Canarias Vacations, Canarias Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Though part of European territory, the Canarias are a group of Islands situated a few hundred kilometers West of Morocco. The archipelago consists of seven 7 major islands, two minor islands, and several small islets. The oceanic islands are of volcanic origin and can be found in the North Atlantic Ocean. They form the autonomous community of the Canary Islands which is administered by Spain.

The islands all have an eternal springtime. Temperatures between the seasons vary only some 6º C, the monthly average temperatures are from 18º to 24º C (64,4 and 75,2ºF). Ideal bathing conditions through all the year. Due to the islands geographical location, some 4º from the tropic of cancer and very close to the African coast, the islands' climate is subtropical. The surprising landscape, with high mountains covered by snow very close to the beaches, is an additional attraction. Water temperature varies from 22º C in summer to 19º C in winter.

The character of the population is influenced by this favored climate as well, Canarians are famous for being always friendly and in good mood. That can be said about the numerous foreigners, who use to spend the winter-months here, as well.
