  TRAVEL RIGHT IN LANZAROTE

  To really understand responsible tourism in Lanzarote, there are few more important gurus to touch base with than Csar Manrique. He was a local visionary artist and architect, who worked closely with local authorities throughout the late 20th century to prevent his homeland from resort ruination. Tragically he died in 1992, but his work lives on and can be seen and read about throughout the island. Manriques statue El Diablo, the symbol of Lanzarotes National Park of Timanfaya, is like a reminder that all of us now need to keep the badness at bay. Dont let the devils of development do their worst. Dont let the water run out. And let the great creatures that love these waters as much as we do, swim free.

  WATER ON THE BRAIN

  Say no to captive dolphins

  ---

  Lanzarote has four captive dolphins, only introduced in 2017, in spite of a growing worldwide movement to put a stop to the captivity of sea mammals. Tourists can interact with captive dolphins and sea lions all in the name of education, apparently at over 100 a go.

  At Responsible Travel, we are totally opposed to the use of animals for entertainment purposes. See our campaign against captive orcas for more details of our stance on this, about the harm that it causes to mammals, and how there are so many alternative ways to see these beautiful creatures in the wild. Thankfully, many tourists are now aware of the impacts, and indeed some vacation companies are removing such parks from excursion lists. We encourage our responsible travelers to do the same.

  What you can do
  Go and see dolphins in the wild. There are several companies offering trips off Lanzarote. Various species of dolphins and whales can be seen throughout the year, and not too far from shore. Make sure that you use a company that has a responsible tourism policy of some sort and respects international guidelines on responsible dolphin or whale watching. Take a look at our Dolphin watching travel guide and our Whale watching travel guide for more details.

  Tap into the water issue

  ---

  Water is a big issue in Lanzarote, although when you see some resorts with their large swimming pools you would be forgiven for not realising. But it is important to realise that this is an arid island, not far from the Sahara. There is not a lot of rain – that is one of Lanzarotes big selling points after all. The remote location combined with its volcanic geology means that Lanzarotes water resources have to be carefully monitored at all times and most of it is desalinated sea water. This process also takes a lot of energy. So, when you see a sign asking you to be really careful about water usage, they mean it. We can enjoy these all year round gorgeous temperatures, but the impacts on water resources can be serious.

  What you can do
  All common sense, really. Dont shower three times a day, dont insist on your bed linen and towels being washed all the time, dont leave the tap running when you brush your teeth, and seek out places to stay that are environmentally aware, with smaller pools and an ethos that encourages you to use the much bigger, natural pool nearby: the Atlantic Ocean.

  ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS

  At Responsible Travel we feel that the nickname Lanzagrotty is an unfair one. However, when you examine the negative impacts of all inclusive resorts and some stretches of overdevelopment along parts of the south coast, you can soon see the grottier side to tourism. And by grotty, we mean tourism that doesnt value local community, the local economy or local culture. Where wrist bands mean more than doing the right thing. When profits and packing in the crowds overlook local culture and natural heritage.

  What to do
  Quite simply dont do the all inclusive resort thing. Stay local, eat local, play local. You will also have a more enriching experience of this island. Oh, and drink local too. Lanzarote wine is grown in a unique way and tastes wonderful. And spread the word among friends on social media that this island is about so much more than all inclusive.

  Responsible tourism tips

  TRAVEL BETTER IN LANZAROTE

  Be aware that Lanzarote is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, thanks to its unique landscape made up of 300 volcanoes. So be extra careful and leave absolutely no trace when you go hiking or biking.

  Electric car rental should be easier on an island like this, but sadly there are not enough quick charging stations. However, our fabulous vacation supplier, Lanzarote Retreats, has its own charging points for electric cars that they have on site for guests use.

  Cruise ships are an issue on Lanzarote, with some of the giant, floating hotels doing their irresponsible bit throughout the Canary Islands. We recommend small ship options instead.

  There is plenty of solar and wind power on the Canary Islands, and yet few of them use it as a main source of energy. Seek out eco accommodations that have the sense to go renewable, in a landscape where such resources are plentiful.

  Please dont pick wildflowers or lichen. Some of them have spent hundreds of years fighting to emerge again through the volcanic soil, so best leave them to continue their journey in peace.

  Please learn some Spanish and dont presume that because tourism is everywhere, so is English. Gracias and buenos das, or a por favor when you can, helps a bit. But be brave and try a few more phrases, or take a course before you go.

  Lanzarote Tourism – Hotel Reservations and tourist attractions

  Lanzarote is far from falling short of the natural diversity, beauty and uniqueness shared by all the other islands belonging to the Canary Islands Archipelago. The island in itself is a declared UNESCO biosphere reserve, which is a pretty powerful incentive for tourists in search of unspoiled nature. Yet, this is not the only asset with which Lanzarote takes pride in.

  On the contrary, a great deal of visitors believe that the efficient tourist formula of Lanzarote comes down to a combination of beaches and sun. Indeed, idleness seems to be one of the best ways of spending time in Lanzarote – further enabled by the beach bars, coffee shops and eating venues – but thorough tourists should be aware of the fact that the island is much more than that.

  Short History of Lanzarote

  The famed volcanic eruption in the 18th century obliterated much of the historic remnants in Lanzarote. Yet, the historic past of the island is not to be disregarded. Lanzarote is said to have been the first island of the Canary Islands Archipelago which was inhabited by man, and there are plenty of references made to this island praising the beauty and the fertility of the place. Herodotus, Plato, Plutarch and Pliny the Elder made such records, and the fact that Lanzarote was alternately visited and dominated by Phoenicians, Romans, Moors and, finally, Spain, proves that the place has been able, all this time, to draw the attention and the interest of such powers.

  Accommodation in Lanzarote

  Most of the cities, towns and villages in Lanzarote have developed into successful resorts, since the main economic activity of the island is represented by tourism. By consequence, accommodation solutions are to be found throughout the island. Beachfront hotels are the most popular among tourists, since they offer great views and are in the close proximity of beaches. As a curiosity, Arrecife, the capital city of Lanzarote, has the tallest hotel on the entire island, so one should expect the view not to fall short of the money paid for accommodation.

  Canarian traditional cuisine in Lanzarote

  Just as any of the Canary Islands, the gastronomic display of Lanzarote ranges from the ever present traditional Spanish cuisine – tortilla, tapas, paella, kebab – to international cuisine, of which the best represented is English food, given the historic and tourist relations between all of the Canary Islands and England. However, specific Canarian dishes are extremely high thought of by locals and tourists alike. So, the wrinkly potatoes (papas arrugadas) possibly dipped in mojo belong to the must-try category, along with the many pastry specialties made from gofio.

  Tourist Attractions and Objectives in Lanzarote

  The Canary Cetacean Museum, the Ethnographic Museum Tanit, the El Grifo Wine Museum and the Museum of Canarian Emigrants open the tourist objectives picture of Lanzarote, and they are paralleled by the Cesar Manrique Foundation and by the Museum of Contemporary Art. The Monument of the Farmer and El Morador del Rio complement the attractions which appeared as a result of the work of man. Yet, the natural objectives the island is replete with must be ticked off, the most notable being the Water Caverns (Los Jameos del Agua), the Green Caves of Lanzarote (Cueva de los Verdes) and El Golfo (located nearby the homonymous village).

  Events and Festivals of Lanzarote

  The year starts off with two major carnivals, namely, the Arrecife Carnival and the Puerto del Carmen Carnival. The International Jazz Festival, which is an event hosted by the entire archipelago, is also held in Lanzarote. Ironman Lanzarote and the National Day Festival are the most notable secular events. But one should not forget that Lanzarote, just as all the other Canary Islands and the entire Spain, in fact, has a pretty eventful calendar bristling with religious manifestations.

  Lanzarote is leading the way of sustainable tourism in Canary Islands

  Skip to content

  Lanzarote is a unique destination full of contrasts and surprises, where people live in harmony with nature. Devastating volcanic forces from the 18th and 19th centuries have shaped the island of Lanzarote in its magnificent beauty as we see it today. With dramatic volcanic peaks, craters, and lava rock rivers on one side and white-sanded beaches with crystal-clear waters on the other, Lanzarote will make you want to stay longer.

  Did you know, Lanzarote has such a unique landscape that back in 1993, UNESCO declared the island a Biosphere Reserve? The objective of a Biosphere Reserve is to preserve and generate natural and cultural values of a place through thoughtful use of resources, respect for the local society, and overall sustainable development.

  The sustainable tourism vision of Lanzarote island

  Canary Green met with Héctor Fernández Manchado, the CEO of Turismo Lanzarote, to get more insights on the vision of sustainable tourism in the Canary Islands and the success of Lanzarote. Héctor explains:

  “Even though sustainability is a trending topic nowadays, Lanzarote sustainability vision actually started more than 50 years ago when hardly anyone was talking about sustainable development linked to tourism. At the time, we were lucky to have president of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, José Ramírez Cerdá, and artist César Manrique leading the way. They had the vision to limit tourism activity to safeguard the cultural heritage of the island.”

  “This vision is still the foundation of what we are doing as an organization and as a community here in Lanzarote. Turismo Lanzarote aims to promote sustainable, slow tourism on Lanzarote island, encourage local businesses to be more sustainable as well as urge Lanzarote holidaymakers to approach nature with care, respect, and stay informed. Leave a minimal impact.”

  Héctor Fernández Manchado

  CEO of Turismo Lanzarote

  In the ’90s Lanzarote was the first of the Canary Islands to limit the expansive growth of tourism. Following the founding vision, Lanzarote keeps prioritizing quality tourists instead of mass tourism to prevent the negative impact on the environment and create a long-term-destination with its own character.

  What unites everyone in the Lanzarote tourism sector?

  The people of Lanzarote are committed to their future. Héctor discloses the secret ingredients of Lanzarote islands sustainable tourism success:

  1. The spirit of the place (Genius loci). César Manrique had a vision that it is impossible to become a valued tourism destination without the very people and the culture of the place – the genius loci. Something that is experienced and felt when visiting Lanzarote rather than something that necessarily exists, like a landmark or a city. It is the wholeness of the island created by everyone. From the taxi driver to the local artist on the corner of the street, to the ice cream vendor. Every single one of us here is responsible for shaping Lanzarote as a destination.
  2. The versatility of sustainable tourism. In essence, sustainability has three dimensions – social, economic, and environmental aspects. Social and economic aspects are often left behind when thinking about sustainable development, but those are the ones concerning local businesses, local culture, gastronomy, arts, experiences. In Lanzarote, we aim to embody all three aspects as equally important.
  3. The continuous growth of a sustainability mindset. In 2015, Lanzarote became one of the first destinations in the world to receive the prestigious Biosphere Responsible Tourism certification, granted by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, however, Turismo Lanzarote recognizes that this certification, although honorable, is not enough. For example, Turismo Lanzarote now has shifted its focus on zero-kilometer food, sustainable transportation, and the development of a methodology to measure sustainability and communicate it effectively to visitors. “You have to show your commitment to sustainability every single day. And you have to strive to be better. There is always something more you can do, so keep evolving!” Héctor says.

  Turismo Lanzarote is working on The Premier Product

  “Due to the pandemic, we can see changes in travelers. People are considering sustainability more seriously than in the past. Even Lanzarote needs to evolve faster to not lose the momentum,” Héctor says. More and more tourists are open to paying more for a vacation at a sustainable destination, where local businesses invest in sustainability. The Premier Product is a strategy for sustainable Lanzarote hotels to attract quality tourists instead of mass tourists. Héctor explains the idea:

  “Premier Product embodies the goal we aim to achieve in sustainable tourism in Lanzarote for all hotels and businesses. We are looking for responsible, sustainable travelers who view Lanzarote as a special destination and are willing to indulge in the local culture, have local experiences, and honor the local community. Premier Product is not a strategy for luxury. Rather it is a strategy for maintaining Lanzarote as a luxurious, authentic destination in all its glory – nature, the people, gastronomy, art, architecture, and culture.”

