This Atlantic archipelago of eight exquisite islands are well known to European travellers thanks to their year round sun and soothing temperatures. These volcanic islands, just 100km off the coast of Morocco, are not just all about beach tourism, however. They are bubbling with biodiversity, laden with a love of nature and wide open for exploration and adventure. If you haven’t been before, Canary Islands holidays are simply a revelation to natural adventurers, each offering its own slightly radical but utterly ethereal sides. And many of them are linked by the inter-island long-distance walking trail, the GR131 too.
