Both archipelagos are a great place for a beach holiday.  In the Canary Islands swimming is possible all year round. Ibiza is a world center of youth dance music. In Mallorca and Menorca, the vacation leisure is more respectable.

In addition to swimming, there are excellent opportunities for trekking in the Canary Islands. In Tenerife, you must climb the Teide volcano, on Gran Canaria, see the Maspalomas dunes. All the Islands have many opportunities for trekking in mountainous areas among relict forests, gorges, and waterfalls.
