Surprise Him or Her with a One Off Trip to the Canary Islands this Valentines Day

In a wooden ship headed towards South America to look for gold, Christopher Columbus and his crew saw and experienced some of the most unusual sights. When approaching the Canary Islands there appeared to be packs of large sea dogs swimming around in the waters from which the seven islands arose. During this stopover on the islands, he and his men refreshed their supplies and rested for a while before proceeding on their journey. In the 1400's, their accommodation and meals would probably have been scraggy and scarce to say the least.

Over time the islands gained more inhabitants mainly from Europe and things certainly got better. A large number of hospitality groups have set up hotels and resorts all over the islands, attracting more than 12 million tourists a year. You could be one of these 12 million and counting if you are searching for a different kind of adventure.

Is it a venue to host a destination wedding? Or perhaps a place to really laze around in the sun after a long exhausting wedding planning year? Maybe you want to surprise either him or her this Valentines Day with a special one of a kind tour to the Canary Islands. Blue Bay Lanzarote is offering all visitors who book before 28th February 2024 20% off accommodation and meals in its early booking offer.

Before dashing off and making hotel and holiday bookings, it is always wise to first know where you are going and what to expect when you get there. The Canary Islands is situated about 100 kilometres off the coast of Morocco in North Africa. The seven main islands of Tenerife, Fuertventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hiarro make up this tiny country governed by Spain. Lanzarote is the eastern most of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean about 125 kilometres off the coast of North Africa

Summers are warm and the winters can be described as being tropical. Whilst here, the discerning visitor hardly feels the cold, icy winds blowing through Europe in the winter. This is perhaps one of the reasons the Canary Islands attracts so many visitors per year. The Blue Bay Lanzarote Resort describes itself as a hotel/apartment. When one hears the word apartment, one gets the idea of some kind of freedom like being able to prepare your own meals and wash your own laundry which is really fun while on vacation. You can choose from either one or two bedroom apartments.

Expect to enjoy traditional Spanish cuisine while holidaying on The Canary Island. Popular dishes here include Papas con Mojo Picon, Cocido Canario and Roasted Cheese with Mojo. Also expect to eat plenty of fresh vegetable salad full of red, ripe tomatoes along with your Spanish omelette!

One of the main activities enjoyed by visitors to the islands are the water sports. Do you fancy going deep sea diving? The islands are not called the fortune islands for nothing. You may just be the lucky one to find gold in one of the sunken ships! Alternatively, you may be a couple who love the outdoor life. Explore the surrounding islands and islets in a hiking and boating expedition with one of the guides. Make sure you visit one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as San Cristobal de La Laguna, a city and municipality in the northern part of the island of Tenerife in the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The Blue Bay Lanzarote Resort offers transfer services from the airport to the resort and from the resort to the airport. To make your booking, simply visit our BOOK A RESORT, EUROPE page and follow the link to book online.
