The best-value holiday destinations for autumn and winter, with beach hotels from £50 and a beer for £1

Short haul

Portugal

October temperatures: 23°C high/15°C low
Portugal is one of the least expensive countries in western Europe, where the cost of living is significantly lower – as much as 30 per cent less – than the UK. In the Algarve, temperatures are comfortably warm into winter and lively resorts such as Albufeira will have mellowed after a busy summer season. Head west towards Sagres or east to Tavira and things get quieter still. According to the Post Office’s most recent Family Holiday Report, the Algarve represents the best value for money across 13 Eurozone destinations. Self-catering is the sweet spot here – supermarket prices are generally slightly cheaper than the UK, while mains at restaurants will usually give you change from €10 (£8. 70).

Thomas Cook has a week’s self-catering at the Santa Eulália Hotel Apartamento & Spa from £417pp, with Manchester flights on 23 October

Madeira

October temperatures: 25°C/19°C
This Atlantic island is typically a little more expensive to get to than Continental destinations, but prices on the ground are comparable to those on mainland Portugal, sometimes cheaper. For that little bit extra, you get warmer weather, lush landscapes and a great launch point for whale- and dolphin-spotting. Head up into the mountains for mouthwatering espetada kebabs at rustic restaurants that cost around €11 and will fill you up for the rest of the day, providing energy for hiking in the hills.
Lastminute.com has a week’s B&B at the Pestana Carlton Madeira Premium Ocean Resort from £679pp, with Luton flights on 1 October.

Malta

October temperatures: 25°C/17°C
Malta can be expensive during the summer but prices tumble during the shoulder seasons, with savings of up to 75 per cent. Basing yourself in quieter coastal villages such as Mellieha in the north – from where you can hike to Ghadira Nature Reserve or enjoy the golden sandy beaches – can often mean cheaper accommodation and restaurants, too.

Greece

October temperatures: 23C°/15°C
The Greek capital was recently revealed as Europe’s cheapest city-break destination, according to the Post Office’s annual City Costs Barometer report. With the price of a dozen typical holiday purchases and two nights at a three-star hotel included, the study found that the average bill for a two-night city break in Athens was £207.18. Hiking up to the ruins of the Acropolis, visiting the interactive museum and lounging on one of the 13 sandy beaches of the Athens Riviera will easily fill a weekend. Or, for a low-cost Saturday morning activity, trawl one of the local markets.
Olympic Holidays offers a seven-night holiday at the Marathon Beach Resort in Nea Makri on the Athens Riviera from £556pp with Gatwick flights on 12 October

Mid-haul

Morocco

October temperatures: 28°C/15°C
With a favourable exchange rate and general low cost of living, Morocco can be very budget-friendly – but only if you get out of the big resorts and international hotels. Food in casual cafes can cost less than £5 a meal, although expect to pay above the odds for alcohol.
Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test. Ryanair, Wizz and easyJet all fly to Marrakech from as little as £20 one way, while local guest houses, such as Hotel Riad Todos, start from less than £100 a night

Tenerife

October temperatures: 26°C/20°C
Tenerife is generally considered the cheapest of the Canaries thanks to a plentiful supply of flights and hotel rooms. In October, for example, flights start from £26 one way. Although Gran Canaria is only a smidge more at £28 one way, there are fewer activities to choose from. Costs on the ground are low, too. Beers cost as little as €1.50 (£1.30), and many restaurants offer a menú del día for €10 (£8.70) or less, which usually includes a starter, main and drink. The island’s star attraction – Teide National Park – is also free to visit.

Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test. Tui has a week’s self-catering at Tui Suneo Tamaimo Tropical resort in Puerto de Santiago from £355pp, with East Midlands flights on 17 October

Turkey

October temperatures: 27°C/14°C
Antalya is one of the best-value destinations for all-inclusive holidays at four- or five-star hotels, making it a great option for half term, although food in local restaurants is affordable and delicious. Car hire and taxis are both expensive but local buses are regular and cheap – useful for exploring the many glorious beaches along the Turquoise Coast, and ancient landmarks such as Hadrian’s Gate and the ruined cities of Aspendos, Olympos and Phaselis. Southall Travel offers six nights’ all-inclusive at the Granada Luxury Okurcalar from £759pp,with Heathrow flights on 23 October

Egypt

October temperatures: 32°C/24°C
A decent meal out will rarely cost more than £10pp in the popular Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, but drinks can be expensive, especially imported spirits. For divers, this is one of the cheapest and best resorts, but it’s also a great place to enjoy the beaches, easy snorkelling, and trips up into Mount Sinai. Remember that when looking for souvenirs, some gentle haggling is expected.
Padi offers six nights’ all-inclusive at the Reef Oasis Beach Resort, with eight boat dives, from £1,338pp excluding flights

Tunisia

November temperatures: 21°C/14°C
A fly-and-flop destination with busy souks and impressive mosques, Sousse, on the east coast of Tunisia, is very budget-friendly. Britons benefit from a favourable exchange rate but the cost of living is lower, too; a meal out for two might cost as little as £15, while beers are around £1.
Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test. Sunshine.co.uk offers a seven-night all-inclusive break at the Occidental Sousse Marhaba from £224pp, with Gatwick flights on 28 November

UAE

November temperatures: 32°C/17°C
Often overlooked by visitors who flock to the Emirates of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Ras Al-Khaimah has built its recent tourism reputation on adventure (it’s home to the world’s longest zipline and the highest peak in the UAE, Jebel Jais). Its lack of obvious glitz also means prices tend to be much more competitive. Drinks are expensive, but food can be very reasonable if you look beyond the big hotels – meals at restaurants can start from as little as £2. However, the World Cup in Qatar will push up air fares to the Gulf between 20 November and 18 December.
Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test. Emirates Holidays has five nights’ B&B at the Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island from £836pp with Gatwick flights on 5 October. Two under-12s stay and eat free until 31 October

Long haul

South Africa

November temperatures: 25°C/15°C
The exchange rate is the big advantage for Britons in South Africa right now – it’s currently 20 rand to the pound (a decade ago it was hovering between 10 and 15). It means that for casual dining, you won’t need more than £10, and it’s even cheaper if you go for street food. Flights are always expensive but accommodation can be reasonable.
Virgin Atlantic is restarting its seasonal direct flights to Cape Town in November; Lufthansa has flights via Munich from £435pp in November

Thailand

November temperatures: 32°C/24°C
An essential stop on the backpacker route for a reason, this culture and beach big-hitter is very budget-friendly. Street food in Bangkok costs as little as £1 and most temples are free to visit. Some tuk-tuk drivers will even offer free city tours in exchange for visiting one of their affiliated shops. In the north, Chiang Mai, home to hundreds of temples, makes a popular twin-centre break – while heading south to the beaches and islands is an undeniable draw. Bus travel is cheap, and there is a good supply of budget accommodation; aim for resorts such as Ao Nang or the island of Koh Lanta Yai.
Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test. Intrepid’s eight-day Explore Northern Thailand group tour starts at £668pp excluding flights

India

November temperatures: 34°C/21°C
You can go as budget-friendly or as luxurious as you want in India. For an average restaurant, expect to pay around £10pp, while street food is even more affordable. Taxis are cheap, too, though be prepared for traffic in urban areas. A short walk from the luxurious Taj hotel in Mumbai is the stylish Abode Bombay, which has doubles from R3,500 (£40), while there are elegant heritage guest houses dotted all over coastal areas such as Goa, Kerala and Pondicherry, with rooms costing around £50.
Visitors must show proof of Covid vaccination or a negative test and fill out an Air Suvidha Declaration Form.

Mexico

November temperatures: 29°C/21°C
Flights to Mexico can be expensive, but once you’ve landed, prices are very reasonable. Budget around £15pp for a meal at a mid-range restaurant and £2 for a beer. Public transport and taxis are both cheap, so venturing outside the resorts should be easy. Aim for the lagoon of Bacalar as an alternative to chi-chi Tulum – rustic guesthouses such as Los Aluxes have rooms from £70. South of busy Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa is a quiet beach retreat where guesthouses cost around £50.
Responsible Travel offers a 12-day tour featuring Mexico City and Yucatan from £1,940pp excluding flights

Vietnam

November temperatures: 26°C/23°C
Vietnam has a low cost of living compared to the UK and the pound will stretch far when dining out. An average meal costs around £4 in the big cities. A seven-night stay in a five-star hotel in Hanoi at the end of October starts from around £470, compared to more than £1,000 in Singapore, which enjoys similar temperatures at this time of year. Group tours can be a cost-effective way to combine some of the country’s major sites. In 10 days you could see the pagodas, markets and Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City, cross part of the Truong Son Mountains via the scenic Hai Van Pass and cruise Halong Bay, with its impressive limestone karsts.
A 10-day Simply Vietnam tour including accommodation, transfers and some meals starts at £540pp, excluding flights. Departs 23 October

As officials held ceremonies Monday, Sept. 19, 2022 to commemorate the first anniversary of the start of what was one of the most televised volcanic eruptions of the century in Europe, the Spanish island located in the Canary Islands archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa is not the same, geologically, economically, or socially.

MADRID – A six-kilometer black lava scar crossing Spain’s La Palma island remains as testimony to the three-month-long volcano eruption that may have left no casualties but did wreak havoc in the lives of many.

As officials held ceremonies Monday to commemorate the first anniversary of the start of what was one of the most televised volcanic eruptions of the century in Europe, the Spanish island located in the Canary Islands archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa is not the same, geologically, economically, or socially.

Under the thick molten rock slab — still slowly cooling down from the initial 1,140 degrees Celsius (2,084 degrees Fahrenheit) — some 3,000 buildings were buried along with many banana plantations, roads and irrigation systems.

Alongside agriculture, tourism is critical to the island’s economy. But half of the 8,000 registered places of accommodation remain closed due to the presence of poisonous gases — the same reason that keeps around 170 local people still living in hotel rooms.

The former touristic spot of Puerto Naos is described by local newspapers as a ghost town. The lava didn’t reach the town, but the high concentration of CO2 gases forced the evacuation of its 1,000 residents. Most are staying with relatives, and all continue to wonder when they will be allowed back home.

La Palma — population 84,790 — has become the focus of many politicians and dignitaries. Cabinet members including Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez have visited the island 60 times, mostly to announce new aid packages. Queen Letizia recently chose La Palma for her yearly visit to a school at the beginning of the academic year.

Public funds to aid reconstruction totaling 566 million euros ($564 million) have been delivered by the government.

Yet a grouping of those affected by the volcano plans to mark the anniversary Monday with a protest over what they consider bad management of the funds.

Others resent the fact that when the roar of the volcano died down after 85 days, solidarity disappeared.

“Politicians don’t really care about us,” said banana farmer Juan Carlos Rodríguez. He said the subsidies were insufficient.

However, some entrepreneurs are finding ways to reshape their businesses and exploit the eruption.

AstroLaPalma used to offer nighttime stargazing programs under the clear Canary Island sky. Now, owner Ana García guides amazed visitors through the volcanic ashes.

The volcano didn’t really have a name before it erupted, though it was popularly known as Cumbre Vieja — the name of the surrounding national park. This summer, island residents voted to call it Tajogaite — the name of the area in the ancient Guanche language.

It’s the first year of a new era for the volcanic islands, and locals are also determined to thrive.

Just two months ago, the islanders were able to claim a minor victory over the volcano with the opening of a new road built over the lava rock to connect the sides of the Aridane Valley that was split in two by the eruption.

The road takes two hours off the drive to reach isolated houses, shortens kids’ school routes and allows access to the surviving banana plantations in the valley.

The best ways to see Norfolk’s seals when pupping season begins in October

In the summer, the North Norfolk coast is a holiday haven with its gorgeous sandy beaches and quaint little villages. But in the autumn and winter, the beaches are overtaken by grey seals as the pupping season begins.

Norfolk has a huge population of pinnipeds and many teams of dedicated people do their bit to make sure they remain safe on the beaches. It’s great fun to see these adorable fluffy pups flopping themselves around on the shore, but it’s best to do so from a safe distance as the mothers can be quite aggressive.

Blakeney Point, Morston and Cley-next-the-Sea are some of the best places to spot the young animals. In Blakeney, the seals gather at the end of the spit. This is where the Grey Seals will have their pups from October/November. Blakeney Spit and the nature reserve are an extremely valuable space to the colony at this time of the year.

Before you visit these adorable fluffy babies this autumn it’s important to be aware of the rules that are in place to protect them and you. All visitors who come to see the seals must keep at a safe distance from them and the beach is patrolled to enforce this.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

Book a ferry trip

The young pups are extremely cute

The best way to get a good view of the seals on Blakeney Point, is to book a trip on one of the locally operated ferry trips departing from Morston Quay. There are four seal trip options available – Beans Boat Trips, Bishop’s Boats, Ptarmigan Seal Trips and Temples Seal Trips.

They each have varying prices and you will need to read about each one to figure out which service is best for you. You can plan your seal-watching trip safely here.

There’s a lot to see whilst on your trip so don’t forget to bring your camera to capture those special moments. You’ll get up close and have great views of the seals but you may wish to bring binoculars if you have them.

Seal watch from the shore

During pupping season, beaches like Horsey are supervised by wardens who stop visitors from going on to the beach. They protect the vulnerable seals and their young from visitors or dogs who might get too close.

If you want to watch them from the shore, you will have to go onto the cliffs where there are designated watching areas. Fence lines are erected on Blakeney Point to protect not just the seals but yourself. Never cross a fence line and follow all signs you come across.

The walk to the seal viewing area is three miles on soft shingle with no facilities. During autumn and winter, it’s best to leave dogs at home, but if you must bring your four-legged friend with you then they must be kept on a short lead (a metre) at all times. Bring some binoculars to properly admire these magnificent animals.

Keeping a safe distance

Seals are wild animals and can be extremely vicious. A bite would require immediate hospital treatment and so it’s best for your safety, to keep your distance.

Harassing or disturbing the seals can also be dangerous for them as they usually come on shore to rest when tired, so being scared into the sea can be very dangerous for them. Their young are also very vulnerable when they are first born.

If you go to Blakeney, you MUST stand at a safe distance from the animals.

Protecting the seal pups

A seal pup on its own may not necessarily mean it has been abandoned or is in distress. Pups are occasionally left by their mothers for short periods of time, which is perfectly normal.

It is also important to be aware that up until the pups are three weeks of age they are covered in white downy fur and are not ready to swim, so please do not try to encourage them into the water. Pups molt their white fur at around three weeks, which can leave them looking a bit patchy, but again, this is perfectly normal.

However, if you’re worried about a seal pup then you can call the National Trust team during office hours on 01263 740241. Outside of these hours you can contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999. Do not attempt to move the pup yourself.

Where to go to the sea in October

Reading 10 min Views 113 Published by 01. 11.2021
Updated 11/01/2021

Many consider autumn to be a sad time of the year when you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and not leave the house. But this time can be spent differently – not to indulge in the blues, but to snatch another piece of summer and go on vacation. October is a kind of milestone for travel planning. In some countries, the swimming season is already closing, in others, on the contrary, the velvet season is in full swing, and in others, the rainy season ends, and sunny and hot weather sets in. It is in October that you can properly relax and enjoy the sun before a long and cold winter.

Cheap flights

Also in October, in many countries popular with tourists, the season changes – if it comes to an end in the Mediterranean Sea, then in Asia it is only gaining momentum. A key feature of both regions is the establishment of the most comfortable temperature. If the heat subsided on the Mediterranean coast, then in Asian countries, on the contrary, it is still ahead. And now you can go on a trip and enjoy the warm and refreshing sea and the gentle, but not burning to the ground sun.

October is an intermediate month after a warm summer and before a long cold winter. At this time, it is still not so cold, there are often positive temperatures, somewhere else the grass is green and there is no snow. Therefore, during a trip in October, the process of acclimatization for people is milder than during a trip to the sea in winter. The process of acclimatization is especially difficult for children. At this time of the year there is no big temperature difference outside the window, you do not need to take clothes with you for several seasons at once.

Holidays with children

Many people plan their vacation for the autumn holidays, which fall on the last week of October. But when planning a vacation with children, you need to take into account the climate and weather at each resort. It’s no longer possible to swim somewhere (unless the family is engaged in hardening). In other countries, instead of a beach holiday, you can go on excursions to local attractions, but not all children like this type of holiday. There are also countries where an entertainment program is organized for children, and then parents can combine a beach holiday with hiking and excursions for themselves.

The best countries for sea holidays in October

There are several locations for a beach holiday in October:

• Resorts on the Mediterranean Sea
• Africa
• Asia
• Atlantic

The countries of the Mediterranean Sea (Tunisia, Turkey, southern Spain) are the most popular. But it is better to plan a trip for the first half of the month, before it gets colder. For lovers of sweltering heat, the countries of Africa, Asia and the Atlantic are suitable. However, the flight there is quite long, and the price will be more expensive.

It’s definitely not worth going to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory or Abkhazia. In October, the weather is warm only for walking, but swimming and sunbathing will not work until next year.

Turkey

All-inclusive holidays in Turkey are as good as in the peak tourist season. Among the advantages, one can note a decrease in the number of tourists, which is why the resorts have a lot more free sunbeds. At this time of the year, the sun no longer sizzles, but still warms. You can swim, sunbathe and go on excursions, the prices for them are also reduced. Of the obvious disadvantages, it can be noted that at this time it starts to get dark early – after 18:00 it is already completely dark on the street. And if during the day the air warms up to 25-27 degrees, and the water – to an average of 24-25 degrees, then after sunset it already becomes cool – at night the temperature can drop to +15.

It is better to fly to Turkey in October through a tour operator, as there is an opportunity to catch great deals at a big discount. For example, a package tour for two in a five-star all-inclusive hotel can cost 2-3 times cheaper than a similar package during the peak tourist season.

You should also carefully choose a resort – not all regions of Turkey are still warm in October. You need to choose those that are located on the Mediterranean coast. These are such resorts as Antalya, Side, Belek, Antalya and Kemer. But even there the weather can vary. For example, Kemer is located in a mountainous area, and the weather there is cooler by an average of 5 degrees. Therefore, the best options are Alanya and Side (these resorts are also suitable for families with children).

But you will have to forget about resorts on the Aegean, Marmara or Black Sea – there in October the water temperature does not rise above 21 degrees, and it is quite cool during the day – about 22-23 degrees Celsius. This is a comfortable temperature for excursions, but not for a beach holiday.

Egypt

Another popular tourist destination are resorts in Egypt. In October, the summer heat begins to gradually subside, and winter is still far away. It is better to go here for those who love a lot of sun and tolerate heat well. Even in October, the air temperature can reach 30 degrees. And only by the end of the month it drops to 28 degrees, which is also quite hot. Therefore, it is better for families with children and the elderly to go to Egypt at the end of the month, when a comfortable temperature is established.

The water temperature, comfortable for swimming, is about 27 degrees. At this time of the year, diving, snorkeling and water skiing are actively practiced here. There are 2 most famous beach resorts in Egypt – Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh.

Hurghada is distinguished by wide sandy beaches, families with children often come here. Rest here is quite measured and calm. But diving enthusiasts usually go to Sharm el-Sheikh, where there are so many beautiful corals and marine reptiles. But both in Hurghada and in Sharm el-Sheikh, the weather is hot. October in Egypt is an ideal month for holidays. The unbearable heat has already subsided, and starting from November, you can run into strong winds that will ruin any vacation.

Greece

In October in Greece you can find a holiday for every taste – this is a favorite beach holiday, and entertainment, and excursions. Usually tourists go to Rhodes and Crete. But it is best to relax in Greece in the first half of October. The second half of the month is characterized by prolonged rains. The water temperature is still warm, about 23 degrees, and the air in Greece at this time of the year warms up to 25 degrees.

Greece is distinguished not only by its beach holidays. There are ancient sights literally at every step. Therefore, it is best to combine a beach holiday with the study of the local territory. In Greece, you can rent a car and organize excursions for yourself, as groups are not always recruited due to a decrease in the number of tourists. Therefore, holidays in Greece are more suitable for active people who are ready not only to sunbathe and swim, but also to learn new things.

In Crete, you can choose different resorts: party Malia and Hersonissos, resorts for lovers Chania and Rethymnon, cozy and calm Agia Nikolaos and Bali – especially in October, when sincere locals are happy to every tourist, because there are not so many of them in the resorts of Greece . On Rhodes, preference is given to the east coast – Faliraki, Lindos, the city of Rhodes itself.

Cyprus

You can travel to Cyprus almost all year round, there are about 300 sunny days a year, and just in October there is a decrease in the tourist flow. But the temperature of water and air is set within comfortable values ​​- 25-26 degrees Celsius. What does this temperature have been holding since the beginning of autumn, and the weather conditions are somewhat similar to Turkey. At this time of the year, they still bathe and sunbathe with might and main, without fear of getting sunburn.

In Cyprus, vacationers go to beaches such as Paphos, Famagusta and Larnaca. In total, there are more than 90 beaches in Cyprus, many of which are great for children. The beaches here are sandy, with a long gentle descent into the water. A nice bonus will be the numerous music festivals and events that take place throughout the island at this time of the year.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are often called heaven on earth. It’s warm, sunny and beautiful. You can swim and sunbathe in October at least around the clock. Also, this resort is distinguished by excellent service, comfortable conditions and excursions for every taste. However, the cost of rest here is much higher than in other countries. Therefore, only wealthy people can afford to relax in the Canary Islands.

Here beach holidays are successfully combined with active pastime. You can visit historical museums, a botanical garden, and for fans of extreme sports, camel safaris or boat trips on transparent-bottomed catamarans are organized, where you can see amazing marine life. In the northern part of the islands there are a lot of plants, trees, in the southern part it is deserted. The peak of the tourist season just falls on October, and there are a lot of tourists here.

United Arab Emirates

Another country where you can go in autumn for warmth and sun is the United Arab Emirates. In a short time, this unique country has turned from a desert into a luxurious resort, which many dream of visiting. It was there that the world’s largest amusement park and its own Louvre were built. There you can practice such an unusual sport as snowboarding in the desert.

But most of all the hotels amaze the imagination – they are all unique and inimitable, and each of them resembles a separate kingdom. People come here for the sun and warmth, as in October the weather here is excellent for a beach holiday. The average temperature of water and air remains at the level of 30-31 degrees. The most popular resorts are Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Sharjah. But it is still cooler in Fujairah, so many people come here for a refreshing coolness.

Mexico

Mexico is a rather expensive country in terms of tourism, and not everyone can afford such a long flight and vacation here. For a beach holiday, such resorts as Boca del Rio, Masaltan, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Escondtio, Puerto Vallarta are suitable. But October is not the best time to visit. In October, the weather is unpredictable, in a matter of minutes the sun can disappear, and the sky will be covered with thunderclouds – the precursors of a hurricane.

This is especially true for the Caribbean region – there are often prolonged rains. In the capital of Mexico, the sky is almost always cloudy, and in October it becomes already cool – no more than 23 degrees Celsius during the day, and only 10 at night. For a beach holiday, you can go to Acapulco, Riviera Maya or Canca. It is quite warm there (+33 degrees), but there are often heavy rainfalls.

Maldives

The temperature of water and air in the Maldives is almost the same all year round – the water warms up to 29 degrees, and the air fluctuates between 28-32 degrees. However, heavy tropical rains are possible in October. But it is still possible to plan a beach holiday – although the rains are frequent and strong, they do not last more than an hour.

The Maldives stands out for its excellent service and high level of customer focus. Holidays in the Maldives are organized on the principle of “one island – one hotel”. Here you can enjoy privacy and tranquility. Moreover, only amazing local nature remains from entertainment. Romantic trips are often arranged in the Maldives, this is a great place to relax together. But families with children will be bored here – after all, there are no entertainments and excursions around. Only the sun, the sea and your own island.

Results

Autumn is a time of spleen and sadness after a fast-flying summer. But today everyone has a chance to extend the warm days a little and go on a trip. If at the peak of the season popular resorts are not affordable for everyone, then in the fall you can arrange a long-awaited vacation at an attractive price. In October, a large number of profitable offers appear to arrange your own personal summer.

Where is the warmest place in Spain in October.

Weather in Spain in October

0

Every year the tourist organization of Russia publishes reports on where and how our tourists go abroad. And the Kingdom of Spain is constantly in the TOP five most visited countries by Russians. This is not surprising: there are gorgeous beaches, modern hotels, a lot of entertainment and, perhaps, the best opportunities for recreation. Plus, the beach season lasts quite a long time, and tourists can come here even in the middle of autumn. Although not many will dare to say that the weather in Spain in October 2020 is beachy. If the air is even more or less warm, then the water temperature in the sea is declining and few people dare to go in and swim.

What are the benefits of a holiday in Spain? Because it is varied. You can go on holiday to the islands. The best are Mallorca or Tenerife. You can relax on the seashore in the resorts of continental Spain. One of the best resorts in Barcelona and Costa Brava. And if you are not interested in beaches and the sea, then go to Madrid or Seville – these cities are beautiful and there are many attractions. But no matter where you are going, the weather in the country in autumn will be almost the same everywhere.

