When the chill gets too much, the Canary's song beckons.

The outdoor lover's winter playground, the walker's paradise and the beach bum's dream come true, the Canaries offer one of the easiest escapes from a snowy European winter. Avoid the mega-resorts and have yourself a more authentic, relaxing time. Read the overview

Climate

Overview

Yes, it really is like a permanent spring in the Canary Islands, with a particularly benign climate putting a smile on your face as soon as you hit the tarmac. Mean temperatures range from 18°C (64°F) in winter to about 24°C (75°F) in summer, though daily highs often reach 35°C (95°F). On a hot day at the beach, however, it can be pleasantly cool higher up. The snow atop Teide is a clear enough reminder that, in winter, some warm clothing is essential.
