They are among the most popular holiday destinations for Germans in winter - and are no longer a risk area.

We're talking about ...

Vacation in the Canary Islands: Fuerteventura?

Gran Canaria?

Or would you prefer El Hierro?

The Canaries are known as the islands of eternal spring.

They have a lot in common, for example the mild climate.

But there are differences in a number of points.

Which of the seven islands is best for which type of

vacation

?

This question arises all the more

now

that the

Canary Islands are no longer a risk area

- the travel warning is

no longer

applicable.

The archipelago could be one of the few, warmer winter destinations for German vacationers.

Vacation in the Canary Islands - Fuerteventura: White beaches and a lot of wind

Endless sandy beaches are probably the first thing you think of when you

think of

Fuerteventura

.

In the north it is the dune beaches around the main town Corralejo, which has a pleasant flair.

In the south of the island * - whether on the Costa Calma, near Jandia or Esquinzo - there is no such thing.

There, holidaymakers often spend their holidays in their hotels all the time.

While the beaches of most of the other Canary Islands have black sand, Fuerteventura scores with its white sand for many holidaymakers.

The longest beach in the whole of the Canary Islands is the Cofete at 14 kilometers.

The beach is only partially suitable for swimming.

Fuerteventura is a very elongated island, from the northernmost to the southernmost point it is almost 100 kilometers.

Small minus point for vacationers who have booked a hotel in the south: the airport is more in the north of the island.

The transfer by bus takes a long time.

The

temperatures on Fuerteventura

are seldom below 20 and almost never above 30 degrees all year round.

The strong wind can be a bit uncomfortable, which in turn offers ideal conditions for all kite and windsurfers.

It is not for nothing that Fuerteventura is considered a surf hotspot.

Vacation in the Canary Islands - Lanzarote: The island for couples

Lanzarote

is the smallest of the four large

Canary Islands

.

In addition to lava landscapes, there are many places for swimming, but there is also a lot on offer for active vacationers and culture enthusiasts.

The latter come mainly because of the artist César Manrique, who left a lot of traces.

Accordingly, the audience is a little different than, for example, on Fuerteventura.

There are families too, but the focus is more on couples.

The price level is also somewhat higher than on the mass islands.

In addition, the flight connection is not that good.

The island is especially popular with Spaniards.

Vacation in the Canaries - Tenerife: Beach vacation and a mighty volcano

Tenerife

is the largest of the

Canary Islands

and is also considered by many to be the most varied.

Basically, the island is divided into two parts: north and south.

This can be seen, for example, in the climate, the landscape, but also in the audience.

In the south, classic beach holidays are particularly popular.

In the much greener north there are hardly any sandy beaches, where hiking is popular.

In addition to hiking and sunbathing, Tenerife offers a lot more, such as Santa Cruz, an exciting capital and golf courses.

The island is dominated by Teide, Spain's highest mountain.

For many, it alone is a reason to come to the island - the national park around the mountain is good for hiking.

Getting to Tenerife is easy.

The island has two airports, with almost all international flights going to the airport in the south.

The road to the north is well developed.

Vacation in the Canaries - Gran Canaria: The family island

Gran Canaria is the most popular Canary Island among

holidaymakers from Germany

.

Similar to Tenerife, Gran Canaria is also divided into north and south.

The north is cooler and more humid, but also has a larger vegetation.

The south is drier, warmer and sunnier.

German holidaymakers are clearly drawn to the south, because of the beaches there, especially at Maspalomas.

Thanks to numerous apartments, the south of the island is particularly popular with families.

The island also attracts a young party crowd, and gays and lesbians have been coming here for holidays for years.

The north is usually only used for an excursion - for example to the island's capital Las Palmas.

There is a lot of nature in the interior of the island, including 33 nature reserves.

Vacation in the Canary Islands - La Palma: hiking pleasure away from the crowds

If you don't feel like mass tourism and don't want to lie on the beach all the time, come to 

La Palma

.

Hikers love La Palma.

There are only a few larger hotels and accommodation is mostly in small complexes.

One tip is the observatory at Roque de los Muchachos.

Due to the clear air and the stable weather, the stars can be observed particularly well from here.

Vacation in the Canaries - La Gomera: Tenerife's small neighboring island

Unlike La Palma,

Gomera

does not have an international airport.

However, the island benefits from its proximity to Tenerife.

Boats leave from there.

Therefore, some vacationers book a combination of the two islands.

La Gomera has great golf courses.

Holidays in the Canary Islands - El Hierro: For dropouts on time

El Hierro is the smallest and most pristine of the Canary Islands

- and certainly also the most special.

Let your mind wander and wander: That works well on El Hierro.

In contrast to La Palma, the mountains are much lower.

Divers also get their money's worth on El Hierro.