As we have already mentioned, Mallorca is one of the most beautiful islands in Spain. October is mostly sunny. Cloud cover will be no more than 25%, and rainy days no more than 1-2 per month. The amount of precipitation is about 30 millimeters. This means that the rains may be short and not over the entire island.
During the day, the air warms up to +25, and at night it cools down to +18. The water in the sea off the coast of Mallorca is +23 warm, but still not everyone is at risk of swimming here.

It is warmest in mid-autumn in the resort of Santa Cruz. In the daytime, the air easily warms up to +26, and drops to +20 degrees at night. The water temperature in the sea is not higher than 23 degrees with a plus sign. blowing winds can cause strong waves on the sea, which often develop into a storm. Therefore, to swim or not is up to you.

In Barcelona, ​​beloved by all, it is already cool in October, especially when compared with other southern resorts. During the day it is not higher than +20, and at night it is only +12 +15. The sea has already cooled down to 20 degrees, and you definitely can’t swim here. Although some tourists, warmed up by alcoholic drinks, go into the water and enjoy the sea. Not every day in Barcelona will be sunny. According to statistics, it rains here for 3-4 days. And if you add short-term precipitation to them, it turns out that one third of the month is rainy. For the entire month, 46 millimeters of precipitation can fall.

More and more tourists choose Malaga as their holiday destination. The second month of autumn is not the best for a trip here for a beach holiday. If it is still sunny and +23 degrees during the day, then no higher than +15 degrees is expected at night. The sea has cooled down to +20, and the amount of rain exceeds four days. So it is better to come to this resort in the summer.

October in Russia is often a wet and cold month. It is not surprising that many of our compatriots, whose vacation falls in the middle of autumn, try to spend it away from their homeland. Where it is still sunny and warm. One such country is Spain. In this article, the Tour-Calendar offers to find out what kind of vacation to expect when going there in a given period of time.

Weather in Spain in October

With the onset of October, a soft velvety autumn sets in in the Spanish provinces. A specific weather forecast depends on which region is directly in question – the heterogeneity of the landscape and the variety of climatic zones affect. The coolest regions include the northern and northwestern parts of the mainland, where the influence of the Atlantic prevails. October brings here a significant decrease in average daily temperatures: in the first half of the month, during the day, the air warms up to +23 ° C, and after the 15th, when the sky is increasingly covered with a dense cover of clouds and it rains, the street thermometer shows only +20 .. +21°C. The probability of finding sunny days is greater at the beginning of the month. Therefore, if you want to sunbathe on the coast, for example, on the beach of Barcelona, ​​it is better not to delay your trip. According to weather forecasters, precipitation takes about a third of the month, so an umbrella is an integral part of a travel bag. For evening walks, you will need closed shoes, as well as warm and practical outerwear, because after sunset the environment quickly loses the accumulated heat, cooling down to +13..+16°C.

Closer to November, these figures may be 1-2 degrees less. In the central part of the country, autumn things are also relevant. For example, in Madrid in the evenings the temperature drops to +11..+14°C. The feeling of cold in the capital is intensified by rising chilly winds and slush. The latter is due to an increase in the amount of precipitation. The southern and southeastern regions are also gradually cooling down, but the number of clear sunny days there is much greater, so a swimsuit may come in handy. By noon, the air warms up to approximately +23..+25°C. When the sun sets below the horizon, it becomes chilly and uncomfortable. At night, no higher than +15°C should be expected. The only exception is Seville, where at night meteorologists register from +16°C to +18°C. Wonderful weather persists in Ibiza and the Canaries. The only thing is that the number of rainy days is slightly higher in the party resort of Balearic. During the daytime – about +23..+26°C. In the evenings, mostly +15..+17°C, in Tenerife and Gran Canaria – about +17..+19°C

What to do in Spain in October?

October in Spain is a fertile time. The heat finally subsides, and with it the influx of vacationers. Perhaps this is one of the most successful periods for a thorough trip around the country. The absence of tourist crowds contributes to the unhindered immersion in the Spanish flavor and the leisurely study of local traditions. And incendiary holidays and warm “beach” days only add rich colors to the rest and make it truly memorable.

Beach holidays

October tours to Spain give an excellent opportunity to turn back the clock and catch the last days of the outgoing summer. The most win-win option for those who pursue the goal of a beach holiday is the island of “eternal spring” and a bright representative of the Balearic archipelago – world-famous Ibiza. The beach season on these islands is still open. In the first week of the month, coastal waters keep the temperature at +23°C. As a rule, by the end of October they steadily cool down to +22°C.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, vacationers have the opportunity to practice windsurfing (there are a lot of specialized schools), scuba diving and parasailing. On the Atlantic coast of the continental part of the country, dipping will not bring the desired pleasure, since the water is already pretty invigorating – about +18.5..+19°C. And the frequent storms often prevent this. As for the mainland southern and southwestern resorts, it is very difficult to say anything concrete about them. Judging solely by the water temperature – +19..+21°C, theoretically swims are possible.

However, one should not forget about the changeable nature of the weather, which sometimes brings not the most pleasant surprises in the form of squally winds and high waves. So here’s how lucky.

Entertainment and excursions

In October, excursion activities are activated with a vengeance. At this time, the most optimal weather reigns – it is no longer hot in transport, and thirst will not torment. What to include in your educational program? Definitely Barcelona with the ingenious architectural creations of Gaudí

And Madrid with pompous royal palaces, richest museums and spacious green parks. Equally noteworthy is Seville, framed by picturesque mountains, replete with ancient churches, Moorish mosques and Gothic cathedrals. The Old City of Bilbao with rich mansions and centuries-old monasteries does not leave indifferent to its beauty. Some certainly visit the strict Toledo, which has preserved traces of various eras.

Others prefer the colonial town of Cartagena, imbued with the spirit of the 18th century. Fans of an active and varied pastime can ride a horse, play golf, go to a football match, watch flamenco in a cafe or restaurant, and also witness a bullfight (except for Catalonia and the Canary Islands). By the way, this is the last month that traditionally ends the bullfighting season.

Holidays and festivals

October in Spain is accompanied by many colorful festivals. One of them is the Day of Hispanidad / Día de la Hispanidad, celebrated annually on the 12th. This is the national holiday of Spain, which is considered a kind of founding day of the Spanish civilization.

Also on October 12, the memory of Our Lady Pilar is honored, under whose patronage Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. Initially, it was celebrated only in Aragon, but later spread throughout the entire state. For many older Spaniards, this holiday is loved more than their own birthday. In the city of Zaragoza on October 12, magnificent parades and dance performances are held. Another significant event of mid-autumn is the grandiose closing of the Flamenco Festival / Bienal de Flamenco in Seville, arranged once every 2 years. It was first held at 1980 and a few years later received wide publicity. Today, about 10,000 dancers from 40 countries of the world take part in it! In the first 2 weeks of October, seafood lovers flock to Ponteverde for the fish festival “La Fiesta del Marisco”,

To taste delicious dishes of lobsters, lobsters, shrimps, squids, etc. On October 24, residents and guests of Cordoba honor the memory of St. Raphael. The celebration is called “Día de San Rafael” and includes special services, as well as a number of social events, including folk festivals.

What are the prices for holidays in Spain in October?

October prices for excursions, air tickets and accommodation are relatively low. The fall in inbound tourist flow is forcing airlines, hoteliers and tour agencies to reduce tariffs for services rendered by an average of 20% compared to prices during the peak of the high season. However, it should be borne in mind that this number is approximate, and depends directly on the geographical location of the proposed vacation spot. So, in beach resorts, the cost of a day in a hotel room will be much lower than, for example, in a hotel of an equivalent category in Barcelona, ​​​​which never knows a shortage of visitors, and which often hosts business meetings and other business events. In addition, last-minute vouchers are sold to many coastal cities throughout the month, allowing you to save a lot. At the same time, the quality of service remains at the same decent level.

The air temperature at the beginning of the month is kept at 15 degrees, during the day it reaches 20 degrees, and at night it can drop to 10. The water temperature is 20 degrees.

Everyone perceives the temperature differently, however, taking a warm jacket with you will be the right decision.

Is it possible to get a tan in Spain in October?

Not everywhere in Spain you can get a tan in October. However, in Orihuela Costa and Torres Torres, daytime temperatures rise above 21 degrees, and in Las Rosas it reaches 25. In these cities, you can count on a tan.

“Velvet season” at sea in October

Crete, Greece
The island of Crete, according to the Greeks, is the cradle of modern civilization and a worthy welcome for a traveler can be found here. Even in early November, the weather pleases with warmth and sunshine, which is the envy of mainland Greece. But in contrast to the temperature, prices in hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues are creeping down uncontrollably.

Another plus is the reduction in tourist traffic, which guarantees tranquility on the beaches, sights, cultural institutions and bars. And at this time it is easy to buy a last-minute tour for October, which comes out even cheaper.

Kemer, Turkey
Mediterranean warmth and hospitality do not leave these parts even in late autumn. Sea breezes are reinforced by the aroma of pine forest, which props up the beach strips closely. Hotels are still working, but the tourist community has significantly diminished in them. And unique architectural monuments, ancient treasures and natural beauties will make a good company.

And if you can have a cheap vacation in October without denying yourself anything, it’s in Kemer. All-inclusive, dozens of excursions, hammam, spa, thermal wellness, free beaches – what could be better?

Cyprus

A researcher of historical treasures in Cyprus will not have to sit idle here. And Cypriot beaches are invariably included in the TOPs of the best in Europe , at least in the northern part of the island, which is in the Greek south.

The symbol of bohemian holidays is well-maintained and slightly prim Paphos. Hundreds of discos, bars, youth entertainment, etc. await guests in Larnaca.

Bulgaria
Bulgaria is considered a center of inexpensive tourism. A tiny country by the Black Sea has won the hearts of travelers with low prices and quality service, and even at the end of the swimming season, it is worth going here by buying cheap tours for October.

The autumn cold snap did not have time to reach these places and the air is still warm – 25 degrees is quite enough for a tan and comfortable walks, and even antiquities,

sightseeing objects and unique monuments in this country cannot be counted. In addition, Bulgaria will offer excellent programs for healing, rejuvenation, treatment in thermal springs and sanatoriums. The list of entertainment is also impressive: horseback riding, mountain trekking, water parks, water sports.

Tunisia
It is easy to buy last-minute trips to Tunisia in October, although even at this time African heat reigns there and European bliss in its best understanding flourishes. Temperatures from 25 degrees for local latitudes are a common thing, like the warm sea, and dozens of ancient places where a tourist steps with enviable regularity.

Tunisia is famous for its spa therapies and wellness programs based on the healing power of sea water, thermal waters, algae and centuries-old traditions. In addition, Tunisia is a traditional oriental flavor, Arab bazaars, inexpensive hotels, good beaches and modern clubs / bars / restaurants.

Sri Lanka
Faraway Sri Lanka does not know the concept of off-season, both in winter and in summer it is hot, sunny and indescribably beautiful. Unlike Europe, in autumn the island only wakes up, that is, it prepares for the tourist season. It is in the middle of autumn in Sri Lanka that you can have an inexpensive vacation in October.

United Arab Emirates

This corner has only one drawback – solid price tags, but if you try, you can find a last-minute tour in October and spend your vacation without going beyond the budget.

Thailand
In Thailand, mid-autumn is not considered a popular time, and therefore the cost of tours is significantly cheaper. But ancient temples, luxurious palaces, ruins of old cities, national parks are still beautiful and interesting. As before, Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Chang, Hua Hin are welcoming to guests. Bangkok beckons with vibrant nightlife, markets, amusement parks, unique landmarks and millions of city lights.

Vietnam
If you are tired of city life and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the earth, Vietnamese Phu Quoc is the best solution. This is also worth a visit if you are looking for tranquility, beach bliss and a sense of unity with nature.

Tropical jungle invites you to explore its expanses, waterfalls seduce you with freshness on a hot afternoon and no autumn – it is sunny here at this time and every day is fine.

Comfortable October in the cities

Czech Republic
No matter what they say, but it is in autumn that the Czech Republic acquires a special charm.

1. October is the best time to visit old Italy. Sicily, Capri, Ischia are ideal for autumn serenity. The water in the sea is still quite warm – 23 degrees and a little higher, mineral springs, healing mud, a magical climate give health, strength and positive.
2. Local beaches shimmer with golden sands , Buddhist pagodas flaunt with filigree carvings, high mountains willingly cool the ardor of guests with dense overgrowth of tropical greenery, mangroves fascinate with the riot of nature, tea plantations and orchards intoxicate with aroma and every detail completes the picture of universal paradise.

3. For those looking for a sophisticated pastime, Venice, Naples, Palermo, Verona, Florence and, of course, Rome, filled with historical evidence, will do. Milan, Turin, Pisa are also not the last stars in the tourist pleiad, but we should not even talk about such famous places as Rimini, Portofino.

Crimea
It is not true that life on the peninsula stops in autumn. If the question is where to go in October, then the Crimean resorts are perfect for this. Especially Alushta , where affordability is combined with quality , and picturesque beaches are complemented by a wealth of possible entertainment.

In Alushta and its environs there are imperial residences – the famous Livadia Palace and the inimitable Massandra. The city is surrounded by colorful gardens and vineyards. Cozy cafes, restaurants, kebabs await the holidaymakers on the resort streets, ready to brighten up the leisure of a weary traveler.

Croatia
In Croatian autumn, spa passions subside to give way to tranquility. And although only the most persistent will dare to swim in the sea, there is something to do here even without beaches – seafood, historical antiquities, thermal springs, spas, wineries, national parks. And you can make up for the lack of the sea in the pool.

Georgia
October in Georgia is rather summer than autumn… That is why guests are not bored at all: the Black Sea is warm, and exciting excursions to the mountains will take place without sweltering heat in a very pleasant climate.

October is a logical continuation of September, when all Georgians, according to the good old tradition, gather at the same table in honor of the “rtveli” (harvest) holiday in order to taste dishes and drinks from the new harvest. This tradition has been around for almost 8,000 years! And if we also take into account that by October the collections of Tbilisi museums are being actively updated, a trip to Georgia may well be equated in terms of excursion significance with a visit to Old Europe.

Beach holidays in October. Which resorts have the best beach holidays in October.



Tips for tourists> where to
go to rest at sea> beach holiday in October

In October, the summer season ends in the Mediterranean countries. On some coasts of the Mediterranean region, you can swim even in December, but mostly in these countries the low season comes.
As always, the warmest weather in the southern and eastern Mediterranean. The weather in Cyprus, in Turkey off the coast of Antalya, in Sicily, in Israel allows you to swim until the end of October.

The weather in October in Greece on the mainland is unstable, but on the southern islands – such as Crete and especially Rhodes, you can get a good beach holiday.

The rest of the Mediterranean is not suitable for a full beach holiday. The weather is unstable, it can rain, the evenings are cool. If you want to go in October and swim – choose the first half of October.
The season ends on the Black Sea coast as well. You can enjoy the last warm days, sometimes swim, but in general, nature is switching to winter time. Temperature table

Therefore, those who want to swim and sunbathe without problems should be prepared for long flights.
October is a beautiful season in Egypt, Eilat – this month the sea is very warm, and the suffocating summer heat has receded.

Therefore, the Red Sea is a hit of a beach holiday in October. Also, the UAE will rightly be considered the best beach holiday destination in October. It is only necessary to take into account that in the evenings the desert surrounding these resorts cools down greatly and after sunset it can be cool.

When choosing a beach holiday in October, you should not forget that even in the hottest countries of the northern hemisphere, autumn comes, so the daylight hours are significantly shortened, and it gets dark at about 5 pm.

Mild warm weather in the Canary Islands – sea and air temperatures are almost the same.

In India (Goa), the weather in October is beautiful – the rainy season is over, the best season for holidays in this region of India is coming. There is no unrest at sea, no suffocating heat and rain.
But in Southeast Asia, for some resorts, October is the worst time to travel. It is very rainy on Koh Samui, it rains in Pattaya and Phuket.
The rainy season is in full swing in Nha Trang. October is the worst month to visit this part of Vietnam. But, if you want to go to Vietnam, the weather is good at this time in Halong Bay.
Rainy in October and in the Western Hemisphere – Caribbean, Mexico in October prone to rain and hurricanes.

Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. The chance that a given day will be muggy in Lanzarote is essentially constant during March, remaining around 1% throughout. For reference, on August 31, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 58% of the time, while on February 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Lanzarote is essentially constant during March, remaining within 0.2 miles per hour of 14.4 miles per hour throughout. For reference, on July 17, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 17.6 miles per hour, while on October 14, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 12.0 miles per hour.

Lanzarote Provincia de Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain © OpenStreetMap contributors Lanzarote Weather in March – How Warm and Sunny Is It? Looking for a sunny spring holiday? Lanzarote enjoys a beautiful weather in March! March marks the transition from winter to spring in Lanzarote and the weather gets warmer and warmer as the month progresses. So the island is the perfect escape place for people seeking to escape the bitter cold back home. What’s the weather like in Lanzarote in March What to wear at night Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise in March? Which one has the best weather? Average temperatures Rainfall Sunshine hours Sea temperature Things to do in March Events in March Lanzarote in March is also still warmer than most other sunny winter destinations in Europe – unless you are planning to go to some other Canary Island. Although Lanzarote is not a tropical island, the temperatures in March are mild and it’s definitely a lot warmer than the UK, Germany, Finland or even continental Spain. So although realistically you shouldn’t expect summer weather and temperatures, there are still big chances that you will go back home with a tan after spending a few days in Lanzarote.  What’s the weather like in Lanzarote in March The weather in March in Lanzarote can be a mix of sunny days, one or two odd rainy days and maybe some calima. Temperatures will be in the mid-20s °C, so when the sun is high on the sky, the weather is perfect for sunbathing. On those overcast days you can still go out and travel around the island, as there are lots of things to see in Lanzarote for the curious traveler. The sea is usually still too cold for swimming, so especially if you are traveling with children we recommend you book somewhere to stay with a heated pool. This way you will be able to make the most of the beautiful weather, even if the sea is too cold for you to swim in it. What to wear at night In the evenings you will need a jacket and long trousers, as temperatures drop when the sun is gone. At night you can expect temperatures around 15 – 17 °C and if there’s wind it will feel even colder, so a cardigan or a jacket is definitely needed.  Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise in March? Which one has the best weather? When you look at weather reports for Lanzarote’s main resorts you can see easily that the predictions are almost the same. And although the temperature in Puerto del Camen can be the same as in Costa Teguise, the weather conditions can be different due to wind speed and clouds. For the winter months like January, February or March we tend to prefer Playa Blanca as we fell it’s more protected from wind. This is mostly a personal opinion, so you should choose based on your own preferences. Average temperatures Temperatures in March in Lanzarote go up to 22 – 24°C during the daytime, but when the sun is out it will feel warmer, so don’t forget to bring your sun cream with you. At night temperatures go down to 14 – 17 °C, so a jumper or a coat are a must. Average high temperature: 22.9°C  (73.2°F) Average low temperature: 15°C  (59°F) Daily mean temperature: 19°C  (66.2°F) In Lanzarote, the daily mean temperature is 19°C in March, which is calculated as a mean between the average high temperature of 22.9°C and the average low of 15°C.  Record low & record high temperatures The highest temperature ever recorded in Lanzarote in March (at Airport station) was 32.7°C and the lowest was 8.3°C. Rainfall Average rainfall: 13 mm Average rainy days: 2 In March you can expect an average of 2 rainy days and the chances of rain decrease as the month of April gets closer. However, with all the climate changes the weather is now unpredictable almost anywhere in the world, so Lanzarote has seen in the last 10 years some exceptions from the average rule of 2 rainy days per month. March 2011 brought to Lanzarote the most severe rainstorm ever recorded, while the following year in 2012 the island saw the driest month of March ever, with no rain at all. So although we can present an average based on historical data, the future weather is very hard to predict, as exceptions can always occur. If you are coming to Lanzarote in March you should be prepared for some rainy days, but it will still be warmer than back home, so that’s a consolation.  Sunshine hours Monthly sunshine hours in March: 240 Lanzarote gets an average of 8 hours/day of sunshine in March. It takes a while in the mornings for the sun to come up, but once it does you can expect a beach day ’till sunset.  Sea temperature This is the average numbers for the sea temperature in March in Puerto del Carmen: The average sea temperature in March: 18.6°C / 65.5°F With an average of 19. 8°C / 66.7°F, the sea is starting to warm up, but it can still be too cold for most people to enjoy a swim in the sea. Things to do in March What we most like to do when visiting in March is to explore the island from corner to corner, discovering new and secret places every time. For us the summer days are just too hot to be out in the sun all day, so we can’t walk as much as we would like. This is why months like March are perfect for journeys of discovery. Go to Timanfaya National Park The journey through Timanfaya National Park is beautiful no matter the season and in March it will be definitely less crowded than in summer. Cueva de los Verdes If you get an overcast day in March, you can go and visit Cueva de Los Verdes  If it’s raining outside, this is the perfect place to escape the rain. The visit to Cueva de los Verdes is fascinating and a must for anyone traveling to Lanzarote, as you will learn more about the island’s volcanic history. Events in March Carnival month In 2020, the carnivals in Lanzarote will take place in March, so this is the perfect month to visit if you want to participate in at least one of these big events. People get dressed up and there is a big parade with floats and costumes, so the atmosphere is great and tourists and locals as well take part in these celebrations that last for several days.

March Weather in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, Spain – 2023 – Winter Sun Expert Puerto del Carmen is the main tourist town on the island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain and it is on the southeast side of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Puerto del Carmen was originally a small fishing village, and even though it has become a very lively holiday hub, the old harbor is still a delightful place to visit, boasting some excellent seafood restaurants. The waterside promenade doubles up as the main strip – it’s packed with bars, clubs, and restaurants, and it also looks out over a trio of beaches. The island has avoided heavy development and many of its top attractions were developed with the help of the artist César Manrique, who gave them a timeless, space-age style. Although the resort has grown over the last twenty years, it now stretches along the whole 6 km (4 Miles) of golden sandy beaches. The town has been saved from the high-rise buildings that blight so many other destinations due to the strict planning restrictions.

What language do they speak in tenerife: Language | Society | Tenerife Опубликовано: May 19, 2021 в 11:12 am Автор: alexxlab Категории: Miscellaneous Spanish and Canarian expressions you must know before visiting Tenerife Support for the Canarian culture and traditions has become a hallmark at Hotel Suite Villa María. It is a factor that is lived and breathed in every corner of our hotel, either through the architecture that is inspired in the towns of the archipelago, through the gastronomy or the personalized attention, something very much in line with the friendly character of the Canarian people. The history of the Canary Islands is full of influences. The Atlantic feeling of Portugal, the music and iconography of Cuba and Venezuela, the heritage of British and European trade in the sixteenth century or the evolution of new expressions with the tourist boom of the islands are just a few examples that can help us to understand this relationship with the outside world. The experience of travelling to any place is always more complete when one is concerned with knowing in depth the peculiarities and curiosities of the destination. Even though here in Tenerife we are able to understand each other perfectly well with all the visitors that we welcome, we are sure that the Spanish and Canarian expressions that we are about to tell you will be very interesting and, above all, very useful during your stay on the island. Essentials when travelling in Spain Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, but it is also one of the most difficult to learn. It has a multitude of exceptions and interpretations, but you should not fail to give it a chance. Although we live in a globalized world, not everyone can speak English on the Islands -especially older people-, so you will need to remember a few words and expressions. To say hello, there is nothing like the classic and universal Hola (hello). If you intend to advance to the next level, you can use Buenos días (good morning) in the morning, Buenas tardes (good afternoon) from 12:00 and Buenas noches (good evening) as soon as the sun sets. Equally important as greeting is knowing how to interact. When you want to request something, don’t forget to use the expression Por favor (please), but if you want to express gratitude, a simple Gracias (thank you) is sufficient -of course, it’s better if it’s accompanied by a smile- ;)On the other hand, if it’s you wish to respond to a thank you, you can respond with a De nada or No hay de qué (you are welcome). These are just a few basic terms and are very easy to use. Learning a new language is always an adventure and we can guarantee that Spanish can become really exciting. The best known Canarian terms Who hasn’t smiled when they hear a local Canarian refer to the bus as a guagua? Probably, this is one of the best known words in the Canarian lexicon and its origin is attributed to the relationship with Cuba. Its explanation is not entirely clear, although two versions stand out: one is the adaptation of the name of the company Wa & Wa Co. Inc. (Washington, Walton, and Company Incorporated), the first to export buses to the island; the other is the Spanish evolution of the English word wagon. Another of the expressions that most attracts the attention of travellers is cotufas, although this has its own version in the province of Las Palmas, whose substitute would be roscas. This word, which is used to refer to the classic popcorn, is so common that it can be found directly in cinemas and shops. It comes directly to the Islands from Venezuela, although many also claim that it is an adaptation of the English expression corn to fry. But without a doubt, if we have to refer to a Canarian word that makes us fall in love, gaveta wins the prize. It is nothing more than the term we use to refer to the drawers of the furniture and its origin, like that of many other words, is in the Portuguese language. It is one of our favorite words because of its sonority, although we must warn you that it is also a fairly common term in Latin American countries, such as Chile.   Our particular way of expressing feelings Learning words from scratch is very difficult, especially if you are not Spanish-speaking, so we have preferred to mention some Canarian locutions easy to use and with which the natives will be able to understand you perfectly. Expressing feelings is not easy, that’s why we like to use onomatopoeic words like ños or chos, which we usually use to reflect surprise. In this sense, it is not advisable to confuse them with fos, which is basically used to say that something we don’t like or disgusts us. But if what you are looking for is to be an expert in Canarian lexicon, we recommend to write down three phrases with which you will not go unnoticed among the locals: se me fue el baifo (something like my Little goat run away), to clarify that you are absent-minded or have a mental lapse; tengo jilgorio, if you want to express that you want to eat; and, finally, ya el conejo me enriscó la perra (the rabbit threw my dog), a hunting term that is used when you learn a lesson after a conflict. Many of these phrases or expressions may seem strange to you, but we invite you to use them during your stay in our hotel. Every day languages disappear all over the world and giving them the importance they deserve is a everyone’s job. Moreover, if you are interested in the subject, we recommend two references for you to learn other terms and expressions: one is the website of the Academia Canaria de la Lengua (Canarian Laguage Academy), where you will find many documents of interest and will be able to consult the meaning of many words; and another is the book Expresiones Canarias (Canarian Expressions), by Juan José Doras Brito, which collects the main phrases and terms of the Islands, not without ignoring the humor that characterizes many of the stories behind them. We are sure you will love them!

