Winter Sun in the Canary Islands
Summer may be over in mainland Spain but there are outposts where the season never ends. Such as the Canaries – the seven islands which are situated just off the coast of West Africa, many hundreds of miles south of the Iberian Peninsula. A location that creates a great climate all year round.
Here the holiday season extends for a full twelve months of the year. And despite the recent economic downturn thousands of tourists will be booking holidays in Lanzarote and the Canaries this autumn. As the region remains the second most visited destination in Spain after Catalonia.
Part of the reason for this ongoing popularity is that the Canaries are the closest winter sun destination to key tourist markets such as the UK and Germany. Which are both just four hours flying time away. This winter, flight prices for UK visitors also look set to fall thanks to growing competition on the route between the big guns of the low cost flight world. Which will hopefully help to reduce the price of flights to Lanzarote.
So what can visitors expect from their winter holidays on these volcanic islands? On Lanzarote the temperature usually remains in the early 20´s Celsius – even during the darkest days of December. With very little rainfall and plenty of sunshine hours. The sun doesn’t set here until 6pm at the earliest either. Making it a great destination for those who hate the dark winter afternoons of the UK.
Accommodation standards are high – as the island has been welcoming tourists for over forty years. Choose from chic rural hotels, budget apartments and luxury villas in Lanzarote. With the bulk of holidays now booked direct on online thanks to the growth in internet usage over the last five years.
Due to the increase in tourists needing Lanzarote Holiday Villas is fantastic news for visitors to Lanzarote as property owners need to make sure presentation is up to par, and extras that once had to be paid for are now included as standard
Playa Blanca is the resort to head for if you’re planning a winter break on the island. As thanks to it’s southerly location it enjoys the best weather and most sunshine hours. As well as boasting some of the best beaches on the island. There’s a decent selection of villas in Playa Blanca for holidaymakers to choose from too. With high quality rental properties available in areas such as Rubicon Marina and Costa Papagayo. And with prices starting from around £400 per week for a standard two bedroom villa with pool.
Lanzarote is a great year round holiday island with a good choice of holiday resorts. Follow the links for even more information about villas in Playa Blanca in particular or other Lanzarote villas.
