We woke up at 7:30 am in the morning, with a beautiful sunrise, the sky was dotted with little pink clouds, which quickly disappeared and turned into a fresh summer morning. It was time for a chicken noodle soup, a coffee and a outdoor bathroom run.

El Cabrito

During these trips you really become a child again and learn to appreciate what you have, I never had such a tasteful instant soup. After the tent was taken down and everything was packed in our backpacks it was time to start hiking again.

We found a direct path to Hotel Finca El Cabrito, a small barn, with pigs, ducks and horses at the entrance. Unfortunately we were not allowed to enter the property. We had to find a new way around the area.

A minefield of loose and unstable rocks was waiting for us. After a few minutes we passed this obstacle and reached the beach of El Cabrito, like the Playa de la Gunacha it was a stone beach. While Bella was refilling our camel bak and water bottles at the reception, I was going for a refreshing morning swim. But the water was way too cold and I quickly decided against it.

The Finca looked really nice. The whole complex was a former tomato and banana plantation developed at the turn of the 20th century. It was completely renovated in 1987, and is open for lodging guests since 1991. The special attraction of this bay: it has no access by road. El Cabrito is situated directly by the sea and can only be reached by boat.

The guest and staff of the Hotel Finca El Cabrito were looking at us suspiciously, while listening to their daily group meeting. Maybe because they had no clue what we were doing or where we came from.

The GR 132 led us on the next steep ridge, on which we had to stop every 5 minutes to catch a breath. But the view was worth the effort. The path was lined with cactuses and some of them had small red fruits in their leaves. Called prickly pears, these neon fruits provide delicious juice that tastes like a cross between all-natural bubble gum and watermelon.

You can make a small detour to the edge of the ridge. A nice place to make a cereal bar break while enjoying the breathtaking panorama of Tenerife and the cloud covered Teide. The deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean will extend the break even more and if you are lucky it will be possible to see some Bryde’s whales from up there.

Morales

Continuing on the GR 132 we were heading towards Morales. One of our highlights of the day were the abandoned buildings of Morales and Contreras. The real reason why the people left their villages is unknown. Some sources say the cultivation of lice and the expensive extraction process of the dye wasn’t profitable anymore, others say the wheat farming wasn’t lucrative.

Nevertheless the deteriorating historical building were the right place for our lunch break accompanied by a quick nap in the sun. The shadow provided by the buildings was a welcome change.

Casa de Contreras

30 minutes later we reached Casa de Contreras, a two story high building, or rather its ruins from the 18th century. Cows and goats were following us while we reached the scenery. Today, the Casa de Contreras is a silent witness to past times of cereal prosperity.

From here we walked downhill for 1,5 kilometres until we reached a deep valley which we had to pass. – The Barranco de Chinguarime.

We were rewarded with a great view of the valley while we descented. There is a big banana plantation in the valley with tasteful small bananas. Introduced from Asia, the Canary Island Banana became acclimated to the islands in this archipelago during the 15th and 16th centuries. Today the plátano de canarias is part of many traditional dishes on La Gomera.

Bananas!

After passing El Joradillo located on the next mountain ridge we reached the “outskirts” of Playa de Santiago. In the early twentieth century, La Gomera was known in other islands by their fishing wealth and good economic prospects… so when on November 18th, 1909 saw the eruption of Chinyero volcano in Tenerife municipality of Santiago del Teide, their residents migrated to other parts of the island and south of La Gomera, where they decided to settle establishing the embryo of the small fishing village of Playa de Santiago.

Playa de Santiago

The first impression of Playa de Santiago was a bit misleading due to the fact that we had to pass the area of the Tecina Golf Club. After the barren scenery of the last two days this seemed to be an oasis in the desert. The actual town of Playa de Santiago was completely different. A nice old fishing town with old people sitting on the streets while playing domino.

Wide stairs led us to the old city on the way, we stopped at playground right in front of Barranco de Santiago to refill our water bottles and clean ourselves a bit before searching for a restaurant.

A rustic looking restaurant close to the city square with a wonderful view over the Atlantic ocean was the perfect spot to eat a hamburger with potatas. There was a TV running in every restaurant in town, motorbike racing is the sport to watch.

Unfortunately it was already getting dark and we had to move on. The plan was to sleep on the mountain north of the town, but we couldn’t find the correct way and the light of our head lamps where not providing enough light to find a good camping spot.

We decided to turn around, that meant we had to cross the whole town and the golf club until we reached Playa de Tapahuga again. I was completely wasted and the constant up and down wasn’t making it any better.

Shortly after the golf club we finally saw who was keeping us awake yesterday night the Scopoli’s shearwater. The birds were attracted by headlamps and screaming while flying in the light cones.

After one hour of wandering around, we found a hidden camping spot and went to bed without dinner. We were simply too exhausted – but still very happy. The “german birds” send us to sleep – nein… nein …….nein ……..nein ….

Tenerife Resorts

Puerto de Santiago

Puerto de Santiago (Spanish: Puerto de Santiago) is a coastal resort town located in the western part of the island of Tenerife. The distance to the South Airport (Reina Sofia – TFS) is 45 km and from the North Airport (Los Rodeos – TFN) 80 km (how to get there). Included in the municipality of Santiago del Teide.

Puerto de Santiago is above all a very calm and quiet town, chosen for the beautiful La Arena beach with black sand and the view of the cliffs of Los Gigantes. The great remoteness by island standards from the popular tourist centers of Costa Adeje, Playa de Las Americas and airports makes it less popular for our compatriots, including Europeans. In view of this, you have to waste a lot of time (additional funds) on a trip to water parks, transfers, zoos, visiting shopping centers and the lack of a variety of excursion tours to choose from.

The resort of Puerto de Santiago has all the infrastructure for a normal holiday stay. If you have rented an apartment, then here is one of the best supermarkets in Tenerife – Mercadona, and 750 meters from it, there is a Lidl supermarket. For hiking, from La Chica Beach to El Hibisco Street, there is a walking promenade that runs along the Atlantic Ocean. Its length is about 620 meters. Bars and restaurants are located mainly along the coastline, a large cluster of them is located on the Maritima Puerto de Santiago Avenue. We list the most popular of them, but again, someone may not like it, try to be selective:

Climate Puerto de Santiago

Winter

The western part of Tenerife is protected by a mountain range from the cool north and east-north winds, so the weather in Puerto de Santiago is stable and very mild. As can be seen in the graph, the coldest time falls on the last two winter months, January and February, capturing one spring – March. The average temperature from 2012 to 2017 fluctuates between 18 – 20°C. During the winter months on the ocean on a cloudless day, the sun usually warms the air up to 25 – 26°C, which is quite normal for being on the beach. During this period, the water temperature of the Atlantic Ocean at Playa de la Arena drops to 19- 20°C. Find out the ocean temperature in Tenerife now

Summer

The peak of high temperatures occurs in July, August and lasts until the end of September, sometimes until October. The temperature indicator is in the range of 27 – 28 ° C.

Beaches of Puerto de Santiago

The main and best beach – Playa La Arena (Spanish: Playa de La Arena), is located in the heart of the resort town. It is considered one of the cleanest and best beaches on the island, due to its coverage of coarse black volcanic sand. It is located in a bay surrounded by frozen volcanic formations. La Arena Beach is annually awarded the international Blue Flag award for its high standards of water quality and safe swimming. For families with children, the beach is very suitable, but due to the frequent waves of the ocean, you should be extremely careful.

From the free amenities service at La Arena, you will find internet Wi-Fi and a foot shower; of the paid ones: two sun loungers and an umbrella for 9 euros (price for 2017), body shower and toilet. In the immediate vicinity there are bars and restaurants, a grocery store “HiperDino Express”, a bus stop, public parking and taxis.

Fans of photography will also like it here – almost every place seems to be copied from a picture. Velvet black sand, blue-blue ocean and the setting sun during sunset. You will have where to point the lens of your camera.

The second quite popular place created by nature is El Roque. This is a swimming area in the crevices of hardened volcanic lava, which are located near the Barceló Santiago 4 * hotel or the Marblanco shopping center. Here you can dive from steep cliffs, swim with underwater masks, fish and, accordingly, sunbathe. The crystal clear waters will delight you and the kids will love to catch small fish and shells at low tide.

In addition, if you climb the rock formations nearby, you will see the Charco del Tacon cave, hidden from view, filled with sea water. In this very place, the locals have fun diving and riding the waves in the inner space. Be extremely careful before going down into this very bowl. First make sure that the Canarians dive without fear and then it is already worth jumping. In view of the incoming powerful wave, here it can strongly throw the body with streams of water and hit the rocks.

We offer you inexpensive and reliable rent apartments, flats, studios and villas in the south of Tenerife. There are residential properties available at relatively low prices from the owners. By renting accommodation with us, you get a guaranteed and secure booking, discounted airport pick-up, proven quality and accompanying service in Russian.

Masca Gorge

A visit to the mysterious Masca Gorge with hiking trails, along which the Guanches (ancient inhabitants) used to inhabit the island, used to go in the old days. A place with beautiful views from the mountain heights to the village of “Masca” and the neighboring island of La Gomera.

Going down the steep serpentine gorge, you will be breathtaking from the narrow roads and sharp turns. The road leads to the village with preserved historic houses of Canarian architecture.

Every day, travelers descend and ascend, overcoming a long distance, enjoying the cliffs hanging over the path with bizarre landscapes.

Wine tour

Tenerife is a relatively small island with not only beaches, volcanoes and mountains, but also vineyards grown on volcanic rock. Therefore, the grapes have peculiar flavors that are unique to this region and convey them to the wine. Due to the small number of areas where it is possible to cultivate this valuable crop, local winemakers in the production of wines put quality in the first place, not quantity.

Booking a wine tour in Tenerife and tasting the best flavors of organic wines couldn’t be easier. One of the valuable local products is “Malvasia”, a variety of grapes and good quality wine. Upon arrival, we will introduce you to detailed information on the production of wine in Tenerife, what grape variety is fermented from, where it grew and what kind of aging. In addition, stronger lovers will be offered liqueurs and Canarian rum. And after the purchase, you and your guide will visit additional attractions and a souvenir shop of Canarian crafts and various goods. And even more so, you probably want to bring gifts to your family, friends, colleagues or colleagues.

It is possible to combine this tour with a return transfer to the airport. If you leave the hotel before 12, and you get to the airport much later, then this is the best opportunity to have a busy time!

AVENIDA GRANDES PLAYAS S/N, Corralejo, Canary Islands, Spain

38.0km from Fuerteventura Airport

“We only booked this holiday 3 days before travelling so didn’t know anything about the island or the hotel. Pick up was fine. Reception was very informative and we were welcomed with a glass of cava. Our room was lovely overlooking the ocean, cleaned everyday to a high standard. Didn’t hear much noise from the room. The bathrooms are a good size with lots of shampoos etc. The restock of tea bags and milk was a bit hit and miss but I just got spares from breakfast. All meals were good even in the buffet restaurant especially breakfast. My favourite meals were in the Mediterranean and I’d recommend booking here. I do have to comment though after initial drinks they seem to never top up unless you flag someone down and being all in I’d expect a couple of glasses with my meal. Always sun beds available anytime of day. Although you do get the *****s who put them down before breakfast then disappear until after lunch no need whatsoever. Pools are cold but ok once in like most in Spain. The hotel in general is very well kept, always someone cleaning somewhere and the staff are a credit to the hotel. We were preferred club all inclusive which worked well for us. The only thing I didn’t see the point of was the Club lounge, never anyone in there and no alcohol. We’ve been to h20 hotels privilege and the lounges there are much better as you can serve yourself. You always have to be waited on here which if busy could take a while. My husband used the gym most days and he said it’s one of the better ones he’s used. “
“Just returned from this Amazing hotel having stayed 7 nights all inclusive we can only say it was the BEST hotel we have stayed in and have been to many over the years. The food was exceptional and staff could not do anymore for you making you feel welcomed and relaxed. Rooms were amazing bed so comfy and cleaners kept room in five star order throughout the stay. This was our anniversary and could not have chosen a better hotel so relaxing plenty of sun beds by pool and beach and comfy you just sank into the quality bed. My wife is taking our daughter back in November to also experience this Amazing place so thank you to the management who look after the staff so well it is obvious the staff appreciate how they are treated and work with both enthusiasm happy professionalism. See you November you deserve more than 5 STARS ⭐️ “
“Very spacious room in which nothing is missing and the biggest and best buffet for breakfast with are than 250 items.Also a private beach with good beds right on the sea. However, one cannot enter the sea from the beach because of rocky bottoms. There is a pier with stairs into the sea. The hotel is +18, so (families with) children are not welcome.”

Apartamentos Hesperia Bristol Playa

Urbanización Lago de Bristol, 1, Corralejo, Canary Islands, Spain

41.5km from Fuerteventura Airport

“Hotel is a very nice picturesque hotel on the outskirts of town, a 5-10 minute walk to the music square and main bars, restaurants and beaches. Its a little tired in places however there is a lot of painting and touching up going on all the time and it doesn’t really affect the overall pleasantness of the surroundings which is for the most part clean. Our room was 2 bedrooms backing onto the volleyball court (no net and therefore entirely useless) but with probably the biggest terrace/balcony we have ever had. They only came in to clean once during the stay but you have a dustpan and large brush so its really not an issue. The pool whilst lovely is patrolled by the fun police/lifeguards who do not allow diving, inflatables or ball games of any kind in the pool – spoilt the hotel a little to be honest with their enforcement of this and led to us spending more time at the beach. The pool is also salt water and quite cool but is ok once you are in! Sunbeds are often reserved by residents with towels but if you need beds the fun police will remove towels from beds that have not been used for a while so you can have them – to be fair they are consistent with this so no complaints from us. The reception staff are sadly lacking in charisma and don’t even look up as you pass through reception never mind offer you a greeting. We were given wristbands to wear for security but didn’t wear them once during our 2 week stay and were never challenged. The pool bar staff on the other hand are extremely friendly! Sadly this closes at 8pm each evening as does the shop so its deathly quiet at night a bonus for some I am sure. Overall this is a nice hotel and we had a very nice holiday. Pro’s – Quiet location, sea & pool view, great room, clean pool area, excellent pool bar. Cons – Strict pool rules, dead at night, reception staff unfriendly.”
“Perfect for a short stay !”
“I was excited to visit hesperia bristol playa again after first visiting with friends in 2017, however our trip was sadly disappointing. On first impression the room itself was dated, basic and not up to cleanliness standards expected. We were by no means expecting a luxury trip, as this is a budget hotel. However I feel regardless of this some effort should be made in terms of presentation. The photos of the hotel you see on the website did not reflect what we arrived to. The kitchen units had paint flaking off of them, making them look unsightly. There were no cushions/throws in an attempt to make the room look welcoming. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the floor corners thick with dirt. There is no cleaning service offered unless you pay extra – my fault for not reading the details fully but you’d expect the floors to be cleaned at least once in a week visit. Especially when dirty to begin with! On the plus side the pool was nice – the pool attendant always helpful in securing us a lounger and friendly staff at the bar. Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good and we will not be returning.”

Corralejo on Fuerteventura – Topography including position plan and island map

Information

Towns

>

Corralejo

Corralejo is, after Jandia/Morro Jable, the second largest tourist town on Fuerteventura. It is situated in the very north of the island. Corralejo is a buzzing town – the main attraction, however, is the protected dune area “El Jable”, which lies in the south of Corralejo.

Map of Corralejo

Information about Corralejo

Corralejo is situated in the north of Fuerteventura and is about 45 km away from the airport.

Formerly a small fishing village, the town has turned into the largest tourist centre in the north and the second largest one on the entire island of Fuerteventura. Corralejo belongs to the municipality of La Oliva and is particularly popular with British tourists. This can also be seen in the numerous English pubs and bars.

Corralejo possesses a historic town centre with charm. The proximity to the harbour and the narrow alleyways give the town a special air despite its size. The view of the neighbouring island “Los Lobos” also contributes to that.

The town is a buzzing place. Its centre is the large high street with many shops, restaurants, bars and discos. During the day, most people can be found on the beach and along the beach promenade.

Beach promenade near the old town centre of Corralejo

In the harbour, where both fishing boats and yachts but also big ferries can be found, there is always something going on. Many people use the harbour as a starting point for excursions to Lanzarote or Los Lobos. See also “Trip to Lanzarote”.

View of the harbour in Corralejo

Corralejo has plenty to offer for visitors looking for action: boat trips, surfing, catamaran trips, mountain biking, tennis, sea-angling, jet skiing, etc.
Corralejo’s nightlife is the best one in all towns of Fuerteventura.

In Corralejo, there are many hotels, bungalow resorts and apartments. The building boom still goes on. The further away you walk from the harbour and the town centre, the less ambience has Corralejo. In the south of Corralejo, one big hotel follows the other. The hotels and apartments are mostly low (concerning the number of floors). Exceptions are the two RIU hotels, which are situated directly in the dunes. These two hotels are considered as “eyesores” of Fuerteventura. They were built in the middle of the dunes and are very high.

RIU hotel directly in the Corralejo dunes on Fuerteventura

The above-mentioned dune area in the south of Corralejo is called “El Jable” and has been under protection since 1982. The main road FV1 leads to Corralejo through the dune area. On foot, the route from the accommodation in Corralejo to the dunes can be exhausting since you will have to walk between 3 to 5 kilometres, depending on where your accommodation is located.

Dune area “El Jable” near Corralejo

A further attraction was built only recently: “BAKU Waterpark” – a large park with water slides.
In “BAKU Waterpark”, every Monday and Friday the weekly market takes place. The “BAKU Waterpark” is situated in the southern part of Corralejo, almost at the outskirts.

Entrance “BAKU Waterpark” in Corralejo

Corralejo beach

Corralejo beach is divided into two large sections.

There are many small beach bays in Corralejo town. Here the largest bathing bay is about 200 m long. These beaches are popular with both tourists and locals. The sand is light-coloured and fine. From nearly all bays, you will have a beautiful view of the harbour and Los Lobos. There are both water sports facilities and beach bars and restaurants in order to buy a snack.

Furthermore, there is the large dune area “El Jable” (about 20 sqkm), which is situated south of Corralejo. Here you will find mainly RIU hotel guests but also many “day guests” (e. g. surfers or day-trippers). The dune area is perfect for sun worshippers and beach aficionados. Another attraction of this area is the view of Los Lobos. Naturism is also done and tolerated.

Shopping and restaurants

Almost no other place on Fuerteventura offers such a large number of restaurants, bars, shops and shopping centres as Corralejo.

Here you will find both international restaurants and small, romantic fish restaurants along the promenade.

The centre of action is the high street. Here there are most shops and some car rentals.

High street in Corralejo

Shopping street in Corralejo

In the evening, you can choose between many bars and discos. The “Waikiki”, which lies directly in one of the small beach bays, has been “in” for years.

The weekly market, which used to take place along the high street, can now be found in BAKU Waterpark every Monday and Friday.

Bus/Taxi

There are many bus stops in Corralejo. Bus schedules can be found in island magazines, amongst others, or you just ask the bus driver. From Corralejo, there are connections to Puerto del Rosario, La Oliva, Lajares, and El Cotillo.

History

In the 17th century, Corralejo was a pirate and smuggler port; after that it was a small fishing village. Tourism started around 1967, when, for example, the first apartment resort “Hoplaco” was built.
In the 70s, the “crimes of architecture” in the dune area (Riu hotels) were built. The big building boom started in 1980.

CORRALEJO

Corralejo, once a quiet fishing port in the north of Fuerteventura, over the past twenty years has become the second largest resort on the island (after the Jandia peninsula), while maintaining the lifestyle and atmosphere of a small provincial town.
In contrast to the southern tourist centers “specializing” in tourists from Germany, in Corralejo the predominance of Germans is not so obvious: the northern coast is also popular among the British.
Center of city life – Avenida Generalisimo Franco. Most of the shops, restaurants and bars are located here.

Panoramic plan of Corralejo, 1999
[ Enlarge the photo, 198 KB ]

The name of the resort with coral reefs (which are not here in sight) is not connected in any way and is formed from the word “corral” – a fence for pets.
Corralejo is a more youthful and lively resort than the Jandia peninsula. Of course, taking into account the amendments to the specifics of Fuerteventura as a whole.

Corralejo – low-rise town.

Small beaches in a densely built-up town are always crowded. But in the south, immediately beyond it, the ten-kilometer coast of Corralejo begins – the most beautiful beach of the island. It is he who attracts tourists to this area of Fuerteventura.

City beach (I-29 square on the panoramic plan).

Along the coast is the highway to Puerto del Rosario, on one side of which stretches a beach with white sand, turquoise water and a view of Lobos Island, and on the other, the dunes of El Jable (El Jable). A wide strip of moving sands occupies 27 square meters. km, but it seems endless and sometimes resembles the Sahara. There are many rare species of birds here (famous canaries, hoopoes, Egyptian vultures, etc.), and a few years ago a fossil ostrich egg was found.

From left to right: Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort,
Hotel Riu Palace Tres Islas, Lobos Island.

Since 1982, the unique landscape has been taken under protection and declared a reserve: any construction is prohibited on its territory. Only two hotels – Riu Oliva Beach Resort and Riu Palace Tres Islas, located separately a few kilometers from the town of Corralejo, rise alone among the sands. These largest resort hotels were built before El Jable received the status of a natural park.

Tourists who decide to choose the northern coast of Fuerteventura as their holiday destination, we offer accommodation in Corralejo in the cozy Hisperia Bristol Playa 3* hotel.

In the northern part of Corralejo there is a port from where you can go on a boat trip, visit the neighboring islands of Lobos and Lanzarote, take part in deep sea fishing.

On the streets of Corralejo.

At the port. Embankment. El Jable Dunes Natural Park.

The distance from Corralejo to the airport is 39 km.
Estimated taxi fare is €33 (see How to get there).

Fuerteventura

order

Fuerteventura is the second largest island in the Canary archipelago. It is perfect for both a relaxing family holiday and active entertainment (diving, windsurfing, etc.). Several dozen excellent beaches with golden and black volcanic sand attract many travelers here.

The main resorts of Fuerteventura are Costa Calma, Playa Matorral and Morro del Jable on the Jandia Peninsula, as well as Playa de Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste. In the village of Costa Calma, the picturesque coast of Sotavento originates with beautiful secluded beaches. Windsurfing fans come here from March to October, as during this period the conditions are especially favorable for it. Not far from Costa Calma is one of the world’s largest windsurfing centers – Pro Center Rene Egli, so prestigious water sports competitions often take place in these places.

Morro del Jable is another popular holiday destination in Fuerteventura. Once it was a small fishing village, and today it boasts a fairly developed tourist infrastructure. A colorful historical center with old houses and a beautiful harbor, numerous shops and restaurants where you can taste a variety of fish dishes – these are perhaps the main advantages of Morro del Jable.

Fuerteventura, Spain

The resort of Playa Matorral has a lot to offer. On the central shopping street you will find a variety of shops, cafes and bars. The city also has a high lighthouse and a small zoo where you can admire tropical birds, kangaroos and other animals.

For a tour of Fuerteventura, many choose Caleta de Fuste, located just 9 km from the airport. The local beach is perfect for families with children, as it is quite gentle and protected from strong winds. In terms of entertainment, Caleta de Fuste has a cinema, great restaurants, bars with live music, bowling, and not far from the resort there is even a golf course. In addition, Caleta de Fuste is great for divers, windsurfers and fishing enthusiasts. Fans of a more relaxing holiday can go on a boat trip and watch whales and dolphins.

The most beautiful beach of Fuerteventura is located next to the resort of Playa de Corralejo. The 10-kilometer long golden sandy coast attracts many leisure-seekers… and nudists, as it is considered one of the best places in the world for those who want to sunbathe without a bathing suit. Part of the coast, whose beautiful dunes resemble the Sahara, has been declared a protected area. Here you can see many species of birds – for example, Egyptian vultures, canaries and hoopoes. Any construction in the reserve is prohibited, so in this place you can enjoy truly pristine nature. The city itself has several beaches, shops, bars and restaurants. From the local port, you can go on a boat trip or deep sea fishing.

Fuerteventura, Spain

Beach holidays in Fuerteventura can be diluted with interesting excursions. It is worth visiting the capital of the island, Puerto del Rosario, in the picturesque village of Betancuria, located in the crater of an extinct volcano, as well as in Antigua, which houses one of the famous old mills. Inside the mill, there is now an interactive Cheese Museum, where you can learn about the production process of Canarian cheese, learn how to cook local delicacies, and, for example, milk a virtual goat. Goats, by the way, are the real symbol of the island. You can see herds of these animals in almost any part of the resort.

During your holiday in Fuerteventura, it is also interesting to visit the village of La Oliva, which is famous for its architecture. The old governor’s mansion, the church of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria with its elaborately carved door, the art center where you can see paintings by local painters are just some of the sights of the village. Not far from La Oliva is the Cueva del Llano Cave, which is over a million years old. Another interesting village is La Lajite. Here we recommend visiting the Camel Oasis Zoo and stroll through the botanical garden, where more than 2,500 species of cacti grow.

Fuerteventura, Spain

The choice of hotels in Fuerteventura is quite wide, so it will not be difficult for you to find a hotel that meets all modern requirements in terms of comfort and service. The popular resort of Playa de Corralejo, the quiet Playa Matorral, the family Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma – a paradise for windsurfers, the picturesque Morro del Jable – the choice is yours. In any case, you will have a wonderful holiday “in the Canary way”!

Restaurante Puerto de la Peña (Calle del Puerto Azul, 4, Ajuy)

The restaurant opened in 1992. It is located in the small village of Akhuy (sorry). And this is one of those cafes if you want to dine in perfect silence. They serve excellent local food. And there are also delicacies, fried goat meat, raw fish and other interesting things that have made the small restaurant quite famous throughout the island. True, these unusual dishes are more expensive. Plus, when you dine here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the harbor.

The hotel is located near the sea, in a very picturesque place. The cafe prepares healthy food at affordable prices, and there is also quite a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Be sure to try the desserts here. There is also a menu for vegetarians.

This excellent value for money restaurant offers a varied menu of Asian cuisine. Sushi, noodles, meat dishes, fish dishes, plus desserts. Well, what else do you need?

Pizzeria La Mamma (Calle del Anzuelo, 4, Corralejo)

Pizzeria in Corralejo offers its visitors not only pizza, but also a good selection of dishes from Argentina, Spain, and other countries. Homemade pasta and pizza, however, are still favorites among locals and visitors. Good prices, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is located in close proximity to the beach, which is even better if you don’t have the strength to go anywhere.

Cueva de Roma (14 Calle Nuestra Senora Del Carmen)

Los Pescaditos (Av de la Marítima 10, Corralejo)

The restaurant with a magnificent view of Lobos Island is considered one of the best British restaurants on the island. This is a gay friendly restaurant by the way, look out for the rainbow colored flag at the entrance. In addition to British cuisine, here you can taste traditional food, and it is best to sit on the terrace – it’s very cool when it’s sunny outside. This restaurant is quite famous, so there are quite a lot of tourists here and not very many locals.

El Patio de Lajares (Calle la Cerca 9, Lajares)

The restaurant is located in the north of the island. Relaxed, cute, away from the bustling resorts, this wonderful little restaurant offers a great menu and delicious food. The village of Lajares is not on the coast. And it is quite beautiful in itself, so visiting this restaurant is a great start to a tour of the village. People are starting to sniff out about the place, so it is likely that in the late afternoon all the tables will be occupied. If possible, book a table.

El Toston Bar and Restaurant (Old Harbor, El Cotillo)

Where to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Marca Canaria

At Marca Canaria we propose a selection of 7 perfect places to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the freshness and flavour of the best local ingredients, creativity based on tradition, the experience of great chefs and professionals and the recognition of the customers. Sit back and enjoy the experience. Of course, we recommend that you book first!

Sabela

We open the list with the centrally located Sabela Bar & Food MarketSabela Bar & Food Market, on Calle Numancia in the capital, a café bar specialising in very attractive, healthy and tasty breakfasts, which are also delivered to your door in attractive boxes. With plenty of fresh, local produce on the menu, Sabela is without doubt the perfect place for brunch, and their exquisite tostas with a thousand and one ingredients are famous. And if you want to have lunch or dinner, their tapas and gourmet products are irresistible, such as the squid croquettes, the salad with mackerel, the sardines in ratatouille with flower cheese or their “perritos falderos” (their delicious hot dogs) among many others. A very well selected wine list and an original decoration make Sabela’s one of the best places to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. As they like to say, he who knows, Sabela.

San Sebastian 57
San Sebastian 57 is led by Cantabrian chef Alberto González Margallo, best chef in the Canary Islands 2018. A very subtle cuisine, which fuses tradition and modernity based on the best fresh and seasonal produce. You can choose between two atmospheres, the classic and sophisticated or the more informal and relaxed atmosphere. Among its dishes, you have the opportunity to try its black wreckfish or tuna tartar, its suckling pig and lamb. They have an executive menu with two starters and two mains plus dessert, which vary every week with the best local produce. The wine list couldn’t be better, as the restaurant is home to El Gusto por el Vino, the wine cellar with thousands of wine references: choose your favourite wine and for eight euros it will be served in the restaurant. Other very typical dishes at San Sebastián 57 are its squid, king crab and black garlic aioli; foie and almond micuit; grilled octopus with black potato foam, paprika de la vera and volcanic arbequina; scallop sirloin steak or suckling lamb shank. San Sebastián 57 is undoubtedly an ideal place to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is located on the street of the same name in the capital.

Tabernacle

Sagrario has a very cosy atmosphere, with fresh flowers, perfect for relaxing after a hectic day. Run by chef Sagrario Pablo, it is without a doubt a restaurant with a very traditional base with local touches. Its very professional and impeccable service will recommend and help you choose from its varied menu. Sagrario’s gastronomic offer is of exceptional quality and includes, among many others, its wreckfish en papillon with leeks and carrots, its grandmother’s sirloin steak, tuna and salmon with extra virgin olive oil and volcanic salt, asparagus stuffed with baby asparagus with hollandaise sauce au gratin and beans with oxtail as a starter. Full of flavour, Sagrario is located on Guigou street in the capital.

Ethereal by Pedro Nel

A cosy and modern space, Ethereal is a real treat for the senses. It is located in the area of El Toscal, San Antonio street, and is run by the Colombian chef Pedro Nel Restrepo, which is evident in the culinary offer: a commitment to traditional, creative and Latin cuisine , with a touch of the Canary Islands. Among its varied offer, we highlight as an example of flavour and authenticity its meat empanadilla and sriracha sauce (very much from Medellín, Pedro Nel’s hometown), wreckfish with sweet potato or wild sea bass with warm vinaigrette and capers. Among the meats off the menu, the pork knuckle in its own juices stands out. Chosen as “Best Restaurant Project 2019” in the Canary Islands Top 10 Restaurants in its IX Edition, 2020. Etéreo also has a great professional team, dedicated to good service, that will make your experience unforgettable.

Solana

Nacho Solana (Arzar, Martín Berasategui, El Bulli) is a lover of the best cuisine and leads the heart of this original restaurant, run by Erika Sanz in the dining room, with a creative cuisine proposal in which the dishes are very carefully prepared, with very balanced textures and an explosion of flavours, made with the best raw materials. At Solana we recommend their tasting menu, and highlight incredible dishes such as the caramelised mille-feuille of foie mi-cuit, apple and smoked cheese; the 63º fried egg with truffle cream; their rice with pigeon thighs and mushrooms; the steak tartar with sweet mustard and black truffle ice cream and the Canarian fish with creamed spinach and sautéed mushrooms. Solana is a pleasure for the senses, without a doubt. It is located in Puerta Canseco street.

Aiko Sushi

Located on Calle Capitán Gómez Landero, Aiko Sushi is another exceptional offer if you are a fan of Japanese cuisine. It is a Japanese cuisine restaurant specialising in sushi tasting. With a very careful choice of raw materials and detailed presentation of the dishes, Aiko Sushi works magic with the dishes to achieve the best flavour. With a charming staff, this small and cosy restaurant (so we recommend booking in advance), is undoubtedly one of the best places to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Among a wide variety of dishes, we would highlight from their menu their crispy skin temaki, tiger maki, red tuna tartar, usuzukuri, sashimi, sama croquettes, salmon in tempura, horse mackerel tiradito or quail egg nigiris with truffle.

Jaxana

Right in the centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Jaxana has different spaces where you can enjoy different experiences. From its creative cocktail bar, presided over by a mural of a protective Asian demigod, where events are held from time to time, to the kitchen bar, in front of the open kitchen, where the waiters detail the permoners of the creative Asian dishes full of flavour. Another space is the reserved area, surrounded by latticework, also available for private events; the originally decorated dining room with backlit wooden wall and its cellar of excellent wines ( tastings of the best wines or creative cocktail masterclasses, afterworks with the best brands of spirits, tastings of premium beers are regularly held at Jaxana). Of course all these events are enlivened with the best Asian cuisine: Spéciale Daniel Sorlut ® oysters from No. 2, raised in salt water from Marennes and cold water from Normandy, nigiris, usuzukuri, tartares, maki sushi, dumplings, woks or their specialties in robatayaki will not disappoint you. An ideal place to eat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for lovers of Japanese cuisine, without a doubt.

Eating in Tenerife – Devour Tours

A lot of visitors traveling to Tenerife are more interested in enjoying its crystal clear waters and volcanic landscape than they are in exploring Canarian cuisine. Despite being one of the most popular islands in the Canaries, restaurants serving authentic dishes are hard to come by. Traditional food in Tenerife is rustic and simple, but the flavor combinations and native ingredients are certainly worth trying. The island’s produce is as varied as its terrain, with an abundance of fresh fish, wild meats, lots of maize and tropical foods like plantains. From neighborhood tabernas to kitchens turning out some of Spain’s most creative meals, Tenerife surely has restaurants that care about preserving the local gastronomy.

What to Try

Paps arrugadas con mojos: Probably the most famous dish from the Canaries, papas arrugadas are small local potatoes that are cooked in salt water until they are tender and the skin becomes arrugada, or wrinkled. Papas arrugadas are best accompanied with a green or red sauce called mojo. Mojos seem to be different no matter where you try them but the green variety tends to have flavors of garlic and green herbs while the red mojo is flavored with paprika and is usually spicy.

Almagrote: This cheese spread from La Gomera has made it’s way around the Canaries and even some parts of mainland Spain. Hard to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced it first hand, almagrote is both crumbly and creamy. The texture of this dish changes depending on who’s cooking, but the ingredients always consist of tomato, garlic, olive oil, paprika and hard cured cheese.

Morcilla dulce: Morcilla, or pig blood sausage, can be found in about every region of Spain. In the Canaries they make a sweeter variety with onion, almond, raisins and sugar among it’s list of ingredients, hence the appendage of the word dulce. Try it on its own or incorporated into other dishes like scrambled eggs.

Ropa vieja: The Canary Islands have a lot of soups in their cuisine, especially considering the warm climate, and ropa vieja is among its best. Literally translating to “old clothes”, ropa vieja is much better than it sounds, making use of shredded leftover meats stewed with chickpeas and local veggies.

A hearty dish of ropa vieja

Conejo en salmorejo: Not to be confused with the tomato based soup of southern Spain, this dish consists of rabbit stewed in a flavorful marinade of wine, vinegar, garlic and spices. For those who aren’t inclined to eat rabbit, you can also try more traditional proteins like chicken and tuna en salmorejo.

Cherne: One of the most common fish eaten in Tenerife, cherne is wreckfish, a large deep-water white fish. Cherne is often served grilled, and is mildly flavored and meaty, making it a good fish to try even if seafood “isn’t really your thing”.

Where to Eat in Tenerife

El Rincón de Juan Carlos: If you only had time for one meal in Tenerife, this should be the place you go to eat. Never mind that it’s not really near anything, the Padron brothers’ inventive take on Spanish cuisine will make it worth visiting. Don’t leave without ordering the rabo de toro dumplings, they are outstanding.

La Tasca de Enfrente: There is nothing about this place that says fancy, but it’s packed with the charm of an authentic neighborhood eatery. From its rough wooden beams to the menu of fuss-free things to eat, La Tasca de Enfrente is perfect for a cold beer and a cheap bite to eat.

La Hierbita: This restaurant combines a traditional atmosphere with typical Canarian cuisine. Located inside a house from the 19th century, a meal at la Hierbita is full of history. Portion sizes are huge so order a few things and share to make the most out of what the menu is offering.

La Concepción: An unexpected restaurant that feels more like a cafe, La Concepción is a nice stop, whether it’s for a full meal or a glass of wine while people watching on its charming pedestrian street. La Concepción’s relaxed atmosphere and playful menu, with ties to Canarian and Spanish gastronomy, make it the kind of place where it’s just plain fun to eat.

Los Roques: One of the top restaurants in the Canaries, as well as all of Spain, Los Roques has been making a name for itself with a modern approach to the use of local products and techniques. Although the food is quite expensive compared to other restaurants in Tenerife, it’s still well worth trying. For those who are more hesitant when it comes to spending, Los Roques offers an alternative menu during the day as Café Los Roques.

Casa Pache: If you like places that are random and quirky with food that tastes like a grandma is in the kitchen cooking, Casa Pache is where you should be. The menu here is full of stewed meats, fresh seafood and other typical dishes of the Canaries.

Calle La Verdad, 6, Puerto de la Cruz
more details here

El Cine: The fresh seafood at el Cine attracts locals and tourists to the point that there is regularly a line of people waiting to eat. The owner, Juan Carlos, can be found darting around checking on things but is never too busy to stop by and see how his customers are doing. Despite the crowds, service is quick and people always seem to leave happy.

Folelé: One of the only restaurants to serve Canarian food in the southern towns of Tenerife, Folelé is the perfect place to try out a range of local dishes and ingredients without leaving the beach. Try their cherne, served with sautéed veggies and a light saffron sauce.

Calle Juan Bariajo, 2, Los Cristianos

La comida de 10 y el servicio igual, tanto las hermanas, como el resto se nota que trabajan en un sitio espectacular con un magnífico chef a la cabeza y a su vez un buen director. De verdad merece mucha la pena salir del paseo ( todo comida “guiri”) adentrase en ese magnífico pasadizo y dejar se llevar por cualquier plato y/o sugerencia. Chicos y chicas la próxima vez volveremos!!!

Holà, Alors je suis venue avec mon chéri mangé dans ce restaurant que j’ai trouvé via cette application.
C’est simple je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce restaurant est classé seulement 16ème sur 340 .
Il devrait faire parti du TOP 5 minimum.
Les serveuses sympathiques , souriantes, très professionnels . Et un chef tout aussi sympathique et qui est excellent dans son domaine.
J’ai mis 5 étoiles parce que je peux pas en mettre 6 .
Je RECOMMANDE fortement ce restaurant il est caché dans une petite rue mais quand on vous servira vous verrez que peu importe l’emplacement quand on à un accueil et un repas aussi bon.
Bravo.
La comida es excelente muchas gracias à todos 🙏🏼

Sitio muy recomendado, alejado de la zona de más extranjeros si buscas un poco de tranquilidad. Las tapas muy buenas y con buenos vinos aunque es obvio el precio que pagas por la zona donde te encuentras. Una cosa de las que más hay que destacar la amabilidad del dueño y las camareros.

Ottimo posto con dei piatti particolari rispetto alla concorrenza della zona. Staff eccellente con una super Michela che vi sa consigliare le scelte da fare. Prezzi giusti per il cibo che vi viene offerto. È solo la locación che non si trova così facilmente, rimane un po nascosta alla vista. P.s. per la sera è meglio prenotare.

Ottimo ristorante con dei piatti molto particolari differenti dai soliti menù dell’isola. Staff efficiente simpatico e consigli azzeccati. Qualità sopra la media e prezzo giusto. Bisogna cercarlo e anche se ci sono le indicazioni sembra strano entrare in un ristorante passando per un androne con tavolo di biliardo

CroisiEurope repart à la découverte de l’archipel des îles Canaries cet automne !

Envoyer à un ami
Partager cet article

Après avoir passé la saison estivale en Corse, le prestigieux navire CroisiEurope MV Belle des Océans retourne direction l’Archipel des Canaries pour la saison automnale.

Rédigé par CroisiEurope le Lundi 12 Septembre 2022

Un itinéraire déroutant à la conquête des trésors cachés des Canaries en 8 Jours pour 6 Îles.

© CroisiEurope

Cette croisière est l’occasion idéale pour profiter de ses plages de sable noir, de sa nature imprévisible et désertique, de ses parcs nationaux classés au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO mais également de ses villages authentiques et de son histoire.

Sous un climat clément, CroisiEurope invite ses voyageurs au départ d’Arrecife (Lanzarote) bordé par les falaises grises, abruptes et imposantes qui offrent un spectacle majestueux.
Les passagers pourront partir à la découverte de la vallée des 1000 palmiers qui surplombe les plus beaux paysages de l’île et des terres qui apparaissent comme une véritable oasis.

CroisiEurope propose une excursion sur les traces de César Manrique, l’artiste le plus important de l’île. On lui doit la conception de la plupart des centres d’art, de culture et de tourisme de Lanzarote.

Le parc national de Timanfaya, l’une des principales attractions de l’île, offre une expérience inoubliable aux voyageurs.

Véritable musée à ciel ouvert, les passagers débarqueront ensuite à Rosario (Fuerteventura), première île de l’archipel à avoir émergé des profondeurs de l’océan Atlantique. On y découvre les mystères et les secrets de Fuerteventura.

Le MV Belle des Océans larguera ensuite ses amarres vers Las Palmas (Grande Canarie) retrouver l’île en forme de coquillage : terres fertiles au nord et grandes étendues désertiques au sud. Après avoir serpenté une partie de l’île de la Grande Canarie, les voyageurs pourront découvrir le cratère volcanique de Bandama.

La navigation se poursuivra vers San Sebastian (La Gomera), qui réunit une grande variété de paysages naturels et d’édifices nés de la main de l’Homme. Là-bas, l’exploitation des ressources naturelles y est restée compatible avec le respect et la préservation de la nature.

Le navire lèvera l’ancre à destination de Santa Cruz de La Palma, joliment surnommée « Belle Île » ou « île Verte » du fait de sa végétation luxuriante. L’occasion d’apercevoir un paradis de nature ainsi que des belvédères offrant des vues époustouflantes, des plages préservées et une capitale pleine de charme.

Enfin, Le MS Belle des Océans entamera sa dernière traversée en direction de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Principale porte d’entrée de l’archipel, Tenerife mérite le voyage pour son inépuisable palette de couleurs que livrent sa végétation et ses paysages.

Cette croisière de 8 jours est une opportunité exceptionnelle de découvrir l’archipel des Canaries en un seul et même voyage à bord d’un bateau à taille humaine sans avoir à défaire ses valises !

Ne passez pas à côté de nos offres exceptionnelles sur cette croisière avec jusqu’à 460€ de remise par personne ou le supplément single à 50% de remise.

29 best places, dishes and specialties for those who love food – “Food”

1.

