De 5 beste windsurf spots in Nederland

Als Nederlandse windsurfer wil je natuurlijk varen op het beste strand van Nederland. En wil je natuurlijk weten welke goede windsurfspots bij jou in de buurt zitten. Hiervoor heb ik een top 5 van de beste windsurf spots in Nederland gemaakt. De voordelen en de nadelen van de sports zullen besproken worden, maar ook welke soort windsurfen het beste is voor welke spot.

Strand Horst

Strand Horst is een zoetwater spot in de wateren van het Wolderwijd. Het strand staat er bekend om dat het erg ondiep is. Tot zo’n 1,5 kilometer vanuit de kust is het water tot ongeveer heuphoogte. Dit maakt het de perfecte plek voor beginnende windsurfers. Bij Telstar testcentrum is het mogelijk om lessen te nemen en spullen te huren. Voor gevorderde windsurfers is het zeker ook een hele fijne spot al moet je dan wel moet je als freestyler rekening houden met het ondiepe water. De wind op het strand is over het algemeen vrij vlagerig dit komt omdat het omringd is met bebouwing en bossen. Dit soort er echter wel voor dat er weinig golfslag is en hierdoor gaat het windsurfen een stuk soepeler en zijn veel racers fan van deze surfspot.

Style: Freestyle, Speed, Freeride, Kite

Brouwersdam

Brouwersdam is een erg populaire windsurf spot waar je vaart op zee hierdoor is het water ook wat dieper en kun je er niet staan. De beste windrichting om op brouwersdam te varen is wanneer de wind komt van zuidwest, west en noordwest. Voor vele windsurfers is het een goede plek om te varen, zo is er een hoop chop waardoor je goed kunt freestylen. Maar er is ook een aparte baai gecreëerd aan de noordzijde van het strand. Deze plek heeft weinig chop waardoor je er goed kunt speedsurfen, op deze plek kun je ook goed wing foilen aangezien er dus weinig chop is. Ook voor golfen kun je terecht op dit strand, hiervoor moet je 5 kilometer naar de zandbank varen, met eb is dit redelijk goed te doen. Hier kun je golven vinden en kun je evt wave windsurfen beoefenen. Let wel op dat je dit alleen doet als gevorderden surfer aangezien het best gevaarlijk kan zijn.

Style: Freestyle, Wave, Freeride, Kite

makkum beach

Makkum beach is een hele goede plek voor beginnende windsurfers, je kunt hier bijna overal staan. Als je buiten de kom van Makkum beach vaart dan zit je op het Ijsselmeer. Wanneer er een sterke wind is richting het Noorden, Noordwesten of Zuidwesten is, is het mogelijk om naar de afsluitdijk te varen. Wanneer je zelf geen windsurfset hebt is het mogelijk om die bij Funsport Makkum te huren.

Style: Freestyle, Wave, Speed, Freeride

GREVELINGENDAM

Grevelingendam is te vinden in Zeeland en een populaire plek bij windsurfers, bijna elke type windsurf style kan op deze plek beoefent worden. Voor de zowel de freestyle als wave surfers kun je goed oefenen met nieuwe sprongen. Er zijn namelijk vaak mooie golven in het water die je goed kunt gebruiken als ramps. Ook voor de freeride surfer is het een lekkere plek wanneer er een noordenwind staat.

Een tip op deze plek is wel om schoentjes aan te schaffen er zijn namelijk op een aantal plekken mosselbanken en dat kan nog wel eens zeer doen zonder surfschoentjes. Je kunt tot ongeveer 150 meter van de kant staan vanaf dan wordt het wat dieper tot je uitkomt bij de mosselbanken, daar kun je weer staan al zou ik dan dus wel surfschoentjes aandoen ;).

Voor de windsurfers die meer zijn van het slalom en freerace is deze spot niet heel ideaal omdat er aardig wat golfjes zijn.

Style: Freestyle, Wave en Freeride

wijk aan zee

Wijk aan Zee is de perfecte plek voor wave windsurfers. Er zijn een hoop lekkere golfjes waar je wat sprongen op kunt maken. De plek is ook perfect voor wanneer je wilt gaan beginnen met wave windsurfen. Wanneer er een zuid of zuidwester wind staat heb je vrijwel geen stroming, zo’n dag is nou perfect om te gaan beginnen met het leren. Ook is het dan goed op op te letten op het eb of vloed is, aangezien je met eb makkelijker door de branding komt doordat er dan weinig shore-break is. Met vloed is dit het tegenovergesteld en wordt dit wel wat lastiger. Op wijk aan zee kun je niet staan in het water, of in ieder geval een heel klein stukje maar en dan loopt het al gauw af naar wat dieper water waar je niet kunt staan.

Wijk aan zee kan ook heel leuk zijn voor freestyle of freeride surfers maar dan moet je wel een aardig niveau hebben. Voor freerace of slalom surfers zijn er teveel golfen en zal het niet een hele fijne plek zijn.

Review of: Surfschool Foamball

Great first surfing lesson!

Excellent surf school – we were a group of 4 friends with no surfing experience and few waves, but we still had an amazing time!
The surf school called well in advance to warn us of the calm conditions but offered paddle boarding as a second option which we loved.
They were very professional giving us a safety briefing and even a warm up on the beach! The guide (whose name we didn’t catch) was excellent and very patient with us all! He was friendly and professional, making sure he gave us each individual tips on how to paddle board/ surf better!

At only €25 for nearly 2 hours it was a bargain …We loved it and would definitely recommend it to others! 🙂

A beautiful place with even more beautiful people who know their job, do it well and with joy.
They are happy to share their experience, smile, and good mood with you. In waves, they pay the utmost attention to you and try to extract the maximum skills from you, but at the same time learning is still fun.
You’ll be taught by people with hearts in the right place, and you can be sure that once you enter the ocean and ride the first wave, you won’t want to stop.

One to tick off the bucket list!!

We booked a last minute lesson to try out Kite Surfing – a bucket list activity for us! We had the 09.00 slot and basically a beach for ourselves for the first hour. Great intro lesson for the 2 of us- switching between Dutch and English. Our instructor – Britt- was a really fun and interactive teacher, she made it a really enjoyable experience. Definitely recommended! Wish we had tried this on the 1st day of our holiday and not the last…. we will
be back!

Review of: Hart Beach Surfschool

Super friendly staff – very good pizza

We had a fantastic day by combining a two hour session to learn a bit of surfing and closed the day by having diner and some drinks. Surf experience is great and all the necessary materials are for rent. Restaurant offers very good pizzas, however the best thing about this place is their staff. Super friendly and truel service oriented. If parking might be a problem, you might use Parkbee which offers some cheap alternatives between 10-15 euros for half a day (15-20min walk) . We will come for sure.

Review of: Surfschool High5

Great fun, great lessons!

We enjoyed three surf lessons here, which were great fun. Marcel, Joost and Daan take their time to explain the basics and within 20 minutes you are in the water. Once in the water they keep on guiding you on how to evaluate the waves, when to paddle and when to standup. Their cheers are very motivating. Equipment is great, quicksilver wetsuits and boards. Boards with softtops, which is great for beginners. We rented boards for the rest of the week. Check with the crew for the best surf times, they have detailed information on the tides and waves and advise you when to come surf. Will certainly go here again next time we visit Julianadorp. Aloha! Arjan&Jesse

De beste surf stranden en kite stranden in Nederland

Weinig mensen associëren surfen met Nederland. Terwijl Nederland juist behoorlijk wat surf en kite hotspots kent. Of je nou wil golf surfen, windsurfen, kitesurfen of zelfs foil surfen, langs de Nederlandse kusten en rondom de vijf Waddeneilanden zijn er heel wat populaire surf plekken.

Nederland staat als surf land goed op de kaart in Europa. Volgens de echte surfers kun je namelijk onder de juiste omstandigheden, in bijvoorbeeld Scheveningen, betere golven vinden dan waar dan ook langs de Franse kust.

De geschiedenis van surfen in Nederland

De Nederlandse surf geschiedenis begon in de jaren dertig in Noordwijk. Daar waagde ene Jan Coenraads zich voor het eerst met een plank in zee.

Als lid van de Noordwijkse Zeilvereniging ging hij op dagen zonder wind, maar mét golven, aan de haal met een van de eerste surfplanken in Nederland. In die tijd werd er nog niet eens gewindsurft en het is dan ook nog steeds een mysterie hoe hij aan die surfplank kwam.

Het duurt dan nog tot de jaren ’60 voordat de surfsport zich in Nederland echt ging ontwikkelen. Je kunt het je nu misschien niet meer voorstellen maar surfen was toen een behoorlijk exotisch gebeuren. Men bestempelde het dan ook als gevaarlijk.

De politie in Den Haag en Scheveningen had weinig op met de halsbrekende toeren in ’t water en verbood het surfen overdag. Ging je toch, dan kreeg je een boete.

Om in de jaren 60 te mogen surfen was er een vergunning nodig van de gemeente Den Haag. De echte diehards richtte dan ook al gauw de Holland Surf Association op. Het was ieder jaar weer een hele heisa om de vergunning verlengt te krijgen. Maar eindelijk kon er legaal gesurfd worden!

Nederlandse surf pro’s

Sinds de jaren ‘90 zijn er ook in Nederland pro’s actief. Oftewel surfers die hun geld kunnen verdienen met deze sport. Er worden Nederlandse Kampioenschappen georganiseerd en surfscholen schieten langs de hele kust als als paddestoelen uit de grond. De surfsport in al haar verschillende verschijningsvormen is inmiddels een ware hype geworden.

Toen het surfen op de golven eenmaal een feit was, duurde het namelijk niet lang voordat andere takken van deze sport zoals windsurfen en later ook kitesurfen populair werden.

Vandaag de dag is in Nederland bijna overal waar water is een mogelijkheid tot surfen. In welke vorm en met hoeveel of weinig ervaring dan dan ook, is surfen een sport voor jong en oud.

Windsurfen of Plankzeilen

Windsurfen werd eind jaren ‘60 van de vorige eeuw op de kaart gezet door twee Amerikanen. Hun bedoeling was om een zeil op een surfplank te knopen, zodat het zeil wind zou vangen en ze vooruit zouden gaan.

Het was volgens hen veel eenvoudiger dan zeilen in boten omdat de plank en het tuig veel makkelijker te vervoeren waren.

Al snel ontwikkelde dit ‘plankzeilen’ zich tot een heuse sport en werd het razend populair in Amerika in de jaren ’70. Tien jaar later verspreidde deze sport zich als een malle over de hele wereld en groeide uit tot een van de populairste watersporten van zijn tijd.

Kitesurfen is ontstaan door waaghalzen

Kitesurfen is het jongere broertje van de eerder genoemde vormen van surfen. Alhoewel de eerste beginselen van ‘het kiten’ ook stammen uit de vroege jaren ‘70 van de vorige eeuw.

Het werd uitgevonden door een paar waaghalzen van het eerste uur. Zij lieten zich voorttrekken met een parachute vast gemaakt aan een plank of boot of zelfs op ski’s.

Het was een Nederlander die in 1977 patent aanvroeg voor het voorttrekken door middel van een parachute met een surfplank.

Wat volgt zijn halsbrekende toeren die worden uitgezonden op tv en waar uiteindelijk een soort wedstrijd vorm uit ontstaat.

Het duurde nog tot 1993 voordat de eerste kiteboarden en vliegers te koop waren voor het bredere publiek.

Inmiddels zijn kitesurfers op een winderige dag niet meer weg te denken langs de Nederlandse kust. Al helemaal niet langs de afsluitdijk of voor het strand van Terschelling.

De laatste trend op surf gebied: Foil surfen

Uiteraard staat de ontwikkeling van surfen niet stil en is er zelfs een nieuwe vorm van surfen bij gekomen, namelijk foil surfen. Dit is ontwikkeld door “Waterman” Laird Hamilton.

Wat is Foil surfen

Foil surfing is een hybride vorm van het klassieke surfen in combinatie met hydrofoil technologie. Bij foil surfen zit er geen traditionele vin onder het surfboard maar een hydrodynamisch ontworpen vin. Die is langer dan de de vin van een klassieke surfplank en heeft vleugels aan de onderkant.

Wanneer het bord naar voren beweegt, tillen de vleugels het uit het water, waardoor een groot deel van de vin ook zichtbaar wordt. Foil surfers vliegen letterlijk boven het wateroppervlak.

Het grote voordeel van foil surfen is, dat foil boards beter in staat zijn energie uit het water te halen dan gewone surfboards. Daarbij verliezen ze die energie niet aan de wrijving die ontstaat als een plank in contact komt met het water.

“Het is als een vliegtuig onder water die jou een lift geeft.”

Dorian van Rijsselberghe Nationaal kampioen surfen

Wat is een foil surfbord

Een foil surfboard is een surfplank met een hydrofoil (draagvleugel), die zich onder de plank in het water bevind. Dit ontwerp zorgt ervoor dat het board boven het wateroppervlak zweeft en je met verschillende snelheden kunt surfen.

Foil surf board

Waar kun je Foil surfen in Nederland

Er zijn een aantal Foil surf scholen in Nederland, waaronder in Almere. Verder geldt voor Foil surfen vaak dezelfde condities als voor andere vormen van surfen. Wat wel belangrijk is, is dat het water diep genoeg is, zodat je vleugel niet te beschadigen. Nooit door willen surfen tot aan de strandbar dus!

Waarom kan er in Nederland goed gesurfd worden?

Surfen is in Nederland overal langs de kust mogelijk. Men spreekt dan ook van de Nederlandse surf. Het zeeklimaat en de vaak constante wind zorgt ervoor dat het lekker surfen is in ons landje.

Zeker in de winter zijn de golven vaak goed. Je hebt wel een portie geduld nodig maar dan heb je ook wat! Het is wachten op een zuidwesten wind. Of juist op een storm ergens bij Schotland en Noorwegen, zodat de golf productie daar op gang komt.

Als er dan vervolgens een Noord- of Noordwesten wind die golven onze kant op brengt, is het ongekend lekker surfen op echt Nederlandse golven.

De beste spots om te golf surfen in Nederland

Nou hebben we best een lange kustlijn in Nederland en uiteraard tellen we daar de stranden rondom de waddeneilanden bij op. Voordat je met een board onder je arm lukraak richting de duinen rent, zetten we onderstaand de beste hotspots voor je op een rij:

1. Surf city Scheveningen

De broedplek van surfend Nederland is toch wel het strand van Scheveningen. Door vele surfers omgedoopt tot Surf city. Zo zijn er diverse surfwinkels en –scholen, een surfdorp en zelfs een kunstmatig rif. Dat ervoor zorgt dat hier ieder moment van de dag en het hele jaar door de beste golven zijn.

Kite surfers op het strand van Scheveningen

De bekendste plek in Scheveningen is bij de pier. Door de zandbanken die hier liggen, komen golven goed tot ontwikkeling en dat is wat je wil! Klein nadeel is dat het ook gezellig druk kan zijn. Bij goed surf weer lig je er zeker niet alleen in het water.

2. Wijkiki Wijk aan Zee

Wijk aan zee is niet voor niets omgedoopt tot ‘Wijkiki’ door de lokale surf helden.

Het heeft een havenhoofd waardoor je als surfer net lekker beschut ligt tegen de Zuidwestenwind. Ook hier zijn het de goed gepositioneerde zandbanken die voor een prima surf klimaat zorgen. De strandtentjes met namen als ‘Aloha’ maken een dagje surfen hier helemaal af.

3. Surfen op Texel

Voor het ultieme vakantiegevoel en het rijden op goede golven ga je naar Texel. Je kunt ervoor kiezen dit te doen op een van de traditionele zeilschepen, om alvast in de stemming te komen. Maar vanuit de randstad ben je er ook binnen no-time met de veerboot Teso die meestal elk half uur gaat.

De beste condities op Texel zijn er wanneer er golven uit het Noordwesten komen en de wind afwezig is of aflandig. Maar ook als er een forse wind uit het Zuidwesten blaast, komt de golf productie goed op gang op dit Waddeneiland.

Het is er vaak stukken minder druk dan aan sommige hotspots langs de kustlijn en daarom bijvoorbeeld ook geliefd als bijzondere yogaplek. Een leuke bijkomstigheid is dat er hier en daar regelmatig zeehonden met je mee surfen.

Op de eilanden geven ze plekken aan door palen met nummers. Zo krijg je bij paal 17 echt de surf vibe, hier pak je makkelijk golven. Tussen paal 17 en paal 15 kun je surflessen boeken maar ook boards en wetsuits huren.

Uiteraard vindt je hier ook leuke strandtentjes. Dit is niet de enige spot, ook paal 9 is er een met goede golven. Neem je bord onder je arm en ga de leukste stranden op de Nederlandse Waddeneilanden verkennen!

De beste spots om te Windsurfen in Nederland

Windsurfen doe je het best in Scheveningen en Wijk aan zee. Echter kan hier nog een spot aan toegevoegd worden, speciaal voor de windsurfer.

4. De surfspot Makkum

Het grote verschil met de andere surf spots is dat je bij Makkum op het IJsselmeer surft. Ook heb je in de zomermaanden de wind en de golven voor jezelf want kite surfen is hier niet toegestaan. Je loopt vanaf het strandje in Makkum zo het IJsselmeer in voor een top windsurf beleving.

De beste spots om te kitesurfen

Bovengenoemde spots zijn prima om te kiten maar kitesurfen kan niet alleen op de Waddenzee, het IJssel- en Markermeer maar ook bij uitstek op de Noordzee.

5. Kite surfen op Terschelling

Op Terschelling bestaat de unieke situatie dat je aan de zuidkant van het eiland op de Waddenzee kunt kite surfen. Ga je naar de Noordkant, dan surf je op de Noordzee. Daar vindt je met een beetje geluk net wat heftigere wind en golven.

De kitesurf spots op Terschelling zijn goed geregeld. Zo staan er ter plekke borden met aanwijzingen speciaal voor kiters. Er staat op waar en wanneer je mag surfen.

Bij West-Terschelling surf je aan de Wad kant van het eiland. Rij je even door naar het dorpje Hoorn, dan zit je aan de Noordzee kant. Dit zijn echte hotspots voor de durfal kitesurfer.

Surfen en zeilen combineren

Combineer je surf ervaring met een andere tak van watersport en laat je brengen naar de beste spots op het IJsselmeer of de Waddenzee door een van de traditionele zeilschepen die Nederland nog rijk is.

Ervaar wat het is om met honderden vierkante meters zeil terecht te komen op de populairste of juist de meest onontdekte surfspots en geef je surf ervaring zo een extra dimensie. Leuk met vrienden, familie of als ludiek bedrijfsuitje.

Windsurf vakantie – De 5 leukste windsurfspots van Europa

In deze blog vertellen we je alles over de windsurfspots van Europa. Windsurfen kan je vakantie net iets specialer maken, omdat het een goede combinatie is van actief zijn en genieten. Ben je benieuwd welke plekken in Europa nou het allerleukste zijn om te gaan windsurfen? Lees dan snel verder!

Windsurfspot 1: Tarifa (Spanje)

Tarifa is de absolute hoofdstad van Europa als het over windsurfen gaat! Vanuit de hele wereld komen surfers naar deze Spaanse stad om te komen surfen. Tarifa is zo populair omdat hier altijd een sterke wind staat, die ook nog eens uit twee richtingen komt. Uit het oosten waait de levante, die meestal een windkracht van tussen de 6 en 8 km per uur heeft. Deze wind zorgt ook voor zonnig weer en windsurfen met zonnig weer is natuurlijk wel zo lekker. De wind die uit de andere richting komt is de poniente. Deze wind is minder sterk, voert koele lucht aan en zorgt voor hoge golven. Over een strook van zestig kilometer vind je in Tarifa verschillende windsurfspots, waardoor je dus altijd wel een goede spot zult vinden. Mocht je het windsurfen even zat zijn, bezoek dan het het mooie historische centrum. Strijk in de avond neer op een van de vele terrasjes of begeef je in het bruisende nachtleven. Een beter bestemming voor je windsurf vakantie in Europa kun je bijna niet vinden!

Windsurfspot 2: Cascais (Portugal)

Portugal is een echt surfwalhalla! Een van de beste plekken om te gaan windsurfen is Cascais en dan vooral het strand Praia do Guincho, dat ten noordwesten van Cascais ligt. Je hebt hier mooie golven dankzij de wind die vanaf de Atlantische Oceaan komt. Houd er wel rekening mee dat Praia do Guincho vooral geschikt is voor windsurfers met veel ervaring omdat de golven super hoog zijn. Deze windsurfspot heeft ook al eens de Wereldkampioenschappen Windsurfen gehuisvest. Ook als je niet iedere dag wilt windsurfen is Cascais een fijne vakantiebestemming. De Portugezen zullen je met open armen ontvangen! Geniet van de combinatie van actief zijn, luieren op de mooiste stranden en lekker eten in één van de vele restaurants!

Windsurfspot 3: Het Gardameer (Italië)

In Italië vind je vele mooie windsurfspots. Je hebt er lange kilometers kustlijn en veel meren. Het Gardameer is een van de bekendste van die meren en ook een fantastische bestemming voor je windsurf vakantie. Het Gardameer is niet alleen geschikt voor ervaren windsurfers, maar ook beginnelingen kunnen hier goed terecht. De ervaren windsurfers kunnen aan het begin van de middag hun hart ophalen omdat er dan een stevige wind staat. Later op de dag gaat de wind een beetje liggen, waardoor dan de beginnende surfers goed kunnen oefenen. Verder kun je rondom het meer heerlijk ontspannen in de zon en tijdens een verkoelende duik in het meer heb je een prachtig uitzicht op de omgeving. Even geen zin meer in het water? Rondom het meer is nog veel meer te doen! Bewonder de mooie dorpjes en grote pleinen en strijk neer op de ontelbaar vele terrasjes om te genieten van al het lekkers dat de Italiaanse keuken te bieden heeft.

Windsurfspot 4: Viganj (Kroatië)

Als je op windsurf vakantie wilt gaan, is Kroatië een van de beste bestemmingen. Bij veel stranden in Kroatië kun je surf benodigdheden huren en er zijn veel windsurfscholen, waardoor ook beginners hier op de juiste plek zijn. Een van de bekendste windsurfspots in Kroatië is Viganj. Viganj ligt in het midden van een smal kanaal en daarom waait de wind twee keer zo hard als op andere plekken langs de Adriatische kust. In de ochtend kunnen de beginners goed de tijd nemen om te oefenen, maar later in de middag neemt de wind toe. Het moment voor de ervaren windsurfers om hun skills te showen! Zoek je als ervaren windsurfer nog meer uitdaging? Houd dan de weerberichten goed in de gaten! Als er een storm op komst is, kan het zijn dat er een sterke voorwind waait en als avontuurlijke surfer, moet je dat eigenlijk wel meegemaakt hebben. Houd je zelf niet zo van surfen, maar vind je het wel leuk om te kijken? Ieder jaar is Viganj het decor voor een van de surfwedstrijden van de open Kroatische Kampioenschappen! Als je na al dat surfen even tot rust wilt komen, zoek dan naar de fijne zandstranden die op het schiereiland Peljesac, waar op Viganj ligt, te vinden zijn.

Windsurfspot 5: Silvaplana (Zwitserland)

Silvaplana ligt op 1800 meter en is daarmee een van de hoogstgelegen windsurfspots van Europa. In de middag waait er vaak een harde wind die erg geschikt is voor ervaren surfers. Aan het Silvaplanameer ligt ook het dorpje Sils, hier is het vaak wat rustiger en er zijn minder golven. Voor de echte beginners is het aan te raden om in de ochtend te gaan, want dan is de wind nog zwakker. Iedere zomer vinden er in Silvaplana vele watersport evenementen plaats zoals het surfspektaktel Engadinwind, de Engadiner Surf Marathon en de Zwitserse zeilkampioenschappen Optimist. Ben je een echte sportieveling die naast windsurfen ook nog van andere activiteiten houdt? In de omgeving van silvaplana is het ook fijn wandelen en mountainbiken! Wil je liever even rustig aan doen? Grijp dan een hengel en gooi een lijntje uit.

Ben jij gek op windsurfen en wil jij deze windsurfspots graag eens bezoeken? Huur dan een camper bij Goboony! Zo heb je niet alleen een mooie bestemming maar is de reis naar de surfspots toe ook een leuke belevenis! #LETSGOSURFING

De beste Nederlandse surfspots – SurfaWhile

N: 52° 22′ 16.135″ E: 4° 32′ 0.078″

Nederland zal bij de meeste van jullie niet gelijk naar voren komen als je denkt aan goede surfspots. Dit betekent echter niet dat ze er niet zijn. De Nederlandse kustlijn kan onder de juiste omstandigheden golven bieden voor surfers van elk niveau. Dit gebeurt helaas niet dagelijks, maar Nederland is zeker ook een surf-land! In dit artikel lees je waarom.

Surfen in Nederland

Op sommige plekken in Nederland kan het overigens best wel druk worden. Het is niet zo dat er surfers van over de hele wereld naar Nederland komen om te surfen, maar de Nederlandse surf-scene wordt ook steeds groter en als je dan toch in Nederland bent, dan ook maar even surfen, denken er velen. Daar geven we ze absoluut geen ongelijk in! Hierbij een aantal goede surfspots in Nederland.

De pier van Scheveningen

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen in Nederland?

Nederland is een land waar zeker gesurft kan worden. Soms dienen surfers echter wel flink wat geduld te hebben. Over het algemeen geldt dat de watertemperatuur in de zomer het fijnste is, waar dat ook een periode is waar er vaak relatief weinig golven zijn om te surfen. In het najaar en de winter zijn de golven vaak wat beter, al is een goed wetsuit wel echt nodig. Wil jij wat meer te weten komen over wetsuits? Wellicht is onze uitgebreide wetsuit guide dan een leuke voor jou!

Surfen in Scheveningen

Met uitstek de Nederlandse surf hotspot waar je de beste surfers van Nederland kunt vinden. We moeten wel eerlijk blijven, je bent hier niet gegarandeerd van goede golven, maar als het ‘aan’ is, is het AAN! De beste surf omstandigheden zijn er met een noord of zuid westelijke swell met geen wind. Met een offshore wind werkt deze spot ook, echter krijg je met een onshore wind last van rommelige golven. Omdat dit de surf hotspot is van Nederlands kan het met de juiste omstandigheden toch aardig druk worden, maar niks vergeleken met de Franse kust midden in de zomer.

In Scheveningen zijn er een aantal plekken waar je kunt surfen, met als meest bekende spots: ‘De Pier’, ‘Zuid’ en ‘Noord’.

Surf camp nabij Scheveningen

In het mooie ‘s Gravenzande vind je in de zomer van 2020 een surf camp voor juniors (12-16 jaar), met verblijf in moderne tipi-tenten. En je krijgt ook nog eens surfles van de Dutch Surf Academy, van Nederlands kampioen surfen Kaspar Hamminga.

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen in Scheveningen?

Tijdens high-tide is het erg lastig om te surfen in Scheveningen. De beste golven zijn meestal te vinden vanaf mid-tide richting high-tide. Hier geldt dat je het beste surft met een (lichte) off-shore wind of zelfs helemaal geen wind. Qua swell heb je het meeste kans op goede golven als deze uit het noordwesten of zuidwesten komt.

Webcam van surfen in Scheveningen

Surf tip: check voordat je naar Scheveningen gaat of de golven goed genoeg zijn om te surfen via onderstaande livestream van het strand.

Surfen in Texel

Surfen zonder drukte in het water, met vriendelijke locals en met een beetje geluk ook nog wat zeehonden. Texel is een van de Waddeneilanden en biedt vanwege de gunstige ligging vaak hogere golven dan in de rest van het land. De beste surfcondities heb je met een swell uit het noordwesten waar er zo goed als geen wind waait. Er zijn verschillende surfspots op het eiland, maar de meest geliefde zijn paal 17 en paal 9.

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen op Texel?

Omdat Texel een eiland is, zijn er veel golven die de kust bereiken. Hierdoor kan er ook relatief vaak gesurft worden. Het beste werken de golven wanneer de swell uit het noordwesten komt. Als er dan ook nog eens een lichte offshore breeze staat is de kans op mooie golven om te surfen al helemaal aanwezig. Echter kan er vaak ook gesurft worden indien de wind uit het zuidwesten blaast óf als het windstil is.

Stap jij toch liever de auto in om bijv. eens in Frankrijk te gaan kijken? Wellicht is een surfvakantie in Frankrijk dan een goed idee.

Paal 9 op Texel

Live beelden / webcam van Texel:

Zie hier de livebeelden van Paal 17 op Texel
Ook staat er een webcam bij Paal 9 op Texel

Op Texel is er natuurlijk nog veel meer te beleven en het is dan ook zeker de moeite waard om hier eens een paar dagen heen te gaan, je surfboard mee te nemen en de surfspots zelf te bekijken.

Surfen in Domburg

De place to be om te surfen in het zuiden van Nederland. Domburg is een erg relaxte surfspot in Zeeland waar het water altijd net wat warmer lijkt te zijn dan in de rest van het land. Zeker in de zomer kan het hier af en toe zelfs wat tropisch aanvoelen. In Domburg vind je een aantal houten palen in het water welke ervoor zorgen dat er een aantal zandbanken gevormd worden. En dat is nou precies de reden dat Domburg regelmatig een hele goede surfspot is.

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen in Domburg?

Deze spot werkt het beste met een westelijke swell en geen wind. Zelf op een dag dat de golven perfect zijn, heb je alsnog een kans dat het niet heel druk is (voor Nederlandse begrippen). Deze spot is zeker ook populair onder Belgische surfers aangezien de golven hier vaak beter zijn dan aan de Belgische kust.

Het strand bij Domburg

Surfen in Wijk aan zee

Deze spot is niet zo populair als Scheveningen maar hoort toch wel bij de surf hotspots van Nederland. De zandbanken op deze spot zijn erg gunstig voor het ontstaan van mooie golven. Het is niet voor niks dat de locals deze spot ook wel Wijkiki noemen, een verwijzing naar de de bekende surfspot Waikiki op Hawaii. Door de gunstige ligging ten opzichte van Amsterdam en Haarlem zal je hier meer surfers in het water vinden dan gemiddeld in Nederland, maar echt druk zal het niet worden!

Lege stranden bij Wijk aan Zee

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen in Wijk aan Zee?

‘Wijk’ heeft het voordeel dat het regelmatig wat golven krijgt die nét wat hoger zijn dan op andere plekken. Net als Scheveningen heeft ook Wijk aan Zee een Pier, waardoor deze spot wat beter beschut is tegen de wind. De beste surfcondities zijn er met een noordwestelijke swell en zuidwestelijke wind.

Het beste surf je in Wijk aan Zee met een opkomend tij, meestal de periode tussen mid- en high-tide, maar ook daarvoor kunnen er nog goede golven zich vormen.

Live beelden / webcam van Wijk aan Zee:

Zie hier de livebeelden van het strand van Wijk aan Zee

In Wijk aan Zee heb je een aantal leuke strandtenten zitten en we twijfelen er dan ook geen seconden aan dat je je hier nooit zult vervelen.

Surfen in Zandvoort

In de zomer wordt deze spot overspoelt met strandgasten, maar in de wintermaanden is het een uitstekende surfspot. Zandvoort is natuurlijk heel erg makkelijk te bereiken, met o.a. een station wat vlakbij het strand ligt. Maar ook het deel wat meer naar het noorden ligt (Bloemendaal Strand) is goed te bereiken met de bus.

Lees verder na de foto…

Een van de opgangen naar het strand van Zandvoort

Wanneer kun je het beste surfen in Zandvoort?

Deze spot, net zoals eigenlijk alle surfspots in Nederland, kan voor elke surfer werken. En ook hier geldt dat de swell het beste uit het noordwesten of zuidwesten kan komen. En ook kun je in Zandvoort het beste surfen met een opkomende tide (het beste van mid- naar high tide).

Let wel op de stroming wanneer de wind uit het zuiden of noorden komt, deze kan verraderlijker zijn dan je zal denken! De beste golven zijn er met een lichte offshore wind. Zitten de golven niet mee, ga dan naar het nabij gelegen Wijk aan Zee.

Surfvakantie in Nederland

Zoals je leest zijn er ook in Nederland genoeg surfspots te vinden. Je zal wel een wetsuit nodig hebben in het koude water van de Noordzee, maar als je eenmaal surft op de Nederlandse golven is dit het meer dan waard. En dit hoeft de pret natuurlijk zeker niet te drukken.

Er zal tal van mogelijkheden om een surfvakantie in eigen land te houden. Graag vertellen we je daar meer over, via onze pagina over surfvakanties en surf camps in Nederland. En mocht je dan toch een surfvakantie hebben geboekt, wie weet is het leuk om een middag te gaan varen in Nederland. Van watersport krijg je immers nooit genoeg.

Surffestivals in Nederland

Wist jij dat er ook een aantal surffestivals zijn die jaarlijks worden georganiseerd in Nederland? Deze zijn uitermate geschikt voor zowel surfers als niet-surfers een aankomende-surfers.

Where to windsurf all year round – HEROINE

Windsurfer’s paradise – Biarritz, Hossegor and Costa Rica, but good beaches with strong winds can be found in Asia and the East. If you have no boarding experience but have an insane passion for the sea and waves, then you can claim to be connected to windsurfing culture. Together with the instructors of the Dutch Windsurfing School , we decided to tell you about the most popular places in the world where everyone can conquer their own wave.

Windsurfing is a sailing sport that combines elements of surfing and sailing. Unlike surfing, windsurfing uses the wind to move forward, while surfing relies on the strength of the waves. This means you can exercise anywhere with plenty of water and wind.

To Egypt

Why go: Located just an hour northeast of the popular resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Red Sea, a paradise of Dahab, where the most steady wind in all of Egypt.

Vietnam

Why go: The best windsurfing conditions in the entire South China Basin are centered around the sandy Mui Ne Bay. The beach of the bay is stretched 15 km east of the city of Phan Thiet, a fairly quiet and peaceful resort with a wide beach, palm trees and pine trees.

The windsurfing season here starts from November and lasts until March. Soft stable wind, warm sea and no need to buy a wetsuit and warm clothes – it’s safe to say that Mui Ne is one of the most comfortable places for windsurfing in autumn and winter.

There is not a single reef, stone, coral or other obstacle in the entire area of the bay, which is safe for a beginner windsurfer. The peculiarity of the local wind is that it blows relatively weakly in the morning, and gains strength in the afternoon. Therefore, the morning hours can be used to study and practice new elements, and with the strengthening of the wind force and the volume of waves, you can begin to practice more complex ones.

More to do: Mui Ne’s attractions are centered around beaches, rainforests and sand dunes. 28 kilometers from the resort of Phan Thiet, on Mount Taku, there is the world-famous statue of the Reclining Buddha, or, as it is also called, “Buddha, turning into nirvana.” The Poshan Cham Towers and Lotus Lake, located between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, are also must-sees. The first are part of a large temple complex built in the 7th century in honor of the worship of the god Shiva, the second is located in the vicinity of a landmark created by nature – the white dunes.

Windsurfing in the Crimea.

The best places for windsurfing in Crimea

Windsurfing in Crimea is gaining more and more popularity. Giving a brief background, it can be clarified that this is a kind of sport and active recreation, which consists in the skill of owning a board with a sail fixed on it on various types of waves. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing easier, but in addition to a good sailboard for windsurfing, you need skill, dexterity, as well as the right choice of place.

There are enough places for windsurfing on the peninsula, Crimea seems to have been specially created for this, they are diverse and dispersed throughout the Crimean coast. Geographical features, climatic conditions, the presence of waves, and different ski areas make the peninsula an ideal haven for surfers.

Mezhvodnoe near Yalycharskaya bay

For beginner surfers, the best place on the whole peninsula is Mezhvodnoye near Yalycharskaya bay. The sand near the shores of the estuary is clean, only in some places at the bottom there may be small clayey areas. Constant waves and a steady western and northern wind create excellent conditions for the start of mastering this extreme type of recreation. That’s why newbies are gathering in the bay. It is difficult to meet an experienced surfer at this spot, as traditionally the place is considered too simple for them.

Lake Donuzlav

Very similar in terms of conditions for beginners is Lake Donuzlav, located near the Black Sea, with a wide sandy spit. On the peninsula, the lake is the deepest and one of the largest. The wind near the lake is strong and constant, several wind farms are built near it. In the eastern part of the Crimean peninsula, one of the most famous places for windsurfing (spots) is Cape Tarkhankut, which lies near the village of Olenevka.

Prices for tours

The cape rises above the lake, the surface of which, together with a fairly strong wind, creates excellent conditions for skiing for both beginners and advanced surfers. Those who consider themselves a professional can also try skiing a little further in the bay, in the open waters of the Black Sea, where ideal conditions are created for this at the beginning of summer, and prices have not yet had time to pick up speed. On the territories adjacent to the cape, there are several schools that teach how to manage a sailing board. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you can learn the basics of surf management in a short period of time and immediately get practice.

Evpatoria

The coast of Evpatoria can be considered the second most popular in the east of Crimea. Both for beginners and for pros, all conditions are created here. Inexperienced surfers can train in the north of the bay, where it is almost completely sheltered from strong gusts of wind and large waves. Calm waters will help you learn to feel the board, understand the nuances of controlling it, and cope with small waves. To help beginners, there are schools located nearby and the rental of all necessary ammunition.

Advanced surfers will most likely prefer the south coast facing the open sea. The wind in open spaces is much stronger, which creates more interesting and high-speed surfing.

Among the spots of the eastern part of the peninsula, there are also several especially revered by the adherents of the wave and wind. It is most convenient to start the skiing season in the waters near the city of Kerch. Due to the peculiarities of the location and the prevailing microclimate, as well as the shallow depth, the waters in this area receive the sun’s rays a little earlier and warm up. This makes it possible to get up on the board from the first days of April. The even topography of the bottom and the smoothness of the sandy surface on the beach, as well as the constant fairly strong wind, provide scope for windsurfing.

Koktebel

Koktebel is an actively developing spot, constantly updating the number of stations and training centers. Schools in Quiet Bay are suitable for training even the smallest future surfers, children from six to seven years old are accepted for training. With its name alone, Quiet Bay says that soft waves and wind are perfect for relaxing and skiing with the whole family. However, you can enjoy skiing not only there, but also near the central beach, as well as along the entire length of Koktebel Bay.

Sudak

In Sudak you can rent a cottage on the beach for surfing. This saves time that would be spent on the road. Sudak Beach is quite large, in any area of the beach you can catch the wind and conquer the waves. There are also many schools and surfing clubs that teach everyone, regardless of age. Sudak schools are among the most famous.

Cape Kazantip

Cape Kazantip is known and loved not only among surfers, but it also welcomes them with pleasure. Beaches over 3 kilometers long are framed by a calm and gentle entry into the water. This creates excellent conditions for skiing for surfers of any skill level. Also, the spot is unique in that no matter what the wind, windsurfing will be equally comfortable. In the case of a wind from the east, it becomes possible to ride in a bay called Tatarskaya, and if the wind is western, you can stand on the board from the back side of the Kazantip peninsula in the bay of the same name.

Prices for tours

In addition to a suitable spot and a steady wind, the board itself and the sail itself are important for the quality of riding. For children, special children’s boards are designed, they are lighter than ordinary boards and are designed taking into account the small weight and height of the child. A beginner board has more volume, while pros prefer smaller boards. Also, the boards vary depending on the type of windsurfing. Sails can also vary.

The main difference is the area. So for a child, the area will be about one square meter, while the sails for adults reach thirteen square meters.

By choosing the right board and other equipment and choosing the right spot, the windsurfer gets the opportunity to enjoy the speed, the elasticity of the surf underfoot, and the fresh wind in the face. What could be more beautiful at such moments than to curb a naughty wave!

Windsurfing in Dahab: tourist information

According to the International Windsurfing Association, Egypt is one of the top ten places in the world for surfing. Good conditions and affordable prices attract beginners and professionals in this sport from all over the world.

Among all the resorts, the name of the capital of windsurfing rightfully belongs to Dahab. Dahab is one of the most suitable places in the world to learn this sport. Comfortable conditions for classes are provided by the very location of the resort. Here the strongest and almost constant winds, as well as pleasant air and water temperatures throughout the year. In Dahab, the wind blows from the north. Due to the geographical location and narrowing of the mountains in the Gulf of Aqaba, the effect of a kind of wind tunnel is formed, which generates a constant and even wind throughout the day. In summer, the winds blow stronger and more often. The number of absolutely windless days here is minimal. Considering that winds are generally rare in neighboring Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab can be considered a unique place.

Everyone can find the right conditions here – from almost smooth water, ideal for beginners, to excellent jumping waves, more suitable for those who want to improve their level and improve in this sport.

Windsurfing clubs

Children’s windsurfing training camp

The resort has more than a dozen surfing stations where you can rent quite decent equipment and take a course with Russian-speaking instructors. At the same time, classes are designed for both children and adults with different levels of training. After spending just a couple of weeks on training, you can not only fall in love with surfing, but also achieve certain results. Many surfers completely changed their lives and came to live in Dahab to devote their lives to their favorite pastime.

Russian speakers

Five Squares
Vetratoria

Among the surf clubs, the Five Squares club is worth mentioning. Here you will meet not only friendly Russian-speaking staff, comfortable skiing conditions, excellent equipment, hot water showers, but also WI-FI internet and even a kindergarten. Prices for station services can be estimated on their website.

“Vetratoria” – a young station, will also please with Russian-speaking staff and relatively low prices.

Windsurfing spots

Surfing spots in Dahab

Dahab has two areas that are comfortable for skiing:

Laguna
Light House

In turn, there are three zones in the Laguna – the Laguna itself, which is optimal for beginners, the Speed zone, as the name implies, guarantees excellent speed on smooth water, the Kamikaze zone is a zone of waves. Light House is located in the Old Town area. Not far from this zone, you can also catch a wave at high tide on a reef in the Assala area.

Lagoon

A great place to learn, planing, turning, freestyle in fairly smooth water. Here the waves are separated from the skiing area by a reef and a scythe, so they cannot interfere. This makes the learning process absolutely safe. This area has beautiful sandy beaches, comfortable hotels and a lot of rental shops, the most popular surfing clubs.

Speedy Zone

Speedy Zone is a fast section for those who are already planing confidently in loops and trapeze, for those who crave speed. Not far behind the reef, smooth water gives way to the waves of the Kamikaze zone. So the Germans called this site, arguing that not everyone dares to leave the Laguna to ride in this dangerous place. This place is located at some distance from the windsurfing stations, about two to three kilometers. The entrance to the site passes between the reefs and is often not visible in the evening and morning hours. One is not recommended to ride in this area. In any case, you will need a walkie-talkie to call a rescue boat from the shore if necessary. There are less winds here than in the speed zone, and the waves are similar to the Light House spot.

Light House

Light House is the windiest part of the coastal area. This is a gathering place for advanced surfers looking for a good wave. People often come here who constantly store their equipment here and are ready to fly out at any time with a good forecast. Waves one or two meters high are not uncommon here, allowing you to improve your jumping technique. In strong winds, waves can reach a height of 3-4 meters, forming springboards for high and long jumps. Windsurfing in the Light House area has excellent waves, which are especially frequent here from April to November, which allows you to perfect the wave elements and enjoy the excellent weather and warm water. Near the shore is an ideal place to practice freestyle. On the very shore there is a camping of the same name, offering shelter to surfers. In the local surf club, not only any equipment is rented out, but also rooms for the night. It is not as crowded as in Laguna, which makes recreation and sports more comfortable.

Tips and Tricks

Surf Center

Large sails are hardly used here. The most commonly used sails are from 4 to 5.6 meters. In terms of wind forecasts, you should trust the data of the Vetratoria surf station published on their website. The situation at the moment in Laguna can be assessed using the webcam of the Five Squares surf station. Given the cool weather and cooler water temperatures in winter, a wetsuit is a must for a surfer in Dahab. In summer, in order not to get burned, a short wetsuit or a special lycra suit is enough.

