Surfing in the north of Lanzarote. Best plans and tourist guide
Here, you will find many perfect places in the north of Lanzarote full of beaches, landscapes, and waves. I tell you here:
The north of Lanzarote is ideal if you look for amazing waves to surf. Jameos, la Garita, el Caletón, las Bajas, el Papelillo and a lot more interesting peaks I’ll tell you about in a moment. This magnet represents the need to find the perfect wave, and it is inspired by the surfing in the north of Lanzarote.
“…Whether you are a beginner or an advanced surfer, Lanzarote is a great place to hunt for your perfect wave…”
Although there are multiple surf spots all over the island, you will find most of them in the north, around the volcano of La Corona, one of the largest volcanic calderas on the island.
So, taking advantage of this reference point, I’ll tell you about the most important waves you’ll find while surrounding this volcano.
We start the tour at La Garita beach, in the northeast of Lanzarote, in the municipality of Haría. This is a perfect surf spot for all levels, depending on the strength of the sea. It is a sandy bottom beach with multiple peaks you could surf at medium and high tide. The most relevant is the right one formed in the centre of the beach and the left one that comes out of the bridge.
Waves on this beach end up closing hard on the shore, so, although it is suitable for various levels, I don’t recommend surfing here if it’s your first day.
“…Jameos del Agua, El Cartel, La Hedionda, El Espino and La Derecha del Lago are the most important waves in the northeast of Lanzarote…”
If we continue northwards, the whole east coastline is full of surf spots.
Although each wave has its own particularities, you should remember they are fast, hollow, shallow waves, with a volcanic reef bottom and relatively difficult to access. A perfect cocktail that rules out swimming for beginners.
Main waves to surf in the north of Lanzarote
La playa de atrás, El Caletón blanco or El Caletón del Mero are the major waves in the north of Lanzarote.
Once in Órzola, in the north of Lanzarote, you have several options for a good swim. The first beach you will find towards the north, following the tour around the Corona volcano, is El Caletón Blanco. It’s a tube wave, great for bodyboarders, with a volcanic reef that is surfed at high tide.
El Caletón del Mero, right next to it, has one of the biggest waves in Lanzarote, also volcanic reef. I recommend neither if you don’t have an advanced surfing level. But don’t worry if you are a beginner because the next beach on the tour, La Playa de Atrás, is perfect for all levels.
With a sandy bottom and multiple peaks, can be surfed at medium-high tide.
“El Pipelanito or Mirador de Guinate are the most romantic waves of Lanzarote, the kind of waves that require an odyssey to surf them”
Once around the caldera of the volcano, in the island’s northwest, there are several energetic peaks full of water. I call them the romantic ones, as they are perfect waves in unique places. You can either make a big descent loaded with equipment through the Risco de Famara, or you can access them by boat, and once there, nobody can assure you that the conditions are ideal. But don’t worry, with a much easier access from Famara beach, you have the waves of Las Bajas and El Papelillo, one of my favourites.
My experience as a tourist, my emotions
Papelillo is undoubtedly one of my favourite beaches. The atmosphere and the views are incredible.
On perfect days, the waves are long and energetic, those waves that carry you from one side of the beach to the other.
It’s a big beach with multiple peaks, so even if there are quite a few riders, it’s easy to get your perfect ride.
On windy days, it’s a perfect spot for kite-surfers. And if you’re a bodyboarder, you can’t miss Las Bajas, at the end of the beach, with fun, tubular waves at low tide.
By Yaiza Parra
Now you know the best way to surf in Lanzarote. If you want to know what else to do on the island, where to rent surf equipment, and what other plans to make on your trip, you can visit the guides and excellent plans of the blog.
Perfect waves and a volcano that symbolises the natural monument of La Corona are the elements that make up this souvenir, which wants you to relive that need to find the perfect wave here, in the north of Lanzarote.

Main Cities
Arrecife is the capital and the only city on the island (making up 55% of the total population).
It’s the place to hit up if you’ve got any business to take care of (banks, travel agencies, shopping etc.) But that’s about it. Other tourist resorts include Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Teguise or Playa Blanca, but none of these will be of much interest as they all face east/south east and as a result pick up little swell.
Wave Types
Apart from a few beach breaks, the waves on Lanzarote all break on volcanic reef. With nothing standing in its way, the north of the island picks up the full brunt of any North Atlantic swell. This, coupled with the right conditions, affords the island powerful surf potential.
When to go
In Lanzarote you can shred all year round, but for optimal conditions the best time to turn up is October to April (autumn/winter).
Wetsuits
The drink is slightly nippier here than you might expect. Although you can get away with wearing a 3/2 fullsuit throughout the winter, at times the strong offshore winds will make you wish you’d brought something thicker.
Surfboards
If you come in autumn/winter you’re going to need a range of step-up boards. Lanzarote picks up the full force of the Atlantic and lacks any sheltered coves for big days, so you’d also do well to bring more than just one shooter.
Swells
Ideally you want a solid west swell (although certain spots work well on a north-west swell too). Ideal winds are from the south or southeast, generally accompanied by haziness (due to sand getting whipped up into the air off the Sahara desert).
Best waves
La Izquierda and El Quemao are world-renowned. But the north coast of the island harbours a thousand and one options for powerful surf in all kinds of conditions. A half-hour away from Lanzarote by boat lies the island of La Graciosa, where, with a little luck, you might find yourself pulling into the best barrels of your life.
Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the northernmost and easternmost island of the Canary Island archipelago. It has an area of 862km2, boasts 265km of coastline and lies just 120km off the coast of Africa.
The land mass is of volcanic origin (with backdrops mainly consisting by volcanic craters and ash). Minimum air temps rarely drop below 12ºC in winter, and the average yearly temp oscillates between 22º and 25º. The first thing you’ll notice about the island is its extreme aridity, a result of the practically inexistent relief on the island. Lanzarote accommodates a population of around 132,000 inhabitants, a high percentage of which are familiar with the surfing that goes down along its shores. The locals fully appreciate the riches of the island and very keen to preserve it as it is.
Accommodation
The north of the island remains rural and inhospitable, but is also where you’ll find the best peaks. You’re best off finding accommodation in the town of La Santa or Famara, both of which are relatively close to the surf and provide your basic tourist services for visiting surfers.
Avoid
Above all, try to avoid any trouble with the locals. Always try to surf on your own, and never, under any circumstance, paddle round anyone who is or looks like a local to get to the peak.
If you can earn their trust, with time they’ll prove to you that they are in fact great people. Besides that, make sure you watch the waves carefully so as not to get caught out by a bomb set and into trouble. You can have the scare of your life out there if you’re not careful.
If you can earn their trust, with time they’ll prove to you that they are in fact great people.
Nightlife
In contrast to the surf, which is all on the north coast of the island, for any nightlife you’re going to have to head to the east or southeast side of the island. As well as the capital city, there are various other touristy centres where you can go out and have a very good time for your money. In the winter months there’re a lot of Northern European tourists who come in search of the sun and the beach. In the summer, the “guiris” (Spanish slang term for tourists) are lost among the local youth who fill all the pubs and nightclubs.
Watch out for
Without wanting to labour it, the locals.
Try to be 100% respectful.
Try
In Lanzarote the people are strongly bound to their roots, which makes the island a great place to go out and immerse yourself in local customs, culture and food.
Five things to do
- Pay a visit to the small island of La Graciosa. Boats leave from the port of Órzola, in the northeast of the island. Whether there’s waves or not, it’s an island that’s still worth checking out.
- It’s impossible to imagine Lanzarote as it is, were it not for César Manrique who was largely responsible for the architecture, sculptures, paintings, landscapes and gardens on the island. César died in a tragic car accident in 1992. A visit to the César Manrique Foundation is highly recommended, now found in what used to be his house in Tahíche.
- Timanfaya is Lanzarote’s National Park, and its main tourist attraction. Which is to say everything within it is a must. You’ll never see anything quite like it again.
- Cultivated on volcanic earth and sheltered from the wind by small stonewalls, the island’s vineyards produce a unique grape.
So don’t forget to taste some of the local wines with a guarantee of origin. - Mix it up with the local people in the towns, especially if you come from a large city. You’ll find people are very hospitable and friendly.
So don’t forget to taste some of the local wines with a guarantee of origin.Newsletter Terms & Conditions

Famara Surf Spots
All kind of waves for all kind of surfers
Famara Beach
The perfect place to learn to surf by its sand bottom and more than 4 kms wide. It is the site chosen by most schools to teach their surfing lessons.
Schools often get in the middle of the beach. If you want to be a little more alone try to go beyond the bungalow area in what is known as the “papelillo”.
At the beginning of the beach you will find an area of rocks that are not visible at high tide. From the middle of the beach there are no rocks and it is a perfectly safe area for surfing without any danger although you should always be attentive to the directions of the rescuers present on the beach.
You can easily walk from the center of the village or park directly in front of the beach, taking care not to park in the sand or you’ll have trouble getting stuck in the sand P>
Famara Pier
One of the most spectacular spots in Famara. This is not an easy spot and you better have a good surfing level to catch waves here. Its rocky and rugged bottom does not invite you to make mistakes
This is one of the favorite spots for local surfers. Respect the locals and follow the surfing code and you will have no problems.
This spot does not always work. You should wait for the swell to come north to enjoy it under the best conditions.
It is a fast lefthand wave with tube sections when conditions are right. You can also catch the right but in this case the wave gives chances.
Located right in the center of the village of Famara you can access the wave jumping from the pier and paddling directly to the line up.
The Codito
The codito is a mixed spot (rock and sand) located just at Famara entrance.
It is not a difficult spot but it is not a spot for beginners due to the presence of rocks that threaten to break more than one surfboard.
The Codito is the perfect place to surf when the beach of Famara is too big as this spot is protected by the strong swells and the waves in this zone are ordered a lose force making the Codito in one of the few surfing spots in conditions of big swells.
Wait for the high tide to surf this spot because it only works with this type of tide.
What we like most about Codito is that it is next to all of Famara’s schools and surf shops so you do not need a car to get around and as long as you rent your equipment B> to the spot or you can even pause to eat in one of the restaurants that are right the corner of the Codito.
San Juan
San Juan is one of Lanzarote’s most well-known surf spots with a lefthand wave breaking on rock bottom which is pure adrenaline for the most expert surfers.
It is a fast and powerful wave especially in low tide that has been in several occasions the site of several competitions of international level.
San Juan is reached by the dirt track that starts right at the end of town that ends just in front of the spot. It is a track well conditioned and therefore suitable for all types of vehicles.
There you will not find any kind of service: no showers, no bars, no stores to buy water or lifeguards … so do not forget to take everything you need with you.
Respect the locals in this spot. Watch before entering the water as the wave works. Do not be in a hurry.
Spot only suitable for expert surfers .

