Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
|
|
|
|
|
The largest of the Canary Isles is Tenerife. Due to the mild climate and its geography, the island has a number of micro-climates. A mountain range spans the island at the centre of which is the impressive volcanic crater Cañadas del Teide with a diameter of around 20 km, and 'Teide' itself, which measures 3,718 metres in height. The valleys on either side of the mountains are extremely fertile, with important banana and tomato cultivation. By the sea there are beautiful sections of coastline with craggy cliffs and others with wide, fine sandy beaches. Active holidaymakers should visit Teide National Parks, Loro Parque, Barranco del Infierno, the cliffs of Los Gigantes, the pyramids at Güimar, the Anaga mountains, La Laguna, La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz, Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and the Aqua Park.

Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain)
|
|
|
|
|
Lanzarote is the most easterly of the 7 large Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and lies 1,000 km from the Spanish mainland. The regular volcanic activity experienced in the 18th and 19th century has made Lanzarote an island of contrasts. The mountains in Timanfaya National Park with its fine white sandy beaches are particularly impressive. In 1993 the island was designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Sights include: the art, cultural and tourist centres on the island.
