THE CANARIES ARE A SPANISH ARCHIPELAGO off the northwestern coast of Africa. Under 100 miles from the Western Sahara and close to the equator, the climate here is more arid than tropical and stays in a spring-like time warp all year long. Between the 7 islands, there are over 500 beaches, any of which I’d rather be thawing out on rather than sitting huddled next to my heater here in the Sierra.
Despite it being one of Europe’s top tourist destinations (as evidenced by the swarms of timeshare pushers), there are at least 25 good reasons a trip to the Canary Islands is worth planning.
