Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to all our readers, wherever you are in the world! My husband and I are passionate about cruises and have enjoyed five wonderful voyages over the past few years. We are thrilled to announce that our next adventure is just around the corner in April, where we will explore the beautiful Canary Islands. This will be a first-time experience for my husband, while for me, it feels like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, having visited Lanzarote, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria during my childhood on all-inclusive holidays.
In anticipation of our upcoming cruise, I have decided to create a series of blog posts showcasing the unique charm of each port we will be visiting. From must-see attractions and hidden gems to the best places to eat, join us as we embark on this exciting journey together.

To the question above, I will answer it in two ways.
Firstly, the place. If I was to do a shopping spree I would either do it online, or I would take a trip up to our nearest city, Bristol. There, we would either visit Cribbs Causeway, a mall, or Cabot Circus, an indoor and outdoor shopping centre.
Secondly, in terms of shops. I’d probably split my shopping across multiple types, clothes, entertainment, cosmetics etc. An example would be, Pull & Bear, HMV, Lego, Typo, Primark, H&M.
Thank you for taking the time to read our blog post. Have you visited any of the Canary Islands? If so, what places do you recommend us visiting for our upcoming trip?
