In 2024, nearly 6.3 million British tourists traveled to the Canary Islands.
This barely surprised.
From Tenerife Parties to Vanzarote volcanic Lanzarote, the Atlantic Archipelago has a lot for its progress.
But where should you go to the path? Which island has the most friendly people? What is the area that you want to leave your bulldozer menu?
Here to answer all these questions and more is Maric Bron, travel expert in Eindy travelerWho spent three months exploring the islands and visited everything except Herro.
The most volatile island
Maric, from Holland But now he lives in Lisbon, and reveals that one of his favorite island is off the tourist path that has been tested.
“I love the authentic places that are a little more quieter and that’s why I really love La Gomera. It is definitely a really beautiful hidden jewel,” he says.
Marik Bron, traveling expert at Indi Traveller, spent three months in exploring the islands and visited everything except Herro. The most reduced and one of its favorite islands is La Gomra, where it was photographed above
La Gomera (in the image above) is the second most severe Canary Island
Marik says La Gomra is “definitely the most disregard and a truly beautiful hidden jewel.” He is a photographer there above
La Gomera is the second harshest chain of the island and is located off the coast of Tennervi.
“It is somewhat madness how long is La Gomera near the most tourist part of the Canary Islands, which is located south of Tenerife,” says Marik. “It takes just a short journey to reach La Gomera, but because there are very little flat land on the island, it prevents the construction of big cities there.
“So, of course, it means that it is a smaller scale and has a very dramatic scene. I liked to stay in the B&B’s there and explore the island by renting the car. It has these very lush forests that you feel rain forests and are amazing for long -distance walking.
La Gomera is the most forest in the Canary Islands and even has a UNESCO World Heritage site, Garragonay National Park. Garajonay has primitive laurel trees and many semi -tropical plants.
The best island of stars
Another favorite Canary island Maric is La Palma. The island that suffered The volcanic explosion in 2021He is the fifth largest canary.
“Walking long distances there is great, and perhaps the best in all islands and is a dark reserve of the sky,” says travel expert.
My fiancée and I have gone on a small tour of the universe there, running an astronomer. You can get these wonderful stellar nights and there are specific spots where you can go and watch the stars. It is an incredibly beautiful island.

The most surprising island
Gran Canaria is one of the most Canary archipelago, where most tourists travel there to enjoy the beaches.
But Marik reveals that moving away from beaches and internal wandering is a way to see an unexpected aspect of the island.
“There are these wonderful mountainous cities where the air is slightly cooler and you will get these beautiful mountain ranges where you can see the next sun,” says The Travel Pro.
“Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital of the island, also has some amazing historical buildings and is a beautiful place to go out and eat.”
The destination to avoid
“Every island has something that you offer,” Marik says, but it admits that its preferred canary is Tenerife.
He explains: “It is the most visited of the islands so that the southern Tenireva is very marketed.
Marik says south of Tennervi is “very commercial.” In the image above is Playa de Las America, in the south of the island
“It is great to spend a vacation, but I felt it was the lowest interesting area. The roads were very busy, which made the stressful driving there.
Tenerife has amazing views but in some urban areas, they were very randomly developed. You will get a low area of buildings, then suddenly there will be a group of high apartments in the middle. Do not go with the surrounding things. You often feel very upset in parts of Tenervi because it is very built.
The island with the most friendly people
La Gomera wins again to the travel expert.
“I particularly remember people there,” Marek reveals. The people we met in stores and restaurants were a little more quieter and had more time for us [than on the busier islands].
“They were interested in how our day appeared and made it really good to be there.”
While Marik says he has never faced non -friendly people in Canary though Anti -tourism protestsHe explains that life “felt more impulsive” in Tenervy.
He says: “There are many beautiful views there and you had to fight a little to get a place to stop your car. People were fighting strongly for one spot that left.
Marik says that Las Palace de Gran Canaria, the capital of Gran Canaria, has incredible historical buildings.
Marik, who also loves the natural beauty of the island, says La Gomera has the most friendly people. In the picture above is the Garajonay National Park in La Jumira
The best time to go to Canary
Marik explains that winter is definitely “the best time” to visit Canary.
“There are not many places in Europe during the winter, where you can get a spring -like weather and get a cold break as in Canary,” it reveals. The climate is perfect during that time. Summer is also beautiful, but there are many options to go in the summer.
