Canary Islands and Cape Verde - Self Catering Guide
Self Catering Holidays
Self catering holidays are a great alternative to ’All inclusive’ and
‘Package holidays’ as it not only saves you money, but also allows you the flexibility and freedom to do what you like, when you like without being restricted by meal times.
Self catering accommodation in the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands are privately
owned and offer good quality accommodation, with all the home comforts you would expect and are fully equipped for you to make the most of self catering whilst on holiday.
Apartments, bungalows,
townhouses and villas are priced per week and NOT per person, and
represent good value for money, discounts are often given for last minute bookings and longer stays. In general accommodation is often situated within complexes that offer a range of facilities that cater for the holiday market, including the use of a communal swimming pool, 24hr reception and pool bar and are often conveniently located for local
shops, bars, restaurants and of course the beach. Villas are a great choice for large families / groups who want to share the cost of accommodation and benefit from private facilities.
Low cost airlines operate between the UK and the Canary Islands of
Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura on a daily basis. Booking your flight a few weeks in advance can save you pounds as the
cost of flights increase, the closer it gets to the date of departure. Direct flights are not yet available from outside the Canary Islands to La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma, however, you can travel to Tenerife and catch the ferry to these islands.
With the increase in travellers to the Islands of Cape Verde, direct flights are available from several UK and international airports to Boa Vista, Sal, Sao Vicente and Santiago. Inter island flights are available to the other islands.
A weeks worth of shopping for a family of four at the spanish supermarket will cost around 150€ in the Canary Islands, familiar
brands can seem expensive compared to the cost in the UK, don’t be afraid to try the spanish eqivalent, they are often just as good.
