The
Canary Islands are "rich in natural beauty" and have much to offer British holidaymakers, it has been claimed.
Speaking today (October 15th), Ignacio Vasallo, director of the Spanish Tourist Office, said that the
Canary Islands were at the forefront of the "travel revolution" during the 1960s and 1970s and continued to "set the precedent" for other destinations.
"From the rich natural beauty of northern
Tenerife, to the wine routes of north-eastern
Gran Canaria and from the golden beaches of Lazarote to the unspoiled calm of
La Gomera and the ancient volcanic landscape of
Fuerteventura, increasing numbers of discerning travellers are discovering the magical allure of these islands," he commented.
Mr Vasallo added that visitors are attracted by the glorious weather and warm Spanish welcome, with Canary Island holidays continuing to represent fantastic value for money.
Situated off the coast of Africa, the
Canary Islands enjoy a remarkably mild climate and welcome visitors all year round.
