Closer to northern Africa than mainland Spain, holidays to the Canary Islands promise unlimited sunshine. But its year-round warmth isn’t the only draw – its extraordinary terrain is just as alluring. From Lanzarote’s fiery landscape to Gran Canaria’s never-ending sand dunes, no two of its seven islands are the same. Then there’s the largest of them all, Tenerife! Other than buzzing beach resorts and soaring sea cliffs, this popular spot is home to Spain’s highest and most famous volcano. Wherever you choose to visit, there’s a holiday hotspot for everyone hiding in this Atlantic archipelago.

Things to do

With such a diverse landscape, the Canary Island holidays offer up experiences of every kind. Beach lovers will have their pick of sunbathing spots. For swathes of white sand, they don’t get much more beautiful than Papagayo Beach in Lanzarote and Corralejo Grandes Playas in Fuerteventura thanks to their natural park surroundings. Elsewhere, you’ll find a good mix of golden and black shorelines, some filled with tourist facilities and others completely remote.

The varied scenery also promises plenty of wildlife sightings. If you’re heading to the south on your holiday to Gran Canaria, don’t forget to look out for whales and dolphins swimming in the Atlantic. Or, you can always spend a day observing tigers, pandas and sloths in Tenerife’s popular Loro Park. More of a waterpark fan than an animal enthusiast? Then, make sure you visit Siam Park, Spain’s top splash-filled attraction! Families will love the giant waves as adrenaline junkies try and pluck up the courage to ride its near vertical slide.

And the adventures don’t end there! Those who appreciate the great outdoors shouldn’t miss out on the chance to explore one of the Canary island’s most famous natural attractions on their holidays to Tenerife. Whether you come here to hike to the top of the towering Mount Teide, or hunt down its stargazing spots – there’s no better way to soak up the archipelago’s true beauty than a trip to this national park. While the views across Timanfaya National Park’s lava fields are listed on just about every tourist guide as are the sunsets at Roque Nublo. Prefer wet activities? Then, the Atlantic will be waiting with its long list of watersports, from surfing to snorkelling and sea kayaking.

Places to stay

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, home to Spain’s highest mountain, fine sandy beaches and some of the archipelago’s most vibrant nightlife. Often referred to as a ‘mini continent’, Gran Canaria is famous for its rocky beaches, sandy dunes and cosmopolitan capital city; Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. While Lanzarote holidays are all about exploring its amazing lunar landscape. It’s also home to an impressive contrasting coastline, from its dark volcanic sands to its golden coves. Speaking of beaches, Fuerteventura has the most of all the Canary Islands, with vast dunes stretching for miles. Nature lovers, on the other hand, will love La Palma with its abundance of greenery and incredible clear skies drawing stargazers from around the world. Not to mention La Gomera and El Hierro for their forest trails.

Gay Pride: The Canary Islands have a strong, gay community and May sees the streets of Maspalomas explode into a riot of parades, music and outrageous costumes. The Gay Pride celebrations are both fun and absolutely fabulous!

Canary Islands safety and security

Do I need a passport?

Anyone visiting the Canary Islands will need a passport, which will need to be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave.

Do I need a visa?

If you’re a British citizen, you don’t need a visa to enter the Canary Islands as a tourist. If you’re in any doubt as to whether or not you need a visa, it’s always best to contact the Spanish Embassy to check.

For up-to-date advice on entry requirements please visit the FCDO website.

Should I get travel health insurance?

Anybody jetting off on a holiday to the Canary Islands should ensure they have comprehensive travel and health insurance in place. If you become ill or are injured while away, your insurance will cover or help towards the cost of any medical treatment needed. It’s a good idea to have a read through your policy documents before your trip so that you’re aware of what is and isn’t covered, and also to check if there is extra cover for any activities you may be planning.

For up-to-date advice on travelling to the Canary Islands, please visit the FCDO website.

Canary Islands weather

Temperature: Average temperatures range from 18°C in the winter to 26°C in the summer.

Best time to visit?

Known for its mild climate, the Canary Islands get more days of sunshine than almost anywhere else in the world. Come here from May to July and you’ll enjoy average temperatures of around 26°C, perfect for beach breaks. Those looking to go swimming or snorkelling will appreciate August’s heated waters, when sea temperatures are a pleasant 23°C. But these sun-kissed islands are just as popular in the winter. Although cooler, you can still experience highs of around 24°C and days rarely drop below 15°C.

If you’ve come here to explore the many geographical wonders here, spring and autumn are considered the best seasons for hiking. These months are generally quieter too, so you’ll get to take full advantage of peaceful beaches and attractions.

What should I pack?

What you pack for your trip will depend on what time of year you’re visiting the Canary Islands. The days here are generally long, hot and sunny, particularly during the summer months, so pack plenty of high-factor sun cream and don’t forget your after sun, hat, and a cover-up for long days at the beach or by the pool. Other essentials include sunglasses, plenty of cool, light clothes, and a jumper for cooler evenings.

It’s also a good idea to pack some comfortable walking shoes for sightseeing and an EU travel adaptor to keep your mobile phone and other devices charged on your trip.

Best Time to Visit the Canary Islands

As in the UK, the weather in the Canary Islands is variable. But whichever island you are on and whenever you are on it you can expect it to be a lot warmer and drier than at home.

They may be little more than a four-hour flight away, but the islands enjoy a sub-tropical climate that makes them great for a holiday at any time of the year.

Winter temperatures are mild enough to sunbathe on Christmas Day with maybe six or seven hours of sun and the thermometer nudging 22 degrees. Although the Atlantic may be warm enough for a dip the temperature will be much lower on the hills and mountains where, sometimes, it snows.

In the summer it rarely gets uncomfortably hot. The sun can shine for up to 10 hours a day, but maximum temperatures are usually between 25 and 30 degrees Centigrade. Between May and September, it rarely rains on the coast.

The average annual rainfall for the Canary Islands is less than 150mm a year. London has almost four times as much. It may rain in Tenerife for 14 days a year but London has more than 100 wet days. Micro-climates mean some islands have wetter and drier areas.

Canary Island Travel Advice

Car hire: Road networks are good on the Canary Islands and car hire is popular and widely available. Drivers must be over 21 and should carry with them in the car picture ID (like a driving licence or passport) and the car hire document. Drive on the right.

Taxis: They operate on all five islands and fares are regulated. Most drivers speak English so you can discuss the fare before you travel. Expect fares to climb if your journey takes you outside the town or resort you are in. Flag a cab, go to a rank or book by phone (your hotel will help).

Buses: Reliable and regular bus services run on all five islands. The routes, timetables and fares are available on-line and in English for some islands. Discounts can usually be obtained for multiple journeys.

Ferries: Hydrofoils and ferries link all the islands.

Make the most of your trip Things to see & do

Take a 4×4 journey into the wild

There’s a limit to where cars and buses can go on the island of Fuerteventura, so go the extra mile on a safari.

See baby turtles in a sea nursery

Tourists can support a Fuerteventura conservation project that is battling to save the endangered leatherhead turtle. And don’t miss the sperm whale!

Las Palmas Carnival

Once upon a time Gran Canaria decided to have a carnival. Now it’s a non-stop spectacular of music and colour that parties day and night for weeks – if you have the stamina.

Frequently asked questions

Are the Canary Islands named after the birds?

No, the birds are named after the islands. The islands are named after large dogs that were running wild when the Romans arrived. The Latin word for dogs is canis. The chirpy yellow birds on the islands got their name in the 17th century.

Are all the beaches in the Canary Islands black?

Definitely not. The islands are famous for their very many beautiful white and gold sand beaches and sand dunes. However, there are some stunning black or dark-coloured beaches to be found on all these volcanic islands. Most of La Palma’s beaches are black.

Are the Canary Islands in Africa or Europe?

Geographically they are closer to Africa, Fuerteventura is less than 70 miles from Morocco. But the islands have been Spanish since the 15th century. They are part of the EU and the euro is the currency.

Canary Island Spa Secrets

The huge variety of private spas on offer in the Canary Islands stunning. New treatments, a world away from the traditional head massage and manicure, make full use of the many natural resources found in the region. Read our guide to some of the best spas in the Canary Islands.

Holidays in Canary Islands

The closest of the Canary Islands to Africa, Fuerteventura holidays share the continent’s white and black sands and fine weather, but this Spanish island has a distinct European vibe. A relaxing place for a Canary Islands holiday, it has over 150 vast stretches of beach to chill out on, as well as two national parks to explore.

The second most populated Canary Island, Gran Canaria is full of natural beauty. Known as the ‘miniature continent’ due to its variety of climates and terrain, this beautiful island offers opportunities to unwind or experience something new and exciting.

La Gomera is the quietest of all the Canary Islands and offers something different compared with its neighbours. While holidays to the Canary Islands often revolve around eating and enjoying the beach, La Gomera holidays are extra special. Here you’ll get a new perspective of the islands – think empty, secluded beaches, mountainsides with thick forests and laid-back, traditional villages.

The island of La Palma isn’t called La Isla Bonita, or ‘The Beautiful Island’, for nothing. Covered in lush forests and dominated by towering volcanoes, it’s the ideal spot for visitors looking to taste something a little different on their Canary Island holiday.

All Inclusive Lanzarote holidays offer a classic beach destination. Since the seventies sun-seekers have been stretching out on the island’s striking volcanic sands and basking in the year-round sizzling sunshine.

The biggest and most popular Canary Island, holidays in Tenerife offer a variety of both bustling and more tranquil resorts, not to mention the diverse landscape where you can enjoy the phenomenal weather.

Holidays in the Canary Islands

If you love days at the beach then take your pick between golden shores and dark volcanic sands. Maybe the great outdoors sounds a little more tempting? Welcome to trekking paradise! Hike across mountains, tropical forests and volcanic terrain for your back to nature adventure. This is just the beginning of the Canaries amazing appeal…

Weather

Say hello to year round sunshine! Whether it’s winter or summer, a holiday in the Canaries is always a good idea. The sun-drenched Spanish islands sit just off the coast of Africa, benefiting from sweeping easterly winds courtesy of the Sahara.

December temperatures rarely drop below 20°C, perfect climes for outdooring and exploring! Sizzling summers creep upwards to 30°C. Long, sunny days melt from one to the next – a dream for dedicated beach bums chasing sand and sea. Even on the hottest days, the Atlantic’s refreshing waters keep the islands from over-heating. Rain is practically unheard of, so leave the umbrella at home and bask in the stunning sub-tropical climate.

Discover the Canary Islands

When it comes to the battle for the Canary Islands’ best beaches, Gran Canaria really gives Fuerteventura a run for its money. There’s sand dunes on these shores too! And the Maspalomas Beach sits right on the edge of this wonderful nature reserve. Strolling through the walking routes that dissect the dunes, you’ll really appreciate the beauty of the Gran Canarian coastline.

The island also goes toe to toe with Tenerife in the battle to be king of the coast. Towering cliffs characterise Tenerife’s beaches, but Gran Canaria has its own coves tucked away among the rocks. The tranquil Playa Taurito is perfect for taking in the mountain scenery. For seaside charm, be sure to head to Playa de Mogán. Stretch your legs with a stroll along the harbour or around the village, taking in the traditional buildings as you go. The beach here is tailor-made for families, with soft golden sand and calm waters. Your little ones can splash to their heart’s content.

In fact you’ll find plenty of fascinating old towns on Gran Canaria. The pick of the bunch may well be in the capital city of Las Palmas! Vegeuta is the oldest part of town and its narrow streets are just brimming with historic charm. Even down to the detail of doorways and decoration surrounding windows. The Cathedral de Santa Ana stands proud in the square of the same name and with two impressive towers, it’s the icing on Las Palmas’ cultural cake.

Last but not least it’s the lava plug that keeps watch over the rest of Gran Canaria. Roque Nublo sits up in the clouds and stands at an enormous 80m! Impressive from afar, it’s even more mesmerising up close and personal – so be sure to take the trek to the top. But be warned, you may be blown away by the panoramas! The rural park here is a blend of pine trees, plant life and picturesque villages.

View Villas in Gran Canaria

Heaven for beach lovers, there’s golden sands galore on this amazing island, with over 150km to choose from. So it’s easy to argue that Fuerteventura takes the Canary Island crown when it comes to spectacular beaches. And that’s before any mention of the watersports and adventures at sea! The conditions here are perfect for all kinds of surfing, from kite to wind and just jumping on your board to catch a few waves. The strong winds make trying your hand at these a real gem on Fuerteventura’s shores. Snorkelling and diving are a delight too, with crystal-clear seas and warm waters.

Corralejo Beach is one of Fuerteventura’s finest. A long stretch of golden sand, shimmering in the year-round sun as it meets the turquoise waves. This the type of picture-perfect scenery that you’d expect to find on postcards! The beach also borders the dunes of Corralejo’s national park. Stretch your legs as you trek across this stunning desert-like part of the Canary Islands – getting back to nature has never felt so good.

Head inland and you’ll find just as much charm and beauty. It doesn’t get much better than Betancuria! This is Fuerteventura off the beaten track, far from the clutches of tourism and brimming with tradition. Tucked away in a beautiful green valley, mountains and hills create spectacular views around every turn. Be sure to take a winding wander around the cobbled streets too! Ancient buildings are dotted throughout Betancuria, including the mesmerising church of Santa Maria, a handful of fascinating museums and lots more.

Families will find plenty of fun on Fuerteventura too – making it ideal for visits with your little ones. Why not swap the sand dunes for slides in Corralejo? The Acua Water Park is the perfect spot to splash around, race your kids on slides and find thrills on the 100m slide! While the Big Jacuzzi and Slow River offer a welcome break from the action. If your children are budding animal experts, add La Lajita Oasis Adventure Park to your Fuerteventura itinerary. Animal encounters await for your little wildlife lovers. Whether their favourite critters live on land, call the sea home or soar overhead – they’ll be spoilt for choice. Grab a seat for one of the live shows and learn some fascinating facts about these amazing animals.

Take in Tenerife from the top of Mount Teide. If you’re searching for somewhere to enjoy the volcanic landscape, you’ll struggle to find a better spot! Plus, on a clear day you might catch a glimpse of Gran Canaria and the smaller Canary Islands of La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma in the distance. Tired legs can take the cable car to the top in just eight minutes! While trekking fanatics will love the five hour ascent, marvelling at craters and rock formations as you go.

Head north and swap the rocky terrain for the greenery of the Anaga Country Park. Home to tropical forests and beautiful native flora, the volcanic terrain of Teide will feel a million miles away. The Laurisilva trees are a highlight! You’ll only find these in a handful of other European countries.

If plant life is a holiday must-see, be sure to head to Icod de los Vinos. An incredible 800 year-old dragon tree draws visitors in their droves. Although an amble through the cobbled streets is just as fascinating. You’ll get a flavour for traditional Tenerife here, dotted with 16th and 17th century chapels and a charming town square. Maybe lava tunnels are a little more alluring than the leaves and branches? Nearby you’ll find Europe’s longest lava tube in the Cueva del Viento. In fact, you’d have to head to Hawaii to find any longer than the Canary Islands’ ‘Cave of the Wind’. Exploring the caverns and tunnels will leave you feeling like a true underground adventurer.

All this talk of Teide’s summit and cable cars might have left you feeling a little uneasy, but there’s plenty of ways to enjoy Tenerife’s landscape at a lower altitude. Why not take in the towering cliffs from below as you top up your tan? The mountainous coastline is the backdrop to amazing beach days, on the dark sand of Los Gigantes Beach. Be sure to step foot on a black sand beach and tick this off your Tenerife to-do list! If you’ve never set eyes on one before, save this sight for a trip to El Bollullo Beach. This charming bay is home to rich volcanic sand, views of craggy cliffs and an air of tranquillity. It wouldn’t be fair if we touched upon Tenerife’s shores without mentioning the stretches of golden sand too. Los Cristianos oozes seaside charm and a relaxing vibe, while Playa de Las Teresitas offers plenty of space and even more of those mountain panoramas.

View Villas in Tenerife

If the thought of exploring lava fields has you bubbling beneath the surface, prepare to erupt with excitement at the Timanfaya National Park. This is your ticket to trekking across volcanic terrain! From towering red rock, to deep craters – the landscape here is out of this world. Your volcanic voyage of discovery continues at the Cueva de los Verdes. A lava tube that lights up visits for plenty of Lanzarote’s intrepid explorers. Once used as a hideout for locals taking refuge from invading pirates, you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon buried treasure in this underground gem. Marvel at the rock formations as you stroll through the maze-like tunnels. Be sure to visit the stunning lake that calls the caves home too.

Enjoy the natural beauty of Lanzarote from a different perspective at the Mirador del Rio viewpoint. Not for the feint-hearted, this is one for those with a head for heights. Almost 500m above sea level, the scenery here is breathtaking. Looking over the sparkling sea, across to the island of La Graciosa – you could spend hours here without even realising.

Staring out over the golden sand might have you itching to get to the beach. And as you’d expect from the Canary Islands, there’s a choice between light and dark sands. Papagayo Beach is a charming bay of golden sand, which you’ll find as inviting as it is idyllic. The towering cliffs shelter this cove from winds, offering perfect conditions for soaking up the sun. When it comes to beaches of black sand, it doesn’t get any better than El Golfo’s Charco de los Clicos. A captivating blend of red rocks, black sand and a marvellous green lagoon.

Eating in the Canaries

Simple, fresh ingredients are the key to Canarian cuisine. Dishes are influenced by a medley of African, European and American flavours – blending to make the mouth-watering meals we’ve come to know and love today. Serious eating starts from lunch onwards, evidently whoever said ‘Eat breakfast like a king’ never passed the message on to the Canarians. Renowned for seafood, treat yourself to at least one fish dish! The islands are very much catered towards meat eaters, with specialities including pork, rabbit and most notably, goat. Vegetarians and vegans will reap the benefits of a self-catering villa, as it’s not always easy to find suitable meals when out and about.

The most well-known of Canarian dishes is the infamous papas arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes). Served with mojo (a spicy sauce made with coriander and red chilli peppers), these potatoes are a menu highlight across the board. Mainland Spain concoctions pop up everywhere too, including paella and tortilla (omelette). The locals love to snack, so there’s always a street vendor or little café ready to satisfy your sweet tooth! While tapas isn’t a typical trait of the Canary Islands, it’s become more and more popular over the years. Bite-size offerings are beginning to crop up across the archipelago, but are easiest to find in bigger towns.

Shopping in the Canaries

The Canary Islands have a lot to offer when it comes to retail therapy. Whether you’re after mainstream malls or open air stalls – you’re sure to walk away with a bargain or two! Shop ’til you drop at Fuerteventura’s Atlantico Centre, and when you’re done treat the kids to a trip to the amusement arcade or ten-pin bowling. For a one-of-a-kind keepsake, take home a genuine print from Lanzarote’s resident artist, Ceaser manrique.

Weekly market and local handicrafts are a day out within themselves! Tenerife’s El Medano takes place every Saturday from 9am to 2pm on the beach in front of the main plaza. Make your way through aisles of fresh food produce (perfect for whipping up a treat at your holiday home from home), and beautiful handmade creations. Live music makes the experience feel extra authentic. For the best of both worlds, take a trip to the Triana shopping district in Las Palmas Old Town, Gran Canaria. Street artists and musicians meet bustle and tradition with this mix of market stalls and high-street stores.

Festivals and Fiestas

Just like Mainland Spain, the Canary Islands know how to throw a good party! Famous for their fiestas and celebrations, year-round festivals match the glorious year-round sunshine. In August alone there’s more than 50 events, so chances are your visit will coincide with at least something on the social calendar. It can be hard to keep up with what’s going on, so here’s some of our favourites! In November Fuerteventura hosts an International Kite Flying Festival, while February sees one of Europe’s biggest carnivals in the form of Santa Cruz de Tenerife! A show-stopping spectacle bursting with elaborate costumes and Latin American dance, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria also celebrate it.

We love Canary Island Holidays

Fallen for Fuerteventura? In love with Lanzarote? How about Tenerife or Gran Canaria? Whichever island has sparked your holiday excitement, it’s time to pick a villa that gives you an even greater buzz. Our villas in the Canary Islands are your home away from home – so you’re all taken care of.

Walking holidays in the Canaries,

perfect for autumn & winter

Given their benevolent year-round climate, you can go walking in the Canary Islands even in winter. But there’s more to the islands than their plentiful sunshine – there are deep ravines, volcanic craters, centuries-old forests, colourful rock formations, ancient lava flows… In the true spirit of a Slow holiday, break as often as you like to admire it all – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage to carry (we take care of that, along with providing route notes and ensuring the arrangements run like clockwork), so don’t rush…

The best walking in the Canary Islands

What makes walking holidays in the Canaries special is that each island has its own allure. On Tenerife it is the constant presence of El Teide; on El Hierro the chance to explore off the beaten track; on Lanzarote the colours in the scenery; on Gran Canaria the extraordinary scenic diversity; on Fuerteventura the unexpected yet epic biblical landscapes; and on La Gomera the feeling of discovering a well-kept secret. Whichever you choose, you will find walking in the Canaries a treat for the senses.

Grade 2

Moderate walking on varied terrain, with some long days and regular ascents / descents.

Grade 2-3

Walking holidays in the Canaries, Inntravel style

Comprehensive route notes

We take great pride in our route guides, updating them constantly so that you have the most current information and can enjoy the richest possible holiday experience. Walking at a pace that suits you, you can rely on them to steer you from A to B, and fill you in about places of interest and local culture along the way.

The advantage of independence

With Inntravel, unlike travelling with a group, you can stay in charming small hotels and set your own timetable each day. You’re also free to choose a start date that suits you, to extend your holiday if you wish, and to decide how to travel and from where – we’re happy to handle plane, ferry or train bookings for you.

Walking is our world

If you’re considering a walking holiday, we suggest speaking to the experts. That’s us.

Junior Camp in the Canary Islands

DAY 1

Welcome to the Canaries! South Tenerife will meet us with gentle sun and wonderful fresh air from the ocean! Only 30 minutes to the resort of Los Cristianos, and our heavenly adventures begin . .. A sandy beach with a warm sea, a cozy hotel, a lazy pool that you don’t want to get out of – isn’t it happiness? But we only have a couple of days for a relaxing holiday, because this island has prepared so many secrets and magical places for us!

DAY 2

We continue to rest! The charm of a coastal town, hearty Canarian cuisine, the smell of coniferous groves and the warm waves of the Atlantic – that’s the plan for today. Meet new friends, walk around the resort, enjoy the holidays!

DAY 3

And our adventure time begins! Today we are going to the north of the island, where several beautiful places and excellent photo locations are waiting for us. We will first visit the amazing Garachico, an ancient postcard town with a 16th century port and the monumental Roque de Garachico, home to the petrels. Further on our way, one of the most famous trees in the world is a thousand-year-old dragon tree in the place of Icod de los Vinos with red resin and a crown diameter of 20 meters! This tree is so huge that the people standing under it look like midgets. ..

But if this place does not surprise you, then after a delicious lunch (will you be paella or grilled seafood?), we will have a short hike (hikers proudly call it hiking) along the slopes of Chinyero volcano among relict firs and lava boulders. This place looks like the Martian craters where they decided to celebrate the New Year – you will like it!

DAY 4

After a busy day in the mountains, you need to take a dose of warm sea and southern sun again – because today is New Year’s Eve! We are waiting for a boat trip from the coast of Costa Adeje to sunbathe on board the boat, dive into the clearest waters of the lagoon and admire … whales! Yes, there are 21 species of marine animals in the local waters – from the usual dolphins to sperm whales and pilot whales. Don’t forget to charge your cameras for unique shots!

And in the afternoon we will have a New Year’s master class of Canarian cuisine – an amazing mixture of the gastronomic cultures of Spain, West Africa and South America. In these places, potatoes are boiled in their skins in sea water, flour is fried, raisins and almonds are added to sausages, and soup is made from seaweed. Very appetizing! Where else will you try such dishes for the New Year? And most importantly – all this is very satisfying and tasty!

DAY 5

We put on sneakers and our favorite backpack – we are waiting for the second mountain trip! Today we are discovering the secrets of the “mysterious triangle” of Anaga, a 5-million-year-old mountain range in the northeast of the island. Picturesque trails, ancient rainforests, huge palm trees against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks and Instagram shots at every turn – we bet you have never loved nature as much as today!

After lunch in a fishing village, we will have a well-deserved rest – swimming in a cozy bay with black beaches and a walk around the capital of the island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This is a small but cozy city where we will admire the pretty streets and magnificent old buildings, buy souvenirs and, full of impressions, go home along the coast at sunset…

DAY 6

Today is our relaxing day! You can stay to relax on the beloved beaches of Los Cristianos, or you can go to Siam Park – a Thai-style water park, which has confidently ranked 1st in the TripAdvisor rating of the best water parks in the world for the last 4 years! You know what a good water park looks like. Of course, there is a great selection of slides for every taste, a huge swimming pool, a “lazy river”, dancing, drive, a sea of positive and wonderful mood! There is even a heavenly artificial beach with a shallow bottom – for those who appreciate water parks for the opportunity to just fall off and not think about anything, enjoying the holidays …

DAY 7-8

Oh, we’ve been waiting for these two days and even a little worried. But we promise, it will be an unforgettable experience for everyone – and perhaps one of the brightest impressions in our lives! We are waiting for a 2-day expedition in the Teide National Park, at the largest volcano in the Canary Islands – its height is 3718 m, and the relative height above the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is 7500 m, and this is the highest peak in this ocean and the third highest volcano in the world. We will not climb to the very peak (it is cold there), but we will walk at an altitude of 2 km, enjoying the landscapes of overwhelming beauty. We will see all of Tenerife from a bird’s eye view, walk through the Martian landscapes of the volcano, touch the oldest lava boulders on the planet, drink water from mountain streams, walk under the clouds along the path of unreal power and atmosphere.

We will spend the night in a cozy campsite in the Teide National Park. Camping is not a tent! Even if you like tents, this option is much more comfortable, with full beds, electricity and heating. But who goes to bed right away? Another highlight of the route is waiting for us – astrotour, and in Russian, watching the stars, watching a billion stars from the slopes of the volcano …. And yes, our 2-day road will not be difficult – we came to relax and enjoy the scenery (but sneakers are required). We will return to the hotel after lunch on the second day, and have a real beach party, with dancing and favorite songs!

DAY 9

The motto of today is to have a leisurely rest in beautiful places! Today we have the final trip around the island – a fascinating trip to the west, to the famous cliffs of Los Gigantes with the town of the same name and a cozy bay for swimming. We also swim in a natural lava pool with crystal clear water, which the locals call “Crab Island”.

And 300 meters from the pool there is a picturesque cave where, according to legend, Spanish pirates left their treasures until the 20th century. Maybe we can find some doubloons covered in sea foam?

DAY 10-12

These 3 days we will have a surf course at the nearby Las Americas beach! Here is the popular El Medio spot for beginner surfers. The wide coastline, shallow bottom and low stable wave are the best conditions to get on the board on the first day! We will learn the basic skills of surfing, catch our first wave, take a lot of photos for memory (“this is me surfing at the Junior Camp in the Canary Islands”) and get a lot of fresh emotions and a great mood! And believe me, if you like it – you will not forget about surfing and will look for any opportunity to get on the board in the future …

By the way, surfing usually lasts a couple of hours in the morning, and after that we have a whole day of entertainment – the sea, the pool, walks around the city, shopping and chatting with new friends (and we will have a lot to discuss after such a busy program in Tenerife)! And it will be three wonderful days of relaxation, sea, sun, ice cream and new purchases.

DAY 13

The final day of our winter camp in the Canaries. Let’s look at ourselves in the mirror – who are we now? We are mountain travelers, volcano explorers, astronomers, cooks, photographers and surfers. Rested, happy, grown up. With full bags of impressions, we return home to our homeland! Hello 2021!

What will happen next? The motto of the camp is looking at us from the backpack – Be Happy, Be Junior.
And this is what we will continue to do. Be happy and young!

*Traditional but important information. The organizers reserve the right to change the camp program due to circumstances beyond their control (weather conditions, changes in the schedule of national parks). Excursions and activities can, in this case, be changed to similar ones, without losing the quality of the program.

Canary Islands – InoTV Tags

September 2022

Even on Catholic Christmas, the Canary Islands were declared by the German authorities a zone of high risk of infection with coronavirus. Nevertheless, a group of Spanish islands remains a popular summer destination for German tourists, notes the tabloid Bild. This New Year’s holiday, local beaches are full of people, and social distancing is not observed there, despite the high incidence.

January 4, 2022 Bild

Tourist-friendly Canary Islands are starting to welcome their first foreign visitors again without being required to undergo coronavirus tests or quarantine. To ensure safety at the resorts, sanitary measures are strictly enforced in hotels and public areas – including the mandatory wearing of masks, temperature control and social distancing for everyone. And tourists support new standards, reports Euronews.

July 16, 2020 Euronews

Today we turn our attention to the case of the Arctic Sea: the story of a ship that first disappeared and then reappeared. Mysterious cargo, pirates, Russia. Real detective. Reporting by Jean-Luc Egozier.

September 19, 2009 TV5 Monde

We have received new details about the cargo ship, which was considered missing in the Atlantic Ocean for two weeks and was found later. We are talking about the Arctic Sea.

September 14, 2009 CNN

Due to the ongoing volcanic eruption on the Spanish island of La Palma, local authorities have introduced a quarantine that applies to residents of coastal towns and villages, writes Der Spiegel. The reason for the introduction of quarantine is the dangerous fumes that occur when lava comes into contact with the sea.

November 23, 2021 Der Spiegel

The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands has been going on for three weeks, according to Welt. He destroyed more than a thousand buildings, and more than 6 thousand people were forced to leave their homes. Every hour it becomes more aggressive, and, as experts predict, it will remain active for several more months.

October 10, 2021 Welt (TV)

A volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands that began last weekend is still not over, according to Die Welt. The lava flow has already destroyed a thousand residential buildings and continues to expand: no one can say for sure when the cataclysm will finally end.

October 6, 2021 Welt (TV)

Hot volcanic lava flows on the island of Palma reached the coast, where, in contact with salt water, columns of toxic vapor dangerous to humans were formed. Earlier, the authorities advised the inhabitants of part of the island not to leave their homes, because during the previous eruption 50 years ago, one person died, poisoned by fumes, reports Euronews.

September 29, 2021 Euronews

The Canary Island of Palma is shrouded in a huge cloud of volcanic ash. Residents are urged to wear protective masks, goggles and long clothing to keep it from getting on the body. In addition to ash, about 25 thousand tons of sulfur dioxide are ejected from the crater every day. Lava flows are already approaching the ocean – and experts fear that its entry into salt water could lead to the release of toxic gases, reports Euronews.

September 27, 2021 Euronews

In less than a week since the start of the volcanic eruption on the island of Palma, lava flows have wiped out almost 400 houses, according to France 2. Many airlines have postponed flights due to thick ash clouds with sulfur dioxide emissions: one of them reached the south of France, however, according to experts, does not pose a danger to people and the environment.

25 September 2021 France 2

The 90,002 migrants brought daily by rescue boats to the Canary Islands are growing in number, and the local authorities are unsuccessfully trying to solve the problem of their accommodation. As a temporary solution, some are being sent to hotels on the islands, which already house more than 4,000 refugees. However, about 2 thousand more are still in the port, and their number is constantly growing, Euronews reports.

In autumn, Spain becomes especially beautiful. It is during this period that the velvet season begins, which lasts for all three autumn months. Mild weather and the absence of regular rains allow visitors to plunge into the calm, peaceful life of the country, away from the hustle and bustle and abundance of tourists. Our travel agency of the retail network PEGAS Touristik WTC LLC will offer you options for a beach holiday, where you can extend the summer, and also present an extensive excursion program.

Autumn weather conditions

In September, hot weather prevails in Spain, but the summer heat begins to recede, creating a mild climate. The Mediterranean coast still meets beach lovers, where travel agencies are actively invited. Particularly attractive as a sunny resort is the island of Costa del Sol, where the air temperature in early autumn reaches 27 degrees Celsius.

The air temperature in the northern part of the country is somewhat reduced, leaving room for educational walks around the city. During this period, sightseeing holidays are especially valuable, which include tours to Spain for the autumn holidays of 2022. Arriving here in the fall, do not forget to visit the famous Barcelona Carnival, where hundreds of colorful national events await you, as well as the most beautiful flamenco festival in Seville.

At the end of September, the people of Barcelona celebrate farewell to summer, this pagan holiday lasts for a whole week. Dressed up puppet giants on stilts parade on the streets of the city these days, and the locals dance the Spanish folk dance – the sardane. Tourists come here every year to witness the grandiose correfok fire show.

Autumn is the time of holidays and festivals

October 11 in Barcelona you will witness the Day of the Spanish Nation, combined with the feast in honor of the Virgin Pilar. Going on tours to Spain for the autumn holidays of 2022, do not miss such a great event. On this day, the Spaniards arrange wide festivities, processions of giant dolls, sing national songs and attract tourists to incendiary hot rhythms.

Visiting Sitges on the Costa Dorada in October, you can get to the international film festival of fantasy and horror, which is recommended by tours to Spain for the autumn holidays of 2022. World cinema stars come here every year. In addition to events dedicated to cinema, an unusual procession called the Zombie Walk is traditionally organized here. Terrifying, make-up zombies roam the streets of Sitges and scare passers-by with their scars and costumes.

In the city of Lugo in October, tourists are waiting for a major Galician feast in honor of St. Froilan. For nine days, national celebrations are held here, the townspeople dress up in national costumes, Galician songs are heard in all corners of the city. Local residents participate in the parade of horses, puppet puppet competition, compete in chess.

Visa-free exit from the Canary Islands. The procedure for leaving the insular Spanish territories requires a separate story. Over the past week, we left the Canary Islands and reached Morocco. The port of exit was Arrecife on the island of Lanzarote. The captain of “Lady Mary” came to the “Frontier Police” with a crew list and passports. The official carefully studied the paper and confirmed his consent with a stamp. Then he prepared to stamp our passports. – And you don’t need a passport, –Read more…

Well, we just arrived in a dinghy with our own hose and canisters to the pontoon. There was no time to look for an office and all that. It was, of course, a circus.

Fall travel to Spain’s Canary Islands is currently available for a discounted price. Iberia, Air Europa and American Airlines all have sale fares available in this deal to Tenerife for less than $500 round-trip. Departures are from many of the usual big-city suspects, such as Chicago, New York and Miami. What sets this deal apart is that it also lets Midwestern cities such as Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit and Indianapolis in on the fun.

These are basic economy tickets. If you absolutely need to check luggage, it will cost you $75 each way on Iberia.

One other thing: The routes below are to Tenerife Norte Airport (TFN). If you want to visit one of the other islands, such as Gran Canaria or Lanzarote, booking a flight from Tenerife will cost you between $100 and $150 extra. In most cases, for about the same price you can book these itineraries as open jaws, which let you fly into one airport and fly home from another.

These prices are available for travel in November, and Thanksgiving is included for some routes. There is also some availability between January and March 2023.

Our thanks to the folks at Scott’s Cheap Flights for first spotting this deal. Its Premium membership is available for $49 per year, while the Elite option is available for $199 per year. The latter offers access to deals on premium economy, business- and first-class tickets.

As always, be as flexible with your travel plans as possible, as it’ll typically help you find better prices.

