Top 8 must-see Tenerife attractions

Europe Spain

June 18, 2019 Europe, Spain

The following is a guest post by Nick Dean of globalbackpackers.com. When Nick reached out about a Tenerife, Spain guest post on my site, I immediately thought of the song “Tenerife Sea” by Ed Sheeran. When my blue-eyed daughter Vayla was a baby, Ed’s album X was new and I’d dance around the kitchen holding her and singing that song. It cheered me up on the hard days. I haven’t been to Tenerife, but I hope to visit one day. Thank you Nick, for the insightful information about the best Tenerife attractions.

“You look so beautiful in this light
Your silhouette over me
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
Is the Tenerife sea”

(Ed Sheeran)

Tenerife is a fabulous island getaway and the capital of the Canary Islands, Spain. More than 1300 kilometres Southwest from mainland Spain and 100 kilometres west of Morocco, it’s part of a volcanic chain and offers 785 square miles of land to keep the six million adventurers that visit each year happy.

Some of Tenerife’s popular attractions felt overrated to us, while some of the more obscure ones took our breath away. From our experiences, we’ve narrowed down a list of our top eight must-see Tenerife attractions.

1. The Historic Quarter of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife – Old Town

Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, has one of the oldest village sectors on the island, and is a great place for history lovers to check out. There’s a nearly four-hundred-year-old church named La Concepción, with magnificent architecture. The church was initially built in 1500, but was later destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in 1650, and has become a tourist hub.

Other must-see spots in the old town are the ruins of the San Cristóbal castle and Castillo Negro, also known as the Black Castle. This wonderfully immersive experience got us feeling a bit medieval. The Nuestra Señora de África marketplace is also a great spot to stop for fresh produce and treats to feast on after touring.

2. Teide National Park

Teide National Park

With three million visitors annually, this park is the jewel of the island, with the infamous Mount Teide volcano towering at 12,198 feet. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can explore Teide National Park on your own (stop in at the tourist office by the entrance for information), or hire a guide. Our guide explained that Mount Teide has the highest elevation in Spain and all the Atlantic islands. It’s the third largest cone volcano on earth with an eleven-mile-long crater.

A cable car ride up Mount Teide provides stunning views of the mountains and out into the staggering 47,000 acres of land within the park. We learned that Mount Teide last erupted in 1909 and is considered an active volcano, with the possibility of another eruption. It experienced visible activity as recently as 2003.

Return or stay late enough for star-gazing at the world-renowned Teide Observatory – a breathtaking Tenerife attraction at 7000 feet. I could hardly believe how lit up the sky was with stars and planets. The guides at the Observatory provide information and viewing tips as you peer through telescopes.

3. Tenerife’s beautiful beaches

Playa de Las Americas black sand beach

A list of Tenerife attractions without a mention of its dozens of beaches would be a shame. A volcanic island isn’t complete without black sand beaches, and there are several, many with quiet coves. Our favourites were Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, and Costa Adeje.

If you like traditional brown sand beaches, we found the best to be Los Gigantes, with giant cliffs that rise from the ocean. This quintessential Mediterranean beach intertwines multiple sandy and rocky coves via a promenade. Find a quiet spot for the day or plant yourself on a happening stretch – the choice is yours.

Tenerife is one of many destinations in Europe with beautiful beaches. Check out this article on the best beaches in Europe.

4. Hiking and forest adventures in Anaga Rural Park

Anaga Forest Hiking Trail

Hikers and nature lovers must explore the magic of Anaga Rural Park, Tenerife’s tropical forest, and one of the few laurel forests of the world. We put on our hiking backpacks and explored this luscious forest for a full day. There are amazing cave houses built into the mountains and we enjoyed a sumptuous Spanish lunch in the hillside village of Chinamada.

The Path of Sense (Sendero de los Sentidos) trail is an easy and popular hike at Anaga Forest. The visitor centre at Cruz de Carmen will provide you with free maps and hiking trails.

5.

The Viking Experience

Tenerife Ragnarok Viking Tour

The Ragnarok Viking Tour is a two or three-hour excursion on a traditional Viking ship that weaves its way through several of Tenerife’s bays. This fun-filled tour provides lunch, a Viking theatre show (the staff are hilarious), and an OPEN BAR.

The boat also searches for dolphins and whales, and we had the privilege of seeing a few dolphins up close. It’s a unique option for all ages on my list of Tenerife attractions, and who doesn’t love getting out on a boat?!

6. Island hopping

La Gomera Island

While Tenerife is lovely, we were anxious to see the other Canary Islands too. We booked day tours through Tenerife Sunshine, but you can hop on a ferry from Los Cristianos. First we island hopped to check out La Gomera Island. We visited the village of San Sebastian to see where Christopher Columbus prayed before he journeyed to America, and also hiked in Garajonay National Park.

We also visited El Hierro, the smallest Canary Island. To say the food is delicious would be an understatement. The bakers and chefs offered exquisite delicacies, and the village of Valverde was incredibly authentic. When you feel you cannot eat another bite, you simply say, “estoy abollado” (I’m stuffed).

7. Snorkelling and marine life experiences

Snorkelling in Tenerife

Another awesome Tenerife attraction is snorkelling with the abundant marine life. We booked with Tenerife Snorkelling and Kayaking, which has great reviews on Trip Advisor. The water was teeming with marine life – friendly sea turtles greeted us with curiosity, while stingrays, crabs, colourful fish, and a lone manta ray also made appearances. The whole experience was amazingly vibrant and safe.

If kayaking to snorkel isn’t your thing, there are many snorkelling operators in Tenerife. You may also want to check out a whale and dolphin boat tour with underwater viewing, or one of the dolphin kayaking experiences available on Tenerife.

8. Nature jeep safari

Tenerife Jeep Safari

We booked with Tamaran, a professionally run tour company offering a plethora of Canary Islands tours and excursions. There is an eight-hour safari that combines touring the wilds of El Teide with Spanish culture. Since we had already visited the Mount Teide volcano, we opted to take a nature jeep safari from Playa de las Américas. The tour includes a visit to the rustic mountain village of Vilaflor, which feels like stepping back in time. It has the highest elevation of any village or town in Spain, with beautiful shops and the most incredible views of Tenerife.

Our entire trip was a vacationer’s paradise. I hope these Tenerife attractions will push you closer to booking that ticket.

Best Things To Do in Tenerife

TENERIFE

The largest of the Canary Islands is dreamy for catching rays, but there are more great things to do in Tenerife

Advertising

The largest of Spain’s seven Canary Islands, there has always been a bit of a “Brits abroad” rep to lists about the best things to do in Tenerife. But away from the all-inclusive hotels, theme parks and Irish pubs on the south of the island, there is a softer side to the Archipelago.

From delicious wine and tapas that rival what you’d find on the Spanish mainland to stunning botanical gardens and interesting art, Tenerife, which you can drive across in no more than three-and-a-half hours, has something for every discerning traveller.

Its position off the coast of Africa means it is usually warm and sunny all year round, making it the perfect place to escape the British weather, check into one of chicer hotels and soak up some much-needed vitamin D.

10 AWESOME THINGS TO DO IN TENERIFE, SPAIN

1
shares

There are many awesome things to do in Tenerife, and with its year-round good weather, diverse landscape, stunning beaches, buzzing nightlife, and cultural attractions, I guarantee you won’t want to leave once you arrive.

If you’re looking for a breathtakingly beautiful and diverse travel destination, Tenerife is the place for you. The island offers something for everyone and in this guide, you’ll discover some of the best Tenerife attractions and activities to help you plan your trip ahead of time.

So what to do in Tenerife? Let’s get started!

Table of Contents

WHERE IS TENERIFE?

Tenerife is the largest of the seven Canary Islands, an autonomous community of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Morocco, Africa.

Tenerife is known for its black sand beaches, dramatic landscapes, and Teide National Park, which features Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain.

Click here for an interactive map of Tenerife.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

The island has a subtropical climate with warm weather all year round, however, the best months to visit Tenerife are from April to June or from September to December when the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists.

TENERIFE IN SUMMER

The average temperature in Tenerife in summer is 29°C, with highs of up to 44°C. While it’s certainly hotter than the winter months, you will want to consider the crowds as Tenerife gets very busy in the summer.

TENERIFE IN WINTER

Tenerife and the Canary Islands have a mild climate and in fact, are the warmest places in Europe during the winter months.

In winter the islands experience average temperatures of around 20 degrees Celcius and it rarely rains. It’s perfect weather for sightseeing and exploring the coastal towns and phenomenal volcanic landscapes.

VISITING TENERIFE WITH A CRUISE

I had the awesome opportunity to visit Tenerife with P&O Cruises who offers many cruises to the Canary Islands and allows plenty of time to get off the ship and explore.

P&O Cruises has a shore experience program for the Canary Islands and Tenerife, from once-in-a-lifetime adventures to simple, convenient transfers, there is a huge range of experiences and fun-fuelled activities on offer for everyone to enjoy.

The brand new Fly-Canaries itineraries start in October 2022 and the ship Azura will be based in Tenerife for the full winter program.

In this guide, I’ll show you all the amazing attractions in Tenerife which you’ll have the opportunity to experience when visiting Tenerife on one of the Canary Islands Fly-Cruises.

HOW TO GET AROUND TENERIFE

The best way to get around Tenerife is by car. There are plenty of car rental agencies at the airport and in South Tenerife, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a vehicle that suits your needs.

If you’re not comfortable driving in Tenerife, there are also plenty of taxis that can take you where you need to go. Just be sure to agree on a price with the driver before getting in, as taxi fares can be expensive.

Alternatively, a great option to get around is by joining a tour. Excursions are convenient and not as expensive as taxis and you’ll have a guide to show you the best parts of the island.

Last but not least, taking the bus (called “guaguas” by the locals) is a cheap and good option, but you won’t be able to reach more remote areas, which is surely what Tenerife is best known for. To give you an idea, taking the bus from Adeje to El Portillo, which is about 1 hour away, will cost you 8euros ($8) per person.

10 AWESOME THINGS TO DO IN TENERIFE

Spain is a country that is full of culture, art, and history. Tenerife, one of its many islands, offers just as much to visitors in the way of things to do and see.

Here are the best things to do in Tenerife that are not to be missed on your itinerary.

GO KAYAKING AT LOS GIGANTES

Los Gigantes is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tenerife, and for a good reason. The cliffs here are simply breathtaking, and the views of the ocean are truly unique. Kayaking is one of the best ways to experience Los Gigantes up close.

You can paddle through the waters at your own pace, taking in the stunning places to visit in Tenerife as you go on the kayak. There are plenty of places to stop and take photos, or just soak up the atmosphere.

But that’s not it! Kayaking is a great workout and a fun way to spend time with friends. So if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in Tenerife, be sure to go kayaking at Los Gigantes!

I took a tour with Teno Activo and, for only 30 Euros, you’ll get to paddle around for 2 hours in a double kayak with a friend or a new acquaintance. Teno Activo also provides you with a drink, a photo book, and a life jacket if you’re not experienced.

CATAMARAN CRUISE & WHALE WATCHING

There’s no better way to see the stunning coastline of Tenerife than from the deck of a catamaran. As you sail across the waves, you’ll enjoy amazing views of the cliffs, beaches, and caves. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot some dolphins or whales.

A catamaran cruise is a perfect way to relax and soak up the sunny weather of Tenerife. You can lie back on the deck and soak up the rays, or take a dip in the sparkling ocean. With its gentle pace and calm waters, a catamaran is an ideal way to explore the coast.

So why not book a cruise today and enjoy an unforgettable experience? I personally recommend Freebird Tenerife, which is the company I chose for the tour. They offer 3-hour tours to Costa Adeje and 4.5 hour tours to Los Gigantes and Masca.

This tour includes free pick-up and drop-off from your hotel, a specialized guide, and lunch and drinks on board. All this from 39 Euros per person!

SEE THE VIEW FROM MASCA VALLEY VIEWPOINT

One of the better places to visit in Tenerife is Masca Valley. The journey to the viewpoint is an adventure in itself as you wind your way up narrow, winding roads through the mountains. But when you finally reach the top, the view is simply breathtaking.

You’ll be greeted with extensive panoramic views of the island and the azure waters of the Atlantic stretching out before you. Whether you visit during the day or at sunset, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget, so make sure to add a visit to the Masca Valley viewpoint to your Tenerife itinerary.

Other than hiking to the top, you can reach Masca Valley by car or join a day tour. The trip from Costa Adeje will take around 45 minutes, which is pretty convenient. Or you could take bus 355 to Masca which takes around 15 minutes from Santiago del Teide or about 40 minutes from Buenavista del Norte.

EXPLORE TIEDE NATIONAL PARK

Mount Teide is a must-see for any nature lover visiting Tenerife. Standing at 3,715 meters, it is the highest point in Spain and an active volcano. The area around the mountain is home to unique lava formations, as well as a wealth of plant and animal life.

There are several trails of varying difficulty that wind their way up the mountain, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

If you’re not into hiking, there is also a cable car that takes you almost to the summit for only 21 Euros per person. No matter how you choose to experience it, Mount Teide is sure to take your breath away and this is definitely one of the best things to do in Tenerife.

BEACH BUM ON PLAYA DE LAS TERESITAS

The turquoise waters of Playa de Las Teresitas in Tenerife are a sight to behold. The golden sand and palm trees create a postcard-perfect setting, and the gentle waves make it an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

While located up north on the island in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, it is one of the most beautiful sand beaches in Spain. The crescent-shaped beach has an awesome view and is a perfect place to take a dip and relax.

You’ll also find numerous beach bars along the shoreline to grab a refreshing cocktail and something to nibble on.

DISCOVER GARACHICO VILLAGE

Tucked away in the northwest of Tenerife, Garachico is a hidden gem that you can’t miss. This quaint little village is steeped in history, dating back to the 15th century when it was founded by the Genoan banker Cristóbal de Ponte.

In recent years, Garachico has undergone something of a renaissance, attracting artists and musicians from all over the world. The result is a vibrant and creative community that is welcoming to visitors.

On the seaside skirts of the village, you’ll find some natural pools which is the perfect setting to take a dip in the ocean to cool off.

With its whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, and stunning natural setting, Garachico is a must on your list of Tenerife attractions to see!

The best things to do in Garachico include:

Castle of San Miguel
Relax at Plaza de la Libertad
The natural pools El Caleton
Mirador Garachico

VISIT LA LAGUNA UNESCO WORLD-HERITAGE TOWN

San Cristóbal de La Laguna, also known as La Laguna, is a UNESCO World Heritage town located in the north of Tenerife. This lovely Spanish town was once the capital of the Canary Islands and is now a popular tourist destination.

The historic center of La Laguna is well-preserved, and its architecture is a mix of Spanish colonial and Canarian styles. The streets are lined with colorful houses, and there are several beautiful churches to explore.

You can also enjoy plenty of souvenir shopping and dining options in town while exploring the different squares. The nicest things to do and see in La Laguna include:

Wander around Conception Square
Visit Catedral de la Laguna
Visit the House of the Captains General
Relax at the Adelantado Square

With such a picturesque setting and friendly locals, visiting La Laguna is simply one of the Tenerife attractions you can’t skip.

BOOK A JET SKI SAFARI

Tenerife is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and one of the most popular activities on the island is jet skiing. In fact, jet skiing is a great way to explore the coastline while getting an adrenaline rush.

There are a number of companies that offer jet ski safaris in Tenerife, generally around Adeje. Jet ski safaris typically last for two hours and include incredible views over the different beaches and coastal areas.

Alternatively, you can rent a jet ski directly at the beach but, typically, you will only find rentals for 20 to 30 minutes. While that might sound enough, the experience is better when booking a safari.

SPEND THE DAY AT SIAM PARK WATER KINGDOM

Siam Park is one of the most popular attractions in Tenerife, and it’s easy to see why. With its theme inspired by Thailand (hence its name), sprawling grounds, dramatic slides, and lush landscaping, the park has something for everyone.

You can cool off in the lazy Mai Thai river, take a spin on the Mekong Rapids, or slide down the Tower of Power.

For those looking for a more relaxed experience, there are plenty of sun loungers dotted around the park where you can soak up the Canary Island sun. You’ll also find restaurants and bars inside the park.

All in all, whether you’re young and traveling with friends or a family with kids, Siam Park is one of the best things to do in Tenerife.

VISIT ANAGA RURAL PARK

Just a short car ride from the bustling Santa Cruz de Tenerife, you can find yourself in a world of calm and natural beauty. Anaga Rural Park is a protected area of mountains, forests, and coastline that covers a big part of the island of Tenerife and is 14,419 hectares big.

With its dramatic scenery and diverse plant and animal life, the park is a popular destination for walkers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers. Here, you’ll be able to hike, get to the different viewpoints and take in the amazing views of the sea, and even visit the terrace fields in El Batan.

And on top of that, no there are no entrance and parking fees! What else could you want for a day away at one of the best places to visit in Tenerife?

BEST PLACES TO EAT & DRINK IN TENERIFE

HARD ROCK CAFE – DINNER & SHOW

Hard Rock Cafe is a great place to enjoy American cuisine while in Tenerife. The menu features a variety of burgers, sandwiches, ribs, and salads, as well as a wide selection of entrees.

But there’s more… Hard Rock Cafe offers Happy Hour events almost every day from 5 to 7 PM and you can get your favorite drink and cocktail for 50% off while enjoying the rock and roll show.

EL CALDERITO DE LA ABUELA

El Calderito de La Abuela is an unmissable dining experience in Tenerife! Run by the Torres brothers Fabian and Mario, they enjoy their work as much as their customers enjoy their dishes and the atmosphere of their restaurant in the north of Tenerife.

Come and try the delicious Canarian cuisine dishes and specialties from the area, paired with a nice glass of wine and incredible views over Orotava Valley and the sea.

PAPAGAYO BEACH CLUB

Papagayo Beach Club is much more than an amazing nightclub; Here, you can enjoy delicious pizzas and pasta dishes, burgers, salads, and freshly squeezed orange juice and smoothies.

After a fantastic meal, don’t hesitate to stay here and wash the night away – their cocktails only cost 8.50 Euros!

WHERE TO STAY IN TENERIFE

Tenerife has hundreds of accommodations to choose from, so I have narrowed it down to a few of the best places to stay to suit the needs of budget, mid-range, and luxury travelers.

Quick-dry travel towel – a must for drying off after a dip in the ocean or lying out on the sand.

Dry bag – protect your gadgets from any water damage while you’re at the beach.

14 Attractions to make your stay unforgettable

Tenerife is the biggest island of the Canary Islands and has so many amazing attractions to offer! I went to Tenerife for 10 days in September and absolutely fell in love with it. What you will find in Tenerife is a paradise of black sand beaches, good weather all year round and amazing Canarian food. And the whole island is full of little villages and beautiful beaches ready for you to explore. We had so much fun renting a car and exploring the best attractions and hidden gems on the island. And the best part: Visiting Tenerife was much more affordable than we expected! And if that does not convince you, then I hope the following list will make you book your ticket to Tenerife soon. Here comes my Tenerife Bucket List with 14 Attractions to make your stay unforgettable!

Participate in a free walking tour in Tenerife!

Free walking tours are one of my favourite activities to do when I am travelling. It is the perfect way of getting to know a new city from the eyes of a local. And I already checked out their website: In Tenerife, there are free walking tours in San Cristóbal (So much history! Very recommended!), Garachico, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Orotava.

How do free walking tours work? Free walking tours do not come at a specific price, which is why they are free. The local guides always do an amazing job showing you the best parts of the city. You get to ask them questions and get recommendations for food places or museums from a person that actually lives there. At the end of the tour, you have the chance to leave your guide a tip. And it’s completely up to you how much you would like to tip them. It usually depends on your own budget and how much you liked the tour. Advertisements

Look for all free walking tours in Tenerife here!

1. The Number One Attraction in Tenerife: National Park Teide

Going to the National Park of Teide must be at the very top of your Tenerife Bucket List when you visit Tenerife. Tenerife is known for its volcano and visiting it is absolutely worth going to the National Park surrounding it. There is a bus that takes you to the National Park of Teide but one of my friends that used to live in Tenerife really recommended me to go there by car.

The reason is that there are countless viewpoints on the way up to the National Park. Do not forget that the drive takes you from sea level to a height of almost 3000m. There are so many places to stop, walk around, explore, read the signs and take photos. So if you decide to go by car you can stop at every single one of them. In case you decide to go by bus, I am not able to tell you how many times they stop on the way to the top. That’s why I think it is better to go to the Teide National Park by car. You are more flexible and you will have more opportunities to take photos!

There is a cable car at the end of the streets that go up the Teide National Park. You can park your car for free and enjoy the surroundings or go up the cable car. When I went there it was very cloudy so we decided not do it. Sadly, the clouds were blocking the whole view around the volcano. I was very disappointed because I have heard amazing things about it. The cable car costs 21 Euros per person and you can buy your tickets in advance here.

Make sure to buy your tickets for the cable car in advance. You can find more information here.

2. Rent a Car to Explore the island!

I have to admit that public transport in Tenerife is very great. I found that it ran pretty much according to the data in google maps. And every bus station has a QR code you can scan in order to find out when the next bus (locals call the buses “Guagua”) is arriving. Apart from that, taking the bus in Tenerife is very affordable.

But, of course, if you want to be more flexible you should rent a car. Especially, if you want to explore remote attractions on the island, a car will be a better choice. I must say that I would recommend reserving a car a couple of days in advance. We were trying to get a car for the same day but no place had any care available! Regarding the price, you should calculate around 23-50 Euros per day, which is a very fair deal.

I found the places at the airport to be quite expensive. I would recommend checking prices and availabilities on Rentalcars.com

3. Try Local Canarian Food in a Guachinche

Did you think Tenerife as a small island would not have any good cuisine? You were wrong! You should definitely try some typical Canarian dishes in a Guachinche, that is what local Canarian restaurants are called. If you see a place called “Guachinche” it means it will be a traditional and affordable place. And there are so many things that you can try! The Canary Islands are famous for Papas Arrugadas con mojo. Those are potatoes with a salty crust with a sauce made out of herbs. Believe me when I say this is heaven. Make sure to put Canarian Food on high priority on your Tenerife bucket list. It is worth trying!

You must try Papas Arrugadas with Mojo in Tenerife!

By the way, if you want to find out more about typical Canarian Food and Canarian Slang, you should check out this blogpost.

Advertisements4. Stay in an old town house, villa or even farmhouse!

There are some really beautiful gems when it comes to accommodation in Tenerife. Of course, you can just stay in a modern All-inclusive resort and enjoy your time on this tropical island. But I encourage you to be a little bit adventurous. You do not even need to go to the remote areas of Tenerife to find magical places to stay. Here, I will show you a couple of my favourites. I found colonial townhouses, villas, cottages and even monasteries!Advertisements

€€: Stay in an old townhouse at

Hotel Marquesa in Puerto de la Cruz

This beautiful hotel in Puerto de la Cruz is located in a beautiful house from the 18th century – a true gem! Look at this beautiful interior patio full of plants. This is the perfect hotel if you are looking for a unique place to stay in Puerto de la Cruz.

€€: A hotel in a 16th century mansion: Laguna Nivaria Hotel & Spa in La Laguna

San Cristóbal de la Laguna was one of my favorite places in Tenerife. This little town is so historic and there are so many things to see. This hotel is a villa from the 16th century and looks so authentic: from the colourful windows to the walls of the building. Very authentic. Advertisementsreport this ad

€€: Stay in a former farmhouse surrounded by nature at Hotel Rural el Patio

This former farmhouse is completely surrounded by nature and only a short walk away from the beach. The rooms are decorated in such a detailed way that fits perfectly into the vibe of this hotel. And it includes a really great breakfast. What else could you ask for?

5. Go to Playa las Teresitas, the famous beach with white sand

Tenerife is famous for its black sand beaches. But not all beaches in Tenerife have black sand. Playa las Teresitas, for example, is a beach on the North East side of the island and is a loooong beach with white sand. It is right next to the city of San Andres and is only 9km away from Santa Cruz.

An interesting fact about Playa de las Teresitas is that the original beach used to be of tiny rocks and black sand. But in the 1950s several beaches in Tenerife kept disappearing as locals would use the sand for construction work. So the city of Santa Cruz decided to build an artificial beach instead. Since black sand was too expensive due to its scarcity on the island the Spanish government bought Sand from Western Sahara. White sand also has the advantage that it’s more appealing to tourists who were not used to the typical black sand in Tenerife.

If you are looking for more beautiful beaches, I wrote a blog post about the best beaches in Tenerife, that you can find here.

Playa Las Teresitas

This beach is also very popular amongst tourists as there are not many waves which makes it very family-friendly. Apart from that, it is very easy to get there as you do not need to climb any rocks. Other beaches in Tenerife tend to be very wild with strong waves. Make sure to visit this top attraction in Tenerife for a beautiful beach day!Advertisements

6. Visit San Christobal de la Laguna and admire the colonial architecture

San Christóbal de la Laguna is a very important city as it is the first one to receive UNESCO World Heritage status in Tenerife. It was built in the 15th century and is famous for its colonial architecture and its old, beautiful (and pedestrian-friendly!) streets. But not only that! La Laguna also has a university so many young people live there as well. But at the same time, La Laguna is also full of churches and other religious buildings and museums. A city full of contrasts with some very interesting museums!

Casa Museo Cayetano Gómez Felipe must have been my favourite little spot in San Cristóbal de la Laguna. It is located in a typical Canarian house from the 18th century which is absolutely beautiful and has a stunning interior patio. It owns a very big collection of art pieces and things related to the Canary Islands from the 18th century. Apart from that, there is a very cute cafe inside, so you can relax in the Interior Patio for some time. There are tours through the inside of the house, but I would definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand.

What about joining a free walking tour in San Cristóbal? To me, it is one of the best ways to explore a new city and to find out more about its history.

7. Explore the most beautiful beach of Tenerife: Playa Benijo

Playa Benijo has been on my Tenerife Bucket List for years! As you probably already know, Tenerife is famous for its black sand beaches. And Playa de Benijo is one of the most beautiful and remote ones. I was so happy I got to go there during my trip. It is not very easy to get there, which is why I would recommend going by car. But I know there is a bus that brings you to the closest village called “Tanagana”, and then you can walk to Playa Benijo in about 15 minutes.

Then, you have to walk downstairs which leads you to the beach. And voila, you reached paradise! We went right before sunset and the lighting was absolutely gorgeous. The water is so clear and sets a strong contrast to the black sand. When we went, the waves were very strong, so the lifeguards did not allow us to go too much out into the water. But still, I was so glad we decided to come here.

Advertisements

Once you are at the beach, unfortunately, there is no way of buying water of snacks. Keep that in mind when you go there. Apart from that, Playa Benijo was the highlight of my Tenerife trip!

8. Go down the countless water slides in Siam Park

Okay, who does not like water parks? And do you know where the biggest water park of Europe is? You guessed right. It’s in Teneriffe! The Siam Water Park is one of the most famous attractions in Tenerife and can be an amazing one-day trip for the whole family!

The Siam Park in Tenerife is so big that you definitely need to plan to stay your whole day there. It is located in the South of Tenerife so keep that in mind if you are planning to go there. The Entry costs 38 Euros for adults and 26 Euros for children.

You can buy your tickets for the Siam Park here.

9. Visit Puerto De la Cruz and explore the historical town!

Puerto de la Cruz used to be a small fishermen’s village in the North of the island that due to increasing trade is now one of the island’s biggest cities. Nowadays, it has many big hotels and resorts. But if you want to have it a little bit quieter you can go to the old part of the city, which consists of beautiful colourful houses and narrow streets. You will be surprised by the contrast between the old town and the hotel resorts by the beach. I am sure you have seen the colourful ‘Agatha Christie’ stairs if you have researched Puerto de la Cruz before. It is a tribute to the writer who visited the island in the 1920s and fell in love with it.

I wrote a complete blog post about what you can do in Puerto de la Cruz that you can find here. (I even tell you what our favourite sunset place is!)

10. Go swimming in a Piscina Natural (Natural Pool)

A Piscina Natural (A Natural Pool) should be very high up on your Tenerife bucket list! Often, the beaches in Tenerife have very high waves and the current is strong. So you have to be careful when you go swimming. But that is why those so-called Piscinas Naturales are the solution! They basically are an artificial pool filled with seawater. Or they can also be an area at the beach that is protected by rocks, kind of like a little lake in the water. Perfectly hidden from the crazy waves of the ocean! Piscinas Naturales are very swimming friendly and are usually accessible by ladders. Advertisements

AdvertisementsA Piscina Natural (not the one in Bajamar)

I went to the Piscina Natural in Bajamar, Tenerife. This one actually looked like a separate pool. But the close waves could still reach the water in the pool area. It was an amazing experience. There are many piscinas naturales all over the island. I definitely recommend you to try out this attraction during your stay in Tenerife!

11. Go hiking to Playa del Castro or the Elevador de Gordejuela

Playa del Castro Tenerife

Playa del Castro is the perfect one day trip from Puerto de la Cruz. Why did we choose this destination for a one day trip? So, there are two beaches next to each other: Playa del Castro and Playa de Gordejuela. Playa del Castro has a small waterfall running down the cliffs to the beach. It is absolutely beautiful to look at and very refreshing since you are able to stand underneath it. And honestly, there cannot ever be too many beaches on your Tenerife Bucket List.

Playa de Gordejuela is very unique since on the top of the cliffs is the “Elevador de aqua de Gordejuela”. It is basically a bridge connecting two different points of the cliffs. Apart from that, there are ruins of a mansion on the cliffs. It almost looks spooky how these ruins stand so firmly on the dangerous cliffs over the sea. If you are to go there, you really should go to the Elevador to have a look at those beautiful ruins.

Advertisements12. Explore the famous Parque Rural de Anaga and Casa Santiago

The rural park of Anaga is a mountain landscape in the north-eastern side of Tenerife. It is famous for its variety and beautiful viewpoints. The higher areas of Anaga are like the rainforest of Tenerife. It rains a lot and it’s very humid overall. Other parts of the park are quite dry and very sunny. The Parque Rural de Anaga is perfect for hiking and exploring the unique nature of Tenerife. It is home to over 120 different plant species, some of them endangered.

Parque Anaga is famous for its horizontally growing trees!Advertisements

A very special point of the Anaga park is the viewpoint “Mirador la Jardina“. Make sure to visit this special viewpoint during your trip. By the way, if you are a fan of hiking you will find amazing hiking places in Tenerife. You can book a hike with a local guide here.

When you get hungry, I would definitely recommend “Casa Santiago” for homemade Canarian Food. This will be a lifesaver after a long hike!

13. Visit Garachico, a town that used to be controlled by pirates

Garachico is a small town on the North West side of the island. If you are doing a road trip through Tenerife you should do a stop in Garachico to your Bucket List. It is famous for its White Castle at the harbour that was initially used for defence when Tenerife was attacked by pirates! Yes, Pirates used to control the area between Tenerife and the Spanish mainland during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Crazy, right?

Advertisements

Apart from that you can spend the time swimming in the natural pools of Garachico. This one looks much prettier than the other ones on the island! I think the natural pools were one of my favourite attractions in Tenerife. Make sure to always check them out if you see one close!

14. Take in the views at Punta de Teno and admire the light house

Punta de Teno is the far western point of the island of Tenerife and has a lot to offer. The mountains and cliffs are pitch black as they were formed by lava from the volcano millions of years ago. The best part about Punta de Teno is that it’s quite far in the South of the island so you will have amazing weather and sunshine the whole year-round. And if you are lucky, you might see La Palma from there as well!

Punta de Teno is famous for its beautiful lighthouse. Seriously, it looks like it could be from a children’s book. The lighthouse was built in 1897 and fun fact: The stones used came from the close island of La Gomera. It was easier to get them transported from there than getting them from Tenerife. This place is just very remote and that is why it’s a very famous attraction amongst travellers.

Advertisements

By the way, you can reach Punta de Teno by bus 369 (or la guagua)

15.

Visit the famous Casa de los Balcones in La Orotava

Advertisements

Some people call La Orotava the most beautiful town of Tenerife. La Orotava is known for its beautiful architecture and many historical buildings. The most important is “Casa de los balcones” (House of balconies) from 1632. This building, as well as the museum inside, is probably the most popular attraction of La Orotava. The inside of the house, which is the actual museum, shows typical Canarian furniture and decoration from Colonial times. A must-see attraction in Tenerife!

Apart from that, you should visit the historical town hall, the botanical garden or one of the many churches in La Orotava. Everything is so colourful and well preserved. If you are interested in the history of Tenerife this is definitely the place you must visit.

What about you? I really hope you enjoyed this Tenerife Bucket List! What were the highlights of your Tenerife trip? Let me know in the comments below 🙂

FABULOUS LORO PARK IN TENERIFE » Travel Portal | Travel | News about tourism

Loro Parque in Tenerife is a place that can be enthusiastically recommended to everyone, regardless of age. Loro Park is a zoo, a botanical garden and a circus at the same time. It is located in the north of Tenerife, in the city of Puerto Santiago.

If you start searching the Web for the words “Loro Parque”, the search engine will return dozens of links to sites that claim that the park is Tenerife’s most visited attraction. This is probably true, but the dry statistics of visits are not able to convey the delight that a trip to this amazing place brings.
However, it is better to move from theoretical reasoning to practice. To begin with, it should be clarified that a ticket to Loro Parque costs 33 euros for adults, and 22 euros for children. That is, for a family, something like a hundred comes out. But it’s better to immediately buy Twin Ticket for 56 euros for adults and 37.5 euros for children. It turns out a little more expensive, but there is an opportunity to visit the Siam Park water park, which also deserves attention. Since the water attraction is located in the south of the island, you can go to Loro Park and ride the water slides on different days.
A bus transfer from south to north to Loro Park (or from north to south to Siam Park, here who is coming from which part of the island) costs about 13 euros. In agencies that sell tickets, you can (and should!) bargain. You can count on a discount if you plan to purchase several excursions or a company of several people goes to the park.
We started from the south of the island and headed to Loro Parque along the TF-1 and TF-31 roads to the north. The journey takes about one and a half hours. Destination of the route – Puerto Santiago. It is inappropriate to say that the northern part of the island is more humid and cool, so the vegetation here is much more lush and interesting, with rich greenery and a tropical riot of colors.

This is what Loro Park looks like from the outside. At the entrance, visitors receive a map with the show schedule to navigate the park and plan their stay.

Near the entrance of the “Thai Village” – buildings, sculptures in the Thai style; in one of the houses there is a museum of porcelain parrots. Inspection of the “village” is better left “for later”, when there is some free time left after exploring the park and you need to pass the time before the bus leaves.

There is also a pond with Japanese koi (this is the breed of carp – koi). The fish in the pond are of a wide variety of colors, there are a huge number of them and they are all of very decent sizes, so that when they begin to be fed, a real pandemonium begins in the water. If you have a bun or a cookie with you, then you can also get great pleasure from feeding the fish.

At the entrance, some people come up to the tourists (I find it difficult to say how much they are “employees” of Loro Parca – we could not find any mention of such a service on the Loro Parca website) and offer their services as a “VIP escort”. The price is 10 euros per person.

It is assumed that there is a tour of the park, some interesting facts are told, the route is planned in such a way as to be in time for all the shows, and VIP seats are provided at the performances themselves, there are also additional visits to some interesting places in Loro Park, which inaccessible to ordinary visitors (for example, “apartments” of gorillas). Our friends decided to resort to their services, we did not. Bottom line: in any case, everyone enjoyed it a lot, regardless of the money spent.

Walking through Loro Parque, you can admire the rich tropical vegetation and observe animals in conditions that seem as close to natural as possible.

What immediately catches the eye is a minimum of cells. Everywhere there are glasses that allow you to conveniently observe the animals and sometimes it seems that by stretching out your hand you can touch the fluffy inhabitants of this “glass zoo”.

Pavilion 9 impresses0003 Planet of the Penguins. Appropriate climatic conditions are created inside: there are installations for the production of snow, and in the pavilion there is a change of day and night, just as it happens in the habitats of these birds, in Antarctica. There is a moving walkway for visitors. Standing on it you can observe a large number of birds. Since the path is quite long, during this time you can watch plenty of how nearby, behind the glass, the penguins swim swiftly in a large pond, how they behave, walk in groups . .. In general, “In the world of animals” in 3D. What is nice is that everyone can see the amazing thoroughness in creating ideal conditions for birds.

And of course, Loro Parque is famous for its shows that you can’t miss: killer whales, dolphins, fur seals, parrots. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the schedule of these shows from the very beginning in order to plan and see everything.
Killer Whale Show ( ORCA OCEAN) we liked so much that we even visited it twice. Next to the “stage” – the pool – there are several rows, which during the show are the “Splash zone” – Splash zone, so before the start of the show, capes with hoods are offered for 2 euros.

During the show, interesting facts about the life of killer whales are told, the show is broadcast on the big screen.

It is very touching to watch how killer whales, these huge marine predators, diligently carry out their program. The second time, we deliberately sat as close as possible to get under the spray and even waves from the blows of the killer whale’s tail.

The dolphin and fur seal show was also impressive.

In general, there was a very clear feeling that all the animals whose shows we saw do their “work” with love and get great pleasure from it. Naturally, this can be said about the trainers.

These shows charge you with some extraordinary positive and delight.

Such an arrangement of birds in one of the sections of the park seemed very interesting: somewhere high, behind the crowns of trees, there is a net that forms a dome. You walk along paths suspended in the air and watch small bright tropical birds and parrots next to you. They fly around, fly up to the feeders, which are located next to the path; some even allow themselves to be fed and touched.

It is impossible to describe everything that can be seen in Loro Parque within the framework of a small note. There is a large collection of parrots of various types, sizes and colors, as well as many other birds. These are various reptiles, primates, giant tortoises, jaguars, white tigers, anteaters.

There is an aquarium with sharks. On the territory there are ponds where various fish swim. The Baby station pavilion is very interesting, where, if you’re lucky, you can get to feed the chicks.
Of course, there are numerous souvenir shops, cafes and playgrounds.

Summary:
Loro Park is a whole day of positive, which you continue to remember even after time has passed. To be honest, I would visit Loro Parque again with great pleasure.

About Siam Park on the island of Tenerife (official site, ticket price)

Siam Park

Attractions of the water park

0097

Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands (Canary Islands, Spain), has many attractions, including Aqualand City Park.

Aqualand

Aqualand – Tenerife water park (formerly Octopus) – official site. It was opened in 1975.

It is located in the south of the island, near the city of Las Americas. The park occupies a small area. All attractions and pools are located compactly. Pools of different depths are filled with water from the Atlantic Ocean.

11 dolphins live in the water park, most of them were born and raised here. The performances with them are the best on the island. They run daily, all year round.

Additional information! A very interesting and unusual fountain is the symbol of this park, a water tap suspended in the air, from which water constantly runs under pressure.

Aqualand – a good water park with water attractions for adults and small children aged 3-5 years, but outdated.

Unique Fountain

The park was popular until it had a competitor. With the opening of Siam Water Park in 2008, the main flow of travelers has moved there. Geographically, they are close to each other. Since there is little entertainment for small children in Siam Park, it is better to visit Aqualand Park for families with children. For young tourists, many attractions are built for their growth.

Siam Park

Siam Park Tenerife is considered one of the finest water parks in Europe. Official site.

Rock Creek Park or rocky stream park in the center of Washington

On the territory of Costa Adeje (a resort in Italy) on the island of Tenerife, 650 km from the ocean, there is a wonderful water park. It is popular among the population, but more popular among tourists. The park was built for a long time, continues to be built and grows every year, becoming more and more exciting.

Important! Here everything is made of high quality and durable materials, with the latest technology. The park is safe despite the extreme rides.

The entire area (185,000 sqm) is surrounded by greenery and flowers. Mostly tropical exotic plants grow. Plants were delivered from different parts of the world. They are planted by hand, creating stunning compositions. Architectural structures imitate the Thai style, even the names copy Thailand. The park was designed by a Thai architect who was invited from an agency in Bangkok.

Tenerife Siam Park water park area is equipped for the perfect holiday. There is everything here for a comfortable rest. The beach has free sun loungers with umbrellas, Wi-Fi throughout, towels for rent, safes for storing valuable personal items. Showers and toilets are free.

Thai style area

Aqua shops, restaurants and bars are located in all corners. Bringing your own food into the water park is not allowed, only for visitors with small children, these rules do not apply.

Additional information! Right at the entrance there is a swimming pool with cute sea animals – sea lions that swim and frolic in the water. Next to this pool is the “Tea House”, a floating market on the artificial Mai Tai River. The market is similar to the famous floating markets of Asia.

Water park attractions

Gülhane Park – the oldest park in Istanbul

There are few attractions here, but they are impressive.

“Tower of Power”, which is 28 m high. Having accelerated in an almost vertical chute, extreme people fly into a glass tube through an aquarium with fish, stingrays and sharks.

Visitors love the attraction “Jungle Snake”. This is a design resembling four twisted snakes that fly down the jungle at high speed.

A steep mountain with funnels “Giant”, on which adults and children descend at a crazy speed.

Downhill (Naga Racer), consisting of six lanes of descent, on which they move down headfirst on special mats. The most exciting water attractions in Siam Park are for adults, there is an age limit.

Lost City is the only entertainment for kids. 120 different games for children: castles, bridges, waterfalls, in the only children’s pool. Reminds me of a playground on the water.

Along the lazy river, the length of which is 1 km, you can take a circle on a journey with surprises, past landscapes with waterfalls, aquariums, beaches, palm trees. When you are tired of extreme falls, you can relax and calmly swim along the river, admiring the unusual landscapes for this area.

Grand show “Volcano”, depicting a volcanic eruption with sound effects. On an inflatable balloon, sliding down, you have to fall into a fiery volcano, plunging into complete darkness.

Very long “Mekong” (Mekong Rapids) – from a large mountain, four of us on an inflatable circle, you can slide down a fast river, while throwing from side to side on sharp turns.

“Kinnari” – a descent of 213 meters, while sliding along which, on an inflatable raft, it sucks into a funnel, throws and twists in different directions. Vegetation grows on the sides, the impression is as if it is a mountain river in the jungle.

Four people can ride on an inflatable sleigh on the high attraction “Dragon”, slide on the water. Suddenly, the slide becomes vertical, which is breathtaking. This attraction is the only one in Europe, decorated with a large statue of a dragon.

Dragon Attraction

Wave Palace is a huge swimming pool with a sandy beach around it, which can accommodate more than a thousand people. Every hour, artificial three-meter waves rise above the pool.

Jungle Park in Tenerife – Kids and Parents Air

Jungle Park is not a loropark or even a “lemur house”, but the show of birds of prey is unrivaled, there is no such performance in any other zoo in Tenerife. In the article I will share my impressions, tips and tell you how to save on a ticket.

Jungle Park in Tenerife: attractions and locations

The name Jungle Park implies that you enter the living jungle.

On the left – a regular path in the zoo, on the right – an orchid garden

The park is beautiful, with hanging bridges, waterfalls, thematic photo locations. Bonus – a zoo, 3 shows, a cactus garden, a bobsleigh track and lakes with fish.

Suspension bridge. Jumping and swinging it is not recommendedLong-suffering Tenerife cacti

At the entrance you will be given a card with the show schedule and sent to be photographed with a hand-held eagle for 8 €. Photography is voluntary. If you don’t want to, feel free to step to the first zone – eagles on a leash.

The symbol of the Jungle Park is bald eaglesThe eagle tied by the leg

The eagles on a chain near the entrance are powerful, of course. My jaw dropped. Why make fun of the birds like that? Every second one will certainly come up and tease either cookies or tangerines. The eagles are furious, but they cannot fly.

To be fair, this is the only zone where the animal rights activist spoke up in me. Other cells are role models. All are spacious and open.

Swimming pools with fur seals and lions. I counted 3 of them in total.0002 I liked the enclosure with the monkeys. Climb to the second level, they made a window for cameras, so as not through the glass.

Monkey and Orangutan Outdoor EnclosureLadders, Hammocks, Obstacle Course and Lake – Monkey ParadiseAnother monkey cage

Meerkats made my day. It seems to me that a man for a meerkat is a boring and clumsy monster. In a minute, this animal manages to stand up, make a circle, chat with fellows and lie down.

Meerkat on vacationWe did not find white lions, but we did find a leopard. He’s next to the ostriches. Funny shot. There are a lot of birds in the park. There is even a separate contact area with colorful lorises Crocodile. Common sloth subspeciesInformation stand with a detailed description of what kind of animal it is, what it eats, where it lives

There are many animals in the zoo: guinea pigs, porcupines, armadillos, monkeys, kangaroos, deer, black panther, birds of all kinds, including flamingos. Each enclosure is accompanied by an information board with the species name and description.

Feeding penguins and lemurs

Fly in the ointment – feeding penguins, which is announced as a whole attraction. It lasts about 5 minutes. A woman comes with a bucket of fish, each fish and a bow. No, for penguins only at Loropark !

Feeding penguins in Jungle Park

Same with feeding lemurs. How to get into the cage remains a mystery to me. Not everyone is allowed. The best and more budgetary petting zoo is Lemur Coop .

Eagle or Birds of Prey Show

The Eagle Show is really worth it. A real performance is unfolding in the arena of the amphitheater, many of whose actors can peck you in the wild and not choke. Here they are darlings and sweethearts.

Artists bowing

Falcons, marabou (a mix of pterodactyl and herons), bald eagles, hawks and vultures obediently follow the trainer’s commands.

Birds walk between rows Birds of prey fly very low. We were twice hooked by a bald eagle’s wing, which we are incredibly happy about

An incident occurred during the performance. The bird, which was supposed to sit on the hand of the trainer, landed exactly between the rows on the crunch of chips. Everyone turned gray: the one who chewed the chips, the audience and the trainer. Conclusion – do not chew, artists are very sensitive.

At the end of the show native storks soared into the sky.

A stork in a dance

The leader’s farewell speech is already sounding, the birds are being led away from the arena. But no, storks get little attention. As if by agreement, they began to dance, to flirt with visitors.

It read: “Eagles, eagles! We are no worse. Look how I can. Applaud!”

By the way, all birds are free. At any moment they can fly away, but they return. When they were waiting for the opening of the passage, they saw the “dressing room” of the marabou. They themselves break out and run to the “minute of glory.” Storks generally roam where they want.

Show of exotic birds (parrots)

Interactive show of parrots. All viewers involved

The parrot show at Jungle Park was much more enjoyable than at Loro. Here, someone is sure to fly to you on your shoulder (macaw, rainbow loris or an incomprehensible black bird with a hefty beak), no matter where you sit.

The zoo is half empty or half full.

Two guides dressed as scouts launch the birds into the sky and then walk between the rows and distribute bird treats to the spectators. After the call follows – and now the multi-colored lory is already on your hand.

Sea lions

Sea life perform on the same venue as exotic birds, only at a different time (at 13:45).

Sea lion show

Overall, not bad. So dryly cut off that most sickening.

Once the best sea lion show on the island, it has become a standard set of tricks: dancing, reviving the submariner, jumping through the rings. The painting has been removed.

Show Schedule

Exotic Bird Show 11:00 and 14:30

Eagle show (birds of prey) 12:00, 16:00

Sea lion presentation 13:45, 15:15

Penguin feeding 12:45

Parrot House 11:00 – 15:00

Lemurland 13:00 – 15:00

Tips for tourists

Satisfied faces in the center – that’s us

There are no strict rules of conduct in Jungle Park, unlike other zoos in Tenerife. The only caveat is to take your passport for the passage. You are allowed to bring food and water. This is a big plus, because catering in the park is tasteless and prohibitively expensive.

Jungle Park used to host a swim with sea lions. The service is currently unavailable for booking. You can arrange swimming on the spot for 55€, or you may not agree. The result depends on the mood of the sea lion, the state of his health and a thousand other factors.

Tickets to the Jungle Park in Tenerife: how to save money

Ticket prices and their gradation:

adult – 25 €;

child from 5 to 10 years old inclusive – 17 €;

children from 3 to 4 years old – 11 €;

family 2 adults + 2 children (from 5 to 10 years old) – 82 €.

We paid 67 € for tickets, but we should have paid 78 €

Now I will explain how we saved money on the entrance to the eagle park.

Go to official website of Jungle Park. In the “tickets” tab we see promotional fare for 56 € (2 adults + 1 child). Feel free to get a ticket for me, Zhenya and our son 7 years old. Then we go back to the tickets to buy another one for 11€ for our four year old daughter. Zoo rules do not prohibit such a scheme. And since it is not prohibited, then why not use it.

Jungle Park tickets are electronic. You don’t need to print anything. The principle of operation is as follows: buy a ticket today, and go tomorrow. You can’t buy a ticket today and go today.

There is no separate ticket office for those who already have tickets in their hands in Jungle Park. Everyone is in the same line. But tickets at the box office are more expensive than online tickets.

Feed vending machines look like this

Bobsleigh descent 4€, feeding of eagles and meerkats 35€, fish, parrots, ostriches is paid extra. At the entrance to the enclosures there are vending machines with food capsules (€2). They only accept 1+1 euro coins.

Jungle Park: opening hours, parking and how to get there

Photo of the waterfall taken in the cave of the zoo

The zoo is open from 10:00 to 17:30 daily.

Regarding parking near the Jungle Park, there is a paid one (4 euros). But who needs paid parking if there are 2 free parking lots a stone’s throw away on a hill. Points left on the map.

One of two free car parks on Highway TF-28. On the left you will see a staircase, it leads to the ticket office.

How to get to the park of eagles by public transport

✐ Free buses run from Costa Adeje, Las Americas and Los Cristianos every hour from 9 am to 12 am. All points and departure times are on the map.

✐ From Los Gigantes to the free bus stop in Adeje, take the 477 bus. Bus 110 goes from Santa Cruz to the pickup station in Los Cristianos.

✐ If you live in Puerto de la Cruz, it is easier to get to Los Gigantes by bus 325, and from there repeat the route already described.

By car

If you have rented a car , you get to the TF-1 highway and go straight up to Los Cristianos, and already in Cristianos get off at TF-28. This winding mountain road will take you to a free parking lot near the zoo.

Jungle park, unfortunately, is empty. The reason is not only in the neighborhood with the cool Loro, but also in the lack of workers. Catering at the zoo is served by the same people. Therefore, if the restaurant is open, the bars in the Jungle Park are closed.

But I still advise you to come here. There are no crowds of tourists, a beautiful landscape (no worse than loro), a lot of animals and absolutely amazing bird shows.

In Tenerife with a child: which amusement parks are worth visiting

Canary Islands 2016. Tenerife parks: Loro Park, Siam water park, Teide volcano and much more

In late spring and early summer, when the Mediterranean Sea is not yet happy with warm water, the Canary Islands are an excellent option for a European holiday. Located in the Atlantic Ocean south of the 30th parallel, approximately at the latitude of Morocco, the Canaries attract with a good climate (there is no stuffy here thanks to the ocean breeze), many beaches with clean water and a high level of service.

Tenerife has a lot of opportunities for organizing active leisure time with children – water parks, zoos, walks in the mountains, parks and small towns, boat trips and, of course, a beach holiday. There are 2 centers of attraction for tourists in Tenerife – in the northern part of the island in the vicinity of the city of Puerto de la Cruz and in the southwestern – Los Cristianos and Las Americas. There are not too many beaches in the north of the island – the coasts are steep, the air is more humid, there are few beaches and the water is cool, but the vegetation is lush and there is where to hide in the shade on a sunny day. In the southern part, the vegetation is poor, but there are many beaches and the water is warmer.

The island itself is small – about 80 km from its southwestern to northeastern part, so it will not be difficult to drive around it in a rented car. Of course, there is public transport and even free buses in tourist areas, but such movement takes a lot of time. Therefore, we rent a car – and go ahead, get acquainted with the island!

Jungle Park

For a vacation with a child, it is better to choose the southwest coast near the southern airport where your plane will arrive. If the child is of an inquisitive age and is interested in wildlife, you can start exploring the island from Jungle Park. The park is located in the foothills and can be reached in about half an hour from the coast. Parking near the park is both paid and quite official free along the road.

Even in the hottest time it will not be hot in the park – tropical vegetation saves not only people, but also animals. The park has several contact zones where you can touch different animals, for example, a lemur or an iguana. Or chat with a parrot that will sit on your shoulder. When entering the park, be sure to take a booklet with the show schedule so as not to miss the feeding of funny penguins, see the show of sea lions, feed parrots with seeds at the show of exotic birds. But the most important thing is the show of eagles and other large birds. It is a must see! It is hard to believe that large birds of prey, which are released into free flight, are attached to a person and follow his instructions. Even the marabou, a repulsive species of bird, is included in the performance.

It is worth taking a whole day to visit this park. In addition to a variety of animals, there is a suspension route along which the child will definitely want to go. You can also ride on a high-speed bobsled track. There is a cafe on the territory of the park, but you can bring food with you – this is not prohibited.

Monkey Park

If after visiting the Jungle Park the need to communicate with the animal world is not satisfied, go to Monkey Park, which is located in Las Americas very close to the freeway. In this park, as the name implies, you can see a lot of monkeys. At the entrance to the park, containers with food for pets are sold – you cannot bring your own food into this park, bags are checked!

This zoo also has several contact areas that are of great interest to children and adults. Friendly lemurs are not at all afraid of people and allow you to take selfies with them. Guinea pigs crawl underfoot, iguanas are indifferent to people and allow themselves to be touched and fed. Birds and turtles are also not afraid of people. You can feed almost all animals here – even an impressive-looking chimpanzee stretches his hand between the bars of the cage for a treat. There are many colorful parrots and other tropical birds here. But still, the park is not too big, in a couple of hours you can walk around the whole and have plenty to talk with his pets.

Loro Park

But the star of Tenerife is, of course, Loro Park. This park is located on the northern coast of the island – you can get to it as part of an excursion group, by public transport or by car. It is better to come here in the morning, it is so big and interesting that you will not notice how the whole day will pass. This park began with a collection of parrots, but over time, it was replenished with many other animals. Have you ever seen a red panda or an anteater? Not? They are in Loro Park!

When entering the park, you must take a map of the park, which also contains the show schedule. First, plan a visit to all the shows – dolphins, exotic birds and killer whales – you will get a lot of impressions! Be sure to check out the Animal Embassy Pavilion, where parrot chicks from new hatchlings to two months old can be seen through glass. If you are lucky, you will be able to watch a bird doctor who conducts examinations or performs operations right in front of visitors.

In this park, the contact zone is a piece of tropical forest, where many birds fly freely under the net. If you go along the high-altitude route, you can see bright exotic birds at arm’s length, sitting at the feeders and enjoying fruits and seeds. In general, you can walk in this park for a long time – not only animals and birds are collected here, but also many plants from different parts of the world. There are more than 300 species of parrots alone.

And be sure to buy the yellow baseball cap with the Loro Parca logo for 1 euro!

Tenerife Water Parks

Both Aqualand and Siam Park are located on the southwest coast very close to each other.

It’s better to start with a visit to “Aqualand” – it is smaller and the slides in it are simpler. There are several children’s zones in this park – if your child is not older than 6-7 years old, then here he will be happy! For adults, there are also good slides here – those that go down on foam rugs deserve special attention – there will be no bruises! The water in the pools and on the slides in this water park is sea. Once a day, this park hosts a show with dolphins – do not miss it!

Local residents come to this park with large families as if for a picnic – they take portable refrigerators with food and relax all day. And what is important, there are not too many people in this park, you won’t have to stand in queues for the slides for a long time.

If your children are of school age, then Siam Park will delight them! According to TripAdvisor, this water park is the best in the world. There is a large green area, many interesting slides and just a huge wave pool, near which the beach is located. From most of the slides, they ride on inflatable cheesecakes and rafts. One of the features of Siam Park is an aquarium with sharks, through which sliders fly through the pipes. Usually, each water park has a calm attraction – a slow river, along which vacationers float on cheesecakes and sunbathe. Here is a river with a surprise! If you turn into an additional small circle and climb right on the cheesecake along the travelator, then at the end of the path you will find an unforgettable descent along the rapids and through the aquarium with sharks!

Unlike Aqualand, there are a lot of people in this park, so you have to queue for the most popular slides. But they are worth it, trust me! Because the park is very large, you should put your things in a safe – it costs only 3 euros + 5 euros as a deposit – and ride calmly.

Teide Volcano and National Park

If you rent a car, a trip to the Teide volcano is a must. The road to the volcano passes among the picturesque mountains, along the way you can see lava fields and many amazing landscapes. Up to a height of 2.3 km you can climb by car, the next section of the path to a height of 3555 meters can be reached by funicular. There are 3 routes further from the funicular – 2 routes in different directions with many observation platforms and one up to the top of the volcano. To get to the top, which has a height of 3718 meters, you need to take care of obtaining a free online permit, which is done on the site. A limited number of permits are issued per day to protect the top of the volcano from the uncontrolled invasion of tourists.

Even if you decide to go up only to the top platform of the funicular, take care of comfortable shoes. Tourist trails are laid on stones and it is very difficult to move along them in heels or in beach shoes. It is quite windy at the top and the air temperature is lower than at the bottom, so you should take care of clothes with sleeves.

The last time the Teide volcano erupted was in 1909, currently it is sleeping, but it can wake up at any moment! Even in the area of the upper platform of the funicular, the smell of sulfur is sometimes felt and this gives extreme.

How to save some money on parks and cars

Everything is not cheap in the Canary Islands, so you should definitely use the opportunity to save money! If you plan to visit parks and water parks, pay attention to the so-called Twin tickets, which are bought at once in 2 parks.

Loro Park and Siam Park have the same owner, so you can buy a Twin Ticket for 58 euros to visit both parks. When visiting the first park, they take a fingerprint so that someone else cannot use your discount, and give a ticket to the second park.

Aqualand and Jungle Park have taken a cue from previous parks and teamed up for mutual promotion, Twin Ticket to these parks costs 35 euros per adult. Everything is simpler here, they do without fingerprints.

There are many car rental companies in Tenerife. If you need an inexpensive car, pay attention to Plus Car – you can rent a car from them for 20-30 euros per day. You can take care of the rental in advance, or you can do it right on the spot – at the agreed time, an employee will arrive at your hotel, take you to the company’s office, where you will draw up an agreement and receive a car within 10 minutes. You do not need to return the car to the office – give the keys to the hotel reception and they will pick it up without your participation.

Of course, entertainment options and travel routes around the island are not limited to those proposed – the island of Tenerife is large and diverse. You can travel through mountainous areas, walk through ancient towns and villages, sunbathe and swim on the beaches, go on a boat trip or to neighboring islands. Tenerife is beautiful and can offer holidays for every taste all year round!

Feedback about visiting Siam Park (Siam Park).

Monkey Park

Monkey Park (Monkey Park) is probably the most touching park in Tenerife, located in its southern part, very close to Las Americas. Take plenty of different sweet fruits with you!

Review and useful tips for visiting MonkeyPark (Monkey Park).

Aqualand Water Park

Aqualand (Aqualand Water Park) – a water park in the south of Tenerife, which lost its popularity after the opening of the large-scale Siam Park. Both water parks are nearby, so it’s up to you to choose. In my opinion, Aqualand will appeal to non-extremals and people who hate standing in lines for hours to ride down the slide. Well, Aqualand is much more adapted for children.

Located: Adeje (Adeje), near Los Cristianos and Las Americas.

Admission: €19.5 adults, €13 children

Review and tips for visiting Loro Park

Of course, I can’t claim that this is a complete list of amusement parks in Tenerife. But, I think, even for a two-week trip to the island, it will not be possible to visit all of them. So, choose the most-most, and have a pleasant stay!

Jungle Park in Tenerife

Do you go on holiday with your children? Are you tired of swimming and sunbathing and now you want bright, impressive events? Do you love animals and find inspiration in them? If you have seen the dragon tree and other endemic plants, conquered the volcano and the ocean, it’s time to get acquainted with the animal world of Tenerife! One of the best places to do this is Jungle Park, also known as Eagle Park.

Zoos are everywhere, as are people who are interested in animals. This kind of effortless acquisition of knowledge, like watching animals in a zoo, is popular among all generations of fauna lovers. Demonstrating to your children that captive animals can live in harmony with humans and in conditions that are equal to the wild in some ways is an invaluable experience, do not miss the chance. One of the best on the island of Tenerife in this respect is the Jungle Park, also known as the Eagle Park. Sounds intriguing, right?

Jungle Park and Loro Park are the two heavyweights of the Canarian entertainment industry and unique wildlife spots. Of course, they are compared to each other, but in fact they are very different, besides, a visit to Jungle Park will cost you less.

It is clear that keeping dolphins and killer whales in a huge pool of sea water, as well as penguins, which are the main feature of Loro Park, is not cheap. Not surprisingly, the ticket costs 33 euros. Jungle Park has a little less pathos and much more freedom, about the same animal performances, costs 24 euros for adults, 15.5 for children 5–10 years old and 7 for the smallest.

In addition, all major amusement parks in Tenerife offer a discount when buying two tickets to different places, such as a “twin ticket” to Jungle Park and Aqualand – only 35 euros per adult instead of 47 euros if you buy tickets separately.

Jungle Park is located near the southern resort of Las Americas and celebrates its 22nd anniversary this year. The second name – Eagle Park (Parque de las Aguilas) was given to the zoo by its main inhabitants. The same huge predatory hawk, or rather the bald eagle, which is depicted on the US coat of arms, entertains careless tourists in Jungle Park.

