Title: canaries in winter ? Post by: lazaroonie on November 30, 2009, 10:18:56 PM anybody been to the canaries in january ?
looking to get away for some sunshine after christmas, but debating where to go. only can manage to get away for a week, so although caribbean sounds lovely, the inevitable jetlag seems like a pain in the arse for a weeks holiday. various weather sites suggest average temperature of about 20 C, which seems ok, if a little on the low side of what we are looking for. really just looking for anyones real life experiences, or if they have an alternative suggestion, then lets hear it...

Yes - but don't go if you are a beach lover, not only is it not the greatest sand but as soon as that wind blows off the sea you are covered in sand that sticks to your recently sun creamed body - yuck!

Post by: Simon Galloway on December 01, 2009, 11:20:44 AM I have used http://www.lanzluxuryvillas.com/ (http://www.lanzluxuryvillas.com/) many times for winter sun. Low 20s, still pretty pleasant. If the wind is low, no problems lying around. When the wind picks up, once you get out the pool you won't want to hang around outside. The pools are heated, the villas are very well kitted out and sensibly priced.
Playa Blanca prolly the best resort, rent a car. £1k gets you this: (http://www.lanzluxuryvillas.com/images/property/large/299_1.jpg) £500 gets you this: (http://www.lanzluxuryvillas.com/images/property/large/141_2.jpg) (http://www.lanzluxuryvillas.com/images/property/large/141_4.jpg) Title: Re: canaries in winter ?

Post by: mickyp on December 01, 2009, 05:26:26 PM My mate and his mrs go to Tenerife every new year and its definately warm enough then for lounging by the pool. I've been going in march for the past 5 years and my mrs says its warm .I sometimes pop out of the pub and it seems pleasant enough to me.