Deal basics

Airlines: Air Europa, American and Iberia.
Routes: Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Miami, New York, Washington, D.C., and other cities to Tenerife.
How to book: Search Google Flights and book directly with the airline.
Travel dates: Most availability in November, including Thanksgiving; some routes available between January and March 2023.

Sample flights

We’ll start with an excellent deal out of Boston. You can fly economy on Iberia from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to TFN in November for just $486 round-trip.

(Screenshot from Google Flights)

If you live in the tri-state area, you can fly out of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Tenerife in November on American for $518 round-trip. Keep in mind this route involves two stops, in Chicago and Madrid.

(Screenshot from Google Flights)

If you want to avoid having two layovers, you can fly out of New York City. Iberia has flights in November from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Tenerife for $504 round-trip (with a layover in Madrid each way).

(Screenshot from Google Flights)

Iberia has flights from Detroit at a nice price, too. This itinerary in February costs just $617 round-trip. A couple of caveats: There are two stops, in Chicago and Madrid. Also, a checked bag for a basic economy ticket will cost $150. However, if you upgrade to the main cabin for $150, you get a free checked bag.

(Screenshot from Google Flights)

Here’s a great price on a flight from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) to Tenerife for $617 round-trip. Again, if you need to check a bag, upgrading to the main cabin is the way to go.

Airports on the Canary Islands

Spending holidays on the Canary Islands is always a great idea. The island group west of Africa offers great weather conditions all year long and its volcanic origin makes for an impressive atmosphere you won´t find elsewhere. While they are geographically part of Africa, the Canary Islands are old colonial remains from a time where the Spanish crown ruled on the seas between Europe and America. The close ties between those islands and Spain survived all the political woes of Europe, such as the rise and fall of Great Britain as the world´s leading empire, the Napoleonic wars and the two world’s wars of last century.

Since more than 500 years, those islands belong to Spain and today they are one of the 17 autonomous regions of the Mediterranean country. Together with Madeira, a close island which belongs to Portugal, they are also the southernmost outposts of the European Union.

Being islands of volcanic origin, the terrain there is quite mountainous. This, in combination with perfect climatic conditions, makes them a fantastic touristic spot for all kind of travelers. Beach-bums feel as happy there as do nature lovers that travel to the Canary Islands to explore an impressive flora, fauna, and volcanic heights. You can go there during winter when day temperatures are around 20°C to flee the cold of your home-country or go there in summer to enjoy the perfect beach holidays. Even in July and August it does not get too hot with around 30°C and nights are gently and cozy still.

Reaching the Canary Islands is easy from many European cities thanks to the various airports there: Las Palmas Airport (LPA) Fuerteventura Airport (FAE), Lanzarote Airport (ACE), Tenerife South Airport (TFS) and Tenerife North Airport (TFN) are all well connected. (With the exception of La Gomera and El Hierro which have airports that only offer “local” flights to and from the other islands)

Thanks to the huge expansion of low-budget airlines, getting to the Canary Islands has become quite economic when compared to just 10-15 years ago. Many carriers such as Thomas Cook (MT), Condor (DE), TUIfly (X3), Niki (HG), Eurowings (EW), easyJet (EZY), Vueling (VY), Air Berlin (AB) or Ryanair (FR) offer direct connections from many European cities.

Winter and Spring on the Canary Islands

As mentioned above, winters are very mild on the Canary Islands. This makes them the perfect travel location to flee your winter depression or just to celebrate a different kind of Xmas or New Year´s eve – on the beach. Even in January, they are suitable for beach holidays as water temperatures usually don´t fall below 18°C and the sun is strong enough to warm you up again after a refreshing jump into the water. January and February are the coldest months with Temperatures around 21°C during daytime and 14°C in the night. Between March and May, they rise to about 23°C (day) and 17°C (night). Rainfalls are rare even in winter with about six days per month. Within May this average number goes down to below zero.

While the sun is great in the Canary Islands during winter, you can go even skiing there on Tenerife. The 3718 meters high Pico del Teide is even the highest mountain of Spain. Getting there to play in the snow early in the mornings to end your day chilling in the sun on the beach is a unique experience you won´t find in many places on the globe.

Spring is great for Nature-lovers that find overwhelming vegetation with plants they´ve never seen before and juicy exotic fruits like Mangos or Bananas. Thanks to the high mountainous landscape the Canary Islands offer basically all climate zones which makes them great for exciting hiking trips.

Summer and Fall – The Sunny Side of Life

Like in other destinations, July and August are the months that attract most visitors. However, different to summer destinations in the south of Spain, Greece or Italy – heat is limited on the Canary Islands. Temperatures rarely rise higher than 32°C and nights are bearable with a warm and comfortable summer breeze. In contrast to that, the sun has a lot of strength and good skin protection when spending your time on the beach is a must.

For many late summer and early fall is the best time to visit the Canary Islands as then tourism calms down a bit and the weather is still perfect. Also, water temperatures stay around 22°C-23°C until October which is substantially higher to those you find in spring – in spite of similar weather conditions. Flights are also cheapest then before they start to rise again strongly in the winter season.

In general – as a rule of thumb – coming to the Canary Islands in spring is best when you plan to explore its fascinating nature by hiking and trips to the mountains, and getting there in late summer and fall is the best time for beach-lovers. But in general, seasons are not so different in this place and you can just look out for the best travel time and deal when planning your trip there.

Twenty flights have been affected by the storm in the Canary Islands –

1/18/22, 8:37 AM

By Canarian Weekly

Business

During yesterdays storm in the Canary Islands, 20 domestic, national, and international flights have been affected arriving to or departing from the archipelago, mainly due to poor visibility or high winds.

Eleven flights had to be diverted to Tenerife South from the North airport, coming from Madrid, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, and six flights due to depart the Los Rodeos airport in the north of Tenerife were initially delayed, then cancelled.

Also, a local flight from Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura had to be cancelled, and another coming from Frankfurt was unable to land in Fuerteventura due to high winds and was diverted to Gran Canaria.

There were also two flights from Leeds and Manchester destined for Lanzarote that were diverted to Gran Canaria, as the island was affected by high winds and an electrical storm.

The outlook for Tuesday is much better as this morning only rains and moderate winds are forecast before a light haze this afternoon which shouldn’t affect air travel. Airlines advise you to check the status of your flight before travelling in case of any delays.

Hotel Bron on Tenerife 90,000 Tenerife how much to fly from Moscow
If you want your own vacation on Canary Islands, then you need to fly in Tenerifa that you need it. . This island is called the “island of eternal spring”, because regardless of the weather conditions prevailing outside your window, Tenerife is always warm and comfortable.

The island of “eternal spring” will meet you with charming landscapes and comfortable climate.

You can only get to this island by plane, but it’s up to you which way to choose. There are two main options for how to fly to Tenerife from Moscow: by plane on a charter flight or a regular flight, but with one or two transfers in certain European cities.

Fascinating beauty of Tenerife at night.

How to fly from Moscow to Tenerife?

Which method of flight to choose depends solely on your desire, on the available free time and, of course, on the funds that you have at your disposal. It is only worth noting that if you decide to fly on a charter flight, then you can save on time, but if you want to fly with minimal cash costs, regardless of the time, then a regular flight with transfers will certainly suit you. It is also important to take into account that there are no regular connections between Russia and the Canary Islands, therefore, when going to Tenerife, you will have to choose the route that is currently available.

Plan your itinerary and flight options in advance. Your trip depends solely on your choice and your capabilities.

Choosing the right flight is the key to a successful trip.

Charter flight to Tenerife

This flight option is considered the most convenient and fastest, but in order to get on a charter flight, you need to book tickets much earlier than the scheduled departure from a travel operator. The distance that you have to overcome is not small, about 5.5 thousand kilometers. Despite this, it is possible to overcome such a flight on a charter flight in seven hours. But there is one drawback: the cost of a charter flight from Moscow to Tenerife is quite high.

Comfort and coziness – this is what will provide you with a charter flight.

With a charter flight you will fly such a long journey in a matter of hours.

One-stop flight to Tenerife

Such a flight means that on the way you will need to stop in some European city and from there go to the desired island. There can be many options for a flight with a transfer, but if you do not want to spend a lot of extra time in another country, then it is better to take a ticket to Madrid or Barcelona. In addition to the fact that getting to the Spanish islands from these cities will be simple, fast and inexpensive, in this case it is also possible to use the services of low-cost aviation companies.

The girl is waiting for her plane to transfer.

For example, your flight from Moscow to Madrid will take about five hours, and to Tenerife – three hours, plus an hour and a half between flights. Thus, in total, it will take you about ten hours to reach the island and enjoy a long-awaited and wonderful holiday. This option is the most convenient after a charter flight, since the time spent on the flight does not differ much.

A ticket to Madrid or Barcelona will help you make your connecting flight in the most time-saving way.

You can also fly via Berlin. But in this case, you will have to sacrifice free time, since in Berlin itself you will have to spend a large amount of time, about 16 hours. You can go to the Canary Islands through Düsseldorf, stopping there for a transfer. You will spend about nine and a half hours on the plane, but the wait between flights will be approximately 14 hours. It is possible to make transfers in cities such as Rome, Hensilki, Amsterdam and Munich.

Pay attention to how much free time you will have to sacrifice waiting for the next flight when transferring.

Two-stop flight to Tenerife

The two-stop flight is quite relevant today, because the total time spent on the road is much less than if you fly separately via Düsseldorf or Berlin. And so, the first flight option can be carried out through these two cities, only it will be necessary to depart from both Berlin and Dusseldorf. From Moscow, you have to fly to Berlin for about two and a half hours, after which you have to wait an hour and a half at the airport until the next flight. It will take about an hour to fly to Dusseldorf, and at the airport to wait for the next flight for about two hours. The flight to Tenerife itself will take approximately five hours and in general it will take you less than 12 hours for the whole journey.

Berlin Airport will be the first to meet you.

At Düsseldorf Airport you will be able to make the last change on the way to the “island of eternal spring”.

Whichever way you choose to fly, make it easy, fast and a great start to your next holiday in the beautiful Canary Islands.

The plane is already approaching the long-awaited resort. View from the window on the wonderful landscape of Tenerife.

Extreme Sports in the Canary Islands – Interesting about Spain

When we talk about the Canary Islands, we think of golden sandy beaches and tropical fruits, ancient mountains and ancient forests and, of course, the hospitality of the Spaniards. However, we rarely think about the fact that these places are also great for extreme recreation: athletes from all over the world come here to test themselves. Most importantly, even beginners do not need a lot of expenses, since all the necessary equipment can be rented on the islands. Experienced instructors will always teach and help in any situation. Not a single sightseeing tour of the island can reveal the beauty of the islands that the serene and deep sky of the Canaries will reveal to you.

HANG Gliding

Perhaps the best place for hang gliding in all of Europe is the Canary archipelago, and to be more precise, its northernmost island – Lanzarote. True connoisseurs should visit it in winter: the summer trade winds from the Sahara leave, and the air becomes crystal clear, and the winds are light and predictable. Under such weather conditions, everyone will be able to freely glide through the sky without any extra effort, enjoying the breathtaking views of the island. It is in winter that most of the take-off platforms open here, such as, for example, the Famara cliff, where air currents allow the pilot to soar along the mountain range right up to the famous Mirador del Rio observation deck, founded by the famous artist Cesar Manrique . By the way, Cesar Manrique, who was born and worked in Lanzarote, considered this place the most beautiful in the entire Canary archipelago.

The island’s airstrips are suitable for both amateurs and professionals who come from all over the world to fly freely over one of the most picturesque corners of our planet. How did Lanserote deserve such popularity among hang gliders? The fact is that a chain of mountain ranges stretching from north to south, as well as numerous natural platforms for launching hang gliders from the mountains create unique conditions that are not found anywhere else in Europe. Pleasant winter weather and even better prices make Lanzarote a true paradise for all hang gliding enthusiasts.

PARAGLIDER

A paraglider is a kind of parachute, which glides due to oncoming air currents, and is relatively easy to use. However, it is very dependent on the weather, and often it is unstable weather conditions that can spoil the rest of an unlucky paraglider. But don’t let that scare you, because on the island of La Palma the flying season lasts 300 days a year, and the ideal weather conditions are from September to May. That is why the island is considered to be the best place for paragliding in Western Europe. If you still decide to catch a fair wind and fly over this beautiful island, then you should definitely visit the site on Punta Llana, taking off from which you will make your way through the air over the yellow-green sea of banana trees. The Puerto Naos site is suitable for beginners, as it is one of the easiest and most accessible take-off points in the Canary Islands.

For those who have never flown a paraglider but want to try their hand at the sport, there is a specialized flying school in the same town of Puerto Naos. She has a number of quality certificates from Spain, Germany and Switzerland, and is waiting for everyone who wants to discover the wonderful world of fabulous landscapes and free flights.

If La Palma seems too far away for you, don’t worry. There are many more sites on the islands that are suitable for paragliders of any level. It is worth noting the site on the island of La Gomera in Hermigua (Hermigua), which is considered the most visited and most beautiful point for paragliding in the entire archipelago. Jumping from the Taucho platform in Tenerife will make even the most experienced jumpers sweat. And if you do not want to tie yourself to any particular place, then again you should not be upset: in the Canary Islands there are 41 take-off sites, 5 professional and 4 amateur clubs.

OTHER WAYS TO CONQUER THE SKY

If you want to fully combine beach and outdoor activities without leaving the most popular tourist spots, then you should head to Gran Canaria. In addition to traditional paragliding, here you will be offered more extreme and unusual ways of recreation. The first is skydiving. You can find skydiving centers in the town of La Matula in the north of the island, and near the town of Tarajalillo in the south. The uniqueness of skydiving in the Canary Islands lies in the fact that the entire flight the aircraft door will be open and you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the island directly from the aircraft, after which you will make an unforgettable jump and land on one of the beaches of the famous resort of Maspalomas.

By the way, it is in Maspalomas that you can try out one of the most unusual flying devices – paragliding. It is a paraglider, to which a motorized cart is attached, allowing you to soar into the sky without any effort and enjoy the feeling of free flight. For a small fee, you can get a video of your flight so you can relive those wonderful moments over and over again!

CONQUERING MOUNTAIN PEAKS

Only mountains can be better than mountains. And there is nothing better than the Canary Mountains! Especially when it comes to rock climbing and mountaineering. The island of Tenerife is an ideal place for lovers of rock climbing. It provides the best conditions for this sport among all the other islands. It consists entirely of basalt rocks, which are full of small inclusions and holes through which it is possible to climb to great heights. Climbing the Guaria Ridge, located in the Montaña de Tejina Nature Reserve, will be a real event in the life of wildlife lovers. Their path will completely pass in a nature reserve, where almost no human has set foot. If you want to challenge yourself, then the longest, most traditional climbing routes in Tenerife are located in the northeastern part of the island, among the steep mountains and deep gorges of the Rural Anaga Park (Anaga). Tenerife is also the main place for climbers to climb, since the island has the highest point in Spain – the Teide volcano (3718m). For active tourists on the island there are many specially equipped sites from which you can start your hard journey to the top of the ancient volcano.

In Gran Canaria you will find 14 specially equipped pitches. A must-see on the island is the Ayacata site, which is the most versatile and suitable for climbers of all levels. In addition, when climbing, a magnificent view of the natural monument of Roque Nublo, the symbol of Gran Canaria, opens up. If you decide to conquer the highest point of the island – the Pico de las Nieves volcano, then your ascent to the top will be almost two times shorter than in Tenerife, but no less beautiful.

Bouldering is also developed on the islands – climbing small but extremely difficult routes, which is suitable for those who have never climbed and do not want to take risks.

For fans of extreme rock climbing in Gran Canaria, there is an opportunity to climb up the sheer cliffs above the raging Atlantic Ocean. The activity is not for the faint of heart! In any case, no matter what way you choose to conquer the mountain peaks, you will get a lot of impressions and positive emotions.

A CHALLENGE FOR YOURSELF

The real challenge in the Canary Islands is a real challenge – many places ideal for bungee jumping (rope jumping). There are many rocks on the island from which you can comfortably, and most importantly, safely make jumps of any length and difficulty. A long climb to the jumping platform will brighten up the picturesque surroundings of the islands. Beginners should visit El Horno on the island of Gran Canaria, as the free jump from there is considered the easiest, but at the same time it is a whopping 80 meters! In comparison, the longest jump in Gran Canaria can be made from the El Berriel point, and a free jump from there is 90 meters, which is the most by 10 meters. But this site is suitable only for the most persistent extreme sportsmen. To get to it, you have to climb steep cliffs for an hour, and only then make a jump. Those who prefer to “jump” not over stones and rocks, but over something more peaceful, should visit the Pal Mar site in the south of Tenerife. More than 40 meters of free flight will end for you not by hanging in the air, but by landing in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, since this site is located right on the rocky ledges above the water. Although, whichever option you choose, you will get a pure adrenaline rush that will energize you for the whole year ahead!

Navalny’s flight to the Canary Islands from Germany was assessed by the German police

Alexei Navalny, while undergoing treatment in Germany, as it turned out, did not set a penny on the security provided to him by the authorities. On New Year’s Eve, while supporters were worried about his fate, he, without warning the German police, fled for 8 days to the Canary Islands. Such a story about the trip was broadcast by Vladimir Solovyov as the result of an “investigation”. One could smile understandingly, but we found confirmation of the fact of a voyage to the islands, which was hushed up in Russia, from the “other side” – from the Germans.

Speaking on the air at Solovyov’s “investigator” (as Yandex writes – a publicist, journalist, and specialist in alternative medicine and psychotherapy), Alexander Sosnovsky said that Navalny flew to the Canary Islands on December 28. And this is confirmed by studying his instagram.

The oppositionist did this immediately after editing the film, and during the voyage he allegedly met with his “curators” in the Canary Islands in order to “show them this film, receive further instructions and receive guarantees for himself about his immunity in case of return to Russia. He received it, these guarantees were given to him. He returned to Germany, but here something went wrong.”

Then a conspiracy conclusion was made that Germany, they say, was used in the dark (most likely Britain and the USA) and the Germans, when they realized this, were offended and kicked Navalny to his homeland. Although true, it is difficult to argue with the fact that the departure of the opposition leader from Germany was like deportation. They didn’t give a speech to the press before departure, the police brought your passport to the border – all this said: we will do everything possible to ensure that you fly away.

Surprisingly, but confirmation of the very fact of the voyage to the Canary Islands was found. It turned out that the German weekly Focus wrote about this on January 23. He, along with the magazines Der Spiegel and Stern, is one of the three best-selling information and political weekly magazines in Germany, is considered a liberal-conservative magazine, focused on the middle class of German society. The note “Krach mit den Leibwächtern” (“Bodyguard Scandal”) is actually small, inconspicuous, even without an illustration.

It begins with the fact that the local police (Landeskriminalamt – this can even be understood as a criminal investigation department) breathed a sigh of relief when Navalny went to Moscow. Since “the enemy of the Kremlin, who was treated in August 2020 after being poisoned at the Berlin Charite and rested in the Black Forest, has repeatedly violated police protection measures in recent weeks.”

According to Focus, “to the dismay of his bodyguards, on December 28, Navalny went to Stuttgart airport and from there went on an eight-day short vacation to Gran Canaria.” At the same time, the Spanish police, who were urgently contacted by their German colleagues, were unable to “offer a protection program for a vulnerable dissident.” The article cites the words of Navalny’s German guards: “The trip to the Canary Islands was crazy. Thousands of Russians stay on the island throughout the year, including, of course, those who do not like Navalny at all. ”

That is, the very fact of the trip is confirmed. The only problem with her is the plane, since there are no regular direct flights from Stuttgart (the “investigation” claimed that Navalny flew on a private charter). Still need a Schengen visa and a negative test for coronavirus. So why not fly off to have a rest, given that his term in Russia was already a foregone conclusion.

As for the threats to life, Navalny, judging by his act, did not see them, unlike the German police. And either he really held the Germans for pawns in a certain game, not considering it necessary to inform them of his movements, or simply by virtue of his character he did not give a damn about people who showed hospitality and concern for his safety. Well, now there is a version of where Navalny’s status “prone to escape” came from – the Germans snitched on their Russian colleagues out of resentment.

The head of the Union of Estonian Travel Agencies Tiit Pruuli does not want to touch on the topic of relations between Estonia and Latvia, but adds that it is not only about the medical aspects of the issue of restrictions.

Taavi Aas, on the other hand, believes that Riga Airport is the largest air harbor of all the Baltic countries, including for Estonian residents, so it is worth adhering to a single policy.

Travel is discouraged

Travel companies are also outraged that the government and the Department of Health have gone to great lengths to denigrate travel. Many agreed with the government’s call that at the moment, one should not travel to another country unless absolutely necessary. At the same time, the level of infection among those who arrived from trips is several times lower than among people who did not leave the country’s borders.

“It is smart to stay in Estonia. This disease did not originate in Estonia, but was imported from somewhere. We all know what happened in the spring. The travel numbers are small because there is not enough travel,” says Aas. In his opinion, the more travel allowed, the higher the incidence rates will be.

The government has imposed a ban on direct flights to Egypt and Turkey, as it questions the number of patients in these countries. There is even an opinion that tests are not carried out in Egypt. According to Aas, no one knows exactly how many cases there are. “It’s the same story in Turkey. With third countries, this is basically the problem,” says Aas.
Despite the fact that many European tourist areas are now open, Taavi Aas emphasizes that he and the Health Board do not recommend traveling, especially during school holidays. “Unfortunately, this is the situation.”

Tenerife South Airport is located about 60 kilometers from the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and 20 kilometers from the resort of Playa de Las Americas. The fastest way to get from the airport to your resort is by taxi (30-50 EUR depending on the distance). Also in Tenerife, public transport is well developed.

the best markets in Lanzarote

Visiting markets is a different way to discover a tourist destination, as it gives us an authentic experience and helps us, to a certain extent, understand some of its customs. What’s more, it’s a great way to support local businesses, helping the farmers that work the land as well as artisans from the region. By visiting one of the markets in this article, you’ll also be able to find that souvenir from Lanzarote that you want to give to a loved one or take home to remind you of your stay on this beautiful island.

The best markets in Lanzarote
As you would expect, the most important markets on the island, in terms of size and number of visitors, are held on weekends. The following two markets are the largest on the island:

Arrecife Market. The Arrecife Tourist and Craft Market takes place in Lanzarote’s capital every Saturday morning between 9 AM and 2 PM on Plaza de las Palmeras in the city centre. Said plaza, also known as Plaza de San Ginés—as it is home to the homonymous parish—is the heart of the market, although it also spreads out along neighbouring streets. The market is organised in the following manner: food stalls are concentrated on Plaza de las Palmeras, selling vegetables, bread, artisan cakes, wine, cheese and jams, among other produce, whilst other stalls—cosmetics, crafts, decorative items and clothes—can be found on the streets surrounding the plaza. The main advantage of the Arrecife Market is that it is held in the capital, in an area full of bars with outdoor seating, so you can round off a morning of shopping with a beer or soft drink at some of the eateries. Likewise, it’s worth exploring the surrounding area to discover neighbouring tourist attractions, such as the emblematic San Ginés Lagoon, the Las Bolas bridge and the castle of San Gabriel.

Canary cheese in Teguise market

Teguise Market. Rivalling that of Arrecife is this Sunday market, which takes place in the old town of Teguise and is considered one of the most important in the archipelago. This is mainly due to the number of visitors that congregate every Sunday and the variety of products that it offers. In fact, the small town of Teguise, which is a peaceful haven during the week, completely transforms on Sunday mornings, hosting around 400 stalls and numerous shoppers in search of bargains. The main difference between this market and others in Lanzarote is that here you can find works of art, as many Lanzarote artists have set up their workshops in the area. As a result, you can buy ceramics, baskets made by local artisans and ocarinas—interesting wind instruments similar to a whistle. Naturally, you will also find stalls selling traditional Lanzarote food. The market also usually livens up thanks to live performances by local folk bands, making it a perfect place to enjoy traditional song and dance.

Other weekend markets:
Saturdays:

Haría Artisan Market. The market was declared a Tourist Attraction in the Leisure and Events category in 2004 by the Lanzarote Tourist Board. It is held on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM on Plaza León y Castillo, and is particularly notable for the quality of the crafts, both traditional and modern, that are sold at its stands.

Tías Market. The town of Tías is 15 minutes away from Arrecife by car. The market has a wide range of farmers’ produce on offer and is open from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Marina Rubicón Market. Also held on Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM it is noteworthy for its setting next to the port and for the variety of shops and restaurants in its surrounding area.

Uga Market. Held on both Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. A great thing to do before is to visit the La Geria vineyards—which are just five minutes away by car—to help you grasp the system implemented by local people to produce wine on land with less than favourable conditions. Later on at the market you can buy a bottle to enjoy at home once you have returned from your holidays.

Sundays:

Tinajo Famers’ Market (Mancha Blanca). This town surrounded by volcanoes has held a farmers’ market since 2006. Visitors can buy farm produce as well as fish and confectionary. However, it is also notable for organising interesting activities linked to the primary sector—a great option for learning about the production methods of farmers and cattle breeders in Lanzarote. For example, demonstrations are given on millet toasting, grape treading for the production of wine and how to prepare gofio, a traditional Canarian flour made from roasted grains. It takes place every Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Calle Virgen de los Dolores.

San Bartolomé Farmers’ and Handicraft Market. By car, the town of San Bartolomé is just over ten minutes away from Arrecife and five minutes from the Casa Museo del Campesino, a place that is more than worth the visit. The market takes place on Plaza de León y Castillo, next to the church of San Bartolomé, and shoppers will find farm produce, cake and crafts. What’s more, it is a perfect option if travelling with kids, as it also boasts workshops for infants related to Canarian games and traditions, among other themes.

As you can see, we weren’t exaggerating when we said that there are markets for all tastes in Lanzarote. Choose one and shop like a local at Lanzarote’s local markets!

When, Where and What to Buy

Teguise market on Sundays is the largest market in Lanzarote

Most of the towns and resorts in Lanzarote have a weekly market going on, so if you want to do some shopping while on holiday, you can spend a few hours browsing through the stalls.

A list of Lanzarote Markets

Sunday Market in TEGUISE

Wednesday market in ARRECIFE

Wednesday and Saturday market in PLAYA BLANCA

Friday market in COSTA TEGUISE

Friday market in PUERTO DEL CARMEN

Saturday Market in HARIA

Saturday and Sunday Market in UGA

Sunday Market in MANCHA BLANCA

If you want to get some souvenirs to take back home, a visit to one of these markets might be a good idea, but remember to negotiate the price (especially when buying magnets or other types of trinkets which are usually shipped from China).

We always recommend buying something authentic from local artisans and support the local economy (unfortunately there are many stalls selling fake brand stuff at these markets).

A list of Lanzarote Markets

Besides the popular Teguise market, which everyone has heard about probably, there are several other markets all over the island, throughout every resort or town, happening on different days of the week.

Sunday Market in TEGUISE

Hours: from 9:00 to 14:00

Details about Teguise Market

The market in Teguise is the largest one of its kind in Lanzarote and maybe in all of the Canary Islands.

Here you’ll find everything from handmade souvenirs, fake bags and watches, food stalls, clothes and so much more. The entire town of Teguise is transformed on Sunday and the streets get filled with merchants of all kinds. Beware of pickpockets, as it can get very crowded and always haggle when trying to buy something, as prices are usually inflated.

You can take a break and get breakfast or a coffee at one of the local cafes, as we advise you to arrive as early as possible, in order to avoid the larger crowds and also have a better chance of getting a parking space as close as possible to the market.

Wednesday market in ARRECIFE

Hours: from 9:00 to 14:00

This market is held in a beautiful location, right on the beach promenade. Some of the sellers that come here are the same ones that come to Teguise, so if you don’t like large crowds or don’t want to travel far (depending on where you’re staying), this might be a good market to visit. You can also have a walk afterward through the town, as there are plenty of things to do in Arrecife to spend a day here.

Wednesday and Saturday market in PLAYA BLANCA

Hours: from 10:00 to 14:00

Details about Playa Blanca Market (Marina Rubicon Market)

This market is held twice each week, in the Puerto Deportivo Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca. You will find here everything from souvenirs, food, and fake brand items, so always haggle the price before buying something.

Friday market in COSTA TEGUISE

Hours: from 18:00 to 22:00

This market is held on every Friday evening, so it might prove to be a good start to the weekend. The market in Costa Teguise is on Plaza Pueblo Marinero and although smaller than the one in Teguise, it can prove charming due to its location and the many bars and restaurants in the area.

Friday market in PUERTO DEL CARMEN

Details about Puerto del Carmen Market

On Friday mornings the harbour in Puerto del Carmen is the host for a small market, that brings the Old Town to life. There aren’t many stalls to look at (compared to other markets), but if you’re staying in Puerto del Carmen you should pay it a visit at least once.

Canary Islands, Rest in Spain

description

municipality of the same name in the north of Lanzarote. Capital of the municipality, former capital of the island. The old part of the town is perfectly preserved; it has been declared a historical and architectural heritage. Her appearance has not changed significantly at 1

The population of the municipality is about 22,703 in 2020.

History

Teguise or La Villa, as the locals call it for a long time, was the capital of Lanzarote. The village was founded in 1414 by Maciot de Bethencourt on the site of the most ancient settlement of the Canary Islands. It got its name in honor of the wife of Betancourt and the daughter of the old king of Guardafia, Princess Teguise of the Guanches. The village has become the island’s capital due to its elevated position in the center of Lanzarote.

The history of Teguise is rich in good and bad events, it was repeatedly plundered and devastated by privateers and pirates. Even the fortress of Santa Barbara could not protect against the cruelty of the pirates. In honor of those terrible events, Sangre (blood) street, located near the main square, is named.

The village of Tegise was of great importance as a guard castle, a place from which the sea coast was perfectly visible. This made it possible to see pirate ships in advance. The village had a supply of water, fertile soils were located nearby.

The village of Teguise was the capital of the Canary Islands from 1425 to 1448, and the capital of Lanzarote until 1847.

The first Marquis of Lanzarote was born in 1536, Don Augustin de Herrera y Rojas participated in the evacuation of the royal house in 1586 to protect everyone from the pirate Morato Arráez. The local population took refuge in the caves of Cueva de los Verdes.

House of Augustin de Herrera is one of the oldest buildings in the Canary Islands and one of the most beautiful.

Two years later, Augustin de Herrera y Rojas began building a Franciscan monastery in his garden in Famara. He entrusted the construction to the architect Argot de Molina. Thus was erected the monastery of Santa Madre de Dios de Miraflores in Villa de Teguise.

In 1618 the Berbers attacked Lanzarote and destroyed the village of Teguise.

The village also experienced hard times during the Timanfaya volcano eruption in 1730. But even after that, Teguise was revived, the monastery of Santo Domingo, the hospital of Espiritu Santo, the Church of Veracruz, the church of San Rafael were built.

In the first half of the 16th century, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the main temple of Lanzarote, was built; Santa Barbara Castle; tithe house Cilla de Diezmos y Primicias , Esperanza Espinola.

What to see

The village is interesting in itself, narrow streets with old buildings have a special atmosphere, it’s nice to just walk along them, enjoying the beautiful views. Many historical sights will allow you to choose the most interesting for you. It is not surprising that the great artist and architect Cesar Manrique was born in Teguise, who did a lot to popularize the island.

About the resort

Reasons to go

Visit the fabulous volcano island. Lanzarote contains unique multi-tiered caves, beaches, plantations of vineyards and cacti. The local nature makes an indelible impression – you seem to be on another planet. The main attraction of the island is “lunar landscapes” made of deserted multi-colored solidified lava. Sometimes it seems that there is no life here, and plants surprisingly grow from dry land.
Beaches. The best beaches for a beach holiday are in the southern part of the island, in Papagayo Bay. It has crystal clear water and white sand. And the snow-white coast of the resort of Playa Blanca is an ideal place for families with children. Playa de los Pocillos is a beach with golden sand and small “lakes” after the tides.

Did you know…

Lanzarote is called the “island of fire-breathing mountains” because there are about 300 volcanoes on its territory.

A third of the island is covered with ash and basalt – these are the consequences of the strongest eruption of 1730. Then, for 6 years, thirty volcanoes erupted at once.

The colorful lava fields of Lanzarote were used as scenery for films about distant planets.

Travel life hacks

It is profitable to buy imported alcoholic drinks in the Canary Islands. Here they are cheaper than in Russia. And tobacco products, on the contrary, are more expensive.

The fort is equipped with a drawbridge, and small turrets stand in the corners. Inside the Castillo de San Jose, a museum of modern art has been opened – its collection consists of objects of abstract sculpture and painting of the 50-70s. of the 20th century and the works of the founder of the museum Cesar Manrique.

Cueva de los Verdes. The largest cave of volcanic origin in the world, its depth is 6 km. Cueva de los Verdes has excellent acoustics, so one of the halls was equipped with a concert hall. The cave is located at the foot of the Korona volcano.

Tenerife

From a geographical point of view, the Canary Islands are an archipelago of 7 large and several small islands. The Canary Islands become a window from Europe to the New World so Columbus made the last stop before the discovery of America. On the islands, you can observe a significant difference in climate, which is influenced by many factors – the proximity to Africa, the Atlantic Ocean, northern winds, the mountainous terrain of the islands themselves, etc. All the islands of the Canary archipelago are of volcanic origin and attract tourists with amazing landscapes of volcanic rocks and black sand beaches. But the nature of the Canaries is surprisingly diverse, and in addition to volcanic landscapes, there are tropical and pine forests, dunes and beaches with golden sand.

History of the Canary islands

Canary islands

Introduction

The Canary islands are a group of islands Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, west of the coast of Morocco. The islands enjoy a stable, warm weather all year round and boast diverse natural areas and excellent beaches which have contributed to the development of tourism. Its history is surrounded by mysteries, theories and fantastic myths and stories.

Tenerife guide – Contents

Origin of the Canary islands
The Canary islands are volcanic islands, the result of volcanic activity and could be described in simple terms as the peaks of a huge volcanic mountain range. Estimations indicate that the oldest islands are Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Chinijo (which includes La Graciosa and other smaller islands) emerged between 30 to 40 million years ago. La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria would have emerged between 10 to 15 million years ago, whereas La Palma and El Hierro would date back to “only” one to five million years ago. A short visit to the Timanfaya national park would give the visitor a very good idea on the origins of the islands. Temperatures underground this area reach 400 C and looking at the landscape one could argue being in the moon is more likely than being on earth.

Myths and other theories about the origin of the Canary islands
The fact flora in the Canary island can only be found in America and Africa has risen different theories about the origin of the islands. One line of thought would argue that they were actually part of Africa.
A second, least credible theory, would connect the Canary islands with Atlantis: Cape Verde, Azores, Madeira and the canary islands would be the remains of this legendary, sunken continent.

Theories about the name: Canary islands
Debate is a word that summarises easily many of the questions about the Canary Islands, and this would include its name. One theory is connected with the Berbers from the Sahara. An old Berber tribe was named Canarii, so connecting the Canary island with Berbers that arrived from the Sahara is a plausible theory.
Another theory would connect the islands with the birds of the same name and which populated the island. In most cases, a region´s name is used for what it contains (think of Jerez wines from Jerez de la Frontera for instance) and not the other way round.
A third theory is connected with dogs. It seems explorers from Mauritania were impressed by the dogs that inhabited the mountains of the islands. The word in Latin for dog is canis, and the name of the Can-ary islands would derive from there.

