Overview

Volcán San Antonio (663m) and Pico de Tablas (667m)

Volcán San Antonio is the dominating mountain in the south of La Palma in the Canarias. Though certainly not of an impressive height it still draws your attention from everywhere you look. San Antonio is a perfectly shaped volcano; a cinder cone on the outside and a large, circular crater on the inside. The crater has a circumference of about 1km and a depth of roughly 100m, making it one of the largest craters on La Palma.

Geologically Volcán San Antonio belongs to the Cumbre Vieja Range of La Palma, the most active (you could also say only active) volcanic range of the Canarias. As you can see from the satellite picture below the range is composed of a multitude of volcanic craters which makes the southern part of La Palma look like a moonscape from outer space. Coming closer to the ground it still does look like a landscape on Moon or Mars – it is very barren with the Canarian Pines appearing to be the only life forms. But looking still closer you will find that there are a number of plants which grow on the ashen fields of the volcano, some of them of a rare beauty.

And: the region south of Volcán San Antonio – though as barren as it can be – is the most renowned wine growing region of La Palma. The Teneguía wines are grown here, sweet, fruity and heavy wines, which are rather an experience to drink. The grapes get a lot of sun, but only little water – the southern tip of La Palma is very dry.

Volcán San Antonio boasts a visitor center which informs you about La Palma’s volcanism. There have been seven eruptions, which have been recorded historically, one of them on San Antonio itself:

• 1470-1492 Montana Quemada
• 1585 Tajuya near El Paso
• 1646 Volcán Martin
• 1677 Volcán San Antonio
• 1712 El Charco
• 1949 Volcán de San Juan, Duraznero, Hoyo Negro
• 1971 Volcán Teneguía

In general it can be said that the volcanic activity on the island moves ever further south, thus prolonging the island.

Unfortunately the visitor centre is the reason why Volcán San Antonio is very popular among tourists. You can drive up to their parking lot and stroll up to the summit. Sometimes you encounter whole busloads of them. Therefore my recommendation is to head for Faro de Fuencaliente on the southernmost tip of La Palma and start the ascent to the volcano there along one of two possible routes. One has been described on the Volcán Teneguía Page, the second can be found here. Both routes can be combined into a dayhike loop.

Geography of La Palma and the Mega-Tsunami Theory

First of all let me state that I will post this section to all Cumbre Vieja pages which I intend to post here. Both topics, the geography of the island as well as the Mega-Tsunami Theory are far too interesting to be left out. So if you have read it somewhere before, just skip this section.

Geography

La Palma, like said above and like all the other Canarian Islands is of volcanic origin. Actually you can draw a pretty accurate comparison to the Hawaiian Islands since both groups are similar in many respects. The Canarias have been formed 25 – 2 million years ago with La Palma one of the youngest islands together with tiny El Hierro. What strikes us most today is that the ocean floor around and between the islands is about 4000m deep, which makes mighty Teide (3718m) on Tenerife a truly impressive mountain if you consider the elevation from the ocean floor.

La Palma is not quite as impressive but it is the second highest of the Canarias with its highpoint, Roque de los Muchachos at 2426m. On the other hand it is the third smallest of the islands and thus the ratio of overall material to island area is the largest you will find for any island on earth. This makes it the prime candidate for causing the next mega-tsunami (see below).

The Island can be divided in three mountainous regions:

• the Caldera de Taburiente in the north, the world’s largest erosion crater with a diameter of 29km and with caldera walls up to 2000m deep! The caldera is the leftover of a huge volcano which used to exist ages ago and which collapsed by sliding to the west of the island 550.000 years ago.
• the Cumbre Nueva, also the leftover of an even larger volcano. If you look at the little map you will see the Cumbre Nueva in the centre of the island. If you take the curvature of the cumbre and prolong it you will see just how large it really was. This Volcano also dropped away to the west of the island.
• the Cumbre Vieja. Though viejo means old, this is the youngest part of the island by far. Here you can find 120 volcanoes, all very close to each other on this mountain range, which reaches 1945m in height. It is here that the next landslide to the west of the island is expected which is supposed to cause a devastating mega-tsunami.

The Mega Tsunami Theory (Click here for the original scientific paper found by rbi)

To make it short: in 1949, three of the volcanoes of the Cumbre Vieja erupted simultaneously. Large lava flows covered the western parts of the island and there were a lot of heavy earthquakes. During the eruption a large crack developed and the western part of the Cumbre Vieja slipped by 4m (12ft). Since deep chimneys have been found in the higher regions of the range, which all consist of porous, water-filled rocks, it is expected that the next eruption in this central region of the Cumbre Vieja will be so explosive, that the crack of 1949 widens and eventually the western part of the Cumbre Vieja would tumble into the sea. With huge amounts of material rushing to the sea huge waves would be created, which finally will hit the US and the Gulf of Mexico with devastating effects.

Since La Palma and neighbouring El Hierro have a history of these massive landslides a scenario likes this seems feasible. But nobody knows when – or even if – this will happen. Heavy eruptions occur every 200 years on La Palma and it is far from clear that the crack, which developed in 1949 actually is deep enough to split the island in two.

Getting There

The Ruta de los Volcanes, as it begins near Faro de Fuencaliente

La Palma, like all the other Canarian Islands can easily be reached from almost all major European airports. The airport is rather small and compared to Tenerife or Gran Canaria air traffic is rather low. There are almost no regular flights but all year round you’ll be able to book charter flights.

From the airport it is a 45min trip southward on road LP-1 towards the southernmost town of the island, Los Canarios. Here either take LP-130 to the southern tip of the island (Faro de Fuencaliente) for a long 700m ascent or head directly for the information center of Volcán San Antonio.

Red Tape

Canarian Asphodel

The mountain belongs to the Monumento Natural de los Volcanes de Teneguía. Therefore behave like in any natural park. The parking lot at the visitor center charges €3.50 per person (even if you don’t intend to use it or to visit the centre. When starting from Faro de Fuencaliente be sure to take the western route across Volcán Teneguía. That way you won’t pass the ticket booth but after visiting Volcán San Antonio. You can return via the eastern route.

When To Climb

Volcán San Antonio can be climbed all year round. It might be very stormy on the summit so brace yourself: don’t carry anything that can be blown away.

Accommodation

Camping is a bit of a problem on La Palma. There are some official campgrounds in the north but the one near Los Canarios is still a project. There are, however, a couple of “Zonas Recreativas” where sometimes you are allowed to pitch a tent. None of these are in the vicinity of San Antonio. The best opportunities are the beaches in the south where camping is not allowed but where you’ll probably encounter no objections if you go arrive there late enough and start out early.

Other accommodations are no problem. Every European travel office will be able to book hotels, rooms and apartments for you. I won’t include any links here because all of them definitely are commercial. Another option is to rent a finca (rural house) from the owners directly. You’ll have to google for these but sometimes prices are low enough for the scheme to be worthwhile.

Weather Conditions

Usually all year round the Canarias have the same weather with little alterations: north-eastern trade winds which deposit fog and dew on the north-eastern slopes of the islands. The eastern and southern parts usually are very dry and there you’ll get some hours of sunshine each day. Especially on the higher islands like La Palma you usually don’t have to worry about weather too much. The mountaintops will stick out of the clouds.

Now here’s the problem: when we were on our vacation to La Palma in late Febuary 2005 we had a week of fierce western winds which were loaded with moisture. We had veritable downpours for ours on end and several times couldn’t even drive by car because the roads were flooded. I’m quite sure that this was a freak phenomenon. The western side of La Palma usually gets 28cm (19 inches) of rain per year!

There are no reliable weather forecasts for the mountain regions of La Palma. Often a cloudless day turns into a foggy one within half an hour. Especially the Cumbre Vieja Range is prone to these fogs and here orientation among the lava and scree fields gets very difficult. This is the main reason why you should never leave the trails there.

Forecasts for the coastal regions, however are available. You have to substract 1°C for every 100m of altitude so that Roque de los Muchachos will still be near freezing when the coasts have already fine and sunny beach weather.

Please excuse me if I only post German maps and books. I know there are editions in all European languages but I’m not aware of them. Any help is very welcome!

Maps

I have used a fantastic map by Freytag & Berndt which shows all of the many hiking and biking trails of the island. With its scale of 1:30000 it is still large enough to be useful for car tours as well. Moreover here you will find all the new designations and acronyms (which were changed some few years back).

San Antonio Band Volcán Gives A Voice To Latin Culture

At a glance, Volcán appears to be a band straight out of a Latin American country, maybe Venezuela or Cuba. So much so that many of the band members are often caught in a guessing game of what country they originate from, especially lead singer Jose Huizar. Which rich vocals and an impeccable Latin accent, Jose fills the room with his presence and takes you to another world, far from Texas.

This is exactly what the 13-member indie band wants the audience to feel with their music. Jaime Mejia, drummer and agent for Volcán, explains that along with this goal comes a bigger message, especially for those of Latino heritage. “We want people to feel that it’s ok to celebrate their culture, whether it be a Latino culture, or any other culture that is based on people moving into this great nation. There was a time in the United States where some of our parents were growing up and their parents were telling them to be as American as they can. For a while we were in a time where we could be who we are, [but now] it’s coming around to a time where it’s becoming a little more difficult.”

As I interview the members, I can see how Mejia’s words resonate with all of the members. His tone tells me that this is something him and the band are passionate about. “People are feeling a mix of embarrassment and shame to show their culture. For us it’s very important to be proud of our heritage and culture, and to know where we come from. I feel that that’s a really awesome way of connecting with your culture. We do our part on the music side to keep things going for a new generation of Latinos, and all music lovers alike.

Many of the band members are indeed from Latino backgrounds. However, some of them didn’t even know how to speak a bit of Spanish before joining the band. We have all the way from 5^th generation here in the U.S., up to our bass player who was born and raised in Monterrey,” explains Mejia. Huizar adds, “There are some people that have essentially no connection to the culture, apart from being born in San Antonio, which is heavily Latin. Some of them are non-Hispanic members. They were all born and raised here so they have the cultural background, they have something that grounds them in it, but I think they joined because of the arrangements, of the instrumentations. It’s a very difficult and challenging style of music.”