The North American continent is the main habitat for sea eagles, but here in the Canary Islands these freedom-loving birds are tame. They fly over the audience and show tricks in the open air arena. Sometimes the birds fly away on their own business, but they always return. Along with the eagles, there are also smaller birds – owls, owls, bright parrots, herons and falcons. A visit to the 30-minute bird shows is included in the ticket price. There are no crowds and queues, it is clearly visible from everywhere. Photos with birds, of course, are paid.

After looking at the amazing birds, be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the park, because this is a real jungle created by human hands on a bare ground. If you have already had time to ride along the southern coast, you have noticed that even grass does not grow in wild places – only thorns and sharp stones block the exit to the water.

Spread over 75,000 m², the good climate has brought hundreds of thousands of plants and trees from Africa, South and North America to the Jungle Park, and this piece of land has become a full-fledged home for tigers, hippos, primates, sea lions and penguins, raccoons, crocodiles, lemurs, turtles – who is not here! Animals live in a natural environment, without inconvenience and suffering – there are no cages, enclosures, unpleasant odors.

There are several catering outlets in the jungle, all very expensive and with tasteless food, so it is better to take sandwiches and drinks with you, this is allowed. The locals do just that.

Jungle Park Schedule

11:00-14:30 – exotic birds show

12:00-16:00 – bird of prey show

12:45 – penguin feeding

Millennial Dragon Tree in Ikod –
in Tenerife

Members of the Spanish Senate unanimously supported the initiative: to declare a thousand-year-old tree a world heritage!
Thousand-year-old Dragon Tree El Drago, located in Icod de los Vinos, may become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to the newspaper Diario de Avisos, on February 23, 1917, the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree, located in the municipality of Icod de Los Vinos (Icod de Los Vinos) on the island of Tenerife, was declared a natural monument, as a long-lived tree of historical and memorial significance for national interest.
Local authorities ignored this event, despite the fact that the thousand-year-old Drago (El Drago) is the real plant symbol of the island, which attracts millions of tourists who come to the city of Icod de los Vinos specifically to see this natural wonder.

Once again, the Canary Islands were chosen for the filming of the feature film

The famous English director Ridley Scott is filming a new film on the island of Fuerteventra called The book of Exodus (in the Russian version “Exodus”). The film is based on the biblical story of Moses. Filming takes place on the Canary Island for more than 5 weeks. More than 1000 people are involved in the filming process. According to press estimates, Ridley Scott invested more than 7 million euros in filming on the island. The premiere of the film is scheduled for December 12, 2014. The film stars Christian Bale, Sigourney Weaver, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley and others.

Fast & Furious 6 filmed in Tenerife

Fast and Furious will be filmed in Tenerife for several months. The film crew consists of 400 people. 100 cars and 3 military tanks were delivered from America.

Christoph Kisling, owner of Siam Park, never rests on his laurels. Being
is better, more modern, safer – three pillars on which Siam has always been kept. The event of this summer is the presentation of two new dizzying rides. The main work has already been completed. On July 13, after the official presentation, the slides will be open to visitors. 2.5 billion euros were invested in the construction of new attractions, Kinnaree and Sawasdee. Kinnaree is a winding mega-toboggan with a length of more than 200 meters with three dizzying sections, in one of which the “bun” with the movers flies to a height of more than 20 meters. Already when climbing Kinnaree, it becomes clear that something incredible awaits at the top: in a minute and a half of ascent, all life flashes before your eyes. But the amount of adrenaline that this attraction gives makes you return to it again and again. In a couple of sections, due to the speed, it is recommended to stretch out in order to save the “fifth” point. For example, in the “funnel” area or a water tornado. At the foot of the attraction, a bar has been prudently installed, where you can lower the concentration of adrenaline in the original Russian way.
Another new addition to Sawasdee (which means “welcome” in Thai) is a new children’s area with lots of fun. A real water jungle through which you can rush in four toboggans. Sawasdee
has a miniature of the Dragon, the park’s most visited attraction. Attention: it won’t be easy to get your child out of Sawasdee (so be patient). Kinnaree and Sawasdee have no analogues in any of the other parks in the world. Canadians were engaged in the construction, installation of structures and setting up attractions. It turns out that it is in this country that the largest plant is located, producing everything necessary for dizzying water entertainment.

Now the family of sea lions also lives in SiamPark, a water amusement park, which is located in the south of the island in Las Americas and also belongs to Loro Park. Cubs weight 9kg., most of the time they spend with their mothers. Sea lions belong to the Californian species of lions, reaching 90 – 100 kg. weight in females and 300 – 380 kg. weight in males. Now Loro Parque is running a naming contest for newborn sea lion cubs, in which anyone can participate by visiting Loro Parque’s Facebook page.

San Borondón – the search for a mysterious island.

People and History – History

Hits: 20951

The island of San Borondón is probably the most intriguing one to all inhabitants of the Canary Islands. Its legend is part of the local culture and the quest for it is a never-ending story, even today with all the technology available.
For ages, the island was called in many tales, ballads, poems and folkloric songs “the mysterious one, the lost one, the unreachable one”. Based on those persistent rumours, many expeditions were initiated from the 15th till the 18th century – the most known was in 1721 under Juan de Mur y Aguirre, an admiral – and many naval maps were drawn.

+Pizzigano drew a map of San Borondón in the 15th century, Toscanelli in the 15th century and in the 16th century the engineers P. Cazorla and L. Torriani drew a detailed map of the island which, according to them, should measure 480km by 155km (that’s a big island!) and would be located 550km NNW from El Hierro and 220km WSW from La Palma. The historian Abbey Galindo even located it on 10º10’ West; 29º30’ North. But the island – obviously – was never discovered and has led to many controversial polemics.
Already during the Greek era, legends about emerging and disappearing islands were popular, as they were fed by calamities like the destruction of nowadays Santorini. Furthermore, according to a poem of the 6th century AD, an Irish monk Saint Brandan de Clonfert (480 – 576) embarked with 14 other monks into the Atlantic till they landed on an island. When celebrating mass and starting a fire, the island began to move and it turned out that the island was a gigantic whale. They left the island, returned home and the legend was born.
In order to understand the magic during the Middle Ages that was generated from an unknown or mysteriously disappearing island, one can compare this with what we sense today about our quest for unknown exo-planets. And, today, we do have pictures and/or measurements of these objects available to control our imagination. At that time there was no possibility to generate exact data, except the very landing on the island itself. There are some stories that document a landing on an island that was inhabited and that frequently was haunted by suddenly upcoming stormy weather. Some other stories tell about the sighting of an unknown island to the West of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, but when approaching it, it became suddenly covered by fog and then disappeared. So it came that this disappearing island got the name of the originator of the legend of disappearing islands: Saint Brandan or – in Spanish – San Borondón. The legend began to make its own life as in 1479 it was officially included in a treaty between Spain and Portugal, claiming it to belonging to the Canary Islands and thus to Spain. The notion of the 8th Canary Island had begun, and so the search for it.
As many examples in the past have demonstrated, there can be some truth in the sighting of this island, whether it was by a meteorological event – a Fata Morgana – or by a correct sighting and a later misinterpretation about its location. After all, the legends of dragons have been fed by ancient discoveries of skulls of dinosaurs – maybe even of the Tyrannosaurus Rex – but at that time those who found or studied them could not interpret them correctly.
In the case that the sighting was a Fata Morgana – and modern meteorological knowledge about local weather patterns seem to allow for such an event – the image that would have been seen could have been that of La Palma. The silhouette of the island could match with some drawings from that period.
A variation on the theme of Fata Morgana is that the undisturbed area between the 4 Canary Islands – La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma and Tenerife – and the islands “Las Salvajes” that are situated some 165 km to the north of Tenerife, allows for a rare phenomenon called “Atmospheric Reflection” which means that on some slightly foggy days the sunlight reflects the image of the larger island onto the clouds, which they in turn reflect it back on a foggy sea surface near the 4 islands which will give the impression that the image is close by one of those 4 islands. Some kind of optical billiard.

In the case that the sighting was genuine, we have to look for the data from then and try to match those with what we see today.
the island should lay in the West of the archipelago / the North of Tenerifethere should be 3 mountains, divided into two dominating mountain groups, with in between a forest the island was defined to be inaccessible and could disappear in fog or clouds a map of the 17th century located San Borondón to the north of Tenerife one drawing shows an island with an oval shape, another one shows an island with an elongated shape
some sightings have been reported from the north shore of Tenerife

If we use Google Earth® to search for candidates, we end up with Madeira in the NNW, Las Salvajes in the NNW, and – a lot further away – the Azores in the NNW. The group of islands, closest to the Canary Islands are the Salvajes which comprise of two groups: one island that measures 1,5×1,5 km and a group of tiny islands that altogether span an area of about 2x2km – 15km below the first group. The largest island has an altitude of about 163m and the group of smaller islands is covered by the sea at high tide, but shows up by low tide at full or new moon with an altitude of some 2m (!) Due to the round shape of the earth, one can only witness this phenomenon from the proximity, meaning a couple of miles. But when reaching the area with a sailing boat after a couple of hours, the lower island already could have flooded again due to the tidal movements…
The shape of the largest island of “Las Salvajes” corresponds greatly with one of the drawings that were made in the 17th century. If you take into account that the submerged islands could have been interpreted from a distance as one island, then this imaginary island would have the shape of the documented elongated island. The island group “Las Salvajes” now belong to Portugal. The main island has no potable water, is desert like with a rocky soil, has steep and cut out shores and treacherous reefs which makes it almost inaccessible. It has three mountains (!), the highest one measures 163m.

Hallucination or wrong interpretation of real sightings, whatever the correct story would be, it has given us an entertaining legend that continues to exist, even after a thousand years. Sound culture is made of this kind of traditions.

The Canarian legend of San Borondón

One of the most popular legends of the Canary Islands tells the story of a ninth island, San Borondón, which appears and disappears near El Hierro and can be seen among the sea of clouds from Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera.

Medieval cartographers already depicted it as part of the archipelago on their maps. It was even believed that San Borondón had once been detached from the American continent.

Origin of San Borondón and its legend
Many islands have been associated with the Canary Islands, from the Blessed to the Fortunate Ones themselves. Reference has also been made to Atlantis itself. But no story has been as real as that of San Borondón. This island appeared in the 1479 Treaty of Alcazobas, which divided the Atlantic between Portugal and Castile. It was even photographed in the late 1950s and published by ABC.

The first mention of San Borondón appears in a 9th century text narrating the travels of the Irish monk Saint Brandán, to whom the island owes its name. The abbot Saint Brandán the Navigator dedicated his life to evangelising in unknown lands in the Atlantic Ocean.

Saint Brandán made a maritime expedition to the Canary Islands in 516. According to his account, he arrived at a lush island of black sand that appeared and disappeared, but not because of the action of the sea mist, but because it was a giant fish. Brandán also said that on this island the sun never set and the trees were full of fruit.

The sea, a place for dreamers
Stories such as that of San Borondón motivated many sailors to undertake voyages in search of these paradises.

In an attempt to find the ninth Canary Island, several expeditions were made. One of the first took place at the end of the 15th century and was led by Fernando de Viseu, nephew of Henry the Navigator of Portugal. In the time of Philip II, the engineer Leonardo Torriani also claimed to have travelled around the island. Around the same time, a Portuguese navigator, Pedro Vello, would add to the legend of San Borondón with one of the best accounts.

Pedro Vello landed on a mysterious island to the west of La Palma and El Hierro when he had to change course to take shelter from a storm. He said that, once on land, the wind picked up again so much that he rushed to the ship, leaving two sailors “forgotten” on land.

All these stories, more or less fantastic, continued to feed the myth of San Borondón. The fact that, at a time when the oceans were practically completely conquered, the myth of an island that appeared and disappeared still survived shows that there must at least have been a great geographical misunderstanding surrounding San Borondón, a misunderstanding that Hernán Pérez de Grado, the first regent of the Royal Court of the Canary Islands, tried to dispel, ordering an official investigation into the mysterious island after numerous sightings in the previous months.

And so the legend continued to grow until Gaspar Domínguez organised the last official expedition to discover the ninth Canary Island in 1721. It was unsuccessful, and so San Borondón remained hidden and expeditions ceased.

Mapping a ghost island
San Borondón appears on a number of medieval and modern maps. It was the countless accounts that encouraged many cartographers to include the ninth island on their maps.

The Hereford Planisphere, dated 1290, is the first map to make reference to St. Baron in a Latin inscription stating: “The six Fortunate Isles are the Isles of St. Brandan”.

During the 14th century, Pizzigano drew the island at a short distance from El Hierro. At the time, San Borondón was believed to be located some 550 kilometres west-northwest of El Hierro, although others claimed it was much closer. It was also presumed to be around 500 kilometres long from north to south and 150 kilometres wide from east to west. The last map that respected the legend of the ghost island was Gautier’s Geographical Chart of 1755.

The legend of the ghost island of San Borondón, in the Canary Islands

Is there an island in the Canaries that appears and disappears? San Borondón has been sighted and depicted on maps, but no one has been able to prove its existence, although its history remains deeply rooted in the archipelago.

Samuel Biener Meteored Spain 14 Nov 2021 7 min The legend of the island of San Borondón is one of the best known and most loved by the Canary Islanders. Its appearances could be due to very specific meteorological situations.

An island that appears and disappears without a trace? Considered by many Canarians as just another island, San Borondón is one of the most popular and deeply rooted legends of the Spanish Canary Islands. Such is its importance that today you can find numerous avenues, streets and neighbourhoods named after it. And there is a fascinating story behind it.

The surprising story of the monk Saint Brendan

First documented in the 9th century, the island owes its name to Saint Brendan the Navigator (San Borondón in Spanish), an Irish monk who in the 6th century evangelised the waters of the North Sea in “currach”, a type of leather-clad boat, with which he managed to land in such inhospitable places as the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

On one of his voyages further south, legend has it that Saint Brendan arrived at an island that appeared and disappeared, not because of the weather, but because it was a giant fish that later guided the monk to an island paradise on earth: the ninth island of the Canary Islands, which would later be known as San Borondón.

Expeditions in search of an island thought to exist for centuries

The island of San Borondón was first mapped in the Hereford Planisphere, dated 1290, on which the following inscription appears: “the six Fortunate Isles are the Islands of Saint Brendan”. By contrast, Ebstorf’s Mappa Mundi, contemporary to the previous one, is more cautious in stating that “St. Brendan discovered it, but no one has found it since“.

#FolkloreThursday I was born in the Canary Islands and for centuries there’s the legend of a “hidden” island in the Archipelago looming out a mysterious mist, even registered in ancient maps, called “San Borondón” (Saint Berdrand). My father, a fishermen swears he saw it once 😉 pic.twitter.com/sCqqgtfaRt

In the centuries that followed, the expeditions did not cease, and San Borondón was still depicted on maps of the time to the west of the Canary Islands. Its importance was such that in the Treaty of Alcáçovas (1479), which Spain and Portugal signed to divide up the territories of a still unexplored Atlantic, San Borondón was included in the Canary Islands archipelago.

Its historical importance was such at the time that the Treaty of Alcáçovas (1479) included the island of San Borondón in the Canary Islands archipelago.

At the time, the island was said to be located some 200 kilometres southwest of La Palma, and was approximately 480 kilometres long and 155 kilometres wide, with two large volcanoes at either end. There are accounts of explorers and sailors who claim to have landed on San Borondón. However, the island gradually fell into oblivion, and was last depicted in Gautier’s Geographical Chart (1755), shortly after the last official expedition led by Gaspar Domínguez.

It was photographed in 1958 from the… San Borondón hamlet!

In the middle of the 20th century, the legend of San Borondón burst onto the Spanish news. On 10 August 1958, Manuel Rodríguez Quintero managed to take what appeared to be the first photograph of the ghost island, which was published by the newspaper ABC.

And where was the snapshot taken from? From the hamlet of San Borondón! in the south of Tazacorte (La Palma), which today is threatened by lava flows from the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Meteorological conditions could explain the mystery

The images captured by Rodríguez Quintero show what appears to be a layer of mist on the sea surface, so the supposed sightings were probably an optical illusion produced by the reflection of light under certain atmospheric conditions. It could also be an accumulation of clouds.

OMG! That’s gorgeous! According to some the mysterious 8th Canary Island, San Borondón is actually the shadow of Teide cast into the ocean;) https://t.co/pxtK04uEA7

— Gabriella Zemlenyi (@GabiZemlenyi) July 3, 2017

The explanation that seems most plausible is the phenomenon known as “fata morgana“, a mirage that occurs when there are different layers of air with different densities, usually in a situation of thermal inversion, causing the refraction of light rays, giving rise to the unique mirages that resemble islands, trees, boats or cities floating on the sea. Sometimes, an inverted image of the objects appear on the horizon, which we see above their original position.

Although some people believe in the island of San Borondón, it is more likely that clouds and sea mirages such as the “fata morgana” are responsible for sightings.

However, whether it exists or not, the Canarian people have always been very fond of the legend, downplaying the importance of whether or not such an island ever physically existed, as its survival in Canarian folklore makes it real.

One of the best examples of this can be found in these lines by the Canarian poet Luis Álvarez Cruz, who wrote: “San Borondón… Oh, fantastic myth of mist, intact and fleeting land, divine and dazzling! I love you, strange island that emerges amidst foam, and amidst foam you sink and erase in an instant”. Just in case, on your next visit to the Canary Islands, keep an eye on the horizon in case you manage to catch sight of San Borondón.

The Legend of San Borondón | Tenerife Blogs : It’s all a matter of perspective

Posted on February 9, 2021 by Red Queen’s Musings

In the 16th century, the Canaries were overrun with pirates far more than the Caribbean. Instead of the fictional “Captain Jack Sparrow”, there was the real-life Captain John Hawkins. Even the legendary eighth Canary Island, San Borondón was brought into the picture, with the pirates claiming that that was where they hid their ships. This was directly reflected in the “Isla de Muerte”, featured in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films.

This was enough though to start the old grey matter churning. Like many, I had vaguely heard about the legendary island called San Borondón (sometimes called Whale Island) so knowing how the readers of this blog like a bit of mystery and intrigue, I thought I would see what it was all about.

Different accounts are told of San Borondón which mysteriously appears and disappears to the west of El Hierro and La Gomera but the base of all the tales remain basically the same. So taking a bit from here and a bit from there I pieced together the story which goes something along the lines of …

Sometime between 501 to 600AD an Irish monk, Brendan from Tralee, sailed across the Atlantic in a small ship with 14 other missionaries. They were looking for the ‘Promised Land’, an island of happiness and wealth, a Garden of Eden. Hey, haven’t we been here before with The Garden of Hesperides?

Along the way their boat was attacked by fire-hurling demons, floating crystal columns and eventually, after 40 days the monks reached what appeared to be a lush island with clean black sand but no signs of human life. Some tales say they lived on the island for seven years, others just that they landed on the island. Whichever you believe, they were suddenly taken by surprise while celebrating mass. The island started to move and the monks immediately set sail. Once away from the imminent danger, the monks watched in amazement as the island moved in the water much like a gigantic whale, appearing and disappeared beneath the waves.

In due course, we find Brendan back in Ireland where we also learn of a poem that tells the tale of a monk who sailed the oceans and an island that when approached vanishes. Somewhere lost in the midst of time a connection was made that this monk was Saint Brendan and the mysterious island was San Borondón.

All this would be a nice legend except many think there is more to it. When the Canaries were conquered in the 15th century, the Spanish were told stories by the native Guanches, about an eighth island. An island to the west of El Hierro that came and went! Around the time of Christopher Columbus, the island appeared on numerous maps and the authorities were so convinced it was true that expeditions sailed from Santa Cruz to try and find it, the last one as late as 1721. Many sailors said they had seen it but as they tried to reach it, a thick mist came in and when it cleared, they found nothing.

Even today, the tale persists with many saying they have seen the fabled island between the sea and the clouds, others claim it is simply a mirage. However, while I was researching the story I came across a picture of this Google map of the Canary Islands. Someone has circled in red what looks like a small landmass. Is this the location of San Borondón?

So perhaps it is not a myth after all, which is why many islanders can be found sitting on the shore, gazing out to sea, hoping to catch a glimpse of the phantom island

What makes the Red Queen’s Tenerife blog different?

For starters, what you read is not written by a professional travel writer. I do it because I remember what it was like to have the dream. To want to live somewhere with beautiful beaches, wild seas, sun filled days, glorious sunsets and whilst most of the time it is idyllic nowhere is Nirvana. So I tell you if it is good and I tell you if it is bad. The difference is I don´t do it because someone is paying me to say nice things about Tenerife.

LA GOMERA ISLAND (Canary Islands): San Borondon: The Mystery Canary Island

San Borondon: The Mystery Canary Island

There’s even a San Borondon brand of mineral water on sale in the Canary Islands which shows the shape
of the mysterious St. Brendan’s island as it was described by many who’ve claimed to have seen it

As promised in my last post, today I’m introducing you to a myth that has been around for centuries. Saint Brendan’s island or San Borondon in Spanish is described by IslandMomma below:

…” We stood on the northern hillside of Tenerife, overlooking the Mar de Nubes, the famous Sea of Clouds, which often circles the island’s peaks. I pointed out the peaks of the island of La Palma, which drifted above clouds on the horizon, twin, purple, mysterious humps .

“That reminds me,” my friend said. “The other day from the boat I saw an island, but I wasn’t sure which one it was,” and he described its position. I knew that there should be no island in the direction he indictated, but I also knew exactly what he had seen.

I drew a deep, sharp breath. “You saw the magic island of San Borondon,” I whispered. A tingle of excitement ran down my spine.

It took the Crown of Castille almost a hundred years to seize all of the Canary Islands, most of the 15th century, as the chain succumbed, island by island. The conquerors were aware that throughout history myths and legends had swirled around the archipelago. One maintained that the mountain peaks were all that remained of the lost city of Atlantis. Another claimed them to be the site of the fabled Garden of the Hesperides.

In a time when active volcanoes still struck fear into human hearts, Tenerife was claimed to be the last island to fall in 1496; but was it?

To this day rumors abound of another island, one never found by the Conquistadors, and never conquered by the Spanish crown. Never found because it has the magical power to become invisible, to shroud itself in mists so that we disbelieve what our eyes see, or not to be visible at all to the human eye.

My 1978 copy of the book

It is said that St Brendan of Clonfert, a 6th century Irish monk was the first person to set foot on this ghostly isle. St Brendan, or San Borondon in Spanish, himself a figure of legend, set sail with fellow monks in a simple vessel of the sort normally used for coastal fishing in those days, a vessel not designed for distant travel. It is claimed by some that the group even reached the shores of the Americas, recording the many wonders discovered along the way, from fire-breathing dragons to miraculous columns of crystal floating on the ocean. (It was a large version of a currach with a wooden frame covered with leather in which they set sail from Co. Kerry, and British explorer and historian Tim Severin sailed a replica across the Atlantic in 1977 – Ed. )

After days and days at sea with supplies run out, dehydrated, hungry and weary, and praying for a safe port at which to land, they saw the mists before them parting, and an island of an emerald green to rival their own Ireland appeared. Thankful, they landed, and finding the island abundant in all the supplies they needed, from fresh sweet water to luscious fruit, they feasted, and then said mass in gratitude to their benevolent god.

It seems, however, that their god was not so generous as they hoped. In the midst of the ceremony the island began to shake and tremble, and fires began to spurt from its steep mountainsides. The monks ran for their flimsy vessel, and set sail once more, fearful as the island disappeared again into the ocean mists.

Another version of the legend tells that the island was actually a gigantic, dozing sea creature, whose awakening scared our adventurers, and others speak of rivers of fire or not-so-friendly natives attacking the landing party.

Although the truths of these legends can never be proven, their substance is clear, rivers of fire or fire breathing dragons could easily be ancient explanations of volcanoes, and crystal columns on the ocean, icebergs. Saint Brendan made it back to his homeland in time, and never returned to the island that now bears his name.

Whether or not there was an additional Canary Island has now been debated for centuries. Its position, if it existed, or exists, was somewhere west of the islands which now comprise the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife – La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro as well as Tenerife island itself. There are said to be reports of sailors or islanders who have actually set foot on it, but no definitive proof that it ever existed, despite explorations, notably one in the 18th century.

There are stories in Canarian folklore which reference this mythical island, stories which involved dragons and magic gardens, and lives untainted by man’s usual preoccupations. To hear one of these stories told by a good storyteller is to be transported to another place and time, without the aid of moving pictures or even still ones, an expert teller of tales can make you believe in just about anything so long as you are willing.

It is, of course, possible that a volcanic island emerged from the ocean at some point, but that further volcanic activity destroyed it, causing it to sink back into the depths. Me, I prefer to suspend my disbelief and think that what my friends spied on the horizon that day was the missing island. …”

Canarian legends: From San Borondón to the courageous leader Tanausú

Our canary legends They tell us of past times in which powerful Guanche leaders lived on the islands, of love stories with a tragic ending and even of mythical creatures and sightings of unidentified flying objects.

The Canary Islands have always been a territory rich in traditional and legendary stories. We can find them on any of its islands, from Tenerife to Lanzarote (here we leave you an article about what to see in it) and from Cafeteria but also El Hierro. They are stories that have been passed from generation to generation without losing validity and that have also contributed to forging the character of its people. There are many Canarian legends that we could tell you, but we will try to focus on the most famous ones. If you want to know them, we invite you to continue reading.

We will begin our review of the Canarian legends located in the times of the ancient inhabitants of the islands to finish in another that is still fully current. In this case, we are talking about the island of San Borondón.

Tanausú, the brave leader of La Palma

Caldera de taburiente

The conquest of La Palma for the Spanish crown occurred in 1492. During the month of September, he landed on the island Alonso Fernandez de Lugo with his troops. He did not meet much resistance until he had to face the inhabitants of Steel, town located in the caldera de Taburiente.

His leader was Tanausu, who, along with his people, repulsed the peninsular with stones and arrows. Since they had no way of defeating him, they devised a trap. Fernández de Lugo convinced him to meet him and sign a peace agreement.

However, upon arrival the leader was captured and taken to the Peninsula as a trophy of his conquest. However, Tanausú refused to eat. Just said «Vacaguaré», which means I wish to die. This happened and his remains were buried in the sea.

However, the legend says that, after his death, the warrior’s soul returned to his land and was fossilized in his own Caldera de Taburiente, where he had reigned. Locals say that the silhouette of this volcano recreates the image of the brave Tanausú.

Garajonay, a favorite place for Canarian legends

Garajonay park

El Garajonay national park occupies a large part of the island of La Gomera. It includes beautiful laurel forests and a privileged vegetation that have led to it being declared Heritage. Perhaps for this reason, it is a propitious place for Canarian legends. There are a few that take it as a scenario, but we will tell you the one that speaks of a kind of Romeo and Juliet islanders that have given the park its name.

Race was the princess of La Gomera, while Jonay he was prince of Tenerife. They both fell in love during a visit from the mencey (or king) of Adeje, of whom the young man was the son. They returned to their land, but Jonay could not forget the beautiful aristocrat.

So he crossed the sea using floats made of swollen goatskin skins to ask for her hand. Although the young woman was attracted to him, she had to reject him because the volcano Echeyde began to expel fire. Keep in mind that Gara was the princess of Agulo or “of water” and her priests decreed that a love between water and fire could not be given.

For this reason, Gara and Jonay fled to the forests where, desperate before their pursuers, they committed suicide in a romantic way. They took a cedar stick, sharpened it on both sides and, placing it at the height of their hearts, they embraced while nailing it. Therefore, a last hug united them forever in what is now Garajonay Park.

Ferinto’s scream

Island of El Hierro

This Canarian legend takes us to the times when the peninsular tried to take over the island of Hierro. The natives, known as bimbaches, they put up a stubborn resistance.

A mighty warrior named Ferinth. He soon became the leader of a group that caused many headaches for the colonizers, in turn led by John of Bethencourt. Their great advantage was that they knew the roads and mountains of El Hierro like the back of their hand.

But, as has happened so many times, Ferinto was betrayed by one of his own. Thanks to the denunciation, the warrior was surrounded and tried to flee until he reached a deep ravine. Faced with the prospect of being arrested, he preferred commit suicide and jumped into the void uttering such a powerful cry that was heard all over the island. Even his own mother heard him and thus knew that he had died.

The curse of Laurinaga or why Fuerteventura is arid

The arid Fuerteventura

The Island Fuerteventura is, together with its neighbor Lanzarote, the driest of the Canary Islands. According to mythology, this has a legendary explanation with some Greek tragedy.

After the arrival of the peninsulars, Mr. Pedro Fernández de Saavedra he became lord of Fuerteventura. He had a relationship with a native named Laurinaga of which a child was born. However, as was frequent then, the aristocrat married a woman of his noble status with whom, in turn, he had several offspring.

While they were hunting, one of them named Luis tried to rape a girl. But a peasant who was nearby prevented it. Then, Don Pedro killed him to protect his son. Then an old woman arrived who said she was the farmer’s mother. But, not only that, this woman told Don Pedro that she was Laurinaga and that the young man she had just killed was his own son, the one they both had at the beginning of this story.
Furthermore, Laurinaga cast a curse on the island as a result of which Fuerteventura became desert.

The devil of Timanfaya, Canarian legend about aloe vera

Devil of Timanfaya

How could it be otherwise, the volcanic nature of the Canaries has given rise to many legends related to both the eruptions and the capricious rock formations that the former have produced.

One of them has to do with the Timanfaya volcano. as Lanzarote. One of its most brutal eruptions took place on September 1730, XNUMX, engulfing a quarter of the island. Unfortunately, a wedding was held that day near the volcano.

A huge rock imprisoned the body of Edge, girlfriend. Despite the enormous efforts of Aloe, the groom, his beloved died. Then, this one started running maddened and armed with a five-pointed forca in the direction of Timanfaya until it disappeared engulfed by the volcano. As a reminder of that tragic event, a beneficial plant grows in the national park created around Timanfaya, precisely to heal burns: the aloe vera.

On the other hand, the figure known as the Timanfaya devil which is currently the image of the park is due to the young Aloe. But not because of his bad behavior, but because the wedding guests, seeing his image reflected in the incandescence of the lava and also his misfortune, sentenced “poor devil!”.

San Borondón Island, the most popular Canarian legend

Renaissance world map showing the island of San Borondón

We have left for the end of our journey through the Canarian legends the one whose protagonist is the ghost island of San Borondón, for being, perhaps, the most popular of them all.

It is also known for “loss” y “The enchanted”. Because it is an island that appears and disappears. Sometimes it barely allows a glimpse of its silhouette on the horizon. However, the first testimonies of its existence date from Medieval, when the Castilian cartographers already mentioned it.

Furthermore, in 1479 the monarchies of Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Alcáçovas, through which the waters and lands of the Atlantic Ocean were distributed. In this document, it was already clearly specified that San Borondón belonged to the Canary archipelago.

According to cartographers of the time, the island would be found within the triangle formed by La Palma (here you have an article about this), El Hierro and La Gomera. And the most curious thing is that it would not be nothing small. It would be almost five hundred kilometers long and about a hundred and fifty-five wide.

There has even been talk of its conformation. It would be concave in its central part, while, on the sides, two considerable mountains would rise. In fact, over the centuries several expeditions have been made to find it. Among them, that of Ferdinand of Viseu, already in the fifteenth century, that of Hernan Perez de Grado or of Gaspar Dominguez.

However, no one has found the island of San Borondón. The most recent testimonies of its sighting occurred in the middle of the 1958th century. In XNUMX, the daily ABC announced that she had been photographed for the first time.

In conclusion, we have shown you some of the most popular and interesting canary legends. However, we have still left some in the pipeline. For example, that of the princess tenesoya from Gran Canaria, kidnapped by the Castilians and forced to marry a peninsular nobleman; that of the Anaga witches, who organized covens among the sacred dragon trees, or that of the violet of the peaks, which is born every spring in the Roque de los Muchachos as a reminder of a tragic love story. Don’t you think stories full of lyricism and imagination?

Error islands, ghost islands, myth islands. Atlantic without Atlantis

Error Islands, Ghost Islands, Myth Islands

Thus, many of the islands marked on the old maps of the Atlantic underwent an amazing transformation: first, their names were given to non-existent objects, and then, when real lands began to be discovered in the ocean, ready-made labels-names began to be pasted to these lands. The “migration of the islands” to the west caused a lot of trouble for historians of geographical discoveries. Indeed, at first glance, everything seems simple: on the maps of the XIV century there are, for example, the names of the islands of San Zorzi and Corbi Marini, they are also preserved in the names of two islands of the Azores archipelago. This means that the archipelago itself was discovered in the XIV century, and not in the next, as it is written in textbooks. Following this logic, it must be admitted that it was not Columbus who discovered America, but some medieval navigators long before him: the name “Brazil” is on the map of the first half of the 14th century, the island of Antilia in the Atlantic is also known long before the first voyage of Columbus, etc. e. Only after a thorough analysis of old maps and manuscripts did scientists manage to understand the complex and confusing picture created by the “migratory names”, to trace their path from the shores of Europe across the Atlantic to the shores of the New World, where they “settled” finally in the form of names Virgin Islands , Brazil, Greater and Lesser Antilles.

But this is only a small part of all the names that the waters of the Atlantic Ocean were full of on maps of the 14th, 15th and even 16th centuries. (Brazil broke the record of longevity among all the legendary islands of the Atlantic: it is indicated on almost thirty maps of 1325-1571, sometimes as three islands; they tried in vain to find it in the ocean during the 16th-18th centuries, it is indicated, however, map of 1776, and, finally, a map of 1853 shows it in the form of a high cliff!) Why are there many times more islands in the Atlantic on old maps than on modern maps?

When the historians of geographical discoveries deciphered the names of the legendary islands, they discovered that a significant number of them were the result of misunderstandings and errors made by the compilers of maps and authors of geographical treatises. For example, one cartographer showed in the Atlantic the island “Ventura, or de Columbis” (Pigeon), the second cartographer, not noticing “or”, made two islands from it: “Ventura” and “Pigeon” (Columbus). On medieval European maps there is an island “Santa Maria Talanta”. The Turkish admiral Piri Reis takes this long name for the designation of two islands and gives on his map the island of Santa Maria and, apart from it, the island of Talant. The misread name of the island of St. Brandan on the maps of medieval geographers turns into another island – “San Borondon” or “Borondon”.

The island of Fuerteventura in the Canary archipelago has not even “doubled” but “quintupled”. When medieval navigators discovered the Canary Islands, they named the first two of them Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. From the works of the Roman scientist Pliny, they knew that the islands of Canaria and Capraria (“Dogs” and “Goats”) were located in this area. The ancient islands were placed on the map next to the newly discovered ones (although in fact they were identical!), and in a distorted form: Capration and Capricia. Then another island of Capria (distorted Capraria) appeared, and the mysterious island “De Las Cabras” (Goat) “migrated” from the Canary archipelago and began to appear in various places in the Atlantic. After the discovery of Azor, it began to be identified with the current island of São Miguel in this archipelago. In addition, Fuerteventura “spawned” another island – Columbaria (Pigeon), and, finally, the island of Ventura appeared on some maps of the Atlantic – an independent island, although in fact it was an abbreviated spelling of Fuerteventura!

To the north of Fuerteventura is a small island now called Lobos. It was first discovered by the Italians, and since harbor seals were found here, the islet was named “Vecci Marini”, which literally means “Sea Elders” – this is the common Italian name for harbor seals. In Spanish, harbor seals are called “lobos marinos”, literally translated – “sea wolves”. And since the Spaniards and Italians did not know each other’s languages well, as a result, three independent islands appeared in the Atlantic: “Lobos” (Wolf), “Vehimar” and “Vedzimarin” (distorted “Vecchi Marini”). Thus, from the two small islands of the Atlantic – Fuerteventura and Lobos – medieval cartographers “carved out” as many as eight islands (moreover, Lobos was written both as Lobo, and as Louo, and as Lovo, and as Lovos, and as Lono, and as Lana, etc. d!). On one of these maps, near Iceland, an island with the Latin name “Insula Glacialis” is shown. But after all, this is Iceland – both names are translated as “Country of Ice”, “Ice Island”. Another map in the Atlantic shows the “Green Island”, somewhere nearby there is an image of the outlines of Greenland. The same picture, because “Greenland” is translated as “Green Land”, i.e. “Green Island”! Researchers of old maps have long puzzled over where the name of Monton Island came from in the Atlantic. It turned out that this is a distorted French “mouton”, that is, “ram, sheep”. But the name of the Faroe Islands literally means “Sheep Islands”. Ancient maps depict the island of Thule, which was mentioned by ancient authors as the edge of the inhabited earth. “Esto Thule” (“This is Thule”), read the Latin signature on the map. There was an author who not only took “Esto Thule” for the name and came up with the island of “Estotitland”, but also described the various events that took place on it! The ominous “Isle of Satan”, or “Island of the Hand of Satan”, also placed in the Atlantic, received the distorted name “San Atanaju” – “Saint Athanasius” … There could be many examples of such confusion. But already from the above it is clear that the same island could give rise to several names – and the island could be both real and fictional.

There were many “error islands” on the map of the Atlantic. However, this does not yet lead to the conclusion that all the legendary lands in the ocean are just a figment of the imagination of medieval cartographers who sat in their offices and never went out into the Atlantic waters. Sailors who dared to go out into the open ocean told about many islands, they saw them with their own eyes, but when they tried to approach the land, it disappeared like a ghost. When the Europeans colonized the Canaries and Azores, some settlers had the sight of an island lying in the ocean, somewhere to the west. We can read about this in the diary of the first voyage of Columbus, which became the beginning of a new era in the discovery of our planet.

According to Columbus, many Spaniards living in the Canary Islands, respectable and completely trustworthy people, swore by oath that from year to year they saw the land to the west of the Canaries. “The admiral recalls that in 1484, while he was in Portugal, someone from the island of Madeira came to the king and asked the king to give him a caravel to go to this land. He swore that this land is noticed from year to year and its appearance remains the same every time, – we read in the outline of Columbus’s diary, compiled by the largest Spanish historian-chronicler Bartolome Las Casas (the original diary has not reached us). “The admiral also recalls that they say the same thing in the Azores, and all in the same way mark the direction in which the land lies, its location and size. ”

Neither Columbus, nor any of the subsequent navigators managed to find land in the specified region of the ocean: the nearest islands lay thousands of kilometers to the west. However, even today, old fishermen from the Canary Islands continue to believe in the reality of the island lying to the west of the archipelago. This island, called by them “Land of St. Brandan”, then rises from the depths of the ocean, then again sinks to the bottom. It is clear that the legend of the enchanted island is generated by a mirage.

Mirages gave rise to the legend of the “Running Island”, which exists among the inhabitants of the coast of Massachusetts, as well as the legend of the enchanted island of San Morondon, which can be heard from the inhabitants of Spain and Portugal, and in the folklore of other peoples of the world it is not difficult to find a motif “disappearing”, “enchanted”, “ghostly” island. And the more often mirages appear in one or another region of the Earth, the more diverse, colorful and detailed are the stories about magical islands that exist among the inhabitants of these regions. For example, off the west coast of Ireland, especially on clear and warm autumn days, ghostlands very often appear in the ocean after sunset. When fishermen approach them, the islands disappear without a trace. It is not surprising that in the mythology of the ancient Irish, the fabulous islands take up so much space. On one of them, called the “Island of Spirits”, there is a paradise – only not Christian, but pagan, inhabited by beautiful maidens. Mere mortals sometimes manage to see it – but then the island disappears. Only the lucky one who manages to throw a piece of iron on this island or shoot an arrow there can climb the shore of magical land and settle in paradise. It is not difficult to guess where the island of Brazil (O’Brazil – “Happy”) and the “Island of Maidens” appeared on medieval maps – these are echoes of ancient Irish myths about a blissful paradise inhabited by beautiful women.

WEEKEND: The Island of Appearing and Disappearing Canary Territory – Telegraph+

The phenomenon gave birth to ominous legends.
terrnews.com
Spodeli
Let’s go to the Canary Islands to find riddles for oceanology, geolosy, history, archaeology and linguistics. But it’s probably a very intriguing mystery from the legendary archipelago that belongs to Spain, the island of San Borondon, which exists on the island – San Borondon, which has appeared and disappeared, and what can you see when it’s cloudy.
The first time it was associated with a sea trip, it was carried out in 516 by the Irish monk Sveti Brendan. According to legend, the famous missionary, together with another 17 monks, crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a kozhenata sea ladia and along the way got to Tosi Island. Toy beat potanal in greenery and the brothers decided to let them slide down to the shore. Their work, of course, beat them and serve the liturgy. Toi description of the island is kato mountainous, with many flowers and fruits. One from the nai-fire admirers on the Tazi legend e beat and Christopher Columbus. Tazi is a legend behind the light of Brendan, with a chieto name, some in Spanish stav Borondon, giving a name to the mysteries of the island.
Tverdi behold, what islands can and see, forbid fogs and clouds.

terrnews.com
Some Spanish and Portuguese expeditions in the 15th century were able to discover and challenge their power over it. In the last estimate of 1479, Spain and Portugal signed an agreement, according to which they divided the water area into the Atlantic Ocean. According to him, Spain received the archipelago, including San Borondon, and Portugal left Azori and Madeira. Before the 16th century, the Italian cartographer Leonardo Toriani, who came to serve under the Spanish thief Felipe II, described the size and exact location, based it on the sailors, who were sure, what they saw and visited. Technically, the city is located 550 km west-northwest of El Yero and 200 km west-southwest of La Palma, La Gomera. Those descriptions of the kato are impressive – almost a kilometer long and about a hundred petdesets and pets wide. In a note, in the direction from Toriani, there is more, than on Wednesday on the islands, there was a long hollow, fenced off from two planini temples. In modern times, the most reliable evidence for the existence of the islands is directed from the Spanish photographer Manuel Rodriguesm Quintero prez 1957, when he managed to capture the obscure silhouette of San Borondon. The phenomenon was witnessed by many choirs, and the material was published on ABC TV with the title “San Borondon Island for the Right to See the Lost”.

Zasega Island is not whitewashed on any single map. Contrary to the existence of many different theories, consider stav- ing a thought simply for a possible bi- holemia mirage in the world – one from three west of the island from the archipelago, especially on La Palma. Distinguished in temperature between the airy layer of prechupva and the bright light and such an illusion that they see distant landscapes, which does not correspond to reality. Contrary to Comrade San Borondon, the island continued and was often from the legend on the Canary Islands. And probably not a local resident or a tourist, who looked at the horizon with hope and see the secrets of the island, who appeared and disappeared.

Average Snow Days in Winter: 5 days a month

Best For: Romantics and culture lovers

Winter Temperature Range: -1 to 8° celsius | 30 to 46° fahrenheit

Average Snow Days in Winter: 1 day a month

Ok, so there probably won’t be snow. But what Venice has in common with many of these other winter destinations in Europe is that the crowds of summer will have long departed, leaving the evocative alleys, canals and bridges deserted.

Although snow is not likely, you may well experience the Acqua Alta, or ‘high water’, when the sea level gets so high in October, November and December that it spills over and floods the piazzas and streets of the city. Venetians are used to dealing with this, and the frequently hit Piazza San Marco (St Mark’s Square) has raised pedestrian walkaways at the ready.

You can do everything in Venice in winter that you can do in summer; strolling the streets and piazzas, visiting the islands like Murano, Burano and Torcello, and popping into palazzos, art gelleries, churches and museums as you wander.

If you visit in late winter from mid-February, you’ll find the Venice Carnival taking place, which is famous for its elaborate masks, and a huge event that attracts visitors from all over the world. This is not the time to visit if you’re on a budget!

Stay at the Hotel Moresco for its 19th century Venetian styling, excellent breakfast and fabulous service.

This was my first Exodus Trip, Joining my sister who has been on numerous Exodus trips before – I knew this was going to be a worthwhile trip. It was my first time to Finland and I was on the hunt for the Northern Lights. Having been to Iceland a few years back and not seeing them there I was determined to find the Lights…. And i did….twice!!

Basecamp is warm and cosy and in the perfect location. With a frozen lake and the woods to wander around you are not short of things to do. The staff are all really friendly and more than accommodating. They all have a brilliant but wicked sense of humour and definitely kept us laughing throughout the week.

I enjoyed every single activity that was planned and during our own time we got to explore, practice cross country skiing, sit in the hot tub and play in the snow!

Claire Dawson Finnish Wilderness Week

This was an amazing week filled with first time experiences. Finland is such a beautiful place. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on 2 nights- which was my main reason for going on this trip as well as the husky sledding. The day trip to Ruka was a great day, where I went snowmobiling which was great fun and watched people on the ski slopes. We visited a reindeer farm, where we got to feed the young reindeer.
An added bonus was crossing the Arctic Circle on the way to the airport at the end of the week. This was unexpected and ended the holiday wonderfully!

Sarah Boult Finnish Wilderness Week

The activities, landscape and Basecamp were all excellent. I was concerned that the itinerary looked less active in the second half of the week but, in fact, it was cleverly designed so that we were introduced to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on days 1 & 2, and allowed to retain the equipment so that we could continue with these activities whenever we had free time. Also, quinzee building on Friday was interesting and very active. Our room was spacious enough, with good storage, a comfortable bed, decent shower and even hairdryer – all with a lovely view. And it was warm! Communal areas were also warm, and welcoming at all times of day and evening. Staff always made time for a chat. The forest, lakes (frozen) and rivers are so pretty, it was wonderful to explore them. As a huge bonus, we saw the Northern Lights – twice.

If you head south, you’re more likely to experience a mild winter with plenty of sunshine. If you’re visiting Europe in December, no matter what country you’re in, the warm nostalgia of a holiday market isn’t hard to find.

If any of this has piqued your interest, here are the top bucket-list destinations in Europe for winter travels.

Best European Winter Destinations for Nature Fans

There’s nothing more whimsical in wintertime than when the landscape is blanketed in shimmering white. If you’re a nature lover, these places will supply the best winter vacations in Europe.

Lapland, Finland

Lapland, Finland is located in the northernmost area of the country. If you’re after a snowy escape, this region will provide the ultimate frosty winter vacation in Europe.

With fun activities like husky dog sledding, snowshoeing, and snowmobile safaris, it’s perfect for winter-thrill seekers. However, if relaxing is more your jam, there are plenty of options for that too.

Destress in a Finnish sauna, go on a magical reindeer sleigh ride or have a few drinks in an ice hotel.

Winter is also a great time to see the Northern Lights in Finland. Keep your eyes peeled for clear nights when stars illuminate the sky.

If you’re travelling to Europe in winter with kids, make sure to travel to Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi and meet the most famous jolly old elf.

This village is actually open year-round, but a heavy coating of snow makes the experience all the more special.

Iceland

Iceland takes the cake when it comes to dramatic wintery scenery. The snow doesn’t bury the landscape as you might think, but instead accentuates it.

Some attractions close during the winter months, but most of the main highlights remain open. These include the Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, glaciers, waterfalls, and ice caves.

Many of the museums and cultural attractions in Iceland also remain open during winter. If the weather isn’t great, pop into a museum and learn about Icelandic art, sagas, maritime history, and the fishing culture.

Iceland’s biggest winter draw is the Northern Lights.

Although you have a shot at seeing them anytime from October to April, the darker months of December, January and February produce the best conditions for viewing this natural phenomenon.

Norway

Norway is a Scandinavian country with a proper wintery landscape. Northern Norway is especially magical.

There is so much you can experience during the colder months, from dog sledding and downhill skiing to scenic train journeys and staying in an ice hotel.

If you’re keen on seeing the Northern Lights, head to the city of Tromsø. It sits in the middle of the “Northern Lights Belt” and has the optimal latitude for viewing this colourful phenomenon.

Alta, Norway is a winter destination perfect for an adventurous trip. Ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are just some of the activities you can enjoy in the snowy wilderness.

If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture, take an exciting reindeer sledding expedition with Sami guides.

If you’re a fan of a cosy Christmas, Norway is one of the best places to visit in December in Europe. Norwegians love to put extra effort into making Christmas as homey and festive as possible.

It’s not as overly commercialised as other countries. Norway paints the picture of a story-book Christmas scene. Think candles in windows, roasted chestnuts, and crackling fires.

Cape North, Norway; the most northern point in Europe

Slovenia

With frost-covered trees, snow-dusted castles, and towering mountain ranges that sparkle white, Slovenia is one of Europe’s wintertime hidden gems.

Winter is a very romantic time to visit the town of Bled. The lake freezes over and the tiny church on the centre island somehow becomes more photogenic.

Do a loop around the lake while breathing in the fresh mountain air. Picture opportunities of this idyllic fairytale scene will abound.

Afterwards, do what the locals do and warm up with some wine tasting and appetizers in the cosy little town centre.

For more fairytale winter scenes, visit Triglav National Park. With beautiful lakes, magical waterfalls, and snow-laded scenery, this is a dream destination for nature lovers.

The country’s largest lake, Lake Bohinj, is housed inside the park. It freezes over in winter and is framed by the breathtaking Julian Alps and lush snow-covered spruces.

Where to Take a Winter Vacation in Europe to Beat the Cold

If you prefer sun over snow, you’re in luck. There are some amazing warm-weather destinations in European where you can dodge the winter chill completely.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago with a rugged volcano landscape and endless coastlines.

The temperatures in winter are mild and hover around a comfortable 22°C. Rain is also uncommon during this time. As opposed to the busy summer season, the tourists thin out during winter, providing for a more relaxing retreat.

Tenerife is the largest and most popular island. It has an exciting atmosphere with plenty of shopping, dining, and nightlife options, as well as being home to some incredible hikes.

Water themed excursions, like whale watching and snorkelling and kayaking tours, aren’t hard to come by either.

Fuerteventura is the second-largest Canary. It’s a popular island for water sports and hiking. It’s my personal favourite island and I’m even considering spending winter there this year.

All the Canary Islands also offer excellent surfing opportunities. The surfing in Fuerteventura and Tenerife is simply awesome.

The Azores, Portugal

The Azores of Portugal are made up of nine major islands in the North Atlantic ocean. They’re sparsely populated and full of unspoiled, natural beauty.

The weather averages around 17°C in winter. It’s not exactly beach weather, but still very enjoyable. Activities wise, whale watching tours, hiking, and every water-themed excursion you can think of are popular with visitors.

São Miguel is the largest and most popular island. It’s the easiest to fly into and offers plenty of things to see and do.

Terceira island is the second most popular island. Beautiful natural pools line the island’s green countryside, and scenic vineyards cover the lush, volcanic soil.

Pico is one of the top islands for whale watching in the Azores. It’s also popular for avid hikers. Mount Pico dominates the landscape and offers incredible views from the top.

Seville, Spain

Seville is the capital city of the Andalusia region of southern Spain. Known for its striking architecture, Moorish heritage, Flamenco dancing culture, and abundance of tapas bars, there’s something for everyone.

Unlike the extreme temperatures produced in summer, the winter average of 17°C makes outdoor exploration very pleasant. Much of Seville is compact and walkable, especially in the city centre where many iconic buildings reside.

The Royal Alcázar of Seville is a lavish Moorish-Renaissance palace full of wonder and beauty.

The Seville Cathedral holds the title for the fourth-largest church in the world and the largest Gothic church. The well-manicured Parque de María Luisa is a public park and a nice spot to cool down on a warm day.

Athens, Greece

Athens is a wonderful year-round destination. The average temperature in winter is between 13°C and 15°C, so it never gets too cold. It’s the kind of weather that makes getting lost in the city most enjoyable.

Winter is also less busy, meaning you won’t have to battle with as many tourist crowds when exploring attractions like the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

You won’t sizzle under the sun when hiking up Mount Lycabettus, the highest point in Athens. You also probably won’t have to wait too long to get a seat at a Greek restaurant either.

Best winter destinations in Europe: Pristine Nordic Winter land

Tromso, Norway

Tromso in Norway is without a doubt one of the best European winter destinations I have visited. It’s a real winter wonderland with stunning landscapes and so many fun things to do for the whole family. It’s also one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Europe, if not in the world.

Tromso offers a big variety of family-friendly winter activities. Reindeer rides and ice igloos make you think you are in a real-life fairytale of the movie ‘Frozen’. The whole family will be excited to try dog sledding or catching a fish on a polar cruise. And what can be more special than toasting marshmallows on a bonfire while waiting for the Green Lady to show up and light up the sky every night?

What makes Tromso suitable for families who want to experience a true Arctic winter in Tromso with kids is its mild climate. It’s much warmer in Tromso in winter than you’d expect. In addition, all tours offer thermal suits in all sizes (also for kids). So you can truly enjoy being outside and not have to worry about you or your kids freezing to death.

If you are looking for a somewhat different winter break than a regular ski holiday this winter, then you cannot go wrong with visiting Tromso in Northern Norway. Here you can find more ideas for the best winter activities in Tromso.

Kemi, Finland

We would definitely say Kemi, Finland is one of the most magical places we have ever been. If you’re headed to Rovaniemi to see Santa, it is worth the hour or so drive to stay here for a few nights. Kemi is right on the frozen Baltic Sea, where you can take a ride on the world-famous Sampo IceBreaker. This is a huge ship that was used to crush the ice to allow other water vessels to get through the icy waters.

Every winter, Kemi has a huge ice castle that is completely made up of ice and snow. We had a fabulous dinner in the Ice Restaurant. Then we actually slept in one of the castle rooms which is completely made of ice! The next couple of nights, you can stay in the Seaside Glass Villas, which have 2 glass walls and a glass ceiling. This ceiling allows you to have the perfect view of the Northern Lights over the frozen sea.

Kemi offers all the winter activities you can imagine from dog sledding, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling. And further to visiting Santa at his Seaside office, meeting an elf, or chasing the Northern Lights. Kemi is definitely the hidden gem in Finland, and one of the best winter holidays in Europe you take with your family!

Rovaniemi, Finland

The best time to visit Rovaniemi is the magical winter. The city and the surrounding forest lands are covered with clean white snow that puts you in the perfect holiday mood. The Number 1 highlight of the city is the Santa Clause Village. Santa prepares here year-round for the busy holiday season, and you can visit him and his elves with your family any day. It is guaranteed fun for all kids.

The city lays on the Arctic Circle which makes it a perfect location to hunt for Northern Lights! You can check out the numerous tours that take you to one of the perfect spots outside the city. Or just try your luck observing the night sky! We sometimes go to our garden and stare at the sky mesmerized by the slowly moving colorful lights.

If you are still up for a more outdoor adventure, visit a reindeer farm and learn about the indigenous Sami culture or meet with huskies. Older kids will also enjoy snowmobile riding across the snowy forest, or ice fishing on frozen lakes and prepare the catch on fire. Snowshoeing and winter hiking are also possible in the nearby national parks. No wonder Rovaniemi makes for a great winter destination in Europe for families.

Best winter destinations in Europe: Magical Switzerland for a fairytale winter holiday

Gruyere and other Swiss magic

If you’d like to visit a fairytale destination, Switzerland is an excellent choice amongst Europe winter destinations. From beautiful Christmas markets to fun activities like sledding, learning how to ski. From taking snow-covered panoramic views, beautiful train journeys in the world and trying delicious Swiss cheese, you will have a lot of activities to choose from!

If you or your kids love chocolate, visit the Cailler Chocolate Factory and sample different kinds of chocolates and learn how they are made. Curious about Swiss cheese? A visit to a Cheese Factory will be an enriching experience for the kids. You can combine the visit to chocolate and cheese factories in Gruyere in one day. While in Gruyere, you can also combine the local food experience while commuting – by taking the Fondue train! The Fondue Train basically takes you around the Gruyere region for 3 hours, starting from Bulle. The ticket includes a fondue meal plus meringue dessert. Remember to book the tickets in advance and you can choose to aboard the train at 11:20 am or at 7:20 pm.

For anyone enthusiastic about wildlife, you might be able to spot some mountain goats or ‘Ibex‘ if you stay in a ski resort or accommodation in the mountains. Switzerland has thousands of cable cars and hiking trails, which guarantees panoramic views. On some peaks like Titlis and Glacier3000, you can also go for the Cliff Walk and take part in other snow activities. However, keep in mind that on snowy days, the visibility might be poor from the top of mountain peaks. So, it’s a good idea to ask about the visibility while buying tickets for any cable car ride. No matter where you go in Switzerland, you are bound to have a magical winter experience!

Montreux, Switzerland

Montreux is the perfect winter destination in Europe for families. If you have ever wanted a picture-perfect Christmas destination and one of the best winter city breaks in Europe, then this is your spot. Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, Montreux is a pretty destination home to the UNESCO listed Chillon Castle. It’s also just a short train ride from the snow at Rochers-de-Naye.

In December, it truly comes alive thanks to Montreux Noel, it’s a one-month Christmas celebration. The festival takes place in Montreux and its surroundings. You can easily spend a couple of days visiting all the attractions and soaking up the Christmas cheer.

One of our favorite parts was visiting Santa Claus’ House at the top of Rochers-de-Naye. Here you can play in the snow and meet the big red man himself. There is also face painting and some other activities. The train ride itself is also spectacular. Back in town, the Christmas market is a must-visit, especially in the evening. With Christmas music playing, tons of stalls, hot drinks, and even Santa Claus regularly flying over Lake Geneva, it really is the perfect way to enjoy Switzerland at this time of year.

In addition to these attractions, there is a medieval Christmas celebration at Chillon Castle. This includes many activities where you can learn about old Christmas celebrations as well as medieval times in general. Our kids especially enjoyed this. You can also visit the Elves Village to learn new crafts (like chocolate making), eat lots of food at the Lumberjack Village. Also see a stunning light show in the evenings at Fairmont le Montreux Palace. If you are visiting Europe in December, Montreux really is a great winter city break in Europe.

Jungfrau, Switzerland

If you’re looking for an Europe winter destination the whole family will love, Switzerland’s Jungfrau region is sure to deliver. With plenty of activities for both skiers and non-skiers, your biggest problem will be finding the time to do everything!

The region’s main town, Interlaken, is transformed into a winter wonderland from mid-December until mid-February when the ICE MAGIC skating experience is set up in town. A 450-meter long ice runway connects various ice rinks, giving everyone the chance to pull on some skates. Besides the ice runway, a winter market sells tempting Swiss treats.

It wouldn’t be winter in Switzerland without there being plenty of snow sports on offer and the Jungfrau region has all bases covered. At Grindelwald First, the First Flyer zip line provides plenty of fun for all ages. Strapped into a harness, you’ll be whisked 800 meters along a wire cable at speeds of up to 80 km per hour. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels have plenty of runs to choose from, whilst tobogganing, snow tubing, and curling are other popular winter activities.

Schilthorn, Switzerland. Photo credit: Pixabay

For something a little more relaxing, why not enjoy a trip to either the Jungfraujoch or Schilthorn? Train enthusiasts will love the ride to Jungfraujoch, Europe’s highest railway station. Here, at 3,454 m above sea level, you can visit an ice sculpture display and get amazing views of the Aletsch Glacier from the Sphinx Observatory. If you’re more into cable cars – and James Bond – head to the Schilthorn where the Bond movie “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” was filmed. A revolving restaurant, James Bond exhibition and superb 360-degree views of the Swiss Alps are just some of the attractions.

A number of festivals and world-class events are held in the region during winter, too. There’s the annual Lauberhorn World Cup downhill ski race, the World Snow Festival, and the International Inferno Ski Races to name a few. One thing’s for sure: you won’t run out of things to do if you visit the Jungfrau region in winter.

Best winter destinations for skiing (besides Switzerland)

Innsbruck, Austria

Innsbruck, Austria is one of the best winter city breaks in Europe that you can get. Its nickname is “The Capital of the Alps” and to see the mountains in the winter is an exceptional experience. You’ll notice that Innsbruck is encompassed by the impressive Nordkette mountain range. That mountain range provides families some of the best things to do in Innsbruck in the winter.

If you’re a skier or a snowboarder, the first thing you should do is head up the Nordkettenbahnen lifts to enjoy the mountain. When we were there it was covered in fresh powder and there were hardly any visitors. Pure bliss! Another great thing to do with families is to see the world-class ski jump, Bergisel Ski Jump (Bergiselschanze). The venue has been used in two Olympic games (1964 and 1976) and is still used every year for various events. It’s open every day of the year to visit. You can easily take the elevator up and enjoy the cafe at the top.

If you are more into history and culture there is plenty of that in Innsbruck too! One of our favorite things to do in Innsbruck is visiting the Hofkirche. This is one of those grand European Gothic churches that was built in the 1500s. It’s built in the center of Innsbruck and is almost impossible to miss on the outside. Head inside to be truly impressed! Nearby is the Imperial Palace, or Hofburg. This one was finished in 1500 under Emperor Maximilian I. It is now the third most important historic building in Austria so well worth a visit inside!

Ponte di Legno, Italy

Let me tell you why Ponte di Legno is an ideal destination for a family vacation. Ponte di Legno is a small cute mountain town in the Italian Alps in the province of Brescia.

I am so in love with this mountain destination because it has it all. I used to go there every winter since I was a teenager when my parents bought a little apartment. Every weekend I would drive all the way just to try and improve my snowboard skills, either alone, with family or friends.

It’s quite a posh town, with expensive shops and restaurants. But there is much more to it and the infrastructure keeps improving as well. There is an ice-skating platform where kids and adults love to try their skating abilities after skiing time. There are easy ski-lifts for beginners – kids who are learning how to ski or snowboard – and of course certified ski instructors to school them. Those same fields would turn into biking training camps for kids in summer.

But that’s not all. Ponte di Legno is also connected to the biggest skiing resort Tonale by a brand-new cableway. You can also enjoy stunning views of the valley while getting to your ski destination. At Tonale, you have slopes for every length and difficulty level. Also, you have school facilities for kids, besides restaurants and bars to rest from your adventure activities.

