Christmas in the Canaries

Weather not always guaranteed particularly now with the climate emergency.  Canaries have had floods in winter.  We went in March and it was decidedly cool.

The weather has been very changeable, we went in May and it was overcast and cool. 

July this year was overcast until 1-2pm and then was very hot up until 7-8pm. 

For the OP, have you considered a cruise? My friend went and said it was lovely for children, carol services, and lots of activities for the children, I'm sure she said there were gifts for the children too

Christmas is very popular in the Canaries so flights and accommodation is expensive and gets booked up early. Mainland Spain is cheaper but the weather won't be so good. 

Personally, I don't think the the cost is worth it. Also, I prefer to book self catering apartments in Tenerife or Lanzarote as you get more space and privacy than hotels and there are countless places to eat out.

Thanks for the information and advice.  I've seen some lovely holidays in Morocco when I was looking last night so wondering if I can convince the other half to go there.
