6 reasons why you should spend Christmas in the Canary Islands
When we think about Christmas, we unconsciously think about snowy houses, family dinners and endless days of shopping for presents.
However, there are many ways to experience it. Can you imagine what it would be like to spend Christmas in the Canary Islands? Stop daydreaming and think about some of the advantages we explain below.
Enjoy the Canarian climate
The Canary Islands have an enviable climate. While in other places it pours with rain at Christmas, this archipelago enjoys endless hours of sunshine and stable temperatures.
Spend long days on the wonderful beaches of the Canary Islands and return to your office with an enviable tan. I can’t think of a better way to start the year.
Don’t miss the sand Nativity scene on Las Canteras beach (Gran Canaria)
One of the most typical Christmas traditions is visiting Nativity scenes. One of the most striking in all the islands is the Nativity scene on Las Canteras beach.
It is an enormous sculpture made of sand that attracts the attention of all the tourists who come to see it.
An original way to experience one of the most classic traditions of this time of year.
Great flight connections
Travelling to the Canary Islands at Christmas is quite easy as the flight connections between the islands of the archipelago and mainland Spain and Europe are very good.
There are many schedules available within this offer and, if you book in advance, they are quite affordable.
On the other hand, the flight only lasts three hours, so you do not need many holidays to take a short break and spend Christmas in the Canary Islands.
Start the year swimming in the sea
Far from the superstitions surrounding the beginning of the year, there is nothing that can bring more luck than starting it by swimming in the sea. Do you know why? Because there is no greater fortune than beginning a new stage surrounded by incredible beaches — that in itself is already lucky.
Escape the usual Christmas crowds
This time of year is one of the most overwhelming. Enduring long queues for shopping, social events and family meals is part of the Christmas tradition.
Can you imagine escaping from all of this and taking the opportunity to relax? For many people, that is priceless.
Spending Christmas in the Canary Islands on an all-inclusive basis gives you the opportunity to relax and not have to worry about anything. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
A wide range of tourist options
The Canary Islands are not only about sun and beaches. Their nature, wide cultural offering, rich gastronomy and traditions make the islands a paradise for those who want to explore authentic Canarian heritage.
You can make the most of your Christmas in the Canary Islands by visiting natural spots such as Roque Nublo in Gran Canaria or exploring the different charming villages across all the islands.
