Canary Islands - major tourist destination.
Yes it is I have been there a couple of times - a wonderful vacation spot, great weather.
As the islands are Spanish the government pays for subsidized vacations for any Spanish person over 65 during the winter. As do the Scandinavians and Germans.
This is good business as it is much better to give people a vacation than pay the staff who would be laid off in the winter - The government saves money and everyone is happy.
The Scandianvian government takes over several hotels on the island for their old people to escape the winter too.