Guide to buying the right surf wetsuit for your needs
One of the first things we must do to start surfing is to choose the wetsuit we will use. Here is a complete guide with everything you need to consider.
If you have any doubts, in our surfcamp in Lanzarote we will personally advise you to choose your wetsuit.
How to choose the right wetsuit for surfing?
The first thing to know is that it was a Californian invention.
Although it is still not clear who made it, it is thought to have been Jack O’Neill or Bob Meistrell of Body Glove, but it began to be marketed between 1950 and 1960. It was one of the elements that made it possible to promote the practice of surfing, since thanks to it, surfing ceased to be a seasonal and geographically limited sport, and could be practiced in any season of the year, as well as at any latitude of the planet.
It is in this sense that you should know that the wetsuit is made of a synthetic rubber filled with micro-bubbles of nitrogen. We are talking about a gas that has a great capacity to preserve temperature, keeping your body at the same conditions constantly.
Do you want to learn how to surf? Check out our surf school in Lanzarote, we have been teaching surfing to people from all over the world for more than 20 years.
In other words, thanks to these micro-bubbles, it is a light and very elastic equipment.
It will not only preserve the temperature, but also makes it comfortable for surfing, swimming, etc. Recently, there are wetsuits without neoprene, such as these created by Patagonia.
At the same time, we know that you can find wetsuits with different combinations of sleeves and legs. However, we know that the most common is with long arms and legs, which is called integral. However, there are also those with short arms and legs (short suit), with long arms and short legs and with long legs and short arms. Another option is to use a jacket with or without sleeves and jumpsuits, so you will have a wide range of possibilities until you find your ideal outfit.
Choosing the ideal wetsuit for surfing: what to look for?
When choosing a wetsuit, there will be several features to consider:
Neoprene thickness
One of the most important characteristics of a wetsuit is the thickness of the neoprene sheets that make up the suit itself. This is a measurement that is usually between 1 and 6 millimeters, all according to the suit.
A difference of 1 millimeter in the thickness of a neoprene means a different experience in the water, since the more millimeters the better it will protect from the cold, although it will also make movement more difficult and decrease comfort.
It should be noted that most suits are usually manufactured by combining neoprene sheets of different thicknesses. For example, we see that they can be seen on the chest, back and legs, using a 3 mm neoprene. Moreover, on the shoulders and arms a 2 mm neoprene, so that the suit can be more comfortable for paddling, and warm in the areas of the body that need it most.
Generally, the thickest area is in the chest area, which will be useful to increase the heat of the central core of the body. In the extremities, the thickness is reduced in order to increase flexibility and range of motion when rowing.
Depending on the water temperature, you could opt for the following options:
- 23ºC or more – Swimsuit and T-shirt or lycra.
- 21ºC to 23ºC – 1mm or more neoprene wetsuit and bib.
- 18ºC to 21ºC – 2 mm shorty suit.
- 17ºC to 18ºC – 2 mm wetsuit with short sleeves or legs.
- 14ºC to 17ºC – 3/2 mm long suit.
- 12ºC to 14ºC – 3/2 mm or 4/3 mm wetsuit with booties.
- 10ºC to 12ºC – 4/3 mm wetsuit, with booties and neoprene gloves.
- 8ºC to 10ºC – 5/4/3 mm wetsuit, with booties, gloves and neoprene cap.
- 8ºC or less – 6/5/4 mm wetsuit, with booties, gloves and neoprene cap.
At the same time, thicknesses can be segmented into seasons:
- 6/5 mm (winter)
- 5/4 mm (winter)
- 4/3 mm (autumn – winter)
- 3/2 mm (spring – summer)
- 2/2 mm (summer)
Neoprene seams
At the same time, the suit should have good seams. This is the section that will determine whether more or less water enters the interior.. What you need to know is that basic wetsuits are usually made with flat seams, which means that a lot of water is allowed to pass through the suit.
On the other hand, you will find that mid-high range wetsuits are manufactured with a gluing system and blind stitching.
This involves first gluing the edges of the neoprene sheets together and then sewing them together on one side without the seams going through the neoprene sheet. This prevents water from entering through the seams. At the same time, we see that the high-end suits have the seams sealed with a special rubber, which makes them even more watertight.
Neoprene sizes
As for the size of the neoprene, ideally it should fit snugly to the body, as this will be more effective. This implies that there should be no wrinkles or creases, but it should also be comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Before you buy it, you should try it on several sizes until you can find one that you feel comfortable with and fits you really well.
It is important for you to know that there are special suitsfor boys and girls, with the characteristics that best adapt to the body of men and women.
Girls’ suits are usually wider in the hips and chest, to adapt to the shape of each person.
The sizes in which the wetsuits are generally manufactured are:
- XS – Extra small size.
- S – Small size.
- MS – Size medium in width and small in height.
- M – Medium size.
- MT – Size medium in width and large in height.
- LS – Size large in width and medium in height.
- L – Large size.
- LT – Large in width and extra large in height.
- XLS – Extra large in width and medium in height.
- XL – Extra large size.
- XXL – Super oversized size.
Suit with or without zipper
At the same time, the possibilities of customization are related to the tastes of each individual. One of the main choices is the two systems for putting on and taking off the wetsuit. The back zipper system (which is the most common) and the “collar” or zipperless system.
When we refer to the latter, we will notice that the suit is put on by putting the body through the neck of the neoprene, which is made of a very flexible equipment that stretches enough to allow it to pass without difficulty.
At the same time, the advantage of not having a zipper on the back is that less water gets in. However, the main problem is that it is more cumbersome to put on and take off.
Suit complements
We are not only talking about the wetsuit, but also about the neoprene accessories. In other words, everything that will be useful to protect our feet, hands, head and chest from the cold. Booties, for example, are neoprene boots that, in addition to protecting us from low temperatures, are very useful for walking on rocky or volcanic bottoms. There are also neoprene gloves and hats that will serve to take care of areas of your body in intense cold. At the same time, bibs appear, which are like neoprene shirts that protect from the cold when the water is not cold enough to wear a wetsuit.
Ecological wetsuits
It is also worth noting that, at the same time that awareness of the planet is growing, different options for caring for the environment are emerging.
Hence the emergence of eco-friendly neoprene, made with new equipmentthat allow the use of less petroleum-derived composition, as well as new eco-friendly adhesives, which make them less polluting. In fact, more than one brand has already embraced these new forms of manufacturing.
That is to say, these wetsuits are used thanks to special glues or rubbers, which in the case of the ecological ones are eco-friendly, being water-based without chemical ingredients or solvents. In other words, harmful components are eliminated from the suit. In this way, not only the environment is respected and protected, but also the health of the workers.
In addition, above the seams we will come across the equipment that represent the neoprene wetsuits of a lifetime. These are those used since the early 1950s. It should be noted that neoprene is the same as polyloroprene, a petrochemical product refined from crude oil, which is not good for water health. For this reason, environmentally friendly neoprene made from natural rubber, which are compounds that come from a equipment derived from sap, are used.
How to choose a wetsuit
At this point, you will have to ask yourself a few questions. Among them, what time of the year you will use it, also depending on the temperature of the water where you will surf. For example, here is a possible combination in addition to the previous ones:
- Less than 3ºC – 7 mm long neoprene, complemented with booties, gloves and neoprene cap.
- Between 4ºC and 7ºC – 6/5 mm long wetsuit, complemented with booties, gloves and neoprene cap.
- Between 8ºC and 11ºC – 5/4/3 mm long wetsuit, complemented with booties, gloves and neoprene cap.
- Between 12ºC and 17ºC – 4/3 mm long wetsuit, complemented with neoprene socks and gloves.
- Between 12ºC and 17ºC – 3/2 mm long neoprene – 3/2 mm long neoprene
- Between 18ºC and 20ºC – 2 mm neoprene with sleeves and short legs.
- Between 21ºC and 25ºC – Swimsuit and neoprene lycra of 1mm or more.
- Above 26ºC – Swimsuit and T-shirt or lycra.
Let’s suppose that you surf in summer on the Cantabrian coast, where the water temperature usually varies between 17 and 19 degrees.
Depending on how cold you feel you will choose, although, at first, you could opt for a model in its 2mm short sleeve version or a 3/2mm.
Another point is to see how often you will use it. If you will only use it on weekends or vacations, there is no need to invest a lot of money. Or, on the other hand, since you will be looking for durability, you may want to make the investment, to ensure you have a quality suit for a long time to come.
If you want to learn to surf in Lanzarote, we encourage you to sign up at our surf school in Playa de Famara.

