DESCRIPTION

The seven islands that make up the Canary Islands, have the reputation of being tropical, Spanish, arid, volcanic, sun-drenched, tormented, environmentally friendly and even religious. However, this well-known tourist destination is above all an affordable exotic luxury. It is Spring all the year round at a 3 hours' distance by plane from all the european capitals. The greenery of the landscape, the small fishing villages and white-washed houses,perched up in the mountains , the active volcanoes, forests shrouded in mist and landscapes that seem to have been painted by the abstract painter, born on the Islands, Cesar Manique, all testify to the fact that the Canary Islands are both a very popular destination and a genuine glimpse of Paradise in the wild.