Motor boats are used in Laguna for towing and rescue needs. In the Light House zone, they are prohibited, as there is also a place for diving and snorkeling. In the event of a breakdown of the equipment, you can easily get ashore here on your own. But you need to be especially careful, stay away from reefs and divers.

Platforms are available for offshore recreation, and professional and young solo surfers can use waterproof walkie-talkies to call for help.

Windsurfing clubs in Dahab are numerous and varied, offering both equipment and training services, so finding a club to your liking is not difficult. Those who want to learn how to ride and improve their skills should not save on training. Moreover, there are many professional instructors, including Russian-speaking ones, who help to master the skating technique and the rules for handling equipment.

In addition to private lessons, open workshops, competitions, gatherings of windsurfers from different countries are constantly held here, not to mention group and individual courses. A variety of equipment allows you to master this sport and teenagers, starting from ten years old and overweight elderly uncles.

Interview with the winner of the Rio Games in windsurfing Stefania Elfutina

In 2016, she brought Russia the first Olympic medal in windsurfing in 20 years. Bronze medalist of the Olympic Games in Rio in the RS:X class, multiple world and European champion among juniors Stefania Elfutina, in a conversation with Olympic Channel , spoke about the coronavirus year, assessed the development of windsurfing in Russia, remembered Rio and explained why Instagram is not active.

I am currently rebuilding

Olympic Channel: According to the latest news, you have now suspended your preparations for the Olympics due to health reasons. Are you all right?

Stefania Elfutina: I would not like to talk too much about my health. Now I’m in the process of rebuilding. I have rehabilitation, maintenance training. Indeed, I am not in the best sports shape, but I continue to exercise and restore my health.

I don’t know yet when I can return to a full-time job. You need to do everything gradually and look at your condition. Everyone has it individually. The human body is not a machine after all, only in relation to technology can a specific forecast be made. I hope everything ends well.

Optimism is present in any case, regardless of the timing. This is health. And no matter how much time it takes to recover, I will spend this time. Professional sports are not an easy story for physical condition. Sometimes it happens. And if you always think that you can not be in time somewhere, then you will quickly go crazy.

OC: How was 2020 for you?

CE: I had one start a year, the world championship. But already there it was clear that you need to take care of your health. However, the start was planned several months in advance, so I had to perform. After returning from there, she began rehabilitation. Then quarantine came, it seems that it was made just for me. So that I can solve health issues, as well as finish my studies. In the spring I was preparing for graduation, and in the summer I defended my dissertation at the Kuban Sports University. At the beginning of the year, there were many thoughts on how to combine preparation for the Tokyo Olympics and graduation, as education has always been important to me. By the way, my master’s work was on windsurfing, but I didn’t want to just unsubscribe. So quarantine helped. I did a quality job, prepared properly and got an A on defense.

Got a guitar with my sisters and enjoyed this time

OC: So you are not one of those who downloaded work from the Internet?

CE: I wouldn’t download anyway. That’s not why I went to school. I’m used to, if I do something, I do it qualitatively. Moreover, my work was about a new type of sailboard, which will be at the Olympic Games from 2024. That is, in 2021 there will be one species – RS: X, which since 2008. And in 2024, there will be a completely new equipment called Foyle – this is a new look at windsurfing.

OC: Have you ridden the new board yet?

CE: Yes, already trained. It popped up in droves a few years ago. So we have been studying this class for a couple of years. The fact is that the equipment that was in Rio and will be in Tokyo will become irrelevant by 2024. Instead, Starboard Foil will come.

OC: This is your first year in a long time where you learned windsurfing mostly theoretically. How difficult was it to accept such changes?

CE: You correctly said that many years have passed in an intense competitive regime. And I did not think that in the next ten years there would be such an opportunity to spend more than a month at home with my family. When you ride around the world for a long time, sometimes you want to stop. Of course, the thoughts were filled with the Olympics, but since the opportunity arose to spend time productively in a different sense, it was impossible not to use it. Family always comes first. So the situation is so developed and it was necessary to find pluses.

OC: Have you got any new hobbies this year?

CE: It took a lot of time to prepare for the defense, plus training. And just enjoy the time spent at home. They took out a dusty guitar with their sisters, sang in the evenings, cooked, equipped the house, watched films that they had long wanted to see. I read books, replenished energy and emotional reserves.

On the podium in the Olympic Rio

After the Rio Games they said it was a “medal with a spare”

OC: It seemed that after the Rio Games, windsurfing began to pay more attention. Is it really?

CE: Seemed. Although it is very difficult for me to answer this question correctly. I am a bit in a vacuum regarding the development of windsurfing in the country. Training camps abroad, competitions abroad. So it was not possible to experience how it is in Russia. My sports career continued anyway. According to my feelings, at first there was a surge, and then all the same, everything went down to the level that it was. I hope that after the summer of 2016, when I managed to win a medal, and the next season, children or teenagers already learned about this sport and wanted to play it. I hope more people want to try windsurfing for themselves.

OC: You said that the best place for windsurfing is Sochi. Are there other places?

CE: We have many places in Russia.

Sochi is good because in mid-December it’s 20 degrees Celsius and you can practice. This is a working month. It is not always possible to go out only in February, the coldest month. In many other places the season lasts 5-6 months. Petersburg is good in summer, the weather conditions are excellent there. I have never tried to race in Eastern Russia, there is an ocean, and windsurfing appears. I would like to try riding there. I wonder what the conditions are there: Russia and the ocean.

OC: How much have you changed as an athlete in the four years since Rio?

CE: In Rio I was still a daring youngster. Then the task was to get competitive experience, and we paid a lot of attention to this. After Rio, they said that this was a “medal with a margin”, received unreasonably early. But we really prepared, invested a lot over the course of several years. And everything turned out great. Then another work began, I became more experienced. The head began to work better, better. The opportunities I had just got better. I got older, smarter.

The brain works differently at the Games

OC: In addition to you, other athletes will represent Russia in Tokyo in sailing. Can you assess your chances and the chances of the national team in Tokyo?

CE: Let me put it this way: the Olympic Games are a big misconception. In all classes, only one person per country can race. If at the 2019 World Cup there were 120 girls, then at the Games there were only 25. It seems that it seems even easier, there is no such crowd at the start, there is more pure wind. But as soon as you get there, the view changes. Four years ago, I perceived this as another start. And this thought saved me. Now I understand that this is not just another start. There you have to find yourself in a new way, behave in a new way, the brain works differently, the body works absolutely differently. You are like on another planet. Very heavy psychological burden.

The body is preparing for the Olympic Games at the maximum, everyone is ready to die for a medal. Therefore, everything is decided by the head, psychology. And this is an unpredictable story. For me, the mantra of all the Olympic Games has been to fight to the very end. You never know what can happen to your head, to the heads of other participants. Some predictions are inappropriate. In sailing, a lot depends on weather conditions. Everyone who goes to the Games should set a goal to win gold.

OC: What is special about Tokyo water?

CE: We raced there twice. This is an unusual area – the ocean. He can be very harsh. Big differences from Rio. But sometimes Tokyo is very reminiscent of Sochi: a big wave rolls and a weak, weak wind. But also with a big wave there can be a strong wind. Of course, it is more difficult on the ocean, but it looks like Sochi. So we’re in the black.

New social networks? Better new windsurfing!

OC: Do you plan to participate in any competitions before the Tokyo Games?

CE: Don’t know yet. I really can’t say anything. Will there be any competition or not. You can plan anything, but everything changes every day. So I’m getting ready on my own. And I will start from the situations that come to me.

OC: Assuming no starts before the Olympics, how difficult would it be to compete?

CE: You really don’t want to be in a situation where you go to the Olympics without competitive adrenaline. I would like tournaments to appear in a couple of months. These are completely different results. The probability of accidents will become even higher.

OC: Why are you not active on Instagram? It seemed that in your sport you can make cool content, attract sponsors and promote yourself to the masses.

CE: After the Rio Games there was such an attempt, but windsurfing, unfortunately, is of no interest to anyone in Russia. There was also no influx of sponsors. It seems to me that now everyone is a bit of a blogger at heart and would not like to get into this rut. When I understand that I have something to tell, I will develop the page. Now there is no such thing.

OC: But by then TikTok will be more popular. ..

CE: Oh, no no no. I am ready to master new types of windsurfing, but it is difficult for me to learn new social networks.

Stefania Elfutina: “Four years ago I perceived it as another start. And this thought saved me.”

Tours and trips to Vietnam

tourists in Vietnam.

In this exotic country, you can stand on the board for the first time or hone your professional skills. There are many schools and stations on the coast that will teach beginners and rent equipment.

The best resorts

Mui Ne

The main region for activities is the famous Mui Ne (south of Vietnam). Previously, it was an ordinary village of fishermen, and now it is a resort with a well-developed infrastructure. The spot is popular among windsurfers due to stable moderate winds, sufficient wave height and a couple of places where even in strong winds the sea is relatively flat.

The bottom is flat, the sand is fine, there is no aggressive flora and fauna of the marine area. Local competitions and qualifying rounds for international competitions are regularly held here. Mui Ne is proudly called the surfing capital of Vietnam.

Vung Tau

An alternative to the crowded Mui Ne is the resort Vung Tau. The beach is smaller here, but the waves are constant. For beginners in surfing, the waves of the resort will seem aggressive and high.

Why You Should Visit Spain

There are plenty of reasons why tens of millions of tourists visit Spain each year. Here are a few of the top reasons why you should visit Spain.

Scenery

Spain boasts some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in all of Europe. From the peaks of the Pyrenees in the north to the beaches of the Canary Islands in the south, there are plenty of stunning landscapes to explore.

And let’s not forget about Spain’s cities! Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Seville, Valencia, and Pamplona are just a few of the many beautiful places you can visit.

Beaches

Spain has some of the best beaches in Europe, if not the world. The Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, and the Canary Islands are all popular beach destinations. Spain is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a place to enjoy the sun and sand.

Culture

Spain is a country with a rich culture and history. From Flamenco dancing and bullfighting to Gaudí architecture and tapas, there are plenty of things to see, do, and eat.

Spain is also home to some of the world’s most famous art museums, such as the Prado Museum in Madrid and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona.

Food

Spanish food is some of the best in the world. From paella and Jamón ibérico to gazpacho and churros, there are plenty of delicious dishes to try.

And of course, let’s not forget about Spanish wine! Spain is one of the world’s largest producers of wine, and there are plenty of vineyards to visit.

Overall Best Time to Visit Spain

Oleg_P/Shutterstock

The best time to visit Spain is spring (March to May) or fall (September to November). This time is when the weather is mild and pleasant, with fewer crowds than in the summer.

Of course, this isn’t true everywhere in Spain. The Canary Islands, for example, are warm and sunny year-round. And if you’re interested in winter sports, then the best time to visit Spain would be in the winter (December to February).

Spain has a reputation for being a sunny country, and for a good reason. On average, Spain receives around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. That said, the country’s weather can vary depending on the region.

The north of Spain is cooler and wetter than the south, for example. But colder temperatures and higher elevation in some areas make this an optimal destination for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding as well!

The Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwest Africa. The islands are known for their year-round warm weather and stunning beaches.

The best time to visit the Canary Islands is in the spring (March to May) or fall (September to November) because winter and summer are high seasons for these Islands, meaning that accommodations and flights would be more expensive.

The Mediterranean Coast, Central Spain, and Catalonia

The Mediterranean Coast is the stretch of land along Spain’s southeastern coast. This area includes the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, Costa del Sol, and Costa de la Luz. Central Spain includes Madrid and Catalonia is on the Northeast side of Spain, which includes Barcelona.

The best time to visit all of these regions is in the spring (March to May) or fall (September to October), when the weather is mild and more delightful than the winter, and there are fewer crowds than in the summer.

Fewer crows are especially welcome, as these areas are the most popular tourist areas in the country.

The Spanish Pyrenees

The Spanish Pyrenees are a mountain range that runs along the border of Spain and France. The Spanish Pyrenees is a popular destination for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding.

The best time to visit the Spanish Pyrenees is in the winter (December to February) when the temperatures are low, and the snow is fresh.

Cheapest Time to Visit Spain

LucVi/Shutterstock

The overall low season in Spain is January to February when the weather is colder, and it’s past the holiday season. This time is also unsurprisingly the cheapest time to visit Spain as well.

You can get great deals and budget prices on things like flights, accommodation, and even food if you’re willing to brave the cooler temperatures. Many museums and attractions also offer reduced prices or free admission during the low season.

We suggest using Skyscanner’s Whole Month Search tool to search for even better flight deals. Skyscanner supports travelers by helping them compare flights from different airlines and ultimately find the lowest-priced options for their desired dates or date range.

Additionally, you can use Hopper. Hopper is a helpful tool that utilizes historical flight data to predict future flight fares. This data prediction allows you to reserve flights earlier and with more confidence.

Least Busy Time to Visit Spain

As with many tourism hot spots, the cheapest time to visit is also usually the least busy time to visit: which is the low season. That said, the least busy time to visit Spain is also during the wintertime, between December and February.

However, the business will depend on which region of Spain you plan to visit. You can still expect crowds if you’re going to the Pyrenees during this time and/or a popular ski resort.

If you want to visit Spain during the low season, don’t mind colder temperatures, and avoid as many crowds as possible, your best bet is to wait until the holiday season is over and visit from January to February.

Worst Time to Visit Spain

Marques/Shutterstock

The worst time to visit Spain is in the summer (July and August). The weather during this time is sweltering, often hitting over 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Additionally, since this is the most popular time to visit Spain, you can expect higher prices on everything from flights and accommodations to food and activities. Crowds will also be at their largest during the summer.

If you’re not a fan of large crowds, we suggest avoiding Spain during this time.Keep in mind that the dates for the high and low seasons can vary depending on the specific region within Spain that you’re visiting.

For example, the Canary Islands generally have a high season that lasts from mid-June to late August, while much of the rest of Spain’s high season is from mid-July to late August.

When deciding when to visit Spain, be sure to consider the specific region(s) you want to visit as well as the activities you want to do while you’re there.

Things to Consider

RossHelen/Shutterstock

When planning a trip to Spain, you may want to keep the following points in mind:

Know the weather patterns. It’s crucial to consider what you want to do when choosing the best time of year for your trip. For example, if you’d like to go to the beaches but don’t want it to be too hot, visiting in the spring will be a better option than the summer or winter.
Check event calendars for plans year-round. There are various cultural and traditional festivals throughout the year in Spain. If you would like to attend one of those, it would be a good idea to find out when it’s being held that year and schedule your trip around that, so you don’t miss it!
Plan ahead. Because Spain is the second-most visited country in the world after France, it’s essential to book accommodations, adventure excursions, and even popular restaurant reservations ahead of time – regardless of when you’re visiting.
Don’t rush! There’s an incredible amount of activities and attractions for all sorts of travelers in Spain that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Instead of trying to see the whole country in one trip, it’s better to pick a specific city or region – especially for a trip shorter than two weeks.

Other quick tips for Spain include:

Get familiar with Spain’s siestas – and enjoy its benefits.
Save money through bus transportation.
Tipping is optional and uncommon, but small tips are still welcome.
Buy travel insurance.
Try to attend at least one big festival.
Go big on food and wine.

Travel Guide To The Spanish Canary Islands

Basic Information on Spanish Islands

To put them on the map, the Canary Islands are situated in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of northwest Africa not far from the Sahara Desert as the crow flies. The sunny subtropical climate makes this the perfect latitude for a holiday any time of year.

In contrast, the Balearic Islands lay closer to Spain’s coastline in the Mediterranean Sea which means the weather is seasonal – hot sunshine in summer, warm enough in spring and autumn but somewhat unpredictable although reasonably mild in winter (a bit chilly to lounge by the pool though).

Spain has 3 other small inhabited islands, all of which attract visitors in summertime. Illa d’Arousa and La Toja -part of the picturesque seaside resort of O’Grove– are in Galicia, northwest Spain. Both are connected to the Pontevedra coast by bridge. Tabarca is anchored in the Mediterranean, just off the shores of Alicante on the Costa Blanca, and easily reached by boat.

The Canary Islands are habitually bright and sunny, with a warmer climate than mainland Spain they can be enjoyed year round and are only a couple of hours or so away by plane.

Ancient History of the Spanish Canary Islands

‘The Canary Islands were once believed to be the remains of the sunken continent of Atlantis and the Guanches direct descendants of the Atlantians.’

Anaga coast, Tenerife.

Long before history was actually recorded tales of the Canary Islands were legend; a mythical kingdom to be found beyond the Pillars of Hercules, through the Straits of Gibraltar on the way to the ‘Dark Sea’. Classical authors sited ‘Paradise’ here, the elusive ‘Elysian Fields’ or ‘Garden of Hesperides’. Adventurers spoke of ‘Nivaria’ and the awesome snow-tipped peak rising above the clouds, ancient stories in fact of Tenerife and Mount Teide. They called the islands ‘Canines’ after the fierce hunting dogs who roamed the lands. The native Guanches, ‘giants dressed in animal skins’, lived isolated from the rest of the world as they were not, apparently, a seafaring people.

The Canary Archipelago consists of the seven major islands -Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, El Hierro, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura- and several minor ones (Alegranza, Montaña Clara, Roque de Este and La Graciosa located off Lanzarote, and Isla de Lobos to the northeast of Fuerteventura).

Exploring the Canary Isles it’s easy to become fascinated with volcanoes. The islands began forming as shifting continental plates caused volcanic eruptions on the oceanic crust over 60 million years ago, Fuerteventura being the oldest.

1. TENERIFE Travel Guide

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and famous for it’s volcanic peak Mount Teide the highest point in Spain (3718m).

Teide National Park, Tenerife.

North Tenerife

Puerto de la Cruz is Tenerife’s traditional resort, the picturesque seaside town where wealthy Europeans ventured for an exotic holiday in the mid 1900’s before beaches or the Caribbean came into fashion. Elegant hotels in an old town bright with potted flowers still have those typical wooden balconies and the original restaurants, which overhang the black cliff face, that old-fashioned kind of classy décor. The unchanging backdrop of Teide volcano piercing the sunshine makes this the same postcard perfect picture that great aunt Doris sent home to the family in chilly England all those decades ago.

The Costa Martiánez seafront lido makes up for the lack of sand, the immense seawater lake surrounded by more swimming pools, sundecks and exotic gardens with cascades, Jacuzzis and cataracts, is just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean. Puerto de la Cruz’s 18^th century Botanical Gardens and Loro Parque wildlife ‘parrot park’ are the must-sees for nature lovers.

The town’s varied selection of international restaurants make a change from hotel cuisine and a healthy night-life to suit most tastes feature terraces with live music, open air cafes where you can watch folkloric dancers, trendy pubs and even a real Cuban cocktail club where salsa lessons are part of the fun.

Santa Cruz is the capital, a busy port city on the northern tip of Tenerife. Las Teresitas manmade sandy beach, shopping malls and the glitzy Carnival annual celebration are some of the attractions.

The Canary Islands have a special tax free status, meaning consumer goods cost up to 21% less. Car hire and petrol are consequently cheaper. However, purchases must be declared at customs on return to mainland Spain, and on entering your own country, so it’s virtually impossible to sneak out with a sports car or diamonds!

South Tenerife

While weather in the north of the island is almost tropical (expect a cooling downfall) the far south is pure sun and fun. The southern Tenerife seaside resorts are a modern-day invention, geared to beach life and the entertainment scene.

Los Gigantes, Tenerife.

English is the second language! Costa Del Silencio, Los Cristianos, Playa De Las Americas, Costa Adeje or Los Gigantes are the places to look out for. Attractions include the waterpark and numerous beaches. A variety of island excursions and boat trips are available, including the ferry ride to La Gomera from Los Cristianos harbour.

Inland Tenerife and Mount Teide

Teide National Park, Tenerife.

The tall peak of Volcano Teide can be seen from everywhere, the lava fields spilling down from the centre of the island. Protected parkland with a cable car system partway up, the last stretch has to be hiked on foot. This is highest spot in the whole of Spain! The interesting Teide Observatory studies zodiacal light and maps out the galaxy with the best telescopes in Europe.

La Gomera is a green massif which rises like a seamount from the chasm that separates this small island from Tenerife, almost as if it’s been thrown into the sea by one of the legendary giants.

The Magic Island is pure unadulterated nature, mountainous terrain divided by deep gullies swathed with subtropical shrubs and phoenix palm. Forget the holiday crowds on the Canary Costas and take pleasure in hiking the trails, exploring this natural world, stepping across hanging bridges into the misty landscape, like a modern-day Livingstone adventurer.

Meriga rain forest trail, La Gomera.

The local ferry leaves Tenerife from Los Cristianos harbour for the short ride over to San Sebastian de La Gomera, a laidback little colonial town sheltered by cliffs. From here it’s a car or coach ride up to the Garajonay National Park which runs through the central plateau. The mythical Garajonay rock guards the gateway to a rain forest which has been here since Neanderthal man, a biosphere reserve of millennium ‘laurisilva’ laurel trees interspersed with streams, moisture drawn from clouds on their relentless way over the Atlantic Ocean.

Valle Gran Rey is the most popular place to stay on the island. A landscape of volcanic rock encloses a steep sided valley leading down to whitewashed hamlets, a natural harbour, and a string of black sand beaches.

Puerto Santiago in La Gomera, Canary Isles.

Playa de Santiago is another favourite with holidaymakers, a typical fishing village where you can dine on freshly caught seafood in the evenings. Surrounded by terraced fields and with the longest beach on the island, this corner of La Gomera makes an idyllic getaway.

3. LA PALMA Travel Guide

The Island of La Palma is one of the least known and most naturally beautiful destinations in Canaries, and possibly the whole of Spain. La Isla Bonita, Canary’s ‘lovely island’ is virtually unspoiled by tourism so far, a high central spine running from north to south formed by a succession of volcanoes, with pine clad slopes and banana plantations that almost reach down to the sea.

Panaoramic views over La Palma coastline.

The views from any point of La Palma are spectacular. The most convenient and exciting way to explore this fascinating island is to hire a car although organized tours are available.

Santa Cruz de La Palma beach.

Santa Cruz de la Palma is the capital, an authentic colonial city with wooden balconied houses and cobblestone roads that lead down to the port, facing towards Tenerife in the distance. There is a black sand bay at the small quiet vacation village of nearby Breña Baja, and a lengthy stretch of manmade beach at the busy colourful resort of Tazacorte over on the west coast.

Tazacorte on the west coast of La Palma.

Natural sea pools on the rocky coastline are ideal for swimming and part of the enchantment of coming somewhere different. And La Palma is definitely unique! Dining inside a volcanic tube is a pretty rare experience, for example – platters of homemade sausage and goats’ cheese are served with the local wine in an unusual bodega by the lava fields.

Charco Azul seawater rock pools, La Palma.

Come prepared with hiking boots to discover some of the natural wonders. Los Tiles ancient laurisilva rain forest is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a walkers’ lost paradise; the exotic Caldera de Taburiente National Park, a huge volcanic crater replete with pine trees and cascading water.

Caldera de Taburiente crater, La Palma Island.

Carry on down to Fuencaliente at the southern tip of the island where the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge ends at Teneguia, the cone that erupted back in 1971.

Echentive ‘new’ beach Echentive ‘new’ beach under Fuencaliente Volcano, La Palma Island.

Finally drive up through pinewoods to Roque de los Muchachos 2,423m above sea level, to where an astronomical observatory monitors the universal skies and the panorama is utterly stunning.

La Palma Volcano Erruption

The latest volcanic erruption in the Canary islands occurred on La Palma. The Cumbre Vieja volcano errupted violently on the island of La Palma, on the afternoon of September 19, 2001, after nearly 50 years of lying dormant. Almost 3 months later the volcanic activity and earth tremors ceased.

Thousands of earth tremors over the previous 2 weeks warned of the eminent erruption which finally took place around 15. 10 (GMT+1) on Sunday the 19th of September, 2021. Several vent mouths and volcanic fissures spewed out molten rock towards Los Llanos de Aridane valley and the popular coastal resorts of Tazacorte and Playa de Puerto Naos, over the following three months. The intense lava fountains could be seen and heard from miles around. Dozens of small earthquakes were felt everyday at different points of the island, the biggest of magnitude 5.1 which occurred some 30 kilometres south east from Los Llanos de Aridane.

More than 7,000 local residents, as well as livestock, were evacuated in precaution from possible danger zones. Although the erruptions have been occuring in an unpopulated area away from villages and towns, the flowing lava engulfed more than 3000 homes, as well covering banana plantations and other agricultural land which lay in its path.

On December 25th 2021, volcanologists confirmed that the volcano has ceased activity and is now considered to be dormant.

While 10% of the island has been affected by the volcanic activity, the majority of roads and walking trails are now open (check which routes are closed on La Palma). The main areas affected are on the west coast, particularly Llanes de Aridane. Beach resorts at Puerto Naos and Tazacorte may be temporarily closed.

La Palma is a safe destination and the perfect place for a vacation. If you love nature, peacefulness and sunny skies, visit La Palma in 2022 to support the islanders.

4. EL HIERRO Travel Guide

Shoals of multicoloured fish play among corals in a clear azure ocean which bathes iridescent black shores where the darkest of cliffs rise to bright blue skies, meanwhile the isle hides aquamarine pools and green primeval forests from strangers’ sight. El Hierro’s artistic palette spills from volcanic peaks as the setting sun stains the horizon deep orangey-pink and an indigo twilight shimmers with a million silver stars.

El Hierro is one of the best places in the world to visit this year, according to National Geographic! However, COVID 19 changed our travel plans, many of the ‘25 most exciting destinations’ were no longer viable as countries closed their borders to international tourists. El Hierro may well top the list of must-sees now, as the smallest of the Canary Isles welcomes holidaymakers back. Not your usual sun, fun and merrymaking Spanish resort, El Hierro is an entirely different and nature loving experience.

El Hierro is a UNESCO Biosphere and Marine Reserve, and a Global Geopark. Leading the way in sustainable living, the island is powered by hydro-wind electricity and eco-friendly tourism rules. A ‘Smart Island’ entirely connected to the world with free wifi, the local philosophy combines the best of traditional and modern worlds.

A two-and-a-half ferry ride away west of Tenerife and all on its own in the Atlantic Ocean, it’s not exactly a crowd puller but a well kept secret! A contrasting landscape -envision high coastal cliffs and deep inland valleys, meadows and lava fields, a network of hiking trails with panoramic views, stunning natural swimming pools cupped in volcanic rock- and a varied ecosystem where evergreen laurel and pine forests prevail, palms shade the sunny slopes and junipers twisted by centuries of sea breeze embody the island’s solitary spirit. Sounds gorgeous doesn’t it? But this only part of the charm, the thrilling undersea world and abundant marine life are the real allure.

Best Canary Island For Diving

La Restinga is the fishing village on the south coast where the dive schools are based, typically quaint and a great place to stay. The weather is ideal for diving any time of year and visibility is good. One of the best dive sites in Europe, Mar de la Calmas Marine Reserve is located just off the coast. The diversity of marine life is quite extraordinary, the sub-aquatic world of rocky pinnacles, tunnels and grottos an underwater playground where parrot fish, seahorses, angel sharks, dolphins, turtles thrive. The seabed abruptly drops down 300 metres to volcanic rocks where you’ll see sponges and anemones on the yellow and black corals, and other little creatures that inhabit the deep.

Beaches and Sea Pools of El Hierro

‘The Beaches’ are 9 kilometres of black sand and pebble coves that circle around the practically virgin coastline. Playa de Arenas Blancas is the only ‘white beach’ on the island, the sand made of crushed seashells which together with the surrounding lunar landscape give a truly exotic effect. Playa de Tacorón is a small red sand beach whose added attractions are the natural sea pools.

Charco Azul sea pool, El Hierro. Photo courtesy Christian Oliveira Random Trip

Pop along to the volcano interpretation centre to learn how the island formed over millions of years and the more recent sub-aquatic eruption 2011, the latest volcanic activity on El Hierro.

Valverde is the only inland town and the capital of El Hierro, built some 700m up the mountainside it has impossibly steep streets, a historical 18th century church and a local cheesecake factory. The island’s airport is 15 minute bus ride away down on the Costa de los Cangrejos coast.

Papas arrugadas con mojo verde, a typical Canary Isle appetizer.

Talking about food, El Hierro’s produce is sustainable too. Typical ‘papas con mojo’ (those tiny potatoes cultivated in volcanic soil, then boiled and served with spicy sauce), thick vegetable soups, seafood rice and fresh fish are culinary favourites. Rabbit and goat are the specialties for those who eat meat. Figs, grapes and dates are the fruits of the land, the local wine and cheese a treat!

Advice on How to Get to El Hierro

By Air
Direct daily flights to El Hierro Airport from Tenerife and Gran Canaria. From other destinations you will need a connecting flight.
By Sea
Daily ferries from Santa Cruz or Los Cristianos in Tenerife, and from La Gomera.

5. GRAN CANARIA Travel Guide

Gran Canaria is sometimes called the ‘mini continent’ due to the great diversity of landscape and climate. It is almost circular in shape with sandy beaches that enjoy year round sunshine and a mountainous interior.

Sunset over Las Canteras Beach in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

Las Palmas is the busy port city capital on the northern tip, Barrio de Vegueta the historical part of town, Las Canteras the famous urban beach.

South Coast of Gran Canaria

Down south is the mega tourist resort of Playa del Inglés, known as one Europe’s favourite LGBT destinations it’s also a great clubbing town with fabulous beaches.

Maspalomas sand dunes, Gran Canaria.

The vast dunes of Maspalomas remain remarkably untouched by time, a desert-like eight kilometre strip of undulating golden sands that reach along to the sea (nudism allowed in the central stretch). Continue on to the lively but more family orientated Puerto Rico, a holiday village built around a sandy bay just bursting with life.

Puerto de Mogán marina, Gran Canaria.

Puerto de Mogán is a picturesque harbour far south, way down below the cliffs with bougainvillea-covered, whitewashed traditional fishing cottages that are linked by canals. The yachting marina is lined with classy restaurants, just round the corner from a fine sand bay.

Inland Gran Canaria

Inland from here the mountainside is rugged and dry with tiny remote villages which seem lost in time. A drive along twisting roads up through the clouds eventually leads to Cruz de Tejada, the huge mountain in the heart of the island. Nearby is Roque Nublo, a volcanic monolith which symbolizes Gran Canaria. From here the contrast is evident as the road twists down through forest and green valleys where precarious footpaths lead to difficultly accessible cave houses where folk still live. Visit in springtime to walk the trails near Valsequillo and Tejeda, as this is one of the prettiest areas to see almond blossom in Spain.

Roque Nublo and Cruz de Tejada peak, Gran Canaria.

Valleseco is something else again. The name means the ‘dry valley’ which is curious because rain falls constantly all year. Long strips of bark hang down from the giant trees giving an eerie ghostly effect though the dripping mist. The small town of Teror is hidden away in the folds of the mountainous countryside, traditional Canary style houses anchored either side of a ravine in a gravity challenging feat.

Arucas cathedral, Gran Canaria.

Arucas is a typical town in a rural setting surrounded by banana plantations not far from the capital. A monumental ‘Cathedral’, a local rum distillery and the Mirador de la Montaña viewpoint the main claims to fame. Caldera de Bandama is a large ‘cauldron’ crater a kilometre in diameter by 200 metres deep created by volcanic activity. A narrow path leads to a plain below where the isolation of the people who farm the land gives life to local legends.

West Coast of Gran Canaria

Agaete harbour on the west coast of Gran Canaria.

The Agaete coastline lies on the western side of the island, inpenetrable dark cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean and the best place to sip a cool beer from the deck of a beach bar beside the harbour while watching the sun set over the Atlantic.

6. LANZAROTE Travel Guide

The Sunshine Isle
The most north-easterly of the ‘Fortunate Isles’, as the Canaries were once known, and only 125 kilometres from the African Continent, Lanzarote with over 300 volcanoes is extraordinary. Sculpted by the great volcanic eruptions of the 18^th Century from 1730 to 1736, the earth spat fire almost continuously, the lava buried a third of the entire island, whole villages disappeared and what had once been fertile land was covered by lava. This was the birth of the ‘Montañas de Fuego’ – in six years of eruptions more than 100 volcanoes rose up from the flames.

Volcanic Landscape and West Coast of Lanzarote

Nowadays you can drive up through the surreal landscape on well paved roads to Timanfaya National Park and look into the depths of Fire Mountains. Although it’s obviously touristy, eating something barbecued over a live vent is a pretty unusual fun thing to do!

Charco Verde, Lanzarote.

The adjacent coastline has a dramatic beauty too. Sunbeams sparkle off Charco Verde’s olive green waters, a small crater wedged between the ebony cliffs and the ocean. Move on south to Los Hervideros to watch the sea ‘boiling’ an optical effect caused by waves gushing through underwater cavities cut into the molten rock seabed. The contrast continues south at Salinas de Janubio where salt lakes shimmer whitely against the black shingle beach.

Salinas de Janubio salt lakes, Lanzarote.

The west coast is wild and untamed! To the north, Caleta de Famara is an unpaved fishing village with a tiny harbour and a vast windswept beach which surfers just love. The skyline bright with paragliders sailing over the cliffs and kites flying out at sea.

Caleta de Famara, Lanzarote.

Whitewashed inland villages are typically bright with flowers, the locals traditionally making their living from the land. It’s surprising to see how the fields of lava which cover much of the island are used for crops, the barren looking farmland growing fruit and vegetables, and even grape vines!

Vine plantations in Lanzarote.

Lanzarote East Coast – The Best Beaches

Puerto Del Carmen is one of the three main resorts on the island, a lively seaside town with loads of eateries and pubs along the promenades, long golden sandy beaches and a little harbour with seafood restaurants. A favourite place to stay with a great holiday atmosphere, you can just walk out onto the beach and swim in the habitually calm sea, and it’s centrally located for exploring the whole island by car or on a coach trip.

Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote.

Playa Blanca ‘white beach’ is an indolent southern village facing Fuerteventura which has managed to keep the original charm –you can get a ferry over to see the neighbouring isle. The outlying all-inclusive-holiday complexes are like Caribbean resorts with sunny weather all year to enjoy the exotic pools, but much closer to home and children friendly!

Papagayo Beaches, Lanzarote.

Lanzarote’s best beaches are a walk away at Papagaya Bay. A protected nature reserve, dunes enclose a peaceful succession of seven white-sand bays and shallow aquamarine sea, one of the most perfect settings in the world.

Arrecife is the capital, a busy port city with an ancient fort castle and a history of invading pirates. The coastline continues north along Costa Teguise where there are lots of holiday homes and an endless variety of beaches.

The North of Lanzarote

Volcanic tunnels connect a network of partly explored caves. Cueva de los Verdes is one of these – a guided tour to discover the depths will reveal the dark cavern’s ‘secret’. Jameos Del Agua is part of the same system bordering the sea. The scene has been beautifully set by an underground lake where concerts are held in a natural auditorium.

Jameos Del Agua, Lanzarote.

The highlands in the north are greener and reasonably tourist-free. Mirador del Río is the famous panoramic viewpoint over the straits to the Chinijo Isles. Órzola is a busy fishing village which is ideal for a tapas or seafood lunch. Come early to catch the boat over to La Graciosa.

7. LA GRACIOSA Island

Caleta de Sebo, La Graciosa.

La Graciosa (27 km2) is the smallest inhabited island of the Canaries. A brief boat ride to Caleta de Sebo takes you over to another world, a whitewashed village with sand ‘roads’, where the locals mostly make their living from fishing. Hire a push bike or walk the trails, and then spend a leisurely few hours lazing on the deserted, white sandy beaches.

La Francesa beach, La Graciosa.

8. FUERTEVENTURA Travel Guide

Fuerteventura is a haven for the adventurous with immense, deserted, windswept, sandy beaches ideal for water sports. Corralejo, to the north, is a busy resort, while the quieter Caleta de Fuste is a sheltered bay and is geared towards families with small children. The Jandia Peninsula is a wind-surfers paradise.

Cofete Beach in the Jandia Penisula, Fuerteventura.

Over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, 340 kilometres of coastline, 150 beaches, 2 ½ hour flight from mainland Spain, can you ask for more? Fuerteventura is the ‘Fortunate Isle’ where massive stretches of untamed sandy beaches, sheltered bays and solitary coves meet turquoise sea, a paradise for sun worshippers, naturalists and surfboarders of every kind. Watch the sun rise and set over the ocean, contemplate the undulating landscape of volcanic hills, feel the essence of Fuerteventura, live an adventuresome dream.

East Coast of Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, yes the whole island and surrounding waters are a nature reserve. How cool is that! One of the Canaries least known isles, it’s avoided mass tourism to date. With a couple of holiday hubs in Corralejo and Caleta Fuste either side of capital Puerto Rosario, and a sprinkling of vacation homes the remainder is vastly untouched.

Playa Risco Del Paso, Sotavento Beach.

The endless pale sands of the east coast stretch sweep down from Corralejo towards Puerto Rosario, and the sheltered bay at Caleta Fuste. Jandia Peninsula reaches to the far south, the Alisios trade winds whipping the infinite soft sands along Costa Calma and Sotavento Beach. The paved roads peter out at Morro Jable and off-map real adventure kicks-in along an intrepid coastline where rollers surf beaches and legends are made.

Inland Fuerteventura and the West Coast

Volcanic landscape on the plains of Tiscamanita, Fuerteventura.

A drive over to the west coast passes palm dappled villages with colonial names, like Antigua or Betancuria, on the way to the darkly dangerous coves of Caleta Negra and Playa de los Muertos. Double back inland over the windmill strewn plains up towards Fuerteventura’s emblematical volcano Tindaya Mountain, on to La Oliva and the northwest coast.

El Cotillo harbour at sunset, Fuerteventura.

El Cotillo is the old fishing village with a huge sandy beach protected by cliffs. Attractions include the laidback atmosphere, seafood restaurants and good surf! If you’re looking for the authentic this is the place to be. Make it your base or just stop awhile to enjoy lunch and admire the views, then head northwards to explore the infinity of secluded coves, laze amongst the rock pools, and finally continue around the shimmering shoreline back to Corralejo on the east coast.

Majanicho beach on Fuerteventura north coast.

Playas Grandes and Islote De Lobos

The famous Grandes Playas lie south of Corralejo, these ten kilometres of sand dunes are the breezy ‘big beaches’ so popular with kite-boarders and windsurfers.

Corralejo Beach Grandes Playas, Fuerteventura.

Hop on the ferry to Isleta de Lobos a couple of kilometres offshore. A totally unspoiled islet with good dive sites, there is a small fishing harbor with a natural sea pool and further around the lovely La Concha beach, a shell shaped bay. This is the most perfect place for swimming and snorkeling so bring your towel, sunscreen and a picnic to make a day of it.

Lobos Isle, Fuerteventura.

Although Fuerteventura seems quite remote, it’s practically next door to Lanzarote. If a conventional holiday appeals more, stay on this neighbouring island and come over on a day trip ‘buggy safari’ for a taste of adventure.

Fuerteventura has an exotic pulse, sultry wild beaches blown by the winds, low lying volcanoes baked by the sun, a timeless land, an experience never forgotten.

Useful advice for travelling to the Canary Islands

Local Time
The Canary Islands are on the Prime Meridian Line which means local time is GMT+1, the same time zone as the UK but one hour less than mainland Spain.

Money Matters
Currency: Euros
Banks and ATMs available on all of the inhabited Canary Islands including La Graciosa.

Visa Information
Members of the EU Schengen Area can enter the Canary Islands with a valid National ID Card; citizens of the UK, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland & Liechtenstein must travel with a valid passport; other nationalities should check current visa requirements on their Foreign Office websites.

Weather in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands have the ideal climate for a holiday with sunshine all year round which is moderated by the Gulf Stream and Trade Winds. It’s warm and sunny, not sweltering hot, with mild pleasant nights.
In the summer months there is virtually no rainfall and in winter the probability of a downfall is only 3 or 4 times a month! June to October temperatures range from a high of 27-28ºC and low of 19-21ºC, while November to May brings averages of maximum 20-23º and minimum 15-17ºC. Yes, beach and pool weather all year round!
However, a subtropical effect and their unique topography mean that each island has its own microclimates and temperatures can fluctuate especially at night in the mountains.

Lanzarote is the glorious sunshine isle. Only 100 km from Africa’s coast, the weather here is hot and sunny all year, with little or no rain at all. Don’t forget to use high factor sunscreen as the sea breeze can be deceptively cooling.
Fuerteventura weather is amazingly hot and dry throughout the island, at any time of year. Although it can be extremely windy along the vast open stretches of sandy beach and offshore, there are sheltered bays and inland is less breezy.
Gran Canaria has a remarkable climate which contrasts from the hot desert sand dunes of Mas Palomas on a sunny eastern coast bathed by the sea, to the diverse contrasts of the alternating arid or humid inland mountain landscape.
Tenerife southern resorts are fabulously sunny all year -bask on the beach in wintertime too with a snowy Mount Teide in the distance! Northern Santa Cruz is hot and dry while inland, and west coast Puerto de la Cruz, are tropically prone to showers.
La Palma has perfect weather for everyone, beautifully warm and sunny on the coasts with a heart of lush tropical forest. However, evenings can be chilly in the mountains so wrap up if you’re overnight hiking or going out to enjoy star gazing!
La Gomera is a realm of its own. The southern part of the island is sunniest while the north is likely to be cloudier. The forests of the highlands of Garajonay Biosphere Reserve attract moisture which creates greenness and irrigates the inland valleys.
El Hierro weather is continually sunny around the coastal areas with a high central plateau where clouds form creating a microclimate rainforest. It’s a great place for sea diving year-round although the ocean is a little cooler in winter.

See Gran Canaria intercity bus website for routes and information see GuaGuas Global.

How to get around La Gomera

La Gomera is 378 km² in extension.
One of the smallest Canary Isles, the landscape is quite abrupt which should be taken into consideration when travelling by road as distances take longer than expected. Public buses run from north to south but the service is more limited that the ones on larger islands. Car hire is no doubt more convenient. Organised day trips from Tenerife are a popular way of seeing the island if time is limited.
Arriving by Ferry in La Gomera
Daily ferries from Tenerife and El Hierro, stop in San Sebastián port so this is where you’ll land if you are coming by sea.
Arriving by Air – Getting to La Gomera Airport (GMZ).
La Gomera Airport is located 5 km from Playa Santiago and only 5 minutes away; San Sebastián de La Gomera is 35 km from the airport, some 50 minutes in car. Bus line 7 links the airport to both resorts.
The distance from La Gomera Airport to Valle Gran Rey is 45 km, that’s an hour by car. You can get there on bus line 6.
See La Gomera bus timetables and full routes on GuaGua Gomera.

How to get around El Hierro

El Hierro is 278 km² in extensión.
The Canaries smallest island, measuring only 50 km from north to south with a steep mountainous landscape, it can also be the most challenging to get around. Nine bus routes reach the local towns and villages, and a limited service makes renting a car, or motorbike, a compelling option.
Getting to El Hierro Airport (VDE)
Bus line 10 links El Hierro airport to the capital Valverde in 15 minutes. The distance from the Airport to La Restinga is 41 km, 52 minutes by car.

How to get around La Palma

La Palma is 700 km² in extensión.
La Palma is the most fascinating Canary Island with a distinct eastern and western side separated by a high tree-clad volcanic ridge. There is an adequate public bus service to the main towns and villages, and a half hourly service linking the east coast to the west. Excursions and organised walking tours are available but if you want to do your own thing and explore the island at leisure car, motorbike or even jeep, hire is a must.
Getting to La Palma Airport (SPC)
La Palma Airport is on the east coast, 9 km from the capital Santa Cruz, number 5 bus links La Palma airport to Los Cancajos only 5 minutes away, and Santa Cruz. Puerto Naos is 40 km away on the west coast, a journey that takes about an hour by car.
See La Palma bus routes and timetables on the TILP web.

