How warm is it in Gran Canaria during May?

The temperature is extremely stable in May with average highs of 21℃ and lows just 2℃ lower at 19℃. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed.
Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it’s cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Gran Canaria during May?

On average, there will be 2 rainy days during the month, amounting to 1.1mm in total. That’s almost nothing at all, therefore rain isn’t something we think you need to consider. You’re not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.

How warm is the sea in Gran Canaria during May?

The water around Gran Canaria is around 20℃ during May. It will feel a little on the cool when first entering, but you’ll warm up quickly. Most kids will have no problem with this temperature, but those who feel the cold are unlikely to want to swim.

What to eat in Gran Canaria – The most delicious food in Gran Canaria

I have always believed that food is an important part of travelling. You can learn so much from a destination just by taking a stroll around the local market and learning about which are the most common products sold there. Gran Canaria surprised me with delicious dishes cooked with the freshest local produce grown on the island. The best food in Gran Canaria is based on simple ingredients that highlight flavour instead of a complex cooking process….

A review of Santa Catalina Hotel in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Weather in Gran Canaria, a miniature continent with sun all year

The weather in Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands in general is known to be one of the best in the world. Why? Mainly because the temperature throughout the year is generally temperate. That is to say, in summer the temperatures do not usually rise of 30 degrees and in winter they do not usually go below 15. In the same way, it is not a destination where it is usual to rain or be cloudy. In fact, the Canary Islands is the region of Europe that has more daylight hours throughout the year. It has been shown that sunlight provides numerous benefits and one of them is happiness. Maybe that is why the millions of tourists who visit the Canary Islands each year positively value the hospitality of its residents.

Sur de la isla, el mejor tiempo de Gran Canaria

Likewise, the weather in Gran Canaria is quite stable. This means that it is not an area hit by earthquakes, tornadoes, torrential rains or volcanic eruptions. That is to say, it is a very safe destination in this sense.

The weather in Gran Canaria. A miniature continent

You should know that Gran Canaria can have very different climates within the same island. For example, in winter in the interior and mountainous areas of the island there may be 5 degrees and be hailing and to the south of the island there may be perfectly 20 degrees and a spectacular sun. In the same way, it can be cloudy in the north with a pleasant temperature of 22 degrees and in the south a sun that breaks the stones and up to 28 degrees. That is, according to what part of the island, the weather can be very different.

Maspalomas nudist beach of Gran Canaria

As a general rule, the sun and the highest temperatures in Gran Canaria tend to be concentrated in the south of the island. On the contrary, the interior and mountainous areas tend to be cooler and rainier. In any case, due to the proximity of the Canary Islands to Africa, sometimes the famous haze known as “calima” or “weather from Africa” is given, with which the temperatures rise and the sky is slightly colored earth by the sand in suspension that brings wind. This is not common, but it can occur several times throughout the year. Mostly in summer.

Example of “calima” with some clouds in Agaete

Finally, you should know that the weather of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has been considered on numerous occasions and by different international media as one of the best in the world: sunny hours, pleasant temperatures and few days of rain.

Temperatures in Gran Canaria

As we mentioned at the beginning, temperatures in Gran Canaria are generally temperate throughout the year. That is to say, without suffering great contrasts between the different seasons. Therefore, in summer you can have a day of 23 degrees and in winter too. But the normal thing is that in the coastal areas the temperatures throughout the year are always pleasant and exceed 20 degrees during the day, especially in the south. On the contrary, in the interior of the island and higher areas, in the winter months the temperatures hardly rise of 20 degrees, but even so in very few occasions it is possible to be at temperatures below zero on the island.

Precipitations in Gran Canaria

Normally, it does not rain in Gran Canaria in summer. That is, between June and October, there is very little chance of rain. On the other hand, during the rest of the months it can rain 3 or 4 times a month, but normally it only occurs in the north or interior of the island, the south and, above all, the southwest, it is always an exception. This does not mean that it does not rain in the south of the island. In fact, when it rains in the south, it usually rains a lot. And it is when there is “southern storm”. In the south it rains well or it never rains.

Los Cernícalos waterfall

Wind in Gran Canaria

With the exception of storms or occasional storms (1, 2 or 3 throughout the year), the wind in the islands is usually mild and pleasant. The southeast and east of Gran Canaria is windier than the rest of the island. That’s why it’s a paradise for sports like windsurfing. One of these areas is Pozo Izquierdo and even world championships are held here.

Windsurf in Pozo Izquierdo, windy area in Gran Canaria

The trade winds make the temperatures in Gran Canaria pleasant throughout the year, as they replace hot air with cooler air from higher latitudes. In addition, these winds cause the well-known donkey belly that we explain to you next.

What is the “panza de burro” or donkey belly?

The belly donkey is an expression that canaries use when, thanks to the trade winds, clouds accumulate in the north of the most mountainous islands of the Canary Islands. As a general rule in Gran Canaria, it is usually produced in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. And normally during the months of July and August. This makes the clouds act as a screen against the strong solar radiation of summer and the climate is cooler than in other areas of the island. It is true that the presence of the donkey belly makes the heat more humid than usual.

Donkey belly in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The good thing about Gran Canaria being a continent in miniature is that if you want sun you can move 30 minutes by car to the south and you will have it.

Best time to travel to Gran Canaria

We can say that any month of the year is good to travel to Gran Canaria, since the weather is stable throughout the year as we said at the beginning. If you are looking for sun, you can always find it in the south. What is certain is that the months of September and October are when the sun is most guaranteed in the north and the donkey’s belly disappears, however, the countryside will be dry after spending the whole summer without raining. So the interior will be uglier.

Camping in Las Niñas dam, March 2018

Therefore, perhaps the best months to visit Gran Canaria and see it in its splendor are April, May and June, since the weather will be good in practically the entire island. In the same way, there will still be some greenery after the spring rains in the inland towns.

Monthly weather in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is one of the largest islands of the Canary archipelago, which is an autonomous part of the state of Spain. Its main wealth is the unique variety of natural landscapes. Thanks to various microclimatic zones, snow-capped peaks and the warm coast of the Atlantic Ocean, laurel forests and sand dunes perfectly coexist on it. Among the numerous resorts of the island, every tourist can find a suitable place for his ideal vacation. Maspalomas is the largest and most famous among them. Many hotels located in close proximity to the coast, various bars, restaurants and entertainment centers can satisfy the needs of the most sophisticated tourist. For a relaxing or romantic getaway, the small cozy towns of San Augustin and Puerto de Mogan are more suitable. And in Puerto Rico and Playa del Ingles, life is in full swing. Here, in addition to the beaches, you will find the largest number of shopping centers, water activities, nightclubs and discos on the island.

Climate features

In Gran Canaria, the weather is comfortable and hospitable for months. The maximum average temperature in summer is +31 °C, and in winter the thermometer does not fall below +20 °C. The mountain range, located almost in the center of the island, divides the resort into two climatic zones – southern and northern. In the southern part, winters are mild and warm, while summers are hot and dry. In the northern part, the climate is cooler and more humid, with frequent precipitation in the form of snow in winter, fog and rain in summer. The temperature difference between these parts of the island can range from two to seven degrees. The indicator of water temperature on the coast during the year varies slightly. In the winter months it is +19°C, and in summer +24 °C.

Weather in Gran Canaria in winter

During the first month of the calendar winter in most of the island, the average daily temperature rarely drops below +21 °C, and at night below +17 °C. Moreover, on the southern side of the island, this figure is 3-4 degrees higher. The water temperature in the first half of the month is +21 °C, closer to January it will be +19–20 °C. The northern part is characterized by light clouds and light precipitation. In December, tourists come to Gran Canaria mainly for affordable excursions.

In the second half of the month, the inhabitants of the island prepare for the Catholic Christmas. Holiday fairs are starting. Fine products of local craftsmen flaunt on the stalls, music sounds everywhere and the smell of freshly prepared food, so you definitely won’t be bored.

In January, the daytime air temperature on the island is +20 °C, at night it fluctuates between +16–18 °C. Precipitation is likely, but quite rare and short-lived – no more than 3-4 rainy days. The wind spoils the rather pleasant weather in Gran Canaria a bit, so a windbreaker or a warm sweater will do. Water temperature 19-20°C.

Tourists visiting the island this month are advised by local guides to go sightseeing on the south side of the island. It is 2-3 degrees warmer and less windy there. But if the purpose of your trip is not a beach holiday, but adventure and adrenaline, go to the mountainous regions of the island. The view from the Pico de las Nevas observation deck is breathtaking and amazing. This is the highest mountain on the island, from which you can admire the rock of Roque Bentayga and Mount Roque Nublo. The latter is considered one of the unchanging symbols of Gran Canaria.

The weather conditions in February are very similar to those of the previous month. The average daily temperature is +19 °C, but on a calm, clear day, the temperature in the southern resorts can be 23–25 °C. At night, the thermometer is in the range of 15-17 ° C. The number of rainy days is reduced to two. The water on the coast is not yet conducive to swimming – + 18–19 ° C.

Fragrant almonds bloom beautifully in Gran Canaria in February. But still, the main event of the month is a colorful carnival. For several days, it turns the capital of the island of Las Palmas into a big stage, on which, accompanied by incendiary music, bright costumed processions and various theatrical performances take place.

Weather in Gran Canaria in the spring

With the advent of spring, the sun warms up the daytime air to +21 °C, while the night air does not change yet – +15–17 °C. The water temperature is also at its lower limit of 19°C. The number of sunny days is increasing. In March, the southern part of the island is visited by sand winds from the Sahara. This is a rather unpleasant, but short-lived phenomenon. Such storms last no more than 2-3 days.

Curious tourists at this time can go on an interesting excursion in the footsteps of the Guanches – the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands.

Holidays in Tenerife are interesting in any month. But still in high season
many experienced tourists avoid coming here. Crowds of tourists
Crowded beaches and high prices are not to everyone’s taste. Reasons to go on tour in Tenerife
several in May.

First, undoubtedly, low prices. After the tourist peak, some hotels stop working for a while,
and others significantly reduce the cost of their services in order to recoup their work at the expense of more guests.
Tours in May in Tenerife are a great choice for those who like to save money.

Hotels in Tenerife are of an excellent class, there are representatives of well-known chains.
In hotels, there are often animators with a program for kids and adults.

Secondly, a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. No noisy crowds of tourists, queues to monuments and museums,
on the streets you can meet only local residents – you can relax and spend your holidays in almost complete seclusion.

Third, the entertainment program. Rare resorts in the off-season completely “die out”, they become centers of cultural life.
Tenerife in May is no exception. At this time, various festivals, concerts, exhibitions are held here. Museums and attractions also work on schedule.
A tour to Tenerife in May will especially appeal to older people.

Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Islands. The shores of Tenerife are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The island is not that big, but nevertheless it is the most populated in Spain. Even the name of the island is very pleasing to the ear: Tenerife… Many people know this place, but, unfortunately, only by hearsay. Tours in Tenerife are not always cheap, besides, you need a visa, so our compatriots prefer not to bother and fly to the good old or.

Well, Tenerife is a more cultural resort, although it can also offer a quiet, secluded vacation, and noisy fun. Tenerife is the “island of eternal spring”, because it is always warm here, because the island is located at the latitude of the Sahara desert and the central parts of countries such as Morocco, Algeria and northern Libya. The climate of Tenerife is very mild and pleasant, and allows you to relax at any time of the year. But today I would like to talk about what a holiday in Tenerife is like in May.

On average, the island is very warm in May
, the temperature fluctuates between +22°C and +27°C in the first half of the month and between +20°C and +25°C in the second half of the month. That is, by the end of the month, temperature drops become smaller, but there is also a slight general drop in temperatures (do not worry, by 1-2 degrees). Nights in Tenerife are quite warm
, temperatures are approximately the same throughout the month, fluctuating between + 17 ° С and 20 ° С. Not hot nights, of course, but not cold either.

Thus, it is quite warm, pleasant, the sun shines in the sky for almost the entire month, the length of daylight hours is 13-13.5 hours a day. You can safely throw summer sundresses, T-shirts and flip flops into a suitcase, but do not forget about light jackets in case of cool evenings.

May precipitation in Tenerife
happen, but they are very, very few. In May, no more than 5.5 mm of precipitation can spill over the island (that is, it is one cloudy or rainy day), and in general, May is one of the driest months of the year (only June and July are dry, August is the same as May) . Winds blow off the coast, but they are not cold, and during the day they bring a pleasant coolness.

Ocean
, beautiful ocean in May, unfortunately not so warm in May. The water temperature is about the same throughout the month, well, except for a tiny warming by the second half of May (by one degree, which you are unlikely to feel). The average water temperature off the coast of Tenerife in May is +20°C, sometimes it drops to +19.5°C, sometimes it rises to +20.5°C. Not to say that the water is warm – I would say that it is cool, but you can quickly swim. If you are a cold person, then you can always just wet your feet or admire the gorgeous views of the ocean. Comrades, the ocean, not the sea! And, for that matter, lying on the beach, you “risk” beautifully tan in May.

If you come to the island on May 1, you will find the celebration of Labor Day
(maybe not quite pompously, but they celebrate it). On May 30, the island hosts a rather magnificent celebration of Canary Islands Day
. It is celebrated, as you might guess, throughout the Canary archipelago and has been celebrated since 1821, when the Canary Islands were proclaimed a separate province within Spain.

Fiestas de la Cruz is of no small importance
. This is one of the main events in the holiday calendar of the city of Los Realejos (in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife). The roots of the holiday rest in the 15th century, and gradually, from an event of an exclusively religious nature, the celebration began to be less strict, and began to include dances, bonfires (currently fireworks) and mass celebrations – this continues to this day (the celebration falls on the night of May 3).

May weather and lack of precipitation allows tourists to make excursions around the island and neighboring islands. The island is small (only about 120 km long and about 75 km at its widest point), so you can easily go around it up and down during your vacation. And there are many interesting things on the island! Let’s start with the fact that the island, although small, but with a rich history. The first people in Tenerife appeared approximately between the 5th century BC. e. and the beginning of our era – they were the Guanches, in fact, the indigenous population of the Canary Islands. In the subsequent history of the island, there were also many remarkable events, and all this was reflected in the appearance of larger cities. For example city Santa Cruz de Tenerife
is a wonderful, cozy, warm town with a number of attractions. For example, here you should go to Plaza de España
(the largest and most important square in the Canary Islands). It is relatively new, having been built in 1929. In the center of the square stands the Monument to the Fallen, built after the Civil War (a tower in the shape of a cross with an observation deck at the top, and an underground chapel at the base of the monument). Also on the square is a fountain with sea water. The square is especially beautiful in the evening, when it is illuminated by a garland of drop-shaped light bulbs.

Not to be missed in this city Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife
, one of the main Masonic temples in Spain and the first in the Canary Islands. The temple was built at the very beginning of the last century.
Go to Museum of Nature and Man
(Archaeological Museum), where expositions are dedicated to the geology, archeology, flora and fauna of the Canary Islands. And, of course, Auditorio de Tenerife
, one of the most recognizable buildings in Spain and a symbol of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This is a very unusual post-modern opera house, which was built in 2003.

Next, Township of San Cristobal de la Laguna
, which is located near the capital (from there you can get by tram), if you go “inland” of the island, is on the UNESCO lists in Spain.
The city, finally formed by the 16th century and once the capital of the Canaries, impresses with its structure: straight streets, intersecting, formed quarters. And it is also the first city that is not a fortress, and the principles of its structure were used by the Spanish in the construction of cities in North America.

Be sure to visit Royal Basilica of Candelaria
. This is a Catholic church of incredible beauty in the city of Candelaria. Our Lady of Candelaria is the patroness of the Canary Islands.

And of course Guimar Pyramids
– six small pyramids in the city of Guimar on the southeast coast of the island of Tenerife. Scientists suggest that the stepped pyramids are just heaps that local farmers made (they simply threw off unnecessary stones when plowing the fields). Then scientists suggested that the Guanches lived in the pyramids. There is no consensus yet, but the pyramids are definitely worth a look in person. By the way, they are now located on the territory of the ethnological park with an area of 65,000 m².

Another attraction of the island is its natural beauty. For example, more active people can go to Teide
– the volcano and the highest point in Spain, as well as the highest peak in this ocean. The crater of the volcano is very large – 17 km (this is the third such large crater in the world). Teide is currently dormant, and the last eruption occurred in 1909. It is not necessary to climb to the crater, but you can admire this colossus closer. By the way, pieces of the frozen lava of the volcano are used to make souvenirs.

Another attraction – Hell’s Gorge
. This is a nature reserve in the southwestern part of the island in the municipality of Adeje. Naturally, it is assumed that the ubiquitous Guanches once lived in this gorge (so they decided on the rock paintings). For tourists, she developed a hiking trail (it starts in Adeje) 6.3 km long. At the end of the trail you will see a small waterfall – and this, for a moment, is the only source of fresh water in Tenerife! The waterfall is huge, the water flies from a height of 80 m, but in May it is not as full-flowing as in other months of the year. True, the entrance to the trail was closed due to two accidents, but perhaps someday the road to the waterfall will again become available to tourists.

In conclusion, I would like to say that, despite the slight disadvantages in the weather (cool ocean, for example), the month of May is very suitable for a trip to Tenerife, and the trip itself simply cannot but be remembered and liked!

One of the best resorts in the world, Tenerife blooms in May like never before. Nature finally woke up, and bloomed here, as the famous song says, “even a stump.”

In fact, nature itself endowed this region with invaluable riches, which have long been appreciated by people who love the beauty of this region. Our travel company Tez Tour offers those who wish to travel to a world-class resort.

The best vacation in the resort

A wonderful resort that opens the season in May, hospitably opens its virtual doors to all vacationers. Tenerife in May warms up from the bright and almost constant sun. This month, precipitation may fall, but not more than a third of the month.

According to meteorologists, May is usually a sunny month, and it can rain for about a week, no more. The air temperature rises to + 20 + 23 ° C, and on some days + 25 + 26 ° C.

However, the earth has not yet warmed up enough, and therefore in the late evening and at night it is only +10+14°C. As for the water in the sea, it all depends on how warm the whole month turned out to be, but it is already warm, it allows you to swim and its temperature reaches +17 + 20 °C.

Such water, of course, is good only for hardened people and for fans of sea swimming, but there are enough such lovers on the beaches of Tenerife. There are even more on the beaches of those who like to sunbathe near the water under the mild gentle sun. There is always an opportunity to bask in the sun on the beaches of Tenerife hotels, here you will be given sun loungers or deck chairs, if you want, then umbrellas.

In Tenerife, the weather is mostly dry in May, with more chances of rain in the north. Tyutchevskoe “I love a thunderstorm in early May” – very suitable for the climate of the resort. A fast-passing thunderstorm brings incredible ozone freshness and only improves the overall atmosphere.

The wind subsides by the end of the month. Humidity is quite moderate – 64%. In general, the weather in May is comfortable, there are fewer unpleasant winds, as well as rainy days. Therefore, you can plan a vacation not only on the beach, but also trips to historical sites or other places of entertainment.

Los Gigantes – Tenerife´s Charming Seaside Town of Giants

The charming seaside town of Los Gigantes has maintained its popularity throughout Tenerife´s travel boom years. Los Gigantes is located on the sunny, west coast of the island, approximately a 45 minutes drive from Tenerife´s southern airport Reina Sofia.

Los Gigantes is one of the most attractive natural wonders on Tenerife. The town is protected by impressive rock cliffs up to 800 metres high and which drop down to the sea almost vertically.

Los Gigantes – The Cliffs of the Giants

Acantilados de los Gigantes translates to “cliffs of the giants”. These massive cliffs gave this pretty town its name and they extend from Los Gigantes to Punta de Teno which is the most westerly point of the whole island. When arriving to this small coastal town these cliffs offer quite an impressive view, located only a mere 30 kilometres away from the popular holiday areas of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas.

Over time the town of Los Gigantes has grown together with the neighbouring holiday resorts of Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. These three areas are very close to each other and the best way to move around is by foot.

Los Gigantes is a fantastic option for those who are looking for a quieter holiday resort. Los Gigantes has lots of shops, cafés, restaurants and family bars around and the town enjoys the best weather conditions on the whole island.

The Black Beaches of Los Gigantes

Tenerife´s natural beaches can be recognised from the volcanic black sand. Most of the golden beaches in the southern part of the island are man-made and the sand is often imported from the Sahara Desert. The Los Gigantes area is very volcanic due to its proximity to island´s very own volcano – Mount Teide. The majority of swimming spots here are ravines and rocky bays, but there are few exceptions.

The only sandy beach in Los Gigantes is located right next to the marina. The small, clean Los Guios Beach is only 180 metres long and is very rarely crowded. You´ll find sun loungers and public toilets on the beach, but parking can be challenging in the small marina area. Although the beach is probably not the best one in the area, it is the only one that offers an amazing view of the colosal Los Gigantes cliffs.

You can easily walk from Los Gigantes to the next holiday resort of Puerto de Santiago, most of the locals live in this former fishing village which has retained some of the old, authentic Canarian feel and atmosphere. Puerto Santiago has a small black sand beach where locals spend their weekends, but it lacks facilities and size and therefore visitors prefer the more convenient beach of Playa de la Arena, which is the next area after Puerto de Santiago.

The increasingly popular holiday destination of Playa de la Arena attracts more and more travellers every year. Also, the beach of Playa de la Arena is more appealing to visitors in the area and it can get very crowded on sunny days. Playa de la Arena´s black sand beach has carried the reputable Blue Flag since 1989. You´ll find sun loungers and parasols available for rent and many beach-side restaurants just next to the beach. Remember that the black, volcanic sand gets burning hot on sunny days, so make sure you bring suitable footwear when heading to this beach. The waves here can get dangerous, so be aware of any warning flags displayed on the sand.

Refreshing Natural Pools

There are plenty of natural seawater pools on Tenerife, most of them are entirely natural and some of them have had a little help from human hands. You can find a few of these natural swimming pools in Los Gigantes. Probably the most popular of them is Isla Cangrejo, which is a large, natural pool located between Los Gigantes and Puerto de Santiago. The edges of the pool are man-made, protecting it from large sea waves, swimming here is a very refreshing and interesting experience.

It´s not always easy to find these pools because they are normally located in quite remote areas. The best way to find Isla Cangrejo is by heading to Calle Magnolia in Puerto Santiago, which is approximately a 20 minute walk from the Los Gigantes marina.

Los Gigantes – Magical Mecca of Water Beasts

There are a number of water sport rental companies in the Los Gigantes area offering a large selection of equipment hire. Whether you are looking to hire a boat or a speedy jet ski, you´ll find plenty of options in the Los Gigantes marina. Many travellers pack up their picnic bags, rent a motorboat and enjoy a relaxing cruise and a close up view of the magnificent Los Gigantes cliffs. You can also take part in one of the guided boat tours that goes out to the remote beach of Masca Valley.

It is been said that over a third of all whale and dolphin species pass through the waters surrounding the Canary Islands and going out to see these amazing mammals is an increasingly popular activity in Tenerife. The Los Gigantes coast is home to a large population of whales and dolphins and you can see them by going on one of the many boat expeditions which are offered by the tour companies which operate in the marina. The tours normally include some snacks and drinks and you´ll often be spoiled with a short dip in the refreshing waters of the quiet beaches in front of the cliffs.

Shopping and Sightseeing

There´s a small shopping centre near the marina which has a large supermarket, shops and cafés. There are a few nice shopping choices in the narrow streets of the area including designer, brand and specialty shops and also a few smaller souvenir shops and supermarkets.

You´ll find lots of lovely restaurants in Los Gigantes to suit a range of budgets. You can´t walk for more than few minutes without tripping over a restaurant or a café. There are plenty of good restaurants serving local and traditional Canarian cuisine, so take the opportunity to discover and experience the fabulous food on the island!

There are great opportunities for sightseeing and day trips in and around Los Gigantes. You can easily hire a car and drive to the amazing Mount Teide volcano, which is located 98 kilometres from Los Gigantes. There´s also Siam Park, which is one of the most popular water parks in not only Tenerife but the whole of Europe and it´s only a half an hour drive away. You can also discover some of the lovely fishing villages along the southern coast or take a tour around one of the wineries of the island. No matter what time of the year you visit Los Gigantes, don´t miss a day trip to the magical Masca valley!

Los Gigantes Beach – One of the best beaches in Tenerife

Share

Tweet

Playa de los Gigantes is one of my favorite places in Tenerife, together with Duque Beach, Charco el Diablo and Las Teresitas Beach. However, what sets this beach apart is its black sand and breathtaking cliffs rising from the ocean.

If you’re looking for a spectacular beach that will take your breath away, make sure to visit Playa de los Gigantes. The beach itself is not very big, but the water is perfect for swimming.

In this guide, I’ll share everything you need to know when visiting Los Gigantes Beach, one of the best beaches in Tenerife. Let’s get to it!

1. What to expect at Los Gigantes Beach, Tenerife

2. Swimming at Playa de los Gigantes

3. Parking at Playa de los Guios

4. Best restaurants near Los Gigantes Beach

5. Activities at Los Gigantes

6. Los Gigantes resort town

7. Places to visit near Los Gigantes Beach

8. How to get to Los Gigantes and Los Guios Beach

9. Where to stay in Tenerife

10. Final thoughts

1. What to expect at Los Gigantes Beach, Tenerife

Located in the resort town Los Gigantes, Playa de los Guios, aka Los Gigantes, is well-known for the tall cliffs that reach up to 800 meters. The beach is about 180-meters long, but it has all the facilities you need for the perfect beach day.

You can find showers and toilets right on the beach or nearby. There is also a lifeguard constantly checking that everyone is safe.

Like most beaches in Tenerife, Los Gigantes is covered in black sand. If you’re looking for golden sand beaches, you can head to El Duque Beach or Las Teresitas Beach. Make no mistake, these two beaches used to have black sand too, but the local authorities imported golden sand to satisfy all tastes.

Just a short walk away, you can find countless souvenir shops, bars and restaurants. You can easily spend an entire day at Los Gigantes Beach. This place is amazing!

Right near the beach, there is a port where you can book trips with catamarans or a scuba-diving experience. If you choose to book a trip with a catamaran, you’ll most probably see dolphins and whales.

Near the port, there are a few restaurants where you can try some delicious seafood and tapas. You can easily plan to spend an entire day in the area, but if you’re rushing, I recommend spending at least two hours at Los Gigantes.

Good to know – during the first part of the day, the cliffs provide natural shade. At sunset, the sun shines directly towards the beach and there is no natural shade, so I advise you to wear sunscreen.

2. Swimming at Playa de los Gigantes

The water gets gradually deep, making it perfect for swimming. Be careful if you’re trying to swim on the right side of the beach because there are a few rocks on the bottom of the ocean.

When I visited this beach, the waves were moderate, but the currents were pretty strong. I don’t think it’s a good idea to venture too far from the shore.

There is a lifeguard on the beach and if you’re swimming too far, he’ll signal you to come closer to the shore.

3. Parking at Playa de los Guios

During high season, finding parking can be difficult. I recommend parking your car at the marina. The fee is 2 Euros per hour. From the marina, it’s a 5-minute walk to the beach.

4. Best restaurants near Los Gigantes Beach

One of the best restaurants in the area is KV Bar Gourmet. The seafood is delicious and the services are impeccable. The restaurant also offers a beautiful view of the marina.

Another restaurant I recommend, located right near Playa de los Gigantes is Tas-K. They serve fresh and delicious fish, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great.

If you’re looking for a nice bar, you can try Puravida or Barraquito.

5. Activities at Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes Marina

Take a cruise

Probably the most popular activity at Los Gigantes is joining a cruise. There are many tour companies right near the harbour. If you’re visiting Tenerife during the holidays, I recommend booking your tour in advance. If not, you can buy your tickets directly from the harbour.

There is a big population of dolphins and whales around Tenerife, but most of them spend their time near Los Gigantes beach. During a cruise, you’ll be able to see these incredible creatures and admire them in their natural habitat.

Whales, Tenerife

Diving

The marine life at Los Gigantes is incredible. You can admire angel sharks, stingrays, corals, parrotfish and many other marine creatures. There are plenty of dive sites to choose from at Los Gigantes, suitable for all levels of experience.

Some of the sites located nearby are La Caleta, El Condesito wreck and Marazul. If you choose El Puertito, you can even see turtles!

Shopping

Even though there is no shopping mall in Los Gigantes, you can find plenty of stores near the marina and around the city. There are a few big brands such as Lacoste, but most shops are smaller brands, even local ones.

Sunset at Los Gigantes

6. Los Gigantes resort town

As you probably know, there are countless resort towns around Tenerife. Most of the time, in these resort towns you’ll only find hotels. Locals live in areas like Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz or smaller villages.

Los Gigantes is a quiet resort, perfect for families and couples. You can choose between a wide range of activities in the area or you can simply relax, discover excellent restaurants and admire the views.

Los Gigantes street

Keep in mind that the town is built on a steep hill. Therefore, taking a relaxing walk might not be that relaxing. If you’re planning to stay at a hotel in Los Gigantes, it’s a must to have comfortable shoes!

Los Gigantes Resort

7.

Places to visit near Los Gigantes Beach
If you want to admire one of the best views on the island, head to Mirador Archipenque. This incredible viewpoint is located right on the side of the road and it offers stunning views towards Los Gigantes.

Plan at least half an hour here and don’t forget your camera home!

Mirador Archipenque

Playa de la Arena, a beautiful black-sand beach is located just a short drive away. This beach is becoming increasingly popular among tourists due to its beauty. However, if you’re looking for a true hidden gem, make sure to visit Charco el Diablo.

At Charco el Diablo you’ll find beautiful natural pools formed inside lava rocks. The scenery is spectacular and, the best part is that this place is not mainstream yet.

Charco el Diablo

A must-see on the island is Teide Volcano, located about 100 km away from Los Gigantes. Teide is the highest peak in Spain, with a height of a little over 3700m. With the cable car, you can reach 3500 meters, but to climb the summit, you need a special permit (only 200 such permits are released each day).

-> Other must-see places in Tenerife:

Climb Mount Teide – The tallest mountain in Tenerife

Take a whale watching cruise

Siam Park – The world’s best water park

8. How to get to Los Gigantes and Los Guios Beach

Los Gigantes is located on the western coast of Tenerife, 40 kilometers away from Tenerife South Airport and 100 km away from Santa Cruz. A short drive away from Lost Gigantes is Masca, one of the most popular areas in Tenerife.

While exploring Tenerife, I recommend renting a car. It’s cheap and convenient – prices start at 30 euros per day. Most parkings on the island are free. We chose this option and rented a car for a couple of days and managed to drive around the island and see many tourist attractions along the way.

Another option to get to Los Gigantes would be to take the taxi. The starting fare is 2,68 EUR plus 0,47 EUR per kilometer. Getting around by taxi is much more expensive than renting a car.

There are also buses in Tenerife but the connections aren’t always great. A few of the bus stations located in Los Gigantes are Quinto Centenario, Correos and Los Gigantes. Given the fact that this resort is built on a steep hill, if you arrive by bus you’ll most probably have to take a taxi to your hotel.

Good to know – once you get at Los Gigantes marina, head to Calle Los Guios to reach the beach. Walk for a few minutes until you’ll reach a beautiful mural on your right side. That’s the entrance to Los Guios Beach.

9. Where to stay in Tenerife

Even though Tenerife is not a big island, there are plenty of accommodation options, suitable for every budget. I’ve been searching for the best hotels on the island and here are my recommendations.

LaBranda Bahia Hotel

Budget – Atlantic Holiday Hotel – amazing ocean view, beautiful modern studio, good location, friendly staff, good amenities

Mid-Range – Labranda Bahia – beautiful pools, good location, spacious rooms and good services, friendly staff, all-inclusive

Luxury – Fantasia Bahia – perfect for couples and families, excellent services, all-inclusive, huge & modern rooms, beautiful pools

10. Final thoughts

Los Gigantes Beach, aka Los Guios Beach, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife. The tall cliffs, the ocean, the cute restaurants are just some of the reasons why you should visit this place. In my opinion, Los Gigantes is the most beautiful destination on Tenerife’s Western Coast.

10 BEST THINGS TO SEE IN LOS GIGANTES IN TENERIFE

The cliffs of Los Gigantes are one of the most spectacular landscapes in Tenerife. Located on the west coast of the island, Los Gigantes rises majestically from the sea in the form of vertical rock walls which, in some places, reach 600 meters in height.

As far as the eye can see, this natural wonder offers an unforgettable panoramic view over a large part of the coastline.

In fact, Los Gigantes in Tenerife extends from the port of Los Gigantes to Punta de Teno, at the western end of the island. There are many ways in which you can admire this stunning landscape.

READ: 25 BEST THINGS TO SEE IN TENERIFE

The Guanches, ancient aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary islands, considered Los Gigantes a sacred area known as “Muralla del Infierno” or “Muralla del Diablo”. For them, the rock formation represented the end of the world.

In this post we explain all you need to know for your visit of Los Gigantes in Tenerife.

Enjoy your trip!

How to get to Los Gigantes?
The fastest route to get to Los Gigantes from anywhere in Tenerife South is the TF-1 motorway. On this highway, towards Guía de Isora, take the first exit towards Vera de Erques, then at the roundabout take the third exit towards TF-46. At the next roundabout, take the TF-47 towards Alcala, and follow this road until Los Gigantes.

Renting a car is the easiest way to explore the island. To get the cheaper rate we used Rentalcars.com. Check it out here for the best deals.

However, if you do not like to drive in Tenerife, you can hire a driver for the day. Many taxi drivers offer day trip in Tenerife. You can customize your trip for the day. Book here.

So what are the best places to see in Los Gigantes?

READ: BEST TIME TO VISIT TENERIFE

1. The Archipenque viewpoint
For those not too keen on visiting Los Gigantes by boat, the Archipenque viewpoint is perhaps the best way to admire those huge cliffs. The structure is part of the island network of Miradors (viewpoints) and offers a spectacular panoramic view, not only of the cliffs of Los Gigantes, but also of the town, its marina, the lighthouse of Punta de Teno and even of the island of La Gomera.

Located next to the main road between Tamaimo and Puerto de Santiago, this viewpoint is easy to find. Although there is no bus stop, it has parking and an information panel that will ensure that you do not miss any of the panoramic views.

This viewpoint also has a small bar-restaurant, where you can enjoy traditional Canarian cuisine, as well as a nice souvenir shop. Either way, the best thing is the view.

Location: here

2. Punta de Teno viewpoint
At the northwest end of the island of Tenerife is Punta de Teno. This strip of land is at the end of the cliffs of Los Gigantes, but it is also another magnificent viewpoint.

In the heart of the Teno Rural Park, you can also see the Punta de Teno lighthouse, as well as different viewpoints that offer a different panoramic view of the surroundings of Los Gigantes.

The Punta de Teno lighthouse is probably the most iconic of the island’s seven lighthouses, and the rocky path that leads to it offers picture-perfect scenery.

Anyway, Punta de Teno is a small paradise which, due to its difficult access, is not known to many people and is therefore little visited. Thanks to this isolation, the nature remained untouched there. Punta de Teno is a protected area and therefore access by road is prohibited from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in winter and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. in summer.

Location: here

3. The beach of Los Gigantes
The best beach in Los Gigantes is Los Guíos. We genuinely fell in love with this place. The beach is literally surrounded by huge cliffs.

The best way to enjoy this cove of black sand and calm waters is to go there on foot. Once there, its 180 meters long is enough to contemplate incredible views of the cliffs surrounded by all kinds of services and activities.

Los Guíos is one the best beaches in Tenerife. We listed the 10 BEST BEACHES IN TENERIFE HERE.

Location: here

4. Natural pools of Los Gigantes at Puerto Santiago
As if the beach of Los Gigantes was not enough, Los Gigantes offers another amazing place to swim. In Puerto Santiago there is a beautiful natural swimming pool. This place is usually perfect for swimming, however there could be strong waves crushing against the rock. So keep your children safe during your visit.

Location: here

5. Wander around the marina
If you drive to Los Gigantes by car, then the best place to park is around the Marina (location). The parking is not free, but only cost us a few euros for a half day. We felt that it was reasonable.

We parked all the way at the end of the Marina. It was perfect as we could observe beautiful boats, with the town and the huge cliffs in the background. There are also many restaurants, so if you want to eat some great seafood, Los Gigantes marina would be a great spot.

6. Go a boat tour to watch dolphins and whales
Visiting Los Gigantes by boat is one of the most popular attractions in Tenerife. This experience, takes you to a visit of the surroundings cliffs of Los Gigantes and it allows the observation of a multitude of animals . Pilot whales, dolphins, killer whales, sperm whales and fin whales can be observed in this area.

As this attraction is rather popular, booking in advance is required. You can do so here.

7. Kayaking or Stand-up paddling at Los Gigantes
Adventure sports are growing in popularity and the cliffs of Los Gigantes provide the perfect backdrop. Jet skiing, paddle surfing and, of course, kayaking in Los Gigantes are some of the activities on offer for those looking to experience this natural wonder in a different way. You can rent kayaks and SUPs at Playa Los Guíos.

8. Discover scuba diving and snorkeling
Contemplating the seabed of Los Gigantes is another great attractions. Many people take the opportunity to go scuba diving and snorkeling. If you are interested in diving while in Los Gigantes, check out this website for more information.

9. Hiking in Los Gigantes is another great activity
There are many wonderful hiking routes around Los Gigantes.

This three-hour walk will also give you a good overview of the amazing cliffs of Los Gigantes.

Hiking route from Puerto de Santiago
From Puerto de Santiago, there is a very difficult path that goes in the direction of Los Gigantes along the cliffs. This is a route for more experienced hikers, as the path narrows in certain areas, especially around Barranco Seco. The trip takes seven hours.

10. Carnival of Los Gigantes
Any time is a good time to visit the cliffs of Los Gigantes. However, it is an added advantage to do it during the famous Carnival. For four days (a week after Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz’ celebrations), the town of Los Gigantes dresses up to party for Carnival. Usually it happens during the month of February.

The cliffs of Los Gigantes are certainly one of the most spectacular landscapes in Tenerife. Los Gigantes rises majestically from the sea in the form of vertical rock walls which, in some places, reach 600 meters in height. Just stunning!

10 Things To Do in Los Gigantes, Tenerife

Finally, I get to present the village where I was living for the past 3 months! It’s very tiny, but perfect for such a short stay. Puerto Santiago is located in “Los Gigantes” area in Southwestern Tenerife.

For it is one of the most beautiful areas of Tenerife as you get the best the island has to offer: spectacular vistas, a unique natural setting, a warm climate, fabulous beaches, great hikes but (almost) no party scene.

This “local’s” guide will share with you the best things to do in Los Gigantes, Tenerife.

Far away from the touristic mass center Costa Adeje, it attracts nature lovers and those who favor quiet tourism in Tenerife.

The zone has its hotels and clubs, but in far smaller dimensions than the party area known as “Las Américas”. It also lacks huge aqua parks or shopping malls…

Therefore the charm and all the attraction of this remote region lies in its spectacular nature: the GIANT cliffs and beautiful beaches of “Los Gigantes“!

Book here the best holiday rentals in Los Gigantes

Sunset in Puerto Santiago

The Canyons and cliffs of Los Gigantes deserve their ostentatious name: at some points, they reach 600m and they are among the highest cliffs of the European continent!

They are the perfect place for enthusiasts of water sports, whale watching, and hiking – in fact, you’ll find some of the best hikes in Tenerife here!

A broad range of choices for such a tiny region!

The Masca Canyon and Punta de Teno are for me its most precious jewels. You can read here the post about Masca Trekking.

Be aware that the weather in Los Gigantes can be often a bit fresher and a bit more windy than in Costa Adeje.

The other hidden gem of Los Gigantes region is Punta de Teno. The route between Buenavista del Norte and Teno is nothing for people with a fear of heights! Despite a panel dissuading people to use the dangerous road, only a few keep away.

The brave ones will be rewarded with tremendous views to La Gomera island and Los Gigantes cliffs. The sunset is spectacular and Punta de Teno is surely one of my favorite places on Tenerife.

Guíos Beach at Los Gigantes

After so much activity, you’ll want to try the delicious Canarian food with its papas arrugadas (“wrinkled potatoes”), seafood and typical wines!

I recommend Los Corales in Puerto Santiago with its balcony viewing La Gomera, low prices and tasty food. La Pérgola is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or for those who look for more sophisticated cuisine. Nightlife in Los Gigantes is rather quiet.

Whereas during the year bars in Playa Arena get crowdy mostly during weekends, Puerto Santiago shows its party spirit during the local Carmen festivities.

For all those who are looking for a time-out from party life at Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes is the perfect place to energize! And Masca should be a mandatory stop for every Tenerife visitor!

Los Gigantes is also the perfect place if you want to spend a relaxing stay in one of the best all-inclusive, adults-only hotels in Tenerife.

Are you wondering what are the best areas to stay in Tenerife with kids? In my opinion, Los Gigantes has got it all to be the perfect place to stay in Tenerife with families.

Wh? It’s a very quiet place, with a great local vibe, the beaches are not crowded and currents or waves are not strong. Whereas Costa Adeje is notoriously famous for its party scene, Los Gigantes and the Puerto Santiago village is just perfect for those who want to spend a quiet Tenerife holiday.

On top, the area boasts some of the best family hotels in Tenerife. Many of them come with their own entertainment team offering animation in several languages.

Another benefit is that you’ll be very close to the marina of Los Gigantes which is the departure point for most whale-watching tours in Tenerife. – Check rates here

Approaching Punta de Teno

The region’s tourist centers, Puerto Santiago and Los Gigantes, stand out for their beaches and tranquility. Los Guíos Beach is right next to the Gigantes cliffs and has some hippies shops (I loved Nautilo’s!)

Another beach that I like a lot, is Playa Chica. It is very tiny but it has a nice familiar atmosphere. Both have black sand.

Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Playa Arena in Tenerife, Canary Islands

Loading

Los Gigantes is located on the south west coast of Tenerife and is only a short distance from another two holiday resorts Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. Situated in the municipality of Santiago del Teide, Los Gigantes can be found just south of the famous “Acantilados de Los Gigantes” , and about 30 kilometres from Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos. It is generally acknowledged that the year-round climate in this region is among the best in the World.

Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena are small quiet villages . However there are still many places that have live music tribute acts etc. Whatever your tastes, you can be sure that you´ll find something to suit your needs.

The village of Los Gigantes is situated at the foot of the 500 metre high cliffs which gives it its name. The cliffs also mark the southern boundary of the beautiful Teno mountains. The cliffs are visible in all their glory from the Archipenque Mirador viewing point, just above the village. They can be experienced from the sea up close, where they loom over you, and you are able to distinguish the different colours and textures of the volcanic rock.

Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is a very pretty resort. Great care has been taken over its design and construction. With the exception of one multi-storey hotel, all of the resort´s central apartment complexes and residential areas are low-rise and blend in well with the surroundings. It is a small, tranquil place and has an air of exclusivity about it. There is not much danger of the resort losing this atmosphere and ambience by expansion in any direction, closed in as it is, on all sides, nestling between the area´s natural rocky confines and the Atlantic Ocean.

Life revolves around the Marina, The Plaza and the Avenida Maritima main street .The roads in Los Gigantes are very narrow; with a one-way system operating throughout most of the village. For an aerobics workout try walking up “Cardiac Hill”. Los Guios is a small, clean, black sand beach which is rarely crowded, despite being suitable for children. Parking around the beach/marina area can however be a problem.

Next to the public beach is the marina, where you will can find an array of bars and restaurants overlooking the boats and the neighboring island of La Gomera. Here you can book scuba diving, or a trip to see bottle nosed dolphins and whales, fishing trips, jet ski, a kayak trip, rent a boat and sailing. The boats that pick hikers up from Masca Bay, after the walk down the barranco, depart from here as well. The Plaza is pedestrianised and based around the church. The majority of events such as the carnival de Los Gigantes (the week after Ash Wednesday) take place there. There is also a small tourist information kiosk on the roundabout heading down the hill towards the marina. There are several pool complexes El Laguillo, with large bathing area, snack bar and natural pool. Oasis club has a pool with water slides, lawns and bar/restaurant. There is also a walk down to the rocks and sea. Crab Island has a natural pool filled regularly by the sea waves. Tipsy Terrace has a swimming pool, lawns, tennis courts, mini golf course a restaurant and a bar.

Puerto de Santiago

Directly south of Los Gigantes is the old fishing village of Puerto Santiago, which despite extensive development, still retains an unhurried, homely atmosphere. Puerto de Santiago lies between Playa de la Arena and Los Gigantes. It is on the coastal road, which links the villages.

It has a small fishing port and beach. There are top, middle and bottom parts to the town, making the area rather sprawling. It is a mixture of homes, hotels and apartments. As you would expect from a tourist resort, there is an assortment or bars, shops, restaurants, a post office, and nightlife. As there are a large number of local residents in the area you´ll find some excellent Canarian food available in the traditional restaurants and tapas bars. The medical centre is next to the small plaza .The annual firework display during the fiesta in July is always spectacular.

Playa de la Arena

Further south, and almost joined on to Puerto Santiago, is the growing resort of Playa de la Arena. (Sandy Beach). Unimaginatively named, it does boast the best beach in the region. It has been awarded the European blue flag of excellence for many years in succession. Although small, it can confidently stand comparison with any other beach of similar size on the island. This is especially true when you consider that while many of Tenerife´s popular beaches are man-made using imported sand, from the Sahara desert, the beach here is natural. Its black sand is a constant reminder of the island´s powerful volcanic origins.

The beach is situated centrally along the main coastal thoroughfare, the Avenida Maritima, which has relatively easy free parking. If you get hungry or develop a thirst you will find yourself spoilt for choice by the many bars, restaurants and shops adjacent to and opposite the beach.

