Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Abama Resort, Tenerife
Within a 160-hectare private estate in western Tenerife, the five-star Abama Golf & Spa Resort enjoys a cliff-side setting amid volcanic landscapes and exuberant vegetation. Boasting panoramic views of the hotel's golf course, the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera, hotel architecture speaks of a combination of influences, from North Africa to principles of ancient China. Between the beach and the golf course is the magical Citadel, with its burnt terracotta, Moorish-style buildings. This is where you will find an array of restaurants and bars, a library, the spa and numerous swimming pools. Two further pools are ocean lagoons reclaimed from the volcanic rock at the foot of the cliff, and the beach is reached by funicular and along the jetty beside the beach. The Citadel is home to a selection of rooms and suites, each with its own terrace with views of the Atlantic, the golf course or the gardens. Elsewhere, the Tagor villas offer access to a private pool from botanic gardens that tumble down from the main citadel towards the ocean. Dining at Abama is intended to offer variety and quality of experience, so there are restaurants offering seafood, Italian and Argentinian, local specialties and gourmet cuisine. Kabuki boasts one Michelin star and M.B. was awarded a second Michelin star in 2013 (both are closed for part of the year). With its children's club, golf course, tennis academy and spa, Abama offers exceptional standards and facilities for guests of all ages.

About Canary Islands
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Canary Islands includes a selection of four and five star beach resorts which cater for families and couples alike. The Canary Islands can be found sitting off the western coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Warmed by year-round sunshine, the Canaries feature otherworldly landscapes of volcanic craters, lava deserts and cute coves with black-sand beaches. Meanwhile, steep hillsides and terraced farmland gives way to peaceful fishing villages and characterful old towns. In the west of the archipelago are the mountainous islands of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera. Expect black-sand beaches and buzzing resorts along Tenerife's coastline whilst the interior is dominated by the dormant Mount Teide volcano. Meanwhile the three smaller islands remain relatively unspoiled, with landscapes including terraced hillsides, craggy cliffs and subtropical rainforests. The eastern isles consist of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, each with a unique atmosphere and plenty of attractions. Gran Canaria is home to sprawling resorts as well as stunning scenery with forests, mountains and sand dunes; Fuerteventura is an arid and sparsely populated island with a desert-like landscape and long stretches of white sand beaches; while Lanzarote is a rugged island where lava flows have solidified to create a lunar landscape which contrasts with sandy beaches and green valleys. Due to their location in the Atlantic Ocean just 60 miles away from the coast of Morocco, the Canary Islands' cultures fuse African, Latin American and European influences, creating a unique identity which is quite different to that of the Iberian Peninsula. Contrary to popular belief, there is no want for authenticity here....

Gastronomy of the Canary Islands
Due to the geographical location, gastronomy in the Canary Islands incorporates elements of Spanish, African and Latin American cuisine. A staple of Canarian cuisine is fish, which may be grilled, baked, salted or dried in the sun, along with shellfish which is also abundant. Bananas and tropical fruits are all grown across the islands, whilst rum, Malvasía wine and goat's cheeses are also produced. Key ingredients include ‘Gofio’ (cornmeal which is used in bread and stews), ‘Mojo’ (a sauce which contains either coriander or chili peppers and is frequently served with fish and meat) and ‘Papas arrugadas’ (a kind of jacket potato which is cooked in salt water). Typical dishes include ‘Sancocho’ (boiled fish served with potatoes), ‘Puchero canario’ (a hearty stew made with meat and vegetables) and ‘Bienmesabe’ (an almond cream dessert).
Festivals on the Canary Islands
January to February: Canary Islands Music Festival. February: Carnival celebrations. March: Holiy week celebrations. 29 April: Festival of the Aborigines, April to May: Cheese Festivals, 30 May: Day of the Canary Islands, May/June: Corpus Christi celebrations, 14 to 15 June: Festival of Saint John, marking the beginning of summer. July: Festival of the patron saint of fisherman. July: Canary Islands Jazz festival. 14 to 15 August: Festival of Virgen del Candelaria.
Climate of the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands' year-round sunshine, clear skies and spring-like temperatures make them a suitable holiday destination for all seasons. Winters are mild with average temperatures of around 17 degrees, whilst summers are warm with temperatures of around 24 degrees. Most of the islands are cooler and wetter in the northeast thanks to the trade winds which prevent the temperatures from getting too hot in the summer.