Cider

Basques love cider as much as wine. It is poured into glasses with a thin long stream, beating from a wooden barrel – in this way the drink foams, because, unlike French cider, it is not carbonated. In Basque, the drink is called sagardoa, and the ciderries where these barrels stand and where tortillas with bacalhao and chulets, bone-in cutlets are served with cider are sagardotegi.

2.

Idiazabal

Pressed cheese made from unpasteurized, and therefore very fragrant milk, which is produced by sheep of the local Lacha breed.

3.

Pintxos

What is usually called tapas in the rest of Spain is called pintxos in the northern provinces – and especially in the Basque Country. The difference between these two types of snacks is already barely perceptible. In theory, pintxos is a combination of several small-sized ingredients (among which bread is almost obligatory) using a stick, pintxo. But now the stick is optional, and pintxos can be quite a solid dish, definitely not for a couple of bites. The rules with pintxos are the same as with tapas: drink a glass, eat a couple of pintxos in one place and move on.

4.

Pintxos Bar A Fuego Negro

Bar (31 de Agosto, 31) with witty pintxos that look like a hybrid of modern art and Japanese decorations. Olives with vermouth instead of pits are served in a quail egg pack, chips are served in a trash can or as a canvas on an easel, which comes with a brush and a palette of colorful sauces. For dessert, a chocolate zombie head with yogurt brains.

5.

Cod (Bakailao)

The main fish of Atlantic Europe, the Basques are usually stewed in a garlic-olive sauce pil-pil (bakailaoa pil-pilean).

6.

Atari Gastrotheque

Gastrotheque, actually a pintxos bar (Mayor, 18). Each pintxos (prices from one and a half euros) is like a decent sandwich or a solid snack: from jamon with bread to more intricate combinations like hake with raw yolk. They drink wine and beer.

7.

Marmitako

Fisherman’s stew with tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, onions and hot peppers.

8.

Restaurant Ni Neu

Restaurant (Avenida de la Zurriola, 1) made by IXO Group, which owns the famous San Sebastian Mugaritz Andoni Luis Aduriz (two Michelin stars, 6th in the list of the 50 best restaurants in the world). Relatively inexpensive – especially compared to Mugarits – with a well-stocked, boring kitchen. Located in the “Kursaal”, where the San Sebastian Film Festival takes place, so among the guests you can see Hugh Jackman and Penelope Cruz.

9.

Txangurro

Crab (more rarely sea urchin), chopped with parsley, onions, carrots and leeks, baked in breadcrumbs and served on the table in a Jesuit style in its own shell.

10.

Chokos

Closed culinary societies whose members can only be men. They strongly influenced what Basque cuisine has become for modern gastronomy. Previously, it was quite problematic for an outsider to get into a choco for dinner, now everything is not so strict. And on January 20, on the day of St. Sebastian, during the Tamborrada holiday, culinary societies open their doors to everyone.

11.

Restaurant Rekondo

A national treasure not only of the Basque Country but of Spain as a whole – Rekondo (Paseo de Igeldo, 57) has one of the largest wine cellars in Europe and the greatest collection of Spanish wines. There are a total of 127,000 bottles in the collection. The menu includes the freshest seafood: we recommend octopus and venerok with rice.

12.

Porrusalda

Soup-like vegetable stew with leeks playing the lead. Porrusalda is eaten hot and cold – as a main dish or as a side dish for stewed fish.

13.

Restaurant Mugaritz

Two-star Mugaritz Andoni Luis Aduriz (Aldura Aldea, 20) in 2006 entered the top ten restaurants in the world – and is not going to leave it.

14.

Merluza (Legatz, merluza)

She is hake – the core of two Basque dishes: soup ttoro (ttoro) with mussels and langoustines and merlusa-a-la-koshkera (legatz koxkera, merluza a la koxkera) – mussel stew, venerok, asparagus, green peas and hake.

15.

Piperrada

Green peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions, as well as eggs, are stewed into a Basque-flagged stew.

16.

Bokado Restaurant

Restaurant attached to the Aquarium (Plaza Jacques Cousteau, 1), San Sebastian’s spectacular aquarium. The menu includes not only the freshest fish and seafood, but also venison with wood pigeons. Excellent views from the terrace of the city and the bay of La Concha.

17.

Patxaran

Thick sweet and sour liqueur infused with anise and blackthorn.

18.

Txakoli

Very acidic, nose-punching white or rosé wine is one of the main Basque drinks.

19.

Bar Bodega Donostiarra

Bar in the Gros quarter, next to the snow-white sandy horseshoe beach of Zurriola (Peña y Goñi, 22), where Chef Martin Berasategui likes to go. The interior has not changed since the 1930s, and classic pintxos are served: hildas (tuna, anchovies and hot peppers on skewers), tortilla and hamon habugo with olives and chakoli wine.

20.

Bar Zeruko

You won’t surprise anyone with ostentatious pintxos in San Sebastian, but in Zeruko (Pescadería, 10) almost jewelry works are displayed on the counter: halves of sea urchins filled with mousse from them, glasses with anchovies and olive oil ice cream , as well as something similar to oriental sweets – this is blood sausage with foie gras breaded with pistachio crumbs. All this beauty is mercilessly swept away by visitors who are not transferred here, despite the high prices by the standards of ordinary bars.

21.

Cod meatballs

A good way to combine cod and potatoes, iconic of the Pyrenees.

Bar Borda Berri

Like all good bars, Borda Berri (Fermín Calbetón, 12) on the Fermín Calbetón restaurant street in the Old Town is always full of cheerful and beautiful people. Take a glass of rioja and pintxos: idyazabal risotto, battered cod with romesco sauce, veal cheek in red wine or entrecote with foie gras.

23.

Bar Sport

Next to Borda Berri is another good place, Sport (Fermín Calbetón, 10). Very simple – here they watch competitions noisily on TV, eat standing up and, as usual, litter a lot. The best pintxos are with black pudding.

24.

Bar La Cuchara de San Telmo

Saint Telmo’s Spoon (Treinta y Uno de Agosto, 28) was opened by Alex Montiel, a student of the master of Basque haute cuisine Martin Berasategui. The place for San Sebastian is revolutionary – no pintxos on the counter, appetizers are cooked to order, and they can be, for example, quail in Modena vinegar, foie gras with apple or risotto with cuttlefish ink and goat cheese. Especially popular are veal cheeks poached in wine (carrilleras de ternera), for which many local beauties are ready to sacrifice their figure again and again.

25.

Akelaŕe Restaurant

Since opening his own restaurant (Paseo Padre Orcolaga, 56) in 1975, Pedro Subihana has received three Michelin stars, dozens of awards, written a dozen books and starred in one and a half thousand TV cooking shows.

26.

Restaurant Arzak

Hereditary chef Juan Marie Arzak turned his grandfather’s restaurant Arzak (Avenida del Alcalde José Elósegi, 273) in San Sebastian from just good into a cult – and now his daughter Elena continues the business with success. Three Michelin stars, 8th in the list of the best in the world.

Restaurant Martín Berasategui

Critics argue fiercely about which of the local restaurants is the best, but ordinary gourmets almost unanimously award the first place to Martín Berasategui (Loidi Kalea, 4, Lasarte-Oria). Martin Berasategui now has more Michelin stars than any other Spanish chef – two of his establishments in Barcelona and Tenerife are marked, but he spends most of his time in his signature restaurant in the suburbs of San Sebastian (three stars). In addition to the gourmet but unintelligent food – something like grilled solenoid with clams and potato juice foam – visitors are impressed by the extremely attentive service. It is not easy to get to dinner with Martin, but you can always try your luck, especially in the off-season, when a table can sometimes be offered almost for tomorrow.

29.

Basque pepper salad on white breadcrumbs

One of the most common types of appetizer in Spain – but in Spanish cookbooks it often has a Basque connection. This appetizer is stupid and wasteful to cook for one. It’s strange to fry a third of a pepper. And the taste gets better, the more pepper, oil and garlic converge in one container. Therefore, it makes sense to start at the rate of at least four people.

The restaurant offers a single tasting menu that combines Basque flavors with international influences from Italy, Argentina and Japan. The chef, Paulo Airaudo, is Argentinean and Italian, hence the foreign connections.

The best restaurants in Los Cristianos, Las Americas and Adeje

The tourist area is not the right place to look for tasty and inexpensive food. Here they cook for a stream and add a few euros to each dish. Well, what did you want? Tourist centre. We advise you to drive to Arona, Los Abrigos, La Caleta or Tahao, where all the cafes are more interesting, and the food is tastier and cheaper.

For rabbit and excellent chicken, come to Otelo in Adeje, near Barranco Infierno.

Good reviews about Italian restaurant Locanda Italiana in Los Cristianos and Spanish Tasca Medeteranea. Both establishments are located on the same street and belong to the same owners.

Many people like El Cine in Los Cristianos.

Miishi sushi club and Tony Roma’s – prices are quite high, delicious.

Good restaurant El Comedor. For a set lunch 13 euros.

Arona’s Best Restaurants

For authentic Canarian food and not overpaying for the tourist zone label, head from Adeje and Los Cristianos to nearby Arona, where there are plenty of delicious cafes, bars and family restaurants.

La Brasa meat restaurant – delicious grilled steaks. Located on the highway between Guasa and Buzanda, house 371. The average check is 30-50 euros per person.

The best fish restaurants and markets in Tenerife

Fish restaurant El Rinconcito de Hilario in San Miguel de Abona . One of the best fish restaurants in Tenerife and a “secret” place! Outside nothing unusual, but inside great service and a great selection of seafood.
A tray of fresh fish will be brought before ordering, and you choose what to cook and how.
Be prepared to spend time in line or book a table in advance.
Average prices, large portions and very tasty.

Family restaurants in Tahao town. If you want to try fish cuisine, then come here and choose what and how to cook. We recommend dishes “a la plancha” – on the grill. The most promoted is Agua y sal, but there are many others around if everything is occupied in the first one.

Cafes and restaurants on the promenade of Los Abrigos. It is closer to travel from the southern resorts, but the atmosphere is less authentic than in the fishing village of Tahao. The fish is fresh, the prices are average.

You can buy fresh fish from the stalls in Las Galletas and Los Abrigos from Tuesday to Saturday. You need to arrive in the morning. You can always eat seafood in neighboring cafes.

There are fish restaurants in La Caleta from the side of Adeje, but Tahao and Los Abrigos are more atmospheric. In La Caleta, choose Masia del Mar and La Vieja. It’s delicious, but expensive.
Better prices in Rincon el Varadero. Popular with locals.

In the yards you can find Migas – a favorite place for locals. Good coffee, delicious croissants and bocadijos.

If you come to El Medano for a walk, then you should go to the end of the promenade and have a bite to eat at Flashpoint. Great view of flying kiters and windsurfers. A very memorable place.

Elsewhere:

El Calderito de la Abuela is the 2016 winner of the Best Canarian Restaurant in Tenerife. It is located in Santa Ursula at 130 Carretera Provincial and is open from Tuesday to Saturday. From here you have a great view of the valley below. Don’t forget to book a table in advance, it’s always packed.

La Vieja fish restaurant in La Caleta – prices are high, but really tasty, and soup and pasta with seafood can be safely taken for two.

If you find yourself in Esperanza, then go to Las Rosas, La Sardinera or Tasca La Manta. Here is Casa Juan with German cuisine.

El Fronton is a great place to eat octopus in Almaciga. Neighboring Casa Africa, which is massively visited by tourists, cannot be compared.

Vegetarian restaurants and cafes in Tenerife and the Canary Islands

Unfortunately, there are very few specialized establishments for vegetarians in Tenerife, but we are constantly finding new ones and adding them to this list!

La Sopa – Healthy Food in Los Cristianos. The cafe is located near the church. There is a lot of everything vegetarian, a little vegan, but also meat and chicken.

This restaurant is distinguished not only by the variety of dishes, but also by affordable prices, since it is mainly aimed at local residents.

This Spanish island is simply amazing with the number of sights, among which there are ancient buildings, modern cultural centers, and amazingly beautiful natural … Open

The resort of Santa Cruz is home to the famous restaurant Kazan, which is the winner of a number of prestigious competitions. Considered the best Japanese restaurant in the Canary Islands, this restaurant is worth visiting for all fans of sushi, rolls and sashimi.

The best restaurants in the world: Mugarits – creative gastronomy • Spain • Europe • Countries

The path to the Mugaritz restaurant starts on the wide freeway in San Sebastian, which curves around the Atlantic Ocean and runs towards the French border. The road deviates towards a winding country road that leads to the rugged Basque Mountains. It’s almost Irish splendor! But the weather is unpredictable, like a wild animal: sometimes rain, sometimes hail with sharp gusts of wind. The sky is covered with dark clouds and, as if shreds of blue color, pushing them apart, the light penetrates, spilling gold over the slopes, igniting the flowers, shading the “death knell” of overcastness.

Mugaritz was founded in 1998 by one of the most famous and influential chefs of our time, Andoni Luis Aduriz. It was a risky pilot project that turned out to be eminently satisfying given that the restaurant received two Michelin stars (first in 2000, second in 2006), became synonymous with R+D, and when the definition of “restaurant” essentially ceased to exist in relation to Mugaritz . Authoritative newspapers and magazines of the world on their pages have recognized it as the most important gastronomic phenomenon on the world culinary scene. As Aduriz says about his offspring: “It’s something more …”. His transcendent approach to cooking, which combines innovative ideas, creative projects, creativity, is unique. It is a sophisticated and endless space between art, science and cuisine. The philosophy of cooking at Mugaritz is based on the interpretation of natural gifts, the maximum enhancement of the flavors of fresh products, intricate technology. “Our food goes much further than taste or pleasure – I aim to create an attachment tool.”

The restaurant is located in the town of Renteria (a municipality in the province of Gipuzkoa, part of the autonomous community of the Basque Country), or rather, on the border of the cities of Errenteria (Renteria) and Astigarraga, a 20-minute drive from the center of San Sebastian. Mugaritz – in Basque means “border oak” – a real tree similar to a fairy oak that grows on the border separating the cities of Errenteria and Astigarraga.

A stone path leads to a parking area overlooking mowed meadows and haystacks. The restaurant is housed in a restored hilltop farmhouse with a red tiled roof, walls and wooden beams buried under glossy green ivy. From the parking lot, the kitchen can be seen through a panoramic window: bright and warm with original pendant lamps that look like silver bells. It is relatively small, but at the same time spacious, very modern, full of activities. After a major fire that happened in 2010, Mugaritz was able to rise from the ashes, was completely rebuilt into a beautiful complex, which also includes an amazing herb garden, a wonderful paved courtyard surrounded by greenery, filled with sweet country air, in which guests can stroll, taste drinks before dinner.

Absolutely everything at Mugaritz is thought out to the smallest detail, from the specially crafted barbecue smell that comes out of the restaurant. It is designed to remind approaching visitors the smell of childhood. The interior decoration is dominated by wood, the walls are finished with raw wood paneling, which gives the space an open, cozy feeling.

The dining room, which can accommodate up to 50 people at any given time, is divided into sections by small screens and has tables widely spaced. Screens create the illusion of romantic solitude, or better to say confessional mood. Only some tables are covered with white tablecloths, others are not, eschewing any hint of the restaurant’s hierarchy or any hint of the food that awaits diners. Aduriz explains: “We are striving to go beyond the tradition that curtails our freedom.” And the food at Mugaritz is supposed to shock, surprise, delight, using what Aduriz calls “trompley – culinary tricks for the eyes.”

An incredible team of 35 chefs in the kitchen conjures up amazing and complex dishes. The wine list is impressive. It is incredibly extensive with a huge range of Spanish wines, excellent German Rieslings. The wines are grouped by features, not by origin.

Service in the restaurant, in addition to being attentive and highly professional, is based on a deep understanding of each dish. Of course, this indicates that the attendants are well aware of the work of the kitchen.

Very special and creative cooking methods clearly speak of Aduriz’s passion for botany. Dishes include wild flowers and plants. But the most prominent role in avant-garde food is played by herbs and spices, brilliantly illustrating naturalness, confirming the purity of flavors.

While diners are comfortably seated and deciding what to order, Mugaritz sets them a difficult task…

They are not offered a menu until they are treated to a personalized collection of approximately 20 dishes. The waiter will first ask if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies to certain foods. Some creations “play” with aroma, texture, taste, others are designed to be literally provocative, tell a story or evoke certain emotions. The restaurant’s menu is deeply rooted in the pastoral environment that is palpable throughout Mugaritz. The dishes illustrate the diners’ environment through innovative techniques and “culinary tricks for the eyes”. The first six courses are offered to be eaten without cutlery, with the hands, for sensory purposes.

A well-known Mugaritz dish copied by many restaurants today is “stones”. In front of the customers on the table, it seems, are real stones on the sand in a small saucer with aioli, gray-white, pockmarked, with dark spots, shimmering with a purple sheen. They are slightly heavy in weight and warm to the touch, with a hard surface. But after you gnaw through the “stones”, a soft, tender, slightly steamy filling appears, and you instantly realize that it is actually a potato (the tubers are covered with edible kaolin paste and glazed over low heat). The taste of edible “stones” is less important than the five seconds that you spend in a state of pause, I wonder how it will be if you really decide to eat a stone – what it will taste like. Definitely need to be brave,” says the chef.

The gastronomic offerings are essentially combined into two menus that represent the essence of Mugaritz philosophy and cuisine, offering either to submit to the path that the restaurant’s chefs will define, or, figuratively speaking, become a participant in your own rebellion.

In the world of modern haute cuisine, the cuisines of those Michelin-starred restaurants are being severely tested in a kind of war between the artificial and the sublime, approximation and authenticity, extreme dictatorships and imperfect oligarchies, between dishes served with miniaturized affectations transmitted in designer settings, and dishes created with perfect artistic craftsmanship that defy our senses and remain in our memory forever. Of course, the question – disappointment or transcendence – should be asked at the doorstep of any such restaurant, given that paying for each dish will have to pay a very considerable price.

Tenerife – Hierro – Gomera – Manamana

You can see and compare the three Canary Islands without moving from hotel to hotel, sail and feel the full power of the Atlantic Ocean

The journey starts on the Canary Island

Tenerife , in San Miguel Marina, 15 km from Tererife Sur Airport (TFS). Guests are accommodated on a catamaran, we buy food for the transition.
Dinner of your choice, on board or in a restaurant and walk along the ocean.

Second day – Los Cristianos
The first leg of the journey is short, downwind, to the warmest and most popular place on the island –

Los Cristianos . Three hours sailing around the southern part of Tenerife, past the Yellow Mountain volcano.
In Los Cristianos we swim, dine and watch the sunset. You can land on the shore and get into a fun mess of vacationers. This part of Tenerife is called the “Golden Mile” for the super-popular hotels and apartments, where summer continues all year round.

Third day – We leave Tenerife and go to El Hierro. It is the westernmost of all the Canary Islands. Previously, the “zero meridian” passed here. The population of Hierro is only 16 thousand people. This island will not leave you indifferent.
On the way we will admire the dolphins, if we are lucky we will catch tuna and eat sashimi.

The 65 mile crossing will take about 12 hours. So we will leave before dawn, so that late in the evening we will come to Hierro and stand in the marina de la Estaca.

Fourth day El Hierro by car
Hierro is the youngest of the Canary Islands. Half of the island is covered in black lava. The La Frontera plateau is surrounded by a mountain edge 1 km high.

In the center is a pine forest and meadows surrounding the Garoe tree, which is able to collect water from low-lying clouds. There are not many sandy beaches, but you can swim all year round, on either side of the island there are natural pools in the rocks or bays. Hierro grows pineapples, bananas, almonds and grapes. The most interesting thing will be to take a car and drive around interesting places.
Read more about the island of El Hierro here.

If guests really like El Hierro, we can increase the parking on the island by one day, so that there is enough time to see all the interesting things and walk.

Fifth day — sailing to our third island, La Gomera.
The crossing will take about 7 hours, so we will arrive in the fertile valley

Valle Gran Rey only in the evening.
Anchoring at the foot of a sheer cliff. The fishing village is famous for its fish restaurants with the freshest seafood. The side dish is usually served with wrinkled Canarian potatoes and baked peppers.

The atmosphere in this spa area is the most relaxing. For tourists there are a variety of shops, bars, an eco-farm with vegetables and fruits right from the garden.

Sixth day — sightseeing tour of the island of Gomera.
Gomera is a small round island, one day is enough for a cursory inspection. You can rent a car and drive around all the interesting places: picturesque villages, viewing platforms, an ancient spring.

Dine in an authentic restaurant in the mountains and climb to the highest point of the island – Alto de Garajonay. From the top of the mountain you can see almost the entire island and three neighboring ones – Tenerife, Palma and Hierro. And in ancient times, sacrifices took place here.

The highlight of the route is the Mirador de los Abrantes, a restaurant with a glass bay window, and behind it are bright red dunes, a product of soil erosion.

Seventh day – Puerto Santiago
Having calmly bypassed Homera from the south, we will anchor in a wild bay.

There are many caves in the sheer cliff where the children of the sun live. They go naked, burn a fire, swim, fish. Not all of them are homeless; for many, this type of vacation is a change after city life.

Eighth day — San Sebastian de la Gomera
Gomera’s tour will culminate in a visit to the capital San Sebastian. Here we are standing in the marina, in the very center of this small and very cozy city.

The inhabitants of Homera are justifiably proud of the fact that it was from Homera that Christopher Columbus set off on his voyage. The church has a painting describing the expedition to discover America, and next to it is a small museum of Columbus.

Restaurants, parks, souvenir shops, the beach – in San Sebastian you will always find something to do. Late in the evening you can wander through the bars.

Day 9 – Marina San Miguel, Tenerife
We finish our route in the same place where we started – in Tenerife.

Some lovely restaurants and of course Harry’s bar. Opposite is the biggest front of a hard rock cafe I have seen.
Best seen at night to best appreciate the lights and the fountains.

Shopping in Tenerife – Shopping

Hola, amigos! How is your mood? The New Year holidays are already over and people are gradually returning to their normal rhythm of life, but the fun begins in Tenerife! After the celebration of Catholic Christmas, mass sales started on January 7th. This women’s paradise will continue until March 6, and discounts by the end of sales will reach 80%!

After reading a thousand articles on the Internet and visiting many forums, it becomes clear that the reviews about shopping in Tenerife are not unambiguous. It must be taken into account that the assortment on the island is significantly different from the mainland, and if you are used to the abundance of “European” sales, then here it will seem rather meager to you. I take it much easier, why get upset over trifles?

Let’s take a better look at the main plus – prices are lower than in Russia and Europe. This also applies to luxury brands (Armani, Prada, D&G) and middle-class brands (for example: Zara, Mango, Springfield), and if you wish, you can find interesting things among little-known manufacturers. Prices for perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol and tobacco products are generally lower than in duty free.

For vacationers in the south of the island (most tourists), the nearest place for shopping will be the famous “Golden Mile” (Spanish: Avenida de las Americas) in Las Americas. Here you can find boutiques with branded items, as well as many small shops. In fact, this street has collected all the shops “for tourists” and, before you go to the capital, look around, as they say, on the spot.

Near Safari, within walking distance, there are a couple of shopping centers. On the left there is a Zara and Springfield store with a very good assortment and prices more attractive than Russian ones. And on the right, Bershka offers a large selection of women’s clothing (so that the guys do not get bored, there is also a men’s department, however, three times smaller than the women’s, but is that bad? In general, take a walk along the whole street once and you will immediately understand whether you need to go shopping in other places.

Location: Centro Comercial Safari, Avenida las Américas, 5, 38660 Arona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (View on Google Maps)

The territory of the complex is huge, it accommodates 70 stores, a Hyper Dino grocery hypermarket, two playgrounds with figures of heroes from famous cartoons, a children’s sports town and small attractions. Many parents arrange birthday parties for their children there and I took photos of these holidays a couple of times.

For tired visitors, 17 restaurants, bars, snack bars are located throughout the shopping center – just choose! Moreover, the central part of the complex and the entire second floor are open-air. From nine in the evening, live music plays on the second floor and performances are arranged.

Shop opening hours: 10:00 to 22:00

Plaza del Duque – chasing brands

In the same Costa Adeje there is a luxury shopping center – a small Plaza del Duque (Spanish: Plaza del Duque), it also works seven days a week. It is positioned, of course, as a luxury one, but many believe that the prices are too high, and the assortment is not pleasing with abundance. My friends and I didn’t buy clothes and stuff there, we only looked into the souvenir shop a couple of times, and the girls into perfumes and cosmetics. You can walk and see if you are nearby, no more. Some of the brands represented are: Armani Jeans, Anna Rachele, Belmar, Pandora, Paris Glamour, Savy, Esprit, Marccain, Mango (out of the blue!), Planet Fashion Kids, Escada, Elisabetta Franchi, Porche Design.

Location: Plaza Playas del Duque, s/n,38660 Costa Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (View on Google Maps)

Santiago Park 6 – warm-up shopping

Santiago Park 6 (Centro Comersial Parque Santiago 6) is another modern shopping center located in Los Cristianos. On the ground floor there is a large Mercadona grocery store and a huge H&M department. Further, in principle, everything is standard: a large food court, parking, a playground and shops. More than 150 brands are represented: the already named H&M, Monton, Baltman, Geox, Savy, Adidas Porsche Design Sport, Tenerife Pearl. Open seven days a week.

Location: Avenida Chayofita, Arona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (View on Google Maps)

Grand Sur – a classic of the genre

Another shopping center, more like Russian shopping centers is called Gran Sur. Under the roof of a two-story building, 49 shops, a Mercadona grocery supermarket, cafes and restaurants, departments with various services and a cinema are collected, and outside there is a parking lot for 500 cars. In my opinion, the range there is poor. It is located in Fañab behind the TF1 motorway, there is also a bus stop Torviscas – Fañabe (Salida Toviscas – Fañabe). Of the brands represented: Stradivarius, Springfield, Women’Secret, Inter Sport, there is also a department of Adeslas, McDonald’s, a tobacco shop, a department of mobile operators, in general, a complete set.

Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 22:00

Supermarket opening hours:

Location: Calle Lisboa nº2, Torviscas Alto, 38660 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (view on Google Maps)

Shopping in the north of Tenerife

Santa Cruz – on the way to the capital

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday

Carrefour: 9:00 am to 10:00 pm

Site: ccanazacarrefour.com

El Corte Ingles has a 10% discount for tourists, and to get it you just need to go to the information desk on the ground floor (don’t worry, there are Russian-speaking employees there). According to your passport, you will be given a buyer’s card, to which 10% of the purchase amount will be credited. You can use the card balance to pay for your next purchase, and then get interest on the card again, etc. Therefore, it is more profitable to make large purchases to get a big discount, gradually moving to cheaper ones.

El Corte Inglés is conveniently located for visitors without a car, it is next to the Santa Cruz bus station, and in addition to the usual public transport, there is also a free bus from Costa Adeje and Las Americas.

Location: Avenida Tres de Mayo, 7, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (view on Google Maps)

Meridian – and again classic

Meridiano (Centro Comersial Meridiano) is a classic shopping center with a cinema, a Carrefour hypermarket, many cafes, as well as shops with famous and not so brands.

Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 22:00

Location: Av. Manuel Hermoso Rojas, 16, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (view on Google Maps)

In fact, there are many more places for shopping in Tenerife. In Santa Cruz there is a whole pedestrian “Street of Shops” (Caye Castillo, Spanish Calle Castillo). Also interesting can be found in La Laguna, La Orotava and other cities, but it is simply impossible to cover them all in one article. The listed ones will be enough “for the eyes” even for devoted fans of many hours of shopping trips, but far from them fly to this wonderful island, right?

The Canary Islands are one of the most desired holiday destinations for Russians, and their heart, Tenerife, is a favorite place for shopping. This is where shopping lovers can get real pleasure. This is primarily due to the absence of a tax on imported goods. And the food line is much lower than in Spain, not to mention Russia!

In fact, there are taxes on the island, but the taxation system on all the Canary Islands (not only Tenerife) differs from continental standards in old Europe. The main difference is that there is no value added tax (21 percent in mainland Spain). But it is replaced by another tax levy, which is called REF and is 5% for almost all groups of goods. Therefore, shopping in Tenerife is 15% cheaper than on the continent. Compared to Moscow prices, the savings are about 20-30%. But there are some restrictions on the amount of purchases and weight, which we will discuss at the end of the article.

And now – a story about shopping in the three most famous resorts in Tenerife. In the north of the island – this is Santa Cruz, in the south – Las Americas and Costa Adeje.

Santa Cruz is ideal for shopping, which begins in the vicinity of Espana Square located in the city center. If there is no experience of doing this on your own, then it is best to take your soul off during special excursions (the cost of a mini-tour is € 9). As a rule, shopping center 9 becomes the center of shopping on the whole island.0186 “El Corte Ingles” (Russian tourists call it “GUM Tenerife”). There is amazing shopping throughout all seven floors of the building. You can profitably purchase products of traditional Spanish and world brands:

Less hyped, but no less high-quality “Adolfo Domingues”, “Carolina Herrera”, “Roberto Verino” and “Purficasion Garsia”.

The most shopping area in Santa Cruz is the pedestrian street Calle del Castillo (here is “El Corte Ingles” and other shopping centers). El Corte Ingles supermarket has a 10% discount on a coupon presented by foreigners. It is issued to tourists free of charge in local hotels for the entire duration of the holiday, simply because they are foreigners. Don’t forget to take advantage and save money while shopping in Tenerife! Nearby, near the bus station, there are shopping centers Meridiano and Tres de Mayo . Opposite the first, you should pay attention to the department store “Wehbe” (quality clothes), and the latter is located on the street of the same name, and next to it – high-quality electronics under the sign “Saturn”. Relatively expensive, but still very profitable purchases can be made in the store of the famous French retailer Carrefour Group.

Russian tourists note the five-story department store at the intersection of Calle del Pilar and Calle Valentin Sanz, where you can make bargains by purchasing goods from world brands. Here, for €100 you can buy men’s shoes, which in Moscow cost no less than €12,000-15,000. Products from Lacoste are 2-3 times lower than in Belokamennaya. Tourists claim that with the saved money you can arrange another tour to the Canary Islands!

Candelaria Square is home to locally produced souvenirs. And San Sebastian Street can attract attention with its covered market, where you can stock up on vegetables, fruits, flowers and spices relatively cheaply.

Carrefour is open from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm. The hypermarket of the same name (hereinafter referred to as H&M) is open from 9 to 22, the day off is Sunday.

“El Corte Ingles” is open seven days a week, from 9:30 to 21:30.

“Meridiano” opens at 10 am and is open until 10 pm.

“Tres de Mayo” is open from 10 am to 10 pm, except Sunday.

On Calle del Castillo shops are closed from 21:00, from 14:00 to 17:00 – traditional siesta. The same applies to most of the small shops throughout the island in terms of daytime relaxation.

“La Laguna” is located near Santa Cruz and is known as the largest hypermarket on the island with clothing shopping. Open from 10 am to 10 pm, except Sunday. H&M – from 9 to 22, the same, except Sunday. Opposite is the Decathlon sporting goods store.

Half a day of shopping in Las Americas gives complete satisfaction from the purchases made. Near the Conquistador Hotel there are several small shops selling clothes from The Benetton Group – inexpensive and in almost all sizes. The affordability of prices is explained by the presence of a small marriage, which, however, is quite tolerable, especially after the traditional Russian quality. You should also visit the shops of the apart-hotel “Parque Santiago”.

Not far from this resort is the Tenerife Pearl store, the name speaks for itself, the store is specialized in the sale of pearl jewelry.

Of all the shopping centers in Costa Adeje, we note “Gran Sur”. It is the only mall in the usual format of the large number of stores available here. But it is here that almost everything is collected under one roof, from shops, catering establishments and ending with H&M and a multiplex cinema. It works from 10.00 to 22.00, on Sundays and holidays – from 11.30 to 22.00.

Purchase amount and weight restrictions

If goods are exported in the amount of up to €1000 and up to 100 kilograms of weight, they must be declared in writing, they are subject to 20 percent of their customs value. For goods over €1000 and 200 kilograms of weight, a cargo declaration is drawn up. More details about all these nuances here.

A trip to Tenerife shops for shopping is very attractive for people, especially during the discount season. And all thanks to the fact that there is no import tax in the Canary Islands, prices for non-food products here are much lower than in stores in continental Spain or in Russia. On the island, you can profitably buy clothes of famous brands, perfumes, alcohol, household appliances. As you know, the Canary Islands are part of Spain, and just like on the mainland, seasonal and holiday sales are held on the islands, once in the Canary Islands, shopping in Tenerife can be very profitable and successful.

If you are determined and want to experience first hand what shopping in the north of Tenerife is like, head to the capital of the island – Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is here that stores of famous world and Spanish brands are located. Basically, people rush to the north for shopping, not only those who have arrived on vacation, but also the Canarians themselves, living in the south.

The largest commercial center on the island is “El Corte Ingles”, you should visit it first. On 10 floors there are shops with a wide range, including a large selection of the most famous world brands, where you can buy clothes, shoes, leather goods, children’s goods, jewelry, perfumes, electronics, sportswear, etc. .

Tenerife playa de las americas – las americas

Playa de Las Americas is a resort town in the southwestern part of the island. Here began one of the sea routes to America, hence the name. However, looking at Las Americas today, the name is more likely to be associated with contemporary American culture. Everything is very chic and on a grand scale: Hard Rock Cafe, a theater that looks more like a casino in Las Vegas, shopping centers sparkling with Rolexes from their windows, golf and tennis fields … Even on the streets you can hear more English (and Russian) speech – in a word, there is no Spanish flavor at all.

The city was founded almost from scratch in the 1970s, when tourism began to flourish in Tenerife. In the same years, the Aqualand water park appeared, and the Loro Zoo on the other side of the island was already actively attracting tourists from all over the world. Las Americas was built mainly for commercial purposes, and it is clearly felt. The place was chosen well, because in this part of the island the sun always shines and carefree resort life goes on as usual, while clouds frown in the north and in the mountains, driving tourists away from the beach. On the southern coast, it is warm in winter and not too hot in summer: the temperature in winter is not lower than 20 ° C, in summer it is not higher than 30 ° C.

The main attraction is, of course, the beach, where azure waves caress the shore. You can swim on this stretch of coast from March to November, the ocean is quite calm, shallow near the coast, there are no big waves here, as in neighboring El Medano, so you can safely stay in Las Americas even with small children. Particularly courageous Russians swim in winter. Although the ocean is always cool and warms up to no more than 21 ° C, it is still more comfortable to swim in spring and summer.

There are many beaches here – eight, velvety sand is brought here from the Sahara desert to delight tourist eyes. Particularly good are Del Camison Beach near five-star hotels, Troya Beach, where young people come to smoothly move to the bars of the famous Las Veronicas neighborhood in the evening, as well as La Pinta, a family beach where there are many children happily flopping down from inflatable slides in water. In general, the beaches of Las Americas are quite quiet. It is dominated by people of mature age, mainly from England and Germany, there are few street vendors. The noisiest companies on the beach are locals, not crazed tourists, as, for example, in Barcelona. Theft is common, as in other tourist places in Spain, from the “lucky man” who fell asleep on the beach, they take everything that lies badly.

Tenerife South Airport is only 20 kilometers from Las Americas, which is very convenient. A taxi ride will cost 10-12 euros, by bus – only 3 euros.

Las Americas is the largest resort of the Canary Islands, while delighting with affordable prices. There are several 4- and 5-star hotels here, which often make great deals, as they have been strongly pressed by private traders renting apartments and villas via the Internet. As a result, in a good hotel you can stay at almost the same prices as in apartments, but get European service in addition.

In the center of the city there is a huge park covering an area of almost 42 square meters. km. You will certainly enjoy the collection of tropical plants brought here from all over the world. In Las Americas, such a typically American sport as golf is developed. Anyone can learn how to hit the ball. And the beautiful half of humanity can, in the meantime, “shop” to its fullest! Numerous shopping centers offer a wide range of clothing, shoes and accessories: from the basic firms Zara, Mango and Desigual to luxury brands from around the world – Escada, Prada, D&G and others. And all this is sold without VAT, as the Canary Islands are a free economic zone.

There is no shortage of restaurants, cafes and bars in Las Americas: every evening you can have lunch and dinner in a new place. But do not look for tapas (they are not available in the Canary Islands in principle) or paella (it is better not to take it here). In Las Americas, all establishments offer a standard set of dishes at standard prices that are served in any resort in the world: pizza, pasta, burgers with fries, steaks. All food in restaurants is of high quality and inexpensive. There are also several Chinese restaurants and the ubiquitous fast food. Without trying the Canarian cuisine, you cannot leave Tenerife, so we advise you to look for small restaurants away from the beach or even in other cities, for example, in Icod de los Vinos, where you can also buy the famous local Malvasia wine, or in the port the city of Los Gigantes with its good fish cuisine.

If you are planning an active holiday, you will also find it convenient to stay in Las Americas. The city is located at a short distance from the attractions: the capital of the island of Santa Cruz – in one direction, Masca Gorge and Los Gigantes – in the other, the shortest and most convenient way to the top of the Teide volcano also starts in Las Americas. Siam Park water park and San Miguel Castle, where the famous jousting tournament takes place, are also very close. From the port of Puerto Colon, yachts and catamarans depart for boat trips, and small specially equipped boats go for deep-sea fishing.

In order not to miss anything, come to Las Americas at the beginning of February, during the world-famous Canary Carnival, or at the end of June, when all of Spain freezes in anticipation of the most magical night of the year – the night of San Juan. Right on the beach, everyone will jump over the fire and make wishes, swim in the dark and dance until the morning.

The golden mile in the south of Tenerife

A kilometer and a half of asphalt contains commercial offers, different in attractiveness, like those offered by Las Americas Avenue. Tourist, cosmopolitan and very lively, this road from Playa de las Americas has deservedly been called the “Golden Mile” in the south of Tenerife: an outdoor shopping paradise, suitable for those who cannot imagine a holiday without shopping or for those who enjoy the contemplation of the seashore.

Shopping at the Safari Mall

Departing from the Europe Villa Cortés hotel, leaving behind the markets, perfume shops, restaurants and the ancient Santiago III Park, a territory of tempting offers of various electronic goods, before arriving at the Safari Mall. Its inviting fountain brightens the evenings with a spectacle of colorful lights, inviting you to visit its most exclusive stores: Escada, Ideal Joyeros, Nike Store, Adidas, Timberland, numerous multi-brand boutiques such as Armani, Versace, Dolce e Gabbana, or major national and international brands. Network shops. It has everything to keep up with the latest modern trends.

From AméricasPlaza to Oasis

From the elegant Safari grounds, you can walk to Americas Plaza, the smallest but fullest mall with shops for accessories, shoes and a variety of electronics. As you cross the street, you’ll see the Oasis shopping mall, a great place to get lost among the perfume shops. Natura, Zara and firms like Lacoste predate Monkey’s, a great place to grab a bite to eat and drink before moving on to Vistasur. The oldest shopping center with a large selection of souvenirs, galleries overlooking Playa de Las Vistas, ideal for walking after visiting Europe’s largest Hard Rock Café.

Siam Mall Tenerife Tenerife, Spain – description of attractions, hotels and hotels nearby, address, coordinates, photos

One of the biggest malls in Tenerife is located in the city of Costa Adeje.

The Mall is located across the road from Siam Park Water Park and is owned by the owner of Loro Park Water Park and Zoo. Just like the water park, the mall is decorated in Thai style, so even if you don’t plan on shopping, come and see the surroundings.

Dozens of stores of popular European brands are waiting for you here : clothes, shoes and accessories, as well as many Spanish brands. There are large cosmetics stores, jewelry stores, pharmacies, as well as a food hypermarket and a vegetarian grocery store. Despite the huge selection of brands, prices here are slightly higher than in similar shopping centers on the mainland. This is due to the difficulty in delivery.

In Siam Mall you will find a large food court with many cafes and restaurants of different cuisines of the world, children’s playgrounds, beauty salons and a cinema.

Siam Mall opening hours

The mall is open every day from 10.00 to 22.00

Entry requirements – Spain travel advice

This page has information on travelling to Spain.

This page reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British Citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Spain set and enforce entry rules. If you’re unsure how Spain’s entry requirements apply to you, contact its UK embassy, high commission or consulate.

All travellers

If you are traveling to Spain you must show valid proof of one of the following on entry:

being fully vaccinated. Your vaccination status must meet the Spanish authorities’ validity period requirements. See ‘If you’re fully vaccinated’.

a negative COVID-19 test: either a PCR taken within 72 hours prior to departure, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours prior to departure. See ‘If you’re not fully vaccinated’.

having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’.

These requirements do not apply to children under 12 years old. See ‘Children and young people’

Travellers from the UK who can either show proof of being fully vaccinated, or of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, or who are aged under 12 years old, do not need to complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form. Everyone else must complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form no more than 48 hours before travel to Spain. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail.

You may also be subject to additional checks at the point of entry including a temperature check, visual health assessment, or testing on arrival. Passengers may also be contacted and required to undertake a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) at any point up to 48 hours after their arrival in Spain. More information can be found on the Spanish government’s Border Health Controls webpage.

Spain’s land borders are open, but there may be travel restrictions, border controls and testing requirements depending on the country you are travelling from. For further details see If you’re transiting through Spain.

All travellers should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect themselves and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus. See the Coronavirus section for further information.

Plan ahead in case you present symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during your stay in Spain, see Be prepared for your plans to change and Developing symptoms of COVID-19 or testing positive for COVID-19 in Spain.

If you’re fully vaccinated

If you’re fully vaccinated and travelling from the UK, you can enter Spain. Your vaccination status must meet the Spanish authorities’ validity period requirements.

If you have received a booster, you are considered fully vaccinated for entry into Spain. As soon as you receive your booster, you are considered fully vaccinated with immediate effect. There is currently no expiry date for booster jabs.

If you are aged 18 or over and have not received a booster, but have received two doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine approved for use by Spain, then at least 14 days and no more than 270 days must have passed since your last dose, to qualify as fully vaccinated.

If you are aged 12 to 17 and have not received the booster, but have received two doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine approved for use by Spain, then at least 14 days must have passed since your last dose, to qualify as fully vaccinated. You continue to qualify as fully vaccinated more than 270 days after your last dose and do not need to show proof of having received a booster to travel.

Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain – see Children and young people

Only vaccines authorised by the European Medicines Agency or by the World Health Organisation are accepted. Date(s) of vaccination must be specified.

Proof of vaccination status

Spain will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 vaccination record and proof of COVID-19 vaccination issued in the Crown Dependencies.

Your date(s) of vaccination must be specified and you need to have had a vaccine authorised by the European Medicines Agency or by the World Health Organisation.

Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Documents can be in either English, Spanish, French or German and in paper or electronic format. They must specify your name and surname. See ‘Entry requirements for entry in Spain from third countries’ section ‘k.’ on the Spanish Ministry of Health Travel and COVID-19 page for further information on proof of vaccination for travelling to Spain from the UK.

