¿Qué es la calima?
La calima es un fenómeno meteorológico que consiste en la presencia abundante de arena y polvo suspensión en la atmósfera. Habitualmente no es peligrosa pero, en ocasiones, puede llegar a transportar partículas nocivas procedentes de fábricas, centrales nucleares o refinerías.
En otras regiones a la calima también se le denomina niebla sucia, lluvia de barro e incluso lluvia de sangre.

¿Por qué se produce la calima en Canarias?
El origen de la calima no son las propias islas sino que proceden de grandes desiertos. Para que ocurra un episodio de calima deben coexistir los siguientes dos factores climatológicos:
Tormentas de arena en el desierto que provocan la suspensión de las partículas en enormes cantidades.
Viento de componente sur o este que arrastre todo este polvo al archipiélago canario. Aunque en función de la dirección puede llegar a la península, Baleares e incluso a los países de centroeuropa.
Su aparición es tan imprevisible como las lluvias y puede producirse en cualquier época del año. Si bien es cierto que su presencia es mayor en invierno.
¿De dónde viene la calima que llega a Canarias?
En el caso de Canarias la calima procede del continente africano. En concentro, su origen es principalmente del desierto cálido más grande del planeta, el Sáhara, aunque también de otros desiertos como el de Sahel.
¿A qué islas afecta?
Por cercanía, la calima tiene un mayor impacto y presencia en las islas más orientales: Lanzarote, La Graciosa y Fuerteventura. No obstante, los episodios habitualmente se extienden a todas las islas del archipiélago canario por la acción de los vientos alisios por lo que no se salvan Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera ni El Hierro.
¿Cuánto dura la calima?
En términos generales un episodio de calima en las Islas Canarias suele durar entre 3 y 5 días. En los primeros días la intensidad es mayor hasta que poco a poco se va limpiando la atmósfera y se remiten sus efectos.
Consecuencias de la calima
La principal consecuencia de la calima es el empeoramiento de la calidad del aire produciendo una especie de neblina que impide ver a larga distancia. Dependiendo de su intensidad la borrosidad puede ser a mayor o menor alcance. También, como te podrás imaginar, deja calles, coches y casas llenas de tierra.
Del mismo modo puede llegar a repercutir en la salud de las personas produciendo síntomas como tos, problemas respiratorios, congestión nasal e irritación de los ojos. Lo mejor para combatirla es prevenir, tal y como recomienda la Consejería de Sanidad del Gobierno de Canarias:
Cerrar puertas y ventanas.
Salir de casa el menor tiempo posible (aconsejable con mascarilla).
No hacer ejercicio al aire libre.
Beber agua continuamente.
Limpieza de superficies con un paño húmedo.
Pero no todo es negativo. Un aspecto positivo de la llegada de la calima son los espectaculares atardeceres que produce con el cielo lleno de colores rojizos y anaranjados.

Seguimos inmersos en el segundo episodio de calima de este 2022 en Canarias. Comenzó apenas 2 semanas después del gran episodio de calima en las islas de mediados del mes de enero. ¿Cuándo se quitará la calima en Canarias? ¿Hasta cuándo habrá calima es las islas?
Vídeo: Situación persistente de calima en Canarias
Previsión de la calima en Canarias para próximos días: ¿Cuándo se quita?
La calima llegó a las islas hace ya una semana y de momento sigue presente en el cielo de Canarias, aunque su concentración ha ido variando a lo largo de los días y de las diferentes horas. Durante el fin de semana el viento soplará de componente norte en las capas más bajas de la atmósfera y las concentraciones de calima serán inferiores a las del resto de la semana. Aunque el cielo esté despejado de nubes todavía podrá tener un tono amarillento por la presencia de polvo en suspensión.
Podría llegar más calima la próxima semana
Las temperaturas se mantendrán elevadas en las próximas jornadas, no bajarán, por tanto los valores seguirán estando por encima de lo normal. Las temperaturas máximas están en torno a los 25ºC en algunas localidades costeras como Las Palmas.
No se esperan precipitaciones en las islas la próxima semana sin embargo de nuevo la situación meteorológica podría ser adversa. Con vientos del sureste sobre el archipiélago soplando con más intensidad a partir del domingo 6 de febrero la calima podría ir a más, con nuevas llegadas de polvo sahariano en la segunda semana del mes de febrero. Además las temperaturas podrían subir de nuevo en las islas a principios de semana. La calima estará presenta al menos hasta mediados de la semana próxima.

En el top de peores calidades de aire del mundo
En los primeros días fueron sobre todo Fuerteventura y Lanzarote las islas más afectadas por la presencia de calima y de polvo en suspensión sahariano, donde se han llegado a registrar los peores índices de calidad del aire. La concentración de partículas PM10 en Fuerteventura ha llegado a ser 18 veces superior al valor máximo recomendado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud a lo largo de 24 horas (45µg/m3). De este modo, algunas islas de Canarias han llegado a presentar de las peores calidades del aire del mundo.

Aunque la calima es de origen natural, su presencia también supone mala calidad del aire que respiramos ya que puede provocar problemas de salud: problemas respiratorios, ojos irritados… además de la reducción de la visibilidad que lleva asociada.

Canarias centra la actividad meteorológica de las últimas semanas
Con el anticiclón estancado en la Península y con un mes ya sin lluvia, las Islas Canarias están protagonizando en las últimas semanas la mayor actividad meteorológica del país. La inestabilidad se ha posicionado sobre el archipiélago en varias ocasiones. Se han dado fuertes vientos y precipitaciones durante las últimas semanas, lluvias fuertes y tormentas, además de haberse registrado nieve en las zonas más altas de las islas, que nos permiten ver por ejemplo a El Teide con nieve en su cima, mientras la calima se encuentra por debajo de éste, en capas más bajas de la atmósfera.

¿Qué es la calima y cómo se forma?
La calima (o también conocida como calina o polvo en suspensión) es un fenómeno meteorológico que se produce en la atmósfera y está caracterizado por la presencia de partículas muy pequeñas de polvo y arena (e incluso cenizas y arcilla) en suspensión lo suficientemente numerosas para dar al aire un aspecto opaco.
El resultado que provoca es un ambiente turbio y la contribución a la coloración del crepúsculo en tonos marrones anaranjados.

Estudio de la incidencia de episodios de calima en Canarias mediante modelos climáticos globales
At present, the study of atmospheric aerosols has aroused great interest, especially in
places where, due to their geographical location, there are many invasions. One example
is the Canary Islands, which suffers episodes of desert dust from the African continent.
These episodes, known as calima, affect the radiative balance and cloud formation, as
well as influence human health and ecosystems.
The study of desert dust intrusions has evolved over the years thanks to advances in
observational methods and numerical models. In the present study, the potential of the
GCMs (Global Climate Models) of the new phase of CMIP (Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project), CMIP6, will be evaluated. For this purpose, the results of the
simulations of these models will be compared with the observations of recent past years.
In particular, the only three models that have made daily data on dust concentrations
available, i.e. IPSL, GFDL and MIROC6, will be used. These three models allow us the
analysis of aerosol transport and generation through simulations.
For the observations, the data studied are from MERRA version 2 (Modern-Era
Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications). They are obtained from the
reanalysis of space-based aerosol observations. For the simulated models and the
observations we worked with column dust concentrations (kg m
-2
) and in order to study
the incidence of calima episodes the data associated with a focused grid point in the
Canary Islands was chosen.
This study begins by studying the percentile associated with the concentration
corresponding to an atmospheric aerosol episode, i.e. the 60th percentile. Once the
percentile was determined, using the information on dust episodes provided by
Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, the monthly mean
column concentration, the number of days above the 60th percentile and the number of
days above the 95th percentile were analysed for two periods: the historical period and
the future period. The historical period is from 1980 to 2009 and the future period is
divided into two, mid-century (2030-2059) and late century (2070-2099). In addition,
the SSP (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways) scenarios from CMIP6 describing CO2
concentrations in the future will be used for the future period.
So first of all, the monthly averages of dust column concentrations in the historical
period for the three CMIP6 models and for the MERRA2 measurements are compared,
which allows us to discard the IPSL model for future simulations, as its behaviour is
quite far from the observed one. Then the monthly averages of dust column
concentration in the future are analysed for the GFDL models in the SSP585 and
SSP245 scenarios and MIROC6 in the SSP126, SSP245, SSP370 and SSP585
scenarios. Since a general increase in the monthly mean dust column concentrations is observed, the number of days above the 60th and 95th percentile is studied to determine
whether this increase is due to the increased intensity of the episodes or the duration of
these intrusions.
For the historical period, the IPSL model does not represent the stationarity of the
observations and the number of days above the 60th percentile is much higher than for
the 95th percentile. Therefore, it can be said that the calima episodes were not too
intense in the past. For the future, an increase in the number of days with dust intrusions
is generally observed for the two selected CMIP6 models, which indicates that the
increase in the monthly mean is due to the longer duration of the dust intrusions and, to
a lesser extent, to the intensity. So, in order to obtain more information on this matter,
this work was finalised by studying the future trends for MIROC and GFDL.
A study of the trends in annual dust column concentrations shows a gradual increase,
which can be associated with more dust episodes as well as with an increase in intensity.
Consequently, the trend in the number of annual days of extreme events (95th
percentile) was analysed for both models and an increasing behaviour was observed.
However, although the increase in desert aerosol concentrations can be related to the
increase in the number of these episodes, a study of the average dust concentrations for
the events in each year has been carried out. From this study, which turned out not to be
statistically significant, it is possible to conclude that it cannot be considered an
important cause for the growth of dust concentrations.
Finally, it can be concluded, in first place, that the potential of the MIROC and GFDL
models is favourable and consequently they postulate to be good simulators for the
future. Furthermore, the future increase in frequency and intensity of desert dust
intrusions is evident, in particular for the worst-case scenario concerning CO2
concentrations. Therefore, under the initial conditions and assumptions proposed, this
work reflects the worsening of the calima episodes in the Canary Islands and stimulates
contributing to the slowing down of climate change.

Kalima. Transit across the ocean: Sahara – Canaries – Amazon
Imagine that your boat is moored in a marina in the Canary Islands, say Tenerife or Gran Canaria. You wake up in the morning, climb into the cockpit and understand that something is wrong. The sun that has already risen is cloudier than usual, and it turns yellow somehow painfully. In fact, the horizon is not visible, the sky merges with the sea and in general there is some kind of kardash around. You start rubbing your eyes, remembering that the last bottle of rum ended a week ago, and it was not really you who drank it, but completely different people. Then you notice that yesterday the carefully washed deck is covered with a slightly reddish powder, and this is strange, because none of your stubble-covered companions has so far been caught with an incomprehensible box in their hands. You thoughtfully run your finger over this very powder and suddenly realize that this is not powder at all, but something that looks like hell, only very, very fine. Very fine, almost like powder, but not her.
And then, of course, an insight dawns on you. You look around again, assessing everything around with a fair amount of curiosity, and then rub the slightly reddish dust between your fingers, beginning to understand that on your hand now is not just sand, but a small piece of the great Sahara, and that the slight haziness around is still the same sand dust hanging in the atmosphere. Here is a phenomenon that received the name “kalima” in the Canary Islands. Please put the emphasis on the letter “and”. It is important. Why, I will tell at the very end of the story.
Let’s now try to figure out what is Kalima and
in what cases we manage to become witnesses of its appearance.
The Sahara is the largest desert on the planet. She stretches
across the entire northern part of Africa from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea.
There is very little precipitation in the Sahara, and moist air from the ocean into it
almost never comes. The desert is located in subtropical latitudes, where
high atmospheric pressure prevails. This means that the winds blow from it to
side of the ocean, not the other way around.
If during the winter night the temperature in the Sahara sometimes drops to -15°С, then during the summer day its surface can heat up to 70-80°С. As a result, ascending air currents are formed, which lift fine dust particles upwards. They are picked up by the prevailing winds and begin their movement towards the ocean. With a strong wind, a sirocco or a dust storm, the number of small particles raised up increases by orders of magnitude.
Thus the wind steals sand from the desert and carries it into the ocean and
across the ocean. The closest landmass to Africa is the Canary Islands. To the most eastern
of which – Fuerteventura – a little more than 100 km. Close to Fuerteventura
Lanzarote, then – Gran Canaria and Tenerife, where Kalima is also quite frequent
phenomenon. Sometimes it also covers La Gomera.
Along with the dust, which the Spaniards call polvo del desierto (Spanish – desert dust), warm or, conversely, cold, but in any case drier air comes to the islands. Usually, the haze lasts no more than three days and does not pose a danger to human health. Except perhaps that it penetrates absolutely everywhere, however, like any other dust.
In strong winds from the Sahara, satellite
In the photographs, against the background of the blue ocean, tongues of winds saturated with yellowish
dust. It is estimated that up to 1.5 million tons of sand are transported to the Canary Islands per year.
Do you want to present it in volume? There is nothing easier: about 1 million cubic meters!
By the way, this is very little in relation to the total amount lost by the Sahara
weight. In the video below, created from data from NASA, it says that the winds
182 million tons of sand are carried away from the desert every year!
27 million tons of mineral-rich dust crosses the ocean and ends up in the Amazon every year. Thus, in the “lungs of the planet” the loss of mineral substances and, first of all, phosphorus, washed out from soils by surface waters, is compensated.
A legitimate question immediately arises: where does the
phosphorus and other minerals in the sand, when the sand, according to school knowledge, in
most of them are small pieces of quartz that arose in
the result of rock erosion? And here it would be nice to move on a few
millennia ago and remember that, by geological standards, quite recently
The Sahara was not a desert at all. There were rivers, huge lakes, thickets
vegetation, and the whole area was not so lifeless as it is now. At all
on the contrary: life in the full sense of the word once raged here. Besides
what we, when talking about kalima, call sand, in general, is not sand, but
rather fine dust, having a much more varied structure and containing
a significant amount of organic substances and their compounds.
Now that you know all this, even a slight haze of dust
in the Canary Islands will be of interest to you. And every time you will think that small
dust particles, which you may not like on the islands, in
actually allow the Amazon, one of the most grandiose ecosystems on Earth,
exist, develop and produce a huge amount of oxygen, which
we all breathe.
And, finally, the promised one. Pronounced with an accent on the first
The syllable “kalima” in Arabic means “word”, “saying” (الكلمة – Arabic). The most important
one of them is translated as follows: “There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
Keeping in mind that in Spanish there are a lot of
borrowings from Arabic, it is extremely interesting whether there is any relationship
between two Kalimas. If there are experts among you who can answer
to this question, I would be very grateful.
According to local residents, two of the largest ferries Armas and Fred Olsen collided off the coast of Tenerife due to strong winds. Due to the emergency situation, ships on the Canary Islands stopped going to the ocean. Airports were overflowing with passengers waiting to resume flights. Everything around was covered with a thick layer of sand. The situation was aggravated by the fact that forest fires broke out on the island of Gran Canaria, about a thousand people were evacuated.
The wind began last Thursday, February 20, and Kalima descended on the islands. The day before 19February, the authorities in the Canary Islands issued a storm warning. Meteorologists warned of possible wind gusts up to 100 km per hour. But reality exceeded expectations. Spain’s national weather service said winds were up to 120 km/h. A storm has begun at sea. As a result of strong winds roofs of houses were damaged, trees were uprooted. On Sunday, February 23, due to poor visibility, all flights were canceled or redirected to other airports.
On Monday, February 24, difficulties with air traffic persisted. At Fuerteventura airport, almost all flights for arrival were delayed. Today, the single operator of Spanish airports Aena announced the resumption of flights at all airports in the Canary Islands.
Against this background, as it became known, today the Spanish law enforcement agencies quarantined at least a thousand guests of the h20 Costa Adeje Palace hotel in the south of Tenerife, where a tourist who arrived from Italy was diagnosed with coronavirus.
The sandstorm, which has become, according to local residents, the worst Kalima since 2002, is visible from space. Satellite images the day before showed the Kalima covering islands off the coast of northwest Africa. Today the Canaries were overcast. According to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), precipitation is not excluded here, showers are possible on the western islands of the archipelago. Storms will continue. The strength of the wind is significantly reduced compared to previous days. Kalima intensity is expected to decrease during the day.
On Fuerteventura, the clouds cleared this afternoon. Hot weather has settled +29С.
Kalima visits the Canary Islands regularly. But the problem is that it hasn’t even been two weeks since her last visit. According to local residents, this winter such visits alternated one after another. Locals fear that the trade winds are disappearing into oblivion – constant winds blowing from the tropics towards the equator, thanks to which the subtropical climate with a constant temperature level exists in the Canary Islands. According to the testimonies of the inhabitants of the Canary Islands, the heat is increasing, a cold dry wind, similar to a desert one, is blowing at night, the strength of the Kalima is intensifying.

NOT Secret, not secret
that some wealthy people, having reached a certain status, move away from
affairs, acquire a luxurious villa on the Spanish coast, where life flows lazily
and measuredly, where there is a lot of warmth and light, where the air is piercingly hot and fresh,
like the sounds of a fast-paced tango.
But there is also the Canary Islands, the legend of the shimmering blue Atlantic. We must not forget that they are also Spain. That is why moving to Tenerife or Gran Canaria promises a close acquaintance with the traditions and laws of the southernmost part of old Europe, cut off from the mainland by the noisy ocean waters.
Two large
difference: live and work in the country or visit it on vacation. In every case
their evaluation criteria.
Next
the review is based on the opinions and feedback of people for whom the island Atlantic has become
second home.
Advantages of life in Tenerife
The Canary Islands is a wonderful world of nature, where eternal spring has settled.
Can
to say that according to the climatic parameters of a more comfortable place for a person
can not found. The gentle sun shines here all year round, the thermometer does not
leaves the positive zone 20 o – 30 o C.
the temperature indicator is about 24 about C, as in a Moscow apartment.
However, small
the island, which can be driven from end to end in two hours, has microclimatic
areas with weather indicators that are different from the average. In the southern part
the islands are a couple of degrees warmer. To the north and northeast (in the capital
region), the weather sometimes brings surprises in the form of clouds and rains. Mountain
the area meets with refreshing coolness, the higher above sea level, the lower
temperature.
Tenerife is the ideal place for a person who cannot stand the heat and does not want to spend the summer.
Ecology that civilization has not spoiled
to be on the coast, in the mountains or in a coniferous forest in just half an hour. No matter how
strange, to a local person who is not familiar with the “deaf” traffic jams of large
megacities, this way seems long and tiring.
Urban
the architecture is simple, well-groomed and pleasing to the eye. There are no smoking factory chimneys, nauseating
chemical odors and uncleaned landfills. Despite the scarcity of local soil,
quite tasty vegetables and fruits are grown here. Good tea and buckwheat are in short supply.
Our favorite cereal can only be found in a Russian store.
People who like to put things off until tomorrow
The islanders are reserved, friendly, not aggressive, slow and lazy. They do not need to survive in harsh climatic conditions. Spoiled by the sun, they don’t get depressed. Like an old volcano, the Spaniards hide their seething passions somewhere deep inside. They rarely step out of their inner comfort zone. In difficult times, they will always help, show the way with their fingers and answer all questions with pleasure. Spanish is quite simple: you begin to understand it from the first minutes. There are also many Russian-speaking visitors. Socialization is quick and painless.
South Airport – every day one or two planes arrive from Russia
The locals are loyal to religions, as they are to everything else. They are much more interested in Internet connection. And there are significant changes for the better. Providers use optical fiber that delivers speeds of 300-600 megabits per second on the forward and reverse channels. This pleasure costs the subscriber about 50 euros per month.
Cost of living in Tenerife
Average
a Canarian resident has an income of 1,000 euros per month.
Renting an apartment costs an average of 450 to 700 euros per month, depending on the area and layout – not cheap, but more expensive on the mainland.
A liter of petrol costs 1 euro.
For a moderate meal in a cafe, you will have to pay about 25 euros for two.
An average check from a grocery supermarket will ruin your wallet by 30-50 euros.
Electricity 0.158288 Euro/kW for 2020. Plus, you pay for power consumption.
Power consumption calculation: LUZ Importe por potencia contratada: 4.6 kW x 0.132966 Eur/kW x 22 días 13.46 € 4.6 kW x 0.132966 Eur/kW x 6 días 3.67 € 17.13 €. Total 17.13 € (this was used to electricity or not, but this money is required to pay.)

Life in Tenerife as it is – cons
Psychological crowding
Feeling
the fact that you are in a closed space surrounded by water,
is present. A man who came from the mainland has to rethink
reality to find a special high in the absence of territorial freedom and
metropolitan madness. To the mainland – two days of pitching on the ferry. In the distant
travel rescues civil aviation. European plane tickets
inexpensive by the standards, which somewhat smoothes the situation. Long-haul flights go from
transplants.
Sun or shade
In apartment buildings there is no central heating, solid double-glazed windows, warm floors. For example, a heat-loving person living in Santa Cruz in an apartment with windows facing north may find it a little cold in winter. Another thing is the south side in the south of the island. Here, the air conditioner will not be superfluous. The right choice of housing completely eliminates the problem.
Canarian Kalima
Nebula is visible – there is sand dust in the air.
Hot desert
the breeze not only brings unexpected warmth in winter, but also settles on
balconies sand dust. During such periods, the island is immersed in a light haze, the air
seems too dry, allergy sufferers feel unwell. Fortunately, it happens
this phenomenon is only a few times a year.
Utility costs are sensitive to the family budget
Electricity is especially expensive. Light bulbs, water heater, stove, kettle cost 50 euros per month. Prices for desalinated water are quite reasonable.
Medicine only with insurance
It takes 45-60 euros per person per month, depending on the insurance company. However, for children and expectant mothers in Spain, as in a developed European country, there are free clinics with a certain range of services, which is not bad.
Goods and trade
A few shopping centers are open only during the day and are often closed on weekends. The choice of online stores is extremely small, they work mainly on the mainland. Delivery to the Canary Islands is carried out mainly by Amazon. es, Ebay.es. Masters are also not in a hurry when called. The Spanish magnana (“tomorrow”) is in full swing.
Pros and cons of holidays in Tenerife
Today the Canary Islands have become more accessible to budget tourists. The universal resort is especially pleasant for people looking for peace and unity with nature. Fans of enchanting parties in Tenerife are bored with . For people who know how to enjoy silence and nature, this place seems like an earthly paradise.
Only 3 nightclubs in the south of the island
Positive
moments:
holiday season all year round;
absence of heat and even climate;
kilometers of sandy beaches with
volcanic gray sand, shimmering gold in the rays of the bright sun;
direct flights;
varied and tasty food,
provided by hotels;
availability of luxurious service.
Negative
nuances:
the need to obtain a Schengen visa;
long flight from Russia – about 7 hours;
lack of budget hotels – cheap accommodation must be booked in advance;
not too rich excursion program – Teide volcano, Santa Cruz, Loro Park.

Do I need to apply for an ESTA if crossing the Canada border?
Published on: Aug 23, 2021, Last Edited: Aug 23, 2021
Introduction
Most Visa Waver Programme (VWP) eligible travellers visit the United States via commercial air or sea carriers or via land. Those arriving by land usually do so by crossing into the United States through the Canadian border, or although less frequent, the Mexican border. This article will examine the requirements of these travellers when entering or exiting the U.S. by land, and look at some of the complications that may arise when mixing land travel with air or sea travel.
Do I need to apply for an ESTA if crossing the Canada border?
What if I cross the Canadian border with the U.S. without an ESTA?
Travellers holding passports from Visa Waver Programme countries that enter the United States from the Canadian border will not need an ESTA. However, they will need to complete a paper-based I-94W form at the land border. The list of land, ferry and rail crossing points from Canada to the USA can be found here.
What if I have an ESTA yet am entering the United States by land via Canada?
Travellers with an ESTA will experience a more streamlined entry into the United States as they will not be required to complete an I-94W form at the land border. Completing an online ESTA application will take less time than filling out a paper form, although it can take up to 72 hours to get an approval, thus travellers are advised to apply before they drive to the U.S. border.
What is an I-94 form?
There are two types of I-94 forms and their use is only to process the arrivals of non-U. S. citizens into the United States by land. One type of form is specifically for travellers of VWP eligible countries, this form is called the Form I-94W Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Record. The other form is for non-VWP and non-U.S. citizen travellers and is called the Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record.
Travellers entering the U.S. by air or sea will not need to complete either of the I-94 forms, instead they require only an ESTA or a U.S. visa.
What information is requested on an I-94W form?
An I-94W form captures the same information and has the same questions as an ESTA application. Thus, it is sensible for Visa Waiver Programme eligible travellers to complete an ESTA application online before entering the U.S. by land rather than filling out a paper I-94W form at the border.
What if I depart the U.S. by land?
Travellers departing the U.S. by land will need to return the stub at the bottom of their I-94W form called the ‘Departure Record’. The Departure Record must be returned before the date of permitted stay written on the I-94W. The Departure Records contains the Port, Date, Carrier and Flight Number / Ship Name of the traveller’s departing journey. This must be returned or given to U.S. border authorities when crossing the Canadian border.
What if I depart the U.S. by air or sea?
If departing the U.S. by sea or air after arriving by land, you should still retain your Departure Record, however, you will likely not be asked to return it as all commercial air and sea carriers keep a digital record of your departure and share this with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
What if I forgot to return my I-94W?
If you forgot to return your I-94W, you will need to send it to the provider who assists CBP with processing arrival and departure data, alongside evidence you left the U.S. before the duration of your permitted stay expired. Do not post the I-94W to your local embassy The current address of this company can be found at the following link: https://help. cbp.gov/s/article/Article-752?language=en_US. You will most likely not receive confirmation that your record is updated. On your next ESTA application, if your request is denied for what appears to be no reason, it may likely be because of your previous overstay. This may come to realization during a visa interview, where an embassy or consulate representative may notify you of reasons for previous U.S. visa or ESTA refusals.
What type of evidence shows I did not overstay the date on my I-94W?
Travellers should provide readable photocopies of the following types of evidence as original copies will not be sent back. The following evidence should also be accompanied with a written explanation, in English, for the reasons why the I-94W was not returned as well as contain a summary of the traveller’s movements and activities after leaving the United States.
The original boarding pass you used to depart the United States, Canada, Mexico or other territory you drove to after visiting the U. S.
Photocopies of your entire passport, showing your passport information along with the arrival and departure stamps of your visits to the United States and nearby territories.
Payslips showing you earned an income during the time you returned from the United States within your permitted duration of stay.
Bank or credit card records showing you made transactions outside the U.S. after your visit.
School transcripts or attendance proving you had left the United States at the time you claimed.
What if I am entering the United States from Mexico?
The same rules and procedures specified above apply to VWP travellers that are arriving by land from Mexico.
Conclusion
VWP eligible travellers entering or exiting the United States via the Canadian or Mexican border are not required to apply for an ESTA, yet doing so would expedite the processing of their arrival by CBP at land borders. Paper based I-94W forms can give rise to complications thus travellers should be aware of time saving activities, such as applying for an ESTA rather than completing an I-94W at the border, and plan accordingly with other parts of their travel itinerary in the United States or North America.
If you hold a passport from a visa waiver eligible country and wish to obtain an ESTA for tourist, business, medical or transit purposes, get started on your application, otherwise, visit the FAQ to learn more about the ESTA

This work has become one of the most famous songs of the 20th century and the most recorded: there are hundreds of performances of it (including translated into different languages), as well as instrumental versions. The phrase “bésame mucho”, which gave the title to the song, literally translates into Russian as “kiss me a lot.” Consuelo said that she wrote this song when she herself had not kissed anyone yet. She was inspired by the aria “Quejas, o la Maja y el Ruiseñor” from the opera “Goyeschi” by the Spanish composer Enrique Granados (1 Luis Miguel: Bésame mucho La hija del mariachi: Bésame mucho Sara Montiel: Bésame mucho

ETIAS – European Entry Authorization System
There are many non-European Union (EU) countries whose citizens can enter the EU’s Schengen area without a visa. In particular, there are currently 61 countries that are not part of the EU, but their citizens are visa-free.
Citizens of these countries are allowed to enter the Schengen countries for business or tourism purposes for up to 90 days. During these 90 days, such citizens are not allowed to work or study, but they can participate in activities related to business and tourism.
In addition, recent security concerns related to terrorism and the migrant crisis have necessitated better mechanisms for tracking and managing the flow of citizens crossing EU borders. The EU has consistently stated its goal of making travel within its borders safer.
In order to reduce waiting times and the number of procedures and at the same time help solve security problems, the European Commission (EC) has developed a set of measures that form the basis of ETIAS.
This article contains all the information you need to know about this new system and whether you qualify to access it.
What is ETIAS?
ETIAS stands for European Travel Information and Authorization System. This is an automated electronic system that monitors and allows entry into the Schengen area from those countries whose citizens do not require a visa to enter the Schengen area. In some ways, this system resembles the US Electronic Travel Authorization (ESTA) system, which serves the same purpose. Work on the implementation of the ETIAS system began in 2016 and the system is expected to be in place by 2023.
As part of the ETIAS, each applicant will undergo a security check to determine if they can be allowed to enter any of the Schengen countries. Since visitors from countries whose citizens do not require a visa for tourism purposes with a stay of up to 90 days in the EU will not need to go through a lengthy visa application process, the ETIAS system will have to make sure that these people do not represent security threat. This entry authorization system will collect, track and update the necessary information regarding visitors to determine whether it will be safe for them to enter the Schengen countries.
In addition to using ETIAS for business and tourism purposes, the system will also allow you to visit Schengen countries for medical treatment and transit. In addition, it will be mandatory for all European countries that do not require a Schengen visa.
Why do I need an ETIAS authorization?
In his 2016 State of the Union address, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said:
“We need to know who is crossing our borders. That way we’ll know who’s going to Europe before they get here.”
The main reason for implementing ETIAS authorization is security. As the risk for travelers around the world rises, the EU wants to ensure safe entry into their countries. ETIAS will significantly reduce security concerns through the use of its information and data collection systems. This means that ETIAS will identify people who pose any threat to the security of the Schengen countries. This will lead to the fact that such persons will be denied entry, which will avoid the threat of their presence in the EU. In essence, the system will solve the problem before it appears.
In addition to making travel safer, ETIAS authorization will also help EU countries and all travelers in the following ways:
Will reduce the number of procedures and applications submitted
Will lead to increased border controls in EU countries and reduce crime and terrorism
Will discourage illegal migration
Will strengthen EU visa liberalization policies
In general, ETIAS authorization will make traveling to the EU less hassle and much safer.
ENTRANCE AUTHORIZATION WILL BE:
Who needs ETIAS?
As already mentioned, ETIAS is intended for visitors from those countries whose citizens are allowed visa-free entry into the EU area. Therefore, citizens of the following countries will need to obtain an ETIAS authorization:

The list of countries may be expanded before the system launches by 2023, but for the moment all citizens of the countries mentioned above will be required to obtain an ETIAS permit before entering any EU country .
How will the ETIAS system work?
The ETIAS system will be easy to use and save time in filing and processing applications.
When applying for an ETIAS authorization, you will need to complete the following:
Complete the application form
Completing the ETIAS application takes about 10 minutes. This procedure is carried out over the Internet, so you do not have to deal with paper documents. Depending on the country of citizenship you have chosen, you will be offered different fields to fill out. You must provide the following information:
For minors, the ETIAS application must be submitted by a legal representative (guardian)
For family members of EU citizens from other countries: you must provide proof of relationship, residence permit and other biographical information collection and apply. The system will:
Verify that the information you provided is correct
Verify that you meet the requirements
Analyze your risk factors
If you have provided correct details on the application form, meet authorization requirements, and do not pose a risk to ETIAS, your application will be approved. The entire procedure is expected to take only a few minutes.
However, if ETIAS releases the information, the application will be processed manually. Manual processing of applications is expected to take approximately 96 hours (4 days) or no more than 2 weeks.
How much will ETIAS cost?
ETIAS will not be too burdensome for your wallet. It is planned that the cost of ETIAS will be only 7 euros for each application. This provision is only valid for adults over 18 years of age. For children under 18, registration is free. You can pay by debit or credit card. Immediately after the payment is completed, the ETIAS system will begin processing.
ETIAS Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to frequently asked questions regarding ETIAS authorization.
How long is an ETIAS issued for?
If approved, the ETIAS authorization can be issued for 3 years, or until your passport expires. How long you will receive authorization – the first or second period – will depend on the system’s assessment of your information and the degree of risk.
What if my ETIAS application is rejected?
Within minutes of submitting your application, you will receive a response about the status of your ETIAS application. If it’s approved, congratulations! If not, you will receive a rejection message. The denial message will also state the reason why your ETIAS was denied. You can appeal this decision or, based on the reason for the denial, you can revise your application and try again.
What documents are required for ETIAS authorization?
The only document you need to submit to apply for ETIAS. is your valid passport. Your passport may need to have the following information:
Your digital photograph, not stuck in the passport
Machine Readable Passport – located below the passport photo: two lines of numbers, letters and symbols
Passport electronic chip – optional, but would be an advantage. This chip is located on the bottom of the cover of your passport.
Can I enter any EU country with an ETIAS authorization?
In order to properly use your ETIAS authorization, you must first pass through the first country you entered on your application. If you are planning a trip to Germany, Belgium and Austria and indicated on your application that the first country you will visit will be Germany, you must first come to Germany before visiting Belgium and Austria. After entering the first country, you can visit any other Schengen country with a stay of no more than 90 days.
However, just having an ETIAS authorization does not guarantee you the right to enter EU countries. This is left to the discretion of the border authorities.
There are countries in the EU that are not part of the Schengen area, and you cannot enter them with an ETIAS authorization.
How does ETIAS verify my information?
ETIAS will connect to many databases that can check your data in minutes. This is why it is so important for all applicants to give honest answers and not try to provide false information. If you are caught providing false information to the ETIAS system, your authorization will be denied. In addition, if your ETIAS application is approved but it is later discovered that you have provided incorrect or false information, your ETIAS authorization will be cancelled.
How long can I complete the ETIAS application form?
As mentioned above, filling out the ETIAS application takes about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you will receive a notification that the time has expired and you may be asked to start the checkout again. To avoid this, you can carefully read the contents of the application form and save your information.
What if I do not meet the ETIAS requirements?
All citizens of the countries listed above (countries whose citizens can enter EU countries without a visa) are eligible to apply for ETIAS.

You can admire the dunes from afar but we recommend exploring the area, as it’s really beautiful. Be careful that the sand can be quite hot at noon, so we would advise visiting in the morning or in the evening.
2. Playa de Maspalomas
Maspalomas beach can get crowded sometimes
Once you’ve crossed the dunes you’ll get to the Maspalomas beach, which is, of course, the most famous beach in this resort.
You’ll be able to pay for sunbeds, umbrellas and you can sit and enjoy this lovely beach all day long in great comfort. Just be careful when you go in the water to swim, as the currents can be quite strong and the waves high, so take care.

The market in Puerto Mogan is the most famous market in the south of Gran Canaria and it draws in large crowds.
Puerto de Mogan gets very busy on market day and it can be very difficult to park (if you come by rental car), so the air-conditioned coach might be the best choice.
You’ll have time to visit the market (where you can get some interesting souvenirs) and afterward we advise you to stroll through the town, which has some really lovely streets, with balconies decorated with colorful flowers.

Vegueta
star-4
160
The entrancing old barrio at the heart of Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, UNESCO World Heritage site Vegueta has its origins back in the 15th century. It is centered around the Plaza Santa Ana, a cobbled piazza surrounded dominated by the twin-spired, heavily ornate Cathedral of Santa Ana; it was the island’s first church, consecrated in the 15th century following the island’s capture by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain in 1478. It is a delightful mixture of Gothic and Renaissance flourishes, surrounded by an array of highly decorative townhouses reflecting architectural styles from the 15th to the 19th centuries.Among the spider’s web of cobbled backstreets and atmospheric squares in Vegueta are several Baroque churches and the Museo Canario (Canary Island Museum), which showcases the world’s foremost collection of tools, jewelry and pottery utilized by the Guanches, the indigenous island population who were displaced with the arrival of their Spanish occupiers. Another architectural highlight of the district is the ocher-colored Casa de Colón (Columbus House), where Christopher Columbus reportedly stayed on his way to discover the New World in 1492. Its ornate façade is covered with elaborately carved wooden balconies and the interior houses relics of the great Spanish explorer.However, half the charm of a visit to Vegueta is simply wandering the historic streets, relaxing in sidewalks bars, rummaging in the weekend markets or sampling Canarian tapas and honey rum.

