What to see on a MSC Canary Islands Cruise

The Canary Islands are an autonomous community of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the north western coast of Africa. Altogether this archipelago consists of seven main islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro, as well as several smaller islands and islets.

The Canary Islands are renowned for their stunning natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and year-round mild climate, making them a popular tourist destination. Here are some highlights of the Canary Islands:

Volcanic Landscapes

The Canary Islands were formed by volcanic activity, resulting in unique landscapes characterized by dramatic cliffs, rugged mountains, and volcanic craters. Visitors can explore volcanic national parks, such as Teide National Park on Tenerife, home to Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak.

Beaches

This beautiful archipelago boasts an abundance of beautiful beaches with golden or black sand, crystal-clear waters, and excellent conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Popular beach destinations include Playa de las Teresitas in Tenerife, Playa de Maspalomas in Gran Canaria, and Playa de Corralejo in Fuerteventura.

Outdoor Activities

The islands offer a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, snorkelling, and scuba diving. Nature lovers can explore lush forests, volcanic trails, and coastal paths, while adventure enthusiasts can enjoy adrenaline-pumping experiences in the mountains or on the water.

Cultural Heritage

The Canary Islands have a rich cultural heritage influenced by Spanish, African, and indigenous Guanche traditions. Visitors can explore charming towns and villages with historic architecture, archaeological sites, museums, and cultural events showcasing traditional music, dance, and cuisine.

Gastronomy

The Canary Islands are known for their delicious cuisine, featuring fresh seafood, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and traditional dishes. Try the tasty papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), mojo sauce, and gofio (toasted cornmeal). By all means, you can also sample authentic Canarian cuisine at local restaurants and tapas bars!
