scottish_chicP Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I am off to Lanzarote for a week on 29th October. Went last year on 6th October and temperatures were still hitting 30 degrees so hoping to get some decent sun before the dark depths of winter. Anyone been to Canaries Oct/Nov time?

Fitzroy Pointon Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 We're booked to go on 20th January so I am hoping it will be hot. I did check with my girlfriend before she booked and she has been many times to the Canaries in winter and says its warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjambo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Going to Gran Canaria on 30 Oct for a week, we were there last year about the same week and weather was excellent, high 20's during the day and about 20 at night. The year previous (2015) we were in Lanzarote the first week in November, again the weather was great, much the same as GC. Just in the process of booking up a week in Lanzarote for middle of March, going to a cracking apartment in Peurto Del Carmen. Feels great getting a bit of winter sun just before the thought of xmas arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWJ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've been to Gran Canaria a few times in January. It's warm, around 20-25c, so like a good summer's day here ( if you can remember one!) which suits me because I don't like it too hot. Still hott enough to sit / lie about in but cool at night.

Grumpy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Have been to the Canaries over Christmas for about the last 6 or 7 years. Temperature highs are usually 20-25c with occasional days a bit higher or lower. Evenings are obviously slightly cooler but still comfortable. Would imagine October / November would be a few degrees warmer - just at the top or slightly above my personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I am off to Lanzarote for a week on 29th October. Went last year on 6th October and temperatures were still hitting 30 degrees so hoping to get some decent sun before the dark depths of winter. Anyone been to Canaries Oct/Nov time? I was in Tenerife last October going into November and the weather was great. Very warm and the wind made it comfortable. I've been in January too and the temperature was great - just less hours of sunshine. Going back this November and expect more of the same. I believe the north of the island (north of Mount Teide) can be wetter and cooler in the winter months. Been to Fuerteventura in December too. Temperature was good but a lot windier. The island hosts windsurfing competitions so the winds are expected. Costa Del Sol has also been great when I've been October through to December. Sunbathing weather if that's your thing.

Nice quiet cove like resort with water taxi around the bay to Santa Eulalia. Short taxi/bus trips to Es Cana or Ibiza Town too should you fancy an afternoon trip to somewhere different.

jimmyjambo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Where in Puerto del Carmen? We booked an all inclusive on the outskirts which has pretty good reviews. Its a private apartment in The La Colina complex, which is near the old town harbour, the women that has it, has 2 apartments on the complex, one is a 1 bed apartment the other is a 2 bed. We stayed in the 2 bed a couple of years ago, it was superb, she has refurbed both apartments within the last couple of years, both are lovely, kitted out to a very high standard, both have private terraces that arent overlooked, great sea views. Ill PM you the links to both apartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were planning 18 months ago to go away and do the same earlier this year then our wee one came along and all such plans were put on hold.... 100% will do it, very high on my bucket list.

I live here in Cala Llonga and agree with SC that it is a perfect choice for a family with young children, (do a quick google image search to see the bay etc) What time of year are you thinking of going Sten?

That place was nice and worth a visit (although a but pricier). Amante , its a little bit more along the road in Sol Den Sierra. Where I live Too many cold winters in Longstone and East Lothian, it?s my second year here now and wish i had done it years ago. Oh and your area aint too bad either The only downside here is it that Cala Llonga is becoming so popular again with familes avoiding Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Greece etc etc that even now the bookings for next year are almost full and the prices are going up quickly. For anyone interested try Sirenis Hotels and El Pinar, those are ideal for kids, or if you can escape the kids and want to impress the missus try the Palladium 5 star. I am sure Jet2 also do here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our insurance company told us anything the travel company doesn't reimburse us, they will. Of course we'll lose the insurance cost, about $200.
