The Canary Islands are Spain's largest archipelago

The Canary Islands are Spain's largest archipelago and are located 100km off the northwest coast of Africa west of Morocco. The Canaries have great natural attractions, climate and beaches making the islands a major tourist destination, being visited each year by about 12 million people. Among the islands, Tenerife has the most number of tourists received annually, followed by Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. Tenerife's main tourist attraction is the Teide National Park where the highest mountain in Spain and third largest volcano in the world (Mount Teide) is located.

Tenerife is a great place to practice Spanish, as the locals speak with a very clear pronunciation. Don't forget to take your learn Spanish DVD with you.