First visits to the Canary islands
As with so many other things in history, it is not clear when the Canary Islands were visited. Homer wrote of a group of islands further from the pillar of Hercules (Gibraltar) and referred to these islands as Hesperides. It is however unclear if ancient Greeks ventured so far or if these stories were simply part of imagination. Had they ventured so far, it would not be clear either if these stories would refer to the Canary Islands, The Azores, or Cape Verde.
Following accounts from King Juba of Mauritania, Pliny the Elder wrote in the 1st century AD about a group of islands that were grouped close to Africa and with a white mountain (this could be the Teide).
During the middle ages, there are no accounts of expeditions and history that had to wait until the 13th century when Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish sailors arrived. At around 1330 an Italian sailor, Lancelloto Malocello landed on the island of Lanzarote and it is believed the name of the island originated from Lancelloto.

Who were the Guanches?
At the time first, sailors arrived from Europe the island was already occupied. There is a large debate about the origin of the first inhabitants of the island. Today they are referred to us Guanches, though Guangues was the name of the inhabitants of Tenerife. The names of the first inhabitants in El Hierro were Bimbaches, Benahouritas in La Palma, Gomeros in la Gomera, Canarios in Gran Canaria, and Mahos in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. But for the sake of simplicity, the term Guanche is used to refer to all of them.

Some theories connect the first settlers with Vikings from the North, other theories consider they arrived from Egypt – the Guanches used somehow similar mummification methods-, or Morocco (Cro-magnons that may have arrived from Morocco) . A more recent theory connects the first settlers with the Berber Canarii tribe. Most historians coincide however that it is most likely that not just one single-origin explains the establishment of the first inhabitants of the islands.
Most elements of Guanche culture were lost after the invasions to the island, though some words remain, as well as some leisure activities like the Lucha Canaria or the tajaraste dance.

Invasions to the Canary islands
The islands were “visited” in search for gold and slaves since the 14th century and by the end of this century, they were well-known. The first well-organized attempt to conquer the island was launched by Frenchman Jean de Bethencourt in 1402. His attempts were only half successful, mostly due to internal fights in his people and he did not conquer Gran Canaria, Tenerife nor La Palma. Attempts from Portuguese and Spaniards alike were not well organized and suffered from internal fights. By 1480 the Catholic kings sent Pedro de vera to sort things out and progress was made but his behavior was not what we would describe as “catholic” and horrified complaints arrived at the Kings who decided to remove Vera and sent Alonso Fernandez de Lugo. De Lugo conquered La Palma and also the last island that remained, Tenerife, whose conquest ended on July 25th, 1496.

Since that moment colonization started to happen and the islands were officially under the control of Spain. The Cabildos (island councils) was founded to regulate the development of ports, water supplies, and incentives for new settlers. The Cabildos are still today in place.

The Canary Islands and its ports gained a considerable amount of traffic from America and Africa and this success brought the arrival of many pirates, a problem that only grew through the 16th century.

Heritage and culture of the Canary Islands

Each of the eight islands that form the Canary Islands Archipelago has its own identity and idiosyncrasy. That’s why talking about Canary Islands heritage and culture means talking about diversity and abundance, about fusion and foreign influence. Beyond learning about the lives of the first settlers, the iconic monuments, historical buildings and the works of artists that have made their mark, it’s also important to discover local festivities and deep-rooted customs that define the Canary Islands character. Open and friendly, calm and approachable, the people of the Canary Islands will make sure you feel right at home.

Islands with stories to tell
You can travel through time while you visit the Canary Islands: all you have to do is take a moment to discover their cultural heritage in order to appreciate the whole story behind each of the islands.

Of all these archaeological areas and historic sites, two in particular stand out, as UNESCO World Heritage Sites: El Risco Caído & Las Montañas Sagradas (Gran Canaria) and the historic town of La Laguna (Tenerife).

In addition to these two heritage sites there is another, intangible piece of heritage, also recognised by UNESCO: the whistled language of the island of La Gomera, a unique form of whistling that crosses mountains on this island.

Contenido

But there are many more places on each of the islands where you can discover part of their history. Some examples are the town of Betancuria (Fuerteventura), the Archaeological Park of Cueva Pintada and Cenobio Valerón (Gran Canaria), the tower of Torre del Conde or the Belmaco archaeological site (La Palma), as well as the Cultural Park of El Julan (El Hierro).

Much of this cultural heritage is also kept in museums, such as the Silk Museum (La Palma), the César Manrique Foundation (Lanzarote) and the MUNA (Tenerife), which contains an interesting collection of Guanche mummies.

Contenido

Artistic Canary Islander
As well as internationally famous musicians, such as the great tenor Alfredo Kraus, one of the best opera singers of the 20th century, or the composer Teobaldo Power, the Canary Islands art scene also includes some internationally famous names, such as that of the artist César Manrique, who was from Lanzarote and was a true visionary and pioneer in ecologism; the painters Óscar Domínguez and Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre; or the sculptor Martín Chirino.

Carnival festivities
One of the most popular local festivities in the Canary Islands is carnival. Much more than a celebration, carnival is the quintessential Canary Island festivity. An explosion of joy and colour, of rhythm and movement, that floods the streets. All day and all night, to the beat of the drums and Latin music. The best way to enjoy it is to paint your face and merge into the crowds. There’s a reason why the carnivals on the islands, especially in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, are among the best in the world and attract thousands of tourists every year.

Contenido

Very Canarian traditions
Alongside the ‘romerías’ and carnivals, the Canary Islands are home to another big festivity that takes place in the islands every five years and is received with great enthusiasm: the ‘Bajadas’ (descents).These are processions through the streets carrying large, heavily ornate floats containing statues of Our Lady: the ‘Virgen de los Reyes’ (Our Lady of the Kings) on El Hierro, ‘Virgen de Guadalupe’ (Our Lady of Guadalupe) on La Gomera and ‘Virgen de Las Nieves’ (Our Lady of the Snows) on La Palma, with the famous, intimate ‘dance of the dwarves’. A magical spectacle that is as unique as the carpets of coloured sand that adorn the streets of La Orotava during Corpus Christi. True ephemeral works of art that are worth discovering.

The rhythm of the Canary Islands
Each island has its own music. That’s the explanation in the Canary Islands for all the different styles of folk music (‘parrandas’, ‘isas’, ‘malagueñas’, ‘seguidillas’ and ‘folías’) that accompany the various ‘romerías’, which are local festivities held in every town and village in the Canary Islands Archipelago. Along with the melodies played on typical local instruments, such as the ‘timple’ (a traditional string instrument) or ‘chácaras’ (a type of castanet used on La Gomera), there are also dances: the tango on El Hierro, the ‘tajaraste’ on La Gomera and the ‘sirinoque’ on La Palma, which the locals dance in beautiful traditional outfits embroidered by hand in colourful thread.

To learn more about the influences that have helped form the music of the Canary Islands, the best thing to do is visit the Timple House Museum in Teguise in Lanzarote or the Néstor Álamo Museum in Gran Canaria.

ETHNONYMS: Canary Islanders, Guanches

Orientation

Identification. The Canary Islands were known in the past as the Fortunatae Insulae and Hesperis. There is some Disagreement on the origin of the name “Canaries,” but generally it is thought to come from the Latin word canis, because of the large number of dogs that lived in the islands. Since their conquest by Spain in the fifteenth century, the islands have belonged to Spain, and since 1982 they have been an autonomous community in the Spanish state.

Location. The archipelago is located between 27° and 29° N and 13° and 18° W, and it belongs to the Macaronesian Region, which also includes Cape Verde, Madeira, and the Azores. The islands are of volcanic origin, though at one time some believed that they formed part of the submerged continent of Atlantis. There are seven main islands (Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote) and several smaller islands with a total area of 7,541 square kilometers, spread over an ocean surface of 100,000 square kilometers off the coast of northwest Africa. The climate is characterized by alternating subtropical anticyclones, which produce a stable weather pattern with few storms. The prevailing climate is determined by the trade winds, which produce mild temperatures, although on occasion the islands experience the effects of Saharan and polar winds. The annual average temperature is 20° C on the coast. Despite the steady climate, the islands have a complex Ecology, with various microclimates found even on the same island.

Demography. The Canarian population numbered more than 1,600,000 in 1990. The core population consists of People descended from indigenous inhabitants and the Spanish conquerors. To this basic nucleus later European immigrants were added, mainly from Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, England, and France. The demographic evolution of the Islands is linked strongly to their economic history and emigration to America. Canarian emigrants settled in several South American countries and the United States, but mainly in Cuba and, more recently, in Venezuela, where people of Canarian origin number more than 500,000. In these Countries Canarians are called isleños (islanders).

linguistic Affiliation. Canarians speak Spanish, but the pronunciation is considerably different than Castilian Spanish. The lexicon includes words taken from the indigenous languages—especially place names and names of Individuals—as well as Portuguese and English.

History and Cultural Relations

The islands were colonized by Berber groups from northwest Africa. The indigenous inhabitants were called guanches, although this label correctly applies only to Tenerife. After being conquered by the Spanish in the fifteenth century, the natives were assimilated quickly. The Canarians today are a homogeneous and well-defined ethnic group who stress their differences from the Spanish, whom they call peninsulares or, more pejoratively, godos. The islands were of major strategic importance during European expansion and their harbors were of value in the trading routes between Europe and America. Since 1852 the islands have had free ports that serve to increase the volume of commercial traffic. Although historic movements for independence have existed, the desire for political sovereignty generally takes the form of a desire for political autonomy. After the democratization of Spain in 1977, the Canary Islands received autonomous status in 1982. In recent times, conflicts over political and economic power in the archipelago have been continuous between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, the most important islands. All national political parties are represented throughout the Islands, although the local parties have strong support and demonstrate the strong insular identities that characterize Canarian society.

Settlements

Indigenous settlements were usually located in ravines, which provided caves for habitation. After the Spanish conquest, settlers went to the windward sides where water was more abundant and the soil more fertile. Pirate incursions from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries required that the main villages be located inland. During the eighteenth Century, an economic crisis and the necessity of increasing agricultural lands led to the clearing of large areas of forest and to the dispersal of settlements. More agricultural land was needed to feed the local population and to provide products for export. In the cities, and especially in the ports, a powerful commercial class composed of the families of old settlers and European immigrants began to emerge. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the growing of bananas, tomatoes, and potatoes for export to Europe increased. More recently, since the 1960s, the Canarian economy has been orientated toward tourism, causing wholesale urbanization on much of the coastal land formerly used for agriculture. At the same time, the local population moved inland. Also, during the last twenty years a strong internal migratory movement has led to the depopulation of the peripheral islands and an overpopulation of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, mainly in the capitals where trade and industry are important.

Economy

Subsistence and Commercial Activities. The indigenous inhabitants had a subsistence economy based on agriculture and pastoralism. With the arrival of European settlers most of the population began to work in agriculture for export. At the same time, subsistence agriculture remained important as a source of food such as cereal grains, maize, and potatoes. In the cities and villages, people made agricultural implements, textiles, etc. for sale. Today, much land formerly given to Subsistence agriculture is being abandoned as farmers seek work in the tourism and construction sectors. Nevertheless, several traditional crops persist through part-time agriculture in which reciprocal work is very important.

Industrial Arts. Many traditional industries have disappeared in the last few decades. Those still surviving include textile production by women, mainly silk, embroidery, and calados (openwork). Pottery, basketry, and other types of handicrafts formerly linked to agriculture and household needs survive as part of the tourist trade.

Trade. The economic history of the islands has been linked to international trade owing to the position of the Islands in the commercial routes between Europe and America. The most productive crops were always for export, with the actual crops grown changing in response to demands from the European countries. The first important crop was sugarcane but it failed as an export crop because of competition from sugarcane exported from the Antilles. Sugarcane was replaced by wine, which was exported to Europe and America until the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, cochineal insect cultivation for the production of dyes was wide-spread, but when anilines (synthetic organic dyes) were discovered cochineal production was discontinued. During the first decades of the twentieth century, bananas, tomatoes, and potatoes were the major crops for export. More recently, flowers and green vegetables exported to Europe have become important.

Limited local industrial development has always necessitated a dependence on imported manufactures. Since 1852 the Canary Islands have had a free-port system that has favored the open character of the islands’ economy, but this system has also led to economic dependence and the growing influence of British trade. Until 1936 the British owned many local businesses, banks, insurance companies, etc. At the same time, they began banana export and created the first tourist facilities. After World War I, the Canary Islands lost their place in the international banana market and slowly became part of the Spanish economy. Actually, a special Economic arrangement recognizes some commercial peculiarities of the islands in spite of their integration in the European Community.

Division of Labor. Socioeconomic changes during the last thirty years have brought women into the labor market. Traditionally, women were confined to agriculture and to the household. Cooking and child rearing continue to be primarily female activities, but in urban areas men play a larger role in domestic tasks. Until the 1960s, most Canarians worked in agriculture, but today more than 80 percent of the working population is linked, in some way, to tourism. Native peoples also hold some positions in the island and state governments, though Spaniards hold most of these positions. Similarly, most of the executive positions in the major tourist companies are held by Spaniards and other Europeans.

Land Tenure. Immediately following the Spanish Conquest, the lands were redistributed through a system (repartimientos ) that gave large tracts to those involved in the military expeditions. Therefore, until the nineteenth century, only a few families owned agricultural land. Following the medieval system of “shared property,” the peasants worked the land, paying their rent with a part of the crops, mainly cereals. Beginning in 1812 many peasants gained control of land, leading to the development of many small- and medium-sized farms. During the 1980s there were more than 70,000 farms, each with more than 6 square kilometers of land. The more profitable ones are mainly on the coast and grow crops for export. Farms devoted to local trade are located in the midlands and highlands.

Kinship, Marriage, and Family

Kinship. Kinship is traced bilaterally. Kin relations also extend to the descendants of relatives and to godsons. Kin terms follow the Eskimo system, with much use of terms for fictive kin.

Marriage. Historically, local and insular intermarriage was common, especially in the interior. The heavy maritime traffic on the coast reduced the incidence of endogamous Marriage in the harbor cities. Marriages were formed between families of similar social status. Marriages between people of different social status or with an important difference in age were prevented by public defamation of the couple. The incest taboo extended to first cousins. Postmarital residence is neolocal and uxorilocal. The role of the mother-in-law is considerable. One popular saying also states that “if you marry a daughter you gain a son, but if you marry a son you lose both.” Wedding ceremonies mainly follow the Catholic rite, but civil marriages have increased in number in recent years. Wedding celebrations take place in public establishments, and this practice has popularized the use of “wedding lists” in businesses with gifts given at marriage.

Domestic Unit. The nuclear family is the most common form, although in rural areas three-generation stem families are still found.

Inheritance. Inheritance is legally regulated. In rural areas the house and lands are divided in equal parts among heirs. Domestic items are inherited by the unmarried daughter who lived with the parents until their deaths. Among shepherds, livestock is inherited by the youngest son.

Socialization. Formal education is required for all children between 5 and 16 years of age. In the cities children also attend kindergarten at age 4.

Sociopolitical Organization

Social Organization. In the past, networks of bilateral kin in the village associations linked individuals of different Social classes through religious and/or work ties (hermandades and cofradías ). Neighboring associations often organize Several social activities. Also important are the Carnival associations, in which men and women of all ages take part. Political Organization. The Canary Islands are divided into two provinces in the Spanish political system, with the entire archipelago forming an autonomous community. Political activity centers on the political parties. The provinces take part in the Spanish parliament and senate. The Canarian parliament is elected by insular electoral districts, and this parliament elects the Canarian government. The government of each island is the cabildo, a traditional institution that also has a role in relations with the state government. Actually, cabildos have lost some of their importance as government institutions, but they are still important in the coordination of insular investments. Traditionally, political clients were significant, and through this system wealthy men had a large network of social and political contacts.

Social Control. Deferential behavior in relation to elders is especially important. A son must ask for his father’s blessing as a sign of respect and submission. Inappropriate behaviors, mainly those associated with drunkenness, may lead to ostracism and a loss of public respect.

Conflict. Disputes about boundaries or properties were the most common conflicts in the rural areas. Different types of conflicts between bordering villages were also frequent, although they were generally expressed in the fiestas and sport competitions.

Religion and Expressive Culture

Religious Beliefs and Practices. Canarians are mostly Catholics. Devotion to the Virgins is considerable. Each Island has a virgin as patron saint and islands make periodic pilgrimages to their sanctuaries. These pilgrimages are also important demonstrations of each island’s identity; each Village also celebrates its patron saint’s day. The church continues to play a major role in organizing this festival, although the event becomes more secular in nature each year. Baptism, marriage, and death are celebrated following the Catholic rite. In recent years, small groups have begun following other Christian rites. Although the state claims to be nondenominational, religious education is common in both public and private schools.

Religious Practitioners. In the past the Catholic church occupied an important place not only in the religious sphere but also in the social and economic aspects of Canarian Society. The loss of church lands and the secularization of public life have now weakened its influence in these areas. Priests receive a subvention from the state, but they also receive gifts and donations from the people.

Arts. Traditional arts focused mainly on the manufacture of domestic implements. Religious painting and sculpture were common until the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, painting inspired by the indigenous culture and traditional rural life has been a noteworthy development.

Medicine. The National Health Institute and private medicine provide services to the entire population. In the country and peripheral areas of the cities people often go to folk healers who rely on a variety of local plants. Although physicians enjoy a high social status, the healer (curandero ) enjoys some recognition for curing certain diseases. For example, for afflictions called mal de ojo (evil eye)—thought to affect mainly children and domestic animals—insolación (sunstroke), and herpes, people go to the healer, believing the source of the affliction can be removed from the body.

Death and Afterlife. Beliefs about life after death follow Catholic tradition. Death is publicly commemorated, and family and community take part in funerals. Traditionally, when a person died, the relatives—especially the women—mourned for one year after the death. Regularly, one month later and one year later people celebrated the death in order to perpetuate the memory of the deceased and to ensure rest for his or her spirit. All Souls’ Day is commemorated by almost the entire population, all of whom go to the cemeteries to bring flowers and to clean the tombs.

Descriptions of the Canary Islands and of the Azores

Scope and Content

The manuscript consists of two works, bound together. The first is a description of the Canary Islands, detailing the history, religion and laws of the natives, called the Guanches, as well as observations on the geography and fauna of the islands. The second work, beginning on folio 43, is a compilation from other works describing the Azores. Bound into the front of the volume is a letter, dated 10 August 1764, by a William Browning detailing the discovery of a well-preserved Guanche body from before the 15th century on one of the islands, and the transportation of the body to Cadiz.

Administrative / Biographical History

The existence of the Canary Islands, a chain of seven islands off the northwest coast of Africa, was known to the Romans and later the Arabs, and European navigators reached the islands in the 13th century. Jean de Béthencourt became king of the islands in 1404 and he conquered Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Ferro. In 1479 Spanish sovereignty was recognised over the chain and the conquest of the remaining islands was completed in 1496. The islands were an important staging point for 17th-century Spanish shipping to and from the Americas; Christopher Columbus started the trend when he stopping there on his westbound trip to replenish his four ships in 1492. The original inhabitants of the Canaries were the Guanche, probably an offshoot of the Berbers of North Africa. Seen as primitive and politically fractured, their resistance to the individual invasions of their islands was swept aside and they were either sold off as slaves or assimilated into the new culture that the Spanish immigrants brought with them. As a consequence of their non-literacy, very little is known of about them, other than European commentaries such as this manuscript and the various cave drawings scattered across the islands.

The Azores, an archipelago in the Mid-Atlantic, were discovered in 1427 by the Portuguese and their colonisation by them began in 1432. Unlike the Canary Islands the Azores were all devoid of human habitation, being about 1,500 km from the coast of Portugal and about 3,900 km from the east coast of North America. Like the Canary Islands, however, they became an important staging post for Spanish voyages to and from the Americas in the 17th century.

Edmund Scory, or Skory, was the son of Sylvan Scory (d. 1617), M.P. for Newton, Hampshire (1597), and the grandson of John Scory, Bishop of Hereford (d.1585). He attended Balliol College, Oxford but left the University without a degree and instead travelled, with one of his destinations being the Canary Islands. He was described in Wood’s Athenae Oxonienses as a man who spent his time hanging on gentlemen and noblemen, with no fixed place of residence. At some point before 1610, however, he decided to take up a literary career and consequently sought a patron, writing An extract out of the historie of the last French king Henry the fourth to solicit support from William Cecil (1591-1668), the son of Robert Cecil and Viscount Cranbourne (afterwards the 2nd Earl of Salisbury), as well as this manuscript to solicit the patronage of Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the noted Elizabethan and Stuart philosopher and statesman.

What to do and best tourist plans
The Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands (Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias-las Islas Canarias) could more aptly be named “the Chest of the Seven Great Treasures” thanks to its location off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.

Located at a privileged crossroads on the world map, the Canary Islands hosts a unique climate which most consider favorable practically every month of the year.

Mapa de las Islas Canarias

The names of its islands—Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera and Hierro—perfectly express the greatness and magnitude of the archipelago. There are several theories regarding the origin of the name “Islas Canarias”.

Some historians attribute the name “Canarii” to the indigenous Berber people who originated from North Africa. Others attribute the name to the monk seals (“canis marinus”) that populated the island at the time it was discovered. A third theory is that Pliny the Elder, a first century Roman writer and military man, visited the Canary Islands during his travels. When he arrived there, the locals welcomed him with a large number of dogs, in particular two large mastiffs. The Spanish word “can” is synonymous with dog, hence the name “Canary Islands”.

Nature, Fauna and Climate: “Jewels” of the Canary Islands

The privileged location of the Canary archipelago translates into a unique climate and nature that in many places is practically unspoiled. Each island enjoys diverse and peculiar fauna, which makes the whole island a paradisiacal, tremendously beautiful place regarding its shapes, sounds, people and temperature.

Atardecer en Guayedra, Gran Canaria

The Canary Island’s spectacular climate spawns peculiar and awesome fauna. The nature which populates each of the seven islands is varied and rich. It’s impossible to speak of the archipelago in terms of a single landscape because each island enjoys a broad variety of microclimates and geological features.

The entire archipelago enjoys a subtropical oceanic climate similar to Hawaii, with minimum winter temperatures an average of 17 degrees Celsius, comfortable enough for most outdoor activities. In any of the seven islands, you can swim at wonderful beaches even in November and December, making it an ideal paradise almost all year round.

Hotels, Cottages and Apartments: Where to Stay?

There’s a broad range of accommodation, including rural houses and hotels scattered throughout the island. If you seek a few days to disconnect you can visit La Graciosa, or enjoy small spiritual retreats in Gran Canaria where you can forget about the world, stress, cell phones and emails among the ancient vegetation, ravines and hidden places. Whether you prefer isolation, an all-inclusive hotel, or a cheap hostel in Tenerife, whatever you are looking for, you will find it.

If you’d prefer a package that includes flight and hotel at a good price, we recommend you visit the Logitravel website. It is easy to navigate, there are very good offers, and you can choose between all inclusive, half board, etc…

What to see and do in the Canary Islands?

Bathing and water sports all year round

This is one of the most popular attractions thanks to the Canary Islands’ favorable year-round climate. Choose a vacation package at any time of the year to enjoy its more than 1,500 kilometers of coastline and beaches that are impossible to find anywhere else.

Dunas de Maspalomas, San Bartolomé de Tirajana

There is nothing more relaxing than lying in the sun, or enjoying long walks on beaches populated with black, volcanic or sunny golden sand. Whether you prefer your beaches to be isolated, or family friendly, you can choose between remote, unspoiled beaches or more urban beaches with all kinds of amenities.

Preparando una inmersión en “La Veta”, Garafía/Tijarafe

Water and sea-related sports are another great option. Thanks to the Canary Islands location, it provides an ideal paradise for lovers of both recreational and professional diving.

The Canary Islands has also become a sports paradise for those who love windsurfing, kite surfing, and Jet Sky, as well as sailing in any type of recreational boat, or to simply go fishing at either an amateur or professional level.

Gastronomy by the Sea

The Canary Islands offers a simple, impressive cuisine where the taste of the sea dominates the cuisine on each of the Islands. Canarian culinary culture is the result of crossbreeding from different cultures that have shaped the modus vivendi of the Canary Islanders.

Best-known are the “tapeos” (Spanish Tapas) in “chiringuitos” (beach bars) and restaurants, located practically on the seashore.

While visiting the islands, enjoy local fish, such as cherne or vieja, and of course the popular “cazuela de atún en adobo” (marinade tuna casserole). You can enjoy local “takes” of these dishes in any of the fishing villages located along the coasts.

Carnivals, Romerías, and Canarian Culture

The festivals and customs that define the Canary Islanders include numerous festivals, the carnivals and Romerías (religious festival).

These celebrations last for days, often weeks, attracting many visitors who travel to the islands every year to enjoy the beat of drums, Latin rhythms, and the visual spectacle of costumes and sensual dances.

Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Here, one can experience what it is like to live as a true Canarian. Two world-famous carnivals are held on the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Puerto Santiago, La Gomera

Canarian culture is also presented through magical places that highlight the special charm of the Canarian people. You can’t leave without paying a visit to Casa de Colón in La Gomera, where Christopher Columbus stayed during one of his many trips through the island.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

While visiting Tenerife, don’t forget to visit San Cristóbal de La Laguna cathedral, a place of pilgrimage for the native Gaunche people, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church is unique thanks to its saffron tones and construction of volcanic stone. The entire city is known as the “Florence of the Canary Islands” because you can walk through streets that preserve their original layout.

In Lanzarote, visit Castillo de Santa Bárbara (Santa Barbara castle), an authentic terraced fortress built atop Mount Benacantil which dates back to the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by Muslims. While there, you can visit a museum dedicated to pirates.

Los Jameos del Agua

In Santa Cruz de La Palma, travelers can find the balconies of Avenida Marítima de Santa Cruz de La Palma, a civil architectural jewel formed entirely of wood, with each unit featuring totally different typology. These homes are a classic example of Canary saledizos, with double balconies to ventilate the interiors of the houses and take advantage of the winds that cool the palm trees.

Finally, we finish our tour in what is known as “the lighthouse at the end of the world”, El Faro de la Orchilla, in Isla de Hierro. Science fans should visit Monumento al Meridiano Cero (Monument to the Zero Meridian), which marks the original Prime Meridian before it was moved to Greenwich, England. This simple monument overlooks a breathtaking landscape and the ocean.

Faro de Orchilla, El Hierro

The Four Most Beautiful Natural Parks of the Canary Islands.

Speaking of nature, one must visit the four most impressive parks of the Canary Islands, each unique thanks to their insular microclimates:

Parque Nacional de Garajona

Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, which is located in Isla de Lanzarote.

Parque Nacional de Garajonay, located in Isla de La Gomera and declared a World Heritage Site.

Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente in Isla de La Palma.

Parque Nacional del Teide in Tenerife, also declared a World Heritage Site.

Drago Canario

A curiosity of the Canarian flora is the Drago, an endemic species of Madeira, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and the Moroccan Anti-Atlas. It is famous throughout the world, the dragon tree of the Canary Islands (Dracaena draco in botany) owes the origin of its name to the Greek word drakaina (female dragon) because of the reddish color of its sap, similar, supposedly, to the blood of dragons.

Fauna of the Canary Islands: What species can we find?

The Canary Islands treasure one of the most extensive and diverse communities of terrestrial animal species; currently there are almost 13,000 species of terrestrial animals and more than 4,500 species of marine animals.

One native reptile is El lagarto gigante de El Hierro (Gallotia simonyi), a giant lizard that populates the entire Isla del Hierro. Approximately 60 cm long, this personable large lizard predates human occupation on the island.

Populating the skies, we find native bird species of the island of Gran Canaria such as the Blue Chaffinch, the Houbara Bustard or the Tarabilla (Saxicola dacotiae) nesting between the islands Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, creating a visual spectacle with their bright colors and unique calls.

Fondo submarino, Lanzarote

And there is no shortage of marine species, mollusks of various kinds, and fish of different species and sizes which can be seen a few meters from the shores.

The Amazigh colonization of the Canary Islands

1In memory of Werner Pichler

2The Imazighen, the indigenous populations of North Africa, have maintained a constant presence since ancient times in the nowadays so called Tamazgha (Hachid, 2000; Chafik, 2005). This African region has experienced various forms of colonisation which, through contacts established with the indigenous people, have given the area a special character. North Africa has been the focus of interactions with “late-comers”, from the founding of Carthage in around 814 BC to the arrival of the French and Spanish colonisers in the twentieth century. The Amazigh-speaking peoples of ancient times, having already encountered the Phoenicians in Carthage, then came into contact with the original “globaliser” (Rome), later resulting in Byzantium. This was followed, more profoundly, by Islam, with the Muslim presence, starting in around 647 AD, proving the most significant (El Aissati, 2005).

3By the 17th and 18th centuries, Arabic had come to predominate in Tunisia and Algeria, although in Morocco the majority of the population continued to live within Amazigh-speaking tribal frameworks. It was only in the nineteenth century that Europe returned to the Maghreb in full triumph, inaugurating another wave of integration within the world economic system through “imperialism” (Maddy-Weitzman, 2006).

4In the case of the Canary Islands (Fig. 1), the Imazighen from North Africa settled in the Canarian Archipelago since the beginnings of the 1st millennium BC and developed a culture on the islands that can be linked to native North African societies and magical-religious practices associated with the religions of the ancient Amazigh (Farrujia, 2014). But we are still far from being able to form a final opinion regarding the situation for the Archipelago as a whole, since the extent of research varies widely from island to island. Also, the present-day situation is unpromising since, although research in recent decades has consolidated the Canarian-African relationship, it is clear that there is still no consensus in terms of origins (how did the islands become populated and colonised? How did the first settlers arrive?). In addition, isolated radiocarbon dates obtained recently are not representative of the entire Archipelago. In this sense, for example, those from the Buenavista site in Lanzarote, which produce a date of C-14 for the 10th century BC, suggest an earlier occupation of Lanzarote (Atoche, 2011), an island which is closest to the African coast. In the case of Tenerife, for example, the most ancient ones produce a date of C-14 for the 5th century BC, and in the case of La Palma, for the 3rd century BC (Farrujia, 2014).

5The indigenous Canarian culture can only be explained by a continental-Africana ethnogenesis which is inseparable from the culture of certain ethnic Amazigh groups that lived approximately 3. 000 years ago. The culture developed in the Canarian Archipelago by Imazighen societies was clearly influenced by insular isolation and adaptation to the island environment under conditions which meant that they were virtually cut off from contact with the African continent and other ethnic Amazigh groups.

6On the basis of current research, it is possible to refer to the existence of relations between some islands during the indigenous period (Tenerife-La Gomera, or Lanzarote-Fuerteventura-Gran Canaria), since certain aspects of the material culture would appear to indicate this. However, some cultural features in certain islands are not found in others. Although they share the same base, the indigenous island cultures developed in isolation, with very little contact with the exterior. Given this, the poor quality of the ceramics, except in the case of Gran Canaria, leads to the conclusion that later inter-island and even cross cultural ex-changes were rare, indicating cultural isolation until the time when the islands were conquered by the Europeans in the 14th century.

1  See the work of González Antón & Arco Aguilar (2007) or Atoche (2011), amongst others.

7This has made the indigenous archaeology of the Canary Islands an extraordinary, marginal and almost unclassifiable historical example of Amazigh or (North) African culture. In other words, the indigenous Canarian universe was unarguably Amazigh, although from the point of view of “positive culture” it is a unique case and an extraordinary product of involution (due to isolation) and adaptation to an island environment. The archaeological evidence (ceramics, rock inscriptions, etc.) and anthropological/genetical type (DNA) evidence are indisputable (Mederos & Escribano, 2002; Farrujia, 2014), as we will argue in forthcoming pages. However, there are many gaps in our understanding of the circumstances in which the first settlers arrived in the Canary Islands. We still do not know how or why the North African Amazigh landed in the Canary Islands in the first millennium BC, although the early colonisation of the islands has recently been related to Phoenician-Punic influence in the Atlantic: the islands could have been colonized by Phoenician traders who brought over North Africans. ¹

8The indigenous Canarians lived mainly in natural caves (and to a lesser extent in man-made caves cut into rocks), usually near the coast, 300-500 m above sea level. These caves were sometimes isolated but more commonly formed settlements, with burial caves nearby. Gran Canaria is the only island where settlements with stone houses forming important urban concentrations can be found, although isolated houses have also been documented. In terms of subsistence, animal husbandry was the main means of support for the indigenous societies in the different islands, with the exception of Gran Canaria where agriculture was more developed, including both dry and irrigated farming. The herds basically consisted of goats and sheep and, to a lesser extent, pigs, all of them imported from West North Africa and adequately adapted to the climate and enviroment. Gathering plants and fishing also provided significant food resources (Mederos & Escribano, 2002).

9Ceramics are the artefacts most commonly found in archaeological excavations and also the most widely studied. This is due to the research possibilities they offer, using a cultural-historical approach (which still prevails amongst Canarian archaeologists), for establishing timelines, food consumption patterns, stylistic trends, etc. In the Canary Islands they are typically varied, with each island presenting both formal and decorative differen-ces. The only common feature is that they were coil-built instead of using a wheel. Ceramic items were often incised or burnished, in particular in Gran Canaria, where painted decorations in shades of red, black and white were also common. The La Palma ceramics provide the best stratigraphic sequence, in four phases, although the Gran Canaria ceramics are undoubtedly the most complex, due to the variety of shapes, handles and decorative features. Gran Canaria ceramics also exhibit the clearest affinities with North African Amazigh ceramics (Fig. 2). The Tenerife vessel forms enable parallels to be drawn with those documented in Mauritania and in the central and southern Sahara regions (Farrujia, 2014).

10The raw materials used in the lithic industry were obsidian and basalt, and the most common tools were burins, borers, racloirs and scrapers. Typical polished stone items were ground stones, used to grind cereals. In terms of the bone industry, which was based mainly on ovicaprine bones, grainers and awls for use in leatherwork were common, as well as fish hooks. Antlers were also used to make tools for ploughing or were set in wood to be used as projectiles (spears). There was also an important wood industry, primarily represented by shepherd’s crooks, combs, shields, containers and doors for man-made caves and houses.

11The majority of the plant fibres used by the indigenous Canarians for clothing and basket-making came from the round-head bulrush (Holoschoenus vulgaris), which wasused to make mats, baskets, bags and shrouds, as well as garments, which were also manufactured from goatskin (Arco, 1993).

12According to the first chronicles and historical sources written by the Europeans just after the conquest and colonization of the Canary Islands (see Tejera & González, 1987; Farrujia, 2014), in terms of social and political organisation, there was a system of matrilineal descent in most of the islands, in which inheritance was passed on via the female line. Social status and wealth were hereditary and determined the individual’s position in the social pyramid, which consisted of the king (known as the Guanarteme in Gran Canaria and Mencey in Tenerife), the relatives of the king, the lower “nobility”, villeins, plebeians and, finally, executioners, butchers, embalmers and prisoners.

