Bask in the year-round sunshine
White sandy beaches, warm sunshine, azure oceans and charming towns... get a taste of island life in the Canaries.
As the days become shorter and venturing outside requires an ever-increasing number of layers, we invite you to seek out the sunshine in the Canary Islands. Located off Africa’s western coastline, this popular archipelago’s average daytime temperature sits at a comfortable 18 degrees Centigrade, perfectly pleasant for those that want to stroll through Madeira’s Botanical Garden, admire the variation in Gran Canaria’s landscapes or join an included sightseeing excursion during your time in four of the itinerary’s ports. For outdoor enthusiasts and confident walkers, consider a hike to the summit of Mount Teide on the island of Tenerife. Alternatively, an eight-minute cable car journey will provide the same stunning views from the top.
For lunar landscapes, look no further than Lanzarote, the highlight of which will perhaps be Timanfaya Volcano Park which boasts a rugged carpet of dormant volcanoes. Also, during your time in Lanzarote, consider taking a trip to the home and studio belonging to César Manrique, a figure who campaigned for the preservation of the island’s natural appearance. Contrasting the Canaries’ natural splendour, a sightseeing drive through Lisbon provides a window into the city’s history, told by its varied architecture – much of which was rebuilt following an earthquake in 1755. Gaze up at Castelo de Sao Jorge, a Moorish fortification that overlooks Alfama – Lisbon’s oldest district – and step inside Sé, the city’s impressive cathedral, boasting elements of Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles. Santa Cruz, La Palma’s capital city, is no less historically captivating, the cobbled streets of which are overlooked by balconies belonging to Colonial-era buildings. The city is also an excellent departure point for excursions to visit Caldera de Taburiente National Park, created by volcanic activity and punctuated by pretty pine forests and jagged cliffs.