If you’re not fully vaccinated

If you’re not fully vaccinated, you can enter Spain presenting one of the following documents:

documentation certifying that you have undertaken a diagnostic test and tested negative within 72 hours of entering Spain if using a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar), or 24 hours if using an antigen test.

proof of having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’.

Travellers from the UK who can either show proof of being fully vaccinated, or of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, or who are aged under 12 years old, do not need to complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form. Everyone else must complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form no more than 48 hours before travel to Spain. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail.

If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year

If you’re travelling to Spain for tourism purposes and have recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, you can use the UK proof of COVID-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service to certify your COVID-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test and must include the following information:

your full name

the date you first tested positive for COVID-19

the type of test administered (e.g. COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test)

the name of the country issuing the recovery record or certificate

documentary proof of the diagnostic test from which the Recovery Certificate is derived

Exemptions

There are no exemptions to Spain’s entry requirements.

Children and young people

Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to:

complete an online Health Control Form before travel

show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain

take diagnostic tests prior to arrival

show proof of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months

For travellers aged 12 to 17, see the sections above for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

If you’re transiting through Spain

(This section also covers travelling overland to Spain.)

If you are transiting Spain by air from the UK on the way to your final destination you are not subject to testing requirements nor do you need to complete a Travel Health Control form, provided your transit is under 24 hours and you are not leaving the international zone of the airport. If you are leaving the airport, documentation requirements set out in ‘All travellers’ apply. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail. You should check with your travel operator and the authorities at your final destination if a negative test is required on entry.

Spain’s land borders are open. While testing requirements do not apply to overland travellers, you should consult travel advice for any countries you are traveling through at the links below:

FCDO travel advice for France,

FCDO travel advice for Portugal

FCDO travel advice for Andorra

FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar

Check your passport and travel documents before you travel

Passport validity

If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be:

issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)

valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

Visas

You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.

If you are travelling to Spain and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Spanish government’s entry requirements. You should check with the Spanish consulate in the UK prior to travel regarding what type of visa and/or work permit you may need.

If you are travelling to Spain for work, read the guidance on visas and permits.

If you are unable to return to the UK before the expiry of your visa/permit or visa-free limit due to C-19 restrictions, you should contact your local immigration office (Extranjería) for advice. You can also call 060 from a Spanish phone line.

If you are visiting Spain and need to extend your visa-free stay for exceptional reasons, such as a medical emergency, you must apply to the immigration authorities (Extranjería) to do so.

If you stay in Spain with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Passport stamping

Check your passport is stamped if you enter or exit the Schengen area through Spain as a visitor.

Border guards will use passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area. If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit.

You can show evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area, and ask the border guards to add this date and location in your passport. Examples of acceptable evidence include boarding passes and tickets.

E-gates

You should use the desks staffed by border officers. If you are aged 18 and over, and airport staff instruct you to do this, you may be able to use e-gates, if these are operating.

If you use an e-gate, make sure you get your passport stamped by a border officer.

Additional documents required by tourists

UK nationals entering the Schengen zone as tourists may need to provide additional documents at the border. As well as a valid return or onward ticket, it is possible that travellers to Spain may also be asked to:

show you have enough money for your stay. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior (in Spanish).

show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (e.g. second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family. The Spanish government has clarified that the “carta de invitation” is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior.

Residents of Spain

If you are resident in Spain your passport should not be stamped. Read our Living in Spain guide for passport stamping information.

You should proactively show your proof of residence – such as the ‘TIE’ (la tarjeta de identidad de extranjero) – as well as your valid passport at Spanish border control. For further information, see our Living in Spain guide.

Travel between Spain and Gibraltar

Spanish border checks can cause delays when crossing between Spain and Gibraltar. If you are travelling to Spain via Gibraltar, check the latest entry requirements and FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar. Entry requirements and testing requirements are currently in force for travel into Spain.

There is no charge to enter or leave Gibraltar. You should not hand over money if you’re approached by anyone claiming that there is a charge.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK ETDs are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Spain.

Coronavirus – Spain travel advice

Coronavirus travel health

Check the latest information on risk from COVID-19 for Spain on the TravelHealthPro website.

See the TravelHealthPro website for further advice on travel abroad and reducing spread of respiratory viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entry and borders

See Entry requirements to find out what you will need to do when you arrive in Spain and for details on Spain’s current entry requirements and restrictions.

Be prepared for your plans to change

No travel is risk-free during COVID-19. Countries may further restrict travel or bring in new rules at short notice, for example due to a new COVID-19 variant. Check with your travel company or airline for any transport changes which may delay your journey home.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you may need to stay where you are until you test negative. You may also need to seek treatment there.

Plan ahead and make sure you:

can access money

understand what your insurance will cover

can make arrangements to extend your stay and be away for longer than planned

Travel in Spain

You should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect yourself and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus.

Some public health measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 remain in force across Spain and may vary between regions. See Use of face masks and Public spaces and services for further information.

Regional governments retain legal powers to ease or tighten restrictions within their region if deemed necessary to control the spread of the virus (e.g. partial lockdowns; limiting the capacity and opening hours of retail, hospitality establishments and public events, COVID passports).

Local and regional restrictions may be introduced at short notice. You should consult regional incidence levels, refer to the advice of local authorities in your destination and ensure you are aware of the specific measures in place prior to travel.

Public spaces and services

Rules may vary between regions. You should refer to local and regional authorities for advice.

You should continue to observe the following rules regardless of your whereabouts in Spain:

obligatory use of face masks on public transport, in pharmacies, medical centres and care homes (see Use of facemasks)

abide by any safety measures put in place by establishments such as hotels, bars, shops and restaurants to reduce the risk of COVID-19 such as social distancing and other public safety precautions

wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and use hand sanitizer gel where soap and water is not available

Proof of vaccination

Spain will accept the UK’s COVID-19 vaccination record. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Use of face masks

The use of face coverings is mandatory for anyone over the age of 6 years if you are in the following situations:

on any form of public transport in Spain

visiting a hospital or medical centre (including other healthcare settings such as dentists, opticians, pharmacies etc.)

visiting a care or nursing home

Face masks must cover the nose and mouth.

In addition to the mandatory use of face masks in the above situations, the Spanish government recommends you use them responsibly in the following circumstances:

enclosed public spaces such as shops, cinemas, bars and restaurants

at large events (e.g. concerts, sporting events)

when in the company of people considered clinically vulnerable or high-risk and social distancing of 1. 5m cannot be observed

at family gatherings

in any other enclosed communal spaces open to the public

Those with respiratory problems or those unable to wear a mask due to other health conditions or disabilities are exempt. More details are available from the Ministry for Health (in Spanish).

Healthcare in Spain

For contact details for English speaking doctors visit our list of healthcare providers.

For information regarding access to healthcare in Spain see healthcare for UK nationals visiting Spain.

Find out more from the NHS website about EHIC and GHIC healthcare cover abroad.

Your emotional and mental wellbeing is important. Read guidance on how to look after your mental wellbeing and mental health

View Health for further details on healthcare in Spain.

Developing symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 in Spain

If you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during your stay in Spain, you are not required to self-isolate but you should inform direct contacts and take the following extra precautionary measures for 10 days from diagnosis or from when symptoms began:

wear a mask

reduce social interactions and avoid crowded spaces & large events

avoid contact with people at high risk (including older people, people with health conditions and pregnant women)

Hotels and other accommodation providers may have their own COVID-19 protocols in place. You should abide by any safety measures put in place by your accommodation provider. Your accommodation provider may have a list of private doctors that they can call to assess your symptoms and conduct a COVID-19 test.

Remember that an EHIC or GHIC covers state healthcare only, not private treatment. You will be responsible for the cost of any treatment provided by a private doctor or hospital. Rapid lateral flow tests (‘pruebas de antígenos’) are widely available in pharmacies in Spain for a fee.

If your symptoms persist or get worse, you should call your regional hotline. Most of the regional hotlines listed have English speaking staff. Some regions offer alternative helpline numbers for those calling from non-Spanish mobile phones:

Andalusia: Tel. +34 955 545 060

Balearic Islands: Tel. +34 971 211 991

Canary Islands: Tel. +34 928 301012 for Gran Canaria province or +34 922 470012 for Santa Cruz de Tenerife province

Catalonia: Tel. +34 933 039 944

You should follow the advice of the local authorities at all times.

In any emergency, call 112.

Citizens should exercise caution in any decisions about international travel, taking account of their overall health, their vaccine status, and the risk of testing positive for COVID-19 while abroad. Anyone considering travelling abroad should be aware that restrictions are subject to change at short notice, and additional restrictions may be imposed by the country of your destination, including during your visit.

Citizens should be aware that new EU-wide rules on the validity of the EU-Digital COVID Certificate came into effect on 1^st February 2022. EU-DCCs based on a primary course of vaccination will only be valid for travel if no more than 270 days have passed since the final dose in the primary vaccine series.

Entering Spain from within the EU or Schengen Area:

Passengers entering Spain who have travelled from countries within the EU or Schengen Area are not required to present a COVID certificate or the Spain Travel Health form.

There are no COVID-19 restrictions in place for travel to Spain from Ireland. There is no requirement to present certificates of vaccination/testing for COVID-19.

Entering Spain from outside the EU or Schengen Area:

In order to enter Spain, passengers travelling from outside the EU or Schengen Area, including Great Britain and Northern Ireland, will be required to:

Present a valid EU Digital COVID Certificate (EU DCC), or equivalent document; or

Complete the Spain Travel Health (SpTH) Health Control Form, containing the details of your vaccination, recovery or diagnostic test certificate.

The above health control measures apply to passengers based on the country of departure.

Passengers arriving from outside the EU or Schengen area who do not hold an EU DCC or equivalent document must complete the Spain Travel Health (SpTH) Health Control Form before travelling to Spain. This form can be completed on the SpTH website or through the SpTH app, which is available for Apple iOS devices and Google/Android devices.

Passengers travelling from outside the EU or Schengen Area to Spain should review the detailed information on what certificates are acceptable for travel and the health control form, which is available on the Spanish Ministry of Health website. It is the individual passenger’s responsibility to ensure that their documents meet the requirements as outlined.

All passengers may be subject to further health controls on arrival, including assessment and/or diagnostic testing.

Hello Canary Islands

Public Health Requirements in place upon arrival in Spain
Restrictions in Spain vary depending on the region. The wearing of a mask is mandatory in all parts of Spain when using public transport, and also in pharmacies and in healthcare settings. You may be required to wear a mask in taxis and similar private transportation/car sharing services.

Further information on the restrictions in place in each region can be found in English on the official Spanish tourism website.

Information on what to do if you present symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, is available in English on the website of the Spanish Ministry of Health.

If you test positive for COVID-19 while on holiday in Spain, you may be required to isolate in line with local health requirements. Please note that not all regions of Spain have dedicated quarantine hotels or facilities for those who test positive for COVID-19, and you may need to contact your accommodation provider to arrange to extend your stay. Costs incurred from extending your stay in Spain are at the traveller’s own expense. As such, you are strongly advised to ensure that your insurance policy provides adequate cover in the event that you need to extend your stay in Spain due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

If you are a close contact of someone who tests positive for COVID-19, you must follow the guidelines of the local health authorities.

In line with our Consular Assistance Charter, the Embassy of Ireland cannot provide funds or accommodation for citizens who are required to extend their stay. Should you test positive for COVID-19, you must comply with local health requirements and you should strongly consider whether your circumstances allow for this eventuality before deciding on your travel.

Safety and Security

Safety and Security

Wildfires

There is currently a heightened risk of wildfires throughout Spain due to very high temperatures.

Irish citizens in Spain should carefully monitor the news, as the situation can change quickly. You should follow the advice of local authorities and be prepared to change your travel plans at short notice.

If you see a fire or smoke, you are advised to call the emergency number 112. The operators speak English, and will be able to assist you. Up-to-date information on the current situation in relation to forest fires is available on the website of the Department of Civil Protection and Emergencies and on their social media channels.

Take particular care to avoid engaging in any action that may contribute to the risk of forest fires when outdoors. You should dispose of your rubbish and cigarette butts correctly and safely, and avoid using any open flames. You should also take standard fire safety precautions, including keeping away from fires and complying with restrictions on entry to any areas where there is a risk of fire.

Demonstrations

Public gatherings and demonstrations can at times take place with little or no warning. We recommend that you stay clear of demonstrations and follow the advice of the local authorities.

Protests may cause disruption to transport and other services. Be prepared to adjust your travel plans at short notice if necessary, and allow yourself extra time for your journey. You should also check for travel updates or transport delays before and during your trip to Spain.

Terrorism

There is a general threat from terrorism in Europe, and the threat in Spain is considered to be high. Since 2015, the Spanish Government’s national anti-terror alert level has remained at level four (high) on a scale of 1 to 5.

As terrorists could attempt further attacks, and such attacks could include places visited by foreigners, Irish citizens are advised to increase their security awareness and exercise heightened caution. In the event of any security incident, you should follow the instructions of the local police and your tour operator.

On 17 and 18 August 2017, two related terrorist attacks took place in the Las Ramblas area of Barcelona and in the town of Cambrils, approximately 100km from Barcelona. These incidents, in which vehicles deliberately targeted pedestrians, resulted in 16 deaths and injuries were sustained by over 100 people.

In March 2004, bombs exploded on commuter trains in Madrid, killing 192 people. This attack was attributed to the Al Qaeda terrorist network.

The Basque terrorist organisation, ETA, announced its dissolution in May 2018. It had not carried out any attacks in recent years.

Safety on balconies

There have been a number of serious accidents in recent years involving falls from balconies. Several of these have resulted in the death or serious injury of an Irish citizen. It is important to exercise caution when using hotel and apartment balconies, particularly if you have consumed alcohol or drugs, and to avoid taking unnecessary risks. If you suffer a balcony fall while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your insurance company may refuse to cover any resultant costs. You should also be aware that the Spanish authorities may impose fines on those engaged in risky behaviour on balconies, including climbing over them or jumping from them.

Crime

Most of Spain has a moderate rate of crime. However, given the very high number of holidaymakers that visit Spain, additional security measures are rolled out in public areas at peak times, such as during the summer and at Christmas. You should be aware that in areas such as airports, bus stations, railway stations, tourist areas and major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, there is a much higher risk of pickpocketing and muggings. We advise you to take basic precautions:

• Don’t carry your credit card, travel tickets, passport and money together in the same place, for example your luggage or bag. Leave spare cash and valuables in a safe place

• Don’t carry your passport unless absolutely necessary, and consider carrying your Passport Card. Leave a copy of your passport (and travel and insurance documents) with family or friends at home

• Avoid showing large sums of money in public and don’t use ATMs after dark, especially if you are alone. Check no one has followed you after conducting your business

• Keep a close eye on your personal belongings and hold on to them in public places such as cafes, train and bus stations, bars, restaurants, etc.

• Avoid dark and unlit streets and stairways, arrange to be picked up or dropped off as close to your hotel or apartment entrance as possible

Petty crime

Be vigilant about petty crime: many of the cases we encounter involve stolen passports and credit cards.

In metro stations, avoid boarding the train near the exit/entrance to the platform, as this is often where pickpockets position themselves. Thieves may work in teams and a person may attempt to distract you so that an accomplice can rob you more easily.

Road crime

Always be cautious when approached by anyone claiming to be a police officer, either in plain clothes or travelling in unmarked vehicles.

In all traffic matters, police officers will be in uniform. Unmarked vehicles will have a flashing electronic sign on the rear window, which reads ‘Policía’ or ‘Guardia Civil’, and normally have blue flashing lights incorporated into the headlights.

In non-traffic matters, police officers may be in plain clothes. However, you have the right to ask a police officer to identify themselves. Also, a genuine police officer will not request that you hand over your bag or wallet. If they ask you for identification, show them photographic ID such as your passport, Passport Card or driver’s licence. If in any doubt, you should converse through the car window and contact the Spanish authorities on 112 and ask them to confirm that the registration number of the vehicle corresponds to an official police vehicle.

Vehicle crime

Theft from vehicles is common in Spain. Remember to keep your doors locked, windows rolled up and valuables out of sight while driving.

Be aware of ‘highway pirates’ who target foreign-registered and rental cars. There have been reports of such activity in the vicinity of airports, in particular. Some will try to make you stop, claiming there is something wrong with your car or that you have damaged theirs. In some cases, they will even deliberately orchestrate a collision in order to get you to stop and exit your car, before stealing personal belongings from you.

If you decide to stop to check the condition of your/their vehicle, try to stop in an area with lights and people, such as a service station, and be extremely wary of anyone offering help.

Date rape drugs

The Spanish authorities have warned of date rape drugs, including GBH and liquid ecstasy, being used. Don’t inadvertently lower your alertness to these risks simply because you are on holiday.

Lottery scams

There are several lottery scams being run from Spain. We advise you to be cautious if you’re contacted by an organisation claiming to be a Spanish lottery. Don’t give out personal details or pay any money, which may be described as an ‘advance fee’, a ‘tax’, or ‘insurance’. It’s likely to be a scam if you have entered a lottery and are asked to pay anything up-front or if the contact telephone number is a mobile phone.

According to the Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Spanish Lottery prizes are always free of taxes, and the Spanish police have already arrested and subjected to legal procedures some of the members of groups who were operating from Spain.

Therefore, when you’re offered ‘prizes’ that seem to be linked to the Spanish Lottery, don’t pay any amount. Also, please send a copy of the false documentation to the following address:

Loterías y Apuestas del Estado – Legal Advice Service

c/ Guzmán el Bueno nº137

28003 Madrid, Spain

Or to fax number 34 91 533 51 36

Police

There are two main police forces in Spain:

• The Policía Nacional (National Police) is the nationwide metropolitan police agency of Spain. It deals with criminal, judicial, terrorism and immigration matters. They can be contacted by dialling 091.

• The Guardia Civil (Civil Guard) operates mainly in rural areas. It has both military and civilian functions. They can be contacted by dialling 062.

In most urban areas, there is also the Policia Local (dial 092), which is responsible for traffic inside the cities and minor crime.

Reporting a crime

If you’re a victim of a crime while in Spain, report it to the local police immediately by calling the emergency services on 112 – responding operators all speak English.

Make sure you get a copy of the ‘denuncia’ (police report) when you report the crime. For example, if you’ve had belongings stolen, you’ll need the police report for insurance purposes. If your passport is lost or stolen, keep the police report for your insurance claim, to apply for an emergency travel certificate and to apply for a replacement passport when you return to Ireland.

Making a police report

You can make a police report in three different ways:

1. In person: At the nearest police station. English language interpreters are not always available at short notice so you should consider bringing a Spanish-speaking person with you.

2. By phone: You can make a police report by phone in English by phoning 901 102 112. The English language service is available from 9am – 9pm, seven days a week. Once you’ve made your report, you’ll be instructed to pick up a signed copy of the report at your nearest police station. However, some crimes, particularly more serious crimes or those involving violence, can only be reported in person.

3. Online: You can also make a police report online. Some crimes, especially more serious crimes involving physical violence, must be reported in person.

Climate: seasonal risks
High temperatures, during the summer months in particular, can lead to forest fires in Spain. These can result in road and railway closures. In addition, air quality in areas near active fires may deteriorate and adversely affect travellers, particularly those with respiratory ailments. Avoid affected areas, follow the instructions of local emergency services and monitor local media sources for up-to-date information.

For the latest weather alerts, see Spain’s State Meteorological Agency, AEMET.

Volcanos & seismic activity

On 19 September 2021, there was a volcanic eruption on the Canary Island of La Palma in the El Paso municipality. There is currently a ‘yellow’ alert in place. Information on affected areas is available on the Government of La Palma website. (Spanish only)

Information in English on the recommendations to the public during a volcanic eruption is available on the website of the https://riesgovolcanico-lapalma.hub.arcgis.com/pages/recomendaciones

Spain can experience volcanic and seismic activity, particularly in the Canary Islands. However, major events are rare. The Government of the Canary Islands monitors such activity closely and provides updated information for the public on their website.

Local Laws and Customs

Local Laws and Customs

Remember, the local laws apply to you as a visitor and it is your responsibility to follow them. Be sensitive to local customs, traditions and practices as your behaviour may be seen as improper, hostile or even illegal.

Alcohol

Alcoholic spirits are usually sold in significantly larger measures in bars and restaurants in Spain than in Ireland. Consumption of alcohol in public places, except licensed bars and restaurants, is generally not permitted and may result in a fine.

Illegal drugs

There have been fatalities involving Irish citizens who have consumed illegal drugs in Spain. The Spanish authorities take the possession of illegal drugs in any quantity extremely seriously and such activity may result in imprisonment. The authorities in Mallorca and Ibiza are particularly active in anti-drug law enforcement, and are likely to prosecute in cases of use or possession of drugs.

Identification

Under Spanish law, you must carry state-issued photo ID on your person at all times. This law applies equally to both residents and non-residents. Failure to produce satisfactory identification when requested by the Spanish police forces (Civil Guard, National/ Regional/ Local Police) can result in being detained at a police station until your identity is confirmed. Ignoring direct requests or challenging a police officer may be viewed as ‘disobedience’, which is a criminal offence.

For Irish citizens, acceptable forms of state-issued photo ID include a passport or Passport Card. To avoid the inconvenience of carrying your Irish passport book, we advise our citizens to obtain a Passport Card, which can be easily carried in your wallet or purse. Please find further information on how to apply for a Passport Card on the Passport Office website.

Arrest and detention

If you’re arrested by the Spanish police at any stage, please ensure that all judicial matters against you are resolved before you leave Spain and that you have paid any fines. Otherwise, you may be detained when you come back to Spain and you may incur further fines or even a prison sentence. Information on consular assistance available to you if you are arrested can be found on the Irish Embassy’s website.

Buying property in Spain

If you intend to buy property in Spain, we strongly advise you to consult an independent, legal advisor with expertise in property law from the beginning of the process.

Be aware that in parts of Spain, particularly Valencia, there are laws entitling the local authorities to appropriate rural property for development and to charge property owners for part of the cost of that development.

Potential and existing property owners should ensure that their legal title to the property is completely in order, as their rights relating to, for example, notification of development plans, depend on the property being correctly registered. Property buyers should not, at any point in the transaction, carry around large sums of cash.

Health

Health

Medicines

Citizens are advised to always read the package leaflet provided with their medicines and to discuss any concerns they may have regarding medicines prescribed or used by them with a healthcare professional (e.g. doctor, pharmacist or nurse).

When travelling abroad, citizens should ensure that they have full details of their regular medications, medical history, allergies and drug sensitivities with them, so they can be discussed with a healthcare professional, if additional medical treatment is needed.

Details of medicines authorised for use in Ireland are available from the HPRA website and the HPRA has issued a number of guidance leaflets for patients and members of the public to support safe and appropriate use, also available on its website.

Travel Insurance

We can’t pay for emergency medical repatriation, repatriation of remains, or for expenses as a result of a personal emergency while you are abroad. If you buy an appropriate travel insurance policy, these costs will be covered, provided you haven’t broken the terms and conditions.

Buying comprehensive travel insurance can save you and your family a lot of money if something goes wrong. It will also ensure that you get the medical attention you need, when you need it. Hospital bills can quickly run into thousands of euro, and a medical evacuation back to Ireland can cost thousands more.

Not all policies are the same, and the cheapest one might be cheap for a reason. Make sure your policy covers all the activities you plan to do on your trip. Insurance Ireland recommend that you purchase a policy that provides a minimum medical cover of €1 million.

Emergency expenses

Your policy should cover:

All medical care abroad, including evacuation by air ambulance, or other emergency procedures, and any other costs associated with an unexpected longer stay.

Your entire trip, from departure to return. Consider an annual multi-trip policy if you’re making more than one trip in the year.

24-hour emergency service and assistance.

Personal liability cover (in case you’re sued for causing injury or damaging property).

Lost and stolen possessions.

Cancellation and curtailment.

Any extra activities you intend to do that are excluded from standard policies (e.g. water sport activities such as jet skiing or other extreme sports).

Exclusions: You should know most insurance policies will not cover drink or drug-related incidents.

European Health Insurance Card

As an Irish resident you are entitled to get healthcare through the public system in countries of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland if you become ill or injured while on a temporary stay there. Ensure that you get or renew your EHIC (the new name for the E111) before you go, and remember, you need one for every person travelling in your group.

Apply for your EHIC and find out more information.

The EHIC is not a substitute for proper travel insurance provided by a reputable insurer. It doesn’t cover medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or treatment of a non-urgent nature. Also, some private hospitals may not accept the EHIC, so you should check with the hospital administrator beforehand.

Additional Information

Additional Information

Passports
You need a passport to enter Spain. While there is no minimum passport validity requirement, your passport must be valid for the planned period of your stay.

Staying for longer than three months

All EU citizens who want to stay in Spain for more than three months have to register in person at the Oficina de Extranjeros (Foreigners Office). You will be issued a Certificate of Registration with your name, address, nationality, identity number (NIE) and date of registration. The certificate serves as confirmation that you have registered, but is not recognised by the local authorities as a valid form of identification.

Consular help

You can contact us at the Irish Embassy in Madrid or one of Ireland’s Honorary Consulates if you need help.

Transport
Driving

You drive on the right in Spain. The rules of the road in Spain are broadly similar to those in Ireland, and roads are modern and well maintained. Traffic is faster-paced than in Ireland and driving customs are different. You should exercise particular caution while driving at night. If you want to drive:

Bring your full Irish driving license and make sure you have adequate and appropriate insurance

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is against the law and you risk being detained, fined or banned from driving if caught

Be aware of Spain’s traffic laws, such as speed limits

Wear your seatbelts at all times, in front and back seats

Keep your vehicle doors locked and your bags kept out of sight to prevent opportunistic bag-snatching if you’re stopped at traffic lights

The use of a mobile phone without a hands-free device can result in a fine and driving ban while in Spain

You must wear a reflective vest and use a reflective triangle warning signs if you need to stop at the roadside

If travelling between Gibraltar and Spain

Vehicles (both cars and motorcycles) may experience significant delays when entering Spain from Gibraltar and sometimes vice versa. Take water and extra food with you during the hot summer months and wear warm clothing in winter. It is possible to park cars in La Línea in Spain and walk across the border, and this can help to avoid the worst of the queues. While parking in La Línea immediately next to the border incurs charges, check for free parking throughout the town and next to the stadium (this is an extra kilometre of walking). This also has the advantage of avoiding Gibraltar’s complex one way system, very narrow streets, and limited parking.

For the latest information on the waiting time for the queue to leave Gibraltar, you can call +350 200 42777.

Hiring a vehicle

If you’re hiring a vehicle, we advise you not to hand over your passport as a form of security. If you’re allowing your passport to be photocopied, keep it in your sight at all times.

Check that you have adequate insurance and read the small print of the vehicle hire contract (particularly any waiver that will come into effect if the vehicle is damaged).

Driving an HGV

Lorry drivers should be aware that fines relating to tachometer and other irregularities are strictly enforced by the Spanish police. These fines are very severe and must be paid either on the spot or by bank transfer. The latter can be done directly or by the haulage company’s Spanish agent, if they have one. Once payment is made, the vehicle will be allowed to continue. A form for appeal is given with the receipt.

Embassy contact

Please note that if you require urgent assistance while the Embassy is closed, you should call the main Embassy number, +34 91 4364093, and leave a message on the Duty Officer voice mailbox. This mailbox is monitored regularly

Crime

Petty crime

Petty crime, such as pickpocketing and purse snatching, is common. It’s most prevalent in larger cities and particularly during holidays, festivals and weekends.

Thieves work alone or in groups and may use various techniques to distract you and steal your belongings, such as asking for directions or informing you of a stain on your clothes.

Individuals posing as plainclothes police officers may ask to see your passport, IDs or wallets. In this situation, politely ask to see their official identification badge to verify that the request is legitimate.

Thieves are especially active in crowded areas, such as:

airports and public transportation facilities

hotel lobbies

restaurants, patios and outdoor cafés

beaches

tourist attractions

While in the Canary Islands:

ensure that your belongings, including your passport and other travel documents, are secure at all times

carry a photocopy or digital copy of your passport identification page, driver’s licence, train or airline tickets and credit cards

at the beach, bring only the essentials

expect travel delays and additional expenses if your passport is stolen

don’t leave luggage unattended

avoid frequenting unlit areas

Violent crime

Violent crime is rare but does occur. Home burglaries happen in larger cities and coastal areas and sometimes affect homes or vacation rental apartments offered through online accommodation apps.

On the road

Thieves have been known to simulate or provoke road-related incidents, such as flat tires. When a motorist stops to help, the thieves steal the motorist’s car or belongings. The reverse scenario has also occurred, whereby a thief offers to help a motorist in distress and steals the motorist’s car or belongings.

In the event of a road-related incident, be extremely cautious about accepting help from anyone other than a uniformed officer from the National Police Corps or Civil Guard.

There is also a high threat of theft from rental and parked vehicles.

Be particularly vigilant in service areas on coastal highways

Use secure parking facilities

Avoid leaving any luggage or valuables in the vehicle

Always lock your doors and keep windows closed

Reporting a crime

If you are victim of a crime, you can call the tourist hotline to file a police report with the assistance of a translator.

Hotline service to file a police report with a translator – Policía Nacional

Fraud

Internet scams

Unsolicited emails offering enticing business or financial opportunities are most likely fraudulent.

These emails may involve the following scenarios:

prizes won in the Spanish lottery (el Gordo)

inheritance

a friend or family member who appears to be in distress abroad

Never send funds to an unknown individual. Don’t travel to the Canary Islands to obtain restitution after losing money to a scam.

Romance scams

If you’re travelling to the Canary Islands to meet someone you’ve otherwise only met online, you may be the victim of a scam. Be wary of attempts at fraud by persons who profess friendship or romantic interest over the internet.

Investment scams

If you plan to buy a property or make other investments in the Canary Islands, seek legal advice in Canada and Spain. Do so before making commitments. Related disputes could take time and be costly to resolve.

Credit card and ATM fraud

Credit card and ATM fraud occurs. When using debit or credit cards:

pay careful attention if other people are handling your cards

use ATMs located in public areas or inside a bank or business

avoid using card readers with an irregular or unusual feature

cover the keypad with one hand when entering your PIN

check for any unauthorized transaction on your account statements

More about overseas fraud

Spiked food and drinks

Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as the items may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery.

Demonstrations and strikes

Demonstrations and strikes occur regularly. Even peaceful demonstrations can turn violent at any time. They can also lead to traffic and public transportation disruptions, including access to roads, airports, and the railway and tram systems.

Flight delays or cancellations, as well as disruptions at ports, are also possible.

Avoid areas where demonstrations and large gatherings are taking place

Follow the instructions of local authorities

Monitor local media for information on ongoing demonstrations

Be prepared to change your travel plans on short notice

Mass gatherings (large-scale events)

Terrorism

There is a threat of terrorism in Europe. Terrorists have carried out attacks in several European cities. Terrorist attacks could occur at any time.

Targets could include:

government buildings, including schools

places of worship

airports and other transportation hubs and networks

public areas such as tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centres, markets, hotels and other sites frequented by foreigners

Always be aware of your surroundings when in public places. Be particularly vigilant if attending sporting events and during religious holidays and other public celebrations, as terrorists have used such occasions to mount attacks.

The Spanish government maintains a public alert system on terrorism and communicates threat level changes online and through local media. The current level is set to 4 (high) on a scale of 1 to 5.

More about the terrorism threat level – Spanish Ministry of the Interior (in Spanish)

Swimming and water activities

Coastal waters can be dangerous. Always obey warning flags at beaches, lakes and rivers.

The main warning flags used in Spain are:

Green: calm waters, swimming is allowed

Yellow: agitated waters, swimming with precautions is recommended

Red: dangerous waters, swimming or entering the water is forbidden

Black: contaminated waters, avoid swimming

In marine areas, coral, jellyfish and other ocean life found along reefs can poison, sting or cause infection if touched or stepped on.

Ask local authorities about the presence of such species and whether they are dangerous

Immediately seek medical assistance if you get hurt

In the fall and winter months, be cautious when walking along beaches close to the water’s edge as waves can be unpredictable in size and may come onto shore further than expected.

Don’t visit beaches or coastal areas during periods of severe weather warnings

Look out for signs warning of cliff erosion and falling rocks

Don’t dive into unknown waters, as hidden rocks or shallow depths can cause serious injury or death

Exercise caution and follow the advice of the local authorities

Water safety abroad

Adventure tourism

Outdoor activities, such as hiking, can be dangerous if unprepared. Trails are not always marked, and weather conditions can change rapidly year-round, particularly around the high peaks of the archipelago such as Pico del Teide or Pico de las Nieves.

If you plan on trekking, or visiting natural tourist attractions or remote areas:

never do so alone, and do not part with your hiking companions

obtain detailed information on your activity and on the environment in which you will be before setting out

buy travel insurance that includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation

ensure that your physical condition is good enough to meet the challenges of your activity

avoid venturing off marked trails

ensure that you’re adequately equipped and bring sufficient water

stay informed about weather and other conditions that may pose a hazard

inform a family member or friend of your itinerary

dial 112 from a cellphone for any emergency

Road safety

Road conditions and road safety can vary throughout the archipelago. Some drivers are aggressive and drive at excessive speeds.

Public transportation

Public transportation is safe and reliable. The islands are connected through air and boat connections. Extensive buses and tram systems are available on the different islands of the archipelago.

Taxis

Taxis are generally safe. Metered taxis are widely available.

There are fixed rates for transportation to and from certain destinations. Confirm the rate before departure.

Entry and exit requirements

COVID-19 – Entry, exit and transit restrictions and requirements

Most governments have implemented special entry and exit restrictions and requirements for their territory due to COVID-19. These measures can be imposed suddenly and may include:

entry or exit bans

quarantine

mandatory proof of vaccination or COVID-19 testing

suspensions or reductions of international transportation options

Certain European Union countries might not recognize or accept proof of vaccination issued by Canadian provinces and territories for entry or to be exempt from quarantine requirements. You may need to obtain a translation, a notarization, an authentication, or the legalization of the document.

Before travelling:

verify if the local authorities of both your current location and destinations have implemented any restrictions or requirements related to this situation

consider even your transit points, as there are transit rules in place in many destinations

monitor the media for the latest information

reconfirm the requirements with your airline or tour operator

The situation could disrupt your travel plans. You should not depend on the Government of Canada for assistance to change your travel plans.

About Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres in Canada

COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease. It can spread from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a COVID-19 vaccine series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before travelling. Evidence shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and is at greater risk for severe disease when travelling internationally.

For destination entry and exit requirements, including for COVID-19 vaccination requirements, please check the Entry/exit requirements section.

Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are adequately protected against COVID-19.

Influenza

Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.

Measles

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. It can spread quickly from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air..

Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk of being infected with it when travelling internationally.

Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are fully protected against measles.

Food and Water-borne Diseases

Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers’ diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.

In some areas in Southern Europe, food and water can also carry diseases like hepatitis A. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Southern Europe. When in doubt, remember…boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!

Insects and Illness

In some areas in Southern Europe, certain insects carry and spread diseases like Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, leishmaniasis, Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis and West Nile virus.

Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.

Animals and Illness

Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in Southern Europe, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.

Person-to-Person Infections

Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.

Medical services and facilities

COVID-19 – Testing

Contact local health authorities, or the nearest Government of Canada office abroad to find out where you can get a COVID-19 test.

Health care is excellent. Service is available throughout the country but may be limited in certain rural areas.

Private healthcare is also widely available. Upfront payment may be required.

Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation and hospital stays.

Travel health and safety

Keep in Mind…

The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.

Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.

Laws and culture

You must abide by local laws.

Learn about what you should do and how we can help if you are arrested or detained abroad.

Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons

Canada and Spain are signatories to the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. This enables a Canadian imprisoned in Spain to request a transfer to a Canadian prison to complete a sentence. The transfer requires the agreement of both Canadian and Spanish authorities. This process can take a long time, and there is no guarantee that the transfer will be approved by either or both sides.

Identification

Local authorities may ask you to show ID at any time. You must carry an adequate ID, such as a passport, to show upon request. You could be detained until you can prove your identity.

Keep a photocopy or digital copy of your passport’s photo page in a safe place should your passport be lost or seized.

In Spain, foreign visitors must present a passport upon check-in at a hotel. Restaurants, hotels, shops and other such establishments also routinely request passports or other pieces of government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s licence, to process credit card transactions.

Don’t leave your passport or any other ID document with anyone

Wait until they have taken the details or made a copy of it and have given the document back to you

Drugs

Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are severe. Convicted offenders can expect jail sentences or heavy fines.

Alcohol

In several municipalities, alcohol consumption in the street is prohibited. If you don’t comply, you could be fined.

Useful links

Alcohol, drugs and travel

Cannabis and international travel

Photography

It is illegal to photograph military installations.

Counterfeit merchandise

It is illegal in certain municipalities to buy counterfeit merchandise from street vendors, such as sunglasses or purses.

Local authorities may impose heavy fines on tourists caught buying counterfeit merchandise.

Dual citizenship

Dual citizenship is not legally recognized in Spain.

If local authorities consider you a citizen of Spain, they may refuse to grant you access to Canadian consular services. This will prevent us from providing you with those services.

General information for travellers with dual citizenship

International Child Abduction

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty. It can help parents with the return of children who have been removed to or retained in certain countries in violation of custody rights. The convention applies between Canada and Spain.

If your child was wrongfully taken to, or is being held in Spain, and if the applicable conditions are met, you may apply for the return of your child to the Spanish court.

If you are in this situation:

act as quickly as you can

contact the Central Authority for your province or territory of residence for information on starting an application under The Hague Convention

consult a lawyer in Canada and in Spain to explore all the legal options for the return of your child

report the situation to the nearest Canadian government office abroad or to the Vulnerable Children’s Consular Unit at Global Affairs Canada by calling the Emergency Watch and Response Centre

If your child was removed from a country other than Canada, consult a lawyer to determine if The Hague Convention applies.

Be aware that Canadian consular officials cannot interfere in private legal matters or in another country’s judicial affairs.

Travel Advice

Coronavirus travel health

Check the latest information on risk from COVID-19 for Spain on the TravelHealthPro website.

See the TravelHealthPro website for further advice on travel abroad and reducing spread of respiratory viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entry and borders

See Entry requirements to find out what you will need to do when you arrive in Spain and for details on Spain’s current entry requirements and restrictions.

Be prepared for your plans to change

No travel is risk-free during COVID-19. Countries may further restrict travel or bring in new rules at short notice, for example due to a new COVID-19 variant. Check with your travel company or airline for any transport changes which may delay your journey home.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you may need to stay where you are until you test negative. You may also need to seek treatment there.

Plan ahead and make sure you:

can access money

understand what your insurance will cover

can make arrangements to extend your stay and be away for longer than planned

Travel in Spain

You should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect yourself and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus.

Some public health measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 remain in force across Spain and may vary between regions. See Use of face masks and Public spaces and services for further information.

Regional governments retain legal powers to ease or tighten restrictions within their region if deemed necessary to control the spread of the virus (e.g. partial lockdowns; limiting the capacity and opening hours of retail, hospitality establishments and public events, COVID passports).

Local and regional restrictions may be introduced at short notice. You should consult regional incidence levels, refer to the advice of local authorities in your destination and ensure you are aware of the specific measures in place prior to travel.

Public spaces and services

Rules may vary between regions. You should refer to local and regional authorities for advice.

You should continue to observe the following rules regardless of your whereabouts in Spain:

obligatory use of face masks on public transport, in pharmacies, medical centres and care homes (see Use of facemasks)

abide by any safety measures put in place by establishments such as hotels, bars, shops and restaurants to reduce the risk of COVID-19 such as social distancing and other public safety precautions

wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and use hand sanitizer gel where soap and water is not available

Proof of vaccination

Spain will accept the UK’s COVID-19 vaccination record. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Use of face masks

The use of face coverings is mandatory for anyone over the age of 6 years if you are in the following situations:

on any form of public transport in Spain

visiting a hospital or medical centre (including other healthcare settings such as dentists, opticians, pharmacies etc.)

visiting a care or nursing home

Face masks must cover the nose and mouth.

In addition to the mandatory use of face masks in the above situations, the Spanish government recommends you use them responsibly in the following circumstances:

enclosed public spaces such as shops, cinemas, bars and restaurants

at large events (e.g. concerts, sporting events)

when in the company of people considered clinically vulnerable or high-risk and social distancing of 1. 5m cannot be observed

at family gatherings

in any other enclosed communal spaces open to the public

Those with respiratory problems or those unable to wear a mask due to other health conditions or disabilities are exempt. More details are available from the Ministry for Health (in Spanish).

Healthcare in Spain

For contact details for English speaking doctors visit our list of healthcare providers.

For information regarding access to healthcare in Spain see healthcare for UK nationals visiting Spain.

View Health for further details on healthcare in Spain.

Developing symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 in Spain

If you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during your stay in Spain, you are not required to self-isolate but you should inform direct contacts and take the following extra precautionary measures for 10 days from diagnosis or from when symptoms began:

wear a mask

reduce social interactions and avoid crowded spaces & large events

avoid contact with people at high risk (including older people, people with health conditions and pregnant women)

Hotels and other accommodation providers may have their own COVID-19 protocols in place. You should abide by any safety measures put in place by your accommodation provider. Your accommodation provider may have a list of private doctors that they can call to assess your symptoms and conduct a COVID-19 test.

Remember that an EHIC or GHIC covers state healthcare only, not private treatment. You will be responsible for the cost of any treatment provided by a private doctor or hospital. Rapid lateral flow tests (‘pruebas de antígenos’) are widely available in pharmacies in Spain for a fee.

If your symptoms persist or get worse, you should call your regional hotline. Most of the regional hotlines listed have English speaking staff. Some regions offer alternative helpline numbers for those calling from non-Spanish mobile phones:

Andalusia: Tel. +34 955 545 060

Balearic Islands: Tel. +34 971 211 991

Canary Islands: Tel. +34 928 301012 for Gran Canaria province or +34 922 470012 for Santa Cruz de Tenerife province

Catalonia: Tel. +34 933 039 944

You should follow the advice of the local authorities at all times.

In any emergency, call 112.

Finance

For information on financial support you can access whilst abroad, visit our financial assistance guidance.

For more information from the Spanish authorities, see the Spanish Ministry of Health website or their official Twitter channel.

If you need urgent consular assistance, contact your nearest British embassy, high commission or consulate. All telephone numbers are available 24/7.

Political situation

You should follow the advice of police and local authorities regarding demonstrations in Spain.

There have been large gatherings of people and demonstrations in some parts of Barcelona and other areas of the Catalonia region in relation to political developments there. Some demonstrations have become violent, with protesters causing damage to property and disruption to transport. Further gatherings and demonstrations may take place and demonstrations intended to be peaceful can escalate and turn confrontational. If you’re in an area where demonstrations are taking place, you should remain vigilant, follow the advice of local authorities and move away quickly to a safe place if there are signs of disorder.

