Canary Islands Christmas Celebration from Southampton – Queen Anne – 21 December 2025
Canary Islands Christmas Celebration from Southampton – Queen Anne – 21 December 2025. Most visitors to the Canary Islands, the archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Spain. Lured by the 600 miles of coastline and more than 500 beaches, yet there’s so much more. Beyond the loud holiday resorts and buzzing nightlife lie wild forests, volcanic craters, bizarre lunar landscapes, and ancient towns. These exotic islands certainly have the capacity to surprise.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
This is the main port on the island. Sights include the Museum of Man and Nature, which records the evolution of the Canary Islands to the present day, and there’s a contemporary art gallery, Espacio de las Artes. The baroque church Iglesia de la Concepcion contains a wooden cross dating back to the time of the Spanish conquistadors. The town’s name derives from this relic. Santa Cruz also has gorgeous botanic gardens bursting with endemic flowers and shrubs. Tenerife’s main tourist attraction is Teide National Park in the island’s centre. This is where parts of Star Wars and Planet of the Apes were filmed. El Teide is Spain’s highest mountain — a perfect conical volcano at 12,198 feet high. If you’re feeling energetic, climb to the top, or you can jump in a cable car to whisk you up there.
