Canary Islands Honeymoon in the Canaries!!!!
Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 08:13 AM UTC
Hi All!

I had never heard of the Canary Islands before but now I am planning to spend my honeymoon there. Me and my fiance are getting married in October and will be going on our honeymoon in December during the Christmas holidays. And as she wants to go to a beach, I came to know that The Canaries will be the best during that time of the year in Europe.

Now here are my questions:

1) Which of the islands have the best beaches?
2) Can I hop from island to island, and if so, then how?
3) All the islands have atleast one airport. But do international flights go to all of them or only to some of them?
4) What will be a realistic budget for a honeymoon in the Canaries for 5 days???

Any inputs will be of great help as I dont know anything about these islands.

Thanks!

Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 05:35 PM UTC
I am a single traveler on a tight budget. Can anyone advise me on the cheapest way to get from the south airport to Playa de las Americas or Costa adeje. For example, is there a public bus service from airport to bus station in Playa de las americas or some kind of shuttle bus? How much would a taxi cost? I will have one suitcase and hand luggage and it wiil be midday when I arrive.
Thank you in advance. Graham

Canary Islands Staying a semester in Las Palmas.
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 09:10 PM UTC
Hello, fellow VT-ers,
One of my daughters will study a semester at the ULPGC (Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria) in Spanish language and literature (in Erasmus students exchange with Pau University).
I am wondering if flat or house sharing is a current practice in Las Palmas and asking where (websites, agents, virtual or real notice boards. . . ) she should begin her search for an accommodation; no luxury (!!), just what fits to average students.
Thanks for your information, Hermann.

Isla de Gran Canaria Parking on a day visit to Las Palmas
Posted: Sat March 14, 2009 10:33 PM UTC
Can you tell me where is the best place to park for a day's visit to Las Palmas is please? Or maybe it is better to park away from the centre and get a bus in. I am going in August. We went on a tour coach trip round the island last year and stopped on the outskirts of the city in the shopping centre where Carre Foure? is - but l think you can only park for a short time there and we would like to go to the beach and round the 'real centre' of the city.

Isla de Tenerife Normal taxi prices
Posted: Sat February 21, 2009 09:30 AM UTC
Hi there!

I'm browsing Internet to compare taxi costs.

How much is the cost for "normal" trip with taxi (not airport transfer). I have read that the price in airport transfers is significantly higher.

Some pages say that normally the km-rate should be 0.40-0.50 €. Is this true?

Has anyone ever traveled with taxi from Costa Adeje to El Teide (cable car)? How much was it?

Thanks for your help!


Yours,

Antti

I am hoping to go to the Canary Islands and do some hiking on Tenerife and La Palma. I am mostly concerned about personal safety issues(crime, etc.) of traveling alone there. I am pretty aware of normal safety issues about hiking alone.

Any experience people are willing to Share?

Hi, I'm trying to find somewhere pleasant to go for one week, in the Canary Islands, with my Mother. Hoping to find reasonably priced self catering accomodation, near a sandy beach. Would prefer not to be in or close to a large resort, but a little 'life' would be appreciated. Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks,

Isla de Gran Canaria The impossible...a quiet beach in the south?
Posted: Tue February 3, 2009 03:49 PM UTC
Hi,

Does anyone know of a quiet beach in the South West of the island? I really don't want to visit the main resorts and have heard that there are a few quiet beaches that can be found although a bit of a hike may be necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Isla de Gran Canaria Driving in Gran Canaria
Posted: Tue February 3, 2009 09:36 AM UTC
Hi, I am taking my family to Gran Canaria (never been there before) for a week and I am considering renting a car, for 2 reasons, we will be able to drive around and see a bit more of the island, and we will be able to get a child seat for our son. Which I am told is not possible on the busses of the tour operator. I was wondering if anybody who has experience with the traffic on the island could share some of them :)

I am wondering about some of the following things:
- Is there a lot of traffic on Gran Canaria? Or hazardious driving?
- Are the roads well marked? on arrival I will have to make my way from Las Palmas to Arguineguin. Then later we are consideing maybe doing a full circle around the island.
- Are there any special traffic rules, thing that differ from other countries, that I need to be aware of? I have read about the rule about no talking on the cellphone while driving, but that one is starting to become more and more normal in other countries also by now.
- Any other tips is also greatly appreciated :)

Canary Islands Where to start?
Posted: Fri January 23, 2009 06:15 PM UTC
My girlfriend and I are hoping to go to the Canary Islands in the end of Feb/beginning of March. We found cheap flights to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, and are interested in seeing the cool little parts of the Islands, instead of staying on a resort. Any ideas as to which we should fly into, where we should go from there for the majority of our 5 days, etc? Also, roughly how much do ferries/flgihts cost from the bigger islands to La Gomera and El Hierro?
Thanks in advance!
