The 7 islands boast average temperatures that hover between 64 and 75, but they also have a wide range of microclimates, thanks to varying topographies that include snow-covered mountains and pristine beaches.

Natural wonders in the Canary Islands

Located off the coast of Morocco in north-west Africa, the Canary Islands are renowned for their black sand beaches and occasionally-active volcanoes. The islands offer a vast range of geography, from exotic beaches and sheer rocky cliffs to lush farmland and soaring mountains, and are also home to an abundant bird population, including the bright yellow canary. Contrary to popular opinion, the bird was named after the islands and not the other way round. Savvy observers may spot the rare and endangered caretta turtle or the bottle-nose dolphin.
