The best nightlife in Tenerife

If there’s one thing the Tenerifians know how to do well, it’s party. Enjoying life is a genetic disposition, evident if you venture into one of the many bars and nightclubs frequented by locals – and there are many. Check out the vibrant student scene in La Laguna, test your stamina in the bop-till-breakfast clubs of the southern resorts, or limber up for Latin pop and hip-swaying salsa in the Spanish nightclubs of both north and south. Every year brings a new music festival, and this year is no exception, with top-shelf DJs flying in to turn the heat up at open-air club nights.

Playa de las Americas

Papagayo

The Veronicas nightlife strip in Playa de las Americas might seem to some as a place preserved for teenage hedonists only, but there is one neon light that shines bright for those seeking something a little more mature. Papagayo is part Mediterranean restaurant, part beach club, but mostly disco, with two floors overlooking an open-air dancefloor and thatched cabanas offering ocean views with your margaritas. If there’s one club guaranteed to be packed at the weekends, Papagayo is it, but unless you want the dancefloor to just you and your handbag, don’t even think about going until after 1am.

Magic Lounge Club

Centre-stage along the Golden Mile, Magic Lounge Club sustains its status as the top see-and-be-seen bar of downtown Playa de las Americas through a smart, evening dress code, an in-house mixologist, a VIP area, and drink prices that encourage slow-sipping. The café side of things opens in the daytime and provides spectator seating across from the upscale Safari shopping centre. On the other side of the road there are several restaurants under the same ownership. Keep your meal receipt, take it to the bar, and you’ll get 50 per cent off any drink of your choice.

Harry’s Bar

Grab a mojito and a grandstand terrace seat overlooking the ‘dancing’ fountains in Safari shopping centre. There’s nowhere better to take the weight off after an evening retail excursion. All major sports are shown, though this really is more of a bar for people-watching than televised ball-chasing. The fountain show kicks off at around 9pm every night, by which time all of the good seats are taken, so book a table for 9.30pm at one of the many restaurants nearby, then grab a terrace seat at Harry’s for an aperitif around 8pm.

Casablanca

If Latin lights your candle, head to this lively bar in the oceanfront San Telmo restaurants and bar strip of Los Cristianos. Free salsa classes are held from 10pm throughout the week, before the dancefloor fills with lively locals freestyling to mainly Spanish hits. Ask for the Casablanca cocktail, a fruity ensemble of vodka, passion fruit, strawberry and lemon. There’s usually a 10-euro entrance fee on Saturdays (one drink included), but for free entry, just make sure you’re through the door before midnight.

Marinha Beach Club

Another rooftop dance club with ocean views, Marinha Beach Club is the newest kid on the block in the south and the place to go if you prefer your beats Spanish and the crowd local. The two floors – one inside, one outside – are topped with a faux lighthouse that glows pink and throws lasers onto the rooftop dance floor and neighbouring harbour. As with most local nightclubs, the action doesn’t start until well into the wee hours, however, if you want to chill before the party proper starts, phone ahead and book a private cabana.

Coqueluche Beach Bar

What says ‘on holiday’ more than drinking a frozen strawberry daquiri at a thatched beach bar watching a band playing chilled covers while the sun sinks slowly beyond the horizon? That’s exactly what you get at Coqueluche, possibly the most chilled bar in Tenerife, possibly the planet. Bands play on the beach every evening from 5pm until 7.30pm. Naturally, this is the busiest time, especially on Sundays, so you might want to grab yourself a table beforehand and order a plate of sustenance; the blue cheese and walnut salad is particularly good.

Acanto Cocktail Lounge

Sometimes you want a beach bar that offers more than straw shade, and cocktails in jam jars. Such is Acanto, a classy cocktail lounge with an ocean-facing terrace next to Playa del Duque beach. If the ocean breeze gets too much, move into the two-storey, church-like interior where pianists and opera singers often perform to holidaymakers, residents and the occasional visiting celebrities. The sangria is highly recommended and may whet the appetite enough for paella or another evening bite on their separate dining terrace.

10 Nightlife in Playa de las Americas That You Shouldn’t Miss

November 6, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Playa de las Americas, near Tenerife’s southwestern tip, is a lively, upbeat resort built in the 1960s. Today it’s crammed with British restaurants, bars and hotels and North European tourists. Its white sands attract hordes of sun worshippers, while nearby El Medano is famed for its windsurfing. Top attractions include sailing, golf and dinner theater shows, but it’s the nightlife on Veronica’s Strip that is the top draw for the crowds of young tourists who flock here to party around the clock.

The act comes on at 10pm and 11pm every night and range from soul singers to comedians. Drag Queens to Jersey Boys. We try to accommodate everyone with a good mixture of acts and if the act uses bad language people are warned several times especially parents. We offer cocktails 2 for 1 5pm to10pm.

We got a 50% off voucher for Magic bar, after dining in the Imperial Thai Pan restaurant, so decided to head over to Magic for a few cocktails. I’m glad we did as the strawberry daiquiris were absolutely amazing!! We did go relatively early so the bar was very quiet but we had a seat outside and just people watched. Would definitely come back here if we are in Tenerife again.

Party hotspots in Tenerife where the fun never ends

You’re in Tenerife with your friends, family or partner, and you all want to head out and explore the island’s lively, fun nightlife. That’s understandable if you take into account that Tenerife has been called the island of the eternal spring thanks to the pleasant temperatures of its subtropical climate. And there’s nothing that makes you want to party more than a Caribbean atmosphere just a stone’s throw from Europe.

The most important thing is to be clear on where you need to go in Tenerife to enjoy a night out. If you imagine a map marking all the nightlife hotspots on the island, then you’ll soon realise that there are two epicentres. On the one hand is the south-western coast of Tenerife—between the municipalities of Adeje and Arona—which is where the largest quantity of bars, clubs, pub, lounges and on-street terraces can be found. This is a favourite amongst tourists.

On the other hand, there are three large hotspots around the characteristic ‘horn’ of land in the northeast of the island: Santa Cruz de Tenerife—the capital—and the municipalities of La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz, which are not to be outdone when it comes to nightlife.

Party hotspots in southern Tenerife
Costa Adeje: In recent years, the coast of the municipality of Adeje—known as Costa Adeje—has done a lot to develop what it has to offer in terms of hospitality, creating a multitude of bars, restaurants, hotels, and leisure options. Along the seaside promenade that separates the Torviscas Beach from the Puerto Colón Sailing Club, are clustered countless beach bars and cocktail bars, perfect for a chilled start to the evening. Le Club Beach Club and Otelo2 are just two suggestions.

But if you’re looking for a dance floor in Costa Adeje, you’ll have to head away from the water. On the Avenida Francisco Ucelay Sabina, for example, is the Achamán Discopub, a famous club on the Tenerife nightlife scene, where you’ll always hear Latin beats.

Playa de las Américas: The coastal area of Arona, situated to the south of Costa Adeje, has become especially famous for two reasons: it’s the gateway to the island of La Gomera and it is also home to the island’s main tourism hubs. One of these hotspots is known as Playa de las Américas. Away from the shoreline you’ll find parties that last for twenty-four hours a day, with neon lights shining and music pumping.

The Las Verónicas strip, a string of shopping centres located along the Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina, hosts up to 50 establishments, including nightclubs and pubs. On its northern corner, the Papagayo Beach Club is a chill out club with white walls and a classic structure. It welcomes the hottest DJs every weekend. What’s more, during the day it has a restaurant with a terrace with priceless views of the sunset over El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera.

Just a few metres away, Tramps Tenerife claims to be the king of clubs. Inside the Starco shopping centre, this club attracts an international crowd, and, every weekend, pays homage to house, rock and pop music in its different rooms.

Los Cristianos: The last big tourist honeypot on the southern coast of Tenerife, is 3 kilometres away from the one mentioned above. Together, these three towns—Costa Adeje, Las Américas and Los Cristianos—attract about 5 million visitors a year.

With a distinctive family vibe, the Safari shopping centre is a modern, elegant, outdoor complex with lots of clothes stores and a variety of restaurants. On that note, if you want to line your stomach before a night out, around the central square, presided over by a fountain with light and music, there are huge numbers of restaurants. The Empire Modern British Restaurant & Steak House and the Imperial Tai-pan are just two of them.

Located opposite the Playa de las Vistas beach, is the San Telmo shopping centre, which is a little less busy than the others. Spread over its four floors are plenty of music venues. They tend to specialise in rock and reggae, but Latin music is the true queen here. It’s a great spot for a bar crawl. For example, you could start off in Casa Blanca, where all kinds of music are played, and then jump to Punta Cana, which focuses on electronic music.

Party hotspots in northern Tenerife
Santa Cruz de Tenerife: The island’s capital is one of the best options for a night out in northern Tenerife. Specifically, the area around the pedestrian street Calle de La Noria—currently renamed Calle Antonio Domínguez Alfonso—is where you’ll find the most action. Here, the same bars and restaurants that serve tapas during the day transform into clubs when night falls. The most famous are Mojos y Mojitos, and Los Reunidos Tapas y Copas, two spots that are perfect for the transition period between day and night.

La Laguna: The city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna—popularly known as La Laguna—was, during the times of the Castilian conquest, the island’s first capital. Although the loss of the status of capital meant it’s no longer the centre of political and economic power, what La Laguna has to offer these days is a healthy, thriving nightlife scene. The University, the first founded in the Canary Islands, has been a big contributor to this, as the city has a student vibe which is unique in Tenerife.

El Cuadrilátero, one of the main party hotspots, is made up of a group of alleyways in the centre that are home to more than 100 bars and restaurants. There’s a concentration of bars and pubs here that draw a predominantly young crowd at the weekends. Some of the most classic spots in the area include La Herradura (Plaza Víctor Zurita Soler), a famous beer house that’s open until 3:00 AM; or the Blues Bar (Calle Dr. Zamenhoff, 9), an alternative place with blues and singer-songwriter gigs, as well as occasional theatre performances and art exhibitions.

Puerto de la Cruz: No one’s very sure when the Latin vibe took over nights in Puerto de la Cruz (link interno). But from then on, this town, located in the heart of the La Orotava valley, has been drawing a varied crowd. Azúcar (Calle de Obispo Pérez Cáceres, 2) attracts those who want to dance bachata and salsa, while Mansion Lounge & Music (Calle Iriarte, 10) plays music of all genres, from electronic music to rock and pop.

Meanwhile, the Avenida Familia Betancourt y Molina is where you’ll find lots of gay bars, such as Anderson or Tabasco, and clubs, such as Vampis.

And if you’re looking for more than just music and drinks, at number 12 on Calle Blanco, Blanco Bar also puts on parties, concerts, stand-up comedy nights and exhibitions, amongst other activities.

August 30, 2014 </time> </li> <li> Author: Sheboldasik </li> </ul> Important: Special SIM card for Mexico and bonus 7 euros to account Any resort city offers a whole range of entertainment for vacationers.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Most often it is very standard: beaches, shopping, restaurants, clubs, bars, street performances, excursions. Playa del Carmen is no exception. <ul> <li> Play del Carmen nightlife </li> <li> Excursions and tours from Playa </li> <li> How to get to the city </li> <li> Accommodation in Playa </li> <li> Map with attractions and beaches </li> <li> Bonuses for our readers </li> </ul> We have already talked about shopping and walks around the city. On the beaches of Playa were also. Let’s look behind the curtain and look at the nightlife of a provincial town. Andryusiks and I are not fans of all these noisy events, so we limited ourselves only to a look from the outside)) <h3> Nightlife in Playa del Carmen </h3> Playa del Carmen has a second wind in the evenings! The city lights up millions of lights, starts making hundreds of sounds and becomes completely different. I have already mentioned, supposedly there is an opinion that the nightlife of Playa is even more interesting and diverse than Cancun.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> I don’t know if Cancun’s little neighbor is ready to compete with such a heavyweight, but I think anyone who is ready to have fun will not die of boredom in Playa del Carmen. So, we wait for darkness, put on the most elegant shorts and go to the epicenter of events. <h4> </h4> Fifth Avenue Walk “Quinta Avenida” is the most favorite street for tourists not only during the day but also at night. Perhaps, most of the vacationers just idly stagger along the avenue in order to see people and show themselves. Fifth Avenue at night differs from its daytime version with bright lights, crowded cafes and restaurants, sounds of live music from everywhere, even more activity of souvenir sellers and just a feeling of general movement. In general, the same embankment in some Lazarevsky, maybe only more fashion stores)) <h4> Cafes and restaurants </h4> Those vacationing citizens who are tired of simply wandering back and forth or simply decide to refresh themselves take places in catering establishments.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Already something, and cafes and restaurants in Playa are full for every taste. From cool ones with waiters in white shirts and bow ties to ordinary pizzerias. Here you will find European, Mexican and Chinese cuisine – any whim for your money. At Fifth Avenue you will find: <ul> <li> Blue Lobster – you will be offered grilled seafood, steak and all this, accompanied by live music. </li> <li> Da Gabi Ristorante – Italian cuisine, which means pizza, fettuccine, salads and other tasty treats, as well as coffee and desserts. </li> <li> Don Emilione’s – Mexican and Italian cuisine, vegetarian menu, seafood, plus jazz music included. </li> <li> Java Joe’s – Go here for good coffee, although food is also on the menu. </li> <li> Karen’s Grill & Pizzeria – everything on the grill (meat, seafood), as well as great pizza and live music. Mmm, I wanted to eat something))) </li> <li> Limones – French cuisine and all kinds of international food.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Romantic place with live music. </li> <li> Las Mananitas is a small traditional Mexican restaurant. </li> </ul> And this is by no means a complete list, because Fifth Avenue is some kind of food and entertainment factory. <h4> Sports bars </h4> Sports bars are a separate issue. They are very popular in Playa del Carmen, and not only. Especially when the World Cup takes place, as, for example, now. Oh, and these fans are noisy guys)) There are a couple of similar establishments on Fifth Avenue: <ul> <li> Tequila Barrel is a very, very popular place. </li> <li> The End Zone – almost all sports bars offer good deals on beer, like buy two bottles of beer for the price of one or take a bucket of beer for very little pesos)) </li> </ul> <h4> Clubs, bars, discos </h4> For fans of more active night rest and fun on a grand scale, clubs and bars open their doors. There are also enough such establishments in Playa del Carmen.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Finding them is not difficult: not only is the town itself small, and its party part is even smaller, the clubs are also flashing with all the colors of the rainbow and exude loud groovy music. Here is a small list of clubs where you can dance from the heart: <ul> <li> Coco Bongo is perhaps one of the most famous clubs. The same is in Cancun. Squeeze dances, all sorts of shows and other delights of the night extravaganza. </li> <li> Mambo Cafe is an interesting place with balls, foam and Cuban music. </li> <li> Blue Parrot – open club-bar with all sorts of theme nights, barbecues and other interesting things. </li> <li> Calypso – well, here you can listen and dance salsa. Sounds tempting, right? </li> <li> Rhumba Club – and salsa again. That’s right, it’s not for techno to come off in Mexico. </li> </ul> And that’s not all! Find the rest yourself! Tired? Walked up? Eating, drinking, dancing? You will be carefully taken to your hotel, apartment, condo or wherever you are staying.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You won’t have to look for a taxi for a long time, it will find you by itself! Bored in Playa del Carmen? Go to Cancun. Suddenly you will like it there so much that you will even move to the Hotelier Zone or Cancun City. And the beaches of Cancun are no worse, I would even say several times better! <h3> Excursions and tours from Playa del Carmen </h3> Since we are talking about all kinds of entertainment, I will say a few words about excursions and one-day tours. Walking along Fifth Avenue and along the waterfront, you will see many agencies and stands full of bright advertisements for all kinds of tours and excursions. All of them invite vacationers to get acquainted with local entertainment. The list, in general, is the same as in Cancun, so I will not describe all the events again, but I will suggest that those who are interested read a note about excursions and tours from Cancun. Let me just say that entertainment is not cheap. For those who want to see, for example, the pyramids of Chichen Itza, Koba, Ek-Balam, Tulum, but do not want to overpay agencies, I recommend visiting these places on your own.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> We actually always do that. There is no difficulty in this: buses depart daily in all these directions from the Central Bus Station in Playa del Carmen, collectives (minibuses) go to Tulum and Cancun, which can be found at the intersection of Av.20 and Calle2. I am sure that many vacationers in Playa will want to see the magnificent beaches of Cancun or Tulum, or magnificent cenotes. If so, then the procedure is the same – we sit on the bus or collectively and go. ***** Have fun in Playa del Carmen, dear readers!

So where in Tenerife can you dance the night away? As a digression, it is worth noting that in itself – “live music” in Tenerife is a very rare occurrence. Of course, there are local bands here, but they most often perform at the February carnivals or give concerts in the capital of the island – Santa Cruz. Therefore, young people who yearn for complete annealing will probably be disappointed. But, nevertheless, on the island of Tenerife there are quite interesting places for parties where locals like to relax and are happy to meet tourists who are eager for entertainment. 1. Tenerife Night Club – “Achaman” is an entertaining nightclub, named after the supreme deity of the Guanches tribe – the indigenous inhabitants of the Canary Islands. According to legend, this god created the sky, earth, fire, water and all living things, and imprisoned the evil demon forever inside the Teide volcano.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> For the people of Tenerife, “Achaman” is the true god of reckless nightlife. Achaman is located on Calle Brusselas, on the way to Playa Fañabé. In this atmospheric place you can listen or dance to incendiary music. The club is excellent: spacious, there are two floors, a spacious terrace encircles it around the perimeter – chillout. There are two bars here. The main bar is located next to the dance floor, an additional bar is located on the second floor. The interior of the club is tastefully decorated: huge white sofas, palm trees in tubs, wooden tables. In the center of the dance floor there is a separate podium for active dancers. The club has billiards, as well as a kicker. On Thursdays, from one in the morning until half past five in the morning, flamenco and rumba reign in the club. On Wednesday and Friday, from 11 pm to midnight, master dancers give free salsa lessons, you can bring your own dance partner or choose from a crowd of vacationers. That is, on any day, you will find popular Spanish dance music, as well as performances by local DJs.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Entrance is free, although there is face control, and security guards periodically walk around the club, keeping an eye on order. Alcohol – cheap, but high quality! Opening hours of the club “Achaman”: from eleven in the evening to six in the morning. 2. Tenerife nightclub at Las Veronicas. Playa de Las Americas is the busiest place on the island of Tenerife: when vacationers in Costa Adeje get ready for bed at ten o’clock in the evening, the resting young people of Las Americas just go out for a walk and have fun. Veronicas Street is located next to the Sol Tenerife Hotel and borders the Costa Adeje. It is not in vain that it has the fame of the most “vile place” in Tenerife, with dozens of bars, discos, and nightclubs. The level of nightclubs in Las Veronicas Street is average and will suit unpretentious visitors, but inveterate regulars of Moscow or St. Petersburg nightclubs will most likely be upset. Yes, you can’t compare with the nightclubs of Ibiza! Probably the most decent nightclub on Las Veronicas Street is Trumps, which is open from 1 a.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> m.; a rather decent audience gathers here. In general, it is worth taking a walk along the street lit by the sea of lights, and on your own look into bars, discos, pubs with rock music, maybe you will find something to your liking. Thankfully, all of these places are free to enter. 3. Nightclub Tenerife “Papagayo” – located at the end of the aforementioned entertainment street – Las Veronicas, at Avenida Rafael Puig y Lluvina, on the ocean. This is an oasis of fun nightlife and one of the best nightclubs in Tenerife. “Papagayo Beach Club” is a very decent and high-status institution: the girls come here dressed up, the guys are neat. The music is light and danceable. The dance floor is very large and spacious, the tables are inside the club and on the ocean. There are a lot of guards here. Entrance costs ten euros, one free cocktail is included. Papagayo is also a restaurant where diners can choose from an extensive menu, including sushi and rolls, which are rare in the Canary Islands.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Every Tuesday from 9 pm to 12 am, live music concerts are given here. Parties start at 11 pm and end at 5:30 am. 4. Tenerife nightclub “Kaluna Beach Club” – located on Playa de Las Americas, right on the ocean. It also works as a daytime “beach-club”, delighting guests with excellent electronic music by the huge pool, delicious cocktails, excellent service and helpful staff, including Russian speakers. In the evening you can listen and dance to live music. Prices are not very high, fully justifying the quality, friendly atmosphere and service. 5. Tenerife night club “Tibu Club” – a large club located in the heart of Las Americas, near the hotel “La Palma”. There are two dance floors here. Music is played in Latin or electronic style. Entrance costs – ten euros, plus a free cocktail. For the entertainment of visitors, interesting shows are periodically held and memorable prizes are raffled off. It is worth booking a table here in advance, as there may not be enough space.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In one of the VIP-cabins, near the dance floor, you will have a good time and receive a bottle of wine from the establishment as a gift. The club’s program is full of events: you will be entertained by famous DJs from Tenerife and Europe. Tibu often hosts interesting shows, such as the Fire Symphony performance, with fire eaters, local stage stars, popular bands and famous artists. To attract visitors, memorable prizes are played here. 6. Tenerife night club “Monkey Beach Club” – is located on Las Americas, namely on the beach of Troya, on the picturesque coast of the Atlantic Ocean. This is one of the best nightclubs in Tenerife, with an excellent outdoor disco, cafe, restaurant, cocktail bar. Start of discos in “Monkey Beach”, taking place here on Friday and Saturday: from six in the evening. There are often themed parties in honor of various festivities: the opening and closing of the season, the feast of Ivan Kupala Day, the summer carnival, the night in white and others.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The club season starts in May and ends in October. 7. Tenerife nightclub “El Faro” – one of the best nightclubs in Tenerife, with a stylish and ultra-modern interior, unique lighting and sound systems. This nightclub is located in the resort of Las Americas near Puerto Colon. It is open daily, but the most fun there is on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Therefore, if you love noisy and cheerful companies, great music and endless dancing, then you are in the right place! Nightclub has two levels: dance floor and terraces. There are bar counters next to the dance floor. Here you can hear a variety of music, you will be entertained by famous European DJs. The El Faro Terrace is a place where you can relax in comfort, thanks to a beautifully crafted relaxing environment with Balinese beds and amazing ocean views. If you want to dance, it is not necessary to go to the dance floor, you can do it right on the terrace, most often music in the Latin style plays here. The peak of fun in this club begins after two in the morning.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> 8. Tenerife night club “El Vivo” – this night club-restaurant is also located in the party place of the island – Las Americas, in the green area of Las Veroniacas. The interior of the establishment is made in a pirate style. There are several bars where delicious cocktails are prepared. Visitors are waiting for several dance floors where different music is played, and there is also an outdoor terrace from which you can admire the magnificent seascapes of Tenerife. The El Vivo club often hosts both local and visiting performers and fun themed parties. There is a Russian-speaking staff, and in general, this club is very popular among our compatriots. We recommend coming here on Friday and Saturday, after midnight, when the peak of fun begins. Of course, we have given you a far from complete list of interesting and atmospheric nightclubs on the island of Tenerife, focusing on the party place of the island – Las Americas. There are many night and dance clubs in other places, we have described the most popular of them.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> We hope we have helped you make your choice. <h2> del Carmen – holidays in America, how to get there, excursions, prices for holidays, reviews </h2> Julia Stern <ul> <li> Copy link0161 </ul> Table of contents [Hide] Getting there By plane When is the season.

As a result, I ended up in a really beautiful, almost paradise in terms of the beauty of the beaches and the sea, the town, which became for me a great opportunity to relax after living in noisy Cancun. True, Playa del Carmen can be called the best resort, perhaps in Central and South America, but not in the whole world. In terms of a sense of peace, tranquility and exceptional relaxation, Playa still can hardly compete with the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and, in particular, Turkey and Greece. So, I spent less than a month in Playa del Carmen, as Merida, Mexico City and Acapulco were waiting for me on a long 6-month journey. I remember the town as cute, quiet enough to really relax, but still it was Mexican, and this is not at all a positive feature of it.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> As in other cities of Mexico, in Playa I noticed the wariness and even passive aggression of local residents, who were sometimes even arrested right on the streets, loud swearing, strange sidelong glances and even local criminal groups, which, by the way, look just like a group students discussing the series. Unfortunately, even a city as sharply aimed at tourism as Playa has not been deprived of attention on the drug route from South America to the USA, so I would never call this city safe or peaceful. However, the beaches here are larger and much cleaner than in Cancun, the water in the sea is really amazing, ideal for amateur snorkeling, and the villas on the first line can cost you quite a modest price compared to the bungalows on Maldives or Caribbean. Playa will definitely be in the top 100 places to visit at least once in a lifetime, but for me it will be somewhere at the bottom of this list. If you are going somewhere for your honeymoon, then a week in this city (if you book a room in an expensive hotel!), you will probably really like it.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> However, we should not forget that the city itself is rather strange, chaotic and simply dirty. However, like everything else in Mexico. <h3> Getting there </h3> From Russia, Playa del Carmen can only be reached by plane. There are no ferries, road, rail or other means of communication with Russia. Playa del Carmen itself has a regional airport, but it does not serve international flights. Therefore, you will have to fly here through Cancun Airport. Here you can find a tour to Playa del Carmen. <h4> By plane </h4> Cancun has its own international airport, Aeropuerto Nacional de Cancun, which is located 55 kilometers north of Playa del Carmen. Flights can be different: <ul> <li> direct Moscow – Cancun and St. Petersburg – Cancun by Nordwind Airlines or National. The price is from 1200 USD in both directions. </li> <li> with a transfer in New York or with two (in New York and Miami) Aeroflot companies. Here you need a full-fledged American visa.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Ticket price – from 700 USD in both directions. </li> <li> with a change in Munich or with a change in Berlin and Munich (Berlin and Düsseldorf) by Airberlin. For a transplant in less than 24 hours, citizens of the Russian Federation do not need a Schengen visa. From 700 USD in both directions. </li> </ul> You can compare prices and look for the best deals, for example, here. <h4> How to get from Cancun airport to Playa del Carmen </h4> There are several ways to get from the airport to Playa del Carmen: <ul> <li> by ADO bus for about 8 USD to the bus station, then from the bus station you can take a taxi to your hotel; </li> <li> by taxi for 100 USD to your hotel; </li> <li> by minibus to the center of Playa del Carmen (private companies) for 6-10 USD; </li> <li> by car rented at the airport on the following route: </li> </ul> Attention ! To return from Playa del Carmen to Cancun Airport, you need to find the ADO bus station, not go to the bus station.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It is located on 20 Avenue North (20 av North), at the intersection with 12th street (12 North street). Below you can see what it looks like: 9Ol000 September Hour difference: Moscow + 8 Kazan + 8 Samara + 9 Yekaterinburg + 10 Novosibirsk + 12 Vladivostok + 15 <h3> When is the season. When to go </h3> Everyone says that Yucatan and Playa del Carmen in particular is a year-round resort, but even here there are some nuances due to seasonal climate changes. Coming here in the summer, you can get into a week with torrential tropical rains that last 2-8 hours. At the same time, the air temperature will be very high and comfortable for swimming. It is worth considering that in the summer in Playa there can be big waves to the sea. When you come here in winter, you can find the sea too cold for swimming (December-January), which, however, will appeal to those who like coolness.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> But the air temperature will be summer, hot and pleasant. I advise you to choose the middle option – April-May and September-October. At this time, the weather takes both pluses and minuses from each of the seasons, a little bit of everything. There simply can’t be an exact answer to the question “when is it better to go to Playa del Carmen”: someone will like the hot sea, and it doesn’t matter that it sometimes rains (summer), someone will like cool water, but no heat ( winter). <h4> Playa del Carmen in summer </h4> Summers in this part of the world are very, very hot and humid. So humid that clothes and towels never dry completely. If you do not like moisture and dampness, you should not go to Playa in the summer! It is also important to know that in summer the air temperature can rise to a critical level, it will be very hot. Although the water in the sea will also be very warm, ideal for swimming with children. <h4> Playa del Carmen in autumn </h4> Autumn is the best time to travel.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It falls on September-October, when the rains finally end, and the sea has not yet had time to cool down. I would advise you to go to Playa at this time of the year or in the spring. <h4> Playa del Carmen in the spring </h4> If you are not afraid of two hours of heavy rains, do not want to swim in the cold sea, but do not like extreme heat, come to Yucatan in April-May, when the beaches are empty, everything around is clean, bloom flowers and great weather. So in the spring in Playa del Carmen you can have a great rest! <h4> Playa del Carmen in winter </h4> From December to February in Playa del Carmen lasts the most traditional season for a beach holiday. True, there is one important point: the sea at this time of the year is not very warm and is not suitable for those who are looking for the opportunity to swim in a warm tropical lagoon! The best part of the winter months is absolutely zero chance of clouds and rainy days! <h4> Playa del Carmen monthly weather </h4> Playa del Carmen monthly weather January +22.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> 3 February +22.7 March +23.8 April +25.5 May +26.6 June +26.9 July +26.9 August +27.2 September +26.7 October +25.8 November +23.9 December +22.7 <h3> Districts. Where to live </h3> There are only two areas in Playa del Carmen where tourists should stay. This is the Center and Sak Pakal, which is located next to the center.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> All of them have a long coastline with clean beaches. Another place for tourists is the promenade north and south of Playa del Carmen, occupied by large hotels and resorts. Below you will see a map of all the main areas in Playa del Carmen and find out what they are. <ul> <li> The center is the best place to stay in Playa del Carmen. You will have access to all possible infrastructure, restaurants and cafes, shops and buses. At the same time, locals do not live here, which is a definite plus in Mexico! I strongly advise you to choose this area for living. This is how the street in the area looks like: </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Sac Pacal is a small and very cheap area north of Playa del Carmen. There are also hotels, restaurants and cafes here, but the atmosphere is more oppressive, although you can stay during your vacation. I used to live here, but in the end I still had to constantly walk to the Center. Buildings here are less dense, the houses are lower than in the Center, the sidewalks are worse.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> This is what an ordinary street of the area looks like: </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Luis Donaldo – private houses of ordinary middle-class Mexicans are concentrated in this densely built-up area. There are very scary unkempt houses and gardens. I would not advise you to settle here, even if it seems on the map that it is close to the sea and the center. The atmosphere here is no longer touristy, there are almost no cafes and restaurants. This is what a good street looks like here: </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Echidal is an area for locals with typical buildings, which should be avoided like fire. And this applies to all more northern regions. Here I do not advise you to appear at all, even if you are consumed by curiosity about how ordinary people live in Playa. This area can honestly be called the “beginning of the ghetto” from the sea in Playa del Carmen. This is how the street looks like here: </li> </ul> According to the types of housing in Playa, you can choose from the following list: <ul> <li> rent a room in a hotel – from 20 to 180 USD per day for a double room; </li> <li> rent a room in a luxury hotel – 200-300 USD per day for a double room; </li> <li> rental of apartments in a hotel (two or three rooms) – from 40 to 250 USD per day for four; </li> <li> rental of a villa with a pool – from 300 to 1500 USD per day for 6-10 people, usually 3 or 4 bedrooms; </li> <li> renting an apartment from a private owner for a long time through a real estate agency (for example, with an annual contract – from 200 USD per month for a small apartment or 600-1000 USD per month for a villa with a pool and good furniture).<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </li> </ul> You can book a room on Booking, but first compare prices here. And on this site you can find rental housing. <h3> What are the prices for holidays </h3> Below you will see prices that will help you calculate the budget for your holiday in Playa del Carmen: <ul> <li> the cheapest hotels – 25 USD. </li> <li> The price of lunch in an inexpensive restaurant is 10 USD, dinner in an expensive restaurant is 30 USD, lunch with a meat dish in a traditional cafe is 5-15 USD. </li> <li> The price of excursions is from 30 USD to 160 USD. </li> <li> The fare for a taxi in the city is 5-10 USD, by bus in the city – 1 USD. </li> </ul> As you can see, Playa is quite an expensive holiday resort.

Includes Cristalino and Azul, a group of three called Chikin Ha, Kantun Chi and Eden. Opening hours: from 8 to 17. Entrance price is 2-6 USD for each cenote per person. Address: Cenotes Cristalino and Azul are located near the Barceló Maya Resort. To get to these cenotes, you need to take the bus to Tulum and get off in front of the Barcelo Maya Beach Hotel (stop on request). The cenotes are 50-300 meters apart, you can walk. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Grand Cenote.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Opening hours: from 8 to 17. The cost of entry is free. Address: Highway 307, at the turn to Kobu. To get to this attraction, you need to take a bus to Tulum (5 USD), then transfer by taxi to Gran Cenote (taxi costs less than 8 USD). </li> </ul> I advise you to visit all the cenotes in one day, as most of them are nearby – see the map! <h4> Beaches. What are the best </h4> There are no separate beaches in Playa del Carmen, they are all part of one huge beach that stretches along the entire city. So, some of them have various advantages, which I will discuss below. It is worth noting that the number of waves and entry into the sea on all beaches is exactly the same – the bottom is sandy, all beaches are relatively convenient for children (for example, from 5 years old) and at the same time they have only weak waves. It is worth noting that the further south the beach is, the more algae can be on it, it depends on the quality of the beach cleaning, and not on natural cycles.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <ul> <li> Coco Beach. Sun loungers: 6 USD. Restaurants, food: yes, bar. Pluses of the beach: a beach with a youthful and very tropical atmosphere. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Mamita’s beach. Sun loungers: 5 USD.

Sun loungers: no. Restaurants, food: no. Pluses of the beach: an interesting lagoon, but the beach is not remarkable. </li> </ul> <h4> Museums. What to visit </h4> Playa del Carmen has two main museums that are worth visiting for most tourists, especially families. These are the 3D Wonder Museum, where you can take pictures in surreal poses and landscapes, as well as the Modern Art Gallery. Also on the streets in the city center you will find several more art galleries, the entrance to which usually costs 5 USD or is free, as the paintings are sold.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Below you will see the location of these two museums: <ul> <li> 3D Museum of Wonders – amazing 3D graphics effects in different rooms allow you to take gorgeous pictures for memory!. Opening hours: from 9 to 22. Entrance fee – 15 USD (400 MXN). Address: 10 Avenida Norte. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Gaston Charo Contemporary Art Gallery is a great opportunity to delve into the world of surreal local contemporary art. Opening hours: from 15 to 23:30. The entrance is free. Canvases cost from 20 to 7000 USD. Address: 5ta avenida | Entre 6 y8. </li> </ul> <h4> Tourist streets </h4> In Playa del Carmen, the entire Center area is one continuous area for tourists. It is here that all the best restaurants, bars and cafes, boutiques and shops, various galleries and parks are located. Below on the map, I marked three parks and a stadium, which are the easiest to navigate in the city. Look at the entire area between them and along them from the coast – this will be the main tourist area of the city.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> From the inner part of the city, you should be limited by a highway called Avenida 50 or Avenida 50. Further north and west, I advise you never to go. The exception is a trip to Cenote Chak Tun and a walk along Benito Juarez Avenue to the Alux restaurant. The main arteries of the city are Constituentes avenues and Avenida 10 Norte. <h4> What to see in 1 day </h4> Since Playa del Carmen is a rather simple resort, I offer you the following excursion program: <ul> <li> 08:00 – visit the Xcaret eco-park, taking an excursion. </li> <li> 17:00 – we go to the main beach of the city (public) and Shangri-La beach, take a cocktail at sunset. </li> <li> 19:00 — we look around the city center, go to shopping centers and shops. </li> <li> 22:00 – choose a restaurant for a late dinner. </li> </ul> <h4> What to see in the vicinity </h4> To go to another city in Mexico, in Playa del Carmen, you need to come to the intersection of 20 Avenue North and 12th Street North (20 av North and 12 North Street).<img loading='lazy' src='' /> This is how this station looks like, which is not a city bus station, but a private parking lot for ADO buses (the best in Playa!): So, from here you can get to different cities of Mexico, with and without transfers. The following ones I recommend you visit: <ul> <li> Cancun (70 km) – It is worth going to Cancun from Playa del Carmen only if you really like beaches and really want to see the beaches of Cancun in the Hotelier Zone. To do this, you need to take the ADO bus to Cancun, it will take you to the Cancun bus station, then transfer to a regular bus to the Hotelier Zone. The trip will take approximately 1.5 hours in total. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Puerto Morelos (40 km) is an amazing resort town on a very small scale that will give you a real Caribbean holiday experience! Here you can visit the zoo with monkeys (Jardín Botanico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marin), the amazingly beautiful cenote Cenote Zapote Ecoparque (with a guided tour) and the Croco Cun Zoo (there you can touch a crocodile, feed a monkey, look at big wild cats) at the exit from the city on the highway from Cancun.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Punta Maroma (20 km) is a small settlement next to Playa. The beach here is amazing, full of thick palm trees, and behind them the real jungle begins! There are expensive hotels nearby, so the prices here are appropriate. True, you should not go here if you do not like “wild tourism”. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Tulum (65 km) is an ancient Mayan city located right at the water’s edge. To get to it, you must first take the Playa-Tulum bus, then transfer to a taxi. The trip will cost about 15 USD per person one way. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Merida (280 km) – you can get here by ADO bus or Cancun-Merida plane in 1 hour. It is best to choose a plane, it will be quite cheap, especially if you go to the airport by bus. This is a colonial city with a rich history and beautiful architecture, which is worth seeing for everyone who has already flown to Mexico! </li> </ul> Routes to neighboring cities Playa del Carmen – Akumal 36 km Playa del Carmen – Tulum 61 km Playa del Carmen – Cancun 64 km Playa del Carmen – Punta Allen 101 km Playa del Carmen – Holbox Island 104 km <h4> Nearby islands </h4> Below you will see a map of the islands that are near Playa and Cancun: <ul> <li> The Island of Women (Isla Mujeres, Isla Mujeres) is located near Cancun, about 10 km from its coastline.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You can only get here by ferry from Cancun. Departure is either from the beaches closest to the city (there are piers with boats and ticket sales on the Tortuga beach and at a mark of 4 km) or from the port of Gran Puerto (Gran Puerto). The fare is 20 USD. Isla Mujeres has many interesting beaches, rocky coasts, restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as hotels. Here you can take a walk, ride a rented moped, or just walk around the whole island! </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Cozumel (Isla Cozumel) is located near Playa del Carmen. Ferry tickets cost 10 USD for adults and 5 USD for children. Departure is from the terminal on Av. Lic. Benito Juarez, opposite the Palmeras Restaurant. Cozumel has some very beautiful beaches and rocky shores, snorkeling, diving and water sports. </li> </ul> <h3> Food. What to try </h3> Of course, in Mexico you should definitely try Mexican cuisine, but it is in Playa del Carmen that I advise you to opt for seafood dishes. Usually they are much more expensive than meat dishes, but worth it! Don’t order cheap squids, explore different types of fish, crayfish, try lobsters, mussels and you will definitely like it! <h4> Recommended places </h4> Below I have compiled a list of recommended places for you, since Playa del Carmen is just the city for lovers of bars and restaurants.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> On the map below, I marked them, as well as nightclubs, which I will discuss below. <h4> Budget </h4> <ul> <li> El Fogon is a simple eatery with traditional Mexican cuisine.

The average check for dinner is 30-60 USD (300-600 MXN). Full address: Calle 2 Norte, 50 meters from the beach. </li> </ul> <h3> Holidays </h3> The BPM Festival takes place in Playa del Carmen in January and in Portugal in the summer. This festival is very popular with local youth and American student tourists. True, one should be wary of any mass gatherings in Mexico (be it entertainment, tourist holidays, religious rites, etc.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> ). For example, on January 16, 2017, there was shooting at the last electronic festival in Playa del Carmen, 5 people died, 15 more were injured. It should be understood that any such festivals in Mexico are primarily a place for the distribution and use of drugs (more than 60% of people will be “high” and more than half of them will be on hard drugs like cocaine). Read more about safety in Mexico below. <h3> Security. What to watch out for </h3> Playa del Carmen is perhaps the safest Mexican resort, if such exists. However, due to the high level of crime both in Latin America and specifically in the Yucatan, I do not recommend traveling to this part of the world with children. Some argue that there is no crime in the Yucatan, that drug trafficking and drug trafficking take place somewhere far away, in the north of the country, but this is not so. Alas, the Yucatan also has this, just to a lesser extent. Therefore, looking deeper into any area, you may encounter an atmosphere that is clearly criminal, while at the same time in its prime.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Arrests for drug trafficking are constantly taking place in the city, there is a constant (!) drug trafficking, gangs and a dominant cartel, however, as in all of Mexico. The police walk the streets with machine guns and not two people at all, as is customary in the US or Europe. All because we are talking about well-organized crime. Attacks on law enforcement officers occur in groups of 10-12 people, and both local residents and both armed parties are sure to suffer in a shootout. <h3> Things to do </h3> In the vicinity of Playa del Carmen there are several interesting parks and eco-parks that will appeal to every tourist. The eco-park combines the functions of a water park, an interactive museum and, often, a beach holiday. Below you will see a map of these parks: <ul> <li> Ventura Park is a great place to relax with kids! Address: Blvd. Kukulcan Km. 25 Hotel Zone (opposite the Dolphinarium). You can get here by regular bus from Playa del Carmen to Cancun, the Hotelier Zone.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Ventura Amusement Park has Wet’n Wild Water Park. Open from 10 am to 5 pm, the cost of admission to both parks (36 USD for an adult and 26 USD for a child) includes lunch, buffet, soft drinks. </li> <li> Xcaret Park is an eco-entertainment park that combines a water park, a museum and a show program. The park is close to Playa del Carmen and is practically a must-see if you love water parks at all. The entrance fee is 160 USD. I wrote more about the park here. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Xel-Ha Park (near Tulum) is another eco-friendly amusement park that is very popular in the area. I would definitely recommend it for you to visit. The entrance fee is 150 USD on the all-inclusive system. </li> </ul> <h4> Shopping and shops </h4> Playa del Carmen is a great shopping resort. There are many authentic Mexican shops with local goods: from souvenirs, textiles and paintings to clothes and shoes. And in shopping centers there are a sufficient number of international brands, such as H&M, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger and others.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Below I have compiled a map of shopping centers and supermarkets for those who want to bring a lot of shopping from Playa del Carmen, as well as for those who prefer to dine at home, thereby cutting their vacation budget by almost half, since restaurants in Playa del Carmen are quite expensive. Compared to, for example, Turkey, you get a threefold increase for the same quality of food and service. So, in Playa you will find the following shopping centers: <ul> <li> Plaza Quinta Alegria is a fairly large shopping center where you can find everything you need. This shopping center is designed in an American format, is very convenient and is an oasis of modernity in this resort. Opening hours: from 09:00 to 23:00. Address: Calle Quinta Avenida. Mz 35. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Paseo Del Carmen is a small shopping center in the tourist area of Playa del Carmen. In architectural terms, it is a whole mini-district of small two-story villas, and not one building, as in an ordinary shopping center.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Walking along the streets, you will find boutiques and restaurants right next to you. Opening hours: from 10:00 to 23:00. Full address: 10 Avenida Sur 8. </li> <li> Plaza Playcar is a shopping center in the area of expensive Playacar hotels, where prices are quite high by the standards of this resort. Nevertheless, it will be of interest to any lover of shopping. The architectural solution here is non-standard – the shopping center does not look like an ordinary American one, but is decorated in a colonial style with boutiques and patios with fountains. Opening hours: from 08:00 to 22:00. Full address: Paseo Xaman Ha Mz. 25Lt. 19.4 Playacar Phase II. </li> <li> Centro Maya is another US format mall in Playa del Carmen. However, it may also be of interest to you. Opening hours: from 09:00 to 23:00. Full address: Paseo Xaman Ha Mz. 25Lt. 19, 4 Playacar Phase II. </li> </ul> <h4> Bars. Where to go </h4> There are a lot of bars in Playa del Carmen, and they are all concentrated in the central tourist area.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> There really is where to spend an unforgettable night in your life, so you should not stop at 1-2 establishments, you should go 3-6 per night to enjoy the intoxicating atmosphere of this city. <ul> <li> Kitxen – for those who are primarily interested in cocktails and do not want to spend a fortune overnight. Here are quite reasonable prices that will help save the budget on a trip. Opening hours: from 10:00 to 02:00. The average check for a couple of cocktails is 10 USD. Full address: 5th Avenue and 20th Street. </li> <li> La Fe is probably one of the most popular bars in the resort. It is located right in the middle of the tourist pedestrian center, here you can sit indoors or right at the tables on the street, looking at tourists. Opening hours: from 10:00 to 02:00. The average check for dinner with alcohol is 20 USD. Full address: Quinta Avenida between Calle 26 y 28. </li> <li> La Perla Pixan Cuisine is a great bar and restaurant that has a very Mexican feel to it. Opening hours: from 11:00 to 03:00.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The average check for dinner with alcohol is up to 30 USD. Full address: Calle 34 between Avenidas 5 and 10. Below is a photo of this place: </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Ranita is one of those good bars where you can just chat with friends without shouting at each other. Opening hours: from 13:00 to 02:00. The average check for a cocktail is 4-5 USD. Full address: Calle 10 between Avenida 10 y 5. </li> <li> Don Mezcal is an authentic Mexican bar where you can taste many varieties of tequila. Opening hours: from 17:30 to 03:00. The average bill for a cocktail is 4-6 USD. Full address: Quinta Avenida and Calle 10 Norte, Playa del Carmen, Mexico. </li> <li> Dolores Yucabar is a great bar with a rooftop terrace. Opening hours: from 13:00 to 03:00. The price of tequila and cocktails is from 2 to 6 USD. Full address: 1° Ave. Norte on the corner of Calle 12 Norte. </li> </ul> <h4> Clubs and nightlife </h4> In total, in Playa del Carmen you can find three dozen nightclubs, dance clubs, karaoke clubs, bars with dance floors.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Below I present a selection of the most modern of them, since most of the existing ones are still in a small format. All clubs do not have an official dress code, but all local Mexicans dress quite presentably – you can see men in trouser suits, men in trousers and vests. There is a double standard here – tourists are allowed in everything except tracksuits, T-shirts and shorts (as well as sneakers and slates), and for Mexicans the dress code is very strict. That is, you, as a tourist, can come in (for guys) – trousers, a shirt and shoes, or (for girls) – shorts (but not beach ones), trousers or a skirt and any beautiful blouse. Playa del Carmen also has an all-inclusive ticket policy. There are usually different packages to choose from. For example: admission + drinks from 1 am to 4 am costs the standard amount announced below for each club, and another option: entrance + drink from 11 pm to 6 am + branded cocktail costs 30-50% more. Attention: all nightclubs in Playa are strictly only allowed from 18 years old, so you may have to show documents if you look younger.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <ul> <li> Mandala is a great nightclub for those who are not used to dancing all night and just want to go to the club for some fun late at night. Usually only young people up to 26-27 years old rest here. Opening hours: from 22:00 to 3:00. Entrance fee – 75 USD with drinks. Full address: Calle 12 Av. 1ra, Col.Centro. </li> <li> Coco Maya is a very modern club with only DJs, no shows of dance bands, vocals and other artists. True, some DJs rap. I would advise this club only for those who are 18-30 years old, as it is usually very crowded and uncomfortable to relax in the traditional sense of the word – here, first of all, they dance, jump, actively participate in the performance of DJs. The club is quite large, designed for 3000 people. Opening hours: from 23:00 to 6:00. Entrance fee – VIP with drinks 65 USD. Full address: Calle 11 Norte. </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Coco Bongo is a large modern club that hosts great shows every day. Here you can not only dance and drink, but also watch performances by artists, dance troupes, burlesque.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In total, there are 30-40 different performances per night. The entire contingent is represented here – American and Mexican tourists from 20 to 60 years old. I would say that this club is more designed for an audience of 20-30 years old, but the tourists come here are very different. Opening hours: from 23:30 to 6:00. Entrance price – 70 USD, including all drinks. Cocktails are free. Full address: Calle 12 Norte 10 (at the intersection of 12th and 10th streets). </li> </ul> <h4> Extreme Sports </h4> In Playa del Carmen, all extreme activities are related to water sports. Here are some of them that may be of interest to you: <ul> <li> Flight with a parachute tied to a boat (i.e. parasailing) – 80 USD. </li> <li> Water bike, rent – 40 USD per half hour. This watercraft may not be given to a minor child, but usually the rules are not so strict, there are exceptions (for example, from 14 or 16 years old). </li> </ul> <ul> <li> Scuba diving – 80-100 USD. This adventure is quite expensive, but it’s worth it! Usually the boat will take you to the bay of Cozumel island or to one of the lagoons in the Yucatan, which you will definitely enjoy! </li> </ul> <h4> Souvenirs.</h4> <img loading='lazy' src='' /> What to bring as a gift </h4> From Playa del Carmen, I strongly advise you not to bring souvenirs at all. Usually masks, textiles or lamps bought here do not fit into the interior at all. Mexican culture is so colorful that all the souvenirs will be inappropriately colored, and in the end they will just have to be hidden in a closet. Therefore, I advise you to limit yourself to fridge magnets (how could it be without it!) And modern-style clothes from branded stores (American, mostly). At the same time, very colorful figurines on the theme of Dia de los Muertos are sold here, which will delight lovers of bright souvenirs; quite interesting decorations made of ornamental stones, which calmly flow into simple or classic interiors. On the streets there are souvenir shops with baubles, on which any inscription is quickly sewn as a keepsake. Finally, stunning golden obsidian can be found here – a stone collector’s dream! <h3> How to get around the city </h3> The easiest way to get around Playa del Carmen is on foot, since 90% of areas are housing for locals and not interesting for tourists.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> And the sights in the surroundings are worth seeing with the help of excursions, this is the most convenient solution for everyone. <h4> Taxi. What features exist </h4> A taxi around the city costs around 3-5 USD, but in principle everything is accessible on foot. The fare is paid only in cash, preferably in dollars. Below you will see a map of the location of taxi ranks, companies and telephones: <h4> Buses </h4> Regular buses run around the city with a fare of 1 USD (3 MXN), which most tourists simply do not need, because the central region is located in a fairly convenient geographical position and does not require too much effort from visitors to explore it. Buses are paid in pesos only, dollars are not accepted, stops are usually on demand. <h4> Car rental </h4> Car rental in Playa del Carmen is in demand among tourists to see the Mayan ruins throughout the peninsula, various cenotes and nearby cities. However, if you plan to see only 3-5 sights, you should also consider getting there by bus and / or taxi, as it will be much cheaper.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Renting a good car costs about 100 USD per day, payment is made in Mexican pesos or dollars. Here you can compare prices from different distributors. <h4> Tips for motorists </h4> Renting a car in Mexico is only worthwhile if you want to see more than 5 or even 10 sights in the area on your own, as bus service and cheap taxis are everywhere. And in Playa itself, the central area, where all the most interesting and necessary is located, is quite convenient for walking, so there is no need to rent a car. <h3> Playa del Carmen — holidays with children </h3> Despite the fact that there are many eco-parks, cenotes and water activities in this region of Mexico, I would not advise going to Playa del Carmen with children, since Mexico is still not the best safe and clean place. There have been thousands of cases of severe poisoning (when the effects are felt for months or weeks), deterioration of immunity after a trip, not to mention culture shock among children and adults.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> So, personally, I advise Turkey for holidays with children (Oludeniz – for kids under 3 years old, Kemer – for schoolchildren and Marmaris – for teenagers). <h3> Ski holidays </h3> See also: <ul> <li> Side hotels with aqua park or water slides </li> <li> The most dangerous and safest cities in Mexico </li> <li> Seine River </li> <li> TOP 5 good hotels in Egypt with water parks </li> <li> Yasmine tours all inclusive on line 1 </li> </ul> Anything to add? <h2> Nightclubs in Ibiza / Travel Agency of Kirov “Four Seasons” Kirov </h2> Nightclubs are the centers of attraction of Ibiza, its main attractions, and visiting them is the basis of the recreation program for almost all visitors. Tours to Ibiza have never been the cheapest, but every year thousands of tourists from all over the world come here in search of new adventures. The nightlife here does not stop for a minute, nightclubs are deafening with music, and laser shows are visible even from the mainland.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h4> Ibiza party schedule summer 2013 </h4> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="top"> Monday </td> <td valign="top"> Tuesday </td> <td valign="top"> Wednesday </td> <td valign="top"> Thursday </td> <td valign="top"> Friday </td> <td valign="top"> Saturday </td> <td valign="top"> Sunday </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Pacha </td> <td valign="top"> Epica – Dirty Dutch </td> <td valign="top"> Flower Power </td> <td valign="top"> Wisdom Of The Glove </td> <td valign="top"> F*** Me I’m Famous </td> <td valign="top"> Insane </td> <td valign="top"> Pure Pacha </td> <td valign="top"> Solomun </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Amnesia </td> <td valign="top"> Cocoon </td> <td valign="top"> Together </td> <td valign="top"> La Troya </td> <td valign="top"> Cream </td> <td valign="top"> Music On </td> <td valign="top"> Matinee </td> <td valign="top"> Popstars </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Space </td> <td valign="top"> Cafe Ole </td> <td valign="top"> Pure Intec </td> <td valign="top"> Ibiza Calling </td> <td valign="top"> ENTER Opening Party </td> <td valign="top"> Clandestin </td> <td valign="top"> Kehakuma </td> <td valign="top"> We Love </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Eden </td> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="top"> Ibiza Live Superstars </td> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="top"> Judgment Fridays </td> <td valign="top"> Garlands </td> <td valign="top"> Full On Opening Party </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Es Paradis </td> <td valign="top"> Color </td> <td valign="top"> Fiesta del Agua </td> <td valign="top"> Ibiza Rocks Aftershow </td> <td valign="top"> Kisstory </td> <td valign="top"> Fiesta del Agua </td> <td valign="top"> Hed Kandi </td> <td valign="top"> GLOW Neon Paint Party </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h5> Detailed Ibiza party programs 20130006 is the most popular and glamorous nightclub in Ibiza, with several branch clubs in mainland Spain.</h5> <img loading='lazy' src='' /> The main advantage is a truly huge VIP area and an equally impressive outdoor terrace where you can take a breath of fresh air after long dances on the dance floor. Among the shortcomings, many DJs note poor sound tuning and the privilege of only one musical direction (house almost always dominates here, and with a rather tangible commercial flavor). Nightclub Pacha has a relatively small but cozy area, it is located on the outskirts of the capital city – Ibiza, on the second line from the sea, in a prestigious area. The club’s work schedule depends on the season, in the summer it opens its doors every night, the entrance fee can reach 70 euros (with an average range of 20-50 euros), the rest of the time – only on weekends and holidays. Despite the pretentiousness of the club, there is no strict dress control in it, you can come here both in a boiler dress and in your favorite jeans, but men, of course, should look for something more decent than shorts in their wardrobe. The most popular parties are “F*** Me I’m Famous”, literally crowds of people come to them, so it can be unrealistically crowded, so there is practically no place for dancing, you just have to stand and listen.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Address: Av del Ocho de Agosto, Ibiza Town <h3> Amnesia </h3> The Amnesia nightclub has been repeatedly recognized as the best club in the world by IDMA. Which is well deserved Amnesia is a really great club: great decor, great sound and amazing parties. The club gained international fame after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when it became so popular and noisy that residents of the neighboring city of San Rafael demanded that the Amnesia dance floors be covered with a roof. Early 19In the 90s, more than 15 bars were already working in the nightclub, and the staff of the institution was 200 employees in the high season. The main residents of this nightclub were British DJs. It was during these years that Ibiza became the club capital of the world. Now Amnesia is a nightclub where more than 7,000 rave fans can relax at the same time. A VIP zone stretches along the perimeter of the entire second floor, and in order to cool the ardor of the conquerors of the dance floor, two “ice guns” are installed in the Amnesia club, which douse them with cold air flows.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Amnesia also hosts foam parties – Espuma, where huge clouds of foam literally fall on the dance floor. The audience of Amnesia is quite diverse, people of different ages and incomes can relax here, no one will be superfluous. From the tourist centers of Playa d’en Bossa and San Antonio, the nightclub can be reached by branded red buses, and it’s completely free. The entrance ticket price varies from €30 to €55 for Cream and Cocoon discos, depending on the season, the entrance fee for other days is from €20 to €30. The price for cocktails is €12 or more, for beer €10. Prices in the bars of the upper tier are higher. Address: km 5 Ibiza – San Antonio road, San Rafael <h3> Space </h3> The history of the club began in 1989 with British DJs Alex P and Brandon Block. Before them, Space terrace was never used for dancing, but was a favorite place for morning conversations over a cup of coffee. The roar of music periodically interrupts the noise of flying planes, the mass greeting of which has become a kind of feature of this nightclub.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> As with Amnesia, due to complaints from local residents about noise, the terrace had to be covered with a roof. In addition to the popular terrace, the Space nightclub has 5 more dance floors. Until 2008, Spanish laws allowed to work 22 hours a day, so in Space 2 hours rested, and the rest of the time came off to its fullest. However, under the new laws, a restriction has been introduced to open no earlier than 16:30, and close no later than 6:00. The Space nightclub is perfectly on the edge between underground and public, which distinguishes it from many other nightclubs in Ibiza. The main contingent of Space is young and unpretentious, but at the same time quite stylish people who know a lot about quality music. Prices 20-45 dollars for the entrance, depending on the program of the party. Address: Playa D’en Bossa, San Jose <h3> Eden </h3> The symbol of the nightclub is an apple cut in half. By the way, the neighboring club Es Paradis has a whole apple on its emblem, perhaps this is the result of many years of competition.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Most of the visitors to the club Eden are young Britons and Irish, who celebrate the moment of freedom with unimaginable scope and noise, finally breaking free of parental care. They came to Ibiza to party and do it with all their heart. Russian clubbers are usually ironic about the action raging here, so they drop in here as if on an excursion, but only a few stay all night. But a huge advantage of Eden is its quite good location in the resort town of San Antonio, which attracts the club’s target audience with fairly affordable prices for hotel accommodation. In general, if you are young and plan to rock from dusk to dawn with a bunch of peers – the doors of Eden are open for you, just keep in mind that despite all of the above, the Eden club has a rather strict dress control, so do not expect to get there in shorts and T-shirts . The entrance fee varies from 20 to 50 euros depending on the party. Address: Salvador Espiriu, San Antonio de Portmany <h3> Es Paradis </h3> In the ranking of Ibiza’s super clubs, Es Paradis unfortunately occupies the last lines.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> As we said earlier, it is located side by side with the Eden Club in the center of San Antonio and suffers from the same disease: the exceptionally young age of the visitors and their noisy, obnoxious and not always pleasant manners. Sophisticated clubbers have nothing to do there frankly. Initially, the Es Paradis nightclub was conceived as an open-air format, and thanks to the colonnade reminiscent of ancient temples, it was a favorite place for holding fashion shows and filming glamorous clips. But since 1990, when the building had to be covered with a 120-ton pyramid, the zest disappeared somewhere along with its former brilliance. But still, one feature has been preserved for more than 30 years – these are the legendary Fiesta Del Agua water parties, where hits from different years sound, and by morning, real fountains start to beat from the walls and floor, turning the club into a real pool. But at the same time, entrance in bathing suits to the disco is prohibited, so many take them with them or put them on under ordinary clothes, which they then take off.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The entrance fee to the club is 30-40 euros, drinks – 10-12 euros. Address: Salvador Espriu 2, Sant Antoni De Portmany Thanks to countless nightclubs, Ibiza has long become a reference youth resort, where like a magnet it attracts clubbers from all over the world.

With its 708 square kilometres, an elevation of 2.426m and its shape of a heart it is the most Western island of the Canary Island chain.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Like every island in this archipelago, La Palma was created by volcanic activity. It is one of the youngest of the seven islands, dating back some 1.7 million years. The volcanic origin of La Palma is still clearly recognizable today, especially the southern part of the island with the dormant volcano Teneguía which last erupted in 1971, and offers interesting insights into its geological past. The year-round mild climate with average temperatures between 18 and 27 degrees Celsius produce spring-summerlike weather as a result of the northeast trade winds. This weather phenomenon is responsible for a pleasant subtropical climate and a rich green vegetation that prevails because of the humidity carried along in the trade winds. These moisture rich winds at certain times of the year also create a spectacular waterfall of clouds cascading down the central mountain faces and hence the nicknames Isla Verde – Green Island and Isla Bonita – Beautiful Island. The unique geological structure of the island with its variety of vegetation zones and microclimates that are rarely found in the world on such a small area make this island a miniature universe.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/99/fb/ff/99fbfff2f3c2c9ebeb460803297c0540.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/99/fb/ff/99fbfff2f3c2c9ebeb460803297c0540.jpg' /></noscript> Each area of the island varies completely from another. In 1983 La Palma was declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Another special feature of La Palma is the unique night sky. Due to its location in the Atlantic Ocean, sparse population, minimum light pollution and highest mountain peak Roque de los Muchachos 2.426m, the island was chosen as the location for one of the largest and modern observatories in the world. The official population of the island is approximately 80,000 people. Traditional festivals such as the Bajada de la Virgen or Los Indianos carnival, famous far beyond the island’s borders, bear witness to the zest for life of the local people (Palmeros). Not only the geographical location, but also the numerous immigrants from Central and South America show a variety of Hispanic influences in island life, cuisine and cultural. La Palma offers the perfect combination of originality and natural beauty for people who want to relax.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/jigidi-images.s3.amazonaws.com/puzzles/LV2R10HD0A6XJATH.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/jigidi-images.s3.amazonaws.com/puzzles/LV2R10HD0A6XJATH.jpg' /></noscript> In almost every season of the year you can find a deserted beach, an untouched bay or a lonely hiking trail. With a café con leche in one of the numerous bars you can devote yourself completely to the moment and let yourself be infected by the relaxed canarian way of life – time to chill-out! The island has still retained its charm and tranquillity – a soothing experience in our modern and sometimes hectic world. An island of peace and quiet but still full of energy. Let yourself be enchanted – let this special experience take effect on you. It will change you – we call it the La Palma effect! The clear night sky of La Palma is one of the most impressive in the world. Due to its remote location in the Atlantic Ocean, the sparse population and a special law against so-called light pollution, the sky and the stars appear even clearer and more numerous than in most other places on earth. A picnic on a full moon night on a secluded beach, in front of you only the silver reflecting expanse of the Atlantic – an unforgettable experience.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/static.1tv.ru/uploads/video/material/splash/2021/09/22/683100/big/683100_big_a5283a9d91.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/static.1tv.ru/uploads/video/material/splash/2021/09/22/683100/big/683100_big_a5283a9d91.jpg' /></noscript> Enjoying the sunset in the private pool of your holiday home with a glass of champagne is perhaps the most pleasant way to end an eventful day. Having a candlelight dinner, a glass of wine and tasty local specialities in one of the many excellent restaurants – that‘s pure holiday feeling with the right touch of romance! Start making plans for your return. Due to its diversity and its varied excursion possibilities, La Palma is an ideal destination for families. It doesn’t matter if you are competing in sandcastle building on a beach day, watching dolphins and whales in their natural habitat on a boat trip or getting an insight into the secrets of the universe on a visit to the observatory, boredom is a foreign word on the island! In the well-equipped visitor centers, young and old guests can learn about the volcanic past of La Palma, its flora and fauna and its vast interconnected hiking trail system. La Palma offers a variety of interesting indoor activities like a visit to one of its many museums: Natural History, Silk, Cigar, Banana, Volcano, Maritime.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/spaintrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Kak-dobratsya-do-La-Palmy-s-Kanarskih-ostrovov-i-iz-Evropy.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/spaintrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Kak-dobratsya-do-La-Palmy-s-Kanarskih-ostrovov-i-iz-Evropy.jpg' /></noscript> Another rewarding excursion destination is Puerto Naos: the ecological banana finca Platanologico,where you can learn about the natural cultivation of this popular fruit and where children can get in touch with farm animals like sheep, goats, donkeys, peacocks. The extraordinary natural beauty of La Palma makes it an island full of surprises. Due to the different vegetation and climate zones there is a richness of species in the flora that is unequalled. Numerous plants are endemic, which means that they only grow here on La Palma. About a third of the island at higher elevation is covered by forests consisting of pine, laurel and chestnut. The Canary pine with its up to 30 cm long needles also has an important role in the water balance of the island. The humidity of the trade wind clouds condenses on their needles producing a continuous drip that adds to the islands water reserves even when it‘s not raining. Also unique are the laurel rain forests, such as the one in Los Tilos, which grow on the side of the island facing the trade winds.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dbv7r6-Fgds/YUSJsVmDDHI/AAAAAAAAGj4/4GACAPM8Mqwz6EHtQkmyEYqfaB3y3NJQwCPcBGAYYCw/s837/Teneguia%2Bvolcano%2Bon%2BCanary%2BIsland%2Bof%2BLa%2BPalma.jpg.png" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dbv7r6-Fgds/YUSJsVmDDHI/AAAAAAAAGj4/4GACAPM8Mqwz6EHtQkmyEYqfaB3y3NJQwCPcBGAYYCw/s837/Teneguia%2Bvolcano%2Bon%2BCanary%2BIsland%2Bof%2BLa%2BPalma.jpg.png' /></noscript> The typical dragon trees of the Canary Islands grow up to 20 m high and can reach an age of several hundred years. The fertile volcanic soil and the mild climate allow the year-round cultivation of almost all known fruits and vegetables. The weekly fruit and vegetable markets thus offer a rich variety. Wine-growing also benefits from the climatic conditions and the special terrain, especially the white wines of La Palma enjoy an excellent reputation and regularly win awards at international tastings. The maritime fauna is very diverse – dolphins, whales, turtles, manta rays and many more inhabit the waters around La Palma. The island is populated by geckos and lizards, the Graja – the endemic crow species is considered the unofficial heraldic animal of the island. Anyone who has ever heard the call of the yellow-billed shearwater bird will never forget it. <h2>La Palma volcano summary: 11 December 2021</h2> Droning over La Palma More footage taken this morning (at 8:30 am Canarian time, 2:30 am ET) from the Mirador de Las Hoyas.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9250/5429730.11e/0_8a982_2ef8b098_XL.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9250/5429730.11e/0_8a982_2ef8b098_XL.jpg' /></noscript> La Palma under 10 earthquakes The National Geographic Institute has registered just eight earthquakes in La Palma this morning. This shows seismic activity is very low and much reduced compared to recent weeks. Two of the tremors have exceeded a magnitude of 3, while the most powerful was 3.2 with an epicenter in Villa de Mazo, taking place at 5.21 a.m. local time at a depth of 36 kilometres. ‘Cumbre Vieja ain’t done yet’ caution volcano experts Experts from scientific organisations, such as the National Geographic Institute and the Spanish Geological and Mining Institute, have agreed in calling for caution regarding the volcanic eruption of La Palma. They have stated that since it is a process in nature it is one that can reverse without much notice, this news coming as we have seen a downward trend of energy in recent days. The scientists spoke to the media after participating in a carefully managed visit to the slopes of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/bussol.ru/way_sp/im/lapalma_t.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/bussol.ru/way_sp/im/lapalma_t.jpg' /></noscript> Volcanic morning What did you see when you opened the curtains this morning? I’m guessing it wasn’t something like this, unless you’re arising from your slumber in La Palma, of course! Dept. of National Security update on Cumbre Vieja eruption According to the latest update provided by Spain’s Department of National Security: – the Cumbre Vieja volcano continues to emit lava that is flowing over previous flows and is not affecting new areas of the surface of La Palma – the surface area affected by the lava flow continues to be estimated at 1,184 hectares, with a maximum width of 3,350 metres. – per figures provided by the EU’s Copernicus Earth observation programme, 3,046 buildings have been damaged by the lava flows – seismic activity remains low – emissions of sulphur dioxide continue to decrease – conditions are favourable for the operation of flights in and out of La Palma on Sunday Scientists call for caution with Cumbre Vieja waning Various scientists, including those at the National Geographic Institute and the Geological and Mining Institute are urging caution with the situation on La Palma after speculation that Cumbre Vieja could be running out of steam.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cameralabs.org/media/camera/effekt-obzora/july/palma_dubai.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cameralabs.org/media/camera/effekt-obzora/july/palma_dubai.jpg' /></noscript> They aregue that the volcano’s reduction in activity is a natural process which could completely change in the next few days. PEVOLCA’S Jorge Parra explained, “Work on the new motorway which is being built to connect Las Norias and Puerto Naos has had to stop due to a large emission of gases,” adding that the road is also under threat from lava streams on the south side of the volcano. Cumbre Vieja in numbers 7,000 people have been evacuated from their homes since the 19 September eruption with 1,173 hectares of land on the island affected and damages of more than 900 million euro experienced since September. Seven quakes recorded overnight Only seven minor earth quakes were recorded on the island of La Palma from Friday through to Saturday morning and this keeps with the trend of diminishing seismic overnight activity on the island.

The last eruption on the island occurred in 1971 when a relatively diminutive outburst lasting about a month caused damage to roads, banana crops, and some homes in the southern portion of the island and led to the tragic loss of two lives. James Day in respirator and safety gear near a lava flow. The 2021 eruption, by contrast, has lasted 45 days so far, is the largest on record for La Palma, and has consumed whole towns and more than 2,500 homes. Most remarkably and happily, there has not been a single loss of life. The 2021 eruption is also one of the best-monitored basaltic eruptions of all time, offering lessons and insight into how to manage volcanic risk, as well as how eruptions take place and why volcanism occurs in ocean islands like La Palma. On the Canary Islands, a range of governmental bodies maintain seismic stations as well as monitor gases emanating from the volcanoes to provide precursor information on likely eruptions.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/08/a6/a3/08a6a32050fef22489d3e7846f34b962--holiday-places-la-palma-canary-islands.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/08/a6/a3/08a6a32050fef22489d3e7846f34b962--holiday-places-la-palma-canary-islands.jpg' /></noscript> When reports of minor tremors occurring beneath La Palma appeared in the news in early September 2021, I was intrigued. In 2011, there had been a significant seismic crisis and eruptive event offshore of the neighboring southerly island of El Hierro. There had also been plenty of small seismic events under La Palma in the past without a volcanic eruption. Despite these “false starts,” something about the September 2021 events felt different. To me, having researched a major part of my PhD dissertation on La Palma and El Hierro in the early 2000s, I feel a strong connection with the islands, their incredible geology, mesmerizing landscapes, and wonderful people. The observations from the seismic data suggested not just a rumbling beneath the Cumbre Vieja, but a sense that the volcano was about to burst into life once more. At 15:12 local time on Sept. 19 the ground was wrenched apart beneath a region of the Cumbre Vieja known as the Cabeza de Vaca, and molten rock was expelled to the surface.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/cBT9Gc1fwsM/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/cBT9Gc1fwsM/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> Preceding this event, geophysicists had noticed that tremors occurring roughly 25 miles beneath the volcano had migrated both upwards and northwestwards, first to about seven miles depth and then, roughly five hours before the eruption, a major seismic rupture occurred just beneath the Cabeza de Vaca region. Remarkably, authorities on the island had already begun a major mobilization and evacuation of people so that when the lavas and incandescent lava fountains eventually poured forth from the broken Earth, no one was in harm’s way. The authorities, consulted by a body of experts known as PEVOLCA (Plan de Emergencias Volcánicas de Canarias), have done a remarkable job of preventing loss of life and minimizing damage to property. After the initial ash had settled on La Palma, I joined a group of volcanologists and geochemists invited to investigate and observe the 2021 eruption. Our team, made up of volcanology experts from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of Gran Canaria Las Palmas, the University of Barcelona, Cornell University, Uppsala University (Sweden) and Freiburg University (Germany), seeks to understand both the inner workings of the earth and how volcanism occurs on ocean islands, as well as the hazards associated with basaltic volcanism.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/E-mgr7_1ipk/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/E-mgr7_1ipk/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> Studying basaltic volcanism is important for many reasons. Basaltic volcanoes are the most prevalent on Earth, with much of the ocean floor covered in this dark rock. The magmas that make basaltic volcanoes tend to come from direct melting of the Earth’s interior and so tell us about the inner workings of the earth. Basaltic rocks have not undergone very much crystallization of minerals, leading to generally lower viscosity and more fluid magmas that are poorer in water than magmas that form arc volcanoes like those in the Andes or the Cascades. This means generally less explosive volcanism and an opportunity to get close to the volcano to understand how it operates. A geologist’s hammer held next to the exposed glowing core of a spallation bomb. Our investigations began by studying the lava fountains and deposits of volcanic material that fall to the ground as sand to small pebble-sized particles known as volcanic tephra. These deposits are important for retrieving a history of volcanic eruptions.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ccdn.cz/acm/17/501612/l47.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ccdn.cz/acm/17/501612/l47.jpg' /></noscript> On La Palma, with both detailed observations of wind direction, seismic evidence and the ability to collect tephra from underneath the eruption plume, we will be able to piece together both the workings of the volcano, but also provide information on how historical volcanic eruptions might be better understood. A particularly important observation that we made was that of fast-moving red-hot “spallation bombs” that were ejected from the volcano and fell first ballistically and then by gravity. We are also interested in the lavas erupting from the volcano. The lava flows from the volcano have been extensive, covering towns and vast swaths of land covered in banana plantations on the island. While we might refer to dark volcanic rocks as “basaltic,” there are many varieties of basalt. The 2021 La Palma eruption has produced two of these different varieties, the first rich in a water-rich mineral called ‘amphibole’ and the second richer in olivine (the gem quality variety of which is known as peridot).<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/lacentenaria.com/images/LaPalma(mapa).jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/lacentenaria.com/images/LaPalma(mapa).jpg' /></noscript> We will be examining these rocks to understand how the volcanism changed and to link this with the geophysics that provides a geological ‘CAT-scan’ of the shallow interior beneath La Palma. My experience on La Palma has personally been rewarding, but for the people of La Palma, and those directly affected by the volcano, it has been an extremely challenging time. While no loss of human life has occurred, personal suffering has been exacerbated by the unpredictability of the volcano which has posed immense challenges for the authorities as they try to juggle safety with providing accurate information. By far the biggest challenge is predicting when the eruption will end. Historical eruptions on La Palma have lasted between one and three months. On the other hand, no prior historical eruption has been as big as the 2021 event. So, perhaps the eruption will end in a few weeks, but perhaps not. The event may be unprecedented. Another challenge is communication. Anxiety surrounding the eruption for individuals comes in many guises, from being forced to abandon pets, not having insurance or property deeds, or simply not speaking the language.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ilkha.com/files/news/default/2021/10/12/cumbre-vieja-yanardagi-ndan-asagi-inen-lavlar-nedeniyle-halk-tahliye-ediliyor1634050282.jpg?v=" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ilkha.com/files/news/default/2021/10/12/cumbre-vieja-yanardagi-ndan-asagi-inen-lavlar-nedeniyle-halk-tahliye-ediliyor1634050282.jpg?v=' /></noscript> La Palma is a wonderful tourist destination and a significant fraction of the individuals affected by the eruption are retirees who do not speak Spanish. Communication with the entire population is an important lesson in continuing to manage the eruption. The silver lining of the dark eruption cloud for La Palma is the potential for investment that should follow the eruption. The people of La Palma should be allowed to capitalize on the incredible volcanic landscape produced by the 2021 eruption to draw tourists who wish to see the remains of this incredible natural spectacle. La Palma is a wonderful island to visit, rich in landscapes, culture and excellent cuisine. I will certainly be back. Let me know if you’d like to go; I would be happy to tag along!

They must also keep any new volcanic activity in check. “Despite unleashing so much destruction, the volcano has created opportunities and tourism is one of them,” says Mariano Hernandez Zapata, head of the island’s government. Iceland and Hawaii saw a similar increase in visitors after they experienced volcanic eruptions.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/ali_ben_saef/85113158/964922/964922_800.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/ali_ben_saef/85113158/964922/964922_800.jpg' /></noscript> The number of cruise ships stopping at the island has increased for example, Zapata says, and bringing in more tourists could help La Palma diversify from agriculture. Spain’s government announced last week a 9.5-million-euro ($10.85 million) plan to promote tourism to La Palma after arrivals more than halved in the last four months of 2021. “The volcano has to return to this island and its residents what it took from them,” says Sergio Rodriguez, mayor of El Paso, one of the most ravaged towns with areas engulfed by endless mounds of ash and fractured by jagged lava streams. He is upbeat about potential projects seeking to exploit the eruption – volcano trails, a science-focused convention centre or a cable car overlooking devastated areas. <h3 data-testid="Heading">PHOTOS BY THE ASH</h3> Business is already booming for tour company Get Holidays, which runs an 11-hour trip around the volcano for tourists from the nearby island of Tenerife at 125 euros per adult.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/8c/17/ef8c175ae9dc04891e54a8864d0d61b3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/8c/17/ef8c175ae9dc04891e54a8864d0d61b3.jpg' /></noscript> A year ago, around 30 people a week would arrive at La Palma from Tenerife for a general tour.

It just erupted—I can’t believe it!” the reporter yelled into the camera. In the weeks leading up to that fateful September day, a swarm of earthquakes had rattled the neighboring island of La Palma, hinting at the movement of magma under the surface. Rodríguez, who was born and raised in La Palma, was preparing for a trip to photograph scientists as they monitored the island’s volcanoes, which had slumbered for the past 50 years. And then one roared awake. Rodriguez rushed out of the shower to change his flight and made it to the island a few hours later. That night, he snapped photos as fountains of lava shot from the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge, casting an eerie glow over nearby towns. The volcano’s roar filled his ears, like waves crashing on a cliff.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/english.cdn.zeenews.com/sites/default/files/2021/09/19/972057-2021-09-19t133755z1lynxmpeh8i060rtroptp4spain-volcano.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/english.cdn.zeenews.com/sites/default/files/2021/09/19/972057-2021-09-19t133755z1lynxmpeh8i060rtroptp4spain-volcano.jpg' /></noscript> Glassy shards of ash rained from the skies, and the scent of spoiled eggs permeated the air. “I never dreamed about being so close to something like this,” he says. “It’s so big, so powerful.” So far, the ongoing eruption has destroyed more than 2,500 buildings and displaced thousands of people. Ash has fallen in thick layers, collapsing roofs and burying agricultural lands—and the lava has paved over everything in its path. “This monster erupted in the middle of the most populated area,” Rodríguez says. “I can feel the pain of all the people here.” That pain became particularly acute when Rodríguez spotted his cousin among crowds of people he was photographing as they packed up to flee the encroaching lava. He put down his camera and rushed to help his cousin hastily pack belongings in boxes. Now, two months after the first glowing lava emerged, the volcano continues its fiery blasts, and Rodríguez fears for his home island’s future. The economy depends in large part on banana farming, but hundreds of acres of land once used to grow bananas have become entombed in lava.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/kiri2ll/55258202/3554069/3554069_900.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/kiri2ll/55258202/3554069/3554069_900.jpg' /></noscript> Many of the banana trees that have survived are covered in ash that mars the fruits’ skin, which makes it impossible for farmers to export their crops. Some people are now moving away, their homes and livelihoods buried in rock. The years ahead remain uncertain, Rodríguez says. “It’s going to be rough for the island.” Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Please be respectful of copyright.

