Canary Islands. Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, includes the
entire mountain, and a trip inside the immense crater is a highlight of a trip to the
Canary Islands.
Beaches of Gran Canaria. The south coast of Gran Canaria is an almost constant
succession of beautiful golden sand beaches. The capital city of Las Palmas has
several excellent beaches, including Playa Las Canteras, with a wide, sandy shore
and gentle waters thanks to a natural breakwater formed by volcanic rock. Part of the
beach is a scuba diving area. La Playa Jinámar is a small beach with a dark-sand
shoreline and moderate waves.

The Beaches of Tenerife. Smaller natural beaches with darker sand dot the entire
shore east of Los Cristianos as far as El Medano. Too windy for comfortable
sunbathing or swimming, El Medano is a world-class surfing beach. Farther west is the
beautiful, small Playa Santiago and Playa de la Arena, protected by rocky headlands
and set below a lush park.