For a relatively small resort, Playa de la Arena boasts a large selection of bars and restaurants, although ´nightlife´ in the sense of clubs and discos, while it undoubtedly exists, is on a much smaller scale than the larger resorts in the south.

The Tourist Information office here has staff who speak English. They are very helpful and can give you on-the-spot information, plus there is always a multitude of leaflets and pamphlets freely available, which will give you, further facts and figures about the region. Santiago del Teide council office is next to the tourist office. Don´t forget that being a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife is sometimes subject to rough seas, especially during the winter. Occasionally when weather conditions prohibit bathing, a red flag is flown on the beach. Please don´t ignore it!

Los Gigantes – rocks, beach and picturesque resort in Tenerife

Los Gigantes (Tenerife) – a picturesque village on the Atlantic coast. The hallmark of the resort is impregnable gray rocks, which not only give the area a special charm, but also protect the town from bad weather.

General information

Los Gigantes is a holiday village in Tenerife (Canary Islands). Located in the western part of the island, 40 km from the city of Arona and 80 km from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The area is known for its beautiful nature and comfortable climate.

Los Gigantes is popular with tourists because the northern part of the resort is protected from winds and cold currents by high cliffs of volcanic origin, so that in this part of the Canary Islands the temperature is always several degrees higher than in neighboring resorts. You can relax here even at the end of October – the water temperature is so comfortable.

It is not difficult to guess that the name Los Gigantes is translated from Spanish as “Giant”.

Village of Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is a small village on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, where married couples or pensioners (mainly from England and Germany) prefer to relax. There are no huge shopping centers and noisy nightlife here. Dozens of luxury hotels are also missing – everything is rather modest, but tasteful.

There are few inhabitants in the village – only about 3000 people, and most of them are engaged in fishing or farming. Some families have their own business – a cafe or a small grocery store.

Since Los Gigantes is located 500-800 meters above sea level, the village was built uphill – the newest houses are at the top, and the older ones are at the bottom. It is not possible to determine the exact area of the town.

Speaking about the sights of the resort, it is worth noting the seaport – of course, there are no huge liners here, but there are many beautiful snow-white yachts and sailboats. You can rent one of them and take a walk on the ocean.

Los Gigantes Rocks

The visiting card of Los Gigantes is volcanic rocks. They are visible from any part of the city, and protect the settlement from strong winds and cold currents. Their height is from 300 to 600 meters.

As always, a beautiful legend is associated with impregnable rocks. Locals say that pirates hid treasures in numerous gorges – gold, ruby and pearls. They never took some of the jewels, and today anyone can find them. Alas, this cannot be verified – the rocks are very steep, and climbing high is simply life-threatening.

Walk on the rocks

However, it is still possible to visit some parts of the rocks. It is better to start the journey from the high mountain village of Masca, which can be reached along the TF-436 highway (the distance from Los Gigantes is only 3 km).

Officially, you can descend only one route, the safety of which has been confirmed. The length of the gorge, which is allowed to go down, is 9 km, so only physically fit people should go on such a trip. The passage of the distance will take from 4 to 6 hours. Unfortunately, shorter routes have not yet been developed.

During a walk along the cliffs of Los Gigantes, you will not only see breathtaking views of the surroundings, but also meet the winged inhabitants of these places – eagles, gulls, Bol pigeons and other birds. Also pay attention to the plants – a lot of herbs and shrubs grow here. But there are no flowers at all – after all, the proximity of the Atlantic makes itself felt.

According to tourists, the route itself is not difficult, but because of its length, it becomes difficult to control your body in the end, and you have to be extremely careful. This is especially true for the last kilometer of the distance – the road ends, and you need to go along the boulders, which are very slippery after the rain. It is also worth being careful when descending the rope ladder at the very end of the journey.

Some useful tips from tourists:

If you are not confident in your abilities, but want to go on a trip, take a professional guide or a local resident with you.

It is worth allocating a whole day to visit the rocks.

Be sure to take breaks of 5-10 minutes during the descent.

If you get lost and don’t know where to go, wait 10 minutes. There are a lot of tourists on the trail, and they will tell you where to go next.

Beach

There are 3 beaches in the village of Los Gigantes in Tenerife, and they have similar characteristics. The largest and most popular is Playa de la Arena.

Playa de la Arena

The sand on the beaches is of volcanic origin, so it has an unusual grayish-black hue. The texture is similar to flour. The entrance to the water is gentle, sometimes there are stones, and the shell rock is completely absent. The depth near the shore is shallow, so families with small children can relax on the beach.

The water in the Atlantic Ocean has a cool bluish-turquoise hue. High waves often rise, so swimming behind the buoys is not recommended. In the spring, especially in early April, the wind is very strong, so even though the water is already warm enough, you won’t be able to swim.

Playa de la Arena has sun loungers and umbrellas (rental price – 3 euros), showers and a large number of bars. Especially for tourists, locals offer to ride water rides.

Los Gigantes

The beach of the same name in the village of Los Gigantes is quite small, and there are not too many people here. It is located near the seaport, but this does not affect the purity of the water. The entry into the ocean is gentle, there are no stones and sharp cliffs.

Tourists call this beach the most atmospheric in Los Gigantes, because it is located at the foot of volcanic rocks.

Periodically, high waves rise, due to which the lifeguards hang out a yellow or red flag, and do not let people into the water. Also, the disadvantages of the beach is the almost complete lack of infrastructure.

Chica

Chica is the least crowded and calm beach on the coast. It is very small and, due to its good location, there are never waves here. Lifeguards are not on duty here, so you can swim here even in April, when there are high waves on neighboring beaches.

Black and fine sand, gently sloping entry into the water. Stones are often found. The depth of the ocean in this part is small, but children are not recommended to swim here – there are too many stone ledges.

There are problems with the infrastructure – there are no toilets, changing cabins and cafes. Only shower with cold water works.

Tourists also note that on Chica beach:

you can always meet crabs, cuttlefish and other marine life;

sometimes smells strongly of fish;

the sun appears only after 12 days;

, after heavy rains, erodes it, and the black sand disappears under a layer of pebbles.

Tourists recommend to buy an excursion “Inhabitants of the Atlantic”. Local travel agencies promise that during the boat trip you will see more than 30 species of fish and mammals, including dolphins and whales.

If you want to bring not only vivid impressions from Los Gigantes, but also interesting photos of Tenerife, take a couple of shots in the village of Masca (3 km from the village).

…Full list

Short list

Beach holidays are a dubious pleasure for me: for a couple of days I enjoy idleness on the beach, and after that I am drawn to seek adventure and visit unusual places. A trip to the cliffs of Los Gigantes in Tenerife diversified my lazy vacation perfectly.

The Spanish cliffs of Los Gigantes are not just a natural attraction, but also a popular resort that attracts tourists with unusual beaches with black volcanic sand and amazing views of the coast. But it should be borne in mind that these beaches are wild, the entrance to the sea is rocky in many places, so this is more of a sightseeing attraction than a great place to relax. To relax and enjoy sunbathing and swimming, it is best to stay in one of the hotels of the same name town of Los Gigantes. Almost all hotels here have wide terraces with sun loungers, swimming pools and beautiful panoramic views of the rocks and the sea.

If you want to enjoy the natural beauties and come to Los Gigantes in one day, I advise you not to limit yourself to the rocks – explore the surroundings: there are amazing hiking trails, and along the mountain road there are numerous observation platforms with amazing views.

How to get to Los Gigantes

The cliffs of Los Gigantes are located on the west coast of Tenerife, so that from all resort towns you can get here by car or bus along a picturesque road along the coast.

The way from the resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas will take only half an hour by car, you will need to move along the TF-47 highway. the distance is a little less than 30 km. Also, regular buses No. 473 and 477 go through these cities, the final stop of which is Los Gigantes. Buses leave approximately every half an hour, the cost of the trip is 4.65 euros. Travel time is about an hour.

From the north coast of Tenerife, getting to the rocks is also easy. If you go from the resort town of Puerto de la Cruz by car, you will have to cross almost a third of the island, the road will take just over an hour, you will need to move along the TF-5, TF-82 and TF-454 highways. Bus service is also established here – route number 325, travel time will be 1:40, the trip will cost 7.10 euros. You can see the bus routes in more detail and study discounts on tickets on the TITSA website – they carry out all bus transportation on the island.

We chose to travel by rental car, as it is the most convenient way to explore all corners of Tenerife – although it is an island, it is quite large. Moreover, having visited the Los Gigantes cliffs, I was convinced that it is wonderful to have your own car, as we were able to drive around several observation platforms and look at the rocks and the coast from different angles, and the views are exactly what you need to go to this part of the island.

The famous cliffs of Los Gigantes

The best way to admire the cliffs of Los Gigantes is from one of the many viewpoints. Some of them are located directly on the coast, but I would recommend that you visit the El Mirador Archipenque site, located at the entrance to the resort on the TF-454 highway.

A stunning view opens from here: the blue expanse of the sea, the roofs of houses with bright spots of blue pools, and there, in the distance, the famous rocky ridge of Los Gigantes. These protrusions attract the eye, it seemed to me that they have some kind of special magnetism.

It is on this observation deck that you fully realize why these rocks are called giants: they rise from the water like a powerful wall, creating a quiet shady bay. Peering into the distance, I make out five ledges, and it seems that they continue somewhere around the bend, lined up in an endless invincible ridge.

Some will say that there is nothing special about these rocks, but it is no coincidence that the ancient Indians who lived on the island called them the “hell wall”: the height and scale are amazing!

Beaches and resorts Los Gigantes

It is not surprising that such natural protection has made the surrounding bays an excellent place for a resort. Three tiny seaside towns are located here, which are most often considered the only resort of Los Gigantes. As far as I know, this part of the coast has very comfortable weather all year round: in summer it does not get hotter than +23–25 °C, and in winter temperatures usually do not fall below +18–20 °C. But the water is quite cool all year round – + 18-22 ° C, so swimming here is always refreshing. In addition, there is almost no rain in this place, so you can always just enjoy the sun.

The Los Gigantes area has several beaches with volcanic black-grey sand, for which many older people come here: it is considered healing. The largest beach – Playa de la Arena (Playa de la Arena) – is equipped with wooden paths, it has umbrellas and sunbeds for hire. There is a good entrance to the water, as the beach is located in a natural bay, and the waves are smaller here. But the views from here are not impressive either: the cliffs of Los Gigantes close the hotel buildings.

Much more exotic Playa de los Gigantes (Playa de los Gigantes): another stunning view of the rocks from here. You are standing almost at their foot, so you can fully realize how high they are. The largest rock reaches 600 meters, which is a colossal size. However, this beach is not equipped, and despite the sandy entrance to the sea, the waves here are constantly huge. You can swim, but I preferred to just sit on the sand for a while, admire Los Gigantes and feel the power of nature: giant rocks, strong gusts of sea wind and powerful waves that create such noise everywhere. This is an indescribable feeling and one of the few attractions that you must not only see, but feel in the truest sense of the word.

If you decide to stay here for a couple of days, you can easily find a hotel to your taste and budget, as this region has both giant coastal hotels with huge pools and small apart-hotels. Prices start from 70 euros per night in a double room, the average price tag is 100-115 euros per night. But it is better to book hotels in advance, as the demand from European tourists for accommodation in this area is very high.

Maska village and hiking trails

Los Gigantes is notable for its proximity to another popular tourist destination, the mountain village of Maska, famous for its views.

It is only 18 kilometers from the city of Los Gigantes, so you can easily get here by car or bus along a narrow mountain road. By car, follow the roads TF-454, TF-82 and TF-436, following the signs to the village. It is more difficult to get here by public transport, but you can take bus number 325 to the town of Santiago del Teide, and then transfer to bus number 355. The journey will take more than two hours, while by car you will reach your destination in just half an hour, it’s easier to use a taxi – it will cost about 25–30 euros.

The views from the car window amazed me, so several times we stopped to admire the amazing view: the glitter of the sea in the distance, a slight haze and mountains, mountains, mountains growing out of nowhere here and there. And between them a narrow strip of serpentine road winds and a few tiny cars rush along it. Wind, light and mountains are the three key components of the scenery on the way to Masca.

There are only a dozen houses in the village itself, but they are quite colorful – the settlement was isolated for a long time due to the lack of a motor road, so the buildings here have been preserved from the past centuries. Usually everyone is photographed with the local “gingerbread” house, although it reminded me more of the robbers’ hut from the cartoon about the Bremen town musicians. Such an association here, I tell you, is not surprising, because adventurers are attracted here by legends about pirates who hid countless treasures in a gorge nearby. After wandering around the village for a few minutes, feel free to go to explore the gorge and other natural beauties.

The 4.5 km long hiking trail is exactly what tourists come here for. Passing through the gorge and climbing among the rocks, you will gradually descend to Masca Beach, from where boats sail back to Los Gigantes several times a day. You can find out the details of the route, the time of departure of the boat and the prices for group excursions on the website of Hiking in the Mask.

Boat trips

If, like me, for example, you are not inclined to climbing mountain paths under the scorching sun, you can also admire Los Gigantes from the water side. Pleasure boats stop in the harbor of the port of Puerto de los Giganes next to the beach of the same name, so you can ride along the rocky coast in an hour or go on a full day sail with stops for swimming in different coves.

The beauty of a boat trip is that you can swim up to the very rocks and examine their surface – here and there a bright red or red rock breaks through, making the rocks that seemed from afar gray-black rocks colored. From the tops of the rocks, ancient cracks-crevices descend into the water, along which lava once flowed.

Another tourist attraction of boat trips in this region is the opportunity to see dolphins and even whales half an hour from the shore in the open sea. Of course, you will have to watch from quite a distance, but how nice it is to realize that these wonderful creatures are swimming next to you, and possibly under you!

By the way, if you decide to go on a boat trip, choose a smaller boat for 20-30 people. Of course, it will rock a little harder, but you will definitely have time to see dolphins and whales, look at the rocks in detail and do not miss anything interesting. According to the reviews of travelers, hundreds of people crowd into large ships, and especially themed pirate yachts, all at once rush to one side and it’s difficult to consider something, once in such a crowd.

***
Summing up, I will say that a trip to the Los Gigantes rocks is definitely worth it if you want to diversify your beach holiday. The coast of the island in this place is amazingly beautiful: black volcanic beaches, majestic cliffs and mountain roads – the views are breathtaking. “Only mountains can be better than mountains,” Vysotsky sang. Well, better than rocks – only giant rocks!

Rocks of Los Gigantes. Los Gigantes – the most exciting city in Tenerife

In the west of the island are the popular tourist resorts of Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago and La Arena. Three of the most popular beaches are also located here. The most attractive beach is called Playa de la Arena. It is famous not only among tourists, but also attracts a large number of locals who come here even from the most prosperous south in terms of the ocean and climate. It’s all about the unique, black sand that covers the beaches of La Arena. The black sandbox is the trademark of the western part of Tenerife.

Black sandbox against colorless beaches

Unlike the signature beach of La Arena, the other two do not deserve special attention, although we will dwell on each of them in detail. Just for the fact that they are also chosen by tourists living in hotels in the neighborhood. And not so long ago, in 2009, one of the beaches did not stand out at all for the better: a rock collapsed on its territory, and for some time it was closed to visitors. But now, when the collapse and its consequences have been eliminated, it is possible to swim again on Los Guyos beach.

Beaches of Los Gigantes on the map of Tenerife:

Beach 1: Playa de la Arena

Playa de la Arena is considered the best in the whole west and is located in a natural bay. The sand here is not just black, but the most black. Even when the sun’s rays do not scorch so much, you can only move barefoot on this sand at a very high speed. This beach is absolutely not suitable for small children: firstly, there are often big waves here, secondly, the depth begins already, literally, three meters from the shore, and thirdly, it is black, hot sand. The length of the La Arena beach is 160 meters, the width is 60 meters. A sun lounger will cost 3 euros, and washing off the sand and rinsing in the shower will cost 20 cents. However, how to use the toilet.

Beach 2: Playa Chica

The water at Chica Beach is dirty due to the proximity of the beach to the port of Santiago, an old fishing bay. Perhaps among you there are lovers of swimming in dirty water, maneuvering among fishing boats. Chico Beach is completely undeveloped and the only thing that can attract is the lack of crowds. And to be honest, it’s complete loneliness. Chico Beach is 65 meters long and 25 meters wide. They say that sometimes there is even a rental of sun loungers. But how much it costs is difficult to say, it may turn out that the price is completely negotiable.

Beach 3: Playa de los Guyos

The view on Los Guyos beach is wonderful, the shape is wonderful, and the water in this place is fresh milk. This beach is located in and probably the only one of its kind – a triangular beach. There is a very beautiful landscape around: Los Guyos beach itself is located at the foot of high mountains. The secret of warm water is in the same rocks. It is said that the Sun warms up the local rocks, which go under water by 30 meters, so much that they transfer heat to the surrounding ocean. Hence the unseen on the island – fresh, Atlantic milk. But this is only a legend from local residents, no one checked with a thermometer. Los Guyos beach is 30 meters wide and 80 meters long. Sunbed rental – 3 euros.

If suddenly you don’t like these Los Gigantes beaches, then look for another one, because Tenerife is not a big island at all!

Las Americas is the most popular holiday area on the island. This is where almost all tourists come. There is everything here for everyone. You will not notice the boundaries of these three resorts. One gradually develops into another.

Los Cristianos

Los Cristianos is a quiet area with an equally quiet coastline. Here is one of the 2 ports from where passenger-and-freight ferries depart to neighboring islands. The second one is in .

You can also rent a car or drop it off at the port. centers, and turtles and much more. There are a number of roller shutters along the embankment where you can buy all this.

By the way, not far from the port there is a small kiosk where they sell fresh fish from morning to 12-00. If you live in an apartment, then you can cook on a grill over a fire.

Los Cristianos rests on the mountain – Montaña de Guas. If you go around the mountain, you can get to a wonderful place where in the evening on the mountain overlooking Las Americas you can make barbecue and drink local wine.

Los Cristianos is essentially a residential area – there are few hotels, and tourists live here in apartments. It is cheaper to rent accommodation here, but you will go to the beach in Las Americas, and this is not a short distance.

Right behind the Los Cristianos beach, Las Americas begins – traffic from morning to morning, many restaurants, clubs. Sometimes it seems that even the sun shines brighter here).
And behind it immediately begins the Costa Adeja.

Costa Adeja

Quiet place, more suitable for families. After 22-00 almost dead. So if you are used to a more party rhythm, you should settle in Las Americas. If you come with your family or just want a relaxing holiday, then you are welcome)

This is where one of the famous beaches of Playadel Duque and the hotel Bahia del Duque are located. This is one of the most expensive hotels in Tenerife, but also one of the best hotels in Tenerife. One of the new shopping centers Plaza del Duc is also located here.

Nearby is the village of La Caleta where you can taste authentic Canarian cuisine, seafood and fresh fish.
Coincidentally, the only casino in the south island is located in this calm and quiet town of Costa Adeja at the h20 Gran Tenerife hotel. The hotel is very tall and can be seen from afar.

In the recreation area there are two huge entertainment centers and .

Puerto Columns is a small yacht port where you can rent a yacht, catamaran, buy whale watching or sea fishing.
The city has its own website costa-adeje.es

The border of Las Americas and Costa Adeja is considered to be a haunt of Veronicas. This place goes live after 9pm.

Lots of bars, clubs, everywhere open. They turn on loud music, barkers come out into the street and pester all the people passing by, luring everyone to their bar with free shots. Barkers are sitting on a percentage of alcohol sales, so they will spin you to buy expensive booze. But you must understand that they will not smell there.

Be prepared for a lot of blacks in this place. They will walk around hung with watches and glasses from aliexpress and annoyingly get into your eyes. If you refuse to buy junk, they will simply ask for money. Some of them will offer na * seals, but it’s better not to get involved in this. In general, it is likely that after evenings in Veronicas you will have a negative attitude towards blacks.

The notorious Papagayo club is also located here – very beautiful from the outside and full of divorces inside. If you are just going to be treated to cocktails, it is better to refuse. Firstly, they brought alcohol with them and let the familiar waiters simply pour it into a glass, and secondly, there may be a conflict and they will require you to pay for this cocktail. A particularly frequent guest is a short man with long gray hair, he is Algerian, he has his own hotel here. He’s kind of like a racket.
Well, who wants adventure – you are welcome)
In general, on such a cheerful note, Costa Adeja becomes Las Americas)

Las Americas

The weather in Las Americas is always warm without rain and wind, as in principle and along the entire southern coast of Tenerife. Therefore, in the evening and even at night you can hang out in shorts and a T-shirt)

There are countless bars and restaurants in Las Americas! There are Italian and Chinese, French, Japanese and international. However, the kitchen here will be put on stream and you won’t eat anything sensible, no matter how much money you pay. To eat a dish that is really tasty and fresh, and with the declared ingredients, you will have to travel outside Las Americas to Tahao or La Caleta, for example. And yes, it will cost less.

You can go dancing in the Casablanca bar. Real Spanish music plays there, local Spaniards dance salsa and it’s right on the promenade overlooking the ocean. If you are tired of loud music, you can go down to the beach and listen to the whisper of the ocean. Located in Casablanca with a number of other bars close to the beach and Las Americas.

Nearby nightlife is in full swing on Avenida de Las Americas or in the common “golden mile”. Here you can shop and have a delicious meal and just take a walk! Here is the concert hall “Pyramid of Arona” about which we have already written. And Hard Rock Café with delicious American cuisine, but not cheap either.

You can just buy a bottle of wine or beer in the store and go sit on the embankment, and the loud music of the bars will become the background … In general, there are locations for different tastes, you just need to decide what you want (now)?
We will gladly accept information about our topic and not about it too)

Spanish continental resorts are primarily known for their beach holidays, but recently the islands of the Canary archipelago deserve more and more attention in this regard, among which it is especially popular.

Its significant resorts – Puerto de la Cruz, Los Cristianos, Playa Paraiso and Ten Bel are becoming more and more attractive for Russian tourists who rushed to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

How Los Cristianos became world famous

Many tourists mistakenly believe that Los Cristianos is a quiet area of Playa de las Americas, Tenerife’s number one resort. Not at all. According to the administrative division, these are different resorts. The very name of the place is translated as “Christians”, thus the inhabitants emphasized that they adhere to the laws of God.

In the distant past, this fashionable resort was a small picturesque village with a tiny fishing port, a reminder of which are small colorful fishing boats. The resort is located 18 km from the southern airport, 87 km from the northern and 78 km from the capital of the island, Santa Cruz.

Los Cristianos was discovered for tourists by Swede Bengt Rylander in the 1960s, better known as “Don Benito”. Suffering from multiple sclerosis
, he moved to a village with clean air and a favorable climate in search of healing.

And a miracle happened: he managed to curb the disease. Thanks to a television commentator in the past, news of the miracle village reached northern Switzerland, and soon the ubiquitous Swedish citizens ceased to amaze the local population. The main artery of the city Avenida de Suecia and the Lutheran church on the waterfront are a reminder of the pioneering Swedes.

Beaches of the resort

There are two sandy beaches on the territory of the resort:

Playa de los Cristianos

The beach with gray-yellow sand is located in the port area, therefore it is not so popular among swimmers. Its length is 1 km, width is 40 m.

But at the same time, there are many opportunities for water sports, beach volleyball, as well as a playground for children and for all vacationers – showers with fresh water, toilets. Umbrellas and sun loungers are available for rent.

From the port you can go on a boat trip and watch the game of dolphins and even whales, go on fishing or cruises with groovy theme parties.

Las Vistas Beach

The large sandy beach is loved by both tourists and locals for clean water, which is confirmed by the eco-friendly label. It is 1 km long and 100 m wide. It also offers a wide range of water activities, showers, changing rooms, storage rooms and is protected from large waves by stone breakwaters. Right next to the beach there is a parking lot and a bus stop.

Along both beaches there is a promenade, which is originally made in the style of “Back to the seventies”. There is also a third black sand beach, located in the “Rincón” area, but it is rocky, due to its proximity to the cliffs of Mount Guas.

Los Cristianos Hotels

Los Cristianos can accommodate travelers of all budgets. There is a wide selection of half and full board hotels, accommodation-only apartments and expensive bungalows.

Among the hotels we can mention:

Las Madrigueras 5*

The new hotel resembles the country residence of the monarch. Not suitable for families with children as it is located directly on the golf course
and especially favored by golfers who will find a wide selection of golf equipment here. There are only 57 rooms in the building.

On-site facilities include 1 heated pool, 2 bars and 2 restaurants, gym, sauna and Turkish bath.

Located 5 minutes drive from the central part of the resort and 2 km from the ocean.

Arona Gran 4*

The hotel is in high demand among vacationers, as it has a number of advantages at low prices for accommodation.

Firstly, it is located on the ocean, at the foot of the extinct massive volcano Montaña de Guas, so the view from the rooms is simply breathtaking.

Secondly, it is a 10-minute leisurely walk from the equipped Playa de los Cristianos beach.

Thirdly, there are daytime and evening entertainment programs.
Its spacious hall is decorated with cascading plants, and in the open area there are 2 heated pools for adults and 1 for children.

From 4-star hotels you can choose from the following options:

Hotel Reveron Plaza

Family hotel just 100 m from Los Cristianos beach.

Paradise Park Resort & SPA

Spacious green areas, 5 swimming pools, 4 jacuzzis and a beautiful view of the bay and Mount Teide make this a business class hotel.

h20 Oasis Moreque 3*

Located on the ocean, just 250 m from the sandy beach of Playa de los Cristianos. The hotel has a swimming pool with a children’s section, a bar, board games and a tennis court.

TRYP Tenerife 3*

The hotel is located 200 meters from Playa de los Cristianos at the foot of the volcano and on its territory there are 2 shops, 3 bars, 2 swimming pools.

The hotel after the reconstruction, which was carried out in 1999, can offer 364 rooms.

Vacationers can visit the nearest municipal beach – Playa de Los Cristianos, where umbrellas are provided free of charge. Sun loungers are for a fee.

The budget hotel will surprise you with good entertainment programs:
free daytime and evening animation programs, a children’s themed playground – “the Flintstone family”, where kids can have fun in the company of their favorite characters from the cartoon of the same name, etc.

Los Cristianos guarantees a wonderful holiday for tourists of all ages categories that, having enjoyed , elegant and , will make a wonderful discovery for themselves and will not be disappointed

How to get to Los Gigantes

If you are looking for a quiet resort away from the tourist bustle, but at the same time you want it to be located on the west coast of Tenerife (the warmest and, as a result, the most popular with travelers), then Los Gigantes in this respect is the best choice. The resort is located a little further from the tourist triangle of Costa Adeje – Los Cristianos – Playa de las Americas, where the majority of tourists staying in Tenerife on charter flights prefer to relax.

It is much calmer and more comfortable here, there is no city fuss and high-rise hotels. Tourists come to Los Gigantes to retire and admire the natural beauties, because only here, in Los Gigantes, there are giant rock cliffs that go straight into the ocean waters and are washed by endless waves.

By bus: Since Los Gigantes is located in the very West of the island, away from the tourist centers, you can get here by public transport only with a change in one of these very tourist centers. So, from Tenerife South Airport, where the bulk of flights from abroad arrive, buses No. 111 of Titsa depart. This route passes through the resorts of Costa Adeje – Los Cristianos – Playa de las Americas, where you need to transfer to Los Gigantes. In particular, it is worth focusing on regular buses No. 473 and 477 (Los Cristianos – Los Gigantes route). Check the current schedule at carrier company website .

By taxi: Alternatively, you can use a taxi or transfer service, this will avoid transfers. The method is all the more relevant if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. You can order a taxi transfer from Yuzhny Airport to the Los Gigantes resort in advance on specialized services for booking transfer services, such as Kiwitaxi, Intui.Travel and others, in which case a car with a driver will be waiting for you by the time of arrival. Travel time will be about 50 minutes.

By rented car: It is worth noting that there are not many bus routes from Los Gigantes to other parts of Tenerife, so if you plan to travel actively, it is better to rent a car. You can find many rental points right at the airport of arrival, because. car rental in Tenerife is a very common option. By renting a car at the airport, you can solve problems simultaneously with the transfer to the hotel, and with further movement. South Airport and the resort of Los Gigantes are connected by highway No. TF-1, the distance is 43 km, the approximate travel time is 35-40 minutes. More about car rental in Tenerife—> .

Los Gigantes hotels

Los Gigantes, as a resort, has three resort areas – Los Gigantes itself, as well as the settlements of Puerto de Santiago combined with it and Playa de la Arena. You can search for housing in all three resort areas. The search recommendation will be general: it is worth booking accommodation as early as possible, because. There are a limited number of accommodations here, and there are always more people who want to relax on Los Gigantes than there are available places.

The infrastructure of the resort is quite well developed, but the predominant type of housing here is not hotels (although they also exist), but apartments.

Attractions of Los Gigantes

The main attraction of Los Gigantes is the huge rocky cliffs going straight into the ocean, it is thanks to them that the resort got its sonorous name. The cliffs are visible from almost anywhere in the city, but the views are especially mesmerizing from the local beach, located right next to the rocks.

By the way, about beaches , in Los Gigantes they consist of dark gray, almost black volcanic sand, there are no such unusual beaches anywhere outside of Tenerife (and even on other islands of the Canary archipelago, the shade of sand is significantly different). You can swim closer to the rocks with the help of one of the many boat trips organized by local organizers.

Los Gigantes does not have a lot of entertainment, with the exception, perhaps, only restaurants of local authentic cuisine, which cannot be found in any other resort in Tenerife. For other entertainment, you should go to other parts of the island. So, Teide Volcano National Park , Guimar Pyramids , Hell Gorge Canyon , Botanical Garden Puerto de la Cruz . For sure, it will be interesting to visit the Natural Park Las Aguilas and Loro Parque with its many performances and shows.

Emilian Robert Vicol/Los Gigantes

You can also have fun in the local water parks located on Costa Adeje and Las Americas. These, in particular, include water parks “Siam” and “Aqualand” , equipped with ultra-modern extreme slides, rides, an area for children’s entertainment, a relaxation area and much more.

If you want to have time to visit other islands of the archipelago during your vacation, then go to the port of Los Cristianos, from where ferries leave for the neighboring islands of La Gomera, La Palma and Gran Canaria. It is realistic to make a trip back and forth in one light day and at the same time have time to see the main interesting places.

The main attractions of the island of La Gomera are the Garajonay National Park, the Agando Mountains, the Mahona Nature Reserve; the must-see of La Palma include the Tenegia volcano and the Palmitos bird sanctuary; in Gran Canaria, a visit to the Botanical Garden of Viera and Clavijo, the Bandama Caldera, and the Maspalomas Dunes National Park will add to the collection of impressions.

Restaurants

The west coast of the most popular of the Canaries, Tenerife, is somewhat different from its southern and northern coasts. You will not see here comfortable sandy beaches stretching for kilometers along the sea – only rocky cliffs. However, it is the rocks that attract tourists here. And the most attractive town of this part of the island is Los Gigantes.

The highest cliffs in all of Spain are located here. At their eastern foot, about thirty kilometers from Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, there is a small resort town, the name of which was given by the same rock – “Rock of the Giants” (this is how the name Los Gigantes is translated from Spanish).

The beaches in Log Gigantes are quite peculiar – the unexpectedly black color of the sand attracts the eye … and at the same time thousands of tourists. By the way – it is believed that this sand of volcanic origin has healing properties.

It’s pretty nice here, and it’s always not crowded in a provincial way. Nevertheless, you will find in the city all the necessary infrastructure for recreation and living – this is a wide variety of restaurants and shops, and hotels. Most of the hotels are low-rise, only one unexpectedly stands out from their orderly row. More precisely, it can generally be called the only hotel in this resort, the rest are apartments that seem to “climb” up the hill. This city has the largest port in this part of the island – both pleasure and light fishing boats, both yachts and catamarans that offer tourists boat trips, stop here. And along the promenade, along which most of the restaurants lined up, it’s nice to just stroll, admiring the blue of the ocean and the beauty of the mountains.

Los Gigantes does not have its own historical or architectural sights – but the unique natural monuments impress with their beauty and scale. In addition to the beaches in the vicinity of the resort, of course, the same “Rock of the Giants” stands out. This rocky massif stretches along the sea for 10 kilometers and really resembles the backs of giants who lay down by the ocean, as if supporting the Teide volcano (the mountains are the western slope of the volcano). You can see these impressive curves from anywhere in the town. However, to appreciate the true scale of the cliffs, you can look at them from the ocean. Sea excursions, which are offered in abundance at the local port, will help to do this. You can also see another local attraction – this is the Mask Gorge, which is located about three kilometers from the resort. Many of those who have been there call it the number one attraction in Tenerife. The road leading there is especially impressive – climbing the mountain serpentine, you just expect that pirates are waiting for you around the next turn, who not so long ago were hiding in the gorge and attacking merchant ships. By the way, one of the local legends says that sea robbers hid their treasures in numerous grottoes and caves. Well – maybe so. Or maybe this is just an invention of the locals, who thus attract tourists here.

The peace and tranquility that distinguishes Los Gigantes was appreciated by tourists from the UK, Germany and other countries: mainly a respectable European audience comes here – you can even call it, to put it mildly, an expensive resort. Young people are unlikely to like it here – except perhaps only for those who do not like to have fun until the fall and “light up” until the morning, because there is simply no such kind of entertainment here. Probably the only event that is celebrated quite noisily is the annual carnival, which takes place in the city in February. However, the local club has a swimming pool, water slides, a mini-golf course, a tennis court. If you wish, you can go on ocean fishing.

If you want to visit a resort where you get a feeling of some kind of solitude from the whole world, where life is concentrated mainly around the harbor with a promenade, and where you get the impression that you are in an extraordinary place – you are in Los Gigantes.

Los Gigantes – the most breathtaking city in Tenerife

The city of Los Gigantes, with its measured atmosphere and giant rocks, made the biggest impression on us during our trip to Tenerife. We will be happy to show you this city so that you can feel its atmosphere with us.

Los Gigantes is located 125 km west of the island’s capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and 45 km from Tenerife South International Airport. The village of Los Gigantes itself is not so big – it has several central streets, a black sand beach and a sea “pool” created by nature. Not far from Los Gigantes are popular tourist destinations such as Playa de la Arena and Puerto Santiago.

The Los Gigantes cliffs are a must-see on the west coast of Tenerife. The Los Gigantes cliffs themselves are basalt volcanic rock with sheer cliffs from 300 to 600 meters high. The rocks look very powerful and impregnable, they are often compared with the cliff of Cabo Girão on the Portuguese island of Madeira.

It is interesting that during the time of the ancient inhabitants of the island – the Guanches – the rocks were known as the “Wall of Hell” or “Wall of the Devil”. Hidden black sand beaches hide in secluded bays along the cliffs. Beach in the resort of Los Gigantes with black sand at the very foot of the rocks – Playa de los Guíos (Playa de los Guíos) . It is pleasant to lie on the fine sand, there are few people on the beach, you can rent an umbrella and a deck chair. From the entertainment on the beach are jet skis, boats and kayaks, where you can go to the rocks.

Los Gigantes, like many other villages in Tenerife, was built uphill – so there are a lot of elevation changes, and you have to constantly climb up. Of the large supermarkets, there is the German Lidl and the Spanish store Mercadona. The town has an incredibly measured atmosphere, and mostly English pensioners rest in it. Local residents are engaged in fishing and work in the tourism sector.

What to do in Los Gigantes?

The cliffs of Los Gigantes attract divers from all over the world, as well as lovers of snorkeling and boat trips. Among tourists, excursions on the ocean with whale and dolphin watching in the vicinity of Los Gigantes cliffs are popular. Imagine: here you can watch 27 species of cetaceans. The cost of the tour is about 20 Euro. Los Gigantes has its own marina, from where you can go on a boat trip. Los Gigantes also attracts tourists with a carnival that takes place here in February every year.

3 km from the village of Los Gigantes is one of the most worth visiting attractions in Tenerife – the mountain village of Masca . You can get to Maska by taxi (10 minutes on the way, fare – 10-15 Euros one way) or by boat (20 minutes on the way, ticket price – from 10 Euros one way). In Mask, tourists go trekking and enjoy the mountain scenery, so to visit these places you need to take good non-slip sneakers, and you can kill yourself in the shales.

The village has many small shops and restaurants, especially in the area around the church and the main square. In the restaurant you can have a bite to eat or drink sangria (1 liter – 6 Euro). We did not want to eat, so we drank a liter of sangria and continued to explore the surroundings.

Where to stay in Los Gigantes?

The most popular hotel in Los Gigantes, Stil Los Gigantes Adults Only Hotel (adults only), offers incredible views of the cliffs from its rooms. Accommodation in a double room will cost you 141 Euro per night. The resort is dominated by small apartments and family pensions – buildings of 2-3 floors, no more. There are many apartments in this location listed on the Airbnb website – search for “City” in the “City” box: Acantilados de los Gigantes.

For those who like bustling resorts with plenty of entertainment, Los Gigantes is definitely not the right place. However, everyone should definitely go here for at least a couple of hours.

How to get to Los Gigantes?

Los Gigantes can be reached by rental car or bus. The trip from Costa Adeje to Los Gigantes will take about 40 minutes – although the distance between these towns is small, but the bus makes many stops and goes in loops. The cost of a bus ticket is 4 Euro one way.

Events in June

For some people, the weather in June in Gran Canaria might be just perfect for a summer holiday. It’s getting hot, the water is warm and pleasant for swimming and the breeze is nice during those hot afternoons. But for some other people, the summer months might be just too warm to feel comfortable while in the sun (we are among those people, which is why we usually prefer to come either in autumn or winter).

Weather in Gran Canaria in June

THE NUMBERS MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE (temperatures, sunshine hours, sea water temperature etc.) ARE FROM GRAN CANARIA AIRPORT WEATHER STATION

The temperatures during the day in June are between 23°C and 29°C, with a high UV index, which is why it is important to use high SPF sun lotion and reapply it frequently.

Like we previously said, the temperature often reaches around 28 – 29°C, which may be too hot for some people. But the trade winds play an important role in the climate of Gran Canaria and the weather in the Canary Islands in general. Because of the trade winds, the summer temperatures will not feel as hot as you might think, because the winds are more prevalent in between June, July, and August. This is also the reason why winters are never cold in the Canaries, because the trade winds aren’t as strong as during the summer.

Another great thing about the weather in June in Gran Canaria is that it hardly ever rains and this is also true for July and August as well.

One of the downsides of visiting Gran Canaria in June is that the prices tend to go up, once the school holiday begins. In fact, although the Canary Islands are a year-round destination, they are still very popular during summer, and flights and holiday packages are more expensive than ever (similar only to Christmas and New Year’s Eve).

Weather and Climate in Gran Canaria

When planning a vacation and choosing locations, remember that one of the major considerations for your destination is the weather and climate available. Ideally, the weather and climate will be pleasant, with plenty of sun, a clear sky, and a comfortable temperature.

If you’re planning to visit Gran Canaria or the Canary Islands, you can enjoy a subtropical climate and tour the famous beaches while enjoying an average temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a fresh breeze off the Atlantic Ocean.

This article will explore the details of the climate and weather in Gran Canaria and the best times to plan your vacation.

Gran Canaria climate

The island of Gran Canaria lies in a climate zone known as the oceanic subtropic. This results in very mild winters and a clear sky on most days. Trade winds keep the air cool even in the hottest months, and it’s not uncommon to experience a fresh breeze and plenty of sunshine year round.

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – the island’s capital city – you can explore coral reefs and tourist locations while enjoying a light wind and a moderate temperature that’s kept low by humidity trade winds.

What Kind Of Temperature Does Gran Canaria Usually Have?

The temperature in Gran Canaria is generally between 60 degrees and 81 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.

In winter, the temperature is typically in the mid to low sixties. In summer, it tends toward the high seventies or low eighties.

How Are ‘Warm’ and ‘Cold’ Seasons Determined?

The ‘Warm’ season generally runs from the first week of July to the second week of October, when the average temperature is in the high seventies or low eighties.

The ‘Cold’ season generally runs from the middle of December to the first week of April, when the temperature averages below 70 degrees.

What Can I Expect of Winter Weather In Gran Canaria?

In winter, the island is known to have a comfortable average temperature in the sixties and seventies, with very little rainfall.

It’s also known to have strong winds, and a moderate breeze accompanies most days.

The winter months have plenty of sunshine and very little precipitation, making it good weather for those who like it cooler.

From September to May, you can also expect it to be partly cloudy on most days, in part due to the low-pressure weather fronts that form and drive clouds and fog banks up over the northern sides of the Canary Islands.

What Can I Expect of Summer Weather In Gran Canaria?

Summer is known for the higher temperature – high seventies to low eighties – and higher levels of precipitation.

There’s more rain in the summer months. If you want to visit in summer, plan for the weather with more rainfall and a higher overall temperature around the island, and pack accordingly.

Summer has clearer days, but you should still expect it to be partly cloudy, with a chance of rain. However, Gran Canaria is known for small amounts of rainfall rather than storms, and averages about 4/100ths of an inch in precipitation, even on a ‘wet’ day forecast.

What Factors Influence The Climate In Gran Canaria?

The climate and Gran Canaria weather are influenced by a combination of trade winds and a cold current that flows offshore and makes the water much more relaxed.

The different winds that blow from north to south and vice versa create a series of low pressure and high pressure that can create higher winds and bring both rain and bright sunshine.

Different topological areas can also influence the apparent temperature, wind speed, and humidity. Conditions can also vary by location, with southern areas often being sunnier than northern and northeast regions.

What is Gran Canaria Weather Like In General?

Overall, Gran Canaria weather, as well as the weather of most of the Canary Islands, is relatively stable with a moderate breeze. However, it does vary from month to month, and it’s good to know the potential variations when planning a trip.

Different months have been known for their differences in average temperatures, wind speed, precipitation, average conditions, and the amount of available sunshine.

The weather can also vary by location and even from hour to hour. The temperature at Gran Canaria Airport at sunrise might be very different from the weather at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the afternoon.

Between the various environmental factors and the seasonal and monthly changes, it can get a little complicated, but the basics are as follows:

Weather in July

The temperature rises to between 69 and 80 degrees on average.

Cloud cover is at its lowest for the year, with a clear or mostly clear sky expected 97-98% of the time during the month.

Sunrise continues to come later, and the sunrise at the end of the month is ~7:40 am

Sunrise continues to come later, occurring shortly before 8 am by the end of the month.

Wind speed drops to previous speeds of about 12-13 miles per hour, providing a fresh breeze.

The weather continues a steady progression toward the conditions of January. However, mid-November will have the least likelihood of giving you a clear sky, as it is known to be the most overcast month of the year-round cycle. Daylight Savings Time will also alter your sunrise time.

What is the Best time to visit Gran Canaria?

The best time to visit Gran Canaria depends on several factors. For Example:

Do you want to experience more of a beach holiday or more of a tourist’s holiday?

Do you prefer the cooler temperatures or, the warmer ones?

Is rain or clear sky a factor in your previous searches?

Are you more likely to be up and about to see a spectacular sunrise or more interested in the nightlife opportunities?

Are you looking for good year-round options or a specific season and conditions?

How much has Gran Canaria come up in your recent searches for ideal vacation locations at your preferred time?

Are you looking for off-season or popular travel times?

What Are Some Common Popular Times to Visit Gran Canaria?

According to official travel sites, the question is largely determined by one of two travel scores: Beach Holiday or Tourist Holiday.

What Is The Recommended Time For a Beach Holiday?

For Beach Holidays, the most popular period is between Late June and Late September, with the peak traffic occurring in August.

What is The Recommended Time For A Tourist Holiday?

For Tourist Holidays, the preference seems to be between early May and early September, peaking in June.

When Should I Go If I’m Not Fond of Crowds?

If you’re looking for off-season prices and off-season crowding, your best bet is to choose a time between early October and late April.

You’ll encounter Winter weather, which is also ideal if you like a cooler temperature and slightly less risk of rainfall ruining your plans. The downside is that the cooler weather means if you’re considering going to the ocean, you may find the water a little cold for swimming.

When Should I Go If I’m Looking for Fantastic Photo Opportunities?

Getting a fantastic photo opportunity like an oceanside sunrise is a delicate balance between timing your alarm clock and watching your weather. Considerations include:

What time are you willing to get up for a sunrise?

If you’re not an early riser, you’ll want the winter months to capture the sunrise, but you’ll risk less chance of a clear sky to photograph a crisp shot.

Early sunrise in summer gives you the best chance for sharp colors.

Do you want the wind to add a little background dynamic to your shots?

Dynamic wind can be provided at any time, so not a problem, but you might want to avoid the month of July, as the windy play of flora and waves might blur your shot.

The Winter months will give you a gentle breeze rather than the sunny, strong summer winds.

Are you looking for a clear sky or a bit of precipitation to tell your story?

A clear sky without clouds is more likely in summer or fall, while a bit of cloudy background is something you’ll have a chance of getting any month but June or July.

Precipitation is tricky any time, but your best bet is January

Final Thoughts

The weather in Gran Carina will usually provide a gentle breeze and humidity with minimal precipitation and a chance to view an amazing sunrise from just about anywhere on the island.

If you want to know if it’s dry or wet, offering strong winds or precipitation on a given day and location, you’ll want to check BBC weather or a local information source.

And if it’s a clear sky and a precipitation-free sunrise you’re looking for, you might want to consider the benefits of the off-season and winter weather.

Weather in Gran Canaria now

Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canary archipelago and a popular resort destination among European tourists. The climate of the island is suitable for a visit even in winter, because it is never too cold here, but it is even less often very hot.

Gran Canaria can hardly be called a heavenly exotic island lost in the middle of the ocean. There is no incredible amount of ancient or unique sights here either. It is easier to say that the Spaniards were able to use the natural resources given to them to the maximum, and now Gran Canaria is a well-known, well-maintained resort that attracts thousands of tourists all year round.

