The Canary Islands is a must-see destination that you have to visit once in your life. Many people fall in love with this land of enviable temperatures in both summer and winter, its small fairytale villages and cosmopolitan cities; the white or black sandy beaches perfect for disconnecting and the lush mountains that guard its people. Today we are going to recommend eight places in the Canary Islands that you cannot miss.

1. Morro Jable, Fuerteventura

   If you are going to the blonde island, Fuerteventura, get your swimming costume ready because your main plan will be to go to the beach. A simple drive from Corralejo to Puerto del Rosario can be the ideal road to make stops at the beaches. We recommend you go to Morro Jable, that old fishing village in the south of the island, in the municipality of Pájara. At first glance it may seem more touristy, but when you reach the avenue and see the almost white beach with no waves, you realise that there is something special about it. In addition, in the evenings there is a great gastronomic offer in the bars of the area, while you enjoy good music.

2. Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

    If you feel like shopping and enjoying some cultural or leisure activities, your option is to go to Las Palmas, in Gran Canaria. With a wide range of theatres, concerts, good restaurants and bars, great shops and boutiques; as well as the old town of Vegueta that anyone can fall in love with or an afternoon in Triana that can be the best option to end the day. If you want to go for a swim at the beach you can also go to Las Canteras, and right next door you have the Alfredo Kraus auditorium so you won't miss the chance to enjoy a cultural event.

3. Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera

    If you are looking for a total disconnection from work and everyday life, your option is to take a trip to La Gomera. The "Columbian" island is very small and mountainous, so relax and enjoy the road until you reach Valle Gran Rey, the most touristic area of the island. There you will find various accommodation options, as well as a beautiful avenue to stroll along. Don't leave La Gomera without taking a walk along one of the dozens of trails on the island.

4. La Laguna, Tenerife

    Have you ever been to a World Heritage City? If your answer is no, you have to go to Tenerife. San Cristobal de La Laguna is a beautiful, welcoming town very close to Santa Cruz. Its stately houses and cobbled streets make it a magical place. The cold here is one of the main characters, so if you go in winter don't leave your coat on and take the opportunity to have a coffee in one of its many cafés. The streets are also full of life due to the many students who live there, and if you walk along the pedestrian streets, you'll be able to enjoy a concert while you do some shopping.

5. Santa Cruz de la Palma

    What is it about Santa Cruz that makes everyone fall in love with it? The "Isla Bonita" has many corners that make it a magical place, one of them being its capital, Santa Cruz. A small, friendly and welcoming city whose streets transport you back to centuries gone by. If you have the chance, make your visit coincide with the Indianos festival, in the middle of Carnival, and you will see how the streets are filled with talcum powder and people dressed in white, simulating those emigrants returning from Cuba. Don't get lost if you see "Negra Tomasa" and do some salsa dancing.

6. The Garoé tree, El Hierro

   As soon as you set foot in Los Cangrejos airport on El Hierro, you know that something has changed. The clock stops and peace reigns throughout the island of El Meridiano. The voice of the folklorist Valentina la de Sabinosa, still echoes in the mountains and silence is the protagonist of all visits. El Hierro is full of hidden natural pools where you can take a dip, we recommend "El Charco Azul", in Frontera. But don't leave the island without visiting the Garoré tree. The story goes that thanks to this tree the Herreños used to get water in times of drought. And we don't doubt it. The area where the Garoé tree is located is full of vegetation and you only have to sit on its lap to see how the drops of water fall from its leaves. An unrepeatable experience.

7. Famara, Lanzarote

   For water sports lovers, the choice is Famara beach; if what you like is to pick up a book and spend hours on a beach treasured by the imposing cliff and overlooking La Graciosa, your choice is Famara beach; if you go with children and want them to have plenty of space to play ball, make castles, and other games without disturbing others, your choice is Famara beach. Whichever way you look at it, Famara is always the best option. A completely unspoilt beach in the municipality of Teguise that is protected by Unesco. If you go to Lanzarote it's a must-see, and don't forget to take a photo!

8. La Graciosa

    La Octava Isla, is that small inhabited islet, the goal of those in love with the sea and the sun. A small fishing village that with the passage of time, despite its growth, still maintains its essence. White sands and crystal clear waters are the true picture of this small island. You can get around by bike or jeep. Spend a day on the beach of La Concha and take a breath of fresh air while overlooking Alegranza and Montaña Clara. And for lunch, a good fish is the meal of choice.