Teatro Pérez Galdós
star-3
131
This 1,000-seat theater in Las Palmas leaves no one indifferent; be it for its prestigious shows or its splendid façade, visitors always enjoy themselves at Teatro Pérez Galdós. Built in 1890 and completely renovated in 2007, it is now one of the most modern theaters in all of Spain, and the permanent home of the Opera Festival of Las Palmas. The theater was named after famed Spanish realist novelist and playwright Benito Perez Galdos, which was the leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain and, incidentally, was born in Las Palmas. But the celebrated playwright wasn’t all that enthused about the theatre’s arrival, which, according to him, was too extravagant. It even inspired Galdos to write satirical poems about the building…only to have it named after him a few years later. Speaking of famous connections, the theatre is also home to the Saint-Saëns room, in honor of the French composer who spent quite a bit of time on Gran Canaria, composing numerous symphonies. The lavishly ornate room is a marvel of architecture and is the crown jewel of the theater; the main concert hall, however, is not to be overlooked, with its splendid ceiling and perfectly symmetrical pavilions.More

A staple of Gran Canarian and Spanish culture, the Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo botanical garden was named after pioneering Spanish cleric and scholar José Viera y Clavijo. It opened in 1959 after seven years of landscaping. And although it is intrinsically linked to the island’s history, the garden was technically the life work of Swedish-Spanish botanist Eric Ragnor Sventenius, who devoted a number of years of his life to optimizing and expanding the site. The garden, which spreads over 27 hectares and is officially Spain’s largest, comprises of 500 plant species endemic to the Canary Islands scattered in several divisions, like the “Garden of the Islands”, the “Garden of Cacti and Succulents” and its 10,000 succulents, the “Laurel-leaved Forests”, the “Fountain of the Wisemen,” the “Macaronesian Ornamental Garden” as well as the “Hidden Garden” and its sublime greenhouse. It now houses plants from all over the world and a research laboratory.More
Sioux City Park
star-5
39
Within the desert south of Spain’s Gran Canaria island lies a surprising and unexpected replica of an American Wild Western town complete with cowboys, robberies, and shoot-outs with the sheriff. Built as a film set in the 1970s, Sioux City is now a Wild Western theme park complete with a petting zoo for the kids and a saloon for adults.More
Santa Catalina Park (Parque de Santa Catalina)
star-4
136
Found in the heart of Las Palmas, the Santa Catalina Park is alive with activity from both locals and visitors. It is lined with cafes and shops, and often holds street markets and pop-up festivals. Large palm trees and colorful flower beds add to the beauty of the public square, which is a great place to simply sit and watch people go by. At night the park is also bustling — it’s a nightlife hub of bars, clubs, and discos during the evening hours. The park is also home to the Museo de la Ciencia (Science Museum) and the Edificio Miller (Miller Building.) Carnaval and the Dance and Theatre Festival are celebrated here during summer.There’s also a small playground that’s suitable for small children. The park is a central transportation hub and meeting spot from which many tours depart.More

Catedral de Santa Ana
star-5
2
As the seat of the Diocese of the Canaries in the Roman Catholic Church, the Catedral de Santa Ana is one of the most prominent monuments of Canarian architecture. Construction was initiated in 1500 on orders of the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, after Gran Canaria was conquered in 1478. It was completed on the eve of Corpus Christi in 1570, although substantial renovations were made over the following centuries—which explains the disparity in some of the architectural details. Designed in the purest Gothic tradition with touches of Neoclassical and even Baroque, the structure consists of two campaniles, an ornate nave with double aisles as well as a sanctuary. The cathedral’s interior is famous for its palm tree-like piers and for its twin towers, one of which is accessible to tourists on a quest for unobstructed views of Gran Canaria. The south wing of the cathedral also features the Sacred Art Museum and its valuable collection of sacred artifacts, sculptures and works of art.More
Poema del Mar Aquarium

Situated in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Poema del Mar Aquarium is a world leader in aquatic animal conservation and education. Here, adults and children can learn about the underwater ecosystems of five continents and have a rare opportunity to observe endangered species such as tequila fish, axolotes, and Thai sharks. More
Museo Canario (Canarian Museum)

A must-see for visitors curious about life on the Canary Islands before the arrival of the Spanish in the early 15th century, the museum displays a fascinating collection of mummies, skeletons, jewelry, and more.More
Columbus House (Casa de Colón)
star-0
0
This colonial-style mansion in the heart of Gran Canaria’s Old Town once hosted Christopher Columbus on his way to the Americas. Today, this former governor’s house is a museum dedicated to Columbus’ voyages and the history of the Canary Islands. Kids will enjoy the models of all three of Columbus’ ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María and the resident courtyard parrots.More
Calle Triana
star-5
2
Calle Triana (and the district surrounding it) has become the main commercial center of Las Palmas. The pedestrian street running through its heart is lined with trendy boutiques, old-fashioned shops, international brand retailers and lovely cafes for a bit of post-shopping refreshment.While some of the shops might be modern, the street itself is among the oldest on the island, dating back to the sixteenth century. Shops and banks began moving into the area in the mid- nineteenth century, and much of the architecture dates back to the same period.Swing by Calle Triana, 35, where you’ll notice an electric clock dating back to 1868. The clock, built by famous clockmaker Juan Pflüger, reminds passers-by to take their time and enjoy the day.More
Mercado del Puerto
star-0
0
Often considered to be the finest example of iron architecture in Gran Canada, the Mercado del Puerto is one of the main food markets in the city of Las Palmas. Its modernist, strikingly stern appearance is due to its contrasting structure, which clashes against the typically earth-colored Canarian properties. This bold architectural choice has been attributed to the socioeconomic evolution of Las Palmas over the past two centuries, as modernism and mercantilism were slowly implanted in the notoriously slow-paced Canarian lifestyle. Built in 1891, the market features exceptional wrought iron works as well as Art Nouveau touches with the thoughtful inclusion of glass among other ornamental elements. Nestled between the harbor and the beach, Mercado del Puerto is cosmopolitan and relaxed compared to other markets in the city and quite hospitable because of its rather small size, with just 40 stalls. Far from being just a produce market, the building houses several tapas bars, flower shops, hairdressers, wine shops, coffee shops and many others. It is most busy in late afternoons, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.More

Sergey Kleshchenko: “The Liechtenstein national team will try to play slowly, so it is important for us to maintain our pace of play from the first minutes”
Sergey Kleshchenko: “The Liechtenstein national team will try to play slowly, so it’s important for us to maintain our pace of play from the first minutes”
Head coach of the Moldova national team Serghei Kleshchenko answered the journalists’ questions before tomorrow’s game with Liechtenstein within the League of Nations, Moldfootball. com reports.
– I will not hide the fact that we returned from the trip in a good mood. Everyone understood perfectly well that a difficult match with a good opponent was waiting for us there. We managed to win. We wanted to win more confidently in this match, but a victory is a victory, so we will be happy with what we have. As for our preparation, it is clear that we are now recovering, because we do not have time for any special work, the main thing is to restore the team and prepare it as much as possible for the upcoming match. Due to the number of yellow cards, two players will not be able to take part in this game – Kaimakov and Revenko. The rest of the guys are in the ranks, but we’ll see after today’s training how optimal the group of injured players will be. Then we will make a decision on the main team for tomorrow’s game.
– Did you ever think that one day you would have to hope so much for the victory of Andorra? (over Latvia, without which Moldova will have no chance of reaching League C – MF note).
– Unfortunately, we are in a situation where everything does not depend on us. Of course, we will expect Andorra to play well and achieve the result that will be beneficial to us. But we have to go into the game ourselves with full responsibility, because we are not yet the team that can play by the score, not at full strength or putting in just as much effort as necessary – like teams like Manchester United and others who can allow yourself to give up the game, and then take the initiative again. No, it’s too early for us to think about it, we need to prepare 100 percent and approach the game as seriously as possible.
– Are there any hatred moods in the team because of the away victory over Latvia? Like, at home we can somehow cope with Liechtenstein.
– This “somehow” is really the worst thing that can be, and not only in football. Somehow means nothing. We still had little contact with the guys, there was only one recovery training. For the time being, they slept more, but as far as I could see in the dining room, there was no such thing as a hat-bearing mood. Today’s workout is the only one that will have any focus. Of course, we talk with them, we say that it is important for us to try to maintain our pace of play from the first minutes. We understand that the Liechtenstein national team will try to play slowly, without rushing anywhere, and, by and large, they don’t need anything. We are preparing very seriously, I can assure you.
– The first half of the match against Latvia was probably the best in your time in the national team. Why couldn’t you keep pace in the second half?
– Yes, you are right, the first half was much better than the second, and there are a number of objective reasons for that. If you notice, our players who played in the first half – like Nicolaescu or Moțpana – did a lot of work, but they play very little in their clubs. They play for 20-30 minutes. This suggests that they lack the playing rhythm for the entire match. In addition, as a “young” coach of the national team, I’m still not sure about myself when I make substitutions, because I’m afraid to spoil something on the field. That’s why I rarely make replacements or don’t do them for a long time – I’m afraid to spoil what is already established, although I see that the guys are tired and replacements are asking for. In the end, I still make these replacements, but a little later. We need to make allowances for this too… But, unfortunately, the playing practice in the clubs does not depend on me, but we need them to play.
– Tomorrow the national team can win a third victory in a row, which has not happened for a long time or never happened at all. Does it somehow put pressure on the team?
– I never followed any statistics. Only after the game with Latvia did I learn about Armash’s 80th match for the national team. The third will be a victory or the fourth – we always prepare the same way for all games. Of course, if we achieve a landslide victory, it will be a double celebration, including statistics.
– Tomorrow’s match may be much harder than the last one in Riga. We have much more problems in a positional attack than in counterattacks or set pieces. Surely Liechtenstein will simply close in their own half of the field. How do you see this game?
– You are right, because the national team simply does not have time to engage in positional attack. This is painstaking work, plus, you need a very high performance skills and technical qualities must be at a high level. There must be mutual understanding between the players, timing – a lot of aspects. But we have a group of quite creative attacking players. We show them how to use some standard moments of the game, and then we rely more on their skill and quality of work with the ball.
– Kazakhstan confidently won its group and made it to League B. No feeling of annoyance that Moldova could have been in their place?
– No, it’s not a shame that we weren’t in their place. It’s just unpleasant for me every time to remember the statements of “friends” that we, they say, even this dead team of Kazakhstan could not beat. Although we beat them once, it’s just that we didn’t go further by the sum of the two matches. But this “dead” Kazakhstan, as you noticed, took first place in the group, beating the “dead” teams of Slovakia and Azerbaijan. Let us also be dead to everyone, but at the same time we will slowly gain strength, win and move forward.
– European Championship qualifying draw is coming soon. Have you thought about what opponents would be desirable for us?
– If I’m not mistaken, the delegation leaves for the draw on October 7-8. Who will fall? – Yes, by and large, I did not think about it and I somehow do not care. Of course, our fans want to see strong world-class teams. Statistics show that, in any case, there will be two top teams, two more middle ones, and we are also somewhere nearby (smiles). The draw will show, we will prepare. Of course, it will be a different tournament and a different level of resistance, different opponents and tasks. I hope that we, thanks to the League of Nations, will be able to grow stronger. You yourself may have noticed that we have a very large rotation in many positions, many of them took part in the games for the first time. There will be more new young players, because we always have to think about tomorrow.
– Are there any circumstances that prevent you, as a head coach, from fulfilling your duties, but you do not dare to talk about it?
– They don’t interfere, but rather make me sad, let’s say so. There are some things I don’t like as a coach and a former footballer. I want more attention to our team. I would like our team to be supported as actively as Sheriff at its games. I’ve been to some of their games and I was envious – why don’t they support us so actively? It would be nice if the support of our team would be as active. I would like people to come to our games not to see the conditional Manchester United, but to see our national team, because we have no other. Even if someone thinks that we are bad, it’s still us, these are our players. We cannot replace our players with someone else’s in order to make a good team. We are not a club, we are the national team of the whole country, so I want to ask the fans to come and support our team. Even if it seems to you that we are facing a weak opponent, in such games support is doubly needed so that the motivation of the players on the field goes off scale and that they do everything possible for you, the fans, to show bright football, score many goals and bring victory. Thank you.

Tourists brave the heat to view the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, Europe’s hottest city. Editorial credit: Alexandros Michailidis / Shutterstock.com.
Europe is a diverse continent when it comes to weather. Some parts of Europe are perpetually frozen throughout the year and others are torrid by standards of the European maximum temperatures. The hottest cities in Europe typically average highest on the maximum temperature scale. The majority are found around the Mediterranean coastline of the continent. Below is a list of European cities organized by average maximum temperatures.
The 10 Hottest Cities In Europe
Athens
The Greek capital of Athens is Europe’s description of a summer “hotspot”. The average maximum temperature in this city is about 30.7 degrees Celsius. Athens’ climate alternates between lengthy hot and dry summers and mild winters with moderate rainfall. July and August record the highest temperatures in the city and are also the driest months. The hot-summer Mediterranean climate of Athens places it at the top of the list of the hottest cities in Europe.
Podgorica
Podgorica is located in the central region of Montenegro, an area that is crossed by rivers and is also near Lake Skadar. The city is also a short distance of about 22 miles from the shores of the Adriatic Sea. As a result, Podgorica is slightly more humid than most European cities. Coupled with the Mediterranean climate of the city, the humidity tends to sustain the city’s temperature for longer periods of time. Temperatures in Podgorica can soar up to an average of 30.6 degrees Celsius during the summer. The Rumija Mountain blocks the city from the sea and thus limiting maritime influence on the city’s temperature.
Rome
The Italian capital, Rome, has an average maximum temperature of 30.4 degrees Celsius. Rome’s Mediterranean climate gives the city cool and humid winters and warm and dry summers. Due to its proximity to the sea, however, Rome has a high humidity that traps the city’s warm temperature. The lowest temperatures are recorded between December and February.
Tirana
Albania’s capital, Tirana, is located in the center of the country with hills and mountains surrounding the city. As would be expected of a place near mountains, Tirana receives a bountiful amount of precipitation year-round. The city, therefore, ranks among the wettest cities in Europe. However, it is also one of the sunniest cities on the continent as well. The combination of heat and precipitation gives the city a humid subtropical climate. Additionally, being close to the Adriatic Sea and located on the Tirana plain, the city of Tirana experiences a seasonal Mediterranean climate which translates to its generally high maximum temperature averaging 30.2 degrees Celsius.
Climate Change
A new study on climate change in Europe by Newcastle
University has established that under different probable future climate
scenarios, many cities in Europe would be hit the hardest with the droughts,
floods, and heat waves than previously thought. The study used different
climate models to come up with the most likely outcome in a situation where the
world fails to significantly cut carbon emissions, while the population
continues to rise at the current rate. In the worst case scenario, the cities
in southern Europe such as Almeria and Malaga would experience the worst drought
which could be twice as severe as they were witnessed from 1951 to 2000. Other
cities would experience as much as 14 times more severe drought as they are now.
Cities that would experience severe drought include Athens, Madrid,
Lisbon, Nicosia, Valletta, and Sofia.

Warm places to visit in Italy in winter
Italy is a very popular winter destination in Europe. A lot of people go to Northern Italy to ski in the Alps but if you are looking for some good and sunny weather, Southern Italy will be your paradise!
Cagliari, Sardinia
Recommended by Claudia Tavani from Strictly Sardinia
Average temperature in Cagliari in January: 5° – 14°C
Cagliari is not as popular a destination as other places in Southern Europe, but a great place to escape the cold and enjoy some warm winter holidays in Europe.
With an average temperature of 12 to 15 degrees during the day, slightly colder nights, and a balmy sun on most days, it’s a great place to visit in the winter.
Easy to reach by plane from mainland Italy and – via budget flights – from many other cities in Europe, Cagliari is easily explored on foot or via public transportation.
Looking for cheap flights to Cagliari? Compare the prices and find the best fares here.
The city has a lot to offer to visitors. Among the things to do in Cagliari, there are exploring the four historical quarters – Castello is where you will find the Museum of Archeology, the two watchtowers, the Cathedral and several viewpoints such as that of Via Santa Croce, which overlooks Stampace.
The other historic quarters are Stampace, which is scattered with churches and archaeological ruins; la Marina, a nightlife hub with some hidden gems; and Villanova, the most colourful of the four.
Make sure to visit the beautifully kept Roman Amphitheater, Villa Tigellio and the Punic Necropolis of Tuvixeddu.
If you have a chance, make sure to head to Molentargius Nature Reserve, which can be accessed from Poetto Beach (the main urban beach, and perfect for a walk or even to go biking or for a run) – it’s a great place for birdwatching and you can even spot pink flamingos.
For stunning views, hike to Sella del Diavolo. The trail starts in Calamosca Beach, where you can get to by bus from the centre of town, and in less than 30 minutes takes you to a viewpoint overlooking Poetto and Molentargius Nature Reserve.
The weather in Cagliari is mild in the winter, but make sure to pack a winter jacket and a scarf for windy days, and wear layers as humidity may make you feel colder than it actually is.
WHERE TO STAY: Stay at Charming Marina B&W – a lovely Airbnb in the Marina quarter from where you can reach all the main attractions.
The area is packed with good restaurants too. Try Kobuta – also in the Marina – if you fancy a unique Sardinian – Japanese fusion experience.
The best pizza in town is by far at Framento.

Catania, Sicily
Average temperature in Catania in January: 5° – 16°C
Catania is the second biggest city on the beautiful island of Sicily. Often in the shadow of the capital, Palermo, Catania is yet an amazing winter sun destination in Europe.
If you love culture and history, make sure to visit the city centre. You will find some impressive buildings such as the duomo and Castello Ursino but also archaeological sites like the Roman amphitheatre.
In 1669, Mount Etna erupted and the lava went down to the city of Catania, covering it entirely. The city was then reconstructed on top of it.
This means there is a whole city underground! Unfortunately, it’s not open to the public anymore but you can still see some sites around the city centre.
If you are a foodie, you will also love this Sicilian city! Catanese food is delicious and there are many ways to experience it!
You can go on a food tour, eat an arancino in a cafe or go to the fish market! In terms of accommodation, staying in the old town is the best option.
In terms of temperatures, January and February are the coldest months however, if you were looking for a hot destination in Europe in November, Catania will be your paradise!
WHERE TO STAY: Duomo Suites & Spa is a stunning hotel, ideally located near the Duomo. See prices here. For a cheaper (but also good) alternative, check out Hotel Centrale Europa.

Average temperature in Lampedusa in January: 12° – 16°C
If you are craving to visit a paradisiacal island in winter, Lampedusa is the perfect destination for you. It’s definitely one of the hottest places in Europe in January! The lowest average temperature is 12 degrees!
This Sicilian island is located in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s one of the Pelagie Islands.
Lampedusa is particularly famous for its beautiful white and sandy beaches such as:
Rabbit beach
Tabaccara
Guitgia Beach
Cala Pulcino
Cala Croce
There are a lot of cheap flights to Lampedusa, especially from Milan however you won’t find any direct flights from European airports outside of Italy (not even London!).
You will have to have a layover at an Italian airport.
Looking for cheap flights to Lampedusa? Compare the prices and find the best fares here.
WHERE TO STAY: In terms of accommodation, hotels and B&Bs in Lampedusa are very cheap in winter. You can easily score a great room for less than 30 euros per night!
La Gariga is an excellent hotel located in the historic centre of Lampedusa. Check prices here.
Naples, Campania
Average temperature in Naples in January: 6° – 14°C
Located in the southern part of Italy, Naples is famous for its delicious food and its proximity to Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii and Capri island.
It’s a great place to visit in Europe in winter as the temperature is mild and it’s a sunny destination. With an average of 17°C during the day, Naples is one of the top warm places in Europe in March.
If you love Italian food, Naples will be your paradise. It’s the birthplace of the espresso and pizza margarita. When it comes to food, Neapolitans don’t kid!
There is no shortage of amazing restaurants and cafes in Naples. No matter where you go, you will get to eat delicious food.
Pro tip: A pizza Margherita in Naples should cost between 3 and 4 euros. Use this as a scale of reference to know if the restaurant you are looking at is for locals or tourists.
For example, if they charge 7 euros for a pizza Margherita, you can be sure it’s a tourist trap! It won’t be authentic and they will charge you a fortune!
Naples used to be both a greek and roman colony, hence the saying “See Naples and die”. If you’d like to know more about the history of Naples, make sure to go on a walking tour with a local guide.
In terms of day trips, you will be spoilt for choice. Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii are the most popular trips from Naples.
Another place that is worth checking out is Mount Vesuvius however it can get quite cold in winter so make sure you have a good coat and a beanie.
WHERE TO STAY: In terms of accommodation, make sure to book something in the historic centre. That way, you will be within walking distance of all the main attractions and the station.
Caesar Napoli is a beautiful flat and particularly well located. See prices here.

Lecce, Puglia
Recommended by Ania from The Travelling Twins
Average temperature in Lecce in January: 4° – 13°C
Tell me who likes winter in Europe, probably almost no one, unless you will find a warm place. We spent last winter exploring towns in Puglia – the south region in Italy.
Every town in Puglia is a gem on its own, but Lecce known in Italy as the “Florence of the South” is a must-visit. The city is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in southern Italy and is the second most-visited by tourists after Naples.
The local baroque style differs from that found in other cities in the richness and variety of decorations. It was possible thanks to the exceptionally plastic properties of limestone, mined in this part of Italy.
Piazza Sant Oronzo expresses the whole history of Lecce.
Here you will find remains of a Roman theatre from the 1st century BC, and a tall column from the Roman Empire, which was previously on the Appian Way with a bronze statue of the saint.
The Palace of Seggio (from the era of the Renaissance) and Our Lady of Graces (Chiesa Santa Maria delle Grazie) is in the Baroque style.
Wealth, splendour and extravagance in architecture can be seen here on every street, in every place. Beautiful churches, basilicas, palaces and restaurants serving “mouth-watering” pasta dishes and fresh seafood.
WHERE TO STAY: Lecce is a perfect place to see and stay for longer especially in the winter when the town is the same charming but tourist free with still warm weather – long sleeves and trousers are enough.
Le Nicchie luxury rooms is a great hotel, ideally located a couple of minutes walk from Lecce Cathedral. Click here to see the latest prices.

Marseille
Recommended by Elisa from World in Paris
Average temperature in Marseille in january: 5° – 12°C
Marseille, in Southern France, is an interesting warm winter destination in Europe. Located by the Mediterranean Sea, in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Marseille has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild, sunny winters (around 12 °C during the day and 4 °C at night).
In addition to its fantastic winter weather, Marseille is super well-connected to the French capital by direct TGV trains (the ride Paris – Marseille only takes 3 hours!), so Marseille is also a great weekend getaway from Paris by train.
Whilst Marseille is the capital of Provence, the city is far from the typical Provençal clichés. Nevertheless, Marseille is an interesting city, perfect for a cultural trip, a sightseeing trip or a culinary trip.
In the city centre, there is the picturesque old harbor with its colorful boats and also the historic neighborhood of Le Panier while the Basilica Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde overlooks the city from its highest point.
Other interesting sites well worth a visit are the MUCEM, (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations), the Abbaye Saint-Victor, and Palais du Pharo. Palais du Pharo was commissioned by Napoleon iii and it is built on the headland Tête de More overlooks the Old Port.
When visiting Marseille don’t miss to taste its gastronomy, with many dishes based on fish. The most popular dish in Marseille is the bouillabaisse, a stew containing at least three varieties of very fresh local fish but there are many other treats.
WHERE TO STAY: The New Hotel Le Quai is ideally located in the Old Port, making it a great base to explore the city! See prices here.

Corsica
Recommended by Elisa from France Bucket List
Average temperature in Ajaccio in january: 4° – 14°C
The French island of Corsica, in the Mediterranean Sea, is a good warm winter destination for your next holidays. Corsica is well known for its pristine beaches, natural wonders, traditional food, and Napoleon.
The mountains of Corsica may see some snow during the coldest months of the year, but if you stay on the coast you will find mild temperatures that can reach up to 13C on sunny days, which is not bad!
There are many fun things to do in Corsica.
In the wintertime, the island is great for beach walks, boat trips, bike rides or hikes around the coast and of course sightseeing, and culinary trips.
The best way to travel to Corsica is by plane or ferry being Ajaccio and Bastia the most popular entry points. Once you land in Corsica, the best way to move around is by car. In winter, however, it is better to use the coastal roads rather than crossing the island through the mountains.
Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica and it is an interesting city to explore. It has a pretty old town, a colorful market, and the beach is never far.
Ajaccio is also Napoleon’s birthplace so there are many sights related to Napoleon. Start your road trip from Ajaccio or use it as a base camp to explore other sites on day trips.
Your Corsica packing list will depend on what you want to do on the island. Check Corsica’s weather forecast during your holidays and pack accordingly. A warm jacket and good walking shoes, however, are always good to have.

Madeira
Recommended by Alexandrina from Earthosea
Average temperature in Madeira in January: 6° – 12°C
Madeira is one of the most desired destinations in recent years. That is no surprise, as it offers great weather all year round with plenty of sunshine and less rainfall.
Madeira can be visited every day of the year and you will for sure enjoy its perfect climate. Wintertime in Madeira is no exception.
There are lots of things to do in Madeira during the winter.
During the winter months, the island is usually quite busy. Most visitors come to the island to hike on its trails and enjoy the sunny days. Some come to try some water sports, including surfing, paddle and windsurf.
Others come to celebrate New Year’s Eve and the magnificent fireworks show over Funchal’s port.
Families come to celebrate Christmas and go whale watching with their kids, making it one of the best destination if you are looking for warm places in Europe in december.
The island of Madeira offers a lot of activities to its visitors. There are lots of carnivals that take place during the winter months and one of them is Madeira’s Carnival.
The carnival is lasting for at least 10 days in February and every day there is a different festivity.
During the winter season in Madeira, you should not worry about wearing huge jackets and polars. It might get colder and windier, but if you bring a waterproof wind-jacket you will be just fine.
It is also recommended to bring more summer clothes, as it can get quite hot.
If you would like to try some of Madeira’s traditional dishes, then head to O Calhau restaurant in Funchal. There you can try some grilled limpets, tuna steak and baby squids with lemon and herbs.
WHERE TO STAY: Accommodation in Madeira during the winter season is in abundance. Thus, you should not worry about finding the perfect place for your vacation.
However, it is good to review some of the options you have. For example, Venik House in Calheta is an incredible place to stay at for your trip and its host is incredibly hospitable. Click here to see the prices.
Best places to visit in Spain in winter
Spain is also one of the warmest places in Europe, especially Andalusia and other places on the coast. It’s also a good destination for a cruise!
Barcelona
Average temperature in Barcelona in January: 9° – 15°C
Located in between the beautiful Costa Brava and Costa Daurada, Barcelona is an excellent winter destination for people looking to escape the cold weather.
Barcelona is a haven for all architecture lovers. It was basically built under the vision of one man, Antoni Gaudi. If you are visiting Barcelona for the first time, make sure to go to Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter.
The amazing thing about visiting Barcelona in winter is that it’s way less busy and you will get to see and do way more. In summer, it’s pretty much impossible to get tickets for the Gaudi attractions without taking a skip-the-line ticket.
In winter, tourists are not as many which means that the queues are shorter (if any) and everything is a bit cheaper! Especially accommodation!
Speaking of accommodation, I highly recommend staying in the Gothic Quarter or Gracia if you can. They are very lively neighbourhoods and particularly well located.
In Gracia, opt for Feelathome Mozart Apartments. Click here to see prices.
In the Gothic Quarter, Hotel El Call offers nice rooms and it’s very affordable. Prices here.
The nightlife in Barcelona is also a great reason to visit the Catalan capital. In La Barceloneta, you will find loads of bars and nightclubs. Perfect for a good night out!
Seville
Recommended by Riana from Teaspoon of Adventure
Average temperature in Seville in January: 6° – 16°C
Sevilla (or Seville) is a wonderful European destination to visit in winter if you’re looking for a little bit of warmth and a lot of charm.
It won’t be warm enough to hit the beach (unless you’re really brave!) but you also won’t have to bundle up in jackets and boots.
If Sevilla is your first stop in Spain’s Andalusia, you’re in for a treat. This region of Spain has so much culture for you to soak up.
Start your day with a typical Spanish breakfast of a Spanish omelette or churros at a cafe in the old town.
Head to Seville’s famous Cathedral, built in the Moor style and a standout anywhere you look up in the city. Explore the rooms, see the tomb of Christopher Columbus, and climb the Giralda Tower for the best views of Seville.
On your way out, wander through the orange tree grove – the sweet scent that fills the city.
In the afternoon, visit Seville’s crown jewel, the Alcazar. Often compared to Granada’s Alhambra, the Alcazar is a beautiful royal residence that will occupy you for hours and hours with its beautiful rooms, gardens and architecture.
In the evening, stroll over to the cool Tirana neighbourhood for a sip of Seville’s famous sherry and other amazing tapas options.
Enjoy a late night dinner, on Spanish time of course, and then take in a passionate flamenco show. Seville is the home of flamenco, and you’ll have a hard time finding a bad performance.
But Seville has even more to offer! There’s the beautiful Plaza de Espana and other royal residences to visit. There are food tours, cruises down the river and trips to nearby wineries and beaches.
Seville is a wonderful place to visit in winter because the weather is mild and there is so much to do. It’s also quiet, so you won’t have to deal with the crowds you might see at other times of the year.
WHERE TO STAY: If you are looking for a place to stay in Seville, check out h20 Casa de la Plata in the Old town. Prices here.
Malaga
Recommended by Ali from Travel Made Simple
Average temperature in Malaga in January: 8° – 17°C
Located on the southern coast of Spain, Malaga gets lots of sunshine and warm temperatures all year round, making it a great destination for warm winter weather in Europe.
It’s a popular beach destination when the weather is hotter, but you’ll enjoy smaller crowds in the off season.
Malaga’s old town section is nice to stroll through to soak up the city’s historical vibes. Here you’ll find museums, shops, sunny squares, and beautiful churches.
On the edge of the old town, explore some of the best things to do in Malaga. There’s a Roman amphitheatre, and next to that, the Alcazaba.
The Alcazaba is a Moorish palace with many different rooms, fountains, and gardens, and much of it is outdoors. Further up the hill stands the Gibralfaro Castle.
It’s in ruins, making it all the more interesting to explore. The castle sits high above the city and offers amazing views of Malaga and the sea.
The food in southern Spain is delicious, and you can spend your evenings hopping from one tapas bar to the next tasting small portions of local foods.
The restaurants in the old town tend to be a bit touristy and not so good but walk a little ways north to Calle Álamos, Calle Carretería, and the side streets in that area.
Both tourists and locals frequent many of the restaurants in this area, and you shouldn’t have trouble finding something tasty.
Don’t forget to try Malaga’s local vermouth and a sweet wine called Pedro Ximenez.
Since Malaga’s winter weather is generally warm, you won’t need to pack much cold weather gear. A light jacket should do for cooler evenings.
You probably won’t need shorts, but if you come later in the winter, one pair might be ok just in case of a particularly hot day.
WHERE TO STAY: When it comes to accommodation in Malaga, Petit Palace Plaza Málaga is a great option. Click here to see the latest prices.
Granada
Average temperature in Granada in January: 2° – 12°C
When it comes to warm winter destinations in Spain, Andalusia sets the standard!
Located in the Southern part of Spain, Granada is one of the sunniest destinations in Europe!
It gets very hot in summer and is pretty busy in spring and autumn, which is why visiting in winter is a great thing to do! Much smaller than Seville and Malaga, Granada is yet one of the best places to visit in Andalusia.
It’s home to the Alhambra. Not only this palace features beautiful gardens but it’s also an architectural masterpiece.
The symbiosis between Spanish and Arabic architecture is truly remarkable
You can buy tickets online however as it’s very popular, make sure to book in advance. You can also opt for a guided tour.
That’s a great way to make the best of your visit. It’s so big that having explanations along the way is definitely a plus! Pro tip: If everything is booked, opt for an evening visit!
Granada is also a paradise for foodies! That’s where tapas and churros are from! Tapas in Granada are free and come with drinks. Each time you order a drink, they will bring some tapas to go with it.
For breakfast, head to a local cafe and get some churros with chocolate! Delicious!
WHERE TO STAY: The best place to stay in Granada is the city centre. Qh Granada Centro is a nice studio in the centre. Check prices here.
Please note that it’s preferable to rent a car when exploring Granada and Andalusia. There are a lot of things to see in the region and driving will make everything easier.
You can check the prices for car rentals here.
Ibiza
Recommended by Nisha & Vasu from Le Monde, the Poetic Travels
Average temperature in Ibiza in January: 7° – 15°C
Winter is an excellent time to visit Ibiza, because not only it has warm and enjoyable weather but it is also quite cheap during this period. Once the summer is gone with its regular tourists, the winter life in Ibiza springs into action.
In winter also, there are many things to do in Ibiza. First, seawater is quite warm, enough for a comfortable swim and there are many beaches as per your preference.
The nightlife on the island of Ibiza is as lively as it is in the summer though some clubs are closed.
There are churches to visit such as Puig de Missa church, San Jose church etc. Winter is perfect weather for some hiking to enjoy nature and also there are some villa parties. Don’t forget to visit the hippie market of Ibiza in Sant Jordi.
Though Ibiza is not extremely cold like other typical European cities, you should pack a jumper and a jacket to avoid that night chill.
You can carry a selection of swimsuits, a few light clothes, sun-shades, comfortable walking shoes and a bum bag or a belt bag.
WHERE TO STAY: Many of the famous hotels are open all year round such as Ibiza Gran Hotel or in the countryside, such as the Agroturismo Atzaró is known for its spa and spiritual retreats.
Canary Islands cruise
Recommended by Jenni from Cruise Mummy
Average temperature in the Canary Islands in January: 5° – 14°C
The Canary Islands are warm all year round, with highs of 20°C being common in the winter months.
One of the best ways to explore the Canary Islands is by cruise ship.
A Canary Islands cruise will enable you to explore a new island each day, getting off the ship after breakfast and returning in time for dinner.
The number of winter cruises in Europe is limited because many cruise ships relocate across the Atlantic to offer Caribbean cruises during the winter months.
However, as the Canary Islands are some of the warmest destinations in Europe, you can easily cruise here all year round.
If your cruise departs from the UK, you’ll find that it’s very cold at the start of your cruise, with the weather heating up as your ship sails south. It takes around three days to cruise from Southampton to Tenerife, so you’ll want to pack a variety of clothes including coats and sweaters, shorts and t-shirts and swimwear.
Your cruise line will offer guided excursions which will show you all the highlights of each destination.
This is an ideal way to decide which of the Canary Islands you like best so that you can return there for a longer holiday.
Best winter destinations in Greece
Greece is known for being one of the hottest places in Europe in winter. This popular tourist destination has loads to offer in winter.
Of course, swimming is a bit off-the-cards between December and March but if you like sightseeing, you are in for a treat!
Corinth
Recommended by Monique from Trip Anthropologist
Average temperature in Corinth in January: 1° – 13°C
Southern Europe is bursting with tourists in summer but in winter, you have some of the world’s most famous destinations almost to yourself!
Greece makes for a perfect winter break. Corinth is only an hour from the suburbs of Athens and guards the entrance to the Peloponnese.
Corinth is itself a lively city of outdoor cafes near the port area, but as a base it allows you to visit the nearby Corinth Canal, Nafplio, and lovely beach resorts such as Loutraki that offer excellent value for money.
If you are looking for specific places, By the Beach Apartment in Loutraki and Apollon Filoxenia in Corinth are great options.
Most travellers to Corinth come to see one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece – Ancient Corinth.
The ancient city-state has been excavated and is well signposted in English. It includes an agora, fountains, streets and residential as well as commercial areas.
The showstopper is the imposing Doric Temple of Apollo. Towering above the once mighty Greek city-state is the Acrocorinth, larger than the Acropolis of Athens with fortifications, temples and castles to be discovered at the summit.
Ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth is only seven kilometres from modern Corinth.
The average daytime winter temperature is 17. 8 °C or 64.0 °F.
A jacket is needed for windy days but by the middle of the day, jeans and t-shirts are all you need to walk on the beach or discover Greece’s ancient sites.
Corfu
Recommended by Karen from Travel Mad Mum
Average temperature in Corfu in January: 5° – 14°C
Corfu is a Greek Island in the Ionian Sea. It is far bigger than you would expect and there are so many different places to discover.
In winter, you may not want to beach hop but you could definitely village hop to one of the many beautiful traditional villages.
The scenery is breathtaking and there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from or dive into the history of the island and visit the museums and archaeological sights.
The island is a popular choice in Summer and there are plenty of tourists from the UK and other European countries. In fact, it can get quite crowded and busy.
However, visit in winter and you can see a different side to Corfu. It’s a great chance to get to know the locals and get better deals on any souvenirs you want to bring home.
The temperature in winter is relatively cool and you can expect a lot of rain. So make sure to pack your raincoat and rain boots. If you are planning a hiking trip then add some layered clothing to your suitcase and some good hiking boots.
WHERE TO STAY: In terms of accommodation, you may want to opt to stay in a Villa.
There are plenty scattered across the island and some even have a private chef and driver included. N&L Villa is a great option. See prices here.
Visiting Corfu in winter means you also have the chance to check out the local food. For vegan and vegetarian meals check out Bizou Cafe and Auberinge located in the old town.
Santorini
Recommended by Monique from Trip Anthropologist
Average temperature in Santorini in January: 9° – 14°C
The most beautiful of the Greek islands has several large cruise ships disembarking passengers every day over summer.
This makes Oia’s narrow windy streets difficult to traverse. Taxis are hard to come by and are expensive, and the island’s buses are full to bursting.
But that doesn’t mean Santorini is anything but magical. It just means that there are other times of year when its magic is all yours.
Winter can be very windy in Santorini and a jacket is necessary. Swimming off a boat to the warm springs of the volcano is bracing but fun, and snorkelling and diving is best wearing wetsuits.
The sunsets are even more perfect because there are no crowds lining every street along the edge of the caldera. It is also a wonderful time to take one of the world’s most spectacular walks – the Fira to Oia hike.
In summer a long line of hikers are strung out over the 10-kilometre walk but in winter you can take a picnic and only encounter a few people along the way.
Visiting Ancient Akrotiri – Greece’s Pompeii, is an incredible experience at any time of year and it is a pleasure to visit this site without cruise ships bussing large numbers of people to the ancient Minoan city.
You can take your time strolling the streets that Akrotirians walked 3500 years ago and peer into their homes.
Accommodation in Santorini is often booked a year ahead but in winter the hotels have significant discounts.
Premiere accommodation in Oia has private outdoor hot tubs with views of the caldera and sunset over the volcano. These include Mystique, Adronis, Santo Maris, Charisma, and Filotera Suites. See prices here.
Best winter destinations in Croatia and Montenegro
Croatia is known for its beautiful beaches on the Adriatic sea. In summer, it can get very busy which is why visiting in winter is always a good idea!
The coastal part of Croatia is warm and sunny in winter so even if you can’t swim, you can still enjoy the sights and have heaps of fun!
If you’d like to explore more of the Balkans, you can also choose to go to Montenegro as parts of this beautiful country are very sunny in winter too!
Pula, Istria
Recommended by Emily from Wander-Lush
Average temperature in Pula in January: 1° – 10°C
Croatian Istria is the perfect warm winter destination in Europe. Pula, the area’s biggest city, is an ideal place to base yourself if you want to explore the many charming towns and villages the region has to offer.
Like other destinations on the coast, Pula’s high season falls in summer. In the winter offseason, Pula is extremely quiet by contrast.
Daytime temperatures rarely fall below 10 degrees Centigrade, and December and January see very low rainfall – thus winter is a very pleasant time to visit weather-wise.
Pack a warm coat and woollen scarf to protect yourself from the chilly sea breeze.
Most of Pula’s top attractions are outdoor activities that are available year-round. The number one thing to do is visit the Pula Arena, a grand Roman amphitheatre that was constructed between 27 BC and 68 AD. One of the world’s six largest surviving arenas, it’s spectacular in person, especially if you visit on a blue-sky winter’s day.
There are a number of other Roman jewels scattered around the old town, including the Temple of Augustus and the Arch of Sergii.
Swimming and sailing might be off the cards in winter, but you can still enjoy the area’s national parks and hiking opportunities, including on the island of Veliki Brijun.
If it’s cold outside, there are a few indoor attractions to choose from as well, including the fascinating Istrian Olive Oil Museum.
Many of Pula’s restaurants and shops close up for winter, but you’ll always find a few local options open.
Hotels and guesthouses run great discounts in winter as well.
If you want to stay right in the heart of the city, Kastel Garten Apartments is located close to Pula castle. See prices here.
Dubrovnik
Recommended by Coni from Experiencing the Globe
Average temperature in Dubrovnik in January: 7° – 12°C
For sure you’ve heard about Dubrovnik, most likely about the beaches in the beautiful Adriatic Sea, setting it in your head as a summer destination. But the city in winter is even better!
Its main attraction is the City Walls, which you’ll get to walk off-season without the summer crowds. Another reason Dubrovnik became a must-see destination was Game of Thrones.
King’s Landing in winter is much more stunning than in summer when you’ll be able to fully appreciate the beautiful settings of the series.
If that’s not enough to set your mind into visiting in wintertime, one statistic will –Dubrovnik has more than 250 sunny days per year, so you might have some sun and even go for a swim!
As for winter-specific activities, the town also shines.
In December it offers a Winter Festival, dressing up the main road of the Old Town, Stradun, with festive colours, stalls with food, drinks and crafts, and even an ice-skating rink.
And in February Dubrovnik celebrates its patron, Saint Blaise, in an event that has been taken place uninterruptedly for over a millennium!
Since 972 the locals get together to celebrate the “City of Dubrovnik Day”, and maybe next time you can join them.
Pack a jacket, but also a bathing suit, most likely you’ll be using both! And remember that you’ll be a more sustainable traveller visiting the city off-season, not contributing to over-tourism.
WHERE TO STAY: In terms of accommodation, Apartment Taura is a beautiful flat located in the old town. It’s the perfect base to start exploring Dubrovnik in winter. See prices here.
Split
Recommended by Milijana Gabrić from World Travel Connector

Everyone raves about Dubrovnik in Croatia. But Split is another wonderful Croatian city with a growing community of fans across the world.
Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest Croatian city on the Adriatic coast. But, Split is far more than that.
Split is one of the most beautiful Mediterranean cities with a rich history, eye-pleasing architecture, warm Mediterranean climate, leisure urban vibe, delicious Mediterranean food, and sociable people.