All of the islands have Spanish as their official language, but on some of the islands, such as Tenerife and Gran Canaria, you will also find people who speak English. So, if you are planning to visit the Canary Islands, you will be able to get by with English in some places, but it is always useful to learn at least some basic Spanish before you go. Phoenicians sailed west from the Mediterranean around 1000 BC to settle on the islands. In the pantheon of their gods, these islands were named after the major gods of the time, such as El Noroeste (Canary Islands), Baal (Tenerife), Adonis (Gran Canaria), and Aphrodite (La Palma). Around 2000 BC, the Berbers were the first settlers to arrive on the Canaries. They were nomadic for a long time, and they gradually became integrated with the Phoenicians and other settlers. The Phoenicians and their descendants, known as the Romans, were the first Europeans to visit the Canaries. In 218 BC, the Romans established their first permanent settlement on Lanzarote, followed by a second one on Fuerteventura. The Moors, an Islamic people from North Africa who conquered much of Europe during the eighth century, were the first to invade and rule the Iberian Peninsula. The archipelago was conquered by 711 AD, and by 714 AD, the Canaries were in ruins. After the Christians invaded the Canaries in 1492 and expelled the Moors from the islands, the Moors ruled them for nearly 500 years. The Christian conquerors established a number of Canaries towns and villages, including Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La Coru*a, and Palma de Mallorca. In the early 17th century, the Spanish arrived on the Canaries and began colonizing the islands. The Spanish crown established a number of administrative centers throughout the Canaries, including the islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, as early as the 17th century. Today, there are nearly 1.5 million people living in the Canaries of Spain, which are an autonomous community. The Canaries are well-known as a tourist destination and a center of agricultural production.

Tenerife, a wonderful place to learn Spanish Canarian Spanish is a variant of standard Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands and really similar to Western Andalusian and to Caribbean Spanish and other Hispanic American Spanish. Canarian Spanish is the only Spanish dialect in Spain to be called usually español, instead of castellano. Canarian Spanish heavily influenced the development of Caribbean Spanish and other Latin American Spanish variants because Hispanic America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands were originally largely settled by colonists from the Canary Islands and Andalusia. The Spanish spoken in the Canary islands is very close to the one spoken in peninsular Spain, but the accent is very much the same as in South American countries, that means you can learn the most common variant among Spanish speakers.

Because the best way to find out, why Tenerife is perfect to study Spanish, is to come here and experience it yourself! 37 Key Words If You Want To Speak To People From The Canary Islands   by Elena Llorca from Spain2Speak If you have visited the Canary Islands, you will have checked that it is the Spanish region which looks the most like South America –especially like the Caribbean, for its climate and its accent. In fact, the Canary Islands dialect corresponds to the “Atlantic variety,” linked to Spanish-speaking America and much more to Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, as well as to some areas of Venezuela, Colombia and Panama. For example, the Canary Islands speech has as some of its most outstanding characteristics the “seseo” [pronunciation of the Spanish sound /θ/ as /s/] –the same as in South America and the Spanish region of Andalusia– or the aspiration of initial “h,” the softness when pronouncing the letter “j” or the plural with “ustedes” –and not with “vosotros” as in the rest of Spain. The truth is that the Canary Islands “deje” or accent is the one that the other Spaniards prefer for its sensuality and its rhythm –as opposed to other accents, like the ones typical of Madrid or the Basque Country, which often seem excessively brusque. The “canarismos” or dialectal expressions from the Canaries mainly show influences from Andalusian Spanish, from Portuguese and from South American Spanish. I was lucky to live in Santa Cruz de Tenerife –the most populated city in the archipelago– for a few years as a little girl and, therefore, among all the possible words and expressions (there are thousands of them!), I have made a selection of those which bring me more memories from my childhood. Let’s do it in alphabetical order! Canarian Spanish Words Infographic Scroll down for the text version with examples! Remember to share this infographic on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+.   Canarian Spanish Words: Full Text 1. A pela: carrying someone “a pela” is to carry them on our back. When we were very small, our parents carried us in their arms. When we grew bigger and they could not carry us any more, we asked them: “¡Pues llévame a pela, por favor, que estoy cansado! [Then, carry me piggyback, please, I am tired!]”. Needless to say, we were not successful 😀 2. Afilador: a little instrument used for sharpening pencils that we all used to put into our pencil case. Elsewhere in Spain, it is called “sacapuntas” [pencil sharpener].” 3. Aguavivas: sea jellyfish; those which sting, making your flesh red and swollen at the end of summer… 4. Alcancía: one of the words which comes from the Arabic language “alkanzíyya.” It refers to a moneybox, whether it is in the shape of a little pig (“piggybank”) or not. 5. Arrojar: to vomit. In excursions with children, you must be careful to prevent them from getting sick, or they can end up arrojándose [vomiting themselves] completely! 6. Arrullar: to rock. The wind rocks leaves; mothers rock babies to sleep. The word “arrullar” also exists in Spanish with a different –though closely related– meaning: it refers to a “lull” as a soft, sweeping voice that makes you sleepy, like that of a mother who rocks her baby, or the sea murmur. But the use of “arrullar” as “mecer [to rock]” is typical of the Canary Islands. 7. Baifo: it is a type of goat and the Canary Islands phrase is “se te fue el baifo,” which means “you lost your mind,” “you got muddled,”… 8. Boliches: Marbles, small glass balls that children play with. 9. Chachi: that is good or has good quality (even human). “¡Qué chachi que vinieron! [It is so good that you came!]” or “¡Qué chachi es tu madre! [Your mother is so nice!]” 10. ¡Chacho!: a shortened form of “¡Muchacho!” used to express surprise. “¡Yayo!” could also be heard, since people from the Canaries pronounce “ch” very softly: “¡Yayo! ¡Yo no sabía que te habías comprado esta casa tan grande! [Yayo! I didn’t know you had bought such a big house!]” 11. Chicharreros & Canariones: natives of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, the two largest islands in the archipelago, respectively. Curiously enough, whereas those born in Tenerife proudly call themselves Chicharreros, the inhabitants of Gran Canaria do not recognise themselves as Canariones, this being a term that others use to designate them –but which is not used by people born in Gran Canaria. 12. Chola: beach sandal, the typical flip-flop. When we went to the beach, we took our swimsuit or swimming trunks, our towel and… we couldn’t possibly forget our “cholas”! 13. Cotufas: popcorn. On Sundays, well-dressed and combed with eau de cologne, we went to the cinema and, of course, we bought ourselves some cotufas and a soft drink. 14. Durazno: The same as in other Latin American regions, “durazno” is the name given to a peach. [NOTE FROM JARED: melocotón is another common Latin American word for peach.] 15. Engurruñar: It means “to wrinkle,” whether it is a piece of clothing or our brow when we are sad or in low spirits. 16.

[Give me a fisquito of your chocolate bar, mine is finished].” 18. ¡Fos!: when a bad smell is suddenly detected, a person from the Canary Island says Fos! or also Foo!, which is equivalent to “¡qué peste! [what a stink!]” 19. Frangollo: typical Canary Islands dessert similar to crème caramel or pudding which is served cold with honey or liquid caramel. 20. Godo: this is how people from the Canary Islands derogatorily refer to the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula. We cannot forget that Spain is formed by the peninsular territory, which is the largest part of the country, a small territory in North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla) and two archipelagos: The Canaries and the Balearic Islands. Well, “Godos” [literally, Goths] is what people from the Canaries call those born in the Peninsula. 21. Guagua: the same as in Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and other territories in the Antilles, “guagua” means “bus.” 22. Guanche: Indians, ancient settlers of Tenerife.

[Come on, mi niña (my little girl), get dressed because I’m taking you out for dinner]!” 30. Millo: this is how they refer to corn, whether it is raw, boiled or toasted. The latter is known as “kikos” elsewhere in Spain, and they are eaten alone or mixed with toasted sunflower seeds. It is quite typical to eat seeds and millo while people chat in a relaxed fashion at village squares. 31. Mojo: Typical Canary Islands sauce which is eaten with roasted potatoes. There are two types: “mojo verde” (green) and “mojo picón” (red). 32. ¡Ño! or ¡Ñú!: an exclamation of fright or surprise, as when you hit yourself and say “¡Ño! ¡me destrocé la pierna! [Ño! I smashed my leg!]” 33. Piche: pitch / tar, like the one which sometimes appears on beaches when waste is dumped at sea. As children, when we came back after a day on the beach, we had to rub our feet with oil to remove the remains of piche more than once. 34. Piña: corn cob. How did we distinguish it from the “piña” = fruit (pineapple)? I guess by the context, because they are both called the same… 35. Sancocho: a stew typical of the Canaries with dry fish, potato, sweet potato, toasted cornmeal and sometimes banana. 36. Tenis: trainers (sports shoes). 37. Trabas: hairpins, the ones which they made you wear to prevent your hair from being constantly all over your face and also for ponytails to be retained a bit better. And finally, some of those words that we used to say in a low voice while we killed ourselves laughing: the pinga, the cuca or the picha to call the penis, and the chocha or the pepe for the female organ :-D.

Tenerife is an island that is almost three hours away by plane from the Spanish mainland. It is famous for its black sand beaches, the year-round warm temperatures. But, here comes the surprise. Did you know that the Canarian islands have their own dialect? And that some expressions are only used on the Canary Islands and nowhere else? I am really interested in learning about local dialects and Spanish slang so I researched typical expressions used on the Canary Islands. Do you want to learn Canarian Spanish as well? Here, I will explain the typical words that “Canarios” use!

La Guagua There is no way you can stay in the Canary Islands without hearing this common Canarian expression at least once: La Guagua. And do you know what it is? Guagua means “bus” in the Canary Islands and is widely used. Definitely the most important expression on the Canary Islands. It emerged thanks to Canarians bringing this expression back from Cuba. What initially was “wagon”, turned into “Guagua“. By the way, the public transport in Tenerife is fantastic and very affordable. Do not be scared to get on the guaguas and explore the island! It is so worth it. Timetables and further information about public transport on Tenerife can be found on this website. Advertisements Learn Canarian Spanish before visiting the Canary Islands! 2. CholasAdvertisements If you do not know what “cholas” are maybe you have heard the equivalent word “chanclas” used on the Spanish mainland. “Cholas” is the Canarian expression for flip-flops which are essential on the Canary Islands! The Canary Islands are very humid and warm the whole year round so light footwear is very important. I am not quite sure where this expression comes from. But the Canary Islands have a big influence from South America. And there are some regions there, that also use the word “cholas” for flip-flops. And the Canarian slang is known for using some words typical in South America. 3. Garimba It is so funny to me how different Carian slang to the Spanish mainland is. They really use completely different words than on the Spanish mainland, and “garimba” is one of those. A “garimba” is Carian slang for a small beer, which on the Spanish mainland would be a “caña”. There is nothing better than ending a hot day with a “garimba“. If you do not like beer, maybe the next Canarian expression I talk about will be a good choice for you! Barraquito is a local coffee variation you MUST try! 4. Barraquito If you love coffee and have a sweet tooth (like me!) you will be very excited about a Barraquito! A Barraquito is a local Canarian coffee variation with condensed milk, liquor 43, cinnamon, and a touch of lemon. It sounds very sweet and it is. There are many different coffee variations here on the islands, but this is the most common one. What surprised me was how affordable it is. I stayed in Tenerife for two weeks and I have never paid more than 1,80 Euros for a good barraquito. Try and decide for yourself if you like it! 5. Papas Arrugadas with Mojo So this is one of the dishes I am very excited about. So excited, that I had in every day for a whole week. But it’s so good! “Papas” are potatoes, which are the main ingredient of Canarian cuisine. On the Spanish mainland, they are called “Patatas”. Papas Arrugadas are cooked potatoes with a salty crust. They are served with mojo, which is a sauce made out of garlic, parsley and cilantro. Highly addictive and so tasty! You really cannot leave the Canarian islands without trying Papas Arrugadas first. 6. Guachinche Did you ever wonder where you could order “Papas Arrugadas con Mojo”? Typically, in a “guachinche“. A “guachinche” is a restaurant that offers homemade Canarian food. Those are not fancy places with expensive furniture and an expensive atmosphere. Quite the opposite. A “guachinche” is an affordable restaurant, that usually is family-owned and serves quality food. Do not forget to try local restaurants during your trip! Advertisements7. Panza de Burro “Panza de Burro” means “The donkey’s belly” in Spanish. No, it is not used for when you ate too much! “Panza de burro” refers to foggy weather and low-hanging clouds on the islands. Sometimes they are so low that you cannot even see the tip of the mountains on the islands. But beware, it does not mean that it will be a cold day! It is still very warm, even though you see “Panza de burro” in the mountains. This phenomenon is very common in the north part of Tenerife. AdvertisementsPanza de Burro are low hanging clouds in Canarian Spanish 8. Chacho! Advertisements “Chacho” is the short form of “Muchacho” and Canarios use this expression at least 20 times a day. It could be the equivalent of “dude” or “wow”. Don’t forget that you use “Chacho” for boys and “Chacha” for girls. It could be used like “Chacho, can you pass me my jacket?”. 9. Mi niño / Mi niña “Mi niño” (for men) and “mi niña” (for women) are expressions to show affection for someone. And they are even used for people you don’t even know personally. So if you are in the market and someone calls you mi niña, you just have to know that they are trying to be polite to you. And don’t think it is just used for young people or children. This expression is used for people of all ages! So, were you able to improve your Canarian Spanish? I am sure there were some expressions you did not know about. Let me know in the comments if you can think of any more! The whistle language is experiencing a resurgence in the Canary Islands January 11, 2013 Sign up for our ”Context” newsletter: it will help you understand the events. Image caption, Whistle lessons are compulsory for everyone at a school on La Gomera One of the world’s most unusual languages ​​is experiencing a revival in the Canary Islands. This is the whistling language of Silbo Homero, named after the island of Gomera, which belongs to the archipelago of the Canary Islands. I am standing on top of a hill overlooking the old peasant houses. To my right is a view of a forest burned last year when this Spanish island, off the coast of Morocco, was engulfed in forest fires. I listen, trying to make out the sounds of the whistle, which the old-timers assure me are still used by the locals. This ancient language, in which words in Spanish are replaced by four consonants and two vowels, is perfectly suited for communication between shepherds grazing sheep in rugged ravines. They say that it can be heard for more than three kilometers. In a moment of danger Nothing is known about its origin. The first European settlers who arrived on the island in the 15th century found the Guanches there, who already used the whistle to communicate over long distances. Gradually, the locals switched to Spanish when whistling, although it is known that in North Africa, where the Guanches came from, whistling languages ​​were common among many nationalities. The whistling language was especially widely used in the 40s and 50s of the last century. “In the old days, when fires started in the mountains, which often happens on the island, we were all evacuated by the police,” says Lion Rodriguez, an old man with a hoarse voice of a smoker. According to him, no one asked people, but they were simply put on trucks and taken to the city while the fire was being put out. And the shepherds whistled among themselves, warning about the danger – they say, the police left, we must hide. No one, except for the shepherds and some local residents, understood this language. The news of the danger spread throughout the island very quickly. The whistling language began to decline in the late 1950s, when, due to the economic crisis, many speakers – or silbadors, as they were called in Spanish – emigrated to Venezuela and nearby Tenerife. But the rapid development, first of the road network, and then of mobile networks, led to the fact that the Silbo Homero language lost its practical value. By the end of the 1990s, interest in this language began to revive, although many islanders treated it with disdain, considering it the language of poor peasants. Second wind Photo caption, The island is slowly emptying as residents move to Tenerife in search of work However, it was then that the decision was made to introduce the whistling language into the curriculum of the local primary schools. I must say that I did not manage to hear a whistle during many hours of travel on this volcanic island with its very diverse topography. It has become a tourist attraction and can only be heard in schools and during performances in hotels and restaurants. Archaeologist Fernandez Marrero fears that the whistling language may become an exotic curiosity, like the flower necklaces worn around the necks of tourists in the Hawaiian Islands. Examples of other languages ​​of this type are known – for example, on the Greek island of Evia, in the city of Cuzkoy in Turkey, and also in the French Pyrenees. But Silbo Gomero is the only language that is well studied and taught in schools, and therefore used by hundreds of people. For some inhabitants of the island of Homer, language has become a source of income, others consider it an important element of national identity, but for the linguist Martial Morer, it is interesting in itself. “Silbo is interesting from a linguistic point of view, because he is a very simple system and you can use his example to understand how other languages ​​were formed,” he says. Many silbadores who make money from tourists do not talk to each other and are suspicious of competitors. But there are those among them who are ready to share stories related to the whistling language. I met one of these silbadores in the town of Chipude, high in the mountains. 39-year-old Isidoro did not learn this language at school, but inherited it from his father. He herds goats in the local mountains and summons them with his whistle. According to him, goats respond only to his voice. Shiro, as his friends call him, lives alone. All his relatives left for Tenerife, because there was no work for them on their native island. “I myself lived there for eight years, but decided to return. I never got used to city life – I love nature, I love animals and I love to whistle. I will stay here because the island needs me,” says the shepherd.