Tyrol, Austria

The Austrian Tyrol is an incredibly versatile destination for families in winter. There’s the capital of Innsbruck, with all its city comforts but with a picture-perfect historic old town against a mountain backdrop. However, spend the best family winter holidays in Tyrol in the small towns in one of the many valleys branching off from the Inn Valley.

Family-friendly ski resorts, indoor swimming complexes with spa areas, trails for sledding, ice rinks, and authentic Christmas markets all contribute to a relaxed holiday for every member of the family. A bonus is that Tyrolean winter vacations are generally more affordable compared to similar Swiss or French holidays in the Alps. Many hotels let children stay for free while ski resorts, such as the Stubai Glacier ski resort, even let the kids ski for free. And when they get tired of skiing, there is an ice cave to visit or a kindergarten to keep them occupied while mom and dad conquer the slopes.

Renting a sled and dashing through the snow on a well-groomed sled track is another favorite family activity in the Tyrol. Stopping at a rustic Alpine hut to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and traditional Austrian dessert such as Apfelstrudel or Kaiserschmarrn is the stuff memories are made of. Families who don’t like spending every day in the mountains can visit Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens or Haus Steht Kopf, an upside-down house in Terfens.

Flying into the Tyrol in winter is easy with regular flights to Innsbruck from London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Vienna. The region is also very well connected by train and bus. Traveling on ski buses is even free in many areas.

Best winter city breaks in Europe

Antwerp, Belgium

Snug. That’s the word that best describes how you’ll feel after a winter city break to Antwerp spent with family. Visit when the Kerstmarkt is in full swing and you’ll find the streets full of excited chatter among stalls packed with tasty treats and plenty of gifts. Don’t forget you’re in Belgium, the home of crispy fries, chocolate, waffles, and pancakes. Little biscuits and chocolates in the shape of a hand are the sign of the city of Antwerp.

The Fun Fair swings, literally into action, with many rides and a chance to see the city from high up via the big wheel. There’s a band playing classics like the Bear Necessities, and you’ll certainly be feeling neither worries nor strife in Antwerp. The Christmas market lines the bank of the mighty river Scheldt. Everywhere is magical with lights, including Het Steen, a castle that will make you think you’re in a real-life film. Don’t forget to steal a kiss under the mistletoe sculpture to make a wish.

Wander a short distance into the center of Antwerp. You’ll find the ice rink, with small children being pushed in little sleds and everyone pink-cheeked with laughter and excitement. There’s hot chocolate aplenty, and other treats to warm you from within. Take time to explore the Plantin-Moretus Museum, home to the oldest printing press in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Check out Rubens’ House, where he created most of his art. And marvel at the sheer beauty of Antwerp, where even the station is a work of art. Belgium is a place to make memories in winter.

Berlin, Germany

I think Berlin is definitely one of the best city breaks in Europe to visit in winter, especially for families with little ones. The weather is often cold, so why do I recommend Berlin, you may wonder? Because there are so many cool hands-on museums that are ideal to entertain children on a cold and rainy day, and are fun for grown-ups too. There’s the DDR Museum, one of the cool things to do in Berlin with kids. It details the history of the East German republic with lots of hands-on exhibits, including a real Trabant with a simulator.

Another option in the center of Berlin is the Currywurst Museum, dedicated to Germany’s favorite snack, with the opportunity to try currywurst at the end. Yet, one of the coolest things to do in Berlin for young and older people alike is the Computerspielemuseum. You can learn about computer games and play retro video games as long as you wish in this museum!

Berlin, Germany. Photo credit: Pixabay

Another wonderful reason to visit Berlin in winter is heading to the Christmas Markets found all over town. There are so many that you can choose what to visit depending on what vibe you’re after. The Winter World on Potsdamer Platz is the largest in town and includes some rides, making it especially fun for children. Another good idea in the center of Berlin is the Alexanderplatz Christmas Market, under the iconic TV Tower, with stalls from all over the world.

If you prefer something cozier and with a ‘neighborhood’ atmosphere, opt for Nikolaiviertel, a cute and cozy Christmas Market with an open-air cinema. Finally, Berlin is one of the most eco-friendly cities in the world. So it comes as no surprise that there is also an eco market – the Berlin Environmental Christmas Market near Alexanderplatz, selling creative eco-friendly gifts. If you want to know more, check out my Berlin in winter post with lots of ideas for families!

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is an incredible place to visit during winter with kids. We loved it to bits! It wasn’t as crowded as it is during summer, which is a bonus. It doesn’t really get cheaper for accommodation as you’ll need the heating for sure, but it’s worth it.

Visiting all the Harry Potter sites was one of my kids’ favorite things. Victoria Street is said to have been the inspiration to Diagon Alley; Greyfriar’s Kirkyard has many of the names in the series; and there’s The Elephant House, where JK Rowling started writing the books.

Edinburgh, Scotland. Photo credit: World Trip Diaries

The weekend markets were also a lot of fun, and they had the best Scotch Eggs in town; the Old Town is beautiful and you MUST walk the Royal Mile, as touristic as it is. Carlton Hill is an incredible place to have the best view of the city and it was all white and snowy when we were there. The Castle of Edinburgh is one of the most important castles in the UK, so do visit. Holyrood Palace is also a great place to see when it’s not in use.

You can also visit other locations around Edinburgh. Loch Ness, for instance, can be a day trip. It’ll be a long drive, but it’s so beautiful and worth it. Though my kids were very disappointed we didn’t get to see Nessie. There is Glasgow, only 40 minutes away (by train!), and a great day out. If you want to see more castles, you can visit the stunning ruins of Linlithgow. Or have a full day at Stirling Castle, another very important site in Scottish history! Yes, you could do all that during summer BUT during winter it’s less crowded and entry to the paid attractions is cheaper. Plus, it’s so much prettier when there’s a bit of snow involved.

German Xmas markets

Germany is one of the best European countries to visit in winter. While some European countries – particularly those that have warm summers – tend to almost shut down if it gets cold or icy, Germany is a country that truly embraces it. Here, the houses are warm and cozy inside as are the cafes and restaurants.

Christmas market in Germany. Photo credit: Pixabay

Germany is particularly famous for its Christmas markets, a concept that actually originated in Germany. Unsurprisingly, it is known for having some of the best Christmas markets in the world. Dortmund and Cologne hold the title for having the Christmas markets with the highest number of visitors, both attracting between 3.5 and 4 million visitors every year. These are two of the largest Christmas markets but you don’t need to travel to either to get the full experience. There are markets in every corner of Germany: in Berlin alone there are more than 70 to choose from.

As well as Glühwein and sausages, there’s plenty here to keep the whole family entertained including shopping for Christmas presents, ice skating, and buying chocolates and biscuits. Then there’s the food. German cuisine may not be world-renowned but, when it comes to hearty winter food, few countries do it better than Germany. Look out for dishes like Sauerbraten, Spätzle, Maultaschen, and of course all the different kinds of sausage-like Bratwurst and Currywurst. All of these dishes are warming and filling, and exactly what you’ll be craving on a cold winter’s day.

Nice, France

One of the best winter destinations in Europe for families is the South of France. Base yourself in Nice for a great winter city break where you can easily explore the entire Cote d’Azur. It might be cool or cold, but it will definitely be sunny with more than 300 days a year of sun.

The winter season in the French Alps is from November to April. Within 1.5 hours using local transport, you can easily reach three different ski resorts areas where you can ski, toboggan, ice skate and enjoy the fresh, crisp air. The resort of Valberg is one of the most child-friendly resorts with plenty of runs for young skiers and other family activities.

Most of the cities along the Cote d’Azur have a Christmas market in December where you can shop, ice skate, get a photo with ‘Babbo Natale’ (Santa Clause). You can sample local specialties, like cotton candy, ‘Barba Papa’ or fried Churros that you dip into warmed, melted chocolate. If it’s too cold outside, head to Monaco to the Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium where you can see thousands of fish and corals. The Aquarium is one of the oldest in the world, having opened in 1903! Children and adults love this place and it’s an excellent day out.

Then, in February, you’ll find the Nice Carnival where you can marvel at the amazing handmade floats during the regular parade. Or you can attend the ‘Bataille des Fleurs’ (battle of the flowers) and wait along the sidelines hoping that someone on the float will throw you a big bouquet of mimosas. If you are feeling capricious, buy some liquid string in a can and spray the random observer with a ton of thread and run away! We all know it’s coming! Otherwise, enjoy tossing confetti all over everyone. There’s a lot to do along the Cote d’Azur in winter.

Best warm winter destinations in Europe

Algarve, Portugal

The Algarve is one of the sunniest regions in Europe and should be considered if you are looking for a winter sun destination in Europe. During summer the temperatures usually soar above 30°C. On some days temperatures of 40°C are measured. This may be fine to take a nap in the shade on the beach but it’s not what you’re looking for if you have a more active vacation in mind.

Algarve, Portugal. Photo credit: Wapiti Travel

Planning your visit in winter gives you many advantages. With an average temperature of 16-20°C and clear blue skies, the area is much more enjoyable, certainly for an active vacation and it hardly ever rains. We visited all the main tourist attractions along the coast and hiked many kilometers along the coast and in the beautiful natural parks. We encountered a handful of tourists everywhere we went but we heard from locals that these areas are unpleasantly crowded in the summer. Most streets are narrow and most parkings are small. This adds to the charm of the area but can turn into a traffic nightmare in peak season. It is also much more pleasant to wander through the narrow picturesque streets of the charming villages without the hordes of tourists that flood this area in high season.

One more advantage is that you will be able to find some great deals on hotels and other accommodation. It may be not the right time for water sport activities in winter but the boat trips that go along the spectacular rugged coastline and inside the caves go all year round. Take a boat around 4 PM, dress warmly, and enjoy the warm colors of the sunset being cast on the cliffs during the golden hour. Algarve is definitely one of the best warm winter destinations in Europe.

Balearic Islands, Spain

I could talk for ages about why Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca, Menorca, and the smaller Balearic Islands are a great idea for a family-friendly getaway all year round. However, if I had to choose my favorite season to experience all their beauty, that would be winter. Balearic islands are on of the best warm winter destinations in Europe.

There are many reasons why you can’t go wrong with one of these Mediterranean sea-bathed micro-paradises in the low season. The mild weather of these islands makes them a perfect winter sun destination in Europe to be enjoyed. They have a couple of great Unesco recognized diving spots. Their turquoise waters are always an excellent idea, and one the kids will particularly like! The crazy tourist crowds that populate the main islands in spring and summer are gone. Therefore prices are slightly more affordable and you can enjoy them quietly, without the party-goers and queues everywhere.

If you need some guidance to choose a Balearic Island to stay for a few days or weeks, here is what the main 4 are known for. Mallorca is a great choice for city people, bikers and people in love with beaches and wine. Menorca is always a good idea if snorkeling is on your list, as well as spending a few quiet days with your family without any distractions, or unnecessary noise. Formentera is the most secluded and difficult to reach, hence its raw nature. Ibiza, once the youngster crowds are gone, is excellent for sunset and hippie culture lovers. Check out my article on the Balearic Islands in winter.

Canary Islands, Spain

If you’re looking for a warm winter destination in Europe, the Canary Islands in Spain is a great option. Located in the Atlantic ocean south-west from the Spanish coast the islands have a comfortable climate – warm in winter with average day temperatures between 17°C and 21°C.

There are 7 islands that form the archipelago: Tenerife – the most popular and populated island, Gran Canaria – second most popular island, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera – the greenest island and El Hierro – the smallest island. Despite their proximity, each island has a different landscape and vegetation. You can base yourself on one island and explore the nearby islands by doing day trip. Or stay on different islands for a couple of days each. The Canary Islands have a good connection with the mainland; there are several flights from different cities in Spain and Europe. To move between the islands you can use local ferries that connect the nearby islands.

Tenerife is probably one of the best islands for families with small children. There are nice sandy beaches, shallow water entrances, sandy bottom and relatively flat sea (at the most popular beaches for swimming). The main attraction to visit with kids on Tenerife is Loro park. It has a big area divided into several zones where you can see dolphins, orcas, penguins, parrots, seals, and more. The park is a great place to come with the whole family for a day.

If your kids are old enough and like hikin,g we’d recommend spending a couple of days on La Gomera – the greenest island of the archipelago. There are many hiking trails that connect different parts of the island; through banana plantations, National parks and along the sea with some stunning lookouts. It’s a real paradise for nature and trekking lovers. If you like an adventure – go to Gran Canaria or Lanzarote where you can explore some old volcano craters and admire the incredible landscape of the islands. Whatever island you choose there will be plenty of accommodation options and activities to keep busy the whole family.

Crete, Greece

If you are looking for a winter sun destination in Europe away from the crowds but still warm, think about visiting Crete in Greece. A wonderful Mediterranean island with a lot of outdoor activities that you can do year-round including the beach.

If you want something charming and historic, check out the harbor scene and old town of Chania. This old town with its narrow streets and buildings with Venetian charm was established in the early 14th century. For an even more historic touring, visit Knossos – the largest archaeological site with ruins and some reconstructed areas with murals depicting the sophisticated and colorful lifestyle of the early Minoan civilization on the island. If you are more of an outdoor adventurer, then you can hike. Or go canyoning, mountain climbing and even caving in the rugged and gorgeous landscapes and explore fantastic natural environments around the island. Foodies will love the amazing wine grown on the island, fresh seafood, local cheese, olive oil, and locally grown produce and meats that inspire regional Greek and Cretan specialties.

If outdoor adventure is not enough fun for your kids, then check out Aquaworld in Hersonisos, walk with dinosaurs at Dinosauria Park, explore the underground at Dikteon cave. Or how about a water park fun at Limnoupolis just outside Chania town? These kid-friendly venues are perfect to do with children in mind.

Check out my post on 20 pictures of Crete to inspire you to visit this wonderful island.

Best Eastern Europe winter destinations

Krakow, Poland

Krakow is a wonderful city for families to visit in winter and makes for one of the best Eastern Europe winter destinations. The Old Town center of the city has stunningly beautiful architecture. It is the site of a Christmas market that runs from the end of November. There are beautiful lights and Christmas trees that will delight children. And stalls with traditional handmade toys and local food like polish dumplings, bagels, grilled cheese, gingerbread and lots of different kinds of sweets. For adults, there’s mulled wine and hot beer! Also, consider taking a horse and carriage ride around the main square and through the old town.

Around the rest of the city, you have Wawel Castle, including the legend of the Wawel Dragon and the Dragon’s Den. On a particularly cold day, head indoors to one of Krakow’s numerous museums, including the Aviation Museum or the Museum of Municipal Engineering. Either is great for children who love planes and cars as they get to see both old and modern up close. For older children, visit the museum in Oskar Schindler’s Factory for the history of Krakow throughout the tumultuous World War II period.

Outside of town are the Wieliczka Salt Mines, where you can take an underground tour to see the mines and beautiful sculptures made of salt. Keep in mind it can get chilly down there and no strollers are allowed. The tour is also 3 hours with no way to leave early, so consider whether your children are up for it. Visiting Eastern Europe in winter isn’t high on many people’s list, but it’s a quieter time of year and as long as you wrap up warm you’ll all enjoy it!

Roznov, Czech Republic

Roznov is one of the loveliest places to visit in the Czech Republic, especially for families and even during the winter. This lovely small town is located around 4 hours drive from Prague. It is more off-the-beaten-path compared to other places in the country. It makes for a good options amongst Eastern Europe winter destinations. It’s got a nice, local vibe, and it’s a nice change after the busy capital and the international Brno.

One of the nicest places to visit in Roznov is the Wallachian Open Air Museum, founded in 1925 with the intent to move here and thus re-create a perfect Wallachian style village. It is a lovely place to explore to learn more about the history and traditional way of life of the country. Another thing that is nice to do in Roznov is the beer spa. It’s located in a microbrewery and there are many treatments that are all beer-based. Here, by the way, the beer is excellent and there are a fabulous restaurant and a nice pub, as well as a tiny but delicious chocolaterie.

Finally, Roznov gives easy access to Pustevny, a beautiful mountain station that is pleasant to visit even when covered in snow. It can be reached by cable car from Trojanovice, which is at around 15 minutes’ drive from Roznov. Once up in Pustevny, there are plenty of lovely cafés to sit around enjoy a traditional meal and have a hot drink to keep the cold away. Outside, it is pleasant to take a walk to admire the quirky looking buildings. You can easily reach places of interest such as the statue of Radegast in Radhost from the chair lift.

Vilnius, Lithuania

For a lesser popular winter city break in Europe, I highly suggest Vilnius, Lithuania. What many family travelers don’t know is that this little country – sandwiched between Russia and Poland – is fun and a very affordable place for your next winter trip. In Vilnius, you can take your family to Trakai Castle, a castle that stands in the middle of a lake. During winter, the temperature drops really low that can cause the lake to freeze. Once it’s frozen enough, the castle staff let the tourist know that they can safely walk on the frozen ice and reach the Trakai Castle, which is cool!

During the day, you can go for a quick bike ride around the city for free. You can rent the city bikes without any charge as long as you register online. Right at the Old Town, you can visit the tower on the top of the hill with an amazing view of the city. A bike station is at the bottom of it which means you can get there fast, easy, and for free.

Lithuania is probably one of the most affordable countries in Europe. It is a great spot amongst Eastern Europe winter destinations. You can find private rooms in the hotels or hostels for as low as $30 which is already well-located in the old town. A bus ride is only 1 euro. Spend 25 euro in Lithuania to great winter food for a family of 4. If you have more time in Lithuania, you can enjoy the top winter activity for way cheaper than Switzerland, France, or Italy.

Warsaw, Poland

If you are looking for a great Eastern Europe winter destination, we’d suggest checking out Poland. From its rich history to tasty wintertime treats and plenty of activities, Warsaw should absolutely be on a family’s Eastern Europe itinerary in the winter season!

You might think that the harsh Polish winter puts a damper on activities. In reality, the city comes alive when the snow starts to fall. In Warsaw’s Old Town, you’ll find the Market Square hustling and bustling with life. A signature activity is an ice skating at the rink in the middle of the Old Town. Couples, solo skaters, and families lace up their skates for a few laps. Skate rentals are close by for a fee, along with hot beverages like mulled wine and other hot treats.

Simply walking around the Old Town is a treat in the winter. The alleyways between the colorful buildings echo with accordion players. The cobblestone slowly gets covered in a thin white layer of snow. There are lots of places to stop at for a hot coffee, tea, or a cup of hot chocolate.

If the cold is too much, feel free to head back into the modern city to check out the Palace of Culture and Science. Built-in 1955, the Palace is the tallest building in Poland and has a variety of fun functions. For families, there are cinema screens, two museums, and a swimming pool inside, among other attractions.

Head over to the Palace and you might get caught up in the excitement outside. This is because, in the winter, the Palace grounds are home to the Warsaw Christmas Market. This massive layout of buildings and attractions even has a Ferris wheel to ride! From classic Christmas Market treats to art and craft stalls, there is no shortage of entertainment for the whole family.

Zakopane, Poland

Winter in Europe is all about snow-covered peaks and festive decorations turning grey days into colorful delights. Nevertheless, winter in Europe can also be expensive and crowded, as everyone tends to go to the same well-known regions. Zakopane, in the south of Poland, is the perfect winter city break in Europe. If you’re looking for a less cliched, yet amazing place to visit with kids, Zakopane hits the spot.

Zakopane, Poland. Photo credit: Two Find A Way

Located at the foot of the Tatra mountains, it is a heaven for nature and winter lovers. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and it is filled to the brim with the season’s best spirit. There are plenty of activities to do with kids: from learning to ski, snowboard to snow tobogganing and more. Access to stunning mountain views is easy due to comfortable and fun cable cars, the most famous are Gubalowka and Kasprowy Wierch. If you are looking for indoor activities you also won’t be disappointed. There’s everything from an Aqua Park to an Upside Down House. If you have more time in the region, there are plenty of day trips to take and nearby wonders to explore.

Even though Zakopane is not one of the best-known regions in Europe, it makes for a good Eastern Europe winter destination. It receives quite a lot of tourism from nearby areas. So there are plenty of accommodation options, a diversified set of restaurants, and it is easy to get around. The fact that it is relatively a well-kept secret for the rest of the world means that the town is very affordable. Which is always a plus, and especially when you’re traveling with kids.

Next Winter In Europe? The 20 Best Christmas Destinations For 2021

Basel, Switzerland has been chosen as the Best 2021 European Christmas Destination 2021.

EBD

Forget 2020. Although, Covid or not, Christmas is here, the fun of fairs and markets is not with us this year and it’s impossible to ignore that, along with pine trees aromas, there’s coronavirus in the air.

Better to look ahead to presumably happier times and start planning the next Christmas vacation.

In an effort to spread a message of hope and encouragement and to help travelers with their vacation planning for next year, the European Best Destination organization(EBD) invited people from all over the world to vote for the Christmas markets of their dreams.

Over 100,000 travelers from 121 countries answered the question: “Where would you like to spend Christmas in Europe in 2021, (health situation permitting)?”

Some 66% of the voters are located in Europe and 34% from other countries, mainly the U.S., Canada, Australia and China.

Most of the Christmas markets and other traditional celebrations in Europe were cancelled this year due to the epidemic, with disastrous effects for most of the people and organizations involved.

The ‘must-see’ Christmas destinations in 2021

The winner for 2021 Best European Christmas Market was a surprise because it’s the first time that a Christmas market located in that country has won the title.

That market? Basel, Switzerland. Following it, the next 19 Christmas markets chosen by travelers for the title of ‘European Best Christmas Markets 2021’ are: Bath, Brussels, Bruges, Budapest, Dresden, Edinburgh, Govone, Madeira, Malaga, Manchester, Nuremberg, Poznan, Prague, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Tallinn, Tbilisi, Trier, Vienna and Vilnius.

Those destinations will be promoted throughout the year to millions of travelers and authorized to display the title “Best European Christmas Markets.”

Opening dates: November 25 to December 23, 2021

Saving Christmas Markets
According to EBD, Christmas markets originally developed in Germany and Alsace, France, and over the past 20 years have spread throughout Europe: “In addition to supporting artisans, confectioners and traders, they attract travelers with an ever-richer offer that can include concerts, decorations, cultural programs, ice rinks and shows. ”

By attracting travelers during months with low occupancy rate (November, December, January), EBD explains, “they allow the development of jobs throughout the year and foster the sustainable development of tourism in Europe. These events help transform seasonal jobs into full-time jobs in hotels, restaurants, bakeries, events planning and other economic sectors.”

The increase in the Christmas offer also allows travelers to avoid saturating historic destinations and to explore new ones.

European Best Destinations is a travel website dedicated to promoting culture and tourism in Europe in partnership with more than 350 European tourist offices and the European Commission’s EDEN network dedicated to promote sustainable tourism.

Andorra de Vella, Andorra
Andorra is a tiny country sandwiched between Spain and France. It’s located in the gorgeous Pyrenees mountain range and as a microstate only has 85,000 inhabitants. Yet only one third are actually residing there.

While you can definitely stay here for a few days, it also makes for a great day trip Barcelona. It takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to get there, so if you leave early enough you can get a ski-in and head back all in one day.

Vienna, Austria
As the sun sets and the Christmas lights come on, you can experience Vienna’s most romantic Christmas market. There is no shortage of traditional Austrian crafts and Christmas decorations in the capital city.

Located in the shadow of the Rathaus is Vienna’s largest Christmas market. In addition to the colorful stalls filled with beautiful, unique Christmas ornaments, you will also find an extensive menu of holiday punch options and numerous sweet and savory treats to try.

With a children’s craft area, weekend choir performances, and ice-skating, there’s something to entertain everyone at Vienna’s most centrally located Christmas market.

Vienna Christmas Markets

If you like your Christmas market with a side of art, head to Belvedere Schloss. You’ll spend your day covering an art collection that covers the Middle Ages to contemporary pieces.

If it is history that you’re looking for, head to Schloss Schonbrunn and stay for the Christmas market.

Schonbrunn Palace was transformed from a hunting lodge into a stunning Baroque summer residence in the 18th century.

Brussels, Belgium
The colder months are a lovely time to visit Brussels, the capital city of Belgium. The bars are welcoming, food is hearty, and the streets twinkle in fairy lights. Despite the cold, there are enough activities to keep you busy, most of which are very cozy, if not romantic!

In the center of Brussels, you’ll find multiple authentic ‘brown cafés’ with a large beer menu. Order a Belgian Trappist beer which instantly helps to beat the cold. Beware, as most Belgian beers are quite strong.

Tucked away in a little alley, you’ll find the bar Toone, which also has a fireplace and a cat. As for the food, buy some street food like fries or waffles.

If you prefer not to eat outside, head to the restaurant Restobières which has a very original menu: all the dishes are prepared with beer. It can’t get more Belgian, right? 😉

Brussels in Winter

In winter, Brussels hosts a yearly Christmas market called ‘Plaisir d’Hiver’. It’s the opportunity to marvel at the beautifully decorated Christmas stalls, practice your twirls on the ice skating rink and try some ‘jenever’. That’s a typical Belgian liquor which is available in innumerable different flavors.

Make sure to also take a spin in the Ferris wheel for a sweeping view over the center of Brussels.

Another great Winter event is Bright Brussels when light installations turn the center into a dreamy fairytale place. Follow the recommended itinerary and explore Brussels’ historical landmarks in a way you’d never seen before.

There’s also a lesser-known light festival called ‘Citizen Lights’ which takes place in the commune of Schaerbeek. This one is smaller and more authentic because it’s mainly frequented by locals and not overrun by tourists. And the good news is that both events are free things to do in Brussels

Ostend/Oostende, Belgium
Ostend is in the northwest corner of Belgium. It is known for its white sandy beach and turquoise waters. Unlike the well known Brussels, Ostend is a calm and relaxing atmosphere at a slower pace.

Since Belgium has a mild winter with low precipitation, Ostend will make a perfect beach vacation to escape the cold winter freeze.

Ostend Belgium Best Winter Destinations in Europe

Since tourist traffic is low in the winter months, you can enjoy Ostend like a real locale. There are several winter activities Ostend has to offer depending on your taste and lifestyle and the time you travel.

Beach: If you visit Ostend in the later winter months (towards spring) or later fall months (starting winter), this will still be a viable option. You will love the ocean views, and the sunsets are spectacular.

Christmas Market: You have to experience the Christmas Market in Leopoldpark. It is well decorated with lights and music to add a festive atmosphere.

Winter Ice Rink: Ostend has the biggest winter ice rink in Belgium. It is approximately 1,000 square meters or 10,500 square feet. With over 50 stands to explore, come prepared to spend all day going from stand to stand.

Zagreb, Croatia
Although Croatia is well known for its beaches and beautiful Adriatic coast, its capital Zagreb is a lovely less known winter destination to visit. It became quite famous lately as a home to the best European Christmas market for three years in a row.

With many smaller markets and events happening around the city center, there is so much to do during December there.

Food is especially good at the Christmas market, so be sure to explore it during your stay. The calendar with all the events and concerts could be found at the Zagreb Advent official website.

Located just next to the Medvednica Mountain, Zagreb is a charming destination for some skiing, as well. A popular event happening at the beginning of January is the Snow Queen Trophy when you can enjoy some mulled wine while watching some of the best world skiers competing. If there is enough snow, you can also go and ski yourself there.

If you would like to buy a local souvenir that will remind you of your winter holidays, get yourself a Licitar heart. A small red heart initially made of gingerbread is something people would give to their loved ones back in the old days. However, it’s used as a Christmas tree decoration in Zagreb today, and you’re going to see it on many large Christmas trees around the city.

Prague, Czech Republic
The stunning capital of the Czech Republic – Prague – turns into a gorgeous haven during winters. The colorful rooftops and the Vltava River sprinkled with snow make for a dreamy vacation and that’s why it is one of the best winter destinations in Europe to visit for Christmas markets, beer, and sightseeing.

Prague’s central area – the old town market square turns into an enchanting beauty – like out of a fairytale. Although it’s winter, you can still partake in walking tours to learn about Prague’s history and admire the Astronomical Clock and other attractions.

Old Town Square Prague’s Christmas Markets

While you are at it, stroll the Christmas Markets at the Old Town Square and the Wenceslas Square. Buy traditional trinkets and wooden toys to take back home and savor delicious barbecued pork and sugar-coated chimney cake or ‘tradelnik. Sip some hot cocoa and biscuit as you walk the market.

Or Svařák– a Czech mulled wine with lemon and citrus flavors.

BOOK: Tour Prague Christmas Markets with a local

Christmas Markets in Prague last from the end of November to the first week of January. There are Christmas markets at Castle Hill as well.

Prague Winter Morning

Other then the Christmas markets, Prague in winter is a delight as you can still enjoy the city’s attractions like walking the Charles Bridge and soaking in amazing views from its tower, taking a quick trip to the Prague Castle and wandering through the Golden Lane and museums and greeting the swans at the Vltava River banks.

Copenhagen, Denmark
There’s a lot to do in Copenhagen winters besides skiing. Danish Christmas markets are remarkable. The gorgeous decorations line the paths between shops selling ornaments, gifts, food, and drink.

The best Christmas market is in Kongens Nytorv. It’s one of the largest in Copenhagen and across from The Hotel D’Angleterre. The facade of this gorgeous hotel is turned into an advent calendar for the Christmas season. The magic is done through LCD screens placed over the windows.

Winter in Copenhagen

A festive visit to the Christmas markets in Copenhagen is best completed with a warm cup for gløgg. Gløgg is mulled wine, or cider that is spiced and served hot with raisins, nuts, and cinnamon stirred in. You drink the contents and then eat the soaked foods with a spoon. It’s the perfect way to stay cozy in the cold weather.

Tivoli Gardens, the famous Danish amusement park, is beautiful in the winter. It’s reopened for the Christmas season and decked out with bright Christmas lights and other decorations.

Christmas in Copenhagen Best Winter Destinations in Europe

One of the highlights is seeing the Crazy Christmas Cabaret inside of Tivoli Gardens. It’s a crowd-pleaser every year and the only show performed in English for the whole year.

Denmark is a very flat country, but they’ve improvised to bring indoor skiing to Copenhagen. Opening later this year, the Amager Bakke power plant will open Copenhill. This will be an indoor hill built along above the chimney of the power plant that is used as a skiing hill.

The Danes think of everything! Copenhill is one more reason to visit Copenhagen for winter – you won’t miss out on skiing.

Colmar, France
Colmar in France is a wonderful place to spend Christmas. It is in the Alsace region of France on the border of Germany. In fact, Colmar has gone back and forth between French and German control since the 1870s. That is why Colmar has such a German feel and German architecture.

The town is charming at any time of year due to its wooden framing and pastel-colored walls. But it really shines at Christmas time when it puts on its yuletide best.

Winter and Christmas in Colmar France

Small alleyways have Christmas scenes, individual homes seem to be festooned with greenery, and large flocked trees are on every corner. But the storefronts are the most amazing -decorate with large cookies, bows, gifts, greenery, stuffed animals, and lights. Everything is large and boisterous!

Christmas in Colmar France

There is a lot of variety in the wares they sell at the Christmas markets, from perfumes, homemade Nutella, ornaments, leatherwork, jewelry, roasted nuts, nougat, toys, lights, and more.

The markets are in plazas across the city. The Children’s Christmas Market in “Little Venice” is a lovely market with mechanical horse rides that will delight your kids or even kids at heart. There is also a spot to mail letters to Santa in the Children’s market.

If you get hungry while wandering through the markets, grab a bretzel (pretzel) baked in cheese, an assortment of bredel (a variety of tiny cookies), or a brioche man (kind of link our gingerbread men). There are lots of places to stop and sit while enjoying a treat amid the festive goings-on.

Paris, France
‘Paris always a good idea’. This statement and the sentiment behind it is so true. Paris, the capital city of France is stunning at any time of the year and hence it deserves a mention in our list of best winter destinations in Europe.

Paris experiences moderate winter temperatures with snow. Typical winter months are from late November to late February. When the city is covered in white snow, the pretty red decorations during Christmas, New Years, and Valentine’s Day make up it.

Paris – Best Europe City Breaks in Winter

So here is what you can expect in Paris in winter. Shoppers will LOVE the season. Window shoppers and people-watchers too. Stroll Champs Elysees for some eye candy – from high-end retail, luxury brands to the affordable.

Churches are beautifully decorated for Christmas, so pay a visit to a church of your choice. Ensure you check their website for mass timings.

When the temperature drops outside, it’s time for nice dinners. Reserve a place overlooking the Parisian highlights like a dinner cruise on the river Seine. Or go for gold and book for dinner at the Eiffel Tower, with the entire city of Paris underneath your feet.

Parisian Winter

Paris also boasts of natural ice rinks where you can skate for free. The most popular one is in the Hotel de Ville.  Do definitely take advantage of that. Find all hotels in Paris – perfect for first-timers.

All major tourist attractions are open during the winter months in Paris. So explore the Louvre Museum at your pace, the Grand Palais, the underground tunnels at Catacombs of Paris, and more. Winter is sort of offseason, so you won’t see a huge line-up in regular sightseeing attractions in Paris.

Neuschwanstein Castle – Fussen, Germany
The Neuschwanstein castle is a must-see location no matter the time of year, but there’s something even more magical about this castle in the winter! This is the castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland and it’s easy to see why.

Neuschwanstein Castle

You can visit the castle from Munich to Neuschwanstein for about $17 each way per person. However, there are only a few buses each week (usually just Saturday and Sunday) that will take you directly to Schwangau Neuschwanstein. Or book a day tour.

READ: Day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich and ways to get there

You can stay at the foot of the Neuschwanstein Castle for only $85- $140 a night at Romantic-Pension Albrecht on Booking. com! It comes with a free breakfast, but book as far in advance as you can as it gets filled up quickly!

From there you can easily walk to both castles (yes, there’s more than one castle in this area!): the Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein.

One downside about visiting in the winter is that the Marienbrucke bridge with the best viewpoint of the castle is closed. However, if you are feeling rebellious, you can still head up to the area and find a viewpoint of your own like we did!

If you’d like to go inside the castle, you can book in advance online for €13. It must be at least 2 days in advance and they are known to sell out, so book early!

With any extra time, you can visit the Hohenschwangau castle and even hop over to Fussen which is an adorable town with its own castle as well!

Stuttgart, Germany
Germany’s Christmas markets are known worldwide for the authentic cultural experience they provide to locals and visitors alike. Germany has thousands of them all over the country. One particularly great Christmas market is the Stuttgart Weihnachtsmarkt.

Located in the heart of the city, the market attracts millions of visitors every year and has a variety of activities, food, and shops catering to every age group.

The Weihnachtsmarkt begins in late November and ends right before Christmas.  For the entire month of December, it attracts not only locals but people from all over the world.

Stuttgart Christmas Market

The Stuttgart Christmas market is among the largest in the country.  Nearly 300 different booths adorn two different squares, both connected to form one large market.  There are awards given to the most beautiful stall in the market every year and the stall owners work hard to decorate their booths ornately.

The market is wonderful for everyone from singles to families.  There is a large ice rink where ice skates can be rented as well as plush animals for smaller children. A small steam train is great for children and families and rides around a beautiful miniature village display. Several carnival-type rides are also out for small children.

There are a variety of food booths that have food ranging from pizza, traditional bratwurst, currywurst, and spätzle to some American favorites such as pork burgers and even Flammkuchen, a rolled-out dough baked with a crème sauce and topped with vegetables or meats.

The shopping booths are decorated beautifully with lights, animal displays, and German décor. Many shops sell original German items, cuckoo clocks, wooden items, Christmas ornaments, household items, children’s toys, candles, and many different kinds of sweets.

Visitors can spend hours wandering the booths and will no doubt find something they will certainly purchase. Be sure to try gluhwein, a warmed up spiced wine, a staple at German Christmas markets.

If you’re staying more than a day, Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin is a fantastic hotel to stay at during your time in Stuttgart.

Budapest, Hungary
During the holiday season, Budapest fills with the Christmas vibe. The Hungarian capital was also voted the most affordable Christmas Market destination in Europe. Two markets in Budapest that you definitely should not miss:

The biggest Christmas Market is held at Vörösmarty Square. This is the most popular fair in Budapest, right in the city center. There are around 100 stalls set up and live programs entertain the Christmas crowd from the main stage every afternoon.

Apart from the best-known festive fair on Vörösmarty Square, the city has a fabulous market right in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica. This market has two unique features: a light show, projected on the building of the Basilica itself, coordinated with music, and a skating rink in the center of the square.

Christmas Market in front of St. Stephen Basilica

Each of the Christmas markets is famous for its unique, high-quality craft products, such as handmade chocolate bonbons, leather gloves, knitted scarves, dried fruits, and herbs.

BOOK: Walking tour of Christmas Markets in Budapest

Christmas markets are also a paradise for foodies! Try as many delicious, authentic Hungarian dishes as you can, the memory of the tastes will stay with you I promise. Try stuffed cabbage, goulash, grilled sausages and meats with mulled wines, craft beers, or hot tea.

Be sure to try our sweets, too! “Beigli” this folded pastry stuffed with walnut or poppy seed is Hungarian Christmas itself. Buy just a slice of a whole loaf and consume it with the wine of a cup of milk.

There are some other sweets you should not miss: “Mézeskalács” is a lightweight type of gingerbread that comes in cute shapes and such detailed decorations that you might not want to bite in them.

“Szaloncukor” is a chocolate-coated soft candy. We decorate our Christmas trees with them so actually, they are edible Christmas decorations! 🙂

Thermal baths are bliss in wintertime. Visit Szechenyi Baths or Gellért Baths and enjoy the hot spring pools. Get an entry ticket to Szechenyi Baths

Enjoy a great cruise on the Danube as the winter sights are beautiful during a night boat tour.

The Ice Rink in Budapest City Park is a must for winter sports lovers. Rent a pair of skates to glide in front of Vajdahunyad Castle.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland
Blue Lagoon is a beautiful geothermal spa in Iceland. Its surreal layout, milky blue water, and relaxing atmosphere make it one of the best things to do in Iceland in December.

Located only 20 minutes from the airport, you will arrive in a secluded area with a wooden path that led towards the hotel in Blue Lagoon.

The moment you submerge inside the pool, you will feel magic! The water is warm enough to create a comfortable contrast to the chilly weather. Sometimes with snow falling, the tiny icy droplets will soothe and melt into your skin.

You will be totally mesmerized by the ambiance at the Blue Lagoon in winter. Without a doubt, it should be on everyone’s bucket list in the winter.

Reykavik, Iceland
Iceland in Winter is amazing. Strangely we had very little snow in Reyjkavik. What we had instead were fabulous skies, fairytale landscapes, and lots of swimming in warm water.

The landscapes and skyscapes of Iceland invite cliches and superlatives like nowhere else. Ferocious freezing breakers crash onto glistening black basalt. Just across the road, waterfalls tumble down hundreds of feet over mossy cliffs from Europe’s largest glacier.

Overhead the sky paints a spectrum lifted from Disney unicorns. Make the most of that light, because only four short hours from the day’s beautiful sunrise, comes an equally stunning sunset.

Iceland in Winter

Touristic highlights with magical names sit about this landscape within reasonable driving times. Shining elephantine ice diamonds festoon a glistening black beach at Breiðamerkursandur.

The birthplace of the earth’s longest-running parliament sits between two moving cliffs at Þingvellir. And every second of every day, 100 tons of water cascades 30 meters through a frozen wonderland at Gullfoss.

Spanning two separate tectonic plates, Iceland’s geology is still forming every day. And since it sits under freezing skies with its feet in the warm gulf stream, its climate is even more fluid.

Iceland in Winter

Iceland creates its own stories of the world. It was the spring point for the western discovery of the American continent five hundred years before Columbus. Its language has been almost unchanged in the millennium since that day.

Why is winter the best season to visit Iceland? Two words can answer this: Aurora Borealis. And those Trolls and the Cat? Santa doesn’t visit Iceland, so make sure you leave gifts on your windowsill for the thirteen fearsome sons of Gryla before Christmas.

Dublin, Ireland
Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is probably not at the top of your list when you think of European Christmas destinations. Dublin in December will pleasantly surprise you!

The dark winter days are enlightened by an overload of Christmas sparkle, everywhere you look.

Best Winter City Breaks – Dublin

Many stores and attractions deck out for the holidays. For example, the Guinness Storehouse, a perfect indoor activity in winter, has done a really good job of combining the local black drink with holiday cheer. You can shop for Guinness related Christmas ornaments or pick a gift for your loved ones while taking their tour.

Dublin is gifted with many indoor malls and they offer perfect holiday shopping opportunities as well. But the best thing in Dublin must be pub life. Hopping from bar to bar, tasting local specialties, is a year-round fun activity to do in Dublin. But in winter, it becomes especially cozy and comfortable.

Best Winter City Breaks – Dublin

Each pub is decorated with Christmas lights and you feel right at home. Some pubs even offer a Christmas menu throughout the whole month of December.

Another great thing about Dublin over Christmas is the people of Dublin. When you travel during the holiday season, you might miss your family or that warm cozy feeling from home. But Dublin makes up for it and then some.

The people of Dublin are so warm and welcoming, you’ll forget any worries. Whether you need directions on the street or a friendly face to talk to in the pub, the people of Dublin are there for you over Christmas.

Southern Ireland
Unlike many countries in Europe, winters in Ireland are usually not too cold and snow is mostly limited to the occasional dusting. This makes Ireland one of the best winter destinations in Europe for magical winter hikes, especially on clear, frosty days.

Nights, on the other hand, are great for viewing the Northern Lights and for stargazing.

If you are looking for a gem of a mountain to hike, then look no further than Diamond Hill in County Galway.

All three of the well-marked routes on this mountain offer stunning vistas of the dramatic landscape of Connemara National Park with views of Kylemore Abbey, the Twelve Bens mountain range and the rugged Atlantic coastline. In snow, the beauty of this winter wonderland is truly breathtaking!

Ireland Winter Hikes

Torc Mountain in Killarney National Park is a particularly enjoyable hike that offers incredible birds-eye views of some of Ireland’s most magnificent scenery including the Lakes of Killarney, the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and the Dingle Peninsula. While you are in the area, don’t forget to check out the nearby Torc Waterfall too!

On a cold, crisp winter day, the beauty and stillness of Glendalough in Wicklow National Park are simply spellbinding. This idyllic location is also the site of a monastic settlement founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century.

The White Trail (Spinc and Glenealo Valley) is a superb, but strenuous loop walk offering rewarding views of the lakes and valley below.

Ireland may not be the first place you think of when it comes to viewing the Northern Lights, but the remote Inishowen Peninsula on the Wild Atlantic Way in County Donegal is a great destination for viewing this marvelous natural phenomenon. This northerly location experiences little light pollution, so when the weather and solar wind conditions are right, it is an excellent place to watch this awe-inspiring spectacle.

There is always a level of unpredictability, as the Northern Lights cannot be precisely forecast in advance, but even if you miss the Northern Lights, the dark sky of the Inishowen Peninsula offers excellent star-gazing too.

Vaduz, Liechtenstein
Lichtenstein is a very small and very beautiful country nestled between Austria and Switzerland, amongst some very big mountain ranges above the Rhine. Lichtenstein is one of the smallest countries in the world and as a result, it often goes unconsidered in people’s travel planning.

A trip to Liechtenstein in winter has been one of the most magical, fun, exciting, and surprising countries to visit in Europe.

Arriving in Liechtenstein’s capital city, Vaduz was spectacular.

Tobogganing in Liechtenstein

If you are traveling on a budget, this is a great place. We had no great plans to be too adventurous by hiring lots of snow-sport gear, but we really didn’t need to. We literally walked into the main street and in our wanders, we found a shop to hire toboggans. We followed the lead of a nun in her robe, who came flying down a toboggan run.

We had hours of fun tobogganing down slopes in Vaduz, not only were we exhausted from the number of times we walked up the hill, but also from the number of crashes and from laughing so much. People hired toboggans in Vaduz like people hire bikes to cycle around Melbourne – it was just the norm and such a memorable experience.

Everything in Vaduz is walkable, easy to negotiate and any trips outside are accessible by bus. Do yourself a favor and add Liechtenstein to your bucket list – it truly is a beautiful country with so many great opportunities on offer.

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is a magical city year-round and so it makes it to our list of Best Winter Destinations in Europe. Throughout the year, Amsterdam is full of exciting activities that are unique and diverse in its offerings. However, during the winter months, Amsterdam attracts fewer tourists; therefore, the city is less busy and more enjoyable.

One exciting thing about Amsterdam is that in the winter months it rarely snows or goes below 0 degrees. Despite being pretty far North, winter temperatures stay around 3 degrees. However, the air in Amsterdam feels damp in the winter and has a lingering chill to it, so if you come in the winter, be sure to bundle up.

Amsterdam light festival

The best event Amsterdam hosts which draws in multiple visitors for winter vacations is The Amsterdam Light Festival. Amsterdam Light Festival takes place for 53 days during the winter months and transforms Amsterdam’s canals and streets with memorizing light installations.

This spectacular winter art exhibition runs from late November to mid-January with 30 of the best art installations showcased out of the hundreds of submissions. The art installations can be admired by foot or bike, but the best way is by boat.

The light festival illuminates the entire city center with a whimsical feel and exploring it can be done on your own or by tour.

Amsterdam light festival

A boat tour done via a festival partner is a great way to see all the installations and the boat provides a unique and fun perspective. However, walking around the city and viewing them on your own is also brilliant.

If you check out the IAmsterdam page before your journey you can even get a map, so you know where to go. On your own, you can also stop at one of the many Amsterdam cafes and walk with a warm drink.

Despite Amsterdam’s chilly weather, it does offer much beauty in the winter months. Heading to Amsterdam for winter and checking out the Amsterdam Light Festival will result in an experience like no other.

Arctic Cruise, Norway
The ultimate way to explore Arctic Norway and to witness the eerie beauty of the Aurora Borealis is on board a Northern lights cruise in Norway. December was the perfect time of year for experiencing polar nights, whale filled fjords, and countless winter activities.

Depart from Andalsnes, the mountaineering capital of Norway. Idyllically located in the valley of Romsdal, by the mouth of the river Rauma, the small, colorful town is nestled in between fjords and dramatic mountains.

Arctic Cruise in Norway

Tromso, the gateway to the Arctic is the next stop. Popular amongst tourists, it is where nature and culture go hand in hand. Winter activities such as snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, cross country skiing, ice fishing, and reindeer sledding were all available.

Alta, dubbed “the town of the Northern Lights” is a delightful stop. It lies well above the Arctic Circle at 70 degrees north latitude. Stay here to chase down Mother Nature’s elusive light show.

You can also join the Northern lights tour and check off the Northern Lights from the Europe bucket list.

The final stop was at Stavanger, located in the south-western corner of Norway. The cruise ship docked in the charming city center, just a short stroll away from Stavanger Cathedral.

Lysefjord and the iconic Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) were just an hour’s boat trip away, so join in an excursion to explore the area and try out Norwegian waffles!

Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw’s annual Christmas Market in the Old Town is a great way to sample regional delicacies from across Poland and get a glimpse of some national holiday traditions.

Dozens of wooden stalls are set up in the Castle Square, near the Royal Castle, which was all rebuilt in meticulous detail after the World War II bombings. A lit Christmas tree stands on display in front of the castle and the mood is always festive and cheery.

Warsaw-Christmas Market

At this market, you can find oscypek, a smoked cheese made from sheep’s milk and salt traditionally made in southern Poland’s Carpathian Mountains. Thick woolen socks, hats, and mittens from that region are also popular as temperatures dip below zero and often include heavy snowfall.

Poland is known across Europe for its handmade glass Christmas ornaments. They are often colorful and glittery, varying in shape from the traditional round balls decorated with snowflake designs or religious scenes to more ambitious pieces in the shape of bumblebees or even Queen Nefertiti’s bust.

Other popular items include simple but quirky wooden toys from the Czech Republic or black rye bread imported from neighboring Lithuania.

Warsaw-Christmas Market

Food stalls fill the air with the smell of roasted chestnuts, mulled wine or pierogi, Polish dumplings made from unleavened dough that are stuffed with potatoes, sauerkraut, meat, cheese or fruit. Pierogi is one of the dishes included in the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, and are so popular that restaurants like Pierogarnia specialize in the numerous variations on the dish.

The market is usually held in December and offers a great starting point for exploring the city’s Old Town. Venture deeper, or wander the side streets, and you can load up on unique souvenirs and Christmas gifts like amber jewelry from the country’s Baltic coast.

Zakopane, Poland
Zakopane makes it to the list of best winter destinations in Europe. Zakopane is the winter capital of Poland. The name means literally buried in snow.

The town is located in the picturesque Tatra Mountains close to the Slovak border. The mountain resorts nearby offer a lot in terms of winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding.

With the longest ski slope in the country Kasprowy Wierch just 10 minutes ride from the center of Zakopane and Białka Tatrzańska, the biggest ski resort in the Polish Tatras only 25 km away. The nearby mountains are also a perfect spot for cross country skiing as well as ski touring.

Another winter activity that is very popular in the region is horse sleigh riding in traditional wooden sleigh often ended with a bonfire with sausages and mulled wine. If the weather allows it and there is no danger of an avalanche, you can also take a tour to Morskie Oko (Eye of the Sea – a beautiful mountain lake, the biggest one in Tatras).

The town itself is thriving with life (also at night) and the Highlanders from the Tatras are well known for their folklore and hospitality.

Zakopane has a wide offer of hotels, guesthouses and villas for rent, however, many people also rent rooms in their houses, sometimes including delicious homemade food as well.

Zakopane Winter

The local specialties here include oscypek (a smoked cheese made of salted sheep milk, made exclusively in the Tatra Mountains region of Poland, best served grilled with cranberry topping), kwaśnica (sauerkraut soup), and placek zbójnicki (potato pankake often served with goulash).

If you get really cold, you can get delicious mulled wine everywhere, but you may also try herbata z prądem (electric tea), which is hot tea with alcohol (mostly vodka).

Alentejo & Algarve, Portugal
Alentejo and Algarve regions in Southern Portugal are great places to spend the winter holidays. The weather here is usually sunny and warm compared to the rest of Europe. The great thing about coming here in winter is that it’s much less crowded than in summer months and quite a bit cheaper as well.

Though it’s warm and sunny during the day at night it can get a bit chilly it’s very nice to stay in an old and cozy farmhouse turned into a guesthouse like Courela do Salgueiro or Moinhos do Paneiro in Caroche.

Southern Portugal – Best Winter Destinations in Europe to escape the snow

All the summer activities like hiking, surfing, cycling are still available in winter and can be done without rushing, competing for a spot, or being disturbed. The water here is always quite cold so summer or winter doesn’t make a big difference for surfing or kitesurfing you’ll have to wear a wetsuit.

Waves for surfing are actually better in winter if you like surfing or want to learn it you can rent an apartment in one of the beach towns like Praia do Odeceixe or Sagres and share the waves with only a few locals.

One of the top things to do in the area is to walk the Rota Vicentina, a famous trail that goes along the Vicentina Coast and finishes at Cabo de S.Vicente, the southwesternmost point of the European continent.

Winter is a good time to walk it, it’s not too hot for walking like in summer, there are very few people on the trail compared to the peak season so you can have beautiful sandy beaches all to yourself.

Visiting the stunning caves of the Algarve e.g. Benagil Cave is another great adventure. Some of the caves can be reached only by boat and due to the offseason, you might be the only people there.

Wine tasting is a great option in case of bad weather you can visit famous estates, try local wines and have a fine dinner.

Porto, Portugal
When we think of winter vacations, we think of exotic trips to see the northern lights or the excitements of snow activities. The beautiful baroque city of Porto does not come to mind immediately, it is almost a hidden gem in winters.

One of the many advantages of visiting Porto during winter is that, precisely because the temperatures are quite mild, it is possible to do most part of the activities that you would do during the rest of the year BUT with the advantages of the low season (meaning lower prices and fewer queues).

Porto Portugal

Visit monuments such as the famous Lello bookshop or the stunning St Francis’ gothic church, which are typically flooded with tourists but not during winters.

Another great thing to do during winter in Porto is to take part in the many Christmas activities, which take place during the entire month of December. You can buy traditional Portuguese gifts to bring back home.

Moreover in the main avenue of Porto, Avenida dos Aliados, or in Praça Dom João I, you will find ice rings where you can practice your skills.

And, because the weather is so nice during winter, you can enjoy street theatre and contemporary dancing organized by the City Hall. It is truly magical!

Finally, Portuguese people do not have the tradition of drinking glue wine during winter BUT we drink tons of hot chocolate at Café Guarany or at Penguin Café, two classical cafes that you shouldn’t miss while visiting Porto.

Malaga is famous for its espetos (sardines cooked over an open flame on the beach) and, while you probably won’t find these during the winter months, you’ll still be spoilt for choice with everything from simple tapas bars to fine dining establishments, not to mention the roast chestnut sellers on many street corners.

There’s a huge choice of hotels for all budgets – a personal favorite is Madeinterranea Suites. Tucked away down a side street in Malaga’s old town it’s a tastefully refurbished townhouse with comfortable rooms built around a typical Andalucian courtyard. Book your stay at Madeinterranea Suites.

Lake Bled, Slovenia
Visiting Lake Bled in winter is magical. Most of the tourists come to Lake Bled in summer, however, it is a fantastic winter destination as well. The entire town transforms into a fairy tale, with high snowdrifts and a frozen lake on which you can walk or skate on.

There are many things to do in Bled in winter, from practicing winter sports in the mountains to enjoying strolls along the lake and warming up with endless cups of hot chocolate.

I have spent three days in Bled in winter, staying at Astoria Bled Hotel, a couple of minutes’ walk from the lake. What I enjoyed most about the hotel was the spa. After a day spent in the cold it was so relaxing to just sit in the jacuzzi and watch the snowflakes come down and then melt on the glass ceiling.

Lake Bled in Winter

For snow lovers, Bled is a perfect base for practicing winter sports. Many people who were staying at the same hotel as I was gearing up with their ski equipment and head over to the slopes, in the nearby Triglav National Park.

Taking the cable car up to Vogel Ski Centre, you will find plenty of slopes for every type of skier, beginner or advanced. Even if you don’t know how to ski, you can always come here to take a lesson or two. Plus, the cable car ride up offers amazing views over Lake Bohinj.

If you visit Bled in the middle of winter, when it’s very cold and the ice is strong, you can skate on the lake. If the ice doesn’t look strong enough, there is always the ice rink from the Sports Hall.

Bled is also a great foodie destination and in winter you can be sure to find a table at one of the most popular restaurants in town.

St.Moritz, Switzerland
Exploring the Alps during winter is, of course, an iconic trip and one very popular with many tourists around Europe. However, whilst for many hitting the slopes on skis or a snowboard, this isn’t all there is to do in the region. One of the best ways to see the Alps is by train and none is better than the beautiful Bernina Express.

Departing from Tirano, on the Italian side of the Alps, and traveling all the way through the mountains, across to Switzerland, past some of the iconic resorts, and ending up in the key interchange of Chur. With its wide, panoramic windows, you can grab a picnic and bottle of red, sit back and enjoy the views.

Mountain Views and Alps

Now, one of your key stops will be the glitzy and affluent town of St Moritz in Switzerland. Another favorite of snow and adventure sportspeople, the town has a splendid selection of hotels and restaurants. However, don’t make this your final destination!

Across the valley from the town, you will find Muottas Muragl, a Romantik branded hotel located 2,456m above sea level. To reach the hotel, you have to take the cable car up – which in itself is an epic journey – a vintage funicular railway originating in 1907!

Once you reach the hotel, you will find the incredible views that make this such a wonderful place to visit. With sweeping vistas down across St Mortiz and beyond, on a clear day, it will be one of the finest in the Alps.

The hotel is also home to one of the best sledding routes in the area, allowing you to suit up and take a thrill ride back down into the valley. Then, in the evening, relax in the hotel’s own restaurant, with splendid fine dining, exquisite service, and a wine list to die for. Find more destinations in Switzerland in winter here.

§ Description of the celebration of Easter customs and traditions:

Easter (German Ostern, read as “ Ostern “) is a Christian holiday in connection with the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. For the origin of the word Ostern, see the information below on the page.

The date of the holiday is not constant, the celebration falls on the first Sunday after the spring full moon. The dates of many other holidays are also calculated from this date. Easter is celebrated on Sunday and Monday; Easter days are official days off from work in Germany.

Easter bonfire

On the night of Easter, divine services are held in churches, an Easter bonfire is lit in the courtyard of the temple, from which an Easter candle, called Paschal, is lit, from which believers in the temple light their candles. Then the paschal is set up near the altar and the passover is proclaimed.

Easter eggs, games with eggs

Believers in Germany decorate trees and houses with painted eggs, give eggs to each other and eat them. In addition, there are many games with colored eggs, for example: two people hit the eggs with sharp or blunt ends against each other, the one whose egg remains intact wins. Another example of a game: eggs are rolled down a hill or thrown; the winner is the one whose egg rolled away or flew away further. Another game, a team game: they put eggs in spoons and try to run a certain distance with them without dropping them and come back.

Easter Bunny

Traditionally, the Easter Bunny paints the eggs and hides them in the garden. These eggs are then searched for by the children on Sunday morning.

Throughout history other animals, such as the rooster, the fox, the stork or the cuckoo, have taken on the role of egg provider (Easter Bunny).

Mail to the Easter Bunny

On the eve of Easter, children in Germany write letters, cards and greetings to the Easter Bunny. These postcards are sent to a special branch of the German Easter Bunny Post, where they are processed and answered. The post office address can be found at the specified link on the official website of the German Post.

Easter horse procession, cavalcade

In Saxony, a horse procession is traditionally held on Easter, in which men on horseback and with religious attributes in their hands ride through the villages with the news of the resurrection of Christ. Horse processions are accompanied by songs, it is believed that this tradition affects the fertility of the land.

Easter well, fountain

In villages, wells or fountains are traditionally decorated with branches, Easter eggs and other decorations.

Easter greens, baked goods

Already on Good Thursday (Green Thursday) traditionally green color plays an important role in cooking as a symbol of spring: green soups, salads, cabbage and spinach dishes are prepared.

For Easter there are special sweet pastries, sweet Easter pretzels, Easter braids and wreaths and of course Easter bread.

Good Friday is traditionally served with fish and dumplings with broth, as well as spinach and eggs.

On Easter days, roast lamb or goat meat, various salads, hare and poultry are prepared.

Easter Monday procession (German: Emmausgang)

Priests, accompanied by parishioners, arrange a procession to the holy places on Easter Monday, and such an Easter walk can also be done simply by a group of people. This embodies the idea of the appearance of Christ to his disciples after the resurrection from the dead.

§ Origin of Easter

Origin of holiday name: Easter or Ostern

Although in many countries the word Easter is used for the name of the holiday associated with the resurrection of Christ, in Germany, as in England, the word Ostern is used. Why such difference?

Originally, the word Passover referred to the Jewish holiday in honor of the release of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery and was celebrated with the use of unleavened bread, baked lamb and bitter herbs. To designate a holiday in connection with the resurrection of Christ, Christians began to use the same name.

There are several variants that explain the origin of the word Ostern in German, the exact origin is not known. There are the following assumptions:

Perhaps the word Ostern comes from the name of the ancient German goddess of Spring, sun and light named “Ostara”. Long before Christ, the Germanic tribes and Celts celebrated the festival of spring and light and worshiped the goddess Ostara.

Perhaps the word Ostern comes from the word Osten and denotes the direction of the rising of the sun, in which the sun begins its journey across the sky.

The word Ostern probably comes from the Indo-European word Eostro , which means “Dawn”, and thus conveys the meaning that believers should stay up on Easter night and meet the morning dawn.

The beginning of the celebration of Easter in Christianity

The feast in honor of the resurrection of Christ was established in the 4th century AD, it was supposed to replace the pagan holiday of spring. Then it was decided to celebrate it on the first Sunday after the spring full moon.

Origins of Easter customs

Many of the customs and traditions that are performed at Easter are of pagan origin and are associated with the rituals that people used in connection with the arrival of spring and the awakening of nature. For example, fire was used in pre-Christian times to welcome the victory of the Sun and spring over winter, as well as to protect against evil spirits and improve fertility. Today, the Easter bonfire is also lit in many places to celebrate Easter. The table below summarizes some of the Easter customs and their origins.

How long are school holidays in Germany

In the lands of Germany, holidays for schoolchildren may not take place at the same time, because this would be a significant blow to the country’s economy, created a load on the roads when a large number of people travel in their car. Germans travel to places of interest or visit other countries. If the long vacation in Germany starts at the same time in all educational institutions, this will be a huge test for the country’s economy. Transport companies will feel a special burden.

Instead of four – 6 holidays

Regardless of the type of school, children in Germany rest for at least 75 days per year. The school holiday plan is approved annually at a meeting of the federal conference of the ministry responsible for culture and coordinating the work of 16 land ministries. In the German states, there are such long holidays for students:

Autumn (2 weeks).

Christmas (3 weeks).

Winter (about 3 weeks).

Spring (no more than 2 weeks).

Easter (2 weeks).

Summer (from 6 to 7 weeks).

The system of “floating” days off is not always convenient for the entire population of the country. Many friends and relatives live in different parts of the world, so visiting them is problematic. Families can only meet during the summer holidays for students or religious holidays. German parents do not have the opportunity to take a vacation for all long weekends of schoolchildren.