Kotor, Montenegro
Recommended by Bec from Wyld Family Travel
Average temperature in Kotor in January: 5° – 14°C
Seeing the amazing UNESCO city of Kotor is amazing in any season but winter has to be the time to go.
It’s free of the huge crowds bought in by the cruise ships, the streets are free of the crush of hundreds of tourists cramming them.
At times you are the only people wandering the magnificent walled town.
Many people make the day trip from Dubrovnik to Kotor in the cooler months to explore another city but visiting Kotor for a couple of days is a much better experience.
There are plenty of options to stay within the walls at a hotel or an Airbnb. Kotor Nest is a very nice flat in the Old Town. See prices here.
If you want to you can also stay out of the walled section and walk into it each day. One thing you must do is the hike to the Kotor Fortress.
In the summer the trail is packed with people wanting to get to the top to see the ruined fortress as the sun beats down on them.
In the winter you will find fewer people and the cooler weather makes for an easier climb that can take anywhere from 2.5-4 hours there and back.
There are apparently 1350 steps to the top but it does seem like a lot more! Once at the top you can explore the ruins and take in the magnificent views over Kotor Bay.
While in Kotor you can also take a day trip to see the gorgeous town of Perast and take a visit out to the Our Lady of the Rocks church.
Again being winter there are hardly any people in these months and you can enjoy the attractions without being completely surrounded.
Winter in Kotor is still cool and while you won’t need big heavy winter gear you will still need some long pants and a jacket if you plan to be out later in the afternoon to stay warm.
Days are beautiful and it is a lovely place to holiday in the winter.

Bodrum
Recommended by Michele Peterson from A Taste for Travel
Average temperature in Bodrum in January: 8° – 15°C
One of the best winter destinations for warm weather is the Bodrum Peninsula on the southwest coast of Turkey.
While most popular as a summer destination for honeymooners and jet-setters, in the winter months the weather reaches highs of 18 Celsius but is sunny, quiet and just as alluring as in the summer season.
Attractions within the town of Bodrum itself include a picturesque waterfront marina home to Bodrum Castle (built in 1402), an Underwater Archeology Museum as well as winding streets lined by boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
The Bodrum Peninsula is home to some of Turkey’s best cuisine.
A top spot for evening dining is La Pasion Restaurant, where the menu features tapas served in a charming courtyard.
Further afield is Karnas Vineyards where you can sample their award-winning Shiraz and Zinfandel wines along with a selection of the fine local cheeses.

Ölüdeniz
Recommended by Mal from Raw Mal Roams
Average temperature in Olu Deniz in January: 4° – 13°C
Oludeniz is a picturesque coastal town situated in southwest Turkey.
It is known for its scenic blue lagoon with a stunning mountain backdrop, and it attracts tourists all year round due to its exceptional natural beauty and affordable hotel deals.
Oludeniz is an excellent European winter destination as well because its mild climate means that you can still expect the temperature to be in mid-twenties.
And even in the coldest month of January, there is plenty of sunshine and temperatures don’t go down below 13 degrees during the day.
Also, during winter Oludeniz offers plenty of exciting activities. One of the best things to do is to go hiking in the lush Butterfly Valley with rich wildlife and some scenic views.
If you’re even more adventurous, Olu Deniz is one of the best places in the world to try out paragliding!
There are a few starting points in the nearby Babadag Mountain which is right by the famous Oludeniz blue lagoon beach.

Other winter holiday destinations in the Mediterranean
If you are looking for beautiful places in the Mediterranean to visit in winter, here are some more ideas!
Cyprus
Recommended by Maggie from The World Was Here First
Average temperature in Cyprus in January: 4° – 16°C
If you’re searching for the perfect warm destination to visit in Europe this winter, you really cannot go wrong with heading to Cyprus.
This lovely island nation tucked in the southeastern Mediterranean is packed with history and boasts perennial good weather, meaning that planning a Cyprus itinerary is a good idea any time of year.
In fact, visiting Cyprus in winter may even be preferable than travelling there during the more popular summer months.
Because of its southern location, Cyprus can get incredibly hot in the months of May-September and its coastal areas can also end up absolutely packed with visitors. In the winter, however, you will still see sunny days and temperatures in the high teens to low twenties but with a fraction of the crowds.
Cyprus is known for its coastal destinations, and you cannot miss the historic city of Paphos with its beautiful beaches and incredible historical landmarks.
It is also believed to be the mythical birthplace of the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, and you can even visit the beautiful cove where this goddess rose from the sea foam.
If you’re interested in exploring and learning about the geopolitical side of Cyprus, then make sure to head to the capital of Nicosia.
This is considered to be the last divided capital in Europe and you can even cross the Green Line to visit the Turkish side of the city in Northern Cyprus – just make sure to bring your passport.
Because the weather is mild, you don’t need to bring any winter clothes with you while visiting Cyprus in winter. All you will need is a light jacket for potentially chilly evenings.
Malta
Recommended by Suzanne from Meandering Wild
Average temperature in Malta in January: 9° – 16°C
Malta is a small island nation located in the Mediterranean south of Italy. It is made up of three islands – Malta, Gozo and Comino.
In the summer months the temperatures are high, but in the winter months whilst the islands are still warm the temperature is much more comfortable.
Packing is easy but ensure that you have warm layers as the winds can be fierce and cool.
In the winter months, the number of visitors drops significantly meaning that places that are busy in the summer months become quiet making for easy exploring.
The main town of Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has a hilltop location overlooking two natural harbours. Close by is the small town of Mdina.
This is dominated by the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral and is quite special as only 300 people live in the town and in the evenings, it is quiet and deserted.
If you have time, then visiting Gozo is definitely worth considering. This island is best known for its spectacular diving which continues through the winter months.
The Citadel in Rabat and the beautiful Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary in Gharb are worth exploring while visiting this wild and rugged island.
Malta has lovely food which has a strong Italian influence with salads and pizza being some of the more common local foods. Seafood is fresh on the islands and the restaurants know how to cook it perfectly.
There are so many options of where to eat and stay that you will be spoilt for choice.
Gibraltar
Recommended by Becki from Meet Me In Departures
Average temperature in Gibraltar in January: 11° – 16°C
This little nugget of the UK located along the south coast of Spain makes for a great all year round destination, however, because of its mild climate, it also makes for a great winter sun destination.
On average, the temperature during winter ranges from 18 degrees during the day to about 15 degrees at night, with January being the coldest month.
Compared to mainland UK, there are plenty of bright sunny days and low rainfall. You’ll be fine with t-shirts in the day time and a warm pullover for the evenings.
Undoubtedly, most activities here revolve around the iconic rock of Gibraltar.
Historically this nub of land was used by the military, there are plenty of relics from this bygone era and although there is still a heavy naval presence here, there are also a load of things to see and do.
A trip to the top of the rock is a must-do.
There are three ways up, either a tour bus/minivan, the cable car or by walking.
If you have the time and energy, I highly recommend the walk to stop off at various points of interest along the way (check out the swing bridge halfway up!).
The walk is steep in places, you’ll need a good set of lungs and knees if you opt for this.
Alternatively, if you want to get up quickly, then certainly take the 6-minute cable car ride – book tickets in advance to avoid the queues.
At the top of the rock, look out for the colony of the cheeky macaques, cute as they might be, they are opportunists and overly confident, so keep any food and valuables out of sight.
On a clear day, you’ll also be able to see the coast of Africa (Morocco).
If you’re into shopping, then Gibraltar is a great place to pick up some bargains.
Although it’s part of the UK, it has its own set of tax and VAT laws so you can pick up designer clothes, alcohol and cigarettes at a decent price.
With land at a premium in Gibraltar, accommodation reflects this and can be relatively expensive compared to neighbouring Spain.
A handy tip is to book accommodation in Spain, close to the border and then walk across passport control into Gibraltar.
If you’d rather opt for luxury accommodation in Gibraltar, the Rock Hotel will be ideal. See prices here.

The Hortillonnages, a 740-acre green paradise in the heart of the city, can be explored on foot, by bike, in a row boat, kayak or even on a paddleboard.

The 7 Warmest Places In Germany To Visit

Germany is not known for being one of the warmest or sunniest places in Europe. The temperate climate holds notoriously unpredictable weather. Cold fronts regularly blow in from the north, and the high altitude mountains in the south offer dramatically beautiful scenery but don’t make for the warmest holiday destinations!
However, this temperate climate does mean that Germany is a great country to visit during all the different seasons. It has beautiful springs and autumns, and the winters are so snowily festive that they’ve led to a thriving Christmas market industry. And, during the summer, there are surprising pockets of sunshine and warmth dotted around the country.
Germany is home to cities with balmy summer nights, winery regions with almost Mediterranean landscapes, and even some beach resorts destinations on the north coast. So if you’re looking for the warmest places to visit in Germany, here’s our list of the seven top spots.
Table of Contents
Berlin

Average yearly temperature: 10.1℃
Warmest month: July
Average temperature during warmest month: 19.1℃
Good news for anyone wanting to visit the capital of Germany, Berlin topped the charts in 2021 as the warmest and driest state in the country. It saw one of the highest annual average temperatures coupled with the lowest rainfall. Also, unusually for Berlin, which has a reputation for having rather grey skies, it saw more hours of sunshine than the country’s usual yearly average.
These figures are for the state as a whole. But the city itself often feels even warmer than the rest of the state. As is the case in many urban areas, the density of enclosed spaces, buildings, and roads means that the city retains heat in a way that the open countryside does not. For this reason, the city can feel up to 4℃ warmer than the surrounding state despite experiencing the same climate and weather.
But this mild weather is not the only reason to visit Berlin, far from it. The capital of Germany holds an abundance of attractions for tourists, including excellent museums and many poignant monuments to its turbulent history, including, of course, remnants of the Berlin Wall. And, history aside, visitors will also find a thriving, cosmopolitan city known for its vibrant nightlife, great food, world-famous beer, and packed events calendar.
Frankfurt

Average yearly temperature: 11.4℃
Warmest month: July
Average temperature during warmest month: 21℃
Although Berlin snagged the title for the warmest state in 2021, it is Frankfurt that is generally considered the warmest city in Germany. With an average yearly temperature of 11.4 ℃, summer temperatures that hit the mid to high 20’s and winters that rarely drop below freezing, Frankfurt is one of the warmest places to visit in Germany year-round.
And, as with Berlin, Frankfurt city retains heat in a way that rural areas do not, which means that the temperatures within the city are higher than the surrounding area. This can lead to the ‘tropical nights’ phenomenon, where the temperature in the summer months does not drop below 20℃ overnight, thanks to residual heat stored by the roads and buildings.
Also, temperatures in Frankfurt have been consistently climbing in recent years. As a result of climate change, the city has been experiencing warmer, drier, sunnier weather with more record-breaking hot days than ever before. While this may seem like good news for holidaymakers who want to enjoy the mild conditions and balmy nights, it is cause for concern amongst environmentalists.
Cologne

Average yearly temperature: 11.4℃
Warmest month: July
Average temperature during coldest month: 3℃
This is definitely the city to visit if you’re planning a winter trip to Germany. The Stammheim district of Cologne was named the warmest place in the country in 2021, thanks to its average temperature of 11.4℃. Plus Cologne is located in the Rhine Ruhr region, which is known for having the warmest winters in Germany. Even during the coldest months of winter, January and February, the temperature remained at an average of 3℃. Practically balmy!
Sadly this warmth and heat don’t also mean sunshine. Cologne is one of the warmest but cloudiest spots in the country, with only 1590 hours of sunshine a year compared to Berlin’s 1700 and Rugen’s 1800.
Mainau

Average yearly temperature: 10℃
Warmest month: July
Average high temperature during the hottest month: 25℃
If you’re looking for a warm place to visit in Germany that also makes for a unique excursion, how about the island of Mainau? Located in Lake Constance and connected to the mainland by a bridge, Mainau is known as The Flower Island, thanks to its abundant floral beauty and constantly blooming gardens.
The island enjoys an average of 8 hours of sunshine a day and a climate so mild that plants more often found in Mediterranean, subtropical, and even tropical locations are found here. As you wander beneath palm trees and through citrus groves, you may begin to wonder if you’re really still in Germany. Even in the winter, when temperatures can dip below freezing, the complex of greenhouses on the island means that something is always in bloom.
While the island is a place to visit rather than a place to stay, the area surrounding Lake Constance offers plenty of options for vacation accommodation. Its beautiful landscape and calm waters afford plenty of watersports, sailing, hiking, and camping opportunities, making it the perfect place for a family getaway.
The Pfalz

Average yearly temperature: 10℃
Warmest month: July
Sunniest month: August
The Palatinate region, also known as The Pfalz, has one of the warmest climates in Germany, with places that exceed 2000 annual hours of sunshine. In fact, the climate is so mild that this region often draws comparisons with Tuscany in Italy. This comparison is reinforced by the fact that Pfalz is home to many acres of vineyards.
Pfalz is Germany’s second-largest wine region and is a popular destination for wine enthusiasts. Visitors come to drive the twisting roads through the scenic countryside, sample wine made from more than 60 varieties of local grape, and visit the many wine festivals held throughout the region.
If you’re looking for a warm place to base yourself in the Pfalz region, try Frankenthal, where the average annual temperature is over a degree higher than the region as a whole, coming in at 11.3℃.
Karlsruhe

Average yearly temperature: 11℃
Warmest month: July
Average temperature during warmest month: 20.6℃
On the border of the Pfalz region, you’ll find Karlsruhe, a city known for its rich history, fan-shaped layout, and its warm and mild climate. Karlsruhe enjoys a sunny, temperate year-round climate similar to the adjoining Pfalz region and has some of the mildest winters of any city in Germany. Even in January and February, the city’s coldest months, the temperature rarely drops below 0℃ and averages around 0.7℃.
The city celebrates its mild climate with its profusion of parks and public gardens. Over 60% of the city is given over to green space, and there is not one but two botanical gardens.
But the greenery is not the only reason to visit this southwestern city. It has also been named as one of UNESCO’s creative cities. An initiative that celebrates and promotes co-operation between cities with a strong creative ethos. Karlsruhe was awarded City of Media Arts and has an events calendar packed with festivals and exhibitions showcasing its talents.
Rugen

Average yearly temperature: 9℃
Warmest Month: August
Average high temperature during warmest month: 22℃
We couldn’t talk about the warmest places in Germany without including at least one beach destination. So if you fancy the german seaside, consider visiting Rugen, Germany’s largest island and one of its premier summer beach resort locations. Rugen offers a pleasant climate with peak summer temperatures averaging in the low to mid 20’s. While it might not technically be one of Germany’s warmest places, since the average yearly temperature is only around 9℃,it is one of the sunniest. With over 1800 hours of sunshine a year, Rugen has long been a favorite destination for sun worshippers.
Once an exclusive retreat for Germany’s wealthy elite, Rugen now has a much more widespread appeal. Thousands of domestic and international holidaymakers head there each year, drawn by both the sunshine and the beautiful landscape. Rugen is an unusually shaped landmass characterized by baltic sand beaches, enclosed bays, lagoons, and the dramatic chalk cliffs of the Jasmund peninsula which have been awarded Unesco world heritage status.

Where is the warmest city in Germany?
Frankfurt is generally considered the warmest city in Germany with an average yearly temperature of 11. 4℃, mild winters, and a sunny, fairly dry year-round climate.
Does it snow in Germany?
Yes, snow in Germany is a fairly common occurrence. However, unusually for a northern hemisphere country, Germany’s winters get colder and snowier the further south you head. This is because of the rising altitude of the country as you reach the mountainous region of the south. In comparison, the north experiences milder but wetter winters thanks to its proximity to the coast.
What state in Germany has the best weather?
Berlin won the title of Germany’s warmest and driest state for 2021 with the highest average temperature coupled with the lowest annual rainfall.
What are the warmest months in Germany?
June, July, and August are the warmest months in Germany. The country enjoys the standard northern hemisphere calendar with four distinct seasons. Thanks to the country’s temperate climate, the seasons change dramatically so visiting at different times of the year can offer a wide variety in the landscapes and scenery.
20 most beautiful places in Europe worth visiting at least once in your life
1. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
On the territory of the reserve there are caves, turquoise ponds and forests where you can meet wild animals and rare birds. The picturesque landscapes stretch over almost 30 hectares, but the lakes and the cascade of waterfalls fascinate most of all. Due to the natural features of the place, new rapids appear here every year, and the views are constantly changing.
The Plitvice Lakes Park is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. And if you are planning a vacation in Croatia, do not forget to look into this piece of paradise. By the way, swimming in the reservoirs is prohibited: there have been enough accidents. But you can walk along the wooden paths along the lakes and go boating.
How to get there. From Zagreb, Zadar or Split can be reached by regular buses, some routes require transfers. You can get there by car from anywhere in the country, and in large and tourist cities you can take an excursion.
When to come. The park welcomes visitors all year round and is beautiful in any season. However, only one entrance to the reserve is open in winter, and part of the territory is inaccessible.
2. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
If not live, then almost everyone saw him on postcards or photographs. Neuschwanstein was built from 1869 to 1886 by order of King Ludwig II. He got into huge debts to build a fairy-tale castle, but he himself lived in it for a little less than six months.
It is curious that a place intended for the solitude of one person became the property of hundreds of thousands of people: seven weeks after the death of the king, it was opened to visitors.
The monumental building can be seen from afar: Neuschwanstein rises on a rock, which even had to be made eight meters lower in order for the construction to become possible in principle.
The castle has more than 100 rooms decorated with scenes from Wagner’s works and urban legends. The throne room is distinguished by a special wealth of decoration and splendor. And from the observation deck you can see the Alps, lakes, nearby villages and the neighboring more modest castle – Hohenschwangau, where Ludwig II spent his childhood.
How to get there. There is a regular train from Munich to Füssen station. Next to it is a bus stop that will take you to the path to the castle. It can also be reached by car or with a tour group.
When to come. At any time of the year, but it is better to buy tickets in advance.
3. Castles of the Loire, France
Szidi05/commons.wikimedia.org
The Loire Valley is a fabulous place. Dozens of castles and palaces of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are located on its expanses. Once here, in a picturesque place among stone buildings, flowering gardens and vineyards, you seem to be transported several centuries into the past.
There are many castles, but they are quite far from each other. Therefore, if you don’t have much time left, you should pay attention to the most famous ones, such as Chenonceau, Blois, Chambord, Amboise, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Saumur or Cheverny. All of them are open to the public.

Part of the vast Loire Valley from Sully-sur-Loire to Châlons, which is of the most significant cultural value, is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
How to get there. Drive from Paris to the valley takes about 3 hours. You can also get there by train from the Austerlitz train station. You need to get off at Blois station, and from there you can take a circular bus to several castles.
But it’s still more convenient to travel by rented car: you choose which places you want to visit. An equally good solution is to simply take a tour.
When to come. You can admire the castles of the Loire at any time of the year.
4. City of Venice, Italy
Shaun Dunmall/flickr.com
Some complain about the omnipresent smell of mud, others complain about the crowds of tourists and their rubbish, others complain about exorbitant prices. But all this can be endured to see a really unusual and romantic city.
Yes, it is not without flaws. But to come here for at least a day, ride a gondola along the canals (and if you’re lucky, listen to songs performed by gondoliers), walk along the narrow streets paved with cobblestones, and visit the famous Piazza San Marco is still worth it. Most likely, you will not need more time, so you can safely continue your journey through Italy.
How to get there. It is not allowed to travel by car in Venice. But you can get to the city by car, you just have to leave it in a multi-storey paid parking lot.
There are international airports close to the city, from where you can also get to Venice by taxi or car.
When to come. Depending on what you want. If you are planning a relatively quiet holiday, it is better to avoid the dates of the Venice Carnival. In 2019, it started in mid-February and will end in early March. Usually the dates fall at the end of January – mid-February. Check before your trip.
5. Preikestolen Rock, Norway
Svein‑Magne Tunli/commons.wikimedia.org
The Norwegian cliff is about 10,000 years old. From the observation deck of Preikestolen, more than 600 meters high, a stunning view of the picturesque fjord opens up, and this majestic place is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
If you go further and climb a little higher, you will reach the Kjörag Plateau. It is famous for the huge cobblestone Kjeragbolten, stuck between the rocks, which, according to tourists, you can climb without special equipment. But be extremely careful: the giant stone is almost a kilometer above the ground. It’s not worth risking your life for a beautiful photo.
How to get there. Preikestolen camp site can be reached from the nearest major city of Stavanger. Getting there is also easy: there is an airport, railway station, port and bus service.
The regular ferry takes about an hour from Stavagner to the bus transfer point. And already by land transport to get to the start of the route. Or just rent a car and go to the cliff from the city on your own.
When to come. Best during the summer months. In winter, for unprepared tourists, the ascent can be dangerous.
What to consider. In general, the route is within the power of a healthy person. But be prepared for steep, long climbs. And if you are not sure that you can handle it, consult your doctor in advance.
Be sure to bring comfortable hiking shoes and warm clothing. Travel time to the Preikestolen viewpoint depends on physical fitness.
6. Province of Lapland, Finland
The birthplace of the Finnish Santa Claus – Joulupukki – is famous for winter snowy landscapes, northern lights and beautiful deer. Here, in addition to stunning landscapes, there are also ski resorts, so you can combine outdoor activities and a trip to a fairy tale. You will hardly find such an amount of the purest white snow in a stuffy metropolis.
Those who love nature but are not afraid of frost should come here – in winter the temperature drops to 50 degrees below zero. If you are traveling with children, check out the residence of Santa Claus. There will be many tourists, but the kids will remember the trip for a long time and, perhaps, they will believe in a fairy tale and enjoy the New Year for a little longer.
How to get there. From Russia can be reached by train and car or fly by plane.
When to come. In winter, Lapland is especially beautiful, but get ready for an abundance of tourists. In summer, you will not see snowy landscapes, but you can enjoy the white nights.
7. Aletsch Glacier, Switzerland
The Bernese Alps, of which Aletsch is a part, are protected by UNESCO. The Aletsch glacier is the largest in these mountains; it stretches for 23 kilometers. Here you can walk along the rocks surrounded by tons of ice, gorges and waterfalls and breathe in the fresh alpine air.
Nearby is a ski resort suitable for ski and snowboard lovers. But even if you are not fond of these sports, know that it is simply beautiful, clean and fresh. And before you open just crazy views of the Alps.
How to get there. The Jungfrau Aletsch region, where the glacier is located, can be reached by train from Zurich in about five hours.
When to come. The glacier, unfortunately, is melting. Therefore, as soon as possible. Travelers come here in winter and summer: in the warm season they enjoy the views, and in the cold season they also go skiing.
What to consider. For a comfortable and safe trip to Aletsch, you need comfortable and warm shoes and clothes.
It’s better to join a tour group. The surface in the mountains is quite slippery, there is a risk of injury through negligence. Experienced guides will be able to provide first aid and help you get to the medical center.
8. Trolltunga Rock, Norway
kallerna/commons.wikimedia.org
It is also called “troll language”. In beauty and scale, it is similar to its neighbor – the Preikestolen rock. A long ledge on Mount Skjeggedal rises above the lake, and fantastic views of the rocks and mirror waters open from the observation deck.
If you’re short on adrenaline, pack your hiking backpack and head to Norway for crazy emotions and spectacular photos.
How to get there. From Oslo or Bergen, you first have to get to the city of Odda by bus. From there – by taxi to the village of Tissedal. Here you will start your ascent to Trolltung. The length of the route is 12 kilometers, the way up only takes about 5 hours.
When to come. The most favorable weather is from June to mid-September. The rest of the time, the ascent to the “troll tongue” can be dangerous.
What to consider. The path to the observation deck is long and sometimes difficult, so take care of comfortable and warm shoes and clothes.
9. Blue Lagoon Resort, Iceland
A popular geothermal resort – a unique area. The milky-blue waters are surrounded by hardened lava, their temperature reaches 40 ° C, and the composition is rich in minerals. The bottom is covered with white clay, which is added to masks and skin and hair care products.
There are saunas and baths on the territory of the complex. Many people come here for health purposes, so there is also a clinic for visitors where you can consult with specialists.

When to come. The Natural Spa welcomes visitors all year round.
10. Lake Bled, Slovenia
Canadianhockey91/commons.wikimedia.org
Surrounded by forests and mountains, the turquoise lake is calm and the air is clean and fresh. In the middle of calm water there is a small island of the same name with a chapel. Bled Castle, built more than 10 centuries ago, rises on a rock near the shore. From its height offers a picturesque view of the lake and the surrounding area.
Bled Castle
If gorgeous views are not enough, you can enjoy the medieval architecture and visit the museum within the castle walls.
How to get there. The most convenient way is by bus from the city of Ljubljana (45 km) or by car.
When to come. In summer you can sunbathe, swim and take a boat ride. In winter, combine a trip to Lake Bled with an active holiday and look at the nearest ski resorts.
11. City of San Gimignano, Italy
San Gimignano is famous for its stone towers. To our time, only 14 of them have survived, although earlier it was called the “city of a hundred towers.” The authentic architecture of the Middle Ages has been preserved here, for which the city was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Tourists visiting Tuscany drop in here to wander through the medieval streets and squares and feel the atmosphere of that era.
How to get there. By bus from Florence and Siena or by car from anywhere in the country.
When to come. At any time of the year. In summer and at the very beginning of autumn it will be hot, in winter and spring it will be fresher.
12. Lavender fields, Provence, France
decar66/flickr
The bright stripes of lavender blooms are not only beautiful, but also fragrant. Tourists who are not indifferent to everything beautiful come here for colorful photographs – imagine what a gorgeous photo session it will turn out to be!
Fairs and festivals are held in nearby towns, the main character of which is, of course, this purple flower. There you can buy all kinds of products and products with lavender to take home a piece of Provence.
How to get there. There are quite a lot of lavender fields in the region: the Valensole plateau, the surroundings of the cities of Saul and Gordes, the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. You can see the exact location on the map.
The most convenient way to get to them is by renting a car or taking a guided tour. On this site you can choose one of the proposed routes for independent travel.
When to come. Lavender blooms from June to August. But in different areas, the peak of flowering falls on different dates. This map shows the periods in which it is worth going to admire the purple fields.
13. National Park “Cinque Terre”, Italy
On the rocky coast of the Italian Riviera there are “five lands”. This is how the Cinque Terre is translated from Italian, and the national park really includes five settlements. Multi-colored buildings built almost close to each other, rocky and sandy beaches, vineyards, azure waters and hilly landscape turn this place into something fabulous.
By the way, part of the territory of the national park is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. There are quite a few religious monuments in the Cinque Terre – chapels, churches and monasteries that you can also visit.
Fans of medieval architecture will love the castles and ruins. This is the perfect place to combine culture and beach holidays.
How to get there. From Genoa and Pisa, which are closest to the National Park, each settlement can be reached by train or boat. Some cities have direct trains from Milan.
Traveling inside the Cinque Terre is convenient by rail or water.
When to come. In any season. If you want to swim and sunbathe, choose summer. Although it will be quite hot for long walks, so if your goal is to walk and explore the cities, give preference to autumn or winter. But be prepared for rain.
14. Keukenhof Garden, The Netherlands
The Royal Flower Park is the realm of tulips. Lilac, pink, yellow, white, red – here you will see buds of all shades and various varieties. The park covers an area of more than 30 hectares. Just imagine: more than 30 hectares of flowers, greenery and ponds in a well-groomed area! It is not surprising that a million tourists come here in the spring season – in fact, the park’s only opening time of the year.
Every year the famous flower parade is held in the Netherlands. Huge platforms with bizarre figures made of flowers pass along a route that is about 40 kilometers long. Their path passes next to the garden – in order to catch the column, you will have to leave Keukenhof for a short time.
How to get there. Trains run from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Leiden station. From there, take a bus to the park itself. On the official website, you can profitably purchase a complex ticket, the price of which includes a visit to the garden and a transfer to and from it.
When to come. Keukenhof is open several months a year, in spring. In 2019, for example, from March 21 to May 19. The dates change every year because it’s hard to predict the weather.
This time the flower parade will take place on April 13, but next year the date may change again. Information for visitors is available on the official website of the parade.
15. Geiranger Fjord, Norway
Geir Joar Hval/commons.wikimedia.org
This is not the only fjord in Norway, but it and the nearby Nærøy Fjord are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
People come here to see the unearthly beauty, climb the ledges in the rocks, go fishing, ride a kayak or a cruise ship. Particularly inquisitive and fascinated by the beauty go to get acquainted with the history of the region in the fjord museum.
How to get there. From the nearest airport in Ålesund, by bus and ferry (in summer) or by car (in all seasons).
When to come. In summer you can take a cruise and view the fjord from the deck of a comfortable liner. In winter, getting to your destination will be problematic.
16. City of Bonifacio, France
Bonifacio is located in the south of the island of Corsica. Its sights are concentrated in the upper (Old) city, built on sheer limestone cliffs. In the lower part of Bonifacio there is a picturesque harbor and embankment.
One of the architectural monuments and at the same time the symbol of the city is the old Aragonese staircase. It is carved into the rock, and you can climb it from the lower city to the upper one. The climb is pretty steep.
On the territory and in the vicinity of Bonifacio – medieval fortresses, chapels, grottoes and caves. Travelers who have been to Corsica recommend visiting not only the city itself, but also taking a boat trip along the coast.
How to get there. From the airports of Ajaccio or Figari – by bus, car or taxi.
When to come. At any time of the year. However, during the high season – from June to the end of September – there will be many tourists.
17. Meteora Monasteries, Greece
Orthodox monasteries are built on top of isolated rocks. As an important cultural site, they are under the protection of UNESCO.
Hermit monks chose the rocks as early as the 10th century, but the first monastery was erected here only four centuries later. Six buildings have survived to our times, although initially there were more than 20 of them. And all of them are still in operation.
Traveling here will certainly be interesting not only for religious people. Although for the latter this place is still of great value, the rocks themselves, formed tens of millions of years ago, are an amazing creation of nature, striking in scale and beauty. And if you have already been to Greece and seem to have seen everything, come to Meteora.
How to get there.
From Athens (350 km) and Thessaloniki (250 km) there are trains to the town of Kalambaka, 5 km from the monasteries. You can overcome this distance by bus, taxi or on foot.
If you are driving a rented car, it is more convenient to get directly to the town of Kastraki, located even closer to the sights: from there it takes about 10-15 minutes to go to the first monastery.
When to come. Monasteries have different opening hours in winter and summer. In addition, each of them has its own schedule.
What to consider. Men are advised to wear trousers, while women are advised to bring a skirt below the knees and a cape over their shoulders. But, as tourists write, even those who have neglected the dress code are allowed into the monasteries.
18. Hallerbos Forest, Belgium
The forest is very well maintained and looks more like a specially planted park: it is too neat. But it’s not. Over the centuries, a whole grove of hyacinths has formed here in a natural way. The trees seem to grow from the lilac sea, which is actually thousands of blossoming flowers.
Deer, rabbits and rare bird species can be found in Hallerbos. This is a great place for those who love wildlife. And I am ready to take care of it, because it is forbidden to pick hyacinths. Even if you invited a girl here on a date, be sure that just visiting the forest is already a romantic gift.
How to get there. By train, which leaves from Brussels Central Station, you need to get to Halle station. From there, by regular bus or bicycle (from the station to Hallerbos only 5 km) you can get to the forest. The whole journey will take about an hour.
When to come. The forest will be most beautiful, of course, during the flowering season of hyacinths. It shifts a little every year due to weather volatility, but almost always arrives around mid or late spring.
19. Monte Carlo, Monaco
Monte Carlo is almost synonymous with luxury. If you happen to be near the Principality of Monaco, be sure to stop by here at least for a day. Visit the working casino located in the palace, dine on fresh seafood at one of the restaurants overlooking the Cote d’Azur and walk to the pier where expensive yachts are moored.
The region is hilly, so if you’re on a tight budget, you’ll still enjoy the views and architecture. You can also have a bite to eat in a family cafe: homemade ravioli with cheese and herbs and fresh fish will not hurt your wallet much.
And if you’re a Formula 1 fan, then walking along the track, where the cars rush at rapid speeds during the Monaco Grand Prix, will give you even more pleasure than a casino or fried scallops with sauce.
How to get there. The nearest airport is in Nice. From there, by car, taxi or bus, it is about 30 kilometers to Monte Carlo.
When to come. At any time of the year. But the choice of season depends on the purpose of the trip. In summer, it is easy to sweat while walking – it is hot, but it will be very comfortable on the beaches. Late autumn, winter and early spring are the best times to explore the city. True, wind and rain are possible.
20. Hallstatt village, Austria
The ancient place is called a fairy-tale town: “gingerbread houses” are located above the lake and are surrounded by mountains. The population of Hallstatt is about 1,000 people, and those who are tired of the noise of the metropolis will definitely like it here. This is a place of peace and tranquility. Do you want to escape from everyone, but at the same time stay in the civilized world with all the benefits? That way.
The Hallstatt-Dachsteint natural landscape is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. So it’s not only quiet and comfortable, but also incredibly beautiful.
How to get there. From Salzburg and Vienna by train or car. And then on the ferry to the town itself.
When to come. In winter you can stop by for a day if you are nearby in a ski resort, and in summer you can spend a full holiday in Hallstatt. It is beautiful here at any time of the year.

