Millions of us Brits flock there each year, wooed by the all-year around holiday bargains on offer, especially for families.

Temperatures across the Canaries stay fairly consistent throughout the year, with average highs in the Summer months in the mid-20s, and dropping to the high-teens/low-20s during the supposed Winter months.