Ten Secrets of the Ancient Guanches | Publications …We saw him only twice – a gray-haired giant who suddenly grew out of nothing a hundred kilometers from us. Appeared and dissolved in the ocean haze… At first we thought that it was just a bizarre cloud like a mountain. But the cloud did not move, and a white, sparkling cap became more and more clearly visible on its top. Snow! Yes, this is the Teide peak, the highest point of the Canary archipelago, the lighthouse of ancient sailors. From here, from the island of Gran Canaria, we saw a volcano located on neighboring Tenerife! Yes, you can see it even from the Moroccan coast, if you are lucky with the weather, I was told at the reception of the Balito Beach Hotel, which has become our home for the next two weeks. From the wide loggias of our apartments, we saw the Teide peak, having risen a little light to catch a convenient express train to Las Palmas. We were waiting for the famous Museo Canario, the Canarian Museum, and ten secrets of the Guanches, which have occupied me for a decade and a half. Over the past three or four years, so much has been written about the Canaries in our newspapers that it is impossible to add a word to the admiring lines dedicated to this tourist paradise in the Atlantic. Guests from Europe inhabited two of the seven major islands Gran Canaria and Tenerife. There are more and more Russians here. True, many of them, probably due to the fact that they get here straight on a charter flight from Moscow and do not receive any marks in their passports, they have no idea where they are purely geographically. Here, one might say, no one really knows anything about the Guanches. The book about the history of the Canary Islands, written by me five years ago, was printed out by local travel agencies on a photocopier and began to be read during excursions around the islands. They say that the history of the Canaries is of great interest. Therefore, we will begin our story with her. The story could begin like this: On a clear July morning in 1341, a strong Atlantic surf carried the remains of two Genoese sailing ships onto the shore of a large island. Several members of the team struggled out onto the rocky cliffs. Here they were picked up by tall fair-skinned shepherds and taken to the interior of the island. The wrecked Europeans became the first witnesses of the life of the Guanches mysterious tribes that inhabited the Canary Islands from time immemorial… But we will start our story differently. The whole world knows that in 1492 the Genoese navigator Cristobal Colon crossed the Atlantic and set foot on the land of the New World. Everyone knows what followed. However, not everyone knows that the American Indians were not the first victims of European colonization. A hundred years before Columbus, the conquerors from Castile and Normandy (the sonorous name “conquistador”, for unknown reasons, does not apply to them, it will appear later, during the first post-Columbian voyages to America) rehearsed the coming conquest of the New World. The methods and means of this “small colonization” would do credit to the future Cortes and Pizarros. Only the territory for the captures here, in the Canaries, was more suitable, and it was not necessary to cross the dangerous Atlantic Ocean. Here they are these islands, very close, off the northwestern coast of Africa! The Canary Islands, lying at the crossroads of the sea routes of three continents, in the 15th century became the scene of the most brutal war of extermination, fatal for the Guanches, the indigenous population of these fragments of land in the Atlantic. Since then, for about six hundred years, the secret of the Guanches has existed. So the unsolved mystery. …Green as a grasshopper, a long scheduled Mercedes runs briskly along the coast, climbs a serpentine, slipping half a kilometer tunnels in the mountains. German tourists in T-shirts and shorts lazily glance around. There is nothing to look at – everywhere there are gray rocks, stunted bushes, sea and sky. Everything is the same as it was then, five hundred years ago. Only people are different. Who were they those who lived here? Africans? Europeans? Or maybe people from the New World? Hundreds of authors tried to answer these questions during all six hundred years of acquaintance with the riddle of the Guanches. The bibliography of the history of the islands includes thousands of books, articles, notes in scientific, popular science and the cheapest pseudoscientific publications chasing sensations. Blonds with an obscure past… A great topic for all sorts of pseudo-scientific speculations and constructions that did not bring one iota closer to unraveling the origin of the indigenous population of the Canary Islands! Yes, the Guanches were blond-haired and blue-eyed giants. But did only they live in the Canary Islands in ancient times? True Guanches inhabited only two islands Tenerife and Gran Canaria, while the other four of the seven were inhabited by representatives of other peoples. This is just one example of a superficial approach to a fascinating and extraordinarily complex problem. Werner, the German engineer we talked to on the way from Balito Beach to Las Palmas, knows about the past of the islands from his Geo and Merian magazines. Read about the Guanches. He also wants to visit the Canaries Museum. I came here for treatment. Blessed land! Doctors advise spending one or two months a year in Gran Canaria, and I forget about all the sores, especially skin ones. Truly happy islands. That is what they were called in ancient times. Well, the ancients knew what they were doing. The first secret Where does the purple come from? You can literally list on the fingers of the ancient authors whose works contain any detailed references to the Canary Islands. Pliny the Elder, Diodorus Siculus, Pseudo-Aristotle, Plutarch, Pomponius Mela, Homer, Hesiod, Rufius Festus Avien, Seneca… There may be other information, but they are already secondary and later in relation to these classics of ancient Canarian studies. So, Pliny the Elder, Natural History. “… Not exactly rumors about the islands of Mauritania. Some, as it became known quite recently, lie against the land of autolols, they were discovered by Yuba, who set up the first workshops on them for dyeing fabrics with Getul purple . .. ”Here we need to make the first footnote. The Numidian ruler Yubu II, who lived in the 1st century BC, is often mentioned by ancient authors. The territory of his possessions adjoined the Atlantic coast at the same latitude as the Canaries, and who, if not him, knew better about what was happening on the islands. Unfortunately, Yuba himself did not leave any written evidence, and we learn about his visits to the islands from ancient authors. According to the English historian E. Banbury, the purple workshops arranged by Yuba could be located on two eastern islands – Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Now a word to Diodorus Siculus, Historical Library: “In the middle of the ocean, opposite Africa, there is an island distinguished by its size. It is only a few days’ journey from Africa… The Phoenicians, who explored the lands on the other side of the Pillars and sailed along the coast of Africa, were blown far into the ocean by strong winds. After long days of wandering, they finally reached the named island. But who exactly are “they”? Who did Diodorus mean? The Carthaginian admiral Hanno, who reached the Gulf of Guinea in the 6th century BC, or his predecessors? Or maybe followers? But we only know about Gannon… Of course, the Canary Islands attracted the Phoenicians with their natural gifts, in particular, litmus dyes. In ancient times, there were few such stable dyes. The secret of the production of the famous Tyrian purple has not yet been unraveled. Meanwhile, in the Canary Islands, the Orcella lichen (Orcella tinctoria), which contains a high quality dye, grew and grows. In antiquity and the Middle Ages, it was called “orizello grass”… What if this lichen is connected to the mystery of Tyrian purple production? In addition to orsel, the Canaries had another, no less valuable dye – the resin of the dragon tree, dracaena. And they also mined purple clams there. To which of them the islands owe their second name Purple? Not yet known. The discovery of purple has always been attributed to the Phoenicians, more precisely, Melqart, who, according to legend, was the first to get the shells of purple snails. In the ports of Phoenicia, piles of purple shells are found today. However, the coast of Syria could not “produce” goods in myriad quantities. It is known that each purple gives only a few drops of the precious liquid. And the Phoenicians began to look for a cluster of shells everywhere first in the eastern Mediterranean, then in the west, they went to Gibraltar, founding, according to Pliny, about 300 settlements. Then there were reports of Getulian purple. The Getuls were the shepherd tribes that lived south of the Roman dominions in Africa. Some of them, the Baniurs and the Autololians, according to Pliny again, lived on the coast of the ocean in the Atlas region. Pomponius Mela wrote that among the Negrites and the Gaetuli, a purple is produced, which gives a beautiful color, known in the world. Under the penultimate ruler of Mauritania, Yuba II, the production of Getul purple flourished. It was then that Yuba ordered the construction of dyers on the Purple Isles. Pliny was never able to say exactly which islands he was talking about. The only thing he claimed was that “from these islands it was possible to get to the Happy Isles with relative ease.” Today, Moroccan archaeologists have unmistakably determined their location directly opposite Cape Mogador. Now of them only the island of Mogador is distinguishable, the rest have been eaten by erosion, the ocean and sands. But the purple ones remained here: local women collect them and use them for food. In the 4th century, dye-works fell into disrepair, and over time, knowledge about Africa suddenly narrowed. They don’t seem to have increased since then, at least as far as this area is concerned, admits Werner. Tell me, for example, where did the word “Canaries” come from? From the canaries! The neighbor in front quickly turned around and temperamentally intervened in our conversation. Oh, if everything were so simple. Hall of mummies in the Canary Museum. Here is a collection that is unparalleled in the world. Second secret Why Canaries Canaries? Let us again give the floor to Pliny. “Shortly after the establishment of Roman rule in Mauritania, Suetonius Peacock (procurator) organized an expedition into the interior of the country this was the first penetration of the Romans into the Atlas Mountains. He described dense mountain forests, unknown trees, peaks covered with snow (doubtful fact), reached the river Ger, flowing through a desert of black sand and black mountains, as if after a fire, all kinds of creatures were found in the forests, and there lived a people called “canaria “… The area visited by Peacock is located on the same latitude as the Canaries. Is it not to this tribe that they owe their name? In Ptolemy we find mention of the region of Cannaria prom., located north of Cape Nun, at the latitude of the westernmost island of the Canary group. The tribes of Kamnurie lived there, the same as the Canaries. Isn’t there a clue to the name of the islands? So your canaries, Frau, got their name after the Canaries became Canaries. The beautiful city of Las Palmas is built along the sea, and its embankments are almost endless. We were convinced of this by deciding to walk from one area to another. We thought that we would spend twenty minutes, but this journey took hours. Of course, the history of Las Palmas is a topic for a separate story, especially since the fates of historical figures known to the whole planet are connected with many buildings here, but we were only concerned about one of them here – the Canaries Museum. After wandering through the “caye” a real labyrinth of alleys of the old part of the city, we came to Abreu i Galindo street. It is clear that the museum was supposed to stand on it, because it is named after the famous scientist who revealed many secrets of the ancient Canarians. It was he who reminded the world of one very beautiful and mysterious story. Secret of the third Sons of Atlantis? The Canary Islands are historically and culturally closely connected with Northwest Africa. And therefore about the Saharan Atlantis. Its history began with a fantastic work. At 19In 1919, Pierre Benoit’s novel “Atlantis” was published, which was sold in large numbers. (By the way, it was released in the “Library” Around the World “in a new translation.) Its plot is as follows. Two French officers, lost in the desert, after long wanderings, find themselves in an oasis where a majestic castle rises from huge boulders. Tired travelers are met by their compatriot who got here earlier. He shows them the interior of the castle, a luxurious library, and most importantly, introduces them to the mistress of the palace. It turns out that this is the mistress of the famous people of the Atlanteans Antinea. P. Benois placed his Atlantis in the desert, among the rocks of the Ahaggar mountain range. Apparently, he knew about the discoveries in the Sahara, was aware of the unsuccessful search for the legendary mainland . .. The public accepted the novel with enthusiasm. Eight years have passed. The expedition of the French archaeologist de Prophet carried out excavations in the western Ahaggar, not far from Abelessa, just in the places where the action of the novel unfolds. Among the rocks covered with sand, de Prophet came across the ruins of ancient structures, among which a burial ground built of huge boulders stood out in particular. Nearby stood a monument, from where the colonnade led to the temple building. In the floor, disguised with a leather rug, was the entrance to the underground crypt, where the grave of a high-ranking female person was located. The interior of the tomb was striking in its splendor – stone decorations, figurines from the Paleolithic of the Sahara, ostrich feathers, and most importantly – a gold coin that could be accurately dated. It belonged to the era of the Roman emperor Flavius ​​Valerius Constantine I (306 337 AD). So, the burial was pre-Arab. They immediately remembered Benois’ novel. Historical reality intertwined with fantasy. Having survived the first excitement, scientists tried to explain the findings. A recently discovered legend of the Tuareg Kelahaggar tribe about their famous progenitor Tin-Hinnan surfaced. The daughter of the chief Tin-Hinnan, a Berber woman of noble birth, expelled from the country with her servant Takamat, came to Ahaggar and became the ancestor of the noble tribe of Kelahaggar, and Takamar the progenitor of the vassal tribe of Imrad. Scientists identified the heroine of the Tuareg legend with an unknown mistress discovered by the archaeologist Baron de Prophet. Thus, Benoit’s novel, the finds of de Prophet and the legend of Tin-Hinnan gave rise to a logically paradoxical chain of fiction and scientific facts, which helps to shed light on the history of the Saharan peoples. Naturally, no one will associate the mistress Abelessa with the queen of the Atlanteans P. Benois. There is also little reason to look for Plato’s Atlantis in the Sahara. But if we assume that both the ancient authors, and the scientific tradition of modern times, and P. Benois himself meant by the Atlanteans a certain Eastern Mediterranean people genetically related to the Greeks (more precisely, the Aegeans of the late III early II millennium BC), then this version can have the right to exist. The memory of the ancient Guanches is preserved in the Canarian Museum. I dreamed of getting here for a long time, when I was just starting to study the history of the Canary Islands. Maybe here I will find the answer to other mysteries related to the distant past of the Canaries? Fourth secretWho are you, “peoples of the sea”? They were not only on the frescoes of Ancient Egypt, but also on the rock paintings of the Sahara – white chariot riders. And they are not like the Hyksos who invaded Egypt in 1200 BC and settled in Cyrenaica. Clothing, weapons and armor, the type of chariots and, finally, the physical appearance leave no doubt that these are newcomers from the north from the regions of the eastern Mediterranean. We are talking about the campaigns of the “peoples of the sea” at the end of the XIV century BC. It was then that large military detachments from the Aegean basin invaded Libya and Egypt. Dr. S. Jimenez-Sanchez, the museum curator on duty, walks with me through the halls and tries to explain in broken English who was part of the “Sea Peoples”. I ask him to speak in his native Spanish, but not so impulsively, and then everything will be clear, especially since the topic is familiar to me. So, there is an assumption that the “peoples of the sea” included warriors from the Atlas region. The first Egyptian pharaoh who won several victories over aliens was Merneptah (1251 1231 BC). The news of this was conveyed by inscriptions in the temples. But the tribes of the “peoples of the sea”, having managed to mix enough with the local Libyan tribes, held out for quite a long time in Egypt, until the army of Ramses III inflicted a crushing defeat on them in the area of ​​\u200b\u200btoday’s El Alamein in 1200 BC (1189-th according to other sources). But even after that, the pharaoh was forced to settle them in the delta, where they lived, not recognizing anyone’s power over them. If you carefully study the rock paintings of the Sahara, you can trace some of the routes that the “people of the chariots” went into the depths of the desert. Some of them, gradually dissolving in the local population, reached Niger. What about the other groups? Do you know their fate? I ask Dr. Sanchez. People have always said about them: “Mysterious, enigmatic, unknown…” And there is no exaggeration in these epithets. We really do not yet know where they came from, what their end is. We are talking about the so-called Garamantes, who were known by Herodotus and Tacitus, Pomponius Mela and Seneca. Lucian and Strabo. The culture of the Garamantes, who lived in antiquity in the expanses of the desert that had not yet dried up to the end, was basically Liv Berber, with elements brought from the Aegean world. In recent years, scientists have managed to somewhat clarify the ethnic composition of the “peoples of the sea. ” Among them were the Achaeans, Danaans, Sardis, Lycians and, of course, the Cretans, known to the ancient Egyptians for a long time – “Keftiu”. All of them significantly influenced the anthropological and linguistic environment of North Africa, and, quite naturally, the Canary Islands were also included here. Therefore, the participation of the descendants of the “peoples of the sea” in the formation of the Canarian ethnos seems to scientists to be very plausible and quite convincing. The fifth secret Is it possible to whistle with an accent? What language did the ancient Canarians speak? Of course, not in Spanish. It was related to both Berber and some West African dialects. Dr. Sanchez can talk about this for hours. But now I am interested in something else – a miraculously surviving relic of ancient times – the whistling language, which is still common among the inhabitants of one of the Canary Islands – the island of Gomera. Even the monks Bontier and Le Verrier wrote that the inhabitants of the islands “speak with their lips, as if they had no tongue, and some ruler exiled them here as a punishment, tearing out their tongues. ” In fact, language plays a very important role in whistling, the professor explains. At the end of the last century, the German ethnographer Kedenfeld studied the mysterious means of communication of the Homers. “They can convey any thought with the help of a whistle,” wrote the scientist, “and at a distance of up to a thousand meters, that is, even when the cry does not make sense.” During the wars, this whistle helped the Canarians a lot, they “whistled” the danger in advance, and in peacetime they announced the beginning of the festivities and other events. This whistle, says Dr. Sanchez, can be of various shades. Kedenfeld did an experiment by placing two inhabitants of the island at a distance of 50 meters from each other. He passed the question to one of the subjects, who whistled it to his partner. Both people had never before spoken to each other in the language of a whistle, and besides, there was a strong wind, but the result of the experiment was recognized as satisfactory. The whistling language on Homer Island is not unique in itself. A well-known method of communication with the help of drums in various parts of Africa, when the news is knocked out by a simple code at a distance of tens of kilometers from village to village. Bushmen of the Kalahari communicate using fire smoke. The Gurunsi-nankanse tribe in the bend of the Niger had a flute, with the help of which the nomads spoke at a great distance from each other. The Whistling Village was discovered in Turkey in the 1960s. Surely new similar discoveries will follow, and, of course, in mountainous areas. Scientists have to find out many questions: how ordinary phrases are translated into the language of whistling, how combinations of whistling modulations are born… Is this really not done yet?! I wonder. Imagine. You can sign up for a future expedition to Homer Island.

You just have to be ready for it. This is Tenerife – a place of constant movement. It’s hard to say which floors are quieter. On the sixth it was audible decently. Check in took a little time. There were no Russian speakers at the reception that day. But they speak very good English. All rooms face one side – the ocean. From the sixth floor you can see the ocean, sunsets on the balcony. The room is not small, a decent balcony with a table and two chairs. Fridge. There are no other related items. They bought a corkscrew in a shop nearby, they also took water there. Shops within walking distance. Quite a few cafes. The choice of dishes is almost the same everywhere. Prices are also in the same range. The embankment is about 550 meters away. The slowest step is no more than 12 minutes. You can walk both to the left of the hotel and to the right. Right behind the Hotel’s fence there is a large free public parking lot. You can get to it through the gate from the pool. About 15 parking spaces right in front of the reception. We have never had any problems with parking. I can’t rate the pool. We left immediately after breakfast and returned at sunset. I saw that in the morning Foreigners were throwing towels on sunbeds, which are quite a lot. The animation is basic but fun. Evening bar with performances is not very big. Standard European breakfast without frills. Right at the entrance there is a table with freshly squeezed juices, at least four types. Didn’t have to wait for any food to be served. Separately, you can order an omelet with 4 ingredients, or fried eggs. Sometimes I had to wait, but not for long. Yoghurts and fruits always. From fruits apples, bananas, oranges and kiwi. Delicious pancakes with honey or chocolate paste. Coffee and tea from the machine. Delicious coffee with milk. From tension – constant traffic in front of the hotel. Even at night, the movement does not stop and the roar of engines is heard. But after an active day, we slept normally with the balcony closed.

This is how we spent our first night. On the second day, at our request, we were fortunately moved to a nice room overlooking the pool, where it was already quiet, calm and comfortable. There is no wi-fi in the gym (and when you run on a treadmill or ellipsoid, you just have to look at the wall!) Breakfasts and dinners are good, but without a lot of choice and special frills.

You can sail on the ocean expanses on a yacht, a catamaran or a stylized pirate ship. Dolphins, toothed whales, sperm whales and sea turtles can be spotted in the coastal waters. In addition, boat trips provide an opportunity to admire the amazing landscapes of Tenerife from the ocean, as well as to get a wonderful even tan. Photographing dolphins is certainly included in the program of any boat trip, because here they are found everywhere. Off the coast of Las Americas, black dolphins are most often seen, and near Los Gigantes, you can most likely meet bottlenose dolphins. Watching their games and jumps will certainly bring genuine pleasure to all viewers. In addition, sailing programs usually include swimming in the ocean, lunch, and often even entertainment shows. The duration of boat trips is very diverse: from 40 minutes to 7 hours, and you can not only swim around Tenerife, but also go on a trip to one of the other islands of the archipelago, for example, to the nearest La Gomera (La Gomera). In addition, you can organize a multi-day sea trip with a visit to several neighboring islands. You can go on a boat trip from the port Puerto Colon (Puerto Colon) to Las Americas, where the largest selection of yachts and pleasure boats is presented. The boat trip can also be started from the ports Los Cristianos or Los Gigantes . In addition, Tenerife has a unique opportunity to see the underwater world of the Atlantic Ocean. From the yacht port San Miguel (San Miguel Marina) in the southern town of Golf del Sur (Golf del Sur) four times a day, a real submarine goes to scuba diving. The dive is absolutely safe and extremely exciting, this is a real adventure in the depths of the ocean. Through the portholes of the yellow submarine, you can observe the diversity of the underwater world, including the majestic large stingrays. In addition, a broadcast from the external cameras of the submarine is on board, and the instructor accompanying the tour is ready to answer all questions about the inhabitants of the ocean and the technical equipment of the submarine. An underwater walk in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean will not leave anyone indifferent and will leave vivid memories of yourself for a long time. A boat trip in Tenerife is a safe and relaxing experience: in case of bad weather or stormy forecasts, pleasure boats will never go out into the ocean. This is a whole adventure for lovers of romance, wonderful views and fresh sea breeze, which will certainly be remembered by meetings with marine life and joyful emotions. Flamenco show National traits and characteristics are always accurately conveyed by art, and the passionate freedom-loving character of the Spaniards is extremely accurately embodied through flamenco. Flamenco is one of the main symbols of Spain, it is a dizzying extravaganza of music, dance and songs. The art of flamenco was formed many centuries ago, under the influence of various cultures: Moorish, Byzantine, Jewish, Gypsy, Indian and Andalusian. The very name “flamenco” is associated with the gypsies who settled in Andalusia in the 15th century: these nomads called themselves “flamencos”. Flamenco became widely accepted in Spanish fashion at the end of the 18th century, and gained worldwide fame in 1921, when it was included in the program of Russian ballet performances in Paris. Nowadays, flamenco is very popular both in Spain and abroad. It is said that it is impossible to feel the spirit of Spain without seeing flamenco, and on the island of Tenerife this is a wonderful opportunity. Here, in the Piramide de Arona concert hall, you can enjoy a bright and temperamental show with a worldwide reputation. The creator of the show is one of the world’s best choreographers (and former dancers) of the Spanish ballet Carmen Mota. She became famous back in 1977, having traveled all over Spain, Europe and Canada with her own dance group. Carmen Mota’s flamenco shows now take place on a permanent basis in Malaga, Monte Carlo, Lebanon and Tenerife, in one of the most majestic buildings on the island, reminiscent of an ancient Greek temple. Spectators of this show can enjoy not only Spanish folk dances and classical flamenco, but also in the second part of the performance – a whole theatrical action, a real musical based on flamenco. Carmen Mota’s flamenco show is a real celebration of Spanish rhythms, a riot of colors, passionate dance and great music that will impress even the most sophisticated spectator. Fishing The coastal waters of Tenerife are full of a wide variety of fish: mackerels, barracudas, rays and even several species of sharks. Not surprisingly, sport fishing in the ocean is one of the most popular activities on the island. It is worth noting that for the Guanches (the ancient inhabitants of the island who inhabited it before the arrival of the Spaniards), fishing was an extremely important occupation and one of the main ways of subsistence. Fishing in Tenerife is possible both in shallow water and in the open ocean. All necessary rods and tackle can be purchased from local shops. For example, in the city of Las Galletas at the address: Avenida de Fernando Alazar Gonzáles, Las Galletas. The store is located opposite the Alborada commercial center. You can catch Spanish and king mackerel, bluefish, yellowtail and other fish near the shore, and even a large stingray at night. It bites on the island throughout the year, and most of the fish are edible. However, you should be wary of hedgehog fish, as well as a sea dragon, whose spikes are poisonous. You can fish from the shore on any beach on the island, however, without a fishing license, the entire catch, according to local law, has to be released back into the ocean. Of course, in order to catch big fish, you need to go deep, and many people prefer fishing from the sides of a boat equipped with the necessary tackle and accessories. Here, tourists are given rods and tackle, as well as bait, and experienced instructors teach beginners how to properly use fishing equipment. Fishing boats, of course, have the necessary licenses, so the caught fish can be kept for yourself and cooked for dinner. Fishing from a boat most often lasts 4 to 7 hours and can often be supplemented with boat trips, swimming and watching whales, dolphins or large turtles, making it an interesting option for families. You can go on a group fishing trip with other tourists, or you can rent the whole boat with the team on your own. Fishing boats are based in Las Americas (port of Puerto Colon), in the port of Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes (port of Puerto de los Gigantes).

It’s also the most accessible of the island’s archaeological sites, situated not halfway up a cliff but right in the heart of town (it is wheelchair-friendly also). The highlight is the cave itself, fully explained on the tour. Top ChoiceSights in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Casa-Museo de Colón This fascinating museum documents Columbus’ voyages and features exhibits on the Canary Islands’ historical role as a staging post for transatlantic shipping. Don’t miss the large section of model galleons (‘La Niña’) on the ground floor, which particularly impresses children with its working detail. The crucifix is said to have come from Columbus’ ship. In the next room are models of all three of Columbus’ ships: La Niña, La Pinta and the Santa María. Top ChoiceSights in Parque Nacional del Teide Pico del Teide The cable car provides the easiest way to get up to the peak of El Teide. The views are great – unless a big cloud is covering the peak, in which case you won’t see a thing. On clear days the volcanic valley spreads out majestically below, and you can see the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro peeking up from the Atlantic. It takes just eight minutes to zip up 1200m. Top ChoiceSights in Central Lanzarote Fundación César Manrique Upon returning definitively to Lanzarote, César Manrique built his spectacular house and creative centre, Taro de Tahíche, into the lava fields just outside Tahíche. It’s a real James Bond-style hideaway, with whitewashed walls, a sunken pool, bursts of bougainvillea and cacti, and white- and red-leather seats slotted into cavelike dens; upper levels are inspired by traditional Lanzarote architecture, while subterranean rooms are crafted from five huge air bubbles left by flowing lava. Manrique lived here from 1968 to 1988. Top ChoiceSights in Parque Nacional de Timanfaya Parque Nacional de Timanfaya Lanzarote’s most spectacular sight, the eerie 51-sq-km Parque Nacional de Timanfaya sprawls around the Montañas del Fuego (Mountains of Fire) formed by the calamitous six-year eruption that rocked the south of the island from 1730. Almost entirely bereft of life – apart from 200 species of lichen – this bare moonscape is an otherworldly vision in copper, black and grey, with thin soil trickling down volcanic cones to meet fields of frozen-in-time lava and a boiling magma chamber 4km beneath the surface. Top ChoiceSights in Santa Cruz de la Palma Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves For splendid views down the valley to Santa Cruz, put aside time to tackle the 4km uphill hike north of town to La Palma’s main object of pilgrimage, the 17th-century Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves with its fabulously ornate interior. The wooden Mudéjar-carved ceiling, sculptures and sparkling crystal chandeliers are the precursor to the 82cm-tall Virgin Mary herself, surrounded by a glittering altar. The 14th-century sculpture is the oldest religious statue in the Canary Islands and the object of deep veneration. Top ChoiceSights in Cofete Playa de Cofete This is the main beach in far-flung Cofete, near the southern tip of the island and the main draw on the island for many. It’s huge, quite beautiful and entirely undeveloped, with fine honey-coloured sand and a rumbling backdrop of relentless Atlantic rollers and the turquoise ocean. Think twice about swimming here: the waves and currents are more formidable than the generally calmer waters on the other side of the island. If you know what you’re doing and have your own gear, it’s a good spot for surfers. Top ChoiceSights in Cofete Villa Winter This impressive structure, with its castle-like turret, was built by German engineer Gustav Winter in the 1930s. Rumours linking Winter to the Nazi party have never been confirmed, but conspiracy theories regarding Villa Winter abound. You can drive your car up to the mansion and then walk the last 100m or so. A caretaker lives here and for a small tip he may show you around the house, though when we last visited there was just a donation box left out at the entrance. Top ChoiceSights in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Catedral de Santa Ana & Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro The spiritual heart of the city, this brooding, grey cathedral was begun in the early 15th century, soon after the Spanish conquest, but took 350 years to complete. The neoclassical facade contrasts with the sunlight-through-stained-glass-dappled interior, which is a fine example of what some art historians have named Atlantic Gothic, with lofty columns that seem to mimic the palm trees outside. You can also admire several paintings by Juan de Miranda, the Canary Islands’ most-respected 18th-century artist. Top ChoiceSights in Central La Palma Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente Declared a national park in 1954, this beautiful park is at the heart of La Palma, both geographically and symbolically. Extending across 46.9 sq km, the park encompasses thick Canary pine forests, a wealth of freshwater springs and streams, waterfalls, impressive rock formations and many kilometres of hiking trails. Although you can reach a few miradors by car, you’ll need to explore on foot to really experience the park at its best. Top ChoiceSights in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (TEA) The highlights of this dramatic contemporary building are the architecture, its three galleries and the stunning library downstairs. The galleries display temporary exhibitions of art, photography and installation works, including the creative output of up-and-coming Spanish artists reflecting edgy, contemporary themes. The building was designed by the Swiss architects and Pritzker Prize Laureates Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, famed for their innovative construction, with a prestigious portfolio that includes London’s Tate Modern. Top ChoiceSights in Fuencaliente Volcán San Antonio Visitor Centre & Volcán San Antonio The visitor centre is your first stop if you want to explore the volcanoes. Displays are well-captioned and informative, but the layout is not very imaginative and rather dated. It’s far more interesting to head out and walk along a section of the rim of Volcán San Antonio, a yawning chasm of this great black cone, which last blew in 1949 and has now been repopulated by hardy Canarian pines. The crater is also a superb stargazing viewpoint. Top ChoiceSights in Maspalomas Dunas de Maspalomas These fabulous dunes cover 400 hectares and were designated a nature reserve in the 1990s, ensuring that the rapidly multiplying hotels would never encroach on their golden grains. The best view of the dunes is from the bottom of Avenida Tirajana: stroll through the arches of the Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas to the balcony, which is surrounded by a botanical garden displaying shrubs and plants native to the Canaries. There’s a small information office here too (open 10am to 1pm Monday to Friday). Sights in Parque Nacional del Teide Pico Viejo Calling this mountain ‘Old Peak’ is something of a slight misnomer considering it was actually the last of Tenerife’s volcanoes to have erupted on a grand scale. In 1798 its southwestern flank tore open, leaving a 700m gash. Today you can clearly see where fragments of magma shot over 1km into the air and fell pell-mell, while torrents of lava gushed from a secondary, lower wound to congeal on the slopes. Top ChoiceSights in La Oliva Casa de los Coroneles This 18th-century building has been beautifully restored, retaining its traditional central patio and wooden galleries, while other buildings on the estate have collapsed around it. The ground floor houses an exhibition on women and agriculture, while upstairs you’ll find exhibits on the history of the building itself and the island. Don’t miss the simple and very small chapel with its original tiled floor and minute cross above the door. In the distance, the volcano-shaped mountain is a sublime spectacle. Top ChoiceSights in Parque Nacional de Garajonay Parque Nacional de Garajonay La Gomera’s prime attraction, the magical, often-misty Parque Nacional de Garajonay extends across 40 sq km of dense, primeval laurisilva forest at the heart of the island, where warm breezes collide with Atlantic trade winds. A national park since 1981 and a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1986, this mountainscape carpeted much of the Mediterranean millions of years ago (surviving here because the last Ice Age didn’t reach the Canary Islands), and provides outstanding hiking opportunities. Top ChoiceSights in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Auditorio de Tenerife This magnificent, soaring white wave of an auditorium was designed by the internationally renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and delivers shades of the Sydney Opera House, plus superb acoustics. Guided 45-minute tours (€7.50; reserved in advance by telephone) in English, German or Spanish take you behind the scenes of the remarkable building. Top ChoiceSights in Puerto de la Cruz Jardín Botánico Established in 1788, this magnificent botanical garden has thousands of plant varieties from all over the world and is a delightful place to while away an afternoon smelling the roses. As well as the major collections of tropical and subtropical plants, there’s a wide variety of palms, a fragrant herb garden and a giant 200-year-old Australian Moreton Bay fig. Top ChoiceSights in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Biblioteca Municipal Central de Santa Cruz de Tenerife This library downstairs at TEA is a design classic, a vast open-plan room with overhanging globular lights, copious natural light, angular lines and a sharp contemporary feel, all fashioned with a sense of uncluttered space that all libraries should emulate. If you’re footsore, there are quiet cubicles (and sofas outside) where you can sit, read or have a snooze, and books and magazines for browsing, including some in English. A kids’ library is downstairs Top ChoiceSights in Teror Museum of the Basílica Nuestra Señora del Pino Don’t miss this museum (also called the ‘treasure house’), accessed upstairs from the rear of the basilica, where you can get a real close-up view of the Virgin and see the armfuls of unusual items gifted by the devout. There’s also a room displaying the outfits she’s worn through the ages (a new dress is premiered each year during the fiesta held in her honour) – however, the standout image is of the Virgin herself, with child, set upon a brilliantly burnished silver throne. 1 2 3 … 21 15 Best things to do and places to visit in the Canary Islands What are the must-see places in the Canary Islands?