surf lanzarote – Surf San Juan
Learn surfing in Lanzarote
lessons and surfcamps for beginners
Lanzarote is a great choice to learn to surf.
To start the weather is good all year round, so you can come to surf whenever you want and not only in summer. We like it especially in winter when you leave the main land with a coat and scarf and you have to put on your short pants and sandals as soon as you land here.
It is also a cheap destination. Flying to Lanzarote is very cheap, as is the car rental, and thanks to the large number of surf schools on the island and the great competition between them, the prices of classes and surf camps are also very cheap if you compare with the prices in north of Spain, France and Portugal.
If you are already decided to choose Lanzarote as a place to learn to surf, we can think of 2 ways to do it:
- Come on your own, stay in a hotel or apartment and take spare lessons or take a full surf course.
- Sign up for a surf camp and live a 100% surfing experience.
Let’s see the advantages and options of each of them:
Surf lessons and courses
If you decide to stay in a hotel or apartment somewhere on the island and then sign up for a surf lesson or a complete course you should consider the following:
- Most schools offer a free pick-up service in hotels/apartments but only in those located in the main tourist areas such as Puerto del Carmen or Costa Teguise. Some schools like SSJ (Surf San Juan) also offers pickups in Playa Blanca (min 2 pax). Therefore, if you do not plan to rent a car, choose one of these areas to stay and they can come and pick you up.
- Usually surf lessons in Lanzarote have a duration of 5 hours with a half-day break to make a picnic on the beach and regain strength. But there are also 1/2 day classes (you do not include the hotel pick up) recommended for those who do not have a lot of time or just want to take try-lesson to see if they will like it before deciding to take the whole course.
- The schedule of classes is usually in the mornings, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Although if you go for a private class, you can probably choose the schedule that most suits you.
Some schools like SSJ (Surf San Juan) also offers pickups in Playa Blanca (min 2 pax). Therefore, if you do not plan to rent a car, choose one of these areas to stay and they can come and pick you up.Below we offer some of the courses and classes you can do in Lanzarote:
Surf Camps
If what you have decided is to have a 100% surfing experience then we recommend you sign up for a surf camp.
The surf camps are usually 1 week long and offer you the possibility of staying in a surf house on the beach with other surfers that like you have chosen this way to spend their holidays so in case you come alone for sure you will make friends.
The advantage of surfcamps is that you do not need a car or pick-up service since the surf houses are right next to Famara beach where surf courses are held. In this way, you will be able to maximize your surfing hours since the schools usually let you make free use of the material even after the classes.
Then in the evening you can make good friends with the rest of classmates and remember the anecdotes of the morning classes.
In surfer residences in addition to good atmosphere you will find everything you need for self catering (if you do not want to eat out) and free wifi for those who need to be always connected.
In addition, as a closed package the prices of the camps in Lanzarote are super competitive. Below we give you some options:
How do surf lessons work?
Okay, okay … that’s all very well but if you have not surfed before you will still be asking many questions like … Am I too old to start surfing? Do I need to be in shape? What awaits me in surf lessons … 5 hours of class seem a lot?
Well, do not worry. It is never too late to learn and although it is true that surfing in a physically demanding sport during the classes we make sure that everyone goes at their own pace. It’s about having fun. It’s not a competition … nor are we 5 hours surfing like crazy. The routine of the surf lessons is as follows:
1.- Warm up and stretching according to the principles of Yoga.
2.- Explanation of the exercises on the sand (Theory of surfing).
3.- Implementation in the water.
4.- Corrections on the sand, explanation of more exercises and again to the water (to make the classes more dynamic and less exhausting).
5.- Rest of 30 minutes to recover your strength and free picnic.
6.- Back to the water to continue with exercises and corrections.
7.- Surfing on your own with the survival of the teachers so that you try to put into practice everything learned during the morning.
8.- Back to school from the beach (free transport).
your first surfing day
Surf Rentals
longboards, softboards, performance boards, wetsuits, bodyboards …
OK, we have it all … flight, car rental, accommodation … we would only have one thing left. What do I do with the material? Do I bring my own boards or should I rent them?
Well, we think that due to the cost and the risk of putting your boards in an airplane, not to mention how uncomfortable it can be to travel with them to the airport, it is better to rent them at destination and more if this destination is Lanzarote where the price for the surfboard rental is one of the cheapest in Europe.
If we take into account that the cost of checkin your boards in the plane can go from 50 to 150 euros more or less (depending on the company) that is roughly the price that it can cost you to rent them in Lanzarote.
In addition, the main advantage of renting your surfboard in Lanzarote is the possibility of changing surfboards every day depending on your tastes, needs, wave conditions or simply because you want to try new models and measures to find your “magic board”. If you bring your board with you you only have 1 or 2 boards but if you rent them you have all you want!

Your Algarve Surfing Guide
The Algarve coast is a surfer’s paradise and this adventure sport has long been one of the top attractions in the beautiful southern Portuguese region. The Atlantic Ocean provides waves all along the coastline, but the best surf spots in the Algarve are without a doubt the west and southwest coasts.
The areas with the most favorable conditions for surfing are Sagres, the westernmost city in the Algarve, and Costa Vicentina, a national park along the western coast of the region. In fact, the west coast of Portugal has some of the biggest waves in the world, and the world record for surfing the biggest wave has been broken many times in the city of Nazare.
The central coast of the Algarve, where you’ll find the most popular beach towns and resorts, has little waves but can still be a good spot for beginner surfers if conditions are right.

Algarve’s Best Surfing Spots
Both Sagres and Costa Vicentina are home to amazing beaches that provide perfect waves for surfing.
Many of these beaches have surf shops right on the beach, so you can buy or rent a surfboard and wetsuit if you don’t have your own.
For options in the Sagres area, try Praia do Zavyal, Praia do Tonel and Praia do Belish. Praia do Tonel is within walking distance of the town of Sagres making the beach very accessible, while Praia do Belish is surrounded by stunning cliffs that complement the surf.
North of Sagres along the west coast you will find the nearby beaches of Praia da Corduama and Praia do Castelejos. These beaches are best for surfing with an instructor as there are hidden rocks in the water that can be dangerous if you are not familiar with the area.
For a tougher surf, head to the Costa Vicentina further up the west coast. Some of the best beaches here are Praia do Amada, one of the most popular surf spots in the Algarve, and Praia de Monte Clerigo, which tends to be a bit quieter than other beaches in the area. Praia da Bordeira and Praia da Arrifana are two other western beaches with ideal waves for surfing.
If you want to know more about the rugged western region, you can also join a tour to experience the land and sea adventure around the city of Sagres.
Beginners who prefer to stay along the central coast can still surf, although the waves and waves will be smaller than on the west coast. Depending on where you stay, some good surf spots are Praia da Rocha, Praia de Faro and Falesia Vilamoura.

Algarve Surf Training
If you’ve always wanted to learn to surf, or at least try, but want to hone your skills before heading out on your own, there are many surf schools to choose from, that the Algarve has to offer.
It is important to take surf lessons before starting lessons. It is important to learn proper technique as well as surf safety tips from trained surf instructors. Most of the schools are located in the western part of the Algarve, around the cities of Lagos and Sagres, as these are the areas where you will find ideal conditions for surfing.
Depending on your goals, you can take a few private surf lessons or sign up for a training camp that will teach you the basics of surfing over a few days. Some of the best surf schools in Sagres are Algarve Surf School and Wavy Surf Camp. If you are staying on the central coast, another option is the Future Surfing School located in Praia da Rocha, Portimão.

Getting There
The airport serving the Algarve is located in the capital Faro, about an hour and a half from Sagres. From Lisbon, the journey takes about two and a half hours. The easiest way to get around the Algarve is by car, especially if you want to visit several beaches. You just need to make sure the car you choose can fit your surfboard.
If you choose not to rent a car, you can get from Faro Airport by public transport, but you need to change buses in Lagos to get further west to Sagres. If you sign up for a surf school, you won’t have to worry about transportation to the beaches, as most schools will provide transfers to different beaches, depending on which one is best on a given day.