On the coast, the temperature rarely falls below 20° C and does not often rise above 28°. While on the top of the Roque de los Muchachos you can sometimes find snow in the winter. In the higher areas the temperature varies somewhat more, the winter evenings and nights are fresher here. However, when there is ‘calima’, a warm desert wind from the Sahara, which brings dust into the air and high temperatures with it, then it is warmest in the higher areas of La Palma.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/750x445/868419.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/750x445/868419.jpg' /></noscript> In that case the temperature can rise to above 30°C there. This is (fortunately) only occasionally the case. The temperature of the seawater is around 24°C in summer and decreases to 19°C in February. So you can swim in the ocean all year round! <h3> </h3> <h3>La Palma is the most north western island of </h3> the Canary archipelago.</h3> The island is 42 kilometres long and 24 kilometres wide. And the highest point of the island is the Roque de los Muchachos at 2450 meters altitude. Because of the large differences in height on a relatively small surface, La Palma has a large diversity in landscape. If you go from sea level to the highest peak, you will cross 5 climate zones. Each with its own characteristics and vegetation. <h3></h3> Beautiful nature</h3> Wide valleys, pine and laurel forests, rugged barracks (gorges), volcanic landscapes, the beautiful erosion crater Caldera de Taburiente, waterfalls and banana plantations alternate.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/smarttripweather.com/img/instaphoto-small/La-Palma.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/smarttripweather.com/img/instaphoto-small/La-Palma.jpg' /></noscript> There is a big contrast between the rugged, green north and the dry south with its lunar landscape. As well as between the sunny west coast and the east side due to the trade winds. And of course, everywhere you look: the largest swimming pool in the world, the Atlantic Ocean. <h3> </h3> <h3>La Palma, la Isla Bonita, the beautiful island.</h3> <h3></h3> Diversity</h3> La Palma has wonderful beaches and boulevards. On the west coast, including in Tazacorte, Puerto Naos and Charco Verde. And in the east in Los Cancajos and Santa Cruz. Visit the lively towns with crowded terraces and markets. And do not forget the authentic villages where time has stood still. There are also several museums, some endearingly small. <h3></h3> Small scale</h3> There is no mass tourism on La Palma, there are no high-rise buildings and there are no crowded beaches. That is precisely why we have fallen for La Palma.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/canar.ru/gc-05.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/canar.ru/gc-05.jpg' /></noscript> You will find peace and small scale, individual tourism. On La Palma, the pure and authentic island feeling prevails. <h3>Some activities on La Palma</h3> <h4>Hiking</h4> With more than 1,000 km of marked trails, La Palma can rightly be called a hiking paradise. Hikes have been set out all over the island, often on the ancient royal paths, the ‘caminos reales’. So the possibilities are endless. Across the island run the GR130 and the GR131. The GR130 is 160 km long, goes around the whole island and connects all villages. A folder with many hiking routes is available for our guests. It is also possible to make organized walks under the guidance of a guide. <h4>Mountain biking</h4> La Palma is a wonderful place for mountain bikers. The island offers an amazing variety of landscapes. And beautiful mountain bike trails run through all these landscapes. One moment you cycle through green pine forests, a little later on black lava fields. Always spectacularly to do.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/static1.canarias7.es/www/multimedia/202109/16/media/cortadas/cumbreviejaholaok-kVOI--984x468@Canarias7.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/static1.canarias7.es/www/multimedia/202109/16/media/cortadas/cumbreviejaholaok-kVOI--984x468@Canarias7.jpg' /></noscript> A completely different experience than mountain biking in the flat countries like Holland and Belgium. There are several good rental places for mountain bikes, including electric ones. In particular, the downhill routes are popular. You are dropped off at a high point so that you (almost) only have to ride downhill. Bike ‘n’ Fun and Magic Bike, are good examples of rental shops, both in Los Llanos de Aridane. <h4>Diving, snorkelling, dolphin and whale watching</h4> We actually live on the top of the volcano here. Because La Palma continues for another 3 km under the sea level. Here too you can discover all sorts of things. The coastline of La Palma is full of beautifully coloured fish. Which makes snorkelling or diving a fantastic experience. There is a Dutch diving school called Casa de Buceo, on La Palma, in Los Llanos de Aridane. Also there are dolphins and whales around La Palma. From the port of Tazacorte several boat excursions can be made to spot these animals. Varying from a few hours to a full-day programme.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/costa-news.com/wp-content/uploads/volcano-ash-696x928.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/costa-news.com/wp-content/uploads/volcano-ash-696x928.jpg' /></noscript> <h4>Beaches</h4> La Palma does not have miles of sandy beaches like on Gran Canaria and Tenerife. But there are several beautiful black lava beaches on the island. Most famous are the beaches of Tazacorte, Puerto Naos and Charco Verde on the west side of the island. And Los Cancajos and Santa Cruz on the east side. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented on most beaches. Of course there are kiosks on the beach where you can have a drink. Tazacorte and Puerto Naos have a pleasant boulevard. <h3>Explore La Palma, some tips</h3> <h4>Caldera de Taburiente</h4> National park Caldera de Taburiente is superb. It is one of the largest erosion craters in the world. With a diameter of more than 8 km and impressive, perpendicular walls of 2000 meters. Here, water flows underneath. The Caldera can be admired from above from the Roque de los Muchachos. But also from the mirador at the Cumbrecita. And via a walk along the riverbed from the Barranco de las Angustias. <h4>The north</h4> In the north of La Palma you can imagine yourself at the end of the world.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/starvisionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/tagreuters.com2021binary_LYNXMPEH8I08F-BASEIMAGE.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/starvisionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/tagreuters.com2021binary_LYNXMPEH8I08F-BASEIMAGE.jpg' /></noscript> The beautiful landscape is scattered with valleys and remote villages. Such as Franceses, La Tosca, Gallega, El Tablado and Roque Faro. And there are rugged cliffs. The rocky coast goes straight into the ocean here and time seems to have stood still. For hikers, the north of La Palma is a Mecca. You will also find the beautiful Dragon trees (Dragos) here as well as in the northwest of La Palma. <h4>The northwest</h4> In the northwest of La Palma, the valleys are overgrown with a wide variety of plants and flowers. And there are fields and vineyards scattered across the landscape. Here lies, among others, the idyllic-romantic village of Las Tricias. In the flowerpower era many hippies have settled down here and stayed, Furthermore you will find the tranquil Puntagorda and friendly Tijarafe in the northwest. There are numerous viewpoints and wonderful hiking routes. You will also find the beautiful Dragon trees (Dragos) here as well as in the north of La Palma. <h4>The volcanic south</h4> The south of La Palma is covered with a chain of volcanoes, the Cumbre Nueva and the Cumbre Vieja.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/df/2d/0ddf2d12c0bf98533d3e62675a900183.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/df/2d/0ddf2d12c0bf98533d3e62675a900183.jpg' /></noscript> They run like the backbone (of vertebrae) over the island. Here, you will find ancient volcanoes covered with pine forests. But also very young volcanoes, the last of which erupted in 1949 (volcano San Juan) and in 1971 (volcano Teneguia). The north of La Palma is declared dead, volcanically spoken. But the south is one of the most active volcanic areas in the world. You can walk the impressive volcano route from Refugio El Pilar to the lighthouse of Funcaliente. Which passes through a unique volcanic landscape. Or climb a single volcano or view above and underground lava tunnels. In the extreme south you will find in Los Canarios/Funcaliente, the visitor center on the San Antonio volcano. And on the coast; the salt fields, the ‘Salinas’ of La Palma. <h4>The capital Santa Cruz</h4> Santa Cruz is a photogenic, picturesque little town on the east coast of La Palma. It has a natural harbour and a large beach. Santa Cruz de La Palma was an important port city once, but that time is far behind us.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/zequ.aussievitamin.com/qa-https-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/4/43/20050520093348%21Caldera_de_Taburiente_La_Palma.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/zequ.aussievitamin.com/qa-https-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/4/43/20050520093348%21Caldera_de_Taburiente_La_Palma.jpg' /></noscript> However, there are still many colonial houses and squares that date from that time. Where Los Llanos today is the economic heart, Santa Cruz is the administrative and cultural heart of the island. The city is definitely worth a visit. <h4>The Aridane valley</h4> Centrally located on the sunny west side of La Palma lies the valley of Aridane. This area is relatively flat. It stretches from the mountains of the Cumbre Nueva up to the coastal strip from Tazacorte to El Remo. At the Cumbre Nueva, the ‘cascade of clouds’ can often be seen above El Paso. In the valley, many villages, banana plantations, lava flows and the Caldera de Taburiente national park can be found. And of course the town of Los Llanos de Aridane, the economic heart of the west side of La Palma. Despite that it is the economic heart, Los Llanos has kept his relaxed, friendly character. It is lovely to relax on the terraces on the Plaza de España under the beautiful old laurel trees. <h4>Roque de los Muchachos</h4> The highest point of the island is the Roque de los Muchachos, with a height of 2450 meters.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/xlapalma.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/DSC_0056-600x600.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/xlapalma.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/DSC_0056-600x600.jpg' /></noscript> From here you have a beautiful view of the Caldera and the Aridane valley. As well as of the Cumbre Nueva and Cumbre Vieja volcanoes. And the surrounding islands of Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro. La Palma has a very clear and clean air. That is why there are several observatories with enormous telescopes to study the universe here. <h4>Laurel forests Los Tilos/La Zarza</h4> In the northeast and north of the island lies the ‘jungle’ of Europe. With moist and green laurel forests, ferns and mosses. Via various hiking trails in Los Tilos (northeast) and La Zarza (north), you can discover these beautiful forests. In La Zarza, there is also a museum. <h2> Palm trees, variety of species. Growing at home. Photo — Botanichka </h2> Without plants, any room seems dull and lifeless. Plants bring life, create an atmosphere and are more than just a room decoration, because they create a completely different, completely new dimension and beauty in the room. Palm trees are not the only elements of interior decoration, but, first of all, they are living organisms that require certain conditions for their maintenance.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/volare.avrora-y.ru/img/kruize_300116/PA0684-hr.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/volare.avrora-y.ru/img/kruize_300116/PA0684-hr.jpg' /></noscript> For their life and development, they need light, water, warmth and nutrition, and all these elements in certain proportions. About the types of palms and the features of caring for them – our article. Indoor palm. © landmarkafterdark Contents: <ul> <li> General tips for growing palm trees at home </li> <li> House palm species </li> </ul> <h3> General tips for growing palm trees at home </h3> <h4> Propagation and transplanting </h4> Palm trees are propagated by sowing freshly harvested seeds, and some species by offspring. Seeds germinate at 25-35°C. They are sown in pots with a mixture of sand or moss with sawdust. A thick drainage layer is placed at the bottom of the pots, to which pieces of charcoal are added. Seed germination time depends on the species and can last from several days to several months. For example, Pritchardia seeds germinate 9-12 days, date palm – 30-50 days, chamerops – 45-60, coconut – 150-180 days. Transplant palm trees in the spring before they begin to grow.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/49e/1024_768_1/49e06ffe616252c24c59fbf02ec307d7.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/49e/1024_768_1/49e06ffe616252c24c59fbf02ec307d7.jpg' /></noscript> Young plants are transshipped annually, old ones – after 3-4 years. When transplanting, the roots should not be damaged (cut roots almost always die off at room conditions), but rotten roots must be removed by cutting with a sharp knife to healthy tissue. The earth must be compacted after planting. In some palm trees (date palm, kentia), the main roots rise very high from the ground, so special high and narrow pots or boxes are used for their deeper planting. To protect the roots protruding from the ground from drying out, they are covered with moss. Young plants are planted in lighter soil – a mixture of 2 parts of leaf and 1 part of humus with the addition of sand (about 1/6 of the total volume of the mixture). During subsequent transplants, heavy soddy soil and large, horny chips are added to this mixture at the rate of 3-4 kg per 1 m³ of land. <h4> Temperature regime </h4> In winter, heat-loving palms are kept at +14…+16°С, the rest — at +8…+10°С. To enhance growth in the spring-summer period, fertilizing with organic fertilizers is used.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/slideplayer.com/slide/13930338/85/images/25/Likely+position+of+head+scar+following+slope+failure.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/slideplayer.com/slide/13930338/85/images/25/Likely+position+of+head+scar+following+slope+failure.jpg' /></noscript> <h4> Lighting </h4> Palm trees are very light-loving, and therefore they are placed as close as possible to the windows (as far as the leaves allow). In the summer, they are shaded from direct sunlight (light curtains), otherwise burns appear on the leaves. <h4> Ventilation </h4> When ventilating the rooms in winter, make sure that the plants do not freeze. Drafts should not be allowed. The optimum temperature for growth is + 16 … + 18 ° С, at a higher temperature the air in the room becomes drier, and the tips of the leaves dry up on palm trees. To prevent this phenomenon, in addition to maintaining a moderate temperature, plants often wash and spray their leaves with water. The dried ends of the leaves are cut off without affecting healthy tissue. The entire leaf, when dried or aged, is cut off only when the petiole turns yellow. Palm tree can decorate any interior. © lolesinmo <h4> Watering </h4> On sunny summer days, palm trees are watered abundantly so that there is always water in the pan, but before each new watering, stagnant water is drained from the pans.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/178/1024_768_1/1787a71dbdf6e916e63d33ac8326d124.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/178/1024_768_1/1787a71dbdf6e916e63d33ac8326d124.jpg' /></noscript> It is advisable to always water with warm water (about + 20 … + 30 ° С). For better growth in summer, in the morning or evening, the leaves are strongly sprayed; in winter, they are wiped 2 times a month with a soft sponge dipped in warm water, and at first it is better to wash with a mild soapy solution. Date palms, chamerops and pritchardia for the summer can be taken out to the balcony or garden, in the open air. More tender palm trees (kentiy and patching) are shaded.

Brachea is well suited for growing at home – it is unpretentious and will not die if you forget to water it. It also tolerates relatively low temperatures. To propagate this palm, you need to collect the seeds that appear in the inflorescences and plant them. They germinate for a long time – several months. <h4> Butia capitata </h4> This is a large, slow growing, solitary palm with a strong, gray trunk and a free, elegantly curved crown of leaves.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/a3/4f/9a/a34f9a71e1d6424f0ed5d87f137efedb.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/a3/4f/9a/a34f9a71e1d6424f0ed5d87f137efedb.jpg' /></noscript> In nature, there are also fruiting specimens.

Although the optimal place for growing such plants in captivity is, of course, a winter garden. There are many types of palm trees that are often found in our apartments. Flower growers call such varieties – house palm trees, cultivating them as houseplants. Depending on the shape of the leaves, home palm trees are divided into two large groups: <ul> <li> Pinnate – these include coconut, dipsis, chamedorea, date, howe. </li> <li> Fan-leaved – palm trees, the leaves of which are similar in shape to the correct fan. This group includes chamerops, karyota, trachycarpus, etc. </li> </ul> <h3> How to care for indoor palms </h3> Usually, palm trees cultivated as indoor plants need a large area.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/80/cb/1d/80cb1d2140b4837b72504f2d6eb23151--canary-islands-vivo.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/80/cb/1d/80cb1d2140b4837b72504f2d6eb23151--canary-islands-vivo.jpg' /></noscript> It is advisable to place them in the living room or in the spacious hall. Even if the variety you grow is not too tall, the palm remains a solitary plant, all interference must be eliminated. Keep in mind that cats are often a big threat to house palms, as their leaves can be a welcome treat for pets. Indoor palm trees need minimal care, regular and timely watering, periodic feeding with nutrients, removing dust from the leaves. A certain difficulty can only be caused by a regular transplant, and then when the plant has already reached an impressive size. <h4> A native of the tropics needs light </h4> Palm trees need to be grown in a bright room, into which the sun’s rays freely penetrate all day. At the same time, oddly enough, tropical palms prefer bright light, but diffused. Not all of them love direct sunlight, most of them even need shading in the hottest period of spring and summer. It is necessary to protect plants from the sun from 11 o’clock to noon. For shading, it is enough to use light tulle, covering the window with a translucent curtain.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/jet2blog/production/_900x506_crop_center-center_none/iStock-155432076.jpg?mtime=20190103160256&focal=none" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/jet2blog/production/_900x506_crop_center-center_none/iStock-155432076.jpg?mtime=20190103160256&focal=none' /></noscript> But shading is needed only in the summer. From August until the onset of spring, palm trees are not afraid of the sun’s rays. Often palm trees are placed in the dark corners of the room, thus making a big mistake, since there are no indoor plants that would love the shade. There are only shade-tolerant ones. In addition, most palm trees have a fairly spreading crown, which requires uniform lighting. If this condition is not met, then the leaves will grow asymmetrically, which will worsen the decorative effect of the plant. So even a meter away from the window, it’s time to think about lighting the palm tree with artificial sources. Linear LED lamp UNIEL for seedlings and flowering 35W IP40 housing white <h4> Temperature rating </h4> It is different for tropical and subtropical palms. The first must be kept warm in winter, while the temperature should not fall below 16 ° C. But excessive heat is also not needed, 24 ° C should be the upper limit.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9113/20443547.7/0_b2271_f02153_XL.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9113/20443547.7/0_b2271_f02153_XL.jpg' /></noscript> But subtropical palms in winter are kept in rooms with a lower temperature, about 8-12 ° C. Palm trees of any variety do not like drafts, which adversely affect their development. Especially dangerous is the cold air that enters the room during winter ventilation, when both the window and the door are open at the same time. The root system of a palm tree is very sensitive to cold, so pots and planters in which they grow cannot be placed directly on a cold windowsill or marble tile floor. To avoid hypothermia of the root system, a pot with a palm tree growing in it is placed in a larger one or in a wooden barrel, and the space remaining between the walls is insulated by filling it with expanded clay or moss. Palm trees such as cariota, areca, coconut, acanthophenix, and chamedorea need warmth even in winter. They need a fairly high temperature and high humidity. Wintering in cool rooms should be chamerops, trachycarpus, washingtonia, etc. <h4> How to water palm trees </h4> All representatives of the palm family, including varieties that grow naturally in arid places, love moisture.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/dymontiger/54234047/49675318/49675318_original.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/dymontiger/54234047/49675318/49675318_original.jpg' /></noscript> In the summer they need to be watered almost every day, and plentifully. In winter, watering should be moderate. But only palm trees that grow in loose soil with a light texture and good drainage can be cared for in this way. The main rule that must be observed when watering is that until the next soil of the upper part of the pot, in which the palm tree grows, must have time to dry. Whereas in the depths, the soil mixture should always be slightly moist – not to be confused with damp! It is necessary to choose the frequency of watering, taking into account the air temperature in the room. For example, if a palm tree is kept in a cool room in winter at a temperature of only 5-7 ° C, watering should be carried out extremely rarely. It is enough once every one and a half or even 2 months, sometimes it can be completely replaced with light spraying. After watering, the soil in the pot should be periodically loosened. <h4> Humidity control </h4> Palm trees need a fairly high humidity, the optimum humidity level for them is 40-50%.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn.adventistworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/volcanic-eruption-on-spain-la-palma-hasnt-affected-the-adventist-church1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn.adventistworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/volcanic-eruption-on-spain-la-palma-hasnt-affected-the-adventist-church1.jpg' /></noscript> To ensure it, plants need to be sprayed regularly. This procedure is especially necessary on the hottest days of summer, but in winter – only if your home or office is intensively heated. Excessive dryness of the air can adversely affect the condition of the leaves: their ends will dry out, the plants will lose their decorative effect. You need to spray the palm carefully, directing the sprayer onto the leaf from both sides – both from the top and from the bottom. Humidifier SCARLETT SC-AH986M22 3.8l 300ml/h white In winter, in urban apartments, the humidity is about 20-25 percent. In such a situation, spraying becomes only a measure to reduce the criticality of the situation, while watering should not be increased against the usual volume of moisture for this season. The fact is that excessive moisture still does not compensate for the effect of dry air on the condition of the plant. Buying a humidifier can help. Or, at worst, you can hang wet sheets on the radiators.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-827U-RTnuUs/YUE37oLj1vI/AAAAAAAAhEc/EAPN-ZnF6qEzM6Ce4F9pybbw4F3jVTD1gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/28427.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-827U-RTnuUs/YUE37oLj1vI/AAAAAAAAhEc/EAPN-ZnF6qEzM6Ce4F9pybbw4F3jVTD1gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/28427.jpeg' /></noscript> If the palms are still small, then it would be good to place a container with them on a wide pallet filled with wet expanded clay or sphagnum. <h4> Proper transplantation of palm trees </h4> When planning a transplant, you need to prepare the optimal soil mixture to fill the new container for your plant. It should consist of two parts of humus-leaf soil, 2 parts of light clay-soddy soil, 1 part of peat, 1 part of sand, 1 part of completely rotted manure. All this must be mixed by adding a little charcoal to the mixture. Thus, the soil will turn out to be very nutritious, the plant will develop fully. If you take ordinary soil, for example, from a garden or garden plot, or another version of a poorer soil mixture, then it will be impossible to achieve the ideal state of the palm tree, its active development. Transplantation is carried out in the spring. Young palms that are not yet three years old require an annual transplant. If palm trees cross this line, then they can be replanted every 3-5 years.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/estaticos-cdn.prensaiberica.es/clip/c1406829-21bd-4109-9095-adcf27564c79_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/estaticos-cdn.prensaiberica.es/clip/c1406829-21bd-4109-9095-adcf27564c79_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg' /></noscript> These plants, like many others, do not like transplanting too much, but if it is done correctly, then the palm tree feels good. An important condition for a competent transplant is the choice of a suitable container for planting. The state of the root system of the palm tree will help determine the pot. If its roots grow in width, approaching the walls of the pot, then the next one must necessarily be of a larger diameter. If the growth of the roots is directed downward, then you can choose a pot of the same diameter as the previous one, but its height should be greater. If during the transplantation process you see that part of the plant’s roots are damaged or sick, they are removed, being careful not to damage nearby healthy tissues. Before transplanting palm trees into a pot, you need to place high-quality drainage and a pillow of 3-8 cm of compost. The thickness of the last layer depends on the age of the palm tree and the size of the pot. After that, the plant is placed in a new container and covered with prepared soil mixture.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/alrosa-hotels.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/image9-800x445.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/alrosa-hotels.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/image9-800x445.jpg' /></noscript> Immediately after transplanting, plants, even if they belong to the sun-loving group, should not be placed under direct sunlight. A couple of weeks after transplanting, watering the plant should be moderate. If your palm tree is already old enough and its roots protrude strongly from the pot, and transplantation is not yet planned, then they should be covered with wet moss on top. Since adult palm trees are rarely transplanted, while they actively consume nutrients and the soil in the pot becomes depleted, even if you regularly feed the plants in spring and summer, experts recommend removing the top layer of the earth every year, replacing it with fresh soil mixture or compost. Soil soil universal Zhivaya Zemlya 25l <h4> How and with what to fertilize palm trees </h4> Fertilizers should be used only during the growth period, and not during the dormant season. Palm trees are fed every 2-3 weeks, using fertilizers intended for decorative leafy plants.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/52/72/59/527259258a98fefd0fc53e68153e7105.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/52/72/59/527259258a98fefd0fc53e68153e7105.jpg' /></noscript> Before fertilizing, the earthen lump must be well moistened with water. For top dressing, you can use fertilizers such as Ideal, Giant, Uniflor-growth, etc. Palm trees are not fertilized in autumn or winter. Top dressing is also not carried out within 2 months after the palm tree is transplanted into a new soil mixture. <h4> Plant hygiene </h4> To protect the palm tree from attack by pests such as thrips, aphids and other species, each leaf must be regularly wiped with a damp sponge. If the plant is small, then it can be completely immersed with leaves in a warm solution of Persian chamomile or green soap. The leaves are kept in the solution for 30 minutes, then they are washed with warm water. In winter, palm trees, as we have said, need to be sprayed. In summer, they can be taken out into the rain or placed in the shower, if the size of the plant allows it. <h3> How palm trees are propagated </h3> You can try growing palm trees from seeds. This does not guarantee 100% success and not everyone succeeds.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/c.files.bbci.co.uk/11F04/production/_120667437_hi070813513.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/c.files.bbci.co.uk/11F04/production/_120667437_hi070813513.jpg' /></noscript> The fact is that the seeds of these plants lose their germination capacity in a short time. It takes about 20-30 days to germinate fresh seeds. If the seeds are already 3-4 years old, then, under the condition of soil heating, they germinate even later – this will take from 2 to 4 months. It is better to buy fresh seeds, and do it in serious flower shops. Before sowing, large-sized seeds with a hard shell are carefully filed without damaging the inside of the seed. If the seeds are small, and their shell is also hard, then you need to place the material for 3-4 days in warm water, the temperature of which should be approximately 35 °. The best time to sow seeds is late winter or early spring. Seeds should be soaked in warm water before sowing. Pots for seedlings are prepared small, not exceeding 15 cm in height. Otherwise, the roots of developing seedlings grow rapidly down. The bottom of the containers should have one or more holes so that excess moisture flows out through them after watering.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/viagallica.com/canaries/img/archipel_iles_canaries_-_informations_touristiques_005_(carte).jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/viagallica.com/canaries/img/archipel_iles_canaries_-_informations_touristiques_005_(carte).jpg' /></noscript> Each pot is supplied with drainage, after which it is filled with a soil mixture, which includes soddy soil, diluted with coarse sand in a ratio of one to three. A layer of 4 cm thick is poured over the soil mixture, consisting of pure river sand. Palm seeds are sown in it, deepening them by no more than 2-3 cm. There should be a distance of 3.5 cm between the seeds. From above, the soil is covered with a thin layer of moss, this allows you to maintain its wet state. Germinate seeds at a temperature of 22 ° C for subtropical palms, but if you have sown seeds of tropical varieties, the germination regime should be higher – 28-30 ° C. Watering seedlings should be carried out daily, the water temperature should be warm or room temperature. When the first leaf of germinated seedlings grows to 8 cm, small palms are transplanted into pots with a wider diameter of at least 9see. They need to be filled with a soil mixture, which includes 2 parts of humus, 2 parts of leafy and three parts of soddy soil, as well as 1 part of sand.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/98/3e/17/983e175f7f5f4911b48220dccc446274.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/98/3e/17/983e175f7f5f4911b48220dccc446274.jpg' /></noscript> Good drainage is preliminarily laid at the bottom of the pot. Too long roots of seedlings are not shortened, but simply folded in a spiral and covered with soil mixture. The rest of the seed should never be removed; it will nourish the young plant for some time. The soil after planting should be compacted and watered abundantly. <h2> Which palm trees grow in Sochi? – Blog allbriz.ru </h2> There is only one place in Russia with a predominantly humid subtropical climate. This is Greater Sochi and the immediate surroundings of the famous resort. Thanks to the mountain system and the sea, it is not too hot here in the summer months, when the air warms up to + 28.5–29.8 °C. In winter, severe frosts and chilly winds bypass this area. The city remains green even when it snows. <h3> Variety of palm trees in Sochi </h3> What kind of shrubs and trees can be found by resort guests on the streets, boulevards, squares and parks of Sochi. But still, in terms of the variety of species, not a single plant can be compared with local palm trees.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pegast-agent.ru/workdir/cities/551be8e6687c6551be8e667838la-palma2-file0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pegast-agent.ru/workdir/cities/551be8e6687c6551be8e667838la-palma2-file0.jpg' /></noscript> The city is decorated with nine of the most famous varieties (genera) of this tropical tree: <ul> <li> Liviston; </li> <li> Washington; </li> <li> sabal; </li> <li> Canarian date; </li> <li> chamerops; </li> <li> erythea; </li> <li> anniversary; </li> <li> butia; </li> <li> trachycarpus. </li> </ul> <h4> Livistona </h4> Very rarely, guests of the resort come across a round-leaved palm tree with a rather powerful columnar trunk, the height of which in those countries that are considered its homeland, reaches 20-30 meters. Of the 28 varieties of this tree, only one is found in Sochi – the Chinese one. Liviston usually grows in places with high humidity. The homeland of this palm is the countries of Polynesia and the states of Southeast and South Asia. <h4> Washingtonia </h4> The thick trunks of this tree and the fan leaves growing at the very top, consisting of 60–80 segments, immediately catch the eye of Sochi guests. The city is decorated with palm trees of two varieties of this genus: filamentous and powerful.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/36/34/cb/3634cbac62ebe24aa95a2855ccef32ea.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/36/34/cb/3634cbac62ebe24aa95a2855ccef32ea.jpg' /></noscript> On the territory of Mexico and in the southern states of the USA – the birthplace of Washingtonia – the height of a perfectly straight trunk can reach 80 meters. Despite its southern origin, the palm tree is resistant to short frosts – up to -12 ° C. <h4> Sabal </h4> Among the palms of this genus, tall and dwarf trees are distinguished. The trunk of the first can be from 12 to 30 meters, the second – only 2 m. The fan leaves of both genera of the sabal consist of 20–30 cm segments. The trunk of a bonsai grows underground and only partially comes out. Sabal is found in Latin American countries located north of Brazil, as well as in the south of the United States. Of the 16 varieties of this palm tree, several names grow in Greater Sochi: <ul> <li> elegant, </li> <li> Bahamian, </li> <li> conspicuous, </li> <li> shade, </li> <li> blackborn, </li> <li> small. </li> </ul> <h4> Canarian date </h4> According to biologists, there are 17 varieties of date palms in the world.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/upload.turkcewiki.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/LaPalmaCityHall.jpg/640px-LaPalmaCityHall.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/upload.turkcewiki.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/LaPalmaCityHall.jpg/640px-LaPalmaCityHall.jpg' /></noscript> One of its subspecies grows in Sochi – Canarian. The name of the rhinestone speaks of the homeland of the tree. As in the Spanish islands, wherever this palm is found, the soils are rich in groundwater. The Canarian date grows quite quickly. Most often there are 10-15-meter trees with long feathery leaves. Orange fruits, collected in large brushes hanging from the trunks, look rather unusual. <h4> Chamerops </h4> Bushy palms, which usually do not exceed three meters in height, are often called European. First of all, this is due to the place of their greatest distribution – the Mediterranean. It is the north of the African continent and the southern coast of the European mainland that are considered the birthplace of the branched chamerops. Usually a single trunk dominates a tree. Two subspecies of this palm tree grow in Sochi: graceful and squat. <h4> Erythea </h4> Another name for this palm is brahea (brachea). In Sochi, there are two of its subspecies: edible and armed.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/474x/c6/73/6f/c6736f48de218b86400fa78d76558073--palma-canary-islands.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/474x/c6/73/6f/c6736f48de218b86400fa78d76558073--palma-canary-islands.jpg' /></noscript> Because of the color of the fan-shaped leaves, the tree is often called the blue palm. Her decoration is one-meter inflorescences descending from the crown. Erythea is native to two North American states: Arizona and California. The tree grows slowly in dry soils next to cacti. <h4> Yubeya </h4> Tourists visiting Sochi often hear about the elephant tree. So because of the powerful trunk they call the jube. In the homeland of the palm of this species – in Chile – it has a different name. Because of the taste of the syrup obtained from the trunk, the Chilean jube is called the honey tree. It is this kind of palm that grows on the streets of Greater Sochi. The tree is resistant to cold and frost. Cases have been recorded when nothing happened to the Chilean jube even at -11 ° C, if this temperature did not last long. <h4> Butia </h4> Not very tall – usually 3-5 meters – palm trees of this species are common in Brazil. Despite their southern origin, they are cold resistant.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/E_0ZFyxUUBYYIMy.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/E_0ZFyxUUBYYIMy.jpg' /></noscript> Guests of the resort are immediately struck by the graceful curvature of their gray-green leaves. Connoisseurs advise trying jam made from butia fruits. It tastes like apricots. There are five subspecies of this tree in the city: <ul> <li> bonnet, </li> <li> hairy, </li> <li> yatai, </li> <li> cover, </li> <li> capitate. </li> </ul> <h4> Trachycarpus </h4> Biologists name six varieties of trachycarpus. In Sochi, Fortune is most often found. The plant spreads throughout the subtropical zones of the planet from Japan, Myanmar and China. It is these countries, as well as the Himalayas, that are considered the birthplace of trachycarpus.

There are a large number of indoor and decorative crops, most of which prefer living conditions that are close to natural. Sunlight and heat, high levels of humidity and frequent watering – a guarantee of beautiful flowering. Palm trees do not respond well to transplanting and changing climatic conditions. If you decide to have a tropical beauty at home, it is better to grow an adult plant from a cutting. Despite their appearance, from a botanical point of view, palms are not trees. Rather, they can be attributed to bamboo and banana. The plant has existed for more than 80 million years, but was brought to Europe only in the 18th century by Spanish missionaries. Indoor palm trees vary in shape and size.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/nemke.ru/assets/2015/01/ostrov_la_palma_2.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/nemke.ru/assets/2015/01/ostrov_la_palma_2.jpg' /></noscript> There are both decorative species and shrubs 3 m in height and above.

You can grow a palm tree at home for several years, and then plant it elsewhere. On average, indoor palms live from 40 to 70 years. Large indoor plants usually take pruning and bush formation normally, but if you cut the leaf plates of a palm tree, then it can die. Indoor palm trees do not coexist well with other plants and lose their decorative value in the “living corner”. The plant fits well into a simple interior and looks beautiful next to wicker furniture. <h4> Types of indoor palms </h4> There are several thousand different types of palms in nature today.

First you need to think about the most suitable place for a flower. Even if you don’t intend to put additional plants near the palm tree, it will need a lot of space, good lighting and humidity. It is important to choose a good substrate, water on time and know when to transplant. Try also to protect the tree from pets, cats are always willing to eat tropical beauty. <h4> Soil and pot selection </h4> Beginning growers often choose the “beautiful” pot and ignore the possible consequences. However, the flowerpot must be strong enough to support the considerable weight of the palm tree. Choose also light shades to protect the root system from overheating. There should be drainage at the bottom of the container so that the roots do not “sink” in the water. Each next pot should be about a third larger than the previous one. When choosing a soil, you can turn to a simple palm substrate in any flower shop.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/89a/1024_768_1/89a9fa4749fe41d830a6bb951fbb08d8.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tochka-mira.ru/upload/resize_cache/sprint.editor/89a/1024_768_1/89a9fa4749fe41d830a6bb951fbb08d8.jpg' /></noscript> You can try to make the substrate yourself, as long as it passes moisture and air well, is rich in nutrients and has neutral acidity. The usual recipe is 1 part sand, 1 part humus and 2 parts garden soil. A mixture of peat, dolomite flour, sod and leaf soil is suitable for older plants. <h4> Watering and humidity </h4> Irrigation water should preferably be rainwater or settled water. Purified water is also fine, but keep in mind that it contains few nutrients. Tap water is not recommended. Harmful substances and salts have a bad effect on the plant, which is why the soil layer will have to be changed once a year. In summer, the plant is watered more abundantly than in winter. When the top layer of the substrate dries out and the bottom layer is still slightly damp, you can water again. The frequency of watering varies depending on the species, so the mode can be adjusted based on the characteristics of the plant. Juicy leaves and good decorativeness cannot be achieved without high humidity.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/scantri.com/wp-content/uploads/foto_county/city_new_gallery/%D0%9B%D0%B0%20%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BC%D0%B0/15.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/scantri.com/wp-content/uploads/foto_county/city_new_gallery/%D0%9B%D0%B0%20%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BC%D0%B0/15.jpg' /></noscript> If the room is too dry, try placing a glass of water next to the plant or buy a humidifier. In summer, the leaves are sprayed with distilled water. <h4> Propagation </h4> Palm trees can be propagated by seeds, shoots and cuttings. Absolutely all types of palms are well propagated by seeds, this is the method preferred by most growers. Before planting, clean the seeds from the shell, put in water and put in a warm place (at least +30 degrees). Then it will be possible to plant the swollen seeds in plastic cups, containers and other containers for seedlings. The earth must be very nutritious, you can purchase a special nutrient soil mixture in the store. With the advent of the first sprout, cover the planting material with a film and take it out into the sun. Periodically, the greenhouse must be opened so that the air does not stagnate and infection does not occur. This is followed by a transplant to a permanent place in a pot. <h3> Caring for indoor palm trees </h3> Caring for the plant is easy.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/rbcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/home_01-800x600.png" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/rbcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/home_01-800x600.png' /></noscript> Most palm trees love bright sunlight, high humidity, and warmth. Under these conditions, the plant will regularly bloom and grow skyward. It is very important to remove dead leaves in time (but you can’t do pruning of live leaves), since leaving dry leaves on the stem, you risk harming the tropical beauty. <h4> Lighting and temperature </h4> The room where the palm tree is kept should be well lit. Bright and diffused light is what you need for healthy growth. In summer, when the sun is at its zenith, it is better to shade the plant a little. In winter, in mid-latitudes, shading is not required at all. A common mistake novice flower growers make is that they decorate the far corners of the room with wood. But without sunlight, the palm tree will slowly die. Therefore, it is recommended to organize additional lighting at a distance of 1 meter from the window. Tropical palms live at a temperature of +16-24 degrees, palms from the subtropics and some ornamental species can winter at a temperature of +8-12 degrees during the dormant period.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3xN6tc0wHI/Ws5Lu0GbhnI/AAAAAAAAFGQ/F7qm7C4PL3g52COI94EM-uivY3LTw-_4gCLcBGAs/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/La%2BPalma%2BVacation%2BPackages.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3xN6tc0wHI/Ws5Lu0GbhnI/AAAAAAAAFGQ/F7qm7C4PL3g52COI94EM-uivY3LTw-_4gCLcBGAs/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/La%2BPalma%2BVacation%2BPackages.jpg' /></noscript> Do not forget that the roots of the plant are very sensitive, so if there is no floor heating at home, put the plant pot on a stand or foam. The space between the walls of the pot and the roots for the winter can be filled with sphagnum moss or expanded clay. In summer, the temperature in our latitudes is considered habitable for most palms. <h4> Fertilization and hygiene </h4> Special additives for ornamental plants and palm trees are suitable as fertilizer. Fertilize the crop only during the active growing season; in winter, all top dressing should be stopped. Fertilizers are applied after watering, when the entire earthen ball is saturated with water. The first two weeks after transplantation, it is undesirable to feed the plant – this is too much stress for him. Indoor palms need regular spraying to prevent pests. Some advise wiping the leaves with chamomile or soapy water. The plant quickly consumes nutrients from the substrate, so the annual replacement of the topsoil will definitely not be superfluous.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f7/fe/9c/f7fe9c3fd4247d4745258950c35311fc--la-palma-canary-islands-the-canaries.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f7/fe/9c/f7fe9c3fd4247d4745258950c35311fc--la-palma-canary-islands-the-canaries.jpg' /></noscript> <h4> Pests and diseases </h4> Palm does not suffer from most pests that occur in temperate latitudes, and its diseases and problems are often associated with improper care. A poorly organized watering regime leads to rotting of the roots, and if the plant is watered too infrequently, the leaves will begin to turn yellow and die. Waterlogging the soil leads to the appearance of small brown spots on the leaves. Round spots with a brown tint are a sign of burns. The palm tree is not afraid of the sun, but if you spray the leaves closely (while the tree is standing in the sun), then the drops of water will work like a lens. Of all the pests, the spider mite is considered the most terrible for a palm tree. It infects the lower part of the leaf, entangles the stem with cobwebs and feeds on the sap of the plant. Without extreme measures, the palm tree can quickly die. Usually, the tick is fought with insecticides, fungicides, a warm shower and soapy water. The mealybug infects the stems of the palm tree; to combat it, spraying with insecticides is carried out once a week.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/goturist.ru/foto/2014/01/la-palma1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/goturist.ru/foto/2014/01/la-palma1.jpg' /></noscript> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-1948" class="post-1948 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miscellaneous"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/miscellaneous/places-in-tenerife-south-the-south-tourist-areas.html">Places in tenerife south: The South | Tourist Areas</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: August 9, 2022 в 11:12 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/miscellaneous" rel="category tag">Miscellaneous</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>28 TOP: The most beautiful places of Tenerife – The best from Tenerife</h2> Tenerife is the largest and also probably the most interesting of the Canary Islands.

Before we decided where to set up home on Tenerife we travelled around the island staying in various resorts to see which rang our bells. After we moved to Tenerife and started writing about the island for magazines, newspapers and travel websites, we continued to stay in hotels and have built up first hand experiences of what it’s like to spend time in most places on Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/detrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/oteli-kosta-adehe-750x500.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/detrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/oteli-kosta-adehe-750x500.jpg' /></noscript> We’re not in the business of selling holidays, so our opinions are purely based on our own preferences. I know weather plays an important factor, but the weather all around Tenerife’s coastline is good all year round so I’m not going to dwell on ‘what’s the weather like?’ we’ve answered that one many times before. Instead this bite-sized guide is a snapshot designed to give a flavour of the most popular towns and resorts around the island. The south and south west of Tenerife Alcalá Our view This small, traditional coastal town in the south west of Tenerife was given a tourism boost when the luxury Gran Melia Palacio de Isora was built next to it a few years ago. It’s still a Canarian town with some charm rather than a resort and therein lies its strength for us. What the holiday companies say: Alcala, a fishing village with a pretty main square. Restaurants For its size there is a decent selection of good restaurants including traditional, seafood, tapas and contemporary cuisine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/d2/84/0f/d2840f5f98c8bcf084504e23551cbf2d--madeira-island-portugal-tourisme.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/d2/84/0f/d2840f5f98c8bcf084504e23551cbf2d--madeira-island-portugal-tourisme.jpg' /></noscript> Beaches In recent years the Gran Melia has supported the development of the town’s black sand beaches which means although not a typical ‘beach resort’ there’s more of a choice than there was. Nightlife Outside of the hotel nightlife is low key and local except when there’s a fiesta. Callao Salvaje Our view A small purpose built resort in the south west which doesn’t really have a strong personality one way or another. Callao Salvaje is suited to anyone who isn’t too bothered about beaches but who wants a quiet resort area in which to enjoy the sunshine. What the holiday companies say: Once a small village, the resort has recently undergone huge developments and the accommodation and amenities available to tourists are of fantastic quality. Restaurants There’s a good selection of decent but not outstanding resort restaurants, but not a choice for anyone seeking a memorable gastronomic experience.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/assets.headwater.com/000999_spain_canaries_View-over-La-Gomera-s.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/assets.headwater.com/000999_spain_canaries_View-over-La-Gomera-s.jpg' /></noscript> Nightlife Nightlife centres around a few bars mainly aimed at British visitors. Beaches Although a beach was built relatively recently, Callao Salvaje isn’t really what you’d think of as a beach resort. Costa Adeje Our view Although an umbrella term for the Adeje coast, most people know Costa Adeje as the biggest resort area on Tenerife. It consists of a number of areas with distinct personalities – ranging from cheap and cheerful to upmarket and stylish. Nearly all are purpose built so it’s an area for people looking for a sunny beach holiday with all the resort amenities rather than traditional Tenerife. What the holiday companies say: Holidays to Costa Adeje are all pristine beaches, smart eateries and first-class boutiques. Plus, you’ve got party-hard Playa de las Palmas next door. NOTE: I’m sure they meant Playa de las Américas. Restaurants There are masses of restaurants aimed at tourists.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tenerifetourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/tenerife-map-1024x683.png" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tenerifetourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/tenerife-map-1024x683.png' /></noscript> You can eat your way around the world in Costa Adeje, although good traditional restaurants are few and far between. In our view some of the best food in Costa Adeje is found in its luxury hotels. Beaches There’s a good choice of long, sandy beaches with plenty of sea based fun to be had. Nightlife Mixed. The more upmarket areas of Costa Adeje can be relatively quiet whereas further south towards Playa de las Américas there are clubs, live music and karaoke bars for lively holiday fun. Los Cristianos Our view Once a small fishing community, Los Cristianos in the south of Tenerife is now more resort than traditional town. But it is one whose roots haven’t completely been eroded and subsequently it still feels Canarian in parts. It is quite big but doesn’t really feel it and is one of the few resort areas in the south of Tenerife which has a flavour of the Tenerife that exists outside the resorts.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mywaytrip.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/co-zobaczy%C4%87-na-teneryfie.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mywaytrip.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/co-zobaczy%C4%87-na-teneryfie.jpg' /></noscript> It’s also a good base for exploring other islands like La Gomera. What the holiday companies say: A century ago Los Cristianos was little more than a sleepy fishing village. Now, thanks to a swanky new harbour built in the 1970s, it’s one of the busiest ports on the island. Restaurants Loads of choice with a good mix of traditional and international cuisine. Nightlife On the surface, nightlife is aimed at more mature visitors and might feel low key to anyone looking for a place to party. But there are some lively local bars which don’t liven up until late. Beaches Los Cristianos boasts what a lot of people consider to be one of the best beaches on Tenerife in Las Vistas. The town beach overlooking the harbour is also above average compared to many other beaches on the island. Los Gigantes Our view The sunny Tenerife resort with one of the most outstanding views – La Gomera and the cliffs it was named after – was built in the 1970s to attract mainly British visitors.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/airport_tenerife_sur_spain_118.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/airport_tenerife_sur_spain_118.jpg' /></noscript> It’s a resort which appeals to visitors wanting a sunny base with a small town ambience. It is purpose built, but it has also embraced local traditions such as carnival. It’s a good base for exploring both the south and popping across to the north coast. What the holiday companies say: Los Gigantes is a pretty seaside town on Tenerife’s southwest coast – it’s nestled into the rock face, with the dramatic 300-metre cliffs called The Giants running off to the north. Life moves at a leisurely pace here. Restaurants Many restaurants cater for the resort’s British visitors but there are some traditional restaurants and it is the location of the best restaurant on Tenerife. That’s our opinion, but it does have a Michelin star and a chef voted the second best in Spain a few years ago. Nightlife Mostly relaxed and low key with the resort’s bars aimed at British visitors. Beaches The town beach is in a spectacular position, but isn’t the best looking of beaches.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/old.pupok.eu/foto/nov09/3/put.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/old.pupok.eu/foto/nov09/3/put.jpg' /></noscript> Palm Mar Our view Palm Mar almost on the island’s southern tip is purpose built, but it’s more expat residential than resort which means facilities for visitors aren’t as extensive as in other ‘resorts’. What the holiday companies say: Nothing as far as we can see. Restaurants The gastronomic scene in Palm Mar is on the up with a handful of interesting, modern restaurants. Nightlife There’s not much, but the Bahia Beach Club is one of the most stylish of its kind on the island and has some interesting events. Beaches Beach areas have been ‘created’ at Palm Mar, but it’s not a beach destination. Playa de las Americas Our view Bad-mouthed by plenty, the reality of Playa de las Américas is not what many might visualise. It’s a purpose built resort which bears no relation to traditional Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/content.skyscnr.com/m/6a2ec96552f363f1/original/tenerife-canary-islands-spain.jpg?crop=1048px:699px&quality=100" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/content.skyscnr.com/m/6a2ec96552f363f1/original/tenerife-canary-islands-spain.jpg?crop=1048px:699px&quality=100' /></noscript> But much of it, especially its southern end, is stylish and fun in a mini Vegas sort of way. There are still areas with bars which are a throwback to the 80s, Costa Adeje has those as well, but when I think of Las Américas it’s dancing fountains, mock Roman columns topped by archers and the Hard Rock Café I see in my mind. If I had to pick one purpose built resort to stay in on Tenerife it would be here. What the holiday companies say: Playa de las Americas is the party capital of the island. Year-round sun and full-on nightlife pull in the Brit crowd, and the duty-free shops and golden beaches don’t do any harm either. Restaurants Don’t expect traditional gastronomy, but there are plenty of good, modern, international restaurants in Playa de las Americas. Nightlife It does deserve its reputation as Tenerife’s tourist nightlife capital. Veronicas on the border with Costa Adeje attracts younger visitors and people, usually older people, talk about it as though it’s Sodom and Gomorrah.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mirtayn.ru/wp-content/uploads/lanzarote_02.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mirtayn.ru/wp-content/uploads/lanzarote_02.jpg' /></noscript> But there are excellent live music bars as well. Beaches Las Américas doesn’t actually have many beaches, but Playa del Camisón is one of the island’s more attractive playas in our view. With surfers, huge sculptures and a couple of excellent beach bars, the coastal walk at Las Américas has a bigger personality than most other resorts. Playa de la Arena Our view My father-in-law had an apartment here, subsequently we spent a lot of time in this smallish purpose built resort in the south west. It was nearly always sunny when we visited. Playa de la Arena doesn’t have a strong personality. It’s simply a tranquil, pleasant little resort to spend time in. What the holiday companies say: You get all the bars and restaurants you need without the non-stop pace. And with its craggy coastline and mountain views, the place looks pretty good, too. Restaurants There’s a good mix of Canarian and international restaurants.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/st.ex.turtella.ru/ex/l1184751.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/st.ex.turtella.ru/ex/l1184751.jpg' /></noscript> Nightlife Low key bars. Not a place for night owls. Beaches The resort beach is a pretty, black sand affair with views of La Gomera. Playa Paraiso Our view Ask me a couple of years ago and I’d have described Playa Paraiso as one of the worst resorts on Tenerife; the sort of place which gave people the impression that Tenerife was a naff holiday destination. But the times they are a changin’. There were already a couple of excellent hotels in Playa Paraiso but the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel will prove a real game changer. Outside the hotels at the moment though, not so great. What the holiday companies say: Set on Tenerife’s south west coast, it’s a small, quiet, purpose-built resort where you won’t find much beyond a few restaurants, shops and bars. Restaurants I’ve enjoyed some really good meals in Playa Paraiso… but only inside its hotels.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/74/9c/6e/749c6e26001eee3e4ba0c45254c26147.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/74/9c/6e/749c6e26001eee3e4ba0c45254c26147.jpg' /></noscript> Nightlife I’m not a fan of the bars in Playa Paraiso. But it’s got the Hard Rock Hotel which throws some great party nights. Beaches Playa Paraiso has an attractive little beach below the Roca Nivaria. Playa San Juan Our view Playa San Juan is a Canarian town rather than a resort. Although it’s been ‘discovered’ by more and more visitors in the last few years there’s still not much accommodation in the town, with the only hotel being the luxury Abama on the cliffs a short distance away. Good for anyone looking for a traditional place to stay on the south west coast. What the holiday companies say: home to a small harbour and a chic prom. Restaurants There’s a very good selection of restaurants with traditional and more contemporary Canarian and Spanish cuisine. Nightlife Local and laid back; not for party people.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/47/f8/bf/47f8bf2721ada09f513d5ba0a3df2656.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/47/f8/bf/47f8bf2721ada09f513d5ba0a3df2656.jpg' /></noscript> Beaches San Juan has a pretty decent town beach, protected by a harbour which is home to a small fishing fleet. Puerto Santiago Our view Puerto Santiago gets lost between the neighbours it joins on to – Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena. In reality it’s the most Canarian of the trio with local fiestas taking place in its centre, although because it’s a bit spread out it can be difficult to tell where that centre is. What the holiday companies say: Behind it are brooding 500-metre-high dark cliffs. In front is a bijou beach of black volcanic sand. Restaurants A varied mix of good restaurants with menus featuring Canarian and crowd-pleasing international fare. Nightlife I think of Puerto Santiago and I think of Route 66 which is often bouncing and whose live bands are good enough to entice people away from their all inclusive hotels.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/2c/e5/b9/2ce5b9e5944a30c9cc810636ba85f107.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/2c/e5/b9/2ce5b9e5944a30c9cc810636ba85f107.jpg' /></noscript> Beaches Puerto Santiago has a nice black sand beach, but I’ve rarely seen many visitors on it. More bite-sized descriptions of Tenerife’s towns and resorts for the north and east of the island will be coming soon.

From the drama of its volcanic beaches to the tranquillity of its ancient forests, the charm of its tucked-away villages to the thrill of its ultra-modern architecture, we look at Tenerife’s sophisticated side and find an island on the up When you itemise Tenerife’s attractions it ends up sounding like a fantasy island – the best aspects of other destinations cobbled together in one spot: a Herzog & de Meuron-designed art gallery, a high-energy street carnival, sun-soaked wineries and Garachico’s ethereal natural pools.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mediasole.ru/data/images/367/367681/006_0_20a23e_4d0ee48f_XXXL.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mediasole.ru/data/images/367/367681/006_0_20a23e_4d0ee48f_XXXL.jpg' /></noscript> But this isn’t some mash-up of London, Rio, Provence and the Dolomites we’re talking about, it’s Tenerife, which, without making a big fuss about it, has been quietly maturing into one of Europe’s most exciting destinations, with extraordinary experiences such as whale-watching, star-gazing in Teide National Park, and some of the world’s best hotels, restaurants and spas. Having carried a reputation as the Canaries’ party island for some time – all beach bars, pink drinks and all-night discos – Tenerife is now ready to show off its elevated, more cultured side, along with its natural splendour and lesser-known villages. <h3>The National Parks: otherworldly landscapes and wildlife</h3> Parque Nacional del Teide Away from the city, there are two stunning national parks. The first, Parque Nacional del Teide, sits slap bang in the middle of the island, and is dominated by El Teide, the most imposing of the Canaries’ many awesome volcanoes, which at 3,718 metres is Spain’s tallest peak.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-gmeFUobOgNg/UaUkjwkq2mI/AAAAAAAAWq4/5kVeUm9gFd0/s640/_DSC0015.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-gmeFUobOgNg/UaUkjwkq2mI/AAAAAAAAWq4/5kVeUm9gFd0/s640/_DSC0015.jpg' /></noscript> The park’s 190 square kilometres comprise one vast UNESCO World Heritage Site, and an extraordinary place to explore; bizarre rock formations rear up out of nowhere, strange desert flora clings to the hillsides and the whole landscape feels haunting and otherworldly. It’s a fair hike up to the mouth of the volcano – better to take the cable car for an unmatched perspective of the entire island and even follow one of Volcano Teide’s guides for an awesome session of sunsets and star-gazing (the lack of pollution reveals planets, galaxies and clusters in their full glory). Parque Rural de Anaga By contrast, Parque Rural de Anaga in the far north of the island is a lush, rugged paradise where stunning hiking trails cut through dense woodland and deep valleys carve astonishing views across ancient forests. A protected biosphere reserve, the park is home to an abundance of life including the island’s fabled dragon trees and a whole host of birds, among them shearwaters and owls. Up here you’ll also find some of Tenerife’s loveliest villages including Afur, a tiny whitewashed hamlet that sits prettily surrounded by hills.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/archello.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/images/2010/07/05/beter2-73.1506086936.9266.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/archello.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/images/2010/07/05/beter2-73.1506086936.9266.jpg' /></noscript> Other settlements in the north are similarly handsome, such as San Cristóbal de la Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and university town known as the ‘Florence of the Canary Islands’ for the many churches and brightly painted historical houses in its old centre. As the former capital of Tenerife, it’s home to grande dames such as boutique La Laguna Gran Hotel, a bastion of traditional Canarian architecture and design with a genteel interior courtyard and rooftop pool. <h3>Santa Cruz: culture and food</h3> Tenerife Espacio de las Artes Tourists have long been drawn to the south of Tenerife with its resorts, beaches and booming nightlife, but the real hub of the island is its capital, Santa Cruz. Here you’ll find Herzog & de Meuron’s strikingly beautiful modern-art gallery, Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (TEA), which houses a permanent collection of work by local surrealist Oscar Domínguez and a roster of first-class touring exhibitions. Santa Cruz is also home to Santiago Calatrava’s Auditorio, a 1,600-seat opera house and design marvel which sits on the water’s edge recalling a vast white helmet of a punk-rock charioteer.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/01/02/c3/0102c3e860656e127a24346207a7c62c.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/01/02/c3/0102c3e860656e127a24346207a7c62c.jpg' /></noscript> Santiago Calatrava’s Auditorio But it’s not all edification. There’s a brilliant complex of swimming pools and restaurants, Parque Marítimo, designed by artist César Manrique, which is a glorious place to while away a sunny afternoon. And, although on hold this year due to Covid-19, February usually brings a month-long riot of a carnival, second only in size and stature to Rio de Janeiro’s, which rollicks around the old town’s streets, a samba-induced spectacle of sparkly outfits and animated costumes and devil-may-care debauchery. The city is also the best place for top-rung restaurants, showcasing a combination of Spanish and Latin American-influenced plates, and using sun-ripened vegetables, fruit and fish plucked fresh from the sea. For a whistle-stop tour of the island’s tasty bounty, peruse the stalls at Mercado Nuestra Señora de Africa, then head to Santa Cruz’s smartest haunts such as La Posada del Pez and San Sebastián 57 where chef Alberto González Margallo’s fish dishes (particularly the black cherne and tuna tartare) demand a try.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/79/29/c67929640936942e9c6ce9a895ec395c.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/79/29/c67929640936942e9c6ce9a895ec395c.jpg' /></noscript> Taking centre stage in Tenerife’s more low-key, traditional food scene is the island’s famous papas arrugadas, deeply flavoured potatoes grown in rich volcanic soil which are boiled in seawater and then roasted until their skins crinkle. Locals eat them with grilled sardines and lashing of mojo rojo sauce made from red pepper and garlic. These, along with other traditional Canarian dishes, are best enjoyed at Mesón Los Angeles, which serves papas arrugadas with choco (cuttlefish) and mojo sauce, or alfresco at Santa Cruz’s Restaurante Casa Comida La Hierbita, a legendary spot that’s been open for more than a century and is known for its puchero canario (Canarian stew) and locally led wine cellar. Bodegas Monje vineyard Indeed, the real surprise is the quality of the island’s wine. The vines planted here by Spanish settlers some 500 years ago survived the devastating root louse epidemic which killed 90 per cent of European vines in the 19th century, leaving Tenerife with a host of grape varieties that you can’t find anywhere else.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/78/f6/f0/78f6f099fa571baa92b9d2ff88304204.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/78/f6/f0/78f6f099fa571baa92b9d2ff88304204.jpg' /></noscript> Make sure you try the heroic red Listán Negro (family-owned vineyard Tajinaste in the Valle de la Orotava produces a particularly good one, as does Bodegas Monje with its 500-year old vines creating an intense, volcanic character), and round off lunch or supper with a glass of sweet and aromatic Malvasía wine (try Brumas de Ayosa Malvasía Dulce). <h3>The coastline: craggy walks, wild beaches and boat trips</h3> Afur, Tenerife And of course there is Tenerife’s glorious coastline. The big hotels are clustered around family-friendly strips of white sand, but the real draw here are the island’s wilder spots. At Los Gigantes on the west coast, the black cliffs surge from the water, creating scenery worthy of Game of Thrones. Sunset boat trips are the best way to appreciate the 600-metre-high cliffs and there is a saltwater lido at the base which gets bashed thrillingly by waves as you swim in its calm waters. For an alternative beach experience, try the wild black sands at Playa del Bollullo, near Puerto de la Cruz.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/byvali.ru/sites/default/files/styles/art_big_land/public/pictures/spain/kanarskie-ostrova/tenerife/plyazhi/costa-adeje/avtovokzal-costa-adeje.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/byvali.ru/sites/default/files/styles/art_big_land/public/pictures/spain/kanarskie-ostrova/tenerife/plyazhi/costa-adeje/avtovokzal-costa-adeje.jpg' /></noscript> Accessible only via footpath, the beach tends to be quiet, allowing you to explore its untamed beauty away from the crowds. For a breathtaking coastal walk, go to Almaciga up north in the Anaga national park where the path is cut into the rocks and the green cliffs tumble down to the water’s edge. And with 21 of the world’s 79 species of dolphin and whale circling the south of the island (at Puerto Colón and Los Gigantes) all year round, a whale-watching adventure is almost obligatory – there’s no better (or more sustainable) way to do it than aboard a catamaran followed by sundowners. Garachico, Tenerife For a truly authentic Canarian experience, start in the charming little town of Garachico on the north coast. Once the island’s commercial hub, it was decimated by floods and then half-submerged in volcanic lava in 1706. Today, it’s a magical place of artisanal shops, rustic tapas joints and pretty coves that make for great sea swimming spots. Stay at historic boutique hotel San Roque (a sympathetically restored 18th-century Canarian manor house), or equally as splendid Hotel la Quinta Roja, a pastel-pink 17th-century mansion with a vast palm-filled courtyard and photogenic watchtower.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/life-travels.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Tenerife-Costa-Adeje-1024x559.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/life-travels.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Tenerife-Costa-Adeje-1024x559.jpg' /></noscript> Brilliantly, all this is available all year round – we especially love Tenerife in September, after the summer rush and before the high winter season gets going, when the place is roomier and languidly lovely. Gorgeous weather, thrillingly modern culture, spectacular beaches and unexpectedly stunning countryside – perhaps Tenerife is a fantasy island after all. <hr/> Visit webtenerife.co.uk <hr/> <h2>Under-the-radar places in Tenerife for travel snobs</h2> Home / Europe / Under-the-radar places in Tenerife for travel snobs Europe, Travel Snobs <time datetime="2021-12-12T19:50:11+00:00" itemprop="dateModified">12 December, 2021</time><time datetime="2015-10-23T10:01:02+01:00" itemprop="datePublished">23 October, 2015</time> by Emma Clair Kelly With balmy all-year-round temperatures and a reputation for fun packages holidays, it’s no wonder the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands (located off the coast of West Africa) attracts over 10 million visitors a year.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/airport_tenerife_sur_spain_3-1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/airport_tenerife_sur_spain_3-1.jpg' /></noscript> Although it is still possible to escape the crowds, from unspoilt, sandy golden beaches to UNESCO heritage sites, but there is so much more to this island than meets the eye. Here are 10 of the most unspoilt places to visit in Tenerife which are just waiting for you travel snobs to discover and uncover… <h3>San Cristobal de la Laguna</h3> This UNESCO site is located at the northern tip of the island of Tenerife and is widely considered to be the cultural capital of the Canary Islands due to its title as “The City of the Anticipated Ones” as it was the first university town of the archipelago. The city is dotted with majestic seventeenth and eighteenth century stately house, museums and cathedrals. The city is divided into two parts: Villa de Arriba and Villa de Abajo, arranged in 16th century Renaissance style. After a stroll through the cobbled streets or a hike around the mountains surrounding La Laguna enjoy a vieja sancochada (a fish dish) with some fine local wine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/rentalcar-4-you.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/RentalCar-4-You-avto-v-arendu-v-Santa-Krus-de-Tenerife-aeroport-Tenerife-Juzhnyj.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/rentalcar-4-you.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/RentalCar-4-You-avto-v-arendu-v-Santa-Krus-de-Tenerife-aeroport-Tenerife-Juzhnyj.jpg' /></noscript> You may also like other unspoilt places in Majorca and unspoiled Sicily. <h3>The Anaga Mountains</h3> Filling the north-east corner of Tenerife, the Anaga Mountains rise from crashing coastline to vertinagous villages. While trekking through the mountains you will encounter the stunning natural scenery of Roques de Anaga which, are natural monuments in Tenerife as well as the Barranco de Las Huertas which, is an area of botanical importance that stretches across the range. The area is of stunning natural importance and showcases “Hidden Tenerife” which, is a world away from stereotyped Tenerife. <h3>La Orotova</h3> At the beginning of the Spanish conquest here, La Orotova was home to the wealthiest and most noble families. Nestled in a lush valley which is covered with crops of bananas and sugar vines, the town’s streets are lined with Renaissance style architectural treasures. There are countless beautiful gardens, winding streets and intricate stonework.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/f9/8f/4a/f98f4aa826ba13f0ce3ac3cbcc3afb6c.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/f9/8f/4a/f98f4aa826ba13f0ce3ac3cbcc3afb6c.jpg' /></noscript> Generally, tours flock to Casa de los Balcones to explore the balconies and the views of the classic skyline, dominated by the domes of Iglesia de a Conception. For lunch, grab a table in the courtyard but for dinner, spring for an elegant candlelit meal at one of the many classy wine bars. <h3>Teide National Park</h3> The national park is located on Mount Teide, the highest in Spain and the largest volcano in the world. It is also the second UNESCO site on Tenerife and is one of the oldest national parks in Spain. The journey itself is panoramic but during the hike the drastic change in terrain, scenery and flora and fauna is breath taking. There are also guided walks for less experienced hikers and on clear days Gran Canaria can be seen in the distance. <h3>Playa del Pozo and Playa de Los Patos</h3> Tenerife is famous for its beaches and dotted all around the island are prime examples of Tenerife’s fabulous playas. Although there are many wonderful beaches around the island, this pair are exceptional due to their secluded location they offer excellent water sport facilities.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/resorts_tenerife_102.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tripguides.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/resorts_tenerife_102.jpg' /></noscript> However, the remoteness of these beaches offer a chance to relax in seclusion among the stunning views of the untouched and natural landscape. <h3>Icod de los Vinos</h3> Founded in 1501 the city is a collection of seigniorial houses, ancient palaces, churches and convents. The town is packed full of heritage from the ancient Dragon Tree at the Church of San Marcos to the Plaza de La Pila and lots of grand old homes. If you can get there for the San Andres on November 29th for the spectacular sliding of the boards through the old neighbourhood, to celebrate the harvest. Eating in Icod de los Vinos is a unique experience as many of the dishes can only be made locally and offers unique exposure to pure traditional Canaries cuisine. <h3>The Cliffs at Los Gigantes</h3> Los Gigantes is a resort town on the west coast of the island, and is dominated by giant rock formations- Acantilados de Los Gigantes, that loom out of the sea at over 1,000 feet. This gives rise to the town’s name- Los Gigantes: The Giants.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/97/4f/34/974f340dd245ea384a7554fd07bb4b17.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/97/4f/34/974f340dd245ea384a7554fd07bb4b17.jpg' /></noscript> Needless to say one of the most popular attractions of the area is sunset over the cliffs. There are three viewpoints in the village; the main road, above the sports club and a third one is along a coastal path. The village of Los Gigantes has many small shops that sell local produce and souvenirs. A must is to have a meal at one of the many restaurants surrounding the church and plaza or along the marina, then maybe catch the sunset…how romantic!? <h3>Garachico</h3> After repeated battering by storms and smothering by volcanic lava, this picturesque marina town was once home to chaos and frenzy however, it has completely picked itself up and dusted itself down. It is hard to imagine these cobbled streets were not always so pretty and the sailboats jostling in the harbour were not always there. Now Garachico oozes style, with grand townhouses and cute fisherman’s houses in pastel hues. Stroll along the tree-lined promenade or paddle in the turquoise waters and stay in one of the chic boutique hotels or visit the developed lava pools.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/kdt_club/30459830/130469/130469_900.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/kdt_club/30459830/130469/130469_900.jpg' /></noscript> Go now while it’s still one of Tenerife’s best-kept secrets. <h3>El Puertito</h3> El puertito, meaning ‘little harbour’ is where the beach is a calm, relaxing oasis with a gorgeous little bar, right at the eponymous harbour. Since it has only recently become popular with tourists it has a more local, authentic feel as oppose to the tacky beaches along the strip. Before visiting ensure you check the tide, if it’s out you have plenty of sandy beach to relax on but without a doubt you must try the snorkelling and get a peek at the family of turtles living in the area as well as a variety of other marine life. The unspoilt nature of the beach is what attracts travellers as oppose to revellers who stay in the more lively parts of the island. <h3>Las Teresitas</h3> The golden sand of Playa de las Teresitas stretches for about a mile and is lined with rows of palm trees, with a regular gentle sea breeze, golden sand and calm waters it is widely considered to be one of the nicest beaches in North Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/scantri.com/wp-content/uploads/foto_county/city_new_gallery/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%B5/1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/scantri.com/wp-content/uploads/foto_county/city_new_gallery/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%B5/1.jpg' /></noscript> The beach sits in the shadows of the Anaga Mountains and is near to Santa Cruz but the local village of San Andres offers a great opportunity to chill out and enjoy the sunshine in peace. Although it is becoming more and more popular with tourists it still retains a certain unspoilt quality and can easily be mistaken for the Caribbean coastline..for half the travel time and cost!

Well, that’s awesome. Tenerife is the perfect choice if you are looking for hot weather in Europe while still having the opportunity to both relax by the beach and partake in fun outdoor activities (even in winter!). However, being the largest of the Canary Islands also means it offers an extensive range of accommodation types and areas to stay. With so much choice, from international resorts in the buzzing South to backpacker hostels and local guest houses nearby hiking trails in the North, booking a place to stay in Tenerife can be confusing and disorienting. But let’s not start the holiday in a jumble. Here is a super powerful guide with lots of information about the different areas on the island and a selection of the best budget accommodations in Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/69/47/0c694795d442c5ef8d7bcc798ecac309.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/69/47/0c694795d442c5ef8d7bcc798ecac309.jpg' /></noscript> Let’s organise this trip!

In the south, towards Los Cristianos, there is in fact, a broad range of hotels and resorts with beautiful swimming pools, children’s playgrounds, spas and luxurious apartments. These places are usually booked long in advance and sold by tourism agencies all around Europe to short term holidayers and families who just want to relax and enjoy the sun without the hassle of organising every detail of the trip. That’s fair enough. Steven and probably half of the UK and Ireland know way too well what it is like to fly to Tenerife as a child, with the extended family for a week away.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/rozavetrov-ossetia.ru/wp-content/uploads/photo1128-1600x1066.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/rozavetrov-ossetia.ru/wp-content/uploads/photo1128-1600x1066.jpg' /></noscript> But Tenerife is not just all about all-inclusive holidays. You can easily find 4 to 6-person apartments, backpacker hostels, cyclist only guesthouses, hiking refuges and affordable double bedrooms in local bed-and-breakfast. In this article, we focused on the best affordable places to stay all around the island for solo travellers and couples, but we also listed a few apartments we recommend for groups and families of 4 to 6 persons. <h3> The best budget places to stay in Tenerife – </h3> Quick answer</h3> <ul> <li>Southern Coast</li> <li>Capital area</li> <li>North Coast</li> </ul> <h4>Los Cristianos/Playa las America</h4> DIVE RESORT OCEAN DREAMS – dorm from €20 <h4>Costa Adeje</h4> Endless summer house – dorm from €17 La ToRtuga hostEl – dorm from €19 <h4>El Medano</h4> CASA GRANDE SURF HOSTEL – from €17 CAMPOBASE.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-IEbr4DOaIbI/V73DWFJMAFI/AAAAAAAAMW4/gJJMEdWfeOMLRbKeiWEv-rgpHtYX_CA-wCK4B/s1600/image-703679.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/4.bp.blogspot.com/-IEbr4DOaIbI/V73DWFJMAFI/AAAAAAAAMW4/gJJMEdWfeOMLRbKeiWEv-rgpHtYX_CA-wCK4B/s1600/image-703679.jpg' /></noscript> BOX – from €18 ASHAVANA HOSTEL – from €18 <h4>Granadilla/ San Miguel</h4> CASA BLANCA – double from €30 SANSOFI HOSTEL – dorm from €27 <h4>Santa Cruz de Tenerife</h4> TENERIFE EXPERIENCE HOSTEL – from €22 WANDERLUST HOSTEL – dorm from €20 <h4>Valle de Guerra</h4> lagarto backpackers house – from €15 <h4>La Laguna</h4> HOMELYS – apt from €35 LA TERRERA YOUTH HOSTEL – from €21 <h4>Puerto de la Cruz</h4> PUERTO NEST HOSTEL – from €19 <h4>La Orotava</h4> HOSTEL TENERIFE – from €15 <h4>Icod de los vinos</h4> DRAGO NEST HOSTEL – from €15 <h3>Where to stay in </h3> Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas</h3> <hr/> Los Cristianos and its neighbourhood area Playa de las Americas are the main tourist hubs in the south of Tenerife. They are both easily reached within 30 minutes by local bus from the southern airport where daily flights link Tenerife to many countries in Europe.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1c/63/5d/1c635d37bda77113f87d001c3da276f3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1c/63/5d/1c635d37bda77113f87d001c3da276f3.jpg' /></noscript> Nearby, you will find nice beaches, some for swimmers and beach bums, others for surfers only, plenty of restaurants and bars serving international food and of course a lot of accommodation. Both areas are safe, family-friendly and most of the places are multi-lingual. In fairness, there is everything you need to spend the best holiday in the sun, worry-free. For the most active people, many tour companies will have an office and a hotel pick-up service from these areas. You can go paragliding, whale watching, visiting El Teide volcano, or even go to fun attractions such as the water parks Aqualand and Siam Park. However, Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas can feel overcrowded and lack authenticity. They both are cities that have been built for international mass tourism. And if you are not used to travelling to places like this, you may feel overwhelmed as we did.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/48/3c/d1483c69c479a14c1a5b7ceb37f83aaa.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/48/3c/d1483c69c479a14c1a5b7ceb37f83aaa.jpg' /></noscript> Nevertheless, it is here that you will find the largest offers in terms of accommodation. From all-inclusive resorts to gigantic hotels, guesthouses, apartments, Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas are quite pricey and the best/affordable places often booked months in advance. Unfortunately, for those with a tight budget or solo travellers, there aren’t many good hostels around. In fact, we can only recommend one. But if you are looking to relax by the swimming pool with a nice cocktail and are keen on compromising on your budget, we have added a couple of suggestions. <h4>Dive resort Ocean Dreams</h4> Dorm from €20 – Doubles from €40 The Dive Resort Ocean Dreams despite its name, is really a budget hostel with dorms and private rooms. It has good wifi, nice staff and a few large common areas where you can hang out and socialise. It is very central, only 5-10 minute walk from the main bus terminal, right by the beach where you can take kayaking tours or scuba diving courses, and close enough to lively restaurants and bars.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/000/369/449/wysiwyg/4.jpg?1506549935" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/000/369/449/wysiwyg/4.jpg?1506549935' /></noscript> It is the only budget hostel in the area and you won’t find a better value in Los Cristianos. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Dive resort ocean dreams hostel <h4>treat yourself in LOS CRISTIANOS</h4> <h4>Hg Tenerife Sur</h4> One-bedroom apartment from €70 A good compromise between price, location and services in Los Cristianos. HG Tenerife Sur offers beautiful private apartments with a kitchen, terrace and access to a large swimming pool. Check availability & prices Photo Credit – Hg Tenerife sur <h4>sOL ARONA</h4> Hotel room half pension from €80 If you want to chill by the swimming pool, near the centre of Los Cristianos, stay in a room with a beautiful view of the ocean, and don’t want to cook, here is a nice half-pension hotel for less than €50 per person per night! Check availability & prices Photo Credit – Sol Arona <h3>Where to Stay in </h3> Costa Adeje</h3> <hr/> When most of the large hotels and resorts are found in Los Cristianos or Playa de las Americas, most rental apartments are located in Costa Adeje.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tenerifesurprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8541034091_b56a71b390_b.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tenerifesurprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/8541034091_b56a71b390_b.jpg' /></noscript> The area is as crowded but the beaches are much larger and protected from the waves thanks to artificial barriers. It is also in Costa Adeje that you will find most of the whale and dolphin watching tours leaving from Puerto Colon, a small harbour. In Costa Adeje, there are a lot of choices in terms of restaurants and bars but also nightclubs. The area is very lively at night and some bars don’t hesitate to play their music very loud to attract party people. If you are looking for private and cheap options to stay in Costa Adeje, you may have some issues. There are no private rooms under €50 per night except for a few doubles in budget hostels (see below). Costa Adeje, however, is the perfect place to stay if you come as a group of friends or with your family. You won’t have any issue to find 2 to 3 bedroom apartments. On the other hand, solo or budget travellers will have the choice between 3 backpacker hostels offering comfortable shared dorms for less than €20 a night.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/windowman.ru/wp-content/uploads/8/0/5/80515f975fe8ee439e6d2aba5f9ca9b7.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/windowman.ru/wp-content/uploads/8/0/5/80515f975fe8ee439e6d2aba5f9ca9b7.jpeg' /></noscript> The cheapest places to stay in this part of Tenerife. <h4>LA TORTUGA HOSTEL</h4> Dorm from €19 – Double from €45 La Tortuga hostel is a very friendly and laid-back place with a small swimming pool, free yoga classes and Bbq every Wednesday. The hostel is, however, a little bit eccentric from Costa Adeje, but close to La Caleta and the famous hippie beach! Check availability & prices Photo credit – La Tortuga hostel <h4>ENDLESS SUMMER HOuse</h4> Dorm from €17 – No double Cheap and cosy, this hostel is a little bit further away from the beach and main area but with it comes silence. The atmosphere is really good and you will quickly feel at home. Breakfast is good and on Fridays, it’s Bbq for everyone! Check availability & prices Photo credit – Endless summer house <h3>Where to stay in </h3> Arona</h3> <hr/> Arona is one of the regions of Tenerife. It technically includes Los Cristianos and Playa de La Americas but we choose to list them separately.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tenerifetoday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/sur.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tenerifetoday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/sur.jpg' /></noscript> Arona is a very large area that goes from the beach to Arona pueblo, from where you can enter the national Park Teide. As you first start to go up the arid mountain, you will often enter a thin layer of clouds before penetrating into a very lush forest of Canarian pine trees. The few sleepy villages spread around, such as la Camella or San Miguel, feel a lot more local than the rest of Arona department. It is here that most of the locals in south Tenerife live. The higher you get, the more authentic it feels. It is like being in the countryside but with a gorgeous view over the southern beaches, the ocean and the island of La Gomera and El Hierro in the background. Arona is a nice place to relax, without much atmosphere but a good way to stay away from the crowded beach towns without being too far out. From San Miguel de Abona, you can get to Costa Adeje within 20 min by car or the entrance of the national park El Teide within half an hour.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/img4.tourbina.ru/photos.4/0/4/4/8/0/1108440/big.photo/Playa-de-Las-Amerikas.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/img4.tourbina.ru/photos.4/0/4/4/8/0/1108440/big.photo/Playa-de-Las-Amerikas.jpg' /></noscript> In north Arona, you will also find some of the most affordable places to stay in South of Tenerife, with private doubles for less than €30 a night. Note that with the altitude, it can get cold at night and that you might need to depend on the local buses or rental cars. We think, however, it is a good compromise between tranquillity, price and mobility if your plan is to visit the island and not stay at the beach all day. <h4>Casa Blanca</h4> Double from €30 A beautiful newly refurbished house in Granadilla with an open kitchen on the rooftop terrasse. Cooking has never been that beautiful! The rooms are simple but large, comfortable and clean. Granadilla is a very friendly and charming village far from mass tourism and yet, very well connected to the main beaches and cities with frequent buses. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Casa Blanca <h4>SANSOFI HOSTEL</h4> Dorm from €15 – Double from €30 A nice hostel for solo travellers or couples who want to meet people but stay away from the crowded areas of the south.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travel-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/tenerife-iz-sankt-peterburga-e1470475417916.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travel-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/tenerife-iz-sankt-peterburga-e1470475417916.jpg' /></noscript> Sansofi hostel has a really nice and cosy atmosphere thanks to a lovely owner and gorgeous amenities. The view from the terrasse is absolutely gorgeous. The wifi is good, the is a large parking and a fully-equipped kitchen available. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Sansofi hostel <h3>Where to stay in </h3> El Medano</h3> <hr/> El Medano is a laid-back town in Southern Tenerife that is ideal for solo travellers, couples or families looking for a quiet place to stay by the beach. It also attracts local residents on weekends and water sports adepts all year round. In fact, the constant offshore wind coupled with shallow waters and a reliable swell has made El Medano one of the main spots for wind and kite surfing in the Canary Islands. No surprises then, if El Medano has a bohemian feel with its many cafés and seafood restaurants as well as handmade jewellery vendors and international buskers entertaining strollers along the beach promenade.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/photos/am7.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/photos/am7.jpg' /></noscript> We liked El Medano for its small size and casual lifestyle but also because you won’t find any 5-star hotels and all-inclusive resorts nearby. In El Medano, you can rent villas and apartments or stay in great surf hostels to meet a lot of travellers interested in outdoor activities and nature. <h4>CASA GRANDE SURF HOSTEL</h4> Dorm from €17 – Double from €45 A social hostel to meet people and enjoy the beach. It is a backpacker place with volunteers preparing collective evening meals with anyone willing to chip in. Large lockers, good kitchen, beautiful terrace and the possibility to rent surfboards. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Casa grande Surf hotel <h4>CAMPOBASE.BOX</h4> Dorm from €18 – No double Large rooms but intimate pods with individual light and plugs. Campobase.box is a nice place to meet fellow travellers and do activities as a group. Yoga classes are organised on the beach as well as outings to the mountain.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/4c/91/60/4c91606b2e9c689458eef44ecb40b7d3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/4c/91/60/4c91606b2e9c689458eef44ecb40b7d3.jpg' /></noscript> Check availability & prices Photo credit – Campobase.box <h4>ASHAVANA HOSTEL</h4> Dorm from €18 – Double from €45 An old building well decorated and refurbished into a beautiful hostel for couples and solo travellers. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. We love the breakfast and the perfect location. The hostel is located right on the beachfront! Check availability & prices Photo credit – Ashanava hostel <h3>Where to stay in </h3> Santa Cruz de Tenerife</h3> <hr/> Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the Capital city of the western islands of the Canaries. It is a large city where locals live and work but where tourists don’t seem to stay very much except during the month-long festivities of Carnival. Santa Cruz acts mainly as a tourist hub with a large bus terminal and a few ferry companies offering affordable transfers to or from Gran Canaria. The city is nevertheless, really nice to visit. It has a typical market that reminds us of Sucre in Bolivia (best to visit on Sunday) and a few tourist attractions such as the Auditorium Adán Martín, or the water park César Manrique.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/1409791524.rsc.cdn77.org/data/images/full/212839/an-incredible-blend-of-nature-and-civilization-in-cape-town-south-africa.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/1409791524.rsc.cdn77.org/data/images/full/212839/an-incredible-blend-of-nature-and-civilization-in-cape-town-south-africa.jpg' /></noscript> Both can be visited on foot or by bus. The town is also very close to the beautiful beach of Las Teresitas and the Anaga Mountain where you can explore and hike for a day. In terms of accommodation, you will find a lot of hotels, usually aimed at professional stays, but for those on a budget, there are two hostels we would recommend if you plan to stay in town for a couple of nights. <h4>wanderlust hostel</h4> Dorm from €20 The wanderlust hostel is only a 5-minute walk from the ferry and pedestrian areas of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and 20 minutes from the bus station. It is located in an apartment building on the 2nd floor with access to a large rooftop terrace. The rooms are large, the bed cosy but the walls are thin so you might want to bring earplugs as you never know who else will be staying too. Breakfast isn’t included but they have a kitchen you can use anytime. The hostel also offers a gym and a massaging armchair which is pretty cool. The only thing we found weird was the mirror on the ceiling.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/554a875a-71dc-4f5f-b6bf-ae8967f137d5.selcdn.net/thumbs2/d8baaf54-3779-11e8-af9b-6e714efd800d.800x600.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/554a875a-71dc-4f5f-b6bf-ae8967f137d5.selcdn.net/thumbs2/d8baaf54-3779-11e8-af9b-6e714efd800d.800x600.jpg' /></noscript> A little bit creepy when you stay on the top bunk! Check availability & prices Photo credit – Wanderlust hostel <hr/> <h4>tenerife experience hostel</h4> Dorm from €23 – Double from €45 The Tenerife experience’s facilities are simple but the hostel is bright, cosy and decorated with a lot of taste. It has a lot of nice areas where to hang out and a beautiful terrasse right in the centre of the capital city. We liked how close it is to the bus station and the tramway but also the delicious free breakfast. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Tenerife Experience hostel <h3>Where to stay in </h3> La Laguna</h3> <hr/> San Cristobal de La Laguna is the best place to stay if you plan to go hiking around the Anaga’s Biosphere Reserve. The main hiking trails start only a short bus ride (30-minutes) from the main bus terminal located nearby the city centre. La Laguna also hosts the 2nd airport of the island, quickly accessible by local bus and from where you can easily rent a car.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/knpair.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Pogoda-v-Las-Americas-1024x683.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/knpair.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Pogoda-v-Las-Americas-1024x683.jpg' /></noscript> La Laguna is about 30 minutes from Santa Cruz de Tenerife by tram. While Santa Cruz feels a lot like a normal Spanish city with high buildings and limited history, La Laguna – which used to be the main capital of the island – has managed to preserve most of the houses and buildings built during the 15th century. If you’ve had the chance to visit South or Central America, you will easily recognise in La Laguna, the colonial architecture and layout of the cities found across the Atlantic. We love its narrow cobblestoned streets layered by old churches, convents and old palaces hiding beautiful patios and balconies made of the local pine trees. Photographers and history aficionados will enjoy strolling around its historical centre which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. For those interested in the nightlife, you will find a vibrant scene and student vibe as San Cristobal de La Laguna hosts the only University on the island with more than 30,000 students! In the evening, head to the main square and you will find a lot of bars and restaurants offering cheap tapas and drinks.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travelsib.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bebop_201605241828220200-1200x674.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travelsib.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bebop_201605241828220200-1200x674.jpg' /></noscript> For some reason, you won’t spot many tourists around (except for the group of walking tours in the morning). La Laguna feels very authentic and local, and would really deserve to be more recognised. It is for us our favourite city in Tenerife. <h4>LA TERRERA YOUTH hostel</h4> Dorm from €21 This hostel is perfectly located in the centre of La Laguna. A bit small but comfy and affordable. It has one double bedroom and a couple of shared dorms. People like the nice little garden, hot shower and the simple but good breakfast! The hostel has a kitchen. Check availability & prices Photo credit – La Terrera Youth hostel <hr/> <h4>HOMELYS</h4> Two-bedroom apartment from €35 If you want to chill right outside the centre of town in a full apartment we would recommend Homelys. The staff operating this apartment are super helpful and will provide everything for you to feel like you actually live in La Laguna. Check availability & prices photo credit – Homelys <h4>Lagarto Backpackers House</h4> Dorm from €15 – Double from €37 A nice hostel with a swimming pool in the countryside of Valle De Guerra only 600m from Barranquera beach.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> A place to escape the crowds of tourists and relax in a remote area surrounded by hiking trails. *Not in La Laguna city Check availability & prices photo credit – Lagarto Backpackers hostel <h3>Where to stay in </h3> Puerto de la Cruz</h3> <hr/> Puerto de la Cruz is the main tourist town in the north of Tenerife with a lot of hotels and short-term apartments to rent. The town has a nice mix of local vibes and tourist attractions and is mainly popular among older tourists. It was the first tourist hub on the island and since the emancipation of the south, Puerto de La Cruz seems to try to save face by showing off with its large tax-free boutiques and huge swimming pools. The pedestrian city centre and the promenade along the coast are really nice to stroll or visit by segway (!) and you can find nice international restaurants and bars all over the place. However, you might want to walk a bit out of the centre to find local food.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Puerto de la Cruz is also a city that attracts a large population of expats – the north is really popular with Germans – but also surfers, because of its affordable apartment rent and the easy access to good waves all year long within the city itself. <h4> Puerto Nest Hostel </h4> Dorm from €19 – Double from €50 Beautifully located, this hostel is only a 15-minute walk from the bus station and 5 minutes to the beach. We loved the rooftop terrace to enjoy breakfast in the morning or chill during the day. The staff is friendly but the cute house dog is the star of the place. Puerto Nest Hostel has a kitchen and good wifi. Check availability & prices Photo credit – Puerto Nest Hostel <h4>treat yourself in puerto de la cruz</h4> <h4>HOTEL SUN HOLIDAYS</h4> Double from €39 The hotel Sun Holidays is of a very high standard for the budget nature, with cosy rooms, helpful staff and perfect location in the old town.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Check availability & prices Photo credit – Hotel Sun holidays <h4>APT DEL MAR</h4> One-bedroom apartment – from €86 A beautiful newly restored one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz.

