Lo mejor de las Canarias: 14 noches

About the destination: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a city which offers sun, sea and an exceptional historic legacy. Mild temperatures throughout the year make for an enjoyable seaside resort that's popular with both Spanish and foreign tourists alike. This cosmopolitan city, the biggest in the Canaries, presents an eclectic mix of cultures: the aboriginal Guanche culture, its colonial past and the mainland-Spain feel in an African landscape create a distinctive character. The city’s old quarter, La Vegueta, preserves colonial architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries in its beautiful courtyards and balconies. This lively neighbourhood was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1990. It's also a focal point for some of the island's best cafes, bars and restaurants. Check out Las Palmas’ numerous museums, including the interesting Museo Canario, with its fascinating mummies and trepanned skulls belonging to aboriginal Canarians. For the more adventurous travellers, there are tons of activities to enjoy from surfing, swimming and sailing to scuba diving, snorkelling, abseiling, bungee jumping and paragliding. And let’s not forget, here you’ll find some of the best nightlife in the region.

About the destination: Situated just 79 miles off the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts of Lanzarote appear to be from another world, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'. Amongst the many stunning volcanic features of Lanzarote is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches such as those at Playa Blanca, Papagayo and Caleton Blanco. Alternate lying on the beach with visits to the extraordinary sights created in the volcanic landscape by local artist and environmentalist César Manrique. Don’t miss a tour of the Timanfaya national park either. Take the boat over to the island of La Graciosa off the northern tip for a blissful day swimming in crystal clear water. Visit some of the vineyards in La Geria and hire bikes to test your stamina on some of the excellent cycling routes around the island. The capital city, Arrecife, where cruise ships dock, is uncharismatic but welcoming. South-west of here is the main resort of Puerto del Carmen. It is a buzzing place with a long, tiled promenade linking four miles of beaches and bays. It is ideal for a family with teenagers looking for a bit of excitement, or for holidaymakers who require a dose of shopping, eating out and nightlife. Costa Teguise, on the other side of Arrecife, is a more modest and peaceful alternative which has gone steadily more upmarket in recent years. It tends to appeal to an older generation.

About the destination: Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a beautiful port city situated in Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. An energetic, dynamic city with evocative colonial architecture, museums, art galleries, duty-free shops and colourful markets. Inside the city there are as well exotic landscaped areas as are the fine Botanic Garden, a beautiful unique lagoon, and Loro Parque, an animal park with parrots, sea lions, orca and dolphin shows in an immaculate sub-tropical setting. Santa Cruz hosts every year its famous Carnival, declared to be of international tourist interest and one of the most spectacular in Spain. The city streets come alive with parades, comparsas, street music and dancers to celebrate this sexy and sultry festivity. The city beach, Las Teresitas, is considered one of the best on the north of the island. A spectacular sandy waterfront where palm trees sway to the soft, warm breeze and its beautiful calm waters are ideal to get away from the city buzz.

About the destination: Welcome to Madrid, the vibrant heart of Spain! As the capital city, Madrid is a mesmerizing blend of rich history, stunning architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene.

Don't forget to visit Almudena Cathedral, located right next to the palace, which offers an impressive contrast of modern and traditional architectural styles.
