How to organize a vacation in the Canary Islands – My vacation – October 12 – 43208809179
The Canary Islands have been considered the world’s favorite holiday destination for a significant amount of time.
The richest nature, gentle sea, wonderful climate and developed infrastructure – all this, as well as comfortable hotels and the highest level of service, make the islands an ideal place to relax. nine0013
And if you dream of relaxing in the Canary Islands, you can organize your vacation in this paradise on the planet either through a travel agency or by booking a room in one of the hotels yourself.
You will also need a visa. At the same time, you will have to apply for a Schengen visa, since the Canary Islands are an insular part of Spain. In this regard, you will need to apply for a visa at the Spanish Embassy. Despite the fact that the procedure for obtaining a visa to Spain is a bit more complicated than to other countries, the time and effort will be justified, as you will be granted a visa for a period of six months. nine0013
What to do in the Canary Islands?
Undoubtedly, most vacationers go to the Canary Islands to sunbathe on the beach and swim in the warm ocean.
However, if you want to diversify your vacation, there are plenty of opportunities here so that you do not get bored.
Every winter in Gran Canaria and Tenerife, the largest Canary Islands, the Canary Carnival is held. And if you are planning a vacation for this time of the year, you have the opportunity to enjoy the grandeur of this colorful event, which is rightfully considered the second largest after the famous carnival held in Rio de Janeiro. nine0013
You can also go windsurfing in the Canary Islands. The best place to practice this exciting sport is in El Medano, in the south of Tenerife. You can take windserving lessons in the same place at a specialized school, where you will be provided with an instructor and the necessary equipment.
However, you can windsurf in the southwestern part of Grand Canaria, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.
In addition, you can complete your vacation in the Canary Islands with scuba diving. nine0013
And for this, there are also plenty of opportunities and excellent conditions.
The underwater world of the islands will amaze you with its splendor. An amazing picture will open before you: myriads of the most beautiful fish that are full of all the colors of the rainbow. You can also go down to the shipwrecks and see or get inside the ships that sank off the coast of the Canaries.
You should definitely include a visit to the largest water park in the Canaries, Maspalomas, which is located in Gran Canaria, in your holiday program on the islands. This park covers an area of approximately 90 thousand sq.m. and is located in the south of the island in the heart of a tropical oasis. Due to the fact that the Canary Islands have beautiful weather throughout the year, the water park is always open to the public.
Features of holidays in the Canary Islands
For those who organize their holidays in the Canary Islands, it will be useful to know some of the features of this place.
And, first of all, there is one type of public transport in the Canary Islands – buses that move strictly according to the schedule.
You will also have the opportunity to get to the place you need by taxi. However, keep in mind that the cost of a taxi ride will cost you a lot. nine0013
In addition, you can rent a car for independent movement in the Canary Islands.
Car rental companies offer a large selection of cars. And in order to be able to move around the islands independently, you must be 21 years old. You will also need to provide a driver’s license and a document identifying your identity. At the same time, you can return the rented car both directly to where you took it, and in any other city, if there is a representative office of this company in it. nine0013
When it comes to things, it is recommended to take only the essentials for a vacation to the Canary Islands, as you can buy everything you need here.
The Canary Islands is a great place for shopping, not only due to the abundance of all kinds of shops, but also due to the absence of customs duties. In addition, here you will be amazed by the low prices.
