The Playa del Duque holiday town is located on Costa Arona of my beloved #spain and is accessible mainly by car because the transportation in the are is not excellent. The beach here is with super nice sand and I really liked the sunbathing in February. The weather is nice all year round. #happynewyear

This is exactly where the nightlife of Tenerife island is - La playa de las Americas town on Costa Arona. It is very modern resort town with luxurious resorts, hundreds of bars, discos and restaurants. It is one if the Must when visiting the canary islands... and I really love this place! #happynewyear

El pico del Teide is the highest point of Spain although it is actually not in the European continent. It is located in the Canary Islands and most exactly on the island of Tenerife. The height of the peak is above 3700m and in just 30km driving you are passing from beaches and palms to this naked scenary. There is a cable car for those who want to go up. #happynewyear

#canaryislands Fuerteventura feels like a slice of the Sahara surrounded by ocean. I was blown away by the massive dunes near Corralejo — they stretch for miles and spill right into turquoise waters. The beaches are spacious, the air is fresh, and the surf is always good. Architecturally, the island is more low-rise and simple, but that gives it a rustic charm. The windmills, white cottages, and sun-scorched hills make it feel authentic and wild. It’s a beach lover’s dream.

#canaryislands Lanzarote is a visual masterpiece — its black-sand beaches, lava fields, and whitewashed buildings are unlike anywhere else. I spent an afternoon exploring Playa de Famara, a rugged surfers’ paradise with volcanic cliffs as a backdrop. The nearby town has boxy, minimal architecture thanks to César Manrique’s influence. His style blends with nature and you see it in the buildings everywhere — clean lines, cactus gardens, and simple forms. Lanzarote is where raw nature and artistic design coexist beautifully.

#canaryislands #lanzarote island ! What a paradise. So let me get straight to the point and tell you why you choose the title is not a random word I chose but really things to trip.com. I was able to find a very cheap rental car for entire week. I was there with my girlfriend and I can ensure you it’s an awesome different experience. While most of the tourists have just been just in being a city, you have the car you just have the free roaming around the entire island to reach places to talk with the locals and experience was 10 times better than I could ever imagine also got a very good deal on the resort were staying which we save more than 20% of the trip that being said I couldn’t recommend more to go to the Canary Islands because of the remote location of the island which is still being part of Europe, the weather is fantastic. Most of the time of the year they have amazing Spanish cuisine And a very vibrant landscapes that reminds me of Iceland or any volcanic scene from this science fiction movies.

The Canary Islands are a group of volcanic islands located deep in the Atlantic Ocean. While known for sunshine and beaches, the true uniqueness of this archipelago lies in the volcanic energy hidden deep within the Earth's crust. Tens of millions of years ago, a series of violent eruptions shaped these seven main islands and six islets, giving them a rich and diverse landscape. Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) (Figures 1-2) is almost entirely covered in volcanic ash and lava. Layers of rock in red, orange, and yellow resemble solidified flames, recording the intense geological activity that once took place within the Earth. Tenerife Here stands Spain's highest peak and the world's third-largest volcano—Mount Teide (El Teide), reaching an altitude of 3,718 meters (Figures 3-4). Its crater-like landscape and volcanic rock plateaus have attracted filmmakers, with movies like "10,000 BC" and "Star Wars" using it as a backdrop, making it feel like stepping onto another planet. La Gomera The northwest coast of this small island hides an inconspicuous yet breathtaking wonder. Los Órganos (The Organs) (Figures 5-6), a basalt cliff formation spanning 200 meters wide and about 80 meters high, rises above the sea like a giant pipe organ, naturally sculpted by cooling magma. From volcanic peaks to magma remnants, the Canary Islands showcase a world shaped by geological forces. It's not just a vacation paradise, but a journey into the deep history of our planet. 📷 If you've captured these wonders, share your photos and let others see this "volcanic archipelago."

Spain is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its rich tourism resources, deep historical heritage, and unique architecture. More than 1,000 km from mainland Spain, in the Atlantic Ocean, lies a famous "enclave" known as the Canary Islands (Islas Canarias). Like a pearl in the ocean, the Canary Islands are known as the "private garden of Europe's rich." The Canary Islands have a unique geographical location, with the vegetation and natural environment of North Africa, a mild climate, and the Mediterranean culture of Spain, creating an isolated and artistic island atmosphere. The famous writer Sanmao once lived here, where she met her tragic love story, and made more Chinese people yearn for this land. The Canary Islands are made up of seven beautiful islands, facing the Sahara Desert across the sea. The largest island is La Palma, which is like a real-life paradise, primitive and tranquil. Volcanoes, beaches, forests, and oceans blend perfectly to create an ultimate beauty. The small towns and villages by the sea are scattered, exuding a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere. La Palma has a great climate and natural scenery that is completely different from the European and African continents. The pure sky, dense forests, and spectacular volcanoes are all intoxicating. Stepping on this land, you feel as if you are one with the sea, forest, and island, and you don't feel like a tourist at all. The island has less than 100,000 residents, who live a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle. The houses are built on the hills, and the residents drink coffee in their spare time, enjoying a peaceful life. It makes people sigh that this is the "poetry and distance" that people dream of. The sky of La Palma is the most unique, known as the purest and clearest sky on earth. The unique geographical location, climate conditions, and strict control of light pollution make it possible to see a clear and beautiful starry sky at night, which is why it is designated as one of the world's few "starry sky tourist destinations." There is also a legendary astronomical telescope on the island, installed on a mountain at an altitude of 2,400 meters, through which you can clearly observe the night sky, and it is loved by astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers. Every summer, you can take pictures of the Milky Way, which is close and breathtaking. At sunset, the beach becomes the most popular place on the island. People swim, sunbathe, and listen to the wonderful music composed of the sea breeze, waves, and open-air bands, reaching a harmonious state of unity between man and nature. Visitors who love Sanmao will also come here to experience the indescribable beauty of the Canary Islands.

That was one of my favourite trips ever. Quick flight from Barcelona to Tenerife. If you want to go there you must take rent a car and trip across the island. #tenerife