In a time where DJ’s and electronic music are taking center stage, Volcán is going against the tide by choosing to play music that is not necessarily considered modern. “It’s kind of a departure from what most people are doing now. There’s a lot of what people consider Latin music is actually just pop music sung in Spanish, and not quite these cumbias, bachatas, salsas,” says Huizar. However, there’s something really lively and refreshing about listening to a full lineup of authentic-style music. RichYR, who handles auxiliary percussion for the band, explains that their music is a “dying art in some cases. You don’t really see full ensembles with horn and rhythm sections. In most cases you go to a club or an establishment, you’re going to see a DJ and one person singing, not really making a connection with the crowd. It’s refreshing to be a part of an ensemble that can organically make a connection with the people, rather than through just electronics. ”

The desire to stick to the original Latin style of music is one of the driving forces behind Volcán . “Growing up, there wasn’t really anyone to look up to for these genres that weren’t in their late 40s or 30s or older, especially doing it live,” shares Mejia.  At the high school I went to, there weren’t a lot of people listening to this music. Who could they say that they listen to that looks like them? That is doing it live at venues or on television that looks their age? There wasn’t anybody. You got the greats: anywhere from Mark Anthony to Shakira. These are people that they came in young into the industry, and have since then crossed over and they’re for an older generation. We’re wanting to give a voice to a younger face to Latin music.

The love for Volcán’s music has been reciprocated by all crowds, young and old alike. Mejia states that older folks hailing from countries such as Venezuela and Mexico have thanked Volcán for giving them a piece of their home culture in San Antonio. “It’s refreshing to the older generation knowing that it’s not going to die out with them. It’s refreshing to young people because it becomes something cool. I thought cumbia music was just what I hear at my aunt’s wedding, or what you hear at a Quinceañera. That’s the only place you really see it and get it, and we’re trying to bring it back to the forefront, at least in the San Antonio music scene. You’ll hear this in a club, right alongside an indie-rock band, thrash metal band, one of which we played with before and have gained fans from.” Volcán’s fans have ranged from pop music lovers to heavy metal fans.

The band’s successes have all derived from their mission to stick to an authentic style. “We put a lot of caution in not to be cliché, but also not to do things incorrectly. Music is very subjective; there is no incorrect way to play music. However, there are incorrect ways to play certain styles. So we want to be as true as we can to the original style. How it was done before the emergence of popular music. ”

  The eruption of San Antonio in the 17th century caused great damage to agriculture and spilled the well-known thermal and healing spring Fuencaliente. Today they have been re-located at Playa Echentive (Playa Nueva).
  On the San Antonio there is a visitor center where u. a. see a movie about the outbreak of neighboring Teneguia in 1971. In addition, you can experience on a simulator in the outdoor area, as the earthquake strength 5 feels.

Visita al volcán de San Antonio en la Palma (Canarias)

San Antonio

Última actualización:17/10/2021

Una de las atracciones turísticas más importantes de la isla de la Palma es la visita al volcán de San Antonio. Quizás no sea el volcán mas imponente de la isla, pero su fácil accesibilidad, su cono perfecto y sus magnificas vistas sobre el volcán Teneguía hacen que su visita sea de carácter obligado.

Un poco de historia sobre el volcán San Antonio

El 17 de noviembre de 1677 el suelo de la isla de la Palma comenzó a temblar y el volcán de San Antonio entro en erupción. Comenzó a expulsar lava y sepultó lugares tan importantes como las aguas termales de la Fuente Santa, así como viviendas cercanas a Roque Teneguía. Indirectamente, a causa de los fuertes temblores, parte de la iglesia de San Antonio Abad se vino abajo.  Problemas que no cesaron hasta el fin de la erupción el 21 de enero de 1678.

Volcán de San Antonio

Visita al volcán de San Antonio

El volcán de San Antonio se encuentra en el municipio de los Canarios, justo en el tramo final de la famosa ruta de los volcanes y por donde discurre parte de la transvulcania.

Su visita tiene un coste de 5 euros para los no residentes, incluyendo el parking, la visita al centro de visitantes del volcán de San Antonio y el paseo por encima del cráter.

Centro de visitantes

Por lo general, especialmente en los meses mas calurosos, si llegamos a primera hora de la mañana lo mejor es dirigirnos directamente al cráter del volcán y a nuestra vuelta pasar por el centro de visitantes. Si llegamos mas tarde, el orden nos dará igual dado que no podremos escaparnos del calor.

Paseo hasta el volcán San Antonio

El paseo es muy corto y sin desnivel apreciable. Apenas nos separan 200/300 metros del centro de visitantes de la cima del volcán. Un paseo abierto a todo tipo de públicos y en parte esta adaptado para minusválidos.

Inicio del sendero al volcán

Nada más salir del centro de visitantes tomamos el sendero hacia el volcán. Este no tiene perdida y esta muy bien señalizado. Pasaremos por un pequeño observador astronómico e incluso un simulador de seísmos antes de llegar al primer mirador del cráter.  

El cráter

Ya en el primer mirador observamos la gran cantidad de arboles que hay en el cráter, sinónimo de que el volcán no ha despertado en cientos de años. Su diámetro es muy grande, probablemente unos 100 metros y no esta permitido bajar hasta el fondo. De hecho, el paseo solo recorre un tercio del diámetro del cráter que en cualquier caso es suficiente.

Los Quemados

A nuestro lado derecho hay una magnifica panorámica de los Quemados, las Indias, la zona hotelera de la Palma & Teneguia Princess y todas las plataneras de la costa.

San Antonio

Pasado el primer mirador y ya sobre un sendero más estrecho, llegamos hasta los 674 metros de altitud. No es la parte más alta del volcán, pero si la que dispone mejores vistas de el volcán Teneguía.

Volcán Teneguía

Miramos de nuevo el cráter del volcán San Antonio, tan redondo y perfecto. A nuestro lado unos prismáticos para observar las salinas de Fuencaliente y el volcán Teneguía. Este volcán erupcionó en el año 1971, siendo la ultima erupción sobre suelo firme en las islas Canarias.

Regresando al centro de visitantes

Tras la visita a su cráter, regresaremos por el mismo camino hasta el centro de visitantes donde hay información sobre la ultima erupción del San Antonio, la del Teneguía con videos incluidos, conceptos básicos de vulcanología y un resumen muy completo de volcanes alrededor del mundo.

Datos prácticos

¿Dónde esta el volcán San Antonio?

Se encuentra en la localidad de los Canarios al sur de la isla de la Palma.

¿Cómo llegar al volcán San Antonio?

Tomamos la LP-2 desde Santa Cruz de la Palma en dirección sur. Una vez lleguemos a los Canarios veremos un letrero con desvío a la izquierda indicando el volcán de San Antonio.

¿Qué horario tiene?

El horario en verano es de 10:00 a 18:00. Puede cambiar y os podéis informar en el teléfono +34 691 593 584.

¿Cuánto cuesta?

El coste para los empadronados en el cabildo de Fuencaliente es gratuito. Canarios 3.50 euros y resto de visitantes es de 5 euros.

¿Se puede ir con niños?

Es una actividad perfecta para los mas pequeños de la casa. Es recomendable que usen protección solar y tener cuidado en días de mucho viento.

¿Dónde aparcar?

En el mismo centro de visitantes del Volcán de San Antonio.

¿Dónde comer?

Os recomendamos tomar un barraquito con pastas en el Bar Parada, en el municipio de los Canarios.

Estos tres restaurantes no fallan, simplemente, lo mejor y alguno con buenos precios.

• La Placita food & place cerca de la Charca Azul
• Kiosco 7 en el Remo
• Restaurante Temático el Jardín de la Sal en las Salinas de Fuencaliente

¿Dónde dormir?

Puerto Naos es un tipo Torrevieja o Los Cristianos, sin glamour pero lleno de apartamentos baratos. Santa Cruz es un buen lugar para alojarse, debido a que posee numerosos servicios y una buena localización para visitar la isla. Lo mejor es alojarse en el centro, sea en el estreno este o oeste, de cara a siempre tener la misma distancia para visitar cualquier enclave de la isla, pero clave, dependerá del tipo de alojamiento que busques.

• Resort La Palma Princess. Situado al sur, es el hotel más grande y con la piscina mas espectacular de la isla. Ideal para ir en familia y desaparecer del mundo :).
• Atico la Marina, en Santa Cruz.
• Villa Torres, con piscina y 3 dormitorios
• Apartamentos La Caleta, a buen precio y con piscina
• B&B Amigos de la naturaleza. Muy básico, pero muy barato

Volcán Hits the Road for First West Coast Tour

Posted inArts & Culture

Volcán performs during a preview of Luminaria in November 2018. Credit: Bonnie Arbittier / San Antonio Report

After playing to a packed and energetic Pearl Park for the First Thursday Night Market, members of popular San Antonio band Volcán loaded their gear and luggage into a 15-passenger van and began the nearly 900-mile drive to Tucson, Arizona.

Tucson was the first stop on a 7-city tour that will find Volcán playing in California and then El Paso on the way back home. It is the first time the self-described “indie orquestra Latina” will perform outside of Texas.

“This is us betting on ourselves, betting that we are ready to find bigger audiences and to get closer as a musical family,” Mejia said.

The show at Pearl Park was a combination warmup and send-off for the group. Led by conceptual mastermind, songwriter, manager, and multi-instrumentalist Jaime Humberto Mejia, Volcán has, in its five years together, moved from playing small nightclub gigs to official Fiesta events.

In its fullest incarnation, the young group, whose members range in age from 22 to 36, has 16 members. But, for a number of practical reasons, the tour finds the band pared down to a core of nine members.

The group’s huge and eclectic sound all starts with cumbia, a widely popular Latin American genre that originated in Colombia.  From its roots in cumbia, Volcán branches out to bachata, salsa, vallenato, banda, and calypso. But, that’s not all. The band’s complex, full-to-bursting sound also incorporates elements of pop, funk, and psychedelic rock, making for a singular and electric fusion.

Volcán congregates at the Pearl on Aug. 1.

The instruments employed by the group, which is fronted by charismatic and gifted lead vocalist Jose Juan Huizar, include accordion, piano, saxophone, trombone, guitar, drum set, congas and timbales, and violin.

Mejia, 29, is a self-taught Latin music scholar and formally trained percussionist who grew up with Latin music styles and began writing and self-recording at age 14. 

“This music is a part of me, of my heritage, my identity,” he said. That’s why his work with Volcán is powered by a deep sense of responsibility to “preserve the music and the culture around it, but also to make it more modern and accessible.”

He believes that many people in the United States, with disparate Latin American roots, simply haven’t gravitated to more traditionally-inspired types of music because “they can’t identify themselves in the music, which can feel like it belongs to another time. ”

Wanting to see traditional Latin American music as “alive in the modern world,” Mejia looks to use Volcán to uplift cultures and communities: past, present, and future. He hopes that the band’s own “authentic love” will translate in such a way as to make people feel more at home in their own selves.

“Without the ensemble, these songs are just notes and words on a piece of paper,” he said. “The songs don’t live without the band members being able to see themselves in the music.” 

