Air Europa to begin flights from Miami to Spain and Tenerife

Spanish carrier Air Europa has announced it will begin nonstop service from Madrid to Miami International on March 19th, 2010, and also will renew nonstop service to Tenerife, Canary Islands, starting on June 19th, 2010.

The Canary Islands have a comprehensive inter island flight service between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma and these new flights will be a great boost to the Canarian population requiring international connections.

Air Europa will operate four weekly flights to Madrid and one weekly flight to Tenerife using Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The airline first began operating at Miami International on June 20th, 2009, with just a seasonal service to Tenerife.

Residents and property owners on the islands are now benefitting from a host of new flights that have begun to serve the islands in recent months. This will also help the American tourism to the islands

New European Cruise Routes Announced Including Canary Islands

The Canary Islands and Norway are to benefit from new routes announced by Fred Olsen Cruises for 2010. The new cruises will take passengers to the Cosmopolitan cities of Europe across diverse sea and landscapes in relaxed style. Gran Canaria, is included in the ‘Canaries Collection’ starting from the 5th of October 2010, leaving from Dover to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Las Palmas Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Portugal, and returning to Dover. As an autumn adventure the cruise takes advantage of the sub-tropical temperatures the Canary Islands are famous for this time of year. If last October is anything to go by passengers should be in for a real treat as temperatures then were more akin to the summer months. In fact many of the islands visitors and second home property owners prefer to spend the winter months in Gran Canaria. The ship called ‘Braemar’ has been refitted and lengthened and was voted ‘The Best Refurbished Ship’ in Cruise Critic’s Editor Pick Awards 2009.

Further cruises travel to Norway and the Iberian Peninsular during the summer months taking advantage of the more traditional summer weather in Northern Europe. The ‘Norweigen Celebration’ starts on 15th of May, ‘Secrets of Spain’ begins 30th of July and the ‘Viking Voyager’ cruise starts 8th of August.

It is anticipated the additional exposure to the Canaries will bring new awarenes to Gran Canaria and boost its tourism industry which has recently also been aided by new flights.

Norweigen interest in Gran Canaria growing

Norweigen interest in Gran Canaria is always highest during the 'winter season'when the tropical valleys of the South of the island offer warm protected santuary against the Scandinavian cold. Traditionally the better known areas of Arguinguin, Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico are first for visitors as property and accommodation availability are more widespread. As visitors become better aquainted with the island and venture further South or inland they discover smaller, more private places to stay such as Playa de Mogan, home to Goldacre Estates situated in the lawned gardens of the Cordial Hotel. Alongside other Northern European visitors, the Norweigen market has also started to settle in with visitors now converting to property owners, taking advantage of the high rental yields available in such exclusive areas. For those looking to be in the centre of Mogan within the Marina area known locally as 'Little Venice'this one bedroom ground floor apartment is a stones throw from the Marina with its varied bars, restaurants and shops. Regular ferry boats run from the Marina to Puerto Rico and Arguinguin along with the local airconditioned buses so even having a car is not essential.

Irish Interest on the rise in Gran Canaria

An increase in Irish online searches for winter sun holidays in Gran Canaria has been reported for the first 2 weeks of January 2010 compared to 2009. According to some hotel booking sites Gran Canaria saw a 50% rise ahead of Egypt 46%, Bali 30% and Phuket 27%. Unsurprisingly the weather seams to be the main motivator as Ireland and the UK have experienced extreme cold and snow while the Canaries have been enjoying a winter heat wave. Gran Canaria is well known as a winter sun destination especially amongst Scandinavian visitors, however new flights from the Uk and Ireland are raising the awareness of new markets to Gran Canarias warm winters. Visitors to the South of the Island know the beaches are more sheltered there facing away from any Northerly winds. Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas enjoy huge sand dunes for their beaches while Puerto Rico has a year round marina and further South is the tropical valley of Mogan, an exclusive marina front village with its own beach is particularly sheltered and always a few degrees warmer. Another reason for the interest from Ireland is currency convenience. Being in the Euro means there are no exchange fees to have to pay and holiday costs can be easily calculated without any loss through the exchange rate.
