Guilherme Ribeiro | December 25, 2017

If you’re already dreading the thought of sleeping with electric blankets, wearing a thick coat just to buy a carton of milk at the store, or spending loads of money on heating bills, you’re not alone. The good thing is that there are plenty of cheap hot places where you can stretch your legs at the beach and enjoy the sun.

As you’d expect, most of these destinations are located around the equator line and enjoy great temperatures all year round. If you manage to avoid the peak of the high season, you’ll probably find cheap flights, affordable accommodations, and empty beaches just for yourself!

13. The Canary Islands – Spain

The Canary Islands are an archipelago located on the west of Africa (close to Morocco), but are actually a part of Spain. There are seven main islands and the capital is shared between the cities of Santa Cruz (Tenerife) and Las Palmas (Gran Canaria).

It’s a popular destination for Europeans as even during the winter, visitors can enjoy temperatures of 71 Fahrenheit and plenty of sunlight. The rugged volcanic landscape is perfect for those who like hiking, but many travelers choose to stay in all-inclusive resorts, sunbathe all day, and forget about the rest of the world.
