The Canaries guarantee winter sun, but there s no need to share your sun lounger with every other Brit escaping the miserable weather. Pretty Puerto Calero is yet to see mass tourism, so, save for the distant hum of jet skis, you can expect peace and quiet.

A “super race” and a “great welcome”. Those were the words from the owner of the Palanad 3 boat which finished the 2735-mile RORC Transatlantic Race on Tuesday with a phenomenal elapsed time of 10 days, one hour, 43 minutes and 18 seconds.
Up to last night, Olivier Magre’s Class40 vessel had scored the best corrected time under IRC to claim the trophy after showing blistering pace in the event.
“We pushed the boat hard, maybe at times a bit too much,” admitted sailor Luke Berry. “We had the smaller spinnaker up in 38 knots for example.”
