Canary Islands Road Trip Holidays

When it comes to getaways, the Canary Islands are serious people-pleasers and a self-drive tour of the Spanish archipelago is the ultimate way to see the absolute best of the region. Ride the traditional tourism wave on the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura, hike through the otherworldly volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, enjoy the festivities of a traditional Spanish fiesta in Gran Canaria and feast on paella washed down with a glass of sangria on a dolphin-spotting boat trip in Tenerife. Culture is the real deal here too. The colonial streets of Santa Cruz in La Palma are unassumingly beautiful and a gorgeous pitstop to watch the world go by. Alterantively, head to San Sebastian on the island of La Gomera and learn about Christopher Columbus’ legendary stop here on his way to discover the Americas. Canary Islands road trips are mornings spent discovering isolated coves and swimming in sparkling waters, afternoons hiking up lunar-like volcanoes and losing your breath when you reach the top, and evenings in underground restaurants eating some of Spain’s best seafood. For adventure lovers and sun-seekers, fun-loving couples and laid-back families, a road trip around the Canaries has something for everyone.
