The Canary Islands consists of 7 larger islands (Gran Canaria, Fuertoventura, Lanzerote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera and Hierro) and of a few smaller ones (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montañia Clare, Roque del Este and Lobos. The landscape of each island is radical different to the others. The two most popular islands among tourists are Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

Tenerife has a great variety of micro-climates in a very small geographic area and provides interest for many different types of tourists, not just those looking for beaches, but also others that enjoy hiking, climbing, paragliding or other outdoor pursuits.Tourists with other tastes will find beaches and a great nightlife in Puerto de la Cruz, Las Americas, Santa Cruz and La Laguna. Theme parks, exhibition halls, cinemas, museums and other centers complete the top-class range of activities.

The main beaches on Gran Canaria are located along the southern part of the island, between Tarajalillo and Morgan, this is the sunniest and driest part of the island. The mountains of the interior act as a barrier against the clouds that come from the North, with the result that the skies in the South remain clear practically all year round. Each beach is linked to a tourist area, where you will find all the comforts of a urban center or the peacefulness of a small village. On the Southern tip you can enjoy huge famous beaches like Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas, surrounded by the empty dunes and kilometers of sand.

You can book your holiday villa through an agency or direct with the owners. There are many search engines for both alternatives.

If you book through an agency, it is usually more expensive, but the agency will normally guaranty the standard and the equipment of the villa. If you book direct with the owner you only has his word for the standard of the villa.

Before you book remember among other things to investigate:

• Time of arrival and check out
• Any requirements to pay a deposit to be returned at departure.
• The number of guest who are allowed to stay at the villa.
• If pets are allowed.
• Sometimes children are not allowed.
• The requirements for cleaning and washing at check out. Who does it and at what price.
• Insurance cover if anything gets damaged while you stay at the house.
