Ideas for Eco-Friendly Travels in the Canary Islands

eco-friendly Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria offers great eco-friendly locations

Situated near the northern coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are as near to paradise as you’re going to get for the environmentally-conscious traveller. Surrounded by the warm waves of the Atlantic Ocean, the Canaries have plenty of sea and beach-based activities that are clean and green for the budget traveller to do. But look a little bit further and you’ll find there’s so much more to the Canaries too!

Making up one of the most popular vacation spots for travellers throughout Europe, Canaries holidays are a perfect budget option for those holiday-makers strapped for cash but still hungry for action.

Whether you opt to spend your time on the large islands of the region, like those of Gran Canaria, El Hierro, Tenerife and Lanzarote, or settle for a low-key eco-friendly tour in one of the area’s small towns, the region has got you covered.
