After a hectic festive period, this winter escape to the Canaries makes for the perfect start to the New Year, an opportunity to relax and refresh yourself at a string of beautiful, sun-kissed destinations. At every island on your itinerary, inviting, warm-sand beaches, natural wonders and local cultural delights await discovery. You could indulge in hours of relaxation on the beaches near Santa Cruz in Tenerife and Gran Canaria’s rolling Maspalomas dunes, and leave your footprints in the black sands along Lanzarote’s dramatic coast. Feel the heat of Lanzarote’s volcanic peaks too, on an exploration of the island’s lunar-like landscapes.
Perhaps witness the wonder of Mount Teide – Spain’s highest peak – during your visit to Tenerife also; and, on Gran Canaria, enjoy a laid-back wander through enchanting towns such as Puerto de Mogán and Santa Brígida as you make the most of the Canarian sunshine. Elsewhere, you have a chance to delight in a day of indulgence at the Olsen family-owned Hotel Jardin Tecina on La Gomera; and revel in the peace and beauty of La Palma. Away from the Canaries, there’s also a visit to the Portuguese island of Madeira; here you can ride the cable car in Funchal and take in views of the surrounding verdant landscapes, watch as people glide down the capital’s steep hills on wicker toboggans, and sample delicious, locally-produced sweet wines. Bolette takes you to the Spanish mainland and to La Coruna, where your visit is time to coincide with the city’s Three Kings street parade and Epiphany celebrations.