Reykjavik, Iceland
Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland may sound like a place where you would have to endure the bitter cold if you visited in winter, but you’ll be surprised to find that despite the name and latitude near the Arctic Circle, this season is relatively mild here, thanks to the warm temperatures of the Gulf Stream . In fact, the weather in New York can be much harsher than in Reykjavik and can often be compared to cities like London or Amsterdam. While you’ll need to team up, it’s well worth the effort as you’ll be able to see some of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes that are made even more beautiful this time of year, with endless ice fields, sparkling blue glaciers and bright blue ice caves to partially frozen waterfalls. Add to that the fact that you will have the opportunity to watch the Northern Lights and Iceland is hard to beat. Just a short drive from the capital, you can find yourself in the legendary Blue Lagoon, enjoying the soothing warm waters, sipping on a refreshing drink, and gazing at the magnificent surrounding scenery.
This increasingly popular winter holiday destination, located at the southwestern tip of the Algarve, attracts many golfers and surfers to their cool, sun-kissed beaches in winter. This is the time when the Atlantic swells are at their most resilient and reach their peak, while these picturesque stretches of sand are free from the summer crowds. There are also plenty of golf courses such as Boavist and the 18-hole Espiche located in an ecological reserve, whereby enthusiasts look forward to playing a round or two under the pleasant warmth of the sun. When clouds roll in, storm watchers appreciate the opportunity to watch and hear the massive waves that crash onto the shore. Then there are also plenty of pretty fishing villages, majestic castles and scenic walks among the cork oaks.
This former Venetian state of vassals on the azure Adriatic, was once an important seaport, fisherman’s town but today it is one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean. While most come from all corners of the globe to enjoy their summer vacation, an increasing number come during the colder months of the year thanks to the favorable weather conditions and mild climate that allow visitors to say goodbye to those winter blues and enjoy wandering the pristine cobbled streets with artistic galleries, shops, lively bars and eateries, under the rays of sunlight. With many properties dropping prices significantly this season, housing is also significantly cheaper.
The most famous peak in the Alps, and perhaps in the world, is located near the picturesque village of Zermatt. The Matterhorn towers over the border between Switzerland and Italy at almost 15,000 feet. The car-free alpine village itself sits at over 13,000 feet and is especially charming in the winter when it all glows against the icy backdrop of the mountains. You can take the funicular to the top to enjoy some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery, and of course the area also offers the opportunity to enjoy world-class spas, enjoy the famous best skiing, and even sledding.
Despite the fact that the temperature in Venice in winter is not warm, many people think that this beautiful City of Canals in this season at its best, especially under the snow. In addition, visitors are also offered rates for hotel stays and flights (outside public holidays), which are the lowest rates of the entire year. Skip the crowds by avoiding the weeks around the Carnevale di Venezia festival (February 11-28, 2017) and you’ll benefit from shorter lines to popular attractions, as well as a better chance of experiencing a more authentic side of Venice that’s most high season visitors are bored. Pack up and walk through the thick fog that often settles around the canals, making for some particularly impressive atmospheric photos. You can still enjoy the gondolas as they run all year round and when it’s cold the gondoliers offer blankets to cuddle up with.
If you are really in Christmas then there is the whole Shebang including Mr and Mrs Claus maybe there is no better place than Rovaniemi, Finland. Located north of the Arctic Circle, this is the “official” residence of the man himself (and the woman behind him, of course). Here you can meet a cheerful old man in a sparkling winter wonderland of snow-covered pines and even reindeer. Pack up your serious winter gear and look forward to sledding through pristine snow, dog sledding, spotting the northern lights, or even a reindeer safari. Bring the kids too, they can make cookies with Mrs. Claus and even enroll in elf school. For the ultimate Santa Claus experience, stay at the Arctic Snow Hotel, which is built from snow and ice.
Hungary’s capital offers a lot of charm, and an abundance of cultural influences have influenced it throughout its long history, making its even more intriguing. It also tends to be more affordable than many other European cities, including Vienna and Prague. Whatever the season, you can admire the magnificent Baroque, Neoclassical or Art Nouveau buildings, explore the many galleries and museums and party until the sun rises in the bars, nightclubs and pubs. In winter, you can watch or join other skaters as they glide across the ice on a huge ice rink in the picturesque central park. Afterwards, a visit to the ornate Turkish thermal baths is the perfect way to warm up those chilled bones.
Abisko, Sweden is another fabulous place for those who have always wanted to spend the night in an icy hotel. Located in Swedish Lapland, this place is for winter lovers. The sun may not rise for several weeks during the season, but these many hours of dark hours make it one of the best places on Earth to view the northern lights, which can be seen almost every clear night. Stay at the Icehotel, located in Abisko National Park, and you can take a night tour to find them with a dog sled or snowmobile team, and enjoy sleeping in “cool rooms” that hover around 23 degrees Fahrenheit. You will be provided with an expedition sleeping bag (rated 13 degrees below Fahrenheit) and there is a “survival course” every evening discussing what to wear and how to use the features of the sleeping bag to keep as much heat in as possible.
0009 best at a more affordable price. With its breathtaking scenery, world-class skiing and skiing, and gorgeous mountain scenery, more and more travelers are discovering the joys of a winter escape in this central European country. Plus, it tends to be much more welcoming than some of the more pretentious alpine slopes. Jasna is the best ski resort in Slovakia, with its long slopes surrounded by snow-covered firs among the ruggedly picturesque Tatra Mountains.
The Svalbard archipelago is located between the Greenland and Barents Seas, 1,000 miles from the North Pole and about three hours by plane from Oslo. Not only is it another fantastic spot for those looking to see the Northern Lights, but it offers everything from major iceberg and glacier encounters to an incredible abundance of wildlife. Known as one of the last untouched wilderness areas in Europe, these tiny islands are home to more polar bears than people and fewer than 3,000 people call it home. In addition to polar bears, you’ll have a good chance of spotting walruses, seals, reindeer, polar foxes, and all kinds of birds that coexist in this rugged yet beautiful landscape. It is so remote that it houses a global seed vault that provides protection against accidental loss of diversity in the event of a major regional or global disaster. In addition to the aurora and wildlife watching, you can go dog sledding, skiing, and snowmobiling.

Europe in September where to go
In September you have two options to relax in Europe: sunbathing/swimming, or drinking wine/eating quality food, which is not available in Russia. This is briefly discussed below.
Beach holidays in Europe in September
September at seaside resorts in Europe is a velvet season, the best time to relax on the sea.
First of all: holidays on the beaches in Europe will be cheaper than in summer. Secondly: rest in Europe will be more comfortable as there are fewer human bodies in the sea and on the beach. Thirdly: it is healthier to relax by the sea in September – it is not very hot and there is less ultraviolet radiation.
Where will I go to the sea in September.
Greece holidays at sea in September
Arriving in early September from Australia, you will have to rinse in the sea, washing off the dust of Australian ebony. The question is not even worth it – Greece. Where in Greece? – We liked ithaca island – we’ll go there.
Earlier in September we went to the beaches of Halkidiki, to be more precise – to Sithonia. Also a good option and I can recommend it.
Beach holidays in Italy
I can recommend the south of Italy – Calabria. The beaches of Calabria I have rated earlier. Beaches and beach holidays in Italy are different from those in Greece. But for lovers of walks after the beach, the Italian Riviera is suitable.
Good in September in the southeast of Sardinia. For example in Villasimius: Overview of the beaches of Villasimius. You can visit the Gulfo di Orosei and rent a boat in Cala Gonone to visit beaches that are inaccessible from land.
Croatia seaside holidays
In September, the sea will definitely be warm in Croatia. A beach holiday on the Croatian islands – Brac, Mljet, Hvar – is good because the water is clear in deep bays, there are no waves, and there are pine trees around. If beach Greece is mostly rustic, then beach Croatia is more civilized. For those who choose a seaside holiday between Italy and Greece – Croatia is a compromise.
Air tickets to Croatia look here. Rent a car in Croatia: search and booking a car. We select hotels or apartments and book on booking.com.
Oyster farms in Croatia (oyster and wine tastings).
Gastronomic tourism in Europe in September
September in Europe is a month of summing up. The results of winemaking – wine. The result of agriculture is beer.
Italy in September
From 5 to 8 September Chianti Classico Wine Festival starts in Tuscany (Italy). The Chianti Festival is held in the town of Greve in Chianti south of Florence (30 km). The best option to visit this festival is to fly to Pisa ||| car rental at the airport ||| agriturismo nearby.
You need to have a Schengen visa, find and buy tickets on an air ticket search site (Pisa, Florence, a little further Milan or Rome are suitable).
Need to rent a car: How to rent a car in Italy, Vinsky’s advice.
It is better to stay in agriturismo – what is agriturismo in Italy or Agriturismo in Tuscany Chianti.
What else can you do in Italy in September: Hot air balloon flight over the hills of Tuscany. Last year I celebrated my birthday on Lake Como: Boat trip on Lake Como.
Hungary Budapest in September
If you don’t like Italy, go to Hungary (Budapest). BUDAPEST WINE FESTIVAL will be held in Budapest from 5 to 8 September . 200 wine producers from 15 countries will exhibit their products for tasting. Official website of the festival: https://aborfesztival.hu/en/
Accommodation in Budapest – a large selection of apartments (it’s better to stay in apartments, it’s cheaper). Uber taxi (no longer operating in Budapest) or Bolt. Yes, I forgot about the flights to Budapest.
Germany on September
From 6 to 10 and after from 13 to 16 September Germany hosts the world’s largest wine festival DÜRKHEIM’S WURSTMARKT . Official website https://www. bad-duerkheim.com/duerkheimer-wurstmarkt.html
The venue is a beautiful German town Bad Durkheim southwest of Frankfurt (air tickets to Frankfurt). Having bought tickets, do not forget that in Germany you need to rent a car
By the way, you can fly to Karlsruhe or Stuttgart – choose much cheaper. The choice of accommodation in Bad Durkheim is of course limited, but open the map on booking and find something nearby. The festival can be combined with a visit to Alsace in France – it’s nearby. My review of places on the Alsace wine route will help you.
Oktoberfest in September 2020 canceled
Despite its October name, the most famous Oktoberfest beer festival starts in September . You need Munich.
Air tickets to Munich look here. You can rent a car, or you can travel by public transport – it is well developed in Munich. Looking for housing in Munich now, the closer the opening of Oktoberfest, the more problematic it will be to find it. Oktoberfest Munich reviews.
These are the places I recommend visiting in September. As usual, I recommend preparing for the trip on your own – I don’t think that vouchers are sold to the places I recommended. And in order to make it clearer how to do it – read my articles on the site in sections:
– VISAS – AIR TICKETS – CAR RENTAL – HOUSING BOOKING.
Everything is written and I have nothing to add. Who wants, he can.

5 reasons to go to Europe in winter
We ride with a breeze
Together with the child
Towards summer
URI, Rum.
Winter is a great time to travel. When frost bites on the cheeks, a blizzard howls dejectedly and the sun hardly shows up, it is especially important to recharge with positive emotions and new impressions. Someone chooses tours to hot countries or tropical islands. Another part of the tourists is wondering where to go in winter to Europe. Christmas markets with New Year’s illumination, mountain trails, northern lights or the ruins of Ancient Greece in the warm rays of the January sun can give unforgettable emotions.
5 reasons to travel to Europe in winter
The cold season should not scare you away. Winter Europe will pleasantly please tourists:
Christmas mood and sales. Where else can you plunge into the atmosphere of a fairy tale, take a picture with a real Santa, try gingerbread with mulled wine, and buy inexpensive gifts for loved ones?
Price reduction. Traditionally, there is a lull in January. You will be able to buy tickets or book a hotel room much cheaper than usual.
Mild climate. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream in most European countries in winter it is much warmer than in Moscow. And it’s sunny in the south. The swimming season, of course, is officially closed, but this does not stop hardened Siberians.
No influx of tourists. Sightseeing lovers will be able to safely visit historical sites, imbued with their spirit, without pushing through the crowd.
Special winter atmosphere. Europe leads a measured, unhurried life in winter, which is interesting to watch from the outside. Sit in a cozy Parisian bar, walk along the snow-covered streets of Budapest, admire the icy castles of Romania, drink hot chocolate in Stockholm, looking at passers-by.
Let’s ride like a breeze
Skiers and snowboarders traditionally choose winter holidays in Europe. Where to go to enjoy the speed, beauty of snow-capped peaks and clean frosty air? You will be welcomed with pleasure:
The French Alps with picturesque landscapes and trails of varying difficulty, the total number of which has exceeded 4 thousand.
Switzerland, where St. Moritz is especially famous. It has hosted the Winter Olympics and World Championships several times.
Bavaria, where, in addition to tracks for real extreme sports, there are many gentle slopes suitable for beginner skiers and children.
Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia or Poland, where prices are lower, the infrastructure is not so rich, but the scenery is amazing, and the air is healing.
Together with a child
At the end of December, New Year holidays begin in schools and kindergartens. Many parents are wondering where to go to Europe in winter with a child. A storm of emotions in kids will cause a trip to Finland to the real Santa Claus. His residence is located 7 km from Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. The child will surely want to sit on the lap of a kind grandfather, ride live reindeer, visit an ice hotel and see an underground park where elves live.
Fairs that open at the end of December in Germany, Vienna, London, Strasbourg, Prague and Brussels can also create a bright Christmas mood. With the whole family, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of celebration and fun, become spectators of theatrical and musical shows, stock up on souvenirs, eat gingerbread and traditional dishes. And after January 1, when the celebration of Christmas is over, you can visit local museums and attractions.
Flying
Many people dream of running away from frost and snowdrifts to somewhere warm. Where to go in Europe in winter to enjoy the sun and get a tan? Quite a comfortable temperature will please you:
Canary and Balearic Islands in Spain. The air here warms up to +23 degrees. This is enough to get a beautiful tan on the beach. You can swim in the heated pool. True, Russian heroes boldly dive into the ocean, surprising the locals.
Greece. The heat subsides in winter, but the temperature ranges from +15 to +23 degrees. The number of tourists is decreasing, which means that you can safely visit the Diktea cave in Crete, where Zeus the Thunderer was once born. Or the Athenian Acropolis and Parthenon.
Maider Island in Portugal. Here the air warms up above +18 degrees. You can swim in warm pools formed from volcanic lava.
South of Italy. It is especially warm in Sicily, where at +20 degrees you can sunbathe on the beach.
In pursuit of sales
If you time your trip to the discount season, you can save up to 70-90% of the amount when buying stylish designer items. Where can you go in winter in Europe to do your favorite shopping? Reviews of tourists indicate that discounts are the norm for all countries. They start from the last week of December, and reach their maximum in February. The most profitable destinations are:
Berlin. Here you can buy shoes and clothes from famous fashion designers. It is worth going after December 25th. Huge discounts last for two weeks, people queue up in stores even before they open.
Madrid. People come here for leather bags, shoes, belts. Sales last from January 1 to the end of March, but all the best is sorted out at the very beginning.
Milan. From here they bring clothes, shoes, bed linen, dishes, jewelry. Discount ads are posted on January 4 and removed exactly 60 days later.
Hooray, carnival!
Lovers of fun, dancing and costume shows can safely go to Europe in winter. Where is the best place to go to plunge into the holiday atmosphere, bright colors, balls and fireworks? In February, beautiful carnivals will meet you:
Venice. During the holiday, the city turns into a theater stage. Each year the carnival is dedicated to a specific theme. You can admire the luxurious costumes and masks made in a special Venetian style for a long time.
Barcelona. During the week, the city is filled with animators, jugglers, circus performers. Since the national product is the orange, orange balloons and confetti fly everywhere.
Nice. Tourists will surely remember the giant papier-mâché dolls, as well as the parade of flowers and lights.
Germany. Holidays here are held in several cities at once. It all starts with the “woman’s storm” of the city hall. Then a costume procession starts, during which sweets fly at the audience.
In search of romance
Where can a couple in love go on holiday in Europe in winter? Of course, to Paris. Kissing at the Eiffel Tower. Magical night lights. Wall with declarations of love in Montmartre. Archeveshe bridge, on which you can hang a padlock as a sign of strong feelings. A cafe where you will be given mulled wine and a warm blanket. Even slush on the roads will not be able to spoil your romantic mood.
On the eve of February 14, you can visit the Italian Verona, where the legendary Romeo and Juliet fell in love. The city is beautifully decorated with red heart-shaped lanterns, performances are played on the streets, music sounds, fairs work. On the day of the holiday, interesting events are held in Piazza dei Signori, including a kiss of couples for a minute, after which confetti fly up into the sky – “Sighs of Love”.
Lovers of mysticism
Many tourists are attracted by everything mysterious and unknown. Where to go to Europe in winter to tickle your nerves? Of course, there are many places in the Old World where ghosts live and chilling legends come to life. You can visit:
Dracula’s Castle. It is located in Romania, in the city of Brasov. The ancient walls covered with snow look impressive. Tourists will be introduced to the terrible secrets of Vlad the Impaler, who was immortalized in the famous novel under the name of Dracula. There are several more ancient fortresses in the district, a visit to which will allow you to mentally travel back to the Middle Ages.
Prague in winter is extraordinarily beautiful and, as always, full of secrets. It is here that you can find the House of Faust, meet the spirits of Jan Hus and Yachim Berkha, see the clay Golem at night, animated by Kabbalists.
The city of Edinburgh (Scotland) has the beautiful gardens of Princess Street, majestic castles and the throne of King Arthur, and also Mary King’s dead end. Once upon a time, people infected with the plague were brought here to die. The spirit of one of the dead girls, Annie, still frightens passers-by with her touches and Scottish songs.

When choosing where to travel to Europe in winter, ask:
If some ferry, bus and train routes have been cancelled.

Snow-covered cities, endemic influenza, short daylight hours, slush, frost and blues – this is the other side of the coin called “Russian winter”. The soul craves the exotic, and the body tired of beriberi – a powerful influx of vitamin D, which, as you know, is produced from sunlight.

Golf del Sur
Est. 1987
Golf del Sur: Comprising three excellent nine-hole loops, the Links (A-course), North (B-course) and South (C-course), Golf del Sur has matured into a very attractive parkland layout since opening in 1987. Many flowering shrubs and bushes screen out the rugged desert and occasional housing that lies just beyond the course, creating something of a garden-like feel to this ever-undulating and nicely testing layout. On all three nines, black sand bunkers and a variety of palms, cactus and many other plants and trees create good definition to the holes. Exuberant flowering shrubs also provide many additional splashes of colour. The generally good-width fairways and easy-going grassy rough should inspire confidence from the tee, but beware the occasional “hidden” water hazards that might catch you out. From the course you will enjoy continual views onto the wide Atlantic Ocean, while inland the craggy peaks and gullies of the island’s (inactive) volcanic mountains ensure a spectacular backdrop to many holes. The parkland-style Links course takes you downhill and seaward before looping back up to the clubhouse. A change of scene awaits on the more open but equally challenging North course, which skirts alongside a rugged and open desert plain. In the foreground you can peer into a deep ravine, while further in the distance the landing strip of Tenerife’s South airport can be seen. On both the Links and North courses, the opening hole is played towards a distinctive rock formation (known as montaña roja, or Red Mountain) that boldly juts out into sea.

three to five tapas bars, smoothly “flowing” from one place to another

house nina al pisto. You won’t go wrong if you stop by the Paca bar.
And if you go to the side of the embankment, then don’t miss the Bodega
La Venencia and Taberna Santiago. For Michelin star lovers
the old town hides its pearl – La Esquina restaurant –
for only seven tables, the chef of which was awarded one Michel-
new star.
Speaking about the culinary traditions of Marbella, one cannot fail to mention
eat coastal “chiringuito” – restaurants with plastic
tables and chairs, located at the very edge of the water.
The freshest seafood and fish caught in the morning will be
given to the table and will pleasantly please not only the stomach, but also the
lek. You can easily identify these restaurants by turning
drawn wooden boats, on which on wooden skewers
sardines are fried – “espeto de sardinas”. Don’t miss Nuevo
Reino, La Red or just go to the fishing port of Marbe-
li – Puerto Pesquero.

When visiting Marbella for the first time, everyone sets two standard
questions about bullfighting and flamenco. And it is no coincidence that both of these
the words in our minds are inextricably linked with the symbols of the south Is-
pania. Traditionally bullfighting takes place on Sundays. Bi-

the rays of the sun are very tiring even for experienced ones. Most for-
snatching bullfights take place in the summer during the “feria” – on-
native festivities. At this time of the year, the city hall is shelling out-
Xia to bring famous bullfighters and thereby
make your residents happy. You should not go to novillada – bullfighting,
in which young bullfighters participate – recent graduates
specialized bullfighter schools. In such a bullfight, the bulls are less
of impressive size, but due to lack of experience, such a bullfight
sometimes it turns into a bloodbath…
It cannot be said that you have comprehended the enchanting magic of the south of Spain.

A UV index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
Take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly.
Minimize sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If outdoors, seek shade and wear sun protective clothing,
a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen
every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.

Where does this data come from?
Weather data for Golf del Sur was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in May (e.g., May 1, May 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

Tranio.Ru, a real estate buyer tells
Many visitors of Tranio.Ru were interested in the experience of a real estate buyer in Tenerife. Therefore, we continue the story about this Spanish island.
Today our interlocutor is Margarita Novikova , luxury interior designer. Most of her clients are Russian-speaking owners of overseas real estate. And a few years ago, Margarita herself got an apartment in Golf del Sur in the south of Tenerife.
— Margarita, how long have you been doing interior design?
– About fifteen years old. I am a so-called “pocket” designer: clients come to me on the recommendations of acquaintances who used to be my customers. I see my task in making the interior inspire people, energize, help achieve goals, or even radically change lives for the better.
— Do you often go abroad?
– I live abroad for six months a year. My main base is in Spain, and from there I often fly to Paris. For me, this is the most amazing place on earth, where I draw inspiration. I visit other countries almost every week; for example, China and Hong Kong made a huge impression on me.
— Why did you decide to settle in Tenerife?
– Followed in the footsteps of friends. My friends live there, I liked visiting there, so I decided to buy property in Tenerife in order to regularly spend my holidays. But after a while, work found me there too. As a result, on my account – the design of the hotel, the club and several villas.
Because of the mild climate, Tenerife is called the “island of eternal spring”
— How long ago did you buy an apartment?
— This is my second home in Tenerife. The first apartment was a “secondary”, I bought it in 2008, just before the crisis. Then I sold a one-bedroom apartment in Moscow on Nagornaya Street and bought a one-bedroom apartment in Golf del Sur. Sold 40 square meters, bought 60; there was still money left.
And I bought the second apartment – already in a new building – in 2012, taking a mortgage at 3.5% per annum.
— Was the apartment ready for living immediately after the purchase, or did you “bring it to mind”?
— No, everything was ready. New apartments in Tenerife are now being sold with finishing, plumbing and kitchen, and sometimes even with built-in appliances. Of course, I was fully engaged in the design of my apartment myself.
– Did I understand correctly that you bought an apartment in an apartment building?
– This is not quite an apartment building in the Russian sense. This is a 4-storey building, which includes one house with six entrances and two houses with two entrances. The ground floor apartments have a garden or even two. And the last floors have a so-called solarium – this is an exit to a personal roof where you can place sun loungers or a barbecue. There is also a communal pool.
The apartment buildings have a communal swimming pool, so residents don’t have to go far to swim.
My apartment occupies all four floors. It has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, three bathrooms, a solarium and a garden with palm trees. The garden is equipped with automatic watering, so its care does not require much work. A personal garage opens into the garden, from which I made a cinema. There are two more terraces: one can be accessed from the living room, the other from the master bedroom.
Unfortunately, I cannot call my home spacious: the size of the master bedroom is about 15 m², the other bedrooms are 10–12 m². Buildings on the island are built with residents spending a lot of time outdoors, so it’s hard to find accommodation with large bedrooms, unless we’re talking about villas.
— Are there any other differences between typical real estate in Tenerife and Moscow?
— There is no central heating anywhere. But due to the hot climate, this is not a problem. Fireplaces are provided in houses located in the mountains.
To protect from the sun, special fabric awnings are installed over windows or balconies.
From the scorching sun, you can hide under the tello – fabric awnings that are installed over windows or balconies
— By the way, about the climate. Are you satisfied with the weather in Tenerife? Don’t have to suffer from the heat?
– No, the heat does not bother me, I even do without air conditioning. Sometimes I suffer only from the wind. Golf del Sur is almost the southernmost point of the island and winds are a frequent occurrence in the area.
In general, in Tenerife, the south is very different from the north. It is always sunny in the south and it rarely rains. And the north is full of greenery, but subject to fogs; it is cooler and rainier there.
— Do you have a sea view from your windows?
— No, my house is about 500 meters from the ocean. If you settle even closer, this is fraught with the appearance of a fungus in the house due to constant dampness.
But I live on golf courses, so the view from my window is quite beautiful.
— How do you spend your time in Tenerife?
— First of all, I have a lot of work to do here. There are a lot of Russians on the island who buy houses and entrust me with decorating the interior. I have just returned from another construction site, where I spent several days almost without getting out.
In my free time I spend with my family, play golf, ride a bike. Sometimes parents and friends come. Most of my friends here have Spanish husbands, and we often communicate in such an international company.
In general, you can find leisure activities of any format on the island. There are cinemas, and concerts, and sports, and clubs . ..
There are plenty of opportunities for interesting pastime in Tenerife, for example, many people choose to play golf
— How are things with shopping? Food, clothing, everyday items?
– I eat mostly in cafes. The food here is delicious, fresh and, so to speak, business-like. A grocery basket with everything you need costs 80 euros per week. A good wine can cost as little as 3 euros per bottle, and it will be a well-known Spanish brand.
Clothes here are several times cheaper than in Russia. There are many outlet stores with good stylish items. And thanks to the warm climate, you won’t need a lot of clothes.
The beach season in Tenerife lasts all year round
It is difficult to get around on the island without a car, but car rental is also cheap compared to mainland Europe: only 16-20 euros per day.
In general, Tenerife is a low tax area, so all prices are very low.
— Does this also apply to the service sector? For example, minor repairs?
— Yes, most services are also inexpensive. However, sometimes I have to hide the fact that I am from Russia, especially if you need to do something around the house: otherwise, prices can be doubled. The only problem with minor repairs is the national slowness of the Spaniards. According to my observations, they generally do not like to work very much.
— What about the language barrier? I heard that the locals don’t speak English well…
– I wouldn’t say that. Even the gardener speaks everyday English. However, the Spaniards are very friendly guys; even if you do not speak any language, they will try to understand and help you.
– You have to pay two real estate taxes: one municipal and one as a foreign owner. Are you frustrated by taxes and other housing costs?
– Not at all upsetting. Both taxes together cost no more than 600 euros per year. There is also a condominium payment – an average of 80 euros per month. This money is used to maintain the pool, clean the territory and common areas. Another approximately 15 euros per month is the subscription fee for electricity and water. True, it is written off even for the time when you do not live in your apartment.
The order of maintenance of common areas is determined by the council of condominium owners
— By the way, you mentioned that you live abroad only six months a year. Is it because of visa restrictions?
— Exactly, this applies to all Russians. I am issued a Schengen visa category C for a period of two years; the period of stay should not exceed 90 days in each half-year. In principle, it is possible to obtain a residence permit, but it is rather dreary, so I have not dealt with this issue yet.
— During the time that you live in Tenerife, have you been disappointed in this place?
– Absolutely not disappointed, rather the opposite. Good climate, everything you need for life and work, everything is very cheap, there are more and more friends and clients – in general, I do not regret at all that I settled here. If you are in Tenerife, come visit.

Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such as sleet, snow, hail and drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time.
This number shows the air temperature for the time period. You can see the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit by using the dropdown menu.
Feels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time.
Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull.
Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more.
The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass).
The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
Los Gigantes experiences significant seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.
The muggier period of the year lasts for 4.5 months, from June 21 to November 7, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 12% of the time. The month with the most muggy days in Los Gigantes is August, with 13.1 days that are muggy or worse.
The month with the fewest muggy days in Los Gigantes is January, with 0.1 days that are muggy or worse.

Methodology
For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.
Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.
Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0. 04 inches of precipitation or more.
Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.
Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.
Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).
Temperatures in Los Gigantes are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Los Gigantes are 28.244 deg latitude, -16.842 deg longitude, and 75 ft elevation.
The topography within 2 miles of Los Gigantes contains large variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 2,598 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 483 feet. Within 10 miles contains large variations in elevation (8,917 feet). Within 50 miles also contains extreme variations in elevation (12,159 feet).
The area within 2 miles of Los Gigantes is covered by water (53%), shrubs (22%), and cropland (16%), within 10 miles by water (50%) and shrubs (22%), and within 50 miles by water (88%).
This report illustrates the typical weather in Los Gigantes, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.
Temperature and Dew Point
There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Los Gigantes.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Los Gigantes according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Los Gigantes is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Los Gigantes and a given station.
The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:
Tenerife South Airport (GCTS, 83%, 21 mi, southeast, 131 ft elevation change)
La Palma Airport (GCLA, 17%, 62 mi, northwest, 30 ft elevation change)
To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Los Gigantes and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source’s contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.
Other Data
All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.
All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.
Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database .
Time zones for airports and weather stations are provided by AskGeo.com .
The information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site.
We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

Weather in Los Cristianos
Weather in Tenerife in July and water temperature in the resorts
In July, real summer begins in Tenerife. Daytime temperatures in the shade reach 30°C, and sometimes even higher. The nights are only slightly cooler, around 27°C. However, due to the location of Tenerife and the ocean winds, there is no intense heat here, and it is not stuffy at night.
There is practically no rain in the south in July, clouds are quite rare. In the north, clouds are more frequent, up to several days a month, and on average there is 1 rainy day in July.
Ocean water close to maximum temperature, mean temperature above 22°C.
In my opinion, July is perfect for both summer beach holidays and excursions.
CONTENTS
Where to swim in Tenerife in July
In July, you can swim almost everywhere in Tenerife. In the ocean, the water warms up well, many tourist beaches are made in bays, so the temperature is quite comfortable for swimming, more than 22 ° C.
Remember that Tenerife and other Canary Islands are located in the Atlantic Ocean, so the water temperature in summer is several degrees lower than in the Mediterranean resorts. Compared to Barcelona or Valencia, the water in the ocean may seem cooler.
Browse our selection of Tenerife beachfront hotels to find the best option for your oceanfront holiday.
Be sure to take a dip in one of Tenerife’s natural volcanic pools. Water usually warms up faster in them than in the ocean, but it also cools faster. In my opinion, the best time to visit the volcanic pools is the first half of the day.
The weather in the south of Tenerife in July
The weather in the most popular tourist resorts in the south of Tenerife, such as Costa Adeje, Las Americas and Los Cristianos in July, is almost the same, so for example I give information on the weather in Costa Adeje. This is a good option for families and holidays with children in July in Tenerife.
Air temperature
The air temperature in the southern part of Tenerife, in the area of Costa Adeje, reaches 28 °C during the day, it can be much over 30 °C in the sun. At night, the average temperature is about 22 °C, but sometimes it can drop to 15-16 °C.
Water temperature
The water temperature in July in Costa Adeje is around 22-23 °C. On the most popular beaches in shallow bays, the water warms up even more, so swimming is very pleasant.
Number of sunny days

Los Gigantes and a boat trip to the ocean: review, photo, what to see
Today I want to tell you a scary tale about a mysterious place in Tenerife called Los Gigantes. From the name you can guess that we are talking about something huge, gigantic. In fact, under such a loud name hides an elite resort town in the west of Tenerife, which owes its name to the huge rocks that literally step on the ocean. These giants reach a height of up to 500 meters, being, as it were, an obstacle to the ocean. Maybe the cliffs of Los Gigantes protect something important from the powerful force of water?
On one of our relaxing days in Tenerife, we decided to take a trip to several places of interest on the island. I really wanted to sail on a boat along the ocean along the famous cliffs of Los Gigantes, and at the same time see dolphins and whales in the wild. At least, this was promised by the advertising booklets of such excursions. Since we had a rented car, we were not going to take an excursion and went to the Los Gigantes pier on our own with the hope of buying a boat ride on the spot. Our friendly company split into two groups: we went on a trip in one car, and most of the people put on “striped swimsuits” and went to the black volcanic beach to ride the waves.
As usual in Tenerife, the weather was beautiful, the sun was shining brightly, a light breeze was blowing from the ocean. And who would have known that an adventure would happen to us, and we would catch so much adrenaline. But more on that later. To begin with, we decided to stop by Monkey Park, which is located a short drive from our hotel in Las Americas.
The park is small, without pathos and a lot of advertising, like Loro Park, so finding it is not so easy without a navigator. We twirled around a bit, turned on the GPS on our phone, and finally parked in front of the entrance. I talked about Monkey Park separately, because it is really worthy of attention. Where else can you hand-feed lemurs, pet them and interact with a beautiful chimpanzee?
After the park and communication with the tailed ones, we headed for the city of Los Gigantes, which is located near huge rocks that come close to the ocean.
Before my trip to Tenerife, I read on the Internet that boat trips along the cliffs of Los Gigantes promise that tourists will see dolphins and small whales (which are really just a kind of dolphin). It seems to me that Vadik went with us only because of this, he really wanted to “see dolphins in nature”. You can get to Los Gigantes (west of the island) from the south along a longer path along the sea, but without a serpentine, or you can cut and ride along an extreme serpentine. Have you already guessed that we went to the extreme? It was very cool! The road looped sharply up, then down, then through small towns. We drove through banana plantations, completely crazy and blind turns, but due to the lack of oncoming cars, it was not scary at all.
In Los Gigantes, you can park on the promenade, paying a couple of euros for such pleasure. It seems to me that it is easier to pay than to tediously look for a consolidated place for free parking in the narrow streets of the city. Los Gigantes made a good impression. A pretty town on the seashore, beautiful houses with typical Canarian balconies, restaurants and tourists of “European appearance”.
A walk around the city was not included in our plans, because there are no special sights in it, so we immediately drove to the pier. At this parking lot, we were immediately sold a boat tour, which started in 15 minutes. The nice girl at the sales desk promised “Dolphins in Open Ocean”, a great captain and an exciting walk with beautiful views. It seemed to me that we were wildly lucky, because everything was as we wanted: the tour is only 1.5 hours, it is inexpensive (about 15 euros), the departure is now, there is no need to wait and waste time, they promise dolphins. Let’s go! We quickly climbed into a boat for about twenty people, in such people they usually swim along rivers. Perhaps it was a boat, I do not understand them. In the vessel, besides us, about fifteen European pensioners and a company of young people from Poland had fun. The three of us lounged imposingly on the back of the boat, I took out my camera. We swam.
Then something unimaginable and inexplicable happened to me. The sun disappeared somewhere, the rocks were covered with gray-black clouds, the kind ocean began to shake and toss our boat on the waves. I jumped up and stood in the middle, holding on to the handrail, as if in a trolleybus by some kind of crossbar.
The captain rules, the pensioners are also having fun… but I was somehow scared. The boat is so small, and the waves are so big that it splashes inward. We haven’t even left the harbor yet. I see that the guys are also somehow not happy with everything that is happening, they rummage around in search of a lifebuoy and a whistle to scare away sharks.
– Can we give the captain 50 euros to bring us back to shore? I suggested to my friends.
– Come on… – they said, smiling with all 32 teeth. But I saw that it was not only me who was afraid.
In the meantime, we went out into the open ocean. I stood, or rather, hung on the crossbar in the middle of the boat, because it seemed to me that it was shaking less, and I could control my balance. Sitting on the side benches was unbearable. I honestly tried when a European old woman sat me down next to me, but every time this vessel tilted it seemed to me that I would fall into the sea. She hung and tried to calm herself by the fact that the captain swims here every day, he knows when it is impossible to go out into the ocean.
I even tried to take pictures.
Shake the beginning even harder, it started to rain. The boat jumped on the waves like a float, leaning one way or the other. It looks like we’re caught in a storm. The next 20 minutes seemed like an eternity to me, because this damn boat was barely crawling along the rocks and did not want to turn around. The wind drove huge waves to the cliffs of Los Gigantes, they hit them and raced back at us at breakneck speed.
The pensioners did not waste any time: they pestered the captain with questions, and then they found a cockroach and began to crush it with a slipper. They are having fun, damn it … but it seemed to me that we were about to turn over the fuck! Well, I’ll swim to the shore, but I have my passport with me, it will get wet, how will I fly home? After some time, a light appeared ahead, like the clouds began to disperse, and I had hope for salvation.
I saw an island of the plain with a pier, on which two more pensioners were trampling. On the Internet, I saw photos of the beach, to which people who made a hike through the Maska Gorge come out. It was exactly that beach and that pier. We grabbed grandpa and grandma and sailed on. Not! No, I want to go to the beach. Another fifteen minutes of fear, and the boat stopped in a fairly closed bay, where we were not thrown like a booger by the waves.
I flopped down on the seat and thought how good it was… no chatting, close to the shore, no rain… The captain offered everyone free drinks and nuts. Nothing really stuck in our throats, and the pensioners cracked both cheeks and still had fun.
– Why aren’t they scared and have so much fun?
– Why should they be afraid, they have already lived their lives, – Vadik answered.
– Well, yes, yes…
In general, the rocks are really beautiful.
Finally, the boat turned around and rushed towards the shore at breakneck speed. The captain accelerated well, so we flew almost over the waves, we were not so much thrown and thrown up.
I was able to relax and hypnotize the coast of the city of Los Gigantes, which was gradually approaching.
By that time the weather began to improve again, the sun came out. We went ashore, rocking, as if drunk, but happy to be alive. With sadness they remembered that they wanted to see dolphins and whales, jumped into the car and rushed away from these rocks. Our beloved pensioners walked along the embankment and happily waved their little hands after us. I want to be the same at their age. In general, I do not advise you to get into all sorts of small boats, because you most likely will not see dolphins and whales. Around the pier, many different excursions are sold, do not rush, like us, it is better to look at a few offers. It may be better to choose a big ship that runs for 3 hours and guarantees whales, because it seems to know the places and take bait with it. We decided to send further to the mountains, to the north of the island, to Garachico. But nature was against us that day. Again a storm came up, it began to rain, the sky was covered with low clouds. We courageously drove along the serpentine, hoping that all this would end soon. But here on the road, more and more often, split cobblestones began to come across, which obviously fell off the mountain. In such a situation, there is no time for extreme sports, it is really dangerous, and you can be left without a head.

