For ‘winter’ sun, which is better? Any recommendations?

Do you want beaches? Tenerife generally better for beaches. From memory much less high rise in Lanzarote.

No not bothered by beaches.

Or I could throw Cyprus into the mix as well.

Tenerife will park the bus and look for something on the break being the away side.
The big question is, do Lanzarote possess the nous to break them down?

Fucking hell, thought it was another war kicking off.......

They are both lovely destinations for weather I do find Lanzarote can be a bit windy.

Weather wise, generally the same, I've heard about Lanzarotes's windiness. Went to Tenerife last winter 25C at the beginning of December. Heading to Lanzarote this November for 11 days.

Cyprus won't be on the same level of temperature, much cooler than the Canaries Nov-Jan.

Not been to Cyprus.

We liked Lanzarote more over Tenerife, it was less built up. Had a lovely holiday in Costa Teguise.

I’m hearing and seeing it mentioned in this thread, about the wind. How bad / windy is it?

Costa Teguise was certainly breezy, but we went in the summer when the trade winds are generally stronger.

Tenerife for me. San Juan or Puerto de Santiago away from the herds. Bar on the hill before you get into Santiago used to be run by a Spurs fan. Ok - admit to having a negative experience with Lanzarote. My daughter was in the entertainment team at a resort - first evening she broke a bone in her foot during a dance routine. Spent the following 10 days getting to know the Spanish health system. Rambling now but to cut a long story short Tenerife and north west corner if you’re not too bothered about sun and heat.

Been to Tenerife, was nice enough but I wouldn’t rush back. I fancy somewhere different maybe Marrakesh next time I’m looking for some winter sun.

Of the two, Tenerife, albeit prefer Gran Canaria if its a choice of Canary Island destinations.

For me, best winter sun in Europe is Cyprus (Alexander the Great in Paphos) or, dare I say, the south eastern corner of Majorca which is quite sophisticated.

Gran Canaria is the place to relax apparently we went there before my lads were born stayed at Puerto Rico it was ok, but its improved massively now apparently, Puerto Mogan next bay over is a must visit its beauty is outstanding.
