Can an English speaker get by without Spanish off-the-beaten-track in the Canary Islands?

I’m planning on visiting either Fuerteventura or Tenerife & La Gomera in January 2010, for a walking holiday off the beaten track, and want to know if my lack of Spanish will present an issue in communicating with local people.

I agree with Molertolga, in that you’ll not find English spoken off the beaten track. Best advice is to invest in a phrase book (with pronunciation tips) containing key phrases. Show that you’re making an effort. Canarian natives away from the tourist areas will think it’s quite endearing.

For ideas for walking in Tenerife, take a look at this page on my site:

Good luck!