How to get around Lanzarote

Lanzarote has an extension of 795 km²
The most easterly island on the Canaries, there is a decent bus network and the island is geared to tourism with coach tours readily available. Renting a car or motorbike is the ideal option if you want to explore further.

Check all La Palma bus routes and timetables on Arrecife Bus site.

How to get around Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura has an expansion of 1,732 km²
This makes it the second biggest Island in the Canaries but it is much less populated than Tenerife or Gran Canaria. It’s a fairly flat island so is simple to drive around and great for cyclists.
Getting to Fuerteventura Airport (FUE).
Fuerteventura Airport is on the east coast of the island near Puerto del Rosario. Get bus number 3 from Fuerteventura airport to Caleta de Fuste only 8 km away, and to Puerto de Rosario; from Puerto del Rosario bus number 6 will take you to Corralejo.
Airport to Corralejo is 39 km, 40 minutes by car; airport to Costa Calma 65 km, 60 minutes by car.

What to Know for Visiting the Canary Islands

By Expedia, on December 30, 2019

Located off the coast of northwestern Africa, the Canary Islands are a tropical paradise and an excellent destination for beachgoers and adventurers. Whether you want a luxurious beach retreat or an adventurous outing, here are some travel tips for traveling in the Canary Islands and advice to make the most of your visit.

Punta Mujeres

When to Go

The height of the tourist season in the Canary Islands is during the winter and summer. Many people from cold climates travel in winter for an island retreat, and summer is a popular time for families. What to know before you go is to travel during the spring months of March to May and fall months of September to November. Traveling during these months will give you the same pleasant, sunny weather and warmth as the peak season, as well as lower travel rates and fewer crowds.

How to Get Around

All of the Canary Islands have airports, but if you’re coming from the U.S., you’ll have to take a flight to a European city and connect to the islands. Once you arrive on the Canary Islands, you’ll have several options for how to get around. The islands are connected by inter-island ferry services, and you can get around the islands themselves with buses or taxis. Many travelers prefer to rent a car to have the freedom to tour and explore on their own time.

Which Island to Visit

The Canary Islands vary significantly, so it’s good to know before you go and plan which island will have the best experiences for your interests. If you’re going to spend your time on the beach or enjoying watersports, Fuerteventura is the best option, while Gran Canaria and Las Palmas offer diverse landscapes of rainforests, beaches, and mountains for outdoor enthusiasts. If you want a more cultured experience, Lanzarote is the best choice. If you want hiking and remote scenery, El Hierro and La Gomera are perfect. For a mix of everything, visit Tenerife and its beautiful beaches.

Amadores Beach

What to See

Depending on where you choose to stay during your trip, the Canary Islands boast an array of must-see sights and attractions. Some of the highlights you’ll wish you knew include the Teide National Park and its massive volcano, Timanfaya National Park, Caldera de Taburiente National Park, Siam Park, Playa Blanco, and the Natural Dune Reserve of Maspalomas. You could also see the botanic park, aviary, and dolphinarium of Palmitos Park, the Cactus Garden, and the Pyramids of Güímar, an ethnology park with stone pyramids.

What to Pack

The average temperature of the Canary islands is 75°F year-round, though some areas can get cooler or hotter. When you’re packing for your trip, it’s good to anticipate weather changes and bring plenty of clothing options, such as a light jacket or sweater, closed-toe shoes that are comfortable to walk in, and hats to protect yourself from the sun. You’ll also want to bring a swimsuit, shorts, short-sleeved shirts, and sandals for hot days. You may want to bring a small backpack or a large tote bag to carry extra layers, water, and other supplies if you plan to hike or spend a long day at the beach.

Timanfaya National Park

Understand the Local Culture and Customs

The Canary Islands are part of Spain, so many of the locals speak Spanish. You’ll also find some people speak the native language, Silbo. The culture varies from island to island, and the island people are set apart from mainland Spain by Latin American influences. Most places accept credit or debit cards and euros. Carnival is a big event in the Canary Islands, much like in Brazil, and takes place in February in Tenerife. If you plan on going to Carnival, it’s best to book well in advance and plan your trip early.

Safety Tips

The Canary Islands are a safe travel destination, but it’s best to exercise caution when traveling. Popular tourist areas are the most likely places you’ll encounter petty theft, so be sure to keep your valuables with your or safely locked away in the hotel safe. Try not to bring your valuables to the beach, and if you must, be sure they’re always attended. If you’re going to be spending time on the beach or in the parks, use a lot of sunscreen to avoid sunburn and drink plenty of water.

What to Eat

The Canary Islands have restaurants that cater to virtually every cuisine and budget. If you want to experience the local flavors and culinary culture of the islands, you should try the seafood. Many local restaurants serve delicious, fresh-caught seafood-based dishes like sea bream and parrotfish with locally grown vegetables or potatoes with spicy pepper sauce. You should also sample some of the island’s local wines, which are made from grapes grown and cultivated in volcanic ash soil for a unique flavor.

Morro Jable

Know Local Restaurant Etiquette

Though it’s appreciated, tipping is not required in the Canary Islands. Members of the wait staff receive full wages and don’t rely on tips. Spanish meals tend to last longer than they do in the U.S. as well, so the wait staff won’t rush you. Mealtimes are also different, so it’s good to know before you go. Lunch usually takes place between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m., with a long break until around 7 p.m. for dinner. Many locals eat lunch later in the afternoon and don’t have dinner until after 9 p.m.

Traveling to the Canary Islands on a Budget

If you’re traveling to the Canary Islands on a budget, one of the best travel tips is to choose one island destination and spend your time there. Ferries and planes can add up, especially if you’re trying to pack all of the islands into one trip. It’s also best to travel during the shoulder or off-season and book early to get the best rates on travel and accommodations. If you have a lot of things you want to see during your trip, you can book a tour or package to save.

From its world-class resorts and pristine beaches to its fascinating attractions and diverse landscapes, there’s something for everyone in the Canary Islands. Now that you have all the essential information before visiting the Canary Islands, you’re ready to plan your trip.

A First-Timer’s Hiking Guide – Hiking Is Good

The Canary Islands are a relatively small Spanish archipelago of 7 islands waaaay down under Europe. They are a popular holiday destination for Europeans during the winter but they are also well known for their hiking possibilities.

Culturally European, geographically African, the Canaries have something for every hiker: easy strolls along the coastline, all day hikes with elevations over 3000m and multiday hikes. The hikes take you through deserts full of cacti, volcanic landscapes, pine and laurel forests, yellow and black beaches, rough coastlines and picturesque villages.

Long story short, from late October until March, it’s a hiker’s paradise. The temperatures are pleasant, the sun is barely ever hidden behind the clouds, the prices are reasonable, services great and people lovely. With the learnings from lases de español hechas a tu medida, my conversations with the locals became more interesting.

It depends how much you like the heat. I’m personally not a big fan of saunas and anything above 30˚C I consider to be non-hikeable. I think most people are like that, not really liking these sticky experiences. For us, October to April are good months to go hiking to the Canaries. I’d say from November to March it’s even better. Temperatures hover around 20˚C and the sun is up most of the time.

My friend, born and raised in La Laguna in Tenerife, once told me that temperatures in Lanzarote in July are “not too bad, only about 40 degrees”. Well, if you enjoy those kinds of temperatures, you can easily go there any month of the year. Just take a snorkel so you don’t drown in your own sweat. For the rest of us, the winter months are the best time for going hiking in the Canary Islands.

Mt Teide in January has periods of serious winter conditions

Now, which is the best Island in the Canaries to go hiking? That’s a tricky question that doesn’t have a simple answer. The first island I went hiking on was Tenerife and I was thinking “Man, nothing can beat this”. Then I went to La Gomera and I was like “Jeeeeez, this is awesome, much better than Tenerife”. After some time I learnt that each island has its pros and cons and essentially you can’t make a mistake in going to any of them.

Each island offers plenty of day walks as well as long distance hikes for experienced hikers. There is GR132 in La Gomera and, of course, GR 131 that goes through all of the islands.

Below I’ve summed up my thoughts and ideas about which Canary Island is the best island for hiking.

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest and the most populous island with the highest point of Spain, Mt Teide (3718m). There are plenty of walks of all difficulties. Yes, the beaches and Mt Teide are very busy places, but the inland areas where most hikes are located are very calm and quiet. Apart from Mt Teide, I’d meet only occasional hikers during my day walks or multiday hikes.

The landscape is very diverse from the green bushes of Anaga to the moon landscapes of Teide National Park. It’s the most diverse island of the Canaries.

If you haven’t been to the archipelago yet, I’d start in Tenerife. It’s easy to get to, with an international airport (some islands are available only by a ferry), and it provides a good sample of the landscapes that can be found on the other islands.

Mt Teide National Park

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is also very popular island for hiking. It’s easily accessible by a plane from mainland Europe. The landscape is not as diverse as in Tenerife, but still diverse enough that your eyes will open wide very often.

The trails are not as well-marked as in Tenerife. But that’s the case on the other islands, too. Basically Tenerife has the most marked trails.

The mountains of Gran Canaria are not as high as in Tenerife but good accessibility, diverse landscapes and good services make it another great first choice of the first time Canary hiker.

La Palma

La Palma is a hiking treasure of the Canaries. It hasn’t yet been affected by mass tourism to the degree of Tenerife or Gran Canaria, but it does have touristic places will obviously be very busy.

The mountains of La Palma are quite high. The highest point, Roque de los Muchachos, reaches up to 2426m. It can get really cold in the winter months so be well prepared if you decide to go for the tops.

La Palma is definitely a gem of the canaries with stunning scenery and over 250 hiking trails including 3 long distance trails.

El Hierro is the smallest of Canaries. It’s quite pricey and more complicated to get to (ferry from Tenerife) but once you there, you’ll know it was the right decision.

There aren’t that many hiking trails on the island – the island is just too small to have heaps of hiking trails like Tenerife does.

I’d say El Hierro is so special that it’s suitable for someone who’s looking for a special experience. It’s probably the least visited island and still unspoiled by tourism, so deserves to be respected.

La Gomera is a very quiet and remote place. For me, this is the number one place to go hiking in the Canary Islands. It feels like a different world, a little trapped in the past, and I could strongly feel the presence of cultures that are long gone. Of course, you may fall for La Palma or El Hierro – but my heart belongs to La Gomera.

La Gomera has plenty of walks, lots located along the coast. The good thing is that the beaches you discover will blow your mind. The bad thing is you usually have to go back the same way you came.

In the center of the island lies Garajonay National Park with the highest point of the island, Garajonay (1487m). There is also a long distance walk, GR 132, that I was lucky enough to hike. It was one of the best hikes I’ve done so far.

La Gomera, my love

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura, together with Lanzarote, are considered to be the “desert” islands, and for good reason. They’re much closer to the African coast than other islands and they really look like deserts, though Fuerteventura is less sandy than Lanzarote.

Fuerteventura is a very long island which makes it a good opportunity for those who want to get out for more than a few days. The GR131 which goes from the north to the south, has a length of 160 km making it the longest trail of the Canary Islands.

Apart from GR131, the hikes are not well marked so a hiking guide and a map are strongly recommended.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smaller sister of Fuerteventura. It’s easily accessible by plane and well known for its vineyards on dark volcanic sand. It’s quite flat and it gives you a good idea of what Northern Africa must be like.

There aren’t that many hikes and for me it’s the least attractive island of the Canaries. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth to go hiking there.

If you decide to give the island a try, be sure to take few buckets of sunscreen factor two thousands or more.

To sum up, I think Tenerife or Gran Canaria are good places to start. La Palma and La Gomera let you dive in more into the Canary hiking culture and once you pass that, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and El Hierro are beautiful cherries on top of the Canary cake.

It’s not possible to say what hiking trails of the Canary Islands are the best. They’re all beautiful and what one person considers to be the best, someone else will forget as an ordinary hiking experience. I’d recommend you to:

1) Choose the island. The descriptions above should give you a basic understanding of what each island is like. It depends on how remote you want to be and what kind of landscape you’re after.

2) Get one of the hiking guides linked below. (Not keen on spending? Check a local library or some of my hiking reports from the Canary Islands.)

3) Go through the guide or my reports, there are lots of pictures and difficulty ratings, that should definitely guide you to choose the right hike for you.

Most of trails in Tenerife are pretty well marked

When it comes to choosing the right hiking guide about the Canary Islands, I really enjoy Cicerone and Rother hiking guides. They’re not perfect but they’re the best on the market and their prices are reasonable.

I personally prefer Ciceron hiking guides as they cover all the islands in English and I just like the style and design that they use. Also, the author of the guides (Paddy Dillon) is a legend and I’m happy to support him in what he’s doing.

So far, these Canary Islands hiking guides are available:

Tenerife hiking guides

Rother: Tenerife: The Finest Valley and Mountain Walks
Cicerone: Walking on Tenerife: 45 walks including El Teide and GR131

Gran Canaria hiking guides

Rother: Gran Canaria: The Finest Coastal and Mountain Walks
Cicerone: Walking on Gran Canaria: 45 day walks including five days on the GR131 coast-to-coast route

La Palma hiking guides

Rother: La Palma: The Finest Coastal and Mountain Walks
Cicerone: Walking on La Palma: 45 day walks and long distance trails including the GR130 and GR131

La Gomera hiking guides

Rother: Gomera: The Finest Valley and Mountain Walks
Cicerone: Walking on La Gomera and El Hierro

El Hierro hiking guides

Cicerone: Walking on La Gomera and El Hierro

Fuerteventura hiking guides

Cicerone: Walking on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura: 45 walks including on Isla La Graciosa

Lanzarote hiking guides

Cicerone: Walking on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura: 45 walks including on Isla La Graciosa

When it comes to accommodation, I recommend Airbnb over booking. com as it provides more a local and intimate type of accommodation. If you’re into camping, Tenerife has a good selection of free public campsites – see my article on hiking in Tenerife.

Now, that should be it. Choose your island, choose the trails you’re interested in, book your accommodation, put your hiking boots on and just go. Respect local communities during your hike, take only pictures and memories and leave nothing but footprints.

Once you finish, tell me how it was. Life is good. Hiking is good. Buen Camino!

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Agaete

Citrus and mango orchards near Agaete

Welcome to the Canary Islands! This picturesque archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean consists of seven islands offering an abundance of nature reserves, golf courses, water sports, archaeological sites, volcanoes, and gorgeous beaches. Though it’s located off the west coast of Morocco, the group of islands actually belong to Spain. Your trip begins on Gran Canaria Island, where you’ll meet your guide at the airport and transfer to your accommodation in Agaete.

In the afternoon, there will be a welcome meeting where you can ask questions and receive all the information you need for your upcoming adventure.

After the meeting, take the rest of the day to enjoy the afternoon and evening on your own. Agaete is surrounded by beautiful orchards, mountains, and sea, so perhaps take a scenic walk before dinner..

Day 2: Explore Gran Canaria Island’s North Coast

Church of San Juan Bautista in Arucas

Today, after breakfast at your hotel, you’ll embark on a full-day tour of Gran Canaria Island’s north coast starting with the valley surrounding Agaete. Due to the island’s unique microclimate, the valley is ideal for growing coffee beans, tropical fruits, and grapes for wine-making. Over the course of the day, you’ll visit a working coffee plantation and participate in a tasting. You’ll also experience an organic orange plantation and have lunch in a traditional tapas bar.

In the afternoon, the tour continues with visits to two beautiful and historic towns: Arucas and Galdar. While in the area, you’ll visit La Cueva Pintada, an archaeological museum, and Santa Maria de Guia, a village known for its cheese production. Look for the special queso de flor (cheese flower), made with thistle.

Day 3: Explore Gran Canaria Island’s Highest Altitudes

Lava landscapes in the island’s interior

Today, after breakfast, you’ll spend the day exploring another area of Gran Canaria—this time the mountainous central interior of the island.

Start the day with visits to two of the highest and oldest villages on the island: Tejeda and Artenara. From here, you’ll walk for about an hour through the forest of Tamadaba as you follow the local irrigation system. Then walk another hour to reach Roque Nublo, the emblematic rock on the very top of the island for extraordinary views in all directions. Somewhere along the way, you’ll have a picnic lunch prepared with local products grown on the archipelago.

Return to Agaete after the tour where you’ll have free time to explore more of the village in the evening.

Day 4: Ferry to Fuerteventura Island – Transfer to Puerto del Rosario

Barlovento beach on the south coast

In the morning, you’ll board a ferry and make your way to the town of Morro Jable on the south coast of Fuerteventura Island. The trip takes about two hours. Once you arrive, you’ll have time to explore the wildest part of the island (the south) with huge waves, sandy beaches, and strong currents surrounded by the Jandia mountain range for a truly extraordinary experience filled with lots of contrasts. After lunch in the area, you’ll visit the lighthouse of Jandia and Cofete Beach, both of which are reached by traveling along uncrowded dirt roads.

Later in the afternoon, you’ll continue exploring the island by taking the road to Pajara with its iconic orange-hued mountains, followed by a drive to Puerto del Rosario where you’ll stay the night. The capital of Fuerteventura is known for its whitewashed houses and outdoor artwork including large sculptures found along the harbor promenade.

Day 5: Visit Betancuria – Ferry to Lanzarote Island – Transfer to Arrecife

Betancuria’s charming village

Today’s exciting itinerary begins with some light exercise where you’ll take an hour-long walk through the Barranco de La Peña, a geological highlight in the Canary Islands and home to some of the interesting and unique trails in the archipelago.

From here, you’ll get a chance to visit Betancuria, the charming old capital of the island, which takes its name from one of its own conquerors, Jean de Betancourt. Betancuria is a tiny village but it is filled with history and has one of the most beautiful valleys on the island.

After lunch, you’ll head north to the natural park of the Dunes of Corralejo where you can experience a sandy desert smack dab to the bright turquoise ocean water—a great spot to relax and take photographs.

At the end of the day, you’ll travel by ferry (30 minutes) to reach Lanzarote Island. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Arrecife, the capital of the island. Check out the city’s Mediterranean-style promenade, sandy beach, and a slew of unpretentious bars, restaurants, and shops.

Day 6: Explore Lanzarote Island’s Volcanoes & Vineyards

A vineyard built on lava

Today, you’ll get to experience the National Park of Timanfaya. Falling somewhere between what can only be described as lunar and martian, this otherworldly place will introduce you to landscapes you’ve likely never laid eyes on before.

Next is a visit to El Cuervo Volcano, a national park offering geothermic demonstrations. While here, you’ll join an incredible bus ride around the epicenter of the volcano and hear about its historic eruptions. The surrounding vineyards of Lanzarote are also a unique landscape of the island where you can witness life coming back from the ashes in the form of grapes. While visiting a vineyard, you’ll have the opportunity to taste some local wine as well as dine on lunch at a nearby restaurant.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to Arrecife where you’ll have free time in the evening.

Day 7: Explore Lanzarote Island’s North Coast

Caleta de Famara, Lanzarote Canary Islands

Today begins with a bit of local culture—more specifically, you’ll visit the César Manrique Foundation. This is where the local artist and architect of the same name lived for 20 years from 1968 to 1988 (the longest he ever lived in a single place). Interestingly enough, the lower half of the house was built around five natural volcanic bubbles connected by tunnels excavated in the lava. Certain areas of the house, like the swimming pool and barbeque, are surrounded by abundant plant life and a fine-grained volcanic rock called basalt. During the visit, you’ll have time to tour the house where you can see Cesar’s paintings, plans, and sketches displayed throughout to give you a good idea of his lifetime work. You will also see Cesar’s personal collection including originals by Picasso and Miro.

Brief history

The Canary Islands have a very rich history. The first settlements here were founded by the primitive tribes of the Guanches and Bimbache. In ancient times, they were visited by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians, but no cities were built here.

The first French navigators visited the islands in 1334, which after 10 years were donated to Castile (this is a historical region of Spain). At the beginning of the 13th century, colonization and displacement of local tribes began. It took only 2 years and in 1404 King Henry III of Castile proclaims Jean de Betancourt king of the Canaries. But for almost a century there were wars with the Guache tribes on the island of Tenerife. Only on September 29, 1496, Alonso de Lugo announced the complete subjugation of the Canary Islands.

During his first journey in search of India, Christopher Columbus makes a stop on the island of Homer. Later, the archipelago becomes the most important point on the way from Europe to America. Because of this, heated disputes flare up, which lead to clashes. Attempts to capture the islands were made by the Dutch and the British. They did not escape the raids of pirates. But Spain came out of all conflicts with honor and left the archipelago behind.

In 1982, the Canary Islands become an autonomous region of Spain, and all its inhabitants are full subjects of the Spanish crown.

What you need to know about holidays in the Canary Islands?

The Canaries are an archipelago of volcanic islands located in the Atlantic Ocean. The history of the Canary Islands is very interesting and rich. It was here that Columbus made his last stop before the discovery of America. Homer’s Island became a window from Europe to the New World, and the Canary Islands became widely known. Many states of the century fought for the archipelago, but the Canaries continue to remain under the control of Spain.

Climate and weather in the Canary Islands

One of the main assets of the Canary Islands is its unique climate, moderately hot and dry. The water temperature during the year does not fall below 20 ° C, and most days the sun shines. The Canary Islands are often referred to as the islands of eternal spring because of the wonderful weather.

This is a great alternative to vacations in neighboring African countries during the winter. The archipelago is great for beach holidays and holidays with children. Fans of outdoor activities will not be bored either: diving, surfing, sea fishing, paragliding in tandem and other sports are very developed in the Canaries.

The yachting infrastructure is improving every year, a large number of marinas with related services and yacht clubs. Many northern European ships come to the Canary Islands for a warm winter.

Warm sea, unique beaches, beautiful bays – the Canary Islands are an ideal place for sailing from November to March. As part of a weekly yachting it is possible to visit Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma or Gran Canaria. If you want to see all the islands, then such a trip will take from two weeks.

Canary Islands visa

The Canary Islands legally belong to Spain, which means that EU rules apply on their territory and a Schengen visa is required to enter.

Leisure and entertainment

The main source of prosperity of the Canary Islands is the tourism business, so the choice of all kinds of entertainment here is simply colossal. The main holiday destinations on the islands are numerous beaches. Most of them are marked with the Blue Flag of the European Union, which indicates a high level of service and cleanliness. In addition, breakwaters are installed on most beaches for safe swimming. In general, the islands have both equipped beaches and wild, and even nudist ones. There are a lot of ways to have fun on the beaches: all kinds of water sports, fishing in the open ocean, windsurfing, yachting, sea excursions and parachuting. In addition, the Canary Islands are ready to offer jeep safari, go-karting, rock climbing, hiking along numerous tourist routes, cycling and horseback riding. Also here you can always play on the tennis courts, practice shooting at moving targets, visit the magnificent golf courses, and also watch cockfights.

The Canary Islands offer almost any type of leisure activity: nightlife is in full swing here, and entertainment venues and amusement parks are in full swing during the day. And the islands can also boast of their numerous restaurants, elite country clubs, zoos, sports facilities, gyms and health centers.

There are a lot of holidays, festivals and carnivals in the Canary Islands: they are celebrated literally every week. First of all, these are religious holidays, which are celebrated here with special joy and unprecedented scope (Theophany, St. Joseph’s Day, All Saints’ Day, Good Friday in Passion Week, Corpus Christi, Immaculate Conception, etc.). In addition, each island holds its own original fiestas and festivals.

Holidays with children

Little travelers will be delighted with the local wildlife, whose representatives you can look at, listen to, and sometimes even touch. But the Canary Islands are not suitable for a beach holiday with children. However, if you choose the most equipped and popular beaches (the south of Tenerife or Gran Canaria, where there are more breakwaters), be careful when playing at the edge of the ocean or generally keep a respectful distance from it, the holidays will be successful.
There are many more beaches (albeit with black sand, which, by the way, heats up more), the children will be interested in local amusement parks with attractions and water slides. There are several parks at once in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. On the first one – “Aqualand”, “Siam Park” and “Loro Park” with tigers and dolphins, on the second – Ocean Fun Park, Holiday Land and others. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote also have a water park.

Diving in the Canary Islands

Fuerteventura

This island, the second largest in the archipelago, is popular with families. There are few restaurants, noisy discos, but many first-class beaches with fine white sand, relatively inexpensive hotels and shops. The island is considered a paradise for windsurfers due to the steady wind that blows constantly here. Among the attractions of the island, it is worth noting the Baku water park, the Oasis Park zoo, the ancient capital of the island, Betancuria, the mysterious Winter Villa, formerly owned by the Nazis, under which deep grottoes were allegedly dug, connected with underwater caves, where German submarines entered during the war. So the island is quite suitable for those who want to take a break from the bustle of Tenerife and Palma. In total, according to statistics, it is visited by about 800 thousand people annually.

When to go

Tenerife is nicknamed the island of eternal spring because of the consistently warm weather without extreme pluses and minuses, which has been here for 12 months. The same definition applies to other islands of the archipelago. The unique climate of the Canaries is formed by several factors: close Africa gives dry heat, the trade winds slightly dispel and moisten it, ocean currents relieve the rainy seasons.

You can come here for vacation all year round. Well, except that from November to May it will be a little colder on land, and you can’t swim in the ocean, but showers and cold weather are not expected. If you need a real summer, a ticket should be taken from June to October.

The south of the archipelago (Gran Canaria, Hierro, southern Tenerife) is always warmer than the north. Here and in the east it is drier. Humid in the north and west.

Gran Canaria

This densely populated island is the third largest in the archipelago. It is believed that there are ideal climatic conditions, there are no large temperature jumps. In winter it is about 20 degrees, and in summer 25-30 degrees above zero. Gran Canaria is called a mini continent due to the variety of climatic zones and natural landscapes. A hiker in just one day can visit the snow-capped mountain peaks, tropical rainforests and the desert.

Famous historical sights include the Canaries Cathedral, the construction of which began in 1497. Columbus Museum in the house where the famous navigator is believed to have stopped before crossing the Atlantic. In the Canario Museum you can get acquainted with the history of the island from ancient times to our time.

Golf enthusiasts can play this popular game at one of the eight golf clubs scattered around the island. In Mogan Bay, thrill-seekers are offered an unforgettable submarine dive experience.

Excursion rest

“Excursion” in the archipelago is filled mainly due to the wealth of local nature. All the most delicious and different – of course, in Tenerife. Here is the Teide volcano in the reserve of the same name with an observatory, and parks of eagles, parrots and monkeys, and laurel forests, which may have seen more dinosaurs. There are historical buildings on the “main Canarian”: the mysterious pyramids of Guimar, San Miguel Castle, the Candelaria Basilica and others.

Gran Canaria is ready to boast the Columbus House Museum, Crocodile Park, the caldera of an ancient volcano, its own mini-desert, karting and flying clubs. In Fuerteventura, you can stroll through the cactus garden or the Camel Oasis, see huge herds of goats (they are recognized as the symbol of the island) and real mills, as well as another Canarian mini-desert.

Lanzarote is considered a continuous reserve of volcanoes with lava fields, extinct calderas, volcanic caves. One of them is a real concert hall.

Shopping

Shopping in the Canary Islands is more attractive than in mainland Spain: prices are much lower here.

Where to buy? Shops and shopping centers – El Corte Ingles, Carrefour, Tenerife Pearl – will offer discounts up to 70% during seasonal sales (from January 7 to the end of February and from July 1 to the end of August)!

They usually work from 9:00 to 21:00, with a mandatory siesta break. Handicrafts can be purchased at fairs, and sometimes you can find really interesting things at flea markets.

Hierro

Hierro Island is the smallest of the inhabited islands of the Canaries, about 10 thousand people live here. It attracts tourists primarily with good beaches, of which there are about a dozen. After all, the rest of the islands of the archipelago have rocky and steep shores, so lovers of sunbathing and swimming come here. The most famous beach in Tamaduste bay. Popular places are the relict forest of La Deesa, where the unique sabina tree grows. It does not grow anywhere else in nature. Wine lovers can visit the vineyards of El Golfo, where they will be introduced to the process of making wine, and will also be given the opportunity to buy the best products.

Catering

Hotels in Tenerife use all food concepts, from breakfast only to all inclusive. If you are going to eat at the hotel, ask about the availability of a children’s or diet menu – this is a common service.

Still, most tourists prefer to dine in restaurants outside the hotels. In Tenerife, you can find cuisine for every taste, of course, both Spanish and local Canarian.

Among other things be sure to offer your child Canarian potatoes . A simple potato in a uniform, which was once boiled in sea water, and now – just in very salty, is covered with salt crystals and therefore acquires an inexpressible charm in the eyes of children. There are supermarkets and hypermarkets in all popular resorts. The Spanish chain Mercadona and SuperDino/HiperDino stores, which are found only in the Canary Islands, are mainly represented. The Russian supermarket “Kalinka” operates in Las Americas.

Fresh vegetables and fruits, fish, cheeses can be bought at farmers’ markets. They work once or twice a week: in Costa Adeja – on Thursdays and Saturdays, in Los Cristianos – on Sundays.

The best fish market on the south coast is located in Los Cristianos. A food market opens in Puerto de la Cruz on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Active holidays

The Canary Islands are much more popular among active vacationers than among classic beachgoers. It’s all about the winds and the rather violent temper of the Atlantic Ocean, which gives a magical wave. Thanks to this, surfers in these places are not transferred all year round: schools work for them, organize surfing tours, and hold competitions. Beginners try not to move away from the beaches of Las Americas. But experienced surfers in search of big and difficult waves go to the northern parts of the large islands, as well as to Lanzarote, Hierro and La Palma.

The best season for boarding is October-February. The diving season lasts all year.

Yachting enthusiasts also go to the archipelago. Boat trips along large and small islands, colorful beaches, volcanoes can last a week – there are plenty of picturesque places here. No less beautiful is the underwater world of the Canary Islands. Divers are looking for meetings with turtles and whales in the Hierro Marine Reserve, sunken ships off the coast of Gran Canaria, underwater arches and tunnels in the Fuerteventura region, and almost all of this together off Tenerife.

Active holidays in the Canary Islands

Beach holidays

Beaches in the Canary Islands can be chosen not only by the degree of privacy, convenience for sports or type of surface (regular sand, volcanic sand, stone). You can choose by color! Do you like white and light yellow? Onward to Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria. Do you like noble “gold” or total black? Tenerife has both.

Zones with black and golden sand are located in Tenerife near the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. There are two more black sand beaches in Puerto de la Cruz: Playa de Martianes is wilder and more picturesque, waves interfere with swimming here, Playa de Jardin with pebbly areas is surrounded by green gardens and is famous for its excellent infrastructure.

Tourists rightly prefer the south of Tenerife: here are all the amenities, entertainment and protection from the waves.

The beaches of Fuerteventura – Cofete, Playa Blanca and others are beautiful, but windy, so they are loved by surfers. Black sand in Fuerteventura on Gran Tarajal beach, the most beautiful landscapes are on Corralejo.

The best beaches of Gran Canaria are in the south: soft sand, minimum waves, but there is a light breeze. They go to the north of the island in search of picturesque bays and surfing. In Lanzarote with children, it is recommended to relax on the beach of the town of Playa Blanca, and look for fantastic places for photos in the north, in Papagayo Bay.

The beaches of the Canaries are free for nudists.

Tenerife: Season for rest
Where to go to Tenerife
- Plai-de-American
- Los-Christian
- Plai-Paiso 9015- Medano

Many people, going on vacation, would like to feel a truly heavenly pleasure at least once, completely escape from everything and enjoy the beauty around. All this and even more can give the Canary Islands. They are located near the coast of Africa and represent an array of 13 islands, most of which are ready to welcome tourists all year round.

Basically, people go to rest on the largest islands of the entire array, namely: Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria), Tenerife (Tenerife), Fuerteventura (Fuerteventura), La Gomera (La Gomera), Hierro (El Hierro).

Interesting. The Canary Islands are part of Spain and originated from volcanic eruptions, there are still many active volcanoes around them that give rise to indescribable beauty. So, how do you decide which island to take tours to? To do this is quite simple.

The most popular and varied are two and tourists usually have to choose from them – Tenerife or Gran Canaria. Therefore, sometimes the question arises: Gran Canaria or Tenerife – which is better? The best place to spend time for an ordinary tourist will be the island of Tenerife, as it has a greater number of various kinds of entertainment, bars, restaurants, shops, etc. A non-stop flight is also a weighty argument. Unlike other islands, the resort of Tenerife can boast of this.

Tenerife: holiday season

When a person has decided on a place of rest, another question arises before him: when to go to Tenerife? Which season to choose in Tenerife for a trip? It is not so important, you can choose any month: be it June, July or the end of May, you can relax and unwind on the island at any time of the year. And all due to the fact that the Canarian climate is very mild, there is almost no such thing as seasonality and seasonal holidays.

Sunlight illuminates the islands with its rays almost all year round, the temperature almost always fluctuates around 20 degrees. The possibility of meeting rain is very small, and the water temperature does not drop below 17-18 degrees even in winter. It is not very hot and not cold here, all this contributed to the formation of rich flora and fauna. There are many nature reserves on the islands, rare species of animals and other living organisms live.

Please note! To catch the high season, it is better to go here at the very end of summer, that is, in August. Or at the beginning of autumn (September), in order to fully enjoy this holiday.

Tenerife is good all year round

People who choose tours often face the question: Tenerife or Mallorca – where is better? Madeira or Tenerife? Here, again, Tenerife wins. It is larger in itself, it is washed by the ocean, there are more entertainments here, both for a family with a child and for single people. Madeira can bribe tourists who want to get a therapeutic holiday. There is no direct access to the sea. Although each of these islands has a beach or recumbent type of holiday, it will still be more intense in Tenerife.

Another weighty argument in favor of this island is the level of development of the hotel sector, here they are for every taste and all with a good level of service. Majorca (Mallorca), as it is usually called, or as it is correct Mallorca, is a more expensive place, while having less entertainment.

Beach with volcanic sand

Having fully decided on the place of rest, the tourist needs to know where it is better to relax in Tenerife. On the island itself there are many beautiful picturesque beaches, here you have a choice between the southern and northern coasts. The first has a chic climate, the second delights due to its vegetation. Speaking of beaches, in addition to the usual sand, you can observe dark volcanic sand. This is rare to find anywhere, and combined with the stunning expanse of the ocean, this forms an simply incredible effect.

Please note! Due to the fact that tourists rest on the island almost all year round, there is always a queue for hotel rooms. Therefore, it is better to buy a tour in advance.

Tenerife is famous all over the world for its club parties, which will undoubtedly be a plus for people who crave a rich nightlife. During the day – the ocean, at night – parties. Every year, dozens of festivals are held on the island, with a variety of directions, everyone can find something for themselves here.

A little away from the magnificent beaches of Tenerife and going closer to the center of the island, you can see incredible landscapes, similar in appearance to the surface of some distant planets due to volcanoes.

Interesting. Mountains, craters, an abundance of vegetation and animals – all this is on one small island. Few people can remain indifferent to this place. Also, a significant part, in addition to beaches and beautiful nature, is occupied by resort areas, there are several of them on the island.

Where to go in Tenerife

Where is it better to relax in Greece in August

Leaving Tenerife and wondering where it is better to go, you will have to choose from several resorts available on the island.

Playa de Las Americas

One of them is Playa de Las Americas, that is, the beach of America, surrounded by mountains. This place is considered one of the most popular among tourists. It is not so often to meet Russian-speaking people here. This place is completely touristic, the locals do not live here. But a tourist who wants to get everything from this vacation should definitely take a closer look at this part of the resort.

There is a great abundance of apartments, clubs, restaurants for absolutely every taste and budget. In the center of America’s Beach, club life is thriving at night, but lovers of a relaxing holiday can also find something for themselves in Playa de Las Americas. The western part of the resort area is just right for such people. There are dozens of different kinds of entertainment in this place, which cannot even be counted. From relaxing spa treatments to ATV rides around the area to ballet and all types of water activities such as water parks, boat trips, etc.

Playa de Las Americas

Los Cristianos

The next resort area adjacent to American Beach is Los Cristianos, located at the foot of the Montaña de Guas volcano. This resort is already noticeably different from the previous one, mainly pensioners from Europe rest here. This is a quiet and peaceful place for a leisurely pastime.

This place will be ideal for lovers of exclusively beach holidays, there are very few tourist attractions, and in terms of the rhythm of life, Los Cristianos resembles a small village. Young people are likely to get bored in this place, but if you wish, you can easily get to Playa de Las Americas from here, where various entertainments are fully represented. This is the place where it is better to relax in Tenerife in October or early autumn. In order to get from the usual cold autumn routine into a fairy tale.

Los Cristianos

Playa Paraiso

Playa Paraiso or Paradise Beach is a tiny place, even more peaceful than Los Cristianos. But here there are only rocky beaches, which are not at all conducive to a beach holiday. Swimming in the ocean will no longer be such a pleasant process. For the usual soft and warming sand, you will have to go somewhere. If you rent a car and move around the island yourself, the presence of rocky beaches will not play a big role.

Playa Paraiso

10 places worth visiting – MainSail.Ru

In fact, the Canary Islands are not very popular among Russian yachtsmen. In any case, not as popular as the waters of Turkey, Greece and Croatia. It’s a long way to fly there, in addition, you need to get a visa.

AT 9In the 0s, the word of Canary became almost a household word, causing rather negative emotions. At the same time, this is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and you should definitely visit it at least once. And it’s best to do it on a yacht.

It is clear that the ten main attractions are nothing more than a convention. Fantastically beautiful places there, literally, at every step. And certainly, in order to truly appreciate all the delights of the Canary Islands, you need to spend there not one week, but at least a month. Dreaming is not bad. Therefore, I will limit myself to only those places that are really visited within 2 weeks. But, unfortunately, not all of these points are on the coast. Therefore, for me personally, for example, sailing in the Canary Islands is a big compromise: on the one hand, I want to spend more time in the ocean, on the other hand, it’s hard not to ride on land.

So, the Canary Islands, or “Islands of Eternal Spring” as they are commonly called, are located in the Atlantic Ocean 62 miles off the west coast of Africa. These are 7 large islands – Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanserote, Gomera, Palma, Hierro and 6 small ones – Graciosa, Alegranza, Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste and Roque del Este.

Navigation in the area of the islands is quite difficult. In any case, if we compare these waters with the waters of the Mediterranean that are familiar to many. Firstly, the islands here are at a sufficient distance from each other – an average of 50-60 miles (only between Tenerife and Gomera, the distance is 20 miles). Therefore, to visit several islands, as a rule, one week is not enough (if you plan only day trips). The shores of the islands are steep and precipitous, the depth already 100 meters from the coast can reach 2 km. Anchorage spots can be counted on fingers. There are also few marines, and they are located at a sufficient distance from each other. In addition, the marinas themselves are small, cramped (except for the marinas of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz), there may not be places for guest boats. Or, for example, free seats can only be near the wall, which is not very convenient in tide conditions.

The Canary Islands are, among other things, a tidal zone. Of course, everything is much simpler here than in the Channel: there are no tidal currents and the level difference in the syzygy is only about 2 m. But even such relatively “simple” tidal conditions can cause a lot of trouble. The prevailing winds are northeasterly. The wave comes from the Atlantic, so there is a wind shadow on the eastern side of the islands. Each island has several wind acceleration zones (Acceleration zones), where the winds increase by 10-15 knots. These are, as a rule, the northern and southern ends of the islands.

In addition, the Canary Islands are also characterized by short sudden storms. I call them afternoon storms. This is when everything is calm in the morning, and somewhere by three o’clock in some zone it inflates to 40-45 knots. By evening, the wind subsides, and the next day everything repeats again, and so on for several days. In some places, you can get into the zone of quite noticeable currents that are not marked on the maps in any way. And between Homera and Tenerife, wind and waves coming from different directions make the sea sometimes extremely unpleasant. But even in calm weather, there is always a wave here – a swell 3-4 meters high, which is not very noticeable on the surface due to the large wavelength, crashes ashore with powerful surf.

The locals are open and friendly. Just don’t call them Spaniards. Any indigenous inhabitant of the islands will be offended, and if you call him that, he will proudly answer: “We are Canarians.” It is clear that all this does not apply to large tourist areas such as Los Cristianos, Las Americas or Playa del Ingles – people from many countries work here for tourists, and meeting the natives is no longer so easy.

Pico del Teide ( 28°16’1.38″N, 16°38’27.74″W).

Tenerife is the largest island in the archipelago and the most diverse in terms of landscapes and vegetation. Tenerife owes its diversity to the Teide volcano, its height is 3717 m, it is the largest mountain in Spain. You can get from the sea to the foot of the upper part of the volcano by car in about 2 hours. If you don’t stop anywhere along the way, which is absolutely impossible. Therefore, it is good to take the whole day for a trip to Teide. The road uphill is interesting not only for breathtaking views, but also for its pronounced altitudinal zonality. As you go up, the vegetation will also change. Somewhere at the level of the clouds, you will find yourself in coniferous forests enchanting with their bright greenery (this is a relic Canary pine), above you will begin a belt where nothing grows except succulents, and even higher begins a lunar landscape of multi-colored Teide lava fields. You can drive to the foot of the volcano at an altitude of 2500 m, and further up the mountain you can climb the cable car. And from above you will have a stunning view of the ancient crater of the volcano.

Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife ( 28°27’46.43″N, 16°15’7.41″W)

Capital of Tenerife. A beautiful cozy city on the northeast coast of the country. Quiet green streets, Art Deco houses and rich history. The routes of many famous expeditions passed through Santa Cruz; in the battle of Santa Cruz, Admiral Nelson himself was defeated. It was in this battle that he lost his arm. Santa Cruz is also the cultural capital of the islands. Every week, concerts of visiting celebrities are held in the snow-white building of the musical tatra. Every February, the city hosts a carnival. Port of Santa Cruz is relatively small, here you can see a couple of large ocean cruisers every day. To the north of the city is the best beach on the island – Las Teresitas. This is 1.5 km of golden sand brought from the Sahara.

Candelaria ( 28°21’10.74″N, 16°22’12.69″W).

This is a small quiet town located south of Santa Cruz. The main page of the history of the islands is connected with Candelaria. As you know, the islands were inhabited by Guanches. Even before the arrival of the Spaniards on the islands, the local population worshiped the so-called Black Madonna, which the sea threw ashore in this place. Most likely, it was a wooden figurehead of some kind of shipwrecked ship. The Guanches worshiped the Black Madonna, she was kept in a cave, next to the shore. And when the Spaniards landed on the islands, it was not difficult for them to convert the locals to Christianity. Later, at 19In the −th century, the Black Madonna was swept out to sea by a large wave. The new statue of the Madonna, made by the Canarian sculptor Fernando Esteves, stands in the church on the central square of the city and is the patroness of Tenerife, thousands of pilgrims come to see her every year.

Los Gigantes

The west coast of Tenerife is steep and impregnable from the sea. The height of the sheer cliffs going into the sea reaches 500 m. These vertical basalt walls go deep into the sea by the same amount. Near the rocks is a small marina Los Gigantes. Entrance to the marina ( 28°14’54.09″N, 16°50’31.59″W) is located in close proximity to the surf zone. And even in relatively calm weather, the surf is very noticeable inside the marina, adding stress to the mooring lines. From Los Gigantes it is easy to get to Gomera. Dolphins and whales are often found in the strait between these islands – they are specially fed in order to bring tourists here later.

Arenas Negras (Black Sands) (28°19’54.50”N, 16°45’51.38”W)

This is another unusual place in Tenerife. I call this place “anti-Finland”. Green pine trees, small wooden houses, but instead of white snow, black volcanic sand. The “Black Sands” are located near the small volcano Garachico.

Puerto-de-Mogan (27°49’1.04”N, 15°45’55.35”W )

Convenient port when crossing from the south of Tenerife or from Gomera. The small town, once a simple fishing village, is now one of the quietest tourist destinations on the islands. The port of Mogan itself (emphasis on the second syllable) is a marina, the small streets of the town are intersected by canals. The white walls of the houses are covered with flowers. A picturesque place where for some reason you immediately want to settle forever. There is a small sandy beach to the east of the port. A place popular mainly among German tourists.