Lanzarote with the whole family – EnTuristo.ru tourist guide

Lanzarote with the whole family . The bulk of vacationers are Spaniards who fly here almost for the weekend, which is actively promoted by ticket prices.
The absence of Russian speech and the ubiquitous Japanese old women, I would attribute to the pluses of a holiday in Lanzarote.
However, I will try to tell you what you can see on the island.
Let’s orient ourselves on the map: in the center is the capital Arrecife, I mentioned it in the story about the festival, and we’ll come back here.
From Arrecife we drive north along the coast. Almost immediately outside the city, in shallow water, the wreck of the British freighter Temple Hall is rusting. Or rather, what is left of it. On October 31, 1981, the ship, which received holes incompatible with life, was towed aground, where it, abandoned by the owners, is safe and rests to this day, delighting photographers and just tourists. A kind of island Teriberka in miniature.
Costa Teguise – typical tourist town, restaurants, shops, etc. Strong winds attract sailing enthusiasts here. There is also a small but rather informative aquarium.
We drive further north. There are two lava caves Cuervo de los Verdes and the (second) Jameos del aqua.
There is nothing special to catch in them (in my opinion): in Los Verdes a group is formed, which is led through the halls with a story in 3 languages, how the world’s largest volcanic cave was formed after volcanic eruption. Such caves were (some still are) houses for local residents and play a significant role in the history and culture of the island.
Del Aqua is famous for its tiny albino crabs and blue water. Thanks to the efforts of Cesar Manique (we missed his house-museum in another cave) and the unique acoustics, a cave concert hall was made there. For a person whose ears have passed the gypsy choir with a bear, the acoustics seem very, very pleasant.
From the caves by mountain roads we go to the observation deck Mirador del Rio. From there you have a beautiful view of the island of Graciosa.
The islet is quite small, it has one settlement, in which, according to Zizis, only the owners of old-school defs live.
The rest of the island is empty, and you can go wild there.
The northernmost settlement of Lanzarote is the village of Orsola. Traditional architecture: low-rise buildings with blue and green shutters.
By the way, there is only one high-rise building on the island – a hotel in Arrecife. As I already mentioned, this is part of the concept of the development of the island, which allowed it not to become another beach of hotels and allowed it to preserve its originality.
A breakwater extends into the sea to protect the harbor entrance. A ferry to Graciosa and other, smaller boats of fishermen also leave from here.
Orsola is surrounded by white sand beaches. An amazing place, wild and sparsely populated beaches are conducive to becoming a campsite there for a few days.
Deep blue ocean, white sand, greenery and black rocks. Beautiful and calm.
That day you ended the evening in the mountain village of Aria (or Haria, you can figure out their Spaniards).
The village is quite remote from the coast (by the standards of the island, of course), the same traditional architecture, peace and rural idyll.
The picturesque valley where Aria is located is known as the “Valley of a Thousand Palms”, but there are many more of them. Many of them are said to have retained traces of the fire that scorched them during a pirate attack in 1586.
From the village you can drive to the observation deck, which overlooks the western coast.
There is a dirt road leading to the lookout, which Mapsme does not recommend driving on. But the beetle confidently coped with light off-road, confirming the idea that for travel, the presence of all-wheel drive is desirable, but not a necessary condition.
South of Arrecife, a large part of the island is filled with lava. I have already talked about volcanoes, so I will not repeat myself.
Volcanoes are a must have, of course. Is it worth it to go directly to the park for this? Probably not.
It is better to make an independent ascent to one of the volcanoes located outside the park. They are low, the walk took us about 3 hours.
In the neighborhood, by the way, is La Geria, an area of vineyards and wineries. But I do not advise combining volcanoes and wine in one day.
To the west of Timanfaya are the old salt pans of Las Salinas de Janubi, where salt is evaporated from sea water. Now they are still functioning, but not on an industrial scale, but on a souvenir scale. If you twist the settings in the lightroom very much, you can make them look like a palette of watercolors, with which we went to art lessons at school.
Just behind the saltworks is a beach with black volcanic sand, the same as that which is fertile soil for vines. Sunbathing on the black sand in the Canarian climate is a great pleasure. The main thing is to find a place to which the waves will not reach.
The waves there are powerful and you can look at them for an infinitely long time.
For this, an observation deck was built near the road, but it is better to walk to the opposite end of the beach.
If you drive a little further along the road, you can arrive at the village of El Golfo. A very picturesque place on the cliffs near the ocean, besides, they say, there are excellent fish restaurants. Unfortunately, while we were admiring the waves, Natasha was flooded with sneakers, so a pair of dry shoes became the most interesting attraction for her.
From El Golfo, a path runs along the coast, after a few hundred meters you can see the green lake of Charco de los Clicos. This lake, the color of an overgrown country pond (in fact, microorganisms actively multiplying in warm water give it color), surrounded by red volcanic mountains, is a place of pilgrimage for all package tourists, bus parking, souvenirs, photos on the background of the lake and other delights of life are attached.
The southernmost city of Lanzarote is Puerto Blanca, where ferries come from all the other islands (except Graciosa).
Once there, I realized how lucky we were to live in a quiet and peaceful Arrecife, devoid of crowds of tourists. Even weaned from the fact that there can be so many of them.
The main attraction of Puerto Blanca is the Underwater Sculpture Museum. This is a good example of the fact that out of nothing you can make an interesting attraction, where you can make money. At a depth of about 14 meters, not far from Papagayo beach, there are compositions of sculptures. The only underwater museum in the world, area – 2500 sq. meters. (the pictures are not mine, I stole them from the museum website)
Here they are lying a little, he is not the only one, on the same Tarkhankut there is a similar museum with busts of the leaders of the proletariat and statues of the Soviet era (bugler, girl with an oar and their friends) , though wild and independent. And in terms of area, not everyone can immediately calculate that 2500 sq. meters is a square of 50 to 50. But the museum is cool, and the very idea of organizing it is even cooler.
Visits are made through local diving clubs. If there is no license confirming diving experience, then training is conducted in the morning, and in the afternoon diving into the museum. The most difficult thing in learning is not to burst from gluttony and get into a suit after dinner. It’s tough considering how delicious (and big) the seafood paella is.
What else is worth seeing? Of course castles! If I’m not mistaken, there are four of them.
Castle in Puerto Blanca. Yes, this is a small building the size of a country house – a castle.
Castillo de San Gabriel is a small fortress, the entrance to which is decorated with two cannons. It was built at the end of the 16th century. on an island near Arrecife.
The island is connected to the city by a causeway and an elegant 18th century bridge. It houses the Archaeological Museum of Lanzarote.
The second castle in Arrecife is Castillo de San José.
The castle was built in the east of Arrecife to protect the main port of the island. Now the castle houses a museum of modern art, created in 1976 on the initiative of Cesar Manrique, the most famous native of Lanzarote. The artist gathered in the museum a large collection of abstract paintings and sculptures of the 50-70s.
The largest of the castles is Santa Barbara, due to its location in the center of the island, it was the main defensive fortification, treasury and everything valuable was hidden from pirates.
Now it houses a museum of piracy.
Lanzarote has no bright sights, but all of the above together with beautiful nature in its own way, ports, marinas and a positive attitude towards life add up to a vivid picture.
As I already wrote, there is a certain effect of Lanzarote, which consists in a slight misunderstanding of the island during your stay on it, which is replaced by sadness immediately after parting with it.
Amazing Canaries: what to see on Lanzarote
Why Lanzarote?
My husband and I live in France. We try to go somewhere a couple of times a year. And in the winter we were drawn to the exotic, so we decided to fly to the Canary Islands. Both my husband and I wanted to go there for a long time, but the prices, to be honest, were biting. But this time we got an excellent 5-star hotel for half the price. There was no doubt – we book accommodation and take tickets!
For the flight and hotel (7 nights) we paid €500 for two. In Lanzarote flew from Toulouse 3.5 hours.
It was the middle of December, the weather at that time on the island is excellent (16-17 degrees, but in that climate it feels like 22-25 somewhere). Perfect timing, really. And the discounts are really very good. For the same New Year there were simply exorbitant prices, so we were lucky.
Where to live in Lanzarote?
We settled in Melia Salinas (Costa Teguise), 10 minutes walk from the ocean.
We arrived from the airport at night, and dinner was waiting for us at the hotel. I liked everything in the hotel: the staff is polite, the surroundings are beautiful, comfortable and quiet. By the way, small children are not allowed in this hotel. There is an age limit up to 7 or 10 years, it seems.
The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and a heated Jacuzzi. It is, of course, happiness to relax overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. You are completely in your thoughts, admiring the beauty of the world, and at the same time no one distracts you. The hotel was half empty.
The kitchen in the hotel was also a pleasant surprise. Every day they arranged a gastronomic program from different countries. If the cuisine is Japan, then, accordingly, everything is thematic, even Japanese-style dishes. Food was included in the price of our package, wine had to be ordered separately. If you do not drink a bottle in the evening, the waiters bring it the next day.
Even in the hotel restaurant, I discovered different types of salt, tried black, pink, blue. I remember that we immediately googled why this salt is like this, and this one is like that. Our favorite was pink, Himalayan. We now buy it online. It is cleaner and has a different taste. Well, now, actually, about the trip.
How to get around Lanzarote?
The best option is to rent a car. We did just that. 6 days of riding for 100 euros. Rental points are everywhere. It is better, of course, to book a car in advance online by choosing the nearest point to the hotel. In the Canary Islands, gasoline is quite inexpensive, you can travel around the entire island.
What to see in Lanzarote?
Everything on the island was a novelty for me, I photographed every tree. I advise you to see the following places with your own eyes.
Timanfaya
Everyone knows that the island is called “the land of fire-breathing mountains”, and in the Timanfaya National Park, you understand why that is so.
The fact is that there are about 220 dormant volcanoes. This is a huge fenced area with unusual alien landscapes. The ground is covered with sand and stones, which you can easily cut yourself on. It is clear that independent walks are not allowed there.
You arrive at the entrance, then you get on the bus (they leave every 10-20 minutes) and you are taken throughout that territory.
The entrance fee to Tamanfaya is 10 euros (free for children), the price already includes a half-hour excursion. Our bus had three languages: Spanish, English, German. Facts, of course, can always be googled, but you will not see this spectacle anywhere else. You go and feel like you’re on Mars. You also feel deep respect for what the locals have done. But, of course, it strikes on the spot that literally at a depth of several meters, right under your feet, the volcano does not sleep, and the temperature underground reaches 600 ° C!
Lanzarote tropical island of extinct velkans
Summary of the article
Tourists come to Lanzarote not for beaches and entertainment.
The island, which is located less than 140 kilometers from the African continent, attracts with hundreds of craters of extinct volcanoes, a fantastic and mysterious landscape.
Lanzarote impresses with the play of light. A unique phenomenon occurs due to the combination of contrasting landscapes – snow-white sand and dark lava.
Location and climate
In the Atlantic Ocean, more than 1000 km from the coast of Spain and very close to Morocco, the Canary Islands are scattered. Lanzarote is not as famous as Tenerife and is much smaller in area. About 150 thousand people live on it, and more than a million visit every year. The archipelago is an autonomous part of Spain. Lanzarote is named after a merchant from Genoa who sailed here more than half a century ago.
In 1730, volcanoes came to life on the island. As a result of their eruption, a third of the territory was covered with ash, covered with magma. Instead of green palms and lush grass, much of Lanzorote has colorful lava fields.
Craters are reminiscent of the former greatness of volcanoes that do not sleep, but only lurk for a while. Dry grass, falling into the recess, lights up with a bright fire.
The island of Lanzarote, which is located on the 29th parallel, has a subtropical climate. Throughout the year, the temperature changes by only a few degrees. Cool weather in Lanzarote lasts from December to February, but the sun warms up the air above 24.
Winds constantly blow from the northeast to the island, softening the heat. Thanks to them, the heat is not felt even in July and August. The trade winds on Lanzarote are silent by September, when the water in the ocean reaches 23 degrees, it is not warmer due to the cold Canary current, but does not fall below 19not in one season. Infrequent clouds quickly fly over the island without shedding a single drop of rain. The weather of Lanzarote pleases with a large number of sunny days.
A hot wind brings hot and dry air from the African Sahara to the island.
The sun hides behind a haze, the streets are covered with sand. This phenomenon happens in Lanzarote only a few times a year.
Resorts and beaches
Although civilization reached the island, it did not even try to destroy its originality. Skyscrapers are not built in Lanzarote, low hotels do not obscure the mysterious landscapes, houses are built in the traditional Canarian style. Despite this, the island has excellent infrastructure. Lanzarote hotels are in no way inferior to European establishments. Tourists can easily stay in inexpensive apartments or rent an exclusive room in a presentable hotel with a spa.
The coastline of the island stretches for only 150 kilometers. There are not as many beaches in Lanzarote as in Tenerife or Gran Canaria, but they are all well-maintained and well-groomed, admission is free.
The main city of Lanzarote – Arrecife is located on the site of a village that appeared in the XIV century. In it, both the indigenous inhabitants of the island and the pirates hid from the hurricane wind.
Passenger liners enter Arrecife. Tourists visit the resort to visit the ancient fortresses, relax on the Playa del Reducto beach.
Costa Teguise grew up in Lanzarote at the end of the last century. The resort town was built according to the project of the famous Cesar Manrique. Its center is made in the form of a fishing village, where restaurants and cafes work, festivals are held. Courts, golf courses, a water park are equipped for guests of Lanzarote, diving and surfing are taught in special centers.
In a small town Puerto Calero rich and noble people rest, they are attracted to this resort of Lanzarote by the silence, the absence of noisy nightclubs. Rich yachts moor at the parking lot, and walks along the ocean begin from it. The museum is interesting to get acquainted with the marine inhabitants of the archipelago – dolphins and whales.
In Playa Blanca , which is located in the south of Lanzarote, families with children and young people who love diving and surfing feel great.
The resort attracts with wild beaches with white sand and a yacht club from which walks are organized. On the rocky cape of this city of Lanzarote, you can see the tower Castillos Colorados , which was built as an outpost in the 18th century and has been well preserved to this day.
Guests of the resort Puerto del Carmen are expected in nightlife, invited to restaurants, luxury hotels. The old center of this town of Lanzarote with its narrow lanes resembles a fishing village. Life here is in full swing at any time of the day. The beaches, which stretch for 6 km, please with cleanliness.
Resort La Santa Sport was created for those tourists who love sports. There are grounds for aerobics, yoga, badminton. Guests of Lanzarote are invited to tennis courts, spacious swimming pools. A few kilometers away is Famara Beach, where huge waves encourage surfing.
Natural attractions
Lanzarote is called the island of fire because of the large number of pink and black craters, lava fields and volcanoes that are its symbol.
Tourists are amazed by the mysterious and unique landscapes. The sights of Lanzarote leave a special impression:
- volcano craters;
- caves;
- natural parks;
- tunnels.
By renting a car, you can drive around the entire small island, take pictures against the backdrop of the raging ocean and the unusual landscape of Lanzarote.
A desert covered with lava from basalt, a sea of craters rises before the eyes of tourists in the National Park Timanfaya (el parque de Timanfaya – Spanish), covering an area of more than 50 km. After the last volcanic eruption, which happened in Lanzarote at the beginning of the 19th century, the land was not cultivated here, and people decided to preserve the harsh and beautiful landscapes without changing anything. Paths are laid along the territory of Timanfaya Park, along which tourists are taken by bus and on a camel. On the tour you can see the emerald-colored lake, which is located at the bottom of one of the craters.
Lanzarote National Park (El parque nacional de lanzarote – Spanish) borders on the La Geria area, where grapes are grown, from the berries of which they make muscatel and malvasia. The vine grows well in holes broken in warm volcanic lava, gives a rich harvest.
In the south of Lanzarote, near the village of El Gofro, there is a volcano crater resembling an amphitheatre. At its foot there is a lagoon up to 10 meters deep. It strikes with a bright green color, which is given by algae that grow rapidly. Against the background of the blue sky and black volcanic sand, the lagoon looks unrealistically beautiful. No wonder near the lake Charco de los Clicos was filmed about life on earth a million years ago.
The real miracle of Lanzarote, created by nature, are the caves of Hameos del Agua (la cueva hameos-del-agua), riddled with underground passages. One of them, Jameo Grande, designed by Cesar Manrique, impresses with a real tropical garden and an artificial lake.
The unique monument of the island tunnel Cueva de los Verdes (túnel de la cueva de los verdes) appeared during the eruption of Monte Corona on Lanzarote thousands of years ago. The burning lava that rushed down at great speed formed spacious galleries and narrow corridors. A two-tiered cave stretches from the crater to the ocean shore. All passageways are illuminated. Through them, tourists enter a real concert hall with excellent acoustics, which is created by lava walls.
Places of interest Lanzarote
The fortress called Castillo de San Gabriel (El castillo de san gabriel) is located on a small island, which is connected by an elegant bridge with the capital of Lanzarote. The entrance to the fortification, built in the 16th century, is guarded by 2 cannons. Inside there is a museum of archeology.

