This is, without a doubt, the beach route of the Canary Islands par excellence. From Gran Tarajal, a town with a large presence of residents, to the southern tip of Fuerteventura, the blond sand of countless coves continuously invites you to stop the car and enjoy the Atlantic. The first stop, in Tarajalejo, contrasts with the rest, given its black sand and lesser presence of hotels, but well worth a visit for breakfast. From here to the south, sunbathing and sea lovers will never have a chance to protest. On the contrary.

Both in its history and in its present, Puerto de la Cruz encompasses numerous contributions from the British community.

Rarely do you get to embark on a driving tour like this. The south of Lanzarote is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive and beautiful places in the Canary Islands. The typical white houses contrast with the volcanic spectacle, which justifies any ticket to the island and demonstrates the inner strength of the earth in the form of fire mountains. The option of camel trekking, the palette of reds to blacks, a dream lake and golden beaches are well worth at least a day out of every life.

Costa Adeje boasts a small, secluded bay where visitors can snorkel or scuba dive alongside large inquisitive turtles. Known as El Puertito de Armeñime, this inviting arch-shaped beach with its small group of houses is set in a protected semi-circular bay just a few kilometres away from the tourist resorts of western Tenerife. Swimming in its crystal-clear waters among peaceful green turtles of up to 20 kilos in weight that are well used to the presence of people creates a wonderful lasting memory.

The Torre (Tower) of Malpique, in the far south of La Palma, is a difficult dive at a depth of a maximum of 40 metres and is of great interest to underwater photographers and lovers of vertigo and weightlessness. The Torre is a massive column of volcanic rock , about 20 metres high which emerges vertically from a depth of 50 metres and is covered with black coral. Dives can only take place in suitable sea conditions. The Torre is one of the favourite places for diving on this island which is included in the Unesco Biosphere Reserves.

The beach at La Cuevita, located on the coast of San Sebastian de La Gomera, is ideal for scuba divers of all levels. Located on the east of the island, it is one of the most popular dive spots in La Gomera because of its easy accessibility and its biodiversity, thanks to the currents in the area. Rays, garden eels and barracudas are some of the frequent visitors to La Cuevita but occasionally turtles and giant ocean sunfish can be seen.

Montaña Amarilla is a beautiful coastal hill formed by yellow volcanic ash and sculpted by erosion.

Due to the exceptional natural beauty and privileged weather of the area, the Canary Islands have long been an international filming hub.

Baja Bocarones is one of the best descent wall dives in El Hierro and has a rich diversity of marine life. About three nautical miles from the southernmost tip of the island of El Hierro, tracing its eastern coast, is the descent point. Below the water is a 30-metre-high tower of volcanic rock shaped like a column. It’s very hard to believe that this obelisk, with its completely vertical walls, wasn't shaped by human hands.

With its easy access by land and spectacular marine life, Playa Chica is the perfect place for a night dive in Lanzarote.
