Spain and Portugal offer beautiful islands in the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic, which promise memorable experiences to suit everyone’s tastes: nature and wide open spaces, relax, sport and adventure, gastronomy, local traditions, etc. Too often described as tourist traps with crowded beaches and nightclubs, these islands are actually the opposite, full of natural wonders, small churches lost in lush vegetation, deserted volcanic beaches... Of course, luxury lovers will find the best comfort in some of the most beautiful hotels that both countries can offer.
SpainTop organizes your trip in no less than four archipelagos, as different as magnificent. And there is something for every taste: wild nature or hectic nightlife, animal watching or lazing on heavenly beaches, water sports or mountain hikes... not to mention the gastronomy of each island, and their really interesting vineyards. Each one also offers local architecture, strong traditions and a rich past that will plunge you into the era of great explorations.
Our jewels in the Mediterranean Sea, Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera form the Spanish archipelago of the Balearic Islands. These islands are ideally located and so easily accessible, and they are very different. Another Spanish archipelago, the Canaries are eight islands of various sizes, variously accessible and variously frequented, in the Atlantic Ocean off Morocco. The climate is pleasant throughout the year, what a nice argument don’t you think?
In the heart of the Atlantic, the Portuguese islands of Madeira and Porto Santo are a natural paradise, two-thirds of which are protected and are home to the world’s largest laurel forest. Lost in the immensity of this same ocean, the Azores form another archipelago of nine natural jewels, where nature, fauna and flora lovers will find a dream destination.