Siam Park, the best waterpark in the Canaries Wave Palace at Siam Park If you’re into water parks, then Siam Park (located in Tenerife) is the only one that matters. It was voted as the best waterpark in the world 2 years in a row by Tripadvisor users and in our opinion, it is the best water park in Spain. It is definitely worth a visit for the thrilling rides and amazing gardens. During the summer months and school holidays, it can get very crowded and the queues are long, so it’s better to buy a fast pass.

Garajonay National Park – La Gomera The park is the symbol of La Gomera, which is the closest island to Tenerife (see more info in our article about the location of the Canary Islands). Walking in these forests is very easy and be prepared for some enchanting spots, almost too picture-perfect. Although there are lots of hikes and treks that you can do while in La Gomera, nothing beats Garajonay National Park as the best place to visit in La Gomera. If you are on holiday in Tenerife you can visit La Gomera on a day trip, to see the islands’ highlights.  BOOK ONLINEFrom South Tenerife: La Gomera Island Tour Pickup from the south of Tenerife Transfers & ferry (with live tour guide) Lunch at Mirador Abrante Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts 5. Visit the world-famous Loro Park – Tenerife Located in the city of Puerto de la Cruz, in the north of Tenerife, Loro Parque needs no introduction, as it’s probably the island’s most popular attraction and also the no 1 zoo in the world according to Tripadvisor (in 2017 and 2018). We visited Loro Park twice and it’s a nice day out for both kids and adults, with lots of things to learn about the animal species inside the park. There are also several shows included in the ticket price, which you can attend while you’re there.

Explore Teide National Park – Tenerife’s symbol View of Mount Teide, Tenerife Mount Teide is the symbol of Tenerife and our top recommendation for things to do in Tenerife. Even if you’re not a hiker and you don’t want to go up to the summit, you should still do a day tour through the park to learn more about the island’s volcanic history. Mount Teide is one of the most important attractions in the Canary Islands and the highest peak in Spain. The park is also Spain’s most visited National Park and it is (still) free to visit, so you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful places in the Canary Islands. BOOK ONLINEMount Teide: Tour with Cable Car Ticket Includes transport from the North and South of the island Official guide Includes Teide cable car ticket Discover the most visited National Park in Spain 7. Jameos del Agua – Lanzarote Jameos del Agua, a must see in the Canary Islands, on the island of Lanzarote Jameos del Agua is a unique place in Lanzarote, where you get to see an underground lake with white crabs and an auditorium built inside a volcanic cave. Sounds interesting and intriguing, right? You can even go to Jameos del Agua in the evening for a special dinner and a concert if you really want to enjoy a unique experience. Very close to Jameos del Agua you can also visit Cueva de Los Verdes, another interesting spot in Lanzarote and the two places can be visited in the same day as part of a day trip. BOOK ONLINEVolcanoes and Caves: Full-Day Tour of Lanzarote Duration 9 – 10 hours Includes entrance to Timanfaya National Park & Jameos del Agua Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts 8. Corralejo Dunes and Corralejo Grandes Playas – Fuerteventura Corralejo Grandes Playas Corralejo Dunes are situated in the north of Fuerteventura and they are one of the main attractions on the island. With fine and almost white sand, the dunes are visited by people all over the island and the beach provides a beautiful view towards the small island of Los Lobos. Don’t miss out on at least a day of explore the beautiful beaches, especially Flag beach. 9. Short hike to Roque Nuble – Gran Canaria A must-see place in the Canary Islands – Roque Nublo, one of the symbols of Gran Canaria Roque Nuble is an emblematic spot in Gran Canaria, a large volcanic rock, representing the third-highest spot on the island. The hike to reach Roque Nublo is relatively short and easy, while finding parking might prove to be the most difficult step. On clear days you get fantastic views which include Roque Bentaiga, the surrounding valleys and mountains of Gran Canaria, as well as even Mount Teide in Tenerife, which looks especially majestic during the winter months when its peak is covered in snow. 10. Visit Masca, one of the most charming villages in the Canary Islands One of our top places to visit in the Canary Islands is hidden in the mountains of Tenerife: the tiny village of Masca Masca is a small village almost hidden inland in Tenerife. Despite its location, the village is now pretty popular and it does get busy and crowded especially during school holidays. The drive is also a bit challenging, so if you think it’s not for you, look for a tour or take the bus, but don’t miss the chance to see this place.  11. Relax for a day at Playa de Amadores – Gran Canaria Amadores Beach If you’re in Gran Canaria for a family holiday, then this is the best beach for you. Or at least this is what we personally think about this place, that it’s perfect for families with children. That’s why this beach with crystal clear waters is also included on our list of what to do in Gran Canaria for a great holiday. 12. Visit Timanfaya National Park, one of the main attractions in Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park is one of the top places to visit in the Canary Islands Timanfaya is one of the most important points of interest in the Canary Islands and a visit to Lanzarote would not be complete without taking the bus tour through the volcanic park. The tour lasts for around 45 – 60 minutes and afterward you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant located inside the park where they cook the chicken using the heat coming from inside the volcano. The archipelago is full of fascinating landscapes and views and we will soon add more places to see in the Canary Islands and more things to do. Meanwhile you can browse our list of recommendations for the best beaches in the Canary Islands. 13. Discover the amazing beaches in Jandia, Fuerteventura Some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands are located in Fuerteventura The southern part of Fuerteventura is famous for its amazing beaches, with endless miles of fine sand and views that are to die for. No matter where you are staying in Fuerteventura, don’t miss a trip to see Playa de Cofete. It’s best to hire a car and explore on your own, so this way you will be able to make your own program and spend however much time at each beach. Playa Barca (part of Sotavento beach) is A MUST, but go there when the tide is low in order to see the massive tidal lagoon that forms on the beach. 14. Caldera de Taburiente National Park – La Palma If you’re going to La Palma, don’t miss a trip to Caldera de Taburiente National Park. Watch the sea of clouds and get fascinated by the amazing view from the top. There are many hiking trails also in La Palma, so it’s a great place to visit if you are after an active holiday. 15. El Hierro, a tiny remote island in the Atlantic If you are looking for a different kind of holiday, away from the world while still in a safe location, then you must visit El Hierro. This tiny island is connected to Tenerife by a ferry that runs once a day (except Saturdays). There is no way to compare El Hierro to Tenerife, Gran Canaria, or the other popular places in the Canary Islands. Visiting El Hierro is probably one of the most unique things to do in the Canary Islands, as the island only receives around 20,000 visitors per year. This means that here you won’t find crowded places or busy clubs like on Veronica’s Strip. So if you want to recharge your batteries while exploring a small and volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, look no further than El Hierro.

It was love at first sight when I came to the Canary Islands 15 years ago. I was awestruck by the golden, savage sands of Fuerteventura’s Cofete Beach and felt transported to another world while hiking through La Gomera’s wooded canopy trails.   Even with dozens of visits under my belt, I keep returning. In my opinion, nowhere else comes close to the majesty of the Canaries. Mostly because there are just so many incredible things to do, whether I want to spend my vacation wine tasting in volcanic vineyards, snorkeling the clear waters of El Hierro’s marine reserve, or relaxing on a beach and watching my child play in the warm, inviting sands of Gran Canaria’s tranquil beach coves. With so many islands, landscapes, and attractions, it may be difficult to decide exactly which to visit. Here’s a quick primer on what to expect on each of the seven main islands: Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the largest islands, with many activities beyond beaches. These islands are where you’ll find the most activity options, both local and tourist-catered. Fuerteventura is all about white-sand beaches. Lanzarote is known for its wineries and cultural activities. The smaller islands of La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro are where to go for a remote escape. They boast magnificent natural wonders like untamed laurel forests, rushing waterfalls, marine reserves, and secluded black-sand beach coves, but not much else in the way of amenities. Based on more than a decade of visits, here’s my go-to guide on the best things to do on each island.  The best things to do on Tenerife The family-owned winery was established in 1750. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Savor a wine tasting Each time I travel to Tenerife, I always squeeze in a stop at my preferred winery, Bodegas Monje. I recommend starting with a guided visit to learn about the history and wine-making methods of this island and particular winery, a family-owned spot that dates back to 1750. Then, stay and taste some of its best-known blends, like my personal favorite, the salty Hollera red made from the listán negro grapes. I think Bodegas Monje has one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces on the island for watching the sunset — the expansive view of the vines, clouds, and sea is unbeatable. Teide volcano’s summit is the highest point in Spain. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Ride the cable car to the top of Spain’s highest volcano Taking the cable car to the top of the Teide Volcano, Spain’s highest peak, is a must for first-time visitors. The cable cars offer views of the volcano as you fly high above the clouds, and I think the drive to the base of the volcano where you pick up the cable car is just as mesmerizing, amid a landscape of red rocks and craters. Bring layers to wear as it’s much chillier at the top, even when it’s swimming weather back down at sea level. Anaga Rural Park has a variety of scenic forest hikes that range from easy to difficult, Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Head into the forest for a lush hike For forest hikes ranging from easy to difficult, visit Anaga Rural Park, which takes me back to the summer I spent in Costa Rica, complete with tropical mist and jungle canopied paths. The park has many trails that pass through high peaks, sweeping green ravines, rocky paths, and panoramic viewpoints. My favorite thing about hiking here is the intermittent majestic sea views observed among all the other grand scenery. Teresitas Beach is one of the few white-sand beaches near Tenerife’s capital. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Sunbathe on the best beaches in Tenerife Beach enthusiasts have their pick on Tenerife of exotic black-sand beaches with roaring ocean waves or golden coves made for relaxing.  Up north, Teresitas Beach is where the locals hang out, as it’s one of the few white-sand beaches near the capital. Tourists often skip this beach because the north of the island can be cloudy and cooler. But if weather permits on a coveted sunny day, the sands of Teresitas practically glow in the sunlight. El Duque and Las Vistas beaches in the south are favorites for the amenities available, such as beach chairs, restrooms, water sports, and nearby restaurants and bars — and most important, practically guaranteed sunshine. Surfers should head to the windy El Médano Beach, lined with surf schools and board rentals. I usually park myself on Medano’s sands to admire the jaw-dropping tricks the kitesurfers perform as they glide over the crashing waves. My favorite beach is Los Guíos, which sits below the illustrious Gigantes Cliffs. Sitting in the shadow of these colossal rocky precipices as imposing ocean waves crash against the black-sand beach makes for an experience unlike any other. Another standout black-sand beach is El Bollullo in the north, with its inky sands and volcanic stones alongside tube-like waves that are ideal for bodyboarding. The best things to do on Gran Canaria The clifftop path is lined with tropical flowers with a scenic view of the sea. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Take a stroll along a cliffside path and visit a peaceful beach cove Gran Canaria is another one of the larger Canary Islands with lots to do and see, especially around its capital of Las Palmas. Though the capital features a beautiful stretch of white-sand beaches, the most inviting ones, in my opinion, are in the south of the island. I love taking my little one to beach coves like Puerto Rico and Amadores, both of which have crystalline sands and low tides that are perfect for children. The cliffside paved path lined with tropical flowers complete with sea views makes for an idyllic stroll, especially once the heat of the day subsides and the sun begins to set. The hilly Maspalomas Dunes are a 1,000-acre natural reserve made up of soft mountains created from fine sand. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Explore Sahara-style sand dunes One of my most memorable activities on the island was when I played explorer at the Maspalomas Dunes, a 1,000-acre natural reserve made up of soft mountains created from fine sand. The hilly dunes actually made me feel as if I were frolicking in the Sahara — until I spotted the deep blue sea at the base of the sands. Just go before the sun gets too hot so you don’t burn your feet. The volcanic crag Roque Nublo is the third highest point on Gran Canaria. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Trek a massive crag My top hiking spot on Gran Canaria is around Roque Nublo, a craggy rock that juts straight up the top of a mountain. Though it’s not the highest point, it is one of the most iconic spots on the island, and the view from the top is astounding, as the rock overlooks mountains in the distance. From the parking area at Degollada de la Goleta, take a fairly easy, 30-minute walk to the rock, or there are plenty of longer trails where trekkers can hike the rock’s surrounding summits. Dress warmly, as it’s much cooler at the higher elevation, and bring sunblock. The best things to do on Lanzarote The César Manrique Foundation was built upon volcanic tunnels and caves, with a cave and a pool built into the volcanic rock. Rubén Acosta for Insider Admire spaces designed by the famous Canarian architect and artist, César Manrique To add culture to your beach vacation, opt for Lanzarote, where you may view the art and architecture on display at the César Manrique Foundation, which is the artist’s former home that’s now a museum. The space is unlike any other, built upon volcanic tunnels and caves. Manrique used the island’s natural environment to enhance his art, with a cave and a pool built into the volcanic rock. I enjoy puttering around the cactus garden, which is another space where Manrique seamlessly blends the island’s flora with his noteworthy architecture. Timanfaya offers a guided tour of its 25 active volcanoes spread over an area of more than 12,000 acres. Rubén Acosta for Insider Experience more than 25 volcanic craters in one natural park A trip to the Timanfaya National Park helps visitors understand that the heart of the Canary Islands is volcanic. The rugged, crater-pocked landscape of this park is a magical mix of colors and textures that seem to ebb and flow for miles on end. I’ve always felt it’s worth getting a guided tour so you can understand more about the history of the islands and all of their volcanic activity — there are more than 25 volcanoes in the park. La Geria is one of the oldest wineries on Lanzarote. Rubén Acosta for Insider Tour volcanic vineyards Another, more epicurean volcanic experience is visiting the many vineyards around the island. My top pick is La Geria, one of the island’s oldest wineries. A tasting and tour costs 10 euros a person and takes you through the grapevines, which are planted in holes dug into volcanic ash and ensconced in volcanic stone to protect them from the elements. It’s one of the most novel wineries I’ve ever been to. But my favorite part is the tasting, where I can sip a glass of white wine from the malvasía grape in the outdoor tasting area, which overlooks this very different kind of vineyard amid the volcanoes beyond. The isolated Papagayo Beach is located in a natural reserve between two large cliffs. Rubén Acosta for Insider Visit Lanzarote’s most exotic beach When it comes to Lanzarote’s beaches, I recommend the wild Papagayo Beach, located in a natural reserve between two large cliffs. It’s one of the most isolated, remote beaches on the island. Although it costs 3 euros a car to enter the protected space, lounging on the blustery golden sands and dipping my toes into the emerald waters makes the small fee worth it. The rest of the island’s beaches are easier to reach (and free) but don’t have the deserted, pristine ambiance that Papagayo does. The best things to do on Fuerteventura El Cotillo has white sands with numerous dark volcanic stones dotted throughout the beach and its waters. Rubén Acosta for Insider Relax on Fuerteventura’s white and golden sand beaches Fuerteventura is the island for anyone who loves the beach. You’ll find mostly white-sand beaches on this island, and honestly, there isn’t much else to do, as the island isn’t as developed as the larger islands. But I love visiting Fuerteventura as a self-defined beach bum, and even more so during a cold European winter when I really need to sit in the sun and recharge my batteries. It’s one of the windier Canary Islands (its name, Fuerteventura, literally translates to “strong gusts”), especially in the summer months, so if you’re not a fan of a breezier beach experience, this island is not for you. But this is also one of the reasons it’s so popular among surfers. My favorite beach in the north is El Cotillo. Rubén Acosta for Insider Fuerteventura is extremely long, so pick the south, north, or middle and hang out within that area so you don’t spend hours in your rental car each day. My favorite beach in the north is El Cotillo with some of the finest white sands in all of Europe, in my opinion. It’s juxtaposed with dark volcanic stones dotted throughout the beach and its waters. People converge to Corralejo’s Flag Beach whose gust winds are well-suited to kitesurfing. Rubén Acosta for Insider Nearby, the beach town of Corralejo has plenty of sand and sea, and just outside town kitesurfers flock to the gusty Flag Beach. Sotavento Beach has lagoons that come and go based on the tides. Rubén Acosta for Insider Costa Calma and Sotavento beaches in the middle of the island are quite interesting with lagoons that come and go based on the tides. These sands are great for families. I love to explore with my toddler, who enjoys waddling through the shallow waters to spot tiny fish and crabs. There’s only one small surf school along these beaches, Ion, which in addition to the regular kitesurf, surf, and windsurf rentals and classes offers lessons for kids, as well as wingsurf options, where you use a handheld wing to catch the wind and ride the waves. At the southern tip of the island, the beaches of Jandia, such as Morro Jable, are large and beautiful. Exceptionally long and wide, no matter how many crowds come, I always feel as if the beach is empty and spacious. I also love to jog or power walk the path that runs along these beaches. Cofete Beach’s sandy golden coastline is backed by red and brown volcanoes. Rubén Acosta for Insider Go off-roading to discover Fuerteventura’s wildest, volcano-backed beach For me, it’s not a trip to Fuerteventura without visiting Cofete Beach, one of the most far-flung, natural beaches on all of the Canary Islands. It takes about 30 minutes of off-road driving to get there, but once you spot these desolate, exotic sands backed by red and brown volcanoes, you’ll never want to leave. Just bring everything you need such as food, water, and sunblock because there are no bars or shops in this remote area. If you don’t have a 4×4 rental car, plan to drive slowly until you reach the beach — I don’t mind leisurely cruising along so I can simultaneously admire the landscape, which feels a bit as if I’m on Mars.  Betancuria is a tiny village dating back to the early 1400s. Rubén Acosta for Insider Wander the former capital of Fuerteventura If the weather is cool or cloudy, an alternative to the beach is in Betancuria, a tiny, whitewashed village that dates back to the early 1400s and was the capital of the island through 1834. Make sure to stop into the Santa María church, wander the cobblestone village streets, and dine at one of the town’s local eateries. Nearby, there are many hiking trails in the surrounding Betancuria Rural Park. The best things to do on La Gomera Garajonay National Park offers hiking in extremely varied landscapes and microclimates. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider Hike a prized national forest and beyond La Gomera is an island for nature buffs or anyone who loves to hike. My favorite is its laurel tree forest, Garajonay National Park, which feels fairy-tale-like with all kinds of plants, rushing waterfalls, and rocky mountain peaks. What I find most special about hikes on La Gomera are the dramatically diverse landscapes and microclimates. A trek may start off in a valley weaving toward rocky, jagged peaks, heading through seaside paths and passing over verdant trees and plants. Then, you’ll spot desert rocks along dusty trails and cacti, steep ravines, and banana plantations — all in one hike.   Mirador Abrante offers breathtaking viewpoints of La Gomera in its transparent glass overhang. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider See things from a different view(point) La Gomera has many viewpoints, or miradores, along its hiking trails to admire the scenery. My favorite is Mirador Abrante, where you can soak in views or have a drink or snack at the on-site restaurant. I find the views even more breathtaking than some of the other miradores on the island thanks to its transparent glass overhang, which offers stunning panoramas of the lush greenery, reddish rocks, and sea below. The Los Órganos boat tour offers great views of the the rock monument. Ricardo Cases Marín for Insider View a one-of-a-kind natural monument from the ocean When I tire of hikes, I like to take a boat tour to see the rock monument and geological wonder, Los Órganos. Its dripping volcanic tubes carved out by the tide resemble the pipes of an organ. This abruptly steep basalt cliff measures more than 600 feet wide and towers more than 200 feet over the foaming waves. It’s impossible to arrive by car or on foot, so a boat tour is the only way to see this special sight. Just be aware when the sea in this area is extra angry, tour operators might reschedule for another day if they deem ocean conditions unsafe.  The best things to do on La Palma Taburiente offers volcanic hikes amidst foliage and waterfalls. Rubén Acosta for Insider Take a volcanic hike From dramatic cliffs that dangle over glittering black sands amid massive crashing waves, the beauty of La Palma is unparalleled, hence its nickname, La Isla Bonita, which means beautiful island. One of my favorite treks is the official Volcano Route, which includes 13 miles of trails that run through volcanoes, mountains, and cliffs. A high level of difficulty is required, so only attempt this if you’re an experienced hiker.  More volcanic hikes can be done at Taburiente National Park. The lower, volcanic crater portion of the park is covered with foliage and waterfalls. As you ascend, the summits offer exceptional views. I like to drive up to one of my preferred viewpoints here, Cumbrecita. From there, I have my pick of easy, medium, or difficult walking and hiking trails, depending on my mood and energy level. The Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory houses the largest optical-infrared telescope in the world. Rubén Acosta for Insider Gaze upon the dazzling night sky The island is particularly incredible for stargazing as its deemed an official starlight reserve. I’m not typically into astrotourism, but I was mesmerized by the velvety, star-covered expanse. Official stargazing points are located around the island, but one of the best places to view the evening stars is the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory. Perched on the edge of Taburiente National Park, the observatory sits high above the sea, complete with the largest optical-infrared telescope in the world, along with 20 other telescopes. That said, just looking up at night from pretty much anywhere affords incredible starry scenery. Do note that La Palma suffered a volcanic explosion in late 2021, which has since been declared officially over, and shouldn’t affect your travel plans to the island. Just avoid the Cumbre Vieja volcano, as there may still be some damage from ash in the immediate area. Visit the best beach on La Palma Many of the island’s beaches aren’t for sunbathing or swimming – it’s best to simply discover, admire, and explore. One of my top beaches on the island is Nogales. The trek down from the parking lot takes only about 10 minutes, but it’s steep. Once below, the vast black-sand beach is backed by large, moss-covered cliffs and the deep-blue color of the ocean. The best things to do on El Hierro   At El Charco Natural Pool, the white, foamy Atlantic waves collide with the rock cave and spill over into the pool’s shining emerald green and turquoise waters. Rubén Acosta for Insider Swim in natural pools The smallest of the seven main Canary Islands, El Hierro also sits the farthest west. The island, named a World Biosphere Reserve and Geopark, is known for being exceptionally eco-friendly thanks to its dedication to running on renewable energy.   My visits to El Hierro always start with a dive into El Charco Natural Pool, where blue waters lapping volcanic rock rival the cenotes found in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Though there are a few other natural pools on the island, the juxtaposition of this pool’s color is what really sets this one apart — the white, foamy Atlantic waves collide with the rock cave and spill over into the pool’s shining emerald green and turquoise waters that give it that extra wow factor. Las Playas’s Bonanza Rock is a stone monument in the ocean that is said to vaguely resemble the shape of the island. Rubén Acosta for Insider Admire and photograph natural monuments I like to snap every angle possible of Las Playas Natural Monument, a giant natural amphitheater carved out by the sea. Its focal point, Bonanza Rock, is a stone monument that rises from the ocean and is said to vaguely mimic the shape of the island. Depending on the time of day you visit, the ever-changing sun and cloud position over the bay make for truly memorable photos. Playa Tacoron cove’s calm waters are ideal for families with small children. Rubén Acosta for Insider See the red sands on El Hierro Though the island’s beaches aren’t popular for sunbathing, Playa Tacoron is worth a visit, as its dark reddish sands and rocks look almost pink or orange depending on the light — even beige, brown, or black sometimes. The protected cove’s waters are calm, ideal for families with small children. Both my toddler and I love to dip our toes in the soft, lapping waves. The waters of La Restinga Marine Reserve spans almost 2,000 square feet of ocean. Rubén Acosta for Insider Dive, swim, and snorkel at the island’s marine reserve El Hierro is one of the best Canary Islands for snorkelers and divers who want to view marine life including various shark, turtle, and manta ray species. The best place to do so is in La Restinga Marine Reserve, which spans almost 2,000 square feet of ocean space. I find diving in these waters to be particularly special thanks to the underwater caves, tunnels, and drops in the reserve, with dense coral and sea plants. My preferred spot for a dive in the reserve is El Bajón thanks to its abundance of underwater creatures — I’ve seen barracudas and turtles there, among other marine life.

