These seven islands in the Atlantic Ocean offer mountainous terrain, black-sand beaches and a mild climate year-round. The ports most commonly visited are Las Palmas on the Grand Canary Island and Tenerife. At Las Palmas, tourists will want to visit the duty-free shops and explore the narrow streets and plazas by horse-drawn carriage. At Tenerife, excursions visit the 200-year-old botanical gardens in Puerto de la Cruz, Lago Martianez with its saltwater pools and lagoons, and the world's largest collection of parrots at Loro Parque.
