Recent weather conditions in the United Kingdom have been gloomy, prompting many individuals to seek a change of scenery and some much-needed sunshine. Fortunately, there are attractive flight deals available for those looking to escape the dreary weather.
Ryanair has announced a sale featuring discounted fares until the end of March, covering various city breaks and captivating European destinations. Among these offers, the Canary Islands stand out as a popular choice for Brits yearning for a taste of summer.
For as low as £14.99 one way, travelers can secure flights from the UK to the Canary Islands through Ryanair’s website. Despite recent storms, the islands are expected to experience pleasant weather in the coming weeks, with temperatures reaching highs of 20C and predominantly sunny days. By March, daytime temperatures typically range from 20-22C, ideal for beach outings and poolside relaxation.
In addition to these enticing offers, discounted fares starting at £15 are available for Tenerife South on selected dates from airports like Birmingham, London-Stansted, and Edinburgh. Tenerife is a favored destination within the Canary Islands due to its warm climate, particularly in the southern region.
Notable resorts in Tenerife frequented by British tourists include Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, and Los Cristianos, known for their sandy beaches, family-friendly attractions, and a variety of open bars and restaurants during the winter season. For a quieter retreat, visitors can opt for Los Gigantes, renowned for its dramatic volcanic cliffs and natural rock pools suitable for swimming.
Travelers can also find budget-friendly fares starting from £14.99 to Gran Canaria, with departures available from London-Stansted, Manchester, Bournemouth, and Bristol. With a climate similar to Tenerife, Gran Canaria offers a slightly less bustling atmosphere, though it boasts lively resorts such as Maspalomas in the southern part of the island.
While many visitors to Gran Canaria seek relaxation on its beaches, the winter season attracts hikers looking to explore the mild weather conditions ideal for outdoor adventures. The hike up Roque Nublo is a popular choice, offering panoramic views of the island’s volcanic terrain within a short half-hour ascent to the peak.
One lesser-known island included in Ryanair’s sale is Fuerteventura, with discounted fares starting at £15 from Stansted and East Midlands, and £16 from Leeds Bradford. Characterized by a desert landscape, Fuerteventura is flatter compared to other Canary Islands and is celebrated for its extensive sandy beaches.
During the winter months, many tourists opt to stay in Corralejo, located at the northern tip of Fuerteventura. From its port, visitors can embark on a short ferry ride to Lanzarote for a day trip, taking less than half an hour to reach the neighboring island.
Corralejo is popular for water activities like swimming and windsurfing, offering vibrant nightlife throughout the year. It’s also an ideal time for hiking Montaña Roja, a short excursion with breathtaking views overlooking the sea towards Lanzarote and the expansive landscape on clear days.
