Canary Islands

With year-round good weather, the Canary Islands are a sun-seekers paradise and one of the most popular winter sun destinations in Europe if you're looking to top up your tan! Volcanic and rocky, the landscape of the Canary Islands is unique and other-worldly, with volcanoes, black sand beaches and popular resorts and towns waiting to be explored. While the majority of people who visit the Canary Islands prefer to relax on the beach, there are some real hidden gems to be found if you're willing to get off the beaten track and discover the lesser-known spots. Read our guides to the beautiful Canary Islands of Spain here and plan your trip to the sunny islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote, as well as a number of smaller islands.

I miss being enthralled by the world beyond my own borders, but when you look, there are plenty of places to discover on your doorstep... what are your travel plans this year? Hoping to go abroad if restrictions allow? Or staying put and exploring closer to home?
Can't wait to get back out there on the trail for more early mornings like this after a wild camp. My soul is craving coffee, sunrise, incredible scenery and the peace and quiet you get from being in the middle of nowhere at 6am, awake before the rest of the world 😍
Time is the greatest equaliser of all. Everyone gets the same amount. There are no advantages for anyone. It's what we choose to do with our hours that makes the difference.
1 year ago today we boarded a flight bound for Bangkok blissfully unaware we were about to head into a global pandemic and wouldn't be traveling again for over a year 😭. So glad we managed to get this trip in before the world shut down.
I live in quite a lovely place 😍💖
What I wouldn't give right now to be exploring Thailand, lying on a beach in the Caribbean, or sight-seeing in a European city. But as it looks like that isn't going to happen any time soon, I'm trying to focus on all the beautiful places on our doorstep.
