 A house in La Gomera by Maria_75
The island is an ideal escape for any tourist or resident wishing to get away for a few days in the tranquil surroundings of a beautiful natural island with its own national park.
The island has dense permenantly green forests and a continuous mist in its central region; this is a genuine subtropical island not to be missed. Leave a Comment

 The volcanic landscape of
Lanzarote by Maria_75
The islands name is assumed to be a corruption of Lancelotto Malocella, the Genoese seafarer who landed on the island in the late 13th or early 14th Century.
The scenery here is quite amazing, and often referred to as mystical and magical. The landscape is dominated by remains of the volcanic eruptions. Leave a Comment

 Puerto de Mogan by Maria_75
When you go driving along the coast in the south you will find a new touristresort popping up around every corner, and still more are beeing built. But if you take off the mainroad and look closely you can find a few canarian villages without too many tourists.
One of the most beautiful touristresorts in the south is Puerto de Mogan. A beautiful example of how more touristplaces should be built.

 Santa Brigida, Gran Canaria by Maria_75
The island is dominated by huge touristresorts, mostly inhabited by british, german and scandinavian tourists. It has a reputation for being as lively as Tenerife, but with better beaches.
You can still find some stunning scenery here, from desertlike sanddunes and pine forests, to banana plantations and volcanic landscapes. Beachlovers like it in the south were there are most sunnydays in the year, and windsurfers are in heaven on the south-east coast. Leave a Comment

 Landscape of
Fuerteventura by Maria_75
The resorts are surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches. Follow the near deserted roads around the island and they will take you through some of the most staggering scenery - from barren volcanic mountains to vast, deserted sand dunes.
Legend has it that Jean de Bethencourt said "Que fuerte ventura" (What a strong experience) when he first arrived at the island in 1402. Others say it was the strong wind, el viento fuerte, that gave name to the island. Leave a Comment

 View from La Palma by Maria_75
La Palma boasts unbelievable clear blue skies and is home to the Roque de los Muchachos Astrophysics Observatory. The island is not only a major banana producer, but it is also renowned for excellent farming skills.
The coast is rugged with steep hills almost falling into the sea. There are just a few small beaches with fine, black sand, and there are no big touristresorts here. Leave a Comment

 View from Teide by Maria_75
This is truly an island of contrasts, from the lush greenery of the north to the sun baked expanses of the south. With a fantastic blend of sandy beaches, spectacular scenery and an exciting nightlife. Leave a Comment

 A church in El Hierro by Maria_75
The steep cliffs which fall into the sea and the rolling mists give an air of romanticism and mystery to this secluded island. There are no big beaches and touristresorts here. Leave a Comment

 A plaza in Las Palmas by Maria_75
In the old district of Las Palmas, Vegueta, you can find the historical and important buildings. This is were Christopher Columbus stayed before he went to the new world.
The city also has a great beach, Las Canteras, plenty of shoppingcentres and two very famous shoppingstreets, Calle Mesa y Lopez and Calle Mayor de Triana.
There are plenty of museums, parks, restaurants, bars, discos and other entertaining things to be found here. Definetly worth a trip.