13With regard to faith, the indigenous Canarians, like the North African Imazighen groups, worshipped two celestial divinities, the sun and the moon, and sacred natural places such as particular mountains, rocks and caves. Their religion revolved around the need for rainwater, on which the pasture land and crops, and therefore the food for the indigenous people and their livestock, depended. Religious offices were usually held by men, although in Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura these duties were performed by women. Some indigenous sites have been associated with this cult, such as the cave paintings in Gran Canaria whose interiors display painted geometric motifs, the cup and groove sites, consisting of small spherical depressions carved into the rock and linked by man-made channels which are related to the spilling of libations, and the sacrificial altars, built in stone and varying in shape although mainly circular, used to burn animals sacrificed as offerings to the gods (Tejera, 2001; Mederos & Escribano, 2002).

14The world of death was also related to cultural practices. In the Canary Islands, burial sites are one of the most common finds, although they have been plundered continuously since the 18th century. The indigenous Canarians beloved that life continued in another form after death and therefore supplied the corpse with provisions (ceramics, food, awls, beads, rush bags, etc. ). They laid the bodies to rest by placing them on beds of stone, vegetation, animal skins etc. to avoid physical contact with the earth. The most common method of laying out corpses was to place them supine inside natural caves or shelters. In Gran Canaria they were also placed in excavated caves or tombs (Arco, Jiménez & Navarro, 1992).

15Indigenous funeral rituals also included mummification, which was reserved for members of the “nobility” (as a prestige practice) and has been documented primarily in Tenerife and Gran Canaria.² In this sense, and according to Abreu Galindo (1602), in the isle of Gran Canaria, nobles and gentry were mummified in the sun and then deposited in burial caves. Also, as Arco (1976) has argued, the mummified remains studied in the Canary Islands present a size above average, an important level of leptosomia, and they lived longer. These, in fact, are the main biological characteristics of the upper social strata. It is also relevant the following aspect: mummification is represented by a small percentage compared to non mummification, and this is indicative of the existence of social differences expressed at the time of burial.

16Further evidence of the North African origins of the indigenous Canary Island populations can be seen in the rock engravings, featuring a script classified as Libyan-Berber that shows clear affinities with scripts recorded in Libya and Algeria. Moreover, from a genetic point of view, the closest counterparts to 55% of the descendants of the indigenous populations are found in the Maghreb.³

17The entire indigenous culture, which had existed in the Canary Islands since the middle of the first millennium BC, began to disappear irreversibly following the conquest and colonisation of the Archipelago, that began in the Late Middle Ages, at the end of the 14th century.

4  Indigenous female lineages have survived in present-day populations since the conquest, experienci (…)

18With the passing of time, the legacy of the individual communities that inhabited the different islands in the Archipelago up to the time of the European colonisation –and provided evidence of their way of life and adaptation and survival strategies in this island environment– began to disappear irreversibly as a direct result of the gradual disappearance of the indigenous Canarian societies. In the case of the Canary Islands, unlike the situation in the American continent (Pérez, 2006) or in Australia (Veracini, 2006), there is no historical continuity between the indigenous, pre-colonial and post-colonial societies, since the conquest and subsequent colonisation of the Canary Islands by the Crown of Castile led to the gradual physical destruction of almost the entire indigenous society.⁴ This is why in the Canary Islands there is no indigenous archaeology –i. e. archaeological research and heritage management produced by and for indigenous people. In fact, the Canarian economy became characterised essentially by a model based on agricultural development, which, in turn, formed part of the Atlantic and international economy. This led to the development of a dependent and peripheral economy on the islands from the beginning of the 16th century. The resulting colonial society was composed of a ruling group (the aristocracy, clergy and merchants i.e. those who held political positions and controlled the economy) and the majority whom they ruled (labourers, those marginalised for religious reasons, and slaves, including the indigenous Canarians).

19In the case of the Canary Islands therefore, the concept of “indigenous” implies clear temporal connotations: it refers to the populations present on the islands since the time of the first settlements in the Archipelago (in the middle of the first millennium BC) until its rediscovery in the 16th century by Europeans.

20The rediscovery of the Canary Islands by the Europeans therefore led to the gradual disappearance of the indigenous settlements, the elimination of material items from the indigenous culture, the appropriation of indigenous areas, which were occupied by the new settlers and by the emerging colonial society, and the imposition of ways of life and systems of social organisation and production governed by a Western-European world view, values and regulatory mechanisms that were alien to the indigenous Canarian world. Over time, the arrival in the Archipelago of an imperialist archaeology, developed during the 19th century and a good part of the 20th century, would help perpetuate a Western, European interpretation of the indigenous Canarian past, as already argued in other works (Farrujia, 2009 and 2014). An unequal power relationship was therefore the starting point for any consideration of the Canarian heritage. The archaeology of the Canary Islands was perceived through the “filter” of a knowledge that systematically questioned the Amazigh origin of the Canarian indigenous people, arguing instead for a supposedly European root. Parallel to this, archaeological heritage management underwent certain changes that nevertheless failed to improve the organisation, understanding, protection and dissemination of the indigenous heritage, until well entered the 20th century. And therefore, archaeological evidence was analysed on the basis of this discourse and this knowledge was essentially disseminated via the museums, as it has been recently discussed (Farrujia, 2013b).

21Regarding the Libyco-Berber script, and even if Algerian colleagues (e.g. Hachid 2000) claim its independent invention, one fact should be beyond discussion: such an elaborated alphabetical script without any previous stage of pictographic or syllabic script would presuppose one of the most ingenious acts of invention during the whole history of mankind. We can find no second example worldwide. The assumption that this brilliant creator took the same signs for the same phonemes in a series of cases as the creators of the Old Phoenician alphabet is beyond any credible probability. So it seems reasonable to restrict to the assumption that the Libyco-Berber script was no own invention in the strict sense of the word but a very creative adaptation.

22There can be no doubt about the autochthon invention of script in Sumer and Central America, probably this happened in China and Egypt too. The search for the probable precursor of the Libyco-Berber script is not at all complicated. Central America and China drop out by spatial and temporal reasons, the highly pictographic Hieroglyphic script of Egypt never can be a model for the extremely geometric Libyco-Berber script. So it is no surprise that more than 90% of all researchers agree in the preference of Sumer as the probable place of origin. Till the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC the idea of script reached the coast of the Mediterranean. In the time about 1700 BC the idea of a consonantal script was born in the region between Syria and the peninsula of Sinai. Out of this region the script developed into two different directions:

to the S-Semitic scripts of the Arabian Peninsula

to the NW-Semitic scripts.

23The clear favourites for precursors among these two groups are:

the so-called “Thamudic” scripts

the Old Phoenician script.

24In fact the decision is not really complicated: How should the Berber people of NW-Africa ever have been able to get in contact with the nomads and oasis settlers of the Arabian desert or vice versa? Of course a contact with the seafaring Phoenician people which colonized a great part of the Mediterranean coast is much more plausible.

25Actually, Jürgen Untermann (1997) has proved years ago that the Phoenicians have brought the script to the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula during the 9th century BC. What would be more plausible as to presume a similar act of taking over the script south of the Street of Gibraltar?

26To tell it in short: All indications for this event fit together perfectly:

the system of the script, especially the three half vowels

the time

and the place of the taking over.

-The vowel system

27While the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula took over the three half vowels from the Old Phoenician alphabet and added two more vowels under Greek influence, the inhabitants south of Gibraltar kept the system of three half vowels.

-The time

28The development of some Old Phoenician characters gives us a temporal corridor for the taking over to Gibraltar between the 10th and 9th century BC and to Northern Africa about the 8th or 7th century BC.

-The place

29If all what we know about the development of the Libyco-Berber script is not totally wrong, we can identify the oldest inscriptions in the mountains of the High Atlas.

30In 2006 trial trenches were made on the Oukaimeden plateau in the High Atlas, one of them exactly on front of the famous “frise aux elephants” with one of the supposed oldest Libyco-Berber inscriptions. The C-14date obtained from the charcoal of a hearth resulted in an age of 2680 +/- 35 BP. The authors of this study summarize: “Il est tentant (mais osé) d’établir un lien entre la date de ce foyer et l’inscription libyco-berbère de la frise aux éléphants. (…) Mais ceci reste purement hypo-thetique” (El Graoui et al. 2008: 107f).

31This is totally correct. In fact, this C-14date is no proof of the age of the inscriptions. Nevertheless, it is a remarkable correspondence with the age deduced from the historical evolution of script in the Mediterranean.

-The archaic script

32The above mentioned original type of alphabet, which can be called the archaic one (Fig. 3), spread to the East until the Kabylia and to the West till the Canary Islands. The most plausible time of this taking over to the islands deduced from the epigraphic development is the 6th century BC.

33We can find these archaic inscriptions especially on El Hierro and Gran Canaria and single ones on La Gomera and La Palma. Their main features are:

they are pecked (and not carved or scratched)

they prefer round variants (instead of angular ones)

they occur in a clearly definable context of linear and geometric depictions: circles, serpentines, labyrinths, nets etc.

Fig. 3. The main differences between archaic and classic inscriptions

34It is evident that this context shows striking similarities to the so-called “megalithic” repertoire of signs. During the last century D.J. Wölfel and his students tried to search for these roots of an “Atlantic culture”, but we have no evidence of such a connection so far and probably we never will find one (Pichler 2003; Farrujia, 2013a). However, it is no secret that the North African rock art provides hundreds and thousands of examples which show an evident similarity to Canarian ones.

35Thus it is no surprise that we can find in these archaic inscriptions personal names which are identical with ones from African inscriptions:

36NGRN = NGRH (RIL 441)

37STN = STH (RIL 980)

38MZL = MSHL (RIL 586)

39MSKL = MSKL (RIL 713)

40KSN = KSN (RIL 719) etc.

41Who were the creators of these archaic inscriptions? At least since Wölfel it was usual to ascribe the Libyco-Berber inscriptions to seafarer who made a short stop or unintentional visitors like ship wreckers sailors: “My provisional impression is that the greatest part of the inscriptions is situated near the coast. Therefore, it seems reasonable to think of seafarer who visited the islands to bunker fresh water and to have a rest” (1940: 306). Wölfel felt confirmed in this assumption by his own translation of one line from La Caleta/El Hierro (Fig. 4):

42l)£ta = LRYT = lereita = was here.

Fig. 4. Details of the inscription of La Caleta (El Hierro)

43From the epigrapher’s point of view it is necessary to state that this transliteration is definitely wrong. The first sign lstands for /w/ in vertical lines, the sign for /l/ would be P (l turned 90°).

44Nowak, also imbedded by an evolutionist positioning, took over Wölfel’s ideas and resumed: “An assignment of these alphabetiform inscriptions to the original inhabitants seems to be just as bold as improbable” (1986: 70). Only a few very rough inscriptions in a greater distance from the coast were considered to be naive copies of inscriptions made by the inhabitants. All these conclusions were based upon a sample of some dozens of inscriptions from El Hierro only, and as already stated, imbedded by evolutionism. In fact, nearly 90% of the panels on this island are situated nearer than one kilometre, nearly 20% nearer than ten meters from the coast.

45Nowadays we have the counter example of Fuerteventura: on this island all sites except two can be found in distances of 6–12 kilometres from the coast. If we consider that the typical width of the island lies between 18 and 26 kilometres this means a nearly maximum distance of the sites from the coast. In addition we register typical altitudes of 200 – 570 meters, half of the sites lie on the top of mountains. In view of these facts the thesis of occasional or unintentional visitors as creators of the inscriptions becomes obsolete.

46Everyone who ever has dealt with the topic of the Libyco-Berber script knows that we have a second group of inscriptions on the eastern islands of the archipelago. For a better understanding let us first have a look on the further development in the northernmost part of Africa.

-The classic script

47Since the 3rd century BC two Numidian kingdoms developed: the one of the Masaesyli and the one of the Massyli. The Libyco-Berber script of this time, which can be called the classic one, was adopted as an “official script” of these kingdoms, especially used for monuments and gravestones. The considerable influence of the Roman and Punic cultures upon these inscriptions is documented by a series of bilingues.

48Exactly in this era there happened a second wave of immigration to the Canary Islands. Berber people which were accustomed to the Roman culture and script brought a second type of inscriptions which differ from the archaic ones in three points (Fig. 2):

they are carved or scratched

they prefer angular variants

they occur often in a context of Latin cursive inscriptions.

49All of these three points cannot be stated as apodictic conditions. That means: not every scratched inscription belongs necessarily to the classic type but there is a striking preference. The same goes for the preference of angular variants which is caused by the technique: it is much easier to scratch/carve straight lines than round ones.

50The second type of alphabetic inscriptions on the Canary Islands (The Latino-Canarian type) plays an important role for the dating of the associated Libyco-Berber ones. The first examples of this type were discovered in the late 1980s on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. A research project carried out by Werner Pichler, and sponsored by the Austrian FWF, widened the basis for examination and interpretation from a handful of lines to about 240 lines.

51As it was already demonstrated in the 1990s, this special type of cursive script, which is typical for the border-territories of the Roman Empire, can be dated to the time about Jesus Christ’s birth (Pichler 1994, 1995). This is exactly the time of the colonies of Augustus in Morocco (Tingis, Lixus, Zilis, etc.: 27 BC – 14 BC) and of the Mauretanian king Juba II. (25 BC – AD 23) with his crimson manufactories at Mogador, and probably also in the Canary Islands.

52Among the Latino-Canary lines we can find personal names which are well-known from North African inscriptions (Fig. 5):

53ANIBAL = HANIBAL

54NUFEL = NUBEL/NUVEL etc.

55The preferred destination of this wave of immigration were the eastern islands Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where the classic type of script is the only one, occasional examples seem to exist on Gran Canaria, Tenerife and El Hierro.

Fig. 5. Latino-Canarian inscriptions from Morro
Pinacho y Barranco del Cavadero (Fuerteventura)

56The most frequently asked question is if we can read these ancient inscriptions of the Canary Islands. For a considerable part of them the answer is: Yes. The transliteration of the Canary inscriptions is solved to nearly 100% by new discoveries of the last decades. A basis group of the sign inventory never changed during the 2500 years of development:

57à = M, t = T, O = N, P = L, r = R, ¢ = Y

58Some additional signs did not change their form and phonetic value till the invention of recent Tifinagh:

59m = D, l = W, ú = P/F, I = S

60A series of further characters easily can be recognized as variants of a basic form:

= ú, = ∏ ,  = ¢

61In these last cases a statistical analysis of the frequencies can help to establish assignments to phonetic values with a high degree of probability. In any case the result must be a complete alphabet and a frequency of each character which is usual in the used language/s.

62In fact, in 1994 there were documented some examples of bi-scripts (Libyco-Berber and Latino-Canary) on Fuerteventura (Pichler 1994). Since this time the transcription of Libyco-Berber inscriptions in general is far beyond speculation.

63In the case of these few bi-scripts we can be very sure that the writer had control of both alphabets. He surely comes from a territory inside the borders of the Roman Empire, growing up with the Berbers own script and learning a second one by getting in contact with the Romans. Such a Romanized Berber writes his name in Latin characters and adds his filiation in Libyco-Berber characters: he feels as a participant of the Roman culture but at the same time he is proud of his Berber origin.

64In general we can notice a very close connection between the Latino-Canary and the Libyco-Berber inscriptions of the Canary Islands:

We have some bi-scripts: the same word in both scripts on the same panel: e. g. WMKRN – AVMACURAN

We have examples of the same personal name in Latino-Canarian and Libyco-Berber script on different panels/sites: e.g. WSM ’ – VASIMA

We have examples of Latino-Canarian lines with one Libyco-Berber character for a phoneme which cannot be represented by a Latin character (all sibilants except of /s/): eg. IUFAS

We can notice a distinct influence of the Libyco-Berber way of writing on some Latino-Canarian inscriptions, e.g. the direction of writing

65The second step of reading the Canarian inscriptions is the transcription of the lines, mainly consisting in the addition of the unmarked vowels. This is no problem in the case of several personal names which are attested in Latin inscriptions on the Canaries:

66SM ’ = SIMA

67or – in most cases – in North Africa:

68MSKL = MASCAL/MASCEL

69In some cases we even can translate a Libyco-Berber line:

70WMKRN = AVMACVRAN = son of MAKURAN (PN, male).

The transitional and the Tifinagh scripts

71During a period of some hundred years the evolution from the archaic to the classic alphabet consists only in minimal changes: nearly all alterations of signs can be classified as variants of the basic forms. But sometimes later –we do not know when it happened up till now– the appearance of the Libyco-Berber script changed totally. All phonemes except six were represented by totally new signs from that time on. We call this new type of alphabet Tifinagh. This change didn’t happen in a sudden act of innovation but in a continuous process of transition. We can find examples of this transitional alphabet all over Northern Africa: from Mauritania and Morocco over Ahaggar, Adrar and Air till to the Tassili and Messak. The most obvious feature of this alphabet is the appearance of dotted signs in addition to linear ones:

? together with l

q together with þ

72A further characteristic is the presence of the sequence q r þ (according to Aghali-Zakara 1999:3: “ə(re(“ = “I call”, followed by a personal name).

73We can find only one inscription all over the Canary Islands which can be related with this stage of evolution of the Libyco-Berber script. It was documented at the site Llano de Zonzamas/Lanzarote (Pallares Padilla 1991: 59 – Fig. 12) and contains – quite astonishing – exactly the sequence q r þ – but in opposite order (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6. Inscription from Llano de Zonzamas (Lanzarote)

74The final stage of the historical evolution of the Libyco-Berber script is called Tifinagh. Its evidence is thousands of rock inscriptions all over the whole territory of North Africa – but only very few in Morocco. This last restriction may be the reason for the fact that we can find no Tifinagh inscription on the Canary Archipelago. So the assertion cited again and again in a series of Spanish publications that the Libyco-Berber inscriptions of the Canary Islands originate from Berber/Moor slaves from the time after the Conquest is not legitimate at all. Probably these slaves came from the north-westernmost part of Africa and it looks like if literacy had not survived till to modern times in this region.

The colonization of the islands: a diachronic hypothesis on the basis of Libyco-Berber inscriptions

75Of course we are far away from being able to give any final opinion about the situation of the whole archipelago because the level of research differs enormously from island to island. Nevertheless, the examination of the Libyco-Berber inscriptions indicates a division of the Canary Islands into two parts of Berber influence from different times, but geographically overlapping:

An Archaic Berber culture of the 6th century BC including El Hierro (El Julan, La Caleta etc.), parts of Gran Canaria (Barranco de Balos, Arteara etc.), the one inscription on La Palma (Cueva de Tajodeque) and probably the one of La Gomera (Las Toscas del Guirre) too. According to other archaeological data (Atoche, 2011), Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura probably too, were colonised since the 10th century BC.

5  Some other rupestrian sites in Tenerife have already been related to this period, by means of styl (…)

6  For a deeper analysis of this archaeological proposal, taking into consideration other archaeologi (…)

A Romanized Berber culture since the time of Augustus and Juba II, including Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, probably parts of Gran Canaria (Hoya Toledo, Llanos de Gamona etc.), some inscriptions on El Hierro (Barranco de Tejeleita, Barranco Cuervo etc.), and the one inscription on Tenerife (Cabuquero).5 The connection of the inscription from Tenerife with additional linear-geometric engravings similar to those of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura increases the probability of this assignment. The assignment of the inscriptions of Gran Canaria and El Hierro is highly hypothetic.6

76In addition to these two significant waves of cultural influence we have a very small indication for a contact in the era of the transitional alphabet. But we have not the slightest indication that North African people imported the Tifinagh alphabet in the time after the Conquest.

7  In the case of La Gomera it is important to highlight the archaeological site of “Las Toscas del G (…)

77Scientific research into the archaeology of the Canary Islands has been systematically characterized by an interest in issues such as timing and significance, in some cases from evolutionist approaches and, more recently, from a culture-historicism perspective. In this context, and in the case of Libyco-Berber inscriptions, it should be mentioned that the level of research differs from island to island: while we have a satisfying quantity of data from Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, El Hierro and La Gomera, we know only one inscription each from Tenerife and from La Palma.⁷ In this sense, some of the present statements develop in this paper are of course provisional ones and can be modified by new discoveries.

78Libyco-Berber inscriptions have played a really important role from a diachronic point of view, been studied with the aim of sequencing the prehistory of the islands. In recent years this has been accompanied by the emergence of numerous publications, in many cases produced outside research programs and divorced from theoretical discussion, the isolated study of certain rupestrian sites consisting of small-scale historical units (district, ravine, etc.), the failure –in most cases– to incorporate the perspective of spatial archaeology, and the development of research limited to the formal description of rock motifs that does not explore the inherent chrono-cultural or interpretative issues.

79This problem in recent Canarian archaeology is a direct consequence of how the Canarian scientific community deals with the study of rupestrian manifestations and, when trying to unravel such questions as origin and meaning, the scenario remains quite bleak. Currently there are no research programmes that provide for systematic prospecting and excavation. As long as there is no provision for this, the study of archaeology will remain at a standstill.

80In this sense, we are far away from being able to give any final opinion about the situation of the whole archipelago, because the level of research differs enormously from island to island. Nevertheless, we can affirm that the ancient colonization of the Canary Islands (Archaic Berber culture) was initiated by the 6th century BC in El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, according to other archaeological data, were colonised since the 10th century BC. In a second stage it was introduced a Romanized Berber culture since the time of Augustus and Juba II, including Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, El Hierro and Tenerife.

History

Inhabited and developed by people five thousand years ago, the archipelago became known to the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC. Many ancient authors mentioned the Canary Islands as a kind of mythical or even paradise land lying behind the Pillars of Hercules. The first most reliable mention of the Canary Islands belongs to Pliny, who tells about the campaign of the Mauritanians, who brought huge dogs from the islands. From the Latin canis – dog – and the name of the islands comes.

It is said that the Canary Islands (Islas Canarias) are the remnants of the Atlantis that sank 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.

Before Europeans came to the islands, they were inhabited by tribes Guanches . Their development was at the level of the Stone Age, they were engaged in cattle breeding and primitive agriculture. Animal skins were used as clothing. At the same time, they were able, like the ancient Egyptians, to mummify their leaders. It remains a big mystery how, by whom and why the pyramids of Guimar were built – an amazing monument of megalithic architecture.

Arab sailors were the first to reach the Canary Islands in the 12th century. French navigators visited the Canaries in 1334. In 1344 Pope Clement VI grants the islands of Castile. In 1402 the Frenchman Jean de Bethencourt began to seize the islands. The tribes from Gran Canaria welcomed the Europeans, while the tribes that inhabited Tenerife tried to resist, fighting with stone-tipped arrows and slings. In 1404, King Henry III of Castile proclaims Jean de Bethencourt king of the Canaries. Portugal, which also claimed the Canary Islands, recognized them as Spanish possession under an agreement dated 1479of the year. The last battles on the island of Tenerife took place at the end of the 15th century. In May 1494, the Guanches defended their island, but in December 1495, after the plague had weakened the Guanches, the Spaniards completely took over the archipelago.

At the same time, on La Gomera, makes a stop Christopher Columbus during his first journey in search of a route to India. After the discovery of America, the Canary Islands become the most important point on the way from Europe to the new world. Due to this geographical position, the islands become the target of other states, and just pirates. Moroccan troops first captured Lanzarote in 1596 and 1586. Then in 1595 Sir Francis Drake attacked Las Palmas . Following this, the Dutch fleet destroyed Las Palmas in 1599.
Nelson tried to conquer the Canaries in 1797

In 1657, the British fleet under the command of Admiral Robert Blake defeated the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Tenerife. In 1797 already Admiral Nelson tried to capture Santa Cruz de Tenerife . But he was defeated and lost his arm in battle. Despite everything, the Canary Islands remain under the control of Spain. In 1821 they become a province of Spain with Santa Cruz de Tenerife as its capital. This causes dissatisfaction on the part of Las Palmas and for some time in the 1840s the islands are divided into two provinces.

Throughout this period, agriculture has been the backbone of the economy of the Canary Islands. In the 17th century, sugar cane was grown, in the 18th century they were engaged in winemaking, in the 19th century – cochineal (fabric dye), at the end of the 19th century – bananas and tomatoes. However, the British blockade of Europe during the First World War destroyed the banana trade and plunged the islands’ agriculture into decline. Since the end of the 19th century, tourism began to develop on the islands, the first few dozen hotels were built in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas.

The era of upsurge and hope after the end of the First World War was destroyed in 1936. In March, General Franco (Francisco Franco), suspected of conspiracy, is transferred to the Canary Islands. But already in July, Franco captures the islands and flies to Morocco to continue the fight. The Canary Islands experienced the same post-war hardships as Spain, and many residents immigrated from the country to Venezuela. In the 1950s 16,000 people left the country, a third of whom set off on leaky boats. At the beginning of 1960s Franco decided to open the hospitable doors of the country for tourists. The latest and greatest economic boom has completely changed life on the islands. Millions of tourists come to the islands every year in search of the southern sun.

The Canary Islands became an autonomous region in 1982 and the Canary Coalition played a large role in the right wing’s victory in the 1996 Spanish general elections. She promised all support to the government, provided that the interests and needs of the islands were to be considered first. At 1986 The Canary Islands are admitted to the EEC under special conditions.

Canary Islands from Krasnodar

Islands of Eternal Spring – this is the name of the chain of the Canary archipelago, located in the Atlantic Ocean, 1500 km from the Iberian Peninsula and 100 km from the coast of Africa. Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, Hierro, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote – all seven islands belong to Spain, but perhaps the only thing that connects them to the mainland is the language. Otherwise, they are so distinctive and diverse that one might get the impression that each island is a separate state. Due to its unique location and climate, the islands never get tired of the tiring heat, the weather is always comfortable here, and the water temperature does not drop below +20 degrees.

Green valleys and fantastic rocks, white, black, red and golden sand, bizarre landscapes, gentle ocean waves, cultural and architectural monuments, friendly people, simple but delicious food – all this is the Canary Islands, where holidays have become available to everyone. With the last statement, many will want to argue, they say, the Canary Islands have always been a symbol of a prosperous life and unaffordable luxury. Perhaps it was once so, but now in the Canary Islands you can meet tourists with different levels of income and needs, including from Russia. The cost of the trip is comparable to the cost of a tour to the favorite mass destinations of Russians, however, a visit to the Canary Islands can give much more impressions

Fantastic Tenerife. The largest island in the archipelago by area. Like all other islands, it is of volcanic origin, which is confirmed by the cap of the Teide volcano already visible from the plane and from the ocean – by the way, this is the highest point in Spain (3718 meters). Teide National Park is included in the UNESCO list: unique nature, breathtaking views, the opportunity to take spectacular photos on convenient viewing platforms bring the volcano and the park to the top places that must be visited not only in the Canary Islands, but throughout Spain. Another visiting card of Tenerife is the black beaches, which also owe their color to volcanic sand. It is said that such sand has healing properties. Even more surprising is that on one island, 12 climatic zones are concentrated! There are tropical forests, and fantastic valleys formed as a result of volcanic activity, a variety of beaches, mountains and cool gorges.

Last minute tours to the Canary Islands, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, Hierro, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote

As for the resort areas, everyone can choose for themselves the place where he will be most comfortable. Note that the island is divided by mountains into two main climatic zones: humid, but rich in vegetation, north and more sunny, dry south. The largest resort is Playa de las Americas. Lovers of adventures in bars, restaurants and discos will feel most comfortable here. Life is in full swing day and night, the narrow streets are filled with the hum of voices, the smells of food are carried from numerous cafes, and sometimes there is nowhere for an apple to fall on the beach. But the place Los Gigantes, on the contrary, will appeal to lovers of a relaxing holiday. The landscapes that frame the resort are impressive – majestic rocks go into the depths of the ocean, and snow-white yachts surf the water surface.

Those who prefer an active pastime to a relaxed holiday should definitely visit the trail in the Maska Gorge, which has a depth of about 1300 meters. The trail starts from the village of Masca, where no more than 100 people live, and goes to the ocean. Along the way, from the guides, you can hear a lot of amazing legends about treasures and pirates who have been in these places. Fire-breathing Lanzarote. Lanzarote, the fourth largest island in the Canary archipelago, is located 125 km off the coast of Morocco. Its other, unofficial name is the island of fire-breathing mountains. It is known that three hundred volcanoes are located on its territory. Hence the unusual landscapes – it seems that you are on another planet. It is curious that the coastline of the island is 250 km, but the beaches here are only 30. But the sand here is not only white and black, but also red. The red color also prevails in the Timanfaya National Park, where the main tourist attraction is the El Diablo restaurant, where they cook on a volcanic grill. Delicious wine is also produced in Lanzarote, the island even has its own wine-growing area, La Geria. And yes, grapes here also grow on volcanic soil.

Varied Gran Canaria. This island is often called a miniature continent, because at 50 sq. There are so many natural areas concentrated in kilometers that one can only be surprised at the imagination of nature that scattered them around the island. But, perhaps, the most unforgettable impression will be made on you by Maspalamos beach. Going to it from the city of the same name, you suddenly find yourself in a real desert – with soft dunes, fine and hot sand and hot sun. But moving along it towards the ocean, you suddenly find yourself on the edge of a dune, descending from which, you will immediately fall into the gentle embrace of the ocean. So many impressions, and these are only three islands! There is one more indisputable plus in resting on the Canary Islands – excellent transport links have been established between them, so during your vacation you can visit all seven islands at once. For example, fans of a big ocean wave and free wind should look at the island of Fuerteventura, which is gaining more and more popularity among tourists from all over the world. Gomera Island is considered the greenest place in the archipelago, and the smallest island of the Canary archipelago – Hierro – has almost no beaches, but famous thermal springs are located here.

Playa el Duque, Tenerife

There are several beaches in Costa Adeje and the surrounding area that are free to visit.

All of the beaches in Costa Adeje are public, so everyone gets free access.

Because hotels are not permitted by Spanish law to obstruct access to a beach, there are no private beaches on the island.

Forget about eating in a hotel, where the cuisine is nearly always the same and is made to be just okay for everyone’s taste.

Instead, go for a walk in Costa Adeje, and search for traditional Canarian dishes in local eateries.

In this scenario, the guideline is simple: avoid the seashore and first line near the sea.

The further you get away from the shore, the cheaper the costs are, and the cuisine is typically better.

Look where the people are dining – that’ll be the spot to go if experiencing local cuisine is on your list of things to do in Costa Adeje.

Grilled fresh goat cheese, goat meat in garlic sauce, rabbit in garlic sauce, shellfish, notably octopus, and, of course, papas arrugadas – salted Canary potatoes cooked in the skin and served with traditional Canary sauces – are all local Canary dishes.

The Top Things to See and Do in Costa Adeje

2 August 2021

Tourists have been flocking to the resort of Costa Adeje for as long as Tenerife has been a holiday destination – and it’s easy to see why. It has some of the island’s best beaches, a wide selection of activities and plenty of family-friendly fun – but there’s more to this lively beach resort than boozy bars and Playa de las Américas. You can climb the towering Mount Teide, swim with sea turtles at Playa del Puertito and float along the world’s longest lazy river at Siam Water Park. Here’s a rundown of the most entertaining ways to spend your time in this popular resort.

Ascend Mount Teide

Natural Feature

There are two main routes to the top of Spain’s highest peak, the 3,715 metre-high Teide volcano. Either take the cable car from the Base Station to the Upper Station – an eight-minute cruise over Tenerife’s spiky volcanic landscapes – and walk the remaining 614 metres. Alternatively, for more of a challenge you can hike all the way from Montaña Blanca to the top of the crater, a total distance of 8.3km (5.2mi). Either way, you’ll need a free permit from the National Park authorities.

Shop at Plaza del Duque

Shopping Mall

Plaza del Duque is Tenerife’s premier shopping centre, a shiny, circular complex of clothing and accessory outlets, cafes and restaurants, set just back from the beach of the same name. As well as brands including Hackett, Boss and Desigual, there’s a supermarket selling freshly baked bread and pastries, and a kiosk-sized establishment specialising in tobacco and liquor. When you’re done, head to Creperia for an omelette, or to Premium Cafe and Lounge for a cocktail or glass of wine.

Swim with sea turtles at Playa del Puertito

Natural Feature

If you’re fed up with the crowds, explore the unspoilt cove of Playa del Puertito, where it’ll be just you and the turtles – and possibly a few locals, who like to camp here overnight in the summer. Swim out past the fishing boats to the clear waters beyond, where you’ll find a resident group of these friendly creatures, who won’t mind your presence or being photographed. Other marine wildlife to admire while you’re swimming includes bull rays, butterfly rays, trumpet fish and crabs.

Tuck into seafood at La Masia del Mar

Restaurant, Seafood

For some of the best seafood in Tenerife, book a table at La Caleta’s family-run La Masia del Mar. From a terrace overlooking the bay and its bobbing boats, sample the restaurant’s speciality dishes, which include zarzuela (a crowded seafood casserole made with squid, mussels, prawns, cod and monkfish) and grilled lobster – choose a live one from the tank. Equally delicious are their homemade desserts, especially the Canarian quesillo, one of the islands’ most traditional sweets.

Spot constellations in Teide National Park

Tenerife is one of the world’s top three spots for stargazing, along with Hawaii and Chile. Its Teide National Park operators run several tours focusing on the island’s teeming night skies, including after-dark cable car excursions led by astronomers and sunset expeditions to Pico Viejo, the 800 metre-diameter crater just beneath Teide. Best of all, though, are the trips to the Tenerife Observatory – the largest solar observatory in the world, where you’ll watch solar flares and step inside massive nocturnal telescopes.

Go whale watching

Architectural Landmark

Over 20 species of whale – including the pilot, sperm, orca and minke varieties – regularly visit Tenerife’s waters, and some are spottable off the Costa Adeje all year round. Whale-watching boat tours depart from Puerto Colon, offering commentary by expert guides, snorkels for off-board jaunts and underwater microphones so you can listen to the mammals communicating with each other. If you’re setting sail with kids, book yourself on one of the Viking-themed outings.

Hike through Hell’s Canyon

Natural Feature

Grab your camera, set off early and head to Barranco del Infierno (Hell’s Canyon). This walk is hellish in name only, as this perfectly civilised, three-hour hike isn’t too challenging and offers spectacular views. Only 300 people per day are allowed to enter to protect the area, so booking is advised – as is bringing plenty of water. If you’re lucky, you might spot a booted eagle, but if not, you can take a selfie in the hard hat that comes with your entry fee. Guided tours are also available.

Take a Tuk Tuk Tour

Architectural Landmark

One of the best ways to explore the Costa Adeje is in a tuk tuk, a three-wheel, open-air motorbike driven by a local guide. Itineraries normally begin and finish in Puerto Colon and take in key sights such as Plaza and Playa del Duque, Duque Castle and Playa de la Enramada as well as the village of La Caleta and its 16th-century San Sebastian church – one of the oldest religious buildings on Tenerife. While zipping around Colon harbour, ask your guide to point out their favourite restaurants.

