"Isn't there volcanos going off there right now?
Too risky in my view
Volcano is on a different island over 70 miles away. We have just come back from Tenerife and there were no issues. "
Glad you enjoyed. I am just saying it's not for me. Tenerife is built on an volcano and it's not extinct. As long as the eruptions are not near the airport then the people can be evacuated |

All the Canary Islands are technically volcanic AFAIK. The eruption is on La Palma so no reason to avoid Tenerife, GC, Fuerteventura.
Here's a full list of recorded Canary Island eruptions since records began taken from the website below.

It’s not erupted since 1909 and is 20 years overdue but I think you are perfectly safe. |

I regularly go on holiday just because where I'm going is in or has active volcanoes. They are not just going to erupt with no warning.
I spend a lot of time normally in Naples and on the amalfi coast ( so Mt Vesuvius and the super volcano under the naples area ..) or Sicily and stay close to Mt Etna.
I'd go to tenerife for the volcano but find Mt Etna much more alluring as she is often active while I'm there |

"They have just closed the Canary Island airport because of the volcanic ash
Which island ? "
La Palma, the island where the volcano has erupted. Some people (yes you Tom) really should think before opening their mouths as it's scaremongering giving out duff info that a lot of people won't check and will take as gospel. |
