We went to the Canary Islands in March of 2020 for my wife’s birthday. 2 days after we returned Spain went into one of the strictest lockdowns in the world.
We were thinking of going back there this year. It’s about 10 degrees C warmer than where we live now so you can still go swimming there and hang out on the beaches, a nice midwinter break. They want proof of a negative Covid test for residents from the Spanish mainland to enter the Spanish islands. For the 300 Euros it would cost us to get tested we can stay in a Parador and still have money left over for a nice meal supporting a local restaurant. Gran Canaria can get stuffed.
The Canaries are great...I should have gone to Tenerife again in Oct but the cruise from Barcelona to Tampa was cancelled back in April due to the Wu Hu Flu...
Fingies and toesies crossed for this year but probably wont happen either...