Splash about at Siam Water Park

Market, Park, Shop

Prepare to hold onto your swimsuit at Siam Water Park, one of the world’s best waterparks. Boasting the world’s largest man-made waves – reaching 3m (10 feet) – and the world’s longest and highest lazy river, there’s plenty to wear you out at this Thai-themed water park. Suspend your disbelief for a moment and pretend you’re in Thailand for the day: indulge in Thai food from the restaurants and shop at the floating Thai market. You may need to build up your courage before hurling yourself down the Tower of Power, an almost vertical slide that shoots you through a shark tank.

the tourist paradise in southern Tenerife

Adeje, the fifth most-populated municipality in Tenerife and one of the main tourist resorts in the south, was once the court of the ancient Guanche kingdom before the island was colonised. It was the residence of the last Guanche king or mencey, Tinerfe ‘the Great’, before the island was divided up into nine menceyatos (kingdoms). The name Adeje itself is a Guanche word meaning ‘mountain range’. Who among those Guanches would have thought that the small mountain village would end up expanding towards the coast, in the mid-twentieth century, to become a tourist paradise? In addition to the magnificent beaches of Costa Adeje, where you can also enjoy a water park and whale watching tours, the town boasts interesting historical heritage and spectacular natural spaces such as the Barranco del Infierno ravine and the Caldera del Rey crater. Read on for a lowdown on what to see in Adeje.

Costa Adeje: 14 beaches, water parks, golf and scuba diving
With almost 300 days of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of 24 degrees, Costa Adeje—situated some seven kilometres from the town—is a tourist paradise with 26 kilometres of coastline and up to 14 beaches and coves. Choose between wide and busy beaches with all imaginable services, such as Playa de Troya, Playa del Duque, Playa de Fañabé, Playa de Torviscas and Playa de La Pinta, or, opt for more isolated and secluded coves, such as Playa Los Morteros and Playa Las Salinas, among others.

Free cancellation

In Costa Adeje you will find everything you need to relax and enjoy yourself, from five-star hotels and modern shopping centres to various entertainment and leisure options. If you like golf, be sure to visit the enormous Costa Adeje Golf Club, which boasts 18 holes with views of the ocean and a luxurious restaurant. Scuba diving is another of Adeje’s strong points: its beautiful coastline inhabited by over 500 species of fish and marine animals attracts hundreds of visitors who flock to its many dive centres. Another very popular activity among tourists is going to see the colonies of cetaceans that live in the waters. Just jump on board one of the boats or catamarans that go out on whale watching excursions for an unforgettable experience spotting pilot whales and dolphins just a few metres away from you.

Finally, in Siam Park get ready for a refreshing day of fun and adrenaline at the best water park in the world, according to TripAdvisor. Decorated in a Thai theme, the park holds various records, such as having the tallest artificial wave in the world and an innovative water roller coaster.

The Barranco del Infierno ravine and the Caldera del Rey crater
Adeje is situated in a beautiful landscape of great geological importance and almost 50% of its territory is composed of protected natural spaces. Among these, of particular note is the Barranco del Infierno Ravine Special Nature Reserve, where you can embark on a classic hike through a strange landscape of deep gorges, waterfalls and caves where the Guanches once lived.

Another one of the most visited natural spaces is the Caldera del Rey, a phreatomagmatic crater spanning 180 hectares that formed from the intense explosions that occurred when magma came into contact with the ocean. It is one of the three best examples of this type of volcanism in Tenerife. These days, bananas are cultivated within the crater and it is also home to two local families.

The town of Adeje: the Church of Santa Úrsula, Casa Fuerte and other places of interest
As previously mentioned, the town of Adeje has a long history that dates back to the times of Guanche hegemony prior to the island’s conquest. For that reason, the town has extensive historic and artistic heritage with various Assets of Cultural Interest that are well worth a visit. Among them is the beautiful Plaza de España, a traditional meeting point that boasts a large bell tower in honour of forbearers, and the church Iglesia de Santa Úrsula, which was built on the site of a primitive sixteenth-century hermitage that the first lord of Adeje, Pedro de Ponte y Vergara, ordered to be built.

The same nobleman is also responsible for the construction, in 1556, of Casa Fuerte [Fort House], a fortified residence on the edge of the village built to defend his properties from the frequent pirate attacks that Adeje suffered from. Although it was devoured by a fire in 1902, it’s worth a visit to view its ruins, located at a strategic point from where you can see the Barranco del Infierno ravine trail.

Be sure not to miss a visit to the rural hamlet of Taucho, a unique example of local architecture that has had to adapt to the steep terrain—it stands at an altitude of almost 900 metres—in order to plant crops.

Restaurants in Adeje: small culinary temples
Adeje’s cuisine uses a recurring series of ingredients from the region that have defined local gastronomy, which was very limited in its resources over centuries. At the Adeje Farmers’ Market you can buy local produce such as gofio (Canarian flour made from toasted grains), goat cheese, Canary Island bananas, honey, and a wide variety of volcanic wines directly from farmers and artisans.

At lunch, if you fancy sampling fish and seafood dishes, we recommend heading to the area of La Caleta, where there are various restaurants along the seaside promenade offering delicious traditional dishes, such as sancocho canario (a kind of stew based on salted fish, sweet potato and parsley), cazuela de pescado (fish stew) and vieja guisada con papas arrugadas (Mediterranean parrotfish served with ‘wrinkled’ potatoes).

Since Adeje is a mountain village, it also boasts hearty traditional meat dishes and stews. In the upper neighbourhoods—Taucho, La Quinta, Los Menores, etc.—you can find local restaurants serving specialities such as conejo al salmorejo (rabbit cooked with paprika and garlic), carne fiesta (meat marinated with different spices and white wine), ropa vieja (literally, ‘old clothes’; traditionally made using up leftovers—cooking stock, chick peas, potatoes, and shredded beef) and rancho canario (a hearty winter meat and pasta stew).

What to do in Adeje

1. Playa del Duque: Possibly the No.1 Beach on the Island

Playa del Duque is one of the best beaches in southern Tenerife. Located on Costa Adeje, it is backed by a high-quality, premium resort area. Here you’ll find lots of upscale hotels and leisure facilities. There are also plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés offering tapas, international cuisine and traditional Canarian food, so you’ll have lots of opportunities for refreshments. Afterwards, you can take a stroll along the promenade, which runs the length of the beach, or do some shopping in the stylish boutiques along the front. Playa del Duque itself boasts a Blue Flag in recognition of its clean water and excellent facilities which include showers, changing areas, sun loungers and parasols.

2. El Teide: Climb an Active Volcano!

At 12,198 feet, El Teide is Spain’s highest mountain and the surrounding National Park is the most visited natural site in Spain. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the landscape of craters and lava flows is truly unique. Teide is still an active volcano and towards the summit you will find a restaurant that uses the geothermal heat to cook your food. You can climb the peak on foot or opt to ride a camel or take a cable car. The views from the summit are simply stunning but remember that it can be a lot colder up there than down on the beach!

3. Siam Water Park: One of the Best in the World

Siam Water Park is widely regarded as one of the world’s best. Its attractions are divided into different areas for relaxation, such as the Mai Thai River and the Siam Beach, family attractions like Naga Racer and Jungle Snake and also more extreme attractions for the adrenaline junkie. These include the awesome Tower of Power and the fearsome Volcano. There are plenty of restaurants and there’s lots of space to lie back and unwind after your adventures on the slides.

4. Playa del Bobo: The Beach of Black Sand

Playa del Bobo is one of the oldest beaches on the Costa Adeje. It’s a central town beach, just 10 minutes from Guaguas Station and easily accessible from all of Adeje’s tourist and resort areas. It’s very kid-friendly and features black sand. There are plenty of shops and bars along the beach. Watersports are not allowed here, so the beach is a safe and peaceful place to enjoy a swim. It is also well protected by water breaks from the big waves.

5. La Gomera: Get Away from it All

La Gomera is the second smallest of the seven Canary Islands and one of the most magical. In contrast to the bigger islands, La Gomera is a quiet, relaxing place that is just like going back in time. There are sleepy mountain villages, near-deserted beaches and ravines that look untouched by man. The island’s airport runway is too short for commercial jets, so you’ll probably arrive by ferry, which is an experience in itself. With dramatic scenery, quiet resorts and a slower pace of life, La Gomera is an ideal spot for a relaxing break.

ALL HOTELS IN THE RESORT

Costa Adeje stretches with gray sandy beaches along the western coast of the Spanish island of Tenerife. Families with small children especially like beaches of Costa Adeje – soft sand, gentle entry into the water, breakwaters guaranteeing moderate waves. The best are Torviscas, Playa del Duque (white sand) and Playa de Fanabe. The latter, together with the beaches of Troy I and Troy II, receives the EU Blue Flags almost every year.

A chain of respectable hotels stretches along the Costa Adeje promenade. More affordable hotels and apartments are located a little further from the beaches.

The resort is located 20 minutes drive from Tenerife South Airport and is adjacent to the youth Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos. However, you will probably choose an excursion to Playa de Las Americas only at the end of your vacation, because in Costa Adeje you will have something to do!

What to do in Costa Adeje:

be sure to go to the Hell’s Gorge Reserve – 4 hours in the most beautiful natural places

take the child to the Aqualand water park, and if you are without children, go yourself

climb to the top of Roco del Conde and see the panorama of two islands at once – Gran Canaria and La Gomera

see sights of Costa Adeje : Church of St. Ursula, a monastery of the late 17th century, closed to tourists house Casa Fuerte and open – Casa del Duque

go on a sea excursion – watch pilot whales and whales

learn to dive in one of the centers

play golf

place a bet at a local casino

If you have managed everything from this list, your vacation in Costa Adeje can be called completed.

Costa Adeje in Tenerife. Attractions, photos, position on the map

Costa Adeje – the largest and main resort of Tenerife stretches along the southern part of the island for more than six kilometers. The resort is a single whole, but if desired, it can be divided into two parts. The first of them is the surroundings of the Hesperia Troja Hotel. Along the channel, located near the hotel, water descends from the mountains and it is along the vanishing line that the border between the two sections of Costa Adeje is determined. The second part is located to the west of the riverbed. Thus, if you stand facing the island, and with your back to the ocean, Playa de las Americas will stretch in the west.

Family holidays on the beaches of Costa Adeje

Costa Adeje is perfect for a family holiday in a relaxed atmosphere. The farther away from the western, noisy neighbor Playa de las Americas, the calmer. At the farthest western point of the resort, near the luxurious beach of Playa del Duque, the rest will cost the most. It is here that the most luxurious hotels are located, including the famous Bahia Del Duc. Surely this hotel will be one of the best places you have ever stayed. The only problem is the number of zeros in your final score. Despite the prestige of recreation in this region, the infrastructure in the area of this hotel is quite poor. The only entertainment is the Plaza Del Duc. In the absence of affordable, shopping and entertainment facilities, this place will come in handy.

In the zone of visibility of the beach del Duc, it is easy to find two large capes that visually separate it from the largest beach of Costa Adeje – Fanabe. This place is wildly popular among tourists, and at the peak of the season the beach resembles the Sochi coast of the Soviet period, when there is no way to set foot and step so as not to hurt one of the vacationers. True, the contingent of vacationers itself contrasts sharply with other beaches of this resort. As a rule, the streets are empty early and after dinner you can meet on the street, perhaps, not the most sober Englishmen or lost Russians.

Tourist infrastructure Costa Adeje

Tourist infrastructure in Costa Adeje is quite rich and widely represented by a large number of small shops, shops and small cafes. The assortment here is purely touristic, the price range is minimal, and the goods are easily guessed. It is unlikely that you will find here any exotic curiosity, found only in Tenerife. And you won’t try the real cuisine of the Canary Islands either. Pay attention to the small village of La Caleta, which is three kilometers from Playa del Duc. There you can always buy the freshest seafood and walk along the beautiful coastline. Here in Fañaba you will find decent Bs, decent apartment options and a great mid-range vacation.

Beaches of Costa Adeje

Moving on. After the Fañabe beach, which is gigantic by local standards, the neighboring de Puerto Colon will seem chamber and miniature. This place is famous for its cheap and very tasty cuisine, many great bars, as well as dozens of noisy promoters and barkers. It is difficult to pass by and not go to each of the establishments, but it is better to control yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to “survive” until the evening. Unless, pay attention to the El Faro disco, famous in all Tenerife. Despite the fact that this is a favorite place among the Russian-speaking public, this place is quite decent. But do not think that Puerto Colona is a driving, crazy and purely party place. People here, nevertheless, go to bed and do not walk at night and do not sing songs. This is not a nursing home, of course, but not Ibiza either. In the evening, there are a large number of local Frank Sinatra and Elvises on the streets, and each of them will offer an unforgettable musical evening and only for you.

How to get to the hotel

The soft sand of Costa Adeje ends and to get to the hotel h20 Gran Tenerife you will have to go through a rocky area. But the path will not tire you at all, especially since you can always take a break, for example, in a very unusual restaurant located right on the rock. Sitting at one of the tables, you can admire the incredibly beautiful view of the Las Americas beach. We sat down, drank a little orange fresh on the road and hit the road again. Moreover, there are only a few hundred meters left to the hotel, and inside Gran Tenerife there is the only casino in the southern part of the island. Hurry up or someone else will hit the jackpot.

Exactly on the border of the two resorts stretches the most green street in the area. We saw the sign “Veronicas Street”, feel free to move in the given direction. Unless, of course, you came to Tenerife to have a good time at night and wake up far after dinner. There are a lot of cheap apartments in the Veronicas area, which means that the area will be saturated with drunk, young Englishmen. A great way to improve your English, but also a great opportunity to kill your own liver.

Let’s summarize a little. If you have come for a relaxing, family vacation – you have a direct road to Costa Adeje, if your vacation involves a less strict program – go to Las Americas. In the west of Costa Adeje you will have a great vacation, but you will lose a lot of cash. Quiet, tasty, but expensive, and there is nothing special to do. When staying in Fañaba, expect an excellent beach, mid-range hotels, noisy shopping streets and quiet, summer evenings. Heading to the Puerto Colon area, get ready for almost round-the-clock noisy fun, cheerful British neighbors and the absence of puritanical moods. If you like water attractions, you will find them a little off the coast, just behind the motorway. The popular water parks Aqualand and Siam Park are located there.

PUERTO COLON YACHT CLUB

If you are a happy owner of a yacht or just about to take your first steps in this direction, you will not find a better place than a yacht club in the Puerto Colon area. There is only one question: if the owners of yachts are really happy people, then why is there a sign on every second yacht: “for sale”?

In Puerto Colon there is a large concentration of a wide variety of vessels: from simple pleasure boats to almost combat destroyers. In any case, people who do not understand yachts take fashionable floating substances, at least for warships. It is not necessary to be Roman Abramovich to feel like a real owner of a house on the water. You can rent a yacht or whatever floats there, and then add a little imagination and go full speed ahead. Here you can fulfill one more of your old dreams and do sea fishing.

If the word “port” confuses you in advance, then relax. Here – in Puerto Colon – you will not find giant rusty barges or oil tankers. They just don’t fit in here. This is a small bay designed for medium-sized swimming units. All of them are environmentally friendly and do not harm their owners, tourists and the surrounding southern nature. Moreover, they perfectly complement the local landscape and serve as an additional decoration of the landscape.

Puerto Colon is considered one of the most beautiful ports not only in Tenerife, but in all of continental Spain. It is clean, beautiful and most importantly – you can touch everything. This is especially difficult to resist and certainly, it is simply impossible to refuse a couple of great shots. You just need to carefully climb onto one of the yachts, say cheese, and remain in the long memory of descendants. Or you can brag to your friends by telling how you bought a small yacht during your vacation. And since it did not fit in the luggage of the plane, you just left it in the port of Puerto Colon until the next vacation.

How to get to Puerto Colon? – Easy peasy!

From the northern airport located at a distance of 85 kilometers you will quickly and comfortably get on route 343. Just don’t forget to change trains in Santa Cruz.

The bus station can be easily found by its recognizable pictogram. It is located on the very border of Las Americas and Costa Adeje.
The island has an excellent road infrastructure that connects two airports with the capital of Tenerife and the resort of Costa Adeje.

San Cristóbal de La Laguna

Outstanding Universal Value

Brief synthesis

San Cristóbal de La Laguna is located on the Island of Tenerife, part of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands in Spain. It was founded in the late 15th century on an inland plateau 550 m above sea level next to an insalubrious lagoon. The property includes two original town centres each belonging to a different time of history: the so-called Upper Town is the initial founding site next to the lagoon, and has an unplanned urban structure; and the Lower Town, one kilometre to the East, which is designed on a grid. It is the first ideal territory-town, being designed according to philosophical principles and Royal regulations, organized around a founding square known as Plaza del Adelantado.

Of the 1470 buildings at San Cristóbal de La Laguna, 627 public and private classified buildings are preserved. Of the set of the classified buildings, 361 were built between the 16th and 18th centuries and belong to the so-called Mudéjar architecture, 96 are from the 19th century, and 170 are from the first half of the 20th century. Currently, its heritage architecture represents significant instances of the Mudéjar, Neoclassical, Modernist, Rationalist, and Contemporary architecture that have remained alive and active until now.

San Cristóbal de La Laguna is the first example of an unfortified town with a grid model that was the direct precursor of the settlements in the Americas under Spanish rule during colonial times. The Castilians founded 8 such grid-plan towns on the Canary Islands. They were founded “ex novo”, i.e. on un-built ground, and the town was a political means for the colonization and appropriation of the territory. It is that very philosophy that was transferred to the Americas.

San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a living example of the exchange of influences between the European culture and the American culture, with which it has been maintaining constant links. In the late 15th century and the first years of 16th century, the Canary Islands, and specifically San Cristóbal de La Laguna, became a laboratory of cultural experimentation and the first “Americas”. The Canary Islands were a forerunner of America, playing the role of a giver and receiver, and being a melting pot of cultures, which resulted in an indubitable fusion of the contribution of the pre-conquest indigenous people (in ethnographic features and traditional culture) and those from Portuguese, Castilian, and Mudéjar architecture and town-planning. Moreover, inside that religious architecture, a furnishing heritage (sculptures, paintings, gold and silver articles, textiles, sumptuary objects, and furniture) is preserved, which also testifies to a cultural interchange with the Hispanic, Portuguese, North-European (especially Flemish), Italian, and American spheres.

Criterion (ii): San Cristóbal de La Laguna exhibits the signs of an interchange of influences between the European and Hispano-Portuguese and American cultures, with which a constant link on the human, cultural, and socio-economic levels has been maintained. Ibero-America is ever-present at San Cristóbal de La Laguna, not only in its grid plan and Plaza del Adelantado (the founding square), but also in its churches, cloisters, and the civil architecture, which are the siblings of American ones.

Criterion (iv): San Cristóbal de La Laguna was the first non-fortified Spanish colonial town, and its layout provided the model for many colonial towns in the Americas. It is outstanding in its planning as a territory-town, and is the first instance of an unfortified Hispanic town designed and built in a complete project as a space for the organization of a new social order. Since its founding, it has remained a living urban area, in which all the trends, tastes, and styles of each historical period have been expressed, illustrating the first transit point of the Hispanic culture towards the Americas in a two-way cultural interchange that continues until today.

Integrity

The property’s surface area is 60.38 ha with a buffer zone of 229.77 ha; its original plan and layout, dating back to the 15th century has remained intact since its creation. The property is a living historic town, corresponding to the historical centre of the old town, which is now included inside the modern town. San Cristóbal de La Laguna exhibits a very well preserved, extraordinarily homogeneous town structure, in which the religious, institutional, and residential buildings coexist on the original map design in perfect harmony.A great number of architectural instances representative of its traditional town structure stand out, and its furniture heritage shows the kind of relations it has maintained throughout its history. Furthermore, the original layout still exhibits a relationship between the colonial town layout that is typical of the concept of a territory-town and the architecture of Mudéjar and other types, of which more than 600 instances are classified and preserved: religious buildings (churches, hermitages, cloisters) and civil buildings.

Authenticity

With its history of more than five centuries, San Cristóbal de La Laguna is the result of a type of town dynamics that contain a continuous process of superimposition of historical trends. The town has been evolving since its founding more than 500 years ago and has retained conditions of authenticity in its street pattern, its open spaces, and its monuments, which still preserve a visible time continuity. The authenticity of its urban structure can be demonstrated through a comparative analysis of the current cartography against its historical equivalent. In terms of detail, the authenticity is high. Original facades survive in large numbers, providing an authentic historic streetscape, which demonstrates the diverse origins of the town’s architecture. Its “transmitted architecture,” combining Islamic and European elements, is original and authentic. It also played a very significant role in the development of architecture in the Spanish New World.

Finally, San Cristobal de La Laguna retains much of its traditional trade, which has been adapted to current needs without losing its authenticity. Furthermore, the immaterial heritage in San Cristóbal de La Laguna is intimately linked to the heritage produced through the customs and religious ceremonies.

Protection and management requirements

The inscribed property is part of the larger 83 ha area classified as Property of Cultural Interest (BIC, Bien de Interés Cultural), under the Historical Ensemble category. The Historical Ensemble of San Cristóbal de La Laguna benefits from a Special Protection Plan in accordance with the 1999 Canarian Laws on Historical Heritage and the Spanish legal regulations, and requires consensus of all the political parties of the Town Council. The Special Protection Plan was devised as a Strategic Management Plan that ensures the protection as a result of urban revitalisation processes. Its four strategic lines of action state that the Historical Ensemble must be a high-quality inhabited and, accessible area with economic opportunities. The Management Office, which is a “one-stop shop”, is the main agency through which the inhabitants address procedures within the Historical Ensemble. Moreover, the Historical Ensemble Management Office devotes two days per week to citizens’ consultation. Each of the 627 classified buildings benefits from an individually written Specific Ordinance of Preservation that details all the elements that must be conserved during interventions. A large number of minor and major planning permissions, commercial licenses and implementation orders are treated in order to address the problem of ruins and bad conservation. Furthermore, measures are taken to attract more residents to the Historical Ensemble.

The Town Council will continue with the implementation of the Special Protection Plan through its Management Office. Management and conservation actions will be focused on policies to increase and consolidate the number of permanent residents in the property, on extending town quality to surrounding areas through the regeneration of public spaces and restoration of buildings, and on ordinances for civic co-existence in order to reconcile inhabitants’ needs with commercial and leisure activities.

Reservar tour

San Cristóbal de La Laguna es la ciudad más grande de Tenerife y la única de toda la isla declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Esta histórica villa fue fundada en 1497 por el adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo, quien escogió una ciudad de interior para evitar los ataques de los piratas por la costa. Así, La Laguna fue la primera capital de Tenerife y concentró todo el poder de la isla.

Visitar La Laguna es viajar a la época de mayor esplendor de la historia de Tenerife. Las calles empedradas perfectamente alineadas sirvieron de modelo para el diseño urbanístico de las ciudades coloniales en América. La Laguna ha mantenido su trazado original del siglo XV.

En 1927 abrió en La Laguna la primera universidad de las islas Canarias. Desde entonces, el ambiente universitario y juvenil de La Laguna ha sido la principal seña de identidad de la ciudad.

Aunque la capital se trasladó a Santa Cruz en 1833, el desarrollo de La Laguna ha sido imparable. Hoy en día, alberga numerosos edificios palaciegos, tiendas y restaurantes, y el aeropuerto Tenerife Norte.

Qué ver en La Laguna

Catedral de San Cristóbal

El edificio más representativo de La Laguna es la Catedral de San Cristóbal. En su interior descansan los restos del conquistador y fundador de la ciudad Alonso Fernández de Lugo. La cúpula de la Catedral de San Cristóbal se puede ver desde prácticamente todos los puntos de La Laguna.

La Laguna | Tenerife

La Laguna is a meeting place where modern minds and young students gather around the first university in the Canary Islands. The pedestrian streets in the city centre are always bustling with life, street musicians and hundreds of taverns, restaurants and bars. In addition to the retail therapy you will find in its great shops full of vintage items and fashion labels hot off the catwalk, it is nice to simply explore the churches, mansions and historic buildings that make this old and dazzling city a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna lies in north-east Tenerife, in-between the Anaga mountain range and the slopes of La Esperanza. Most of the city stands at an altitude of roughly 600 m (1,970 ft), with the highest point being Cruz de Taborno, 1,020 m (3,350 ft) above sea level. The coastal part of the municipality in the north covers the farmland regions of Tejina and Valle de Guerra, as well as the tourist destinations of Bajamar and Punta del Hidalgo. By contrast, in Anaga you will find little hamlets such as El Batán and Las Carboneras. Covering a vast open area in the middle of the municipality is San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. La Laguna was the first unwalled colonial city and still preserves its original 15th century layout almost intact. In fact, this layout was used as a model for building many other colonial cities in America. Its streets, with their fantastic shopping atmosphere, gastronomy and leisure, are also full of monuments and historic buildings.

The Guanche name for the area on which La Laguna stands was Aguere, and that term is sometimes still used to refer to the municipality. It is also known as the City of the Adelantados, as this is where the Adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo and his family settled. After the conquest of Tenerife, La Laguna became the Island’s first capital city, turning it into the heart of political, financial and cultural power on the archipelago. The first plan of the city on record was drawn by the Italian engineer Leonardo Torriani in 1588. San Cristóbal de La Laguna currently bears the honorary titles of Noble, Loyal and Faithful city, and is also known as the Illustrious Historic City of San Cristóbal de La Laguna.

The University of La Laguna is one of the most emblematic institutions in the municipality and is, of course, a sign of the city’s cultural relevance. Tenerife’s first airport – Tenerife North – is also here, in the area known as Los Rodeos on the outskirts. The airport is well connected to the rest of the archipelago, and also links up to various destinations in Spain and abroad. Its location near to the capital and to the tourist area of Puerto de la Cruz is a great advantage.

The coast of San Cristóbal de La Laguna has a series of lovely natural swimming pools and rock pools in Punta del Hidalgo, with a modern lighthouse nearby. The nearby town of Bajamar also has large bathing areas, making it a popular place among the locals and tourists for a leisurely day by the sea.

The main advantage of the historic quarter of La Laguna is that its wealth of heritage is nicely packed together in a relatively small space because of the city’s past and the way it has evolved. This makes it easy to cover on a leisurely walking tour starting from Plaza del Adelantado to see the beautiful buildings that surround it, such as the house of Casa de Anchieta, the Palacio de Nava and the monastery of Santa Catalina de Siena, as well as the City Hall. Continue your tour along Calle de la Carrera, which is one of the city’s original streets, to discover the houses of Casa del Corregidor, La Alhóndiga and Los Capitanes. The walk goes on past shops, cafés and restaurants to reach the Cathedral of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which is well worthy of visiting thanks to its wealth of artistic heritage. Next up is the square and church of La Concepción, whose steeple stands proudly over the city. Near the square is Calle de Herradores, a street that is full of traditional Canarian architecture, as well as Calle de San Agustín, where visitors will see the houses of Los Jesuitas, Montañéz and Salazar.

Other noteworthy buildings include Palacio de Lercaro, which houses the Tenerife History Museum; the church and hospital of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores; the ruins of the church of San Agustín; and the Canary Islands Institute. If this tour seems a little too short, feel free to carry on around the nearby streets where there are plenty of other interesting buildings such as Casa de Ossuna and the palace house of Rodríguez de Azero. Another must on your tour is the Royal Sanctuary of Santísimo Cristo, one of the most worshipped figures in the Canary Islands.The City Council of La Laguna organises regular free guided tours around the city, with guides who will show you the sights and help you understand the municipality’s valuable heritage.

Approved trails in the municipality

San Cristóbal de La Laguna has various approved trails crossing its lush hillsides. Route PR – TF 10 Cruz del Carmen – Punta del Hidalgo, for instance, journeys down from the Visitor Centre to the coastal area of Punta del Hidalgo and is recommended only for more experienced hikers as it covers approximately 10 km (6.2 miles) and takes about four hours. The route goes through the hamlets of Chinamada and Las Carboneras. Another much shorter and easier trail that also explores these two hamlets is the PR –TF 10.1 Las Escaleras – Las Carboneras – Chinamada.

Located on the mountain ridge, Cordillera Dorsal, this forest is often bathed in mists that give the wooded landscape an ethereal feel. This is in large part due to the clouds of the trade winds which stick to the mountains, leaving the trapped moisture to envelop the area. Whether it’s just a stroll for those moving at a leisurely pace or a hike for the outdoorsy, a stop off at the Bosque de Esperanza is an absolute must. The forest’s micro-climate means there is a rich diversity of vegetation!

However, following, after the Spanish conquest of Tenerife, the Spaniards set up their own settlement in the area in 1496 which served as the island’s capital until 1723.

Due to this unraveling of events, the town features two historical centers, each pertaining to a different time in history. The so-called La Laguna’s Upper Town is the town center of the original settlement located next to the lagoon and has a lovely unplanned urban structure. The Lower Town, sitting 1 kilometer to the east, was designed upholding philosophical principles and Royal regulations. It is the first example of an unfortified grid-model town which centers around the founding square, Plaza del Adelantado. The plan was so successful; the Spanish used it as a universal model for their colonial cities in the New World including Lima, Oaxaca, and Havana.

However, architecture enthusiasts are not the only one who will the place fascinating. What to do in La Laguna? Well, firstly, the town offers a perfect escape from the unbearable heat of summer. It sits at a higher elevation than Santa Cruz. Hence, the climate is noticeably cooler than other towns and villages. The freshness does come in handy in the height of broiling summer sun! Besides, you can explore museums, art galleries, surrounding countryside, or simply chill in the ever-bustling bars, restaurants. If you stay for the night, the city’s nightlife won’t disappoint either. Browse the page to find more things to do in La Laguna.

La Laguna | Tenerife

La Laguna es un lugar de encuentro de gente moderna y jóvenes estudiantes alrededor de su universidad, la primera de Canarias. Las calles peatonales del centro están siempre llenas de vida, con músicos callejeros y cientos de tascas, restaurantes y bares. Más allá de visitas a sus tiendas, con suntuosos artículos vintage o ropa de moda vanguardista, resulta muy reconfortante conocer las iglesias, casonas y edificios históricos de esta ciudad antigua y deslumbrante declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.

El término municipal de San Cristóbal de La Laguna se sitúa al noreste de Tenerife, entre el macizo de Anaga y el monte de La Esperanza. Ubicado a una altitud aproximada de 600 metros, su mayor elevación se encuentra en Cruz de Taborno, a 1.020 metros sobre el nivel del mar. En su costa, en el norte del municipio, se localizan las comarcas agrícolas de Tejina y Valle de Guerra, pero también los centros turísticos de Bajamar y Punta del Hidalgo. En Anaga destacan los caseríos de El Batán o Las Carboneras, entre otros asentamientos rurales. En el centro del municipio, en una extensa vega, se alza la ciudad de San Cristóbal de La Laguna, declarada Bien Cultural y Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1999. Fue la primera ciudad colonial sin murallas que conserva prácticamente intacto su trazado original del siglo XV, que sirvió de modelo para muchas ciudades coloniales en América. Sus calles, marcadas por una atractiva actividad comercial, gastronómica y de ocio, están llenas de monumentos y edificios históricos.

El nombre guanche de la zona sobre la que se asienta La Laguna era Aguere, término que aún se utiliza hoy en día para referirse al municipio. También es conocida como la Ciudad de los Adelantados, ya que en ella residieron el Adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo y sus descendientes. Tras la conquista de Tenerife, La Laguna fue la primera capital de la isla, lo que la convirtió en el centro del poder político, económico y cultural del archipiélago. El primer plano que se conserva de la ciudad fue realizado por el ingeniero italiano Leonardo Torriani y data de 1588. San Cristóbal de La Laguna ostenta actualmente los títulos de Muy Noble, Leal, Fiel y de Ilustre Historia Ciudad de San Cristóbal de La Laguna.

La Universidad de La Laguna es una de las instituciones más emblemáticas de este municipio, y una muestra de la importancia cultural de la ciudad. En sus afueras, en la zona conocida como Los Rodeos, se encuentra también el primer aeropuerto de Tenerife conocido actualmente como Tenerife Norte. Este aeropuerto cuenta con buenas conexiones al resto del archipiélago, así como a diferentes puntos de la Península y del extranjero. Además, su cercanía a la capital y a la zona turística de el Puerto de la Cruz son ventajas con las que cuenta por su ubicación.

En la costa de San Cristóbal de La Laguna destacan los charcos y piscinas naturales de Punta del Hidalgo, junto a las que se ubica un moderno faro. La localidad vecina de Bajamar también dispone de amplias zonas de baño que la sitúan como una de las zonas de descanso favoritas tanto entre laguneros como entre los turistas.

La principal ventaja del casco histórico de La Laguna es que su rico patrimonio se encuentra concentrado en un espacio muy reducido, debido a la propia historia y evolución de la ciudad. Es fácil recorrerlo con una ruta peatonal que comience en la plaza del Adelantado, donde el visitante podrá conocer los valiosos edificios que la rodean, como la Casa de Anchieta, el palacio de Nava o el monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena, sin olvidar el edificio del Ayuntamiento. Al proseguir por la calle de la Carrera, que forma parte del trazado original de la ciudad, se descubren las casas del Corregidor, de la Alhóndiga y la de los Capitanes. El paseo continúa entre comercios, cafeterías y restaurantes, hasta llegar a la Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Laguna, que merece un alto en el camino por su interesante patrimonio artístico. La siguiente parada sería la plaza y la iglesia de la Concepción, cuya torre preside la ciudad. Cerca de la plaza se encuentra la calle de Herradores, con interesantes muestras de arquitectura tradicional canaria, y la calle de San Agustín, donde el paseo llevará al visitante a descubrir las casas de los Jesuitas, Montañéz y de Salazar.

Destacan los edificios del Palacio de Lercaro, que acoge el Museo de Historia de Tenerife; la iglesia y hospital de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, a la iglesia de San Agustín, actualmente en ruinas, y el Instituto de Canarias. Si la ruta resultara demasiado breve, nada mejor que pasear por las calles adyacentes, en las que se ubican edificios de gran valor como la casa de Ossuna o el palacete Rodríguez de Azero. Una parada obligatoria es el Real Santuario del Santísimo Cristo, una de las imágenes religiosas más veneradas en Canarias.El Ayuntamiento de La Laguna ofrece regularmente rutas gratuitas por la ciudad, en la que los guías ayudarán al visitante a comprender y descubrir el valioso patrimonio del municipio.

Senderos del municipio homologados

San Cristóbal de La Laguna cuenta con varios senderos homologados que recorren sus frondosas cumbres. La ruta PR – TF 10 Cruz del Carmen – Punta del Hidalgo desciende desde el centro de visitantes hasta la costa de Punta del Hidalgo y está reservado a senderistas con cierta experiencia, ya que tiene una longitud aproximada de 10 kilómetros y una duración de unas cuatro horas. En esta ruta pueden conocerse los caseríos de Chinamada y Las Carboneras. PR –TF 10.1 Las Escaleras – Las Carboneras – Chinamada es otro sendero, mucho más breve y de nivel medio, que permite descubrir ambos caseríos.

Un poco de historia
Antes de contarte todo lo que visitar en La Laguna, como también se conoce, déjanos ponerte en contexto…

San Cristóbal de la Laguna fue la primera ciudad fundada en la isla tras ser conquistada en 1496 por los barcos procedentes de la península. Realmente allí ya había un asentamiento de aborígenes canarios (guanches), pero fue con la anexión a la Corona de Castilla cuando La Laguna comenzó a ser la que conocemos hoy en día.

Curiosidad: se la llamó San Cristóbal de la Laguna en honor a San Cristóbal, patrón de los viajeros y marineros. ¿Y la Laguna? Al parecer antaño en esta zona existía una laguna 😉 así de sencillo.