Parador La Palma Parador Spain
This is a recently constructed Parador® with traditional Canary Island architecture in an area of great scenic beauty
It is close to the capital of the island and also to the airport. The island is quiet and peaceful and thought by many to be the most beautiful of the islands.
It is surrounded by gardens, full of native plants and fruit trees, which are identified by their scientific names.
From Parador® of La Palma there are extensive views over the Atlantic ocean. It is thought that the first people to colonise this island came across these seas from Africa and adorned their caves with the rock paintings which nowadays can be seen in the many archaeological sites on the island.
These first tribes must have been hopeless sailors because there are well known differences between the people on the various Canary Islands indicating separate development. The islanders on each island have different features as well as social organisation, family structures and traditional houses.
These early inhabitants, when sharing the harvest among the family group, would give a pregnant women a double ration but robbing a neighbour was a reason for honour and distinction.
The local festival of Santa Cruz is interesting to attend which is held on May 3rd. every year. The descent of the Virgen de las Nieves (Virgin of the Snows) takes place in Santa Cruz every five years.
Visits should be made to the National Park of Caldera de Taburiente, to the Llanos de Aridane, and to the International observatories in the Lime tree Forest in the Sauces area. Closer at hand the old quarter of Santa Cruz has been declared of “Historical and Artistic Heritage”.
The restaurant specialises in the local dishes but does have international dishes on the menu, The is also a special gluten free menu. recommended dishes include watercress or chick pea broth made with varied meats. Also recommended are the fresh, grilled or parboiled fishes, served with a good ”mojo” (typical Canary Island sauce). These dishes may be enjoyed accompanied by a glass of La Palma wine.
The hotel has 4 fully equipped conference suites catering from 20 persons to 200 persons.
The Parador® La Palma has sixty five twin bedded rooms and thirteen double bedded rooms.
In the rooms there is a telephone, television with canal plus, safe and mini bar.
La Palma Parador® also has heating, currency exchange, lift, parking facilities (without security and limited places), satellite television, gift shop, free wireless internet, air conditioning, gymnasium, sauna, seasonal swimming pool, garden, children play area, restaurant, bar, conference facilities and facilities for the disabled.
Distance from the nearest airport is approximately 5 kms and the nearest port is 8 kms away.
Animals are not allowed.

My wife is suffering from Parkinson’s, and we were concerned about the room we had reserved. No reason to worry it appeared. The room was perfect. However, new worry: Would I be able to carry out the functions that healtcare do home in Norway? After explaining the problem to the friendly staff at the reception a very able lady turned up from the nearest village. Not only did she accompany my wife in the bathroom and around the hotel. She learned us some useful Spanish, and made our stay enjoyable in such a way that we definitely will come back.
You will get her name if you contact the hotel.

We had a very nice holiday. What follows may be helpful. The published directions from the airport to the parador are confusing. It would be better to tell guests to take the main road from the airport to Sta Cruz, turning off at the roundabout signposted for Llos Lanos and Los Canarios, to take the turning for Los Canarios and drive to the 1st set of traffic lights (at San Antonio) and then to turn right at the lights and follow the main road for just under a kilometer.
We were very pleased with the Parador and with our holiday.

Among all the Paradores I have stayed throughout many years traveling to
Spain the La Pama one is my favorite .
The Staff is very friendly and I feel like coming home as soon as I register at the reception.
All is perfect,the rooms are comfortable and cery clean .The ambient is calm, the staff helpfull and friendly.
The Breakfast excellent in a nice atmosphaere.
Even that it rained ” cats and dogs” before christmas I felt secure and protected within the walls.
I surely will come back.
Paradores are one of the nicest things Spain offers.
Best regards

In glorious isolation, on the hillside of Breña Baja above the east coast of La Palma, just 5km from the airport where there are hourly flights from Tenerife North, and 8km from the main town and port of Santa Cruz de La Palma where there’s a daily ferry service from south Tenerife. A bus runs into Santa Cruz from the end of the road every 30 minutes, but if you’re not a hiker, you’ll need a car to explore more widely.
Style and Character

Like all the Canary Islands’ paradors, La Palma is built in traditional Canarian style featuring local stone, wood and tiles. The reception, lounges and dining rooms are set around an open patio garden, and wooden balconies adorn exterior walls. Floral soft furnishings, polished floors and period furniture are nicely offset by modern abstract art and contemporary creature comforts such as spa facilities and Wi-Fi.

On sunny mornings, breakfast can be enjoyed from the large outside terrace while watching the sun rise over Mount Teide. Fresh tropical fruits, local speciality meats and cheeses, breads, cereals and an extensive selection of hot dishes are accompanied by a cake selection that is too good to deny yourself. Dinner is a set menu for half-board guests and includes fresh produce from the garden, like our cauliflower cheese starter, and a savoury selection of meats, fish and vegetarian dishes. The chocolate Coulant dessert was particularly good.

Seems like the hotel needs to do some upgrades. Broken tile on the patio outside our room, keys from the 1970’s, mold in the silicone in the shower. Beds squeak and are not very comfortable.

Not bad but not great.
Decent spot, service was ok – left a little to be desired e.g. wouldn’t provide a bottle of water at 11.01pm because room-service was closed – even though the next night we were able to get water at 11.35pm.
Nice views, nice couryard, rooms ok. Not bad but not great.
Very nice place super friendly cleaners and waiting staff but service and friendliness by mid range and above staff a bit off probably due to them being public sector employees
The tranquility and beautiful gardens, seeing the sparrow hawk sitting on window sills and crying out to his mother was fantastic.
The steps to the sauna need refreshing please..
Lovely, historic building, cool, shady public areas with lovely views overlooking the bay. Beautiful gardens though down a steep slope. Very good size room with balcony and seating area. Excellent breakfast choice. Taxi to airport or Santa Cruz c12€.
Lovely hotel surrounded by beautiful gardens with plenty of public areas to sit and relax. It is a little isolated – but only 15 minutes into town on the bus.
Hotel generally OK, gardens very nice, swimming pool unheated and could do with a clean but our stay was out of season. Room and hotel interior comfortable. Easy to find from airport and town. One price for breakfast, therefore expensive for Continental for my wife but acceptable for Full for me. Only had one dinner, expensive and disappointing compared to local restaurants.

4 km from the airport

All hotel services
destinations that allow you to retire and fully enjoy the natural beauties. Often you want not even a special exotic, but the usual homely atmosphere – warm, enveloping and very cozy. This is probably why secluded resort areas such as the Spanish island of La Palma are becoming especially popular.
Mass tourism has not yet arrived here, which is understandable: there are not so many comfortable beaches here. But these places are very picturesque: a small volcanic island is buried in tropical gardens, the entire hotel infrastructure is dispersed on the hills, so the ocean remains far below. Low-rise hotel buildings fit neatly into the existing landscape, which becomes part of the exterior. So the Parador de la Palma hotel, built in the town of Brenia Baja, was no exception. Its two-story pink buildings are surrounded by magnificent nature: it is pleasant to live and walk here, exploring every corner of the artfully cultivated garden. The aroma of herbs is such that the city dweller begins to feel dizzy from this intoxicating smell. And from the observation decks offer stunning views of the ocean.
The interiors of the Parador de la Palma are decorated in a traditional style for the Canary Islands, which is a bit reminiscent of a colonial country: strict geometric shapes, soft pastel colors in the decoration, a lot of dark wood, textured textiles, from which not only curtains are sewn, but also canopies of large double beds. The number of rooms is small: seventy-eight offers. All of them are standard. The rooms are only double: cozy and colorful. On the one hand, there is everything for a good rest: air conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, mini-bar, bathroom and a balcony overlooking the ocean. On the other hand, many interior items seem to have come to us from the past: furniture stylized as classics, thick massive curtains, side benches, high headboards, muted colors.
Parador de la Palma is a representative of the chain industry. It is part of the hotel conglomerate Paradores de Turismo de Espana, but despite the general conceptual focus, it has managed to retain its individual features. Every corner of the interior space is devoid of tiring fuss, so it is easy to find a secluded corner on the territory of the hotel where you can hide from prying eyes and immerse yourself in the languid bliss of relaxation.
And if you still want to feel the life of the island, look at its inhabitants, and at the same time taste the local cuisine, you just need to go to the neighboring towns, where there are many restaurants and cafes – for example, Palo Palo and Casa Osmunda in Brena Alta or Tuina in Playa de los Cancajos.
The island is small, there is a connection with Tenerife, the airport is within easy reach – only four kilometers, so that every tourist can get anywhere in the country. Such relative isolation is like a welcome gift. Here, someone sits and enjoys a colorful sunset, listening to the trills of a restless cricket, and five minutes later, having rented a car, he is already rushing towards the nightlife of the Spanish resort, which is full of light, music and dancing until morning

Good afternoon, friends! You have already gone on vacation cruises for the second or even third round, and you have already booked a summer vacation, but I still won’t report on last year’s Canary Islands. This is probably because every time we have to fill in the empty pages of our site not only in the directions sections, but also open for you, my dear, new amazing hotels (once upon a time I thought that it was for these purposes that there our site, which in the process turned into a social network). So this time, many of you, after reading the title of my opus and seeing the direction, thought to yourself: “I certainly was here.” Well, if you were, then please answer this question: “What is on the mountain, which we all rest on our foreheads, getting off the Fred Olsen ferry during a one-day excursion to the amazing island of La Gomera?” That’s it. Do not know! Therefore, as always, I invite you to sit back, pour tea, coffee, let’s dance, take more cookies or some sandwiches and get real pleasure from reading and new small and big discoveries. This is, for starters, an introduction – in the style of our site. Thirteen years ago, while living at the Arona Grand Hotel, in the picturesque area of Los Cristianos, when I woke up in the morning and stepped out onto the balcony, the first thing I saw was the Fred Olsen ferry. Subsequently, I learned about the routes of his movement and about one-day excursions to La Gomera. But, apparently, considering then that such a wonderful island deserves more than a one-day visit or entry into it from a cruise ship, he postponed the visit for as long as thirteen years. And now it came true. Only we got to the island not by ferry, but by local airlines Binter Canarias, having flown to it after a fantastic vacation on the greenest island of the Canary Islands, La Palma, with a traditional transfer at the North Airport of Tenerife. The road from the airport to the hotel along the picturesque serpentines of the island can already be considered as a small excursion. Moreover, the path is not close precisely because of the serpentines. Enjoying the views and capturing the most beautiful landscapes on a video camera along the way (which, as you understand, is impossible if you rent a car), we approached the capital of the island, the town of San Sebastian de la Gomera. It’s a beautiful sight, as you know. But I also knew that the most beautiful views of this city would open to us from the very mountain that I mentioned two paragraphs earlier. And on this mountain, my friends, we are now, winding through the streets of San Sebastian and, climbing higher and higher, we are on our way. And this hill is of interest to us for the reason that it houses the best hotel on the island of La Gomera. And it is from this hotel that we will subsequently watch how you get out and leave the belly of the Fred Olsen or Armas ferries in the morning, immerse yourself in crowds in sightseeing buses, and in the evening we will see you off with a bird’s eye view in anticipation of another gourmet dinner a la cart from the hotel chef. Hotel Parador De La Gomera. Our third Parador in a 25 day Western Canary Islands tour. Among the three Paradors, this was the most expensive component. Booked three nights. Not enough for La Gomera, but what can you do. The hotel, as I said, is located on the mountain. Despite the natural beauty of the island, I consider the location of the hotel to be the best and unique (which is inherent, in general, to all hotels of this chain). Views of the city of San Sebastian de la Gomera, the ocean and the island of Tenerife from a bird’s eye view from the series that you will remember for a lifetime! Well, a special pleasure is watching from above the movement in the port and the arrival and departure of the Fred Olsen and Armas ferries. You can clearly see all the logistics and harmony of the port. It turns out that you can endlessly not only watch how the fire burns, water flows or another person works, but also enjoy the work of the port from a bird’s eye view. My words will complement the pictures that you are unlikely to be able to take during a day trip to the island, unless you visited the hotel itself. The hotel building is traditionally old, in wooden tones. There are paintings everywhere and a quiet peaceful atmosphere. You are in another dimension. As a rule, respectable Spanish families rest here, La Gomera nobility, I would say. For some reason, the imagination of our tourist brother is not enough for Paradors. This is not Playa de Las Americas! The hotel area is also very interesting. It is a botanical garden with all sorts of unique trees and plants, which is a pleasure to walk slowly. Everywhere there are benches and tables so that you can sit down, relax and admire. First of all, crazy views that open from everywhere! I remind you that we are very high, above all this tourist fuss. I booked a room of the highest category – junior suite. It was located at the very back of the hotel, in the most secluded part of it. Only we and the mighty Atlantic Ocean on the horizon. You had to walk through the entire hotel to get to your room, which was not at all tiring, because on the way there and back you can always stop to study this or that picture, and just enjoy the architecture and interior decoration of the hotel. A two-room suite, which could not but rejoice us. There is a good swimming pool on the territory of the hotel, in which I did not have a chance to swim in four days due to a busy program, and in the city itself there are three excellent beaches, one of which I chose in the future. Nutrition. As in the previous Paradors – exquisite. Kitchen close to high. From the type of food Full Board, as in the previous Parador on the island of Hierro, we refused. You can’t eat that much! Breakfasts are excellent, with traditional freshly squeezed orange juice. Dinners a la carte. The names of the dishes are already salivating. Every trip to dinner is a holiday, an event! The atmosphere is romantic, mysterious, mysterious. It’s like you are in a palace. Service and attitude to vacationers at the highest level. I am writing a review and I know that we will definitely come back here. My wife also has nostalgia for the Parador Hotel El Hierro. I remind curious tourists once again that a distinctive feature of the hotels of the Spanish Parador chain is the unique location of each of the hotels. Well, lovers of delicious and delicious food – here. Each hotel has its own zest and its own chef, trying to satisfy the needs of gourmets. Each hotel has its own menu. For my family (except for a small one), excellent cuisine is an integral part of any trip. The conclusion, friends, is this: be sure to visit the Parador De La Gomera! You are guaranteed vivid memories for the rest of your life. And completely different Canary Islands will open, which you did not even suspect. More precisely, their other, more refined facet. A bit about life on the island. And, more precisely, about the town of San Sebastian de la Gomera. It takes 5-10 minutes to go down to the town. It’s not tiring. And it’s not hard to get back up the mountain. But, if you are already tired after a walk, then there are a lot of taxis downstairs, which for a few euros will take you upstairs to the hotel. It will take longer to get into the car than to drive later. The city itself, as you know, is small, but walking around it is a pleasure. Mixed with visits to local cafes for coffee, then for some amazing cocktail. Slowly sipping this or that drink towards the end of the day in one of the quiet cozy streets is always fun to watch the tourists rushing back to the ferry, who should be returning to Tenerife. Kind people! Stay at least for a few days on La Gomera and you will feel the special atmosphere of the island and its capital! You won’t have to rush anywhere! The realization that you are on a Canary Island that is not washed down by tourists (excluding day trippers) will add to your stay on the island the romance of travel, the feeling that you have made the right and not banal choice to diversify and decorate your trip to the Canary Islands. There is even some shopping in the city. Souvenir every there and other junk. Well, how could it be without excursions! Here this question is solved in the best way. In addition to the excursion booth located in the center of the town on the waterfront, you can approach any taxi driver who, as in Madeira, will offer you any program to your taste and budget. We chose a six-hour tour of the island, so that we could enjoy the views and have time to go to the beach. Well, what can I say? Beautiful island. The views and landscapes are breathtaking. From the semi-bald Canarian mountains and red volcanic earth, to the lush vegetation in the famous Garahonai park. A bunch of miradores. Taxi driver is convenient. He was always one step ahead of the tour guides who arrived in huge crowds on buses from the island of Tenerife. Therefore, we did not have to rub our butts with anyone during the tour. Of course, La Gomera, like Tenerife, does not have any special tourist features (not counting the whistlers we flew past), but due to a combination of factors, including accommodation in a fantastic hotel located in the capital of San Sebastian De La Gomera, the island left the most positive impressions and the desire to return here someday. It remains to be added that there are also three beaches in San Sebastian. Not crowded, and at all you can swim and sunbathe.

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).

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.
The authorities in Spain set and enforce entry rules. If you’re unsure how Spain’s entry requirements apply to you, contact its UK embassy, high commission or consulate.

Spain will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 vaccination record and proof of COVID-19 vaccination issued in the Crown Dependencies.
Your date(s) of vaccination must be specified and you need to have had a vaccine authorised by the European Medicines Agency or by the World Health Organisation.
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.
Documents can be in either English, Spanish, French or German and in paper or electronic format. They must specify your name and surname. See ‘Entry requirements for entry in Spain from third countries’ section ‘k.’ on the Spanish Ministry of Health Travel and COVID-19 page for further information on proof of vaccination for travelling to Spain from the UK.
If you’re not fully vaccinated
If you’re not fully vaccinated, you can enter Spain presenting one of the following documents:
documentation certifying that you have undertaken a diagnostic test and tested negative within 72 hours of entering Spain if using a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT (PCR or similar), or 24 hours if using an antigen test.
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:

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:
FCDO travel advice for France,
FCDO travel advice for Portugal
FCDO travel advice for Andorra
FCDO travel advice for Gibraltar
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.

Ultimate Guide of Things to do in Tenerife
Tenerife is one of the most unique places to visit during a trip to Europe. Whether you are planning to visit the island as a part of a much larger vacation or as the only destination on your itinerary, this small Spanish island will definitely satisfy the travel itch. The country’s crown jewel, Teiede National Park will satisfy the most adventurous of travelers. History buffs will also have plenty to dive into, especially in San Cristobal de la Laguna, one of the island’s UNESCO world heritage site.
However, no matter how you like to spend your time travelling, you won’t be able to escape the allure of Tenerife’s fantastic beaches. In fact, Santa Cruz is one of the best places to visit in Tenerife due to its colonial architecture set alongside pristine white-sand beaches. There are also plenty of places to go scuba diving, not only in Santa Cruz, but in many different places around the island. The fact that there are so many Tenerife attractions makes this the ideal place to spend your European holiday.
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.
By Air
The easiest way to arrive in Tenerife is by air, and there are two major airports on the island. In the north is Las Rodeos International airport and in the south is Reina Sofia airport. Both airports can be reached from most major European cities, like Amsterdam, Madrid, Dublin, London, and many more. Obviously, you will want to arrive to the airport that is more central to your itinerary. The airports can also be used to access other islands in the Canary Islands.
By Sea
You can also arrive in Tenerife by boat. There is a ferry that leaves once a week from Cádiz and stops at ports in Los Cristianos and Santa Cruz. While the ferry can be a more memorable journey, it does take two whole days to make the trip. The Canary Islands, after all, are located much nearer to the southern tip of Morocco than they are to Spain.
Transportation on the Island
Once you actually arrive at the island, renting a car is the most efficient way to see all of the Tenerife points of interest. The easiest place to do this is at the airport when you arrive. If this is what you plan to do, I recommend booking a rental car ahead of time to save yourself time at the airport. Many people fear that road conditions aren’t the greatest on the island, but it’s actually quite the opposite.
Due to the tourist infrastructure from Tenerife holidays, the roads will be some of the best you see in Europe. If renting a car isn’t in the budget for you, you will still be able to move around the island quite easily. There are public buses and coach buses that go between all major cities. Once you are settled in a city, plan on using taxis to mobilize yourself around the city or coast.
Tenerife holidays are fantastic, which is why tourism is booming on the island. It’s one of the few true islands where Europeans can escape the city and have a truly relaxing beach vacation. It really caters to everyone, whether you are looking for an adventure or a relaxing escape. The Canary Islands are a part of Spain. So you will also be able to have a rich cultural experience during your time in Tenerife.
Food
You guessed it! Seafood is king on the island of Tenerife. The most common dishes are caldereta de pescado and sancocho canario. Both are types of fish stew that are very rich in flavor. They typically contain multiple different types of seafood, and are accompanied with the island’s most popular side dish, papas arrugadas. These are small boiled potatoes smothered in a red chili sauce, mojo rojo. Most traditional restaurants on Tenerife will serve a “menu del dia” for lunch. This dish will normally consist of grilled meat accompanied with vegetables, rice, and beans.
While the Canary Islands have their own unique cuisine, you will also see the strong influence that Spanish culture has. Typical dishes like paella, tortilla española, and gazpacho can be found on the menus of most restaurants. Also, tapas are very common on the island. The two most common drinks are a honey rum that is served after meals and locally grown wine that perfectly accompanies meals. If you’re planning to party hard in Tenerife, be prepared to choose from a large variety of different liquors and beers.
Weather in Tenerife
One reason that Tenerife has remained such a popular tourist destination is its awesome weather. May, June, and July are the hottest months, and the average temperature hovers around 24 degrees Celsius. However, the country
Is much busier during the prime summer months. The weather in September, October, and November is still great and if you visit during this time you won’t have to worry much about crowds. The other months are cooler and wetter, but the Canary Islands still provide an awesome escape from the cold European winters.
Money in Tenerife
Tenerife isn’t the cheapest of destinations, but this makes it more favorable for people who want to avoid traditional backpackers. The island uses the euro as currency, and there are plenty of ATMs located all around the island. If you’re arriving from somewhere other than Europe, I recommend avoiding currency exchange. You will get a much more favorable rate from ATMs. You can anticipate spending about 50 euros/day on lodging, 40 euros/day for food, and 20 euros/day for other expenditures. One way to take away the hassle from budgeting is to stay at one of Tenerife’s many all-inclusive resorts. Obviously, they are much more expensive. However, they will make your stay on the island much more stress-free. Tipping is practiced in Tenerife and is normally around 10% of the total.
Safety in Tenerife
Tenerife is a very safe place, but you will still want to follow the normal safety precautions when travelling to a foreign country. Be aware of pickpockets, stay off the streets if you are alone at night, and never leave your drink with strangers. There is a strong police presence on the island, which eases any concerns travelers have.
Tenerife isn’t unlike any other island in the world. At other places, its common for locals and travellers alike to complain about “island fever”. This is the feeling of claustrophobia or boredom due to being located so near to a shoreline. On this island, there are simply too many attractions or points of interest. If you are travelling on a budget, there are also plenty of free things to do in Tenerife.
Scuba Diving
The southern coast of Tenerife is home to the best scuba diving in Europe. There are schools and dive sites in almost every major city that tourists visit on the coast. The visibilty around the Canary Islands really reveals all types of wildlife that can be found in the water. No matter if you are an expert diver or just starting out, you will be able to find a diving service that can accommodate. Some of the best sites, like La Arona, La Restinga, and La Catedral are located off the coast of other Canary Islands. It’s easy to book and catch a ferry with one of the agencies at Tenerife.
Hike
Even though it’s an island, Tenerife boasts a wide range of topographical elevation. Teide National Park is famous because of the cable car that takes people to the top of Mount Teide. However, the peak can be reached by hiking as well. In fact, there are a bunch of different hikes around the park. Parque Rural de Anage and Pico Viejo are two other places where hikers will have a blast. You can do day hikes, but there are also many places to camp at the parks around Tenerife.
Relax at the Beach
The beaches in Tenerife are what helped this island become the popular tourist destination that it is today. The beaches white sands and crystal clear waters will remind you of places in the Carribean. Los Cristianos is the most popular beach, but el Medano, Playa Jardín, Playa del Camison, and Fañabe are great places to visit.
See some animals
One of the most unique things you can do in Tenerife is kayak with dolphins. This experience is something bound to make your trip memorable. Another place to see some animals is the famous Monkey Park, where you can feed a bunch of different monkeys that are found on the island of Tenerife. If you are hiking in Tenerife, keep your eyes and ears open and you are bound to see something that you’ve never seen before.
Tenerife doesn’t deserve to be written off as a typical tourist destination. There are plenty of unusual and unique things to do on the island that make it very special. For example, Carnival is a huge celebration on the island. There are huge parades and festivals that often last for multiple days. The best place to celebrate in the island’s capital, Santa Cruz. Each town on the island also has an annual Romería. This is a festival unique to the Canary Islands and is great for cultural buffs wanting to sample some of the best traditions and food that the island has to offer.
Tenerife is one of the main places where Europeans go to unwind, and partying hard is often the main objective on their agenda. Santa Cruz is one of the best places for nightclubs, but other major beach towns like Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas, and Costa Adeje are guaranteed to give you a great night out.
Teide National Park
This National Park is what makes Tenerife special. With 2 volcanoes over 3000m in elevation, you will completely forget that you are on a small island in the Atlantic ocean. Riding the cable car to the top of Mount Teide allows for views of the entire Canary Islands. Mount Teide is also a UNESCO World Heritage site! There are also a bunch of different things to do in the park to satisfy more adventurous travelers.
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is the largest city on the island of Tenerife and is home to spectacular historical buildings, great restaurants, and incredible open-air markets. There is also the Museum of Man and Nature, which details the history of the Guanche people who originally inhabited the island. Nearby is San Cristobal de la Laguna, which feels like taking a step back in time. There are also incredible beaches in Santa Cruz, like Playa de las Teresitas, Playa de Antequera, and Playa de la Pinta.
Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos is the most popular destinations for Tenerife holidays. Located on the southwest tip of the island, this place is perfect for those seeking a traditional tourist experience. There are plenty of great bars and restaurants to keep you busy at night, and 2 awesome beaches to spend your days at. Los Cristianos is the epicenter of tourism in Tenerife.
Masca
Masca is often regarded as the most beautiful village on Tenerife. In fact, many people compare its location on a ridge to Macchu Picchu. It is a really small village with a few houses, but the views are spectacular. Hiking around the village is incredible, with waterfalls and caves accenting incredible views of the Canary Islands. Making the trip to Masca is definitely worth the effort.
Los Gigantes Cliffs
Los Gigantes is a town on the west side of Tenerife, but it is most well known for the massive cliffs that border the ocean. The cliffs rise up too 800 meters in places, and there are small beaches sandwiched in between them. Los Gigantes is one of the most impressive Tenerife attractions.
There are so many different places of interest in Tenerife, and fortunately, the island has a variety of accommodation options at each place. If you are travelling on a budget, you will want to stay in hostels around the island. The backpacker and partier paradise is Los Cristianos. So if you want to avoid that scene, I recommend planning to stay somewhere else or shelling out for a more luxurious accommodation.
Airbnb and VRBO are becoming very popular on the island, and are a great way to find a place if you want to spend a longer period of time in Tenerife. There are also a lot of resorts on the island. I recommend these if you want to stay in the same area during your trip. However, I have found that the traditional, family-owned hotels on Tenerife exceed expectations more often than not. Many hotels also serve food!
Tenerife Whale and Dolphin Tour – These tours are best from Los Cristianos! Booking a tour makes it easy to find a boat and have a professional point out the different types of wildlife you can see. You will also be able to see the stunning skyline of the islands as your venture farther out into the sea.
La Gomera Tour – La Gomera is another island in the Canary Islands. It is much more laid back than Tenerife and an excellent place to spend the day for culture buffs. The locals use a sort of whistling language to communicate with one another across deep ravines and gorges on the island. Most tours also include an incredible local lunch. If you want to see another island aside from Tenerife, I recommend La Gomera.
Jeep Tour in Teide National Park – Taking a jeep around Teide National Park is by far the best way to see as much of the park as possible. Going with a tour guide also makes it easy to learn about the ecology of the area. I recommend this tour for nature-lovers because guides will be able to point out all of the different signs of volcanic activity over Tenerife’s history.

Spring: warm weather, pleasant sun and perfect for days on the beach.
Summer: expect hotter weather during summer, tempered by a nice sea breeze. This is a popular time for tourists, with lots of people travelling during August.

Insider Tips & Free Info for Tourists
With over 350 km of diverse coastline, excellent beaches, and wondrous mountains there’s a lot for tourists to see and explore in Tenerife. Visitors tend to flock towards Costa Adeje, Playa de Las Americas, and Los Cristianos in the south, along with Santa Cruz and Puerto de La Cruz in the north.
With Africa to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean surrounding the island, the weather here is wonderful all year round. At 3,715 m, the Teide Volcano on Tenerife also boasts the highest peak in all these Atlantic islands. Needless to say with over 5 million annual visitors, Tenerife is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain, as well as, all of Europe.
Brief History
Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands in Spain, has been populated from around 500 BC, by Guanches, an African tribe who were stunningly blonde with blue eyes. With the Spanish conquest in 1494, European migration began. Tourism in Tenerife, however, only started in 1890.
A couple of decades later in 1909, the Chinyero Volcano erupted, and this novelty actually increased tourism. At present, it’s been over a hundred years since this last volcanic eruption, but tourism has taken over as a mainstay in Tenerife’s economy.
Why Visit
Tenerife is an amazing island of contrasting landscapes and activities. Many tourists coming here think of it as an ideal place to make their permanent residence.
Nightlife
Many come to Tenerife for the parties. The island nightlife never seems to runs dry, no matter the season, either near the beach or in the city centers. There is an amazingly high number of nightclubs, pubs, and themed music, drink specials, and more.
Beaches
You will fall in love with the island’s beaches, as they are considered some of the best in Spain, and in all of Europe too. You’ll get almost all types, with Tenerife’s beaches being busy or very intimate ones, other with lots of restaurants, bars, cafes, or simply wild and remote locations.
There are eight Blue Flag beaches in Tenerife that offer crystal clear and peaceful waters. The best golden-sand coastlines are mostly situated in southern Tenerife in Costa Adeje, Playa de Las Americas, and Los Cristianos.
Some of the most exotic beaches however are in the north, like Playa de Las Teresitas, Playa Benijo, Playa de La Tejita, Playa de El Bollullo, while , Playa del Duque, Playa Fanabe, and Playa Jardin attract many a tourist.
Exploration
What might seem like a small land size at 2,000 sq km, Tenerife boasts landscapes with great diversity. Luxuriant pine forests and snowy heights have merged with volcanic desserts, black and golden beaches. Whether it’s coastal or altitude vistas you prefer, there’s a place in Tenerife that’s suited to you.
Where to Stay
Southern Tenerife is full of beaches and makes for perfect holidays relaxing in the sun. Swimming and water sports, especially windsurfing are quite popular.
In and around Costa Adeje is where resort tourism lives on the island. The nearby beach towns of Playas de Las Americas and Los Cristianos have even been dubbed New Las Vegas.
Northern Tenerife has a wonderful history in San Cristobal de Laguna and excellent beaches near Santa Cruz, the capital city. In Parque Rural de Anaga and northern coast to the north, you’ll see some of the remote and beautiful landscapes you can find on the island. The sunsets over Playa Benijo are almost dreamlike.
Puerto de la Cruz is somewhat in the middle of Tenerife but still north, and has more hotels than resorts. It’s home to Lago Martianez and very close to Loro Park and La Oratava.
When to Visit
With its pleasant and constant temperatures that average 28°Cin summer and 22°Cin winter, Tenerife is called the Island of Eternal Spring. The warmest months are June through October, which attracts the greatest number of tourists. But you can also enjoy great days on the beach and lovely water, even in the winter months.
The prices are reasonable all year long, however, keep in mind that the most crowded times are during the school holidays when numerous families choose Tenerife as their destination. Many Europeans also visit Tenerife in December through February as an escape from the bad weather, snow, and cold in their home countries.
Carnival
Taking place annually in February or March, this famous Tenerife Carnival gathers thousands of tourists from around the world. Every town in Tenerife celebrates day and night during Carnival, whereas the biggest party can be found in Santa Cruz, the island’s capital.
Places to Visit
At 3,715 m, Teide Volcano is both the real and literal top attraction of Tenerife. It’s also the highest peak in Spain and the highest point above sea level in the Islands of the Atlantic. When measuring from the ocean floor, Teide stands a whopping 7,500 m above sea-level and is the fourth-highest volcano in the world.
The volcano is the main draw of Teide National Park, which was named UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. With over three million annual visitors, Teide also holds the titles of The Most Visited Natural Wonder of Spain, The Most Visited National Park in Spain and Europe, as well as, The 8th Most Visited Natural Wonder in the World.
One of the most famous and picturesque locations for trailing and wandering around is Masca Valley. This is a 4.5 km route that provides hikers with amazing views through rocky valleys towards the sea. The Los Gigantes Cliffs are an iconic symbol that dwarfs the coastline above Costa Adeje. The impressive size of the cliffs gives to a legend that they guard the entire island against winds, thus contributing to its amazing mild climate.
What to Do
Rest assured that you will never lack things to do in Tenerife, as the nightlife and shopping are sublime, and there are enough festivals to keep you coming back all year long. The theme park and zoo turnstiles never stop spinning in Tenerife, with the island even having one of the best water parks in the world.
The stargazing in Teide National Park provides some of the clearest night skies in the world, while the wildlife tours of dolphin and whale watching bring tourists out in droves. Diving and snorkeling also popular in Tenerife, as are water sports like surfing and kiteboarding.
Theme Parks
The theme parks in Tenerife as some of the best in the Canary Islands, with Siam Park being voted the #1 Water Park in Europe on TripAdvisor for several years. This Thai-themed water park also boasts the highest wave pool in the world, and they also allow you to surf on it.

What to Buy
Lava souvenirs are very popular with tourists, as locals carve the attractive black lava rocks into all sorts of items, such as plates, ashtrays, fridge magnets, cups, photo frames, necklaces, and earrings.

The local wine is full of tannin, a naturally occurring polyphenol, which adds bitterness and astringency, as well as complexity. Typical glasses are filled with vino tinto, blanco, and rosado, or red, white, and rose wine.
The locally brewed Dorada Beer is a tourist favorite, but there are others like Reina and J&M Cerveza Pilsen are worth a popping a cap. You should consider draining a pint of Tierra de Perros at Cervezas Guaberze, a microbrew in Las Realejos or head to El Sauzal and the Tacoa Cerveceria brewpub.

Popular destination: Tenerife
Tenerife is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Every year, up to five million people are attracted to the largest of the seven Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean 288 kilometres from the coast of Morocco and 1,274 kilometres from the southern coast of Spain. Topographically it belongs to Africa like all Canary Islands, but with about 880,000 inhabitants it is the most populous island in Spain. One of the largest cities on the island is the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife with 225,000 inhabitants. It is also the provincial capital of the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro.
In the language of the indigenous population of Guanche, Tenerife means “snow-covered mountain”, among Spaniards the island is also called “the island born of fire”. This can be traced back to the volcanic origin of the island about twelve million years ago. The island’s impressive geological history can still be admired in the Anaga mountains in the extreme north-east, the Teno mountains in the north-west and in many parts of the extreme south. Here, Tenerife plays with the contrasts of enchanted, misty laurel forests, impressive volcanic mountain ranges and remote headlands and beaches that give the impression of a desert island.

Teneriffa – the island of contrasts
While big city life rages in the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the old town of La Laguna, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, impresses with its still preserved colonial architecture. To the north in the Teno Mountains and further east in the Anaga Mountains, wild green heights give the impression of a deserted island. In contrast, the south at the foot of the Pico del Teide is characterised by barren lunar landscapes and bizarre rock formations. Classically beautiful white sandy beaches can also be found here, while a few kilometres further on there are beaches with a rocky and gorgeous backdrop and pitch black beaches. The unique natural landscape of Tenerife is more varied than any other island – and therefore a unique destination for every type of holiday.

Tenerife highlights at a glance
Tenerife is the island of contrasts, with a breathtaking variety of nature from the coast in the north to the mountainous centre of the island and the southernmost tip. But not only nature lovers get their money’s worth on hiking and cycling tours through the varied natural landscape of Tenerife, along the most beautiful beaches of the island to the most popular destinations on the Canary Island! In the popular holiday resorts on Tenerife you can also immerse yourself in the culture of the Canary Island in the many museums and exhibitions, on walks through the old towns or at traditional festivals. Tenerife has something to offer for every type of holiday – even the odd insider tip!
Why Tenerife is worth a visit
Three factors are among the outstanding arguments in favour of a holiday in Tenerife: the unique, year-round mild climate, the trade winds that bring the island, the extremely varied and contrasting natural landscape and the charming islanders with their Canary Island traditions and customs. Numerous excursions and activities invite you to explore every corner of the island.
Climate
The most important reason for many tourists to spend their holidays in Tenerife is the unique climate of the island. Due to the trade winds, which blow with 20 to 25km/h over the north-east of the island, Tenerife attracts with an average annual temperature of 23°C. In summer the temperature rarely climbs above 30°C, while in winter it is at least 17°C. Consequently, Tenerife is also called the “Island of Eternal Spring” – and is therefore worth a visit all year round.
Flora and Fauna
On the largest and highest island of the Canary Islands, tourists are presented with a special ecological diversity. In a stretch of just a few hundred metres you can admire the vegetation of Tenerife, which is constantly changing in radical ways. The different altitudes, trade winds and microclimates have created six very different ecosystems in Tenerife:
Succulent scrublands: Along the coast up to 700 metres above sea level, succulents grow, adapted to drought, strong winds and the many hours of sunshine per year. Although the Canary Islands account for only 1.5% of Spain’s surface area, they are home to half of all endemic species
Thermophilous forests: Sabinas, dragon trees and palm trees grow in so-called thermophilic forests, which are located 200 to 600 metres above sea level. Moderate rainfall and temperatures favour their growth
Pine forests: A typical mediterranean aspect are pines, which also grow on Tenerife and at 800 to 2000 metres above sea level
Laurel forests: A unique floral feature of Tenerife is the dense laurel forests, where not only laurel trees grow, but also ferns, Canary Island holly and Indian perseas. Legend has it that witches lived in the dense cloud forests.
Bush forests: As the laurel forests were extensively cleared, the tree-heath scrub forests today make up the entire forest area of the island. The Micronesian bagel tree and the tree heath defy the trade wind clouds and grow 10 to 20 metres high
High mountains: Above 2000 metres there are extremely dry, hot temperatures. This is where the Wildprets Natternkopf grows – the purple-red flowering pride of Tenerife, which can reach a height of 2.5 metres
During a walking or cycling tour through Tenerife, you will literally experience an up and down ride through typical Mediterranean areas, exotic deserts as well as dry areas and mountainous regions. You could encounter over 200 species of birds, rare frogs, butterflies and numerous species of reptiles such as geckos and lizards. The southwest coast is also a popular place to watch fin whales, dolphins, orcas and even blue whales during your Tenerife holiday!
Country and people
There is no doubt that Tenerife owes its special charm also to its compatriots, their special, cheerful nature, their Canarian accent and their traditions and customs – all of which are known beyond the borders of the country. It has a surface area of approximately 2,034 square kilometres, with a population of 888,000, spread over the 31 municipalities of Tenerife. San Cristobal de La Laguna and the island capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife are the largest cities in the archipelago. It is here and in the towns of Arona and Adeje, located in the tourist south of the island, that most of the “Tinerfeños”, as the islanders call themselves, live.
Even though tourism has left its mark on the island, the inhabitants of the island have preserved their centuries-old history, so that a holiday in Tenerife makes it possible for tourists to experience Canarian traditions and customs. In particular, the indigenous people of the island, the “Guanches”, were able to regain their very own Canarian culture after the period of oppression under the Spanish dictator Franco. Important cultural events – but also tourist highlights – are the Festival de Música de Canarias and the carnival in Santa Cruz. In Canarian folklore, the colourful and splendid costumes, the timple, a typical Canarian ukulele-like instrument, is played at popular festivals and romerías. It is sung and danced to. Whether you are a nature lover looking for peace and quiet in the countryside, a sun worshipper relaxing on the beach or the exciting nightlife in the capital, Tenerife has the right experience package for every type of holiday!