That act of full identification, which Mejia expects from his team, is also an integral part of what he hopes to bring to audiences in San Antonio and elsewhere.

“I want people to identify with Latin American culture through us and with us, and, even if it’s in a small way or for a small number of people, to show that it’s OK to love your culture and the music that comes with it.”

Mejia believes the band has “really built something special and magical here in San Antonio,” but feels that Volcán’s momentum is just getting started.

“People in town come up to us after shows and always ask where we are from because they just can’t seem to believe that this came right from their own backyard,” he said.

Mejia is hopeful that Volcán, which has released one EP, one live album, and a few singles to date, can transmit its power and energy to wider audiences as the band gears up to finish work on a forthcoming record. He said he also hopes to build relationships with California counterparts.

“We are representing our cultural music to a bigger audience and doing it with a younger aesthetic and spirit,” Mejia said, noting that he wants people to feel “like this music isn’t just for their parents or their grandparents.”

Volcanoes of La Palma

Many tourists know about the volcanic origin of the Canary Islands. Cinders, ash fields and volcano cones have formed part of the local landscapes. The age of the eastern islands that rose from the Atlantic Ocean is about twenty million years old, and the western ones are about three million years old. The youngest islands are Hierro and La Palma.

The landscapes of the different islands that make up the archipelago differ in their type. For a long time, erosion subjected the eastern islands to external changes, as a result of which mountain ranges were flattened and spacious plains were created. The western and central part of the archipelago has a different appearance with deep long gorges (barrancos) stretching from the mainland to the ocean for many kilometers. The landscape with unusual outlines is distinguished by stone steps, thresholds and cliffs. Wildlife here is observed in the valleys, the largest of which is Aridane, located on La Palma.

The island began to form about two million years ago. It was at this time that an underwater volcano threw its lava onto the surface of the water. La Palma belongs to the young islands of the Canaries. The base of the volcano is located at a depth of 4 kilometers below sea level. The island has a height of 6.5 kilometers from the ocean floor. This is the third island in the world according to this indicator.

A volcanic eruption caused the rise of the Risco de la Concepción. Nowadays it is the border of Santa Cruz de la Palma. For centuries, the possibility of bypassing the rock opens only at low tide. At 19In 17, the construction of the first tunnel through the rock was completed, which connected the port with the capital of La Palma. It was subsequently closed, but it still exists. The Risco de la Concepción is protected here as a natural monument.

Other volcanoes on the island are Todoku, La Laguna, Triana and Argeual. The last time they erupted more than five centuries ago. Volcanoes participated in the formation of the Aridane Valley. At the moment, this is the location of the city of Los Llanos de Aridane. This group of volcanoes is called de Aridane. It is under protection as a natural monument. The beach areas surrounding the valley of the same name are covered with black sand, the color of which was influenced by the activity of local volcanoes.

When the surface layers of the Todoku volcano hardened, a volcanic chimney was created with the participation of its underground current. Now it is also a protected natural monument. Walking through the underground channel is limited, as it is a habitat for sensitive invertebrates that have formed their own unique environment and should not be disturbed.

The island consists of two climatic zones, which are separated by the volcanoes of the Cumbre Vieja group.

La Palma eruptions

Montana Cuemada

The first volcanic eruption on La Palma confirmed by historians is the activity of Montana Cuemada from 1470 to 1492. The name of the volcano is translated as “burnt mountains”.

Zhedi and Tayuya

Zhedi and Tayuya volcanoes erupted lava during the period May-August 1585. This volcanic activity is among the most destructive. The agriculture of La Palma was especially affected by it.

Martin

The Martin volcano erupted between September and December 1646. Cumbre Vieja summit was the site of four lava flows that flooded the eastern part of the island near Fuencaliente. Then they went to sea. Nowadays, in this area you can visit the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park with the Los Arreboles and El Bucaro boilers, the Hoyo Negro and Duraznero craters, the Nikuyomo and Jedi mountains. This area is called an active volcanic ridge. It is protected as a natural monument thanks to the extinct volcano Montana de Azufre with its unique landscape. It is located on the coast in the municipality of Villa de Mazo.

San Antonio

San Antonio erupted in January 1677. St. Antonio’s Day was celebrated on the island at that time. The volcanic crater is considered the most famous on La Palma. This place is often visited by tourists. Before volcanic activity, thermal waters were flowing from the source of Fuente Santa, but the lava blocked it.

El Charco

El Charco volcano is located on the southwestern coast of the island. In 1712, lava from it went into the ocean. El Charco had fourteen weakly erupting vents. The landscape of Tamanka is formed by the lava fields of the volcano. This is a protected natural area. Agricultural work is carried out on a small area.

São Giovanni

São Giovanni erupted in June 1949. The top of Cumbre Vieja (Duraznero ridge) became the place where lava came to the surface of the earth. Two weeks later, a channel was opened in Llano del Banco and the channels of two rivers with lava filled the territory of the western coast of the island. One stream stopped in front of the Hermita de San Nicolás de Bari Chapel in El Paso. In July, columns of ash began to emerge from the new opening of Hoyo Negro, which hung over Los Llanos de Aridane.

Tenegia

Tenegia was the name given to the area by the natives before the arrival of the Spaniards. This is the name of the last awakened volcano of La Palma, which caused the disappearance of thermal springs. Its eruption began in October 1971 and ended in November. Part of the lava came out of the ocean. Tourists really enjoyed watching this spectacle. Volcano Tenegiya has a height of 438 m. It is still warm near its crater. The lava fields are protected as a natural monument.

The green part of La Palma contrasts amazingly with the volcanoes of Fuenacaliente, Teneguia and San Antonio. The edge of the latter is only partially accessible to tourists. The rest is unsafe and impassable. You can go on a tour here. From this place, tourists admire the beautiful views of the neighboring volcano Tenegiya and the coast.

Not far from the San Antonio volcano, the Visitor Center has all the information you need about the area. You can also see the seismograph readings here. The center is open every day from nine in the morning until six in the evening, and in the summer – until seven in the evening. The entrance ticket costs four euros, and residents visit it for two euros.

Volcano tours

The central part of La Palma is connected to its extreme points by three volcanic ridges. Only the Taburiente caldera stretches across the entire island territory. It starts in the north of the island and ends in the south. This is one of the main natural attractions of La Palma. It is equipped with the so-called “Volcano Route”, which goes along the entire ridge past the craters. Its end point is the extreme south of La Palma – Teneguia volcano.

The central part of the southern region of La Palma is home to the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park, which brings together 6 municipalities. Its main purpose is to protect the Tenegiya volcano. There are also lava flows and volcano cones. Picturesque pine forests grow in the park. From its northern part towards the south, a pedestrian route “Volcano Road” was laid, which has a length of 24 kilometers. It has all the necessary markup.

It can be overcome in six to eight hours. The lowest point of the route is located at an altitude of 630 m above sea level, and the highest point is 1350 m. Along the way, you will see the main volcanoes of the island. The route is laid along lava flows and evergreen forests. During the journey, tourists admire the natural beauties of La Palma. If the weather is clear, then the gaze of travelers reaches the nearby islands.

The start of the route is the Refugio El Pilar recreation area. It is equipped with a Visitor Center which is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The route ends in the south of the island in Fuencaliente, next to the lighthouse, which can be visited in the Museum of the island’s marine reserve. It is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, and in the summer from 10 am to 6 pm.
The lighthouse is surrounded by an area of ​​37,000 square meters where Las Salinas de Fuencaliente produces sea salt.

A comfortable stay with a baby is quite possible, you just have to try to follow the usual daily routine, if, of course, there is one. Do not forget about everyday household rituals, favorite things and toys of the child.

Since this was the first experience of a vacation with a baby, two suitcases full of food, diapers, clothes, toys and all the necessary things on vacation flew to La Palma on vacation for him: bedding, diapers, swim rings, protective creams etc. This option is convenient because as you eat cereals and cans, use diapers and diapers, there is free space for purchases and gifts from the island.

After sleeping and eating, the mood is great and you can walk 🙂

Every day was planned in advance, sometimes the weather made small adjustments, but in general the first week was quite calm and looked something like this. Depending on the weather forecast and the sun, half of the day was allocated for relaxing by the pool or on the beach, and the second part for sightseeing.

Relax on the beach

On the road one way from the hotel La Palma Teneguia Princess & Spa, where we stayed the first week, it took a maximum of 1.5-2 hours. So that the child has time to sleep in the car, does not get tired and is not capricious when visiting various interesting places together.

Solidified lava flows

The southern part of the island is very different from the rest. After all, it was here that the last volcanic eruption took place, which happened on October 26, 1971 and lasted until mid-November. The landscapes are dominated by frozen bizarre lava fields, greenery, if found, is very sparingly.

The power and beauty of the ocean

Las Salinas de Fuencaliente.

A place where salt is mined

Our first attraction was a private enterprise for the production of sea salt – Las Salinas de Fuencaliente. To visit them, it was not necessary to drive high up the serpentines by car, the road ran along the coast, and the distance from the hotel was 8 km. Travel time is about 15 minutes.

Two lighthouses. South point of the island.

From the road there is a nice view of two lighthouses: the old one and the new one, located nearby. By the way, these are not just lighthouses, the old one houses the Centro de Interpretación de la Reserva Marina de La Palma (Interpretation Center for the Marine Reserve of La Palma Island). Admission is free, open from Tuesday to Saturday in the summer from 10:00 to 18:00, the rest of the year from 9:00 to 17:00. With the baby, we decided not to visit the center, but to take a walk nearby in the vast territory where salt production is located.

Old lighthouse and parking lot

There is a large parking lot next to the lighthouse, then there is a path along which you can safely drive with a stroller. If you want to go down closer to the salt, then the stroller must be left at the top.

This is how salt is obtained

Sea water evaporates from special “pools” and salt crystals form. Since the process is long, coming here you can see a completely different picture.

Against the backdrop of salty landscapes

We were lucky, and we found squares with salt, someone meets only pools filled with water, and someone meets salty hills just before the collection. The photos are very interesting and few people will immediately determine what it is in the photo.

Natural product – “sea salt”

A little more salt

Nearby there is a small cafe where you can have a snack.

San Antonio and Tenenguia volcanoes.

Volcanoes

Volcanoes can be called the main attraction of the south. It is here that the famous Ruta de los Volcanos ends – the road of volcanoes, more than 20 km long. With a child, we did not dare to go this way, because. the entire route, depending on physical readiness, takes from 6 to 8-9 hours.

San Antonio volcano crater, covered with pines

But to get acquainted with volcanoes, it is best to choose the San Antonio crater. The volcano erupted in 1677. Part of the formed crater is open to the public, and we will talk about it.

