• POPULAR DESTINATIONS - THE CANARY ISLANDS
The Canaries have been known as the "Fortunate Isles" for their incomparable natural beauty---from volcanic deserts in the east, wind-swept dunes in the south, and the misty forests in the north.
Beyond tourism, the islands are blessed with incredible national parks and stunning Atlantic vistas.
• TENERIFE
Tenerife!One island, two very different holidays. The scenery of this volcanic island varies wildly‚ from the hot sunshine of the arid south to the lush green north. Playa de las Americas in the south enjoys high temperatures and lively nightspots‚ while sophisticated Puerto de la Cruz in the north boasts dramatic scenery.
Explore the rich heritage of the island - Las Canadas Natural Park with Mount Tiede, the highest mountain in Spain; the Orotava Valley full of banana plantations; the Casa de los Balcones (House of balconies) in Orotava town; the beautiful old colonial town of Icod de los Vinos where you can see the famous Dragon Tree, at least 600 years old; Garachico, once the principal port on the island till it was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1706. Now an amazing living museum; Los Gigantes - the gigantic cliff formations on the west side of the island. For more places to visit click Eurosol

• LANZAROTE
Lanzarote
• FUERTEVENTURA
Fuerteventura
is the hottest and driest of the Canaries, and about three-quarters of the countryside is dotted with volcanic lava. UNESCO declared Lanzarote a World Biosphere Reservation for its protection and conservation.
For a memorable experience take a camel ride across the fascinating lunar-like landscape of Timanfaya National Park.
Visit the famous cactus garden of Guatiza, the interesting vineyards of La Geria or the fascinating Green Caves.
Puerto del Carmen, halfway along the southern coast, is the island’s main resort and stretches for about five kilometres. This is the place for nightlife as well. Centro Atlantico, in the centre of the main strip, is where you can find many bars and discos. Matagorda is quieter but there can be some aircraft noise.
On the long, soft, sandy beaches at Puerto del Carmen, the sea is generally very calm. Quieter beaches can be found in Playa de los Pocillos and Matagorda.