Bajo el risco de Famara – Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park – Active Volcano On the island of Lanzarote, you can find the Timanfaya National Park. Lanzarote’s volcanic history is much older than Tenerife’s. The explosive volcanic eruptions that covered most of the island with molten lava and volcanic ash occurred between 1730 and 1736. 11 villages were buried by the seven-year eruption that drove people from the island, previously known as the Garden of the Canaries. “The explosive volcanic eruptions that covered most of the island with molten lava and volcanic ash occurred between 1730 and 1736” After the eruptions had stopped, farmers returned to their land and discovered new ways to cultivate the ash-covered areas. The UNESCO-listed Timanfaya National Park protects some of the most spectacular volcanic landscapes, including a still-active volcano. It is a sight to behold: vast areas of unexplored terrain, covered in layers of solidified lava and cracked by more molten rock that moves beneath them. You can see the whole park by visiting Islote de Hilario at the summit of a volcanic cone. Here park rangers will demonstrate the extreme heat below your feet.

Lanzarote’s “Cueva De Los Verdes” Cueva de Los Verdes. This seven-kilometer-long volcanic tube runs from La Coruna mountain to sea. It is one of the most visited things to do in Lanzarote. These tubes formed from lava flows that had cooled to the surface and then hardened beneath them. The hollow tube was formed when the subterranean lava flowed into the ocean. You can explore the cave’s two-kilometer section in its original condition. The only things that have been modified are walkways and lights. The Jameo is a way to enter the caves. It’s a hole made by the collapse of a thin section of the lava tube’s roof. Some chambers can reach up to nine to twelve meters high. The walls are made from compounds like iron oxide and calcium carbonate. They can be red, orange, or black. The biggest tourist town on Lanzarote is the lively Puerto del Carmen, surrounded by more than six kilometers of sandy beaches with calm waters. Although the old fishing village is now a popular tourist destination, many restaurants and hotels are still available. Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen will delight those who visit during the first two weeks in August. The Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen, a religious festival that honors the patron saint in the fishing village, is decorated with colorful bunting.

This charming seaside town is the best preserved in the Canaries. It still retains the favorable position in the 1500s when it was one of the three Spanish ports that allowed trade with the New World. You can stroll along the cobbled Calle O’Daley and see the beautiful homes of wealthy merchants. Also, you will be able to appreciate the town’s prosperity in the 17th-18th centuries. “Santa Cruz de La Palma was one of the three Spanish ports that allowed trade with the New World. You will be able to appreciate the town’s prosperity in the 17th-18th centuries” The beautiful 16th-century Iglesia del Salvador features a beautiful Mudejar roof and a painted altarpiece. Built-in 1569 as the cardinal’s palace. It has a stunning Renaissance arcade and a carved ceiling. Quinquennial Fiestas are held every five years to honor the island’s patron saint, the Virgin de Las Nieves. These festivities continue the same traditions that the townspeople have been enjoying since 1680. Caldera de Taburiente National Park Caldera de Taburiente National Park in La Palma. Also known as Isla Bonita, La Palma is one of the greenest Canary Islands. La Palma is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its landscape includes pristine forests, sheer cliffs, and a black-sand beach. Caldera de Taburiente National Park is one of its protected areas. Here volcanic peaks reach 2,400m, and lava flows descend to sea level. “La Caldera de Taburiente National Park is one of its protected areas and also La Palma is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve“ La Caldera de Taburiente, one of the Canary Islands’ most beautiful natural areas, is La Palma’s greatest jewel. It is a breathtaking experience to look out from one of the scenic viewpoints. The park is not just for viewing but also to experience its beauty. It is best to explore it by walking along its trails. All of our senses get activated as we stroll through dense Canary Island pine forests, listen to birds sing in the trees, and enjoy the unique smell of the species endemic to this archipelago. It is not easy to reach the caldera’s interior on foot. However, the rewards are amazing as we find wonderful spots and then, in the end, cool off in the cool, clear water. You can get a sense of the enormity of this area by visiting the park’s summits, where the Roque de Los Muchachos Astrophysical Observatory stands. From there, you can look out at the vast caldera and feel like you are floating in thin air.  Caldera de Taburiente – La-Palma – Canary Islands The park offers various wooded areas, including streams and waterfalls, for those looking for idyllic surroundings. Hidden among the steep hillsides are picturesque bays that you can find along the rugged coastline. La Palma has many things to offer, including amazing hiking trails, beautiful beaches, and green nature. The Island of LA GOMERA Playa Las Vueltas – La Gomera La Gomera is an island with ancient forests, breathtaking viewpoints, charming spots, and unique culture of the Canary Islands. It is volcanic in origin and approximately circular. It measures 22 km (14 miles) in diameter. It is steeply sloping, mountainous, and very mountainous. The highest point, Alto de Garajonay, rises to 1,487m (4,879 feet). It is shaped somewhat like an orange, with deep ravines and barrancos.  Lush laurisilva and deep ravines with abrupt cliffs, magnificent rocks, valleys populated by leafy palm groves, and wild little beaches. These are the La Gomera landscapes. Explore endless trails. There are more than 600 km of trails that allow us to explore the island on foot. This is the best way to see incredible spots like the Riachuelo de El Cedro in Garajonay National Park. Here, giant trees and ferns flourish in a lush, humid forest. Parque Nacional de Garajonay Garajonay Park – La Gomera – Canary Islands Parque Nacional de Garajonay La Gomera La Gomera rises from the Atlantic, so building roads around its coast is impossible. The Garajonay National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and protects the island’s top half. A dense laurel forest covers seventy percent (about the same as those covered Europe during the Tertiary Period). “The Garajonay National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and protects the island’s top half” These lush, green forests house many species of plants and animals unique to the island. The island’s springs and streams are fed by mists and clouds that hover over the summits. It is steep, and the paths that lead through the misty, moss-draped forests offer breathtaking views. Christopher Columbus built his ships in San Sebastian, the island capital. “Christopher Columbus built his ships in San Sebastian, the island capital” Garajonay Park Panoramic View – La Gomera – Canary Islands La Gomera is more than Garajonay. You will also find landscapes quite different from the lush forest on the island’s roads. Deep ravines that lead to the sea are a great example of this. Gomera farmers have meticulously cultivated the sides of these ravines. They create a stunning landscape of beautifully laid terraces. There is a wide variety of scenery, including leafy palm groves that cover much of the island’s terrain in green.  This extensive network of trails allows us to enjoy nature and the rural atmosphere of the island by slowly walking around the charming hamlets.  Because of its craggy terrain, many spots on La Gomera have become spectacular vantage points for breathtaking views. The amazing Lanzarote artist Cesar Manrique couldn’t help but show his immense talent in Palmarejo, a viewpoint that overlooks the island. The Valle Gran Rey is a stunning image that combines terraces with Canary Island pines and hamlets to create a breathtaking view of Gomera’s rural landscape. The ocean intense blue makes it a beautiful place to be in harmony with nature and humans. Imagine floating in thin air. The Abrante viewpoint allows you to experience this feeling. It is possible because the glass floor extends out above the precipice like a cantilever. You will feel as though you are floating in thin air. The view from the Morro de Agando vantage points is a must, as it offers a panoramic view of natural spaces of incredible value. The Roque de Agando is the dominant feature of all this beauty. It stands at more than 1,200m high and has been shaped by erosion over many millions of years.  Roque de Agando – La Gomera “The Roque de Agando is the dominant feature of all this beauty. It stands at more than 1,200m high and has been shaped by erosion over many millions of years” The monument to the ‘silbo Gomero’ whistling language is also found at the Igualero viewpoint. It offers spectacular views from the island’s highest peaks to the ocean. La Fortaleza is a large mass of rock with a flat roof and houses one of the most important archaeological sites in La Gomera. Alto de Garajonay is the highest point on the island. From here, you can see the whole island, plus El Hierro, Tenerife, and La Palma. Gran Canaria can be seen in certain conditions. The mountains are covered in a vast, intense green cover. It is a real spectacle for the senses, and its magic captures our attention. Also, the Cedro is located next to Garajonay National Park. Its houses, which are surrounded by primitive laurisilva, preserve traces of Canary Islands architecture. The Island of EL HIERRO The El Hierro island is located in the Canary Islands. It is home to approximately 30,000 people. La Lajas de Benidorm is the capital city. Other cities include San Andres del Guayabo in the north-east, Puerto de la Cruz in the south-west, Yeguada Grande in the east, and Cala Ratjos on the west. The Island of El Hierro – Canary Islands El Hierro Island Image Gallery – Canary Islands The stunning Charco Azul bathing pools are located on El Hierro, one of the less-known Canary Islands. This stunning volcanic formation and turquoise waters can be found in the valley of El Golfo. It is the perfect place to relax the day away. Bliss. There are some amazing hiking trails in El Hierro, especially at dawn. You should follow the marked routes around the island. Do not be deceived by the wind! The sun is strong, so make sure to apply sunblock frequently and drink plenty of water. Nobody wants to be spotted on a hike looking like a raisin. El Hierro is an Atlantic Ocean natural treasure. It is a perfect destination for nature lovers and explorers due to its unique landscape and remoteness. El Hierro is a place where you will encounter nature and culture, rather than mass tourism. The landscape of El Hierro is varied. Lava formations and slag deserts are the main features of El Hierro’s south. You can see stone pine and laurel trees in the west. However, you will also find fruit plantations in the south and north. The island is surrounded by steep, rocky, and sloping coastlines that are only partially accessible. Sendero El Cres – El Hierro El Hierro is a stunning place with amazing scarps, natural forests and deep gorges. It also has unique bays. The UNESCO has not declared the island a biosphere preserve yet! There are many natural attractions to be found here.  The juniper grove El Sabinar can be found in the west part of the island. The dominant feature of the juniper grove El Sabinar is the tree tops that have been pressed against ground by strong winds and are still in place to this day. This grove, together with the fog from the weather, is El Hierro’s landmark. There are also many observation points (miradores), which can be found on the island. From these, you can admire El Hierro’s landscape and nature. Mirador de La Pena is the most well-known. The Lagatario Museum is a unique attraction. It houses a rare Komodo dragon breeding station. These reptiles were thought to be extinct, but a hiker discovered them in 1970. They are now a protected species. “The Komodo dragon reptiles were thought to be extinct, but a hiker discovered them in 1970. They are now a protected species” Comodo Dragon – El Hierro – Canary Islands Some of Europe’s best dive spots are hidden in the tranquil Mar de las Calmas marine reserves off El Hierro.  Green Shark El Hierro Taxi Diver Arrecifal, a reputable outfitter, offers day and night trips as well as PADI, ESA, and SSI courses.

These are the top places to visit on La Graciosa Island.  If you are planning to visit Lanzarote, I suggest you go to La Graciosa. It is one of the most beautiful Canary Islands to visit. The Risco de Famara (the Famara Cliffs) is the most beautiful island in Chinijo Archipelago. Its golden beaches, its quiet houses, and the turquoise waters that lap its shores make your mouth water. This island is reserved for those who can appreciate its beauty, silence, beauty, and, of course, the sun. La Graciosa is the last place in Europe without asphalted roads. It is one of the most tranquil and peaceful Canary Islands.  Las Conchas – La Graciosa “La Graciosa is the last place in Europe without asphalted roads. It is one of the most tranquil and peaceful Canary Islands” While not a popular tourist destination, La Graciosa is a perfect island for those who want to forget their shoes.

The main islands are Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. Although all are of volcanic origin, each island is very distinctive in its landscape and even its culture. The experiences that await are numerous and as diverse as the islands themselves, from stargazing and climbing volcanoes to sunbathing on white or black beaches, exploring caves, and an underwater museum. The Canary Islands also have a unique whistle language you can listen to, great wines and exquisite food, and distinctive local costume and dance. This great variety is the reason why I visit the Canary Islands again and again, discovering something new and amazing on every trip. You’ll fall in love with the Canary islands at first glimpse and want to explore as much as possible, just like me. To get you started, we have curated a list of the best experiences on each island. 1. Stargazing Under Europe’s Clearest Night Sky The Canary Islands are blessed with some of the world’s clearest and darkest night sky views. This phenomenon has attracted scientists to the islands, establishing observatories and specialized telescopes on Tenerife, La Palma, and La Gomera. But, in recent years, a new form of leisure travel known as Astro Tourism has sprung up for enthusiastic amateurs. You can take a break from all these fantastic beaches and landscapes for an experience of a different kind: stargazing. At all the viewpoints, professionals will guide you and explain how and where to get the best views of the constellations. La Gomera may be one of the smallest Canary Islands, but it offers a stargazing route beginning at Mirador Cesar Manrique, followed by Mirador El Santo, and leading to Mirador de Alojera. Watch the Milky Way as you have never seen it before. La Palma features the world’s largest optical infrared telescope, which stands atop the Roque de los Muchachos mountain. Book in advance for a guided tour, and bring warm clothes. Due to the altitude, it’s pretty nippy at night, even in the summer. Should you happen to holiday in Tenerife, you, too, are in luck for a great stargazing experience. At equally high altitude as La Palma’s Roque de los Muchachos, Teide National Park, a World Heritage Site, has observation platforms at Mount Izana and the top of the volcano itself.

White Beaches Or Black Beaches: Where To Enjoy Both Due to their location off the coast of Africa, the Canary Islands enjoy sunshine and a hot climate nearly all year long. And that’s one of the reasons why they are such a popular holiday destination for singles and families alike. Because of their volcanic origins, you have a splendid choice of both white and black beaches. Don’t be put off; the black beaches aren’t dirty, the sand is as fine as that of the white ones — no rocks or pebbles — just a different color. For white beaches with miles of dunes, head to Gran Canaria and the Maspalomas resort at the south of the island. The dunes are a protected area with a lighthouse at one end and plenty of watersport activities throughout. The most famous black beaches are to be found in Tenerife and Lanzarote. There are about 10 black beaches in Tenerife to choose from, and each one is different from the next. My favorite is Los Gigantes because of the basalt rock formations that bookend the beach, resembling, well, yes, giants. It’s also a charming seaside town. There are also the black beaches of Lanzarote, the fourth largest of the Canary Islands. There are four main black beaches, but they are mostly suitable for enjoying wild nature, not so much for swimming as it can get quite windy with higher waves than on the other islands. YB888 / Shutterstock 3. Explore Teide National Park Tenerife’s top attraction is no doubt Teide National Park in the center of the island, where the volcano Pic de Teide rises up to a height of 12,200 feet. It’s an active volcano; the last eruption occurred in 1909. The national park, a World Heritage Site, is a vast area, so you are well-advised to plan a full day here. You will be awed by the basalt formations caused by ancient lava flows, making the whole area look like a moonscape. You can visit on your own but might be best advised to go on a guided tour. If you are an experienced hiker and in good shape, you can climb the volcano making use of one of the access routes. A far easier and more comfortable way to the top is via the cable car. Be aware that because of the quick change in elevation, you may experience altitude sickness. Enjoy the views, the wild landscape, the unique flora (Canary pines and junipers), and the thrill of walking on an active volcano. Robert Schneider / Shutterstock 4. Be Enchanted By Orotava Valley A very different nature experience is a trip to the fertile Orotava Valley on Tenerife. Its ample water supply made it possible for early settlers to plant sugar cane along the slopes. This was followed by banana plantations that produced the sweet, small, and extremely aromatic Canarian bananas and also potatoes. The town of Orotava is a little jewel of architecture and history. Look at the houses of the wealthy, original settlers and visit Casa de Los Balcones, a 17th-century museum house with original furniture that provides insights into the life of the times. Time allowing, stroll through the Botanical Garden to see one of the Canaries’ most iconic plants: century-old dragon trees. Once visited, you will understand why German scientist, traveler, and botanist Alexander von Humboldt reportedly sank to his knees in awe when he first clipped eye on the valley. Carmen Agullo / Shutterstock.com 5. Do You Dive? Then The Canaries’ Underwater Museum Is A Must We may be 50+, but there are quite a few of us who are keen divers, myself included. If you dive, don’t miss out on a special treat on the island of Lanzarote, the Museo Atlantico near Playa Blanca. It’s the only underwater museum in Europe, filled with 35 life-sized sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor resting on the ocean floor. It needs to be seen to be believed. Diving tours are available for experienced divers and beginners alike; you can even look down and see the sculptures while snorkeling, but it’s not the same. bellena / Shutterstock 6. Folklore, Song, And Dance At Pueblo Canario The Canary Islands may belong to Spain, but they have a very different culture, and even a different language. You will want to see what typical houses look like, what the traditional dress is, and what the people’s songs and dances are like. No better place than to visit the Pueblo Canario in Las Palmas, the capital of the largest island, Gran Canaria. Located in the middle of Parque Doramas in the center of the town, it’s a creation of the Martin-Fernandez de la Torre brothers built in 1930 to recreate typical houses and awaken interest in Canarian history and culture. The pretty houses are built around a courtyard, where, twice a week, folklore groups perform their island dances and songs. The brothers were also sculptors and painters, and you’ll see some of their works exhibited there. While in Las Palmas, you can visit Vegueta’s Casa Colon, a museum situated in the home where Columbus stayed during his stopover on the islands in 1492. There are also exhibits about the Canaries’ pre-hispanic culture and the islands’ connections to the Americas. Although a part of Spain, the Canaries are a duty-free zone, so you might want to use your visit to Las Palmas to shop till you drop in one of several shopping centers or in the historic Triana neighborhood. Dziewul / Shutterstock 7. See How One Artist Changed An Island Cesar Manrique was a multi-talented artist born on Lanzarote in 1919. A contemporary of Picasso and Dali, he was inspired by their works and, like them, was a painter, sculptor, and architect who helped define the Lanzarote landscape. Start by visiting the Manrique Foundation, which includes his home, created within a volcanic bubble. You can walk from room to room on several levels all within the volcanic cave. Admire his cactus garden and dance the night away at Jameos del Agua, a concert venue and nightclub. All over the island, you will see Manrique’s mosaic murals in addition to several wind toys and sculptures. Whilst in Lanzarote, go for another volcano-and-caves experience. Visit the length of the La Corona Volcano tunnel known as Cueva de Los Verdes. Several miles long, the tunnel and its sights are some of the most interesting in the world. Fear not, you won’t get claustrophobic. 8. Have Fun With Parrots In A Tenerife Theme Park Loro Park, located on the outskirts of Tenerife’s capital Santa Cruz, is a 33-acre zoo cum theme park. With 4,000 parrots of 350 species, it houses the largest collection of parrots in captivity in the world. There are pools for dolphins, indoor spaces for penguins, and aquariums of exotic fish. The venue has become one of the most visited attractions on Tenerife, providing fun and education for people of all ages, especially for kids. underworld / Shutterstock 9. Spend A Day On Tiny El Hierro El Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands and is a world of its own. Bring swimsuits and walking gear to explore the island, which will impress you with its varied and breathtaking landscape. Several hiking paths invite you to walk to your heart’s content among the juniper shade. You may even spot a few of the island’s mystical Garoe trees. Charco Azul is a natural saltwater pool separated from the Atlantic by a spectacular basalt arch. Wooden sundecks let you rest and sunbathe between plunging into the tranquil water of the pool. Learn about the history and culture of the island by visiting Valverde’s Old Town and the Guinea Ecomuseum. This museum consists of several houses with artifacts and exhibits from the original settlers on the island, the Bimbaches. You can easily reach El Hierro from either La Gomera, Tenerife, or Gran Canaria via daily ferries or flights. There is hardly any difference in price. underworld / Shutterstock 10. Follow The Wine Route In Lanzarote If you are a wine lover, you should take a wine tasting tour in Lanzarote. The Canary islands produce many fine whites, reds, and roses, but a specialty of Lanzarote is the volcanic Malvasia, a rich white wine that’s typically quite sweet, but there is also a dry variety. There are several other wine tasting tours on Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and La Gomera. Pro Tips Finally, a few words about the food. Everyday food is grilled fish or meat. A special mention must be made of papas arrugadas, which translates to wrinkled potatoes. The volcanic soil lends a special flavor and color to the potatoes. Smaller, white, and slightly sweet, they are traditionally cooked in salt water with their skin and eaten unpeeled and topped with a spicy sauce. An insider tip: The Canary islands are an extremely popular holiday destination, which means that during the height of the season, even the widest beaches, including Maspalomas or Playa de las Americas, can become crowded. If you want a quieter holiday, travel in spring or fall and head for the smaller islands. In fact, the smaller the better, which makes El Hierro and La Palma my top choices.

Relic laurel forests have been preserved on the islands, which are protected by nature reserves. In addition to plants, various endemic animals live in the Canary Islands, for example, the Canarian pigeon. Also, the active volcano Teide, towering in Tenerife, will attract the attention of adventurers. This is the highest point not only in the Canary Islands, but in all of Spain. Those who wish to get to the mouth of the volcano can take the funicular up for 8-9minutes, or on foot for the whole day with special equipment, but for free. However, the sights created by human labor are no less fascinating. Almost all the cities of the Canary Islands have preserved national architecture, so wandering through their streets is a pleasure. So, finding themselves in the castle of San Miguel in the south of Tenerife, tourists seem to fall into the romantic times of knights and noble ladies.