The artist, who was born and worked in Lanzarote, devoted a considerable part of his life to the creation of this piece of architecture.
Cactus Park was also created on the island by Cesar Manrique and fits perfectly into the natural landscape. A staircase leads down from the gate, decorated with wrought iron. On the territory of this amazing park of Lanzarote, over 1000 species of cacti have been collected:
giant and miniature;
smooth and prickly;
fluffy and colorful.
The project was created on the basis of Japanese gardens using elements of painting and sculpture. Jardin de Cactus is located on the site of a volcano and is shaped like a crater.

As a rule, novice surfers choose the Kuta area, since its conditions are as close as possible to the beginner’s expectations. In Kuta, you will find a sandy bottom, waves up to three meters high and a huge number of surf schools right on the ocean. In addition, it is the center of the youth life of the island, entertainment is available here day and night. To make your learning experience as enjoyable and affordable as possible, we’ve put together a guide to Kuta’s budget surf schools.
There are several Russian language schools in Bali. There are also international ones. The former will provide you with a service in Russian, the latter in English. In Russian-speaking schools, instructors come from Russia, and in international schools, they come from Indonesia. Most of the time they speak English well. As the analysis showed, training in international surf schools is cheaper. However, before you happily go to a lesson with the locals, make sure that your knowledge of English is above the intermediate level, as the development of surfing theory you will have to do in English. It’s not as easy as it seems at first glance. If you doubt your knowledge of a foreign language, it is better to pay $20 more in a Russian-speaking school and be sure that everything will be clear to you.
To learn how to surf in Bali, a beginner needs on average 6 lessons in a group or 4 private lessons with an instructor (group lessons are cheaper).
What will you learn during this time?

It is recommended to take a rest break for 1-2 days between classes, because surfing is a serious load for the body. Each lesson lasts an average of 2-3 hours. As a rule, 6 lessons fit into 10-14 days of vacation. With a good combination of natural circumstances and your desire for 6 surfing lessons, it is possible to really succeed in riding a board. It is recommended to limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the eve of the lesson.
For a complete surfing experience in Bali, we advise you to come to a surf camp. Almost all schools on the island organize surf camps. Their program usually includes trips around the island, acquaintance with the culture and nature of Bali. The beauty of volcanoes, waterfalls and beaches is amazing.

Last year, the James Cook research vessel set out to encounter unique and unexplored corals, this time in the deep ocean. Led by ERC grantee Dr Laura Robinson (University of Bristol, UK), the team on board crossed the equatorial Atlantic to take samples of deep-sea corals, reaching depths of thousands of meters. On the expedition, Dr Robinson collected samples that are shedding light on past climate changes and she will share her findings at TEDx Brussels. 
Projections indicate that by 2100, around 70% of deep water corals are likely to be living in undersaturated waters.
The multidisciplinary team brought together ideas from diverse fields, including oceanography, geochemistry and marine biology, in order to cross frontiers in our present knowledge of the oceans.
She will speak at the ERC session, starting at 2.15 pm.
You will be able to find Trumpet Fish, Trigger Fish, Cuttle Fish, Octopus, the occasional ray and the odd Angel Shark (Nov – April).
We then are able to swim down to a small wreck that lies at 28 meters. There’s many types of Ray that live at this site. Atlantic rays, common rays and eagle rays. Other life includes Damsels, a ball of Roncadores, Trumpet fish, Roncadores and Weavers. Great dive for photography.
Angel Sharks and Rays live here, with the reef offering everything from Damsels to Moray Eels.
All this will hopefully bring back the many types of fish and make this site more beautiful. 
Excellent for photography, wreck and deep specialty dives. A must for all wreck dive lovers. 
You will fall in love with the volcanic landscape, the tropical trees and the sunny weather in an instant. But what about the fauna that awaits you under the ocean? Let’s explore the marine life of Tenerife in this article, so you know what to expect during your dives.
You must know, that all fish are naturally peaceful here but certain moves and provocative behavior can trigger their defenses.
They are not dangerous at all, provided you are not disturbing their peaceful relaxation.
They can grow as long as 1 meter, and you can identify them from their long, saber shaped body, which makes them unmistakable. They are not harmful at all, they are extremely elusive.
They are very curious and trusting, like to be around divers. They always move in groups of varying size, and their favourite habitat is near platforms, reefs or other rocky features. 
You can undoubtedly recognize them from their bright, navy-blue colour.
From guided dives through gear rental to taking the PADI and BSAC exams, you can do it all with Atlantic Divers, located in Costa del Silencio. 
The average air temperature ranges from 18C/64F in winter to 26C/78F in summer. The average sea temperature varies from 19C/66F in winter to 24C/75F in summer. The average visibility is from 10-30m/32-98ft.
Along the coast to Santa Cruz de Tenerife there is some good diving. Divers of all diver levels can choose the various type of diving: cave, wall, reef, wreck, rocky platform.
The Canary Islands, part of Spain but with a slightly different culture and life approach, can definitely surprise you.
The water temperature ranges from 19°C to 24°C.
The pilot whale belongs to the dolphin family. It isn’t rare to see the creatures in the waters surrounding the island. Throughout the year, you can see different kinds of whales and dolphins. Spotted dolphins and Eden’s whales are among them.
Its body can grow up to 150 cm across. Typically, it can be seen swimming a few meters above the sand.
If they are frightened, you might start worrying. So, don’t try to scare them.
You can find the biggest Moray Eels here at great depths.
Originally, it was a concrete freighter that crashed about 50 years ago. The underwater volcanic seascape gradually drops deeper, offering a perfect habitat for octopuses, glass eye fish, trumpetfish, barracudas, groupers, rays, and little moray eels.
The dive site has a variety of diving spots.
Las Eras is famous for its rays. There is a breathtaking reef just outside the bay, where divers can dive between five and 35 meters deep. Marine life is abundant, especially barracuda and trumpet fish, even at shallow depths.
You can, however, choose much more places, depending on your location, languages spoken, and purposes.

