You form for the most part from a surface of volcanic origin the Canary Islands I am
divise in due province: Las Palmas and Saint Cruz de Tenerife.
The archipelago of the islands canary counts seven principal islands, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote
they belong to the district of Las Palmas, while Tenerife, La Gomera, Hierro and La
Palma they constitute the province of Saint Cruz de Tenerife. L' extension of the territory
altogether measure around 7.447 kmqs, the capital is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
the Administrative arrangement is represented by a Community Autonoma of Spain.
Geographically the Canary Islands
they represent after all the peaks of a great situated volcanic mountainous chain
the Atlantic ocean. The Teide, situated in the island of Tenerife it is the tallest volcano, with
3718 m of altitude, besides it possesses the record to be also the tallest top in Spain and
the third volcano of the world, later those
of the Hawaii.
To 95 kilometers of distance from the territory set to east of Fuerteventura is situated
Morocco, the near nation mostly.
For the characteristic geographical position under the 30° parallel North,
the climate to the canary islands it is pleasant,
generally subtropical, the presence of the Anticyclone of the Azzorre assures sunny once, dry
and stable with
little precipitations, also for long periods, in particular way during
the months had understood since April in September.
The temperatures to the
Canary Islands
introduces modest seasonal excursions.
In the island most southern, Gran Canaria, the middle temperatures to Las Palmas
they vary from the 17° centigrade degrees of January to the 24° centigrades of the month of August where it is recorded
the most greater heat during the summer.
Normally during the year to the canary islands land seasonal averages measure around 18°-20° degrees
in winter and 24° degrees during the summer months, therefore
the climate always results spring.
As it regards the precipitations we remember that to the
canary islands they result
very scarce in the inclusive period between the months of May and September,
at the most they reach the 200 mm during the year with small oscillations between 150 and 180 mm.,
particularly to Gran Canaria
the south of the island offers more elevated temperatures and scarce rains
in how much the Thick Central of Gran Canaria hinders the passage of the clouds and the
winds coming from North.
Altogether however the
canary islands
I am also clearly a good tourist destination during the winter and summer period
to run away from situations of intense cold of Europe or to be a hot
less torrid, dry and moderate.
The least favorable profile than the climate to the.
canary islands
he underlines during the period of the Calima,
a deriving African tropical wind
from southeast that it is created when a depression solicits the Atlantic lower part bringing,
elevated temperatures, the sand of the desert and at times also
conditions of very bad visibility.
The wind of the Calima is more frequent in the autumn slow period or of
end winter, when the influxes tropical north Africans introduce him
with greater incidence.
Besides the coasts set to south of Tenerife are subject to winds favonici of fall,
when the intense tides of north and northwest follow
Atlantic foreheads in passage sull' Mediterranean Europe.
The dry and red hot air goes down from the Teide de Tenerife,
to very elevated temperatures, at times superior to 30°C with some values of damp
below 35%.
Thanks to the tides coming from the gulf of Mexico, the waters of the
canary islands
introduces mitigate superficial temperatures
with excursions
seasonal a little elevated,
with an annual least value
of around 18.° - 20° C in winter.
Currently
the Isolates of Tenerife it represents the symbol of the tourism of mass during the whole period of the year,
thanks to the favorable climate and the modern receptive tourist structures. For extension of the surface,
the island is the greatest in the archipelago of the Canary, its capital Saint Cruz, is situated in the part
northerly of the territory.
As it regards the tourism the island of tenerife it distinguishes him in the two zones, to north Puerto of the Cruz,
characterized by structures
luxurious absorbed in the green, to south Playa de las Americas developed to urbanistic level in the last years with modern hotels.
In the archipelago of the islands canarie the waters of the Atlantic ocean mostly remain cold than it is placed to imagine
considered their subtropical latitude, this is due to the fact that the tide of the gulf follows the direction
north-south.
A' other characteristic of this sea remains the color characteristic dark blue owed to the depth of the waters
what at times it also reaches the 3000 meters among the different islands.
The majority of the receptive structures for the tourism they are assembled in proximity of the sea
where the climate results mild, with middle temperatures that wander around the 19° during the winter period - 20° centigrades
and in the summer they don't go beyond the 25° Centigrades. Very in demand it is the tourist offer, probably one of the most important
to European level, with a number of places bed around the 450.000 distributed in the coastal urbanizations of the most greater places or in tourist centers.
