Often I get e-mail from readers requesting to do a packing list for a specific place. Sometimes it is for some obscure trip that I feel might not appeal to everyone, but sometimes it is not. This packing list request came from a reader who is spending 10-14 days in the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria) and attending a wedding while there. She’s not visiting until December, but the weather in the Canary islands doesn’t fluctuate too much throughout now and then. The high now is around 80F, and in December it will be around 70F. It will be wetter in December, and possibly windier.
The islands are varied in shape, ranging from lava rock to white and black sand beaches and the African sun can be hot. My favorite item from this list has to be the fringed tote, it’s such a statement piece. I’ve included a long black maxi dress that can easily be dressed up with some jewelry and a simple pair of sandals for the wedding, as well as plenty of beach-friendly go-to items. The closed toe shoes will work for walking on lava paths and doing light exploring, but I’d also consider a pair of sneakers depending on your itinerary. Obviously this is a little more of a casual resort-style packing list, and if you’re planning to have a more active trip you might need to change out a few items.
