Gran Canaria
The Canary Islands
A Winter Getaway
February 22 - March 1, 2023 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
Although politically in Europe (the islands are a part of Spain), the Canary Island archipelago sits in the Atlantic off the northwestern coast of Africa, and thus benefits from a tropical climate. On the same latitude as Orlando, FL, the Canaries have less rainfall and warmer average temperatures than Florida.

Early visitors included the Phoenicians, the Greeks, and the Romans, but it was not until 1402 that the Castilian Spanish conquered the islands. When they arrived they found indigenous inhabitants, whose origin remains a mystery.
Our tour divides its time between the two largest islands of the chain of seven – Gran Canaria and Tenerife. There will be free time to enjoy the weather, take tours into the heart of each island to marvel at the incredible volcanic scenery, explore the culture and enjoy Canarian delicacies, such as the local wines and cheeses, and the abundant fresh seafood.
Join Discover Europe and escape the winter for a week in The Canary Islands.