What we did…
Beach hopping
On the island of eternal spring, the beaches are a must visit. In south Tenerife, Playa La Pinta is a quick win with easy parking and lots of shopping, dining and views of the harbour. Further up the coast, Abama beach is more work to get to but has a big pay off. The beach is nestled into a tree topped cliff and accessible via a long set of steps. There aren’t any restaurants or bars on site but the views will make up for the trek.

El Tiburon
While there is no shortage of delicious seafood restaurants in Tenerife, this was the one we loved so much we went back a second time. It had a range of local favourites, a catch of the day special and a long pasta menu – ace.
The Thirsty Turtle
This restaurant serves up tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner in a cute al fresco spot near Playa De La Pinta. Their breakfasts are far from the usual options like acai bowls, devilled eggs and a breakfast burger.

How we got around…
We booked and rented a car from the airport so we could explore the southern coast at our own pace. Depending on how flexible your plans are, taxis are widely available all over the island and are pretty affordable.
Tenerife Travel Guide and Attractions | CleverTravel
In this article you will learn about the main attractions of Tenerife, which you can see by buying a tour in Tenerife from us.
Teide Volcano
(Teide)
It is generally recognized as the main attraction of the island, and the name, according to the language of the ancient inhabitants, sounds simply menacing – the house of the devil. The third on the planet in terms of lava volume with a height of 3718 m, Teide is open to tourists. For this, the foot of the giant is equipped with spacious observation platforms from which the peak of the crater is clearly visible. Using the services of the funicular – Teleferico, you can climb to a height of 3550m and see beautiful views of the Canary Islands from a bird’s eye view. In ancient times, the volcano was highly revered by the indigenous Guanches, worship to it and its religious significance can only be compared with Olympus in Greece. According to legend, in ancient times, the God of the sun and light was abducted by the Devil and forever buried by him under the crater. The whole land was enveloped in complete darkness. The resourceful Guanches decided to ask for help from the supreme deity Achaman, who heard their prayers and after a long fight destroyed the Devil. Since that time, according to legend, the volcano hides it safely in its depths. Feeling like a pioneer and learning a lot of interesting things about the nature of volcanoes will help you choose the Altavista mountain tourist base, which offers you to spend the night on the very top of Teide. The transcendent height opens up an unusually clear sky with stars, and in the morning and in the evening, unique landscapes will open the sunrise and sunset.
San Cristobal de La Laguna
(San Cristóbal de La Laguna)
In the past, the capital of the island, which ceased to be after the formation in 1723 of Santa Cruz – the current capital. The change in status did not prevent it from remaining the main center of religion, culture and education until now. The ancient city is located a little north of Santa Cruz and the nearby airport in the very depths of the island. From the beginning of its formation, the spiritual and religious life of Tenerife was identified with it. In many surviving temples and monasteries, the special atmosphere of that time still remains. It is in La Laguna that the episcopal residence and entire blocks of centuries-old luxurious aristocratic mansions are located. These include the Cathedral of San Cristobal with the episcopate, and the remains of the founder Alonso Fernandez Lugo located in it. The next most important are the grandiose monasteries of St. Catherine of Siena and de Santa Clara de Asis, as well as the ecclesiastical cloister of Iglesia de la Concepción. You can not ignore the Royal Temple of Cristo de la Laguna and the legendary Piazza Adelantado, the university named after the city, as well as entertaining museums of history, science and space.
Dragon tree ( Drago)
One of the most ancient sights of the island is considered to be the dragon tree of Tenerife, which is several thousand years old. The unique representative of the flora belongs to the municipality of the district of Icod de los Vinos, and impresses with its gigantic dimensions – a height of 25 m, a girth of 10 m and a weight of about 80 tons. The absence of growth rings nullifies the traditional determination of the final age of the giant old-timer, while the researchers deduced an approximate age of about 3000 years. Among the local population there is a legend associated with the origin of an unusual tree. According to which, in ancient times, in the Arabian Sea, there was the island of Sokorta, which became the haven of a bloodthirsty dragon drinking the blood of the elephants he killed. And once the oldest elephant could not stand the chase and suddenly fell on the dragon. In an unequal battle, both lost their lives, and in the place of spilled blood, unusual trees grew on the ground – dracaena. They were named so quite reasonably, because this word is translated as “the female dragon.” The amazing tree belongs to the territory of a closed park with an entrance fee of 5 euros. Moreover, from a nearby city square, it is quite possible to admire the giant from afar for free.
Anaga Park
(Parque Rural de Anaga)
It is an amazing 1000 m high mountain range in the northeastern part of the island, which plays the role of a powerful shield against cold trade winds. The entire northern part of the park is covered with exotic tropical forests with prehistoric plant species, among which you can see the unique blue Paleolithic laurel forests and giant ferns. Relic plantings are represented by 20 endemic species. You can get to Anaga Park by choosing a road along the mountain range, from which numerous descents lead to nearby villages. In the park area there are various hiking and trekking routes passing by laurel forests, gorges, abysses, small villages and numerous hidden beaches. The mountain plateau offers an inimitable panorama of the entire northern coast of the island. The most popular among vacationers is the trekking route starting from El Balladero, then following to the village of Chamorgue, from which you can see all the superiority and beauty of the nearby gorges and coast.
Loro Parque
(Loro Parque)
It has the status of the most important Canarian zoo, which borders the city of Puerto de la Cruz. He owes his birth to Wolfgang Kiesling, who in early childhood came to his father for advice on choosing a pet. As a suitable option, dad identified a parrot, which in the future instilled the boy’s unbridled love for these birds. Many years later, an already established promising businessman Kisling comes to the island for a successful family investment in one worthwhile business. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea that he was preventing a rich man from creating a park on such an island suitable for parrots. Since its foundation, the territory of Loro Park has a huge collection of these exotic birds, which is represented by more than 4,000 species and is considered the largest in terms of the number of individuals on the entire planet. In addition, one of the largest water parks in Europe is located in the park, where exciting programs are regularly held with performances of killer whales and sea lions. The collection is complemented by a variety of fish species, primates and reptiles. The doors of the park are open on any day of the week from 8:30 to 18:45. The price of an adult ticket is 34, a child ticket is 23 euros. Optionally, you can choose a “twin picket”, which gives you the opportunity to view two parks at once – Loro and Siam at a price of 58 euros for an adult ticket and 39.50 for a child.
Masca Gorge
( Masca )
Adjacent to the territory of the village with the same name and is considered the deepest in Tenerife, the maximum depth of which reaches 1300 m. Even the average hiker will need approximately 3 hours to descend and 1 hour longer to ascend. Among the local population, you can hear an interesting legend that gives an idea of the origin of the name itself. In ancient times, the leader of the Guanches had a daughter, Mask, whom they wanted to marry a Spaniard against her will. The girl could not accept her fate and decided to jump off the cliff. Since then, the gorge, which took over the body of the young Mask, began to bear her name. And since time immemorial, both pirates and smugglers have been hiding in the gorge, from where they then unexpectedly attacked ships and robbed them. According to many legends, the nearby grottoes and caves are fraught with untold riches, once hidden there by pirates. There is a convenient transfer ferry service to the gorge from the pier in the middle of the lagoon. Minutes of waiting can be brightened up by swimming. The ferry runs every 30 minutes until 17.00. Vacationers are offered a fascinating journey to the village of Masca, which, despite the rapid growth of technological progress, has still remained the same authentic. The modern world is reminiscent of a souvenir shop and a cozy restaurant with a terrace from where you can admire the bewitching landscape of the surroundings.
La Orotava
(La Orotava)
City on the north coast of Tenerife on the slope of the Teide volcano in the Orotava valley. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is located 33 km to the north, and Puerto de la Cruz 5 km. La Orotava is famous for its historic center, which has a pristine appearance and many unique places of interest. A walk through the city center will give you the opportunity to personally admire the houses of the 17th-18th centuries, made according to the ancient Canarian architecture. All of them are decorated with luxurious high quality pine balconies. The Casa de los Balcones is a typical example of this, complete with a colonial museum and an artisan workshop. Each tourist can get a treasured souvenir – a ceramic product or an item of hand embroidery. Opposite its facade is the oldest house in this city, Casa del Turista, whose doors are open to everyone. A visit to the house will reveal the secrets of the technology for the production of multi-colored sand carpets. June marks the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi, which is accompanied by a solemn procession. On the eve of the holiday, cobblestone pavements turn into colorful carpet paths covered with fresh flowers and colored sand. On the so-called “Carpet Day”, entire family contracts come out into the streets, designed for the procession, early in the morning and carefully lay out bizarre paintings on the pavement with flower petals. The best way to get to the city is on the TF5 highway, and as an alternative, you can use the highway between Icod de Los Vinos and the island’s capital.
Hell’s Gorge Natural Park
(Barranco del Infierno)
Belongs to the municipality of Adeje near the resort of Las Americas. Contrary to the ominous name of the park, it is considered one of the most picturesque places, which includes mountain ranges immersed in tropical greenery, bizarre rocks and the only 560m high waterfall on the island. As an acquaintance with the territory of the reserve, a walking route of 6.5 kilometers is proposed, which will take 3.5 hours. When choosing it, you should get comfortable shoes, panama and stock up on drinking water. During a short journey along the road, you will meet aqueducts and numerous caves, which, according to legend, in ancient times served as pyramids for the burial of the mummified remains of the Guanches. Toward the end of the route, you will have the opportunity to stop at a cozy restaurant where you will be offered a delicious lunch. Entrance to the territory of the reserve is only 3 euros on any day until 12.00. The rest of the time and in case of bad weather, the gorge is closed to visitors. Booking a place in advance will allow you to freely visit the protected area, which provides for a daily limit of the number of tourists to 200 visitors.
Siam Park
(Siam Park)
Rightfully recognized as the largest water park in Europe, located close to the resorts of Las Americas and Los Cristianos. The territory of the park is equipped with 25 slides of varying difficulty, a slow-flowing river and a unique wave palace. The proposed entertainment will appeal to all age groups – from young to old. Exciting turns of steep high slides have long been loved by fans of extreme sports. While the Lazy River invites you to truly relax and enjoy a carefree holiday. Children’s pools with slides are always ready to meet even the smallest visitors who will not be able to resist the delight and get a lot of positive emotions. All pools are filled with water at a comfortable temperature of 25 °C. The doors of the park are open 7 days a week from 10.00 to 17.00, in summer 1 hour longer. The cost of an adult ticket is 34 euros, a child ticket is 23 euros. Tourists will be pleasantly surprised by the one-time payment system, which provides for free access to all attractions until the park closes. There is an additional charge for bathing accessories and places in the locker room. The sale of a “twin ticket” is provided.
Punta del Hidalgo
(Punta del Hidalgo)
City in the northern part of the island with beautiful coastal scenery. The mystery and magnificence of natural landscapes are successfully added by an unusual lighthouse, built in 1992, which proudly rises and invigorates the rocky silence of the coastline. Among the rocky terrain of the coast there are several natural bays with cozy pebble beaches, perfect for swimming. Since its foundation, Punta del Hidalgo has been a miniature village of local fishermen and farmers, and since the 60s it began to develop as a resort area. The meager infrastructure, consisting of a pedestrian promenade, rocky and pebble beaches, several shops and excellent fish restaurants, is perfectly complemented by the special energy of a virgin civilization. Here, peace and bliss can be seen in everything, which is especially valuable for residents of huge metropolitan areas.
Bajamar
An isolated small town, from which Punta del Hidalgo is within easy reach, one of the first to become famous as a resort in the northern part of the island. Despite its tourist predisposition and world fame, Bahamar is somewhat removed from other resort destinations in Tenerife. The uniqueness and popularity of the city was due to the special comfort and harmony with nature, which is felt in every centimeter of this promised land. The coastline of the city is represented by steep cliffs, with the exception of one beach, the fine black volcanic sand of which has miraculous powers. Near the embankment you can observe natural bays with sea water. Vacationers can easily try their hand at surfing, huge waves and a spacious lagoon are quite conducive to this. Rest in natural pools is complemented by numerous cafes and restaurants that offer an unforgettable view of the mighty ocean.
Pyramids of Gumiar (
Pirámides de Güímar )
The southeast coast of the town of Gumiara is crowned by a string of six stepped pyramids, which are considered an integral part of the ethnological park created there. Vacationers are offered a fascinating tour with a tour of the pyramids, a museum and a photo exhibition with numerous expositions. At the base of each pyramid lies a regular rectangle with different faces of 15-80 and a height of up to 12 m. The real origin of the unusual structures has not yet been identified. According to one assumption, the pyramids were the creation of the hands of the peasants who once lived on the territory, who, when cultivating the fields, piled stones that fell under the arm. This conclusion was completely refuted by the famous traveler Thor Heyerdahl, who, by comparing the location and characteristics of the pyramids, was able to prove their sacred appearance. The astrologers who arrived at his invitation through research established a special regularity in the location of their faces, which accurately pointed to the sun and are directly related to the summer and winter solstices. Moreover, at the top of the largest pyramid there is a double sunset and this happens only on the day of the summer solstice. Scientists’ minds are still lost in conjectures about the purpose of the mysterious structures. The park is open 7 days a week from 10.00 to 18.00. The cost of an adult ticket is 18, children 5.50 and student (under 25) 12.15 euros.
Las Teresitas beach
(Playa de Las Teresitas)
Tenerife’s one of a kind white sandy beach near the outskirts of Santa Cruz is located a short drive from the capital. It has the status of the most beautiful beach on the island, with views of majestic mountains and cliffs. Las Teristas is of artificial origin, for the creation of which sand was specially brought from the African continent – the Sahara desert. As a reliable shield against being washed away by waves, it was decided to protect the coastline with a special breakwater, which in turn served as another advantage of the beach – the complete absence of waves. This is an important fact for couples with small children, providing a high level of security. Guests are offered comfortable sunbeds for rent for only 2 euros apiece. A comfortable open-type shower and a toilet cubicle adjoin the beach. In the cafes and kiosks located on the territory of Las Teresitas, you can drink lemonade and have a delicious meal. Free parking space is provided for car owners. You can get to the place by shuttle bus 910, running every 20 min. A favorable microclimate and reliable protection from high waves have secured the beach as the best resort in Tenerife for families with children.
Orlov Park
(Park Las Aquilas Jungle Park)

The area adjoins the resort of Los Cristianos and is only 3 km away from it. There is a free bus service to Jungle Park. The “Pearl” of Tenerife contains the world’s largest collection of birds of prey, with the participation of which fascinating performances are arranged. Vacationers have a unique opportunity to feed rare raptors from their hands, as well as enjoy swimming in the company of fur seals. Of particular delight is the taking of hanging obstacles and riding a bobsleigh.
Monkey Park
(Monkey Park)
No one can resist a visit to this direct contact monkey paradise located in the south of Tenerife and within easy reach of Los Cristianos. In the small area of Monkey Park, in addition to funny monkeys, you can meet iguanas, turtles, guinea pigs, handsome loud-mouthed toucans, an extraordinary diversity of parrots, crocodiles and graceful monitor lizards. A delicious treat, stored up for the future for the inhabitants of the zoo, will significantly increase the chances of live communication. Guests should remember that visitors without treats do not arouse interest in animals. Genuine delight is caused by communication with cute animals that willingly jump into the hands of visitors and choose the most delicious pieces of food from the packages with their paws. Giant macaws with cheerful cockatoos and budgerigars do not lag behind them, flying up to the hands of guests, they carefully take away nuts and fruits. Lemurs and other animals are offered special food at the entrance, which can be bought at an affordable price.

After identifying harmful food, it is withdrawn and left at the cash desk, and when returning from a walk, it is returned unchanged to the owners. The doors of the park are open 7 days a week from 9. 30 to 17.00, with the cost of an adult ticket of 10 and a child ticket of 5 euros.
Lunar landscape
(Paisaje Lunar)
The volcanic rocks of the Teide have been formed for many centuries by fascinating rocks of an unusual cone shape, strongly reminiscent of the landscape structure of the Moon and Mars. In this regard, the area received its original name – Lunar landscape, which goes around the southern slope of the volcano’s caldera. Many vacationers noted the extraordinary beauty and quirkiness of stone waves with polished cones, which form an unusual glow that illuminates black volcanic slopes, picturesque wastelands and clear blue skies. An exotic creation of Mother Nature herself, she carved it from rocks of porous light tuff that were once thrown out by a volcano. The road to the unearthly terrain passes on foot according to white signposts with marks of three colors, wooden posts with meter marks serve as a guideline for the distance traveled. The best time to visit the Lunar landscape is a fine sunny day, when the play of colors of iridescent volcanic rocks is especially sharply felt. You should go out fully armed, providing comfortable shoes, warm clothes, as well as sunscreen. It will not be superfluous to grab drinking water and a modest afternoon snack.
Village of Vilaflor
(Vilaflor)
Considered the highest village in Tenerife, located 1400 m above sea level through which the road leads from the southern coast of the island straight to the Teide National Park. An interesting name is associated with one folk legend, according to which, from time immemorial, a small village of Guanches, Chasna, stood on this place. Once, during the attack of the invaders, one of them was so fascinated by the beauty of the local aborigine that, in a fit of thoughts, he uttered a catch phrase: “I saw the Chasna flower.” A few years later, Vilaflor Jasny lost its ending and remained unchanged until our times. The village is characterized by a measured and calm lifestyle, and the special healing air of the Canarian pine has a beneficial effect on the entire body. In numerous restaurants, you can always try fresh wine drinks and get the most valuable handicraft souvenir of local craftswomen – the finest lace. A convenient observation deck adjoins the village, which offers a unique view of the nearby landscapes. A trip to the ethnic village can be planned throughout the year, and knowledgeable tourists tend to visit there from February to March, at the time of friendly almond blossom. The “lunar landscape” from the village is within easy reach and you can get there by your own car by choosing the TF-21 highway.
Tenerife Carnival
(Carnaval de Santa Cruz)
Carnival procession is considered the most significant event in Tenerife, which is eagerly awaited not only by the population of the island, but of the entire Canary archipelago. An exciting spectacle stretches for almost 30 days and is held in the heart of the Canaries – Santa Cruz. The scale and fame of the carnival is amazing and is second only to Rio de Janeiro. The most impressive events take place for the first time for 7 days, which are represented by numerous dance competitions with a street procession, orchestra performances, concerts and entertainment shows throughout the streets of the city. A fascinating children’s procession with costumed characters, a demonstration of rare cars, as well as original rides on the embankment, specially selected for this occasion, are of particular delight to tourists. The program of the carnival provides for entertaining murgas competitions – the performance of satirical couplets, ridiculing the most acute problems of everyday life. Carnival is held every year at the same time. Everyone can admire the unusual procession for free. The only exception is the Carnival Queen contest, the cost of participation in which varies from 10 to 15 euros.
El Medano
(El Medano)
It is a small resort town. He became famous for the largest natural sandy beach in the area, Playa de la Tejita, and the ubiquitous winds that prevail here 300 days a year. In addition, on the coast of El Medano there are numerous cozy beaches with gray sand and mirror-clear water. This is a favorite place for hardcore boarding enthusiasts, which is available here both in winter and in summer due to the warm microclimate, constant winds and the coast completely open from waves. Holidays in this part of Tenerife will suit tourists who love the havens of the winds, who will appreciate all the superiority of the natural elements. No wonder the coast is recognized as the best on the island for wind and kite surfing. On the Medano beach, 1300 meters long and 40 meters wide, unlike the others, predominantly light sand prevails. Most of it stretches along the coastline of the town, and closer to the west, it ends at the very foot of the volcano. Vacationers are offered to rent all the necessary beach accessories – sun loungers, umbrellas and various ammunition for water sports. In the vicinity of the beach, there are numerous restaurants and cafes where you can always try exotic soft drinks and skillfully prepared dishes of national cuisine.
Natural pools
(Piscinas Naturales De Garachico El Caletón)
The world-famous natural pools of the Canary archipelago, whose clear waters provide an unforgettable experience, enhanced by the enchanting scenery of the local untouched nature. Each of the pools is a small natural backwater filled with sea water, successfully complemented by pleasant amenities for a comfortable stay – stairs, ramps and springboards. It is here that you can feel the fullness of a refreshing bath in complete harmony with nature. Especially popular among tourists are the lava pools in Garachico, which miraculously appeared after a volcanic eruption near Trevajo in 1706. About 300 years ago, a tragic event occurred that caused a raging natural disaster that completely swallowed the prosperous city in layers of volcanic ash. However, despite the magnitude of the eruption, not a single one of the residents living in the city was injured, and numerous pools became one of the reminders of the horrific tragedy. As a result of the eruption, hot lava flows spread over the surface and in places of contact with ocean water at the entire foot of the volcano, bizarre natural containers of various shapes and sizes appeared. Interestingly, the water in the pools is constantly updated due to the porous rock that allows moisture to pass through. The unique creation of nature gained worldwide fame in the 60s and has since been called El Caleton, in honor of an enterprising Englishman who noticed unusual containers of natural origin. Vacationers while swimming should keep in mind that the waves in that area can reach several meters, and therefore it is worth taking precautions. Near the pools by the ocean is Maritima Street, and the best transport direction to the place is ideally the TF-82 highway.
Benijo Beach
(Playa de Benijo)
Known as a beach of natural origin, with a characteristic scenic area and exceptionally clear water. Its main difference is considered to be big waves, bewitching landscapes of the coast and the famous Crocodile teeth – rocks piercing through the water surface behind Benijo beach. Tourists from all over the world are attracted here by fantastic landscapes, the purest water, which boils with white foam near the shore, and majestic pillars of dark graceful rocks. This is an ideal place for photo shoots, but staying on the beach is only possible at certain times. This is due to the flat coastline and beach, which are completely absorbed by the ocean waters at high tide. Guests of this part of the island should beware of swimming due to constant harsh winds, strong currents and high powerful waves. But, despite the violence of the elements, this is a favorite place for relaxation, where you can retire and calmly soak up the warm dark sand, enjoying the beauty of nature and listening to the gentle whisper of the waves. Closer to noon there is almost no shade, but there is always something for amateur windsurfers. A picturesque serpentine motorway leads to the beach, crossing the Anaga mountain range and heather and laurel forests growing on the sides. If desired, you can use the bus service to Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Botanical Garden
(Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava)
The central part of the northern coastline of Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz, is famous for its botanical garden, which is considered the most picturesque place in the Spanish resort. Back in the 18th century, by decree of the famous monarch of Spain, Charles III, it was decided to build an unusual garden that would become the center of acclimatization of exotic plants from all over the world before planting. Despite its small size, rare species can be found among the plantings of the garden. What is the great rubber tree Jardin Botanico – a gigantic giant of two centuries of age, whose branches are decorated with peculiar vegetative shoots. The tree still has a special name, thanks to its unique ability to collect moisture – the “traveler’s tree” more than once rescued wandering travelers, delighting them with its supplies of clean water. A visit to the botanical garden is possible on any day of the week from 9.00 to 18.00, and in summer until 19.00.
Whale and Dolphin Watching
Visitors to the island have long been fond of the southwest coast, which is appreciated due to the numerous colonies of whales and dolphins located in coastal waters. Vacationers have a unique opportunity to watch animals in their natural habitat 365 days a year. Particularly impressive are pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, permanently residing in the surrounding waters of the island, the observation of which is available 292 days a year. These species of marine mammals are protected by international law and are carefully protected from the negative impact of the human factor. Moreover, over 21 species of representatives of the cetacean family are found here, among which blue whales and killer whales can be observed. In order to develop the horizons and diversify the recreation of the island’s guests, they are offered exciting excursion programs of different price categories. At the peak of popularity are water walks for 2-3 hours in the company of whales and dolphins, with a passage through the gorge.
Surfing in Tenerife
Since the founding of Tenerife as a tourist destination, surfing has established itself as one of the most important entertainments, regardless of the zonality of the cardinal points. Beginner beginners and amateur athletes of calm waves can try their hand at the beaches of the city of Las Americas, which has more stable weather conditions in the surrounding area. The northern town of Bahamar will appeal to experienced surfers who prefer big frequent waves and extreme water sports. Tenerife is literally created for surfers, for the convenience of which many spots and specialized shops are equipped here throughout the island. For beginners, there are numerous schools that offer water sports courses in different languages for 2 hours a day. Among the most famous is the SUP Academy, which provides group lessons for 35 euros per student per day. At the request of tourists, individual training is possible, the cost of which varies around 70 euros. At the same time, the cost of the course provides for the inclusion in the amount of the entrance to the spot and the necessary equipment, which includes a board, wetsuit, slippers for the reef.

The magical day starts from 8.45 am to 9.15 am, when we pick you up by bus at or near the hotel.
At 09.30 we are already at the gates of Monkey Park, where lemurs are eagerly waiting for us. They are avid for grapes and figs, and you have the opportunity to take dozens of photos of how these cute little animals sit on your arms or shoulder. In Monkey Park we will see other monkeys and creatures, we will wake up there for one hour in total.
Leaving the Monkey Park, we move along the freeway to La Orotava (approximately 1 hour), or rather to the next park, which is Pueblo Chico or the so-called. miniature park. Having seen enough of how lemurs feast, most likely we are hungry, so lunch is waiting for us: Tapas

Vanilla ice cream
Water, red wine, rolls

After Pueblo Chico, delicate butterflies await us in the Butterfly Park or in Mariposario del Drago. The ride between the two parks takes only 20 minutes.
The day ends with a visit to a park unique in the world, not to mention Tenerife. Namely, in the spring of 2012, the museum of soft toys and art dolls ArtLandia opened its doors. This is an incredibly exciting world, built in a historic wine estate and hidden in a beautiful park, the existence of which the uninitiated usually do not know or suspect anything. We will see dolls, many of which cost more than the average class of a new car, and get acquainted with such a wonderful world where the birth of dolls takes no less time than the birth of a human child. Experience shows that once in the wonderful world of ArtLandia, it is adults who fall into more admiration than children.
There is also a café in ArtLandia.
After looking at the dolls and toys, we are on our way back, and after seven in the evening you will all be in your hotels.

Tenerife island. Canary Islands. Spain. Guide – Around the world without a travel agency
The island of Tenerife is located, as we already wrote , in the Atlantic Ocean not far from Africa. Tourists love the largest island of the Canary archipelago for its black beaches and the beautiful Teide volcano. The island is home to one of the capitals of the Canary Islands, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The area of Tenerife is about 2000 square kilometers.

In Tenerife, the pleasant travel season is all year round. The sea temperature is 20-23 °С. The air temperature in the summer months is 23-29 °С, in winter – 20-26 °С.

Due to the milder climate in the south, its resorts of Costa Adeje, Las Americas and Los Gigantes are the most popular among tourists, and tour operators offer a lot of hotel options here. But we prefer villas – if you go with friends or family, then the cost of living per person will not be high.

This is an interesting underground museum, the roof of which is a large pool of water that can be seen in the center of the Plaza de España where it is located.

It stands out for its black sand of volcanic origin , hence its color, to access it you need to follow a path 20 minutes from the area suitable for leaving cars.
This is a virgin beach, little known to most tourists, but one of the favorites of the inhabitants of the island.
This is a virgin beach where you will not find a lifeguard, bars or any services, but innumerable natural beauty where you can breathe a little peace.
Los Patos Beach
Another black, wild sandy beach, virgin and with a natural charm that makes it special.
This beach is located close to the beach of El Ancon, separated by a small ledge of Punta del Ancon.

It is important that you know a few useful tips before starting your trip.
The island is characterized by nature, in order to reach many of the most touristic places, it is necessary to follow some paths.

7 DIY Hacks to Greatly Improve Your Spanish Accent
By hannahgreenwald
Last updated:
A few months ago, I was in Cáceres, talking to a Spanish friend in a bar, and she asked me what an American southern accent sounds like.
As I described it, a friend of my friend came over and said, “Hah—what do two Spaniards know about American accents?”
“Actually, she’s American,” my friend clarified.
“Really? You don’t have an accent!”
I tried to keep my cool, but internally, I was doing a happy little jig. After months of living abroad and over a decade learning Spanish, I couldn’t believe that I had finally started sound more like a native!
A few moments later, the friend said, “ah, yes, now I hear that you are American.” But for a few sentences, in a noisy bar, I sounded Spanish!
Hey, progress is progress.
Here are six tricks that have helped me gradually get rid of that pesky foreign accent and sound more like a native Spanish speaker.
Contents
1. Learn the Correct Vowel Sounds
2. Pay Attention to Accent Marks
3. Soften Your T’s and D’s
4. Perfect Your R Fuerte
5. Mind Your Z’s
6. Learn to Link Your Words
7. Learn from the Natives

1. Learn the Correct Vowel Sounds
Luckily for you and me, Spanish pronunciation is quite regular. Unlike English vowels, each Spanish vowel has exactly one sound:
A is pronounced like the “a” in ‘”father”
E is pronounced like the “e” in “bed”
I is pronounced like the “ee” in “see”
O is pronounced like the “o” in “go”
U is pronounced like the “oo” in “too”
Of course, there are rules for Spanish dipthongs and the dieresis. But those are your five basic vowel sounds.
There are a ton of free resources on YouTube to help you learn and reinforce the Spanish vowel sounds. Personally, I recommend starting with this hilariously outdated video.
Yes, the video is silly. But it’s also quite helpful. Do you notice how, when pronouncing a word, the student says every vowel with the same crisp, clear sound? Every “e” in excelente sounds exactly the same as the one before it.
One big problem that English speakers tend to have with Spanish is inserting dipthongs where they don’t belong, so that a word like excelente comes out sounding more like “excelentay.” Another common problem is pronouncing Spanish words with English vowels, so that a word like cerveza (beer) incorrectly becomes “sir-VAY-zuh.”
The trick is to practice making clear, consistent vowel sounds that don’t change: ah, eh, ee, oh, ooh. Try to hold each sound for several seconds without changing the shape of your mouth. Then, practice inserting the sounds into words.
2. Pay Attention to Accent Marks
As mentioned previously, Spanish pronunciation follows regular rules. So it shouldn’t surprise you that there is a very simple rule for knowing which syllable gets the stress in a Spanish word. It breaks down like this:
By default, put the stress on the second-to-last syllable of a word.Casa (house), manzana (apple), domingo (Sunday), and amarillo (yellow) are all words that follow this example.
The only exceptions are words that end in consonants other than “n” and “s.” In these cases, stress the last syllable of the word. Think of words like hablar (talk), ordenador(computer), pincel(paintbrush), cicatriz(scar), etc.
Any words that stray from this pattern will be conveniently marked with an accent—a little line above a vowel that lets you know to stress that syllable. See, for example, words like miércoles (Wednesday), dímelo (tell me), escocés(Scottish), habrá (there will be), etc.
In spoken Spanish, accent marks can be of crucial importance. Take, for example, the totally innocuous sentence “Como papas” (I eat potatoes.) Following the simple rules laid out above, we know that this sentence is pronounced, “Como papas.”
Stress the wrong syllables and you’ll end up with the sentence, “Comopapás,” or “I eat fathers.” Yikes!
Mind your accent marks and learn which syllable to stress—it can make the difference between comprehension and utter confusion.
Over time, knowing which syllable to accent will become intuitive. Until then, here’s an exercise to help you practice: Find a passage of Spanish text that you also have a recording of. (For example: lyrics to a song, an audiobook that you also have a hard copy of, a listening exercise from a textbook, etc.) Without listening to the recording, underline the syllable in each word that gets the stress. Then, listen to the recording and check your answers.
3. Soften Your T’s and D’s
Let’s do an experiment. Try saying the following phrase out loud: “Two fantastic tigers.”
Pay attention: Where does your tongue go when you make the “t” sound? If you are like most English speakers, it probably hits the roof of your mouth.
In Spanish, t’s are not pronounced the same way. When making a “t” sound in Spanish, press the tip of your tongue against the top of your front teeth. This produces a softer, gentler “t” sound.
Try it out on the very useful phrase, “Tú tomaste tequila hasta las tres de la mañana. ” (You drank tequila until three in the morning.)
“D” sounds also undergo a slight change. For example, try saying “Diana’s adorable dogs.” Where does your tongue end up? Probably the roof of your mouth again.
In Spanish, you must make the “d” sound with your tongue barely touching the back of your top teeth. In this case, the result is a much softer sound, almost like the English “th” in the word “this.”
Go ahead and practice with the following phrase: “Soy de los Estados Unidos. ¿De dónde es usted?” (I am from the United States. Where are you from?)
This video by Learn Spanish Right offers a great comparison of the English and Spanish “d” sounds.
The differences between these sounds may seem trivial. It’s true, a Spanish speaker will probably understand you just fine if you use the English “t” and “d” sounds in your Spanish. But focusing on details like these will help you lose your foreign accent and speak Spanish like a nativo.
If you’re having trouble perfecting the finer points of the Spanish accent, consider making a recording of yourself reading a passage of Spanish aloud. Remember that text/audio resource from the previous point? Now would be a great time to use that again! Record yourself reading the passage aloud in your best Spanish accent, and then listen back.
You’ll be able to pick out the areas that need improvement much more clearly than you would while speaking. Now, compare your recording with the native speaker’s. Do your t’s and d’s sound like theirs? If not, try reading aloud again.
4. Perfect Your
R Fuerte
The letter “r” in Spanish makes two different sounds: the r suave, or soft r, and the r fuerte, or strong r.
I’ll focus on the r fuerte, commonly referred to as a rolled “r,” because it is one of the most difficult sounds for English speakers to master. Some people seem to pick it up intuitively, while others need to put forth a concerted effort to learn to roll their r’s. If you’re struggling, don’t worry—you’re definitely not alone!
Here are some tips if you just can’t seem to roll your r’s:
Pretend you are purring like a cat.
To learn the proper tongue placement, try saying the word “butter” over and over again very quickly. The spot that your tongue hits on the “tt” in “butter” is the spot where it should be when you roll your r’s.
To strengthen the tongue muscles required to make this sound, say “tee-dee-va” quickly over and over whenever you can—while you’re driving, washing the dishes, during commercials, etc.
Put the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Exhale, and pretend your tongue is a flag flapping in the wind. The movement of your tongue quickly hitting against the roof of your mouth will produce the sound of a rolled “r.”
Bonus tip: A friend of mine who spent years learning to roll her r’s insists that it’s far easier to achieve after a beer or two. She says that beer helped loosen her tongue muscles. That advice may or may not work for you, but it worked for her, and either way, you get to enjoy a few drinks and practice your Spanish.
Now that you’re well on your way to making a perfect r fuerte sound, here is a run-down of when to use it:
Words with two r’s in a row (carrera, arriba)
A single “r” at the beginning of a word (rincón, rata)
A single “r” after the letters “l,” “n,” or “s” (alrededor, enriquecer)
A single “r” after the prefix sub- (subrayar, subrayado)
Feeling brave? Practice your “r” fuerte with this tongue twister:
Rosa Rizo reza en ruso, en ruso reza Rosa Rizo. (Rosa Rizo prays in Russian, in Russian prays Rosa Rizo.)
5. Mind Your Z’s
There are actually two correct ways to pronounce the Spanish “z,” depending on where you are in the world.
In all of Latin America, parts of southern Spain, and the Canary Islands, a “z” is pronounced like an English “s.” This is called seseo.
In the rest of Spain and in Equatorial Guinea, a “z” makes a sound like the “th” in the English word “tooth.” This is called ceceo.
Both ways are correct, but what you’ll never hear in Spanish is a “z” that sounds like it does in the English word “buzz.”
I could link you to a number of instructional YouTube videos. But my personal favorite listening resource for hearing the two different Spanish “z” sounds is the song “Bailando,” sung by Spanish-born Enrique Iglesias and Cuban-born Descemer Bueno. In the first verse of the song, you can clearly hear both “z” sounds in the word corazón (heart):
Enrique Iglesias: Cuando tú me miras se me sube el corazón
Descemer Bueno: Me palpita lento el corazón
The first time around, you’ll hear the ceceo (the “th” sound), and the second time, the seseo (the “s” sound).
“Bailando” is peppered with examples of both “s” sounds, in words like cerveza (beer), cabeza (head) and abrazarte (hug you).
A song like “Bailando,” with its mix of accents and its many repeated lines, makes for a perfect speaking practice exercise! Read through the lyrics out loud phrase-by-phrase until you feel confident in your pronunciation.
Then, try to sing along with the recording to practice fluidity. Singing in Spanish is a super fun exercise that works your pronunciation while also providing a lesson in grammar, vocabulary and culture. Best of all, you can do it in the car, in your bedroom, or basically anywhere you want.
Not into Enrique Iglesias? There are tons of other z-heavy Spanish songs to practice this particular skill. Try Celia Cruz’s “Azúcar negra” or Kudai’s “Tal vez.”
6. Learn to Link Your Words
If you listen closely to native Spanish speakers talking, you’ll notice that they link or blend certain words together.
When will Spanish speakers link words?
When the last letter of one word is the same as the first letter of the next word. For example, the phrase “dos senderos” (two trails) would sound more like “dosenderos.”
When the last letter of one word is a consonant and the first letter of the next word is a vowel. The question “¿Estás enfadado?” (Are you angry?) would sound more like “¿Estásenfadado?”
When the last letter of one word and the first letter of the next word are both vowels, like in the sentence “Ella está enamorada.” (She is in love.) To the untrained ear, this phrase would sound like one long word: ellaestáenamorada.
Learning this technique will not only improve your Spanish accent. At the same time, it’ll train your listening skills. As you practice blending and linking your own words, you’ll find yourself better equipped to understand what other speakers are saying when they do the same.
For a great listening resource, check out this website, which provides clear examples of each of the three types of linking. The website’s audio examples compare how the words sound un-linked and then linked. To practice, simply repeat after the recordings provided on the website.
7. Learn from the Natives
The best way to reinforce all of the above is, of course, to actively listen to native speakers and copy what they do.
If you are lucky enough to be able to learn Spanish by immersion easily in your hometown or abroad, this won’t be a problem.
Otherwise, checkout Meetup.com to see if there are any conversation exchanges in your area, or Conversation Exchange, which facilitates casual one-on-one language practice sessions in person or over Skype.
If you can’t find a native speaker to converse with via exchange—or if you don’t feel that your Spanish is quite up to the task—hire yourself a Spanish tutor. Believe me, it’s a lot less expensive than it used to be. The internet has brought us all closer together, and at the same time, closer to capable language tutors from all around the globe. Since there are so many Spanish tutors online, their services are more than affordable.
Start seeking out your own Spanish tutor on Verbling, the main online hub for tutors and students. You’ll be able to sort through hundreds of Spanish tutors and choose one based on student reviews, experience, price range, region, other languages spoken and availability.
You can also try listening to a Spanish-language news program, TV show or podcast. Listen to a few sentences at a time, then pause and try to repeat back what you’ve heard. Or could try FluentU, a language learning website and app that takes videos from real Spanish media (so you can hear native speakers in action, and follow along with the subtitles) and turns them into full lessons. There’s even a speaking feature so you can practice your accent.
Start implementing these fixes today, and soon you’ll be the one mistaken for a native Spanish speaker!