If a child is older than 9 years old and knows how to occupy himself, this does not cause any special problems for parents. Unlike Russian, German families cannot send their offspring to their grandparents. This is not accepted in Germany. Relatives can receive guests for a couple of days, but the rest of the time it is necessary to think carefully about the child’s leisure. In almost every city in Germany there are a lot of offers for a long vacation for schoolchildren, but not every parent can afford their cost. Sometimes parents have to take vacations at different times so as not to break the law and not leave the child alone.

In German schools, vacations are held according to five different schedules.

Holidays in Germany are held according to 5 different schedules. Even the beginning of the school year does not start the same way everywhere. Although the start date for each federal state is determined individually, it is usually the second week of September. Free days appointed by the state education departments or the directorate of schools are not considered as vacation days. During long weekends, German teachers, like domestic teachers, have a lot of work to do. During this time they are required to:

Check control and examination papers;

Prepare material for a new educational process;

Engage in self-education and professional development.

Regardless of the duration of vacations in Germany, teachers are paid monthly in full. German law prohibits children from being left alone at home until they are 9years. One of the parents must take a vacation during this time or work in the evening.

Christmas Holidays

Religious holidays are celebrated throughout the country in the same way, so German schoolchildren spend their Christmas holidays almost simultaneously. In each of the lands, the number of religious holidays can vary significantly. Catholic Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have more rest days than Protestant Brandenburg. You can find out about the number of days off on the federal website of the conference of ministers of culture. The Christmas weekend can start from December 20-23 and last until January 3-11.

Winter holiday

Winter holidays in Germany start from the end of January or throughout February. In some places, they can even be appointed at the beginning of March. In Hamburg, the rest of schoolchildren lasts only 1 day and begins on January 31. The longest winter holidays for children in Saxony. They start on February 10th and last until the 22nd of this month. In the Saarland, the start of winter holidays for schoolchildren in 2020 was scheduled for February 17 and lasted until February 25.

Easter or spring break

Easter holidays in Germany come at the same time, but spring break in each district comes in different ways. In Hamburg, children rested from March 2 to March 13, and in Lower Saxony, schoolchildren’s spring holidays began on March 30 and will end on April 14. In Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, spring holidays for children will begin on April 6 and will last until April 18. In the Saar, teenagers will be able to relax only from 14 April and their weekend will last until 24 April.

The children of Germany will continue to study until the feast of the Trinity. For schoolchildren in North Rhine-Westphalia, the holiday will last 1 day. It falls on June 2 this year. For students in Hamburg and Saxony-Anhalt, the holidays will begin on May 18, but they will end in different ways. Children in Hamburg will have to start classes on May 22, while schoolchildren in Saxony-Anhalt will only start school on May 30. In Berlin, Bremen, Macklenburg-Western Pomerania, Thuringia, Lower Saxony, schoolchildren’s holidays for Trinity and Ascension will begin on May 22. In some lands there are no holidays for Whitsunday, but schoolchildren have more rest at other times. Such schoolchildren have a longer vacation at Easter, autumn or Christmas long weekends.

Summer vacation

Three-month rest, like Russian schoolchildren, German
there are no students. Summer holidays in Germany usually take place between June 22
and 12 September. Children of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can enjoy their holidays with
July 22, and it will last until August 1. June 25 will go on summer vacation
students from Hamburg, Brandenburg and Berlin. In July they will be able to take a break from school
schoolchildren of Hesse, Saxony, Thuringia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Bavaria, Bremen,
Saar and Lower Saxony. Students are the last to go on summer vacation.
Baden-Württemberg.

New Year and Christmas in Europe 2022

In European countries, the main celebration of the year is the Catholic Christmas, coming on December 25th. And the New Year holidays in Europe are, as it were, a continuation of the Christmas ones. How exactly, on what scale and in what traditions the New Year is celebrated in a particular European country, was influenced by a lot of factors at one time. These are both Christian customs, and pagan, and ancient Roman.

Country Peculiarities of meeting the holiday Dishes on the table Santa Claus

ENGLAND Big Ben announces the coming of the New Year, which rings muffledly until midnight, and at midnight Gifts are not required. Doors in all houses are opened to let in the New Year. The lovers kiss under mistletoe branches. Vegetable stuffed turkey plum pudding Father Christmas

FRANCE Traditionally, on this day a bean is baked into the pie, and whoever gets a piece with the bean is considered the king of the festive night. Every child is supposed to receive a gift in a slipper. The French arrange fun feasts with wine and songs. Turkey stuffed with chestnuts, truffles, poultry, foie gras Pere Noel

ITALY The holiday is bright, cheerful, colorful. Italians decorate their houses with garlands and prepare many treats. In this country, it is customary to get rid of everything old on New Year’s Eve. Therefore, immediately after midnight, various objects fly from the windows of houses – the owners make room for new happiness. Fish dishes, pastries, cappelletti, pork Babo Nattale

SPAIN It is customary to celebrate the New Year in the squares. Hundreds and thousands of people gather, and each of them holds a bag with a dozen grapes. When the chimes strike, with the next blow, the celebrants eat grapes. Seafood, lots of sweets, lamb ribs, turkey or piglet Papa Noel

GERMANY A minute before the New Year, everyone climbs on chairs, and then they “jump” into the new year. Many go out into the street, launch rockets, congratulate passers-by, drink champagne. Carp, herring, pies, nuts, fruit, gingerbread, sausages Nikolaus

HOLLAND Many people celebrate the arrival of the New Year in the central squares. The holiday is very noisy, with crackers, music, songs. But it is also a family celebration with special dishes and a festive feast. Shortbread, candied fruit, poultry, donuts, salted beans Sunderklaas

As you can see, New Year’s traditions and holiday destinations, with all their differences, have a lot in common. The weather during the New Year holidays in Europe is usually warm, sometimes rainy. If you want to celebrate a holiday among snowdrifts, then your choice is the Czech Republic or the Scandinavian countries. If you vote for winter, which is similar to our autumn, go to Greece or France.

What to do, where to note and what to see in Europe?

If you are going to Europe for the New Year for a special festive mood, make a choice in favor of Germany, Sweden, Denmark. The Baltic countries are also very picturesque at this time.

Almost every building is decorated with Christmas tree branches and garlands, so a simple walk along the European street brings a sense of celebration and spiritual uplift at this time.

Excursions and other entertainment – also on the level.

Holiday sales are taking place all over Europe at this time. There are fairs and amusement parks everywhere. Sightseeing and thematic tours are conducted. Holiday concerts and exhibitions are held.

Do you choose solitude, active holidays, pristine natural charm? Head to the alpine slopes, to holiday homes in Swedish or Finnish forests, or to one of Norway’s tiny villages where you can rent a cottage.

Do you want to celebrate the holiday in a fun and noisy way? Go to Edinburgh or Prague. Although in any European city on New Year’s Eve people gather in the central squares.

If you want to celebrate a holiday in a restaurant or cafe, absolutely any city in any European country will do. The only problem may be the availability of seats. You need to take care of booking a table in advance.

What to see with children in Europe?

New Year holidays are the best time to introduce your child to European cities. During this period, a huge number of entertainment attractions and amusement parks work for them. The most incredible experience will bring:

Disneyland France;

Danish Legoland;

Port Aventura in Spain;

Junibacken in the capital of Sweden;

Lapland in Finland;

Tropicary in Hungary.

And even the Christmas and New Year atmosphere that European cities are filled with at this time makes an indelible impression on children.

Also very picturesque are the winter resorts of Andorra, Finland, France, Spain, where you will find not only skiing, but also sleigh rides, horseback riding, SPA centers.

What must be done in Europe during the New Year holidays?

In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, try local wine, which is hardly ever exported.

In Italy – see festive Venice and stroll around Milan. Visit one of the pyrotechnic shows that take place on the squares. Taste Sciacchetra wine.

In Hungary, try krampampuli, a local rum-based drink that is an elaborate New Year’s ritual. Go with the children to the village of Nod Karachon, where the local Santa Claus is waiting for the children.

In Holland, check into one of the designer hotels or at least take a tour there.

In France – visit Disneyland and rise above Paris on a 60-meter Ferris wheel.

In Austria, go outside at midnight on New Year’s Eve and listen to the trumpeters announce the coming of the New Year. Meet a chimney sweep in a high top hat on the street, which should bring good luck in the coming year.

In any European country:

walk along the streets of ancient cities;

visit Christmas markets and buy souvenirs;

try mulled wine and local confectionery;

watch the fireworks on the main square of the city.

Conclusion

A trip to Europe for the New Year holidays is much less burdensome than a trip to a distant exotic country. Yes, and it will be cheaper due to territorial proximity. And the unique atmosphere of a bright fairy tale that prevails in European countries during this period will bring you a lot of unforgettable emotions.

In European cities, there is a place for a romantic walk, for a noisy party in a big company, for relaxing with children, and for active recreation.

Christmas in Europe | Loratravels

To begin with, we would like to remind you that our winter holidays and winter holidays in Europe do not coincide. The main holiday in Europe is Christmas, which is celebrated on the night of 24 to 25 December. New Year’s Eve doesn’t matter that much. If Christmas in Europe is a holiday that Europeans prefer to spend with their families, then for the New Year they choose restaurants, discos, night performances, in general, they have fun outside the home in every possible way. And already in early January, starting from the 4th day in Europe, working days, while our holidays are in full swing.

To feel the real Christmas spirit, of course, you need to go to Europe on Christmas Eve. Decorating Christmas trees, decorating the streets, setting up fairs in Europe starts about a month before Christmas. Further on the rise, the closer to December 24, the brighter and more colorful it becomes on the streets of European cities, urban performances begin, which are loved by both adults and children, and the cities themselves become fabulous thanks to all kinds of decorations. There is a festive atmosphere almost everywhere on Christmas Eve in Europe, but we will tell you about the 5 most magical cities for celebrating European Christmas. So, where to go to Europe for Christmas?

1.Christmas in Stockholm, Sweden

Around Christmas, the already cozy and magical Stockholm becomes just a fairy tale for real. Numerous bazaars, fairs and illuminations everywhere make the city simply magical. The meeting point for tourists and locals during this period are 2 main Christmas markets – in Skansen and in Gamla Stan. Read about how to get around European cities here: All about public transport in Europe.

Skansen is a kind of open-air museum, there are exhibitions of national wooden architecture, there is also a zoo, which has become a home for animals traditionally living in Sweden. There is also a chic Christmas market here. You can walk here all day, this is such a colorful and interesting place. The skansen is open daily, but the bazaars take place on weekends. While walking around Skansen, don’t forget to try all sorts of Swedish “sweets” such as Christmas cookies, gingerbread, jam and, of course, hot mulled wine.

Gamla Stan is the Old Town in Stockholm, ie. the most historical part of it. Of course, colorful Christmas markets are also held here. The interesting thing about the place is that, starting from December 1, one festive window opens here every day, but where exactly in Gamla Stan, you need to check according to a special Christmas calendar. Christmas music and songs are heard from the opened window. A very nice tradition, don’t you agree? Seeing the opening window is considered fortunate in the New Year.

If you want to wander around the windows with all kinds of Christmas souvenirs, then head to the NK department store, the largest in the city. Be sure that here you will certainly feel like a child, literally stuck to the windows of a shop window. A large skating rink also opens in Stockholm in winter, so if you like outdoor activities, then you are here. In addition to all the entertainment, another traditional entertainment for Stockholmers is walking behind the Yulburd.

Yulburd is a buffet that opens in all the fashionable restaurants of the city on Christmas Eve. This is a real opportunity to try unforgettable Swedish cuisine for a reasonable price, so many tourists from neighboring countries and cities come to Stockholm for Yulburd. Christmas holidays are a fun time in the capital of Sweden. If you want to become a part of this holiday, then come to Stockholm for Christmas!

2.Christmas in Prague, Czech Republic

Christmas decorations in Prague are a beautiful sight. Huge fluffy fir trees are set up on medieval cobbled squares, and Christmas markets are organized around them, where you can find in abundance both souvenirs and symbols of Christmas, as well as traditional Czech goodies. Feel the spirit of the fun Prague fairs come to the Old Town and Wenceslas Squares, it is here that the most luxurious bazaars take place. You should definitely try tsukrovi (these are Czech Christmas cookies), honey gingerbread, and drink punch or mead – both of which will perfectly warm you on a winter evening.

If you want to attend a Christmas performance, then go to the church of St. Nicholas, and if you want to take the children to a traditional Christmas tree performance, then you should go to the Koruni Theater (performances are in Russian). Around Christmas, people in Prague love to dress up and carol, so don’t be surprised if you meet familiar fairy-tale characters right in the middle of the streets. Another purely Prague tradition is the release of fish into the Vltava (the main river artery of the city). To do this, on December 24, both children and adults gather near the banks of the Vltava, buy live fish at the local market, preferably carp, and release it into the river. It is believed that by releasing the fish into the river, you let go of the past year and enter the new one with pure thoughts. Many come to Charles Bridge on this day, because standing on the bridge on Christmas Eve and making a wish, you can expect it to come true. At least, the inhabitants of Prague firmly believe in this.

In many Prague churches before Christmas, so-called nativity scenes open. These are artistically designed scenes based on the birth of Christ, walking here, you always feel the magical magic of Christmas (organized in the Cathedral of St. Vitus, the monastery church of the Virgin Mary of Angels, the Church of the Virgin Mary in front of Tyn, the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious, the Church of St. Thomas, the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul and many other places). It will be interesting to visit the Christmas exhibitions in the Old Town Hall and the Bethlehem Chapel.

Say what you like, but the celebration of Christmas in Prague, and throughout the Czech Republic, is of great importance. Arriving in Prague on Christmas Eve, you find yourself in a fairy tale, where the characters of fairy tales walk through the streets, gigantic decorated fir trees flaunt in the squares, and the air smells of cinnamon and vanilla. Prague is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life on Christmas Eve. Read more about how to save money on entrance tickets to attractions: City Tourist Card.

3.Christmas in Innsbruck, Austria

In winter, people come to Innsbruck to go skiing, but this city is remarkable not only for its natural landscapes. On Christmas Eve, there are many theatrical performances, which will be interesting not only for adults, but also for children. The most interesting places in the city at this time are the Old Town, Markplatz, Maria Theresa Street, Wilten Square and St. Nicholas Square. A multi-meter Christmas tree decorated with crystals is set up in the central square. Christmas markets are organized on Wilten Square and Markplatz. And on the streets of Merchengasse and Riesengasse, theatrical performances for children based on Christmas motifs are held. Head to Sparkassenplatz if you’re into ice skating, a lavishly decorated skating rink opens there every winter. Pre-Christmas events begin in Innsbruck on November 15 and end after the New Year.

If you are still drawn to the mountains, then you can combine business with pleasure and take a ride on the lift to Hungerburg. In this cozy place, you can look at the festive Innsbruck from a bird’s eye view, or you can stroll through the Christmas market, choose souvenirs and enjoy sweets. The funicular operates from 13.00 to 19.00 daily. For authentic Tyrolean cuisine, go to local taverns, many of which are marked with a quality mark, which indicates that the locals care about preserving their culture and traditions, including in cooking.

Tyroleans consider apple strudel to be the biggest sweet delicacy, and Gröstl the most delicious savory dish. There are several ski resorts in the vicinity of Innsbruck, incl. known as Sölden and Kitzbühel. These towns are also transformed during the winter holidays, so a day trip here can bring many pleasant experiences. Christmas in Innsbruck and its surroundings is Christmas in Europe at its best.

4.Christmas in Munich, Germany

Munich’s main fair is usually located on Marienplatz, where the largest Christmas tree is set up, and after 5 pm you can hear the sound of live Christmas music. You can also explore festive Munich in different ways: someone can go on a walking tour, which is conducted by certified guides on Christmas Eve for free; and someone to ride on a special Christmas tram that runs along the central ring. In the tram, the famous German gluwein (mulled wine) is generously poured and Christmas carols are sung. A ticket for such a tram will cost 1.5 euros, the landing station is SendlingerTor.

For theatrical performances, head to Wittelsbacherplatz, the so-called medieval market. The atmosphere here is appropriate: people dress up in medieval costumes and arrange festive processions, and at the fair you can try stew according to a real medieval recipe. On Stachus Square, an ice rink is poured in the first winter month. While riding, you can also treat yourself to a warming up punch. Real fans of Christmas will certainly be interested in visiting the Christmas Museum in Rothenburg, where there are more than 30,000 exhibits, which are Christmas tree decorations of all kinds and colors. Entering such a museum, you feel that you are in a fairy tale. Also on the ground floor of the museum is a shop where you can find Christmas decorations to your taste. The same shops (without a museum) are located in the towns of Oberammergau, Nuremberg, Bamberg, Berlin, Bruges.

In addition to Munich, you can get into the spirit of Christmas in other places in Bavaria, for example, go on an excursion to Neuschwanstein Castle, for children this trip will be a real adventure, because the snow-covered castle is so reminiscent of a castle from Disney cartoons. Visiting local fairs in Regensburg, Nuremberg, Ingolstadt, Fussen and other cozy towns in Bavaria is a must if you come here for more than a couple of days. The small towns of Bavaria are beautiful at any time of the year, but in winter, decorated and elegant, they look just magical.

5.Christmas in Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg is a small town in northern France in the province of Alsace. Despite its size, on Christmas Eve Strasbourg turns into the liveliest and most festive place in the whole area. Many tourists prefer to come here in winter, around Christmas, to feel the atmosphere and admire the elegant narrow streets, which are nice to wander around. Some are even of the opinion that Strasbourg is the capital of Christmas in Europe! The main holiday tree is set up on Place Kléber. Christmas markets are held on Cathedral Square and Broya Square, on Palace and Railway Station Squares. You can ride the skating rink at Place Dauphine at the entrance to the Rivetol Center.

Every year around Christmas in Strasbourg, the village of St. Thomas is recreated, where children are invited free of charge to various performances, games and workshops. Such entertainment can become a whole event in the life of a child! Walking through the streets of Strasbourg and enjoying the festive illumination, do not forget to try traditional Alsatian goodies, such as Bredel Christmas cookies or Bretzel pretzel (dating back to the German tradition) or a piece of flambé tart (this is already French cuisine).

Perhaps the most popular pastry here is the Kögelhopf raisin and almond cake. From unsweetened, it makes sense to treat yourself to Knakk (Alsatian sausage) or liver dumplings. As for drinks, the region is famous for its white wines, but around Christmas, here, as elsewhere in Europe, they drink hot cinnamon mulled wine.

How to Visit Teide National Park, Tenerife, Spain

No trip to Tenerife is complete without visiting Teide National Park. Boasting UNESCO status and the highest peak in Spain, El Teide (3,718 m), Teide National Park is one of the most impressive destinations in the Canary Islands.

The park stretches across the center of Tenerife encompassing the Cañadas del Teide caldera.

About 300,000 years ago, a massive volcano collapsed, thus forming the caldera. From above, it looks like a huge basin or depression (you’ll see this more clearly on the map below).

Pico Viejo, El Teide, and many other smaller volcanoes have sprouted out from the caldera floor, creating a striking lunar landscape of lava, pumice, and rock. The caldera is also home to rare, endemic flora and fauna, like Teide broom and Teide Bugloss.

During your visit, you can drive across Cañadas del Teide on TF-21, hike up the caldera rim, summit Pico del Teide, and walk over fields of lava and pumice.

In this guide, we’re going to outline everything you need to know about visiting Teide National Park and summiting Pico del Teide (permit, cable car, ascent routes, etc…).

Teide National Park Quick Facts

Entrance Fee: None

Permits: You only need a permit to summit Pico del Teide.

Parking: Parking is free throughout the park. If you’re visiting during peak holiday seasons, parking fills up very quickly.

Main Attractions: El Teide and Roques de García

Recommended Hike: Parador Nacional to Guajara

Camping: Camping is forbidden in Teide National Park

Recommended Itinerary: Tenerife 7-day Road Trip

Where to Stay in Teide National Park: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury)

Recommended Guidebook: Tenerife Rother Walking Guide

Teide National Park Map

Essential Info for Visiting Teide National Park

Visitor Information | There are two visitor centers in Teide National Park: one at El Portillo and the other at Parador Nacional. To get updates on trail closures, facilities, and weather, visit volcanoteide.com.

Permits | If you want to hike to Mount Teide Peak (Pico del Teide), you need to secure a free permit in advance. Try to get your permit as early as possible.

Safety | As you explore the park, you’ll be between 2,000 and 3,718 meters. That’s really high, especially if you started your day at sea level. High elevation can impact people in different ways. If you ascend too quickly on trails, you might experience shortness of breath, dizziness, and even nausea. If you feel ill, descend immediately. If you’re determined to tackle some high elevation hikes in the park, we recommend drinking lots of water and sleeping at a higher elevation the night before (e. g. Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide).

Food | Definitely bring snacks and water with you. Here are a few places you can grab a bite to eat in the park:

Parador Nacional Cafeteria (adjoined to the shop)

Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide hotel restaurant

Mount Teide Cable Car base station café

Restaurante La Bamby

Restaurante El Portillo

Theft | Never leave valuables in your car. Throughout Tenerife, rental cars are often targetted by thieves because tourists leave their possessions in plain sight. We recommend peeling off your rental car sticker as well.

Essentials | Wear warm clothing (thermal jacket, wind-proof/rain jacket, fleece, beanie, and gloves) and sturdy hiking boots like the women’s Hanwag Tatra II GTX / Meindl Schuhe Island Lady or the men’s Hanwag Tatra II GTX.

How to Get to Teide National Park

TF-21

The best options for visiting Teide National Park are with a rental car or on a guided tour. Transit to and from the park is extremely limited, so it’s not something we recommend.

Teide National Park covers a surface area of 190 km2 (18,990 hectares). To get to the very heart of the park, head to Parador Nacional.

You’ll find the highest concentration of trailheads and places to eat between Parador Nacional and El Portillo.

There are three ways to get to Parador Nacional (with a car):

From the South (e.g. Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje), head to Vilaflor and take TF-21 into the park (30 minutes / 22 km)

From the North (e.g. Puerto de la Cruz), head to La Orotava and take TF-21 into the park (1 hour / 38 km)

From the West (e.g. Los Gigantes), head to Chío and TF-38 highway and then TF-21 into the park (40 min / 36 km)

Rental Car

The most efficient way to travel between hiking destinations in Teide National Park is with your own car.

We recommend using the Discovercars. com car rental reservation platform to search for and book car rentals in Tenerife. This easy-to-use booking platform compares car rental deals from 500+ trusted providers, so that you can choose the best option for your trip.

Tip: If you can only drive automatic transmission cars, as opposed to manual transmission cars (stick shift), book your can rental as early as possible.

Check car rental rates here.

How to Summit Pico del Teide

Step 1: Get a Permit

After 9 am, you need a permit to hike to the top of El Teide. Permits are free, but you should get one well in advance of your planned hiking date.

Kati and I tried securing our permits a month in advance and we were already too late. You can obtain a free permit from the Parque Nacional Teide reservation website.

If you can’t get a permit…

If you can’t get a permit on your own, you can still book a guided tour like this one, which includes the permit, cable car tickets (up and down), and insurance. For more options, check out these Teide guided tours.

If you’re not a fan of guided tours and are still determined to summit El Teide, you could visit the peak before 9 am (no permit necessary).

The best way to do that is by overnighting in the Altavista Refuge (reservation needed) and hiking up to the summit early the next morning.

Bring a headlamp, food, and warm clothing. You just have to be off the peak (trail No 10) before 9 am.

Step 2: Pick your Route

Cable Car Up & Down

There are different ascent routes, but the most popular and easiest way to summit Teide is by taking the cable car (there’s only one cable car in the whole park).

From the top station, La Rambleta, you’ll have to hike up the final 163 meters to Teide Peak.

Make sure to purchase your cable car tickets in advance.

Hike: TF-21 (Trailhead at km 40.5) – Refugio de Altavista (3260 m) – Pico del Teide (3718 m)

If you’re not planning on taking the cable car up, this is the easiest ascent route to the top.

However, it still involves a hefty 1400 meter ascent. This route follows trails 7 and 11. You can descend with the cable car (book in advance), or hike down the way you came.

Step 3: Purchase your Cable Car Tickets

Purchase your cable car tickets here. Pricing (as of 2022) is as follows:

Ticket for the ascent: 21.50 EUR

Ticket for the descent: 21.50 EUR

Cable car return ticket: 38 EUR

The cable car only operates in stable weather conditions. You can check the cable car status here.

Kati and I planned to take the cable car up to the top station and hike to Pico Viejo and then all the way down to Parador.

We purchased our tickets, but when we arrived at the cable car station, we were informed that the cable car wasn’t running, due to strong winds.

If that happens to you, you can either get a full refund or re-book your ticket for another day, at no extra cost.

Step 4: Monitor Trail Conditions and Weather

If it’s really windy, or icy, Teide National Park will close the trails to the summit, to the Refuge or Pico Viejo. You can monitor trail conditions and closures here.

Step 5: Have a Backup Plan

If the cable car isn’t running, or the trail to the summit is closed, there are other options.

If it’s not windy and you’re up for a half-day hike, we recommend the Parador to Guajara circuit trail.

For an easy, but stunning hike, walk the circuit trail around Roques de García.

Where to Stay in Teide National Park

Guajara

Luxury | The best place to stay in Teide National Park is Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide. This hotel is situated on TF-21 in the best possible location. Parador is the trailhead to Mount Guajara and a few minutes away from the Roques de García trailhead. You can also walk from the hotel to the cable car base station (1 hour) or drive (6 minutes). If you stay here, you’ll also be able to enjoy the starry skies, as there’s no light pollution in the park.

Book your stay at Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide.

Look for accommodation in Teide National Park.

You can also stay in Vilaflor

Another great base for visiting Teide National Park is the town of Vilaflor, which is only a 30-minute drive from the park. If you overnight in Vilaflor (1,400 m), you’ll have the advantage of acclimatizing before tackling higher elevations in the park.

Midrange | El Tejar Hotel & Spa

Luxury | Hotel Spa Villalba is surrounded by forest and located in the mountains below Teide National Park, this peaceful hotel encourages you to unwind and relax. Guests have access to a wellness area featuring saunas and an indoor/outdoor pool. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. But, our favorite thing about staying here was the breakfast buffet, featuring local specialties and everything else you’d ever want. It’s possible to eat dinner at the hotel, but we’d recommend eating in the town of Vilaflor instead.

Look for accommodation in Vilaflor.

Best Hikes in Teide National Park, Tenerife, Spain

Teide National Park looks like it was painted in broad brushstrokes of mauve, ebony, ochre, and ash. As you venture into the volcanic wonderland of Las Cañadas caldera, you’ll see petrified lava, craggy outcrops, plains of pumice, and splashes of green and plum.

This thrilling hiking destination in the center of Tenerife island feels like another planet, far far away from the subtropical forests of Anaga and the fertile valleys of Orotava and La Laguna. Naturally, the main focal point is Mount Teide (3,715 m), Spain’s highest peak.

Most visitors are fixated on climbing El Teide (permit needed) during their trip to the largest Canary Island. However, there are many other hiking trails along the Caldera rim and in Las Cañadas del Teide that shouldn’t be overlooked.

From easy 1-hour loop trails to more demanding summit hikes, Teide National Park is a hiker’s paradise.

We recommend spending two full days in the park. Base yourself directly in the heart of Teide National Park at Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide, or in the town of Vilaflor.

Tips for Hiking in Teide National Park

Wear warm clothing and bring layers. You’ll be hiking between 2,100 and 3,715 meters. Even on crystal-clear sunny days, it can be really chilly and windy in the park. Pack your thermal jacket, beanie, and gloves.

Pack hiking snacks and sufficient water. There are a few places you can eat in the park, but not many. Eating options include the cafeteria at Parador Nacional, the Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide hotel restaurant, the cable car bottom station café, Restaurante La Bamby and Restaurante El Portillo.

Wear Grade B/C hiking boots like the women’s Hanwag Tatra II GTX / Meindl Schuhe Island Lady (what Kati and I wear) or the men’s Hanwag Tatra II GTX.

Don’t leave valuables in your parked car.

Difficulty: Moderate – Difficult

Min. Elevation: 2126 m

Max. Elevation: 2693 m

Route: Parador Nacional – Degollada de Guajara (mountain pass) – Guajara (mountain) – Degollada de Ucanca (mountain pass) – Parador Nacional

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide Nationalpark, or El Tejar Hotel & Spa (midrange) in Vilaflor

If you only have time for one hike in Teide National Park, choose this one. This circuit trail starts at Parador Nacional and takes you to the summit of Guajara, 2718 m, a broad-shouldered mountain along the caldera rim.

From the top of Mount Guajara, you’ll be treated to inspiring views of Mount Teide, the Cañadas, the coast and neighboring Canary Islands like La Gomera.

From the roundabout at Parador Nacional, follow trail S-4 towards Guajara (opposite direction of Mount Teide).

Look for the white/red/yellow trail marker. After about 15 minutes, you’ll reach a road, where you’ll turn left onto S-4. Shortly thereafter, you’ll walk past a stone shelter.

The wide roadway gently ascends through a cluster of copper-colored rock formations. Follow trail #5 to Guajara Pass (2385 m). At the pass, turn right onto trail S-15, in the direction of Alto de Guajara.

The final ascent to the Guajara plateau is very gentle. For the best views, explore the plateau beyond the make-shift stone wall, which provides shelter from strong winds.

To continue the circuit, retrace your ascent route for about 200 m to the last trail intersection. Continue right.

Keep in mind that the descent route is more difficult because of uneven terrain and steeper sections. To complete the circuit, follow signs towards Parador (S-31).

2. Roques de García Loop Trail

Trailhead: Mirador de la Ruleta

Distance: 4.2 km circuit

Time Needed: 1:30 hours

Elevation Gain/Loss: 170 m

Difficulty: Easy

Min. Elevation: 2022 m

Max. Elevation: 2183 m

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide National Park, or Hotel Spa Villalba (luxury) in Vilaflor

This short but nevertheless impressive walk around the rock formation Roques de García is a must-do. The trail starts at the lookout point Mirador de la Ruleta, which is on the opposite side of the road from Parador Nacional (where hike #1 started).

We followed the flat path on the right side of the rock formation and followed the circuit trail anti-clockwise.

Though most of the trail is level, the final stretch is marked by a steep 200-meter ascent.

Tip: The best time to hike around Roques de García is at golden hour, one hour before sunset.

At this time of day, most people have left Teide National park, leaving this popular trail blissfully empty. And as the sun slowly bids farewell, the jagged landscape glows shades of amber and peach.

3. Fortaleza

Trailhead: El Portillo

Distance: 10.1 km out-and-back

Time Needed: 3:10 hours

Elevation Gain/Loss: 301 m

Difficulty: Easy – Moderate

Min. Elevation: 2043 m

Max. Elevation: 2142 m

Route: El Portillo (Visitor Center) – Cañada de los Guancheros – Cruz de Fregel – Fortaleza – El Portillo

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide Nationalpark, or El Refugio De Maria (budget) in La Orotava

La Fortaleza is a rusty-brown, flat-topped massif in Teide National Park. The hike to the summit of Fortaleza is a leisurely walk through the Cañadas of Teide.

With continuous views of Mount Teide, this flat path traverses an expansive volcanic landscape dotted with laburnum bushes and Teide gorse. If you hike here in spring, you’ll see blooming red bugloss.

To start the hike, head to the Visitor Center at El Portillo. Just before the entrance, there’s a walkway on the left side. Take this ramp and follow trail No 1 in the direction of Mount Teide.

You’ll hike along trail No 1 for an hour (3 km) before reaching the Trail No 29 intersection. To ascend to Fortaleza, turn right onto trail No 29 to a small chapel, called Cruz de Fregel. Continue uphill, ignoring the trail heading right.

At the summit (more like a plateau), you’ll see Teide, the forests of Ortova Valley, Puerto de la Cruz, and even the coast. It’s best to descend the way you came up. We continued across Fortaleza and ended up scrambling down a precipitous slope (not recommended).

Retrace your steps and follow the route back to the visitor center.

4. Montaña de la Botija and Montaña Samara Circuit Trail

Trailhead: Mirador de Sámara, small parking lot off of TF-38

Distance:5. 1 km circuit

Time Needed: 1:45 hours

Elevation Gain/Loss: 230 m

Difficulty: Easy

Min. Elevation: 1862 m

Max. Elevation: 2092 m

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide National Park, or Hotel La Casona del Patio (midrange) in Santiago del Teide

This delightful loop trail around Montaña de la Botija is a great option for those driving from Los Gigantes to Teide National Park.

The color contrasts between the young pine trees and the black lava slopes make this one of the most photogenic destinations in the park.

From the small parking lot off of TF-38 (see map for exact location), follow the trail that runs parallel to the road.

Turn left onto trail 13 and follow this trail around Montaña de la Botija.

5. Huevos del Teide and Montaña Blanca

Trailhead: El Portillo

Distance: 20. 4 km circuit

Elevation Gain/Loss: 750 m

Difficulty: Moderate

Time Needed: 6:00 hours

Min. Elevation: 2050 m

Max. Elevation: 2736 m

Route: El Portillo (Visitor Center) – Montana de los Tomillos – Huevos del Teide – Montana Blanca – Huevos del Teide – Canada de los Guancheros – El Portillo (Visitor Center)

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide Nationalpark, or El Refugio De Maria (budget) in La Orotava

This trail somewhat overlaps with the Fortaleza hike, so we recommend only doing one of these trails during your trip to Teide National Park. We did both and it was a bit redundant.

Though not very strenuous, the hike from El Portillo to Montaña Blanca is a long one. There’s a faster approach to Montaña Blanca from the TF-21 road (see the orange marker “Sendero de Montaña Blanca” on the map).

The problem is that there is extremely limited parking near this trailhead.

From El Portillo, head onto trail No 1 for 15 minutes. When the trail forks, turn left onto trail No 6 and continue straight towards El Teide for 5 km (~2 hours). Trail 6 will ultimately intersect a roadway. Turn right onto the road and ascend to the col between Montaña Blanca and El Teide.

As you ascend, you’ll hike across pumice slopes speckled with black lava boulders known as “Huevos del Teide” (Teide eggs).

These “eggs” are accretion balls and they form when a lava flow moves down a steep slope and pieces of solidified lava roll over the still molten surface, gathering layers of lava, just like a snowball.

At the col, the ascent route to Pico del Teide branches off to the right. Stay left and continue for 10 minutes to the summit plateau of Montaña Blanca.

To return back to El Portillo, either follow the route you came (18.6 km out-and back) or take trail 22 back to the trailhead.

6. Pico del Teide Summit

Trailhead: La Rambleta, Teide Cable Car Top Station, 3555 m

Distance: 1.3 km out-and-back

Elevation Gain/Loss: 163 m

Difficulty: Moderate

Time Needed: 45 minutes

Min. Elevation: 3532 m

Max. Elevation: 3715 m

Where to Stay: Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide (luxury) in Teide National Park, or Hotel Spa Villalba (luxury) in Vilaflor

If you want to hike to the summit of El Teide, you need to secure a permit. Permits are free but are not easy to get.

We tried securing a permit a month in advance and it was too late.

You can obtain a free permit from the Parque Nacional Teide reservation website. As soon as you secure your permit, you should also book your cable car tickets.

There are different ascent routes, but the most popular and easiest way to summit Teide is by taking the cable car (there’s only one cable car in the whole park) up to the top station, La Rambleta, and hiking the final 163 meterss up to Teide Peak.

If you can’t get a permit on your own, you can still book a guided tour like this one, which includes the permit, cable car tickets (up and down), and insurance.

For more options, check out these Teide guided tours.

Best Base for Hiking in Teide National Park

Teide National Park

Luxury | The best place to stay in Teide National Park is Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide. This hotel is situated on TF-21 in the best possible location. Parador is the trailhead to Mount Guajara and a few minutes away from the Roques de García trailhead. You can also walk from the hotel to the cable car base station (1 hour) or drive (6 minutes). If you stay here, you’ll also be able to enjoy the starry skies, as there’s no light pollution in the park.

Book your stay at Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide.

Look for accommodation in Teide National Park.

Vilaflor

Another great base for hiking in Teide National Park is the town of Vilaflor. If you overnight in Vilaflor (1,400 m), you’ll have the advantage of acclimatizing before tackling higher elevations in the park. Vilaflor is a 30-minute drive to Parador Nacional and Roques de García.

Midrange | El Tejar Hotel & Spa

Luxury | Hotel Spa Villalba is surrounded by forest and located in the mountains below Teide National Park, this peaceful hotel encourages you to unwind and relax. Guests have access to a wellness area featuring saunas and an indoor/outdoor pool. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. But, our favorite thing about staying here was the breakfast buffet, featuring local specialties and everything else you’d ever want. It’s possible to eat dinner at the hotel, but we’d recommend eating in the town of Vilaflor instead.

TEIDE NATIONAL PARK – World Heritage Datasheet

Inscription year

2007

Country
Spain

Teide on the island of Tenerife is the highest mountain in Spain and at 7,500m above the sea floor, is the world’s third largest volcanic structure. It is a shield volcano that combines a severely beautiful landscape, often wreathed in cloud, with a great variety of volcanic features with uncommon altitude-adapted endemic flora and invertebrate fauna. It has been long studied. The high unpolluted location makes it a natural laboratory for astrophysical research, for monitoring climatic change and global atmospheric pollution in addition to the study of the geological processes which created it.

NAME

Teide National Park

NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE

2007: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii and viii.

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription:

Teide National Park, dominated by the 3,781 m Teide-Pico Viejo stratovolcano, represents a rich and diverse assemblage of volcanic features and landscapes concentrated in a spectacular setting.

Criterion (vii): Mount Teide is a striking volcanic landscape dominated by the jagged Las Cañadas escarpment and a central volcano that makes Tenerife the third tallest volcanic structure in the world. Within this landscape is a superlative suite of landforms that reveal different phases of construction and remodeling of the volcanic complex and highlight its unique geodiversity. The visual impact is emphasized by atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a ‘sea of clouds’ that forms a visually impressive backdrop to the mountain.

Criterion (viii): Teide National Park is an exceptional example of a relatively old, slow moving, geologically complex and mature volcanic system. It is of global importance in providing diverse evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands, and these values complement those of existing volcanic properties on the World Heritage List, such as the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It offers a diverse and accessible assemblage of volcanic features and landscapes in a relatively limited area. The area is a major centre for international research with a long history of influence on geology and geomorphology especially through the work of von Humboldt, von Buch and Lyell which has made Mount Teide a significant site in the history of volcanology.

The property is well managed and resourced, with a six-year management plan in place which is due for renewal in 2008. The property is afforded the same legal protection as other national parks in Spain and is surrounded by a buffer zone. Key management issues include the management of tourism, the potential impact of climate change, and effective coordination of management responsibility between national and regional levels of government.

IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY

Teide Natural Monument: Unassigned

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE

Macaronesian Islands (2.40.13)

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

Teide is the central peak of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands which lie 320 km west of Africa and 1,380 km southwest of Spain at 28^o 09’00” to 28^o 20’02 N by 16^o 29’00″to 16^o 44’00” W.

DATES AND HISTORY OF ESTABLISHMENT

1954: Teide National Park (13,571ha) established by decree;

1994: Teide Natural Monument declared by Law No. 12;

1981: The Peripheral Protection Zone was established by Law 5/1981; the National Park reclassified;

1989: Granted European Union Diploma Class A by the Council of Europe; extended 1994 & 1999;

2000: Corona Forestal National Park established by Decree 1/2000.

2002: Teide Management and Usage Administratiion Plan approved by decree 153.

2005: The Canary Islands designated a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area by the International Marine Organisation;

LAND TENURE

The land is 92.78% owned by eleven municipalities, one of which, La Orotava, owns 72% of the area. The state owns 7.2%, and 4 ha is owned by private communication companies. From 2007 the Park will be managed by the National Park Service under the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands.

AREA

The nominated core area is 18,990 ha. The buffer zone of 54,127.9 ha comprises the Corona Forestal National Park (46,612.9 ha) and the Peripheral Protection Zone (7,515 ha). The whole area protected totals 73,117. 9 ha.

ALTITUDE

1,650m-3,718m (Teide, 3,134m Pico Viejo)

PHYSICAL FEATURES

Teide is the highest mountain in Spain, an impressive stratovolcano in the centre of the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, a chain formed like the Hawaiian Islands by the passing of the under-lying lithospheric plate across a magma plume. The nominated core and associated protected areas cover over a third of the island. Its peaks of Teide and Pico Viejo rise 1,700m and 1,340m respectively from the encircling 16km-wide caldera of the huge ancient Las Caňadas (the springs) volcano, which erupted violently 200,000 years ago. The present volcano which is the third highest in the world after Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, rises 7,500m from the ocean floor and was created over a long period by a low-intensity magmatic hot spot beneath an almost stationary tectonic plate. It is of great scientific interest because it concentrates in a palimpsest of successive eruptive and effusive landscapes a wide range of geological and magmatic features characteristic of such mid-plate oceanic islands.

Most notable is the vast caldera of the volcano created by a landslide, floored at the 2,000m level by lava fields, walled by a 600m escarpment of multicolored rocks, overlaid on the north side by the high volcanic summits rising out of it. The crescent-shaped floor of the caldera teems with a network of smaller volcanic mouths, cones domes, lava channels, dikes, lavas from light felsic flows to viscid red lavas and black obsidian blocks, ochre plains of sandy alluvial deposits and red and black volcanic ejecta, scoria, lapilli and pumice, from a long series of basaltic effusions. They form the most varied collection known of volcanic structures, forms and detritus. The rocky soil is droughty but nutrient- and mineral-rich, and of many colors, in one place, Los Azulejos, greenish in cast. Under the intense sunlight the harsh red-brown desertic colouring streaked with basalt and, in season, bright with flowers, are very striking.

CLIMATE

The island exists between warm temperate and subtropical zones. The mean annual temperature is 20^oC, with lows below -15^oC in winter and highs above 30^oC in summer with extreme diurnal oscillations of more than 15^oC. Overall the climate of gentle winters and dry summers is mellowed by the cold Canarian current but a thermal inversion and the mountain’s height isolates it from marine influences, and Las Cañadas has a harsh climate; freeze-thaw processes near the summit create active periglacial forms. Annual precipitation is below 500mm, with more than half falling in winter, a third of it as snow which can last many months. A layer of cloud often hangs between 1,700-and 1,800m. The insolation is the highest in Spain which, with the low humidity and high atmospheric pressure, create an exceptionally limpid atmosphere. The mountain’s location in a high pressure zone gives it atmospheric stability and constant winds throughout the year, but mostly in summer. The prevailing tradewinds blow from the northeast. Westerly storm winds can reach up to 200 km/h. Southern winds are linked with invasions of hot Saharan air.

VEGETATION

The vascular flora of the National Park numbers 220 species, 74 mosses, 8 liverworts and 100 lichens which are often the dominant vegetation. Sincebits protection as a National Park it has recovered 0overgrazingTwo tree species occur: an occasional isolated Canary Island cedar Juniperus cedrus or Canary Island pine Pinus canariensis. Many of the 36 plants endemic to Tenerife are found in the Park and 16 are endemic to the Park itself, This high endemism is the result of adaptive radiation accelerated by the mountain’s oceanic and altitudinal isolation and dryness acting on a flora which has conserved paleo-endemic species. Its most representative ecosystems are highland scrub and the peak ecosystem, both rich in species adapted to the rigours of high altitude: cushion form, protected leaves and high flower production. There is a mosaic of unsynchronised primary ecological succession related to successive lava flows and the slowness of plant growth in the cold dry conditions. Consumption by goats and wood-collectors has favoured plants which re-sprout over those sexually reproduced. Due to the proximity to Africa, its unique level phytogenetic diversity is close to that of continental ecosystems and it has the most diverse high-mountain ecosystem of any Atlantic island. It exemplifies well how evolutionary forces can affect the flora and fauna of high ocean mountains.

The species endemic to the mountain include its two most representative species, sticky broom Adenocarpus viscosus and the widespread Teide white broom Spartocytisus supranubius, also Teide violet Viola cheiranthifolia, which grows up to the summit, Teide edelweiss Gnaphalium teydeum, dwarf bugloss Echium auberianum, the thistle Stemmacantha cynaroides and the Teide catmint Nepeta teydia var.albiflora. Other Canary Island endemics are shrubby scabious Pterocephalus lasiospermus, Teide daisy Argynanthemum teneriffae, red bugloss Echium wildpretti, flixweed Descurainia bourgeauana and D. lemsii, Canary Island wallflower Erisimon scoparius and Canary Island wall lettuce Tolpis webbii. A few kilometres outside the Park and summit area, congenerics found include the legume Adenocarpus foliosus, the bugloss Echium virescens and the daisy Argynantemum frutescens. Through colonization, the endemic Stemmacantha cynaroides is the only Canarian representative of a taxon found in the Atlas Mountains. Some characteristic endemics exclusive to the Park, such as Caňadas rockrose Helianthemum juliae, Teide edelweiss Gnaphalium teydeum or the thistle Stemmacantha cynaroides number only 200 specimens; of others, like the endemic Teide burnet Bencomia exstipulata, there are barely 60 specimens – almost 75% of the natural specimens of this species grow on the summits of Tenerife and La Palma. In addition to this floristic diversity, the Park has a noticeable number of vegetation units that generally define most of the habitats crucial to the conservation of biodiversity. Using the Council of Europe’s Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora, the National Park has eleven Community Interest habitats which occupy 75% of its surface area.

FAUNA

The native vertebrate fauna of 29 species is not extensive: 5 bats, and 3 reptiles plus 5 introduced species: mouflon Ovis gmelini musimon, introduced for the hunt in 1970, Algerian hedgehog Atelerix algiris, rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, house mouse and black rat. The bats include the Tenerife long eared bat Plecotus teneriffae (EN), a Canary Islands endemic, Madeira Pipistrelle Pipistrellus maderensis (EN), endemic to Madeira and the Canaries and the commonest species, lesser noctule Nyctalus leisleri. The endemic reptiles are the Tenerife lizard Gallotia galloti galloti, the rarer Tenerife wall gecko Tarentola delalandii, endemic to Tenerife and La Palma, and west Canary skink Chalcides viridanus viridanus.

Only 16 birds are recorded, most noticeable among them being the blue chaffinch Fringilla teydea teydea, the wild canary Serinus canaria, Berthelot´s pipit Anthus berthelotii berthelotii, the commonest bird, kestrel Falco tinnunculus canariensis, long eared owl Asio otus canariensis and Barbary partridge Alectoris barbara. However, in the lava crevices at least a 1,000 species of invertebrates. 71 are found exclusively in the National Park and 49% are endemic. 25 species endemic to the island are adapted to life in volcanic tube caves, four being found only in a single cave.

CONSERVATION VALUE

This iconic shield volcano combines a severely beautiful landscape composed of a great variety of long-studied volcanic features with uncommon altitude-adapted endemic flora and invertebrate fauna. The high unpolluted location makes it a natural laboratory for astrophysical research and for monitoring global atmospheric pollution and climatic change. The Park lies within a Conservation International-designated Conservation Hotspot, a WWF Global 200 Eco-region, is an IMO-designated Particularly Sensitive Sea area (PSSA) and is protected under the EU Habitats and Birds Directives.

CULTURAL HERITAGE

The original population, dating back at least 2,000 years, was a people named the Guanches, conquered by the Spanish in the late 15^th century, who left some evidence of huts, pottery and wooden and obsidian tools and to whom the mountain had religious significance. To the Greco-Roman world it was the zero-point of their coordinate system. In the Renaissance it was thought to be the world’s highest mountain and became an important reference point in transatlantic navigation which brought it much scientific attention. A 1664 expedition from London was written up in the first number of the Royal Society’s Proceedings. Toricelli’s barometer was tested there, and vegetation layering with altitude was described there by von Humboldt in 1799. It became a literary and scientific icon and was much studied by eminent western European scientists, especially after von Buch’s description of the islands in 1815 which initiated modern vulcanology.

LOCAL HUMAN POPULATION

The local people have traditionally gathered the mountain’s natural resources, firewood and dry culm, snow, sulphur and pumice, wildflowers and coloured soils for ornament, pastured their flocks and hived their bees there in summer and till the mid 20^th century, made charcoal. Some of these occupations still occur, under regulation. Only three people live within the Park at present.

VISITORS AND VISITOR FACILITIES

In the last decades of the 19th Century Teide became one of the first nature geo-tourism centers with the construction of the Altavista Refuge at 3,270m specifically for ecotourism (now reconstructed, with 60 beds). Now, there are about 3.5 million tourists a year, making it one of the most visited volcanoes in the world. Visitors are channelled through two educational programs: a Regulated Education program for scientists and a Public Use program served by a network of facilities and equipment, with guided tours for the public, educational lectures and school tours, training tours and environmental workshops. There are visitors’ centres at the Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide hotel (Cañada Blanca) and at El Portillo which has a botanic garden of endemic plants and a fire and first aid station. There are also mountain refuges, several restaurants, a cable car with stations at 2,350m and 3,550m and a communications relay station. In addition to hiking, there are camping, climbing, caving and bike tours. The Park Service runs the educational Muñoz Nature Activities center just outside the Park.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND FACILITIES

Following the early work of von Humboldt, von Buch and Lyell, an enormous amount of vulcanological research has been done and is still carried out – into volcanic seismic activity, earthquakes, palaeomagnetism and the collection of geo-chronological data. It is a natural laboratory for atmospheric studies which started in the 1850s with Piazzi Smyth’s observations, followed more recently by studies of ultraviolet light and the structure of trade winds. Due to the clarity of its atmosphere, it remains important for astronomy. The endemic flora over the 2,000m elevational range was inventoried and primary ecological succession on the various lava flows in the extreme conditions has been monitored, extended by the 2,000m elevational range. The exceptional meteorological conditions of Las Cañadas led to the building of the Izana Astrophysical Laboratory at 2,400m by the Astrophysics Institute of the Canary Islands. It is a well-known nucleus for solar physical research, a principal North Atlantic centre for the measurement and monitoring of global atmospheric pollution and part of the Global Climate Change Monitoring Network.

MANAGEMENT

From 2007 on, the site will be managed by the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands. The appropriate organisations will classify all land in the area as non-buildable land under special protection, thus prohibiting all construction, except when the Patronage certifies it in the public interest. The harvesting of mountain resources is allowed under regulation, but the managing authorities will emplace measures to protect the terrain, flora, fauna, landscape, natural forests and waters and to limit the introduction of exotic animal or plants. Tourist numbers especially on the summit trails are limited and controlled. Under the 2002-2010 Management Plan, four management zones are confirmed: Reserve (6.7% of the area) for total protection mainly of the escarpment and craters, Restricted Use (68.3%) – full public but no unauthorised activity, vehicles or buildings, Moderate Use (24.7%) – more intensive public use permitted, and Special Use (0.3%) for service structures. Beyond the basic objectives of facilitating and regulating protection, research, recreation and public education, the plan aims to promote sustainable development programs to benefit the surrounding communities. Regular monitoring is done of threatened and critical plant populations, plant community coverage, mouflons, rabbits and introduced species, visitor numbers and requests for research.

MANAGEMENT CONSTRAINTS

The two main present threats to the Park are invasion by exotic species and the heavy pressure of tourism. 30 plant species, mostly associated with human waste, have been eradicated, and some areas fenced off from grazing animals. Of these, the mouflon is to be eradicated and the rabbits controlled. There are several Park-related structures which will remain but some houses will be demolished. Volcanic seismic activity is constantly monitored, and fire surveillance and fighters are on constant guard. The high visitor numbers are to be met by providing further visitor services and increasing controls in the field.

COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR SITES

The main bases for comparing the site with similar existing World Heritage sites on the grounds of outstanding universal value are:

(vii) The severe beauty of the varied, multicolored and well-preserved volcanic landscapes, the clear atmosphere with the peak rising high above clouds and the island, and the mosaic of its uncommon and altitude-adapted summit flora;

(viii) The importance of the geological processes seen in the abundant, varied and long-studied evidence, notably in the huge caldera, of the past explosive and effusive eruptions of a slow developing volcano over a static plate, which is of value to geologic research; the utility to science of its unpolluted location as a centre for research into solar physics, astro-physics and the measurement and monitoring of global atmospheric pollution and climatic change.

There is no other volcano in its biogeographic region although the undesignated Pico do Pico (2,342m high) in the Azores and Mt. Halla (1,950m) off South Korea have similarities. Of the existing 23 World Heritage volcanic sites, it is most comparable with the oceanic serial island shield volcanoes of Hawaii and the Galapagos, both of which formed over a static hot spot and have as many exceptional volcanic features as Teide though the large Galapagos islands group is much richer in endemic plants. The closely comparable Hawaiian volcanoes have a wide range of volcanic forms. But Teide’s lava is more felsic in composition and is quiescent, complementing the other very active basaltic sites. A secondary factor is the high degree of endemism of its flora and its great number of endemic invertebrates, including troglobitic fauna.

There are four shield volcanoes among the twelve volcanic island World Heritage sites: 2,745m snowbound Mt Mawson on Heard Island, and the Subantarctic islands off southern New Zealand (705m high) are climatically not very comparable, the subtropical Lord Howe Island seamount group off Australia (875m high) and cool temperate Inaccessible Island in the south Atlantic (600m high) have similarities but both are dormant and much eroded. Two nominated sites, the Prince Edward Islands off South Africa and Mt.Halla off South Korea are a quietly active shield volcanoes. Most of the other sites are associated with convergent plate subduction, occurring at and not between plate boundaries. These include the Aeolian Islands off Italy, an active historical textbook of vulcanology for 200 years (875m), Rakata on Krakatoa island (813m) which is too continuously active to be comparable; Morne Trois Pitons (1.220m) in the large island of Dominica and the stump-like peaks of the Pitons on St. Lucia (777m) are both centres of hydrothermic activity rather than volcanoes. MacQuarie Island off Australia is a low extruded ocean ridge (433m), St Kilda is an eroded rock. The caldera of Ngorongoro is vast but much weathered. Tectonic volcanoes too clustered in location to be closely comparable to Teide are the high shield volcanoes among the active peaks of glaciated Kamchatka, and some of the long-dormant forested ranges of Australia’s Central Eastern Rainforest. Not of shield origin are Tongariro in New Zealand, Sangay in Ecuador, the African Mounts Kahuzi, Biega, Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira in Virunga National Park; and the grand solitary massifs of Mounts Kenya and Kilimanjaro.

There appear to be no comparable high volcanic World Heritage sites on oceanic islands, considering its rich, explicit and well studied display of volcanic history as a shield volcano, together with a huge caldera and rare flora and fauna, except for its counterpart in the Pacific. It is accessible, beautiful, a serious centre of scientific research, and likely to be well maintained despite high visitation.

STAFF

There is a staff of 11 permanent and 12 contracted workers: 4 technicians, 7 office workers, 6 park rangers and environmental agents, 3 maintenance and 3 cleaners. Private contractors supplement this staff with 114 other workers in the same fields, especially for cleaning and maintenance. The permanent staff receive both professional and work training.

BUDGET

From the national Ministry of the Environment via the Autonomous Regional authority. In 2005 this sum was E4,880,882 (US\$6,424,900). Specific Park projects are also separately funded.

Visit Teide National Park, Tenerife

Visit Teide National Park

Teide National Park is a stunning national park surrounding Mount Teide in the centre of Tenerife. Mount Teide in the park is an active volcano though it hasn’t errupted since 1909. Teide National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the most visited national park in Europe.

Explore Teide National Park

Mount Teide is a volcano within a volcano. Millions of years ago a volcano exploded and left behind a 16km-wide crater and, on its northern edge, a smaller volcano – Mount Teide. The whole area is now a weird volcanic landscape filled with lava rocks, lava streams and ash beds.

Teide National Park is very beautiful as well as being very unusual and should be at the top of everyones to-do list when visiting Tenerife.

The crater is edged by a craggy rim known as La Caldera de las Canadas. These rocks have been erroded into very interesting rocky structures. Even more weirdly shaped are the lava rocks called the Roques de Garcia. One of these, the Cinchado, appears in many photos of the park. The Cinchado is more erroded at the base than the top giving the impression that this huge rock will topple at any moment. The view of the Cinchado with Mount Teide behind it is one of the highlights of the park.

As well as some wonderful rock formations the Teide National Park is home to the wonderful tall Echium wildprettii also known as Teide viper’s bugloss. These amazing plants have 2m tall reddish spikes in early summer. May/June is the best time of the year to see many of Teide’s plants in flower.

A single road crosses the crater, known as Las Canadas and this leads to a Parador and a cable car. The cable car takes you close to the summit of Mount Teide and offers great views of the surrounding park. A forty minute fairly strenuous hike takes you from the cable car to the crater. If you want to hike to the top you have to apply beforehand for a licence which is valid for one day only. Visit the Reservas de Parques Nacionales website for a licence. The licence is free but we recommend that you reserve in good time as numbers are limited.

The summit of Mount Teide is at 3718 metres making it the tallest mountain in Spain. Mount Teide is also the third tallest volcano in the world. There are two visitor centres in the park with lots of information about how the dramatic landscape came about and there is a restaurant and bar. There is also an observatory, the Observatorio del Teide, on the east side of the park.

If you want to really have the chance to explore the surreal landscape then a stay at the Parador de Canadas del Teide is not to be missed. It is set right in the park very close to the Roques de Garcia. If you want to stay in the park but pay a bit less then the Altavista refuge at an altitude of over 3000 meters could be what you are looking for.

Teide National Park was voted one of the twelve wonders of Spain in a national TV and radio competition in 2007. It is the most visited national park in Spain and Europe and the 8th most visited in the world. If you are visiting Tenerife without a car there are buses from Costa Adeje and Puerto de la Cruz.

Weather conditions in Teide National Park are more extreme than for the rest of the island and in winter snow falls on the peak of Mount Teide and in summer temperatures can reach 40°C and more.

Places to visit nearby

As Park Teide is at the centre of the island it is a similar distance to most of the coastal towns. If you are enjoying the natural landscape of Tenerife you will no doubtt also enjoy a visit to Masca and the Teno mountains.

Helpful Tips for Hiking Trails in El Teide National Park

Have you ever wanted a chance to visit the Moon?

We got one sooner than we ever thought we would, at El Teide National Park in Tenerife, Spain.

After several days in Tenerife at Nine Coliving, we had seen several colonial towns and a few beach towns, and it was time to switch it up completely.

So, we had heard about El Teide and how it would feel like we had left the seaside towns completely. The rumors were not wrong: El Teide is a volcanic national park on Tenerife.

It is home to the El Teide volcano, which is the highest point in Spain and all its islands. Keep in mind that the Canary Islands are a volcanic archipelago, and the landscapes vary from volcanic beaches to forest to rocky terrain and deserts.

According to our Lonely Planet guidebook, four million people visit El Teide National Park per year.

Here’s a fact about El Teide: El Teide has not erupted since the late 1700s, which makes it a pretty safe place to visit even though the volcano is considered active.

The landscape is absolutely unique and should be on your essential list of places to visit during a trip to Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Here’s a list of tips for visiting El Teide National Park while you’re touring the Canary Islands.

Go on your own, via public bus, to El Teide National Park.

El Teide is located in the center of the island of Tenerife, which makes sense, because Tenerife itself is a volcanic island.

To get to El Teide National Park, you can take a private tour through various operators, drive your own rented car or take the public bus.

We chose to take the public bus. This is a great idea, for keeping your travel budget in check.

The national park itself is so relatively high up that it’s above both the cloud line and the tree line.

The park surrounding the peak on all sides is considered to look lunar because it’s devoid of trees, totally dry and has lava rocks.

How to find the public bus to El Teide in Tenerife

We started the morning by heading off to the bus station in La Orotava for the one daily bus to El Teide.

The public buses go up once and down once per day, so… you had better not miss the one going down! We took the 348 bus from La Orotava.

It comes daily at 9:45 a.m. (definitely check local schedules for where you are staying) and departs from the El Teide visitors center at 4 p.m. again for going down.

Hike on your own, instead of getting cable car tickets.

When we got off the bus at the main visitors center (the last stop on the bus), lots of people were waiting in line for the cable car up to the higher points on the mountain.

For the cable car, you’ll want to first see if the cable car is open on the day of your day trip, and then, check ticket prices.

As of when we visited the Canary Islands, the tourist cable car ride cost 26 EUR (US$30) per person, and takes you to a part of the mountain where you can see the ocean and more islands.

That is pretty epic! Honestly, Teide is one of the coolest places in all of Spain for being so high, so unique and so other-worldly.

If you want to summit, well… only 150 people per day are allowed up past the cable car level, and permits are given out ahead of time and have to be reserved online.

That means that, despite the weather, you have to know well in advance that you’re going if you want to get to the top of Teide, where it can be pretty cold! Bundle up with some jackets and layers in your packing list.

Start your (free) hike in the desert with some walking routes

According to what we saw, it seems that not so many people are opting to walk down to the trails for some lunar scenery.

Without much prior research, we chose to take a trail called Montaña Blanca, a total 3.6 km (2.23 miles).

When we started, the sky was still clear and blue and we could see colors in the landscape.

Also, we were some of the only people around. That was pretty cool: a private national park.

We took some of the most memorable photos from our trip at El Teide, mostly because we had the place to ourselves on the desert walking routes that most people had no interest in trying.

Take in the desert ecosystem and wildlife at Teide.

The desert scenery went from shrubbery to rockier, and by the end we were walking over very porous volcanic rocks that felt crunchy.

We started at 11:25 a.m., and stopped a lot for photos.