We use a special technique to lure the fish directly under the boat, this is a very accurate and efficient technique. 
Therefore, you can always contact us at any time. 
This is a one and a half kilometer artificial beach, to which yellow sand from the African Sahara was brought by barges in the 1970s to replace the local black volcanic origin. The strip of beaches stretches to the very mountain of La Esperanza, whose slopes are covered with plantations of Canarian pines. 
There are especially many shops, shops and boutiques on Plaza La Candelaria and the pedestrian street Calle de Castillo, perpendicular to the square. 
In the very center of the square – the monument to the Fallen in the Spanish Civil War 1936-39 years 
In addition, the island has a Museum of Military History, located on the shore of the bay next to the Royal Tenerife Yacht Club and the Nautical School. 
Here are six stepped pyramids erected by the aborigines of the Canary Islands by the Guanaches, oriented strictly to the cardinal points like the Egyptian ones. 
Let’s get started! 
The province was named after this cross, and the cross itself is still kept in the temple “Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción” 
But for Santa Cruz, you can allocate a day for excursions, shopping and just walking. In the article about the sights of Tenerife, we already wrote about interesting places in the capital that are worth seeing. 
The temple until 1638 was called the Church of the Holy Cross (Spanish: Santa Cruz), hence the name of the city. From the square where the temple is located, the construction of today’s capital began. 
It was depicted on one of the postage stamps, and the acoustics of the hall is considered one of the best in the world. 
An integral part of the square is the Avenue of the Duke of St. Helena (Spanish: Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena), planted with trees. 
There is also a flowerbed with the “Flower Clock” and alleys with sculptures of the last century, and in the central square with a fountain there are sculptures of the mayor Garcia Sanabria and Dr. Gigo, thanks to whom this park was created. 
80 for children under 12 
Tickets for this procession are not needed, people will walk the streets of the city like a multi-colored snake and rejoice at the beginning of the holidays. 
The beach is wide, well-equipped and has a length of about 1200 meters. The only thing I don’t like there is the constant wind and fine sand in the face (perhaps we were so lucky with the weather). 
The main temple of the city is the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The building was founded in 1500, burned down in 1653. Architects have been restoring the masterpiece for two centuries. The church was built in the Italian style. 
Adjacent to the church is a sanctuary (deposit of the statue) and a Dominican monastery. The top of the basilica is represented by a 25 m long bell tower. The exterior of the building is decorated in the Moorish style, the interior decoration corresponds to the classical canons of the Catholic Church. 
Today the church is a national monument of local architecture. The interior is being restored by architects. 
Glazed openings add dynamism to the building. 
The park has been declared a Special Protected Bird Area due to the habitat of more than 100 species of birds, including living relics (laurel and Canary pigeons). 
A secluded spot in the northeast of Tenerife promises tourists peace, quiet splashing of the ocean waves and enjoyment of the beauty of the landscape. 
The time of their construction dates back to 2004-2006. Their height – 120 m – makes them an obligatory object to visit. Modern buildings take the third place among the tallest buildings in Spain. The idea of building skyscrapers belongs to Julian Valladares. The building of the Auditorio de Tenerife concert hall is considered the symbol of Santa Cruz. 
Tourists may stumble upon the marine fauna of Tenerife: dolphins, whales, flying fish. 
Instead of “A” two hearts are depicted. 
Well, why not visit Teresias Beach
The exceptions are Spanish brands: Desigual, Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Mango (synchronously with the mainland).

But if you have a couple of weeks off work in April or May, this chance should be used! At this time, in many resorts it is already possible to swim. In Russia, of course, even on the Black Sea coast, the water warms up only by the end of May. But abroad there are many countries where in April you can have a great time on the beach. 
Not far from the city is the Timna Valley. A huge park has been created in it, in which historical sights coexist with natural ones. 
Connect for free – pay only when you use the Internet while traveling.
It is located south of mainland China and has a subequatorial climate. There are more than 300 sunny days a year, and the water warms up to +28 °C by the beginning of April. In May, the water can be even warmer, but the air temperature also rises, and not everyone can tolerate the heat well. 
The water on the coast near Havana, Varadero and Santiago de Cuba warms up at this time to + 25-27 ° C. 
About 130 rare plants grow here, and the bottom around the island is an amazingly beautiful protected reef zone. 
The water is warm and the fish are curious. As you explore the reef, you may notice that the school is following you around. Since the reef is very shallow, you will immediately see all its beauty, from black angelfish with bright blue coloration, to colorful parrot fish and countless other creatures. 
During the day, tourist catamarans also moor close to the pier, but they do not interfere. 
Cofete is sheltered by the mountain range of Jandia Natural Park making it difficult to access – but the rewards are huge for doing so.
While not necessarily dangerous, this part does require confidence in the first gear and brakes of your car.
Never travel without it!
We’re glad to help.

You could go there by car, but the road gets very bad, or you could make the climb by foot. Villa Winter was built by Gustav Winter and there is a great mystery surrounding it. Some say that the Winter family moved here only to escape the bad climate in Germany, while others say that the man was actually involved with the Nazis. Nothing is certain and the villa is now deserted.
Admission is free of charge.
Hidden in the windward part of the peninsula, this incredible beach—measuring more than 12 kilometres long—remains something of a secret, shielded by the mountain range of the Jandía Natural Park. The peninsula’s mountain range drops abruptly on the same side as the Cofete beach. This, combined with its difficult access, makes it a practically virgin beach.
This wall served to separate the island’s two populations: Maxorata in the north, and Jandía in the southern peninsula.
5 kilometres outside of Morro Jable, you will come across the turn-off for Cofete. This point marks the beginning of the forest trail. This route pierces the mountain range that splits the Jandía Peninsula into two parts: barlovento (windward) and sotavento (leeward). The Mirador del Barranco Agua Oveja viewpoint is located around two kilometres along this track. This spot offers a striking and moving panoramic view over the entire beach. From here onwards, the constantly winding track will descend into the small village of Cofete.
The sheer size of this beach and its complicated access make it a relatively uncrowded spot. Visitors to this beach are overcome by a strange sensation of solitude, underlined by an unmistakeable feeling of fulfilment.
The Villa Winter, in fact, has been the source of inspiration for several novels, including Fuerteventura by Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa.
Cofete is the most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura, well even in the Canary Islands and perhaps one of the most amazing beaches in the world! No kidding. However, getting there is not too easy. Hence read this guide to prepare for your trip to Cofete. 
When you first reach Cofete, make sure to stop at the viewpoint here. You can take amazing shots of the beach and Pico de la Zarza. This is probably when you will agree that this beach is one of the most amazing one in the world!
However, this place is full of mysteries and legends. Indeed, it was apparently a hideout for the Nazis !!?
Now, be aware that to get to Cofete from Morro Jable it will take about 1 hour driving through a terrible unpaved road. This is why getting to Cofete must be earned. In all our posts about Fuerteventura, we strongly recommend to rent a SUV or 4×4 when visiting the island. Many roads are totally unpaved in Fuerteventura. 
And we weren’t the only one. Just take it super slow. 
Don’t hesitate, you can book this tour directly here. 
There is only 1 house, you will spot it straight away. So far so good…
It is usually quite full around noon. Location. 
It’s beautiful. You can book it here.

Some researchers maintain that they were merely heaps of stones left by farmers clearing the land for cultivation. Others have more in-depth inkling and explanations.
From the outside, the museum is dazzling with its chic colors contrasting with the blue skies and lush landscape behind. Upon entrance, the statue of Kon-Tiki, a pre-Incan sun god, welcomes the visitors.
From the town center, it would be easier to follow these GPS coordinates: 28.3208° N, 16.4138° W.
Rather, the connection of these structures and other bits and pieces of the park to Canary Island’s history and heritage is what truly captivates the hearts and minds of the visitors.
Children would also enjoy a visit to the park, as the gardens are large and there are enough things to see in order to keep you all occupied for a few hours.
The garden was created in collaboration with the University of La Laguna and you can see here the characteristic flora, as well as other Canarian plants.