The nature of Gran Canaria is amazing – perhaps the island can compete in this regard with Tenerife. The center of the island is covered with high picturesque mountains and hills, lush forests grow on the northern side, and the south of the island is represented by desert lands with cacti and sand dunes: a sort of piece of Sahara in the endless waters of the ocean.

Gran Canaria cannot be boring: in addition to a beach holiday, you can take walks in national parks, taste delicious national cuisine, wander through the cozy streets of the town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, relax in the midday heat in a cozy botanical park, have fun in the water park or the zoo, have fun in the Holiday World Maspalomas amusement park or just immerse yourself in the amazing atmosphere of quiet fishing villages.

The best way to explore all the sights of the island is to rent a car. The island is not so big – you can drive around it along the coast in about a couple of hours. However, the road along the western coast of Gran Canaria is a mountainous serpentine with very sharp turns, where you should be careful.

The nightlife on the island is excellent, and Maspalomas, a resort in the south of Gran Canaria, is especially fun. Bars and clubs of the island offer a pleasant stay for every taste and budget – there are jazz bars, and wine bars, and night discos, and even gay clubs.

Finally, a big plus of the island is that the prices here are quite reasonable – both for food in cafes and restaurants, and for accommodation and souvenirs.

Gran Canaria is one of the largest islands of the Canary archipelago, which is an autonomous part of the State of Spain. Its main wealth is the unique variety of natural landscapes. Thanks to various microclimatic zones, snow-capped peaks and the warm coast of the Atlantic Ocean, laurel forests and sand dunes perfectly coexist on it. Among the numerous resorts of the island, every tourist can find a suitable place for his ideal vacation. Maspalomas is the largest and most famous among them. Many hotels located in close proximity to the coast, various bars, restaurants and entertainment centers can satisfy the needs of the most sophisticated tourist. For a relaxing or romantic getaway, the small cozy towns of San Augustin and Puerto de Mogan are more suitable. And in Puerto Rico and Playa del Ingles, life is in full swing. Here, in addition to the beaches, you will find the largest number of shopping centers, water activities, nightclubs and discos on the island.

Climate features

On Gran Canaria, the weather is comfortable and hospitable for months. The maximum average temperature in summer is +31 ºC, and in winter the thermometer does not fall below +20 ºC. The mountain range, located almost in the center of the island, divides the resort into two climatic zones – southern and northern. In the southern part, winters are mild and warm, while summers are hot and dry. In the northern part, the climate is cooler and more humid, with frequent precipitation in the form of snow in winter, fog and rain in summer. The temperature difference between these parts of the island can range from two to seven degrees. The indicator of water temperature on the coast during the year varies slightly. In the winter months it is +19ºC, and in summer +24 ºC.

Weather in Gran Canaria in winter

During the first month of the calendar winter in most of the island, the average daytime temperature rarely drops below +21 ºC, at night below +17 ºC. Moreover, on the southern side of the island, this figure is 3-4 degrees higher. The water temperature in the first half of the month is +21 ºC, closer to January it will be +19–20 ºC. The northern part is characterized by light clouds and light precipitation. In December, tourists come to Gran Canaria mainly for affordable excursions.

In the second half of the month, the inhabitants of the island prepare for the Catholic Christmas. Holiday fairs are starting. Fine products of local craftsmen flaunt on the stalls, music sounds everywhere and the smell of freshly prepared food, so you definitely won’t be bored.

In January, the daytime air temperature on the island is +20 ºC, at night it fluctuates between +16–18 ºC. Precipitation is likely, but quite rare and short-lived – no more than 3-4 rainy days. The wind spoils the rather pleasant weather in Gran Canaria a bit, so a windbreaker or a warm sweater will do. Water temperature 19-20 ºC.

Tourists visiting the island this month are advised by local guides to go sightseeing on the south side of the island. It is 2-3 degrees warmer and less windy there. But if the purpose of your trip is not a beach holiday, but adventure and adrenaline, go to the mountainous regions of the island. The view from the Pico de las Nevas observation deck is breathtaking and amazing. This is the highest mountain on the island, from which you can admire the rock of Roque Bentayga and Mount Roque Nublo. The latter is considered one of the permanent symbols of Gran Canaria.

The weather conditions in February are very similar to those of the previous month. The average daily temperature is +19 ºC, but on a calm, clear day, the temperature in the southern resorts can be 23–25 ºC. At night, the thermometer is in the range of 15-17 ºC. The number of rainy days is reduced to two. The water on the coast is not yet conducive to swimming – 18–19 ºC.

In February, fragrant almonds bloom beautifully in Gran Canaria. But still, the main event of the month is a colorful carnival. For several days, it turns the capital of the island of Las Palmas into a big stage, on which, accompanied by incendiary music, bright costumed processions and various theatrical performances take place.

Weather in Gran Canaria in spring

With the advent of spring, the sun warms up the daytime air to +21 ºC, while the night air does not change yet – 15–17 ºC. The water temperature is also at its lower limit of 19 ºC. The number of sunny days is increasing. In March, the southern part of the island is visited by sand winds from the Sahara. This is a rather unpleasant, but short-lived phenomenon. Such storms last no more than 2-3 days.

Curious tourists at this time can go on an interesting excursion in the footsteps of the Guanches – the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands. In the picturesque gorge of Guayadeque, there is the famous Cueva Pintada cave, the walls of which are decorated with bizarre paintings. And near the Barranco de Fataga gorge there is a reconstructed village of the disappeared people who inhabited the archipelago – Mundo Aborigen.

In April, the island becomes warmer, the winds gradually subside. Most of the month Gran Canaria enjoys clear, sunny days. The daytime temperature is in the range of 22–24 ºC, at night +18 ºC. By the end of the month, the water warms up to 20–21 ºC.

In spring, many windsurfers and diving enthusiasts come to the resorts of the island. There are many wonderful places for practicing these sports in the water area, plus warm clear water and a diverse underwater world. On the territory of the resort in specialized centers you will not only pick up all the necessary equipment for a swim or dive, but also conduct an exhaustive professional briefing. And for beginners, there are numerous schools.

In May, the beach season opens in Gran Canaria. The air has already warmed up well, its temperature is 23–25 ºC. At night it is still a little cool – 19-20 ºC. There is very little precipitation, in the northern part of the island only 2-3 short-term rains per month can pass. The water temperature in the sea is +21ºC.

As long as there is no sweltering summer heat, it is good to make car and walking tours of the island. Water lovers are invited to the largest water park in the Canary Islands – Aqualand Maspalomas. On its territory there are more than 30 slides of various heights, exciting water attractions, specialized shallow pools for children and even a small sea with an artificial current. The water temperature in the park is very comfortable for both adults and children – 24 ºC.

Weather in Gran Canaria in summer

The weather in Gran Canaria by months is suitable for an interesting and eventful holiday throughout the year, but the summer here is simply a paradise for a beach holiday. The average daily temperature on the island at the beginning of summer is +25 ºC, at night +20 ºC. The water temperature at the beginning of the month is +21 ºC with a steady warming trend, and already in the last week of June this figure may reach +22 ºC.

It’s time to take a closer look at the local beaches. The most popular are Playa de San Agustin, Playa del Ingles and Playa de Maspalomas. Almost every year, these beaches are awarded the “Blue Flag” – the highest European quality mark for beaches. It should be remembered that all the beaches on the island are public, so the entrance to them is free and free, only the rental of sun loungers and umbrellas is paid.

In July, all the beaches of the island become crowded. And no wonder – the weather is the most suitable. In the southern resorts of the island, the average daily temperature reaches +28ºC. Nights are slightly cooler – 22 ºC. Ocean water temperature on the coast is 22–23 ºC.

Gran Canaria has a well-developed water entertainment industry: romantic boat trips, extreme water skiing, diving into the ocean depths on a small but real submarine with large panoramic windows, diving, surfing, fishing and much more.

August is deservedly considered the hottest of all summer months. The average daily temperature reaches +30 ºC. But almost zero humidity and a refreshing ocean breeze make it easy and comfortable to endure this temperature. August warm nights (+24 ºC) are conducive to long evening walks along the coast and incendiary dances in numerous clubs and open discos on the ocean coast. The water temperature reached its maximum value – 25 ºC.

Weather in Gran Canaria in autumn

In September, the average daily temperature on the island drops to +28 ºC. Nights are still quite warm – 23 ºC. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Gran Canaria are warmed up to +24 ºC, and this temperature will remain unchanged throughout the month. In the northern resorts, intermittent rains are possible.

This month is just perfect for a leisurely beach holiday. But if you want to dilute it with something, go to Palmitos Park. It contains a large number of bright representatives of the flora and fauna of various continents: many birds, a large aquarium with exotic fish, a butterfly exhibition and a dolphinarium. The territory of the park is immersed in greenery and flowers.

In October, temperatures in Gran Canaria drop a few more degrees. Now the day on the island is no more than +26 ºC, the night temperature is also decreasing, now it is 20–21 ºC. The water temperature in the ocean is still quite comfortable for swimming – 22-23 ºC.

Precipitation becomes probable not only for the northern, but also for the southern part of the island. Although the northern resorts are still cooler and windier, so most tourists this month choose the southern cities of Gran Canaria for recreation. It is in this part of the island that the moving sand dunes of Maspalomas are located – one of the most beautiful places in the Canary Islands. Also this month there are interesting cultural events – the international film festival and the locals’ favorite Fiesta de la Navel.

With the advent of November, the weather in Gran Canaria begins to act up in autumn. The temperature drops to 22–23 ºC during the day and +19 ºC at night. The number of rainy and windy days is increasing, especially in the northern part of the island. In the southern resorts, many tourists still swim and sunbathe, although the water temperature in the ocean no longer exceeds +21 ºC. Fog is likely in mountainous areas.

Every year the island hosts a major sporting event – the international transatlantic regatta. When vacationing in Gran Canaria in November, be sure to visit one of the wine festivals. Here you can not only buy good wine from local producers, but also taste many types of this drink for free.

The island has no bad weather – Gran Canaria in February

Nature has no bad weather, and so does the island Gran Canaria . Due to its location, in this heavenly place, the weather is almost always stable and the average temperature – air and water.
When we flew on vacation in winter, in February, through Madrid over the snow-covered Pyrenees, we hoped that we would also find the remnants of snow in the mountains of the island (fools found something to dream about). Most likely you have already read – comfort and stable weather at Gran Canaria provides mountains that block the path of clouds and precipitation, proximity to Africa provides warmth, the cold Mexican current protects from heat and saves from sudden changes in temperature, as well as a constant Azores maximum atmospheric pressure, due to which the island has a year-round minimum rainfall.

GRAND CANARIA WEATHER

YoWindow.com
Forecast by yr.no

A few numbers won’t hurt. Precisely thanks to stability, weather Gran Canaria in January , in February and in March differ slightly – spring! The air temperature during the day is about +20°C, at night +15-16°C, the water in these months is about +18°C, though in February and in March the amount of precipitation decreases by a third. But these are just numbers that can be found on any sites. But deviations in one direction or another and the temperature of comfort (personal feelings) will not be found everywhere. So I decided to leave my reviews about the weather in Gran Canaria in February in photos with a few comments and give some travel tips (read how to fly away to rest on the island Gran Canaria on your own).

The difficulty in such a holiday in the winter is how to dress, what to take, so that you don’t freeze in cold Russia and don’t take a steam bath in Gran Canaria and don’t rush around with a lot of luggage. We were a little unlucky – the winter of that year was severe not only in Europe. Snow fell even in Egypt, and in the Canary Islands in February it was somewhat cooler than expected. Rather, it was not so much cool as windy, there was no rain, although in some places it seemed that it was about to cover. Umbrellas definitely do not drag on yourself.
A lot depends on the chosen resort. Numerous

hotels in Gran Canaria

will satisfy both the specific needs of surfers and other extreme people, and the whims of couples craving a beach holiday. If you are with children, it is better to book hotel in the southern part of the island (

Maspalomas

,

Mogan

or

Puerto Rico

) Gran Canaria for holidays. It would seem that a couple of tens of kilometers, and what a striking contrast. Checked, even small children swam there. And we chose apartments at

Playa del Inglés

and swam in the ocean on their huge beach.

When the sun was hiding behind gloomy clouds, we had to “sunbathe” in February and so 🙂 Thank God, it was not often.

Therefore, the first thing you should definitely take on vacation in February and March is light windbreakers, preferably made from natural fabrics, so as not to resist, and always with a hood. At Gran Canaria jackets are needed not so much for warmth as for protection from biting wind. At the same time, the legs are practically not cold, the temperature is about + 23-25 ° C. Approximately this is how a beachgoer should be equipped when relaxing in the winter on Gran Canaria.

This is the northern part of the island – not very many sunbathers. It seems to me that the pebble beach is warmer.

The weather is and the nature is wonderful – in February almond blossoms on the island. In the mountains it happens in different ways: when it is sunny, it is even hot.

In the morning and in cloudy, windy weather, you need to warm up, especially if you go on a trip to the mountains. And if you get into the clouds, like us, then even through thick clothes you will feel a chill chilling your back. But how many impressions will be!

Such sunny weather (photo below) in Gran Canaria is typical for February. I hope you are lucky and have more sunny days – before our trip, in past years, it was always warmer. Probably because my birthday is February 13th 🙂 But we are not complaining (the island has no bad weather), we had a wonderful vacation on the island Gran Canaria , having traveled it far and wide to make sure it was true words – this is a whole continent in miniature!

Climate in the Canaries and Gran Canaria.

Archipelago.

The climate of the Canaries, located at the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer, is considered one of the healthiest in the world. It is tropical-trade wind, moderately hot and dry – “the climate of eternal spring”, as the Canarians themselves say. Its softness and constancy are determined, among others, by two main factors:

Canary Current and northeast trade winds *.

The uniqueness of the climate of the Canary Islands is explained by the fact that they are under the influence of the Azores maximum ** – in the zone of high atmospheric pressure. This provides a large number of sunny days and low rainfall.
The islands are characterized by an extremely uniform temperature distribution: From April to November, daytime temperatures range from +22 ^o C to +30 ^o C, and from December to March from +17 ^o C to +25 ^o C (however, it is much cooler in the mountains in winter).

The water temperature in the Atlantic is even more constant. It rarely drops below 20 degrees, although it also rarely rises above 24’s .

* The trade wind is the wind that blows between the tropics all year round. In the Northern Hemisphere from the northeast, in the Southern – from the southeast, separated from each other by a calm strip.

** AZORES HIGH or NORTH ATLANTIC ANTICYCLONE – an area of high atmospheric pressure that periodically occurs in all months of the year in a section of the subtropical belt with a center near the Azores of the Atlantic Ocean. This is due to the passage of the cold Canary Current here. In summer, the Azores High forms a spur along the Mediterranean Sea, and in winter – to the Sahara to Africa, affecting the decrease in precipitation in the region.

Gran Canaria.

the island is located in the center of the archipelago, then the climate in Gran Canaria is “arithmetic mean”.

But you must always remember that the weather from region to region of the island can vary significantly, especially in winter.

Maspalomas – the tourist south of the island, for example, is always more sunny and dry, while in the north, including Las Palmas, it will be wetter and cooler, not to mention the weather somewhere in the center of the island, where sometimes even snow falls . This is due to the mountain range, which essentially divides the island into two equal parts and which holds back all the “troubles” blowing from the north.

By the way, the climate of Las Palmas has been recognized by Syracuse University (USA) as the best urban climate in the world. I would like to agree with the Americans on this.

I should note that sometimes, mainly in winter, the Monsoons also blow – usually from the southwest (from Latin America), which almost always bring warm short-term rains.

Many of our tourists are surprised by the coolness of the water in the ocean. And the most interesting thing is that they are right, because the Atlantic in these latitudes should be warmer. The reason for this is the Canary Current, which is an offshoot of the Gulf Stream – so warm for Europe, especially northern, but cool for the Canaries. Pay attention to this map on the right: here we see where (north of the Azores) the Canary Current originates (down arrow). But on the other hand, thanks to this current, the weather in the Canary Islands is so comfortable in summer: in summer, even at 30 degrees, it does not seem hot here, except for the phenomenon called “Kalima”, when every 3-4 months a strong wind “Harmattan” from the side Africa brings heat and crushed sand from the Sahara.

A little more about the Canary Current.

The Canary Current has been known for several centuries, but only recently, as a result of a series of studies, detailed information about it has appeared. The Canary Current runs along the African coast from north to south between 30°N. and 10° N and in the direction from the coast to 20°W. The Canary current is wide (1000 km) and slow (10-30 cm/sec) and flows towards the equator all year round. Its surface waters are relatively cold because as the current heads south it carries upwelling waters*** from the coast. The average depth of the Canary Current is about 500 m. The Canary Archipelago, whose depth reaches more than 3000 m, is an obstacle to the flow of the Canary Current.

*** UPWELLING. In many areas of the World Ocean, there is a “floating” of deep waters to the surface of the ocean. This phenomenon, called upwelling (from the English up – up and well – gush), occurs, for example, if the wind drives away warm surface waters, and colder ones rise in their place. The water temperature in upwelling areas is always lower than the average at a given latitude, these areas are: Peruvian-Chile (near South America), Californian (near North America), Benguela (near Southwest Africa), Canary (near West Africa).

Free buses run from the port to Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria.

Ferry service is provided by two companies:

Ferry Fred Olsen Express

ferry Naviera Armas

Rent a car

As with all the Canary Islands, the best way to explore the island is to rent a car. There are a huge number of rental companies on the island, both well-known European brands and local local distributors. You can rent a car right at the airport of Gran Canaria, here is the largest choice. However, if you do not want to rush, then in every tourist city of the island you can rent a car, scooter or bicycle.

Weather in Gran Canaria

The warm Gulf Stream and the favorable geographical location of the island have created all the conditions for an excellent holiday in Gran Canaria. After all, it is warm here even in winter, the temperate warm climate of the island attracts travelers from all over the world. Separately, it is worth talking about the unique, completely different microclimates in Gran Canaria: you can spend the morning on the hot coast, go on an excursion inland in the afternoon, and end up on a snowy peak in the evening.

In summer the air temperature stays stable within 26-28ºC, and in winter around 22-24ºC. Due to rare rainfall and warm climate, the season in Gran Canaria lasts all year round. The mountain chain divided the island into two main climatic zones: dry and warm south and cool north.

Yacht charter is possible with or without a skipper if you have the necessary skills and a skipper’s license.

During the season it is better to take care of renting a yacht in the Canary Islands in advance, as the services are in great demand, and good offers are quickly sold out.

The beautiful three-story colonial-style building is now the Museum of the Age of Discovery. The Columbus Museum is dedicated to sea voyages and discoveries of different periods. Expositions with authentic maritime exhibits tell about the voyages of Columbus, the development of navigation and the history of the islands. The museum also features a three-dimensional model of the island of Gran Canaria. The Columbus Museum is open Monday through Saturday.

Dunas de Maspalomas

The hallmark of Gran Canaria, the dunes of Maspalomas, is not only a national reserve, but also a stunning sandy beach. The size of the tourist complex is more than 1000 hectares, there are shops and restaurants, hotels and bungalows, and, of course, the sand dunes of Maspalomas, whose length is more than 3 kilometers.

Nearby is an impressive old building – the darkened lighthouse of Faro de Maspalomas, the symbol of the city and the island of Gran Canaria. This is an active lighthouse, built in 1890 year. Be sure to visit the observation deck at the lighthouse, from a height of 60 meters offers stunning views of the dunes of Maspalomas and the endless ocean, as well as the surrounding area.

St. Anne’s Cathedral (Cathedral of Canaries)

Another significant architectural monument of the island, which is the seat of the Catholic Diocese, Canary Cathedral (Catedral de Canarias) or the Cathedral of St. Anne (Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de Canarias). Long construction, which was stopped and resumed again, led to an unusual mixture of styles. In the architecture of the building, you can find elements from late Gothic to neoclassical.

Cueva Pintada Museum Park

You can learn more about the history of the island at the Museo y Parque Arqueológico Cueva Pintada. Archaeologists are still actively working here and you can become participants in new discoveries and unusual finds, go down to the underground park to a cave with a unique rock painting or get acquainted with household items in a traditional exhibition.

Where are the Canary Islands in Spain?

Spain has two sets of main islands- the Balaeric islands, and the Canary Islands. While the Balaeric Islands are located right off the coast of mainland Spain, the Canary Islands are actually a bit further.

The archipelago of the Canary Islands in Spain are actually located off the north western coast of Africa. This is great because they are still part of Spain, but experience much better weather than the mainland.

Even though they are part of Spain, the Canary Islands are located off the coast of Africa.

How to Get to the Canary Islands in Spain

Despite their odd location, the Canary Islands in Spain are actually quite accessible. You can reach them by flight, ferry, and cruise ship.

Flying to the Canary Islands in Spain

Many cities throughout Spain, as well as all over Europe have direct flights to the majority of the islands. The two cheapest and easiest islands to get to are Tenerife and Gran Canaria, but there are also plenty of other countries with direct flights to the islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and La Palma.

Flying into or out of Tenerife gives you the most stunning views.

Taking a Ferry to the Canary Islands in Spain

Another way to visit the Canary Islands is by ferry. Although it is much more common to take ferries within the Canary Islands, there are ferries that go from the mainland to a few of the different islands.

Ferries go from Huelva to both Gran Canaria and Tenerife a few times a week, and take about 32-34 hours. Tickets for foot passengers start at 121 euros and for cars start at 345 euros.

We personally think that flying is much easier when it comes to visiting the Canary Islands in Spain. However, if you aren’t a fan of flying, then this mini cruise may be for you.

All of the islands are connected by ferry.

Cruising to the Canary Islands in Spain

Due to their location, it is actually very common for cruise ships to stop in the Canary Islands.

Many will stop there on Transatlantic Crossings, usually going from Miami to Europe and vice versa. These happen usually in the spring when ships are relocating from the Caribbean to Europe for the summer, or in the fall when ships are heading back to the Caribbean for the winter.

Cruise ships usually stop for just a day in a few islands, the most popular ones being Tenerife and Gran Canaria, but also sometimes in Lanzarote and La Palma. There are also local European cruise lines that stop in the Canary Islands on a more regular basis.

A lot of cruise ships stop in the Canary Islands during Transatlantic crossings.

Entry Requirements for the Canary Islands in Spain

When visiting the Canary Islands, the restrictions to enter are the same as mainland Spain. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Visa Requirements for the Canary Islands in Spain

There are many citizenships that can enter Spain visa-free. Travelers from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland can enter with no restrictions, while those that don’t need a Schengen visa can visit for up to 90 days in a 180 day period.

The 90/180 Rule

It’s important to note that the 90 days are valid for all countries in the Schengen area, For example, if you spend 20 days in Italy (also part of the EU), you will then only be able to spend 70 days total in Spain within that 180 day period.

We use the Schengen visa calculator, which is helpful for those planning on traveling in and out of the EU for a long period of time, You can click here to calculate yours.

Schengen Visas

For those that are planning on staying longer, or those that are from a country that don’t get visa-free access, they will need to in fact apply for a Schengen Visa. You can click here to see the list of countries that need to get a Schengen Visa.

Covid Entry Requirements for the Canary Islands in Spain

When we visit the Canary Islands in Spain in February, Covid tests were still obligatory. The good news is, that now all restrictions have been lifted! There are no extra requirements to enter Spain due to Covid, and masks are no longer necessary unless in a medical facility or public transportation.

Local Adjustments

Whenever you travel somewhere new, there are things that you may forget about. These could be different from where you are coming from. Here are a few of the local adjustments to keep in mind while traveling to the Canary Islands in Spain.

Language

The official language in the Canary Islands is Spanish. However, the Spanish in the Canary Islands is a little different than the Spanish spoken on the mainland. They speak much faster, and can be a bit more difficult to understand, They actually share more in common language wise with the Caribbean than they do with Spain.

Many of the islands have a big influx of German and English tourists. Because of this, you’ll find that the more touristy areas have a lot of signs and menus in multiple languages, as well as many English and German speakers.

Currency

The currency used in The Canary Islands is the same as the rest of Spain, which is the euro. Most places takes credit card, so you won’t need to carry too much cash on you, unless you are taking public transportation.

Outlets

The Canary Islands use the same plugs as the rest of Europe, which are plug types C, E, & F. The standard voltage in The Canary Islands is 220V and the standard frequency is 50Hz.

Water Potability

When you go to restaurants in the Canary Islands you will never receive tap water. Many say that you can’t drink it, or they simply won’t offer it. However, we drank plenty of tap water throughout the Canary Islands in Spain, and it is perfectly safe to consume.

Tipping Culture

The tipping culture in Spain is pretty much inexistent. If you are traveling around the Canary Islands it is not common to tip, unless it is a very nice restaurant, or excellent service. If this is the case people will usually leave one or two euros.

However, when you visit some more touristy areas like the south Gran Canaria or Tenerife, it is much more common for people to leave 10% or for there to be a service charge on top of your bill.

Where to Visit in the Canary Islands in Spain

We’ll be honest- there is not a single part of the Canary Islands in Spain that we did not enjoy! Each island has its own beautiful landscapes and overall atmosphere to it. We’re going to share a bit about each island, so you can choose which of the Canary Islands is best to visit for you.

Local Food & Drink in the Canary Islands in Spain

The cuisine in the Canary Islands has a lot of influence from Spain, but also has its own island specialties. Not only that, but each island has some of their own dishes! Here are some of our favorite dishes to try throughout the Canary Islands in Spain.

Seafood: The seafood in the Canary Islands is super fresh. Take advantage of the fresh catches that the local fisherman bring in.

Lapas: This is a small shellfish that we’ve only seen in the Canary Islands. It is round, and a bit more tough and rubber than mussels and clams.

Cazuela de Mariscos: This is one of our favorite dishes in the Canary Islands! It is seafood cooked in garlic, usually including shrimp, mussels, and other shellfish.

Gambas al Ajillo: shrimp cooked in garlic- a staple in both mainland and the Canary Islands.

Mojo: This sauce is served normally with bread on the table before your meal. There are two types of this garlic based sauce- one is green (made with cilantro or avocado) or red (made with red Chile peppers).

Papas Arrugadas: These small round potatoes are served as an appetizer or side dish, and come with mojo sauce.

Gofio: This is a popular pulverized cereal that you can find across the Canary Islands. It can be used as a topping, or as the base for some soups and stews.

Queso Asado: We can’t get enough of this tasty white cheese that is grilled, and usually topped with some sort of honey, jam, or mojo.

Local Cheese: Each island has its own local cheese particular to that island. Whatever island you visit this is a must.

Quesadilla: This is a product that is particular just of El Hierro. It is a sweet cake, and the round design is also a symbol across the island.

Almogrote: This is a cheese spread made with peppers, and is found only on La Gomera.

Fresh seafood is one of the highlights of the Canary Island cuisine.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Canary Islands

Please help support the mission of New Advent and get the full contents of this website as an instant download. Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more all for only $19.99…

The Canary Islands form an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean facing the western coast of Africa, between the parallels of 27°4′ and 29°3’N. lat., and the meridians of 13°3′ and 18°2’W. long. They consist of seven important islands and some islets. From east to west the first encountered are Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the nearest to the African continent; then come Tenerife and Gran Canaria, while farther westward are Palma, Gomera, and Hierro (or Ferro). The total area of the islands is about 3256 square miles; their population, according to the census of 1900, was 358,564. The country in general is mountainous and volcanic; in Tenerife the Pico de Teyde, or Peak of Tenerife, reaches the height of 12,200 feet, and towers above the other mountains which extend throughout the islands, generally from north-east to south-west. Natural caverns abound, some of them very extensive. There is no great river, but there are numerous springs and torrents. The fauna differs little from that of Europe, with the exception of the dromedary and the thistle-finch, or canary-bird. There are extensive forests of pine and laurel, and some stems reach a gigantic height. The climate of the islands is mild and salubrious; hence they are much frequented as winter resorts. The Canary Islands are essentially agricultural. Their soil, usually fertile, though subject to frequent droughts, produces an abundance of fruits, sugar-cane, and tobacco. The wines are exquisite, and together with the fruits, tobacco, and fish, which is good and plentiful, form the principal articles of commerce for export. Much cochineal, also, is manufactured in the islands. The most important centres of population are: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Orotava, and La Laguna in the island of Tenerife; Las Palmas and Arracife in Gran Canaria; Santa Cruz de la Palma in the island of Palma; Quia and Valverde in that of Hierro.

Civil and ecclesiastical divisions

The Canary Islands constitute a civil province, a judicial district (audiencia), with its seat at Palmas, for the administration of justice, and a military governorship (captaincy-general). Ecclesiastically they are divided into two dioceses, suffragan of Seville, that of Tenerife, with episcopal residence at Santa Cruz, and that of Canaries, with residence at Las Palmas. In 1906 the Diocese of Tenerife, which comprises the islands of Tenerife, Gomera, Palma, and Hierro, had a Catholic population of 171,045, with 62 parishes, 86 priests, 60 churches, and 167 chapels; while the Diocese of Canaries had a Catholic population of 83,378, 50 Protestants, 42 parishes, 103 priests, 42 churches, and 113 chapels, and comprises the Grand Canary, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. The courts are held at Santa Cruz de Tenerife. All ports are free, i.e. merchandise entering them is exempt from duty. The inhabitants satisfy the obligation of military service, not in the ranks of the peninsular army, but in the local territorial militia.

History

The primitive populations of the Canary Islands were the Guanches, a white race, vigorous, of high stature, fair-haired and blue-eyed, and leading mostly a pastoral life. At the time of their conquest by the Europeans they used weapons and utensils of wood and stone, were clothed in skins of animals, and lived in the numerous natural grottos. Their ornaments were of bone, sea-shells, and baked clay. They were hospitable and deeply attached to their independence. Each island was divided into separate states, ruled over by kings, who were assisted by the chiefs of the noble families and the most esteemed priests or soothsayers. They held their meetings in the open air in places specially intended for this purpose. They were monotheists and made offerings of domestic animals, milk, and fruit to the Supreme Being. At some early date Old World peoples from Africa and Asia reached these islands and founded there permanent colonies, blending with the aboriginal stock. Their invasions are attested by archaeological remains and inscriptions; certain Numidian inscriptions on the rocks of Gran Canaria and Hierro are similar to those discovered in Africa. An Aragonese fleet explored the islands in 1330. Another Castilian coasting expedition, sent forth by merchants of Seville and Biscay, disembarked, in 1385, in Lanzarote and vanquished the aborigines, but did not found any lasting settlement. This was not accomplished until the expedition of Jean de Béthencourt, a French nobleman, who in virtue of a mission confided to him by the King of Castile, Henry III, conquered, from 1402 to 1405, the islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gomera, and Hierro. The conquest of Gran Canaria, Palma, and Tenerife was effected during the reign of the Catholic sovereigns, from 1478 to 1495, by Diego Garcia de Herrera, Pedro de Vera, and Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, but not without heroic resistance on the part of the Guanches.

Combined action on the part of Church and State helped to Christianize and civilize the Guanches, and gave excellent results. The people abandoned their heathen practices and willingly embraced Christianity. The Catholic priest was always a brave protector of the natives against the vexations to which, in the early days of the conquest, they were occasionally exposed at the hands of their conquerors. Among the most deserving ecclesiastics in this respect is Don Juan de Frias, Bishop of Gran Canaria at the close of the fifteenth century. The Catholic sovereigns dictated wise provisional measures in order to protect the lives and farms of the aborigines, and after the conclusion of the war gave them the right to participate in the government of the islands. Owing to frequent marriages between Spaniards and Guanches, the fusion of both races was finally accomplished, and this community of affection and interest became a powerful factor in the economic prosperity of the islands.

Canary Islands: The year-round European destination for sun, surf and sand

Just off the coast of Africa in the North Atlantic Ocean, this eight island archipelago is famed for its black sand beaches and rugged volcanic landscapes.

With Tenerife at its heart, the Canaries are a great holiday destination for surfers, food lovers and adventurers. Whether you want to spend your days eating at Michelin star restaurants, trekking through lush forests or simply relaxing on the beach, there’s something for everyone here.

How did the Canary Islands end up here?

Playa de las Tereisitas, TenerifeCanva

The islands emerged from the Atlantic millions of years ago, creating a unique ecosystem thanks to the rich volcanic soil. If you drive from South Tenerife to the North, you’ll see a hot and stony landscape turn into a damp and lush forest.

Then, just a short hop across the North Atlantic waters, you can see the impact of this volcanic history in Lanzarote’s stunning and stark lava fields.

With so much to see and experience on these Spanish islands, we’ve divided our guide into different categories. So whatever you’re interested in, we’ve got your stay in this diverse archipelago covered.

What are the travel restrictions for the Canary Islands?

All visitors from the UK and Schengen EU countries must present their vaccination certificate – the Spanish government accepts the NHS vaccine passport – to show they have received both doses. If you are not fully vaccinated, you must show a negative PCR result taken in the last 72 hours in order to enter the Canary Islands. You can find all the current guidance here.

Tourists entering Spain must also present a pre-travel declaration form.

Should you avoid La Palma right now?

Cumbre Vieja eruption in La PalmaLex Thoonen, Isla Canarias Brand Centre

La Palma’s volcano Cumbre Vieja first erupted on 19 September and was followed by a 3.8 magnitude earthquake. The volcano has remained active ever since and is spewing ash and lava, which has destroyed over 1,100 buildings in the vicinity to date.

A post shared by euronews (@euronews.tv)

Villages close to the volcano have been evacuated. Tourists, however, can still visit the island and many hotels are still open for business.

Scientists are unable to predict when the eruption will end.

The best places to eat in the Canary Islands

Restaurants in Puerto de la CruzLex Thoonen, Islas Canarias

If your heart is in your stomach, then you’ll soon be besotted with the Canaries. Tenerife is home to five Michelin star restaurants, including the two starred M.B run by chef Martin Berasategui. Located in the Ritz Carlton Abama Hotel, Berasategui is famed for his unique interpretations of Spanish cuisine, including influences from the Basque Country.

Meanwhile, if seafood is your passion, then head to Rincon de Juan Carlos’ self-named restaurant for a taste of the sea and locally-sourced ingredients. The menu changes regularly, you can expect to eat things like local striped shrimp, mackerel with bordelaise sauce, and grilled blackberry sorbet with pink pepper cream.

If you can’t stretch to a Michelin budget, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of places to eat delicious food in the Canaries on a more limited budget.

Teguise Market in Lanzarote is the island’s oldest and biggest market, taking place every Sunday from 9am – 2pm all year round. There are hundreds of stalls selling local crafts, bric-a-brac, and most importantly, local delicacies.

Grapevines growing in volcanic soil in LanzaroteCanva

Thanks to its desert-like climate, the Canaries have become a great region for wine too. The black volcanic soil of Lanzarote traps heat, and means the grapevines really stand out against the stark landscape.

The Timanfaya National Park is where you’ll find the majority of the island’s grape growing. The island mainly produces full-bodied white varieties, often with citric notes, though complex reds are also produced, and can be sampled in the region’s wineries.

The best places for nature lovers in Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife

Mountains in Gran Canaria, SpainCanva

If you’ve eaten at all those restaurants, you might be in need of some exercise. Luckily, the Canaries boasts some spectacular natural settings for you to walk, ramble and hike in, whatever your fitness level.

For a gentle walk, head for the tiny Isla de Lobos off the coast of Fuerteventura, also popular with surfers. You actually need a permit to visit this unique island. You need to apply for this three days in advance, which you can do here. Once you have it, you can hop on a boat and explore the island’s protected ecosystem. Once home to a colony of sea lions, the island features a small human settlement from 1865 as well as two lighthouses. You can also visit the Marrajo saltpans, and as the island is so small, you can easily explore the whole place in the four hours your permit allows.

If you’re visiting Gran Canaria, make sure to check out the Ruta de Plata. This trek is well-signposted and will take you roughly five hours to complete. Guiding you through pine forests, past lush succulents, the trek will also take you past the Roque Nublo, a now extinct volcano which once sat at the centre of the island. There are some spectacular panoramic views to be had too.

El Teide, TenerifeCanva

For those feeling very energetic, the experience of climbing Spain’s highest mountain is also up for grabs. At a lofty 3,718 metres high, El Teide on Tenerife is the third highest volcano in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site too.

Don’t embark on this hike unless you’re prepared and very fit, because the changes in altitude can be a lot to handle. For those who still want to experience the volcano but at a gentler pace, there’s also a cable car, which will take you directly to the top. Once there, you can look down into the El Teide crater.

Which is the best Canary island for watersports?

Windsurfing in FuerteventuraCanva

Fuerteventura is one of Europe’s most popular spots for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. This is thanks to the island’s strong winds (as the name suggests) and 150km of soft white sand beaches.

The south of Fuerteventura (or ‘Fuerte’ as it’s known to locals) has good winds all year round, while the north has choppier waves for expert and amateur surfers. Fuerteventura is packed full of surf schools if you want to improve your skills, while it’s sunny all year round too, so you can relax and sunbathe between activities.

Which is the best Canary island for wildlife?

Le Hierro, Canary IslandsCanva

If you’re keen to see some wildlife, head to the smallest Canary Island, El Hierro. A World Biosphere Reserve since 2000, it’s one of the best places to dive, with underwater volcanic caves, cliffs and stunning marine life such as barracudas and dolphins. The island is also a great spot for whale watching, while on land there are intricate lava rock pools and rare ancient junipers.

Which is the best Canary island for hiking?

Garajonay National Park, La GomeraCanva

Seasoned hikers, meanwhile, should head to La Gomera, the second smallest island in the Canaries, and a World Biosphere Reserve since 2011. The island has over 600 kilometres of trails, which you can walk alone or as part of a guided tour with local experts.

The delicate ecosystem of the island has been well protected, making it a great location for eco tourists keen to explore the island’s biodiversity.

Garajonay National Park is home to an ancient prehistoric laurel forest, while along the coast there’s black sand beaches with clear blue waters.

What are the best beaches on the Canary Islands?

Playa de El Golfo, LanzaroteCanva

After all that activity, lying on a warm sandy beach is the best way to finish a holiday. The Canary Islands are full of beautiful beaches, from soft white sands, to volcanic pebble beaches and striking black sand bays. We’ve picked three of our favourites from the hundreds on offer to help you while away those sunny days.

Playa del Inglés, Valle del Gran Rey, La Gomera

The Canary Islands’ ‘hippy’ destination, this beach has been popular with backpackers since the 1970s. A naturist beach with smooth white sands, the beach has lots of local amenities, including restaurants and bars – though you might have to put your clothes back on first. Surrounded by mountains, there’s also a volcanic sand beach close by if you fancy a change of scene.

Playa del Ingles, TenerifeCanva

Playa de El Golfo, Lanzarote

A stunning black lava beach with its own lagoon, Playa de El Golfo is a natural gem. At the bottom of a wind-carved cliff, there are plenty of dramatic rock formations to explore and photograph, especially when the waves crash into the jutting rocks.

Lago Verde – the beaches’ green lagoon – is bright as a jewel in contrast to the black sands and surrounding rocks. Although the beach itself is quite small, it’s well worth a visit for the geographical wonders on display.

Playas en las Dunas de Corralejo, Fuerteventura

A huge beach, this stretch of golden sand is close to Corralejo, where many watersports fans stay. Stretching on for nine kilometres, the dune is like a slice of the Saharan Desert. The beach has calm turquoise waters and excellent views of the nearby islands of Los Lobos and Lanzarote.

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.

Road travel

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.

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’.

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.

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.

Best Things to Do in the Canary Islands

Travel

Islands

Deserts next to tropical forests next to volcanoes next to tidal pools.

Tenerife, Canary Islands | Balate Dorin/Shutterstock

When it comes to traveling to Europe this winter, Spain might initially sound tempting, with its breathtaking beaches, buzzing nightlife, irresistible food, and mild Mediterranean temps. But unfortunately, wintertime still means winter weather on the Iberian peninsula.

But wait! There’s an even warmer getaway where we Spaniards flock for the perfect winter escape: The Canary Islands. Just off the coast of Northern Africa, this Spanish archipelago has a subtropical climate that guarantees temps around 70 to 73 °F from January to February. No wonder they’re dubbed “the lucky islands.”

Here, you can have your laid back lounging and your adventurous exploring back to back, with black and ochre volcanic landscapes; Martian-like panoramas of arches and slot canyons; lush forests on top of mountains; aqua tidal pools next to long, golden beaches lined with cliffs; and colorful, colonial-style villages climbing up hills. You can ride camels from sandy dunes studded with cacti, hike to waterfalls surrounded by tropical palm trees, or swim next to seahorses in the clearest oceans.

Seven different islands offer seven distinct experiences to hop around and sample a bit of each: Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the biggest (and maybe most touristy) ones with a wide range of landscapes and activities. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are famous for their striking orange, sandy volcanic and beachy looks. And La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa are the smallest and intimate islands, with fewer people but more green and mountainous treks. The entry requirements are the same as to get into Spain, meaning if you’re fully vaccinated, have a negative covid test, and fill out the country’s entry form, you can get a QR code and you’ll be good to go.

Want more reasons for visiting? Here are just a few of them.

Feel like you’re in space with moon-like landscapes and the brightest stars

At 12,198 feet, Teide on Tenerife island is the third tallest volcano in the world. For those who summit its peak, the views above the clouds are simply stunning, but even trekking below on the otherworldly grounds of Teide National Park will make you feel like an astronaut.

The altitude, low level of light pollution, and frequent winds that keep the sky clear make Teide an exceptional destination for stargazing, awarded with a Starlight Tourist Destination label. There’s a reason why astrophysicists from all over the world flock to the Teide Astronomic Observatory. Joining a night sky observation tour like Astrophototour or Tiede by Night is almost mandatory.

The feeling like you’re on the moon goes even further at Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote island, with its rough, barren, and rocky surface. Peculiar grape vines grow on Lanzarote at El Grifo and many other vineyards in black, volcanic soil within crater-shaped pockets, as though hit by a group of asteroids ages ago. Seeing such unexpected life—combined with a recent volcano eruption in Las Palmas that has affected most of the island’s surface—you almost can’t help but admire the tenacity of the local islanders raised around such active lava.

Ride a camel from the desert to the jungle to the ocean to the city

It’s not all arid, red expanses in the Canary Islands. The islands are also full of subtropical wet forests, mist-covered mountains, endemic fauna and flora, fine gold and black sand beaches, and salt water tidal pools clear as glass next to the ocean, lined by cliffs such as Los Gigantes on Tenerife.

Adventures here come by way of mother nature. Ride a dromedary in Maspalomas dune system on Gran Canaria. Find the 1,000-year-old Drago tree (hint: start on Tenerife). Or you do waterfall and ocean-cliff treks in places such as Charco Azul (Gran Canaria) or Cascada de los Tilos (La Palma).

Don’t miss out on visiting villages from different centuries, such as Icod de Los Vinos, Teguise, or La Laguna. Icod is one of the oldest towns on the islands. Archaeological remains have been found dating back to the fifth century BC that belonged to the Guanches, the original inhabitants of Amazigh (Berber) descent.

Play or lay by the water

Water sports fans and thrill-seekers just hit the jackpot at the Canary Islands. The clear waters and trade winds make them the perfect spot for surfing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing (all the surfings, really). The Canary Islands are also a great destination for whale and dolphin watching, scuba diving, and snorkeling with stingrays, sea horses, and turtles.

Or take a dip in one of the many charcos, which are natural, salt water pools formed along the rocky coastlines—a pastime favored by locals. The best known are Charco del Viento, Charco Los Chochos, and Charco del Faro de Buena Vista, but you can find them all over the island.

If you rather enjoy a chill mood, you can opt for relaxing at one of the many amazing beaches. On Lanzarote, you could head to Playa Papagayo’s gorgeous turquoise waters, El Golfo’s black lava pebbles and small green lagoon, or windy and wild Famara. On Fuerteventura, Dunas de Corralejo has nearly six miles of beach coastline surrounded by dunes that have been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, or Playa de Sotavento de Jandía, where sand creates small natural pools. Tenerife has Las Teresitas for golden Saharian sand and kid-friendly shallow waters, or the most distinctive volcanic black sand beauty of El Benijo. Also notable are Nogales on La Palma or Playa del Inglés on La Gomera.

Party during a month-long fiesta

If you are looking for fiesta, you should consider traveling before Easter: Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is the younger sibling of Brazil’s Carnival celebrations, complete with salsa music and batucada, street parades, dancing, and a whole lot of color. The festivities will run the entire month of February in 2022 (in fact, January 28–March 6) in Tenerife, so you have plenty of time to catch the party.

Watch out for the Queen of the Carnival with her elaborate, architectural, and über-glam feathered costume. Fun fact: A Queen’s dress can weigh up to 330 – 440 pounds.

Don’t forget your spacey moon wine with each meal. | Andrei Bortnikau/Shutterstcok

Eat a tropical and cultural mix of a feast

Canarian cuisine is unembellished and extremely satisfying. How to find it? Try Guachinches, humble family-run restaurants (similar to Italian trattorias) that serve simple and filling dishes for a modest price. The best of these restaurants are modest, “no-name” joints, so wander at your leisure to discover local dishes.

Papas arrugadas (or ‘wrinkled’ boiled potatoes) with mojo verde (cilantro based sauce) or mojo rojo (chilli garlic sauce) are definitely a must-try. Other local delicacies include almogrote, which is goat cheese spread with dried peppers, tomato paste, and garlic; doughy balls of gofio, made from a toasted-grain flour; and the sweet bienmesabe, a dessert made of almonds, syrup, and eggs.