It was a good thing, too, because on our way back, the sun was at its highest in the sky, making everything look kind of colorless and shadow-less and flat, and that was when dust started rolling in and the sky got kind of gray and heavy-looking.

The walking trail route ended at the road and it was clear that the route didn’t end at the Montaña Blanca itself, but at a lookout point for Montaña Blanca, and a continued hiking trail with a different name.

This was a bit disillusioning for us, but we were glad that the first half of the hike had been interesting.

We turned back to go to the visitors center to cool off and wait for the bus back!

Actually, we were so hot, covered it dust, sweaty and dehydrated we couldn’t wait to step back into the visitors center and just sit for a while.

For this reason, we really recommend coming prepared with several water bottles and maybe a sports drink, along with some snacks that will not melt.

Keep in mind that we went to El Teide in August, which was pretty temperate all around Tenerife in terms of weather and climate, but Teide is a desert on its own and has its own set of weather standards to expect.

Come prepared with packing essentials for hiking El Teide

Helpful Tip

Bring two water bottles, per person. The stifling heat combined with the sun, the dust and the three hours we spent hiking caused us to ration water, and we wish we had more so that we were not so parched by the end. Bring snacks, too! There is nowhere to buy anything once you leave the visitors center.

We also suggest bringing a travel-sized mini sunscreen. You will be glad you did. You wouldn’t want to burn your skin off on El Teide and be a wreck for the rest of your trip in the Canary Islands!

We usually don’t bring it with us, but we are thankful that we had sunscreen for this hike, as there was no shade (at all!) and nowhere to rest that was out of the sun.

Lastly, hiking boots are helpful, as the trails are dry and rocky and slipping can happen. See more about which shoes to pack for a trip, here.

Plan out the rest of your trip in Tenerife and the Canary Islands.

As we mentioned above, we spent some time in a beautiful town called La Orotava, staying at a lovely coliving called Nine Coliving right in the center of town.

Some places we liked in other parts of the island and nearby were Puerto de la Cruz, La Laguna and Playa Los Gigantes.

If you plan to travel to another island, see our guide for what to know before road tripping in Gran Canaria. Enjoy!

4.50 Malta – 27-Jan-20 –

I visited this WHS in January 2020. I travelled around this WHS by rental car over 2 days using Guía de Isora as my base for 4 nights. This was quite convenient to explore different areas of the Teide NP while at the same time being close to Los Cristianos ferry terminal and South Tenerife Airport.

I had very high expectations for this WHS and I must say I definitely wasn’t disappointed. It is a very well kept national park with free access, free parking, free visitor centres and a free botanical garden! The only time I had to pay was for the return Teleferico to the very top (27 eur) which is not at all necessary to still enjoy the OUV of this WHS.

During my visit I was blessed with beautiful sunny weather with temperatures varying from 1-23 degrees Celsius (depending on the altitude). Make sure to check the Teide weather report as it is quite possible to have completely different weather around Teide compared to the rest of Tenerife (most of the time you’re likely to be above any cloud cover on Tenerife when visiting Teide NP). Moreover, at night and very early in the morning, it can snow quite a lot, so much so that the main roads can be closed at any given time should the authorities deem this necessary.

Over the course of 2 days, I stopped at practically all the several viewpoints or miradores along the TF-21 and the TF-38 main roads going through and around the Teide NP. At the beginning of both main road, on either direction, there are UNESCO WHS markers (no inscription plaque yet though). Each mirador has a number of different information boards bearing the UNESCO symbol.

The TF-38 main road is by far the busiest in terms of traffic but at no time of the day did I feel the place was overcrowded. The only place where later on in the day, parking and bus loads of tourist groups may be an issue, is at the Roques de Garcia Mirador and La Ruleta parking. Here there’s a visitor centre under restoration or under construction and an expensive parador for those who want to actually sleep at the WHS proper. If you visit early in the morning, parking will be quite easy, however even if you visit later on in the day, there are a number of minor miradores or parking points on the side of the road just before the Roques de Garcia mirador. In fact, if you like hiking, I would recommend parking your car at the Mirador Llano de Ucanca (or even Mirador Boca Tauce if you’re in for a long return hike) and hiking to Roque Chincado and Roques de Garcia.

At Mirador Boca Tauce, you’ll be able to see 2 different types of lava flows from Pico Viejo: AA lava which is quite sharp and jagged and Pahoehoe lava which is much smoother. The Llano de Ucanca is now a sedimentary plain of what was possibly a temporary lake. The variety of landscapes here, together with the breathtaking view of the Teide volcano, make this a highlight of the national park which shouldn’t be missed. Just before getting to the colourful hydrothermal alterations of Los Azulejos, you’ll be able to gaze at the famous Roques de Garcia (already at an elevation of around 2070m). Most people reaching the Mirador Roques de Garcia will immediately head uphill thinking they’ll be able to get a decent shot above Roque Chincado. However, the hike up has been chained off half-way as a safety precaution I suppose, so the best photos in my opinion can be taken just a few steps after the first big rock formation or from the Sendero 3 and 23 hiking trails. With a bit of luck and patience, you’ll definitely be able to spot a lot of birds here such as the Canary Island Kestrel, Betherlot’s pipit or Southern Grey Shrike.

These incredible rock formations are actually called phonolytic and bifurcated dykes, that is channels from where the magma that fed the different eruptions which took place over time flowed up from. These rocks, which once lay very deep underground, were exposed when the area of Las Canadas was formed. From then onwards, these rocks have been worn away by erosion. The most famous rock is probably Roque Chincado. Its base is disintegrating more quickly than the upper part and eventually it will collapse under its own weight (perhaps this is why in a way it reminded me of the Azure Window which once stood in Dwejra, Gozo).

After quite a longish but satisfying hike, upon returning to the Mirador Llano de Ucanca, I crossed the road and hiked a bit upwards to view another peculiar rock formation known as Zapatilla de la Reina, which can easily be overlooked since you have to give your back to the splendid view of the Teide volcano to notice it.

One of the best miradores and hiking trails on the TF-38 main road, is definitely Mirador Samara. The volcanic cone of the Samara volcano has an interesting crater formed by a single eruption of pyroclasts, i.e. volcanic debris ejected into the air during an eruption. This mountain forms part of the most recent area of volcanic activity in Tenerife. Volcanic bombs can also be observed and on the summit there are nuanced mixtures of colours caused by oxidation. The hiking trail from this mirador allows you to walk among different volcanoes, namely the volcanic cone of the Samara volcano, and the Teide and Pico Viejo volcanoes, in a lovely Canarian pine forest landscape which is slowly taking over the black landscape of Narices del Teide and Los Regatones Negros.

At El Portillo, there’s a small visitor centre showing a very interesting video on the Teide national park, and a botanical garden which is always open. It’s a great place to spot the beautiful Tenerife blue chaffinch or Pinzon Azul, other finches and woodpeckers. Make sure you follow the Ruta Pinar de la Cumbre loop while walking around the botanical garden.

Close to the Pico del Teide, I was surprised and really happy to spot a flowering Tajinaste Rojo, so remarkable for its spectacular profusion of red flowers usually in Spring. This plant became very rare some 30 years ago when it was commonly eaten by livestock. However, since the banning of livestock grazing in the national park, the species has since recovered. The Tajinaste Rojo shoots can grow as high as 2 metres and around the park I could see several shoot ‘skeletons’. Much of Teide’s flora adapted to the harsh environment by reducing the size of the leaves, reducing the surface area to maintain constant temperature and humidity within its interior, generating a wax layer over the leaves to reduce water loss, seeking shelter in fissures and small ledges, growing for long periods underground, etc.

All in all, I really enjoyed this great WHS in Tenerife. Judging by how the rest of Tenerife developed and is developing, it certainly is a good thing that the Teide NP has been protected from early on. From all the volcano WHS I visited so far, this must be one of the best, and as a national park it really is world class in terms of size and quality (although I’m really looking forward to visit Yellowstone in the future to be able to compare).

4.00 UK – 07-Jul-19 –

Fascinating place on the tourist island of Tenerife. About a 2 hour coach ride up from the seaside resorts. It has moonscape like elements and lots of rock formations around the slopes of the giant volcano. There is a cable car to the top of the volcano from the coach park on the higher slopes, or you can walk up if brave.

Unique environment for plants and insects at such a high altitude with the volcano rising directly from the ocean.

We booked a coach tour from our hotel but you could easily hire a car and drive up as you would have more time to explore and not have 50 people following you in a group.

Tip: take warm clothing as it can be very cold and windy at the top even if it is scorching down in the resorts!

4.50 Czechia – 25-Dec-18 –

I visited Tenerife in January 2011. I have great memmories on it, because it was a special trip when me and my friend crossed a half of the island by walk overnighting in the wild nature. I am pretty sure that it was not completely legal in National Park. I am also sure that it will never happen to me again, because I am getting older prefering hotels and not prefering heavy backpacks anymore… So, it was a unique experience in all aspects.

We walked from Vilaflor located near the southern edge of Teide caldera. It was for the first time I was in the vulcanic landscape, and I cannot describe properly how I felt when have been climbing Guajara mountain, seeing Teide mountain and the entire caldera for the first time. We refused using “teleferico” to reach the summit of Teide and walked towards Refugio de Altavista, where we have pre-booked an accommodation by phone. We could not climbed the peak because of ice plates that might be dangerous. Then, we walked to the east to Cumbre Dorsal mountain range.

What I loved was all the contrasts: blue sky vs. black basalt rocks such as Huevos del Teide vs. ochre or red soil; sunny days vs. freeze of night; Moon-like landscape vs. green pine forests outside the caldera vs. blue ocean. Furthermore, the color shades of rocks within the caldera changed during the day.

To conclude: Teide National Park embodies one of the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen.

Belgium – 16-Dec-16 –

We visited Teide National Park for two days in the autumn.

The first day we went to the ‘Roques de Garcia’, already mentioned in Els’ and Hubert’s reviews. We can confirm that during the 3.5km walk, at some points it’s easy to lose track of the path. Just keep looking for the small ‘stone towers’ which indicate the correct way.

The second day we got up early to climb Mount Teide. The best way to do this is to start from the small parking located around kilometer 40 on road TF-21. The trail is about 9km (one way) and first leads you along Montaña Blanca and the impressive ‘Huevos del Teide’ (lava ‘cannonballs’ from the eruption of the vulcano).

After some time you will reach the base of Mount Teide. When we visited, the whole track (from the start) was covered with snow which made the way up Mount Teide somewhat difficult. The trail ends at ‘La Rambleta’ at about 3.500m, which is also the place where you will arrive if you make use of the cable car.

For the last 200-300m to the top, you need a permit. We disposed of such permit (it can be requested online and is free of charge) but because of the snow the summit was closed. However, even from La Rambleta the view is stunning – on the picture you can see Pico Viejo and the island of La Gomera.

As mentioned below, note that at 3.500m it’s much colder than at sea level and that some people can start experiencing altitude sickness.

4.00 The Netherlands – 03-Jan-15 –

When I told my colleagues that I would be visiting Tenerife during the New Year’s holiday, they thought that I finally had succumbed to a relaxing beach vacation. They were surprised to hear that it would put me within reach of 3 WHS. Those that had been to Tenerife themselves all offered “El Teide” as the island’s most likely WH candidate.

The Teide WHS is a volcanic landscape that actually covers two peaks (Pico Viejo and Teide), of which the latter is the most iconic. I already enjoyed good views of it from the plane while approaching Tenerife Norte Airport, and from the top of the Garajonay on La Gomera.

Teide NP is part of our infamous “One million visitors or more”- connection. Visitor numbers have actually been dwindling over the past 5 years (due to the economic crisis?). Still, it can get very busy up there, and I used Hubert’s excellent advice on how early to start out. I left my hotel in Granadilla at 7.30 a.m. When I arrived at the park some 45 minutes later, it was almost freezing cold (+2.5 Celsius) but I had the place to myself. Just wonderful.

I stopped at a few Miradores, watching the sunrise. Comparisons to the moon have been made, but the landscape looked more like Southwestern USA to me. It’s not that barren: tough plants cover large parts of the ground. The most prominent spot here at the southern side of the park is the Roques de Garcia. This is a series of strangely shaped rocks, the erosional remnants of an earlier version of the volcano. There’s a 3.5 km long trail that loops around them. Although the temperature left me with very cold hands, I opted to do this medium-level hike and see the rocks up and close.

The path starts out easy but gets more tricky halfway. You actually walk along the back-side of the rocks. I even got lost a bit, I was starting to scramble up a hill when I saw 2 people approaching from the other side showing the right path. The real climb is left to the end, a switchback trail all the way up to the main viewpoint again. That trail is where I got the best views, including that of the photo right above.

After the hike, I drove down the road that cross-sects the park. There are a couple more viewpoints, but none I found as spectacular as the Roques. I already had decided beforehand to forego the cable car ride to the top. The visitor center “El Portillo” at the northern end of the park turned out to be closed on January 1st. It was free to enter the attached botanical gardens though, where I was immediately attracted to another view of the Teide.

Teide NP entered the WH List in 2007, at the same session as Korea’s Jeju Island. This sparked a debate if there weren’t enough volcanoes on the list already (“including several properties whose inscription was justified on the basis of arguments that are considered by a number of experts to be rather narrow”). The Committee requested IUCN to do a Thematic Study. The results were publicized in 2009: although most types of volcanic features were considered well-represented, some gaps were still identified.

Since 2009 several new volcanic sites have been added to the List (Pitons of Réunion, Ogasawara Islands, Mt. Etna and Mt. Fuji for example) – not the ones that would fill any lacunes. And although the IUCN study does criticize the “the haphazard process of site selection and nomination of World Heritage properties by State Parties”, it doesn’t dare to say which of the already inscribed ones are superfluous. No doubt has ever been cast about El Teide: its height, age (over 3.5 million years) and gigantic caldera (a term that originated here) justify its inscription.

3.50 Austria – 29-Feb-12 –

In November 2007, we spent one week on Tenerife to escape the cold weather in Austria. We visited the Mount Teide National Park as a day trip from our accommodation at the south-west coast. We started early in the morning (at 7am) with our rental car in order to avoid the large tour buses, which start between 8 and 9 am from all major tourist centres. Another reason to get up early is that in the morning the air is clearer and the view is better, in the afternoon the Teide summit could often be hidden by clouds.

We took the road via Guia de Isora and arrived at the National Park after about 1. 5 hours. The route is very interesting, you drive from sea level to 2,300 meters through different vegetation zones. First everything is green and colourful, we drove through banana plantations, followed by pine forests, and finally we arrived at the caldera Las Canadas, where rocks and solidified lava flows predominate. It reminded me of pictures from the Moon or Mars. Early in the morning we were almost alone on the road, so that we could stop everywhere to look around and to take pictures.

The most popular and most spectacular viewing point is the Roques de Garcia, opposite are a Hotel Parador and an information centre. The Roques are bizarre, unique rock formations. Plenty of needle-shaped rocks of different colours stand one after another at a length of several hundred meters. The rocks consist of different layers from various eruptions. And you have a beautiful view over the caldera with Mount Teide in the background (photo: Roque Chinchado). Starting at the visitor centre, we hiked along a well-marked path for about 2 hours through the lava field. I was surprised how varied this “moonscape” is: lots of red and brown colour tones, bizarre rock formations, and all together with a bright blue sky. When we returned from our hike, we were glad that we got up so early. The parking lot at the Roques was crowded with cars and tour buses.

A few kilometres further, a side road leads to the base station of the cable car to Mount Teide. But we drove on to the northern end of the National Park without a ride to the summit. The cable car ends at an observation deck, the summit is inaccessible without permission. Approval is given only in the main office of the National Park Service in the capital Santa Cruz. We came to many more interesting places that were worth a brief stop: beautiful views of the caldera and the Teide and places where you can see endemic plants like Tenerife bugloss or broom.

All in all, it was a rewarding trip to an exceptional landscape. If you are on Tenerife, you should not miss the Teide National Park.

.

This is one of the 14th Spanish National Parks and it is located in the island of Tenerife. It comprises the Mount Teide, highest mountain in Spain, and some areas around it.

I did not try to climb the Mount Teide till the top when I was there but it does not seem to be a very hard task. Just take into account that the summit is at almost 4000 meters therefore lack of oxygen can be a problem. You should also take into account that all the territory of the National Park is over 2000 meters high therefore weather can be quite different than in the rest of the island.

Landscape in Teide National Park is vulcanic and there are some endemic plants living there. Inside the Park there is one Parador, that would be a very good choice to stay as hotels of this group are among the best and most charming ones in the country.

Teide National Park

ARTICLES

Teide, view from the observation deck in the Las Cañadas Valley

Teide Volcano is the main attraction of Tenerife and the Canary Islands. Its height is 3718 meters above sea level. This is the highest point in Spain and in the Atlantic Ocean in general.

The peak itself and the vast area around it form a unique natural complex, which in 1954 was given the status of a National Park. In 2007, Teide Park was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and was recognized as one of the 12 Wonders of Spain.

The magnificence and power of Teide is hard to describe. It’s really better to see it once. This alien landscape has been created for thousands of years. Erupting time after time, Teide grew, and its slopes were covered with crests of multi-colored lava, which sometimes resembles a storm frozen in stone.

Climbing the volcano, you find yourself in an unknown land, where clouds of lush feather bed lie under your feet, a fierce sun shines in the sky, and the air changes its smell and taste. There are many hiking trails for the most indefatigable, but even a simple walk is impressive and etched into the memory, this stone element turns out to be so amazing for the eyes, like a crown surrounded by delicate fluffy pines.

Teide area. View in the area of one of the scenic hiking trails.

Teide in the era of the Guanches

Before the Spanish conquest (1496), the territory of Tenerife was divided into 9 principalities (menseyats), located along the perimeter of the island. But the peak itself and its surroundings (the modern zone of the Teide Park) were not included in any of these principalities and were considered common land. Here, the Guanches amicably grazed goats and sheep and mined obsidian (volcanic glass), which was used to produce simple tools.

Las Cañadas Valley in winter. It often snows here at this time of the year.

It was also a sacred place. The Guanches believed that the evil demon Guayota lived in the volcano. Of course, this belief was associated with eruptions of the peak.

By the way, in the memory of the Spaniards, Teide itself did not erupt. One of the last eruptions close to the top of Teide was recorded in 1492, even Christopher Columbus testified to it, who at that time was just sailing towards the future America and stopped on the island of La Gomera on the way. And then the volcano Boca Cangrejo erupted.

Geology and formation

Teide is a young volcano by geological standards. The peak began to form 170,000 years ago, while the age of the surrounding mountain ranges – Anagi, Teno and Adeje – dates back 15-20 million years. At some point, violent volcanic activity led to a rather rapid growth of the peak, but it also ensured the instability of the volcanic building. As a result, there was a grandiose landslide, and part of the island simply slid into the sea. Thanks to this event (about 150,000 years ago), an amphitheater with a diameter of 17 kilometers was formed, which we today know as Las Cañadas del Teide. Inside this ancient crater, the modern peak of Teide grew, rising almost 1500 meters above it.

View from the top of Teide to the eastern part of the island.

In the valley of Las Cañadas is the most visited viewpoint on Teide, from where you can see the old crater. And next to it are the famous Roques de García – bizarrely shaped rocks, the remains of a partition that once separated the mouth of an ancient peak.

Flora

Despite the desert “Martian” landscape, Teide Park has about 170 species of various plants. Of these, 58 are endemic to the Canary Islands, and 12 are generally found only on the Teide and nowhere else in the world.

Tajinaste (Wildpret’s bruise (lat. Echium wildpretii , Spanish tajinaste rojo ) during flowering: the second half of spring – early summer. The plant is resistant to drought and at the same time withstands temperatures down to -15 degrees Celsius.

The most characteristic of these are the retama shrub and tahinaste.During the flowering season, approximately from late April to June, the slopes of the volcano are covered with white caps of flowering retama and bright scarlet cones of tahinaste.Both of these plants are powerful honey plants, from which the industrious Tenerife bees (black bee is also an exclusively local species) make excellent honey (and most importantly, unique). 0013

Interesting facts

At the end of the 19th century, astronomical research began in the Las Cañadas zone. The first observatory on the Teide was opened by the Germans at the beginning of the 20th century, but it did not last long due to the outbreak of the First World War. However, already in 1916, the Spanish government opened the Izaña meteorological observatory, which still exists today. In 1960, the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands was established on the basis of the observatory.

B 19In 59, the Parador Hotel, the highest branch of the famous royal hotel chain, was built on the Teide.

The cable car – Teleférico del Teide – was launched in 1971.

The film Clash of the Titans and several episodes of the cult series Doctor Who were filmed on Teide. In 2018, the filming of The Eternals with Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek was planned, but in the end, the management of the Teide Park did not allow the filming, as they could negatively affect the ecosystem.

Teide National Park in Tenerife

Teide National Park is the largest and oldest of all Canarian parks. It combines a fantastic rocky landscape and a huge volcanic complex. The Teide complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most visited national park in Europe with more than 3 million tourists a year.

The highest peak in Spain, the dormant stratovolcano Teide (3718 m), has been a landmark for navigators since time immemorial. The volcano is alive, although its last eruption was in 1909. In fact, Mount Teide is a volcano inside the crater of a volcano: millions of years ago, a huge volcano erupted, after which a 16-kilometer crater remained, in the north of which the “small” Teide volcano is located. Nearby is the second highest mountain in Tenerife – Pico Viejo (3135 m).

Down from the summit are the flat lands of Cañadas del Teide, where the Guanches, the original inhabitants of the island, used to live. In this valley, one can still see flat lava fields and caves. There is a completely unique flora and fauna here: for example, guancha roses grow in the valley and Teide blue finches fly. Below 2000 meters the park is covered with magnificent pine forests.

The crater is framed by the rocks of La Caldera de las Canadas. One of the park’s main attractions is the Cinchado stone, which looks like it’s about to fall.

On the east side of the park is the Observatorio del Teide at an altitude of 2390 meters above sea level. The best European solar telescopes are located here, including the GREGOR with a 1.5 m objective lens.81.

Best time to visit and other recommendations

The most convenient way to get to Teide Park is by renting a car. Of course, on vacation you don’t want to wake up early – but go to the volcano at dawn, you won’t regret it. You will remember what you saw for the rest of your life! In addition, it will be simply easier to find a free parking space.

In Tenerife, the weather conditions in the park are more extreme than on the rest of the island: in winter the peak is covered with snow, and in summer the temperature in the valley exceeds 40 °C. At the same time, under direct sunlight, the air at the peak instantly heats up to 15-20 ° C.

More than 20 routes are marked on the territory.

Detailed route map of Teidere Park, Tenerife.

Most popular hiking trails:

Ascent to Pico Viejo. The length of the route is about 14 km, and the elevation difference is 1000 m, the hike will take the whole day. The path starts from the Narices del Teide car park, the route is marked on the map with the number 9. First, you will go down along the black volcanic rock, here you will also come across rare shrubs. Then the ascent begins, and it passes through completely lunar landscapes. The route lies through the “nostrils of the Teide”, where the last great eruption of Pico Viejo took place. Get ready for a tedious climb up a cliff covered with volcanic sand.

Climbing the Teide. In order to see the island from the most beautiful vantage point, you will have to try hard! The route is well marked and not technically difficult, but from the car park you will gain approximately 1400 meters of altitude. Be careful – to climb to the top of the mountain, you need a permit. The permit is issued free of charge, but we recommend that you book it in advance on the Reservas Parques Nacionales website, as their number is limited.

Most tourists plan two days for the ascent, spend the night in the Altavista mountain shelter (3260 m) and reach the summit at dawn. If this plan is to your liking, book your overnight stay in advance on the official website, as the shelter is always full. To spend the night in a mountain refugio costs 21 €.

Please note that the mountain is 3718 meters high, which means you will experience symptoms of altitude sickness – take headache pills with you and drink plenty of water.

Samara route, No. 13. A small loop passes through a rarely visited, but very beautiful part of the park, where pine trees grow on volcanic sand. In addition, this area is located on the south side, which means that you can watch magnificent sunsets here from the top of Mirador de Samara.

The cable car to the top of Teide is open from 09:00 to 17:00, in summer until 19:00, the lift lasts 40 minutes. You can book a ticket in advance on the official website for €27 round trip.

Go to the gift shop near the cable car to buy a lava pendant or pendant.

How to get to Teidere Park?

By car:

from north, head south on TF24, then take exit 5 onto Carr. de la Esperanza;

from the south of the island and from Puerto de la Cruz – highway TF21. You can park at the bottom station of the cable car or at the largest car park in Roque de Garcia.

By public transport Tenerife : by bus – route number 342, Boca Tauce stop (from the south), or route number 348 (from the north). Unfortunately, these buses run once a day, early in the morning there and late in the evening back.

Teide National Park

Las Cañadas del Teide National Park is the largest of all the parks in the Canary archipelago. It has an area of 190 km2 and is located in the huge Las Cañadas caldera with the Teide volcano in the middle. Visitors to the park will be able to see here the craters and vents of small volcanoes, bizarre silhouettes of solidified lava, and will also be able to climb the Teide volcano.

Las Canadas Caldera Formation

1. At the initial stage between the Miocene and Pliocene, 3 volcanoes rose from the ocean: Teno (in the northwest), Anaga (in the northeast) and Roque del Conde (in the south).

2. During the Miocene epoch, Las Cañadas volcano rose in the middle between the volcanoes and united them into one volcanic system.

3. For 8 million years, the volcano grew and eventually formed the island of Tenerife in its present form. Presumably, the height of the Las Cañadas volcano was then about 4500 meters.

4. Approximately 160-220 thousand years ago there was a series of strong eruptions with a large release of matter, as a result of which a void formed inside the volcano. The walls in the central part of the volcano could not withstand their weight and collapsed – this place is the caldera. Hence the name of the national park. This structure of the volcanic rocks of Tenerife is one of the largest in the world. The maximum diameter of Las Cañados Caldera is 16 kilometers.

5. After a while, smaller volcanoes appeared in Las Cañadas Caldera. Now the entire structure of the caldera from the satellite resembles a huge crater, inside which the Teide volcano (Teide, 3718m) rushed to the sky and a little to the left of it the volcano Pico Viejo (Pico Viejo, 3135m).

What to see in Teide National Park?

The main attraction of the park is definitely the Teide volcano. Its peak (3718 m) is the highest point in Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. Every year, thousands of tourists come here to admire the beauty of the Canary archipelago from its top.
The local nature is mesmerizing – mountain formations of solidified lava are perplexing, and tropical plants wrapping around volcanic structures create a colorful and mysterious effect.

One of the peculiarities of the park is that there are no predatory mammals or poisonous amphibians in the vicinity of the caldera, so hiking throughout the park is safe. Local inhabitants are small rodents and harmless insects that complement the rich landscape rather than pose a threat. At the crater you can meet wild cats, hedgehogs and rabbits, which find this place the most attractive for existence, however, such animals do not make contact with humans and do not pose a danger. In the spring season, on the caldera, you can observe the flowering of various plants that are found only in this area. Thanks to this phenomenon, the vegetation on the territory of the Teide volcano and Caldera Las Cañadas is filled with new, colorful colors.

The environment of the Teide National Park is indeed a unique place on earth, which in its structure resembles the surface of another planet unknown to science. That is why the masterpieces of world cinema – “Million years BC” and “Clash of the Titans” were filmed in these parts. Travel guides and tour guides have much more to say about these amazing sites and the unique rock formations in the caldera, but tourists quickly forget all this when they find themselves in the famous Spanish landscape of Teide.

When is the best time to visit the National Park?

The Teide National Park looks different at different times of the year, so each period is beautiful in its own way. The most comfortable, of course, is in the warm season – in this case, you do not have to freeze on the top of the Teide or take a lot of warm clothes with you.

It is best to schedule your visit to the caldera in August to join the famous night tour. At this time, a meteor shower from the constellation Perseus falls on the Earth. Everyone can make as many wishes as they can think of, because there will be really a lot of shooting stars. Locals call such a meteor shower – the tears of St. Lorenzo. The thing is that August 10 is the day of remembrance of the saint, it coincides with the beginning of the meteor shower and the Spaniards love to get out into nature with their families on this day and observe this beautiful phenomenon.

Rules for visiting the Teide National Park

The national park is very carefully guarded by the authorities, so tourists should familiarize themselves with the set of rules:

No fires

Do not have picnics

Do not pick plants

Do not take stones from the territory

Do not leave the marked path during long hikes

The management of the Teide Park takes into account the desires of tourists, so they have built special areas for barbecue and enjoyment in order to encourage the conscientiousness of travelers and provide them with the maximum opportunities for recreation without compromising nature.

Excursion to the National Park of Las Cañadas and El Teide volcano in Tenerife

One of the most visited parks on the planet and the first in Europe. Amazingly transparent and clear sky, ideal for astronomical observations. Fantastic landscapes, reminiscent of Martian. Mount Teide is the highest point in Spain and the Atlantic Ocean, and also a sacred place for the aborigines of the Guanches Islands. They believed that the entrance to the underworld was located there, and the demon Guayota was languishing inside the mountain. All this is the Teide National Park.

It is impossible to visit Tenerife and not visit Teide Park. Few regions of the Earth can boast such alien landscapes, a majestic dormant volcano and a variety of flora and fauna.

During our tour of the Teide you will see places such as:

Teide Volcano . A giant that soared into the sky to a height of 3718 m. Using the funicular, you can get almost to its top in just 8 minutes, and then walk the last 163 meters on foot. On the way to the peak, the Altavista mountain base operates – a comfortable rest at an altitude of 3270 m above sea level. The Izagna solar observatory also operates on the slope of the volcano, and this is no accident. The sky over Teide is recognized as one of the clearest in the world, you can see 83 of the 88 constellations in it. The place is ideal for observations due to the absence of clouds at such a height;

Caldera Las Cañadas . A huge amphitheater with a circumference of more than 15 km and a height of up to 600 m. It represents volcanic rocks, heaps of stones, layers of solidified lava – a completely unreal, cosmic landscape, which is about three million years old. The scenery for a science fiction film created by nature itself: it is no coincidence that such classics of cinema as Star Wars were filmed here;

Scala de Garcia . Located at the foot of the Teide volcano. The most unusual of them – Sinchado rock , which is shaped like a petrified tree and is one of the symbols of the island.

➤ Canary Islands. Fantastic Teide Teide Points of interest • Places of interest • What to see in the Canary Islands. Fantastic Teide Teide?

The outstanding Paganel said that he had nothing to do on the peak of Tenerife after the great Humboldt. The reference geographer invented by Jules Verne was very wrong – everyone should visit the peak of Tenerife, which is called Teide, because it is one of the most incredible places on our planet. More precisely, not at the peak itself, but on the volcanic plateau located around Teide Teide: alien landscapes are simply amazing. Imagine fabulous bizarre rocks, multi-colored slopes covered with volcanic ash, endless lava fields – stone bubbles, walls of a giant caldera resembling a canyon … Although it’s hard to imagine – it needs to be seen.

Teide volcano. Altitude 3718 m

Teide Observatory – the largest in the world

All the wonders of the Teide form a national natural park of almost 19,000 hectares. This park is the largest in Spain. Almost 3 million tourists visit it every year – it is one of the ten most visited national parks in the world. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The highest point of the park is Mount Teide – 3718 m. This is the highest point of the Canaries and all of Spain. In height from the bottom of the ocean, this is the third volcano in the world – 7.5 km. From 19Teide has been sleeping for 110 years – it has not erupted for 110 years.

I have not been to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but those who have been say that the views of Teide are similar. And yet, these incredible landscapes are compared with the landscapes of Mars. All these millions of tourists say – like on Mars, when they get into this volcanic desert, covered with avaricious bushes of some kind of xerophytes. And for scientists, Teide National Park is one of the main testing grounds for testing instruments for expeditions to Mars. And this corner of the island of Tenerife is one of the top three places in the world for observing the sky, and that is why here, at an altitude of 2390 meters, the world’s largest observatory is located. An absolutely phantasmagorical picture of dozens of huge telescopes in an alien landscape. By the way, excursions are held at the observatory, during which you can see not just the starry sky, but even spots and flares on the Sun. Tours must be booked in advance – you can easily do this on the Internet.

From 2356 m to 3555 m, the largest cable car in Spain is laid. Quite a bit it does not reach the top of the volcano, but in windy weather it does not work, and you need to order the ascent in advance. The cable car has two cabins, each of which can accommodate up to 44 people. At the lower lift station there is a parking lot for 220 cars, there are shops and cafes. The cable car ride takes 8 minutes, but if you decide to walk, you will need 5-6 hours, and more than four hours to go down. They say that this is an adventure that photographers really like – the pictures taken from the slopes of the volcano are unrealistic, but people without proper physical fitness should not climb Teide.

At an altitude of 3260 m Altavista camp site is located. Imagine – it was built in the middle of the 19th century – then it was the base for scientific research. If you want to see a fabulous sunset and fall asleep among the stars, stop at Altavista. But not everything is simple here, because you can enter from 17:00 to 22:00, and the bedrooms open at 19:00. There are only three bedrooms, and there are 54 beds in them – a sort of hostel among the stars. There is heating, a toilet and shower, a kitchen (your products) and the Internet. You must leave the bedrooms by 7:30 in the morning. The camp closes at 8:00. You can only stay one night.

JOIN OUR JOURNEY IN TENERIFE

If you have not received prior permission or do not want to climb to the top, you are not at all afraid, because this is only a piece of incredible attractions and attractions for a long time . You will never forget these Martian landscapes.

We climbed to the Teide National Park from La Laguna. We left very early. At first there was a mountain serpentine among a pine forest (the slopes are covered with Canary pine up to a height of 2100 m). There are many viewing platforms near the road, from which Tenerife views with the indispensable ocean open – either one side of the island, or the other. Then a belt of bushes began, which clung to the multi-colored volcanic slopes and talus. In some places, sections of volcanic rocks rose above the road, at which everyone stopped for photo shoots and selfies.

The only turn on the paved road on the left leads to the Teide Observatory – be sure to drive up to it, a distance of about 4 km. Dozens of white, topped with domes, cylinders among the Martian landscape will take you to some fantastic blockbuster.

Then we return to the main road and plunge into the world of alien landscapes. Now you understand that the previous photos taken from the observation decks are nothing compared to these. But there is nowhere to stay for a long time, and you begin to mentally scold the organizers – well, why were there so many parking lots, but here – not a single one, and there is no roadside. But you should not worry, because everything is much more interesting, and there are plenty of parking lots again.

Endless lava fields start at the bottom station of the cable car. There is a sightseeing trail here. At an altitude of 2300 m it is cool, but when the sun is shining, it seems that it is warm. You walk between pieces of solidified lava and do not feel the flow of time. Further to the west, sections of large bizarre rocks begin – here you can wander until sunset. Opposite, in the south, you can see the Pico Viejo volcano (height 3135 m), and around, on the horizon, the 600-meter walls of a giant caldera. In fact, this is a crater, but how strong should the explosion be to create such a thing.

In the Teide National Park, filmmakers are almost constantly filming something. Films are different. There are also well-known ones, for example, The Fast and the Furious with Vin Diesel (the sixth part was filmed here), Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans. Back in 1966, the legendary film “One Million Years BC” was filmed here. The poster of this film with the beautiful Raquel Welch and views of the Teide park covered a hole in the prison wall in The Shawshank Redemption… Seeing these landscapes makes me want to become a director, or maybe a cameraman, and shoot, shoot. Come take a look, you might like it too. Entrance to the park is free.

Paradise for naturists and non-naturists alike

The non-naturist part of the beach is near to the lighthouse (kiosk 8). Further down the beach at kiosk 6 and 7 is the naturist beach. Kiosk 7 is predominantly gay whereas kiosk 6 is a mixture of people.
This was our first visit to a clothing optional beach outside of the UK and what a great experience it proved to be.
The beach is best approached via the 2.5 km trail through the dunes from the Riu Palace Maspalomas hotel. It took around 30 minutes to walk from there as you are walking through sand. This will bring you to the Kiosk 7 area of the beach. The beach is sandy (and gets very hot so wear shoes on the beach) and very clean. There is plenty of space for sunbathing either on sunbeds, on the beach itself or near the dunes.
We spent our time on the sunbeds at kiosk 6. As has been stated in other reviews only card payments are accepted for umbrellas and sunbeds. It is 2.50 euros for each item (so 7.50 euros for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella).
The kiosks are still closed but there are people who come around selling cold drinks and snacks. Sellers on the beach seem to be carefully controlled as you see the same sellers every day and they are un-intrusive.
At kiosk 6 it was mainly naked couples, which was great, with a few clothed people. One downside was that many people tended to smoke and as the sunbeds are close together it was difficult to avoid the smoke.
It is safe to leave your belongings on this part of the beach when you go in the sea. We did this and never had any problems.
The sea, being the Atlantic, can be very rough at times. However this didn’t take away the fun of going in the sea which was warm.
There are no toilet facilities at this part of the beach which is disappointing but I’m not going to knock off any marks for this as the overall experience on the beach is fantastic. Our best naturist experience to date.

Just Beautiful!!

Family

Just returned from a wonderful week at palm Oasis.
Palm oasis is set in the most beautiful grounds , the apartments are fantastic, equipped with what you need , clean and spacious.
We stayed on a half board basis , buffet breakfast and evening meal . The food was fantastic , choices and variety to suit all tastes and the fact you can keep going back for more just makes it so worth while , especially when feeding 7 . The pool bar it great for lunch should you require .
The staff could not be more helpful , polite and extremely hard working !
The site is a little distance from maspalomas centre but the hotel will have you a taxi in minutes and it’s around 5 euros .
This is the First holiday we’re I’ve actually had days around a pool , normally we would be going off sightseeing. Pool days in such beautiful surroundings have left us all wanting to visit again !

Thank you to all at Palm Oasis !!

This site certainly deserves more than 3 *

Very nice place to see and take some good photos there. Even though it was too hot for me to actually walk down there I enjoyed the view from the little pathway next to it. My daughter and my partner went for a walk there and enjoyed it a lot. View worth seeing!!

El Faro a Lopesan experience

Couples

Visited ElFaro at Maspalomas in July. Excellent location, excellent food and staff made this a wonderful break after 3 years without a holiday. The room no 1323 was a side sea view with a lovely large corner balcony looking onto the sand dunes. It is very grey everywhere inside the hotel including the paint on the ceilings which we found a bit dark. The beds were really comfy and lots of fresh towels every day and a chocolate biscuit every evening left by the maid. Only negatives were the air con was not great and the sink (grey ) was right in front of the entrance to the room and in the actual bedroom. Apart from this a really lovely hotel.

Lack of Kiosks and Toilets

With the nice new kiosks placed during lockdown it was a real disappointment to not have them open. Also a huge missed opportunity to have toilets installed in the middle of the beach as it’s such a long walk to get back to either end to use facilities if you’re spending the day there. For visitors please note that only card payments can be taken for sun loungers and parasols, they are no longer accepting cash and a lot of people were caught out by it. Again forcing customers to take their cards and phones down the beach it would be nice if there were some kind of locker facility by each kiosk for a small fee. Aside from this still a gorgeous clean beach and the attendants were lovely friendly people so heartily recommend a visit

Tacky tourist trap.. Reminded me of Benidorm

Solo

Dunes were very pretty (which is why I’ve given it 2 stars instead of 0) but the rest of the beach was a tourist trap selling tatty memorabilia and sorry attempts at English food such as fish and chips and eggs and bacon (undercooked and not very appetising) It is just for tourists basically and doesn’t show any real resemblance of Spanish culture or history. We were hoping for traditional food and tapas but it was just full of cheap market stalls with people that would constantly try and grab you and try and shove cheap looking bracelets on your hand. There was lots of fake designer bags and it had a Benidorm type of vibe, full of shouty middle aged English people. The beach was extremely overcrowded and barely had any sun loungers, everyone was just cramped on the floor (The sand was far too hot to lay on).

Nothing much to do or see, there’s a chemist and a supermarket for the locals but apart from that there’s very little to do. There is a nudist beach next to the main one which was all fine and dandy as I like to sunbathe topless anyway (probably the most interesting part of the trip) but we did notice that there was a group of naked men hiding in the bushes which seemed weird and somewhat sinister for a place that openly embraces nudity.

If you want to experience some culture whilst you are here, I’d recommend instead travelling to Las Palmas old town as they have art galleries, museums and cathedrals to visit etc. It is an hour bus ride away though so if you are hoping for somewhere nearer-by don’t bother.

Maspalomas Gran Canaria – Canary Islands Info

Maspalomas is the world-renowned tourist town in the southernmost part of Gran Canaria. Completing the San Bartolome de Tirajana municipality, its coast welcomes more and more visitors each year. It has perfected the formula for a desirable European destination in the Canaries with its infinite sand dunes, high-end hotels, and beautiful beaches and attractions.

History

The town’s iconic Faro de Maspalomas has been shining its beacon over the sea for more than 120 years. Since no roads led to the location, the government opted to build a wharf before transporting the construction materials for the tower. The picturesque and historic lighthouse has since become an indelible part of the local landscape.

The hotel-lined Maspalomas today is the culmination of an ambitious vision to create a resort town that would stand amidst the dunes and the Atlantic. The rise of the lighthouse, followed by the expansion of resorts, ultimately led to Maspalomas as the top tourist destination on the island. Amidst the massive development, UNESCO declared the Sand Dunes of Maspalomas a protected landscape.

At a Glance

During the winter months, a large number of Europeans and other international tourists flock to the Canary Islands, where the climate remains summer-like even when the temperature drops.

Under the silhouette of the imposing lighthouse, visitors become a part of the centuries-old memories in Maspalomas. Countless strolls, honeymoons, family vacations, and soul-searching trips happened across its 6-kilometer shoreline. Couples and lovers, even nudists and members of the LGBT community, have found refuge on the beaches of Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles.

The vast dunes, extending inland from the coast, hosts a plethora of endemic species. A stunning sunset is in store for guests at Dunas Mirador, where the picturesque sky becomes the perfect backdrop for the golden sand hills and deep blue water of the Atlantic. At night, the fun continues in one of the night bars in Meloneras or Playa del Ingles.

While in town, there are a couple of parks to keep the kids entertained. Families could spend a lovely afternoon at Palmitos Park. Or, as an option, they could find thrill and excitement at the Holiday World Amusement Park. While ladies have a grand time shopping, gentlemen could tee off at Maspalomas Golf.

Completing one’s stay on the island is the broad array of accommodations, most of which are on the upper scale. Aside from hotels and apartments, the town also has countless restaurants and cafes serving local and international cuisine.

Things to Do

Although more famous for its beaches, the town of Maspalomas offers way more than the sea and the sand dunes. It is a haven for vacationers who want to indulge in myriad activities.

Beach Hopping

The long coastline in Maspalomas draws people in with sandy shores and cool waters of the Atlantic. Although the coast is long, the beaches are divided into smaller beaches, each with its distinct features.

Playa de Meloneras

Starting at the northwest side of the legendary lighthouse, Playa de Meloneras competes pretty well with its neighbors. After a recent face-lift, it boasts extravagant hotels, designer shops, and numerous seafront restaurants. Across the golden sand are sunbeds and parasols for rent, bringing beach comfort to the next level.

The beach is ideal for swimming and sunbathing, although it could get rocky when the tide is low. A great activity for guests here is to explore the reefs and meet aquatic animals face-to-face during scuba diving excursions. At night, chill in one of the bars and cafes that light up and keep the shores of Meloneras fun and alive.

Playa de Maspalomas

Walking east from the lighthouse, the tranquil beach of Playa de Maspalomas greets tourists. The 3-kilometer golden sand is perfect for lounging around, walking, or sunbathing. The water is calmest near the lighthouse, where shops and restaurants abound.

Towards the midsection is a well-signed area for nudists and the gay community. Getting tanned does not have to be limited to the beach but also at the vast expanse of sand dunes.

Playa del Ingles

Walking further east from Maspalomas, beachgoers get blown away by Playa del Ingles. The busiest beach in Europe never feels crowded with yet again more golden sand and endless shops and cafes. It’s the top beach destination for those who thirst for nightlife by the beach.

Playa del Ingles Full of Life – ©nito500

Commercial centers, high-rise buildings, hotels, pubs, and clubs dominate the shore. For that reason, it is a popular destination for those who love the modern amenities and the convenience of its location. An area at the end of the beach to the east is marked for nudists. From here, guests could also take a stroll on Paseo Costa Canaria, a long walkway with shops and beautiful areas for jogging, walking, and even picture-taking.

Playa de San Agustin

If the choice is to go to a much quieter atmosphere than Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles, then Playa de San Agustin is perfect. This peaceful beach is more popular with the locals, especially during weekends, and is an ideal escape from tourist traps. That said, there are also plenty of accommodations to choose from, should visitors decide to stay and explore.

The gentle waters of this beach make it a perfect place for snorkeling and even scuba diving. When hungry, a couple of cafes, shops, and restaurants serve customers on its promenade.

Nature Trips

The sand dunes are the main tourist attraction of the town. It is reminiscent of the Sahara and exudes a rugged beauty all nature lovers fall for. However,for naturalists and those who simply want a break from the beach, Maspalomas offers much more than its magical sand.

La Charca

The Maspalomas Nature Reserve is divided into three sections: Dunas (dunes), Charca (pond), and Palmeral (palms). La Charca is a little lagoon that runs parallel to the walkway to the shore. Its pond is filled with fishes, and the landscape is, most of the time, visited by wild birds.

Grab some binoculars and have fun bird watching. Migrating birds from Europe heading to Africa usually rest in these waters. So, make sure to have your cameras ready in case egrets or herons decide to plunge into the water and fish for their next meal.

Dunas Mirador

Chiseled by winds blowing from all directions, the sand hills change every moment, making each visit a unique experience. And what’s the best spot to watch the enchanting sand dunes? None other than Dunas Mirador.

This walkway and observation area was designed with a couple of low steps where people could sit. Here, guests could see the dunes forming waves of shadows as they welcome the golden rays of the sun retreating at the ocean-lined horizon. It’s a breath-taking experience, to say the least.

Parque Urbano del Sur

Fancy a morning run or a quiet afternoon spent reading? Then this landscaped urban park in Maspalomas is the place to be. Lined with palm trees, it’s a shaded area away from the noise of the busy shops and beaches.

Apart from the path for joggers, it also has a lovely pond. Unwind while watching the ducks, birds, and fishes go about their business. Or bring the kids and let them have fun in the vast playground. There’s even a local cafe that boasts a reasonably priced weekend lunch BBQ meal for the family.

El Parque Botanico de Maspalomas

Just like any desert, Maspalomas also has an oasis. But here, tourists will find more than just a couple of cacti or palms. Guests take a refreshing walk or a pleasant picnic amidst a vast collection of tropical and Mediterranean plants.

The tranquility of El Parque Botanico de Maspalomas is something any traveler appreciates. The plant collections range from fruit trees like papayas and bananas to hordes of different flowers and shrubs. Visitors could even spot butterflies and birds. It is open on weekdays, and the entrance is free.

Theme Parks

A tourist town is not complete without thrilling amenities for kids and the kids at heart. It is for this reason that families love Maspalomas. Close to the beaches are various theme parks offering hair-raising and adrenaline-pumping adventures.

Palmitos Park

Palmitos Park is the consensus best recreational activity in Gran Canaria. Set amidst ravines and palms in Maspalomas, San Bartolome de Tirajana, the subtropical theme park is only a couple of minutes away from the beaches. It is where tourists can discover the diversified flora and fauna of Gran Canaria.

Apart from the animal and plant attractions found in the zoo, Palmitos Park also has incredible animal shows. Visitors stand in awe as they watch exotic birds and birds of prey in flight. The famous dolphin show also brings smiles as the gentle mammals showcase their tricks and genius.

Holiday World

Suddenly missing funfair rides? There is no need to fight the urge. Sitting inland between the beaches of Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles is Holiday World, an amusement park catering to all ages.

Guests could ride the Ferris wheel and other fun fair rides. While there, friends and families could knock down pins in the bowling alley. The trampoline area should offer loads of fun for little children defying gravity. Holiday World is a fun place to visit both day and night.

Aqualand Maspalomas

More nerve-wracking fun awaits the thrill-seekers in Aqualand Maspalomas Water Park. With over 30 slides, it is the biggest water park in town for adrenaline-pumping action.

Attractions are classified well, so guests would not have difficulty choosing. There’s Chill Out and Play, Family Fun, Kidzworld, and Adrenaline Fun. Start slow with Pirate’s River or Jacuzzi, then crank it up with the Tornado or the Aquamania. Here, every slide is sure to bring laughter and fun for everyone.

Adult Fun

Millions of tourists come and go to Gran Canaria each year. From solo travelers to couples or lovers, many choose to fly direct to Maspalomas.

Golf

Scattered across town are multiple mini-golf courses. But one of the biggest and most popular is the Maspalomas Golf Course. This 18-hole course has been a venue for a couple of international events.

Enveloped by the dunes and natural reserve, with the trade winds fanning players’ faces from time to time, its prime location is more than ideal for many enthusiasts.

There is a never-ending list of things to see and do on the largest Canary island, Gran Canaria. With more than 50 beaches, charming villages, the city bustle of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and historic sites such as Pueblo Canario, Gran Canaria has something to offer every visitor.

One of the island’s most famous landmarks, Roque Nublo is a volcanic rock standing 80m (262ft) tall and is protected by Unesco. Located in the municipality of Tejeda, a short ride from the city center, it was created by a volcanic eruption approximately 4.5m years ago. It’s also the most popular destination in Gran Canaria for hiking, particularly thanks to the wonderful views it offers of Tejeda mountain. Start your hike at Degollada de la Goleta (only reachable by car), then follow the clearly signposted trail.

Walk the dunes at Maspalomas

Maspalomas is the second-longest beach in Gran Canaria, primarily famous for the vast dunes that often grace the covers of Canary Island travel guides. Since the dunes are a fragile ecosystem and need to be visited with care, it’s important to follow one of the three walking routes, with signposts for each starting at the information point at the Playa del Inglés.

Get lost in the lush Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo

Botanical Garden

Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo, located in the northeast of Gran Canaria in Tafira Alta, proves that Gran Canaria is more lush and verdant than it seems. The botanic garden is home to about 500 plant species which endemic to the Canary Islands and other Macaronesian islands, as well as cacti and succulent varieties and some imported flora. The bust of José de Viera y Clavijo, the Spanish botanist who had an idea of opening a botanic garden on the Canary Islands, sits near the entrance and proudly welcomes all visitors. With a library and laboratories on site, the garden contributes heavily to species preservation through its research work, and it also publishes the journal Botánica Macaronésica.

Settle down on the luxurious sofas – with blankets (though you’re not likely to need them) and fantastic service available at the push of the button – and enjoy your favourite films on the big screen under the magic of the stars. There’s even a selection of stone-baked pizza, popcorn and nachos if you get peckish.

Get extreme with water sports

Gran Canaria is a fantastic destination for water sports fans, with plenty of companies offering sailing, yachting, windsurfing, water-skiing, scuba diving and much more. Thanks to a combination of warm wind – which blows from the eastern side of the island – and warm waters, windsurfing is typically the most popular activity here, with Dunkerbeck Windsurf Center one of the most popular options.

Follow in the footsteps of Columbus at Casa de Colon

Museum, Historical Landmark

It is not widely known that Christopher Columbus – like many sailors of the time – made a pitstop in the Canary islands on his way to the New World in 1492, planning to stock up on food and other essentials on the western side of La Gomera. If this period of history and the life of Christopher Columbus is of interest, pay a visit to Casa de Colón and to explore models of the three ships which comprised Columbus’s fleet: la Santa María, la Pinta and la Niña.

Excursions to the island of Gran Canaria

(1 review)

Continent in miniature” is the common name for the island of Gran Canaria. And it is not accidental: the island is distinguished by a wide variety of landscapes, flora and fauna. You will see unique pine forests and eucalyptus groves. You will explore the Barranco de Guayadeque gorge and see the rock of Roque Nublo. Water wealth is represented by 13 reservoirs, the largest of them is Soria. The dunes of Maspalomas are responsible for the desert landscapes. Feel like a discoverer of Gran Canaria.

Russian language

During our exciting trip around the island you will see and visit:

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria . Of particular interest is the Columbus House – a museum with items from the travels of the discoverer of America, as well as exhibits from the pre-Columbian era. The history of the Canary Islands and the city of Las Palmas will be revealed to you in this museum;
Cathedral of Santa Ana (Saint Anne). It is interesting that the construction of this beautiful example of Gothic and Neoclassicism, begun in the 15th century, continues to this day;

Museum of the Canary Islands. It presents household items found during excavations, jewelry, idols, skeletons and mummies of the first inhabitants of the island – the Guanches;

Basalt rock Roque Nublo . Key attraction of Gran Canaria. A rock over 1880 meters high with a spire that looks like a finger pointing to the sky. The Guanches considered this place sacred and made sacrifices to the sun god on it;

Barranco de Guayadeque . This gorge is distinguished not only by the vast diversity of the flora – more than 80 species of plants grow here, among them: cacti, agaves, Canary pines, palm trees. The Guanches have long buried the dead in hard-to-reach caves. Then the caves began to be used as houses, food storage and for rituals. The example of the ancients is followed by the current inhabitants of this area. You will see real cave villages with cave churches, bars and restaurants;

Caldera de Bandama . The largest crater on the island of a long-extinct volcano. Previously, grapes were grown in the crater itself, now you can see only wine presses, grain storage caves and half-ruined old buildings. The village of La Atalaya at the foot of the volcano has been famous for centuries for pottery made using Guanche technology;

Church of San Juan. A Neo-Gothic building that stands out from the rest of the buildings in Arukas. The church owes its unusual and complex architecture to a native of Catalonia;

Dunes of Maspalomas . Sands in constant motion. There is practically no rainfall and it is always sunny, like in the desert. But there are also oases in the national park: a salt lake, a grove of palm trees and a beach overlooking the ancient lighthouse of Faro de Maspalomas.

Private guide

Your private guide for Tenerife and the entire Canary archipelago.

The seven islands of the Canary archipelago are seven amazing pieces of land in the Atlantic, which can amaze even the most experienced traveler with their diversity. Only here you can meet the dawn at the highest point of the Atlantic and enjoy the unique performance of giant killer whales, taste the fragrant meat cooked in the mouth of a real volcano and see how the genius of Cesar Manrique helped to weave together the unique beauty created by nature and man, see the oldest plaza Mayor in Spain and feel the thrill of admiration from the majestic beauty of the “Requiem in the Gothic style”, hear the unique language of whistling and walk through the forest of the Tertiary period, breathe in the amazing spicy aroma of highland endemic herbs, hold your breath to admire the Caldera de Taburiente from the edge of the abyss, and, having climbed to the highest point of the island, and, having surveyed the futuristic designs of Cherenkov telescopes, feel proud of the great compatriot.

It’s all here in the Canary Islands!!! The main thing is to know where to start and not to miss anything!!!

history

The Canari tribe was the first to live in Gran Canari around 500 BC. They call the island Tamaran, which means “Land of the Brave”. Over time, the French and Europeans began to attack the island. They conquered it on April 29, 1483. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was decolonized as the capital of Gran Canaria on June 24, 1478. Christopher Columbus visited the island in 1492 years during his trip to America.

It is the second most populated part of the Canary Islands, Tenerife being the first. Spanish, French, Portuguese and Caucasian are the common groups that live here. The population of Gran Canaria is young compared to other parts of the country. This means that there are still people between the ages of 15 and 45.

Canary Islands → Gran Canaria Island

Thu, 11/16/2017 – 13:09 — Alexander

Gran Canaria is not the largest, but one of the most visited islands of the Canary archipelago.

Having a rounded shape, it is located to the west of the southern coast of Morocco and is surrounded on all sides by the Atlantic Ocean.

The island looks like a miniature continent due to the colossal number of picturesque landscapes, the diversity of flora and fauna, and the variety of climatic zones.

Like each of the Canary Islands, it owes its birth to the volcanic activity of the ocean floor.

The first mention of the island took place about two thousand years ago. The ancient Canarians – “Guanches” – were farmers who migrated from the African continent. Traces of their culture have survived to this day: natural or carved caves in tuff and rock paintings.

A few words about the climate

Gran Canaria, like Tenerife, and many other objects of the magnificent seven, many call the island of eternal spring. And for good reason: the local climate pleases all year round, because in winter the air temperature is around 22°C, and in summer – about 27°C. Water warms up to 20°C in winter, and often reaches 25°C in summer. This place has 350 sunny days a year. August is considered the hottest period, but the high temperature does not feel like hellish hell – it saves the ocean.

Like a knife, the island is divided by a mountain range into northern and southern climatic zones. In the northern part, a more humid and cool climate prevails – this is the so-called trade wind area. It is not very sunny here, but there is a lot of greenery. Arid and warmer climate prevails in the south of the island. This division also affected the distribution of the tourist complexes of the island. All of them, of course, are in the south.

Focus on main

the island’s beaches are no doubt ready to receive guests from all over the world. Regardless of the time of the year and the conjuncture of the tourism business;

rest in Gran Canaria unhurried and measured. However, there are activities for fans of extreme entertainment. And those excursions that will be offered to you will not take much time and effort, so necessary for lying on the warm sand caressing the body;

diversity is the word that best describes this island in the Canary archipelago. The unique relief allows you to visit the sea coast in a short time, in a valley overgrown with dense greenery, walk through the subtropical forest. And if the eye suddenly gets tired of the beauties of southern nature – welcome to the mountains, where you will find the crunch of fresh snow and the silence of mountain peaks

Gran Canaria has more than one and a half thousand species of subtropical and tropical plants, some of which (about a hundred) are unique. For example, the Canarian bell is one of the symbols of the archipelago.

There are no poisonous insects, scorpions and snakes on the island, as well as animals that can cause significant damage to human health. Mosquitoes are rare here. The island of Gran Canaria has the status of a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and therefore some of its parts are closed to the public, there are more than three dozen protected areas in total.

Beaches

Undoubtedly, one of the main values of the island of Gran Canaria, which invariably attracts tourists, is its amazing beaches, with a total length of about 60 km. Some of the beaches are reminiscent of the endless expanses of the desert. Others are cozy nests surrounded by cliffs rising into the sea.

The most remarkable beach – it is called Gigi – is located in the western part of the island. Golden-yellow, finely sandy, it curved for hundreds, and tens of meters wide. The water here is turquoise and crystal clear.

The famous Playa de los Amadores

It must be remembered that all the beaches of the island are the property of the state, entry is free and free. Hotels do not have their own beaches, but you will have to pay for additional leisure accessories – an umbrella or a deck chair. They are rented for the whole day, so you need to keep a receipt if you plan to go somewhere for a short time.

TOP 5 tourist sites

Dunes Maspalomas is a piece of the desert, located on the ocean, a park of over 400 hectares of unique beauty, divided into two zones, absolutely different from each other: sand dunes , which are in constant motion and the La Charca lagoon with sea water, separated from the ocean by a narrow strip of land. You can move around the territory of this miraculous miracle on a camel or on foot. Driving by private transport is prohibited here. It will take about an hour to cross the desert zone, and behind it is a real oasis with tall palm trees and a salt water lake inhabited by various exotic living creatures.

Crocodile Park. The easiest way to get there is by bus from Playa del Inglés. More than three hundred crocodiles are comfortably housed in the park. Along with toothy reptiles, iguanas, pythons, lizards, monkeys, tigers and parrots coexist here.

Maspalomas Aquatic Park is the largest water entertainment center in Gran Canaria: a wide range of attractions makes it the best place for family holidays.

April in Mallorca: What’s On & Weather

Annual fairs, beach club openings, sporting and yachting events

About

April is the month when you notice that Mallorca really comes to life again. As temperatures rise above 20ºC, people flock to the island and its beaches to bask in the Mediterranean sun. Even though the sea remains at a chilly 15ºC, you will definitely catch sight of some courageous individuals indulging in their first swim of the year.

This month, the seasonal resorts open, the spring fairs are in full swing and you will find there’s a jam-packed schedule of events taking place around the island, making Mallorca a top destination to visit in April.

Spring fairs fill the calendar throughout April and we believe Port d’Alcudia, Colonia de Sant Jordi, and Calvia host some of the biggest and best as they each celebrate their local specialities.

Cyclists travel from far and wide to compete in Mallorca’s legendary 312 cycling challenge and as the weather gets better, many yachts are out on the water, and two big yachting events bring all different types of yacht lovers onto the island. Olympic sailers come from around the world to compete for the SAR Princesa Sofia Sailing Trophy at the beginning of the month, and Palma International Boat Show at the end.

What’s the weather like in Mallorca in April?

In April there’s a notable increase in temperature which is why many seasonal businesses choose this month to start their summer season. You can expect an average of 8 hours of sunshine per day and it’s common for temperatures to reach the early twenties. So whether you are looking to embark on some sporting activities like cycling and hiking, planning on lounging by a pool or exploring some of Mallorca’s idyllic beaches, you will enjoy some warm but comfortable weather. When packing your suitcase, we recommend bringing ‘layers as the evenings are still quite cool, and there is the odd day of rain. By the end of the month sunrise is before 07.00 and sunset reaches past 20.30 so the days are feeling a lot longer now.

What’s on in Mallorca in April?

Yachting events
At the beginning of the month, you might notice that Palma Bay is full of sailing boats. This is because Palma hosts an important regatta in the sailing calendar as olympic and professional sailors from more than 50 countries come to compete for the SAR Princesa Sofia Sailing Trophy.