The Guanche population, who lived before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, built mysterious huge structures in ancient times, strikingly reminiscent of the step pyramids in South America. However, no one guessed what the purpose of the Pyramids of Guimar was. Top 30 main attractions of the island of Tenerife The Canary Islands, located not far from the African coast, are not without reason called a tropical paradise among travelers. This archipelago consists of seven islands, the most popular of which among tourists is Tenerife. This truly fabulous place, attracting travelers from all over the world, can surprise even seasoned tourists. Connoisseurs of medieval architecture and connoisseurs of tropical natural beauties have something to see here. Undoubtedly, lovers of seaside holidays will appreciate Tenerife for its extensive well-maintained beaches, the purity of the Atlantic waves and a large number of sunny days. Let us consider in more detail the question of which sights to visit first of all for travelers arriving in this paradise of our planet. 1. Park Lago Martianes In the northern part of the island there is an unusual natural park Lago Martianes. It is located on the ocean coast, and also occupies a whole archipelago of artificial bulk islands. This natural park was created in 1971 by the Spanish architect Manrique. The place for Lago Martianez was not chosen by chance: the northern part of Tenerife was not very popular among tourists before because of the winds constantly blowing from the Atlantic side, raising strong waves. Today in this place, in addition to man-made islands, a whole network of artificial channels and extensive swimming pools with beaches have been created. The park also has observation terraces that offer magnificent views of the ocean and the adjacent coast, numerous places for recreation with shady gazebos, restaurants and cafes. 2. Cave of the Wind At the base of the island of Tenerife lie rocks of igneous origin, literally dotted with numerous underground galleries and caves. They were created over millennia by hot lava flows and subsequent erosion under the influence of groundwater. The largest of these miraculous structures is the Wind Cave, which, according to geologists, appeared about 27 thousand years ago as a result of a powerful volcanic eruption of Teide. Subsequently, underground water and sediment seeping through the cracks enlarged the cavity and at present the Cave of the Winds is the largest in Europe and the sixth longest on the planet. Its total length, excluding numerous corridors and branches, exceeds 17 km. Visitors will be able to see inside a whole architectural complex created by nature: vast halls, stone cascades, whole lakes of solidified lava with terraces located above them. 3. Infierno Gorge Infierno Gorge is a national park located in the Aideje mountain range of the island of Tenerife. The territory of this conservation area, located ten kilometers from the popular resort of Playa de las Americas, exceeds 1840 hectares. Translated from Spanish, the name of this area sounds like “Hell’s Gorge”, which is not entirely justified. In fact, tourists arriving here do not see anything particularly frightening: the entire district is covered with lush tropical vegetation, which looks especially picturesque against the backdrop of sheer rocky cliffs. Due to the geographical isolation of these places, the territory of the Barranco del Infierno reserve has preserved unique species of animals, plants and insects that are no longer found on the rest of the island. A hiking trail with a length of almost 7 km has been laid along the Hell’s Gorge, passing by the most picturesque corners of the national park. 4. Los Gigantes Rocks One of Tenerife’s amazing natural monuments is located in the Teide National Park, right on the Atlantic coast. They are sheer black walls rising above the ocean waters to a height of up to 600 meters. These colossal gloomy formations at one time frightened with their gloomy appearance the natives of the island of Guanches, who called them “Hell’s Walls”. Los Gigantes looks especially impressive from the ocean – in the nearby port you can rent a boat or yacht for a boat trip along the majestic rocky coast. Nearby is a resort town, also called Los Gigantes. It is notable for its yacht marina, surrounded by rocky cliffs, and Los Gios beach, covered with black volcanic sand. 5. Teide Volcano Teide is the highest mountain not only in the Canary Islands, but throughout Spain. It rises 3.7 km above the waters of the Atlantic and is part of the national park of the same name. Almost at the very top of this extinct volcano, at around 3,555 meters, an observation deck is equipped. Travelers will be able to get to it with the help of a cable car, which is laid up to a mark of 1. 9 km. The funicular is equipped with 35-seat cabins, the departure interval is 10 minutes, and the travel time is 8 minutes. Further, you will have to climb on foot along the paved mountain path to the upper observation platform. It should be warned right away that this path is not easy: there are difficult and steep sections, and the air at the top of Teide is very rarefied. Therefore, before you hit the road, you should soberly assess your physical capabilities. But if a tourist can get to an observation deck located in the skies, the opening landscapes will more than compensate for all the time and effort spent. From the Teide volcano, you can see not only the whole of Tenerife, but also the adjacent expanses of the Atlantic with the other Canary Islands of La Gomera and La Palma. 6. Loro Parque It is not for nothing that travelers consider the Canary Islands to be a real tropical paradise: the islands are literally buried in the greenery of tropical vegetation and inhabited by many species of exotic birds. Almost all of them are collected in the famous Loro Park. Here, among the lush thickets, extensive enclosures are equipped, in which up to 500 species of birds live, of which there are more than 350 species of parrots alone. This is the largest collection of parrots on the planet: here you can see representatives of these birds brought from all over the world – from America, Asia, Australia, Africa. Many of them live completely free, nest among park trees and bushes of the park and accept treats from the hands of visitors. Loro Park also has its own dolphinarium, where you can see a colorful show with dolphins and killer whales. 7. Siam Park Tenerife has the largest theme park in the Canary Islands. Surprisingly, it is decorated in a style dedicated to Thailand, a country located thousands of kilometers from the Canary Islands. The explanation is simple: the owners of this water park are big fans of Thai culture. Therefore, such an unusual motif was chosen for its thematic design. Moreover, the monarch of Thailand himself and his family attended the opening ceremony of the Siam water park. Today this place is considered one of the best places for a family holiday in all of Tenerife. There are various attractions for both children and adults. Among them, there are 25 water slides, the largest of which has a height of 28 meters and a descent speed of up to 80 km/h. But that’s not all: to further tickle the nerves of visitors, the final segment of the giant slide is laid through a pool with live sharks. There is a calm river in the water park for leisurely rafting and canoeing, and a vast pool with an imitation of a real sea wave for surfing. On the territory of Siam Park there are sculptural groups depicting the heroes of Thai legends and legends. There is also an impromptu floating market where visitors to the water park can buy memorable souvenirs, soft drinks and fresh fruits. 8. City of San Cristobal de la Laguna The ancient town of San Cristobal de la Laguna is located on the Atlantic coast, near a picturesque bay, which is reflected in its name. The city was founded in the 15th century by the conqueror of the Canary Islands, the conquistador de Lugo, whose posture is now buried in the local Cathedral. You can view the tomb of this legendary hidalgo for a fee of 5 €. Until 1723, San Cristobal de la Laguna served as the administrative center of the Canaries, until the capital of the archipelago was moved to the city of Santa Cruz, also located on the island of Tenerife. However, San Cristobal is still considered the cultural and spiritual capital of the island. Medieval quarters with colorful buildings in typical colonial style have been preserved here almost in their original form. Due to this, the city is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among the most interesting tourist sites of San Cristobal, we should mention the Cathedral of Iglesia de la Concepción, in which the conversion of the Guanches to the Christian faith took place. Nearby are the ancient churches of St. Clara and St. Catherine, and on Adelantado Square is the University of the Canary Islands, the oldest educational institution on the island. 9. Building Auditorio de Tenerife In the capital of the island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there is a building of an unusual shape. It from afar attracts the attention of all tourists arriving on the island by sea. This is the local Opera House Auditorio de Tenerife, built in 2003 and outwardly resembling an open snow-white shell or a high ocean wave. The author of this extraordinary project was the famous Spanish architect Calatrava. For its original recognizable appearance and smooth elegance of lines, the Auditorio de Tenerife is often compared to the Sydney Opera House. In addition to external beauty, the Tenerife Opera is notable for its excellent acoustics and modern technical equipment. The interiors include two auditoriums – the Bolshoi and the Chamber. The first of them accommodates up to 1.6 thousand listeners at the same time, and the second is designed for 422 people. 10. Museum of Nature and Man In addition to natural and architectural beauties, Tenerife can also boast of its museum expositions. The largest and most visited among them is the Museum of History and Man, operating in the capital of the island, the city of Santa Cruz. It was opened in 1958 in the building of the former city college, built at the beginning of the 20th century. in neoclassical architectural style. The museum is dedicated to local nature, flora and fauna, as well as the history of human exploration of the Canary Islands. Visitors can see here stuffed local birds, animals and fish, archaeological artifacts found on the island, household items of aborigines and Spanish colonists. The real gem of the exposition is the collection of mummified bodies of the native Guanches who inhabited the Canary Islands before they were conquered by the Spanish conquistadors. 11. Monkey Park Monkey Park, located near the capital of the island, is a kind of hybrid of a botanical garden and a zoo. All sorts of tropical trees and shrubs are planted here, among which over 20 species of primates frolic. Visitors will be able to see here both small monkeys and lemurs, as well as huge gorillas and orangutans. In addition, other interesting representatives of tropical fauna live in separate enclosures in the Monkey Park: crocodiles, jaguars, large land turtles, panthers, iguanas, and a rich collection of snakes and lizards is collected in the serpentarium. Young visitors to the park will have an unforgettable experience of interacting with monkeys. They will be able to feed the primates with treats sold right there from the stalls – nuts and fruits. Since 1991, a nursery has been operating at the Monkey Park for breeding rare species of primates, from where they are sent to zoos and reserves in other countries. 12. Candelaria Basilica Candelaria Church is located 20 km from the capital of the island, in the small town of Candelaria. The temple cannot boast of an ancient history, since it was built only in 1959 on the central city square. But, despite this, the basilica is an important cultural and religious landmark of Tenerife. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Candelaria, who is considered the patron saint of the Canary archipelago. Her wooden statue is installed in the temple and is revered as a miraculous relic. Twice a year, on February 2 and August 15, solemn events in honor of the Mother of God are held here, to which believing Catholics flock from all the surrounding islands. The festive program includes a solemn divine service, a festival with folk festivals and evening fireworks. Directly adjacent to the basilica is the monastery of the Dominican order, which forms a single architectural complex with it. On the square in front of the church there is an unusual sculptural composition representing nine statues of warriors. These are the leaders of the nine Guanche tribes that inhabited Tenerife before its conquest by Spain. 13. Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary The Church of the Immaculate Conception is the oldest church in the capital of the island and at the same time the most important religious shrine of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The Catholic Cathedral was built on this site in 1494-1498, by the leader of the Spanish conquistadors, Don Luga, in gratitude to the Lord for the granted victory over the Guanches. In subsequent centuries, the church was repeatedly rebuilt and reconstructed, while at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries. did not acquire a modern look. Currently, Catholic believers consider the Church of the Immaculate Conception to be the main among all the religious institutions of the island. Therefore, the people often refer to it as the “Mother Church”, emphasizing its high status. The cathedral received its current name only in 1638, and before that it was called the Church of the Holy Cross, in Spanish “Santa Cruz”. In honor of this, the town was named, which grew up next to the temple and later became the capital of Tenerife. The church was built in the Mudéjar style, which was a mixture of Spanish Gothic and Moorish style. Inside the temple there is a silver altar with an important Catholic relic – the Holy Cross of Conquest, which de Lugo brought to Tenerife from Spain. 14. Nuestra Senora de Africa Market Nuestra Senora de Africa is the central market of the city of Santa Cruz, the largest on the entire island. It is located near the capital’s bus station, so residents of the surrounding towns and villages who come to Santa Cruz de Tenerife do not have to go far for shopping. The market is located in a covered building, made in the North African architectural style and, at the same time, resembles the town hall of a Western European town. Nuestra Señora de Africa is famous throughout the archipelago for its variety of goods, which attracts not only local residents, but also foreign tourists. Here you can buy fresh seafood, vegetables and fruits, taste ready-made dishes of national cuisine, taste the best varieties of wine. The market is especially lively on Sundays, when the “flea market” opens here, where travelers can buy souvenirs with local flavor, handicrafts and antiques. 15. Masca Gorge In the central part of the island, among the rocky mountain ranges of Masiso de Teno, is the picturesque Masca Gorge. This extraordinarily beautiful area is replete with natural attractions: impregnable cliffs stretching into the skies, lush evergreen vegetation, mountain rivers with magnificent water cascades. In the upper part of the canyon, at an altitude of about 600 meters, there is a small village that bears the same name as the gorge – Mask. This ancient village, which appeared here in the 15th century, bears the epithet “lost village”, which is quite justified. You can get here only by breaking the path among the rocky mountains with a length of about five kilometers. This hiking trail was laid only in the 1970s, and before that, the local Guanches did not come into contact with Europeans at all. Thanks to this, the inhabitants of the village of Mask managed to fully preserve their traditional way of life, continuing to engage in subsistence farming and hunting. A five-kilometer hiking trail passes by picturesque tropical groves and rocky cliffs with caves and grottoes. On it you can also go down to the Atlantic coast with an unusual beach covered with black sand of volcanic origin. 16. Cliffs de Garcia Teide National Park, formed around the volcano of the same name, is an extraordinary variety of landscapes. Here you can see the lush greenery of tropical vegetation, impregnable rocky cliffs, the Atlantic coast with black sandy beaches. But the most unusual place for a blooming tropical island is located south of the Teide volcano. This is Roques de Garcia – a deserted stone plain, covered with bizarre formations in the form of remnant rocks. They were formed as a result of erosive weathering of the remains of volcanic flows and have rather colorful names. Near the rocks of Garcia there is another space with lifeless lunar landscapes. This is the Llano de Ucanca plain, covered with a layer of volcanic sand formed during the destruction of igneous rocks. A magnificent view of this deserted, but at the same time extraordinarily beautiful area opens up from the cabins of the cable car, laid up to the slope of the Teide volcano. 17. Pyramids of Guimar Located on the island, the Pyramids of Guimar are considered one of the most mysterious sights of Tenerife. They are low stepped mounds, very reminiscent of the shape of the pyramid of the Central American Indians. Scientists archaeologists still cannot come to an unambiguous opinion regarding the time of the appearance of the Guimar pyramids. It is clear that the local Guanches have never erected such structures. Therefore, some researchers believe that this is the work of Spanish medieval farmers, while others believe that the pyramids appeared here much earlier – even before the Guanches settled the island. A number of scientists even put forward bold hypotheses that their builders were the ancient Egyptians or Maya Indians who arrived from Mexico. At one time, the famous traveler Thor Heyerdahl was engaged in the study of these interesting objects, on whose initiative the reserve and the ethnographic museum of Tenerife were founded here. 18. Esperanza Forest An unusually beautiful natural monument – Esperanza Forest, located in the depths of the island of Tenerife. For the most part, it consists of dense thickets of coniferous trees: the endemic Canarian pine grows here, which is not found anywhere else on earth. Also in the forest of Esperenza you can find thickets of eucalyptus, cedar and other representatives of tropical and subtropical flora. The air here is literally saturated with phytoncides, so when visiting the forest, tourists will be able to combine business with pleasure – enjoy the view of wonderful landscapes, as well as receive a medical procedure for their respiratory organs and cardiovascular system. The forest is especially beautiful in the early morning, when a mysterious bluish fog covers it, and the tart smell of eucalyptus resin is in the air. 19. Botanical Garden The Central Botanical Garden of Tenerife was founded in the city of Puerto de la Cruz back in the 18th century on the personal instructions of the Spanish King Carlos III. This ruler showed a keen interest in landscape design and gardening, was fond of selection work and botany in general. It was for scientific purposes that this garden was laid out: in it, the Spanish monarch personally conducted experiments on the acclimatization of various types of European plants to the conditions of the tropics. Gradually, the collection of plants planted in it increased to 4 thousand varieties brought here from different parts of the world. At present, the Botanical Garden continues to serve scientific purposes, at the same time being a place of recreation for local residents and visiting tourists. It is especially pleasant to plunge into the coolness of its shady alleys during the midday heat, when the air temperature in Tenerife often rises to +40°C. 20. Orotava Valley Hundreds of years before the arrival of the Spaniards, the island of Tenerife was inhabited by the tribes of Guanches who came from Africa. In the Canary Islands, they created several independent states, several of which were located on the island of Tenerife. The most powerful kingdom of the Guanches, called Taoro, was located in the fertile valley of Orotava. Here vegetables and fruits grew in abundance, there were large reserves of fresh water. The Spanish colonialists also appreciated these places, choosing Orotava as a place for their country residences. Travelers can still see here the luxurious mansions of European settlers built in the Baroque style in the 17th-18th centuries. Sugar cane, bananas and grapes began to grow on the surrounding mountain terraces, entire settlements of farmers and landlord estates-latifundia appeared. You can enjoy the picturesque views of the valley from the Mirador del Humboldt observation platform equipped here, named after the famous German traveler and naturalist. 21. Taoro Park Taoro is a picturesque tropical park located within the city of Puerto de la Cruz. This is one of the most beautiful places in the city: on an area of ​​10 hectares there are palm alleys and thickets of southern shrubs, beautiful flower beds and greenhouses, places for recreation with shady gazebos and benches under the canopy of tree crowns. Walking paths are laid along the territory of the park, there are fountains and artificial ponds, where it is so pleasant to relax during the midday heat. In Taoro Park, locals and tourists love to play sports, have picnics in specially designated places. Or just stroll along its shady alleys, breathing fresh air and enjoying the lush splendor of tropical vegetation. 22. El Caleton El Caleton is a natural pool that appeared on the Atlantic coast of the island in the 18th century. During the eruption of the nearby Trevajo volcano, also called the Black Mountain (Montagna Negro), lava flows pouring from its mouth collided with the waters of the Atlantic here, freezing in the most bizarre forms. Lava fields, formed after the eruption and enclosed by reef crests of solidified magma, fill with water at high tide, and at low tide, their rocky bottom is exposed to tourists. For a comfortable descent to El Caleton, slopes and terraces have been built in the middle of rocky ledges. When the pools are filled with sea waters, you can comfortably swim in them, enjoying the warm southern waters. Nearby is the town of Garachico, famous among travelers for its restaurants with traditional Canarian cuisine. The most popular dishes served here are vieja guisada (parrot fish with sweet sauce) and parilla miksta (grilled freshly caught seafood). 23. Dragon tree In the northeast of Tenerife, in the town of Icod de los Vinos, there is an interesting natural monument – the dragon tree. Dragon trees themselves can be found in other parts of the island, but this is distinguished by an unusually long age, estimated at a thousand years. At least, it is reliably known that this tree already grew here during the capture of the island by the conquistadors and at the time of the founding of the city. At present, this plant is the largest dragon tree in the world: its height exceeds 17 meters and weighs about 80 tons. The dragon tree of the city of Icod de la Vieja was recognized as a natural monument at the beginning of the 20th century, and the territory adjacent to it was declared the Drago National Park. Before the entry of Spain into the Euro zone, the image of this plant adorned the banknote of 1 thousand pesetas. 25. El Duque Beach El Duque Beach is a real pearl of the Costa Adeje, the center of Tenerife’s seaside recreation. It is he who is the personification of a summer holiday in the Canary Islands. Covered with coarse golden-yellow sand and well-equipped with all the recreation infrastructure, it is the leader among local beaches in terms of the number of Blue Flags won. This confirms the ecological cleanliness of the local coast and sea waters, as well as the high level of tourist services provided. Near El Duque, a modern hotel has been built, there are bars, night discos and restaurants. No wonder this beach area is considered the most popular among discerning European tourists, accustomed to good service and excellent related infrastructure. 26. Las Vistas Beach On the south coast of Tenerife is the popular beach area of ​​Las Vistas. The popularity of this place among tourists is explained by the well-groomed and cleanliness of its shores covered with golden sand, as well as the calmness of coastal waters. This is due to the presence of special barrier booms that take on the blows of sea waves and currents. Las Vistas is the longest among the beaches of Tenerife, and throughout its length it is well equipped with beach infrastructure. Here you can rent sun loungers with sun umbrellas, have a cup of coffee or soft drinks in cafe-snacks. At night, there are bars and beach parties under artificial lighting, there are sports grounds and scuba diving equipment rentals nearby. 27. Benijo Beach Benijo is considered by travelers to be the most picturesque beach of the Canary Islands. It is located on the territory of the Teide National Park, not far from the volcano of the same name. It does not differ in significant size: its length is just over 500 meters with a beach line width of 30 meters. Its uniqueness lies in the location and coverage of this stretch of coast. There are both sandy and pebbly areas. But Benijo differs from the beaches we are used to by their color, which is not golden or snow-white, but rich black. This is due to the volcanic origin of the surrounding rocks, which, when destroyed, turn into sand and pebbles. Rocky cliffs, also black, rise right around the beach line. Climbing them along the paved paths, tourists will be able to enjoy the beautiful panorama of the surrounding coast and sea waters. 28. Las Teresitas beach Las Teresitas is a fairly extensive beach stretching along the Atlantic coast for 1.5 km and up to 70 meters wide. Interestingly, this coast was originally covered with rock fragments and large stones. To turn it into a wonderful center of seaside recreation, it was necessary to clear the coast and bring 320 thousand tons of sand here from the Sahara. All this work was carried out during the 1970s, and the result of these efforts can be appreciated by modern tourists: a wonderful beach with golden yellow sand arose on the site of an inhospitable coast. Nearby is the small town of San Andreas, where you can rent accommodation and taste Canarian cuisine in local restaurants and eateries. 29. Cape Teno Cape Teno is the westernmost point of Tenerife, which is a rocky cliff rising directly from the ocean waves. At their foot, the surf rages and roars, fringing the cape with a white strip of foam, which stands out brightly against the dark background of volcanic rocks. Among the local attractions, it is worth mentioning the observation deck equipped on the very edge of the cliff, from which you can view the ocean expanses for many miles around.

The Villa is set in a very quiet complex. The Villa was spotless and very well stocked with all the needed requirements for our stay. A plus was the ground floor had a bedroom & shower room which was great with my dodgy knees, but upstairs there is another double bedroom shower room & terrace. The Villa is some way out, the nearest supermarket is a 10 min walk, the marina 20 mins & the main resort 30 min, none of which was an issue to us as we like walking The biggest recommendation I can give is that we will definately return to this fab Villa!!

I cannot recommend this property and its host enough, by far the best villa we’ve stayed in on the island. It’s walking distance to the local store and to Marina Rubicon which has some amazing restaurants and bars. Need to get your steps in for all the amazing food and wine 🙂 The villa has everything you need and was like a home. The additional linens and towels smelt lovey ,clean and fresh (you don’t always get this in villas trust me) and it was just really well looked after and you could tell the owner is very proud of it as he should be. The complex it is in is gated, very secure and lovely and quiet area. There are respectful times of the day and evening to keep it down and this meant restful and undisturbed nights sleep.

Holiday in Playa Blanca Weather: 4 Holiday: 5 Accommodation: 4 Food: 5 Nightlife: 1 Overall: 5 Weather The first few days of the holiday were extremely windy. We have found that this is a very windy Island at the best of times, however the first 4 days were awful. It has since grown extremely warm – too warm for my liking. Today is much cooler with a lovely breeze. Holiday Great as usual! It is our fourth stay in Playa Blanca during the last 18 months. We ususally come for 2 weeks, however this time we are fortunate to stay for 3 weeks. Fabulous restaurants, lovely people, quiet, no boy / girl gangs. Fabulous! Places Recommended To be honest, the only bad meal we have had here was at Casa Pedro’s, which came highly recommended. We ordered paella and this was served to us burned. On reflection we should have sent it back, however we ate around the burned bits. Needless to say we have not re-visited. The owner was grumpy – maybe this was a one off? We find the new Italian on the hill (last restaurant on Maithe n road very good. It has only been open a month. The food is lovely. Also Volcan Timanfaia along the front is excellent!

The hotel has a full entertainment program for guests of all ages, but there is also a separate area for those seeking some relaxation, complete with a pool, bar, and deck for yoga and Pilates. Rooms are simple yet comfortable, with free Wi-Fi, quality beds, furnished terraces, and flat-screen TVs, however, Standard Rooms lack basics such as mini-fridges and electric kettles. The hotel has a two-tier all-inclusive package, the standard of which is somewhat limited, as it only offers free access to the spa, gym, and indoor pool once per stay. Families seeking something cheaper may want to compare rates at the h20 Lanzarote Princess. See More Bottom Line Hotel & Amenities Photos Amenities Fitness Center Internet Jacuzzi Pool See More Amenities Oyster Awards Scene  Family-friendly, all-inclusive resort with ample outdoor areas and lively atmosphere  Set in a big beachfront plot of land, the Hesperia Playa Dorada is a good option for those wanting a relaxing break in the sun. The hotel was built in the 1980s, and interiors range from simple and slightly dated to contemporary. Golden railings, generic wooden furniture, and off-white tiled floors combine with dark patio-style seating topped by fuchsia pillows in the lobby bar, and lime-green accents throughout to create overall pleasant (albeit chain-like) spaces. Additionally, the hotel has a two-tier all-inclusive system (half-board rates are also available), and the private areas for Deluxe guests have a more upmarket feel, with stylish decor in darker hues, and many extra services and freebies.  The hotel is popular with families and couples, and the atmosphere is lively, especially in the summer. While there is a separate area for guests seeking a more peaceful spot to relax — housing a pool and bar — couples wanting something even quieter may want to check out the adult-only h20 Sentido White Suites, which is right across the parking lot from the Hesperia. Families looking to splurge may prefer the neighboring Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort, featuring cute Canarian colonial-style suites, big pools, and a pleasant spa.   Note: The Hesperia Playa Dorada is currently undergoing extensive renovations both in common areas and rooms, and we were told that many features would be changing throughout 2018, so checking with the hotel before booking is advisable.  See More Scene Location Great beachfront location, a short walk from Playa Blanca’s lively marina  Hesperia Playa Dorada Hotel is located between Playa Blanca’s lively marina and the area’s main shopping street. The main entrance is at the end of the hotel’s parking lot, but the back entrance opens directly onto a long, sandy beach and the promenade, offering easy walking access to many bars, restaurants, and shops. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Marina Rubicon, where guests can find a wide array of dining and shopping options, as well as a number of seaside lounges with live music. The hotel is about a 20-minute drive from Timanfaya National Park, and about a half-hour from Lanzarote Airport. On-site parking is available free of charge. See More Location Rooms Spacious, comfortable rooms with basic amenities and pleasant terraces The hotel has 465 rooms spread over two three-story buildings surrounded by gardens. Laminate floors, big windows, and clean lines make rooms feel clean and uncluttered, but the blond-wood furniture and green accents are a bit plain and dated. All rooms have furnished terraces, but only those in the main building have sea views; the rest overlook either the parking lot, gardens, or road. Standard amenities are somewhat limited for a hotel in this price range, consisting of flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, hairdryers, and air-conditioning. Unfortunately, lower-category rooms lack mini-fridges and kettles, and safes require a fee. Superior Rooms come with sofa beds, robes, and slippers, while Family Rooms can sleep up to four guests. Bathrooms are clean and straightforward in all, with shower/tub combos, marble-like counters, and an array of toiletries.   Deluxe Rooms come with a number of great perks, including more contemporary decor in earth tones, espresso machines, bigger beds, iPod docks, and daily turndown service with delicious snacks, including sweets, fresh fruit, and big platters of Iberian ham. Wi-Fi was average in our room, but worked better in common areas, and upgrades to faster, more reliable internet access are available for a fee.  See More Rooms Features Two restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, and entertainment The hotel has one main restaurant for all guests, serving a varied buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a private restaurant for Deluxe guests open for breakfast and dinner only. Food is better at the Deluxe restaurant, with a wider variety, additional fresh products, and better quality overall, but food at the main restaurant is still tasty.

There is an additional heated indoor pool, but it is only free for all-inclusive guests, and even then, only Deluxe guests have unlimited access. A sauna, steam room, and whirlpool are available at the spa, which also offers a wide array of massages and salon services.

The food was varied, lots of choice, the swimming pools were of a good size, and although we didnt have any children with us, the facilities and entertainment for children were first rate. Would like to mention one particular member of staff, SAM , who was on the reception desk most days. She was so helpful, particularly when I had a problem with my phone, and was always cheerful, obliging, and like the rest of the staff made our stay a happy one, thank you Sam! A wonderful place to stay, good location, will definitely go there again. Thank you Club Playa Blanca. Sue and Gerry Perkins.