  Héctor Fernández Manchado

  CEO of Turismo Lanzarote

  Lanzarote is a pioneer in designing and offering experiences that leave a lasting impact on travelers while protecting the environment. “We don’t want to be a standard destination, we want to be a destination with a personality,” Héctor emphasizes. The best sustainable hotels on the island make a great effort to entice tourists to venture outside of their accommodations to explore the local culture and activities on offer. Along with sustainable accommodation, they offer a unique holiday experience and a chance to support the local economy. Here is what the Canary Green team can recommend for your next trip to Lanzarote:

  Where to stay

  • Kamezi Boutique Villas – a luxurious, authentic getaway with plenty of privacy. Located in the southernmost town of Lanzarote, Playa Blanca, Kamezi is a place where sustainability goes beyond environmental practices. Kamezi team is dedicated to offering their guests a sustainable luxury, an authentic experience honoring the local culture, art, and people.
  • If you have an urge to take a more experience-driven route, the family-owned business Lanzarote Retreats might just have the perfect accommodation for your next alternative holiday experience. Lanzarote Retreats offer multiple luxury villas, holiday homes, and eco-stays across the Lanzarote island. At their flagship location Finca de Arrieta, you will be immersed in the off-grid vibe inviting you to unplug and reconnect with nature.
  • When it comes to sustainable construction, architecture, and smart building systems, the five-star La Isla y El Mar is the flagship hotel on Lanzarote island! Located in one of the main tourist resorts of the island, Puerto del Carmen, La Isla y El Mar is an oasis of peace and relaxation where the body rests and the heart enjoys.

  It is very worth it, you spend a great day and they take you through the most impressive places and without queuing even once. The guide that touched us (Carlos) explains all kinds of curiosities and is a phenomenon. And a big round of applause to the bus driver for his great skill. I recommend taking precautions for motion sickness if you are sensitive to it.

  Very good trip. The only negative point was the lunch break in a town with few restaurants. The restaurant recommended with a buffet at 10 euros has an unpleasant boss, we fled… The positive points of this excursion are the places offered, the professionalism and the friendliness of the guide. We recommend this excursion.

  The tour is exactly what is offered. Everything is very controlled and they even always add another visit that they do not charge you. In our case, it was the Mirador del Rio. They stop to eat in a typical Canarian house, with an all-you-can-eat buffet for 10 euros in a beautiful town.

  The Spanish island of Lanzarote is the most unusual of all the Canary Islands. The island owes its fantastic landscapes and unique landscapes to frequent volcanic eruptions, the last of which occurred from 1730 to 1736.
  The majestic Timanfaya National Park has become the main attraction on the island of Lanzarote, in which there are about three hundred volcanic craters that are not extinct, but only dormant. The valley covered in multi-colored lava and ash is an amazing sight, and the fact that hot lava is located near the surface will add to your thrill.

  The talented artist and architect Cesar Manrique had a strong influence on the modern look of the island of Lanzarote, with his work he emphasized the truly extraterrestrial beauty and uniqueness of the island. Thanks to the efforts of Manrique, high-rise construction is prohibited on the island, the islanders build their houses in the traditional style, and their snow-white walls harmoniously fit into the natural landscape. In order not to violate the integrity of the perception of the true natural beauty of the island, elements of traditional architecture were also used in the construction of the hotel infrastructure.
  Impressive creations by César Manrique, Jameos del Agua Complex – part of volcanic caves with an underground lake, which houses a concert hall with amazing acoustics and a real tropical garden, his own house built in caves formed by volcanic lava – later turned into a museum, The cactus garden and many of his other projects are always popular with tourists.

  On this Spanish island you will find a varied selection of excursions that will introduce you to the local cultural attractions and museums. Among the historical monuments, tourists are most interested in the two forts of Castillo de San Gabriel and Castillo de San Jose, located in the capital of the island of Arrecife, which houses a gallery of modern art. You can admire the masterpieces of ancient architecture, palaces, temples and monasteries by visiting the ancient city of Teguise.

  Lanzarote has many excellent beaches, some of which have been awarded the Blue Flag. The most beautiful beaches are located in the main resorts of Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca, as well as in the vicinity of the largest and oldest resort of Puerto del Carmen. Water activities on the island are also plentiful, especially for windsurfing, surfing and kite surfing the stunning sandy beach of Famara, one of the best in the Canary Islands.

  An excellent place for diving is the crystal clear waters of the resorts of Puerto del Carmen and neighboring Puerto Calero. On the south coast of the island is the resort of Playa Blanca, this actively developing tourist center with white sand beaches is an excellent choice for families with children.
  Fans of nightlife, bars, pubs, discos, clubs with live music will certainly enjoy their stay in Puerto del Carmen, this largest resort in Lanzarote guarantees fun nights and a variety of choices.

  Vineyards of Lanzarote – tours and holidays in Spain

  If you have already planned your trip to the Canary Islands and bought trips to Spain, be sure to include the island of Lanzarote in your itinerary. This piece of land is popular among tourists as “the island of 300 volcanoes” or “the island of fire-breathing mountains.” Believe me, he will not leave you indifferent.

  The landscape of this island was formed under the action of volcanoes. Since 1730, for six years, volcanoes have “washed” it with lava and sprinkled with ash. Needless to say, it looks deserted. There are no reservoirs here, the vegetation is very sparse, and precipitation is rare. It’s amazing that people who always have an evacuation plan live here at all.

  In such conditions, it seems that there can be no talk of any kind of agriculture, but the soil turned out to be favorable for growing grapes. Local plantations have become a real attraction, which you should definitely visit by renting a car in Spain.

  Most of the volcanic vineyards are located in the La Geria valley. The thick layer of ash that covers it turned out to be an almost ideal environment for this plant. The vine from the island of Lanzarote is distinguished by the fact that it “does not know how” to grow upwards, it braids a funnel with a radius of several meters. Local winemakers have even learned to do without complex devices for artificial irrigation. Saturation with moisture occurs due to the condensation of dew on the walls of the funnel, which helps to keep the ashes. Basalt structures along the perimeter of the funnel protect the plants from the winds.

  The grapes in these parts are not large, but the yield is simply amazing. Even on the mainland, not all wine masters can boast such a quantity of grapes. So local planters can collect about forty kilograms of berries from the vine. Anyone who knows a lot about wine will definitely appreciate the achievements of the local wine industry, the island produces about two million liters of wine per year. As a rule, excursions include a visit to local wine cellars, where you can buy a bottle of excellent wine for just six euros.

  Besides the vineyards, Lanzarote has much to offer. So just one day spent on this piece of land will give you a lot of positive emotions and leave a lot of pleasant memories.

  What to watch. Tourist information

  The municipality of Tias, located south of the center of Lanzarote, is one of the main tourist destinations of the island. In addition to picturesque settlements away from the coast, surrounded by unique volcanic landscapes, here you will find excellent tourist infrastructure on the ocean.

  More than six kilometers long, this coastline is home to extensive beaches such as Playa Grande, Matagorda and Los Pocillos. Puerto del Carmen is the main coastal town of Tias. Here you will find a wide range of leisure and tourism offerings, including numerous restaurants and shops, as well as a sports port where you can practice water sports or take boat trips. On any of the terraces of the restaurants, bathed in sunlight and overlooking the sea, you can taste the typical delicious cuisine of Lanzarote.

  Thias was one of the first places where the development of tourism in Lanzarote began. This was facilitated by the significant potential of its coast, with numerous beaches with fine sand, as well as villages far from the ocean, attracting attention with tradition and originality. These are such settlements as Conil , Tegoyo, Masdache and Tias itself. Small villages with shining white houses stand out against the unique dark landscapes surrounding them with lava and volcanic ash. On calm, uncrowded streets, visitors can admire beautiful corners and numerous buildings with elements of traditional architecture. Puerto del Carmen On the coast is located Puerto del Carmen , one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island. Its white houses are located on a slope near the natural port La Tiñosa , on the site of an old fishing village. Here rises one of his most interesting buildings, La Candelaria Church , built at the end of the 18th century after Thias received parish status. Luxury hotels, apartment complexes, shops, restaurants and even casinos are some of the elements modern infrastructure for leisure and tourism that are waiting for you here. As evening falls, ‘s numerous terraces, pubs and discotheques offer a lively nightlife. These offers are complemented by the many opportunities that can be found at Sports Port : various water sports and excursions on the ship to the neighboring island Fuerteventura or Lobos Islet. There are about six kilometers of excellent sandy beaches in Puerto del Carmen and its surroundings: Playa Blanca , Los Pocillos or Matagorda . Thanks to the excellent climate throughout most of the year, this place is perfect for enjoying the sea and practicing sports such as windsurfing . Surroundings and Gastronomy Thias is located south of the center of the island and from here you can easily reach other interesting towns. A few kilometers to the south is Yaisa , a historic village where you can see traces of the first settlements on the island. The volcanic nature of this area has created places of incomparable beauty here, such as El Golfo or Los Hervideros. However, the most important tourist attraction is undoubtedly Timanfaya National Park , a prime example of the island’s volcanic ecosystem. His visit includes the Volcano Route bus tour, which starts at the visitor center. Surrounding this park is Los Volcanes Natural Park , with fields of volcanic ash and lava that reach all the way to the coast. Heading north you will reach settlements such as San Bartolome , where it is worth seeing the house of Major Guerra and the house of Achaeus, as well as Tinajo , where in the sanctuary of Mancha Blanca the Virgin of Virgen de los Dolores, the patroness of the island, is venerated. Nearby is the capital of the island, Arrecife . There are two fortresses worth visiting in this port and trading city: the castles of San Gabriel and San Jose. The cuisine of Tias, like the whole island, includes such delicious dishes as ranchos (a typical pork stew), and the famous papas arrugadas (potatoes boiled with salt) served with mojos sauces. Lanzarote’s cuisine also includes excellent seafood and fresh fish such as “vieja” (Mediterranean laura), served stewed or baked . Local cheeses, soft and aged, enjoy well-deserved recognition. Wines with designation of origin Lanzarote are mainly produced in the La Geria region, belonging to the municipal district of Yaiza. Aromatic sweet wines, white wines and red wines “Crianza” stand out among them.

  Lanzarote tourism – Hotel reservations and tourist attractions

  Lanzarote diversity, uniqueness and beauty of nature belonging to0011 Canary Islands . The island is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, which is a very strong incentive for tourists who are looking for untouched nature, without human intervention. But this is not the only capital that Lanzarote can boast of.

  On the other hand, many visitors believe that the island Lanzarote comes down to a combination of beaches and the sun. Indeed, lying in the sun seems to be the best way to spend time in Lanzarote – called apart from bars, cafes and places to eat lying on the beach, but conscientious tourists should be aware that the island has much more to offer.

  Lanzarote – A Brief History of

  The famous volcanic eruption in the eighteenth century destroyed much of Lanzarote’s historical remains. However, the island’s past should not be ignored. It is said that the island of Lanzarote of the Canaries archipelago was the first island inhabited by people, and there are many references to that island, which boasts the beauty and fertility of the site. Herodotus, Plato, Plutarch and Pliny the Elder made reports, and the fact that Lanzarote was dominated in turn by Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, and finally España proves that the site was able to attract the attention and interest of such empires.