Crime

Most visits to Spain are trouble-free, but you should be alert to the existence of street crime, especially thieves using distraction techniques. Thieves often work in teams of two or more people and tend to target money and passports. Don’t carry all your valuables in one place, and remember to keep a photocopy or scanned copy of your passport somewhere safe.

Take extra care to guard passports, money and personal belongings when collecting or checking in luggage at the airport, and while arranging car hire.

In some city centres and resorts, thieves posing as police officers may approach tourists and ask to see their wallets for identification purposes. If this happens to you, establish that the officers are genuine and if necessary show some other form of ID. Genuine police officers don’t ask to see wallets or purses.

Personal attacks, including sexual assaults, are rare but they do occur, and are often carried out by other British nationals. Be alert to the possible use of ‘date rape’ and other drugs including ‘GHB’ and liquid ecstasy. Buy your own drinks and keep sight of them at all times to make sure they aren’t spiked. Alcohol and drugs can make you less vigilant, less in control and less aware of your environment. If you drink, know your limit – remember that drinks served in bars are often stronger than those in the UK. Avoid splitting up from your friends, and don’t go off with people you don’t know. Check the TravelAware ‘Stick with your mates’ campaign for more helpful tips and advice.

Make sure your accommodation has adequate security measures in place and lock all doors and windows at night or when you aren’t in. If you’re a tourist and are concerned about the security of your accommodation, speak to your tour operator or the property owner. Make sure you know the contact details of the local emergency services and the location of the nearest police station.

Vehicle crime

Be aware of ‘highway pirates’ who target foreign-registered and hire cars, especially those towing caravans. Some will (forcefully) try to make you stop, claiming there is something wrong with your car or that you have damaged theirs. If you decide to stop to check the condition of your/their vehicle, stop in a public area with lights like a service station, and be extremely wary of anyone offering help.

When driving, be wary of approaches by bogus police officers in plain clothes travelling in unmarked cars. In all traffic-related matters, police officers will be in uniform, and all police officers, including those in plain clothes, carry official ID. Unmarked police vehicles have a flashing electronic sign on the rear window which reads Policía (Police) or Guardia Civil (Civil Guard), and normally have blue flashing lights. Genuine police officers will only ask you to show them your documents and will not ask for your bag or wallet/purse.

Reporting crime

In any emergency, call 112.

To report a crime, including stolen property and lost or stolen passports, visit the nearest Policia Nacional, regional police (Ertzaintza in the Basque Country, Mossos d’Esquadra in Catalonia, and Policia Foral in Navarre) or Guardia Civil Station to file a police report (denuncia). Some Spanish cities also offer a ‘Foreign Tourist Assistance Service (SATE – Servicio de Atención al Turista Extranjero) run by the Town Hall and National Police where foreign tourists can report crimes in a variety of languages, including English.

While in Spain, you can also call a dedicated English-speaking police line on +34 90 210 2112 from 9am – 9pm 7 days a week, or file a police report online for minor offences such as bag or car theft.

Be aware that violent crime or sexual assault must be reported in person at the nearest police station. If you’ve had belongings stolen, you’ll need to keep the police report for insurance purposes.

If your passport is lost or stolen, you’ll also need the report to apply for an emergency travel document from the nearest British Consulate and to apply for a replacement passport when you return to the UK.

Falls from height

There have been a number of very serious accidents (some fatal) as a result of falls from height, including balconies. Many of these incidents have involved British nationals and have had a devastating impact on those involved and their loved ones. Don’t take unnecessary risks around balconies or other high places, particularly if you’re under the influence of drink or drugs. In some regions you may be evicted from your hotel if you are found to be behaving irresponsibly.

You should familiarise yourself with the layout of your hotel and accommodation block when you arrive. Always follow the safety advice of your hotel and/or tour operator if staying in a room with a balcony and watch out for friends who may be at risk.

Some local councils will impose fines to those caught behaving irresponsibly on balconies. Your travel insurance may not cover you for incidents that take place on a balcony or if you were under the influence of drink or drugs when it happened.

Festivals and concerts

Be aware of local laws and customs, and take extra care of your valuables if attending a festival or large concert. See our festival travel checklist for more advice.

Outdoor activities

Take care when swimming in the sea. Some beaches, especially around Spanish Islands, may have strong undercurrents. Most of them have a flag system. Before swimming, make sure you understand the system and follow any warnings (a red flag means you mustn’t enter the water). You should take extra care if there are no lifeguards, flags or signs. Follow local advice if jellyfish are present.

You should avoid swimming at beaches that are close to rivers. Don’t dive into unknown water as hidden rocks or shallow depths can cause serious injury or death.

Take care when walking along unmanned beaches close to the water’s edge as some waves can be of an unpredictable size and come in further than expected with strong undertows. Further tips can be found on ABTA’s swim safe pages.

Temperatures in some parts of Spain can change very quickly. Take extra care when planning a hike or walk to check local weather reports for warnings of extreme heat or cold temperatures.

If an accident occurs whilst mountaineering, canoeing, potholing or climbing, or if you become lost in the mountains or other areas requiring mountain rescue, call 112 for the emergency services or 062 for the Civil Guard.

For advice on safety and weather conditions for skiing or other outdoor activities call the Spanish National Tourist Office in London on 020 7317 2028 or see the European Avalanche Warning Services.

The Catalonia region has started billing negligent climbers, skiers and other adventurers who have to be rescued.

In 2020 there were 1,366 road deaths in Spain (source: Department for Transport. This equates to 2.9 road deaths per 100,000 population and compares to the UK average of 2.3 road deaths per 100,000 of population in 2020.

If you are planning to drive in Spain, see information on Driving Abroad.

Licences and documentation

To drive a car or a motorcycle over 125cc in Spain you must be 18 years of age or above, and at least 16 years old to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc. You must carry a valid driving licence, proof of insurance and proof of identity at all times.

If you are visiting Spain, you can drive on your full, valid, UK driving licence (provisional licences are not valid for driving in Spain).

If you’re living in Spain, check the Living in Guide for information on requirements for residents.

If you are using UK insurance, always carry your certificate with you in case you are stopped. This certificate is generally only valid for a stay of less than 3 months – contact your insurer if you’re staying longer.

Driving a British car abroad

You may need a UK sticker to drive your car outside the UK. From 28 September 2021 UK stickers have replaced GB stickers. Check the GOV.UK Displaying number plates website for more information on what to do if you are driving outside the UK.

Driving regulations

Driving is on the right. Driving rules and customs are different from those in the UK.

You must carry two red warning triangles which, in the event of an accident or breakdown, should be placed in front of and behind the vehicle at least 50 metres away from the vehicle. You must have a spare wheel and the tools to change it. If at any time you have to leave your vehicle due to an accident or breakdown or while waiting for the arrival of the emergency services, you must wear a reflective vest or you may face a heavy fine.

Spain has strict drink driving laws. Police regularly carry out roadside checks for alcohol and drugs. Penalties include heavy fines, loss of licence and imprisonment.

Police can impose on-the-spot fines for a variety of driving offences including exceeding the speed limit. Should you choose to accept the fine and pay within 20 days, it will be reduced by 50%. More information on how to pay is available on the Spanish driving agency website.

Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers in the front and back seats. Children under the age of 12 or under 1.35m in height are required by law to use an approved child safety seat and must be positioned in the back seat. Children are only permitted to travel in the front seat of the car if the rear seats are already occupied by other children or if the vehicle does not have rear seats. Car hire agencies can provide child seats, so let them know you need one when you reserve the car. Incorrect installation of a child seat or not wearing a seat belt can be considered a serious offence and met with heavy fines.

Motorcyclists (including drivers of mopeds and quads) must wear an approved safety helmet and other protective clothing. Not wearing one is considered a serious offence and can result in a fine.

Talking on a mobile phone when driving is forbidden, even if you have pulled over to the side of the road. You must be completely away from the road. Using an earpiece is also prohibited but you’re allowed to use a mobile phone with a completely hands-free unit.

See the European Commission, AA and RAC guides for more information on driving in Spain.

Vehicle restrictions

Some cities in Spain have introduced emergency anti-pollution protocols to limit exhaust emissions when air pollution levels are high. When activated, vehicle access is restricted and speed limits are imposed. Follow the instructions of the local authorities.

Madrid and Barcelona operate permanent low emission zones which require all vehicles (including foreign registrations) to meet specific exhaust emission standards in order to be granted entry. Vehicles that comply will be issued an eco-sticker (‘distintivo ambiental’) or equivalent from the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT) which determines its ability to circulate and park in the zone. Access requirements vary and foreign number plated vehicles may be required to register or accredit their exhaust emissions with the local authorities prior to accessing the zone. Unregistered vehicles who do not meet emission standards will be issued a penalty notice. If your hotel or accommodation is located in a low emission zone, check which access provisions are available to guests (i.e. car park, one-day passes etc.).

See the MadridCentral and Barcelona Ring Roads Low Emission Zone websites for further information.

Taxis

Only use officially registered or licensed taxis, or reputable transport companies you recognise. Licensing regulations differ across Spain and in certain cities pre-booking is required.

Passengers caught using unlicensed taxi services are liable for fines of up to 600€. Make sure you book your taxi or airport transfer through a licensed firm.

Timeshare and holiday clubs

Timeshare ownership is well established in Spain with many respected companies, agents and resorts operating legally and fairly. However, there are also many unscrupulous companies, some of which claim to provide various incentives, which don’t always materialise.

You may find it useful to read the timeshare fraud advice from Action Fraud, the UK’s national fraud reporting centre, run by the National Fraud Authority.

Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Spain.

UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe abroad and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out more about the global threat from terrorism.

Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. The Spanish authorities take measures to protect visitors, but you should be vigilant and follow the instructions of the local authorities.

On 17-18 August 2017, there were 2 terrorist-related incidents where vehicles were driven directly at pedestrians, resulting in injuries and loss of life. These were in the Las Ramblas area of Barcelona and Cambrils, near Salou (100km southwest of Barcelona).

The Basque terrorist organisation ETA’s last major attack was in 2006 and it hasn’t mounted any attacks since 2009. In May 2018 it announced it was “disbanding”. British nationals have not been a target of ETA terrorism.

Spanish police have disrupted a number of groups suspected of recruiting individuals to travel to Syria and Iraq from 2015 to the present date. Some of them expressed an intention to carry out attacks in Europe.

There’s a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.

This page has information on travelling to Spain.

This page reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British Citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Spain set and enforce entry rules. If you’re unsure how Spain’s entry requirements apply to you, contact its UK embassy, high commission or consulate.

proof of having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’.

Travellers from the UK who can either show proof of being fully vaccinated, or of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, or who are aged under 12 years old, do not need to complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form. Everyone else must complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form no more than 48 hours before travel to Spain. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail.

If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year

If you’re travelling to Spain for tourism purposes and have recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, you can use the UK proof of COVID-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service to certify your COVID-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test and must include the following information:

your full name

complete an online Health Control Form before travel

show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain

take diagnostic tests prior to arrival

show proof of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months

For travellers aged 12 to 17, see the sections above for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

If you’re transiting through Spain

(This section also covers travelling overland to Spain.)

If you are transiting Spain by air from the UK on the way to your final destination you are not subject to testing requirements nor do you need to complete a Travel Health Control form, provided your transit is under 24 hours and you are not leaving the international zone of the airport. If you are leaving the airport, documentation requirements set out in ‘All travellers’ apply. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail. You should check with your travel operator and the authorities at your final destination if a negative test is required on entry.

Spain’s land borders are open. While testing requirements do not apply to overland travellers, you should consult travel advice for any countries you are traveling through at the links below:

FCDO travel advice for France,

FCDO travel advice for Portugal

FCDO travel advice for Andorra

FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar

Check your passport and travel documents before you travel

Passport validity

If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be:

issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)

valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

Visas

You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.

If you are travelling to Spain and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Spanish government’s entry requirements. You should check with the Spanish consulate in the UK prior to travel regarding what type of visa and/or work permit you may need.

If you are travelling to Spain for work, read the guidance on visas and permits.

If you are unable to return to the UK before the expiry of your visa/permit or visa-free limit due to C-19 restrictions, you should contact your local immigration office (Extranjería) for advice. You can also call 060 from a Spanish phone line.

If you are visiting Spain and need to extend your visa-free stay for exceptional reasons, such as a medical emergency, you must apply to the immigration authorities (Extranjería) to do so.

If you stay in Spain with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Passport stamping

Check your passport is stamped if you enter or exit the Schengen area through Spain as a visitor.

Border guards will use passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area. If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit.

You can show evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area, and ask the border guards to add this date and location in your passport. Examples of acceptable evidence include boarding passes and tickets.

E-gates

You should use the desks staffed by border officers. If you are aged 18 and over, and airport staff instruct you to do this, you may be able to use e-gates, if these are operating.

If you use an e-gate, make sure you get your passport stamped by a border officer.

Additional documents required by tourists

UK nationals entering the Schengen zone as tourists may need to provide additional documents at the border. As well as a valid return or onward ticket, it is possible that travellers to Spain may also be asked to:

show you have enough money for your stay. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior (in Spanish).

show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (e.g. second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family. The Spanish government has clarified that the “carta de invitation” is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior.

Residents of Spain

If you are resident in Spain your passport should not be stamped. Read our Living in Spain guide for passport stamping information.

You should proactively show your proof of residence – such as the ‘TIE’ (la tarjeta de identidad de extranjero) – as well as your valid passport at Spanish border control. For further information, see our Living in Spain guide.

Travel between Spain and Gibraltar

Spanish border checks can cause delays when crossing between Spain and Gibraltar. If you are travelling to Spain via Gibraltar, check the latest entry requirements and FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar. Entry requirements and testing requirements are currently in force for travel into Spain.

There is no charge to enter or leave Gibraltar. You should not hand over money if you’re approached by anyone claiming that there is a charge.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK ETDs are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Spain.

Taking food and drink into Spain

You cannot take meat, milk or products containing them into EU countries. There are some exceptions for medical reasons, for example certain amounts of powdered infant milk, infant food, or pet food required for medical reasons. Check the rules about taking food and drink into the EU on the European Commission website.

Unaccompanied minors

Spanish law defines anyone under 18 to be a minor. Any unaccompanied minors that come to the attention of the Spanish authorities (for whatever reason, but particularly in connection with criminal incidents or when in hospital) are judged to be vulnerable and may be taken into a minors centre until a parent or guardian can be found.

Providing ID

You must provide photo ID if requested by a police officer. This includes the Guardia Civil and national, regional and local police forces. The police have the right to hold you at a police station until your identity is confirmed.

Ignoring direct requests or challenging a police officer may be viewed as ‘disobedience’, which is a criminal offence.

Hotels have a legal duty to register the passport details of tourists on check-in. Wait until the hotel staff have registered your passport details or taken a photocopy of your passport. Don’t leave it at reception to collect later.

Drugs and alcohol

Possession of even a small quantity of drugs can lead to arrest and detention. Possession of large quantities will probably result in prosecution and a prison sentence if convicted.

Some local councils in Spain have banned the consumption of alcohol in the street and on-the-spot fines may be issued. There are strict controls on drinking and sexual activity in public places, including beaches.

Restrictions on sale of alcohol in the Balearic Islands

Legislation introduced by the regional government in the Balearic Islands, covering designated areas within the resorts of Magaluf (Calvià) and Playa de Palma on the island of Mallorca, and San Antonio (San Antoni de Portmany) on the island of Ibiza, places limits on the sale and availability of alcohol.

In designated areas of the resorts, there are prohibitions on happy hours, open bars (such as all you can drink in 1-hour offers), the sale of alcohol from vending machines, self-service alcohol dispensers and the organising of pub-crawls and party boat trips. The law also prohibits “off-licence” sales between 9:30pm and 8am.

In addition, hotels and other establishments are obliged to evict clients found to be behaving dangerously on balconies, with fines for both the client and the establishment.

Irregular commercial parties in villas and private homes

There have been a number of serious accidents involving people attending irregular commercially promoted parties in villas and private homes on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca.

Licensed clubs and bars are required to meet safety and security standards, including emergency exits and capacity limits, and to have trained, licensed security staff. Irregular commercial parties may not meet these standards. You should take care of your belongings, ensure you know where emergency exits are located and not take unnecessary risks.

Heavy fines may be imposed by local authorities to anyone attending irregular commercial parties.

LGBT travellers

Spain is a tolerant and progressive place for LGBT travellers. There are active LGBT communities and social venues, particularly in big cities. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Spain since 2005. As of 17 March 2007, the law allows a transgender person to register under their preferred sex in public documents such as birth certificates, identity cards and passports without undergoing prior gender reassignment surgery. Spain does not recognise a third gender. See our information and advice page for the LGBT community before you travel.

Dress

In some parts of Spain it’s against the law to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts/trunks. Being bare-chested has also been banned in some areas of Spain. Some local councils will impose fines if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or the adjacent streets.

For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain don’t allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside.

If you have a health condition, or you are pregnant, you may need specialist healthcare abroad. Check whether your destination country can provide the healthcare you may need and ensure you have appropriate travel insurance for unexpected medical evacuation or local treatment.

See the Coronavirus travel health and Healthcare sections in the Coronavirus page for COVID-19 health information.

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) on the TravelHealthPro website. Each country-specific page has information on vaccine recommendations, any current health risks or outbreaks, and factsheets with information on staying healthy abroad. Guidance is also available from NHS (Scotland) on the FitForTravel website.

General information on travel vaccinations and a travel health checklist is available on the NHS website. You may then wish to contact your health adviser or pharmacy for advice on other preventive measures and managing any pre-existing medical conditions while you’re abroad.

The legal status and regulation of some medicines prescribed or purchased in the UK can be different in other countries. If you’re travelling with prescription or over-the-counter medicine, read this guidance from NaTHNaC on best practice when travelling with medicines. For further information on the legal status of a specific medicine, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate
of the country or territory you’re travelling to.

While travel can be enjoyable, it can sometimes be challenging. There are clear links between mental and physical health, so looking after yourself during travel and when abroad is important. Information on travelling with mental health conditions is available in our guidance page. Further information is also available from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC). Specific information on mental health support for British nationals in Spain can also be found on GOV.UK.

Healthcare

If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip, dial 112 and ask for an ambulance.

You should get a free UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before leaving the UK. If you already have an EHIC it will still be valid as long as it remains in date.

The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to state provided medical treatment that may become necessary during your trip. Any treatment provided is on the same terms as Spanish nationals. If you don’t have your GHIC or EHIC with you or you’ve lost it, you can call the NHS Overseas Healthcare Team on +44 191 218 1999 to get a Provisional Replacement Certificate.

It’s important to take out appropriate travel insurance for your needs. A GHIC or EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance and you should have both before you travel. It does not cover all health-related costs, for example, medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment and non-urgent treatment. Read more about what your travel insurance should cover.

As a general rule, if you need hospital treatment in Spain you’re more likely to receive appropriate care in a public healthcare facility (although in some tourist areas there may be no public healthcare facility nearby). Your insurance/medical assistance company will be able to provide further details. Some hotels may call private doctors or ambulances to take patients to private hospitals; the GHIC or EHIC won’t be accepted there. For more information, visit Healthcare for UK nationals living in Spain.

If you’re living in Spain, you can also find more information on healthcare for residents in the Living In Spain guide.

Flooding

Flash flooding can occur resulting in damage to property, infrastructure and travel disruption. Check weather warnings from Spain’s meteorological office (AEMET) before travel and follow the advice of the local authorities.

Forest fires

Forest fires occur frequently in Spain (including Spanish islands) during the summer months, when temperatures regularly reach over 40ºC. Take care when visiting or driving through woodland areas.

Causing a forest fire is considered a criminal offence in Spain even if unintentional. Make sure cigarette ends are properly extinguished, don’t light barbecues and don’t leave empty bottles behind. There are strict regulations across much of Spain against lighting outdoor barbecues in forest areas and penalties imposed include heavy fines. Some regions prohibit the use of outdoor barbecues in public picnic areas during the summer months.

Check on the outbreak of fires with the local civil protection authority and report any you see immediately to the emergency services on 112.

The currency in Spain is the Euro.

When changing money, you should always use official money exchange offices or banks, as possession and use of counterfeit money is considered a very serious crime in Spain and may lead to prosecution.

When buying goods in Spain with credit or debit cards, you may need to show ID. You may be able to use a driving licence or a photocopy of your passport, but you may be required to show your original passport.

If you’re abroad and you need emergency help from the UK government, contact the nearest British embassy, consulate or high commission. If you need urgent help because something has happened to a friend or relative abroad, contact the FCDO in London on 020 7008 5000 (24 hours).

Foreign travel checklist

Read our foreign travel checklist to help you plan for your trip abroad and stay safe while you’re there.

Travel safety

The FCDO travel advice helps you make your own decisions about foreign travel. Your safety is our main concern, but we can’t provide tailored advice for individual trips. If you’re concerned about whether or not it’s safe for you to travel, you should read the travel advice for the country or territory you’re travelling to, together with information from other sources you’ve identified, before making your own decision on whether to travel. Only you can decide whether it’s safe for you to travel.

When we judge the level of risk to British nationals in a particular place has become unacceptably high, we’ll state on the travel advice page for that country or territory that we advise against all or all but essential travel. Read more about how the FCDO assesses and categorises risk in foreign travel advice.

Our crisis overseas page suggests additional things you can do before and during foreign travel to help you stay safe.

Refunds and cancellations

If you wish to cancel or change a holiday that you’ve booked, you should contact your travel company. The question of refunds and cancellations is a matter for you and your travel company. Travel companies make their own decisions about whether or not to offer customers a refund. Many of them use our travel advice to help them reach these decisions, but we do not instruct travel companies on when they can or can’t offer a refund to their customers.

For more information about your rights if you wish to cancel a holiday, visit the Citizen’s Advice Bureau website. For help resolving problems with a flight booking, visit the website of the Civil Aviation Authority. For questions about travel insurance, contact your insurance provider and if you’re not happy with their response, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Registering your travel details with us

We’re no longer asking people to register with us before travel. Our foreign travel checklist and crisis overseas page suggest things you can do before and during foreign travel to plan your trip and stay safe.

Previous versions of FCDO travel advice

If you’re looking for a previous version of the FCDO travel advice, visit the National Archives website. Versions prior to 2 September 2020 will be archived as FCO travel advice. If you can’t find the page you’re looking for there, send the Travel Advice team a request.

Canaries: travel tips

Monetary unit – euro.
Time is three hours behind Moscow time.
Language – Spanish.
Religion – Catholicism.
Capital – four years Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the next four – Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
A Schengen visa is required to enter. A direct flight to Tenerife from Moscow lasts 6 hours. 40 min.
The most significant holidays are the February carnivals.
All Canary Islands are connected by ferries capable of transporting cars.
Beaches – public and free.
Tip – service included in the bill, but you can add 10% for good service.

Contrary to popular belief, the name of the Canary Islands has nothing to do with canaries, but owes its origin to very large dogs that lived on the islands in ancient times;
It was from the Canary Islands in 1492 that Christopher Columbus set off to explore the New World;
Pico del Teide (3718 m) – the highest point of Tenerife – makes the island the highest in the Atlantic Ocean;
There is a theory that the Canary Islands are the visible part of the once sunken Atlantis.

Location

Although the Canary Islands are located at a distance of 1200 km from Spain, this is one of its autonomous provinces. They are located in the Atlantic Ocean, just 100 km from the coast of Africa. But there is no African hell here: the Canary Islands have a mild spring climate that allows you to enjoy your vacation at any time of the year without suffering from excessive heat.

Climate

Thanks to its even, mild and dry climate, the Canary Islands are never too hot or cold. The average monthly air temperature does not fall below 21°C (December-February) and does not rise above 28°C (July-August). And the water temperature in the coastal zone fluctuates slightly around 20 ° C, so you can swim in the ocean all year round.

Tenerife

The largest and most popular among tourists island of the Canary archipelago. The richness of nature and relief surprises with its diversity: the green north contrasts with the dry south, the snow cap of the Teide volcano rises above the lunar landscapes of volcanic deserts, and the steep rocky shores rising from the foamy ocean for tens of meters stun with their majesty and power.

Gran Canaria

“A Continent in Miniature”. Here, not only beaches and a clear tourism infrastructure are magnificent, but also nature, striking in its diversity: volcanoes, deepest ravines, forested peaks and grandiose panoramas.
The central part of the island of Gran Canaria is interesting for its luxurious vegetation; the south is dominated by low shores with sandy beaches; in the north – volcanic rocks with small bays, in which the water dazzles with its azure color.
Fans of outdoor activities will find offers in Gran Canaria for every taste: all kinds of sea sports, fishing and spearfishing, tennis and golf, horseback riding.

Lanzarote

Island of extinct volcanoes. The volcanic fields of the island are a unique landscape of unusual beauty. Lanzarote is covered in colorful lava, especially beautiful in the Timanfaya National Park. The hotel infrastructure of the island, although quite developed, is devoid of pomp, merges with nature and uses the characteristic elements of traditional Canarian architecture.
Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Lanzarote meets the needs of tourists who come here to admire the almost virgin nature and the magnificent landscape formed by more than 300 craters.

Fuerteventura

An island of endless, the best virgin beaches in the Canary archipelago, allowing you to enjoy the sea in complete solitude. The austere waterless landscapes of the island are most reminiscent of Africa, and the turquoise-colored sea is shallow and extremely clean.
Fuerteventura is an island for those who are looking for a secluded romantic getaway from the hustle and bustle of civilization. Here you can feel like a Robinson on a desert island during the day, enjoying the silence and loneliness, and in the evening return to a comfortable hotel for dinner.

La Palma

The greenest and most blooming of all the Canary Islands. La Palma lags far behind the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife in terms of tourism development, but its tranquility and great opportunities for rural tourism attract lovers to combine relaxation with enjoying the countryside.

Gomera

An almost round island, on which untouched nature is still preserved, striking tourists with its relict vegetation. The tourist infrastructure of the island is relatively poorly developed, but for those who want to see with their own eyes the picturesque exotic landscapes of Gomera from the island of Tenerife, one-day excursions by ferry are organized.

Hierro

For centuries it was considered a distant and mysterious place where the world ends. It is the smallest of the Canary Islands. Here, tourism services are focused on visitors who want to get away from modern hectic life and get lost at the end of the world.

Ed.: Tell us, what is the city of Las Palmas famous for? What makes it stand out among the resorts of the Canary Islands?

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a unique place. The Canaries are generally famous for being a year-round beach destination. Las Palmas is the largest city in the archipelago. It is very cosmopolitan, mixing European, American and African influences in a bright cocktail. The city is cheerful and modern, where everyone will find something of their own. We are happy to welcome young surfers, lovers of culture and good music, gourmets, families with young children and the elderly. The people of Las Palmas are so hospitable that tourists here naturally mix with the locals.

Ed.

: What is the first thing to visit in Las Palmas? Tell us about the main attractions.
Historic City Center – Vegueta (Vegueta) is a true delight of colonial heritage, full of cobbled streets, wooden balconies, beautiful squares reminiscent of American cities. There are many museums here, for example, the house of Columbus, the Atlantic Center for Contemporary Art and the Canary Museum, dedicated to the history of the natives of the Canary Islands.

Another attraction of Las Palmas is, of course, its coastline, especially the bay of El Confital with its two beaches: Las Canteras and El Confital . A great place for sunbathing, sports or walking in good company.

Lovers of nature, exotic flowers and other plants should visit Canarian Botanical Garden . On an area of 27 hectares, all the richness of the plant life of the Canary Islands and the Atlantic region of Macaronesia is presented.

When to go to Las Palmas?

Ed.: What is the best time of the year to visit the Canary Islands?

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria can be visited at any time of the year. The local climate is unique. There are no sizzling hot summers and harsh cold winters. The air temperature in the Canary Islands is the same almost all year round. Our climate has been recognized as virtually the best in the world by Syracuse University in the USA.

Going to the beach in winter, doing outdoor sports, diving, surfing, swimming in the sea, running, playing on the beach, sitting on the terrace, dancing at outdoor music festivals any day of the year is a privilege that few tourist destinations offer. cities. And here in the Canary Islands it is real.

Carnival is one of the most famous events celebrated in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Every February, during the carnival, the city is enveloped in a cloud of colors and rhythms, as well as an air of freedom (in 2021, the carnival, due to the medical protocols of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been postponed until May and will be held if sanitary conditions allow).

But there are other festivals in Las Palmas throughout the year:

Prestigious Canary Islands Music Festival,

International Film Festival,

What to try in Las Palmas?

Ed.: What is the most delicious dish in the Canary Islands?

There are undoubtedly some very popular dishes in Canarian cuisine:

Papas arrugadas con mojo (papas arrugadas con mojo) – potatoes boiled in sea water with spicy mojo sauce

Gofio – Canarian flour made from roasted corn or beans

Sancocho – fish, corn and vegetable soup

Black pig

Fish, such as vieja or tuna

Juicy homemade cheeses

Try our tropical fruits: Canarian bananas, papaya, passion fruit and mango.

But in addition to traditional cuisine, the city boasts cuisine from all five continents. The port position allowed the city to absorb the tastes of the whole world. Las Palmas has always been a strategic point on the sea routes of the Atlantic and a haven for fishing boats. And today it is a huge logistics hub, a landmark for naval repairs and cruise ship stopovers.

Ed.: What souvenirs or products do you recommend for tourists to buy in Las Palmas?

Canarian handicrafts are the best souvenir of your trip. For those who prefer gastronomic souvenirs, there are also many options: a bottle of good wine, cheeses, a pack of gofio (the same Canarian flour), any sweet made from almonds or a jar of traditional mojo hot sauce (mojo), red or green.

Las Palmas Insider Places

Ed.: Can you recommend secret places in Las Palmas?

There are places in the city that are not advertised in tourist guides, but which any local resident can recommend. Take a sunset walk along El Confital or take a leisurely stroll through the Barranco del Guiniguada Gorge. Every Sunday, go to the San Lorenzo farmers’ market. Take an early morning dip in the natural pools of La Laja Beach. Stroll through the neighborhoods of Ciudad Jardín and Triana and discover the incredible heritage of modernism, or cycle and stroll along the coastal avenue. All this will leave vivid impressions.

Ed.: Can you tell us where you can take the most beautiful photos in Las Palmas?

There are many viewpoints in the city to take pictures. But you should definitely go up to the Las Coloradas area at sunset and see the unique panorama of the entire El Confital Bay in the last rays of the sun.

The wide promenade of Las Canteras (Paseo de Las Canteras) is dotted with interesting places, and it seems that each of them is even more beautiful than the previous one.

And to enjoy the sunrise, head to Canarias Avenue: from the city center to La Laja Beach, it’s a long promenade.

Vegeta, Triana, Ciudad Jardín are areas where there are many beautiful places for your Instagram: houses, gardens, squares, markets, terraces and charming shops.

Las Palmas is a very democratic resort. Many cultural events in the city are free of charge. You only need to go to www.LPAvisit.com or www.LPAcultuta.com to see the program of cultural and music festivals (Parque Doramas, Edificio Miller, Edificio Quegles…).

Guide to Gran Canaria

GOING TO HOLIDAY:

Marina

If you want to spend your vacation under the gentle sun, lying on a magnificent beach and swimming in the warm ocean, then you need to urgently go to Gran Canaria. This island is everything you dreamed of.

I just want to warn you right away that if you are a big fan of chatting with your compatriots, then most likely you will not be lucky here, because Germans come here, less often Poles and Russian-speaking tourists are quite rare.

The best time for a beach holiday starts from mid-June and lasts until the end of October. It is at this time of the year that the water of the Atlantic Ocean is the warmest, the hottest sun and you can fully enjoy one of the best climates in the world (trust me, this is by no means an exaggeration, but the real truth).

But if you still come across one cloudy day during your vacation, then you can devote it to bypassing the sights of the island, and there are plenty of them here.

Don’t be lazy and make sure to visit the famous Palmitos Park. When you wander around the reserve with your mouth open in surprise, do not forget that all this splendor was created not by Mother Nature, but by human hands.

Various shows of dolphins, crocodiles, etc. are also held in the park. A special pride of Palmitos Park is a huge aquarium with marine life. The time spent here will fly by very quickly, as well as the whole vacation, and I will not be surprised if you want to spend your vacation here next year.

Most people start thinking about vacationing in Gran Canaria after they have already visited its neighbor, the more popular Russian island of Tenerife. But will they not experience disappointment from visiting this place? Of course not! Despite the lack of such a number of attractions and entertainment as in Tenerife, holidays in Gran Canaria can please almost all tourists.

Climate

The island is located in a subtropical climatic zone, so throughout the year the air temperature does not fall below 15 degrees, usually the average temperature in January is 18-20 degrees, and in summer 23-25. On hot winter days, many people swim on the beaches of the island, despite the fact that the water during this period warms up only 19-20 degrees. Thus, in terms of weather, the island is good at any time of the year.

The climate of the northern and southern parts of the island is different. Due to the fact that the trade winds often blow in the north, it rains and fogs quite often here.

On the south coast, sandstorms are not uncommon, caused by the Kalima, a wind blowing from Africa.

If you want not only to explore the island, but also to fully swim and sunbathe, then the best time to visit is from May to October. At this time of the year, the water temperature reaches its maximum and is 21-23 degrees. Since the resorts are mainly located in the southern part of the island, you can have a good rest in January, as it almost always shines here. .. read more

Almost circular Gran Canaria is only 50 km long. in diameter. But there are enough diverse landscapes and palettes of colors, elevation changes and climatic zones. It is no coincidence that this island is called a continent in miniature. Tourists from all over the world come here for the most favorable climate. It is not very cold here in winter, and there is no sweltering heat in summer. Although the seasonality is still noticeable. For example, if you stay in southern Maspalamos in December, you will swim in the morning, and in the afternoon you will already be able to see the top of Mount Roque Nublo in the snow on an excursion.

Gran Canaria’s biggest draw for tourists is, of course, the beaches. Here they are for every taste. And surfer-kite with waves and wind, and protected by natural reefs or artificial piers, suitable for a relaxing family holiday with children. On the coastline of the island 260 km. about a quarter are beaches. Wide as in Normandy, cozy as on the Cote d’Azur. There are places here with white, black, and even golden sand. But in no case should it be limited to the coast only. Otherwise, you will miss the world’s best sunsets, unique aboriginal caves, ancient stone monoliths, thickets of Canarian pines, almond orchards and vineyards in the craters of volcanoes.

Of course, it is better to start your acquaintance with Gran Canaria from the capital. There are a huge number of various museums. First of all, it is worth visiting them. And only then set off to explore the routes along the coast and into the mountainous serpentine… read in full

The Spanish island of Gran Canaria is definitely a paradise for cyclists. There are a very large number of trails laid out for mountain biking, and from the easiest to very long and very difficult.

In addition, there are some opportunities for road bikes on the island, both in the mountainous areas and, in principle, along the coast. There are also centers on the island where you can rent bicycles.

Then there are surf schools on the island where you can learn this sport. The best of them is located in the south of the island on the right side of the beaches, and it is called “Surf Canaries” – the most qualified instructors on the island work there.

Of course, with great pleasure in Gran Canaria, you can go hiking in the mountains – where there are inhabited cave villages. You can take a walk to the lake or admire the beautiful mountain scenery, where the flora and fauna are wonderful, especially in spring. In general, on the island there is a huge variety of different hikes on amazing trails.

If you’re looking for clubs and nightlife on vacation, head to the center of Playa del Inglés and find the Yombo centrum, home to dozens of restaurants, clubs and bars, as well as numerous eateries for the gay community. There are also dance bars, such as Mantrix and Mykonos. They are a kind of mixture of a bar and a club, but… read more

We flew to Gran Canaria in the second half of September. It was warm, but we did not feel the sweltering heat, perhaps because a light refreshing breeze was blowing from the ocean. Yes, and the clouds gradually walked across the sky. As a result, without much worry, we lay down to rest in the sun. As a result, in the evening my husband and I have sunburns and chills. In connection with what happened, we had to postpone our beach holiday for a while and start an excursion program.

Upon arrival, we rented a car, so armed with a navigator and a guide, we went in search of adventure. We stopped where we wanted, traveled in our own way, stopped at the pass (buying different goodies at the market), walked around different cities…

One of the first global stops was near Roque Nuble. That’s where it was necessary to climb from the stop. The time there is not very strong, so the shoes should be comfortable. I had slippery shoes and it was very difficult for me to climb.

And here we are approaching the town of Arucas, which has the most beautiful church on the island and has a honey rum factory. read more

Many people dream of visiting the Canary Islands. Here is our dream come true. Not even a few hours of flight had passed. how, to the applause of grateful passengers, the plane landed at the airport of the main island of the Canary archipelago of Gran Canaria.

Getting from the airport to the capital of the island Las Palmas, like other towns, is not difficult, because. there are buses running every 15 minutes on average and the fare is around 2.50-3.50 euros depending on where you are going and can be even much cheaper if you buy a 10 trip card which you can use at the same time for any number of passengers, punching the appropriate number of times.

We decided to stay in one of the hotels in Las Palmas, in order to combine trips to the beach with excursions and sightseeing, and also to do a lot of shopping, given that the prices in all large and small shops, shops and supermarkets are lower than on the Spanish mainland due to the fact that there is no VAT. This means that you do not need to fuss and ask for Tax Free checks that do not exist on the islands, which is good in itself, because. saves you a lot of hassle.

From the windows of our hotel, which, although it was located on the first line, was located not opposite the ocean, but at an angle, one could admire the view of the ocean from different sides. So, on the one hand, the port was visible in the distance, and directly in front of our windows was… read more

Gran Canaria is a very interesting island. It is ideal for a relaxing and measured holiday. But besides the ocean and beaches, there are many interesting places.

The island’s capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is a fairly large city. It is located on a small isthmus, on one side of which there is a port, and on the other, a beach along which the promenade runs. It is pleasant to walk around the city, it is clean and well-groomed.

The city of Arucas in the north of the island is very memorable for its neo-Gothic cathedral. It was unexpected to see such a majestic building after the traditional white houses.

We crossed the island by car from north to south through the central part, which is a mountain range. It was somewhat tiring, but the views that opened up to us compensated for all the inconvenience. We passed small towns nestled in valleys between mountains, reservoirs and green valleys.

Holidays in Gran Canaria, October 2017

I really liked my vacation on Gran Canaria at this time, we traveled to this island many times, stayed in different parts and it seems to me that the best time of the year to relax is October. The temperature is stable around 30 degrees, there are no strong winds and storms. There are waves, but they are rare throughout the day, you can always choose the time for swimming.

The island is perfect for families with children of any age – there are two interesting zoos, a good water park, beautiful beaches. Many hotels are family oriented, there are children’s clubs and almost everywhere there are children’s pools. The island has excellent medical service, friendly and pleasant local population. There are no poisonous snakes and dangerous insects, and there are no jellyfish swimming in the ocean and there is no danger of stepping on a sea urchin.

The island has an active night life, many discos, clubs and bars. Large selection of budget hotels. The water park has enough slides for those who like to slide down with the breeze. There are good places for diving and windsurfing.

Quiet, safe resort where everyone can find something to do. For those who like to cook on their own, there are enough aparthotels and villas on the island for every taste and budget.

The island has a rather mild climate, there are no strong pressure drops. Good medicine and a large number of hotels with spas and massages. There are many hotels where most of the vacationers are 60+, there are also a lot of cute age parties on the beach.

The island has many interesting places, large and very picturesque beaches. For tourists with non-standard views on vacation, there are hotels only for adults.

Comfortable shoes, a strong protective cream, an interesting book and a good mood.

Most of the hotels are located along the dunes of Maspalomas, I don’t like the part of this resort that is closer to the airport (San Agustin) – here are the oldest hotels in the resort, very built up and cramped, but the hotels here are noticeably cheaper. There are more discos, more active nightlife.

Central – Maspalomas is better, but the nicest hotels and much more greenery in Melaneras.

Near the airport it is often noticeably colder – we spent several nights before departure in hotels nearby and each time we were surprised to note that it was 10-12 degrees cooler and cloudy there.

Behind the dunes of Maspalomas, along the coast, there are several other small resort towns. All of them are small, the beaches there are worse than the famous dunes, but the towns themselves are very personal, especially Puerto de Mogan.

The main entertainment here is definitely swimming. Despite the fact that there are ancient beautiful villages on the island, it is better to go for “cultural” Spain to the continent. If you get tired of the beach, then you can go to the mountains – the views are completely cosmic, but keep in mind that the roads are narrow, sometimes it’s difficult to miss an oncoming car and it’s scary to drive.

The beaches are well equipped – there are showers, water taps, you can rent an umbrella and a sunbed. The sand is beautiful, golden in color, soft and clean. There are practically no intrusive traders, but companies of black women are sometimes on duty near the entrance, who are very similar to our gypsies. Be careful, the ladies aim to swindle money, and, interestingly, they often succeed.

Near the hotels there are shops with the usual range of low quality Chinese goods at a high price. Do not buy toys there, they fall apart in the store.

Some wooden souvenirs have a very specific unpleasant smell, I don’t know what it is, but I advise you to smell it before buying. Souvenir boomerangs, despite the assurances of sellers, do not return back. For groceries it is better to go to that part of the city where there are no hotels (San Fernandos)

There are several large supermarkets, all of them are decent enough. There are many shops with perfumes, the prices are low, but the perfume seemed fake to me – I bought a familiar fragrance and it turned out to be less persistent and slightly different. I recommend the Iberian sausage – it is the most expensive in stores, but really very tasty.

boomerang – 5 euros

fish – from 4 to 20 euros

black Iberian pig sausage – 5-7 euros who owns the establishment. There is a very short menu, but each dish is verified. I highly recommend trying his carpaccio.

In general, I don’t like the restaurants on the island, especially along the beaches, we’ve been to many, and even the elegant Melaneras was not very tasty. Often there are a lot of dishes on the menu – this means that everything is prepared from frozen semi-finished products. They serve for a long time.

They sell cocktails and smoothies, but most of the ingredients are also from the freezer. Absolutely terrible Chinese buffets, made from very cheap ingredients and exceptionally poorly cooked (but cheap)

At the same time, there are decent restaurants on the island, it’s just hard to find them among the abundance of bad ones.

You can eat at the Chinese starting from 7 euros, but, honestly, it’s not worth it. In restaurants, the bill for two will be from 40 to 70 euros.

The island has a decent water park (Aqualnd), a good zoo Palmitos Park with interesting shows. It is smaller than the one in Tenerife, there are no killer whales, but there are much fewer people. I really like Cocodrilo Park – a soulful, small zoo-shelter for animals that were smuggled in or no longer needed by the owners. He is very intimate, soulful. There are really a lot of crocodiles here, the show is simpler, but there is more contact with animals. The zoo is a family one, here you can feel a non-massive approach to animals and design. Please note that there are free shuttles from various hotels.

Safe, no dangerous infections, long beach season, good beaches, no urchins, poisonous snakes and dangerous insects. Very friendly atmosphere, one of the very good options for a budget holiday.

