Canary islands at Christmas 2018

My husband and I are avid hikers and would like to visit one of the islands for 2 weeks at Christmas, or perhaps spend a week on one and take a small plane to another?

Can anyone tell us which island would be the best for that and also less rain? We don't care about the temperature but too much rain might not let us get out.

Thanks

We have spent a month each in Gran Canaria and Tenerife but in Feb and March. Weather was mostly wonderful with some rain. Hiking is excellent on both Islands. If you Google "hiking in xxx you will see references to hiking guides with recommended hikes.

We did one hike in the rain on Tenerife so be sure to bring rain gear.
