Travel: All About The Canary Islands, Spain

Right about now, while freezing in San Francisco, I crave tropical. And naturally begin  my typical research for somewhere to escape. Recently, well, maybe a month or so ago, I saw a film   on Netflix that was not only entertaining and funny, but it was  filmed in the Canary Islands.  Somewhere I’d never been before. I love when a movie delights me – in terms of decor and location.  The last time I was this intrigued was when I saw ONLY YOU with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. which was filmed in when it was filmed all throughout Italy.

Anyway, so because of the film, I did some digging for tourist information and without any more babbling, here are some facts – just in case you are looking for that perfect Honeymoon or anniversary celebration destination:

 

High Season (Dec–Apr & Jul–Aug)

  • Coincides with Christmas, carnival season and Easter
  • Accommodation prices are highest in January and February
  • Mid-summer is holiday time on the Spanish mainland, so expect more tourists
  • July and August are the hottest months of the year, but temperatures rarely hit higher than 38°C
  • Rain is possible from January to March, especially in the mountains

Shoulder Season (May–Jun & Sep–Nov)

  • Temperatures average around 28°C, nights are cooler
  • Fewer tourists visit in the autumn overall
  • Higher altitudes, particularly in Gran Canaria and Tenerife, can be far cooler with some fog

Visa and Customs Information click here:

Citizens of most EU member states, as well as Switzerland, can travel to the Canary Islands with just their national identity card. UK nationals – and all other nationalities – must have a full valid passport.
