Hi
I know almost nothing about the Canary Islands - just not featured on my list for the past 35 years !!! .....so finding it difficult to narrow down the vast choice available
Looking to get some relaxing warmth and sun immediately after Christmas this year. Looking at historical weather data it seems that he Canary Islands may be the answer
Looking to do SC - ideally a villa on the beach which is good for swimming for 4/6 people - although a heated pool would suffice
Whilst we prefer self catering .... to allow us to sample the local restaurants - we would consider a top quality AI hotel
We are all around 60 so night life is not that important but would want reasonably close access to restaurants and we will consider hiring a car so that we can do a little exploring
Would also want to be able to fly direct from one of the SE England airports - but NOT Stansted !!!
So ....which would be the best island to achieve these aims and then which area on that island
...and any particular recommendations on villas or hotels
Thanks
Mike
