Welcome to the Canary IslandsThe Canaries are a cluster of seven main islands, situated off the coast of North Africa. They are
Lanzarote, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Palma, El Hierro, and
La Gomera.
They are rugged volcanic islands with the highest peak, on the island of Tenerife, rising to 3,700 m/12,200 ft. This high mountain is snow capped around the year, in marked contrast to the mild temperatures experienced at or near sea level in winter.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are here rather cool because of the cold Canaries current; thus, summer temperatures rarely rise very high, while winters are mild.

Weather in the Canary Islands
The warmest days in summer occur when hot, dry air is drawn out from the Sahara desert and reaches as far as the islands. This air may sometimes be laden with fine dust particles blown from the desert. However, it reaches the islands with a raised relative humidity and lower temperatures after its passage across the cool ocean water.
The weather may be disturbed for a few days at a time in winter under the influence of an Atlantic depression, but such stormy and wet periods are not frequent. Some fog and cloud may occur in the summer months, which are usually dry and sunny with no very hot days.
The northern shores of the islands, being more exposed to the predominant northeast trade winds, are rather wetter than the sheltered southern coasts. Daily sunshine hours range from an average of six in winter to as many as eleven in the summer months.
The Canary Islands operate the same immigration procedures as Spain.
Note: Spain is a signatory of the 1995 Schengen Agreement.
A passport valid for at least three months beyond the length of stay is required by all except EU nationals (EU & Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and Swiss nationals holding a valid national ID card.
