Discover Canary Islands

Traveling to the Canary Islands is an unforgettable adventure. This tourist destination is full of gastronomic, cultural, historical and natural wonders.

You will be able to find natives with incredible stories, as well as activities that you will never erase from your memory. Within the Canary Islands are El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, La Palma, Lanzarote and Tenerife. Each of these places offers unique adventures.  

It should be noted that each island has its own gastronomy. You can enjoy dishes made with potatoes, sweet potato, mint, chickpeas, vegetables and meat. Among the typical dishes you cannot miss “Potaje de Berros”, “Rancho Canario”, “Potaje de Trigo”, the “Canarian Ropa Vieja” and the “Sancocho” or the “Tollos” in sauce. “Papas Arrugadas” with “Viejas Guisadas” are also delicious.

We recommend you to visit the island of Gran Canaria, where you can see mountains, small picturesque villages, banana plantations, orchards with seasonal fruits and peaceful beaches. Similarly, the Canarian Museum is the main one of the island, where you can discover skulls of the first human beings in the world, as well as mummies of the first natives of the area. In addition, there is the House of Christopher Columbus, full of travel journals, souvenirs and maps
