Off to Canary Islands in 18 hours. Any requests? Last chance..

I decided to use 160,000 of my United frequent flier miles to take the wife and me to the Canary Islands for a week. Even better is that my mother-in-law gave us a week of timeshare to use there so it is practically a free trip.
While I don't anticipate many stops in coin stores while we are there, are there any general requests that anyone may have for me to look for, Euros etc. The Canary Islands are owned by Spain as sit off of Morrocco a few dozen miles.

The islands were named by Columbus when he saw dogs running around the island. Dog = Canis which somehow got to canary.

I'm about as pale white as they come, so I have to be careful not to get fried.
First order of business is to find the topless beaches, then get a metal detector and wander the beach looking for treasure, so to speak.
I have a giveaway in mind for when I get back.