It is also proposed that the pyramids were made in the 19th century because pottery said to be dating back to that time was found in excavations carried out by archaeologists from the University of La Laguna. 
In 1991, Juan Antonio Belmonte Avilés, Antonio Aparicio Juan, and César Esteban López, who were researchers from the Canary Institute of Astrophysics, demonstrated that the long sides of some of the terraces surrounding the pyramids of Güímar marked the direction of winter and summer solstices. 
They made pottery though and had knowledge of basic farming and foraging from the wild. They also practiced embalming and the mummification of their dead, as well as trepanation of the living. The mummies were left in caves but other Guanche corpses of a lower social standing were buried. 
The village of Santa Barbara, near Icod de los Vinos, has several pyramids with a large one situated in the middle of a farmer’s land. 
.. Archeologists and historians are still searching for more clues about their presence, and how they survived and evolved in the archipelago. It’s still a work in progress, and for some a great mystery.” 
One of the more intriguing possibilities for the tourist will be the Pyramids of Güímar, which are the subject of a huge number of articles online, most of which will claim something about how these “six step pyramids are still a mystery to archaeologists.”
Ancient aliens do, inevitably, make brief appearances, including as one of the (incorrect) theories proposed for the Mauritian pyramids. This, I think, is the genius of the book; in structure it resembles the (pseudo) archaeological books that fascinated me as a teenager, taking the reader through the various outlandish possibilities, drawing the reader in with pictures and diagrams, but unlike the Erich von Dänikens of the world, evidence and facts are given due and appropriate weight, and the actual explanation emerges.
”
The book quotes late nineteenth century Belgian traveller Jules Leclercq: 
On the contrary, it is gaining time for the future, Stones that have been stacked this way, will not disturb again. Our farmers were patient, wise and hard workers, real artists of the land.
I’ve barely scratched the surface with the evidence presented on the Canary Islands, let alone the other three chapters, and while I disagree in places with the author (I’m no expert, but doubt that the conquest of the islands and subsequent assimilation of the natives was really “voluntary”) I did enjoy the book, and feel a lot better informed for having read it. 
The Pyramids of Giza in Egypt are famously the most popular pyramid structures on this Earth, yet other historical places like Intiwuatana in Machu Picchu, Monte Alban in Mexico, Brihadisvara Temple in India and Angkor Wat in Cambodia take pyramid form as well. While most of these structures were built for religious purposes, signifying the importance of life after death through glorification, most of the ancient civilization’s motives and processes behind the execution of these colossal structures in this specific shape remains an undiscovered mystery to most people. While Europe isn’t that famous for having ancient pyramids, as there is no evidence of any ancient civilization attempting to build one there; it seems that the Canary Islands beg to differ. Geographically, the islands are closer to the continent of Africa, which lends well to the justification of the ancient Güímar Pyramids being there. Politically, the Canary Islands are considered to be an autonomous community of Spain, thus making them a part of Europe, and Güímar Pyramids the first and only ancient European pyramids.
He theorized that they were built at a time when people were traversing the oceans and that they were linked to the pyramid building of Egypt (at the eastern point of the African continent) and Central America (at the western point across the ocean). Heyerdahl suggested that the structures were not haphazardly piled-up stones, and he maintained a belief in the hypothesis that the pyramids were connected with Guanches. We don’t know a lot about the Guanches, but what we do know is taken from the writings of the Spanish Chroniclers and archaeological discoveries made. The Guanches were the Indigenous inhabitants of Tenerife, believed to have arrived on the archipelago sometime in the first millennium BC. The aforementioned documentations state that they were hunter-gatherer tribes that are genetically linked to modern North African Berbers, however some historians suggest that they were originally inhabitants of Atlantis that survived and were very tall with clear rosy skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.
It is quite clear that the history is too unclear on this ancient civilization, however it is thoroughly argued that the pyramids in the region are products of their very existence.
One of the most interesting gardens is the Poisonous Garden, which contains the most dangerous species of plants in the world – fully instructive on the plant’s medical uses, myths and legends. The town of Güímar also offers great volcanic landscapes with places like the Natural Reserve of Malpaís de Güímar..
They are still a mystery to archaeologists. The Pyramids of Guimar include six step pyramids with a rectangular ground plan reaching a maximum height of about 12 metres. They have a noticeable similarity to the pyramids built by the Maya and Aztecs in Mexico. They are rubble-filled with facings of black volcanic stone and are the result of multiple episodes of construction.
However, one perceptive native described them to Thor Heyerdahl of Kon Tiki fame and a leading proponent of cultural diffusion across all oceans.
They were neither terraces nor random piles of stone cleared by the Spaniards, as some had tried to explain them away. They were painstakingly built step-pyramids, constructed according to similar principles as those of Mexico, Peru, and ancient Mesopotamia.
Scientists believe that the Güimar pyramids were created by farmers who, while cultivating the land, found stones and piled them outside the cultivated land. 
In addition, Heyerdahl claims that all the pyramids of Guimar have a certain astronomical orientation. On the day of the summer solstice, if you climb to the top of the largest pyramid of Guimar, you can see an interesting phenomenon: the sun sets twice, when it falls over the top of the mountain, then rises and again falls over the top of the neighboring mountain. All the pyramids of Guimar on the western side have stairs, on the day of the winter solstice they accurately indicate the sunrise. 
There are also a lot of incomprehensible things about where the Guanches came from in the Canary Islands. It is quite difficult to sail to the Canaries from northern Morocco due to sea currents, the way from Europe is much easier.

That is, the pyramids do not stand apart, but as if inscribed in a giant blueprint. 
More precise information about when and why they were built is not indicated. 
The pyramids turned out to be built from pieces of solidified lava, and not from ordinary boulders collected from the fields. 
Thor Heyerdahl was the initiator of its creation. In addition to the pyramids, there are pavilions dedicated to the expeditions of the Tour and the theories of the emergence of the pyramids. 
Each plant has an information stand 
Or just take a taxi. 
But after the discovery of America, the Europeans suddenly learned that the Mayan and Aztec civilizations that they conquered also created the pyramids. At the same time, the opinion was formed in the historical community that the pyramids in the past were built only by representatives of these two ancient civilizations. 
The tourist added that, in her opinion, the pyramids were built by an extraterrestrial civilization. 
For a couple of centuries, local residents simply pilfered three pyramids for building materials. The length of the bases of the pyramids varies from 16 to 83 meters. Height exceeds 12 meters. 
All these religious buildings were distinguished by one thing – a strictly defined astronomical orientation. 
The pyramids were built not from cobblestones collected in the fields, but from pieces of cooled magma. 
Here you can spend the whole day in an interesting and informative way: learn the secrets of the Canarian pyramids, look into the pavilions with exhibitions of ethnographic exhibits, ceramics, paintings, ship models … Watch a film about the expeditions of the scientist and traveler Thor Heyerdahl, relax in a cafe, and then take a walk in the garden poisonous plants. 
There was a version that farmers put stones dug out when plowing the land into pyramids. Stone terraces served as protective structures – in the mountains they prevented the top layer of soil from being washed away from the fields. There are similar structures on the northern mountain slopes of the Canaries, and their construction was expedient there. 
Even before Columbus, people could make trips on primitive ships. Heyerdahl proved his theory in 1970 by walking 6000 km along the ancient route on a papyrus boat – the legendary RA – II. 
On the land plot of the ethnographic park there are botanical and ecological gardens, as well as a garden of poisonous plants, where more than 70 species of poisonous and even deadly representatives of the flora are collected.

It is believed that initially there were at least 9 mounds in this part of the island, but only 6 have survived to this day. It was they who formed the basis of the large Ethnographic Park, created in 1998 by Thor Heyerdahl, the famous Norwegian archaeologist, writer and traveler. 
Interestingly, most of the structures have survived to our times in their original form. The only exception was the pyramids No. 5 and 6, which in the late 90s. last century were subject to large-scale reconstruction. By the way, at about the same period, archaeological excavations were carried out on the territory of the complex, initiated by archaeologists from the University of La Laguna. In the process of these works, several interesting artifacts were found dating back to 680-1020 AD (the remains of household utensils, vines, ceramics, human bones, etc.). True, none of these finds allowed scientists to establish at least an approximate time for the appearance of these mounds. 
Now there are several tourist routes connected with the nature, culture and history of the island of Tenerife. 
In addition, Heyerdahl managed to find out that tribes of Guanches, Canarian aborigines, lived in local caves. Perhaps they were the authors of this structure. 
However, ancient images found during archaeological excavations indicate that such structures could be seen not only here, but also in other parts of Tenerife. Moreover, even in those where no traces of human activity were found. Local residents claim that over time, most of them were dismantled and used as cheap building material. 
Currently, a documentary is being shown here about the amazing coincidences between the cultures of different peoples and an exhibition is shown that tells about the life and work of Thor Heyerdahl;

It is notable for the fact that they found a statue of the Guanches, the indigenous inhabitants of the Canary archipelago, in Tenerife right on the beach, no later than in the XIV century AD. According to legend, two shepherds (and this was the main profession in the peaceful Guanche tribe) saw a black girl with a baby in her arms. As they got closer, they found a statue of dark wood in the sand. She became a shrine until the Spanish colonizers identified her as the Catholic Virgin Mary! The Guanches revered her as the goddess of the Sun, not forgetting about their other pagan gods, which surprised the Spaniards very much. 
Chingaro Cave (El Parque Arqueológicoy Religioso de Chinguaro) can be visited today. 
They resemble stepped structures in Peru and Mexico, but who erected them and when is still a mystery. The stones from which they are built were carefully processed, and the earth was brought here and rammed without the use of mechanisms. If you like exciting adventures and mysterious places, then you should definitely visit among the pyramids!

.. Self-evidence does not need definitions.” 
Similarly, a terminally ill person is taken to the hospital, and they do not reassure him that he will heal himself on his own or cope with internal reserves. 
If the Church is a hospital, then it is absurd to condemn other patients for having different illnesses (passions) than you… 
Christ crucified, desecrated, tortured. And it was here, at this place of shameful execution, that the Heavenly Powers were. Here were the Mother of God, the Apostle John the Theologian, the myrrh-bearing women. But it was very difficult to understand, to recognize this presence of God. And those who passed by Golgotha blasphemed Christ, saying: “Come down from the cross, save yourself.” 
e. behind all the usual human fuss, in the context of centuries-old traditions and rituals that are difficult for a newly come person to understand, to hear the word of Christ, to feel the love of Christ, to feel the mysterious breath of the grace of God.

Why is the Church needed if you can communicate with God on your own? 
” 
When pressured to defend his authority, Paul appeals to his status as the messenger of the resurrected Jesus (Gal. 1:16). He tells the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 12:28) that in the Christian community God placed the first apostles. The Epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. 2:20) mentions that the apostles laid the foundation of God’s house. 
All this from the church point of view is not a proper basis for baptism. 
After all, it is not enough to plant a seed in the right soil – you need to make sure that weeds do not damage it, that there is enough moisture and nutrients so that the sun does not burn it out. It is the same with baptism – by itself, automatically, it does not save. 
First of all, I’m talking about parents who bring their child to communion (often so that they “do not get sick or study well”, which is absurd in itself), but do not take communion themselves. It will be absolutely understandable that this child will have a rejection of the church, especially in adolescence. /0e5c9270a8a7240.ru.s.siteapi.org/img/dbe2754e7e68f39943fcff7773b57a95fe34f249.jpg)
Then he will start making independent decisions and, most likely, will vote with his feet – away from the church. 
The principle of unconditional acceptance should become the basic principle, which means respect, openness, indulgence to some sometimes harsh, provocative forms of self-expression or statements. At the same time, there is something in which we must remain, in my opinion, fundamental – namely, in the key moral and value orientations regarding God’s commandments. 
28:19). In addition, the apostles, as members of the Heavenly Church, are now participating in church life. 
2:2). 
Neither the determination to change their lives, nor even the thought of it – therefore the church is powerless to help them.

