Self-Guided Walking Escapes in the Canaries

Combining diverse landscape with a perfect year-round climate that is never too hot and never too cold, the Canary Islands are something of a walker’s paradise. Located off the north-east coast of Africa but forming part of Spain, these volcanic islands are home to a landscape and ecosystem so varied that in one day you can be hiking volcanoes, manoeuvring your way through cloud forest, crossing alpine meadows or exploring pristine beaches.

Celtic Trails offers a number of walking holidays across the islands, each offering something a little different. Those seeking to balance challenging walking with cultural towns can find their ideal break in Tenerife, whilst those after something a little more remote should head to the islands of La Palma and La Gomera, both of which offer opportunities to explore lands hardly touched by man.

"As usual, our adventure with Celtic Walks was wonderful!! The places we stayed, the taxi service, the trails were beautiful!! WE liked all the information that was sent to us so we felt secure about leading ourselves each day. The places that we stayed when we got through a long day of hiking were small and peaceful with very nice people to greet you."

"We absolutely loved our walking tour of the Rota, and our experience with Celtic Trails Walking Holidays. The team at Celtic were always very helpful even though we were booking from Canada. I would say that I have complete confidence in booking with Celtic Trails."