Staff were very friendly and were always on hand if we needed any assistance. I can honestly say I cant fault the hotel. Only issue was the guys taking photos who stopped us and took photos and when we looked at them later in the evening started pushing us to spend 240 euros for the photos we choose. Unsurprisingly we didn’t buy them and the guy became quite irritated and started to offer us ” tonight only ” deals. After the chap said I didn’t value my son I just walked off.

We tried the Thematic restaurant, found them to be too hectic, your food is brought out far too quickly, both restaurants lack atmosphere. The rest of the hotel was lovely I know you were testing having the entertainment in the lobby bar. May I suggest you either revert to the old way or perhaps use the sport bar. It was far too noisy in the lobby bar and majority of your guests would welcome some peaceful time in the evening. In saying that perhaps some low key piped music for background entertainment .

This is a fantastic location, the staff is very friendly and the free shuttle to nearby Playa Blanca was great. We stayed at Royal Elite which gives you access to premium drinks and sea views. You also get breakfast and dinner at the waiter’s restaurant which was a nice touch. The rooms are excellent for a 4 star hotel. Very spacious rooms and a balcony with tea/coffee making facilities and water replenished daily. Highly recommended. We didn’t book a party this time but found Jet2 rap very friendly and full of local information.

Great selection of food and quality. Michel S. 09/04/2018 Reply Good hotel, good food and drinks are good if you have an elite package. But please repair the elevator next to the SPA is not nice when you have a child and have to go the whole hotel to eat. And one more thing do not rent a car at the hotel! Its a scam you will pay 3 times more to go next to the hyper dino next to the hotel. Tom K. 08/14/2018 Reply Amazing place. 4 pools with adults only pool and hotub. Food wise, food is amazing. They never run out of food and clear tables almost immediately. The diner, however, is not always open. It opens at 8am and closes at 6pm before reopening around 10:30pm. The hotel room is excellent, with two beds and a large bathroom. If you have a family/group of five or more, you will need at least two rooms. In a room for a family of four, you only get two beds. The TV is great for late night entertainment as it has English and Spanish channels. There is absolutely fantastic entertainment at the ‘chill out’ bar. Singers, dancers and demonstrations every night. There is also a theater that does some shows, perfect for little kids. There is also a good sea view. In addition, there is a swimming pool where many activities take place; such as dancing and “handball” Overall I would recommend this place to all ages as there are many memories to be made! Juan G. 08/11/2018 Reply Great hotel. Exquisite treatment from great professionals. It’s all inclusive, which for a little more hires an elite service, and you have some extras that are really worth it. A place to relax and forget about the day you live. Ideal for couples. There is a family, but quiet children do not worry. Animation 10 Dave P. 07/22/2018 Reply Reception very helpful and friendly. The outrageous stay at the hotel was very eventful. Arrived late due to lost luggage at the airport. So ruined the start of holiday . The place has lost its charm. The food was disappointing. Crowding restaurant. Lack of cleaning in the bar. The table was not erased correctly. Many needs, maintenance needs to be done. The food was disappointing. Jackie P. 07/16/2018 Reply Great place can’t fault it at all. Only advice will give to go for the elite is totally worth the money. Having worked in an environment in my youth in a place similar to this, I have to appreciate all the staff… from housekeeping/bar staff to entertainment, they all work very hard. Great vacation. Colin P. 6/15/2018 Reply We chose this hotel at the last minute, usually based on reviews from ‘TripAdvisor’ and ‘Google Reviews’ and must say we were not disappointed at all! Everything was perfect from start to finish. We had a great sea view from our room which was very clean, modern and spacious with very comfortable beds! Lots of lovely pools to choose from and more than enough space and sun loungers not to worry about ‘hoggers’ reserving them for a change! Staff we are always polite and very attentive nothing was too much trouble at all during our entire stay while we were out for my partners birthday the cleaners must have seen the birthday card I received her and very kindly left a bottle of sparkling in our room when we got back from the pool which was a wonderful gesture and much appreciated so thank you ‘Papagayo Hotel’! The food was generally very good and there were plenty of choices throughout our stay plus access to snacks and drinks all day when the restaurant was closed. For an all inclusive resort this did not disappoint in any way. The drinks were all very tasty, including wine and beer which made a nice change from some places! Review of Sandos Papagayo → Adrienne H. 06/12/2018 Reply Another nice stay at the sandos Papagayo. We stayed in the beautiful Royal Elite Room Commune of the Sea. Newly privileges include a private dining room for breakfast and dinner plus 2 private lounges for drinks. Branded self-service drinks. The staff is professional but friendly Well done Sandoz – we will be back (again!) Michel T. 06/07/2018 Reply Creating a dream with an exceptional view. Quality infrastructure. The staff could be more attentive on some details (ex: full ashtray by the pool at 9am = not empty from the day before). Feli R. C. 05/12/2018 Reply This is the second time I stay at this hotel and for me it is the best on the island. With all inclusive you don’t miss anything. Fun, tranquility, great views, food, pools, beach… Staff were very friendly and helpful, Rooms were clean and comfortable. Activities for kids, shows for adults, International cuisine, Mexican, Asian, Italian… Very close to Playa Blanca and with free shuttle buses. On this occasion, after spending more than 6 nights of stay, Airport-Hotel Transfer and vice versa, offers it free of charge in the same hotel. We will of course repeat for the third time. Mick G. 5/12/2018 Reply The hotel is clean, well appointed and the staff is great. If you go ROYAL Elite it’s well worth the extra money with a superior sea view room and two elite lounges open until 11:30pm. Great food and good atmosphere around the place. Adriana V. L. 04/26/2018 Reply Somewhat confusing circulation through the complex. Very friendly staff. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Beautiful landscapes of Lanzarote, although there is no gardening in the resort: very poor in foliage; flowers and vegetation! R. F. 04/26/2018 Reply Good hotel, good location. Great staff, food too, amenities, some needed refurbishment but they were already on it. Hotel that I have recommended and that I also recommend. Ben T. 04/24/2018 Reply Fantastic hotel, clean with lots of amenities, friendly staff. Lots of food and drinks to choose from, great view from the room. Worth upgrading to the Royal Elite package for the best drinks and private bars/restaurants. Sarah B. 4/24/2018 Reply The hotel was clean, nice rooms, excellent food and an excellent pool area. The staff were very helpful. The hotel is located in a quiet area and therefore you have to walk around 30 minutes to get to the Rubicon marina where there are shops and restaurants. Peter K. 04/21/2018 Reply Great hotel. Very good number. Great view from the terrace. Very satisfied. Would like to come back. Heike K. 04/18/2018 Reply Very good facility, the room is large and very nice. Stéphane R. 18.04.2018 Reply Beautiful and impressive hotel! I booked for a week in an all inclusive sea view room for 3 around mid March or it was 23 degrees we had a nice week. On the other hand, the French, they don’t know too much, we met two people who speak French well. So either you have to speak German or English. If you want to go, for example, in Playa Blanca there is either a bus that takes you free of charge, or you can walk, there is a path that runs along the sea to the bottom. Then for other places, I advise you to take a rental car, because the taxis I still find are a bit expensive, even if it’s cheaper than in France. Go to Majeres beach and another next one, it’s worth it, to the minuses Puddle beach, it’s without more. If you want to get around the island and do tours of volcanoes or beaches or even villages, I advise you to take half board as we couldn’t do volcanoes or other villages in the north. In addition, we have made the village of Puerto del Carmen, a good young atmosphere, nightclub, bar, shops and casinos, but also a nice beach. Gloria L. 04/16/2018 Reply Very good quality in price. Quiet and familiar. Great food and the staff are all very friendly. Dolores B. 04/14/2018 Reply Quiet hotel. Excellent staff Varied and plentiful food. Will. Luigia F. 04/14/2018 Reply Cozy and well clean. Attentive staff to customer needs. Adam B. 04/08/2018 Reply Excellent, friendly staff, good selection of food. The view from the hotel is amazing. In April during the school holidays, sun loungers were difficult to arrive in the middle of the day. Our room was clean, however there was a small minor leak in the hallway ceiling and the wooden divider between adjacent balconies was loose. I would happily stay here again. Herve C. 04/01/2018 Reply Currently on site for the second time and it’s getting better. Especially in the Royal Elite. Excellent! Laurent G. 03/31/2018 Reply 1 week here what out of happiness bar service restaurant reception female rooms everything for a pleasant stay my wife and I are very happy and we will return to this hotel thanks to the management to pass this message on to interested people live for 6 days p richins friendship and gratitude to all. Andrew M. 3/31/2018 Reply Sandos Papagayo is one of the best hotels we have had the pleasure of staying at. We booked the Royal Elite for our 40th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Everything was spot on and the staff were so nice nothing was a problem for them always ready and willing to help as well. Can’t fault anything about the place. How the song goes is just better than anything else. Ha. Peter V. E. 03/26/2018 Reply Very good hotel. The rooms are very good (building c). We had the Royal Elite package. The extra bar and lounge that came with it was very nice. The food was ok. Not very special or exotic. Michel F. 03/19/2018 Reply Not bad on all good food a bit big like sophisticated nice view good value for money. Ines H. 03/17/2018 Reply We stayed as a couple in February 2018 at Sandos Papagayo Beach Resort. The hotel is located on Papagayo beaches and Playa de Las Coloradas. We were greeted by the staff (multilingual). The hotel had a good mix of all nations. Our room was generous as was the double bed, we had a balcony overlooking the beaches of Papagayo. The bathroom was fitted with a bathtub with a shower head, a double sink sink and; I found it very large, under the vanity was a huge drawer for all personal items. The cleaning staff were friendly and we got fresh towels every day to make out of the room. The resort has several swimming pools, only family pools are heated. The adults only pool was quiet and you always found a dock. A positive mention is that there were no sofa reservations and it was not tolerable either. With the towel card you can pick up 2 bath towels at the spa and as often as you want to change the freshness. The hotel has 4 bars, one of which has just been refurbished. The largest bar is Canario with a huge balcony overlooking the sea. Then there is the pool bar where drinks are just filled with ice slush, the snack bar is located opposite: Opening hours from 11:00-18:00 pm and from 20:00-08:00 in the morning. Every early riser could have coffee, cappuccino, tea, beer, wine and soft drinks, as well as sandwiches or other light snacks. Review of Sandos Papagayo → Werner C. 03/17/2018 Reply Large, spacious complex. Lots of space, but eg locked escape doors. The room with triple occupancy is a bit cramped, there is not enough stool in the bathroom, the place for it is available. All in all, a good, recommended facility. Sergio B. 03/13/2018 Reply The perfect hotel to stay if you are going to visit the island. This hotel has a large swimming pool and offers several services available if you stay here. One of its buildings has a free buffet where you can go for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner and there is a wide variety of dishes and different types of food to choose from. If you haven’t eaten when the buffet closes, you can eat at the local pool, which serves rich food and has pancakes for dessert, a rare thing in other places where food is served. The sea view makes it a unique and charming place. Lisa W. 3/12/2018 Reply Just returned from this beautiful resort and had such a great time. Stayed at the Royal Elite section and had a beautiful sea view and really lovely modern rooms with tea, coffee, chocolates, sweets, fridge with pop and water all replenished daily. Bathrobe and slippers, bottle of champagne upon arrival! The food in the high end restaurant was excellent, freshly prepared and very varied. The Mexican restaurant was also good. The grounds and pools are wonderful. You can always get a sunbed by the pool or on the beautiful sunterraces overlooking the sea. There are several bars for all tastes. Including royal high-end bars where you can help yourself with signature drinks. Very nice! The Liverpool team and fun animations worked hard to keep everyone entertained day and night with lots of activities to join in and put on some fabulous shows. Very Professional. All the staff at this hotel are very friendly and hardworking. The resort is huge but always kept clean. We look forward to seeing you next year. Thank you. David Y. 03/07/2018 Reply Lovely clean hotel. Very friendly staff, always ready to help. The spa was also first class and the girls were excellent. Had a deep tissue massage and it was fantastic. You need to try. Couldnt wine drinks or different spirits available. The food was a good different variety in every meal, couldn’t fault it. In all a very relaxing time was in a very nice and pleasant resort. Be sure to visit again. Meike H. 03/01/2018 Reply Nice hotel which in my opinion should have been refurbished from the outside. The balconies were badly weathered, the pool tiles were partially missing joints. The beach fence looks like a construction fence. The mini golf course is also weathered. The room was very clean and the breakfast was very good. Unfortunately they only heat two of the four pools. The pool for adults is unfortunately only 18 degrees. We booked the Royal Elite Club which is also urgently needed to get some rest. Here you can eat in a smaller circle. The halls are also beautiful. We missed a nice cocktail bar with freshly made amazing cocktails. Long drinks we were able to mix ourselves at any time. The hotel is visited by more than 90% with English. The conclusion is that we expected more… Jonny B. 02/26/2018 Reply Amazing resort. Great food and variety of options. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Make sure you upgrade to ‘Royal Elite’ or request ‘Superior Sea View’ as they have been recently upgraded and are very modern. The resort is kept very clean and I can’t fault anything about how it runs. There was plenty of room to sunbathe around any of the 3 pools. Free Wi-Fi and great sea views from the balcony. We would definitely visit again! Senex D. 02/22/2018 Reply The hotel is very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, with some disadvantages. The so-called Fusion Restaurant leaves much to be desired. Asian food? Not shrimp in the buffet and in sight are the privileges of some “sick” who only with the role of a doctor are provided meals on demand outside the buffet while celebrating drinking wine and eating top quality food while being in the eyes of other customers S. If the doctor recommended I would like shrimp, salmon and shellfish to return to “Fusion Restaurant”, but for healthy people, I repeat, it leaves much to be desired. A greeting for morrofinos who blackmail hotel service with their “sickness” and another for those who allow it. Sandrin T. 02/20/2018 Reply Very good stay, view of a beautiful room. The hotel is excellent, the room, the restaurant, the welcome, the staff. Everything is respected. We’ll be back. Jane W. 2/19/2018 Reply Just returned from one week at Sandos Papagayo Beach Resort. Although the weather was not as good as we had hoped, the hotel did not disappoint. The staff throughout were friendly, helpful and professional. The hotel was immaculate throughout. Various places to relax or have a snack or a drink. The food in the main restaurant was exceptional, in fact the best we have had in any other hotel. The pools were spacious and the sun loungers in the adult area were comfortable. Pool towels were provided and changed daily if needed. We stayed in room x1010 and loved the location. The room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom with walk in shower and ample storage appreciated. This was our first visit but can’t wait to return. Sergio C. 2/15/2018 Reply I just came and went to have lunch at the diner. Menu: San Jacobos De Al noon for microwave heating. Hot dog with tough bread and microwave sausage. And the last tough one for sandwich and bread… You don’t know how it was… Now we go into the room. We arrived three people, two adults and one child. The bed of an unprepared child, and it is 1:45 in the morning. We called the front desk and told him what happened, we apologize and soon you brought us sheets and fixtures. When I unrolled the bed there was a variety of rubbish. I will complain tomorrow. For four stars now, nothing at all. Marino C. 2/14/2018 Reply This is a great place, good people to visit without a doubt! Marcin M. 02.02.2018 Reply We spent our honeymoon here. We had a nice welcome with OD bottles of champagne. Gifts like, which is very nice. The whole facility is amazing and it’s great placed. Papagayo beach is very close. The people there are very helpful and kind. The room was beautiful and comfortable – always clean. And the food was amazing. I need to visit this place again! 🙂 Love the cats there! Aurélie V. 01/29/2018 Reply Great location We were however a bit disappointed with the variety of the midday buffet and the few services paid on top of everything. But the staff is helpful and the place is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. Giovanna64 01/09/2018 Reply This hotel is close to the most beautiful beaches on the island. To visit all this simply rent a car and in an hour and a half you will reach the farthest point. The hotel is nice and very well maintained, the staff is always nice. The cuisine is good and very varied. So many dishes cooked at the moment. Ivan D. 01/06/2018 Reply We are regular customers. We are very satisfied. This is a site that is constantly updated. I have already sent many people who were very happy. Alicia P. 01/05/2018 Reply This is an exciting place… the deal in the restaurants and with the animation people is excellent… the only cleanliness of Q leaves enough to be desired in the room. But I’m giving it 5 stars because I insist that the animation and restoration deserve it for a lot of attention. Jo H. 12/21/2017 Reply Photos are better than reality, the room was very nice, everything was clean, a lot of pensioners in mid-December, not all the bar were open, the animation was good, the food was delicious but not varied. Louise M. 12/14/2017 Reply This hotel was beautiful. Quick registration. All rooms are very close to the main reception. The food was good, good variety and the menu changed daily. The Fusion restaurant is great. Eastern night was a bit disappointing as there was no curry! However, the Mexican night was amazing and the food was excellent! The room was lovely (never went to the Royal Elite) but felt as if we had never missed anything. And cleaned daily. The staff is very friendly especially the Fusion manager who was very helpful when our order was lost. The spa was good, not too busy so could relax easily. In general, I highly recommend. The animation team was great with the young ones. Tips: If you are a sun worshiper, get a free towel from reception and reserve a sun lounger. At some points during the day, there were towels on all the sun loungers and I had nowhere to lie. (One guest told me that people leave towels on the sun lounger all day but don’t use the facility). Teguise Market on Sunday is a must! An absolutely wonderful day. We opted for the local bus service but would advise booking via REP as this bus is really busy (and there is only 1). Great vacation and great weather. Yanylolete 12/10/2017 Reply We remain neither a couple nor me. The service is excellent as well as the attention. We arrived very early, from the first moment, despite the time and not having the right to use the building. We started using the facilities and they are all inclusive. Glad and completely grateful. It exceeded everything we expected. The rooms are like living in an apartment with a terrace, all luxurious. Maria C. 12/07/2017 Reply There is no better place to go on vacation. Come as a couple or with children. The food is amazing and varied. But the best thing is the hotel staff, Customer service is exceptional. Unfortunately there are only five stars because I gave it 10. Giovanny P. 04.12.2017 Reply Fantastic hotel we stayed for a week and we had great animation all the staff in general , thank you X, will make us have a great honeymoon many thanks to the whole team. Taty T. 12/02/2017 Reply Excellent service. Piluty. Good food. Ollie J 11/26/2017 Reply Had a nice stay here in a junior suite (I forgot the exact name of the room) on the Royal Elite Range. The room was nice and spacious but not particularly clean and the baby cot was in a terrible state, after calling reception they fixed it but not great as first impression. The hotel has a wonderful view of the sea and overall the hotel is impressive but starting to show its age. The food and setting for dinner was fantastic at the Royal Restaurant but they tend to let things dry under the lights. The staff were amazing, just genuinely friendly and great with our daughter. Really made you feel welcome. If you have kids yourself, you will find constant music from the animation team blaring over the speakers all day long by the pool only grating… The pool brings the biggest negative about the hotel as a whole as there is little space and few sun loungers. Overall a very good stay, close but not 5*. María A. 11/14/2017 Reply Very good hotel, although it is removed from the capital, I prefer it, the attention is friendly and very complete on the all inclusive, as far as food and drinks, friends comrades are very sociable , the hotel keeps the Fed, are the keepers of errors. Paul N. 11/12/2017 Reply Part of Sandos chain and good quality. Beach side location (beach access via stairs or lift if you happen to be allocated one of the few beach level apartments). The facilities where everything is good quality and the food was of a good standard, plentiful and varied. This is a large complex built on many levels and can take some navigation to find your way around. The staff were very friendly. Juel T. 10/19/2017 Reply Great hotel with great facilities and friendly staff. There is nothing to complain about here. The food is fantastic and the animators provide entertainment every day. The grounds are always clean and the cocktails are great. We would like to return. October 2017 Achim A. 10/08/2017 Reply Sensational first festive evening. Great food in a perfect atmosphere. Stredded G. 03.10.2017 Reply Very good hotel. — Staff very friendly – rooms nice and good air conditioning – different pools – nice pool bar – theme restaurant/delicious! The only negative point is the food in the normal kitchen, not very tasty and not so much choice… Emilio F. A. 09/30/2017 Reply Very good place, but with some drawbacks. I honestly don’t know how it has 4 stars. They give you a bottle of water when you arrive and then you fill it up if you want more. Very repetitive buffet. Friendly staff 10 for them because they work it. Carafe of soda. I’ll be back, but not here. Renee G. 09/14/2017 Reply Great hotel with great location. Spacious complex with 4 outdoor pools, private spa, various restaurants. The evening program is also multifaceted and varied. In fact, there is something for every taste. There are plenty of parking spaces in front of the hotel. Even if the hotel is located in the south of the island, it is easy to get to any place on the island. We have up to the North end of CA. It takes an hour. The view of the neighboring island of Fuerteventura makes up for it. The only thing complained about is the lack of Wi-Fi in all areas of the hotel. In fact you can only surf via WLAN in the lobby so really. Annie K. 09/07/2017 Reply Very good comfortable hotel. The service is impeccable and the staff is top notch. Niky B. 09/06/2017 Reply Inexpensive! Valentina S. 08/24/2017 Reply Lovely property very well chosen for the famous beach which is also a nature reserve. Gilles B. 08/17/2017 Reply A very good place to spend with your family. Tom H. 08/16/2017 Reply Great resort, lots for the whole family to do with water polo and Aqua Gym, football and all pool and table tennis tables to mention a few. The rooms were modern and clean, the food was good for all Inc with a decent variety, especially in the main restaurant. A couple of little nitpicks: the diner closes at 6 doesn’t make sense as prime time for kids to grab a bite to eat; not enough towels left in the room most days; and some of the restaurant staff are a bit unfriendly, but overall a superb, picturesque hotel with a great entertainment team that made the pool the most fun place to be! Thank you. François T. 08/02/2017 Reply Grand hotel all-in, selection all-in good, except for beer, very friendly staff, a bit remote. Tom M. 04/01/2016 Reply This is a great hotel in a great location with great staff and great rooms we had an enjoyable stay and would recommend to anyone. Andrew W. 03/22/2016 Reply Good hotel, it’s big! And it takes a few days to find all the routes, clean pools, nice bars and an evening terrace with great views. Really close to the beach and 20 min walk to Papagayo beach. The rooms were a good fair amount of space, lots of different levels. So what made me give 3 stars unfortunately to the food, a real shame on the whole average chain of hotel food. You can pay an upgrade fee for a better breakfast, my comment is why should I? I felt most of the food to be bland, the only thing I didn’t like was the loud kids playing pool and music, I could hear it 1/2 mile away when walking along the coast. I found the staff helpful, never any questions there. Dining room for renovation to meet the Grand Hotel entrance. Suzanne C. 02/03/2016 Reply Second stay in the most relaxing all inclusive resort, we will be back next year it’s just what you need, amazing food in all restaurants, we are upgraded to royal elite, but honestly we didn’t think there was much of a difference and most people are in the royal elite where a lot of the old so end up going with everything else in regular bars, the world doesn’t update next time but then again might be different in high season. Estibaliz A. I. 19.01.2016 Reply If I return to Lanzarote, I would like to be able to enjoy this wonderful hotel has everything come down to that hotel and great services and was a wonderful hotel. And I think it’s great that animals are allowed. Mary M. 01/19/2016 Reply Very nice place, the rooms are spacious and well maintained. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was of high quality and varied. The staff is very friendly and willing to help, but not intrusive to your space. We would like to encourage you to book this hotel although we did not have children with us the services for families were good. Hope we visit again in the future. Carlos 01/18/2016 Reply We had my wife and I on our honeymoon in March 2015. Desde first time impressed us with her size, elegance and details. Already from the reception lobby welcoming, pleasant staff. The facilities are very nice, the room with the huge bed and the sea view made the stay romantic and fabulous (except for the noise of the works on the upper floors). The animation team made us divirtieramos and us sintieramos nice. Heated swimming pool to swim with the environment a bit cool. Food great variety and quality, stimulating to change the variety of Mexican cuisine, Asia… It honors her long categories.

David M. 11/18/2015 Reply We spent a few days at this resort and the deals and facilities were great. The beach is very close, but my opinion is not the best, there are better in other parts of the coast of Spain. Francisco A. O. 08/20/2015 Reply Hello I just spent a week in August with my girlfriend’s NPC and if there was a problem on the day of arrival the stay was wonderful. Very nice staff, good facilities.

Feel & Relax Playa Blanca Lanzarote

OASIS AMONG VOLCANOES, BUNGALOWS LANZAROTE, PLAYA BLANCA

The Tacande Bocayna Village has all the amenities for a pleasant and relaxing stay in a unique area.

The special resort atmosphere invites you to admire the magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean, take a walk in the gardens or get to know one of the most charming corners of Lanzarote called Playa Blanca. And how nice it is to return to the bungalow after a refreshing swim in the pool, immerse yourself in the contemplation of the ocean and mentally transport yourself to the nearby large and small islands without leaving your own terrace!

A real oasis in the fiery land awaits you.
