"The Canaries is Spain, which is almost Europe"
Tela....
I would like to say that Spain IS Europe, and that the history and culture of Europe is quite hard to understand without the history and culture of Spain.
This said, I think you have been already pretty well advised about EK. Let me tell you about Canary Islands, I have lived some time there.
Provided I agree with every single good thing said here about them and living there, I can assure you that the so-called "Islanditis" (Islitis in Spanish) will catch you, as it does with everybody else.
It's a feeling of short land. Life there is pleasant, but seems to be always the same. Land is "too finite" and you may certainly end up getting weary of not having new things to do/ places to go.
It is a nice place with nice people (got great friends there) and an acceptable standard of living, but it may bore you quite soon. Try to make sure you can get out from time to time.
I would rather come to EK/ Dubai, but of course...personal view.
Good luck!