A, y ojito con el microclima de La Laguna, donde siempre suelen haber unos cuantos grados menos que en el resto de la isla (los 364 días del año, menos el día que fuimos nosotros que estábamos por encima de los 30 grados! Tenlo presente y lleva una chaquetilla por si las moscas.

10 cosas que ver y hacer en San Cristóbal de la Laguna
¿Quieres conocer La Laguna de mano de un guía local? Este free tour de 2 horas te encantará. Apúntate gratis aquí.

1. Plaza del Adelantado
Es una de las plazas principales y la tomamos como punto de partida para realizar la visita a pie por La Laguna. Y es que desde aquí parten las calles más bonitas de la ciudad. Pero antes de comenzar a callejear, tómate el tiempo para disfrutar de esta plaza, dedicada a Alonso Fernández de Lugo, el adelantado de la isla.

La figura del Adelantado era usada en la Edad Media por la Corona de Castilla como máximo mandatario de un nuevo territorio conquistado. Algo así como el gobernador.

En la Plaza del Adelantado no faltan edificios interesantes, es el caso de la Ermita de San Miguel, del Convento de Santa Catalina (de la que te hablaremos en un ratito) o del Ayuntamiento. Especialmente bonita es la fuente de mármol que se ubica en el centro de la plaza, dicen que pesa unas 30 toneladas… más o menos lo que pesaremos nosotros tras comer tan bien en los guachinches de la isla. A ver si Ryanair nos deja subir al avión.

2. Iglesia y Convento de Santa Catalina de Siena
Sin salir de la plaza podremos contemplar esta Iglesia-Convento, sin duda uno de los sitios más emblemáticos de San Cristóbal de la Laguna. Se fundó en el año 1611 en el lugar donde se ubicaba la primera casa del Adelantado, que como ya vimos, era la figura clave de la ciudad. De esta no queda nada de la estructura original, aún así el edificio del antiguo convento es una pasada.

Aunque su gran tesoro, que todavía hoy se conserva de forma perfecta, son los dos ajimeces (balcones) de madera tallada, de clara influencia mudéjar, desde donde las monjas del convento podían echar un vistazo a lo que pasaba en la plaza, sin que nadie conociera su condición de cotillas. No las juzgues, que la vida de convento es muy dura y más sin tele para ver el Sálvame.

3. Palacio de Nava
Más allá de la importancia religiosa de La Laguna (es la sede episcopal de Tenerife), no hay que olvidar que también es una ciudad llena de espacios culturales, siendo para muchos la capital intelectual de la isla. Y es aquí, en el Palacio de Nava, donde los grandes intelectuales de la época se reunían para debatir cuestiones de todo tipo.

El edificio tiene un estilo mixto, con elementos barrocos, manieristas y neoclásicos y destaca en la Plaza del Adelantado por el color negro de su fachada, construida con piedra volcánica.

4. Calle San Agustín y Calle la Carrera
Ahora sí, nos ponemos a mover las piernecitas. Estas son las dos calles principales del casco histórico de La Laguna y donde se concentran la mayoría de edificios históricos y lugares de interés. Si solo tuvieras un par de horitas para visitar la ciudad, deberías centrarte en recorrer estas dos calles.

Desde la Plaza del Adelantado toma la Calle la Carrera para llegar a la primera parada imprescindible: la Casa Alvarado Bracamonte. Además de albergar la Oficina de Información Turística, tiene una fachada preciosa y un patio típico canario bien bonito, y obviamente es gratis!

Con mapa y algo más de información, dirígete ahora hacia la Calle San Agustín, y recórrela en dirección a la Iglesia de la Concepción. A tu paso irán apareciendo palacios señoriales, museos, pequeñas galerías de arte y alguna que otra sorpresa, como las ruinas de la Iglesia de San Agustín, de la que te hablamos a continuación.

Al regreso te tocará caminar por la Calle La Carrera, la calle más animada y comercial. Más allá de tiendas y restaurantes, aquí podrás ver algunos de los palacios y casas más coloridas e importantes de la villa, como la Casa del Corregidor, la Casa De La Alhóndiga o el Teatro Leal.

5. Iglesia y ex convento de San Agustín, de los mejores sitios que ver en La Laguna
Es uno de los lugares imprescindibles que visitar en San Cristóbal de La Laguna, pues atesora una larga historia. La parte del convento en su día fue la primera universidad de Canarias, y por allí pasaron figuras importantes como el escritor Benito Pérez Galdos (uno de los grandes de la literatura española).

En la actualidad el edificio se ha reconvertido en un lugar para promover la cultura, con exposiciones temporales y del que destaca también el claustro interior, un auténtico remanso de paz con exuberantes plantas autóctonas.

Aunque la imagen más impactante es la de su iglesia, en ruinas tras sufrir un incendio en el año 1964. Desde fuera podrás echar un ojillo a lo que queda de ella, y si te fijas en el centro, rodeada de maleza aparece la imagen de una virgen.

6. Catedral de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios
Este templo religioso, dedicado a la Virgen de los Remedios, cuenta con una fachada de estilo neoclásico, mientras que el interior es neogótico y barroco (especialmente bonito el retablo).

En 1511 se comenzó a edificar como una pequeña ermita, aunque con el paso de los años se fue ampliando hasta conseguir el aspecto que hoy vemos. De hecho no fue hasta 1818 cuando pasó a tener el estatus de Catedral, tras segregarse la diócesis Nivariense del obispado de Canarias.

Es uno de los edificios más bonitos que ver en San Cristóbal de La Laguna, no te lo pierdas.

7. Palacio Salazar, una parada que hacer en la Laguna sí o sí
Este antiguo palacio de estilo barroco es, nada más y nada menos, que la sede del Obispado de Tenerife (Diócesis Nivariense). En 2006 sufrió un terrible incendio que solo tuvo piedad con la fachada de piedra negra. La reconstrucción del interior tardó 3 años y hoy se puede volver a visitar.

De hecho, si tienes la oportunidad, cruza la puerta de entrada, así podrás ver su jardín interior porticado. Y no te pierdas los detalles de la fachada, especialmente las curiosas gárgolas con formas de animales y el escudo familiar de la familia Salazar.

Y hablando de patios… La Laguna es el mejor lugar para familiarizarnos con los patios típicos canarios, que luego se usarían como modelo para las construcciones del otro lado del Atlántico. Ya vimos varios ejemplos, como la Casa Alvarado Bracamonte o este Palacio, pero hay alguno más como el que encontramos en la coqueta Casa Montañés, lleno de vegetación y donde destaca una fuente ornamental, o el del siguiente punto…

8. Museo de Historia y Antropología de Tenerife (MHA)
En la bonita Casa Lercaro, que perteneció a unos poderosos comerciantes genoveses, encontramos uno de los sitios más interesantes que ver en San Cristóbal de la Laguna: el Museo de Historia y Antropología de Tenerife (MHA). En sus diferentes salas, repartidas en 3 plantas, se exponen paneles informativos y colecciones para aprender más acerca de la historia de la isla y de sus principales acontecimientos.

Cuando nosotros lo visitamos era gratis (creemos que por tema Covid) pero al parecer cuesta 5€ y nos parece una visita muy recomendable tanto si viajas con niños como si quieres conocer la memoria histórica de la isla. Además, como ya te adelantamos, una vez dentro podrás ver un precioso patio con celosías de madera.

Y si te gustan las historias de fantasmas, también tienes que ir: dicen que en ocasiones se puede ver el espíritu de Catalina, la hija del dueño, que obligada a casarse con un hombre que no quería, decidió quitarse la vida lanzándose al pozo de la casa.

→ Más información

9. Parroquia Matriz de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
Se trata de una de las iglesias más antiguas de Tenerife y en 1948 se declaró Monumento Histórico Nacional. Lo que más llama la atención de su exterior es la torre de ladrillo de 28 metros de altura.

En el interior tienes que fijarte especialmente en 4 cosas: el púlpito de madera, el Altar Mayor, la pila bautismal de cerámica vidriada y el camarín de la Inmaculada Concepción.

10. Plaza de El Cristo: Mercado de la Laguna y Santuario del Santísimo Cristo
Dejamos para el final estas dos visitas que se disponen alrededor de la Plaza de El Cristo, un pelín alejada del resto del casco histórico de La Laguna.

El Mercado de La Laguna es un colorido mercado, lleno de puestos de productos locales de todo tipo (desde carne y pescado a verduras y flores). Quizás no sea el edificio más impresionante del día, pero puede ser una visita diferente que hacer en La Laguna.

No lejos del mercado se levanta el Santuario del Santísimo Cristo que alberga uno de los símbolos de La Laguna: el Cristo de la Laguna. Se trata de una imagen de Jesús crucificado, de estilo gótico, que sobresale en el bonito altar hecho de plata.

Dónde aparcar en San Cristóbal de La Laguna
Nosotros aparcamos en el Parking Las Quinteras, a apenas unos pasos de la Plaza del Adelantado (ubicación). Es un parking amplio al aire libre vigilado y de pago, pero solo cuesta 0,50€ cada hora así que nos parece el mejor lugar donde aparcar en La Laguna

Alojamiento en La Laguna
Puede ser una alternativa interesante a Santa Cruz de Tenerife para hacer base por unos días y conocer esta parte de la isla. La Laguna es bastante más tranquilo que la capital, pero ofrece bastantes variedad de restaurantes y alojamiento de todo tipo (aunque eso sí, a precios algo más altos).

Si has decidido pasar alguna noche aquí, estas pueden ser buenas opciones:

Laguna Nivaria Hotel & Spa

Aguere Nest Hostel

La Asomada del Gato

La Laguna is the cultural capital of the island of Tenerife.

Spain in Russian

This city with the lingering name of San Cristobal de la Laguna was the first in Tenerife: the founding of La Laguna dates back to 1496. Like many cities in Tenerife, La Laguna also stands on the site of an ancient settlement of the Guanches, who lived peacefully for many centuries before the Spanish colonization. Once there was a small bay here, a lagoon inland, the memory of which remained only in the name of the city.

The height above sea level in this area is only 545 meters, which is very low for Tenerife. For comparison, the highest point in Barcelona, the observation deck on Mount Tibidabo, is 512 meters above sea level.

La Laguna was the first city in Spain not built as a fortress.

His plan is now kept in a museum and is to some extent an example for many other Canarian and Spanish cities. The site in the interior of the island was chosen specifically in an attempt to protect itself from pirates. As we know, they liked to hide their treasures in the Mask Gorge, not disdaining robbery and local residents along the way. For two centuries until 1723, La Laguna was the capital of the picturesque island and the Canary Islands.

The city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and to this day has remained the spiritual, cultural and educational center of the island, retaining its authenticity. The historical part of the city over the past 300 years has been preserved not in fragments, but in whole blocks. Therefore, we recommend visiting La Laguna to lovers of authentic antiquity, ancient streets and architectural monuments, especially since the weather here is always good.

Spiritual and cultural values

La Laguna Cathedral

The Cathedral of La Laguna is an example of neo-Gothic architecture, the burial place of Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, the Andalusian commander who annexed the most rebellious and at the same time the richest islands of La Palma and Tenerife to the Spanish crown. It is known that this person was very cruel, despotic, ambitious and domineering.

Fights with the Guanches for Tenerife were heavy and bloody, as a result, both islands were conquered in 1494 years and essentially belonged to him. During his reign, Fernandez de Lugo turned all the Guanches into slaves, and also controlled all the movements of people between the Canary Islands and their arrival from the continent, forming a circle of permanent settlers, distributed land, agricultural land and even water.

Church of the Iglesia de la Consensien

The ancient church of Iglesia de la Consensien (Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary) is one of the first Catholic churches in Tenerife, founded in the 15th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake and rebuilt in 1778, remaining a rare example of the Canarian baroque style and a monument of national importance. The majestic tower is visible from afar and is one of the symbols of the city.

Cathedral of Saint Catherine of Siena

The Cathedral of St. Catherine of Siena (Convento de Santa Catalina de Siena) is famous for containing the miraculous relics of St. Mary de Leon Bello y Delgado. Sister Maria was born and lived in Tenerife between 1643 and 1731. She served in this monastery and died here at the age of 87, bringing a lot of good to people. She had prophetic visions and the gift of healing deadly ailments. Three years after the funeral, her body was removed from the grave for reburial, and it turned out that no changes had occurred to him.

So the incorruptible relics of Mary became the greatest shrine of the Canary Islands, and the monastery of St. Catherine of Siena became the most visited in Tenerife. One day a year they can be seen in a transparent sarcophagus on the day of veneration of this holy virgin. Also noteworthy is the fact that the monastery itself was founded in 1606 in a complex of buildings where Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, a tyrant and viceroy of the Spanish crown, known for his cruel treatment of people, lived.

The Cristo de La Laguna temple keeps a local shrine – an ebony cross brought here personally by Alonso Fernandez in 1520.

Plaza del Adelantado

The main square, Plaza del Adelantado, is named after the aforementioned Fernandez de Lugo. His position as a manager in Tenerife was called “adelantado”, which means “discoverer”. The old building of the Nava Palace, the former administrative and social center of the city, overlooks the square.

Haunted House Casa Lercaro

Now there is a museum of the history of Tenerife and a store of local products (cheese, honey, wine, etc.), and earlier it was a private house of a very wealthy Lercaro family, built in the 17th century in the best canons of Canarian architecture. The owner’s daughter committed suicide from unhappy love, drowning herself in a well in the yard, and she was buried in the yard, in connection with which there is a legend that her spirit still roams the house to this day.

City Park La Constitución is a Canarian cozy green area of the city.

As befits a cultural capital, La Laguna offers tourists a wide choice of restaurants and cafes where they can share their impressions over a cup of strong Canarian baraquito.

In any establishment you will find local specialties such as salmorejo rabbit, patatas canarias with mojo sauce, fried goat cheese and baked sea bass.

After seeing the sights of the city itself, you will definitely want to “warm up” a little! In the municipality of La Laguna, everything is close by – the beautiful and wide natural beaches of Playa del Roquete for swimming and Playa del Arenal for surfing. In addition, the city is surrounded by mountains, where you can go trekking or just take a walk and breathe in the healing air with the aroma of Canarian pine.

There are several walking routes and observation platforms in the mountains, for example, Mirador de La Cruz del Carmen is one of the best viewpoints in Tenerife.

The towns near La Laguna – Guamasa, Valle de Guerra and Tejina – are ideal for agricultural and green tourism. The city of Valle de Guerra, which was founded by the conquistador Fernandez de Lugo along with La Laguna, like the town of Tejina, is known for the production of excellent Tenerife rum.

Education

Museum of Science and Space will be interesting to visit for both adults and children from 12 years old. The ticket price includes admission to a small planetarium with a story about stars and galaxies in Spanish (a basic level is enough to understand the content).

The University of San Cristobal de la Laguna is the oldest in the Canaries and to this day remains the largest educational institution in the region. About 30,000 students from different countries study here. The university was founded in 1701 by the Augustinian monks as a spiritual educational center. It should be noted that there are several higher educational institutions in La Laguna, so this city is quite youthful and is considered “university”.

The city of San Cristobal de la Laguna was the first capital of Tenerife. Its well-preserved old town has been designated a World Heritage Site. Today La Laguna is the cultural, religious and educational center of the island.

La Laguna Old Town

San Cristóbal de La Laguna, or simply La Laguna, is the oldest town in the northeast of Tenerife. It is located next to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife and is its satellite city.

The colonial atmosphere of the historic center has remained almost unchanged. The streets of La Laguna have not changed their layout since the 16th century. The houses are painted in pastel colors, they are decorated with stone porticoes, Canarian balconies are visible in the courtyards.

Since its foundation, La Laguna has been considered the religious center of Tenerife. Today the city is also the spiritual center of the province. Here is the episcopal residence.

La Laguna is a university youth city with several institutions of higher education. The University of San Cristobal de la Laguna is the main one.

In 1999, San Cristobal de la Laguna was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as a unique example of a colonial city without walls.

A bit of history

La Laguna was founded in 1496. The Spanish conquistador Alonso Fernandez de Lugo conquered these lands from the Guanches (indigenous inhabitants of Tenerife), who lived and grazed their cattle here for almost 2000 years. In 1497, the city received the status of the capital of the Canary archipelago and held out in it until 1833.

Toponym

The place where the city is now located was called the valley of Aguere during the time of the Guanches. It had the shape of a bowl, at the bottom of which condensate and water flowing down from the Anaga Mountains (Macizo de Anaga) accumulated. As a result, a lake was formed in the lowland of Aguere. The inhabitants called this place “the lagoon”. Subsequently, the name passed to the city of La Laguna.

Later it was decided to supplement the name of the city. On July 25, 1496, the day of the holy martyr Christopher (San Cristóbal), an important event took place – the final victory over the Guanches was won. Combining this significant date with the original name of the city, they got – San Cristobal de la Laguna.

When to go?

San Cristobal de la Laguna is located at an altitude of 545 m above sea level. The climate is classified as oceanic Mediterranean. The city is surrounded by mountains, so clouds often accumulate here, and the humidity of the air becomes high. In winter the temperature ranges from 11°C to 18°C and in summer from 16°C to 26°C.

Lovers of antiquity and architectural monuments will enjoy the colonial atmosphere of the city comfortably at any time of the year.

In 1515, it was rebuilt and consecrated in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Los Remedios (Santa María de Los Remedios). The modern neoclassical natural stone façade with two towers was acquired by the church in 1820. In the 21st century, the dome and vaults were replaced. They were made from polypropylene fibers. This is the first time in the world when modern technologies were used in the construction of a religious building.

Inside the church are works of religious art, as well as the relics of several saints and the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, conqueror of the island of Tenerife and founder of the city of La Laguna.

Adjacent to the cathedral is the Capitular House (Casas Capitulares), built in the 18th century in the Canarian style. Today it houses the Museum of Icons (Museo de los Iconos) with the largest collection of Byzantine icons in Spain (160 original works, most of which are about 300 years old).

La Laguna – Tenerife

Canary Islands, Spain 9Getting there: Getting there

San Cristobal de La Laguna ( Spanish San Cristóbal de La Laguna), or simply La Laguna, is a city and municipality. Located in the eastern part of the island of Tenerife, 12 kilometers from the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The distance to the North Airport is – 7 km and to the South International Airport – 65 km. The city is located relatively far from the coastal zone of the Atlantic Ocean. Reach the nearest and best beach with yellow sand “Las Teresitas”, about 22 km or 30 minutes by car.

La Laguna is a city with centuries of history dating back to its founding on July 27, 1496. Based on excavation data and a detailed study of the found objects and burials, it was revealed that the first settlements of the ancient inhabitants of the Guanches arose more than two thousand years ago, on the site where the city is now located. Then this place was called the valley of Aguere. The valley itself resembles the shape of a bowl. Due to this structure, water condenses in its lowest part, which flows down from the Anaga mountains.

Formation of the name of the city . This name was not enough and they decide to add another important event related to the end of the victory over the Guanches, which ends on July 25, 1496, on the day of the holy martyr Christopher (San Cristóbal). Therefore, it was decided to combine this significant date with the original name of the city, receiving – San Cristobal de La Laguna.

It was very convenient for the Guanches to establish a settlement here, far from the ocean, with the presence of fresh water on a gently sloping terrain. This gave them the security, convenience to graze their pets and grow crops with the least amount of energy.

They lived well and happily until the Spanish conquistador Alonso Fernandez de Lugo sailed and descended to the land of Tenerife with his army. The conquistador offered the Guanches to surrender and accept the Catholic faith, which was refused. 31 May 1494 years there was the first battle with the Guanches at Asentejo. Alonso de Lugo was defeated and forced to retreat to the island of Gran Canaria. Having gathered new forces, he attacks for the second time on November 14-15, 1494, and for more than one month of battles, on December 25, 1494, he wins.

After that, there were further small clashes with detachments from the Guanches, but they were insignificant and quickly ended in the direction of the Castilians.

City of San Cristobal de La Laguna was founded on July 27, 1496, and in 1497 it received the status of the capital of the island, holding out in this position until 1833. The population is developing rapidly with the influx of migrants from Italy, France, Germany. Maritime trade is being established. Aristocratic houses are built and religious influences come along with the creation of temples. Most of the rich houses of that time are well preserved and have survived to this day. To do this, you need to visit the old part of the city of La Laguna.

On December 2, 1999, the historical part of La Laguna was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

Weather

The climate in San Cristobal de La Laguna is oceanic Mediterranean throughout the year, with mild summers. Due to its location at an altitude of about 520 meters above sea level and surrounded by mountains, clouds often thicken here and the air is quite humid. Its average annual values are 73% rel. ow. , which is slightly higher for the human norm. The coldest months are from December to February, with temperatures ranging from 11°C to 18°C. The hottest months are July, August and September, with values ranging from 16°C to 26°C.

Often, travelers landing at Tenerife North Airport are surprised that the temperature in San Cristobal de La Laguna feels too cold for swimming and sunbathing, thinking that it is the same all over the island. But do not be afraid, this is due just because of the cloud masses that thicken over the city and lower the temperature. As soon as you move to the south of Tenerife, you will immediately feel the difference, how different the island’s southern climate is from the northern one. Therefore, the best place to choose a hotel or property for rent will be the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, starting from the resort of Playa Paraiso to Los Cristianos. The north of Tenerife or its eastern part, it is better to visit with an individual tour or on your own by bus (car).

Parish Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán
Spanish Iglesia de Santo Domingo de Guzmán
The Catholic Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, one of the most revered temples of the city La Laguna , it houses the images of Our Lady of the Virgin Mary of the Rosary and the revered Castilian priest Santo Domingo de Guzmán (1170 – 1221). Initially, this place was a small chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. In 1522, the diocese decides to build a monastery, in which Dominican images of holy monks are installed, and five years later a church is built. To date, the monastery is no longer there, and its building is used as a cultural center.
When visiting the temple, you will see the installed font in which the famous Jesuit missionary José de Anchieta Llarena was baptized. Previously, the font was in the Holy Church of Our Lady of Los Remedios, now the Catholic Cathedral. This was an outstanding personality who participated in the founding of the cities of São Paulo (January 25, 1554) and Rio de Janeiro (March 1, 1565).

It is worth paying attention to the floor near the font. Here is the tombstone of the famous corsair Amaro Pargo, who was buried in the church of Santo Domingo in 1747. Amaro Pargo donated several works of art to the temple and also allocated money for its improvement. Contributed to the life of the poor in the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna. After talking with the abbot, he said that at the burial place of Amaro, there is a small tunnel in which the bodies of his parents, the dark-skinned servant Cristobal Lynch and 6 more people with several babies are buried. There are more than 10 tombs in total.
In addition, on the wall on the right, it is hard not to notice the wall paintings by the artist Mariano de Cossio. The painting is represented by several themes, religious and the Third Battle of Lepanto.

Spanish Convento de Santa Catalina de Siena
On this very spot, where the conquistador Alonso Fernández de Lugo, conqueror of the island of Tenerife, once stood, the monastery of Santa Catalina de Siena was built, which opened on April 23, 1611. Then still a member of the city council of the island of La Palma, Juan de Cabrejas (Juan de Cabrejas), the land was purchased in 1600, along with the house of the outstanding Alonso. 6 years after the deal, in 1606 the foundation of the monastery was laid.
Since its opening, about a hundred nuns will soon be living within the walls. Due to good subsidies and donations, in which the corsair Amaro Pargo takes part, Santa Catolina is considered the richest monastery in Tenerife. In our time, it adds value to the fact that it houses the tomb with the incorruptible relics of St. Mary de Jesus de Leon and Delgado (b. March 23, 1643 – February 15, 1731). Maria de Leon during her lifetime was a member of the Dominican Order of Preacher Brothers. La Siervita ( Spanish La Siervita), as her admirers lovingly called her and attributed to her the superpowers with which she was endowed: stigmata, enlightenment, levitation, hyperthermia, clairvoyance, bilocation and others.
Video: La Siervita
After her death, La Siervita devotee Amaro Pargo commissioned her a tomb and an altar, placing them on the lower floor of the convent. He remained devoted to her both during his lifetime and after, revered her and came to confess to a lifeless body. As people who knew Amaro said, having met and fell under the influence of a nun, he began to engage in charitable activities.
Twice a year, there is an opportunity to see the incorrupt relics of Maria de Leon, this is on the day of her death on February 15th and the next Sunday after the 15th. At the monastery there is a small museum of La Siervita ( isp. Museo de la Siervita), where her personal belongings are located during her lifetime, found in the cell.

Museum of History and Anthropology of Tenerife and Sp.

Museo de Historia y Antropología de Tenerife

In the historic center of La Laguna , there is the Museum of the History and Anthropology of Tenerife. His collection is located in one of the famous houses built in 1593, in the House of Lercaro. Originally owned by Francisco Lercaro de Leon, who came from a family of Genoese merchants. Since the 20th century, the building has changed its purpose several times, first served as a hostel for the military, then it was the headquarters of the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, and in the 70s it was bought by the city hall for use as a museum.

The architecture of the building is no less interesting and has been well preserved to this day, its inner part with its own courtyard, balconies made of Canarian pine and other interesting decorative elements made of natural stone. The territory is relatively small, but with the presence of a garden and the famous dragon tree growing in it. After the acquisition by the mayor’s office, the dilapidated part of the house was restored, the work was carried out carefully bringing it closer to its original appearance.

The Museum of History and Anthropology presents a documentary and bibliographic collection from the 15th century on the life of Tenerife. The range of exhibits is not as large as we would like, but perhaps some things will impress you. Inside, your eyes will see the objects of the inhabitants of the island of Tenerife, from the moment they were settled after the defeat of the Guanches in the 15th century and until the 20th century. We list some of them, these are two horse-drawn carriages, pottery, furniture, national Canarian clothes, ancient weapons (muskets), weaving items, a large old stone oven and others. The museum has the opportunity to take an audio guide for a fee.

You may have heard that in the city of La Orotava there is another house with the same name “House of Lercaro in La Orotava”. This is the second mansion that the Lercaro family moved into after the tragic event of their daughter Catalina.

Antonio Lercaro had a daughter, Catalina, whom they wanted to marry off profitably, having made a marriage of convenience. Her parents made a decision to marry her off to a rich man older than her age, with good connections in noble circles. Catalina, on the day of the wedding ceremony, being in the family home in La Laguna and not resigning herself to what was happening. Having picked up the right moment, he rushes into the well, located at the back of the house. Thus, he committed suicide. The legend says that due to the fact that Catalina chose the path of suicide, the Catholic Church forbade her to be buried in the cemetery, so she was buried in one of the rooms of the house.

Some witnesses who visited the house earlier, including museum staff, say they saw the ghost of Catalina and strange things happened to them. For example, they heard steps on the second floor, although they were alone in the house, or the open door to one of the rooms closed and the key turned, which then had to be entered through the window. Source: Catalina Lercaro

So if you decide to visit the museum, you will probably meet the ghost of Catalina, and if not, then time will not be wasted looking at the collection of ancient objects. 9:00 to 20:00

One of the last grand buildings in La Laguna can rightfully be considered the Catholic Cathedral of La Laguna. Located near Plaza Fray Albino, surrounded by low-rise archaic houses, small shops and cafes with fresh pastries. It’s usually busy here from strolling locals, students, and travelers with cameras. There are often holidays, processions or exhibitions taking place on the square.

This is a majestic temple and one of the tallest buildings in the old part of the city, with a proud tower. Once at its walls, you will realize that it was built relatively recently and this is true. The dates of the last restoration work stretched over a couple of centuries. Where the 20th century saw the reconstruction of the main neo-Gothic building, entirely made of concrete. And when it comes to the vault, they find that it is in a bad state. In the 21st century, a new dome made of polypropylene fibers is being replaced and erected. These transformations are considered among the first in Spain, where modern technologies were applied in the construction of the temple. But the neoclassical natural stone facade with two towers, recreated in 1820, gives a special attraction. Its front side is almost an exact copy of the Cathedral of St. Mary of Pamplona (Catedral de Santa María la Real de Pamplona).

The history of the site on which the temple stands goes back to 1511. Then, by order of the conquistador Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, a skete dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary was installed in this space. But this is not enough. Just four years later, a new transformation begins, where in 1515, a small hermitage is reincarnated into the church of Santa Maria do Los Remedios (Santa María de Los Remedios). In 1618, it was supplemented with a tower with bells.

The cathedral can be distinguished by several valuable events. The first of these is the baptism on April 7, 1534 of José de Anchieta Llarena, who later became a Jesuit missionary from the Canary Islands. His activities led to the founding of cities in Brazil, São Paulo (January 25, 1554) and Rio de Janeiro (March 1, 1565).

The second is that to this day the remains of Javier Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, the conqueror of the island of Tenerife and the founder of the city of La Laguna, are buried in the sanctuary.

Located in Plaza Concepción, at the intersection of El Tison and Adelantado streets. The architecture of the building is close to the Tuscan style and Baroque. The building is rectangular in shape, with decorative elements, framed with natural stone windows, columns and arches. The roof is covered with French tiles. Once inside, notice the interior of the Mudéjar ceiling, beautiful.

The most attractive part is the stone tower with a belfry built at the end of the 17th century. Its height is 28 meters. You can get into the temple without much difficulty, but to climb the tower, you need to buy a ticket for 2 euros (price for 2017, children are free). If you’ve visited the tower, don’t throw away your ticket, it also gives you free entry to Salazar’s House, which is 500 meters away.

After visiting this place, wait to leave. On the square “Dr. Olivera” (Dr. Olivera) at the entrance to the church, there is a beautiful bronze monument dedicated to Pope John Paul II. This piece was made by Polish sculptor Czesław Dzwigai and donated by the Juan Kobylanski Foundation and Polish Organizations of Latin America (USOPAL).

Main square in the city La Laguna . Created and named after the conqueror of the island of Tenerife – Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, who was given the title of Adelantado. This position was provided to high-ranking officials, governors in peacetime. In the military, his importance was on par with that of an admiral. Above only was the viceroy of the king. Around the square are important administrative buildings, the city hall, courts, churches, the municipal market and, accordingly, the old part of the city. You can park your car in a paid large open parking lot a hundred meters away, inexpensively.

In the middle of the esplanade is an old marble fountain, made in Marseille and brought by ship on March 20, 1869. Its approximate weight is about 30 tons. Fenced for safety with a low metal fence, yet the age is more than 140 years.

Adelantado Square is quite green, planted with vegetation, palm trees, flowers and laurel trees. You can relax here on stone or wooden benches, carefully observing the life of the local population.

Tourist Center

Alvarado-Brakamonte House or House of Captains

Today, a tourist center is located in the old house of the belonging of Diegom. Built for him and his family, where he lived from 1624 to 1635. He was the governor, judge and military captain of the islands of Tenerife and La Palma. Later, its walls from 1705 to 1723 were home to six Captains General of the Canary Islands. Therefore, more often on the lips of the local population it is called the “House of General-Captains” ( Spanish Casa de Los Capitanes Generales) and less commonly Alvarado-Bracamonte ( Spanish Alvarado-Bracamonte).

A distinctive feature of the building is that it is made with decorative elements consisting of volcanic red tuff. The interior decoration is no different from the Canarian style, with a patio and wooden balconies. In the middle there is a fountain and some green spaces.

Since the house is now run by a tourist centre, access is free during certain hours. Once inside, you can safely walk around the rooms that are open.

Salazar House

Spanish Casa Salazar

The palace residence of the counts of Valle de Salazar, located in the historic center of the city. The house is one of the most outstanding examples of typical architecture of the archipelago, made in the style of the Canarian baroque, combined with elements of mannerism and neoclassicism.

Construction history

The construction of the palace began in 1629 by Cristobal Salazar de Frias, who arrived in Tenerife at the end of the sixteenth century. In 1687, the construction of the house was completed by his son Cristobal Lazaro Salazar de Frias i Espinosa, the first count of the Valle de Salazar family and the Marquis de Estremiana. The title of which he received a year before the end of the construction of the palace. So the palace was inherited from count to count of the Salazar family, until in 1891, Bishop Ramon Torrijos i Gomez bought the house from the eighth count of the Salazar family, Esteban Salazar de Frias i Ponte, making it the Residence of the Diocese.

In 1982 the palace was declared a cultural interest in the monument category.

In 1999 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On January 23, 2006, a fire broke out in the building, which forever took away most of the memory of the inner part of the palace, but the facade miraculously remained almost unscathed. It took several years to restore and reconstruct. In 2009, on June 19, the palace was restored.

Feature of the facade of the palace

The facade of the building is a unique architectural work of Juan González de Castro Illada, made in 1681 by two masters – masons Juan Liscano and Andres Rodriguez Bello. Which left a huge mark on the baroque trend of the Canary archipelago, which is considered by most to be the best work of that time.

The facade has two floors, a central entrance and four large windows protected by protruding iron decorative bars. The eye-catching aspect of the façade is its central part and intricate gargoyles. The windows of the upper floor are surrounded by Corinthian columns with a triangular pediment, the central window of paired columns ends with a pediment with rounded corners that support a stone attic carved with ornamental motifs, and in the middle is a white marble shield of the Salazar family with its crown.

Gran Canaria in November – Shopping

In many sources describing Gran Canaria, the island is compared to a “continent in miniature” due to the variety of natural phenomena. Mountain landscapes are combined here with sand dunes in Maspalomas resort, which look like a small desert. And in the central part of the island there is an extinct volcano Pico de las Nieves. In the north of the island it is always a little cool and there is a light breeze, and a few hours drive to the south you can languish from the hot scorching sun. This is what amazing Gran Canaria is like!

I got to the airport with the same name Gran Canaria by a direct flight from Warsaw Modlin Airport. Travel time was 5 hours 30 minutes. As soon as you get off the plane, you begin to feel the pleasant warm air. There is a bus stop near the airport. By the way, the bus transport in Gran Canaria is called funny – “gua-gua”.

I planned to stay in the capital of the island – Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, having previously booked an apartment via the Internet. And I want to note right away that if we consider Gran Canaria for a youth holiday, then only the capital of the island, since in other resorts young people will howl with longing on the second day, surrounded by expensive hotels, restaurants and German pensioners, imposingly strolling along the embankment.

The road from the airport to Las Palmas takes about an hour and a half. There are two main bus stations in the city: San Telmo and Santa Catalina, and they are located underground. When I got to the place, I discovered that my apartment is located 5 steps from the magnificent Las Canteras beach! A good-natured Spaniard met me on the doorstep, he gave me the keys to the apartment, and from that moment my acquaintance with the island began.

I fell in love with Gran Canaria forever! I can’t say exactly what struck me. I want to go back there again, sit on the promenade of Las Canteras beach, enjoying a cup of aromatic coffee, peer into the horizon, not think about anything and breathe in the fresh breeze coming from the ocean. I want to share what touched me, surprised, pleased and forever remained in my memory.

Old part of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

To get acquainted with the main sights of the city, we used the “Hop on, Hop off” sightseeing bus. For those who have not encountered – bus route passes through the main tourist attractions, at stops, you can get off, watch, take pictures, then the next bus arrives, and you continue the tour. A ticket for an excursion costs about 20 euros and is valid for a day. The start of the route is Piazza Santa Catalina.

A separate day was devoted to getting to know the old part of the city — Vegeta. Unlike the northern part of the city, which belongs to the port, Vegeta district has retained its historical architectural appearance. The heart of the old town is the beautiful Basilica of St. Anne – the first church built in Gran Canaria and the largest in the Canary Islands.

