Where Should I go: Canary Islands or Liguria?
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are a territory of Spain located off the northwest coast of Africa. Made up of rugged volcanic islands, the archipelago is known for its black and white sand beaches with great surf as well as opportunities for hiking, biking, snorkeling, and scuba amongst other activities.
Liguria
The northwestern coast of Italy plunges into the sea as rugged mountains mix with blue water. Amongst this scenic landscape, small towns full of pastel colored houses cling to the cliffs above small harbors full of fishing boats and beachcombers. The capital is Genoa (or Genova), a city steeped in history with winding alleyways and world-class seafood. However, most visitors flock to nearby Portofino, one of the ritzier and more expensive, but extremely beautiful, Italian coastal cities. Here one can find large yachts parked along the shore next to rows of colorful buildings climbing the hills above the town.
