La Palma 🌄🌴

The most tropical of the Canaries, with mountainous landscapes and lush vegetation, La Palma is a nature-lover’s paradise.

While in the town of Santa Cruz you’ll find old colonial architecture and a lively seafront promenade of cafes and restaurants.

Lanzarote 🏖⛰

As the second smallest island of the Canaries, you’ll find in just a few miles you can go from palm-covered valleys to rugged canyons to sun-soaked coastal areas. Don’t miss out on the main attractions like Garajonay National Park and the picturesque village of Vallehermoso.

El Hierro ️🚶‍♂️🏖

El Hierro may be the smallest of the Canary Islands, but it is packed with stunning scenery, rich culture and beautiful beaches.