You can climb to the observation deck of the temple and appreciate the panoramic view of the city.

The second most popular architectural landmark, after the temple of St. Anne, is the House of Columbus. The building where the great navigator stayed during one of his expeditions until his ship was repaired. Now the House of Columbus is used as a museum, which presents expositions dedicated to the century of the Great Geographical Discoveries.

A wonderful interactive museum, located in Piazza Santa Catalina. Museum expositions reveal various physical and chemical processes. Here you can see the device of the aircraft, the engine of the ship. And the best part is that you can touch everything, put it into action and participate yourself. You can spend half a day in the museum, and you won’t even notice how time passes. It will be equally interesting for both children and adults.

Atlantic Ocean

In Las Palmas, I met the Atlantic. My trip took place in November, the weather at that time was very capricious. The ocean at that time was agitated, which attracted surfers.

Unfortunately, I was never lucky enough to get a deep tan. One fine morning I woke up and decided to go to the beach, as the weather was favorable. While I got ready and left the house, the sun disappeared somewhere. I got to the beach, settled down, and it appeared again, but not for long. When clouds roll in, it becomes cool, as there is always a light wind on the island. I had to get dressed. Then, after some time, the sun again appeared from behind the clouds. In general, I spent this day chasing the sun. Despite the lack of heat, it was comfortable to swim, but this is all, of course, very individual.

Maspalomas

One day was planned for a trip to the south of the island – the resort of Maspalomas. We rode a regular regular bus from the Santa Catalina station. It was interesting for me to watch the locals getting on and off the bus. It’s not like we have in Russia – everyone goes with stone faces and is silent, while the Spaniards are chatting, laughing, chattering, there is such a din in the bus that you can’t hear what the person sitting next to you is saying.

The road from Las Palmas took about 2 hours, there were sections with serpentine, but it was not scary. Himself resort is a promenade area, cafes, restaurants, small villas and hotels.

We walked along the sand dunes and felt like Bedouins in the desert. And in the evening we watched an incredibly beautiful sunset.

Shopping

Long before the trip, of course, I heard that Canary Islands is a duty-free zone, but, going on a trip, shopping was not my goal. I did not want to waste time shopping until I visited a large shopping center – Las Arenas. What can I say, I flew back with an advantage, and my most expensive purchase was glasses for 12 euros.

Notes and “chips”:

Communication: Wi-Fi is difficult in the Canary Islands, there are free points in McDonald’s and in small HyperDino supermarkets. In kiosks with all sorts of things, you can buy a local Lebara SIM card. It gives you 2 GB of internet for 30 days.

Food: jamon, cheeses, olives, paella – without trying this, you can not return to your homeland. But there is a small Chinese restaurant Wok in Las Palmas, where you have a rich selection of seafood in the form of a buffet, for a fixed fee of about 13 euros.

The attitude towards Russians is more than friendly. There is a restaurant with Russian cuisine “Balalaika” on the Las Canteras promenade. And one day, walking along Santa Catalina Square, I heard how the venerable grandfather was playing “Katyusha” on the button accordion.

The best way to explore the island is to rent a car.

City Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – the capital of the island, business and cultural center. But there is no noise and turmoil inherent in large cities. This is a city for relaxation and soul.

Gran Canaria Info – Gran Canaria Shopping: The Ultimate Las Palmas Retail Guide

For serious Gran Canaria shopping, a trip to the capital Las Palmas is always a good day trip. As one of Spain’s ten biggest cities it’s got the island’s biggest malls, one of the country’s top outdoor shopping areas and so many authentic cafes and restaurants that you’ll struggle to stay focused on the task at hand.

Las Palmas has Gran Canaria’s biggest range of High Street names and small boutiques and prices are all local as the shops cater to Canarians rather than tourists. The main sales periods start in the second week in January and in July.

Fo serious Las Palmas shopping, first head to Triana district, then move on to Mesa y Lopez and Las Arenas. Leave enough time for a stroll along Las Canteras beachfront.

Don’t forget that most shops in Las Palmas close on Sundays (except during the winter cruise season) and on national and Las Palmas-specific fiestas. Big shops in the retail areas don’t close for lunch, although many of the small boutique owners choose lunch and a siesta over customer service. All the shopping centres have plenty of parking and in most it is free (or free for a few hours).

Las Arenas Shopping Centre

The biggest centro commercial in the capital and the place to find everything under one roof. There’s a C&A, Primark and H&M on the ground floor while the first floor has Desigual, Pimkie, Zara, Fundgrube and Mango. For a full list of fashion shops in Las Arenas, see the centre’s website here.

Once you’ve had enough of clothes shopping, you can always head up to the giant MediaMart on the first floor to browse everything from cameras, computers, and games to coffee makers.

Las Arenas is at the south end of Las Canteras beach just behind the Alfredo Kraus auditorium. A taxi from anywhere in Las Palmas to Las Arenas costs less than 7 euros.

The best thing about Las Arenas is that everything is there and easy to find. The worst thing is that the food options are pretty basic.

Triana Barrio

Triana is Las Palmas’ traditional commercial district and was voted Spain’s top outdoor shopping area in 2013.

As well as all the main High Street names clustered appropriately on the main drag, there are plenty of small, indy boutiques up the cobbled side streets. Triana also has lots of outdoor cafes and places for lunch so you can spend a whole day shopping here or combine it with some culture in Vegueta old town next door.

Search for any shop in Triana with this (Spanish language) tool. Don’t miss the Lenita & XTG shop; A homegrown swimwear and underwear brand with a fresh take on beachwear. It’s at Calle Travieso 11.

Alex Says: Lenita & XTG are also in the Yumbo Centre in Playa del Inglés.

To get to Triana from the resorts get any bus that stops at San Telmo bus station. Walk up the steps to San Telmo Square and Triana starts to your left behind the little church.

The best things about Triana are the range of shops and the fantastic location. The worst thing is that you can’t decide whether to have a coffee or visit another shop.

Mesa y Lopez

Dominated by Spain’s massive El Corte Inglés department store on both sides of the road, this straight road is the biggest shopping area in downtown Las Palmas. It’s lost a bit of buzz in the last few years but is still well worth visiting with a Marks & Spencers, Guess, Zara, and Stradivarius.

El Corte Inglés is worth a wander even if you don’t want to buy anything. It sells everything you could possibly imagine.

Mesa y Lopez is within walking distance of the Santa Catalina bus station but hail a taxi (less than 5 euros) if you want to shop rather than sightsee.

The best thing about Mesa y Lopez is El Corte Inglés. The worst thing is that you know that Las Canteras beach is just a few minutes walk away.

Siete Palmas

Las Palmas doesn’t have suburbs but it does have Siete Palmas where people live in big flats in big buildings and commute into town in big cars. To cater to their retails needs, there’s the Siete Palmas shopping centre with its own El Corte Inglés shop as well as a good range of fashion and accessory stores. See the full store list here.

Out of Town

Put together, indoor El Mirador and outdoor plaza-style La Terrazas are one of Spain’s largest retail spaces. Of the two, El Mirador has the biggest range of shops and Spain’s biggest Primark, but Las Terrazas has the outlet stores, including several shoe shops, Mango, Calvin Klein, Fundgrube and Lacoste. See a full list of shops for El Mirador here and Las Terrazas here.

You need to drive or get a taxi between the two centres (or walk the long and sweaty path that runs along the motorway).

Don’t miss the new Los Alisios shopping centre in Tamaraceite. It’s huge and outdoors and has lots of flagship stores as well as a great selection of restaurants upstairs.

Other Las Palmas spots

El Muelle shopping centre (right by the Santa Catalina bus station) is convenient but doesn’t have many fashion names these days.

For serious clothes shopping, you’d be better walking down to the beach and south to Las Arenas or south along Las Ramblas to Mesa y Lopez (get a taxi if you are in a hurry).

Even if you don’t buy anything in El Muelle, it’s worth heading up to the top floor terrace for the views of the port and the cruise ship dock.

The area between Las Palmas’ port and Las Canteras beach, known as El Puerto, has lost many of its smaller shops to the malls but still has a few souvenir shops.

Luis Morote street, now the main pedestrian thoroughfare taking cruise ship passengers from the port to the beach, is fast becoming a new shopping street.

It’s got a mix of quality souvenir shops and small boutiques, and new shops open regularly.

Favourites

Las Canteras Lifestyle on the beachfront just north of the Reina Isabel hotel sells quality beach accessories and fashion imported from all over the world. Most of the wares are made by independent designers, collectives and NGOs from around the world and everything in the shop is original and unique on the island.

This is the spot for quality beach items and fashion items that satisfy your social conscience.

Duke Fotografia is the best camera shop in the city and ships equipment from Gran Canaria to all over Spain thanks to low VAT and taxes. It has a huge range of lenses and accessories and is the place to ask if you want to buy a new camera while on holiday (also pop over the road to the Visanta store to compare prices). Duke is on Calle Ripoche; the pedestrian street that runs west from Santa Catalina towards the beach (starting between the two newspaper kiosks).

Fundgrube is Gran Canaria’s best perfume, cosmetics and fashion accessory shops and has a store in most of the island’s quality malls and shopping streets. It also sells a wide range of tobacco brands at excellent prices.

Las Palmas & Gran Canaria Shopping

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria we will always recommend you to go shopping in open commercial areas. This is where you will find that small shop or local business and, in addition, you will be able to get to know the city better.

Next, we are going to explain a few lines about each commercial area of the island and, afterwards, we will list the main shopping centers in Gran Canaria.

Las Palmas Shopping: Triana street

✔ Triana comercial area

As we see it, Triana street is one of the most pleasant for shopping in Gran Canaria. Here you will find the main stores and franchises found in European cities. These are: Mango, Zara, Bershka, Intimissimi, Calzedonia, Women’s Secret, Guess, Apple Store, Decathlon City, etc. In the same way, you will also find shoe stores, perfumeries, luxury jewelers and other small shops.

Here you will mainly find men’s fashion. They bring exclusive brands to Gran Canaria that you won’t find anywhere. True truth. Bear in mind that parking in this area is quite difficult, although the shopping experience is worth it. In addition, it has a good range of restaurants.

Another of the main shopping areas in Las Palmas is located on Avenida José Mesa y López, closer to Las Canteras and the Port.

Shopping center Gran Canaria

As we see it, there is an excess supply of shopping centers in Gran Canaria island. And this is so because it seems that the locals likes this format of leisure space a lot. Next we are going to mention the main shopping centers of the island so that you can choose the one that best suits you.

✔ Las Arenas shopping center

Las Arenas is one of the largest shopping centers in Gran Canaria and, at the same time, one of the oldest. Here you will find practically all the franchises in Europe as a clear protagonist of Primark. There is also Media Market, Carrefour, there are movie theaters and restaurants. Here you have 2 hours of free parking or you can make a purchase over € 20 and you have free parking all day next to Las Canteras beach.

✔ El Muelle shopping center

This is located next to the Santa Catalina Pier, which is the first thing you will find if you arrive in Gran Canaria by cruise. Its commercial offer has been reduced, to the point that there is no longer any Inditex group store inside. If you will find Women’s Secret, Calzedonia, Fund Grube, Levi’s and little else… It has some restaurants like the classic 100 Montaditos, gym, supermarket and cinemas. Parking is not free.

Shopping center in Gran Canaria: El Muelle

✔ Siete Palmas shopping center and El Corte Inglés Siete Palmas

In the upper part of the city, in the Siete Palmas neighborhood, you will find this shopping center with a cinema and a wide range of restaurants. In Siete Palmas there is also a small IKEA store. Parking is free. Right next to it is the other El Corte Inglés of Gran Canaria, a little smaller than that of Mesa y López, with a smaller offer of firms and services.

Gran Canaria Shopping: Siete Palmas

✔ Los Alisios shopping center

This was the last shopping center to open in the municipality of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It has practically all the franchise stores, including Media Market.

✔ Outlet Las Terrazas and El Mirador shopping center

On the highway that connects Las Palmas with Telde we find two shopping centers: Las Terrazas and the El Mirador Shopping Center. Las Terrazas is all outlet, although it also has a supermarket, restaurants and cinemas. With regard to El Mirador, here the large Primark store stands out, as well as all the stores that we will find in most shopping centers and shopping streets. Both sites have free parking.

Maspalomas shopping and the south of Gran Canaria

If you are going to spend most of your time in the south of the island, there are several areas where you can shop and that you should take into account. Take note!

✔ Atlántico Vecindario shopping center

It is located in Vecindario, about 15 minutes from Maspalomas and about 10 minutes from the airport. Here are also all the typical shops, cinemas and a great Carrefour. Parking is free.

✔ Boulevard El Faro

On the Meloneras sea promenade we find several signature boutiques, perfumeries and jewelers. For example, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Fund Grube, and jewelry stores like Geneve’s.

Maspalomas Shopping: Boulevard El Faro

✔ El Tablero shopping center

If you are looking for Zara in the south of Gran Canaria, El Tablero is the only shopping center that has it. Well, also in Vecindario, but it is already about 25 minutes from Maspalomas. Here there are also other Inditex group stores, a supermarket and restaurants.

✔ Mogan Mall, Puerto Rico Gran Canaria Shopping Centre

This is the last shopping center that opened in Gran Canaria and the concept is semi exterior as you can see in the next photo. It has a wide gastronomic offer, a supermarket and stores such as Mango and others from the Inditex group such as Lefties, Pull & Bear and Bershka. It is located in the tourist center of Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico Gran Canaria Shopping Centre, Mogan Mall

And these are roughly the main commercial areas of Gran Canaria. Therefore, depending on what you are looking for and where you are going to stay, choose the one that suits you best 🙂

TAX FREE in the Canary Islands

Finally, you should know that the Canary Islands are governed by a different tax regime than the rest of Spain (Peninsula). In the Canary Islands the tax is not called IVA as in Spain, it is the IGIC. The generic percentage is 7% (compared to 21% in the Peninsula), although there are high-value items such as jewelry that in the Canary Islands are taxed at 13%. By contrast, fashion is taxed at just 3%. In this sense, there are certain articles that are cheaper in the Canary Islands than in other countries. This is the case with perfumes, electronics, tobacco and alcohol. On the other hand, if you are from outside the EU and want to request TAX FREE for your purchases in the Canary Islands, the minimum amount per item is € 36.06. However, at the moment it is a process that has not been digitized and is therefore horrible.

Likewise, even if the store provides you with the necessary documentation, then you will have to look for customs at the airport or port, confirm that it is open and present the merchandise along with the documentation. If everything was correct, the customs would seal the documentation so that you can send it back to the merchant by ordinary mail and they can make the refund of the IGIC. Finally, about 2-3 weeks later, the IGIC will be credited to the bank card that you have provided to the merchant. In any case, if you read us from Europe, this content about TAX Free is only for non-EU tourists. Anyway, this has been all for the moment related to shopping in Gran Canaria. We hope it has been useful to you. Until the next localguiders!

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a city to be happy

07/09/2017

Sunrise in the capital of the island of Gran Canaria. It smells of the sea, fresh coffee and a pork sandwich that the people of Las Palmas love so much. City sweepers have done their job and clean and wet streets are ready to receive citizens. Gradually, street lights and lighting disappear and the bright light of the sun breaks through the buildings, penetrating into every corner, reflected in shop windows and car windows. The day breaks with force into the lively city, the most dynamic and international of all Canary cities. Its inhabitants lightly move towards their jobs.

College stop… girl… kiss and “until yesterday, daddy will pick you up.” There is time for coffee before entering the office.

The clerk looks towards Porta de la Luz, the engine of the whole city and the whole island. Huge cranes, like the hands of a huge clock, work non-stop. Three sparkling cruise ships are like the springs of this mechanism. Two truckloads of containers pull away from the port and a hundred others await the same fate to spread across the city in various directions. Passengers go ashore and a string of taxis disperse in different directions. The younger ones cross the large avenue on foot and with backpacks on their backs, and for the most part head towards the public or private universities of the island. Not everyone was born in this city, but all of them are already like locals. Some were born on another island or in another country, but some reason brought them here to this island, where you can play various outdoor sports all year round, or just enjoy every day in this fun and energetic capital.

Cafes and hairdressers are trying to cope with an avalanche of customers in the first hours of operation. The orderly rows of newspapers and magazines in the market near Santa Catalina Park are waiting for their buyer. And customers look at the thousands of products lying in baskets and on shelves: fruits, vegetables, fish and meat – all fresh and of the highest quality, arrived from all over the island and the world.

Thousands of people are swarming everywhere. The streets of Las Ramblas, Mesa and Lopez are crowded with people hurrying to the center of activity at the very epicenter of activity at this time – Mayor de Triana. Hundreds of cars are parked outside the large Perez Theatre, which rises at the foot of the Guiniguada Theatre. From here you have a stunning view of the towers of St. Anne’s Cathedral and a series of colonial buildings that served as a model of architecture in most cities in South America. Residents of Las Palmas weave among the thousands of tourists looking at the Houses of Columbus, the Museum of the Canary Islands, and the Center for Contemporary Art of the Atlantic Ocean. The cobbled streets of the old town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are teeming.

Primorsky district is hidden in the midst of the bustle of the city. San Cristobal Castle, which has its own rhythm of life, its own authentic bars and restaurants, whose verandas are washed by the clearest ocean. .. Stopping at one of them, having a beer and delicious fried sardines is a vital necessity and an opportunity to replenish your strength for a further walk. And it’s worth taking a walk towards San Juan Hill, strewn with colorful cozy houses and cheerful locals. Your visit to Las Palmas is not complete without climbing up here and taking some pictures of the city’s panoramic skyline.
On the other side of the city, life is much calmer. The sea breeze caresses the outline of Las Canteras beach – by right the best urban beach in the world! Low tide and three kilometers of coastline serve as an outdoor sports ground for thousands of people. And so day after day … every day! Incredible? It’s just that you’re in the city with the best climate on the planet. On one side of the beach rises the majestic Alfredo Kraus Concert Hall, on the other, novice surfers take their first lessons in conquering the waves, learn how to stand up, where it is better to sit, how to behave on the water and how to choose the very one, your own wave. . Everyone looks towards the sea, where the blue waves merge with the blue clear sky. Without a doubt, another perfect day to surf, but also a great day for a paragliding flight from Giles Beach.

A few kilometers from the center of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a group of tourists goes to the Viera y Clavijo Botanical Garden. The silence reigning in it is only an imaginary calmness of the inhabitants of this unique ecosystem. Frogs, insects, birds and other animal species live for their own pleasure among hundreds of endemics of the Canary Islands, among the most incredible tree crowns, giant cacti, fleshy shrubs decorated with flowers, framed by bridges and ponds … the sound of the wind between the unique dragon trees suddenly subsides you find yourself in thickets of lianas and lindens. You seem to have entered another world, moist and fresh, filled with the aromas of the forest.

And a completely different landscape opens up in the neighborhood … a couple slowly walks around a huge crater, evenly colored in both green and black tones, reminiscent of the volcanic origin of this island. Grapevine bushes entangle the lava soil, ripe bunches are waiting to be collected, compressed and closed in barrels, in which a unique and very specific local wine will mature. A cool, refreshing breeze sways the plants and once again reminds you that this unique city is surrounded by the ocean on all sides. A modern and cosmopolitan city that has managed to combine and absorb the traditions of the various peoples who once inhabited it or just come here to visit. A city of complete harmony, a city full of opportunities, very European, but with a subtle charm of America and Africa. The city, as if frozen in its ideal climate, is ready to meet people from all over the world to make them truly happy.

San bartolo: The Painted Murals of San Bartolo

The Painted Murals of San Bartolo

Description

San Bartolo is located within the biological corridor of the Ixcan River Basin, northeast of the Department of Petén, and 42 kilometers north of Uaxactun. It has the most beautiful, polychrome murals of all of the archaeological sites found in Guatemala, making it a proposed candidate for Cultural Heritage status for its unique value on an artistic level.

The archaeological site covers an area of 4 kilometers², has several areas that contain monumental architecture, highlighting the groups formed by the main square, including the Pyramid of the Paintings, the Saraguate Group, which functioned as astronomical complex, and the Jabalí Group which has funeral connotations. The area also lies within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, surrounded by a forest concession called the Árbol Verde Community, which is comprised of nine communities: El Caoba, el Remate, Socotzal, El Porvenir, Las Viñas, Ixlu, Macanché, Naranjo and Jobompich.

The most important and impressive part of the San Bartolo site is a structure called the Pyramid of the Paintings, featuring a construction sequence that dates back to the Late Pre-Classic period (250 BC-250 AD). Here the Maya erected a domed building that within its interior are one-of-a-kind murals, painted with beautiful and bright colors. The murals are complex mythological scenes relating to the Maize God and the creation of the world, as well as the enthronement of a sovereign, which is part of the historical process of the Maya. The outside of the building is decorated with stucco masks flanking the stairways and entrance to the site. Of all the buildings, the Pyramid of the Paintings is far and away the most complex and showcases, through its murals, a long tradition of painting and story telling.

The beginning of the occupation at San Bartolo dates back to the early part of the Middle Pre-Classic period (± 800 BC) and carried on through to the Late Classic period (900 AD), but with interruptions in between. The first settlers arrived to the site in the Middle Pre-Classic period and occupied what is now known as the south-central section of the site. Between the years 600-300 BC San Bartolo was a village in training. Residents were settled in scattered groups, which gradually grew into a larger settlement and the society was organized by groups of families (lineages) that shared culture, language and territory.

As agriculture became more important, more complex irrigation systems were created to increase crop outputs and sustain the increased population. Next came the ceremonial center, the demand of ceramic utensils and a consolidated social stratification as a result of the division of labor. To this period also belongs the construction of the first of eight architectural phases of Structure 1, known as the Pyramid of the Paintings, and these sub-structures were constructed during short intervals of time.

It was during the Late Pre-Classic (300 BC-150 AD) that San Bartolo became a major center of the Ixcan River region, as confirmed by the evidence of architectural patterns, iconography, and art, expressed through murals, friezes and masks symbolizing mythic stories that reflected their social and political differentiation. Also during this time, the most complex buildings known to this site were erected.

By the end of the Late Pre-Classic and the start of the Early Classic period there was a dramatic departure from San Bartolo. The public buildings and known ritual sites were no longer in use and the Xultun archaeological site (located just 8 kilometers away) used this time to develop. However during the Late Classic period (600-900 AD) new work in San Bartolo appeared again. It is understood that the habitants at this time used only the residential areas and made pilgrimages or sacred rituals in the abandoned structures and archaeological evidence seems to indicate that this population belonged to the Xultun suburban areas.

From the Late Pre-Classic period (400 BC-300 AD) some farmers built their homes around the city, where they were closer not only to water but also to their fields and the flint resources they needed to make and maintain their tools. At this same time the first rulers emerged in San Bartolo and one of the fantastic murals was commissioned, circa 100 BC. Unfortunately by the year 250 AD the wetlands had dried up and became the lowlands that they are today. This transformation caused a crisis over water resources and San Bartolo and all of the surrounding areas were abandoned.

Maya Art. The meaning of the polychrome murals:

The San Bartolo murals are within the Pyramid of the Paintings, Sub-1A, on the northern and western walls of the site. The paintings show a detailed portrait of Maya mythology and their beliefs in the creation of the world. Its existence is dated back to 100 BC and is important to note that the reading of the murals are done from left to right and top to bottom. These murals also have a dimension of 2.00 x 1.50 m (on the northern wall) and 9.45 mx 2.20 m (on the western wall).

The murals located within the Pyramids of Paintings, on the north wall, show mythical scenes that narrate the birth of the first men through a ritual that is conducted by the Maize God. This scene is further reflected by the images of infants that represent the four directional cardinal points and the mundi axis. The west wall shows one of the most significant themes of creation and kingship known to the Pre-Classic Maya. The first 10 figures (from left to right) form the basis of directional trees for the four aspects of the Ajaw, embodiment of royalty. The location of this refers to the four directions concerning the basic obligation of kings, the establishment and maintenance of an area. Adding to this is the painful act of piercing the penis. This act denotes an effort and sacrifice, whether in personal terms as the governing body or in a broader social sense such as the human role in war and conflict.

The next portion of the west wall shows the mythical cycle of the Maize God with an ambiguous reference to royalty. Two royal coronation scenes flank the central portion of the mural. The first character is receiving the Jester God Trifoliate and the other character is shown with a royal headdress displaying the Jester God Trifoliate, which could be a historical individual. The relationship of the Maize God with royalty probably concerns the widespread identification of a ruler with corn, not only as a personification of the mundi axis, but also as the provider of economic stability and power. The central portion of this section is about three epic episodes, the bird of the aquatic Maize God, his death, and the emergence of the tortoise, all which appear in Late Pre-Classic Maya iconography. These scenes also illustrate the cycle of human life on earth: birth, death and resurrection, and the last is accompanied by dance and music, through which the Maya contact their ancestors.

The north wall shows a scene that includes nine characters. All figures are standing or kneeling on a feathered serpent. The scene is dominated by the Maize God who is standing and moving toward the viewer’s left, looking over his shoulder at two kneeling female figures behind him. In turn, behind the women is another woman who is participating in another activity and who is described to be the wife of the Maize God. To the right of this woman are two characters that are carrying sacred bundles and in front of these characters are hieroglyphic texts that unfortunately are not possible to decipher. It is however possible that these texts indicate the names or functions of these people or the contents of the sacred bundles.

To the left of the Maize God you can see two kneeling figures. The first is a male with a blackened face carrying a gourd, pumpkin or chuj, while the second figure to the left is a woman, carrying a basket or bowl of tamales. To the left of the serpent with the nine characters, is a different scene where a character is carrying an ax (possibly a warrior), as well as a scene consisting of five infants symbolizing birth and the four cardinal directional points with the mundi axis in the center. In this center there is again an image of a gourd, pumpkin or chuj, symbolizing breath and blood.

On the southern half of the western wall is a depiction of the five trees of life, within the context of sacrificial offerings, including a bloodletting ritual showing the offering of blood to four individuals. On the other portion of the western wall there are characters going through the action of piercing their penises, as mentioned earlier, with branches pointed to the four trees. Although the upper portion of Figure 1 is absent, the rest of the body has prominent spots, just like the other three figures, which are displaying large spots at their cheeks. These four young men are the quadripartite aspects of the hero twins known as Hunahpu in the Popol Vuh and Hun Ajaw in Classic Maya texts. In Classic Maya writing the Ajaw day, meaning God or King in Mayan languages, commonly appears as a personified form and in these texts and iconography, Hun Ajaw is often identified by a white band on a head and displaying a red stripe across the forehead, which is seen in one of the better preserved figures in this section of the mural. This band, portrayed in this scene, is partially obscured by the prominent Jester God jewelry, a symbol of royalty, and other elaborate headbands extending around the headdress and chin, moving from the back of the head to the front. The same type of headband seems to be carried by four other individuals. Further, this strip of cloth, when knotted, denoted high status during the Late Pre-Classic period. Stela 25 of Izapa shows the Late Pre-Classic period form of Vucub Caquix and Hunahpu with the Hero Twins who are wearing the knotted headdress. This same band on the heads of royals appears on many of the contemporary conquest works such as Mound J at Monte Alban, monuments exhibiting the defeat of the Zapotec gods under toponymic signs from their communities.

In traditional Maya thought the four trees at the corners of the world’s four sides denoted the socially constructed space of straight lines as in a house or milpa, in contrast to the chaotic growth and winding paths of the wild jungle. For the ancient Maya the relationship of authority and government with the four directions was not limited only to the community but referred also to the greater political and territorial domains. By appointment of the personified form of the kings or Ajaw, before four trees in the world, the San Bartolo artists from the Late Pre-Classic period exhibited their reign as an ancient institution, despite going backwards in time of creation.

Three of the four figures of Ajaw appear as fishermen or hunters, submitting their prey on the fire as sacrificial offerings to the world’s trees. All creatures of sacrifice are facing upward with tripod stands smoldering in their abdomen and chest. In the background one can see black blood dripping from a wounded a fish, a large fish on an offering plate in front of the world’s trees, one of the hunter figures taking a deer and offering it to another tree, as well as a pair of birds on a woven bag attached to the other character identified as the hunter of birds. Finally, the last figure is standing in front of another tree and instead of an animal sacrifice, the base of the fourth tree is covered with yellow sprouts or buds letting off an aroma, and these are the same buds in fact seen in the feathered serpent on the northern wall mural.

Along with the fisherman and hunters there is a large mythical bird holding a two-headed snake in its beak, perched on each of the four trees of the world. This creature is an early form of Vucub Caquix, the bird monster defeated by the Hero Twins. The art of the Late Pre-Classic and Classic Maya contain explicit scenes of the mythical battle between the Hero Twins and this bird monster. The four Ajaws in the sequence shown in San Bartolo show no antagonism, but only offerings in front of each bird and the trees of the world. The fourth tree corresponds more closely to the fruit tree in which the Vucub Caquix from the Late Pre-Classic and Classic period is perched. This tree is also seen in the XVI Century Popol Vuh and is called the nance, a pine plant with large, round fruit and pine leaves, however in the Late Pre-Classic and Classic period was identified as the Calabash tree (Crescentia spp.).

North of the fourth tree is another figure, the representation of the Principal Bird deity. In view of their virtually identical attributes, this is certainly the same bird in the tree as seen in the pumpkin mentioned earlier, but in this case it is descending from heaven to the tree branches. Similarly, Stela 2 of Izapa shows the bird being thrown into the tree and the pumpkin resting at its base.

Below the descended bird and the celestial band is another interesting figure, a duck-billed figure that is dancing and singing and is accompanied by three songbirds. The physical proportions of this being similar to the Tuxtla statuette dated to the mid-second century BC. Both duck-shaped beings are probably early forms of the Aztec Wind God, Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl, who usually wears a mask with a beak of a duck. A step cut of Structure 33 of the Late Classic period of Yaxchilan, denotes epigraphically a being with a duck-bill, knows as IK ‘K’UH or “God of Wind” and the Classic art of this deity shows the sign Ik’ marked on its wings and body.

Along with the four trees of the world with the figures of birds and the mythic Hero Twins, there is a fifth tree accompanied by the Maize God. The fifth tree most likely represents the center of the world, being surrounded by the other trees representing the directional points. Among the classic Olmec, Maya and Aztec civilizations, the deities of corn were closely identified with the mundi axis.

On the northern half of the western wall, the central scenes are flanked by two scenes of royal ascent depicting at least two such examples known at this early date. The scene to the south shows a strip or cloth marked with a human footprint, hanging on a platform, a feature also found in the four scenes detailing the rise in Piedras Negras. The San Bartolo murals also show in the background a jaguar chained to a tree and it is assumed that these creatures correspond to human victims in the events that took place during the ascension to power during the Late Classic period.

The two male figures involved in the royal ascension are sitting on a platform on the western wall, marking themselves front of center stage, concerning the mythical cycle of the Maize God. The ascendant ruler sits on a jaguar skin while receiving a royal jewel from the second individual. The accompanying figure is clearly the Maize God. Although most of the head of the seated god is absent, except for the profile, including its extended upper lip, indicates that it is most likely the Maize God. The figure also shows an aspect of the Maize God bird, wearing a headdress of bird wings and a tail. The Maize God offers the Jester God the symbol of royalty, ascending the deity. Incised plates at the Dumbarton Oaks museum show the ascending god with such a fixture on his head and another example of this is found on Stela 11of Kaminaljuyu.

The ascension scene on the northern part of the western wall is better preserved and shows a figure showing a royal robe subsidiary to the upward figure. In contrast to the pair of deities that appear on the stage of succession further south, the figures hear appear to be very human and this scene could be showing a historical rather than mythical event. The final glyph in the accompanying text is clearly the glyph Ajaw but it could be that this is an appropriate title to a God or also the historical king.

After the partially reconstructed avian figure of the Maize God, there is about 20 centimeters of the mural missing until the next series of figures concerning the mythology of the Maize God and its dynamic relationship with the land, here shown as a large turtle. The only part of the missing section that can be identified of this complex scene is at the top center portion of the southern bank and it is a human leg. The rest of this important scene that is visible depicts the Maize God infant being cradled in the arms of another man kneeling in the water. In many regions of the ancient and contemporary Mesoamerica, when there is an image of an infant it is typically related to the concept of short corn seed, which grows corn.

To the right of the figure is a massive turtle with a curved beak and a cave-like quadripartite body. This turtle denotes the soft, round, earth floating in the primordial sea, a widespread metaphor, amply used among the ancient Maya. On the mural there are individuals seated around both sides of the cave turtle. The figure on the south side of the turtle is Chaak and the figure to the north is the Terrestrial Water God that appears in Classic Maya inscriptions in personified forms during the Tun period of 360 days and the numeral 13. Both figures have a flexed or extended arm pointed towards an enthusiastic dancing Maize God who is touching a turtle shell drum with a bird’s claw leg, an early version of a major episode of the classic Maya creation mythology, Maize God dancing out of the tortoise.

On the north side of the turtle, opposite of the baby Maize God, is another figure, the Maize God in a diving position with his legs over his head. This figure is in a contortionist position, a position commonly adopted by the Maize God and the Reptile World Tree from the Classic Period reptile referring to individuals as the axis mundi, growing the underworld skyward. In the case of this character, however, the Maize God does not hold itself to the land, but falls from the sky with outstretched arms and directly below the Maize God is a band of black, wavy, vertical water. This scene most likely refers to the death of the Maize God, using the Classic Maya expression of death, och ha, meaning “enters the water”. It is important to note that it is also extremely rare to find a depiction of the water Maize God.

The epigraphic information contained in the murals are a valuable source for scientists to track the initiation, development and consolidation of the Maya script, which lasted all the way until the period of the Spanish conquest.

Justification of Outstanding Universal Value

Polychrome murals discovered at the site of San Bartolo have scenes depicting the creation myth and worship of the Maize God from the worldview of the ancient Maya and are dated to 100 BC, becoming one of the few examples that date back to the Pre-Classic Maya area. These paintings also have representations associated with the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Quiche and one of the most important literary documents from pre-Hispanic civilizations in the Americas. Finally, these murals’ hieroglyphic texts are extremely valuable, given they were written in a grammatical system before the structure of the Classic Maya was put in place, which together with other evidence, turns out to be unique in Mesoamerica.

criterion (i): The San Bartolo archaeological site is surrounded by tropical rainforest and has evidence that it was an important Pre-Classic center, given its early ceremonial architecture, but also the wealth of art, which is one of the few examples of Pre-Classic Maya, including painted murals located within the structure of the Pyramid of Paintings, Sub-1A, showing hieroglyphic inscriptions, proving Maya writing was already developed in the lowlands around 300 BC-100 AD. (Garrison, 2005). These spectacular murals show an established base of figures during the Pre-Classic period that can be seen on stone monuments, carvings and other murals found in Tikal and Uaxactun. Valdés (1990) indicates that at these sites, the paintings were located in a palace complex belonging to the elite ruling class, indicating the importance of the site during the Pre-Classic period.

criterion (iii): The splendid wall paintings, remarkably well preserved, inside the chamber of the Pyramid of Paintings, Sub-1A, promises to be one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the entire Maya region. The paintings show a detailed representation of the Mayan creation mythology and passages from the Popol Vuh, constituting one of the more developed art programs, devoted to native mythology and known to the Pre-Hispanic New World. It should also be added that these murals have a unique age, dated to the first century BC. At the present time the murals are in an extraordinary state of conservation, indicating the quality of how they were created and making it possible to conduct advanced studies about the origin and development of Maya writing.

