Description
Find your own journey. The Canary Islands can offer a leisurely holiday on a single island, or serve as the starting point for a journey across several. Lonely Planet’s guide facilitates finding your ideal combination of coastal areas, natural landscapes, and city life, with experiences extending beyond the nearest beach.
Experiences to anticipate. Envision the sunset over the Corralejo dunes on Fuerteventura, the street art in La Ranilla in Puerto de la Cruz, and the marine landscapes around El Hierro. The guide covers Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro. Here, you can compare the distinct character of each island before deciding where to spend your holiday.
Who is this guide suitable for? This is an excellent choice if you seek a comprehensive travel guide to the archipelago. Use it to select a base and plan day trips, or to explore whether another island better suits the nature, atmosphere, and pace of travel you are looking for.
From inspiration to your own plan. Utilize the guide before departure to select key experiences you truly desire, and view them in the context of your overall trip. A route with fewer stops can allow more time to get acquainted with each location, and it is often beneficial to leave some days less rigidly planned. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to accomplish and what you want to have time to experience.
A physical travel guide is also valuable to refer back to during your trip. Lay it out when discussing the next leg of your journey, rediscover an idea you’ve noted, and allow your plans to evolve as you become familiar with the destination. It serves equally well as inspiration for your initial travel dreams and as support when making concrete choices.
