== Canary Islands Trip == | |||
An archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic sea, stunning beauty where you won't expect it. Seven islands, seven continents, thats what the canarian people say. And it's true, you will face seven totally different islands and nine different airports. | |||
Take off from the largest one, GCLP, at the main island Gran Canaria. Leave the beautiful island heading to the west, and land at GCTS, the southern airport at Tenerife. Enjoy the view on Spains highest mountain, the glaciered Teide, when flying to La Gomera (GCGM), one of the greenest islands there. Master the short runway, and enjoy the view, before taking the challenge and approach El Hierro (GCHI). A short runway, with cliffs and rocks on both ends will cause you to sweat. From this island, which was claimed to be the western end of the world in medieval times, you'll turn to the beautiful and wild island of La Palma (GCLA). The next approach will be historical, because you are approaching the notorious Tenerife North (GCXO). Yes, I am serious, you will face that airport, where the worst civil plane crash ever took place. But you needn't worry, if you got that far, you will do this approach as easy as any other. The longest flight on your trip will take you to the eastern island, Lanzarote (GCRR). Take a look at the volcanic-red mountains, the vineyards, and the beaches. You want more beaches?? Depart to the south-west, fly over the small island of Los Lobos, and land in the holiday-paradise Fuerteventura. Enjoy dunes, bays, and very nice long beaches, before you finally touch down in Fuerteventura (GCFV). You want to stay? Okay, let's taxi to a parking position, and cut off the engines. If you still want more, fly back to Gran Canaria's GCLP, where we started our trip. | |||
