Among all the five huge islands I found La Palma as the most beautiful and absolutely untouched. The only thing which separated it from the rest was, its not so perfect climate. The place was lush green but wet most of the times. The place is hardly 200 kilometers away from West of Africa and Brazil is the nearest land to island’s west.
I found the central islands, Tenerife and Gran Canaria to be the liveliest of all. The terrific beach activity and ceaseless night life on these islands are the real secrets behind their popularity. I seriously advise you to forget about all other holiday canters and relish the exotic natural beauty on these quite and marvelous islands. I found them apt for relaxing my strained nerves and an escape from maddening crowds.
Gran Canaria proudly exhibits its horticulture including innumerable exotic fruits, crops and trees. I was surprised to see such vast and well maintained coffee and banana plantations. During a long walk I also came across innumerable fields of tobacco and sugar cane. There are plenty of orange grooves and date palm forests on the island. I enjoyed these awesome contrasts and was fortunate enough to relish the fresh fruits from the braches namely mangoes, avocadoes and papayas. It is approximately a forty kilometer stretch from north to south and offers a splendid view of volcanic mountains, desert areas, tropical forests and golden beaches.
Fuerteventura on the other hand is the oldest and offers the longest beaches among all. I could not find much of night life here but the place can be classified as a perfect destination for those families and couples, who plan to spend a nice sunny holiday during winters.
I found canaries to be a mixture of wonderful contrasts and feel that it can cater to a huge variety of interests among tourists. The place simply offers anything and everything; let it be frantic beaches, all-night clubs, exotic hotels, foam parties or fish and chip shoes. The place can provide with a non-stop entertainment for all age groups.
