How to Embrace the Christmas Spirit in a Warm Paradise like the Canary Islands
When we think of Christmas, we often imagine snowy landscapes, cozy fireplaces, and wool scarves. However, in the Canary Islands, Christmas is experienced differently: with mild temperatures, natural sunlight, the Atlantic Ocean, and a special energy that combines tradition and well-being. At Coral Hotels, we believe the Christmas spirit doesn't depend on cold weather but on experiences, shared moments, and joy.
Here are some tips to create and enjoy the true Christmas spirit in a warm destination like the Canary Islands.
1. Redefine Christmas: more light, more calm
Winter in the Canary Islands offers sunny and pleasant days. Taking advantage of natural light, outdoor walks, and connecting with nature is a great way to reconnect with the essence of the season: rest, gratitude, and quality time.
Swapping heavy coats for a stroll by the sea or a meal in the sun doesn’t take away the magic of Christmas—it transforms it into a more conscious and relaxing experience.
2. Christmas decorations with a local touch
Christmas spirit also adapts to the surroundings. In the Canary Islands, decorations are enriched with natural elements like palm trees, local flowers, wood, and soft tones, combined with warm lights and traditional details.
At Coral Hotels, we combine classic Christmas decor with Canary Island identity, creating cozy, elegant, and charming environments.
3. Flavors that unite tradition and local cuisine
Gastronomy is an essential part of Christmas. In the Canary Islands, traditional flavors mix with local products, giving rise to unique culinary experiences.
Enjoying traditional dishes, fresh fish, local produce, and holiday sweets, all in a privileged climate, turns every meal into a special celebration.
4. Canary Island traditions to experience an authentic Christmas
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit in the Canaries is to explore its local traditions, which combine cultural heritage, music, and community life.
Some highlights include:
Los Ranchos de Pascua: traditional music groups that roam towns singing Christmas carols with string and percussion instruments. A unique experience to feel Christmas at its roots.
Canary Island nativity scenes: displayed in churches, plazas, and cultural spaces, many incorporate volcanic landscapes, traditional houses, and local scenes.
Typical Christmas cuisine: dishes like salted fish, "papas arrugadas," "escaldón," or traditional sweets like "turrón," sweet potato turnovers, and "bienmesabe" are part of the festivities.
Experiencing these traditions allows you to connect with the essence of the islands and celebrate a different, close, and authentic Christmas.
5. Christmas rituals with a twist
Maintaining small rituals helps preserve the essence of the season: listening to carols, sharing a special dinner, or exchanging gifts. In the Canary Islands, these moments can be enjoyed outdoors, by a heated pool, on a terrace, or with ocean views.
Christmas doesn’t lose its meaning; it’s just experienced from a different perspective.
