It is one of the most famous vacation spots. The Canary Islands have an exceptionally mild and pleasant climate.

On the island we can also find the pyramids in Guíamar, which were built by the original Guanches.

     Fuerteventura is the longest and warmest of the Canary Islands, it offers the most beautiful beaches, and so this island is also a very popular place for a year-round vacation. One of the few local monuments is the church in the town of Pájara with a portal decorated with Aztec motifs. There are 13 protected nature reserves on this island.

The most popular and at the same time the liveliest of the Canary Islands is Gran Canaria, which offers nightlife and a magical atmosphere. The capital city of Las Palmas is also the largest center of the entire Canary Islands. The natural formation Roque nublo, "cloud rock", is one of the symbols of the island and measures 1813 meters above sea level.

     Lanzarote - Visiting the Parue Nacional de Timanfaya National Park on this island will certainly not make you stupid. Many endemic species living only in these parts can be seen here.