A significant Venezuelan population means you can also find arepas and cachapas on the islands. You can also get ropa vieja (larded meat stew), roasted kid, atún encebollado (tuna smothered in onions), and legit any other fresh fish. With all the grapes growing in volcanic soil, do not miss the local wines, such as Malvasía or Tajinaste. Nor forget about the emblem of the Canary Islands: the sweet and fragrant plátano de Canarias, a small Cavendish banana variety worthy of a protected designation of origin label.

General description

Canary Islands – is one of the most prestigious resorts in Spain. And although this archipelago is located thousands of kilometers from Europe and geographically close to Africa, nevertheless, these are the Spanish islands. The Canary archipelago includes seven islands: Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Gomera, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Hierro and La Palma. Tenerife and Gran Canaria cater to tireless party and nightlife lovers, while Lanzarote will impress tourists with its volcanic landscapes. They go to the islands of La Gomera and La Palma to wander on foot through the ancient laurel forests, and the endless beaches of Fuerventura will attract tourists who prefer a relaxing holiday. Those who want to visit the very edge of the Old World are recommended to visit Hierro Island and enjoy its underwater world.

The Canary Islands have a mild and warm climate, which is why the locals call the archipelago the place of eternal spring. It’s never too hot or cold here. In addition, the islands can rightfully be considered one of the largest natural botanical gardens, as relict laurel forests grow here. But despite such exoticism, tourists can safely roam the parks and forests without fear of encountering poisonous snakes and insects. Moreover, the Canary Islands are not inhabited by animals that pose a threat to humans, and there are no epidemics and serious diseases.

Climate in the Canary Islands

The climate of the Canary Islands is very mild, so it is almost never stuffy or cold. In winter, the temperature in the Canary Islands never falls below 19-20 degrees, and in summer it does not even rise to +30°C. That is why the Canaries are referred to as the islands of eternal spring. Such a climate attracts a myriad of tourists from cold countries who dream of soaking up the gentle sun.

Excursions and activities in the Canary Islands

You can safely start your trip with a sightseeing tour of Tenerife. During it you will be able to get acquainted with the main attractions of the island. The tour starts from the observation deck in the large city of Garachico, and after tourists are taken to Icod de los Vinos, where the famous dragon tree grows. Then you can get in touch with the traditional culture of the Canary Islands at the Abaco estate and visit the Church of St. Mark. This is followed by a review of the Pueblo Chico park, which will introduce you to the national architecture, and finally you will be taken to the capital of Santa Cruz, where you can buy beautiful clothes and souvenirs. The duration of the tour is approximately 8 hours.

La Gomera will be no less amazing. It is famous primarily for the fact that this is the last stop of Christopher Columbus before his great departure to the far west. However, the main asset of La Gomera is its extraordinary nature. The island still has relic plants and animals that can be found in the Garajonay National Park. Also, you are waiting for the so-called Basalt pillars – rocks that appeared due to the hardened lava and the action of water. All this can be seen on a sightseeing tour of La Gomera, and in the end, relax in a cozy restaurant, try traditional dishes of the Canary Islands and hear the whistle of silbo – a special language of the locals. The whole tour is designed for 8-9hours.

You can also book yourself a fascinating excursion “Fishing in the Atlantic Ocean”. A special vessel is equipped with the necessary equipment for catching completely different types of underwater inhabitants, and a reliable captain will accompany you. Fishing lasts an average of 5 hours.

In addition, the ocean surrounding the Canary Islands is ideal for fishing. Almost anywhere you can order a special excursion or hire a fishing boat on your own to feel like a real navigator. Deep sea fishing is also possible.

The Canary Islands are also great for lovers of hiking. So, for example, the island of La Gomera cannot be explored while sitting in a car. But a traveler who sets out on foot will be able to find a great many footpaths leading to the most secluded corners of mysterious and ancient forests.

Transport features of the Canary Islands

The most convenient way to travel from one island of the Canary archipelago to another is by ferry. The price for one way varies greatly depending on the season and distance, but the average is about 55 euros.

Almost all islands have a well-developed transport system. If you use a bus that travels around the city, the trip can cost about 1 euro. As for a taxi, the price for 1 kilometer will be approximately 2-3 euros. In addition, in the Canary Islands it is possible to rent a bicycle or car to explore the area on your own.

Canary Islands: how to get there?

The most convenient way to get to the Canary Islands is from St. Petersburg or Moscow. Round-trip tickets usually cost from 25 thousand, but you can always get on a profitable promotion. It is also possible to transfer in Madrid. It should be noted that in such cases the destination will be the island of Tenerife. In addition, you can first go to any Spanish port city, and then get on the ferry to the Canary archipelago. This method is far from cheap, and it suits, as a rule, those who love independence and know English or Spanish tourists

Canary Islands holidays, prices

Nowadays the Canary Islands are an amazing place to spend your holidays. Every traveler dreams of visiting these warm mainland islands, where alluring spring reigns all year round. But before you decide to fly to the Canary Islands, you should carefully consider your entire route and stay there, for which you have enough money.

Canary Islands – the islands of “eternal spring”

The fact is that the Canary Islands attract a lot of attention and are very popular. In this connection, the prices for holidays in the Canary Islands are a bit overpriced. For example, despite the fact that the islands belong to Spain, holidays on them are more expensive than in the country itself.

Holidays in the Canary Islands are wonderful, despite the fact that its cost is higher than in mainland Spain.

But at the same time, the rates for daily living expenses in the Canary Islands are lower than in Europe. If you have a limited budget for travel, then about $ 40 a day will be enough for you to pay for housing. Moreover, with this money you can not only rent a room in a boarding house, but also eat at a restaurant once a day and travel on local ferries, buses or on foot. But if you have the opportunity to use a little more money, about 60 – 100 dollars a day, then you can afford to eat better, rent more comfortable housing, and also rent a car.

Basically, the cost of a tour to the Canary Islands includes:

– departure from Moscow;
– accommodation in a room;
– round-trip tickets;
– rest for an average of 10 days.

The most convenient flight is from Moscow to Madrid and then to Tenerife.

Excursions and additional meals are not included in the price of the tour and, if you wish, are paid on the spot.

It is worth noting that tourists spend the most money on food. Prices on the islands in supermarkets are approximately the same as in an average Moscow store, but food in local cafeterias is much cheaper.

If you wish, you can eat on the islands on your own, buying groceries in supermarkets and markets.

If you decide to spend your holiday in one of the Canary Islands, you should know that you are allowed to bring a video camera or two cameras, sports equipment for personal use, items for camping or camping, as well as your own jewelry and things. This rule helps many vacationers save a lot on renting the necessary things on the island. If you wish, you can take with you a small amount of tobacco products, one bottle of wine, plus one more bottle of any alcoholic beverage.

Restaurants and cafes in the Canary Islands offer a wide range of dishes from around the world.

There are absolutely no restrictions on the transportation of permitted foreign currency, plastic cards and checks. But despite this, many travelers prefer to use only plastic cards, and several. And it is best to store them in different places, so that in case of theft or loss, you will not be left completely without money. The use of checks is also quite common. But in this case, it should be borne in mind that it is better to withdraw money from them in large amounts, since with small withdrawals a large commission is paid, which is not at all profitable.

The most famous of the Canary Islands are Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

The price of a vacation in the Canary Islands certainly depends on which month you prefer to go there. For example, the cost of a tour for June or August will be much lower than if you decide to travel for the New Year holidays. Basically, the difference between such tours is considerable, a New Year’s tour to the Canary Islands is 1.5 – 2.5 times higher in price than in summer.

Holidays in the Canary Islands during the New Year holidays will cost 1.5-2 times more than at other times of the year.

The Canary Islands are a great place for all kinds of holidays. You can spend the whole day on the beach, sunbathing under the warm sun, or go in for outdoor activities, exploring the underwater world or catching a wave, and you can also get carried away with shopping. In the latter case, it is better to immediately go to the local market, because there, despite the fixed prices, you can still bargain a little and knock it down.

Canary Islands is a great option for a relaxing beach holiday.

Fans of outdoor activities will not be bored in the Canary Islands.

When planning the budget that you are willing to spend on holidays in the Canary Islands, it is important to take into account the fact that calls are quite expensive from the islands. And in order to notify relatives that everything is fine or to share impressions and emotions about the rest, it is more profitable to use the Internet. Moreover, for the use of the Internet is taken hourly payment. For example, in institutions providing such services on the islands, the cost of one session is about 2 euros, but in hotels it is much higher.

Internet is the most cost-effective communication option between the Kara Islands and other countries.

When planning a trip to the Canary Islands, you should plan your budget as much as possible and, taking into account all the nuances, relax both in body and soul, while saving a lot.

Canary Islands – a fantastic holiday in a paradise.

Canary Islands: useful tips

REMINDER FOR TOURIST

When you go on holiday in Tenerife, don’t be too lazy to take some warm clothes with you (for example, a light sweater): you will need them during trips to the mountains and climbing Mount Teide, where it can be cool.

In winter, the Teide is covered with snow, so it makes sense to take a thicker sweater.

At present, Spain is no more dangerous than any other country. The most serious problem is bag theft and pickpocketing. Therefore, we advise you not to carry large sums of money with you. If you intend to make a large purchase, do not put money in a lady’s handbag – it can be torn off by motorcyclist thieves passing by. Leave all valuables in the hotel safe.
When you check in, hotel employees may ask you for an identity card (passport) and write out the data necessary for registration from it, but under no pretext have the right to detain your documents.
If you are staying in a hotel, it is more economical to make phone calls from street booths or call centers. Hotels have the right to set mark-ups for telephone calls and are happy to use this right.
When making a long-distance car trip in Spain, try to plan your trip in such a way that you are on the road from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. At this time, the Spaniards are used to having lunch, and most autotourists (and, most importantly, truck drivers) will eat at roadside restaurants, and you can rush along almost empty roads with a breeze.
It is forbidden to take pictures at military bases, in the areas of military ports, police, military and government employees. If you want to take pictures of locals, ask permission first.
If you decide to have a bite to eat or something to drink in an unfamiliar city, do not rush to go to the first bar or restaurant that comes across. If there are no visitors at all, this is a clear sign that something is not quite right with the institution, and it is not popular with local residents. Possible reasons are food and drink fraud, hygiene problems, uncleanliness in settlements with visitors.
In a restaurant, you should round up the amount and add 5-10% to the waiter. The maid should be tipped the day after arrival, a few days later and before departure.
Arriving for a short time in a major Spanish city (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), it is better to move around it by public transport than by your own car or taxi. You will be able to spend more time seeing the sights of the city than in traffic jams. It is best to use the metro – this will allow you to be as close as possible to the purpose of your trip. If you intend to travel to several places, it is better to buy a ticket for 10 trips – each trip will cost you almost half the price. You can use a ticket for 10 trips not only on the metro, but also on buses. Approximately the same applies to urban transport in other major Spanish cities.
If a highway patrol stops you and asks you to take an alcohol test, never refuse the test, whether you have been drinking or not. Even if the test shows that the alcohol limit is exceeded, in the worst case, you will be subject to administrative punishment. Refusal to check is a criminal act with all the ensuing consequences.
Do not try to find public toilets in Spanish cities, they are practically non-existent, except perhaps at train stations and bus stations. Feel free to go to the nearest bar or restaurant. If there are several visitors in the institution, calmly go deeper into the room and look for the treasured door. If there are practically no visitors, you may have to order something first – a cup of coffee, a glass of beer or a soft drink.

Caleta de Fuste will celebrate this year the typical Sevillan fiesta with flamenco dance, music and beautiful floats. In the entire municipality of Antigua there are residents from many cultures, so it is important to celebrate diversity, especially when there’s music and dancing involved.

Good news for Caleta de Fuste this week: the famous restaurant La Frasquita will reopen soon, after being demolished due to works done to built the new maritime promenade – Paseo Marítimo de la Playa del Castillo.

As it was announced a few months back, Fuerteventura will become for the next few weeks one of the Star Wars planets, while Disney and Lucas Films will start filming for the new Star Wars movie.

La Palma volcano: eruption, tsunami warning and latest news | Canary Islands | Summary 15 december

The EU’s Copernicus Earth observation programme has released its latest update on the Cumbre Vieja eruption: the total surface area of land on La Palma that is covered by the lava flows now stands at 1,237.3 hectares. A total of 2,988 buildings have been affected by the eruption, Copernicus also says.

Longest eruption in history of La Palma

El País – The Cumbre Vieja’s 86 days of life made it the longest eruption in the history of the Canary Island, after exceeding the length of activity of Tehuya in 1585.

In terms of the entire archipelago, it is on a par with Tao (or del Clérigo) eruption on Lanzarote, which lasted 86 days in 1824. It is still, however, short of the eruption of Narices del Teide, in Tenerife (99 days in 1798), and the six years that the eruption of Timanfaya lasted in Lanzarote in 1730.

Christmas spirit in La Palma

Reuters – Volcanic ash and lumps of lava blasted out of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma have become part of Christmas nativity scene in a nearby church.

Domingo Guerra, the priest at Tajuya church, and Ruben Lopez, a geologist with the Spanish geographical institute, wanted to use volcanic debris for the nativity to mark the near three-month long eruption that has caused havoc for local residents.

La Palma volcano comes to stop: ‘It is not emitting lava, nor sulfur dioxide, nor registering seismic activity’

The activity of the volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma stopped completely on Tuesday, nearly three months after it first began to erupt. “It is not emitting lava, nor sulfur dioxide, nor is it registering any tremors or seismic activity,” sources from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) confirmed.

The same sources consider it “improbable” that it will restart its activity, but are not ruling that possibility out for now.

Cumbre Vieja remains silent
The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma was silent for a second day on Wednesday, raising hopes of an end to the three-month eruption, although experts remained cautious.

Seismic activity all but stopped late on Monday, the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute, Involcan, said. It is the longest period without tremors since the eruption began on 19 September.

“We can see now that the seismicity is very weak, the deformation is zero, the tremor is zero,” Ruben López, a geologist with the Spanish geographical institute, said.

“Now, with these parameters, we can see the volcano had stopped, and maybe we could start to see the end of the La Palma volcanic eruption.”

Emissions of sulphur dioxide, which had forced a lockdown of a third of the island’s population before the volcano went silent, were “extremely low” on Tuesday, Involcan said.

Still, experts from the eruption response committee have not ruled out a resumption of volcanic activity.

Copernicus working on 62nd (and final?) map
The EU’s Copernicus earth observatory has been issuing detailed maps of the La Palma eruption using satellite radar imagery, providing updates on the extent of the lava flows and the number of buildings affected. The last map issued showed an increase of 3.3 hectares in the four previous days and a further 14 buildings destroyed. With its latest map in production, we can expect to see practically zero in terms of lava coverage and hopefully no more buildings damaged, which will back the prevailing theory that the eruption is coming to an end.

Volcano monitoring continues

The situation appears to be coming to an end but experts on La Palma are playing it cautiously, knowing too well how temperamental Mother Nature can be.

La Palma volcano: experts say Cumbre Vieja eruption may be over

After devastation costing an estimated €1 billion in damages, the adverse activity from Cumbre Vieja appears to be over, according to experts.

It has now been more than 24 hours since any indication that the volcano is still active was registered, with volcanologists in agreement that a period of 48 hours with no indications of continued activity can be regarded as confirmation that the eruption has ceased.

“There is no lava emission, no sulfur dioxide, and no sign of any tremors or seismicity,” sources from the Spanish National Geographic Institute told EL PAÍS on Tuesday.

However, given previous lulls in activity on Cumbre Vieja, the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (Pevolca) is erring on the side of caution and will wait for a few days to announce a definitive end to the eruption.

Rob Train brings you the latest.

Volcano impact as situation settles

So far, there have been 1,628 buildings destroyed by the volcanic activity of Cumbre Vieja, while the Copernicus satellite calculates that 3,063 buildings have been affected in some way since the eruption began on 19 September 19.

This data comes from the latest report we have received from the Pevolca Scientific Committee.

Volcanic ash used in La Palma nativity scene

Volcanic ash and lumps of lava blasted out of our friend Cumbre Vieja have become part of Christmas nativity scene in a nearby church.

Domingo Guerra, the priest at Tajuya church, and Ruben Lopez, a geologist with the Spanish geographical institute, wanted to use volcanic debris for the nativity to mark the near three-month long eruption that has caused havoc for local residents.

We are yet to receive confirmation on reports that they will be singing ‘We wish you a Merry Christmash?’, ‘The hot lay of the lava’, and ‘All a vent for Christmas is you’. Sorry!

Twelve light earthquakes recorded

In the early hours of this morning, the seismic activity monitors had registered twelve earthquakes on La Palma, all of them with magnitudes lower than 3, so advised the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME).

Air quality in La Palma: good to fair

INVOLCAN authorities reported that lava continues to be emitted from volcanic tubes but production is at a much lower level compared to previous days.

The ash cloud has been moving in a south-south easterly direction which is not good news for La Palma’s airport. Air quality is fair in Los Llanos de Aridane and reasonably good in other parts of the island.

La Palma clean-up gets professional help

For residents on La Palma, cleaning up piles of ash from Cumbre Vieja volcano is a chore which has to be performed daily. A number of professional cleaning companies have been hired to help out mopping up public spaces. Bags of ash are taken to a deposit point in Los Llanos de Aridane.

Initially, the volcano spewed out small rocks but now the main problem is the fine, black ash which is much harder to collect and dispose of.

La Palma volcano ending? “It’s too early to tell”

The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma fell silent as constant tremors stopped late on Monday, though experts cautioned this did not necessarily mean the eruption is nearing an end after 85 days.

Seismic activity on the island all but stopped around 9 pm local time on Monday, The Canary Islands Volcanology Institute, Involcan, said on Tuesday. It’s the longest period without tremors since the eruption began.

“This does not imply the eruption is ending, since on other occasions halts were followed by a renewed increase in activity,” Involcan said on its twitter account.

It added footage of the Cumbre Vieja showing how the almost constant roaring of the volcano had ceased.

The eruption, which has sent rivers of molten lava running down the slopes of Cumbre Vieja for weeks, is the longest running on the Spanish Canary Island since records began in 1500.

The quiet on Monday evening and Tuesday morning followed the emission of dense toxic clouds of sulphur dioxide on Monday morning that prompted the lockdown of about a third of the island’s population.

Stavros Meletlidis, a volcanologist with the NationalGeographic Institute who has been following the eruption sinceit began, said there were multiple possible explanations andpointed out that pauses had been observed before.

Around a week after the eruption started, seismic activity suddenly dropped off for several hours before restarting with renewed vigour, a pattern that is not uncommon in the early stages of an eruption, he explained.

But after nearly three months of activity, the eruption is in a different phase and could be losing strength, he said. “The magma needs energy to get to the surface and it seems that it does not have it at the moment,” he said, explaining that could be due to a decline in levels of gases or magma volume as the eruption slowly loses force.

However, it could be the result of a blockage between subterranean magma chambers and the surface vent, in which case pressure would continue to build up until reaching critical mass and causing fresh explosions.

“It’s too early to tell if we’re entering a terminal phase,” he said.

Before declaring the eruption definitively over, scientists will be looking out for a period of at least 48 hours with no seismic activity or surface eruption, he added.

La Palma volcano blog: welcome

Good morning and welcome to our daily live blog for Wednesday 15 December 2021, offering the latest updates on the Cumbre Vieja volcano, which has now been erupting on the Spanish Canary island of La Palma for nearly three months.

We’ll keep you up-to-date on all the latest developments as well as share some of the spectacular images and footage from the site.

UNM’s VolCAN team makes history in Canary Islands : UNM Newsroom

When an interdisciplinary team from The University of New Mexico was awarded a four-year, $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation in 2020, the goal was to develop novel, bio-inspired software and drones to measure and sample volcanic gases.

One year later, the Project VolCAN team got a spectacular opportunity to do just that — and make history in the process by becoming what is believed to be one of the first research teams to collect uncontaminated gases from an active volcanic eruption.

In late-November, UNM’s team flew a drone into the erupting Cumbre Vieja volcano at La Palma Island in Spain’s Canary Islands. The eruption, which began in September and ended in late December, is the largest in Europe in 500 years. 

Since the fall, volcanic lava flows from Cumbre Vieja have destroyed more than 1,000 homes and covered significant parts of the Western side of the island with ash.  The continuous emission of ash from the volcano has resulted in frequent closing of the airport, which along with high sulfur dioxide and aerosol concentrations in the air, makes for hazardous conditions. Frequent earthquakes add to the mix of nature displaying its power. 

It is a dramatic and devastating occurrence but was a rare and perfect opportunity for the VolCAN team to put its resources to the test, so they did just that — navigating all the physical and bureaucratic hoops to make their way to the island with five drones and a handful of team members with the mission of collecting gas samples by flying drones into the volcano. The VolCAN team was one of several international research groups working on the eruption of Cumbre Vieja at the time.

“We got uncontaminated gas samples from the plume that told us where the magma causing the eruption was coming from. No one has ever been able to do that during an eruption before.” – Matthew Fricke, research assistant professor, computer science

As the research team directed the UNM-programmed autonomous drones into the gas plumes, they protected themselves from the noxious gases by donning military-grade gas masks. But their risky efforts were a success, becoming what is believed to be the first team to sample uncontaminated gases from an erupting volcano for later carbon isotope analyses. This resulted in a treasure trove of data to help better understand the course of the eruption.

“The robot missions couldn’t have gone better,” said Matthew Fricke, one of the principal investigators on the VolCAN project and a research assistant professor of computer science. “We got uncontaminated gas samples from the plume that told us where the magma causing the eruption was coming from. No one has ever been able to do that during an eruption before. That data allows us to try and forecast the duration and intensity of the eruption.”

The research team directed UNM-programmed autonomous drones into the gas plumes to sample uncontaminated gases from an erupting volcano for later carbon isotope analyses.

After collecting the gases, the team made CO₂ concentration transects of the plume and obtained video footage of the eruption. These gas samples were analyzed for carbon isotopes in collaboration with and using instrumentation of the local scientists on La Palma. The obtained data provides new insights into the nature and depth of the magma source in near real-time. This information, together with other data collected by numerous scientists from local and international institutions, will result in forecasts about the ongoing and future volcanic activity.

VolCAN is a collaboration between the School of Engineering (Departments of Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering) and Earth and Planetary Sciences. It is led by Fricke, Melanie Moses and Jared Saia, faculty in the Department of Computer Science; Tobias Fischer, a professor and Scott Nowicki a Research Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences; Rafael Fierro, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and John Ericksen, a research assistant in computer science.

The meshing of various disciplines — ranging from experts in volcano activity, theoretical algorithms, environmental monitoring, drones and sensors — allows the team to accomplish far more than they could do on their own, team members said.

Fischer, a professor of earth and planetary sciences, specializes in volcanology with an emphasis on active volcanism. He keeps up on active volcanoes around the world and is always looking for new ways to analyze emitted gases and particularly CO₂ levels, which give important clues into the intensity and likely duration of a volcano. Fischer said the VolCAN project came together around 2017 after he read about Melanie Moses’ work in the NASA Swarmathon, which involves programming robotic vehicles to communicate and interact as a collective swarm. When he learned about the “swarmies,” he immediately imagined the possibilities of a collaborative project involving volcanoes.

The swarm consists of multiple autonomous aerial drones that use algorithms inspired by biology to monitor the unpredictable environments surrounding volcanoes. This project will develop, analyze and rigorously test a co-robot swarm of unpiloted air vehicles (UAVs) that collect valuable scientific data in dynamic and unpredictable environments.  The VolCAN swarm will use bio-inspired algorithms to detect CO₂ plumes, descend plume gradients to measure maximum flux of CO₂  from ground sources, estimate plume size and infer maps of multiple CO₂ sources over hundreds of square kilometers.  

“The collaboration is driving the progress,” Fischer said. “We would have never been able to do this kind of sensing work on our own.”

The UNM team also collaborated with Professor Einat Lev (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) and her Ph.D. student Janine Birnbaum to measure lava flow rates with drones to inform their computational models. The team also said the expedition to La Palma could not have succeeded without the help, guidance and collaborative partnership from Eleazar Padron, Luca D’Auria,  Nemesio Perez, Pedro Hernandez Perez and Pepe Barrancos Martinez of the El Centro Nacional de Volcanología o Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN), Unidad Militar de  Emergencias, flight coordinator and Jonathan Rodriguez.

There are an estimated 500 volcanoes that emit volcanic gases to the atmosphere around the world, so there are many future expeditions the VolCAN team could make. In addition to monitoring gasses that precede volcanic eruptions, thereby protecting human lives, it will also measure how much carbon dioxide is emitted from volcanoes to better understand how they contribute to the global carbon budget. The VolCAN swarm can adapt to environmental conditions autonomously in real-time, and it can also be guided by scientists to collect scientific data during the battery-limited flights of small drones, Fricke said.

“Our approach leverages the advantages of bio-inspired algorithms that are fast rather than perfectly accurate, and resilient rather than centrally controlled,” Fricke said.

MADRID — Authorities on one of Spain’s Canary Islands declared a volcanic eruption that started in September officially finished Saturday following 10 days of no lava flows, seismic activity or significant sulfur dioxide emissions.

But the emergency in La Palma, the most northwest island in the Atlantic Ocean archipelago, is not over due to the widespread damage the eruption caused, the director of the Canaries’ volcanic emergency committee said in announcing the much-anticipated milestone.

“It’s not joy or satisfaction – how we can define what we feel? It’s an emotional relief. And hope,” Pevolca director Julio Pérez said. “Because now, we can apply ourselves and focus completely on the reconstruction work.”

Fiery molten rock flowing down toward the sea destroyed around 3,000 buildings, entombed banana plantations and vineyards, ruined irrigation systems and cut off roads. But no injuries or deaths were directly linked to the eruption.

Pérez, who is also the region’s minister of public administration, justice and security, said the archipelago’s government valued the loss of buildings and infrastructure at more than 900 million euros ($1 billion).

Volcanologists said they needed to certify that three key variables – gas, lava and tremors – had subsided in the Cumbre Vieja ridge for 10 days in order to declare the volcano’s apparent exhaustion. Since the eruption started on Sept. 19, previous periods of reduced activity were followed by reignitions.

On the eve of Dec. 14, the volcano fell silent after flaring for 85 days and 8 hours, making it La Palma’s longest eruption on record.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the eruption’s end “the best Christmas present.”

A volcano woke up in the Canary Islands – Gazeta.ru

September 20, 2021, 09:59
Photo reports

On the Spanish island of La Palma in the Atlantic Ocean, where 85 thousand citizens live and the populated areas of Cabeza de Vaca and El Paso are located, a volcano erupted on the Cumbre Vieja ridge, this was preceded by over 25 thousand tremors and an earthquake with a strength of 4.2 points. The last time this volcano was so active was in 1917.

This time, lava flows have destroyed nearby settlements and threaten to reach the coast. There is a mandatory mass evacuation of people in the region (more than 1.7 thousand people were sent to a safe place), the Spanish authorities also recommend that airlines stop flights to three Canary Islands – Palma, Gomera and Hierro. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was forced to postpone his working trip to the UN General Assembly in New York.

The European Commission has presented a plan to save Europe from energy collapse and social tensions this winter. The proposed measures bring back market Europe to the 1970s and 1980s, when electricity prices were centrally regulated rather than market-set. The European Commission, which has fought fiercely for decades both in the EU and in Ukraine, has itself proposed putting a ceiling on the profits of energy companies.

The Fuego volcano in Guatemala began to erupt

Volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands (Palma Island) will last from 24 to 84 days, said the Canaries Institute of Volcanology.

“The answer to this difficult question (the duration of the eruption – approx. VIEW) can be obtained based on the information we have regarding historical eruptions on the island of Palma. It would be acceptable to assume the existence of a period of eruptions from 24 to 84 days with an average duration of 55 days, ”RIA Novosti quotes the message from the institute.

The researchers gave a table of six previously known volcanic eruptions on this island. The longest of these lasted 84 days, this is the oldest known eruption of Teuia volcano on the island, it occurred in 1585. The awakening of the Tenegia volcano in 1971 ended after 24 days.

Boris Burda, who fled from Ukraine, spoke about the situation in his homeland

A connoisseur of the television club “What? Where? When?” and a participant in other mind games, Ukrainian TV presenter Boris Burda, who is currently in Spain, said that “terrible things” are happening in his homeland.

Burda is from Odessa, since the beginning of the special operation he has not commented on the events in Ukraine. The day before the start of the NWO, Burda left for Spain, where he remains now.

In an interview on the YouTube platform (violating the laws of the Russian Federation), Burda said that “terrible and extremely dangerous things” are happening in Ukraine. He believes that the current situation cannot end in anything good, Moskovsky Komsomolets reports his words.

Burda emphasized that all this represents “one misfortune” and “one minus”. He admits that he sincerely would like the situation to end, and end well. The TV presenter believes that any other desires are now “so petty and uninteresting” that he is even embarrassed to talk about them.

However, Burda is convinced that what is happening in Ukraine does not at all demonstrate the real state of relations between the peoples of the two countries. At the same time, the TV presenter lays the blame for the conflict on Russia.

Recall that in the spring, another participant in the television game “What? Where? When?” – Rovshan Askerov, against whom a criminal case was initiated in Russia on the rehabilitation of Nazism: in early April, Askerov posted deliberately false information on his social networks, insulting and discrediting the memory of the great Soviet commander and defender of the Fatherland, Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov. According to media reports, Askerov left Russia. In May, the Basmanny Court arrested Askerov in absentia.

State Duma deputy, publicist Anatoly Wasserman named Askerov’s entourage and character as the culprits of his misdeeds.

Russia launched a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called the purpose of the special operation “the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.” According to the head of state, the special operation averted a real danger that hung over Russia.

Zelensky got into an accident in Kyiv

The car of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as escort vehicles, got into an accident in Kyiv, said the press secretary of the head of state Sergei Nikiforov.

Nikiforov reported on social networks that “in Kyiv there was a collision of a passenger car with the car of the President of Ukraine and escort vehicles. ” According to the press secretary, “the doctors who accompany” Zelensky “provided emergency assistance to the driver of the car and handed him over to an ambulance.

According to Nikiforov, Zelensky “was examined by a doctor, no serious injuries were found.” “All the circumstances of the accident will be clarified by law enforcement officers,” RIA Novosti quotes the words of the press secretary.

Recall that on the eve of Zelensky published photos from the city of Izyum, Kharkiv region. One of the photos published by Zelensky from Izyum shows a Ukrainian serviceman. He stands with his back to Zelensky, he has the emblem of the SS division “Totenkopf” on his back.

In Ukraine, they announced a blow to a pumping station in Krivoy Rog

A missile attack was carried out on the hydraulic structures of Krivoy Rog, said Kirill Tymoshenko, deputy head of the office of Vladimir Zelensky.

The head of Zelensky’s office Andriy Yermak also confirmed the blows. In addition, after hits in the Ingulets River, “the water level has risen sharply, the pumping station may be damaged, and in some places there is no mobile communication in the city,” said Alexei Goncharenko, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, RIA Novosti reports.

It is noted that Krivoy Rog is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Later, the mayor of Kryvyi Rih, Alexander Vilkul, wrote in his social networks that the missile attack had hit “one of the city’s hydrotechnical infrastructure facilities.”

New footage of the consequences of a missile attack on Krivoy Rog is being published on the Web: pontoon crossings are washed away due to the rise in the water level in the Ingulets River, and the dam on the Karachunovsky reservoir is also damaged.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed information about power outages in a number of regions of the country. According to him, a complete power outage occurred in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, partial – in Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Sumy regions. According to military correspondents, as a result of night strikes on power generation facilities, two thermal power plants were badly damaged, which caused a crisis in energy supply in a number of regions of Ukraine.

The VZGLYAD newspaper wrote that Russia has shown its readiness to take tough measures against Ukraine.

Russia is about to throw “rules-based order” into the dustbin of history

Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov warned against supplying Ukraine with missiles capable of hitting Russian cities, and also called for the American “rules-based order” to be thrown into the dustbin of history.

Antonov expressed his concern over the fact that “Ukraine has been seeking supplies of ATACMS operational-tactical missiles for many months, which are designed to strike targets at a distance of up to 300 km,” RIA Novosti reports.

According to him, “if Kyiv receives such weapons, large Russian cities, industrial and transport infrastructure facilities will fall into the area of possible destruction. The ambassador pointed out that the Ukrainian troops regularly “violate the norms of humanitarian law, even in those territories that were considered part of Ukraine.” “Look how many swastikas and Nazi symbols are on Ukrainian military equipment,” he said.

As Antonov emphasized, “if this happens in relation to the DPR and LPR, then, obviously, if these warriors have long-range American missiles, they will use them without hesitation” against Russian territory, and “such a scenario would mean direct involvement of the United States in the military opposition.”

Antonov believes that “Washington’s inciting Kyiv against Russia” is “an obvious fact.” If the United States “accepts all the crazy requests” of Kyiv, it “will not lead to real changes on the fronts,” he assured, adding that “only naive, short-sighted politicians who know little of history can talk about victory over Russia on the battlefield. ”

At the same time, the ambassador stressed that “we are no longer talking about defensive, but about offensive weapons,” since “fighters, long-range missile systems, tanks have never been considered defensive weapons.” Antonov said the US was “increasingly drawn into the abyss of the Ukrainian crisis” and “inciting alliance partners.”

Antonov pointed out that “there is no talk about the need to start negotiations today,” if they are heard, “either in a whisper or through gritted teeth,” but there are loud calls for “more weapons, hit harder on the allied forces.”

“Allegedly, the current situation gives Ukraine the best negotiating positions, no matter what their cost. The main goal is to defeat Russia by any means, and subsequently prevent it from playing a key role in the international arena. And if possible, dismember it into parts,” the ambassador said.

He stated that Russia, in response, must “continue to work, support the army and navy in carrying out tasks. ” “We have no doubt that we will achieve victory,” he said. Diplomats will also continue to work “despite threats and provocations,” Antonov said. “The task is to achieve cementing the foundations of a multipolar world order, throwing the American “rules-based order” into the dustbin of history,” Antonov said.

Recall that Russia has repeatedly criticized Western countries for trying to replace the UN Charter and the existing norms of international law with the so-called “rules-based” world order.

The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that the West is trying to replace the established world order with some secretly developed rules and impose them on other countries, but Russia will not tolerate a mentoring tone towards itself. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the “rules-based order” promoted by Western countries is based on double standards.

In the Kherson region, they announced the repulse of the attack of the Ukrainian landing

The attack of the Ukrainian landing through the territory of the Kinburn Spit from the Black Sea to Kherson and the region was repelled, said the deputy head of the regional administration Kirill Stremousov.

“Literally early in the morning, some paratroopers, they call themselves marines … [tried] to penetrate the territory of the Kinburn Spit, it’s from the side of the Black Sea and go [to the Kherson region], but the attack was stopped, the Nazis were destroyed” , – Stremousov said on the air of Solovyov Live. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.

Stremousov clarified that during an attempt to land troops on the Kinburn Spit in the Nikolaev region, about 120 Ukrainian soldiers were killed.

“No one landed in the Iron Port, they landed exclusively in the Ochakov area on the Kinburn Spit, this spit is part of the Nikolaev region, and there it is five kilometers to Ochakov, so they had such an opportunity, but they were immediately noticed and destroyed,” he added.

“It was a senseless action, they were immediately noticed,” the deputy head of the regional administration emphasized.

“Any approaches to the Kinburn Spit are completely controlled by us and it is unrealistic to go unnoticed,” he added.

The day before, the Ministry of Defense published video footage of Ka-52 helicopters attacking the amphibious troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which crossed the Dnieper in the area of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.

On September 11, the Ministry of Defense reported that the military personnel of the Airborne Forces destroyed an infantry unit of the armed forces of Ukraine during a special operation.

An expert explained the benefits of strikes on the hydrotechnical infrastructure of Krivoy Rog

“From a military point of view, changing the terrain, destroying pontoon crossings and creating obstacles to supplying an enemy grouping is a normal practice. Apparently, this is what we saw in the areas of the Ingulets River, ”political analyst Ivan Lizan told the VZGLYAD newspaper, commenting on the missile attack on hydraulic structures in the Krivoy Rog region.

“The attack on the Karachunovskaya dam was carried out purely within the framework of military logic – the enemy is advancing, and we are changing the terrain. From the reservoir, the water went into the Ingulets River, on which the armed forces of Ukraine built pontoon crossings to the south in order to transfer their troops from the Nikolaev region to the part of the Kherson region controlled by us, ”the source said.

“Now, due to the destruction of the dam, the water in Ingulets has risen and washed away several crossings. This means that we will have the opportunity to drive the enemy out of the bridgehead he had previously occupied, taking advantage of the fact that they will not be able to receive reinforcements, ”he added.

“As for the general assessment of attacks on critical infrastructure, this is a normal tactic in a military environment. It is Russia that is conducting a special military operation, without martial law inside the country and mobilization, but for the LPR and DPR, this is a war. At the same time, for Ukraine, this is a total war without any rules, in which they also hit dams on the Irpen River and hit hydraulic structures in other regions, ”the political scientist argues.

“Besides, it seems to me that we have finally removed the moral block on such blows. The recent damage to Ukraine’s energy system was, in fact, therapeutic. The same applies to the current strike, ”the source added.

“Today, the entire energy system of the country is on the verge of shutting down and at any moment a blackout can occur, from which Ukraine will not come out on its own. Even without the help of the Russian Armed Forces, cold weather and an increase in energy consumption can finally finish off the country’s energy sector. Now a new problem for the Ukrainian authorities is the flooded territories in Krivoy Rog, but while they are somehow coping with this task, work is underway, ”the expert believes.

“The political consequences of such strikes are also important. If earlier the Ukrainian authorities allowed themselves to nightmare the infrastructure of Donbass, Berdyansk and Melitopol, believing that they could get away with everything, now, I hope, this is in the past,” the political scientist recalled.

The day before, the deputy head of Vladimir Zelensky’s office, Kirill Tymoshenko, said that a missile attack had been carried out on the hydraulic structures of Krivoy Rog. Andriy Yermak, the head of Zelensky’s office, also confirmed the blows. In addition, after hits in the Ingulets River, “the water level has risen sharply, a pumping station may be damaged, and there is no mobile communication in places in the city,” said Alexei Goncharenko, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada.

Prigozhin’s company reacted to a video with a “monstrously similar” person to him

The press service of Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin’s company Concord commented on a video with a person who looked like him, noting a “monstrous” resemblance.

“Indeed, we can confirm that the person in the video is monstrously similar to Evgeny Viktorovich. Judging by his rhetoric, he somehow deals with the implementation of the tasks of the special operation, and it seems that he is successfully doing this. In addition (…) the person in the video has a very well-delivered speech, just like Evgeny Viktorovich. And a person who looks like Yevgeny Viktorovich very intelligibly explains simple, understandable things to ordinary people, ”the Concorde message on the VKontakte social network page says.

The message states that Prigozhin is currently on a business trip.

Earlier, a video appeared on the Web with a man who looked like Prigozhin. The video was taken from what looked like a correctional facility yard, and the man in the video says he is a representative of the Wagner group and describes the conditions of working for them in exchange for a pardon.

Recall that Prigozhin’s Concord company informed that the businessman had nothing to do with the Wagner group, “does not finance and does not monitor information about their location.”

Voenkor Sladkov proposed two methods of training “strong commanders”

The special military operation in Ukraine should be used to increase the number of “strong field commanders,” said Russian journalist Alexander Sladkov, suggesting “two training methods. ”

Sladkov explained in Telegram that he “invests in this concept such qualities as combat experience, the desire to fight, the desire for professional and personnel growth, a high level of evaluation of the VVK (military medical commission).”

In his opinion, “two methods of training selected candidates for officer positions and ranks” should be applied. The first is “three-month courses for junior lieutenants with subsequent appointment to the positions of platoon commanders.” The second one is “accelerated higher officer education (a year of training, a year of military operations, two years of graduation and a diploma (this form was in the All-Russian Institute of Foreign Languages).”

“Facilities here and there: combined arms, artillery, tank, reconnaissance, engineering and sapper,” he added, stating that “it is necessary to launch urgently.”

Russia launched a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine on February 24. A number of political conditions have been put forward to the Kyiv authorities: the legislative consolidation of the non-bloc status of Ukraine with a complete ban on the deployment of NATO military bases and strike weapons systems on its territory, the trial of Nazi criminals who have committed crimes against citizens of Ukraine and Donbass in recent years, the recognition of Crimea as Russian, and the DPR and LPR – independent states. Later, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the geographical objectives of the special military operation had changed, now it is not only about the LPR and the DPR.

It became known about problems with payments with the Mir card in Turkey

In Turkey, some hotels have stopped accepting Mir card payments, representatives of two local hotel chains said, they claim to be following the order of the Turkish Central Bank.

According to the TourDom portal, the hotels specified that they received a message from the management: “Dear colleagues, I inform you that Mir cards are no longer accepted in our hotels. This is due to the introduction of this rule by the Central Bank of Turkey.”

It is noted that due to the threat of sanctions in these networks (their names are not given), Ziraat Bankasi, Is Bank, DenizBank and VakifBank, with which the hotels cooperate, no longer make payments using MIR cards. In other hotels, they answered the request that they had not yet introduced any restrictions on accepting Russian cards.

At the same time, a portal source in Turkey confirmed that there are problems with payments and cash withdrawals from Russian cards, but in a completely different bank. “Vakif suspended work with cards of Sberbank, Alfa-Bank and other financial institutions that fell under sanctions. But Mir works at Halkbank and Ziraat Bank,” he told the publication.

It is noted that there were no problems with the cards of Rosbank and Tinkoff.

Readers of the publication’s Telegram channel report that if problems do arise, they do not differ from those previously reported.

“Just came back, they accepted cards everywhere: shops, stalls, at the hotel, payment for excursions. I didn’t experience any problems, ”says Dmitry.

“And on September 10, 11, and 12, they paid with the Mir card in Turkey. Tinkoff is accepted everywhere. Only Sberbank, Alfa, and VTB fail to pay, another tourist comments.

“The Turks themselves are already asking. If Sberbank, then hang up, ”said Marina.

At the same time, there are reviews of tourists who claim that Sberbank is also accepted.

“People, don’t create a panic, please. Let’s panic if Tinkoff stops working!” jokes Kate.

If there is a problem with card payments, tourists are advised to withdraw cash lira from ATMs.

Earlier it was reported that Cuba began to accept bank cards of the Russian payment system “Mir”.

Putin and the President of Iran laughed at the US and the EU

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke ironically about the policies pursued by Western countries. At a meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Samarkand on Thursday, the Russian leader criticized the United States and the European Union for inconsistency.

Raisi, during a conversation with the Russian leader, noted that Iran never leaves and will not leave the negotiating table, but the United States, according to him, is incapable of negotiating and “violates all obligations.” “And, of course, everyone was convinced that the European Union is also in a passive situation – they are also unable to fulfill their promises,” the Iranian President stressed.

“Masters of your word. If they want, they give, if they want, they take,” Putin said, addressing his counterpart, after Raisi delivered a whole rebuke to Western countries, TASS reports.

After translating this pun into Farsi, the presidents laughed together and continued their negotiations.

Putin said earlier that Russia is very pleased with the imminent accession of Iran to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Kherson authorities reported that large forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were gathering to the village of Kiselevka

Kyiv is gathering forces to the village of Kiselevka, located on the highway between Kherson and Nikolaev, because for him the cherished goal is the regional center – Kherson, said the deputy head of the administration of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov.

“They really pull together great forces. Let me explain: because Kherson is the most cherished goal for them. <...> Nobody is going to hand over Kherson to anyone, no matter how much they bring forces to the Kherson region,” he said on the air of the Solovyov Live TV channel, RIA Novosti reports.

Stremousov said that the armed forces of Ukraine are building up forces on the line of contact, but they did not penetrate the territory of the Kherson region. “They are constantly building up their strength, but I’ll say it again: every time I go to Kiselevka, every time it is captured on the Internet. <...> Kherson region, as it was on its borders, remains so. No one penetrated the area, as they say, Sukhoi Stovka, Davydov Brod, near Kiselevka, this is simply not true,” he said.

On Wednesday, Stremousov said that the allied forces repulsed attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to advance in the Kherson region near the villages of Davydov Brod and Kiselevka at night. Earlier, the Ukrainian media announced the capture of this settlement, but these allegations were refuted.

During a special operation, the Russian Armed Forces took control of the Kherson region and the Azov part of the Zaporozhye region in southern Ukraine. The circulation of the ruble has begun in the regions, the hryvnia is being withdrawn from circulation, Russian TV channels and radio stations are broadcasting. Both regions announced plans to become part of Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 25 signed a decree on simplified admission to Russian citizenship of residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of Ukraine. In addition, Russian birth certificates are issued in the regions.

Finland confiscated Russian-related assets worth almost EUR 190 million

The assets of Russian individuals and legal entities against which the EU imposed sanctions were confiscated, in the amount of about 189million euros, according to the bailiff service of Finland.

We are talking about shares, real estate, transport, money in bank accounts. Considering that the confiscation of assets worth 80 million euros was reported in the summer months, the amount of seized assets more than doubled over the summer months, TASS reports citing MTV3.

Recall that Western countries staged a real hunt for the private property of Russian businessmen. In addition, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Western countries have frozen about half, or about $300 billion, of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the freezing of Central Bank assets in the West a theft.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree introducing a temporary procedure for fulfilling foreign exchange obligations under bank deposit agreements and obligations under bonds issued by foreign organizations. Russian banks can now suspend transactions with businesses in the currency of the country in which the assets were frozen. Including the transfer and issuance of funds can be frozen.

Real estate in the Canary Islands is in high demand even during the pandemic, which is reflected in high prices during this period. “Despite Covid-19, prices in the real estate market in the Canary Islands are stable, and the growing excess demand leads to their increase. Demand is mainly growing due to foreign buyers who are looking for a home for permanent residence or for holidays. The pandemic has brought the focus of potential buyers to spacious villas and modern new developments with large open space and the opportunity to organize a home office and spend free time at home,” says Juan Galo Macià, CEO of Engel & Völkers in Spain , Portugal and Andorra.