On the way we saw vineyards and a view of the coast, so we decided to stop and take pictures. On La Palme, as well as on Lanzarote, grapes are grown on black volcanic soil. By the way, in the south of the island there is the Teneguia winery (Bodegas Teneguia), whose malvasia was tasted and brought home a couple of bottles.

Farming on volcanic land

Vineyards on volcanic land

Whole buses bring tourists to the volcano, but if you are by car, you can get from Fuencaliente de la palma (Los Canarios) turning onto the LP209 road.

Astronomical Stargazing Site

Here you will find the visitor center open every day, seven days a week from 09.00 to 18.00 and in summer until 19.00. The entrance fee is €5, payable at the entrance. What is included in the price? Walk along the crater to the observation deck. The road is narrow, from the side of the cliffs it is protected by a stretched rope, the stones crumble underfoot. Of course, there is no question of any stroller. Baby in arms, in a sling or a carrier.

What should be considered?! The height of the crater itself is not very high, but you are in an open area with very strong winds. And if below the hotel we sunbathed and swam, then having risen to the volcano, we faced a temperature of 16 degrees and a piercing wind. It’s best to bring a jacket. For the child, they organized this option from dad’s sweatshirt.

Slingo and view of the San Antonio crater

The strength of the wind, for example, can be seen in the direction of growth of a pine tree on the edge of the crater.

Pine growing in the wind

From the observation deck at the very end of the path along the crater, you can see Teneguia and in the distance you can see the lighthouse and the saltworks.

View of the saltworks and the Teneguia volcano

For those who are especially persistent, for whom walking along the crater is not enough, we can offer a route to the lighthouse. Going down is easier than going up. In this case, it is worth considering the option with a car or using a taxi.

Teneguia Volcano

End point along the crater of San Antonio volcano

Also included in the price is a visit to the visitor center where you can watch a movie about the last volcanic eruption and get information about the activity of volcanoes, not just the islands.

What else can you see if you live in the south and don’t spend more than 1-2 hours on the road one way?

1) Los Llanos de Aridane.

The road from the hotel is just over 30 km and takes about an hour. And before you will be the largest city in terms of population on the island, of course, it deserves a separate post.

2) Caldera Taburiente.

Just over 35 km. way and the main and most recognizable sight of the island will be in front of you. There are small nuances that are important for visiting this park, a separate post is also planned about this.

3) Wine Museum and Glorieta Square.

The plan to visit was a small wine museum – Casa Museo del Vino Las Manchas. The museum is open: Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 18:00, Saturday from 11:30 to 14:00.

Arriving at the opening time of the museum on Wednesday, we did not get into it. Because the doors were closed. The sellers of the neighboring liquor stores offered to wait a bit.

There is a mini square Plaza La Glorieta nearby, where we managed to walk, take pictures and play with the child until 11 am, in the hope that the wine museum will open later than the time indicated on the sign.

But even at 11 o’clock it continued to be closed. We were not the only visitors who wanted to get into the museum, cars drove up, tourists got out, waited, walked and left, so did we.

Observation decks.

Climbing up from the hotel and choosing the path towards Los Llianos de Aridane on the LP-2 road, you pass several observation decks with views of the ocean.

Mirador de las Indias. It offers a magnificent view of the ocean, as well as the hotel in which we lived.

Clouds in the ocean

Viewpoint Las Indias

Also on the LP-2 road there are places where you can take a picture of the west coast and the Tamanca site.

Southwest coast of the island

Beaches in the south and southwest of the island.

There are no wide beaches in the south, you can mostly swim in small bays. Not so far from the hotel (5 minutes by car) is the Playa de la Zamora beach. The photo is a top view.

A series of stairs lead to the beach, black fine sand. In case of strong waves, swimming will not work, as this is the closest beach from the La Palma Tenenguia Princess hotel on sunny days it can be crowded. This beach has been visited a couple of times. Since they were with the baby, they went to large “civilized beaches”.

Playa de la Zamora

Without getting to the wine museum, we went to the beautiful Charco Verde beach. A comfortable path leads to the beach, you can walk with a stroller to the very sand. There are lifeguards on this beach and you can rent sun loungers, but at the same time there is a sense of privacy, no one imposes their services and you can safely lie on the sand on your towels.

Panorama of the beach Charco Verde

Rocks on the approach to Charco Verde

Another beach we liked was Playa Puerto Naos in the town of the same name. The beach is large, wide with dark sand. A distinctive feature is a rock of volcanic origin with a small altar.

Puerto Naos beach. View of the rock with the altar

Playa Puerto Naos

On the beach you can relax under the palm trees, there are umbrellas. But at the same time, there are a lot of people in the central part and there may be waves when entering the water. We tried to be located on the edge closer to the rocks.

In the very south we managed to swim in two places.

Playa del Faro de Fuencaliente

Next to the lighthouses and the salt works, there is a small cove Punta Nueva with small fishermen’s houses and the black sand and pebble beach of Playa del Faro de Fuencaliente. Despite the strong wind, there were no big waves, and we decided to swim.

Swimming in the ocean

There is no beach as such, there are stones of different sizes around, so this place is not suitable for families with children.

On the way back from the salt works to the hotel, we found a nice and colorful place called Playa Nueva Echentive.

Solidified lava

Road to the beach

Comfortable paths descend to the beach, the beach itself is rocky, it’s not particularly suitable for relaxing with a child, but it’s just right to sit on the ocean.

Playa Echentive

I also managed to swim.

Way back from the beach

This concludes my review of the main places in the south. There is a lot of interesting things ahead: the main cities, parks and reserves, a walk along the Caldera and climbing to the highest point of the island.

The beauty and power of Mexico’s volcanoes. David Gonzalez

The beauty of Mexico’s volcanoes is comparable to their power. Topped with snow caps or erupting columns of ash and smoke, they still represent a ready field for future nature photographers. But for Hector Guerrero, this is something more than nature for beautiful pictures. The 33-year-old photographer sees them as the embodiment of environmental and social challenges for his country.

For several years he photographed along the route along which the seven highest volcanoes in Mexico are located. They are located in a wide variety of weather conditions and put pressure on the environment, forcing people living nearby to flee to the US or live under constant threat. His photographs tell of places where snowfalls, which were previously regular, have stopped; about villages where residents were forced to defend themselves against drug crime with weapons in their hands; about new cities, the population of which has been displaced from their lands by mining or illegal deforestation.

“On this route you can find almost every possible climate and every possible problem of a big city,” he says. – When you talk about violence in Latin America, you will find many conflicts that have arisen over the control of water or mountain resources. However, people do not make this connection. Mexico has many problems related to drug trafficking. But why do young people go into organized crime? Many of them come from communities or places where traditional occupations have been displaced by the mines.”

When he was working on this project, he wanted to challenge the traditional image of the place in some way. Instead of working in lavish color, I opted for black and white photography to highlight the human aspect of the whole story rather than the beauty of nature. Its purpose is to show people in their relationship with the environment of life. He started from El Nevado de Toluca, where it snowed all year round.

“People didn’t think about it at all,” says the photographer. – Now it is no more, and they appreciate what was. Now it’s a protected national park. ”

He photographed in the vicinity of the Colima volcano, also known as the Fire Volcano, where the government has allowed people to settle, although the volcano is still active. “People are not afraid of the volcano,” he says. “You see ash falling on the city, but people don’t want to leave. The government requires them to sign a paper stating that they understand the risk and take it on themselves, no matter what happens.

Elsewhere, he photographed cities long buried under lava and ash, where a belfry rises above the landscape. He also photographed places where urban development and pollution have severely ruined beautiful views, including volcanoes, and cities whose inhabitants are forced to take up arms in self-defense. These photographs can be more classified as photojournalism and reflect the professional growth of the photographer.

He started taking photographs at the age of 16 when his mother demanded that he learn a trade in case his academic education could not support him. He took a photography course with the expectation that it would be easy and fun. “I had never photographed before,” he says. – We didn’t have a camera at home, there weren’t even children’s photos. So after seeing the initial course, I asked if it would be difficult.” He studied lighting, composition and development, but got bored looking at the work of his teachers, who shot mostly weddings and studio shots. His fate was sealed when he saw Bruno Barbey’s report on clashes and protests in Paris 1968 years old.

“They made a huge impression on me,” he says. Why is someone filming this? I thought photography was only about happy events. I asked the teacher and he said it was photojournalism. These photos changed my life, at the age of 16 I realized that I wanted to be a photojournalist.”

He spent a lot of time on the streets photographing various scenes and also running to the local newspapers in search of work. One of the editors gave him some rolls of film and said that if the pictures were good enough, they would be published. He eventually landed a full-time job, although he is now a freelancer working for Agence France-Presse, among other agencies. His first photos for them were (you guessed it!) about volcanoes.

His interest reflects his view of environmental and climate change based largely on his observations. How glaciers disappear from some peaks. In addition to thinking about ecology, the photographer is also attracted by the beauty of these glaciers, and he wants to convey his understanding to his compatriots.

“Many people know the name of the volcano but have never seen it up close,” he says. “They have not seen a single campaign telling about the wonders of this natural phenomenon. The Mexican government simply dropped the subject. People can’t love what they don’t know.”

La Canarian palm. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT La Palma

As mentioned above, tourism does not dominate the island, and this can only be rejoiced at. Although the beaches of La Palma are good, they are few due to the peculiarities of the coast, which is an almost continuous line of rocks. In addition to the “classic” ones, offering an ordinary beach holiday, there are specialized ones: Playa Nueva suitable for surfing and nudist Las Monjas.

Popular resorts of La Palma: quiet Los Cancajos on the east coast and cheerful Puerto Naos on the west. Of course, there are well-equipped beaches in the capital: one of them stretches all the way to the port.

Climate, nature and ecology of La Palma

The landscape of the south of the island is decorated with a mountain range, more precisely, a ridge of volcanic cones, ending in the south with the dormant volcano Tenegua. In the north is the highest mountain of La Palma – Roque de Los Muchachos (2426 m), as well as the world’s largest caldera Taburiente with a diameter of more than 10 km (a vast basin formed after an eruption at the site of the crater). At the top of the mountain there is an observatory with the largest telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. True, it is closed to the public.

More than a third of the island is occupied by pine forests and laurel groves. La Palma is the only island in the archipelago where there are, albeit small, rivers. The soils of the island are fertile, so agriculture is developed here.

