Or move there for constantly? Then most likely you want to know what the best of all Canary Islands.

When it comes to something more short rest, a person should be attentive and good to appreciate all the advantages and disadvantages.

Despite the fact that the preferring of people strongly depend on them, all the same there are factors that cannot be neglected.

Infrastructure, education, healthcare, real estate, prices for goods and services, business and entertainment opportunities, transport accessibility, Internet access, etc., all these are things of essential in the modern world.

No need to make a serious analysis to reduce the choice of up to two islands - and.

Sylvain.

Both places are quite cosmopolitan and are the house of people from all over the world, so you hardly feel like a foreigner, provided that here is full of thousands of other people like you.

As for the rest of the islands, they are simply beautiful, but much unlucky and isolated.

Tenerife is the best of the Canary Island? If the best means the most diverse, then the answer is yes, it is he. Listed several reasons:

1. Tenerife is the biggest. Often when a person lives on the island, in this moment a strong desire appears to sit in the car and just move away from the place where you live.

If you chose Tenerife, you can spend all day by living the island and see again only a small part of everything that he offers.

2. Tenerife is the most cosmopolitan. Despite the fact that the island of Grand Canary is considered the most cosmopolitan city on the archipelago, Tenerife as a whole more crowded, and is the house more foreigners.

Björn Ognibeni.

The interest in Tenerife even reaches the most remote and distant settlements, and this creates a modern multicultural environment in which more young people feel solely well.

3. The climate is more diverse. The northern windless coast on Tenerife is one of the coldest places on the archipelago. The winter is almost like on the Mediterranean, only a little softer.

János Balázs.

In the south, however, quite a friend - warm and dry. Only for comparison - the daily temperature in January of the northern coast is about 16-18 ° C, and on the southern - 21 ° C.

4. Landscape is richer. Steep rocky coast, white and black beaches, deciduous, coniferous and rain forests, snow-covered mountain peaks, semi-desert terrain, extensive plantations for tropical fruits and strange rock formations - all this is in a few kilometers from each other.

Ian Palmer

In fact, not only on the Canary Islands, but also in the world as a whole, some places offering so rich variety on such a small area.

5. Witing everywhere. Without importance from whether it is about countless institutions, promotional attractions like Loro Park in or about exciting nightlife on the island, Tenerife is incredible and everyone will find something for themselves.

6. Development. Tenerife is the largest economic center on the Canary Islands.

Probably does not sound very touristly, but if you decide to settle there for constantly and do business, it is one of the most important factors.

Climate of the Canary Islands, Spain

Since Canaras are located close to the African continent, and more specifically to the Sahara desert, the tropical trade car, moderately hot and dry climate prevail. On the islands from the Sahara blowing the wind Sherga, which brings with me heat and sand.

The influence of the African continent is mitigated by constant trade winds, which blow from the northeast and bring moisture to the island. In addition, the climate on the islands is softer thanks to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as due to the Cold Canary Current.

It is also worth noting that the Canary Islands are quite mountainous, so the climate affects the height and relief. It is worth noting that the highest islands are Tenerife, La Palma and Grand Canaria. Here, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, you can even see the snow.

The climate and weather in the north are slightly different from more southern islands. The northern islands are characterized by a more thick greens and a higher level of humidity, while the southern islands are more dry.

Origin of the name of the Canary Islands

Some mistakenly believe that the name of these islands occurred from Canary, but everything is just the opposite - the birds received their name in honor of the Canary Islands.

The name Las Islas Canarias (or the Canary Islands) comes from the Latin "Canariae Insulae", which literally means "dog island". According to the ancient Roman scientist, Pole senior, this name was obtained by these places due to a large number of large dogs living there.

But there is another version that says that the "dog island" received their name is not due to four-legged friends, but because of the large colonies of the sea lions that previously lived near the Canis Marinus or (sea dogs).

The third version states that the Guangchi is the indigenous population of the archipelago - the dogs were sacred animals.

Holidays on the Canary Islands

The largest island of the Canary archipelago is Tenerife. Here is a huge selection of rest sites, both lovers will retire and for those who love to have fun from the soul.

Puerto de la Cruz Island, more suitable for lovers to connect with nature and relax in a relaxed atmosphere. But it is worth noting that the coast on this island is cool and rocky, and there are almost no beaches, so most of the holidaymakers prefer to swim in the pools in their hotels.

The island of Gran Canaria, as well as Tenerife, offers a variety of recreation. There are many major tourist centers with lots of hotels, apartments, shops, restaurants and attractions. Perhaps the main attraction of the island island (Dunas de Maspalomas), which can be considered a miniature copy of the Sahara desert. There is very clean golden sand, on which the beach is 5 km long.

To begin with, we will develop some very popular myths relating to holidays on the Canary Islands in general and recreation with children in particular.

Myth is the first: it is very expensive. Not true. More precisely, not the whole truth. A widely developed tourism infrastructure allows you to choose both expensive and very budgetary holiday options.

Myth Second: Warm edges require acclimatization. In the case of the Canary Islands, this is completely wrong. Their climate, especially if you have chosen not hot summer, and autumn or spring, acclimatization does not require.

Myth Three: Children there has nothing to do there. This is a holiday for adults. Fullness, dear! Your kids there will be, perhaps, even more interesting than you. In addition, rest on Canar may be extremely useful children suffering from chronic lung diseases and having problems with allergies.

But first things first.

Where we go where it is better to stop

The fact is that, speaking of the Canary Islands, most of us automatically imply Tenerife. If you figure out, quite a logical point of view. There are excellent beaches, hotels, widely developed recreation infrastructure. However, if you don't care about crowded, it is quite possible to pay attention, say, on El Ierro, if you like the story - on La Gomer, where Christopher Columbus himself lived. La Palma is suitable to lovers of ecotourism. However, if you have time, you can, staying on Tenerife, to visit all or almost all of the archipelago islands. Such an opportunity can be provided by local tourist firms.

So, we decided to stay on Tenerife. Choosing a hotel, decide exactly which requirements you are presented to the hotel, in which they decided to stop with children: service level, food organization, location. Well, the price per room, of course. The choice is great here. We can only recommend some deserving special attention.

For example, the five-star hotel Iberostar Grand Hotel Anthelia will offer you, except for a standard set of services, a children's pool with a heated fresh water, a playground and a room for games, a crib, special clubs for children from 4 to 7, 8-12 years old and teen, and Other pleasant additions in the form of entertainment programs, discos and sporting events. For the smallest you can even hire a nanny right at the hotel.

For some rest on the Canary Islands - a dream, for others - a wonderful alternative to vacation in African neighbors, and for someone is just a bad habit. What is the rest on the wonderful islands, which, according to an old legend, have once been part of the legendary Atlantis? You can answer this question only when you know mysterious and amazing canary ...

Comfortable climate

Of course, the main property of the Canary Islands is a truly unique climate. And the island of Tenerife, Grand Canary and La Palma is called "continents in miniature", and Tenerife, in addition, proudly magnify the "island of eternal spring". Affectionate rays of the Sun and the comfortable water of the Atlantic Ocean are hospitable all year round.

A particularly pleasant moment is that the Canary Islands absolutely do not know how to joke with the health of the vacationers. It is difficult to believe, but even the Russian northearts who come to the Canary Summer in the midst of winter, the delights of acclimatization will not be given possible.

So, stepping on the land of the Canary archipelago, do not even hope for trouble with well-being. Although it should be noted that from the hangover and the problems with digestion you are unlikely to insure, if, of course, you are not a troll and stop. To resist the wonderful Canarian wines and dishes of the original cuisine of the Canary Islands, believe me, it is very difficult.
