which Canary Island would you recommend?

Would recommend La Palma. One of the smaller islands. Definitely not tacky and not that touristy. Lots of volcanic mountains and banana plantations. Has a very Spanish feel. We went with a 3 year old and she had a great time. The only downside is that the beaches are not great and black (volcanic sand). But we stayed in a hotel with a lovely pool so we didn't miss it.

On the subject of holidays (sorry to hijack thread a little) how does everyone feel about taking young babies to very hot places? We're thinking of going on holiday this summer and have looked into one of the balearic islands around June time, temp will be Mid to Late 20s, how do little ones cope with this? Obviously will cover in suncream and wear hat/have sun umbrella/keep out of midday sun etc but do they cope ok?

emza78 - go for it. You are talking about a sensible approach to the heat. They cope by having a brilliant holiday with their family and love being in the sea / pool outdoors.


The worse thing I have encountered about hot holidays is toddlers freaking out at the feel of sand beneath their feet and some interfering cow saying to my hubbie 'I hope that child has got suncream on'.

hi we went to lanzarote and stayed at this villa link to villa

it was amazing, the drive way is off road over a big hill and you would need a car as it is about 10 mins drive to the nearest town but its fantastic, amazing views, beautiful villa.


the picture of the back of the villa with all of the little walkways is all within the villas land and you cant get out of it its all gated so our daughter loved it and felt so safe letting her play in the grounds.


everything you would need, microwave, washer etc. Pool is lovely, lanzarote had a law passed that all buildings had to be under 3 stories high ans painted white so you will find no high rise blocks and has a lovely village feel all over the island.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
