The Canary Islands
This paradisiac group of islands, with a preferred climate and constant temperature through all the year, and splendid beaches of fine sand, consists of 7 larger islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, Hierro) and a few smaller ones (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montana Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste und Lobos). Surprisingly, the landscape of each island is radically different to the others.
All seven Canary Islands are inhabited, and all are year-round tourist destinations, receiving something like ten million visitors a year. Each of the islands has a slightly different climate, according to their distance from continental Africa and their position with regard to the trade winds. This climate varies from mild and wet to very warm and dry (the closer to Africa the island, the hotter its climate), but in general, the weather in the Canary Islands is reliably pleasant throughout the year.
