Canary Islands
Hospitality Industry
Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Canary Islands area.
The Canary Islands, also known as “The Fortunate Isles,” from west to east are comprised of the islands of El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Plato, Herodotus and Homer all wrote about these islands in Utopian terms, characterizing them as what remained of the continent of Atlantis. Around the time of Columbus, during Spanish colonization, the Canary Islands were the first to develop a plantation economy that would spread westward to the Caribbean and the Americas, and many place names remain from the pre-Spanish Guanche culture. Every type of climate and terrain may be found in the Canary Islands, from snow-covered mountain peaks on the central island of Tenerife to deserts of volcanic rock and ash on the eastern islands, to the sand dunes on the southernmost islands, to the northernmost rain forests. Upscale resorts are found mostly in the coastal areas, sharing the beachfront with crafts booths and fruit stands, while the smaller cottages inland offer the best bargains and experience with the natural beauty of the Canary Islands as it has been for generations.