LEARN MORE SHARE THIS POST <h2>The 9 Most Youth-Friendly Places in Tenerife, Spain</h2> Last Updated on <time itemprop="dateModified" datetime="2022-05-05T10:47:40-05:00">May 5, 2022</time> by Redação 3 Looking for your next adventure? Do you want to enjoy your vacation on a paradise island? Tenerife is the best vacation spot where you can find beautiful beaches and fascinating hiking trails. Millions of people the Canary Islands every year. The local climate and landscape are ideal for vacationing and abstracting from reality. Tenerife is one of the most visited islands in the region. And no wonder, the place has a lovely climate in addition to several amazing activities that delight tourists and locals alike. Don’t forget to check out the idyllic beaches, adorable historic centers, story-packed museums, and the famous volcano El Teide.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> But where do you start? Here are the most youth-friendly places in Tenerife. <h3> 1. Have fun with Bubble Soccer Tenerife, Santa Cruz</h3> Many people love sports activities and enjoy having fun with the company. If you’ve always wanted to try soccer, then how about a modified version? You have to put on a bubble to be able to fall and bounce off surfaces. This format of entertainment will be of interest to many people. It will be especially fun if you play with your friends. Divide into two teams and try to score. This kind of entertainment will take a long time, so students should think about paperwork in advance. Just read a pile of reviews, Will Martins from WPS posts on his website. Find a company to help you with assignments and keep playing. <h3> 2. Visit Playa de las Teresitas</h3> How about a gorgeous beach? This place is ideal for passive relaxation. The clean sandy beach is bordered by hills and clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You are guaranteed to enjoy the cool breeze when you arrive at the beach in the morning. Here, no one will distract you from unity with nature. Hear the lapping of the waves, the cries of seagulls, and enjoy the serenity. It is worth noting that this recreation format will be of interest to almost everyone tired of noisy megacities. <h3> 3. Cool off at Siam Park</h3> How about a water park? Visit Siam Park for fun with your friends. Each water slide will be a real discovery for you. Here you will get a big shot of adrenaline and will be able to abstract from your daily routine. Typically, this water park is visited by students wishing to take a break from colleges or universities. It’s wise if you find a writing service and type something like, “Will you help with my papers?” to cope with the enormous academic workload. Then nothing will stop you from enjoying your vacation. <h3> 4. Walk through Loro Parque</h3> This is one of the most famous animal parks.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Here you can see a water show with dolphins and rare species of fauna. Here locals look after unique birds, artiodactyls, and primates. It will be interesting for you to hear each animal’s story and walk along the beautiful alleys with the enclosures. Usually, a couple of hours will be enough to enjoy the diversity of the local fauna. <h3> 5. Experience Viking Tenerife Ragnarok, Los Cristianos</h3> If you enjoyed watching the Vikings series, it would be interesting to ride on a real Drakkar. Local entrepreneurs built the boat so tourists could swim around the coast and enjoy the scenery. The guides are dressed like ancient Vikings, so it will be interesting for you to spend a couple of hours with the Scandinavian adventurers and listen to some interesting stories. And if you need to rush to the airport, take advantage and save money by taking the bus from Los Cristianos to Tenerife airport. <h3> 6. Accelerate at Karting Club Tenerife</h3> Relaxation doesn’t always have to be limited to beach parties or swimming in the pool.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You can visit a local go-kart track and try yourself as a racer. Take part in competitions and hone your racing skills. Here you will get a lot of positive emotions and the joy of victory. The race track is safe enough. In addition, you can wear a protective helmet and suit. Karting runs from morning until late at night, so you don’t have to worry about not having time to have fun and beat your friends in the competition. <h3> 7. Venture into the Cueva del Viento</h3> The Cueva del Viento cave is the sixth-longest cave in the world and has many amazing stalactites. You can hire a guide to show you the rock carvings of the ancient aboriginals and many caves. It is very quiet here, so you will feel your heartbeat. The cave has many living organisms, so it will be interesting for you to watch mollusks, crustaceans, or bats. If you are not afraid of confined spaces, then this type of recreation will be very interesting. <h3> 8. Short at Achaman Discopub</h3> If you get tired of exploring the island and want to relax with friends, Achaman Discopub is the best option.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Here you can have a delicious dinner, a great cocktail, and a dance. The club owners often invite famous DJs so that you can count on great music. The club has neon lighting, which creates an atmosphere of fun and a certain mystery. In any case, you will love the opportunity to dance and get a boost of energy. <h3> 9. Dance at Marinha Beach Club</h3> Here’s another great club for you. This place is located on the beach, so tourists can relax and dance close to the ocean. There is a lot of delicious food and drinks, as well as good music. Marinha Beach Club will give you positive emotions and the opportunity to abstract from your daily routine.

In winter, the temperature on the island does not fall below +18 °C, and in summer it does not rise above +29 °C, which is why Tenerife is called the island of eternal spring. Tourists come here all year round. The island is divided by a ridge of volcanic origin into two parts: southern and northern. The meager landscapes of the desert south are different from those of the north, where everything is green and blooming. My parents and I went to Tenerife in 2018. To admire the unusual landscapes, we rented a car and drove around the entire island in it.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In two weeks, we managed to sunbathe on the black sand, climb to the top of the volcano, stroke the lemurs and eat seafood. The plans are to return to Tenerife again. There are so many interesting things that it is simply impossible to explore everything in one trip. I’ll tell you about the main attractions, resorts and beaches of Tenerife. The article has a lot of useful information about food, accommodation and rental offices, so it is convenient to navigate on a trip. <h5> What you will learn </h5> <h4> 📌 Input </h4> Country : Spain. Location : Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Morocco and Western Sahara. How long to fly : from Moscow on average 7.5 hours. Difference with Moscow : −2 hours in summer, −3 hours in winter. When the season is : all year round. Average temperature : +27 °C in summer, +24 °C in spring and autumn, +18 °C in winter.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Language : Spanish. <h4> ✈️ Road </h4> Aeroflot and Es-7, as well as the Spanish Iberia, fly directly from Russia to Tenerife. Ticket prices from Moscow start at 22,000 R in both directions. There are no direct flights from St. Petersburg. In my experience, it’s cheaper to fly to Tenerife from Europe. For example, in 2018, a flight from Helsinki to Tenerife with a stopover in Barcelona cost 11,000 R in both directions. Along the way, you can drink sangria and climb the Sagrada Familia. Tenerife has two airports – south and north. Planes from Russia fly south to Reina Sofia Airport. European flights land most often in northern Los Rodeos. <h4> 🏖️ Tenerife Resorts & Beaches </h4> When I was on the island in 2018, 12 Tenerife beaches were awarded the Blue Flag. This means that the coast has crystal clear water and developed infrastructure. The award is given once a year: each season, the commission again checks the beaches for compliance with high standards.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Playa de Las Americas is the most popular resort on the south coast. It is always warm there, because the mountain range protects the city from the winds and vagaries of the weather. In my opinion, Playa de Las Americas is a branch of Turkey in the Canary Islands. There are tall modern hotels and entertainment for every taste: noisy parties, catamaran rides and gatherings with compatriots at the bar. This resort may also be suitable for tourists who prefer group excursions with a guide in Russian. From the port of Los Gigantes pleasure boats go to the famous “hell walls”. This is the name of the powerful sheer cliffs of Los Gigantes, formed from basalt volcanic rock. On the boat trip you can meet dolphins and whales. Even from the water you can see the picturesque gorge Mask, where the mountain settlement is located. I didn’t swim in Los Gigantes because our goal was to take a boat ride and take pictures with the whales.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> I didn’t manage to take a selfie with them, but the meeting with a flock of dolphins caused me real delight. Playa de la Arena is a small cozy beach with volcanic sand. I really liked it there: fewer tourists rest in this area, so you can comfortably sit and meditate. But the beach has a minus: on a hot day, the black sand heats up so that you can burn your heels. Puerto de Santiago. Due to volcanic activity, Tenerife has created many open natural pools. This is a part of the ocean off the coast, which is enclosed by solidified lava. One such pool is El Tancon, located in the city of Puerto de Santiago. Swimming in the pool is allowed if the ocean is calm. During waves, the pool is covered by water. Puerto de la Cruz is one of the largest northern cities in Tenerife. We walked along the narrow streets of the old town and admired the mountain landscapes of the island. There is always a fresh breeze blowing from the ocean, so the resort will be comfortable for those who do not tolerate the heat.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Puerto de la Cruz is also suitable for those who love a relaxing holiday. Locals live here, and there are few Russians among tourists. Mostly the British rest in the city. The highlight of the resort is the Costa Martianez. This is a complex of 7 outdoor pools with sea water right on the ocean. Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena are located close to each other – the boundaries between them are practically erased. It is calm there: few tourists and no high-rise hotels. But there are cozy taverns and picturesque embankments. In the photo – Los Gigantes Most of all in Tenerife I liked swimming in the ocean pools. The water in them is calm and warm, although the ocean is raging nearby San Andrés is a pretty village at the foot of Mount Anaga. In the eastern part of the village, the ruins of the fort of the same name have been preserved, which has protected residents from pirates since 1706. San Andrés is famous for Las Torecitas beach.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Sand for him was specially brought from the Sahara. It is comfortable to swim on the beach: the rocks protect the village from the wind, and the waves break on a specially built stone dam. Benijo Beach is considered one of the most beautiful wild beaches of the island. There is black volcanic sand, strong waves, and also rocks resembling crocodile teeth. There are no changing rooms or showers on Benijo. Of the infrastructure, only garbage cans. But it is there that you should go for the most incredible sunsets on the island. Before the trip, I advise you to pay attention to the tide chart. The beach is gently sloping, so at high tide it is almost completely hidden under water. Sunset on the beach of Benijo. Note to romantics: this is the perfect place to propose to your girlfriend <h4> 🌋 Tenerife attractions </h4> Tenerife has a lot to see. For example, in the cultural capital of the island, San Cristobal de la Laguna, there is a main cathedral.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Almond orchards bloom in Santiago del Teide, while 16th-century buildings have been preserved in La Orotava. Not far from Icod de Los Vinos, a volcanic cave 18 km long was formed. There are also several parks and reserves on the island where animals roam. There, for the first time in my life, I hand-fed lemurs. Here are the main attractions of the island that I remember. Teide dormant volcano. It last erupted in 1909. The landscapes on the way to Teide are called Martian because of the reddish tint and relief created by the solidified lava. The volcano is located in the national park. There you can walk along the hiking trails and climb to the top of the Teide. Compared to the coast, the volcano is very cold: a maximum of +10 °C. I got ready and took my jacket and hat with me. In the cable car cabin, other tourists looked at me with curiosity, and at the top – with envy. Loro Parque is the most popular park on the island.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Once upon a time, thousands of parrots lived there: “loro” in Spanish means a parrot. Today it is a whole entertainment complex. The territory of the park resembles a tropical forest, in which, in addition to birds, crocodiles, chimpanzees, jaguars and other exotic animals live. Every day, the park hosts a show featuring killer whales, fur seals and dolphins. Dragon Tree is the biggest tree I have ever seen. It is 20 meters high and 10 meters in circumference. The tree grows in the city of Icod de los Vinos. Scientists argue about its age: some say that the tree is 1500 years old, others – 3000. The exact age cannot be determined, because the Dragon Tree does not have annual rings. Garachico is a northern city rebuilt on lava after the Trevejo eruption in 1706. There are many El Caleton lava pools. When the lava flowed out of the volcano, it collided with water and solidified, which is why all the baths are of an unusual shape. <h4> 💶 Money </h4> The currency in Tenerife is the euro.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Cards are accepted everywhere except markets and public transport. There are many ATMs, but local banks charge a commission. I don’t remember its exact size. If you take cash with you, I advise you to exchange them for small bills – 10, 20 or 50 euros each. Otherwise, the seller may not have change. Cafes and restaurants. It is better to try local food in small cafes away from tourist places. There are good and inexpensive fish restaurants in Tenerife in the fishing town of Los Abrigos and in the village of Tajao. Dinner for three with appetizers, grilled fish and a liter of homemade wine cost us 38 € (2812 R). In restaurants, at the request of customers, the rest of the portion is put into a container and given away. Some tourists are embarrassed to take food, but in vain: this is how the Spaniards understand that the client liked the dishes. Homemade dinner options in Tenerife. Cooking with local products is a pleasure. A kilogram of fresh mussels in the store will cost 3.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> 5 € (259 R) <h4> 🚃 Transport </h4> The best way to explore the island is to rent a car. I advise you to book it in advance on the Internet, because it is more profitable this way. You can also choose a good car, and not be content with what is left in the fleet. From public transport in Tenerife there is a tram running along the route Santa Cruz – La Laguna, as well as buses and taxis. The local slang for buses is “gua-gua”. Their communication is well developed: comfortable bright green buses pass through the island’s most popular beaches and attractions. You can check the schedule and ticket prices on the official website. <h4> 🏠 Accommodation </h4> Instead of a five-star hotel, we chose apartments with sea and palm trees views near Playa de la Arena <h4> 📱 Internet </h4> Wi-Fi works in cafes, hotels and entertainment venues. There may be problems with it at home. For example, nominally there was Wi-Fi in our apartment, but in fact it was constantly turned off.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> At the same time, the speed was also very low. <h4> 🍯 Souvenirs </h4> <h4> ⚠️ Safety Rules </h4> In general, Tenerife has a safe and friendly atmosphere, but there are petty thieves in popular resorts. When you leave the car, I advise you to put all things in the trunk. Insurance will not cover broken glass if someone is attracted to your jacket or iPhone charger. <h4> 🚨 If something happened </h4> There is no Russian embassy in the Canary Islands, only the honorary consulate of the Russian Federation. Phone: +34 928 49-22-22. Mobile: +34 637 83-17-73. We are looking for people who travel on their own. If you have organized a vacation in Russia, neighboring countries, popular resorts or more exotic places – share your experience with us. <h3> Tenerife Attractions </h3> Why is this guide a must read?

Among the rocks in the thickets of the northwest, the village of Masca is lost, whose picturesque landscapes are the value of the mountains. The six pyramids of Guimar, located on the island of Tenerife, can be considered the youngest such attraction.

And such a program is relevant all year round: the climate of the island is mild, conducive to all types of active tourism. One of the most famous parks of the island is Loro Parque, you can safely plan a visit to it for the whole day. The highlight of the park is the dolphin and killer whale show, held on schedule, the rest of the time you can relax in the tropical park, visit the stylized “Thai Village”, watch parrots, gorillas, chimpanzees, penguins and other animals in the themed areas of Loro Park. The aquarium complex with glass tunnels, where marine life is kept, deserves special attention. While vacationing in Icod de los Vinos, tourists can add to the list of children’s attractions the Butterfly Museum, which contains about 800 insects in recreated tropical conditions, which differ from the usual moths and butterflies in bright colors or sizes.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The resort’s active recreation centers are huge water parks, which are among the largest in Europe. The Thai-style Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje, which has its own dolphinarium, are very close, in the vicinity of the Playa de la Americas resort.

Then you should visit a small town in Tenerife called San Miguel. In its vicinity, San Miguel Castle was built especially for the guests of the island. <h5> Teide National Park </h5> Perhaps there are no tourists who would have rested in Tenerife and have not visited the Teide National Park. The main attraction of the island attracts travelers from all over the world not only for its unique flora and fauna. <h5> Eagles Park </h5> In Tenerife, not far from the city of Las Americas, there is an amazing attraction that is definitely worth a visit, especially if you plan to relax on the island with the whole family. This place is called Eagles Park.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h5> Pyramids of Guimar </h5> If you are drawn to archaeological sites, while in Tenerife, be sure to visit the Pyramids of Guimar. Although these structures are not as ancient as the Egyptian ones, despite this, an excursion to the Spanish pyramids will turn out to be no less exciting and informative. <h5> Aqualand in Tenerife </h5> Aqualend Costa Adeje is Tenerife’s oldest water park. Now there is already an alternative – “Siam Park”, but it is more designed for extreme lovers, but “Aqualand” is perfect for parents with children. It’s quieter, cheaper, but the rides are not new anymore. <h5> Basilica Candelaria </h5> Of the religious sights of Tenerife, the Basilica of Candelaria deserves special mention. This Catholic church, located in the city of the same name, deserves to be visited. A high bell tower adjoins the temple, and beautiful and solemn decoration awaits visitors inside. <h5> Tenerife Botanical Garden </h5> The real name of the botanical garden on the island of Tenerife, located in the eastern part of the city of Puerte de la Cruz, is “La Orotava Acclimatization Garden”.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In the 18th century, the Spanish King Carlos III decided to arrange a tropical paradise in his Madrid residence. <h5> Icod de los Vinos </h5> Like La Orotava, Icod de los Vinos is a typical old Canarian town dating back to the 16th century thanks to the Spaniards, with traditional architecture, rather imposing mansions, several churches and of course wooden balconies. <h5> Laurel forests in Tenerife </h5> Laurisilva laurel forest in Tenerife evokes a long series of magical fantasy associations in a person with at least some developed imagination. Fog, prehistoric trees, intertwining branches above your head like the vault of a mysterious forest cathedral, garlands of lush green moss hanging from them. <h5> Loro Park in Tenerife </h5> Loro Parque – “Parrot Park”, but it would be a mistake to think that everything here is limited to parrots. In this amusement park in the suburbs of Puerto de la Cruz, on an area of more than 13 hectares, you can see a huge variety of animals and plants.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h5> Tenerife History Museum </h5> Tenerife has a rich history with a myriad of mysteries. The philosopher Plato considered it to be part of the lost Atlantis – the culture of the Guanches tribes even before the Spanish invasion was in many ways similar to the culture of the tribes of Latin America. <h5> Cape Teno </h5> Cape Teno is a mesmerizing place that is extremely difficult to reach but impossible to forget. The northwestern tip of Tenerife is practically unfamiliar to tourists, and this beauty of it is appreciated daily by a couple of dozen daredevils who left convenient beaches for a while. <h5> Teide Observatory </h5> Visitors to the Teide observatory find themselves above the clouds due to its location on the side of a high mountain, which creates an amazing feeling. Several white buildings with a futuristic look, surrounded by the natural beauties of the Teide Park and the clouds – this alone deserves attention. <h5> Orotava </h5> The city of Orotava was founded by the Spaniards at the beginning of the 16th century, but long before that, the Guanches had lived on this site for many centuries.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Orotava (or La Orotava) is located in a beautiful valley with rich soil in the northern part of Tenerife, and the settlers were attracted here by good agricultural conditions. <h5> Tenerife Monkey Park </h5> Monkey Park is not the most popular in Tenerife (at least compared to Loro Park and Siam Park). But if you love lemurs, you should definitely visit here. Plus, the pleasant difference between the monkey park and the parrot park is that in the first one you can communicate with the animals very close. <h5> Wind Cave </h5> The main feature of Tenerife, like other Canary Islands, is its volcanic origin. For many, acquaintance with the seismically active past of the archipelago is limited to reclining on black tuff sand and traveling along mountain serpentines of ancient slopes. <h5> Plaza de España in Santa Cruz de Tenerife </h5> All sightseeing tours of Santa Cruz de Tenerife start from Plaza de España. It is called the main one on the island because of the size and the building of the Municipality located here.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The Plaza de España appeared in 1929 near the fortress of San Cristobal, the ruins of which can still be seen. <h5> Siam Park Tenerife </h5> Siam Park in Tenerife is the island’s main water amusement park. It is located in Costa Adeje, close to the popular resorts of Las Americas and Los Cristianos. The territory of the park occupies almost 19 hectares, and the princess of Thailand herself was present at its grand opening. <h5> Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Tenerife </h5> The Spanish conquistadors, who first landed on Tenerife, to confirm their power over the Guanches, built a Catholic chapel on the shore and installed the Holy Cross on it. In Spanish, the “holy cross” sounds like “santa cruz”, which is where the name of the city came from, in the future – the capital of the island. Tenerife is one of those places that can be described as “heaven on earth”. Here you can not only have a good rest from the hustle and bustle of city life, but also spend time usefully by visiting local attractions.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The first thing you will be offered to see on the island is, most likely, the Teide Wildlife Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature lovers will appreciate this place: an incomparable landscape created by rare plant species in the crater of the volcano, Canarian cedars growing on the cliffs, and, of course, the crater of the dormant volcano itself. A cable car and hiking trails lead to the highest point in Spain, a walk along which makes it possible to fully enjoy the flora and fauna of this unforgettable place. Don’t deny yourself the pleasure, visit the Jungle Park, located in the south of the island. The name of the park speaks for itself: most of it is really occupied by the jungle, where more than 500 animals live. Here you can see lions and tigers, watch cougars and meet monkeys. Exotic and predatory birds fly freely in the park, the park staff will tell you in detail about them. Auditorio de Tenerife is considered to be one of the main attractions of the Canary Islands and the symbol of the city of Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The building itself, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is unique in the form of a wave. Inside the building is divided into several halls: a symphony hall, a chamber hall, a hall and a port gallery. The halls of this unusual place host chamber music concerts, opera performances and dance shows. Visiting the pyramids will be no less interesting. Not only in Egypt you can see this wonder of the world, but also on the island. In the city of Guimar in the south of Tenerife, there are six step pyramids, unwittingly created by local farmers. Digging up the ground, they bumped into stones and piled them together. This practice was very popular on the island, but most of these wonderful buildings were demolished by the inhabitants out of perceived uselessness. Be sure to visit the Pueblo Chico Miniature Park. This fabulous place covers an area of 20 thousand square meters, where miniatures of the best architectural monuments of the Canary Islands and the most picturesque places of the island are presented.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The museum will be especially interesting for children: many miniatures are accompanied by original music, to which they move. <h3> Attractions Tenerife </h3> The island of Tenerife pleases not only with beautiful nature and mild climate, but also with an abundance of interesting sights.

WALK THE GOLDEN MILE IN LAS AMERICAS The South of Tenerife differs significantly from the North. In the south of the island it is hotter, more sun and a real resort atmosphere.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Most tourists choose this part of the island to sunbathe during the day and go to bars and restaurants in the evening. The epicenter of parties and courage is on the Golden Mile in Las Americas. So the 2nd item on our list of significant things to do will be walking along the noisy and carefree street of the main resort of the island. It is worth noting that the city has no clear boundaries. It has long been intertwined with its neighbors: Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. And these places are also not for those who like a quiet secluded vacation. SWIMMING WITH GRINDING GROUNDS ALONG THE SHORE OF LOS GIGANTES 3rd item. Boat trip along the cliffs hanging over the ocean and meeting with local marine life. The picturesque resort village of Los Gigantes is famous for the fact that pilot whales, or pilot whales, live off its coast. They are not as huge as we used to think, but only about 5-6 meters in length. Outwardly, they are very similar to dolphins, which often accompany whales.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> To see how the fins cut through the surface of the water, you need to book a boat trip. You can do this directly at the port or at any travel company, not only in Los Gigantes, but also in southern resorts, as well as via the Internet.

TREKKING IN THE GORGE To complete the 4th point, you will have to drive along a winding serpentine road to the secluded mountain village of Maska.

According to Tripadvisor Tenerife water park is the best in the world! And, of course, there are reasons for this. Almost all the slides of the park are inscribed in the natural hilly terrain, and due to the lush vegetation, the sight of the technical structures of the attractions does not hurt the eyes of visitors. About the well-coordinated work of the staff and excellent service, we think, there is no need to remind. We only note that all the slides, although there are not so many of them, are brought to perfection, both in terms of impressions and in terms of design. What is worth only a 28-meter slide Tower of Power, popularly known as “Kamikaze”, where the daredevil, accelerating almost vertically to 80 km / h, rushes through an aquarium with real sharks!

Here they stay for several nights to meet the sunrises, see off the sunsets and admire the stars at night. One thing is for sure – you should dress warmly. Even on the hottest days at the foot of the volcano, the temperature can be 10-15 ° C, not to mention its top. By the way, you can climb it using the cable car. To do this, you will have to buy a ticket in advance or on the spot.

If you follow our recommendation and drive diagonally across the island, the road will take you to the old capital of Tenerife. This is a unique city built in the Late Middle Ages without defensive walls and towers. The complex terrain took over the entire protective function from enemies. The city is located in a valley where once there was a lake among high mountains. For several centuries, it collected all the charms of the civilized world and practically did not collapse.

SEE THE BACK SIDE OF TENERIFE Breaking through the fog of the magical forest, shaggy green hills and the village of Taganaga open up. This is the other side of Tenerife. Spring always reigns here and smells of freshness. Having taken plenty of pictures, we go further, to the 11th point, to a place that completely and completely conveys the spirit of the Canary Islands, their primitiveness. This is the wild beach of Benijo. There is black volcanic sand, bare rocks and huge waves that do not forgive the mistakes of novice surfers. Swimming on this beach, you need to be extremely careful and careful. But on the other hand, having been here, we can say with confidence that I saw the real Tenerife!

Not all tourists arriving on the island know about Guacincha. In simple terms, we are talking about taverns for locals, where homemade wine and snacks are served. And for a visitor, this means one thing – you can cheaply and tasty eat interesting and unusual food. These establishments do not have permanent addresses. They only work when there is wine for sale. And they can open anywhere: in a garage, hangar or barn. Similar places are found only in the north-west of the island, where Malvasia grapes are grown.

You can get acquainted with the volcano and its surroundings on the observation deck, which is located at an altitude of 3555 meters . It is almost always crowded here, because there are a lot of people who want to admire the Canary Islands. Do you want to take a risk? Then it is better to leave early in order to have time to conquer a new peak for yourself without queues. <h3> Loro Parque </h3> Entertainment here for a whole week, or even more.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Great option for adults and kids.

All exhibits were previously found on the territory of Tenerife and the adjacent Canary archipelago. In addition to exhibits, there is a library that contains rare copies of books, scientific papers and manuscripts.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h3> Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary </h3> The Holy Cross of the Conquistadors, dated XV century , is preserved on the territory of the temple. The significance of this temple is of great importance for the entire population of the island and emphasizes their attitude to the Orthodox faith. This is what gave rise to the name “Mother Church”. Previously, it was called the “Church of the Holy Cross”. <h3> Wind Cave </h3> A very unusual underground part of the island. According to experts, caves more than 27 thousand years . Thanks to the eruption of lava, dozens of passages were formed, which now serve as a passage for tourists. Wind Cave includes many stone cascades, equipped terraces and even lava lakes. Not the best place for hypertensive patients, since the pressure here differs from that above. In general, a rather informative place where the riot of nature is really presented in its purest manifestation.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h3> Rocks of Los Gigantes </h3> Another attraction associated with the previously described volcano Teide. Only this time we are talking about western slope . When viewed from the sea, it resembles a giant sheer wall. Very close is the city of Los Gigantes, which includes several beaches, where instead of the usual sand there is a volcanic embankment. Despite such beauty, there are not many vacationers here. <h3> Pools El Caleton </h3> Approximately in the 18th century, a meeting of two elements took place here: fire and water. So, hot lava and cold ocean water gave birth to natural pools, later called El Caleton. The tide fills the pools with water and it becomes possible to swim in them. After some time, the niches were equipped with a more convenient descent, so there were more tourists here. <h3> Las Vistas Beach </h3> This is an extremely popular place, which is wildly popular not only with visitors, but also with locals.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> There are always many visitors and little free space. However, everything could be different, since the territory is subject to the influence of the strongest waves and currents, but thanks to a special construction, now swimming in the water has become absolutely safe.

For people with disabilities there is everything you need for movement and comfortable rest. <h2> What to see in Tenerife? </h2> Overview of Tenerife attractions: what to see on your own? We also tell you how to get to them and how much it costs to visit interesting places on the island. <hr/> Tenerife is an island of the Canary archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, one of the most famous corners of the planet. Amazingly beautiful flora and fauna, volcanic landscapes and black sand beaches, mild climate – it is not for nothing that this place is called the Island of Eternal Spring.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The question of what to see in Tenerife should be approached with exceptional seriousness – first we recommend visiting the iconic natural and historical sights, and only then, if there is time, proceed to explore the rest, because there are so many interesting places on the island that you can cover them all it just won’t work in a short amount of time. The island is able to please and surprise any tourist – numerous architectural monuments and unique natural resources contribute to this. Tenerife has something to see for both adults and children. In addition to a beach holiday, there is a rich excursion program, as well as great opportunities for independent exploration of the island. We advise you to explore the local beauties on a rented car, as buses do not run everywhere – in this case, you will be able to explore much more of the island’s attractions. The average rental price is 45-50 euros per day. Nevertheless, the island has a well-developed bus network, you can find bus numbers and timetables here.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h4> Teide National Park </h4> Perhaps there are no tourists who would not visit this truly amazing place. Here is the most famous volcano of the island – Teide, attraction number 1, what you need to see in Tenerife. Its height is 3.7 thousand meters; when climbing the volcano, you can see breathtaking landscapes. Around – a landscape of solidified lava and rock formations of bizarre shapes, including the famous rock Roques de Garcia. The best time to visit the park is in the morning by bus (No. 342) or by rented car. There is a good asphalt road up to the mark of 2356 m, then you can go up by funicular or on foot. The cable car is almost always open from 9until 16, sometimes closed in winter. The cost of tickets for the funicular is 27 euros (round trip), it is convenient to order them on the website telefericoteide.com, so as not to stand in lines – rides on the funicular are very popular among tourists. When booking online from 14:00 to 16:00 you can get a 10% discount.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It is advisable to take a jacket or windbreaker, it is cool at the height. To continue climbing to the crater of the volcano (the last 163 m), you need to book a pass in advance on the site reservasparquesnacionales.es (this site can also get permission to visit other parks). The permit is free, it must be printed and presented, otherwise they will not let you in (you also need to have a passport or a photocopy of it with you). Climbing the volcano is quite difficult and requires good physical preparation. (Photo: Josevi11 / flickr.com / CC BY-SA 2.0) <h4> Natural parks </h4> What to see in Tenerife with children? Tourists like to visit numerous parks. Each park is magnificent in its own way. Animal shows are organized especially for visitors. Most famous: Loro parque, Jungle park, Monkey park, Siam park. There are many gorillas and lemurs in Monkey park. Siam park arranges incredible attractions for visitors. Parrots of all colors and types can be seen in Loro parque.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The most popular Loro parque (parrot park) is located in the city of Puerto de la Cruz, you can get there by bus or car. Entrance fees: 34 euros for adults, 23 euros for children, for 58 euros you can purchase a twin ticket with the right to visit two parks Loro and Siam. <h4> Lunar Landscape </h4> The true Lunar Landscape (Paisaje Lunar) can be seen outside the mountain range that skirts the Las Cañadas caldera from the south. The bizarre landscape is formed from rocks of volcanic tuff, which the wind and water grind and grind, creating unique patterns and outlines. The place is small, but invariably attracts fans of the original photo shoot. You can get there by car to the town of Vilaflor, drive through it, after 2 km there will be an exit to a dirt road marked with an information board. Having turned, drive another 7 km, then park the car and, guided by the signs, walk another 3 km on foot. (Photo: penjelly / flickr.com / CC BY-ND 2.0) <h4> Black Beaches </h4> Tenerife’s amazing black sand beaches owe their origin to local volcanoes.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The color of the sand varies from gray to deep black. The sand heats up very strongly – it is believed that it has healing properties. It is better not to wear light-colored swimsuits. The best black beaches on the island are Playa de la Arena in Puerto Santiago and Playa Benijo in Anaga. The most convenient way to get to these places is by car. <h4> Masca Gorge </h4> The Masca Gorge is one of the most unusual places to see in Tenerife. The original village of Masca is located near Santiago del Teide. The road to the village is very dangerous – a narrow mountain serpentine. A few decades ago there was not even such a road, the villagers got to civilization on foot. The main attraction of the place is a deep gorge that leads directly to the ocean. To go down to the rocky beach, you will need comfortable shoes, a supply of water and patience – the descent takes several hours. There is a pier on the beach, where a boat from Las Gigantes periodically comes, so the best way to get to Masca is by taxi, after parking your car in Las Gigantes.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Regular buses also run: first you need to get to Santiago del Teide, and then transfer to the bus to the village of Masca (No. 355). A boat ticket costs about 10 euros per person, it runs until 4 pm, a taxi from Las Gigantes to Masca will cost 25 euros. Related article: How to have a good rest in Spain in winter?

Thousands of tourists visit the place every year to take pictures under a giant “umbrella”. You can stand at the roots of the relic for 5 euros. </h4> <h4> Hell’s Gorge </h4> We recommend that you visit Tenerife’s Hell’s Gorge Nature Reserve (Barranco del Infierno) with the only waterfall on the island – it is located near the famous Las Americas resort behind the village of Adeje, at the end of Calle los Molinos. The height of the waterfall is 560 m. There is very picturesque nature around: ridges covered with tropical plants, interesting rock formations.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Entrance to the territory costs 3 – 4 euros, allowed only in the first half of the day (from 8 to 14:30) no more than 300 people a day, closing – at 18:00. A three-hour walking route has been developed for visitors, which starts in Adeje. To visit the reserve, you must register in advance. The trail is quite easy, but in some places dangerous (there were even accidents due to which it was closed twice), so it is recommended to wear comfortable non-slip shoes, have hats and a supply of water.

In the shops of the town you can buy souvenirs of the corresponding theme. <h4> Tenerife architectural monuments </h4> What else to see in Tenerife? Of course, you should not deprive the attention of the architectural monuments of the island. The main attractions of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife are concentrated in the old quarter near the port. Here stands the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the Black Fort, the Church of Francis of Assisi and the Paso Alto Fort, all of which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> On the east coast of the island is the small seaside town of Candelaria. Periodically, thousands of pilgrims flock here to venerate the Blessed Virgin of Candelaria at the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria. In the 14th century, a statue of the Mother of God washed up here, and the locals installed it in a coastal cave as a shrine. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was again washed into the ocean. Now in the Basilica there is a statue of the Madonna by Fernando Estevez, and the church portal is decorated with the image of the Black Madonna.

The Canary Islands are a unique archipelago with unusual nature, so many travelers come here to see the natural beauty of this corner of the earth. Here you can see a volcano and gorges, green mountains and caves, banana plantations and pine forests, palm trees and cacti, as well as flowers and plants that you will not find anywhere else in wildlife. Due to the mountain range, Tenerife is divided into 2 parts: southern and northern. In the south, the climate is warmer and drier. The north of the island is humid and cool. Traveling in Tenerife by car or bus, you can see how dramatically the weather outside the window changes in 15-30 minutes: it was just sunny, and now you are surrounded by thick clouds, it starts to rain, and after another 20 minutes you admire the sky again luminary. It is also interesting to watch the landscape change: just now you were driving among the brown hills, and now the mountains turn green, nature becomes brighter and more beautiful.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Tenerife is called a continent in miniature because of the variety of its climate. Having been on this island, you seem to visit several different countries with landscapes that are unlike one another. Each person will have their own idea of the largest Canary Island. And I will tell you about those places that struck me and make me return to them again and again. <h3> </h3> TEIDE VOLCANO and Las Cañadas del Teide National Park </h3> Half an hour before landing at Tenerife South Airport I saw the island through the plane window. Among the clouds slowly floating above it, a huge mountain towered – the Teide volcano. From above, it could be seen in all its glory (from the ground, the volcano is visible from many points in Tenerife only in clear weather). View of the Teide volcano and Tenerife from the plane Teide is the main attraction of the island, because Tenerife itself consists of 3 volcanoes that rose millions of years ago from the ocean depths.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The height of Teide above sea level is 3718 meters, another 3782 meters of the volcano are hidden under water. To see the main “mountain” of the island, head to Las Cañadas del Teide National Park, where it is located. Here you can not only take pictures against the backdrop of the volcano, but also climb its slope by cable car. To reach the top of Teide and look into its largest crater, you need to book a place in advance, 2 months before the intended trip. You can do it on the official website, by following the link . Teide Volcano in Las Cañadas del Teide National Park The area of Las Cañadas del Teide National Park will also delight nature lovers. There is little that reminds us of our planet. Fantastic landscapes seem to take you to Mars or the Moon. Extraterrestrial landscapes around Mount Teide Unusual shrubs and flowers enhance the impression, many of which grow only here, for example, tahinaste.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> This plant blooms only two months a year: April and May. The rose-red “turrets” of tahinaste create a contrast with the reddish lava fields. Tajinaste – endemic to the island of Tenerife I was most impressed by the rocks of Roques del Garcia, around which hiking trails are laid. It is impossible to take your eyes off the orange slopes of these stone idols, the shape of which is created by nature itself: the winds freely walking here and the bright rays of the sun. Rocks of Roques de Garcia (The rock in the center is called Cinchado or Finger of God) In the National Park, you will also be amazed by the Valley of the Moon, a huge field surrounded by brown rocks and famous for shooting scenes for their Hollywood blockbusters here. Valley of the Moon in the National Park Las Cañadas del Teide <h3> </h3> DRAGON TREE – EL DRAGO </h3> There are many unusual plants on the island. For example, on the streets of cities you can see trees with blue and red flowers and parks of cacti growing on volcanic earth.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> But Tenerife is more famous for Dracaena draco or dragon tree. The ancient inhabitants of the island revered this plant, considering it sacred. Its dark red resin was used by them for medicinal purposes. The resin was called dragon’s blood, and the tree itself was called dragon’s. In Tenerife, dragon trees can be found in different towns and villages, but all travelers tend to see the island’s main dracaena – El Drago. In 1991, it was declared the plant symbol of Tenerife. The oldest dragon tree (El Drago) in Tenerife grows in Icod de los Vinos El Drago is the oldest dragon tree in the Canary archipelago. It grows in the town of Icod de los Vinos in the north of the island. Scientists suggest that the age of dracaena is from 800 to several thousand years. The tree represents dozens of trunks intertwined with each other, over which a dense dark green crown spreads. The height of El Drago is 18 meters, the diameter of the trunk is 20 meters. The Dragon Tree is located on the territory of the Drago Milenario Park, where you can see other unusual plants and get acquainted with the rites of the island.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Tenerife Dragon Tree – view from the El Drago Museum Icod de los Vinos is famous for making wine called malvasia for its divine taste. On the Day of the Canary Islands, June 30, when I visited the town, there was a holiday here: tastings of wines, cheeses and traditional Tenerife sauces were held everywhere, you could also visit several museums for free, including the Malvasia Museum, and listen to Canarian music. Celebration in the town of Icod de los Vinos at the Museum of Malvasia, dedicated to the Day of the Canary Islands <h3> </h3> MOUNTAINS ANAGA (Parque Rural de Anaga) </h3> Many tourists coming to the south of Tenerife or visiting Mount Teide characterize the island as a brown desert with bare hills scattered over it. Indeed, in the southern part of the island, the climate is drier, and it leaves its mark on the nature of Tenerife. The predominant colors here are all shades of brown. Hills outside Los Cristianos in the south of Tenerife If you want to see another Tenerife, green and mysterious, head to the northeast of the island, to the mountains of Anaga, to understand what the island looked like thousands of years ago.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The climate of this part of Tenerife is cooler and more humid. Thanks to him, a unique flora has been preserved here since prehistoric times, which you will not see anywhere else on Earth. The fantastic forests of Anaga The Anaga Mountains have been declared a natural park. You can come here from the city of La Laguna and go along the winding routes, the chain of which is entangled in the mountain range. You will undoubtedly be amazed by the laurel forest or laurisilva. The crowns of the trees are intertwined in a dense tent over the paths and look unusual. Laurisilva – Laurel forests of Tenerife In foggy weather, it is gloomy and damp here. You walk along narrow paths among unusual vegetation and imagine that millions of years ago dinosaurs roamed among exactly the same laurels, the ancestors of these plants. Winding paths lead all travelers through the humid laurel forests of the Rural de Anaga park Giant ferns, moss-covered rocks, and the absence of people nearby enhance the impression.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In fact, a lot of people come to the park, but everyone goes on different routes, and you find yourself completely alone. In addition to laurel trees, there are beautiful coniferous forests here, which are already more fun to walk around, because above your head you see the sky, and not bizarrely curved branches. Many endemics grow here, the names of which you will not find in a textbook on botany. You can walk endlessly in the Anaga Mountains on the island of Tenerife People come to Anaga Park to enjoy the magnificent landscapes that open up from hills and passes. Mountains are always delightful, but when they surround you from all sides, and you conquer one green ridge after another, emotions overwhelm.

A walk to the mountain along narrow paths laid along the tops of the ridges will be remembered by me for a lifetime. Taborno peak the highest point of the Anaga mountains Only the mountains of Tenerife can be better than mountains <h3> </h3> ROCKS LOS GIGANTES (Acantilado de los Gigantes) </h3> The small town of Los Gigantes or Los Gigantes, as the locals call it, is located in the west of Tenerife. It can be easily reached from Los Cristianos and Puerto de la Cruz by public transport or rental car . The town has a small port from which sightseeing boats depart daily with tourists dreaming of seeing dolphins and whales. In the opposite direction, boats are returning, carrying travelers who have passed through the Mask Gorge to the ocean. Acantilado de los Gigantes and the port in the west of Tenerife The main natural attraction of the city is the giant cliffs of Acantilado de los Gigantes, rising from the ocean to a height of 500 to 800 m.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> They look like the backs of giants (giants) who lowered their heads into the Atlantic to quench your thirst. The cliffs rise vertically and are the most sheer cliffs in Europe, for which they are listed in the Guinness Book of Records. You can look at them for a long time and admire the changing colors playing on their slopes. But it is best here in the evenings, when you can enjoy the magnificent sunset, gilding the giants with its rays. You can also see the rocks using online webcam Tenerife on my website. View of the cliffs of Los Gigantes from the observation deck At the foot of the cliffs is Los Guios beach. It is so good to swim here, looking at the natural landmark and marveling at its beauty. <h3> </h3> BLACK BEACHES TENERIFE </h3> Tenerife’s black sand beaches are a surprise to inexperienced travelers. It seems that this is the ground, sitting on which you will smear your clothes. But no. The beach cover, consisting of small grains of lava with greenish inclusions of the mineral olivine, sticks only to a wet body.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Then, crumbling from it, does not leave any traces of dirt. And walking on a black coating is comfortable: it is soft and warm. Volcanic sand from Jardin black beach in the palm of my hand There are several black sand beaches in Tenerife. The most famous of them – La Arena is located near the town of Los Gigantes. But I did not manage to visit it (I saw it from the bus window when I was passing by). But I visited several northern beaches of the island. This part of Tenerife has the most black sand areas. Playa Jardin (Jardin or Jardin Beach) is located in the city of Puerto de la Cruz. It was designed by designer Cesar Manrique and looks very picturesque because of the green palm alleys framing it from several sides. Near the beach on the shore is the ancient fortress of San Felipe, unique in that it is the only building in the Spanish colonial style on the island. You can learn more about this beach by clicking on the link. There are also many photos and videos of Playa Hardin.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> View of the Atlantic Ocean and Jardin Beach in Tenerife in the morning There are also black sand beaches in the east of Tenerife, for example, in the city of Candelaria. You can swim there only in good weather, because they are not protected from the Atlantic by breakwaters. On windy days, giant waves crash against the shore with force. Beach in Candelaria, Tenerife. The ocean is raging The nature of the island of Tenerife is striking in its diversity. Not all sights were visited. But I hope to see them on my next visit, when I continue to explore this amazing island. What impressed you the most in Tenerife? What famous natural attractions would you like to see? Leave comments below the article. To all those who are just planning to relax on the Canary Island, I wish not to sit still, but to discover its new corners and catch wonderful emotions from their beauty. <h2> What to see in Tenerife: sights of the island </h2> Tenerife is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, the largest island of the Canary archipelago with exotic landscapes and a European level of comfort.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It is always summer here, so at any time of the year tourists come here to visit the numerous beaches, get acquainted with colonial architecture and tropical nature. Alexandra Tveritina Traveler <ul/> In Tenerife, be sure to visit the local beaches, amusement parks and the center of the island – the Teide volcano. I will tell you about the cities and natural attractions of the island separately. What to see in Tenerife The main natural attraction of Tenerife is the Teide volcano and the reserve that surrounds it. In addition to it, I recommend visiting three unusual places created by nature. In the south-west of Tenerife, along the ocean, there are sheer volcanic cliffs of Los Gigantes, with a height of 300 to 600 meters. The Guanches (the people who lived in Tenerife before it was conquered by the Spaniards) called these rocks the “Devil’s Wall”.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You can look at them from the observation deck of the city of Los Gigantes or from the ocean. Los Gigantes cliffs from the viewpoint The road to this village is the narrowest and winding on the island. It was built only in the middle of the 20th century; earlier, Maska could only be reached along mountain paths. 120 people live in the village, mostly descendants of the Guanches, who at one time hid in the valley from the Spaniards. On the way to the village, there are viewpoints that offer views of the Masca Gorge, the Los Gigantes Mountains, the ocean and the neighboring island of La Gomera. From the village to the ocean there is a popular 5 km tourist route through the gorge, caves and black sand beaches. Mountain road to Masca This mountain range in the northeast of Tenerife is over 7 million years old. The maximum height of the mountains is 1024 m. Relic forests have been growing here since the Ice Age. Such ancient forests with a large number of rare plant species can only be seen in Madeira and the Canaries and Azores.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Santa Cruz de Tenerife was a port village until 1723, when La Laguna was the capital of the island, and now it is the largest port city of Tenerife and one of the two capitals of the Canary Islands. The second capital, Canary, appeared in 1927. Since then, every four years, the capital status is transferred from Santa Cruz to the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and vice versa. Together with the capital, the government of the Canary Islands also moves. In St. Croix – more than 220 thousand inhabitants. Every year in February, the city hosts the Carnival, the second in the world in terms of popularity and scale after Rio de Janeiro. Plaza de España, the largest square in the Canary archipelago, is located in the center of the city. It is already 90 years old. In the center of the square is the Monument to the Fallen in the Civil War and a large fountain with sea water. The modern building of the concert hall was built in 2003 and outwardly resembles the famous opera in Sydney.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It has a chamber hall with a capacity of 422 spectators and a symphony hall with 1616 seats.

The statue of Our Lady of Candelaria, the patroness of the Canary Islands, is kept here, to which more than two million pilgrims come every year. The main relic of the Basilica is a copy of the statue of the Black Virgin Mary. According to legend, the statue was washed away by the ocean as early as 1390, when only the Guanches lived on the island and they began to worship it.

Dragon Tree <h2> What can you see in Tenerife? Attractions, beautiful places, tips. </h2> <blockquote> Those very Canary Islands, which they like to cite as an example, mentioning a great vacation, are made up of seven magnificent atolls, the largest of which is Tenerife – and the most beautiful. But this beauty is fundamentally different from standard tropical places like the Maldives. The volcanic origin has given the archipelago incredible ethereal landscapes, and a rich history has left a myriad of traces.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> So, if the beach is suddenly bored – it will be very easy to deal with the question of what else to see on a trip to Tenerife. </blockquote> Contents <ul> <li> 1 How to walk around Tenerife? </li> <li> 2 Volcanic passions of Teide </li> <li> 3 Lemurs, killer whales and lush greenery </li> <li> 4 Cosmic landscapes </li> <li> 5 Earthly beauties </li> <li> 6 Historical places </li> </ul> <h3> How to walk around Tenerife? </h3> There are so many excursions on the island that it’s time to lose your head choosing which ones you like the most.

Now, of course, he is sleeping, and the last time he woke up was more than a hundred years ago. But his past was more than enough to form a natural luxury around him from lava flows, bizarre rocks and cosmic endemic plants. He also owns the miracle rock Roques de Garcia, which also resembles an extraterrestrial ship. Teide Volcano The volcano is part of the National Park of the same name, where buses run well, route 342. You can easily go to the foot by car, up to a height of 2.5 km there is an asphalt road. Further, the ascent is accessible both on foot and by the new funicular. The latter comes to life at 9 am and then carries visitors continuously for 7 hours for 27 € with delivery back.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> This type of ascent is very popular with visitors, and a ticket ordered in advance on the site will save you from the queue. Daytime bookings (from 2pm to 4pm) receive a 10% discount. 200 meters in front of the crater, you will have to put on something warm, it can be cold upstairs, there is snow, and you also need to present a special permit. It sounds strict, but it’s not worth getting it, you just order a free printout on a special website, and a copy of your passport is added to it, you can just show the original. It is not recommended to go to the crater itself with children or those with poor health; proven physical training is needed here. <h3> Lemurs, killer whales and lush greenery </h3> Tenerife Atoll has plenty of relaxing places to visit with your child. These are natural parks. They are scattered all over the place, and the most touristy ones are: <ul> <li> Loro-Pargue, Loro Zoo Park, Puerto Delacruz, 37€/adult; </li> <li> Jungle-Park, Jungle Park, Arona, €30/adult; </li> <li> Siam-Park, the huge Siam water park in Costa Adeje, €35/adult; </li> <li> Camel-Park, Camel Farm, Arona, €5/adult/admission, €10/adult/skating; </li> <li> Monkey-Park, Monkey Garden, Arona, 10€/adult </li> </ul> Lemurs Quiet, filled with small animals, especially lemurs, guinea pigs, birds, various monkeys, those who wish are allowed to hand-feed.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> If you arrive before lunch, lemurs and small primates that have not yet had enough are very active and sociable, delighting children (Monkey Park). Large parks are filled with lush greenery with shade, large attractions (Siam Park), live shows – performances of killer whales, penguins, fur seals (Loro Park), exotic parrots fly around (Loro Park). It will not work to fit all the delights in one description, you must definitely participate yourself. Jungle Park received high reviews, for a lower price the zoo is almost as good as Loro, but it is freer in terms of an overabundance of people. The camel farm is very popular with children. Green menagerie parks are a must see in Tenerife if you want to break away from the ordinary. At the airport, discount coupons for visiting them are often given out, you don’t need to refuse them, and prices take into account different ages of children – the younger the child, the cheaper the ticket. There are also twin tickets for services. For example, a single Loro + Siam pass or a double ticket in Camel Park for skiing and a delicious lunch.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Rates fluctuate throughout the year. <h3> Space landscapes </h3> This type of attraction is easy to see in Tenerife on your own and without paying. The first one is the Martian landscape. In the Teide National Reserve there is a place called Las Cañadas, which can be easily reached by car following clear signs, then you will have to walk a couple of kilometers. The red-yellow rocky-desert surface of the opening caldera takes the guest directly to Mars, familiar from photographs. Martian landscape in the Teide National Park The second cosmic landscape opens when you go around the caldera from the south side. Then the mountain range reveals a landscape reminiscent of the desert territories of the moon. This is due to the volcanic nature of the area. Tufa, frozen lakes of lava, wind, water freely sculpt cosmic landscapes over a large area. For photo shoots, the places are unique. Lunar landscape in the Teide park Another unearthly view to visit in Tenerife is possible in any case, even if you don’t try.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Because these landscapes are found everywhere here. If vacationers are lured to the Philippine or Maldivian coasts by the dazzling white sand of the beaches, then the famous Tenerife beach sand is gray or jet black. Tenerife beach with black sand This sand is heated quite strongly, and then gives off heat to the human body, healing it from long-standing ailments. The views of such lands are truly cosmic. Today’s Best Black Coasts: <ul> <li> Playa Benijo, Anaga; </li> <li> Playa Delaarena, Puerto Santiago. </li> </ul> <blockquote> Of course, it is better not to use bright beach clothes with them. By the way, if black sand is not to your liking, then a completely traditional beach holiday is perfectly organized in the Las Americas resort with coasts filled with imported high-quality yellow sand. </blockquote> <h3> Earthly beauties </h3> There are places to go in Tenerife for simple, earthly landscapes. Mask Gorge and the village of the same name in its lower reaches attract hundreds of tourists who want to touch the ancient past along with the pristine nature.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The gorge goes straight to the ocean, and a narrow, winding path in the mountains leads to the village. The settlement itself has retained the atmosphere of the Canarian past, but several restaurants and souvenir shops are in store for guests. Many descend from the village to the ocean on foot for several hours, from where until 4 pm for 10 € you can sail on a boat to the nearest Las Gigantes. Village (gorge) Masca Another luxurious place for unity with nature is the gorge-valley of Barrango del Inferno (Hell’s). There is a waterfall rich in views, it is the only one on the atoll. Very close to Las Americas and Costa Adeje, the brightest island resorts. Around the lush tropical nature, rocks, hiking trails. In the valley, settlements of the ancient Guanches, the true inhabitants of the island, were found. Entrance to the reserve starts from 3 €, registration takes place in advance, the daily limit of passes is limited to 300 people, after half past two no one is allowed in.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> You can be on site from 8 am to 6 pm. It is better to wear comfortable shoes to the waterfall, something for your head, take drinking water. Barranco del infierno Nature-loving tourists will love the Dragon Tree in the Dragon Park, Icod Dedosvinos. The relic is at least a thousand years old, it is almost the height of a 9-storey building, and the girth of the trunk is at least 100 cm. A photo shoot with a giant mushroom dracaena costs 5 €. <h3> Historical places </h3> Of course, you can look at Tenerife not only natural wonders, but also historical monuments. It’s good to start from Pueblo Chico Park, where everything that is on the island is collected in a mock-up miniature, ticket 13 €. And then go to: <ol> <li> Castle-fortress San Miguel – knights’ tournaments, medieval feasts, wine on a tray. </li> <li> Old districts of Santa Cruz de Tenerife – whole blocks of old Spanish churches, forts, houses of the 16th-17th centuries. </li> <li> The city of Candelaria – miraculously in the XIV century, a statue of the Virgin sailed here from the ocean, and now the holy Basilica is decorated with a rare Black Madonna.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-1946" class="post-1946 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miscellaneous"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/miscellaneous/ventura-canary-islands-fuerteventura-island-island-canary-islands-spain.html">Ventura canary islands: Fuerteventura Island | island, Canary Islands, Spain</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: August 8, 2022 в 11:12 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/miscellaneous" rel="category tag">Miscellaneous</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>Fuerteventura, Canary Islands</h2> With a near perfect climate, average monthly temperatures ranging from 17°C in January to 25°C in August, over three thousand hours of sunshine a year and less than 150mm of rainfall, Fuerteventura is the winter sun destination. With close to 1.8 million tourists gracing its shores last year. Here is everything you need to know about the island for your stay in one of Fuerteventura’s villas. <h3>Fuerteventura’s geography</h3> The seven islands that make up the Canary Islands archipelago are Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. They stretch from east to west in a 500km arch. The island of Fuerteventura is the second-largest and measures 1660km2 (including the island of Los Lobos). Widely believed to the oldest of the Islands, having been the result of a volcanic eruption some 20 million years ago. The island can be divided up into two sections: la Maxorata and the Jandia Peninsula.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Most of the economic activity and nearly all the inhabitants live La Maxorata. The Jandia Peninsula is the arid, mountainous and windswept south. Its origins and location, less than 100kms from the Sahara have been instrumental in giving Fuerteventura its desert, almost lunar-like landscape. The prevailing easterly winds, blowing in from the Sahara have brought in all the fine white sand that makes up the spectacular beaches and sand dunes that the island is so famous for. The sand dunes of Corralejo, near one of the most well known and cosmopolitan of the island’s resorts, have now been designated a Natural Park, along with the island of Los Lobos. The waters off the coast are teeming with fish and is said to have some of the best diving and deep-sea fishing in Europe. Dolphins, marlins and whales are common sights. <h3>Beaches in Fuerteventura</h3> Fuerteventura is a prime destination for sun, beach and watersports enthusiasts. Blessed with the longest beaches in the Canaries and having no less than 152 of them along its 350kms of coastline.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/24/e8/21/24e821cfce6b996abc59d16cdcaadf2c.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/24/e8/21/24e821cfce6b996abc59d16cdcaadf2c.jpg' /></noscript> It offers every conceivable kind of beach. It is of little surprise that the island was selected for the prestigious Quality Coast International Certification award last year. From the hardcore windsurfing beaches in the north to the more quieter, secluded ones in the south. The choice is most definitely yours. The choice is also yours, whether or not to keep your kit on. Nudism is widely accepted on the island. Depending on sea and wind conditions, a good surfing spot one day, is a quiet/family beach, the next. And the island is small enough to drive and find whatever you are looking for in the day. Surfing hotspots include El Cotillo, Sotavento (home to the world kite surfing championships every August), Majanicho, La Caleta, Punta Blanca and Cofete – said to be a great beach for beginners. The postcard-perfect Corralejo, situated in the north of the island and stretching for six miles of fine golden sand is a firm favourite. And with a good reason. Looking at the picture below, it’s like stepping straight into the pages of a glossy travel magazine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/3e/90/88/3e908882df64f11abf514594b23d6d57.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/3e/90/88/3e908882df64f11abf514594b23d6d57.jpg' /></noscript> The paradisiacal island of Los Lobos is a mere ten minutes away by ferry from Corralejo. The carefully protected natural park is said to have the best snorkelling in the area. Combined with a quick walk up the island’s highest peak the Caldera de la Montana (127m), its another must-see when on holiday in Fuerteventura. <h3>Off the beaten track</h3> Fuerteventura isn’t all about beaches. The wild, untamed interior of the island offers some fantastic day trips and hidden rural getaways. The 600-year-old village of Betancuria was once the Fuerteventuran capital and is arguably the most picturesque village on the island. Located on a plain that is situated between volcanic mountains, the bougainvillaea draped whitewash buildings are a joy to behold. There are numerous other quaint Canarian villages scattered across the island. Places that have stood the test of time and ones that are far removed from the hustle and bustle of the coastal areas.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mirsg.ru/shared/upload/IMAGES/Directions/Yacht/Canaries/hierro.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mirsg.ru/shared/upload/IMAGES/Directions/Yacht/Canaries/hierro.jpg' /></noscript> In the north; Lajares and La Oliva & Villaverde are of note. The centre of the island is home to Antigua, Triquivijate, Tiscamanita & Casillas de Morales. Pájara is another highlight and home to the Jandia natural park. <h3>Goats, windmills and aloe vera</h3> The two most iconic Fuerteventuran motifs have to be goats and windmills. Its hard to believe that the harsh landscape is home to over a quarter million goats. But it is. And they thrive. Unfortunately often at the expense of the surrounding countryside. Erosion aside, Fuetreventura’s award-winning goat cheese is world-famous and with good reason. Majorero and Palmero cheeses are the ones to keep an eye out for.

The windswept island has always been ideal windmill country. Some of the older examples dating back over 200 years. Interestingly, traditional windmills are distinguished by gender. Molinas – the female windmills are one storey high, while their male counterparts – Molinos – are two storeys high. They were originally used for maize grinding to make the much-loved Canarian staple, gofio. The best examples are found near the island’s oldest village, Antigua. Aloe Vera is just about the only plant that can stand Fuerteventura’s harsh climate. It does so very successfully. Aloe Vera and its derivatives now make up an important part of the local economy. The species of Aloe Vera that thrives locally is the Barbadensis type. The one that is said to have almost magical healing qualities. Even Christopher Columbus was a fan and whilst in the Canaries, he stocked up his vessels with the plant.

Since the 1970s the island’s economy is obviously based on tourism, thanks to its pleasant climate and its many beaches of fine golden sand or pebbles – that would be the number 152 … – which were built of hotel facilities or vacation homes. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4">Music Fuerteventura</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Berlina majorera</td> <td>Folias antiguas</td> <td>Isa majorera</td> <td/></tr> <tr> <td>mp3 file player.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cheaptrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/12487191693_ee7795930b_b.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cheaptrip.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/12487191693_ee7795930b_b.jpg' /></noscript> </td> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td/></tr> <tr> <td>Malagueña tres tiempos</td> <td>Polca majorera</td> <td>Seguillas majoreras</td> <td/></tr> <tr> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td/></tr> <tr> <td>Siote majorero</td> <td>Sorondongo majorero</td> <td/> <td/></tr> <tr> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td>mp3 file player.</td> <td/> <td/></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td/></tr> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>The tourism office</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4">Airport Tourist Office: Open Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 21 pm.

The average annual temperature is 22 °C. These warm temperatures are due to the sirocco, the wind levante, hot wind from the Sahara. The temperature of the sea water is between 19 and 21 °C. The sunshine is 2800 hours per year. With less than 1000 m above sea level, the peak of Fuerteventura can not remember the clouds of the trade winds, and the annual rainfall is low: an average of 147 mm, the majority being of showers in winter. Fuerteventura is a very dry island with very little vegetation and very little water. In addition, at any time of the year, may occur the phenomenon of calima. During it, the sand brought by sirocco depress the visibility to 200 m or less and cause a sharp rise in temperatures of over 10 degrees. This sand blown over the sea, has formed an isthmus, Istmo de la Pared, located between the formerly separate islands of Maxorata and Jandía. These regular and moderate winds make Fuerteventura an ideal place to practice water sports: sailing, windsurfing and kite-surf.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/45/75/c1/4575c17a83425d905f8e5eadc689a739--corralejo-fall-in-love-with.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/45/75/c1/4575c17a83425d905f8e5eadc689a739--corralejo-fall-in-love-with.jpg' /></noscript> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>Weather</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The weather in Fuerteventura at the moment</td> </tr> <tr> <td/></tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>Air transport</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The international airport, El Matorral is located 4 km south of the capital, Puerto del Rosario.

WHICH CANARY ISLAND TO CHOOSE?</h2> Lanzarote or Fuerteventura? The Canary Islands are dream destinations for enjoying beaches, hiking, surfing, cycling, water sports, and so much more, all year round. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are located quite close to each other, but it doesn’t mean they are the same.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/reviewresorts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Pixabay-Canary-Islands-Fuerteventura-676941.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/reviewresorts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Pixabay-Canary-Islands-Fuerteventura-676941.jpg' /></noscript> Not sure which island in the Canaries you should visit?

The most amazing thing about the Canary Islands is that any time you come here, you will find the sunshine and eternal summer. In addition, there is no rainy season and high humidity like in the South East Asia that makes the climate there just perfect. I’ve been to the Canary Islands both in winter and in summer, and the temperature was very pleasant during all my visits: 22 °C (72 °F) – 28 °C (82 °F). If you need a dose of sun and you want to have fun time outdoors, the Canary Islands are the right place. This article focuses on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, but if you also want to learn about Tenerife, check out this blog.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/your_photos/002_2.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/your_photos/002_2.jpg' /></noscript> Let’s have a look at these two beautiful islands: What do you think? Fuerteventura looks gorgeous, right? Are you already feeling the breeze? 🙂 And here is her neighbor, Lanzarote! Which one is more beautiful? When I heard about the Canary Islands first time, I imagined it as a paradisiacal place. But when I was actually flying over it and watching in the window of the airplane, I saw something very different from the image of the paradise I had in my mind: there was almost no vegetation! (I must admit, in some places the islands looked rather post-apocalyptic than paradisiacal :)) On landing, I was keeping searching for the canary songbirds – I thought the Canary Islands were called this way because of the huge number of these cute yellow birds living there.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/001/066/208/wysiwyg/63827B63-4D0D-489F-BC56-81ABE3158259.jpeg?1523107640" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/001/066/208/wysiwyg/63827B63-4D0D-489F-BC56-81ABE3158259.jpeg?1523107640' /></noscript> Of course, I didn’t find any of them because there were even no trees. Despite this, I still managed to find a paradise there as it was a perfect escape from the noise and pollution of big cities into the pristine nature. The islands are spectacular and look totally surreal with their volcanic scenery! The reason number one for flying to the Canary Islands is, of course, the awesome beaches you will never forget! I was amazed by the wide sandy beaches in Morro Jable area of Fuerteventura. In the beginning, I was very annoyed by the strong winds there, but after a couple of days, I got used to it and actually started to like it as it was so refreshing in the hot hours. Please just make sure, you put enough of sunscreen and wear a hat as the wind accelerates tanning. You have a chance to get a sunburn very quickly! Every day I went to a different beach.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mtdata.ru/u17/photo3AE3/20136240648-0/original.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mtdata.ru/u17/photo3AE3/20136240648-0/original.jpg' /></noscript> My favorites are Playa de la Barca, an incredibly long Playa de Sotavento, and beaches in the area of the Parque Natural de Corralejo. The Sotavento beach actually consists of five beaches, and it is 9 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide in some places. In this area, you can bath in the shallow warm water of spectacular lagoons that change the shape due to tides. The golden dunes of Corralejo will leave you speechless if you stay here till the sunset. It’s a must-visit place in Fuerteventura for the lovers of spellbinding views. The beaches of Fuerteventura are the place where you will find peace, tranquility and where you can reconnect with yourself and with nature. They are not less gorgeous than in Fuerteventura, but most of them are black. And this is what makes them to stand out and capture your heart. I totally loved black volcanic sand beaches in Charco de los Clicos, Playa del Janubio and Playa El Paso.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/15/d5/4a/15d54a5b62e27bdf60643ae78f46c9ba--fuerteventura-canary-islands.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/15/d5/4a/15d54a5b62e27bdf60643ae78f46c9ba--fuerteventura-canary-islands.jpg' /></noscript> It’s just magnificent! Black sand beaches are the first picture I see in my mind when I think of Lanzarote. It’s not all black, though. White and golden sand beaches are waiting for you there, too. La Playa de Papagayo is a world famous beach with crystal clear turquoise water. It is hidden in a protected area called the Monumento Natural de Los Ajaches, so don’t expect any service on the beach that stays stay untouched as Mother Nature created it. There are no umbrellas and sunbeds available for rent. You have to bring everything you need with you. On both islands, you can find many small idyllic beaches where you will be alone and can do nude swimming and sunbathing. I must say that nudism is quite widespread among the tourists there, so don’t be surprised to see Adam and Eve.However, the Canary Islands are much more than just two giant beaches! 🙂 There are also fun things to do and unique places to visit.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.redd.it/s9qdfzxsdwz61.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.redd.it/s9qdfzxsdwz61.jpg' /></noscript> Keep reading 🙂 What I enjoyed the most about the Canary Islands is renting a car and just going around the islands to explore stunning landscapes. I loved the freedom to go where I liked, to stop when I wanted and to go off the road. When you wander around the Fuerteventura, you will meet cute chipmunks, or Barbery Ground Squirrels, and goats – the only animals there. The chipmunks (like those from the Chip and Dale cartoon) are not afraid of people, and they will come to you to get some tasty snacks. To get a feeling of the local life, visit a Villaverde, a beautiful old village with two windmills, and El Cotillo, a small fishing village used as a harbor by local fishers. If you want to see the most beautiful places, lesser known and lesser accessible places, it’s always a good idea to join a tour with a local.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/finduslost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Tenerife-Canary-Islands-Find-Us-Lost-Travel-Guides-00185-768x768.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/finduslost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Tenerife-Canary-Islands-Find-Us-Lost-Travel-Guides-00185-768x768.jpg' /></noscript> Don’t like tourist buses? I’ve got you covered: there is an awesome Safari Day Tour with 4×4 Jeeps. Click here to get a discounted ticket for Fuerteventura Safari Day Tour with 4×4 Jeeps. In Lanzarote, we rented a car for 3 days and made the tour of the whole island. I had an impression that it’s more diverse than Fuerteventura and has more attractions. One of the most amazing stops were El Golfo and Lago Verde. Don’t miss Los Hervideros to witness the astonishing spectacle of nature. It represents rocks made of lava eruptions dating from the thirteenth century and falling into the water. Solidified lava formed chaotic caves and balconies that you can walk on and listen to the thunderous roaring of the ocean. Moreover, you can enjoy a superb view on the red Montaña Bermeja, Pico Redondo and other volcanoes located just north of Los Hervideros.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/beach-on-map.com/img/3/spain-canary-islands-fuerteventura-island-corralejo-beach-parasols-orig.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/beach-on-map.com/img/3/spain-canary-islands-fuerteventura-island-corralejo-beach-parasols-orig.jpg' /></noscript> Another fantastic place to visit in Lanzarote is an underground cave Jameos Del Agua with a subterranean salt lake, restaurants, and a concert hall. If you are a wine-lover, I recommend visiting the Lanzarote vineyards and tasting unique local wines. In case you don’t have the driving license, you can join private or small-groups authentic tours: Lanzarote Full-Day Tour and Fuerteventura Full-Day Tour. Local guides will take you to the most scenic places of the islands and you don’t need to think about organizational details – just relax and enjoy. You definitely can’t leave Lanzarote without visiting Timanfaya National Park. I tell you, it’s one of a kind! Timanfaya is the kingdom of volcanoes with its unreal landscape typical of the moon or Mars. The locals even say that NASA showed the astronauts of the Apollo 17 pictures of Timanfaya’s lunar landscape to prepare them for landing on the moon 😀 Here the scenes for the “Clash of the Titans,” “One million years BC,” and “When dinosaurs ruled the earth” were shot.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/ff/0b/e3/ff0be3eeb79bebcb03155ce8026693f0--canary-islands-playa-blanca-lanzarote.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/ff/0b/e3/ff0be3eeb79bebcb03155ce8026693f0--canary-islands-playa-blanca-lanzarote.jpg' /></noscript> You will see, it’s a suitable place for a movie like “Star Wars.” Here you will realize that the wildest human imagination can not be compared with the exuberance of nature. The Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains) were created in the 18th century when more than 100 volcanoes (in the area of more than 50 square kilometers), erupted and devastated this part of the island including several villages. Still, now, the underground heat is very powerful, and the temperature just a few meters below the surface there reaches up to 600°C (!!!). You can witness there how a man pours water in a hole in the ground that in a couple of seconds erupts like a geyser. You can see how something falling in this hole catches fire immediately. You can even have your lunch cooked by the heat of the volcano. The ‘El Diablo’ restaurant serves Canarian food cooked on a cast-iron grill placed over a large hole in the ground.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/s9.travelask.ru/uploads/post/000/012/682/main_image/facebook-505831079260559502d6d04d3b401536.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/s9.travelask.ru/uploads/post/000/012/682/main_image/facebook-505831079260559502d6d04d3b401536.jpg' /></noscript> Believe me: it’s something unbelievable! 😀 More information about the trip to Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote. In Fuerteventura, there is no shortage of volcanoes either. You can actually climb an extinct volcano. The Gairia Volcano, the Sand Volcano (Volcan de la Arena), and Corralejo Volcanoes are the best volcanoes for an impressive trekking. One of the joys you will find in the Canary Islands is the local food that combines traditional Spanish recipes with Latin American and African influences. It’s a unique blend of flavors, a one-of-a-kind combination of freshness and aromas. Canarians like to eat well, a lot and healthy. I was so happy to act like a local! What have I found there? First of all, the abundance of seafood.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/eventoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/miltiadis-fragkidis-kHQFMObkRSs-unsplash-e1574249343759-990x660.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/eventoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/miltiadis-fragkidis-kHQFMObkRSs-unsplash-e1574249343759-990x660.jpg' /></noscript> Of course, it’s the islands, so the main food comes from the ocean: fish, octopus, squid, mussels, prawns… It’s just a paradise for seafood lovers! Next, I’ve eaten here the most delicious potatoes in the world! I have never thought that the potatoes can taste like that. When I was leaving, I even thought of bringing some potatoes with me. What makes the Canarian potatoes, or Papas Arrugadas so special? They are tiny wrinkled potatoes that grow in volcanic soil, boiled with a generous amount of sea salt, and served with paprika, red or green chili pepper garlic spicy sauce, – Mojo Rojo, Mojo Picon, and Mojo Verde. Another potato dish that you can try in the Canary Islands is Patatas Bravas, “brave potatoes.” They are spicy, crispy, and taste like heaven. The Patatas Bravas’ recipe secret is a special spicy tomato sauce that makes patatas bravas the king of all Spanish tapas.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/content.skyscnr.com/m/668004f51953ad25/original/GettyImages-460870155.jpg?crop=1048px:699px&quality=100" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/content.skyscnr.com/m/668004f51953ad25/original/GettyImages-460870155.jpg?crop=1048px:699px&quality=100' /></noscript> Did you know that there are more goats than people in the Canary Islands? There is a reason for that. Actually, two: Baifo, a marinated goat in a mixture made with bay leaves, garlic, thyme, and oregano, and ridiculously tasty Majorero goat cheese. This cheese is a savory sensation, and it is best enjoyed grilled with a palm honey. For a dessert, you can choose one of many fresh fruits such as cherimoya, dragon fruit, banana, papaya, or try a Bienmesabe, the most typical dessert made of honey, almond cream, eggs, cinnamon, and rum. According to the local traditions, all this delicious food must be eaten in a good and cheerful company 🙂 If you want a deep dive into the Canary Islands food, join the Tapas & Culture tour in Fuerteventura. You will discover hidden places of the island, visit the farm and meet farmers, taste unusual fruits, handmade products and delicious local food.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzUhprZpqYg/UCIWr3mPfNI/AAAAAAAABLQ/4A2Yk0gNpW8/s1600/la_palma2.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzUhprZpqYg/UCIWr3mPfNI/AAAAAAAABLQ/4A2Yk0gNpW8/s1600/la_palma2.jpg' /></noscript> It’s a unique plant: you can eat it, drink it, use as a cosmetic, a drug and even cook it! You can learn about the history, cultivation, production and uses of this miraculous plant at the visitor centers which are plantations, museum and a shop at the same time. In Lanzarote, there are five such aloe Vera visitor centers that are located in the villages of Arrieta, Punta Mujeres, Yaiza, Teguise, and La Graciosa. Admission is free. In Fuerteventura, the plantations are situated in Tiscamanita and Valles de Ortega, between Antigua and Pajara. I recommend visiting the Aloe Vera factory in Tiscamanita or Aloe Vera Information Centre in Jandia. More information about the visit to the Aloe Vera factory. In all these places you can buy aloe Vera based creams, soaps, shampoo, perfume, or even the plants that you can grow at home.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/funart.pro/uploads/posts/2021-03/thumbs/1617198565_45-p-oboi-kanarskie-ostrova-55.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/funart.pro/uploads/posts/2021-03/thumbs/1617198565_45-p-oboi-kanarskie-ostrova-55.jpg' /></noscript> I found Aloe Vera to be an excellent remedy for sunburns and tired feet, and I bought a bottle of pure aloe Vera gel for myself and as a gift. In my trip to the Canary Islands I tried a real 100% aloe Vera juice and started drinking it regularly in the morning – diluted in water with honey, it has detoxifying, metabolism-regulating, lowering cholesterol and blood sugar, and immune system boosting benefits. After visiting the Canary Islands, I fell in love with Aloe Vera cosmetics that became my true friend. In Lanzarote, Famara beach in the Northwest part of the island is considered the best for surfing. It is famous for its big ocean waves, and it attracts surfers from all over the world. The top spot for windsurfing is Playa de las Cucharas, Costa Teguise. Being windier, Fuerteventura is an ideal place for windsurfing and kitesurfing lovers.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/x-material.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/nqJN5qU_xNc.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/x-material.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/nqJN5qU_xNc.jpg' /></noscript> Check Playa de la Barca, a kiteboarding, kitesurfing and windsurfing paradise in Fuerteventura. Located there the René Egli Windsurfing Centre hosts the windsurfing and kiteboarding World Cup every year. You can also attend kitesurfing camps there. Even if you never tried windsurfing and you are not sure if you want to try, head to Playa de la Barca, look at all these enthusiasts and happy people in the water, and in a couple of hours, you will see yourself on the board. There are some good kitesurfing courses and stand up paddle courses in Fuerteventura with professional instructors who will teach you how to start. Fuerteventura is also a perfect place to learn surfing. If you never did it but always wanted to try, you can take a beginner course that will help you surf your first wave.

The choice is enormous. I had an enjoyable stay at the Occidental Lanzarote Mar hotel in Costa Teguise. It has a small beach, and the hotel provides a free bus shuttle throughout the day to the main long beach of Costa Teguise and the town where there are lots of restaurants, bars, and shops. But its main feature is a giant Olympic-sized pool!!! In the ocean, almost always, except for the three summer months, the water is quite cool for swimming. As I love swimming a lot, but came to Lanzarote in December, this hotel with such a huge pool was just a mega-find for me! The food and service were fantastic, and the animation team would not let me just lay near the pool. There were games, cooking classes, cocktail making shows, concerts, yoga, and other activities organized from the morning till the late night.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/turproezdka.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2.lansarote.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i2.wp.com/turproezdka.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2.lansarote.jpg' /></noscript> You can’t get bored there! In Playa Blanca area, I recommend checking The Volcán Lanzarote Hotel with the stunning views over the marina, white romantic architecture and 5 swimming pools. It’s Maldives-like style pools will make you feel like in paradise. It is located only eight minutes walk from the beach and just 10 kilometers to the magnificent Timanfaya National Park. To enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the Canary Islands, the Papagayo beach, check The Hotel Mirador Papagayo that is located nearby. If you prefer staying in the apartments, there are tons of rooms and flats for rent, as well as country houses and villas. The main resort areas in Fuerteventura are Corralejo in the north of the island, Morro Jable at the southernmost part, Costa Calma and Costa Caleta.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/4.404content.com/resize/730x-/1/A3/BD/2111701331808880015/fullsize.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/4.404content.com/resize/730x-/1/A3/BD/2111701331808880015/fullsize.jpg' /></noscript> Corralejo is the most popular and the busiest place among visitors. There is something to do for any age group: couples on their honeymoon, elder people, or families with children. As the sun goes down, the bars, clubs, and discos are open ready for a party night. Avanti Hotel Boutique Fuerteventura is incredibly stylish in design with white and turquoise décor and is located just 1 minute from the beach. It offers rooms with the ocean view and a roof terrace with a hot tube. This hotel is adults-only. Fascinating from an architectural point of view, the Hotel Rural Restaurante Mahoh is a small distinctive hotel in the northern part of the island, built of volcanic stones in the XIX century. All rooms at the Mahoh feature stone walls and wooden beams. If you search for tranquility, check the secluded rural hotel Casa Tile located in a charming fishing village Roque, Cotillo.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/474x/f5/b1/4a/f5b14ad939ff076a4f04694d38ed2368--fuerteventura-canary-islands.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/474x/f5/b1/4a/f5b14ad939ff076a4f04694d38ed2368--fuerteventura-canary-islands.jpg' /></noscript> It’s for those travelers who love authentic places off the beaten tourist path. Top hotels of Fuerteventura are located in Morro Jable, the area with the paradise white sand beaches, palm trees and blue waters. Hotels MAGIC LIFE and Iberostar Playa Gaviotas are perfect places for ideal holidays on the Canary Islands. Another option is to get an apartment on Airbnb. There are attractive propositions on the market, like this apartment for 50 euros a night with the ocean view and a beach in seconds away from the bedroom. With this promo code, you will receive up to 35 dollars discount on your first booking! There are many options for flying into the Canary Islands. Previously the connections from Europe were mostly operated by the charter flights, and to have holidays in the Canary Islands one had to buy an all inclusive package.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/7b/64/54/7b6454cf24942576cced711162e1b969.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/7b/64/54/7b6454cf24942576cced711162e1b969.jpg' /></noscript> Since many low-cost airlines started flying here, too, the prices for flights became very democratic. For example, you can fly from London-Luton to Lanzarote for as little as 17 EUR with Ryanair. Lanzarote Airport is located close to Arrecife (the airport designator code ACE). Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is situated near the capital city Puerto del Rosario. The airlines serving Lanzarote and Fuerteventura include Ryanair, Wizzair, EasyJet, Iberia, British Airways, Air Berlin, Jetair, Aer Lingus, and Jet2 among others. There is a good network of public transportation thanks to which you can reach almost any part of the islands.If you want to travel between the Canary Islands, then check for two local companies Islas Airways and Binter Canarias. Now, please have a look at these Fuerteventura and Lanzarote videos that will let you feel the mood of these Canary islands: <iframe src="https://player.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfu7hej3010jcmgh1bvbdmm1b_1000x700.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfu7hej3010jcmgh1bvbdmm1b_1000x700.jpg' /></noscript> vimeo.com/video/139805549″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”true”> 

You can take a ferry between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura for only 29 Euros and fit both islands into your visit to the Canary Islands. Or even more 😉

then, my dear sun worshippers, the decision is tough because both islands are spectacular.

