Answer 3

You will need to check with the insurance company.
It should be classed as Europe due to the Canary Islands being part of Spain BUT the Canary Islands aren't actually part of the European union. The Canary Islands have the Euro but that's it, if you buy cigarettes etc you are limited to what you can buy unlike mainland Spain.
I used to live in Lanzarote.

Answer 4

The Canary Islands are identified to be the sunshine heart of Europe! See that sunlight with hotelbye . Canary Islands offer a delicate conditions and a selection of fantastic normal attractions. Five of its seven islands have already been declared a Biosphere Reserve, and the archipelago has four national parks. Probably the most outstanding attractions in Canary Islands would be the beaches since they're only ideal for calming in the sun or experiencing water sports such as for example windsurfing and scuba diving. In Canary Islands you may also be impressing by the inside interest like: walking, period touring, climbing and actually caving. Some of the most spectacular attractions of Canary Islands are: the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote, the beaches of Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria making use of their mud dunes, or the green forests of La Palma and La Gomera.

Answer 5

Africa actually, if it's an option, but it is part of the Canary Islands which is Spain and part of the European Union. I'd ask your travel insurance how they would define it. I know it wouldn't be Worldwide as that would be if you are visiting more than one continent on your trip.

I see people justifying the Canary Islands as being part of Europe because it is part of Spain. St. Pierre and Miquelon are part of France but are 10km off the coast of Newfoundland in North America. Is that still Europe? What about St. Maarten in the Carribbean or the British Indian Ocean Territories?

The Canary Islands ARE part of the European Union, they just have the special tax regime (REF) and the special economic zone (ZEC)

Still, ask your insurance provider as they're the ones who will decide whether to pay you or not if you have to make a claim!
