According to legend, when God created the stars some of their fragments fell into the Atlantic Ocean forming the Canarian Archipelago.
Due to its variety and its climate this Archipelago has something special that is seldom found in the rest of the world. The different landscapes and temperatures found throughout the Islands are so amazing it could be said that they are a cross-section of the whole planet.
The black landscape of Lanzarote with its 300 volcanoes contrasts with the green lushness of La Palma; the Laurisilva forests of Garajonay National Park in La Gomera, contrasts with the sand dunes of Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria.
The ravines of El Hierro contrasts with the mildness of the valley of La Orotava in Tenerife. In the last few decades the Canaries have become one of the most important tourist destinations in the world.
Nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts can find here their earthly paradise; its colonial past, the local festivals, the folklore, the gastronomy and the offer of rural tourism satisfies those looking for that extra element in their holidays.
