CANARY ISLANDS BY NIGHT – The Canary islands host world-class astronomic observatories, at altitudes over 2,400 metres, such as the GREGOR solar telescope in Tenerife, the largest in Europe, or the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma. Both are open to the public and arrange tours to bring their discoveries closer to everyone. You’ll also find several companies that organise guided night tours and observation sessions from the islands’ spectacular viewpoints. Explore the constellations of the Canary Islands night sky with the virtual planetarium.
The Canary Islands boast three starlight reserves where the clarity of the night sky is internationally recognised and protected: The islands of La Palma and Fuerteventura and the highlands of Tenerife. At La Palma, there are Llano del Jable viewpoint, San Antonio volcano and San Bartolo mountain. At Tenerife, there are Guajara mountain and Canadas del Teide.
There’s a perfect place here for you to spend unforgettable moments with your loved ones. Sit at an outdoor terrace bar, dine under the stars, dance until dawn and share experiences with new people. Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise, in Lanzarote; Corralejos in Fuerteventura; Las Palmas and Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, and Puerto de la Cruz and Playa de las Americas in Tenerife are some of the best places to enjoy a great atmosphere and the best views with good music.
In the Canary Islands, there are a wide variety of restaurants offering international food cooked by prestigious chefs, some with Michelin Stars. And after dinner, have a first drink at an outdoor terrace bar with the stars overhead. Whether it’s a hotel roof bar by a nightclub on a seaside terrace or in a local square, enjoy the night air in your own way. The night goes on and options multiply. Nightclubs in the Canary Islands have a long history and their booths attract top DJs. With the warm nights and a constant stream of visitors looking for fun, the atmosphere is guaranteed. Some places even have outdoor dance floors. If you’re not a clubber, don’t worry. There are traditional dance halls and jazz clubs waiting for you.
SAFETY AND EUROPEAN STANDARDS – In addition to an extensive infrastructure of hotels, apartments and tourist services, the Canary Islands offer the peace of mind of travelling to a territory that forms part of the European Union, which observes European standards and makes its highly developed health system available to visitors. The varied accommodation offering includes a complete catalogue of outdoor activities to enjoy in beautiful and unique natural settings: hiking, cycling and all sorts of adventure sports, including rock-climbing, paragliding, bungee jumping and loads more. Barely a 4-hour flight separates the average European capital from this land of happy, friendly and hospitable people, a place where mankind and nature go hand in hand.
