This winter, the Canary Islands really do seem to be the number one holiday location on the Christmas wish list. It is traditionally a busy time here on La Palma and the rest of the islands but for the past month, the number of enquiries has been - in our experience - unprecedented. Finding accommodation for people, whether it be an apartment by the beach or a rural house for rent, has become more and more difficult. It really is a case of the early bird having the choice of accommodation!
The most popular week even above Christmas week has been over New Year and all of the apartments at Tazacorte that we normally book for people are now taken. Maybe it is something to do with laying on the beach and soaking up some sun - not a bad way to start 2012!

But if you haven't booked your accommodation yet, despair not. There are still one or two houses for rent available and with a few seats still remaining on the 30th December to 6th January direct flights from London Gatwick to La Palma or direct from Manchester to La Palma. Thanks to Santa's little helper, otherwise known as Thomsons, the return flight costs just £109 return so you too could be spending New Year on La Palma.
However, if you are able to hang on for another week or two, you might be able to take advantage of an even better deal as Thomsons reduce their post-New Year holiday prices even further to £88 for a return flight to La Palma, both from London Gatwick and Manchester. It's a crazy price!
And by waiting until after the holiday rush, you will have a greater choice of accommodation too. So if we didn't see you in La Palma this year, then maybe next!
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year too, wherever you may be.
Ann and David.
