The Canaries without the crowdsIt is easy to avoid big resorts in the Canaries – the smaller islands have a handful of little towns with rural hotels dotted around. Hikers love lush La Gomera, with walks through the laurel forests in the Garajonay national park and along dramatic terraced hillsides overlooking the Atlantic. Headwater has a new self-guided walking holiday that goes across the island and explores gorges, valleys, palm groves and seaside villages.