At the end of the month, thousands of international visitors arrive in the capital for the Palma International Boat Show. An event that is growing year on year, exhibitors include yacht brokers, nautical equipment and toys, nautical schools and so much more. Keep an eye on the date for the ‘night of the sea’ as its the one night where the show goes on until 23:00, the drinks are flowing and entertainment is taken up a notch, we always expect a show-stopping party.

An international cycle tour
The famous Mallorca 312 Cycling Challenge is where hundreds of cyclists compete in a tour around the island. The main event involves covering 312 kilometres and 5050 metres of altitude gain, but there are also two shorter versions of the race, one is 225 kilometres and another 167 kilometres. Drivers, be aware, there will be quite a few road closures around the island so we urge you to plan your route in advance.

Spring fairs
Over the coming weeks, traditional spring fairs will be popping up around the island. These events are the perfect way to get away from tourist hot spots and explore the ‘real’ Mallorca. There are too many to mention but here are some of our favourites. Alcúdia’s Cuttlefish and Nautical Fair is a popular festival for foodies, along with Colonia de Sant Jordi’s annual salt fair, where they celebrate the local production of salt. Calvia’s Agricultural Fair will be taking place with sheep and goats headlining the show – this one’s a great day out for families with young children.

Fairground fun
If funfairs are more your idea of the perfect family day out, we would recommend you head to Palma’s annual Fira del Ram, a funfair in Son Fusteret. Expect thrill seeking rides, a 60-metre high Ferris wheel and more sweet treats than you could ever imagine.

International celebrations
With a large international community, it should come as no surprise that the Mallorca World Folk Festival is a big affair on the island. Different places around the capital city of Palma will host performances from Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Egypt, Greece, India, Italy, Kosovo, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia and Turkey.

Beach Club Openings in April

Indulgent beach clubs
The beginning of April sees our favourite beach clubs opening their doors all across the island in some of the most idyllic locations. In recent years, some world famous names have made an appearance on the island. So whether you prefer to lounge on the sun lounger or fancy a swanky spot for lunch or dinner, you can enjoy some top-notch food, scrumptious cocktails or a chilled glass of champagne in a photo worthy setting!

Mallorca is now a cycling mecca, and April is a particularly popular time for cyclists thanks to major cycling events and the wonderful climate.

There are many beautiful villages scattered across this magnificent mountain range, but if we had to pick 5 for you to see, we would suggest Valldemossa, Deia, Fornalutx, Soller and Banalbufar. You will be enchanted by their blonde stone architecture, pretty plants, cobbled streets, charismatic village squares, boutique shops and quaint cafes. A trip to the mountains is good for the soul, and there are plenty of boutique and agroturismo hotels in this part of the island, as well as fincas (old Spanish farm houses) to rent. Perfect for some rest and rehabilitation.

Markets in April

Mingle with the locals at a market
Whatever day it is, there’s usually a market taking place somewhere on the island. These are a great place to pick up local produce including top notch food goods like fresh fruit and vegetables, local cheeses and meats, honey, almonds, olives and more. There’s also a good selection of artisan goods, handmade jewellery, summer clothing and textiles. As a general rule, these markets usually start between 08.00 and 09.00 in the morning and finish at 13.00, so make sure you get up early. You could even grab a traditional Mallorquin Ensaimada with your cafe con leche at one of the local restaurants or towns you are visiting.

Sea temperature

April is a beautiful month in Mallorca. The island begins to stir from its winter lull. The sea remains cold, but the temperature builds through the month and life returns to the larger resorts. We’ve looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Mallorca, covering the last 12 years up to 2022, plus we’ve asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Mallorca weather in April.

What’s the temperature like in Mallorca during April?

The temperature reaches around 18℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 13℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you’re going to be outside for long periods it’s worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Mallorca during April?

On average, there will be 9 rainy days during the month, amounting to 18. 1mm in total. That’s almost nothing at all, therefore rain isn’t something we think you need to consider. There’s a small chance that you’ll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

How warm is the sea in Mallorca during April?

The water around Mallorca is a bracing 16℃ during April and would be considered too cold for swimming. Those who are a bit more hardy or frequently swim in cooler open water might want to take a quick dip. A wetsuit would be advisable if you wish to spend longer than 5 minutes in the water.

Weather and Attractions in Mallorca in April

30Jun 2017 by Andrew Brittain

We decided to visit Mallorca in early Spring, when the UK weather was still cold and wet and we were starting to get desperate for some warmth and sun after a long British winter.

We found a last-minute deal for a week half-board in Port d’Andratx, which was too good to miss. It was cheap because it was in the off-season and we weren’t entirely sure how worthwhile it was going to be. We weren’t sure of guaranteed hot weather; Mallorca isn’t as far south as, say, the Canary Islands, where the winter is pretty much peak season.

Deserted beaches and temperatures as warm as the British summer were a real advantage of visiting in April

We were also unsure how much there would be to do at this time of year, for example if most attractions and venues might be closed. But we decided to give it a shot – and were extremely glad we did!

We actually flew out in the last few days of March and were really getting worried by the weather forecast and webcam that we were obsessively watching in the week leading up to the trip.

It had been raining every single day and temperatures were actually quite cold. The view on the webcam across the beach looked more like something you’d expect on a wet winter’s day at home than a view across the Mediterranean! And the forecast for the week ahead, when we were heading out there, was equally as dull.

Visiting in the off-season meant we had the hotel pool completely to ourselves, although in reality the water was far too cold to swim in!

On the day we arrived at Palma airport in Mallorca, it was grey, dull and there were spots of rain in the air. The weather was no different to what we’d just left behind in Southampton a few hours ago.

However, we woke up on day two to clear blue sky and a complete change in the forecast for the rest of the week compared to what it had previously said.

By the time we’d finished our breakfast, it was clear it was going to be warm and sunny enough to head to a beach. Perhaps not to swim in the sea, but at least to lay in the sun and be a great deal warmer than we’d be back in the UK.

Temperatures reached the low 20s and, although every now and again there was a bit of a breeze which could chill you, it did actually turn out warm enough to get in the sea.

The sea was certainly warm enough to swim in – and so clear and blue it was impossible to resist!

The rest of the week followed the same pattern. Warm sun – not completely relentless like in the summer, there was some cloud and some occasional cool breezes which every now and again were cold enough to make us put a jumper on, albeit temporarily, especially towards the evenings.

But the majority of the time we were bathed in glorious sunshine that was easily as warm as an average summer’s day in England. We spent a lot of time on the beaches, including swimming in the sea and all got very tanned / burned, while back at home it rained and barely got above 10-degrees.

So the weather was great – exactly what we’d wanted and a great relief from the British winter. Though had we gone the week before, we’d have been distraught as it had rained every day.

The forecast for the week after we left incidentally was for unbroken sunshine and continuously increasing temperatures.

So the weather in Mallorca in April isn’t exactly 100% guaranteed sun, but from our experience, you’ve got a pretty good chance of some really pleasant, warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine – especially compared with the UK!

Temperatures in the low to mid 20s were pleasantly warm and a welcome change from the seemingly never-ending British winter

In terms of things being open and available in this ‘off season’ period, we didn’t have any problems. There is clearly less going on – for instance the bus timetable is reduced compared with summer; some of the beach-front bars and cafes were closed or in the middle of refurbishment. There was also quite a lot of building work going on all over the place, which presumably they get done over the winter in readiness for the peak summer season.

But none of this caused us any trouble – particularly as it’s what we’d expected and we’d paid a knock-down price for the holiday.

One benefit was that the beaches were virtually empty. You can see from these photos that we had much of the beaches completely to ourselves, which was really enjoyable.

It made us laugh one day, as we sat by the waterside near the marina in our swimming costumes, slapping on suncream, to see the locals walking past in coats and scarves. To them, this was a cold day – but to us, it was as good as any weather we might have expected at the height of summer back home.

So we would definitely recommend Mallorca as a destination in April. Obviously the later in the month you go, the warmer it’s going to be. You won’t have the absolute guarantee of sun that you might have over summer, but there’s a good enough chance of it to take the risk. The good weather combined with the peace and quiet of the off-season made it a gamble we were very pleased we took!

In July and August, daylight hours last about 11 hours. These months are the height of the tourist season. November, December and January are the least attractive times to visit Mallorca.

It is good to visit the islands in the spring, before the summer heat, when everything is in bloom – trees, flowers and wild herbs.

Mallorca is the largest island of the Balearic archipelago, located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. It is famous for its unsurpassed beaches, developed resort infrastructure, ancient architectural monuments and simply stunning natural beauty.

But the main advantage of Mallorca, perhaps, lies in its incredibly favorable geographical position, which determined the unique weather conditions of the island. After all, the beach season here lasts from early May to mid-October, and the weather in Mallorca accompanies sightseeing holidays all year round. Mallorca has a pronounced Mediterranean climate, which means that summers are quite dry and moderately hot, while winters are very warm with plenty of rainfall. 9Ol000

When is the best time to go on holiday to Mallorca

Popular topics:

Summer

In summer, there is practically no rain on the island, only short-term thunderstorms. This is due to the fact that at this time of the year in the Mediterranean region, zones with high atmospheric pressure are dominant, they contribute to the sinking of dry air masses onto wet sea ones, which reduces the possibility of precipitation to almost zero. At the same time, the proximity of the sea provides a fairly comfortable humidity, which is about 60-70%.

Also, a light sea breeze eliminates the debilitating summer heat in Mallorca.

The average daily air temperature in the hottest months (July and August) is +29 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the water warms up to +25 ° C, and the daylight hours last about eleven hours. The average daily temperature range in the coastal areas of the island is insignificant, so even at night it is not cold here, on average, the thermometer stays at + 19-20 ° С.

Thus, July and August are the most favorable months for a beach holiday in Mallorca, it is during this period that the maximum number of tourists come here. But even in June, when the air warms up to +25 °С, and the water reaches +20 °С, it is quite comfortable to sunbathe and even swim, although the water is still cool.

Autumn

September is also considered quite a favorable month for beach lovers, the average daily temperature is already starting to gradually drop and is in the range of +24-26 degrees Celsius. Accordingly, the temperature of coastal waters also decreases (up to +22 °С). At the same time, windless dry weather in Mallorca still contributes to comfortable sun and sea bathing.

In total, there are about three hundred sunny days a year on the island.

In October, the air temperature drops to + 20-22 °С, and the water warms up to only 18 °С, from about the middle of the month, regular precipitation begins in the form of rain. This month has the most rainfall of the year. In November, it rains with less intensity, but still very often, and the air warms up to + 17-18 ° С. At the same time, the water temperature off the coast of Mallorca averages +19 degrees Celsius.

Winter

The weather forecast in Majorca during the winter months changes noticeably: the air temperature drops (up to +14 °C on average), and the amount of precipitation decreases. The coldest months on the island are January and February, then it rains infrequently, but the thermometer does not rise above +12 degrees Celsius, while the average air temperature is +7-8 °C.

In the winter months in Mallorca you will hardly meet tourists, as it is very cold to swim and sunbathe here, and rains prevent trips to exciting excursions.

Spring

But already in March the air temperature begins to rise, and on average it is +16 degrees Celsius. The number of sunny days is also increasing. The nature of the island begins to wake up after a winter holiday. Starting from the end of March and throughout April, the island is literally immersed in flowers – fruit trees bloom and flowers of rare beauty, of which there are a great many in Mallorca. At the same time, the air, overflowing with floral fragrances, warms up to + 19degrees Celsius, the rains recede, and the sun shines brightly. This is an ideal time for a sightseeing holiday, the weather favors visiting the numerous natural treasures and architectural sights of the island.

It is during this period that the cultural life of the island comes to life – various festivals are held or just traditional folk festivals.

And already in the middle of May, when the thermometer rises to +23-25 °C in the afternoon, the beach season begins. This is a great time to sunbathe or do beach sports, but it’s still a little early for swimming, because the water only warms up to +18 degrees Celsius.

In general, you can relax on the island all year round, even in winter, luxurious beaches, cozy bays, mysterious caves, centuries-old groves and mountains with spruce forests are full of charm and turn the island into one of the most picturesque places on the planet.

Weather in Mallorca by months and seasons

The ocean is far away, the Equator is close. Summers are hot, springs are refreshing, winters are mild, autumns are rainy but very pleasant on sunny days.

Weather in Mallorca by months

Weather in Mallorca by months and seasons

The island appeared to the world on the surface of the sea about 11 million years ago. As it was then, no one can say. Now there is a typical Mediterranean climate. The coastline of 554 km in the north is solid rocks and cliffs. In the area of Alcudia and Pollensa there are large wonderful bays, dearly loved by tourists. But connoisseurs also know the small ones, hidden near rural settlements far from the beaten paths. Families with children flock there. In summer, the cities of the island are overcrowded with tourists, which does not always cause exuberant delight of local residents. They say that in Palma de Mallorca they even banned rental housing. So focus on hotels and the countryside. The island has two long mountain ranges of extraordinary beauty. The highest point is the peak with the funny name Puig Major (1445 m). There are practically no fresh lakes and rivers. In the central part lies the orange-almond plain of Es Pla. Winds in winter and spring blow mainly from the north and southwest. Climate warming with outstanding summer heat has come here too. So take a closer look at the “off-season” seasons.

The weather in Mallorca in winter

The locals put on down jackets: even +10°C is cold for them. Our tourists are happy to expose their faces to the sun, as a rule, they manage with sweatshirts and go on a trip to the authentic corners of the island.

December: By our standards, late autumn: +14..16°C during the day (+19°C in 2018 for a couple of days), +9..10°C at night. You will have to winter in the sea at +16°C. December 6 and 7 are days off for Constitution Day and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Christmas Eve is called “Noche Buena” and it is customary to spend it in the family circle, so on December 24, collect your own by ordering a restaurant in advance. An excellent time to visit La Seu Cathedral, which began to be built in 1229year, and ended up with interior decoration and exterior lighting done by Antoni Gaudí already in the 20th century. Students of architectural universities will like the fact that Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque styles are represented there. Nearby, on the foundations of a Roman fortress, stands the ancient palace of La Almudaina, where the Moorish rulers and viziers lived. Half of the complex is now owned by the visiting royal family, while the National Museum is located in the other half.

Mallorca Christmas

After enjoying the architecture, you can walk through the royal Parc de la Mar, and then climb the wooded hill where stands Bellver, the round castle of Jaime II. At first it was the residence of the king, then a fortress, a military prison, and now it has become the Museum of the history of the city. On the roof there is an observation deck with magnificent views. In January, the colorful festival Festa de l’Estendard takes place in the capital. It is interesting to watch the solemn procession from the city hall to the Cathedral.

January: Day +14°C, night +7..9°C The sea cooled down another degree to +15°C. If the Fiesta in honor of San Sebastian, the patron saint of Palma de Mallorca, is not enough for you, head to the urban area of Son Espagnolet. There is a Spanish village where you can see in miniature all the sights of the mainland.

St. Anthony’s Day in Mallorca – a harsh holiday full of fire and monsters on the streets

In January, tourists are especially impressed by the holidays dedicated to St. Anthony, the patron saint of peasants and domestic animals.

February: The sea continues to winter, the water is already +14°C. In the air +13..14°C, but in recent years it has been even higher. The night is as cold as in January. This month, as a rule, falls on the Carnival, the brightest event on the island. In the Es Pla Valley, almond blossoms are the symbol of Mallorca. There is also a fig tree growing here, from the fruits of which bread is made, and carob – its ripe pods form the basis of Palo liqueur.

The Almond Blossom is the symbol of the island

Almond Blossom Fair takes place on a plantation near Son Servera. Look for “Fira de la Flor d’Ametler” posters.

Spring weather in Mallorca

The degrees are slowly but surely gaining momentum – both at sea and on land.

March: The sea, which has cooled down during the winter, warms up very gradually. While the water is still +14°C. There are a few more sunny days, the average temperature is +16°C, after sunset +9°C. March 1 is a public holiday, the Independence Day of the Balearic Islands. You can go to the ceramics fair “Fira del Fang” in the city of Marrachi.

At the ceramics fair in Marratchi

Many farmers in rural areas organize folklore and gastronomic fiestas in honor of the arrival of spring. Take an interest in the chart.

April: Less rain, more sun. Daytime average +18..19°C, night +10°C. The sea is cold, +16°C, but you can see the first bathers. Everywhere there are rural holidays. One of the largest, with a demonstration of cattle, in the city of Andratx. In the vast bay of the capital of the island – an exhibition of ships “Palma Boat Show”.

The famous Princess Sofia Regatta brings together athletes from all over the world

The Princess Sofia Trophy sailing regatta takes place here, with La Seu Cathedral in the background. The spectacular event attracts thousands of tourists to the island already in early spring.

May: Sea water warms up from +17°C at the beginning to +21°C by the end of the month. With air also – from +22°C to +28°C. Nights are still spring +14..15°C. Guests of Mallorca ply the island. The old 914 mm railroad Soller is better than any roller coaster. On it, curious tourists overcome the Sierra del Alphabia mountain range (height 496 m) under slopes sometimes reaching 23%. In a short distance of 27 km they pass 13 tunnels and the Sink Points Viaduct. They often settle in the marvelous town of Soller, where they enjoy the view of orange trees and the juices of their fruits, ice cream, cakes and kinder than in the capital, the faces of the inhabitants. You can take the authentic tram to the beaches of Puerto de Soller. Tourists use it with pleasure, considering the trip a separate attraction. Spring is coming to an end, but not rural holidays.

Legendary old train from Palma to Soller

Wine fiesta in Pollensa. In Soller, there will be a grand battle of the Moors with the Christians “Moros i Crisians” – a theatrical performance with refreshments and fireworks until the morning. The city of Capdepera in the north of the island does not lag behind and plunges into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages for three whole days.

Summer weather in Mallorca

You will find rain and clouds only in mountainous areas, but it will be extremely difficult not to notice tourists. Temperatures and prices skyrocket. One hope for last-minute tours, as sea bathing is the best at this time of year.

June: +25°C during the day, +32..33°C at the end of the month. At night +19..22°C, in water +22..23°C. By July in hot weather and all +24°C. Rain is extremely rare. The summer season begins: yachts sail, all clubs open their doors, sports tournaments take place. The season is open all month long and never gets tired: the apotheosis in the twenties is Nit del Foc, the night of fire in the capital’s Parc de la Mar. In the city of Muro, the festival is called “Festa d’es Sol que Baila”, the festival of dancing fire.

Tourists often come to Puerto de Soller to admire yachts and boats

It goes without saying that San Juan is known to every Spaniard. Since Saint Peter, the patron saint of fishermen, falls in June, parades of ships take place in the ports of the cities of Andratx and Alcudia, accompanied by the absorption of seafood on the shores.

July: Most of the month +32..35°C, at least it was last year. At night, the air cools down only to +25..27°C. In the sea, too, +25..27°C. Hot and dry. The ocean is far away, but in July 2018 a two-meter tsunami reached the western coast of the island, watch out for announcements about the level of weather danger. In Pollença there is a classical music festival, in the city of Inca there is a jazz festival. Concerts are also held at Bellver Castle.

Christians fight the Moors at La Patrona

It’s time to honor the local patron of fishermen: welcome to the creative Verge del Carme fiesta in Puerto Pollença and Porto Cristo. Do not be alarmed if you hear cannon shots and screams at the end of the month – it is at the La Patrona festival that the Moors and Christians are fighting again. This battle will end only in August, so you can not rush from the beach. Since the day is hot and people spend time at the sea, the markets in Palma, Porto Cristo and other tourist places are open at night. Do not miss the opportunity to buy souvenirs in the cool of the night.

August: The month of heat and dominance of vacationers. During the day it is constantly more than +30°C, at night +24..26°C, in water +26..27°C. Each settlement spends holidays with fires and literally hellish dances – follow the poster, everything is unpredictable and very bright. In the capital’s Parc de la Mar, an open-air movie is shown all month long.

Sand castle on Mallorca beach

The tiny town of Sa Pobla hosts world-class jazz performers. In the Bay of Palma, sailing yacht races take place for a week, in which the King of Spain sometimes takes part, since the main prize is the Copa de Rey (King’s Cup).

Autumn weather in Mallorca

At the beginning of autumn, listen to the weather forecast: if you hear “la gota fria” – a cold drop, it means that gales, hailstorms, even tornadoes are possible. But cataclysms come and go, you need to stock up on a raincoat and patience for a couple of days. And the season itself is considered the best for a holiday in Mallorca.

September: Both the air and the sea warmed up. The daytime temperature is still below +30°C, the nights are gradually becoming cool, but +18°C is not a disaster, but a long-awaited freshness and coolness. Water in the sea +24..26°C is just a gift for vacationers. This time is also loved by divers, who, by the way, praise the local underwater world very much. Where watermelons grow, Festa del Melo takes place. In other places, King Jaime I is remembered. The festival dedicated to him lasts for two whole weeks and is again accompanied – do not believe it! – theatrical battles of the Moors with Christians. The largest religious festival takes place in the city of Santa Margalida, patronized by St. Catalina Thomas. On the Night of the Arts, you can walk around the original local galleries.

Festa des Vermar in the village of Binissalem. Participants in the grape battle dressed in white

Clubs and bars will celebrate the end of the season with wild round-the-clock parties. You can hide from decibels at the festival of harvesting a new grape harvest in the village of Binissalem. One condition – you must arrive in white. There will be a grape battle and a mountain feast, where a giant paella will be prepared for the guests.

October: The first half of the month is quite swimmable, the sea is still +23..24°C. The air temperature gradually decreases from +26..27°C to +22°C, by night it cools down to +15°C and the winds are getting stronger. It can rain for a third of the month. In October 2018, San Lorenzo de Cassadar in the east of the island experienced a record amount of rainfall, a terrible flood occurred, the water rose above 3 meters, so do not take the forecasts lightly. At the beginning of October, to the delight of the arriving tourists and the deafened locals, the youth leaves, the “madhouse” ends.

Sobrassada Sausage Fair

Porto de Soller has quiet classical music concerts on the weekends. The International Marathon falls in the middle of the month; special distances are provided for different categories of runners. In the mountain village of Esporles, there is a sweet fair. In the city of Campos (Campos) festival of local sausage Sobrassada. Felanitx has a red pepper fair. In the town of Consell, there is an autumn wine festival. Golf lovers will gather at the Pinmar tournament, tennis fans are waiting for the Legends Cup.

November: Deep autumn brings an average temperature of +18°C (in 2019 it was +23°C), +11°C at night. The sea cools down from +23°C to +19°C. When it snows in the mountains, it does not reach the plains and the coast. Unlucky with the weather – go to the Carthusian monastery in Valldemossa in cell number 4, which George Sand and Chopin stopped in just in November. The composer was sick, trying to warm himself with a medieval device, which they will certainly show you. You will be warm and comfortable.

The patio of the ancient monastery where Frederic Chopin and George Sand walked

There are continuous agricultural fiestas: in the city of Muro the largest pumpkin is chosen, in the foothill village of Caimari an olive fair, in Santa Maria del Cami a festival of young wine with tastings and stories about the production process. If you want to know what “red forest mushrooms” are, look for the Esclatasang mushroom fair – it takes place at the end of the month, a festive dinner is guaranteed.

When is the best time to go on holiday to Mallorca

The weather on the island allows you to relax here at any time of the year. True, George Sand was twice wrong when she brought the sick Chopin in the winter. Firstly, they were not allowed into the hotel because they were not spouses. Secondly, in the monastery where they rented a cell, there was no normal heating. In the 21st century, it is not difficult to find out, being thousands of kilometers away, what conditions will be offered to you. People lived here even during the Paleolithic. And at other times they constantly looked. The island has a rich history. It was once part of Carthage, but pirates came and became the main ones here. They were defeated by the consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus, and the island became part of the Roman Empire. Then the Vandals came, then the Byzantines, then the fighters of the Caliphate of Cordoba. In the 13th century, the island was finally captured by the conqueror of the Moors, King Jaime I of Aragon. And the tourist history began in the 20th century. And it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end. There are practically no intervals in the flow of “companions”. Regardless of weather reports.

The weather in Palma de Mallorca

September is an excellent month to visit the Spanish resort of Palma de Mallorca. The weather at this time is warm and fairly sunny, the air warms up to + 25 … + 34 ° C during the day, there is almost no rain and wind, and swimming in the sea is still extremely pleasant and comfortable.

Mallorca, the capital of the island, will delight its guests with good, almost summer weather, which will allow you to get an even, beautiful tan, but not burn out, swim and explore all the beauties of the city and the island.

The main attraction of the city is the 14th century Gothic Bellver Castle. Perched on a cliff overlooking a cove of azure water, this castle offers one of the best views of the city and the bay. Although the building is more than seven centuries old, Belver has been preserved in excellent condition.

Other interesting places in the city include the magnificent Cathedral, Almudaina Palace, Capdepera Castle and other historical sites, of which there are many. The natural beauties of the surroundings of the capital are no less impressive: incredible mysterious caves, harsh mountains, fields, gorges and bays give the most vivid photographs and unforgettable impressions.

Things to do in Palma in September are more than good: vibrant nightlife, water parks and dolphinariums operating according to the standard schedule, and in addition, several interesting traditional holidays that are of great interest to any tourist.

For example, in the first two weeks in September, Santa Ponsa (20 minutes drive from Palma) celebrates the Festes del Rey en Jaume, or the Feast of King James. A similar holiday can be found in Soller and Pollens, but it is in Santa Ponsa that the reconstruction of the severe battles between the Moors and Christians (Moros y Cristianos) is held. The wine village of Binissalem (located just half an hour from Palma de Mallorca) is worth a visit in September, where the magnificent Sa Vermar Festival takes place at the end of the month. The holiday includes various competitions, wine tastings and a fun fight with grapes (which is mandatory to wear white clothes).

Snow rarely falls, except in the mountains at high altitude. Spring and autumn are ideal times for sports and various activities. It rains on the island mainly in late autumn and winter.

Winter in Mallorca

Winter is the low season in Mallorca and the weather is great for exploring the countryside and nature reserves. For example, you can go hiking in the Mondrago Park, go around the area on a bike or go to cafes to enjoy Mallorcan cuisine at a leisurely pace. In addition, some hotels are open in winter and have attractive special offers for the Christmas holidays.

The summer season in Mallorca lasts from June to September. In summer, there is practically no precipitation on the island, it is hot and dry. You can relax on the beach under an umbrella, try out all the water sports, and in the evening relax in the restaurant with a glass of cool wine! The only thing is to keep an eye on your valuables – now pickpockets are active on the island.

Mallorca weather in June

Average temperature +21 °C

The water warms up to 20 °C

In June, there is almost no rain in Mallorca, the sun is shining all the time, and the heat has not yet begun. It’s still cool to lie on the beach, but swimming, cycling, walking in parks and reserves are just right. In addition, in June, Palma hosts a festival of local food, and in the town of Costix, the most colorful holiday of Mallorca unfolds – the festival of flowers and selva.

Mallorca weather in July

Average temperature +25 °C

The water warms up to 24°C

The height of a hot and humid summer in Mallorca. It is hottest in the center of the island, and coolest in the Tramuntana mountains in the north. The coast is blown by the sea breeze, which saves a little from the heat. Shops and establishments close for siesta from 13:00 to 16:00, the sunny day lasts until 11:00. Take the most beautiful summer dresses on vacation to stroll along the embankment on warm evenings!

Mallorca weather in August

Average temperature +29 °C

The water warms up to 26 °C

The hottest month, but closer to September, short-term heavy showers begin. At this time, Mallorca has the most tourists, mostly Europeans, yearning for the southern sun. If you are going to the island in August, it is better to visit all the sights in the morning, before the rest of the travelers have time to wake up.

At the end of the summer, the famous battle of the Moors and Christians in Pollens takes place – a noisy costume festival that gathers many spectators and participants every year.

Autumn in Mallorca

Autumn is a heavenly time between hot summers and clear, cool winters. It’s a hot season for rock climbers and cyclists, and gastronomic tourists will love the harvest festivals, where you can taste pine nuts, mushrooms, grapes, almonds and a variety of Balearic cuisine. Go explore local wineries and sightseeing – but don’t forget your hat and sunscreen!

A very comfortable month for relaxation. You can safely wear T-shirts and summer dresses, while there is no such heat as in August. From time to time there are heavy showers, but they quickly end and are replaced by a bright sun. A great period for outdoor activities and attending a variety of family events taking place throughout the island.

Mallorca weather in October

Average temperature +23 °C

Water temperature 16 °C

One of the wettest months. Although, it only sounds like that – the island, in principle, has little rainfall, so a few showers will not cause you much inconvenience. Mallorca is ideal for autumn holidays. Take several layers of light clothing and a warm jacket for evening walks – closer to the night the temperature drops to 15 °C. Gourmets will be pleased – in October, festivals dedicated to spicy sausages, sweets, wine and all kinds of seafood dishes are seething all over the island.

Please note! On the island, as in all of Spain, there is a transition to summer and winter time: on October 25, the clocks are set back one hour, and on March 29, one hour ahead.

Mallorca weather in November

Average temperature +15 °C

Water temperature 13 °C

Coming here in November, Europeans wonder why the locals wear coats in such warm weather? Take warm clothes, comfortable shoes and go explore the island! It is now that you can catch the most amazing autumn sunsets – the entire coast is covered with yellow and orange colors.

Harvest festivals take place throughout Mallorca at the end of autumn, and the capital’s tapas festival, TaPalma Tapas, is the main event in November.

Reviews of tourists. If you don’t know when is the best time to go to Mallorca for a beach holiday, book your hotel in June.

Weather conditions. July is the driest month in Mallorca. The sun bakes with might and main. The weather is clear, there are almost no clouds and rains.

Reviews of tourists. Although it is hot in July, the heat is easily tolerated. The reason is a light wind, which is called an embat here. Many are sure that the pleasant microclimate on the island is created not only by fresh sea breezes, but also by mountainous terrain with pine trees.

Reviews of tourists. In August comes the peak of the beach season in Mallorca. It is too hot for active tourism, so vacationers sunbathe and swim in the sea all day long. In August, the beaches and hotels are crowded. We advise you to book accommodation in advance – 3-4 months before the trip.

September

Water and air temperature. At the beginning of autumn the air temperature gradually drops to +27…+28°С. At night it becomes cooler +21…+22°С. The sea, heated in summer, cools down slowly – the water temperature is + 24 ° С.

Where does this data come from?

Weather data for Costa Teguise was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.

For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in October (e.g., October 1, October 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

Costa Teguise, Canary Islands – October Weather

What’s the weather like in Costa Teguise in October
Costa Teguise, Spain, is located on the east coast of Lanzarote, to the west of Northern Africa. Its position means it’s right on the trade winds belt, and can experience rather windy conditions at times. This is both an advantage and disadvantage. While the sands can create a bit of dust for sunbathers, the waves created are ideal for a wide range of water sports which have become one of the most popular activities in the resort.

Although October is generally considered to be the beginning of autumn in the UK, the summer weather lingers well into the month in Costa Teguise, with warm temperatures and low rainfall remaining. Lows of 19°C and highs of 26°C are typical during this time of year, with sea temperatures averaging around 19°C and rainfall measuring around 10mm over the month, spread across just four days.

Temperature

As winter is starting to slowly approach the daily high temperatures are starting to gradually decrease but they can still stay around a hot 25°C at this time of year.

Daylight and Sunshine Hours

Over the course of October, the length of day is also decreasing. From the start to the end of the month in Costa Teguise, the length of day decreases by approximately 49 minutes. The shortest day of the month is October 31^st with 11:03 hours of daylight, whilst the longest day is October 1^st with 11:52 hours of daylight. However, the amount of sunshine hours stay essentially constant compared to September, where the sunshine hours are at nine hours per day.

Cloud Coverage

During October the median cloud cover stays around a mostly clear 40%, so you won’t have to worry too much about any cloud cover affecting your holiday as it should still be sunny and warm enough to still sunbathe at this time of year.

Rain

The probability of precipitation varies throughout October. Precipitation is most likely to occur around October 31^st at 19%, whilst precipitation is least likely around October 1^st at 12%. If it does rain the most common forms of rainfall at this time of year are drizzle, moderate rain and light rain.

Humidity

At this time of year the relative humidity typically ranges from a mildly humid 57% to a very humid 90%, rarely dropping below a comfortable 42% or reaching as high as 100%. On average, the air is driest around October 1^st at which time the relative humidity drops below a mildly humid 64% three days out of four, whilst the air is most humid around October 8^th at which time the humidity levels can rise above 84% three days out of four.

Wind

Lanzarote is renowned as a windy island; however, during October it certainly won’t affect your holiday. Over the course of October, the typical wind speeds vary from 4mph to 19mph, which is considered as a light to fresh breeze, rarely exceeding 25mph. At this time of year the wind is most often coming from the north followed by the northeast.

Costa Teguise Hotels in October
Celeste Apartamentos offer 85 rooms, making it one of the more intimate apartment complexes in Costa Teguise. There is a choice of one or two bedroomed apartments, sleeping between one and four guests, which come complete with private facilities, fully equipped kitchenette, and balcony or terrace. The apartments are located within walking distance of the beach, the main diving schools, and the lively bars and clubs.

The Sands Beach Resort is another popular option to take into consideration if you are thinking of staying in Costa Teguise. The resort comprises of self-catering apartments dotted around an attractive outdoor swimming pool. There are also a number of restaurants and bars onsite, as well as a gym and a variety of water sports. Believe it or not it is still warm to enough to swim in the sea at this time of year.

The three-star Mansion Nazaret offers a cosy and comfortable complex that features a heated outdoor swimming pool in the winter months and each apartment comes fitted with free Wi-Fi and satellite TVs. The resort is also located just a short distance away from Lanzarote’s Playa Cucharas Beach if you’re thinking of doing a spot of sunbathing or taking an evening stroll.

On the other hand, the three-star h20 Lanzarote Gardens offers a series of modern apartments that feature fully-equipped kitchens and living rooms. The hotel also offers a tennis court, two swimming pools and a children’s pool, as well as an on site restaurant serving a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is even a lounge bar and snack bar open by the pool for drinks and light snacks.

Costa Teguise Beach for October
Famara Beach is more than 6km wide, making it the longest beach on the island of Lanzarote. The beach features fine golden sand, although, it can get rather windy during October, making it a haven for windsurfers. Swimming is not recommended at this beach as there are strong currents, but it is an excellent spot for expert surfers and windsurfers.

Las Cucharas is one of the main beaches in the area. Spanning out over 640m long this beach offers golden sands and crystal clear waters which are lot safer for swimming than Famara. The beach also offers a wealth of amenities such as sun loungers and parasols and there are also a number of restaurants and cafes within close proximity.

Bars and Restaurants
Open nightly from 8pm, Coyote Disco is one of the few clubs in Costa Teguise. There’s a resident DJ each and every night, although for a wild time, visit on a Friday for the weekly foam party. The music here suits all tastes, ranging from Latin music and 80s and 90s classics to garage, dance, and house. Check out the schedule to see when the next happy hour is, where patrons can enjoy 2-4-1 drinks.

The Lively Lady Show Bar is a comedy bar show that has been going strong for a number of years in Costa Teguise. The shows feature comedy mime, live music and audience participation to get everyone involved. The bar offers a friendly and intimate atmosphere that is open to the whole family!

Oscar’s is a Belgian owned restaurant located in Costa Teguise. This place serves up a variety of international dishes from the classic Caesar salad to steak and chips. If you have a sweet tooth why not try one of their delicious Belgian waffles with cherries and chocolate sauce. Sounds divine!

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a typical tapas head to Casa Luis found down Avenida del Mar. This restaurants offers an array of homemade Spanish and Canarian dishes from grilled sardines to potatoes with mouthwatering Mojo sauce. Tapas is the ideal food if you’re looking for a light meal or want to try a variety of different dishes.

Things to do in Costa Teguise in October
As the weather is still stunning in October, why not cool down at the Aquapark? The whole family will have a fun day out here, with flumes, slides, and a whole host of water based fun. As well as wet and wild rides, there’s also a forested paintball area for the bigger kids. Adult day tickets cost £18, with reduced rates for children aged between 2 and 12. Under 2’s play and swim for free.

If you consider yourself a wine enthusiast and fancy a day out of town why not visit the Wine Museum of Lanzarote, which is located at the old cellars of the El Grifo wineries. The museum houses a large number of ancient tools and machinery used to create wine, dating back over the years. Entrance is only 3 Euroes per adult and includes a free wine tasting.

The Timanfaya National Park is a must visit whilst staying in Lanzarote. The park is made up of 100 extinct volcanoes covering more than 50km2. The last eruptions were back in 1824 and even today the landscape has not changed much at all. The only problem is that it is not possible to wander free around the park, but there are a number of coach trips that offer tours around the area.

As October ensures a warm climate at this time of year you may see it as the ideal opportunity to have a round of golf with a group of friends. The Costa Teguise Golf Club features an 18-hole course designed by John Harris in 1978. The course includes over 3000 palm trees and offers an extinct volcano as its backdrop. This course is a must for any golf lover.

Dates for the diary

Dia de la Hispanidad (National Day Festival) is celebrated throughout Spain and the Canary Islands on October 12^th. The day celebrates the heritage and history of Spain and as a result is designated as a public holiday, therefore, many businesses may be closed on this day, but restaurants and popular attractions are still likely to be open.

The Haria Extreme Mountain Marathon is likely to take place from October 10^th to 11^th, but make sure to look out for posters and online as dates tend to vary slightly every year. The event consists of three grueling races including a 10km, 22.5km and 32.5km run known as the “Spanish Cup.”

On October 18^th many local swimmers take on the challenge of “Travesia le Bocaina” which involves swimmers having to swim all the way to Fuerteventura! The distance is approximately 15km and is definitely not for the faint hearted.

Lanzarote Weather in October – Still Summer Temperatures

Is Lanzarote still hot in October?

October is a relatively peaceful and quiet month in Lanzarote, apart from the autumn half-term holiday period when prices also go up considerably. So if you are not conditioned by school holidays, try to plan your arrival to the island outside of that period to get a better price for flights and accommodation.

Events in October

The weather in October in Lanzarote is still quite warm and the water temperature is still perfect for swimming. And although the temperatures start to drop, the weather still feels more like summer, not autumn as we know it from back on the European continent.

Weather in Lanzarote in October

October is a good month to visit Lanzarote for those who are looking for warm weather but wish to avoid the extreme heats that occur during the summer season.

Rain is still rare during October, with an average of 2 rainy days per month. On most days, the weather will be still hot enough that you will want to hide in the shade during the afternoon hours when the sun is strong and a high SPF lotion is required.

Some mornings during October might be cloudy and it might take a few hours for the sun to come out, but on most days the sun does come and it shines bright up until around 6 PM. But those cloudy days are perfect to explore the island, which is something we always recommend to anyone coming on holiday to Lanzarote.

The island has so much to offer beyond the resorts and the all-inclusive hotels. You might think it’s a small island, but it’s packed with beautiful natural landscapes and attractions that can keep you busy for weeks if you want to discover them properly. October in Lanzarote is a perfect month for such explorations since it’s not as hot as during August or July, when being outside in the afternoons in places beyond the coast would be a nightmare, due to the high temperatures.

Temperatures in Lanzarote in October

The average high temperature in October in Lanzarote is around 27°C, while at night you can expect temperatures of around 19-20°C. At night you might need a cardi or a jacket, so be sure to bring one with you.

Average high temperature: 26.7°C (80.1°F)

Average low temperature: 19.4°C (66.9°F)

Daily mean temperature: 23°C (73.4°F)

In Lanzarote, the daily mean temperature is 23°C in October, which is calculated as a mean between the average high temperature of 26. 7°C and the average low of 19.4°C.

Record low & record high temperatures

The highest temperature ever recorded in Lanzarote in October (at the Airport station) was of 37.1°C and the lowest was of 12°C.

Since the island is mostly flat, the temperatures stay pretty much the same across all major resorts in Lanzarote: Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise.

Rainfall

Average rainfall (mm): 10 mm

Average rainy days (>=1mm): 2

Lanzarote in October usually sees an average of 2 rainy days, so it’s not what you could call a wet month. It’s a good thing that the island has so many great bars, so you’ll be covered in case you see some rainy action while you’re here.

Sunshine hours

Lanzarote gets an average of 7.5 hours of sunshine per day in October, so it’s true that the days get shorter and you will not get as much sunlight as you would during the summer months. But the days back home where you are from are probably a lot shorter than in Lanzarote; plus here’s warm and still sunny, so there are more advantages than disadvantages.

Sea temperature

The average sea temperature in October in Puerto del Carmen: 22.6°C / 72.7°F

Can you swim in Lanzarote in October?

With an average of 22.6°C / 72.7°F, the sea is at its warmest in October, especially during the first half of the month.

Swimming is not only possible in October in Lanzarote, but also one of the best pastimes during your autumn break here.

Is Lanzarote very windy in October?

October is not a windy month in Lanzarote, especially coming after the summer months, when the winds are much stronger than in autumn and winter.

October can be a month when storms are known to occur sometimes, especially towards the end of the month, but they don’t usually last long and the sun is soon back out.

In terms of which resort to choose for October, the south of the island is usually more sheltered and so Playa Blanca is usually less windy compared to Costa Teguise.

Things to do in Lanzarote in October

Usually, in October you can do everything you could do during the summer months since the weather will be on your side. From sunbathing to swimming and driving around the island, you have plenty of choices to make your holiday one to remember.

Visit Arrecife

Arrecife is Lanzarote’s capital and a nice place to visit for the day.

Don’t miss brunch at the Arrecife Gran Hotel, the tallest building on the island, from where you’ll get a spectacular view of the city and beyond it. Plus, they have great juices and coffee and cakes as well, so why not splurge a little? (although the restaurant is not that expensive to start with).

Playa de Famara

Famara beach is popular among surfers and other sports enthusiasts. Even if you are not a surfer yourself (we’re not) you can still enjoy the scenery, with the amazing cliffs in the backdrop. It’s also a beautiful place to watch the sunset, especially for those looking for a romantic setup.

10 travel destinations where it’s warm and sunny in October
News The Canary Islands, Cyprus, Mauritius and a couple more places where the weather is beautiful in autumn and there is a lot of sun.
Costa Brava, Spain
Average daytime temperature: 19°C
Those who believe that all the attraction of Catalonia lies in the bars and restaurants of Barcelona forget about the Costa Brava – 160 km of coast from the port of Blanes to the French border. The northeastern part of Spain has some of the best beaches in the country, as well as popular resorts like Cadaqués, La Escala and Lloret de Mar.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
Average daytime temperature: 21 °C
The Amalfi Coast is said to be so beautiful that it is in love with its own reflection in the Gulf of Salerno. There is something to fall in love with: the cities of Positano, Ravello, Scala, Amalfi itself and, of course, Capri, shimmering near the cape of the Sorrentino Peninsula.
Essaouira, Morocco
Average daytime temperature: 22°C
In this outpost of Morocco’s east coast, temperatures during the European winter mostly stay around the 20°C mark. The medina of the city is included in the list of UNESCO sites – you can’t do without atmospheric photos. But the main advantage of Essaouira is the long curving beach, which is great for kiting and windsurfing.
Santorini, Greece
Average daytime temperature: 22°C
The beauty of this Cyclades coastline is literally the story of a phoenix rising from the ashes. Once upon a time, Santorini belonged to the ancient civilization of Thira until the strongest volcanic eruption (around the 16th century BC) half destroyed the island. What is especially magical here: the steep cliffs sloping down to the Aegean Sea, the beautiful cities of Oia and Fira, as well as balconies, verandas and restaurants facing west, where the sun sets.
Cyprus
Average daytime temperature: 25°C
The third largest island in the Mediterranean, with spacious beaches and rich history. People have been living here for more than 12 thousand years – it is not surprising that there are many ancient sights here, including the royal tombs in Nea Paphos and the ancient city of Kourion. For most tourists, Cyprus is a story about the sea and a lively coastline, like in Limassol, Paphos or Ayia Napa, with lively bars and nightclubs.
Lanzarote, Spain
Average daytime temperature: 25°C
The Canary Islands are Europe’s most reliable option for an autumn or winter holiday, with temperatures rarely falling below 20°C. On the fourth largest of this group of islands (and the easternmost), Lanzarote, you can spend a relaxed vacation in three resort areas on the south coast – Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen. It has bars, restaurants, a local atmosphere in Arrecife, the capital of the municipality, as well as stunning views of the volcanic landscapes in the Timanfaya National Park.
Bali, Indonesia
Average daytime temperature: 31°C
Indonesia is a big country, but there is always some confusion about what to do on its most famous island. Sun-drenched Bali is the perfect holiday destination, much loved by Europeans and Australians alike (although the latter are far more comfortable to get to). Look for beach resorts in Kuta and Seminyak, and if you want privacy and silence, then choose five-star hotels hidden in the jungle around Ubud.
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Average daytime temperature: 35°C
The largest of the Arab Emirates, perhaps, does not have the luxury of its closest neighbor, Dubai. Despite this, here you can perfectly hide from the European autumn and winter, as the temperature here exceeds 30 ° C. Throw in local beaches, ornate hotels and gourmet restaurants on Yas Island and you have a place that truly knows how to please guests.
Mauritius
Average daytime temperature: 27°C
One of the most amazing examples of how a volcano crater turned into a paradise island. From December to March, during the European winter, the rainy season in Mauritius, which, however, does not stop tourists. Partly because even at this time on the island the temperature is around the 30 ° C mark.
Hawaii, USA
Average day temperature: 29°C
The famous American archipelago in the Pacific Ocean consists of eight main islands. In Hawaii – the “Big Island” – there are two grandiose volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Oahu, the most populated island, is home to the state capital, Honolulu. On Kauai, on the Napali Coast, there are sheer cliffs. The coast of Maui is ideal for surfing. And everywhere – the temperature is slightly below 30 ° C, regardless of the month.

Climate in Spain by seasons, months and regions

High season

Summer

Autumn

Winter

Spring

The climate of Spain is ideal for year-round recreation. Summers are hot here, up to +32°C, winters are warm and without precipitation (not colder than +4°C), there are no sharp temperature changes between seasons.
Most tourists visit Spain in the summer, during the holiday season. The warm sea, picturesque landscapes and sandy beaches attract thousands of chocolate tan lovers from all over the world.
In July and August there are almost no rooms available in hotels in Spain.
Low season
If you don’t like queues and crowds of tourists, we recommend visiting Spain in March-April or autumn – in October-November. In spring, daylight is already long, it is warm on the coast in summer, but it is still cold to swim – it’s time to go on an excursion to Barcelona or Valencia.
September in Spain is a velvet season, there are still many vacationers on the beaches, but in October-November the tourist flow noticeably weakens. Rains are not uncommon in autumn, but other reasons are only in favor of traveling to Spain.
First, juicy grapefruits, pomegranates, clementines and other fruits ripen.
Secondly, with the end of the tourist season, prices drop to the “winter” level. Everything is getting cheaper, from hotels to museum tickets.
And the main reason why you should come to Spain in autumn is the lack of queues!
Main climatic zones
Spain is considered to be the warmest country in South Europe. And indeed: where else in Europe can one count about three hundred sunny days a year?
However, there are distinct seasonal weather patterns in different parts of the country. There are four climatic zones in Spain.

The temperate-marine climatic zone covers the northwestern and northern parts of the country, washed by the waters of the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. Despite the beautiful locations along the long coastline of the Atlantic coast, tourists rarely choose this region for their summer holidays. After all, the water temperature, for example, in Bilbao, even in August does not reach + 22 ° C degrees. And in general, the summer here is not at all hot. In winter, the coast is warm and damp. This part of Spain leads in terms of annual rainfall, which is why it is often called “wet” Spain.

Moderate continental climate zone. The Galician massif and the mountains of Cantabria are the border separating its dry part from the “wet” Spain. The central regions of the country are located in this zone. It is quite cold here in winter, and in summer, on the contrary, it is too hot, according to many Europeans. The climate is traditionally considered dry, which is why this part of the territory is called “dry Spain”. Rains are extremely rare, especially plentiful. But there are exceptions.

So, at the end of August 2021, everyone was unpleasantly surprised by a heavy downpour with hail that suddenly hit Madrid and its environs, paralyzing roads and disrupting the metro of the Spanish capital.

Subtropical Mediterranean climate zone. It contains most of Spain: the eastern regions and the Balearic Islands – Ibiza, Menorca, Mallorca, Formentera.

These places attract tourists especially often. In resorts in the Mediterranean climate zone, summers are hot and rather dry, and winters are mild and humid.

Tropical climate zone. This is just the heavenly place where eternal spring reigns, it is never too hot or too cold. There is no such thing as a rainy season. This is the Canary Islands.

Costa Blanca
“White Coast”, Costa Blanca, corresponds to the coastline of the province of Alicante. Due to the moderate amount of rainfall, the northern part of the Costa Blanca is decorated with quite lush vegetation. And the climate here is milder than in the south of the coast.
End point of the “green” part of the Costa Blanca – Benidorm. Further the landscape changes, becomes more deserted. The area from Alicante to Torrevieja is more like a steppe. In summer, the air temperature here can reach +35°C or even +40°C.

28.8 OL COul The climate in Spain in June is very good. This is the time of rapid flowering of vineyards, whose delicate aroma is incomparable.
For those who prefer leisurely rather than active rest, the beginning of summer is the best time. You can calmly and for a long walk around the city, seeing the sights, or, not being afraid to burn in the sun, bask on the Mediterranean coast,
Of course, summer comes to every part of Spain in different ways: somewhere very quickly, rapidly bursting with its warmth, and somewhere gradually increasing degrees. Such climate features emphasize the individuality of the country and attract travelers who want to experience the different climatic conditions in Spain.

With the onset of mid-July, mild warm weather turns into heat almost everywhere. This month, perhaps, the maximum number of sunny days and warm nights. Throughout the entire period, you can observe a clear sky, when there is almost no rain.

Only in the northern regions of the country on the Atlantic coast can you catch a small amount of precipitation, but, as a rule, they do not linger for more than one day. Hot and dry weather prevails in the central regions throughout the month.
It gets even hotter towards the end of summer. Sometimes August becomes a real test not only for tourists, but also for the Spaniards, who know what this hot sun is capable of.
Most shops and other establishments are open during the holiday season only in the morning and evening, and during extremely high temperatures during the day, from noon to the five o’clock mark, the streets of Spanish cities can be completely empty. Many spend time in shady parks near the water, and more often they relax at home.
Weather in Spain in autumn

At the beginning of September, a beach holiday lasts, and the weather is quite favorable for this: air and water temperatures are still quite high. If it rains on the coast, then, as a rule, it is quickly replaced by an almost summer sun.

This is an ideal time for lovers of a relaxing holiday, because many beaches are gradually emptying: the school year begins, and many families who spent holidays by the sea with their children are returning home.

The weather can change dramatically in the second half of the month: it rains more often, and the sea is stormy. Even in the south of the country, seaside resorts are subject to such sharp drops, when the sky is covered with dark clouds for several days.

Tourists with extensive experience, knowing the climatic features, prefer the very beginning of autumn for recreation, when there is little rain and a lot of sun.

Recently, the climate, including in Spain, has been rapidly changing and can manifest itself with anomalous phenomena, catching not only visitors by surprise. So, on September 11, 2021, there was a severe flood in the southeast of Spain, which was provoked by heavy rainfall – this has not happened in the last hundred years.

Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia – these are far from all the affected areas of the country, where a red alert level was declared and people were evacuated. Rivers quickly overflowed their banks, forming floods, washing out roads, destroying the infrastructure of the provinces. Cars were washed off highways by water currents. Traffic was disrupted in seaports and on railway lines.

The Balearic Islands are also at the mercy of the elements.

Canary Islands

Holidays in the Canary Islands (1500 km from the Spanish coast) for Europeans has long been an indicator and a synonym for prestige. These islands are only 100 km. from Africa. Hotels accept tourists all year round, in summer it is + 29-30 degrees, and in winter the temperature drops only to + 23⁰С; accordingly, the water near the coast in summer + 23-24⁰С, and in winter + 17-20⁰С.

Tenerife

Here are the most popular hotels, and almost 1 million people live permanently on the main Canary Island.

Resorts: Las Americas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, El Medano, Costa Adeje, Puerto de la Cruz.

Famous attractions include climbing Mount Teide, a trip to an ancient village in the Maschi Gorge, a visit to Loro Park.

Gran Canaria

The second largest island, it also has a dormant volcano in the center. The resorts are mainly in the south and east, the most famous is Maslapomas with golden dunes and beaches. Puerto Rico, Playa del Ingles, San Agustin, Bahia Feliz are also popular.

Lanzarote

A distinctive feature of the island is lunar landscapes, hardened lava of extinct volcanoes, interesting original towns, wonderful nature. The beaches occupy the southeastern and southern parts of the island, the sand is white and the water is clear. Resorts: Arrecife, Puerto Calero, Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen.

Beach tourist seasons in the resorts of Spain

The beginning of the beach season is traditionally May – June, and the end – the end of September – the beginning of October. The beginning and end of the tourist season is suitable for those lovers of a relatively inexpensive vacation who are not chasing the warm sea, but are trying to save money: at this time there are fewer people on the beaches.

Hot July and August – for those who prefer an exceptionally well-warmed sea, where you can swim for hours. This is the peak tourist season, which, as you know, has its drawbacks. It is difficult to find free places in good hotels – they are all booked, and prices in hotels and restaurants skyrocket.

Not a single summer tourist season is complete without entertainment. There are many holidays and festivals in Spain that you want to visit and, perhaps, participate in.

At the beginning of July, the Fiesta de San Fermin is held in ancient Pamplona. And even if the air temperature is well over 30°C, who will miss the bull races?

In July, fifty kilometers from the capital of Catalonia, the Balloon Festival is held annually – a celebration of extraordinary beauty, which is visited by participants and tourists from many European countries. Each of them takes away a lot of impressions and unforgettable memories.

In the last days of August, when the air in the Spanish streets warms up to exorbitant levels, you can witness the famous La tomatina festival: crowds of people take part in the tomato battle, sometimes even swimming in puddles of tomato juice.

For those travelers who go to Spain only for a beach holiday and warm sea, the Costa Blanca and Murcia are well suited. Here, perhaps, the warmest sea water in the summer months.

After all, the well-known principle “the further south, the warmer the sea” does not work in Spain, and you need to know about the climate when ordering a tour to this country. For example, the seemingly magnificent geographical position of the beaches of the Costa del Sol is not always happy with the warm sea: such is the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

However, the resort of Marbella, located in the coastal zone of the Costa del Sol region, is very popular with tourists with high incomes. It is considered one of the most fashionable and fashionable holiday destinations, obviously due to the completely unique microclimate that has formed in this part of Spain.

Perhaps when asked where Spain has the best climate to live, some wealthy foreigners answered by buying houses in elite residential villages in the suburbs of Marbella. Here, during the year, the air temperature does not change sharply, as in other regions of the country, but rather mildly: neither a stuffy summer nor a cold winter is felt. And the sun shines almost all year round.

Malaga boasts the same favorable climate, with mild winters thanks to mountain ranges. It is known that Malaga was recognized as the best city in Spain in terms of quality of life back in 2021.

It can be said that the inhabitants of the city and the guests of the capital of the Costa del Sol are lucky with the climate: in winter, the temperature does not drop below 15°C. Summer is also quite comfortable: the average temperature does not rise above 27°C.

But the strongest hurricane and storm that hit Malaga at the end of August 2021 and caused a lot of trouble, once again confirmed the fact that the climate around the world is changing dramatically. And is it possible to find the perfect place to stay? Nobody will answer this question. Well, with the tourist season – how lucky. Some tourists, especially avid bloggers, are even interested in watching natural disasters.

The Costa Brava resort does not always boast ideal summer weather. Although the water can warm up to 26 ° C, but this is the maximum that is possible only by August. The same cold current from the Atlantic is to blame.

In addition, all the precipitation that rises from the south of the country usually collects in this region. Therefore, it often rains in summer, but they also pass very quickly, without interfering with rest.

But the Costa Dorada and the Balearic Islands open the beach season in May. The weather is so good that the beauties of these places can be enjoyed until mid-October.

There is something to admire: the landscape of Mallorca, where the plains smoothly turn into hills, and then into mountain ranges, where rocky bays alternate with golden sandy beaches, is unique.

Palma de Mallorca, with its typically Mediterranean climate, has a rather smooth transition from one season to another. There are never sharp changes in day and night temperatures, so you can plan a vacation for any month.

In addition to a beach holiday, you can go surfing or kiting, sailing on yachts. Those who wish to get acquainted with the underwater world prefer the months when the water becomes warmer.

The other islands of the Spanish archipelago in the western Mediterranean, Menorca and Formentera, are also famous for their magnificent beaches with shimmering sand and turquoise bays.

Wonderful climate and the possibility of solitude attract tourists here who dream of a calm measured rest.

Ibiza, on the contrary, attracts young people looking for freedom and noisy entertainment.

At the height of summer, the water temperature in another part of Spain – in the Canary Islands – rises to barely 24-25°C, which is noticeably inferior to the indicators of the Mediterranean coast. The features of sea currents are such that it is in winter, spring and autumn that the water warms up in the Canary Islands and becomes warmer than in the Pyrenees.

And it is no coincidence that crowds of tourists come to Tenerife in winter: here the water is warm, and, by the way, the world-famous Santa Cruz de Tenerife carnival.

Summer holidays in the Canary Islands are well suited for those who are not satisfied with the climate of the Spanish continent. As a rule, there are no heavy rains and destructive hurricanes on the islands. No wonder the Canary Islands are called the kingdom of eternal spring: both in winter and summer, the air temperature ranges from 21 to 25 ° C.

Playa de las Americas, one of the most popular resorts in Tenerife, has earned fame as the “Canarian Riviera” for its unique beauty and variety of tourist attractions. Here year-round tropical temperature – from 21 to 30 ° C, dry and comfortable weather. January and February are considered to be the active tourist season – the ideal time for sunbathing and swimming in the sea.

Gran Canaria marks the beginning of the calendar spring with the opening of the Almond Blossom Festival, one of the favorite holidays not only for locals, but also for visitors to the island. Everyone enjoys tasting the numerous sweets with almonds and appreciating the taste of almond wine. Lots of fun and quite comfortable weather. Summer and autumn also have their advantages.

In most regions of Spain, the beach season officially ends in October. It may rain for several long days. The temperature of the water drops gradually, and the air temperature – rather quickly.

Swimming in the sea, and especially getting out of the water, is uncomfortable because of the wind. It gets cold after sunset.

The weather noticeably deteriorates with the advent of November. However, for Europeans from countries with a temperate climate, this period resembles the beginning of autumn in their latitudes.

Monthly air temperature

January in Spain, as in any country in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Earth, is the coldest month. The air temperature can fluctuate depending on the sunny and rainy day, but never falls below +4° and then rarely, mostly on the thermometer in January +7-12°. The Spanish winter is similar to the Crimean one, here the climate is mild even in the coldest month of the year.

Weather in Spain by months in the table.

In February, the temperature begins to rise by a couple of degrees, hinting that spring is just around the corner. Precipitation is becoming less and less air-cooling humidity. The days are getting longer and the sun has time to heat the streets up to +15-20°C.

March is already a rather warm month, but due to the beginning of spring rains, it is too early to swim in the sea and the temperature does not rise above +22°, remaining on average +20°. April and May days in the southern country mark the beginning of summer. The air temperature is stable at around + 20-27 °. Already at this time the holiday season begins and you can safely swim in the sea.

Full-fledged summer begins already at the end of May, in June, July and August the temperature on the thermometer steadily shows +25-35°. Hot air from the sea heats up the streets of the city even more, rainfall is minimal in summer. In September, summer is still in full swing. The temperature keeps from +25° to +30°.

The holiday season continues and only at the beginning of October the temperature gradually begins to fall by 2-3 degrees. However, autumn in Spain is not the same as in Russia, warm days here last until mid-November, when the air temperature on the thermometer shows + 17-21 °. Nights in November can be quite cold, around +14°, which means that winter is coming.

From mid-November until the end of December, the temperature drops sharply. On the street in the shade, the level of the mercury column does not rise to +18 ° in December. Most often, the days at the beginning of winter are dry and cold. December is the least rainy month of the year.

Excursion tourist seasons

When talking about traveling to Spain, they do not always mean the beach season – high, low, velvet – depending on the season. Sometimes it can be just a sightseeing tour or sightseeing combined with a seaside vacation.

In this case, the priority may not be beach idleness, which is promised by numerous resorts in Spain, but the desire to see as many beautiful and famous historical places as possible, of which there are so many in the country.

Of course, Barcelona is beyond competition. It is not in vain that it is called the cultural heart of the country: in terms of the number of unique sights (the architectural masterpieces of Gaudi alone are worth something!) The capital of Catalonia can outshine many of the largest cities in the world. But what is the climate in Barcelona, you still need to figure it out.

The city, dominated by a Mediterranean-type climate with rather mild and not very wet winters, as well as hot, relatively dry summers, creates comfortable conditions for tourists. However, like some other cities in Spain, Barcelona has recently come under the influence of abnormal natural phenomena: sometimes in the middle of summer, showers fall on the city.

Tarragona, another famous Catalan city, is good in any season: it has a typical Mediterranean climate. From the end of February to the first days of March, the spectacular and fun El Carnaval de Tarragona takes place.

There are many architectural and historical monuments in the city: the Roman amphitheater and the Roman forum, the medieval cathedral, the palace of the Roman governor, several interesting museums. In the summer, wide beaches with golden sand await tourists.

Seville, the capital of Andalusia, is located in the south of the country, in the fertile plain part of the Guadalquivir river valley.

The best time to visit Seville is September. And not only because during this period there is, as a rule, pleasant warm weather with a small amount of rain. This is the time of the world-famous Flamenco Festival, which captivates with its unique beauty and fiery passion.

