When it comes to sunshine, the Canary Islands are caught in a kind ofweather warp, with an eternal spring-summer climate. They’re a year-round destination; you can pretty much take your pick of when to go.The winter months – December to March – are a tad cooler but stillparadise compared to mainland Europe, the UK and most of North America. This makes winter the islands’ busiest period. The summer months –July to September – are a rival high season, mainly because that’s whenmainland Spaniards elect to go on their annual holiday. The Carnavalseason (February/March) is an intensely popular period, when anyone and everyone decides to partake in the fun.For maximum value on airfares and accommodation, the best periods are from November to mid-December and, better still, April to June (with the notable exception of the Easter rush).The latter especially is a great time to be around.