  Accommodation in Lanzarote

  All cities, towns and villages Lanzarote have evolved into successful resorts, as the main economic activity on the island is tourism. Thus accommodation solutions can be found all over the island. Hotels located on the beach are the most popular among tourists, they offer a beautiful view, and as close to the coast as possible. Like a curiosity, Arrecife , the capital of Lanzarote, has the highest hotel in the entire island, so tourists expect the view to match the amount paid for accommodation .

  Spanish Cuisine in Lanzarote

  Like any of the Canary Islands , Lanzarote has a parade of gourmet dishes, the usual range from traditional Spanish cuisine – tortillas, tapas, paella, kebabs – to international cuisine that features the best of English food, given the historical links between tourism and the Canary Islands and England. However, the specific food of the Canary Islands is very popular with locals and tourists. Thus, potato wrinkles ( papas arrugadas ), possibly dipped in mojo , belong to the must-try category, along with the specialty from the test gofio .

  Lanzarote tourist attractions

  The Canary Cetacean Museum of Cetaceans, Tanit Ethnographic Museum , El Griffio Wine Museum, Canary Migrant Museum open interest in Lanzarote, and founding fund of Cesar Manrique and the Museum of Modern Art, Peasant’s Monument and view of the river, sights that have arisen as a result of human activity. But we must not forget about natural objects, especially in the cave of water ( Los Jameos del Agua ), Green Caves ( Cueva de los Verdes ) and bay .

  Winter Holidays in Europe | Destinations & Ideas

  Prague’s storybook castles, Harrods’ Christmas windows, the sights along the Seine through snow – beguiling European cities deck themselves out for holiday travellers. The magic of the season wafts up from snow-edged cobblestone streets and mixes with the aromas of hot cocoa and fresh-baked bread from charming cafés.

  Here, time-honoured traditions and new sources of holiday cheer swirl together as expert Four Seasons Concierges, as well as savvy locals, reveal how best to explore them during this most wonderful time of year.

  In the wintertime, Prague’s hilltop castle, narrow cobbled streets and towering spires put on their winter charms. Guests of Four Seasons Hotel Prague can embark on a horse-drawn carriage ride to the traditional Christmas market stalls in Old Town Square, enjoying mulled wine and roasted chestnuts along the way. Concierge Stanislav Malek also recommends visiting the markets in the Vinohrady district for an authentic local experience. He advises those with an appetite to sample a trdelnik, “a delicious pastry made from fluffy dough and coated with cinnamon and sugar.”

  Locals rave about Café NG Kinský as the perfect spot to look out on Old Town Square over perfect pastries or perhaps a Pilsner. And not only does Prague have some of the most beautiful and storied churches in all of Europe, the Museum of Decorative Arts has an unrivalled collection of glass objects, collected over centuries, to put a twinkle in your eye.

  The City of Light in all its holiday glory

  The City of Light lives up to its name during the holiday season: Elaborate displays illuminate store windows near the Palais Garnier, and the Champs-Élysées sparkles all the way from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe.

  Take to the city’s charming streets with a bag of roasted chestnuts, or feast on seasonal specialties like oysters and bûche de Noël (a pastry Yule log). Christian Le Squer, Executive Chef at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, recommends shopping for gourmet gifts at Le Bon Marché, the world’s oldest department store, as well as the Christmas markets at Montmartre and La Défense. To go even deeper into the old world, visit the recently expanded middle ages museum, Musée de Cluny, which offers some of the country’s most ancient treasures. After a day spent perusing, Le Squer recommends warming up with a meal of seasonal classics: “When it’s cold outside I like to eat traditional French winter dishes,” he says quite sensibly, “like boeuf bourguignon and blanquette de veau. ”

  At this time of year, Parisians point to Girafe, housed in an elegant 1930s space reimagined by Joseph Durand, for unparalleled seafood and views of the Eiffel Tower in its December splendour. Others might prefer to catch a glimpse of the glittering tower from the giant windows at the Palais de Tokyo. If browsing the Christmas stalls on Saint-Germain-des-Prés puts you in the mood for a sweet treat, head to Jacques Genin, where the hot chocolate is legendary among the locals, as is the absolutely architectural lemon meringue pie at Le Loir Dans la Théière.

  Mayfair Christmas lights in London

  From sparkling, one-of-a-kind shops and spectacular window displays along Regent and Bond streets to ice rinks with iconic backdrops like Somerset House, London is full of holiday cheer.

  Guests visiting Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane will find much to explore in the surrounding streets of Mayfair. “After a winter stroll in Green Park, I recommend guests make their way to Mount Street to shop for stylish gifts before warming up with a mulled wine at The Audley, a traditional English pub with ornate décor and cosy leather banquettes,” says Guest Services Manager Toby Gray. And venture out to the Royal Albert Hall for its Carols by Candlelight concert, two evenings of seasonal classics performed in full 18th-century costume on December 23 and 24.

  London’s distinguished shoppers head to Notting Hill, specifically Westbourne Grove and Ledbury Road. Between stops at designer boutiques and Matches Fashion, one can pop into Ottolenghi for some of the legendary chef’s roasted aubergine with feta yoghurt, mint, almonds and pomegranate. If Christmas cookies are your thing, head to Biscuiteers Boutique and Icing Café on Kensington Park Road for exemplary versions featuring hand-drawn art. And for a unique experience, locals point to Felt, situated in one of Chelsea’s most charming squares, for vintage jewellery and pop-ups frequented by fashion editors and royals alike.

  With its dramatic views of the Alps, its cobblestone streets lined with luxury boutiques and chocolate shops, and its restaurants serving fondue and foie gras, Geneva is the perfect spot for a festive foodie escape. “For the best fondue in the city, head to Au Vieux Carouge, or try a traditional raclette [hard cow’s-milk cheese heated under a grill and scraped over boiled potatoes as it melts] at Les Armures in the Old Town,” says Mina Bayat, Chief Concierge at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva.

  In addition to the Christmas light displays along Rue du Rhône and Rue du Marché, just steps away from the Hotel you’ll find a magical Christmas market at Parc des Bastions. There, you can browse unique creations from dozens of skilled local artisans while sipping local Vin Chaud (mulled wine).

  If you’re feeling ambitious, hop on the train to stunning Montreux – it’s about an hour’s ride through countryside so gorgeous you could be on the Polar Express. Once there, explore the spectacular Christmas market, or head 45 minutes north to Corsier-sur-Vevey to visit Chaplin’s World, a quirky museum dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and housed in his former home.

  Back in Geneva, a meal at Auberge du Lion d’Or provides uninterrupted views of the city’s namesake lake, as well as the gold standard of modern French cuisine. If you want the classic Genevan dish, look to Café du Port and its filet de perche. Afterwards, Yvette de Marseille or Bottle Brothers, both on Rue Henri-Blanvalet, can provide the perfect digestif – and the cheery atmosphere in which to enjoy it.

  Start planning your next celebration.

  date of celebration and traditions of Catholic Christmas

  The decision to celebrate Christmas on December 25 was made at the Third Ecumenical Church Council in the 5th century. Since then, the December pre-holiday period and Christmas itself have been the most fun and hectic time of the year.

  Holiday traditions

  Christmas fairs and markets begin to work in almost all European cities, houses and shops are decorated with special decorations: illuminated garlands, decorated Christmas trees and white fluffy snow.

  Already closer to Christmas in Europe, children begin to go home with caroling – they sing holiday songs and say good wishes to the family. And in return they receive gifts: roasted chestnuts, gingerbread and sweets.

  In Catholic countries before Christmas there is no such strict fast as the Orthodox, but there is Advent. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and is considered a time of spiritual cleansing. Each week of Advent has its own name: the first is called iron, the second is bronze, the third is silver, and the last is golden.

  And already on December 25, on Christmas itself, three festive liturgies are held in churches: night mass, morning mass (at dawn) and afternoon mass. Thus, Christmas is celebrated three times.

  By the way, in the Catholic Church, Christmas is secretly placed at the head of church holidays, while among the Orthodox it is considered the second main holiday after Easter.

  History of the holiday

  Two of the four evangelists, Luke and Matthew, have a detailed account of the birth of the Messiah. There are also references to this event in two apocryphal (that is, not included in the biblical canon) gospels – Pseudo-Matthew and the Proto-Gospel of James.

  In Russia, Christmas began to be celebrated in the 10th century, after the official adoption of Christianity. In general, around the world, Christmas is one of the most important Christian holidays that have received state status in more than 100 countries (see map below).

  Schematic: World Map Blank.

  The main symbols of Catholic Christmas

  Advent wreath

  It is made from spruce paws, twigs, just wooden branches. Such a wreath symbolizes not only the theme of Christmas, but also focuses on the fact that this holiday is a family one. The wreath is hung on the front door, placed on the windowsill or placed on the dining table.

  The Advent wreath is a family symbol of Christmas. Photo: pixabay.com

  And for the first time in history, such a wreath was made by theologian Johann Hinrich Wiehern. He wove it for children from poor families, whom he took up. They constantly asked the teacher when Christmas would come, and then he made a wreath from … an old wooden wheel, decorating it with 19 red small candles and 4 large white ones. The children lit one red candle each day, and on Sundays a white one. When the last candle burned out, it was Christmas.

  Candles

  No Christmas is complete without candles. Photo: pixabay.com

  This is another invariable attribute of the holiday. Most often, candles for Christmas use red or white, although there are fashionable art exceptions. In recent years, real candles have been increasingly replaced by electrical counterparts, when instead of fire, the light of a small light bulb in the form of a flame flickers in the candles.

  Festive candles are lit by the fireplace, on the window or during dinner, when the whole family has gathered at the table.

  Gift socks

  Christmas in Western countries is closely connected with the New Year. And this means that one of the main characters of these days is Santa Claus (whose prototype is the Christian Saint Nicholas, or, in our opinion, Nicholas) Unlike our Santa Claus, Santa puts gifts not under the tree, but going down the chimney , leaves them in special red socks for gifts. The socks themselves are hung next to the Christmas tree or by the fireplace.

  In Europe, Santa Claus brings gifts not under the Christmas tree, but in a sock. Photo: @any-lane, pexels.com

  By the way, the custom of putting gifts in socks dates back to the Victorian era. It was then that a legend arose that Santa Claus, flying over one of the houses, dropped a couple of gold coins – and they fell straight through the chimney into a sock that was drying over the fireplace. Since then, on Christmas night, it is customary to hang up socks in anticipation of gifts.

  Hay

  In some countries it is customary to keep a small pile of hay under the tree or just in the living room. Or even put hay under the tablecloth on the festive table.

  Hay serves as a symbol of poverty and an occasion to remember the barn and manger in the Bethlehem cave where Jesus was born.

  Why Catholics and Orthodox celebrate Christmas at different times

  This is due to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. Before that, people lived according to the Julian style, which was established by the emperor Julius Caesar in 46 BC, but over the centuries and years in this calendar, every 128 years, one unaccounted day ran.

  Therefore, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII replaced the Julian calendar with the more accurate Gregorian.

  However, in Russia they preferred to leave the old style, because in those days the whole country was closely connected with faith and the church, and the Orthodox Church did not welcome the then changes.

  Since then, Western Christians (Catholics and Protestants), as well as some Orthodox autocephalous churches, celebrate Christmas on December 25th. Here are the details on which church celebrates Christmas when:

  December 25, Catholics and Orthodox Churches in Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt celebrate Christmas.

  January 7, Orthodox Christians in Russia, Jerusalem, Serbia, Georgia, and Mount Athos celebrate Christmas.

