Stay well protected during your trip to the Canary Islands

In the Canary Islands, you will enjoy a wonderful subtropical climate, but it is important to pay attention to a few health aspects. The sun is bright here, even on cloudy days. So apply high-factor sunscreen regularly, wear airy but covering clothes and drink enough water to avoid overheating. Hygiene on the islands is good, and tap water is basically safe to drink. Nevertheless, many travellers prefer bottled water. Furthermore, mosquitoes can be a nuisance, especially in the warmer periods. If you are prone to mosquito bites, it is wise to bring a good insect repellent.
