Winter can
wait a little.
There are better ways to face the dark winter days than looking for your other mitten.
Tenerife and Gran Canaria offer two different ways to escape the Norwegian winter. In Tenerife, alternate between volcanic landscapes and days by the sea. Gran Canaria combines beach life with city days in Las Palmas.
Mallorca is another option for small towns, coastal paths and unhurried days, rather than guaranteed swimming weather. This is inspiration, not a forecast. Choose where and when to go based on what you want to do.
