Canary Islands : Discover
The Canary archipelago is first and foremost a land of festivities, which can easily be discovered via the emblematic Santa Cruz Carnival. It's the world's second-largest carnival, after Rio de Janeiro's, bringing together thousands of people during the month of February. A must if you're there at the right time. But the Canary Islands' festive calendar runs all year round and on all islands, from the fiesta de la Rama in Agaete to the Bajada de la Virgen in Candelaria, not forgetting jazz festivals and the world sailing championship in Fuerteventura. In terms of historical legacy, your stay will also be an opportunity to discover the extraordinary Guanche heritage, which has been classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site in the case of the Risco Caído d'Artenara and the sacred mountains of Gran Canaria. And no trip is complete without a taste of the "bananas" that are omnipresent in the landscape and on our plates.