In the most sought-after areas Costa Adeje will increase demand and, consequently, prices will rise,” says Juan Galo Macia.

Canaries – a dead end for migrants

The port of Tenerife in the Canary Islands is a major tourist center. But it also accepts other kinds of travelers.

Every night, police and security guards ensure that migrants cannot get into trucks before being loaded onto merchant ships bound for the continent.

We try to guarantee the safety of all concerned, especially migrants. Their final destination is Europe, they will do anything to leave the islands, even at the cost of their lives

Juan Ignacio Liano

Representative of Fred. Olsen Express

Most of them are sent back inland, where the largest reception center for migrants in the Spanish archipelago is located. The media are not allowed inside. But the mood here is gloomy. A makeshift camp was set up right in front of the gate.

“It’s a symbol,” says Roberto, a local who comes here to lend a helping hand to those who, he says, have nothing.

They wanted to protest the bad conditions inside. They have been in the Canary Islands for several months now, and no one is saying what will happen to them next. Some have passports, official asylum requests and letters of invitation from family members who can take them in. But even with these documents they are not allowed to pass. They turned the Canary Islands into a European prison

Roberto Mesa

Tenerife Migrant Assembly

Over 20,000 people reached the Canary Islands last year. All of them made a dangerous journey across the Atlantic Ocean from the northern coast of Africa. Many of them were forced to check into hotels on Gran Canaria, the main island, as migrant reception centers were overcrowded. Since then, tourist resorts have emptied as thousands have been repatriated or still managed to make it to the continent.

The remaining ones are in a difficult situation due to the lockdown.

Calvin and Unntowe run several businesses on the island and have decided to keep their doors open to a few dozen young people.

Usman arrived from Senegal 7 months ago. His dream is to give the family a future. Usman never misses a language course at the hotel. He is waiting for a response to his asylum application. Like most here, he dreams of moving to the continent.

I am asking Europeans to help us get to the Spanish mainland in search of work. I am sure that sooner or later I will win my future. I will never lose faith

Ousmane Ndiaye

asylum seeker

To help these young people achieve a better life and a chance to integrate, the couple who took them under their wing set up the Canaria Mama Africa Foundation. So the guests call the woman who they call their second mother.

I see only two solutions to the problem before us. I understand that expulsion is one of those solutions. But integration is also a very important part of it. Therefore, I would advise us to work more productively on both solutions. But doing nothing is not a solution, because then people will live on the street, and this will become another problem

Calvin Lucock

hotel manager, co-founder of Canaria Mama Africa

Too big of a problem for some of the local population. Alex is a member of the Spanish far-right Vox party. He regularly receives complaints from residents who say their lives are being interfered with by intruders.

Every time you leave the house, they can catch you, they can rob you, they can rape you and so on… We are not used to living like this. It’s just a hopeless situation1141

local

Tensions peaked a few months ago when residents reported attacks on migrants near a former school converted into a reception center for migrants. Since then, everything has calmed down.

But, according to Alex, both the Spanish state and the European Union should take more decisive steps to avoid such situations.

The first thing we must demand is an end to human trafficking and the redirection of migrant ships. On the other hand, using us to prevent immigrants from leaving for Europe and to keep everyone in the Canary Islands is not an option. All this will lead to is a huge waste of public funds from the pockets of taxpayers, while there are no jobs here in the Canary Islands

Alexis Julius Bosse

member of the VOX party

According to the representative of the Spanish government in the Canary Islands, the European Pact on Migration and Asylum has not yet been implemented.

Europe cannot look at border areas as if it were only their problem. This is a European problem. And if there is a territory whose possibilities have been exhausted, and where this gives rise to social problems, given that the economic crisis also exists in the Canary Islands, Europe must show solidarity

Anselmo Pestana Pardón

Delegate of the Government of Spain in the Canary Islands

Fearing repatriation, many have left the reception centers and live on the streets of the administrative center of Las Palmas.

La Rayita es un mirador para aventureros habidos de vistas alucinantes.

. . .

Igual que la CDMX, Monterrey también se encuentra rodeada de cerros al grado de que se le ha apodado “La Ciudad de las Montañas”. Con varias formaciones rocosas inmensas, claro que hay miles de entusiastas del montañismo, el trekking y el senderismo.

El parque La Huasteca también es una antesala para estos aventureros, ya que se encuentra en Santa Catarina junto al cauce del río, entre el Cerro de Chipinque y el Cerro de Santa Catarina, que forman parte del parque nacional Cumbres de Monterrey.

En este parque se puede observar la presencia de flora y fauna originaria de la región seca-semidesértica del noreste de México, además de lechuguillas, una especie de agave y otras cactáceas. También hay yucas, arbustos medianos y algunos tipos de árboles como el Huizache. La fauna del lugar está compuesta principalmente por animales pequeños de zonas semideserticas o del bosque ya que esta área se encuentra muy cerca de las zonas de bosque mixto y de coníferas de la Sierra Madre Oriental.

En octubre de 2006 la UNESCO declaró a esta zona como reserva de la biosfera, y para subir a estas cumbres regias se necesita una gran condición física, contar con el día entero y no exponerse a las condiciones extremas de calor y el clima en general que suele ser extremo.

El diminutivo de “La rayita” no le quita lo extraordinario que es esta cima. De hecho, para llegar a la parte más alta y apreciar un paisaje maravilloso, hay que subir doscientos cuarenta metros de desnivel, un sendero rocoso con algunos cactus, arbustos y lechuguillas.

Hay pequeñas escaladas pero en general, si no paras para nada, te llevará 40 minutos conquistar la raya; se dice que es sencillo y seguro, así que puedes ir tanto de día como de noche ya que el paisaje nocturno te dejará asombrado.

Se le dice “Rayita” ya que es una vereda que da la impresión de línea casi recta que se percibe desde su inicio y final. Conforme se avanza, el panorama de la ciudad se va forjando hasta llegar a una vista en verdad espectacular.

Este sendero se inicia en la autopista de cuota Santa Catarina-Ramos Arizpe, por el lado de Morones Prieto y termina en la cima de la montaña. Tiene un longitud de 700 metros aprox., pero un alto grado de inclinación. Lo agreste del camino hace preferible no llevar poles ya que es necesario trepar usando las manos.

Los expertos en rutas y tours en este tipo de escenarios rocosos, suelen aconsejar que si no se dispone de gran condición física, ni del tiempo suficiente mejor postergues el ascenso, ya que puede ser peligroso no atender los senderos con el tiempo suficiente. Asimismo, se recomienda que si no se cuenta con ropa y equipo especial para montaña, mejor se inicie en alternativas más sencillas en Nuevo León.

De hecho, Monterrey cuenta con cumbres y miradores de fácil y rápido acceso. En este mirador hay que tener algo de experiencia, sobre todo en el ascenso. No desesperarse en la subida, ya que las pendientes en cualquier cerro suelen ser traicioneras.

MXCity

Las WSOP o World Series of Poker atrae cada vez más jugadores de todas partes del mundo. México también tiene aficionados al poker, de hecho, tiene jugadores notables que se destacan en la Elite del Poker Mundial.

Las WSOP o Series Mundiales de Poker son uno de los eventos más importantes del mundo del poker, además de que reúne uno de los mayores premios que se pueden ganar jugando al póker, que, actualmente, es de 10 millones de dólares. Por lo tanto, no es un dato menor considerar que el talento de los jugadores de poker mexicanos está al nivel de esta categoría e incluso ha permitido que consiguieran brazaletes en los eventos principales.

A continuación, les vamos a contar cuáles son algunos de los jugadores que triunfaron en esta competencia y que demostraron tener un muy buen nivel competitivo a lo largo de los años. Así como también les vamos a comentar qué resultados consiguieron los jugadores mexicanos en las Series Mundiales de Póker de 2022.

Los brazaletes de las WSOP
Las Series Mundiales de Poker están conformadas por varios eventos en los que se van entregando pozos de premios acumulados y, finalmente, hay un evento principal en el que se enfrentan los ganadores de sucesivas series anteriores para determinar quién se lleva el premio mayor. Como ya lo mencionamos, ese premio mayor es de 10 millones de dólares, pero en los eventos de categorías inferiores se puede ganar desde decenas de miles de dólares hasta cientos de miles de dólares. Así como cada ganador de un evento puede conseguir un brazalete.

Por lo tanto, ganar un brazalete implica que ese jugador es mejor que el resto en esa categoría. Desde que se realizan las WSOP, sólo jugadores de 67 nacionalidades han ganado un brazalete al menos una vez. De manera que así se comprueba que es un logro difícil de obtener.

Ganadores de brazaletes mexicanos
En lo que respecta a los jugadores de nacionalidad mexicana que han ganado brazaletes, en toda la historia de las WSOP sólo 3 jugadores han ganado 4 brazaletes. Teniendo en cuenta a escala global que los jugadores estadounidenses reúnen en total unos 1269 brazaletes, esta puede parecer una cifra menor.

Los 3 jugadores mexicanos que consiguieron brazaletes en las WSOP son los siguientes:

Victoriano Perches: Este jugador llegó a cobrar un total de USD 382 000 en cobros de sus participaciones en los encuentros anteriores. Además de que ganó 1 brazalete en las Series Mundiales. De esta manera, se convirtió en el 8° jugador que ganó la mayor suma en la historia del poker de México.

Ángel Guillén: Este es otro de los jugadores que ganó 1 brazalete en las WSOP. En total, cobró unos USD 2 055 230, lo que lo ubica en el 3° puesto de jugadores más ganadores de la historia.

José Luis Velador: Este jugador lleva cobrados hasta la fecha unos USD 2 197 403, lo que lo convierte en el 2° jugador más ganador de la historia de México. Además de que ganó 2 brazaletes en las WSOP. Su primer brazalete lo ganó en octubre de 2001. Su segundo brazalete lo ganó en junio de 2008. Y, en la actualidad, participó de la edición número 53 de las WSOP.

¿Cómo resultaron los mexicanos en esta última edición de las WSOP 2022?
El mejor jugador de la serie fue José Manuel Nadal, que terminó en el puesto 39 del evento Pot Omaha Limit, lo que lo dejó en la zona de cobros y le otorgó un premio de USD 40 900. Por lo tanto, se podría decir que tuvo un desempeño bastante bueno. Aunque no equipara al que los mexicanos en otras series anteriores.

En total, hubo unos 15 jugadores de nacionalidad mexicana que participaron de las WSOP 2022. Aparte de Nadal, otros 2 jugadores también terminaron en las zonas de cobro. Uno de ellos fue Raúl Frías, que obtuvo un premio de USD 31 900. El otro jugador es Daniel Escobar, que obtuvo un premio de USD 19 000.

Hello Kitty Café Château está llena de nuevas experiencias que reflejan la esencia de la adorable gatita y sus amigos.

. . .

La CDMX tiene un nuevo mundo ma?gico dedicado 100% a Hello Kitty, se trata de Hello Kitty Café Château: La casa de verano de la gatita japonesa que recién abrió sus puertas al sur de la Ciudad de México, un restaurante temático pensado como la casa de campo del famoso personaje de Sanrio.

El Hello Kitty Café Château se encuentra a unos pasos del entorno boscoso que ofrece el Parque La Bombilla, en el barrio de San Ángel habita una gatita japonesa que mide “cinco manzanas”, cuyos colores inundan una casa floral con aires de antiguo castillo al sur de la Ciudad de México.

En este lugar lindo, agradable y lleno de dulzura, el moño se asoma en la fuente del patio, en la cima de los cupcakes y la espuma de un capuchino. Oficialmente es la segunda sucursal del Hello Kitty Café, el cual abrió por primera vez en México y Latinoamérica en invierno, durante el mes de diciembre de 2021, en un ambiente bastante distinto: Plaza Carso, en la colonia Polanco.

La gatita de Sanrio nacida en la década de los 70 ha impactado a varias generaciones y ahora se extiende por la metrópoli como un “sueño de verano”; para ello eligió al barrio de San Ángel, ese antiguo pueblo de estilo colonial rodeado de buganvilias, monasterios y edificios del siglo XVII.

La casa de piedra está adornada con flores rosa pastel en las paredes y los techos consiste en varios salones que rodean un patio donde se asoma una fuente de Hello Kitty; además, de vez en cuando una botarga la gatita saluda desde el balcón; cuenta con una tienda de regalos de artículos oficiales y ludoteca.

Es un proyecto de Carolina Castellanos y Mauricio García, también fundadores de Kochi Kochi Land, un lugar en el Centro de la CDMX donde venden postres kawaii y habían tenido previamente una colaboración con Sanrio.

El lugar cuenta con un amplio espacio al aire libre, y la idea de este sitio es que llegue a más personas y plantean un concepto distinto al de Polanco: mientras aquel ofrece un entorno más “citadino”, esta es la “casa de verano” de la gatita japonesa.

En este lugar puedes estar en un espacio rodeado de plantas, vegetación, árboles y, por supuesto, disfruta de la selección de repostería más especial y basada en hello Kitty, un menú de bebidas preparadas y coctelería sin alcohol, para lucir de la espectacular.

Asimismo, ofrecen una experiencia inmersiva en un espacio sensorial, un cuarto de espejos con luces y colores donde se observa la silueta de Hello Kitty. Es lugar ofrece desayunos, brunch, comidas, es una ampliación, huevos, un apartado de comida mexicana para comer chilaquiles, enmoladas, omelettes, comida saludable, vegetariana, sin gluten y bajas en azúcar.

Varias alcaldías de la Ciudad de México anunciaron que habrá ley seca para este 15 y 16 de septiembre, esto, con la finalidad de controlar el consumo y la compra de bebidas alcohólicas y así evitar desmanes o algún otro tipo de situación que tenga que ver con el abuso del alcohol. Cabe señalar que la Jefa de Gobierno, Claudia Sheinbaum, había anunciado que esta restricción no sería generalizada para toda la ciudad, sino que cada una de las 16 demarcaciones decidiría si aplicaban la ley o no.

Las alcaldías justificaron su decisión de prohibir la venta de alcohol durante las fiestas patrias, en la Gaceta Oficial de la Ciudad de México donde señalaron que “existe una relación de causa y efecto entre el consumo excesivo de bebidas alcohólicas y conductas violentas, en virtud de que ingerir de éste tipo de bebidas provoca una desinhibición en el comportamiento de las personas”.

Esta Ley Seca se implementará de 0:00 horas del día 15 de septiembre de 2022, hasta las 23:59 horas del día 16 de septiembre y no se permitirá la veta de alcohol en establecimientos mercantiles que operen como cantinas, pulquerías, bares, cervecerías, peñas, salas de cine con venta de vinos y licores, tiendas de autoservicio, tiendas, salones de baile, restaurantes y fondas.

Fue así que por medio de la Gaceta Oficial de la CDMX, varias alcaldías ya han anunciado la restricción en la venta de bebidas alcohólicas en los días de celebración por la Independencia de México, desde las 00:00 horas del jueves 15, hasta las 23:59 del viernes 16 de septiembre. Dichas alcaldías son:

El hundimiento de la CDMX tiene un gran impacto en la ciudad y sus consecuencias se hacen latentes cada día.

. . .

En 2010 la Ciudad de México se hundía entre ocho y 37 centímetros cada año, en promedio. En aquel entonces, la columna del Ángel de la Independencia cumplía 100 años, y se sabe que la escalinata tiene 10 peldaños que los originalmente construidos, debido a que todo alrededor se hunde, excepto la columna.

El Ángel es sólo un ejemplo de una ciudad que se hunde ya que se construyó sobre un suelo lacustre, y otros lugares de la CDMX se hunden más rápido que otras dejando rastros evidentes.

10 años después, se ha dicho que la CDMX se hunde casi 50 centímetros al año. Se trata de un estudio de “Over a Century of Sinking in Mexico City: No Hope for Significant Elevation and Storage Capacity Recovery” (Más de un siglo de hundimiento en la Ciudad de México: no hay esperanza de una elevación significativa y recuperación de la capacidad de almacenamiento) realizado por la empresa Advancing Earth and Space Science.

Este estudio es el resultado de un trabajo desarrollado por científicos estadounidenses y mexicanos, quienes llegaron a la conclusión de que amplias franjas de tierra debajo de la ciudad se están compactando de manera constante, después de un drenado continuo de los acuíferos subterráneos que se ha extendido muchos años.

Lo que ha provocado que el sedimento del área metropolitana se esté fragmentando, es la densidad poblacional, siendo una de las ciudades más pobladas de todo el planeta, con una falta de urbanización mejor planeada y a la extracción de agua de mantos acuíferos subterráneos,

Los datos del estudio, demostraron que desde hace 115 años la ciudad se está hundiendo. Además mostró comparativos con la información de GPS recopilada desde hace 24 años, y ha señalado a como principales responsables de este fenómeno, al drenaje excesivo de acuíferos subterráneos y la agregación de las capas de arcilla sobre las que ésta descansa.

A post shared by TheCDMXperience (@thecdmxperience)

Una de las palabras que más suena es el estudio, es que la investigación describe como «imparable» el ritmo en el que se han agrietado y comprimido las capas de tierra debajo de la Ciudad de México. La falta de agua en el antiguo lecho del lago está afectando el sedimento natural de la zona. Las consecuencias pueden ser graves en términos de abastecimiento de agua para los millones de pobladores, así como para la fragmentación de la infraestructura pública sobre la superficie.

¿Cuáles son las zonas más afectadas con el hundimiento?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Carlos A. Sanchez (@charlysr25)

El Centro Histórico es de los sectores más afectados del hundimiento, con un ritmo de 40 centímetros de hundimiento al año. Los efectos de este fenómeno se aprecian ya en ciertos inmuebles con alto valor arqueológico e histórico, pues se han visto agrietados y desnivelados significativamente en los últimos años.

En aquellas partes de la ciudad, donde la urbanización todavía no está tan desarrollada como en otros sectores, el hundimiento es mucho menor que en zonas más densamente pobladas. Los sectores marginales como la zona noroeste, podrían padecer pronto de problemas relacionados a fisuras y fracturas del suelo.

A post shared by Brenda García (@brenda_ga_86)

En 150 años se estima que se alcance el 30 % de compresión en las capas de arcilla; en la actualidad, el sedimento está comprimido en un 17 %. Aunque apenas sobrepasamos la mitad del total estimado, es una realidad que estos cambios son casi irreversibles, según aseguran los autores del estudio:

Se ha dicho que incluso si se elevaran los niveles de agua, hay pocas esperanzas de recuperar la gran mayoría de la elevación perdida y la capacidad de almacenamiento perdida; ya que el peso de la ciudad y los cimientos poco profundos, hacen que el suelo se compacte. Aunado a la constante extracción de agua y la creciente expansión del área metropolitana, revertir las consecuencias se ha vuelto casi imposible.

En términos de urbanización y acceso a los recursos naturales la situación es preocupante. Así que es necesario que dentro de la agenda de la ciudad figure la recolección de agua de lluvia, o maneras alternativas para la obtención de este recurso.

La CDMX no es la única ciudad del mundo que se hunde, pero a diferencia de otros tipos de hundimiento registrados en otras ciudades, la CDMX refleja la constante compactación del antiguo lecho del lago de Texcoco sobre el que se construyó la actual ciudad, y que rodeó la antigua Tenochtitlán.

Una vez construida la actual CDMX, y conforme la extracción del agua subterránea se intensificó, éstas se volvieron más profundas y provocó que el lecho del lago, salado y rico en arcilla (con aproximadamente 100 metros de espesor), quedara seco. Desde entonces, sus granos minerales se han vuelto cada vez más compactos, generando que el suelo se reduzca y se hunda.

Así que la falta de agua en el antiguo lecho del lago está afectando el sedimento natural de la zona y los resultados pueden ser muy graves para los habitantes de la metrópoli ya que además de estar en riesgo el abastecimiento de agua para los millones de habitantes, también está en riesgo la infraestructura pública sobre la superficie.

¿Qué sucede en el lago de Texcoco? Tener un lago seco está teniendo sus consecuencias. Tener sin agua un antiguo lecho sobre el que se construyó la ciudad, sede de la ciudad azteca de Tenochtitlán, además, está provocando sus estragos, sin mencionar que el cambio climático, los plásticos y la contaminación de la ciudad también están haciendo su parte.

Precauciones durante el embarazo: Preguntas frecuentes (para Padres)

Prácticamente desde que una mujer ve la pequeña rayita en la prueba de embarazo, parecen comenzar las preocupaciones. Empieza a pensar en las dos tazas de café que tomó el día anterior en el trabajo, el vaso de vino que bebió durante una cena la semana pasada, el filete de atún que tanto disfrutó para el almuerzo hace dos semanas.

Sin lugar a dudas, el embarazo puede ser uno de los momentos más emocionantes y, al mismo tiempo, más preocupantes en la vida de una mujer. Por supuesto, durante el embarazo, lo que una mujer no introduce en su cuerpo (o aquello a lo que no lo expone) puede resultar casi tan importante como lo que sí introduce.

Pero preocuparse por cada pequeña cosa con la que pueda estar en contacto probablemente hará que el embarazo se haga largo y estresante. E inquietarse por las cosas que hizo antes de saber si estaba embarazada o antes de enterarse de que podían resultar peligrosas no les hará ningún bien ni a usted ni a su bebé.

Son muchas las preguntas relacionadas con lo que las mujeres pueden o no pueden hacer durante el embarazo. Pero las respuestas no siempre se obtienen de las fuentes más confiables y, por eso, usted podría preocuparse innecesariamente. Vale la pena escuchar algunas advertencias; pero otras son simples rumores populares sin comprobación científica.

Saber qué es lo que realmente podría ser nocivo para su bebé y qué cosas no son un problema es fundamental para su bienestar mental durante estas 40 semanas.

Los principales riesgos durante el embarazo

Necesitará prestar especial atención a unas cuantas cosas durante el embarazo; algunas son más nocivas que otras. Su médico u otro proveedor del cuidado de la salud hablarán con usted acerca de lo que debe evitar por completo, lo que debe reducir drásticamente y lo que debe considerar cuidadosamente durante el embarazo.

Alcohol

¿Debo evitarlo? ¡Sí! Aunque pueda parecer que no hay nada de malo en tomar un vaso de vino durante la cena o un poco de cerveza con amigos, nadie sabe cuál es la “cantidad segura” de alcohol que se puede beber durante el embarazo. El síndrome de alcoholismo fetal es provocado por la ingesta de mucho alcohol durante el embarazo. Realmente se desconoce qué cantidad resulta nociva y qué cantidad es segura. Debido a esta incertidumbre, siempre es conveniente tomar precauciones y no beber nada de alcohol durante el embarazo.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? El alcohol es una de las causas más comunes de discapacidad física y de problemas intelectuales o de conducta. Para el feto en desarrollo, puede llegar a ser incluso más nocivo que la heroína, la cocaína o la marihuana.

El alcohol se transmite fácilmente al bebé y su cuerpo no puede eliminar el alcohol como lo hace el de la madre. Esto significa que el bebé tiende a acumular concentraciones elevadas de alcohol, que permanecen en su organismo durante períodos de tiempo más extensos que en el cuerpo de la madre. Y la ingesta moderada de alcohol, así como las borracheras periódicas, pueden llegar a dañar el sistema nervioso del bebé que se está desarrollando.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si tomó una o dos copas antes de saber que estaba embarazada (algo que les ocurre a muchas mujeres), no se preocupe demasiado. Lo mejor que puede hacer es no volver a tomar alcohol durante el resto del embarazo.

Si es alcohólica o cree que puede tener algún problema con la bebida, hable con su médico. El médico debe saber cuánto alcohol ha consumido, y en qué momento del embarazo, para hacerse una idea de cómo puede haberle afectado al bebé. El médico también podrá indicarle cómo obtener la ayuda que necesita para dejar de beber: por su propio bien y por el bien de su bebé.

p

Cafeína

¿Debo evitarla y/o reducir la cantidad que consumo? Sí. Es conveniente reducir o eliminar el consumo de cafeína. Los estudios demuestran que el consumo de más de 200 a 300 miligramos de cafeína por día (de 2 a 3 tazas de café, según el tamaño de la porción, del método de preparación y de la marca) puede poner en riesgo un embarazo. Consumir menos de esa cantidad probablemente sea seguro.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? El consumo elevado de cafeína se ha asociado a un mayor riesgo de aborto espontáneo y, posiblemente, a otras complicaciones del embarazo.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si le cuesta mucho dejar el café de golpe, puede comenzar de la siguiente manera:

Reduzca el consumo a una o dos tazas por día.

Reduzca gradualmente la cantidad combinando café descafeinado con café normal.

Finalmente, deje por completo el café normal.

Y recuerde que la cafeína no se encuentra únicamente en el café. El té verde y el té negro, los refrescos de cola y otros tipos de refrescos contienen cafeína. Intente pasar a productos descafeinados (que tal vez tengan un poco de cafeína, pero en cantidades mucho más pequeñas) o alternativas sin cafeína.

Si se está preguntando por el chocolate, que también tiene cafeína, la buena noticia es que puede comer chocolate con moderación. Una taza de café contiene entre 95 y 135 miligramos de cafeína, pero una tableta de chocolate promedio contiene entre 5 y 30 miligramos. Por lo tanto, no hay ningún problema en que consuma cantidades pequeñas de chocolate.

Ciertos alimentos

¿Hay alimentos que debo evitar? Sí. Debe tratar de evitar o limitar su exposición a aquellos alimentos que con mayor probabilidad estén contaminados con bacterias o con metales pesados. Los que debe evitar durante todo el embarazo son los siguientes:

los quesos blandos no pasteurizados (con frecuencia promocionados como “frescos”), como el queso feta, el queso de cabra, el brie, el camembert, el queso azul y el queso fresco propiamente dicho

la leche, los jugos y la cidra de manzana que no estén pasteurizados

los huevos crudos o los alimentos que contienen huevos crudos, lo cual incluye la mousse, el tiramisú, la masa para hacer galletas que no esté totalmente cocida, el helado casero y la salsa César para ensaladas

el pescado crudo o poco cocido (sushi), los mariscos o las carnes crudos o poco cocidos

los patés y otros productos untables derivados de la carne

las carnes procesadas, como los perros calientes, los productos de charcutería (deben estar bien cocidos antes de comerlos)

Asimismo, si bien el pescado y los mariscos pueden ser una parte sumamente saludable de la dieta durante el embarazo (contienen ácidos grasos omega 3 beneficiosos, son una fuente elevada de proteínas y tienen un bajo contenido de grasas saturadas), debe evitar ciertos tipos de pescado debido a su elevado contenido de mercurio, que puede dañar el cerebro del bebé en desarrollo.

Debe evitar los siguientes pescados:

tiburón

pez espada

carito, peto o sierra

blanquillo

filete de atún (puede comer cantidades limitadas de atún enlatado, preferentemente claro)

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? Si bien es importante comer muchos alimentos saludables durante el embarazo, también debe evitar las enfermedades que se transmiten a través de los alimentos, como listeriosis, toxoplasmosis y salmonella, que son provocadas por las bacterias presentes en ciertos alimentos. Estas infecciones pueden poner en riesgo la vida del bebé por nacer y pueden provocar malformaciones congénitas o abortos espontáneos.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Asegúrese de lavar completamente todas las frutas y verduras, que pueden portar bacterias o estar recubiertas con residuos de pesticidas. Y preste atención a lo que compra o lo que come fuera de casa.

Cuando escoja frutos de mar, coma una variedad de pescados y mariscos, y limite la cantidad a aproximadamente 12 onzas por semana; esto equivale a aproximadamente dos comidas. Los pescados y mariscos de consumo habitual que tienen un bajo contenido de mercurio incluyen los siguientes: atún claro enlatado, bagre, abadejo, salmón y camarones. Pero como el atún blanco o albacore tiene más mercurio que el atún claro en lata, conviene no comer más de 6 onzas (o una comida) de atún blanco por semana.

Es posible que durante el embarazo deba evitar de algunos alimentos que normalmente disfrutaría. ¡Pero simplemente piense en lo deliciosos que le resultarán cuando pueda volver a comerlos!

Limpiar el cajón de excremento del gato

¿Debo evitarlo? ¡Sí! El embarazo es el mejor momento para abstenerse de limpiar la caja de excremento del gato. ¡Pero eso no quiere decir que deba mantenerse alejada de su amada mascota!

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? El excremento presente en las cajas de los gatos puede transmitir una infección denominada toxoplasmosis que puede provocar problemas graves en el feto, incluido el parto prematuro, bajo crecimiento y lesiones graves en la vista y el cerebro. Con frecuencia, las mujeres embarazadas que se infectan no presentan ningún síntoma, pero pueden transmitir la infección al bebé en desarrollo.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Pídale a otra persona que limpie la caja de excremento del gato y que se asegure de hacerlo de manera regular y con cuidado. Al terminar, esta persona debe lavarse bien las manos.

Medicamentos de venta con y sin receta

¿Debo evitarlos? Algunos debe evitarlos; otros, no. Existen muchos medicamentos que no debe tomar durante el embarazo. Asegúrese de hablar con su médico acerca de qué medicamentos con y sin receta puede y no puede tomar, aun cuando parezca que no provocarán ningún problema.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? Incluso los medicamentos que puede comprar en tiendas sin necesidad de una receta pueden estar contraindicados durante el embarazo debido a los posibles efectos para el bebé. Algunos medicamentos con receta también pueden provocar lesiones en los bebés que se están desarrollando. (El tipo de daño y el grado de la posible lesión en el feto dependen del tipo de medicamento).

Además, si bien pueden parecer inocuos, las hierbas medicinales y los suplementos no están regulados por la Administración de alimentos y medicamentos de los Estados Unidos. Esto significa que no es necesario que cumplan con normas de seguridad de ningún tipo y, por lo tanto, podrían ser nocivos para su bebé.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Para asegurarse de no tomar nada que pueda poner en riesgo a su bebé, hable con su médico acerca de lo siguiente:

cualquier medicamento que esté tomando (tanto con receta como sin receta) y pregúntele cuáles puede seguir tomando durante el embarazo

cualquier preocupación que tenga por los remedios naturales, los suplementos y las vitaminas

Asimismo, informe a todos los proveedores del cuidado de la salud que está embarazada para que lo tengan en cuenta al recomendarle o recetarle medicamentos. Si antes de quedar embarazada le recetaron un medicamento para una enfermedad o una afección que aún padece, el médico puede ayudarla a evaluar los posibles beneficios y riesgos de continuar tomando ese medicamento.

Si se enferma (por ejemplo, con un resfriado) o si tiene síntomas que le provocan molestias o dolor (como un dolor de cabeza o de espalda), hable con su médico acerca de los medicamentos que puede tomar y de otras maneras que pueden ayudarla a sentirse mejor sin necesidad de medicamentos.

Además, si usted está en el tercer trimestre de embarazo y será sometida a una cirugía o procedimiento médico que requiera el uso de anestesia general, hable con el profesional del cuidado de la salud. La Administración de alimentos y medicamentos de los Estados Unidos (FDA) ha emitido una advertencia sobre los posibles efectos en el desarrollo del cerebro del bebé.

p

Drogas recreativas

¿Debo evitarlas? ¡Sí!

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? Las mujeres embarazadas que usan drogas pueden estar poniendo a sus bebés en riesgo de lo siguiente:

parto prematuro

retraso del crecimiento

deformaciones congénitas

problemas de aprendizaje y conducta

Y sus bebés también podrían nacer siendo adictos a esas drogas.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si consumió drogas en algún momento de su embarazo, es importante que se lo diga a su médico. Aun cuando haya dejado de tomarlas, el bebé por nacer podría estar en riesgo de tener problemas de salud. Si aún está consumiendo drogas, hable con su médico para que la ayude a dejarlas. Las clínicas, como Planned Parenthood, también pueden recomendarle proveedores de cuidado de la salud que pueden ayudarla, de manera gratuita o a muy bajo costo, a dejar de consumir y tener un embarazo saludable.

Tabaco

¿Debo evitarlo? ¡Sí! Usted jamás encendería un cigarrillo para colocarlo en la boca de su bebé y animarlo a fumar. Por más que esto parezca ridículo, las mujeres embarazadas que continúan fumando están permitiendo que sus fetos también fumen. La madre fumadora transmite la nicotina, el monóxido de carbono y muchas otras sustancias químicas al bebé en crecimiento.

Del mismo modo, debe alejarse de las personas que están fumando, ya sea que se trate de compañeros de trabajo, familiares o personas en espacios públicos.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos para mi bebé? Los problemas que pueden surgir si una mujer embarazada fuma son los siguientes:

aborto espontáneo o nacimiento de un bebé muerto

parto prematuro

bajo peso al nacer

síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante (SMSL)

asma y otros problemas respiratorios

Y los riesgos para el feto por la exposición habitual al humo de segunda mano incluyen bajo peso al nacer y retrasos del crecimiento.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si fuma, tener un bebé puede ser el motivo que necesite para abandonar el hábito. Hable con su médico acerca de las opciones para dejar el hábito.

Si pasa tiempo con personas que fuman, pídales amablemente que lo hagan al aire libre y, si usted también se encuentra al aire libre, que lo hagan lejos de usted.

p

Edulcorantes artificiales (sustitutos del azúcar)

¿Debo evitarlos? Algunos no presentan ningún problema, pero conviene evitar otros.

Se ha determinado que es seguro consumir aspartamo, sucralosa, esteviosido y acesulfamo de potasio, con moderación, durante el embarazo. Sin embargo, debería evitar el aspartamo si usted o su pareja tienen una extraña enfermedad hereditaria denominada fenilcetonuria, en la cual el organismo no puede descomponer la fenilalanina, que es un compuesto presente en el aspartamo. En ese caso, usted debería evitar completamente el consumo ya que su bebé también podría nacer con esta enfermedad.

Los expertos aún no han determinado si es seguro consumir sacarina, presente en algunos alimentos y que se vende en pequeños paquetes, durante el embarazo. La sacarina puede atravesar la placenta y permanecer en el tejido del feto. Asimismo, en Estados Unidos se prohibió el uso de un edulcorante denominado “ciclamato” debido a su posible relación con el cáncer.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si es que los hay, para mi bebé? Si bien algunas personas afirman que el edulcorante artificial aspartamo está ligado a enfermedades y deformaciones congénitas, las autoridades gubernamentales y los grupos médicos de todo el mundo han evaluado el aspartamo y lo han aprobado como seguro para consumo humano, incluso durante el embarazo.

Las investigaciones realizadas durante la década de 1970 sugirieron que la sacarina provocaba cáncer de vejiga en las ratas de laboratorio cuando se consumía en grandes cantidades. No obstante, desde entonces, esos estudios han sido cuestionados con frecuencia. Además, en el año 2000, se eliminó una advertencia que debía incluirse en las etiquetas de los productos con sacarina para indicar que podían provocar cáncer.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? En lo que se refiere al aspartamo, la sucralosa, el esteviosido y el acesulfamo K, la clave está en consumirlos con moderación. No hay problema en tomar un refresco dietético o comer alimentos sin azúcar que contengan estos edulcorantes artificiales, siempre que lo haga de forma ocasional. Pero si realmente tiene antojo de algo dulce, probablemente sea mejor comer o beber el alimento con azúcar, siempre y cuando lo haga con moderación.

Si ya consumió algo con sacarina durante el embarazo, no se obsesione. Es muy poco probable que las cantidades pequeñas puedan dañar a su bebé.

Aún así, es conveniente que compruebe las etiquetas de los productos e intente evitar (o al menos limitar) cualquier producto con edulcorantes artificiales (en especial sacarina), simplemente para estar segura. Después de todo, esta es la única vez en la vida en la que tiene una buena razón para evitar los alimentos dietéticos. Y cuantos más alimentos integrales y naturales coma durante el embarazo, mejor.

p

Viajes en avión

¿Debo evitarlos? No, a menos que esté cerca de la fecha probable de parto o que su médico le indique que usted o su bebé tienen una afección médica que requiera que se quede cerca de su hogar. A las mujeres con algunas afecciones de salud, como hipertensión arterial o coágulos de sangre, antecedentes de abortos espontáneos, partos prematuros, embarazo ectópico u otras complicaciones prenatales, se les recomienda no viajar en avión.

Por el contrario, la mayoría de las mujeres embarazadas saludables pueden volar hasta 4 semanas antes de su fecha de parto. Después, es mejor mantenerse cerca de su residencia por si se desencadena el parto.

Nota: Se recomienda a las mujeres embarazadas no volar a zonas con altitud elevada, regiones con brotes de enfermedades o en las cuales se recomiende a los viajeros colocarse ciertas vacunas.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? En el caso de las mujeres sanas, no existen riesgos significativos. Sin embargo, las mujeres que tienen embarazos complicados, en especial los que involucran al sistema cardiovascular, podrían tener complicaciones por un viaje en avión y deben conversar con su médico acerca de sus planes de viajar.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Hable con su médico sobre los planes de realizar viajes extensos o a grandes distancias durante el último trimestre del embarazo. Si el médico le da el visto bueno, comuníquese con la compañía aérea para conocer sus políticas sobre vuelos durante el embarazo. (La mayoría de las aerolíneas permiten que las mujeres embarazadas vuelen hasta la semana 37).

Para asegurarse de estar lo más cómoda posible durante el vuelo:

Mueva las piernas regularmente o levántese del asiento (en especial durante los vuelos largos) para favorecer la circulación y ayudar a prevenir la formación de coágulos de sangre.

Use medias elásticas para prevenir la formación de coágulos en las piernas.

Lleve abrochado el cinturón de seguridad mientras estén sentada para reducir al mínimo los posibles golpes en caso de turbulencia.

Tinturas para el cabello

¿Debo evitarlas? No. De acuerdo con el ACOG (colegio de obstetras y ginecólogos de Estados Unidos), como se absorbe muy poca tintura por la piel, lo más probable es que sea seguro usar tintura durante el embarazo, aun cuando los médicos indicaban lo contrario en el pasado. Esta es una excelente noticia para muchas mujeres embarazadas: teñirse el cabello puede darle una “inyección” de confianza cuando las demás cosas que ocurren con su cuerpo parecen escapar a su control.

Si bien muy pocos estudios han analizado detenidamente la gran variedad de tratamientos para el cabello y sus posibles efectos sobre el feto, lo que se ha corroborado hasta la fecha demuestra que lo más probable es que los tratamientos capilares sean seguros.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para el bebé? Hasta ahora no se conoce ningún riesgo.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si está preocupada pero desea hacerse un pequeño retoque, pruebe con los rayitos. En este tratamiento se usan menos sustancias químicas que al teñir todo el cabello.

p

Ejercicios de alto impacto

¿Debo evitarlo? ¡Sí! Para la mayoría de las mujeres embarazadas, los ejercicios de bajo impacto son una excelente manera de sentirse mejor y ayudan a preparar al cuerpo para el parto. Los ejercicios físicos de bajo impacto aumentan el ritmo cardíaco y la entrada de oxígeno y, al mismo tiempo, ayudan a evitar las acciones repentinas y con golpes que pueden afectar a las articulaciones, los huesos y los músculos. A menos que el médico le indique lo contrario, limítese a practicar ejercicios de bajo impacto.

¿Cuánto es suficiente? El Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los Estados Unidos recomienda que las mujeres saludables que no son altamente activas o que no están acostumbradas a realizar actividad intensa realicen al menos 150 minutos (2 horas y media) de actividad aeróbica de intensidad moderada por semana. Si usted era muy activa o realizaba actividades aeróbicas intensas antes del embarazo, tal vez pueda continuar con su rutina de ejercicios, siempre y cuando su médico considere que es seguro para usted y el bebé.

Es conveniente evitar algunos ejercicios y actividades, como los siguientes:

levantamiento de pesas y carga de objetos pesados (después del primer trimestre)

abdominales (también después del primer trimestre)

deportes de contacto

submarinismo

rebotes

sacudidas (cualquier actividad que pueda provocar muchos movimientos hacia arriba y hacia abajo, como montar a caballo)

saltos

cambios bruscos de dirección (como el esquí alpino)

cualquier actividad con un mayor riesgo de caídas, como la gimnasia artística

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? El ejercicio físico de alto impacto puede causar mayor presión sobre las estructuras del interior del útero y esto podría provocar problemas, como parto prematuro o sangrado.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Algunas de las maneras saludables para que las mujeres se mantengan en forma incluyen caminar, nadar, hacer gimnasia aeróbica en el agua, el yoga y el Pilates. Pero asegúrese de hablar con su médico antes de comenzar (o continuar) con cualquier rutina de ejercicio físico durante el embarazo.

p

Sustancias químicas de uso doméstico

¿Debo evitarlas? Algunas debe evitarlas; otras, no. La organización March of Dimes, asegura que si bien el olor de las sustancias químicas como el amoníaco o la lejía, pueden provocarle náuseas, no son tóxicas. Pero otras sustancias (como algunas pinturas, los solventes, los limpiadores de horno, los removedores de barniz, los desodorantes de ambiente, los aerosoles, los limpiadores de alfombras, etc.) podrían ser tóxicas.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Depende del producto. Algunas sustancias químicas pueden no tener ningún efecto, mientras que otras, en dosis elevadas, podrían ser nocivas.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Aquí encontrará unos cuantos consejos para garantizar el uso seguro de sustancias químicas de uso doméstico durante su embarazo:

Hable con su médico acerca de las preocupaciones que tenga por las sustancias químicas que utiliza en su hogar o en su trabajo.

Antes de usar cualquier producto, lea las etiquetas. Si su uso durante el embarazo no es seguro, la etiqueta debería decir que es tóxico. Averigüe no solo si es seguro que usted lo use, sino si es seguro que usted esté cerca mientras otras personas lo están usando. Si la etiqueta no lo especifica, comuníquese con el fabricante.

Abra las ventanas y las puertas, y use guantes de látex y una máscara cuando utilice una sustancia química para limpiar.

Después de usar cualquier sustancia química, lávese las manos y los brazos, aun cuando haya usado guantes.

Opte por productos naturales, como bicarbonato de sodio, bórax y vinagre para limpiar.

Haga que otra persona pinte la habitación del bebé, por más que desee hacerlo usted. Y no ayude, bajo ningún concepto, a quitar la pintura de su hogar si fue construido antes de 1978, ya que podría contener pintura a base de plomo. Si bien muchas pinturas actuales se consideran más seguras que las del pasado, sigue siendo una buena idea que otra persona se encargue de pintar. ¡Usted puede continuar con las tareas de decoración una vez que se seque la pintura!

Aerosoles para insectos (insecticidas, pesticidas y repelentes)

¿Debo evitarlas? ¡Sí! Se los considera venenos y las mujeres embarazadas deben mantenerse alejadas de ellos siempre que sea posible.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Si bien el uso ocasional de insecticidas en el hogar puede no ser peligroso, es conveniente tener cuidado. Los niveles de exposición elevados pueden provocar lo siguiente:

abortos espontáneos

partos prematuros

deformaciones congénitas

En lo que respecta a los repelentes de insectos (que pueden contener DEET o dietiltoluamida), no se conocen los riesgos con certeza. Por lo tanto, es conveniente no usarlos durante el embarazo o usar guantes para colocar una pequeña cantidad sobre las medias, el calzado y las prendas de vestir en lugar de colocarse los repelentes directamente sobre la piel.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si tiene un problema con los insectos en su hogar, la organización March of Dimes sugiere lo siguiente:

Utilice métodos más seguros para eliminarlos, como el ácido bórico, que seguramente conseguirá en una ferretería.

Asegúrese de que otra persona se encargue de colocar los pesticidas.

Cuando rocíe pesticidas en el exterior de su hogar, cierre todas las ventanas y apague los aires acondicionados y los ventiladores de las ventanas para evitar que los gases entren en su casa.

Retire los alimentos, utensilios y platos de los lugares en los que se usarán sustancias químicas.

Manténgase alejada de la zona tratada durante la aplicación del pesticida y, después, durante la cantidad de tiempo que se especifique en la etiqueta del producto.

Después de usar un pesticida en el hogar, pídale a otra persona que lave la zona tratada donde se preparen o sirvan alimentos.

Use guantes de látex cuando haga jardinería en una zona donde se hayan usado pesticidas.

Si tiene agua de pozo y utiliza pesticidas, fertilizantes o herbicidas, haga que analicen el suministro de agua regularmente.

p

Plomo

¿Debo evitarlo? ¡Sí! Sin embargo, la exposición a niveles elevados de plomo es inusual en los Estados Unidos.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? La exposición a niveles elevados de plomo puede provocar lo siguiente:

abortos espontáneos

partos prematuros

bajo peso al nacer

retrasos en el desarrollo

Pero incluso los bajos niveles de plomo pueden provocar problemas sutiles con el comportamiento y el aprendizaje de los niños.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si su hogar se construyó antes de 1978, es posible que la pintura sea a base de plomo. Pero solo se trata de un problema si la pintura se está descascarando, desconchando o si la está retirando. Algunas casas también tienen caños de plomo o de cobre con soldaduras de plomo, que permiten que este metal entre en el agua corriente.

Si tiene una casa antigua o cree que podría tener tuberías o soldaduras de plomo y está preocupada por la exposición a este metal, puede pedirle a un profesional que analice su agua, el polvo de su hogar, la tierra del exterior y la pintura de su hogar para determinar si hay presencia de plomo.

Asegúrese de que quien retire en su hogar la pintura que pueda ser a base de plomo cumpla con los siguientes requisitos:

sea un profesional entrenado en la extracción de pintura a base de plomo (deshacerse de la pintura a base de plomo no es una tarea que pueda hacer un aficionado)

quite la pintura cuando usted no esté presente

no raspe, lije o utilice una pistola de calor para quitar la pintura (estos métodos pueden dejar polvo de plomo en el aire)

limpie cuidadosamente el área inmediatamente después de terminar

Para ayudar a reducir los posibles niveles de plomo en el agua corriente, puede dejar correr el agua durante 30 segundos antes de usarla o comprar un filtro de agua que indique específicamente que elimina el plomo en su empaque.