And if you come to Seville in April, you can get to the famous fair and see incredible illuminations, fireworks, participate in folk festivals and taste the traditional fish dinner – el pescaíto.

And in the opposite part of Spain – northern – you can find a resort beloved by many Europeans. It is especially popular with French or British tourists and has the status of one of the most expensive, on a par with Barcelona and even Madrid. This is San Sebastian, a city in the Basque Country – fashionable, elegant and long chosen by surfers.

The climate here is temperate Atlantic. In summer, there is almost no strong heat, rarely the thermometer rises to 25 ° C, but not higher. The water in the bays of the ocean is not very warm compared to other Spanish resorts. Swimming is comfortable only in July – August.

The season from May to the end of September is usually always clear and sunny, with rain only during the winter or off-season. But in autumn, once in this city, you can witness one of the most prestigious events in European film culture – the San Sebastian International Film Festival.

Average number of hours of sunshine per day

Spain is considered to be a fairly sunny country, where there are no cloudy and short days, by Russian standards, even in winter. So, for example, in January, the daylight hours last 9-10 hours. Sunrise starts at 8 am, sunset at 6 pm. However, it is light outside until 8 pm, given civil twilight, when the sun is no longer visible in the sky, but the horizon is still visible.

In the middle of spring, the hours of sunshine increase to 14 hours a day. The sun shines from 7 am to 9in the evening, absolute darkness comes in the spring only at 11 pm. June 20, 2021 in Spain will be the longest daylight hours, it will last 15 hours 10 minutes and 21 seconds. After that, the day will begin to decrease, in July-August the day lasts 13-14 hours.

Clothes to take with you

When you travel, it’s important to check the weather forecast and bring clothes that will suit the local climate. What can’t you do without? First of all, it depends on the season, as well as on the location of the region and the purpose of the trip: whether you are waiting for hot sandy beaches or excursions through the narrow rocky streets of the Gothic quarters.

Undoubtedly, on hot summer days you can not do without hats and sunglasses. It is desirable that clothing be made of natural and breathable fabrics.

In early May and late September, a light windbreaker is required. For sightseeing tours with visits to monasteries, despite the absence of a strict dress code in Spain, it is advisable to have clothing that covers bare legs: mini skirts and shorts are not welcome.

In spring and autumn, light jackets or raincoats are needed, as there are cool days and especially evenings. In winter, an autumn jacket or coat will be enough: winters are quite warm by European standards.

Fur shoes are also not useful if you are not going to the mountains. However, skiers should not be given advice at all: as a rule, even beginners in this matter prepare very carefully for the trip, and experienced tourists will certainly not forget any of the clothes that are simply necessary in the mountains.

It is known that some tourists go to Spain with empty suitcases. And they are right: in this amazing country you can not only have a pleasant and beautiful rest, but also enjoy a very special atmosphere in stores where you can always find high-quality clothes not only from world-famous designers, but also from young talented Spanish couturiers.

The map of Spain literally beckons and calls you on the road. And at any time of the year. After all, any bad weather is “easy to fix with an umbrella”, and the impressions of the trip will remain with you for a long time.

The best time for excursions

If you don’t know what to do in autumn or spring, go to Spain – there is something to be surprised!

Spain is not only beautiful beaches and gentle sea, fun nightlife or shopping, but also gastronomic delights, medieval castles and cities, passion for flamenco and bullfighting, rich culture and history of this unique European country. There are so many fascinating places here that it’s hard to figure out where to go and what to see. Either to the temperamental Andalusian south of Spain, where Arab and Spanish blood is combined, or to the northwest with the unique culture of the Basques, or to the west with calm, measured Galicia, to the center of Spain with furious Castile, or to the northeast with the unique Catalonia.

7 Corralejo Tours of Fuerteventura

Where to Stay in Corralejo

Best Excursions From Corralejo

When I booked my trip to travel from Southern Lanzarote to Northern Fuerteventura, I didn’t fully know what to expect.

I made a rough plan of where to stay with limited research and planned to see the majority of the Islands using various excursions.

Sadly, I should have planned a lot more time in Corralejo, the resort town in Northern Fuerteventura, where some of the best excursions in the islands depart from.

Lobos Island is a popular day trip from Corralejo

Corralejo ended up being the highlight of my Canary Islands trip. The chilled-out surfer town was on my wavelength. The resort town has a wonderful Californian feel, with wide sun-baked streets that are lined with cool surf shops and places to eat.

There is so much to do around the town with epic surfing beaches along the coast and huge dunes formed by sand blowing across the Atlantic from the Sahara as the desert looks to expand its reach.

When I planned my trip, I decided to stop in Corralejo so I could visit Isla de Lobos and then head south to Fuerteventura where I would then take tours of the island.

However, after booking the trip I realized that pretty much all day tours depart from Corralejo and I had to alter my trip slightly so I could attend the tours and, thankfully, spend some more time in Corralejo.

I had spent year shunning tours until recently when I discovered how much easier they make things. Before reaching Fuerteventura, I took two tours on Lanzarote that, in all honesty, left a sour taste in my mouth as they were huge group tours that seemingly were more focused on taking you to various gift shops.

Thankfully, Fuerteventura restored my faith in tours and an amazing tour of the island from Corralejo was probably one of my highlights of the whole trip.

There are plenty of tours and excursions from Corralejo that make it hard to decide which one you should go on. To help you make this decision, I have put together this guide that will take you through some different options for tours and Corralejo excursions that will be sure to wow you as you take in the beauty of the island.

Another great thing to note is that many of these tours are easy to get to the meeting point (or have pickup) from several Airbnbs in Corralejo!

Do You Need Travel Insurance for Fuerteventura?

Yes, we recommend you book travel insurance for the Canary Islands and Fuerteventura. Many tours from Corralejo are active and with uncertain weather conditions, it is always a good idea to book travel insurance before your trip.

We recommend using SafetyWing as they specialize in widespread coverage at affordable rates. It is who we use when traveling!

Duration: 8 hours
Activities: Sightseeing
Languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian
⇒ Book it Here

A stop on the Fuerteventura panoramic tour from Corralejo

The Panoramic Tour of Fuerteventura is one of the best tours I have even been on. You will be picked up from your hotel in Corralejo by the tour guide before setting off on an epic trip around pretty much all of the Fuerteventura.

You will visit the epic Corralejo sand dunes before heading down the eastern coast of the island, driving through Puerto del Rosario and seeing the incredible murals and statues dotted around the city before making the long drive to the south of the island where you will check out the fantastic beaches and views of Costa Calma.

You will then cruise along the western coast of Fuerteventura stopping at Ajuy, where you will eat lunch in one of the local restaurants before exploring the cliffs caves to the north of the town. As you make your way through the rugged and mountainous landscape, you will stop at spectacular panoramic viewpoints where you can take in the raw beauty of the island.

You’ll continue through the island, checking out a few other towns and traditional windmills as you head back to the Corralejo. This tour was further enhanced by the amazing tour guide who made the experience far more enjoyable with his wit and in-depth knowledge of the island.

The routes and places visited on the tour can change depending on the day, although you will hit up all the main sites. The tour lasted for around 8 hours, although if longer is needed then it will continue until all the main sites have been seen. Lunch is not included in the price of the tour but there are plenty of options when you stop for all budgets.

Fuerteventura: Trekking Tour Through the North of the Island (6 hours)

Duration: 6 hours
Activities: Hiking (Easy level)
Languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian
⇒ Book it Here

Explore the beauty of northern Fuerteventura on this amazing trekking tour. After being picked up, you will head to Lajares where you will hike up to the summit of Calderon Hondo. At the top of the volcano, you will be greeted with stellar views of the northern shore and out to Lanzarote and its cities like Playa Blanca.

You will then drive on to El Cotillo where you will have a rest and take the opportunity to eat in one of the many great restaurants in the cute fishing village. From the village, you will explore the coastline which is home to beautiful lagoons and stunning geographical features created by the violent power of the Atlantic Ocean.

To the north of El Cotillo is the El Toston Lighthouse, a functioning lighthouse that is surrounded by the incredible natural beauty that will not fail to take your breath away.

The tour lasts around 6 hours and includes pick-up from your Corralejo hotel. Group sizes are limited to 8 people, which makes for an intimate tour with your qualified tour guide who is an expert on the geology of the island. Lunch is not included in the price of the Corralejo tour.

Corralejo: Round-Trip Ferry to Isla de Lobos Tickets (4 hours)

Duration: 4 hours
Activities: Ticket for boat trip
Languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian
⇒ Book it Here

Hanging out on a beach on Lobos Island

Just off the coast of Corralejo is Isla de Lobos, a small island that is a designated nature reserve. The island is strictly protected with only 400 people allowed to visit the island each day, split into two shifts of 200 people (update: from January 2020- the system is not currently working so you can just go with these boat tickets- will update if it changes back).

On the island, you will be free to explore with plenty of incredible hikes available. There are also beautiful beaches and pristine waters for snorkeling there.

I chose to hike my way to the top of Montaña La Caldera. From the top, you are greeted with fantastic views across the island and out to sea. The hike to the top isn’t too strenuous, although I would definitely take plenty of water with you as there is no shelter from the heat.

I found that during the four hours on Lobos Island, it is best to choose one thing to focus on visiting or you will find it a little stressful unless you bring bikes with you. For those wanting to bike, the island is relatively flat and with good tires, you will be able to travel around easily.

There is a small settlement on the south of the island with a fantastic little seafood restaurant where you can get some tasty fried fresh fish. If you are in a group, I advise booking a table ahead of time.

You will cruise south from Corralejo leaving the main road to travel down the dirt paths that lead to Cofete. You will stop off at a stunning viewpoint to view the wild beach where the waters are too dangerous to swim in. You will then visit a villa built by the Germans in the 1940s that is believed to the site of covert operations during World War 2.

You’ll also visit a small, sheltered cove where, if weather permits, you will be allowed to swim before heading to a traditional village for a delicious lunch.

Your final stop will be the dramatic and ancient lighthouse of Punta Jandia. The tour lasts all day and lunch is included in the price.

Where to Stay in Corralejo

My hotel in Corralejo was perhaps one of my favorite things about the city and my entire stay in Fuerteventura! I chose to stay at an Adults-Only hotel when I was there as I wasn’t keen on staying at a family resort in the particular city and it was a breath of fresh air… no offense to those traveling as a family!

I stayed at Hotel Vacanzy- Urban Boutique Adults-Only hotel when in Corralejo. The hotel had insanely awesome rooms, quiet corridors and public spaces, and a beautiful rooftop terrace equipped with hot tubs, lounge chairs, and a bar. I was in heaven. I highly, highly recommend staying at Hotel Vacanzy’s Urban Boutique if you’re in Corralejo and without children.

Hotel Vacanzy Urban Boutique Hotel

The following hotels are also highly rated places to stay in Corralejo:

Hotel Vacanzy Urban Boutique (adults-only)

La Buena Vida by Comfortable Luxury

Native Coconut House

Surf Riders Fuerteventura

Avanti Lifestyle Hotel (adults-only)

Back hanging out in Corralejo after the tours

These are the best Corralejo excursions for travelers heading to Fuerteventura and basing themselves in the northern city. If you have any questions, please reach out! Thanks!

Excursions and activities in Fuerteventura – Leisure & tours on holiday

Booking excursions and activities in Fuerteventura quickly and easily on sunbonoo. com. Get to know, what you can explore on the dream island. The holiday island Fuerteventura is famous for its miles-long, white sandy beaches with a crystal-clear, turquoise sea. Enjoy the lonely beaches of Jandía or join a trip to the most popular beach of the island, Cofete beach. It’s 12 km long, completely untilled and surrounded by a stunning natural landscape. We also can recommend the beach La Concha in El Cotillo, which is sheltered from the swell by a natural reef. It’s ideal for i.e. Stand Up Paddling, where you glide gently over the water. But also for all other kinds of water sports, Fuerteventura is a perfect place for holidays.

Due to numerous beautiful beaches and an impressive volcanic landscape, the island was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009. Fuerteventura is not only famous for beaches and volcanos, but also for the tasty cheese that’s produced in many local cheese dairies. You shouldn’t miss buying one of the original Fuerteventura’s cheeses on site and savour it with a delicious glass of wine (or bring it back home as a perfect gift). The city Betancuria is the oldest city of Fuerteventura, it is from the 15th century and located in a very dry area of the island. Back then it was the capital of the island. In the archaeological museum of the city, you can exclusively glance into the life of the former natives.

Or get a little more active in your holidays and combine sightseeing and relaxing: What about a romantic catamaran tour in Fuerteventura? You can book it privately and exclusively for up to 10 people, but it’s also ideal as a gift for your loved ones. On sunbonoo you can find the most popular and best boat trips in Fuerteventura.

Next to the favoured water parks of Fuerteventura, the leisure park “Oasis Park Fuerteventura” offers a varying excursion program. He opened in 1985 and it originally started as a little garden centre with plants from all over the world. Today it is the only botanical garden of Fuerteventura with more than 150,000 square metres. At the same time, the zoological garden established. Bit by bit, the park specialised on animals from the African savanna. They now live in generously shaped compounds that imitate their natural habitat in order to ensure the well-being of the animals and give the visitors the chance to see them acting freely. The Oasis Park now is a million square metres big, housing more than 3,000 animals from 250 various species and thousands of tropical trees, bushes, palm trees, cactuses and succulents. The park is performing extensive publicity, informing elaborately about endangered species and supports their preservation by taking part in international breeding programs, for example for the north-African Cuvier’s gazelle. Hightlights are i.e. the picturesque flamingo pond, a big compound for animals of the African savanna, the department of Madagascar, in which the visitors can get to know Lemurs and other animals closely and without separation, as well as the giraffe’s compound, where you can touch and feed the animals. Also the animal shows with sea lions, birds of prey and parrots are popular among all age groups. On the huge area you can also find playgrounds, restaurants and many more.

Fuerteventura is a paradise for water sports, wind- and kite surfers. The strong winds and up to 2 metres high waves are almost luring the water sportmen onto the sea. If you like to have sports- and activity holidays, Fuerteventura is the right place for your vacations. The nature park of Corralejo has probably the most paradisial sand beach of Fuerteventura, which is located at the end of the dunes. You really have to see it, because describing its beauty with words is almost impossible. Join one of our jeep safaris or round trips, which are offered during the whole year, and check it out personally.

In the beautiful city centre of Corralejo, you can join a mini segway tour. These segways are a little bit smaller than the usual segways, but are at least the same amount of fun! Discover the city centre of Corralejo on this agile vehicle. Enjoy the speed when driving through the lanes and streets of the city, while the German-speaking guide reveals interesting information to the buildings, places and attractions. So you can not only see a lot of beautiful sights in less time, but also have fun cruising through the unknown city. Mix sightseeing and nature!

Islote de Lobos is another nature park that is famous for its exotic plants and birds, which can’t be found in no other place in the world. Many years ago, only Mediterranean monk seals and sea lions lived there – but now…! It’s definitely worth the trip by boat, for example with the water taxi. The water taxi drives you once around the island of Lobos to show it to you from another perspective. Go on land to relax and forget your everyday’s worries – this is holidays!

We also like to help you assembling a nice program with the best excursions in Fuerteventura. There are numerous excursions with children in Fuerteventura or you go and discover the island on your own terms. If you have a rental car, Fuerteventura can be easily explored and you can reach the best sights and excursions. If you’re insecure about your holiday activities, just check out our bestsellers of Fuerteventura.

We wish you an amazing holiday in Fuerteventura!

✈️What to see in Fuerteventura in one day

Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canary Islands and is the one closest to the African coast. Studded with white beaches and bays with transparent waters, surprises for its luxuriant flora of tamarisks, aloes and palms that tinge its hills with green that slope gently towards the Atlantic waves.

If its coasts are spectacular, the hinterland is no less: the island was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and welcomes various protected natural spaces within its borders. Picturesque villages dot the magnificent scenery in white and offer visitors an international and always lively soul, and a very rich schedule of possible activities to choose from.

If you happen to be in these latitudes for the space of a single day, organizing the perfect itinerary is a must so as not to risk missing the best that the island has to offer. Here are our tips on what to see in Fuerteventura in one day!

User questions and comments

One day itinerary in Fuerteventura: Morning

1 – Corralejo and the Corralejo Natural Park

Small introduction: since it is only one day and there is a long way to go, as well as things to see, so as not to waste time waiting for buses and connections we advise you to rent a car. The rental costs start from € 25,00 per day and in this way you will be faster and more independent.

To start the day in the best possible way, choose a breakfast that opens it in the sweetest way: a stop from New Bakery, in the picturesque village of Corralejo, will allow you to choose from a wide variety of high quality sweets and cakes (the cost will be proportionate to the excellence, but it’s worth it: around € 6,00 / € 7,00 for a cappuccino and a slice of cake, plus an espresso).

Corralejo Natural Park is a wonderful one nature reserve overlooking the sea on the east coast of Fuerteventura. It is characterized by vast golden sand dunes that line the ocean, giving way in the southern part of the park to volcanic landscapes with rock formations with shades halfway between red and ocher. The Corralejo Dunes leave you speechless and to complete the perfect picture of this naturalistic place, the reserve also includes small and wonderful pristine beaches, loved by surfers and by the patrons who come here for the numerous concerts and festivals that are organized throughout the year.

2 – Tindaya Mountain

Your second stop will be an area in the typical hinterland of the island, one of the natural wonders of Fuerteventura with a strong spiritual appeal: the Mountain of Tindaya. It is possible to reach it either by car or by taking the Tiadhe line 8 from Corralejo to La Oliva and continuing with the 7 to Tindaya (about € 3,00).

This training was considered sacred by Aboriginal peoples who inhabited Fuerteventura in antiquity and is can be explored via a hiking trail which branches off on its southern side. Climbing on the ridges of the mountain, about 400 meters high, it is possible to have a splendid overview of the surrounding landscape. Tindaya is also guardian of an archaeological treasure of inestimable value, 300 rock carvings made by the tribes who had settled in this area, symbol and proof of the sacredness of the mountain.

Distance traveled: 38,3 km / 43 min by car

1 – Puerto El Rosario

Before enjoying each of its paths, have lunch at El Bounty del Muelle, a small but very welcoming place where you can enjoy sublime quality local dishes at fair prices (with around € 20,00 you can enjoy a lunch based on excellent fresh fish).

Then dedicate yourself to wandering through the streets of the town, take a look at the Church of la Virgen del Rosario and admire the dozens of sculptures that peek out in every corner of Puerto El Rosario: it is an artistic project called Parque Escultorico, created by local and international artists. Also worth a visit is the House-Museum of the poet Miguel de Unamuno and a walk in the port area of the city.

2 – Betancuria

Resume the journey then towards another internal stage of Fuerteventura, that is the ancient capital of the island Betancuria (by car or by line 2, around € 2,50).

Il name comes from its founder, the French Jean de Béthencourt who founded it in 1400, in a place sheltered by the hills and with a privileged and strategic position. It was the main city of the island until 1834, but despite having lost the title of capital, it has not lost its charm.

Among its historic alleys it is possible to browse among craft shops, souvenir shops and inns offering traditional flavors and endless taste. If you feel like taking a long walk among the views surrounding Betancuria, head towards the Mirador Morro Veloso. From here it is possible to observe more closely the peculiar characteristics of the island’s hinterland and enjoy its unique natural scenery.

Before leaving: useful tips

What to bring: it is always advisable to bring a sweatshirt or a windbreaker with you, because despite the always pleasant temperatures, in higher or particularly windy areas of the island you risk feeling cold

beaches: some beaches are very exposed to the wind, which constantly lashes the island, and are more suitable for those who love water sports, while others, generally those on the east coast, are more sheltered and characterized by a calmer and safer sea

Getting around: an excellent choice is to rent a car (prices starting from € 25,00 per day), so that you can move freely, especially if you have little time; the island is also well served by the Tiadhe buses, with routes from the widespread distribution, you can buy the rechargeable BtF card (purchase cost € 2,00) which gives you a 5% discount on the cost of tickets, the prices of the rides they vary according to the length, but a complete ride from terminus to terminus can cost € 10,00

What not to see: the attractions to give up for lack of time

Although every corner of Fuerteventura deserves to be explored, one day only it is not enough to discover every meter.

The proposed itinerary allows you to travel the island from north to south, to get an overview of its natural sceneries and environments, its ocean-view marinas and the inland villages. Many attractions and places of interest are however remained excluded from the route. Some of these are listed below: a list from which you can take inspiration if you have more time or want to change the day tour following your own personal inspirations.

Tenerife

There is a legend that Canary Islands – Islas Canarias (Islas Canarias) are the remains of Atlantis, which has sunk to the bottom, described by the ancient Greeks. According to legend, Atlantis died due to a volcanic eruption. The Canary Islands are picturesque islands of volcanic origin, stretching in an arc for more than 500 km near the African coast of the Atlantic, striking travelers with their amazing diversity and originality.

The archipelago consists of seven large inhabited islands and several small ones. In the center is the largest island – Tenerife (Tenerife) (2057 sq. Km). To the east are La Gomera (378 sq. km), El Hierro (277 sq. km) and La Palma (728 sq. km). Gran Canaria is located to the west of Tenerife. This is the third largest island of the archipelago (1532 sq. km). Further west are Fuerteventura (1730 sq. km) and Lanzarote (Lanzarote) (795 sq. km). Of the six small islands, only the island of Graciosa (La Graciosa) (27 sq. Km) is inhabited. To the east are the islands of Alegranza (10 sq. km), Montaña Clara (1 sq. km), Lobos (6 sq. km), Roque del Oeste and Roque del Este ).

Total -13 islands.

Canary Islands – Spanish tropical paradise. Spaniards living on the mainland associate them with fun, just like the thousands of foreign tourists who choose the resorts of the islands throughout the year.

Historically, the Canary Islands belong to Spain, which is located in the northeast at a distance of 1500 km, and geographically they are included in the group of volcanic islands, together with the Azores, Cape Verde and Madeira.

Volcanic origin and special position in the Atlantic Ocean determine the favorable climate of the Canaries, which is considered one of the healthiest in the world. The average daily temperature in winter is 17 and 18°С, in summer – 28-30°С. Due to the prevailing winds (trade winds) and warm sea currents, the climate is very mild. Average temperatures:

Thanks to this climate, vacationers on the islands can enjoy year-round magnificent beaches along the 1500-kilometer coastline, with excellent opportunities for sports and water activities. The Canary Islands can be visited throughout the year. Here all year round there are all conditions for relaxing in seaside resorts and walking in the mountains. A huge number of people come here at the end of February for the Carnival de Tenerife, which lasts until mid-March.

The mild climate has attracted people to the Canary Islands since ancient times. The Greeks believed that the gardens of the Hesperides were located here; for centuries they have been referred to as the “Happy Islands”. At the end of the XIX century. the fame of the islands has increased due to the fact that they have become a place of rest and treatment of many diseases. Currently, the Canary Islands are one of the most important centers of European tourism.

The Canaries are almost Africa. The Moroccan coast is very close, and many tourists fly on day trips to colorful Marrakech.

A traveler who has visited the Canary Islands will certainly tell his friends about the ascent to the Teide peak and the stunning views from there to the expanses of the Atlantic, about the tunnels of Cueva de los Verdes scorched by underground fire, about the formidable craters of Montaña del Fuego and about the mysterious island with the beautiful name of Homer.

Time

Tenerife is 3 hours behind Moscow time.

Geography

The Canary Islands (Islas Canarias in Spanish) are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Madeira and the Azores to the north and the Cape Verde Islands to the south, they form what is commonly referred to as “Macronesia”. The Canary Islands are located about 400 km. from the island of Madeira and 100-150 km. off the northwest coast of Africa. The island of Fuerteventura, located in the southeastern part of the archipelago, lies 92 km. from Cap Juby – the southernmost point of Morocco. A little further south is Western Sahara, a former colony of Spain. The Canary Islands still belong to Spain, which is located in the northeast of them at a distance of 1500 km.

The total area of the Canary Islands is 7500 sq. km. The islands extend between 27°38′ and 29°35′ N and between 13°20′ and 18°14′ W, i.e. from east to west, the islands stretch for 500 km. (between the islands of Palma and Lanzarote), and from north to south for 200 km.

Language

The official and spoken language is Spanish. Anyone who knows Spanish as a foreign language only from lessons at school has difficulty understanding the Canarians with their local dialect. The Canarians speak Castilian, but much softer and faster than the Spaniards on the mainland. In addition, the Canarian vocabulary is very rich in “canarisms”, which came mainly from the Guanche language, which sometimes creates additional difficulties in communication (but, as a rule, in provincial small towns).

Transport

There is a wide network of bus routes on the island. The buses here are called “guaguas”.

Taxi. On the island of Tenerife, these are white cars with a green light on the roof and a taximeter built into the dashboard. When taking a taxi for long distances, make sure the driver’s meter is turned on. A taxi ride within cities such as Los Cristianos and Las Americas will cost 10-20 euros. Extra charges may apply at night. Few drivers know foreign languages, nevertheless they are well acquainted with the names of all hotels, hotel complexes, commercial centers and restaurants.

To rent a car, you must have an international driving license issued at least one year before the rental, and a passport. The driver must be at least 19 years of age. The rules of the road on the islands do not differ from European ones, however, special attention should be paid to the markings on the roads. Do not leave your car on the road where the shoulder is marked with a solid yellow stripe: you can be left without a car, which the police will take away, and you will have to pay a fine. If such a case nevertheless occurred, contact the company where you rented a car. A blue road strip means that parking is paid, and there is always a cash machine nearby. When driving, do not forget to give way to pedestrians at crossings, even where there are no traffic lights, and fasten your seat belts. The permissible blood alcohol content is not higher than 0.8 ppm. Car theft on the island is not in vogue, and yet, you should not leave things in the car.

Tip

In a restaurant, it is customary to give 5-10% in excess of the specified amount. The same tip sizes are accepted for taxi drivers. Maids in hotels and porters also count on remuneration.

What to ride in Spain

Spain is considered to be quite a large (by European standards, of course) country, so domestic air traffic is developed in it. There are airports in almost all major cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Granada, Valencia, Alicante, Seville, Cordoba, Bilbao, Zaragoza. The most low-cost flights are offered by Vueling, which is considered the main low-cost carrier in the Spanish market.

The state-owned company RENFE is responsible for all rail transport in the country, including passenger traffic. There are several types of trains in the country, the most comfortable and fastest are AVE, they run mainly between Madrid and Barcelona or Madrid and Seville. “Talgo” – fast trains, “Expresso” – passenger, “Tranvia” or “Automotor” – local trains. In addition, Spanish trains are considered worthy competitors of buses when traveling over medium distances.

An extensive network of bus routes covers almost all cities and resort centers of the country. The fare depends on the season, day of the week, time of day and distance of travel. As a rule, it does not exceed 30 EUR.

In the role of urban public transport in Spain are metro, buses, taxis, local and intercity trains. Transport runs on schedule.

Car rental

To rent a car, you need to show your passport and international driving license. Some companies require the driver to be at least 21 or 23 years old, and the license issued at least one or two years ago. The rental price ranges from 20-120 EUR per day. Often companies require a deposit (sometimes equal to the cost of the entire rental) or a credit card.

In Spain, it is mandatory to wear seat belts: failure to do so can result in a very high fine. The permitted speed in the city is 40 km/h, on a regular road – 100 km/h, on the motorway – 120 km/h.

All the roads in the country are in very good condition and free for the most part. It is necessary to pay only for the use of motorways (autopislas, indicated by the sign “A” on a blue background).

Be vigilant

During walks and excursions, it is better to have a photocopy of your passport with you, and keep your passport, money and air ticket in a hotel safe. Also, do not leave any valuables in the car – neither in the “glove compartment” nor in the trunk.

Spanish weather forecast

A meteorologist’s trained eye divides mainland Spain into three distinct climatic zones at once. The north of the country (from Galicia to Catalonia) is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean: there are mild, wet winters and moderately warm summers.

The southeast coast (Andalusia and Extremadura) is, of course, a Mediterranean climate with very mild, short winters and dry, hot summers. Precipitation is scarce, falling mainly in autumn and winter. Summer in coastal Spain is usually around +25..+32 °C, the swimming season lasts from June to October.

Finally, on the central plateau of the country, the climate is sharply continental, with a noticeable difference (sometimes up to 15 °C) between day and night temperatures. Summers are hot and dry, winters are dry and cold.

As for the Canarian archipelago, the climate there is warm, mild and very stable. The average annual temperature is +20 °C without extreme heat even at the height of summer, the water is warm all year round.

Where to stay in Spain

In Spain there are no uniform state rules for classifying hotels: each region decides this issue at the local level. Under the “excursion” they usually give 2-3 * hotels in the city center (not the best, since they only need to spend the night, the rest of the time is spent on the road), meals – breakfast (most often continental) plus dinner. In ski resorts, on the contrary, high-level hotels, mostly with half board (“buffet”).

Money in Spain

Currency can be changed at exchange offices, hotels and travel agencies, but the best rate is traditionally offered by banks that work without commission. Banks are open from 9:00 to 14:00, on Saturday – from 9:00 to 12:00, Sunday is a day off.

You can withdraw money from a credit card at any time of the day at ATMs located at almost all bank branches. Most hotels and restaurants, as well as many shopping centers accept credit cards and travelers checks from the world’s leading payment systems.

What to buy in Spain

Store hours are 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm (large department stores are often open non-stop). On Saturdays, shops are usually open until 13:00, Sunday is a day off. During the tourist season, retail outlets in coastal towns may close much later than usual. However, do not forget about the Spanish siesta, which lasts from 13:00 to 16:00. During this time, most banks, shops and government offices are closed.

From Spain you can bring jamon, wine and cheese for gourmets, authentic clay or wood products for aesthetes, sea-scented shells from the coast for everyone else.

How to eat well in Spain

“National cuisine of Spain” is a completely abstract concept. In reality, the country has a huge number of markedly different regional cuisines.

The most famous Spanish dish is paella (pilaf with seafood). It is also worth trying “hamon” – dry-cured pork. Spanish wines are well known all over the world. The Catalan white wines Penedès and Ampurdan are especially famous, and any sparkling wine in the country is called cava (there are almost hundreds of varieties). Well, Jerez from the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the southwest of Andalusia is rightfully considered the pride of the country.

What to see in Spain

Winter mainland Spain is a storehouse of sightseeing treasures. Guests who come to conquer the peaks of the Sierra Nevada have a direct route to day trips to Granada, Cordoba or Seville. Well, vacationers in the north of the country, in addition to the “standard” Barcelona, can go to Santiago de Compostela, one of the most significant cities of medieval Christianity and just a very beautiful place.

The center of Madrid is the Puerta del Sol with three statues and the old Post Office. The central square of Plaza Mayor, framed by colonnades, performed three important functions in the Middle Ages at once: a marketplace, a place for organizing bullfights and holding an auto-da-fé. In the center of the square stands the equestrian statue of Philip III. On the east side of the Plaza Mayor is the Plaza de la Provincia, where the Santa Cruz Palace is located, which now houses the Spanish Foreign Ministry. Nearby lies the picturesque Villa Square with the beautiful City Hall, where the Consistory met and the La Villa prison was located.

The heart of Barcelona is Plaza Catalunya, which is surrounded by many attractions, including the monument to Columbus and the medieval shipyards of Drassanes (now the Maritime Museum), the Barcelona Exhibition Center, the National Palace, the Marcet Palace and the famous Casa Mila or “House without Corners” by Gaudi.

The Gothic Quarter got its name from the abundance of monuments in the Gothic style (which is logical). Within this area are the Real Mayor Palace, the Ayuntament, the Santa Agata Chapel and the Historical Museum in Rey Square, right next to the walls of which archaeological excavations are underway. On San Just Square, the gothic fountain, the Moisho Palace and the Santos Just y Pastor Church attract the constant attention of tourists.

One of the symbols of the city is also considered the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral, 170 meters high, the construction of which was started by Antoni Gaudi already in 1883, but has not yet been completed. However, there are many other creations of Gaudí in the city: the Palace and Park Güell (declared “Property of Humanity”), the mansions of Cassa Mila, Cassa Batllo, Calvet, Figueres and Vicens, graceful lanterns on the Plaza Real.

What? Where? When?

At the end of July, St. Martha’s feast takes place in As-Neves. It is celebrated in a peculiar way: all comers are carried by their friends and relatives in coffins around the church of St. Martha. At the end of August, the streets of Spanish cities are colored with all shades of red by the annual festival “Tomatina”, or “War of the Tomatoes”.

Spain

About the country

Spain is one of the three most visited countries in the world, annually it receives more than fifty million tourists, and many, having visited it once, return here again and again. After all, a trip to Spain is a meeting with the sun, the sea, good food, hospitality and joy of life, it is an opportunity to discover the richest cultural and historical heritage, take part in traditional folk festivals and enjoy magnificent landscapes.

Major resorts

Stretching for more than seven thousand kilometers, the Spanish coast is a coastal ensemble washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea (in the east and south), the Bay of Biscay (in the north) and the Atlantic Ocean (in the west). In the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Africa are the Balearic Islands, and in the Atlantic Ocean are the Canary Islands.

Catalonia: Catalonia is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the east and the picturesque Pyrenees to the west. The capital and most beautiful city of Catalonia is Barcelona. The coast of Catalonia is made up of three resort areas (from north to south): Costa Brava, Costa de Barcelona and Costa Dorada.

The Costa de Barcelona consists of two regions: in the north is the Costa de Maresme, in the south – the Costa del Garraf. This is a great choice for those who want to enjoy resort life while being as close to Barcelona as possible. The coast of the Maresme, thanks to its silvery sand and pine forests, is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain, it will appeal to those who love history and culture. But the tourist center of the Costa del Garraf – the city of Sitges – is known, first of all, for its bohemian customs and many festivals that are popular with a democratic-minded public.

The Costa Brava is loved for its wild beauty of beaches, stunning views of rocky cliffs, soft sand and crystal clear Mediterranean Sea. The center of the resort life of the region is the town of Lloret de Mar, which is famous for its bars and nightclubs, which attract young people from all over the world. The Costa Dorada, unlike the picturesque but rocky Costa Brava, has golden sandy beaches – gently sloping and very comfortable for a relaxing family holiday. Here is located “Port Aventura” – the world-famous amusement park.

Valencia: The city of Valencia is the capital of the region of the same name and the third largest city in Spain. The region is famous for its gastronomic traditions and developed tourist infrastructure. He is the record holder for the number of “blue flags” that are awarded for the cleanliness and well-groomed beaches. It is not surprising that Costa Blanca is translated from Spanish as “white coast”. Perhaps the most fashionable resorts in Spain are also collected here – these are, first of all, Benidorm with its skyscrapers and discos, and Calpe, which is famous for its fish restaurants and comfortable apartment complexes.

The real pearl of the Valencian region is the Costa del Azahar, which has not yet been thoroughly explored by Russian travelers. And there are many advantages in this: there are no crowds of tourists, so there is enough freedom, the sea and orange trees for everyone. The town of Peniscola is interesting with its pristine beaches and a medieval fortress. It offers a relaxing holiday that will suit both families with children and couples in love.

Andalusia : Andalusia is the southernmost and most cheerful region of the country, the birthplace of flamenco and bullfighting. It attracts tourists with its holidays and cheerful population, so the Costa del Sol has not lost its status as one of the most prestigious coasts of Spain for decades. The sun shines here all year round, but the water remains refreshingly cool due to its proximity to the ocean. Andalusia offers rich excursion programs: the cities of Ronda, Granada, Cordoba, Seville enchant with their southern temperament and Moorish heritage.

Balearic Islands : The Balearic Islands are located in the western Mediterranean Sea, approximately equidistant from the Iberian Peninsula, southern France and northern Africa. There are four main Balearic islands – Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.

But Mallorca deserves the most attention. There are more than a thousand hotels on the island, but despite the large flow of tourists from all over the world, Mallorca remains one of the most environmentally friendly resorts in the Mediterranean. In addition to the classic beach holiday on the island, you can find active sports – from diving to rock climbing, historical and cultural attractions, and lively nightlife in some resorts.

Canary Islands: The Canary Islands is a Spanish tropical paradise, located just 300 kilometers from Africa and consisting of seven islands, the most popular of which is Tenerife, the island of eternal spring. In its south, there are the busiest resorts and the famous “black beaches” of volcanic origin. Soft and gentle, they are ideal for relaxing and safe swimming. But in the north, winds blow, so you can go surfing, windsurfing and other water sports there. Here is the most unusual beach of the island – the man-made Las Teresitas. It is covered with golden sand, atypical for local places.

Climate

The best time to visit Spain is from late spring to early autumn. Conventionally, the country can be divided into three climatic zones. The southeast coast is a typical Mediterranean region with hot summers (+23-29°С) and mild winters (+8-14°С). This region is characterized by clear weather and the largest number of sunny days in Europe. The north of Spain is influenced by the Atlantic – it is more windy, cool and humid here, and inland the climate is sharply continental – in winter in the mountains the temperature can drop to -7 ° C.

Time

Time in mainland Spain, as well as on the islands of the Balearic archipelago, is 1 hour behind Moscow, in the Canaries – 2 hours.

Money

The monetary unit is the euro (EUR). Banknotes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 euros are in circulation. Currency exchange is carried out in banks, they are open from 9.00 to 14.00 from Monday to Friday, on Saturdays – until 13. 00, but in the summer many banks do not work on Saturdays. In addition, exchange offices are located in most hotels. It is not very profitable to exchange currency at the airport, as the percentage of commission fees is too high. Visa and Mastercard cardholders can receive money through ATMs or use cards when paying in shops and restaurants.

Visa

Spain is a member of the Schengen community, which currently includes 24 countries: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Finland, France , Sweden, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary and Malta. Obtaining a visa to one of these countries gives the right to free movement within the entire community.

Location

Spain is the second largest country in Europe after France. Its mainland is located on the Iberian Peninsula, the relief of which is surprisingly diverse: there are mountain peaks and a long coastline. In the west, the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and borders on Portugal, in the north it adjoins France and Andorra, and in the south and east it is a strip of Mediterranean beaches. In addition, Spain includes three archipelagos: the Balearic, Pitius and Canary Islands.

Historical information

The word “Spain” has an ancient origin – this is how the Phoenicians called the Iberian Peninsula. But people lived in these parts long before the Phoenicians, in Spain there are caves with ancient rock paintings. For a long time, the Romans were the owners of this country, then the Visigoths captured the country, after them – the Arabs. Later, Christian and Mauritanian states flourished in the Iberian Peninsula at the same time. Only after the unification of Castile and Aragon in 1474, Spain became a single state.

The Kingdom of Spain is today divided into 17 provinces, each with its own unique character and tradition. But the most recognizable symbols of the country are, perhaps, bullfighting (a duel of a man and a bull filled with deep meaning), passionate flamenco and national cuisine.

Favorable climate, picturesque sea coasts, a large number of sunny days a year – all this attracts millions of tourists to Spain. Not surprisingly, tourism plays a significant role in the country’s economy. The inhabitants of Spain are cheerful and generous, adore their country and are friendly to guests.

Religion, language

The official language is Spanish (Castilian). In the provinces, local languages are spoken – Catalan, Valencian, Galician or Basque. Each of them is considered the second official language of the respective province.

The main religion is Roman Catholicism. No more than 25% of the inhabitants regularly attend church, although 95% of the citizens consider themselves Catholics. The population of the country is not distinguished by religious fanaticism.

Kitchen

Holidays in Spain are always accompanied by gastronomic discoveries. National cuisine is distinguished by an abundance of seafood, vegetables, fruits and a variety of dishes. Each province is proud of its culinary traditions and signature recipes. But there are products without which it is impossible to imagine a Spanish meal: olives and olive oil, tomatoes, fresh fish, seafood, red wine, garlic, onions, peppers, herbs. The dishes, for the most part, are very easy to prepare and do not cook for long, which is a sign of an easy and healthy cuisine. Typical Spanish treats are jamón ham, cold tomato soup gazpacho and paella, a rice and seafood dish. Moreover, in each village, paella is prepared in its own way.

Transport

There are more than ten international airports in Spain, they are in almost every province, including the islands. The largest air hubs are in Barcelona and Madrid. Domestic air and rail transport is very well developed. Part of the railway lines are high-speed (AVE): Madrid-Seville, Madrid-Barcelona, Madrid-Valencia, Madrid-Malaga, Madrid-Leida. Another high-speed train “Talgo-200” runs on the Madrid-Cadiz and Madrid-Huelva routes.

In the role of public urban transport in Spain are the metro, buses, taxis, local and intercity trains.

Medical care

Medical services in Spain are paid. In case of serious illness, use your insurance policy. If the ailment is mild, you can go to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for help: he will make a simple diagnosis, prescribe a medicine, and tell you how to take it. Pharmacy opening hours: from 9:30 to 14:00 and from 16:30 to 20:00.

Emergency numbers

112 – European Emergency Service
091 – police, ambulance, firemen
080 – firefighters (Madrid, Barcelona)
92 – police in case of traffic accidents (within the city)

Useful tips

When relaxing in Spain, do not forget that in the lunch area, all residents rest for a couple of hours – this is a siesta. All establishments and establishments are closed.

Plans and maps of cities can be obtained free of charge either at your hotel or at the Tourist Information Office, where you will not only be given a map, but they will also kindly put the upcoming route on the map.

In Spain, all restaurants are divided into five categories, they are designated by the number of forks. Almost all restaurants close once a week for a weekend. There is always a menu in front of the entrance, from which you can find out the cost of dishes. Many restaurants have Menu del Dia – something like complex breakfasts, lunches or dinners. Such a meal is always cheaper than ordering dishes separately.

Spanish wines are usually of very good quality. We advise you to try Rioja – the famous Spanish wine. Do not forget that the cost of the order at the counter will be about 15% less than at the table.

In Spain, the service charge is included in the bill. But the extra tip will inspire the staff to work even harder. Usually tips are 5-10% of the bill in a taxi or in restaurants. In a simple cafe, you can leave 1 euro.

All beaches in Spain are municipal. Beach equipment is available at an additional cost.

Try to keep an eye on your wallet and other valuables, especially in crowded places, and carry only small amounts of money with you.

You can get a VAT refund on goods purchased in Spain that cost more than 90 euros. To do this, you need to collect several checks from one store, take a form from the seller and, going through customs, put a seal on this document. The VAT amount will be sent to you by mail or transferred to your bank account.

Taxis can be called from any hotel or bar, and it is also easy to catch a car on the street by simply raising your hand. Public transport is excellent in Spain. You can always ask your guide or hotel reception, where there is usually a guide with bus and train timetables.

On the day of departure, the room is vacated until 10.00. If you have an evening flight, you can leave your luggage in the hotel’s storage room.

When importing pets, a veterinary certificate indicating that they have been vaccinated against rabies must be presented.

Transport of Spain

Spain is considered a fairly large (by European standards, of course) country, therefore, domestic air traffic is developed in it

. There are airports in almost all major cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Granada, Valencia, Alicante, Seville, Cordoba, Bilbao, Zaragoza. The most low-cost flights are offered by Vueling, which is considered the main low-cost carrier in the Spanish market.

The state company RENFE is responsible for all rail transport in the country, including passenger traffic. There are several types of trains in the country, the most comfortable and fastest are AVE, they run mainly between Madrid and Barcelona or Madrid and Seville. “Talgo” – fast trains, “Expresso” – passenger, “Tranvia” or “Automotor” – local trains. In addition, Spanish trains are considered worthy competitors of buses when traveling over medium distances.

An extensive network of bus routes covers almost all cities and resort centers of the country. The fare depends on the season, day of the week, time of day and distance of travel. As a rule, it does not exceed 30 EUR.

In the role of public urban transport in Spain are metro, buses, taxis, local and intercity trains. Transport runs on schedule. The fare for the metro and the bus is the same.

Trains are worthy competitors of buses when moving over medium distances. Not only are they more than two times cheaper, but in many cases they are noticeably faster.

Spain is a very convenient country for travelers. Each more or less large and noteworthy city necessarily has the so-called “tourist buses” . Having paid about 15 EUR, a tourist can use such buses as many times as he likes within 2-3 days. The network of stops of such a “tour bus” covers the main sights of the city, allowing you to explore almost the entire city without straining and without stopping your feet. In addition, not so long ago, a special tourist train appeared in Spain – Expreso de la Robla.

Rent a car in Spain

To rent a car, you need to present a passport and international rights. Some companies require the driver to be at least 21 or 23 years old, and the license issued at least one or two years ago. The rental price ranges from 30-80 EUR per day. Often companies require a deposit (sometimes equal to the cost of the entire rental) or a credit card.

In Spain, it is mandatory to wear seat belts: failure to comply with this rule is subject to a very high fine. The speed limit is 40 km/h in the city, 100 km/h on a normal road, and 120 km/h on a freeway.

Tourist safety

Tourists should be careful in stores and watch their handbags and wallets – they steal here often and very professionally.

In the event that cunning thieves nevertheless got into the handbag of a careless tourist, it is worth reading the material on what to do if you have lost your passport abroad.

Spain hotels Hotels in Spanish resorts are predominantly urban, do not have their own beaches and are located in small towns with many shops, bars, restaurants and discos nearby. The use of swimming pools, as well as sun loungers on the territory of the vast majority of hotels, is “free of charge”, that is, for nothing.

Not all hotels offer animation programs. Many children’s mini clubs are only open during the summer season, and the hotel’s indoor pools are closed from June to September. Outdoor pools are usually open from 8:00-9:00 to 19:00-20:00.

Under the “excursion” they usually give 2-3 * hotels in the city center (not the best, because they only need to spend the night, the rest of the time is spent on trips), meals – breakfast (most often continental) plus dinner. In ski resorts, on the contrary, high-level hotels, mostly with half board (“buffet”).

Banks and exchange offices

Currency can be changed at exchange offices, hotels and travel agencies, but the best rate is traditionally offered by banks that work without commission. Banks are open from 9:00 to 14:00, on Saturday – from 9:00 to 12:00, Sunday is a day off.

You can withdraw money from a credit card at any time of the day at ATMs located at almost all bank branches. Most hotels and restaurants, as well as many shopping centers accept credit cards and travelers checks from the world’s leading payment systems.

Shopping and shops in Spain On Saturdays, shops are usually open until 13:00, Sunday is a day off. During the tourist season, retail outlets in coastal towns may close much later than usual.

From Spain you can bring jamon, wine and cheese for gourmets, authentic clay or wood products for aesthetes, sea-scented shells from the coast for everyone else.

Cuisine and restaurants of Spain

“National cuisine of Spain” – unimaginably delicious food in large portions. The country has a huge number of markedly different regional cuisines.

The most famous Spanish dish is paella (pilaf with seafood), you should also try jamón, dry-cured pork. From alcohol in Spain, Catalan white wines Penedès and Ampurdan are popular, sherry from the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the southwest of Andalusia is considered the pride of the country, and in the Canary Islands, excellent semi-sweet wine Malvasia is made from Lanzarote grapes.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions in Spain

Winter mainland Spain is a storehouse of sightseeing wealth. Guests who come to conquer the peaks of the Sierra Nevada have a direct route to day trips to Granada, Cordoba or Seville. Well, vacationers in the north of the country, in addition to the “standard” Barcelona, can go to Santiago de Compostela, one of the most significant cities of medieval Christianity and just a very beautiful place.

In addition, Spain is famous for its excursion routes. For example, the monastery of St. Pilar (Zaragoza), the monastic ensemble of Torresyudad (Huesca), Montserrat (Barcelona) and Lourdes (France). Between 10 and 12 million tourists visit these world famous monasteries every year.

Events in Spain

At the end of July, Saint Martha is celebrated in As-Neves. It is celebrated in a peculiar way: all comers are carried by their friends and relatives in coffins around the church of St. Martha. At the end of August, the streets of Spanish cities are colored with all shades of red by the annual festival “Tomatina”, or “War of the Tomatoes”.

Canary Islands – Canarias – WORLD TRAVEL

Canary Islands – means “dog islands”, from lat. “canis” – “dog”. This archipelago includes seven large islands (Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Gomera, Lanzarote, Hierro and Palma) and six islands of volcanic origin. They are located approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Africa.

There are two capitals – Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The archipelago belongs to Spain and is one of the autonomous communities.

Tropical trade wind climate. The water temperature is constantly + 20 * C and above. Air temperature from +10*С in winter to +35*С in summer.

There is an opinion that the Canary Islands are the remains of Atlantis, which has sunk to the bottom, described by the ancient Greeks. According to legend, Atlantis died due to a volcanic eruption. The Canary Islands are picturesque islands of volcanic origin, stretching in an arc for more than 500 km near the African coast of the Atlantic, striking travelers with their amazing diversity and originality. Their volcanic origin and special position in the Atlantic Ocean determine their unique geological and botanical characteristics, as well as landscapes that differ from both European and African ones. These natural features also determine a favorable climate with mild temperatures that do not differ much at different times of the year and day.

Thanks to the mild climate, holidaymakers on the islands can enjoy year-round magnificent beaches with excellent opportunities for sports and water activities. The Canary Islands can be visited all year round. There are all conditions for relaxing in seaside resorts and walking in the mountains. But the peak season starts from the end of July and ends at the beginning of October, and then a huge number of people come here at the end of February for the Carnival de Tenerife, which lasts until mid-March.

The mild climate has attracted people to the Canary Islands since ancient times. The Canaries are almost Africa. The Moroccan coast is very close, and many tourists fly on day trips to colorful Marrakesh.

What makes your holiday in the Canary Islands memorable?
A traveler who has visited the Canary Islands will certainly tell his friends about climbing Mount Teide and the stunning views from there to the expanses of the Atlantic, about the tunnels of Cueva de los Verdes scorched by underground fire, about the formidable craters of Montaña del Fuego and about the mysterious island with the beautiful name of Gomer, the Canaries are the seven main inhabited islands. In the center is the largest – the island of Tenerife (2057 sq. km.). In the east there are three smaller islands: Gomera (378 sq. km.), Hierro (277 sq. km.) and Palma (728 sq. km.). To the west of Tenerife is the island of Gran Canaria (1532 sq. km.) – the third largest island in the archipelago. Then come the islands of Fuerteventura (1731 sq. km.) and Lanzarote (795 sq. km.).

The Canary Islands or simply the Canaries are conveniently located in the Atlantic Ocean. This is a real paradise in sunny Spain. There are few people who would not like to come here to relax. Rest here is truly magnificent. Favorable conditions for this are created by the absence of unbearable heat and exotic nature.

If you love the sea and the exotic, the Canary Islands will give you both. There are several resort towns on the islands. But you should know in advance that in Palaia Paraiso The coast is completely unsuitable for swimming. And if you find yourself in this hospitable city and want to sunbathe on the beach, you will have to go out of town or to neighboring resort villages.

The island of Tenerife is located on a volcano, although it is more precisely a huge volcano. This is one of the most popular Canary Islands. This mountainous island is located slightly above the northern tropic, off the west coast of Africa. It is the largest island of the Canary archipelago. The capital of the island is Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The island is unique in that after driving just a few kilometers around the island, you can get into a completely different climate zone. What could be more beautiful than the purest ocean with white foam and the shining sun, scorching 360 days a year. Tenerife is a little piece of paradise. Here feelings wake up, life becomes brighter and every breath of the purest sea air adds happiness. The average air temperature is 25-30.

Tenerife, with its mild climate, is known as the island of eternal spring. The climate suits absolutely everyone, both adults and children, and many attractions are scattered throughout the island.
Tenerife is a good place for excursions and travel – here you can climb the highest point of the Teide volcano, visit the towns of La Laguna and Aratava with local architecture. You can taste national dishes in one of the cafes and go to Lora Park, where many species of exotic animals and fish live.

If you wish, no one will forbid you to go to the open sea and watch the life of whales and dolphins. Or just go sunbathing on one of the many beaches and swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

Fuerteventura is second in size only to Tenerife. Soft light sand, the purest turquoise water and the best wide deserted beaches in the entire Canary archipelago will meet you on this island. This is a paradise for lovers of a quiet and relaxing holiday. Here you can sunbathe on the beach, listening only to the sound of the waves and the cries of seagulls

And at the top of Mount Teide, the snow sometimes melts only in May. Temperature fluctuations are expressed very weakly. On the coast, the mercury column rarely drops below 10 and rarely rises above 25 in winter, while in summer the temperature rarely drops below +20 C*, but often exceeds +40 C*.

I need Spain is the slogan of the National Tourism Office of Spain, and only an inveterate egoist will disagree with this statement. Let’s justify: we need the beautiful sandy beaches of the best resort in Spain, the Canary Islands – this time. In the most delicious ham in the world and heavenly ambrosia – sangria (how else to glorify Spain, if not with a glass in hand!) – very much, these are two. In the shot of castanets and heels, the whirlwind of frills with polka dots and the passionate cries of the flamenco cantaors that Spain gave to the world – these are undoubtedly three. In all these phantasmagories, such as current clocks and scaly drainpipes (oh, Spain is a big inventor) – how! is four. Let’s add here all sorts of pleasant little things, somehow: an inexpensive and at the same time quite serious “skiing”, on which Spain “makes” the hyped Alps without looking, a varied nightlife and the opportunity to buy things from the catwalk at an outlet price – Spain is not unreasonably proud of the largest and cheap shopping villages. An additional bonus that Spain has prudently prepared for tourists is that a “public” Schengen visa is needed here, which allows you to visit your European neighbors for a day or two without any hassle.

In this region, pigs of the black Iberian breed are bred, from the hams of which the famous specialty, jamón Iberico, is produced.

Climate

A meteorologist’s trained eye divides mainland Spain into three distinct climatic zones at once. The north of the country (from Galicia to Catalonia) is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean: there are mild, wet winters and moderately warm summers. The southeastern coast (Andalusia and Extremadura) is, of course, a Mediterranean climate with very mild, short winters and dry, hot summers. Precipitation is scarce, falling mainly in autumn and winter. In summer in coastal Spain, it is usually around +25 … +32 ° С, the swimming season lasts from June to October. Finally, on the central plateau of the country, the climate is sharply continental, with a noticeable difference (sometimes up to 15 ° C) between day and night temperatures. Summers are hot and dry, winters are dry and cold.

As for the Canarian archipelago, the climate there is warm, mild and very stable. The average annual temperature is +20 °C without extreme heat even at the height of summer, the water is warm all year round.

Visa and Customs

Spain has long been a member of the Schengen Agreement. This means that the sequence of actions for obtaining a visa there has been worked out to automatism. More information about the required documents can be found on the visa to Spain page.

Cash and bank checks in excess of EUR 10,000 cannot be brought into Spain without a declaration. There are restrictions on the import of alcohol and tobacco – you can bring strong drinks no more than 1 liter, cigarettes – 10 packs. Those who bring gifts to compatriots living in Spain should remember that no more than 250 g of sturgeon caviar and 5 kg of any fish are allowed to be exported from Russia.

Only 3 liters of any alcohol and 10 packs of cigarettes can be brought to Russia from Spain without making a declaration. Moreover, it does not matter where the goods are bought – abroad or in the duty-free zone. From Spain, you can bring jamon, cheeses and other delicacies of animal origin weighing no more than 5 kg in original and undamaged packaging. The general rule for hassle-free baggage entry is that all purchased goods must be for personal use, their weight cannot exceed 50 kg, and the value is 10,000 EUR.

Getting there

The fastest and most convenient way to get from Russia to Spain is by plane. The choice of the airport of arrival depends on the resort where the holiday is planned. A universal option is Madrid Barajas Airport, where you can transfer to domestic flights or continue traveling from it by other modes of transport. Aeroflot operates direct flights from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport to Barajas, and S7 and Iberia from Domodedovo. Flight time 5 hours, estimated cost from 150 EUR. Prices on the page are for January 2016

Aeroflot Airlines flies to Barcelona, which is often visited by tourists from Sheremetyevo, Rossiya and Fly from Vnukovo, and Ural Airlines from Domodedovo. In the high season, this list is increased by charter companies. Barcelona El Prat Airport is also suitable for travel to the resorts of the Costa Dorada, Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Valencia. Alicante Airport is suitable only for those who go to the Costa Blanca, and those who have chosen Andalusia or the Costa del Sol for their vacation need to get to Malaga.

Transport of Spain

Spain is considered to be quite a large (by European standards, of course) country, so domestic air traffic is developed in it. There are airports in almost all major cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Granada, Valencia, Alicante, Seville, Cordoba, Bilbao, Zaragoza. The most low-cost flights are offered by Vueling, which is considered the main low-cost airline in the Spanish market.

The state-owned company RENFE is responsible for all rail transport in the country, including passenger traffic. There are several types of trains in the country, the most comfortable and fastest are AVE, they run mainly between Madrid and Barcelona or Madrid and Seville. “Talgo” – fast trains, “Expresso” – passenger, “Tranvia” or “Automotor” – local trains. In addition, Spanish trains are considered worthy competitors of buses when traveling over medium distances.

An extensive network of bus routes covers almost all cities and resort centers of the country. The fare depends on the season, day of the week, time of day and distance of travel.

Public transport in cities

The role of public urban transport in Spain is the subway, buses, taxis, local and intercity trains. Transport runs on schedule. The fare for the metro and the bus is the same. Electric trains are worthy competitors of buses when moving over medium-distance distances. They are not only more than two times cheaper, but in many cases – noticeably faster.

The fare in public transport in the regions is different – from 1.5 EUR to 2.2 EUR. Conditions for buying and using tickets also vary. It is the same everywhere that for a long-term stay it is much more profitable to buy a ticket. If you have to travel by bus, it makes sense to purchase combined tickets. They also give you the right to travel by metro and tram. The fine for ticketless travel is about 50 EUR. You can buy a ticket from the controller only if there were no ticket offices and sales terminals at the stop where you sat down.

Spain is a very travel-friendly country. Every more or less large and noteworthy city necessarily has the so-called “tourist buses”. Having paid about 20-30 EUR, a tourist can use such buses as many times as he likes within 2-3 days. The network of stops of such a “tour bus” covers the main sights of the city, allowing you to explore almost the entire city without straining and without stopping your feet. In addition, not so long ago, a special tourist train appeared in Spain – Expreso de la Robla.

Timetables and routes for all local buses can be obtained from the hotel reception desk.

Rent a car in Spain

To rent a car in Spain, you need to show your passport and international driving license. Some companies require the driver to be at least 21 or 23 years old, and the license issued at least one or two years ago. The rental price ranges from 30-80 EUR per day. Often companies require a deposit (sometimes equal to the cost of the entire rental) or a credit card.

In Spain, it is mandatory to wear seat belts: failure to do so can result in a very high fine. The permitted speed in the city is 40 km/h, on a regular road – 100 km/h, on the motorway – 120 km/h.

When choosing a route along the highways of Spain, there is no point in being greedy: toll roads greatly reduce travel time and, as a result, are no more expensive than free ones – due to lower fuel consumption.

Don’t save money on car rentals by turning to small, unknown car rental centers: they cheat and “cheat” at 99% of cases.

All roads in the country are in very good condition and mostly free. It is necessary to pay only for the use of freeways (autopistas, indicated by the sign “A” on a blue background).

Communications and Wi-Fi

There are 4 mobile operators in Spain – Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Yoygo. Everyone has 3G mobile Internet: Orange and Yoygo provide their customers with the best speed, while Movistar and Vodafone provide coverage. 4G internet is available on most Vodafone and Yoigo plans. SIM cards can be bought in the branded salons of operators and at sales counters in supermarkets, railway stations and airports. To purchase, you must present your passport and fill out a simple questionnaire – you can specify the address of the hotel as a place of residence.

In general, the situation with the Internet is this – Wi-Fi is almost always available in hotels, occasionally in bars, and almost never in apartments. To connect to the McDonald’s network, like any other public network, access registration is required. There are also so-called Locutorio – these are places of public use of the Internet through a computer connection. One hour of internet connection costs 1 EUR.

Money

The country’s monetary unit is the Euro (EUR), in 1 euro there are 100 cents. Current exchange rate: 1 EUR = 77.95 RUB.

Currency can be changed at exchange offices, hotels and travel agencies, but the best rate is traditionally offered by banks that work without commission. The latter work from 9:00 to 14:00, on Saturday – from 9:00 to 12:00, Sunday is a day off.

You can withdraw money from a bank card at any time of the day at ATMs located in banks, shopping and entertainment centers. Although in many cases, non-cash payments are more profitable. In Spain, all types of payments are accepted – cash and cashless transfers from bank cards. When paying by bank transfer, you may need a passport – in this case, it is better to always carry a photocopy of this document with you.

How to avoid problems

During walks and excursions in Spanish cities and villages, it is better to have a photocopy of your passport with you, and keep your passport, money and air ticket in a hotel safe. Tourists should be careful in stores and watch their handbags and wallets – they steal here often and very professionally.

You should not change large sums of money immediately upon arrival at the airport – you will not need big money on the way, but may attract the attention of strangers. Prepare in advance money for travel in public transport. Do not tell anyone without special need the room number and the name of the hotel where you are staying. In case of theft or loss of property, contact the police immediately. Carry photo and video equipment only on a shoulder strap. In restaurants and bars, do not leave your bag unattended – on the floor or on the back of a chair.

Beaches of Spain

Beaches are the wealth of Spain. This country boasts countless beaches of all kinds – sandy, pebbly, rocky, and even volcanic black sand. There are resort beach areas both on the mainland and in the island parts of Spain. In the country, all beaches are municipal and free – access to them is not limited.

