Andalucia

Spain’s climate is diverse but in Andalucia it is predominantly warm, dry and sunny, especially from April to October, with up to 12 hours of sunshine a day throughout the height of summer. The people are friendly, the food is excellent and there are plenty of things to see and do. Despite some modernising, the region of Andalucia remains spirited and passionate and over 20% of the land is natural or national parks, meaning that the beautiful scenery and indigenous wildlife is protected. Expect to see white villages perched spectacularly atop a craggy mountain, local fiestas, ancient mosques, agriculturally-dependent villages and perhaps even an ibex. The region has some splendid golf courses, beautiful coastline and a marvellous climate: any one of our featured hotels will give you a great taste of Andalucia.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands, located off the northwestern coast of Africa, are a Spanish archipelago renowned for their diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and year-round pleasant climate. The islands are a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts; Tenerife, the largest island, is home to Spain’s tallest peak, Mount Teide, and offers opportunities for hiking, stargazing and more, while Lanzarote’s volcanic terrain and unique vineyards provide a moon-like experience. Gran Canaria, on the other hand, is loved for its stunning beaches and lush mountainous interior. Each island boasts unique biodiversity, making the archipelago a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Canarian culture is a blend of Spanish, African, and indigenous Guanche traditions, reflected in its music, food, and local festivals.