Maspalomas. ( 27°44’24.01″N, 15°34’28.77″W)

The south coast of Gran Canaria is unlike any other coast on any other island. Six square kilometers of yellow sand dunes have been brought here by the winds from the African coast over the years. These are real big moving dunes. By the middle of the day, they are slightly trampled by tourists, but if you come here at least by eight in the morning, you will hardly find any traces.

The only drawback of this place is that you can’t swim in the sea here – big surf and sharp big stones are in abundance right next to the shore. The beach area to the east of the dunes is suitable for swimming. The closest marina to Maspalomas is at Pasito Blanco five miles west of the dunes ( 27°57’42.88″N, 15°34’19.52″W)

Las Palmas ( 28° 8’20.22″N, 15°25’56.28″W)

Capital of the islands and Gran Canaria. This is a very comfortable city. Everything is here: a large port, a huge marina, a real city with tall buildings and the rhythm inherent in a big city. Las Palmas is located on a narrow isthmus, so the port is located on the east side, and a magnificent beach on the west side. The beach has a natural barrier from the ocean in the form of a long reef, so the water here is always warmer than on other beaches of the island. Every year in November, the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers starts from Las Palmas.

Pico de las Nieves ( 27°57’42.88″N 15°34’19.52″W)

This is the highest point of Gran Canaria – 1949 m. The locals say that you need to spend the night here at least once and meet the dawn . But if this is not possible, then you should definitely visit here at any other time of the day. The mesmerizing view of the Teide, towering above the clouds, you are unlikely to ever forget. And climbing this mountain is replete with beautiful landscapes and picturesque settlements.

It is better to go to the mountain from Las Palmas or Maspalomas.

American Star ( 28°20’46.32″N, 14°10’48.56″W)

In my opinion, this is one of the main attractions of Fueteventura. The wrecked ship has been lying on the shore since 1994. It was built in 1936 and for many years went on the lines between different countries. In 1994, the ship was towed to Thailand, where it was planned to turn it into a floating hotel, and during a storm off the coast of Furteventura ran aground. During the years spent aground, the ship broke in two, the back part sank. Getting to the place where the American Star lies is not easy. There is no road there, so you have to go off-road. Therefore, any damage to the car received during such a trip will not be covered by insurance (for rental cars).

San Sebastian ( 28° 5’17.44″N 17° 6’29.11″W)

San Sebastian Bay is one of the most beautiful natural bays on the islands. In clear weather, you can see the top of the Teide from here. The city is built up with modern houses, but some of the old Spanish architecture has been preserved. Columbus’s house is located at Calle del Medio, house 56. It was from San Sebastian in September 1492 that three ships of Columbus first set off for the shores of America. It is not superfluous to ride around the island by car or by bus. Gomera is a very green island, with rich and varied vegetation. Specially designed routes are prepared here for tourists who love hiking.

Holidays in the Canary Islands | Pump Tour

The Canary Islands is a picturesque archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, the land of eternal summer with an ideal climate, emerald valleys, bizarre cliffs and sandy beaches. Officially, the Canaries is an autonomous province of Spain, consisting of 7 large islands (El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura) and several small ones. The title of the capital of the archipelago is passed to each other by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria every 4 years.

Despite the fact that formally the Canary Islands belong to Spain, the atmosphere here is by no means &€o;pean. Tourists come here for real exotic: magnificent tropical landscapes, soft ocean waves, black volcanic beaches and delicious ripe fruits. Fortunately, this exotic is close and accessible: it takes only a few hours to fly to the islands, excluding transfers. In the Canary Islands, you can not only idly relax on the beach: unique prehistoric monuments, volcanoes, waterfalls, “lunar” valleys of solidified lava are scattered all over the islands. And here is excellent service and a real paradise for surfers and divers.

The only way to get to the Canary Islands from Russia is by air. It is most convenient to fly to Tenerife South Airport, but this is far from the only option. There are several other international airports on the territory of the archipelago. One of them is located on the island of Gran Canaria, 20 km from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. There are no direct flights from Moscow, but there are connecting flights: Aeroflot, S7, Brussels Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, Air Berlin, Jet Airways, Smart Wings, Vueling, Edelweiss. Transfers are carried out in Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, Prague, Munich and other cities. The cheapest tickets are from S7: from €155 one way. The fastest flights are with Iberia: 10 hours 5 minutes with a change in Madrid (€655 one way). Prices on the page are for June 2016

There is another Canarian airport on the island of Lanzarote. There are no direct flights from Moscow either; connecting flights are offered by Iberia, S7, Aeroflot, Vueling, British Airways, Air €opa and other carriers. The cost of tickets is from 420 € round-trip, the duration of the flight is from 8 hours 30 minutes.

International flights are also accepted on the island of Fuerteventura, not far from Puerto del Rosario. Connecting flights are available from S7, SunExpress, Vueling, Iberia, Air Berlin. The cheapest flight is the S7 (€185 one way), the fastest is the Iberia (8 hours 55 minutes with a change in Madrid, €655 one way).

Finally, Transavia, S7, Iberia and Air Berlin will be brought to Santa Cruz de Palma (La Palma). Ticket price – from 315 € one way, flight duration – from 10 hours 15 minutes.

The largest island of the Canary archipelago, Tenerife, can offer you a choice of quiet, secluded holidays, and noisy fun. For example, Los Cristianos, like neighboring Las Americas, is a “brisk” resort, visited mainly by the British and Germans, who are hungry for booze and discos. And Puerto de la Cruz, in turn, is well suited for a relaxing holiday “alone with nature.” Only here the coast there is steep and rocky, there are practically no beaches as such: tourists mostly splash in hotel pools.

Gran Canaria is good in every way. Those who like to relax in large tourist centers with many hotels and apartments, shops, restaurants, bars and attractions will certainly like it. But there are also small resorts on the island that specialize in water sports and are equipped with marinas. Here you can make excursions on the sea, windsurf, fish in the open ocean, skydive – in general, actively have fun. The real “pearl” of the island is the Dunes (Dunas de Maspalomas). It is practically “Sahara in miniature” with the purest golden sand and a well-maintained 5-kilometer beach.

The sandy beaches of Fuerteventura, many kilometers wide, African-style and mostly deserted, are the best and longest in the Canary archipelago.

Finally, Lanzarote is an island-reserve, but not of flora or fauna, but of volcanoes. “Lunar landscape” is the main exotic of this place. The island is perfect for a vacation that is not full of civilized entertainment.

Other islands and resorts of the Canary Islands – La Palma, Hierro and Gomera.

Most of the Canary Islands have modern highways. Urban public transport in Tenerife is represented by the TITSA bus route network. Trips are paid for by the driver, the cost of tickets depends on the length of the journey. Global buses run in Gran Canaria, tickets – from 1 €. Routes on Homer connect San Sebastian with other major cities on the island. Less often, buses run to Hierro.

A multiple entry ticket for €15-25, sold at Tenerife bus stations, offers up to 30% discount on bus trips.

A tram has recently run between the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and San Cristobal de la Laguna. The ticket price is 1.35 €, the schedule can be found on the carrier’s website (in English and Spanish). There are many metered taxis on the islands. Tariffs – from 2.35 € per landing and from 0.60 € per km.

Local taxi drivers rarely speak foreign languages, but they are well versed in the names of hotels and other tourist places, so just give the address and ask for a price.

The most convenient way to travel between the islands is by plane: local flights depart daily from Tenerife and Gran Canaria to all the islands of the archipelago, except Gomera. Ferries also operate here, carrying not only passengers, but also cars. Between Homera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, high-speed hydrofoils run regularly, tickets cost from 20 €.

You can easily rent a car of any brand in the Canary Islands. This is a great opportunity to see all the local beauty, moving along modern routes on the islands and on high-speed ferries between them. The traffic here is comfortable, traffic jams are rare. But with parking, problems can arise: do not be surprised to see a queue in front of the parking lot. It is most convenient to leave the car in underground parking lots (from 2 € per hour).

Many towns in the Canary Islands have an intricate system of one-way streets, so a map is indispensable.

You can rent a car both at airports and at any popular resort. Avis, Budget, €opcar, Hertz, La Palma 24 and many other well-known companies work here. The cost of renting a small car is from 25 €, a minivan is from 35 €, a premium car is from 52 € per day. Local car rental companies often offer reduced rates for rentals of three days or more. In some offices, you can book not only cars, but also bicycles, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds – a great option for those who appreciate the spirit of freedom on any journey.

A very economical option for international calls – Telefonica payphones installed on the streets of all cities. They accept small coins, the cost of calls to Russia is from 0.40 €. Surprisingly, it is a fact: from many local payphones you can not only make calls, but also send SMS and even a message to e-mail.

There are 4 major mobile operators in the Canary Islands: Vodafone, Orange, Telefonica Movistar and Lebara. Their tariffs are almost the same, as well as the quality of communication. For calls to Russia, you can purchase an Orange Tarjeta Internacional card for 5 €, which is designed for 30-50 minutes of a call. Telefonica Movistar offers a convenient Habla Internacional option: by connecting it for €1, you can call Russia for €0. 20 per minute.

Almost all hotels provide round-the-clock Internet access, but it usually costs a lot: about 5-7 € per hour. It is much easier to leave the room and walk to the reception: in the lobby, Wi-Fi is often free, as well as in many catering establishments.

The Atlantic coast of the Canary Islands is 1500 km of magnificent sandy beaches and steep rocky shores. The water in the ocean here is quite cool (the Gulf Stream flows from north to south), but its color is simply amazing: rich blue due to its great depth. The longest white beaches are on Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria. The coast of the western islands is more steep. Most of Tenerife’s beaches are covered with golden sand extracted from the bottom of the ocean or delivered from the Sahara.

A magnificent beach ensemble is located near the center of Santa Cruz de Tenerife: on Playa de Taganana – black volcanic sand, on Las Teresitas – more familiar, fine and golden. The real attraction of Puerto de la Cruz is “Playa de Martianes” with a huge lake of flowing sea water, beautiful fountains and numerous bars and restaurants built on small islands.

Most Russians prefer to sunbathe on the southern beaches of Tenerife: long, narrow, comfortable and ideal for families with children.

Los Cristianos is loved not only by visitors, but also by locals. Las Vistas is reliably protected from ocean waves by breakwaters. For the tourist bustle with all its attributes, it is better to go to Las Americas: there are souvenir shops, eateries with simple cuisine, and even the Marusya restaurant – a nod to the generous “Russo Turisto”. The best pebble coast is on the northern “Playa de San Roque” and “Playa de Benijo”.

Gran Canaria’s most famous beaches are El Inglés and Maspalomas, included in the world’s top 100. Here, endless dunes of sand brought from the Sahara by the sirocco wind are everywhere. In the south of the island there is a whole series of popular resorts with developed infrastructure. The decoration of the city of Las Palmas is the narrow “Las Canteras” on the isthmus, closed by a reef from the sea, and therefore absolutely safe for swimming.

In Fuerteventura, the best place to relax is the famous “Playa de Corralejo”, the pride of Lanzarote – El Reducto beach.

Diving in the Canary Islands is pure pleasure. The local underwater world is dolphins and turtles, sharks and barracudas, rays and sperm whales, lobsters and whales. At depth, you can also admire amazing grottoes, caves, sunken ships, bizarre lava formations.

Diving is possible throughout the year: due to the small difference in winter and summer temperatures in the Canary Islands, there is practically no concept of a season.

There are 3 diving zones on the coast of Tenerife: the north is a rich fauna and a fantastic underwater landscape, the southeast is the location of the largest dive sites, in the west is the calmest ocean, protected from the winds by a mountain range.

El Hierro is a national reserve with untouched nature, free from tourist crowds. Here, divers are expected by deep volcanic caves, gorges and fearless marine life: from large-headed turtles to humpback whales.

Around Gran Canaria there are many secluded bays protected from winds and currents, and in the area of the port of Las Palmas there is a whole cluster of wrecks of the largest ships that have ever sunk in the waters of the Atlantic. The most memorable dives are in the Arinaga Marine Reserve, which annually attracts thousands of divers from all over the world.

Fuerteventura has over 60 dive sites suitable for both professionals and beginners. Off the coast of Gomera there are flocks of barracudas, lobsters, tuna and parrot fish. Diving in the west and east of La Palma is an adventure among crevices, walls, arches and tunnels. Lanzarote is home to the Chinijo Archipelago Marine Reserve, the largest marine reserve in the area.

There are many good dive schools in the Canary Islands, some of which are Russian-speaking. For example, Diving Atlantis offers turtle trial dives for €75, PADI courses from €135 and equipment rentals for €25 per day.

The Canary Islands are a free trade zone, so prices are much lower here than in &€o;ne. The most profitable purchases are crocodile leather accessories and Spanish designer clothes. Standard souvenirs (magnets, postcards, toys) are sold everywhere and cost a penny. But why bring the usual trinkets from the islands when there are much more original options: handicrafts (embroidery, ceramics, wicker crafts), Canarian pine interior decorations, natural and artificial pearls, local wines and tobacco.

In Gran Canaria, you should definitely buy the famous flor de gia cheese, in Tenerife – excellent honey.

In mid-July and early January, sales start in local stores. The most grandiose ones are in Santa Cruz de Tenerife with its numerous shopping centers and galleries. At El Corte Ingles, you can buy clothes, shoes and perfumes from local brands. The resort of Las Americas is home to the Safari Mall, with boutiques for Escada, Versace, D&G and other premium brands.

A separate entertainment is shopping at local bazaars. The most interesting are the Sunday flea market near the port in Las Palmas, the daily Nuestra Señora de Africa in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the Friday Puerto de Mogan in Gran Canaria.

The cuisine of the Canary Islands is traditional Spanish recipes flavored with Latin American and African influences. In the resorts and in large cities, there are many fine restaurants, the prices of which are low by Pei standards. Dinner at the most fashionable establishment will cost 75 € per person for a full set of dishes with wine.

Fisherman’s taverns serving fresh seafood and parillas grills where meat and sausages are grilled over an open fire are popular. Numerous small bars serve all kinds of sandwiches and other snacks. You should definitely look into restaurants with home cooking, where you can taste inexpensive and purely Canarian dishes.

Prices in democratic establishments – 5-20 € for lunch.

Canarians are very fond of hearty soups: ropa vieja with meat and tomatoes, puchero with meat and pumpkin and, of course, rancho canario, a vegetable soup with chickpeas. The most popular meat dish is marinated pork carne de fiesta. Be sure to order freshly caught fish: sea bass, bream, tuna or cod. The best dessert is bienmesabe, which includes lemon, sugar, ground almonds, cinnamon and egg yolks.

In the northwest of Gran Canaria lies the ancient city of Galdar with the remains of the settlements of the indigenous islanders. On the walls of the Cueva Pintada cave, you can see the mysterious drawings of the Guanches tribes: bright, large ornaments in the form of a frieze, which once, perhaps, served as a calendar. Another authentic corner of Gran Canaria is Pueblo Canario, a village with colorful buildings built in the traditional style of the archipelago.

Lanzarote has two ancient fortresses at once: Castillo de San Jose, within the walls of which the Museum of Modern Art is located, and San Gabriel of the 16th century, now the location of the Archaeological Museum.

An unforgettable trip to the pyramids in the Guimar desert in Tenerife. Scientists believe that these structures were erected by local farmers who plowed the land and piled the found stones at the borders of the fields. Tur Heyerdahl managed to discover that Guanches, the ancient natives of the Canary Islands, also lived in a cave under one of the pyramids. Today, an ethnographic park with a museum, a souvenir shop and a cafeteria is laid out in the desert.

One of the most interesting places in Tenerife is the Pyramids of Guimar.

The most famous building in Las Palmas is the House of Columbus, where the legendary navigator stopped to rest during his journey to the New World. Behind the spectacular facade is a museum where visitors can learn a lot of interesting things about the adventures of the discoverer.

Local residents decided to compensate for the lack of large-scale medieval buildings by building San Miguel Castle in the vicinity of the city of the same name. This is a carefully reproduced copy of an old knight’s castle, where they conduct exciting excursions, surprise with spectacular shows and treat you to a hearty dinner in the best traditions of the Middle Ages.

The main natural attractions of the Canaries are the Caldera de Taburiente volcano on the island of La Palma, the waterfall in the Ada Gorge (despite the name, the scenery here is truly heavenly) and the majestic rock formations of Los Gigantes.

There are many parks on the island of Tenerife, walks in which will bring joy not only to adults, but also to children. The Teide National Park is famous for its unique flora and fauna, and most importantly, for the active volcano of the same name with a height of 3500 m. With older children, you can climb to its peak on foot: fortunately, there is an excellent asphalt track and a funicular. Families with kids are better off renting a car.

Not far from Las Americas, the “Park of the Eagles” has been opened. Not only proud birds of prey live here, but also a variety of animals: from lions, tigers and crocodiles to monkeys and fur seals. For tourists, there is a high-speed bobsleigh track, water shows and exciting performances with the participation of trained eagles are regularly held.

You can continue your acquaintance with exotic nature in Parrot Park. It is here that the world’s largest collection of these birds is collected. In general, this is a record-breaking park: the largest dolphin show pool in the world, the longest shark tunnel and the world’s largest indoor penguin exhibition – all this is also located here. And in the “Monkey Park” you can feed lemurs from your hands – the impressions will last for a long time!

There is also an excellent place with water activities in the Canary Islands – Siam Park, built in the Thai style. Wave pool, racing slides, sliders with funnels, play areas for the little ones – you can spend the whole day on the local attractions.

Hotels in the Canary Islands The climate of the Canary Islands is a tropical trade wind with moderately hot and dry weather throughout the year. By the way, it is the local climatic conditions that are recognized as ideal in terms of the number of sunny days, the level of humidity and precipitation. It is always warm on the coast, in the mountainous regions it is a little cooler. The eastern islands are hotter and drier than the western ones. The only possible trouble is the suffocating dusty wind of the sirocco, sometimes reaching here from the African deserts. You can relax in the Canary Islands at least all year round, but the period from mid-July to mid-October is considered the high season.

Visitors to the Canary Islands have the freedom to choose from a variety of worthy accommodation options. There are first-class five-star hotels, casas rurales guest houses located in the beautiful countryside, convenient campsites, and apart-hotels with separate kitchenettes. If you wish, you can even stay in an old building: in the suburbs there are many “paradors” – state-owned hotels located in restored historical buildings. Only the prices differ, but one thing remains unchanged: excellent service and sincere hospitality of the locals.

The cost of accommodation in hostels is low – from 15 € per night. Two-star hotels are not much more expensive: from 20 € per night, but the amenities in them are most often shared, on the floor. Most of the local hotels are four-star, with excellent service and a whole range of additional services. For a day in such hotels they will take from 45 €. Rooms in luxury 5* hotels will cost from €77 per day.

island Spain, Tenerife – “What is it like, a vacation in the Canary Islands? ღ Tenerife, te echo de menos! ღ »

It was the second month of autumn. .. It was cold and damp outside the window, but my heart longed for warm sunny days. Isn’t this the best time to succumb to nostalgia and remember your wonderful summer vacation? And at the same time, this is a great opportunity to give advice to those who have already begun to think about where and how to spend the summer of 2017. Fly to the Canaries, I tell you, and you won’t regret it!

I was lucky enough to spend an unforgettable ten days on the largest island of the Canary archipelago – Tenerife. The island takes its name from a combination of two words – “tene” (mountain) and “ife” (white), which together means White Mountain, i.e. Volcano Teide.

You can read a review of the hotel where I stayed during these ten days HERE. I note that the hotel is wonderful, it has a favorable location, free Wi-Fi and a delicious buffet.

My vacation was at the end of July and the beginning of August – this period, they say, is the hottest in Tenerife. But, I tell you, I did not experience any discomfort from the heat, moreover, it was even cool and windy in the evenings. In general, the Canary Islands are famous for their very mild and pleasant climate at any time of the year.

It is worth mentioning an interesting feature of Tenerife – the island has more than twenty microclimatic zones. This means that the weather in the north of the island will be very different from the weather in the south. If in the south you will expect the sun and a clear sky, then in the north it will be cool and maybe rainy. This climatic feature is especially vividly felt during excursions, when you move from one side of the island to the other, from heat to overcast. The vegetation is also very interestingly changing and transforming, which can be clearly seen in the photographs provided below.

The main tourist areas are located, by the way, in the south. I am relaxing in the resort area of Playa de las Americas – the most popular resort in Tenerife, where the best hotels, expensive boutiques, and restaurants are located.

If you decide to choose Playa de las Americas as your holiday destination, then be prepared for noise at night, because it is at this time that the resort begins to “live” – the lights turn on, music, people come out to have fun. But, honestly, my mother and I, not fans of nightly active life, did not interfere with sleep, maybe we were just very tired during the day on excursions.

I would like to note that walking along the streets of the Playa de las Americas area, I had the feeling that I was in Hollywood or in some Miami. The streets are perfectly clean, the lawn is neatly trimmed, mountains are in the distance… Oh, and what palm trees are different, but equally beautiful! Be sure to take the time to walk along the streets – you can find a lot of interesting and beautiful things.

Tenerife is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. I cannot compare with other oceans, because before that I only rested by the seas, but I can say that the Atlantic Ocean is cold, clearly colder than the sea. I think it’s obvious, just sharing my observations.

The beaches are equipped with special breakwaters, but even with them, the waves are very violent and sometimes it was simply impossible to swim. Yes, I am not a fan of swimming in the ocean or the sea, I prefer a calm pool.

Ocean at low tide

I would like to note that the beaches in Tenerife are sandy, and on some you can even find black sand, which speaks of the volcanic origin of the island. As a souvenir, you can pick up unusual volcanic pebbles.

Black Volcanic Sand

Now for the most interesting part of the review. Why is it worth coming to the Canary Islands and what is definitely worth a visit if you still come? In other words, now I will talk about the places I have visited with or without excursions.

Let me start by saying that rest for me is not all day lying on the beach or near the pool, lazily drinking juice from a straw. For me, the main thing is to get as many impressions as possible, which will last for a whole year, until the next trip.

For travelers like me, Tenerife is perfect because there is really something to see.

Teide volcano.

Teide (Spanish Teide) is a volcano on the island of Tenerife, the municipality of La Orotava, the highest point in Spain, the center of the Teide National Park. Height – 3718 m, relative height above the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean – 7500 m, is the highest peak in this ocean. Tenerife is the third largest volcanic island in the world.

The main attraction of the island is, of course, Mount Teide. If you come to Tenerife, then you simply cannot afford not to visit this volcano. Moreover, I strongly recommend climbing the volcano by cable car, at the top you will find indescribable views.

I told about all my impressions in a separate review, which I recommend reading for those who are interested.

Loro Park.

Loro Park (Spanish: Loro Parque or Parrot Park) is one of the most significant and most visited (40 million people for the entire time of operation) zoos located on the island of Tenerife, near the city of Puerto de la Cruz.

Loro Parque is the largest park in the Canary Islands. The mention of Loro Parque, just like its advertising, is found wherever possible – it is simply impossible to come to Tenerife and never hear about this park.

I will say right away that I liked Eagle Park more, which will be next on my list. As for Loro, this park is more designed for the commercial benefit of visitors – there are a lot of souvenirs, many cafes, restaurants, and behind all these benefits, the feeling of unity with nature is lost. There are a lot of people here, literally crowds, and few animals. But what makes this park worth visiting is the amazing killer whale show.

Jungle Park or Eagle Park.

If you want to feel like you’re in a real jungle, then this is the place for you. In the Park of the Eagles, you will find stunning natural views, a huge amount of vegetation, many animals that will be next to you literally at arm’s length. In the Eagles Park you can watch the show of birds of prey that will soar freely above your heads, come “visit” to the charming lemurs and get a lot of pleasant impressions.

A huge review about this place that amazed me can be read by clicking on the link, there you can find some useful information regarding the cost of tickets and other things …

Dragonwood

Also one of the attractions and characteristic places of the island of Tenerife is the oldest Dragon Tree , located in the municipality of Icod de los Vinos.

In Drago Park you can see one of the most ancient plants on the planet – Tenerife’s thousand-year-old dragon tree. Its height reaches 25 meters, its girth is 10 meters, and its approximate weight will be 80 tons. The Tenerife Dragon Tree is surrounded by a 3 square kilometer park. On its territory, in addition to the Tenerife dragon tree itself, many unique endermic plants (found only here) grow. No less interesting is the road to the park, during which you can see several climatic zones and visit an unusual garden with medicinal Canarian plants. Even on the territory of the Tenerife dragon tree park, you can get acquainted with the ethical traditions of the indigenous inhabitants of the islands.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to get closer to the tree, but one could admire all its power and majesty from the outside. Yes, and taking pictures from afar is even more convenient

Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife

I’ve been planning to visit the Hard Rock cafe chain for a long time, but I never got around to it. In Tenerife, this cafe was located in close proximity, within minutes, and I could not help but visit it.

What can I say? Yummy! Honestly, the burger I tried, although it was quite expensive, was worth every euro spent.

The portions here are huge, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is top notch!

Highly recommended!

McDonald’s…

… this is holy (s)

Since we are talking about food, I will tell you about my impressions of the Canary McDonald’s. I am still a lover of all kinds of fast food, I just could not ignore this alluring letter “M” in yellow.

Does overseas McDonald’s differ from our Russian one? Taste – no. For the price – yes! We are all used to the fact that fast food is the cheapest and most affordable snack. So, in Tenerife, McDonald’s costs twice as much as in our country and you can’t call it cheap anymore.

Another interesting feature that somewhat complicated the ordering process for us is that the names of the food we are used to are only in Spanish, it is very difficult to communicate with the cashiers.

A few words about what you can bring as souvenirs.

Since the island of Tenerife is of volcanic origin, most of the souvenirs are associated with it (I can not guarantee that the souvenirs are really made of volcanic rock, but it looks impressive and beautiful).

A lot of products with parrots. I would venture to suggest that this is due to the fact that Loro Parque is the largest private collection of parrots – there are really a great many of them.

Some more interesting photos from the island of Tenerife that I want to post, but I didn’t find where to put

20 Best Cities for Climate Change in 2022

You’d be hard-pressed to find a part of the country that hasn’t been affected by climate change in one way or another. From an increase in natural disasters to hotter summers and colder winters, climate change has touched homeowners coast to coast. But there are places that experience fewer negative effects than others, and the homes in the best cities for climate change are selling out fast.

Our recent homeownership report found that climate change is becoming an increasingly important factor for homebuyers. Both first-time homebuyers and younger generations said they considered climate change factors such as green building materials, location, floodplains, and local climate stances when making their final decisions.

But when it comes to the data — what cities stand out from the pack? Below are the results of our study for the top 20 U.S. cities for climate change and an in-depth look at where you should (and maybe shouldn’t) settle down.

5 best climate-friendly cities to buy a home

Temperate weather, affordable home insurance rates, and low risks of disasters — these are just some of the things that the best cities for climate change have in common. If you want your home to have the best chance at surviving the elements, consider the following cities when buying your home.

Below is a quick breakdown of some of the data we analyzed to create this study. For more information, check out our methodology section.

Cumulative Resilience Screening Index (CRSI) score

This score is calculated by the EPA to determine an area’s resilience to meteorological events and natural hazards. The higher the score, the more resilient the area.

Climate change risk level

Created by ClimateCheck.com, a 0-100 rating is given based on an area’s risk of climate change-related hazards compared to other areas in the United States. The lower the score, the lower the risk level.

Climate change index

Policygenius analyzed several climate change-related factors to determine which states are best and worst for climate change. A higher score indicates a better outlook on a low-emissions future, while a lower score means a worse outlook.

5. Laredo, Texas

Nestled right on the southern border of Texas, Laredo might not be your first thought when it comes to climate-friendly cities. But there’s more than meets the eye in The Gateway City, meaning it’s not just a beautiful blend of Mexican and American cultures (though that’s certainly a huge selling point). Laredo has a high Cumulative Resilience Screening Index score and a low risk of disasters like fire and severe storms, indicating that even as our planet changes, Laredo homeowners won’t need to worry too much about natural disasters.

Median home price: $184,086

Average home insurance premium: $2,242

4.

Boise, Idaho
Boise, Idaho, is actually a pretty great place to buy a home if you want to avoid the negative effects of climate change. Boise was recently given one of the highest Cumulative Resilience Screening Index scores of all cities studied. Add to that their relatively low-risk rating, and it’s clear there’s almost no better city poised to bounce back from whatever comes its way.

Median home price: $523,760

Average home insurance premium: $1,216

Cost of living: 93.7/100

Comfort index: 7.3/10

Climate change index: 44.5/100

Climate action plan status: No plan

3. Tucson, Arizona

With over 286 sunny days and only 12 inches of rain every year, Tucson is a sunshine lover’s paradise. Add to that a low cost of living and a high CRSI score, and Tucson is poised to become a mecca for homeowners looking toward the future. Though there are a few concerns Arizona homeowners need to be aware of, such as drought and extreme heat, the city already has a plan in place to help combat climate change and keep its city thriving for years to come.

Median home price: $300,294

Average home insurance premium: $1,521

Cost of living: 89.4/100

Comfort index: 7.5/10

CRSI score: 7.001

2. El Paso, Texas

Want to move to a city where your home is at low risk for fire, flood, drought, and severe storms? Who doesn’t? El Paso ranks low on the climate change risk level for all of these factors, meaning your home will be that much safer from the negative effects of our changing climate. And while they don’t have a climate action plan as of yet, they do have low home prices and cost of living, meaning you can save money while you wait for a plan to fall into place.

Median home price: $182,377

Average home insurance premium: $2,361

Cost of living: 82.2/100

Comfort index: 8/10

CRSI score: 2.536

Climate change risk level: 48/100

Climate change index: 25.7/100

Climate action plan status: No plan

1. Bakersfield, California

The best city for climate change is Bakersfield, California. But what exactly, other than the relatively low home prices for the state, makes this city such a great place to live? Bakersfield is home to the fifth-lowest climate risk level of all 100 cities studied in addition to a high resilience score, making it a great city for long-term real estate investment.

Median home price: $353,987

Average home insurance premium: $800

Cost of living: 91.8/100

Comfort index: 8.1/10

5 cities worth reconsidering when looking to buy a home for climate change

Now that we’ve covered the best cities for climate change, you might be asking yourself, where should I not move? When considering where to buy your home, it’s important to recognize the area’s resilience to climate change, its risk of natural disasters, and what the local government is doing to improve the city. Below are the five cities that may experience the brunt of climate change.

Already settled in these areas, or unable to move away for one reason or another? Don’t panic. If you are going to buy a home in these areas, find the safest areas of these cities using tools like FEMA’s Flood Map or this Fire and Smoke map to give yourself the best chance at a positive long-term investment.

5. Denver, Colorado

The Mile High City is not immune to climate change. In fact, a recent study found that by 2080 Denver will feel more like a town in Texas than Colorado, with warmer temperatures and less snow than its residents are currently experiencing. The EPA has also rated Denver pretty low on the resilience index, meaning Denver homeowners will need to be prepared to update their homes as their surroundings change. However, the city is currently implementing a climate action plan to help combat some of these negative impacts.

Median home price: $599,742

Average home insurance premium: $2,886

Cost of living: 113/100

Comfort index: 7. 3/10

CRSI score: 0.231

Climate change risk level: 69/100

Climate change index: 67.6/100

Climate action plan status: Implementation

4. Miami, Florida

Though Miami, Florida, may be coined Magic City, its coastal location means its climate change risk is anything but magical. At an extremely high propensity for flooding, extreme heat, and hurricanes, Miami homeowners will need to do some prep work to make sure their homes can stand up to the elements. The good news? Miami does have a climate strategy in place with the goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Median home price: $469,562

Average home insurance premium: $4,083

Cost of living: 116.2/100

Comfort index: 6.4/10

CRSI score: 1. 465

Climate change risk level: 100/100

Climate change index: 21.8/100

Climate action plan status: Implementation

3. Jersey City, New Jersey

Coastal homes are always at a higher risk for the effects of climate change than their inland counterparts. Due to New Jersey’s size and location, pretty much every home in the state is susceptible to flooding, hurricanes, and related damage. Add to that a high cost of living and home prices, and you may want to consider planting roots outside of Jersey City.

Median home price: $576,986

Average home insurance premium: $1,898

Cost of living: 122.5/100

Comfort index: 7.3/10

CRSI score: 0.659

Climate change risk level: 88/100

Climate change index: 38/100

Climate action plan status: Developing

2.

Newark, New Jersey
Are you surprised to see another NJ city on this list? You shouldn’t be. With the recent hurricanes, Irene and Sandy-damaged homes, and the wiped out power across the state for weeks, New Jersey has fallen most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and will likely continue to do so. Due to Newark’s location and lack of a climate action plan, the city is higher on the list than its neighbor Jersey City.

Median home price: $384,391

Average home insurance premium: $1,980

Cost of living: 119.1/100

Comfort index: 7.2/10

CRSI score: 0.637

Climate change risk level: 97/100

Climate change index: 38/100

Climate action plan status: No plan

1. Arlington, Texas

The worst city for climate change turns out to be none other than Arlington, Texas. Scoring in the bottom half of all cities studied for climate change resilience, Arlington is also at high risk for extreme heat, drought, and severe storms. The city also doesn’t have a climate plan in place to help combat these risks, though that doesn’t mean they won’t get hip to the idea in the future.

Bottom line: If you are still deciding where to buy a home, it’s probably a good idea to avoid this area for long-term home value and low disaster risk.

Median home price: $300,723

Average home insurance premium: $3,953

Cost of living: 95.1/100

Comfort index: 7.2/10

CRSI score: 1.406

Climate change risk level: 56/100

Climate change index: 25.7/100

Climate action plan status: No plan

How will climate change affect homes?

If climate change is teaching us anything, it’s that we all need to do our part to help mitigate the problem. In addition to developing eco-friendly habits, it’s also a smart move to help prepare your home for the changes our climate will be experiencing in the years to come.

From an increase in damage from natural disasters to more wear and tear as our seasons become more extreme, there are a lot of ways climate change will impact homes. All the more reason to upgrade your home with the latest technology to avoid small issues from becoming big problems. Other storm-friendly tips for keeping your home secure include adding alternative energy sources to your home, upgrading your appliances to be more energy efficient, and proactively assessing your policy to ensure it fits your home’s changing needs.

Where should you move to avoid climate change?

While it’s clear that some cities are better prepared for dealing with climate change than others, ultimately what city you move to should be dependent on your unique needs and interests. Take the quiz below to learn which of the top five cities is the best suited for your lifestyle.

Which climate-friendly city should you buy a home in?

Home insurance for the future

Dealing with climate change is all about prevention and protection. Funnily enough, the same can be said about home insurance. By taking the time early on to get your home fully protected from the elements, you can save yourself a lot of money down the road. Our policies are catered to this idea, offering prevention services like Hippo Home Care to help our customers with home maintenance and ownership.

Outside of working with a forward-thinking company, another great way to make sure your home can stand up to climate change is to add in the latest smart home devices that’ll help safeguard your home over the long term. And if you’re renovating or building your home from the ground up, you may want to look at working with climate-friendly building materials to ensure it is built with sustainability in mind, which can mean lower maintenance costs and/or upkeep in the future.

When deciding where to buy a home — and where to get home insurance — it’s important to do your research. For a policy that stomps out the competition and is always looking toward the future, turn to Hippo.

Methodology: This study was conducted from February to March 2022. To identify the best cities for climate change, the team at Hippo pulled the following data sets for the 100 most populous cities in the United States:

Average cost of a home (Source: Zillow)

Weight: .09

Average cost of home insurance (Source: Insurance.com)

Weight: .08

Comfort index — average of summer and winter scores (Source: BestPlaces)

Weight: .06

Cost of living (Source: City Data)

Weight: .24

Climate change risk report (Source: ClimateCheck)

Weight: .20

Climate change index (Source: Policygenius)

Weight: .16

Climate action plan status (Source: Zero Energy Project)

Weight: . 12

Several cities in our list didn’t have complete data sets (e.g., Anchorage and Honolulu) so while they were still considered, they scored much lower on our list due to missing information.

To determine the score, we assigned a weight out of 100 to every piece of data, based on the most important factors for those looking to buy a home in a climate-friendly city. The scores assigned to each city were then given a ranking, and cities with the highest scores were selected as the best cities for climate change.

Retirees, These 15 Cities Have the Best Weather Year-Round

Contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to get the best of both worlds when you retire — weather-wise at least. Scouting cities with the best weather year-round takes some time. Some retirees prefer warm weather only, while others crave all four seasons at a reasonable level. There are countless retirement rankings for weather out there, but we combined the most prominent ratings from Niche.com, Kiplinger, and data from the National Climatic Data Center reported by US News to give you the ultimate cheat sheet on retirement locations.

When it’s time to pack your bags and head for the road, where will you go? More than likely, you’ll want a city that offers reasonable temperatures all year long. Let’s take a look at the 15 cities with the best weather to retire in.

Retiring to Hawaii won’t be the most budget-friendly option, but it will be the prettiest. Both Kiplinger and US News note Hawaii’s high prices overall, but retirees who choose to flock to Hilo can live more comfortably in an enviable climate. With an average high temperature of 83 and a low of 64, retirees can enjoy those beautiful beaches all year — just be prepared for a bit of sticker shock on the island’s everyday goods.

Weather-related extremes are usually non-existent in Portland, Oregon according to US News. The city does receive an above average amount of rainfall, but the remaining days stay at a comfortable temperature many retirees would appreciate. Retirees who still crave four full weather seasons at a less-extreme rate should put Portland on their retirement list. AARP also ranks nearby Bend, Oregon, as another suitable retirement destination for both weather patterns and senior-friendly activities.

Key West experiences an average high of 90 degrees in July and mild 65-degree winters. The tourist town is not exactly budget-friendly, but it’s warm climate does lend itself to great fishing and museums in the area, according to a Wallet Hub analysis. Therefore, retirees placing weather as their top priority should put Key West on their short list.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a great place to retire if you hate the cold. About one out of every five people in this city are 65 and over, meaning retirees will have no issue finding friends to explore the 47 local hot springs on a cooler winter day. Still, the temperatures remain mild throughout the year. Summertime months usually linger around 93 degrees in July and sit at 31 degrees in January.

California is one of US News’ most fair-weathered states overall. San Francisco and Long Beach are both cities where retirees can avoid unbearable weather patterns, but San Diego offers a small town feel other nearby cities lack — at least that’s what locals say. Temperatures float from the mid-60s in winter to the high-70s in the summer. There are more than enough warm sunny days to enjoy Coronado Beach and the Laguna Mountains to the east.

10. Carlsbad, California

Ocean-side living and a sunny California climate make Carlsbad a great city to retiree weather-wise. It rarely gets above 70 degrees in the summer or below 45 degrees in the winter, so retirees will have no problem enjoying all the outdoor hiking trails the city offers. Unfortunately, pristine weather conditions come at a price. Kiplinger ranks California as one of the least tax-friendly states for retirees, and the high cost of living doesn’t always lend itself to a life of frugality many seniors want.

While the summers may get a bit toasty in New Orleans, the winters remain mild. Kiplinger reports an average summer high of 91 degrees and a winter low of 45 degrees. Such temperatures allow active retirees to enjoy everything this vibrant Louisiana city offers, such as parades, festivals, and a lively music scene. Don’t worry about your budget, Louisiana is one of the best states for retirees when it comes to taxes.

All three publications agree that Texas is a wise state to choose for retirement if weather is a high priority. January lows are pleasant throughout the state, and the summers are warm in places like Galveston or Richardson. But Kiplinger thinks Sherman, Texas, will be a future retirees best bet. It has reasonable year-round weather conditions — although slightly on the warmer side during the summer months — and an excitingly low cost of living.

Greenville, South Carolina, is a fast-growing city with a small-town feel. The cost of living is cheap and the weather is sensible. Greenville is perfect for snow birds looking to escape Northern winters but who don’t want to travel all the way to Florida to do so. Winter nights may be chilly with a 34-degree average, but the summers are warmer at 89 degrees.

5. Atlanta, Georgia

US News thinks very highly of Georgia as a permanent retirement location. In July, Atlanta’s average high is 89 degrees, but temperatures fall to an average low of 34 degrees in January. This means retirees will still get the best of both worlds, minus the sub-zero temperatures or record-breaking heat spells. To top it off, Atlanta boasts a reasonable job market and a cheap cost of living comparison. FYI — it’s westerly neighbor, Savannah, is not a bad option, either.

Nearby Siesta Beach is popular with locals and tourists alike considering almost everyday in Florida is a sunny day.

The average high temperature in Scottsdale ranges anywhere from the mid-60s to just over 100 degrees, something many retirees will rejoice if they’re used to enduring long, brutal winters up north. You’ll even be able to escape sweltering summertime heat since the annual high only reaches 84 degrees. It’s for this reason Niche.com ranked Scottsdale as its No. 2 best city to retire overall. Residents just can’t say enough about the city’s weather, health and fitness, and outdoor activities.

Climate Change Home Buying FAQ

Keep reading to learn more about how climate change can affect your home buying journey.

Is It Important To Factor Climate Change Into Home Buying Decisions?

As a home buyer, it’s becoming more important to factor climate change into your home buying decisions for a few reasons. When looking at an area you’re interested in, you should be cognizant of whether the region has been experiencing extreme weather or natural disasters, like consistent wildfires or floods.

You should also be knowledgeable about the county or city’s formal climate action plans or goals and whether they’re being implemented. If the city is becoming more prone to experiencing the effects of climate change and isn’t taking steps to protect itself, it may be best to take a look at other areas if you plan to stay in one spot long term.

How Will Climate Change Affect My Home?

As we continue to see the growing effects of climate change, it’s important to take the necessary steps to protect your home. Good home insurance can provide coverage when natural disasters like hurricanes and fires occur. Depending on where you reside, you may need to get hazard insurance for specific natural occurrences, like earthquakes.

To help combat climate change and save money, you can renovate your home with energy-efficient elements, like smart home systems and energy-saving appliances.

Methodology

We analyzed data from the house price index per state in Q1 2022, comfort index, climate change risk, climate action plans and the cumulative resistance screening index to gather our estimates on the best places to live if you’re concerned about the effects of climate change.

Here are the factors we considered when weighing our rankings:

Climate Check’s Climate change risk report – 35%

EPA’s Cumulative resistance screening index– 30%

C2ES’s U.S. State Climate action plans – 20%

FRED’s House price index per state in Q1 2022 – 10%

Best Places’ Comfort index – 5%

Below is what several climate-specific metrics mean.

Climate Check’s Climate change risk report: A rating of 1 indicates the lowest risk of being affected by climate change, whereas 100 is the highest.

EPA’s Cumulative resistance screening index: The higher the CRSI is, the more climate resistant the area is.

NCEI’s Climate Change extreme index: A higher percentage indicates the area is more affected by climate change extremes versus an area with a lower percentage.

We also want to note that several cities didn’t have complete data sets (for example, Honolulu and Anchorage). They were still considered in the rankings but scored much lower due to missing information.

States with the Best Weather 2022

Climate preferences are highly personal. Some people prefer cold weather, some prefer hot, and some like it right in the middle. Some people prefer to have all four seasons – fall, winter, spring, and summer – and all of the weather that comes with each.

Other people would love for it to be summer all year round. If someone is looking to move to a new state, for a vacation spot, or for a location to retire, it’s helpful to know which states in the U.S. have the best weather year-round.

This type of information can be especially helpful for individuals who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression affected by the seasons, typically starting in the fall and lasting through the winter, and then going away during the spring and summer. Those looking to relocate affected by SAD will most likely want to find a home where the weather is favorable and warm all year.

The “Best” Weather

What states have the best weather? When evaluating each state for temperature, rain, and sun, some states stand out. Although climate and weather preferences are personal and subjective, some criteria are considered to make up the best weather, according to Current Results:

Comfortable temperatures from 63°F to 86°F for more than half of the year.

Dry weather with no more than 60 inches of rain per year.

Mostly clear skies with an average of sunshine for at least 60% of the year.

