Can anyone suggest the best Canary Island(s) in which to spend January and February? Would like to be in the sunniest place possible, in an interesting, attractive city or town(s), with the emphasis on culture, arts, and history, and safe for a senior lady. Have been to Spain and Portugal but not the Canaries yet. Any advice or suggestions?

Based on what you're asking for, I would recommend you pick Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote. This is a tourist locale for sure, but you can get your cultural fix if you're into art and want to learn about CĂ©sar Manrique (a local who made his fame and fortune years ago; now deceased).
You can also take a quick trip to La Graciosa, which is a small island very close to Lanzarote.
Bear in mind that Lanzarote is desert, like its neighbor Fuerteventura.
If you don't mind the lack of trees, you'll enjoy the beaches and good weather.

For culture, arts, and history, you'd probably be better served with La Laguna on Tenerife or Santa Cruz de La Palma.
Forget any comparisons with the peninsula, museums in Madrid or Barcelona, etc.

Now, another option which you might consider is combine a Madeira/Porto Santo vacation.
