The Canary Guide is an independent travel guide, not an official source. We research carefully and correct mistakes when we find them, but everything here is general information published in good faith — you use it at your own risk. This page explains what that means in practice.
No guarantee that the information is right
Prices, opening hours, ferry and bus timetables, entry requirements, tax rates and safety conditions change constantly, sometimes overnight. Information on canaryguide.info may be out of date or simply wrong, even where it was checked when the article was written. We give no warranty that the content is complete, accurate or suitable for your situation, and we accept no liability for loss or inconvenience arising from your reliance on it.
Always confirm with the official source before you commit to anything that matters: the airline, the ferry operator, your insurer, the local town hall, or the venue itself. Where an article names an official body, use that body's own website rather than our summary of it.
Not legal, financial or medical advice
Articles covering visas, residency, driving rules, IGIC and taxes, property, insurance, health and vaccinations are general information — not advice on your own case. What applies to you depends on your nationality, your residence status, how long you stay and much else. Speak to the relevant authority or a qualified professional before you act.
Health content on this site is not a substitute for seeing a doctor. If you are ill or injured in the islands, seek medical help rather than a web page. In an emergency anywhere in Spain the number is 112.
Safety and travel advice
Any judgement we make about how safe a beach, road, trail or neighbourhood is reflects our own experience and is not official travel advice. Official advice for British travellers comes from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and that is what your travel insurance will be measured against. Sea conditions in particular change by the hour — the beach flag flying on the day outranks anything written here.
