About Guide to Canarias

Guide to Canarias helps travellers choose the right island, plan the practical details and find experiences that genuinely fit their trip. The site focuses exclusively on the eight Canary Islands.

Editorial identity

Guide to Canarias editorial team

Guide to Canarias is an independent editorial project focused only on the Canary Islands. Until individual contributor profiles are added, guides are published under the editorial team rather than attributing research to a person who has not been publicly identified.

How our guides are built

Local context

We explain the differences between islands, regions and travel styles instead of treating the archipelago as one destination.

Practical usefulness

Transport, seasonality, realistic trip length and who an island is not right for matter as much as highlights.

Editorial judgement

Recommendations are selected for relevance and fit, not simply because a commission is available.

Ongoing checks

We review links and core travel information and clearly direct visitors to partners for current prices and availability.

We prioritise primary sources such as island authorities, protected-area managers, airport and transport operators, and official attraction information. Commercial prices and availability are confirmed on the booking partner's website because they can change by date.

Transparency

Some booking links are affiliate links. They can support the research and maintenance of this site without changing the price paid by the traveller. Availability, final prices and booking conditions are always confirmed on the partner's website.