La Palma is located in a subtropical arid climate zone, with no significant changes in weather conditions throughout the year. Daytime temperatures in winter are +18⁰ … +21⁰, in summer: +25⁰ … +28⁰. The sea warms up to a comfortable +22⁰ in early June and starts to cool down only in early November. The water temperature never drops below +18⁰, but not everyone likes a refreshing swim. The amount of precipitation is low and is about 300 mm per year. Rains are more common in late autumn and early spring.

The main attraction of the island – National
Park Caldera de Taburiente

located in the center of the island. A huge erosion crater was formed 400 thousand years ago as a result of a monstrous explosion and earthquake. In addition to rocks that have unusual shapes, the crater is covered with a dense pine forest. The depth of the crater reaches 2,000 m, in a circle it is 28 km (diameter 8-10 km.) And covers an area of ​​2426 m. A stone spire 800 m high rises from the bottom – Rocke de Idafe.

The caldera funnel is also crossed by deep ravines, with waterfalls and with a water drop of more than 100 m ( cascadas de la Desfondada, Hoyo Verde de colores, la Fondada
and others) and iron water streams like riachuelo Almendro Amargo
, coloring stones in a bright red-orange color. Almost all the water flows into the beautiful Dos Aguas Gorge (Dos Aguas)
at an altitude of 520 m.

, created specifically for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the reserve. Here you can see the exposition in the exhibition hall, a film about the formation and characteristics of the Caldera, get maps in Spanish, English or German, guides and brochures.

2.

One of the largest and most significant observatories in the Northern Hemisphere
is located on this island. The Palma has unique geographic, topographical and meteorological conditions that are exceptionally favorable for stargazing. The remoteness and sparsely populated island allows scientists to observe the starry sky in the absence of artificial light. The air above the mountain is virtually still, aided by the prevailing winds and the unique shape of the mountain. For most of the year, the clouds that trap dust and moisture lie below the observatory. All these factors contribute to ideal observation of distant stars and galaxies.

The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory is an astronomical observatory founded in 1985 in the municipality of Garafia, belonging to the Canarian Institute of Astrophysics, which is part of the Northern European Observatory. The largest observatory belongs to Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes.
It houses the largest telescope in Europe named after William Herschel. Today, several international scientific organizations work here. “Telescopic time” is strictly divided among professional astronomers from all over the world. Several specialists claim for every minute at once. Everything is controlled from a computer console, and the operators sit in warm rooms. Thanks to the natural conditions of Palma and the extreme precision of scientific equipment, the observatory on the Roque de los Muchachos is a unique window into the Universe.

3.

The entire north of the island is covered with laurel forests growing at an altitude of 500-1500 m. Such forests covered the entire south of Europe in the Tertiary period. Only here you can find trees and ferns, which can rightfully be considered real living fossils. Forest Los Tilos
,
located near Los Sauces
, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, is an excellent example of such a forest. There are hiking trails here.

Gorges of Barranco del Agua (barranco del Agua)
in the northeast of the island municipality of Puntallana (Puntallana)
and Cubo de la Galga (Cubo de la Galga)
and the natural reserve of Galgen (Galguén)
in the municipalities of Barlovento and Garafía (Barlovento and Garafía)
are also worth special attention. Every nature lover will appreciate these excursions.

4.

Not far from Barlovento there is a small cultural park, fraught with many mysteries and secrets. This is an archaeological area and an ethnographic center La Zarza
, where you can see evidence of the existence of benaoares – the ancient inhabitants of La Palma. They left petroglyphs carved into rocks at several locations in the northern part of the island, including Faro’s Destiny, Don Pedro and Juan Adalid. These drawings consist mainly of spirals, circles and linear figures, their meaning remains unknown. Interestingly, exactly the same drawings, called petroglyphs, are present in the Irish Newgrange and date back to the megalithic era (Irish petroglyphs date back to 3200 BC; they are older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids). The information center has a museum dedicated to the life of the Aurites. The exposition is complemented by a 20-minute video.

A in the archaeological park of Belmaco, in the municipality of Villa de Mazo
, you can see ten caves and rock paintings of the Benaoarites – the residence of the last leaders of the canton of Tigalate – Hugiro and Gareagua. It was here that the first rock paintings in the Canary Islands were discovered in the 18th century.

5.

At La Tosca
(Barlovento)
and Buracas (Garafía)
you can admire the dragon trees growing here. The trunks of the oldest dragon trees look very exotic: they are disproportionately thick, topped with a dense brush of sharp leaves. The trunk of an adult dracaena fancifully branches, forming many side shoots. Some trees put out aerial roots covering the trunk. And sometimes a hollow is formed in the trunk of an old dragon tree – so large that it can accommodate a person. Such trees are considered sacred by the inhabitants of the Canary Islands; rituals are performed near them.

Red resin is also considered sacred, which is secreted by dracaena on the cut. This resin was used for embalming in ancient times, the legend says that this is not just resin: under the bark of the dracaena is the real blood of the dragon. Carnivorous dragons once lived in these parts and elephants were their prey. But one day a big elephant fell and crushed the dragon. The dragon’s blood soaked the ground and climbed up the trunk of the tree that had grown on the spot.

The seeds of the dragon tree are used by the locals to make beautiful ornaments.

6.
Visiting volcanoes San Antonio and Teneguía (Fuenacaliente)
will not leave anyone indifferent, they are an amazing contrast to the green part of the island.
The last volcanic eruption was in 1971 and near its crater you can still feel the heat from the extinct volcano today.

7.

La Palma has beautiful comfortable beaches of black volcanic sand. The water is very clean, and thanks to artificially erected breakwaters on some of them, very calm. There is a huge amount of marine life off the coast, so in addition to swimming, there are excellent conditions for diving. The beaches are quite comfortable: there are playgrounds and many cafes, and huge palm trees grow along the beaches, under the shade of which you can relax from the hot sun. You can also discover almost wild, but lovingly manicured beaches or visit artificial sea pools.

Island capital


(Santa Cruz de La Palma) is a small town with many narrow streets and old neoclassical and colonial buildings with Portuguese or Andalusian details. It is located on a mountainside, near the rim of la Caldereta crater. The importance of the island of La Palma during the Renaissance, when its capital Santa Cruz became the third port of the Spanish Empire after Seville and Antwerp, is reflected in its architecture.

City center – small triangular Plaza de Espana

(Spain Square) with a wonderful stone fountain (1776). On it is a monument to the “liberal” and the priest El Salvador
-Manuel Diaz Hernandez (1774-1863).

On the other side of the square is the no less famous City Hall of the capital – built in 1569, with an arcade in the style of the Italian Renaissance. The second floor is decorated with the coats of arms of Philip II of Spain, Palma and the Austrian royal house. The town hall is also famous for one feature – wood trim and ceiling treatment, called Mudéjar. Inside, the walls are painted with “Pilgrimage” by the Palmeran artist González Mendes (1843-1909) and frescoes by the artist M. Kassir (1890-1960) showing the folklore of La Palma.
The very first democratic town hall in Spain in 1773! Here is a very old and valuable archive of historical documents up to 1553.

Another attraction of Santa Cruz is the fortress Castillo de Santa Catalina

, which perfectly defended the city from numerous French pirates. It was built in 1554, after the defeat of the city by pirates led by the legendary François Le Clerc
in 1553, and thanks to which the islanders were able to repel the legendary pirate Francis Drake
in 1585. It also served as the location of the military garrison. On its territory there were living quarters, warehouses and a prison.

Casa Salazar

, on one of the main streets of Santa Cruz. This incredibly beautiful, rich building was built already in the 17th century by the governor of the island, Ventura Salazar.

At the end of the street Calle Real
you can see the Ship of Our Lady, Barco de la Virgen

– Maritime Museum Santa Cruz de La Palma (Museo Naval de Santa Cruz de La Palma)
. Santa Maria
– a replica ship of St. Mary, on which Christopher Columbus made his journey to America, was built by the descendants of sailors and shipbuilders and opened since 1940 as a maritime museum.

North of the capital Santa Cruz, in the municipality of Velhoco, is the shrine of the island’s patroness, Nueatra Senora de Las Nievas. C – Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows, with an altar made of Mexican silver and a terracotta statue of the Madonna. Image itself Virgen de Las Nieves
already from the 15th century. This is the oldest depiction of the Virgin in the Canary Islands. The iconostasis was built in the 16th century, in the Baroque style, it is gilded and many details are made in chased silver (art of the 17th-18th centuries). This church houses one part of a collection of Flemish sculptures and paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, which are located in different churches of the island and represent a very rare and valuable historical heritage.

12.

Another attraction of the Canaries is the national cuisine – a mixture of Latin American and European cultures with the heritage of the indigenous population and elements of African cuisine. Its simplicity emphasizes the quality of local products. Canarian cuisine consists of simple but high-calorie dishes. The islanders love to eat with pleasure and a lot, in the family and in a big cheerful company.

South Road

Coming west from Santa Cruz, make your first stop in Las Nieves. This town is built on the side of a mountain. First you will see a roadside bar, and beyond that is the Royal Monastery of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, home to a highly revered terracotta statue of Our Lady of the Snows, who, according to legend, appeared in Rome during a snowfall in August. The statue belongs to the XIV century. The feast of Our Lady of the Snows is celebrated on August 5th. A special celebration is held every five years (2015, 2020, etc.). On this day, the statue is carried to Santa Cruz. The procession is called La Bajada de la Virgen (The Descent of Our Lady).

Then enter the tunnel under the La Cumbre Nueva mountain range. This ridge runs through the very center of the island. Behind the tunnel is the tourist center of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. Then the main road goes west to El Paso, a charming town where mighty prickly cacti rise around traditional houses. Outside the city is the Paraiso de las Aves park (open: daily 10.00-17.00, entrance fee). The park contains rare exotic birds. Excursions and educational programs are organized here. Of interest is also the estate of Los Llanos de Aridane, located in the heart of a fertile valley. Here you can experience traditional architecture surrounded by lush green gardens.

Before the southernmost part of the route, you can deviate to the El Time mirador. This viewpoint above a picturesque valley has a restaurant with stunning views. From here you can also go down to Tazacorta – a beautiful seaside town with many excellent fish restaurants. It was in this port that the Spanish conqueror Fernandez de Lugo landed on La Palma in 1492.

Follow the main road further south towards Fuencaliente. This town is famous for its wonderful wines. The serpentine winds between the hills, which are covered with bright flowers in spring, and leads to the lighthouse of El Faro de Fuencaliente, located on the southernmost point of the island. First stop is Bodegas Carballo wine cellar (open: daily 11.00-20.00, tel.: 922-444-140), where you can taste surprisingly strong local wines and buy what you like.