Lovers of luxury will be disappointed by the Canary Islands – even the most expensive hotels here are quite unpretentious, discos are modest, and there are no chic restaurants. Perhaps many will be scared away by nudists on the beach.

I really love Gran Canaria and we go there often, mostly for the ocean and the sun.

Amazing
a feature of such a relatively small island is

the tops of which are almost always covered with snow, to sunny beaches with
fine golden sand. Therefore, the island of Gran Canaria is called
“A continent in miniature”!

Gran Canaria is the most populated island
archipelago and in terms of the number of tourists it ranks second after
Tenerife, receiving 2 million tourists annually. More than half of the population
lives in the capital – the city of Las Palmas, which is one of the

famous for their seafood cuisine, as well as many
popular shops and boutiques. Most of the beaches are concentrated in the south
islands where the climate is drier and sunny. Due to the fact that the mountains in
the center of the island is delayed by clouds coming from the north, in the south it is almost round
the year is sunny, which allows you to sunbathe and swim both in summer and in winter.
The temperature of the ocean water off the coast of Gran Canaria fluctuates quite
slightly: from 20°С from January to May and up to 24°С in August-September.

Sands
beaches of Gran Canaria – multi-colored: there are dark volcanic
coasts, there are golden ones, like on Playa Del Ingles, and snow-white ones in

Gran Canaria

Hotels

The island of Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria, Grand Canary, 1560 sq. km) is the third largest in the archipelago. It is a rounded island with a diameter of approximately 50 km, topped by the volcanic cone Pico de las Nieves (1949 m). Gran Canaria is often referred to as a “small continent” due to the huge variety of climates, landscapes and natural areas concentrated in such a small area. The variety of local landscapes also contribute a lot to this, so the island is under protection and has the status of a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and some of its parts are closed to the public (there are 32 protected areas in total). The central mountain range, running from northwest to southeast, provides a difference in weather conditions between parts of the island – the dry and sunny south differs markedly from the slightly cooler, but noticeably wetter northern coast in its natural and climatic conditions.

What is the best airport to fly into in Tenerife?

This depends greatly on where you’ll be staying on the island and also which airline you’re flying with and from where as both airports are international airports.

The North airport is closest to the capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz and handles mostly domestic flights between the Canary islands and Spain along with some other European flights. It’s the smaller airport of the two and of most use to locals and tourists who are island hopping, travelling to mainland Spain, or flying within Europe. It’s ideally located for tourists wanting to visit Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, and the Northern coastline of Tenerife. Airlines operating from the North airport include Air Europa, Alitalia, Finnair, Norwegian, Vueling and Ryanair. Due to its location, low lying damp cloud and fog often causes delays and disruptions on inter-island flights during the Winter months.

The South Airport has more dining and shopping options within the terminal and is the busier airport of the two. Located close the top tourist regions including Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas and within easy reach of Aqualand Water Park and Jungle Park it handles the most flights, both scheduled and charter with shorthaul flights within Europe and long haul to the USA and Russia. Airlines include Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, Easyjet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Thomas Cook, TUI, and others.

Both airports have just 1 terminal making both airports easy to move around and public transport links by bus to other parts of the island are readily available, particularly during the busy Summer months or you can take a taxi or rent a car.

The difference between Tenerife South and North airports

June 26, 2017
Jack
About Tenerife, Tenerife Talk

For a relatively small island Tenerife is fortunate to boast two international airports, one in the south of the island and one in the north. The fact that both are international airports is where similarities end; the experience flying from the two is quite a contrast.

Location
First of all, their locations are wildly different. Reina Sofia (Tenerife South) is located near El Médano on the south east coast. The surrounding landscape is barren and the weather although mostly sunny is continually breezy. Los Rodeos (Tenerife North) lies at around 600m above sea level in the Aguere Valley with La Laguna and the Anaga Mountains on one side and green farmlands on the other. In winter months it’s at a level where bruma (low, damp cloud) is common, a fact which regularly affects inter island flights. The weather here contributed to the world’s worst airline disaster in 1977 when two jumbo jets collided in dense fog. However, thanks to sunny summer months, average daily sunshine hours are surprisingly high and when the sun is shining it is a rather stunning location.

Facilities
There’s no question about it, with its clothes shops, souvenir kiosks, cafés and fast food joints, Tenerife South wins when it comes to the variety of restaurants and shops available both before and after you go through security. There’s a decent amount of places to browse whilst you wait for your flight, including Desigual and a Hard Rock outlet. Tenerife North does have a handful of shops including a small duty free, Gap and a Pharmacy. It also has a couple of cafés and a restaurant grill. But it’s not an airport designed for people to get rid of the last of their holiday spends. Interestingly, prices can vary between airports. In the past we’ve paid three times more for a standard coffee in Tenerife South than in Tenerife North.

Transport to and from airports
We travel to and from both airports many times during the year. Sometimes, for short trips, we take the car and leave it at the airport car park. Parking fees aren’t extortionate. For longer trips we’ll take a taxi if flying from Tenerife North and the public bus if departing from Tenerife South. From Puerto de la Cruz the taxi journey to the north airport takes around 20mins. The bus journey south, a direct route with only one stop at Los Rodeos, doesn’t take much longer than driving, around 1hr 20mins. Returning, we tend to catch a taxi from Tenerife North and either the public bus or a private coach from the south, whichever is leaving first. Basically, there are good transport links with both airports and using the public bus service is a relatively cheap and reasonably quick way of getting to and from the airports, especially with a bono card (a card which entitles passengers to reduced fairs). Obviously for those travelling to and from the south, Reina Sofia is the most convenient, whereas Los Rodeos is clearly better for people travelling from the north.

Flights
Which destinations planes fly to from each airport has helped determine their personalities. Tenerife South has flights to around 111 destinations whereas planes from Tenerife North only fly to 21 locations (this can change with different seasons). Flights from Tenerife South connect the island with various destinations around Europe, including main British airports. Basically where most holidaymakers fly in from. There are some flights to Spanish destinations and other Canary Islands, but not many. Flights from Tenerife North are mostly to Spanish cities and most flights to other Canary Islands are from the north airport.

Personality
Two factors have a noticeable impact on the personality of north and south airports; flight routes and location. One airport mainly serves the southern resorts and the other mainly serves the Canarian population and mainland Spanish holidaymakers. Subsequently Tenerife South feels like the holiday airport it is and Tenerife North has more of a business airport vibe. Before we even walk through the doors at Tenerife South Airport, we feel we’ve already left Tenerife. That’s not the case with Tenerife North where nearly everybody around us tends to be Spanish speakers. Whereas most flights from Tenerife South are filled with holidaymakers, flights from Tenerife North to other islands are basically commuter travel with seats being filled mostly by business people and politicians. On a recent Binter flight (the main Canarian airline) to Gran Canaria José Bermúdez, the mayor of Santa Cruz, occupied the seat behind us. In Tenerife North Airport there’s no mistaking where you are. As a result there’s a continuation of that feeling you find in the bigger traditional towns around the island. Subsequently there is something more relaxed about the whole process of flying from it… but maybe not if you don’t speak any Spanish.

All in all, both airports are friendly airports to fly in and out of, but in some ways the contrasts between the two reflect the differences and diversity found around Tenerife itself.

What is the name of the southern airport of Tenerife.

Tenerife South Airport

Tenerife is the largest island of the Canary Archipelago. Thanks to the wonderful climate (Tenerife is called the “island of eternal spring”), the flow of tourists to the local resorts goes all year round. Therefore, dozens of flights from all over the planet land on the island every day. In total, more than 13 million people travel through Tenerife airports per year. This article will focus on the air gates of the island. We will consider the location of Tenerife airports, how to get to them, online scoreboards and other points of interest to tourists.

On Tenerife there are two airports on opposite sides. This is the northern and southern tip of the island. The distance between them is approximately 66–67 kilometers. You can get from one to the other via the expressway, which connects the northern and southern parts of the island. In the south is the Tenerife South International Airport (in the Spanish Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur). It is also often called Tenerife – South Airport named after Queen Sofia. International flights from the EU, USA and other countries land here. Flights that come from Russia and the CIS countries land at the same airport. Tenerife South Air Harbor passes the bulk of tourists arriving on the island.

The second airport is located in the north of the island. It is called Tenerife North or Los Rodeos. It is 15 kilometers from Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the capital of Tenerife). This air harbor receives mainly domestic flights from other cities in Spain. The location of Los Rodeos is not very successful (it is located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level) in terms of weather conditions. It does not accept flights at night and the airport is closed.

Tenerife South Airport

general information

Tenerife South Airport (El Aeropuerto Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia or Tenerife Sur) was opened on November 6, 1978 by Sofia, Queen of Spain. Since that time, about 10 million passengers have passed through the air harbor. The first to “renew” the airport was flight IB187, which flew from Lanzarote. The need for a Tenerife South air harbor ripened back in the 1960s, as the northern Los Rodeos airport could not cope with the increasing volume of air travel.

Tenerife Sur is located in a municipality called Granadilla de Abona. The airport works with 150 shipping companies and is open around the clock. Tenerife South is the main air gateway to Tenerife and the Canary Islands as a whole. The popular resort of Playa de Las Americas is 18 kilometers away, and the capital of the island of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is about 60 kilometers.

Online scoreboard of Tenerife South Airport

Tenerife North Airport

general information

Tenerife North Airport (Aeropuerto de Tenerife Norte) or Los Rodeos is located in the northeast of the island in a municipality called La Laguna. It is about 10 kilometers from the capital Santa Cruz. It makes sense to fly here to those tourists who go to the popular resort of Puerto de la Cruz. The name Los Rodeos remains from the time when the military airfield was located here. The history of this air port began in 1929, when Lufthansa launched flights here. Since then, the Airport has been rebuilt many times. The modern terminal was commissioned in 2002. Los Rodeos is also known for one of the largest air crashes in the history of civil aviation. This one happened on March 27, 1977. Details can be found on the link above.

Tenerife North Airport accepts mainly domestic flights in Spain. About 40 percent are flights between the islands of the Canary Archipelago, and the rest are from the mainland of Spain. Mostly planes land from Madrid, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bBilbao and Seville. Tourists from Russia arrive here, who flew with transfers through European cities.

In terms of service, Tenerife North Airport is not inferior to Tenerife Sur, but it is auxiliary on the island due to poor location. The air harbor does not work at night, and sometimes during the day. Puerto de la Cruz is about 25 km from Tenerife Norte, 85 km to Las Americas, and about 65 km to the southern airport.

In the late sixties, the administration of Tenerife planned to build a new airport in the south of the island, since the then existing airport of Los Rodeos or the northern airport – TFN, did not meet the technical requirements due to adverse weather conditions.

There are quite a few assumptions about miscalculations during the construction of the northern airport, one of which is connected with Nazi maps of Germany. You can learn more about this from our guides.

In 1977, the construction of the TFS airport command and control tower was completed, as well as the terminal building and take-off runways. Opened aqueen Sofia Airport on November 6, 1978. The first flight was IB187 from Lanzarote. The plane landed at 10 hours 17 minutes.

On the Takeoff Runway, in a fog, two Boeing 747s collided. 583 people were killed. This catastrophe served as the basis for a review of the principle of takeoff and landing of all sides around the world.

What is the name of Tenerife South Airport.

Tenerife South Airport

Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary archipelago. Thanks to the excellent climate (Tenerife is called the “island of eternal spring”), the flow of tourists to local resorts goes all year round. Therefore, dozens of flights from all over the planet land on the island every day. In total, more than 13 million people pass through Tenerife airports a year. This article will focus on the air gates of the island. We will consider the location of Tenerife airports, how to get to them, the online scoreboard and other points of interest to tourists.

Tenerife has two airports on opposite sides. These are the northern and southern ends of the island. The distance between them is approximately 66-67 kilometers. You can get from one to the other along the highway that connects the northern and southern parts of the island. To the south is Tenerife South International Airport (in Spanish Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur). It is also often referred to as Tenerife Reina Sofia South Airport. International flights from the EU, USA and other countries land here. Flights from Russia and the CIS countries land at the same airport. The air harbor of Tenerife-South passes through itself the bulk of tourists arriving on the island.

The second airport is located in the north of the island. It is called Tenerife North or Los Rodeos. It is located 15 kilometers from Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the capital of Tenerife). This air harbor receives mainly domestic flights from other cities in Spain. The location of Los Rodeos is not very good (it is located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level) in terms of weather conditions. It does not accept flights at night and the airport is closed.

Since that time, the air harbor has passed through about 10 million passengers. The first “updated” airport flight IB187, which arrived from the island of Lanzarote. The need for an air harbor in Tenerife South matured as early as the 1960s, as the northern airport of Los Rodeos could not cope with the increasing volume of air traffic.

Tenerife Sur is located in the municipality called Granadilla de Abona. The airport works with 150 carrier companies and is open around the clock. Tenerife South is the main air gateway for Tenerife and the Canary Islands in general.

Tenerife North Airport

General information

Tenerife North Airport (Aeropuerto de Tenerife Norte) or Los Rodeos is located in the northeast of the island in a municipality called La Laguna. It is about 10 kilometers from the capital Santa Cruz. It makes sense to fly here for those tourists who go to the popular resort of Puerto de la Cruz. The name Los Rodeos has remained since the time when a military airfield was located here. The history of this air port began at 1929, when Lufthansa launched flights here. Since then, the Airport has been rebuilt many times.
The modern terminal was commissioned in 2002. Los Rodeos is also known for one of the largest air crashes in the history of civil aviation. This happened on March 27, 1977. Details can be found at the link above.

Tenerife-North Airport mainly receives domestic flights within Spain. Approximately 40 percent are flights between the islands of the Canary archipelago, and the rest from the mainland of Spain. Most planes land from Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Seville. Tourists from Russia arrive here, who flew with transfers through European cities.

In terms of service level, Tenerife-North Airport is not inferior to Tenerife Sur, but is auxiliary on the island due to its unfortunate location. The air harbor does not work at night, and sometimes during the day. Tenerife Norte is about 25 km from Puerto de la Cruz, 85 km from Las Americas and about 65 km from the south airport.

Tenerife Island

Tenerife airports, Canary Islands: in which city is the airport in Tenerife?

Before you go on vacation, you need to find out what Tenerife airports are on the map. In total there are two air harbors on this island, from where tourists from different parts of the world arrive:

South (located in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona).

North (located near the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife).

Tenerife South Airport is absolutely not difficult to find on the map. This is an international hub where people from Russia often arrive. It is also called Reina Sophia.

A little more about airports

Tenerife North Airport is also called Tenerife Norte. It is worth knowing the Tenerife airport code to easily recognize it – TFN. This is the island’s second international airport. It is focused on serving inter-island flights and flights to the Spanish mainland. Also, guests from the United States of America often fly here. If we compare this air harbor with the South Airport, it will be much smaller in size. The thing is that initially it was not planned at all that there would be an airport in that place. Due to the fact that it is not located in the most favorable place, it does not work at night, and sometimes even during the day. That is why passengers rarely fly there. As a rule, tourists land at Yuzhny airport, as it is more spacious and comfortable.

It should be noted that despite its small size, Severny Airport has all the necessary facilities. There are cafes, restaurants, ATMs, shops, and VIP zones. There is also free Wi-Fi. In general, this airport has everything that is necessary for passengers. However, as we have already said, it does not work around the clock, which significantly affects the number of people arriving there.

South Airport

South Airport on the map of Tenerife is the airport complex in the south of the island. It was opened in 1978 , under the Queen of Spain – Sofia. The airport was named after her for the first time – Reine Sofia. Over time, it began to be called simply Yuzhny, and the former name is no longer used.

Airports on the map of Tenerife.

In the late 1960s, the island’s authorities came to the conclusion that a new airport needed to be built. Los Rodeos – old – could no longer cope with its functions, as bad weather conditions there prevented this.

In 1977, , the terminal building and the control tower were already completed.

All major charters land here, as do regular flights from all over the world.

There is one air terminal on the territory of the complex, which consists of three floors. It is large and comfortable. Tourist offices and ATMs, restaurants and bars – here you will find everything. Of the airports in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, the South is the main and paramount.

The airport has 3 levels and consists of 1 terminal, which accepts both international and domestic flights. Upon arrival, citizens of the Russian Federation go through passport control, presenting a Schengen visa. There are several lines here, so it doesn’t take long.

There are no left-luggage offices, and in case of loss of luggage, you must contact the information desk or the lost and found office.

, the administration of the island of Tenerife planned the construction of a new airport in the south of the island, since the then existing Los Rodeos airport or the northern airport – TFN, did not meet the technical requirements due to adverse weather conditions.

There are quite a few speculations about miscalculations in the construction of the northern airport, one of which is related to maps of Nazi Germany. You can learn more about it from our guides.

In 1977, the construction of the TFS airport control tower was completed, as well as the terminal building and takeoff runways. The airport was opened by Queen Sofia on November 6, 1978. The first flight was IB187 from Lanzarote. The plane landed at 10:17 am.

Tenerife North Airport – Tenerife Norte Aeropuerto – TFN

During the construction phase of the southern airport in the northern airport of Los Rodeos, on March 27, 1977, a terrible tragedy occurred, known to the whole world, the largest air crash in terms of the number of victims. Two Boeing 747s collided on the takeoff runway in foggy conditions. 583 people died. This catastrophe served as the basis for revising the principle of takeoff and landing of all aircraft around the world.

The airport has only one runway with a length of 3170 meters, the surface is asphalt. The airport is a transport hub for inter-island communications, flights are operated from there to Europe, South America, but the busiest route is Tenerife – Gran Canaria (an average of 40 flights per day).

The new terminal was opened in 2003. The complex includes a car park, freeway ramps, and a four-story terminal building with 12 gates. The terminal is equipped with six air bridges. The airport regained its International status when flights to Caracas began. Domestic flights between the islands were resumed in 2005.

Tenerife South Airport – the main one in the Canaries

Holidays in Spain on the Canary Islands are traditionally included in the elite category, that is, by definition, comfortable and high quality. Tenerife South Airport fully confirms this reputation: everything is done here to ensure that guests of the island find answers to all their questions as quickly and conveniently as possible. And our article will try to give these answers in advance, even before the trip itself.

History of the airport

The only international airport on the island of Tenerife until the 70s of the last century was Los Rodeos, which today is simply called Tenerife North. Due to its location in a mountainous area, flights were often hindered by difficult weather conditions – in particular, strong winds. The new Tenerife South Airport completely solved this serious problem for the tourist island, taking over most of the flights from other countries.

Tenerife South-Reina Sofia Airport was built for almost 10 years, and was inaugurated on November 6, 1978 years old. Airport is named after Queen Sophia of Greece of Spain, who attended the ceremony.

Now it is the largest air port of all the Canary Islands. It serves almost 9 million passengers a year.

Airport map

For domestic and international flights , one terminal is used, which does not delay its work at all, but it makes it very easy for visitors to navigate. Especially foreigners with poor knowledge of English and especially Spanish – that is, for many Russian tourists.

The plan of the building is simple and straightforward , all services and entertainment facilities are located on the sides of the main hall. The airport scheme includes several cafes, a mother and child room, a modern first-aid post and a pharmacy. Everywhere there are online scoreboards with different information, and the airport terminal employees do not refuse to help.

Airlines and flights

Nearly 50 airlines fly to TFS . Almost all planes from Moscow also land here. You can find a detailed schedule on the official website.

From Moscow, you can fly to the Canary Islands at Tenerife South Airport:

Aeroflot – from Sheremetyevo;

Vim Airlines – from Domodedovo;

Transaero – from Domodedovo.

Transport

There are several options to get from the airport to the hotel:

a transfer bus provided by the tour operator in advance or provided by the hotel;

self-ordered transfer;

taxi;

rented car;

public transport – bus.

Public transport stop is located opposite the main exit , dozens of municipal routes run from it in different directions. 111 and 343 will take you to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife for 4 euros. Here you will be found by representatives of taxi services with small and large cars up to microbuses. A little further, across the road, there is a huge parking lot and offices of car rental companies. But experienced travelers are advised to take care of rental issues in advance, although renting a car right away is usually not a problem.

The cost of a taxi or bus directly depends on the duration of the trip. In the holiday season, prices rise , but not critical. Also, there are long queues for regular buses during the influx of tourists.

Duty-free

The duty-free zone here is traditional for most tourist islands. Here foreign alcohol of famous brands, products and cigarettes are offered. There are no local goods that are usually bought as souvenirs in duty-free.

If you have a holiday in Tenerife, be sure to visit one of the largest European water parks – Siam Park. In the article you can read reviews of vacationers and see photos of entertainment for children and adults.

Before leaving for Tenerife, I advise you to write down the exact address of your hotel or apartment in Tenerife, download to your smartphone a map of your resort town and a map of public transport routes.

Buses from Tenerife South Airport to the resorts of the island

The Canary Islands in general and Tenerife in particular have a very well developed bus service. This means that between the main points on the map of the islands, you can easily travel by bus. The buses here are very comfortable and air-conditioned. Sometimes they are late, but for us it was not a problem. Buses are a good alternative transport for those who are afraid to rent a car and drive on the local mountainous roads.

The bus stop is located next to the arrivals area on the first level of the airport. Bus tickets can be bought directly from the driver. However, at the same time, make sure that you have small Euro bills in denominations of no more than 10 Euros, otherwise the driver may not have change. Travel for children under 4 years old is free.

Taxi from the airport will be beneficial if you are traveling with friends. In this case, you will not have to pay for the bus fare for each person, and you will save a lot.

The taxi system in Tenerife is very well organized. The cost of 1 km can vary depending on the time of day and day of the week – on weekends, the cost of a taxi increases by about 15%. 1 km when traveling by taxi in the city costs about 0.55 Euro, outside the cities – 1.1 Euro.

You can order a taxi from Tenerife airport in a trusted Russian taxi company with a fixed fare, which does not depend on the time of day and day of the week. Such a taxi transfer has 2 huge advantages: the driver will meet you immediately after arrival and you will know the cost of the trip in advance, thereby avoiding any overpayments.

Car rental in Tenerife

Car rental in Tenerife is in great demand, and during the season there may simply not be enough cars for everyone. That is why I recommend booking a rental car in advance via the Internet. When ordering a car in advance, you can pick it up directly at Tenerife Airport.

All roads in Tenerife are free. The resort of Las Americas, the capital of Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz are connected by a highway on which you can accelerate to 120 km / h. It is very pleasant and easy to ride. Winding mountain roads are laid in the depths of the island and in its western part, when driving on which you should be careful. There are no traffic jams on the island, and good roads make the trip very comfortable. In addition, you do not have to depend on public transport. Gasoline in Tenerife is inexpensive – only 1 Euro per liter, which is much cheaper than in the rest of Europe.

How to get from the resort town to Tenerife airport?

When traveling in the opposite direction, first of all, you need to find out from which stop the bus leaves for the airport and find out its timetable. You can do this on the official website of Tenerife buses, the link to which I gave above. Then you will need to come to the bus stop at the appointed time, or better in advance, wait for the bus and buy a ticket from the driver. If you do not want to depend on buses that do not always arrive on time and wait for the bus in the heat, I recommend that you pre-book a transfer to Tenerife airport via the Internet from a reliable Russian company.

A little about the airport

Until 1970, Tenerife had the only airport of international importance, Los Rodeos, which today is called Tenerife North.

The map shows that Tenerife North is located in a mountainous area, so in the past, takeoffs and landings were often hindered by weather, in particular, strong winds. The new Tenerife South Airport helped to solve this problem: it is built on the south coast and receives most flights from other countries.

The construction of the Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur-Reina Sofia lasted 10 years.

November 6, 1978 Queen Sofia of Spain, after whom the airport is named, inaugurated Tenerife South.

In the first year of operation, the passenger traffic of the terminal amounted to about 1 million people, and in 2022 the figure has already reached 9 million passengers. Today it is the largest air gate of the Canary archipelago.

Airport map and terminal

One terminal is used for inter-regional and international flights. Despite this, the work of the airport is well coordinated, delays are rare. The floor plan of the building is simple, which makes it easy for airline passengers to navigate the hall even with a low level of English and Spanish.

Everywhere there are boards with information about flights. Special employees are constantly present in the terminal halls to help passengers.

The airport terminal has three floors. On the first floor – Floor 0 – there are check-in counters, lounges for waiting for flights, a departure and baggage claim area. On the second floor – Floor 1 – there are offices.

Services and infrastructure

At the Canary Islands South Airport, passengers can expect a flight in absolute comfort: in ordinary waiting rooms and paid VIP lounges, which are equipped with upholstered furniture, plasma TVs with satellite channels, and the Internet. There is also an opportunity to eat here.

Those who fly with children will appreciate the free mother and child rooms with a large playroom, kitchen, dining room, showers and a first aid station. It is worth noting that visiting the first-aid post is free only for children under the age of 7 years.

Distance to the main resorts of Tenerife from Tenerife South Airport

In the table below, for your convenience, I have compiled a table with the distance in kilometers from Tenerife South Airport to the most popular resorts and cities of the island.

The taxi system in Tenerife is very well organized. The cost of 1 km can vary depending on the time of day and day of the week – on weekends, the cost of a taxi increases by about 15%. 1 km when traveling by taxi in the city costs about 0.55 Euro, outside the cities – 1.1 Euro.

You can order a taxi from Tenerife airport in a trusted Russian taxi company with a fixed fare, which does not depend on the time of day and day of the week. Such a taxi transfer has 2 huge advantages: the driver will meet you immediately after arrival and you will know the cost of the trip in advance, thereby avoiding any overpayments.

Car rental in Tenerife

Car rental in Tenerife is in great demand, and during the season there may simply not be enough cars for everyone. That is why I recommend looking for a car in advance on the Internet. When ordering a car in advance, you can pick it up right at the Tenerife airport or at any major resort on the island.

All roads in Tenerife are free. The resort of Las Americas, the capital of Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz are connected by a highway on which you can accelerate to 120 km / h. It is very pleasant and easy to ride. Winding mountain roads are laid in the depths of the island and in its western part, when driving on which you should be careful. There are no traffic jams on the island, and good roads make the trip very comfortable. In addition, you do not have to depend on public transport. Gasoline in Tenerife is inexpensive – only 1 Euro per liter, which is much cheaper than in the rest of Europe.

About personal experience of renting a car, we wrote an article “The nuances of renting a car in Tenerife: traffic rules, where to rent, how much it costs”. And the car itself is easiest to find through the Rentalcars website, which compares prices from all car rental companies on the island.

How to get from the resort town to Tenerife airport?

When traveling in the opposite direction, first of all, you need to find out from which stop the bus leaves for the airport and find out its timetable. You can do this on the official website of Tenerife buses, the link to which I gave above. Then you will need to come to the bus stop at the appointed time, or better in advance, wait for the bus and buy a ticket from the driver. If you do not want to depend on buses that do not always arrive on time and wait for the bus in the heat, I recommend that you pre-book a transfer to Tenerife airport via the Internet from a reliable Russian company.

Let’s talk about the airports of the famous island. Of course, many tourists are interested in the name of airports in Tenerife, their number and location.

Tenerife Airports, Canary Islands: in which city is the airport in Tenerife?

Before you go on vacation, you need to find out what Tenerife airports are on the map. In total there are two air harbors on this island, from where tourists from different parts of the world arrive:

South (located in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona).

North (located near the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife).

Tenerife South Airport is absolutely not difficult to find on the map. This is an international hub where people from Russia often arrive. It is also called Reina Sophia.

A little more about airports

Tenerife North Airport is also called Tenerife Norte. It is worth knowing the Tenerife airport code to easily recognize it – TFN. This is the island’s second international airport. It is focused on serving inter-island flights and flights to the Spanish mainland. Also, guests from the United States of America often fly here. If we compare this air harbor with the South Airport, it will be much smaller in size. The thing is that initially it was not planned at all that there would be an airport in that place. Due to the fact that it is not located in the most favorable place, it does not work at night, and sometimes even during the day. That is why passengers rarely fly there. As a rule, tourists land at Yuzhny airport, as it is more spacious and comfortable.

It should be noted that despite its small size, Severny Airport has all the necessary facilities. There are cafes, restaurants, ATMs, shops, and VIP zones. There is also free Wi-Fi. In general, this airport has everything that is necessary for passengers. However, as we have already said, it does not work around the clock, which significantly affects the number of people arriving there.

Tenerife South Airport

It is useful for every tourist to know that there are two airports in Tenerife, but from Russia, most likely, you will fly to the south of the island. To the international airport, which, due to its southern location, is called Tenerife South Airport, or simply Tenerife Sur (TFS). By the way, this airport has another official name – Reina Sofia Airport in honor of Queen Sofia of Spain, who at 1978 personally blessed and opened the airport. Today, the name Reina Sofia Airport is almost never used, the name Tenerife South Airport, or South Airport, is considered more familiar. All major tourist charters of the world, including Russian ones, arrive at the South Airport.

The airport has one three-level passenger terminal. Scheme of the passenger terminal of Tenerife South Airport.

Tenerife North Airport

The second international airport of Tenerife, which most likely you will not have to visit, is located in the north of the island near the city of Santa Cruz and is called Tenerife Norte (TFN), or Los Rodeos (Los Rodeos).

North Airport is mainly focused on serving inter-island flights and flights to the Spanish mainland, and also occasionally welcomes guests from America.

Tenerife Norte is inferior to its southern colleague in size, but by no means equipped with equipment for the elderly and people with disabilities. Los Rodeos would be a great airport if not for one “but”. It is believed that Tenerife Norte was built exactly where there should not be an airport at all. The big disadvantage of the North Airport is that, due to its inconvenient location, it does not work at night and is often closed during the day. Tenerife Norte Airport consists of one passenger terminal, opened in 2002.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is essentially constant during March, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on August 29, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 40% of the time, while on January 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Santa Cruz de Tenerife according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Santa Cruz de Tenerife is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Santa Cruz de Tenerife and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

Tenerife South Airport (GCTS, 71%, 35 mi, southwest, 26 ft elevation change)

Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP, 29%, 65 mi, southeast, -105 ft elevation change)

To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source’s contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

Other Data

All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.

All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.

Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Tenerife is essentially constant during March, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on August 31, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 45% of the time, while on January 14, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

The average temperature now is a warm 18 Celsius. Conditions are often overcast during this month but the sun is still warm behind the clouds.

The yearly climate here is like spring most of the year. March is like a summer month in most northern European countries. The colder winter months are now behind and summer is approaching fast. March is always warm, the sun can be deceptive around this time.

Even though it tends to be warmer further south, most of the island will enjoy ideal weather. The amount of rainfall is decreasing and the temperature is increasing.

The temperature in Tenerife in March will often reach 23 Celsius. The daily low here will not drop much beyond 15 Celsius if at all. It may be a touch colder in the evenings but this is unlikely to seem chilly. A warm breeze from the Sahara Desert to the east can often raise the temperature.

The weather in Tenerife in March is usually warmest towards the end of the month. This island tends to yield some of the best temperatures in the Canaries during winter and spring. The average daily temperature will often exceed 20 Celsius. A record high of 34.5 Celsius was once recorded in March way back in 1951. With this in mind, it would be a good idea to invest in some sun cream. Most days will be warm enough to head to the beach if you choose.

Southern Tenerife In March For The Best Weather

The hottest weather in Tenerife is March is always in the southwest of the island. This is one of the reasons why Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje are so popular.

Protecting these resorts are Teide Volcano and several other mountains. The peaks of Barranco del Infierno and Roque del Conde also act as shields. To the south, the mountains of Arona help to keep the colder northern weather at bay.

Sea Temperature

The sea temperature during March remains at 19 Celsius. Along with the February temperature, this is as cold as the sea will get here. Although the beaches will still be buzzing with activity. There will not be as many swimmers as some of the warmer months. The sea tends to warm up towards the end of the month and during April. The southern areas of Tenerife can be a shade warmer if you fancy a swim. You could also visit Siam Park or another water park where the water is warmer. You can check here for more details about the the sea temperature and other conditions during March.

Things to do in Tenerife in March 2023

Carnival can continue into March in Tenerife whilst Semana Santa (Holy Week) may start at the tailend of the month. A national religious holiday, hooded penitents known as Nazarenos take to the streets. Looking not unlike the Ku Klux Klan, they march to the beat of an eerie-sounding drum. The most evocative Semana Santa parade takes place on the cobbles of ancient university town, La Laguna. This, Tenerife’s most quintessentially old-school Spanish town, is known in full as San Cristóbal de La Laguna and sits in the north of the island.

The middle of March sees the Carrera Montaña Guía de Asora / Subida a Tágara, a mountain race held in southerly Guía de Asora. Register for the 10 km walking trail, the 13 km short run, or the 34 km long run in advance or go along on the day to spectate.

The 19th March is a key date in the Spanish calendar as it’s El Día de San José (Fathers’ Day), recognising the role played by Joseph, husband to Virgin Mary, in the upbringing of Jesus Christ. In the case of El Tanque and La Guancha, their festivities on this day have more to do with San José being their patron saint rather than a shout out for dads.

Weather data for Santa Cruz de Tenerife was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.

For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in March (e.g., March 1, March 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

To answer this question, we have to look at the dew point. Relative humidity can change a lot in Tenerife during the day and night, as it changes when the amount of moisture changes and, but also when the temperature changes.

rest and weather in Tenerife (Spain)

Despite the fact that spring is already on the calendar, the landscape outside the windows is still rather bleak. Why not add some color to your life by heading to warmer climes for a dose of vitamin D, fresh fruits, sea air and new experiences? Kidpassage found one amazing place on the map that will surely satisfy all your needs. This is Tenerife.

Close proximity to Africa and subtropical climate have turned it into an island of eternal spring. When in our latitudes the warm sun is just beginning to peep through the gray clouds, here spring has already taken over. No wonder tourists come here all year round. Kidpassage will tell you about all the nuances of a March holiday in these parts.

Holidays in Tenerife in March: advantages and disadvantages of the resort

With the advent of spring, the island blossoms, and in the literal sense of the word. Amazing flowers bloom on the green fields, filling the air with a heady aroma, the forests are filled with fresh greenery, the smell of pine needles is clearly audible in the air. Tenerife, without exaggeration, is called a real paradise on earth. Negative reviews about holidays in Tenerife in March rarely appear on the net, as this place is beautiful at any time of the year.

What advantages can the island boast of in the first month of spring?

Good weather. Hiking in the mountains, walking along the resort streets, sightseeing – March creates ideal conditions for sightseeing holidays.

Small number of holidaymakers. Since the water has not yet warmed up to the optimum temperature, many people prefer to come to the island resorts later. The beaches are quite free, and there are no queues in sightseeing places yet.

Cost of services. Holiday prices have been reduced, as the high tourist season has not yet begun.

Vegetables and fruits. Cherries and strawberries, asparagus and celery – there are many healthy natural products in local markets.

Tenerife in March is certainly good, but still not perfect. Here are the minuses distinguished by tourists who visited here in early spring:

Cold ocean. The water is not yet suitable for swimming, so on the beaches you will have to limit yourself to sunbathing.

Cool evenings.

Winds. At the beginning of spring, such a natural phenomenon as Kalima is possible – sandy winds from the desert. Kalima lasts only a couple of days, sunglasses and a hat save you from the sandy haze.

Weather in Tenerife in March

The weather in Tenerife in March-April is comfortable for excursions, but not very suitable for swimming. However, tourists do not deny themselves the pleasure of relaxing on the beach in a sun lounger, sunbathing and breathing in the healing sea air.

The weather in early March is unstable. Rain is possible, as well as large gaps between day and night temperatures. The good news is that the length of daylight is increasing, which means that there is more time for excursions.

The temperature in Tenerife rises in mid-March, but it is still cool in the evenings (you will need a sweater for walking). Don’t let the pleasant coolness fool you – it’s very easy to burn out under the March sun.

Approximately in the middle of the month, the island is covered with Kalima (in other words, dry wind). Hot wind originates in Africa and drives warm air to Tenerife. Since Kalima is a mixture of grains of sand and dust from the Sahara, this natural phenomenon impairs visibility, “blurring” the horizon line.

The weather in Tenerife at the end of March is sunny and warm. There are practically no cloudy days during this period. Guests of Tenerife enjoy the piercing blue cloudless sky.

The weather on the island varies from region to region. The north is always colder than the south. Accordingly, the ocean warms up on the northern coast much later. In the south, the rains practically stop, unlike the north (by the way, it is precisely because of the frequent rains that this part of the island is buried in greenery).

Air and water temperature

Tenerife’s local subtropical climate is very attractive to foreigners. There is no pronounced heat and severe frosts here (snow lies only on mountain peaks). The off-season is warm, but often rainy.

Air temperature in Tenerife in March

The average daily temperature in Tenerife in March is +17.4 °С. At night, the thermometer drops to +13.2 °C. Despite such low figures, it is better to take sunscreen and glasses, because the March rays are quite deceptive, it is very easy to burn out at this time.

The ocean is slowly warming up. The average ocean water temperature in March is +18.8°C. Only the most hardened guests of the island will be able to swim, but even small children do not neglect the chance to sunbathe.

Precipitation

Only 2 rainy days are expected for the whole month, bringing with them 24.6 mm of precipitation. Bad weather does not spoil the impressions of the holiday. It is quite possible to do without an umbrella and a raincoat.

Sunny, cloudy, overcast days

Don’t forget to bring glasses, as the number of sunny days is 61% (19 days). Cloudy skies are also not uncommon here – 32% of the time the sun hides behind fluffy clouds. Cloudy days are also possible, but they are not so many – only 7%.

Beach holidays in Tenerife

As we mentioned above, the waters of the Atlantic in early spring are still cool. True, this does not stop some daredevils; on local beaches, even in early March, you can meet a couple of bathers. However, the water is too cold for children, so it is better not to risk their health and not let them splash in the salty waves.

Local beaches are definitely worth a visit, even if swimming is not possible. While the kids are making sand castles, adults are relaxing in a sun lounger with a book. In addition, sea and mountain air is very good for health, as well as sunbathing.

Since the Canary Islands are of volcanic origin, you can see black sand on the local beaches of Tenerife. Exotic, which attracts those who want to take an unforgettable photo, is not found everywhere, there are also ordinary places with yellow sand (most often imported).

Southern part

In the south it is warmer and less windy, so in March there are much more tourists here than in other regions of the island. This part of the coast is suitable for families with children, because, in addition to the above advantages, there is also a gentle slope into the water, there are breakwaters that make swimming completely safe.

In addition, in the south, in the resort villages of the island of Las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos, the best and well-equipped beaches of the island are located.

There are a lot of cafes and shops along the coast. On the beaches, tourists are offered a wide range of water activities: diving and snorkeling, surfing and windsurfing.

North

If we talk about the north side of Tenerife, then in this region the weather conditions are a little worse – the thermometer marks are lower, it rains much more often. However, the north has such a plus as incredible nature: this part of the island is simply buried in greenery and flowers. In addition, all swimming areas are covered with natural black sand. If you want unique pictures – you are here.

The beaches of local resorts are not protected from the winds, they are not suitable for families, but they are an ideal place for active pastime, in particular surfing. Calm almost never happens here, calm ocean and sunny weather are a rarity on the northern beaches in March.

Quiet resort towns are located to the east and west, usually sparsely populated. As for the beaches, there are both well-equipped areas and “wild” beach areas.

All beaches belong to the city and not to specific hotels. Tourists can freely get to absolutely any territory of the coast. The rental of sun loungers and umbrellas is paid, but the entrance to the beach is free.

Sightseeing holidays in Tenerife

Don’t be discouraged by the fact that you can’t splash in the ocean all day, because there are so many interesting things on the island that you just have time to find time for excursions. Moreover, long walks are quite comfortable even in early March.

When it comes to the sights of Tenerife, the first thing that comes to mind is the active volcano Teide. Therefore, start your excursion program with a visit to the national park, on the territory of which the main attraction of Tenerife is located.

Family fun in Tenerife

Teide National Park

A majestic volcano rises in the middle of the vast territory of the park (its height reaches 3500 m). Climbing to the top is a mandatory item on the list of things to do in Tenerife (the ascent is carried out both on foot and by funicular).

The park has a diverse flora and fauna, at the foot of the volcano you can see the remains of lava, frozen in bizarre shapes. One of these frozen monuments even has its own name – the Finger of God, and is a symbol of Spain. At the end of March, nature begins to bloom in full force, so the park is fragrant and full of different colors.

Pyramids of Guimar

Perhaps the most mysterious attraction of the island are the pyramids of Guimar. The mystery of this place lies in the fact that experts have not yet figured out its history. The structure is made of rectangular stones of volcanic origin, which are stacked in a stepped structure. The shape of the Guimar pyramid resembles the pyramids of Mexico and Peru.

There is an ethnographic park around, where there is a museum, which houses an exposition dedicated to the research of Thor Heirdal. This traveler made a huge contribution to the study of the pyramids of Guimar.

Plaza de España

In the capital of the island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there is a huge square that is ideal for walking. Plaza de España sits close to the coast, and you’ll also find the historic ruins of the San Cristobal tower nearby. During the tour, tourists have the opportunity to see the city hall, fountains, a pond with sea water, monuments, ancient arches and more. In addition, there are three pavilions, from which you can get into a real dungeon.

Those who come to the island with children should visit the following places:

Loro Parque (Parrot Park)

Monkey Park

Jungle Park

Siam Park water entertainment center

Aqualand

The island has a huge number of attractions that will be interesting not only for adults, but also for children of all ages. In addition, the weather conditions in early spring are ideal for long outdoor walks.

Holidays, events, festivals

March 19 is celebrated on the island Father’s Day , or, as the locals call it, José’s Day . No events are held on this day, but there are big discounts on “men’s” goods in stores. This is a great chance to buy perfume or cufflinks at an affordable price.

Carnival can still be found in the southern part of the island (festival events last the entire first week of March). On the streets of Los Gigantes, Playa de la Arena and Puerto de Santiago, an atmosphere of contagious fun reigns. It is simply impossible to resist incendiary dances and loud chants.

As you can see, holidays in Tenerife in March are rare. However, do not be upset, because even without festivities there are options for a fun pastime.

Holiday prices in March

Holidays in the Canary Islands can hardly be called cheap. But if you compare prices in Tenerife in March with other months, then tourists pay a little less than in the high season, and a little more than in winter.

Prices of tours

Travel agencies in March will please you with their democratic prices. In the first month of spring, the weather is still unstable, so people prefer to wait with their holidays in Tenerife. The influx of visitors is expected only towards the end of the spring season.

Cost of the flight

With the advent of calendar spring, prices begin to rise gradually. In March, the flight will cost 4% more than in February. In April, the price rises by 4%.

Accommodation

As for accommodation, it is unlikely that you will be able to save money in March. At the beginning of spring, guests pay 14% more than in February. In mid-spring, the cost of a hotel room is 41% lower compared to March prices. In February, the average cost of living is 147 euros, in March – 168 euros, in April – 118 euros.

Hotels in Tenerife for families

Meals and transfers

Even if you are staying at an all inclusive hotel, you should still dine at local establishments at least once. Spanish cuisine is considered one of the best in the world, so hurry up and see for yourself. Lunch in an inexpensive cafe costs about 10-15 euros, but a similar meal in a restaurant will cost 60-70 euros.

