Corpus Christi flower carpets in La Orotava often fall in June, depending on the year. Crowds and prices are moderate.

Things to do in Canary Islands
Teide National Park and cable car
The cable car climbs to about 11,660 feet (3,555 m). The final path to the summit needs a free permit booked well in advance. Winds can halt the cable car in any season.
Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote
A landscape of craters and lava from 18th-century eruptions, visited by coach route from the Montanas del Fuego visitor center.
Cesar Manrique's Lanzarote
Jameos del Agua, the Mirador del Rio, and the Cactus Garden show how one artist shaped an entire island's look.
Maspalomas Dunes, Gran Canaria
A protected dune field on the south coast. Walk it at sunrise before the heat and the crowds.
Roque Nublo, Gran Canaria
A volcanic monolith at the island's high center reached by a short, popular hike. Go early; parking fills fast on weekends.
Garajonay National Park, La Gomera
A UNESCO-listed laurel cloud forest, a day trip by ferry from Tenerife.
Beat the crowds
- Avoid the Christmas to New Year fortnight, February half-term, Easter week, and August if price matters; the same weather is available for much less in May, June, and October.
- Book the Teide summit permit weeks or months ahead and take the first cable car of the day to beat both queues and afternoon cloud.
- Stay outside the big southern resorts: Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife, Agaete on Gran Canaria, or rural casas on La Gomera and La Palma.
- Do Timanfaya and Jameos del Agua at opening, before tour coaches arrive from the resorts.
Know before you go
- Nothing closes for a season. Hotels, restaurants, parks, and beaches operate all year.
- The Teide cable car stops in high winds or ice, and the summit trail requires a permit. Winter storms occasionally close the park's upper roads.
- Calima dust episodes, most common in summer and winter, can bring haze, poor air quality, and flight disruptions for a day or two.
- Sundays and public holidays close many shops in towns, though resort areas stay open.