If you are more into water and wind sports, and you like large sandy beaches, then windy Fuerteventura would be a better option for you.

If you dream of visiting Mars-like places on Earth, then don’t miss Lanzarote with its Timanfaya National Park and black sand beaches.

No matter where you choose to travel to the Canary Islands, you can’t go wrong: on both islands you will find beautiful beaches, pleasant glorious weather, and delicious food.

I am sure you will have a great time there!

Enjoy!!!!!

Fuerteventura, Canary Islands – Live Weather Update

What’s the Weather like in Fuerteventura?
Where Is Fuerteventura?

The weather in Fuerteventura is unlike any of the other Canary Islands. It sits in the Atlantic, 108km from the northwest mainland African coast and the weather it experiences is unique.

The Island Of Eternal Spring

Fuerteventura and its neighbouring islands have been called ‘the island of eternal spring’ because of their pleasant weather throughout the year. There isn’t an enormous amount of annual temperature variation. There is still a distinction between the ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ months, but the island very rarely experiences temperature extremes.

How Rainy Does Fuerteventura Get?

It is thought that the northern shores of each of theCanary Islands that being Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, Fuerteventura and La Graciosa) generally receive more rain than that of the sheltered southern coasts of the islands.

However, due to its proximity to Lanzarote which lies 12 minutes by boat to its north, Fuerteventura is sheltered from various weather conditions that would typically hit the north side of the island.

So in a sense, Lanzarote acts as the northern coast of Fuerteventura which results in the island receiving significantly less annual rainfall than its neighbouring islands.

How Hot Does Fuerteventura Get?

In the summer months, the average temperature across the day and night is around 24ºC with evening lows of 21ºC – so sleeping isn’t always easy! Across the summer months of 2017 and 2018, the top daily average was 26ºC.

When Is the Windiest Time In Fuerteventura?

Generally, the breeziest time of year in Fuerteventura is the summer months of July and August. The region makes the most of its conditions, with numerous watersports competitions, including surfing and windsurfing championships.

In terms of regions, the western area tends to have more wind than the other coasts. The winds tend to drop around September and October.

Hot And Sunny

On the whole Fuerteventura is generally cooler in summer than nearby resorts, so you may find many people flocking to the island to escape from the harsh heat of the Spanish mainland.

The winter sees the island warmer thanMajorca and other Spanish resorts, and it is not uncommon for the beaches to still be filled with tourists sunbathing, even in the cooler winter months.

Which Canary Island has the best weather?

With numerous microclimates throughout the Canary Islands, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura to the east can experience different weather to Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Windier regions tend to be Costa Calma in Fuerteventura and Costa Teguise in Lanzarote, although they also enjoy slightly higher temperatures in summer months. But whatever Canary Island you visit, gorgeous days of sunshine are pretty much guaranteed all year round.

Is Fuerteventura Hot In September And October?

Much like the whole of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura enjoys lovely, warm temperatures in September and October, although not as hot as the high-summer months of June, July and August.

Average temperatures are still around 25ºC, the sea temperatures are gorgeous and there are fewer holidaymakers as it’s off peak season.

Night-time temperatures can still reach an average of 22ºC (72F).

The Fuerteventura tourist season ends in October. The average daytime temp falls to around 22ºC, with the sea temperature at 25ºC.

October sees temperature lows fall to 19ºC and peaks reaching 25ºC. The sky is cloudier than September and all the summer months, leading to 10 hours of daily sunshine on average.

Summer Weather in Fuerteventura
The summer months of June to August see an average temperature of 24ºC. This average can be misleading as it has been known to reach highs of 40ºC in the height of summer. Its proximity to the African coastline ensures that the island sees plenty of sunshine year-round. Fuerteventura boasts an average of 320 days of sunshine a year.

Generally, the summer highs will average 26ºC to 28ºC, with low humidity and scarce rainfall. At night time the temperature falls to the low twenties providing an enjoyable atmosphere to kick back and enjoy the island lifestyle.

Windy Conditions

The name ‘Fuerteventura’ translates to ‘strong wind’ which is certainly a characteristic of the island. The Canary Islands as a whole are in the path of the regular north-eastern trade wind and the cool Canary Stream, but Fuerteventura, in particular, is dominated by this.

The breeze does provide a welcome cooling relief from the sometimes scorching mid-summer temperatures. Because of its location in the path of trade winds, the island is a great destination for those wishing to revel in wind-powered sports.

Water Temperature

As the Canary Islands sit in the vast Atlantic Ocean in the cooling Canary Current, the water temperature does not reach the highs of the Mediterranean’s more easterly waters.

In the warmest of the summer weather, in August and September, the average water temperature reaches 22ºC, a good 4ºC below what might be expected somewhere like Majorca at the same time of year.

Rain and Sunshine Hours

May to August sees Fuerteventura experiencing very low rainfall amounts and nine to ten hours of sunshine each day. If you want to avoid the peak summer crowds of July and August then May and June are an ideal time to visit the island.

Winter Weather in Fuerteventura
The only period that you can really expect to experience ‘bad weather’ is during the months of December to March, where it is possible to experience a few days of wet, windy weather.

In saying this, it is highly unlikely that these periods will last for longer than a week at a time.

Rainfall

The annual average precipitation is about 147 mm per year which is exceptionally low. Most of this will fall from October through until March.

Temperature

The winter temperature ranging from 15ºC to 22ºC is enjoyably mild, making Fuerteventura a popular winter holiday destination. These temperatures are actually warmer than those found on the south coast of England in the height of summer.

Sunshine Hours

The average of six-seven hours of sunshine a day, rather better than the UK’s two, makes the island the perfect winter destination. The water temperature in winter drops to around 19ºC in the coolest months.

Weather Hazards
Sandstorms

Fuerteventura can be affected by winds that come from the Sahara, meaning that the island is washed with an agreeable dry, warm breeze as the hot dry air is drawn from the Sahara and eventually reaches the island.

On the odd occasion this wind can be burdened with sand particles which can have an uncomfortable whipping affect, particularly if lying on the beach.

This phenomenon, named ‘Calima’ by local inhabitants does not happen too regularly and generally passes quickly.

Temperatures during this phenomenon can often rise by 10ºC and the wind brings in fine white sand, lowering visibly to about 100 to 200m or lower. On the rare occasion the ‘scirocco’ can also bring African locusts!

Dust Storms

Another unfortunate consequence of these winds blowing across the Sahara are the dust storms in the late winter/early spring time. These usually arriving in the area between February and March and lasting anywhere from two to four days, although every ten years they can last for up to two weeks.

Though these dust storms are not severe, they’re considered inconvenient by the locals. The storms lower visibility, often to less than 200m and can irritate the eyes and exacerbate any breathing problems.

2020 Canary Islands Calima

In February 2020 the Canary Islands were engulfed in a sandstorm so vast it obscured them from satellite view, as a seasonal blast of hot, sandy winds known as Calima swept across from the the Sahara. Winds rose to 100mph and carried clouds of red sand that buffeted the islands, creating a thick orange haze.

Review for: Playa De La Concha El Cotillo

Best Beach

Close to town. Without exaggeration, this is the best beach, you can always swim, even at high / low tide. Lots of naturists: if you’re with kids and/or conservative, you’ll feel uncomfortable here. There is a bar, shower, toilet, parking. There are no sunbeds – only “shells” made of stones – come early to take one of them.

Review of: Sotavento Beach

All Costa Calma beaches to the south

About all Costa Calma beaches to the south. In January.
The central beach of Costa Calma is quite large, good for swimming, sunset, as on all the beaches of these places, sandy, gently sloping, the coast is steep and protects a little from the wind.
Further south is a series of beaches, which are separated by ledges of volcanic rocks. The size of the beaches to the south is growing. You can also walk along all the ledges below – volcanic black stones are quite suitable even for walking barefoot on them, they are soft and without sharp edges (although from a distance they look like impassable, but they are not). All beaches can be easily reached on foot along the bottom or on top, including the farthest and largest beach, Barca, where surfers ride, with lagoons.
The next beach to the south of the central one is the smallest, well sheltered from the wind by a high bank. A little further the beach is bigger, also at the edges it is covered from the wind by a high coast, there are few people. We swam on it, the water was around 20 degrees, it felt warm, it was pleasant to swim for 20 minutes. There are fenced corners made of stones and an ensemble of sunbathing in the wind. Further away is the large beach of Jandia, also along the edges of the carrot high bank. There is no one there at all.
And then the steep coast ends, wide beaches begin, on which there is where the wind can roam, surfers of various types ride there, and so on to new mountains. At the very end is a gorgeous beach with a lagoon and a large sand dune, the wind is also strong. Everywhere is full of paths, entrances, parking lots (they can be accessed from the main road only from the side of the road closest to the ocean).
In general, a very beautiful and diverse area in terms of beaches.
Fuerta also liked the wide sandy beach in Morro Jable and the beaches in the dunes of Corralejo (unlike Gran Canaria, there was no big temperature difference between the north and the young of the island for swimming in January). I also liked the sea bath in the Krabbenfelsten rocks and the black volcanic sand beach in Ahui, which is ideally combined with a tour of the Cyclops caves.

Review for: Plage de El Castillo

White sand

Beach with imported white sand, sand with shells and small stones. There is a complex of water entertainments. At high tide it is still normal, but at low tide it is problematic to enter the water. It looks very nice, but only from the outside. The beaches at the Sheraton and the Atlantic Shopping Center are much better – they are not far away.

Fuerta, as if on a boat

Climbing the Mirador Morro Velosa, you can contemplate the local landscape of the island. The mountains are not higher than 1000m, but please the eye with their various lunar shapes, colors and textures! Definitely this place must be visited. The entrance is free.

Review of: Playa de la Escalera

Surfers

This beach is located south of Castillo de El Toston, from the tower it is very good, panoramic view.
This beach is just for surfers, but it is hardly suitable just for a measured beach holiday. At high tide – only a narrow strip of sand, at low tide – a wide and wet beach.

Helsinki, Finland Don’t take your eyes off.

The tides are very pronounced: the ocean becomes shallow, but at the same time it warms up: it is possible to swim even in winter!!!!

Natural breakwaters protect the lagoons from strong waves: great swimming! And at the same time, the sea is raging in the distance.

And a bonus: sunsets.

Canary Islands.

Fuerteventura. Hotel, food, places, ocean
The memories of this magical place still make me smile. The realization that after submitting documents for a residence permit, it will not be possible to leave the territory of Poland for 4 months, prompted me to have a good rest before submitting documents.

Personally, I have heard a lot about what an expensive place it is – the Canary Islands. And just like that, we were lucky enough to be there. A huge plus in the work of a freelancer is that you yourself can plan your work schedule and rest.

I love Poland because everything is done for people. On a hot ticket, you can relax in an unusually stunning place, such as the Canary Islands.

We (my husband and I), in turn, did not bother to look for a place to rest for two months, because we had no idea how things would go on. And in general we love spontaneity more. So, for three days we scouted out various vacation offers. I wanted to relax in a warm place, excluding Turkey and Egypt.

And when we came across Rainbow tours, we were very surprised. They offer hot tours at fabulous prices. Literally 5 days before departure, we bought 2 vouchers (all inclusive) for $ 1000. Agree that for such a fabulous place, the price is simply magical. We bought tickets on March 10, 2015.

We ordered tickets on the spot, in their office. But the flight remained only from Katowice. In Rainbow tours we also used the service of their driver. They pick you up at the set time and, if you want, they can take you back (on the way back). This service costs PLN 100 per person one way. Of course, you can get to Katowice many times cheaper, but the comfort is worth it, and somehow I didn’t really want to bother with bags.

At the airport, we surprisingly passed control very quickly and very easily (in 30 minutes). We flew 3.5 hours. We flew to our islands (by the way, I completely forgot – we chose the island of Fuerteventura).

Fuerteventura (Spanish Fuerteventura) – one of the islands of the Canary archipelago, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean; The name comes from the Spanish words “fuerte” – strong, reliable and “ventura” – good luck, happiness.

The island of Fuerteventura, located 100 km from the coast of Africa, is the second largest after Tenerife and has the longest beaches in the entire archipelago. Fuerteventura has an elongated shape and covers an area of 1659.74 km², stretching for 100 km in length and 31 km in width. The highest point is 807 m.

As in other Canary Islands, there are no poisonous snakes and insects, no mammals dangerous to humans, no need to be afraid of contracting any exotic infection and mandatory vaccinations.

Fuerteventura is the most “African” island of the archipelago: it is separated from Morocco by less than 100 km.

This is a great place to relax, but you should be prepared for the fact that these islands are always windy, but the wind is warm.

Hotel Princess 4 * (I attach a video with a review of the hotel below):

The hotel is heavenly. The water temperature is +21 (but we still swam), the water is the cleanest. The temperature on the island is +26.

Personally, in our hotel, 70% are old people, 20% are families with children and 10% are young people. You need to be prepared for the fact that 80% of the old nudists walk along the beach. Although there are specially fenced places for them, anyway, they like to walk along the coast and impress tourists with their appearance.

If you walk along the beaches, you can stumble upon charming chipmunks.

Chipmunks wake up closer to dinner, willingly take food from their hands. They eat everything they can, but most of all they love nuts (it’s best to give nuts in shell, it’s very interesting to watch how they peel a nut).

There is a shop on the territory of the hotel (prices there are 2 times higher than in local supermarkets). Outside the hotel, 100 meters away, there is a supermarket that sells everything at reasonable prices.

The food at the hotel is insanely delicious. Everything is very fresh. Most of all here are sea dishes (dishes of fish, squid, mussels, shrimp, their signature potatoes boiled in ocean water, from which you just lick your fingers; pizza, cheeses, sausages, sweets (cakes, cakes), vegetables and fruits (watermelon, melon , peaches, plums, apricots, and a fruit that I recommend to try – “Guava” ( oval, or round in shape, looks like an apple. The pulp tastes very sweet.

A distinctive useful property of this fruit is the ability to strengthen and improve lymphatic system of the body, favorably affects the composition of the blood due to the iron contained in it. Beta-carotene is very useful for vision, as well as for tissue regeneration. Regular use improves immunity, tones, has a strengthening effect. It is a strong antiscorbutic. Guava peel contains 10- 15 times more antioxidants than the pulp of the fruit, so that the unpeeled guava has more pronounced anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-allergic kimi, antispasmodic and analgesic properties).

The fruit is really very tasty and healthy.

It is possible to travel on excursions. Personally, I recommend a trip to the Oasis Park and a tour of the volcanoes (to the island of Lanzarote).

A ticket to the oasis park cost 25 euros per person (plus a free round-trip bus). There are many animals (counted 300 species). Among them: otters, giraffes, ostriches, meerkats, noses, fur seals, parrots, flamingos, monkeys, crocodiles, wild cats, rare birds, raccoons, lemurs, turtles, elephants and many others.

Several photos of animals from the oasis park.

Animals can be fed. On the territory of the oasis of the park there are points where you can buy food for animals. The giraffe food bag contained potatoes, apples and oranges. It’s nice to know that the animals are well cared for and cared for.

A trip to the oasis park is a fun adventure that brings great pleasure and joy.

Another excursion recommended by the Spaniards and, of course, representatives of Rainbow tours is a trip to the island of Lanzarote (volcano trip).

It was very interesting to watch how a chicken was fried before our eyes in 20 seconds.

In principle, the tour is exciting, but very exhausting. From Fuerteventura, it takes about 5 hours to get to Lanzarote (3.5 hours by bus and 1.5 hours by ship). On the volcanoes themselves, they are transported by bus, plus they are brought in for wine tasting and lunch is included in the price. The approximate cost of such a trip is 40 euros per person. Plus, a bonus to this trip is another excursion – a walk through the haunting place – Jameos Del Agua.

Jameos del Agua is one of the most interesting cave galleries in Lanzarote. It is located in the north of Lanzarote at the foot of the Monte de la Corona volcano.

Jameos del Agua was turned into a tour destination in 1968 by the famous Canarian artist Cesare Manrique. This is an amazing, extraordinarily talented artist who is the author of all the man-made beauty that can be seen today on the island of Lanzarote.

In the caves of Jameos del Agua, you can meet some representatives of the animal world, both originally living here and later appearing in the caves. The most famous representative of the fauna of the Canary Islands is the blind white crab, which lives in the tunnel and belongs to an endangered species of marine life. In accordance with the idea of Cesar, this crab has become a kind of emblem of Jameos del Agua.

What I liked most about the whole day was the tour of the picturesque, paradise corner of Sensar. A huge plus is that you are given an hour of time to walk around this place on your own. Tour guides call this place a labyrinth in which you need to go through and find a way out. But, in fact, it’s impossible to get lost there, and you can’t even call it a labyrinth.

The first thing to do was to pass through the “little lake” (as the “locals” call it, crayfish, crabs, fish swim in it. But, for tourists, the territory was fenced off, so you can walk on the water absolutely safely.

Walk literally 300 meters.

Next is the most interesting view of a piece of paradise

And here is a video from this incredibly beautiful place

Well, then climb the stairs and exit. It is very good when you have the opportunity to walk around this chic place on your own, without a guide.

And this is how we got to the south of the island, to Jandia. Most of the tourist infrastructure in the south of the island is concentrated in Jandia. This natural space is separated from the rest of the territory and is almost completely surrounded by white sandy beaches.

To sum up: rest in this place is a real fairy tale. Arriving here for at least a week, you absolutely do not want to leave here. Walking along the beach, you forget about everything. This chic place helps to recharge with positive and forget about everything. I highly recommend relaxing on this island. Even though it is windy and perfect for windsurfers, I personally love it (just be sure to cover your shoulders and wear a hat, as you burn even faster in the wind!

VP.BY about tourism: Canary Islands: holidays on the island of Fuerteventura

Weather and climate on the island of Fuerteventura

The beach season on the island lasts all year round, average temperatures in July reach +27 ° C in the shade, and thanks to the fresh (and strong) wind and low humidity, the heat is not felt even at the peak temperatures.

The average winter temperature is about +17 °C, and during the day the air can warm up to +25°C, but the water temperature is relatively constant – about +20 °C.

Due to the lack of high peaks, it rarely rains on the island, so the climate here is very suitable for a beach holiday, and you should not be afraid that you will have to spend half the time in a hotel (by the way, there are more than 800 hotels on the island, see and book liked can here ).

Caleta del Fustes

Playa de Corralejo

1. Costa Calma

Costa Calma on the Jandia peninsula has become the most popular resort on the island due to the longest beach – Sotavento and favorable conditions for windsurfing. The resort surprises with its lush vegetation, atypical for the climate of the island as a whole – the secret is that hotels take care of the gardens and alleys.

The town is very quiet and calm, there are several cozy restaurants and shops, there are also shopping centers, and the Mecca of shopping is African Market , where you can find anything – from fakes of world brands to magnificent fabrics and handmade clothes. Look for jewelry, lava products, and aloe vera-based cosmetics.

Among the places you can recommend to go to the Italian restaurant B-Side , cocktail Tony’s 2 Non Solo Cafe and Spanish restaurant La Goleta.

Windsurfing season: March-October. Near the hotel Sol Gorriones is the world’s largest windsurfing center Pro Center Rene Egli . The resort also hosts world cups in windsurfing and kitesurfing.

2. Resort Morro del Jable

Morro del Jable from a quiet fishing village has recently turned into a popular tourist resort with a preserved old town, a picturesque port with boats and ships. Here the beaches of Sotavento end and in the west of the town the rocks begin.

There are many restaurants in the city where you can taste freshly caught fish in any form.

From the town you can take a ferry to Gran Canaria (about 2 hours on the way), or take a cruise around the Canary Islands, go on a boat trip or deep-sea fishing.

3. Playa Matorral resort

The resort is located on the east coast of the Jandia peninsula and stretches for 3 kilometers along the main road. The resort has more entertainment, hotels and opportunities for outdoor activities than on Costa Calma. All cafes and restaurants are concentrated on the main street, but they close around midnight and the resort rests calmly at night.

The beach in the resort of Playa Matorral is called Playa del Jandia and stretches for 12 kilometers, its average width reaches 300 meters. On the beach, in addition to swimming, windsurfing, traditional for the peninsula, is also popular, and there are also diving schools with good places.

Playa Matorral receives the Blue Flag every year.

4. Resort Caleta del Fustes

Caleta del Fustes is the third largest resort on the island of Fuerteventura and is located in the middle of the east coast of the island at 9kilometers from the airport. You can explore the resort by bike and even book a bike tour.

Hotels in Caleta del Fustes – are standard packages found in 2-4**, which often include additional spa treatments. The resort has many cafes and restaurants with seafood dishes. For example, go to Frasquita for a table overlooking the sea, or go to Puerto Castillo for great pizza and homemade pasta.

On the beach there is a place with a cozy bay, where many families with children have a rest (there is a gentle entrance to the water and no winds).

The resort has a well-developed related infrastructure, there is a supermarket, bars with music, a cinema, a bowling alley and a golf course.

The resort also has entertainment centers for adults and children, where you can order diving, snorkeling, fishing or walking in search of dolphins and whales, windsurfing lessons, etc.

5. Playa de Corralejo

Playa de Corralejo (Corralejo) has quickly become a popular resort where tourists from Germany love to come. The atmosphere of a small town with a large number of urban and not only beaches has been preserved here. On the main street of the resort Avenida Generalisimo Franco are all the main shops, restaurants and bars.

The resort is located 70 km from the airport. You can get to the capital of the island by bus (travel time is about 35 minutes). And from the port you can take a ferry to the island of Lanzarote to the beach of Playa Blanca.

The beaches within the town are almost always filled with vacationers, but in the south of the resort there is beach Corralejo , 10 kilometers long. It is very picturesque and there is enough space for everyone!

Along the coast there is a highway to Puerto del Rosario, on one side of which stretches a white sand beach with turquoise water and a view of Lobos Island, and on the other – the dunes of El Jable (El Jable).

By the way, since 1982 the landscape of the resort has been taken under protection and is a nature reserve where any construction is prohibited. There are two hotels here Riu Oliva Beach Resort and Riu Palace Tres Islas , towering above the sands, but they were built before the resort was declared a nature reserve.

Cuisine in Fuerteventura

The island is famous for its goat milk cheeses – “mahorato” and many other varieties and species that often win international competitions. By the way, it is the goat that is the symbol of Fuerteventura, so don’t be surprised if you see them everywhere 🙂

A traditional dish on the island – jacket potatoes with garlic sauce (a familiar dish, isn’t it) and, of course, a variety of seafood and fish.

What else to see and do on the island of Fuerteventura

From the cultural program: you can go to the house-museum of the philosopher and writer Miguel de Unamuno in the old Hotel Fuerteventura in Puerto del Rosario. Here you can see the interior of the rooms where the writer lived, his personal belongings, photographs and manuscripts.

Go to the museum in Betancuria, where you can see a collection of archaeological, paleontological and ethnographic artifacts from the life of the ancient natives – the Machs. The settlement of Betancuria is located in the crater of an extinct volcano and is considered one of the most beautiful places on the island.

In Antigua you can visit the Craft Center and see an old corn mill and related equipment. By the way, windmills are also a symbol of Fuerteventura and have a gender – “female” mills with a cylindrical base, and “male” – with a square. The windmill on the island is a symbol of wealth and prosperity.

You can go to the village La Oliva, where the governors of the island lived, and one mansion and the church of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria with a square bell tower and a beautiful carved door have been preserved.

And on the peninsula Jandia you can visit Winter Villa – an unusual building in the middle of the rocks near the village of Cofete.

From the natural attractions You can visit the CUEVA-DAL-LANANO , which is more than 1 million years old (located recently from La La-oliva). And with children you can take a walk in the zoo Camel Oasis in the village of La Lajita on the east coast of the island or in the zoo Stela Canaris with rare birds and reptiles. Another trip can be made at Botanical Garden in La Lajita with over 2500 cacti. Or climb the highest mountain of the island Pico de la Zarza on the peninsula Jandia.

For the whole family, a trip to Baku water park, which is in great demand among tourists all year round, is suitable.

Another entertainment on the island is to make friends with chipmunks, which are numerous here, go fishing, try local cheeses and bring home souvenirs with a goat or a windmill.

Reasons Why You Should Visit Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Visiting Lanzarote is like leaving Earth. From its volcanic, lunar landscapes and Mars-like sands to its delicious wine and seafood, there are countless reasons to visit this Canary Island. Here are the top ones.

With its white, cubic architecture set against undulating volcanoes and lava fields, Lanzarote delivers a visual feast like no other. Part of the Canary Islands, an archipelago off the coast of Morocco, the island is known for its vineyards, rocky hiking trails and cultural attractions (thanks to artist César Manrique), as well as beaches, water sports and tapas. It’s also home to charming boutique hotels that are a great bet for travellers looking to avoid package tourism. Here are the top reasons why you should put this unique, year-round destination on your bucket list.

There’s an array of unspoilt beaches

In Lanzarote, there’s a beautiful black, golden or white-sand beach for every mood and location. Even on the south coast, where holiday resorts are located, popular beaches like Playa del Reducto (in Arrecife) have been awarded Blue Flag status for their cleanliness and safety. To the north, the beaches are long and windswept, with black sands on Playa de Famara and crashing waves that draw surfers and kiteboarders. Then there’s Caletón Blanco with soft white sand and shallow splash pools that are great for families. Meanwhile in the south, Playa Papagayo offers a string of golden-sand coves interrupted by volcanic rock.

Lanzarote has alien landscapes

Lanzarote’s volcanic topography is otherworldly and sometimes extreme. To get up close, head to Timanfaya National Park, which was created from a series of eruptions in the 18th century. The colourful yet vegetation-free area is made up of volcanic soil, which was once used by NASA to test the moon buggy. Then, you can feel like you’ve visited Mars in the Montañas del Fuego, or Fire Mountains, an area of approximately 100 volcanoes. Explore a network of trails for hiking and cycling, or go for a camel ride at Echadero de Camellos. Aside from the island’s lunar landscapes, you’ll find jagged coastlines and occasional microclimates lush with palm trees. The entire island has been declared a Unesco Biosphere Reserve with a focus on conservation.

It’s a prime spot for diving and snorkeling

Lanzarote is blessed with clean, crystal-clear ocean water, providing excellent visibility to see a vast selection of sea life for scuba divers and snorkellers. Beginner divers can pick between several schools offering PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) courses, while experienced divers can enjoy various locations around the island like Charco del Palo and Puerto del Carmen. One must-visit spot is an underwater sculpture museum called Museo Atlantico, located 12m (39ft) below the surface, which scuba divers have access to. As for snorkelling, Playa de Papagayo’s five beaches provide calm, almost emerald-green water, while Playa del Jablillo is known for its low tide. Another snorkelling spot for novices is Playa Chica. The water is safe and warm for optimal underwater viewing.

It’s home to unique architecture

Natural Feature

Lanzarote’s unique architectural style is largely due to the avant-garde designs of Spanish artist-architect César Manrique, who spent much of his life on the island. Also a nature activist, Manrique was influential to the island’s growth and success and helped lobby to keep developments sustainable, low-rise and traditional. (Expect a lot of charming whitewashed homes here; billboards are also forbidden.) Manrique also helped create and curate many of the island’s most impressive art and cultural attractions, like Jameos del Agua, a series of lava caves, plus public sculptures, gardens and even a restaurant. A must-see is Manrique’s former home, dubbed the Volcano House and one of the island’s most popular tourist spots.

It offers charming boutique accommodation

Again, thanks in part to Manrique’s conservation efforts, buildings higher than two storeys are not allowed in most places on the island. One exception is the south coast, where holiday resorts are located. But it’s not difficult for travellers looking to keep with Lanzarote traditions to book a room in one of the whitewashed, eco-friendly boutique hotels sprinkled around the island. Consider Alondras Villas Y Suites, which has 42 villas, mostly with private pools; Casa Camella, a luxury villa and cottage located in the countryside with an ocean view; and Palacio Ico, a charming nine-room hotel surrounded by cobblestone streets in the historic town of Teguise.

Lanzarote is great for water sports

As one of the Canaries’ windiest islands, Lanzarote has a lot to offer surfers, kayakers, windsurfers and kiteboarders. Numerous breakers on its beaches mean lots of great places to learn surfing, especially on Playa de Famara, where there are options for lessons. You’ll also be entertained there by kiteboarders showing their skills on the water while you watch from dry land. Windsurfers can find lessons and equipment on Playa de las Cucharas in Costa Teguise, which has ideal conditions for beginners and advanced windsurfers. Less windy beaches provide stand-up paddleboarding rentals, like Playa Flamingo, which remains calm from manmade breakwaters, as well as the shallow waters of Caleton Blanco. Kayaks can be rented on several beaches, such as Playa Blanca.

You can eat a meal cooked over lava

Restaurant, Seafood

Given the volcanic soil and tough growing conditions, Lanzarote’s quality food options may come as a surprise. Of course, the surrounding waters provide fresh seafood such as shrimp, squid, boquerones (anchovies), dorada (sea bream) and vieja (parrotfish). On land, goat herds lend themselves to local stews and delicious white cheeses, which can be found in most markets. When looking at a menu, check out Canarian favourites like papas arrugadas. These local potatoes are boiled in salt water that turns skins wrinkly and are dipped in mojo sauce: either spicy red or garlicky green. There are plenty of casual tapas bars, chiringuitos (beach shacks) and restaurants to choose from, but don’t miss El Diablo in Timanfaya National Park, which grills food from a large 400C (752F) volcanic hole in the ground.

Lanzarote has a festival dedicated to wine…

When planning a trip to Lanzarote, consider timing it around one of the island’s many concerts, sports matches or carnivals. One event you won’t find anywhere else is the Lanzarote Wine Run each June, drawing a few thousand contestants who run or walk 7.5mi (12km) through the wine region, stopping along the way to taste tapas and wine from local producers. At the end of the trail, there’s a celebration called the Traditional Cuisine Festival. If you want to skip the exercise, then simply head to the festival to sample an assortment of food, wine and beer. It’s free to enter and open to everyone.

…and its wine picks up volcanic flavours

Natural Feature

You may be surprised to learn that the Canary Islands’ desert climate can grow grapes. Lanzarote produces white, red and rosé wines, but the Malvasia Volcanica is the variety that stands out for its history and artisan farming methods. After a series of volcanic eruptions in the 18th century destroyed wheat crops, farmers dug through the ash in search of fertile soil and discovered that grape vines could grow when planted in the soil. This began the movement of planting vines in distinct, conical ditches surrounded by semi-circular lava stone walls to protect them from the winds. Wine is still produced this way today. Set up a private tour or vineyard walk with Wine Tours Lanzarote to see (and try) it for yourself.

You can take day trips to neighbouring islands

Looking to do a little island hopping? Lanzarote is in close proximity to next-door Canary Island Fuerteventura, which is accessible via a 30-minute ferry from Playa Blanca. Many visitors head to Parque Natural de Corralejo to see the expansive sand dunes, or they have lunch in the two neighbouring surf towns called Lajeres and El Cotillo, teeming with laid-back hipsters. A more remote day trip from Lanzarote is to the island of La Graciosa, northeast of Lanzarote and less crowded than the rest of the archipelago. Orzola Port offers 20 daily ferry crossings to La Graciosa, taking 25 minutes. Pack a picnic and explore the island on foot or bicycle (rentals are available), especially the soft-sand beach and turquoise shallows of Playa de las Conchas.

Besuchen Sie Lanzarote (Kanaren) mit Cunard

Betreten Sie ein Land mit faszinierenden Landschaften, sonnenverwöhnten Dörfern, vulkanischen Stränden und luxuriös reichhaltiger Küche.

Die Hafenstadt Arrecife de Lanzarote ist Ihr Tor zu den Zaubern dieses von Lava geformten Landes, das fast wie aus einer anderen Welt scheint – eine Hauptstadt mit einer reichen Vielfalt an Orten zum Entdecken, Schlemmen und Trinken.

Die Hafenstadt Arrecife, ein Naturwunder und beliebtes Juwel der spanischen Kanarischen Inseln, liegt an der Ostküste von Lanzarote, nur 125 km vor der Nordküste Afrikas. Die Insel bietet ein trockenes, sonniges Klima mit wenig Regen und ist seit Langem ein beliebter Hafen für Gäste, die eine Kreuzfahrt zu den Kanarischen Inseln sowie Kreuzfahrten ins Mittelmeer unternehmen.

Es gibt zwei Hauptanlegestellen für Schiffe, die Lanzarote anlaufen: Muelle de Los Mármoles und La Boca de Puerto Naos. Beide Häfen befinden sich in der Nähe der Inselhauptstadt Arrecife und Sie können einen herzlichen Empfang, eine atemberaubende Aussicht und zahlreiche Möglichkeiten erwarten, an beiden Orten in das traditionelle Leben Lanzarotes einzutauchen.

Wichtige Wahrzeichen und Sehenswürdigkeiten in Arrecife de Lanzarote

Es ist unmöglich, nicht überrascht zu sein von der dramatischen Landschaft, die sich vor Ihnen entfaltet, wenn Sie Ihr Schiff auf Lanzarote verlassen. Eine der besten Möglichkeiten, diese mondähnliche Landschaft zu erleben, ist der Besuch des Nationalparks Timanfaya. Der Park liegt im Südosten der Insel und besteht vollständig aus vulkanischem Boden. Er präsentiert eine eindrucksvolle und gleichzeitig wunderschöne Landschaft, die durch Eruptionen in den Jahren 1720, 1736 und 1824 entstanden ist.

Wenn Sie sich für die Geschichte und Architektur von Lanzarote interessieren, kommen Sie im Hafen voll auf Ihre Kosten. Unter anderem haben Sie die Möglichkeit, die Dammwege des Castillo de San Gabriel zu erkunden, einer Festung aus Stein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, die sich auf einer winzigen Insel mit Blick auf Puerto Naos befindet. Das Erlebnis bietet atemberaubende Ausblicke über die Stadt und über das weite Blau des Atlantiks.

Eine weitere interessante Sehenswürdigkeit in der Nähe des Hafens ist die Iglesia de San Ginés. Diese strahlende, weiß getünchte Kirche blickt stolz auf den prächtigen Altstadtplatz von Arrecife und bezaubert mit ihrer kunstvollen Schönheit und ihren Wurzeln, die bis ins 16. Jahrhundert zurückreichen.

Aktivitäten in Arrecife de Lanzarote

Die Kanarischen Inseln sind auch für ihre Strände bekannt und Sie müssen sich nicht weit vom Hafen entfernen, um den weichen goldenen Sand auf Lanzarote zu entdecken. In der Hauptstadt Arrecife befindet sich der Strand Playa del Reducto, wo Sie sich auf einer Sonnenliege zwischen sanft wiegenden Palmen niederlassen oder am nahe gelegenen Riff schnorcheln können.

Wenn Sie in den Norden der Insel reisen, erwartet Sie ein unterirdischer Schatz – Los Jameos del Agua: ein Ort, an dem die Schönheit der Natur auf künstlerisches Flair und architektonische Pracht trifft. Diese Reihe natürlicher Lavahöhlen – eine von ihnen glänzt mit einem von Albinokrebsen bewohnten See mit kristallklarem Wasser – ist einzigartig auf der Welt. Eine andere, ähnlich atemberaubende Höhle umfasst einen sorgfältig gestalteten Konzertsaal, in dem spektakuläre Veranstaltungen und üppige Abendessen stattfinden.

In der Nähe von Los Jameos del Agua können Sie auch die Cueva de los Verdes erleben. Dieses Tunnelsystem aus Lavahöhlen, auch bekannt als die „grünen Höhlen“, entstand vor über 5.000 Jahren als Folge von Vulkanausbrüchen auf der Insel.

Ein weiteres Highlight der Lanzarote-Kreuzfahrt, das für Kunstliebhaber von besonderem Interesse sein könnte, ist die Möglichkeit, das ehemalige Zuhause des rätselhaften Künstlers César Manrique zu besuchen. Das um einen uralten, erhärteten Lavastrom herum erbaute Anwesen weist eine beeindruckende Mischung aus natürlichen und künstlichen Elementen auf. Hier können Sie zudem Kunstwerke von Manrique und Picasso sehen.

Gastronomie am Kreuzfahrthafen Arrecife de Lanzarote

Die traditionellen Gerichte von Lanzarote sorgen für ein vielseitiges und aufregendes kulinarisches Erlebnis, das mit Sicherheit ein Highlight Ihrer Kreuzfahrt sein wird. Stark beeinflusst vom spanischen Erbe der Insel finden sich aber auch Elemente der afrikanischen und lateinamerikanischen Küche in den Gerichten auf den Speisekarten der Bars, Cafés und Restaurants Lanzarotes.

Eine der charakteristischsten Speisen der Insel ist die Soße Mojo, ein Grundnahrungsmittel nicht nur auf Lanzarote, sondern auf der gesamten Kanarischen Inselgruppe. Die roten Mojo-Soßen sind in zwei Varianten erhältlich und für ihren intensiven feurigen Geschmack bekannt, wohingegen die milderen grünen Varianten stark aromatisch sind und mit duftendem Knoblauch, Kräutern und Gewürzen angereichert sind.

Mojo wird oft zusammen mit Papas Arrugadas serviert, einem Gericht aus kleinen, regional angebauten Kartoffeln, die in sehr salzigem Wasser gekocht werden. Nach dem Kochen nehmen die Kartoffeln ein schrumpliges Aussehen an, weshalb sie manchmal mit dem Spitznamen „Schrumpelkartoffeln“ bezeichnet werden.

Ein weiteres beliebtes Gericht auf Lanzarote ist Estofado. Estofado wird am besten als herzhafter Eintopf beschrieben und enthält Rind-, Ziegen- oder eine andere Art langsam gegarten Fleisches, kombiniert mit Kichererbsen und Gemüse der Saison. Auch frischer Fisch ist auf Lanzarote reichlich vorhanden. Empfehlenswert ist das Puntillas de Calamar (ganze Baby-Tintenfische, frittiert und mit einem Spritzer Zitrone serviert), ein besonders beliebtes Gericht bei Einheimischen.

Ein Anlauf auf Lanzarote bietet auch die Möglichkeit, eine Reihe köstlicher Weine zu probieren, die dank des reichhaltigen vulkanischen Bodens, auf dem die Trauben der Insel angebaut werden, einen einzigartigen erdigen Geschmack besitzen.

Shopping in Arrecife de Lanzarote

Eine der besten Gegenden zum Einkaufen auf Lanzarote ist in Reichweite, sobald Sie im Hafen von Bord gehen. Die Calle León y Castillo und die umliegenden Straßen bilden eines der beliebtesten Einkaufszentren der Insel und befinden sich direkt in Arrecife. Hier finden Sie alle Arten von regionalen Handwerks-, Mode- und Geschenkeläden zum Stöbern sowie unabhängige Boutiquen, die eine große Auswahl an Artikeln verkaufen.

Handgefertigte Souvenirs erhalten Sie auch in vielen kleineren Dörfern rund um die Insel sowie an den Ständen auf den täglich stattfindenden Märkten und Basaren.

Verkehrsanbindung in Arrecife de Lanzarote

Abhängig davon, wo Ihr Schiff anlegt, werden im Allgemeinen Shuttlebusse im Hafen zur Verfügung gestellt, die Sie zum Stadtzentrum von Arrecife bringen.

Am Hafen und in der ganzen Stadt stehen zudem Taxis zur Verfügung. Suchen Sie einfach nach einem weißen Taxi mit grünem Licht.

Wenn Sie sich weiter hinauswagen möchten, vielleicht um andere Teile der Insel zu erkunden, steht ein örtlicher Busservice zur Verfügung. Fahrkarten können entweder an ausgewiesenen Bushaltestellen oder direkt beim Fahrer an Bord gekauft werden.

Mehrere Fähren fahren auch täglich zu einigen der kleineren Inseln der Region und zu größeren Kanarischen Inseln wie Teneriffa und Gran Canaria. Wenn Sie sich entscheiden, einen Ausflug außerhalb von Lanzarote zu unternehmen, überprüfen Sie bitte unbedingt die Fahrzeiten, einschließlich der Dauer, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie rechtzeitig zum Hafen zurückkehren, um wieder an Bord Ihres Schiffes zu gehen.

Die Hafenanlagen von Arrecife de Lanzarote

Wenn Ihr Schiff an der Anlegestelle Muelle de Cruceros anlegt, steht ein Shuttlebus zur Verfügung, der Sie die kurze Strecke ins Stadtzentrum bringt. Wenn Sie lieber zu Fuß gehen, dauert der Spaziergang etwa 15 bis 20 Minuten.

In der unmittelbaren Umgebung des Hafens befinden sich mehrere kleine Geschäfte, ein Supermarkt, Bars und Restaurants sowie eine Touristeninformation. Es gibt auch eine Autovermietung, falls Sie während Ihrer Zeit im Hafen unabhängig in andere Teile der Insel fahren möchten.

Kurztipps für Arrecife de Lanzarote

Währung

Als Gebiet von Spanien ist die auf Lanzarote und den umliegenden Kanarischen Inseln verwendete Währung der Euro. Es stehen zahlreiche Geldautomaten zur Verfügung und viele Einrichtungen akzeptieren Debit- oder Kreditkarten. Ihr Kartenaussteller kann Ihnen jedoch möglicherweise Gebühren für die von Ihnen getätigten Transaktionen in Rechnung stellen. Aus diesem Grund raten wir Ihnen, bei Einkäufen an Land ein wenig Bargeld dabei zu haben.

Trinkgeld

Es ist üblich, in Restaurants auf Lanzarote ein Trinkgeld von etwa 5 bis 15 % des Gesamtbetrags Ihrer Rechnung zu hinterlassen. Sehr wenige Einrichtungen werden eine Servicegebühr in die Endrechnung aufnehmen. Wenn diese allerdings berechnet wurde, wird kein zusätzliches Trinkgeld erwartet.

In informelleren Bars und Cafés ist es üblich, das übrig gebliebene Wechselgeld von Ihrer Rechnung einfach dortzulassen, vorausgesetzt, Sie hatten nur ein oder zwei Getränke. Wenn Sie länger bleiben oder mehrere Getränke bestellen, ist es üblich, wie in Restaurants 5 bis 15 % des Gesamtrechnungsbetrags als Trinkgeld zu geben.

Bei Taxifahrten ist das Aufrunden auf den nächsten ganzen Euro üblich, jedoch nie um mehr als 10 %.

Wetter

Wie die übrigen Kanarischen Inseln genießt Lanzarote ein subtropisches Klima mit reichlich warmem Sonnenschein das ganze Jahr über.

Der Sommer kann besonders warm und feucht sein, wobei die Temperaturen im August etwa 31 °C erreichen.

Frühling und Winter sind die beliebtesten Jahreszeiten, um die Insel zu besuchen, mit täglichen Durchschnittstemperaturen von angenehmen 21 °C und sehr wenig Niederschlag – ideal sowohl für Strandbesucher als auch Entdecker.

Visiting Lanzarote: Why the Island Is Unlike Anything Else in the World

Artists have been leaving their marks on places since the first petroglyph was etched on a cave wall. And across time, artists have helped define their region’s identity, from the Roman masterworks of Michaelangelo to the Mexico City murals of Diego Rivera.

Cesar Manrique was not content to simply leave his mark on a place he loved. Instead, the Spanish artist, architect, and sculptor was given free rein to turn his tiny island home off the coast of North Africa into a psychedelic dream come to life. Now, that island paradise is one of the funkiest, most unexpected places on Earth—and with Spain and the Canary Islands both recently reopened to fully vaccinated travelers, Manrique’s work on Lanzarote is sure to remind you that “unprecedented” can be a good thing.

Manrique was born on Lanzarote, a tiny island in the Canary Island archipelago—seven volcanic islands that are technically part of Spain, but much closer in proximity and climate to North Africa. In the late 1960s, he was given permission from the Spanish government to redesign much of the island to appeal to tourists, employing his Lewis Carroll-meets-M. C. Escher-meets-Andy Warhol aesthetic to mold the island into a trippy fantasyland.

To be clear, Lanzarote was already naturally otherworldly. The 327-square-mile island looks like the face of the moon, dappled with craters, sliced by plunging ravines, and smeared with valleys of solidified lava. It is home to the sprawling Timanfaya National Park in the Montañas del Fuego, with a driving route that winds in and around 25 dormant craters. The rich soils of that lunar landscape also make for superlative viticulture, and its mountains are cloaked in red and purple.

Its signature beach, Playa Papagayo, is tucked into between towering cliffs, the colors transitioning from muted volcanic tones to golden sands and deep turquoise waters. Between the surfing, vineyards, volcanoes, and climate, Lanzarote was one of Spain’s best-kept secrets well before Manrique tweaked its surreality.

If Manrique wanted Lanzarote to be even more surrealistic, he was going to have to work for it. Fortunately, he did. Today, Lanzarote is home to underground cave systems-turned-concert venues, LED-lit subterranean chambers, and lunar cactus gardens. There’s even a restaurant that uses the island’s natural volcanic heat to prepare its food—all designed as part of Manrique’s singular vision.

Traditionally white buildings are mandated to get a splash of green | BremecR / E+ / getty images

Manrique sculpted his artistic vision in New York in the 1960s, where he was friends with Warhol amid the city’s legendary, hedonistic art scene. Toward the end of the 1960s he returned to his birthplace as the tourism industry was in its infancy and looking to make its overlooked beauty a known commodity.

The artist’s experience with abstract expressionism, pop art, and sculpture drove his vision for the design of the island, one which he called “art-nature/nature-art.” While in the past people had described Lanzarote as barren, bizarre, and boring, he saw its potential as obvious. The idea: Blend abstract art seamlessly into the landscape. The result? Most of the island has been shaped by the inner acid trip that was Manrique’s mind, making it a giant, living installation at the confluence of Mother Nature and modern expression.

Jameos del Agua is a colorful descent into an underground wonderland | A.Ruiz/Shutterstock

Perhaps the most stunning of Manrique’s work on Lanzarote is Jameos del Agua, a network of underground tubes caused by the eruption of La Corona volcano around 4,000 years ago. The caves—now one of the largest public art projects in the world—were the foundation for Manrique’s vision. The artist morphed the system into a sensory experience, with LED lighting, optical illusions, and lakes that appear to be mirages.

At the end of the cavernous maze, you’ll reach Jameo Grande, a sprawling underground concert hall that doubles as a restaurant, bar, and nightclub. After all, Manrique was embedded in New York’s swinging arts scene, so it’s safe to say he was frequently on the guest list of Studio 54. Consider this his version of that, only with more stalagmites.

Jardín de Cactus is Manrique’s final masterpiece | BremecR / E+ / getty images

But Manrique was more than an architect of the underworld. Visitors to Lanzarote will notice that most of the buildings are washed in white, with a bright Kelly green trim around the doors and windows. Historically the buildings on Lanzarote were always white, but Manrique added that pop of green, because what is life without a little color? Today it is government-mandated that all buildings follow the same aesthetic.

His cactus garden—Jardín de Cactus—is famous island-wide for its more than 1,100 species of cacti from all over the world. This was the last major work of art that Manrique designed on Lanzarote before his death in 1992.

Mirador del Rio is the closest you can get to seeing Manrique’s entire vision at once | Albrecht Schlotter / EyeEm / getty images

While Lanzarote is a hyper-focused project of the artist, he also believed in offering perspective on the bigger picture, so he constructed a 1,300-foot viewing point, Mirador del Rio, that looks out over a smaller islet of the Canary Islands and straight out to sea. It is, in a way, the perfect way to see the full panorama of what Manrique did with this giant canvas (at least on the surface), and the closest you’ll get to viewing it like a piece of art hanging in a gallery.

This is unlike anything else in Spain. Or anywhere else in the world. Nothing like it has existed before, nor will it exist after. That’s the allure… and the whole point.

Both islands are relatively touristic, but you won’t really see swarms of tourists in any place, on either island. The most crowded place I can think of is probably the resort area of Playa del Ingles (Maspalomas) or Puerto de Mogan. These two areas can see high crowds when the weather is warm.

Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria

In Lanzarote, the most popular place for tourists is the resort town of Puerto del Carmen, followed by Costa Teguise. However, we’ve visited all these places above and didn’t found the crowds to be overwhelming.

Gran Canaria and Lanzarote both have great beaches, if that’s what you’re coming to the islands for. Lanzarote’s beaches are slightly more unconventional, as some may have black sand instead of the typical golden sand you might find in other places. Gran Canaria’s beaches are nice, and more of what you would normally expect from a beach.

Maspolamas Sand Dunes, Gran Canaria

Both are reasonably priced (I didn’t notice a big difference in costs) and have equally friendly people. Now, let’s jump into the differences between the two islands.

Why I loved Gran Canaria…

Diversity of Nature

The diversity of Gran Canaria’s is breathtaking.

This was just a stop on the road in Gran Canaria!

For me, I preferred Gran Canaria’s scenery over Lanzarote’s. You get a real variety of nature in the GC.

Maspolamas Sand Dunes, Gran Canaria

By driving through the island, you’ll get to witness dramatic cliffs and mountains, nice beaches, verdant greenery, sand dunes (see: Maspalomas Sand Dunes) and more. It’s like having a few continents in one small island. You’ll get a hint of African desert-looking sand dunes, Yosemite-esque scenery, and Mediterranean beaches reminiscent of the Greek islands.

Mirador del Pico de los Pozos de las Nieves, Gran Canaria

Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria

Of course, beauty is subjective and you might find that you prefer Lanzarote’s scenery – but I felt like Gran Canaria’s range of nature was much more diverse.

Colourful Small Towns and Cities
I also preferred Gran Canaria’s small towns and cities. I found them to be more colourful, alive and charming. Lanzarote’s towns and villages seem to be centred on just a few colours (usually white, brown, blue), whereas Gran Canaria’s feature brighter aspects.

Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria

Telde, Gran Canaria

Places like Puerto de Mogan, Firgas, Tejeda and Arucas just felt like they had a bit more dimension to them.

Teror, Gran Canaria

If we’re comparing capitals, I would choose Las Palmas in Gran Canaria over Arrecife in Lanzarote. Arrecife is perfectly fine as a place to visit for a day, but it’s not the most attractive city you’ll find. If you’re visiting Las Palmas, you should definitely make a trip to Vegueta and go up the The Basilica Cathedral of Santa Ana, where you’ll be treated to amazing views of the island.

Vegueta, Gran Canaria

Make sure you climb up Santa Ana Cathedral to get this view of Las Palmas.

So Many Hiking Opportunities
Gran Canaria is a mountainous island, so hikers will find no shortage of trails to embark on.

Mirador del Pico de los Pozos de las Nieves,

From the Roque Nublo area to the Pico de Las Nieves, Gran Canaria is teeming with hiking opportunities.

Mirador Degollada de Becerra, Gran Canaria

A mixture of local culture and good tourism infrastructure
Gran Canaria attracts visitors from all around the world, so it’s no surprise that it’s very well-suited to handling visitors. However, it also has a much larger local population than Lanzarote – around 865,750 compared to around 151,000 – and this will be felt throughout your visit to the islands.

Teror, Gran Canaria

Vegueta, Gran Canaria

I liked seeing local life in Gran Canaria just as much as I liked checking out the sights, so you will get more of this cultural blend in the GC over Lanzarote.

What I didn’t love about Gran Canaria…

Driving in Gran Canaria
Driving in Gran Canaria isn’t the most difficult thing I’ve done, but it also isn’t the easiest. If you’re going along the main highways, then you’ll be fine. However, if you’re traveling inland to places like Tejeda and Roque Nublo, you’ll likely have to drive through some hairpin turns that can get kind of dicey!

Tejeda, Gran Canaria

We drove from Puerto de las Nieves to Playa de la Aldea (both beautiful beachside places), and encountered many semi-scary turns where large trucks would squeeze past us on the narrowest of winding streets. This was a little bit anxiety-inducing.

Playa de la Aldea, Gran Canaria

We were fine in the end, but we did find driving in Gran Canaria to be more difficult than in Lanzarote.

Puerto Nieves, Gran Canaria

Distances between sights
As the third largest Canary Island (behind Tenerife and Fuerteventura), Gran Canaria is slightly bigger than Lanzarote, which comes in fourth out of all the islands. This means that the distances between sights are slightly bigger than what you would find in Lanzarote, so you should set aside more time to see all that you want to see.

Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria

The plus-side to Gran Canaria’s shape is that it’s basically a circle, so you’ll never actually be that far from any point on the island. Even going from one end of the island to the other (for example, driving from Vegueta to Puerto de Mogan) will only take about an hour.

Busy Resort Towns
I’ve touched on this before, but if you’re not someone who enjoys crowds, you might want to stay away from the Playa del Ingles area, where the partying and nightlife scene is well and truly alive.

Maspolamas Beach, Gran Canaria

Still, it’s easy to find peace and quiet in Gran Canaria, even just a short drive away from these touristy areas.

Where did I stay in Gran Canaria?

Rooftop pool at Hotel s.XVI in Telde.

I stayed in Hotel s.XVI, which is located in the small charming town of Telde. Although parking was a small issue, I absolutely loved my stay here. The rooms were immaculate, the staff were super friendly, and the property even had a rooftop pool.

Telde, Gran Canaria

The town of Telde was super cute, and a great base to explore other areas of the island. 10/10 would recommend.

What I loved about Lanzarote…

Out-of-this-world Landscapes

An example of Lanzarote’s alien-like landscapes.

Lanzarote’s most unique aspect is its alien-like landscape. Because Lanzarote is a highly volcanic island, the nature here will be different than any of the other Canary Islands.

Volcan El Cuervo, Lanzarote

Charco de los Clicos (Verde), Lanzarote

You almost feel like you’re not on planet earth as you check out sights like Volcan el Cuervo, Timanfaya National Park and Charco de los Clicos. The scenery here is really peculiar and surprising in the best way.

View from Lagomar Museum, Lanzarote.

Proximity of sights
Lanzarote is a smaller island than Gran Canaria, so you’ll find that driving between the majority of must-do attractions takes much less time. This might be a major contributing factor to your choice if you only have a limited amount of time to explore.

Mirador Del Rio, Lanzarote

From Mirador Del Rio, which is right at the top of the island, to Playa del Papagayo, which is right at the bottom of the island, it will only take just over an hour by driving.

Mirador Del Rio, Lanzarote

Playa del Papagayo, Lanzarote

Mixture of manmade sights and natural sights

Jameos del Agua Water Cave, Lanzarote

Something really cool about Lanzarote is the mixture between natural sights and man-made attractions such as Lagomar Museum, Le Jardin de Cactus de Lanzarote and Jameos del Agua.

Lagomar Museum, Lanzarote

Inside look at Lagomar Museum, Lanzarote

Le Jardin de Cactus, Lanzarote

Very interesting-looking Cactuses at Le Jardin de Cactus, Lanzarote

In fact, I actually preferred the manmade sights over the natural ones in Lanzarote. You’ll find that Lanzarote has a lot of these quirky, unique, architectural attractions that are designed by César Manrique, an artist, sculptor, architect and nature activist from the island. This gave Lanzarote sort of a mysterious, fashionable, editorial feel to it.

Easy driving
Driving around Lanzarote is a lot more straightforward than in Gran Canaria. There are only a few major roads that will take you through most of the highlights on the island.

Driving around Lanzarote.

There aren’t as many hairpin turns and difficult passages to drive through in Lanzarote, compared to Gran Canaria. A lot of it will be like driving on any highway, so for the most part, it is totally safe to drive in Lanzarote.

What I didn’t Love about Lanzarote…

Repetitive Scenery

Le Jardin de Cactus, Lanzarote

Lanzarote doesn’t have as much diversity in its nature as Gran Canaria. Although its alien-like landscapes are truly one-of-a-kind, most of the island features this kind of nature.

Los Hervideros, Lanzarote

Volcan el Cuervo, Lanzarote

The island is not a particularly fertile one, so you won’t see much in the way of greenery or mountains. For some, this might be what they’re looking for. For others, they might get easily bored at the nature after spending more than a few days.

More tourist-oriented
Playa del Papagayo, Lanzarote

Some may not agree with me on this, but I feel like the whole island is a lot more geared towards tourism than Gran Canaria. While Gran Canaria is alive, even without tourists, how ‘alive’ Lanzarote feels really depends on the number of tourists.

Salinas de Janubio, Lanzarote

This means if you visit off-the-beaten track places on the island, you might be the only one there. But if you visit more popular attractions, it’s almost a guarantee that a lot of people will be there. We found this to be the case when visiting Jameos del Agua, Le Jardin de Cactus, Los Hervideros and more. There were a lot of tour buses pulling up every few minutes, and in general, Lanzarote just felt a lot busier than Gran Canaria (apart from the area of Playa del Ingles).

Volcan el Cuervo, Lanzarote

As a result of this, I did feel that Gran Canaria was culturally richer than Lanzarote, as there was more of a mix between local life and tourist sites.

Where did I stay in Lanzarote?
I stayed in a cute little apartment in the resort area of Costa Teguise. The area was central and really convenient – with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops and pharmacies. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my stay here.

So which should I visit – Gran Canaria or Lanzarote?

Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria

I preferred Gran Canaria for its natural diversity, but it’ll depend on your interests.

If you only have 2-3 days, you should visit Lanzarote – especially if you want to check out volcanic landscapes, architectural sites and you’re looking for an easier driving experience.

Le Jardin de Cactus, Lanzarote

On the other hand, if you have more than 3 days, you should visit Gran Canaria, as to me, there’s more to see and do, and overall was the more interesting island culturally of the two.

Playa de la Aldea, Gran Canaria

However, if you have time to visit both, then I would recommend doing so as I really enjoyed my time visiting both of these contrasting islands.

How do I get around the islands?

Mirador Degollada de Becerra, Gran Canaria

There are public transportation options, but honestly, driving is by far the best way to go – especially if you’re short on time like we were. Driving will just give you that extra flexibility to stop whenever you feel like (and trust me, there are a lot of those random stops that somehow have no name but are totally worth stopping for).

This was just a random turn-off from the road in Gran Canaria. Amazing, right?

Europcar is a reliable car hire company available in both Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. CICAR is also a great local company that operates out of the Canaries.

Things to do on Lanzarote

Contents

Lanzarote might be small but it punches well above its weight in terms of sightseeing. As well as wineries, white-washed villages, luxury villas and national parks, it’s home to some unique visitor attractions. If you want to know what to do in Lanzarote you’ve come to the right place.

When I visited I discovered a small island big on unusual and fascinating sights. At just 60 km (37 mi) long and 25 km (16 mi) wide, it’s ideal to explore by car. You can get around pretty much all of the island in a day or two which means you’ll have plenty of time on the beach or by the pool as well as all the other things to do on Lanzarote.

There’s something in Lanzarote that’ll appeal to everyone from art lovers to outdoor enthusiasts, nature buffs and wine connoisseurs. Water lovers are taken care of too with scuba diving, snorkelling and sailing. Here’s what to do in Lanzarote for every kind of traveller.

César Manrique’s legacy

Lanzarote’s famous architect, César Manrique, had a major influence on the island’s planning regulations. He lobbied successfully to make sure that any new buildings are in keeping with the island’s traditional colours, style and with no high rise buildings.

Because of this, the coastline has no tower-blocks which gives the island a more traditional Spanish feel than some of the other Canary Islands like Tenerife or Fuertaventura.

Manrique’s ethos was to combine art and nature in a unique way and on a sustainable level. He was an eco warrior of sorts and well ahead of his time. Visiting some of the César Manrique attractions were top of my list of things to do on Lanzarote so that’s where I’m going to start.

The cactus garden and windmill

What to do in Lanzarote if you love plants? A visit to the Cactus garden, even if you’re not that into cacti, is a fun way to fill an hour ot two. It’s also a fabulous place to photograph.

The Jardin de Cactus is a César Manrique creation built into an old quarry; a perfect example of architecture integrated into the landscape. You’ll find it in the north of the island between Mala and Guatiza.

Jardin de Cactus

The garden houses over 7,500 cacti from around the world and has been established for over 25 years which means some of the cacti are now pretty big.

The dark grey lava stone used to build the walls and terraces make a nice contrast to the prickly plants. The cacti are interspersed with volcanic stone sculptures and there are Manrique design touches throughout from quirky cactus-shaped door handles to unusual signs for the toilets.

Jardin de Cactus, Lanzarote

Most of the cactus garden is explored by walking along sloping pathways and ramps but there are some steps which are quite steep so not suitable for everybody.

Curved wooden stairs inside the windmill take you up to the top to see its workings and there are wonderful views across the gardens from its base. There’s a cafe and gift shop selling souvenirs and, unsurprisingly, cacti.

Windmill at Cactus Garden

César Manrique’s Jardín de Cactus is open every day from 10:00 to 17:45, it costs €5.80 per adult and €2. 90 per child (7-12 years). Discounts for residents apply.

Jameos del Agua

Los Jameos del Agua is inside a lava tube. The volcanic tunnel was formed when Volcano La Corona erupted three to four thousand years ago. The idea of exploring a lava tube was a definite must-see for me.

A ‘Jameo’ is a volcanic cave made of lava rock and has a collapsed roof. There are many of these caves, or tubes, on the island but del Agua is probably the best known. It’s located in the north of Lanzarote and is part of the Atlantida cave system.

The lake at Jameos del Agua

Artist césar manrique had the idea of turning the ‘jameos’ into a visitor centre with restaurant, museum, tropical gardens, swimming pool and 600 seat auditorium. All this within a lava tube makes a very unique Lanzarote attraction.

Underground Lagoon

When we arrived we made our way down a spiral staircase to an underground salt-water lagoon, Jameo Chico, (small Jameo) which has crystal clear waters.

Tiny, blind albino crabs (Munidopsis Polimorpha) live in the lagoon. They’re are the symbol of Jameo Agua and dot the floor of the lake like a starry sky. Look closely you’ll see thousands of the ‘glow in the dark’ crabs.

A walk alongside the lake through the lava tube brings you to a garden of plants and a vivid turquoise pool which a solitary palm bowing over it. The lagoon is picture postcard perfect.

A 600 seater auditorium, added in 1987, is a venue for concerts and festivals and takes up the whole of an underground lava bubble. You can take a look during the day but I imagine going in the evening for a concert would be wonderful. The acoustics are pretty amazing in there.

Opening hours at Jameos del Agua are every day from 10:00 to 18:30 and special opening from 19:00 – 01:00 Saturday and Tuesday. The restaurant is open from 11:30 to 16:30 and the cafeteria from 10:00 to 18:30. It costs €9.50 for Adults and €4,75 per child (7-12 years).

Mirador del Rio

El Mirador del Río is an observation point sitting high up on the Risco de Famara, in the north of the Island. It’s barely visible from the outside as it’s been integrated completely into the volcanic lava cliff face. Of course it’s another César Manrique creation.

At an altitude of 474 metres it’s home to some spectacular views – the Archipiélago Chinijo Nature Reserve, Graciosa Island, Famara Cliff and down the North West coast of the island.

Famara Cliff – on the best things to do on Lanzarote

Inside the building are two white cavernous rooms, the curved, smooth walls contrast with the dark porous texture of the volcanic lava outside. Two huge picture windows open out onto the incredible view but I preferred to enjoy it from the outdoor terrace.

The island of La Graciosa is separated from Lanzarote by a narrow strip of sea called “El Río” (The River) and it’s this that gives its name to the observation point. There are good views from the terrace of the Famara Cliff and the red-coloured “Salinas del Río” of “Guza”, the oldest salt mines in Lanzarote. If you’re looking for spectacular views then this is one of the best things to do on Lanzarote.

Admission is €4.75 for adults and €2.70 for children – reductions apply for Canarian residents

Rent a car and explore Lanzarote

All three of the above attractions are near to each other on the north side of the island so it’s worth planning to see all of them on the same day.

We hired a car and got around all the sights in this post in one day – it’s the way to go if you like to explore independently. Car rental was extremely affordable at around €50 and as it’s a small island we didn’t spend a fortune on fuel, in fact it came to under €14. So with four of us in the car the total cost was less than €16 per person to get around the whole island. The best part of renting a car is stopping when something catches your attention – you can pull over and check it out and I can assure you we did!

Lanzarote Tours and Excursions

What to do in Lanzarote if you don’t want to drive? Well that’s easy too because there’s a huge choice of excursions, day trips and tours available. If you’re arriving by cruise ship there’s a choice of day tours of the island too.

La Geria – Lanzarote’s Vineyards

Lanzarote has a wine-producing tradition that began as far back as the fifteenth century. Heading towards the centre of the island on the road from San Bartolomé to Playa Blanca you’ll find La Geria.

It’s an area of vineyards and wineries in the shadow of a brooding volcano range. It’s one of the more unusal sights in the Canary Islands and if you’re a wine lover this is one Lanzarote attraction you won’t want to miss.

The vineyards in Lanzarote aren’t like any you’ll have ever seen before. A massive eruption in 1730 lasting six years covered this part of the island in thick, black volcanic ash and put a stop to any cultivation except for the grapevine.

Zocos and Bodegas

Each vine is grown in a round hollow and surrounded by a small crescent-shaped wall called a Zocos. These protect the vines from the near-constant winds. There’s little rainfall in Lanzarote and the volcanic ash preserves soil moisture around the plant ensuring it has enough water to grow.

I went in February when the vines weren’t sprouting yet but it was still worth visiting. The sight of row upon row of Zocos sitting in seas of black sand was surreal. There are plenty of bodegas to stop at for a tapas lunch, and of course the wine is excellent…

The César Manrique Foundation – Casa del Palmeral

The César Manrique Foundation is Manrique’s former home, Taro de Tahiche, and is located a ten-minute drive from Arrecife.

Manrique took an organic approach and built his home into an old lava flow which is made up of five underground cavern rooms set in natural volcanic bubbles. Each bubble is connected to the next by underground tunnel and the whole creation completed in 1968. The sunken garden and courtyard are calm spaces with traditional Canarian features.

The foundation also houses the best art gallery on the island with a modern art collection, including drawings by Picasso and Miro. There’s another gallery for smaller exhibitions, a shop and cafe too.

Admission: €8 adults, children under 12 €1. Open: 10.00-18.00 Monday to Saturday, 10.00-15.00 Sunday

Timanfaya National Park

I’ve saved the best until last. The volcanoes and lava fields of Timanfaya National Park were the most breathtaking of the things to do on Lanzarote. Covering an area of over 51 square km in the south west of the island these are the same volcanoes that blew their tops in 1730 covering La Geria wine area in black ash and small pebbles of lapilli.

Volcano cone at Timanfaya

Lanzarote’s Volcanoes – Fire Mountains

A group of over 100 volcanoes, Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains) and their massive rippling lava fields make up Timanfaya National Park. It’s the main focus of Lanzarote’s UNESCO biosphere reserve. If you want to know what to do in Lanzarote for outdoor enthusiasts this is the one thing not to be missed.

Intense heat rages under the earth here. We watched as a park ranger poured a bucket of water into a small hole in the lava. It burst back out seconds later in a plume of hot water and steam. You wouldn’t want to get too close.

Geyser spout at Timanfaya

To protect the unique flora and fauna from trampling boots visitors are not allowed to walk unescorted. If you’re really keen to explore you can take the Ruta de Tremesana, a three-hour walk, with a park ranger. It’s advisable to book ahead as they get busy.

Check rates for guided hikes to Timanfaya National Park

El Diablo Bus Tour

El Diablo buses leave from the nearby car park every 20 minutes for a tour around the volcano craters and lava field. The cost of the bus is included in your entry fee. Pre-recorded commentaries in Spanish, English and German tell interesting facts about the area and you’ll pass some spectacular views of the craters and landscape.

Once the bus tour starts passengers are not allowed to alight so any photographs you want to take will have to be taken from the bus. The ones below were all taken from the bus so it is possible to get some good shots.

Tip: Sit next to the window on the right hand side of the bus for the best views.

Timanfaya National Park

Lava Fields in Timanfaya National Park

The road ribbons through the lava field which, in places, looks as though it’s only just solidified from its cascading, bubbling path towards the coast. The scenery we passed was incredible with steep slopes of grey and black around the gaping mouths of the cones.

Rust, orange and maroon peaks contrasted with ochre sands while scrubby plants clung to the slopes of picon. The driver navigated some pretty tight bends to get the best views into some of the peaks.

Fire Mountains – probably the best thing to do on Lanzarote

Timanfaya National Park is located in the west of Lanzarote, off the LZ-67 between Yaiza and Tinajo. Enter at the gate and continue on to the visitor centre, Islote de Hilario, which is about 1 km up the road. There are fabulous views over the landscape.

If you don’t have a hire car you might want to consider a day tour of Timanfaya National Park.

There’s an exhibition located in Mancha Blanca which you’ll find further along the LZ-67. You may want to visit when you’ve finished your visit to the park.

The park is open daily from 10.00 – 17.45. The El Diablo buses cost €10 adults and €4 for children. Worth every last cent.

Tip: If you plan to see more than two of these sights during your stay you might want to buy a combo ticket for a group of attractions and save a few euros. As you’ve seen there’s quite a list of things to do on Lanzarote so a combo ticket will help you budget.

Roaming Through Lanzarote’s Otherworldly Vineyards

At the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, with travel restrictions in place worldwide, we launched a series — The World Through a Lens — in which photojournalists help transport you, virtually, to some of our planet’s most beautiful and intriguing places. This week, Mónica R. Goya shares a collection of images from the Spanish island of Lanzarote.

Situated some 80 miles off the southwest coast of Morocco, Lanzarote — with its stunning coastline, desert-like climate and plethora of volcanoes — is the easternmost of Spain’s Canary Islands. Major volcanic activity between 1730 and 1736, and again in 1824, indelibly altered the island’s landscape and helped pave the way for an improbable sight: a vast expanse of otherworldly vineyards.

In recent years, Spain has devoted more land to vines than any other country in the world. And while the Canary Islands, more broadly, have a longstanding wine tradition — the archipelago’s wines, for example, were mentioned in several of Shakespeare’s plays — nothing could prepare me for the uniqueness of Lanzarote’s vines.

At the coastal rock formations known as Los Hervideros, underwater caves create dramatic sound (and visual) effects.The dark sand beach near Charco de los Clicos, on Lanzarote’s western coast.

Image

The Papagayo coast, at the southern tip of the island, is known for its sandy beaches and calm waters.Famara Beach, in the north, is three miles long and popular among surfers.

The most remarkable wine area on the island is La Geria, a 13,000-acre protected landscape which lies at the foot of Timanfaya National Park, one of Lanzarote’s main tourist attractions. It was here in Timanfaya that volcanic eruptions buried around a quarter of the island (including La Geria) under a thick layer of lava and ash, creating a breathtakingly barren scene — and eventually leading to a new way of growing vines.

The 10-mile-long Route of the Volcanoes at Timanfaya National Park follows a single-track road.Characteristic scenery — with almost extraterrestrial qualities — at Timanfaya National Park.

Many of the vines on Lanzarote are planted in inverted conical holes known as hoyos, which are dug by hand to various depths, each one made in search of the fertile soil underneath the ash and lapilli. In a counterintuitive twist, the ash plays an essential role in the vineyards’ success: It protects the ground from erosion, helps retain moisture and regulates soil temperature.

Low semicircular rock walls protect the vines from the merciless winds. Together with the hoyos, they contribute to an inventive growing method that might easily be mistaken for a network of sculptural art.

Harvesting grapes from deep hoyos near the village of Masdache, in La Geria.A bunch of white grapes of the Diego variety, which are famous for their acidity.Vines grow in a hillside plot near the village of Uga.

La Geria is a superb example of humans working hand-in-hand with nature. In a way, the immense — if desolate — beauty of this area is evidence of human resilience in the face of adversity: For hundreds of years, inhabitants here have managed to extract life from volcanic ash on an island often plagued by drought.

Houses across the island are typically rectangular in shape, and are painted white.

But changing weather patterns (including scarcer-than-usual rainfall) and harsh economic realities are persistent threats. The traditional hoyos system can yield about 1,200 pounds of grapes per acre. Other less traditional (and less time intensive) cultivation systems on the island can yield up to 6,000 pounds per acre — by utilizing higher-density growing techniques and some forms of mechanization.

Timanfaya National Park covers about 20 square miles.

An economist by trade and environmentalist at heart, the winegrower Ascensión Robayna has a strong connection to Lanzarote and a serious commitment to conservation. For years she has tended high-maintenance and low-yielding organic vineyards, adamantly asserting that this unique landscape, and the traditions embedded within it, must be kept alive.

“Growing vines in hoyos means that farmers adapted to the special circumstances of soil and climate, creating the most singular of the agrarian ecosystems,” she said.

Ascensión Robayna stands beside a lava fissure, called a chaboco, where ancient muscat vines are grown. Ms. Robayna outside Puro Rofe, a winery founded on the island in 2018.

There’s an obvious sparkle in Ms. Robayna’s eyes whenever she descends into the lava fissures, called chabocos, where trees and grapevines — especially muscat grapes, among the oldest of varieties — are grown. (Puro Rofe, a winery founded on the island in 2018, recently released a wine made exclusively from her chaboco-grown grapes.)

Ms. Robayna among her vines, with the El Cuervo volcano in the distance.

In the late 19th century, a pestilent aphid, phylloxera, decimated grapevines throughout mainland Europe. (The wine industry there was salvaged by grafting European vines onto American rootstocks, which were immune to phylloxera.) By contrast, phylloxera never reached Canarian shores. As a result, vines here can be planted on their own roots — a relative rarity in the wine world.

Hundred-year-old vines and unique grape varieties are a common sight across the islands. Malvasia Volcánica is arguably the island’s most well-known grape variety; others include Listán Negro, Diego and Listán Blanco.

In La Geria, grapes from the hoyos are harvested by hand.

Once, while visiting a set of vineyards near Uga, a small village in southern Lanzarote, I followed the winegrower Vicente Torres as he climbed barefoot — the traditional way of working here — up the hillside to inspect his vines. With the lapilli tickling my feet, and while sinking slightly with each step, I found the ascent more arduous than I’d anticipated. Growing anything in this soil, I learned, is hard work.

According to regulatory data, this year’s harvest is expected to be less than half of last year’s, with a forecast of about 2.6 million pounds of grapes.

“The oldest men around here say they don’t recall a year as bad for vineyards as this,” said Pablo Matallana, an oenologist who grew up on neighboring Tenerife but has family roots on Lanzarote. “We have been enduring two years of extreme drought. Some plots have debilitated considerably, and the vigor of the vines has decreased,” he said.

Rayco Fernández, a founding member of the Puro Rofe winery and a distributor praised for having been one of the first to showcase quality Canarian wines, agreed. “The drought is ruining vineyards,” he said, adding that the ash, where there is a thick enough layer of it, has been a lifeline.

But Lanzarote faces other threats, too. Tourism accounts for a significant portion of the island’s gross domestic product. And, despite a relatively low number of confirmed coronavirus infections, this economic sector has largely evaporated.

According to a Covid-19 economic impact study conducted at La Laguna University, Lanzarote’s G. D.P. is projected to drop by 21 percent.

With the number of winegrowers falling, and climate change wreaking havoc, the future of winemaking on Lanzarote appears more challenging than ever.

There’s no doubt, though, that the island holds a kind of mythical sway over its visitors. It’s been almost a year since my last trip to Lanzarote, yet I continue to revisit certain images in my mind: of vines emerging from the majestic hoyos at the foot of Timanfaya — a splendor still to be treasured there, at least for now.

Lanzarote Paradise Hotel (Lanzarote, Canary Islands (Spain))

The fourth largest island of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote, located off the coast of Africa, surprises and attracts with its unusual landscape and color contrasts. In 1730-1736, Lanzarote was shaken by a six-year-long volcanic eruption that irreversibly changed both the island and the everyday life of its inhabitants. A large amount of fertile land and settlements were buried under an abundant layer of lava, part of the territory was covered with a thick layer of dust.

A powerful force of nature has thus created an amazing view and incredible contrasts that delight everyone who comes to Lanzarote. In some places on the island, it may seem as if you are on the moon: craters and caves of volcanic origin rise here. There are many unusual black rocks that rinse the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But here, a few kilometers away, there are also long white sandy beaches, some of which are marked with the Blue Flag. They are ready to receive tourists all year round. Along the coast, the cities and towns are rich in heritage from the time when, due to volcanoes, the life of the island belonging to Spain was not different. Restaurants, cafes, hotels and shops are located in these towns in the shade of palm trees, and life is seething.

Lanzarote is a small island. The length of the island from south to north is 60 km, from the western to eastern coasts a little more than 20 km. The coastline is about 213 km, most of it is covered with rocks. The climate of Lanzarote is similar to that of North Africa. Warmth and sun pamper the island all year round. In January and February, the air temperature during the day reaches an average of 22 degrees, at night it drops to 14 degrees. From June to August, the thermometer rises to an average of 29 degrees, and sometimes almost up to 40 degrees. The water temperature ranges from 17 to 24 degrees. The sun shines on the island 300 days a year, and rain is a rare guest, most often appearing only in November – March.

Lanzarote doesn’t have very lush greenery, only palm trees, olive trees and cacti. However, in the central part of the island, for example, in the La Geria area, the locals have found a way to grow the grapes from which Lanzarote’s Malvasia wine is made. In order to accumulate moisture and protect the grapes from the wind, each plant sits in a hole, the depth and diameter of which reaches several meters, enclosed by a semicircular stone fence (zoco). The oldest wine cellar on the island, El Grifo (18th century), still produces 400-600 thousand bottles of wine per year. It also has a wine museum. Lanzarote is also a supplier of fish and goat cheese, and salt has long been mined in the south of the island.

The island will appeal to those who are looking for not only a relaxing holiday by the blue ocean, but also a lot of interesting, unusual adventures. This is a great place for family holidays, couples. There are many different places to visit and monuments on the island – many of them were created by the famous architect of the island, Cesar Manrique. It is difficult to find a place on the island in the improvement of which he would not take part.

The Atlantic wind in Lanzarote creates excellent conditions for water activities, warm water allows you to enjoy swimming, diving, surfing and windsurfing, kitesurfing, etc. Fishing is also popular on the island. Many resorts are convenient for cycling, walking, hiking or playing golf, for which the weather here is favorable all year round.

Arrecife

Located in the center of the east coast of the island, Arrecife is the largest city of Lanzarote and its capital, as well as a financial and cultural center founded in the 19th century. It became the capital in 1852. Currently, more than half of all the inhabitants of the island live here.

Arrecife has long been an important trading point of the island. Guests of the city notice this, as there are many shopping centers, specialized shops, souvenir and handicraft shops. Various goods of local artisans are offered, and even those imported due to more favorable conditions applied to the island are sold at fairly low prices.

Arrecife also attracts tourists with its coast, which is full of islands and reefs formed by lava flows. You can admire them while walking along the alleys. Witnesses of the history of the city and the island are two fortresses. One of them – Castillo de San Gabriel (Castillo San Gabriel) – rises on a tiny rocky island, which is connected to the coast by a drawbridge. Exactly where the main metropolitan shopping streets Leon and Castillo (Leon y Castillo) end. The bridge is decorated with two towers, on top of which there is a cannonball each. This fort was built by King Philip II to protect himself from pirates sailing from North Africa. Another city fortress, Castillo de San Jose, had the same purpose. Today it houses the Museum of Modern Art.

Another of the most visited places is Charo de San Gines. It is a lake formed by inflowing sea water, surrounded by fishermen’s houses. Next to it stands the main city church of San Gines. A particularly amazing view nearby opens in the evening, when the lake is illuminated by the setting sun.

Fire Mountains, Timanfaya

After volcanic eruptions lasting six years, and another blow in 1824, part of the island in the northwest became an unrecognizable place filled with lava and pulsing with heat. To protect it, the Timanfaya National Park, also called the fiery mountains, was created. This is the most visited place in Lanzarote, attracting about a million people every year. You can explore Timanfaya on the buses of the park, it is forbidden to travel on foot or with your own transport. And it’s not recommended. At a depth of only 13 m, the temperature is about 600 degrees. The network of roads among the rocks, which in some places reach an impressive size of several meters, was formed by the architect César Manrique. The surface of the earth resembles the moon – it is a colorful, hard-covered desert covered with petrified lava. It is estimated that now more than 30 volcanoes rise in the park. At the end of the path, at the highest point of the island, is the El Diablo restaurant, where dishes are cooked using heat rising from the depths of the earth. Park officials demonstrate how unusually hot the ground is under their feet: poured water into a pipe dug into the ground turns into a geyser, dry grass thrown into a small hole ignites. The park also offers another impressive entertainment – a camel tour. At 1993 this park is included in the UNESCO heritage list.

Jameos del Agua

In the sixth decade of the last century, Cesar Manrique decided to create a unique tourist attraction. Near one of the lava caves (Jameo Chico) extending to the northeast, he built a staircase down and around a small natural lake in the rock equipped with an impressive bar and restaurant, sometimes even called the most beautiful nightclub in the world. The restaurant offers tourists not only to sit down for a while, but also to spend the evening on the dance floor to the sounds of Spanish music. True, it is not the cheapest on the island. The water of the lake and the surrounding reservoirs is very transparent, only blind albino crabs that live on this island, which have become the symbol of Jameos del Agua, are visible in it. Next to the cave-restaurant, the architect built a modern villa with a very cozy garden. Jameos del Agua is located near one of the most impressive and longest caves in the world, Los Verdes, which was formed 4,000 years ago by an erupting volcano. Under the ground here stretches a tunnel of 6 km. For many centuries, such tunnels for the inhabitants of Lanzarote were a refuge from the excesses of pirates, and since 1964 he is open to tourists. For those who are curious, this miracle of nature can be viewed accompanied by guides.

