Canary Islands and Cape Verde

hy Go?

For the near-perfect climate. There are few guarantees in life. But lovely weather is pretty close to a sure bet

in the Canary Islands. The archipelago off the coast of North Africa is a year-round draw for sun-lovers. Beaches are

diverse — from the white Sahara-soft sands of Fuerteventura to black volcanic coves on Lanzarote to Tenerife’s made-

to-order golden crescents. But there’s more than sun and sand. Volcanic terrain is a hiker’s dream, island cities are

cosmopolitan and cultured, and whitewashed villages have their own architectural style — including ornate wooden

balconies.

“Be sure to go to Puerto de Mogán [on Gran Canaria]. [It’s] ‘Little Venice’ — quaint, breathtaking ... you’ll want to move there.

Also, be sure to visit Camel Safari Park ... you’ll ride camels and have a blast ... near the village of Fataga.”
