¡Hola and welcome to your new favourite island news destination! 🌴
We’re absolutely thrilled you’ve found your way to Canarian News, the freshest addition to the beloved family of online island publications that locals and visitors have come to know and trust!
Our Story
You might already know us from our popular sister sites, Tenerife Weekly and Tenerife Forum, which have become the go to sources for thousands of islanders and Canary enthusiasts worldwide. These platforms have built an incredible community over the years, connecting residents, expats, and visitors through authentic local stories and genuine island insights and support.
But here’s the thing – we realised that while Tenerife was getting all the spotlight, the other magnificent islands of our archipelago had incredible stories to tell too! Each island has its own unique character, from Gran Canaria’s cosmopolitan energy and stunning sand dunes to Lanzarote’s otherworldly volcanic landscapes, from Fuerteventura’s endless beaches and windsurfing paradise to La Palma’s lush forests and astronomical wonders.
That’s when I had the thought. Why should Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura, as well as the smaller one, miss out on having their voices heard? Every island deserves its moment in the sun (and trust us, we have plenty of that here! ☀️). The passion and enthusiasm from readers across the archipelago was overwhelming; people were hungry for authentic, local coverage of their beautiful islands.

We’re passionate about showcasing the incredible diversity of the Canaries. Whether it’s covering the latest sustainable tourism initiatives in Fuerteventura, the vibrant cultural scene in Gran Canaria, the traditional crafts being preserved in Tenerife, or the innovative wineries of Lanzarote, we believe every island has fascinating stories that deserve to be shared.
We’re not just another news site; we’re your friendly neighbours who happen to be really good at keeping their ears to the ground.
