La Palma

La Palma is also known as La Isla Bonita and is the most north westerly of the Canary Islands 137miles away from Tenerife with La Gomera in between. La Palma is the fifth largest of the eight Canary Islands.

The island features the second highest peak in the Canaries at 2,426 metres and the Cumbre Vieja volcano which last erupted in 2021 lasting for 85 days – it is currently dormant which makes for very interesting and recently changed landscape to see what impact this has made on the island and to its inhabitants.

Santa Cruz (Tenerife)

The capital of the island and gateway to Mount Teide or Puerto De La Cruz with popular Loro Park or the magnificent Lido pools.

Las Palmas (Gran Canaria)

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the vibrant capital of the Canary Islands, is a city where golden beaches meet centuries of history. Nestled on the northeast coast of Gran Canaria, it offers visitors the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty. Stroll through the charming cobbled streets of Vegueta, the historic old town, soak up the sun at the famous Las Canteras beach, or savor fresh seafood overlooking the Atlantic. With its year-round mild climate, lively festivals, and welcoming atmosphere, Las Palmas is a destination that captures both the heart and the senses.

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura lays claim to having the best beaches not just in Spain but in Europe. Long stretches of spectacular golden sand sloping down to a rippling turquoise sea is the norm here. In contrast to the bar-lined promenades that typify other Canaries, many of the island’s 152 beaches are within protected areas or flanked by dunes.

Particular gems include those around Corralejo in the north, Sotavento, Costa Calma and Cofete in the south and the centrally located Caleta de Fuste. Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands at 62 miles long by 19 miles wide. The island is located 60 miles away from the coast of North Africa. The island lies 199 miles east of Tenerife with Gran Canaria in between.

Cadiz

Cadiz stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay and is almost entirely surrounded by water. The Phoencians founded Cadiz as a trading post in 1100 BC and it became a thriving Roman port. It sank into oblivion under the Moors but attained great prominence in the early 16th century as a launching point for the journey to the new world in America. Cadiz was also raided by Sir Francis Drake and managed to withstand a siege by Napoleon's army. Cadiz is situated just 99km away from Seville which is the epicentre of Moorish architecture and history. With UNESCO classing a complex of three buildings in Seville as a World Heritage Site - namely the Cathedral, Alcazar Palace, and Archive of the Indies - it's no wonder that cruisers flock to Seville from Cadiz.

Vigo

Vigo is the main Port of Spain's Galicia region and is famous for its seafood. Explore the old town with it winding narrow tree-lined streets and squares.
