Christmas Time in the Canaries

By Catherine McCulloch


Although it might be difficult to envision a warm Christmas by the beach -- without the stereotypical snow and Christmas decor from home. The Canary Islands offer plenty of celebrations and activities to keep you entertained during the holiday season. With plenty of fantastic offers on flights and places to stay, there's no reason not to embark on an exotic escape away this year.

You don't have to be in the UK to enjoy a traditional Christmas meal. Book in Christmas lunch as soon as you arrive or choose a self-catering mytravel deal and snap up a turkey and all the trimmings from your local supermarket.

While in Britain, shops tend to shut on Christmas time, you'll find the Canaries establishments are wide open with plenty available during the holiday seasons. So whether its water sports, shopping or day excursions that you fancy, you'll be able to spend your December 25 in the sun.

It's only right that if you are celebrating Christmas in Spain, you should enjoy some of their festive traditions. Depending on which island you are visiting, you can expect huge firework displays, carnivals and if you are still around come January 6th, you can enjoy the Three King processions which celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings in Bethlehem.

So whatever you fancy, Christmas in the Canary Islands gives you that breath of fresh air away from the stresses and winter madness of home. It's also a great excuse to top up on your tan and give yourself a break on the beach before getting back to the everyday stresses of life.