Cactus garden

The Cactus Garden (Jardin de Cactus) is a good example of how well architecture can fit into the landscape. Cesar Manrique, who left many traces of his talent in Lanzarote, the designed garden captivates with an interesting design: winding paths with leading steps deeper into the garden. Symbolically, it is very similar to one of the region’s many craters. On the territory of 5,000 sq. m in total grows more than 7,200 specimens of 1,100 species of cacti from such distant and remote places as Peru, Mexico, Chile, USA, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Morocco and, of course, the Canary Islands themselves. Prickly and non-thorny cacti are of various sizes and shapes. Nearby there is a beautiful windmill, where gofio is still being prayed – barley and corn flour, which was the main focus of the cuisine already in the time of the ancient local residents of the Guanches. The cactus garden is based in the city of Guatiza, Teguise municipality, where the land is favorable for large cactus plantations.

Journal of International Affairs – The Canaries ask for protection … from “black gold”

“The Canary Islands are part of Spain, although they are more than a thousand kilometers away, and only a hundred to Morocco. Geographically, this is Africa, but in fact – Europe. Friendly residents, calm environment, absence of dangerous animals and diseases, clean ocean and impeccable service. In the Canary Islands, nothing will overshadow your long-awaited vacation … This is an excerpt from the booklet of a Spanish travel agency. And few people, having been there, will not agree with this advertisement.

The Canaries are a group of islands conquered by Spain about 600 years ago. Among them are Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife and Lanzarote. Some scientists seriously believe that the Canary Islands are a preserved part of Atlantis. Many thousands of Spaniards and foreign citizens have found shelter and peace in this part of the Atlantic.

However, in recent months the idyll of the unique Canary Islands has been disturbed by the anxiety of the islanders for their future fate.

In the near future, oil derricks will appear near them. And on the beaches, perhaps, there will be oil stains. And this is the best case.

According to the world media, the Spanish government back in March 2013 approved the decision to start oil production operations in the Atlantic Ocean off the Canary Islands. The drilling site is only ten kilometers from the best beaches of Fuerteventura and eighteen kilometers from Lanzarote. (Earlier, both, like the entire archipelago, were declared natural Biosphere Reserves by the United Nations – A. M.).

And now the work of the oil companies begins, despite the protests of the local and international community, scientific foundations, political parties and non-governmental organizations.

Paulino Rivero, Chairman of the Government of the Canarian Autonomy, asked the Council of Ministers of Spain to hold a referendum on this issue. Too great are the risks of oil exploration and development near the islands, which live mainly on tourism and fishing. However, the arguments of the “chief Canarian”, apparently, did not touch the Madrid authorities.

Officials from the Spanish government claim that Moroccan neighbors have also started drilling wells in their Atlantic waters. And most importantly, the development of the “Canarian field” will provide Spain with 10 percent of the oil it consumes for 20 years and will provide hundreds of new jobs. However, such explanations cannot convince either the inhabitants of the Canary Islands, or representatives of the tourist industry, or sober-minded politicians. Of course, neither do they convince thousands of environmental organizations around the world.

Today, not only the “greens” of Spain and many other countries, but also dozens of local administrations of the Canary Islands, more than 50 scientific foundations and public organizations around the world are against the oil plans of Madrid near the Canaries. Activists collect protest signatures, warn people about the exorbitant risks of these oil projects. “Of course, the country needs oil,” environmentalists explain, “but not at any price! We need to think about people, about their environment”…

And the risks are really very high. Millions of foreign tourists visit the Canaries every year. The hospitality industry brings the autonomy the main income. Even the “safest”, modern oil production technologies cannot completely protect sea waters and the coast of paradise islands from “black gold” spills.

According to polls, 62% of Canary Islanders opposed the start of oil production in coastal waters. The study was commissioned by the Coalición Canaria party of the Focus Investigación organization. The largest number of opponents of oil production near the Canary waters was noted on the islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, which are most dependent on tourism. Residents of the island of Tenerife have not yet realized the possible consequences and are more calm about the planned drilling.

Public figures from many countries write letters to the leaders of the European Parliament and the European Commission, the Prime Minister of Spain and the President of REPSOL, and other responsible persons involved in the project.

In particular, in their letters sent by regular and e-mail, tour operators, scientists and ordinary people (I quote from Spanish media sources – A.M.) write: “… the Canary Islands are one of the most important tourist destinations in the world, and host more than 12 million tourists every year who enjoy the beaches, nature, climate, scenery, culture and hospitality of the hospitable Canarian population. It has become known that the proposed drilling site will take place at a depth of more than 5,000 meters below the seabed, at an ultra-deep level, more than 1,500 meters below the surface of the water. At the same time, the seabed in this zone has strong seismic activity. Thus, the risk increases on the islands, where 100% of drinking water is obtained from the sea and desalinated. An accidental or even accidental oil spill, or one like the one in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, would be catastrophic for millions of people and for the future of this entire region.

This 7,000 sq. km, which is home to more than 19,000 species of wild fauna and flora, of which 5,000 are unique on this planet and living only on these islands; in addition, there are four national parks in the Canary Islands. More than 47% of the territory of the Canary archipelago is protected by treaties and legislation of the UN organization, the European Union and Spain. And yet, the Spanish authorities and an oil consortium (REPSOL, RWE and WOODSIDE) are starting an oil production project.

European universities, US universities, committees of scientists from more than 100 countries, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, as well as organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund, the Society for the Study of Cetaceans in the Canary Archipelago, cultural, artistic, social foundations and hundreds of thousands of people , oppose this project because it is incompatible with the preservation of the environment. Scientists and public figures believe that it is wiser and more important today to use various renewable energy sources that will help save life on our planet. It is in their development and improvement that the authorities should invest, and not in traditional oil production. Leading European tour operators are also warning about the problem of oil production, realizing that this seriously threatens the tourism sector, which is the main economic pillar of the Canary Islands. Reducing the effects of climate change is the responsibility of all inhabitants of the planet; and therefore it is important, with examples and concrete actions, to reduce the use of fossil fuels and replace them with renewable energies, and in the Canary Islands, the climatic conditions are ideal for achieving this important goal.

In conclusion, I ask for your urgent intervention in order to permanently slow down and immediately stop this environmental threat project and promote energy production methods that benefit everyone. High environmental risk projects that are beneficial only to transnational corporations and the largest oil and gas companies do not have a place in a free, democratic and reasonable society”…

danger awaits them in the western Canaries, especially in Tenerife, according to the German newspaper Die Welt.

A “risk map” created by scientists shows how often eruptions have occurred in the area over the past 20,000 years. The researchers suggested a pattern: the more active volcanoes were in the past, the more dangerous they pose today. And above all, the “risk group” includes the islands of Tenerife, Hierro and La Palma, where natural disasters have occurred at least 100 times over the course of thousands of years. The most calm in this regard are the Eastern Canaries. For example, in Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, the decline in volcanic activity began 15 million years ago, and in Fuerteventura 5 million years before that. But, despite the fact that not a single eruption has occurred on this island over the past 20 thousand years, the volcano on the island is still considered active, the German newspaper notes.

In Tenerife, for example, according to scientists at Die Welt, there are traces of a powerful eruption of the Teide volcano. The surrounding landscape consists of layers of pumice, ash and mud, which were thrown to the surface from the Teide vent. In addition, earthquakes, which often occur in the north of the island, mean that new cataclysms may well occur there.

And I would like to remind you of one more study. A few years ago, a group of scientists from different countries carefully explored this region of the Atlantic. The results of their research were published in the scientific journal “Journal of Vulcanologie and Geothermal Researchee”. The Canary Island of La Palma, according to these scientists, whose area is only 706 square meters. km, stretched to a height of 2426 meters. And this huge cliff with a small base is in a state of unstable geotechnical equilibrium. And at the same time it is very active volcanically. In the event of an eruption, scientists are cited by the media as suggesting that it could crack from overheating ocean water, in contact with lava. An explosion can occur in deep caves under the island. In this case, a huge block of rock will fall into the water, a tsunami wave 650 meters high will move at a terrible speed to other islands and continents.

So what kind of oil platforms and derricks can we talk about in this seismically risky and volcanic zone!

Meanwhile, the Spanish authorities are simultaneously starting to develop oil fields near another popular Spanish tourist zone – the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. There are already other risks and a different degree of responsibility. But the smell of oil and money seems to have completely turned the heads of Spanish businessmen and authorities.

Canaries ask for protection from oil rigs. And the Balearics are also asking. But who will help them? Who will protect?

The Canary Islands, an archipelago whose shores caress the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, belong to the Spanish kingdom, but are located at a fairly considerable distance from it. About a thousand kilometers will have to sail from the coast of Spain. And from the coast of the African continent separates 100 km. The Canary archipelago consists of seven large and several small islands. There is a well-established network of ferries between the islands. From 1982 years Canaries – Spanish autonomy. The sun shines here all year round, the water temperature does not drop below 20 degrees, which attracts surfers and diving enthusiasts. You need a Schengen visa to travel to the Canary Islands. And the most successful luggage solution would be to buy a large suitcase on wheels to carry a maximum of necessary things.

Once this land belonged to the Guanches tribe. In the 12th century, Arab sailors reached the islands. Among them was the geographer Il-Idrisi, from whose diaries Europeans learned about the islands and the people who inhabited them. In the 15th century, the Spaniards conquered the islands. Most of the natives were destroyed. In the middle of the 15th century, Christopher Columbus visited the Canaries. He was lucky enough to watch the eruption of the Teide volcano, which wakes up about once every three centuries. They also remember here the English admiral Nelson, who was defeated during the capture of one of the capitals and lost his right arm in that battle.

Tenerife is the largest and most famous of the islands. Here is the Teide volcano. The area around the volcano is the territory of the national park. An observatory was built just below the crater of the volcano. The volcano last erupted in 1706, when the city of Garachico, an important port city, was destroyed. The only building that survived during the eruption is the church of St. Anne. Today it is a small, cozy town with a population of about 5 thousand people. The volcanic eruption caused irreparable damage to the beaches of the town, so a huge open-air swimming pool was built in the town. You can also swim in the natural pool near the walls of the fortress of San Miguel.

Tourists who have a rest here are in great demand for an excursion to the observation deck located on the slope of the Teide, especially in the evening, when you can watch the sunset. In addition to visiting the fortress and the church of St. Anne, in Garachico you can visit the historical park, the palace of Count La Gomera, built of volcanic stone. For trips on excursions, a good city backpack will become your indispensable companion – it does not restrict movement, it fits the most necessary things.

One of the capital cities – Santa Cruz – a modern city with luxurious beaches, restaurants, museums, shopping centers. Guests who arrived here in February will become unwitting participants in carnival processions. Children who come to rest with their parents will be able to learn a lot of interesting things about interplanetary space by visiting the Space Museum. Looking into the Palmetum or arboretum, you can see many rare tropical plants. Music lovers have the opportunity to attend a concert in the Auditorium, a state-of-the-art concert hall with incredible acoustics.

Las Americas is another popular city in Tenerife. Rest here is more suitable for young people who love parties, bars, discos, casinos. The beaches are sandy, more than 6 km long. Vacationers are offered a wide range of entertainment: jet skiing, catamarans, yachting.

Maspalomas is a resort located on the island of Gran Canaria. Suitable for families with children. For children, theme parks have been created: an animal park, an aboriginal park. Also in the local zoo you can see exotic animals and birds. You can visit the Columbus Museum, where you can see the diaries of the navigator, his letters, learn about the historical past of the Canaries. A gigantic water park has been built in the city. Adults can visit spas, take a course of thalassotherapy.

Solana Matorral is a resort located on the island of Fuerteventura with a very beautiful promenade equipped with bicycle paths. The beaches of Fuerteventura are well equipped for families with children. These places are very attractive for surfers, as the winds blow almost constantly in these places. Those who come here must visit the underground museum, the oasis – the zoo, which occupies a significant territory.

One of the popular resort places on the island of Lanzarote – Playa Blanca, attracts tourists with its beaches, located here for yachts. Unforgettable will be a visit to the museum, located under water. But for this you need to learn how to dive into the water with scuba gear. At a depth of more than 10 meters, there is an exposition of three hundred sculptures that tells about the locals and their way of life. History buffs can visit Colorades Castle on Lanzarote, built to protect against pirates.

The Canary Islands is an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean with picturesque landscapes, white sand beaches, amazing valleys, warm sun and beautiful rocks. The Canary Islands belong to Spain and consist of seven large islands: La Palma, Tenerife, Hierro, La Gomera, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Belarusian travelers come here for romantic exoticism, and of course they find: volcanic black sand beaches, pleasant ocean waves, amazing tropical atmosphere, exquisite and juicy fruits. In the Canary Islands, you can not only sunbathe on the beaches, but also explore local ancient sights, look at formidable volcanoes and high waterfalls. In addition, there is everything you need for diving and surfing.
The climate in the Canary Islands is mild and tropical. The average summer temperature reaches +30 degrees, and winter +26 degrees.
The most unusual island is Tenerife. It is of volcanic origin. And on it is the Teide volcano. Also, here is the popular Los Cristianos – it is a very calm, peaceful and quiet resort. Here you can not only relax, but also gain strength. The resort has restaurants, bars, small shops and two beaches (Playa de Las Vistas and Playa de Los Cristianos). At night it is pleasant to listen to the sound of the waves and look at the starry sky, and in the daytime you can enjoy the fabulous atmosphere of this lovely town while drinking wine from a crystal glass. Local residents are always happy to welcome new guests and are ready to offer a variety of souvenirs for purchase.
Back in the sixteenth century, fishermen adapted to this area. And after a while, a fishing village was formed here. And today, Los Cristianos is a whole resort town with ancient sights, such as the pyramids of Guimar, Loro Parque, the knight’s castle of San Miguel and the Pyramid of Arona.

The very first resort in Tenerife is Puerto de la Cruz, which is located in the north of the island. Of course, due to the peculiar location, the resort is a little cool and windy. Most of the permanent residents live here.
The climate in the resort of Puerto de la Cruz can be said to be tropical. The average summer air temperature is about +27 degrees, and the average winter temperature is +16-18 degrees. The water temperature in the sea fluctuates between +21-26 degrees.

The Best Beaches, Natural Pools and Swimming in Tenerife Away from the Crowds — This Expansive Adventure

Image description: A landscape image. Volcanic rocks form around the sides of the frame with a large, circular sea pool in the middle. The blue and turquoise ocean waves are bashing against the rocks forming white sea spray.

Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands archipelago is well known by tourists. The island experiences a mostly temperate climate year round, and whilst it is popular with tourists in the summer, the Winter also presents a fantastic, often quieter time to visit – with temperatures often reaching 25-30 degrees Celsius. As the home of Teide National Park, and its namesake, Mount Teide, the island’s inland high altitude landscapes (reaching 3,718m at its highest point) provide the ultimate opportunity for adventure. However, Tenerife’s volcanic landscape creates some of the most picturesque and interesting beaches with opportunities to swim and experience a whole host of water based activities. Because of the temperate climate, the waters are a comfortable temperature to swim in all year round too. If you’re into snorkeling, some of the rocky coves formed from volcanic rock offer you the opportunity on calmer ocean days to see a wide variety of sea creatures. There is even one cove in Tenerife, where between the months of July – September, it is possible to see Loggerhead turtles close to the shore. In this article, Fay looks at some of their favorite beaches and swimming spots on the island, away from the crowds.

Important Safety Information

Due to its position and exposed nature, Tenerife is often hit with strong trade winds. Coupled with the ferocity of the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife can see very strong waves which can be incredibly dangerous to even the most advanced swimmer. Only swim within your limits and look at local signage for more information. Many areas will have a system of coloured flags in place to let you know how safe the water is for swimming at any given time. However, this isn’t always the case so please make your decision wisely. It is perhaps possible, though, to find opportunities to swim on another side of the island depending on the direction of the wind that might be perfectly suitable each day. So it’s best, if possible, to remain flexible with your plans.

Is it warm enough to swim all year round?

Of course this is a matter of personal preference. I am very experienced at this point with swimming in extremely cold water, so this felt like a treat for me after the bitingly cold swims I’d had recently in England. The sea is generally mild in the winter and milder in the summer. However, this can be made a lot more pleasurable with the right equipment for you such as wetsuits, swimwear, gloves, boots and hats – all things you’ll find at outdoor stores like REI.

Image description, from left to right: 1 – A landscape image. It is dark and the rock cliffs are cast into shadow by the nearly set sun. A little light still lingers on the water as it meets the shoreline. The sea looks dark blue, even black, and the sand it covers looks black too. 2 – A landscape image. It is nearly dark and the sun is setting, hitting all of the rocks and sea with purple light. Fay and Matt stand in the middle of the shoreline looking out at the view.

Cueva del Tacón
A short walk down a steep ramp along the side of La Pergola restaurant and a few minutes hopping over rocks leads you to a relatively sheltered inlet formed from volcanic rocks. The large volcanic rocks further out in the ocean shoreline work to mostly protect a relatively large swimming area from the full force of the Atlantic. On a calm day, you can enter the water from the slightly steep rocky area at the furthest edge before a rock wall takes over. If you snorkel, this place is gold. You’ll be able to see a large variety of sea creatures that graze close to the moss covered surfaces and as you swim out, and the water gets deeper, you’ll feel like you’re in another world.

Piscina Natural Acantilado D Los Gigantes
Tenerife is home to a number of natural swimming pools, and this was one of my favourites (that might also be because it was the only one I could consistently swim in during my stay due to strong winds at a number of other locations). However, there was just something so magical about this pool. Entry can be found via a small set of steps (we found a combination of maps and local signage helped us find this no problem). Once down, you’re aware of the power of the ocean as you can hear it booming on the rock walls that form the outer edge of the pool and the barrier to the ocean. Swim across the pool and look over the edge, and you might be lucky enough to see crabs clinging to the walls! Particularly recommend this location as the sun is starting to set – swimming here as the sun goes behind the horizon and everything falls into shadow is truly breathtaking.

Image description, from left to right: 1 – A landscape image. Matt walks forward in the frame wearing swim shorts and wetsuit boots. He is walking down volcanic rocks with mountain cliffs in the background. 2 – A landscape image. A large sheltered ocean rock bay is pictured. The sea is blue and turquoise. The rocks around are blue, red and brown.

Los Guios Beach, Los Gigantes
Los Guios sits beautifully nestled in next to the staggering Los Gigantes cliffs. The cliffs rise majestically above the ocean reaching sheer drops and heights of up to 600m! The black sand beach below gives you the perfect opportunity to admire the giants in front of you, whether that is from dry land or in the water. This area is guarded by lifeguards during the day and has a flag system for swimming in place. Be aware that boats, kayaks etc. do set out regularly around here from the marina close by so it’s wise to stick relatively close to shore or use an obvious visibility device.

La Jaquita
This pool has two large swimming areas that feel inviting. This is a particularly great place for a sunset swim.

Image description, from left to right: 1 – A landscape image. A sunset, with clouds showing a blue, orange and yellow sky. In the foreground are rocks and the ocean, which are in shadow. 2 – A landscape image. A sunset, with greys, blues, yellows and oranges as Fay swims through a sea pool. Fay is in silhouette.

Charco del Viento
This natural pool, when I visited, was hit by strong waves so I wasn’t able to swim here, but none the less, the beauty of this place did not go unnoticed. Even if you don’t get to swim, spending some time enjoying the sensory experience of the waves crashing against the rocks and the beautiful blues and turquoises contrasting against the black rocks is incredibly memorable. There is great signage up here to let you know when is good or not to swim. On a calm day, swimming here would be a wonderful experience! This spot is located in La Guancha – a short walk down the ramp and steps from the nearby area with limited parking will take you to this spot.



Charco De La Laja
Located a short drive away from Charco del Viento, this ocean pool presents a similar experience – it is likely that if the pool above is not swimmable, this won’t be either. However, if it is, there is a great opportunity if you feel up for it, to take both in on a visit to this relatively secluded section of the island. A little bit of a drive (depending on where you’re staying) to get to both, but well worth the effort!

Image description, from left to right: 1 – A landscape image. An underwater image of Fay swimming, As Fay moves toward the centre of the frame, there are air bubbles appearing around their hands. The water is dark blue and turquoise. 2 – A landscape image. Fay is swimming underwater and as Fay swims away, we see the ocean floor which is rocky. The water is blue and turquoise.

Playa del Puertito
This beach presents plenty of rock pools to explore with lots of fish and sea creatures. Between the months of July – September, Loggerhead Turtles can often be found here. The bay is made up of a small crescent-shaped beach and has a lovely local feel that I really enjoyed. The bay is relatively sheltered from strong waves and the water is crystal clear!

would definitely recommend this! you get a beautiful view of the volcano and we were able to see dolphins, whales and turtles which came up quite close to the boat. the staff were lovely and stopped the boat to rescue a turtle that had gotten stuck in a fishing net. overall a fantastic experience:)

Fantastic excursion Fantastic staff, our guide Daniela was really good and super cute, she explained a lot to us about pilot whales and dolphins, I must say we were also very lucky as we got to see a whole family of whales, including mother and baby of a few weeks. The whales approached by themselves, they no longer used the microphone so as not to bother anyone and the journey took place with the utmost respect for the fauna. We had the chance to spot some dolphins, but only for a few seconds. We took a bath for about 15 minutes and then returned to the port. Fantastic experience, I recommend everyone to do it.

Everything great! We had seen several groups of whales. Unfortunately, no dolphins showed up. According to the boat crew, however, the probability of seeing dolphins is very low. So you have to be pretty lucky. Finally, the boat stops in front of a rock face where you can swim about 10 minutes from the boat from the beautiful backdrop. Well suited for groups with children, as there are enough shady places on the boat and also parking spaces for prams.

A Winter Week in Tenerife ⋆ By Forever Amber

[tp_empty_space dp_height=”110px” tab_height=”60px” mob_height=”30px”]

It was always going to be a very different kind of holiday.

I mean, it was our first foreign holiday with a baby, so we knew we wouldn’t exactly be sipping cocktails by the pool, or dancing the night away in a club, you know? (Er, not that we EVER dance the night away in clubs, mind you, because #OLD.)

What I didn’t quite imagine, however, was that it would also be a very different kind of holiday for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we had an 11-month-old in tow.

Like Terry getting food poisoning, for instance.

Or me coming down with some weird 24-hour flu-like bug.

Oh, and there was also that time we got locked out of our apartment, and the maintenance man had to actually remove the door handle to get us back in.

Or, well, the SECOND TIME we got locked out of our apartment, and the maintenance man had to ONCE AGAIN remove the door handle. We were popular guests, for sure.

All of these things definitely made it a different kind of holiday from the one we’d imagined, no question. It was also, however, a really fantastic one. As in, it was an, “I totally cried when I said goodbye to our apartment,” kind of one. (What do you mean you don’t say goodbye to your hotel room/apartment? What kind of monster ARE you?) And here’s how it went…

Terry and I have visited Tenerife in winter many times now, and I had a whole list of things I wanted to do, filed away in my head: favourite places I wanted to re-visit, and new ones to discover.

Honestly, though? We hardly did any of that. Partly due to the whole food poisoning/flu bug fiasco, which basically took out a couple of days of our holiday, but also because holidaying with a baby is very different from holidaying as a couple, as we quickly discovered. We generally found that by the time we’d got up, got all three of us dressed and ready for the day, and had breakfast, it was almost time for Max’s morning nap, so we’d hang around the apartment until that was over (He resolutely refused to nap in the pushchair, despite our best efforts…), then head out for a few hours, before coming back in time for the afternoon nap… after which it would be almost time for dinner, and then bedtime for Max.

We didn’t stick too rigidly to the routine we have at home, but we realised after the first couple of days that Max would get up at the same time every morning regardless of what time we put him to bed, so we tried not to stray too far from it, either. All of which didn’t leave us with a huge amount of time for exploring, obviously, but you know what? It was absolutely fine. The week before our holiday had been particularly cold and dark at home – in fact, there were some days when it just didn’t seem to get light at all, and it was just so utterly depressing that when we arrived in Tenerife to blue skies, and hot, sunny weather that remained perfect all week, I’d have happily just sat on the hotel balcony all day, every day.

That wasn’t quite what we did, obviously – I mean, we did get out and about as much as possible – but, rather than heading out all day with an agenda, we mostly just wandered and relaxed, and that, I think, was exactly what we needed.

[tp_modern_separator top_bottom_style=”roundedsplit” top_separate_color=”#ffffff”]

We stayed in the Costa Adeje area of Tenerife South, which is our usual stomping ground: it’s a lively resort, which is a bit more upmarket than neighbouring Playa de las Americas and Los Christianos, and packed with restaurants, bars and shops, as well as miles of beautiful coastline. As luck would have it, my brother and sister-in-law were also in Tenerife at the same time (Although at a different hotel: I promise we didn’t just crash their holiday): they live at the opposite end of the country from us, so it was a good excuse to catch up with them, and we had dinner together most nights – including the fateful evening which led to both Terry and his brother Niko coming down with food poisoning the next day. (It was a carbonara pizza. Never again…)

Luckily for Terry, he didn’t actually throw up, but he felt really, really ill for at least 24 hours, and still wasn’t 100% the next day… by which point I’d developed a sore throat and aching muscles, which I tried to tell myself were just from walking up all of the hills in our apartment complex, but which, nope, totally turned out to be some kind of bug: awesome!

It was at this point in the holiday that we realised we hadn’t packed any paracetamol – or, indeed, any medication, other than Calpol for Max – and that all of the ‘pharmacies’ we visited in search of painkillers were, in fact, just pretending to be pharmacies, and didn’t actually sell the stuff. In the end, we headed back to the apartment, where I had 8 shots of Calpol (Which amounts to one adult dose of paracetamol), and felt almost instantly better. Thanks, Calpol! Love you!

Thankfully, by the time we woke up next morning, we were both feeling a whole lot better (Although I was left with a cough/cold, which continues to this day – lucky, lucky me!). The problem with that, of course, is that, by that point, we were now over halfway through our holiday, and still feeling like we were just getting started. Next time, I’d love to go for two weeks (I said this pretty much the second our plane touched down, mind you…), but for now, we just concentrated on enjoying our last few days in the sun. I know I’ve said this before, but I get very down during the winter, and last winter was so relentlessly awful, in so many different ways, that I’ve actually found myself feeling quite panicky at the thought of having to go through another one like it. So, this break was more than just a holiday to me, and more than just an opportunity to see how we’d get on travelling abroad with Max: it was probably the last time I’ll feel like myself next Spring, and, for that reason alone, it was worth every minute of feeling ill, worrying about the flight, and coming home to five loads of laundry. I mean, I’m not sure Terry would say it was worth getting food poisoning for, exactly, but when we WEREN’T ill, we very much enjoyed ourselves, is what I’m trying to say. And so did Max…

[tp_empty_space]

One of the things we learned from this trip is that this boy absolutely loves the water:

Much to my shame, I didn’t actually have a swimsuit for him: well, we’d booked the holiday at the last minute, and none of the places I usually shop for him were selling swimsuits in December, so… I’m sure I could probably have found one if I’d tried hard enough, but, the truth is, I knew from past experience that the water temperature in Tenerife is normally freezing at this time of year (I think the average temperature for December is about 21 degrees, which isn’t nearly hot enough for me to want to go swimming…) so Terry and I don’t normally spend time at the pool/beach anyway, and I figured Max probably wouldn’t want to go into the water if it was really cold. Of course, it turned out that not packing a swimsuit for him was the best possible way to guarantee a week of glorious sunshine, and above average temperatures, wasn’t it? Well done, Amber: awesome parenting job there!

The water was still too cold for me (It has to feel more of less like getting into a hot bath, or I won’t do it…), but I put Max in a swim nappy and romper, and I’m pretty sure he’d have stayed in the pool all day if we’d let him. It looks like some baby swimming lessons are in our near future. And a trip to buy a swimsuit, obviously…

[tp_empty_space]

[tp_animated_image image=”124233″ alignment=”center”]

[tp_empty_space]

Our trip to the beach, on the other hand, was slightly less successful – for Terry and I, at least. Max, meanwhile, had the time of his life: he loved the sand and the water, but got instantly caked in wet sand, and then OF COURSE he pooped in his swim nappy when we took him into the sea to wash him off, and, well, let’s just say that changing a soaking wet, sand-covered, poop-covered baby on a beach, comes second only to changing a baby on an aircraft in my list of Things I Never Want to Repeat. But that’s another story for another day. (The aircraft bit, I mean. I’m guessing you probably don’t need any more info about Poop on the Beach, right?)

But still! Max enjoyed it, and we enjoyed watching him enjoy it, so I suspect more beach trips are looming in our future, too. You can feel free to pray for us, when the time comes.

On our final morning in Tenerife, we had to check out of our hotel at 11am, but our flight wasn’t due to take off until late afternoon, which left us with a few hours to kill before we had to be at the airport. “I know!” said Terry. “Let’s have a drive up Mount Teide!”

I was just a little but dubious about this plan, I have to admit. On the one hand, I knew the car ride up the volcano would be a good way to make sure Max had a nap before we got on the plane, and I DO love the drive, which we’ve done a few times now. On the other hand, though, well, it’s the highest peak in Europe, and the last time we went up, our car window got mysteriously smashed. We’d already, as I mentioned, managed to get locked out of our hotel room twice on this trip (Through no fault of our own, I hasten to add: there was something wrong with the door, which the maintenance man repeatedly referred to as “Bad Door” any time he had to speak to us about it. Which was often, unfortunately…), and I felt like this idea of Terry’s had all the makings of one of those holiday horror stories that would only seem amusing to us a long, long time after the fact – and maybe not even then.

“I dunno,” I said. “It just sounds like the kind of story that’s destined to end up on my blog, you know?”

So, obviously, we did it.

And, OK, it IS ending up on my blog, but only because it ended up being a pretty cool way to spend the last few hours before our flight home, really. We didn’t take the cable car all the way to the top this time, because we just didn’t have the time, but we did make it to Los Roques de Garcia, just in front of the volcano, and got some quick photos before heading back down to the airport.

As I mentioned, this is a place Terry and I have visited a few times now: we have tons of photos of the two of us standing in almost the same spot, and I also have some of me with my parents, from when I came to Tenerife as a teenager, which I’ll have to get my mum to dig out for me sometime.

(Um, yeah, it was WAY colder in 2010, apparently…)

It was while we were on holiday in Tenerife two years ago that we first started to think seriously about the idea of possibly having a baby – I can remember constantly staring at other holiday makers with their children, and thinking how that would never, ever be me, because I was just too scared for it to ever happen – so, I have to admit to having all the feels while we were taking these photos with Max. It was one of those, “If my younger self had known that the next time she had her photo taken in this spot, she’d be holding an 11-month-old baby…” moments, and I had quite a few of those throughout the week, as we revisited some of our favourite spots. So, in some ways, this was as much a “banishing the ghosts” trip as anything else – although I have to admit that, on this occasion, the ghosts did have to take a bit of a backseat to the food poisoning and the flu episode. I guess we’ll just have to go back soon, and do it all again, then?

For now, though, we’ve been back home for almost a week, and I’ve already started thinking about our next trip, in between coughing fits. Well, if I’m going to keep on getting sick every couple of weeks (Now onto my third cold/bug in 6 weeks: not impressed…), I might as well do it somewhere warm, right?

[For anyone interested, my dress is from ASOS, and the gold sandals in the first photo were from Kurt Geiger. They’re long-since sold out now, but there are tons of similar styles at Spartoo…]

10 dream-worthy locations where you can swim in the natural pools of the Canary Islands

By Paul Johnson on Apr 24, 2020 in Attractions, Europe, Going Out, Regions, Spain, Western Europe

Swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic is always a pleasure. This experience turns into something truly unforgettable when you swim in one of the strikingly beautiful natural pools of the Canary Islands. With most of us confined to our homes for the past month, it’s safe to say that we could all use a Canary Islands holiday right now. So, we’ve come up with a solution. If we can’t go on holiday, we will bring the holiday to you. Courtesy of Turismo de Canarias, here are 10 dream-worthy locations where you’ll find natural pools for you to enjoy online for now, but hopefully to experience for real once normality returns.

Charco Azul – One of the most spectaculars spots in El Hierro

Charco Azul is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular bathing spots in El Hierro. Located in El Golfo, a magnificent valley along the rugged coastline, this pool is one of the finest examples of unique volcanic activity. Created naturally by flowing lava, this zone doesn’t just invite you to bathe in its turquoise pools, but also to relax, refresh and recharge yourself.

Puertito de Lobos – An islet with incredible views of Fuerteventura

Where can you possibly discover an uninhabited pearl of the Atlantic Ocean that was once a sea lion’s playground? Puertito de Lobos is a treasure of both land and sea and has become one of the most appreciated views of Fuerteventura. The clear waters of the pools contrast dramatically with the volcanic seabed. This, combined with the small fishing boats and the vast expanses of water in the area, leaves you with a desire to dive in and stay for a very long time.

El Caletón de Garachico – A family spot in one of Tenerife’s charming towns

In the area of El Caletón, Northern Tenerife, just beside the San Miguel Castle with the imposing presence of the famous rock, from the Garachico eruption in 1706, is an area of pure lava which offers the perfect combination of open sea and calm rock pools for the whole family. Not only does a swim in El Caletón recharge your batteries in saltwater, but also offers you the chance to see one of the most beautiful historic centres in the Canary Islands.

Charco Azul – The natural pool in La Palma awarded an ‘Ecoplaya flag’

The Charco Azul in La Palma offers visitors a unique way to enjoy the sea. Based in San Andrés y Sauces, this natural pool is one of the prettiest boroughs in the north of the island. It’s a perfect setting to enjoy a day of sea and sun with the family in stark contrast to the rich greenery of the nearby laurisilva.

Punta Mujeres – Diverse family pools in Lanzarote

Two kilometres of numerous natural swimming pools make Punta Mujeres, in the north east of Lanzarote, a popular point on the island. In a fishing village of charming white houses that still maintains the traditional touch, visitors and residents of all ages will be able to enjoy the ideal mix of sun, lava and delightful ocean. The human touch is only evident in some access steps and sunbathing areas, the rest is pure nature!

Roque Prieto – Bathing and relaxation spot in north Gran Canaria

You can truly disconnect from the world at the Roque Prieto natural swimming pools. These two man-made pools close to Santa María de Guía are perfect for bathing in calm water on a coast known for its waves. The pools are never crowded and far from the urban noise. They also have diving areas up to three metres deep. The ocean refreshes their water constantly and it is so clear that you can see every detail of the rocky bottom. A must-see spot for natural pool fans!

Aguas verdes – An alternative treasure in Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is synonymous with endless white-sand beaches. However, the west coast, with its rougher seas, houses some incredible treasures for those seeking something entirely different. Aguas Verdes in Betancuria, is the perfect example of the many unspoiled natural pools found in the Canary Islands: six kilometres of pools dotted along the coastline, where the priority is to relax and to chill-out.

Charco del Conde – The most family-friendly natural pool in La Gomera

If you’re looking for the quieter bathing spot for kids in La Gomera, this is definitely your place. At high tide this pool, located in Valle Gran Rey, provides a pleasant lake for all ages to enjoy. When the tides start to ebb away, children can have loads of fun in a pool that is always protected from the open seas.

Charco del Viento – Swim with views of Teide in Tenerife

If your idea of a great day out is to admire lava flows bathed by the ocean creating natural pools, then you’re in luck. You can find four of these pools in Charco del Viento. This is the most popular swimming area in La Guancha and one of the best known in the north of Tenerife. Even though the force of the sea enters at times, the beauty and contrasting natural colours of this area allow safe bathing in different parts, with some sandy areas and rocky parts ideal for sunbathing. Don’t forget to check out the magnificent Teide views just behind you!

La Fajana – Three delightful natural pools in the north east of La Palma

There are many beautiful natural pools in the Canary Islands but few like these three, where you can easily jump from one to the other. One of the best examples of it can be found in Barlovento. The paths that circle these three pools allow you to move quickly and bathe in the crystal-clear waters without being in the open sea.

90,000 holidays on the Atlantic coast that will not be forgotten. Entertainment and excursions
Once the island of Tenerife was considered something inaccessible, only rich people could afford to come here. But today the situation has changed radically, and this resort is ready to accept tourists traveling with a relatively modest budget.

Part of Tenerife is located much to the south, quite close to the equator, almost off the coast of Africa. This is what determines its climate. Thanks to this, you can relax in Tenerife all year round, including in winter.

Therefore, those who go on vacation at the beginning of the year, when there are severe frosts outside, should not be sad: the largest island of the Canary archipelago is a great place to go. Moreover, many people think that in January you can just relax in Tenerife, especially since there are plenty of pluses for choosing this destination. And one of them is the affordable price compared to the high season.

Weather

Tenerife in January is no less comfortable than in other months of the year. In general, the climate is considered a kind of “chip” of this island. And indeed it is. Warm makes the island’s weather always comfortable. However, it is quite pleasant to relax in Tenerife in January. If in the high season it is somewhat hot here, although not as exhausting as in other nearby resorts, and this despite the fact that the Sahara Desert is located at the same latitude with the island, then at the beginning of the year it is especially good here. Apparently, this is precisely the reason why so many Europeans who want to spend New Year’s holidays in the warmth come to Tenerife in January.

Temperature conditions

In general, the north of Tenerife is more capricious in terms of weather. This is due to the rather cold trade winds that blow from the east and are very frequent guests. True, there are much fewer days when the sky is covered with clouds than absolutely cloudless ones, and there are few heavy rains per month – up to three or four days.

When planning a vacation in Tenerife in January, you should take into account that the relief of this island is so complex and varied that the weather in different places can vary greatly. When it rains heavily in the north, warm and windless weather can reign in the south, without any precipitation. For example, the resort of Puerto de la Cruz, located in the lowlands, is cooler than its western “brother” Guia de Ezor.

The average temperature in Tenerife in January reaches its minimum for the whole year. However, this does not frighten tourists, because it has not fallen below twelve degrees in the entire history of this amazing island. On average, the air in Tenerife warms up to plus twenty-two during the day and fifteen at night. Rains on the island in January are much less frequent than, for example, in late autumn or December, but the air humidity is generally higher than in summer.

About a beach holiday

You can sunbathe in Tenerife in January. The weather contributes to this, especially since the sun, although warm, is not scalding, so the risk of sunburn is minimized during this period. The best places for a beach holiday in Tenerife in January are Los Cristianos, Las Americas and Here you can easily “snatch” an excellent vacation on the ocean with swimming in winter.

The water temperature this month is about nineteen degrees. And although you can swim in such warm water, for those who wish to swim in more comfortable conditions, almost all hotels on the island offer heated pools. But for surfers in Tenerife in January is a real expanse. Due to the good wind, quite a lot of them come to the island during this period.

If the weather is cool, walking tours to many beautiful places on the island can be a great alternative to a beach holiday this month. You can, for example, visit the National Park. Fans of climbing mountains will like walks, especially since the relief of the resort contributes a lot to this. Moreover, in cool weather, doing this is much more comfortable than on hot summer days. Feeling like a pioneer, you can go around and inspect the volcano, visit the observatory and admire the incomparably beautiful lunar landscape.

Where to go

All entertainment facilities in Tenerife are open all year round. Lovers of good music can combine a beach holiday and sightseeing with a visit to the local nightclubs with their sets of famous DJs. Shopaholics will definitely find something to buy if they go shopping. In January, especially during the New Year holidays, many shopping centers hold sales, so you can make a lot of purchases with good discounts. Those tourists who come to Tenerife in winter with small children should definitely visit the zoos or water parks of the island, which are also open all year round.

Features of winter recreation

The north of the island, due to the rains passing here, is characterized during this period by the rapid flowering of evergreens. This is long remembered by those who were lucky enough to visit Tenerife in January. Reviews of tourists indicate that the resort is fully consistent with its nickname “the islands of eternal spring.” Many long remember the riot of subtropical colors and colors that they observe in the middle of winter. It must be said that the southern part of this island is a little less rich in this respect, but it is also less rainy in this season.

The price of a holiday in Tenerife in January is especially liked by lovers of discounts. At this time, travel companies are beginning to massively reduce the cost of tours. A similar tour in the high season will cost thirty-five or forty percent more than a trip to Tenerife in January.

A trip to Tenerife in January is definitely more affordable than in the high summer and autumn seasons. But is it justified, and what can you do on the island in the dead of winter? This is what our Tour-Calendar tried to figure out.

Weather in Tenerife in January

Thanks to the warm Canarian current that goes around the island from north to south, even in the winter season Tenerife has a very mild climate. In fact, it warms the atmosphere and does not allow it to cool, so in January it is much warmer here than in the same Mallorca. No wonder Tenerife is called the “island of eternal spring.” This month, however, as always, its northern part, due to the greater share of precipitation falling on it, is buried in greenery: banana groves, vineyards, date palms, subtropical relict forests and lush gardens with tropical flowers. The southern regions are rather sparse in vegetation. In general, Tenerife is still many-sided and beautiful, the only changes that have taken place are in the weather. The temperature regime of this month becomes the coolest of the year, at the same time the amount of precipitation is slightly reduced compared to November and December. The average value of the thermometer from the absolute maximums is about +20 °C, and the absolute minimums – +14 °C. Nevertheless, the complex rugged relief was the reason for the formation of several climatic zones at the same time on such a small area. Therefore, if on one coast of Tenerife the sky is covered with thick clouds and it is about to start raining, then on the other coast it is possible that it will be sunny and dry. In the capital in January, the delta of daily temperatures ranges from +14 to 20 °C. Puerto de la Cruz has a more northerly position and lies in a lowland, so it is fair that it is somewhat cooler here – +12..+18 °C. In the secluded western resort of Guia de Ezora, these values are slightly lower – + 11 + 17 ° C. In areas far from the coastline or located closer to the central zones, meteorologists record from 6..+8 °C to +13..+14 °C. There is snow in the mountains at this time, take this into account when planning your excursion there. Despite the decrease in precipitation, the humidity of the air this month throughout the island, with the exception of its southern part, remains elevated. In the north, the weather is characterized by great instability, as cold trade winds come here from the northeast. The number of cloudy and rainy days here exceeds the number of sunny days. In the depths of Tenerife, frequent showers are still possible, and in the southern resorts, precipitation is reduced to 5-6 days.

Of course, the first thing to do when you arrive in Tenerife is to explore it far and wide. The weather for this is the most favorable. The sensations brought while traveling through cities and villages are simply unforgettable. You can also go shopping, there is a very low VAT rate (branded alcohol will cost you much cheaper than in the duty free of the local airport, and even more so than in Moscow stores). Well, you should not deny yourself big and small entertainment: all kinds of shows, discos in nightclubs, restaurants, etc.

Beach holidays

Comfortable swimming in Tenerife in January, unless you practice winter swimming or belong to the Baltic states, is unlikely. Water on the southern coast of the Atlantic Ocean is kept at +19 ° C, and on the northern coast this figure can be one notch less. However, here on the coastal strip, except for windsurfers and surfers, no one “lives”. On the northeastern beaches of “Roque de las Bodegas” and “Almaciga” there is a meeting of big waves, winds and … a person.

On especially warm days, when dry and sunny weather sets in, it is quite possible to get your portion of tan and vitamin D on the island. The most likely to do this in resorts such as Las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos.

Activities and excursions

Passionate about wildlife, we can recommend a visit to “Laura Park”, which is located in the northern city of Puerto de la Cruz. It is a huge complex, on the territory of which there is a zoo, an aquarium, and a botanical garden. But the main reason why tens of thousands of tourists flock here is an incomparable show of killer whales and sea lions. No less interesting can be a trip to the “Park of the Eagles” (“Jungle Park”) in the south of the island, which is home to about 500 species of animals, including tigers and cougars.

Amateur photographers (and not only them) should definitely take gorgeous pictures against the backdrop of the volcanic sand of Playa de la Arena. And if this seems insufficient, you can take part in an excursion called “A trip to the most beautiful places on the island.” And do not forget to bring Canarian wines and liqueurs, which are famous for their excellent taste, as a gift to your relatives. And also keep in mind that the price tag for perfume here is much lower than in Russia.

Holidays and festivals

On January 6, the Feast of the Three Wise Men/Kings, also known as Epiphany, is celebrated throughout the island. On this day, in the capital of Tenerife and in many of its other major cities, one can observe their solemn procession, as well as a huge crowd of people, among which there are a lot of children. Wise men generously give them sweets and gifts. This is a kind of tribute to a distant event, when the three wise men Caspar, Melchior and Belshazzar came to the newborn Jesus to bow to him. On January 27, on the beach of Almaciga, located in the north of the country, a feast is held in honor of Our Lady of Nuestra Señora de Begoña / Nuestra Señora de Begoña. In the middle of the month, in the southern city of Arona, the memory of St. Antonio-Abad “Fiesta de San Antonio Abad” is venerated. At the end of January (sometimes at the beginning of January), Santa Cruz de Tenerife hosts one of the most important classical music festivals in Europe, the Festival de Música de Canarias.

At the beginning of January, a dream of the last few years came true – we flew away for a warm holiday in the winter. Away from our weather and our people, if you know what I mean. For a whole week! Happiness 🙂

Now a lot of time has passed, I can not remember the exact numbers and sequence of events. Let this be a memory post. Here are collected photos from instagram, vkontakte, something from the bins of the phone. That’s why I prepared the post for so long – until you collect everything and write it down .. And I wanted to describe the trip schematically, but it turned out to be a whole canvas :)0003

Preparing.
At first, I wanted to carefully prepare for the trip – lists of what I want to see, rent a car in advance, and so on. But Igor was so despondent in anticipation of this trip (“what didn’t you like about Pervalka?” as if his eyes were asking every time I started talking about the imminent! imminent! trip), that I gave up on everything. Rather, of course, I read a little about the island, literally outlined places of desire. On the island itself, Igor came to life, we bought several excursions, rent a car. All without fanaticism and over-control, that is, in the rest mode “oh come on? – come on!”. And in general, I saw everything I wanted! And what I saw shocked me to the very core.

Photo to attract attention. One of my favorite places: the black sand of De la Arena beach.

Departure was around 7.30. It was just very cold, I will also write this for memory. And although I chose Tenerife on the principle of “mild climate change, taking into account the Lithuanian winter”, but everything turned out to be as always –
and we flew to +23 from -20.
The plane was delivered on time, there were about 180 people on board, that is, the plane was large.
On the way to the airport we stopped by friends, I gave them my car for use during our absence, for which they took us to the plane in it, and then met us a week later.

The scheduled flight was supposed to last about 6 hours. In fact, we flew on 9 because there was a strong headwind, we had to land in Malaga for refueling and all that.
This is a photo from a magazine on board. Cho-ta and now I’m laughing at the fantasy of advertisers)))

There were a lot of children on the plane. At least 12 from babies to 3 years old, then they are already older, so they did not shine.
And in general, no one yelled and hysteria. The beauty. At some point, the children all fell out into the aisle (except for the babies) and began to play on their own. Everyone had a lot of toys. The adults in the chairs closest to the aisle were sympathetic to the extent of their desire, someone even played with other people’s children. In general, everyone reacted very loyally to the children.
I’ll show Bob, I won’t show other people’s children (all this privacy and all that).

In general, we flew, flew. My belly is 27 weeks. The only inconvenience is that you want to somehow sit less or lie down at all. But in general, it’s okay.
Arrived. On landing, the pilot says, they say, “+13 overboard.” I don’t know why he said that. You see, I promised Igor that it would be warm, but here it turns out to be practically Pervalka. And I don’t care myself, the main thing is that it’s not -20, but I told my husband so much about this paradise in the middle of winter, and here it’s +13!
The doors of the plane open, we go out along the ladder, well, there is wind on the runway. And he is so warm, so dry and smells of salt that I just cried. I remember this wind, this taste of warmth right after winter.
Crying, of course, was out of the question there, although I can do anything, so I walked with tears in my eyes for another 2 or 3 hours, when we even had dinner at the hotel. Happiness to tears, just imagine.

At the airport we were met by the managers of the mezzanine tour, weight chinar. They put me on the bus. And we are in jackets and winter shoes. And we can’t take off our shirts. We took off our jackets, but we can’t do sweatshirts – the hand does not rise. And around everyone is in T-shirts and shorts, the temperature is +22! And we are in sweatshirts, and I cry and shake Igor by the sleeve every 10 seconds, “look! look!”

And there are some incredible cacti on two floors, red and black sandy soil, black roads with the whitest markings!

Then I look – in front of Teide, a volcano. Such a mountain. I only saw the mountains on the Black Sea and I don’t remember my impressions. I just understand that everything is different here. More sharp and contrasting or something. And Igor is like this: oh, palm trees.
That is, for example, he never saw palm trees on the streets.

We arrived, narrow streets, endless roundabouts (tiny in diameter), everything is so tiny and non-horizontal. And I’m still looking through a rainbow of tears..

Approximately such a view was from the bedroom and bathroom of our room: the houses are up, and behind them the Teide volcano in the distance.

We were settled in an hour after arriving at the hotel. I mean, it was like. We left our things in the storage room, and went to the restaurant for lunch, it was just that time.
Came, and there is a buffet. Well, we pounced of course! Because I want to try everything wild!
As a result, I don’t know how many times I went to report paprika rings to myself, they are so juicy and thick, it’s crazy!
Then we moved into apartments – two rooms (living room + bedroom), bathroom with tub and a large balcony.

Waiting for dinner.

This is a view from the balcony of the hotel grounds at dawn, slightly to the left of the previous photo.

On the day of arrival, we ate, then slept for a long daytime sleep, then I don’t remember what we did, then we ate again. And immediately after dinner they collapsed back to sleep.
The difference between Vilnis and Tenerife is 2 hours not in our favor, that is, our child is used to going to bed at 21, add to this an early rise in the morning, a difficult flight, a change in climate. And finally dinner, so that after it go to bed. But dinner starts only at 19, which is 21 Vilnius time! Barely survived until a night’s sleep, in short.

The next morning we woke up before 5 am. We got up. It was raining and it was a little chilly. We hung out in the room and went to the very opening of the restaurant for breakfast.

Well, what if I don’t take a picture of the food or what?!

There is a long heated table with hot dishes. Vegetable part.

I also took a picture of meat, but for some reason I can’t find a photo.
I must say that the food there is very tasty. The cuisine is European classic, very diverse, every evening something else was cooked. For example, there was an evening of Chinese food – this is a chef and right in front of you, Shuh-Shuh cooks everything! Or a grill night. Or seafood.
Fruits and vegetables of course always.
Fresh. Well, I swept tons of it all away.

A few days later, when we were finally able to taste almost everything from these tables, we saw that pancakes are baked here for breakfast! And since then, for breakfast, they began to eat only oatmeal, pancakes with jams, and Bob always took a boiled egg in a coaster. After returning home, he demanded pancakes for breakfast for a long time, and I baked! I just found the finished mixture in the store, it turned out to be delicious and the composition is good. And you don’t need to mulat to bake 10 small pancakes.

So. We had breakfast and went to explore “to the sea.” The people are all in shorts and T-shirts, and we are persistent – in jeans and sweatshirts!

Costa Adeje descends to the water with rather steep slides, everywhere is clean, somehow friendly and a bit from the cinema. And of course it’s warm 🙂

We went down to the nearest beach, the tide was just starting. These traces will then not be visible at all, because here the abyss will already come and swallow.

We arrived very early, we had never been to the beach before. Gradually, people began to form, the clouds dissipated, the sun was hot. And it got hot! Here is a photo of 10 hours or something.

The next photo seems to be from the wrong day, but that’s not the point. I want to say that the surf is very aggressive. The rams are so twisted that you can’t calmly go through the line of the p-boy into the water. Beats and throws ogogo how! And the sand washes out from under your feet, so you don’t even understand whether you’re walking or standing at all, although you seem to be moving with your feet to move towards or away from the shore, or just to stand on your feet – you strain, but there’s no sand under you, and you are already falling so beautiful.

Bob was afraid of the surf (and rightly so), he went swimming with his dad. Dad, of course, we have a hero in this sense – you need to stand on your own feet and rinse the child in plenty!

We walked back to the hotel through steep mountains and sunshine. I thought I was going to die from the stress. But thank God we got there. And then there’s the pool! Bob, inspired by swimming in the ocean, began to break into the pool. And again, Igor heroically participated in the Bobina water entertainment.
It is stated that the water in the pools of Tenenife is all heated. But I decided to climb up to the waist only once. Igor swam, and Bob was generally ready not to get out. He’s a walrus, you know.

On foot to the ocean, we decided not to walk anymore, well, what the hell. Only if you go down, but just do not go up, yes.
A shuttle bus runs from the hotel at scheduled times to the beaches. But if anything, you can use public transport. The schedule hangs at stops, just like everything in Vilnius!

The nature there is absolutely crazy. It is clear that this is out of habit, but still. We are crossing the road, and then a bean the size of a very large banana falls on our heads. Bob means bean, not Bob.
This is the tree where he fell from.

We then opened it at home. I’m assuming it’s some kind of giant acacia. Because the bean is dry and flat, and inside these types of peas are giant.

Wow! And here is our window into the bedroom, and on the right is the door-entrance to the apartments.

About other days now.
One of the excursions that we bought on the spot, this is actually not even an excursion, but a diving course for Igor. Training and immersion. The entertainment lasts only 5 hours, at that time Bob and I ate together on a shuttle to a distant beach, not the gray one where we were the day before with Igor.

Here the sand is white and the water is turquoise!

We collected shells there, dug in the sand. An old Frenchman approached us, we talked about shells and who came from where and how many times. This and that. And I wanted to say something so important, well, something that would please him. I say: while my son and I are watching the programs of Jacques Yves Cousteau.
The old man looked up from searching for shells under our feet and was like: Who is this?

Then Bob and I returned from the beach to the point where the shuttle stops. It was the beginning of 12 o’clock in the afternoon, we ate fruit, drank water, then the bus arrived.

After this point, the shuttle went to other beaches, it’s about 40 minutes on the way, Bobas was exhausted and he happily slept all the way to the hotel.

I woke up near the hotel, we went to have lunch, came to the room and went to bed, and then Igor returned from diving. We slept, had dinner and went to the ZYRIT supermarket.
The saturation of the day just rolls over)))

Evening, warm.

In general, a supermarket is like a supermarket. The only thing is a very strange and unusual arrangement of departments and products for us.
We only needed to buy 3 things, so we went around the whole store up and down several times before we found what we needed.
By the way, water on the island is worth its weight in gold, so in a restaurant, of course, at least get drunk on water, but we always bought a lot of bottles for ourselves at home.

Fish counter.

Did you see? Seen? 10 euros for a kg of huge shrimp! Yes, if they didn’t feed me in a restaurant for slaughter, then I would overstock these shrimps and fish here !!!

Unknown garbage that the locals bought in packages.
Then, in our restaurant, I also saw these and took them to try. This is something like halva (it is not clear from what only). I didn’t like it, Igor and Bob don’t eat this in principle.
By the way, I’ll pause and go have some tea with our sunflower halva.

Huge sausages and hams. Not sticks, like ours, but such almost balls. We haven’t tried any.
We could barely move our feet for the first 5 days, we were so overeating. Well, the truth is, like children of war … That there was nothing to buy in the store!

Vegetables and fruits are all gigantic. Paprika is the size of a head. The price, for example, is 1.10 euros per kg, so I took one paprika “average” and it cost me 0.80 cents.
I put an orange in the photo to compare the sizes, and Igor says: so what, the orange is also gigantic.

These mini biscotti crackers are popular. Jams and sauces smear and crunch on them.

Vegetable sets. They look cool!

Meringue let me remember. I already had nowhere to eat, but I steadfastly crunched them!!!

We don’t have something like that – crackers with non-Russian flavors. For example, dried tomatoes.

There are a lot of bakery products. We only bought donuts (otherwise they don’t feed us at the hotel, yeah). Donuts are divine!!!

Unfilled rolls for self dressing. It’s convenient!

A lot of different salad sets.

And all the local people there are overweight. Such in the body.

And to the topic of food. Here is one of our dinners. Huge shrimp and mussels.
When they returned home a week later, they weighed themselves. Igor lost 1kg, Bob seemed to put on a pound, and I +5. +5 Carl!
True, my edema happened on the eve of departure, but not by 5 kilos!

—–
We also went to the volcano, but I will write a separate post about this.
—–

In addition to the volcano on the island, I was interested in Monkey Park with lemurs, black beach and driving on these strange roads.
And it all came together in one beautiful day.

A car with a child seat cost us 42 euros per day. You don’t need to buy gasoline. As the manager explained to us, the island is so small that cars are not given out with a full tank, and then they do not require the return of gasoline, because even at a quarter tank you will go around the whole island a hundred times.
Gasoline is by the way cheaper than in Lithuania by 10-20 cents.

We took some of the smallest machines from the catalogue. Actually, here she is. And she’s really tiny!

Roads of course dooooooo! Out of habit, you go and eyes on your forehead from the number of lapels and denouements. Igor downloaded a map of the island beforehand at home, so we had a navigator on a tablet with us. And so Igor navigated, and I taxied. And although the movement is not fast, we still missed the necessary lapels several times and rolled in circles a little.
For the sake of fairness, I note that when you go along the same path not for the first time, then the eyes from the forehead return to their place.

In short, I really liked it! Wow, how cool was that!
For me the experience was both enjoyable and exciting (not stressful) and in fact it’s cheaper than diving! (The diving session cost 80 euros, and mind you – not a day, but 5 hours in total).
So if we go to Tenerife again, I will definitely take a car! And longer 🙂

First we rolled into the lemur coop. Especially in the morning, while it is not hot, there are few visitors and the animals are not very full.
There is a rather big park with crocodiles, monkeys, parrots and a cafe. It has open areas, for example, here with cacti. And there are closed lattice enclosures where you go in and close the door behind you.

You take out a bowl of food from the stash, and a continuous mimimi begins)))

Lemurs and crowds of guinea pigs!

And many other monkeys behind glass. But it’s not as impressive as live warm lemurs and guinea pigs)))

Then we returned home, ate and slept and went by car to the black beach, another dream place.
And so the sand turned out to be really black!

As black as hot asphalt before paving.

Here I was ready to cry again with happiness. Because it’s black sand! You just don’t understand! It’s black and soft!

We spent two hours on the beach here. Evening descended from the mountain, and I still had to cut home while driving! We left already in the blue twilight, with headlights and all that.
It wasn’t an easy road! A serpentine, a narrow road, an oncoming caravan of cars that blind their headlights on hillocks (and the whole road is in these hillocks). Wow, how great it was!
Out of habit, I was very worried about finding a place to park. We drove up and stood almost near the reception!
Brought the keys to the duty manager. And there is such a friendly and cheerful uncle. He once brought me tea from the bar at dinner (they don’t give tea in the restaurant at the dinner itself), smiled a lot and explained that it was a special form, but a for all people.
I was not the only pot-bellied there, but all the same, the attitude towards myself from the staff felt more gentle and caring.
And here is this manager at the reception, we give him the key, he is like this: Its form me? 😉 and giggled. We laughed and said yes, of course, sorry, this is for the uncle-owner. And so it was all kindly and at ease.
——
Bob kept trying to find company among the other kids. And there were crowds of children! And here he is to everyone, this way and that. But the children for the most part clung to their parents and did not make contact.
And suddenly – about a miracle! – Bob met a boy-copy of himself! The same height and complexion, temperament and level of physical activity.
They stuck on each other unbelievably! Since then, a completely different life began in our evenings))) That family turned out to be from Iceland (we thought at first that it was from Greenland). Dad is tall too. And this is the picture every evening: two long dads are sitting, two identical boys are rushing in front of them, and moms are sitting on the sides of the dads, buried in their phones.
First, running around the area near the pool, then the children move to .. assembly hall?))) in general, to some kind of event room, where there is a small stage, then many rows of chairs, and at the end – a bar.
And you can just sit on chairs, drink what you want and relax. And the kids are on their own.
Each time we took Boba in soap and delighted with these games.

And here is another story from life.
We went to dinner, didn’t touch anyone, they offered to take a picture of us, and tomorrow at breakfast, they say, you’ll take the photo. Is free? -Is free!
In the morning the price jumps from zero to 20 euros, but Bob has already fallen in love with the magazine and two photos of him, mom and dad!!! In the magazine about Tenerife infa, about nature and features. And one more of our spread photos.
We took it in the end, and now we have a wonderful memory, because we ourselves do not print photos.

Our dinner on the eve of departure.

Again flew back 9 hours, of which actually in the sky 6.
The flight was greatly delayed, because again there was a headwind for those flying from Vilnius, well, we got late along the chain. Again Bob played and slept.

At home, frost and snow awaited us. I won’t show you my face on this occasion)))

Who said that winter is not the season for traveling? Don’t believe! Of course, depending on where you go. Paris or Prague at this time of the year is not for everyone: rain, cold, bare landscapes. But a trip to Spain, for example, Tenerife, in January will give new impressions and a reason to show off photos from the summer to your friends. At the beginning of the year it is warm, sunny and relatively low prices.

In January you can see a rainbow on Tanerife.

January weather in Tenerife

Tenerife is called the island where eternal spring reigns. It is warm here all year round, there is a lot of sun and greenery. January is no exception. This month, , the air temperature on the island does not drop below 15°C.
Agree, after our January frosts, this weather is just heaven.

However, when going to Tenerife, be sure to take warm clothes with you
– a pair of sweaters, a windbreaker, preferably with a hood, jeans. The weather here, of course, is more or less constant, but the island itself is as changeable as a young girl. This character is given to it by different climatic zones. The researchers counted 28 of them here.
It is common for the sun to shine in the southern part of the island and people to languish in the heat, while in the north it rains.

Tenerife weather forecast for January 2019.

Natalya Vasilchenko, Perm:

“The weather in Tenerife in January is surprisingly unpredictable. If you spend the whole day in one place, say, on the beach, then you can not expect surprises. And if you travel around the island, then in a day you can be under the hot sun, and in the rain, and chill to the bone in the wind.

Listen to the opinions of fellow countrymen and stock up on warm clothes.
It is best to wear jeans and a T-shirt in Tenerife, and put a sweater and jacket in your bag. And don’t forget the umbrella!
Then the time spent in Tenerife will not be wasted, and the exploration of the island will bring pleasure and many exciting discoveries.

What to see in Tenerife in January

What is interesting about Tenerife in January? Except sunny days and lush green landscapes island offers its guests entertainment for every taste.
In winter, almost like at any other time, there are many tourists here, especially from Europe.

Here are some ideas on how to have fun in Tenerife in January.

Holidays on the Atlantic coast

Tenerife is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which is already something exotic for the inhabitants of Russia. Therefore, even in January, when the water is only 20-21°C, one should not miss the opportunity to swim in it.
For those who consider this temperature too low, hotels have swimming pools, usually heated. So make sure you bring your swimsuit.

In January, the water in the sea becomes cool, only 20-21°C.

In addition to swimming on the coast, you can find other entertainment:

The beaches of Costa Adeje, Las Americas and Los Cristianos are popular among tourists. It organizes excursions on a yacht or boat, or you can admire the local beauties from a paraglider.

Diving enthusiasts will be able to watch underwater life, and fishermen will be able to catch exotic catch from the shore or boat.

Windsurfers will experience the joy of conquering huge waves.

Fans of a relaxing holiday will be able to sunbathe on the warm sand, which is also unusual for January.

Excursion routes

Impressions from the trip will be incomplete without excursions. And tourists are increasingly booking excursions via the Internet. This is more convenient for several reasons. You can:

slowly read the description and reviews and choose what you like;

do not fuss and do not spend precious time on the island searching and buying excursions;

buy in advance from home, and pay by card;

there is more choice online than in any agency, and prices are 15-20% lower, because no agency fee.

The most popular excursions in Tenerife this year:

– 6 hours, € 132
for 1-3 persons or €42 per person if you are more than

– 7 hours, € 144
for 1-2 people or € 54 per person if there are more of you;

– 8 hours, € 180

– 6 hours, € 120
for 1-2 people or €60 per person if there are more of you;

– 9 hours, 106 €.

Anyone who has ever been to Tenerife will forever remember the picturesque landscapes, completely unusual to the eye of a resident of Russia. This is especially true of the northern part of the island, which is buried in the greenery of tropical plants and exotic flowers.

The pearl of this splendor is . It received this name for the richest collection of these birds, of which there are at least 500 species. You can wander around the complex all day,
to get acquainted with the inhabitants of the huge aquarium and zoo, watch the show of marine animals, admire the orchids in the botanical garden. In January, many plants of the tropics bloom,
so the tour will be interesting. There are several cafes in the park where you can refresh yourself with dishes of Italian and Spanish cuisines, fast food. Each of them also prepares dishes for children. The price of tickets to the park is 22 euros for a child and 33 for an adult.

See how great it is in the Loro Park aquarium:

Tourists leave a lot of reviews about places like Miniature Park, where miniature models of the sights of the Canary Islands are presented.

Watch the miniature park video:

Don’t miss the Monkey Park tour.
Here you can stroke and feed the monkeys from your hands. Tickets here are inexpensive: 5 euros for children and 10 for adults.

The most famous place on the island is the Maska Gorge.
They say that these places were a haven for pirates, here and now, with a certain amount of luck, you can find hidden treasures.

Walk along the gorge Masks:

Guimar pyramids are no less famous.
You should definitely take a picture near them – they say that such a photo will bring good luck.

See the panorama of the Guimar pyramids:

Vladimir and Irina Sibiryakov, St. Petersburg:

“We are impressed by the Monkey Park! Lemurs and green monkeys are so cute, they themselves climbed into our arms. We bought them food that is offered at the entrance to the park, but they refused it. But dates and bananas were snatched right out of their hands.”

Tenerife New Year

Going to Tenerife on New Year’s Eve, many tourists expect a grand celebration. However, we have to disappoint you – in the Caribbean archipelago, New Year’s celebrations are quiet. The only thing you can count on is fireworks in the central squares of cities and a festive program in some restaurants.

What New Year is without fireworks?
flickr.com/sackerman519

Among the New Year’s traditions of the island, one can be noted – under the striking of the clock, counting the last seconds of the outgoing year, it is customary to eat 12 grapes – for good luck.

Olga Chubarova, Tula:

“In December 2016, my husband and I bought trips to Tenerife for the New Year holidays. Thought it would be fun. But the holiday without the traditional Christmas tree and salad Olivier with champagne seemed boring to us. But now we boast that on New Year’s Eve we swam in the Atlantic Ocean. We are thinking of celebrating New Year 2019 here as well.”

Other January holidays

On January 6, 2019, you can participate in the traditional feast of the Three Wise Men. On this day, local residents arrange solemn processions in the streets. Everywhere music plays, theatrical performances on biblical themes take place. And the “wizards” distribute sweet gifts to everyone.

On January 20, the people of Adeje traditionally honor Saint Sebastian, the protector of animals. His statue is taken out to the ocean, in the waters of which the townspeople bathe their pets.

Nativity scenes are set up on the streets at Christmas.

Shopping in Tenerife in January

Tenerife boutiques have a lot of sales after Christmas. At this time, here with discounts of 30-40%, and in some places even cheaper, you can buy clothes and perfumes of famous brands.

One of the lowest prices in January in the Canary Islands is for alcohol. A bottle of good Spanish wine can be found for just one to one and a half euros, which is lower than the prices even in the “duty free” of the island’s airports.

If you are planning to buy souvenirs, then you need to go to the merchants at fairs to get them.

The Ivantsov family, Tyumen:

“On the advice of friends, we went to the local market to buy gifts for friends. And they didn’t regret it. What is there just not there – cute toys and figurines, the thinnest silk scarves, original magnets, exotic fruits! And quite inexpensive. We bought a full bag of presents – it was difficult to stop.

Prices in Tenerife in January

Of course, prices in the Canary Islands cannot be low by definition, but at the beginning of winter they are much more affordable than in other seasons.

So, the average price of a tour in Tenerife for two to a 4-star hotel for 10 days next January is 1500 euros. The prices are comparable to holidays in Turkey.

If you want to be in summer in the middle of a cold winter, Tenerife is the best choice. Immerse yourself in this island with all your heart, and you will take away so many impressions from here that they will last until your next vacation.

If you are still hesitating whether to go or not, then watch Dmitry Krylov’s program “Unlucky Notes”:

Did the evil boss send you on vacation in the winter? Do not be sad, and at this time of the year there are many places on the map where you can go on vacation. One of these places is the island of Tenerife, the largest representative of the Canary archipelago, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The weather here is exceptionally favorable, so a holiday in Tenerife in January can be unforgettable.

Tenerife weather in January

Winter in Tenerife is no less comfortable in terms of climate than other seasons. In general, the climate is, in a way, a feature of the island. The warm subtropical climate makes its weather conditions comfortable, but not swelteringly hot, although Tenerife is located at the same latitude with the Sahara Desert. This is what attracts many Europeans here who want to spend the New Year and Christmas holidays in the warmth.

January, due to the rains passing on the northern part of the island, is characterized by rapid evergreen flowering. Those who were lucky enough to visit the north of Tenerife will long remember the subtropical riot of colors and colors in the middle of winter. It is safe to say that Tenerife justifies its nickname “the island of eternal spring” one hundred percent. The southern part of the island is less rich in this respect, but it is also less rainy.

As for the average temperature, in January it reaches the minimum values of the year. However, one should not be too scared, it has never dropped below +11 in the entire known history of the island. On average, the air warms up to +20 degrees during the day and +15 – at night. Rains in January in Tenerife fall less frequently than in late autumn and early winter – only about 35 mm, but the air humidity remains generally higher than in summer.

In general, the north of the island is more capricious in terms of weather than the docile south. This happens due to the fault of the northeast trade winds, which are quite cold at this time of the year. There are more days when the sky will be covered with clouds than absolutely cloudless ones, but the amount of rainfall in general does not exceed an average of 3 days per month. When planning a vacation, it is worth considering that the relief of the island is so complex and diverse that the weather in different parts of it can vary significantly. While it will be raining in the north, in the south it may well be warm, windless weather without any precipitation. So, the northern resort town of Puerto de la Cruz is located in the low part of the island, respectively, it is cooler here than in its western brother Guia de Ezor. However, the difference between them usually does not exceed 1-2 degrees.

The thermometer can fall more significantly in settlements that are located in the central part of the island and at a considerable distance from the ocean. In such places, the temperature ranges from about +7 to +15 Celsius. Much colder around the village of Vilaflor and on the way to the top of the Teide volcano. Tourists without a warm jacket and closed shoes are at risk of catching a cold. In addition, at higher elevations, the likelihood of rain and dense fog increases, which can spoil the impression of the tour – it will hide many of the beautiful landscapes that open on a clear day.

If you are going to Tenerife in January, you should definitely take care of the presence of warm clothes. This is especially important if you are planning an active holiday and hiking, climbing a volcano.

Beach holidays

Sunbathing in Tenerife in January is quite possible, the weather is conducive to this, the sun is warm and not scalding, so the risk of getting burned is minimal. The best places for sunbathing at this time are Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. You can snatch a few sunny hours from winter without any problems.

The water temperature in Tenerife in January is about 19 degrees. You can swim in such water, but there are very few who want it – it is very cool and refreshing water. For especially heat-loving tourists, almost all 4-5 star Tenerife hotels provide heated pools. The temperature in them is maintained at +24, which allows you to comfortably relax with children all year round.

But for fans of surfing and windsurfing in Tenerife in January – complete freedom of action! Thanks to good winds, there are a lot of them on the island at this time of the year.

What to do in Tenerife in January?

For those who still don’t know what to do in Tenerife in January, we would like to give you a few leisure ideas.

As the weather is cool in January, walking tours in the Teide National Park can be a good alternative to a beach holiday this month. Climbing mountains in cool weather is much more comfortable than on a hot summer day. Feel like a pioneer, walk around and see the volcano, visit the observatory and admire the famous lunar landscape. The climate for this kind of research in January is quite favorable, and believe me, there will be many impressions from independent discoveries.

Entertainment facilities in Tenerife are open all year round. Lovers of good music will like local nightclubs with their modern hits and sets of famous DJs.

Wintering in Tenerife with a child

This was our second trip to Tenerife. I was there two years ago when I was pregnant. We really liked the island, and then we decided that we would definitely return here, only the three of us and for a longer time. What came out of it is below.

Why Tenerife?

The island is diverse in its nature and landscapes. There is an ocean, mountains, volcanoes, laurel forests, unique black sand beaches. In addition, the Canary Islands (including Tenerife) are almost the only place in Europe where you can sunbathe and swim in winter. At the same time, Tenerife does not get abnormally hot, as in some Asian countries. The climate is favorable all year round. Together with clean sea air and the absence of poisonous snakes and insects, this makes the island an ideal place for families with children.

In addition to making up for the lack of heat and sun, which are so lacking in winter, you can stock up on vitamins in Tenerife. Mango, avocado, papaya, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, carambola – and this is not a complete list of everything that Tenerife can boast of. As for prices, wintering in Tenerife will be relatively inexpensive compared to other European countries.

How to get there?

Like last time, we flew to Tenerife from Warsaw with a Ryanair low-cost airline. And they got to Warsaw from Minsk by connecting trains with a change in Brest. These trains run 2 times a day. From Warsaw to Modlin Airport we traveled by ModlinBus bus shuttle.

Before boarding the plane

The flight from Warsaw to Tenerife takes just over 5 hours. Therefore, we had to arm ourselves with heavy artillery: toys, puzzles, magazines with stickers, they even took a children’s loto.

Surprisingly, the flight went well, and Ryanair’s rules for flying with small children were quite standard. Just in case, I will give them here:

Children under 2 years old are allowed to fly free of charge without providing a separate seat. At the same time, when buying tickets, you must specify the number of babies. A small fee is charged, as with Belavia.

When buying a ticket without a seat, the child is not entitled to luggage. However, in addition to checked baggage, one of the parents can take a bag with children’s things weighing up to 5 kg into the cabin. We took a standard backpack, which was stuffed to the eyeballs with children’s things, toys, food.

Also, you can take 2 large things belonging to the child on the plane free of charge: a stroller and a car seat (or travel crib). Strollers can be dropped off at the ramp. I recommend that you take a large bag with you, where you wrap it before boarding the plane.

Any amount of food/drink required by the child during the flight is allowed on the aircraft. On the tape during the inspection, it is better to get all the bottles and jars out of the bag, and place liquid food, for example, mashed potatoes in tubes, into special plastic bags.

By plane

The plane arrives at Tenerife South Airport. You can get to the desired resort by taxi or by bus. You can check the schedule on the website of the TITSA carrier. When leaving the airport, next to the bus stop, there is a machine where you can buy a Ten + transport card, then trips around the island will be discounted.

Where to stay?

One of the most important things when planning a trip is choosing a resort. I propose to consider a few. Below we will only talk about those that I managed to visit personally.

Playa de Las Americas

This is one of the most popular resorts in the south of Tenerife. It is located between Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, but in fact these three resorts merge into one another and merge into one large one. All three resorts are ideal for a beach holiday. There are a lot of spacious beaches with all the necessary infrastructure to choose from. Most of them are equipped with breakwaters to protect the coast and make swimming safe and enjoyable. Such beaches are also suitable for families with children.

Playa del Duque

Playa de Las Americas has everything you need for a perfect holiday: promenades along the Atlantic Ocean, restaurants, cafe bars, shopping centers, SPA centers and casinos. In close proximity are the famous water parks Siam Park and Aqualand in Costa Adeje.

Promenade in Costa Adeje

However, there are also disadvantages. The resort is famous for its vibrant nightlife, and numerous discos and nightclubs make this place popular among young people. Therefore, in the evenings it can be quite noisy here, which means that lovers of a relaxing family holiday are better off choosing hotels closer to the resort of Los Cristianos or in Los Cristianos itself. Also in the south of the island there is little greenery and there are practically no parks. The entire territory of the resort is built up with hotels, residential complexes, villas and commercial facilities. Therefore, if you want to take a break from the bustle of the city, and at the same time see how the locals live, it is better to stay in the north of the island.

Playa de Fanabe beach

Los Gigantes

We spent only a week in Los Gigantes – we were visiting my husband’s sister, who was vacationing there with her family. We arrived there after a month of living in Puerto de la Cruz, so the first thing that caught my eye was the lack of greenery and shade and narrow sidewalks. It is inconvenient to move around with a stroller: it is crowded, there are almost no exits anywhere, the road is often dug up. There are no parks and practically no playgrounds. And those that are, are very small and there is absolutely no shadow on them.

One of the courtyards in Los Gigantes

But the main disadvantage is the lack of a promenade. We lived in the Poblado Marinero apartment complex near the port. On the ground floor of the apartment there were cafes and shops, in front of them – a small path near the water, supported by a parking lot. The pedestrian section is short: it is blocked further, and it is impossible to walk along the sea.

Port of Los Gigantes (view from the observation deck)

Every time to get somewhere, you had to make a detour along the dusty road uphill through the bus station. Therefore, with children, I would not stay here, but chose the neighboring Puerto de Santiago. There is a nice long promenade, a large playground, something like a park and several beaches, including the famous La Arena.

On the plus side, Los Gigantes is suitable for lovers of trekking or as a starting point for trips around the island.

The main attraction is the cliffs of Los Gigantes

You can go to Masca (located nearby) or on a sea excursion to watch dolphins. Beach lovers should also like it here. You can swim on a small cozy beach located in the village itself, in a natural pool (located next to the Los Gigantes observation deck) or on the beaches of Puerto de Santiago, which can be reached on foot.

Beach in Los Gigantes

Puerto de la Cruz

This is the most famous resort in the north of the island. It is chosen by pensioners and lovers of a relaxing family holiday. Unlike the south, it is not dry there, there are many parks and gardens, and beaches with black volcanic sand. The resort is literally immersed in greenery and flowers, and the streets are filled with birdsong. The city has all the necessary infrastructure: a promenade, cafes and restaurants, shops, playgrounds. And wide sidewalks with gentle slopes make moving around the city pleasant and convenient for walking with a stroller.

The promenade in Puerto de la Cruz

The city has preserved the old Spanish architecture, which happily coexists with modern graffiti on the walls of houses. Despite the developed tourist infrastructure, you can still see how the locals live and enjoy the traditional flavor – just take a walk along the picturesque Calle Mequinez street. For even more color, head to Punta Brava. The famous Loro Park is also located there. You can get there on foot.

Graffiti on the streets of Puerto de la Cruz

However, Puerto de la Cruz also has disadvantages. Often, due to strong waves, the beaches are closed (there are no breakwaters), and it is not always possible to swim. If the weather is unlucky, then you can swim in the pools at hotels and apartments, in the natural pool, in the complex of artificial lakes Lago Martianes. Therefore, if the main purpose of the trip is not a beach holiday, but nature, then you should like it here. In Puerto de la Cruz, you don’t feel like you’re in a resort. People come here to live.

We have been to Puerto de la Cruz twice. Last time we stayed there for about a month. Therefore, keep in mind that when describing the island below, it will mostly be about Puerto de la Cruz.

Accommodation

In the north of the island, a studio apartment can be rented for 1000 € per month. And for two thousand – a double room with meals in a middle-class hotel. Lots of half board options. There are also apartments with kitchen and meals.

Initially, we wanted to rent an apartment with a kitchen and cook ourselves, but we thought that a hotel room with long-term meals would cost about the same. And if at the same time you don’t always cook and sometimes eat in cafes and restaurants, then the option with an apartment will turn out even more expensive. We already had experience with a hotel in Tenerife. Last time we just stayed at a half-board hotel opposite Jardin beach and were satisfied (you can read it here). Our last hotel had a very good location and the food was really good, but there was no fridge or kettle, let alone a kitchen. This option was definitely not suitable for us when traveling with a child.

Then we decided to look for a room with meals and a kitchen where we could cook food for the child. Most of the options that suited us for the price were in the La Paz district. As a result, we stopped at the Masaru apartments.

Apartments Masaru

The complex is clean and tidy, cleaned every day. Each room has a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony. There are 2 swimming pools on the territory: an adult (heated up to +26 ° C) and a children’s one, there is a small green area. In the summer, they say, there is animation, but we did not find it.

Apartment swimming pool

The food is simple, the menu is not very varied, but everything was enough. For dinner, several types of meat, fish (new every day), salads, side dishes, desserts. There were salmon, tuna, swordfish, mussels, cuttlefish, paella. Be sure to have one hot grilled (fish or meat) with papas – Canarian potatoes. Live music in the lobby in the evening. The singer (if you can call him that) plays the synthesizer and mutters something under his breath. But the kids liked to run there every evening after dinner to the music.

Initially, we assumed that we would cook everything for the child ourselves. But at breakfast and dinner there was always something dietary from the common table, so we didn’t bother and gave the child what we ate ourselves. For breakfast for my daughter they took oatmeal with milk with raisins and a banana, for dinner – pasta or steamed vegetables, fruits. Lunches were prepared by ourselves (they were not included in the accommodation), for these needs I took a blender.

View from our balcony (5th floor)

Another plus is that next to the hotel, literally across the fence from it, there is a playground. One of the best in the city. We visited it almost every day.

Playground and Masaru apartment in the background

And there is simply a place to walk. Near the hotel is the Mirador de la Paz observation deck. From it departs a nice path along the rock along the sea. Near the Botanical Garden, Orchid Garden, small squares and just green areas between hotels. One of them is within Calle Verode, the Strelizia Park II apartments and the Riu Garoe hotel. It is especially nice to walk there in the evening.

Pedestrian street Calle Verode

The neighborhood is very quiet and pleasant. Only sometimes in a cafe you can meet locals over a glass of beer in a football bar or pensioners dancing to live music, such as in the Intermezzo cafe.

Cafe near La Paz

If we talk about cons, the main drawback is the location. The hotel is located on a mountain and away from the beaches. To go to the sea or to the center, you need to go down and back up the hill, which is not so easy with a stroller.

Road to the sea (Camino San Amaro street)

But this was not a surprise to us. We decided that it would even be useful to some extent, because this time we planned to climb the Teide. The nearest beach is Playa de Matianez and a large shopping mall is also downstairs. Walk about 15 minutes along a nice path, back – longer. The road to Jardin beach will take about 30 minutes through the city and about 40 minutes along the promenade.