How to have a Spanish accent
When learning Spanish, developing a Spanish accent is critical. If your ultimate goal is to have conversations with native Spanish speakers, then they need to understand enough to respond back-and-forth at a natural speed. You can spend years learning Spanish vocabulary, conjugations, and tenses. If your accent isn’t correct, your conversations will be slow and unsatisfying. If you’ve ever had somebody switch to English on you, you know exactly what I mean. Here are some basics for perfecting your Spanish accent.

The perfect Spanish accent
First, let’s state the obvious. When learning Spanish, there is no single Spanish accent. Think about how native English speakers from the US, England, Singapore, and the Philippines all sound different. In the short 57 kilometers it takes to get from Manchester to Leeds, we hear different tones, inflections, and pronunciations of English.
Spanish accents vary between regions too. Over 21 different countries speak Spanish. Each one has its own unique pronunciation. Vocabulary words even change from country to country. In the classroom or online Spanish lessons, you should learn a neutral or “TV-friendly” accent. With neutral pronunciation at the start, you can adjust later.
Spanish vowel sounds
Unlike in English, where pronunciation can vary, Spanish vowels have only one sound each. A, E, I, O, U, are always pronounced ah, eh, ee, oh, oo as in the following words: father, shed, see, orange, and too. There are no long vowels. These five basic short vowel sounds never change.
Growing up, my Chilean mother used the book Silabario published in 1945 to drill me on vowel sounds in Spanish. It was all about repeating vowels using each letter of the alphabet: a, e, i, o, u, ba, be, bi, bo, bu, and so on until za, ze, zi, zo, zu. An excellent practice method for beginners.
Look at the name Bárbara. In English, we say Bar-ber-uh with three distinct A sounds. In Spanish, the three As are always pronounced the same: Bar-bar-a. Since some words are similar in English to Spanish, it can be tempting to pronounce them lazily with an English accent. Remember to use the proper vowels. Smile wide and show your teeth. Say excelente: ex-cel-en-te not ex-uh-len-tay.
When two vowels are next to each other, they make a diphthong or merge into one single vowel sound. For the word bien say byen not bee-en.
Stress the proper syllable
In Spanish, there are strict rules about how to vocally stress the proper syllable. For all words ending in a vowel, the stress falls on the next-to-last syllable. Manzana (apple) is pronounced man-ZA-na. Cerveza (beer) is cer-VE-za.
Words ending in a consonant stress the final syllable of the word. Papel is pronounced pa-PEL. Doctor is doc-TOR. N and S endings are exceptions that we will deal with another day.
Words that don’t follow these rules have a convenient accent mark above the stressed vowel to show you how to pronounce them. Fútbol (football) is FUT-bol. Miércoles (Wednesday) is MIER-co-les.
Get your Spanish consonants right
Plenty of Spanish language learners begin studying in secondary school by reading out of a textbook. This develops a bad habit. The reading voice inside your head starts you off with an English accent. Here is a quick rundown of Spanish pronunciations that are unlike English.
The Spanish T is a non-aspirated, soft sound. Press your tongue to the inner surface of your top front teeth. It’s /dt/ like at the end of the American pronunciation of wet or dart.
The Spanish D is also non-aspirated and soft. Place the tongue between the teeth and voice /th/from this or that.
The Spanish R makes two noises. The rolled R occurs with two Rs in a row (arriba) or one R at the beginning of a word (rincón). The single R in the middle or end of a word sounds like the English /d/ noise. Sabor (flavor) is pronounced sa-BOD.
The Spanish J is a raspy noise like an /h/ hissing like a cat. The Spanish Ñ makes the noise of /ny/. Thus, jalapeño is ha-la-PE-nyo.
The LL sounds like a /y/. Caballo (horse) is ca-BA-yo. The Spanish H is always silent. Ignore it entirely. Hielo (ice) is YE-lo like the color but shorter vowels.
The Spanish C and Z
In Spain only, the C and Z are a breathy /th/ noise called ceceo. When I studied abroad in Madrid, my host mother joked that Spain is the only place you can hear the difference between:
¿Quieres casarte (ca-SAR-te)conmigo? Do you want to marry me?
¿Quieres cazarte (ca-THAR-te) conmigo? Do you want to go hunting with me?
She was right. In Latin America the C, Z, and S noises are all pronounced as /s/.
Practice to improve your Spanish accent
The pronunciation of vowels and consonants in Spanish is strictly uniform. Hypothetically, anyone can read perfect Spanish. Even if you aren’t sure what you are saying, it should come out in a 100% neutral accent.
To perfect your pronunciation, listen to Spanish-language programs and copy how they speak. Try Spanish language music and sing along. It’s instinctive to mimic accents when we sing. This is a natural way to “pick up” a better Spanish accent. You can also watch Spanish-language telenovelas soap operas. My favorite show with a Chilean accent is ¿Dónde está Elisa? It’s a drama series from 2010 about the missing daughter of a media tycoon.
Take live Spanish lessons
What’s even better? Get online Spanish lessons and speak with a native speaker in real-time. You can ask them to slow down their pronunciation and give you tips when a word sounds awkward. Listening to real people speak back-and-forth with you is the key to perfecting your Spanish accent.

How to Improve Your Accent in Spanish (and Stop Sounding Like a Gringo)
When Spanish words are pronounced by a native speaker – be they from Argentina, Colombia, Spain, or elsewhere – the language has a certain musicality that gives it a real charm.
But, as foreigners, our efforts to replicate these sounds are often nothing short of a complete disaster. We butcher the accent and destroy what was once a quite beautiful tongue.
Sometimes we mess up the pronunciation so badly that native speakers can’t even understand what we’re saying; on other occasions we just sound a little odd.
I distinctly remember, for instance, mispronouncing the word “jaqueca” (“headache/migraine”) so spectacularly that my, usually very serious, Spanish teacher had to interrupt our group class for a good three minutes while she ended herself laughing. Less than ideal.
We’re not condemned to forever destroy the accent, mind. There are a whole bunch of techniques we can use to improve the sound of our Spanish, and to begin to imitate that pleasant sing-songy tone of the real thing.
The benefits of a good accent
Avoiding misunderstandings and humiliations is not the only reason it’s important to develop a reasonable accent when speaking Spanish.
Idahosa Ness, who coaches people on how to improve their Spanish pronunciation, believes that accent is one of the most important things to master if you want to connect with others when speaking Spanish.
People naturally gravitate towards others that sound like them, he says, meaning a native speaker will be much more likely to talk to you, get on with you and form a friendship with you, if your way of speaking resembles their own.
This has largely been my experience too. After many years living in Spanish-speaking countries, I’ve gradually been able to eradicate the rougher edges of my own British accent and speak the language which isn’t immediately identifiable as non-native.
Native speakers are more impressed by a reasonable accent than by flawless grammar.
Throughout the years, and as I’ve gradually improved, I’ve noticed that new people I meet are now far more willing to give me the time of day and spend at least a few minutes chatting, than they were when I first started out. This isn’t solely down to improvements in my accent, but I’ve no doubt that this has played a very real part in helping me develop rapport with Spanish speakers more easily.
And in these situations I’ve found that native speakers are much more easily impressed by a foreigner with a reasonable accent, than by one with absolutely flawless Spanish grammar. While you may be rightly proud to pull off a perfectly executed phrase in the pluscuamperfecto del subjuntivo, the chances are that your local friend won’t even realise the complicated grammatical gymnastics involved in such a feat.
Your accent, on the other hand, is immediately noticeable to everyone.
Choosing your adopted accent in Spanish
Where then to start on your journey to improving your accent in Spanish? If you’re really committed to this goal, my personal view is that you should start by choosing one sort of Spanish, from a given region or country, as the version that you will largely focus on imitating – at least in the first instance.
With Spanish spoken in so many different countries, there are a whole range of different accents, sounds and local variations between them. This all makes it highly complicated, if not impossible, to choose an entirely ‘neutral’ sort of Spanish to learn.
While Colombians, for instance, often say that the Bogota accent is the closest to this ideal, Spaniards would likely dismiss this way of talking as ‘Latino’ and say that Valladolid, outside Madrid, has the purest version of the language (see the comments at the end of this other article for a brief insight into this perfectly fruitless debate).
Copy Spanish from just anywhere and you’ll end up with weirdly inconsistent speaking habits.
If you seek to copy the Spanish spoken from just anywhere, you could end up with up some weirdly inconsistent speaking habits – like combining the lisping ‘z’, that is exclusive to Spain, with the shushy ‘ll’ sound that is used only in Argentina and Uruguay.
Zeroing in one variant of Spanish, on the other hand, will ease the task of as it’ll mean you consistently hear words and sounds pronounced in roughly the same way. This makes a big difference when it comes to tuning your ear to how things should sound, before going on to imitate and replicate this specific way of talking.
Producing a 100% untraceable version of Spanish is nigh-on impossible, so you might as well make things easier on yourself and go full on with one accent from the outset.
Immersion works
The easiest way to train yourself in one accent is by going to spend a while studying or living in a Spanish-speaking country. Your accent will naturally start to improve, as Bogotá-based Spanish teacher Naty Cruz, notes, if you: “interact with native speakers, get out into the street and listen to how people talk, create a chat group or find a group of local friends so you can listen to them all the time, and familiarise yourself with the sound of the language”.
This is, moreover, a great way to form a connection with the local culture and society – an often-underestimated factor in accent improvement. As another teacher, Diana from the Nueva Lengua Spanish school reports, “in our school we’ve had students who are in love with Colombian culture – and especially that of the capital, Bogotá – who have a deep desire to speak like bogotanos, to imitate their accent and use their colloquial expressions”. It is these students, those who most want to integrate and fit into a given Spanish-speaking environment, that will eventually be best able to mimic the local sounds.
Not everyone will pick up the accent merely from holding everyday conversations.
If you’re the kind of person who’s normally good at doing impressions of distinctive accents in your own language then, via full immersion, Spanish accent acquisition should come relatively easily for you. Or, more precisely, of all the difficulties you will face during the Spanish learning process, picking up the accent will probably be one of the least painful.
But the process is not so straightforward for everyone who immerses themselves in the language. And, of course, most people do not have the luxury, as I once did, to be able to drop out of their normal life and jet off to a Spanish-speaking country for several months. (Although you can partially replicate an immersion experience even from afar by surrounding yourself in the radio, music, videos and movies from a given country, by finding language exchange partners via sites like Italki etc).
Breaking down words; imitating sounds
For those of you who have already practicing speaking plenty, but still can’t seem to shake off your native accent, you’ll need to dedicate some extra energy to the task.
Aiming to pronounce whole words perfectly from the beginning is maybe a little ambitious. Diana, from Language Routes, instead recommends splitting each term out into its constituent syllables and practicing pronouncing each of these individually.
Record yourself, and listen to these back, to try and hone the pronunciation of each part first. Then combine all the syllables to reproduce the sounds in the whole word together. In this process, you’ll very likely identify some troublesome individual sounds, which you’ll need to work on further.
Mastering vowels
Training yourself on the correct pronunciation of Spanish vowel sounds is, says John from Toucan Spanish, a vital first step towards a better accent, given that these usually represent more than 50% of the word you’re trying to pronounce.
“The vowel sounds in Spanish are open, meaning that you need to open your mouth wide to pronounce them. I recommend practicing pronouncing these sounds while holding a pen across your back teeth, as far back in your mouth as possible. First off, start by pronouncing each of the vowel sounds on their own, repeating them several times over.
“Then, you can try with groups of two (au, eo, ia, et, etc.) or three vowels (iai, oau, euo), remembering always that vowel sounds are never combined in Spanish. Later, you can also practice combinations of consonants in different positions (e.g. be, age, tro, bleu) and then full words. While this exercise might seem a little strange, it will bring significant improvements in the way you enunciate your words.”
Tackling the ‘RR’…
Even if you’re not otherwise too bothered about perfecting your accent, I’d highly recommend working on your pronunciation of Spanish’s tricky double ‘r’. (Nothing prompts as much ridicule from a native speaker as hearing us gringos mess up the trilled ‘r’ sound in Spanish.)
Nothing prompts as much ridicule from a native speaker as hearing us gringos mess up the trilled ‘r’ sound in Spanish.
For Violet, of the Social Spanish school in Medellin, this is the number one tip she recommends for foreigners who want to speak more naturally. “Search on the internet for videos called ‘praxias erre‘ and you’ll find videos containing exercises used by speech therapists to help train Spanish-speakers who also have problems pronouncing the double ‘r’. [You can find one such example here.]
“The exercises are a bit funny to do, but they’re really great. I guarantee if you practice them for five minutes every day — before going to work or going to bed, for example — you’ll rapidly notice a big difference.”
There are different versions of these sorts of exercises you can do to find one that works for you. This teacher, from Spain, for instance, focuses much more on tongue positioning as the key to reaching a decent sounding ‘rr’. Mimic Method’s Idahosa, provides his alternative take in this interview, starting off with doing drills on the pronunciation of ‘d’ as a means to improve your accent on the ‘r’ and ‘rr’ sounds.
…and some other troublesome consonants
Plenty of other sounds are problematic in Spanish too, beyond those tricky ‘r’s. Improving pronunciation and accent is, again, a matter of repeatedly doing drills for each sound, and comparing these to those of a native speaker, in order to gradually build up your proficiency.
On this page, you’ll find a whole bunch of written practice sentences for all the sounds in Spanish. A few of these are replicated below, along with an audio file of a native speaker from the Elefun school in Medellin, so you can practice:
Ll / y – audio file En mayo yo quiero comer paella en tu yate La lluvia llena la calle Ella llama a la ballena en la playa
B/v – audio file En primavera los árboles se cubren de verde El barco velero navegó nueve veces a Barcelona
S/k – audio file En el centro de Cáceres y Cuenca hay casas con colores preciosos
S – audio file La piscina municipal está en pésimas condiciones Cecilia toma jugo de ciruela mientras cocina las zanahorias
J/g – audio file Gané la guerra con mi guitarra Mi gato es muy goloso
No more ‘em-PHA-sis’ on the wrong ‘syl-LA-bles’
Getting a handle on the individual sounds of Spanish is only one part of the puzzle. To reach a high standard of accent and intelligibility, you’ll also need to pay careful attention to other aspects of speech, especially the pace, tone, intonation and the emphasis that native speakers put onto sounds.
“Different languages have different ways of separating out their syllables”, notes Toucan Spanish‘s John. “For example, if you try to pronounce the Spanish word ‘atletismo’, using the following hyphenation [way of splitting out syllables] ‘at –let- ismo’ you’re very likely to have problems in pronouncing it. However, if you hyphenate it ‘a-tle-tis-mo’, you’ll find it much easier to identify the correct areas in which you should be putting the stress” when pronouncing the word.
A misplaced accent in Spanish is all it takes to change a conversation about your dad into one about a potato.
It’s worth recalling here that those pesky accent marks in written Spanish are actually an invaluable guide for us here. It’s easy enough to dismiss these as kind of irrelevant when reading Spanish, simply because we don’t have them in English. But we shouldn’t, as these little guys tell us exactly where to put your emphasis when you speak.
This is vital not only for improving your accent, but also to avoid communicating completely something incorrect when you’re talking. A misplaced accent is, for example, all it takes to change a conversation about your dad (“papá”) into one about a potato (“papa”).
Far from all Spanish words contain accent marks, of course, but there are some resources available to help you figure out exactly where you should be putting the stress on words that don’t. This site, for example, allows you to enter any Spanish word and will break it down into its component syllables. It also shows which of these you should be emphasising when you talk.
If you still have doubts over how the word should be pronounced, you can also search for it in the database of audio files compiled by Forvo. The site has a massive repository of user-uploaded audio files with recordings of pronunciations from across different countries (Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico etc). These are great accent guides for you to copy.
A few fun activities…
Should all the above drills and exercises get too serious for you, some of the Spanish teachers I spoke to this for this article also recommended some more enjoyable activities for improving your accent. These complement some of the above stuff nicely as it means you can practice bringing together all you’ve learnt in a more interesting way. Try imitating a particular artist, presenter or actor, who is a native speaker and who you listen to frequently. One way to start better mimicking the accent, according to Nueva Lengua, is to concentrate on the speech patterns of celebrities that you like. “We recommend to our students that they imitate a particular artist, presenter or actor, who is a native speaker and who they listen to frequently.”
Not only will this help familiarise you with the change in voice that you’d like to achieve, but it also means that the studying process is relatively painless as you presumably already enjoy listening to whatever sounds that your chosen celebrity produces.
You needn’t limit yourselves to just mimicking spoken Spanish either. One helpful exercise, even for the completely tone deaf, is to do some private karaoke and start singing along with your favourite local tunes. As well as improving your vocabulary (especially in those vital matters like love and heartbreak), keeping up with the native singers as they bellow out their songs will get your tongue used to moving in the way it needs to produce Spanish sounds.
A final exercise in this category is to try practicing tongue twisters, and reading out short and long phrases, whilst varying the speed and tone. As Naty Cruz says, this is a good way to “take your mouth muscles to the gym” and train them up further for Spanish pronounciation. Here’s a few written tongue twisters to get you started, together with a video for you to practice repeating them along with a narrator.
Assessing your progress
Accent is actually a difficult thing to judge for yourself whether you’re improving. While it’ll be very clear to you when, for example, you can speak Spanish faster and with less of a monumental mental effort, the gradual improvements in your accent are trickier to detect. One way to keep track of them is to save your accent practice recordings over time, and refer back to them every few weeks or so to see how you’ve advanced.
If you have regular contact with native speakers, you’ll also get frequent (and unsolicited) feedback on how you’re progressing. Chances are that we’ll never be able to completely remove all traces of our native accent in Spanish, but it seems to me that a good indicator of success is when you reach a stage that, upon meeting someone new, they can’t immediately place where you’re from. When this happens, it is a victory worth celebrating.
For those that continue to struggle in the meantime, try not to get too down. As Diana, from Nueva Lengua, reminds us: “The way you speak is a reflection of who you are, and of the image you want to project. A foreigner can maintain their accent and still speak Spanish perfectly”. Keeping a little of your accent doesn’t mean that your Spanish is inadequate – it merely means that you’re adding a little of your own flavour to the language.

How to Speak with a Spanish Accent
As an actor, learning how to master an accent adds skill to your growing resume. Accents show off your capabilities and versatility as a performer. Actors and actresses that learn how to pull-off accents can see a greater range of opportunity for roles and increase the chances of landing a part.
Spanish accents are not only common and popular, but they are one of the most common accents used in all types of film and theatre. If you want to learn how to speak with a Spanish accent, we’re here to help. Below you will find a list of tips and tricks to help you learn how to speak with a Spanish accent, to help you master the alluring and beautiful appeal of the Spanish cadence.
1. Proper Vowel Pronunciations Are Essential
Spanish grammar is actually quite simple in comparison to the English language, and once you learn that, learning how to speak with a Spanish accent becomes much easier. Unlike in English where vowel sounds can be irregular, Spanish vowels have 1 sound each. Understanding how natural Spanish-speakers use these vowel sounds in their accent will help you master pronunciation.
An “a” is pronounced like the “a” in the word “father,” an “e” is pronounced like in the word “led,” an “i” is pronounced as an “ee” sound like in the word “me,” an “o” is pronounced like in the words “low” and “no,” and an “u” is pronounced as an “oo” sound like in the word “tool. ”
2. Learn Where to Accent Your Spanish Accent
Accenting particular parts of words and sentences is essential to the Spanish language. These typically carry over to a person’s natural accent, even when spoken in English. Learning where to place these accents will help you learn how to speak with a Spanish accent more naturally.
You should always try to put the stress of your pronunciation on the second-to-last syllable of a word. Where you may naturally accent the “sat” in “Saturday,” a native Spanish speaker may accent the “ur,” for example. Where you would accent the “straw” in “strawberry,” those with a Spanish accent may emphasize the “ber.” For Spanish-speakers, learning where to place an accent can mean the difference between understanding a sentence and complete confusion.
3. Know When to Soften Your Letters
There are a few letters in the Spanish accent which naturally sound softer than in the English language, and it can take some practice to change your instincts. “T’s” are a hard sound in the English language and when you make the sound it probably comes from hitting the roof of your mouth. With a Spanish accent, you’ll want to make your “t’s” softer by pressing the tip of your tongue against the top of your front teeth instead.
“D’s” are also made by using the roof of your mouth in the English language. When working on how to speak with a Spanish accent, try forming a “d” by barely touching the back of your top teeth with your tongue. This will result in more of a gentler, “th” sound.
4. Spend Time Perfecting Your R’s and Z’s
As we all know, native Spanish-speakers are known for their amazing “r’s.” The “r” in a Spanish accent seems to roll off the tongue much differently than in the English language, and it’s essential to spend significant time learning how to do this. The rolled “r” helps you sound more natural in your accent, and it doesn’t hurt that the sound is one of the most appealing parts of the accent.
“Z’s” are a little tricky in the Spanish language, since they can be made with both “s” and “th” sounds. If you cannot differentiate these little inconsistencies, it’s best to try to gently roll a “z” so that it flows with the sentence. The more you practice basic pronunciation, “z” sounds will become a natural part of your rhythm.
5. Learn the Natural Flow of Linking Your Words
If you want to know how to speak with a Spanish accent, you’ll need to learn how blend together words and phrases like a Spanish-speaker does. There is a way that phrases or sentences seem to be blurred together and it can be hard to learn how to do this on your own. The best way to do this is to simply listen to those with natural accents and practice.
One basic rule to try to follow involves combining adjectives and nouns. When we say something like “black dog,” we say these two words completely separate from each other. Natural Spanish-speakers tend to blur together nouns with whatever word you use to describe it. It may sound more like “blackdog.”
6. Break It Down Bit-by-Bit
Once you start to understand the basics of pronunciation and changes in sound, you can start breaking it all down. To learn how to speak with a Spanish accent, you’ll need to take it slow and practice each word one-by-one. Start with simple sentences and phrases and repeat each word out-loud until you feel you’ve mastered it.
It could be easiest to begin with short phrases or words you use every day. Do research on common slang words, practice basic greetings and farewells, and practice conversational phrases like “how are you” and “my name is…” Do not give yourself too much to handle at one time and remember to walk before you run.
7. Use All Your Resources
You have near-unlimited resources at your disposal, especially with the wide world of the internet. Make use of these resources to help you learn how to speak with a Spanish accent. Watch videos, read educational material, and listen to podcasts/recordings. Find inspiration from native Spanish-speakers you know and love, like Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz.
Do not limit yourself when it comes to resources. Using multiple methods to help you learn increases your changes of learning an accent quicker, since each method provides you with specific advantages. For example, listening to recordings can help you learn slang and proper pronunciation, while watching videos can help you learn how a natural Spaniard moves their jaw, tongue, lips, and mouth when they speak.
8. Get Back to Your Childhood with a Kid’s Book
This tip goes along with the “breaking it down” tip you read above. Many actors make the mistake of giving themselves too much to handle at-once. When you’re starting off, get an English-language children’s book. Kid’s books tend to be easy-to-read and contain simple words/phrases. Not only does this give you great practice for your accent, but it provides you with a simplified “script” to use.
Focus on mastering each page until you’ve mastered the entire book. You could even try recording yourself as you read, to help you pinpoint errors or areas to work on. After reading a children’s book with the perfect accent, move on to small scripts or readings.
9. Find Your Character
Many actors find that “getting into character” helps understand and learn a part better. Think of learning how to speak with a Spanish accent as a “role.” Give yourself a persona or character, and feel free to add in costumes, props, and personality quirks. You may find that giving yourself a “Spanish character” with a simple story provides you with material to work from.
Give yourself a name, background, or whatever else you would like. When you practice your accent or show off your skills on-stage, it helps you get into character and stay disciplined while you speak with your Spanish accent. There are many basic types of characters you can choose from, since Spanish accents are widely varied by region.
10. Keep Practicing and Then Practice Some More
If you’re an actor, you know that practicing is the only you’ll get better. You read and re-read scripts, practice facial expressions in the mirror, and work on stage presence. Just like everything else in your career, you won’t learn how to speak with a Spanish accent with a ton of practice. In fact, many actors report that it took them years to learn how to perfect their accents.
As cumbersome as it may appear, you’ll need to practice the same words and phrases over- and over-again. Watch videos, listen to recordings, and if you’re lucky enough to know a native Spanish-speaker, enlist their help. Record yourself to critique yourself or even enlist the help of dialect coaches, who can provide you with constructive criticism and education.
Final Thoughts
Learning an accent and adding it to your acting resume is a great way to put your skills on display. Mastering how to speak with a Spanish accent is sure to land you more roles and showcase your amazing versatility. The tips and tricks you found above will help you become a Spanish-accent pro in no-time, so you can own the stage in your best Spanish character. With the right time and effort, you too can be one of many performers who can hone the difficult skill of accents.
Native Spanish accent | Spanish pronunciation
What does it take to get a perfect, native accent? Which of the myriad accents of Spanish would you choose, and why? Our accent when we talk any language makes a big difference in how we we are perceived by others, as well as how we perceive ourselves. Accents are tied in deeply with questions and assumptions of identity and background. Speaking Spanish with a perfect native accent is what many people aspire to, but why? And is it really necessary?
What does it take to get a perfect accent?
Most people assume it as a self evident truth that if you live in a country where they speak the language you’re learning and you surround yourself with it constantly, you’ll pick up the accent. But will you ever eradicate your foreign accent completely?
In a session on Reddit, ex “Governator” of California Arnie Schwarzenegger said that he was more comfortable speaking English than German. He’s lived in California for a long time, been surrounded by English speakers and has lived a large proportion of his life in English. It’s fair to say he’s fluent – he’s got the vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. But he still sounds like, well, like Arnie:
I was interested enough in this question to put it out to people over at Quora, and found through various anecdotes that yes, it is possible, but it requires years of immersion, dedication, and even then it still might not happen. One commenter raised a very interesting point though: Everyone has an accent of some sort. If you wanted a native accent, you would have to choose one. Would you prefer to sound Colombian or Argentinian? Northern Spain or Southern Spain?
Being totally fluent does not mean having a native accent
As we saw with Arnie’s speech, you do not need to sound like a native speaker in order to be totally fluent. Few English speakers would struggle to understand what he’s talking about, and his accent is part of what makes him Arnie. Imagine how weird it would be if he had a perfect Californian accent – he’d lose his “Arnie” identity. His accent is very connected to his identity, and a change in accent would mean a change in identity. How attached are you to your identity? Do you think that if you sounded completely native you would feel a change in your identity? Whether you have the perfect native accent or not, you can still be completely fluent and easily understandable.
Pronunciation Aims and the Intelligibility Principle
In Applied Linguistics there has been some discussion recently about what language learners should really aim for in their pronunciation training. The “intelligibility principle” argues that even heavily accented language can be highly comprehensible (you know how some people just never lose their foreign accent, but you can still understand them perfectly?), so learners should aim to be clearly understood rather than native sounding. Time wrote an interesting article about this approach. In another study looking at different ways of improving pronunciation, students that improved their pronunciation the most (i.e., sounded clearer to native speakers) were the ones who didn’t study any particular part of the accent in depth, but looked at (or listened to) the “global” way the language should sound, with rhythm, intonation, and general speaking habits being the key points. Again – the aim of students here was to sound more clear, rather than more native. The takeout from that study was that it’s often more beneficial to listen to the sound and “music” of the language, rather than obsessing about every vowel and consonant sound. That way, you can sound more natural. And it makes sense too – a large part of our perception of people’s accents is down to the rhythm and intonation of their speech, as well as the individual sounds.
Speaking Spanish clearly and speaking Spanish like a native
So what’s the difference? Are we supposed to choose between either sounding clear and comprehensible, or pursuing a supposedly unattainable native accent? Think about it, however, and there’s not really any difference. What it comes down to is what native speakers find comprehensible, which tends to be an accent which sounds like their own. Spanish speakers from Spain will find a Castilian Spanish accent easier to understand, while a Chilean will find a Chilean Spanish accent easier to understand. If you’re English, you’ll understand an English accent easily, but may even struggle with other types of native accent (really strong Scottish accents can be very difficult for many native English speakers, for example). So the aim is the same – improve the clarity of your accent by trying to imitate native speakers more closely, who in turn will find it easier to understand you.
Which Spanish Accent to choose?
As a learner, you have an advantage over native speakers in that you can choose your accent. Native speakers already have their accents and all of the cultural assumptions and stereotypes that go along with them. However, you’re starting from a clean slate, and can be whoever you want and speak with whatever accent you want! According to the intelligibility principle then, it’s highly important to be clearly understood by whoever you’re talking to – but that person will tend to understand people who have the same accent as themselves. So what’s the clearest, most intelligible accent? Surely that’s the one to aim for!
In English, we have accents called the “standard American”, and “standard English” accents. These are accents which sound English and American, but give no further indicator of your origin. I could speak (with my standard English accent) to people around UK and America, and people wouldn’t be able to say exactly where I’m from. It’s fully comprehensible to everyone, unlike particularly strong local accents which some may struggle to understand. In Spanish, I think the accent that sounds clearest to all native speakers is either a) standard Castilian Spanish, or b) Colombian Spanish. A lot of people have said that Colombian Spanish is the easiest to understand, as they don’t talk too fast (generally), enunciate syllables clearly and without swallowing word endings, and have a generally clear and crisp pronunciation. Central Colombian Spanish is a good example of that – have a listen to Liz when she speaks, and I’m sure you’ll agree!
Aim high and speak clearly
As you learn Spanish, aim for a native accent of some description. We need to model our accents somewhere, so the most intelligible accent is the one that is clearest to native speakers. However, make sure you enunciate clearly! Remember that sounding native is just as important as speaking clearly, and hopefully one day you’ll be able to do both.
A Spanish Pronunciation Guide for Native English Speakers

Would you like to lose your Spanish accent and be mistaken for a native Spanish speaker?
That’s the “holy grail” of language learning, after all.
Yet people can spend decades living in a foreign country and speaking the local language without ever completely losing the twang of their native tongue.
Clearly, a convincing accent isn’t something that just comes automatically once you’ve spent enough time speaking – it has to be worked on deliberately.
Some people think that it’s impossible to speak a language like a native if you start too late in life. This clearly isn’t true, and if you don’t believe me, look at Netflix. Many actors manage to learn a second language (or at least recite foreign lines from a script) with an impeccable accent because their jobs require them to. And I’ve met many people who fooled me with an excellent English accent despite not being a native speaker. It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible.
I don’t claim to speak Spanish perfectly, but in this article I’m going to explore some of the most common mistakes we English speakers make. The full intricacies of a native-like Spanish accent are beyond the scope of one article (and of course they depend on exactly which dialect of Spanish you want to learn), but there are a few key points which English speakers typically get wrong and which cause 90% of our pronunciation errors. Focus on these tips if you want to sound less like a gringo or guiri.
(And by the way, if you’re a Spanish speaker who wants to speak English more convincingly, the points below should help you too. Just think of this as a list of what not to do instead of what to do. The mistakes that gringos make in Spanish are the same non-mistakes you should be making in English.)
Spanish Pronunciation Tip 1: Roll (or Tap) Your R’s
Everyone knows about the ‘rolled R’ sound, but not everyone knows how to create it. It can be tricky, and it takes practice, but if you want to sound even remotely convincing as a Spanish speaker, you absolutely MUST learn how to pronounce this letter. There’s no way around it.
If you don’t understand how to roll your R and worry you might never be able, I feel your pain. When I had Spanish lessons as a teenager, I had no idea how to produce this sound. My teacher’s explanations were useless, and eventually I gave up trying. When I started learning Spanish again, years later, I had to practice every day for weeks before I finally managed to wrap my mouth around the rolled R sounds. Believe me when I say that it’s possible to learn!
Benny has written about the rolled R before, and I won’t repeat him too much here, except to note a few key points:
First, there are actually two different but similar ‘R’ sounds in Spanish.
The first, and easiest, is the ‘tapped’ sound that’s written with a single ‘r’, and is pronounced somewhat similarly to how an American would pronounce the ‘tt’ in ‘butter’.
The second, written with a double ‘rr’ (or a single ‘r’ if it’s at the beginning of a word, like rojo), is the trilled sound that typically comes to mind when we thinking of ‘rolling’ an ‘R’ sound. The difference between these two sounds is the difference between the words pero (but) and perro (dog).
The good news is that the tapped R, which most people find easier to pronounce, is much more common than the trilled version.
Second, and more importantly, you have to understand that the Spanish R, whether trilled or tapped, is absolutely nothing like the English R sound. It may be written with the same symbol, but that’s where the similarity ends. When learning to tap or trill your R’s, forget everything you know about the sound in English that uses the same letter. There’s basically no relation between them.
The English ‘R’ sound (technically the ‘postalveolar approximant’) doesn’t exist at all in Spanish, so you need to make sure you never make it. In fact this sound is not just foreign to Spanish, but very distinctively English, and a dead giveaway that you’re from an English-speaking country.
In fact, as your accent improves you might find that people can tell that you’re not a native, but can’t tell where you’re from. This will NEVER happen if you pronounce your R’s the English way!
Spanish Pronunciation Tip 2: Don’t Diphthongise your O and E
Many Spanish pronunciation guides make this mistake: they tell you that the Spanish ‘o’ is pronounced like the vowel in the English words ‘go’ or ‘toe’, and the Spanish ‘e’ is pronounced like the vowel in the English ‘way’ or ‘say’.
Yuck! This is terrible advice. O and E aren’t pronounced like this! It’s just that these are the closest English sounds to the correct Spanish ones – but you’d better not pronounce them in the English way, or you might as well be walking around with a giant sign that says hablante de inglés stapled to your chest.
To illustrate the difference, say the English ‘o’ and ‘ay’ sounds (as in in ‘go’ and ‘way’) out loud, slowly. You’ll notice that your tongue and lips actually move throughout the course of each vowel. That’s because both of these sounds are actually ‘diphthongs’, which means “two vowel sounds said quickly one after the other”.
If they were single vowels (“monophthongs”), you’d be able to continue making the unchanged sound for as long as you like (until you run out of breath) without moving your tongue or lips at all. Examples of monophthongs in English would be the ‘ee’ in ‘bee’ or the ‘a’ in ‘bat’.
You may have guessed where I’m heading with this: the Spanish O and E are simple monophthongs, meaning that your tongue and lips mustn’t move at all when you say them. (Spanish diphthongs are always written explicitly with two vowels, such as in león or puerto.) The problem, once again, is that our habits as English speakers get in the way, and we tend to replace the simple Spanish ‘o’ and ‘e’ with the doubled-up ‘oh’ and ‘ay’ sounds of English. The ‘ay’ sound, in fact, is actually closer to the Spanish ‘ei/ey’ as in ley or leído than it is to the single Spanish ‘e’.
As an aside, this is a great example of just how crazy English spelling can be. The English ‘oh’ and ‘ay’ sounds can be written a ridiculous number of ways: go, toe, though, sew, tow, beau, day, paid, neigh, buffet, alien, prey, brae, and I’m probably missing a few. It’s tough enough for native speakers; I’m sorry for foreigners who have to learn all of this the hard way.
Spanish Pronunciation Tip 3: ‘Soften’ your T’s and D’s
Another common pointer you’ll read in a guide to Spanish pronunciation is that the T and D sounds are ‘softer’ or ‘lighter’ than their English equivalents. That’s great, but what does this actually mean?
It’s pretty simple actually. First, say ‘T’ and ‘D’ out loud in your regular English way, and notice that for both sounds, your tongue touches your upper gums just behind the teeth. The Spanish ‘T’ and ‘D’ are pronounced with a subtle difference: your tongue should be slightly further forward in your mouth, touching or almost touching your upper teeth.
Can’t hear the difference? I assure you, a native Spanish speaker can, much like you can hear the difference between ‘bit’ and ‘beat’ but a Spanish (or Italian, or French, or Portuguese) person might not be able to. And as your Spanish improves you’ll start hearing the difference more clearly.
Of all the common mistakes in this article, this one is probably the easiest to correct. And also note that, if you pronounce your T’s or D’s the English way, it makes it almost impossible to pronounce the combined ‘tr’ or ‘dr’ sounds as in padre, trago, quadro… so you have an extra incentive to get this one right.
Also note that many Spanish dialects tend to ‘soften’ their D’s so much that they get dropped altogether when they’re between two vowels, so a word like encontrado would actually be pronounced ”encontrao”. This is very common in the south of Spain, for instance.
Spanish Pronunciation Tip 4: Shift Your Emphasis from Consonants to Vowels
How do you say “Canada”? It has three ‘a’s in it – shouldn’t they all be the same? Not quite: any native English speaker would say ‘CAH-nuh-duh’, only bothering to fully articulate the ‘A’ in the first, emphasised syllable. For the remaining two ‘A’s, we relax our mouths and just grunt out a neutral ‘uh’ sound, technically known as schwa.
This has nothing to do with dialect or formality; it’s just the lazy way we do vowels in English. Not even the Queen of England would say ‘CAH-nah-dah’. But the King of Spain would.
While Spanish words still have stressed and unstressed syllables – and it’s important you get the stress right – you need to pay a lot more attention to the individual vowels than you would in English. An A is an A, an E is an E, etc., and you’ve got to pronounce them properly every time they’re written. Cánada, not Cah-nuh-duh. Barcelona, not Barcelon-uh. This is a very common tendency of English speakers, and it’s totally wrong in Spanish.
More generally, in English we tend to place more emphasis on the consonant sounds in a word than we do on the vowels. Take the word ‘considerable’, which translates in Spanish to… considerable, although (as I hope you’ve figured out by now) it’s not pronounced the same. In English when we say this word we’re happy to mash the syllables together with no emphasis on the vowels: “kun-SID-ruh-bull’. Sometimes we even miss out syllables altogether, like in the word “probably”, which is often pronounced as “probly” or just “prolly”.
In a sense Spanish is the inverse of English, in that if you want to sound natural you need to place less emphasis on the consonants and more on the vowels. Considerable is pronounced something like ‘kon-seed-eh-RAH-bleh’, and each syllable needs to be articulated clearly, especially the vowel sound. If you want to talk in a relaxed, colloquial manner, the consonants get dropped before the vowels do – you need to make sure that each individual vowel sound (considerable) shines through.
It takes some getting used to, but if you can’t figure it out, just spend more time listening to native speakers and paying attention to which sounds they do and don’t emphasise.
The above is by no means a complete guide to perfect Spanish pronunciation, but it’s a start. The above four points are by far the most common issues for English speakers, and are very much worth focusing on as you strive to improve your accent.
And the inevitable side effect of learning the pronunciation lessons here is that when you hear other native English speakers trying to speak Spanish, you’ll realise that most of them make all of the above mistakes all the time, and their accents will make you cringe!

