- San Sebastian de La Gomera... uncover this vibrant city as you wander through its winding streets. Unwind at one of its many pavement cafes, or step inside peaceful churches. You can admire historical sights such as the Well of Aguada.
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife... this island is rich in biodiversity and natural beauty. According to Lonely Planet, it is the "striking grande dame" of the Canaries.
- Arrecife, Lanzarote... home to beautiful sun-bleached buildings and a Mediterranean-style promenade. Visit the 16th-century Castillo San Gabriel or marvel at contemporary artworks