Prices

Eating in Tenerife is inexpensive. We bought only food for lunch, drinks and fruits. We went shopping at Mercadona and HiperDino supermarkets. The largest Mercadona is located in the shopping center Las Piramides de Martianez. To get there, we had to go down the mountain. The prices there are the lowest in the city. Pork – 5 euros, turkey – 6 euros, beef – 7-9euro depending on the part. Lots of fresh fish. Dorada – 7.25 € per kilogram, king prawns – 9.75 €. A lot of greens and vegetables, there are also finished products.

But we were not very lucky with fruit. February was not generous to choose from. There was no mango, which I ate in December on our last visit. But papaya was sold everywhere – 2.39 € per kilogram. We also bought avocados, strawberries, carambola, plums, tamarillo (but this is more of a vegetable than a fruit, also from the nightshade family). Oranges, bananas, apples and pears were not bought. This goodness was enough for us in the hotel. Bought a pineapple once. Was not very ripe.

Fruits in Tenerife in February

Mercadona also has the largest selection of children’s products. Diapers are represented by Dodot and Deliplus trademarks. The usual Pampers are sold in small shops and in small volumes, which is not very profitable. Therefore, I decided to try Deliplus panties, and I was very pleased: they retain moisture well, and have a fun design.

Diaper range

Baby food is represented by Nestle and Hero Baby. A lot of flavors and combinations of meat + vegetables. All jars of 0.99 € for 250 grams, which is very profitable. In comparison, in Minsk, food of such a plan under the Gerber brand costs more than euros for a volume of 190 grams. If we didn’t have dinner at home, but went for a walk for the whole day, then I bought Aglaya two cans of baby food, and for myself I took a ready-made salad (2.75 € for a large portion with chicken or tuna) or sliced jamon with bread. Thus, lunch out of the house cost us 5 euros for two.

Assortment of baby cereals

If you dine in a cafe, you can also find inexpensive options. For example, you can get a set meal consisting of three courses for only 8-9 €. Ask at the “menu del dia” café. A proven option is lunch at the Mazaroco cafeteria (located next to the bus station at the intersection of Mazaroco and Calle el Pozo streets). Last time we lived nearby and often went there. For the sake of interest, we looked this time. The price of the complex has not changed – 7.90 €. For this price you get an appetizer, main course, drink or dessert. The choice of appetizers and main dishes is quite large.

Lunch offer at the Mazaroco cafe

Buffets are also popular, with many ready-made dishes that are allowed to be taken without restrictions. Often such buffets are arranged at hotels. So, a buffet lunch at the Florida Plaza hotel will cost 8 euros per person, and a buffet at the International Chinese restaurant (located on the waterfront in front of the Lago Martianez pool complex) will cost 7.95 €. Many restaurants with good dining options are located around Mequinez and El Lomo streets. I advise you to look into the sea restaurant El Bajio at Mequinez, 21. For only 10.90 € there you can order a whole fish with a side dish for lunch. Very tasty. I definitely recommend.

Restaurant with a lunch offer on El Lomo street

In addition to food costs, the main costs were travel and entrance fees to parks. To save on travel, I recommend purchasing a Ten+ transport card at the airport. Used the laundry once. Cost – 3 euros for 9 kg of linen, with drying – 4 euros.

Weather

We can say that we were very lucky with the weather. Throughout February, that we stayed in Tenerife, the weather was warm, sunny, dry. The average temperature is about +23 °C, in the south it is slightly warmer – +25 °C. During the month it rained only once, and once we caught a hurricane with wind, which brought sand particles from the Sahara. As we later learned, such a phenomenon is not uncommon for the Canaries, and it even has a name – Kalima.

Calima is a weather phenomenon typical of the Canary Islands, when the sky and the horizon are covered with haze, similar to fog, but in fact suspended dust of Saharan origin hangs in the air. With its appearance, the air temperature rises by several degrees, and the air becomes much drier. When the Kalima arrives, it is difficult to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins.

When this happened, we were with the whole family in Los Gigantes. A very strong wind arose in the morning. The air was dusty and hard to breathe. On this day, everyone stayed at home and watched what was happening through the closed windows. By lunchtime, when the wind began to subside a little, my husband and I made masks from neckerchiefs soaked with water and went for a short walk. There were practically no people on the streets. Cafes did not work, shops closed in a hurry. The ground was littered with wind-torn palm branches, pieces of slate, overturned garbage containers. It was a little uncomfortable. We went for a walk to the deserted beach, as it was the safest place (less likely that something would fall on our heads), and returned home. There we found sand on our skin, in our hair, under our clothes.

Los Gigantes cliffs during the day

Gradually the visibility worsened. And if before lunch the mountains were in a haze, then by the evening they practically ceased to be visible. It all looked like some kind of Silent Hill. As the media later wrote, it was the worst Kalima since 2002.

And these are the rocks in the evening

Port of Los Gigantes in the haze

The next day the visibility improved a little, and we all, together with the children, went for a walk. We went to the playground, to the cafe, to the beach. Bathed a lot. Because of the Kalima, the temperature rose to +30 ° C, it was very stuffy and I wanted to freshen up. We spent the whole day outside. In the evening, returning home, the husband felt unwell, he vomited. And the next morning, the child had a high temperature. As the doctor, whom we called to the house, later said, all this could be caused by Kalima. The concentration of dust particles and toxic substances in the air these days (including the one that we spent completely on the street) exceeded the permissible limits by several dozen times.

As for swimming in the ocean, if you really want to swim in Tenerife, of course, you can. But the water is cold – about +20 ° C, regardless of the temperature outside. Therefore, if you are not used to swimming in such water, you can most likely only take a dip. And the hotter it is outside, the faster you will do it. Therefore, in the south of the island you have more chances. But there is good news: you gradually get used to such water. And if for the first time you only dip, then on the second day you swim for 5 minutes, and the next – and all 10.

Waves on Jardin Beach

During my month in Puerto de la Cruz, I managed to swim in the ocean about 5 times. The rest of the time we came, the beach was waving a red flag, indicating strong waves and a ban on swimming. This can often be seen in Puerto de la Cruz. Sometimes they even close the whole beach. But I can reassure you: we did not go to the beach every day, so there could actually be more days suitable for swimming. On the weekends, we almost always went on excursions, and due to the fact that the beach was quite far away, we often stayed for a swim in the hotel pool or went to the natural one, which was nearby.

Red flag on Jardin beach

Things are better in the south of the island. Breakwaters save you from strong waves, there are also small cozy bays without waves. The beaches in the southern part of the island are most suitable for families with children. In Los Gigantes, the beaches are also great for swimming. And while we were staying there, we swam every day, except for the day when there was a hurricane. Kalima also contributed to bathing: a few days before and after it was an unprecedented heat, the water in the ocean warmed up, and the dusty and dry air forced to plunge as often as possible.

What to do?

Walk! Walk along the embankment, walk along the pretty streets. Puerto de la Cruz has many pedestrian streets. The most famous of them is Calle Quintana. It is on it that the Cathedral is located, and the street leads straight to the busiest square of the city – Plaza del Charco. I also recommend taking a walk along the picturesque Camino San Amaro, shrouded in flowers. Desirable – down, as there are a lot of steps.

Camino San Amaro

And be sure to follow Calle Mequinez, which I mentioned above. The street is not entirely pedestrian, but cars are extremely rare there. Colorful houses, slender rows of palm trees, graffiti on the walls of houses, cozy cafes and small charming squares – all this is about Calle Mequinez.

Calle Mequinez

Parallel to it runs a very small and no less pretty street Calle El Lomo. It has a very pleasant budget hotel with a rooftop terrace. It’s called Puerto Azul. This is a great option for a few nights to see the city.

Colorful houses on Calle El Lomo

Beaches

The most famous beach of Puerto de la Cruz and one of the best in the north of the island is Playa Jardin. Often this name means three beaches with a length of 1 kilometer, following each other from the fortress of San Felipe to the village of Punta Brava, but it is the first one that bears this name. To swim, choose one of the three, where the waves are smaller. Although the beaches are located close to each other, at the same time one of them can have a red flag and the other a yellow one. We have not yet been able to meet the green flag on the beaches in Puerto de la Cruz.

Continuation of Playa Jardin

But absolutely anyone is suitable for playing on the sand – the beaches are wide, fine black sand on all. Just be aware that it gets very hot. The beaches are equipped with toilets, showers, changing rooms, cafes. Entrance is free, sunbed + umbrella – 5 €. Near the waterfront there is a park (actually Jardin gardens) and a playground.

Sand games

If the weather is not very good and all the beaches have a red flag, then you can swim in Lago Martianez – a complex of pools of different sizes and depths filled with sea water. There are children’s pools, sun loungers, cafes. Cons: cold water, almost no entertainment for children. Go only if there is no pool in the apartment. Entrance ticket: 5.50 € – adults, 2.50 € – children under 10 years old.

You can also swim in the natural pools. This is my favorite option. In fact, you swim in the same ocean, only the water is warmer (it warms up faster), and stone fences protect from waves. Natural pools are scattered throughout the island. The most famous are located on the waterfront in the town of Garachico. There is a good natural pool in Los Gigantes, and three hundred meters from it is the El Tancon cave, where daredevils can swim. Puerto de la Cruz also has its own natural pool. It is located opposite the Best Semiramis Hotel. To find it, you need to go from Playa de Matianez along the embankment to the right, there will be a descent behind the tunnel in the rock.

Natural swimming pool (view from above)

Officially the trail is closed, but you can walk. But there is a high probability that you will swim alone. Life hack: if you live on a mountain, you can go down to the pool using the outdoor elevator of the Best Semiramis hotel. At the same time, it is advisable to behave confidently so that there is no doubt that you are hotel guests.

Puerto de la Cruz Natural Pool

Parks

Puerto de la Cruz has a lot of parks. The most famous are Loro Park, Botanical Garden, Orchid Garden, Taoro Park. I talked about them in detail last time. Therefore, this time I will tell you about the features of visiting these places with children.

And of course I will start with Loro Park, because this is the number one place for the whole family. An adult ticket costs 38 €, a child ticket costs 26 €. Children under 6 years are admitted free. You can get there on foot, but the kids will like the option of traveling on a branded yellow train. Such a train departs every half an hour from Plaza de los Reyes Catolicos (stop next to McDonald’s).

Flamingo enclosure in Loro Parque

We spent the whole day at the zoo and our baby was doing just fine, even though she missed her nap. She was so interested in looking at animals and birds, running along the paths in the penguinarium and the oceanarium, that there was no question of sleep.

At the enclosure with a hippo

But most of all she was impressed by the show: dolphins, parrots, killer whales. And even now at home, 2 months after the trip, she constantly remembers how she saw parrots (she even remembers what colors they were), dolphins and killer whales in Loro Park. By the way, the last show is the most spectacular. But with children it is better to sit far away so that they are not afraid of these graceful giants and are not splashed from head to toe. On the lower rows, where it is possible to get splashed by an animal, warning signs are pasted on the backs of the seats.

Killer Whale Show in Loro Park

The children were also delighted with the pavilion with jellyfish: they ran from one aquarium to another, examined these bizarre creatures, played hide and seek. I know that many do not get here, so I definitely advise you not to miss this pavilion and look. We even did it twice: first we came alone, and then with our nephews. While the children are playing, parents can relax – watching jellyfish is very calming.

Jellyfish aquarium

There are cafes and restaurants on the territory of Loro Park, but the food there does not please with prices and variety, and there are often queues. So we brought our own. This is not forbidden, there are even special picnic tables. The zoo also has a children’s area with a playground and attractions, but it seemed to us that it was for older children (somewhere from 3 years old), so we didn’t play there.

It is worth going to the Botanical Garden with children only if your child is a fan of plants, otherwise they simply cannot stand it. There is no entertainment there. We went there when Aglaya fell asleep, and for two hours we walked with her in the garden in the carriage. With kids, I still advise you to visit the Orchid Garden (Gardens of Sitio Litre). This is such a light version of the botanical garden, but there are also many interesting trees there: for example, a 600-year-old dragon tree, a giant pine, the oldest bougainvillea. There is a pavilion with parrots and a pond with carps and a chameleon. Fish can be fed with special food (purchased at the box office for 0.50 €). The child will not be torn away from this activity! Also in the garden there is a baby swing, a lawn for playing petanque, a cafe.

Carp pond in the Orchid Garden

I also talked about Taoro Park last time. But I want to add that if you are with a stroller, then it is better to enter it from above – from the side of the Sortikha park. To do this, near the Hotel Parque San Antonio, you need to turn onto Taoro Street. This way you won’t have to face the many stairs that lead to the park if you enter through the main entrance. Sortikha Park is a family place with many green alleys for walking. They walk with children, walk dogs, there is a cafe, a playground, exercise equipment. Taoro Park is, first of all, cascades of waterfalls and one of the best viewing platforms in the city. You can see all of Puerto de la Cruz! And on the trees near the Gran Hotel Taoro (now under restoration) you can meet green parrots.

Playgrounds

The main playgrounds are located in Piazza Charco, in the gardens on Jardin Beach, and there is a small playground near HiperDino in front of the bus station.

Playground near the beach Jardin

But one of the best playgrounds is in El Laurel park. Many come here from afar or specially bring their children so that they can play. And we were very lucky that our hotel bordered on it. We went to the site almost every day.

El Laurel Inclusive Park

In essence, El Laurel Inclusive Park is a large playground among flowering trees where your child will hang out for at least 3 hours. The playground is divided into 2 zones – for toddlers and older children.

Map of the El Laurel park

The entire territory is soft, there are slides, carousels, swings and even trolls! There are many interactive elements in the baby zone. You can ride all the rides with your children, I also tested the trolls personally.

Toddler area

Playground suitable for children with special needs. There are picnic tables. The only negative is that the site is not in the center, and to get to it on foot, you need to overcome the hill.

Excursions

If you are with children, I would advise you to go to Icod de los Vinos. The town is very pretty, located near Puerto de la Cruz and there is something to see: a park with a 1000-year-old dragon tree, a pavilion with butterflies, a banana house, a doll museum and much more. On the main square near the church there is a summer cafe and a large playground.

Plaza with cafe and playground in Icod de los Vinos

At the information center on the way to the park, you can get a discount coupon for entrance tickets to the butterfly pavilion, as well as a free booklet with a quest game and tasks for children, into which stickers can be pasted, thus marking visits to the sights.

1000 year old dragon tree

I also recommend a trip to the Teide National Park. And it is not necessary to climb the volcano itself, many people walk with their children just in the park, enjoying the Martian landscapes. Keep in mind that on the way to the park (and it is located at a fairly high altitude), the ears can be painful for children.

Carnival

Another reason to come to Tenerife in winter, namely at the end of February, is the carnival. It takes place annually in the north of the island in the last week of February (early March) and is considered the largest event in the Canary Islands. The main action takes place in the capital – it is there that the spectacle is considered the most colorful and massive. In terms of scope, the carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is considered the second after the carnival in Brazil.

Carnival also takes place in many other towns in the north of the island. We saw preparations for the carnival in Icod de los Vinos, and private events at the choice of the queen were held on stage in Puerto de la Cruz (you had to buy tickets for them). However, the main program began this year on Friday 21 February. On this day, a children’s parade was held in Puerto de la Cruz, and a grand procession was planned in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, timed to coincide with the opening of the festival. Initially, we wanted to book accommodation in the capital for a few days in order to attend the main events of the carnival, but there were no affordable accommodations two weeks before the main events, and what was found was rented out at space prices. Therefore, on Friday after the children’s parade, I took Aglaya to my husband’s parents in Los Gigantes (we were supposed to come to them the next day), and she returned to Puerto de la Cruz, and my husband and I went to the capital to watch the opening parade .

Start of the parade

Admission to the event is free. There are a lot of people, but everyone was distributed along the main street along which the procession took place, so that everyone could see everything. We can say that we had VIP seats. The whole parade we stood in the second row behind the people who were sitting on their own chairs, and we saw everything perfectly.

Performance by artists

Theatrical procession

The costumes were amazing, they were bright and colorful. We were overwhelmed by a sense of belonging to some great holiday. The procession lasted from eight in the evening until midnight. The parade was completed by the carriages of the queens (they also opened the parade) and moving theatrical platforms with dancing artists.

Star Wars-themed procession

After midnight, the whole city turned into one big open-air party. And it was the best holiday I have ever been to. Thousands of people in costumes took to the streets of the city to have fun, many with families, including those with small children. A lot of venues with music and dancing were organized, people were distributed between them, and, as a result, there were no crowds anywhere. You can move freely and feel safe at the same time. Food and drink outlets were also plentiful, there were no problems with toilets, and a night bus service was organized so that everyone could safely get home, which we then used.

People in costumes on the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

I think that everyone should visit such a holiday at least once in their life! In addition, it is much more affordable than in Brazil. One has only to take care of housing and costumes in advance.

Is it worth flying to the Canary Islands in winter?

December 12, 2019

Author: Travel agency “Club of travel lovers T9Tour”

So why should you fly to Tenerife in winter?

Reason no.
Weather :
Early morning 17 degrees, isn’t it a dream? During the day the temperature rises to 25 degrees – perfect. On cloudy days, the temperature is 22-23 degrees – gorgeous.

Reason number two.
Bathing :
The water in the ocean is 22 degrees. Someone immediately runs into the sea, while someone prefers to bask in the sun, and then plunge into the beautiful water.

Reason number three.
Entertainment :
The Spaniards have an eternal fiesta in their souls and in their lives. They know a lot about holidays, entertainment and unbridled fun. During the winter carnivals, famous characters from films, fairy tales and cartoons walk the streets of Tenerife, dressed up in various costumes. Laughter and music are heard everywhere, and wine flows like water.

Reason number four.
Democratic prices :
Winter holidays in December and January are quite democratic if you can avoid the date of the Catholic Christmas and the New Year itself. This is the low season with all the ensuing pluses. A trip to the Canary Islands in winter is much cheaper than a summer vacation.

And finally reason number five.
Sales :
Winter in Tenerife is the time of massive Spanish sales in January and big shopping. Shopping lovers can make themselves a New Year’s gift in the form of things from popular world brands at very low prices.

You can always consult with our managers about all the details of a holiday in the Canary Islands or in any other direction by tel. +375298380116, +375293605758 or choose a holiday according to your taste and budget on the website. Also, if you wish, you can independently book flights here.

Tours at the end of January: some pluses

Most tourists consider winter holidays in Europe to be a bad idea. Well, in some ways they can be understood: the daylight hours are short, it is chilly outside and does not at all look like a winter fairy tale. But there are pluses of traveling in the second half of January and in February, which outweigh the minuses.

Where to go to the sea in April and May – Oryol region

We tell you where to bring a beautiful sea tan and photos of sunsets in the spring

March 28, 2019

7 minutes to read

Not everyone manages to get a vacation in the summer. But if you have a couple of weeks off work in April or May, this chance should be used! At this time, in many resorts it is already possible to swim. In Russia, of course, even on the Black Sea coast, the water warms up only by the end of May. But abroad there are many countries where in April you can have a great time on the beach.

April and May are still a relatively low tourist season: at this time you can find cheaper accommodation and fewer people on the coast. By May, prices begin to rise, the flow of tourists increases, but the beaches are still not crowded. We’ll show you where to go.

Israel

In Israel, the beach season opens in April, and it is better to pay attention to the resorts of the Red Sea, especially Eilat. In April, the water temperature here reaches +23 °C, while in the Mediterranean Israeli resorts it rarely rises above +18 °C. By May, the Mediterranean coast becomes warmer.

Eilat is famous for its coral reefs, which attract divers from all over the world. Not far from the city is the Timna Valley. A huge park has been created in it, in which historical sights coexist with natural ones.

A direct flight from Moscow to Eilat takes approximately 4 hours.

Thailand

Thailand is perfect for an April vacation. The water is warm, up to +29 °C, and the hot and humid rainy season has not yet begun – it will come in May. The most famous resorts of this country are Pattaya, Koh Samui and Phuket. Beach holidays are well developed here – you can swim and sunbathe, scuba dive or rent a boat for a boat trip.

You can also find activities outside the beach. Someone will be interested in the vibrant nightlife of Bangkok, someone will prefer shopping in modern shopping centers and exotic oriental bazaars, and someone will be attracted by excursions to ancient temples and palaces or to natural parks.

A direct flight from Moscow to Phuket lasts approximately 9 hours.

The “Unlimited Internet Abroad” service from Tele2 will help you stay in touch in instant messengers and social networks at your favorite seaside resorts.

Connect for free – pay only when you use the Internet while traveling.

Canary Islands

In the Canary Islands in April the water warms up to +18-19 °C. In principle, you can already swim. But in May it gets warmer, and most tourists try to visit Tenerife, Gran Canaria and other islands of the archipelago this month.

This is a great place for swimming, windsurfing, diving and sea fishing. However, it should be borne in mind that the island of the island of strife. For example, the most popular – Tenerife – is famous for its beaches, there are many tourists here. Puerto de la Cruz is quieter and calmer, but the coast is rocky, and it is better to swim in the pool next to the hotel. If you wish, you can organize a rich leisure program for yourself – from bars and discos to climbing to the top of the Teide volcano.

It takes about 7 hours to get from Moscow to Tenerife by plane.

Hainan Island (China)

Hainan is perhaps the most popular Chinese resort. It is located south of mainland China and has a subequatorial climate. There are more than 300 sunny days a year, and the water warms up to +28 °C by the beginning of April. In May, the water can be even warmer, but the air temperature also rises, and not everyone can tolerate the heat well.

The main resorts on the island are Sanya and Haikou. Here you can just swim, or you can go diving or sea fishing. On the island of Hainan there is a huge Nanshan Buddhist culture park, Bethel-Nat ethnic park, where tourists get acquainted with the culture of the local Li and Miao peoples, as well as many other attractions.

From Moscow to Hainan Island can only be reached with a transfer: the flight will take from 14 to 28 hours.

Cuba

Thanks to the peculiarities of the Cuban climate, there is neither autumn nor spring on the island – only winter and summer. April is the last month before the onset of the hot, humid season, and many tourists prefer to come to Cuba in April. The water on the coast near Havana, Varadero and Santiago de Cuba warms up at this time to + 25-27 ° C.

The wind intensifies closer to the onset of May, which cannot but please fans of surfing and paragliding. Beach holidays can be interspersed with acquaintance with numerous architectural sights and visits to national parks, for example, the famous Sierra Maestra Park.

From Moscow to Cuba you can fly without transfers in about 12-13 hours.

Morocco

Morocco is a country located in northwestern Africa. The beach season here begins in June, but if you are interested not so much in swimming as kiting, windsurfing and other similar activities, pay attention to Dakhla. The city is located on a narrow peninsula, forming a long narrow bay, well protected from ocean waves.

The water temperature in the bay in April-May usually does not rise above +19°C, but there is a good even wind here, which attracts those who are fond of water sports. The main attractions of Dakhla are the fortress and the cathedral, built by the Spanish colonists who founded this city in the 16th century.

A direct flight from Moscow to Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, takes approximately 6.5 hours.

A cool vacation by the sea can be organized not only in summer. Discover new vacation destinations and start sharing your impressions on social networks before others – “Unlimited Internet Abroad” will help you.

COVID 19. Information of interest. » Turismo Lanzarote

(Updated on June 17th, 2022 – Latest news: www.hellocanaryisland.com)

In Lanzarote, we work intensely every day to ensure you can visit us in top conditions of safety, hygiene and quality. At present over 84% of our population is vaccinated against COVID-19 (above the average for Europe).

If you’re having a holiday in the islands soon, here is some information that will be of interest to you.

Before travelling to Lanzarote

Here you can consult the different prior steps that are needed, depending on where you come from and your chosen accommodation, for you to travel to the Canary Islands.

FAQs and matters of interest

Is the mask mandatory in the Canary Islands?

The mask is only mandatory for people over 6 years old who access to health centers, pharmacies and public transport.

No, but you may be asked for one when you reach your destination. We recommend you always check the requirements and recommendations in your country of origin.

Of course. There are top-level health facilities in the Canary Islands. Your accommodation will tell you the nearest place where you can get a certified diagnostic test. In any case, we will provide a list of the approved centres in the Canary Islands where you can take the test.

At the moment, daily connections allow you to easily get from one island to any other, either by plane or by boat. You can travel between the islands with airlines Binter and Canaryfly or shipping lines Fred Olsen, Armas, Biosfera Express and Líneas Romero.

Travel in Covid-19 Times – My Trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain

In September I’ve been on a trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands of Spain.

After self-isolation in Llandudno, North Wales for three months due to coronavirus, COVID-19, I was ready to travel again once it was safe to do so.

On Monday 6th of July, the Welsh Government lifted the 5-mile stay local rule, and I could finally travel outside of my local community again.

At this point, I would like to highlight that everything mentioned within this blog post is based on my personal experience, and you should seek government advice from the correct sources.

The reason why I mention this is because the rules are changing all the time and I wanted to share how my trip went to help paint a picture of what your trip could be like so you can make an informed opinion on if you should travel at the moment.

Why did I choose Lanzarote in the Canary Islands?

At my time of flying, Spain was on the list of countries you could fly to from the UK without the need to isolate for two weeks after returning from your trip.

Of course, this could change, but this was one of the reasons why I choose Spain.

I didn’t fancy flying to a Spanish city due to crowds, but Lanzarote in the the Canary Islands has direct flights from the UK and felt like a better option due to the current situation.

Plus the sound of the stunning volcanic landscape, hiking trails, sunny sandy beaches and locally sourced food all tempted me to visit the island of Lanzarote. It was just what I was looking for after being at home for so long.

With my bags packed and passport in hand (don’t forget your passport, it’s been a while!) I was ready to travel and explore the Canary Islands.

Around Lanzarote, not all businesses were open for tourism as visitor numbers are still operating on low capacity.

However, businesses are slowly opening up again for tourism, and many restaurants, visitor attractions, rental cars and a select number of resorts were open for visitors on the island.

You should book travel insurance

Please make sure you arrange suitable travel insurance for your trip before you depart. Some travel insurance providers have changed their policy to adapt to coronavirus COVID-19 so please read the small print and make sure that you have a cover.

Proper guidance is to check the FCO website for up to date travel advice for UK travellers, and typically your travel insurance will follow along the lines of the FCO. So, if the FCO says not to travel, then your travel insurance usually is not valid, so please check the FCO website frequently for the latest travel advice.

Also, for those within the EU, make sure that your E111 card is up to date before you depart. For those within the UK, you can still travel and use your E111 card until the end of December. Remember that the E111 doesn’t replace travel insurance, but it’s good to have it with you at all times when travelling around the EU, especially at the moment.

Do you have to wear a mask in Spain at all times?

Do you have to wear a mask all the time? This was a question I had before travelling to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.

Of course, this advice will differ from other countries in Europe. But in Spain and on the Canary Islands, the simple answer is yes. You do have to wear your mask at all times.

After gathering some local advice, wearing a mask is not only to protect yourself from spreading germs but as a courtesy to protecting others.

Any situation where you’re unable to keep your social distance is when you should wear your mask in Spain.

This would be any place where social distancing is challenging, such as within shops, restaurants and public transport.

You can remove your mask when you sit down to eat or have a drink. You can withdraw your face cover while on the beach or when going for a swim in Spain, as long as you can keep your social distance.

Within your hotel room or rental car, you can remove your mask. If you’re going to the hotel breakfast buffet, you should wear your face mask.

I hope the above information clears up some questions you might have.

What is it like to fly at the moment?

It was a bizarre feeling only seeing five flights on the departure board of Heathrow terminal 5, usually the busiest airport in Europe. It did come as a shock.

Heathrow felt like a ghost town with limited passenger numbers flying on the day.

Throughout Heathrow, you will have to wear a facemask at all times from the entrance until you’ve exited at your arrival destination. It’s advised to swap your face mask every few hours, so you should pack a selection to use throughout your travels.

My temperature was checked as I entered Heathrow airport and I found hand sanitizer located all around the airport.

Check-in was rather swift, and many airlines are allowing free baggage check-in to free up space in the cabin, which is worth taking advantage of.

Security has never felt so fast; it was a swift experience and didn’t take much time at all.

Once airside, in regard to places to eat, I could only find one Pret open, which was enough to grab a coffee and a bite to eat before the flight.

Most airlines are not allowing food and drink service at the moment.

I did notice that a passenger requested a cup of water which was allowed but generally, nothing will be served on the flight unless you’re travelling business.

At the boarding gate, passengers were boarding individually based on row numbers, starting from the back of the aircraft towards the front.

At the check-in desk, the staff said to allow an extra hour due to additional boarding time. Be patient as it will take more time to board the flight, but you could always book your seat at the back if you wish to board sooner.

Once on the flight, cabin crew informed us that the aircraft used an advanced air flow filtration system that kills most germs. This, combined with a face mask and limited contact, helps to reduce the risk.

Once I was at my seat, I noticed that the airline had used empty seats to keep travellers at a safe distance from each other as best as they could.

They also blocked off and limited access to the number of toilets you could use. You can still use them but not as many so you might have to wait.

Generally, I found the flying experience rather relaxing and pleasant, indeed longer than usual, but the additional steps gave me reassurance rather than worry.

I wouldn’t want to take a flight with a connection due to the extra time it takes to board and go through the airport, but one direct flight wouldn’t be an issue.

What was your resort like in Lanzarote?

I stayed at the Sands Beach resort located in Costa Teguise on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.

They had self-catering options for families with a large selection of swimming pools to choose from, which was great for social distance swimming.

Swimming is one of the things I missed the most, so it was a much-welcomed joy to have a few laps in the pool each morning.

The breakfast buffet was open, and you had to order each item individually. This will take some additional time, so be sure to arrive early to allow your choices to be accommodated.

I would visit the local supermarket and stock up on breakfast items to make in your room so you can relax in the morning and take the stress out of breakfast.

Not all resorts are open yet in Lanzarote, and some have chosen to stay closed until September so your choices will be limited.

The Sands Beach Resort chose to open early to learn about the extra steps needed to open up. The Spanish government have issued rules that resorts must follow to remain open to meet the health guidelines and create a safe environment for guests.

Another issue is staff. The resort is running at low capacity and it’s been tough getting the team back to work as some have chosen to wait until it’s safer to return to work while others are happy to get back to work again.

Rooms are required to undergo additional cleaning after each guest which is why I would recommend staying for 1-2 weeks.

Also, the stock has been an issue as the supply chain for resorts has not been open on the island since lockdown and resorts are having to use supermarkets to purchase items they need to operate.

It will take some time for resorts to open up again but those that have chosen to open up as soon as possible will learn from the experience and adapt to the guidelines, which will take time for some resorts to adjust to.

What is it like going to a restaurant?

After cooking for myself for three months, I’ve simply run out of hot pot recipes and I’m also getting a bit bored of baking banana bread.

Being allowed to visit restaurants again and not have to do the washing up was one of the most enjoyable moments from the trip.

Getting to taste the local flavours again was an absolute pleasure. Enjoying fresh seafood and a glass of white wine that’s made on the island was pure joy.

If you wish to dine out, it’s best to call in advance to book a table as space within the premise is limited due to schedules and social distance.

I noticed that temperature checks took place before entering the restaurant, and hand sanitizer was always found at the entrance.

You must wear a facemask until you have taken a seat at your table, then you can take it off to enjoy your food and drink.

Also, I noticed that the menu could typically be found by using a QR code to access on your smartphone. Make sure you have your Roam Like at Home data turned on while travelling around the EU as it will come in handy.

If you can pay for your meal by using contactless payment, this would be the best method rather than using cash.

Do you need to fill out forms before you travel?

Spain requires you to fill in a health form before you arrive. Once the form is completed online, you will get a QR code which will be scanned on arrival. You must be checked into your flight and have your seat number before you fill out the form. This information helps with track and trace, and you will be contacted if needed.

Also, when returning to the UK, you must fill in a form explaining where you’ve been and where you will be going to in the UK.

After filling in the UK form and placing my address in Wales where I will be, I instantly got an email from the Welsh government asking me to quarantine and stay at home for two weeks. I was not aware that the rules in Wales required two weeks quarantine, but not a problem as I have been home for the past two weeks and will follow the guidelines as instructed. Something to think about as I was also aware that those from Scotland had been advised not to travel to Spain altogether. So, the rules are different depending on where you live.

Did I enjoy my trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands?

The most important question. Did I have a great time going to Lanzarote? Were all the extra steps worth it?

My answer is for the most part yes. I do have mixed opinions about it though, as I enjoyed the trip, but travel is no longer normal like it used to be and some fun has been sucked out the experience.

But I do understand that this is for my own and others’ safety to allow tourism to open up again so I would say that it was worth it.

My issue was the length of the trip; I wish I could have stayed longer to justify the extra time you need to go through all the additional safety steps.

So, If I were staying in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands for two weeks, I would have said that it was worth it.

My advice at the moment to make travel safer during COVID-19

I would recommend only taking one direct flight to reach your destination. Avoid having to take connection flights as this increases your risk of a possible infection.

Stay in one resort and try to find a self-catering option so you can prepare breakfast and lunch from your room as buffets are not a safe environment at the moment.

Book ahead to reserve your table if you wish to dine out at a local restaurant.

Book a rental car to explore your surroundings and avoid public transport.

Use contactless payment and avoid cash when possible.

Stay for 1-2 weeks. Travel to your destination will take more time so you should allocate this time into your holiday to make it more rewarding.

Don’t forget to relax and enjoy your holiday. You will have to go through many additional steps to make your holiday safe so please have patience, remain calm and take your time.

For this reason, a weekend city escape might not be ideal at the moment as you won’t have enough time to enjoy the actual holiday.

Thank you for reading my blog post about my trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands

I hope all the above information helps you understand what travel and tourism are currently like in Europe at this moment in time, and I wish you a pleasant future trip!

This blog post was put together in collaboration with the UNWTO and the Canary Islands as part of the #RestartTourism campaign to help tourism recovery on the islands. I hope you’ve found this blog post informative.

Travel Advice

Coronavirus travel health

Check the latest information on risk from COVID-19 for Spain on the TravelHealthPro website.

See the TravelHealthPro website for further advice on travel abroad and reducing spread of respiratory viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entry and borders

See Entry requirements to find out what you will need to do when you arrive in Spain and for details on Spain’s current entry requirements and restrictions.

Be prepared for your plans to change

No travel is risk-free during COVID-19. Countries may further restrict travel or bring in new rules at short notice, for example due to a new COVID-19 variant. Check with your travel company or airline for any transport changes which may delay your journey home.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you may need to stay where you are until you test negative. You may also need to seek treatment there.

Plan ahead and make sure you:

can access money

understand what your insurance will cover

can make arrangements to extend your stay and be away for longer than planned

Travel in Spain

You should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect yourself and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus.

Some public health measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 remain in force across Spain and may vary between regions. See Use of face masks and Public spaces and services for further information.

Regional governments retain legal powers to ease or tighten restrictions within their region if deemed necessary to control the spread of the virus (e.g. partial lockdowns; limiting the capacity and opening hours of retail, hospitality establishments and public events, COVID passports).

Local and regional restrictions may be introduced at short notice. You should consult regional incidence levels, refer to the advice of local authorities in your destination and ensure you are aware of the specific measures in place prior to travel.

Public spaces and services

Rules may vary between regions. You should refer to local and regional authorities for advice.

You should continue to observe the following rules regardless of your whereabouts in Spain:

obligatory use of face masks on public transport, in pharmacies, medical centres and care homes (see Use of facemasks)

abide by any safety measures put in place by establishments such as hotels, bars, shops and restaurants to reduce the risk of COVID-19 such as social distancing and other public safety precautions

wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and use hand sanitizer gel where soap and water is not available

Proof of vaccination

Spain will accept the UK’s COVID-19 vaccination record. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Use of face masks

The use of face coverings is mandatory for anyone over the age of 6 years if you are in the following situations:

on any form of public transport in Spain

visiting a hospital or medical centre (including other healthcare settings such as dentists, opticians, pharmacies etc.)

visiting a care or nursing home

Face masks must cover the nose and mouth.

In addition to the mandatory use of face masks in the above situations, the Spanish government recommends you use them responsibly in the following circumstances:

enclosed public spaces such as shops, cinemas, bars and restaurants

at large events (e.g. concerts, sporting events)

when in the company of people considered clinically vulnerable or high-risk and social distancing of 1. 5m cannot be observed

at family gatherings

in any other enclosed communal spaces open to the public

Those with respiratory problems or those unable to wear a mask due to other health conditions or disabilities are exempt. More details are available from the Ministry for Health (in Spanish).

Healthcare in Spain

For contact details for English speaking doctors visit our list of healthcare providers.

For information regarding access to healthcare in Spain see healthcare for UK nationals visiting Spain.

Find out more from the NHS website about EHIC and GHIC healthcare cover abroad.

Your emotional and mental wellbeing is important. Read guidance on how to look after your mental wellbeing and mental health

View Health for further details on healthcare in Spain.

Developing symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 in Spain

If you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during your stay in Spain, you are not required to self-isolate but you should inform direct contacts and take the following extra precautionary measures for 10 days from diagnosis or from when symptoms began:

wear a mask

reduce social interactions and avoid crowded spaces & large events

avoid contact with people at high risk (including older people, people with health conditions and pregnant women)

Hotels and other accommodation providers may have their own COVID-19 protocols in place. You should abide by any safety measures put in place by your accommodation provider. Your accommodation provider may have a list of private doctors that they can call to assess your symptoms and conduct a COVID-19 test.

Remember that an EHIC or GHIC covers state healthcare only, not private treatment. You will be responsible for the cost of any treatment provided by a private doctor or hospital. Rapid lateral flow tests (‘pruebas de antígenos’) are widely available in pharmacies in Spain for a fee.

If your symptoms persist or get worse, you should call your regional hotline. Most of the regional hotlines listed have English speaking staff. Some regions offer alternative helpline numbers for those calling from non-Spanish mobile phones:

Andalusia: Tel. +34 955 545 060

Balearic Islands: Tel. +34 971 211 991

Canary Islands: Tel. +34 928 301012 for Gran Canaria province or +34 922 470012 for Santa Cruz de Tenerife province

Catalonia: Tel. +34 933 039 944

You should follow the advice of the local authorities at all times.

In any emergency, call 112.

Finance

For information on financial support you can access whilst abroad, visit our financial assistance guidance.

For more information from the Spanish authorities, see the Spanish Ministry of Health website or their official Twitter channel.

If you need urgent consular assistance, contact your nearest British embassy, high commission or consulate. All telephone numbers are available 24/7.

Political situation

You should follow the advice of police and local authorities regarding demonstrations in Spain.

There have been large gatherings of people and demonstrations in some parts of Barcelona and other areas of the Catalonia region in relation to political developments there. Some demonstrations have become violent, with protesters causing damage to property and disruption to transport. Further gatherings and demonstrations may take place and demonstrations intended to be peaceful can escalate and turn confrontational. If you’re in an area where demonstrations are taking place, you should remain vigilant, follow the advice of local authorities and move away quickly to a safe place if there are signs of disorder.

Crime

Most visits to Spain are trouble-free, but you should be alert to the existence of street crime, especially thieves using distraction techniques. Thieves often work in teams of two or more people and tend to target money and passports. Don’t carry all your valuables in one place, and remember to keep a photocopy or scanned copy of your passport somewhere safe.

Take extra care to guard passports, money and personal belongings when collecting or checking in luggage at the airport, and while arranging car hire.

In some city centres and resorts, thieves posing as police officers may approach tourists and ask to see their wallets for identification purposes. If this happens to you, establish that the officers are genuine and if necessary show some other form of ID. Genuine police officers don’t ask to see wallets or purses.

Personal attacks, including sexual assaults, are rare but they do occur, and are often carried out by other British nationals. Be alert to the possible use of ‘date rape’ and other drugs including ‘GHB’ and liquid ecstasy. Buy your own drinks and keep sight of them at all times to make sure they aren’t spiked. Alcohol and drugs can make you less vigilant, less in control and less aware of your environment. If you drink, know your limit – remember that drinks served in bars are often stronger than those in the UK. Avoid splitting up from your friends, and don’t go off with people you don’t know. Check the TravelAware ‘Stick with your mates’ campaign for more helpful tips and advice.

Make sure your accommodation has adequate security measures in place and lock all doors and windows at night or when you aren’t in. If you’re a tourist and are concerned about the security of your accommodation, speak to your tour operator or the property owner. Make sure you know the contact details of the local emergency services and the location of the nearest police station.

Vehicle crime

Be aware of ‘highway pirates’ who target foreign-registered and hire cars, especially those towing caravans. Some will (forcefully) try to make you stop, claiming there is something wrong with your car or that you have damaged theirs. If you decide to stop to check the condition of your/their vehicle, stop in a public area with lights like a service station, and be extremely wary of anyone offering help.

When driving, be wary of approaches by bogus police officers in plain clothes travelling in unmarked cars. In all traffic-related matters, police officers will be in uniform, and all police officers, including those in plain clothes, carry official ID. Unmarked police vehicles have a flashing electronic sign on the rear window which reads Policía (Police) or Guardia Civil (Civil Guard), and normally have blue flashing lights. Genuine police officers will only ask you to show them your documents and will not ask for your bag or wallet/purse.

Reporting crime

In any emergency, call 112.

To report a crime, including stolen property and lost or stolen passports, visit the nearest Policia Nacional, regional police (Ertzaintza in the Basque Country, Mossos d’Esquadra in Catalonia, and Policia Foral in Navarre) or Guardia Civil Station to file a police report (denuncia). Some Spanish cities also offer a ‘Foreign Tourist Assistance Service (SATE – Servicio de Atención al Turista Extranjero) run by the Town Hall and National Police where foreign tourists can report crimes in a variety of languages, including English.

While in Spain, you can also call a dedicated English-speaking police line on +34 90 210 2112 from 9am – 9pm 7 days a week, or file a police report online for minor offences such as bag or car theft.

Be aware that violent crime or sexual assault must be reported in person at the nearest police station. If you’ve had belongings stolen, you’ll need to keep the police report for insurance purposes.

If your passport is lost or stolen, you’ll also need the report to apply for an emergency travel document from the nearest British Consulate and to apply for a replacement passport when you return to the UK.

Falls from height

There have been a number of very serious accidents (some fatal) as a result of falls from height, including balconies. Many of these incidents have involved British nationals and have had a devastating impact on those involved and their loved ones. Don’t take unnecessary risks around balconies or other high places, particularly if you’re under the influence of drink or drugs. In some regions you may be evicted from your hotel if you are found to be behaving irresponsibly.

You should familiarise yourself with the layout of your hotel and accommodation block when you arrive. Always follow the safety advice of your hotel and/or tour operator if staying in a room with a balcony and watch out for friends who may be at risk.

Some local councils will impose fines to those caught behaving irresponsibly on balconies. Your travel insurance may not cover you for incidents that take place on a balcony or if you were under the influence of drink or drugs when it happened.

Festivals and concerts

Be aware of local laws and customs, and take extra care of your valuables if attending a festival or large concert. See our festival travel checklist for more advice.

Outdoor activities

Take care when swimming in the sea. Some beaches, especially around Spanish Islands, may have strong undercurrents. Most of them have a flag system. Before swimming, make sure you understand the system and follow any warnings (a red flag means you mustn’t enter the water). You should take extra care if there are no lifeguards, flags or signs. Follow local advice if jellyfish are present.

You should avoid swimming at beaches that are close to rivers. Don’t dive into unknown water as hidden rocks or shallow depths can cause serious injury or death.

Take care when walking along unmanned beaches close to the water’s edge as some waves can be of an unpredictable size and come in further than expected with strong undertows. Further tips can be found on ABTA’s swim safe pages.

Temperatures in some parts of Spain can change very quickly. Take extra care when planning a hike or walk to check local weather reports for warnings of extreme heat or cold temperatures.

If an accident occurs whilst mountaineering, canoeing, potholing or climbing, or if you become lost in the mountains or other areas requiring mountain rescue, call 112 for the emergency services or 062 for the Civil Guard.

For advice on safety and weather conditions for skiing or other outdoor activities call the Spanish National Tourist Office in London on 020 7317 2028 or see the European Avalanche Warning Services.

The Catalonia region has started billing negligent climbers, skiers and other adventurers who have to be rescued.

Road travel

In 2020 there were 1,366 road deaths in Spain (source: Department for Transport. This equates to 2.9 road deaths per 100,000 population and compares to the UK average of 2.3 road deaths per 100,000 of population in 2020.

If you are planning to drive in Spain, see information on Driving Abroad.

Licences and documentation

To drive a car or a motorcycle over 125cc in Spain you must be 18 years of age or above, and at least 16 years old to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc. You must carry a valid driving licence, proof of insurance and proof of identity at all times.

If you are visiting Spain, you can drive on your full, valid, UK driving licence (provisional licences are not valid for driving in Spain).

If you’re living in Spain, check the Living in Guide for information on requirements for residents.

If you are using UK insurance, always carry your certificate with you in case you are stopped. This certificate is generally only valid for a stay of less than 3 months – contact your insurer if you’re staying longer.

Driving a British car abroad

You may need a UK sticker to drive your car outside the UK. From 28 September 2021 UK stickers have replaced GB stickers. Check the GOV.UK Displaying number plates website for more information on what to do if you are driving outside the UK.

Driving regulations

Driving is on the right. Driving rules and customs are different from those in the UK.

You must carry two red warning triangles which, in the event of an accident or breakdown, should be placed in front of and behind the vehicle at least 50 metres away from the vehicle. You must have a spare wheel and the tools to change it. If at any time you have to leave your vehicle due to an accident or breakdown or while waiting for the arrival of the emergency services, you must wear a reflective vest or you may face a heavy fine.

Spain has strict drink driving laws. Police regularly carry out roadside checks for alcohol and drugs. Penalties include heavy fines, loss of licence and imprisonment.

Police can impose on-the-spot fines for a variety of driving offences including exceeding the speed limit. Should you choose to accept the fine and pay within 20 days, it will be reduced by 50%. More information on how to pay is available on the Spanish driving agency website.

Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers in the front and back seats. Children under the age of 12 or under 1.35m in height are required by law to use an approved child safety seat and must be positioned in the back seat. Children are only permitted to travel in the front seat of the car if the rear seats are already occupied by other children or if the vehicle does not have rear seats. Car hire agencies can provide child seats, so let them know you need one when you reserve the car. Incorrect installation of a child seat or not wearing a seat belt can be considered a serious offence and met with heavy fines.

Motorcyclists (including drivers of mopeds and quads) must wear an approved safety helmet and other protective clothing. Not wearing one is considered a serious offence and can result in a fine.

Talking on a mobile phone when driving is forbidden, even if you have pulled over to the side of the road. You must be completely away from the road. Using an earpiece is also prohibited but you’re allowed to use a mobile phone with a completely hands-free unit.

See the European Commission, AA and RAC guides for more information on driving in Spain.

Vehicle restrictions

Some cities in Spain have introduced emergency anti-pollution protocols to limit exhaust emissions when air pollution levels are high. When activated, vehicle access is restricted and speed limits are imposed. Follow the instructions of the local authorities.

Madrid and Barcelona operate permanent low emission zones which require all vehicles (including foreign registrations) to meet specific exhaust emission standards in order to be granted entry. Vehicles that comply will be issued an eco-sticker (‘distintivo ambiental’) or equivalent from the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT) which determines its ability to circulate and park in the zone. Access requirements vary and foreign number plated vehicles may be required to register or accredit their exhaust emissions with the local authorities prior to accessing the zone. Unregistered vehicles who do not meet emission standards will be issued a penalty notice. If your hotel or accommodation is located in a low emission zone, check which access provisions are available to guests (i.e. car park, one-day passes etc.).

See the MadridCentral and Barcelona Ring Roads Low Emission Zone websites for further information.

Taxis

Only use officially registered or licensed taxis, or reputable transport companies you recognise. Licensing regulations differ across Spain and in certain cities pre-booking is required.

Passengers caught using unlicensed taxi services are liable for fines of up to 600€. Make sure you book your taxi or airport transfer through a licensed firm.

Timeshare and holiday clubs

Timeshare ownership is well established in Spain with many respected companies, agents and resorts operating legally and fairly. However, there are also many unscrupulous companies, some of which claim to provide various incentives, which don’t always materialise.

You may find it useful to read the timeshare fraud advice from Action Fraud, the UK’s national fraud reporting centre, run by the National Fraud Authority.

Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Spain.

UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe abroad and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out more about the global threat from terrorism.

Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. The Spanish authorities take measures to protect visitors, but you should be vigilant and follow the instructions of the local authorities.

On 17-18 August 2017, there were 2 terrorist-related incidents where vehicles were driven directly at pedestrians, resulting in injuries and loss of life. These were in the Las Ramblas area of Barcelona and Cambrils, near Salou (100km southwest of Barcelona).

The Basque terrorist organisation ETA’s last major attack was in 2006 and it hasn’t mounted any attacks since 2009. In May 2018 it announced it was “disbanding”. British nationals have not been a target of ETA terrorism.

Spanish police have disrupted a number of groups suspected of recruiting individuals to travel to Syria and Iraq from 2015 to the present date. Some of them expressed an intention to carry out attacks in Europe.

There’s a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.

This page has information on travelling to Spain.

This page reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British Citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

proof of having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’.

If you are travelling from the UK to Spain, you are no longer required to complete the health control form prior to travel nor do you need to show the corresponding QR code on arrival. This applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year

If you’re travelling to Spain for tourism purposes and have recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, you can use the UK proof of COVID-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service to certify your COVID-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test and must include the following information:

your full name

the date you first tested positive for COVID-19

the type of test administered (e. g. COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test)

the name of the country issuing the recovery record or certificate

documentary proof of the diagnostic test from which the Recovery Certificate is derived

Exemptions

There are no exemptions to Spain’s entry requirements.

Children and young people

Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to:

complete an online Health Control Form before travel

show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain

take diagnostic tests prior to arrival

show proof of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months

For travellers aged 12 to 17, see the sections above for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

If you’re transiting through Spain

(This section also covers travelling overland to Spain.)

If you are transiting Spain by air from the UK on the way to your final destination you are not subject to testing requirements, provided your transit is under 24 hours and you are not leaving the international zone of the airport. If you are leaving the airport, documentation requirements set out in ‘All travellers’ apply. See Spain’s Ministry of Health travel pages for more detail. You should check with your travel operator and the authorities at your final destination if a negative test is required on entry.

Spain’s land borders are open. While testing requirements do not apply to overland travellers, you should consult travel advice for any countries you are traveling through at the links below:

Check your passport and travel documents before you travel

Passport validity

If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be:

issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)

valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

Visas

You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.

If you are travelling to Spain and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Spanish government’s entry requirements. You should check with the Spanish consulate in the UK prior to travel regarding what type of visa and/or work permit you may need.

If you are travelling to Spain for work, read the guidance on visas and permits.

If you are unable to return to the UK before the expiry of your visa/permit or visa-free limit due to C-19 restrictions, you should contact your local immigration office (Extranjería) for advice. You can also call 060 from a Spanish phone line.

If you are visiting Spain and need to extend your visa-free stay for exceptional reasons, such as a medical emergency, you must apply to the immigration authorities (Extranjería) to do so.

If you stay in Spain with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Passport stamping

Check your passport is stamped if you enter or exit the Schengen area through Spain as a visitor.

Border guards will use passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area. If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit.

You can show evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area, and ask the border guards to add this date and location in your passport. Examples of acceptable evidence include boarding passes and tickets.

E-gates

You should use the desks staffed by border officers. If you are aged 18 and over, and airport staff instruct you to do this, you may be able to use e-gates, if these are operating.

If you use an e-gate, make sure you get your passport stamped by a border officer.

Additional documents required by tourists

UK nationals entering the Schengen zone as tourists may need to provide additional documents at the border. As well as a valid return or onward ticket, it is possible that travellers to Spain may also be asked to:

show you have enough money for your stay. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior (in Spanish).

show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (e. g. second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family. The Spanish government has clarified that the “carta de invitation” is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family. More information is available from the Spanish Ministry of Interior.

Residents of Spain

If you are resident in Spain your passport should not be stamped. Read our Living in Spain guide for passport stamping information.

You should proactively show your proof of residence – such as the ‘TIE’ (la tarjeta de identidad de extranjero) – as well as your valid passport at Spanish border control. For further information, see our Living in Spain guide.

Travel between Spain and Gibraltar

Spanish border checks can cause delays when crossing between Spain and Gibraltar. If you are travelling to Spain via Gibraltar, check the latest entry requirements and FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar. Entry requirements and testing requirements are currently in force for travel into Spain.

There is no charge to enter or leave Gibraltar. You should not hand over money if you’re approached by anyone claiming that there is a charge.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK ETDs are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Spain.

Taking food and drink into Spain

You cannot take meat, milk or products containing them into EU countries. There are some exceptions for medical reasons, for example certain amounts of powdered infant milk, infant food, or pet food required for medical reasons. Check the rules about taking food and drink into the EU on the European Commission website.

Unaccompanied minors

Spanish law defines anyone under 18 to be a minor. Any unaccompanied minors that come to the attention of the Spanish authorities (for whatever reason, but particularly in connection with criminal incidents or when in hospital) are judged to be vulnerable and may be taken into a minors centre until a parent or guardian can be found.

Providing ID

You must provide photo ID if requested by a police officer. This includes the Guardia Civil and national, regional and local police forces. The police have the right to hold you at a police station until your identity is confirmed.

Ignoring direct requests or challenging a police officer may be viewed as ‘disobedience’, which is a criminal offence.

Hotels have a legal duty to register the passport details of tourists on check-in. Wait until the hotel staff have registered your passport details or taken a photocopy of your passport. Don’t leave it at reception to collect later.

Drugs and alcohol

Possession of even a small quantity of drugs can lead to arrest and detention. Possession of large quantities will probably result in prosecution and a prison sentence if convicted.

Some local councils in Spain have banned the consumption of alcohol in the street and on-the-spot fines may be issued. There are strict controls on drinking and sexual activity in public places, including beaches.

Restrictions on sale of alcohol in the Balearic Islands

Legislation introduced by the regional government in the Balearic Islands, covering designated areas within the resorts of Magaluf (Calvià) and Playa de Palma on the island of Mallorca, and San Antonio (San Antoni de Portmany) on the island of Ibiza, places limits on the sale and availability of alcohol.

In designated areas of the resorts, there are prohibitions on happy hours, open bars (such as all you can drink in 1-hour offers), the sale of alcohol from vending machines, self-service alcohol dispensers and the organising of pub-crawls and party boat trips. The law also prohibits “off-licence” sales between 9:30pm and 8am.

In addition, hotels and other establishments are obliged to evict clients found to be behaving dangerously on balconies, with fines for both the client and the establishment.

Irregular commercial parties in villas and private homes

There have been a number of serious accidents involving people attending irregular commercially promoted parties in villas and private homes on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca.

Licensed clubs and bars are required to meet safety and security standards, including emergency exits and capacity limits, and to have trained, licensed security staff. Irregular commercial parties may not meet these standards. You should take care of your belongings, ensure you know where emergency exits are located and not take unnecessary risks.

Heavy fines may be imposed by local authorities to anyone attending irregular commercial parties.

LGBT travellers

Spain is a tolerant and progressive place for LGBT travellers. There are active LGBT communities and social venues, particularly in big cities. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Spain since 2005. As of 17 March 2007, the law allows a transgender person to register under their preferred sex in public documents such as birth certificates, identity cards and passports without undergoing prior gender reassignment surgery. Spain does not recognise a third gender. See our information and advice page for the LGBT community before you travel.

Dress

In some parts of Spain it’s against the law to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts/trunks. Being bare-chested has also been banned in some areas of Spain. Some local councils will impose fines if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or the adjacent streets.

For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain don’t allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside.

If you have a health condition, or you are pregnant, you may need specialist healthcare abroad. Check whether your destination country can provide the healthcare you may need and ensure you have appropriate travel insurance for unexpected medical evacuation or local treatment.

See the Coronavirus travel health and Healthcare sections in the Coronavirus page for COVID-19 health information.

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) on the TravelHealthPro website. Each country-specific page has information on vaccine recommendations, any current health risks or outbreaks, and factsheets with information on staying healthy abroad. Guidance is also available from NHS (Scotland) on the FitForTravel website.

General information on travel vaccinations and a travel health checklist is available on the NHS website. You may then wish to contact your health adviser or pharmacy for advice on other preventive measures and managing any pre-existing medical conditions while you’re abroad.

The legal status and regulation of some medicines prescribed or purchased in the UK can be different in other countries. If you’re travelling with prescription or over-the-counter medicine, read this guidance from NaTHNaC on best practice when travelling with medicines. For further information on the legal status of a specific medicine, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate
of the country or territory you’re travelling to.

While travel can be enjoyable, it can sometimes be challenging. There are clear links between mental and physical health, so looking after yourself during travel and when abroad is important. Information on travelling with mental health conditions is available in our guidance page. Further information is also available from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC). Specific information on mental health support for British nationals in Spain can also be found on GOV.UK.

Healthcare

If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip, dial 112 and ask for an ambulance.

You should get a free UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before leaving the UK. If you already have an EHIC it will still be valid as long as it remains in date.

The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to state provided medical treatment that may become necessary during your trip. Any treatment provided is on the same terms as Spanish nationals. If you don’t have your GHIC or EHIC with you or you’ve lost it, you can call the NHS Overseas Healthcare Team on +44 191 218 1999 to get a Provisional Replacement Certificate.

It’s important to take out appropriate travel insurance for your needs. A GHIC or EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance and you should have both before you travel. It does not cover all health-related costs, for example, medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment and non-urgent treatment. Read more about what your travel insurance should cover.

As a general rule, if you need hospital treatment in Spain you’re more likely to receive appropriate care in a public healthcare facility (although in some tourist areas there may be no public healthcare facility nearby). Your insurance/medical assistance company will be able to provide further details. Some hotels may call private doctors or ambulances to take patients to private hospitals; the GHIC or EHIC won’t be accepted there. For more information, visit Healthcare for UK nationals living in Spain.

If you’re living in Spain, you can also find more information on healthcare for residents in the Living In Spain guide.

Flooding

Flash flooding can occur resulting in damage to property, infrastructure and travel disruption. Check weather warnings from Spain’s meteorological office (AEMET) before travel and follow the advice of the local authorities.

Forest fires

Forest fires occur frequently in Spain (including Spanish islands) during the summer months, when temperatures regularly reach over 40ºC. Take care when visiting or driving through woodland areas.

Causing a forest fire is considered a criminal offence in Spain even if unintentional. Make sure cigarette ends are properly extinguished, don’t light barbecues and don’t leave empty bottles behind. There are strict regulations across much of Spain against lighting outdoor barbecues in forest areas and penalties imposed include heavy fines. Some regions prohibit the use of outdoor barbecues in public picnic areas during the summer months.

Check on the outbreak of fires with the local civil protection authority and report any you see immediately to the emergency services on 112.

The currency in Spain is the Euro.

When changing money, you should always use official money exchange offices or banks, as possession and use of counterfeit money is considered a very serious crime in Spain and may lead to prosecution.

When buying goods in Spain with credit or debit cards, you may need to show ID. You may be able to use a driving licence or a photocopy of your passport, but you may be required to show your original passport.

If you’re abroad and you need emergency help from the UK government, contact the nearest British embassy, consulate or high commission. If you need urgent help because something has happened to a friend or relative abroad, contact the FCDO in London on 020 7008 5000 (24 hours).

Foreign travel checklist

Read our foreign travel checklist to help you plan for your trip abroad and stay safe while you’re there.

Travel safety

The FCDO travel advice helps you make your own decisions about foreign travel. Your safety is our main concern, but we can’t provide tailored advice for individual trips. If you’re concerned about whether or not it’s safe for you to travel, you should read the travel advice for the country or territory you’re travelling to, together with information from other sources you’ve identified, before making your own decision on whether to travel. Only you can decide whether it’s safe for you to travel.

When we judge the level of risk to British nationals in a particular place has become unacceptably high, we’ll state on the travel advice page for that country or territory that we advise against all or all but essential travel. Read more about how the FCDO assesses and categorises risk in foreign travel advice.

Our crisis overseas page suggests additional things you can do before and during foreign travel to help you stay safe.

Refunds and cancellations

If you wish to cancel or change a holiday that you’ve booked, you should contact your travel company. The question of refunds and cancellations is a matter for you and your travel company. Travel companies make their own decisions about whether or not to offer customers a refund. Many of them use our travel advice to help them reach these decisions, but we do not instruct travel companies on when they can or can’t offer a refund to their customers.

For more information about your rights if you wish to cancel a holiday, visit the Citizen’s Advice Bureau website. For help resolving problems with a flight booking, visit the website of the Civil Aviation Authority. For questions about travel insurance, contact your insurance provider and if you’re not happy with their response, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Registering your travel details with us

We’re no longer asking people to register with us before travel. Our foreign travel checklist and crisis overseas page suggest things you can do before and during foreign travel to plan your trip and stay safe.

Previous versions of FCDO travel advice

If you’re looking for a previous version of the FCDO travel advice, visit the National Archives website. Versions prior to 2 September 2020 will be archived as FCO travel advice. If you can’t find the page you’re looking for there, send the Travel Advice team a request.

Further help

If you’re a British national and you have a question about travelling abroad that isn’t covered in our foreign travel advice or elsewhere on GOV.UK, you can submit an enquiry, or contact us on Twitter or Facebook. We’re not able to provide tailored advice for specific trips.’

Prior to travel

The Federal Foreign Office points out that in view of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, there are still risks associated with international travel, especially for people without full vaccination protection as well as vulnerable groups. Regulations on entry or international transport connections can change quickly with the pandemic situation.

The so-called 3G rule for entry into Germany has been suspended until the end of September 2022. Since 1 June, people entering Germany no longer have to prove that they have been vaccinated, have recovered or have been tested.
As regards air travel, masks must generally be worn on all flights if mask-wearing is compulsory in either the country of departure or the country of destination. The implementation is enforced by the operating airline and may therefore vary. Travellers are advised to carry at least one mask with them at all times. For information on mask mandates, please see the respective category.

Entry requirements

Entry into Spain is generally permitted. The entry rules were further standardized on 7 April and will be in force at least until 15 June; international risk areas within the EU/EEA no longer exist.

Persons with an elevated temperature (over 37.5°C) or other health problems will be subject to further examination. Entry through the borders of France, Portugal, and Morocco (Ceuta and Melilla since 17 May) are possible. Spanish ports are open to cruise ships. Autonomous regions are authorized to issue separate registration requirements for destinations within their regions.

Ferry services between Morocco and Spain have resumed. There are new calls at Tangier Med and Tangier City on the Moroccan side and Algeciras and Tarifa on the Spanish side.

It is necessary to check on the online portal, 48h prior to travel, whether the generation of a QR code for entry is still necessary. According to media reports, the presentation of the EU’s Digital COVID Certificate is normally sufficient.

There are no known restrictions.

Transit and onward travel from all EU and Schengen-associated states is permitted, no proofs need to be shown.

If COVID-19 symptoms are present, health checks can be carried out.

One week in Lanzarote – THETRAVELBLOG.at

(Last Updated: April 2022). Are you wondering which Canary Island might be the right choice for you? Choose (at least) one week in Lanzarote if you’re up for: Rough and picturesque volcanic landscapes, minimalism & architecture, beautiful boutique hotels and culinary delights. Those are the best reasons to select Lanzarote over Gran Canaria and the other islands.

The volcanic landscapes are one of the main reasons to visit Lanzarote.

Lanzarote has many advantages over the other Canary Islands. Gran Canaria is much more developed touristically and has some ugly architectural mishaps. Fuerteventura is lacking the choice of interesting hotels, that Lanzarote offers! And then of course there’s the iconic landscapes. If you love volcanoes this is the place to go!

This is as green as Lanzarote gets – palm trees and cacti grow here. But there’s no forests.

How to travel Lanzarote

Lanzarote isn’t a very big island (although the locals might ask you if you’re crazy, when you want to cross the whole island in one day). From one tip to the other it takes you about 1,5 hours of (comfortable) driving. We therefore recommend to rent a car (Price for one week: we paid around 200 Euros, excl. gas – prices might have increased due to Covid).

We recommend renting an SUV if you also want to drive a bit off-road to hidden coastal spots.

The dirt roads are exceptions though – the main roads on the island are in great shape!

Where to stay in Lanzarote

There’s basically two ways of enjoying the island to the maximum:

) You can stay close to the seaside and enjoy ocean views.
(Check our hotel review of La Isla Y El Mar Hotel)

) Or you can decide to stay central and enjoy remoteness and quaint landscapes.
(Check our hotel review of: Buenavista Country Suites Lanzarote)

We recommend to combine the two experiences!

Our room with ocean view at La Isla Y El Mar Hotel in Lanzarote.

Stay at the beach for a couple of days and enjoy a bit of ocean front relaxation and chilling at the pool. Then move to the vineyards of the “La Geria” region for a complete change of scenery. This will give you a taste of the original life of Lanzarote. With this combination you’ll get the maximum out of your one week in Lanzarote.

The 3 suites of Buenavista Country Suites Lanzarote are located in the middle of the volcanic landscapes.

What to do in Lanzarote

There’s a couple of things that you can do – even on an island that feels like it’s virtually made from volcanic sand and stones. We recommend a fair amount of coastal explorations and water sports – combined with tours of the interior of the island.

View over La Graciosa Island from the northern tip of Lanzarote

Our Top 5 experiences of Lanzarote

There’s a few classics, that draw most visitors to Lanzarote each year. Among the favourite activities are road biking and hiking. You’ll see a lot of people riding bikes on the streets over the rolling hills of Lanzarote. And then there’s various hiking paths around or on top of the countless volcanic cones. But there’s more to do – and these are our favourites:

Take a Sailing trip

Study the legacy of César Manrique

Explore the volcanic landscapes

A sunset over La Graciosa island

(Kite) Surfing at Famara Beach

1.) Take a Sailing trip on Lanzarote

Lanzarote (as it’s sister island Fuerteventura) is well known for the heavy winds. The island is covered in a constant stream of air. This might be annoying on a sandy hill, but it’s perfect for a day (or a couple of hours) of sailing. We took a two hour private sailing trip with Captain Manuel from “Sailing Tour Lanzarote”.

We paid 250 Euro for the 2 hour private excursion. The trip started from Puerto del Carmen and we spent most of the time sailing towards Isla de Lobos. In two hours you cannot really reach any other place, but sailing is mostly about spending time on the water anyhow 😉 If you take a longer trip (4 hours or more) you can even eat lunch on the boat or go snorkelling in one of the bays along the shoreline.

2. Study the legacy of César Manrique

It’s quite inspiring to learn how one person can change a whole island. The artist and architect César Manrique had a vision for Lanzarote. He wanted the island to be a pioneer in sustainable tourism. Therefore he started his foundation in the early 1980s and worked closely with the government to forbid developments of high rise hotel buildings and distracting billboard ads on the roads.

This restaurant building is one of the projects by César Manrique.

There’s a number of César Manrique projects that you can visit during your stay in Lanzarote. Basically you can choose between a couple of museums, his private home, restaurants, a cactus garden and many more. Either way we recommend to buy one of (or better both) combination tickets.

Combination ticket “César Manrique Foundation”:
This ticket costs 15 Euros and combines the famous Volcano House (a former private home of César, that was partially built into volcanic caves) and his last private home called “Palm Grove” in Haría (with all of his personal belongings and his studio still there basically untouched).

Volcano house

The Volcano House was home to Manrique for many years, before he transformed it into the foundation and it’s now a museum.

Palm Grove House: César Manrique House Museum in Haría

The César Manrique house in Haría is where he spent his last years.

This feels much more like his personal space, with all his private belongings still there untouched.
(Photography is only allowed in the exterior spaces).
Our personal tip:
We enjoyed the visit of both houses and definitely recommend the combination ticket. The house in Haría feels really personal and private and you even get a glimpse of his studio. The foundation on the other hand shows how well he incorporated architecture into the natural landscape of the island. Make sure to go late in the afternoon (or first thing in the morning) for some quiet during the visit!

While building the Volcano house Manrique discovered the volcanic caves and decided to use them as living space.

Combination ticket CACT Lanzarote:
The so called CACT (Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism of Lanzarote) unite 9 different “attractions” and you can buy different combination tickets. We decided for a 6-centre ticket for 33 Euros and ended up visiting these 5 places: The Jardín de Cactus, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Montañas del Fuego and the Mirador del Río. The ticket is valid for 14 days, so you don’t have to visit everything in one day.

Jameos del Agua

The Jameos del Agua are located close the coastline. Our personal highlight: You have to get out of your shoes and wade through water to enter the building.

Jardín de Cactus

The “Jardín de Cactus” features hundreds of different cacti species and you will be tempted to touch them all. Be warned: This is quite overrun by tourists, better come early morning or late in the afternoon!

Cueva de los Verdes

The cave system was our least favourite of all César Manrique projects. Why? You can only enter with a guided tour together with approx. 30-40 other visitors. This makes it less calming and spiritual then his other buildings. Other than that it’s worth a trip as you’ll get to cool off as well 😉

Mirador del Río

The Mirador del Río features some stunning vistas of La Graciosa island. But: You can also get those views without paying the entrance fee (find out more below under item 4)! We still believe it’s worth the visit for the architecture.

3. Explore the volcanic landscapes

One of the most common ways to visit the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote is to take a bus tour at the Montañas del Fuego (located within Timanfaya National Park). Unfortunately, this tour is not accessible for private cars. You can only visit the National Park with your own car, but won’t be able to access all the roads (actually you can only take the one road that leads up to the El Diablo restaurant).

As we are not big fans of bus tours with dozens of other tourists we decided for a private trip. The road up to the top of the hill where the restaurant is located takes around 5 minutes and isn’t too spectacular. Also there’s no way to park your car alongside the road to take a walk around. Basically you pay the entrance fee for “Las Montañas del Fuego” (9 euros without the combination ticket!) to drive to a restaurant. Up there we got lucky as there was a bus tour that had just arrived. This way we at least got to see the show, which consists of a display of the heat and power of the (still active) volcano.

The guides at El Diablo set a ball of straw on fire, by simply pushing it down a hole in the ground. And then there’s pipes in the ground, that evaporate water into a fountain of steam within a second. It’s quite impressive to get a sense of the power of the heat in the underground, but don’t expect more than a 3 minute show.

We recommend that you take the road to the western, coastal part of Timanfaya National Park towards “Playa de la Madera”. Here you don’t have to pay any entrance fee and enjoy scenic views of the landscape. Plus you can hike alongside the coast through volcanic stone (that actually feels and even sounds more like black glass scattered all everywhere on the ground).

The volcanic cones of Timanfaya National Park in the background – as seen from Playa de la Madera.

We recommend a hike alongside the coastline of Playa de la Madera at sunset.

4. A sunset over La Graciosa island

The Northern part of Lanzarote is part of the Unesco Biosphere Park and protected for it’s landscape and wildlife. Therefore you won’t find any bigger cities or hotels up in the North. Most visitors of Lanzarote come to the North for the “Mirador Del Rio” – the famous lookout platform and restaurant built by César Manrique. But you don’t have to pay the entrance fee to get an amazing view!

You can see neighbouring La Graciosa island from the Northern tip of Lanzarote. But not just from the official Mirador!

Unfortunately El Mirador is quite overrun by tourists and also closes before sunset. Therefore we decided to spend the sunset just about 300 meters South of the Mirador Del Río at the cliffs. Here you can park your car next to the street and enjoy the views of La Graciosa island while the sun sets. If you’re lucky you’ll also have clouds rolling in over the edge of the cliff – which is quite a spectacle.

The cliffs south of Mirador del Rio – clouds are rolling in (you can spot our car in the distance).

When the sun sets you’ll get some magnificent views of La Graciosa island.

Our personal tip:
Bring a picnic and enjoy it up there (as there’s no really good restaurants in the nearer vicinity – see our blogpost with vegetarian restaurant tips for Lanzarote).

5. (Kite) Surfing at Famara Beach

Famara Beach is famous for it’s wind and ideal surfing conditions. This long and wide stretch of beach is not so popular amongst swimmers and families because of it’s higher waves and zero sun or wind protection. So either you want to go surfing (or kite surfing) yourself, or you prefer watching them at sunset. But don’t go here for a day of beach relaxation – there are calmer beaches in the southern part of Lanzarote (Playa de Papagayo, Playa Mujeres, Playa del Pozo, etc. ).

The road to Famara Beach is already stunning!

We spent two evenings and sunsets at Famara Beach, because of it’s incredible views and spectacular mountainous scenery.

Surfers and Kite surfers love Famara beach, but it’s not ideal for swimmers!

If you’re into architecture definitely check out the apartment buildings at Famara Beach!

Other tips for Lanzarote

What else is there to do? You can visit one of the many vineyards of La Geria and discover how the grapes are grown in these arid conditions. (Of course you can also attend a wine tasting!).

The vineyards of La Geria in Lanzarote – as seen from above.

We also recommend to visit the ceramic studios at Teseguite to understand more about the local craftmanship and design background (and maybe bring a true artisanal souvenir home with you).

The “Atelier + Ceramica” studio in Teseguite is run by lovely artistic couple.

If you’re into camping, then you might want to check out the small path off the coastal road at Caleta de las Aulagas. Here you’ll find a small cove that is perfect for a night or two of “wild” camping.

Restaurant tips for Lanzarote

We compiled a list of our favourite restaurants in Lanzarote, which also offer vegetarian options. It’s a bit of a challenge to find vegetarian food, but there are some options everywhere (think potatoes and mojo, a green or red sauce). Other than that Canarian cuisine centers a lot around meat dishes.

Our favourite restaurant in Lanzarote: El Chupadero.

Lanzarote vs. the rest of the Canary Islands

These were all our tips for one week on Lanzarote. If you’re still considering which Canary island to choose, then let us explain a few of the key differences.

If you prefer hiking in the woods, whale watching or watching stars on the clearest night sky of Europe you might want to consider going to Tenerife instead (read our blogpost about what to do in Tenerife if you just answered this question with yes).

Tenerife’s El Teide is the highest mountain in Spain and one of the main reasons why people visit Tenerife.

Fuerteventura on the other hand is even drier than Lanzarote, you’ll hardly spot any green on this island. It’s a hot spot for surfers and therefore offers a lot of hip cafés with vegan food. The downside of Fuerteventura is that there’s really no beautiful hotels. Yes, you’ll find a few large all inclusive resorts and some small bed and breakfast, but there’s no exciting boutique hotel or yoga stay. Most visitors flock to Fuerteventura in their camping vans or rent homes for a longer stay. Lanzarote is better equipped in the hotel department for sure!

When compared to Lanzarote Fuerteventura is even more dry – and has one disadvantage: no nice hotels!

Excursion to the island of Lanzarote – Alexander Alexandrov

Individual excursion to the island of Lanzarote will be accompanied by a guide along a unique route created especially for you. Directly from your hotel in Las Americas, in a comfortable car, you will head to the port, from where, on a modern ferry, cutting through the waves of the Atlantic, you will sail to the atmospheric and truly impressive “fire-breathing island” of Lanzarote.

Landscape of Lanzarote

There is no other place like it in the world: most of the island is covered with lava and volcanic ash, through which sparse vegetation breaks through. This happened as a result of the eruption of 30 volcanoes at once, which occurred in 1730 and lasted for 6 years. During the excursion to Lanzarote you will see the Martian landscapes of the volcano park, visit the world’s largest lava cave and acid volcanic lake. After that, you will be amazed by the contrast of the white beaches of the south of the island and the cities with colonial architecture. You can taste the malvasia created on volcanic land, find the lucky olivine stone in the black sands and visit the most beautiful village in Spain.

Journey to the “island of fire-breathing mountains”

This is how Lanzarote is called, where there are about 300 volcanoes, many of which are still active, although they have been dormant since the first half of the century before last. The most impressive place in the Canary archipelago, and one of the main attractions of Spain, is the Timanfaya Volcanic Park. This is the epicenter of a six-year earthquake, where magma still boils underground: at a depth of only 15 m from the surface, the temperature is 350 degrees.

Timanfaya Volcanic Park

You will not find such landscapes anywhere else on the planet: they are truly extraterrestrial, not without reason many fantastic films about space and other civilizations were filmed here. Black frozen flows and heaps of lava coexist with cones and hills painted in reddish, brown, green hues – the photos taken here seem simply unreal. During the tour of the park, you will have the opportunity to dine at the Devil’s Restaurant, where all dishes are cooked in volcanic heat. You will witness a real show: a bunch of straw thrown into a funnel deeply dug in the ground in a couple of seconds will light up with a bright flame! And when they start extinguishing it, a high column of steam will burst out of the funnel – a clear confirmation that the volcano continues to live under your feet.

Natural attractions of Lanzarote

Another unique attraction of Lanzarote is the Cueva de los Verdes volcanic cave, the largest in the world, going to a depth of 6 km. It arose about 4,000 years ago, when another volcanic eruption released magma flows that burned their way to the sea, forming bizarre underground halls along the way. Scientists have found household items of pre-Columbian aborigines here, and pirates hid stolen gold in underground galleries. Who knows, maybe some of it is still here?

Cueva de los Verdes Volcanic Cave

Lake Charco de los Clicos is also worth a visit, famous for its acid green water. It was formed as a result of an eruption, and over time it took the form of an amphitheater, framed by a multi-colored mosaic of stones. An unforgettable landscape is created thanks to the contrast of the yellow-green water of the lake, the black volcanic sand and the deep blue waves of the Atlantic: once seen, it is impossible to forget.

Lake Charco de los Clicos

The lake is located in the town of El Golfo, where the best fish restaurants in Lanzarote are located, where not only tourists but also locals gather. Fishermen clean their catch right on the stones of the beach, in the black sand of which you can find the lucky stone olivine, which looks like greenish glass. If you don’t want to go searching, you can look at pretty jewelry made from this stone in local souvenir shops. Another great souvenir from Lanzarote is wine, the famous Malvasia, the grapes of which are grown on the local volcanic soil, rich in trace elements, which gives it a unique taste.

Historical and cultural Lanzarote

Lanzarote has something to boast about in terms of man-made monuments. Fans of cognitive and historical excursions should continue their acquaintance with the island in its capital, the city of Arrecife, founded in the 14th century. Here you will see the 18th century Fort San Jose, which protected the entrance to the port from pirates. Today it contains a collection of works by the famous native of the island, Cesar Manrique, a friend of Picasso, as well as a huge exposition of abstract art from the middle of the last century.

Fort San JosePort Arrecife

The name of Cesar Manrique is legendary here: he devoted his whole life to improving his small homeland. For example, he designed the resort of Costa Teguise, where today one of the residences of the King of Spain is located. This stylized fishing village hosts a weekly fair, and if you’re lucky enough to be here in February, you’ll witness a colorful carnival. Cesar Manrique also created an amazing observation deck located at the northernmost point of Lanzarote. Immediately from several open and closed terraces you will see a stunning view of the Chinijo archipelago. And in the observation tower created by Cesar, there is a restaurant with a panoramic glass wall, where you can drink a glass of wine or a cup of coffee.

Chinijo Archipelago

Continue exploring Lanzarote’s history in the city of Teguise, founded in 1418. Be sure to stroll along its narrow streets with amazingly well-preserved colonial-style houses, visit the Spinola Palace and one of the oldest churches in the Canaries, Nuestra Señora de Guadelupe. During a walk around the city, the guide will tell you about the love of the princess of the natives and the colonizer, tell the story of Bloody Street and the fortress towering on the mountain, in which Saint Barbara, the patroness of the island, was martyred.
During a tour of Lanzarote, you can also visit the most beautiful village in Spain – this is the honorary title of the atmospheric village of Yaiza, whose snow-white houses and streets full of flowers sparkle against the background of the cobalt blue of the Atlantic. On the way, you can stop by the noisiest and busiest resort of Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen, or respectable Puerto Calero, where you can visit the yacht port or dive to the seabed in a submarine.
If you are traveling with children, an excursion to the island of Lanzarote can be complemented by a trip to the Dolphin and Whale Park, where a funny performance of marine animals awaits the kids. With interest and benefit, you can spend time in the Cactus Park or the Rancho Texas Zoological Garden. Well, if you are planning an excursion here for a few days, you can go to the local water park or one of the white sand beaches.

A private excursion to Lanzarote from Tenerife is an excellent choice for those who want to see unique landscapes that cannot be found anywhere else on earth. Thanks to the accompaniment of a guide, during the trip you will get to know the culture, history and traditions of the Canary Islands, the rest of which will sparkle with new colors after that.

What to see in volcanic, beautiful Lanzarote

Travel to Lanzarote

for a holiday on the strangest Canarian island, Lanzarote is the right destination, with its land created and transformed by volcanic eruptions, with its caves and its beaches. On this page we present some of the most fascinating destinations on Lanzarote’s destiny, which is also organized for tourism, as much as looking like a beautiful natural park.

Lanzarote Beach

First of all, Lanzarote, as well as by plane, is easily accessible in half an hour from fuerteventura: it is therefore very convenient to split a week of travel between these two islands. To explore the diversity of landscapes of Lanzarote well and be free in the travel itinerary, I recommend renting a car, which you can search and book through this link . Lanzarote is a lot about fifty kilometers away, so there is no need to change accommodation to visit it all. From Lanzarote you can also get to the neighboring island of La Graciosa, beautiful and quiet.

What to see in Lanzarote

Here we are on the main Destinations to see Lanzarote, with all the most interesting activities to do on holiday in this beautiful island.
Let’s start with the interior of Lanzarote, because it is a special and shocking land, with hundreds of craters and long stretches of approved magma. The main visit is that of the Timanfaya National Park, which contains some of the main and most impressive craters.

Timanfaya Park
Unfortunately, here in Timanfaya you notice that Lanzarote is an incredible natural park that has been made a lot of a tourist site. Taimanfaya is actually only visited with a bus ride (cost: 12 euros) or with a short tour in Dromedario.