The TITSA bus network is well developed on the island, the fare for public transport depends on the mileage. In general, the price varies from 2 to 10 euros. Taxis also run between the resorts of Tenerife (landing – about 3 euros, each subsequent kilometer – 1 euro).

How to dress in Tenerife

Do not fill your suitcase with warm clothes. During the day it is quite comfortable to walk in shorts, T-shirts and light dresses. In the evenings, you will have to wear more closed things: jeans, sweatshirts, and sometimes even windbreakers.

Even though the ocean water is still chilly, bring your swimsuit. You can sunbathe on the local beaches, and swim in the hotel pools. Swimwear will also be required when visiting water parks. We do not recommend buying white swimwear for relaxing on the beach – black volcanic sand will quickly turn the fabric gray.

For shoes, it is recommended to take sandals, flip flops and sneakers. Also don’t forget a hat and sunscreen to protect you from heatstroke and sunburn.

Recommendations for families with children

It is impossible to say unequivocally whether Tenerife in March is good for a family vacation or bad. Pastime here is so multifaceted that you can highlight both its pluses and minuses.

Holidays with children in Tenerife: guide Kidpassage

For those who are focused exclusively on a beach holiday, it is better to come here a little later, closer to summer. But visitors who want to acquaint children with local attractions will be satisfied with their spring trip.

Tenerife in March is not bad for a family holiday. The only thing that can leave a negative impression is the winds and the cold ocean. Otherwise, the island will please with an abundance of greenery and a rich excursion program.

The island of eternal spring is the most unique and therefore the most visited place in the entire Canary archipelago. Don’t believe? Then read Kidpassage’s article “13 interesting facts about Tenerife”. After a correspondence acquaintance with this corner of Spain, you will definitely want to visit here.

After visiting the Alhambra in Granada, drive half an hour south and you will be on the beach! The Costa Tropical of Granada province consists of particularly picturesque beaches. It’s perfect for a small coastal road trip in Spain and it is also far less crowded than its popular neighbour, the Costa del Sol.

The Costa Tropical is made up of the coastline of Granada province, the next province East of Malaga. Interestingly, this stretch of coastline was given its’ name due to the effects of its subtropical microclimate.

Along much of the Costa Tropical, mountains run right down to the beach, forming a series of stunning headlands and protected coves and beaches. The horseshoe-shaped bay at La Herradura is a lovely unspoilt example.

Due to such a feature, this coastline is very popular among climbers and hikers alike. Not to mention those visiting to turn their hand to one of the many sports and water sports this coast is famous for.

Let’s discover more about the main coasts and Spanish beach cities in Southern Spain! “Costa de Almería” or “Golfo de Almería” is the coastal strip of the province of Almería. It covers 217 kilometers and extends through the southeast of Andalusia, between the provinces of Granada and Murcia.

The highlights of this coast are its contrasts, along with extensive sandy beaches we find small coves. Along with extremely arid deserts, plantations; along with the great mountain ranges, plains and beaches.

Another feature is its clear and bright sky. Almería enjoys more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. Its climate is subtropical, Mediterranean, warm and dry. The average annual temperature is 18 / 19º C and its waters in winter are warmer than the air. So, it’s an optimal destination throughout the year and with less known but great Southern Spain coastal resorts

On the Costa de Almería there are still numerous virgin and solitary beaches. In fact, we can mostly find unexplored territories with very little population concentration.

Only some spots have been developed for tourism with great success, like the coastal towns of Adra, Almerimar, Roquetas de Mar, Mojácar, Aguadulce, El Toyo and Vera.

Coastline of Spain: CATALONIA

Costa Brava (Girona)

Small port town in Costa Brava

Costa Brava: one of the most well-known of Spanish Coastal regions. The Costa Brava is located in the extreme northeast of Spain, next to the French border. This coastline of 214 km. It is located in the province of Gerona, in Catalonia. Also, extends from the border with France to the mouth of the La Tordera river, where the Costa del Maresme begins in the province of Barcelona.

The name of “Costa Brava” comes from the abrupt landscape that we find in many sections of this coast, where the waves break wild on the rocks. We find steep cliffs and hidden coves, surrounded by vegetation that can only be accessed by sea or coastal roads. Perfect for a Spain coastal road trip and with some of the best northern Spain coastal resorts!

Until the arrival of tourism, here were small fishing or farming villages. At the beginning of the 20th century, the natural beauty of the region attracted artists and writers, such as Marc Chagall, Picasso, Rusiñol or Dalí.

In 1930, the first vacationers began to arrive, still staying in traditional houses, living with fishermen and farmers. It was from 1950 when European tourists arrived. Also, around 1960 there was a great urban development in towns that had sandy beaches, such as Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar.

But still nowadays, you can find other beaches or coastal towns with a more abrupt coast that keep their traditional essence.

Costa Dorada (Tarragona)

As we could see in the “Coastline of Spain Map” in the beginning, Costa Dorada is the Mediterranean coast located in the province of Tarragona. It is located between Costa del Garraf, to the north and Costa del Azahar, to the south.

The name “gilthead” comes from the colour of the sand on its long beaches. Costa Dorada, also, covered this coastal strip south of Barcelona, where the famous Spain coastal town of Sitges is located. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild temperatures in winter (14 ° C on average) and warm summers (between 21º and 29º C) with little rainfall.

Costa Dorada covers a 92 km coastline with beaches of all kinds and Some of the best beaches in Spain coastal region are:

Mont-Roig del Camp small coves beaches, as “Miami Platja”

Torredembarra beach, for cliffs lovers

Salou, Calafell and Vendrell: fine sand and shallow depth beaches, such as

“Playa del Torn” for a nice naturist beach in Costa Dorada

Coastal Spain: VALENCIA

Costa Blanca (Alicante)

Following the Spain coastal path, we find Costa Blanca region, a strip of coastline that belongs to the province of Alicante. It is 200 kilometers long and offers wonderful beaches and places of exceptional beauty. Its warm and transparent waters, its palm groves and natural parks immerse those who visit it in an authentic paradise.

The name “Costa Blanca” is not surprising, when we see an aerial photo of this coast. In contrast to the intense blue of the Mediterranean, large white areas stand out, whether from its sandy beaches, clear rocky elevations or from villages with whitewashed houses. The name Costa Blanca was invented by the airlines “British European Airways” in 1957 as a “slogan” to promote an air connection between London and Valencia.

The benign climate, with more than 300 sunny days a year and an average annual temperature of 17 ° C, and a quality tourist offer, make the Costa Blanca a privileged Spain coastal destination throughout the year.

The Costa Blanca is a land of contrasts, where the mountains merge with the sea, creating dreamy cliffs and hidden coves with crystalline waters with the rich seabed. Here the beaches of fine golden sand alternate with small coves of boulders, gravel or rock.

Here, we can find very contrasting tourist destinations and Spain coastal towns follow each other with their special charm. We highlight the following Spain coastal cities, from north to south:

Denia: a beautiful historical and cultural city

Javea: a small fishing town

Calpe: with its impressive rock and its lively port

Altea: the artists’ paradise

Albir: a destination for a wide variety of tastes

Benidorm: the metropolis of leisure (especially for the elderly)

Cala Finestrat and El Campello: best family destinations next to Alicante

Costa del Azahar (Castellón)

Peñíscola, one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Spain

Costa del Azahar, one of the Spain coastal areas in Spain, is located way up north of the Costa Blanca and even further north of the city of Valencia. It’s a very lovely coastal region with plenty of cultural sights to see and visit.

The city of Castellon itself and such wonderful surrounding cities like Peniscola or Morella has a combination called Cultural Castellon which includes the theatre and museums, but there are many more fun activities and excursions to do! Some of the most beautiful Spain coastal towns located in Costa del Azahar are:

Peñiscola – located just north of Castellon and has a fantastic castle overlooking the beach which belonged the Pope known as ” Papa Luna”.

Torreblanca – also north of Castellon where you can enjoy a relaxing day on the beaches.

Vinaros – has the best fresh seafood like prawns and lobsters to be had while sitting at a restaurant right on the beach and accompanying them with red wine.

Morella – heading inland to a walled-in city surrounded by olive and almond trees. (see picture)

Jerica – to see the Arab ‘Mudejar’ architecture tower.

Spain Coastal Regions:

MURCIA
Costa Cálida (Murcia)

One of the most popular coasts for Spanish people along Spain Coastline is Costa Cálida. It is located in the Murcia region and has a 250-kilometre coastline with beaches of all kinds. The name of Costa Cálida derives from the fact that on this coast we find the warmest waters of the Mediterranean, with an average of 5 ° C more than the rest of the beaches.

This higher temperature comes from being located in the Gulf of Mazarrón, a wide gulf between Cabo de Palos (Murcia) and Cabo de Gata (Almería). It makes the cold currents of the Atlantic Ocean that enter through the Strait of Gibraltar pass without affecting the water temperature.

Right in the centre of this bay, a deeper arch is formed called the Mazarrón Bay. And it is here where Mazarrón is located with its warm beaches. Further south, and also in this warm area of the gulf, is El Mar Menor, the largest lagoon or saltwater lagoon in Europe. This great lagoon is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a 22 km strip of sand, called La Manga del Mar Menor.

It’s a perfect choice if you want to have your Spain coastal holidays like a local. There are not so many coastal resorts in this part of Spain, but you can still find some nice apartments and coastal villas for your summer vacation in Southern Spain.

Spanish Coastline: GALICIA

Rías Gallegas

Cies Islands in Galicia

They say that the Galician estuaries, those long arms of the sea that penetrate the earth, are the imprint of the fingers of God who, after creating the world, supported his hand here to rest.

And perhaps it is true because, in the intricate 1,498 km of coastline that goes from Vigo to Ribadeo, the estuaries are a unique phenomenon, a gift from heaven.

From east to west, from north to south, from the Rías Altas to the Rías Baixas, passing through those of the Costa Ártabra and those of A Costa da Morte, each Galician estuary is a refuge that houses a world of natural riches, landscapes with a story to tell.

Cliffs and beaches with calm waters, vineyards and pine forests, fishing villages, marinas, “pazos” with gardens on the edge of the water and what for many is the best of the estuaries, splendid gastronomy with a taste of the sea.

Spain Coastline:

PAIS VASCO Y CANTABRIA
Costa de Cantabria y Costa vasca

Let’s see other spanish coastline town. So, Cantabria is an eminently coastal region and the majority of its population lives by the sea. For this reason, it is not surprising that Santander itself is located in a wide bay, that is the largest and safest natural port between Bordeaux and La Coruña. We can also find beautiful coastal towns such as the ancient and noble Santillana de Mar, where it is located the world-famous Altamira Cave.

The Cantabrian coast, like Galicia, has many estuaries, which gives the coastline a convoluted perimeter where wide sandy beaches alternate with mountains and steep cliffs.

Right next to Cantabria beaches, we have the Basque coast which is located in the north of Spain in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. This 176 km coastal strip is located on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea next to the French border.

Here the intense blue of the Cantabrian Sea merges with the green of the mountains that descend to the beach, forming a coast dotted with fishing villages, beaches and steep cliffs.

Coastline of Northern Spain:

ASTURIAS
Costa Verde (Asturias)

The last, but not least, of the Spain main coastal regions: Costa Verde! The name of Costa Verde does not surprise us when we see the color of this coastline where sandy coves and imposing cliffs follow one another, and sometimes deep estuaries open where picturesque fishing villages seek shelter.

The coast offers many beaches and sandy coves bathed by the cool waters of the Cantabrian Sea. Inside there are green meadows and pine and eucalyptus forests under the protection of the mountains.

Starting our journey in the extreme west, next to Galicia and heading east towards Cantabria, the first thing we find is two beautiful fishing villages: Castropol and Figueras. Make sure not to miss them: I can assure they are among Spain best coastal towns!

They occupy the eastern bank of the Ría de Ribadeo, bordering Galicia and are a quiet summer destination that offers all the comforts and the possibility of practising water sports. To the east are other picturesque towns such as Tapia de Casariego and Ortigueira, in a rocky cove.

Continuing along the coast we reach the northern Spain coastal town of Luarca, lying on a promontory at the foot of a church with a secluded cemetery. This picturesque town has a beautiful port full of colourful boats. It’s a perfect spot for an off the beaten path summer holiday in coastal Spain and other spanish coastline towns.

17 Most Beautiful Regions of Spain (with Map)

While most of Spain’s vast landmass is located on the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe, it also includes the volcanic archipelago of the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa and the beautiful Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Spain is home to a vast array of different landscapes, with numerous mountain ranges such as the Pyrenees lying alongside beautiful countryside, dramatic valleys, and gorgeous wine regions, while its long scenic coastline stretches along the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Biscay, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Among all this stunning scenery are a wealth of historic towns and thriving cities for you to visit, with Sevilla, Madrid, and Barcelona just some of the most impressive.

Andalusia

Covering Spain’s southern coastline, Andalusia is a fascinating part of the country to visit. It is home to breathtaking landscapes, beautiful Moorish architecture, and a wealth of marvelous historical and cultural landmarks.

Here you’ll find the magnificent Sierra Nevada range, which features the peninsula’s tallest mountains. The arid desert scenery hosts the glittering Lake Negratin and a plethora of glorious beaches along the Costa del Sol and the Costa de la Luz; Andalusia is awash with stunning natural sights that make for some fantastic hiking, horse riding, and rock climbing.

Tucked away among its many marvels are magnificent towns such as Ronda and Ubeda for you to check out, while the seaside towns of Marbella and Malaga are top-rated amongst holidaymakers for their beautiful beaches.

As the region used to be ruled by the Moors and the Romans, there are loads of historic towns on boasting everything from old medieval cities and crumbling fortresses to massive cathedrals and awe-inspiring palaces; Almeira, Cadiz, Cordoba, and Sevilla are particularly impressive. Additionally, the magnificent Moorish architecture at the Alhambra in Granada really is a must-see when in the region.

Aragon

Tucked away in the north of Spain on the border with France, Aragon is a very historic region, as it was here that the Crown of Aragon was once based, with its former capital of Zaragoza being the largest and most impressive city to visit.

With part of the Pyrenees running through it, Aragon is very mountainous, and lots of astounding valleys cut their way through its fertile farmland and barren steppes; Aigueta de Barbaruens and Isabena are just two of the most amazing to squeeze into your itinerary.

Lots of scenic hillside towns and villages dot the area, and from Alquezar and Hecho, there are a wealth of great outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountaineering, and canyoning.

Loads of lovely rivers meander through Aragon’s sparsely populated countryside. Due to its remote and wild feel, it is an ideal destination for people looking to get away from it all and immerse themselves in nature, while still benefiting from the architectural marvels that can be found in Teruel.

Asturias

Hugging the northern coastline of the country, the small region of Asturias borders the Bay of Biscay, and its rugged, cliff-filled coast is punctuated here and there with beautiful sandy beaches and scenic coves.

Its mountainous interior is equally delightful; covered in glorious woodland, it is for good reason that Asturias – as well as the neighboring regions of Galicia and Cantabria – are commonly referred to as ‘Green Spain.’ There is lots of splendid nature to explore here, with Picos de Europa National Park and Parque Natural de Somiedo offering some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Spain.

Although it is undoubtedly lovely to explore, the weather here can be a bit unpredictable; the climate can change quite quickly due to the region’s proximity to both the sea and the mountains.

Away from its beautiful mountains and stunning coastline, Asturias boasts some fabulous towns and cities, with Oviedo and Gijon being particularly interesting to visit due to their wealth of impressive historical sights and cultural landmarks – some of them date back to Roman times.

Balearic Islands

Encompassing both Mallorca and Minorca, the party island of Ibiza, and the quieter Formentera, the Balearic Islands are located in the Mediterranean Sea. The small archipelago is a very popular holiday destination with visitors from all around Europe and further afield.

Blessed with excellent weather, beautiful beaches, charming seaside towns, and much, much more besides, the islands really are fantastic to visit; each has a unique look and identity, and the sparkling waters all around only add to their attraction.

While Ibiza is renowned for its party scene, Formentera presents a much quieter and more relaxing alternative. Mallorca and Minorca – the two largest of the islands – are home to stunning scenery, a plethora of historic sights, and fantastic towns and cities such as Mao, Valdemossa, and Palma de Mallora; this is the largest city in the Balearic Islands and boasts a truly impressive Gothic cathedral.

Basque Country

With its own distinct language, culture, history, and identity, the Basque Country in the north of Spain really stands apart from the rest of the country; this is in large part, what makes it such an interesting place to visit.

Lying on the Bay of Biscay, the region sports a very diverse geography and topography. Mountains, valleys, and rivers cut through parts of it, while other areas are home to the Atlantic Basin and Alava Plains; the latter is covered in picturesque vineyards and charming wineries.

Tucked away along its scenic coastline and among its picturesque countryside, you can find lots of exciting cities and towns to visit, with Bilbao – the largest city in the region – and San Sebastian among its most popular destinations.

Canary Islands

Lying off the northwest coast of Africa, the volcanic archipelago of the Canary Islands is awash with beautiful, lunar-like landscapes. Coupled with its warm weather and inviting beaches, it should come as no surprise to learn that they are for a top-rated destination with holidaymakers.

While Tenerife is the largest, most populous, and most popular island due to its incredible beaches and stunning mountain scenery (which is dominated by El Tiede – Spain’s tallest mountain), each of the islands has something special to offer.

For instance, Lanzarote, with its breathtaking volcanic landscapes is breathtakingly beautiful, while La Gomera’s ravine-filled terrain is a dream for hikers and Gran Canaria has lots of great nightlife for you to explore. All in all, the Canary Islands make for a fantastic holiday destination.

There is an incredible array of ways in which you can enjoy the beautiful nature all around you, whether you choose to hike and climb in the hills and mountains or swim and sail in the sparkling waters.

Cantabria

Also considered part of ‘Green Spain,’ Cantabria borders the Bay of Biscay in the north of the country. Home to lots of lush vegetation, it is quite a wet place due to its location between the spectacular Cantabrian Mountains and the ocean.

While traveling around the fertile and mountainous region, you’ll come across lots of wonderful nature. Its low-lying coastal strip is equally delightful to explore, as beautiful beaches and lovely fishing villages dot its coastline. Santander – the capital of Cantabria – is its largest and most important city.

Due to its mountainous topography, there are lots of beautiful caves dotted around its rolling countryside, with those of Monte el Castillo and Covalanas particularly worth checking out. In addition to this, there are a number of beautiful nature parks scattered around Cantabria. Santona, Victoria, and Joyel Marshes Natural Park are very popular amongst birdwatchers who come to watch them winter amongst the wetlands on their way to southern climates.

Castile and León

Covering a vast swathe of territory in the center of the country, the region of Castile and Leon mainly lies on a huge plateau that is bordered by various mountain ranges. Picos de Europa and the Moncayo Massif are the most impressive, with the latter home to the highest peak in the region, San Miguel.

Away from its mountains, the region boasts the scenic Douro river and the spectacular rugged scenery of Las Medulas, which is very distinctive.

History also abounds in Castile and Leon, with Leon, Salamanca, and Valladolid its most popular draws due to their scenic centers, amazing architectural sights, magnificent monuments, and more.

Castilla-La Mancha

Lying to the southeast of Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha is famed for being the setting of the famous novel Don Quixote. Its windswept plateau is still home to the centuries-old windmills that the fictional character fought in the book.

Despite being almost desert-like in parts, the region is also home to some fantastic vineyards and wineries. Low-lying mountain ranges border its endless sprawling plains in the northwest and southeast.

Tucked away among its uninviting yet beautifully desolate landscapes are lots of great towns, such as Cuenca and Toledo; both of them boast marvelous cathedrals and lovely medieval centers.

Catalonia

The heartland of Catalan culture and identity, Catalonia in the northeast of Spain boasts a wonderful array of beautiful landscapes for you to explore. It is bordered by the Pyrenees in the north and blessed with a gorgeous, beach-filled coastline as best exhibited at the Costa Brava.

The majestic city of Barcelona is the vibrant capital of the region; here you can find everything from astounding art galleries and incredible architecture (in the shape of La Sagrada Familia) to pulsating nightlife, fantastic sporting events, and fine dining.

The rest of the region is similarly intoxicating, with Girona and Tarragona sporting a wealth of historical sights, while Lloret de Mar and Salou are famous beach resorts.

Community of Madrid

Although it is dominated by the nation’s capital that lies right at its heart, the Community of Madrid has a lot more to offer visitors; the history-filled towns of Alcala de Henares, Aranjuez, and El Escorial are just some of its most fantastic sights.

Its main draw, however, is Madrid. Here, you’ll find a myriad of incredible monuments and museums, as well as lots of fascinating historical and cultural landmarks. There’s also a thriving fine dining and nightlife scene to hit up after the sun sets.

Although often overlooked by visitors, who instead flock to Spain’s cosmopolitan capital, the medieval towns of Chinchon and Buitrago del Lozoya are well worth checking out, as are the wonderful mountains in the Guadarrama National Park.

Extremadura

Lying in the central west region of Spain bordering Portugal, Extremadura is a very wild and remote part of the country, which sees relatively few visitors in comparison with other more popular regions.

While parts of Extremadura are quite mountainous, four hydrographic basins punctuate its scenic landscape; it is this diverse array of habitats which make it so fascinating to hike or cycle through. You’ll often find yourself alone with the spectacular nature all around you, as it is quite sparsely populated.

Tucked away among its fantastic countryside are some brilliant medieval towns, such as Caceres and Trujillo, while Merida has lots of fascinating archaeological sites dating all the way back to Roman times.

Galicia

The most northwestern region in the country, Galicia makes up part of ‘Green Spain.’ It is primarily known for being home to the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, which is the culmination of the fantastic Camino de Compostela pilgrimage route.

Galicia boasts some absolutely gorgeous scenery and its long coastline is home to lots of jagged peninsulas that protrude into the Atlantic Ocean. The spectacular Rias Baixas are four deep river valleys which cut through the surrounding countryside and are full of fertile vineyards and wineries.

In addition to its stunning natural features, Galicia boasts a rich cultural heritage, with A Coruna, Tui, and Ribadavia all home to lots of incredible architecture, historical sights, and cultural landmarks displaying the region’s proud heritage.

La Rioja

Covering part of the Ebro Valley and the Iberian Range, La Rioja in the north of Spain is famous for its fantastic wines. Tucked away among its many mountains, rivers, and valleys, you’ll find lots of scenic vineyards and internationally renowned wineries.

While Logrono is the capital of the region, it is well worth venturing further afield; Briones and San Millan de la Cogolla are very picturesque and have a lot of interesting historical sights on show.

The sparsely populated region is also home to lots of beautiful cathedrals and monasteries that are scattered around here and there, and many pilgrims pass through La Rioja while following the scenic Way of St. James.

Navarre

Bordering France in the north of the country, Navarre is home to two contrasting landscapes; the impressive Pyrenees mountain range makes up much of its territory, while the low plains around the Ebro river valley form the rest.

While lots of delightful medieval monuments and towns litter its picturesque countryside, it is Pamplona with its famous Running of the Bulls festival that attracts the most visitors. The region’s largest and most populous city has lots for you to see and do the rest of the year as well, as it is bursting with beautiful buildings, leafy parks, and pretty palaces.

In addition to this, the historic towns of Olite and Tafalla are also well worth checking out, with Tuleda being the only other city of note in Navarre.

Region of Murcia

Located in the southeast of the country, the region of Murcia is a delightful place to visit. Its myriad of interesting sights offer the perfect combination of history, culture, beaches and nature.

As around two-thirds of its territory is made up of stunning mountains and valleys, there are loads of great outdoor activities – such as hiking and mountain biking – for you to enjoy, while its low lying plateaus and flatlands slowly give way to its glittering coastline.

Lots of rivers also snake their way through the region, and one of its most remarkable natural sights is the Mar Menor – a huge salty lagoon which is ideal for watersports.

Hidden away amid these diverse landscapes are lots of little charming towns and villages, each with its own local festivities and customs on show. The capital of the region, Murcia, is also well worth a visit, as it has some fantastic Baroque churches and museums scattered around town.

Valencian Community

Centered around Valencia (the largest, most populous city in the region) on the southeast coast of Spain, the Valencian Community is awash with beautiful nature. Its many fines beaches are bordered by the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean.

Due to its stunning scenery, warm, climate, and wealth of seaside towns and resorts, it is a trendy place to visit among holidaymakers, with the Costa Blanca around Alicante being one of its main draws.

In addition to its lovely coastline, the region also has lots of great historical sights and museums for visitors to enjoy, while its warm waters lend themselves perfectly to all kinds of watersports. Alongside the vibrant Valencia, popular towns to visit include Gandia, Benidorm, Alicante and Bunol, which is home to the world-famous La Tomatina festival.

Spanish Costas / Costas Of Spain

The Spanish Costas are the coastal areas of the mainland but also both sets of islands. Many often confuse these for belonging to the mainland only.

There are 10 main Spanish Costas and several smaller coastlines in total. In the southern areas the most popular are the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Our map on this page shows most of these areas if you need a visual reference. Tossa de Mar and Blanes are two other super destinations here.

In the northeast is the Costa Brava which shares a border with France. There are several top locations here with Lloret de Mar being the most popular. Tossa de Mar and Blanes are two other super destinations here. This part of Spain was the first to undergo major improvements as part of the tourism boom in the 1950’s.

If you follow the coastline south you will come to the Costa Dorada which is also in the northeast. The literal translation is “Golden Coast” a reference to the sun shining on the beaches. Salou is not only the top location here but in all Spain. If you want to sample traditional Spain then the town of Cambrils is not far.

Detailed map of spain with regions. Spain on the world map

Where is beautiful Spain on the world map? The official name – the Kingdom of Spain is a sovereign state, which is located in the southwestern part of Europe and partly in Africa. The country occupies about 80% of the Iberian Peninsula and 20% of the Canary and Balearic Islands. From the west the country borders
with Portugal, from the south
with Gibraltar, in North Africa with Morocco and from the north
with Andorra and France.

The flight time to Spain depends on which city you arrive in, for example, in Mallorca you will arrive in four and a half hours.

On the map of the coast of Spain, we can see that the country is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the north and west, and the waters of the Mediterranean Sea from the south and east. Spain is a wonderful country for recreation and tourism. The main places for a beach holiday can be called: Costa Brava, Costa Dorada and Costa del Maresme. The most populous in terms of tourism can be called Barcelona and Salou, and in Magay there is the largest port in the country.

A detailed map in Russian with all the most popular cities and resorts in Spain can be found on our website. As for entertainment, Mallorca and Ibiza offer just a huge number of discos and nightclubs. And the Canary Islands are the most popular year-round resort, thanks to their tropical climate.

The coast of Spain, stretching for almost 5,000 kilometers, has 17 very different coasts: 11 in the Mediterranean and 6 in the Atlantic. This compilation of information about the most popular resort areas is.

First we will talk about Mediterranean coast
. The waters of the Mediterranean are warmer than the waters of the Atlantic coast. Perhaps that is why they attract tourists more.

So, in more detail about all the Costa ( in Spanish – “coast
“), bordering the Kingdom of Spain in the east, and stretching from north to south.

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean coast of Spain starts from the north of the country, from Catalonia. There are four coasts in this autonomous community.

The most beautiful natural site of the Costa de Valencia is Cape Cullera
. Here the mountains come close to the sea, which creates not only a picturesque view, but also a healthy microclimate.

A solid beach paradise, very popular and visited by Europeans, especially the British – Gandia, the former residence of Borgia (Spanish noble family from the autonomous region of Aragon – Ed.)
. Gandia generally looks like a wide and many kilometers long beach interspersed with hotels. Sea cliffs and cliffs provide a wonderful variety, but overall it’s just solid sand and dunes. Tourist Spain started here half a century ago.

Costa de Valencia

The Costa de Valencia is often mistakenly combined with the Costa del Azahar and the Costa Blanca. Sometimes the name of the region is called the entire Mediterranean coast of the region of Valencia.

In winter, the coast is about 18-20 degrees, in summer – about 30. The beaches on the Costa de Valencia are mostly sandy, there are both steep slopes and gentle ones, where you can walk for a long time, and plunge only up to your waist.

Historical information

The territory of modern Spain was conquered by the Romans; then Christian states began to form. In the VIII century, almost the entire territory of the Iberian Peninsula was captured by the Arabs. The states of Leon, Aragon and Castile began a war for the return of lands from the Moors, which was called the Reconquista.

In 1515 a single monarchy is formed. In the XV-XVI centuries, the Spaniards discover new lands and send ships to the New World. In the XVII century, after the defeat in the war with England, the “Invincible Armada” loses its strength. In the 18th century, the War of the Spanish Succession begins. In the 19th century, 5 revolutions take place that lead to the creation of a constitutional monarchy.

In 1939, the military dictatorship of F. Franco, who supported Nazi Germany, spread in Spain. In 1947, Spain became a kingdom again.

Land borders

Who borders Spain

Spain shares borders with 5 countries: Morocco, Andorra, France, Portugal and Gibraltar. The country is washed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic Ocean. Of the above countries, Portugal has the longest border with Spain. The Spanish province of Ourense has many points from where you can cross the border to other countries. Most of them are rural villages.

Spain-Portugal border

“La Raya” is an international land border shared by Spain and Portugal. Spain has seven provinces along the border; Ourense, Badajoz, Pontevedra, Zamora, Huelva, Cáceres and Salamanca, while Portugal has ten districts along the border: Faro, Beja, Evora, Portalegre, Castelo Branco, Guarda, Bragança, Vila Real, Braga and Viana do – Castelo.

The border with Portugal

The border between Spain and Portugal was delimited as a result of numerous treaties signed centuries ago. The earliest of these treaties was the Treaty of Zamora of 1143, which led to the formation of Portugal and its international borders. The most recent of the agreements is the 1926 Boundary Convention. However, the 1297 Alkanite Treaty is considered the most important agreement. The treaty was signed by Kings Denis and Fernando IV of Portugal.

Olivenza

Olivença is a region along the border between Spain and Portugal whose ownership is disputed by the two countries. According to Spain, the region is part of the autonomous community of Extremadura, while Portugal considers the city to be part of its Alto Alentejo province. However, the rule of the province of Olivenza is carried out by the Spanish authorities. About 11,512 people live in this region.

Spain-France

France borders on the northern part of Spain. The Spain-France border is the second largest international border. It is important to note that the border begins in the Bay of Biscay near the cities of Hyundai and Irun to the east by the Mediterranean Sea near the cities of Portbou and Cerbera. However, the border is interrupted by Andorra after a few hundred kilometers. Ariege, Haute-Garonne, Pyrenees-Eastern, Hautes-Pyrenees and Pyrenees-Atlantiques belong to France, along which the border runs. In Spain, the border passes through five provinces: Lleida, Gipuzkoa, Girona, Huesca and Navarra.

Spain-Gibraltar border

The British Territory of Gibraltar also shares a land border with Spain. Also known as the “Top of Gibraltar” (Granada of Gibraltar), the border separates Gibraltar from La Linea de la Concepción, a Spanish municipality. The border was established as a result of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, signed by the Kingdom of Spain and Great Britain. However, Spain claims that it does not recognize the border, claiming sovereignty over Gibraltar. At the border there is a high fence, which was built in 1909 UK.

Gibraltar

Andorra and Morocco

The nearest major cities in Spain to Andorra are Barcelona and Lleida (Lleida), which are approximately 200 and 150 km away respectively. The biggest problem at the border is smuggling, especially tobacco. This product is sold in Andorea at low prices. Although Spain is located on a different continent, Spain also shares a land border with Morocco through the Penon de Vélez de la Gomera and the autonomous cities of Melilla and Ceuta.

Please note!
The largest airport in Spain is located in Madrid. Tourists planning a holiday on the Costa Brava can come to Catalonia. Barcelona International Airport is located 12 km from Girona.

River Tahoe
, also known as Tagus, is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. Starting in the mountains east of Madrid and running through Teruel and Toledo to central Spain before crossing the Spanish-Portuguese border, the river enters the sea at Lisbon. As you know, this is a large river that flows through steep rocky valleys. This region is not suitable for building structures. It has many reservoirs that are used to generate hydroelectric power.

River Ebro
is not the longest, but it is considered the most voluminous river in Spain. The river originates from the Spanish mainland, starting at Pico de los Tres Mares, Cantabria and emptying into the Mediterranean Sea at Tarragona. Here is the Ebro Delta, which covers an area of up to 320 km². It is one of the greatest wetlands in Europe and is used to grow citrus fruits, vegetables as well as rice.

Many rivers in Spain irrigate fertile lands that are used for agriculture (for growing olives, grapes and other fruits and vegetables). Guadalquivir
is Spain’s most famous river, providing water to the fertile valley of Andalusia, creating rich agricultural land. The name Guadalquivir comes from the Arabic al-Wadi al-Kabir, which means “great river”.

Duero River
also provides an agricultural area, Ribera del Duero. This region is famous for its vineyards and excellent red wines. The river flows from Soria to north-central Spain, flows to Portugal, passing through North Meseta and the city of Zamora.

Due to such heterogeneity of the population in the country, internal problems from time to time become aggravated. For example, Spain is the largest EU country among those who do not want to recognize Kosovo, for the reason that it has similar problems with the Basque population.

Recently, the situation has been developing in the direction of aggravating such problems, as the flow of immigrants from African countries, both legal and criminal, is increasing in Spain.

Currency
Today, the euro is used in Spain, this currency was introduced in 2002. Currency exchange is not a problem, it is carried out through banks. There are also numerous exchange offices, which offer a more favorable exchange rate than in bank branches.

Climate and weather on the Costa Brava

The main feature of the weather conditions of the coast is the presence of cold tramontana, a wind blowing from the northeast and not allowing the air to warm up to exhausting heat. In spring and autumn, other winds are also frequent in the zone, each brings its own aroma – resins, pine needles or salt – and paints the sea in different tones. In general, the region is characterized by a pleasant Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters. The temperature in the summer months rarely exceeds +30C, and in the cold season it does not fall below +10C. In July-August, the sea warms up to + 25C, which especially attracts those who like to swim in refreshing water, and not in “fresh milk”.

The Costa Brava on the map of Spain

The “wild coast” stretches for 220 km along the Mediterranean Sea, from the delta of the Tordera River in Blanes to the town of Portbou on the border with France. In the south it is a strip of white sandy beaches, and further north – a chain of small bays with azure water, lost between picturesque impregnable rocks. From the west, the region is bordered by the mountains of the Pyrenean Range, which reliably protect from the winds and create a unique healing microclimate.

Resorts on the Costa Brava

Let’s find out where is the best place to relax on this wonderful island.

Lloret de Mar

The “pioneer” of mass tourism and the most democratic of the resort towns of the Costa Brava was founded in the 4th century BC. A successful “gentlemen’s package”, including wide sandy beaches, picturesque bays, interesting architecture and a vibrant nightlife, has turned it from a quiet fishing village into a favorite place for Europeans of all ages. Sights include the charming Gothic church of Sant Roma, the oldest castle of Sant Joan, the modernist cemetery or the church of St. Christina with an altar of Italian marble and a curious collection of miniature ships.

Tossa de Mar

Picturesque medieval fortress on Guardi Hill, narrow streets and blue sea – Tossa is rightly called the most beautiful corner of the Mediterranean. However, behind the carefree shell hides the dense past of a fishing village, with thousands of years of pirate raids and natural disasters. Suffering from pirate attacks, it was built up strictly inside the fortress wall, so the entire Old Town, with its temples, shops and coffee shops, is now hiding under its canopy. This is where the Costa Brava is home to the Museum of Painting, with a good collection of numerous artists in residence, including Chagall and Picasso, the neoclassical Temple of San Vincent, and the Michelin-starred restaurant La Cuina de Can Simon. Not far from the center, you can admire the ruins of the ancient Roman settlement of Vila del Ametiers or visit the bay of Mar Menuda, popular with diving fans.

Girona

One of the oldest and richest cities in Catalonia, Girona is the center of the economic and cultural life of the province of the same name with its own airport. Strategically located on the Roman route of the Via Augusta, far from the sea, since its foundation in the 1st century, it has been subjected to raids by various peoples, gradually turning into a mosaic of traditions and cultures and acquiring a unique architectural appearance. Most of the monuments of the Arab, Jewish and Roman cultures are concentrated in the historical center, separated from the new areas by the picturesque Onyar River. Among the most famous monuments, it is worth mentioning the Cathedral of Santa Maria with the widest nave in the world and a unique collection of paintings from the Renaissance period, the monastery of San Domenic, one of the first Gothic buildings in Catalonia, and the Jewish Quarter, with a mysterious labyrinth of streets. There are two Michelin-starred restaurants in Girona: El Celler de Can Roca (three stars) and Can Massana (one star).

Pals

The tiny village 40 km from Girona has only 3,000 inhabitants and a record number of historical monuments in the region. With no beaches or fashionable boutiques, this cozy place on the hill attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. Wandering through its sleepy narrow streets, which, like a time capsule, keep the medieval atmosphere intact, you can find real gems of Gothic architecture. Particularly noteworthy is the Watchtower, built in the 12th century, an old Romanesque church and a lookout bridge offering stunning views of the green meadows of the Emporda.

Cadaqués

The white-washed fishing village has become famous as a favorite bohemian haunt, with an endless number of art galleries and photogenic corners. The beginning of the art pilgrimage was laid by Salvador Dali, who had a house here and arranged crazy parties. Steep streets full of flowers were inspired by Lorca and Paul Eluard, André Breton and Matisse, Marcel Duchamp and Picasso. .. The narrow pebbly beaches of Cadaqués are not very suitable for swimming, but are always crowded with tourists, so the locals prefer secluded bays in the vicinity.

Within 10 km is the gigantic nature reserve of Cap de Creus, with fabulous landscapes, lost trails that do not appear on any map, and a rich underwater world ideal for diving. The most popular point of the park is the Cap de Creus, where the events of the Hollywood film “The Lighthouse at the End of the World” with Kirk Douglas unfolded, and Luis Buñuel filmed the scenes of his “Golden Age”.

Pubol

Another place associated with the name of Salvador Dali. Right here at 19In 62, the genius of surrealism bought a castle for his “Russian muse” Gala, where he visited her with written permission. This is the place where the Costa Brava is the best place to relax for sophisticated natures. The building, dating back to the 10th century, has been restored and decorated according to the whimsical tastes of the artist. Extravagant installations, unusually shaped rooms and furniture, mysterious sculptures and stuffed animals – everything is dedicated to the cult of Galarina, invented by Dali. The tiny medieval village of Pubol itself, nestled among golden wheat fields 18 km from Girona, is a handful of rustic hotels and restaurants, and its entire population is engaged exclusively in the service sector.

Alt Emporda

Alt Emporda is an area in the north of the province of Girona, its most fertile garden, protected by a dense wall of mountains and having a unique microclimate. This is the birthplace of olives and vineyards, millet and hazelnuts, as well as the best restaurants in Spain: the world famous Can Roca, marked with three Michelin stars, is located here. Ancient monasteries and castles, ancient Roman ruins and secluded bays with crystal clear cool water, masterpieces of surrealism and exclusive wines – this welcoming region is chosen by those who are looking for peace and quiet between the mountains and the Costa Brava sea.

Blanes

The oldest city in Catalonia, already in Roman times, was considered an important commercial port with one of the leading shipyards. Today it is a large resort center, attracting with its originality, wide sandy beaches, a large number of decent hotels and excellent fish taverns. Rock Sa Palomera, rising from the coast directly from the sea, is considered a symbol of the Costa Brava, and divides the place into two parts: quiet residential and tourist. The old district impresses with the number of architectural monuments, it is especially recommended to visit the castle of Sant Joan, the famous Gothic well or the temple of the Virgin of Villar, which keeps gratitude from the sailors she saved. Blanes is famous for its international fireworks festival held in July.

Palamos

Palamos, founded by the Greeks in the 2nd century BC, is built around a harbor, a strategic point for fleets and trade. The port, which includes a yacht marina and a fishing pier, is today considered the second most important in the region. Fish auctions are held here every day, the “highlight” of which is traditionally giant palamos shrimps, the “star” dish of the best Catalan restaurants. Worth a visit is the Gothic church of St. Mary with an impressive altar, located in the Old Town, as well as the Cau Museum with a unique collection of starfish and ship chests. The beach strip has clean white sand and a gentle slope, but locals prefer to swim in the surroundings: on the beaches of Fosca or Castell, or in the bays of Salguer and Estretta.

Playa de Aro

One of the most glamorous resorts in Spain is located in the north of the Costa Brava, close to the French border. Built in the 60s. of the last century, it quickly attracted the attention of the European aristocracy and turned into a fashionable place for the summer residences of the elite. Today it is the main shopping center of the coast, with a string of boutiques of leading brands and prestigious restaurants and a never-ending nightlife. The place has a completely modern look: among the few architectural monuments, we can mention the Gothic temple of the Virgin Mary, the castle of Benidormines and the old villas of the Catalan nobility. A long stretch of sandy beaches and tiny bays with cool turquoise waters, as well as a yacht port, attract fans of water sports.

Roses

One of the oldest towns on the Costa Brava, founded by the ancient Greeks and transformed into the 20th century. to a large resort, where the most extensive beaches are located. The entrance to the sea is gentle here, and the sand is shallow and clean, so the place is popular among families with children. The old center beckons with a large number of branded boutiques, discos and restaurants, including Michelin-starred ones. In summer, the tourist bus will take you to the main sights and visit the early Christian necropolis, the Romanesque monastery, the prehistoric dolmens and the Suitadella fortress, where jazz festivals are held.

Empuriabrava

The world’s largest residential water area, romantically dubbed “Catalan Venice”, was built in the 60s of the last century on the banks of artificial canals. Today, its infrastructure includes a yacht port, ship equipment stores, service stations, and boat rentals. Elegant villas, luxury hotels, restaurants and discos are located right on the canals, and private boats are the main means of transportation. In the vicinity of the city there is a sports airfield with the largest parachuting center in Europe, as well as many shops selling boats of all calibers and sizes.

Palafrugell

A small, sleepy town 30 km from Girona has long been famous for its cork production, which is reminiscent of the old cork factory, now occupied by a museum. Today it is a popular place for summer residences of metropolitan residents and wealthy Europeans. Worth a visit are the Gothic church of San Marti and the colorful farmer’s market held on Sundays. The seaside area, Calella de Palafrugell, is very picturesque and is characterized by many cozy coves lost among pine forests. The high level of local gastronomy is recognized by international experts, an example of which is the Casamar hotel-restaurant with a Michelin star. In July, a gathering of habanera performers takes place on the beach with a tasting of a pirate “cremata” – rum with coffee and orange slices.

La Escala

Former fishing village and DO anchovy production capital. The tourist boom has turned it into a major resort, which, however, has not lost its sleepy provincial charm. In addition to the Museum of Anchovies and Salt, you can visit many interesting historical monuments, such as the medieval observation tower of Puig del Pedro, the Church of St. Peter or the Archaeological Museum with one of the largest collections of artifacts in Europe.