Based on these criteria, California has the best weather of all 50 states. Coastal cities in south and central California, such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Santa Barbara, experience only 20 inches of rain per year and temperatures typically between the low 60s and 85 degrees.

Los Angeles reports sunshine for 73% of the year. The ten states in the U.S. with the best weather are California, Hawaii, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Delaware, North Carolina, and Louisiana.

States Ranked By Weather Conditions

Because weather preferences are so personal, the following table has the most prominent weather conditions that could affect your attraction to specific states. The table includes the hottest, coldest, rainiest, snowiest, and sunniest states, as well as how many droughts, wildfires, severe storms, hurricanes, and floods have occurred in each state between the years 2007 and 2016.

10 Cities With The Best Weather In Florida

Posted in Florida
Nature April 28, 2022

Florida weather varies greatly from city to city. For instance, you may think that because we live in Florida that every city is among the sunniest cities in Florida. However, the average number of sunny days can actually vary greatly depending on where you live.

Although Florida’s average of 237 days a year of sunshine definitely beats the U. S. average of 205, most of the towns on this list have close to 30 more days than the state average, so, in other words, they boast some of the best weather in Florida year round. Seriously, that’s an extra month of sunshine! Below, are the top 10 cities with the best weather in Florida, according to Sperling’s Best Places. (We only considered places with more than 10,000 people to make the list more helpful.)

What are the most unique towns in Florida?

Incredible Florida weather isn’t the only thing to love about the state’s towns. There are all kinds of amazing towns in the state, including Tarpon Springs. Touted as one of the state’s best kept secrets, the tiny town boasts some major Greek vibes, thanks to the abundance of Greek immigrants that once inhabited the area. Visit the town today and you’ll find a ton of Greek restaurants as well as great shopping, specialty markets, boutiques, and more. There’s even an annual Greek festival.

What is the most scenic town in Florida?

Matlacha may not be one of the sunniest cities in Florida, but it’s definitely one of the most scenic, and that’s partly due to the colorful hues that consume the town. A treasured hidden gem, the coastal village is one of several communities found on Pine Island. Like something from a fairy tale, the town is brimming with candy-colored shops that house everything from great eateries to boutiques and more. Outdoor activities are also plentiful in Matlacha, which means there’s truly something for everyone.

▷ Where is the Best Climate in Russia?

Feb 2, 2021

Probably, since school, from geography lessons, we know that Russia, the largest country in terms of territory, is located in 4 climatic zones . There is such a branch of science – bioclimatology. So, bioclimatologists believe that the best climate for human health is subtropical, and temperate continental is in second place. So where is the best climate in Russia? Let’s figure it out.

What influences human health in particular? First of all, ecology, air temperature and humidity, its purity, atmospheric pressure and solar activity. Sharp seasonal changes provoke a deterioration in people’s health. It is logical that in places where there are the most centenarians , the climate is best suited for human habitation. Scientists believe that a person is most comfortable at a temperature of +24 , and sudden changes during the year are not very good for well-being. Of course, we are all different, and everyone has their own preferences, as well as their own characteristics of health, interests, hobbies and addictions. But nevertheless, let’s look at the TOP-6 places where, according to scientists, The best climate in Russia:

Containing

6. Altai Territory

5. Kaliningrad region

4. Crimea

3. Stavropol Territory

2. Black Sea coast

1. Republic of Adygea

6. Altai Territory

If we evaluate the climate in terms of air purity and environmental conditions, then you need to go to Altai Territory . Let’s give him a conditional sixth place in the list “where is the best climate in Russia”. This is one of the most ecologically clean regions of Russia . It has very warm summers and relatively mild winters.

Those who like summer to be summer and winter to be winter should come here. The air in these parts is truly healing, unique salt lakes with healing water , therapeutic mud, mineral springs attract thousands of residents of megacities. Many, probably, used or at least heard about medical and cosmetic products based on Altai herbs. A resort town Belokurikha , which is located in these places, has been repeatedly recognized as the best in Russia.

5. Kaliningrad region

Many places that are suitable for the concept of “good climate” in terms of temperature conditions are located in the south of Russia, but not all people like the heat and the active sun. Fans of moderate temperatures should pay attention to the Baltic Sea coast .

Kaliningrad region is the westernmost region of Russia. It can be put in fifth place in the list of “the best climate in Russia”. This region has no border with Russia, the capital is Kaliningrad, the climate in it is maritime temperate continental and very mild. Summer is not too hot but sunny days are enough to get a tan and not get burned, as in the south.

Due to the excellent climate in the region, tourism and sanatorium treatment are very developed. Among Russians, such resort towns of the region as Svetlogorsk, Zelenogradsk, Pioneer are very popular. The sea air here is saturated with iodine, and these towns are simply buried in greenery. Moreover, the vegetation is amazingly diverse! These are southern rhododendrons and magnolias, and coniferous-northern plants. Kaliningrad region is known unique natural formations , such as the Curonian Spit. You can visit these places at any time of the year.

4. Crimea

The fourth place in terms of best climatic conditions should be given to the Crimean peninsula. We can safely say that the climate of the Crimea is one of its main advantages. Crimea is quite large in area, so the climate in different areas is different. Of course, is most comfortable on the coast of . It is not for nothing that in such cities as Yalta, Alushta, Sudak, Feodosia, most of the health resorts of Crimea are concentrated, and the climate in them is similar to the Mediterranean.

3. Stavropol Territory

Third place in terms of “the best climate in Russia”, you can safely give Stavropol Territory . Its administrative center is the city of Stavropol. It is located equidistant from the Black and Caspian Seas in the North Caucasus in southern Russia. But, it is unlikely that it will suit people who are contraindicated for high solar activity – it lasts here about 170 days a year. This city is one of the greenest in Russia. There are few large enterprises here, which is very beneficial on air quality .

2. Black Sea coast

The second place in our list in terms of climate quality is , beloved by all Russians, Black Sea coast . It is here that the largest number of sanatoriums and resorts in Russia is located. Previously, these places were called the All-Russian health resort.

Indeed, the climate here is very mild , winters are short, and sub-zero temperatures are rare. The only exceptions are ski resorts high in the mountains. Everyone knows such cities as Sochi, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, Anapa. First of all, the sea has a favorable effect on the climate here. The holiday season, for beach lovers, lasts from early May to October, there are very few cloudy days. And in winter there is something to do here, for outdoor enthusiasts there are excellent ski resorts. By the way, all these cities are in Krasnodar Territory .

1. The Republic of Adygea

Most often, the first place in the list of best climatic conditions for life is the capital of the Republic of Adygea – the city of Maikop , translated as “the capital of wild apple trees.” This small cozy town is located on the Belaya River at the foothills of the Caucasus Range.

The average annual temperature here does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius. Summer is not too hot and the summer period lasts about 180 days. The authorities of the Republic of Adygea pay great attention to ecology. Therefore, the air here is very clean.

Of course, the concept of “where is the best climate in Russia” is very conditional and subjective. We are all different and everyone has their own preferences. Someone does not tolerate the sun, someone is allergic to frost. Russia is a large country, and almost everyone can find the best conditions for life, if, of course, only climatic conditions are taken into account.

Where a Russian person feels good

Where a Russian person feels good

Last time, the VOC denigrated our great homeland in an article about cities with poor ecology and high crime rates. This time we decided to improve and, based on the same parameters and testimonies of residents, find out which cities in Russia are the most favorable for life. However, for every positive opinion there is a critic. This is Russia.

Krasnodar

Founded: 1793

Population: 805,680 people

The city, created as a military fortress, today has the unofficial status of the capital of the Kuban, as well as the southern capital of Russia. A rather favorable climate gives the inhabitants short and mild winters with little or no precipitation and long and hot summers.

The situation with the environment is not so bad: the main problem is the incredible amount of vehicles. But there is something else: the main river of the city of Kuban, according to the conclusion of Rospotrebnadzor, “does not meet the safety requirements for microbiological and parasitological indicators.” But what kind of rivers, when the city is located not far from two warm seas (Black and Azov) – is this not happiness? Krasnodar ranks 8th in the country in terms of the number of people moving there for permanent residence. The city is developing at an incredible pace. Pleasant climate, good infrastructure, in the end, even two seas – there are plenty of reasons to connect your life with Krasnodar.

Opinion of citizens

Olga:

Krasnodar is a great city, recently recognized as one of the most comfortable cities to live in Russia. Yes, inevitably with its drawbacks, of course, these are traffic jams. But now not one of the big cities can do without them. But the city has a huge number of pluses, it is certainly cleanliness and livability. There are many parks, squares, there is where to walk with children. There are also a lot of all kinds of entertainment for every taste and budget, ranging from many shopping centers to restaurants and nightclubs. There is a lot of work in the city, and if you wish, it is possible to find a decent one, I speak from my own experience.

Alexander:

Provincial small town, not a city, I would say. The city consists entirely of the private sector with old houses mixed with new buildings. An unfortunate mix of town and country. Ecology of the city is another trouble of Krasnodar. The city is full of cars, and the smell of exhaust gases is felt even on the outskirts of the city. Another factor of poor ecology is not enough green spaces. And finally, about the climate! From May to September there is a gas chamber, the columns rise to 40 degrees, the air is hot, like in an oven, and it is not possible to travel in public transport. But when the long-awaited rains fall in the summer, the city simply paralyzes. Krasnodar is not equipped with stormwater, it floods entire neighborhoods, many streets have dirty water knee-deep, and therefore, until the public utilities pump out the water, the whole city will die out.

Belgorod

Founded: in 1596

Population: 384,150 people

Russia’s first “city of military glory” is located on the slope of the White Mountain, 40 km from the border with Ukraine. The Belgorod region is considered one of the cleanest regions in Russia, and its capital is ranked 2nd in the environmental rating. The main source of pollution is exhaust gases, but trees planted at every turn help eliminate this problem. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the “city of the first salute” is one of the quietest and most peaceful in Russia: 5,200 crimes are committed a year. They get married here twice as often as they get divorced, and the number of abortions remains very low – the atmosphere of Belgorod sets you up for a family mood. Despite the rapid pace of development of the city, some residents are afraid that it will lose its historical appearance, and, accordingly, some uniqueness. But more and more people are striving for this little paradise on Russian soil, and they can be understood.

Opinion of citizens

Anna

The city is really exemplary for Russia, cleanliness is simply European level. Modern, comfortable, very quickly built and developed. Very good products from local producers; there is not a single broken sidewalk in the city, the people as a whole live well. I would recommend moving there to live, if you are pensioners or bring up small children, you will be comfortable and calm. Crime is also very low.

Anna:

Not a city, but a collective farm named after Forty Years Without a Harvest. Shit covered with paving slabs. Evil envious faces. Medicine is an incompetent cattle with diplomas “for fat”. Nepotism, bribery, squealing, sycophancy, everyone has a godfather, brother, matchmaker somewhere – from the smallest bureaucrats to the very “top” – hence complete lawlessness and endemic impunity, the general low intellectual level of the population, drugs, rampant unemployment. The rampant construction of churches and the same rampant visits of healers and sorcerers. Jobs are not being created, but malls are growing like mushrooms. There are not so many population units to visit so many shopping centers. The local population is low cultured, arrogant, boorish.

Vladyusha:

This city is suitable for you if you need a good climate with warm winters, early springs and long summers. There is a low crime rate here. You can safely be on the street in any area at any time of the day, of course, no one is safe from freaks, but the probability of stumbling upon aggressive bastards is extremely low, phones and valuables are practically not squeezed out on the streets (the police quickly find such people, so it makes no sense). Yes, if you do not like Caucasians or guests from Central Asia, then welcome to Belgorod, there are very few of them (by the way, there is not a single mosque in the region).

Kaliningrad

Founded: 1255

Population: 448,548 people

The city, which does not have a land border with the country, is washed by the waters of the Baltic Sea and is adjacent to Poland and Lithuania. Kaliningrad has collected a number of titles in various ratings: the best city in Russia in 2012, 2013 and 2014 according to the Kommersant Secret Firmy magazine rating, the most beautiful city in the country according to RBC, the best city in Russia for business according to the Forbes magazine rating.

Winter in the city is quite comfortable, European – without heavy rainfall. The impact on the environment is mainly caused by an abundance of vehicles. The issue of security is not acute, as noted by local residents. About 7760 illegal actions are committed per year. The level of corruption is also fabulously low.

Despite the proximity of Europe, people still stay in Kaliningrad. Moreover, a significant number of migrants come from Europe itself. Not only compatriots appreciated the most western city of Russia at its true worth.

The opinion of the townspeople

Lavinia

I live in Koenig, I think that if you live in Russia, then only here, and it doesn’t matter that the climate is not very good, because anyway in summer the weather is often good and literally in half an hour you can get to the sea, but with the construction new autobahn in general in 15 minutes. Regarding entertainment, there is generally expanse, and if you still like an active lifestyle, you can find literally everything from here. Also, the city is just beautiful, there are a lot of monuments … in general, this is a unique combination.

Artem:

The city is rather peculiar – not a remote province with gray buildings, but also without Great Russian pathos, rather something in between Russia and the European Union. The expression “Kaliningrad is part of Europe in Russia” was in use, but from about 2005-2007 it changed to “Kaliningrad is part of Russia in Europe”. Kaliningrad itself is self-sufficient, it can feed and raise the standard of living, but a lot goes to the center.

Sergey:

It seems that for the seemingly beautiful life of a small group of hangers-on, for beautiful squares, streets in the city center, people pay a huge price in the form of loss of health and material resources. And God forbid that happen-calculation only on themselves. A complex city living in grand style at the expense of working horses. But in the summer it is good at the sea, and in the city it is already green in the spring, the sky is blue-blue, the air is a fresh sea breeze. From changes in atmospheric pressure, many have migraines, many strokes, oncology rolls over.

Kazan

Founded in 1005.

Population: 1,206,100 people

The Third Capital of Russia is a major economic, scientific and cultural center. It has a temperate climate: sudden changes in temperature are not typical for it. Like any large city with an industrial component, Kazan has a number of environmental problems associated with air and water pollution. But unlike other cities with similar difficulties, this is the only metropolis that recycles its waste, which allows you to keep the amount of harmful substances in the atmosphere under control. Compared to 19In the 1980s-1990s, the situation was very calm: 90% of cases opened were solved.

Many people come to Kazan in search of a better life and, apparently, find it there, because the vast majority of residents are satisfied with both the actions of local authorities and the city itself as a whole.

Opinion of citizens

Anastasia

Kazan is a chic city!!! I moved here 10 years ago and have never wanted to! She is Russian herself, and has never felt any discrimination, absolutely. People here are culturally developed, educated. There are a lot of newcomers, including rural ones, but they also strive to keep up with urban residents either in education, or in behavior, or in communication. Five years ago, traffic jams were a big problem in Kazan. Now there are practically none, they made powerful decoupling for the Universiade. Sports are developed, culture is very developed, places for entertainment of a different plan are the sea !!!

Serega:

I really like living here. There are flaws, but basically everything is as it should be. The government has a course on innovation, this is in order. Beautiful again. At night, the view of Kazanka is super (although the nightlife in the city is not as vibrant as, for example, in Moscow). Prices are normal, salaries are not very high here. There are a lot of major events – the Universiade, the World Championships, all sorts of “Barcelona” come, “tiesto”. In general, by and large, there is nothing to complain about, but there appears – that is, where. You also need to choose the right area, for example, Aviastroy, in my opinion, is completely rotten.

Person

This is a very dirty, not well-groomed city, all historical architectural buildings were demolished, and tasteless new buildings are being built instead. The level of culture, intelligence, upbringing and literacy of the population of the city is in a deplorable state, it is practically non-existent. Insolence, not good manners and rudeness in all its senses flourishes in this city, all the negativity I have listed is in the order of things, no one pays attention to everything. That’s all I tell, without exaggeration, what I saw and write. People in Kazan are terribly evil, greed, commercialism at the pathological level, there is no soulfulness, pity, respect, concessions among people in Kazan. I would also like to add, I have described the general crowd, of course, there are also decent, literate, cultured people, but there are very few of them, as exceptions. If you look at the overall picture of the people of the city, they are practically invisible, unfortunately the negative greatly exceeds the positive, and this is sad

Obninsk

Founded in 1946.

Population: 107,319 people.

Obninsk is the first science city in Russia, which is the main reason for local pride. Its specificity is reminiscent of a rather unusual flag for Russia, depicting a symbolic atom in a laurel wreath. The ecology in Obninsk, which is surrounded by greenery, as the townspeople themselves note, is good.

In addition, Obninsk residents do not ask questions about security, since its level is quite high. Most crimes involve petty theft. Slowly but surely, the city with the world’s first nuclear power plant is growing and developing both through migration and natural growth. Calm and cozy, with incredible scientific potential and developed infrastructure, Obninsk leaves most of its residents satisfied.

Opinion of citizens

Kirill

In general, the city is cozy, similar to a microdistrict of Moscow, there are many entertainment establishments, you can find a job (whoever is looking for one will always find it), and even a normally paid one for these places.

Love:

I lived in this city for a short time and it was enough… until the end of my life! Finding a job is impossible. It’s easier to travel to Moscow, as most people do, but at the same time it’s terribly tired in transport. There are no roads in the city – these are not roads, but pits! The police don’t work! One friend could not achieve anything, they brushed it off. I encountered them myself. They work on the “fuck off”. Residents … I have never seen such arrogance even in Moscow. And why would?..

Tyumen

Founded in 1586.

Population: 679,861 people.

The first Russian city of Siberia currently has the unofficial status of the oil and gas capital of Russia. The weather in Tyumen is unpredictable, but today a snowy frosty winter is the exception rather than the rule.

The city is at the peak of economic and territorial development, which affects the environmental component, although green spaces still withstand the load, stabilizing the situation. If you do not spend all your free time studying local news feeds, then information about minor, most often domestic crimes will bypass you. Crime is not a hot topic in Tyumen.

According to the Research Center of the Superjob.ru portal, 92% of Tyumen residents are satisfied with their city and have no doubts about a prosperous future. People trust the local authorities, as the positive results of their actions are obvious. The rapidly developing oil and gas monastery retains the image of a comfortable and promising city.

Opinion of citizens

Rustam:

Tyumen is one of the best cities in Russia, apart from Kazan! The most clean, beautiful, green city! And most importantly, it is compact with a population of more than 700 thousand. And you can not pay attention to traffic jams, while you are standing in a traffic jam, you can admire the architecture of the city, and if you wish, you can go around this traffic jam.

Victoria:

I don’t like Tyumen with traffic jams, the terrible quality of service in all structures, where they also consider it in the order of things for you to get nasty for your own money (this can be seen as a bonus), I try to buy things on trips or abroad, but only not in local stores. Prices are raised at least 2 times, even with neighboring Yekaterinburg. Traffic jams are everywhere, as a rule, due to the stupidity of drivers, everyone will probably honor cars, any student already considers it necessary to have a car. I really regret not leaving. Separately, it is necessary to single out people, there are a lot of show-offs, first they look at what you are wearing, what you came with. Most live beyond their means, although the city is quite rich, but these endless show-offs just enrage me, everyone around is trying to show something to someone, but nobody needs it like that.

Novosibirsk

Founded in 1893.

Population: 1,547,910 people.

Growing by leaps and bounds, the third largest city in Russia owes its appearance to the Trans-Siberian Railway. Absorbing nearby territories, Novosibirsk rightly claims the status of the capital of Siberia.

The climate of the city is not for everyone: if you are ready for sudden temperature changes and the sudden onset of summer after a frosty winter, then you are in the right place. The city is surrounded by a colossal forest area, which saves it from the damage caused by many working enterprises. The crime chronicle mainly consists of standard everyday stories. In addition, it is worth noting the rather low level of corruption in the city. A large metropolis with an extensive cultural and entertainment base will suit those who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the capital, but are not yet ready for total calm.

ILRoM:

Super city!!! Yes, the roads here are not very good, but if you consider that half of Barnaul will be located on Red Avenue alone, then this can be forgiven. I have been to almost all major Siberian cities (Omsk, Irkutsk, Barnaul, Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo). Novosibirsk is the most modern of them, and the most advanced!

FFVII:

The city is grey, dreary, uncomfortable; There are many pensioners on the streets, the roads are broken, there is no cultural program. I looked at the Vkontakte groups – none of the normal musicians go there, only the second echelon and some “played their own”

Taganrog

Founded in 1698.

Population: 253,587 people.

The first city in Russia, built by Peter the Great according to a regular plan, became home to more than a hundred nationalities. The first Russian naval base, the first Russian port on the open sea coast, the “city of military glory”, Chekhov’s birthplace – all this is Taganrog.

The mild coastal climate attracts everyone who is tired of the endless dullness and cold. Dry air is compensated by sea breezes. Everything is in order with the ecology in the city: nothing prevents you from enjoying the freshness and aroma of the sea.

In terms of criminogenicity, Taganrog does not exceed the average Russian level: a total of 3216 crimes per year. But, unfortunately, the city cannot boast of natural growth: those who appreciate the lightness of life remain here. One way or another, Taganrog is more suitable for people who have already found themselves in their declining years, who want to spend their last moments of life on the seashore, as in the movie “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”.

Andrei:

I recently live in Taganrog. As long as the pros outweigh the cons, I don’t regret moving.

Clean air that you can’t breathe. You don’t even want to go home. Delicious and cheap fish. Warm sea. Food is tastier than in big cities, I don’t know why. Calm and measured. No traffic jams. Lots of greenery.

Larisa:

I don’t like the city, the locals are very angry, ill-mannered, envious. Mayor is shit. Utilities are disgusting, low voltage, terrible water in the tap [and in the sea, if you can call it that. In general, very, very bad. There are no specialists, no doctors, no clothes. And so the city is beautiful, but only come and go.

The best cities with a loyal attitude towards visitors

Moving to the best cities to live can be difficult due to the migration policies of countries. To obtain a residence permit, in most cases, you need to have a good reason: for example, to receive an invitation to work in a country or to marry a citizen of it.

Some countries offer visas, residency or citizenship to investors. To take part in the investment program, applicants invest a certain amount in the development of the economy of the selected state: they make a subsidy, open a business, buy real estate.

Investment programs operate in Portugal, Greece, Spain and Malta. In the USA, you can get a visa for investment. In Austria and Switzerland, cosmopolitans receive a residence permit for financially independent persons: with it you can live in the country, but you cannot work and do business.

Of the top 10 cities to live in, only four are available for relocation under the investment program: New York, Los Angeles, Madrid and Barcelona. We have selected several more cities in countries where cosmopolitans can get a residence permit or a visa for investment. We tell you where it is comfortable to live, relax and do business, and where it is profitable to buy real estate.

We tell you which countries have the best citizenship programs for investors and how to become a member of them: costs, terms, special conditions

The cleanest and most comfortable city . It has largely retained its historical appearance: the townspeople take care of the old buildings.

Vienna is also famous for coffee houses, cultural events, museums and universities.

Vienna ranked first in the ranking of cities with the best environment. There are many parks here, and locals prefer public transport to private cars.

Vienna consistently ranks first in the rankings of the best cities to live in. In 2018 and 2019, she was recognized as the best by The Economist’s The Global Liveability Index. And from 2010 to 2019, she got the first place in the rating of quality of life in cities, which is compiled by Mercer.

Austria offers wealthy people to obtain a residence permit for financially independent persons. Investment is not required, but it must be confirmed that the applicant and his family have enough money to live in the country. This program was created specifically for those who want to move: according to its conditions, you need to spend at least 183 days a year in Austria.

How to get to the USA and the European Union without visas with a Russian passport?

None. But with a residence permit and second citizenship – without visas and problems.

Best city for quality of life

Zurich, the financial capital of Switzerland, ranked 36th. The city is good for life, and for work, and for doing business.

Zurich is a well-groomed and safe city. There is a high standard of living, few unemployed. And here are the offices of several companies from the Global Fortune 500: for example, Migros, Credit Swiss, UBS Group AG.

Switzerland, like Austria, offers a residence permit for financially independent persons. To obtain and maintain the status, you need to pay a lump-sum tax annually. It is 450,000 ₣. Also, according to the rules, residents spend at least 183 days a year in Switzerland.

Best Cities for Doing Business

In 2020, Startup Genome released the Global Startup Ecosystem 2020 report. It ranks the best cities in the world for startups. The first three positions are occupied by San Francisco, New York and London.

San Francisco tops the rankings with famed Silicon Valley, an area home to many high-tech companies.

In the ranking of the best cities in the world, San Francisco is in 14th place. The experts highly appreciated the opportunities for education and the economy of the city. Also, many educated people and migrants live here, so the city has a rather high cultural level, and it is easier for visitors to integrate into society.

New York ranked second in the ranking of the best cities to live in. He was recognized as the first in cultural life and the second in promotion and popularity among tourists. And there are many opportunities for work and business here: the city ranked fourth in the number of offices of companies from the Global Fortune 500.

The United States offers investors two types of visas. EB5 – passive investor visa: you need to invest at least $ 900,000 in an American company, and it is not necessary to take part in its work. An E2 visa involves opening a business in the country. The amount of investment is not defined, but usually it is from $100,000.

Russians can only get an EB5 visa. This option is not suitable for everyone due to the high amount of investment and the long wait – it will be possible to move only after one and a half to two years.

To obtain an E2 visa, you must be a citizen of a country that has signed an agreement to do so with the United States. For example, Grenada is a state in the Caribbean. There you can get a passport for investments in the economy from $150,000.

To obtain citizenship of Grenada and an E2 visa to the United States, an investor needs to invest at least $250,000. Applicants receive a second passport in 4-6 months. It takes from 2 to 5 months to get a visa. It is faster and cheaper than an EB5 visa.

London is the first in the ranking of the best cities to live in. It took first place in popularity among tourists and second place in cultural life.

London is famous for its high standard of living and business opportunities. This is one of the business capitals of the world: the city ranks fifth in terms of the number of offices of companies from the Global Fortune 500.

London also became the second in terms of infrastructure development: famous museums, parks, and universities are located here. This makes it one of the most convenient cities to live in.

The UK issues a special Investor Visa to wealthy foreigners who invest more than £2 million in business in the country. The visa is issued for three years. It allows you to live, do business and study in the country.

In 2020, 216 investors and 375 members of their families received an investor visa. The result was 40% lower than in 2019. At the same time, the percentage of refusals according to the statements of investors has doubled. But the Russians were not stopped by the crisis and closed borders.

Best city to visit

Lisbon, the capital of neighboring Portugal, ranked 53rd in the ranking. It is a warm and sunny resort town. It’s also safe: Portugal has a low crime rate, and the locals are friendly to tourists.

In 2020, Portugal was recognized as the best holiday destination in Europe. She has collected awards in 26 World Travel Awards nominations. Experts noted not only Lisbon, but also other resorts: Porto, the Algarve region, Madeira and the Azores. Moving to Portugal is suitable for those who choose a place to live by the sea.

To settle in Portugal, cosmopolitans receive a residence permit by investment. The most popular option is the purchase of new real estate in the amount of €500,000 or more: you can immediately buy a house or apartment for yourself and your family to move in. But there are other options as well. The minimum investment amount for the program is 250,000 €.

Best city to buy real estate

Barcelona took eighth place in the ranking of the hundred best cities in the world. It is popular with tourists: the city has many beaches, parks and attractions. And also the sun: the sky is not overcast for about 260 days a year.

Barcelona is regularly ranked among the top 10 most beautiful places to live. In 2019, Flight Network ranked the city 6th out of 50 in a similar ranking.

The coronavirus pandemic has hit the Spanish property market hard. Discounts on housing reach up to 30%, more and more ads with urgent sale marks appear. At the end of 2020, the average cost per square meter in the country was 1391 €. In the summer of the same year, prices were at the level of 1730 € per square meter.

Real estate prices will recover when the borders open and the tourist flow returns. Investors will be able to earn on renting and selling objects or choose a profitable offer for themselves.

To move to Barcelona, you can take part in the Spanish residence permit program by investment. Cosmopolitans invest from 500,000 €. One of the options is buying real estate.

Barcelona, Spain

City of high potential

Athens ranked 29th in the ranking of the best cities to live and do business. The compilers of the rating highly appreciated the sights, museums and nightlife of the city.

Athens has a low cost of living compared to other European countries. According to the Numbeo website, daily expenses there are 46% higher than in Moscow. The same indicator for Barcelona is 60%, and for Vienna it is 71%.

Athens is a pleasant place to live because of its warm climate and proximity to the Aegean Sea. The hottest month is July, with an average daytime temperature of +32.5℃. The water in the sea in August warms up to +26.7 ℃. It is also sunny in the city: there are about 250 clear days a year.

The Greek government is implementing economic reforms aimed at sustainable development and the fight against corruption. The efforts were evaluated by Moody’s: at the end of 2020, the country’s credit rating was raised to Ba3. And the European Commission predicts Greece’s GDP growth by 5% in 2021. The recovery of the country’s economy leads to an increase in the potential of the capital.

Greece issues a residence permit for investment. The minimum investment amount is 250,000 €. Applicants buy real estate, rent hotels or apartments in tourist complexes.

Best cities to live in Europe and the USA

Each city is suitable for certain purposes: for example, to settle in a warm place by the sea, open a new company branch, provide children with a quality education.

It happens differently: the city is chosen for love. We saw it once and wanted to walk along the embankment as often as possible, admire the architecture or drink coffee in that same cafe. Both methods are good in their own way.

When the city is chosen, it remains to decide on the way to move. In some countries, resident status can be obtained for investment. This method is good because you do not have to look for a good reason to move – for example, look for a job and receive an invitation from the employer. 9Spain

Frequently asked questions

How to choose a city to live in Europe?

When choosing a city for moving, at least 6 factors should be taken into account. For example:

how the city treats immigrants;

how much does housing, utilities, internet cost;

what is the level of crime in the city;

are there international schools, universities in the city;

is public transport developed in the city, is it convenient to use it;

what is the ecology and climate in the city, if there are parks and recreation areas.

We talked about these and other criteria in the article “The Best Cities to Live in: Which City to Choose for Living”.

Which European cities have the best climate for living, leisure and business?

London, Vienna, Geneva, Lisbon and Athens are traditionally included in the lists of the best cities to live in Europe.
Features of the best European cities:

London attracts entrepreneurs from all over the world: the city rightfully bears the title of “European business capital”. At the same time, London is distinguished by good ecology – the city has many parks and recreation areas. Most of the parks are the legacy of the aristocratic residences located in the city.

Vienna and Geneva are considered multicultural cities whose residents are loyal to migrants.

Lisbon is a major port city with an excellent climate, where the sun shines for about 2,700 hours a year. The historical center of the city is rich in medieval sights.

The Greek capital of Athens attracts tourists with architectural monuments and tax incentives for new residents.

What status do you need to get in order to live in the best cities of the European Union?

Those wishing to move to any of the EU countries need to obtain a residence permit – temporary or permanent. As a confirmation of status, a resident is issued a residence permit or permanent residence card.
Temporary residence permit (permit) has a limited validity period, usually 1 or 2 years. Therefore, a resident needs to regularly confirm his status and reissue a residence permit card.
Permanent residence permit (permanent residence) can be issued only after a residence permit. To do this, you need to continuously live in the country for at least 5 years. The exception is the program of permanent residence in Malta for investment. The EU countries also issue a permanent residence card for a certain period. For example, a permanent residence card, which is issued under the investment program of Malta, is renewed every 5 years.
You can read about the difference between these statuses in our article.

How much and what do you need to invest in order to get a residence permit or permanent residence in the EU countries?

Several EU countries provide residence permits in exchange for investment. At the same time, each country decides for itself what and how much to invest in.
A residence permit in Portugal can be obtained by purchasing real estate, investing in a business, making a deposit in a Portuguese bank, sponsoring research or projects in the field of culture. The minimum investment amount for the program is €250,000.
A residence permit in Greece is issued to investors if they buy or rent real estate for a total amount of more than 250,000 €. At the same time, the investor has a wide choice: you can buy one or several objects, rent an apartment in a tourist complex, purchase a plot of land for construction and even rent a hotel. A residence permit in Malta does not provide a choice of options. To obtain the status of a resident, an investor needs to fulfill 3 conditions: buy or rent a property on the island, pay a fee and pay an annual tax on global income. The amount of investments under all conditions will be from 220,000 €.
The Maltese permanent residence program also requires the fulfillment of several conditions. An investor needs to buy government bonds, purchase or rent a home, pay a fee and confirm an annual income of 100,000 € or assets worth 500,000 €.

How quickly can I get a residence permit or permanent residence for investments under the programs of the EU countries?

The practice of Immigrant Invest shows that it takes up to 6 months to obtain a residence permit or permanent residence for investment. 70% of this time, the program department checks the investor for reliability – conducts the Due Diligence procedure.
Immigrant Invest has its own compliance department that conducts a preliminary due diligence check. This allows lawyers to prepare a comprehensive package of documents for participation in the program. As a result, the investor receives the status on time and without additional requests from the program department.

Why can an investor be denied a residence permit or permanent residence for investment?

The Program Department may refuse an investor for several reasons:

the applicant has a criminal record, such as financial crime;

have illegal sources of income;

the investor is mentioned in the sanctions lists, the activities of his companies are associated with prohibited organizations;

The investor has been denied a visa, residence permit or citizenship in countries with which the state of application has a visa-free agreement.

Preliminary due diligence from Immigrant Invest allows you to choose the right program and reduce the risk of rejection to 1%.

Cities in Spain with the most favorable climate. How much will it cost to live there? Spain in Russian

06/29/2017

Along with the first month of summer, heat comes to almost the entire territory of Spain. The thermometers are rushing up, but the tone of the majority of the population, on the contrary, is falling. How can you escape the summer heat? Real estate search engine Mitula conducted a study by analyzing how much it costs to live in areas of Spain where you do not have to suffer from heat in summer and cold in winter. These mild climate cities are great for second residences, vacations and capital investments.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The average annual temperature is not lower than 20. 7°C, 2821 hours of sunshine a year, rare rains – that’s what Las Palmas can offer you. This is an ideal place to live and relax at any time of the year.

The air in Las Palmas is much cleaner than in most other Spanish cities, thanks to the constantly blowing trade winds.

The Canary Islands lead among the regions where individual entrepreneurship is actively developing. An important role in this was played by a program to support small and medium-sized businesses, a variety of educational initiatives and a special tax regime that offers a number of benefits. For example, VAT (IVA) on the islands is 7%, and not 21%, as in the rest of Spain. Therefore, many food and fuel are cheaper here. In addition, residents of the islands receive discounts on travel and leisure activities.

If you decide to move to this piece of paradise, you will need a rather impressive budget: a square meter of housing here costs €1,454, which makes Las Palmas one of the most expensive cities in Spain. If we talk about rent, as of May 2017, the average cost of an apartment per month is €848. A room can be rented for €180–€400.

Malaga

Malaga is another of the most expensive Spanish cities (€1,865 per sqm). The climate here is pleasant and warm. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C. Even in the hottest summer months (July and August), average temperatures do not exceed 26°C. The sun is shining here 2905 hours a year. Mountain ranges contribute to the creation of a unique microclimate with surprisingly mild winters. An ideal choice for purchasing a second residence.

If you are not yet ready to buy a property in Malaga, but want to experience all the benefits of living here, look for an apartment or a room for rent. In recent years, the demand for rental housing in Malaga has grown strongly, which has led to higher prices. For example, a three-bedroom apartment will cost €804 per month, a one-bedroom apartment costs €530. Two-bedroom apartments, which are in the highest demand, cost an average of €871 per month. A room can be rented from €150 to €500 per month.

One of the advantages of Malaga is a well-developed system of transport communications. From here you can easily reach anywhere in Spain or the world. Malaga Airport, one of the largest in the country, is located just eight kilometers from the city center.

As for the prices for food and alcohol, they will pleasantly surprise you. The gastronomy of the region offers varied and very tasty dishes. In addition, this food is considered very healthy and is prepared mainly from local products.

In 2015, the capital of the Costa del Sol was recognized as the best Spanish city in terms of quality of life.

Palma de Mallorca

The main city of the Balearic Islands is a real enclave of natural beauty and serenity. A pleasant mild climate with 2780 hours of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of 18°C is its main, but by no means its only advantage.

If you move here, you will have year-round access to magnificent beaches. The beach of Palma, covered with fine white sand and located 14 km from the city center, stretches for 4600 meters and is awarded the Blue Flag.

Not surprisingly, more and more people want to escape to this piece of paradise, but not everyone can afford it: Palma is one of the most expensive cities in Spain (€2,181 per sqm).

As far as rent is concerned, its cost has increased significantly over the past few years: if in 2012 an apartment could be rented for an average of €700 per month, now the same housing will cost about €1000. Foreign investment, the development of tourism and the growth in demand for housing are the main reasons for high prices in the Balearic capital. A more economical option – renting a room – will cost you around €300-€700 per month, depending on location, type of accommodation and rental period. However, this year there was an extremely difficult situation with tourist rentals in the Balearic capital: the authorities forbade residents to rent housing to tourists for the summer under the threat of a fine of up to €40,000.0005

Palma de Mallorca has an excellent transport communications system. The airport is located 20 minutes from the city center. There are also good ferry connections to the mainland (ferries from Valencia, Barcelona and Denia) and the rest of the islands.

Despite its small size, Palma de Mallorca is a city with a very rich cultural life. This space was chosen by poets, writers and artists from all over the world.

The London edition of The Times in 2015 recognized Palma as “the best place in the world to live.”

House or apartment?

Another important question for those who want to spend the summer away from the suffocating heat is what kind of housing to buy? House? An apartment (“piso”)? Apartments? The most popular type of housing in Spain remains apartments (41. 81%), while houses occupy the second line (25.02%). Apartments are gaining popularity in coastal cities and provinces, as well as regions with a mild climate.

An example is Santa Cruz de Tenerife with an average annual temperature of 21.5°C, where apartments account for 27.52% of search queries, in Malaga 25.18% of people interested in buying a home are looking for apartments.

Castellón (21.72%), Almeria (21.19%) and Tarragona (20.51%) are coastal provinces where apartments are also continuing to gain popularity.

Tips of the Zuzako editors of the most warm climatic zones of Russia

to understand where it is better . With their help, you can find the warmest place with the most comfortable climatic conditions.

Areas for comfortable living for pensioners

Very often people of retirement age look for places with the most comfortable climatic conditions. Living in them will help to improve health and recharge with vitality.

Tips for choosing:

Retirees are ideal places with a mild climate. In them, the temperature in summer should not be too high, and in winter – not very low.

Maritime climate is recommended for people of retirement age. It will help to better cope with age-related changes in the body and prevent the development of existing diseases.

If a pensioner suffers from cardiovascular disease, areas with little temperature fluctuations are the best option. Now such conditions are available in regions where there are many deciduous forests.

In most cases, the income level of people of retirement age is quite low. Therefore, it is important that the chosen city has not only a mild climate, but also relatively low prices for essential goods.

Pensioners should choose places with a developed medical infrastructure. This will help to control the state of health and live many happy years.

Regions for comfortable living for families with children

The most careful selection of places to live should be made by families with children. It is very important that the chosen city meets all your requirements and suits the child in terms of climatic indicators.

Tips for choosing:

Families with small children should choose places in the south of the country, where it is warmest in summer and not very cold in winter.

We recommend giving preference to cities with minimal temperature differences. This feature will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the child and help him grow up healthy.

We advise you to choose the hottest places where the air humidity will be minimal. Otherwise, the risk of developing various colds in children, as well as allergic reactions and breathing problems, will increase.

Children need a lot of vitamins necessary for normal growth and development. To replenish their reserves, you need not only to eat right, but also to live in cities with a large number of sunny days a year. Moderate exposure to ultraviolet light activates the production of vitamin D, and also improves metabolism.

When choosing a city, it is also worth paying attention to the level of infrastructure development. If it is low, then living in this place with a child will be uncomfortable.

To live comfortably, some Russians are forced to move to cities with a favorable climate. When choosing one of these settlements, you should pay attention to many factors and small nuances. Reading our article again will help you figure this out and find the best place to live faster. It presents the top cities of Russia with the best climatic conditions in the country.

The most comfortable place to live and at the same time affordable housing is Krasnodar, the Urbanika Institute calculated. When analyzing the 100 largest cities in Russia, St. Petersburg was in the top five, and Moscow took 52nd place

The most important of the top 100 cities in Russia

The Urbanika Institute of Territorial Planning analyzed the 100 largest Russian cities to determine which of them are comfortable and at the same time not very expensive to live in while working in the same city.

Only five out of a hundred cities were classified by urbanists as both comfortable and affordable at the same time: in descending order, these are Krasnodar, Surgut, St. Petersburg, Tyumen and Kaluga.

25 cities became “relatively affordable”. Of these, only four are millionaires – St. Petersburg, Perm, Chelyabinsk and Krasnoyarsk.

Many of the “relatively affordable” are industrial cities, combining relatively high average wages with relatively low real estate and basic goods and services. For example, Murmansk is in 14th place due to the low cost of real estate – the city’s population is decreasing, and many apartments are being sold in it.

Almost all industrial cities leading in terms of cheapness of life are at the bottom of the list in terms of environmental quality.

According to the rating, 23 cities can be considered comfortable for life, including seven million-plus cities – St. Petersburg, Ufa, Yekaterinburg, Rostov, Samara, Voronezh, Kazan. This group included several cities in southern Russia due to the favorable climate – in particular, Sochi and Stavropol.

Moscow took only 52nd place in the rating. The main reason is the high cost of living compared to the average salary. Among the negative factors are the low provision of residents with housing (one of the last places among Russian cities), as well as traffic jams and low environmental performance.

Who is in the lead

The rating is headed by Krasnodar, which has been actively developing in the last 10–15 years and will soon become a millionaire in terms of population, notes Urbanica’s managing partner Fedor Konkov. Krasnodar came out on top because it scored high in terms of climate, residential and commercial development, combined with relatively low costs.

Surgut and Tyumen took second and fourth places. This was primarily due to high salaries, combined with a high standard of living and the livability of the urban environment. Tyumen, like Krasnodar, is a rapidly growing city: in recent years, its population has grown from 400,000 to 800,000 people.

There is only one million-plus city in the top five — St. Petersburg. The ratio of wages and the cost of buying and renting housing in this city is unfavorable, but life in it is characterized by low utility costs compared to wages, a good environmental situation and a good housing supply. In St. Petersburg, on average, there are more than 26 square meters per person. m, and, for example, in Moscow – 20 sq. m.

Who are the outsiders

Cities that took the last places in the ranking lag behind the leaders both in terms of the quality of the urban environment and the cost of living. The only exception was Sevastopol – it scored more than 60% of the possible scores in terms of environmental quality, but due to expensive rental housing, the high cost of utilities and the low availability of high-quality trade facilities, it ended up at the bottom of the rating.

The last place is Ussuriysk. The authors of the rating explain this position by the low income of the citizens, combined with not very cheap housing, in addition, there are few shopping centers in the city, low retail trade turnover, few new improvement projects and low lighting.

Who counted and how

The integral rating of Russian cities includes 100 cities with a population of over 173 thousand people. It did not take into account such cities near Moscow as Balashikha, Podolsk, Khimki, Korolev, etc.: they are suitable in terms of population, but in terms of territorial and economic structure they are part of Moscow, the authors of the rating believe.

Norilsk was not included in the rating – due to the specific climatic, social and economic conditions, it could not be objectively assessed in relation to other cities. The overwhelming majority of Norilsk residents go to the city to work in order to save money for housing in another region, they say in Urbanika, Norilsk has no transport connectivity and there is no primary housing market. As a result, the combination of cheap housing and high incomes would have brought him to the top ten in the ranking, but the authors of the study considered this to be incorrect.

Each city could score 100 points in the rating, which consisted of the indicators of the two groups. In each group, the city could score 50 points.

The first group assessed the quality of the environment: provision of housing (per person), the presence of modern retail formats (the area of modern shopping centers), the level of congestion of urban roads, the level of crime, the level of urban amenities, lighting, favorable climatic conditions, transport accessibility (the presence of an airport , railway station, etc.), air pollution index.