I didn’t try the second one, but the bus ride is rather disappointing as you are locked inside the bus; Even the photos are ugly, except for the car park where at least you can stretch your legs!

>
Strange stones in Lanzarote
On the other hand, outside the park are other craters that can be visited on foot. Three trekking routes in the interior are recommended and independently feasible (very easy if you have the MAPS.ME app):
– La Caldera Blanca and Caldereta, which leads to the top of the panoramic crater;
– El Cuervo, which brings lava land and then enters the crater;
– Mount Colorado, which leads to a turned volcano.

Always staying inside Lanzarote, it is very interesting to note that many dry walls were built on the island’s black earth to protect a few plants from the wind, especially the screws that grow on the ground.
CUEVA LOS VERDES.
Always inland, two long caves are impressive: Cueva de Los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. Like other natural wonders on the island, they are enriched by the intervention of artists, including the famous Cesar Manrique, who treated him in special light.
Mirador Del Rio, to the north, allows you to admire one breathtaking panorama of Graciosa Island; This Mirador is very touristy and for a fee, but really just climb the wall to admire the same view volume for free.
Mirador del Rio
I usually don’t recommend illegalities, but in this case I consider it comes up as a moral duty because charging the panorama from the hill seems over the top. Lanzarote is exaggerated by tourists, but that doesn’t mean that Mirador de Rio is something truly spectacular!

Also keep in mind that a multiple ticket allows you to see the sights of Lanzarote like Cueva de los Verdes, Jameos del Agua, Mirador de Rio and Timanfaya Park.
Green Lake or Charco de los flicks
There are many other interesting destinations on the coasts of Lanzarote. Green Lake or Charco de Los Click in Spanish, close to the pleasant sea of El Persian Gulf, is a strange colored lagoon that the black beach separates from the ocean waves.
Playa Famara is a very long beach, highly valued by surfers and kite surfers. The city of Arrieta allows you to dine in panoramic restaurants on the ocean.
Rent
The south coast has some impressive beaches accessible by dirt road by car and can be visited along the coastal path allowing you to take in the great views. In particular, the route to Playa Mujeres in Playa de Papagayo is short and highly recommended! The panoramas are towering and the perfect beaches for sunbathing or bathing.
Playa Papagayo.
Lanzarote has a special charm: for some it is the most beautiful island of the Canarians, others, including me, find it too touristy and blullé in relation to the greenest and most diverse islands such as Tenerife or La Palma. It remains a great place to visit for a holiday dedicated to the incredible scenery and beaches. The famous Playa de Papagayo in particular is one of the most impressive canaries to take a bath.

Visit Mars: a trip to the island of Lanzarote

Hello, my name is Anna, I love to find the unusual in the ordinary, and I will talk on the Aviasales.ru blog about places and events that are quite easy to get to, but which are not yet objects of mass tourism.

My first story about the island of Lanzarote.

This place is ideal for people who are tired of the white and gray monotony of the Russian winter, and for those who are fed up with the bright colors of exotic islands. This is another planet, lost on the border of Europe and Africa. This is Lanzarote.

Tourists who came to the island with a day trip from the neighboring island of Tenerife, Lanzarote may seem lifeless and inhospitable. This is a place that needs to be allowed to open up like an expensive wine.

Getting to this part of the world is not as easy as Tenerife, which is popular among Russian tourists. But a person who seeks will always find an opportunity, since aviasales.ru offers many options to plan your flights in the most convenient way. Be prepared for the fact that you will have to make at least one transfer (Madrid is the most common connection point), but will this stop a real traveler?

By the way, if you choose to travel with a well-known European air discounter, do not forget that seats will not be indicated on the boarding tickets, seats are occupied in the order of the general queue, so experienced travelers line up in front of the gate in advance. But we did not know this trick, so we sat above the wing, and did not have the opportunity to admire the beauties from the air.

Lanzarote is the most unusual volcanic island in the Canary archipelago. It was formed after the breakup of the African and South American tectonic plates. In ancient times, the island was an important link in trade, maintaining links between the Old and New Worlds; it has repeatedly become a target for pirate raids. In the 18th century, it suffered greatly from a volcanic eruption that lasted more than two thousand days – as a result of this natural disaster, the surviving people left the island for almost a century.

The modern appearance of the island is associated with the name of its native Cesar Manrique, an artist who was lucky to realize his talent by actually painting the island, emphasizing the beauty of the fantastic landscapes of Lanzarote.

If this name does not mean anything to you, then visit the BMW Museum in Munich, where one of his masterpieces is located, in a form that is quite unexpected even for connoisseurs of modern art.

The colors of Lanzarote are predominantly black and red. When you drive around the island far from populated areas, it seems that you are moving on the surface of Mars – there is a volcanic desert around, no breeze, no tree. And just standing on the shore, you can feel the hot wind of Africa blowing in your face, which is only 150 km from Lanzarote.

The first impression of Lanzarote was exactly like this – the gray sky hanging over the lifeless landscape, and only bright white houses testify to the presence of man.

We lived right on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There was a lot of wood in the interior of the hotel – African flavor made itself felt. As elsewhere in the Canaries, Lanzarote does not get hot, so at night it is quite possible to sleep with an open window and listen to the waves hitting the shore. Unfortunately, there was no beach nearby, or rather, there was one, but I had to go into the water along the volcanic rock, because of this, I hurt my leg on the first day, and I had to urgently look for some other option.

In general, Lanzarote is not an island for the lazy. In almost any case, you will have to move quite a lot, on your own or by car. This rule applies to both visiting local attractions and beaches. So if you came to Lanzarote in order to take a break from urban city life, then choose a hotel as close as possible to the beach, or be prepared for hiking. However, even the last ones on this island are a real pleasure, the sea air cannot leave indifferent even the last of the inhabitants of megacities. So…

We get in the car, turn on Radio Timanfaya (with a characteristic Spanish rolling “r”), and go …

One of the main attractions of the island is the beaches of Papagayo. This is a whole system of sandy beaches, you can choose to your liking – jump in the waves, or vice versa relax in calm water. Water, however, the usual Atlantic – usually invigorates. The nearest settlement to the beaches of Papagayo is Playa Blanca, from there you can walk to the legendary beaches, however, let it take about an hour. Or you can drive by car, the entrance fee is 3 euros. There is no infrastructure on the beaches – no sun loungers, no lifeguards, no cafes, but they are good for this naturalness.

The next must-see destination in Lanzarote is the Timanfaya National Park, which bears the name of an active volcano. This nature reserve was formed as a result of the most terrible volcanic eruption in the 18th century. There are several hiking trails in Timanfay, but the bus route is more popular. If you come to the park by car, you will need to leave it in the parking lot, and then transfer to the bus, which will take you through the most picturesque places, while the audio guide will sound in several languages the most dramatic moments from the memories of eyewitnesses of this natural disaster.

After the tour, you can not miss the tourist attraction – setting fire to grass and boiling water right on the volcano. And then you can go to the restaurant, where they serve dishes prepared on the volcano – meat and chicken.

By the way, don’t forget to take a picture at El Diablo, the symbol of Timanfaya Park.

You can also buy a small figurine with his image as a souvenir, this is just the case when, as folk wisdom says, the devil is not so terrible.

A somewhat lesser known attraction is the Mirador del Río viewpoint. From the height you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surroundings, including the nearby small island of Graciosa.

To be honest, I don’t remember how much the entrance to this lookout cost, but the fact that it was worth the money is absolutely certain.

And if the day of your visit is too windy, you can always take a cup of coffee (trust me, the Spaniards know a lot about this drink) and enjoy the beautiful views from a small glass restaurant. The feeling may not be so alive, but the magnificent view will not disappoint you in any case!

On Sunday, Teguise market becomes the center of life on the island. Teguise is the old capital of the island (not to be confused with Costa Teguise), a town with beautiful architecture. On Sunday, almost from the very entrance to the city there are people inviting for a euro and a half to leave the car in the parking lot. There are many cars, because visiting the market is an exciting event. They sell old things, African handicrafts, Canarian cosmetics, green stone jewelry – olivine. And it’s not at all expensive to buy and take home landscapes of Lanzarote painted in oils with you as a keepsake.

In addition to the picture, I bought a cream with Canarian aloe – it unexpectedly helps with burns caused by skin unaccustomed to the southern sun.

There is a life hack for the lazy: a branch of this market periodically operates on Playa Blanca (we saw an announcement in the hotel lobby, the British called for a joint visit to this event).

Another life hack: the Canary Islands are a tax-friendly zone, so much is cheaper there than on the continent. In particular, the aforementioned Britons are happy to bring cigarettes home. But lovers of shopping in Lanzarote can relax – there are no smart shops there.

And from Lanzarote you can bring special volcanic wine and alcoholic tincture with goat’s milk. Try it – you will not regret it, the taste is very unusual. The main thing is not to allow excess baggage – this is especially true with the same air discounters, known for their strict requirements in this regard.

In addition to the above, Lanzarote has a cactus park, a green (according to the color of the water) El Golfo bay and many other unusual things. Travel lovers are welcome!

, you will definitely enjoy Lanzarote. It’s easy to imagine what the Red Planet would look like if it were once colonized…

If you’re a fan of science-fiction, dreaming to visit the Red Planet, you will adore Lanzarote. It looks like Mars would look like if it was colonized one day. Extraterrestrial landscapes!

Lanzarote , one of Canary Islands , belongs to Spain , but there is little Spanish specificity, except, of course, the language. Landscapes are unlike any European landscapes: black and red volcanic rocks, hills and craters, lava fields and narrow ribbons of roads stretching through them. The nature of the island can hardly be called friendly; rather, the local villages are an example of how a person has adapted to hostile living conditions. There is practically no vegetation (except for the northern tip of the island), and an unrelenting wind walks over the hills and plains. Despite this, Lanzarote literally bewitches with its unusualness!

Lanzarote , one of the Canary Islands , is a Spanish territory but you can hardly believe it when you look around: the view is very unusual and doesn’t look like Europe at all. Black and red soil, hills and craters, lava fields with narrow roads traversing them here and there… The nature of the island isn’t friendly to humans: there’s almost no fat land, no vegetation; dry hot wind blows all the time and sun is burning in summer. Every village is an example of how a human being can adapt and survive in these difficult natural conditions. Anyway there’s a particular charm in the wildness of Lanzarote .

Lanzarote is a volcanic island, and its main attraction is Timanfaya Volcano Park , listed as a UNESCO heritage. This is a magnificent sight, which is completely spoiled by the organization of the visit: firstly, a large line of cars line up to the park, and secondly, access to the park is possible only in a sightseeing bus that makes a circle along one strictly defined route. It is forbidden to get off the bus, even when it makes a stop, so you can only shoot the landscape through the glass (rather dirty, by the way). Fortunately, the views inside the park are not very different from those hills and craters that are freely available around, so you can enjoy the spectacle without visiting the park.

Lanzarote is an island of volcanic origin. Its most famous attraction is the Timanfaya National Park, a park of volcanoes, situated in the area of the greatest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736. The place is incredible, but the organization of the visits really disappointed me: you are not allowed to walk in the park or use your own car, the trips are only possible in the touristic bus, which stops a few times but the passengers are not allowed to leave the bus and can only take photos through the glass (not perfectly clean) . Fortunately, the views in the park are quite similar with the views around the park, which you can enjoy alone and without limitations.

You can ride camels in the park, but this is a very short walk that covers a small part of the territory. For exotic lovers 🙂

Those who like exotic experiences can try a trip on the camels. The itinerary passes on the territory of the park but only covers its small part.

Who definitely should go to Lanzarote , so it’s surfers and bike rides! I belong to the first category, so upon arrival on the island I immediately went in search of surfer school . For beginners, the ideal place is Caleta de Famara Bay. There are small waves and a magnificent inspiring landscape. A car is needed to get to the bay, although some hotels offer transfer courses.

I cannot recommend any specific surf school , there are many of them in Caleta de Famara, and I did not see a big difference between them. It is worth clarifying how many people will be in the group – from my own experience I know that it is difficult for an instructor to reach more than five students, so you should think about the possibility of taking a personal coach for a couple of days – this can be more effective than a week of group classes. Board and overalls can be rented at the same school.

Lanzarote is definitely an ideal place for surfers . Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer, you can find a spot with the waves for you level. We surfed in Caleta de Famara, a huge bay with the sand beach, perfect for the less experienced or novice surfers. You need a car to get there, but some hotels propose day surf tours with a transfer.

There are many surf schools in the village and I can’t recommend a particular one. The most important thing is the number of persons in the group: it’s difficult for the coach to pay attention to more than five people, so if the group is bigger, the lesson turns to be less effective. You can consider a possibility to take a few private lessons instead. The board and the wet-suit can be rented directly at the school.

The most beautiful beaches are located in the southern part of the island, for example, beach Playa de Papagayo . Black rocks look very unusual! And from this beach you can enjoy amazing sunset view – you can admire the view in the sky every day, and every day the colors will be new …

The most beautiful beaches are situated in the south part of the island (they are not convenient for surfing though ). For example, Playa de Papagayo looks fantastic with its black rocks and crystal transparent water. And it’s also the best place to admire the sunset…

Separately, it is necessary to tell about winemaking at Lanzarote , in the town La Geria . In conditions when the dry hot wind literally dries up the soil (which is already scarce on the island), the inhabitants of Lanzarote found a way to grow grapes: a pit is dug under each vine, which is protected by a low stone wall on the windward side. This allows you to retain moisture and protect plants, and the landscape begins to resemble not a Martian, but a lunar landscape, dotted with craters. By the way, the wine is very good!

It was surprising to find good local wines on Lanzarote ! The vieneyards are situated in the area called La Geria and don’t look like vineyards at all:) In order to resolve a problem of extremely law waterfall, the local farmers plant the vine stocks in craters dug to around two meters in depth , protected by the halfmoon round stone walls made from the natural lava stones. This method of cultivation protects the vines against wind erosion. At harvest time all of the grapes must be hand picked – it is impossible to use any machines in this landscape with its thousands of craters and walls.

The northern part of the island is very different from the southern one. In the south (just where the volcano park is located) – no vegetation, lava fields and black rocks, and in the south – green hills and palm groves. This is caused by a major eruption, which at one time affected most of Lanzarote , but some sections survived.

The south of Lanzarote (where the Timanfaya Park is located) is poor in vegetation, but its north is rather green, with some palms and flowers. The contrast between two parts of such a small island is impressive!

The architecture of Lanzarote is uncomplicated but pretty: snow-white houses with colored windows and doors. They look very picturesque!

The architecture on Lanzarote is simple but nice: white houses with blue or green doors and windows. Look very picturesque!

Near Lanzarote is the tiny island of La Grasiosa, where you can take a day trip.

Close to Lanzarote there’s a tiny island La Gasiosa, a good destination for a day trip.

Lanzarote impressed and surprised me. There is some special atmosphere of freedom and freshness in this place – maybe it is the influence of the salty sea wind that blows on the island day and night? For lovers of sports, nature and outdoor activities Lanzarote is definitely recommended! And, of course, it is recommended for lovers of beautiful sunsets…

Lanzarote impressed and surprised me. It doesn’t resemble to any other place I’ve ever seen and there’s an incredible atmosphere of freedom on the island… For the surfers, nature lovers and bicycle fans this place is a must visit! As well as for the passionate sunset admirers…

Canary Islands & Madeira ››› faehren.net

The Canary Islands are of volcanic origin and are located a few kilometres west of Africa. Their contrasting landscapes and many naturally occurring landmarks make them a sought-after tourist destination. With this form of travel, you discover each of the islands, always have your floating hotel room with you and also have time to relax on board between the eventful excursion days.

On a holiday in the Canary Islands, diversity is clearly writ large. Due to the variety of different islands, a trip there will never be boring. A particularly attractive aspect is the mild temperatures all year round. While in Germany it gets uncomfortable between November and April, at this time, there are up to eight sunshine hours and approximately 20 degrees each day in the Canarian Islands. This is also the reason why ship trips to the Canarian Islands are offered almost during the whole year.

Each Canary Island has its own port. From this point, excursions are offered by the hour or for the whole day to explore each island and its great sights.

Best time to visit the Canary Islands

Generally speaking, the best time to visit the Canary Islands is between April and October, which is also considered the peak season. However, as this destination is warm all year round with temperatures between 20 and 23 degrees, you can easily take a trip to the islands even in the low season. In addition, the Canary Islands are ideal for making many excursions. The constant mild temperatures and the light wind provide a pleasant climate for the activities. When it comes to the question of the best time to travel, it’s easy to say 365 days a year.

Ports in the Canary Islands

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital of the island of Tenerife and also the berth for ferry boats. Within ten to fifteen minutes you are walking to the city centre and can therefore do without additional waiting time on land. If a shuttle bus is needed, it is free of charge in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. However, the footpath is nice and comfortable to walk, passing numerous bars, restaurants and small shops that invite you to stroll around. ››› Ferries to Tenerife

Funchal

Funchal’s harbour offers the arriving guests an impressive view to the capital of the island Madeira. The entire city stretches out before your eyes while you can see the lush green mountains in the background. Arriving in Funchal by boat means tangible anticipation of the exploration of the city ahead. You can even reach the city centre on foot in about 15 minutes, so you don’t have to rely on buses, transfers or a taxi. ››› Ferries to Madeira

Santa Cruz de La Palma

La Palma’s capital Santa Cruz is at the same time also a harbour city and thus accommodates the ship terminal. From the landing stage to the exit of the harbour there is a distance of about 700 metres, which can be covered by a free bus shuttle. The downside is that the bus takes about five minutes to cover this short distance – you’ll be much faster on foot. ››› Ferries to La Palma

Las Palmas

The Port Terminal Santa Catalina is located right in the centre of the capital of Gran Canaria and is situated in the port of Puerto de la Luz. Two cruise ships have space at this terminal. Right next door is the shopping centre Centro Comercial El Muelle, which additionally offers great practical benefits for all mooring guests. From the ship terminal to the city centre it is only a few hundred metres, which can easily be covered on foot. ››› Ferries to Gran Canaria

Puerto del Rosario

On the holiday island Fuerteventura you will find the mooring Muelle de Cruceros in the island capital Puerto del Rosario. After a ship has docked, the tourist information office located at the harbour is open for a few hours, where you can get enough brochures and information material. Taxis are also available to take you to the city centre. In the real sense, however, there is no need for a transfer, as you can easily reach the city centre on foot. ››› Ferries to Fuerteventura

Arrecife

The moorings Muelle de los Marmoles as well as Muelle de Cruceros are available in the town of Arrecife for guests wishing to visit Lanzarote. From these seats, bus shuttles to the city are offered for a small fee, unless a shore excursion including transfer is booked. Depending on your berth, you’ll be between one and a half and two and a half kilometres from the centre of Arrecife. ››› Ferries to Lanzarote

Casablanca

In Morocco, all shipping companies dock in the port of the city of Casablanca. However, there is no direct terminal there, so that the ships anchor in the very extensive industrial harbour. Since many do not trust themselves to travel in an Arab country on their own, it is recommended to book a shore excursion, which also includes the transfers ship – city – ship. Alternatively, you can reach the centre of Casablanca by taxi, bus, train, tram or on foot, although this is a bit of a hassle. ››› Ferries to Morocco

TOP 11 Destinations & Sights on the Canary Islands

El Teide National Park

The national park around the Pico del Teide, Spain’s highest mountain at 3718 metres, is best explored on a guided shore excursion. Alternatively, you can book a rental car at the port. With the cable car Teleférico del Teide you can even almost reach the summit and enjoy a unique view – in good clear weather up to the neighbouring islands of Tenerife. The National Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007, as it is biologically and volcanically unique in the world. A rare flora and fauna runs through the extensive area, which means that there is always something new to discover.

Siam Park

The Siam Park is considered Europe’s largest water and slide park and is located in the south of the island of Tenerife in the village of Costa Adeje. Numerous different types of slides characterise the park, as does the largest wave machine, which creates artificial waves up to four metres high in one of the pools. If you love fun and action, get off the boat and visit this park as a day trip. Especially for families with children it is perfect, but also young at heart as well as couples will experience their wet and merry wet in the Siam Park.

Jameos del Aqua

The Jameos del Aqua are lava cave passages, terraces and grottos created by lava flows during the volcanic eruption. The artist Cesar Manrique discovered this paradise and designed it so that tourists can visit these bizarre formations and attend them for cultural events. Underground caves and lakes formed in them create the possibility for extraordinary concerts with perfected acoustics. Cafés and dining options round out the Jameos del Aqua as a destination, delighting younger and older audiences alike with its rugged and unusual beauty of solidified lava flows.

Cueva de los Verdes

The Cueva de los Verdes is a lava cave located in the east of the island of Lanzarote and has become a tourist attraction. Since the cave is about seven kilometers long, it is considered the longest volcanic cave system in the world. Guided tours make it possible to visit. The underground hall offers occasional opportunities for small concerts with up to 300 visitors. The tours through the Cueva end at a freshwater lake that appears magnificently colourful when the light falls on it.

Jardin de Cactus

Cesar Manrique has truly left his mark on the whole of the Canary Islands and so the cactus garden Jardin de Cactus was also created by this artist. Built in an open quarry, almost 1500 species of cacti thrive here on an area of about 5000 square meters. Botany enthusiasts will get their money’s worth here. The design using small lava stones completes the reference to the islands of volcanic origin, while the stones also serve as a natural water reservoir for the plants.

Roque Nublo

Roque Nublo mountain is considered the landmark of the island of Gran Canaria and can be visited for great views or explored on a variety of hikes. The paths around the Roque Nublo are well developed and signposted, so that an ascent is also possible without additional orientation maps. Moreover, no special hiking boots are needed, the terrain is not that rough. The physical demands also do not exceed normal conditions. In order to intensively experience the nature surrounding the Roque as well as the small animals living there, the exploration on foot is the best.

Roque de los Muchachos

A visit to the viewpoint on the Roque de los Muchachos, a huge volcanic cone, is an absolute must when mooring on the island of La Palma. The scenery at the foot as well as the views from this height are guaranteed to give you goosebumps and will please even those with a fear of heights. In perfect weather with good visibility, the islands of El Hierro, La Gomera as well as Tenerife are visible.

Pyramids of Güimar

The pyramids of Güimar were discovered relatively late compared to other architectural finds worldwide, in 1991, by a researcher from Norway. To this day it is unclear by whom and why they were erected. The six rectangular terraces are made of lava rock from the Canary Islands and were built without mortar. The theory of the Norwegian explorer and discoverer of the pyramids is that the ancient Egyptians came to the Canary Islands in a ship made of papyrus and built these pyramids in Güimar. To strengthen this theory, he constructed such a ship from papyrus and sailed it across the Mediterranean. To illustrate this for visitors, a replica of the papyrus ship is on display in the museum next to the pyramids. Also adjacent is a small garden where you can admire rare plants.

Dunas de Maspalomas

Since 1987, the dunes of Maspalomas with their fine, yellow sand are considered as a nature reserve. You can especially enjoy the almost 400 hectare large area during an extended walk over the dunes. Its foothills are found in the wide sandy beach of Playa Maspalomas. From there you can also reach the associated lagoon with its many wild birds living there. Extraordinary photos and lasting impressions with the feeling of having been in the desert for a short time are the memories you take back on board your ship from this trip.

Barranco del Infierno

Barranco del Infierno means in German as much as “hell gorge”. If you can visit it, you can consider yourself lucky – only a maximum of 3000 people are allowed to pass this gorge on the island of Tenerife per day. Through archaeological findings we know today that already the aborigines of the Canary Islands lived in this impressive canyon and left their testimonies. Waterfalls, small lakes, rugged rock formations and unique flora and fauna await you in the gorge. Due to the visitor limitation, which serves the protection of the environment and nature, this excursion must be announced compellingly beforehand and your place must be reserved.

Timanfaya National Park

The Timanfaya National Park is a volcanic area of about 200 square meters. Amazingly, it occupies a quarter of the island of Lanzarote. The fabled Fire Mountains were created over the course of six years until 1736. They will inspire you because you can vividly imagine how the glowing lava flowed out of them back then. Even today, the earth in this place is warm to hot, which is really fascinating. In the adjacent restaurant you can enjoy chicken and rabbit from the lava earth grill. It does not require any artificially generated heat to cook the meat. Timanfaya Park is a must visit when you are in Lanzarote and will leave lasting impressions on you.

Questions & Answers about the Canary Islands Trip

Fred Olsen Express

Biosfera Express

Naviera Armas

Naviera Nortour

Trasmediterranea

Lineas Maritimas Romero

Depending on which of the Canary Islands is your destination, you have a variety of options to choose from.

What is the climate in the Canary Islands?

Due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream as well as the proximity to the equator, the Canary Islands have a mild climate all year round, with temperatures rarely falling below 20 degrees Celsius. The summer months between May/June and September are subtropically warm with many hours of sunshine. In the winter months the temperatures are in the pleasantly warm range, now and then a light wind blows from the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ocean is rather not suitable for bathing during the months November up to and including March, as then it cools down quite a lot. Snowfall in winter occurs exclusively at high altitudes on the individual islands.

What clothes should I take with me?

Be sure to pack a mixed wardrobe for a trip to the Canary Islands. The luggage should therefore not only consist of airy summer clothes, but also include socks, sturdy closed shoes, a thin scarf or shawl as well as light jackets, vests or cardigans. If you dress according to the onion principle, you won’t go wrong. On board, there is always a breeze in the outside areas of the ship, which is relatively cool in a T-shirt without a jacket, even when the sun is shining on deck. Added to this is the incalculable factor of air conditioning on board, with different rooms often being cooled to different degrees. So if you have something to cover up with, you’re always on the safe side.

Is a trip to the Canary Islands with a baby or toddler possible and recommended?

A trip to the Canary Islands with a baby or small children is not only possible, but also absolutely recommendable. Especially the family-friendly destinations of the Canary Islands offer space for every family size. You’ll also find attractive top deals to help families save as much as possible.

Which shore excursions are recommended in the Canary Islands?

On almost all islands panorama tours, jeep safaris or excursions to aloe vera and cactus plantations can be booked, which are highly recommended for land and nature enthusiasts. If you are travelling with children, be sure to visit Loro Parque and the large water parks. On Tenerife, a visit to the Timanfaya National Park is unmissable, while on Lanzarote you can’t miss the artistic installations of Cesar Manrique. What is also always worthwhile is an island tour in order to simply get an overall impression during the shore excursion.

Can I organise excursions on the Canary Islands myself?

The self-organization of excursions is easily possible in the Canarian Islands, as the communication on land is in English or even German and the moorings of the ships are very close to the centre of each mooring city. Local providers have interesting excursions on offer, so that no boredom arises. In addition, the prices are similar to the excursions that can be booked on board.

Is the swell around the Canary Islands very strong?

Basically, the swell around the Canarian Islands is not very strong, but of course it depends on the respective weather conditions. In the Atlantic, these can sometimes be more abrupt, but this can be managed well with travel chewing gum or natural remedies such as ginger. Only the crossing to Madeira, which is often included in the programme of a trip to the Canarian Islands, can have more swell and cause problems for sensitive stomachs. Travel sickness tablets are also available from reception on each ferry. In bad cases, the ship’s doctor is equipped with injections that quickly help against seasickness.

Do I need a passport or is an identity card sufficient for the Canary Islands trip?

A valid identity card or alternatively a valid passport is sufficient for entry to the Canary Islands. However, the latter is not mandatory, but rather to be considered as a substitute document. This applies in the event that, for example, the identity card had expired and a new one is not yet ready. These entry requirements apply to all Canary Islands; there are no deviations.

Children accompanied by their parents enter the country with a child passport. Underage children who are not accompanied by their legal guardians must have a written consent form from their parents or legal guardian.

The Canary Islands & Madeira

What antidote to months of cold and gloom could be better than to head south to three Canary Islands and Madeira for a spell of much needed warmth? We will stop at La Coruña on its promontory in Galicia and on the voyage back home we call in to Lisbon, one of Europe’s most beguiling capitals. We will be joined on board by some of our favourite musicians: the outstanding Piatti String Quartet, flautist Adam Walker, clarinettist Matthew Hunt, pianist Paul James and multi-award winning soprano Katherine Broderick.

La Coruña is a vibrant and colourful port, its harbour guarded by the Tower of Hercules, the oldest Roman lighthouse still in use. The old quarter is a maze of picturesque and narrow streets. Our first port of call in the Canary Islands is Santa Cruz, dominated by Mount Teide. We’ll see the striking concert hall designed by Calatrava on the city’s seafront. We’ll have the opportunity to visit Puerto de la Cruz to enjoy an optional excursion to include visits to a historic Canarian manor house and a wonderful orchid garden. We sail across to nearby Gran Canaria and visit Las Palmas where you will be able to walk to the historic old town tosee the cathedral and the Casa de Colón, visited by Christopher Columbus in 1492. In sharp contrast we will stop at the unspoiled island of La Palma which has glorious and rugged scenery. Our final island is Madeira, a paradise for plant lovers. We’ll be offering anoptional excursion to the renowned Blandy garden here. Our final call will be Lisbon on the banks of the majestic River Tagus and full of reminders about Portugal’s glorious history when it was the centre of a great empire.

NV Atlas ATL3 Atlantic Islands / Madeira – Canary Islands – Azores

Who wants to dare the great adventure of crossing the Atlantic is well equipped with the ATL3. The Atlantic islands – the archipelagos Madeira, Canaries, Azores and Cape Verde – are also described in detail in this atlas. If you want to go there, you may be drawn to the Caribbean. But the chart set is also ideal for trips to or from the previous island groups.

One of the most famous archipelagos are the Spanish Canaries. These are characterized by a diverse landscape, as not every island is the same as the other. For example, Lanzarote is known for its black lava rocks and beaches, while, in turn, Tenerife makes you think of Pico del Teide, the highest mountain in Spain. That can also be admired from the water. Those who appreciate the green will be happy in La Palma, the greenest island of the Canary Islands. Madeira, which lies north of the Canary Islands, is also worth a stopover. The smaller Portuguese archipelago is characterized by its mountainous landscape that even extends to the coast. The Azores further west to the open sea are also known for their diverse landscape, so there is one or more islands appealing to every taste. South of the Canary Islands are the Cape Verde Islands. This independent archipelago is not yet a tourist magnet and is also very varied, which is why a detour there is definitely worthwhile if you have enough time.

Thanks to the clear structure the skipper can quickly find approaches, harbours and anchorages and is informed of important navigational details that also appear in the NV Charts app. The chart series impresses with its optimal scales and balanced sheet cuts.

This chart set includes:

6 oversegers (incl. Atlantic Planning Chart)

13 Area Charts

28 Detailed Charts

Code for App

Digital Charts & Navigation Program

Navigation Notes in English

Tide Tables

Paper Port Plans & Digital

Meets legal requirements for up-to-date paper charts on board

NV Atlas chart format

NV Charts nautical charts are available in an outstandingly practical, handy atlas booklet format and thus offer many advantages over formats from other manufacturers. The nautical chart series have been designed by nautical experts and passionate water sports enthusiasts with the needs of recreational boating in mind.

The NV Atlas has a very flat staple binding in the middle, so that the course triangle can also be used there without any problems. This innovative development makes it possible to look up charts quickly and always have them in the best possible order at the same scale. The NV Atlas is delivered in a plastic cover protected against splash water. This modern nautical chart format is very popular on sailing boats as well as on motor yachts and is the preferred choice of many of our customers.

NV Charts navigation app

All NV Charts nautical charts also include an access code to the digital nautical charts in the NV Charts app and can thus be easily downloaded. The charts are valid for 365 days from activation and can be used for offline navigation with the NV Charts app on iOS, Android, PC and Mac or also in the web browser.

The NV Charts app is the ideal addition on mobile devices. With the app, you can already plan a detailed route at home and thus prepare for your journey in the best possible way in conjunction with the paper chart. The app is intuitive to use and, thanks to an identical map image, you can orientate yourself on paper and digitally in a matter of seconds. The most up-to-date information is essential to navigate safely on the water with your sailboat or motorboat.

With the NV Charts app, you now have the opportunity to become part of the chart community. You can mark harbours, anchorages and navigation warnings on the digital nautical chart and also add interesting places beyond navigation, such as restaurants, with pictures and comments and share your experiences with other users. In addition, the NV Charts app offers an automatic routing function, search and all navigation functions for GPS navigation with your phone or tablet. More information at: nvcharts.com/app

More PC navigation apps: NV Verlag / NV Charts nautical charts can also be used in many other nv.digital compatible PC navigation programs such as NV Chart Navigator or Open CPN.

Our recommendation

If you are heading for Europe we recommend ATL1 (towards Spain) or ATL2 (towards Portugal) for onward travel. If you are heading for America we can recommend our atlases for the Caribbean Bahamas Cuba or Florida. We will be happy to advise you on this and if required we can also put together a selection of our cruising guides for the Atlantic islands.

10 Offbeat Island Destinations In Europe Everyone Must Visit

Visiting mainland Europe is always exciting but the next time you’re planning to visit, try to find some time and visit some of the continent’s lesser-known islands for some of the best scenery and offbeat activities you can do on your trip. Having visited quite a lot of them on my travels, I am happy to suggest my top 10 islands I’v been to thus far across Europe. Here they are, in no particular order.

1. Sao Miguel

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

Sao Miguel is the centre of the Azores group of islands. Most visitors will likely make this island their base point to explore the remaining eight islands that make up Azores. Thankfully, there’s lots to see in Sao Miguel too if you’re pressed for time.
Volcanic lakes are the highlight here and a visit to Lagoa do Fogo and Lagoas de Sete Cidades are must-see attractions. Take time to see Furnas Lake and enjoy your lunch cooked in the underground volcanic rock in an au naturel setting and end your visit by plunging into the mineral rich waters of Terra Nostra.

2. Madeira

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

First things first, get your Cristiano Ronaldo fix at Madeira by visiting the museum shop dedicated to the island’s local boy. Then visit Pico Ruivo, the island’s highest mountain to breathe in some spectacular views. There are quite a few mountain viewpoints that all seem to agree on one thing – Madeira was made to be seen from high above.
End your day by trying Poncha, one of the strongest alcoholic drinks ever. Created by fishermen to keep them at sea for longer, my bartender was so confident of its potency he said, “You have three of these and you’ll start speaking Portuguese better than me!”

3. Pico

Pico had captured my imagination ever since I first read about it. From its indigenous wine culture that’s grown on volcanic sand to the peak of Pico that makes it Portugal’s highest mountain, there is lots to see and do in Pico. I missed climbing Pico because of a scheduling error but I explored the rest of the island and had loads of fun going from one interesting place to another. A definite must-add to any Azores itinerary in my opinion.

4. Gran Canaria

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

Gran Canaria is the big daddy of all the Canary islands. It might not be your port of call but there’s lots going on in this island to warrant a visit. Stay in capital Las Palmas to see the island’s ancient history and how it contributed to the discovery of the ‘New World’. Then head to Maspalomas for a day to see a quieter side of the island and then my favourite recommendation: visit Bodegas Los Berrazales, a wine and coffee farm that’s not to be missed.

5. Tenerife

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

From a poor banana-growing island half a century ago to the beating heart amongst all the Canary islands’, Tenerife’s rise has been as spectacular as its highest mountain El Teide, which also serves as Spain’s tallest mountain. Generally, Tenerife gets a bad rap because of rowdy tourists and its unchecked development across its beachfront. Elsewhere though, the pace of life is slower across much of the island. It is also much more enjoyable, especially if you stay away from its innumerable *playas* (beaches).

6. Lanzarote

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

This is my favourite Canary island and with good reason – it’s stark, full of volcanic ash and wonderfully undeveloped. For starters, almost a quarter of the island is covered by the Timinfaya National Park, a volcanic park from where you’re not allowed to even pick up rocks. The park is a must-visit just to see some true ‘hotspots’ where certified guides demonstrate just how hot the island is only a few metres from the surface. The other reason to love Lanzarote is Cesar Manrique, a local artist who’s abode is a live example of a James Bond villain’s lair and who’s tireless preservation has given shape to much of the island today.

7. Palma de Mallorca

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

Honestly, I didn’t know much about Mallorca before I went to its largest Balearic island – except for Rafael Nadal of course. And yet, Mallorca surprised me at every turn. I fell in love with Palma de Mallorca’s charming old quarter, its impressive cathedral, beautifully preserves cuevas and excursions to places like Soller and Manacor. For those of you stuck in the 90s and thinking of visiting Ibiza, I’d suggest Mallorca instead.

8. Isle of Man

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

Remote location? Check. Known as a tax haven? Check. Has much more to offer? Double check. Isle of Man has a bad rep from those who haven’t been seduced by its remote location, warmth of its local Manx population and some fabulous small seaside towns such as Castletown, Peel and even its capital city Douglas. The best way to arrive here is by ferry from Liverpool in my opinion. It’ll drop you at Douglas, from where getting about anywhere in the tiny island is a breeze.

9. Guernsey

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

A British Crown dependency, Guernsey has suddenly caught the spotlight because of the Netflix movie The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society. It’s a good pointer at this Channel Island but its charms extend far beyond the film. A couple of museums are dedicated to the World War 2 occupation of the Channel islands and definitely warrant a visit. Apart from this, staying at St Peter Port makes it possible to walk around the most happening part of the island as well as escape to surrounding Channel islands such as Sark and Herm.

10. Jersey

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Constant Traveller 🌎 Priyanko (@constant__traveller)

The largest of all the Channel Islands, Jersey has much more than cows famously named after itself. Apart from military museums, Jersey also has some imposing castles, an explosion of flowers (especially lavender) and if you stay at capital Saint Helier, a history of the island itself as well as a superb waterfront where you can grab a coffee and indulge in people watching.

Which of these islands do you plan on visiting next? Let me know in the comments below.

Mega yacht Le Lyrial offers accommodation in 122 cabins and suites with cozy balconies.

The yacht will captivate you with its sophisticated design, inspired by sea voyages and the glow of the Blue Star in the constellation Lyra, which gave the name to the ship that was launched in 2015.

Turquoise-blue hues predominate on board, which decorate not only common recreation areas, but also cozy cabins.

Le Lyrial is designed to accommodate 264 passengers, who can truly relax in the onboard spa or relax on the sun deck. Despite the fact that the yacht is a kind of analogue of several recent twin ships, it is distinguished by a special French elegance and the presence of more spacious suites, each of which is at least 40 square meters. meters.

Canary Islands, Madeira. April 30-May 3 – Maritime practices

April 30th. Las Palmos, Gran Canaria

The ice has broken gentlemen sea practices! We are heading north.
Team aboard the Juliet: Oleg Vdovenko, Artem Moskvin, Irina Bikina, Evgeny Petrichko, Polina Tarbaeva, Evgeny Shkaruba.

The day was devoted to the end of repairs and tidying up. Oleg and Zhenya fixed the running lights, Artem is working with the ropes of the lazy jack. Oleg found a malfunction of the audio speaker in the cockpit, Zhenya and Artem updated the name “Juliet” on the freshly polished transom. We bought groceries and…
1805, leaving the last euros of the ship’s cash register at the gas station, left Las Palmas for Madeira.
In the morning Jean came and explained how to use Vibasta. She works. Warm. This is good news, but the main thing is that we went out, broke out into the sea, to the North. The Canaries are already tired. It became stuffy here, I want to go to the endless expanses …
1910 – after a short left tack, we tacked and lay down on the starboard tack. It turns out quite tolerably to go on a course of 330 * at a speed of 5-6 knots. Let’s assume we’re lucky with the weather. The North-North-East is blowing with a force of 2-3 points. So it will blow until tomorrow morning, and then, after a short sourness, it will turn to the West and we will go to Madeira in full gulf to drink Madeira.
2133 – rather nasty shakes on the oncoming wave. Ira was sick. I had to give her the helm out of turn, although this is not in our rules. Who is first? Whose watch is the most comfortable? All these questions are not for the sea. There is no justice here – look for your balance … I don’t know how this can be explained.
The renovation, as Polya rightly noted, was similar to dental treatment.. the more you dig, the more you plunge into problems, the more you want to escape into the sea. Another comparison is that a boat cannot be improved and repaired endlessly. Repair is like a painting, you need to finish painting on time and leave the pier on time.
At sunset, Tenerife is clearly visible. We say goodbye. In the morning we’ll take down the Spanish flag and that’s all. Oleg tried to sleep in the bow cabin and soon returned. Zhenya somehow holds on, but does not go down, Polya nods in the last hour of her watch .. the first evening and night is always the most difficult.

May 1,

0626, coordinates 28*59.8N 016*04.8W. Walked 60 miles overnight. It is 220 miles to Madeira, 2145 miles to Iceland in a straight line, 2300 miles to Greenland .. let’s go to Madeira for now.
During the night the wave became calmer, The boat moves with a slight heel, swaying slightly. Sheets boom blocks creak. You will need to lubricate them during the day.
The wind has set to the North. We turned to the West. Everything is fine. Irina still can’t come to her senses, but in the afternoon she’ll get better, we’ll arrange a backgammon tournament.
The lights of the northern cape of Tenerife are visible.
0710 sunrise.
0818, the wind is ending, but the Juliet continues to carry us to the Northwest. You can sit on the tank. A rarity in the ocean.
0943, met a big killer whale. We are going to celebrate the holiday of spring and labor.
1259, coordinates 29*13.9N 016*38.1W.

The wind came to the West, we made a turn to the left tack. The boat is calm, we go about three knots, there are almost no waves. Irina has almost come to her senses and is chatting cheerfully about something fastened to the stern railings. Sun.
1609, we are going north slowly, but reading and reading Roger D. Taylor, I don’t want to start the engine, especially knowing that soon the wind will come, it will appear by tomorrow morning and we will have time to enjoy it. In the meantime, instead of stalling from the operation of the motor, we are dragging along somehow.
We bought the MINGMING book at the Moscow Boat Show this winter. There we met its author, the wonderful Roger Taylor. I advise everyone who goes to sea to read. Not to conquer, but to seek harmony with this element. In some ways, Roger reminds me of Viktor Yazykov, only in English and speaking Russian well.

2044, coordinates 29*42.2N 016*33.7W.
Sunset. Gradually, through the zone of variable winds, we rise to the North. The West Wind must blow. In fact, he is almost there, blowing 10 knots on gusts. The boat is moving at a speed of 7 knots. The clouds are darkening in the West, and we don’t have reef pendants on the grotto. Okay, if it inflates a lot, we will remove the genoa.
2210, thirty miles to the east of us, the Selvagem Islands pass by. Find out what this name means.

May 2,

0245, entered the storm front. The first short rain, with a slight increase in wind. A dispersed wave is coming from the North. Wind three points. Genoa was removed for the night.
0523, coordinates 30*35.5N 016*38.7W.
Wind up to 16 knots. Gulfind left tack. Unstable. I don’t remember how many times I went upstairs during the night. The wind plays a fun game – “It blows, it doesn’t blow.”
The red navigation light does not light up. And we have some kind of hulk on the port side. Deck lighting turned on.
0720 sunrise.
1000 blowing fine 18 knots. Wave. The wind has settled. Sun. For the first time after swimming organized breakfast. Thanks to Ira for preparing everything in the Canary Islands. Nothing cleans up better than a group meal at strictly agreed hours. And half an hour ago they refused breakfast.
1229, removed genoa. From time to time there are small squalls.
1514, it is absolutely impossible to sleep on the bed, the mattress dances, takes off, tries to climb the wall, throw the sleepy sailor into the aisle. Shakes. And how do our internal organs feel? liver, spleen, for example. What to say about the boat. She still has to swim .. in general, there are 43 miles left to Funchal, and well, and it’s high time.
1937, Madeira visible. Funchal is 27 miles away.

2046 sunset. Small squalls from the West every half hour. A few minutes before sunset, we saw a bright rainbow in the sky. The central sheet (automatic) of the staysail was torn.
2105, at dusk we went to the marina of Funchal. Here we were very lucky: the wind is from the West, you can only pass through a narrow passage between densely moored boats. We outlined a place for ourselves where you can stand in a lag, seventeen meters long, no more. They almost started to maneuver, and at this time, when switching the reverse, it breaks. It was lucky that the engine was in reverse, and we were directed astern towards the exit. So on a small rear and left the marina.
2220, dropped anchor in the dark.

May 3

Morning fussed with the reverse lever. When it became clear that the reverse could not be repaired, an impromptu lever was constructed. Now you need two people to switch forward – back. One stands on the gangway and passes the command to the one who switches the reverse on the gearbox. If not for Oleg and Zhenya, I don’t know what would have happened.
1430, moored in the marina.
Mooring took place approximately like on the Krasin icebreaker with the commands “Reverse!”, “Neutral!”, “Forward!”. Irina stood in the aisle and passed commands to the engine room to Oleg, who switched the gear lever and answered back (also through Irina) – “There is Reverse!”, There is “Neutral”!

What motivates us to move away from our usual habitats in search of rest? Well, of course: take a break from the hustle and bustle, enjoy the sun, warm sea, greenery, delicious food, admire beautiful places … There are a lot of places in the world where you can say all this and you will undoubtedly be right. But you probably noticed that there are places where you can’t relax at all, but there are those where, on the contrary, the atmosphere itself is conducive to rest and complete relaxation.

Not for nothing that the concept of “private island” is much broader than just a description of the type of property or geography. “Leave everything and go away, to my own island”, “I’ll buy an island and leave” – how many similar phrases can be heard in life and cinema. But believe me, playing Robinson, without water, light, food and surrounded by insects (which are more correctly called wild animals) somewhere in a 24-hour flight from Moscow, you will most likely get bored in a week, not to mention such moments as the cost keeping your own island, providing security and incredibly exotic tropical diseases against the backdrop of a lack of professional medical care.

You always want to combine the incompatible: to have somewhere to lie alone on the beach, where to drive a car along mountain serpentines, where to go shopping, where to park a yacht, where to dance, and at the same time everything would be nearby. And there are such places! We are pleased to present to your attention real estate on the “civilized” islands, namely the Spanish Mallorca and the Canary Islands, French Corsica and Portuguese Madeira.

You get all the benefits of the “big land” without many of its disadvantages:

Infrastructure of developed European countries

A measured and smoother lifestyle

Unique color

Absence of a large number of people and traffic jams

More security

Huge selection of everything without having to travel anywhere

The islands give you a wide choice of places to live and relax depending on your wishes, and these places are usually located 15 minutes from each other. So, for example, in Mallorca, in Palma de Mallorca, there is one of the largest dance clubs in Europe and the world, while in 30 minutes you can get to the opposite end of the island along the high-speed autobahn to quiet, incredibly picturesque places ideal for a relaxing holiday. There are places in Mallorca for everyone: who needs an expensive and beautiful “sail on a yacht” to a secular party, and for those who need beautifully and not to be seen (but just in case, have the opportunity to be in the center of events in 15 minutes) . And if you want the charm of “rural” life and French Provence, then welcome to Corsica.

Magnificent Madeira will also find its fans – the island of flowers and eternal spring, the center of ecotourism. Its mild subtropical climate with high humidity, balanced temperatures throughout the year and the sea not colder than 18 degrees even in winter makes Madeira a very popular climatic resort, especially suitable for people with diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory systems, musculoskeletal system and skin. Real estate in Madeira is also interesting for fans of windsurfing, diving, fishing. Transport links with Madeira are no worse than those with mainland Portugal. From large Russian cities, even in the off-season, it is easy to get here with just one change in Vienna or London. In Madeira, you can spend one day shopping in large modern shopping centers, walking among virgin nature, procedures in spa and thalassotherapy centers, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, and in the evening having dinner in a quiet restaurant with amazing local cuisine or visiting discos of the European level. The cost of real estate in Madeira starts from 50,000 Euros, for such an amount you can buy a small cozy studio, and house prices start from 120,000 Euros. Under reconstruction there are houses in Madeira and lower cost.

The islands themselves certainly differ from each other, but in general they are united by a number of similar characteristics. To understand where what and for what money, our articles and experts will help.

Real estate on the islands is in constant demand, while building space is limited, so investments in such real estate are more liquid and not subject to any crises. This property is not always more expensive: for example, real estate prices in the Canary Islands are comparable to the affordable part of the Costa Blanca. And real estate in Mallorca is already comparable in price to the prestigious Costa del Sol.

Let us tell you in more detail about the amazing worlds that these “mini continents” represent and the opportunities they offer you.

Mysterious Macaronesia: “Eternal Spring” Madeira

: 27 Feb 2020 , Echoes of Memory , volume 85,
№5/6

The dream of every true naturalist is to discover something new every day from the huge variety of living forms that nature has created over millions of years of evolution. At the heart of our “botanical” journeys around the planet Earth lies not only the craving for knowledge, but also simple human curiosity, the desire for novelty. Today we will go to the mysterious Macaronesia, where the unique vegetation of the Ancient Mediterranean has been preserved. It includes the island territories of the Atlantic, the very names of which sound like a promise of a miracle: Madeira Island, the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Archipelago …

Madeira, an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean, is reached by tourists, like plants in the past, either by water or by air.

Because the island is in a climate ideal for setting up an open-air botanical garden, this is enjoyed by the modern local population. The entire island economy is “tied” to the tourism business. Agriculture also thrives on the slopes of the volcanic caldera, a vast saucer-shaped depression with steep stepped walls.

The flora of the Ancient Mediterranean was formed along the coast of the ancient Tethys Ocean, which existed for almost a billion years, from 850 to 5 million years ago. Constantly changing its shape, Tethys separated the ancient continents of Gondwana and Laurasia, and subsequently the land areas formed from them as a result of continental drift. Therefore, the ancient Mediterranean flora developed mainly as a result of migrations. The plants that occupied this area came from boreal (northern) and tropical floras. Species intermingled, interbreeding with each other, which gave impetus to speciation.

The ancient Mediterranean sub-kingdom is subdivided into 4 regions (Takhtajan, 1978). Three of them are continental and coastal-continental. And although the land here has changed its shape over time, these territories have always been connected by land corridors. The exception is the Macaronesian region, which covers tiny, by continental standards, volcanic islands. Macaronesia is surprising in that plants populated it, apparently, only by sea or with the help of migratory birds, and this process continued in different geological epochs. So the result that a nerd can see here is truly dizzying!

Tourists sailing on a cruise liner are taken directly from the deck to one of two botanical gardens, about which one can simply say – they are beautiful! Well-planned, well-groomed, colorful and captivating at any time of the year. Of course, the best time of the year to visit is spring, when subtropical trees bloom massively in Madeira, but in other seasons there is something to see. And Funchal itself (Funchal), the capital of the island, can safely claim the role of an open class in botanical geography.

By the way, all literature on the history of Portugal begins with a chapter about the “Isles of the Blessed” – a mythical region located somewhere at the end of the world in the middle of the ocean, serving as one of the symbols of paradise in the mythology of various peoples. And the islands of the Macaronesian region, including Madeira, perfectly correspond to this legend.

PLANET’S RAINBOW Flora is a historically established set of plant species inhabiting a certain territory in a particular geological epoch. First introduced into circulation in the middle of the 17th century, this term still denotes the scientific “inventory” of plants. Flora (and fauna) are never exactly the same.

The main patterns of zoning of the Earth’s floras were formulated in the book of the remarkable botanist and evolutionary scientist A. L. Takhtadzhyan “Floral Regions of the Earth” (1978), and it is this classification that botanists use today. Behind 248 pages of dry Latin, botanists see exotic lush flora of the tropics, succulents of deserts and sea coasts, hard-leaved subtropical forests … Takhtajyan distributed all the plant diversity, all the mosaicity of the planet’s cover into 6 floristic kingdoms, which are divided into sub-kingdoms, 34 regions and 147 provinces.

The floristic diversity of each geographical region is determined by a variety of factors, primarily climatic. Migration processes, geographic isolation and the complete or partial extinction of individual floristic complexes or even entire floras also play a huge role. As a result, many areas of the Earth today are characterized by a very peculiar set of species, genera, and even families. One of the main indicators of the level of flora identity is the number of endemics (species, genera, families) growing only in a given territory.

Judging by many sources, people began to inhabit these islands in the Atlantic Ocean since the time of the Roman Empire. The state colonization of the island of Madeira by Portugal began in the 1420s. Thus, the main settlement of people on the “Islands of the Blessed” fell on the time of the Great geographical discoveries. From that moment on, agriculture began to actively develop in Madeira, and, probably, it was then that the first plants appeared on the island, brought by colonists and sailors from other parts of the world.

For a long time (from the discovery in 1500 until the beginning of the 19th century) Brazil was a colony of Portugal, so it is not surprising that a large number of trees native to South America now grow in Madeira. These plants feel great here, they are widely used for landscaping streets and courtyards. Many trees in Funchal are marked with special labels, from which an inquisitive traveler can find out their botanical name and systematic position, as well as the distribution area of these species on the planet.

For a botanist, gardens, rich green decoration of settlements, and agriculture, which specializes mainly in “overseas” sugar cane, bananas and grapes, although they are of some interest, but, to be honest, he does not come here behind it.

The Macaronesian flora belongs to the so-called relict flora type. In other words, it is dominated by species that lived here until the Quaternary period (more than 2.5 million years ago) and have not changed or have changed little since then. “If in most of Western Europe the course of historical events was unusually turbulent and inconstant, as a result of which only the miserable remnants of the Tertiary flora reached us after the Ice Age, then at the same time in Madeira and Japan for the entire long period of time that elapsed from the end Tertiary period [about 1.8 million years ago] up to the present moment, the soil was dressed with flora of an approximately similar nature” (Krasnov, 1888).

In Funchal, you can visit two botanical gardens. One of them has many walking areas with foreign plants. The other, smaller one, is decorated with classic “beds” with collections of plant species from different parts of the world that grow here right under the open sky. The native flora of Macaronesia is also represented in these gardens.

The modern flora of the Macaronesian region includes about 1600 species. There are relatively few endemic genera here – 30%, but the number of endemic species is quite large – 650, slightly more than a third of the total (Takhtazhyan, 1974). The most endemic species are in the Canary Islands, with about 120 in Madeira (Jardim & Menezes de Sequeira, 2008). The most interesting of them are species of the family Laurel (Lauraceae).

Madeira has 1,220 species of flora – an impressive number for such a tiny piece of land. This number includes both native and introduced (deliberately or accidentally brought here as a result of human activity) and invasive (alien species that threaten the biodiversity of the region) species.

In conditions of constant humidity in Lavrosilva, spore plants feel great: 68 species of ferns, 13 of which are endemic to Madeira. In total, in the flora of Madeira and neighboring about. Selvagensh in 2008 about 150 species and subspecies of endemic plants were identified

Almost 15 hectares in Madeira are occupied by natural evergreen laurel forests. This is only one fifth of the territory of the island, which at one time received its name from the Portuguese madeira – wood, tree, forest. According to paleobotanists, of all modern plant formations, these laurel forests are closest to the ancient, Miocene and Pliocene forests of Europe, which grew there about 2.3-2.5 million years ago. These forests have their own name Laurosylva and do not grow anywhere else on the planet, except on the islands of the Macaronesian region.

Over the past centuries, Madeira has been visited by numerous naturalists who have explored its flora. Disputes about the origin of the island flora did not subside during the 19th and 20th centuries.

According to modern ideas (Capello et al ., 2007), the flora of Madeira was first formed by “ancient” species – laurel, forest ferns, members of the heather family. Then there appeared species of a younger geological age, the so-called neo-endemics – in Madeira, these include some species from the cabbage families, aster and euphorbia.

About 45 genera and over 2.8 thousand species of the laurel family grow in the humid tropics and subtropics around the world. But only four species from four genera form the appearance of the vegetation on. Madeira at certain heights. These plants serve as evidence that the island was inhabited primarily by representatives of the ancient relict flora of the Tertiary period. Fossilized remains of representatives of these four genera were found in the deposits of continental Europe at that time. Plants of ancient flora managed to survive in Madeira due to the remoteness and favorable climatic conditions of the island (Capelo et al. ., 2004, 2007)

Later, elements of the Mediterranean flora, both ancient and later, were added to this “bouquet”, which are currently distributed in sub-desert Africa near the Red Sea coast. These are mainly plants adapted to dry climates – succulent or xerophytic (e.g. gorse, spurge, asparagus, myrtle). Finally, the so-called anthropogenic flora appeared there last – plants that were introduced by humans and managed to become naturalized. For example, chestnuts, pines and grapes, which were specially brought there before 1500, as well as later ones, for example, aggressive species of small-flowered and ageratina from the Asteraceae family.

Most of the territory of Madeira today belongs to the protected area. The indigenous laurel forests of Madeira were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, but this did not help to solve many of the problems associated with the ever-increasing onslaught of species introduced by man. The issue of invasive species is still very acute.

The most aggressive among tree species are eucalyptus trees of various types, which today are planted “for firewood” in vast areas in both hemispheres. These trees are record holders in terms of growth rate and time to reach commercial maturity. The bad thing is that they just as quickly “run wild”, turning into malicious “weeds” that crowd out native species and quickly deplete the soil. There is also a problem with herbaceous invasive plants, which instantly occupy all habitats disturbed by humans (deposits, clearings, road slopes, etc.), actively crowding out local species.

Robbie Brady returns to Ireland duty in search of an Indian Summer – The Irish Times

Robbie Brady and Callum O’Dowda reporting for duty makes this Ireland camp feel like Stephen Kenny went shopping during the transfer window.

Newly minted Premier League men Gavin Bazunu and Nathan Collins – fresh from his red card for karate kicking Jack Grealish – add another layer of authority to a group intent on doing the double over Scotland in the Nations League return leg at Hampden Park this Saturday.

Not to mention the revenge mission against Armenia in Dublin next Tuesday.

O’Dowda is in sparkling form for Cardiff City, showing glimpses of the attacking winger who seemed set for a sustained international career after breaking into Martin O’Neill’s Ireland team back in 2018.

READ MORE

“Well, a lot of people in this room know I’m a powerful player and I play with a lot of intelligence and I like to run beyond teams as well,” O’Dowda quietly responded to a question about what he can offer Ireland in 2022. “I’ve played in quite a few positions in Cardiff this season and that shows the versatility in my game too.”

Injuries threatened to spoil the legacy of these rare birds. Especially Brady, who is one of only three Republic of Ireland internationals to score twice at major tournaments. Ray Houghton and Robbie Keane being the others.

Houghton’s header in Stuttgart to beat England and the Giants Stadium lob to humble Italy will never be surpassed, nor will Keane’s equaliser against Germany in Ibaraki. But Brady’s header in Lille to beat Italy at Euro 2016 and the early penalty against France carved his name into the pillars that prop up Irish football.

The 30-year-old has 57 caps and eight goals since scoring on debut against Oman in November 2012 to go with an ocean of regret from a career decimated by snapped ligaments. And yet, Manchester United, Hull City, Norwich City, Burnley, Bournemouth and this season Preston North End have invested millions of pounds in this natural creator with a rare left peg.

Brady is Troy Parrott 10 years ago. He is one of the last Irish talents to be lured to Old Trafford. Despite many, many set-backs, Preston manager Rob Lowe appears to have polished an old gem.

Robbie Brady celebrates scoring Ireland’s goal against Italy during the Euro 2016 game in Lille.

Brady says he never felt lost while club-less twice in the past two years; cast so far adrift that he did pre-season training under the watchful gaze of the FAI’s head of athletic performance Damien Doyle.

Lowe’s offer of a ‘trial period’ at Deepdale must have been hard to swallow?

“No, it was where I was at,” Brady replied. “The manager phoned me and said ‘you come in and we’ll have a chance to see where you are physically and you can come in and have a look at us and see if you like it as a club and the way we are trying to do things.’ It was pretty straightforward when I went in, there was a lot of factors that suited me and I’m delighted with it and I’m getting the minutes in, which is what I needed.”

To be precise, 776 minutes in 10 appearances for the Championship contenders. Well, contenders if they can turn draws, six so far, into wins, which will happen if Parrott ever catches fire in front of goal.

“He’s a great lad,” said Brady of his fellow Dubliner on loan from Tottenham. “I do see similarities in him from when I was younger. He’s hungry, he’s one of the most determined lads I’ve come across, he wants to be better every day and he’s been a breath of fresh air since he’s come in.

“Goals have been tough to come across at Preston but his all-round play has been excellent, he plays well above his years, his football intelligence is excellent and I’m sure you’ve seen that in patches yourself, he’s got a really good future ahead of him and he doesn’t want to leave a second go to waste.”

Kenny constantly let it be known that there was life in Brady’s ageing legs, so long as the muscles and ligaments remained intact, as groin surgeries and knee issues are seeped into his 14 years living in England.

“It has been difficult. The last six to 12 months [Kenny] has left it to me. I told him what I felt like I needed, and he told me what he felt I needed, and it sort of speaks for itself; I wasn’t playing enough football to put myself in contention and I knew that myself.

“He’s been great for me since he first came in, and keeping in contact and his thoughts on me and where he thinks I can get to. I wasn’t able to get myself in a position to give him what he needed. I am back fit and healthy and in a good place now to make an impact.”

Robbie Brady – The Lost Years (career in numbers)

Ireland caps: 57

Goals: 8

Last competitive start: November 2020 v Bulgaria, Nations League

Last competitive goal: October 2019, v Gibraltar in Euros qualifiers

Despite one appearance for Manchester United, as an 86th-minute sub against Newcastle United in the 2012 League Cup, Brady began his professional career at Hull City, where he ended up signing in 2013, making 114 appearances and scoring 10 goals. Relegated in 2015. Joined Norwich City in July 2015 (£7 million), scoring seven goals in 59 appearances for the Canaries. Relegated in 2016. Signed by Burnley in January 2017 (£13 million), scoring four goals in 81 appearances over a three and a half year contract that was not renewed in May 2021. Bournemouth, six appearances in 2021/22. Released.

Went on a successful trial to Preston North End this summer, featuring at left wing back in all 10 Championship matches so far this season. Recalled by Ireland in 2022.

Mid rebuild of the stern systems © Rhys Walters

We started the season in Portimao after 3 months of Brexit-enforced leave in Ireland. Thankfully since then, I’ve been made an Irish citizen and with that comes an unlimited time in the Schengen zone.

My heart goes out to the UK cruisers we have met this year that are struggling with the 90-day deadline; it’s a nonsensical situation for them.

From Portimao, we shook off the cobwebs with a short and leisurely sail to Albufeira to meet some friends, with an even shorter hop soon after to Vilamoura. Both places have their merits, but we were eager to get back to anchor and away from the madness of them. Thankfully, Culatra wasn’t too far away and we had heard great things about it, being a huge and very well-protected anchorage so long as you didn’t get the tides wrong at the entrance. Our plan was to stay there while we waited for our autopilot to arrive out of customs, and then once it was fitted we wanted to go to Madiera and then the Canaries.

It wasn’t long after we arrived there that we decided that it wasn’t the place we wanted to be. While definitely a very well-protected anchorage, there were a lot of abandoned boats there which made it feel like a graveyard, and the taxi boats made life on board difficult at high tide when they used a shortcut and the anchored boats as something to aim for, usually sending a big wake as they passed at 20 knots.

The island was pretty, but Olhao isn’t much to write home about and it felt a bit unfriendly, especially when compared to the rest of Portugal which was usually extremely welcoming and friendly. After a quick check of the weather, and a bit of passage planning we decided we should head for Gibraltar, and if the autopilot arrives someone coming our way would surely bring it down from Portimao, which people we had met later did.

We left Culatra on a Saturday morning with a decent forecast to get us all way through the Straits, hitting Tarifa at just the right time for the tides. Unfortunately, this is when our season started to take a negative turn and we lost a few weeks to some issues. Firstly, the trip from Culatra to Gibraltar didn’t go to plan, as the wind died shortly after sunset and we had to motor in a pretty uncomfortable swell for several hours, resulting in me getting very sick due to a combination of rolling and diesel fumes. We decided to cut the trip slightly short at Barbate to reassess and pick some better weather.

After a day or so there, I went to check the engine oil and noticed a decent amount of water in the bilge. I knew we had a small leak somewhere beforehand, but I had thought it was a faulty siphon loop. On further inspection this time I found the seal around the stern tube as it passed through the hull was leaking, more so when motoring. Also, our new gearbox was leaking oil. Not good after only 200 hours. The leaks weren’t dangerous, so we made our way with some excellent sailing to Gibraltar, hitting 10 knots in the straits with a strong current and 35 knots of wind behind us.

After a few days of calling various boatyards, only to find them all either full or difficult to deal with (like La Linea who only allow you to work on the boat in business hours and you are banned from living on board, crazy), we found a very helpful and friendly yard in Marina Motril which would take us whenever we arrived.

After an excellent downwind sail under Asymmetric Spinnaker we arrived in Fuengirola, before the next leg to Motril where we found an extremely warm and friendly welcome. I highly recommend that marina and yard. It took me a week to fix the leaks, the engine had to be moved way forward to change the gearbox seal. While I was in there I changed the dripless shaft seal, RnD coupler and did the engine alignment.

The stern tube was very loose, and the sealant had failed, hence the leak; so I pulled it out, cleaned it and resealed it. We were back in the water within the week, and we left once I was happy the boat wasn’t sinking any more, which was an hour after launch.

We arrived in Almerimar, and I spent the next 8 days fitting our autopilot. We were very excited about it because we had done the last 2000 miles by either wind vane or hand steering which was tiring. I started by making a bracket out of stainless, but when the whole system was installed it proved to be too weak, so I had to remake it in heavier mild steel. Thankfully, I keep a welder on board, so I could make both parts easily on the side of the road next to the boat. It was an experience to weld in that heat!

Once we were ready for sea trials, we left and headed further north for some more adventure. It’s important to remember that cruising isn’t all sundowners and fun, it can be a hard-fought battle and some say cruising is just fixing boats in exotic places, which it can be for sure.

Just remember when you have your head stuck in the engine bay in nearly 40C, you’re not alone.

Animals – weather forecasters. Weather forecast from pets

The scientific world has about 700 species of animals that sense the approach of natural disasters. Back in the 80s of the last century, Italian scientists proved that positively charged ions lead to a panic state in animals, the concentration of which in the air before a natural disaster is rapidly increasing. Inhalation of ions causes increased heart rate, headache, and most importantly, increased production of the hormone adrenaline by the body. It is these factors that lead the animals to a state of anxiety and panic. Moreover, indoors, the number of ions is much higher than outdoors, which is why animals tend to escape from the house. In earthquake-prone areas, there are even laboratories for monitoring sensitive animals – cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. According to their behavior, forecasts are made about upcoming earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, storms, etc.

Meteorologists, of course, try to predict the weather using modern electronic instruments, computer data processing and space satellites. But more often, the most ordinary domestic Murka or the yard Barbos foresee weather changes 100 times more accurately than the most sensitive instruments. Especially if we are not talking about a banal thunderstorm, but about natural disasters like an earthquake.

Cats are considered the most weather-sensitive pets. If in winter the cat settles closer to the radiator, tries to crawl under the master’s blanket, or sleeps curled up, frosts will soon come. But if Murka, on the contrary, stretches to his full height during sleep, wait for a thaw.

Dogs: Did you order rain?

Dogs go into “hibernation” before the rain, and go for a walk without much enthusiasm. Before a heavy rain with a squally wind, quadrupeds often hide in a corner, hide under a table or chair, and are very reluctant to respond to the call of the owner. Another sign of a heavy downpour is a dog rolling on the grass and whining softly.

Dogs show anxiety long before the start of a catastrophe, sometimes even two weeks before. They bark loudly, howl lingeringly, cuddle up to the owner, and just before the start of the tremors, they pull the person out into the street, thereby trying to save him. If the owner remains indifferent to the calls of a four-legged friend, then even the most well-mannered and faithful dog, sensing the impending danger, can disobey his master and run away wherever his eyes look.

By the way, it has been noticed that dogs and cats living in the countryside are more sensitive to natural changes than their urban counterparts.

The weather will be predicted by… a hamster

Chinchillas and hamsters diligently insulate their house with handy “building materials” before the onset of cold weather, and in anticipation of warming, on the contrary, get rid of “excesses”.

Animals feel the approach of an earthquake, the epicenter of which is located at a distance of several hundred kilometers. For example, ferrets, guinea pigs and rabbits, in anticipation of a natural disaster, rush around the cage in anxiety and tremble all over.

Winged meteorologists

Parrots can also predict the weather in the near future. Usually noisy and talkative, is the budgerigar silent? This means that heat is not expected in the near future. Domestic parrots and canaries are especially popular in Kamchatka. After all, these birds with their loud cry notify the owners of a volcanic eruption.

Predictive frog

Even frogs that live in home terrariums are very sensitive to weather changes. With a loud croak, they announce the approach of good weather, and if it rains, the amphibians fall silent or, hiding under a snag, grumble softly. And there are species that can even change skin color before bad weather.

Aquarium meteorological center

Fish dig in the ground – expect good weather, swim near the surface of the water – get ready for bad weather. Inactive usually loaches lie at the bottom, but when bad weather approaches, they begin to worry and rise to the surface of the water 20 times per minute! In earthquake-prone areas of Japan, aquarium inhabitants are brought in specifically to predict an impending earthquake or the approach of a storm. After all, the fish begin to worry a week before the start of the disaster, while the devices give a warning in just 2 hours!

Village animals – weather forecasters

Domestic birds feel the electrical voltage in the air better than other animals. If geese and chickens hid in a poultry house in broad daylight, there will be a thunderstorm.

There are folk signs, although scientifically unfounded, but proven for centuries. If in winter the goats knock their feet, flap their ears and sneeze, there will be heavy snowfall. The chicken stands on one leg – there will be a cold. Little pigs squeal – wait for frost, big pigs itch – to heat.

But that village animals feel the approach of natural disasters is known for certain. Before an earthquake, geese become aggressive and scream deafeningly, and chickens fly up into the trees and cackle loudly. Goats and sheep become very restless, thereby warning the shepherds of high mountain villages about tremors and stone landslides. Cows do not react to minor changes in the weather, but a few hours before a storm or earthquake, they begin to worry and moo loudly. Interestingly, cows of a breed bred in seismically hazardous mountainous areas feel the approach of trouble earlier than their counterparts from the middle lane. They, like horses, try to break out of the stall and run away.

Folk omens about animals – weather, family and home. Signs based on the feelings of animals Domestic and wild birds

Folk signs about animals exist in order to understand and decipher what our smaller brothers want to convey to us. Throughout the existence of the human race, animals have always been with us. And since we cannot understand animal language, it remains to be content with observations and our guesses.

What are omens and superstitions?

Let’s define the difference between omens and superstitions. So, signs are the right and necessary advice, but superstition is a veiled, but serious human fear. If a sign gives us the right to choose how to act longer, then superstition sounds like a sentence, if this happened, then nothing can be changed.

Every culture has its own superstitions and signs. Each of us knows about their existence, but to believe in them or not is a personal matter for each person. However, even avid atheists are wary of black cats on their way and become nervous if they accidentally spill salt on the table.

The very first signs were noticed in ancient times and it is impossible to know the exact time of their appearance. At a time when mankind was far from scientific knowledge and discoveries, it was by superstition that it was possible to determine what was happening around. These observations are so imprinted in the memory that even now, during the great scientific technologies, many are turning to the same constant signs and most of them come true.

Knowing certain signs, we can not only predict the future, but also try to change something. And any superstition gives a clear understanding that nothing can be corrected. Whether or not you believe in seriousness, they will still affect your life. Perhaps we should think that it was not in vain that our ancestors made observations and passed on their knowledge from generation to generation.

Modern people try to find answers to all their questions themselves. But do not forget that all everyday rituals are already signs. For example: daily brushing of teeth, if it is not carried out for several days, then caries will form. Also with spilled salt, meeting a black cat and a bird flying into the house, in any case there will be consequences.

To avoid the negative influences of signs and superstitions in your life, you should know a few rules:

Find out the main signs;

Learn to neutralize them;

Be able to interpret correctly.

Chickens raise their paws – to frost.

There are still a huge number of signs, such as, or signs during pregnancy. The main thing is not just to be interested in their influences, but also to try to change something. Knowing that everything in the world is interconnected, our ancestors made observations, and our task is simply to trust and use this knowledge.

Animal folk signs about the weather help to predict upcoming events and predict the changes in climatic conditions associated with them.

Signs of pets

Pets, constantly near the owner, help to judge the upcoming weather changes.

Cats

Cats predict the onset of frost if:

they cling to a warm radiator in an apartment, sit on a warm stove in a house, or are not ready to crawl from their master’s knees, curling up into a ball,

hide their nose in wool,

cover the nose with a paw.

A cold snap is also indicated by the scratching of cat’s claws on the floor, wall and furniture. In summer, this portends strong winds, in winter – a blizzard. The cat, which has turned to the window and put its back under the warmth of the sun, says that the cold will drag on.

If a cat cleans its paws with its tongue, it means a clear day.

A cat lying on the floor is waiting for a thaw, and its long wakefulness and long sitting on the windowsill will tell you about the onset of heat. This is due to the increasing solar heat.

An increase in atmospheric pressure is judged by dilated cat pupils.

Dogs

Dogs are animals whose behavior is used to judge upcoming weather changes with great certainty:

they stretch out and spread their paws around – you have to wait for heat,

rains promise side-to-side dog riding,

A dog that eats snow and scratches its back in winter predicts the coming of frost.

Livestock

Animal behavioral weather signs are available from farmers who own livestock.

Horses

Horses usually eat grass for future use and wheeze, shaking their mane, before the rain comes. In sunny weather, they snort and lie down on the ground.

Cows

On the eve of heavy rain, farmers observe a decrease in milk yield. Before the upcoming frosts, a herd of cows usually rush home.

Sheep

Anticipating the coming frosts, sheep and lambs gather in heaps. In the summer, before the rains, their coat becomes soft, and coarsens on warm and sunny days. Before strong winds, rams notice an increase in pugnacity.

Pigs

Preparing for thunderstorms or a strong hurricane, pigs begin to drag straw and leaves into the barn, and in winter, before a blizzard, they squeal loudly.

Wild animals

Hunters predict weather changes by the behavior of wild animals. So, about a change in heat for bad weather, says:

frequent change in the location of large animals: elk or deer,

chipmunks alarm whistle,

frequent appearance of moles on the surface, they leave behind high heaps,

active raft building by beavers at night,

lizards motionless basking on stones,

frogs that have come ashore.

Be warm if:

squirrels are jumping briskly up the trees,

frogs croak with many voices.

In winter, voles, which begin to get out of snowdrifts, will tell you about the onset of a thaw, and mice squeaking under the snow and hares that come close to a person’s dwelling will tell you about the upcoming frosts.

Birds

The behavior of domestic and wild birds in the world is used to judge the weather for the coming days.

Poultry

In the foreboding of warm weather, according to popular belief, the chicken starts shaking its paws, and the singing parrots and canaries are silent. Before warming, the rooster gets up earlier than usual, and chickens and ducks do not go indoors.

If poultry gather in groups on high ground, it means that they are waiting for heavy rains.

Wild birds

They say about bad weather:

sparrows bathing in the sand in autumn,

bullfinch singing in winter,

the nightingale that sings non-stop at night,

swallows flying low.

Before the warm weather, the cuckoo calls all night long, and the sparrows scurry between the trees. The birds sitting on the top of the trees will also tell you about the upcoming clear day.

Finding out the exact weather forecast today is not at all difficult.
Not many of us are ready to trust the experience of distant ancestors in order to independently predict this or that weather phenomenon, and why, it is enough to turn on the TV to get the most reliable information on this issue. Keeping up with the times, modern people are moving away from nature every day, which, in spite of everything, continues to send them its signals, using the language of ancient signs and observations diligently collected by our distant ancestors.

The animals that surround us in everyday life can serve as wonderful harbingers of weather changes, you just have to look closely at them.
Sometimes such a weather forecast can turn out to be much more true than the promises of weather forecasters based on the use of the most modern technologies.

Natural instincts

Determining the weather with the help of signs related to the behavior of animals is very simple. Many of them hide in secluded places before the onset of bad weather or behave restlessly . One has only to carefully observe them, and then correctly interpret their behavior.
Animals are able to predict not only bad weather, but also clear sunny days, then they behave calmly and with all their appearance show a person that everything is fine.

Observing cats

These animals are perhaps the most sensitive to changes in weather conditions. Many folk signs are associated with them, here are the most common of them:

If the cat sneezes, then it will rain;

Licks his fur – invites bad weather;

It scratches behind the ear – to be snow or rain;

Licks the tail, which means a blizzard should be expected;

Curls into a ball – there will be frost;

In a dream, he hides his muzzle in his paws or under his belly – bad weather and cold will come soon;

If the cat sleeps sweetly with its belly turned upwards – to be warm and hot sun;

Raises the hind leg, which means there will be windy weather;

Smoothes the hair on the head while washing with paws – the weather will be fine;

Sharpens claws on the legs of a chair – to variable weather events.

Watching dogs

Faithful four-legged friends are good at feeling temperature fluctuations, both in the air and on the surface of the earth, so they can also accurately predict the weather
.

If the dog sways in different directions, lying on its back, it will be windy;

Lying on the grass – to be rain and wind;

Rolling in the snow – to a blizzard;

Chasing each other in the snow – the thaw will come soon;

The dog curls up – to the onset of cold weather;

If there is snow – to worsen the weather;

If one eats grass in spring or summer, one should wait for rain;

Riding on his back in winter – to the onset of frost;

If it gets into the water, it will soon rain;

When a dog starts eating little and sleeping a lot, the weather will soon change for the worse.

Other animals

If you have the opportunity to observe forest dwellers or any other domestic animals, you can at least make your own personal weather forecast every day.
It’s so simple and exciting.

A squirrel that nests too low feels a frosty winter. If she makes her house high, the winter will not be too severe;

Forest chipmunks always scream loudly before a thunderstorm;

Rams and sheep pushing their foreheads – be a strong wind;

Hares get closer to human habitation – to the harsh winter;

Horses wheeze loudly before bad weather, with the onset of warm weather they begin to snort, and in anticipation of heavy rain they shake their heads and throw them back up;

Anticipating dampness, the horses lie down on the ground. This usually happens in the summer. In winter, such behavior portends rain;

If the singing of frogs has died down in the swamp, it means that frost will soon come;

A loud frog choir in any body of water signifies the approaching heavy rain;

Cows before the rain begin to actively graze the grass, as if trying to eat for future use;

Any livestock that huddle together feels the onset of bad weather;

Almost all cows start to lose milk before rainy weather;

If moles rake up heaps higher, it means that bad weather is coming soon;

Mice running out from under the snow anticipate an imminent thaw;

A strong squeak of mice is heard in anticipation of a severe cold snap;

Domestic pigs feel strong frosts well and closely huddle together;

Before the storm, you can see how the pigs begin to actively pull the straw and burrow deep into the depths.

Passing from one mouth to another, weather signs associated with animals have survived to this day. To believe or not to believe is a personal matter for everyone. However, touching the deepest folk wisdom, through unity with nature and our smaller brothers, will appeal to many, making each of us a little more attentive to the world around us.

For our ancestors – hunters, cattle breeders, farmers – the weather was of vital importance. It will rain in time, there will be bread in the fields, and cattle in pastures, and an animal in the forest. A drought will begin, frost will hit early or a thunderstorm will break out in the middle of a hayfield, do not expect good. Therefore, in ancient times, every zealous owner knew at least a hundred weather signs and actively used them. Animals were considered especially faithful “barometers”.

Furry, scaly and eight-legged weather forecasters

Even official science does not deny the fact that animals and birds are endowed with sensitivity to changes in nature. They learn about the approach of an earthquake almost faster than seismological sensors. Capture the slightest fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. Much earlier than a person, they notice a change in soil temperature, air humidity and wind direction … Or maybe they have an additional sixth sense! In any case, it makes sense to take a closer look at the behavior of a pet. It can be not only entertaining, but also useful.

How to determine the weather by the behavior of domestic and wild animals

Most of the signs went to the beast living side by side with man. It is clear: whoever was seen next to him more often was watched more closely. And the first in a row of fluffy weather forecasters is a tailed and mustachioed exterminator of mice, without which not a single peasant farm could do.

Cat

The cat cleans up its paws – hope for good weather

If a pet clings to a warm radiator, insistently climbs on the master’s knees, curls up tightly, hides its nose in wool or covers its muzzle with its paw, frosts are coming.

If it spreads freely on the floor, the thaw will begin soon. Well, when at the same time the cat diligently washes its muzzle with its paw – you can safely tune in to fine days.
Even if a storm with hail rages outside the window, they do not last long.

The cat begins to scrape with its claws everything that turns under its paw: the floor, the walls, the front door? In summer, the sign portends a strong wind, in winter – a blizzard.

If Murka sits on the windowsill and looks out the window for a long time, warm weather will set in from day to day.

Will turn its tail to the glass and expose its back to the sun’s rays – the cold will drag on. If it happens in winter, expect snowfall.

When the “room tiger” sleeps soundly and sweetly, and when he is awake he plays with pleasure, folk signs predict sunny weather and thaws. Or you take good care of your mini-predator, and in your house he is healthy and happy.

If a cat licks its tail, chews grass or sneezes, rainfall is to be expected. Sometimes cat vomiting is also considered a sign of wet weather, but here it is better not to rely on the wisdom of the ancestors, but to take care of the health of the pet.
There is a possibility that she ate something wrong.

Dilated pupils of a cat are considered by some to help detect an increase in atmospheric pressure. You can conduct an experiment by personally checking Barsik’s “testimony” with the official barometer data. But make allowances for the accompanying circumstances. Perhaps only the lighting is to blame for the size of the cat’s pupil.

Dog

In winter, dogs frolic in a blizzard, in summer – in the rain

No less accurate weather forecast for tomorrow is given by another closest friend of man.

The dog curls up in a ball – to a cold snap.

Stretches out on the ground, spreading its paws in different directions – to warming.

Lying on his back, waving his head from side to side and rolling from side to side – to rainy weather.

If the tailed predictor chews grass, enthusiastically digs holes in the garden and plays with other dogs, the omen portends bad weather. It will be all the more likely if the animal begins to beg for additional portions of food, as if trying to work up fat before cold and slushy weather.

