The Canary Islands are a tourist destination known almost everywhere in the world. However, there are certain areas of the archipelago where time seems to have stopped. We are referring to small towns full of charm where you will find a lot of peace and quiet to enjoy your holidays. Dare to leave the large hotel complexes and discover with your cheap rental car the Canary Islands, the corners that have best resisted mass tourism!

Betancuria

With only 714 inhabitants, this town is located in Fuerteventura and it is famous for its quietness and for being the first settlement on the island. If you have a rental car in Fuerteventura, just follow the FV-30 to reach this peculiar destination.

Agulo

The 1,074 residents of Agulo are fortunate to enjoy this spectacular landscape every day. This seaside town is surrounded by banana trees and it is one of the most valued postcards on the island. Take the opportunity to rent a car in La Gomera and visit other points of interest on the island such as the Garajonay National Park or Los Órganos.

Artenara

It is not only the smallest municipality in Gran Canaria (1,136 inhabitants) but it also has the honor of being the tallest one and being the one that has the most caves in its territory. From here you will enjoy the privileged view of the mountains and ravines of the island. In just one hour you can reach the sea with your rental car in Gran Canaria.

Garafía

With 1,607 residents, Garafía is the fourth smallest municipality on the Canary Islands. Located in La Palma, La Isla Bonita (called The Beautiful Island), is the perfect place for those who are looking for a cozy and relaxing holiday atmosphere. Its stone pavement and its location in the middle of a valley gives it an unparalleled beauty.

Vilaflor

An obligatory stop for those who go to the Teide, this small enclave of Tenerife offers good gastronomy, beautiful landscapes and a unique tranquility in the middle of nature. Leave your rental car parked in Tenerife and walk through its streets. You will not want to leave anymore!