The Church is united by one faith, actualized through the essentially identical religious experience of communion and unity with God “in Christ”. According to the metaphor of the Apostle Paul, the church is the Body of Christ, and Christ himself is its Head. The animating, life-giving power of this Body is the Spirit of God, on the day of Pentecost descended upon the apostles, who represented the Christian primitive community (therefore, the church is also the “temple of the Spirit”). All members of the church who entered it through baptism “into Christ” and union with him in the sacrament of the Eucharist (participation in the “Body and Blood of Christ”) constitute the so-called. “invisible” church. At the same time, the church is a specific, “visible” religious structure that has its own institutional leaders, professional ministers and ordinary members, material base and corporate interests. 
From a theological point of view, the church is a dynamic reality, which is described by the expression “already – not yet.” On the part of God, everything has already been accomplished: the God-man Christ founded the church as a spiritual space of salvation and deification, which was revealed in historical time; the church is “heaven on earth.” At the same time, salvation is a process, a spiritual path, the passage of which requires the participation of a person’s free will. The external church organization creates objective conditions (the continuity of the priestly hierarchy, dogma and discipline, the celebration of divine services and the sacraments (see Church Sacraments), etc.) so that each person can exercise his salvation in accordance with Christian tradition. Being a “window to eternity”, the church that appeared in the New Testament era has its own history, which unfolds in the context of the history of Christian societies, states and cultures. In the temporal perspective, the church acts as a religious tradition and at the same time as a number of regional and local traditions, which, interacting with culture, create complex concrete historical formations.
After the victory of Christianity over paganism, the church is built into the social structure, turning into a religious-ideological and cult “department” of the state (in non-Christian societies, the church remains the religion of an ethno-religious minority). As a result, the empirical church is understood not so much as a community of Christians, but as a clerical corporation endowed with certain powers. This, in turn, resulted in some changes in religious consciousness, as a result of which, for example, only clergy were recognized as a bearer of churchness as a certain class (in medieval Catholicism) or the monarch was proclaimed the head of the church (post-Reformation England, the Russian Empire in the 20th century). 
During the Reformation of the 16th century. Protestant churches separated from Rome, which marked the beginning of the process of formation of many different Protestant denominations. As a result, we can talk about three main types of churches: Eastern Orthodox – national, in practice state, churches, united by a single dogma and communion in the sacraments; Roman Catholic – the world church, subject to the jurisdiction of the Pope; Protestant – the church as a congregation of believers in Christ, belonging to a certain confessional tradition (it should be noted that there are also state, national churches, ideologically ascending to the Reformation). 
An indirect result of this was the emergence in the 20th century. worldwide ecumenical movement (see Ecumenism), the purpose of which is the rapprochement of various Christian churches and their reunification before the non-religious world. A number of theologians and church leaders propose to harmonize the Christian faith with modern science and culture and to adapt church practice to changed historical conditions (see Religious Modernism). In turn, conservative church circles, on the one hand, oppose ecumenism, defending their confessional identity, and on the other hand, they call for a return to a social structure in which the church will again play the role of a determining force in the field of worldview and morality (see Fundamentalism) .

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, the Stroganovs began to buy up land and build estates already from the 16th century – first in the Gordeevka area, then in the central commercial part of the city.
And a little later, to strengthen the church, a crepid wall was installed below it. This engineering and architectural project was carried out by A. Betancourt, who built the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, and I. Efimov. At the same time, a covered passage connects the bell tower, standing separately, with the church porch. In the 70s.

My favorite ride (in my old age) was the rapids Locomotive Rio, which I visited several times. In all honesty, I have a tan from the day before, so I wasn’t in my most adventurous mood. I lost my glasses in one of the main pools earlier in the day, trying to get my tan right. I asked customer service when I had a day to go home and someone gave them. The staff were very helpful and nice about it, which I really appreciate. Photo problem aside, it was a beautiful day. 
It was one outdoor time either my kids or husband was at the water park. We booked through Thomson and were surprised we were given a food stamp when we arrived. When we arrived to get something to eat around 3pm we had to wait 30 minutes to order our food as there weren’t many staff in the restaurant. My kids both had a good time but after riding the same slides they quickly got bored. Everything they have in the park is good but could do with a few more things to stop the kids getting bored. We will come here again but maybe only for half a day.

Guachas lived a wealthy life, tilled the soil, fished, and ate without any frills. However, their food was quite satisfying. The Spaniards, who liked to eat a lot and a variety of food, brought to the island a lot of vegetables and fruits, cows and rabbits. Something peculiar, not similar to either Spanish or African cuisine appeared as a result of this mix. For example, the tapas culture is not widespread at all here. There are tapas bars everywhere in the cities of continental Spain. A multi-plate tapas dinner is absolutely normal there. But you can only find this type of snack in places designed for tourists in Puerto del Carmen.

If you decide to plunge into the world of Canarian cuisine but do not imagine your life without snacks, then you should look for enyesques. This is a local version of tapas. Note that the portions are quite large here. Even a very hungry tourist may not be able to eat alone some dishes.

No criminal investigation is possible without a formal complaint. Complaints must be made in person before leaving Mexico. You should hire a local lawyer to represent your interests and follow up on your case after you return to Canada. Failure to do may result in incomplete investigations or long delays in bringing cases to trial.
Confrontations between organized criminal groups and Mexican authorities continue to pose a risk. Shootouts, attacks and illegal roadblocks may occur without warning.
In some cases, hotel employees, taxi drivers and security personnel at popular tourist destinations were involved. In some cases, hotel staff are not helpful and try to dissuade victims from pursuing the incident with police.
This is a method of abduction where criminals ask for a small and immediate ransom.
Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances. These items may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery.
Discussions about overcharging may lead to threats of violence and security guards may force you to pay. Avoid running a tab or leaving your credit card with bar or restaurant staff.
Many operators don’t conduct regular safety checks on their sporting and aquatic equipment.
Users can validate the pink and white taxis on the CDMX app.
You should not depend on the Government of Canada for assistance to change your travel plans.
Carry documents to prove the purpose of trip, such as hotel or tour booking confirmations, as immigration officers may request them.
If you lose your tourist card before your departure, you will have to get it replaced. This can be done for a fee at the immigration office of any international airport in Mexico. Make sure to plan sufficient time at the airport to obtain a new one in time for your flight.
Talk to a travel health professional about which medications or vaccines are right for you.
This includes covering up, using insect repellent and staying in enclosed, air-conditioned accommodations. You may also consider pre-treating clothing and travel gear with insecticides and sleeping under an insecticide-treated bednet.
It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
If your male partner travelled with you, wait 3 months after travel or after onset of illness due to Zika virus (whichever is longer).
S. Canadian travellers have had serious health complications following cosmetic or other elective surgeries abroad.
Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
You may also be subject to different entry/exit requirements.
This has caused significant difficulties for many Canadians. If you plan on residing in Mexico or dealing with the Mexican Civil Registry, obtain a Canadian passport that will meet Mexican requirements.
We are pretty much short yet to identify how much is going to be the economic impact of the disaster. As we speak, municipalities and the government of Puerto Rico are still doing the assessment of those damages. The government of Puerto Rico requested a national declaration of disaster that needs to be approved by the president in order to receive public assistance and the resources from FEMA.
So let’s see how the impact of this hurricane is going to delay a lot of the permanent work of reconstruction by Hurricane Irma and Maria.
But we do not receive the same resources as a state. And I will give you just one example. Health care, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security income – those are programs that apply completely different to Puerto Rico. And because we don’t have enough local resources to match those federal programs, we cannot access some of them. And those are just a few examples. We can tell you about more than 47 federal laws that treat Puerto Rico differently. And that means that this economic situation on the island, where you have a 47% of poverty rate – it’s higher than any other state.
Do you have the votes to get that through at least the House of Representatives?
You got op-eds written by Ronald Reagan and many other Republican presidents supporting statehood. So it is part of the policy of the GOP. So I totally believe that there’s a lot of miseducation and misconception about whether Puerto Rico is going to become a Democrat or a Republican state. I think it’s going to be a purple one. It will depend on parties and candidates. But yes, we are very conservative in many other issues.
The shops in these centres mostly sell tourist goods beach wear, suncreams & tourist souvenirs. For fashion clothing shops the San Eugenio Shopping Centre is better and also higher class.

I knew then, around the age of 12, that I wanted to be an astronomer when I grew up.
My research involves the discovery and characterization of transiting extrasolar planets or exoplanets. These are planets that orbit around other stars. Transiting planetary systems are aligned in such a way that we can see the exoplanets pass in front of their star from our point of view. That means we can measure the radius of the exoplanet. I specifically measure the radius of exoplanets at multiple wavelengths of light, which allows me to study detailed properties like the composition and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. For mission work, I work on projects that include the Hubble Space Telescope and TESS. This mission work involves a variety of tasks, from public outreach for the missions, attending conferences and other events to promote the missions’ capabilities, helping other astronomers use data from the missions, developing documentation to describe the missions, establishing budgets for the missions, and more!
Later on, after I started working at NASA, I was humbled to meet Jill Tarter from the SETI Institute in person, who was the inspiration for the main character in “Contact.” I am so humbled by these opportunities that allowed me to literally live out my dream that first began after I saw the movie for the first time at the age of 12.
7 km) per hour. The storm drenched the island with between 12 and 27 inches (30.5 and 68.6 cm) of rain, which produced flash floods and landslides, washed out roads, and knocked out the island’s electric power.
1 million voters. Others argue that Puerto Rico was never intended to be a U.S. state and that granting it statehood is a partisan ploy by liberals to unfairly gain more voters for the passage of legislation that the majority of Americans reject and which can’t win approval under existing laws.

Two small islands off the east coast, Vieques and Culebra, are administratively parts of Puerto Rico, as is Mona Island to the west. Compared with its Greater Antillean neighbours, Puerto Rico is one-fifth as large as the Dominican Republic, one-third the size of Haiti, and slightly smaller than Jamaica. It is roughly rectangular in shape, extending up to 111 miles (179 km) from east to west and 39 miles (63 km) from north to south. The capital is San Juan.
A small but persistent minority has advocated independence.
Near the island’s eastern tip, the partly isolated Sierra de Luquillo rises to 3,494 feet (1,065 metres) at El Yunque Peak.