The second group took into account the cost of services: the possibility of acquiring one’s own housing, the possibility of renting a one-room apartment, the level of current expenses and housing and communal services, purchasing power. The indicators of the second group were calculated based on the level of average wages in the city.

Rosstat became the main source of data. In addition, information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, real estate market consultants, and climatic indicators of the area was used.

Institute of Territorial Planning “Urbanica” is engaged in consulting and design in the field of urban planning. He has implemented more than 250 projects, including taking part in the development of Greater Moscow, in drawing up concepts for the spatial development of Sevastopol and Irkutsk.

How the ratings are used

The rating of Russian cities makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of city policies to increase the attractiveness of the city for the life of its citizens, according to Urbanika.

In November, the Ministry of Construction presented an urban environment quality index based on a study of 1,114 cities. In making decisions, the authorities of the regions will obviously rely on the rating of the ministry, since its indicators are tied to the indicators of the national project “Housing and the urban environment,” Evgeny Plisetsky, deputy director of the Institute for Regional Studies and Urban Planning at the Higher School of Economics, believes.

The Ministry of Construction Index takes into account only indicators that relate to the urban environment, without taking into account the cost of living. Therefore, its results are very different from the Urbanica rating. All existing ratings of cities are quite subjective, Plisetsky is sure. Subjectivity, according to him, is determined by what set of indicators is taken for calculation and how they are aggregated.

“Moscow will obviously take first place in infrastructure ratings. If the indicator of the commissioning of new metro stations was considered, Moscow would be in space, and St. Petersburg would be very far behind. And if the rating included an indicator of biological diversity in a city, which many European cities now rely on, or data on soil pollution, Moscow would be far behind, ”says Mikhail Klimovsky, an urbanist, adviser to the rector of ITMO.

According to him, cities can use the rankings as a source of growth points for themselves. But for this, it is necessary to focus on those indicators that are important to develop in the city, and analyze not only quantitative, but also qualitative indicators.

▷ Las Canteras, la famosa playa de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

La playa de Las Canteras es uno de los principales sitios que visitar en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. También es el parque urbano de los grancanarios los 365 días del año. Esta gran playa de la capital de Gran Canaria cuenta con aproximadamente tres kilómetros de longitud. Además, es considerada una de las playas más importantes de Canarias y de España. De hecho, posee varios reconocimientos a nivel nacional e internacional.

Playa de Las Canteras, zona de La Puntilla

A lo largo de la playa tenemos el paseo de Las Canteras en donde podrás encontrar una amplia oferta gastronómica, hotelera y de ocio en general. A continuación te vamos a hacer un recorrido por toda la playa para que no te pierdas nada. ¡Vamos!

Todo sobre la playa de Las Canteras

La playa de Las Canteras se divide en varias zonas donde incluso el color de la arena varía. No obstante, por lo general, se caracteriza por sus aguas cristalinas y arena rubia. Asimismo, uno de los elementos a destacar de Las Canteras es el arrecife que recorre gran parte de ella. Nosotros lo llamamos La Barra. Gracias a La Barra, gran parte de la playa no tiene un oleaje muy fuerte, ya que ésta hace de rompeolas. Cuando la marea está baja, los residentes solemos nadar hasta La Barra. La podemos ver al fondo en la siguiente foto.

Marea baja en Las Canteras, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Así, podemos ver la playa desde otro punto de vista y darnos un baño en alta mar. De la misma manera, si el mar no está revuelto, podrás hacer snorkel y divisar las especies que residen junto a este arrecife. A destacar la vieja de la costa canaria.

Playa de Las Canteras y La Barra en mitad del océano

Servicios de la playa

En cuanto a sus servicios, dispone de varias zonas donde alquilar hamacas y sombrillas, balnearios, duchas, taquillas, parque para niños, vigilancia y socorristas. Además, es accesible para personas con movilidad reducida, incluso para el baño. La playa de Las Canteras también posee la distinguida bandera azul europea desde 1989. Debes saber que, tras consulta a los ciudadanos de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, está prohibido fumar en toda la playa desde finales de 2017. Finalmente, ten en cuenta que está abierta al baño todo el año gracias al buen clima de la isla.

¿Cuántos kilómetros tiene la playa de Las Canteras?

Las Canteras tiene 2.250m de longitud. Si hablamos de la distancia de su paseo, podemos llegar casi a los 4 kilómetros desde el Auditorio hasta La Puntilla.

Zonas de Las Canteras

✔ Auditorio Alfredo Kraus

A continuación te haremos un breve resumen de las maravillas que te encontrarás a lo largo de todo el paseo de Las Canteras. Es decir, desde el Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, hasta La Puntilla. No obstante, lo ideal es que te des un paseo de lado a lado para que aprecies tú mismo toda su belleza. Empezamos por el Auditorio Alfredo Kraus. Un edificio dedicado principalmente a la divulgación de actividades culturales y congresos con el nombre del tenor canario.

Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

✔ La Cícer, surf en Las Canteras

Si empezamos el Paseo de Las Canteras desde el Auditorio Alfredo Kraus nos encontramos con la zona de La Cícer. De arena negra y alguna que otra piedra. Zona de surf y body board por excelencia, así como apta para practicar otros deportes. Por ello, suele ser muy frecuentada por gente joven. En esta zona podrás recibir clases de surf, hay muchísimas escuelas y cursos diariamente.

Surf en La Cicer, Las Canteras

✔ Peña La Vieja

Si continuas andando, te encontrarás con la Peña La Vieja. Se caracteriza por tener muy cerca de la orilla una sobresaliente roca llamada Peña La Vieja. Normalmente los jóvenes la escalan y saltan desde ella hacia el mar. Asimismo, como podrás ver a continuación, aquí el arrecife llega hasta la orilla, por lo que con marea baja es difícil nadar.

Helados Peña La Vieja

Igualmente, en esta parte de la playa está una de las mejores heladerías artesanas de la isla: la Heladería Peña La Vieja. Además, es de los pocos sitios de Gran Canaria en donde podrás tomarte una buena horchata de chufa. Ten en cuenta que solo venden helados para llevar, es decir, no tienen mesas. De todos modos, ¿qué mejor plan que andar por el paseo de Las Canteras tomándote un helado o una horchata bien fresquita? Nuestro favorito el de té verde y el de chocolate negro con naranja. Ñam.

✔ Playa Chica y Muro Marrero

Playa Chica y Muro Marrero se encuentran justo delante de La Barra y el mar aquí está plato. Además, en Playa Chica se forma una pequeña bahía, de ahí su nombre y, es aquí donde se instalan las familias. Asimismo, como podrás ver, en esta zona de la Playa de Las Canteras el agua está espectacularmente cristalina.

Zona de Playa Chica, Las Canteras

✔ Playa Grande, la zona más turística de Las Canteras

Seguidamente te toparás con Playa Grande, zona más ancha de la playa de Las Canteras. Junto a esta parte encontrarás parques para niños en la arena, alquiler de hamacas y sombrillas e incluso la posibilidad de colocar redes para jugar al tenis playa o voleibol. Aquí es donde encontrarás las rampas habilitadas para personas con movilidad reducida para acceder a la arena y al agua. Por lo que respecta a su mar, es ideal para nadar, practicar buceo y/o snorkel. En Playa Grande se concentran los hoteles y apartamentos. Es donde en su día la ciudad vio aflorar un boom turístico, sobre todo de nórdicos.

Playa grande, playa de Las Canteras

✔ La Puntilla

Pasada Playa Grande, llegamos a la zona de pescadores de La Puntilla y, por tanto, el final de Las Canteras. Desde aquí podrás disfrutar de atardeceres mágicos, así como fotografiar las barquitas de los pescadores que te mostramos en la foto inicial de este post. Igualmente, si sigues andando hacia la playa de El Confital verás rincones como el que te mostramos a continuación, conocido como Los Nidillos.

Las Canteras Beach – World Class Beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Canteras beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a great mix of sun, sea and sand and a world-class beach

Playa Las Canteras is the main beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the best city beach in the Canary Islands and probably in all of Spain. We would go as far as saying that Las Canteras beach is one of the top city beaches in the world, due to its privileged location, year-round mild climate and top amenities, which you will notice for sure if you decide to visit.

Las Canteras – the best city beach in the Canary Islands

Playa Las Canteras is without a doubt the best urban beach in the Canary Islands since Las Palmas is the largest city in the archipelago and the beach is the heart and soul of Gran Canaria’s capital.

Las Canteras was also nominated many times as one of the best city beaches in Spain, along with other popular beaches like La Concha beach in San Sebastian or Malvarossa beach in Valencia.

Due to its vantage points, Las Canteras can also easily compete for the title of best city beach in Europe and even for the title of best city beach in the world.

Why is Las Canteras such an amazing beach?

Las Canteras is located in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the 9th largest city in Spain

Being part of the Canary Islands (and implicitly a Spanish territory) means that Las Palmas is an Outermost Region of the European Union, which means that especially European citizens can easily travel here while enjoying all the benefits of a territory that is part of Spain

You can sunbathe on Las Canteras even in winter, due to the island’s geographical location, which makes the climate in Las Palmas great all-year-round

Las Canteras is part of a lively area of Las Palmas, with many bars and restaurants from various international cuisines

Las Canteras beach is easily accessible on foot since it’s right in the city and it’s also a wheelchair-friendly beach

The beach is long and with many facilities, with dedicated areas both for sunbathing and surfing

The beach Las Canteras is protected by a natural reef, which makes it extremely safe for swimming and great for snorkeling

Las Canteras has been a Blue Flag beach since 1989

As you can see, Las Canteras checks a lot of boxes in terms of attributes of a great city beach: it’s in a large city part of a European country, it has a great climate all year round and you can enjoy the beach in winter as well, plus it’s easy to get around without a car.

What to do around Las Canteras beach

Las Canteras is a huge beach with more than 3 km of sand and promenade along its shores, so there’s something to do for everyone.

Auditorium Alfredo Kraus

This is a cultural building that bears the name of a Canarian tenor and it’s located next to the beach in the southern part. You can walk around the building, rest on one of the benches, admire the waves crashing or chill under the big palm trees.

La Cicer – the surfer’s section in Las Canteras

La Cicer and the Auditorium in the background

Close to the Auditorium, you have the section of beach which is dedicated to surfers and it’s known as La Cicer. La Cicer is where the natural reef ends and so the area gets great waves and there are many surfing shops and surfing schools in the area. It’s also a nice place to hang out and just watch the surfers catching the waves.

Peña La Vieja rock

If you continue walking from La Cicer towards the north of the beach you will see the rock called Peña La Vieja, which some people climb on in order to jump in the water. The landscape is very transformed by the tide, so if the tide is low you can’t really swim in this area.

El Charcon and Los Lisos

A great spot for snorkeling around Las Canteras beach at low tide (you can even see the reef, where the waves crash)

These 2 areas are great for snorkeling when the tide is low, as some natural pools are revealed and you can easily watch all the beautiful marine life around Las Canteras.

These two areas are really interesting to explore and we usually spend a lot of time just watching the fish and crabs, or looking for sea glass.

Playa Chica

Playa Chica comes after El Charcon and Los Lisos and there is a small bay, which is why it’s called Playa Chica (Little Beach). The water here is very clear and calm, thanks to the protection offered by the natural reef La Barra.

El Penon and Playa Grande (big beach)

Las Canteras is located in the heart of Las Palmas, great for those looking for a vibrant city with an accessible beach year-round

These two sections, El Penon and Playa Grande, are the largest parts of Las Canteras Beach.

In these sections is where you can find sunbeds, umbrellas and lifeguards on the beach. There are also public toilets, showers, lockers and some parks for kids to play.

The price for a sunbed or an umbrella in Las Canteras beach was 3€in January 2022 when we last visited.

This is the largest and most popular part of Las Canteras, where the beach section is wide, with golden sand and clear water, ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

Playa Grande is ideal for families with kids visiting Las Canteras.

Smoking on Las Canteras beach has been forbidden since 2017!

La Puntilla

Las Canteras beach ends with the area known as La Puntilla, which is the fishing area and here you’ll find many restaurants that serve fresh fish and seafood. From this point, you can admire the beautiful boats and you also have an overview of the entire golf of Las Canteras. It’s also a good spot to watch the sunset in Las Canteras.

Parking close to Las Canteras beach

Where to park if you come to Las Canteras by car?

Parking next to Las Canteras is usually difficult and getting a free spot is nearly impossible (this is very important to know from the start).

There are several paid parking close to the beach, with prices around 10€ – 15€ per day or 35€ per week.

Parking Padre Cueto is in a very good position next to the beach and also Parking Luis Morote.

Parking Intermodal El Rincón is located close to Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and Las Arenas Shopping Center and it’s and outdoor car park that costs only 2,5€ per day and also includes 2 one way tickets for the bus, in order to allow for the decongestion of the main area near the beach.

Aparcamiento Sanapú is also good and it’s located in the opposite side of the beach, near Poema del Mar and the cruise ship harbor.

Perfectly clean, secure and well appointed apartment.

Excellent, spotless, good size apartment, perfect for couples, within a few 100 metres of the local shopping centre and playa (good beach, walks, surfing, bars and small restaurants).
Bus stop outside apartment building was somewhat useful, although taxis were cheap and passd frequently.
Sergio and his wife were very helpful and welcoming, providing lots of tourist info and recommendations, as well as a basket of fruit and other goodies.
Overall, an excellent base within easy walking distance or short commute from beach, shops, restaurants and main bus station – for touring further afield.
Buses in Gran Canaria are excellent – we had a transfer booked to the airport, to allow us to carry on further to Maspalomas, but we cancelled it and used a direct bus instead, as it was more convenient.

La playa de Las Canteras, en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: snorkel, surf, restaurantes, hoteles…

La demostración de que Las Palmas de Gran Canaria es mucho más que sol y playa es, precisamente, su playa más famosa: Las Canteras. Olvídate de tumbarte al sol vuelta y vuelta y darte un baño para refrescarte. La playa de Las Canteras es, aunque no seas un fan de la arena y la sal –como nosotros–, visita obligada en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Sea cómo y desde dónde sea: desde el paseo, desde el agua, desde la arena, desde la tabla de surf… es, como hemos contado en otro artículo, uno de los imprescindibles que tienes que ver en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Nunca se aburre uno en Las Canteras. Para empezar, el color de la arena va cambiando del dorado al negro. Para continuar, hay infinidad de “pequeñas playas” y otros puntos geográficos con nombre propio: desde El Charcón hasta Peña la Vieja. Y, para terminar, esa sensación de estar en casa al poco de poner un pie en ella… o, al menos, así nos sentimos nosotros tras unos cuantos paseos.

La playa de Las Canteras: más de tres kilómetros que unen Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

El istmo de Guanarteme, el que une la Isleta, el pico que sobresale al noreste en el mapa de Gran Canaria, con el resto de la isla, se transformó por completo en el siglo XX. Sobre el istmo, que antes no era más que un enorme arenal que se cubría por completo con la marea alta, se empezaron a levantar edificios. Además, se ganó terreno al mar por el lado oriental, donde se construyó el puerto. Antes, la playa de Las Canteras se unía con las de la Isleta. Hoy se extiende “sólo” algo más de tres kilómetros.

Lo que no ha cambiado es la atracción que ejerce sobre palmenses y visitantes. Es un imán para los ojos que siempre la buscan siguiendo las calles que llegan al mar. Es el lugar por excelencia al que ir a relajarse y a entretenerse. El sustituto del bar donde tomarse el vermú en otra ciudad. Del paseante que camina al deportista que corre; del que se tumba en su arena a tomar el sol al que se calza unas aletas y se lanza a sus aguas; del que se sienta en una terraza con vistas al que escucha un concierto en un auditorio con vistas… ¿Quién querría alejarse de ella?

Una de las mejores playas urbanas del mundo

Seguro que estás pensando que, al haber cambiado tanto la fisonomía del paisaje en el que se encuentra, también habrá cambiado la calidad de sus aguas. Pues no. A pesar de estar en plena ciudad –y no una cualquiera, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria es una gran urbe de casi cuatrocientos mil habitantes, la novena ciudad de España–, la playa de Las Canteras es una de las más limpias y cuidadas del país.

Adelante con los títulos: bandera azul de la Unión Europea, bandera de la Q de calidad turística, certificado ISO de gestión ambiental, certificado de accesibilidad universal… Y, más allá de sus méritos sobre el papel, no hace falta más que asomarse a sus aguas para admirar su transparencia y poner un pie en la arena para comprobar su limpieza –tres turnos de limpieza diarios–. ¿Todo eso en una playa urbana? Sí, pero en una playa urbana que está en el corazón de los palmenses y que la cuidan como si fuera –y en muchos casos, por el tiempo que pasan en ella, lo es– el salón de su casa.

Por cierto, si quieres alquilar una moto de agua, saltar en una banana o navegar en una lancha, Las Canteras no es tu playa. La única lancha con motor que puede acercarse es la de la Cruz Roja. Tampoco está permitido encender fuego: ni siquiera la noche de San Juan. ¡Quién encendería una hoguera en mitad de su salón! La vida marina lo agradece y quien quiere que siga como está también.

El paseo marítimo de la playa de las Canteras: un museo al aire libre

Nosotros somos más de caminar que de tumbarnos en la arena o incluso de nadar, así que el paseo marítimo de Las Canteras fue nuestro “terreno de juego” en varios paseos. Tenemos que admitir que, en general, los edificios construidos en primera línea de playa no son los más bonitos. Pero la arena, que va cambiando de dorada a negra, y las aguas cristalinas del mar están al otro lado.

Tres kilómetros de paseo al lado de la playa. No te agobies, además de las terrazas de bares y restaurantes, también hay bancos en los que sentarse y árboles bajo los que cobijarse del sol. La tranquilidad del océano frenado por La Barra, la energía de los surfistas, los detalles de las estatuas de arena… ¡sólo con pensarlo me entran ganas de volver!

El alguna de las ocasiones en que nuestra vista se dirigió tierra adentro, nos encontramos con un sorprendente museo al aire libre. El paseo de Las Canteras está lleno de esculturas, a este lado no de arena. ¿Los protagonistas? Personajes populares y playeros de lo más variado: de Jacques Cousteau a Mary Sánchez pasando por pescadores y nadadores anónimos.

Los grafitis también tienen su sitio en la playa de Las Canteras

Más allá de las estatuas, en el paseo de Las Canteras también hay lugar para los murales: los grafitis reclamaron a gritos nuestra atención. Nos sorprendió la cantidad, y calidad, de arte urbano que vimos por las calles de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Y, evidentemente, no podía faltar en la playa. ¿Quién no tiene un cuadro en el salón de su casa?

Desde animales marinos hasta alusiones a esa leyenda que ubica los restos no hundidos de la Atlántida en las Islas Canarias. Todos los grafitis, como no podía ser de otra forma, están relacionados con el mar. Y el azul es el gran protagonista.

La Barra, el acuario natural de Las Canteras que nos asombró

Llegaba el momento de bajar a la arena. Pero, como ya hemos dicho no somos muy de tumbarnos a tomar el sol, decidimos que iríamos directos al agua. Eso sí, no al agua a chapotear, al agua a meternos dentro de un auténtico acuario natural con gafas y tubo de snorkel.

Foto: Snorkeling Experience

Nos habían dicho que la cantidad de fauna que había en la playa de Las Canteras era abrumadora. Pero todavía no podemos creernos que, nada más meter el pie en el agua y sentarnos para colocarnos las aletas, estuviéramos rodeados de peces. ¡Hasta nos contaron que un niño se asustó al verse rodeado de semejante cantidad de peces!

Efectivamente, es abrumadora. Pero nosotros no nos asustamos, nosotros alucinamos. Antes de entrar, Maite, de Snorkeling Experience, nos había mostrado los distintos tipos de animales marinos que podríamos ver, pero ni por asomo pensamos que los veríamos todos y en tal cantidad. Pejeverdes, viejas, sargos, pepinos de mar… ¡y estrellas marinas enormes! ¿Quién necesita ir a un acuario artificial si aquí puedes ver tanta fauna en libertad?

Foto: Snorkeling Experience

La “culpa” la tienen la limpieza del agua y La Barra: una línea de roca casi paralela a la playa que sirve de protección frente a las corrientes externas. Este parapeto convierte a Las Canteras en un acuario natural. Por cierto, el mejor momento para disfrutar de toda la vida marina es cuando hay marea baja. Cuando lo hicimos nosotros, coincidió la marea baja con la primera hora de la mañana, casi sin gente es espectacular. Eso sí, según Maite, por la noche es todavía más impresionante.

¿Sabías que…?

El nombre de la playa está asociado al uso que se dio a La Barra: se utilizó como cantera de la que sacar roca sedimentaria con la que construir edificios en la ciudad, entre ellos la catedral de Canarias.

Anteriormente se conocía como playa del Arrecife también por La Barra, porque parecía un arrecife cuando asomaba con la marea baja.

Surf en la playa de Las Canteras: el ambiente “surfero” en La Cícer

Decía que en Las Canteras están prohibidas las actividades que impliquen un motor en el agua… pero eso no significa que no puedas coger velocidad sobre una tabla. La zona conocida como “La Cícer” es territorio surfer. De hecho Peter Troy, un surfer australiano de mediados del siglo XX, la definió como “el Hawái del Atlántico”. Fue aquí donde se comenzó a practicar el surf en la isla en 1970. Y hoy Las Palmas de Gran Canaria es una de las ciudades que integran la red mundial de ciudades del surf.

En la Cícer, además de los surfistas con sus tablas esperando la ola perfecta en el agua, también hay varias escuelas de surf –con niveles que van desde el aprendizaje más básico hasta el perfeccionamiento–, bares de ambiente surfer y un montón de tiendas con ropa y accesorios. Porque el hecho de que no seas capaz de mantenerte un segundo en pie sobre la tabla, como nosotros, no impide que vistas como un auténtico pro.

Además del surf, también tienen su hueco en Las Canteras el bodyboard y el paddle surf y hasta la piragua y el kayak. Eso sí, si lo tuyo es el kite, ésta no es tu playa: está prohibido para no molestar a los bañistas y paseantes.

¿Sabías que…?

La CICER, Compañía Insular Colonial de Electricidad y Riegos, tenía una central eléctrica aquí. Hoy en día desmantelada, sigue en el recuerdo de los palmenses que se refieren a esta zona de la playa con su nombre.

Más cultura en Las Canteras: de la música al cine

Más allá de las esculturas y los murales del paseo marítimo, la playa de Las Canteras está enmarcada entre dos hitos culturales relacionados con el cine uno y con la música el otro.

En La Puntilla, el extremo norte de la playa, se rodaron algunas escenas de Moby Dick. Aquella en la que Gregory Peck se metía en la piel del capitán Ahab a las órdenes de John Huston en los años 50. Su famosa ballena blanca se construyó en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, en unos talleres del puesto de la Luz por parte de carpinteros de ribera.

Al otro extremo, un poco más de tres kilómetros de arenas doradas después, se alza el Auditorio Alfredo Kraus. Decía que se puede disfrutar de un concierto con vistas y así es: en su sala sinfónica hay un enorme ventanal con vista al mar. Lamentablemente, nosotros no pudimos disfrutar de la vista porque, durante la visita, la sala estaba preparada para un espectáculo y el ventanal cubierto.

Restaurantes en Las Canteras: comida con vistas

Como decía, son muchos los bares y restaurantes que se encuentran en el paseo de la playa de Las Canteras. A pesar de haber estado cuatro días en la ciudad y de alojarnos casi en la misma playa, no comimos en ella todas las veces. Probamos la comida de El Dorado –muy buenas las papas arrugadas con mojo y el polvito uruguayo– y el desayuno de La Oliva el último día –todavía boquiabiertos al recordar el tamaño de la tortilla francesa con jamón y queso–.

Fue después del snorkel en la playa cuando llegó el momento goloso. Maite nos aconsejó tomarnos un dulce en Guirlache La Praliné y allá que fuimos a probar un semifrío de chocolate. ¡Gracias por el consejo! También nos recomendó comer un helado en Peña La Vieja, pero ese día ya llevábamos suficiente azúcar y luego no tuvimos ocasión.

Echa un vistazo a nuestro artículo Dónde comer en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria si te has quedado con hambre… No todos los restaurantes de la ciudad están en el paseo marítimo.

Hoteles en Las Canteras

He dicho que dormimos casi en la misma playa. Aunque la puerta del Wavia Hotel no daba directamente a Las Canteras, está al lado y sí que podíamos verla desde la terraza de nuestra habitación mientras comíamos el desayuno –se puede desayunar en la habitación o en La Oliva en el paseo marítimo–.

Lo más llamativo del hotel es su decoración: las paredes de las habitaciones están cubiertas con imágenes de los fondos marinos de la isla. Cada una tiene el nombre de una playa y las imágenes son de ella. Eso, unido a las luces led, te lleva a pensar que estás en el fondo del mar. Si buscas un pequeño hotel con encanto en Las Canteras, es tu sitio, aquí puedes ver los precios y disponibilidad.

Una playa que lo tiene todo y por la que ya merece la pena viajar a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. El salón de los palmenses tiene suelo de arena dorada.

In addition, the city has a rich history and many attractions! Las Palmas is a cosmopolitan, interesting and dynamic city!

El Real de Las Palmas, was founded in 1478 by a Spanish military unit that camped here. In 1492, the city gained fame thanks to Columbus, who stopped in the town during his first trip to America. Today, it is a modern and large cosmopolitan city full of life and charm, with five beaches and an important port.

If you are looking for a place with a great climate, good beaches and a big city atmosphere, Las Palmas is the perfect choice!

Attractions

Pit Bandama
This is a volcanic cauldron 10 km from the city, a well-known place from a geological point of view. You can go down to the base (half an hour’s journey), here you can take a closer look at the various and colorful forms of volcanic eruptions, as well as local Canarian plants. The pit and Bandama peak are part of a natural monument. The monument is open every day from 9:00 to 18:00.

St. Anne’s Square

The square is located in the heart of the old town. Here is located the Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace and the beautiful buildings of the Municipality. The construction of St. Anne’s Cathedral began in 1497 and, due to lack of funds, was completed only in 1998.

Palace of Light

This is the first defensive building-fortress built in 1484 on the island after its conquest. The palace is located in the modern Port area and is used for cultural events and exhibitions.

Las Canteras Beach

This is a unique beach with light yellow sand and a beautiful promenade, a favorite place for the inhabitants of the city, who call it the “Pearl of Las Palmas”. The beach is unique in that it is separated from the ocean by a natural reef parallel to the shore, thus obtaining a natural pool where there are no big waves and the water is warmer than in the open ocean.

Santa Catalina Park

The park is located near Las Canteras Beach and is one of the most popular places in the city. The park hosts many concerts and events, it is also the main stage of the world-famous carnival, there are many open-air cafes. The park houses the Science Museum and the Miller Building.

Alfred Kraus Auditorium

Designed by the architect Oskar Tuskets, this is one of the most famous buildings in the city. The auditorium is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

La Isleta

This is a mountainous area located in the area of La Isleta. Here you should visit the El Confital beach and the Las Coloradas area, which offer incredible views of the city.

Museums

Canaries Museum

This museum is open all year round and is dedicated to the history of the island, and more specifically to the aborigines. It has a large collection of pre-Hispanic archaeological artifacts.

House of Columbus

This museum is located in the house where the great navigator stayed for several days during his first journey in August 1492. The museum has 13 rooms with many interesting exhibits, such as old nautical charts, ship models, navigational instruments, replicas of idols. ..

Tour of Las Palmas – the capital of Gran Canaria

Las Palmas – the capital of Gran Canaria, one of the Spanish Canary Islands in northwest Africa. The city is a major port for cruise ships and is known for its duty-free shops and sandy beaches, and has recently become a popular wintering destination for digital nomads and remote people. Playa de Las Canteras is covered with a coral barrier that protects swimmers and provides easy access to the water and children. Carnival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is held here every year, bringing together artists in colorful costumes, performing music and dancing.

Santa Catalina Park

The gateway to Las Palmas is likely to be the park for most arrivals and at the same time one of the main bus stops, Santa Catalina Park. It is the closest to the local beaches and the city center, making it an ideal starting point for excursions. In the local environment, there is a really large space where there is greenery, there are many cafes around, and there is also a modern building of the Museum of Science and Technology of the Elder.

City beach Las Canteras

The indisputable advantage of Las Palmas is its location, as it has two coasts. This has the advantage that its east coast is used for industry and shipping. The west coast is flanked by the long sandy beach of Las Canteras and the famous promenade stretching almost 5 km. Here, locals go to the best restaurants, sunbathe, swim and relax, as well as play sports.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

Beach view

To the north, where Las Canteras beach begins, you will find La Puntilla Park and some statues overlooking the long golden beach. Be careful if you are traveling to the city with a dog. Dogs are not allowed on the entire promenade, including the beach.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces. com

Promenade

The promenade is really lively. And from the morning hours, when locals come here to run. During the day you will often find lively gardens with restaurants or stalls selling local produce and specialties. And in the evening, couples walk romantically at sunset, which beautifully reddens the entire landscape.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

Las Canteras beach surf area

The beach is divided into two imaginary parts. In the north, it is protected by a coral barrier, so there is a suitable entrance for swimming. But at its southern tip, surfers rule. The waves here are relatively stable and surfers of all levels will find their conditions here, from beginners to experienced surfers. Thus, the inhabitants of the city also choose accommodation according to their preferences, which will be their main daily activities. In the north of the city, beach chairs prefer to stay, and in the south, surfers who are not far from the waves prefer to stay.

For surfing in Las Palmas

Surfing fans of this sport come to the city, but also those who fail on the spot. If you don’t belong to any of the groups, watching more or less successful attempts to impress will be a lot of fun. Photographers also took care of the entertainment, especially during the golden hour, it is almost impossible to take a bad picture.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

View of the Teide

Gran Canaria is less than 2 hours by ferry from Tenerife with its landmark Pico de Teide. And it is on this highest mountain in Spain, 3 and 3/4 km high, that the inhabitants of the western coast of Las Palmas have a beautiful view, albeit from afar.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

Ferry port

If we move to the east coast of Las Palmas, apart from a really big ferry port that takes you to all the Canary Islands and beyond, it’s not much fun will be. The coast is bordered by the main road connecting the city with the resorts in the south of the island.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

Luz Castle

But even here, on the otherwise industrialized east coast, you’ll find a piece of history worth stopping by. This is the 15th century Castillo de la Luz, which served as the defense of the city and originally stood on a rock isolated from the tide, but as the city has grown, its sea level is now 150 meters.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

East coast view

Further south on the east coast is the historic center of the city, which we did not find so interesting. We decided to at least look at the illuminated city from above. We passed through the gardens at Doramas Park and after a short climb up the hill to the cross at Iglesia Coreana, which offers a beautiful view from the Plaza de Agustín Castillo of the illuminated large steamers in the port.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces. com

El Confital beach

What is interesting about Las Palmas is that on its northern side, where the peninsula is located, right next to the city, there is a large military base that occupies almost the entire territory. Just below the base is the last part of the freely accessible part, this is El Confital beach, which is also popular with surfers, but also with dog breeders. Unlike Las Canteras, dogs are allowed here.

Author: Dominika Charvátová © gigaplaces.com

View of Las Palmas

Behind the barbed wire fence of the military base, which is tactically located on the northernmost hill of the peninsula, there is a beautiful view of the entire city of Las Palmas. And one more interesting thing at the end. Las Palmas, as the capital of Gran Canaria and the capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz always alternates every four years when the city is the capital of all the Canary Islands.

Las Palmas – the capital of the Canary Islands

02/01/2018 18:09

Text and photo: Viktor Polyakov

Perhaps it’s time to finish the story about the trip to the Canary Islands, which lasted a little less than two days. I devoted the entire first day to the 80-kilometer bike ride from the highest peak of Gran Canaria to my apartment, where I collapsed exhausted in the evening.
I had about 5 hours ahead of me to swim in the ocean, sunbathe on the beach, have lunch and explore the capital of the island, in which, in fact, I am. In general, it’s time to hurry.

In the morning I woke up feeling refreshed, made tea and went out to the balcony to admire the surrounding landscapes.

Classical Spanish 5-7 storey city jungles spread out in front of me – residential areas built up with houses of different heights and styles. But if you turn your head to the right, a more optimistic picture emerges – palm trees and the sea!

The city’s main beach, Las Canteras, is a block from my house. For many years now, a blue flag has been fluttering over it, announcing the purity of the local waters. You can swim here all year round, because the Canary Islands are the islands of eternal spring. The air temperature here fluctuates around 20 degrees throughout the year. Water also adheres to this mark. On the one hand, the Atlantic Ocean, on the other, the Sahara desert balance each other, creating here the best climate on Earth.

In late autumn and winter, however, few people swim. Mostly in the off-season, German pensioners rest here, who prefer either to take gentle sunbaths or walk along the water along the soft sand.

The beach stretches for several kilometers, its entire length is illuminated at night, and a promenade has been built along the entire beach, along which you can also walk in the evenings. Many people do this.

The streets in our area are laid out according to the classical block pattern. Some of them are made pedestrian with various cafes and shops.

After swimming, sunbathing for half an hour and waiting for the opening of the eatery near the house, I have breakfast and go to Santa Catalina Park. Here you can catch a bus that runs along the entire city. Also, from here you can go directly to the airport.

It’s too early for me to go to the airport, so I’m wandering around the old town – Vegeta district.

Here, of course, as in every self-respecting old city, there is a lot of devastation that looks quite medieval.

Some streets are so clean and polished that even people are afraid to enter them. Sometimes this creates a feeling of some discomfort. I don’t feel comfortable!

I don’t know why tourists don’t come here in droves. Probably, there are still special places for tourists somewhere here. Or maybe it’s just not the season.

I am in Piazza Santa Ana and in front of me is the Cathedral of the same name, which is the largest religious building in the Canary Islands. I did not go inside the cathedral, but outside I liked the clock in it the most. On the right tower there is a round window, which is not on the left, but the clock was stuck in the left tower. Surely, there is a logical explanation for this, but from the outside I see the classic gouging of the southern peoples – they stuck it in today with the thought that they would remake manyana 🙂

On the right is the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, where, according to the Internet, in the glorious times of the slave trade, services were held for Africans who were taken out for forced labor.

If you get tired of wandering around the medieval quarters of Las Palmas, do not despair, you will always have the opportunity to feel at home by going to the area of panel high-rise buildings, which is already visible on the horizon 🙂

But I have enough of such happiness at home, so I turn into another dead end.

And I find myself in Santo Domingo Square. The Spaniards, both here and in overseas territories, are trying to plant squares with trees, turning them into small parks. This makes it easier to hide from the sun.

To the left goes the huge church of Santo Domingo, and ahead is some kind of narrow chapel. It may be part of a large church complex, I don’t know.

Here I planned to turn right, but someone was unloading something from a gazelle that occupied the entire width of the street. I had to walk around the block.

You can see Santa Ana Cathedral from almost every street in Vegeta.

Another lane led me to some kind of union of religion and law. To the left of the bell tower is the church of San Agustin, to the right is the court. In the arch of the tower, “Palace of Justice” is written on the wall.

Having gone around the old town in a circle, I again returned to the place from which I started my walk – to the former residence of the governor of the island.

Christopher Columbus stayed here during his expeditions to find a western route to India.

The Columbus House is now a museum of great geographical discoveries.

Nearby is a small church built at the end of the 18th century. Previously, in its place stood the wooden church of St. Anne, in which Columbus prayed before setting off on overseas voyages.

It’s time for me to move towards the bus station located in San Telmo Park. The path there passes through the Triana region.

The main street of this area goes right up to San Telmo. There are an infinite number of shops on it, and here there are a handful of tourists that I did not find in Vegeta. And alleys with cafes diverge from the main street to the sides, beyond which you can see hills with some kind of slums.

This is Triana Street itself.

When I googled what I could see in a quick way in Las Palmas, among the main attractions were: the beach where I lived, the Vegeta area where I was walking now, the Santa Ana Cathedral and the square in front of it and Triana Street. In addition, I noticed a lot of rave reviews about the sculpture “Spiral of the Wind” or something like that, it is called “Espiral del Viento”.

Looking at this thing, I realized that the main program is done 🙂

And now to the bus station, which is already around the corner. Perhaps the most pleasant feeling I got here while reading this sign. In the Canary Islands, buses are called guagua. In the same way, this type of public transport is called in Cuba, where I first heard this word.

I would like to believe that this word came to Cuba from here with the old man Columbus 🙂 I’ll have to google it.

That’s it. Now – to the airport, from where for a few hours to Barcelona, and home.

Spain, wait! I will definitely come to you again.

Sea temperature

As a winter-sun destination, Gran Canaria is very pleasant during November. Daytime and nighttime temperatures are usually warm.

We’ve looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Gran Canaria, covering the last 12 years up to 2022, plus we’ve asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Gran Canaria weather in November.

How warm is it in Gran Canaria during November?

The temperature is extremely stable in November with average highs of 22℃ and lows just 1℃ lower at 21℃. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed.
Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it’s cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

I have always believed that food is an important part of travelling.

Rio, New York, Tenerife and other offers to travel in low season

Summer has passed in a flash almost without realizing it. Autumn tells us that there is little left to finish 2022. It is the time of long weekends –one in October, another in November, and finally another in December–, and it is also a good time to enjoy the good weather during the weekend until The expected cold arrives.

This week we have looked for proposals to travel at a good price in the coming months: getaways to charming hotels, Mediterranean cruises and flight offers to destinations in America are some of our findings. If you feel like traveling, don’t miss these five opportunities:

1

Week in Tenerife with flights from €383

October

Whoever thinks that summer, sun and beaches are over is wrong. And if not, he travels to the Canary Islands in November. 25 degrees on average and highly recommended beaches. To check this offer is the perfect example, a week at the Hotel Tope (4 stars), in Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife)north of the island.

Includes direct round trip flights, 7 nights hotel stay, half board (breakfast and dinner) and travel insurance.

Where to book: logitravel

When: departures in October 2022

two

Charming getaway for two to Asturias for €99

From October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023

What we said before: an autumn getaway is necessary to break the monotony of everyday life. For that reason we have selected this proposal Asturian, on the banks of the Nalón River, just 15 minutes by car from Cudillero, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. It is about staying at the Gran Hotel Brillante, with excellent opinions.

The 99 euros include one night with breakfast for two, and a special dinner. The savings is 45% of its usual price.

Where to book: travelzoo

When: from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 (includes the December long weekend)

3

5* Mediterranean cruise for €587

September 27 and October 2

The Wonder of the Seas, of the Royal Caribbean shipping company, it is the largest cruise ship in the world that has the highest slide in the sea and a ten-meter-high zip line. She normally sails through the Caribbean Sea, but until November she will make several departures from Barcelona to tour the Mediterranean along the French and Italian coasts. We have been struck by how cheap the next departures are in September and October: 587 euros per person.

Includes 7 nights in an interior cabin, 24-hour room service, rates, full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and various events on board.

Where to book: Vacation Center

When: departures September 27 and October 2, 2022

4

Flights to Rio de Janeiro from €499

Sun Princess Unveiled

Announced in a live presentation broadcast directly from the pier at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the new ship, first of the Sphere class, will be named Sun Princess.

The new ship will be the largest vessel ever constructed for Princess Cruises, expected to weigh approximately 175,500 gross tons.

Sun Princess will measure 1,133 feet in length, with 21 decks filled with innovations for more than 4,300 guests to enjoy on each sailing. The vessel will have 2,157 staterooms 1,500 of them with balconies, including 50 suites and 100 connecting rooms to make multi-generational travel even easier.

It isn’t just the size of a ship that makes for an amazing experience, however. Sun Princess is expected to offer phenomenal new features for guests to enjoy, including a 9-story sphere integrated into its design with breathtaking views and an incredible sense of light and space.

Sun Princess will also feature the first-ever glass geodesic dome at sea, enclosing an indoor/outdoor pool that will transform to a brand new entertainment venue in the evening.

The ship will include the cruise line’s iconic, heart-of-the-ship Princess Piazza, which on Sun Princess will be three stories. An impressive LED screen is also showcased in the center of the Piazza, and can be moved and configured for live entertainment performances.

That era will be a bright one if Sun Princess is any indication, and the new ship is sure to generate great excitement among cruise travelers leading up its anticipated debut on January 31, 2024.

New Carnival Cruise Ship Completes Sea Trials

Carnival Celebration set sail on her sea trials Monday, September 5, from Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland. The initial trials took several days, testing the ship’s engines, thrusters, and technical systems, including maneuverability, speed, and stopping abilities.

Onboard was the ship’s master, Captain Vincenzo Alcaras, as well as the engineering team and many crew members, not only overseeing the testing but also gaining familiarity with the ship’s systems for smooth and efficient operation.

Depending on an individual vessel’s size, systems, and performance, as well as weather and marine traffic in the test area, sea trials typically take just a few days or as long as 10 days to complete.

Carnival Celebration completed her trials in the Baltic Sea, in the complicated archipelago around Turku, Finland, on the country’s southwestern tip.

The ship’s maiden voyage is planned for November 6, 2022, sailing from Southampton. The 14-night one-way, transatlantic itinerary will bring Carnival Celebration to her new homeport in Miami, Florida, calling on ports in Spain, Portugal, and the Canary Islands along the way.

The second Excel-class vessel in Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet and sister ship to the award-winning flagship Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration is sure to be celebrated when she reaches Miami, with fanfare from fireboats and shoreside facilities as she makes her way into the port for the first time.

Virgin Voyages Rescue

Scarlet Lady, the first vessel of the young Virgin Voyages cruise line, has rescued a small group of refugees from a makeshift raft north of Cuba, according to reports from passengers on board.

The ship, which was enjoying a day at sea, spotted the small, unsteady craft north of Cuba. The refugees appeared to be aboard a makeshift raft built from water barrels and inner tubes, with a blue plastic tarp or similar plastic sheet for a sail.

Eight individuals were aboard the raft, and while their condition was not known, the raft was obviously not seaworthy for the Straits of Florida, the occasionally rough waters between Cuba and the Florida Keys.

The refugees were brought aboard the cruise ship with what belongings they could carry, though photos and video show that some materials remained aboard the raft. The small craft was left adrift after it was abandoned.

The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.

After the rescue, tracking data showed Scarlet Lady turning north toward Key West, where it is likely the refugees will be turned over to the United States Coast Guard, the authorities overseeing such rescues.

After releasing the refugees to the proper authorities, Scarlet Lady resumed her voyage with a planned visit to Bimini in The Bahamas on Thursday before returning back to Miami on Friday, September 16.

Popular Dining Event Returns to Carnival

For the first time since restarting cruise operations in July 2021, Carnival Cruise Line is bringing back its whimsical “Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast” event featuring The Cat in The Hat and Friends. The once-per-cruise offering will again be available fleetwide from October 1, 2022.

The restart of the colorful and whimsical breakfast event follows shortly after Carnival Cruise Line has resumed other popular dining options that were either closed due to pandemic conditions or staffing shortages that have plagued the cruise industry since the restart.

Along with a fun and memorable menu, guests at the Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast will also be able to make fun memories by meeting popular Dr. Seuss characters, including The Cat in the Hat, Sam I Am, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and more.

Earlier this month, the behind-the-scenes galley tour returned as part of the Chef’s Table dining experience, which had itself been on temporary hiatus from mid-May through late June. Similarly, the afternoon tea event – a popular socializing interlude for many guests – returned to all Carnival ships as of September 6, 2022.

Couple Charged Nearly 100k on Cruise Ship

After enjoying dinner at Jamie’s Italian – crispy calamari and garlic bread appetizers, followed by penne pomodoro, arugula and parmesan salad, and finished with decadent lemon meringue cheesecake and hot chocolate with vanilla ice cream – Alex and his wife, Alicia, were shocked to discover a charge for $98,638.93 added to their shipboard account.

The couple had already purchased the ship’s “Unlimited Dining Package” which includes multiple entrees and multiple specialty restaurants every night of a sailing, and can be a savings of up to 40% off depending on the venues.