  Copenhagen

  The Christmas and New Year holidays are a great opportunity to finally learn what the principles of hygge are, because in winter the atmosphere of comfort is especially important. To unravel the secrets of Danish happiness, go to Copenhagen. In December, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, Tivoli, becomes a point of attraction here, where today you can ride both old carousels and roller coasters.

  Outside the park, there’s plenty to do too: try the Danish glög with apple donuts ebleskiver, admire the façade of the Hotel d’Angleterre (decorated differently each year), and stop by Royal Copenhagen’s flagship china shop for inspiration from one of six designer table settings holiday table.

  Vienna

  Most of us first think of Vienna when we hear the phrase “Christmas atmosphere”, and this is not surprising. The tradition of winter fairs here dates back to 1298 year – it was then that King Albrecht gave the citizens of Vienna the right to conduct them. Today in the city you can visit twenty official Christmas markets, the main of which is the fair on the Town Hall Square. Here you can not only buy traditional handicrafts and sweets, but also go ice skating.

  On the first day of the new year, the famous concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra takes place in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musical Society – it is almost impossible to buy tickets for it. However, in any case, you will have a chance to enjoy classical music: from January 2, works by Mozart and Strauss will sound every evening in the luxurious baroque hall of Schönbrunn Palace.

  Prague

  Another city that really suits Christmas is Prague. You can go to the capital of the Czech Republic already on December 5: this is the day of St. Nicholas, which marks the beginning of the Christmas holidays. The main city fair is located on the Old Town Square (here, every day until January 6, the Christmas tree will be solemnly lit to the music from the fairy tale movie “Three Nuts for Cinderella”).

  Climb the tower of the town hall to appreciate the view of the winter Old Town, then have a bite of traditional Czech treat – trdelnik with cinnamon, wash it down with mulled wine and go to listen to an organ concert in the baroque church of St. Nicholas. Christmas mood guaranteed!

  Colmar

  Colmar, one of the most picturesque cities in the French province of Alsace, can be an excellent option for a romantic New Year’s Eve weekend. Medieval buildings and Renaissance buildings have been preserved in the center, and canals in the Little Venice quarter and multi-colored half-timbered houses have become the hallmark of Colmar. Six Christmas markets take place here, each of which specializes in a separate direction. We advise you not to miss the local food market in the square in front of the Cathedral of Saint Martin: French spiced bread, oysters, foie gras, Alsatian bredele and other local delicacies will be a great addition to gifts to yourself.

  Hallstatt

  If you’re lucky with the weather, Hallstatt in December will make you feel like you’re in a real winter fairy tale. This village is located in a remote area surrounded by mountains on the shores of Lake Hallstatt. Here you will not find noisy fairs, so this place is more likely for those who want to forget about the bustle of the city for a week.

  Every morning, as if for the first time, you will admire magnificent views – Hallstatt is not for nothing called the pearl of Austria. The village made such a strong impression on one Chinese magnate that in 2012 a replica of the village was built in his homeland. A bonus to walking through the snow-covered medieval streets will be trips to the nearby Eherntal valley with ice caves and, of course, skiing on the alpine slopes.

  Nuremberg

  The ancient Bavarian city of Nuremberg is considered the German Christmas capital: one of the largest fairs in Europe takes place here in December. There, you should pay attention to handmade toys from local craftsmen – one of the most popular are carved figurines of “smokers”, inside of which smoking incense is placed.

  Nuremberg is very well located – if you wish, you can quickly get to other cities where Christmas holidays are celebrated on a grand scale (for example, Munich, Prague and Frankfurt am Main. Design lovers should definitely look at the latter at the beginning of the new of the year: from January 7 to 10, the international exhibition of textiles and fabrics for the interior Heimtextile will be held there. 0003

  Budapest

  A winter trip to Budapest is an interesting experience, if only because here you can end your walk in the center at any time with a swim in the open-air thermal pools of Széchenyi. Before that, take a stroll through the Christmas market on Vörösmarty Square and check out the antique shops and art galleries on Falka Miksi Street. Also, don’t miss the chance to see The Nutcracker ballet (the famous main building of the Opera House is currently under reconstruction, so performances are held at the Erkel Theatre): ticket prices will pleasantly surprise you.

  Barcelona

  If you want to experience the European Christmas flavor, but don’t want to take a down jacket and a thermos with you, head to Barcelona: here the daytime temperature will be above +10 °C. The local Gothic quarter is not inferior to the central regions of other European cities, and a very special magic lies in the bizarre buildings of Gaudí and his followers.

  On January 5, a ship will land at the Mole de la Fusta pier, carrying the Three Wizard Kings: Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar. On this day, they, along with their retinue, will parade through the main streets of the city – do not miss this spectacular procession.

  Holidays in Europe : REDOMM.RU

  At the end of 2010, tired of the cold autumn and very frosty December, my beloved and I decided that at least a warm spring should start earlier for us. Thus, the idea was born to go to Europe in February-March – to visit friends, to visit familiar favorite cities and those that have not yet been seen. The trip out of habit was completely self-planned. Visas were made at the German Consulate in Novosibirsk – very convenient – the whole process took 2 days. As a result, together with the road to Novosibirsk and small expenses, 2 visas cost us 5 thousand cheaper than if we paid the travel agency. Tickets to Munich were bought at the December air ticket sale with a 40% discount. And now, 9February 2011 we flew to Munich. In Krasnoyarsk at that moment it was -18 degrees, in Munich – sunny +6. When I saw the green lawns at the airport, it became clear – here it is, the desired spring!

  Munich has a very convenient transport system – you can get from the airport to the city center by metro. We settled in the hostel “AO” near the railway station and the city center, the cost of a double room is 25 euros per day.

  On the first day we decided to visit the DEUTSCHES MUSEUM. This museum presents an exposition dedicated to very different areas of knowledge. This is one of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. 5 hours flew by unnoticed and very interesting. Ticket price – 8.5 euros

  Near the museum

  After a journey through the museum full of knowledge, we decided to have a rest, walking in the park, of which there are a great many. Munich is a very “green” city

  There are a lot of personalized benches in the park

  The next day we bought a Bavarian ticket and went to Noeschwanstein castle (with this ticket up to 5 people can travel around Bavaria on all types of transport during the day) . It costs 19.6 euros. First we traveled 2 hours by train, then another 10 minutes by bus. And now – again mountains and snow

  Another castle, Hohenschwangau, is located in this area. We bought one ticket to both castles – it’s cheaper that way. Both castles have excellent audio guides in Russian, the total cost of excursions is about 10 euros

  Hohenschwangau is a castle less famous than Noeschwanstein, but also very interesting.

  Noeschwanstein Castle can be reached on foot by road – about 30 minutes, or by horse-drawn carriage for 5 euros.

  The most beautiful view of the castle opens from the Marienbrücke bridge.

  And this is the same bridge from which the previous frame was taken.

  The next day we went to the BMW Museum and the Olympic Park.

  I could not resist my favorite chair from VITRA 🙂

  Olympic Stadium

  🙂

  The last day in Munich – a walk around the city

  The next day we went to visit Cesky Krumlov by car with friends from the Czech Republic. On the way we passed the city of Passau – located at the confluence of three rivers.

  And here we are in the Czech Republic. Cesky Krumlov is a very beautiful city in the south of the country. Already been there in the summer, but it is one of those towns where you want to return again and again.

  View of the castle

  In the courtyard of the castle.

  Krumlov has a lot of tourists in summer. February is very quiet.

  View of the historical center of the city from the castle

  Place from which the previous picture was taken

  I love Europe for nice details. February 14 🙂

  A couple of night views

  And of course, one cannot but mention Czech cuisine – very, very tasty. Portions are huge. And the cafes themselves are beautiful and cozy – a real pleasure …

  After Krumlov we spent 10 days in Prague, but we devoted little time to tourist places, since we had already been in this beautiful city. Of the interesting – went to the Museum of Alfons Mucha, looked into the Prague Castle, the Museum of Toys..

  In the Museum of A. Mucha. I have long wanted to see his work up close.

  The Toy Museum has the largest private collection of toys in the world. Quite diverse, it should be noted 🙂

  View of the Golden Lane from the Toy Museum. This time it was under reconstruction and we didn’t manage to get there

  Friends arrived 🙂 we eat Czech waffles 🙂

  Happy Prague! Then we go to Dresden.

  Theater

  Views of the historical center

  Embankment. View of the center

  There is a wonderful place in Dresden – Kunsthofpassage. These are 5 residential courtyards, shops and cafes are located on the lower floors of the houses. Each courtyard is dedicated to a different theme. Admire 🙂

  When it rains, a kind of “music” plays in this courtyard

  Shops sell mostly nice little things for the home 🙂

  Cafes in this area are also very good. Bamboo cafe. The owner himself brought us a cup of coffee and told us a little about the interior items and the materials from which they are made. It was very nice. Home-style 🙂

  From Dresden, friends took us by car to see Saxon Switzerland. For any resident of Krasnoyarsk, it looks almost the same as a trip to the Stolby. Only more and more civilized – everywhere stairs and handrails. 🙂 and there is even a bench on one of the peaks 🙂 but people of any age can visit this place with almost no problems

  a little attention here. This is the town of Meissen, a small, cute, wonderful place for a day trip. It is 50 minutes from Dresden by train.

  Well, that’s all 🙂 I have shown all the most memorable moments of our three-week trip! I hope you enjoyed watching and reading 🙂 thanks for your attention!

  New Year holidays and anti-covid restrictions in Russia

  Photo by UN News Service/A. Sedukhin

  Moscow, with its numerous museums and theaters, is the main city where tourists from all over the country come on New Year’s holidays.

  December 27, 2021

  Health

  Back in mid-December, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a series of recommendations on the prevention of COVID-19 in the winter, especially during the New Year and Christmas holidays. What measures are being taken or intended to be taken in Russia on the eve of the New Year? Our report from the Russian Federation.

  Reaching a plateau

  Russia is celebrating the New Year holidays against the backdrop of a relative stabilization of the epidemiological situation. On December 24, for the first time since mid-October, less than a thousand deaths from coronavirus were recorded per day across the country. However, the incidence rate remains high. The number of detected cases per day is almost 25 thousand people.

  Alexander Stepanov, a representative of the independent trade union Feldsher. ru and an ambulance officer, described the situation as follows: “From my own experience, I can say that the situation has stabilized and reached a plateau.” Does this mean that the imposed restrictions will be relaxed?

  So far, Russian politicians are not talking about easing the introduced measures, or about adopting new ones. On the eve of the holidays, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova urged to observe preventive measures, and the regions to monitor the implementation of the instructions. The subjects of the Russian Federation independently decide on certain anti-COVID measures.

  Anti-water measures in the regions

  The WHO December recommendations for citizens boil down to five: get a full course of vaccinations, wear masks, observe hygiene measures and maintain a sanitary distance, avoid crowded public events, receive information about the pandemic from trusted information sources and do not travel, if you are at risk.
  However, Russians are not only preparing to celebrate the New Year, but also making plans for the traditional New Year holidays: the days from December 31 to December 9January 2022 declared non-working. And many use these free days for travel.

  Due to difficulties with foreign travel due to covid restrictions, the most popular tourist destinations during the holidays, according to tour operators, will be St. Petersburg, Moscow and the Moscow Region, the Krasnodar Territory, Tatarstan, the Republic of Karelia, the Kaliningrad Region. For ten holidays, the Krasnodar Territory, according to the vice-governor of the region Alexander Ruppel, plans to receive 400 thousand tourists.

