Canary Islands
Spain
Description
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa. These Volcanic isles are known for their black- and white-sand beaches and great weather most of the year round. Tenerife, the largest island, is dominated by the sometimes-snowy active volcano Mt. Teide, which has its own astronomical observatory and is part of Teide National Park. Tenerife hosts a huge pre-Lent Carnival in the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
