Located around 100 miles east of the coast of Africa, the Canary Islands boast what has been described as the world’s best climate. Average temperatures vary little throughout the seasons, falling to a winter low of about 21 degrees, and peaking in the summer months at around 27 degrees.

The most popular winter holiday destination in Europe, The Canary Islands are Spanish and tourism is the main industry. The islands offer a wide choice of self catering apartments and villas, most with pools. English is widely spoken.

The coastal areas of all the islands are well developed with hotels, apartment blocks and villas. Many of the apartments and villas were purchased by absentee owners who spend only part of the year in their properties. Most are rented during the remainder of the year on a self catering basis, a profitable business as holiday accommodation is in demand all year because of the agreeable climate.