The preservation and study of this site may reveal the history of mural painting in general and more about the Pre-Classic Maya civilization. Furthermore, it is the only example in the Maya area, from this period, of mural painting so well executed.

Statements of authenticity and/or integrity

The San Bartolo murals are of great value by being the oldest know Maya pictorial tradition, demonstrating unique characteristics because they are also representative of the beliefs that prevailed throughout Mesoamerica on the religious aspects and those of kingship as descendants of the gods of overworld. These features also show the development of painting, intellectual, cultural, artistic and technological aspects of the Maya society based in this area. This evidence demonstrates that the Pre-Classic, pre-Hispanic population of the Maya lowlands had already reached a high level of complexity and sophistication, dismissing the theory that the Pre-Classic period was the beginning of the Maya civilization. Further, the Maize God and the Hero Twins stories of the Popol Vuh was an ongoing thematic topic seen in other artistic representations until the time of the conquest.

Another fact that contributes to its unique features is its content, as it shows the Maya worldview related to the creation story, the four cardinal points and the Popol Vuh (sacred book of the Quiché Maya). These creationists and mythological concepts show a high level of philosophical sophistication and the degree of their artistic skills. These murals are also unique not only for their antiquity, but also for their degree of conservation.

The importance of these murals supports the need to strengthen national identity and awareness in Guatemala and for cultural heritage to be protected by both the local population and the country as a whole. All archaeological research done on the murals of San Bartolo has been associated with the study and conservation of architecture associated with the murals. The study of these paintings also allows us a glimpse at the working techniques used by the several artists involved in its implementation, as well as types of brushes used and the management of human scale that was in the play, as a single unified concept. This is another reason why it is vital that conservation and preservation steps be taken before the site and the paintings are irreparably damaged by the actions of nature or vandalism by looters and diggers.

Comparison with other similar properties

For its pictorial, stylistic features and architecture, San Bartolo resembles other Pre-Classic cities such as Uaxactun, El Mirador, Nakbé, Cival, Holmul, and Tikal (declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1979), which also has masks decorating the entrance to the main campus. As for paintings, there is no other example anywhere in the Maya area. Although there are known Late Classic period murals at Calakmul and Bonampak, but their uses were different. In both places the murals are of historical scenes, not mythological as is seen in San Bartolo.

There are very few early examples of writing that can be used to compare to the texts of San Bartolo, however there are some examples: Monument I of El Porton and Kaminaljuyu (in the Guatemalan highlands), San José Mogote and Monte Alban (in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico), Izapa (Chiapas) and Takalik Abaj (in the Guatemalan lowlands).

How Are Barro Negro Ceramics Made?

Although the name implies that the clay used to create barro negro pottery is black from the beginning, it’s actually the firing process that gives this pottery its distinctive hue. By firing it in a sealed (and usually wood-fueled) kiln, the clay oxidizes and turns black; however, it’s the quartz polishing process that gives it that famed reflective shine. Look out for detailed barro negro pieces with cutouts and carvings.

Overview

Leadind at ‘El Cancho’

It is probably the southern most sport climbing spot of continental Europe. Despite it is not a big climbing site full with many famous routes, the simplicity of its proposed routes, the easiness of its access and comfort of the place, the good quality of the rocks and equipment, the excellent weather almost all year round and, especially, the incredible scenery and location of the crag, next to the picturesque village of Tarifa, the cool and beautiful Punta Paloma Beach, the Straight of Gibraltar and the views of the north coast of Morocco make worth a visit to this crag. Therefore, San Bartolo is the best known climbing spot of the whole Cádiz province.

There is a very international ambient in this place. Next to the locals, many visitors from Europe come over this place attracted by a promise of holiday with good windsurfing and/or kite-surfing, beach, sun and fun. This all in a location of natural beauty in one of the most special places of Europe, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, where Africa meets Europe.

Getting There

Top roping at ‘El Cancho’

There are two approaches to San Bartolo crag, both from the main coast road N-340. Here I will describe the shorter and easier one.

Coming from Tarifa village, at the very Straight of Gibraltar, go to the NW over the N-340 direction Cádiz for over 11 km. ½ km after have passed(to the left) the famous and exotic beach of Punta Paloma(with its impressive sand dune), at km point 72 there is a road to the left with a sign of ‘Prohibido el paso. Zona Militar ’ (forbidden to trepass. Militar area). Two wite painted big pillars, each one at each side of the entrance of the road, is a unmistaken feature. Just ignore the signs of forbidden to trepass and drive this road for about three kilometres. At the only main cross point go right (a sign indicates ‘Betis 1.5 km) and drive for some hundreds of meters till you find a bad road to the left, just before entering the area with houses. Shortly you will arrive to a parking place (Way Point 36° 05’ 15’’ N ~ 5° 42’ 56’’ W).

From the parking a path goes into a meadow and up into the forest of eucaliptus trees. After less than ten minutes walking up with southern bearing we will arrive at the crags ‘Mariano’ (at the ‘Zona de Arriba’ or ‘upper area’), one of the climbing spots of the place.

General Features of the Crag

There are 280 routes, with a middle height of 20 mtrs (maximum height is 90 mtrs).

The most of them are thought for sport climbing, but there are some trad climbing routes as well. Lately it is becoming a very popular boulder zone too, with more than 30 problems so far.

The climbing is on hard sandstone lying walls and overhangs, where good technique of foot placement, equilibrium and adherence is necessary. The most of the routes are good equipped with trustable anchors. Far from continuity, the short routes ask for an explosive and technique exercise.

Some sectors are under the shadow. Some other are under the sun. The area of the Straight of Gibraltar can be very windy.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CLIMBING SPOTS

There are two main areas: “Zona de Arriba” and “Tajo del Búho”

In “Zona de Arriba” there are different spots:

1. Los Cernícalos (S) Lying wall with outcrops of sandstone. Easy.

2. El Cancho (W) Upside down flat layers form an almost vertical wall. Not too difficult but adherence climbing.

3. La Habitación (S & N) Two walls parallel one in front of the other. Pared del Sol is a lying easy wall. The Pared de Dandy a difficult overhang flat wall.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

San Bartolo experiences extreme seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.

The muggier period of the year lasts for 3.8 months, from December 25 to April 17, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 17% of the time. The month with the most muggy days in San Bartolo is February, with 18.8 days that are muggy or worse.

The month with the fewest muggy days in San Bartolo is September, with 0. 0 days that are muggy or worse.

Methodology

For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.

Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.

Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0. 04 inches of precipitation or more.

Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.

Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures in San Bartolo are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

Fragments of the ancient Mayan calendar found in the pyramid

The earliest evidence of the existence of the Mayan calendar, found inside the ruins of a pyramid in Central America, boggles the imagination of scientists.

A carved figure symbolizing a day called “7 deer” on mural fragments dating from the third century BC, found inside a pyramid ruin in Guatemala, marks the earliest known use of the Mayan calendar, one of the known accomplishments of this ancient culture.

According to CNN, citing Reuters, the ancient fragments were found at the archaeological site of San Bartolo in the jungles of northern Guatemala, made famous by the discovery in 2001 of a burial chamber with intricate and colorful frescoes dating from around 100 BC, depicting ceremonial and mythological scenes of the Maya.

Parts with a relief image of “7 deer” were found inside the same pyramid of Las Pinturas, where there were still intact later frescoes. As with this structure, the Maya often built what were originally temples of modest size, and then built ever larger versions on top of earlier ones. This pyramid eventually reached a height of about 30 meters.

The relief figure found on fragments of the fresco for “7 deer”, one of the 260 named days of the calendar, consisted of the ancient writing of the number seven along the contour of the deer’s head.

University of Texas Mesoamerican art and writing professor David Stewart, lead author of the study published in Science Advances, described the fragments as “two little pieces of white plaster that would fit in your hand that were once attached to a stone wall.”

“The wall was deliberately destroyed by the ancient Maya when they were rebuilding their ceremonial quarters – it eventually turned into a pyramid. The two parts join together and have a black calligraphic inscription opening with the date “7 deer”. The rest is hard to read,” Stuart added. “Paintings from this period are highly fragmented, unlike paintings from a later, better-known camera.”

So far, the earliest Mayan calendar designations date back to the first century BC.

The Mayan calendar, based on observations of the movements of the sun, moon and planets, was based on a ritual cycle of 260 named days. The 260-day calendar, called the Tzolkin, was one of several interconnected Maya time systems, including the 365-day solar year, a larger system called the Long Count, and the lunar system.

The calendar was one of the achievements of an ancient culture that also developed a writing system, with the earliest examples also from San Bartolo. The Maya built temples, pyramids, palaces and observatories and practiced sophisticated agriculture without the use of metal tools or wheels.

San Bartolo was a regional center during the Preclassic Maya period, from about 400 BC. to 250 AD This century laid the foundation for the rise of Mayan culture in the Classic period that followed, famous for such cities as Tikal in Guatemala, Palenque in Mexico, and Copan in Honduras.

Approximately 7,000 fresco fragments have been found in San Bartolo, some as large as fingernails and others as large as 20 by 40 cm. Anthropology professor and study co-author Heather Hurst of Skidmore College in New York State called it a “giant jigsaw puzzle.” .

“7 deer” and other designations seen on 11 San Bartolo mural fragments examined during the study allude to a mature artistic and writing tradition in the region at the time, suggesting that the calendar had already been in use for many years.

“There are likely to be other examples elsewhere, perhaps even earlier ones,” says Heather Hurst. “The writing tradition presented in these 11 fragments is varied, expressive, their ink preparation technology and fluidity of calligraphy are impressive – it was a well-established tradition of writing and art.”

“This calendar system lasted for at least 2,200 years and was maintained by the Maya during a time of incredible change, stress and tragedy,” says David Stewart.

SAN BARTOLO PARK: VILLAGES, TRAILS AND EVERYTHING FOR HEALTH

How to see in San Bartolo Park. A quick guide to discovering San Bartolo Park: mountain bike trails, the history of its villages, Vallugola Bay and all you can do.
Il Monte San Bartolo Natural Park , one of the four nature reserves of the Marche, covers the coastal zone, which it gives Gabicce Mare descends to Pesaro , an area of spurs and small valleys, hills that gradually degrade into the sea, on the Adriatic coast. An interesting feature is the presence of impressive cliffs and caves that impressed even Dante Alighieri, who mentioned them in The Divine Comedy, while the highest heights are in the hills Monte San Bartolo , Between Castellaro , Castellimezzo e Fiorenzuola di Focara .

The entire territory, besides that is the main green and natural reserve of extremely habitat of animals, migration of birds and wintering of various species of birds , is also very interesting from a historical point of view. and archaeological. In fact, there are many finds and archaeological finds dating back to the Neolithic period – especially in the Monte Castellaro area or in the Colambarone area on the ancient Via Flaminia, several villages with a thousand years of history that still have a lot to say, Renaissance villas and gardens that to be discovered, vanished ports of Greek origin to be explored.

Descending from the north, the first discovered village is Gabicce, with a population of about 6,000 inhabitants, which, however, grows exponentially in summer, becoming one of the most famous and popular seaside resorts on the entire Adriatic coast. Gabicce Mare , famous seaside resort with sandy beaches and crystal clear sea, has its own separate area in the hilly part; going up to Cape San Bartolo, actually Mount Gabicce . The origins of the fortress and the castle, the remains of which, unfortunately, have almost completely disappeared, with the exception of the church of Sant’Ermete, are associated with the lands of Focar, although it probably owes its name to Gabbice to the family that owned it, in fact the toponym Castrum is attested, Ligabitigi, who later evolved into Ligabicci.

Not far away we find Castelldimezzo , so named because it is located between Gabicce and Fiorenzuola di Focara , a natural balcony located at an altitude of 200 meters, which offers a breathtaking view of the castle Gradara in San Marino do Gibbo del Catria. Castrum medii, which was used as the residence of the Bishops of Ravenna, was first owned by the Malatesta family, then by the Sforza and then by Della Rovere. Today, only traces of walls remain from the castle, and the fortress is completely lost; Very interesting from a historical, artistic and anthropological point of view, the church dedicated to the saints of Ravenna Apollinare and Christoforo today is the Sanctuary of Santissimo Crocifisso. This is a very important place of worship, here is a crucifix from the late 400th century, found in a chest after the sinking of the ship. The inhabitants of Castelldimezzo and Fiorenzuola claimed that the decision of who kept the precious artifact was left to providence. Loading the crate onto a cart drawn by two oxen, they made their way to Casteldimezzo without hesitation, stopping in front of the church. Several miracles are attributed to the crucifixion, which has since been kept here along with other important works such as an altarpiece commissioned in 1510 by Giovanni Sforza, including one that happened during the Medici siege in 1517.

Fiorenzuola di Focara , located on a rocky spur overlooking the sea and is part of four castles – together with Castelldimezzo, Gradara and Granarola – built between 1889 and XNUMX centuries. to check out the Siligata Pass, the border between the churches of Ravenna and Pesaro. The name focara was added in XNUMX, probably due to the presence of signal lights for sailors. From a long history of defensive character, three of the five bastions that marked the walls and some of the portals have survived, while the evocative bell tower with the remains of the clock of the church of Sant’Andrea, of which there are documents testifying to its existence as far back as the twelfth century, which all still today, with his losses, marks the course of the clock.

A particularly magical and evocative place is Vallugola . Of the ancient Greek port, now only the bay has disappeared, a magnificent natural bay between the capes of Gabicce and Casteldimezzo. In fact, there are many archaeological finds that confirm the presence and frequent use of this port by the Greeks who climbed up the Adriatic to reach the cities of Adria and Spina. In addition, on a hill overlooking the bay, the epigraph speaks of the existence of a temple dedicated to Jupiter the Light, the patron saint of sailors. Today the area is a privileged tourist destination for those who come from the sea and decide to land thanks to the marina on the wonderful rocky beach. To enhance the charm and charm of this bay, there is a legend that speaks of an entire city submerged in the crystal clear waters of Vallugola, the ancient Roman city of Valbruna, also known as the Atlantis of the Adriatic, however there is no certainty. track; in vain they searched for traces of the mysteriously disappeared city, even if someone on the clearest days says that he clearly saw the remains of temples and columns.

The park is above all nature in its purest form, among holm oaks and oaks, among hazelnuts and hawthorn, olive trees and cultivated vineyards, it is often visited by lovers of outdoor sports. Monte San Bartolo Park is a great place with a huge number of paths, streets and mules that you can cross and explore on foot or by bike. In particular, for bikers, the park offers 23 km of panoramic road that connects the municipalities of Gabicce Mare with Pesaro, and a series of trails, from the easiest to the most difficult, steep and rocky, which can also be traveled by mountain bike. routes suitable for all, registered and self-regulated by local biker associations that have developed an ethical code of conduct that respects the nature they ride.

Many activities are offered for every taste, for those who love nature, the park offers excursions of all kinds: for bikers and trekkers, trails, streets, mule trails are numerous and cross the entire territory, from rocky spurs to hills, gradually to the beach, between forests and rocks, brooms and laurels to the sandy coast, a wonderful and unusual landscape opens up. While for lovers of art, history and culture, there are villages and villas to explore, thanks also to excursions, including a visit to the Imperial Villa, a magnificent Renaissance residence or the Jewish cemetery located on the slopes of Mount San Bartolo. Also for lovers of archeology there are several interesting places, one of which is the site of Colombarone, probably related to a residential complex of the fourth century BC. C. built along the Via Flaminia, showing five rooms with mosaic floors.

We base comfort level on dew point, as it determines whether sweat will evaporate from the skin, cooling the body. A lower dew point makes you feel more dry, while a higher dew point makes you feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between day and night, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while temperatures may drop at night, a wet day usually gives way to a wet night.

In San Bartolo there are extreme seasonal fluctuations in the level of perceived humidity.

The wettest period of lasts 3.8 months , from December 25, to April 17, . At this time, the comfort level is characterized as damp , stuffy or heavy at least 17% of the time. The month with the most days with high humidity in San Bartolo is February , with 18.8 days conditions raw or worse.

The month with the fewest days of high humidity in San Bartolo is September , with 0.0 days conditions wet or worse.

* Actual – Actual water temperature
** Average – Average water temperature this day in past years
*** Forecast – Our forecast water temperature

Actual water temperature close to shore may vary by several degrees compared to the indicated values. This can be noticeable after heavy rain or after long periods of strong winds. Some downwinds cause cold deep waters to replace surface waters that have been heated by the sun.

To develop a forecast, we use our own mathematical model, which takes into account the current change in water temperature, historical data and main weather trends, wind strength and direction, air temperature in each particular region. We also consider data for other resorts in Peru.

El Grifo Wine Museum, Lanzarote

The El Grifo Wine Museum gives tourists a real taste of island history. As well as a fascinating insight into the unique methods of viniculture employed on Lanzarote. And is housed in the oldest bodega in the Canary Islands – dating back to 1775.

Wine production has long been centrally important to the economy of the island – and boasts a rich heritage – as vines have been under cultivation on Lanzarote for at least 500 years. In fact, back in the 16th and 17th centuries sweet Canarian Malvasia wine was one of Europe´s top tipples.

Regarded by the cognoscenti as the ´Nectar of the Gods´ bottles of malmsey or sack (as it was more widely known then) graced the tables of European Kings and Queens and was fulsomely praised by no-less a PR man than William Shakespeare. Who had something of a vested interest in promoting the stuff as he enjoyed an annual allowance from the Crown of 268 gallons – in appreciation for his role as poet laureate.

Europe´s Top Tipple

By the end of the 17th century exports of Malvasia had reached record levels – with some six million litres heading into Northern European ports such as Amsterdam and London. Where this highly regarded beverage commanded a premium price over wines from other climes.

Malvasia Grapes

Today, the Malvasia grape is still grown on Lanzarote – and underpins the wide range of wines that are created by the El Grifo bodega, the largest winery on Lanzarote (and the second biggest in the whole of the Canary Islands). Where anything up to 700,000 litres a year are produced both for domestic consumption and for export around the world.

Award Winning Wines

Indeed El Grifo wines still garner plaudits from those in the know – picking up prestigious awards such as a Gold Medal for their beautifully packaged fortified wine, Canari, at the 2007 International Wine and Spirit Championship in London (the Oscars of the wine world).

And a silver medal for their Rose in the heart of pink country at Le Mondial de Rose in Cannes (a major achievement given the quantity and quality of the home-grown competition).

Secrets of Success

So how has a once relatively small player in the world of wines managed to pull off such a feat? Especially as the bodega was only founded some 40 years after most of Lanzarote´s wine region was covered in layers of lava by the volcanic eruptions of 1730-1736.

The answers can all be found within the walls of the El Grifo Wine Museum – where highly knowledgeable and multil lingual guides provide visitors with a fascinating insight into the bodegas production methods and innovative philosophy.

The Wine Museum was developed under the aegis of the ubiquitous island born artist and architect César Manrique around eighteen years ago. Along with the bodegas highly distinctive griffin logo. And is divided into a number of zones in what was once the estates bodega – enabling visitors to gain a step by step insight into the production process from grape to glass.

For example, in the El Lagar area guests find out how grapes have been pressed here over the centuries – using a variety of different types of weird and wonderful machinery – some ancient examples of which date back hundreds of years. Amongst them a massive giant beam screw press, called El Husillo.

Whist in El Bodegon we find out how wines were stored and fermented in massive limestone tanks – which are now used to display a fine array of wine making machinery and gadgetry, such as pumps, corking machines and copper stills.

Tradtional Architecture

All of these exhibits are set against the backdrop of a fantastic example of Canarian architecture, featuring thick white washed walls and wooden ceilings that are hundreds of years old.

To the delight of guests each tour concludes with a tasting. Allowing visitors to sample the wine of their choice from the bodegas portfolio of thirteen different varieties.

The most popular of which is the dry white or seco – reflecting current day preferences for dry over sweet wines. Although visitors who are really keen to sample a taste of tradition can also enjoy sweet or semi-sweet Malvasia wines that are very close cousins to those once enjoyed by Shakespeare and the aristocracy of Europe.

Tour Times

Guided tours take place every day at the following fixed times: 11.00, 11.30, 12.00, 12.30, 13.00, 15.00, 15.30, 16.00, 16.30 and 17.00. And visitors can choose from two tour packages. The standard tour costs €3 per person and features one free tasting. Whilst the superior tour costs €5 per person and features a more in-depth tasting session, featuring five wines, cheese and crackers.

Winery El Grifo | Spanish Wine Lover

A guardian of the historic wines of Lanzarote, this producer still keeps two ancient casks of Malvasía dating back to 1881, as well as old documents explaining the way these wines were made in the past. Brothers Juan José and Fermín Otamendi are the fourth generation in charge of El Grifo since their great-grandfather acquired several vineayrds in the eponymous site of La Geria, a region with breathtaking volcanic landscapes, between 1870 and 1880. Previously, the winery was in the hands of two other families: the Torres’s, who built most of the old buildings and the De Castro’s, owners between 1820 and 1880. Established in 1775, El Grifo is the oldest winery in the Canary Islands and one of the oldest in Spain.

Paradoxically, Lanzarote was the last island to plant vines in the archipelago. Focused on cereal crops, vines owere planted only after the volcanic eruptions of 1730 to 1736 –ash, called rofe or picón in the island, protects the soil and prevents the evaporation of water. Local producers were mere suppliers of wine until well into the 20th century. Although there is evidence of some bottlings of Malvasia in the 1930s, the grandfather of the current owners followed the model of Port and Malaga wines. Wines were aged in the local port of Arrecife, then shipped to Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Winemaking was thus conditioned by trade and transport. Today, tourism drives the buoyant local market; 85% of the half million bottles produced annually by El Grifo are sold on the islands.

El Grifo owns 32 hectares of vines, grows an additional 30 from relatives and buys grapes from around 300 purveyors, most of whom are vocational growers with an average age of 72 years. The lack of generational replacement is one of the biggest problems in the area, as well as the scarcity of water (average rainfall is barely 100 mm per year) that make viticulture conditions rather extreme. Another concern is the significant variations in yields from one vintage to another, which requires a lot of foresight; the most obvious solution is to increase the amount of aged wines. Vineyards are being progressively converted to organic farming; since the 2020 harvest, all the wines are fermented with natural yeasts.

Malvasía Volcánica, Lanzarote’s signature grape variety, plays a dominant role in the distinctive screen-printed bottles featuring a mythological winged griffin (grifo in Spanish) designed by César Manrique, a renowned local artist and conservationist. The most widely available wines are the semi-sweet and the dry Colección Malvasía (both retail around €14. 5 in Spain, but the first one is particularly popular in the local market), even if the one aged with its lees (30,000 bottles, around €19.5 in Spain), which is expected to gain prominence in the future, is more interesting. The grape has proved versatile enough to produce a traditional method sparkling wine which has been disgorged at different stages pushing ageing time beyond three years.

In reds, Listán Negro is the dominant grape variety. El Grifo produces an interesting rosé (€14.5), a fresh expressive red (El Grifo Colección, 35,000 bottles, €16), a serious, balanced blend with 30% to 40% Syrah (Ariana, €22) and the sweet red George Glas (€40), named after a Scottish seaman and merchant who lived in the Canary Islands in the mid 18th century. “He wrote a wonderful book about our island,” says Juan José Otamendi. This is a complex fortified wine made from grapes which were left to overripe on the vine.

The jewel at El Grifo is sweet Malvasía. According to the great-grandfather’s accounting books, the fully ripe grapes were dried in the sun for seven to eight days to increase sugar levels. Once fermentation had reached 10% vol., alcohol was added up to 18% vol., then the wine would be aged in barrels. The process continues to this day on vintages showing the required sugar potential. This can happen every three, four or six years.

Wine lovers can discover this style with Canari (€80), a vintage blend sold in 50 cl. bottles. The current release is a blend of three vintages: 1956, 1970 and 1997. There is also a sweet Moscatel made in similar way. Grapes in this case are sourced from chabocos, which are cracks or holes that emerged in the trail of lava retaining higher levels of humidity.

The winery also produces a white with the indigenous grape variety Vijariego (€17). This is a late-ripening, thick-skinned variety which, as with Moscatel, used to be destined for raisins. On an experimental level, there is an interesting orange wine -Moscatel with a whooping five months of skin-contact- and a Listán Negro which is destemmed “grain by grain”. As grapes are pressed before the end of fermentation, the style is fragrant an evocative, in line with other modern reds that are setting the trend in the islands.

Visiting El Grifo is highly recommended for anyone wishing to enjoy the breathtaking volcanic landscape that surrounds the winery and tour the ancient buildings that house a small but very interesting museum.

Lanzarote Wine Tasting At Bodegas El Grifo

Lanzarote is an island of many wonders. Built around its volcanic landscape, its raw beauty captures the visitors from moment one. To the already widespread known and before mentioned highlights, it is worth adding that Lanzarote is home to the oldest winery in the Canary Islands, as well as one of the 10 oldest in Spain, Winery el Grifo (Bodegas el Grifo). Surprised? So was I! We had to stop by during our Lanzarote trip, to see with our own eyes. And of course, we couldn’t leave without a Lanzarote wine tasting session. But first let me tell you a bit about wine in Lanzarote.

WINE IN LANZAROTE & LA GERíA REGION

Given its dry and windy climate and the volcanic rock soil, one would assume it’d be almost impossible to grow anything in the island. La Gería was covered in volcanic ashes between the eruption of 1730-1736. Years later they’d discover that this volcanic sand “Picón” left by the eruptions worked wonders on the soil, helping keep the ambient water underground for up to six months at a time. That, in combination with their stone build-ups around the vines -protection against the constant trade winds that brush Lanzarote- have made of wine-making in this island a form of art worth checking out.

Besides that, Lanzarote is one of the few places where the old Malvasía vine wasn’t completely whipped out by the philloxera parasite back in the 19th Century. That means that some of the vines at Bodegas el Grifo are more than 200 years old, an impressive sight!

As you drive along La Gería, you will see row after row after row of carefully placed and cared for vines of all shapes and sizes. Some walled up, some free as birds, some high, some low. For example, the old Malvasía vines have to be placed far apart from each other due to the size of their roots. These plants in Lanzarote can’t grow their roots down but sideways. That is because the fertile soil is sandwiched between 0.5 and 3 meters of picon above and volcanic rock below. Also, the closer they come to the volcano the deeper the vines have to be planted which translates into manual harvesting. As I said, a form of art!

BODEGAS EL GRIFO & LANZAROTE WINE TASTING

Bodegas el Grífo, as I mentioned previously, is the oldest winery in the Canary Islands and one of the 10 oldest in Spain. Founded in 1775, Bodegas el Grifo has belonged to two families since its start, the most recent of the two has run it successfully during five generations.
El Grifo is one of the first wineries to start their wine harvest each year. With the reds beginning some time in July and their sweet whites staying in the vine longer, up to September. Always weather dependent of course.

Every year they complement the produce from their 60 hectare of prephilloxeric vines, with high quality and highly regulated produce from local farmers. This way they also help small local producers. Once per year between July and September, these local farmers bring their produce to the winery, where it is weighed and sorted for production. Bodegas el Grifo has a production capacity of about 1 million liters per year (Red, White, Rosé and sparkling). Some of it will be exported to the Peninsula and sold at big supermarkets like El Corte Inglés, but the immense majority of Lanzarote’s wine stays in the Canary Islands.

Besides its incredible wines, Bodegas el Grifo also has one of the most visited wine history museum in Spain with original pieces from the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. In addition to that, its priced library is known for the over 4000 first editions, some of which date back to the 17th century. And its logo, a Griff, was designed by the famous local artist and close family friend Cesar Manrique. This greek mythological creature was Baco’s wine guardian, which makes of it the perfect symbol for a winery with such long history.

Bodegas el Grifo receives around 60.000 visitors each year. They organise daily tours and Lanzarote wine tasting sessions throughout the year for a small fee. A highly skilled guide takes you along the winemaking process and the history of the winery, followed by a walk along the vines. Most of the tours include one or two Lanzarote wine tasting options. But if you don’t feel like visiting the facilities, you can skip straight to the juicy part. My personal favourite was a sweet dessert Malvasía wine. If you like any of their wines you can buy it directly there, whether you can take it with you or not. You won’t regret it, they deliver to your doorstep for less than what you pay for a Ryanair 15 Kg bag! We ordered six bottles and paid 17€ for delivery to Germany! Score!

So, whether you are a wine fan or not, I would highly recommend stopping by Bodegas el Grifo during a trip to Lanzarote for a different experience. It wasn’t sponsored in any way, I just really loved the people, place and history behind the place and think you’d love it too. Only down side, you’ll need a car to get there.

Canary Islands, holidays in Spain

Description

Lanzarote is an island of volcanic origin, which significantly changed its relief as a result of a large volcanic eruption that took place from 1730 to 1736. During this period, a significant part of the island was covered with lava. Prior to this event, agriculture and winemaking developed on the island. The changed conditions did not frighten local winemakers, and unusual growing conditions and volcanic soil gave the grapes a non-standard taste. Now Lanzarote produces about 2 million liters of wine per year. Local malvasia is known far beyond the island, it is one of the main symbols of the island. And the best place to get acquainted with the history of winemaking in Lanzarote and taste the most delicious local wine is El Grifo wine cellar. Manuel Garcia Durana .

After a large volcanic eruption, the central part of the island, which used to be the most fertile, was covered with volcanic lava. It became impossible to grow the old agricultural crops and local farmers decided to try to plant vineyards and fruit trees in specially made holes in the lava. The special cultivation technology is ideal for the cultivation of grapes and the production of sweet wines of the Muscatel and Malvasia varieties.

A wine press was installed in 1775 to process grapes, starting the production of wine. The owners of the winery changed, but production never stopped. The El Grifo winery produces three types of malvasia: sweet, semi-sweet, dry, and Listán Negro : red and rosé. Orange wine, sparkling malvasia and several other types of drinks are also produced.

General Information

The winery is located in San Bertalome in the La Geria Conservation Area. Vineyards cover an area of 60 hectares. Grapes are planted in specially dug recesses, up to several meters wide. There is practically no rain in Lanzarote, it is impossible to organize artificial irrigation, so something like a funnel is arranged around each seedling, where condensation and dew collect. The porosity of the volcanic layer allows it to accumulate and retain moisture for a long time, gradually giving it to the vine. A low wall of stones is built around each plant, it protects the vine from the constantly blowing trade winds.

You can also visit the winemaking museum, which was opened in 1998. The museum exhibits more than 500 exhibits that tell about the development of winemaking in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands.

Vinoteca.online | Bodegas El Grifo

De las más antiguas.

La bodega más antigua de Canarias y entre las diez más antiguas de España. Elabora vinos ininterrumpidamente desde 1775 en la misma bodega de El Grifo. Ha pertenecido a tres familias sucesivas: Los Ribera, los De Castro y, desde 1880, a la familia actual, descendiente de Manuel García Durán. Situada en nuestra finca El Grifo. Vinedo familiar: 50 Hectareas. Las labores de la viña se realizan manualmente. La uva entra en bodega en cajas de 20 kg. Las instalaciones son modernas pero la uva es la protagonista. Elaboración y embotellado en la Propiedad. Denominacion de Origen Lanzarote. 9o por la herencia yacente que administraba su hijo, Ginés de Castro y Álvarez, Coronel de Milicias y dos veces alcalde de Arrecife. Ginés de Castro y Álvarez fue el también el autor de la crónica de la erupción de 1824, cuando era Alcalde Mayor de la Isla, en la que menciona El Grifo como lugar desde donde se oyeron ruidos y temblores subterráneos. Administró El Grifo hasta su muerte en 1833. A la muerte de su hermano Ginés en 1833, dividieron la herencia paterna entre las dos hermanas supervivientes: Antonia y Rosalía de Castro y Álvarez. La primera, Antonia, casó con Policarpo de Medinilla, caballero de la Orden de Cristo y consul de Portugal en Canarias. Tuvo por hijo, a José de Medinilla y Castro, alcalde que fue también de Arrecife. El hijo de José, Policarpo Medinilla Morales, vendió a Manuel García Durán, bisabuelo de los actuales propietarios su participación en El Grifo en los años setenta del siglo XIX. La segunda hermana, Rosalía de Castro, casó con el subteniente Barreto, que murió muy pronto. Rosalía cuando enviudó se trasladó de San Bartolomé a El Grifo, donde murió en 1868, a los 85 años. Su hija, María del Carmen Barreto y Castro, casada con José Lubary, murió antes que su propia madre, por lo que heredaron a Rosalía sus nietos. Estos fueron vendiendo sus participaciones al indicado Manuel García Durán durante los años setenta del siglo XIX.

	Book a Russian speaking driver La Laguna built in 1511. It is considered one of the first full-fledged churches built on the island of Tenerife. Located in Plaza Concepción, at the intersection of El Tison and Adelantado streets. The architecture of the building is close to the Tuscan style and Baroque. The building is rectangular in shape, with decorative elements, framed with natural stone windows, columns and arches. The roof is covered with French tiles. Once inside, notice the interior of the Mudéjar ceiling, beautiful. The most attractive part is the stone tower with a belfry built at the end of the 17th century. Its height is 28 meters. You can get into the temple without much difficulty, but to climb the tower, you need to buy a ticket for 2 euros (price for 2017, children are free). If you’ve visited the tower, don’t throw away your ticket, it also gives you free entry to Salazar’s House, which is 500 meters away. After visiting this place, wait to leave. On the square “Dr. Olivera” (Dr. Olivera) at the entrance to the church, there is a beautiful bronze monument dedicated to Pope John Paul II. This piece was made by Polish sculptor Czesław Dzwigai and donated by the Juan Kobylanski Foundation and Polish Organizations of Latin America (USOPAL). Main square in the city La Laguna . Created and named after the conqueror of the island of Tenerife – Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, who was given the title of Adelantado. This position was provided to high-ranking officials, governors in peacetime. In the military, his importance was on par with that of an admiral. Above only was the viceroy of the king. Around the square are important administrative buildings, the city hall, courts, churches, the municipal market and, accordingly, the old part of the city. You can park your car in a paid large open parking lot a hundred meters away, inexpensively. In the middle of the esplanade is an old marble fountain, made in Marseille and brought by ship on March 20, 1869. Its approximate weight is about 30 tons. Fenced for safety with a low metal fence, yet the age is more than 140 years. Adelantado Square is quite green, planted with vegetation, palm trees, flowers and laurel trees. You can relax here on stone or wooden benches, carefully observing the life of the local population. Tourist Center Alvarado-Brakamonte House or House of Captains Today, a tourist center is located in the old house of the belonging of Diegom. Built for him and his family, where he lived from 1624 to 1635. He was the governor, judge and military captain of the islands of Tenerife and La Palma. Later, its walls from 1705 to 1723 were home to six Captains General of the Canary Islands. Therefore, more often on the lips of the local population it is called the “House of General-Captains” ( Spanish Casa de Los Capitanes Generales) and less commonly Alvarado-Bracamonte ( Spanish Alvarado-Bracamonte). A distinctive feature of the building is that it is made with decorative elements consisting of volcanic red tuff. The interior decoration is no different from the Canarian style, with a patio and wooden balconies. In the middle there is a fountain and some green spaces.