Jamie’s Italian is a favorite restaurant of the couple’s, who are both big Italian food fans, and this wasn’t even the first time they’d dined at the restaurant on this cruise.

After their meal, the couple – thrilled with the excellent service and delicious dining – authorized an additional gratuity to their account, but never expected the charge to be listed as nearly $100,000.

The incident happened on September 5, while the couple was enjoying a 7-night roundtrip Eastern Caribbean sailing aboard the Oasis-class Symphony of the Seas.

The ship had departed from Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, September 3, and spent both Sunday and Monday at sea before the startling charge appeared.

Disney Treasure to be Sixth Ship in the Fleet

At this year’s Disney’s D23 event in California, it was announced by Disney Parks chair D’Amaro, that Disney Cruise Line’s next new vessel will be named Disney Treasure. The new ship will become the sister ship to the current Disney Wish at 144,000 gross tons and a guest capacity of 4,000.

D’Amarao teased the Disney Treasure’s main atrium, named the Grand Hall. The cruise line says on its new dedicated ship page, “This magical gathering space draws from the enchanting influences of Asia and Africa, and is graced by the statues of Aladdin and Jasmine.”

The new vessel is being constructed at the popular Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany and once completed in 2024, it will become the new flagship.

Another identical class Disney ship is also scheduled to join the fleet in 2025. When Disney Treasure arrives, it will increase the Disney fleet to six ships.

As we get closer to the arrival of the Disney Treasure, the cruise line will release further details, including itineraries and onboard features. there are also some major construction milestones, such as the keel laying ceremony and floating out onto the water for the very first time.

Weather forecast information

Weather forecasting is a very old discipline. Weather forecasting methods have been improved greatly in the past years, but the forecast is still not 100 percent reliable. The weather forecast for Spain is no exception. Please take this into account when reading the information on this page.
The weather forecast for 1 day is usually very reliable – its reliability is typically much more than 90 percent, but for more days the reliability is much lower. The big problem is the weather forecast for the mountains – there is often erratic (inconsistent) weather and even in a small area different kinds of weather even a few kilometers apart.
Even if the weather forecast is not absolutely reliable, we recommend that you check the weather forecast of your holiday destinations. If you are planning your trip further into the future, look at information about the typical weather in your area for your date. This page covers the weather for one area – Spain. On other pages you can find information about the weather in other world places.
Information source: National Meteorological Institutes, World Meteorological Organization and openweathermap. org.

Typical weather

If you are planning your trip to Spain a long time in advance, then look at the information about the typical (usual) weather in this country on your date. We bring you details about selected places: minimum and maximum temperatures in all months, number of rainy days and amount of precipitation (typically rain or snow) in millimeters. The temperature information tells you what clothes you should pack, the number of rainy days tells you how rainy your season is, the amount of precipitation tells you the intensity of the rain (snow).
When reading information about typical weather, please keep this in mind: The beginning of any month can be very different from its end. If you are planning your holiday for example during the beginning of May, look at the April weather as well. If you are traveling at the end of June, look at July too, during the end of August look at September too, during the end of November look at December too, during the beginning of February look at January too, etc.
Please don’t forget: Weather statistics are a big thing, but actual weather may differ from these long-term statistics. Keep in mind that the weather is likely to change due to global warming. Please watch the weather forecast as well.

68 mm of precipitation falls in November. About four days of rain. Humidity reaches critical 100%. The sun pleases with its rays less and less: the second month of autumn gives 16 sunny days. At the same time, it will no longer be possible to get a persistent desired tan.

905 9000. 2019 – weather and reviews about the rest, water and air temperature
If you have the opportunity to purchase a tour to Mallorca in November in 2019, take the chance, you will not regret it. Mallorca is the largest island in the independent Spanish community of the Balearic Islands. The capital of the autonomy of Palma is located on it. The island is located in the Mediterranean Sea, and here you can relax all year round.

flickr.com/aemkei

Max:

“I went on vacation in November, I loved it. The beaches are clean, the hotels are great, the weather was great.”

What meteorologists predict

The Mediterranean climate of the island guarantees the onset of a wet warm winter in November. The average air temperature is comfortable for Europeans, it stays at 20°C. The water temperature is also not scary – the same 20 degrees. In the first ten days of November, during the day the air warms up to 22 degrees, but at the end of the month at night we can observe a decrease to 8°C. Precipitation and strong wind possible , mainly from the south-west and north-west. The weather in Mallorca in November is very changeable, so it is advisable to get acquainted with the weather forecast for three days every day.

Mallorca weather forecast for November 2019.

How to relax in November in Mallorca

The holiday season on the island ends in October, but you can still swim in the sea at the beginning of November . The beaches are empty, the usual beach service is reduced to a minimum. In November, taking advantage of the decrease in the flow of tourists, you can safely see the sights.

Palma has many interesting places to visit. Royal Palace and Cathedral in the old Arab part of the city are open to the public all year round. Tourists who come to Majorca in cool November have an easier time getting into the Cathedral, because T-shirts, shorts and miniskirts do not meet the dress coda requirements.

flickr.com/nordelch

The museum is open all year round at Bellver Castle and admission is free on Sundays. The Alfabia Manor, the Glass Factory and the La Granja Manor are close by, and one day is enough to visit them.

If possible, take a trip to the west coast to the village of Valldemossa. Chopin, who came to the island with George Sand, was hiding in the local monastery for some time.

Be sure to visit the pearl factory in Manacor. The brand shop and the exhibition hall attached to it receive visitors all year round.

flickr.com/apolide

Mallorca is a small island with good quality roads. If you have a driver’s license , you can rent a car to see all attractions. The speed limit is up to 120 km/h, the drivers are polite.

Sergey:

“We rented a car for 2 days, having agreed with friends. It cost us 65 euros (including insurance). The longer you take the car, the more profitable. We traveled around the island, took a lot of interesting photos.”

Excursions

Impressions from the trip will be incomplete without excursions. Tourists are increasingly ordering tours via the Internet. This is more convenient for several reasons. Possible:

slowly read the description and reviews and choose what you like;

do not fuss and do not spend precious time on the island searching and buying excursions;

buy in advance from home and pay by card;

there is more choice online than in any agency, and prices are 15-20% lower, because no agency fee.

The most popular excursions in Mallorca in 2019:

Attending festive events

Harvest Festivals are held in Mallorca in November:

pumpkin fair;

agricultural fair;

olive festival.

The second weekend of the month can be spent visiting the Pumpkin Fair in Playa de Muro. In all bars and restaurants, tastings of dishes and drinks made from pumpkin are held for two days. At the end of the holiday, a winner is chosen – the largest pumpkin.

On the second Thursday of November the largest agricultural fair starts in the city of Inca. It will feature street musicians, costumed performances, souvenirs and local delicacies for sale.

At the end of the month in the village of Kaimari you can participate in the Olive Festival . You will be shown the process of making olive oil and offered to buy local delicacies – honey, sweets, nuts and homemade wine.

flickr.com/mallorca_excursions_tours_ausfluge

If you’re lucky enough to be in Mallorca at the end of November, you’ll have the chance to taste the Christmas Ice. At this time, an artificial ice rink is being prepared in the capital.

Shoppers

Tourists who are fond of winter sales in Italy, shopping in Mallorca is unlikely to impress. It is almost impossible to buy trendy branded clothes here. In Palma , the boutiques are located in the Plaza Mayor area, on Jaime III Street and Des Born Boulevard. Leather products are bought in Inca, but you can run into a Chinese fake.

Anastasia:

“I made all my purchases at El Corte Ingles (Palma). There is a 10% discount for non-EU members. Nicely! It’s better not to go to Outlet Festival Park, it’s a waste of time.”

Tourists can buy handmade souvenirs in numerous shops in the bazaar and on the waterfront. There are many products made of artificial pearls on sale, but there is a high probability of meeting a fake. According to tourists, it is better to buy pearls in the branded stores of the Majorica jewelry house with the ability to issue a Tax Free check. A unique service is offered to the clients of the shop attached to the factory in Manacor: you can buy a necklace and a bracelet made according to the wishes of the buyer. The length of the product, the size and color of the pearls, the method of their connection are selected. An exclusive product will remind its owner of the days spent on the island of Mallorca.

Palma de Mallorca Airport is located near the central part of the city. And if road trips are not attractive, you can go on a long journey with the help of air traffic – the international airport of Palma de Mallorca is located 8 kilometers from the center of the capital of the island.

How to dress? — according to the weather!

There will definitely not be a big heat wave, the weather can be cool, so you should stock up on warm clothes, windbreakers and hats . Showers are likely, so an umbrella is a good idea. Let’s hope for sunny days and take a bathing suit with us to take air baths on the shore. With luck, in early November it will be possible to extend the swimming season.

Resume

Do not be upset if the authorities send you on vacation in November, change the autumn November slush for the warm gentle sun of Spain. According to tourists, a holiday in Mallorca at this time has a number of advantages:

tickets are sold at a discount;

excursions are cheaper;

few tourists.

Some inconvenience comes from the lack of direct flights. You will have to get to the island with a change in Madrid or Barcelona. You should not go to Mallorca in November for lovers of sunbathing.

Jandia morro jable fuerteventura: Morro Jable & Jandia – FuerteventuraGuide.com

Morro Jable & Jandia – FuerteventuraGuide.com

Morro Jable and adjoining Jandia are located in the extreme south of Fuerteventura, 1¼ hours drive from the airport. The 84Km drive shouldn’t be too off-putting when you consider this area has some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands. Although the name ‘Jandia’ also refers to the entire peninsula in the South of Fuerteventura, in this article, we are referring to the long seafront avenue that leads into Morro Jable.

Playa de la Cebada, Morro Jable, Fuerteventura

Morro Jable has come a long way since the first tourists began arriving via dirt track to the newly-opened Robinson Hotel in 1968. The main Jandia strip (Avenida del Saladar) is now a grassy and wide, Palm-lined avenue that runs parallel to the beach with plenty of space for walkers, joggers and cyclists. A narrow saltmarsh separates the avenue from the sea, with several walkways crossing this protected space to provide access to the main beach. The mostly dry saltmarsh hosts a variety of species including Ibises, Egrets and the ubiquitous ‘Chipmonks’ (actually Barbary Ground Squirrels).

Morro Jable, Fuerteventura

Most bars and restaurants are located on Morro Jable’s pedestrianised streets and seafront rather than on the Jandia strip. In fact, the Jandia avenue has fewer eateries located on it than any other tourist strip that I’ve ever seen. Perhaps the largely German clientele prefer to eat in their hotels rather than venture out? On the plus side, Morro Jable manages to maintain the feel of a real Spanish town with restaurants and cafes catering to Spanish rather than International tastes.
Nightlife is rather limited, especially out of season, with most of the lively bars to be found in the pedestrianised area of Morro Jable. Thursday night is traditionally party night in Morro Jable, while other weekday nights are usually quiet.

Bell Mystery

One of the Church Bells in Morro Jable’s Church has a curious origin. Following a storm in December 1937 (during the Spanish Civil War), residents of the tiny village of Cofete were alerted to a strange sound coming from the sea. At first they thought it was a warning that soldiers were coming, but the source of the sound was revealed when a large buoy containing a Church Bell was washed up on the beach. The Bell was made in Canada, but how it ended up on the beach in Cofete is still a mystery to this day.

Faro de Morro Jable, Jandia, Fuerteventura at Sunrise

The kilometers of white sandy beaches are the main draw to the South of the island. For those that prefer activities on or under the water, there are a number of dive schools in the area along with sailing boat hire, Jetski and Quadbike excursions. There’s also some decent snorkelling; stick to rocky areas and you could see Barracuda, Moray eels, Dorada (bream) and large Sting Rays.

Morro Jable Harbour is a jumping-off point for ferries to Gran Canaria as well as numerous diving, whale watching and other marine excursions. The harbour is also home to several very large rays that can be seen from the edge of the pier in front of La Cofradia.

Buildings come to an abrupt halt west of the harbour at the entrance to the Jandia Natural Park. Accessed via graded dirt roads, the park stretches to the Punta de Jandia lighthouse and across the mountains to the unspoilt 5km beaches of Cofete. Several small coves are located off the main dirt road which you can often have to yourself all day; just don’t forget to take plenty of water and sunscreen.

There are some good walks in the area; A well-marked path leads from the harbour to Cofete through Gran Valle, takes around 2½ hours one way, and offers superb views once you’ve managed the final assent over the ridge. The hike to the highest point on the island, Pico de la Zarza is also rewarding, especially when the mountain top is not shrouded in cloud. This walk takes around 4½ hours return and is quite a tough assent; but the views of the virgin Barlovento beaches from the overhanging peak are stunning.

Jandia / Morro Jable

Morro Jable (= the original fishing village) and Jandía (= the “new” town) belong to the the largest tourist centres on Fuerteventura. Since Jandía seamlessly passes into Morro Jable both towns together are just called “Jandía” in travel guides or magazines. A vast, light-coloured beach with fine sand (behind which there are protected salt meadows) is the main attraction. Traditional restaurants and many shopping facilities are particularly to be found in Morro Jable. Jandía/Morro Jable is especially popular with German tourists. But you will also encounter guests from France and the Netherlands.

Map of Jandia/Morro Jable

Information about Jandía/Morro Jable

Jandía and Morro Jable belong, as mentioned above, to the largest tourist towns on Fuerteventura. They belong to the municipality of Pajara and are situated on the southern part of the island, at the foot of a mountain range with the island’s highest mountain “Pico de la Zarza” (807 m high). You can also climb this mountain and enjoy a breath-taking view of the long west coast Cofete beach. The mountain range keeps off the cold winds and clouds and turns Jandía/Morro Jable into the region with the warmest and sunniest temperatures of the entire island.

In fact, the complete southern peninsula of Fuerteventura is called “Jandía”. By now, however, the “old” town Morro Jable together with the new town “Jandía”, characterised by hotels, are called “Jandía”. Both towns merge in a way that as a tourist, you won’t notice where Jandía ends and where Morro Jable begins. The good thing about it is that you can spend your holidays in a young, new town and at the same time, you can see something old and pristine. A good mix!

View of the promenade of Morro Jable

Promenade in Morro Jable

Jandia is crossed by a four-lane main road. On its one side, there are hotels, apartments, shops and restaurants and on the other side, there are the beach and the sea.

The hotels and apartements were mostly built at the foot of the hills and offer guests a beautiful view of the beach and the sea. Jandía also possesses a new golf course. You will find it when you turn right at the roundabout next to the Barceló hotels and then just follow the road. In this region, also the newer hotels of Jandía can be found.

Between the town entrance and the Robinson hotel, there is a 4 km long sports lane, which is frequently used by walkers, joggers and roller skaters. Starting at the Robinson hotel southwards, there is a nice beach promenade where you can have a nice walk along the beach to the old town centre of Morro Jable.

Sports lane in Jandia/Morro Jable

Not to be forgotten is the harbour of Morro Jable, which is situated a little outside the original town. From here, you can take the ferry to Las Palmas (Gran Canaria). The harbour is a fishing and a yacht harbour. Sometimes also cruisers dock here.

Jandía/Morro Jable beach

Jandía possesses one of the most beautiful and copious beaches of Fuerteventura. Near Morro Jable, the beach is very narrow. The closer you get to the lighthouse towards Jandia, the broader it becomes.

The beach section near the lighthouse (in the tourist centre Jandía) is also called “Playa de Matorral” and is perfectly suitable for families with children. The sand is fine, light-coloured and clean; the sea is flat. Between the road and the beach, there are protected salt meadows where no construction is permitted. For sun worshippers, no beach section in Jandía/Morro Jable is really narrow.

Four-lane main road, lighthouse and beach of Jandia

Naturism is allowed in the whole area or at least tolerated. Only directly in front of Morro Jable, where mainly locals are to be found, you should not do naturism.

The waves here can get a little high on some days. You should mind the red and yellow flags here.

You can walk from Morro Jable to Costa Calma (or the other way round) in about 5-6 hours and return by bus.

Shopping and restaurants

Of course, there are a lot of shopping facilities and restaurants in Jandía/Morro Jable.

You can go shopping in many shopping centres and in the long shopping promenade, which is situated in Jandía’s high street. But you will also find small shops in Morro Jable.

Cosmo Shopping Center in Jandia in the high street

Shopping promenade below “Palm Garden” in Jandia

Along the promenade in Jandía, there are numerous restaurants (there is also a good ice cream parlour). There is something nice for any taste, whether you prefer the traditional Spanish/Canary cuisine, the Italian, Chinese or interational one. For fish gourmets, we particularly recommend the restaurants by the sea in Morro Jable. But also those who don’t eat fish will always find a good place to eat.

Particularly worth mentioning is “La Farola del mal” or “Coronado” (slightly away from the promenade).

For the small appetite, we recommend the beach bars, which offer delicious starters and small main dishes.

Beach promenade with many restaurants and some shops near Morro Jable

By the way: you will not have communication problems (if you do not speak Spanish) since in most restaurants and shops, the staff understands and speaks German.

Bus/Taxi

There are several bus stops but they are not always easy to spot. A small, round blue-red sign marks a bus stop. Sometimes there is a bus shelter but not always. You will find bus schedules in island magazines; or just ask the bus driver.

There are also numerous taxi stands. Along the high street, you should not have problems with getting a taxi.

History

First settlements date back to 1900, when Morro Jable was still called Puerto de la Cebada (barley harbour). At the beginning of the 60ies, about 200 people lived in Morro Jable. Until 1970, Morro Jable was rather isolated until tourism slowly developed. Then the town Jandía also developed, which has merged completely with Morro Jable and now forms today’s largest tourist centre in the south.

Discover Morro Jable’s must-sees and must-visit spots

Morro Jable is the most populated town in the municipality of Pájara in the south of Fuerteventura, and one of the island’s leading tourist destinations. In the town you can disconnect on tranquil beaches where crystal-clear water laps at the shore, take long walks along the seaside with the lighthouse in the background, visit the historic quarter, and enjoy its delicious gastronomy.

Until the early twentieth century, with the development of agriculture, stockbreeding and salt production, the area had still not been developed, and for that matter, it wasn’t until 1966 when the first hotel was opened. These days, the town’s main avenue is a commercial thoroughfare, which is home to the highest concentration of tourist accommodation, restaurants, nightlife and shops—the most extensive range of options on the whole island offering something for every budget and taste.

What to see in Morro Jable: El Matorral beach, the lighthouse, port…
If travelling as a family, couple or with friends, this is the place for you, as it is a versatile destination that offers all manner of tourist services and activities. From water sports, golf, hiking and bicycle routes, to some of the best beaches on the island and charming lookout points, without forgetting a great selection of restaurants, bars and nightclubs where you can enjoy the night with dancing and drinks.

One of its strong points is its incredible beaches with fine, white sand. The well-known Playa del Matorral beach stretches for four kilometres and is situated next to the seafront promenade replete with shops, entertainment options and restaurants. It also boasts a wetland, which is protected due to its scientific importance: Saladar de Jandía salt flat, visited by birds and home to highly interesting salt-tolerant vegetation. El Matorral lighthouse, visible from anywhere on the beach, separates the nudist zone (to the north of the lighthouse) from the regular area (that closest to the town), and is also a perfect place to watch the sunset. Close by is the clean and tranquil Mal Nombre beach, where you’ll find yourself practically alone, and Butihondo beach, which boasts golden sand and beach bars where you can recharge your batteries.

BOOK

Without a doubt, the finest views can be enjoyed from the church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, founded in 1992, which affords panoramic views of the whole beach and the lighthouse. Although the town is geared towards tourism, strolling through the historic quarter brings to mind the calm, traditional spirit that is so typical of seaside towns. Don’t hesitate to wander through the streets, stop for a coffee or listen to the buskers from one of the many terraces, with the waves crashing in the background. Also be sure to head to Morro Jable port, from where ferries, cargo ships and local fishing boats come and go, and where manta rays can often be spotted. What’s more, next to the port is the Turtle Nursery, a rehabilitation centre for turtles, which is free to enter.

Things to See in Morro Jable

The Old Town of Morro Jable

Nothing more than 200 souls lived in Morro Jable in 1970. Back then the town consisted only of today’s historic center. At present, more than 3,000 people have their homes here. Nevertheless, the old town of Morro Jable has not lost little of its original flair. Its center is the Piazza de Pescadores. From there, several narrow streets lead in all directions. You stroll past white houses and some restaurants that offer Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine and, above all, freshly caught fish on the menu. In the small tourist shops of the two shopping streets in the old town you can buy the usual tourist souvenirs, but also some handmade ones.

The Port of Morro Jable

The port of Morro Jable was built in 1980. It connects Fuerteventura to the neighboring islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife with ferries. Its marina offers a place to moor for at least 290 boats with a maximum draft of 5 and a maximum length of 35 meters. The harbor is lined with shops, restaurants and bars. From here you can enjoy a stunning view over the pier and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Turtle Recovery and Breeding Station in Morro Jable

Photo by: piaxabay.com

Directly in the port of Morro Jable there is am installation for sea turtles. On the one hand, animals are being brought here who are stranded on Fuerteventura and injured or ill. These are treated and released again after recovery. On the other hand, young animals are raised here, which are to be resettled in the Canary Islands. On the 800 square meters of land there are 12 tanks for stranded turtles and 5 tanks for the breeding. The facility has a free information center where you can see some of these animals and learn how the installation works.

The Market Hall in Morro Jable

The Municipal Market is dominated daily by the colorful bustle of the locals. In addition to freshly caught fish, it also offers fruit, vegetables, local pastries and meats, as well as Canarian art and craft products. People come here to have a chat, for tastings, to discuss and of course to haggle. You should not miss this, if you would like to experience authentic Canarian everyday life, or if you want to explore and discover new things.

Shopping in Morro Jable

If you are looking for a large shopping center, you should head to the Cosmo Centro Commercial in the neighboring Jandía Playa. Otherwise, shopping in Morro Jable is concentrated right in the center of the city, on the pedestrian areas of the streets of Diputado Senador Velázquez Cabrera and Nuestra Señora del Carmen. Here you will find everything you want: fashion boutiques, beauty salons, souvenir shops, small mixed stores and much more. To relax from the exhausting shopping, you will find there also small cafes, ice cream parlors and restaurants.

Nightlife in Morro Jable

The nightlife of Morro Jable takes place mainly on the beach promenade. Here you can stop at one of the approximately 30 bars and pubs and stay until midnight or a little later. If you are looking for a dance floor to stay until dawn, you will have to go to the neighboring Jandía Playa.

Things Worth Knowing About Morro Jable

The Beaches of Morro Jable

Photo by: lostajy on Visual Hunt / CC BY

The beach Playa de Matorral begins in the northeast of Morro Jable and merges into further stretches of beach in the north. The beach stretches 21 kilometers in total, from Morro Jable to Costa Calma. If you spend your vacation in Morro Jable, you can reach the beach of Playa de Matorral in a few minutes and spend a wonderful day on a bright sandy beach.

Weather in Morro Jable

The climate in Morro Jable is dominated by the mountain range of the Jandía Natural Park. This ensures that it hardly rains throughout the year round and there are barely any clouds. And also the wind is less severe than anywhere else on the island. Therefore, Morro Jable, as well as the rest of the southeastern coast is considered the sunniest region of Fuerteventura. The temperatures remain mild all year round. In winter, the climate table of Morro Jable rarely indicates less than 20 degrees and in summer barely more than 28 degrees Celcius. Consequently the weather in Morro Jable guarantees a wonderful sun-drenched holiday, regardless of the season.

Hotels in Morro Jable

Whoever expects as many hotels in Morro Jable as in other tourist places on Fuerteventura is wrong. There are only a few hotels in its urban area. The former fishing village rather offers its vacationers holiday apartments or bungalows and small villas. In the immediate vicinity of the beach you will find the probably only 4-star hotel of Morro Jable, the XQ El Palacete.

Jandia Peninsula – resorts of Fuerteventura

Spain Resorts >> Canary Islands >> Fuerteventura Island >> Fuerteventura Resorts >> Jandia Peninsula

JANDIA PENINSULA

In the south of Fuerteventura is the Jandia peninsula, separated from the main part of the island by a narrow isthmus only 5 km wide. Highway FV-2 (yellow on the map) runs along the eastern coast of the peninsula from Puerto del Rosario, on both sides of which, forming several tourist centers, hotels and apartments are built. This is the largest resort of Fuerteventura, attracting tourists with long beaches and a calm atmosphere conducive to a quiet measured rest.

COSTA CALMA

Almost at the very border of the peninsula, tourists are greeted by lush greenery along the highway, atypical for arid Fuerteventura: it is watered with used and purified water from the neighboring hotels. Here is the resort village of Costa Calma, which literally means “quiet coast”.

The first hotel in the village built on an almost empty place was opened in 1977, and by 1984 Costa Calma became one of the most popular and dynamically developing tourist centers of the island.

As elsewhere on the Jandia peninsula, the Costa Calma is dominated by Germans. From March to October, there are especially many windsurfers in the vicinity of the village: at this time there are ideal conditions for skiing.

Coast near the village of Costa Calma.
In the background is the Sol Gorriones hotel.

In total, now the “hotel sector” of Costa Calma can accommodate 8,000 tourists. Many of the hotels were built quite recently (hence why they are not yet on the panoramic plan made in 1999) and meet the most modern requirements in terms of service and comfort for their guests.

Panoramic plan of the village of Costa Calma, 1999
[ Enlarge the photo, 234 KB ]

There are “shopping centers” in the village (on this and other plans they are marked with the letters EZ), which are several small restaurants and department stores where you can buy every little thing such as suntan lotion and mineral water.

Tourists who decide to choose the village of Costa Calma as their holiday destination, our company offers a choice of two hotels:
h20 Playa Esmeralda 4* and h20 Tindaya 4*.

West along the coast, away from the village is a separate hotel Sol Gorriones: next to it is the world’s largest windsurfing center “Pro Center Rene Egli”.
In the area of the village of Costa Calma begins (or ends – depending on which side you look at) the longest beach coast of Fuerteventura – many kilometers of Sotavento.
Most of it is practically not built up and attracts tourists seeking complete solitude.

VILLAGE SCHEME

The distance from the village of Costa Calma to the airport is 65 km.
Estimated taxi fare is €55 (see How to get there).

PLAYA MATORRAL

Untouched by civilization, the eastern coast of the Jandia peninsula smoothly flows into Playa Matorral, a tourist center stretching for 3 km along the FV-2 road, much larger than the Costa Calma. There are more hotels in Playa Matorral, but there is enough space for everyone on the wide beach.
This section of the coast began to develop actively only after 1982, when instead of a dirt road a highway was built that connected the resort with the airport.

If you move from the side of the capital, then on the right side of the road there are cafes, bars, restaurants and shops, slot machines and offices of car rental companies: this is a shopping street and at the same time a place for the promenade of tourists from nearby hotels. Closer to midnight, everything closes here and life stops.

Panoramic plan Plai Matorral, 1999.

[Increase, 247 KB] [Increase, 115 KB]

ALDIANA in the eastern part of Playa Materral, there is a small zoo called ” Stella Canaris”, represented mainly by tropical feathered inhabitants. Even in the zoo there are several artiodactyls and a sleepy kangaroo.
Stella Canaris is not a place to go to from other resorts, so we didn’t include it in the Entertainment section. But if your hotel is nearby, stop by for half an hour between the beach and lunch.
By the way, budgerigars in Playa Matorral can be seen not only in the cages of the zoo: they live in the crowns of tall palm trees.

Tourists who decide to choose Playa Matorral as their holiday destination, our company offers to stay in one of the three hotels of the Iberostar chain:
Palace Fuerteventura 4*, Playa Gaviotas 4* and Fuerteventura Park 4*.

Playa Matorral borders on the western side of Morro Jable, another tourist center on this coast. However, the border between them is very conditional: a tourist uninitiated in administrative subtleties will not even notice where one ends and the other begins.

On the beach. Shopping street of the resort.

The distance from Playa Matorral to the airport is 86 km.
Estimated taxi fare is €70 (see How to get there).

MORRO JABLE

Behind the lighthouse, the beach turns sharply by almost 90°, and soon the territory of Morro Jable begins – a quiet fishing village in the recent past, which could only be reached by SUV, and today it is a popular tourist center.
Despite the development of tourism, the old part of Morro Jable is still preserved and continues to fulfill its “historical mission”: local fishermen go to sea in small boats, and in numerous restaurants on the waterfront, gourmets prepare delicious dishes from freshly caught fish to the delight of gourmets.

Panoramic plan of Morro Jable, 1999
[ Enlarge photo, 182 KB ]

In Morro Jable, the long beach coast of Sotavento ends: at the western tip of the town, the coast is already rocky. Here is the port (in the panoramic plan – below, behind the scenes), from where a high-speed ferry runs to the island of Gran Canaria. From the port of Morro Jable, you can also go on a boat trip and deep sea fishing – see the “Entertainment” section.

The distance from Morro Jable to the airport is 90 km.
Estimated taxi fare is €72 (see How to get there).

Morro Jable

Despite the development of the island’s infrastructure in recent years, the resort center has retained the atmosphere of a fishing village.

Morro Jable beach

Along the promenade there are many restaurants where you can taste dishes from freshly caught seafood.

The hotel is quite ok, unfortunately there are no direct parking spaces in the hotel, but in front of the hotel to the beach – some or in the market square.
The rooms are quite tidy, cleaned 5 times a week. The equipment is also ok.
Unfortunately, the pictures on the internet are a little dated or “beautiful”, the hotel looks a bit different and the pool is really small.
The staff is very helpful and tries to answer in appropriate languages.
Breakfast and Dinner – ⭐️⭐️ who really wants Spanish cuisine should look for a good restaurant, it’s just available in the hotel “only” standard food.
Very good – proximity to the beach and it’s fabulous, you can spend hours there just wonderful.

Overall a good hotel for a small budget. Something old but beautiful.

For two stars, absolutely fine. Only I booked in February and paid more than a friend of mine who booked spontaneously two weeks in advance. I was assigned a low carburetor number where the craftsmen from the construction site would otherwise live. It was dark. Right at street level. Overused and smelled extremely of chlorine. But there was a view of the garden there was a tree and bushes in front of the window. My friend pays less and gets a bright nice room overlooking the pool. The Spanish front desk boss was very unkind and demeaning. Otherwise, the staff were very friendly and also solution oriented. Unfortunately we won’t be booking here again as the unkindness cost us a few days of vacation. Class short way to the beach.

The hotel offer more than expected. For the price you can’t have more relaxation. We had three children aged between 2 x 1 and 1 x 2 (almost 3) years with half board for 10 days there and were superbly managed and treated. The photo of our “big” with his “friends” employees is relevant even on the Jandia Luz website. In the dining room we have always been very attentive perceived and supported by the super staff. The buffet is absolutely suitable for two stars, varies to some extent so that it will not be boring. The room was big enough for 5 of us, cots were already placed on arrival. A weak kitchen is enough to prepare everything needed for the naps of the dwarves. In our opinion, absolute recommendations. We’ll be back!

Villages, Moonscapes, and Art: December Holidays in Tenerife

The mild weather is perfect for discovering the side of this spectacular volcanic island that few holidaymakers experience at other times of the year.

Parque Nacional del Teide

This breathtaking moonscape is a World Heritage Site, with a crater-like surface having been formed from volcanic activity. The national park is dominated by Mount Teide, a snow-capped dormant volcano and the highest peak in Spain. There are signposted walks and a cable car to whisk visitors to Mount Teide’s peak.

La Laguna

The pastel-coloured mansions that line the streets of La Laguna mark it out for many as the most beautiful town in the Canaries. There are also plenty of welcoming bars and cafés in the area to make friends with locals.

Tenerife Espacio de las Artes

This striking concrete and glass gallery in Santa Cruz was designed by the pioneering Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, also responsible for London’s Tate Modern. It’s ideal for a cooler day with some striking contemporary art, intriguing installations, and an excellent café just next door.

Anaga Mountains

There are some great walking trails in the stunning Anaga Mountains to the northeast of the island, which are perfect for December holidays in Tenerife. The journey there, with jaw-dropping views all the way, will be more than sufficient for your scenery fix!

Masca

Set high above a plunging valley, Masca’s spectacular location is part of the draw of this delightful village. Make sure to bring your camera for the unforgettable views from the mountain road on the way there.

Get the fire going and cozy up in your warm wraps as you prepare for the cold December month. Though warmer than most European cities, parts of Spain in December can still get chilly. The coldest temperatures can be found inland, in cities such as Madrid, where the mercury can drop to 0℃ at night. Cities in the north, such as San Sebastian and Bilbao, are warmer, with lows of 5℃ and highs of 13℃.

The mercury climbs as you travel southward. If you want to escape the bitter cold of northern Europe, Spain’s Mediterranean coast is the ideal place for you.

Why Visit Spain in December

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao houses a collection of contemporary artwork from all over the world.CaptionThe tinted glass reflection adds up to the intricate interior of the Sagrada.

Travelers from all over the world pour into Spain in July and August to soak up the sun. However, visiting Spain in winter will give you a completely different perspective of the country and help you get under the skin of its culture, all the while avoiding long queues and sky-high accommodation prices. Below we have listed a few reasons why it is worth heading to Spain in December.

Christmas season: Christmas is one of the most important festivals in Spain and spending a couple of days in the country during this time will not disappoint you! You can visit Vigo, in Pontevedra, to wander among millions of lights that decorate the city at night or go bargain-hunting in the Christmas market in front of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Fewer tourists: December is a low season in terms of tourism in Spain. Take this opportunity to wander amid the fairy tale setting of Parc Güell and browse through the collection of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Culture vultures will get more opportunities to mingle with locals in December than at any other time of year.

More affordable prices: Prices of accommodation, activities, and airline tickets tend to be cheaper in December as high-season crowds are yet to settle in.

Winter sports: Even though it is rare to see snow in Barcelona and Madrid, there are a few mountainous areas in the country where you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding. The most popular destination is the Sierra Nevada Mountain chain, close to Granada, while the Pyrenees and Teruel are also not far behind. Alternatively, you can take equestrian tours in Spain on warmer winter days.

Where to go and what to do

Besides visiting the outstanding art museums, you can also wander the ancient streets and picturesque alleys in Cuenca, Spain.

Granada should be a pit stop for those interested in winter sports. This city is located close to Sierra Nevada National Park, home to the highest mountain range in the country, where one can enjoy all sorts of winter sports.

Similarly, those into arts and culture are sure to have a field day in Barcelona and Madrid. Find yourself surrounded by the works of some of the greatest artists the world has ever seen during your trip to museums, such as El Prado and Picasso. Those interested in Christmas celebrations can head for the city of Arcos de la Frontera, where the nativity scene is reenacted every year. About 20,000 people from all over Spain come to watch this remarkable show.

Food lovers will find themselves at home in Jijona, located in the Alicante region, where a Christmas fair is organized. Here, you will get the chance to try a variety of local products like turrón and marzipan.

In addition to all this, December is also a great month to visit the national parks located in the south of the country before the unbearable summer heat makes the journey uncomfortable. Discover Parque Natural del Estrecho, which is located at the southernmost tip of the Spanish mainland and is home to numerous species of birds.

Although spending your winter holidays on the Iberian Peninsula might not sound like a good idea, visiting Spain in December comes with many perks. Temperatures are mild, especially when compared with other European destinations, and the country offers plenty of activities for all kinds of travelers. You can opt for an adventurous skiing trip in the Pyrenees, go museum-hopping in Madrid, be part of festive crowds in towns and cities throughout the country, or even explore national parks and wildlife reserves.

Which Canary Island to Visit?

Spain

2 months ago10 min read

With spectacular volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and year-round sunshine, the Canary Islands have long been a popular destination among European tourists. Now, the secret is getting out to the rest of the world. But Tenerife or Fuerteventura, which island to visit?

While the Canaries have many things in common – volcanic rock formations, balmy weather, and local cuisine – each island within the archipelago offers something slightly different. Tenerife, as the largest and most popular of the islands, is known as an all-rounder, with something for every type of tourist. Fuerteventura, by contrast, is a sun-baked and wind-blasted island most popular for its beaches and watersports.

From things to do during your vacation to the weather you can expect on each island, join us as we break down everything you need to know to decide which Canary Island you should visit.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: General Vibe

Tenerife is the largest and most popular of the Canary Islands. Each year, over 6 million tourists visit the island to enjoy its beautiful volcanic landscape, sandy beaches, warm climate, and thriving nightlife. There are two distinct sides to Tenerife. The South is dominated by tourist-centric beach resorts, with all the infrastructure for holiday-makers to kick back and do very little other than sunbathing, eating, and partying. Think all-inclusive hotels, busy promenades, restaurants with all types of international cuisine, and plenty of thriving bars and clubs.

The North of the island is a totally different experience. Dense forests and lava-sculpted landscapes are punctuated by sleepy towns with more traditional bars, restaurants, and places to stay. The North does much less to cater to the tastes of the European holidaymaker, making for a more authentic, nature-led experience of the island.

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands. It has a drier, rockier landscape than Tenerife, with much less vegetation – grazing goats have led to the desertification of the island. But what it lacks in terms of greenery, it makes up for beaches. If you care less about forest trials and more about never-ending coastlines, Fuerteventura is the pick for you.

Famous for its wind – the name Fuerteventura roughly translates as ‘strong wind’ – Fuerteventura is a popular spot for wind and kite-surfers. Fuerteventura is a less popular tourist destination than Tenerife, with vast stretches of the island unknown to tourists. It’s therefore much easier to escape the tourist crowds on this island, making for a quieter, more low-key holiday.

So Tenerife or Fuerteventura, which one passes the vibe check? Well, both. But Tenerife just nudges it as an ‘all-rounder’ island catering to a broader range of holiday styles – from sun-worshipping hotel-dwellers to nature-loving adventurers.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Things to do

Believe it or not, there’s much more to do during your vacation to the Canary Islands than laze on a beach and sip cocktails. While the region has become known as a hub for resort-loving holidaymakers, there’s a real range of activities on Fuerteventura and Tenerife alike that challenge common perceptions of what a trip to the Canaries can entail.

In Tenerife, there are ample opportunities for active travelers to get their hike on. The Anaga Rural Park has some of the best hiking trails on the island. For animal enthusiasts, there are plenty of whale and dolphin watching tours that leave from the southwest of Tenerife around Playa de los Americas and Costa Adeje. With 27 species of whale to be found in Tenerife’s waters, there’s a great chance to spot some marvelous sea life.

Another memorable thing to do in Tenerife is stargazing at the Teide National Park, where it’s possible to hire an astronomer to point out the 83 officially recognized constellations visible from the park. And finally, taking a day trip to Garachico gives visitors the opportunity to swim in unique, volcanic rock pools that were created by the eruption of Montaña Negra volcano in 1706.

In addition to sun-bathing and wind-surfing, Fuerteventura offers a good range of natural wonders to explore during your vacation. Salinas del Carmen are the island’s only remaining salt flats, where you can marvel at their strange beauty and also learn about the history of salt-making on the island. Visiting Cuevas de Ajuy, the Canary Islands’ oldest rock formation at 70 million years old, makes for another interesting experience. Meanwhile, the island’s volcanic landscape is ripe for discovery, Malpaís de Arena was formed tens of thousands of years ago during the last major volcanic eruption on Fuerteventura. It offers stunning views from the crater.

Ultimately, there are more things to do in Tenerife than Fuerteventura, so if you’re an activity-led traveler, Tenerife wins in this category.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Landscape and beaches

Fuerteventura and Tenerife may belong to the same archipelago, but they look very different. Both islands have rocky, volcanic landscapes, but their similarities end here. While Fuerteventura has a barren, desert-like landscape devoid of much vegetation, Tenerife has an impressive array of different natural settings. From the forested slopes of the Anaga Mountains in the island’s North East to the poppy meadows of Anico and the sunbaked beaches of the South, Tenerife trumps Fuerteventura when it comes to biodiversity.

But what about beaches? With seemingly endless stretches of sandy coastline, Fuerteventura is a haven for beach bums and water sports enthusiasts. Rugged, windswept beaches and secluded coves abound. When exploring the island by car it’s easy to wind up with an entire beach to yourself. Tenerife, by contrast, has much more densely-populated shorelines. You’ll find a good array of sandy and pebble beaches here, but have a less ‘untouched’ feel in comparison to Fuerteventura. Often lined with restaurants and beach bars, Tenerife’s beaches lack the rugged, wild feel of Fuerteventura’s epic coastline.

So, Tenerife or Fuerteventura – which island wins in terms of weather. All in all, this one’s a tie. The landscapes of both islands are remarkable in their own way. The arid, windswept ruggedness of Fuerteventura is striking in its beauty, while its seemingly limitless stretches of beaches appeal to those with a taste for sun-drenched days spent on the sand. Tenerife, by contrast, offers a greater diversity of natural settings, boasting everything from dense green forests and built-up beach resorts. It’s a great destination for people who want a balance of natural wonders and a comfortable holiday setup.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Weather

Owing to their position off the East coast of Africa, the Canary Islands enjoy warm and sunny climates year-round. This makes them a great destination for sunshine-filled winter breaks and sweltering summer vacations. Each island has its own microclimate, with significant variation in temperature, rainfall, and wind – even on the same island. In Tenerife, the Northern part of the island typically has more clouds and rainfall, while the South is known for its sun and blue skies. Average temperatures range from 62F in January, to 75F in August, but they can reach as high as 69F in January and 86F in August. Generally, Tenerife is thought to have one of the sunniest and more reliable climates of the Canary Islands, alongside Gran Canaria.

Fuerteventura’s climate is distinct from all of the other Canary Islands. It is a stable climate without much variation, with the sun shining for 300 days a year. Temperatures range from between 53F and 64F in January, to between 66F and 77F in its hottest month, August. Due to its absence of high mountain ranges, Fuerteventura doesn’t trap many clouds, making for low levels of rain. In fact, it only receives 150 mm rain per year, almost exclusively in autumn and winter, from October to March. But what Fuerteventura lacks in rainfall, it certainly makes up for in wind. The island is renowned for its windy climate – which lends itself well to watersports but can make for a less enjoyable sunny day.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura, which island has better weather? Tenerife has the better weather of the two islands. While its Northern side has more rain and cloud than can be found on Fuerteventura, the island, in general, has a more enjoyable climate with higher temperatures and less wind.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Food

If the local cuisine plays a starring role in your vacation, you’re probably wondering which island has the best food, Tenerife or Fuerteventura? In all honesty, there’s not a great amount of variation between the two Canary Islands when it comes to cuisine. The influence of international tourism means that both islands boast a significant array of cuisine from around the world. You’ll not only find the mainstays of Spanish cuisine – tapas, paella, and sangria – but also Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurants to boot.

Those seeking to explore more authentic, local cuisine will find an array of fish, seafood, and meat-heavy dishes. A lack of flatland to graze means that there’s less beef on the menus than there is pork, rabbit, and goat. The Canary Islands are also big producers of potatoes, with papas arrugadas – salty, Canarian potatoes – a staple of local diets. Most dishes are accompanied by Mojo picón, a delicious and versatile sauce made from olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, and vinegar that is a great accompaniment to meat, potatoes, and fish. With Canarian delicacies specific to the archipelago at large, as opposed to individual islands, it’s hard to say whether Fuerteventura or Tenerife has better food – both islands are great destinations for foodies.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Price
Photo by Unsplash

The Canary Islands are well-known for their good value, and there’s not a great variation in price between Tenerife and Fuerteventura. According to Budget Your Trip, the average daily cost (per person) in Tenerife is €103 ($118), while the average daily cost in Fuerteventura Island is €99 ($113). This price includes accommodation, food, transport, and entertainment. There’s really little difference in the cost of food and drink between the two islands: typically, people visiting Tenerife spend on average $5.89 on alcoholic beverages per person, per day and people visiting Fuerteventura Island spend on average $6.22. Meanwhile, the average cost of days worth of meals in Tenerife is $35, compared to $30 in Fuerteventura.

