Yes, I was in the Canary Islands at the time when I wrote that. The average temperatures there lie between 21ºC and 26-28ºC all year round. While there, I read some report produced by some expert doctors saying that the weather in those islands is among the best in the world for your health.
Perhaps. But there was something in it that I didn't quite like. I wouldn't know how to explain, but I didn't feel comfortable in that weather. I can feel alright in very hot as well as very cold temperatures. I usually adapt very well. All I need is a good degree of humidity in the environment (I can't stand dry areas very well).