  So far, restrictive measures in the most touristic Russian regions are very different. For example, according to existing rules, in the Krasnodar Territory, when checking into a hotel, you must present a QR code received after a full course of vaccination, a negative PCR test, or a certificate from a sick person. Access to catering establishments is also possible only after the presentation of these documents. In addition, events with more than 500 people are prohibited in the region until January 18.

  In St. Petersburg in the middle of the month, it was decided to enter into a hotel from December 27, visit cafes, concerts, exhibitions, cinemas, as well as mass events for more than 40 people only by QR- code. Later, the timing of access to public catering places using a QR code was shifted to January 2.

  Moscow is one of the few large cities that has not yet imposed restrictions on visiting public places and staying in hotels. The QR code regime is valid only in cultural institutions – museums and theaters. The city authorities have introduced a home regimen for unvaccinated Muscovites over the age of 60.

  True, the WHO does not insist that uniform measures be taken everywhere, even within one country. “We understand that decisions are made not only for epidemiological indicators, but also for other reasons,” says Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO Technical Director. “We provide advice, we communicate what factors need to be taken into account, but it is up to countries to make the decisions they feel are right. ”

  Russia and distribution of omicron

  A new threat that could ruin Russians’ New Year holidays is the spread of the omicron variant, which the WHO has confirmed is more contagious than previous variants. As of December 21, there were 41 known cases of infection with this variant of the coronavirus in Russia. The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, said in mid-December that there was no consistent spread of omicron infections in Russia. But she did not rule out that such a scenario of the development of events is likely. It is also alarming that already fully vaccinated people become infected with the “omicron”, even those who have received a third, additional vaccination. However, according to available data, it is thanks to vaccination that such patients tolerate COVID-19.in mild form. In Russia, more than 73 million Russians have been vaccinated with the two components of the Sputnik V vaccine.

  “In the two years that have passed since the beginning of the pandemic, we have learned a lot, we understand this invisible virus that turns our lives into chaos, we are stronger than it, because we know what needs to be done To control him, we have the tools to “bring him to his knees” and save countless people, Maria Van Kerkhove is convinced. “But do we have the tenacity to really put in all the effort necessary to end the pandemic? I think yes”. Van Kerkhov urged people to think about how they can celebrate the holidays without endangering their own health and the health of others. “None of these solutions will be perfect,” the WHO representative admitted, “but it must be the right one for each specific situation.”

  A WHO Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge, in his holiday address, emphasized that in light of the emergence of the omicron, there are three key actions to keep in mind: vaccination, infection prevention and mobilization of health services. “Against the backdrop of the spread of the omicron, none of these measures can be redundant. They are as relevant as before, and we know how to act,” he stressed.

  Winter holidays in Hungary: Christmas in Budapest

  Christmas and New Year in Budapest: Christmas markets Budapest is one of the “winter” cities in Europe, which is undoubtedly beautiful in any season, but in winter it has a special charm. Perhaps this is largely due to the abundance of thermal springs and baths, which are so nice to warm up in winter weather. And besides this, Budapest pleases tourists with interesting Christmas markets, beautiful Christmas illuminations, delicious cuisine and a wonderful festive atmosphere. So, we are planning an unforgettable Christmas holidays and New Year in Budapest!

  Budapest Christmas markets

  Budapest’s Christmas markets do not have a very long history, but they already have their own established traditions. From year to year they become more beautiful and more crowded, but one thing remains the same – in Budapest they strive in every possible way to preserve genuine Hungarian folk art and traditions. Here in the festive markets – only high-quality handicrafts and crafts, delicious pastries and traditional Hungarian cuisine. Any Christmas market in Budapest, from the largest in the center to the smallest on the outskirts, is distinguished by an unusually cozy, soulful atmosphere. Skating rinks, mulled wine, holiday shopping, performances by folklore groups, Christmas carols, smiles and pleasant conversation – all this is guaranteed for you. So let’s go through the most popular places of the Christmas Budapest!

  Vörösmarty tér Christmas Market

  The most famous, crowded, oldest and beautiful fair in Budapest. It runs from early November to January 1st. The market on Vörösmarty Square is a delightful variety of festive sounds, seductive smells and colorful handmade gifts and souvenirs. Once here, it is as if you find yourself inside one of the old grandmother’s Christmas cards depicting festivities on the eve of Christmas. During the fair, the main square of the city turns into a square from a fairy tale with a buzzing crowd of merchants and buyers, elegant stalls, thousands of gifts for every taste and a rich assortment of snacks. If you walk around this market, be sure to try the famous kürtőskalács (kürtőskalács) – this is the name of the Hungarian twisted kalach. It is sold at any time of the year, but on the cold days of December it is especially pleasant to taste kalach cooked on coals, hot, piping hot. An indispensable attribute of any Hungarian fair is sausages, grilled vegetables, all kinds of street snacks, hot fragrant mulled wine, palinka (fruit brandy), the traditional Hungarian New Year’s drink krampampuli (krampampuli). Also, be sure to try and be sure to buy saloncukor sweets (szaloncukor) with you. Every self-respecting Hungarian considers it his duty to hang this chocolate-coated fudge on the Christmas tree.

  Tip: Don’t buy snacks at the fairs in the morning – this food is very likely to be yesterday’s food.

  The “façade” of the fair on Vörösmarty Square is also noteworthy – former 19th-century Art Nouveau trading offices and residential buildings are interspersed with newer buildings. Including one of the most famous coffee houses in Europe, the Gerbeaud cafe is located here. In other years, the Advent calendar was displayed on its facade, but now they arrange a laser show. Right from the square begins the most famous shopping street of the city – Vaci, which is also called Fashion street. At Christmas, it is especially beautiful thanks to the festive decorations, as well as discounts offered by local shops. This is also a kind of Christmas market, which is recommended for all guests of the city.

  Fair at the Basilica of St. Stephen (Stefan)

  The second largest and most popular fair in the capital of Hungary. Runs from the end of November until January 1st. About a hundred tents decorated with Christmas tinsel offer a rich assortment of wonderful handicrafts from local craftsmen, as well as traditional Hungarian delicacies. If you’re lucky, here (or at any other fair in Budapest), you will meet the local Santa Claus – St. Mikulas (as the Hungarians call St. Nicholas). Regularly in the evenings, music and dance concerts are held in front of the basilica, for example, by a folk dance ensemble. At the same time, all guests of the fair can participate in their show and join the Hungarian folk dance. For everyone, there is a skating rink near the cathedral (children under 14 ride on it for free). And, of course, by all means go to the cathedral itself, which is especially beautiful at Christmas. From time to time, organ concerts are held in it – it is better to check the time in advance on the website of the cathedral. And you can also climb to its observation deck and enjoy the panorama of the festive city. The bazaar near the Basilica will also leave an unforgettable impression thanks to the 3D light and music show, which is arranged here on the facade of the cathedral every half an hour after dark.

  Christmas market in Varosliget park

  The fair is open on weekends. The shopping arcade leads towards the Vajdahunyad castle. Handmade gifts, handicrafts, Hungarian cuisine – all this is in abundance here. And there is also a beautiful skating rink, which is being built on the site of the pond surrounding the Vajdahunyad castle.
  Obuda
  The old quarter of the city is a place where you can buy vintage items of amazing beauty at fairs. In addition, there are a lot of cultural events – everyone will find entertainment to their liking. It is also a place where you can join the history of the city.

  Gozsdu Udvar

  Shopping mini-district in the city center, an arcade that connects Kirali and Dob streets. Concentration of shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, eateries and bars with cuisine from around the world, a shopping paradise that at Christmas turns into a real Christmas fairy tale for all shopaholics and nightlife lovers.

  Ferenc Deak Square

  The fair on Ferenc Deak Square is very easy to find – it is only a few minutes from the main fair on Vörösmarty Square. In addition to buying souvenirs and jewelry, you can take children on rides here.

  Food, drinks and souvenirs

  At Christmas markets, the irresistible sweet aroma of baked goods called kürtöskalács is unmatched even by the smell of fried sausages and bacon. Shaped somewhat like a chimney, this “twisted kalács” is Hungarians’ favorite food at December Christmas markets and is best paired with body-warming and soul-warming mulled wine. Taste the best and most famous mulled wine at Divino, in front of the Christmas market at St. Stephen’s Basilica. Another must-try traditional drink is palinka, a fruit brandy that winemakers now make as a premium drink with a variety of fruits. In the tents of the Budapest Christmas markets, you can see a fantastic variety of handmade souvenirs. Only at the Christmas market on Vörösmarty Square you can buy handicrafts from professional designers. Leather accessories, sheepskin vests, knitted hats, gloves and shawls, as well as wooden toys and beautiful handmade Christmas decorations, people of all ages and tastes are sure to find something for themselves at the Christmas markets. Conversely, two design venues, WAMP and Gozsdu Udvar, host Christmas markets aimed at young fashion designers who showcase their products and collections of clothes, accessories and souvenirs of all kinds.

  What else to do in Budapest for the New Year

  During the New Year and Christmas holidays, it’s good to just walk along the beautiful streets, enjoying the festive fuss and charging with the atmosphere of general fun! If you get cold, take a look at the museums of Budapest to join the art or history. In the evenings you can go to interesting concerts. Taste Hungarian cuisine in the many cafes and restaurants in Budapest. By the way, if you plan to celebrate a holiday in a cafe or restaurant, do not forget to book a table as early as possible – closer to the holiday it will be difficult to find empty seats. And, of course, the famous baths of Budapest cannot be ignored! The most popular are Széchenyi (the most crowded), Gellert (with luxurious decoration). More calm and intimate are Lukacs, Rudash and Kiraly.

  If you want to come to Budapest early to explore the city and its surroundings, you can rent a car from GetRentacar.com and have an unforgettable winter adventure!

  Incomprehensible “smart holidays”

  Three-week holidays for juniors and distance learning for senior classes of general education schools have been introduced in Mari El since November 16th. Residents of the republic pay attention to the fact that in many families there is no one to leave primary school children with; they have to do tasks with them in the evenings.

  “Smart holidays-1”. What happened in the spring? This happened against the background of the development of the epidemiological situation associated with the spread of coronavirus infection.

  At that moment, the Minister of Education of Mari El Natalya Adamova commented on the nearest school prospects as follows:

  — The situation of transition to remote technologies in the republic is not new. It was worked out during the onset of abnormal cold weather and when the epidemiological threshold for influenza and SARS was exceeded. As a rule, during this period, the school reviews the methodological approaches and technologies for organizing the educational process, ensuring their implementation in full, without increasing the duration of the academic year. The difference this year is only in the scale of approbation of these technologies, when we get the opportunity to use the educational online platforms offered today at the federal level, such as the Russian Electronic School, Uchi.ru and Yandex.class throughout the republic, providing a full organization ” smart vacations for kids.

  At the end of April, when the Ministry of Education of Mari El announced the early end of the school year in the schools of the republic, the parental communities of the republic signaled to officials that distance learning, introduced after the spring break, did not justify itself.

  “Parents give all their free time to distance learning for children, teachers – both during working and non-working hours, are forced to be tied to digital media, because it is not always possible to visit this or that educational portal during peak hours,” — representatives of the public organization “Big Family” wrote in their appeal to the Minister of Education of Mari El. Social activists drew the attention of the official that all responsibility for the quality of the educational process now lies with them, and this despite the fact that families are at their main job.

  According to representatives of parent communities in Mari El, legal representatives should have the right to choose the form of education for their children.

  November Decree

  On November 12, the head of Mari El made changes to the decree on high alert, issued in March of this year. It described in most detail the algorithm for new vacations for schoolchildren in grades 1-4 and a three-week distance learning period for other students.

