All the seven islands together create one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The seven islands- Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and Fuerteventura, form an autonomous community of Spain. The islands receive over ten million tourists a year mainly due to the perfect weather, the beaches and the stunning beauty of the nature here.

There are eight airports on the islands and they are well connected with mainland Spain and other major destinations.

The unspoiled beaches surrounded by the cool, clear waters of the Atlantic are a delight to tourists and locals alike. |