In 1677 the San Antonio volcano erupted. The once fertile lands were covered with a thick layer of ash – the depth of the layer reached 2 m. At the end of the century, local peasants developed a special way of farming. They dug deep trenches to get to the fertile layer of the earth, planted a vine, and then covered it with volcanic ash. Thanks to this, the grapes calmly withstood bad weather and even resisted phylloxera, which at the end of the 19th century. destroyed the vineyards of Europe.

Directly behind the road you can see the San Antonio volcano (the tourist center is open daily 9. 00-18.00) and go to the observation deck, which is located above the crater. Today, the crater, blown by all the winds, looks quite peaceful. It’s hard to believe that he could ever have done so much damage. A little further south you will see other signs of volcanic activity. Teneguya volcano erupted in 1971. Fortunately, human casualties were avoided. As a result of the eruption, lava flows rushed into the valley – petrified black lava on the slopes of the mountains can still be seen today, and the road is punched right in it. Surprisingly, bananas seem to enjoy these conditions and grow all over the place. (To learn about the history of banana cultivation in the Canary Islands, visit the small Banana Museum: Camino San Antonio; El Charco, Tazacorte; open: in summer Mon-Nm 10.00-13.00, 16.00-19.00, in winter Mon-Fri 10.00-13.30, 15.00-19.00.)

On approaching the sea, you find yourself on the small black beach of Playa de Zamora. On both sides, the beach is surrounded by surreal lava fields. A little to the side, between two lighthouses, there is a small fishing bay with a pebble beach. Check out the waterside restaurant for deliciously fresh fish.

On your way back to Santa Cruz, stop at the Belmaco Archaeological Park (open: Mon-Sat 10.00-18.00, 10.00-15.00, entry fee). The first archaeological finds in the Canary Islands date back to the 18th century. Then ten cave settlements were discovered, in which the Benaorites lived – the ancient inhabitants of Benaoare (as the ancient inhabitants called La Palma).

A little further away is the town of Maso, where you can buy copies of the products of ancient people, as well as local cigars. On Corpus Christi (May/June), the streets of Maso are covered with real carpets of flowers, leaves and sand.

North road

A picturesque serpentine winds along the east coast of La Palma. Stop at Mirador San Bartolome for a wonderful view of the coast. Drive up to the seaside town of San Andrea, where you can swim in the El Charco Azul natural pool. A little further from the coast, beyond San Andrés, begins the dense forest of Bosquede Los Tiles from the original Canarian laurel, which has become less and less common in recent years. Today this forest is a biosphere reserve and is under the protection of UNESCO. In the tourist center (open: Mon-Fri 9.00-17.00) you can take maps and get information about hiking.

The northern part of the island is worth a trip, if only to visit the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. The visitor center (open: daily 9.00-14.00, 16.00-18.30) is located outside the park, on the road to El Paso. Here you can get acquainted with the geology and geomorphology of the region, flora and fauna, find out about the possibility of camping and get a color map of hiking trails. Caldera de Taburiente is a giant crater 1500 m deep and 10 km in diameter. The crater arose 400 thousand years ago. Today it is a green fertile valley.

From the tourist center, follow the road through a wooded gorge surrounded by mist-shrouded peaks and drive 7 km to La Cumbrecita mirador. The observation deck offers great views when the weather permits (which is not always the case). From here you can see the Roque de los Muchachos and the monolithic rock Roque Idafe, believed to have been a sacred altar to the Guanches. You can drive along the caldera by car, but to feel the beauty of this place, it is better to take a hike.

Heading towards the caldera from the north, after Santa Cruz, turn onto a serpentine that runs past Pico de las Nieves to Roque de los Muchachos, the highest point of the island (2426 m above sea level). You can get here in different ways, but you should never forget about the weather. If the weather is good on the coast, this does not mean that it will remain the same at altitude. The weather changes very drastically and quickly. Going to the mountains, stock up on raincoats, jackets and sturdy shoes. In addition to beautiful views, on the mountain you can see the futuristic Astrophysical Observatory (closed to the public, except on special days in summer; information can be found on the website www. iac.es). It is the most important observatory in the Northern Hemisphere. Here is one of the largest telescopes in the world – the 400-cm telescope. William Herschel.

From the observatory, the road heads northwest to the isolated village of Santo Domingo de Garafia. Powerful waves of the ocean surf break on the coastal rocks. In places like nowhere you understand the weakness of man in the face of the forces of nature.

The surface is abundantly covered with dense pine and laurel forests, giving this massive green oasis a natural flair. From the central part of the island to the southern regions, there is a chain of volcanoes, some of which are active today. In the northern region of Palma, there is the world’s largest crater of erosional origin – Caldera de Taburiente, which was given the status of a National Park in the early 50s of the last century. There are few convenient areas for a beach holiday in the resort due to its geological structure, therefore, to a greater extent, tourist interest in it is caused by unique natural attractions. In 2002, UNESCO declared Palma a World Biosphere Reserve. Most of the local population is engaged in agriculture, where bananas and potatoes are considered the main crops. Much attention is paid to the cultivation of tobacco, which is not inferior in quality to Cuban cigars and is of considerable interest among tourists who buy it as souvenirs. The crime rate on the island is extremely low, but unemployment is high.

Historically, these lands were inhabited by Aurite tribes, traces of which were found by researchers in many places on the island. In the Middle Ages, pirates often visited here. There are many legends about their activities, treasures and treasures. Cultural enlightenment in the form of the construction of churches, the appearance of works of art, sculptures and crafts, came to the island in full with the heyday of the Renaissance, after which the importance of Palma in the life of the country also increased.

Ascender al pico más alto de España

Si hay algo de lo que Tenerife puede presumir es de sus extraordinarios espacios naturales. Pero hay uno que destaca especialmente: el Parque Nacional del Teide, el más visitado de Europa. Además de albergar la impresionante estructura volcánica del Teide, el pico más alto de España y Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad, aquí encontrarás el paisaje más sobrecogedor que quizá hayas visto.

Estamos ante una de las manifestaciones de volcanismo más espectaculares del mundo. La imaginación no alcanza para hacerse una idea de la imponente panorámica que aparece antes nuestros ojos desde la cima, a 3.715 metros de altitud, con la extraordinaria visión de la caldera, los cientos de conos, coladas, diques, roques… Sin olvidar las especies de flora y fauna que allí habitan, con numerosos endemismos, algunos incluso exclusivos del Parque.

Quienes estén en buena forma física y dispongan de unas seis horas pueden subir a pie hasta la cima por el sendero habilitado, pero también existe la posibilidad de utilizar el teleférico y ascender en tan solo unos minutos.

Contenido

Un recorrido por increíbles espacios naturales

Para la mayoría de quienes conocen la isla, el Parque Nacional del Teide es la joya natural por excelencia de Tenerife. Pero no la única. Rodeando este paisaje volcánico encontramos otro tesoro, el Parque Natural de Corona Forestal, un frondoso bosque de pinar canario que se extiende en toda su inmensidad por barrancos y valles. Todo un espectáculo de colores que varían entre el verde intenso de los pinos, el azul del mar y del cielo, y los tonos oscuros del gran volcán.

Y aún hay más. Como el Macizo de Anaga, una de las siete Reservas de la Biosfera de las Islas Canarias y refugio de especies de laurisilva ya extinguidas en la mayor parte del planeta, donde los valores naturales y culturales conviven en perfecta armonía. O el Parque Rural de Teno, un lugar de difícil orografía con impresionantes acantilados, valles y zonas boscosas cuyo aislamiento ha jugado a su favor, pues ha permitido mantener casi intactos valiosos hábitats que sirven de refugio a especies amenazadas. Entornos naturales que acogen también encantadores caseríos dedicados a la agricultura y ganadería.

Contenido

Pasear por centros históricos bien conservados

En Tenerife también se respira historia en varias de sus localidades. Un claro ejemplo es San Cristóbal de La Laguna, muestra única de ciudad colonial no amurallada que sirvió de inspiración a otras ciudades coloniales americanas. Ello, unido a que mantiene prácticamente inalterado el trazado original del siglo XV, la ha hecho merecedora de ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Contenido

La Orotava también alberga un importante conjunto histórico artístico, así como el centro de Puerto de la Cruz, que cuenta además con un interesante Jardín Botánico.

Igualmente merecen una visita la arquitectura civil y religiosa de Icod de los Vinos y, por supuesto, su enorme drago milenario, árbol endémico de la Macaronesia. O el pueblo costero de Garachico, que conserva aún las huellas de la violenta erupción volcánica que sufrió en 1706. Y, cómo no, la capital de la isla, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, donde se combina la ajetreada vida de ciudad moderna con un centro histórico delimitado por un triángulo de calles y plazas donde se sitúan sus edificios más emblemáticos. Uno de ellos es el Antiguo Hospital Civil, muestra de la arquitectura neoclásica que aloja uno de los museos más interesantes de la isla: el MUNA, Museo de Naturaleza y Arqueología.

15 mejores sitios que ver y cosas que hacer en TENERIFE (Canarias)

Observatorio de Izaña frente al Teide en Tenerife

Los que más alucina a quienes visitan por primera vez Tenerife en las islas Canarias es que se trata de un destino con un increíble patrimonio y naturaleza salvaje, muy alejado de la idea generalizada que se tiene de que solo es un destino de sol y playa.

Hace años residí en esa isla durante poco más de un año, en concreto en La Laguna, y entonces tuve ocasión de conocerla a fondo y pude descubrir a fondo los secretos de la isla.

Por suerte hemos regresado varias veces a Tenerife y así hemos podido comprobar cual ha ido siendo la evolución que ha tenido la isla con el paso de los años, y las mejoras en accesos a zonas que antes eran muy complicadas de llegar, y a las que ahora se accede con facilidad.

Paisajes del sur de Tenerife

Por aquel entonces, el centro turístico de la isla eran el Puerto de la Cruz y el Valle de la Orotava.

Un gran vergel, pero tiene el «problema» de que durante gran parte del año, y en concreto en verano, suele estar cubierta por el mar de nubes resultante de los vientos alisios.

En esa misma época, al principio de los 80, hacía poco tiempo que se había inaugurado el aeropuerto Tenerife Sur en la zona semidesértica del sur de la isla.

Cómo es viajar de turismo a Tenerife

Ahí estaba en pleno desarrollo la gran apuesta turística de Playa de las Américas y Los Cristianos, esta zona si, con sol asegurado durante todo el año.

Eso sí, debes saber que las playas de Tenerife no se benefician de los grandes sedimentos de arena que llegan desde el continente africano hasta las islas del este de Canarias.

Por tanto, sus mejores playas son artificiales, lo que en esa época incidía en que esta isla no se contemplaba como un destino prioritario de sol y playa.