  The Minister of Education of Mari El commented on the innovations signed by Alexander Evstifeev. Natalya Adamova again called the November-December holidays for elementary grades “smart”. The minister also named the main reasons for the holidays for juniors and distance learning for grades 5-11. She said that children have a large number of contacts – in the classroom, at school, institutions of additional education, and teachers are at risk, both in terms of age and the number of contacts.

  It is not known in great detail about the situation in schools with the illness of teachers. The regional department of Rospotrebnadzor does not specifically single out the category of pedagogical workers in the statistics of the diseased. Over the entire period of the pandemic in Mari El, coronavirus was detected in 332 pupils and students in educational institutions of the republic. The director of one of the Yoshkar-Ola schools told an Idel.Realii correspondent that in his educational organization the peak of colds in general was probably in October, when 14 teachers fell ill, now two are sick.

  As in schools

  — I can say with confidence that we have created both technical and methodological conditions for teaching using distance learning methods, — says director of the Bauman Lyceum Grigory Peisakhovich . — We have been practicing distance learning since 2015. Students use iPads or other similar devices. There are also teachers.

  According to the director of one of the most advanced and prestigious schools in Mari El, the transition to distance learning for his educational organization is a good opportunity to test his readiness. In addition, this form of education does not contain any violations of the law. However, Peisakhovich admits that the level of readiness of schools to implement the decree of the head of Mari El can be completely different.

  Principal of the Yoshkar-Ola School No. 10 Alexey Nikitin says that “we follow all the regulatory documents, we try to fulfill the decree. He says that preparations for distance learning were carried out at his school: the Internet speed was increased, laptops were purchased for teachers. Parents have questions, they can contact the director with them – he gives everyone his mobile phone number.The educational process at the school during remote days looks like this: all teachers come to work and conduct online classes from classes. have been teaching online from the comfort of their own homes for years.”

  Reaction of parents

  “I am a law-abiding citizen, I have never arranged any special actions,” says Alexander Vodopyanov .

  On the day of the beginning of the new distance learning period, he and several other citizens went out with single protest pickets to the government building of Mari El.

  “Children are not studying, but tomorrow they are ready to go to school,” says Alexander. “I don’t care how they learn. Let me give you an example: before the spring remote school, my friends’ children were excellent students, and now they have become three students. They came to school in the fall and continue to repeat the material of the fourth quarter.

  The state presents distance learning as a necessary measure, and this can be tolerated and understood, says the students’ father. But at the same time, one must understand that the child spends the whole day behind the monitor. What happens to his vision, hearing, nervous system?

  Alexander and his fellow protesters were not detained by the police. But they quickly found him by phone, called:

  – They came to my house today, – he says, – they say that since they are responsible for this territory, they should write down explanations. I asked if I violated something, they said no, my picket does not fall under any article. Single pickets are not prohibited. I didn’t want to hold rallies. My responses were recorded for the record. I think that they found me through social networks, we openly published photos, it says everywhere who is who.

  The “Parents’ Committee of the Republic of Mari El” community publishes photos and videos with the hashtags #NoDistance, #ChildrenMustLearnInSchool, #HandsAwayFromChildren. The flash mob has become massive; parents take pictures with posters against distance learning in their hands at their workplaces, children at home, next to computers. At the same time, in the “Parents Committee” public page, you can see examples of absurd and unpleasant situations associated with the unexpected transfer of children to home schooling – parents, as a rule, are not remote. This is how the response of parents in the chat of one of the classes of the Yoshkar-Ola school to the news that from Monday – again online study at home looks like:

  “We have one laptop and two children. If the lessons go on at the same time, it will be a problem.”

  “We don’t have a computer, the laptop is old. Zoom is not supported. The phone is buggy, it turns itself off.”

  There are also problems with the organization of the online learning process itself. Here’s what they write in another chat:

  “Good morning! *** (student’s name) cannot submit a history assignment, already got one deuce, what’s next. Our children sit on their phones all day. Lessons are not on schedule. Each teacher should write to different sites. Wasn’t it possible to prepare, create one site?

  “We also sent a d/z on history. They wrote to us that the teacher’s working day is from 8.00 to 18.00. I was also very upset yesterday! She can check the d/z today, despite the fact that we sent yesterday “.

  Collection of signatures and a letter to Putin

  Activists of the parent community of Mari El are collecting signatures for an appeal addressed to the President of Russia. In a letter not in the name of Putin, in particular, they are perplexed why regional officials considered the interests of their children less significant, and did not ban the activities of catering enterprises, bowling clubs, discos under the pretext of the threat of the spread of coronavirus (only their night work is prohibited in Mari El).

  “Why should children be at home, and institutions that are not of high social importance should work with slight restrictions in their working hours? Based on what statistics in our Republic did children become the perpetrators of the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19?

  Adults can become infected with coronavirus COVID-19 infection anywhere: be it public transport, shops, cafes, work, etc. There is no official confirmed data that the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus infectionit is the children,” the authors of the appeal write.

  A volcano, black beaches and great canyons. And all this on one island? Our first holiday destination in 2018 should take us back to the Canary Islands. After Gran Canaria last April and Fuerteventura three years ago, Tenerife was our goal in January! Due to the winter in Germany we have been very excited about our vacation on Tenerife in January. We were curious about the island, which is said to be island of eternal spring. This time we went directly from Bremen to Tenerife with a low-cost airline. After almost 5 hours in a felt sardine box we were also happy when we could get off at Reina Sofía airport in the south of Tenerife. The welcome was very sunny and promised a great start to a wonderful vacation on Tenerife. If you are planning a vacation on Tenerife in January, you should consider whether you would like to stay in the south or north of the island. We have experienced both parts and will tell you about it.

  Highlights on Tenerife

  • Visit of the volcano Teide 
  • Hike through the Masca canyon
  • Sunbathing on the black beach of Puerto de la Cruz
  • Visit of a very large aquapark “Siam-Park” and the zoo “Loro-Parque”.

  Holidays in the north or south of Tenerife?

  Our hotel was in the north of the island in the city of Puerto de la Cruz. If you want to go on holiday in Tenerife in January, you should keep in mind that the north is the rainy part of the island. The main destinations of the island are located in the south in Los Cristianos or Las Americas. Unfortunately, the hotels in both areas have been raised rather ruthlessly, so that one sees quite a lot of very functional but ugly buildings.

  During a visit to Las Americas we were able to get our own impression. Finally, I was happy that our hotel was in Puerto de la Cruz. The north is also much greener than the south. Tenerife is “divided” by the volcano Teide, which with its 3718 metres is also the highest mountain in Spain. You can either go very sporty with a hike on a volcano or simply and comfortably take the cable car.  More about this later and back to the actual question.

  Gaby would prefer the south with a future visit because of the better weather. I’d go back up north again. In any case, however, we would take a rental car directly at the airport for another holiday and we would do without the transfer. Why? We sat in the bus for about 2.5 – 3 hours until all guests were distributed and collected on the way back. I’m sure it depends on the hotel, but it’s already taken a lot of nerves. On Google Maps we saw in Puerto de la Cruz how we were driven around the hotel in big loops….

  If you drive by car, you will be in the north in less than an hour from the south, regardless of whether you drive on the motorway in the east or on the mountain road in the west. Tenerife is not a very big island: in less than 2.5 hours you have driven once around the whole island. All roads are in very good condition.

  If you like to swim in the sea, please note that when you go on holiday in Tenerife in January, the surf is usually too strong to swim in the north. In the south, on the other hand, the sea is also so calm in January that you can go swimming. Point for the south!

   

  Tenerife – Transport and Traffic

  We have experienced Tenerife with the rental car as a very compact island. The price for a rental car for one week (Polo, 2nd driver) was acceptable at € 125 and of course gave us the flexibility we might not have gotten with a bus. Refueling is with 0.91 € / litre for E10 pleasingly favorable. We’d like to have drained ourselves of a few liters for home.

  If you don’t want to use the car, you can also take the buses from titsa (the public bus company) to get to the island easily and cheaply. We have met many pensioners who have been raving about the good connections. Most of them had a so-called bonus card, similar to a prepaid card, with which they could travel at even better rates. Even the Teide seems to have good connections.

  In the villages themselves you can also take a cheap taxi. Especially in Puerto de la Cruz we used it several times and drove from the centre to our hotel (just under 1.5 km uphill) for just 3. 50 €.

  What to do on your vacation on Tenerife in January?

  Even in winter you can do a lot of things on Tenerife. The weather is very mild and ideal for almost any kind of activity. Most things you can decide spontaneously for yourself. Many of the tours offered by the hotel’s tour operators were later considered more amused than money-cutting. In the ten days we have made a lot of great excursions, which we also recommend to you.

   

  Teide – Spain’s highest mountain and an absolute must for a vaacation on Tenerife

  As the world’s third largest island volcano (just under 7500 metres from the seabed) the Teide is already the defining landmark of the island. In good weather you can actually see the peak of Teide from almost every free place in Tenerife. Through many reports of other tourists we were full of energy to go to the Teide. For us it was one of the highlights on the island. The last eruption of the volcano occurred in November 1908.

  If you want to go / drive on the Teide, you should consider in good time whether you want to go all the way to the summit. If you are planning to do this (which we recommend), then you must obtain a permit from the national park administration in good time (link to the webpage of the national park). Don’t panic; approval is fortunately free of charge. Just a limited number of tourists are allowed to reach the top of the mountain every day. We took this option too late and missed the last 160 meters to the summit due to the lack of permission. A good reason to come back to Tenerife!

  Thin air and great views on the Teide

  The view from the top station of the cable car is also impressive and literally breathtaking. The air at an altitude of 3555 meters is already relatively thin and an experience in itself. At the top you have one hour time to breathe the thin air and take great photos. You will probably need to acclimatize a little bit after leaving the cable car. We also needed a moment to get used to the air. It’s not the North German Plain you walk through! In any case, we had good luck with the weather and were able to see a great volcanic landscape and Tenerife in general with a clear view towards the south and lots of sunshine.

   

  The mountain is calling.

  Have a good look at a weather forecast before visiting Teide. There is always the risk that in case of bad weather, the cable car will be stopped and you will drive to the mountain for nothing. During our visit we had about 20 degrees Celsius at the hotel and on top of the mountain it was only 6 degrees Celsius. You should definitely wear suitable clothes. It may also be possible that roads are completely closed due to the weather.

  What we also recommend to you is the online reservation or purchase of the cable car ticket in advance. Due to our spontaneous visit in the late morning we could only get tickets (per person up and down 27 € total) for the trip in the late afternoon. As one of the main attractions, many tourists visit Teide. The cable car runs from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm (departure). Click here to visit the website of the Teide cable car. The parking space situation at the valley station is limited. Early arrival secures a place.

  Waiting times for the cable car can also be easily used  with a hike in the volcanic area of Teide, as we have done. From the Parador station, there are a wide variety of different and varyingly demanding and long tours through the spectacular volcanic landscape of the Teide. You can get an overview of the different tours here: Hiking map of the Teide National Park

  Plan a whole day for your visit to Teide. We were glad that we didn’t take a guided tour and recommend you to organize the visit yourself. During our next visit we will surely visit Teide in the evening hours to see the night sky of Tenerife.

  By the way, after your visit you can put a check mark on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites you have visited. The Teide National Park has been one of them since 2007!

  Hike through the Masca Canyon

  Another great activity on Tenerife is the walk through the Masca canyon. This hike on Tenerife is certainly one of the most spectacular walks on the Canary Islands. We did the tour on our last days in Tenerife and had a great day.

