For a vacation with a difference, why not book your
HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN? But to make it even more special schedule your away time in that little group of islands just off the north-western coast of Africa: the Canary Islands. This island paradise represents one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Even though the Canary Islands are situated closer to Africa than they are to mainland Spain, they are still considered to be Spanish, with a pinch of African thrown in. There are seven main islands plus a few smaller ones that make up the Canary Islands and most of them are only a days sailing apart.
The Canary Islands were originally known as the Fortunate Islands by the ancient Greeks. They probably named them this due to the lush landscape and a perfect year round climate. All the major islands in the Canary group are individual in themselves as each one has its own well developed communication systems, ports and airports. They are also known worldwide as a holiday destination with sunshine all year long with temperatures that allow you to play outside anytime you choose. Further proof of their individuality is they are outside the EU trading zone even though they are part of Spain.
If you are a whale and dolphin watcher you couldn't find a better place to do your observing, especially with twenty six species occupying these waters. Ever wondered where these islands got their name? You probably thought it was after the bird but you would be wrong according to historians. The islands got their name from the dogs, and the birds got their name form the islands.
If you are planning a trip to the Canary Islands, stop by one of the travel agencies and acquire as much information from them as possible. This will give you a good insight to the islands before you travel. One of the interesting things you will soon discover is the fruit and vegetables grown on the islands and the fish caught off shore are found nowhere in Spain. This results in a cuisine that is somewhat different from that found on mainland Spain. You will surely be seduced by the cuisine, culture and the best quality leisure activities around.
These islands were formed by volcanic action giving them a rough and ready appearance but in reality they are an authentic island paradise that entices you to escape your mundane everyday lifestyle and relax. Just think all this could be available within a four hour flight from anywhere in Europe. Upon arrival you will see white sand dunes and crystal clear water, jungle like forests, lunar landscapes and deep coves with shiny black volcanic sand or vast golden beaches. When you add to this the island culture that has evolved over the centuries and a race of people that have retained their heritage including deep rooted festivals and exquisite island cuisine, you have an island paradise beyond compare.
