Spain and the Balearics
The Spanish seaboard is over 4,000 kilometres long, washed by the waters
of the Mediterranean sea (on the eastern and southern flanks), the bay
of Biscay (to the north) and the atlantic ocean (along the west and
south). Spain has more than three hundred days of sunshine per year,
average temperatures being 18° C - 30° C (64° F - 86° F).
BALEARICS The Balearic Isles,
surrounded by the clear waters of the Mediterranean have a series of
beautiful cliffs, secluded coves and protected beaches when sun-lovers
can come and worship. The Isles also provide a wide range of leisure
entertainments when looking for a break from the sun.
CANARIES
The Canary Islands, volcanic in origin, are situated over 1,000 kilometres
from the Iberian Peninsula, off the coast of North Africa. They have
an exceptional year-round climate with superb beaches where you can
enjoy the sun, sea and beaches at any time of the year. Popular resorts
include the town of Puerto de la Cruz, in the south of Tenerife and
Puerto Del Carmen in Lanzarote. The spectacular, rolling sand dunes
of Maspalomas in Gran Canaria are a must see for any beach lover.