Esto no significa que Tenerife no sea atractiva desde el punto de vista turístico, muy al contrario, es una gran joya que no es suficientemente conocida y apreciada por los españoles peninsulares.

Pero fuera del país si que son conscientes de ello, ya que de hecho las islas Canarias son la tercera comunidad más visitada de España por los turistas internacionales, solo por detrás de Cataluña y Andalucía.

Y es que con ese clima cálido y estable todo el año, Canarias se ha convertido es el sitio favorito de ingleses, alemanes, franceses y noruegos.

Cañadas del Teide

Lo Mejor que ver y hacer en Tenerife

De cara a tu posible viaje a Canarias, a continuación te voy a dar los mejores consejos para viajar a Tenerife.

Mejores paisajes en la isla de Tenerife

Las islas Canarias, desde el punto de vista paisajístico, tienen cada una de ellas muy diferentes características, pero en Tenerife encuentras un gran mosaico de todas ellas.

Te sorprenderá la enorme variedad de paisajes que puede ofrecer esta isla.

Valle de la Orotava y Cañadas del Teide

Desde el vergel con frondosa vegetación salvaje del Valle de la Orotava, donde se encuentra el tradicional lugar turístico del Puerto de la Cruz, hasta los parajes volcánicos de las Cañadas del Teide.

Valle de la Orotava en Tenerife

Pero también encontrarás paisajes repletos de grandes bosques de pino canario o zonas de gran verdor que te harán pensar que te encuentras en Galicia , los cuales son el de la gran humedad que los vientos aliseos traen la isla.

Resulta ciertamente curioso que la mitad de la isla sea realmente húmeda, con frecuentes lluvias, y la otra mitad semidesértica.

Las nubes siempre llegan a la isla por la misma vertiente movidas por los vientos alisios que traen humedad y descargan el agua en la mitad norte de la isla, siendo frenadas por las laderas de las montañas creadas por el volcán del Teide.

Reserva tu hotel, descuento, cancelación gratis

De cara a tu viaje, reserva ya tu hotel en booking.com con con descuentosy posible cancelación gratis.
Aquí puedes reservar tu hotel.

Los vientos alisios al llegar a la isla se convierten automáticamente en nubes, creando zonas de la isla en las que siempre hay espectaculares mares de nubes, una de las imágenes más increíbles de Tenerife.

Sin embargo, la parte sur de Tenerife es casi un desierto porque las nubes tienen problemas para sortear el volcán por sus 3.718 metros de altura.

Acantilados de Los Gigantes en Tenerife

Esto hace que la isla tenga dos caras totalmente diferenciadas y absolutamente opuestas que solo coinciden en el origen volcánico.

Por lo tanto, nuestro primer consejo es que os mováis por la isla y disfrutéis de las distintas zonas, porque hay paisajes únicos en el mundo.

Reserva ya tu coche de alquiler para tu viaje

De cara a tu viaje, reserva ya tu coche de alquiler, web que te ofrece el mejor precio garantizado y te permite una posible cancelación gratis en la mayoría de los casos.
Aquí puedes reservar tu coche.

Subir en Teleférico al volcán Teide

En la isla de Tenerife vas a ver paisajes volcánicos de tales características y dimensiones que en el mundo solo encuentras paisajes similares en Hawai, el norte de Nueva Zelanda o en Islandia.

El Teide no solo es la montaña más elevada de España, sino también el tercer volcán más grande del mundo desde su base.

Teleférico del Teide en la isla de Tenerife en Canarias

El astronauta Neil Amstrong llegó a decir que en los alrededores del Teide es donde ha visto en la Tierra los paisajes más parecidos los de la Luna.

Lo mejor es alquilar un coche y recorrer todo el parque nacional del Teide, aunque también la opción de apuntarte a algunas de las diversas excursiones al Teide que se te ofrecen.

Por supuesto, es imprescindible subir hasta la zona más alta del volcán, para lo que dispones de un teleférico que te lleva casi hasta la cima, a 3. 550 metros.

No dejéis de ver el vídeo de nuestra visita a Tenerife con unas imágenes espectaculares del Teide y las vistas desde lo alto del volcán.

Si quieres llegar hasta el punto más alto del Teide, al mismo borde del cráter donde verás y olerás las fumarolas de azufre saliendo de el, es necesario pedir un permiso especial con bastante antelación a tu viaje.

Las Cañadas del Teide en la isla de Tenerife en Canarias

Aquí os dejamos en articulo donde os explicamos todo lo que necesitas saber para subir al Teide en teleférico y cómo pedir el permiso especial con el que subir al cráter, porque solo hay 200 plazas al día.

Te avanzamos que normalmente necesitas pedirlo por lo menos con un mes de antelación.

A continuación tienes la información de cómo puedes comprar entradas para subir al Teide.

La Laguna, Patrimonio de la Humanidad en Tenerife

Hay que entender el entorno natural privilegiado en el que encuentra Tenerife, pero por otro lado hay que conocer la historia que se ha desarrollado en la isla, ya que una de sus ciudades marcó el desarrollo urbanístico de América del Sur.

Drago en el centro histórico de La Laguna en Tenerife

La ubicación de Las Canarias en el océano Atlántico hizo que fuera zona de paso obligatoria de las expediciones de Cristobal Colón hacia las Américas.

Y esto hizo que a la hora de configurar las nuevas colonias en el continente americano, buscaran la inspiración en sus vivencias y la ciudad de La Laguna debió marcarles de verdad, y con razón.

Precisamente la configuración de una ciudad con calles perpendiculares, frente a los enrevesados centros históricos de la época medieval, fue lo que hizo que la histórica ciudad de La Laguna fuese distinguida con el título de ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Es un rincón de la isla de gran interés cultural que durante un tiempo fuera capital de la isla.

Ahora, completamente remodelada tras la declaración de la Unesco, es un bellísimo rincón para pasear disfrutando de sus monumentos y coloridas casas palaciegas.

Vistas desde el Teide en Tenerife

¿Dónde ver las estrellas en Tenerife?

Hablar de turismo astronómico para ver estrellas no es habitual en nuestro blog, pero hay sitios en el mundo que son muy especiales.

Al igual que si vas a Noruega, Groenlandia, Islandia o Finlandia quieres ver las auroras boreales, en la isla de Tenerife hay que mirar las estrellas.

Tenerife es considerada una reserva lumínica ya que en la isla reúne las condiciones ideales para ver el firmamento.

Cómo visitar el Observatorio Astronómico del Teide

De hecho, aquí se encuentra el Observatorio Astronómico del Teide o de Izaña, lugar en el que se obtienen algunas de las mejores fotos del espacio en alta resolución que pueden verse a día de hoy.

Observatorio del Teide en Tenerife

Por cierto, el Observatorio de Izaña los puedes visitar, aquí podéis comprar las entradas.

Siendo una isla en pleno Atlántico, no hay apenas ciudades que llenen el cielo de luz  y en el entorno del Teide la contaminación es nula.

Es uno de los grandes espectáculos naturales que tiene la isla, por eso hay gente que se queda a dormir en el albergue del Teide para verlo, o quienes se apuntan a  una excursión para ver las estrellas.

Acantilados y barrancos en Tenerife

Hay que entender que en esta isla los desniveles son impresionantes, muchas de las carreteras tienes desniveles casi imposibles del 25% para salvar las elevaciones que ha producido el volcán en la isla.

Acantilado de Los Gigantes al sur de Tenerife

En muy poca distancia se pasa del nivel del mar a alturas superiores a 3.000 metros.

Acantilados de Los Gigantes y Barranco de Masca en Tenerife

Con ese desnivel, es normal que la isla tenga grandes montañas, profundos acantilados, como los Acantilados de los Gigantes, y grandes barrancos, como el de Masca en el parque de Teno, todos ellos al oeste de la isla.

El plan perfecto para conocer los Acantilados de los Gigantes y el Barranco de Marca es llegar al pueblo de Masca para hacer la ruta a pie que cruza el barranco hasta los acantilados.

Ahí te recogen en un barco desde el que podrás ver los alucinantes paisajes de los acantilados.

Barranco de Masca en Tenerife

La ruta te llevará 3 horas y media, pero hay que decir en su favor que es cuesta abajo y merece muchísimo la pena, son unos barrancos únicos.

Parque de Anaga al norte de Tenerife

Asimismo te quiero destacar los espectaculares paisajes montañosos del noreste de la isla, en el paraje conocido como el Parque Rural de Anaga y la localidad de Taganana, donde podrás circular entre las nubes que a gran velocidad cruzan la montaña.

Lo ideal para verlo, es salir desde la playa de Las Teresitas al norte de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y adentrarse en la montaña hacia el mirador del Bailadero en cuya cumbre hay un albergue donde tomarse un cafecito con unas vistas increíbles.

Mirador hacia La Laguna

Desde ahí coger la carretera TF-12 que va hasta La Laguna, así iras viendo por la carretera unas vistas alucinantes del parque de Anaga.

Te recomendamos el mirador del pico del Ingles y el mirador de Jardina

Pueblos bonitos en Tenerife

En tu viaje de turismo a Tenerife también tendrás la oportunidad de visitar algunos pueblos bonitos que merece la pena conocer.

Rincón de Garachico en Tenerife

Garachico en Tenerife

Ese es el caso de Garachico, al norte de la isla, con un gran patrimonio arquitectónico de los siglos XVI y XVII.

En Garachico te llamará también la atención su paisaje volcánico, resultante de una gran erupción que casi destruye la localidad en el siglo XVIII, y la zona de piscinas naturales El Caletón.

Basílica de la Virgen de Candelaria en Tenerife

Otro sitio a visitar es el pueblo de Candelaria con la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, en la que se venera a la Virgen de la Candelaria, patrona de las Islas Canarias, la cual sigue la tradición de las vírgenes negras.

Basílica de la Candelaria en Tenerife

En este pueblo os tenéis que parar a comer en un restaurante de pescaditos que nos encantó y del que te hablamos más adelante.

Puerto de la Cruz en Tenerife

Por supuesto también debes conocer el Puerto de la Cruz, en el Valle de la Orotava, el tradicional enclave turístico de la zona norte de la isla.

En Santa Cruz de Tenerife os recomendamos visitar el parque marítimo César Manrique y hay otros dos sitios geniales que merece la pena conocer por el norte de la isla.

Ambos en Icod de los Vinos, se trata de la Cueva del Viento, un tubo volcánico, y el Drago milenario, un árbol característico de las islas Canarias de más de 1.000 años de antigüedad.

Mirador del pico Ingles

Tradiciones canarias en Tenerife

Otro gran atractivo de tu visita a Tenerife será descubrir su cultura.