To get around in Tenerife, the average visitor spends $55 per day, per person. While people spend $42 on transportation in Fuerteventura Island on average per day. And finally, when it comes to the cost of sightseeing experiences and attractions, you can expect to spend $25 in Tenerife and $27 in Fuerteventura.

Of course, how much you spend on vacation really depends on the type of traveler you are. Between Tenerife’s luxury resorts and high-end restaurants, there’s plenty of opportunity to rack up a much higher daily cost. Similarly, if you’re a budget traveler who stays in low-cost accommodation and cooks meals yourself, you could end up spending much less. However, in general, Fuerteventura makes for a slightly cheaper holiday than Tenerife.

Tenerife or Fuerteventura: Conclusion
Both Fuerteventura and Tenerife are brilliant destinations with a great balance of sunny weather, stand-out beaches, natural beauty, and things to do. If we had to pick a winner, we’d say that Tenerife is the better destination. This is simply due to variety. As the larger island of the two, with a more diverse landscape and a greater variety of natural landscapes and activities, it simply offers more. But don’t take our word for it – why not visit both and make your mind up for yourself?

20 Things To Do In Tenerife
1- Visit Mount Teide

Exploring Mount Teide is one of the fun things to do in Tenerife for nature lovers.

Mount Teide is the world’s third-highest volcano and is the most voluminous, created more than 170,000 years ago when a former volcano collapsed.

The volcano is the highest peak in the Canary Islands and the whole of Spain.

Since its formation, many of its eruptions have come not from the central caldera but from around the volcano’s base, as it is much harder for lava to reach the peak.

Canary Island aboriginals, known as Guanches, believed that Guayota, the king of evil, lived inside the mountain.

Teide translates to Hell.

According to the legend, Guayota kidnapped the god of sun and light, Magec, and imprisoned him inside the volcano.

The Guanches prayed to their supreme god Achaman for mercy, and he defeated the evil Guayota and plugged up the crater.

You can walk to the top of Mount Teide and drive towards the peak from many different routes.

A cable car at the main car park, followed by a short walk, will take you to the top of the mountain.

Another great way to enjoy Mount Teide is to go on a night stargazing tour with dinner.

Mount Teide is at 38300, Tenerife.

2- Explore Los Gigantes

Eating seafood and enjoying the views are two things to do in Tenerife’s Acantilados de Los Gigantes Cliffs.

The best place to view Los Gigantes is from the Archipenque Mirador viewing point, just above the village.

For a more dramatic view, head out to sea to see the cliffs emerging from the waters.

While visiting Los Gigantes, call into one of its fish restaurants.

The fish are fresh daily from local fishermen and taste incredible in beautiful surroundings. You can also go on a whale watching tour from Los Gigantes.

Los Gigantes is at 38683 Acantilados de Los Gigantes, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

3- Go Whale Watching

Going whale watching is one of the rewarding things to do in Tenerife for nature lovers and you might be lucky enough to see short-finned pilot whales surfacing in heavy swell in the Atlantic Ocean.

While visiting Los Gigantes, why not head out onto the water on one of Tenerife’s many whale watching tours.

The tours regularly leave from the port at Los Gigantes and take visitors out into the ocean.

The boat’s captain will stop at areas where sightings of dolphins and pilot whales are common.

With the engines off, you may have a chance to glimpse these beautiful creatures.

Dolphins will happily swim alongside the boat, but pilot whales are much shyer and prefer quieter waters.

Many whale watching trips provide a drink and a snack as part of your ticket, and some will even take you close to Los Gigantes cliffs for a swim before heading back to port.

Book your whale watching tour here:

Tenerife Whale And Dolphin Tour – three-hour luxury yacht cruise with only 11 passengers on board.

Tenerife Whale Watching – two-hour catamaran cruise from Puerto Colon with guaranteed whale and dolphin sightings.

4- Visit The Beautiful Village Of Masca

Exploring local culture at Masca Village is another of the things to do in Tenerife, Spain.

Masca has been named Tenerife’s most beautiful village, and it is easy to see why upon visiting.

High peaks and thick, lush rainforest surround this quaint small mountain village.

The road to Masca is filled with twists, turns and hairpin bends, however, the drive is worth it.

The village is in the Tent mountains west of the island and has been historically near impossible to visit.

There was no road to Masca until 1991.

Before then, the village was accessible only on foot and was known as the ‘forgotten village’.

When in Masca, visit its tiny church, with room enough for eight people only.

Several small restaurants in the village serve various local dishes.

Masca is at 38489, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This tour will take you to Masca and other lovely villages in Tenerife.

5- Escape From The Crowd To Punta de Teno

Exploring the Punta de Teno Lighthouse is another of the things to do in Tenerife.

Punta de Teno is a spectacular spot of unspoilt land that marks the very end of the island at the furthest point in the northwest.

The landscape is between the mountains of Masca and the Atlantic Ocean.

The area covers six square kilometres (2.32 square miles) of protected landscape that is mainly unknown, so head there for a quiet and picturesque view.

Due to its rocky landscape, Punta de Teno is only reachable by road.

Punta de Teno lighthouse is on the headland, built in the 19th century with stone from the neighbouring island La Gomera.

Punta de Teno is at 38480 Buenavista del Norte, Tenerife.

6- Bath In Garachico’s Pools

Exploring Garachico village on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean is a popular thing to do on Tenerife island in Spain.

The beautiful village of Garachico in the northeast of the island is well worth an afternoon out.

Its ancient streets are paved with cobbles and its bright white buildings are close together, creating a labyrinth through the town.

In 1706 the town was nearly destroyed when the Trevejo volcano erupted, but, thankfully, some of the beautiful architecture remains to this day.

Garachico’s biggest allure is not its history but its nature.

Surrounded by thick Canarian pine tree forests, this small village is home to many natural swimming pools.

The pools are known as El Caleton and are a popular bathing area year-round.

Garachico is at 38460, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Go on this local villages tour to explore Garachico and other places.

The dragon tree grows throughout the Canary Islands and in the Azores, Morocco, and Central America.

El Drago, however, is different to the other dragon trees across the globe.

This tree is estimated to be as old as 3000 years, with some claiming El Drago is the oldest tree on earth.

El Drago and the rest of its species got its name because of the red resin that is secreted when the branches or leaves are cut.

El Drago is at Carretegra Gerral a Tegueste, Tenerife. A full-day guided tour of North Tenerife will take you to see El Drago and other sights.

8- Explore The Ancient Capital Of San Cristobal de La Laguna

San Cristobal de La Laguna, or La Laguna as known locally, is the ancient capital of the Canary Islands and is in northern Tenerife.

La Laguna became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999.

The town lies close to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the new capital, and is easily accessible from the city via tram.

Stroll through the streets of La Laguna to take in the beautiful colours and architecture of this 16th-century town.

Many historical mansions are decorated in pastel colours with small courtyards decorated with plants and flowers and overlooked by wooden balconies.

Anaga Forest is at 38294 San Cristobal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

10- Explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife

One of the things to do in Santa Cruz in Tenerife is visiting the Basilica of Candelaria.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, or Santa Cruz, is the capital of Tenerife and the shared capital of the Canary Islands.

The capital has a deep natural harbour, one of the busiest in Spain, while the town is filled with a contrast of beautiful historical buildings and striking modern architecture.

Head to the Auditorio de Tenerife, a music and performance venue, to see this architecture up close.

Santiago Calatrava designed the auditorium to look like the sails of a yacht.

Further examples of incredible architecture in the capital come from Parque Maritime Cesar Manrique.

Cesar Manrique, from nearby Lanzarote, designed this waterpark filled with saltwater pools.

Catch the tram to the ancient capital of the island La Laguna to complete your day of exploration.

You can find information on stargazing excursions at hotels and tourist information centres.

12- Marvel At The Cave Houses In Chinamada

Some of the cave houses are still lived in.

Many residents of Chinamada work in agriculture and cultivate the land that surrounds the village.

Many pleasant hikes end at Chinamada from neighbouring villages.

After arriving, head to one of the village’s restaurants to dine on local cuisine to reward your efforts.

Chinamada is at 38294, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

13- Kayak Along The Coastline

Enjoying nature is one of the best things to do in Tenerife.

El Medano is a laidback surf resort in Tenerife, and the beach is the perfect place to soak up some rays or head out onto the water.

When tourism is high during the summer months, it is possible to take surfing, kayaking, or windsurfing lessons before watching windsurfing and kiteboarding competitions.

18- Play On The Beach At Playa de Troya

Relaxing by the pool in a resort is one of the fun things to do in Tenerife.

Part of the Playa De las Americas resort area is Playa de Troya, a beautiful and sheltered stretch of beach.

The Blue Flag beach is protected by breakwaters which allow visitors to swim safely without the risk of high waves.

Many water sports are available at Playa de Troya, including paddle boarding, parasailing and flyboarding.

Playa de Troya is at Av. Rafael Puig Lluvina, 10, 38650 Costa Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

19- Discover La Casa de Los Balcones

Admiring the intricate balconies is one of the unusual things to do in Tenerife.

La Casa de Los Balcones translates to ‘the house of balconies’.

The home dates back to the 17th century and is considered the most important building relating to Tenerife’s lacemaking and craft history.

The mansion is a museum, however, it is its stunning balconies that have long drawn people through its doors.

The main balcony is long and features a wide variety of tropical plants spilling over the edges.

The balcony overlooks the courtyard, which features carved tall columns made from pine heartwood.

Inside the mansion, the museum focuses on the domestic life of a bourgeois landowner in Tenerife.

There is a vast collection of antiques and artworks inside the museum and exhibitions focusing on lacemaking and embroidery.

La Casa de Los Balcones is at Calle San Francisco 3, 38300 La Orotava, Tenerife.

20- Learn The Mysteries Of Guimar Ethnographic Park

Exploring the Pyramids of Güímar is one of the top things to do in Tenerife for history lovers.

Tenerife is filled with beautiful and mystical parklands, but none draws more mystery to it than Guitar Ethnographic Park.

Inside the park are six mysterious stepped pyramids, each formed from volcanic stone, with the tallest reaching 12m (39ft).

The pyramids are believed to date back to before Spain colonised the islands.

Stairways on the western sides of the pyramids led archeologists to believe ancient cultures used them in ceremonies to welcome the sun.

The pyramids have been written about as early as the Roman Empire by Pliny the Elder.

Cultivated gardens surround the pyramids, and within these gardens are more than 70 toxic plants from around the world, which are grown here to raise awareness.

There is also a museum on the grounds.

Guitar Ethnographic Park is at C. Chacona, s/n, 38500 Guimar, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Visit Tenerife: a guide to your holiday to the largest Canary Island

If you’re looking for an idea for your next winter holidays, the Canary Islands are for sure a good option. Choosing one of them can be tricky, but you can stay on the safe side by picking Tenerife, which has a bit of everything! Wide sandy beaches and small coves with black volcanic rocks, woods to hike and volcano Teide with its 3715 meters of altitudes, nature and history, modern towns and little villages in the middle of nowhere.
This introductory guide to the island has all the basic information to start planning your trip (and many links to more specific topics):

How to get to Tenerife

Where to stay: South or not south?

How to move around the island

What to do: Teide, beaches, food and more

What to pack

Unless you are up to a two-day ferry trip from Spain (for instance if you have to ship your caravan), the only way to reach Tenerife from Europe is by plane. There are two airports, one in the North and one in the South.
Tenerife North receives mostly national flights. You might end up here if you book a flight with a connection in Madrid or Barcelona. It’s close to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Rural Park Anaga (for hiking lovers) and the old capital La Laguna (for history lovers).
Tenerife South hosts international flights. You’ll definitely land here if you book a direct flight from your country. It’s close to the more tourist areas and the sunniest beaches.
A 40 minutes car drive separates the two.

There are plenty of possibilities, depending on your taste. Do you want to spend a week tanning on a beach? Or do you want to climb Volcano Teide and hike in the woods every morning? Do you enjoy culture? Do you prefer all-inclusive hotels or your own house in the middle of nowhere? Each preference has its own place on this island.

Puerto de La Cruz
It’s a small version of the touristic South coast, with more expats and a bit fewer tourists, fairly close to the North airport and not too far from the capital. It offers a black sandy beach in town and plenty of restaurants and good chances of English speaking staff members. The weather on the north coast is sometimes unstable, but Puerto de la Cruz is a sweet exception!

Basically, every hotel and apartments establishment has swimming pools and plenty of organized activities.
If you want something a little out of the ordinary, I personally suggest Hotel Monopol. The building is in the very center of Puerto de la Cruz. It’s a typical canary house from last century, with wooden balconies and an internal “garden”. The structure is quite old, so it might lack some fine details, but the green patio and the kind staff make up for everything else.

The South of the island
The classic choice for holidays in Tenerife is the South coast, somewhere like Los Cristianos or Costa Adeje. Here you’ll find the best weather, wide beaches, tons of restaurants and bars, fun activities and possibly the only areas where English is fluently spoken. Even though these places are often what people come on holiday for, I feel obliged to point out they are as fake as a pizza with pineapple. This is not at all the real Tenerife. If you decide to choose this location, please make sure you travel around the island to see the rest of it!

Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The capital is a 200k inhabitants town on the coast, not particularly beautiful but with plenty of activities to do. It’s a classic to visit but not really to stay for more than a day or two unless you’re joining the famous carnival of Santa Cruz.
A 15 minutes bus ride from the city center takes you to Las Teresitas: a huge sandy beach, always very windy. It’s one of the very few white sand beaches on the island, and the reason is that this sand is imported directly from the Sahara Desert!
Santa Cruz is probably the only place in Tenerife that you could enjoy without renting a car. There’s infact a good bus/tram system that takes you everywhere, both in town and around the island.

Alternatives: like a local or in the middle of nowhere
El Médano and Abades are villages for local tourism. There are plenty of rental houses and apartments, good weather and very nice beaches, less crowded than in the South.

San Cristóbal de La Laguna (otherwise called simply La Laguna) is the old capital and UNESCO heritage site. It’s only a few minutes drive from the airport, it has a tram that connects it to Santa Cruz and a good bus system to go around the island. It’s the university city of Tenerife, you can therefore imagine lots of bars and restaurants in a pedestrian city center.

There’s always the possibility to stay inland for a more original accommodation, for instance in Anaga Rural Park, Santiago del Teide or Masca. Keep in mind these places are far away from almost everywhere else on the island and no highway runs by them. In case that’s what you enjoy, you’ll probably want to look for a casa rurale as your accommodation. These are rural houses rented out by privates. Some of them are real jewels!

Oceanview from Anaga Rural Park

Unless you’re planning on not moving from your hotel during your stay on the island, the best and easiest way to visit Tenerife is by renting a car at the airport as soon as you land. There are simply too many interesting places to visit that are difficult to reach with public transportation.
Cicar and Auto Raizen have usually the best deals for car rental.

Busses here are called guaguas (guagua is the singular). Don’t ask for “the bus”: go local, be cool, ask for your guagua!
There is a cheap and fairly reliable bus/guagua network on the island. As I mentioned before, it can be quite sporadic, especially in the evenings when the service is essentially non-existent. If you want to give it a try, make sure you check both ways’ timetable and info on Titsa website.

Distance by car – According to Google Maps

Be classic: the beach calls you
You can’t come to the Canary Islands and not try an ocean swim, can you? There are tons of beaches for you to explore, depending on your location.

In the south, beaches are mostly sandy, wide and usually crowded, like Playa Fañabé and Playa de las Vistas.

Just outside Santa Cruz de Tenerife, as I mentioned before, you find Las Teresitas, the capital’s official beach. A wide beach with white sand imported directly from the Sahara desert. It has a few chiringuitos (terraces with food and drinks) and a lot of wind. A lot.

In the North of the Island, there are the black sandy beach of Puerto de la Cruz and the very curious Piscinas Naturales of Bajamar and El Caletón de Guarachico. The first one is a system of a few natural sea-water-filled swimming pools. The second one is a complex of pools built between an 18th-century lava eruption, that lets the sea in and out, following the tide and the waves.
Check out the weather before you head out there, though. It can be unpredictable and the tide can play tricks.

If you want to mix with the locals, go to El Médano or Abades. These locations are mainly for local tourism, with nice beaches, a couple of bars and restaurants, but probably noone that speaks English.

Last but certainly not least, a couple of charcos: are natural rocky coves with transparent water and beautiful landscapes. Charco del Viento (in the north) and Los Abrigos (near El Médano) are two nice ones. Don’t expect sandy beaches (or even a beach at all!) and be very careful when the tide is high or the sea is even vaguely rough.

Charco del Viento

Go hiking!
The Teide is the highest point not only on the island but of entire Spain: the most famous landmark of Tenerife definitely deserves a visit! You can hike in the park, climb the volcano or take an easy cable-car to get to the (almost) top of it. The views are beautiful and very different from everywhere else in Tenerife. There are also a lot of geology lessons to learn. Reaching the very top might need some booking. For more information, you can read this guide about climbing Volcano Teide.

Anaga Rural Park is one of my favourite areas on the island. It’s high, green and reminds me of “real” mountains. There are plenty of paths you can try out. If you can’t plan ahead, the best would be to go ask at the Information Point in Cruz del Carmen (the center of the park) for a map and suggestions for the walk that best suits your skills and timetable.

Teide National Park

Explore nature and history
There are many more or less small towns and villages worth a visit in Tenerife. For instance, the old capital San Cristóbal de la Laguna and its ancient Canarian style houses. Garachico, the first capital of the island, is rich in historic buildings and Icod de los Vinos comes with a millennial tree. A La Orotava there’s a pretty museum inside a canary house from the 17th century (La casa de Los Balcones). Masca is a pretty village that used to be on the way of a famous stunning hiking route; the access had been limited due to its high danger level.

In the south of the island, between Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos, you can book a trip to go dolphins and whales watching. I tried a speed boat, which enabled me to get really close to the little pilot whales! Contact Bonadea II for the same experience (online booking available) or look for another company on the tourist office long list.

If you’re into caves and/or volcanic experiences, the Cueva del Viento is a volcanic tunnel with a 3 hours tour running every single day in Spanish, English, French and German. You need to book in advance and it’s fairly expensive, but it’s also a unique and typical thing to see on these volcanic islands.

If you travel with children, you might want to check out Loro Parque (a famous animal park) and Siam Park (an Asian themed water park).

Pilot whale playing around the boat (the boat is visible in the reflection on the cheek!)

Go eat!
Classics from Tenerife you can’t miss out:

Papas Arrugadas con mojos (small boiled potatoes, to be eaten without peeling, dipped in the local sauces).

Queso Blanco Fresco, tabla or a la plancha: fresh cheese, tasty both served as it is on a plate or grilled with jam and/or sauces.

Lapas: a pan of seafood with green mojo sauce.

Tortas de Vilaflor: sweet cookies you’ll find more in shops than in restaurants.

Barraquito: a coffee with milk, condensed milk, alcohol, cinnamon and lemon skin. Not much coffee, after all, but recommended.

Rum: like Cuba, the Canary Islands produce good rum. We suggest you to try Ron Miel (honey rum). Good restaurants often offer you a shot after dinner.

Wine: try the local wine, especially the white ones.

To have an idea of how expensive the restaurant is, check out the price of Papas Arrugadas, which most places always have: a normal restaurant won’t charge more than about 4-5 euros for a plate. The “trap for tourists” restaurant could ask even 8-9 euros, with probably low-quality dip sauces. Of course, it could also happen to be just a very fancy restaurant…

Bread is usually not included in the service.
Tips are not mandatory.

Barraquito with all the proper layers

The weather in Tenerife is stable all year round, which makes this and the other canary islands a perfect holiday destination at all times. Nonetheless, summer is still warmer than winter, but we’re talking of a few degrees difference.
Locals are not scared by cold water even in January, and you’ll find them swimming in the sea every day of the year. As I agree that going to the beach in full winter in Tenerife can still be a pleasure, I’m too Mediterranean to enjoy a swim during those months!

Whatever your itinerary will be, do bring a sweater for the evenings and definitely your beach outfit: you never know when a good sunny day might surprise you!
If you’re planning to go up to the top of the Teide you will need warm clothes! And please, don’t go up there in flip-flops!

We went to the island of “eternal spring” last year. We wanted to celebrate New Year’s there. The air temperature was within 20 degrees, the water temperature was within 20-22 degrees. It was very comfortable to swim, my husband enjoyed diving, although the water, a little further from the coast, is cooler. During the 2 weeks that we rested, there was no rain, but we were told that rains in December in Tenerife are generally rare.
I was on vacation in Tenerife in December 2013. Before the trip, everyone scared us that it would be cold and we would not be able to swim and soak up the sun. But we have completed our entire beach holiday program in full. During the day, the air temperature in the sun rose to 27-28 degrees, in the shade it was about 23-24. In the evening though it was quite cold 17-18 degrees. But we dressed warmly and went for a walk along the embankment. The water in the ocean was unusually warm and comfortable for swimming, not like in Turkey in the summer of course, but warmer than we expected. But if you are going to go on excursions to the mountains or to the northern part of the island, you need to dress very warmly. Since the temperature in the northern and southern parts of the island is strikingly different. And if you go to the Teide volcano, then it’s time to put on winter boots and a down jacket)))
Until 2012, I had never rested anywhere, I had never even been to the sea, so the dream to visit some country simply overcame me. When the opportunity arose to go on a “journey”, the choice was between Thailand in the fall and the Canary Islands in December. My choice fell on the Canary Islands, or rather, the island of Tenerife, in its northern part. My choice was due to the fact that in winter I really want warmth, and here, like nowhere else, the climate is favorable (the promised +23 – +25C.), Especially for those who can hardly tolerate acclimatization. There is no problem with that here. We arrived in O. Tenerife on December 1 – the weather turned out to be a couple of degrees lower than expected (+21 – +23). The ocean was generally +18-+19C, but this did not prevent you from enjoying the water procedures to your heart’s content. The only negative is a rather strong wind, but it was not felt everywhere (the higher in the mountains, the stronger the wind). During the day, the weather was mostly always sunny, it never rained during the 10-day stay. Day 2-3 was cloudy. Fog descended from the mountains, while the air was not humid – it was easy to breathe. And in the evening, after sunset, it became cooler, so a warm cardigan would not hurt. Thanks to the mild climate, the excursion to the mountains to the crater of the volcano was very easy. I really liked the entertainment that was included in the price of the tour: we went to loro park, siam park (an absolutely amazing open-air water park), visited all kinds of excursions and much more. I want to note that even if there is no entertainment on the tour, you can find a lot of interesting things for yourself without any problems. I was very pleased with the rest and the weather. A great place to relax in winter, for people who do not like to “roast” under the scorching sun

A great place to relax in the winter, for people who do not like to “roast” under the scorching sun.

Perhaps the most influential artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso may be best known for pioneering Cubism and fracturing the two-dimensional picture plane in order to convey three-dimensional space. Inspired by African and Iberian art, he also contributed to the rise of Surrealism and Expressionism. Picasso’s sizable oeuvre grew to include over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures,ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs. He painted his most famous work, Guernica (1937), in response to the Spanish Civil War; the totemic grisaille canvas remains a definitive work of anti-war art. At auction, a number of Picasso’s paintings have sold for more than $100 million. The indefatigable artist has been the subject of exhibitions at the world’s most prestigious institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou to the Stedelijk Museum and Tate Modern.

EDIFICIO MAJONA XX CENTURY | The Heart of Tenerife

[tabitem]

Designed by the team of architects constituted by Eustaquio Martinez Garcia, Arsenio Perez Amaral and Antonio Corona Bosch, this building was designed in 1991, becoming reality two years later. Among its characteristics, it stands out for its excellent adaptation to the context of the streets around it; its simple size, with offices on the ground floor and houses with large windows on the upper floors; and the use of wood socles on the narrower of its two facades in order to blend into the environment.

GASTRONOMY:
Santa Cruz is the heart of Tenerife and as such it is the home of a range of food and drinks. All parts of the world are represented in the municipality. It’s a place where the food sector has experienced a remarkable growth in the last few years and the zone is known for being a metropolitan area that is home to two stars from the prestigious Michelin Guide.

The gastronomy is undoubtedly part of the local character of a culture. In this sense, the Canary Islands can proudly say that their cuisine is both simple and original in nature and that this is true in terms of the choice of ingredients and how dishes are prepared, with the Islands’ cuisine being based on the Guanche heritage, but also having a clear Spanish influence.

However, despite its simplicity, traditional Canarian cuisine is authentic and rich in flavours that give it a personality of its own – a personality that has been influenced by the Island Chain’s climate and the use of the products readily available in its sea and on its land.

Among the ingredients of traditional Canarian cuisine, some of the most important are products from the sea, such as fish and shellfish like the “vieja” (Mediterranean parrotfish), a white fish with a mild flavour, the “choco” (cuttlefish), a type of squid with a larger size, and the “cherne” (wreckfish), a fish that is consumed salted or as a stew.

In terms of foods from the land, the sweet potato and the potato are the indisputable companions to meat and fish, with the potato being famous in its “papas arrugadas” form (“Canarian wrinkly potatoes” – boiled potatoes with their skins left on). Vegetables such as the tomato, onion, garlic, varieties of peppers, squash, zucchini (or “bubango”), watercress, coriander, and parsley can be used in soups, stews, and in the preparation of the famous Canarian “mojo” sauce in its two versions: green (containing coriander) and red (“mojo picón,” containing pepper).

In terms of meats, noteworthy are dishes based on pork, rabbit, and kid goat, all of which can be prepared with a sauce as a stew, fried, or roasted.

Goat’s milk is the basic ingredient of the cheeses from the Canary Islands, which are consumed fresh, semi-cured, cured, and even smoked.

But there is a Canarian food product that is derived from grains like corn, wheat, and barley and which has become established as a “symbol” of the gastronomic culture of the islands. It is known as “Gofio” (a fine mixture of the aforementioned grains previously toasted and ground) and it has multiple culinary applications, as it has acted as the “bread of the canaries” (kneaded with water and not cooked), it can be consumed “scrambled” with broth (escaldón) or a stew, and it can even be mixed with honey and almonds to act as a desert. Its consumption is so widespread that, in many homes, it is customary to mix gofio with milk and sugar and use it for breakfast. Other products that complement the cuisine of the Canary Islands are the local wines from the region, with Tenerife being the perfect example. The island is divided into five wine-producing districts, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife is located in the Tacoronte-Acentejo district. Tenerife’s gastronomy brings together the products and dishes that are most representative of Canarian cuisine with a wide range of dining establishments.

One of the increasingly popular trends over the past few years is the diversification of traditional cuisine, giving rise to a new, more creative and contemporary branch of cooking known as “signature cooking.” While this type of cuisine keeps its base through the use of traditional products, it innovates by introducing new and exotic ingredients (many of them foreign) and a mix of flavours that bring originality to the recipe. Likewise, emphasis is placed on the dishes’ presentation, turning them into artistic creations done by expert chefs.

The dining sector of the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has it all. Visitors can find the best of the traditional cuisine mostly in restaurants or “guachinches” around the Anaga area. In the rest of the city, there are establishments that offer everything from traditional Canarian cuisine to exquisite “signature cooking” and more creative dishes, without forgetting the wide range of regional Spanish specialties, bars serving “tapas,” and a great variety of restaurants that offer international cuisine.

Majona excited about new ventures – Osceola-Sentinel Tribune

0

Four years after the economic recession hit, questions remain about how well businesses are recovering.

For Majona Steel Corporation of Osceola the new year looks to be an exciting one, company President Bryan Hoffa told Second District Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) last week during the congressman’s visit to Osceola

The second district will include Clarke County, with the new redistricting changes. Loebsack is touring the new areas of the district to learn more about the communities.

The steel fabrication company recently hired 30 people – doubling the size of its workforce. They have hopes to hire an additional 20 by this fall. The hiring is a result of new ventures the company is pursuing.

One venture, which the company said is currently driving much of their business, is building steel tanker trailers. The trailers are built to haul water for the oil and gas industry. Majona sells the trailers to dealers in states like Texas, New Mexico and North Dakota. The dealers then supply the trailers to drill sites.

Another endeavor the company expects to begin soon is building towers for mid-range wind turbines.

Impact of recession

However, the future hasn’t always looked so bright for the nearly 40-year-old company. When the recession hit in 2008, the plant took a hard hit. The company laid off 60 percent of its workforce and looked for other ways to cut costs. Company personnel did its own vehicle oil changes and janitorial service.

“We turned half the lights off in the plant to try and save money,” Hoffa said. “We were really on the brink of things. We didn’t know if we were going to make it or not.”

At that time the plant primarily built commercial building steel structures. One of their biggest customers had been ethanol and bio-diesel industry. But after the recession hit some of these commercial customers went from “super production to halting completely,” said Ryan Phillips, co-owner of Majona. Structural and miscellaneous steel projects were hard to find.

The company needed to find a new direction in order to survive.
“It forced us to change what we do,” said Hoffa. “We went from a job shop to building commercial building steel, which we still do, to moving more into manufacturing, so now we manufacture our own products.”

The company’s new ventures gives them a glimpse of the better days when they had just broke ground in Osceola in 2007.

Majona moved to Osceola after outgrowing its production facility in Waukee in 2008. The quality of the workforce, availability of land at a fair price and support of the community attracted the company to the area, said Hoffa. Some of Hoffa’s family members were also from the area.

When the company broke ground for the facility commercial construction was booming.
“We couldn’t have been in a better spot,” said Hoffa.
However, everything would change when the recession hit.

A look at new ventures

The company found the wind turbine industry and began working with Heartland Energy Solutions. Heartland was looking at developing mid-range towers for smaller farmers.
“They had a new product line they were researching and developing,” said Phillips.
The process to get the work up and running has been a slow and evolving one for Majona.

However, they are in the process of building the necessary equipment needed to build the specific steel towers.

Phillips said the new venture is expected to be a reality soon.
In the meantime, Majona also found another need for steel tanker trailers, for areas including the Texas oil regions. Hoffa said more of the trailers are needed as the country tries to become less dependent on foreign oils.

The local officials said the trailer business has, and will, help the company create the funding needed to keep the wind turbine project moving along.
“At this point it appears that this trailer business has no end in sight for this year (because of the number of orders) and possibly for the foreseeable future. I don’t know what that brings. A few steady years of this is a marked improvement from where we’ve been in the last few years,” said Phillips.

The equipment will allow the company to build large tower structures with “extremely tight tolerances,” and will open the company up to a national and international industry.
Hoffa said the company has been contacted about the towers because there aren’t a lot of other manufacturers in the Midwest who have the newest equipment and capabilities to build these specific towers.

Moving forward

Phillips and Hoffa said, moving forward the company will continue to look for ways to grow and the entire workforce continues to stick to the motto, “we build anything steel.”
“No job is too difficult, too large or too complex for us to figure out, design and build,” said Hoffa. “We have yet to be stumped.”

As the company grows, Hoffa said they are looking at future job candidates.
Discussions have been going on between Southwestern Community College officials and local high schools about a welding program. Hoffa said it is his hope the program will get off the ground and allow high-schoolers to get welding experience needed for local business like his.

“We’ll be happy to donate steel materials for the students to practice on, send our key welders to either teach a class or give presentations,” he said. “We’re always willing to give tours and show the exciting employment opportunities.”
Other growth opportunities could include a rail spur in the community, which would help manufacturers like Majona control input costs, said Hoffa.

The company currently buys from distributors and warehouses and has the steel shipped to them on flatbed semis. With a rail spur, the company could purchase directly from a steel mill.
“From operating a business, obviously, controlling input costs is key but I think that a rail spur would not only benefit Majona but be a huge advantage to Osceola,” said Hoffa. “I think it would really spur, pun intended, interests of other potential business owners to do as I did and relocate to Osceola. “

Thankful for the community

During the good times and bad, Majona has been thankful for the support of the community and said the community is what helped the business in the past and will help in the future.
“We’re excited about the future,” said Hoffa. “We’re young, we’re dynamic. We’re not afraid to build. We’re sitting on 20 acres here so we’ve got plenty of capacity to expand.”

Philippine volcano Mayon began to spew lava and ash. It is reported by The Telegraph.

Nearly 15,000 residents of the surrounding area were evacuated.

Experts explained that the first pyroclastic flows are not necessarily a sign of an impending catastrophic eruption. The danger level has been raised to three on a five-point scale; specialists do not yet see the need to raise it to four (dangerous eruption).

January 15 Rostourism issued a warning to travelers about a possible Mayon eruption.

In December, a tropical storm hit the Philippines, as a result of which mud flows covered more than a dozen settlements. More than 130 people became victims of the natural disaster.

Mayon, October 23, 1766

More than 2000 people died during the second eruption of Mayon on the island of Luzon (Philippines) on October 23, 1766.

* * *

Mayon Volcano rises majestically at 2438 meters in the southeastern part of the island of Luzon, 10 kilometers from the Albay Strait. Some have called it the most flawlessly built volcano in the world. An Etna-type volcano that erupts lava and warns of eruptions, Mayon has been a source of superstitious fear for the natives of Luzon for centuries. They believed that an evil spirit lives in the depths of the mountain and from time to time, in search of a victim, sprinkles them with ashes and fiery lava.

In 1592, the Franciscan monk Esteban Solis gathered several thousand local people from different villages and took them to the foot of the mountain. They were supposed to watch him climb the volcano and say that there are no evil spirits in the crater. He did this, and the natives, apparently feeling that Solis had either proven them wrong or cast out the evil spirits, rejoiced and joined his church. Their conversion was short-lived. Father Solis inhaled so much sulfuric gases in the crater of Mayon that not even a year after he exorcised the evil spirits, he died, and the church was immediately deserted.

After 24 years, in 1616, Mayon erupted with extreme force and claimed many lives. But its second eruption was the most destructive, on October 23, 1766. Dozens of villages were swept away, incinerated by a huge lava flow (30 meters wide), which descended along the eastern slopes for 2 days.

Following the initial explosion and lava flow, Mayon continued to erupt for another 4 days, ejecting large amounts of steam and watery mud. Greyish-brown rivers 25 to 60 meters wide crashed down the slopes of the mountain in a radius of up to 30 kilometers. They completely swept away roads, animals, villages with people (Daraga, Kamalig, Tobako) on their way. More than 2,000 residents died during the eruption. Basically, they were swallowed up by the first lava flow or secondary mud avalanches. For 2 months, the mountain spewed ash, poured lava into the surrounding area.

1984 Mayon eruption

It is the most active volcano in the country, with about 50 eruptions over the past four centuries.

The first recorded eruption occurred in 1616, and since then there have been more than 30 major eruptions resulting in human and economic losses.

The most destructive happened on 1 – ^th February 1 814 . Lava flooded the city of Kagsawa, where 1,200 people died. Only the spire of the village church has survived. Rash February 1993 was also fatal, with 77 people killed by ash flow.

Other eruptions occurred in 1897 , 1928 , 1947 . At on March 16, 2000 came an eruption n ^sealing 47, which caused an ash column 1 kilometer high. More than 25,000 people were evacuated in 2001, compared with 73,000 in 1984 year. In 2003, there were two eruptions – March 17 and October 13.

At on August 7, 2006, a massive relocation of more than 30,000 people was made due to the risk of Mayon eruption. On August 9, almost 40,000 people were evacuated from the territory up to 8, km southeast of the volcano.

At December 15, 2009 , Philippine authorities began another evacuation of residents living near the volcano, who are showing alarming signs of activity. On December 20, the authorities warn the population of the island of Luzon due to a possible volcanic eruption in the coming days. On December 24, after 50,000 people had already left the area, Filipino soldiers forcibly evacuated hundreds of residents from all over the volcano. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ordered authorities to find recalcitrant residents within a five-mile radius of the volcano area and evacuate them. In addition, on Christmas Eve, volunteers distributed gifts to children in 45 camps where residents of the region are refugees. Volcanologists believe that a volcanic eruption is imminent.

At January 15, 2018 , the Philippine government is asking 12,000 people to evacuate the seven-kilometer security perimeter around Mayon again after a significant increase in activity in previous days.

London, Great Britain
New York, USA
Paris, France Paris, France0005 The best cities with a loyal attitude towards visitors Moving to the best cities to live can be difficult due to the migration policies of countries. To obtain a residence permit, in most cases, you need to have a good reason: for example, to receive an invitation to work in a country or to marry a citizen of it. Some countries offer visas, residency or citizenship to investors. To take part in the investment program, applicants invest a certain amount in the development of the economy of the selected state: they make a subsidy, open a business, buy real estate. Investment programs operate in Portugal, Greece, Spain and Malta. In the USA, you can get a visa for investment. In Austria and Switzerland, cosmopolitans receive a residence permit for financially independent persons: with it you can live in the country, but you cannot work and do business. Of the top 10 cities to live in, only four are available for relocation under the investment program: New York, Los Angeles, Madrid and Barcelona. We have selected several more cities in countries where cosmopolitans can get a residence permit or a visa for investment. We tell you where it is comfortable to live, relax and do business, and where it is profitable to buy real estate. We tell you which countries have the best citizenship programs for investors and how to become a member of them: costs, terms, special conditions The cleanest and most comfortable city . It has largely retained its historical appearance: the townspeople take care of the old buildings. Vienna is also famous for coffee houses, cultural events, museums and universities. Vienna ranked first in the ranking of cities with the best environment. There are many parks here, and locals prefer public transport to private cars. Vienna consistently ranks first in the rankings of the best cities to live in. In 2018 and 2019, she was recognized as the best by The Economist’s The Global Liveability Index. And from 2010 to 2019, she got the first place in the rating of quality of life in cities, which is compiled by Mercer. Austria offers wealthy people to obtain a residence permit for financially independent persons. Investment is not required, but it must be confirmed that the applicant and his family have enough money to live in the country. This program was created specifically for those who want to move: according to its conditions, you need to spend at least 183 days a year in Austria. How to get to the USA and the European Union without visas with a Russian passport? None. But with a residence permit and second citizenship – without visas and problems. Subscribe to the newsletter with verified industry news. Best city for quality of life Zurich, the financial capital of Switzerland, ranked 36th. The city is good for life, and for work, and for doing business. Zurich is a well-groomed and safe city. There is a high standard of living, few unemployed. And here are the offices of several companies from the Global Fortune 500: for example, Migros, Credit Swiss, UBS Group AG. Switzerland, like Austria, offers a residence permit for financially independent persons. To obtain and maintain the status, you need to pay a lump-sum tax annually. It is 450,000 ₣. Also, according to the rules, residents spend at least 183 days a year in Switzerland. Münsterhof Square, Zurich Best Cities for Doing Business In 2020, Startup Genome released the Global Startup Ecosystem 2020 report. It ranks the best cities in the world for startups. The first three positions are occupied by San Francisco, New York and London. San Francisco tops the rankings with famed Silicon Valley, an area home to many high-tech companies. In the ranking of the best cities in the world, San Francisco is in 14th place. The experts highly appreciated the opportunities for education and the economy of the city. Also, many educated people and migrants live here, so the city has a rather high cultural level, and it is easier for visitors to integrate into society. New York ranked second in the ranking of the best cities to live in. He was recognized as the first in cultural life and the second in promotion and popularity among tourists. And there are many opportunities for work and business here: the city ranked fourth in the number of offices of companies from the Global Fortune 500. The United States offers investors two types of visas. EB5 – passive investor visa: you need to invest at least $ 900,000 in an American company, and it is not necessary to take part in its work. An E2 visa involves opening a business in the country. The amount of investment is not defined, but usually it is from $100,000. Russians can only get an EB5 visa. This option is not suitable for everyone due to the high amount of investment and the long wait – it will be possible to move only after one and a half to two years. To obtain an E2 visa, you must be a citizen of a country that has signed an agreement to do so with the United States. For example, Grenada is a state in the Caribbean. There you can get a passport for investments in the economy from $150,000. To obtain citizenship of Grenada and an E2 visa to the United States, an investor needs to invest at least $250,000. Applicants receive a second passport in 4-6 months. It takes from 2 to 5 months to get a visa. It is faster and cheaper than an EB5 visa. Individual calculation of the cost of citizenship of Grenada Make an individual calculation London is the first in the ranking of the best cities to live in. It took first place in popularity among tourists and second place in cultural life. London is famous for its high standard of living and business opportunities. This is one of the business capitals of the world: the city ranks fifth in terms of the number of offices of companies from the Global Fortune 500. London also became the second in terms of infrastructure development: famous museums, parks, and universities are located here. This makes it one of the most convenient cities to live in. The UK issues a special Investor Visa to wealthy foreigners who invest more than £2 million in business in the country. The visa is issued for three years. It allows you to live, do business and study in the country. In 2020, 216 investors and 375 members of their families received an investor visa. The result was 40% lower than in 2019. At the same time, the percentage of refusals according to the statements of investors has doubled. But the Russians were not stopped by the crisis and closed borders. City of London Best city to visit Lisbon, the capital of neighboring Portugal, ranked 53rd in the ranking. It is a warm and sunny resort town. It’s also safe: Portugal has a low crime rate, and the locals are friendly to tourists. In 2020, Portugal was recognized as the best holiday destination in Europe. She has collected awards in 26 World Travel Awards nominations. Experts noted not only Lisbon, but also other resorts: Porto, the Algarve region, Madeira and the Azores. Moving to Portugal is suitable for those who choose a place to live by the sea. To settle in Portugal, cosmopolitans receive a residence permit by investment. The most popular option is the purchase of new real estate in the amount of €500,000 or more: you can immediately buy a house or apartment for yourself and your family to move in. But there are other options as well. The minimum investment amount for the program is 250,000 €. Individual calculation of the cost of residence permit in Portugal Make an individual calculation Best city to buy real estate Barcelona took eighth place in the ranking of the hundred best cities in the world. It is popular with tourists: the city has many beaches, parks and attractions. And also the sun: the sky is not overcast for about 260 days a year. Barcelona is regularly ranked among the top 10 most beautiful places to live. In 2019, Flight Network ranked the city 6th out of 50 in a similar ranking. The coronavirus pandemic has hit the Spanish property market hard. Discounts on housing reach up to 30%, more and more ads with urgent sale marks appear. At the end of 2020, the average cost per square meter in the country was 1391 €. In the summer of the same year, prices were at the level of 1730 € per square meter. Real estate prices will recover when the borders open and the tourist flow returns. Investors will be able to earn on renting and selling objects or choose a profitable offer for themselves. To move to Barcelona, you can take part in the Spanish residence permit program by investment. Cosmopolitans invest from 500,000 €. One of the options is buying real estate. Barcelona, Spain City of high potential Athens ranked 29th in the ranking of the best cities to live and do business. The compilers of the rating highly appreciated the sights, museums and nightlife of the city. Athens has a low cost of living compared to other European countries. According to the Numbeo website, daily expenses there are 46% higher than in Moscow. The same indicator for Barcelona is 60%, and for Vienna it is 71%. Athens is a pleasant place to live because of its warm climate and proximity to the Aegean Sea. The hottest month is July, with an average daytime temperature of +32.5℃. The water in the sea in August warms up to +26.7 ℃. It is also sunny in the city: there are about 250 clear days a year. The Greek government is implementing economic reforms aimed at sustainable development and the fight against corruption. The efforts were evaluated by Moody’s: at the end of 2020, the country’s credit rating was raised to Ba3. And the European Commission predicts Greece’s GDP growth by 5% in 2021. The recovery of the country’s economy leads to an increase in the potential of the capital. Greece issues a residence permit for investment. The minimum investment amount is 250,000 €. Applicants buy real estate, rent hotels or apartments in tourist complexes. Best cities to live in Europe and the USA Each city is suitable for certain purposes: for example, to settle in a warm place by the sea, open a new company branch, provide children with a quality education. It happens differently: the city is chosen for love. We saw it once and wanted to walk along the embankment as often as possible, admire the architecture or drink coffee in that same cafe. Both methods are good in their own way. When the city is chosen, it remains to decide on the way to move. In some countries, resident status can be obtained for investment. This method is good because you do not have to look for a good reason to move – for example, look for a job and receive an invitation from the employer. 9Spain	Warm climate, beaches, attractions	Residence permit in Spain: investment from €500,000, 2-3 months to receive