  On the way you walk a distance of just under five kilometres and over 600 metres in altitude through a very impressive canyon. On the way, the rock faces are up to 600 metres high and the canyon is less than 30 metres wide at the narrowest points. As a special challenge you have to climb a bit in some places (not much). You will be shown 54 landmarks to the sea. The typical option starts in the village of Masca and leads you along the path to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can take a boat trip to the village of Los Gigantes or take the direct way back. You can buy a boat ticket in the village or directly by the sea (January 2018 € 10, – / person). From Los Gigantes taxis will take you back to Masca for about 26-28 €.

  Before the hike we recommend you to have a cup of coffee before the hike. In the restaurant behind the entrance you can also buy your boat tickets and can get tips about the hike. Be sure to be there early. Masca is an incredibly small village with very few parking spaces. We were there at 9:00 a. m. and we still had the free choice of parking space. If you arrive later or don’t want to drive to Santiago del Teide on some of the narrow serpentines, you better park your car in Santiago del Teide and drive to the village for relatively little money.

  It depends on the equipment.

  The hike itself is classified as difficult to very difficult on various websites. We then approached the matter with due respect. It is not a “Sunday walk”, but it is also not infinitely difficult. In any case, you must be sure-footed and (somehow) athletic. On some passages the path is narrow and on others you have to climb a little bit. You should definitely wear the right shoes. High heels and flip-flops are the worst possible choice. Have a look at the weather forecast here.

  You can organize the tour through the canyon without any worries for yourself, even if there are providers at every corner for this tour. In principle, the canyon itself dictates the path. If you start in time enough, you will have the canyon or the path almost to yourself. On our way to the sea we hardly met more than 20 other hikers. In addition to the rush hour, the situation should look completely different according to the reports of other holidaymakers, which surely clouds the joy.

  In any case, take enough water and if necessary some food for the way. We arrived with a relaxed walk (and many photo stops) after about 3 hours (and two liters of water and three bananas) happy and satisfied at the sea. The onion tactics in the choice of clothing certainly helped us. At the beginning we started off with a light drizzle and a rain jacket. At the end of the day it was as warm and sunny as you would imagine a nice day on holiday. If the weather is fine and you have your swimsuit with you, you can jump into the Atlantic Ocean from the jetty. In addition to the many great impressions, you may also take a nice sore muscle as a souvenir from the hike, which will remind you of your experiences the next day.

  Waterparks – also ideal for a holiday on Tenerife in January

  There are two larger theme parks on Tenerife for all water rats and water slide junkies. We visited the Siam Park, the world’s best rated water park according to TripAdvisor. If you are planning your holiday on Tenerife in January, it is certainly a good time for the Aquapark. If possible, visit the park on a Saturday (“bed change day”) and you will hardly have any waiting time at the many great slides. Read more in our separate report about the Siam Park. It was definitely a great visit!

  Zoos in Tenerife

  You can visit two zoos in Tenerife. During our holiday in Tenerife in January we visited the Loro-Parque, which is advertised all over the island. You have to decide for yourself how you like zoos and especially animal shows in zoos. We visited the Loro-Parque to get our own impression. The park is very spacious. There are shows with orcas, dolphins, sea lions and a bird show that are repeated several times a day. If you visit the park, we recommend you to be there early. If you go the regular way, it will soon fill up. We recommend that you turn left immediately after the entrance and go against the main stream. If you walk in a clockwise direction, you will experience the park relatively “alone” during an early visit. More about our visit to Loro-Parque in the following article.

   

  Santa Cruz

  Tenerife’s capital and hub of the island. We visited Santa Cruz twice. You can go shopping downtown. We recommend that you park your car at the “Nuestra Señora de Africa” market in the multi-storey car park and then go directly to the “Nuestra Señora de Africa” market hall. During your visit you should definitely visit the lower part of the market with the fish market. From the market it’s only a five minute walk to the pedestrian zone, where you can shop until your credit card (or wallet) glows. If you are interested in architecture, then the Auditorio de Tenerife is definitely a good destination for you.

  Shopping in Tenerife

  You’re Shopaholic? Tenerife has a large number of shopping centres. In the south you can shop directly in Las Americas and Siam Mall. If you are like us in the north, then the shopping mall La Villa is a great alternative to the bingo evening in the hotel. The shopping centre is open until 1.30 am (shops until 10 pm).

  Puerto de la Cruz

  The tourist centre in the north is the town of Puerto de la Cruz, built on the slopes of the Atlantic Ocean. Our hotel was near the Park Parque de La Sortija. In Puerto Cruz we recommend a walk through the old town.  As a special highlight in the old town of Puerto de la Cruz there are 13 large streetart murals! Here you will find an overview of all 13 murals, which you can view on a detailed tour through the city centre. Link to the flyer of Puerto Streetart

  Beaches in and around Puerto de la Cruz

  If you are more of a beach fan, then you should definitely visit the city beach Playa Jardin. The beach has black sand, which you won’t find everywhere. In January on Tenerife it is still only quite crowded, so you should not have any problems finding a beach chair. By the way, the beach chair costs you only 3 €/day, which is a bargain compared to many other holiday destinations.

  As an alternative to the city beach we recommend the natural beach Playa de Bollullo, which is just outside of Puerto de la Cruz and is one of the most beautiful natural beaches in the north of Tenerife. The beach is also popular with locals, so it is better to plan your visit during the week. Above the beach there are very few parking spaces.

   

   

  As with Playa Jardin, you should take the flagging on the beaches seriously. The currents at the beaches should not be underestimated.

  By the way, you can swim more quietly in the seawater in the waterscape Lago Martianez. This pool landscape was designed by the artist and architect César Manrique and shapes the promenade of Puerto de la Cruz. Admission is relatively cheap with 5,50 €.

  What else we can recommend for your vacation on Tenerife in January.

  For a visit to the north of the island, we recommend a visit to the Sunset290 Bar near Puerto de la Cruz. From the bar you can enjoy a delicious cocktail in your hand over the bay of Puerto de la Cruz and watch the sunset on the coastline.

  Speaking of sunset – here we recommend the pass and viewpoint Mirador De Cherfe on the way to Masca canyon, which is one of the highest and most westerly points of the island. The sunset is great to watch from up there. We would be happy to give you the recommendation of a taxi driver who has pointed out to us that it is better to lock the rental car even with short photo stops.

  Wonderful sunset from the Mirador de Cherfe on Tenerife

  It is also interesting to note that there is a relatively short period of twilight after sunset. After less than 20 minutes it is already very dark. You will surely notice this during your holiday on Tenerife.

  January is otherwise an ideal time for a vacation on Tenerife. There aren’t that many tourists on the island yet. With little effort you can plan your holiday on Tenerife so individually that you can enjoy your holiday to the fullest. Although the island is relatively small, it offers many possibilities for a great vacation. Our original plan with a day trip to Gomera was quickly rejected by our first vacation on Tenerife. We will certainly return to Tenerife at some point. We liked it very much!

  If you want to read more about the Canary Islands, we recommend our report about Gran Canaria, which you can also experience outside of mass tourism. If you prefer safe swimming conditions, we recommend a holiday in Sardinia south west or Sardinias north or Sicily.

  Update March 2020: we visited also Lanzarote, which is the Canarian island with a complete and most absctract vulcanic landscape. Just follow this link.

  Have you ever been to Tenerife in January or at another time of the year? What were your experiences?

  The following travel guides have also done a good job offline. We also recommend you to think about a USB adapter, which helped us very well in our hotel (with only one single socket in the room!).

  TD 9 forecast calls for major hurricane for Florida; Fiona aims colossal blow at Canada » Yale Climate Connections

  Eight days after leaving the coast of Africa, the tropical wave designated 98L finally developed, becoming Tropical Depression Nine (TD 9) in the southeastern Caribbean at 5 a.m. EDT Friday. While TD 9 was experiencing hostile wind shear that was limiting it on Friday afternoon, it is expected to rapidly intensify into a hurricane this weekend, and will affect Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Florida over the next five days.

  A storm brews in the tropics.

  Satellite imagery and Curacao radar on Friday afternoon showed TD 9 bringing heavy rain showers to the ABC Islands and to the north coast of South America, but struggling with high wind shear: The low-level center was exposed to view, and the system’s relatively scanty heavy thunderstorms were confined to the southwest side of the center. The reason: Outflow from powerful Hurricane Fiona was bringing strong northeasterly winds over TD 9, creating about 20-25 knots of wind shear. Otherwise, conditions were favorable for development, with warm sea surface temperatures of 29-30 degrees Celsius (84-86°F) and a moist atmosphere (a mid-level relative humidity of 70%). At 11 a.m. EDT Friday, TD 9 was 515 miles east-southeast of Jamaica, with top winds of 35 mph, headed west-northwest at 14 mph.

  Intensity forecast for TD 9

  Continued high wind shear from Fiona’s upper-level outflow is expected to impede development of TD 9 through Saturday morning, and its close proximity to the coast of South America may also hinder it. Odds for development will rise by Saturday afternoon, when Fiona will be approaching Canada, allowing wind shear over TD 9 to drop to the moderate range, 10-20 knots. Highly favorable conditions for development are expected by Saturday night, when TD 9 will be in the central Caribbean: There, it will find very warm water of 30-31 degrees Celsius (86-88°F) with a high heat content, light wind shear, excellent outflow channels aloft, and a moist atmosphere (a mid-level relative humidity of 70%). The entire northern half of the Caribbean has been free of tropical cyclones all season, so these untouched waters (running about 0. 5 degrees Celsius or 0.9 degree Fahrenheit above average for late September) will be particularly ripe for supporting any well-organized cyclone with favorable atmospheric conditions.

  The two intensity forecasts from the National Hurricane Center so far have been unusually aggressive. The initial 5 a.m. EDT Friday forecast predicted that TD 9 would reach 110 mph winds by the end of the five-day forecast period. That forecast is only the third time NHC has made such an aggressive forecast in the first advisory for a new system. The other two cases were also for western Caribbean systems: Hurricane Ida in 2021 and Hurricane Iota in 2020. Both of those hurricanes ended up rapidly intensifying to category 4 storms, exceeding the initial intensity forecast from NHC.

  Figure 2. Intensity forecasts for TD 9 available as of 8 a.m. EDT Friday, September 23, 2022. The top intensity model for making 4- and 5-day forecasts for Hurricane Fiona, the HWRF model (called HWFI in this plot), was predicting that TD 9 would reach category 4 strength in six days, as was the top intensity model from 2021, the HMON (called HMNI in this plot). (Image credit: tropicaltidbits.com)

  The 11 a.m. EDT Friday NHC forecast for TD 9 was also very aggressive, explicitly predicting rapid intensification. Beginning on Sunday morning, when TD 9 will be south of Jamaica, NHC predicted TD 9 to go from a tropical storm with 50 mph winds to a category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds in 24 hours. This meets the minimum definition of rapid intensification, which is a 35 mph increase in winds in 24 hours.

  Continued intensification is predicted on Monday, when TD 9 will be passing through the Cayman Islands and approaching western Cuba. Crossing Cuba is likely to interrupt the intensification process, and if TD 9 passes over one of the more mountainous portions of the island (Figure 1), it is possible that the storm will take a day or more to recover and resume intensifying. In addition, TD 9 may be hampered at that time by an increase in wind shear, as an upper-level low to the west of Cuba brings a southerly flow of upper-level winds over the storm.

