At the end of the 3 months we want to take a sde-trip to finish off. One of the places under consideration is the Canary Islands. Are the Canary Islands considered a part of Spain for Passport/Visa? |

Hi
Think you will find the Canaries come under the Schengen agreement the same as Spain and most of the EU....... so think you would have a problem.... Why not nip over there during you stay... no worries then... enjoy the warm climate for a few days..... |

Thank you Goatherd.
WE are now considering a week in late Feb. or early Mar. Anyone have any reccomendations as to an "all-inclusive" resort? Also reccomendations as to which Island is best suited to an older couple (early 70's) looking for relaxation but near enough to town (or in town) for walk-abouts? |

Tenerife is probably the most popular for a winter break, having an excellent climate and less windy than the other islands with Las Americas being the busiest tourist area and Las Palmas on Gran Canaria being the capital city of the island group.
Would suggest that you research on the internet which would suit you best. There is a very interesting trip to the Teide national park on Tenerife where you can take a lift to the top of the volcano. Official Canary Islands Tourism- The Canaries holidays, travel to , weather in , climate, hotels, bungalows, accommodations, sun, maps, apartments Take a look here and you will find all the information you want. Good luck. |

tenerife would be good for you, have a look at los christianos very nice at that time of the year and some nice walks along the front. the public transport is very good you can get around the whole island at good prices.

We have booked the week of February 14 - 21 at the Barcelo Margaritas in Gran Canaria.
Any "must do's" or "don't miss" while we are there? |

Vist Maspalomas beach. One of the best beaches in Europe. Also Peurto Mogan is a very pretty little Marina. Lots of boat trips etc. Bubbles resturant in the commercial centre in Peurto Rico for good seafood. Will try to think of some others