The dog scratches its back on the crust and eats snow – frosts will begin.

Livestock

Cows eat hard – wait for the rain

Cows and horses try to eat for future use before the rain.

In the evening on the eve of a heavy downpour, cows’ milk decreases.

The cow voluntarily hurries from the pasture to the barn – the first frosts are approaching.

If the horse snores and shakes his head, he smells rain, if he snorts – sunny weather.

Horses lie down in the heat, stay standing in the cold.

Before a strong wind, the rams become pugnacious, and the donkeys begin to wail.

Sheep and pigs huddle together, anticipating a cold snap.

Sheep wool becomes softer in wet weather, and coarsens when no rain is expected.

If the pigs drag rags, straw and leaves into the pigsty, they are preparing for a thunderstorm with violent winds. If they squeal often and loudly, there will be a blizzard.

Wild animals

Chipmunks move to the hills before the flood

Large forest inhabitants – deer and elk – do not find a place before bad weather and often change their “deployment”.

Chipmunks whistle in alarm at the rain, and scream at a strong storm.

If the moles climb to the surface, leaving behind high heaps of earth, there will be a downpour.

Do beavers work at night? They are in a hurry to prepare for the rise of water – they are waiting for a thunderstorm.

Frogs come ashore before heavy downpours.

If in the evenings a many-voiced frog concert sounds over the water, tomorrow will be a good day.

When lizards foresee wet weather, they freeze on large stones, as if in a hurry to bask in the sun.

If you are lucky enough to spot a squirrel’s nest, estimate how far it is from the ground. Closer to the top of the tree – the winter will be mild. If the animal decided not to climb high, crack this year in severe frosts.

When warm days are coming, the squirrel is lively and jumps a lot in the trees.

If a tailed nut lover takes it into her head to run over the crust in severe cold, this is a sure sign that the thaw is not far off.

The same promise and voles, in the dead of winter, got out from under the snowdrifts.

But if the mice squeak under the snow, not trying to look out into the white light, they smell an increase in frost.

Before the cold winter, hares try to get close to the human settlement.

A sign from the inhabitants of the steppe: before a snowstorm, saigas run en masse into the bush in search of shelter.

Domestic and wild birds

A hen that folds its paw foretells a cold snap

A hen tucks one paw when it anticipates a cold snap.

The rooster starts to sing earlier than usual in winter – it celebrates the coming thaw.

When it rains, don’t chickens and ducks rush to hide? And don’t be in a hurry, the clouds will soon dissipate.

On the other hand, if the ducks crowd on a hill, the rain will be long and heavy.

Domestic songbirds – canaries, parrots and other cute living creatures – are sadly silent? Don’t count on warmth.

Other feathered forecasters

Many have known since childhood that swallows fly low before rain.

Migratory birds stay closer to the ground before a harsh winter, and rise high into the sky before a warm one.

If the nightingale sang all night incessantly, he tried for the future: for several days in a row the wind would not allow the poor fellow to perform his arias.

In winter, sparrows burrow into the straw before a blizzard.

In the summer they make noise and bathe in the sand, promising the connoisseurs that they will accept the rain.

Before a drought flocks of sparrows are worried and scurry from tree to tree.

The bullfinch sings – the blizzard calls.

Magpies hide under roofs before bitter frosts, and swallows before a storm.

If the cuckoo crowed from morning to evening, a thaw will come. It’s funny that in America this prediction is read exactly the opposite: the cold will come if the cuckoo calls all day long.

Rooks return home a month before the snow melts.

If swallows appeared, soon there will be the first spring thunderstorm.

Birds gather on the upper branches of trees for warmer weather.

Insects

The chirping of a grasshopper promises good weather

Every insect feels the approach of rain – mosquitoes get angrier, earthworms get out of the ground, dragonflies rush about, flies buzz furiously and rush into the house, ants close the anthill, fireflies do not burn, and bees do not fly away from hives.

If a ladybug easily took off from your hand, sunny weather will last until the evening. If it hesitates, crawls over the body and tries to hide in the sleeve or hide between the fingers, it will start to rain.

The spider sat in the center of the web – it will be warm. Hiding on its edge or crawling under a leaf – it smells bad weather.

The abundance of night butterflies speaks of a cold snap.

The loud chorus of grasshoppers in the evening portends good weather.

Fish

In Japan, aquarium fish are kept in offices as weather forecasters.

The fish jumps out of the water – rain is inevitable. Everything is logical: midges fly low in humid air, and scaly hunters are right there.

If your aquarium loach is restless, expect bad weather.

Before a thunderstorm, decorative catfish lie motionless for a long time in one place or, following the example of a loach, fuss and rush from corner to corner.

Signs of the peoples of the world

Nomads, tillers and dashing hunters can be found among the ancestors of any nation. That is why signs about the weather – original, amazing, funny – are in every country. For example:

The British believe that a cricket can successfully replace not only a barometer, but also a thermometer
. One has only to count how many times the little singer will chirp in a minute, and you will know the air temperature. Naturally, in degrees Fahrenheit, since the Celsius scale is not popular on the British continent.

On the sea coast of France, tricolor cats are respected for their ability to feel the approach of a storm. In addition, they believe here: if a cat rubs its nose with its paw, it predicts the wind, if it scratches behind the ear, it predicts rain.

If leeches hide under shore stones, Germany is preparing for a thunderstorm.

If the ducks in the yard began to desperately flap their wings, rain or snow is expected in Bulgaria.

There is a similar sign in India, but there the role of the predictor of rain is given to a chicken with spread wings.

In Iran, they believe that sheep spin with their ears, sensing bad weather.

In Spain, they start looking for an umbrella when they hear a goat sneezing.

In Ireland, it is customary to trust not a horned dereza, but a singing sandpiper. If you shouted – wait for the flow of water from the sky.

In China they know: midges in a cloud – rain is inevitable.

But in Holland it is considered a bad omen to hear midges buzzing in January. The year will be lean and therefore hungry.

In Japan, they are vigilantly watching whether coastal fish go to the open sea. The shoals stretched away from the land – there will be either an earthquake or a tsunami. In any case, no good.

An American omen says that pikes lie on the bottom before bad weather.

The Brazilian will be upset when he finds an anthill in the bed of a dried up river – this sign portends 12 months of drought.

Video: Folk ways to predict the weather in the modern world

In today’s world, some signs lose their meaning along with climate change. Others are changing. But most of them have survived to this day, confirming their truthfulness and sharp observation of the ancient “naturalists”. Knowing them, and using some from time to time, does not hurt anyone.

Today, to find out the exact forecast, you just need to go to the appropriate site on the Internet. Previously, every evening and every morning, everyone was waiting for the weather to be announced by a pretty girl on the screen, and even earlier, people watched the external environment in order to understand what kind of weather conditions await them. So there were folk signs about the weather according to animals, plants and natural phenomena.

Animal behavioral weather prediction

Animal observation

Of course, earlier, when people encountered the forest more often, they watched the forest animals and drew conclusions about what the weather would be like. Today, when most people live in apartments, far from the wild, we have nothing left to do but monitor the behavior of our pets.

However, this can be a very interesting activity. We are constantly watching our beloved domestic cats and dogs, birds. So, what else should we include and include a slightly different vector of observation. Namely, how does the behavior of our pets depend on the upcoming weather conditions? First, consider signs about the weather according to the behavior of animals, the most common of them.

Signs about dogs

These weather signs about animals will be most interesting to read to those who have a dog in the house:

If your dog curls up in autumn, it means you are waiting for bad weather, it usually happens before frost.

The dog, on the contrary, lies on the floor, stretched out to its full height, which means that it will soon become warmer than it is now on the street. The dog smells it.

The dog stretched out to its full height, rolls from side to side and waves its head in different directions, which means, most likely, expect rain and strong winds in the coming days.

A dog on the street actively chews grass, digs holes all over the yard and now and then asks for an additional portion of food, which means that cold snaps are coming. Thus, the animal tries to gain fat in order to endure the cold, such behavior is inherent in instincts.

The dog is actively scratching his back, trying to eat snow, which means that soon there will be even more severe frosts.

Omens with cats

Changes in the weather can be predicted even by cat owners:

When it gets cold, cats, like dogs, try to sleep curled up.

Signs associated with the behavior of a cat say that if the cat is looking for a place to hide, then it says that the heat will come soon.

You can start taking out warm clothes if the cat is cuddling up to you all the time and trying to sleep right on top of you. Some people think that in this way the cat shows love. It, of course, can be so, but also, in this way, the cat is trying to warm itself from your body.

And if the cat, on the contrary, avoids contact with you, tries to lie down, away from the person, then it will soon be very hot and the cat simply does not need you as an additional source of heat.

Folk signs related to the behavior of animals on weather changes say that if a cat sneezes, then it will rain soon.

All cats in the world, as well as dogs, on the eve of hot weather stretch right on the floor and expose their belly. If a very strong heat is coming, then the cat lies down right in the draft.

If the cat also hides its nose in its paws when curling into a ball, it means that there will soon be severe cold snaps.

Folk signs associated with animals say that if warm and calm weather is coming, then the cat licks itself and actively smooths the hair on its head.

Signs with livestock

Of course, there are folk signs associated with livestock:

If horses and cows often demand additional portions of food, then soon there will be bad weather, animals do this when they feel that they need to eat for future use .

In the evening before heavy rain, cows usually lose milk

If a cow hurries to leave the pasture and go to the barn without asking too much, then it will be colder.

In a dream, the horse makes snoring sounds and actively shakes its head, it will probably get colder, so it can portend rain. If the horse snorts in a dream, then it smells hot weather.

Warm weather is coming – the horses are trying to lie down on the floor. If the horses try to stay on their feet, then expect bad weather to come.

A strong wind promises the behavior of sheep, which are more active than before ready to fight.

Donkeys also smell a strong wind, so they begin to wail.

Sheep and guinea pigs try to keep together if they feel the approach of cold weather.

When rainy weather is foreseen, the wool of the sheep becomes much softer than usual, and when the weather is hot, the wool of the sheep becomes much coarser than usual.

Pigs are actively dragging various rags, straw, leaves into their barn, so expect cold snaps.

If the pigs are crying more than usual, then wait for a strong wind.

Forest animals

Deer are restless before bad weather

Of course, we don’t see forest animals so often, but they can also be used to judge changes in the weather:

Large animals in the forest, such as moose or deer, when bad weather is coming, cannot find a place for themselves, they constantly change their location.

When it rains, a chipmunk makes sounds that resemble a whistle, and if a storm is coming, they start screaming.

Moles, when they feel that there will be a very heavy downpour, dig large holes in the ground, while leaving behind high heaps of earth.

If the beavers actively begin to work at night, it means that they are preparing for the rise of water, that is, everyone is waiting for a heavy downpour.

Frogs, when they feel the approach of a heavy downpour, they get out onto the shore.

Frogs foretell good and sunny weather by organizing a real frog concert in the evening.

Lizards rest on rocks longer than usual when they feel rain is coming soon.

If a squirrel has built its nest high up in a tree, then this year’s winter will not be so severe. And if this forest animal built a nest closer to the ground, then the winter will be severe in frost.

If warm weather is expected, the squirrel is very active, it jumps briskly through the trees.

If you hear mice squeaking under the snow, but they do not get out, then the frost will intensify even more.

If the winter is expected to be severe, then wild hares try to be closer to the human settlement.

Signs with domestic and wild birds

Observations of domestic and wild birds also help to predict the weather:

If a domestic hen, when standing, is constantly pressing one of its paws, then there will be cold snaps.

If in winter the cockerel starts its songs earlier than usual, then the thaw is just around the corner.

In rainy weather, ducks and chickens are in no hurry to hide in the barn, then the rain will end quickly.

If domestic canaries, parrots do not please you with songs, then you should not expect good weather.

Signs with insects

Insects can also be used to judge the weather conditions:

Before rain, mosquitoes bite more aggressively than usual, worms tend to crawl out of the ground before rain, dragonflies can’t find a place for themselves and fly actively, flies buzz even more than usual and strive to get into the human abode, ants close to their houses, fireflies do not shine, bees do not fly far from their houses.

If a ladybug was sitting on you, and then it soared very high up, then good weather will last for several days.

If a ladybug, once on a human hand, does not try to quickly fly away from you, on the contrary, it remains on the hand, crawling slowly, then it may soon be raining.

The spider sits right in the middle of its web, then warm weather is expected. And if he shifted his location to the very edge of the web or even hid somewhere, then expect rain.

If on a summer night you notice that there are a lot of night butterflies, then expect rainy weather soon.

If the grasshoppers put on a concert on a summer evening, then expect good weather.

Folk omens about animals will tell you how to properly handle domestic animals and what threatens to meet with this or that animal. In the past, the behavior of animals predicted the weather.

Folk signs about wild animals

In the past, according to the behavior of wild animals and which of them appeared to the traveler, they judged what awaits a person. Our ancestors believed that animals can warn of future troubles and predict good events.

When a squirrel or a hare jumped out in front of a person on the road, in the old days he had to return to where he came from. This warned travelers that something was wrong in the house, and if you get home in time, you can prevent theft, fire or other troubles. If a hare or a squirrel crosses the road, this promises misfortune.

If there are many hares, the harvest will be poor, especially if they run into the premises. If the hare ran into the house and shouted, someone will die in this house. Where hares are divorced, there will be no mice, and vice versa.

In the old days, it was believed that not always a meeting with wolves threatens with big troubles, or even a funeral. For example, a meeting with an animal that did not touch a person and went about his business brings victory in some business. If the wolf crossed the road, you will have great success. Our ancestors considered any meeting with a wolf that did not end in the death of a person as a sign of happiness and good luck, except if he had prey in his teeth. This takes away good luck for the time that nature will mourn for the animal killed by the wolf.

When meeting with wolves, our ancestors tried to greet and talk in a nice way so that they went their own way. If a wolf appeared in the village, it was a sign of a bad harvest. In order to drive the predator away from the village, in the past they took the head of a dog killed by him, carried it around the whole village and stuck it on a pole, which was placed at the entrance to the village.

If a toad has settled in the garden, it is very good, you should not drive it away. Toads bring happiness.

If a mole digs inside the house, this is for the dead.

Rats and mice appear in houses for trouble.
They need to be disposed of immediately, according to signs, they survive the owners. If these pests are noisy, squeak – to the dead or. Sometimes it was believed that if the mice squeak, there will be a wedding in the house. If the mice are gone, but the rats have appeared, it means that one problem will be replaced by another, and not less at all. Pests leave the house before the fire.

In the old days about how prices will change. If they are heard somewhere under the ceiling, then prices will rise, and under the floor they will fall. If these pests have spoiled part of the goods, then it will quickly go to the buyers. It was considered a particularly good omen if the mice spoiled some of the best goods.

To see a fox – unfortunately.

To hear a frog croaking in the house – to the dead, especially if this frog appears and jumps around the house. To see the first frog this year with its belly up – to the deceased in the family. Kill a frog – to the death of the mother.

To see an earthworm crawling along the road – to an interesting sight or news.

Folk signs about domestic animals

In the old days, women never slaughtered birds, and even more so four-legged livestock. It was considered a sinful occupation for women, it was supposed to be done only by men.

During the slaughter, the person to whom the animal was most tied should not be present. Those who loved him the most in the family are not allowed, otherwise the cattle will fight for his life for a very long time, and his death will be long and painful.

If any animal fell ill, it was determined whether it would survive and whether it makes sense to treat the cattle, as follows. She was given a sniff of tobacco or pepper. If the animal sneezed, it means that it will recover, and if not, they were preparing for its death.

Horses neighing is a good omen. But if the horse sniffs the warrior, he is threatened with an early death. The horse looks downcast and often sighs – to a long journey. If she sneezes on your land – you are not welcome to visit, the road will be empty, on someone else’s – to a good trip to visit. If the horse snorts on the road – to good luck and various pleasant incidents. You can’t ride cats on a horse, otherwise the horse will lose weight or get sick.

You must not approach a horse if you are afraid of it, then it can kill. An animal that was transported with wool or tobacco will be kind. If a horse was carrying a dead person, it cannot be taken on wedding trains, on parade processions and similar events; in the old days, even a beehive was not carried on such horses. He will miss if you don’t ride him to church.

When a cow calved, nothing was given from the house, so that no one could spoil her offspring. They did the same if a horse was foaled or a sheep was lambing. If the cows moo all night – to an unpleasant incident. A cow looking out the window, especially of a black color – to the death of someone in this house. Cows are sold with a pail. You can’t say how much milk a cow gives, so as not to. In order for the cows not to yearn for the dead comrade, an ax is placed at the place of her death.

If a pig squeals, it invites quarrels. To meet her on the road – there will be no way.

The dog broke the window, while being on the street – to troubles from outside the house, for example, to theft. If she broke the window from the inside, the problem will be inside. Dig holes under the windows of the dog to the dead. Dog howling at all times foreshadowed trouble, fires, illness and death. It is especially bad if the dog howls at the house. If she does not finish eating food after the patient, this means that he will not recover.

If a stray dog has come to the court, this portends profit. Dog bites should not be shown to anyone, otherwise they will heal for a long time.

Folk omens about the weather based on animals

Associated with animals, they almost always come true. Animals are able to recognize signs of weather changes earlier than humans. In the old days, this was how the weather would change.

If animals lie down under a canopy, it means rain.

Animals lie in the yard – to warm and clear weather.

When there are a lot of hares near human habitation in autumn, it means that the winter will be very cold and snowy. If they approach housing in the middle of winter, it means that spring will be late, the cold will last a long time.

The snakes appeared too early – the summer will be rainy. If in summer you often see snakes in dry places, autumn will be dry, and in wet places it will be rainy.

If the cat drinks more water than usual, or tears up the walls – to rain. These animals rub against something for warm weather. The cat is fast asleep, especially with its belly up, which means it will be warm. If your pet spreads its paws and tail to the sides, lying in the middle of the room, this portends good weather. Scratches the floor, trees, door or carpet – to the wind or blizzard. There are many that you can learn from the relevant articles on our website.

The horse snores or throws its head up – worsening weather. Sleeping lying down – good weather.

If frogs cry loudly near a pond, it will rain. They do not begin to croak until the first thunder of the year sounds.

Leeches lie at the bottom – for good weather, they rise to the surface of reservoirs only before the rain. If they are restless, there will be wind.

If crayfish crawl ashore, it will rain.

If a pig roars, there will be bad weather. If she drags away the broom, there will be bad weather. A pig rolls on the ground or rolls in the mud – to rain.

Animal weather signs. Folk signs about the weather according to animals Signs of the peoples of Bashkiria for the behavior of animals

Patterns of natural phenomena, revealed as a result of many years of observations of our ancestors, eventually turned into folk signs. By the behavior of animals and birds, as well as other signs, it was possible to find out the nature of the weather for the near future or for the season ahead. Numerous signs of the prediction of nature are plausible today. Knowing them, you can predict planting or harvesting, prepare for impending bad weather, especially away from home and settlements.

Despite the fact that the climate and natural phenomena have changed over several decades, and even more so for centuries, many folk signs still help to reliably determine the weather for the next hours, days, months. Local weather forecasting is based on observation of natural phenomena, celestial bodies.

Cumulus clouds for clear weather

Thus, clear, warm weather means the following signs:

Cumulus clouds

Gray morning sky

Golden evening dawn and clear sky.

In winter, the harbingers of a clear day will be: blue morning sky, morning frost on the trees, rapidly running clouds across the sky. Thick snow in large flakes also means that it will warm up soon. But fine snow, low clouds in the afternoon, mean a long cold snap.

The following signs indicate bad weather, rainy weather:

The sun setting behind a cloud – to rain

There is no dew on the morning grass.

Gray evening sky.

The sun sets behind a cloud in the evening.

Red clouds in the early morning, before sunrise.

Clouds of different shades mean bad weather with different precipitation.

Sharp evening warming

Stuffy air during sunrise.

The water in the river is getting warmer.

Smoke from a chimney or fire spreads along the ground. If it rises in a column, the weather will be fine.

Recognizing folk signs by predicting the weather helps to prepare for a change in the weather.

So, if the whole day was cloudy, and in the evening a strip of cloudless sky appeared in the west, this means a quick change in the weather for the better. And if the rain started before seven o’clock in the morning, then it will stop before eleven o’clock.

Weather forecasting according to folk signs can also be carried out using heavenly bodies. So, brightly burning stars in winter are associated with the onset of a hard frost the next day. But the red moon in winter means warming soon. The month turned upside down also indicates warming, and its bright yellow color means the approach of severe frosts.

In summer, a bright month in the sky means a dry season. If it is not visible in the sky, small precipitation should be expected. A moon in a bluish haze portends a strong storm. A sharp change in the weather is indicated by the fact that the bright stars have darkened sharply.

According to the weather in spring, one can judge summer and autumn: if it is dry, one should expect a cold autumn, and if it is warm, a cold summer with frequent precipitation.

Animal weather prediction

Pets, especially cats, are considered the best harbingers of the weather. So, if during the rain on the street the pet does not curl up, then soon the weather will be clear and sunny. If the cat is stretched out on the floor, the weather will be warm, and when trying to find a warm corner or curl up in a ball, a cold snap or severe frosts are expected in winter. With the restless behavior of this animal, a strong storm can be predicted.

Forecasting weather from other animals, insects and birds:

Swallows in the nest – to a hurricane

If spiders weave long webs, this portends hot and clear weather. If they hide, bad weather will come.

If the dog starts rolling on the ground, rainy weather is coming.

Bees feel the approach of rain well: they begin to swarm near the hive, leave the flowers and gather in small groups. In the same way, dragonflies stray in flocks, fly randomly, and ants seal the passages in the anthill. In addition, if the blood-sucking insects have become especially aggressive, this means that rain is soon approaching.

The loud croaking of frogs portends warm and clear weather. The same thing means the incessant cuckooing from the very morning.

If the roosters start to sing too early in winter, it will get warmer soon.

If the poultry does not hide during the rain, it means that it will be short-lived. When the chickens begin to hide, inclement weather is to be expected.

Swallows hiding under a roof foretell the coming of a hurricane or storm. If they fly low to the ground, it will soon rain, and if they fly high, it will be windy.

Sparrows fly in flocks and fly among the trees about the dry period. If they are too noisy, then it will rain soon, and in winter it means a snowstorm.

A domestic waterfowl diving into the water portends rain. If the ducks are quiet, a thunderstorm should be expected.

Roosters or hens calling to each other herald the approach of inclement weather.

Any bird sitting on the very tops of trees portends bad weather.

If the ducks fly south too early in autumn, the winter will be early, the snow will also fall early.

A month after the rooks arrive, the snow melts.

If a lot of May beetles are seen, then the summer will be hot and dry.

When you go fishing, you can watch the fish – if they are playful in the evening, it means good weather is expected. When she “walks” along the bottom, it will soon begin to rain.

Folk weather predictions based on plants

Weather can be determined not only by the behavior of animals or birds, but also by plants:

A rich harvest of nuts for a cold winter

A harsh and snowy winter promises a rich harvest of nuts, but a small amount of mushrooms in the forest. A large number of acorns and field thistle also portends a cold winter.

The winter will be warm, provided that a lot of sorrel has grown in summer.

To determine what the summer will be like, watching the blossoming leaves on the trees will help: if the first leaves appeared first on the birch, and then on the alder, the summer will be dry and hot, and if vice versa, it will be cold and rainy. The same goes for oak – if it blossomed before ash, the summer will be dry.

A large amount of mountain ash promises a rainy autumn, while a small amount promises a dry one.

Harbingers of impending rain are: the intensification of the smell emitted by honeysuckle, the opening of thorns by burdock, the declining of violets to the ground, the unrolling of calendula corollas, the shrinking of clover. The smell of many trees that secrete resin, sap or nectar is greatly enhanced before rain.

The blossoming maple can be used to judge the onset of the warm season, which means that winter has receded.

By the flowers and leaves of a water lily, one can guess the onset of frost or a prolonged downpour: while the flowers and leaves do not rise from the water.

The beginning of the sowing season has always been marked by the flowering of the juniper in spring.

If the bird cherry has blossomed, it is worth postponing the sowing until the weather gets warmer.

A snowy winter is foreshadowed by rapid autumn leaf fall. Summer will be short and rainy if the birch exudes a lot of sap, and dandelions start to bloom in early spring. Oak, bird cherry blossom to cold weather, frosts. If the oak turns green before the ash, short-term rains with cooling will begin, and if vice versa, prolonged heavy rains will begin.

Mankind in the 21st century, when predicting weather forecasts, increasingly trusts meteorologists, armed in their work with the latest achievements of science and technology. Forecasters from individual countries make short-term and long-term forecasts, which are studied with undisguised interest by ordinary people around the world. And they are not even afraid of the fact that it is often akin to a lottery: they guessed it – honor and praise; made a mistake – well, what can you do, look for a more accurate forecast on another site.

But our predecessors, who did not have the opportunity to look at the Internet, watch TV or listen to the radio, guessed the weather for the coming days on their own, watching wildlife. And quite often, their predictions were based on the behavior of animals, which reacted better than any barometers and weather radars to weather changes.

Perhaps this way of determining the weather for the next few days will seem like an anachronism to someone, someone will treat it with a share of healthy skepticism, they say, in the 21st century, but modern scientists, from all the heights of their authority, officially confirm that they have the ability to predict the weather almost 600 (!) species of animals.

Often such forecasts are much more accurate than modern ones. This can be confirmed by residents of coastal towns and villages, who look with alarm at the behavior of seagulls. If these birds calmly hunt over the sea surface, then there will be no storm in the coming days.

By the way, the imminent appearance of a storm is subtly anticipated by jellyfish, leaving to the depth a few hours before the appearance of wind, rain and huge waves. The appearance of a storm can also be determined by the behavior of other crustacean creatures (crabs and other arthropods), which, when the elements approach, come ashore. The same tendency (to predict the appearance of rain) is also characteristic of crayfish living in fresh water – before the rain they crawl out onto the shore.

Subtly feel the approach of bad weather and various insects. For example, butterflies hide in dry shelters, bees gather in hives, and ants close up all the exits in the anthill at a fast pace. Horseflies and gadflies before bad weather and rainy days become very ferocious, and bite everyone indiscriminately.

Mosquitoes and other midges behave in the same way. Dragonflies begin to fuss chaotically, and in clear weather they soar majestically in the air, as if emphasizing all their nobility. The cricket usually falls silent before the rain.

Ordinary aquarium fish are also considered good weather forecasters. For example, such a small freshwater fish as char is most sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure. In dry and stable weather, it lies peacefully at the bottom of the aquarium, but a few hours before it starts to rain, it begins its fussy movements near the aquarium glasses, and just before the rain, it sways restlessly up and down. Even novice fishermen know that the fish jumps violently out of the water and does not regale on any of the baits just before the rain.

Without a barometer at hand, it is worth taking a closer look at the leeches. In clear weather, they calmly crawl along the stems of aquatic plants or along the bottom of the reservoir, and restlessly move to the surface of the reservoir, and in some cases even crawl out onto the shore.

Frogs are no less remarkable living weather forecasters. By the way they croak, you can determine the weather for the coming days – with flooding croaking, sunny days are expected, and when their songs sound muffled, it will be bad weather. And also, depending on the nearest weather conditions, the frogs change their skin color – before bad weather they become gray, and before clear sunny weather they acquire a slightly yellowish tint. If the frogs sit in the water, then you can not be afraid of rain, but when they jump along the shore, then there will certainly be precipitation.

Different birds can perfectly guess the coming changes in the weather. We will not dwell on swallows once again, we will only say that sparrows begin “dust bathing” and spread their feathers, and orioles and finches change the tone of their songs. Domestic chickens before bad weather for a perch look for higher places. Before good weather, most birds sing melodiously.

To be a good predictor of the weather in the animal world, one does not need to be as small as insects, fish and birds, larger animals can also successfully cope with this task.

So cats and dogs, who have become close friends of man, better than any meteorologists will tell you the weather for the next few days by their behavior. When the cat curled up into a ball and hid its nose, then this is for the cold, and if it stretched to its full height, then this is for the weather and heat; when the cat hides its head and licks its tail, this is a sure sign of rain in the coming days.

The dog, before the rain, maliciously digs the ground. If a cow, raising its head up, greedily sniffs the air, and then licks its lips, then this is bad weather. Mistresses have long noticed that if the nurse began to give less milk, then this is to rain. In addition, all large domestic animals eat food greedily in the evening before a rainy day.

Unfortunately, most of these signs are difficult to verify for residents of megacities, because not many animals surround them in buildings made of concrete and glass, but, on the other hand, it is always easier for them to hide from raindrops.

Another thing is the villagers, especially those who go on a long journey or a considerable distance from any shelters; they should take a closer look at the behavior of birds and animals, as well as listen to the sounds of wildlife.

Today, to find out the exact forecast, you just need to go to the appropriate site on the Internet. Previously, every evening and every morning, everyone was waiting for the weather to be announced by a pretty girl on the screen, and even earlier, people watched the external environment in order to understand what kind of weather conditions await them. So there were folk signs about the weather according to animals, plants and natural phenomena.

Animal behavior weather prediction

Animal observation

Of course, in the past, when people encountered the forest more often, they watched forest animals and drew conclusions about what the weather would be like for them. Today, when most people live in apartments, far from the wild, we have nothing left to do but monitor the behavior of our pets.

However, this can be a very interesting activity. We are constantly watching our beloved domestic cats and dogs, birds. So, what else should we include and include a slightly different vector of observation. Namely, how does the behavior of our pets depend on the upcoming weather conditions? First, consider signs about the weather according to the behavior of animals, the most common of them.

Signs about dogs

These animal weather signs will be most interesting to read to those who have a dog in the house:

If your dog curls up in the fall, it means you are waiting for bad weather, usually it happens before frost.

The dog, on the contrary, lies on the floor, stretched out to its full height, which means that it will soon become warmer than it is now on the street. The dog smells it.

The dog stretched out to its full height, rolls from side to side and waves its head in different directions, which means, most likely, expect rain and strong winds in the coming days.

A dog on the street actively chews grass, digs holes all over the yard and now and then asks for an additional portion of food, which means that cold snaps are coming. Thus, the animal tries to gain fat in order to endure the cold, such behavior is inherent in instincts.

The dog is actively scratching his back, trying to eat snow, which means that soon there will be even more severe frosts.

Signs with cats

Changes in the weather can also be predicted by cat owners:

In cold weather, cats, like dogs, try to sleep curled up.

Signs associated with the behavior of a cat say that if the cat is looking for a place to hide, then it says that the heat will come soon.

You can start taking out warm clothes if the cat is cuddling up to you all the time and trying to fall asleep right on top of you. Some people think that in this way the cat shows love. It, of course, can be so, but also, in this way, the cat is trying to warm itself from your body.

And if the cat, on the contrary, avoids contact with you, tries to lie down, away from the person, then it will soon be very hot and the cat simply does not need you as an additional source of heat.

Folk signs related to the behavior of animals on weather changes say that if a cat sneezes, then it will rain soon.

All cats in the world, as well as dogs, on the eve of hot weather stretch right on the floor and expose their belly. If a very strong heat is coming, then the cat lies down right in the draft.

If the cat also hides its nose in its paws when curling into a ball, it means that there will soon be severe cold snaps.

Folk signs associated with animals say that if warm and calm weather is coming, then the cat licks itself and actively smooths the hair on its head.

Signs with livestock

Of course, there are folk signs associated with livestock:

If horses and cows often demand additional portions of food, then soon there will be bad weather, animals do this when they feel that they need to eat for future use.

In the evening before heavy rain, cows usually lose milk

If a cow hurries to leave the pasture and go to the barn without asking too much, then it will be colder.

In a dream, the horse makes snoring sounds and actively shakes its head, it will probably get colder, so it can portend rain. If the horse snorts in a dream, then it smells hot weather.

Warm weather is coming – the horses are trying to lie down on the floor. If the horses try to stay on their feet, then expect bad weather to come.

A strong wind promises the behavior of sheep, which are more active than before ready to fight.

Donkeys also smell a strong wind, so they begin to wail.

Sheep and guinea pigs try to keep together if they feel the approach of cold weather.

When rainy weather is foreseen, the wool of the sheep becomes much softer than usual, and when the weather is hot, the wool of the sheep becomes much coarser than usual.

Pigs are actively dragging various rags, straw, leaves into their barn, so expect cold snaps.

If the pigs are crying more than usual, then wait for a strong wind.

Forest animals

Deer are restless before bad weather

Of course, we do not have to observe forest animals so often, but they can also be used to judge changes in the weather:

Large animals in the forest, such as moose or deer, when bad weather is coming, can not find a place for themselves, they constantly change their location.

When it rains, a chipmunk makes sounds that resemble a whistle, and if a storm is coming, they start screaming.

Moles, when they feel that there will be a very heavy downpour, dig large holes in the ground, while leaving behind high heaps of earth.

If the beavers actively begin to work at night, it means that they are preparing for the rise of water, that is, everyone is waiting for a heavy downpour.

Frogs, when they feel the approach of a heavy downpour, they get out onto the shore.

Frogs foretell good and sunny weather by organizing a real frog concert in the evening.

Lizards rest on rocks longer than usual when they feel rain is coming soon.

If a squirrel has built its nest high up in a tree, then this year’s winter will not be so severe. And if this forest animal built a nest closer to the ground, then the winter will be severe in frost.

If warm weather is expected, the squirrel is very active, it jumps briskly through the trees.

If you hear mice squeaking under the snow, but they do not get out, then the frost will intensify even more.

If the winter is expected to be severe, then wild hares try to be closer to the human settlement.

Signs with domestic and wild birds

Watching domestic and wild birds also helps predict the weather:

If a domestic hen, when standing, constantly presses one of her paws, then there will be cold snaps.

If in winter the cockerel starts its songs earlier than usual, then the thaw is just around the corner.

In rainy weather, ducks and chickens are in no hurry to hide in the barn, then the rain will end quickly.

If domestic canaries, parrots do not please you with songs, then you should not expect good weather.

Signs with insects

And insects can tell weather conditions:

Before rain, mosquitoes bite more aggressively than usual, worms tend to crawl out of the ground before rain, dragonflies can’t find a place for themselves and fly actively, flies buzz even more than usual and try to get into the human abode, ants close to their houses, fireflies do not shine, bees do not fly far from their houses.

If a ladybug was sitting on you, and then it soared very high up, then good weather will last for several days.

If a ladybug, once on a human hand, does not try to quickly fly away from you, on the contrary, it remains on the hand, crawling slowly, then it may soon be raining.

The spider sits right in the middle of its web, then warm weather is expected. And if he shifted his location to the very edge of the web or even hid somewhere, then expect rain.

If on a summer night you notice that there are a lot of night butterflies, then expect rainy weather soon.

If the grasshoppers put on a concert on a summer evening, then expect good weather.

Finding out the exact weather forecast today is not at all difficult.
Not many of us are ready to trust the experience of distant ancestors in order to independently predict this or that weather phenomenon, and why, it is enough to turn on the TV to get the most reliable information on this issue. Keeping up with the times, modern people are moving away from nature every day, which, in spite of everything, continues to send them its signals, using the language of ancient signs and observations diligently collected by our distant ancestors.

The animals that surround us in everyday life can serve as wonderful harbingers of weather changes, one has only to look closely at them.
Sometimes such a weather forecast can turn out to be much more true than the promises of weather forecasters based on the use of the most modern technologies.

Natural instincts

Determining the weather with the help of signs related to the behavior of animals is very simple. Many of them hide in secluded places before the onset of bad weather or behave restlessly . One has only to carefully observe them, and then correctly interpret their behavior.
Animals are able to predict not only bad weather, but also clear sunny days, then they behave calmly and with all their appearance show a person that everything is fine.

Cat observations

These animals are perhaps the most sensitive to changes in weather conditions. Many folk signs are associated with them, here are the most common of them:

If the cat sneezes, then it will rain;

Licks his fur – invites bad weather;

It scratches behind the ear – to be snow or rain;

Licks the tail, which means a blizzard should be expected;

Curls into a ball – there will be frost;

In a dream, he hides his muzzle in his paws or under his belly – bad weather and cold will come soon;

If the cat sleeps sweetly with its belly turned upwards – to be warm and hot sun;

Raises the hind leg, which means there will be windy weather;

Smoothes the hair on the head while washing with paws – the weather will be fine;

Sharpens claws on the legs of a chair – to variable weather events.

Dog observations

Faithful four-legged friends are good at feeling temperature fluctuations, both in the air and on the surface of the earth, so they can also accurately predict the weather
.

If the dog sways in different directions, lying on its back, there will be windy weather;

Lying on the grass – to be rain and wind;

Rolling in the snow – to a blizzard;

Chasing each other in the snow – the thaw will come soon;

The dog curls up – to the onset of cold weather;

If there is snow – to worsen the weather;

If one eats grass in spring or summer, one should wait for rain;

Riding on his back in winter – to the onset of frost;

If it gets into the water, it will soon rain;

When a dog starts eating little and sleeping a lot, the weather will soon change for the worse.

Other animals

If you have the opportunity to observe the forest dwellers or any other domestic animals, you can, at least every day, make your own personal weather forecast.
It’s so simple and exciting.

A squirrel that nests too low feels a frosty winter. If she makes her house high, the winter will not be too severe;

Forest chipmunks always scream loudly before a thunderstorm;

Rams and sheep pushing their foreheads – be a strong wind;

Hares get closer to human habitation – to the harsh winter;

Horses wheeze loudly before bad weather, with the onset of warm weather they begin to snort, and in anticipation of heavy rain they shake their heads and throw them back up;

Anticipating dampness, the horses lie down on the ground. This usually happens in the summer. In winter, such behavior portends rain;

If the singing of frogs has died down in the swamp, it means that frost will soon come;

A loud frog choir in any body of water signifies the approaching heavy rain;

Cows before the rain begin to actively graze the grass, as if trying to eat for future use;

Any livestock that huddle together feels the onset of bad weather;

Almost all cows start to lose milk before rainy weather;

If moles rake up heaps higher, it means that bad weather is coming soon;

Mice running out from under the snow anticipate an imminent thaw;

A strong squeak of mice is heard in anticipation of a severe cold snap;

Domestic pigs feel strong frosts well and closely huddle together;

Before the storm, you can see how the pigs begin to actively pull the straw and burrow deep into the depths.

Passing from one mouth to another, weather signs associated with animals have survived to this day. To believe or not to believe is a personal matter for everyone. However, touching the deepest folk wisdom, through unity with nature and our smaller brothers, will appeal to many, making each of us a little more attentive to the world around us.

For our ancestors – hunters, cattle breeders, farmers – the weather was of vital importance. It will rain in time, there will be bread in the fields, and cattle in pastures, and an animal in the forest. A drought will begin, frost will hit early or a thunderstorm will break out in the middle of a hayfield, do not expect good. Therefore, in ancient times, every zealous owner knew at least a hundred weather signs and actively used them. Animals were considered especially faithful “barometers”.

Furry, scaly and eight-legged weather forecasters

Even official science does not deny the fact that animals and birds are endowed with sensitivity to changes in nature. They learn about the approach of an earthquake almost faster than seismological sensors. Capture the slightest fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. Much earlier than a person, they notice a change in soil temperature, air humidity and wind direction … Or maybe they have an additional sixth sense! In any case, it makes sense to take a closer look at the behavior of a pet. It can be not only entertaining, but also useful.

How to determine the weather by the behavior of domestic and wild animals

Most of the signs went to the beast living side by side with man. It is clear: whoever was seen next to him more often was watched more closely. And the first in a row of fluffy weather forecasters is a tailed and mustachioed exterminator of mice, without which not a single peasant farm could do.

Cat

The cat cleans up its paws – hope for good weather

If a pet clings to a warm radiator, persistently climbs onto the master’s knees, curls up in a tight ball, hides its nose in wool or covers its muzzle with its paw, frosts are coming.

If it spreads freely on the floor, the thaw will begin soon. Well, when at the same time the cat diligently washes its muzzle with its paw – you can safely tune in to fine days.
Even if a storm with hail rages outside the window, they do not last long.

The cat begins to scrape with its claws everything that turns under its paw: the floor, the walls, the front door? In summer, the sign portends a strong wind, in winter – a blizzard.

If Murka sits on the windowsill and looks out the window for a long time, warm weather will set in from day to day.

Will turn its tail to the glass and expose its back to the sun’s rays – the cold will drag on. If it happens in winter, expect snowfall.

When the “room tiger” sleeps soundly and sweetly, and when he is awake he plays with pleasure, folk signs predict sunny weather and thaws. Or you take good care of your mini-predator, and in your house he is healthy and happy.

If a cat licks its tail, chews grass or sneezes, rainfall is to be expected. Sometimes cat vomiting is also considered a sign of wet weather, but here it is better not to rely on the wisdom of the ancestors, but to take care of the health of the pet.
There is a possibility that she ate something wrong.

Dilated pupils of a cat are considered by some to help detect an increase in atmospheric pressure. You can conduct an experiment by personally checking Barsik’s “testimony” with the official barometer data. But make allowances for the accompanying circumstances. Perhaps only the lighting is to blame for the size of the cat’s pupil.

Dog

In winter, dogs frolic in a blizzard, in summer – in the rain

No less accurate weather forecast for tomorrow is given by another closest friend of man.

The dog curls up in a ball – to a cold snap.

Stretches out on the ground, spreading its paws in different directions – to warming.

Lying on his back, waving his head from side to side and rolling from side to side – to rainy weather.

If the tailed predictor chews grass, enthusiastically digs holes in the garden and plays with other dogs, the omen portends bad weather. It will be all the more likely if the animal begins to beg for additional portions of food, as if trying to work up fat before cold and slushy weather.

The dog scratches its back on the crust and eats snow – frosts will begin.

Livestock

Cows lean heavily on food – wait for rain

Cows and horses try to eat before the rain.

In the evening on the eve of a heavy downpour, cows’ milk decreases.

The cow voluntarily hurries from the pasture to the barn – the first frosts are approaching.

If the horse snores and shakes his head, he smells rain, if he snorts – sunny weather.

Horses lie down in the heat, stay standing in the cold.

Before a strong wind, the rams become pugnacious, and the donkeys begin to wail.

Sheep and pigs huddle together, anticipating a cold snap.

Sheep wool becomes softer in wet weather, and coarsens when no rain is expected.

If the pigs drag rags, straw and leaves into the pigsty, they are preparing for a thunderstorm with violent winds. If they squeal often and loudly, there will be a blizzard.

Wild animals

Chipmunks move to higher ground before the flood

Large forest dwellers – deer and elk – do not find a place for themselves before bad weather and often change their “deployment”.

Chipmunks whistle in alarm at the rain, and scream at a strong storm.

If the moles climb to the surface, leaving behind high heaps of earth, there will be a downpour.

Do beavers work at night? They are in a hurry to prepare for the rise of water – they are waiting for a thunderstorm.

Frogs come ashore before heavy downpours.

If in the evenings a many-voiced frog concert sounds over the water, tomorrow will be a good day.

When lizards foresee wet weather, they freeze on large stones, as if in a hurry to bask in the sun.

If you are lucky enough to spot a squirrel’s nest, estimate how far it is from the ground. Closer to the top of the tree – the winter will be mild. If the animal decided not to climb high, crack this year in severe frosts.

When warm days are coming, the squirrel is lively and jumps a lot in the trees.

If a tailed nut lover takes it into her head to run over the crust in severe cold, this is a sure sign that the thaw is not far off.

The same promise and voles, in the dead of winter, got out from under the snowdrifts.

But if the mice squeak under the snow, not trying to look out into the white light, they smell an increase in frost.

Before the cold winter, hares try to get close to the human settlement.

A sign from the inhabitants of the steppe: before a snowstorm, saigas run en masse into the bush in search of shelter.

Domestic and wild birds

A hen pressing its paw heralds a cold snap

A chicken clenches one paw when it anticipates a cold snap.

The rooster starts to sing earlier than usual in winter – it celebrates the coming thaw.

When it rains, don’t chickens and ducks rush to hide? And don’t be in a hurry, the clouds will soon dissipate.

On the other hand, if the ducks crowd on a hill, the rain will be long and heavy.

Domestic songbirds – canaries, parrots and other cute living creatures – are sadly silent? Don’t count on warmth.

Other feathered forecasters

Many have known since childhood: swallows fly low before the rain

Migratory birds stay closer to the ground before a harsh winter, before a warm one they rise high into the sky.

If the nightingale sang all night incessantly, he tried for the future: for several days in a row the wind would not allow the poor fellow to perform his arias.

In winter, sparrows burrow into the straw before a blizzard.

In the summer they make noise and bathe in the sand, promising the connoisseurs that they will accept the rain.

Before a drought flocks of sparrows are worried and scurry from tree to tree.

The bullfinch sings – the blizzard calls.

Magpies hide under roofs before bitter frosts, and swallows before a storm.

If the cuckoo crowed from morning to evening, a thaw will come. It’s funny that in America this prediction is read exactly the opposite: the cold will come if the cuckoo calls all day long.

Rooks return home a month before the snow melts.

If swallows appeared, soon there will be the first spring thunderstorm.

Birds gather on the upper branches of trees for warmer weather.

Insects

The chirping of a grasshopper promises good weather

Every insect feels the approach of rain – mosquitoes get angrier, earthworms get out of the ground, dragonflies rush about, flies buzz furiously and rush into the house, ants close the anthill, fireflies do not burn, and bees do not fly away from the hives.

If a ladybug easily took off from your hand, sunny weather will last until the evening. If it hesitates, crawls over the body and tries to hide in the sleeve or hide between the fingers, it will start to rain.

The spider sat in the center of the web – it will be warm. Hiding on its edge or crawling under a leaf – it smells bad weather.

The abundance of night butterflies speaks of a cold snap.

The loud chorus of grasshoppers in the evening portends good weather.

Fish

In Japan, aquarium fish are kept in offices as weather forecasters

Fish jumping out of the water – rain is inevitable. Everything is logical: midges fly low in humid air, and scaly hunters are right there.

If your aquarium loach is restless, expect bad weather.

Before a thunderstorm, decorative catfish lie motionless for a long time in one place or, following the example of a loach, fuss and rush from corner to corner.

Signs of the peoples of the world

Their nomads, tillers and dashing trappers can be found among the ancestors of any nation. That is why signs about the weather – original, amazing, funny – are in every country. For example:

The British believe that a cricket can successfully replace not only a barometer, but also a thermometer
. One has only to count how many times the little singer will chirp in a minute, and you will know the air temperature. Naturally, in degrees Fahrenheit, since the Celsius scale is not popular on the British continent.

On the sea coast of France, tricolor cats are respected for their ability to feel the approach of a storm. In addition, they believe here: if a cat rubs its nose with its paw, it predicts the wind, if it scratches behind the ear, it predicts rain.

If leeches hide under shore stones, Germany is preparing for a thunderstorm.

If the ducks in the yard began to desperately flap their wings, rain or snow is expected in Bulgaria.

There is a similar sign in India, but there the role of the predictor of rain is given to a chicken with spread wings.

In Iran, they believe that sheep spin with their ears, sensing bad weather.

In Spain, they start looking for an umbrella when they hear a goat sneezing.

In Ireland, it is customary to trust not a horned dereza, but a singing sandpiper. If you shouted – wait for the flow of water from the sky.

In China they know: midges in a cloud – rain is inevitable.

But in Holland it is considered a bad omen to hear midges buzzing in January. The year will be lean and therefore hungry.

In Japan, they are vigilantly watching whether coastal fish go to the open sea. The shoals stretched away from the land – there will be either an earthquake or a tsunami. In any case, no good.

An American omen says that pikes lie on the bottom before bad weather.

The Brazilian will be upset when he finds an anthill in the bed of a dried up river – this sign portends 12 months of drought.

Video: Folk ways to predict the weather in the modern world

In today’s world, some signs lose their meaning along with climate change. Others are changing. But most of them have survived to this day, confirming their truthfulness and sharp observation of the ancient “naturalists”. Knowing them, and using some from time to time, does not hurt anyone.

Animal folk omens about the weather help to predict upcoming events and predict related changes in climatic conditions.

Animal signs

Pets, who are constantly next to the owner, help to judge the upcoming weather changes.

Cats

Cats predict the onset of frost if:

huddle up to a warm radiator in an apartment, sit on a warm stove in a house, or are not ready to crawl from their master’s knees, curling up in a ball,

hide their nose in wool,

cover the nose with a paw.

A cold snap is also indicated by the gnashing of cat’s claws on the floor, wall and furniture. In summer, this portends strong winds, in winter – a blizzard. The cat, which has turned to the window and put its back under the warmth of the sun, says that the cold will drag on.

If a cat cleans its paws with its tongue, it means a clear day.

A cat spread out on the floor is waiting for a thaw, and its long wakefulness and long sitting on the windowsill will tell you about the onset of heat. This is due to the increasing solar heat.

An increase in atmospheric pressure is judged by dilated cat pupils.

Dogs

Dogs are among the animals whose behavior is highly predictive of upcoming weather changes:

curl up and hide their nose – this is for the cold,

they stretch out and spread their paws around – you have to wait for heat,

rains promise side-to-side dog riding,

A dog that eats snow and scratches its back in winter predicts the coming of frost.

Livestock

Animal behavioral weather signs are available from farmers who own livestock.

Horses

Horses usually eat grass for future use and wheeze, shaking their mane, before the rain comes. In sunny weather, they snort and lie down on the ground.

Cows

On the eve of heavy rain, farmers are seeing a decrease in milk yield. Before the upcoming frosts, a herd of cows usually rush home.

Sheep

Anticipating the coming frosts, sheep and lambs huddle together. In the summer, before the rains, their coat becomes soft, and coarsens on warm and sunny days. Before strong winds, rams notice an increase in pugnacity.

Pigs

Preparing for thunderstorms or a strong hurricane, pigs begin to drag straw and foliage into the barn, and in winter, before a snowstorm, they squeal loudly.

Wild animals

Hunters predict weather changes by the behavior of wild animals. So, about the change of heat to bad weather he says:

frequent change of location of large animals: elk or deer,

chipmunks alarm whistle,

frequent appearance of moles on the surface, they leave behind high heaps,

active raft building by beavers at night,

lizards motionless basking on stones,

frogs that have come ashore.

Be warm if:

squirrels jumping excitedly up trees,

frogs croak with many voices.

In winter, voles, which begin to get out of snowdrifts, will tell you about the onset of a thaw, and mice squeaking under the snow and hares that come close to a person’s dwelling will tell you about the upcoming frosts.

Birds

According to the behavior of domestic and wild birds in the world, the weather for the coming days is judged.

Poultry

In the foreboding of warmth, according to popular belief, the chicken begins to shake its paws, and the song parrots and canaries are silent. Before warming, the rooster gets up earlier than usual, and chickens and ducks do not go indoors.

If poultry gather in groups on a hill, this means that they are waiting for prolonged rains.

Wild birds

They say about bad weather:

sparrows bathing in the sand in autumn,

bullfinch singing in winter,

the nightingale that sings non-stop at night,

swallows flying low.

Before the warm weather, the cuckoo calls all night long, and the sparrows scurry between the trees. The birds sitting on the top of the trees will also tell you about the upcoming clear day.

People’s signs about the weather according to animals, how to predict by their behavior

In the modern world, weather forecasters daily provide a weather forecast that can be found on TV or on Internet sites. However, despite technological progress and convenience, some people prefer to determine the weather on their own, based on signs associated with animals. This is the method our ancestors used.

Animals and birds not only served as food, protected homes and were pets, but were also accurate barometers. Although unusual, weather omens based on observations of animal behavior sometimes give more accurate results than meteorological stations.

What animals predict the weather

If we consider folk omens about the weather according to animals, then many representatives of the fauna become prophets in this matter. The behavior of toads and frogs before the rain is familiar even to schoolchildren. Many have also heard about the bathing of birds in dust or puddles. The list of predictors included pets, cattle, and the host bird.

Wild and domestic birds, forest animals, rodents, cows and goats also became barometers. Rural residents are still looking closely at the behavior, sounds that animals make.

Forest animals

Deer are restless before bad weather

Of course, we don’t see forest animals so often, but they can also be used to judge changes in the weather:

Large animals, such as elk in the forest or deer, when bad weather is coming, cannot find a place for themselves in any way, they constantly change their place of location.

When it rains, a chipmunk makes sounds that resemble a whistle, and if a storm is coming, they start screaming.

Moles, when they feel that there will be a very heavy downpour, dig large holes in the ground, while leaving behind high heaps of earth.

If the beavers actively start working at night, it means that they are preparing for the rise of water, that is, everyone is waiting for a heavy downpour.

Frogs, when they feel the approach of a heavy downpour, they get out onto the shore.

Good and sunny weather is foreshadowed by frogs by organizing a real frog concert in the evening.

Lizards rest on rocks longer than usual when they feel rain is coming soon.

If a squirrel has built its nest high up in a tree, then this year’s winter will not be so severe. And if this forest animal built a nest closer to the ground, then the winter will be severe in frost.

If warm weather is expected, the squirrel is very active, it jumps animatedly through the trees.

If you hear mice squeaking under the snow, but they do not get out, then the frost will intensify even more.

If the winter is expected to be severe, then wild hares try to be closer to the human settlement.

How animals predict the weather

People’s signs about the weather are based on observing the behavior of animals. Most often focused on pets. This is not surprising. They live nearby, and close study helped to compile a list of predictions.

Cat

According to popular belief, cats are able to be in two worlds at the same time. The lion’s share of superstitions associated with furry brethren relates to the protection of the home and household. But cats also predict the weather. Popular signs are:

sharpening his claws on furniture – evidence of a rapid change in weather;

washing and smoothing while washing – the weather is stable, warm, calm;

the higher he lifts his hind leg up for no reason, the stronger the wind will be. If you pay attention to the position of the cat at this moment, you can determine which side it will be windy;

sleeps with his belly up – promises warm, hot weather without wind and clouds;

covers its muzzle with its paws, tries to curl up into a tight ball – a sharp cold snap is expected. In winter – severe frosts;

thoroughly washes the tail on a winter evening – expect snow drifts, blizzards. In summer, indicates heat and intense heat;

sneezes indicates rain. The longer the sneezes, the longer the rainy weather.

Dog

Dogs are more accurate weather forecasters. In a few days, animals feel the deterioration of the weather, earthquakes, any fluctuations in the air. The accuracy of predictions is high if there are no sick family members in the house. Otherwise, dogs will pay more attention to the patient, and not to weather changes. Usually you can guess a lot from dogs:

rides on his back – a strong wind will rise;

bathes in snow tries to fall out in it – snowstorm for 2-3 days;

constantly asks to go into the water to swim – prolonged rain with a high degree of probability with a thunderstorm;

abruptly began to eat grass – soon the rainy season will come;

curls up tight – it is worth getting warm clothes. Sharp cooling with a significant drop in temperature;

digs into the snow – a thaw is coming.

Livestock

Folk signs about the weather associated with animals also apply to large, medium-sized cattle. Cows, sheep, goats are the same barometers, excellent indicators of temperature decrease / increase:

cows began to eat a lot – soon expect a thunderstorm, snowstorms, snow or hail. Depends on the season;

dairy animals began to produce less milk – rainy or snowy weather will last for several more days;

livestock rushing home from the pasture – strong bad weather is approaching;

horses portend warm and sunny days if they snort . Snoring means rain, wind;

horses, rams lie down on bedding – to be warm;

cattle before the rain will definitely start a fight;

donkeys before the weather changes, they cry for no reason, they try to go under the roof;

after shearing, growing wool of sheep : coarse – for heat, soft – for cold;

pigs are able to show when there will be snowstorms, snowfalls and frosts. In front of them, pigs pull straw, rags, leaves into the barn.

Wild animals

Wild animals predict the weather more accurately. Their lives depend on it. Therefore, they make a forecast about bad weather a few days before the onset of bad weather:

moose, deer – become nervous, hide in thickets, look for new places to live;

hares – move closer to people before the cold snap;

voles and lizards – active, basking in the morning on the rocks, which means they expect damp weather or strong winds.

Domestic and wild birds

You can get a prediction not only for animals. Chickens and ducks are good predictors of the weather, not only wild, but also domestic. Raising and kneading its paws, the chicken portends a decrease in temperature. The rooster crows at the wrong time in winter – an indicator of the onset of an imminent thaw.

If domestic and wild birds do not hide when it rains, the sun will come out quickly.

Other feathered forecasters

Determining the weather from the birds already mentioned is not all known signs. You can also determine changes in weather conditions by other birds:

swallows fly low – to rain;

sparrows sit in a heap of hay, hide in the bushes – to a sharp cold snap. And flocks of sparrows indicate drought;

the jackdaws decided to bathe in the sand, dust – a clear indication that there will be heavy rain;

bullfinches sing to the blizzard. The sign about the hiding magpie has the same meaning;

if the cuckoo is silent for days on end – expect cold weather. Cooking without stopping – it will rain, fog, and in winter – a thaw;

the rook is back – in exactly 30 days the snow will completely melt;

hear the first thunder , so the swallows have arrived.

Insects

The weather can be known not only by the behavior of animals, but also by insects:

grasshoppers do not stop – a sunny day is guaranteed;

spiders freeze in the middle of the web – to heat and sun;

midges swarm and hide in the foliage – they call for bad weather. The same sign is about mosquitoes.

Fish

Previously, the weather was determined and predicted by aquatic inhabitants – fish:

jump out of the water – rain;

hiding at the bottom – heat, drought;

worried, there is increased activity – bad weather.

Moles

Such an animal as a mole, by its behavior indicates the approach of rains. Folk signs relate to holes: animals leave large earthen mounds – a harbinger of long rainy days.

Squirrels

Take a closer look at the nests of squirrels. Since it is not the animals that predict the weather, but their houses. The higher it is, the warmer the winter. The liveliness of the beauties indicates good weather.

Signs with livestock

Of course, there are folk signs associated with livestock:

eat for the future.

In the evening before a heavy rain, cows usually lose their milk

If a cow hurries to leave the pasture and go to the barn without any extra request, then it will be cold.

In the dream, the horse makes snoring sounds and actively shakes its head, it will probably get cold, so it may portend rain. If the horse snorts in a dream, then it smells hot weather.

Warm weather is coming – the horses are trying to lie down on the floor. If the horses try to stay on their feet, then expect bad weather to come.

A strong wind promises the behavior of sheep, which are more active than before, ready to join the fight.

Donkeys also smell a strong wind, so they begin to wail.

Sheep and guinea pigs try to keep together if they feel the approach of cold weather.

If rainy weather is foreseen, then the wool of the sheep becomes much softer than usual, and when the weather is hot, the wool of the sheep becomes much coarser than usual.

Pigs are actively dragging various rags, straw, leaves into their barn, so expect cold weather.

If the pigs are crying more than usual, then wait for a strong wind.

Signs with insects

Insects can also be used to judge weather conditions:

Before rain, mosquitoes bite more aggressively than usual; abode, ants close to their houses, fireflies do not shine, bees do not fly far from their houses.

If a ladybug sat on you, and then it soared very high, then good weather will last for several days.

If a ladybug, once on a human hand, does not try to quickly fly away from you, on the contrary, it remains on the hand, crawling slowly, then it will probably rain soon.

The spider sits right in the middle of its web, then warm weather is expected. And if he shifted his location to the very edge of the web or even hid somewhere, then expect rain.

If on a summer night you notice that there are a lot of night butterflies, then expect rainy weather soon.

If the grasshoppers put on a concert on a summer evening, then expect good weather.

Signs with fish

Even by fish, you can judge what the expected weather is:

If the fish actively jump high above the water, then expect it to rain. This is because at high humidity, small flies fly low over the water, and fish try to eat them in a jump.

If the loach fish that lives in the aquarium is seen in restless behavior, then expect bad weather.

Ornamental catfish, waiting for heavy rain, lie in one place without moving or, on the contrary, behave extremely restlessly.

There are also signs associated with plants and natural phenomena.

Dog Observations

Faithful four-legged friends sense temperature fluctuations both in the air and on the surface of the earth, so they can also accurately predict the weather .

If the dog sways in different directions, lying on its back, it will be windy;

Lying on the grass – be rain and wind;

Rolling in the snow – to a blizzard;

Chasing each other in the snow – the thaw will come soon;

The dog curls up – to the onset of cold weather;

If there is snow, the weather will worsen;

If you eat grass in spring or summer, you should wait for rain;

Riding on the back in winter – before the onset of frost;

If it gets into the water, it will rain soon;

When a dog starts eating little and sleeping a lot, the weather will soon change for the worse.

Omens with domestic and wild birds

Observations of domestic and wild birds also help to predict the weather:

If a domestic hen, when standing, constantly draws one of her paws, then there will be cold snaps.

If in winter the cockerel starts its songs earlier than usual, then the thaw is just around the corner.

In rainy weather, ducks and chickens are in no hurry to hide in the barn, then the rain will end quickly.

If domestic canaries, parrots do not please you with songs, then you should not expect good weather.

What was April like in the Sikhote-Alin Reserve

05/11/2011 16:43

The bright April evening burned out,

6
A cold dusk fell over the meadows.

Rooks are sleeping; distant sound of the stream

Mysteriously stalled in the dark.

And spring in a green grove

Waiting for the dawn, holding your breath, –

Sensitively listens to the rustle of trees,

Vigilantly looks into the dark fields.

Ivan Bunin

Passed April – the second month of spring. April began with a small snowball, covering the ground with a thin layer of 1 cm. The first decade was warm in spring, up to + 28 ° C in the afternoon of April 5, although at times a cold sea fog crept in, and the weather sometimes changed several times a day. During this decade, on the coast, the snow has almost melted in the valleys, leaving patches on the northern slopes and high ridges. But in the middle and upper reaches of the rivers of the eastern slopes, in places even at the beginning of the third decade, there was a loose snow cover 10-20 cm high.

There were few warm days in the second decade, the daily air temperature was within +10°C. At the end of the decade, continuous low clouds covered the sky for a long time, a strong cold northeast wind was blowing, bringing rare prickly snowflakes from afar.

This continuous cloudiness continued to hang over us at the beginning of the third decade, bursting on April 23 with sleet and rain, accompanied by an easterly squally wind at an air temperature of +1 ° C during the day. On the passes, 30-40 cm of wet snow fell overnight. On Easter, April 24, the wind died down, a rare drizzle drizzled, a blue sky peeked out in rare gaps between the clouds, and snow-covered hills sparkled with whiteness. Unstable weather continued until the end of April with air temperature within +10°С, more often lower and very rarely higher. Heavy clouds were either running across the sky, then gaps were turning blue again, and a strong north wind threw charges of prickly raindrops, and by evening the sun was shining. On April 27 and 28 it was drizzling.

The last April day made us happy. A quiet sunny morning with frost down to -2°C was replaced by a warm day down to +23°C. The daily course was 25 degrees. Light translucent stratus clouds slightly obscured the blue sky, and nothing seemed to portend a change in the weather. But in the evening the stars did not sparkle in the sky, and a cold breeze with drizzle blew from the sea. A new cyclone has descended, but already in May.

In general, 41 mm of precipitation fell during the month, with a monthly norm of 51 mm, most of which fell in the third decade. The average monthly air temperature in April was +4.2°C, which is close to the average long-term values. The zero crossing occurred at the very end of March, although more often it happens at the beginning of April.

In the middle of the month, the ice on the Serebryanka channels melted. But on the western slopes, by the end of the first decade, the rivers were only partially freed from ice. At the very beginning of the third decade, the ice on Lake Blagodatnoye melted. In the middle of the month, due to the melting of snow and ice in rivers and springs, the water level was high. Water increased after precipitation and in the third decade. This decade marked the end of a long dry period that had lasted since January.

April is the period of snowmelt and the revival of spring. The heat of the sun increased, the earth’s surface and the air warmed up. Willows bloomed in the first decade – their fluffy catkins were covered with yellow pollen. Until now, the silvery crowns of willows, which we are used to seeing in March, have become light yellow. Later, in the third decade, the goat willow blossomed – nonsense. This is a tree, but more often – a large bush of the correct oval shape. It grows in mixed and deciduous forests, among shrubs, in glades. Her rather large earrings literally strew the branches and glow yellow like light bulbs. Very decorative. Bees often buzz over her earrings. If you taste it, it will be very sweet.

By the end of the second decade, alder dusted off in floodplains. Amur anemone blossomed, one-flowered onion hatched, bright green shoots of hellebore appeared, shoots of marigold turned green. Amur adonis bloomed massively on the river terraces and southern slopes.

At the end of the month, corydalis goose onions, kosopulniks (Dubious kosopulnik / E. Medvedev) were already blooming.

Well, the first flowering of rhododendron was noted on the southern slope in the area of the Terney weather station on April 18th. Everywhere, he began to bloom at the very end of April (Rhododendron Sikhotinsky / Bondarchuk S.). He did not come late this spring.

In the middle of the month, the buds of a larch burst, but it noticeably turned green only in the third decade. At the beginning of the same decade, the bird cherry buds burst. These events are close to averaged long-term data.
On the warm days of the first decade of April, the first butterflies flashed in the air, flies appeared. In the evenings the frogs chirped, and in the middle of the month it was already possible to see the eggs they laid in the reservoirs. Water striders were visible at that time in small puddles in the floodplain of the Vilka River. They deftly ran on the surface of the water, and sometimes accumulated in one place. A water strider is a water bug. They run through the water on two pairs of long hind legs with bristles at the ends, which are lubricated from below with a fatty substance, and therefore do not get wet. With two front paws, they grab small insects that have fallen into the water. The water strider also has wings, but it rarely flies when it is necessary to move from a dried-up puddle to another.

In late March, early April, white wagtails arrived, a little later redstarts appeared, and then the first swallows. And already many swallows appeared in the third decade. They were sitting on wires, flying low over the water. A pair of Whistler Teals, a female and a male, sometimes appeared in the creek near the bridge.

Before nesting, birds behave very interestingly, and this can be very noticeable. Wagtails chase each other, a pair, two pairs together, making current flights. “Courting” males bifurcate their tails and impetuously take off in front of the females, often fluttering their wings, hovering over the branches of a blue spruce. The pairs were determined, and now in the yard and on the blue spruce I observe one pair. In the mornings, in the rays of the rising sun, the male sits on the roof of the barn and cleans his feathers, during breaks he loudly utters his indispensable “tsiti-tsyuri”. Like, the place is busy. The female sits opposite on a blue spruce and also cleans her feathers. During the day, the male often sits on the ridge of the roof and loudly sings his song. Then it flies to the spruce and sings again. Together with the female, they mince along the branches, fly up, and sit down again. I hope that they will build a nest on the spruce, as they already did in 2007. Perhaps they were born here and returned to their homeland. I would like to think so. But while they are busy with each other, the nest is not built.

Buntings flash in the garden, yellow-throated, gray-headed, taiga. At the end of the month, a large flock of brambles (Yurok / Bondarchuk S.) flew in. In the evenings, the grey-headed bunting sang its song melodiously, sitting on the top of the bush – “tee-tee-tee.” Next to her fluttered another. Also a couple.

In recent times, beautifully singing oatmeal was taken as a teacher to overseas canaries, and canaries of “oatmeal tune” were obtained. Special birders caught beautifully singing birds in order to teach other young birds to sing beautifully. Or young birds were placed in cages and carried into the forest in the spring, so that when they heard the songs of old birds in the forest, they would learn to sing just as beautifully. It was a real craft, business in a modern way. There were many lovers to listen to the beautiful songs of birds. The Kursk nightingales were once famous in Russia, then the Kyiv ones, but their fame has gone. Perhaps the terrible war killed these birds.

At Blagodatnoye Lake at this time, as always, there are a lot of birds. There is a lot going on here. Here is a couple of great grebes building a nest on a hummock that barely sticks out of the water. From time to time a duck sits on a hummock and bends its long neck to the water, a drake sits on top of it, and they mate for some time, about a minute. Then they nest again. Nest building lasts for various times, at least several days. At the same time, mating occurs, usually taking place many times a day.

Another male swims up to a couple of tangerines, but the duck displeasedly pulls its head in his direction and hisses, drives away. In another place, not far from the shore, a whole flock of these beautiful ducks swims (Flock of mandarin ducks / Bondarchuk S.).

Teal-whistles, mallards (Teal-whistles and mallards / Bondarchuk S.) feed in shallow water. Coots rest and clean their feathers. A loot drake swims in the company of two ducks. These are very small ducks, slightly larger than a teal. The male is different from the females. He is white with black spots and stripes with a tuft, and the female is gray with a brown head and white cheeks. They dive great. These ducks are on our way.

Something very long floats on the water. So it’s an otter! Her chubby mustachioed muzzle and long thick tail stick out above the water, her body is under water (Otter / Bondarchuk S.). Near the shore, it turns around and swims along it, scaring away numerous ducks. They take off or move away from the animal. The otter scares them. Although it feeds on fish, it does not seem to touch ducks. On the ground, not far from the shore, lies a large, half-eaten rudd. Full, didn’t finish the fish. Near the shore, the otter trampled long paths.

On Blagodatny, on the rocks of the South Cape, two Gorals are constantly encountered. These meetings have become commonplace. And a lynx was encountered on the Northern Cape. She stood calmly, looked at the man and went off into the forest.

Spring has crossed the middle. Having visibly perked up at the beginning of April, she slowed down in the cold part of it. April did not unleash its leaves, but unfastened it, greened the buds, blossomed the purple flowers of the rhododendron, blossomed the floodplain meadows. And there are numerous May events ahead.

Folk omens about the weather – the advice of ancestors for us and future generations. Knowing how to interpret signs, you can always check the accuracy of the predicted results of the hydrometeorological center.

What animals predict the weather

If we consider folk omens about the weather according to animals, then many representatives of the fauna become prophets in this matter. The behavior of toads and frogs before the rain is familiar even to schoolchildren. Many have also heard about the bathing of birds in dust or puddles. The list of predictors included pets, cattle, and the host bird.

Wild and domestic birds, forest animals, rodents, cows and goats also became barometers. Rural residents are still looking closely at the behavior, sounds that animals make.

How animals predict the weather

People’s signs about the weather are based on the observation of the behavior of animals. Most often focused on pets. This is not surprising. They live nearby, and close study helped to compile a list of predictions.

Cat

According to popular belief, cats are able to be in two worlds at the same time. The lion’s share of superstitions associated with furry brethren relates to the protection of the home and household. But cats also predict the weather. Popular signs are:

sharpening his claws on furniture – evidence of a rapid change in weather;

washing and smoothing while washing – the weather is stable, warm, calm;

The higher he lifts his hind leg up for no reason, the stronger the wind will be. If you pay attention to the position of the cat at this moment, you can determine which side it will be windy;

sleeping belly up – promises warm, hot weather without wind and clouds;

covers its muzzle with its paws, tries to curl up into a tight ball – a sharp cold snap is expected. In winter – severe frosts;

thoroughly washes the tail on a winter evening – expect snow drifts, blizzards. In summer, indicates heat and intense heat;

sneezes indicates rain. The longer the sneezes, the longer the rainy weather.

Dog

Dogs are more accurate weather forecasters. In a few days, animals feel the deterioration of the weather, earthquakes, any fluctuations in the air. The accuracy of predictions is high if there are no sick family members in the house. Otherwise, dogs will pay more attention to the patient, and not to weather changes. Usually, you can guess a lot from dogs:

riding on his back – a strong wind will rise;

bathes in snow tries to fall out in it – snowstorm for 2-3 days;

constantly asks to go into the water to swim – prolonged rain with a high degree of probability with a thunderstorm;

abruptly began to eat grass – soon the rainy season will come;

curls up tight – it is worth getting warm clothes. Sharp cooling with a significant drop in temperature;

is buried in the snow – the thaw is coming.

Livestock

Folk signs about the weather associated with animals also apply to large, medium-sized cattle. Cows, sheep, goats same barometers, excellent low/high temperature performance:

cows began to eat a lot – soon expect a thunderstorm, snowstorms, snow or hail. Depends on the season;

dairy animals began to produce less milk – rainy or snowy weather will last for several more days;

livestock rushing home from the pasture – strong bad weather is approaching;

horses portend warm and sunny days if they snort . Snoring means rain, wind;

horses, rams lie down on bedding – to be warm;

cattle before the rain is sure to arrange a fight;

donkeys before the weather changes, they cry for no reason, they try to go under the roof;

after shearing, growing wool of sheep : rough – for heat, soft – for cold;

pigs are able to show when there will be snowstorms, snowfalls and frosts. In front of them, pigs pull straw, rags, leaves into the barn.

Wild animals

Wild animals predict the weather more accurately. Their lives depend on it. Therefore, they make a forecast about bad weather a few days before the onset of bad weather:

moose, deer – become nervous, hide in thickets, look for new places to live;

hares – move closer to people before the cold snap;

voles and lizards – active, basking in the morning on the rocks, which means they expect damp weather or strong winds.

Domestic and wild birds

You can get a prediction not only for animals. Chickens and ducks are good predictors of the weather, not only wild, but also domestic. Raising and kneading its paws, the chicken portends a decrease in temperature. The rooster crows at the wrong time in winter – an indicator of the onset of an imminent thaw.

If domestic and wild birds do not hide when it rains, the sun will quickly come out.

Other feathered forecasters

Determination of the weather by the already mentioned birds – not all known signs. You can also determine changes in weather conditions for other birds:

swallows fly low – to rain;

sparrows sit in a heap of hay, hide in the bushes – to a sharp cold snap. And flocks of sparrows indicate drought;

jackdaws decided to bathe in the sand, dust – an accurate evidence that there will be heavy rain;

bullfinches sing to the blizzard. The sign about the hiding magpie has the same meaning;

if the cuckoo is silent for days on end – expect cold weather. Cooking without stopping – it will rain, fog, and in winter – a thaw;

the rook is back – in exactly 30 days the snow will completely melt;

hear the first thunder , so the swallows have arrived.

Insects

The weather can be recognized not only by the behavior of animals, but also by insects:

grasshoppers do not stop – a sunny day is guaranteed;

spiders freeze in the middle of the web – to heat and sun;

midges swarm and hide in the foliage – they call for bad weather. The same sign is about mosquitoes.

Previously, the weather was determined and predicted by aquatic inhabitants – fish:

jump out of the water rain;

hiding at the bottom – heat, drought;

worried, there is increased activity – bad weather.

Moles

Such an animal as a mole, by its behavior shows the approach of rains. Folk signs relate to holes: animals leave large earthen mounds – a harbinger of long rainy days.

Proteins

Take a closer look at the nests of squirrels. Since it is not the animals that predict the weather, but their houses. The higher it is, the warmer the winter. The liveliness of the beauties indicates good weather.

Beavers

There are weather predictions made by beavers. Before prolonged downpours, the animals quickly build fortifications, raise them higher. Increased activity is immediately visible.

Animals are wonderful weather forecasters. You just need to look at their behavior. The hydrometeorological center can make mistakes, animals never, because their mistake can cost them their lives.

Animal folk omens about the weather help to predict upcoming events and predict related changes in climatic conditions.

Folk weather signs based on animal behavior

Animal signs

Pets, who are constantly next to the owner, help to judge the upcoming weather changes.

Cats

Cats predict the onset of frost if:

cling to a warm radiator in an apartment, sit on a warm stove in a house, or are not ready to crawl from their master’s knees, curling up in a ball,

hide their nose in wool,

cover the nose with a paw.

A cold snap is also indicated by the gnashing of cat’s claws on the floor, wall and furniture. In summer, this portends strong winds, in winter – a blizzard. The cat, which has turned to the window and put its back under the warmth of the sun, says that the cold will drag on.

If a cat cleans its paws with its tongue, this is a clear day.

Closed nose – to the cold

A cat spread out on the floor is waiting for a thaw, and its long wakefulness and long sitting on the windowsill will tell you about the onset of heat. This is due to the increasing solar heat.

An increase in atmospheric pressure is judged by dilated cat pupils.

Dogs

Dogs are among the animals whose behavior is highly predictive of upcoming weather changes:

curl up and hide their nose – this is for the cold,

they stretch out and spread their paws to the sides – it is necessary to wait for heat,

rains promise side-to-side dog riding,

A dog that eats snow and scratches its back in winter predicts the coming of frost.

Livestock

Animal behavioral weather signs are available from farmers who own livestock.

Horses

Horses usually eat grass for future use and wheeze, shaking their mane, before the rain comes. In sunny weather, they snort and lie down on the ground.

Cows

On the eve of heavy rain, farmers are seeing a decrease in milk yield. Before the upcoming frosts, a herd of cows usually rush home.

Anticipating the coming frosts, sheep and lambs huddle together. In the summer, before the rains, their coat becomes soft, and coarsens on warm and sunny days. Before strong winds, rams notice an increase in pugnacity.

Pigs

Preparing for thunderstorms or a strong hurricane, pigs begin to drag straw and foliage into the barn, and in winter, before a snowstorm, they squeal loudly.

Wild animals

Animals will tell you about warming

Hunters predict weather changes by the behavior of wild animals. So, about the change of heat to bad weather he says:

frequent change of location of large animals: elk or deer,

chipmunks alarm whistle,

frequent appearance of moles on the surface, they leave behind high heaps,

active raft building by beavers at night,

lizards motionless basking on stones,

frogs that have come ashore.

Be warm if:

squirrels jumping excitedly up trees,

frogs croak with many voices.

In winter, the onset of a thaw will be prompted by voles, which begin to get out of the snowdrifts, and about the upcoming frosts, mice squeaking under the snow and hares that come close to a person’s dwelling.

Birds

According to the behavior of domestic and wild birds in the world, the weather for the coming days is judged.

Poultry

In the foreboding of warmth, according to popular belief, the chicken begins to shake its paws, and the song parrots and canaries are silent. Before warming, the rooster gets up earlier than usual, and chickens and ducks do not go indoors.

If poultry gather in groups on a hill, this means that they are waiting for prolonged rains.

Wild birds

They say about bad weather:

sparrows bathing in the sand in autumn,

bullfinch singing in winter,

the nightingale that sings non-stop at night,

swallows flying low.

Before the warm weather, the cuckoo calls all night long, and the sparrows scurry between the trees. The birds sitting on the top of the trees will also tell you about the upcoming clear day.

Insects and fish

All insects feel the approach of rainy weather:

mosquitoes actively bite,

flies buzz louder and try to get into the room,

ants hide in an anthill,

bees do not fly away from plants near hives,

dragonflies rush about quickly,

worms crawl to the surface of the earth,

The spider hides on the edges of the web.

Loudly chirping grasshoppers will tell you about the upcoming heat, and a large number of butterflies that have appeared will predict a cold snap.

Finding out the exact weather forecast today is not at all difficult. Not many of us are ready to trust the experience of distant ancestors in order to independently predict this or that weather phenomenon, and why, it is enough to turn on the TV to get the most reliable information on this issue. Keeping up with the times, modern people are moving away from nature every day, which, in spite of everything, continues to send them its signals, using the language of ancient signs and observations diligently collected by our distant ancestors.

The animals that surround us in everyday life can serve as wonderful harbingers of weather changes, one has only to look closely at them. Sometimes this weather forecast can turn out to be much truer than the promises of weather forecasters based on the use of the most modern technologies.

Natural instincts

Determining the weather with the help of signs related to the behavior of animals is very simple. Many of them hide in secluded places before the onset of bad weather or behave restlessly . One has only to carefully observe them, and then correctly interpret their behavior. Animals are able to predict not only bad weather, but also clear sunny days, then they behave calmly and with all their appearance show a person that everything is fine.

Cat observations

These animals are perhaps the most sensitive to changes in weather conditions. Many folk signs are associated with them, here are the most common of them:

If the cat sneezes, then it will rain;

Licks his fur – invites bad weather;

It scratches behind the ear – to be snow or rain;

Licks the tail, which means a blizzard should be expected;

Curls into a ball – there will be frost;

In a dream, he hides his muzzle in his paws or under his belly – bad weather and cold will come soon;

If the cat sleeps sweetly with its belly turned upwards – to be warm and hot sun;

Raises the hind leg, which means there will be windy weather;

Smoothes the hair on the head while washing with paws – the weather will be fine;

Sharpens claws on the legs of a chair – to variable weather events.

Dog observations

Faithful four-legged friends feel temperature fluctuations well, both in the air and on the surface of the earth, so they can also accurately predict the weather .

If the dog sways in different directions, lying on its back, there will be windy weather;

Lying on the grass – to be rain and wind;

Rolling in the snow – to a blizzard;

Chasing each other in the snow – the thaw will come soon;

The dog curls up – to the onset of cold weather;

If there is snow – to worsen the weather;

If one eats grass in spring or summer, one should wait for rain;

Riding on his back in winter – to the onset of frost;

If it gets into the water, it will soon rain;

When a dog starts eating little and sleeping a lot, the weather will soon change for the worse.

Other animals

If there is an opportunity to observe forest dwellers or any other domestic animals, you can at least make your own personal weather forecast every day. It’s so simple and exciting.

A squirrel that nests too low feels a frosty winter. If she makes her house high, the winter will not be too severe;

Forest chipmunks always scream loudly before a thunderstorm;

Rams and sheep pushing their foreheads – be a strong wind;

Hares get closer to human habitation – to the harsh winter;

Horses wheeze loudly before bad weather, with the onset of warm weather they begin to snort, and in anticipation of heavy rain they shake their heads and throw them back up;

Anticipating dampness, the horses lie down on the ground. This usually happens in the summer. In winter, such behavior portends rain;

If the singing of frogs has died down in the swamp, it means that frost will soon come;

A loud frog choir in any body of water signifies the approaching heavy rain;

Cows before the rain begin to actively graze the grass, as if trying to eat for future use;

Any livestock that huddle together feels the onset of bad weather;

Almost all cows start to lose milk before rainy weather;

If moles rake up heaps higher, it means that bad weather is coming soon;

Mice running out from under the snow anticipate an imminent thaw;

A strong squeak of mice is heard in anticipation of a severe cold snap;

Domestic pigs feel strong frosts well and closely huddle together;

Before the storm, you can see how the pigs begin to actively pull the straw and burrow deep into the depths.