Con  grandes diferencias respecto a la península, Tenerife tiene sus peculiaridades culturales frente a las otras islas Canarias, aunque comparte tradiciones como la del Salto del Pastor Canario.

Cómo es el Salto del Pastor Canario

La práctica del Salto del Pastor se remonta a las comunidades indígenas de las islas, como resultado de su adaptación a lo abrupto de los terrenos volcánicos.

También conocido como Brinco Canario, ya existen referencias escritas del siglo XVI a esta forma de desplazarse por el terreno con la ayuda de una lanza.

Salto del Pastor Canario en Tenerife

En mi reciente viaje a Tenerife ha tenido la oportunidad de ver en el parque de Teno una demostración del Salto del Pastor, tradición que en la actualidad se conserva como una actividad deportiva regulada por una federación que organiza competiciones en las distintas islas.

Esta demostración ha sido realizada por Damián Acosta, y tu mismo la puedes ver en directo durante una de las rutas que por dicho parque de Teno realiza la empresa de actividades turísticas El Cardón, sita en la localidad de Buenavista del Norte.

Complementando este tema, puedes ver este vídeo del Salto del Pastor Canario, en el que Damián, uno de los jóvenes que en la actualidad desarrollan esta actividad tradicional entre los pastores de cabras de las islas, nos muestra las distintas técnicas de desplazamiento con lanzas que terminan con una punta metálica.

Así puedes conocer que hay lanzas desde dos hasta cuatro metros de longitud, que se utilizan para subir o bajar de las rocas, o desplazarse entre ellas.

Puedes ver también imágenes de saltos realizados por el citado Damián con las dos técnicas más habituales, el salto con pies juntos o salto de banda.

Y como curiosidad, que los mayores saltos los da en la actualidad un veterano saltador de Gran Canaria que con una lanza de cuatro metros se desplaza hasta ocho metros.

Silbo canario en La Gomera

También en la provincia de Tenerife, pero en la isla vecina de La Gomera se ha desarrollado un método de comunicación muy particular.

El Silbo Canario propio de la isla de la Gomera se desarrolló por los agricultores y ganaderos para comunicarse entre ellos a grandes distancias a través de las montañas.

Eso si, para conocer el silbo canario deberás cruzar a la isla de La Gomera, lo cual puedes hacer en barcos que parten del puerto de Los Cristianos.

Vistas desde la isla de Tenerife

Gastronomía en Tenerife

En tu viaje a Tenerife no puedes dejar de degustar su gastronomía, con especialidades canarias que van más allá de las famosas papas arrugadas con mojo, que por cierto es uno de nuestros platos favoritos.

A este respecto cabe destacar también el conejo al salmorejo.

Conejo al salmorejo con papas arrugadas con mojo

También recomendamos probar los quesos de la isla, ya que en canarias se producen algunos de los mejores quesos del mundo, que por desgracia es muy difícil consumirlos fuera de las islas porque las producciones son muy pequeñas.

Por supuesto al ser una isla, el pescado siempre es protagonista en muchos de los platos.

Uno de los sitios de pescado frito que más nos gustó fue La Cofradia de Pescadores en pleno puerto de la localidad de Candelaria.

Buen precio, comida fresca y muy buena, es el típico sitio pequeño de puerto nada sofisticado, barato, pero con una calidad inmejorable, del mar directamente al plato.

Rincón del Barranco de Masca en Tenerife

Vinos de Tenerife

¿Y sabes que en Tenerife también puedes degustar vino autóctono?

Efectivamente, en los últimos años se ha reactivado la producción de vino en la isla gracias a la plantación de nuevas variedades de uvas.

Eso si, en las grandes zonas turísticas de la isla dispondrás de una gran oferta de gastronomía internacional de buen nivel.

Playa de Las Teresitas cerca de Santa Cruz en Tenerife

Sol y playa en Tenerife

Y finalmente no podemos obviar que en la isla de Tenerife puede disfrutar del típico turismo de sol y playa.

Eso si, las playas de Tenerife son originalmente de arena de color negro por su origen de roca volcánica, si bien las mas grandes tienen arena transportada artificialmente, como la playa de las Américas en el sur, o la playa de las Teresitas junto a la capital de la isla, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

En las zonas de playas del sur son habituales los grandes hoteles y resorts vacacionales, como en el que nos alojamos en nuestro último viaje, el Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife situado muy cerca del aeropuerto Sur, en la localidad de Costa Adeje.

Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife

Es un hotel muy singular, porque no sabíamos que existiese un hotel que a su vez es verdadero un museo de la historia de la música.

Ahora bien, si solo buscas sol y playas de dunas y arena fina, te apunto que debes ir a las islas más al este del archipiélago canario, en concreto Fuerteventura o Gran Canaria ya que por su ubicación reciben arena que traen las vientos procedente del desierto del Sahara.

Such a price and such a fussiness !

The journey to the foreign country is bound up with new orders and fresh hostilities. Alas, there is nothing more to say about the country, like its culture. We would like to show you the spirit of Spain, its color, igniting atmosphere and temperament for the help of dances and music. Watch the evening fires of the seaside town of Lloret de Mar and the joyful embankment, the stars of the moon, emotional Spanish language and the sound of salsi. Spain is more different – you can travel with it from hut to hut, but at the same time, you can constantly see new landscapes and absolutely dissimilar places. Try everything and giblets: Barcelona with its miraculous architecture, Madrid with its Puerta del Sol square, Plaza Mayor and de la Villa, the Royal Palace and Sabatina gardens, Valencia with the famous Lladro factory. Just indescribable pojdnannya i gra contrasts! And the beaches? For example, the Costa Dorada can be protected by the miraculously soft white coast of the sea and long beaches, which are a great place to start with children. The Costa Brava will please the right connoisseurs with its rich excursion program. In Spain, life is vibrating, like on the outskirts of coastal places, so in Barcelona itself! You yourself in this country you can first work out your first “pas”, so that we can dance for many nights, enjoying the rhythm of music and sing in the magic of dance.

Antonio Gaudi – great and beautiful!

One of the geniuses of the 19th and 20th centuries, Antonio Gaudí, is the culprit of the enchanting Spanish mix. One of the ideas of the fatherland is the place Reus, which is not far from Tarragoni, and the other creative “master” is Barcelona, ​​which is often called Gaudi’s place. The deyakі so and vvazhayut that the fantasy of little Antonio was formed in the wake of his mission. Started exercising in everyday life on the soft and pliable golden sand of the Costa Dorada, absorbing the enchanting images of Barcelona. The childishness of Gaudi passed through the white of the sea, and the defeat of the first architectural experiments of the wines carried through all life. To this, all the yogo marvels predict locks from the sand. Like Gaudi’s mitten, go beyond the style, forever moving into the world of crooked surfaces, in order to form a vlasny, bezmilkovo recognition of handwriting. You know Gaudi’s houses without prompting. Do not hesitate to send your own leaflets from the images of various mosaics, as if they will sparkle with their bright and barvy glimpses to bring the most gloomy evenings.

Reference Spain. Help everyone!

Spain is famous for its miraculous monuments of antiquity and culture, among them the monastery of St. Pilar (Zaragoza), the monastic ensemble of Torreciudad (Huesca), Montserrat (Barcelona). Don’t deprive anyone of the Dali Theatre-Museum, the houses of Gaudi, the museums of genius Picasso and Miro, the Sagrada Familia toshcho. It is unrealistic to describe all the important reminders of the country – they need to be worked up! The selection of excursions is superbly great – to lay everything according to your interests. You can see rose parks or grandiose theatrical shows. For an active excursion program, it is better to fly to Barcelona and Madrid. But in any resort town you can look at the old architecture or enjoy the flamenco show under the inexpressible rhythms of the castanets. We offer more than 30 sightseeing tours in Spain for 4 to 15 days.

The Costa Brava charms the quiet, who loves the hostile landscapes – parts, similar to mountainous teeth, the rocks here are drawn with bays in the form of peaks and small quiet beaches.

Tenerife (Tenerife) is the largest of the islands of the Canary archipelago. The capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Area – 2034 sq. km. Population – 908 555 people. The north of the island is suitable for a quiet, secluded holiday. The south of Tenerife is a densely populated resort area.

Location

Tenerife is located in the Atlantic Ocean, 300 km. from Africa, at a distance of about 1300 km. from the Iberian Peninsula and occupies a central position between the islands of Gran Canaria, La Gomera and Palma.

Tenerife is of volcanic origin, the highest point is Mount Teide (3718 m), the top of which is always covered with a snow cap. Therefore, the Guanches (local natives) called the island “White Mountain” or
Tenerife.

The terrain is uneven – extensive valleys adorn the Anagana mountain range in the northeast and the Tenon volcanic massif in the northwest.

Flora is diverse – green valleys, gorges, forest slopes, laurel fields; about 1200 species of plants grow here, many of which are unique. Tenerife is home to 109 animal species, 18 of which can only be seen here. Poisonous snakes and insects are completely absent.

The climate of Tenerife is subtropical, mild and temperate. There is practically no noticeable difference between winter and summer temperatures, as if spring on the island lasts a whole year.
The average annual air temperature in the summer months is +25°C, in the winter season +18°C.
The variety of landscapes contributes to the formation of microclimates (there are 28 of them on the island!), the contrast is most noticeable in the winter months. At this time, you can sunbathe on the beach, admiring the snow-white mountain peaks, and on the opposite side of the island it will rain. Weather conditions are also influenced by winds, mainly trade winds. They bring heavy rains and pleasant coolness. Altitude determines the amount of precipitation: Punta de la Rasca has an annual average of 95 mm, and in the area of ​​​​the Tenerife North airport – 661 mm.

Average annual water temperature: +21°C. More about
the weather is not Tenerife.

Seasonality of rest

Given the favorable climate, the minimum amplitude of the average annual air and water temperatures, it can be argued that it is comfortable to be in Tenerife at any time.

Tourism and leisure

Tenerife offers a wide range of entertainment for every taste: sightseeing bus and jeep safari tours, boat trips, the opportunity to fly on a parachute, ride a catamaran or jet ski, visit a water amusement park or a camel park with subsequent a walk on these animals, horses or donkeys. Sports center “Tenisur” has high-quality courts, offers rental of sports equipment, instructor services.

The nightlife in the resort areas of Playa de Las Americas and Los Christianos: discos, clubs and bars – a great opportunity to have fun. The castle of San Miguel hosts a medieval jousting tournament, and offers dishes of national cuisine prepared according to old recipes. At the Exit Palace, Spanish ballet companies dance Flamenco.

Holidays in Tenerife require a Spanish visa.