Exceso de calor (baños calientes, saunas, mantas eléctricas, etc.)

¿Debo evitarlo o limitarlo? Sí. Debe limitar las actividades que eleven su temperatura corporal a más de 102 °F (38.9 °C). Estas actividades incluyen:

usar saunas o baños calientes

tomar baños o duchas prolongados con agua muy caliente

usar mantas eléctricas o almohadillas de calor

dejar que le suba mucho la temperatura

calentarse en exceso por hacer ejercicio físico o estar al exterior en clima muy caluroso

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Si la temperatura de su cuerpo supera los 102 °F (38.9 °C) durante más de diez minutos, el exceso de calor puede causarle problemas al feto. El exceso de calor en el primer trimestre puede provocar defectos en el tubo neural y abortos espontáneos. Cuando el embarazo está más avanzado, la madre puede sufrir deshidratación.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? En lugar de tomar baños calientes o saunas, zambúllase en una piscina con agua templada. Y probablemente sea una buena idea ducharse o bañarse con agua tibia o ligeramente caliente. Si tiene fiebre durante el embarazo, hable con su médico para que le indique de qué maneras puede bajarla. Y escuche a su cuerpo cuando note que tiene exceso de calor al hacer ejercicio físico o mientras disfruta de los meses cálidos al aire libre.

Pero si ya se ha expuesto al exceso de calor durante el embarazo, no se preocupe demasiado. Lo más probable es que usted se haya retirado de la situación molesta antes de que ocurriera algún daño.

Autobronceantes

¿Debo evitarlos? Tal vez. Si bien no existen pruebas de que los autobronceantes sean nocivos para los bebés que aún no han nacido, no son muchos los estudios que se han hecho sobre sus efectos sobre el feto.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? No se han documentado riesgos específicos relacionados con los autobronceantes.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Para tener un poco de color en el verano, evite los autobronceantes y colóquese maquillaje tipo bronzer en el rostro, el cuello, los hombros y el pecho. Y si decide colocarse un autobronceante, eso es mucho más seguro que recostarse al sol y correr el riesgo de tener exceso de calor. Como ya hemos visto, el exceso de calor durante el primer trimestre del embarazo puede provocar problemas significativos para el bebé; en los embarazos más avanzados, puede provocar deshidratación en la madre. De todos modos, hable con su médico antes de usar un autobronceante.

p

Relaciones sexuales

¿Debo evitarlas? No. La mayoría de las mujeres con un embarazo “normal” pueden continuar teniendo relaciones sexuales; es perfectamente seguro, tanto para la madre como para el bebé, incluso hasta el momento del parto. Por supuesto, probablemente tendrá que hacer algunos cambios posturales para su comodidad a medida que el vientre aumente de tamaño.

Los médicos pueden desaconsejar las relaciones sexuales si consideran que hay o puede haber complicaciones significativas con el embarazo de una mujer. Estas complicaciones incluyen las siguientes:

antecedentes o amenazas de aborto espontáneo

antecedentes de partos prematuros (haber dado a luz un bebé antes de la semana 37) o signos que indican que existen riesgos de parto prematuro (como contracciones uterinas prematuras)

sangrado, flujo o calambres vaginales sin explicación

pérdida de líquido amniótico (el líquido que rodea al bebé)

placenta previa, una afección en la cual la placenta (la estructura rica en sangre que nutre al bebé) está ubicada tan abajo que cubre el cuello del útero

insuficiencia de cuello uterino, un trastorno en el cual el cuello del útero está debilitado, se dilata (se abre) prematuramente, lo cual aumenta los riesgos de aborto espontáneo o parto prematuro

varios fetos (embarazo de mellizos, trillizos, etc. )

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? No debe tener relaciones sexuales con una pareja de la cual no conoce su historia sexual o que pueda tener una enfermedad de transmisión sexual, como herpes, verrugas genitales, clamidiasis o VIH. Si se infecta, puede transmitir la enfermedad a su bebé y los efectos podrían ser peligrosos.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Hable con su médico acerca de las molestias que tenga durante las relaciones sexuales o después de ellas, y sobre cualquier otra preocupación.

Beber agua del grifo

¿Debo evitarlo? No necesariamente. Antes de salir a comprar la cantidad suficiente de agua embotellada como para 9 meses, dígale a su médico dónde vive y si tiene agua corriente o agua de pozo.

También es importante destacar que el simple hecho de que el agua esté embotellada no significa necesariamente que sea más segura. Si bien el agua embotellada (que está regulada por la FDA) tal vez sepa mejor o diferente, el agua corriente cumple las mismas normas de la EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Según la organización March of Dimes, distintos estudios ofrecen resultados diferentes. Algunos han determinado que el cloro que se utiliza para el tratamiento del agua corriente puede convertirse en cloroformo cuando se mezcla con otros materiales presentes en el agua y esto puede incrementar el riesgo de abortos espontáneos y de retraso del crecimiento fetal. Pero otros estudios no han podido corroborar esta relación. A otras personas les preocupa la posibilidad de que el agua esté contaminada con elementos como plomo o pesticidas. Si tiene agua de pozo, probablemente deba analizarla regularmente, como una vez al año, sin importar si está embarazada o no.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Si está preocupada, comuníquese con el proveedor de agua local para obtener una copia del reporte anual de calidad del agua. Si continúa preocupada o si tiene agua de pozo, haga analizar el agua en un laboratorio certificado por el estado. Este análisis puede costarle desde quince a cientos de dólares, según la cantidad de contaminantes que desea descartar.

Para tranquilizarse, puede comprar un filtro de agua que ayude a reducir los niveles de plomo, algunas bacterias y virus y sustancias químicas, como el cloro. Asegúrese de leer la etiqueta del producto, ya que algunos filtros eliminan más sustancias que otros.

Las jarras de mesa con sistemas de filtrado o los filtros que se montan en los grifos son bastante económicos (algunos se consiguen por menos de 50 dólares), mientras que los sistemas que se utilizan para tratar el suministro de agua de toda la casa son mucho más costosos (hasta miles de dólares). También puede solicitar enfriadores de agua rellenables; con frecuencia se ofrecen en tiendas de venta al por mayor.

p

Blanqueadores dentales y blanqueamiento dental

¿Debo evitarlos? Tal vez. Al igual que con los autobronceantes, no se han hecho estudios serios sobre los blanqueadores dentales que prueben con certeza que su uso es seguro en mujeres embarazadas. Y algunos fabricantes de blanqueadores desaconsejan su uso durante el embarazo. Algunos dentistas recomiendan esperar hasta después del embarazo para hacer un blanqueamiento dental y otros afirman que el procedimiento es seguro. La principal preocupación son los posibles efectos que tendrían en el feto las sustancias químicas que se utilizan en los productos para el blanqueamiento de los dientes si la madre las llegara a tragar.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Actualmente no se dispone de pruebas de que el blanqueamiento de los dientes pueda dañar al feto.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Hable con su médico antes de usar productos blanqueadores. Si prefiere esperar hasta después del embarazo para tener los dientes blancos como perlas, simplemente cepíllelos regularmente con una pasta de dientes blanqueadora, que podría darle un brillo especial a su sonrisa.

Vacunas

¿Debo evitarlas? En muchos casos, sí; en otros, no. Para la mayoría de las vacunas conviene esperar hasta después del embarazo, pero algunas pocas se consideran seguras. Es posible que el médico le indique que puede vacunarse si:

existen altas probabilidades de que esté expuesta a una enfermedad o una infección en particular y los beneficios de la vacunación superan los posibles riesgos

una infección podría poner en riesgo a usted o al bebé

es poco probable que la vacuna tenga efectos nocivos

La vacuna de la gripe reúne los criterios anteriores y los CDC la recomiendan durante cualquier etapa del embarazo. Pero las mujeres embarazadas solo deben recibir la vacuna elaborada con virus inactivos.

La vacuna de la gripe puede frenar los problemas relacionados con la gripe en las mujeres embarazadas con mayores riesgos de complicaciones por la enfermedad. Y la vacuna es segura; los estudios demuestran que no afecta al feto. También ayuda a proteger a la madre y al bebé de la gripe (y otros virus) durante el primer año de vida del bebé.

Ahora, se recomienda la vacuna DTP (contra el tétanos, la difteria y la tos convulsa o pertussis) para todas las mujeres embarazadas en la segunda mitad del embarazo, sin importar si ya se han dado la vacuna o no, o cuándo recibieron la última aplicación. Esta nueva recomendación se hizo en respuesta al incremento en las infecciones con pertussis (tos convulsa), que puede resultar mortal en los recién nacidos que aún no han recibido sus vacunas de rutina.

Además de la vacuna de la gripe y la DTP, otras vacunas que los CDC consideran seguras durante el embarazo, pero únicamente en caso de ser verdaderamente necesarias, son las siguientes:

hepatitis B

meningitis

rabia

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? No se recomienda aplicar vacunas con virus vivos, que son las que contienen un organismo vivo, a las mujeres embarazadas debido al riesgo de que la infección o la enfermedad real que la vacuna busca prevenir se pueda transmitir al bebé aún no nacido. Sin embargo, esto depende de las circunstancias y de si, en definitiva, es más seguro recibir la vacuna que quedar expuesta a la enfermedad real. Por ejemplo, la vacuna contra la varicela puede ser más segura para su bebé aún no nacido que contagiarse la infección. Por eso, si cree que ha estado expuesta a la enfermedad, es importante que hable con su médico.

No obstante, los investigadores no han determinado aún cuáles son los riesgos de algunas vacunas para el feto. Por lo tanto, es conveniente esperar para vacunarse, a menos que su médico le indique lo contrario.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Asegúrese de hablar con su médico antes de recibir cualquier tipo de vacunas durante el embarazo. Además, indíquele a su médico si queda embarazada dentro de las 4 semanas posteriores a haber recibido una vacuna. Y si el lugar en el que trabaja le exige ciertas vacunas, asegúrese de hacerles saber que está embarazada antes de aceptar que la inmunicen.

p

Radiografías

¿Debo evitarlas? Sí y no. Si el médico considera que es realmente necesario que se haga una radiografía durante el embarazo (por su propio bienestar y el de su bebé), entonces es muy poco probable que los bajos niveles de radiación de las radiografías resulten nocivos. Sin embargo, si puede esperar sin riesgos a realizarse la radiografía una vez que haya nacido el bebé, entonces esa sea tal vez la mejor opción.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos, si los hay, para mi bebé? Los expertos en salud afirman que lo más probable es que las radiografías sean seguras durante el embarazo. La mayoría de las radiografías de diagnóstico emiten mucho menos que 5 rads, que es el límite sugerido por la FDA al que puede exponerse una mujer durante el embarazo.

Los diferentes procedimientos radiológicos emiten distintas cantidades de radiación y la dirección de los rayos también repercute en la posibilidad de exposición del feto. Las radiografías dentales, por ejemplo, no deben preocupar demasiado porque la zona irradiada está muy alejada del útero.

¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto? Los investigadores consideran que los fetos son más susceptibles a los efectos nocivos de las radiaciones debido a la gran velocidad a la que se dividen sus células. Asegúrese siempre de que sus proveedores de cuidado de la salud (incluido el dentista y el radiólogo) sepan que usted está embarazada antes de realizarse una radiografía. Asegúrese también de cubrirse el abdomen con un delantal de plomo.

Si le preocupan los efectos y prefiere no realizarse una radiografía durante el embarazo, tal vez el médico pueda recurrir a una resonancia magnética durante el primer trimestre y a una ecografía en cualquier momento del embarazo.

Mantener todo en perspectiva

Si bien no es seguro hacer algunas cosas durante el embarazo, intente no dedicarle demasiado tiempo a pensar en esto y a preocuparse. Cuando tenga alguna duda, recurra al sentido común; si parece una mala idea, que no es necesario hacerlo ya mismo o que es riesgoso, espere hasta haber hablado con su médico. Probablemente él pueda ayudarla a tranquilizarse e incluso le haga saber que puede hacer algo que nunca pensó que podría hacer hasta después de dar a luz.

Sobre todo, asegúrese de seguir las recomendaciones más importantes para un embarazo saludable: comer bien, descansar mucho, mantenerse alejada de las drogas, el alcohol y el tabaco. De esta manera, estará en camino de mantenerse sana y de mantener sano a su bebé.

Fireworks exploded with a magnificent set of flowers and sounds, firing, and firing. the crowd on the Victoria Embankment cheered with lust for the start of the new year.

Schuyler Van Alen watched the festival from the balcony of a townhouse across the street from Primrose Hill[1], admiring the view of the London Eye[2] glowing with silver and lavender in a night sky fringed with brilliant blue light from a row of trees surrounding the park.

“It’s almost midnight,” Oliver Hazard Perry said as he appeared with two glasses of champagne and handed Schuyler one with a smile.

He wore a crisp black tuxedo with shiny silver cufflinks, and she was struck by his grown-up manliness – the strength he brought into himself, the rediscovered confidence in his step. His sandy brown hair was swept back from his forehead, and his light brown eyes sparkled with several lovely lines. The London girls couldn’t get to him – his phone kept getting messages asking them to meet them for a drink at Lulu’s or join them for another Pims & Haws party at Harry’s.

Oliver told her all about his love affair in New York with the witch who healed his heart and cured his longing blood from Schuyler’s familiar. He returned to being only her guide, but he was still dear to her – her best friend from the very beginning.

“Hurray,” she said, taking the glass and ringing it for him. She agreed to go despite her mood and wore a black velvet dress that suited her. A mourning dress, she couldn’t help but think of putting it on earlier that evening. It was short, with a deep V-neck, sleeveless. Her collarbones jutted out like sharp lines against the dark fabric, and she knew that her arms looked extremely skinny. Skye wore a Linked Bond ring on her left arm and a silver bracelet on her forearm that Oliver had given her for her birthday for several years.

Her friend appraised her thoughtfully.

— You look beautiful and tragic, like a heroine on the eve of a fight. Like Joan of Arc in her silver armor.

“It’s good that you said, although I don’t feel particularly brave,” Schuyler replied, fiddling with her new short elf haircut with a slight “fringe”—what the British call bangs.

– But maybe champagne will help.

She smiled just as she felt a strange chill, not from a cold breeze, but from an inexplicable, unshakable feeling that she was being watched. Standing on the terrace, she suddenly felt vulnerable and overwhelmed, but she refrained from telling Oliver. She didn’t want him to worry any more. But still—it was there—the feeling that someone was watching her. Watching and waiting. She let go of her anxiety and they watched in friendly silence as the fireworks exploded, the Ferris wheel spinning behind them. They lived in London for several months, but had yet to visit any of these usual tourist spots. Not that they were supposed to have fun there – though with Kingsley Martin around, the fun was never far off.

— There are two of you! Kingsley walked quickly, joining them on the terrace with a cheerful company of guests. The party was his idea—the entourage that made up the London Coven rallied for one last cheer this year. He was tall and handsome, with a wildly disheveled black tie, a bow peeping slyly from the collar of his shirt. They had Kingsley, and therefore formal suits and vintage champagne.

– Let’s celebrate the new year with style! he insisted. Kingsley and his friends were wearing conical hats with bright signaling horns that shot out from the tongues of the papers. He handed Schuyler the sparkling object and she waved it from the balcony, sharing a smile with Oliver as sparks flew through the night air. The countdown began and they joined the venator – Ten, nine, eight, seven… three two one…

The noise was deafening as the orchestra blew Beethoven’s Fifth and fireworks exploded from large cannons.

“Happy New Year,” Oliver wished.

– HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS! yelled Kingsley, giving each of his friends a sloppy, drunken kiss on the cheek before leading a merry band playing “Good Old Time” in his rich baritone. Schuyler exchanged an amused smile with Oliver. During the past few months, two of them have acted effectively as Venator jailers, parents, and proxies; and while Schuyler was glad to see him in high spirits, Kingsley could be carefree and she worried about him.

“Happy New Year, Ollie,” she said, kissing him on the cheek, remembering last New Year’s Eve spent with him watching the balloon descend Times Square on television. Once upon a time, Schuyler longed to experience the truly great side of the New Year—to kiss someone at midnight, to be able to wear a beautiful dress, to look forward to the coming year in the arms of the boy she loved. She squeezed Oliver’s hand gently, just as her heart ached with true love. Several months had passed since she had said goodbye to Jack Force in the deserts of Egypt. Another climate, another life. She promised him that she would move forward with her quest in her mission; forget about love in favor of duty. She remembered her last night with him, how he held her, how they hid in each other, skin against skin, breath against breath, not wanting to separate, not even for a moment. What happened to Jack?

Is he still alive? Mimi killed him? Schuyler didn’t know. There was no way to know. For many months there was no sign of either of the Force twins. The coven is broken, the vampires are in retreat – there was no news anywhere.

“I’m sure Jack is alive,” Oliver said, reading her mind as usual.

She wanted to throw herself into his arms, wrap her arms around him right there, in the middle of the library, in front of everyone. But she was too afraid that it was unreal, that she might be hallucinating. It was too good to be true, and she couldn’t help but believe him.

— Where have you been? she asked.

“Right here, always,” he said.

Now her heart was bursting in her chest, and she felt as if she could not breathe. Jack. Alive. She felt herself suffocating with such joy.

“Let’s go,” he said and led her outside to a park bench, the books forgotten.

“Hey,” he said, taking her hand.

She reached out to him and squeezed it. Schuyler trembled the entire time. She wanted to scream, but she was too happy. She kept her hand on his arm, wrapping it tightly, unable to believe what was in front of her.

— How? she asked. – I do not understand. But really, where have you been all this time?

“I was looking for you,” he said. — I left, and when I woke up, I was on the side of the road. Someone stopped, picked me up and took me to the hospital. I had no idea who I was. But the memory slowly returned.

– I saw that you died.

“So it was,” he said. “But, like all vampires, I was given a choice, and I made the decision to return. Since then I have been looking for you.

“I’ve been here all this time, waiting,” she said.

She brought the fallen to Paradise. In the Garden of Eden, all vampires have been forgiven. The curse was lifted and the lost children of the Almighty were given a choice. They could ascend to Heaven, or return to the center of the world and continue their immortal life. But the way back home would always be open to them when they get tired of their earthly life. Paradise would welcome a fair decision and favor among them, as it did for the Red Bloods.

The ransom was now in their hands. Salvation is a separate choice.

Most of the fallen have made the decision to return home to the Garden they lost so long ago. But Schuyler decided to return. She was half human. She still had family and friends, and she couldn’t imagine that Paradise would bring anything but grief without her love.

She brought Jack’s warm hand to her cheek and saw that he was still wearing his pairing ring on his left finger. Just like she wore hers.

Their rings flashed in the sunlight.

– What will happen to us now? Schuyler asked.

But somehow, she knew. They were together. One day they would have children. She was half mortal; she was endowed with the gift of birth. Children. Hope. Blessing. There were so many things to look forward to.

In truth, this was only the beginning of their story.

Then, finally, they kissed. His mouth found hers, she felt his arms around her waist. She sat on his lap, and he held her and kissed her, and she answered him, and his head was against her chest. She ran her fingers through his soft hair.

Jack returned to her. Jack was alive.

“I didn’t know,” she said. – I missed you. I didn’t know you would come back to me. I thought you were lost forever.

“You made a sacrifice,” said Jack. “And Heaven has rewarded you!”

Regent and Guide

Oliver Hazard-Perry watched as the conductors made the final adjustments, rubbing the surface here, adjusting the frames there. It took three long years to restore the vault, but it was finally ready. The shiny shelves were once again stocked with books and documents from the real history of the world, and the guides were busy updating files, keeping track of every remaining member of the Coven.

Oliver realized that Schuyler and Jack had made their choice to stay away. They longed for a normal life. After Schuyler finished her story, they told him about their plans to settle in California, next to her grandmother. They seemed happy and content, and Oliver was happy for them. He was happy for them all, Mimi and Kingsley, Bliss and Lawson, his friends and peers.

But there was no time to do business, there was a Committee of meetings to discuss, the rules must be enforced; it was necessary to train new Venators to fill the ranks. The coven must be restored for those who choose to stay.

Oliver was glad that his studies at Columbia University did not interfere with his work. He should be here in New York, not far from the headquarters. There was so much work there. The Nephilim and the Gates of Hell still existed, everything had to be protected. The Praetorian Guard will keep time passages safe from harm, and Kingsley and Mimi will watch over the underworld.

Oliver still couldn’t believe his luck. He knelt down at the foot of the Most High. What reward did Oliver find? He asked for the most precious thing that cherished him.

— How are you? the voice asked.

He looked up and smiled.

Finn Chase stood with her hand on her hip. She was so beautiful, and her blue eyes sparkled with life and fun. She moved to New York to work, as Oliver suggested to her.

He nodded.

– We’re almost there. We will resume on schedule.

“Good,” she said, sitting on his desk. – We have time?

– She asked. – Before?

He smiled.

– We have all the time in the world.

Then he took her in his arms and inhaled her sweet scent, and she fainted from his body.

He bared his fangs, sharp incisors like needles and thrust them into her neck and drank her blood.

She was his body and soul. Her blood sustained him, and together they forged a new path.

They were together.

Vampire and familiar.

Regent and Guide.

Bye…

Places to go with the best weather

For beach lovers, this is the beginning of the best time to experience exotic destinations from southeast Asia to the Indian Ocean, and across to the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, city slickers can make the most of places such as Marrakech, Cape Town, and Sydney for some respite from the winter chill. Read on to discover more about our pick of destinations with great holiday weather in December:

Short haul

Long haul – up to 10 hours

Short haul: Luxor, Gambia & Marrakech

The trick to finding a holiday destination with the right weather for you is to know what you want. For truly hot and sunny conditions you’re inevitably going to have travel that bit further.

However, if it’s just a hint of winter sunshine to warm your face, then you may be able to stay closer to home.

For delightfully sunny weather in December, the nearest destination is Egypt. Consider heading inland to the Nile region where Luxor enjoys temperatures up to 25°C and nine hours of sunshine per day, although you will most likely want a hotel with a heated pool.

If you have your heart set on the Red Sea, however, make for Marsa Alam on the west coast, which is a few degrees warmer than Sharm el Sheikh with temperatures up to 25°C, just over eight hours of sunshine per day, and sea temperatures reaching 24°C.

The much loved resort of Sharm el Sheikh is still an option for some, but again it depends what you want. As the sea temperature dips to around 23°C, it’s not the best time to be swimming, although you may prefer the cooler conditions (when compared to summer) and make do with a heated pool.

Turning up the heat, we head southwest to Gambia where you’ll find fantastic beach weather in December. With up to eight hours of sunshine each day, temperatures reaching 31°C, and high heat and humidity, Gambia ticks all the boxes.

The sea is a pleasant 25°C, and although this isn’t as balmy as you’d find further afield in December (you can thank the cold Atlantic current), it’s still warm enough for many to have a good splash about, and there are plenty of water sports on offer here.

Meanwhile, for an easy city break in December, you can’t beat Marrakech. Temperatures peak at around 19°C, so it’s not weather for lying out in.

However, it’s glorious for wandering around the souks, visiting the many historic sites, and even heading into the Atlas Mountains for a hike – just remember to take your layers as it gets chilly in the evening when temperatures sink to around 6°C.

You may be considering the Canary Islands, which are renowned for their welcoming weather all year. For daily highs around 20°C and at least six hours of sunshine per day, the likes of Tenerife and Gran Canaria are delightful, and December is a good time to experience their quieter sides.

It’s definitely not a destination for water babes though, as the weather sees the sea drop to around 20°C, which is positively bracing.

Long haul – up to 10 hours: Barbados, St Lucia & Miami

There’s great news for those willing to fly a little further is that many destinations in this bracket have idyllic weather in December. We’re talking picture-perfect paradise conditions, which can only mean one thing: the Caribbean.

From the end of November the region is not only out of its hurricane season, but also entering its driest time, which typically means it’s cooler than the summer months (read: more comfortable heat), but crucially, much drier and less humid.

Room with a view, Barbados © cmrlee – Flickr Creative Commons

The islands of Barbados and St Lucia are big hits, with lovely weather. Barbados is a few degrees cooler than Gambia with temperatures reaching 29°C, however, the sea temperature is very inviting at 27°C.

You’ll find up to nine hours of sunshine per day, and warm evenings, and although there’s a high level of heat and humidity, it’s still lower than during the summer months.

Given it’s location in the southern Caribbean, Barbados also benefits from being a little sunnier than some of its northern neighbours such as Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.

The weather in St Lucia is very similar to Barbados, with just a little less sunshine (up to eight hours) and only moderate heat and humidity.

Further north into the USA, Miami is surprisingly superb with weather that rivals that of Sydney.

Temperatures in the sunshine state’s main city can surpass 24°C, with no heat and humidity (unlike further south in the Caribbean), and sea temperatures which reach an agreeable 25°C – that’s two degrees warmer than Sydney whose waters are just starting to warm up.

Generally speaking, you can find excellent holiday weather in December within 10 hours of the UK if you stick to those northern hemisphere countries with dry seasons at this time.

You’ll be able to relax in hot and sunny conditions without travelling quite as far as you might have thought necessary for truly enjoyable conditions.

Back to top

Long haul – 10 hours or more: Goa, Cape Town, Malindi & Sydney

If a long haul flight is no obstacle, then your options for finding great weather open up even more. Consider heading south to the scenic sites of South Africa.

Cape Town blossoms at this time, with long sunny days, temperatures up to 24°C, and no less than 10 and a half hours of sunshine, although there is likely to be some passing cloud thanks to its coastal location.

Cape Town is a fabulous choice for those after comfortable weather somewhere with a bit of everything, from cosmopolitan bars and restaurants to historic sites and stunning landscapes.

It’s not, however, one for swimmers, as the sea here is terribly cold at around 18°C. Instead, head inland to the winelands of beautiful Stellenbosch, less than one hour from the city, and with an added extra 30 minutes of sunshine each day.

For comparison, the weather in Cape Town equates to something like Majorca or the Algarve in June, without the inviting sea temperatures.

Looking northeast to the Kenyan coast, you’ll find the white sandy shores and crystal clear waters of Malindi. Sitting just south of the equator, Malindi has a true summer vibe, with temperatures hitting 31°C, high heat and humidity, and warm Indian Ocean waters at 28°C.

Unlike some of the other destinations mentioned, Malindi also remains relatively warm during the night, rarely dipping below 23°C.

You may catch a brief shower here, but it’ll be the tropical, likely to pass quickly, type. It really is a spectacular option for those after terrific holiday weather in December and is the epitome of a luxurious beach break.

Going further northeast still to the eastern edge of the Arabian Sea, Goa is also a pleasing contender, with very similar weather to Malindi.

Known for its variety of beach resorts, be it flash and simple, India’s leading holiday destination promises around nine hours of sunshine per day with largely cloud-free skies, high heat and humidity, and temperatures up to 32°C.

The biggest selling point for both Malindi and Goa, however, has to be the sea temperatures, which are by far the warmest on our list at 28°C.

Finally, we skip to the land down under, where Sydney is gearing up for summertime. Here you’ll find long, fairly sunny days, with highs of 25°C, and low heat and humidity.

As it’s early on in the season, the sea temperatures haven’t yet had time to store any real heat, so it can be nippy for swimming at 22°C. However, there is a world of attractions, bars, restaurants, galleries and so much more to see and do in the popular Australian city.

If you’re still weighing up your options regarding the weather in December 2022, you can read more over in our article where to go on holiday in December feature.

26 cheap destinations in 2022 with great weather in December

A few parts of Latin America are still rainy in December, but most of it is clear and enjoying the best climate of the year. Every single city on this list and in these regions will get more crowded and expensive just before Christmas, so visit earlier if you are looking for bargains.

The Caribbean

The Caribbean generally has excellent weather in December, although sometimes the rainy season keeps going through the first week or so. Cancun is the most popular destination in the area and it has perfect weather starting in December.

If you are mainly looking for a place to relax on the beach and take a couple boat trips or water sports, you might consider just booking at an all-inclusive resort. There are hundreds of them in the Caribbean and they have to compete for guests by offering prices that can seem suspiciously low, but most of them actually deliver what they promise for those low rates.

17 Cheapest Caribbean all-inclusive destinations

32 Caribbean destinations from cheapest to most expensive

Cancun, Mexico

December avg high: 83°F/28°C

December avg low: 70°F/21°C

December avg precip: 3.8″/9.5cm

Cancun is far more popular than any Caribbean island because it is easier to reach and there is excellent infrastructure for visitors. It has a perfect Caribbean climate, although there might be a downpour or two early in December, although those tend to last 15 minutes or less and can be refreshing.

When planning a trip to Cancun it’s important to choose the best area for your style. Cancun itself is mainly a long L-shaped strip of resort hotels and timeshares along a beach, with very few other restaurants or shops between them. If you want to stay in your resort the whole time, Cancun itself is a good choice. But about an hour south of Cancun by shuttle you can be in Playa del Carmen, which is an actual fun tourist town filled with shops, bars, and restaurants. If you want to sample different things on your trip, Playa del Carmen is a better choice. The island of Cozumel is just across the water from Playa del Carmen and it’s kind of a hybrid of the other two. And Tulum is a bit south of those and it’s a smaller and more artsy town that is gaining in popularity in recent years. All of these choices are served by the Cancun airport and are easy to reach from there.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

December avg high: 84°F/29°C

December avg low: 73°F/23°C

December avg precip: 0.8″/2.0cm

As December begins in the Caribbean, the hurricane season is officially over and the weather is pretty much perfect by any standard. Punta Cana is the Dominican Republic’s most popular resort areas, especially for those who aren’t particularly interested in absorbing the local culture. This is a resort area with wonderful beaches and not much history.

Unsurprisingly, the end of December is the beginning of the peak season for resort prices, so those who are able to come earlier in the month will be getting better deals. Still, the all-inclusive resorts are locked in heavy competition all year so this area can be a great deal compared to the alternatives, even in high season. If you are looking for where to go in December for an all-inclusive beach holiday, this is your best option for most people.

The Dominican Republic is also on the list of countries that no longer have COVID or vaccination restrictions as of July 2022, so you should be able to book without concern. Needless to say, it’s a good idea to keep you eye on the news in case things get worse again, but everything in Punta Cana is outdoors so it’s a pretty safe place to be regardless.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

December avg high: 85°F/29°C

December avg low: 73°F/23°C

December avg precip: 1.6″/4.0cm

As with other Caribbean resort destinations, the weather in Montego Bay is perfect in December, and the first half of the month is still cheap for flights and resort prices. The weekend before Christmas is when peak season here starts, and if you book early enough you can still get a good deal then, but don’t expect many last-minute bargains during that period.

Montego Bay’s busy airport has cheap flights from most major hubs including many in Europe, so it’s one of the easier places to reach as well. If Montego Bay itself doesn’t sound perfect then you might instead consider Negril or Ocho Rios, both of which are about 90 minutes from the same airport and each has a different feel.

Jamaica also finds itself on the list of countries that have dropped COVID restrictions and hopefully things stay that way. Like the other tropical islands, guests here spend all of their time outdoors or in their private hotel rooms, and tend not to congregate in great numbers even outdoors.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

December avg high: 86°F/30°C

December avg low: 64°F/18°C

December avg precip: 0.9″/2.3cm

The destinations above are good choices for anyone in Europe or the eastern half of the US or Canada, but those in the western US and Canada should consider Puerto Vallarta instead. Unlike many other tropical resort destinations, Puerto Vallarta is a real town with history and an interesting downtown area right on the beach.

The December weather is pretty much perfect and dry, and airfares and hotel rates are very reasonable up until Christmas itself. If you are in California you might also consider Los Cabos (see below), although Puerto Vallarta is more interesting and usually cheaper as well. This is definitely one of the best places to go in December if you are anywhere near the Pacific Ocean.

It’s worth noting that while the hotel prices listed below are real, those are not typical of larger chain hotels on the beach. If you want to stay in, say, a Marriott on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, you are going to be paying much closer to US$200 per night for two people.

Los Cabos, Mexico

December avg high: 80°F/27°C

December avg low: 58°F/15°C

December avg precip: 0. 6″/1.4cm

While Puerto Vallarta is a classic and traditional Mexican beach resort area, Los Cabos is much newer and very different. One important thing to note is that the evening temperatures in Cabo in December are cool enough that you’ll need to bring a light jacket or sweater, so if you want a real tropical destination you’ll want to go elsewhere. The weather is dry and very pleasant though, so Cabo has become a very popular and trendy winter destination for celebrities and other rich folks in the last decade or so.

Los Cabos is the name for the whole area, but it’s really two towns that are also quite different. Cabo San Lucas is in the west and it’s built around the large and somewhat glamorous marina. This is also where you’ll find the famous Land’s End arch that is in every photo of Cabo. About 30 minutes away by car to the east is San José del Cabo, which has a newer and more modern town center and is close to the airport. There are also really nice beach resorts stretching along the coast between the two towns, so if you don’t want to go bar hopping or do much shopping, you might be better booking at one of the stand-alone resorts in between.

Guanacaste, Costa Rica

December avg high: 91°F/33°C

December avg low: 70°F/21°C

December avg precip: 0.5″/1.3cm

Costa Rica is known as the adventure travel capital of Central America, partly because a third of the country is national parks. But Costa Rica is also famous for beaches, and the best ones are mainly clusted along the northern Pacific coast in the Guanacaste region. The nearby Liberia Airport provides a convenient way to get in and out quickly.

Tamarindo and Smara are two of the most popular beach areas, but there are other good choices in the area as well. This part of Costa Rica is known for large chain resorts on the beach, and the 4-star resorts can be pricey, while the more traditional 3-star hotels are still very reasonable. Costa Rica is obviously one of the hot countries in December in both temperature and popularity, so book early.

Mexico City, Mexico

December avg high: 69°F/21°C

December avg low: 44°F/7°C

December avg precip: 0.2″/0.5cm

Surprising to some people, December can actually be a bit cool in Mexico City, especially at night. Its elevation keeps it mild all year, but at least the rainy season is totally over by December, so it’s an ideal month for a cheap cultural holiday, perhaps combined with a trip to one of Mexico’s many beach resorts. You can get cheap flights between Mexico City and Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, for example. This could be a good place to do some Christmas shopping because they have huge shopping centers with appealing prices, while in the beach resorts it tends to be cheap souvenirs and bathing attire.

As Christmas approaches the city will fill up much more, so if you can go early in the month you’ll be much better off. But even if you can’t go before the last week of the month you’ll still find Mexico City to be a tremendous bargain compared to pretty much anywhere else in North America. It’s a great shopping destination, and not just for goofy souvenirs, so that’s something to think about as well.

Cartagena, Colombia

December avg high: 86°F/30°C

December avg low: 76°F/24°C

December avg precip: 1.3″/3.3cm

By early December the rainy season is pretty much over in Cartagena, and it cools down just a bit more as well, so the weather really doesn’t get any better than this. As with most others on this list, right around Christmas you’ll find that hotels get more expensive and are more crowded, so if you can go earlier in the month you’ll be paying less and dealing with fewer crowds.

Cartagena is becoming a very popular winter beach destination for people from North America, and it’s still a fantastic bargain compared to better known places, but it might not stay that way forever. As Colombia gets more popular (and as long as it stays safe) then prices should keep going up at these resort towns.

Lima, Peru

December avg high: 76°F/24°C

December avg low: 66°F/19°C

December avg precip: 0.0″/0.0cm

While December is quite busy in Lima, as a very popular summer beach destination for South Americans, it’s also still very reasonably priced so it’s worth considering if you are exploring the continent. The beaches aren’t spectacular as they are in Brazil and elsewhere, but Lima is still a great summer city with great outdoor life this time of year.

The food, including its famous ceviche dishes, is a particular highlight here, and the tourist district of Miraflores is packed with interesting and cheap restaurants. Basic and cheap hotels are in the same neighborhood, so it’s a better alternative to the historic center of Lima for most people. By the way, the rainy season in Cusco starts in December, so the trails can sometimes be cut off, although many people go anyway.

It’s worth noting that Peru quietly had one of the most serious COVID situations in the world, so if cases somehow start to spike again as December approaches, it might be better to wait another year to visit Peru.

Santiago, Chile

December avg high: 83°F/28°C

December avg low: 54°F/12°C

December avg precip: 0. 1″/0.3cm

The weather during December is Santiago is pretty much perfect, with warm days and nights cool enough so that anyone can sleep without needing air conditioning. This is obviously part of high season in Santiago, although the first half of the month won’t be as crowded or expensive as the second half.

It’s true that Santiago is not considered a top-flight destination by everyone, but it’s a fantastic base for a trip involving several stops in Chile, especially this time of year. There’s the Colonial town of Valparaiso and many adventure towns in the mountains, so you can get a bit of everything in at very reasonable prices.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

December avg high: 83°F/28°C

December avg low: 65°F/18°C

December avg precip: 4. 1″/10.3cm

Unlike most cities on South America’s west coast, Buenos Aires has fairly consistent rainfall all year long, and you might see a bit of the wet stuff even during December. Still, the temperatures should be ideal for being outdoors, and this is really mostly an indoor city anyway, so when it does rain you’ll be able to pop into a shop or museum or cafe and have a great time.

Hotel prices definitely go up in around Christmas so it’s best to come early in the month if that’s possible, but it’s still a pretty good bargain even during the peak weeks. Book early if you can because the better and cheaper hotels will fill up first, of course. Also consider a side trip to the Mendoza wine region, Patagonia, or the amazing water falls of Iguazu.

Some good news for foreign visitors in 2022 is that the value of the Argentine currency has dropped dramatically once again. There has also been quite high domestic inflation, but things here are still ridiculous cheap if you are coming from the US or Canada this year. Look into the exchange rate situation before you go because visitors can typically get a far better exchange rate if they bring new US dollars into the country than if they just put things on their credit cards.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

December avg high: 88°F/31°C

December avg low: 72°F/22°C

December avg precip: 5.1″/12.8cm

December is yet another fantastic month for weather in Brazil, although you can expect some short tropical rain storms a couple times each week, usually only an hour or so each time. It’s also getting warm enough that you are going to want a hotel with air conditioning to get to sleep at night, since it’ll be warm and muggy even in the wee hours.

As with most on this list, hotels get very full and more expensive just before the Christmas holidays, so it’s better to come early in the month if possible. That way you’ll have your pick of places at some surprisingly good room rates, even at some high-end places on the famous beaches. If you are coming during Christmas then book a hotel NOW because they’ll be full and will keep getting more expensive the longer you wait.

The Brazilian currency dropped in 2019 and it has stayed low in the last few years, so the country is cheaper these days than it has been in around a decade.

Warm Weather December Vacations in Hawaii
Oahu, Hawaii

The island of Oahu, Hawaii is one of the most stunningly beautiful islands in the United States, and December is a great month to visit!

The weather in December is warm and nice (without being too hot). Temperatures range from a high of 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) to a low of 66 degrees Fahrenheit (19 degrees Celsius), and the island is still not too busy compared to June and July, the busiest months for Hawaii.

Lanikai Beach at sunrise!

There are lots of amazing hikes and sightseeing activities to enjoy in Oahu. The island has nice white sand beaches all over, with two of the very best being Lanikai Beach and Sunset Beach.

There are also numerous scenic hiking trails in Oahu, including beginner and family friendly hikes like the Diamond Head Hike near Waikiki, or the Lanikai Pillbox Hike near Kailua. If you want more of a challenge, you can attempt the strenuous Koko Head Hike (also known as the Koko Crater Trail).

In December, you can often spot whales, Hawaiian monk seals, or sea turtles in Oahu! The whale watching season generally runs from December to May, as this is when the whales like to come to the warm waters of Hawaii. You can sometimes see whales from shore, or you can try to get a closer look with a whale watching tour or boat charter.

If you enjoy holiday-related activities, look for beautiful light displays in different parts of the island, from City Lights in Honolulu to the Kapolei City Lights.

Suggested by David of The World Travel Guy

Maui, Hawaii

December is a wonderful time to visit Maui! Daytime highs are generally in the low 70s, perfect for exploring outdoors, and water temperatures in the high 70s, ideal for swimming, snorkeling at Molokini, and other water activities.

Winter is whale-watching season in Maui. These majestic mammals migrate to the warm waters of the ʻAuʻau Channel, between Maui and Lanai, to breed. Join a whale-watching cruise or kayak tour to see the humpback whales up close.

Another highlight in December is the annual lighting of the Banyan Tree. This gigantic tree is located at Banyan Tree Park at the heart of former whaling village Lahaina. At the beginning of December, the Maui Banyan is decorated with thousands of lights, creating the most mesmerizing spectacle.

Another advantage of visiting Maui in December is that the waterfalls can be admired in their full glory. Drive the Road to Hana to enjoy the lush vegetation and see the many waterfalls! It’s one of the best things to do in Maui.

You won’t have to get up too early in December to experience the sunrise atop Haleakala, but if you do plan to visit higher elevations, pack warm clothing. The summit of Haleakala has been known to get snow in the winter!

Do try to plan your vacation in the first half of December, when prices for accommodation and rental cars on Maui are much more reasonable than during the winter holiday rush.

Big Island, Hawaii

Plus, between the warm ocean water and pleasant weather, December is the perfect time to bust out your swimsuit and celebrate the holidays on one of the island’s stunning beaches.

Erupting fire and steam at Kilauea Crater

While many travelers make their way to Hawaii just for its beaches, the Big Island offers so much more. For example, consider manta ray snorkeling in Kona, the popular resort city on the west side of the island.

You’ll get to swim (at night!) offshore and observe the fifth largest species of fish on the planet glide and somersault sometimes inches beneath you.

For a different kind of adrenaline rush, check out Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, home to one of the most active volcanoes on the planet.

Even if you’re not lucky enough to time your visit with an active lava flow, check out the Kīlauea Iki trail, where you’ll hike through an incredibly lush rainforest down to a massive solidified lava lake, from an eruption over 50 years ago.

Trunk Bay on Saint John

Virgin Islands National Park offers hiking that will lead you to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean for world-class snorkeling through calm, crystal clear waters. You can also see the many historic sites around the park, including the Sugar Mill Ruins and the Petroglyphs of Reef Bay.

Because of its size and few accommodation options, St. John makes for a secluded getaway. However, if you want to really live on island time, head to the east side of the island, to Coral Bay. This is a great spot to watch the sunrise on a breezy morning: you’ll likely run into some of the island’s friendly donkeys around here.

Coral Bay is also home to the popular Lime Out, Floating Taco Bar, a must-do when you’re in St John! You can only get to this lunch spot by boat, so plan accordingly!

There’s so much adventure and history in St John, there’s no doubt it’s worth visiting in December!

December is a wonderful time to hike in Joshua Tree, because you can explore outdoors without overheating. Joshua Tree’s hikes will take you along boulder piles and through the unique trees, and you can spot birds and reptiles, and if you’re lucky, foxes and bighorn sheep.

Some of the best hikes in Joshua Tree include the Hidden Valley Nature Trail and the Barker Dam Nature Trail. Try going up Ryan Mountain if you’re looking for something more challenging.

Another reason that Joshua Tree is amazing in December is the stargazing. Though the remote desert is a great place for stargazing all year, the early sunsets in December mean you don’t have to stay up late to see the Milky Way! After the sun sets, stay in the park to stargaze.

One of the best things about visiting Joshua Tree in December is that it’s close to the holidays, which means you can see some amazing light displays in nearby cities. Palm Springs is close to the park, and you can go up the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to see the annual Tree Lighting.

Warm Places to Visit in Florida in December

Miami, Florida

Miami is a great destination to visit in December. The weather is warm, with average highs of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24℃) and lows of 66 degrees Fahrenheit (19℃) and there are loads of things to do in Miami.

Stroll down Ocean Drive. This iconic Miami street is lined with art deco buildings, restaurants, and cafes. It’s the perfect place for people to watch and enjoy the Miami atmosphere.

Fireworks in downtown Miami!

If the art deco district interests you, it is best to visit at night, as then you’ll see all the neon signs and colorful canopies giving it that electric vibe.

A walking tour is a great way to go sightseeing in Miami, especially if it is your first visit to the city. Consider this highly-rated food and walking tour of Little Havana, or this art deco walking tour!

A night bus tour is another great option, to see the city lit up at night.

Go for a swim at Miami Beach. December is the perfect time to enjoy the beautiful warm waters and white sand beaches of Miami Beach. You can sunbathe, swim, or just relax on the beach and soak up the Miami sun (remember your sunscreen though!).

NightGarden is a wonderful holiday experience at the Fairchild Botanical Garden, with lights and special effects. Pinecrest Gardens has its Nights of Lights, with large illuminated installations: a must-see!

The Lower Keys and Key West, Florida

The Florida Keys are a long stretch of tropical islands located off the southern tip of Florida. They make for a fantastic vacation in the winter, with daytime highs in the low 70s and a plethora of activities, both water- and land-based.

Beautiful Bahia Honda Key

Key West is a must-include on your Florida Keys itinerary, but because it’s an extremely popular winter vacation destination, it is also extremely crowded (and expensive), so you’ll also want to spend a part of your vacation in the Lower Keys, which are beautiful and a little more relaxing.

In Key West, visit the southernmost point in the USA marker, take the ferry to Dry Tortugas National Park (which features a pristine beach!). Snorkel in the crystal clear waters, and take a sunset cruise!

Spend time at Mallory Square in the evenings, to watch musicians and other performers display their skills. Afterwards, enjoy the pulsing vibrant ambience of Duval Street, where you’ll find many quality eateries.

Bahia Honda State Park, located in the Lower Florida Keys, is a must-visit on your vacation. The snorkeling is excellent, and there are scenic walking trails and beautiful water views to enjoy.

The Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary is another wonderful spot to include in your itinerary if you enjoy underwater exploring. Snorkelers and divers can see many species of coral here, along with numerous species of fish.

The Lower Keys offer other popular activities, such as boat tours, and are a great wildlife viewing and birding destination. Look for the endangered key deer!

Orlando, Florida

Orlando’s warm weather is what makes it so alluring in December. Through the winter, daily average temperatures range from 70 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.

It’s a great time of year to visit Orlando’s famous theme parks with your family and friends, because it’s not as hot and the humidity levels are significantly lower than in the summer.

Downtown Orlando, lit up!

Orlando offers a festive atmosphere in December, with everything from Christmas parties at the Magic Kingdom to breathtaking ice sculpture exhibits at the Gaylord Palms.

You can enjoy exhilarating events and rides at the theme parks whenever you visit Orlando, regardless of the season. However, both Disney World and Universal Resort have a significant wow factor if you visit during the winter.

It is not necessary to be at a Walt Disney World theme park to enjoy the fireworks display. From the pier of the Grand Floridian, you can watch the Electrical Water Pageant and the fireworks over the lake that are part of the Magic Kingdom. It is one of the best free things to do in Orlando.

Although Orlando doesn’t get snow in the winter, you can still enjoy winter activities here! Go indoor ice skating at RDV Sportsplex, where you will find an Olympic-sized ice rink and lots of enjoyable public skate sessions you can join, or enjoy outdoor ice skating on I-drive.

Sanibel Island, Florida

Southwest Florida is one of the premier places to visit in December when the weather up north turns cold, and the island of Sanibel and Captiva is perfect for a laid-back beach holiday. Daytime temperatures here tend to be in the mid 70s in December!

Sanibel Lighthouse and the sandy beach at Lighthouse Beach Park

Sanibel Island lies just off the coast of Ft. Myers on the gentle slope of the Gulf Coast. The barrier island was cut in two by a hurricane in 1921, separating it from Captiva Island across a small bridge over a narrow inlet.

When it comes to things to do, Sanibel Island is best known for shelling — thousands of beautiful seashells wash up on the shore every minute and they’re the perfect souvenir of your Florida vacation.

But December is filled with lots of fun events leading up to the Christmas and New Year holidays.

The Sanibel Boat parade features boats of all shapes and sizes representing local businesses and boat owners decked out in lights and playing music.

The Sanibel Luminary lights up the streets with holiday cheer. And the famous sand sculpting championships are always well-attended at nearby Ft. Myers Beach.

If you’re looking for a quieter and more simple family vacation spot around the holidays, Sanibel Island may become your new favorite Florida destination.

Clearwater Beach, Florida

Clearwater Beach is perfect in December because the weather in Florida is still nice and warm, but the crowds are significantly less.

In December, Clearwater Beach temperatures consistently stay between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and rarely drop below 60 degrees, making it the perfect place to comfortably enjoy the ocean without becoming exhausted by the overwhelming heat of the summer months.

Pier 60 in Clearwater Beach

Unlike most beaches in the United States, the water in Clearwater Beach is a pretty turquoise blue, and the sand is soft, powdery white. It’s one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset, and the town has even created a special festival just to honor the sunsets here.

Known as the Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival, this event occurs every single night starting two hours before dark. There are beachfront hotels by Pier 60 that will give you the best views of the sunset from your balcony.

Boat tours are a popular activity in Clearwater Beach in December. If you have children, you can take a pirate cruise where you’ll search for treasure. For adults, dolphin-watching cruises are incredibly popular.

During December, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium also becomes festive for the holidays. Habitats are decorated with Christmas lights, and even the tank divers wear costumes to look like Santa and his elves. There are also many photo spots for your kids to take memorable pictures of the event.

It is hard to imagine a Florida city nestled on the Gulf Coast as a destination for Santa Claus, but St. Petersburg, Florida turns itself into the Florida transportation depot for the jolly old man who travels around the world on Christmas Eve.

The Don Cesar Hotel is known as Florida’s “Pink Palace”

In December, you’ll discover a city gift-wrapped like a big present along with “35 miles of beach bliss.” The number one thing to do is experience Enchant, a light maze and village that turns St. Pete into a winter wonderland.

In the past, this festival has featured an Ice Skating Trail, an artisan Christmas Market, a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and holiday art installations. Plan to stay up late so you can enjoy the Magical Night Sky. The synchronized lights recreate a North Pole night.

In the morning, get up to walk your 10,000 steps by heading down to the waterfront along the pedestrian walkway to admire all the holiday displays set up. The palm trees, wrapped in garlands of red and green, look like peppermint sticks.

The final must-do is shopping for presents, as St. Pete offers numerous local businesses selling arts, crafts, books, and one-of-a-kind clothes.

Panama City Beach, Florida

Located along the Northwest coast of Florida, near Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama, is the Florida Panhandle. It is one of the warmest winter destinations in the US, yet the coastline is relatively quiet during the off peak months.

It is made up of several beach towns and cities, but one of the best places to visit and explore is Panama City Beach. There are plenty of things to do in Panama City Beach in December, including sailing to Shell Island (without the summer crowds) and exploring the protected and undeveloped barrier island.

Our review will traditionally begin with a beach holiday. December is especially loved by those who prefer tours to Thailand. The dry season continues in the country, the air temperature stays at +32 °C and above, sea water is almost the same warm – about +28 °C. The best beaches await you in Pattaya, Koh Samui, on the islands of Koh Chang and Koh Samet. Of course, there will be a lot of people on the beaches, and prices can bite (after all, the season is high), but the unforgettable impressions of the rest will pay for everything. In addition to spending time by the sea or the pool, you can get to one of the holidays: the day of the bridge over the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi or the celebration of the European New Year.

In general, Southeast Asia in December is one of the most popular destinations. Tours to Vietnam, tours to the Maldives or tours to Indonesia – an excellent beach holiday is guaranteed everywhere. Tours to India in December are no less popular. There is also a large selection of resorts, depending on the purpose of the holiday. If you come to travel around the cities with sightseeing and excursions, such resorts as Agra, Delhi, Jaisalmer, New Delhi are suitable for you (daytime air temperature here is usually comfortable +24 +25 ° С). In other resorts, such a desired winter heat reigns – from 28 ° C and above.

Beautiful weather awaits those who have chosen tours to the Dominican Republic. A really chic beach holiday will be on the east coast of the republic, where all the beauties of the water world open up before tourists: gorgeous corals, clear water and a variety of inhabitants of the seabed. Diving here is pure pleasure. The celebration of Christmas and New Year in the country also falls in December, so it will not be boring here for sure. Of the hot destinations, tourists in December are attracted by tours to Cuba and tours to Mexico. In terms of weather, Mexico is unique, like India – on the coast (resorts of Acapulco, Riviera-Maya, Cancun and other cities, including unique white beaches) about + 30-32 ° С, and in the central regions it is a little cooler – about +23 °C.

Strong heat, we note – a bad condition for recreation with young children. But this does not mean that tourists with kids will not be able to have a great time on the beach. Tours to Egypt and tours to the UAE suggest the most comfortable weather conditions for little travelers. Strong heat in December subsides, and the average air temperature during the day is kept at + 25 ° С.

Holidays in December: where to go

If a beach holiday has long been boring (it happens) and you want variety, we recommend tours to Bulgaria. In December, tourists go to the resorts of Pamporovo, Bansko and others (including those with children) for skiing. The weather for this is the most favorable: up to + 8 ° С. The same goes for tours to Turkey.

Europe will also please you with a skiing holiday: for this you should choose tours to Austria (skiing on the alpine slopes is a special pleasure), tours to Italy, tours to Switzerland, tours to France or Germany. And if you choose tours to the Czech Republic, you will plunge into the atmosphere of a merry Christmas holiday, just like in a movie. In addition, in all these countries a variety of excursions, museums, restaurants and architectural monuments are at your service.

Beer lovers should also visit Europe in December, because bright beer festivals will be held in all countries. You can go to the congress of tattoo artists in Germany (Berlin), the festival of gypsy music in Hungary (Budapest), the festival of lights in France, St. Stephen’s Day, which takes place in Ireland. There are many options for recreation.

And don’t forget about Russia. In winter, tours to St. Petersburg are always available, and with children it is best to take a tour to Veliky Ustyug, where the real Santa Claus lives.

For all questions and directions of recreation abroad and in Russia, please contact the experts of the company “Winter-Summer” by multi-channel phone +7 (343) 216-16-22.

Rest in December – Express Tour

December is the time of the pre-New Year fuss, when many tourists begin to think not only about gifts, but also about where to celebrate the holidays.

Where to go on vacation in December?

Without visa

From mid-November, there are long queues at the consulates, as there are quite a lot of people who want to go on New Year’s holidays to distant countries. Preparation for the trip will be much calmer if you go on vacation in December to visa-free countries. Those who wish to enjoy a winter holiday can not travel abroad at all – the Ukrainian Carpathians are ready to receive travelers in December.

To the beach

Despite the fact that winter begins in our regions in December, beach holidays this month remain popular among many tourists.

Comfortable temperatures at this time prevail in the southeast of the country and on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula, and rains at the beginning of winter are extremely rare here.

Holidays in Egypt in December are not as pleasant as in other months, since the air temperature here rarely rises above +25 degrees, and in the evenings the water is quite cool. The holiday season is ending in Tunisia as well: low air and water temperatures are not conducive to recreation.

Tourists who want to have an unforgettable vacation in December can opt for the heavenly Maldives with their incredibly beautiful white sand beaches and pale blue water. People go to the Maldives, first of all, for serenity and tranquility, which is so lacking in densely populated and noisy megacities.

Exotic lovers can go to the Indian state of Goa. In December, the air temperature here fluctuates between +30-32 degrees. Sunbathing, if desired, diversify with excursions. An excellent beach holiday in December abroad can also be spent in Cuba, the Dominican Republic or Brazil.

Because you can spend time alone and at the same time get high-quality service only here. On the territory of the Republic of Maldives there are many beaches with white sand, which you can only dream of in Russia on cold December days.

Holidays in the Maldives

Cuba

Another amazing place where you can lie on the beach for relatively little money. If you are lucky, you will be able to buy last-minute tours, which are offered by many travel companies in winter. Cuba is a tropical state, so even in December the air temperature is kept at +26-28°C.

Cuba is warm even in December

Mexico

Over the past few years, Mexican holidays have become more popular among foreign tourists, and service in the country has also improved.

India

Everyone knows this country from numerous films with dances and songs. But not everyone knows India as a great place for tourism. Even inveterate stay-at-homes visit this country to enjoy the local color and, accordingly, relax under the hot December sun. There are many Indian resorts where you can taste the local cuisine, take dance lessons or spend time on exciting city tours. But if we talk about the most popular place in India, then this is, of course, the state of Goa.

India is a great place to relax

United Arab Emirates

Hot beaches with clear and transparent sea is a real paradise for residents of the cold regions of Russia. Thousands of tourists come to the United Arab Emirates every year.

Greece

Great place for a family vacation, where there are many interesting sights. Since the Greeks are a religious people, they are preparing for the upcoming holidays with all responsibility.

You’ll find no less than five Blue Flag beaches and 13 nature reserves on the island, which is a recognised UNESCO biosphere reserve complete with active volcano and striking landscapes.

Mix all of this with the great Lanzarote weather, and you’ve got a natural playground just waiting to be explored, be it in the water, on foot or on two wheels throughout the year.

Naturally conditions do vary between summer and winter, the real question however, is what you want from your holiday there. If it’s hot and sunny Lanzarote weather you’re after, ideal for beach breaks, then summer is for you.

Yet, if you want warm temperatures perfect for exploring the island in all its splendour, then perhaps Lanzarote’s weather makes it an ideal winter sun option.

We’ve grouped the following information on Lanzarote’s weather into two seasons rather than four, simply because the distinction between them is less obvious than you would expect to see, say, here in the UK.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t spring and autumn periods, more that they are brief and blend seamlessly into either summer or winter.

Lanzarote’s summer – April to November

Lanzarote’s winter – December to March

Lanzarote’s summer – April to November

Lanzarote is a go-to destination for many brits in summer. It’s known for its long sunny days with hot temperatures, ideal for working on the tan or taking a dip, and vibrant party scene which comes alive after dark. There are however, a few nuances that make Lanzarote’s weather quite unique.

Temperatures in Lanzarote climb steadily from April onwards, starting at around 22°C reaching 25°C by June and 28°C by August and September.

Things start to cool down again from the end of September, dropping to around 25°C in October and 23°C by November – although this is still warm enough for those who don’t like it too hot to enjoy.

Evenings too, start to warm up from April, benefiting somewhat from the higher daytime temperatures, rising from 14°C after dusk in April to 20°C by August and September, dropping to 18°C by October and 16°C by November.

It’s worth noting that while Lanzarote weather’s characteristic lack of cloud cover is wonderful during the day, it does also prevent heat being captured and retained after dark even at the height of summer, which is why evenings are never much warmer than 20°C.

Sea breezes offer a breath of fresh air by day, and help to regulate temperatures however, if you happen to be there when Lanzarote’s weather comes into contact with the sirocco wind blowing from Africa during summer, you will notice a significant leap in the temperature.

These winds bring hot air, sand and dust from the Sahara creating sandstorms or calimas, which are a bit of a nuisance although not especially dangerous, unless you suffer from conditions such as asthma.

Calimas vary in severity and duration, lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, but are also unpredictable and difficult to forecast in advance.

Speaking of winds, Lanzarote’s weather is renowned for creating fantastic windsurfing spots thanks to the northeast trade winds, and there’s no shortage of schools or competitions to suit all levels.

It’s a popular sport during the school holidays however, you’ll find the best conditions to try windsurfing off the likes of Costa Teguise between October and March.

As for rainfall, it goes from virtually nonexistent in April and May to bone dry in June, July and August, and back to virtually nonexistent between September and November.

If for any reason you do encounter a few spots, it’s unlikely to be more than just that, and won’t interfere with your holiday plans.

You can thank Lanzarote’s comparatively flat landscape for this as, unlike some of the other Canary Islands, its lack of high mountains means clouds rarely form or produce rain. It’s for this reason that Lanzarote’s weather is typically much sunnier than any of the other islands.

As well as its famed lack of clouds, one of the most attractive elements of Lanzarote’s weather is that it doesn’t succumb to any intense heat and humidity thanks to the consistently cool sea.

This is one reason many find Lanzarote’s climate so appealing, as it’s hot and dry without becoming too sticky. Heat and humidity only really makes an appearance from June to October, and even then it peaks at a moderate level in August.

The same cannot be said for UV however, which is very high in April and May, extreme from June to August and very high dropping to moderate between September and November. A good, strong SPF is recommend for anyone visiting the island to make the most of Lanzarote’s weather at this time.

True to form for a Canary Island, Lanzarote’s weather is a victim of the cold Atlantic current which flows around the islands keeping sea temperatures down, especially when compared to destinations across the Med.

Of course, what’s acceptable varies from person to person, but it’s unlikely you’d want to be swimming, or solely reliant on the sea for your dips, in April or May which sees temperatures rise from 18°C to 19°C.

From June this does improve rising from 20°C to 22°C by August, only starting to descend once more from 21°C in November.

It is perhaps worth investing in a hotel or apartment with a heated pool to avoid any disappointment if you aren’t too sure about getting in the sea at these temperatures.

Lanzarote’s winter – December to March

Lanzarote’s winter is considered to be shorter than the summer period. If you like it hot it’s fair to say that Lanzarote weather won’t be for you in winter, but if it’s warm, sunny days great for hiking and enjoying the scenic landscape, then this is a magical time to visit, not to mention slightly quieter.

Daytime temperatures plateau in the low twenties from December to March, dropping marginally from 21°C to 20°C in January and February, before climbing again.

This makes it a very pleasant time to visit for some seasonal sunshine, but not great for a beach break. Evenings are a bit on the chilly side between 14°C and 13°C, so you will need some layers.

There is a chance of encountering a calima, and if so, you will feel an increase in temperature.

In terms of sunshine, you’ll see plenty of it between November and March, with roughly seven hours each day.

This is where Lanzarote weather comes in to its own as a winter sun destination, especially when compared to the UK at this time, which peaks with anything from one to four hours of sunshine each day.

Another win for those hoping to enjoy Lanzarote’s weather in winter without getting too hot is that there’s no heat and humidity to worry about – conditions are warm but fresh.

While there’s a brief respite from the dangerous levels of UV, it is omnipresent, rarely sinking lower than moderate even in January.

As for the sea temperature, it takes some time for the warming effects of summer to wear off, which is why it sits at around 20°C in December, dropping to 19°C by January and 18°c in February where it stays pretty much until the end of April.

We would recommend a hotel with a heated pool if you’re hoping to swim, especially with young children.

One final thing to be aware of is that Lanzarote’s weather in winter is prone to calimas, especially from February to March. These can impact on everything from visibility and transport to air quality, and can’t be relied upon to show up at the same time every year.

They can last up to 10 days, and often trigger short sharp rain storms afterwards, which can cause some localised flooding.

Lanzarote weather: summary

Given that Lanzarote’s weather is generally dry, sunny and warm, we can’t over emphasise how good the island is as a holiday destination from January to December.

As for when to go, Lanzarote’s weather follows a typical pattern of being hotter and drier in the summer, but the seasonal change is a gentle one.

Choosing when to go is really down to you and what you want from your holiday; if it’s a beach break with all the trimmings you’re best to aim for June to September. Every other month is just as great for those hoping to get a flavour of the local culture, cuisine and landscape.

Lanzarote is the fourth largest island of the Canary Islands and lies in the Atlantic Ocean. The volcanic island is home to about 142,132 inhabitants, the capital is Arrecife in the east of the island.

Lanzarote covers an area of over 530 square miles and is divided into seven regions. The metropolitan region around the capital Arrecife is the economic centre of the island, where there is a large port.

Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993. The Spanish island lies north of Fuerteventura and thus forms the northern end of the Canary Islands. Lanzarote is about 62 miles from Morocco.

Climate of Lanzarote

As on all Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a subtropical climate, which is characterized by very low rainfall. The continual north-east trade wind regularly creates winds and clouds, which, however, rarely rain due to their geographical, rather flat nature. The annual precipitation is less than 4.72 in. At altitudes of 700 metres and above, precipitation of up to 11.81 in per year is possible.

Most rainfall occurs between December and February, but it remains very manageable. Year-round mild temperatures characterize Lanzarote. In winter temperatures drop to just under 20 °C, in summer they rise up to 30 °C. The average annual temperature is around 20 °C. From July to October, the warmest temperatures are between 27 °C to 29 °C.

When to travel to Lanzarote?

It is not without reason that the Canary Islands are called the”islands of eternal spring”. Lanzarote is a true year-round destination and, together with the other Canary Islands, is also a popular refuge for sun-seekers in winter. It is dry all year round, most rain falls between December and February, but even these months are by no means considered rainy with a maximum precipitation of 2.05 in.

As the best time to travel on Tenerife we recommend the summer months, in which you can enjoy up to 11 hours of sun a day and fantastic weather. The season starts around May, ideally from mid-June to the end of October. The Atlantic Ocean is still refreshing from June to mid-November at 20 °C to 22 °C, but can be used for swimming.

Lanzarote Weather in January – Hot Warm Is It Really?

A splendid beach day in sunny Lanzarote (hard to believe it’s January, right)?

When in doubt about where to go for a sunny winter break, Lanzarote is always a good idea. No matter the season, Lanzarote is blessed with a mild climate, which makes visitors fall in love with both its beauty and its warm weather.

The Canary Islands are our top choice as the warmest destination in Europe during winter, with plenty of hours of sunshine and temperatures that still rise above 20°C during the daytime.

Is a trip to Lanzarote a good idea for the month of January?

What’s the weather like in Lanzarote in January

Lanzarote’s climate is classified as subtropical-dessert as the island is located just 125 km off the coast of Africa.

The Canary Islands are often called The Islands of the Eternal Spring, as their weather is pretty constant throughout the year, especially when compared to other countries on mainland Europe.

Average temperatures

The average high temperature in January in Lanzarote is around 20 – 21°C, while at night you can expect temperatures of around 14°C. During the day time, you will usually be able to sunbathe, while at night you will need a cardigan or a jacket to feel warm and cosy.

Average high temperature: 20.7 °C (69.3°F)

Average low temperature: 14 °C (57.2°F)

Daily mean temperature: 17.3°C (63.1°F)

In Lanzarote, the daily mean temperature is 17.3 °C in November, which is calculated as a mean between the average high temperature of 20.7 °C and the average low of 14 °C.

Record low & record high temperatures

The highest temperature ever recorded in Lanzarote in January (at Airport station) was of 27. 9 °C / 82.2 °F and the lowest was of 8.0 °C (46.4 °F).

UV Protection

Don’t skip on sun lotion, even if it is January and it doesn’t seem hot enough to burn your skin. The sun is misleading and you can get sunburns even when it’s cloudy outside, so always use UV protection, no matter at what time of the year you are visiting.

How warm is the weather in reality – actual photos from Lanzarote in January

Due to the fact that rainy days happen more often during winter months compared to the rest of the year, the island usually looks greener in January and February. The north of Lanzarote is the island’s greenest part and if you have the possibility, you should make a trip to Haria and the surrounding areas, to see a different Lanzarote from the one you may know from the arid summer months.

Golfing in Lanzarote is always a good idea and January is no exception.

The grass is always greener in winter and with temperatures around 20°C, it may just be the perfect activity for a day.

Lounging on the beach or by the pool is the no 1 activity for the island’s visitors, no matter the season.

During the winter months, the beaches may be less crowded compared to summer, but that doesn’t mean you can get a winter tan. Be careful with the sun protection and always wear lotion, as you can get sunburned easily even if you think it’s a bit cloudy.

Rainfall

Average rainfall (mm): 17 mm

Average rainy days (>=1mm): 3

Winter is the rainiest season in Lanzarote, with December being the month with the most amount of rain usually.

Although you can expect some rainy days in January also, the weather should still be mostly warm and there’s still plenty of things to do in Lanzarote when it’s raining.

The fact that it’s raining is what makes the island change its appearance and become greener, which makes the whole landscape look less arid and moon like.

Snow in Lanzarote

Does it snow in Lanzarote?

NO.

You don’t have to pack your winter boots and gloves, as there will be no snow on the island, no matter when you visit.

Sunshine hours

Lanzarote gets an average of 7 hours of sunshine per day in January, which is very similar to the previous months.

Sea temperature

Average sea temperature in January: 19.4°C / 66.9°F

Ocean temperature is measured in Puerto del Carmen.

What to wear in Lanzarote in January

Packing advice

The first thing you should throw in your suitcase is the bathing suit. Never come to the Canary Islands without your bikinis or bathing suit, unless you plan on going on a shopping trip while on the island!

The other item that shouldn’t miss from your luggage is a cardigan or better yet, a light jacket that is wind resistant and waterproof. This will be necessary especially for those evening walks by the ocean, when the temperatures drop and the wind may feel colder.

If concerned about the fashion aspect, a cardigan might do also for the ladies, for it’s always a good idea to bring a jacket with you as well.

What’s the best resort for a holiday in Lanzarote during the month of January

Although the temperatures are fairly constant throughout the island, the north tends to get more wind, which may make it seem cooler.

Costa Teguise is usually windier than Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca and out of the three, Playa Blanca may have the best weather in January and in winter in general. But this isn’t an exact science as weather is quite unpredictable nowadays, so you should make the decision according to personal preferences, especially if you plan to rent a car and drive around Lanzarote to explore the island.

For more info on the subject you can read our dedicated article about where to stay in Lanzarote.

What to do in January

As the weather is great pretty much all year round, you can do in January almost anything that you can do in summer. Here’s our list of things to do in Lanzarote to convince yourself that there’s a lot to see and do on this small island.

The water temperatures may be too low for some of the visitors to venture into the ocean, so it may be a good idea to look for a place with a heated pool.

On the 5th of January there’s the Cabalgada de los Reyes Magos – the parade of the Three Magic Kings, an important event in the Spanish culture.

There are processions and parade in all parts of the island the following day, the 6th of January is a public holiday. The Three Kings will bring presents for kids on the 6th of January (just like Santa Claus in other cultures).

Walking in Lanzarote is always a good idea, as the weather in January is great for this activity since the temperature allows you to be out and about even at midday when the temperatures are sometimes unbearable during the summer months.

Is a trip to Lanzarote a good idea for the month of January?

In our opinion, YES.

However, this depends on where you’re from and what your expectations are.

If you’re coming from the UK, northern Europe, Germany or Eastern Europe, then the weather will certainly be better than at home.

It may not be scorching hot like in the summer, but with temperatures still above 20°C you simply can’t go round.

Climate Information

The enviable climate of the Canary Islands has earned them the name of ‘Islas Fortunadas’ or the Fortunate Islands and this is certainly no exaggeration. With mild winters, summers which are generally not too hot and relatively little rain, it’s no wonder so many people want to holiday — or even live — here.

At this latitude, being so close to the equator, one would expect the island to be unbearably hot, especially with such a small amount of vegetation. However this just isn’t the case, as can be seen from the annual climate chart (summary)

Cooling Effects

There are two main reasons for the island’s constant temperature, firstly the island is in the path of the North-East Trade Wind and secondly the cool Canary Current.

North-East Trade Wind

The trade winds are especially frequent in summer — just when they are needed — and are nearly constant in the month of July. They occur when the Azores anticyclone is located at its normal location near to the Canarian Archipelago.

This situation is caused by hot air over the Equator rising to great altitudes and flowing North. As the air travels Northwards, it cools causing it to sink lower again somewhere over the Azores. Due to the Coriolis force, this air then flows South-westwards towards the Canary Islands and Lanzarote.

This is why the Northern coastline tends to have higher winds than the Southern which is protected to some degree by the volcanoes in the middle of the island.

You would think that the wind travelling over the ocean would bring with it rain — which Lanzarote doesn’t have a lot of — however it doesn’t because as one of the lowest islands in the Canarian Archipelago, the mountains are not high enough to convert the moist air into rain, other than at Famara.

The area around the foot of the cliffs at Famara is quite wet however, because the cliffs are the highest point on the island and rising straight out of the sea they are basically the first thing the Trade Wind meets when it hits Lanzarote. Not that this bothers the surfers or kite-surfers for whom the location produces near perfect conditions.

Canary Current

The second cooling effect in force around Lanzarote is the cool Canary Current in the waters of the Atlantic. This is caused by the Trade Winds again, which drive the water to the Southwest along the coast of Africa, bringing colder water towards the Equator. As it moves south past the Canary Islands the current becomes faster and faster until it meets warmer water flowing North just beyond the Canaries.

This colder water cools the islands and keeps them at a spring like temperature all year round.

The Canary Current is also one of the reasons for the productivity and diversity of marine life around the Islands.

Lanzarote is at 29° Latitude, which makes it the same as parts of Florida, the Bahamas and of course it’s nearest main landmass neighbour Morocco.

These two influences combine to ensure that the weather in Lanzarote remains clement all year round and not too hot.

Hot Spells

Although the temperature is fairly constant, Lanzarote does occasionally experience a hot-spell which is usually caused by warm air being drawn directly in from the Sahara. Sometimes this air is laden with sand, which is known as a Calima. The hot spells normally only last for a few days at a time.

Yachting in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the northernmost island of the Canary archipelago. A third of the territory is filled with lava from extinct volcanoes, and scattered craters on the surface resemble the surface of the moon.

The whole island has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which makes it even more unique. There are red, black and white sand beaches.

Why yachtsmen love Lanzarote holidays

There are several fishing ports open for mooring on the island and 3 large marinas, where the trip on a yacht basically begins:

Rubicon is one of the most modern marinas in the archipelago. Designed for 460 seats.

Puerto Calero . In size, this marina is the same as the Rubicon. Its feature is desalinated water with a characteristic aftertaste. In mid-March, a 4-day sailing regatta starts here.

Lanzarote – located in the island capital of Arrecife (380 seats). Renting a yacht in this marina is convenient because the international airport is located here, in Arrecife.

There are several smaller marinas and anchorages that are mostly located on the south coast.

There are also coves along the coast, such as Papagayo Beach to the south and Playa Francesca on Graciosa.

Just one kilometer from Lanzarote is the Chinijo archipelago, which includes the small islands of Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste.

Due to high winds, few sheltered anchorages and relatively long distances between marinas and marinas, this region is more suitable for experienced and adventurous yacht charter crews.

Lanzarote Yachting Routes

Lanzarote yacht charter is suitable for those wishing to cruise the Canary Islands.

If you want short sailings and more time for a beach holiday, sailing routes around the island are your option:

Puerto Calero – Playa Blanca – Graciosa – Puerto Rosario – Arrecife – Puerto Calero.

Nearest airports in Lanzarote

Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) is located in San Bartolome, 5 km from the city of Arrecife. From Lanzarote Airport to Puerto Calero: 9.8 km and to Marina Rubicon: 33 km (35 minutes by bus).

Yachting season and weather in Lanzarote

Strong winds often blow on the island, which can create problems even for professional sailors. These waters will appeal to crews who love challenging challenges. In some places, the wind increases to hurricane force. The tides on Lanzarote can reach 3 meters.

Holidays in Lanzarote are sailing trips on a yacht all year round. The island has a mild climate, and due to the proximity of the Sahara, there is little rainfall and only slight temperature fluctuations. In August, the average temperature is +25°C, in January – +17°C.

I am grateful to Sailica and personally to the manager Kirill for their help in organizing and accompanying a 2-week catamaran charter in Croatia. Making a charter through the company Sailica significantly reduced the price that was indicated on the website of the charter company. Our questions received a prompt response at any time. There was a complete feeling that they were not just providing us with a service for money, but they were trying to sympathetically and patiently explain everything and simply help.

Friends, I would like to say a few kind words about the Sailica yacht company with which we chartered for the May holidays. I would like to note the excellent work of the company’s employees at all stages of the event, when preparing the charter, they received quickly comprehensive answers to all questions, information support and resolution of issues related to various organizational issues.

Canary Islands: climate

The geographical location of the archipelago primarily determines the unique climate in the Canary Islands . The sultry wind of the northwestern African deserts of Sirocco brings heat and sand. At the same time, the cold Canarian current of the Atlantic and the trade winds from the northeast deliver moisture and coolness. As a result, the eastern islands of the archipelago (closer to Africa) are drier than the western ones. For example, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura . There are few forests and vegetation.

In addition, volcanoes also affect the climate. The Canary Islands are very mountainous. Mountains are able to retain wind and moisture on the slopes, as well as change the temperature regime with the rise.

An impressive sight is a walk to the top of the Teide volcano ( 3718 m) on the island Tenerife . Clouds remain below the summit, which creates the illusion of flight. You can often find snow here.

A variety of different factors creates several microclimatic zones within even one island. These features climate in the Canaries inherent in the western islands – Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, Hierro.

So at the “wet” heights 400-1700 m above sea level, evergreen laurel deciduous forests of Monteverde grow mainly in the northern quarters of the islands. And at altitudes of 1300-2100 m, but already in the southern quarters of the islands, forests of endemic Canarian pine predominate. These relic trees grew in northern Africa and southern Europe about 20-30 million years ago and have almost disappeared.

The permanent Azores anticyclone brings cloudless weather to Canaries all year round. Climate of the archipelago as a whole – moderately hot trade wind tropical .

Precipitation is quite rare. In winter, there are up to 5 rainy days per month. It rains, as a rule, in the northern parts of the islands. It’s pretty windy there. There are strong waves on the ocean, which is associated with the action of wet trade winds. On the contrary, the mountains protect the southern coasts and slopes from moisture and wind. It’s calm and dry there.

An amazing feature of the archipelago that attracts tourists is its relatively constant climate. The Canary Islands for months during the year have a small “break-up” of temperatures. The weather is warm, dry and sunny for almost twelve months. In winter it is rarely colder than +10 °C and warmer than +25 degrees Celsius. In summer – rarely below +20 ° C, but often above +30 degrees Celsius. Ocean warming stable all year round – average +18…+23 °C.

Lanzarote is an island of Martian landscapes, lava and craters. Insanely beautiful place and a great destination for holidays all year round ! It is not for nothing that the Spaniards call this place “Fire Island”, because almost three hundred volcanoes are located on its territory!

Lanzarote is the northernmost of the Canary Islands and is only 140 km from Africa and 1000 km from Europe. A third of the island is covered with lifeless ash and basalt , which was the result of the last major eruption in the 18th century. Thanks to such volcanic activity, Lanzarote has acquired amazing “lunar landscapes”, which thousands of tourists come to see every year, and the island itself has acquired the status of nature reserve .

Island road trip 26-27℃ , and in winter 20-21℃ . At the same time, the water temperature all year round is approximately 20℃ .

The only thing that can be a little annoying is the wind. Due to its extreme location in the archipelago of the Canary Islands , Lanzarote was not protected from ocean winds. That is why it is a little cooler here than on neighboring islands.

How to get to Lanzarote

Transport links in the Canary Islands, as well as in general in Spain, very developed . Therefore, getting to Lanzarote is not difficult. There are several ways:

● by plane from Tenerife

From Russia it is much easier to get to the larger and more popular island Tenerife and from there fly to Lanzarote. Flights between these islands are daily and there are many of them, so you can always choose the time that is convenient for you.

● By plane from Barcelona, Madrid or another major city

There are excellent air links between major cities in Spain and the Canary Islands. You can often find very cheap tickets. For example, we flew from Barcelona to Lanzarote for only 10 euros !

● By ferry from Fuerteventura

If you decide to visit several Canary Islands in one vacation, you can also travel between them by ferry. There are about 6-7 regular flights between the islands per day, and a ticket to Lanzarote will cost you about 30 euros .

From the rest of the islands, it is cheaper and faster to get by plane.

Landmarks of Lanzarote

Timanfaya National Park

Many tourists come here solely to see this main attraction of Lanzarote – Timanfaya National Park . In this park you will feel like you are on Mars. You can’t walk around the territory of the reserve, and you can’t drive a car, so all excursions take place on a special bus .

Timanfaya Martian Landscapes

Amazing volcanic landscapes will not leave anyone indifferent, and lovers of unusual food can try fast food cooked on a natural brazier right there in the restaurant Diablo . After all, the temperature underground, just a few centimeters below the surface, reaches as much as 350℃ ! You will definitely feel the heat emanating from the ground, and you will see what happens to the straw if you dig a small hole and put it there.

Cueva de los Verdes

Another unusual attraction and a real treasure of Lanzarote. Cave Cueva de los Verdes was formed about five thousand years ago as a result of a volcanic eruption and to this day is one of the largest lava caves in the world. A river of burning lava has broken through a tunnel 6 kilometers long to the sea, and some halls reach 15 meters in height and 24 in width. No wonder the locals used to hide here from pirates!

A 9-minute passage is open for tourists0041 kilometer , and tours take place in groups in turn. The tunnel has spectacular lighting, which gives the rock an even more beautiful view, and at the end is underground concert venue .

Mirror Pond

Mirador del Rio Observation Deck

From this place, the most beautiful views of the island open up! The observation deck Mirador del Rio is located in the northern part of the island of Lanzarote at an altitude of almost 500 meters. Go here for amazing photos at clear day so that low clouds do not spoil visibility.

On a tall rock there are indoor and outdoor viewing platforms, as well as restaurant where you can drink coffee and enjoy the view through the window. From Mirador del Rio you can see the neighboring island La Graciosa , which can also be reached by boat for a small fee.

Green Lagoon (Charco Verde)

Amazing Green Lagoon , shaped like a moon, is located in the southern part of the island near the fishing village El Golfo . In the 18th century, during a strong volcanic eruption, a crater formed here, and then, under the influence of winds, the walls of the rocks collapsed. Below, this unusual swamp pond appeared, which is also called Charco de los Clicos (Charco de los Clicos).

Unusual color of the water – bright marsh

The most beautiful view opens from above, from the observation deck , where you can see the bright contrast of the blue ocean, green lagoon, black sand and reddish rocks. You can also go down and walk along the beach, in the lake there are you can’t swim – if suddenly someone has such a crazy idea.

The most beautiful view from above

The vineyards of La Geria

You should definitely visit the famous La Geria wine-growing area in Lanzarote . Wine has been made in Europe for centuries, and the Canaries are no exception. However, the last strong eruption in 1730 greatly complicated the task, covering most of the island in ash.

However, local winemakers found ways to grow grapes . It is planted in a specially dug hole, thereby protecting the sprouts from the wind and helping the roots find nutrients deeper in the soil, as well as moisture that accumulates in the morning. The vine here does not grow upwards, as we are accustomed to seeing in vineyards, but spreads along the funnel .

The vineyards of the La Geria zone

The vineyards of Lanzarote are unique and there is no other place like it. You can try this wine at wineries, but if you come to a tourist place, you should not buy a bottle right there. It is sold to tourists for fabulous money, and in an ordinary supermarket it costs the same as in all of Spain.

Jameos del Agua Caves

Another beautiful place in Lanzarote and a popular attraction is Jameos del Agua Caves . This is already several volcanic caves together, forming a beautiful complex. In the first cave there is a beautiful tropical garden with a fantastic blue pool which is really not to be used.

This place was designed by the famous local craftsman Cesar Manrique , as well as the beautiful hall inside the grotto. In the far cave there is a lake where the world’s only white blind crab lives, which has become a symbol of this place.

Beautiful garden pool

Cactus garden

This magnificent garden was the last work done by Cesar Manrique . He conceived this project on the site of an abandoned quarry, building an entire garden with cacti brought from different parts of the world. The place is decorated not only with plants, but also with interesting sculptures and figures of unusual shape, which goes well with natural landscape . This place is hard to miss – at the entrance there is a figure of a giant cactus, made by Cesar Manrique himself.

Best beaches

Lanzarote is not the place to go for kilometers of white sandy beaches. On the island of volcanic origin, most of the beaches are with black sand , and white sand is mostly artificially poured. However, there are many beach lovers and beautiful places where you can sunbathe and swim.

Beach of the Atlantic Ocean

Playas de Papagayo

This is not one beach, but several small but very beautiful bays with golden sand and emerald water . To get to the beach, you need to go down the path. Thus, the beach is closed from the winds, there are practically no waves, and you get the feeling that you are swimming in a pool. Great place for snorkeling and holidays with small children.

Beautiful cove of Papagayo beach

Playa de Famara

Beach stretching for 6 kilometers with pleasant sand and constant waves. He is famous among surfers and kitesurfers , who come to catch waves and wind. However, even if you are not one of them, it is worth stopping by and at least taking a walk along the Atlantic Ocean, enjoying the beautiful views of the coast and high cliffs. Also from here you can see the island La Graciosa .

Windy beach Famara

Playa el Risco

This beach deserves the title of the most beautiful beach in Lanzarote , although not the most easily accessible. This place is just visible from the famous observation deck Mirador del Rio. You can go down the footpath, which takes about 45 minutes . You have to climb the same amount, but it’s worth it! The main thing is to bring comfortable shoes. The water here is quite calm, nice sand and the best part – there is no one here ! Apparently people are still too lazy to go down and then up, but if you want to see a beautiful beach and stunning views of the rocks and the neighboring island of La Graciosa, be sure to go down here.

Absolutely empty beach

Playa Grande

Famous city beach , located in Puerto del Carmen with a length of more than a kilometer. It has everything: sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, shops and a promenade with restaurants and various establishments. A typical beach with all the amenities of the famous resort of Lanzarote. Suitable for families with children and people with disabilities.

Caleton Blanco

Secluded quiet coves in the northern part of the island near the fishing village of Orsola became our favorite beach during our holiday in Lanzarote in January . Small shallow lagoons warm up especially well in the sun, even if the air temperature is low, and it is very comfortable to swim in them even in winter . Here you can relax both with small children and snorkel in deep lagoons, and it is better to come at high tide .

The beach consists of many small lagoons

Playa la Cocina

This magnificent beach is located on the neighboring island of La Graciosa , which can be reached by ferry across the channel. There are generally many beautiful beaches and places for hiking and cycling, but this one is remembered precisely for its contrast of the yellow mountain and emerald water.

Sandy bay of the island of La Graciosa

Playa de las Cucharas

Great beach for families located on the Costa Teguise. It also has all the amenities and water activities, and the beach itself is 650 meters long and is surrounded by gardens.

How to spend a weekend on the moon, or my trip to the Canary Islands

Yoga instructor and avid traveler Dasha Andrianova has been traveling around the Canary Islands for three months now. Especially for our blog, she spoke about the most unusual island – Lanzarote, which, in her opinion, looks like the Moon.

My husband and I traveled to the Canary Islands three months ago. Why the Canaries? Before that, we traveled a lot in Latin America and Asia, and one day we became interested in how it is to live for a long time in Europe. Great weather all year round, the Atlantic Ocean, cheap tickets and a relatively close location to the mainland convinced us to choose the Canary Islands for a new trip.

We have visited four of the seven islands of the Canary archipelago, but neither blooming Gran Canaria, nor Martian Tenerife, nor Fuerteventura frozen in time among the sands come to us in dreams as often as fantastic Lanzarote. Seeing this island is like being on the moon.

Lanzarote is the oldest and northernmost island of the Canary archipelago. It is located 140 km from the coast of Africa. 300 years ago, volcanoes erupted here, covering the entire surface of the earth with gray ash and bringing the landscape of the island closer to the “lunar” one.

Lanzarote

What to see on the island?

We decided to explore the island by car. So you can save time on movement and see the most interesting places. The rental of an economy class car cost us 35 euros / day.

Not even ten kilometers away, we found ourselves among the scenery of the British movie “Million years before our era” at the foot of Charco de los Clicos, an acid-green lake in the heart of a volcano crater. Fast-growing algae give the unusual color to the reservoir. As a souvenir, you can buy chrysolite jewelry in local shops or try to find greenish pebbles among the sandy pebbles yourself.

Lake Charco de Clicos

Our next stop is the main attraction of the island, Timanfaya National Park. There are fire-breathing volcanoes that gave Lanzarote “lunar” landscapes. They do not interrupt their hot breath, spewing burning steam to the surprise of visitors. On the surface of the most active is the El Diablo restaurant. In the institution you can try dishes cooked on a volcanic grill. The temperature at a depth of 10 m reaches 600 °C, and on the surface – 120 °C. The cost of meals in the restaurant is slightly higher than in other places on the island, but the panoramic view of the national park and the unusual location often attract tourists here.

Volcanoes in Timanfaya Park

It is forbidden to move around Timanfaya by own transport and even on foot in order to protect the unique nature of the park. Having bought an entrance ticket (10 euros for adults and 5 euros for children), we got a tour of the park on a special bus. As if we flew to the moon, but due to the lack of oxygen, we are forced to move in an enclosed space.

Riding around Lanzarote is a real pleasure. The island was built in the same style – snow-white laconic houses with green or brown shutters. And lifeless deserts are replaced by green mountains of bizarre shapes and flowering gardens.

The observation deck Mirador del Rio (

Mirador del Rio

) offers a breathtaking view of the El Rio strait and the neighboring island of La Graciosa. Entrance costs 5 euros for adults, 2.5 for children. The site itself consists of several terraces built into the rock and a restaurant with panoramic views.

Mirador del Rio

On Sunday we went to the market in the city of Teguise (Teguise) to wander among the endless stalls, listen to music and drink a glass of wine in one of the noisy establishments. We floated in a motley stream of musicians, artisans, residents and tourists. We stopped to chat with a local winemaker, admired the boundless imagination of artists in art galleries, listened to the melodious Spanish language.

What to try in Lanzarote?

Local wine

It would seem that what can grow among volcanic ash? The resourceful inhabitants of the island each year harvest special types of grapes – malvasia and muscatel. Grapes grow in miniature craters, and each vine is protected from the wind by crescent-shaped stone shelters. The wine of the island of Lanzarote has an unusual taste due to the high sulfur content in the soil. Numerous wineries, or Bodega as they are called in Spain, are located in the La Geria region. The cost of a glass of wine in Bodega is 1.5 euros. And in supermarkets you can buy a bottle of local wine from 3 to 15 euros.

Vineyards in Lanzarote

Goat cheese

As tapas in Lanzarote, we were offered olives and local goat cheese. Semicurado – hard, aged for 3 months. Curado – spicy, ripening for 6 months. Cheese tapas will cost you 5-9 euros depending on the amount and type of cheese. And for dessert, we didn’t forget to enjoy a magical cactus, papaya and aloe vera jam (4-5 euros for 250 g).

Where to stay on the island?

Lanzarote has something for everyone. The resorts of Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, Puerto Calero are full of hotels and villas. Famara is an endless beach and wind, a paradise for surfers and young people.

We rented a room on Airbnb for 20 euros in the tiny town of

Muñique

from Spaniard Joy. He left his native Malaga for 19 years and settled in Lanzarote. How his eyes shone when he showed us his workshop, where he makes custom-made surfboards. And in the mornings, Joey sat in an armchair on the sunlit courtyard, looked thoughtfully into the distance, threw crumbs to the hens, importantly pacing back and forth, scratched the hairy dog behind the ear.

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 Playa Blanca is gradually decreasing during December, falling from 5% to 2% over the course of the month.

For reference, on August 31, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 64% of the time, while on February 2, 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 Playa Blanca.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Playa Blanca 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 Playa Blanca is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Playa Blanca and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

Lanzarote Airport (GCRR, 73%, 15 mi, northeast, -7 ft elevation change)

Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV, 27%, 29 mi, south, 30 ft elevation change)

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.

Where does this data come from?

Weather data for Playa Blanca 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 December (e.g., December 1, December 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.

How warm is Lanzarote in winter?

Playa de Famara is a nice place to visit while you’re in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is one of the smaller islands in the archipelago, but this doesn’t mean it falls behind on the weather front.

