Part of Spain and located in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Morocco, the Canary Islands are made up of 7 main islands and several much smaller islands.

Home to the highest mountain in Spain, Tenerife?s Mount Teide reaches an astonishing height of 3700m (12400 feet) and often simply disappears into the clouds. You can also find Pico Del Nieves which at 1949m seems small in comparison to Mount Teide. Pico Del Nieves can be found on the Island of Gran Canaria.
International Airports are on each of the main Islands but the busiest by far is Tenerife Airport which usually deals with between 8,500,000-9,000,000 people each year.
Lanzarote Airport also deals with a large number of Holidaymakers, (5,500,000) each year and in the region of 70% of all visitors to Lanzarote are from Germany and the United Kingdom.
The winter months are almost as popular as the summer months in the Canary Islands as many people from all over Europe flock here to take advantage of temperatures that hover around 20C when the rest of Europe is damp and cold.
