The icy winds that chill your bones is a normal experience when visiting Berlin between November and March.



Many Germans head to the Canary Isles to escape the icy winter back home. In addition to the British, Germans is the largest group of tourists on the Canary Isles.

While the Brits prefer to spend their vacation on Tenerife, most Germans head for the diverse island of Gran Canaria.

The climate is also far better on the Isles during the winter season than compared to mainland Spain.