  NHC currently has TD 9 topping out as a category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds on Wednesday morning near the coast of southwestern Florida, but this forecast should be regarded as highly uncertain. TD 9 could plausibly be as weak as a category 1 hurricane, or as strong as a category 4, when it makes its closest approach to Florida next week (see Tweet below).

  Using NHC’s average intensity errors over the past five years, and Friday’s 11am EDT advisory for #TD9, this is what a cone of uncertainty for intensity might look like. pic.twitter.com/GPeHrOoHhW

  — Brian McNoldy (@BMcNoldy) September 23, 2022

  It would not be a surprise if TD 9 rapidly intensified at a greater rate than NHC is predicting: The western Caribbean is a notorious breeding ground for major hurricanes, and the top intensity model for making 4- and 5-day forecasts for Hurricane Fiona, the HWRF model, was predicting that TD 9 would reach category 4 strength in six days, as was the top intensity model from 2021, the HMON (Figure 2).

  Winds of tropical storm force could arrive in southern FL by Tue am, so hurricane watch could go up by Sun am. Similar chances of hurricane force winds at Tampa and Miami, so don’t let anyone tell you one part of the peninsula should prepare more than another at this point. pic.twitter.com/DoHq3erJEp

  Track forecast for TD 9

  The spread in model track solutions for TD 9 continues to be large, with impacts to Central America, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Florida, and the Bahamas all in play. As of Friday early afternoon, it appears that Central America is at relatively low risk of a direct hit, though heavy rains from the storm may affect coastal Honduras beginning on Sunday. Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is not in the NHC cone, but some of the members of the 12Z Friday GFS ensemble forecast showed TD 9 passing very close to the northeastern tip of the peninsula, so residents there need to pay attention to future forecasts.

  The eventual track of TD 9 will depend heavily on what happens during the coming 24 hours, when the storm will be weak and subject to considerable shifts in position. These can occur because of relatively subtle changes in the steering flow, and from center reformations when wind shear rips into the core of TD 9. By Saturday, when TD 9 should have a stronger circulation and be a tropical storm, we will have a much better idea where it is going. It appears highly likely that Jamaica will miss a direct hit, but the island will still receive damaging rains of 4 – 8 inches. The Cayman Islands could receive a direct hit, and Cuba is highly likely to receive a direct hit, possibly by a major hurricane. The threat to Florida is more murky, with most of the peninsula south of the Panhandle in the NHC 5-day cone of uncertainty. Residents of the western Bahamas should also be paying attention, since they are also in the 5-day cone of uncertainty. In all these areas, preparations for the arrival of the storm should be given high priority.

  Hurricane Fiona to thrash Atlantic Canada

  One of the strongest storms in Canadian history is expected late Friday into Saturday, as category 4 Hurricane Fiona quickly transforms into a massive and powerful post-tropical cyclone just hours before landfall. Rare hurricane and tropical storm warnings have been issued by Environment Canada across a span of roughly 800 miles, from eastern New Brunswick and far southeast Quebec to Nova Scotia and most of Newfoundland and Labrador.

  “This will be a significant and historical weather event for Nova Scotia,” says John Lohr, the provincial minister responsible for the Emergency Management Office, part of the multi-agency briefing happening now. pic.twitter.com/C5KARZqVn5

  — Brett Ruskin (@Brett_CBC) September 22, 2022

  As of 11 a.m. EDT Friday, Hurricane Fiona was charging northeast at 35 mph with top sustained winds of 130 mph, about 250 miles north of Bermuda, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Despite that considerable distance, Fiona’s sprawling circulation brought sustained winds of 64 mph to L.F. Wade International Airport in Hamilton just after 8 a.m. ADT, with a gust to 93 mph around 7 a.m. Intense rain squalls had mostly departed Bermuda by late Friday morning. Fiona was generating large swells that were creating dangerous rip currents along much of the coast of the U.S. and Canadian Maritimes.

  Fiona’s wind field will expand even more before the storm reaches Canada. As Fiona accelerates northward over unusually warm midlatitude waters, it is expected to remain a potent hurricane into Friday evening, perhaps maintaining category 3 strength. An approaching cold front and upper-level storm will then trigger a phenomenon recently classified as an instant warm seclusion. Much like Hurricane Sandy’s transition to “superstorm” just before it struck New Jersey in October 2012, the approaching midlatitude storm will envelop Fiona and quickly become a vast post-tropical storm system, but with the hurricane’s warm core still tucked within (secluded). As with Sandy, the impacts of Fiona will be essentially those of a hurricane, even if the formal classification changes in the hours before landfall, which is why Environment Canada has gone with hurricane warnings.

  Hurricane Fiona will undergo a meteorologically spectacular and rapid transition from a hurricane to a hybrid superstorm this afternoon, resembling a powerful nor’easter with a hurricane-like core. Please see https://t.co/c6Fb7MylK2 for expected impacts. pic.twitter.com/B6wG1JLQ0y

  — Brian Tang (@btangyWx) September 23, 2022

  As Fiona evolves Friday night, its central pressure may dip to astounding levels. Multiple models are predicting Fiona to reach Nova Scotia on Saturday morning with a central pressure around or below 930 mb, which would easily break the all-time record in Canada for sea-level pressure of 940.2 mb set at St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, on January 20, 1977.

  The lowest pressure ever recorded in Nova Scotia is 951 mb (and for all of Canada is 940 mb). EVERY reliable model is well below those when #Fiona comes ashore. It’s likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime type of storm. pic.twitter.com/SnW7b3w4Qy

  — Craig Ceecee (@CC_StormWatch) September 22, 2022

  A pressure below 930 mb is more on par with what one might expect in a small but intense category 4 hurricane. However, in this case of Fiona, the pressure differential across the storm – which drives the surface winds – will be dispersed over a much broader region, so winds of tropical-storm and even hurricane strength will cover a vast area.

  In addition, a streak within the jet stream called a sting jet may also whip around the storm’s southeast side and descend to the surface, pushing even stronger upper-level winds to the ground in focused but damaging pockets.

  Monitoring the intricacies of the seemingly inevitable sting jet development (as #Fiona transitions to an extratropical cyclone over Nova Scotia) will be an important part of the mesoscale forecast for potentially significant wind gusts with this system. pic.twitter.com/5HgcJY0Rvc

  Landfall and impacts

  As of 11 a.m. Friday, NHC was predicting Fiona will reach the coast of eastern Nova Scotia on Saturday morning as a post-tropical cyclone packing top sustained winds just east of its center of 100 mph. Much more concerning is the predicted west-to-east breadth of hurricane-force sustained winds of at least 74 mph (around 170 miles) and tropical-storm-force sustained winds of at least 39 mph (around 680 miles). These values suggest an exceptionally large storm by both tropical and extratropical standards, not far below what Hurricane Sandy of 2012 brought (see Tweet below).

  #Fiona’s windfield is expanding. The storm will strike Atlantic Canada as a monster extratropical cyclone. Landfall peak wind radii comparison with Sandy:

  Sandy
  39+ mph: 485 miles
  58+ mph: 230 mi
  74+ mph: 170 mi

  58+ mph: 205 mi
  74+ mph: 115 mi pic.twitter.com/kQWoO2nzZe

  Widespread rains of 3 to 6 inches (75-150 millimeters) are expected over Atlantic Canada, with a corridor of even heavier rain likely along the track of Fiona’s core. The storm will be slowing down near the time of landfall, which will intensify the rain and wind impacts. “Some districts have received large quantities of rain recently, and excessive runoff may exacerbate the flooding potential,” Environment Canada noted. Huge waves can also be expected over a broad stretch of coastline, perhaps topping 39 feet (12 meters) in eastern parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A significant storm surge is likely near and just east of the landfall point, especially if landfall coincides with the Saturday-morning high tide. The complex geography of Atlantic Canada, together with Fiona’s size, means that a variety of coastlines may also be affected by surge apart from the immediate landfall location.

  Keep in mind with #Fiona as it approaches eastern Canada: it’s cruising along quickly now, but will be slowing down. Latest NHC forecast has it moving ~15 knots near Nova Scotia, which would be in the slowest 10% of storms in that area. Implications for rainfall and flooding. pic.twitter.com/9JioLlQee2

  Hurricane Juan, the costliest in Canadian history, made landfall near Halifax, Nova Scotia, at category 2 strength in 2003 with 100-mph sustained winds, wreaking some $200 million (USD 2003) in damage. Fiona is expected to strike a less populated area, with central winds that could be slightly less intense than Juan’s, but it is a much larger storm than Juan. Thus, there is some risk of structural damage wherever Fiona’s winds and gusts are strongest, but many more Canadians are likely to be affected by downed trees and power outages, perhaps on an unprecedented scale for this region.

  Some important context: Fiona is passing over unusually warm North Atlantic waters where a marine heat wave has been under way. Part of this historic event will be the coincidence of an upper-level low coming in at precisely the right time to merge with Fiona, but Fiona’s base strength as a hurricane so far north is directly related to its unusual supply of oceanic fuel – something that’s becoming more likely on our human-warmed planet.

  The latest advisories from Environment Canada on Fiona can be found at the agency’s website. Nova Scotia has an excellent high-density observation network.

  We will be activating our Emergency Operations Centre Friday at 8 a. m. ahead of Hurricane Fiona. Our crews will be in place and ready to safely respond to the storm. #NSStorm

  #Fiona is still on track to make a historic landfall in eastern #NovaScotia early Saturday morning; forecast to be the strongest storm to ever hit the area, so communicating the severity is a challenge.

  Tropical Storm Gaston nears the Azores in central Atlantic

  Tropical Storm Gaston was bringing gusty winds and heavy rains on Friday to the Azores Islands, where 2 – 6 inches of rain are expected from the storm. As of 2 p.m. EDT Friday, Gaston had top winds of 65 mph, and was headed southeast at 9 mph toward the central Azores. Given an array of less-than-ideal conditions, Gaston will probably weaken, as it enters a region with higher wind shear and colder waters. Gaston is expected to become post-tropical by Saturday night.

  Unusual tropical depression forms in far eastern Atlantic

  A tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on Friday became Tropical Depression Ten (TD 10) at 11 a.m. EDT Friday. The depression is expected to move on a somewhat unusual northerly track just off the African coast between the Cabo Verde Islands and Canary Islands.

  Tucked in an area with light wind shear of only around 10 knots into Friday night, TD 10 will benefit from a moist mid-level atmosphere (relative humidity of 70 percent) and warm SSTs of around 27 degrees Celsius (81°F). NHC predicts TD 10 to become a minimal tropical storm by Saturday morning, before quickly increasing wind shear, cooler ocean temperatures, and drier air destroy the system by Sunday. As a post-tropical cyclone, TD 10 will likely reach the western Canary Islands by Sunday or Monday, perhaps bringing rains of 2 – 4 inches of rain. It’s possible that TD 10 will become the northernmost tropical cyclone on record in the far eastern Atlantic just before its post-tropical conversion.

  One other wave to watch: 99L

  A tropical wave in the central Atlantic, several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, was designated Invest 99L by NHC. The wave is in a dry environment (mid-level relative humidity of 50%), but sea surface temperatures are warm and wind shear is moderate, which could allow some slow development. Satellite imagery showed that 99L had developed a broad surface circulation, but had a very limited amount of heavy thunderstorm activity. The wave has only limited model support for development as it wanders mostly northwest at less than 5 mph, far from any land areas. In its 8 a.m. EDT Friday Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 99L 2-day and 5-day development odds of 20% and 30%, respectively.

  The next two names on the Atlantic list of storms are Hermine and Ian. It appears quite likely that TD 9 and TD 10 will take these names, but which one gets which name was still an open question as of midday Friday.
