The colder months have arrived and many of us are already missing the sunshine. For that reason, many choose to jet off abroad to make summer feel like it’s lasting for longer.
You don’t have to travel far or spend a fortune to get a slice of sun – as the Canary Islands offer pleasant weather for affordable prices. It’s also not as tiring as going to a long-haul destination.
So when should you consider booking a trip? According to a travel expert, October is one of the best months to visit so you should get booking fast.

For those planning on visiting the north, expect colder weather with a chance of clouds and drizzle. But ultimately, it’s still likely to be a lot less severe than the UK!
