No vendors in mainland Europe will ship to The Canary Islands because our post/delivery services are so dire! (An ordinary letter can take 6 - 8 weeks from the UK. One of my friends Christmas cards went via India!!)
My only alternative would be to take a 2 day ferry trip to mainland Spain and then drive to wherever I could buy a wanted orchid! This makes them rather expensive!!

We all need a reality check from time to time don't we
Have you considered trying flasks or plants with a rest period?
If people shove their Catasetum in boxes during winter, I assume they could survive the trip.