So you’ve started learning Spanish but your accent isn’t convincing yet? An accent is something that people don’t immediately think of, but it makes a huge difference in how you communicate, how you integrate, and how others perceive your Spanish.
Trying to imitate someone else’s accent will seem strange at first, but over time it will become more natural. But before you start improving your Spanish accent, you need to decide which Spanish accent you want to try and learn.
Which is well related to what kind of Spanish you should learn. If you haven’t decided yet, be sure to read our article to help you decide.
What type of Spanish accent do you want?
The first thing you need to decide is what kind of Spanish accent do you want? It’s not easy to say that I want my Spanish accent to be better, because each Spanish-speaking country has its own accent, and even different regions of these countries have different accents.
The accent you choose to learn can be based on your preferences, so literally what sounds best to you. Or you can choose a Spanish accent depending on the country that is most accessible to you. If you are from the US you can learn a Mexican accent, if you are from the UK you can learn a Spanish accent from Spain.
If you just want to pick one that sounds nice, listen to different Spanish accents and choose your favorite.
We hope this video will give you a better idea of the different types of accents.
Listen to certain sounds and repeat them back
To learn a different accent, you must listen to different phonemes and be able to repeat them. When you first start speaking Spanish, you will probably find yourself speaking Spanish with the accent of where you come from. If you are German and are learning Spanish, then when you speak it will be quite obvious that you are German.
This is because in your language you pronounce certain phonemes in a certain way, so even if you speak Spanish, you will still pronounce phonemes the same way you would in your native language.
Therefore, you need to actively listen to how the sound sounds in Spanish, and then repeat it back. It may sound unnatural at first, but the more you do it, the more natural it will be for you to create these sounds. Which brings me to the next piece of advice:
Take Action
Try not to feel stupid or embarrassed. You may find it silly to imitate an accent that doesn’t seem natural to you, but if you just do it, you won’t sound as silly as you think. Speaking Spanish without trying to imitate an accent at all sounds weird unless you try to pronounce the words like the locals do.
If you feel stupid at first, don’t try to put on a strong accent. You can work on this gradually, with a soft accent that gradually intensifies as you become more confident.
Practice rolling R
One of the things that makes the Spanish accent so recognizable is that they put crosses. While you don’t need to have this skill to be understood when you speak Spanish, it will definitely help you sound more like a native speaker.
This can be quite difficult for many English speakers because you don’t often make these sounds, but if you practice isolating the sound and doing it yourself, you’ll find it becomes easier to use in natural speech.
Watch this video on how to touch your p.
Practice
This is typical of Spaniards from Spain because Latinos do not lisp when they speak. But if you’re learning European Spanish, you’ll need to work on your lisp to make it sound more natural.
Visit the country
It may not be possible for you, but if you can, try visiting a country that speaks the Spanish language you want to learn. If you can do this and have the opportunity to talk to the locals, then you will find that learning the accent comes much faster.
If you do visit a country, be sure to talk to people at every opportunity. The more people you talk to, the better. Not only will this improve your speaking practice, but it will also make the accent more natural and familiar to you and easier to produce.
Find partners on italki from these countries specifically
If you can’t come to the country, don’t worry, there are many more ways to talk to people with a Spanish accent that you want to learn.
A great way to do this is to find language partners on italki. Italki is a language learning platform where you can find people from different countries around the world for a language exchange. And with italki, distance doesn’t matter, because all conversations can be conducted via Skype. So, if you want to get a Colombian accent, you just need to find someone from Colombia on italki and set up a Skype conversation with them. Do this several times a week and you will notice that your Colombian accent is starting to develop.
Find Spanish series or movies and watch them
Another way to improve your Spanish accent without leaving town is to watch shows or movies from your Spanish language country you are learning. This way you will have access to certain Spanish accents without having to travel out of town.
It’s really easy to do with Netflix, because you can specify not only which language you want to listen to or watch, but also in which country or region.
Listen to Spanish music from these countries
As with the previous tip, you can also listen to Spanish music from any country whose Spanish you want to learn. Then, as you sing along, you naturally imitate the singer and make the Spanish accent more familiar to you.
We hope you enjoyed our tips on how to improve your Spanish accent. Whatever type of Spanish accent you want to learn, our most important advice is to try to get as much information as possible and just for the sake of it. Don’t be afraid to look stupid, everyone has something to learn.
If you are learning Spanish, please let us know what type of accent you have decided to learn and how you have worked to improve your accent.
Features of the Spanish language
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. What is so attractive and what features of the Spanish language make a huge number of people strive to learn it?
Here are 7 distinctive features that can be distinguished:
Contents
1. Phonetics
2. Speech rate
3. Sinalefa – the reverse side of a large number of vowels
4. Pronunciation and accent
5. The richness of the Spanish language
6. Incredibly many verbs
7. Unlike other Romance languages 80 908 Services for learning Spanish
Two video lessons: the verb hacer, differences between ser and estar
1. Phonetics
Phonetics in Spanish is not difficult. You just need to learn the alphabet, which has 30 letters and remember a couple of simple rules for reading some of their combinations. For example, the combination of letters “ge” will be pronounced as “he”, and the combination “gue” will be pronounced as “ge”.
Once you learn these easy pronunciation rules, reading and speaking Spanish will be much easier than English or French.
2. Speech rate
Spanish is second only to Japanese in terms of speaking speed. But don’t be afraid of it!
Spanish has a lot of vowels, which makes pronouncing all this number of words not so difficult.
3. Sinalefa – the reverse side of a large number of vowels
This is a merger of vowels at the junction of words, which frightens many who want to learn Spanish. As a result of this phenomenon, it seems that the boundaries between words do not exist at all.
To a person who is not accustomed to fast Spanish speech, it may seem completely inarticulate. But everything comes with experience, the more words you know, the more you hear them.
4. Pronunciation and accent
Spanish is easy to speak. Many sounds are very similar to existing sounds in Russian. There is no need to worry about the accent, because there are a great many dialects of the Spanish language.
As an added incentive, good-natured Spaniards or Latinos will always encourage you to try to speak their language. After all, they themselves do not like foreign languages very much. They don’t care about your pronunciation.
Spaniards believe that in order to speak well, you just need to speak. Speak – it’s good. They will not look at you contemptuously or irritably wrinkle their foreheads, like the same stiff Englishmen, trying to understand your babble. They will help you, very simply, in Spanish, with gestures!
5. The richness of the Spanish language
Great and mighty is the Spanish language. Wealth, majesty and his power in synonyms, or rather in how often these synonyms are used.
In the same English language, there are no less synonyms, but one or two words are mainly used, the rest belong to the literary language and are not used in oral speech.
It’s different in Spanish: if a word has 10 synonyms, you have to use all 10.
6. Incredibly many verbs. If you want to learn Spanish, get ready to tirelessly conjugate verbs:
correct and incorrect,
in infinitive and subjunctive,
in the past,
present and
in the future.
7. Unlike other Romance languages
The point here is a different choice when borrowing words from the Latin fund common to many languages. Those who know Italian and French will be unpleasantly surprised.
The Italian and French brothers “fratello” and “frère” respectively, derived from the Latin “frater”, will not always see a brother in the Spanish “hermano” from the same Latin “germanus”.
That’s how special it is, Spanish.

Spanish has the status of an official language in Spain itself, as well as in a number of countries in Latin America. In total, more than 500 million people in the world speak Spanish, while for the vast majority it is native. More than 70 million speak it as their second mother tongue, and another 20 learn it as a foreign language. And in the US, Spanish is used even in government organizations on a par with English.
The term “Spanish” usually means Castilian Spanish – this is its main variant. In addition to it, other languages \u200b\u200bare used in Spain: Catalan, Galician, Basque. Strictly speaking, they are languages, not dialects. They have official status in certain regions, they are used in the press and office work, and they are taught in universities.
In Latin America, the language situation is slightly different. In Spanish-speaking countries, the classical (Castilian) version of Spanish is common, but each region has its own characteristics. The dialects of Latin America are a topic for a separate article, but today we will talk directly about Spain and the status of the Spanish language.
Why are there several languages in Spain?
In order to better understand the position of the Spanish language in the Kingdom, it is necessary to have at least a general idea of the administrative division of the country.
Spain is a unitary state, consisting of territorial units, the so-called autonomies. In total, there are 17 of them in the country. Each of the Spanish autonomies has its own rights and freedoms, the widest they are in the Basque Country, Catalonia, Navarre, Galicia and Andalusia. Spanish is the official language in all autonomies, but some of them have their own. Thus, some residents of the country speak two languages equally well.
Catalan, Basque and Galician have semi-official status. In addition to them, the country also has a number of dialects that are not generally recognized. The most popular is Asturian.
Languages in Spain
The Spanish constitution of 1978 made Castilian the official language of the country. Thus, Castilian Spanish is required to know and use all citizens. Castellano (as it is also called) is also dominant in the country: the vast majority of people living here use the language, although some autonomies, as we have already said, use other languages along with it.
Now the Spanish government is also trying to protect local languages from extinction, so special programs are being held in Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia to promote them.
But it wasn’t always like that. During the years of Franco’s dictatorship, the use of local languages was strictly forbidden, and Castilian Spanish was planted everywhere.
All Spanish languages (with the exception of Basque) belong to the Romance group and are derived from Latin. However, at the same time, all of them are quite different from each other, the same Catalan language is generally worth studying separately. Knowing Castilian Spanish even perfectly, you are unlikely to understand it.
Castilian is the only official language in most Spanish regions: Asturias, Andalusia, Aragon, Castile-La Mancha, Castile-Leon, Madrid, Murcia, Rioja, Extremadura and the Canary Islands. It is believed that this language appeared in the X century in the mountains of Cantabria, and then began to gradually spread throughout the history of the country, which was greatly facilitated by the Reconquista.
Catalan bears little resemblance to classical Spanish, although, of course, they have common origins. But it is much closer to the French language, which is not surprising, because Catalonia is located on the border with France.
Catalan is also spoken in the Balearic Islands, although it has its own dialectal features there. The so-called Valenciano is common in Valencia and is more of a dialect of Catalan, although some locals will call it a separate language. The classical version of Catalan is found in the autonomy itself, moreover, the most “pure” language is concentrated in the provinces of Barcelona and Girona, as well as in part of the province of Tarragona.
In Galicia, the official language is Galician, which is more like Portuguese than Spanish. More than 60% of the population of the autonomy use it more often than Castilian. Classical Spanish is used in the big cities, and Galician in the countryside.
The Basque language is spoken in the Basque Country itself, as well as in Navarre and a little in the south of France. Interestingly, he does not belong to the Romanesque group.
How many dialects are there in Spain?
If we talk about the dialects of the Spanish language that are found directly in Spain itself, then two main groups can be distinguished: southern and northern.
The northern dialects include Castilian, Rioja, Aragonese, Catalan, Galician and Churro. • The Castilian dialect is the variety of Spanish spoken in the lands from Cantabria to Cuenca. • The Rioja dialect is used directly in the Rioja region. It was formed from contacts between speakers of classical Spanish and those who use Basque. • Aragonese is another variety of Classical Spanish influenced by the Aragonese of the Middle Ages. • The Catalan dialect is a mixture of Castilian and Catalan. • The Galician dialect emerged from the contact between Galician and Castilian. • Churro is a bit similar to the Valencian dialect. It is distributed mainly in the Spanish region of Los Serranos as part of the Valencian community.
The southern dialects include Madrid, La Mancha, Valencian, Murcia, Extremadura, Andalusian and Canarian. • Madrid is spoken in Madrid itself. It is characterized by the use of jargon and slang. • La Mancha distributed directly in La Mancha. •
Valencian Catalan is spoken by the inhabitants of the Valencian Community.
• Murcian is a combination of several dialects used in Murcia. • Extremadura is characteristic of the autonomy of Extremadura. • There are several varieties of Andalusian Spanish, and they are spoken in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, as well as in Gibraltar. They are the least similar to standard Spanish. • Canarian resembles Andalusian. It is used in the Canaries.
It is worth noting that all these varieties of Spanish today can be found mainly in the speech of older people living in rural areas, and not in big cities.
Dialects have different pronunciations, sometimes lexical features.
Does it make sense to study Spanish dialects?
It makes sense to get acquainted with the above-named dialects only for general development. If Spanish is a foreign language for you, it is better to study its standard version.
In most language schools in Russia, students can only study Castilian Spanish, even Catalan, Galician and Basque are taught much less frequently in the country. Dialects of the Spanish language are usually of interest to those who have decided to connect their lives with one of these Spanish regions. However, even in this case, you can limit yourself to standard Spanish, because everyone understands it by default.
The standard language of Spain is a mandatory minimum for living in any region of the country.
If you want to get started with Spanish, come to the courses at the Capital School Center.
Studying the language at our school, you will not only be able to master grammar and basic vocabulary, but also learn how to actively use the acquired knowledge.

How to learn to speak with a British accent
Home » English Courses » Helpful Hints » British Accent: How to Be Accepted as a Real Englishman “Britishism”). Residents of the UK distinguish “their” from “foreigners” in many little things that cannot be learned simply by studying English. We offer to figure out what is worth doing in order to speak like Oxford and Cambridge graduates. No wonder their pronunciation is considered the English language of the Queen – the standard for literate Britons. We talk about how realistic it is to develop a British accent and how to do it with the least effort in this article.

What to do on your own?
Let’s talk about the sad thing right away: there will be no magic pill and a miracle with an instant accent. Will have to work. Most of the time by doing your own. So what can you really do yourself?
Pay attention to the subtleties of grammar and vocabulary
In addition to the theory from the textbook, we recommend learning from “live” examples. For example, daily reading posts from British social networks, articles from the UK media.
Live speech, rather than automatic translation, is easy to learn from periodicals or Internet resources
British English, like any other language, is not a ossified fixed structure, but a constantly evolving and renewing “organism”. Since the time of Dickens and Shakespeare, the vocabulary has increased significantly, slang words and set expressions have appeared that violate the rules of grammar. To speak the language of the classics in the 21st century is to show that you have learned the language, and are not a native speaker.
You can get caught on trifles. For example, under the harmless “Grass” (grass), the British can mean both greens and an informer (snitch). And the emotional “Blimey!” instead of “Wow!”, which the official translation suggests, actually means “May I fail!”. It seems like a trifle, but how can you not guess with building dialogues. And there are hundreds of such nuances. So the study of slang and the features of modern grammar is one of the most important steps in learning a language.
Watch films/series made in the UK
In full-screen films, as a rule, the characters speak “school” (classic) English. However, there are sitcoms where the speech is lively and saturated with modern slang. An additional plus: in such series, you can follow and repeat not only words and phrases, but also copy intonation, by which it is easy to find a “stranger” among the British. If you are closer to the Manchester dialect or the accent of the central part of the Kingdom, it is advisable to watch “The Royle Family” or “Beyblade”.
Ideally, watch British video bloggers for half an hour a day, and even better Her Majesty’s speech in Parliament. In the second case, of course, there will be no slang, but you will get the exact construction of phrases and verified intonations by 100%.
If you are planning to become your own among the Scots, “Gargoyles” with a pronounced Scots dialect will do.
Listen to songs by British artists
Listening to pure English songs regularly helps you get a British accent
Download popular songs to your player and listen to them on public transport, during your study/work breaks. The more often and longer you listen, the higher the chances that the brain will begin to perceive the accent as “native”, which seems to be the case in oral speech. The lyrics have everything: emotions, intonation, idioms, slang, so it’s a treasure trove of information. And unobtrusive. We recommend focusing on the performance of Sting, Robbie Williams, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and, of course, the classics of English rock The Beatles.
Where can I find help?
Loneliness in learning a language, and even more so in developing a specific accent, is a bad helper. Even with the best efforts, you simply will not notice mistakes that will give out “not a British” in a conversation. And there are several ways to “dilute” loneliness.
Chat with native speakers
Online conversations, traveling to the UK is the best way to speak like a Brit. Immersion in the language environment will allow “from the inside” to learn speech turns, slang, correct accents and intonation, articulation.
Don’t be afraid to be funny. Imagine an English-speaking interlocutor speaking Russian. Believe me, his accent will be no better. Please note that diplomats speak slowly and slightly incorrectly, even though they have been studying the Russian language for years. They are not afraid, and everyone understands them perfectly.
Learn a language in groups
Ideally, if the courses are taught by a native speaker, who will correct mistakes and “set” the correct pronunciation. In addition, the British teacher can learn the running words from modern speech. For example, abbreviations-ciphers: HRU? (How are you?), BBS (I’ll be back soon), etc.
Language learning option – rest in a language camp. When the majority in the social circle speaks with a specific accent, willy-nilly you copy the behavior of the interlocutor and adopt his intonation.
Conclusions
If there is a desire, anyone can speak with a British pronunciation. The main thing is not to wait for quick miracles and practice daily. With a teacher, English-speaking interlocutors, in front of a mirror. The advantage of studying is that even self-isolation cannot prevent you from “polishing” the language, all actions can be performed remotely. That is, there are no barriers to becoming “their own” among the British.

Atención: The opinion described in the article is subjective, it is a personal view of things. Every person has a different ability to learn languages, just like any other activity.
Before moving to Spain, I had little experience in learning foreign languages. I have only had relative success in studying business English at university. And even he was safely forgotten for a couple of years as unnecessary. At 29years, fate took me to Spain, where I began to learn a completely new language for me.
Everything I read on the Internet on the forums of people living in Spain six months before moving:
Spanish is a very easy language.
In three months you can learn to speak fluently without even learning the language specifically.
The Spaniards will be happy to help you when they see that you are trying to learn their language.
Simple grammar and the like.
As it turned out, many of the statements do not correspond to the real state of affairs at all. More about all this – under the cut.
How I prepared to learn Spanish
Since we were preparing for the move in advance, I decided to learn the basics of Spanish, which was helped by YouTube videos from Polyglot. I quickly looked through them: I remembered no more than 10 words and the principles of declension of simple verbs in the present tense. Ignorance did not bother me, because I was waiting for language courses in Spain for people like me.
When you start learning Spanish, it seems that everything is not so bad, even for those who have problems with the humanities. Already two weeks after the start of training, I could, at the very least, explain myself to the teacher on everyday and educational issues. But two months later it became clear that I was too happy.
Main problem: tenses in Spanish
In Spanish, from 14 to 18 tenses are distinguished, seven of which are complex compounds. All this wealth is conjugated in 4 moods: imperative, subjunctive, conditional and indicative.
Indicative:
Presente de Indicativo;
Preterito Indefinido;
Preterito Imperfecto de Indicativo;
Preterito Perfecto de Indicativo;
Preterito Pluscuamperfecto de Indicativo;
Preterito Anterior de Indicativo;
Futuro Simple de Indicativo;
Futuro Perfecto de Indicativo.
Imperative:
Imperativo Afirmativo;
Imperative Negative.
Conditional:
Conditional Simple;
Conditioner Perfecto.
Subjunctive:
Presente de Subjuntivo;
Preterito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo;
Preterito Perfecto de Subjuntivo;
Preterito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo;
Futuro Simple de Subjuntivo;
Futuro Perfecto de Subjuntivo.
If compared with the Russian language, then in the great and mighty, researchers distinguish from 10 to 16 tenses. But most often three main forms are used: future, past and present tense. All tenses are actively used in Spanish, with the exception of two that can only be seen in official documents – Futuro Simple de Subjuntivo and Futuro Perfecto de Subjuntivo.
Spanish learners have at least 12 tenses to master, most of which I didn’t even know existed. Is it possible not to torture yourself and talk using three simple times? Yes, and you will most likely be understood. But whether you will understand what they will answer you is another question. Definitely, using only simple tenses in spoken Spanish is not enough. If a person wants to integrate into Spanish society, find a job or plans to study.
There were two main points in my plan before the move: to study the language for half a year and immediately after the course to start studying at the university, simultaneously pulling up Spanish. Two months after the move, I realized that my plan had shattered into dust. Without amazing inclinations to grasp foreign words on the fly and memorize them the first time, there is no chance of learning to speak Spanish tolerably in six months. Therefore, burying my hopes, I signed up for an additional seven-month course and at the same time hired a tutor for 2-3 hours a week.
For the first six months, I spent 5 to 7 hours daily with homework to study. After I signed up for a new course and began to study extra with the teacher, Spanish began to take up to 10 hours every day. It was a complete immersion and a crazy pace of study. Despite my best efforts, it took me six months to start talking to people on the street.
Subjunctive and other features
And at that moment our group moved on to the study of the subjunctive mood. From the very first lesson, it became clear that we must forget everything that was taught before and start teaching again, taking into account the subjuntivo. There is also a subjunctive mood in Russian, but in a very simple form – for example, “I would go to the cinema with you, but I’ll be busy.” It is this “would” that forms a certain modality of the verb, that is, indicates the emotions and desires of the speaker.
Spaniards are very emotional people, they have the subjunctive in every conversation and almost all times. It is quite difficult for a Russian-speaking person to understand the principle and logic of the rules for its use. For example, my friend from Italy did not even have to learn anything, because the Italian language has a similar approach. And I still rack my brains before saying something in the subjunctive mood.
And to close the topic with Spanish verbs, I will only say that they are declined by persons and numbers, as in Russian. For example, the simple verb “comer” (Spanish for “to eat”) would be conjugated as follows in all tenses:
It looks intimidating, but it’s a simple verb with which there are usually no problems. Conjugation rules are rarely difficult, unless it concerns irregular verbs. But there are few of them, and often they change according to certain principles that are easy to remember.
If we talk about Spanish syntax and phonetics, then here I can say that I had a rest. There are few rules, and they are mastered in the learning process by themselves. In most cases, words are read exactly the same as they are written, with the exception of a couple of rules. For example, the h sound is not pronounced – you just need to skip this letter in the word (why is it needed then?). “LL” is always read not as a double “l”, but as “th”. As you can see, such exceptions are easy to remember.
The word order in Spanish sentences is simple, and there will be no problems with it either. Some fiction books, especially Spanish authors from the middle of the last century, often have very long sentences with a huge number of adjectives and adverbs. It happens that by the end of a sentence you already forget what was there at the beginning.
For me, the Spanish language has become not so malleable as it might seem at first glance. I admit that someone will overcome the language barrier earlier, but I could not bring myself to talk, knowing that I was doing it wrong.
Spanish in Andalusia
Even though some Spaniards sincerely helped me in my studies, this often caused additional difficulties. And all because it is desirable to learn Castilian Spanish at the same time as the dialect that is common in the province where you live.
I am in Andalusia, where Spanish has taken on a special form. I lovingly call her “village”. Imagine a distant Russian village, where people say “eyny” and prefer to talk to each other very loudly, raising their tone at the end of each phrase: “Lyudk, and Lyudk, did you give the piglets ?!”. This is how they say it here as well. Because of this peculiarity and the manner of pronunciation of words by the inhabitants of Andalusia, for a long time I could not begin to communicate in Spanish.
It’s hard to convey that gloom when you go outside after a language course and can’t make out almost anything in the mess of sounds and words. And it’s not even about the specific slang that is in Andalusia and which is not in the dictionaries, but in the manner of pronouncing words, swallowing endings, abbreviations and the very high speed with which sentences fly out of the mouths of others. For example, the well-known phrase “buenos días”, or “good morning”,, is pronounced in Andalusia very quickly and in a truncated version. The end result is something like “ween!”. And communication with older people still causes some suffering for me. The situation is similar with young people from 10 to 25 years old, who have their own manner of communication and a huge stock of slang words.
In the process of adaptation, it turned out that the manner of communication and the Andalusian dialect differs from city to city and from village to village. Even in the neighboring suburb, which is a kilometer away from where I live, people speak a little differently. This seriously complicates the task, and even now I do not always understand what they say to me if the local dialect is used.
The same can be said about the manner of writing of most Spaniards. Unfortunately, I’m on several parent chats because my kids are in the local school. Approximately half of the parents write correctly, using official Spanish when corresponding and sometimes placing commas for better understanding. And some messages often make you put a glass of wine aside and intensively analyze abbreviations, illiterately written words, and also mentally put dots where they do not interfere. Often, only after a serious analysis of the message, it becomes clear that it does not carry any useful information for anyone other than the sender himself.
With all the difficulties that have arisen and continue to arise along the way, Spaniards never refuse to repeat a phrase or start speaking a little slower for successful communication. This is almost always accompanied by a polite smile. But, in my opinion, the “hospitability” of the Spaniards is somewhat exaggerated due to the numerous reviews of tourists. But I will write about this another time.
And now you can read about studying in Spain (not languages), moving to Spain and learning English in the USA.
Spanish alphabet with transcription and pronunciation
The study of any foreign language begins with getting to know its alphabet, pronunciation of letters and transcription. Spanish is no exception. Without this knowledge, it will be difficult not only to read, write, but also speak Spanish. classes in a language school to get acquainted with the Spanish alphabet.
Alfabeto o abecedario contains five vowels and twenty-two consonants. The table contains letters, as well as examples of words where these letters are present.

Glass letters of the Spanish alphabet
Now you know, how many letters in the Island alphanum. Let’s take a look at how they read. To do this, we supplement each letter with a transcription. You will be able to learn the pronunciation of Spanish letters in different positions.
In the Spanish alphabet, the vowels “ a “, “ e “, “ o ” are strong letters, and “ i ”, “ and ” are considered weak characters.
A [a] – The letter is pronounced in words in the same way as the letter [ a ] of the Russian alphabet under stress. For example: [ order ], [ map ], [ Spain ].
E [e] – Equivalent to the Russian letter [ e ] when it is part of the stressed syllable. To understand the sound, we give an example from the Russian language: [ ethics ], [ echo ], [ emergency ].
I [and] – This letter is similar to the Russian letter [ and ]. At the beginning of a word, it is pronounced as [ and ]. Example: [ study ], [ Spanish ]. After vowels, this letter should be read as a sound [ and ] in the Russian word “ buffalo “. And before vowels, the letter is read as a slotted sound [ and ] with a slight aspiration. For example: viejo [ viejo ].
O [o] – This letter in stressed and unstressed position is pronounced like Russian [ o ] in a strong position. This vowel never sounds like [ a ]. To better understand how to pronounce it correctly, we offer several examples from the Russian language: [ solo ], [ elephant ], [ bias ].
U [y] – This letter will require some mimic effort from you. It sounds like [ y ], and when pronouncing it, for its correct sound, you need to stretch your lips and fold them ” into a tube “. For an example of sounding, we give a few Russian words, where [ y ] is pronounced equivalent to the Spanish version: [ fly ] [ moon ] [ score ]. When a given phonetic unit is in one of the following combinations: “ que “, “ qui “; “ gue “, “ gui “, then “ u ” is not readable. As an example, consider the following linguistic forms: queso [ keso ], guitarrista [ guitarist ]. If in such a combination above the letter “ ü “is a colon, then it is read similarly to the phonetic unit of the Russian alphabet [ y ]. For example, pingüinos [ pinguinos ].
Spanish consonants
Spanish vowels sound in most cases and combinations the same as they are written. But with consonants, the situation is somewhat more complicated. We analyze the transcription in the main provisions and exceptions:
B [be] – This letter in the initial position (standing first) reads like a sound [ b ]. It is also read in the middle of a word if it comes after “ m ” and “ n “. If a letter is located between two vowels, before consonants (except for the two mentioned), then its sound changes – the sound acquires something averaged: like simultaneous sounds [ b ] and [ to ].
C [se] – In the position when this letter is located in front of the letters “ a “, “ o “, “ u “, as well as all consonants, it is pronounced as [ to ] in the words of the Russian alphabet. For example, we use the word “ paint “. There is one more variant of the pronunciation of a letter: when it is located in a word before the vowels “ e ” and “ i ”, then it must be pronounced in a muffled way, like an interdental [ θ ].
D [de] – In Spanish, the analogue of the Russian letter “ d ” sounds a little softer, but without muffling. In the first phonetic position (the beginning of a word) and after the consonants “ n “, “ l ” this letter is read as a voiced sound [ d ], for example: dedo [ dedo ]. In the middle of a word, it is no longer pronounced so loudly. For example, we can cite the Russian word [ boat ]. In this case, the tongue does not press against the teeth, but only touches them with the tip. At the end of the word, this sound is so weakened that it almost completely disappears.
F [efe] – This is a very exact analogue of the letter [ f ] of the Russian alphabet.
G [he] – Depending on the location in the word, as well as neighboring phonetic units, this letter may sound differently. If its position in the word is before all consonants and vowels “ a “, “ o “, “ u “, as well as in combinations “ gu “, where “ u ” does not sound, then ” g “should be read as hard and sonorous [ g ]. Another thing is when “ g ” comes before “ e ” and “ i “. In such positions, it will be read as a hard deaf [ x ].
H [ache] – This letter never sounds in Spanish words. As an example: “ Hombre ” [ Ombre ]. You may ask: “Why write it?”. Well, for an analogy, remember the Russian word “ sun ”, where “ l ” is not read, or “ladder”, in which there is an unreadable letter “ t ”. Why are they in these words? It so happened, and the phonetic analysis of words helps to understand where these letters in these lexical units came from.
J [jota] – If you meet this letter in a Spanish word, read it as [ x ]. For example: “ junio ” [ junio ].
K [ka] – This is the equivalent of a dull sound [ to ]. For example: “ caramel “.
L [ele] – In the Spanish alphabet, the analogue of the Russian sound [ l ] sounds much softer, but not like [ l’ ]. To correctly read the Spanish letter “ l “, you need to touch the alveoli with the tip of the tongue.
M [eme] – A complete analogue of the sound [ m ] of the Russian alphabet. Example: “ milk “.
N [ene] – The phonetic unit “ n ” is equivalent to the sound [ n ] of the Russian alphabet. Example: “ news “.
Ñ [enye] – This phonetic unit “ ñ ” in the Spanish alphabet is read as [ n’ ]. For example, we can cite the words “ cookies “, “ cognac “.
P [ne] – The letter “ p ” can be considered a complete analogue of [ p ] from the Russian alphabet.
Q [ku] – The phonetic unit is used only in the combination “ qu “, where “ u ” is not readable. In this case, “ q ” reads as [ to ].
R [erre] – This phonetic unit is most often pronounced in Spanish words as a sound [ р ] from the Russian alphabet. Between vowels it is pronounced softly [ p’ ].
S [es] – This phonetic symbol is read as an average sound between [ s ] and [ sh ]. In the case when the letter “ s ” is located before the consonant letters “ d “, “ m ” or “ g “, then it is read as soft [ s’ ].
T [te] – This phonetic unit is always, in any position, equivalent to a solid sound [ t ] from the Russian alphabet. In no position, even if it stands before vowels, does it soften.
V [uwe] – The reading of this letter in different positions is different. For example, in the first position (the beginning of a word) and after the voiced consonants “ m “, “ n ” it is pronounced as [ b ]. In middle positions (middle of a word) it will sound like an average sound between [ to ] and [ to ].
W [uwe doble] – This letter is the equivalent of “ w ” in the English alphabet. It is pronounced similar to the sound [ w ] in the word “ windsurf “.
X [ekis ] – Spanish “x” should be read as a combination [ ks ]. For example, “ examen ” [ examen ].
Y [and griega] – This letter can have several soundings. It can be pronounced as the sound [ and ] or as [ and ]. Most often, we use the second option, for example, “ yogur ” [ yogur ].
Z [set] – The letter “ z ” sounds like an interdental sound [ θ ].
Digraphs
Knowing how many letters there are in Spanish is not enough. Since there are several more important features, without which the phonetics of this language cannot be studied. So, the Spanish alphabet contains 5 digraphs (dígrafos) – combinations of two letters used in certain words and having a certain pronunciation. Digraphs look like this:
Digraph
a
So, Spanish letters that are written in certain combinations are called digraphs. The rules for reading them are saved for any position in words and remain unchanged:
The combination “ ch ” should be pronounced in all positions as a Russian sound [ h ], for example: champaña [ champaña ].
The combination “ ll ” sounds in linguistic units as a short soft sound [ and ]. For example, “ lluvia ” [ yuvia ], llamada [ yamada ].
The digraph “ rr ” often occurs in the middle of a word between two vowels. It is read as a double voiced sound [ rr ].
The combination “ gu ” before “ e “, “ i ” is read as a Russian sound [ g ], but [ u ] is not pronounced (except for the combination gü).
Combination « q ” before “ e “, “ i ” is read as a Russian sound [ k ], but [ u ] is not pronounced (except for the combination qü).
Spanish stress
Learning the Spanish alphabet is not enough to be able to read and speak the language with confidence. There are some other pronunciation features that should be taken into account. One of the most difficult moments is to understand which syllable is stressed. The meaning of the phrase often depends on this, since there are a number of words whose spelling is similar, and it depends on the stress what meaning it carries. For example: “ tú ” translates as the pronoun “ you “, and “ tu ” as the pronoun “ your “. “ Sí ” is translated as the particle “ yes “, and “ si ” should be translated as the subordinating conjunction “ if “.
When learning to read Spanish texts, take into account the Spanish pronunciation, following the following algorithm:
In all Spanish words that end in a vowel, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable. For example, “boda” [boda].
For words that end in the consonants ” n ” and ” s “, the stress is also on the penultimate syllable.
For all other cases, words are read with stress on the last syllable. For example, “cantar” [cantar].
All exceptions are marked with a graphic accent mark, which helps to comply with the norms of Spanish pronunciation. For example, when a word contains the letter á , é , í , ó , ú , the accent will fall on it.
It is important to remember that vowels, even in an unstressed position, are pronounced clearly. For example, instead of an unstressed sound [ o ], you cannot pronounce the sound [ a ], instead of an unstressed sound [ e ] do not pronounce the sound [ and ], as is often the case in Russian.
How to quickly learn the Spanish alphabet?
There are several proven methods that are often used in both children’s and adult groups to quickly memorize the Spanish alphabet:
Cards. Write on 27 small cards (about the size of a business card) the letters of the Spanish alphabet. On the other side, write the name of the letter with the transcription in small print. Ask your family members to help you. Give the deck of pictures to your helper. Let him pull out a card in random order from the deck and ask you to voice which letter is shown. He will be able to check you thanks to a hint on the back side, which is visible only to him. Run through all the cards 1-2 times a day, already on the 3-4th circle you will remember the names of the letters by association with their spelling.
Songs and tongue twisters. On the net you can find interesting counting songs, tongue twisters that help you learn the Spanish alphabet. By repeating sentences in a certain rhythm, remembering letters is much easier.
Associations. Find among the items of permanent use those that begin with different letters of the alphabet. For example, “ A “. The word “amigo” [amigo] begins with this letter, which translates as “friend.” Or “ C “. The word “cabeza” [kabesa] begins with this letter, translated from Spanish as “head”.
Speed of speech and pronunciation in Spanish
Spanish is the second most spoken language tool after Japanese. The Spaniards speak quickly, “chatter”. However, do not be afraid that the speaker’s speech will be incomprehensible to you. Due to the large number of vowel sounds in speech, vocabulary is perceived by the ear in a melodious manner.
A large number of vowel sounds in words and at the junction of words can become a definite obstacle for beginners who are just trying to comprehend the basics of Spanish speech. It may seem to them that there are no boundaries between words and sentences. But gradually, those who continue to learn the language begin to distinguish between these boundaries, to hear and understand each linguistic unit and the sentence as a whole.
Spanish pronunciation and accent
Learning Spanish is easy. It is enough just to start speaking it. You don’t have to worry about the accent, since a large number of Spanish dialects smooth out the strict pronunciation criteria.

Therefore, they will be condescending to gaps in pronunciation. Speak Spanish? This is great, say the speakers. And in case of a language difficulty, they will be happy to help you with gestures!