From the east, Spain is washed by the Mediterranean Sea, many kilometers of coastline includes the Catalan resorts of Costa Brava, Costa del Maresme, Costa del Garraf and Costa Dorada, as well as the Valencian resort region of Costa Blanca. The southern Spanish coast overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar. Here is Andalusia with its resorts Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz. On the stretch of coast between France and Portugal, which is washed by the waters of the Bay of Biscay of the Atlantic Ocean, there are 3 beach areas – Galicia, Costa Verde and Cantabria. In the Mediterranean Sea are the beach resorts of the Balearic Islands – Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. The Canary Islands attract beach lovers all year round. In total, more than 480 beaches throughout Spain have been marked with the Blue Flag of the European Ecological Association.

Alpine skiing

Spain is not only sea and sun, but also mountains and snow. The country has places with a variety of conditions for ski holidays. The most famous ski resorts are located on the border with France in the Pyrenees. They are divided into the Catalan and Aragonese Pyrenees. Catalan resorts are famous for their impressive landscapes with mountain rivers and lakes. The most famous of them are La Molina, Port del Comte and Baqueira Beret. The latter is famous for the fact that it is here that members of the royal family and the Spanish president ride. The Aragonese part is the highest mountain region of the Pyrenees, the land of national parks with an abundance of thermal springs. These are Astun, Kandancha and Boi-Taul.

The highest ski resort in Spain is the Sierra Nevada. It is located in the south of the country just an hour from the Mediterranean Sea. The Alpine Skiing World Championship was held here and the skiing conditions correspond to the highest international level. There are also winter resorts in the vicinity of Madrid and Barcelona. They do not have a long season and large elevation changes, but they boast additional recreational opportunities – there is a wide range of entertainment and accommodation options, gastronomic and wine tours are offered. Near Barcelona are Espot-Esqui and the same Baqueira-Beret, and with Madrid – the Central mountain system: La Pinilla, Navacerrada, Valdeschi.

The Iberian mountain system is located in the province of Zaragoza. There is not a deep snow cover in this area, but interesting high-mountain routes are laid among picturesque coniferous forests. Here is the largest ski resort in Spain – Formigal. The mountain system of the Cantabrian Cordillera covers Asturias, Cantabria and the northern part of Leon. There is a lot of snow here, but the skiing period is short. The best resorts in the region are Alto Campo, Valgrande Pajares, San Isidro and Manzaneda.

Shopping and shops

Provisions (cheeses, wine, jamon ham) and souvenirs with the country’s symbols (fans, skirts, flamenco shoes) are usually brought from Spain. Other popular crafts are wooden caps (hair bands, if anyone doesn’t know) and other wood carvings, as well as clay products – from whistles to sets. Spanish craftswomen weave amazing (and expensive) lace, as well as skillful embroidery on silk. It is also worth taking a bottle of sherry, sangria or malvasia with you from the country. Read more on the shopping in Spain page.

Now about shopping more seriously. Let it be known that Spain is one of the world’s shopping centers: there are many famous brand stores in the country, fashion weeks are regularly held, and in large cities there are a lot of outlets, sometimes even separated into separate “shop villages”.

Siesta in Spain lasts from 13:00 to 16:00: at this time, most banks, shops and government offices are closed for lunch. There is no siesta in the Sierra Nevada.

Shop opening hours – from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00 (large department stores often work non-stop). On Saturdays, shops are usually open until 13:00, Sunday is a day off. Discount period (Rebajas) in Spain happens twice a year – from January to March and from July to September.

Particularly interesting shopping in the capital and in Barcelona. In Madrid there is a whole fashionable quarter – Argüelles. It is located near the Parque del Oeste and the Temple of Debod. In this quarter, modern shops organically fit into the ancient architecture 19century. In the heart of the capital, in the Preciados and Sol area, you can buy everything from souvenirs to wedding dresses, and at the same time visit the Avenue of Arts.

A whole bus route has been launched in Barcelona for shopaholics – the blue Barcelona Shopping Line buses run around the city and stop at shopping centers. Having bought a ticket for 10 EUR, you can go shopping all day. To help shoppers in the city, they produce a Barcelona Shopping Guide, which can be bought at bookstores or printed kiosks. In it, in thematic order, all the outlets that deserve attention are collected.

Spanish cuisine and restaurants

Spain has a real cult of food – many restaurants and taverns offer to join the cuisine and wines of Spain. Some cafes, in addition to national dishes, have Italian, Mexican and Asian menus. In addition, the country has a huge number of markedly different regional cuisines.

Spain has the oldest catering establishment in the world – it is considered the Madrid restaurant “Sobrino de Botín”, which has been feeding its visitors since 1725. There is a legend that Francisco Goya himself worked as a dishwasher in it.

The country has an international network of eateries – McDonald’s, KFS, WOK TO WOLK. For a moderate price, you can have a snack with national sandwiches in fast food establishments 100 montaditos. A good way to save on food is to take advantage of a business lunch. In Spanish, it is called “Menu del dia” and is offered from 12:00 to 16:00 in almost every restaurant. For the same price of 9-12 EUR, you can also dine in Chinese restaurants, which serve not only Asian dishes, but also ordinary European food – fresh and of good quality. Many cafes operate on the principle of a buffet without limiting the number of approaches.

A large number of visitors is the main sign of the popularity of the bar. If there are already a lot of people in it by lunchtime, then very tasty tapas are served here.

Special attention deserves the national gastronomic culture of tapeo and its strongholds – tapas bars. For the Spaniards, this is not only a way to eat and drink, but a lifestyle and the process of communicating with friends. Before the main course, restaurants also serve tapas – a variety of snacks that are often drawn to a hearty meal on their own. Traditional soups are not very common, but gazpacho can be found almost everywhere.

The most famous Spanish dish is paella (pilaf with seafood), you should also try jamón, dry-cured pork. Fish and seafood dishes are very common. From alcohol, Catalan white wines Penedès and Ampurdan are popular, sherry from the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the southwest of Andalusia is considered the pride of the country, and in the Canary Islands, excellent semi-sweet wine Malvasia is made from Lanzarote grapes.

Another “alcoholic symbol” of Spain, sangria, is made from ordinary semi-sweet red wine or red carbonated “cava”, adding ice and chopped fruit to the wine.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions in Spain

In Spain, as in a good fairy tale: if you go to the right, you will get to the gorgeous coast, if you go to the left, you will find countless sightseeing riches. And in any case, wherever you turn, delicious food, friendly locals and beautiful nature await you everywhere. And if you consider that a trip to Spain sometimes costs only a little more than to the same Turkey, to a hotel of a similar level, you can really believe that you have fallen into a fairy tale. Among other things, holidays in Spain can easily be combined with language courses: the language of Cervantes perfectly “lays down” when the beach is a stone’s throw away, and in the evening a glass of cava awaits.

Mainland Spain is a treasure trove of excursions. Guests who come to conquer the peaks of the Sierra Nevada have a direct route to day trips to Granada, Cordoba or Seville. Well, vacationers in the north of the country, in addition to the “standard” Barcelona, can go to Santiago de Compostela, one of the most significant cities of medieval Christianity and just a very beautiful place. In addition, Spain is famous for its religious shrines. For example, the monastery of St. Pilar (Zaragoza), the monastic ensemble of Torresyudad (Huesca), Montserrat and Lourdes (France). Every year, these world-famous monasteries are visited by 10 to 12 million tourists. Let’s also mention the excellent museums of Spain, where even the most fastidious tourist can find an exposition to his taste.

Holidays and events

In Spanish, fiesta means holiday and the Spaniards are often called “homo fiesta”. It is difficult to find another nation that would treat the holidays with such enthusiasm and responsibility. To officially established 9national dates in each region add another 5 days off. In addition, Spain has many thematic festivals that attract both domestic and foreign tourists. Here are just a few of them. In Madrid, the LUMINARIUS Fire Festival is celebrated, in Malaga – the Gazpacho Festival, the Night of Wine and the Festival of Three Cultures, in Granada – the Jazz on the Coast festival, in Barcelona – the DEGGUSTO gastronomic festival and the Gaudí Nights festival, in Catalonia – the Renaissance Festival. A street battle with eggs and flour is held in Alicante, and the Kite Festival starts in the Canary Islands.

At the end of July, St. Martha’s feast takes place in As-Neves. It is celebrated in a peculiar way: all comers are carried by their friends and relatives in coffins around the church of St. Martha.

At the end of August, the streets of Spanish cities are colored with all shades of red by the annual festival “Tomatina”, or “Tomato War”.

Some holidays in Spain are ready to be celebrated for weeks. So, for example, in Navarre, they celebrate the day of their patron saint – St. Fermin. In Pamplona, the San Fermin festival has been held in his honor for 8 centuries in a row. This event, which attracts guests from different countries, was described by Hemingway in the novel The Sun Also Rises. Festival participants put on white clothes and tie a red scarf or belt, so from the influx of people all the streets turn white and red. The climax of the holiday is considered encierro – the run of the bulls.

In summer, almost every Spanish city hosts the Foam Festival, beloved by all children and adults — this is how the Spaniards celebrate the Day of the city or region.

Hotels in Spain

In Spain there are no uniform state rules for classifying hotels in the country: each region decides this issue at the local level. Hotels in Spanish resorts are predominantly urban, do not have their own beaches and are located in small towns with many shops, bars, restaurants and discos nearby. The use of swimming pools, as well as sun loungers on the territory of the vast majority of hotels – “free of charge”, that is, for free. Another popular option is to rent a villa: for large companies, the cost can be even lower than in hotel rooms, and the level of comfort is an order of magnitude higher.

Not all hotels offer animation programs. Many children’s mini clubs are only open during the summer season, and the hotel’s indoor pools are closed from June to September. Outdoor pools are usually open from 8:00-9:00 to 19:00-20:00.

Under the “excursion” they usually give 2-3 * hotels in the city center (not the best, because they only need to spend the night, the rest of the time is spent on the road), meals – breakfast (most often continental) plus dinner. In ski resorts, on the contrary, high-level hotels, mostly with half board (buffet). There are also all-inclusive hotels in the beach resorts. The cost of daily rental housing in Barcelona is from 30 EUR for an apartment for two, from 80 EUR for a double room in a three-star hotel and from 110 EUR in a four-star hotel.

Plunge into the crystal-clear waters of El Palmar and enjoy a 2-hour snorkeling experience along its coastline. Parrotfish, turtles…Discover the colorful water life under the waves!

Snorkeling Experience at Pared de El Palmar

Begin your tour on Calle Colón in Puerto Colón, Costa Adeje. Here, the diving instructors will give a short technical snorkeling class with tips for beginners. There will be two or three instructors per group and each group will have a maximum of nine guests.

After listening to the useful advice, you will head to the Pared de El Palmar, a large rocky wall underneath the water full of sea anemone, fish and marine algae that live between the cracks of the wall. Here, you will put on your professional equipment (wet suit, diving mask, breathing tube and fins), you will be ready to immerse yourself in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean. Once in the water, you will admire all types of marine life like sea turtles, parrotfish, trumpetfish and other local species.

After an hour’s snorkeling experience, you will head to the beach to drop off your equipment and then return to Puerto Colón.

Important information

If the weather conditions are not ideal at the Pared de El Palmar, we will snorkel at El Puertito. Both locations are incredible snorkeling spots.

Your diving instructor will accompany you to the immersion spot. Once you get there, you will enjoy this unique snorkeling experience without an instructor.

El Palmar – Tenerife – Canary Islands Info

If you’re looking for a quiet, picturesque town to relax in during your visit to Tenerife, El Palmar is perfect. This town is located on the island’s northwest and is known for its lovely rural landscape, stunning mountain views, and hiking trails. Wandering the streets of El Palmar, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time or discovered the well-kept, breathtaking secret of this famous isle. So if you’re looking for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city life, be sure to add El Palmar to your itinerary!

Why Visit El Palmar

Most holiday makers stay in touristy towns like Las Américas or Los Cristianos. However, several smaller villages on the island are worth a visit, especially if you want to experience the genuine Tenerife.

El Palmar is nestled in a rich valley that gives the hamlet its name. It is in one of the island’s greenest places, between the Teno Mountains and the nature preserve of Monte del Agua.Apart from the spectacular scenery surrounding it, the town is beautifully stuck in time. Classic Canarian architecture and a small economy relying on agriculture and traditional handicrafts still characterize this village of only 800 residents.

Keep reading if you’d want to take a trip to this charming colonial-style village surrounded by breathtaking natural topography!

Traditional Village

Exploring as far away from the beaten path as possible is the best way to truly experience Tenerife’s culture at its most authentic. This is because untouristy smaller towns and villages found all across the island are home to some of its most well-kept secrets.

At an elevation that ranges from 300 to 500 meters (985 to 1,640 feet), the charming hamlet of El Palmar is burrowed in a valley in the center of Teno Natural Park. It is encompassed on all sides by mountains and boasts a breathtakingly beautiful natural setting. The Teno Massif, one of the three volcanic structures that contributed to the formation of Tenerife many thousands of years ago, is also located within the park.

Castilian conquistadors who were interested in the fertile soil in the area were the ones who established the historic settlement. This countryside is filled with quaint little traditional dwellings, and the restaurants in the area provide a diverse selection of authentic Canarian fare. While strolling through town,  you may catch a whiff of freshly milled gofio, a roasted grain flour created in the Canaries for centuries. In addition, it is home to a number of significant architectural features, including old ranchos and the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación.

Stone terraces and fields hem in El Palmar. It is at its most beautiful and vibrant during the springtime when flowers begin to bloom and you can hear the bees buzzing about. In some parts of the town and surrounding mountains, you can admire the unique beauty of Montaña de El Palmar, also known as Montaña Zahorra. It has crumbled sections, giving the appearance of a pie with slices missing. This fascinating terrain is a vestige of its past use as a source for the supply of building materials for local housing.

Hiking Trails

Take a walk in the footsteps of the Guanches, Tenerife’s first inhabitants, to get a sense of how life used to be on the Canary Islands. They created a network of routes or the caminos reales, which translates to royal roads or highways, around 500 years ago as they moved their livestock between summer and winter grazing areas. These paths provide stunning vistas and a tangible link to the island’s past.

One of Tenerife’s best-kept secrets is the El Palmar Valley. While strolling through the vale, every step comes with a view of birds flying overhead and the sound of goat bells ringing in the distance. No walk around the village is complete without a visit to the local shops for the most pungent cheeses you’ll find in this part of the globe.

Although the hamlet alone is worth the visit, exploring the many trails that criss-cross the area is a must. One of the most popular is the easy two-hour journey on foot to Teno Alto. Beginning at El Palmar, one travels up the steep slope of the valley on a winding, narrow road that passes through groves of prickly pear and pine trees as well as fields of potatoes and vines on either side. With each step you take, the vistas get better and better, culminating in an incredible panorama of the entire valley, with Mount Teide just visible over the Monte del Agua on a clear day.

As you make your way through the chilly forest and over the slope of emerald hills, you’ll eventually reach the hamlet of Teno Alto. There are two dining options in the quaint village, one of which offers a wide variety of local products, including award-winning cheeses.Taking the same route back to your starting point has two significant advantages. To begin with, it’s nearly all downhill, and secondly, you’ve got that cheese to keep your stamina going.

Apart from the captivating linear hiking trail above the valley, there are a number of other hiking paths that originate in El Palmar, as well as many that cross or end there. If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, here are the ones you should put on top of your list:

El Palmar – Teno Alto – El Palmar

El Palmar – Las Lagunetas – El Monte del Agua (where you will find an ancient Laurel forest.

El Palmar – Monte del Agua – Las Lagunetas – Montañeta de El Palmar

Buenavista – Teno Alto – El Palmar

El Palmar – Teno alto – Mirador de Baracán – El Palmar

El Palmar – Casas de Talavera – El Palmar

El Palmar – Faro de Teno – Buenavista

El Palmar- Las Lagunetas- Las Portelas, Buensvista

El Palmar – Teno alto – Cumbres de bolico – Las Portelas – El Palmar

Los Silos-Talavera-El Palmar-Teno Alto- Punta de Teno

Santiago del Teide – Teno – El Palmar – Buenavista del Norte

Teno – El Palmar – Los Bailaderos – El Baracan

PuertoErjos – El Palmar – Buenavista

Nature lovers and hikers sometimes refer to the El Palmar Valley as the “capital” or “gateway” of Teno Rural Park. Monte del Agua, a beautiful woodland of laurel and Myrica faya trees, is an excellent place to go for a walk. Laurel pigeons and collared doves, two native Canarian pigeon species, are also prevalent in the area.

Festivals

The Virgen de la Consolación event takes place at El Palmar during the last two weeks of September. The village’s church bells chime every 12 hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the seven days preceding the Virgin’s saint’s day. This 16th-century tradition signals the arrival of the festival. As part of this fiesta, the “Baile de las libreas,” a traditional dance that dates back to the 18th century, is performed. It’s one of the most well-known Canarian folk dances, portraying the conflict between good and evil.

Besides celebrating religion, El Palmar honors Tenerife’s long history of agricultural production through the annual Día de la Trilla (Threshing Day). It aims to preserve the industry’s traditions and practices, which have shaped the region in the past and to what it is now.

It begins with a group of male elders using pitchforks to fill an entire area with wheat. The horse races begin once the wheat reaches waist-high, but the fun really happens after the sporting event when local children start hurling about wheat. The oxen, which are attached to a wooden board, pull the kids across the sea of wheat with ease. Additionally, numerous stalls are set up where people may purchase items like handicrafts, baked goods, jams and cheeses, and beer for enjoyment and to commemorate their attendance at this fantastic festival.

Dining Options

Many of Tenerife’s must-try traditional eateries, known as ‘Guachinches,’ can be found in modest villages like El Palmar.

So, if you’re looking for some great dining options while in town, you won’t be disappointed! There are plenty of restaurants serving up delicious food that will hit the spot. From Italian to EnglishandGerman and Spanish cuisine, you’ll find something to your taste. And don’t forget to enjoy a good cup of coffee or a cold drink in one of the local cafes or bars. Whatever type of food you’re craving, El Palmar has got you covered!

Bar Tasca Baracan

If you’re looking for a truly wonderful dining experience in El Palmar, look no further than the Bar Tasca Baracan. This small family-run restaurant serves up some of the best house wines and traditional Spanish dishes in town, like escaldon de gofio and tapas. But what sets this place apart is their very tender and tasty Iberico secreto. The pimientos de Padron — tiny peppers are fried to perfection and served with a flavorful sauce —and homemade desserts are also must-try. They are absolutely delicious! Whether you’re a fan of Spanish food or just looking for something new, the Bar Tasca Baracan is definitely worth a visit.

Restaurante El Rincón la Abu

Restaurante El Rincón la Abu is a cozy little spot in El Palmar that is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. The restaurant specializes in rice pot of rabbit and rabbit cannelloni. The burger is also delicious and comes with a generous side of fries. For something lighter, try the Abu salad, potato and cod croquette with saffron sauce, or the grilled octopus. And, of course, no meal at El Rincón la Abu is complete without the gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) or the Tarta helada (ice cream cake). So next time you’re in El Palmar, be sure to check out this hidden gem of a restaurant!

Restaurante Meson Del Norte

The Restaurante Meson Del Norte in Masca, a short drive from El Palmar, is not your usual tourist trap. This local favorite serves delicious Spanish fare, which shows in their dishes’ quality. To begin your meal, try the grilled local cheese with palm honey. The spicy garlic prawns are fresh and perfectly seasoned, the steak (served with home-prepared chips and peppers) is juicy and flavorful, and the spare ribs are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The garlic bread and potatoes with mojo and the rich chocolate mousse are also unforgettable. But what sets this restaurant apart is the amazing Canarian goat stew. Made with fresh meat, tomatoes, and peppers, it’s an authentic taste of the island. So if you’re looking for an authentic dining experience, be sure to check out the Restaurante Meson Del Norte.

How to Reach El Palmar

By Bus

Reaching El Palmar by bus from popular tourist towns in Tenerife is inexpensive but often requires more than one bus ride. The two main bus lines that service El Palmar are Bus lines 365 and 366, both depart from Buenavista del Norte station, which is less than 10 minutes away. The bus lines make several stops along the way, so it’s easy to hop on and off as needed.

By Car or Taxi

Tenerife is a popular tourist destination for visitors from all over the world, and you’ll find a wide selection of rental companies offering a variety of vehicles to suit every need in major tourist towns. Most rental car companies will require you to be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver’s license. You’ll also need to have a credit card to make a reservation. When you pick up your rental car, you’ll be asked to leave a deposit, which will be used to cover any damages that may occur during your trip.

There are two things to keep in mind when driving to El Palmar. First, the hamlet is along TF-436, which is among Tenerife’s most spectacular drives and touristic routes. Because of the stunning vistas it affords, travel time may double due to traffic in some pull-over spots. Second, many parts are windy and narrow, so take your time and drive slowly.

From the north side of Tenerife, TF-436 can be reached through TF-5, followed by TF-42. Holidaymakers coming from the south of the island must, on the other hand, must take TF-1 and then TF-375.

If you prefer to take taxis, it is relatively easy to get one as there’s usually plenty available. The best place to look for a cab is at a taxi stand near tourist attractions, hotels, and other popular areas. If there is no taxi stand nearby, you can try flagging down a passing taxi. Keep in mind that cabs can be expensive, so it is always best to negotiate a fixed price beforehand for a day trip to El Palmar. With a little effort, you should be able to find a taxi relatively quickly in most tourist towns in Tenerife.

El Palmar: The Valley Oasis

El Palmar is a beautiful and peaceful oasis in Tenerife. Hike or walk one of the many trails that wind through traditional houses, fields, and mountains. Stop for a meal at one of the local restaurants, try their stinky cheeses, or keep going to one of the festivals often held in the valley. Whether you’re looking for a challenging hike or a leisurely stroll, the valley hamlet of El Palmar is the perfect place to explore.

Nice, helpful host Carlos. Well equipped apartments. There is everything you need and even more. Comfortable beds, lots of towels, and for the beach, including blankets and linens in abundance. Washing machine, possibility to dry clothes. All household chemicals are available, toilet paper with a margin, all bath accessories. Coffee machine, microwave, oven, large refrigerator. Dishes not only for food, but also for cooking. Salt, sugar, butter, various spices, coffee. These are all trifles, but so necessary and pleasant. Iron and hair dryer, a huge balcony with a table and a huge parasol, two sun loungers.
We were 5 people. One person slept on the sofa in the big room and the sofa was not bad for sleeping.
There was always enough hot water for everyone, although usually all 5 people washed in the evenings.
In the refrigerator, a welcome proseko was waiting for us. It’s nice too.
Swimming pool. Very clean, always open, big, you can even swim. Officially you can use until 22.00, but if it’s quiet, you can swim later. Sunbeds and showers near the pool, the water in the pool is salty. We had a couple of sooo hot days where the pool was a lifesaver.
You can park your car in the surrounding streets. There has always been a place.
Cozy place in a small beautiful town. It is very convenient with a car, I have no information about other transport.
Would recommend, perfect for 4 people.

I liked the place, it’s a small town in which there are absolutely no hotels, which means a minimum of tourists, a non-party quiet place, you can always find parking (a rarity in general for Tenerife). parking everywhere is free. There is everything for life: shops, bars, restaurants, the whole range of domestic and tourist services. I had to seek help at a local medical center. We received a qualified service, where the medical staff was very attentive and professional. Many thanks to them for their help. We will definitely come here again and we will not even consider another place in Tenerife.

org/ListItem”> Teno and Masca gorge

Tenerife western mountain range with steep cliffs

Masca – village and gorge.

The Teno massif or Maciso de Teno (Spanish: Macizo de Teno) is one of the three large rocky massifs that created the island of Tenerife. The array is located in the northwestern part of the island, approximately 40 kilometers from the southern resorts of Costa Adeje and Playa de Las Americas. The massif is located between the municipalities of Santiago del Teide, Los Silos, El Tanque and Buenavista del Norte.

The structure of the Teno mountains is entirely volcanic in origin, formed approximately 5-7 million years ago. In most zones there are many gorges and ravines, one of which is the Mask Gorge, popular for its beauty and attendance. The coastal part in the southwest has practically no access to water due to steep cliffs – “Los Gigantes”, vertically rising 500 meters above sea level.

For a long time, small rural settlements, rich in history and agricultural traditions, have been located in the mountain range, some of them: the village of Masca, Teno Alto, Los Carrisales, El Palmar, Las Portelas and Las Lagunetas.

Teno Natural Park

The mountain range includes the Teno Rural Park (El Parque Rural de Teno), no less significant in its uniqueness, with a total area of 8063 hectares, which houses interesting basalt natural monuments, with marvelous structures created and altered by centuries of erosion.

This area was of great interest and is of particular value. June 19, 1987 Law No. 12/19 is adopted87 with the declaration of the Conservation Area of the Canary Islands as the Teno Natural Park. On December 19, 1994, it is re-certified.

Flora

Teno is home to an important representation of the Canary flora and its endemics, which varies with altitude and polar directions. In well-known areas such as Monte del Agua and Laderas del Baracán, there are evergreen forests called “monteverde”, which belong exclusively to Macaronesia. Balsamic spurge and cacti abound in coastal areas.

Teno fauna

The European Union has declared the Teno Massif a special area for the protection and conservation of birds, as it is inhabited by important colonies of pigeons – the Canary pigeon (Columba bollii) and the bay pigeon (Columba junoniae). Predators also nest here, of which you can meet sparrowhawks, kestrels, shahins and others.

Cape Teno

Cape Teno (Spanish: La Punta de Teno) is the westernmost part of the island of Tenerife. It consists of lava rocks with a relatively recent eruption, since the lava mass has characteristic black colors and has not been heavily eroded.

The cape is considered one of the best places for scuba diving and diving. Nearby there is a wild beach with the same name and fishing utensils of local residents, including small fishing boats and slipways for them.

The first thing you will notice when approaching the place is the Teno lighthouse, installed right on the cape. Unfortunately, access to it is closed. To the left of the lighthouse is a volcanic hill, which you can climb up and take photos of the lighthouse, here it can be seen much better. Be extremely careful, as the volcanic rock under your feet is loose and there is a cliff nearby.

In addition, you can find a path of wooden beams nearby, which leads to the observation deck and which offers a beautiful view of the cliffs of Los Gigantes. Going further, you will find yourself at a small cliff with a ladder, that is, a descent into the ocean. This place is adapted for mooring boats, but is almost always occupied on a sunny day by Canarians sunbathing and diving off a cliff into the water.

Teno Lighthouse

Cape Teno Lighthouse (Spanish: El faro de Punta de Teno) is one of the seven important lighthouses in Tenerife, designed to compare the picture observed by the navigator. Built on the steep banks of the cape, thereby protecting it from strong waves. It is located 7 kilometers from the municipality of Buenavista del Norte (Spanish: Buenavista del Norte). To date, its operation is completely autonomous.

Description of the lighthouse Teno

The design of the first lighthouse (see photo – stone lighthouse) was carried out by engineer José Sanz Soler (Spanish José Sanz Soler). After the adoption of his project in 1889, construction begins only on March 15, 1893. Due to the presence of some problems, another four years pass, and only on October 7, 1897, he begins his work.

The building was built in the late 19th century of patterned hewn stone, with small small rooms for living, but enough for two caretakers and their families to live. They owned a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, bedrooms, and an adjoining outdoor patio. In addition, there was an office, an inspection room and a warehouse. During construction, the tower was built with a height of 7.62 meters from stone, which was removed from a quarry on the neighboring island of La Gomera. To give an architectural composition, it was decided to lay out the building from the same stone.

The lighthouse was originally manned by two shift keepers, four months on duty and two months off. The last watchmen were José Sánchez Acosta and Antonio Hurtado, they did their duty for a long time and witnessed how in 1978 a new concrete tower was built, rising 20 meters in height or 59.6 meters above sea level. The tower was equipped with new light reflectors, operating in a fully automatic mode. This year has become the saddest year for the Marines, having lost their usual place of work.

Masca

Masca Village
In the western part of the island, in the mountains of the ancient Teno massif, Masca village is located , annually attracting many travelers with its picturesque landscapes. Traditional Canarian settlements that still retain numerous examples of domestic architecture and cultural manifestations that have survived for many centuries. Attracting to itself with its grace, simplicity and grooming.

Village Masca in Tenerife consists of five neighborhoods: El Lomo de Masca, Lomo del Medio, La Piedra, El Turon and La Vica, which are located from south to north, at altitudes between 650 and 800 meters above sea level, occupying rocky ledges and the least favorable sectors for agricultural use. It is worth mentioning that along the La Vica quarter there is a road – Camino La Vica, built on a path trampled down by the ancient inhabitants of the island (Guanches). They inhabited these picturesque places before the arrival and conquest of them by the Castilians. The trajectory of the Camino La Vica runs from the Santiago Valley (Valle de Santiago) to the El Palmar Valley, crossing the Cherfé Gorge.

Order a guide in Tenerife

The architectural part of the settlement shows us a very ancient technique for building houses, which has hardly evolved, due to its strict dependence on local conditions, the environment of the mountains and the availability of raw materials for construction. Large walls of dwellings are made of basalt blocks and mountain tuff. The solution was made with a mixture of clay, water and some kind of lime. Facades are usually not plastered. The roof consisted mainly of tiles in the Arabic style, and only in the 70s it began to be replaced by a new one – modern French tiles, replacing the old coverings over time.

One of the ancient buildings of the houses

Quarters of the village of Masca

Lomo de Masca street consists of 25 houses and is divided into two parts with a difference in height. The roads are narrow and most of them have recently been restored and are not in the best shape. However, it is the most harmonious and most preserved area.

El Lomo del Medio is grouped at the foot of the Catano rock (Spanish: Roque Catano), it is a basalt monolith dominating the deep channel of the ravine, crossing the path leading to the beach.

Catano Rock (Spanish: Roque Catano)

In the La Piedra quarter, the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the 18th century is located, along with the main square, palm trees and laurel.

The El Turrón and La Vica neighborhoods are located in the north and consist of 18 traditional buildings, some of which have already been modified with more modern decoration and decoration.

In general, over time, buildings and neighborhoods have undergone significant changes over the past decades. The use of modern materials and the expansion of houses, as well as the growth of the tourist industry, such as: bars, restaurants, shops, have changed the appearance of the mountain settlement and as a result, it has lost many of its architectural heritage and values.

If you come to Tenerife in the village of Masca, then your path will most likely pass along a rocky road, going down to the houses. The first thing you will meet on your way is the monument to Don Jose Perez Gonzalez (1896-1984). It was established in honor of the former headman of the village, who held this position in the past and did a lot for her. By the way, his nose is rubbed to a shine, apparently tinder for good luck. A little lower is the main square. Many tourists take photos here along with a century-old laurel tree of considerable size, which has seen a lot in its life. From the square opens the entrance to a small Catholic chapel. It is open on weekends and holidays.

Going down a little and following the rocky road, on the left hand side is the bar-restaurant “La Fuente”, which houses a large souvenir shop. It is good to sit on the open-air terrace with gorgeous views. Those who want to try something new can order an exotic drink from cactus fruits (opuntia) in the bar, but to be honest, fresh fruits are tastier. From the prickly pear growing in the gorge, there are other prepared products, such as liquor or jam, in Spanish the jam is called “Marmelada”. Jam is allowed to try for free, jars with it are located near the bar and must be opened.

After you have looked around all the stalls with goods and bought something to remember, you can safely go out to the adjacent balcony, which offers a magnificent view of the Katano rock. Here, of course, it is up to you to decide whether to sit at a table with a cup of coffee, spending a few minutes admiring the view, or start descending to the Katano rock.

Those who go further into the depths of Maska will see a stone staircase with bougainvillea flowers on their way – a nice place for a photo. On the road on the left is a nice bar “Blanky”, with a beautiful view of the mountains and a terrace. Here you will always find fresh cakes and pastries, and, importantly, affordable prices for both drinks and food in a large assortment, cheaper than in the La Fuente restaurant.

It is worth noting that huge natural monuments give this place a special flavor, such as the Tarucho rock (Spanish: Roque Tarucho), as if guarding and watching the gorge, along with the cone-shaped hills of Abache and La Fortaleza (Spanish: Abache y La Fortaleza ).

Tarucho Rock (Spanish: Roque Tarucho)

Facts

On July 17, 1978, the maximum temperature of 47.5 degrees was recorded in the village.

In July 2007 there was a major fire that affected many houses and destroyed almost to the ground.

As of 2012, 97 residents are officially registered in the village.

Masca Gorge

Deep ravines cutting up and down Masca Gorge in Tenerife , generated by millennia of volcanic inactivity. Due to winds and rain erosion, the formation of a new appearance of mountain formations continues to this day. Once in the gorge at different times of the year, you can see the mountains in a different guise, shrouded in blooming flowers of plants and their aromas in the spring. During the winter months, the gorge is filled with water in the form of huge waterfalls falling from a great height.

Approximately in the 1950s, the construction of roads through the gorge began. Today it is one of the most dangerous sections on the island, which is a narrow serpentine. Up to this point, people got to Masca along the trails. In some caves, rock art is still present.

There is an opinion that in the past pirates and smugglers hid in the caves.

Hiking in the Maska Gorge

Not everyone dares to walk to the Masca beach, because the distance is about 5 kilometers along a winding mountain path. If you go down slowly, the descent will take about 3 hours in one direction. The descent takes place without much difficulty, the trail is accessible to people of all ages, those who are in good physical condition. During the tour, you will enjoy unique landscapes, vertical basalt walls rising hundreds of meters from you. The mountain slopes are surrounded by flora with endemics, caves that keep secrets. You can meet here small mountain streams and small water pools, they appear depending on the season.

On reaching Masca Beach, you have a chance to cool off with a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. If you do not climb back, but are waiting for a boat to the port of Los Gigantes, then you can wander and explore all corners of the beach, or sunbathe. The path on a pleasure boat is just as colorful and interesting and will surely not leave you indifferent. The sea journey back passes by the cliffs of Los Gigantes, rising to a height of 500 meters above sea level. The rocks hanging over you will clearly tell you about their volcanic origin, shimmering in the sun in different colors, from black to red. You will discover sea caves, wild beaches and for sure there will be bottlenose dolphins that live close to the coast of this amazing place.

Information: plan your time correctly, because for some reason (twisted leg, other injury, etc.), you may not get on the last boat. And to return in the evening, when it gets dark, in addition, if you do not have a lantern at hand, it is very dangerous. Due to the fact that less light penetrates into the ravines because of the high mountains. There is an increased chance to injure yourself, not to see an obstacle, to stumble, fall, go astray, fall off the rocks, then all efforts will come to naught. If you do not have time to get up before dark, especially since it gets dark earlier in winter, then the best choice would be to wait out the night on the beach. Sunset on the shortest day of the year – December 1 at 18:08. Often, some travelers spend the night with tents on the shore and help you keep warm.

Good to have: shoes with solid soles, flashlight, water, thermal blanket or isophilia, charged phone. Call the rescue service: number 112.

Overview

Things to do

Currency

Puerto Rico began life as a tiny fishing village on the south coast of Gran Canaria, and in recent years its popularity has soared. Few visitors can resist its white-sand beach and easy-going charm, with all the shops, bars and restaurants you could need. If you’re on holiday with the kids in Puerto Rico, some of Gran Canaria’s best water parks and family attractions are a short bus journey away.

Where is Puerto Rico Gran Canaria?

Puerto Rico is on the southwestern coast of Gran Canaria, which is sheltered from cool northerly winds. This means it’s often a few degrees warmer here than northern Gran Canaria, which makes Puerto Rico an ideal base for winter holidays.

Just to the northwest of the resort is the dramatic Pilancones Natural Park (Parque Natural Pilancones). It’s famous for its beautiful mountain valleys, and is a great alternative to the busy bars of the coast if you want to get back to nature. Near the southern edge of this park is Palmitos Park, a fantastic dolphinarium, aviary and botanic park that’s also perfect for a family day out.

Things to do

Wander along the long curve of beach at the heart of Puerto Rico, lay back on a lounger and enjoy hours of Canaries sunshine. When you’re feeling up to it, white-knuckle water sports are the name of the game with high-speed jet skis or windsurfing to pick from. Kids and grown ups love the local water park, Aqualand, with its huge choice of swimming pools, slides and playgrounds. If you fancy getting out on the ocean, pay Puerto Rico’s marina a visit and set sail on the open sea for the day. When the sun sets, Puerto Rico’s balmy evenings were made for sitting outside a wine bar on the waterfront.

Watersports galore

The gorgeous beach of Puerto Rico has plenty of watersports facilities that will provide guaranteed fun for all ages. These range from traditional banana boat rides to the brand new Jetovator, a jet pack (yes, an actual, real-life jet pack!) which gives you a chance to fly over the water and enjoy breathtaking views!

Dive and explore

If you want to create some fantastic holiday memories, you may want to have a go at diving. With a one-day PADI-approved course, you’ll be qualified to go below the water and discover what lies under the waves. With more advanced courses on offer, you can even brush up on your diving skills if you’re already open-water qualified.

Beach days

The beautiful sands in Puerto Rico have made it a popular destination for beach lovers. The rustic beaches are ideal for a family day out, too, giving parents a chance to lie back in the sun while children can play in this safe environment. With lots of things to do nearby, you’re never too far away from a refreshing drink or a delicious meal.

Where is Puerto Rico nightlife?

For clubbing, head to the Shopping Center, where you can watch excellent live shows or dance the night away at one of the clubs. Puerto Rico is also home to more family bars and quieter venues at the Europa Center, the other main nightlife spot at the resort.

Other attractions near Puerto Rico

One of the most impressive natural sights in Gran Canaria is the Dunes of Maspalomas, a dramatic sand dune system that looks like a small desert. In fact, when you look at a map of all the islands and where Puerto Rico Gran Canaria is, this might not be surprising, as they are all just a short distance from the vast Sahara Desert!

Puerto Rico is also a quick hop from the popular Aqualand Maspalomas waterpark and the Roque Nublo volcanic rock which dates back around 4.5 million years.

Why Puerto RIco?

Get set for sun, sea, and sand by the bucket load – you’re jetting off to Puerto Rico. Sitting pretty on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, this treasure island brings the vitamin D all year round. Desperate for an emergency winter break? The temperature in this part of the world is a tropical 20 degrees in the winter, but bring that sun cream for a summer getaway, when you’ll be basking in 30 plus degrees.

If you’re a fly-and-flop connoisseur, you’ll be giving Puerto Rico full marks. Toddle on down to two gorgeous beaches for that authentic fun in the sun experience, and say ‘hola’ to a cheeky cocktail as you touch up that tan, before hitting the strip as the sun goes down and hitting the dancefloor.

And to walk off that post-party wooziness, make the most of the jam-packed activities. Head on up into the clouds with a hike up the island’s famous mountain peaks and take in those Insta-worthy views. Or to tune in to your zen side, hit up the Palmitos Botanical Park for a lusciously green retreat.

From buzzing nightlife to a beachy paradise, Puerto Rico is a hidden gem in golden Gran Canaria.

Puerto Rico holidays take you to a very pleasant purpose-built resort on the south coast of Gran Canaria. It is a relaxed resort with two sandy beaches, the town beach and Amadores beach. The former is the quieter of the two and its shallow, sheltered waters are ideal for those with young children. The latter offers a range of water sports for the more energetic visitor. The Puerto Rico beach is framed by tropical gardens and a promenade. You’ll also find two public swimming pools. The resort is well placed to access tourist attractions in the area. These include the water park, Lago Taurito; a theme park, Sioux City; an eighteen hole golf course in Maspalomas. If you want to make the most of your visit and travel further afield, car hire is recommended.

Puerto Rico has a range of hotels and apartments providing high-quality accommodation that caters for most budgets. Hemmed in by barren hills, the hotels line the bay and creep up the hillside. Those with mobility problems should choose their accommodation carefully. Make sure you compare the price of the discounted all inclusive holidays. It may be cheaper than you think and can offer good value. Puerto Rico’s wide variety of restaurants caters for all tastes. Even the most conservative of British palates is able to enjoy familiar food. With pub grub, fast foods, pizzerias, fish restaurants and those serving traditional fare, there can be no complaints regarding choice. If you are new to Spanish cuisine, order tapas and you’ll receive a selection of snack-sized local dishes, ideal as tasters. Local wines and beers are inexpensive. Although there are a number of lively bars, nightlife is essentially a quiet affair, reflecting the resort’s popularity with families. Puerto Rico has a shopping centre with a more than an adequate number of shops supplying all your holiday needs.

Low cost Puerto Rico holidays can be taken at any time of year as there are no extremes of climate in the Canary Islands. Winters are pleasantly warm and summers are never unbearably hot. Several budget airlines fly direct from regional airports to Gran Canaria. You can check on the Cheekytrip website to see if there are holidays from your local airport. Transfers to the resort take a little over half an hour.

Once you have decided on your destination, you will then want to find the Puerto Rico holiday that offers the best value. This can be a tricky business as both the volume and the variety of special offers can be bewildering. If you want to spare yourself this chore, we can help. Cheekytrip is a price comparison site with access to great discounts from more than three dozen travel companies. Since all are vying for your booking, you’ll see some incredible savings. It only takes a few moments of your time as it involves one quick search.

Best destination for you in Gran Canaria? + holiday guide

Puerto Rico is one of the larger resorts in Gran Canaria but has a nice compact feel at the same time. So if you want buzzing and many choices but everything within walking distance, this is an excellent destination for you.

Table of Contents

Beaches

In Puerto Rico, you have one lovely white sandy beach in front of the resort surrounded by bars and restaurants, so ideal for a family holiday on the beach. However, if you want to spend a lot of time on the beach, I would advise you to look at where your hotel is. As many hotels in this area are located far up the hill so it might be quite a far walk to get to the beach, so keep that in mind.

If you want a bit of a change, you can also from here walk to the Playa de Amadores beach just in the resort next door.

<noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/gran-canaria-russian.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Kanarskie-ostrova.jpg' /></noscript> youtube.com/embed/sLxzzIk9dxE?feature=oembed” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=””>

Hotels

Puerto Rico has many great hotels. One thing to keep in mind tho is location. Some of them are very high up the mountainside. Because of this, some might not be suitable for you if you have small children. Here are some of my favourite ones that are in a good location:

If you want to be all the way in front of the resort and close to the beach, have a look at the Marina Suites.

The hotel Riu Vistamar All Inclusive is on top of the mountain. The reason I am including this one is because it is an ideal family holiday hotel. With a shuttle that you can take for free up and down the mountain.

For adults only with great views and a compact personal feel, the Marina Bayview Apartments are great.

Nightlife

For nightlife, there are many clubs and late-night bars in Puerto Rico. However, do keep in mind that Puerto Rico changes a lot depending on the time of year. Some times of the year, the resort is very chill with mostly older visitors who like to have a few drinks and relax.

Other times of years, especially in school, college, and university holidays, many younger people are here. They come here looking to party and quickly fill up the clubs in this area. So depending on what exactly you are looking for, you can find both here. Just make sure you pick the right time to go if you want to go clubbing and party.

Things to do in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is mostly about eating, drinking and the beach. However, there are also some fun things to do. I would advise the Activity Park with lots of things to climb on, jump down, and slide down for the kids. For the adults, taking a boat trip to Puerto de Mogan market is a nice day out. Having a walk over to the neighbouring beach of Playa de Amadores is also a good option.

Here is my complete list of things to do and not do while on holiday in Puerto Rico.

Restaurant & bars

When it comes to restaurants, there is a lot of choice and variety in Puerto Rico. Most of these are on the front line next to the beach but also in the centrally located shopping centre you will find a large variety of restaurants. In the shopping centre, you will find budget places and all you can eat oriental cuisine. However, next to the beach, you will find the more pricey fish and steak restaurants.

How to get to Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

Arguineguin is 42 km from the Gran Canaria airport (LPA):

Public transport: 5.50€

Shuttle bus: 9.00€

Taxi: 50€

Some essential things you need to know and the companies I booked within Gran Canaria for shuttles, buses and taxis… you can find here.

My first impression of Puerto Rico was, “this is one big shopping centre”. And in a way, it still is. From almost every hotel in this resort, you look down into the shopping centre located in the valley of the resort. This place offers quite a few nice stores.

Just watch out for some of the electronics stores. In the daytime, this area is almost empty but can offer a nice cold and fresh vibe to browse the store windows. However, it gets much more lively in the evening with many bars and restaurants opening up for the busy evenings.

Do you think Puerto Rico might be a bit too big and busy for you? Then, have a look at my guide on “Where to stay in Gran Canaria”.

Puerto Rico Overview

Great beaches: On Puerto Rico holidays, you’ll find all of the beaches have their attractions. Perhaps the most beautiful is Amadores, which is a large, curving bay with white sand and headlands which help keep the water calm.

Sunshine holidays: You’re practically guaranteed good weather on holidays to Puerto Rico as the south of Gran Canaria, where Puerto Rico is located, is the hottest, sunniest part of the island. Temperatures can be as much as 5C hotter than the northern side. And that means even holidays to Puerto Rico in winter enjoy plenty of sunshine and 25C warmth.

Lots to do: With a PGA standard golf course, nature trails, shopping centres and games arcades you’ll never be bored on holidays to Puerto Rico. That’s not forgetting the fun water sports when you’re at the beach too.

Activities in Puerto Rico

Anfi Tauro Golf Course: This stunning golf course was created in 2006 and Puerto Rico proudly plays host to the PGA Spanish Championships. The holes include water features, wide fairways and white sand bunkers against a backdrop of the rocky coastline. And there are fabulous views out to the Atlantic, making this course an excellent choice for golfing holidays in Gran Canaria.

Water sports galore: The beaches on Puerto Rico holidays are well supported with water sports like jet skiing, windsurfing, sailing, and parasailing. So the waters around the resort are just perfect if you like your holidays a little more active!

Mountain walk: The best way to get to Playa de los Amadores beach is by a 20 minute cliff-top walk from Puerto Rico. At its peak you’ll be able to fully take in the splendour of the surrounding scenery, so you can take some great snaps on your holidays then have a well-earned cocktail at the beach after!

Beaches in Puerto Rico

Anfi Beach: Holidays to Puerto Rico are mainly spent on the beach, and Anfi has to be the best in the resort. One of the most beautiful beaches on Gran Canaria holidays, it’s quite a contrast to many Canarian coastlines as the sand is of the pure white variety. The sand has been imported from coral beds in the Caribbean and as such is extremely fine and soft.

Playa de los Amadores: Literally translated as ‘beach of the lovers’ you’ll certainly find romance in holidays spent at this lovingly created man-made beach. It’s another one which has white sand imported from Caribbean beaches, and the shoreline leads into glowing turquoise water just like the tropics it’s inspired by. The sea here deepens quite quickly but it’s also fairly calm as it’s protected on both sides with long headlands.

Restaurants in Puerto Rico

Minanas: This little Spanish restaurant in Puerto Rico has a style all of its own, with mismatched pieces of furniture and unusual memorabilia. Where it really becomes unique is in the quality of its food though – Cod in Tomato Sauce, Bacon and Chicken with Asparagus and Mushroom Sauce and Hot Chocolate Strudel are just a few examples of the interesting and diverse menu. The chef even comes out to Flamenco dance after he’s finished cooking!

Cosi Come Sei: We highly recommend a visit to this classy Italian restaurant during holidays to Puerto Rico. It’s a cut above your standard holiday fare with gourmet-style presentation of classic Italian dishes and favourites like Fillet Steak with Herb Butter.

Garoe Grill: You’ll enjoy brilliant value at this barbecue and grill joint. The set menu is particularly worth a try, as you get huge portions for low prices! Cheap holidays to Puerto Rico will be even cheaper if you eat here! The kebabs and mixed meat grills come served sizzling hot on wooden platters, and their t-bone steaks are very juicy too.

Nightlife in Puerto Rico

Clubbing holidays: Puerto Rico holidays are the most popular holidays in Gran Canaria, so it’s no surprise that the resort is well stocked with bars and clubs. The best bars are often found in the many commercial centres dotted around Puerto Rico. We’d recommend Bora-Bora, Pub Turbo and Hawaii Bar as lively places to party. And if you fancy staying out a little longer, head to the dance club Jokers or the R ‘n’ B club Space. Of course, there are some great family bars too like Hoops or the Tropicana where you can enjoy chilled out drinks and cocktails whilst catching up on a bit of sport on TV.

Shopping in Puerto Rico

Centro Comerical Puerto Rico: With over 100 shops and all the main bars and clubs within this centre, you can certainly say it’s often at the forefront of holidays to Puerto Rico. You’ll find a supermarket, fashion boutiques, electrical shops, jewellers and perfumers all within this bustling mall.

Puerto Mogan Market: This large market is held every Friday in Puerto Mogan, just a few kilometres away from Puerto Rico. It’s a great place to pick up some original souvenirs to bring back from holidays here. The stalls include African ornaments, Canarian music CDs, Canary Islands cheeses and leather jackets amongst many, many other items!

Oleg Rest 30.01.2021

+: The place is very beautiful. Great beach. The hotel is well thought out. The views are mesmerizing. The restaurant is beyond praise. Despite the incomplete loading of the hotel, the kitchen tried to 150%. Very tasty and varied. The restaurant staff is friendly and welcoming. We talked happily for two weeks. -: Unfortunately, the hotel is dilapidated. Especially the furniture in the rooms. Needs reconstruction. Upset the staff at the main reception. Mostly professional, but there are random people.

Natalia Rest 01/14/2020

+: Wonderful hotel. There are two beaches nearby (one of them is Amadores), walk 5 minutes to both in different directions. The town is also cute, green, it’s nice to take a walk both in the afternoon and in the evening. We rested five of us, all adults (women’s company), on New Year’s holidays (January 2020). They offered us a family room for check-in. They came in and were amazed. Spacious, in the middle of the hall and a small kitchen. From the Hall there is access to two rooms. Each room has its own bathroom and dressing room. And just amazing, a huge balcony overlooking the ocean!!!. Admired the sunset every day, incomparably. Polite, attentive staff, there is also Russian-speaking Sybil. The food is varied, took breakfast and dinner. Overeated. For breakfast they offer: scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, churas. Amazingly delicious cottage cheese, yoghurts. Various cuts, buns, desserts, a lot of fruits and much more. I don’t think we even tried half of them. There was also honey in the combs for breakfast. Dinner is also striking in abundance: fish, meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits, desserts. And every day is different. Re

Yulia Rest 01/09/2020

+: Despite the fact that the hotel building is no longer new, in general the hotel made a very positive impression. Particularly pleasing is the presence of white fabric tablecloths on the tables in the dining room, which is an indicator of hotels of a decent level. Spacious SPA complex with a large number of procedures! All rooms are ocean view except ground floor. We got a good impression and it is quite possible that we will go to this hotel again! -: The staff is not quick to respond in the dining room to serve a wine list or bring other drinks. Also, housekeeping is not perfect. The cleaning lady did her best for the first two days, and then she just made the beds and changed the towels. The food, in my opinion, is very simple, but in general, probably normal for a dining room.

+: Wonderful view from the terrace. Very beautiful sunsets. The two beaches can be reached by a walkway along the ocean. I liked the beach away Amadores, turquoise water. There are a lot of fruits for breakfast and dinner: mango, papaya and others. When moving to another hotel, they forgot the jeans in the room. The next day we arrived at Gloria, found jeans, thanks to the staff. For a child of 13 years old, they put a separate bed, the room is large. -: Bathroom drain, loud noises. Then they got used to it.

Igor Rest We lived in room 4309 (4th block) from 24.07 to 03.08, the ocean panorama from the balcony is just perfect, the beds are huge, every day cleaning and change of bed linen. Cleanliness in the room after cleaning – sterile. Simply amazing!!!! We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The variety of dishes was very impressive. Rarely in some hotel you will find meat (pork, beef, chicken) and fish of two options in one evening, and besides, king prawns !!!!! Paradise for gourmets)))) Everything is cooked very tasty, great respect to the chefs and waiters!!! Two outdoor pools in the hotel remove the issue of daytime swimming and sunbathing :)))). You won’t find a better hotel in the Canary Islands, I highly recommend it!!!! We will be back there next year for sure! Igor Praha, Czech Republic

What are some of the amenities at GLORIA PALACE AMADORES THALASSO & HOTEL?

GLORIA PALACE AMADORES THALASSO & HOTEL has:
Like any other Caribbean island, Puerto Rico loves and knows how to celebrate. Almost all dates of the local calendar, both religious and secular, are usually accompanied by some kind of festivals or processions, and the most favorite holidays gather almost all the inhabitants of the island. Each city in the country celebrates the day of its patron saint, who in these parts often carries the features of not only a Catholic saint, but also numerous gods and spirits of the Indian or African pantheon, which, coupled with colorful Spanish traditions, gives all local holidays a special flavor. There are also many religious holidays, music and sports festivals, as well as dance ceremonies and colorful costume processions.

The “quietest” holiday of the country is the Christmas holidays, which are often called Las Navidades here. From December 15 to January 6, a huge number of various ceremonies and rituals take place almost throughout the country, but they will most likely not be visible to an inexperienced foreigner – most of them are held in a church parish or simply in their own home.

The people of San Juan take to the streets during the Festival of Saint Sebastian in the third week of January, when the whole city literally explodes with colorful processions and musical rhythms. On the eve of Lent (February), Ponce celebrates a six-day carnival, when locals dress up in horned vejigantes masks, and various dances and parades go literally one after another. The best place to experience the religious culture of the island is the Festival of La Virginia de la Candelaria (“Feast of the Virgin”) in Mayagüez in early February.

The beginning of summer is the busiest time on the local holiday calendar. At the end of June, one of the best local carnivals takes place – the festival of St. John the Baptist in San Juan, which combines all kinds of religious and secular events. It attracts international classical musicians and is one of the Caribbean’s premier cultural events. The highlight of the holiday is the colorful procession of the “Parade of Communes” descending to the sea at midnight. During the same period, the two-week Casals Music Festival and the Heineken Jazz Festival (also in San Juan, in the Sixto Escobar Park in Condado) are held.

At the end of July, the Festival of St. James, or Santiago the Apostle in Loytsa, is held, full of various traditional performances in African style. You should definitely visit the numerous events in honor of the Constitution Day of Puerto Rico (end of July), in honor of the birthday of Jose Celso Barbosa – a doctor, sociologist and political leader of the country (usually July 27), the Burukena Festival (“burukena” – small crabs) in municipality of Aguas Buenas (mid-August)

In November, the Bomb-and-Plena National Festival in Ponce is considered the most colorful holiday, gathering under its roof the best masters of drumming (“bomb”) and folk song singers. The exuberant Innosens Festival in Hatillo (December 28) is very colorful, when carnival participants dressed in various costumes and tin armor chase children through the streets of the city, symbolizing the deeds of the biblical king Herod. And on Christmas holidays, dozens of traveling orchestras, minstrels and theater troupes roam the country and put on hundreds of performances.

One of the country’s most famous festivals is the LeLoAi Festival, a year-round musical performance that introduces visitors to the island to typical Puerto Rican music and dance. The Puerto Rico Travel Company has been holding this festival for over 25 years, so it has long become a hallmark of the local culture.

One of the main hobbies of Puerto Ricans is baseball, so when it starts in November
sports season, the country is in a veritable fever culminating in the finals in February. Accordingly, the matches themselves are designed with great sophistication, and the locals know how to “cheer” – we must give them their due.

Atlantic Yacht Vacation ▶️Sailica.com

Atlantic yachtsman’s guide. Weather, seasonality, recommended sailing routes and locations – an overview of the region for holiday planning.

Sailing in the Atlantic

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest after the Pacific Ocean. Its name comes from the Greek description of the waters beyond the Strait of Gibraltar, Atlantis thalassa, which means “sea of Atlanta”. Thousands of kilometers of unique coastline and tens of thousands of islands and archipelagos will impress even the most experienced yachtsmen.

Yachting the British and Greater Antilles, sailing in the Bahamas and Bermuda, visiting the Caribbean or even Tierra del Fuego. Or do you want to cross the ocean from Europe to America? The Atlantic will give you an unforgettable adventure no matter where you start it.

Why is yachting in the waters of the Atlantic interesting? Its waters wash the eastern coast of North and South America, and the western coast of Europe and Africa. The deepest point is located near the island of Puerto Rico and is 8742 meters. The average depth is not much different from its neighbors and is 3736 meters.

The area of the Atlantic without the seas flowing into it is approximately 82 million km2. Because of its S-shape, the width of the ocean varies from 3,000 km to 6,500 km.

The Atlantic Ocean has the largest catchment area. The largest rivers flowing into the Atlantic include: the Mississippi, the Amazon, the Niger, the Congo, La Plata, as well as dozens of rivers that flow into the seas of the Atlantic basin. The northern part of the ocean is rich in islands and tributaries of the seas.

From May to December in the western part of the African continent, near Cape Verde, tropical cyclones develop and move west into the Caribbean Sea.

Popular sailing routes in the Atlantic.

The Atlantic Ocean is a vast expanse of water spanning 5 continents and bordering nearly 45 countries. For sailors, the Atlantic Ocean is known for bringing some of the most favorable winds and sailing conditions for any sailing route both north and south of the equator. Yacht tourism is very well developed here. From easy and comfortable sailing for beginners in the Bahamas to challenging and windy passages for experts in the Canary Islands.

The most popular destinations for planning a sailing itinerary in the Atlantic Ocean: Ascension Island, Azores, Portugal, Bahamas, Bermuda, Bioko, Bissagos Islands, Bouvet Island, Brazil, Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands , Florida Keys, UK, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Madeira, Norway Kunya and offshore islands of the United States.

In fact, sailing routes in the Atlantic Ocean can be divided into 2 types: transatlantic and local. An example of a transatlantic crossing:

Sardinia, Italy – Gibraltar – Canary Islands, Tenerife – Cape Verde – Grenada.

Such transitions take, on average, from 18 to 23 days.

Examples of 7-day local itineraries in the Atlantic:

Portugal: Alcantara Marina, Lisbon – Cascais and Boca do Inferno – Troy – Abrigo – Sesimbra – Oeiras – Nations Park, Lisbon;

British Virgin Islands: Tortola – Norman Island – Peter Island – Dead Chest Island – Salt Island – Cooper Island – Ginger Island – Tortola;

Canary Islands: San Miguel, Tenerife – Puerto de la Estaca, El Hierro – San Sebastian, La Gomera – Los Cristianos, Tenerife – Santa Cruz de la Palma – Santa Cruz de – Tenerife – Las Palmas, Gran Canaria – San Miguel.

It is also possible to make excellent sailing itineraries in the Azores, Madeira, off the coast of Brazil and Fliroda. The Atlantic Ocean is an endless source of inspiration for sailing adventures.

Yachting season in the waters of the Atlantic

The water temperature in the Atlantic strongly depends on the currents, primarily on the Gulf Stream. Also, the temperature of the ocean depends on the location. The closer to the equator, the warmer the water becomes. Higher temperatures, up to +28°C, are reached in coastal areas near the equator, and the minimum is around -2°C in the polar regions. From October to June, the surface is usually covered by sea ice in the Labrador Sea, the Denmark Strait and the Baltic Sea.

In the Atlantic Ocean, due to its length, the high season lasts all year round, but depends on the location. The Azores have excellent weather conditions for yachting from April to October, the Caribbean from November to February, and the Canary Islands all year round. In the Dominican Republic, it is better to relax during the period when there are no torrential tropical rains – from December to February. Tropical cyclones accompanied by hurricane-force winds are common in summer. They move from the coast of Cape Verde towards the Caribbean Sea.

Main winds and currents in the Atlantic

In the North Atlantic, the trade winds maintain a fairly steady current from east to west, partly due to the direct action of the wind and partly due to the accumulation of warm water on the north side of the current. Most of the water carried by this current continues to flow into the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, where it flows out into the warm and fast Florida Current, which later forms the Gulf Stream.

A strong surface current is present in the Strait of Gibraltar as the waters of the Atlantic flow into the heavily evaporating Mediterranean Sea.

The Canary Current turns south from the North Atlantic Current and then follows southwest around the west coast of Africa. Further, this current is combined with the warm North Equatorial Current and, having reached the West Indies, turns to the northwest. This completes the circulation of currents in the North Atlantic.

The currents of the South Atlantic are in many ways similar to the North Atlantic. The southeast trade winds support the South Trade Wind Current, which heads west, where it splits into two branches: one turns into the Caribbean, the other turns south, forming the Brazil Current.

The African Sahara desert has a very strong impact on the Atlantic. A current of wind over the Atlantic Ocean, called the African East Current, forms over the west coast of Africa and heads towards North America. These streams are fed by warm water, gaining strength and producing some of the strongest hurricanes seen in the US between June and December.

Went in August 2020 in Fethiye bay. Picked up a yacht on sailica.com. Convenient service and attentive manager, promptly answered all questions by phone and skype. The yacht is in good condition, everything is clean and tidy, excellent marina. Checkin and checkout went quickly, the deposit was returned all at once. I recommend Sailica and will use their services myself.

I am grateful to Sailica and personally to the manager Kirill for help in organizing and accompanying a 2-week catamaran charter in Croatia. Making a charter through the company Sailica significantly reduced the price that was indicated on the website of the charter company. Our questions received a prompt response at any time. There was a complete feeling that they were not just providing us with a service for money, but they were trying to sympathetically and patiently explain everything and simply help.

Friends, I would like to say a few kind words about the Sailica yacht company with which we chartered for the May holidays. I would like to note the excellent work of the company’s employees at all stages of the event, when preparing the charter, they received quickly comprehensive answers to all questions, information support and resolution of issues related to various organizational issues.