Winters in Lanzarote are mild and warm, as in all the Canaries, so if you’re planning a sunny Christmas, Lanzarote might be a great choice.

What’s Lanzarote like in December

Is Lanzarote hot in December?

Should you go on holiday to Lanzarote during the month of December?

How warm is Lanzarote in December?

In December you can usually still enjoy most days on the beach, catching up some sun and getting a bit of colour on your skin.

In the evenings you will definitely need a cardigan or jacket, so be sure to pack one for your trip.

Weather in Lanzarote in December

We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again when talking about the weather: due to climate changes, it has become really difficult to predict the weather according to a pattern.

Usually in December in Lanzarote the island gets its fair share of rain, meaning that this month is probably the one with the rainiest days out of the entire year.

But if you’re planning on spending Christmas in Lanzarote, don’t be put off by this fact. Although we can’t assure the fact that you’ll be spending Christmas day on the beach, we can tell you that rain doesn’t usually last for long here. It’s violent and hard and sometimes comes along with strong winds, but it does not last for more than 3 consecutive days.

Usually, during the day time, you can still spend time on the beach and UV protection is still mandatory, as you will burn your skin otherwise.

Average temperatures in Lanzarote in December

In December temperatures are usually in the low 20s°C during the day time, but it can feel a lot warmer when the sun is out.

It also depends on the wind on each specific day, as it can feel cooler when the wind is blowing hard.

Average high temperature: 21. 8°C (71.2°F)

Average low temperature: 15.4°C (59.7°F)

Daily mean temperature: 18.6°C (65.5°F)

In Lanzarote, the daily mean temperature is 18.6°C in December, which is calculated as a mean between the average high temperature of 21.8°C and the average low of 15.4°C.

We’ve found that Playa Blanca is more sheltered from hard blowing winds and Costa Teguise tends to be on the windier side.

But this is our personal observation and we’re sure that people who are frequent visitors to the island will return to the place that they love most in Lanzarote, a decision which is not based on the amount of wind it gets. If you’re planning your first visit to the island, then you might want to read more about where to stay in Lanzarote during your holiday.

What should you expect from a winter break in Lanzarote?

You should definitely expect some warm winter sun, but don’t be surprised if you get some rainy days as well. Or at least cloudy and cool.

December is still the beginning of winter even here in Lanzarote, so the season is changing.

We’re not trying to talk you out of coming to Lanzarote in December during the winter holidays, we just want you to have realistic expectations so that you won’t be disappointed. It’s better to be pleasantly surprised if you only get warm sunny days during your holiday here.

Christmas at the beach is always a possibility in Lanzarote and it’s a nice break from the typical image of a white snowy Christmas.

Rainfall

Average rainfall (mm): 29 mm

Average rainy days (>=1mm): 4

As we said, the island usually gets some rainy days, but it won’t last for a week as it does back in the UK.

You have plenty of things to do in Lanzarote when it rains, as the island has lots of places to visit and you can even do some shopping, especially in Arrecife.

You could also visit Cueva de los Verdes, since the tour takes you inside a volcanic tube anyway and the rain won’t bother you there.

Sunshine hours

Lanzarote gets an average of 6 hours of sunshine per day in December, so the days are shorter but you’ll still have enough sun to sunbathe and relax with a cold drink in hand.

Sea temperature in December in Lanzarote

Average sea temperature in December in Playa Blanca: 19.8 °C / 67.6 °F

The water temperature is usually warm enough for you to swim and we have been in the water in December, as well as in January and it was ok – not super warm like in the summer, but warm enough to still enjoy it.

Is Lanzarote hot in December?

It is warm but it’s not HOT.

When most people think of hot weather they imagine temperatures well above 30°C and this is unlikely to happen. Although, with the climate changes that we’re seeing, nothing is certain anymore.

But Lanzarote still gets at least 6 hours of sun per day, which is far more than most other places in Europe. Also, it will probably be warm enough for you to spend your days wearing just a T-shirt and shorts, but you’ll have to get a jacket on at night.

Should you go on holiday to Lanzarote during the month of December?

If you are happy with some winter sun (without the extreme temperatures of summer) then yes, you should go on holiday to Lanzarote this month. Christmas and New Year’s are really different and special when you’re able to walk in the sun wearing just a T-shirt, but this obviously depends on personal preference (we’re not big fans of a Christmas in the snow or on the mountain slopes).

Fuerteventura is often visible from the peak, and there are regular boats trips to the neighbouring island.

Tourists tend to flock to Playa Blanca for its year round mild temperatures – even its mildest month, January, has an average daily maximum temperature of 21 °C.

Playa Blanca, as the name would suggest is home to a series of white, man-made beaches, attracting tourists who may have otherwise been put off by the black volcanic shorelines.

Windsurfing and a variety of water sports are available at these beaches throughout the year.

The Marina Rubicon is Playa Blanca’s famous port harbour.

Playa de Poniente de Benidorm

Introducción

La playa de la que os voy a hablar en esta publicación se encuentra Alicante, en concreto, en Benidorm, y es una de las más famosas de España debido al gran número de bañistas que tiene durante todo el año y a su extensión.

Benidorm es una ciudad que hay en Alicante, y se divide en dos playas principales, la Playa de Poniente, y la Playa de Levante (de la que ya os hablé en otra publicación).

La playa de Levante es más pequeña, pero es donde se congregan las principales discotecas de Benidorm, mientras que la Playa de Poniente es casi el doble de la de Levante, no es tan divertida, pero se puede disfrutar de una mayor relajación, zonas residenciales, parques, y hay mayor espacio para los turistas.

Esta Playa tiene una longitud de más de tres kilómetros, y no solo se le llama así a la zona de arena y mar, sino también a la zona residencial y turística que limita con el mar.

Debido a la gran cantidad de cosas que ver y que hacer en la Playa de Poniente, os voy a poner lo más importante dividido en secciones en orden de aparición si comenzamos por el principio de la Playa de Poniente. Espero que os guste!

Playa

La zona de arena y mar es muy larga como ya os he escrito, y además es bastante ancha, de todas las que he visto contando con Murcia y Alicante, es la mayor playa en la que he estado hasta ahora. Aunque se va estrechando la zona de arena conforme te acercas al final de la zona de Poniente.

Además, cuenta con zonas de tumbonas y sombrillas de pago repartidas por varias áreas de la playa, zonas de juegos para niños, porterías para jugar al fútbol en la playa y redes de Volleyball. En verano también hay zonas de juegos acuáticos, con toboganes y otras diversiones para más mayores, ya que para llegar a esta zona hay que nadar un poco. También hay vendedores ambulantes de refrescos, aunque son muy caros, por lo que os recomendaría llevar vuestras propias bebidas.

Y, los últimos años, vi que hay para hacer un deporte acuático que consiste en que te coges a una lancha en un paracaídas y cuando la lancha navega tu te elevas en el paracaídas (no se el nombre concreto de esto). Yo me quedé con las ganas de hacerlo, ya que costaba 80 euros por persona, o 100 euros si eran dos. Si queréis contratar esta actividad u otras acuáticas, hay que ir al final de la Playa de Poniente, donde hay un conjunto de casetas de información turística, justo abajo de donde se encuentra el mirador (del que os hablaré más adelante).

También hay excursiones turísticas en barco, que se pueden contratar en estas casetas, y van hacia la Isla de Benidorm, o por la costa de Alicante pasando por Altea y Denia. Son muy populares entre los turistas.

Hotel Bali

El skyline de Benidorm está coronado por dos grandes y altos edificios, que son los más llamativos de Benidorm, y son muy famosos, no solo en Benidorm, sino en toda España.

El Gran Hotel Balí es famoso porque es el hotel más alto de Europa, y porque fue el edificio más alto de España hasta que fue sobrepasado por la torre Espacio (la cual se encuentra en Madrid) en 2006.

El hotel mide 186 metros de altura, tiene 52 plantas en total y está clasificado como de cuatro estrellas.

Dos curiosidades de este hotel es que alberga una carrera anual de subida de escaleras, y que también se hace salto base desde la misma.

A este edificio le tengo mucho cariño, porque yo iba mucho a Benidorm, y recuerdo cuando lo estaban construyendo, cada año que iba avanzaba más pero parecía que nunca lo iban a terminar. Y justo cuando lo terminaron, un familiar se compró una casa justo al lado, así que tuve el placer de admirarlo durante mis periodos vacacionales en Benidorm, así como de hacer el típico intento de subir en su ascensor sin que te pillaran, ya que no estaba permitido sino eras cliente del hotel, aunque mereció la pena.

La cúpula del hotel está iluminada cada noche con un color distinto, y se ve desde prácticamente todo Benidorm.

Edificio In tempo

Este edificio es el que ahora llama más la atención en Benidorm, es muy nuevo, se empezó a construir en 2007 y no se si está acabado del todo, pero la estructura si que lo está.

No solo es famoso por su altura, 180 metros, sino que lo más característico del edificio (y por lo cual os lo estoy mencionando en esta publicación) es su forma. Consta de dos torres gemelas, unidas por un cono de base elíptica en la parte alta de las torres. En mi opinión tiene forma de “M”, y por eso se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos.

Las mejores vistas se tienen desde la carretera que va hacia el edificio, es realmente impresionante verlo desde abajo: y, desde el comienzo de la Playa de Poniente en las rocas, ya que el edificio está orientado hacia la derecha, y es como se puede apreciar bien la forma de “M” de la que os he hablado.

El edificio está destinado a oficinas y residencias, no es un hotel, aunque creo que como hotel tendría muchísimo éxito.

Si queréis visitarlo, se encuentra en la Avenida México.

Jaime I

Jaime I es una calle principal de la Playa de Poniente, que está mas o menos en el centro, tirando más hacia el final, y que es bastante popular por varias razones.

En primer lugar, porque es una de las avenidas principales de Benidorm, cuando llegas a esta calle sabes donde estás y a donde te diriges, lo cual es un alivio, os lo aseguro.

Por otro lado, cuenta con una gran cantidad de tiendas de souvenirs, ropa de playa y accesorios de playa, por lo que es una zona comercial.

Además cuenta con varios restaurantes, así como con un Burger King y un Telepizza, y varios hoteles.

Los hoteles de esta avenida suelen ser más caros por la situación estratégica que tienen, pero hay otros en los alrededores de la avenida, mucho más baratos y que cumplen con la misma función. Lo único que os aconsejo es que lo cojáis lo más cerca de la playa posible, ya que la avenida está en una ligera cuesta, y cuando llevas un día cansado en Benidorm, la avenida se hace larga, os lo digo por experiencia, ya que yo me alojé una vez en un hotel al final de la avenida, y no es nada conveniente por las noches, aunque si durante el día.

Parque de Elche

El Parque de Elche es un parque alargado y estrecho que hay a orillas de la playa, en la parte final de la zona de Poniente.

El parque de Elche debe su nombre a la Dama de Elche, y hay una réplica de la famosa escultura de la Dama de Elche en uno de sus extremos.

El parque siempre está lleno de gente, ya sea sentada en los bancos, haciendo deporte, o incluso jugando al ajedrez, ya que hay un club de ajedrez. La mayor parte de las personas son de la tercera edad y da mucho gusto encontrarte a gente mayor disfrutando de las vistas y socializando.

El parque cuenta con máquinas para ejercitar las extremidades, zonas de juego para niños, con toboganes, columpios, etc.

Hay una gran fuente en uno de los extremos del parque en la que siempre suele tener gente sentada en sus bordes y palomas sobrevolando. Justo aquí, hay varios puestos, uno de ellos de patatas de bolsa, pipas y refrescos, y otros de información de atracciones en los que suele haber descuentos.

Además, si cruzamos hacia la acera de en frente del parque, os encontraréis con una gran cantidad de restaurantes, que son baratos y con comida de calidad media Lo más popular son los platos combinados, que llevan un tipo de carne, patatas y huevo, o salchichas y abichuelas, y cuestan menos de 10 euros. Lo mejor de estos restaurantes, además del precio, es las vistas que tienen, por lo que puedes estar comiendo mientras disfrutas de unas buenas vistas hacia la playa.

Mirador

El mirador se encuentra al final de la Playa de Poniente, justo entre la Playa de Poniente y la Playa de Levante, pero el acceso principal está en la Playa de Poniente. También se le conoce como el Balcón del Mediterráneo a este sitio.

Es uno de los sitios turísticos más visitados de Benidorm, a parte de las atracciones que tiene como Terra Mítica o Aqualandia, y de las discotecas y playas, Benidorm también tiene lugares que hacen que esta ciudad no solo sea una playa en la que divertirse, sino que también te da la oportunidad de ver paisajes y puestas de sol que nunca se olvidarán.

Por un lado tenemos la Plaza del Castell, donde hay unas esculturas de anclas y cañones, así como heladerías, restaurantes, e incluso puestos de artesanías, bisutería y para hacer caricaturas.

Justo en uno de los extremos de la plaza hay una iglesia, la iglesia de San Jaime y Virgen del Sufragio, es muy pequeña, pero tiene mucho encanto al estar justo en la parte alta de Benidorm, y justo en el mirador.

En el otro extremo de la plaza hay una especie de templete, y justo detrás se pueden bajar unas escaleras que van hacia una mini plaza que parece que cuelga del acantilado, y aunque está a menor altura que el resto del mirador, las vistas al Mar Mediterráneo son increíbles.

Es uno de mis sitios favoritos de Benidorm, lo único que no me gusta es que hay que subir muchas escaleras, lo cual no suele ser un problema, pero en Benidorm si, porque te suele estar dando el sol en la cabeza, y no es agradable. Pero cuando llegas arriba, se te olvida el sufrimiento, y se puede disfrutar de unos bonitos acantilados, un mar azul intenso , y un paraje blanco.

Aquí hay unas buenas vistas hacia la Isla de Benidorm , hacia toda la Playa de Poniente y a toda la Playa de Levante. Pero también tiene las mejores vistas de una playa muy pequeña que hay en la zona de Poniente, justo abajo del mirador. Os encantará porque es diferente, tiene mucho encanto, y una amiga me dijo que allí se han rodado películas. Lo mejor es ir de noche y dar un paseo por ella.

Para llegar hasta el mirador, tenéis que llegar hasta el final del Parque de Elche, y girar a la derecha, tirando hacia las casetas de información turística, y cuando lleguéis a ellas, se gira a la izquierda y al mirar hacia arriba veréis el precioso mirador.

Cuidemos Calas y Playas – 7 Consejos

Benidorm es uno de los municipios más turísticos de la provincia de Alicante. Uno de sus mayores atractivos es sin duda sus playas: la Playa de Levante y la Playa de Poniente, denominadas así según por donde sale y se esconde el sol y separadas entre sí por la punta de Canfali, en el centro de Benidorm, donde encontraremos el Mirador de punta de Canfali, también conocido como balcón del Mediterráneo y en el cual podremos disfrutar de unas vistas preciosas al mar. Bajo este mirador, encontraremos también la Cala del Mal Pas.

La Playa de Poniente es la más extensa del municipio alicantino. Alberga una longitud de 3 kilómetros y una anchura de 74 metros. Limita al este con el puerto deportivo y al oeste con el Tossal.

Esta playa urbana compuesta por arena de grano fino, está menos concurrida que la Playa de Levante. Ésto la convierte en la idónea para quienes buscan tranquilidad. Sus aguas tranquilas la hacen perfecta para disfrutar con los niños.

Las playas de Benidorm apuntan hacia el sur. Ésta es la explicación de su especial microclima con suaves temperaturas y de que, a diferencia de otras localidades costeras valencianas, reciba más horas de sol.

Cuenta con multitud de SERVICIOS, entre ellos:

– Alquiler de sombrillas y tumbonas, acceso para personas con movilidad reducida, duchas, W. C. y socorristas.

– Referente al entretenimiento, esta playa dispone de: plataformas acuáticas, juegos infantiles, redes para jugar a voley playa y porterías.

– Para los amantes de la lectura, encontraréis una biblioplaya pública.

– Para aquellos a los que les gusta practicar deportes náuticos, tendrán la posibilidad de disfrutar de: ski acuático, kayaks, motos de agua, alquiler de barcos a motor, barcos de vela y parasailing.

– Para los amantes del snorkel y el buceo, que la Playa de Poniente esté junto al puerto deportivo de Benidorm, les permitirá realizar excursiones en ferry a la Isla de Benidorm, la cual nos ofrece un fondo rocoso donde disfrutaréis de la fauna y flora del lugar. También cuenta con un centro de buceo en el mismo puerto.

– Parking: dispone de aparcamiento gratuito limitado. Siempre puedes buscar en las calles más próximas o bien estacionar en Zona Azul o algún parking público. Otra opción es utilizar el transporte público. La Playa de Poniente cuenta con varias paradas de autobús.

La Playa de Poniente, al igual que la de Levante, NO cuenta con chiringuitos. Ésto no es un problema, ya que anexo a ésta hay un paseo marítimo con un gran número de bares, terrazas, restaurantes y cafeterías.

En cuanto al alojamiento, esta playa cuenta con menos hoteles que la zona de Levante, aunque en ella se encuentran tres de los más conocidos de Benidorm: el Villa del Mar, el Poseidón Playa y el Bali.

Si buscas desconexión, apartarte de la masificación, disfrutar de un agradable paseo o una puesta de sol, esta es tu playa.

Al sur del puerto, la Playa de Poniente compite en belleza y servicios con la anterior, y ambas tienen en común el que, gracias a su orientación, en invierno el sol las baña hasta su puesta y en verano hasta pasadas las ocho. Entre ambas, en un tramo que se corresponde con el casco antiguo y al abrigo del Cerro Canfali se encuentra la pequeña Cala de Mal Pas y, frente a ella, la Isla de Benidorm, un paraíso parapara los amantes del submarinismo.

Conocida como la «Nueva York del Mediterráneo», Benidorm es la ciudad con más rascacielos no solo de la Comunidad Valenciana sino también de España, la ciudad con más rascacielos por habitante del mundo y la segunda ciudad con más rascacielos por metro cuadrado del mundo, solo detrás de de Nueva York.

Se trata de uno de los destinos turísticos más importantes y conocidos de España, y de todo el Mediterráneo gracias a sus playas y su vida nocturna, llegando a alcanzar los 400.000 habitantes en verano antes de la pandemia de coronavirus. No en vano, Benidorm es la tercera ciudad con más plazas hoteleras de España tras Madrid y Barcelona.

Esta es, quizás, una de las playas más conocidas de toda Europa. Se trata de una playa urbana, con Bandera Azul, de más de 2 kilómetros de longitud que discurre entre Punta Pinet y Punta Canfali. Una extensión de fina y dorada arena es bañada por las aguas tranquilas del Mediterráneo y gracias a su orientación, es posible tomar el sol hasta bien entrada la tarde.

En paralelo discurre un bullicioso paseo marítimo lleno de restaurantes y locales que le confieren a esta zona una gran actividad, con gentes de todas las nacionalidades.

Cala La Almadrava, aguas tranquilas y transparentes

Cala Almadrava (Benidorm).

Con unos 100 metros de longitud, la Cala Almadrava está formada por fina arena y rocas. Se encuentra a los pies de la Sierra Helada, lo que le confieren un entorno único para el relax y el descanso.

A los pies de la Sierra Helada y la costa norte del municipio, se sitúa esta playa entre escarpados acantilados. Se trata de una pequeña cala que permitirá al turista huir del bullicio de los arenales más concurridos de Benidorm, la Cala del Tio Ximo.

Benidorm: cuando la capital turística era una fortaleza contra los piratas y fue arrasada por los ingleses

El misterioso origen del nombre de Benidorm: ¿un falso arabismo de los conquistadores?

Ni es nuevo ni es un campo de debate exclusivo entre los cientos de miles de turistas que visitan la ciudada cada año: durante décadas los benidormenses han tenido distintas opiniones sobre cuál es la mejor playa de la capital turística, una cuestión que, más allá de la charla trivial de cada verano, ha marcado el imaginario colectivo y el carácter de todo el pueblo.

Paseos peatonalizados (o a punto de peatonalizarse), un casco antiguo reformado y un desarrollo urbanístico incipiente hacia la Cala de Finestrat, el Benidorm de hoy se parece poco al de finales de los años 90. Pero hay una cosa que sigue invariable: su filosofía de expansión urbana, abrazando a la costa y sin alejarse de ella.

De hecho, una de las principales ventajas de Benidorm es que la mayor parte de su crecimiento ha sido en vertical, con los rascacielos recortando el horizonte en la mayor parte de los barrios de la capital turística. Eso quiere decir que es muy raro alojarse en cualquier sitio que esté a más de diez minutos caminando de cualquiera de sus dos playas principales, Levante y Poniente.

Se trata, por tanto, más de una cuestión de gustos que de ubicación geográfica. Y aquí ya entra en juego los pros y los contras que cada uno quiera ponerle. Aquí resumimos algunos de ellos.

Playa de Levante

Playa de Levante.

Es la más conocida de Benidorm y la principal estampa que se utiliza cuando se ilustra la ciudad en los medios de comunicación: con su skyline de primera línea y un paseo completamente peatonalizado, la panorámica aérea de Levante es un resumen perfecto de la parte más turística de Benidorm.

Se trata de una playa con una extensión de unos 2 kilómetros entre Punta Pinet, en el Rincón de Loix, y Punta Canfali, en el centro urbano. Los edificios de apartamentos, hoteles, restaurantes y pubs se amontonan en toda su extensión de forma paralela a la Avenida del Mediterráneo, una de las principales arterias de la ciudad, y cruzan por la zona inglesa, donde cientos de miles de británicos veranean todo el año.

Sus ventajas son su accesibilidad, su condición de icono y sus servicios: está completamente equipada, su orientación permite que tomar el sol durante la mayor parte del día y cuenta con Bandera Azul desde el año 1987, lo que acredita la calidad de su arena y de sus aguas.

Su principal desventaja es que, al ser la más conocida, es también la que más afluencia tiene. Aunque para algunas personas eso no sea precisamente un hándicap.

Playa de Poniente

Playa de Poniente, de noche.

Poniente comienza justo en frente del Puerto de Benidorm, y se extiende hasta la Cala de Finestrat. Tiene más de 3 kilómetros de longitud, lo que la convierte en la playa más extensa del municipio. Es, además, más ancha que Levante, por lo que es más difícil encontrarla saturada.

Uno de sus elementos más característicos es su paseo, diseñado por Carlos Ferrater i Lambarri y Xavier Martí i Gal, y que fue reconocido con el Premio Nacional de Arquitectura 2011. Su asignatura pendiente es completar la peatonalización de la zona, aunque actualmente el tráfico ya se encuentra restringido y es habitual ver a ciclistas y runners recorriendo toda su extensión.

En cuanto a desarrollo urbano, Poniente es una zona en plena expansión de Benidorm. La multinacional h20 acaba de abrir aquí su primer hotel en la ciudad, y se están construyendo varios edificios de lujo como la Delfin Tower o el Intempo, de inminente puesta en funcionamiento.

La promotora TM impulsa en los terrenos de Vía Parque, justo encima de la playa, su mayor promoción de suelo en España, con dos torres a punto de finalizar y otras dos que empezará a construir en breve.

A nivel de servicios, cuenta con plataformas flotantes, biblioplayas, juegos infantiles, juegos lúdicos-deportivos, zonas de sombra para la lectura o el servicio de playas accesibles. También cuenta con Bandera Azul desde 1987.

Playa del Mal Pas

Playa del Mal Pas, vista desde el paseo del Puerto.

Esta pequeña playa de apenas 120 metros está situada entre Levante y Poniente y justo debajo del Castillo, desde donde Benidorm se defendía de las incursiones de los piratas.

Su pequeña extensión hace que se llene muy rápidamente, aunque cuenta con la ventaja de la ubicación: está en pleno Casco Antiguo, uno de los puntos turísticos más importantes de la ciudad. Dispone de Bandera Azul desde 1987.

Otra de las ventajas es que frente a esta playa se encuentra la Isla de Benidorm, que cobija una plataforma sumergida conocida como La Llosa, una importante Reserva Marina con excelentes fondos para los amantes del submarinismo.

Cala del Tio Ximo

Cala del Tio Ximo.

Finalmente, a los pies de la Sierra Helada y en la zona norte del término municipal se encuentra esta pequeña cala abrazada por acantilados. Destaca por sus aguas claras, por lo que es perfecta para la práctica del snorkel.

También suele ser poco concurrida porque, a diferencia del resto, lo habitual es coger el coche para llegar a ella. Además, cuenta con puestos de vigilancia y socorrismo.

Bienvenidos! una de las cosas que más nos gusta de recibir a gente es servirles de ayuda y facilitarles una cómoda y feliz estancia. Me gusta mucho el mar, caminar y relajarme leyendo un buen libro. El apartamento permite despertarse y si os gustan estas actividades como a mi poder hacerlo.

Tranquilo, cerca del centro y de varios supermercados, farmacia, comercios de cercanía, etc

Poniente Beach (Playa de Poniente)

Poniente or Poniente Beach (Playa de Poniente) is the largest sandy beach in Benidorm. The length of the beach is more than three kilometers. All three kilometers of the beach strip are covered with fine and pleasant to the touch light sand.

Playa de Ponient originates in the center of Benidorm from the port and stretches to the right (western) part of the city, where it borders the Tossal de Cala mountain.

Poniente Beach is not only the longest beach in Benidorm, but also the quietest. Unlike its neighbor – Levante beach, which is the most party beach in the city, and where young people gather for idle pastime, Poniente beach is quieter and more comfortable, it is great for lovers of a measured beach holiday, as well as for families with children.

Especially uncrowded and calm is the right (western) part of the beach, the one closer to the secluded rocky hill of Kala.

Right (Western) Part Ponente

Center for Beach Ponente

Left (Eastern) Part Ponente . It is the busiest and most crowded, located closest to the city center and the main attraction of Benidorm – the Old Town.

The beach is cleaned daily, the sand is leveled. The entrance to the sea is gentle, the depth does not come immediately, the bottom is sandy. Sea water is clean and transparent.

The Blue Flag award is a sign of cleanliness and safety of the beach.

The beach has all the necessary beach infrastructure. On the beach there are urns, foot showers, medical stations and rescue towers, children’s and sports grounds, rope climbers, wooden decks are equipped for people with disabilities, places are allocated for beach football and volleyball.

On the beach, you can warm up with a health gymnastics or practice throwing balls with a game of petanque.

There is practically no natural shade on the beach. Unless, you can hide from the sun in the shade of a few palm trees growing on the beach. These palm trees serve more as a decoration than under them you can hide from the scorching sun.

In search of shade, sun loungers and parasols can be rented. The cost of a sun lounger or umbrella from the sun is 4.5 Euro / day. Chaise longue + sun protection zones = 9Euro. Two sun loungers + sun umbrella = 13. 5 Euro.

In case anyone is interested, we have an overview of all the beaches of Benidorm, from the smallest and quietest bays to the central sandy beaches.

Elche promenade and park near Poniente beach

A luxurious promenade, decorated with a string of palm trees, stretches along the entire beach. Everything is clean and tidy.

Visually, the Poniente Beach promenade can be divided into three parts. In the eastern part of the promenade is the green and shady park of Elche. The park is equipped with a fountain and places for recreation, there are playgrounds. This is a favorite place for local residents and guests of the city to relax and walk.

There is a non-walking boulevard in the center of the beach. However, this part of the embankment is no less cozy and beautiful. The embankment in this part of the beach is lined with colored tiles, there are benches for relaxing, there are ledges in the form of balconies that offer a beautiful view of the beach and the Mediterranean Sea.

The western part of the embankment is less attractive, but it is the quietest and least crowded part of it.

In the westernmost part of the beach there is a small green park. The park has several sports facilities.

A spacious bike path stretches along the embankment. Bicycles can be rented, rental points are located here, on the waterfront.

There is a road behind the embankment. Along which rise the buildings of apartments and hotels. There are also cafes and restaurants, local Spanish and European cuisine, shops and souvenir shops. There are not as many restaurants here as along the Levante beach, but, again, it is more calm and quiet here.

Conclusions about Poniente Beach

This beach is well suited for relaxing in a calm measured rhythm, as well as for families with children. The beach is so long that even at the peak of the holiday season, you can find a completely secluded place. There are no a lot of entertainment drinking establishments along the beach, which means it is cleaner and less crowded.

If we were to choose which beach to stay in Benidorm, then without hesitation, we would choose Poniente beach. And for fun, on some days, we would go to Levante beach. However, we did exactly that, which we did not regret at all))

Where to stay near Poniente Beach

Numerous hotels, guest houses and apartments are located along the beach and the promenade, from the most budgetary to expensive and luxurious, both with and without breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Rooms offer scenic views of the beach and the sea, and sea-facing balconies are great places to sit with a cup of coffee or a glass of Spanish wine. Everything to your taste! So, in this part of Benidorm, everyone can choose their own accommodation according to their preferences and possibilities.

Levante, Poniente, La Cala Finestrat, Mal Pas

The beaches of Benidorm are among the best in Spain according to a number of criteria. They stretch along the entire coast of Benidorm, so they are easily accessible from anywhere in the city. The beaches are sandy and vary in length. There are long and spacious, there are in small picturesque bays. To this is added an excellent entry into the sea and a uniform deepening, which is preferred by most of the vacationers. I have listed the main advantages, but it is already possible to judge the advantages of this resort, frankly loved by the population of many European countries.

I took the pictures at the end of September. Despite the autumn, there are a lot of people. And even more so in summer. But don’t let this number scare you. In the photo – the very center of Benidorm, next to the historic quarter and the rock, where the Mediterranean balcony is located. In fact, everything looks much more encouraging. There is enough beach space for everyone, and there are enough places completely free.

There are four main beaches in this resort town. Now I will talk about each of them, illustrate my video story, and you can decide which Benidorm beach will be the best for you. We rested on the Costa Blanca in 2019year. So my impressions and reviews of the beaches of Benidorm are quite fresh.

Levante Beach

The city stretches along the coast in an east-west direction. This orientation determined the name of the beaches. One of the long beaches of Benidorm is called Levante – the coast of the rising sun. Intuition tells – and correctly tells – that there is also a beach of the setting sun.

Judging by the number of holidaymakers, Playa de Levante is the most popular beach in Benidorm. The sandy strip adjacent close to the narrow embankment stretched for 2 km.

Why Levante is the most popular is a mystery to me. Other beaches are better, if only because they are wider and do not run into a residential area.

Perhaps the reason is that Benidorm is largely a youth resort. In this part of the city there are many nightclubs and casinos. The Levante area is almost as vibrant at night as it is during the day. Consequently, many people wish to stay in hotels and apartments in this area. The English and Dutch dominate.

During the day, people from all these skyscrapers in Benidorm pour onto the beach. Luckily, it’s only a few meters.

In September there are a lot of vacationers, but if you want to find a free place, it is not difficult to find one on Playa de Levante. It seemed to me that this is not the most suitable beach for families with children due to the large concentration of tourists. However, there are families with children here.

Entry into the water is comfortable. And although the waves are running, they are not high. This photo shows the rough sea with a yellow flag.

Poniente Beach

Playa de Poniente surrounds the entire western half of the city. This is the shore of the setting sun. The length of Poniente beach is 3 km. It is wider than the Levante, and is separated from the residential areas by a more spacious promenade.

During our week-long stay in Benidorm, we saw this beach quite free every day. The farther from the center, the less full. Watch the video to make it easier for you to get an idea of the coast of Benidorm.

From the east, Playa de Poniente almost ends with a small port. Personally, I do not like to relax near the port, but many do not pay attention to such a neighborhood at all.

The rocky island on the horizon has flashed twice already in the photographs. This is the island of Benidorm. It is clearly visible from every beach, but is not close – a few nautical miles from the coast.

Near the Poniente beach in the central part of the city there is a small palm park, more like an alley. There is also a well-maintained playground.

The site is deserted in the photograph as it was taken at 3 pm. At such and such a time, it is better for adults not to approach the beach, let alone take children out under the scorching sun. If you are wondering where is the best place to relax with children in Benidorm, then I would recommend paying attention to Poniente.

Finestrat Beach or La Cala

Since we stayed at a hotel on the seafront in La Cala Bay, we focused exclusively on this beach – La Cala de Finestrat.

The beach is short. Offhand two hundred meters. Based on experience, I can say that this is a great place. The sandy beach is wide enough. The depth approaches moderately, but you don’t have to trudge for a long time to push off from the bottom. It’s a more closed space, so there are fewer waves. Friends, I made a video for you. See:

The beach is equipped with foot rinsers. There are changing cabins. And for children, several simple slides have been installed.

I note that the beaches of La Cala and Poniente are very close to each other. To go from one to another, it will take no more than 10 minutes. It is convenient to go through the hill. Look at the photo, where La Cala de Finestrat is clearly visible in the foreground, and Poniente is already visible behind the houses.

Interestingly, the buildings facing this side belong to a suburb of Benidorm called Finestrat. The same houses that stand side by side, but turned towards the Poniente beach, are considered the buildings of Benidorm.

Mal Pas Beach

Another attractive cove is located in the very center of the city, between the cliff with the Mediterranean Balcony and the port. You have already seen this beach in the first photo of this post. This is Playa Mal Pas.

The beach is very small, but due to its location, it is very popular with vacationers. Playa Mal Pas is a kind of picturesque point separating the “shore of the rising sun” from the “shore of the setting sun”. A convenient descent from the port side through a neat square leads to this beach.

So, friends, now you know all the beaches within the city of Benidorm. All of them are clean, with clear water. There was no algae, although a storm raged on this coast ten days before our arrival. And the water temperature in September and at the beginning of October was 24-25 degrees.

The only downside is that there are no shower stalls anywhere on these beaches. There are columns to wash the sand off your feet. It is possible that the shower is not in demand. I already wrote about the features of this resort, which was specially built along the coastline. If, after leaving the beach, a person finds himself in his room after 5-10 minutes, then a shower directly on the beach is hardly relevant for him. Since we did need half a minute to get out of the sea and go to our hotel, I noticed the lack of shower equipment only when I specifically asked about it.

It is also worth adding that, in addition to the official beaches, there are small bays in the vicinity of the resort. One of them is known as a nude beach. But such secluded places are removed from the beaches presented here.

It is impossible to compare which beach is the best among this variety. We all have our own requirements for a vacation at sea. Obviously, there is a beach in Benidorm that suits the individual needs of everyone. Therefore, travelers are so willing to go to this resort.

Poniente beach in Benidorm – one of the longest

With family With friends Benidorm Beaches and bays

Abahana Villas – “InTempo” tower on Playa de Poniente in Benidorm.

This is the longest beach in the municipality of Benidorm. It stretches for 3 kilometers, along with a wonderful renovated promenade – an ideal place for walking on the Costa Blanca.

Poniente beach, located behind the old part of Benidorm, is somewhat less busy than Levante beach. This is where most Spanish tourists gather.

This urban beach starts at the sports port and continues to Cala de Finestrat. Along it runs a new promenade, on which there are many restaurants, bars and other establishments designed to please guests.

The clear blue waters of this beach, like those of Playa de Levante, are impeccably clean, so you can enjoy all kinds of water sports here, including snorkeling and diving, which will allow you to admire the seabed with meadows of Posidonia ocean grass .

Poniente Beach offers a full range of leisure facilities, including floating platforms, beach libraries, children’s games, sports and recreational games, shady reading areas, and special facilities to facilitate access and use of the beach for people with reduced mobility.

The new promenade is a special place where urban development smoothly transitions into a natural space formed by the sea and the beach. It is understood not as a kind of border, but as an intermediate place that serves to improve the quality of the urban environment, being the most valuable element of the urban landscape. This embankment represents a highly harmonious transition from the aggressive vertical lines so characteristic of the city’s facades to the horizontal plane of the sea.

On the eve of summer, we choose a beach holiday. Today we are going to the Mediterranean Sea, to Benidorm (Spain). The beaches of this resort town annually receive the highest award – the “Blue Flag” for the cleanliness of the coastal zone and the sea, the convenience and safety of vacationers. Let’s dwell on each in detail.

The coastline is divided into two parts by a rock. Protruding far into the sea, it delimits the territory of the beaches of Benidorm. The Mediterranean Balcony is a favorite place for tourists to visit. This is an observation deck on the edge of a cliff. From here it is pleasant to observe the magnificent landscape of the sea and the beauty of the city.

Poniente Beach in Benidorm

If you are planning to visit Benidorm with the whole family, Playa de Poniente is ideal for families with children. The International Commission annually marks the cleanliness and infrastructure of Poniente Beach with the Blue Flag. The coastline of fine light sand stretches for 3 kilometers. On the beach there are places for recreation, entertainment for children, sports. Here you can lie on a sun lounger, hiding your head from the sun under an umbrella. There are specially designated areas for beach volleyball and football, children’s climbing and slides.

The beach is equipped with wooden flooring for wheelchairs, there is a medical station and lifeguard towers, a toilet, a shower. The sea is clean, transparent, calm, with a gentle entrance. The sand is cleaned and leveled daily.
Near the beach – a beautiful promenade with many restaurants. You can also sit on a bench and enjoy the sea views. Tourists note that there are magnificent sunsets here.
Getting to Poniente Beach is easy. There are several bus stops nearby.

Levante beach in Benidorm
To the left of the rock is the Levante beach (Playa de Levante). This is one of the most famous and popular beaches in the city, the epicenter of party life. It’s always noisy and crowded here. The atmosphere of the holiday is created by a developed infrastructure with many bars, restaurants, nightclubs with loud music.

Young people have fun with cocktails and beer on the beach early in the morning and late at night. Despite this, the beach is clean and awarded the Blue Flag. Vacationers are offered a variety of water sports and entertainment.
Along the beach there is a beautiful promenade with hotels and apartments, restaurants, shops, souvenir kiosks.
Young, active, you – here!

Cala del Mal Pas beach in Benidorm

The large and famous beaches of Benidorm hide between themselves the picturesque beach of La Cala del Mal Pas Benidorm. It seems to be hidden in a small bay, and borders on the right with the Balcony of the Mediterranean. The protruding rocks, surrounding the beach, create comfort. Despite the small size of the beach (120 meters), a lifeguard and medical personnel are constantly on duty here, there are wooden decks, a toilet and a shower.

Sun loungers, parasols and catamarans are also available for rent.
The coast is clean, and the sea has clear azure water, a gentle entrance and a long shallow. For this, Cala del Mal Pas in Benidorm annually takes the Blue Flag.

Almadrava beach and bay in Benidorm
La Cala Almadrava is a natural bay surrounded by green meadows near the Sierra Hellas. This beach of Benidorm is an unofficial place for nudists to relax. Here you can sunbathe both in a bathing suit and without it. The shore is strewn with sand mixed with medium-sized pebbles.

The sea with its crystal clear water and rocky bottom is very popular among divers. Kite and windsurfers also come here.
How to get there? Walk to the Rincón de Loix area at the beginning of the Levante beach. From there, walking along a small hill along the sea, you will see a descent to the bay and Almadrava beach.

Tio Ximo beach in Benidorm
If you move further in the direction from the Levante beach, just behind the Almadrava bay is the smallest beach in Benidorm – Ti Ximo (Cala del Tio Ximo). In a rocky tiny bay, the shore is strewn with stones and pebbles, which are washed by clear transparent sea water. Here you can meet divers and kite surfers along with vacationers who bask in the rays of the summer sun on sun loungers.

Cala de Finestrat beach in Benidorm
Cala de Finestrat beach is often called La Cala. It is separated from the Poniente beach in Benidorm by a small mountain.
Blue Flag La Cala Beach is equipped with everything you need for a pleasant and safe family holiday. Children of all ages will love the varied play areas. Soft fine sand is regularly cleaned and leveled. The sea is clean, calm, sometimes there are stones on the sandy bottom. The native palms make for a beautiful landscape but don’t provide enough shade. We recommend renting or bringing a sun lounger and beach umbrella. There is a water entertainment center. Along the beach there is a promenade with many shops, restaurants and offers of tourist accommodation. Nearby there is a road where buses run. There are also car parking spaces.

Usually the beach is crowded with holidaymakers during the high season, but by the beginning of September the influx of people decreases.

The resort town will please all its guests. Noisy festivities and bustling life on the Levante beach, family holidays by the clear sea of Playa de Poniente or La Cala. It is better to dive with a mask and scuba gear in the bays of Almadrava and Tio Himo, and to contemplate the beauty of the sea and the Old Town from the sandy shores of Cala del Mal Pas. Welcome to Benidorm! Spain, beaches, happiness is the motto of this summer.

Benidorm beaches | On a coconut wave ツ Tropic travel

The city of Benidorm stretches along the sea from west to east for about 8 kilometers, and almost its entire coastline is occupied by two large sandy beaches: Poniente and Levante, plus there are several small coves.

Wherever you settle in Benidorm, you will in any case be close to either one or another large beach. The difference between them is not particularly fundamental: both beaches (Poniente and Levante) are long, wide, with fine light sand, calm sea and gentle entry into the water. Everywhere there are lifeguards, first-aid posts, cafes, shops, promenade along the sea. Swimming and relaxing both there and there is a real pleasure. So I wouldn’t become super-strongly attached to a specific beach when looking for housing. Nevertheless, there are still nuances)) So I will tell you about the features of each of the beaches and about the coves, of course. And I will definitely show my photos of the beaches of Benidorm so that you can assess the situation yourself))

Poniente Beach / Playa Poniente

The longest beach in Benidorm, 3.2 km long, with an average width of about 80 m. beach. You can understand the reason for this by looking at the map: in this part of the city, the city is much less built up. I don’t know if the difference in the number of people is noticeable at the height of the season, it was noticeable in winter and spring)) There are few cafes here and they are quite quiet, there are several shops. And this beach is wider and seems a little more spacious.

Photo from Poniente beach:

Levante beach / Playa Levante

The second longest beach in Benidorm, its length is 2 km, the average width is 40 m. The beach itself (sand, water, entry into the sea) – exactly the same, but the atmosphere is noticeably more cheerful. Cafes, bars, small and large shops here already run in a continuous row along the waterfront. At the same time, cafes and bars create a real party: loud music, live performances, large TV and projector screens – and tourists singing songs even in winter 😀 And although we don’t like crowds of people, we really liked the atmosphere of this beach))

Levante Beach for St. Patrick’s Day:

There is also a library on Levante Beach – all days except Sunday. It is located approximately in the middle of the beach. You can take reading the latest press or books. Kaaayf!

Balcony of the Mediterranean / Balcón del Mediterráneo

This is an observation deck that separates the beaches of Poniente and Levante. You can see in all its glory both one and the second beach from here. In the same part of Benidorm is the old town with narrow atmospheric streets, a huge number of cafes, bars and souvenir shops.

Cala Mal Pas

Directly under the balcony of the Mediterranean on the western side there is a small cove – Mal Pas. Tourists, and maybe locals, are also very fond of sunbathing and swimming here)) The beach is very small, only 120 meters long, 25 meters wide.

If you look from above from the Balcony, the color of the water is very beautiful:

La Cala / La Cala de Finestrat

The westernmost beach of Benidorm, the sandy bay of La Cala de Finestrat – most often it is called simply La Cala . The length is about 300 meters, the width is 51 m, on both sides the beach is surrounded by hills. The beach is essentially the same as the rest of the sandy beaches of Benidorm. It makes no special sense to get here – only if you live nearby and it is convenient for you to go to this beach. There are an average number of people, although at the height of the season, there may be nowhere to step))

The color of the water and the color of the sand on the beaches of Benidorm

depends very much on the angle of incidence of the sun’s rays, on whether you look at the sun or against it, and who knows what else))) Sometimes you go to the beach – natural brown sand. You come another day – the sand seems almost white. You look to the left – the water is plain blue. You look to the right – all shades of green and blue. Even from the photos in this article, you can see how different the same beach can look.

If strong on average, the sand here is light brown or beige. The water is beautiful, clear, often with different shades of color, but it is very, very far from the nuclear colors of tropical and paradise seas))

This is about sandy beaches. Benidorm also has two rocky coves, the color of the water in which is always stunningly bright.

Almadraba / Cala Almadraba

The coves of the eastern part of Benidorm can be distinguished as a separate attraction. I’m not sure that it’s very cool to relax and swim there, because. the bays are rocky, very small and difficult to access – you have to go down a narrow path from above – but the water in them is of amazing color. And as a bonus – a panoramic view from here to Benidorm. So at least a walk in this direction is highly recommended!

Almadraba Bay (Cala is translated from Spanish as a bay) – length 100 m, width 7 m. There are few people on the beach, and nudists have been seen there more than once, although it seems that officially this beach is not considered nudist))

Tio Simo / Cala Tio Ximo

Tio Simo bay is right next door. I don’t know how to pronounce it correctly – Simo, Ximo or Chimo – I have a lot of options 😀 There is also a rocky shore, there are almost no people, and the color of the water is fantastic! Beach length 60 meters, width 6 m.

View of Benidorm and Tio Simo Bay:

Benidorm Beach Facilities

Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented on all Benidorm beaches, including these little coves. Their cost in 2019 is 5 euros for each item. On your towels, chairs, deck chairs, etc. of course, you can also lie down.

All sandy beaches have foot showers, first-aid posts, and lifeguards. Large beaches are also equipped with playgrounds and volleyball nets.

All the sandy beaches of Benidorm (La Cala, Poniente, Mal Pas and Levante) have been awarded the blue flag, the international hallmark of quality and cleanliness of beaches.

All these photos of the beaches of Benidorm were taken between January and March 2019.

The best beaches in Benidorm

Which of these beaches is the best in Benidorm? I could not choose)) Each of them is good in its own way, each one will suit someone’s taste or mood. We rested heavily on all the beaches, except for the rocky coves in the east – they just came to look at them. Well, most often we ended up on the largest beaches – Poniente or Levante. Still, there are the largest open spaces for recreation, walks and parties, and by the way, you can perfectly combine everything at once)))