Just a kilometer from La Escala are the remains of the cradle of Catalan navigation, the unique ruins of the first ancient Greek colony of Emporion, dating back to V-II BC. In the “Greek” and “Roman” parts of the settlement, you can see temples dedicated to Zeus, Aesculapius, Jupiter and Juno, the Greek agora and the Roman forum, houses of the nobility with mosaics, ancient factories and hospitals built by the Romans.

Sant Feliu de Guixols

Thanks to the large-scale production of cork in the old days, the port of small Sant Feliu was a point of first importance for the region’s economy. Today it is a lively tourist center with a charming promenade, clean sandy beaches and a number of architectural monuments. Chief among them is a Benedictine monastery with pre-Romanesque and Romanesque elements and an original arched façade called the “Iron Door”, serving as a summer concert venue. Other highlights include the archaeological museum, which houses finds from the excavations of the Roman settlement of Tossa, the classical modernist casino building, and the chapel of San Elma on the hill where the poet Ferran Agullo coined the name Costa Brava.

Must see on the Costa Brava

Dalí House Museum

Figueres is world famous as the birthplace of the most extravagant Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. Here is his amazing Theatre-Museum, which contains more than a thousand original paintings, sculptures and three-dimensional installations. This is a cult place for all fans of the genius and because his embalmed body rests in a crypt under the dome of the museum. The dome itself, in the form of a retina, and the walls, decorated with Catalan rolls and giant eggs, have long turned into a real symbol of the region, looking from all postcards. The space is divided into five zones, immersing visitors in the fantasy world of the maestro of hoax, and in the basement you can admire the jewelry created according to his sketches.

Castle of Sant Joan

Lloret is worth a visit to the ruins of the medieval castle of Sant Juan, one of the oldest in the region and listed as cultural heritage. Built in the 11th century on a hill above the sea, it served as a defensive fortress, repelling the attacks of pirates and foreign invaders. After repeated destruction and rebuilding, a part of the wall, the foundation and the main watchtower, which offer stunning panoramic views of the surroundings, have survived to this day.

Castle town of Besalú

The place-fortress, which has preserved medieval beauty, is located 25 km from Girona. At the entrance you will be met by a stone bridge over the river Fluvia, then the church of Sant Pere will impress you with its austerity, and, finally, you will find yourself in the warm embraces of an old Catalan village smelling of fresh bread and almonds. Artifacts can be found at every turn, whether it is a hospital for pilgrims built by Benedictine monks, a Jewish mikvah for ritual ablutions, or a giant metal chair right on the street, left over from a modern art exhibition. Every year in September, the Medieval Festival is held, where jousting and delicacy tastings, craft fairs and troubadour performances are held.

Vila Velha Fortress

Description of the Costa Brava is impossible without mentioning the only medieval fortress located in Tossa de Mar, one of the most romantic cities in Spain. Villa Vella was built on Guardi Hill in the 12th-14th centuries. and performed defensive functions during the attacks of pirates, the eternal scourge of ancient Empurda. All houses were originally built strictly within its walls, and only in the 16th century did the inhabitants dare to develop the territory along the sea. Seven towers were left as a legacy to the descendants, among which stand out the sea “caretaker” Torre d’en Joanàs, the “keeper” of the only hours of Torre de las Horas and Torre de es Codolar. At the very top of the fortress, where the Castillo de Tossa castle, built in 1387, once stood, now stands a lighthouse with a breathtaking panorama.

Vila Velha is also the name of the entire Old Town, which grew up inside the walls. This is a unique space that retains the charm of a medieval place, a labyrinth of narrow stone streets, arches, squares, art galleries, atmospheric boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

Dona Marinera Sculpture

Dona Marinera (Fisherman’s Wife), a bronze figure by sculptor Ernest Maragall, was installed on the beach of Lloret de Mar in 1966. Strongly built “Sailor”, as the locals affectionately call her, is nothing more than a tribute to the memory of the female half of the population, faithfully waiting for their husbands from swimming. The monument, as if copied from samples of socialist realism, is located on a viewing platform in the rock, an ideal place for photography. The legend says that if you touch the foot of the statue and make a wish, it will surely come true.

Medes Islands

The Medes archipelago, consisting of seven rocky islets and reefs, is nothing more than an extension of the Montgrí mountain range. Located a mile from the coast, opposite the resort of L’Estartit, the islands served in ancient times as a hiding place for pirates, and in the 20th century they were proclaimed the first specially protected marine reserve in the country, where even fishing is prohibited. Today it is a paradise for divers, attracted by the unusual underwater terrain with many caves and underwater tunnels and an amazing variety of fish, algae and colorful corals. Excursions to the archipelago are also organized from L’Estartit – by kayak, yacht or pleasure boat with a transparent bottom.

Mar i Murtra and Piña Rosa Botanical Gardens

On the hillside between Lloret and Blanes is the famous Mar i Murtra Botanical Garden, created by the German philanthropist Karl Faust, with stunning sea views. On an area of 16 hectares, you can see more than 4,000 species of rare and exotic plants from all over the world, wander along the flowering alleys, and in the summer enjoy various concerts as part of the Les Nits de Marimurtra festival. Nearby is the Piña de Rosa park, the only one in Spain, which contains the rarest collection of succulents, including cacti, agaves and aloe – more than 7,000 copies in total.

Lloret de Mar Cemetery

Lloret Modernist Cemetery is called an open-air art exhibition and one of the best monuments of Catalan architecture of the 19th century. Designed by Joaquim Artau for the local bourgeoisie, it includes luxurious family crypts and mausoleums, created, among other things, by students of Antoni Gaudí. During the visit, you can visit the chapel of St. Cyric, where funerals are held, or take a walk along the quiet alleys between the pantheons, studying the inscriptions and the unique decor of the tombstones.

Santa Clotilde Gardens

The magnificent Jardíns de Santa Clotilde in Lloret de Mar is a brilliant example of Italian Renaissance landscape parks with sculptures, alleys and fountains. The creation of the architect Nicolau Rubier y Tuduri, they occupy an area of 15 hectares near the beach of Sa Boadella and are a kind of natural amphitheater descending to the sea. The ensemble has amazing views and is considered one of the best in Europe.

Church of San Roma

Built in 1522, the Sant Roma temple is considered the main attraction of Lloret de Mar. During the time of pirate attacks, the building performed defensive functions, which is noticeable by the massive doors and narrow loopholes. Over the centuries, the appearance of the church was subjected to multiple changes until it acquired its current form – ascetic gothic inside + intricate modernism outside. The domes of the Chapel of All Saints, decorated with mosaics in the traditional Arabic and Byzantine style, can be seen on all postcards as a symbol. San Roma is the heart of the city, where all the celebrations and concerts take place, and Sunday mass is served in several foreign languages.

Water parks

The water parks of the Costa Brava are the perfect way to spend hot days without the long queues that are so common on other coasts. The largest is Water World near Lloret de Mar, where on the territory of 140,000 m2 there are roller coasters of different levels of “extremeness”, pools with sea water, kamikazes and toboggans. Another water park “Marineland” is located near Palafolls and includes one of the best dolphinariums in Europe and exotic bird shows. In turn, in the vicinity of Playa de Aro, there is “Aquadiver”, a complex of more modest dimensions, nevertheless loved by both children and adults. There is no large influx of tourists here, and the most popular attractions are the vertical “Waterfall”, “Serpentine Hills” and “Fast River”.

How to get to Costa Brava

From the airport

There are two international airports on the coast – El Prat, 15 km from Barcelona and Girona-Costa Brava, 13 km from Girona, serving mainly low-cost flights. The resort towns are connected with them by regular bus routes operating all year round.

By train from Barcelona

Unlike the Costa Maresme, where all coastal settlements are connected by train, “Wild Coast”, due to the specifics of its relief, has a rather meager railway connection. From the capital of the region, you can get by train only to large centers – Girona, Blanes, Figueras, Sant Celoni and some others. In other cases, you will have to transfer to buses, for example, “train to Blanes + bus to Lloret”, “train to Figueres + bus to Empuriabrava”.

By bus

Looking at the map of the resorts and cities of the Costa Brava in Spain, you can see that the bus network is much better: many carrier companies offer routes along the entire beach. Ticket prices for all agencies are approximately the same, but the road from Girona, as the provincial capital, will be closer and more economical than from Barcelona. So, a trip to Palafrugell, Lloret or Playa de Aro will cost 6 euros, to Roses – 8 euros, to Cadaqués – 10 euros.

Our World: The Canary Islands – 3

Introduction

The Canary Islands, also known as the Canaries (Spanish: Canarias), are a Spanish archipelago located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of the southern border of Morocco. The Canaries are one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities and are among the outermost region of the European Union proper. The islands include (from largest to smallest): Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara and Roque del Oeste.

The archipelago is a major tourist destination with over 12 million visitors per year, especially Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. The islands have a subtropical climate, with long warm summers and moderately warm winters. Due to their location above the temperature inversion layer, the high mountains of these islands are ideal for astronomical observation. For this reason, two professional observatories, Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma, have been built on the islands.

The capital of the Autonomous Community is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Province of Las Palmas. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has been the largest city in the Canaries since 1768, except for a brief period in 1910. Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands. In 1927 a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains at present. The third largest city of the Canary Islands is La Laguna (a World Heritage Site) on Tenerife.

Geography

Tenerife is the most populous island, and also the largest island of the archipelago. Gran Canaria, with 865,070 inhabitants, is both the Canary Islands’ second most populous island, and the third most populous one in Spain after Majorca. The island of Fuerteventura is the second largest in the archipelago and located 100 km (62 mi) from the African coast.

The archipelago consists of seven large and several smaller islands, all of which are volcanic in origin. The islands are considered as a distinct physiographic section of the Atlas Mountains province, which in turn is part of the larger African Alpine System division.

Geology

The originally volcanic islands –seven major islands, one minor island, and several small islets– were formed by the Canary hotspot. The Canary Islands is the only place in Spain where volcanic eruptions have been recorded during the Modern Era, with some volcanoes still active (El Hierro, 2011).

Volcanic islands such as those in the Canary chain often have steep ocean cliffs caused by catastrophic debris avalanches and landslides.

Demographics

The Canary Islands have a population of 2,117,519 inhabitants (2011), making it the eighth most populous of Spain’s autonomous communities, with a density of 282.6 inhabitants per km². The total area of the archipelago is 7,493 km2 (2,893 sq mi). Items in red denote ethnicity; items in yellow denote citizenship/naturalization; items in blue denote place of birth.

San Cristóbal de La Laguna, the second city of the island is home to the oldest university in the Canary Islands, the University of La Laguna. The Teide, with its 3,718 metres (12,198 ft) is the highest peak of Spain and also a World Heritage Site.

Wildlife

Terrestrial wildlife

Terrestrial fauna includes geckos (such as the striped Canary Islands Gecko) and wall lizards, and three endemic species of recently rediscovered and critically endangered giant lizard: the El Hierro Giant Lizard (or Roque Chico de Salmor Giant Lizard), La Gomera Giant Lizard, and La Palma Giant Lizard. Mammals include the Canarian Shrew, Canary Big-Eared Bat, the Algerian Hedgehog (which may have been introduced) and the more recently introduced Mouflon. Some endemic mammals, the Lava Mouse, Tenerife Giant Rat and Gran Canaria Giant Rat, are extinct, as are the Canary Islands Quail, Long-legged Bunting, and the Eastern Canary Islands Chiffchaff.

With a range of habitats, the Canary Islands exhibit diverse plant species. The bird life includes European and African species, such as the Black-bellied Sandgrouse; and a rich variety of endemic (local) taxa including the:

Canary

Graja, a subspecies of Red-billed Chough endemic to La Palma

Blue Chaffinch (endemic to Tenerife and Gran Canaria)

Canary Islands Chiffchaff

Fuerteventura Chat

Tenerife Goldcrest

La Palma Chaffinch

Canarian Egyptian Vulture

Bolle’s Pigeon

Laurel Pigeon

Plain Swift

Houbara Bustard

†Canary Islands oystercatcher (extinct)

Marine life

The marine life found in the Canary Islands is also varied, being a combination of North Atlantic, Mediterranean and endemic species. In recent years, the increasing popularity of both scuba diving and underwater photography have provided biologists with much new information on the marine life of the islands.

Fish species found in the islands include many species of shark, ray, moray eel, bream, jack, grunt, scorpionfish, triggerfish, grouper, goby, and blenny. In addition, there are many invertebrate species, including sponge, jellyfish, anemone, crab, mollusc, sea urchin, starfish, sea cucumber and coral.

There are a total of 5 different species of marine turtle that are sighted periodically in the islands, the most common of these being the endangered loggerhead sea turtle. The other four are the green sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle and Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. Currently, there are no signs that any of these species breed in the islands, and so those seen in the water are usually migrating. However, it is believed that some of these species may have bred in the islands in the past, and there are records of several sightings of leatherback sea turtle on beaches in Fuerteventura, adding credibility to the theory.

Marine mammals include the Short-Finned Pilot Whale, Common and Bottlenose dolphins. Hooded Seals have also been known to be vagrant in the Canary Islands every now and then. The Canary Islands were also formerly home to a population of the rarest Pinniped in the world, the Mediterranean Monk Seal.

Travel information, videos and reviews on the beautiful Canary Islands

Canary Islands

The islands of the eternal spring, the archipelago Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean, form a part of Spain, although they are more closely situated to Africa.

The seven islands: La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and the two lesser unspoilt islands of Hierro and Gomera, form a part of a volcanic mountain range which
lies beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

The all year sub-tropical climate, which is regulated by the Gulf Stream and Trade Winds, attracts thousands of visitors every year to the islands who come to enjoy the sun, sea, nightlife and hospitality of the Canarian people.

However, it’s all too easy to arrive on your trip to the Canary Islands, plonk yourself on the beach and stay there without actually exploring all of the marvellous attractions that the islands have to offer.

History
The Canary Islands birth dates back to 8-12 million years ago, with the development of a volcanic mountain range underwater in the Atlantic, which at different intervals erupted
forming the archipelago.

It is understood that the first people were of aboriginal and of northwest African origin, they were named Guanches. They were conquered by the Spanish over 500 years ago, but not without putting up a great fight.

During the dark ages the islands were forgotten by Europe, and it wasn’t until the 13th century that they were once again rediscovered. In the 14th century they were conquered on behalf of the Spanish by the Norman captain, Jean de Bethencourt, who conquered Lanzarote.

When Christopher Columbus stopped on in the Canary Islands on his way to discover the Americas, it put the islands on the map as a
strategic stop-off point for many years to follow.

Tenerife
The island of Tenerife is the largest of the Canary archipelago and is known as the island of eternal spring because of its all year round excellent climate.

The island is full of stark contrasts and has a great variety of scenery which varies through the regions. A mountain chain runs through its centre fro Anaga to Teno and on both of its slopes there are large, exuberantly fertile valleys, among them especially La Orotava and Gumar.

In the heart of the chain there is a gigantic, natural crater, called Las Cañadas del Teide, which is
about 29 km across and has officially been declared a National Park. It lies over 2,000 m above sea level. North of the crater stands El Pico del Teide (Mount Teide), a 3,718 m high mountain, which is the highest point in Spain. It is
snow covered in the winter and marks the island with its unique silhouette.

The capital city is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the most popular holiday destinations include Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos,, Puerto de la Cruz and Adeje.

Gran Canaria
The island of Gran Canaria is situated in the centre of the Canary Island archipelago and is the third largest island after Tenerife and Fuerteventura. Its diversity of landscapes, magnificent beaches and friendly, laid-back atmosphere make Gran Canaria an ideal family holiday destination, anytime of the year.

Las Palmas is the capital of the island and its main destination resorts are Puerto Rico, Maspalomas, with its beautiful sand dune nature reserve, Puerto de Mogan and Playa del Ingles.

Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is the island closest to the coast of North Africa, being just 100 kilometres from Morocco. It’s the second largest island and is renowned for its long, golden sand beaches and sand dunes. The island is a paradise for sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts. It is also believed to be the oldest of all of the islands
in the Archipelago.

The capital of Fuerteventura is Puerto del Rosario, and its main destination resorts are Antigua, Caleta de Fuste, Corralejo and El Cotillo and Morro Jable.

Lanzarote
Lanzarote is situated just 70 miles off the coast of Africa, the most easterly of the Canary Islands and one of the smallest.

As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a volcanic landscape, which gives the impression that you are in a lunar environment; so much so that parts of the movie Planet of the Apes were shot here. The island has a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve protected status.

Arrecife is the capital of the island and the main destination resorts are Puerto del Carmen, Arrecife, Puerto Calero, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise.

La Palma
La Palma is recognised as one of the most naturally beautiful and unspoilt of all the seven Canary Islands. The development of tourism here has been strictly controlled and if you are after a typical package holiday scenario, with upbeat bars, McDonalds and English breakfast, then La Palma is not the destination for you.

The island is popular for those seeking a rural tourism option, walking holidays, eco tourists, or those who just want to chill out in stunning natural surroundings. Don’t expect 365 days of sunshine here either, as La Palma is much more lush, green and considerably wetter!

The island is made up three main touristic zones: Los Cancajos to the east, and Puerto Naos and Tazacorte to the west.

El Hierro
El Hierro is an eco tourist’s heaven and a paradise location for scuba divers. A biosphere reserve, the island hosts very little tourism, but if you want to escape from the humdrum of every day life and people, then El Hierro offers a wonderful option; a land of volcanoes, lava fields, lush valleys and dramatic cliffs which reach up to 1000m high.

La Gomera
Home to the National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site of La Garanjonay, La Gomera is a natural jewel in the archipelago. Where you find species that are otherwise extinct in most
destinations, dense forests, deep ravines and a landscape that has been sculpted over millions of years.

Cuisine
Much of the cuisine of the Canary Islands combines traditional Spanish fayre, with African and South American gastronomy. The volcanic roots of the island are also reflected in the dishes.

Fish obviously plays an important role in the gastronomy of Gran Canaria and especially popular are locally caught Langoustines, Mussels, Octopus, Atlantic Mackerel, and Sardines.

Meat dishes are popular, especially steaks and stews, but most meat tends to be imported in, as there is not much livestock on the island.

The Canary Islands grape growing culture dates back centuries and the unique flavour that comes from the volcanic terrains is very special. There are many wine routes that can be explored throughout the islands, where you can discover the different vineyards and their denominations.

Climate
The climate of the Canary Islands is mild, enjoying pleasant temperatures all year round. Average temperatures during the summer months average 26-28C; during the winter months the temperature rarely drops below 22 degrees, making it a perfect all year round destination.

Seven unmissable things to do in the Canary Islands on your holiday

Wondering whether holidays in the Canary Islands are the right choice for you? We’ve compiled a list of seven of the very best things to do, one for each of the seven Canary Islands

Whether you are drawn to the crystalline water of a white sand beach or the dramatic volcanic landscapes, the Canary Islands are always hiding something else up their sleeves that will amaze you. Thanks to their strategic location off the coast of Africa, this small group of islands enjoys all-year-round sunshine. This makes it an ideal destination 365 days a year. Forget about the 18-30s party reputation that the islands have earned themselves. That has long been left in the past. Nowadays tourism on the islands focuses on being sustainable and enjoying the natural beauty of the Canaries. There are so many things to do in the Canary Islands that will take you far away from the tourist hotspots. So, if you want a beach break or are on the hunt for the latest artisan finds, read on to discover our top 7 suggestions for an unmissable trip to this volcanic paradise.

Seven experiences for seven Canary Islands

Situated in the Atlantic Ocean, the Canary Islands have plenty to recommend to visitors. But perhaps the most outstanding feature of this cluster of islands, whose people have their own distinctive accent and vocabulary, is that the climate remains mild and warm throughout the year. However, Canary Islands’ weather can sometimes change without warning in certain areas and at certain altitudes. There are seven islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. They vary in size, and each has its own distinct character. This archipelago isn’t far from the coast of Africa. Still, it is so relatively close to mainland Spain that you could catch a last-minute flight and land on any of the islands within a couple of hours ready to enjoy Canary Islands sightseeing (four and a half hours from London, five from Berlin or six from Stockholm).

Did You Know? The Canary Islands were formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago? Tenerife is home to the volcano Mt. Teide, Spain’s highest mountain measuring 3718 meters in height

1. What to see in Canary Islands: Visit biosphere reserves and enjoy starry nights

Five of the islands have been declared Biosphere Reserves. They have more than 250 kilometres of beach, and light pollution is controlled. The sky is so clear and bright that it’s protected by the Sky Quality Law of the IAC (Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics).

The Canary Islands have three Starlight Reserves, areas in which the quality of the light at night (along with other cultural, scientific, natural or landscape features) is a top priority, and you’ll be blown away by the incredible stars. It is truly a Canary Islands must-see. Climb the highest point in Spain, Mt. Teide in Tenerife and view 83 of the 88 officially recognised constellations. Or, for the romantics out there, why not charter a yacht to gaze at the stars and enjoy a luxury dinner while you do so.

Holidays in the Canary Islands don’t just involve trips to the beach. Izaña Observatory, Tenerife.

2. Canary Islands points of interest: National Parks

The islands have no less than four National Parks, meaning there is no shortage of things to do in the Canary Islands for anyone who loves exploring the great outdoors.

La Palma has the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, Lanzarote has the Timanfaya and La Gomera has the Garajonay National Park. Last but not least, Tenerife has the Teide National Park which, apart from being the most famous, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the centre of the island, 15 kilometres in diameter and rising to a height of 3,718 metres, Teide is the highest mountain in Spain. Roam Teide like a true explorer, and the reward, apart from a feast of Canarian cuisine of papas con mojo, (Canarian wrinkly potatoes with a delicious sauce) on your return, will be the views of the Las Cañadas ridge and the Pico Viejo volcano. If you’re lucky and the sky is clear, you can even see the other islands.

Did You Know? On the island of La Gomera, the local people have their own dialect which they use to communicate with each other by whistling. This is called ‘El Silbo Gomero’

3. The best beaches in the Canary Islands

You could choose your Canary Islands beach on the basis of its location or its surroundings… or based on the colour of its sand: golden, red, or even black.

Benijo beach, in Tenerife, is of volcanic origin and is truly spectacular, not only because of its dark-coloured sand but also because of the unique landscape in which it’s set.

The same may be said of Charco Verde on La Palma. Small, with sand as black as coal, it’s family-friendly and attractive in every sense of the word.

And if you’re on Lanzarote, do not miss Papagayo beach, with its fine golden sand, tempting turquoise waters and views of Fuerteventura. Going to the beach is one of the top Canary Island activities and you will not be short of choices.

Uncover the must-see things to do in the Canary Islands and enjoy fun in the sun all year round.

4. Exciting things to do in the Canary Islands: water sports

There are more things to do on the Canary Islands beaches than just sunbathe, read or enjoy a picnic under your umbrella. You can also go walking, swimming, diving or surfing in the Canary Islands. If you’ve been surfing for a while, in the northwest of Lanzarote you’ll find El Quemao, where the wave is a succession of deep, fast tubes.

If the perfect long wave is what you’re looking for, you will find it at Derecha de Lobos, to the north of Fuerteventura. In Tenerife, practice windsurfing at El Medano, one of the Canary Islands’ top things to do or surfing at Taganana. If you really want to discover the underwater world, the Museo Atlántico in Lanzarote is Europe’s first underwater art museum, made up of pH-neutral concrete sculptures created by the artist Jason de Caires Taylor.

5. Canary Islands cuisine

If you’re a food lover, you might find it difficult to decide what to do in the Canary Islands every time a meal rolls around, as there’s so much choice. You will find the best Canarian cheese, made of goats’ milk, in Fuerteventura, La Palma, Gran Canaria and El Hierro. They all have dairies which are well worth a cheese-tasting visit. A visit to Lanzarote’s wineries is another of the best things to do in the Canary Islands. They have their own appellation of origin and some exceptionally good bodegas to delight visitors’ taste buds.

Surprisingly, Palma honey comes from La Gomera, and Fleur de Sel from La Palma.

And if you’re looking for the famous papas arrugás (‘Canarian wrinkly potatoes’, a traditional Canarian dish), order them in Tenerife.

Finish your culinary odyssey by sampling some of El Hierro’s quesadillas and raising a glass of Gran Canaria rum.

Be sure to try the typical dishes that make up the Canary Island cuisine. Papas con mojo

6. Canary Islands’ best places to visit: discover other-worldly landscapes

Unless you have plans to visit the moon, the closest thing to a lunar landscape you’ll ever see is at Vilaflor, Tenerife. A thirteen-kilometre trek, with a difficulty rating of medium-high, will make you feel like Neil Armstrong. Wear comfortable footwear and suitable clothing, as the hike takes five hours. The appeal of this landscape is in its culture as well as its geography, as it was envisaged by the multidisciplinary artist César Manrique, a native of Lanzarote. Manrique left his mark with miradores (viewing points), gardens, cultural centres…The Canary Islands culture is thriving, and you can also see his work during your holidays in the Canary Islands on the island of his birth (such as at the Cactus Garden), on Fuerteventura (the Mirador de Morro Velosa), on Tenerife (the Parque Marítimo), on La Gomera (the Mirador del Palmarejo) and on El Hierro (the Mirador de la Peña).

7. The best places to visit Canary Island: Hotels in the Canaries

Last but very much not least, you need to prioritise relaxation when you’re on your holiday. The hotel you choose plays an important role in determining whether you have a wonderful time or whether your whole holiday is a disaster.

To leave you with a good impression and eager to return as soon as you have a few consecutive days of holiday leave, we have three suggestions, all close to the Canary Island tourist attractions, of course.

The first is the Occidental Margaritas hotel on Gran Canaria, at the Playa del Inglés, one of the most popular beaches on the island. The second is the Fuerteventura Beach Resort on Fuerteventura, with the biggest spa on the island. Next, you have Barceló Tenerife, a beachfront hotel with 8 outside pools and an artificial lake for kayaking. The last is for those holidaying without children, the Barceló Teguise Beach – Adults Only on Lanzarote, a totally refurbished hotel with a relaxing U-Spa on the beachfront at Las Cucharas.

Living In The Canary Islands: The Pros & Cons For Expats

The Canary Islands are a popular holiday destination thanks to their great weather and constant proximity to the sea. But what’s living in the Canary Islands like for expats?

In this guide, we’ll cover all the important topics you need to know if you’re considering a life in the Canaries. This includes the cost of living, the best places to settle down, and some tips about buying property.

Are the Canary Islands a good place to live?

The Canary Islands are certainly a good place to live if you want all the benefits of living in Europe but with some isolation from the mainland. The islands have long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Also, there are eight main islands to choose from, giving you plenty of variety.

The Canary islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa.

If you’ve ever been on holiday to the Canaries, you’ll be familiar with names like Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote. These are the most popular with tourists, but you also have the likes of La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa to choose from.

Whichever island you pick, you can be sure the weather will be great. At roughly 100km from the African coast, the Canaries boast better weather than southern Europe.

Summer temperatures won’t get much higher than 25 degrees C and the winter drops to around 16. While you won’t find the scorching highs you’d get in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands benefit from temperatures staying in the 20s well into October.

In short, the islands are one of the few European destinations with mild weather all year round. Such a mild climate without hush extremes is considered one of the healthiest climates for us, humans to be in.

The Canary Islands are perfect for anyone wanting an outdoor lifestyle. They’re home to four national parks, two of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The others are Biosphere Reserves, which should give you some idea of the quality and beauty of the local scenery.

Travelling between the islands is easy too. The Canary Islands tourism board has a website specifically for planning travelling, and it states you can get a flight from Lanzarote to La Palma (the two farthest islands) in only 80 minutes. In short, day trips between islands are never out of the question.

The Canaries aren’t really known for their cultural heritage in the same way as somewhere like mainland Spain, but this doesn’t mean they’re not without their sights. There are some lovely churches and other architectural pieces. But if that’s not your thing, the islands are of course home to hundreds of stunning beaches.

Finally, the Canary Islands are home to some great food. The Spanish influence is obvious, and seafood is a big thing here. Expect lots of fresh meat, fruit and veg at the local markets along with a range of interesting regional wines to wash it all down.

In short, living on the Canary Islands offers everything you might have experienced while on holiday there. The weather is pretty much always amazing, the food is great, and you’ll never run out of things to do, even if it’s just spending the day on the beach relaxing!

Is it expensive to live in the Canary Islands?

It isn’t expensive to live in the Canary Islands. While you might find more tourist-centred areas to be a bit pricier, the overall cost of living is considerably lower than in the UK.

Canyon Masca in Tenerife: plenty of hiking trails of different levels take you to and around Masca to enjoy the views.

The cost of living is cheaper in the Canary Islands than in the UK, USA or Northern Europe. As you’d expect, rent is considerably cheaper; you can find a good apartment in a city centre for around £500 a month.

The same goes for buying property. The average price per square metre across the main eight islands ranges from £900 (€1,050) to £1,900 (€2,200). You’ll find renovation properties for much less than this, and more rural properties will be much cheaper too.

Importantly, food is much cheaper and is pretty much always good quality. While you can do your food shopping in the supermarket, there’s no shortage of weekly food markets for things like meat, fruit and vegetables.

The price of utilities isn’t as low as you’d expect. You could expect to pay around £100 (€107) a month for all your basic utilities. However, the fact that you won’t have a big heating bill will definitely make up for this.

One thing that is considerably more expensive in the Canary Islands is internet. You could expect to pay £52 (€60) a month for internet, which will obviously be important for staying in contact with friends and family back home.

It’s also worth considering internet speeds in your chosen destination; more populated islands will have better internet connections than smaller, quieter ones.

Of course, there will be plenty of variation in prices across the Canary Islands. Resort islands will usually be more expensive for everything from property to food prices. Consider looking up house prices on several islands if you’re not set on a single destination, as the range might surprise you.

Spanish residency requirements state you need €25,560 a year (€2,130 a month) for a residency visa. This will be more than enough for a comfortable life on whichever Canary Island you choose.

Are the Canary Islands dangerous?

The Canary Islands aren’t considered a dangerous destination. Due to the high number of tourists, busier areas have very robust police forces, which helps to keep crime rates low. More rural areas are very safe too, mainly because there are so few people living in them.

Teror town in Gran Canaria. A Sunday visit to this beautiful town is worth an effort as you find the Canary Islands’ oldest market in full swing.

As with most tourist destinations, it’s fair to assume that most of the crime occurs during the busy season. If you’re concerned about the crime rate, living in a rural area will be better. However, if you’re happy to live in pretty much any British city, the Canary Islands shouldn’t be a big concern.

Living in the Canary Islands: the pros and cons

If you’ve ever been to the Canaries then you’ll already have a good idea of everything they have to offer. However, moving there permanently means weighing up both the pros and cons before making a decision.

While none of the drawbacks is major, they’re definitely worth considering before making the jump to island life. Here are the pros and cons of living in the Canary Islands.

The pros of living in the Canary Islands:

1. Plenty of beaches

Perhaps the most obvious advantage of living on an island is the sheer number of beaches. You’re never too far from one, meaning it’s super easy to arrange an impromptu trip whenever you feel like it. Once you move there, you’ll be able to spend some time finding the lesser-known gems.

2. Amazing climate

As mentioned, the Canaries rarely have what many would consider cold weather. They benefit from their proximity to Africa and the sea, which results in warm, consistent weather. You will find microclimates at higher altitudes, so make sure you own at least one sweater!

3. Eating out is inexpensive

If you’ve got consistently great weather to enjoy then you’ll probably want loads of great restaurants to visit. Well, you’re in luck, as the Canaries have plenty of great (and inexpensive) restaurants. Obviously, seafood is big here but there’s no shortage of meat and veggie options too.

4. Travelling is easy

Public transport isn’t expensive, and travelling between islands is super easy. There are plenty of planes and ferries, making day trips a breeze.

Second-hand cars are more expensive than on the mainland, however many expats still opt to buy one. Find more information on Spanish driving regulations and a car registration process in our guide Sorting Out A Car And Driving In Spain.

5. High-class healthcare

The Canary Islands are an autonomous region under Spanish rule, and Spain is known to have high-quality healthcare. This extends to the Canaries too, particularly places like Tenerife. If you want access to public healthcare, you’ll need to be a Spanish resident, but the private facilities are also very high quality.

Many expats opt for international health insurance. To make sure you get the best value for money, compare international health insurance options from various providers to find the best deal.

Our guide to Health Insurance In Spain will help you understand how to access the Spanish Public Healthcare system, private health insurance options and the costs.

Las Teresitas is the most famous beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Located in the town of San Andrés, this golden sandy beach is adorned with palm trees and is a very popular spot among residents of Santa Cruz.

The cons of living in the Canary Islands:

1. Very tourist-heavy

It’s no secret that the Canary Islands are heavy on tourism. While this isn’t the worst thing ever, it does mean everywhere is very busy in the summer, and that many businesses operate on seasonal schedules. If you’re considering living in the Canary Islands, you’ll have to make your peace with the tourism boom.

2. Island life takes adjustment

It might seem obvious, but living on an island does take some adjustment. It’s not possible to just jump in your car and get away for a weekend like you can while living on the mainland. After a while, some people might find island life a bit claustrophobic.

3. Slow pace of life

This isn’t necessarily a con but can take some adjustment if you’re coming from a fast-paced country. There isn’t a concept of “now”; the earliest you’ll probably get something is within a day or so. After a few months, you won’t even notice this as a problem anyway.

4. Not much high culture

Again, this isn’t really a downside, but if you want nightly operas and ballets, the Canary Islands just aren’t for you. Much of their economy is geared towards tourism, so think bars, restaurants, and the odd nightclub. Concerts do happen, but usually in the summer season, and usually only on the main islands.

Expats living in the Canary Islands

As you’d expect, the Canary Islands have quite a large expat community. Many move there either in retirement or to set up a business focused on tourism. If you’re considering moving to the Canary Islands, it’s likely you won’t mind being around plenty of expats.

San Sebastian, la Gomera,

Of course, the major islands like Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, and Fuerteventura are heavier on expat communities. Smaller islands like El Hierro and La Gomera have smaller expat communities, but you’ll still be able to find people to befriend.

If you want to find out more about expat communities in the Canary Islands before moving, your best bet would be somewhere like Facebook. There are plenty of expat groups that you can join, and people are usually more than happy to share their stories and tips about making the move.

To get the most authentic Canary Island experience, you’ll want to settle down away from the resort areas. However, tourism is such a big industry that it permeates even into rural towns. Even if you don’t find a bustling expat community in your chosen area, you shouldn’t have much of a problem making friends with locals, who are usually very welcoming.

Which is the best Canary Island to live on?

Depending on what you actually want from your new life in the Canary Islands, some will be better than others. The suggestions below are based on the idea that you won’t mind either tourism or large expat populations. After all, if you did, there would be far better places to choose than the Canaries.

The main difference between the bigger islands is how developed and populated they are. If you like the idea of the Canaries but want a quieter life, one of the smaller islands would be a better option.

But here’s a roundup of the best Canary Islands to live on:

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest and most populous island in the Canaries. It’s also the most highly favoured by Brits, among other tourists. As a result, it has the best connections to the UK and other mainland destinations, making it a good choice if you plan on taking frequent holidays.

Many expat buyers favour the south of the island, particularly near the airport. Tenerife is also a good choice if you’re planning to set up your own business, such as a hotel or restaurant because it easily sees the most tourism trade.

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is the third-largest island but easily has the most varied terrain. The resort towns are in the south, but farther north you’ll find almost tropical forests and lush rolling hills. Its capital, Las Palmas, has a lively food and shopping scene too. Depending on where you plan to settle down on the island, you can find an apartment for as little as €90,000. But if you’re willing to spend more, you can find some amazing villas for around €500,000.

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is still popular with tourists, but it was “discovered” much later than the larger islands. The biggest difference is that properties are notably cheaper; for example, you could find a central apartment for €65,000 or so. It doesn’t get as busy as Gran Canaria or Tenerife, but you can still expect a tourism boom in the summer months.

Morro Jable, a pretty town on the island of Fuerteventura, is known for its beaches. The residents enjoy white sands, natural beauty, and all the essential amenities one needs for a comfortable life.

El Hierro

El Hierro is one of the smallest main islands and has a population of around 11,000. It’s the farthest west but still benefits from the same climate as the other islands. You won’t have any problems with connections because it has an airport, and ferries to the other islands are frequent. El Hierro is a good choice if you want a quieter life in the Canary Islands and don’t mind travelling for larger shopping trips and days out.

La Gomera

La Gomera is another lesser-known island. It lies just to the east of Tenerife and has a population of roughly 21,000. It’s famous for its location wine, and also has some amazing wildlife and geography. It would be a good choice for those who want an outdoor lifestyle that isn’t too influenced by tourism.

Is it better to rent or buy in the Canary Islands?

One of the biggest advantages of looking to relocate to a tourist-centred area is that renting property is usually quite easy. Holiday lets are big business, and this means you can often find a good deal during the winter months. You could easily rent a property on one of the larger islands for a few months and use this as your base to explore the other islands.

Our guide on Renting A Property In Spain will help you to understand the process and avoid possible pitfalls.

In the long term, however, it would make more sense to buy a property in the Canary Islands if you plan on staying there permanently. The island you choose does matter, but it’s also really easy to hop between islands for day trips. So be sure to settle down on one that has everything you need, but don’t overthink it too much.

To avoid mistakes, read our Complete Guide To Buying A Property In Spain before purchasing your home in the sun.

As the Canary Islands are autonomous but under Spanish law, Spanish residency and property rules apply. Be wary when viewing cheap properties because estate agents often have a habit of skirting over any issues. It’s also worth paying for independent surveys before agreeing to a sale.

A major bonus of buying property in the Canaries is that most estate agents will speak English. While learning Spanish will help in the long term, it won’t matter as much during the buying process as it might in mainland Spain. However, if you’re concerned, take a translator with you.

In short, there are very few reasons why you would choose renting over buying. Renting can be helpful when searching for properties, but owning your own home makes much more sense and will obviously offer more security during your residency application process.

Living in the Canary Islands – summary

Living in the Canary Islands offers everything you might be familiar with from past holidays. One of the biggest draws is the great year-round weather, which is complemented by the great scenery and amazing food.

Of course, one of the possible trade-offs is the large tourism industry, but you can use this to your advantage. Setting up a business can be an easy way to generate income. Either way, it’s likely you don’t mind tourism much if you’re considering the Canary Islands.

Regardless of which island you choose as your new home, the Canaries can be a very relaxing place to set up your new life. The dream is that it’ll simply feel like one big holiday.

Canary Islands | – VISIT-PLUS

The Canary Islands are known throughout the world as one of the best holiday destinations. The special climate of the Canary Islands attracts tourists all year round. It’s summer here all year round. It’s never cold here. During the winter, temperatures in the Canary Islands rarely drop below 15 degrees (°C). It rarely gets too hot here in the summer. The water temperature is constant throughout the year and does not fall below 20°C. This is especially popular with tourists from the Nordic countries. To come here in winter, when it is snowing and frosty outside, and to see summer here, seems like a real miracle.

The distance from the Canary Islands to Moscow is about 5200 kilometers, to St. Petersburg 4950 kilometers.

Temperature and climate

According to meteorological observations, the air temperature in the Canary Islands differs very little throughout the year. The average daily temperature in winter is only 8 degrees lower than the temperature in summer. There is quite a bit of rainfall here. This makes the climate of the Canary Islands one of the most favorable in the world (especially for people with health problems). The Canary Islands are often referred to as the “Islands of Eternal Spring”. Note, spring, not summer. Many tourists believe that it is cool here in winter. The table below shows the average temperature in the Canary Islands by month.

Canary Islands – winner of the “Star of Travel.ru” award in the nomination “Best resort on the Atlantic coast of Europe” for 2007-2009.

The Canary Islands (Islas Canarias, an area of 7,500 sq. km) is an autonomous region of Spain, located in the Atlantic Ocean, 1,500 km from the Iberian Peninsula and 100 km from the coast of Africa. Geologically, the islands are of volcanic origin and belong to relatively young formations of the oceanic platform, as well as the nearby Azores, the Cape Verde Islands and Madeira (this scattering of islands in the eastern Atlantic is often identified as a special natural zone, conditionally called Macronesia). The archipelago consists of seven large inhabited islands and several small ones, administratively divided into two provinces – Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the islands of Tenerife, Gomera, La Palma and Hierro) and Las Palmas (the islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote) .

The climate of the Canary Islands is tropical trade wind, moderately hot and dry. Its characteristic feature is a small temperature difference during the year – in summer it is about + 21 ° С, in winter – not lower than + 17 ° С, and the water temperature almost never drops below + 20 ° С. The reason for such an even climate is the unique location of the islands – lying in the hot tropical zone off the very coast of desert Africa, they experience the beneficial effect of the western ocean trade winds all year round, and the water off the coast is cooled (and saturated with oxygen!) by the cold Canary Current. As a result, all local differences are determined only by the relief of an island. Warm and mild climate, fertile volcanic soils and long-term isolation from the mainland have formed here an amazing natural complex with unique flora and fauna (almost a quarter of the species living here are found nowhere else on Earth), diverse landscapes and the richest marine life.

The islands were inhabited by humans around the 3rd millennium BC. Greek and Roman sources associated this land with the mythical Atlantis, but they themselves knew about them only by hearsay, since the entire territory beyond the Pillars of Hercules, as the Strait of Gibraltar was then called, was controlled by the peoples of the sea, primarily the ubiquitous Phoenicians. The indigenous tribes of the Guanches who inhabited the islands, almost exterminated immediately after the conquest of the islands by the Spaniards (1402-1496), have been and remain one of the biggest historical mysteries. These fair-haired (often red-haired!) and blue-eyed people, who had a complex system of mythology and their own cosmogony, a whistling language and a completely unique system of hieroglyphic writing (at least this is how the numerous petroglyphs of the Canary Islands are interpreted, which have not yet been solved, by the way), original art stoneworking and architecture, mastered the art of mummification of the dead and domestication of animals (huge bardino shepherd dogs, brought to Europe from the Canary Islands by the Moors, gave rise to many modern breeds). But at the same time they lived at the level of the primitive communal system, used stone tools and, by all indications, could not get to the islands themselves – they had no idea about the possibility of building watercraft the size of a fishing boat! But after the assimilation of the Guanches (most of them were exterminated or taken into slavery), the mystery of their origin and the mystery of strange skills remained unsolved, only the whistling language “silbo” is still used to transmit information over long distances (up to 15 km!), yes Bardino dogs are still thriving.

The largest (2034 sq. km) and the most popular tourist island, Tenerife lies in the center of the archipelago. Like all the Canary Islands, Tenerife is of volcanic origin, which is clearly visible even on the approach to the island – its highest point, the Teide volcano (Teide, 3718 m), is a clearly visible landmark for all ships passing by.

Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the archipelago. It is a rounded island approximately 50 km in diameter, topped by the volcanic cone Pico de las Nieves (1949 m).

