The Canary Islands enjoy a mild subtropical climate, so warm, sunny weather is common for much of the year, while June to September brings the hottest and busiest conditions. Canarian cooking centres on fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas served with mojo sauce, and market stalls often reflect that local produce. Flights link the Canaries to mainland Spain frequently, and ferries and short flights connect the islands to one another. Spanish is the main language spoken, which helps visitors navigate both the market and the surrounding town.
