The western islands are greener and wetter, while the eastern ones are arid, sandy and more exposed to wind, and Los Realejos sits firmly in the greener half. The Canary Islands have a mild subtropical climate, with warm, sunny weather for most of the year. The timple, a small five-string instrument, features in Canarian folk music alongside guitars.