Lanzarote is the fourth largest island in the archipelago and one of the most volcanically active places in the Canary Islands. Almost the entire center of the island is occupied by lifeless tuff fields, volcanic cones and caves (in the 18th-19th centuries, local volcanoes flooded the entire island with lava, almost completely “rewriting” its landscapes).

Fuerteventura is the least known island in the Canary archipelago. However, more than half of its shores are bordered by magnificent beaches of white or golden sand.

On the small island Palma (La Palma, 728 sq. km), the huge crater of La Caldera de Taburiente, the entire territory of which is covered by the national park of the same name, numerous craters of ancient volcanoes, the grotto of Cueva Bonita, as well as the picturesque capital Santa Cruz de la Palma and the excellent beaches of Cancajos, Puerto de Naos.

A small mountainous island Gomera (Gomera) is considered the greenest place in the archipelago – more than 70% of its territory is covered with dense evergreen forests. It is this piece of land that is considered the birthplace of canaries (which is not surprising – more than 40 species of these birds live in local forests), the silbo whistle language, and its Alto de Garahonari mountain range (1487 m) is a huge nature reserve.

The westernmost and smallest island of the Canary archipelago – Hierro (Hierro, 278 sq. km) differs from the rest of the islands in the group by its rocky and steep coastline, due to which it has almost no beaches. But there are thermal springs of Sabinos, the Tignor plateau with its amazing landscape, the large lake of El Tamadouste, the vineyards of Frontera, the picturesque El Golfo Bay and a real Mecca for fishermen – the village of La Restinga.

Tourism

Photos from the Canary Islands invite the whole world to enjoy the magnificent beaches and sun, so many travelers associate this corner of Spain only with a beach holiday. There is no doubt that the beaches on the islands are beautiful, however, it’s time to discover the incredible natural beauty of the Canary Islands, where rich forests, energetic volcanoes, calm mountains and green valleys await us. Let’s hit the road!

With the development of digital technologies, the capital of Gran Canaria, the city of Las Palmas, has become a large “office” for the so-called “digital nomads” – professionals who have the opportunity to work without being tied to one workplace. In recent years, more and more teleworkers have settled in this beautiful city, choosing their own territory and time to complete their tasks.

Fuerteventura is one of the small representatives of the islands of the Canary archipelago, located just 100 kilometers from the coast of Africa and recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve of world importance. It is amazing how this island, which from the window of an airplane seems to be made only of sand and waves, can be fraught with many wonderful phenomena, which it begins to reveal with joy as soon as guests take the first step on its land.

Ocean fishing in the Canary Islands is quite a popular pastime. It is here that this is a real adventure, a meeting face to face with the restless ocean, the opportunity to measure strength with a big fish, in a word, what most real fishermen aspire to. Large and rare fish are found here in sufficient quantities – as many as 550 species! Fishing is possible all year round.

Imagine for a moment the amazing landscape of volcanic islands with subtropical forest, unique animal and plant species, one of the largest craters in the world and warm weather all year round… four national parks of Spain in the Canary Islands. Real wonders of nature within reach!

travelers, the audience empathizes with the hosts as if they were family. In the Canary Islands, the producers have chosen the most interesting island – Tenerife. In our opinion, the route chosen is far from the most interesting. Let’s go through it again and try to improve it!

Sea water is good for everyone, young and old – that’s a fact. As we know, Tenerife has many good beaches, from idyllic and gentle to absolutely wild. However, the waves in the Atlantic Ocean are always strong, so it will be scary for an inexperienced swimmer to swim far even in bays. For those who want to swim in a relaxed way, as well as for children, the elderly or just looking for a variety of guests of the island, there are several pools with sea water. We will talk about the best of them.

Due to its isolation, soil and climate, Tenerife today is a unique nature reserve full of beautiful endemic plants. Some decorate the resorts, others hide in the forests, others survive on the bare slope of the volcano in any frost.

In this article, we have collected the best hiking trails in Tenerife that all trekking enthusiasts should follow. The first to master this sport in the Canary Islands were the Germans. They quickly realized that the entire island is a hiker’s paradise. Now more and more Europeans are joining them on the paths of the Teide National Park and other spaces, and there is enough space for everyone. Nearly a thousand kilometers of trails weave through rich woodlands, cross deep ravines and wind around volcanic peaks.

The colonial atmosphere of the old town attracts tourists from all over the island of Tenerife, not to mention picturesque beaches and colorful national holidays. La Orotava is a place for quality rest in a chamber setting.

History of the Canary Islands — detailed information

The Canary Islands are covered with myths and legends. Many writers associate them with the disappeared continent of Atlantis. Plato believed that this rich, fertile land was once located west of Gibraltar in the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantis was destroyed by earthquakes and tsunamis about 12 thousand years ago. After the cataclysm, only the mountain peaks of Atlantis remained above the surface of the sea, which formed seven islands. Why not the Canaries? The ancient Greeks called the Canary Islands the Gardens of the Hesperides, and the Romans called the Happy Isles.

Plutarch wrote about fertile lands near the coast of Africa, where the spring winds always blow. It was based on the words of the Roman general Sertorius, who heard about the islands from a traveler. In the 1st century n. e. Pliny noted that the Moorish king Yuba II organized an expedition to the islands. Travelers saw many dogs on the banks. Canis means “dog” in Latin, hence the name Canary Islands.

The islands have inspired people’s imaginations for centuries, from Plato to Jules Verne. Both academic studies and fantasy novels have been written about them. The truth is lost in the mists of time, but the seven volcanic islands have always been shrouded in a magical, magical veil. As soon as you see the outlines of Mount Teide on the horizon, you will immediately understand where these fairy tales and legends come from.

First inhabitants

Long before the arrival of the first Europeans, all seven main Canary Islands were already inhabited. The Guanche tribe lived here. Translated from the local language, “guanche” means “man.” Strictly speaking, this name refers only to the inhabitants of Tenerife, but it began to be used for the inhabitants of the entire archipelago.

The Guanches appeared on the islands in the 1st or 2nd century. BC e. They came from North Africa. Ethnographers believe that they were Cro-Magnons, who belonged to the proto-Mediterranean race. The Guanches were tall, fair-skinned people, often with blue eyes and blond hair. You can get to know these people in the wonderful Canarian Museum in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. The exposition introduces the special prejudices of the Guanche associated with death. Like the ancient Egyptians, they meticulously embalmed their dead in preparation for their ritual passage to the other world. Scientists have discovered mysterious rock inscriptions that explain these rituals, but so far no one has found the Canarian Rosetta Stone to decipher them.

The Guanche lived in caves, although many of the caves that have survived to this day were used exclusively for storing supplies. For example, Cenobio de Valeron near Galdara in Gran Canaria, although it is called a monastery, most likely was just a grain warehouse. Living in caves in such a climate is a logical idea, as they are cool in summer and warmer in winter than any hut. Even today, there are many inhabited caves on the island.

The Guanches left us a wonderful legacy that can still be seen today in markets and local eateries. This gofio is a finely ground and roasted flour that is widely used in Canarian cuisine. The Guanche language lives on in names such as Tafira or Tamadaba in Gran Canaria, Timanfaya in Lanzarote, Teide in Tenerife and in the name Tenerife itself.

Conquistadors

The first aliens in the Canaries were Arab sailors who landed on Gran Canaria about 2000 years ago. The Guanches greeted them very warmly. And in subsequent centuries, the islanders were very hospitable. Unfortunately, their hospitality came at a cost.

Europeans landed on the islands in the 14th century. The Genoese sailor Lanzarotto Marcello colonized the island, which at that time was called Titeroigatra, and later received the name of Lanzarote. In the footsteps of Lanzarotto came slave traders, treasure seekers and missionaries. But the European conquest of the Canary Islands really began only in 1402. That year, the army of the Norman baron Jean de Betancourt, who was in the service of the Castilian king Henry III, landed on the island. The baron captured Lanzarote and Fuerteventura fairly easily, but his ships were scattered off Gran Canaria by a storm. Betancourt turned towards El Hierro, where the astonished islanders greeted the Europeans, who arrived in huge sailing ships, like gods. Betancourt “repaid” them for their hospitality: by inviting local residents to one of his ships, he captured them and sold them into slavery.

At about the same time, the Portuguese, who also colonized the Atlantic, turned their attention to the Canary Islands. The two powers fought fierce naval battles. At the end of the war, a treaty was concluded between Portugal and Castile that ended Lisbon’s attempts to capture the Happy Isles. By order of the Castilian rulers Ferdinand and Isabella, the second stage of the colonization of the islands began. By 1483, Gran Canaria was conquered, in 1488 – La Gomera. La Palma held out until 1493. After two years of fierce fighting, Tenerife fell, and the entire archipelago fell into the hands of the Spaniards. The process of appeasement and conversion to Christianity continued for almost a hundred years. All these years, a real guerrilla war was blazing on the islands. The Guanches were brave warriors, but could not resist the well-armed Spaniards.

Travels of Columbus

When the conquest of the Canary Islands was in full swing, Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colón in Spanish) began planning his voyage. He was going to open a sea route to India. Each of the islands of the archipelago considers itself associated with Columbus. The great traveler’s caravels stopped in the Canary Islands, since these islands were considered the westernmost point of the modern world and were the last stop on the way into the unknown.

The great navigator stopped at La Gomera. His ships were being repaired in Las Palmas in 1492 AD He described a volcanic eruption in Tenerife. Its sailors considered the eruption a bad omen, but, as history has shown, having passed El Hierro, the caravels did not fall off the earth’s disk at all. You can get acquainted with the history of Columbus’ travels and the traveler’s connections with the Canary Islands in the wonderful House of Columbus in Las Palmas.

Wine and war

Sugar was the first export of the Canary Islands. It was easy to produce sugar on the islands. In the first half of the XVI century. a rapidly growing industry. But soon Canarian sugar forced out cheaper sugar from Brazil and the Antilles. Sugar production in the Canary Islands has simply died.

But trade links between the Old and New Worlds had already been established, and wine became a new trade product.

The grapes have grown very well on the volcanic soil. Tenerife began to produce a rich, full-bodied wine – malvasia. This drink quickly became fashionable among European aristocrats. Canarian wines Shakespeare and Voltaire were highly valued. Today, tourists arriving on the islands flock to bodegas, restaurants and even supermarkets for excellent wines. Traveling around the islands, on the slopes of the hills you will often see abandoned old wine presses (lagares).

By the end of the 18th century. The Canary Islands turned into a major trading center that everyone wanted to own. In 1797, Admiral Horace Nelson attacked Santa Cruz de Tenerife in an attempt to capture a Spanish treasure ship. The defenders of the city resisted with all their might. The attack cost the lives of 226 British sailors and the admiral himself lost an arm. However, the inhabitants of Santa Cruz do not have negative feelings towards Admiral Nelson. When it became known that the English ships were retreating, they sent him wine as a gift. Nelson returned courtesy for courtesy and sent the governor cheese and a barrel of beer. Captured British flags are stored in a glass case in the church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.

Free trade

By the beginning of the 19th century. the inhabitants of the Canary Islands turned into real Spaniards – both in appearance and in nationality. Many volunteers from the islands fought during the struggle for independence, which ended in 1814 with the accession of Ferdinand VII.

At the beginning of the XIX century. economic problems arose on the islands. Winemaking began to fade. Fortunately, the opportunity immediately presented itself to start a new production – cochineal. Parasitic bugs attacked prickly pear cacti. The tiny bodies of female bugs contained a bright red liquid – the perfect dye. For 50 years, millions of bugs have laid down their lives for the prosperity of the Canarian economy.

But in the 1870s. chemical dyes appeared, and the need for cochineal dried up. The Spanish government felt obliged to support the Canarian economy. In the middle of the XIX century. By royal decree, one port on each island was declared a duty-free zone (two on Tenerife). Low taxes and the absence of trade barriers had the desired effect. Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas have become the busiest ports in the world. British entrepreneurs have invested a lot of money in the development of the port of Las Palmas.

Bananas are the last monoculture of the islands. They were first exported in the 1880s, but World War I put an end to the trade. However, small sweet bananas continued to be grown on the islands as long as mainland Spain remained a guaranteed market.

In 1912, the islands had their own parliament, which began to deal with social, political and economic issues. Parliament cooperated most closely with local self-government bodies. At 1927, the islands were divided into two provinces: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which included Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which included the eastern islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Spanish Civil War

The conspiracy that started the Spanish Civil War originated in the Canary Islands. In 1936, a group of officers, dissatisfied with the policies of the Republican government, secretly gathered in the forests of La Esperanza in Tenerife. They were led by Francisco Franco, a right-wing nationalist who was sent by the government to the Canary Islands in the hope that he would do less harm in the islands. From the Canary Islands, Franco went to North Africa, where he prepared the invasion. Three years later, his army won a triumphant victory over the Republicans. During the civil war, a million Spaniards died.

The Canary Islands did not escape the horrors of the war (in Barranco del Inferno – Hell’s Gorge – thousands of Republicans were shot in Tenerife), but on the whole, during the dictatorship, the islands prospered. This period lasted until Franco’s death in 1975.

Tourism and environmental protection

tourism began to develop actively on the islands. Sometimes this led to a complete change in the landscape, as, for example, happened in Playa de las Americas in Tenerife or Playa del Inglés in Gran Canaria, which turned into real cities of the times of the “gold rush”. However, such cities, although they have created a reputation for the Canary Islands as a center of mass tourism, have remained an exception. Huge spaces on the most well-developed islands remained practically undeveloped. And on such islands as La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, tourism began to develop only in recent years. But tourism has greatly contributed to the improvement of the infrastructure and transport system on the islands.

After Franco’s death, a constitutional monarchy was restored in Spain and King Juan Carlos I ascended the throne. However, the subsequent decolonization of Western Sahara resulted in thousands returning to the Canary Islands, causing social and market problems.

In 1978, a new Spanish constitution was adopted, which enshrined democratic norms. The constitution paved the way for greater regional autonomy. In 1982, the Canary Islands received autonomy. The central government has delegated many functions to the local government. There are two capitals on the islands: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (the capital moves every four years). Each island has its own council. Council members are elected in a general election every four years. At 1986 Spain joined the European Union, and this put an end to the duty-free status of the Canary Islands. However, the islands managed to negotiate some concessions for themselves. The islands finally joined the European Union in 1995.

Despite the economic benefits of tourism, local authorities fear uncontrolled development. They are not happy with the unpleasant reputation of the islands as a paradise for drinkers. Recently, the emphasis is on a new image of the tourism industry. Ancient roads (caminos rurales) have been opened for tourists in the central mountains of Gran Canaria and in the north-eastern part of Tenerife. Financial assistance from the European Union helps develop rural tourism – new hotels are being opened in the central parts of the islands, old houses and farms are being converted for tourists. Eco-tourism is actively developing on the islands, which attracts nature lovers here.

When mainland Spain imposed restrictions on immigration in 2005, a new type of visitor arrived in the Canary Islands: illegal immigrants from North Africa. According to some estimates, in 2006, 25 thousand people made a dangerous journey from the coast of Africa.

Playa de las Americas Tenerife. What Is It Like?

Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife’s busiest resort, is a purpose-built, modern, well planned and clean resort on Tenerife’s sunny south coast, with palm tree-lined avenues and some impressive hotels and apartment blocks.

Playa de las Americas is a lively resort with its nightlife, water sports, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, diving, jeep safaris and many other activities. The chic shopping centres have some very high-quality shops and designer boutiques, and at night they transform into a centre for nightlife with trendy bars and stylish restaurants.

The seafront traffic-free promenades are lined with cafés, restaurants and shops, all the way from Los Cristianos right up to Puerto Colon, and are open all day up to about 11pm, so you can dine at lunchtime, afternoon and in the evening overlooking the sea.

Great effort has been made to improve the resort, it has really shed its past tacky image of under 25’s partying and drinking to excess, and the place is now very stylish and sophisticated with tourists of all nationalities filling the resort. The days of cheap booze and fish and chips have been replaced by a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan feel.

Playa de las Americas is mostly a low rise resort with only a few high rise hotels. Nearly all Playa de las Americas resort hotels have swimming pools and subtropical gardens . Take a look at our Playa de las Americas Resort photo gallery.

The noisy clubs and bars designed for the younger visitors are now mostly contained in the Veronicas area. Here bars and clubs are booming out dance music until dawn, the place livens up after midnight and is the place to party for the under 25’s. You will want to avoid this area if you don’t enjoy the loud, brash nightlife, it is aimed at young people wanting to stay out all night partying.

Water sports are available from the beaches, such as paragliding and water rafting.

Along the beach is a tree-lined promenade where you can walk to the more laid back resort of Los Cristianos or Costa Adeje, where there are also cafes and restaurants where you can take a drink or have some lunch overlooking the ocean.

Is Playa De La Americas A Good Snowbird Location? – Winter Sun Expert

Snowbirds looking to spread their wings into the warmer parts of Europe are faced with multiple options however one of the best places to go is Playa de las Americas in Tenerife. This holiday resort is located in the southern part of the island of Tenerife, Spain. It was developed in the 1960’s and is relatively close to another ideal snowbird location in the south of Tenerife, Los Cristianos.

Most of Playa de las Americas is a purpose-built man-made resort with sand imported from Africa. This resort is popular for its vibrant and bubbly nightlife, casinos, karaoke clubs, and bars. There are a number of other attractions to be enjoyed for visitors who are not too keen on staying out late every night.

Playa de las Americas is an amazing place to visit at any time of the year but it is particularly enjoyable in the winter. The weather is warm and sunny which is a welcome difference from winter rather at home. Since it is a purpose-built resort, all the amenities you need to enjoy your visit here has been duly provided. There are tons of beaches and activities to keep you busy and the island food is simply delicious. You’ll meet a lot of other tourists which is a great way to make new friends and the locals in the town are also very friendly.

Playa de las Americas has Mediterranean weather and remains warm and pleasant year-round. There is a big difference between the northeast of the island and the southwest. The Passat winds bring clouds and sometimes some rain from the northeast, but due to the high mountains in the middle of the island, they can not make they’re way to the south. There it is usually sunny and nice and during the winter temperatures are around 20°C (68°F) which is perfect for exploring the outdoors and relaxing by the beach. The winter weather is also dry and there is hardly any rainfall.

Playa de las Americas, and actually the whole of Tenerife is a safe tourist destination. There are low crime rates and tourists can feel safe walking around during their stay. Snowbirds Should take the same precautions they would at any tourist-centered area and keep their valuable items safe to avoid losing them. Also, avoid dark areas at night and do not travel around with large amounts of money or flash cash.

People will generally be helpful if you ever get into any trouble and you can call the emergency numbers 112 if you have any reports to file.

Spanish is the official language spoken in the Canary Islands. A lot of the locals in playa de las Americas speak fluent English or German so snowbirds may not run into any communication barriers. Visiting Playa de las Americas is a great opportunity to polish your Spanish language skills so take the chance to speak to the locals in their native language. Snowbirds who do not speak any Spanish at all can make do with a phrasebook for everyday words and conversation starters.

As Tenerife is part of Spain, European residents can use their mobile phones without any problems (roam like home). For non-EU residents, it is advised to check the rates, and if needed buy a local sim card from any of the mobile network providers outlets, kiosks, or supermarkets, and shops. You’ll need your passport to register and activate the SIM card. Once that is done, you can go ahead and start using the free minutes and data the sim comes with.

Attractions Playa de las Americas

The resort of Playa de las Americas is famous for its entertainment. In the nearest radius of the resort, for example, there are Aqualand and Siam Park water parks, which are equipped with state-of-the-art water attractions. So, in Aqualand you can find extreme slides, a zone for children, a family fan zone, as well as a recreation and relaxation zone, there is also a dolphinarium with colorful shows for the whole family. In Siam Park, in turn, there is an artificial tropical river 1 km long, a huge pool with artificial waves imitating the ocean and white-sand beaches, an aquarium with sea lions, various extreme attractions, etc.

In addition to the classic water activities, the resort of Playa de las Americas is able to surprise with its natural attractions. To do this, you should go to the park Las Aguilas (Jungle-park), where you can see the real jungle and the Amazon in the heart of Europe. The park is home to eagles, falcons, flamingos, parrots, orangutans, gibbons, lemurs, lions, leopards, jaguars, penguins, mongooses, crayfish, crocodiles and caimans and many more.

In search of natural attractions that abound in Tenerife, take a tour or drive to places such as the Teide Volcano National Park, the Güimar Pyramids, the Hell’s Gorge, the de Garcia Cliffs, the Puerto de la Cruz Botanical Garden. The coast will also delight with picturesque views, where white beaches give way to volcanic sand beaches, and open spaces turn into secluded coves.

Beaches of Playa de las Americas

The beaches of Playa de las Americas are united in a single area with the beaches of the resorts of Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos. In total, these are 8 km of the cleanest beaches made of volcanic sand (yes, you can’t find golden sand in Tenerife, the island was formed as a result of volcanic activity). All Tenerife beaches, including the resort area of Playa de las Americas, are free, only additional services, such as the use of umbrellas or sunbeds, can be provided for a fee.

The advantage of the beaches of Playa de las Americas is their location – on the south leeward side. Clouds with precipitation and wind do not pass through the mountain ranges located in the center of the island, so in the south of Tenerife it is always warm and there are almost no ocean waves. By the way, special breakwaters are additionally installed in the resort to prevent waves. Lifeguards are on duty on the beaches of Playa de las Americas, there are showers, toilets, open-air bars, and fish restaurants. It is worth noting that the beaches of Playa de las Americas are almost always crowded, because. the resort is very popular, especially among families with children, because. the entrance to the water here is gentle, and the coast warms up rather quickly. For waves and surfing, it is better to go to the north of Tenerife.

All in all, Playa de las Americas has all the trappings of a first-class beach holiday, including well-developed infrastructure, plenty of entertainment and an excellent year-round climate. Restaurants, discos, bars – all this can be found in abundance in the resort, which makes it seem a little noisy and party-like, but at the same time, on Playa de las Americas, you can always find a modicum of privacy in hotels specially created for this.

Playa de Las Americas — Tenerife resort guide

Las Americas (Tenerife), or Playa de Las Americas is a resort town located in the south of the island. It was from here that the sea route to America began. Today, the city of Las Americas has a casino and a theater, several shopping centers, equipped with fields for playing tennis and golf. Since Russian is often spoken on the streets of the resort, we can conclude that domestic tourists like to spend their holidays here. However, it is not the Spanish flavor that attracts them, it is not here, but the developed infrastructure, comfortable beaches and a variety of entertainment and attractions.

Photo: Las Americas, Tenerife island

Interesting fact! There are several stories associated with the name of the resort. According to one of them, the city was named after the Florentine traveler Amerigo Vespucci, and according to another, the name comes from the name of the sea route that connected the Canary Islands with America.

General Information

Playa de Las Americas is Tenerife’s largest resort and the most visited in the Canaries. It is separated from the capital of the island by a distance of 75 km. The city is located on the Atlantic coast, 20 km from the Reina Sofia airport and 80 km from the airport near the town of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Together with the coast, the area of the resort is 1.54 km2, it is part of the Arona district. The resort appeared in the second half of the last century on an absolutely empty stretch of coast and was immediately designed as a major entertainment tourist center. The length of the coastline is approximately 2.4 km.

Good to know! Unlike the north of Tenerife, the southern outskirts of the island are protected from wind and bad weather by mountains. Accordingly, most of the days of the year the ocean is calm here, and the weather is sunny.

The resort town was built from scratch – first an airport appeared, then sandy beaches were poured, after that hotels and restaurants began to appear like mushrooms after rain. By the way, the Russian language at the resort is a common thing, in many establishments the menu is translated into Russian, Russian-speaking guides work. The number of Russian-speaking tourists is from 2% to 4%, most of all in Playa de Las Americas, English and Germans.

When planning a trip to the resort of Tenerife, be prepared for the fact that you will not find any Spanish personality and special flavor here, but you can enjoy modern infrastructure, beach holidays, and nightly entertainment. The resort has places for diving, you can relax in the spa centers, and at night have fun in one of the nightclubs.

Interesting fact! In the south, Playa de Las Americas in Tenerife borders on other resorts – Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos. If you are more interested in a relaxing holiday for the family, choose hotels located closer to Los Cristianos.

This part of Tenerife’s resort is called the “Golden Mile”, tourists often come here in the evenings, relax in restaurants, visit the musical fountain, shimmering in different colors. The western part of the resort is recognized as fashionable and luxurious; the best restaurants and hotels are represented here. The center of Playa de Las Americas is the liveliest, here you can find hotels of any price category. But the eastern part of the city attracts shoppers.

Tip! To avoid the noise of party venues at night, book a hotel room with windows that face the opposite side.

Attractions Playa de Las Americas

Since the city is relatively young, there are no ancient architectural historical sights here. But this disadvantage is compensated by a decent selection of nightclubs and beautiful parks.

Singing Fountain

The Musical Fountain is located in the center of the city in Tenerife, it is difficult to walk past it, despite the fact that the structure is small. The fountain is two-tiered, oblong in shape, the backlight is turned on every evening, and the streams of water shimmer in different shades. The attraction looks most beautiful in the evening, when the light bulbs that decorate neighboring buildings create iridescent reflections.

Since the fountain is musical, passing by it, you will definitely hear famous melodies and classical works. It seems that the water obeys the music, creating harmony and emphasizing the beauty of the surrounding world.

You can visit the attraction at any time of the day and for free.

Golden Mile

The Golden Mile is the spacious Avenida de Las Americas that runs along the eastern side of the resort. This is a real paradise for shopaholics, because there is a huge number of stores designed for buyers with different income levels, from inexpensive to luxury boutiques. After shopping, you can relax and eat in one of the many cafes or restaurants. In the Golden Mile area you will find establishments with traditional Spanish cuisine, as well as themed establishments with national dishes from different countries.

Interesting fact! The main attractions of the Golden Mile are the Pyramid of Arona concert hall, decorated in antique style, as well as a musical fountain.

Avenida de Las Americas in Tenerife is never deserted, even at night there are many tourists. Many shops are open until late in the evening, so many vacationers come here to shop. Someone just comes to admire the bright shop windows. The main shopping center is Safari.

Golden Mile hotels are considered the most luxurious and expensive in the city.

Note! If you are relaxing in a resort with children, be sure to visit Loro Parque in Tenerife. A detailed description of this zoo, dolphinarium and botanical garden is presented on this page.

Embankment

The wide, palm-lined pedestrian street doesn’t quite look like a typical embankment. The fact is that, according to tradition, the promenade is located directly on the coast, but in Playa de Las Americas in Tenerife, the promenade also covers a fairly wide strip of beaches, so you have to walk to the ocean.

In the evenings, the embankment is filled with people, by the way, this is one of the widest streets of the resort town, all the rest are narrow.

Good to know! There are very few benches on the embankment, tourists rest on stone flowerpots, apparently they were made in this shape specifically for the convenience of people.

By tradition, there are many restaurants, cafes, bars and other integral attributes of a full-fledged, comfortable rest on the embankment. The promenade is decorated with an interesting dolphin bench, and here you can also ride in a carriage driven by a cowboy.

Siam Park Water Park

This is the largest water park in Europe, guests enter a fairy-tale kingdom where all attractions and entertainment are made in Thai style. This is not only an entertainment complex, business meetings, forums and corporate events, exhibitions, concerts, fashion shows are often held here.

Interesting fact! The most popular attraction is a 30 m long slide made in the form of a glass tube.

Even in winter, the water in the water park has a comfortable temperature of +24 degrees, if you wish, you can not only relax, but also eat surrounded by nature. On the territory of the attraction there is a zone of shops where you can buy various souvenirs.

More detailed information about the park with photos and prices can be found here.

Beaches of Playa de Las Americas

Undoubtedly, the beaches of Playa de Las Americas are one of the main attractions of the city. There are several of them, but we have made an overview of the best in terms of tourists.

El Camizón

This is one of the most visited beaches in Las Americas in Tenerife. Since it was created artificially, it has the purest, golden sand. There is a resting place at Cape Camison. There are no strong waves here due to the stone embankment that protects the beach from waves and wind.

On the shore there is everything you need for a comfortable relaxation – a lifeguard tower, sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented, there is a cafe. Vacationers come here all year round – someone goes in for sports, someone just enjoys the beautiful views. Popular hotels are also located near the beach.

Las Americas

This beach in Tenerife is often referred to as paradise on the island, because it is one of the best places for family, romantic or company holidays. There is clean sand and clear water. After a long tour of the city and sightseeing, it is very pleasant to spend a few hours on the beach.

In addition to relaxation, there are many bars, cafes, volleyball nets, water sports equipment rentals. You can go water skiing, catamaran, take a fascinating boat trip.

Interesting fact! Most often, tourists prefer traveling on a pirate ship to the habitat of whales and dolphins.

Troy

This beach will be of interest to lovers of waves. In addition, the beach is distinguished by black sand, which is very hot in hot weather, so it is uncomfortable to relax without shoes. Part of the coast is free and you can sit on a towel, for lovers of comfort there are sunbeds and umbrellas. The beach is quite crowded, but everyone can settle down. The infrastructure is excellent, but you have to pay for all the amenities.

Adeje Beaches

Costa Adeje is a resort area adjacent to Playa de Las Americas, where you can come on an excursion or relax on other equally picturesque beaches. Conventionally, this part of the island is divided into 4 beaches and one port:

Playa de La Pinta – protected from wind and waves, the coast is covered with gray, fine sand, the embankment runs along the coast;

Playa de Fanabe – one of the most picturesque beaches, suitable for families with children, the coast has everything you need for a comfortable stay;

Playa de Torviscas – protected from waves and wind by breakwaters, sand is fine, gray, infrastructure is developed;

Playa del Duque – a wide coastline, landscaped, the sand is fine, gray, the water is a beautiful turquoise hue, transparent.

See this page for a detailed description of the Costa Adeje resort.

Beaches of Los Cristianos

This quiet resort town has two beaches:

Playa de Las Vistas – large, well-maintained, located to the west of the port, the main holiday destination in Los Cristianos;

Playa de Los Cristianos – smaller and less comfortable, located east of the port.

Good to know! Playa de Los Cristianos is located in the port, so the water is not always clear and swimming is not recommended.

What you can do in Los Cristianos, its advantages and disadvantages – see this article.

Infrastructure Playa de Las Americas

Tenerife’s Playa de Las Americas is a daring, modern resort often referred to as an island with two faces. After all, one side of the island is lush, dense vegetation, high humidity and relatively low temperatures. The other side is dry land, protected by mountain ranges. One of the advantages of the resort is its convenient location – just 80 km from the international airport.

The city appeared recently – at the end of the last century, when the authorities decided to ennoble the southern part of the island and actively develop tourism. Initially, the area was a desert area and several fishing villages, but the project was so successful that funds came from investors from different countries. It took only 20 years to build a city with all the attributes of a modern resort – hotels, restaurants, nightclubs.

The 6 km long coastline is divided into two parts:

Playa de Las Americas in the east;

Costa Adeje in the west.

Eight beaches are equipped on the shore, each with a developed infrastructure.

The hotels are all modern, new and well-equipped, because the resort appeared relatively recently. There are about 60 of them in the city, three- and four-star hotels prevail, but lovers of comfort can book a room in a luxurious 5-star hotel. There are also apartments, guesthouses – comfortable accommodation for families with children and companies of young people.

If you get tired of relaxing on the beach, there is something to see in Playa de Las Americas. Near the city there is Arona Park – this is one of the most famous natural attractions, where you can see an impressive collection of exotic plants.

Another interesting place that attracts the attention of tourists is the eagle park, where not only proud and independent birds are gathered, but also various animals can be seen. The resort has two water parks – Aqualand and Siam Park.

Tip! Since the island is small, it is best to rent a car and drive around Tenerife to visit as many places of interest as possible. In addition, excursions and bus tours are organized to all tourist attractions.

Restaurants, nightclubs, pubs and discos are another attraction of the resort. It is simply impossible to list all such entertainments, because they are located on almost every street. If you love and know how to have fun, Playa de Las Americas is a great choice for travel.

Most of the streets in the resort are pedestrianized and designed for leisurely walks.

Weather and climate

The weather in Playa de Las Americas is suitable for a year-round holiday. The favorable comfortable climate of the southern coast attracts thousands of tourists every season.

The south of the island is protected from unpredictable weather changes. After all, the Teide volcano and the mountain range do not allow winds and rains to penetrate the city. For tourists who love a warm climate, Playa de Las Americas is a great choice.

The lowest water temperature is +19…+21 degrees from December to April. You can swim even in winter, but be prepared for the fact that after leaving the water it will be somewhat cool. At the same time, the air temperature at this time is comfortable for excursions around the island – +16..+19 degrees.

The high season in the south of Tenerife, including Playa de Las Americas, starts in June and lasts until mid-October. During the day, the thermometer rises to +24…+27 degrees, and at night it drops by only a few degrees – up to +18…+20. The amount of precipitation during this period is minimal, and sunny days and day length are maximum.

Thus, the best weather in Playa de Las Americas in Tenerife for lazy time on the beach and swimming in the ocean is during the summer months and September-October. The tourist season lasts all year round.

Practical recommendations for tourists

There are several information centers in the city, they are easy to find by the letter “I”. In any you can take a free map and a booklet with a list of attractions and entertainment.

Be sure to protect your skin from bright sun, use products with the highest degree of protection.

Points of sale marked “English store” or “German store” are adapted for tourists from England and Germany, the prices are appropriate.

It is best to pay in local currency, go to supermarkets for groceries, and buy souvenirs in street markets.

Rented transport makes sense to take only if you are traveling in a large company and planning long trips.

There are many street beauty salons in the city – for a nominal fee, African braids will be braided for you, and they will also offer a large selection of jewelry.

Still, Las Americas (Tenerife) is not devoid of Spanish flavor, however, to see it, you need to come here in early February, when the Canarian carnival is held or in the middle of summer, when San Juan night is expected in Spain.

description of the resort and my advice

Sandy beaches, rocky landscapes, replenishment of nature and a unique microclimate for health and relaxation – all this is Playa de Las Americas. An ideal place for lovers, party-goers and families with children.

Equipped in the 60s and 70s, the resort is highly appreciated by travelers due to its comfortable and mild climate, the richest variety of underwater world species, and an amazing choice of entertainment. The average daily temperature in winter is more than 22-24 C, and in summer up to 28C. This weather allows you to come and relax here all year round.

CONTENTS

Resort Features
Las Americas is a great place to relax, both for large companies and for couples with or without children. Although it is for families with children that I would recommend the quieter Adeje, located nearby. Las Americas is full of pubs, pizzerias and other fast food outlets – a real paradise for those who prefer entertainment and delicious food. The resort area has bars, nightclubs and restaurants.

A huge selection of accommodation for every taste and budget. Finding an option that suits your requirements and features is not difficult. Look for good hotels with real reviews on Booking.com.

Due to the popularity of the resort, there are quite a lot of people here, so do not expect privacy.

Personally, I prefer to stay in apartments in good condominiums for a long time in Tenerife. Prices are much cheaper, there is a kitchen where you can cook food. I definitely choose the option with a swimming pool (there are usually at least two of them – for children and adults), and a green area.

Tip: If you rent a car, choose a hotel or condominium with parking. Parking in the center and closer to the beaches is quite difficult, there are a lot of cars, and there are not enough parking spaces.

Beaches in Las Americas
The beaches of the resort are hand-finished, as the white sand you will walk on was brought from Africa and separately poured over the natural dark, volcanic sand. The result is a light gray mixture. Why cover up such beauty, which also has healing properties? It is believed that bright beaches are beautiful, so they are “ennobled” in this way.

All beaches have everything you need for a comfortable stay: changing rooms, toilets, showers, sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as kiosks selling soft drinks, beer and ice cream. It is worth noting the availability of any beach for visitors – unlike Turkey or Egypt, all beaches in Tenerife are free. However, you will have to pay for additional comfort – an umbrella with a sunbed will cost from 5 to 10 euros per day for two people.

There are two main beaches in Las Americas:

Playa del Camisón

Playa de las Américas

The beaches are not bad, with a good and smooth entry into the water, suitable for bathing children. Lifeguards are on duty. The water warms up quite well, so it is comfortable to swim all year round. There are quite a lot of people, but there is a place for everyone.

Weather in Playa de Las Americas
As I said earlier, it’s good to relax here all year round. Of course, in winter it is a little cooler here, especially at night. But during the day, just like in summer, you can enjoy the warmth of the Tenerife sun and gentle waves. The water temperature is from 20 to 25 C, a lot of sun – a great option for a beach holiday.

Attractions Las Americas
Siam Park, the world’s best water park, is very close by. This honorary title has been received by the water amusement park for more than a year, so you should definitely visit it. Take a ride on the water slides and see a real floating river market like in Asian countries.

Orlov Park, or Jungle Park, is also nearby. Less popular than the hyped Loro Parque, it’s also worth a visit. Frankly, the first three trips to Tenerife, I was not there, reading in the reviews that he is inferior to Loro Park in everything. However, on my fourth trip, I found time to visit and was very impressed. It simply cannot be compared with Loro – a completely different concept. From the deserted resort coast you find yourself in a real jungle. There are very few people, a large area. You can hug and take pictures with the lemurs. I recommend.

If you prefer walking, I recommend visiting Arona Central Park in the heart of Las Americas. It has a great collection of tropical and native plants, and just a great place to walk.

Entertainment at the resort
Surf schools try to attract tourists with original advertising

Golf las Americas is an 18-hole golf course right in the center of the resort. Bright green fields, skillful landscape created by the best designers, an exciting game marked by the wealthiest and most influential people in the world – all these pleasures are available to everyone here.

For those who do not want to leave the beach even for a minute, there is also something to do. For example, you can ride boats or jet skis, take surfing lessons, go diving.

By the way, surfing is very popular in Las Americas. There are many surf schools and specialty shops. Classes are suitable even for beginners: here the most unprepared tourist will be taught tolerably stay on the board in a couple of days. So if you wanted to try surfing, but everything didn’t work out, it’s time to start in Tenerife.

Be sure to take a sea excursion where you will meet dolphins and whales. Such walks are of different duration, in my opinion, two hours is enough.

Nightlife in Playa de las Americas
The resort is the center of nightlife in Tenerife. Nightlife boils and rages on the central streets. There are also attractions here. For example, the Patch restaurant, famous throughout the resort. Here you can not only eat delicious food, but also dance for the year ahead. Popular DJs come here to entertain the audience with modern dance music from night to morning.

Bars in the night Las Americas in the Veronicas area

Good dance bars – Rags and Linekers. Here everyone will find something suitable for their musical preferences, usually pop and r&b are played. Many bars have good live music. The streets are full of revelers until the early hours of the morning, especially during the summer months.

There are also two casinos in the resort, but I am calm about gambling, so I can’t tell you anything about them.

What to see in the area?
Outside the city you can find the fascinating art galleries Kulturpark Mariposa and La Mus . They contain the best paintings, design objects, sculptures. For those who are interested, there is an opportunity to attend master classes and learn painting from the best masters on their own.

Monkey Park or Monkey Park is nearby. The park has been operating for over 20 years, and visitors always leave satisfied and happy. There are many types of monkeys here: monkeys, chimpanzees, mandrills and the public’s favorite – lemurs, with which you can play and take pictures. Children will be happy to feed turtles and parrots, play with guinea pigs. You can have a great time in the park – a pleasant green area, coolness.

If possible, visit the nearby mountain Roque del Conde . A special tourist route has been laid along this picturesque corner of mountain nature. From here, incredibly beautiful views of the sea, beaches and the entire surrounding area open up.

The route to the mountain starts in the town of Arona. The first stop is the Barranca de Las Casas Gorge.

The next point is Las Arenas Gorge.

Behind it is the deep canyon of del Rey.

At the end of the ascent, you will have a magnificent view of the coastal area of Granadilla de Abona. There is also an old Canarian house, specially preserved in its original form for visiting and relaxing tourists.

You will see all this splendor by walking along a narrow mountain path, where wild cacti, lavender and chamomile grow.

Prices: accommodation, food, shopping

Los Americas is quite a democratic resort. There are luxurious restaurants and very inexpensive cafes. On average, prices are lower than in Los Gigantes.

Hotels and apartments
The average price for a good double room starts from 40-50 euros.

Very good apartments with a separate bedroom and a kitchen near the beach can be found for 30 euros. The choice is huge, look at Booking or AirBnB.

Made a mini-selection of the best hotels in Las Americas in terms of “price-quality” ratio for the average budget. Since I myself lived in only one of them, I focus on the reviews of travelers.

Hotel Cleopatra Palace 4* – is popular due to its proximity to the sea, impeccable service and cleanliness. Quite expensive (the usual price for a double room is about 200 euros with breakfast included), but you can catch a good discount. The famous Piramide de Arona concert hall is located on the territory.

Sol Tenerife 4 * – a very good four for an adequate price (about 60 euros for a double room with breakfast). I personally lived in it for a couple of days, I can’t say anything bad. It is very close to the beach and there are many shops nearby.

Palm Beach Tenerife 3 * – an inexpensive option for with good reviews. The average cost per room is about 50 euros.

Meals
Prices in cafes and restaurants are almost the same as in other popular southern resorts. The advantage is a very large selection of establishments, you can find an option for your budget.

A snack in fast food will cost up to 5 euros. The average cost of a main course in a cafe is up to 10 euros, the average check is 15 euros per person.

Personally, for a quick bite, I like the local equivalent of KFC – deep-fried chicken breasts and legs. A pair of such pieces with french fries will cost 2-3 euros.

Tip: I recommend asking the cafe about the dish of the day and the menu of the day – usually it turns out much cheaper than the main menu.

Food prices in shops in the center of the resort are slightly higher than in large supermarkets, but generally not significant.

Shopping
Avenida de Las Américas – Golden Mile and the main shopping area for tourists. There are a huge number of large shops and open-air shops. Walking along this avenue, you will definitely not leave without shopping – at least one souvenir, let it fly back to your homeland with you.

Impromptu street markets, perfume shops, restaurants, shopping centers. On the street there are fountains that illuminate everything around with colorful lights at night. Many famous brand stores: Escada, Ideal Joyeros, Nike Store, Adidas, Timberland, Armani, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana.

After a successful shopping, have a rest in one of the many cafes, the food here is varied and delicious.

Personal experience
Playa de las Americas is not as noisy as it is described. At night, only a few central streets are filled with the sounds of club or restaurant music, loud cheerful conversations and laughter.

You can find both relatively quiet and peaceful places where locals live, as well as areas where vibrant life does not fade away.

There are quite a lot of people and cars, there are difficulties with parking in the city, so I recommend walking around the resort and leaving the car in the parking lot at the hotel.

If you don’t know where to stay, I can recommend areas in the central part of Playa de las Americas for lovers of noisy fun and constant movement. Veronicas Street is the center of festivities and fun that lasts here around the clock. Here the parties go on all night long. For a more relaxing holiday, choose the streets a little further away, then you will not be disturbed by tourists walking around.

For families with children, I would recommend neighboring Adeje, where there are more beaches and quieter, and for lovers of romantic sunsets against the backdrop of majestic cliffs – Los Gigantes.
