8 ways to discover the Islands during Canary Islands month
Endless beaches, a thousand surf spots almost all year round, four national parks, and a unique culture and cuisine.
Dare to discover the islands one by one? Grab your backpack and sandals – we’re off!
1. Dive into the Mar de Las Calmas (El Hierro)
Search “diving paradise” on Google and you’ll find the Mar de Las Calmas. Hop on a boat from La Restinga and prepare to be amazed by the richness of its seabed. Rays, parrotfish and salema (a type of sea bream) are just some of the wonders waiting for you below the waves!
2. Stargaze at Roque de Los Muchachos (La Palma)
La Palma is known as La Isla Bonita for good reason – and one of them is its crystal-clear night skies. At 2,226 metres above sea level, Roque de Los Muchachos offers one of the most awe-inspiring views of the universe.
3. Stroll through laurel forest (La Gomera)
With over 650 km of trails, La Gomera is made for hiking! Don’t miss the circular Laguna Grande–Alto de Garajonay route. Start from the southern part of the national park and finish with your camera roll full of stunning memories.
4. A refreshing dip at Charco de Isla Cangrejo (Tenerife)
Just a short stroll from your accommodation at Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes, you’ll find the natural pool of Isla Cangrejo. Take a revitalising dip in the Atlantic in this unique setting – just be sure to watch out for strong tides and waves!
5. Catch Europe’s best city waves at Las Canteras (Gran Canaria)
A sandal’s throw from your lodge in Gran Canaria lies one of the Canary Islands’ surfing meccas. With 2 km of golden sand and superb waves, Las Canteras welcomes all. Pros will love the powerful surf at La Barra, while beginners can get started in the friendly waters of La Cícer.
6. Beach hopping in the waters of Sotavento (Fuerteventura)
On the Canary Islands’ ultimate beach destination, showing off your sandals in Sotavento is a must! Stretching for kilometres, this beach will have you saying “WOW” – especially if you’re into wind or kitesurfing. The sandbar and shallow lagoon are perfect for both.
7. Sunday market stroll in Teguise (Lanzarote)
In the heart of the old town, get ready to stroll among more than 400 stalls at Teguise Market. One of the largest markets in Europe, it’s the perfect place to pick up clothes, local produce, artisan cheeses and wines.
8. Hear the silence in Pedro Barba (La Graciosa)
If you’re seeking peace and quiet, La Graciosa is the place. In the tiny village of Pedro Barba, the laid-back lifestyle is real. Explore the eighth island by bike or simply relax on its nearby beaches. The choice is yours!
