Is winter a good time to visit Spain?

Most people who come to Spain for city breaks to visit Barcelona or Madrid usually come between the spring and autumn months, when the weather is great for walking outside and visiting places.

Holidaymakers who come to Spain for beach holidays usually come in summer, when the Spanish costas, meaning Spain’s coasts, get really crowded with locals and international tourists as well.

But how about winter? Is Spain a good destination to catch some winter sun?

The honest answer is that it depends on where you’re planning to go and what your expectations are.

Compared to its European neighbors, peninsular Spain has mild winters, especially in the south, meaning Andalucia and along the coasts like in the regions of Valencia, Murcia, and Almeria.

But the warmest places to visit in winter in Spain are definitely the islands, especially the Canary Islands, which are also our top recommendation when it comes to hot places to visit in winter in Europe.

Best places to visit in Spain for winter sun

With a bit of luck, you can spend a sunny and warm holiday in Spain even in December, January or February, when the rest of Europe is dealing with cold weather and sometimes snow.

We’ll first show you the warmest places in continental Spain during winter and at the end, you can find our recommendations for the absolute hottest winter destinations in Spain, which are the 4 largest of the Canary Islands.

1. Malaga

Malaga is a beautiful and vibrant city on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

Costa del Sol is an extremely popular tourist destination during the summer months, but less so during winter. Although you can’t expect proper summer temperatures in winter, you can expect the weather to resemble springtime, with mild temperatures and some sunny days mixed with rainy days.

If you’re lucky and you visit Malaga in December you might even be able to catch some sun on the beach, but it’s also possible to experience a few days of continuous rain. In winter in Malaga, you can usually expect maximum temperatures during the day to range between 11°C and 22°C, which is a big difference.

Still, Malaga is a nice place to visit in Spain even in winter, if you want to escape the tourist crowds and simply enjoy Spain’s tapas bars and visit museums and palaces.

Malaga weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 8°C (46. 4°F)

Average rainy days per month: 6

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

2. Valencia

Who dares to test the sea temperature in Valencia in winter?

Valencia is one of our favorite cities in Spain.

It’s a big city, it has amazing paella and tasty Sangria, the people are friendly, the city looks green compared to other Spanish cities and you also have easy access to a huge beach.

Valencia is also a good base if you want to explore several other places in the Valencian community like Parc Natural de l’Albufera, Gandia, Denia, Javea, or Castellon de la Plana.

Valencia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 7.8°C (46.04°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 5.5

3. Alicante

Also part of the Valencian Community, Alicante is located a bit further south from Valencia and it’s yet another lovely city to visit in winter. Alicante has a beautiful urban beach Playa del Postiguet where you can take walks even on winter days, especially if it’s sunny.

You can also climb up to Santa Barbara Castle and admire the view from up top and in the afternoon you can try several of the nice bars and restaurants in town.

Alicante is well connected with several other towns on the coast and you can use the long-distance Alicante Tram to travel to places like Villajoyosa, Playa San Juan, or the popular resort Benidorm.

Alicante weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 7°C (44.6°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3.5

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

4. Murcia

Murcia is located a little further south than Alicante and it is less touristy than Valencia, Malaga, or Alicante. The winter weather in Murcia is mild, with fewer rainy days than Malaga but very similar temperatures.

Murcia is very quiet and relaxed during the winter months, as it’s not a coastal town and it gets very few visitors during the low season. However, Murcia can be a good place to stay during winter for remote workers who are just looking for a city with mild temperatures, good internet and a chilled atmosphere. From Murcia, you can easily visit other places like Cartagena, Orihuela or Torrevieja.

Murcia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 5.5°C (41.9°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

5. Almeria

Located in the Andalusia region, Almeria is not as popular from a tourist perspective as Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, or Malaga. But Almeria still has a few interesting places to visit like the Alcazaba (medieval fortress) or the cathedral, which can easily be seen during the winter months, when Almeria is among the best places to visit in Spain for some winter sun.

Almeria is located on the coast within the Gulf of Almeria and it enjoys lovely warm winter days, with much less rain than most of the other cities in continental Spain. Except for the Canary Islands, Almeria might be one of the warmest places to visit in Spain in winter, with a bit of luck, since rainy days can occur here as well.

Almeria weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 9°C (48.2°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3

Average daily sunshine hours: 6.2

6. Benidorm

Benidorm is one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Spain, especially during the summer months when the hotels get full, the beaches get crowded and the bars get noisy.

Did you know that Benidorm is the city with the most skyscrapers in Spain? The city is quite atypical for Spain and although winter is not considered high-season here, there are still tourists who visit especially during the Christmas holidays and New Year’s Eve.

If it’s sunny and warm you can still walk on the beach, grab a coffee at one of the cafes or bars on the promenade or visit other places along the coastline like Altea or Calp.

Benidorm weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 7.7°C (45.86°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

The Canary Islands – the warmest place to visit in Spain in winter

All of the previous destinations presented in this article were located in peninsular Spain, but the Canary Islands archipelago is the Spanish region with the best winter weather and also the hottest place to visit in Europe in winter.

There are 8 Canary Islands, all similar and at the same time different from each other, but for the winter months, we can recommend you to visit one of these 4, which are the most popular: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.

7. Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and also the island that is most popular and gets the most visitors annually.

If you want to visit Tenerife during the season, you should stay in the south of the island in places like Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos, or Costa Adeje. Remember that winter is considered the high season in Tenerife, as the Canary Islands are the best destination for winter sun in Spain and Europe as well.

Tenerife South weather in winter

Average high temperature: 22.1°C (71.78°F)

Average low temperature: 15.8°C (60.44°F)

Average rainy days per month: 2

Average daily sunshine hours: 6.5

8. Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is yet another popular choice when it comes to warm beach holidays in Spain during the winter season, from December and until March.

For the best weather possible, we recommend you to stay in resorts located in the south like Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Puerto Rico, or Meloneras. Las Palmas, the island’s capital, is also a popular destination in winter, especially for remote workers, but the weather is not quite as warm as in the south of Gran Canaria.

Gran Canaria weather in winter

Average high temperature: 21.4°C (70.52°F)

Average low temperature: 15.3°C (59.54°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3.5

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

9. Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is the Canary Islands where you should go if you’re looking for a relaxed and chilled atmosphere. With sunny and warm weather even during the winter season, Fuerteventura is a good place to be if you want to escape the harsh winters in continental Europe or the UK.

All of the island’s main resorts are good options for winter holidays: Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma, or Morro Jable.

Fuerteventura weather in winter

Average high temperature: 21.2°C (70.16°F)

Average low temperature: 15°C (59°F)

Average rainy days per month: 2.5

Average daily sunshine hours: 6.5

10. Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smallest of the 4 Canary Islands mentioned here, but it’s also a good option for sunny winter breaks in Spain.

If you want to visit Lanzarote in winter we would recommend you to stay in Playa Blanca, as it tends to be a bit warmer because it’s less windy than the other resorts. Puerto del Carmen is also a good option since it’s the largest and busiest resort and Costa Teguise can be windier, which makes it a favorite among visitors looking to practice water sports.

Lanzarote weather in winter

Average high temperature: 21.2°C (70.16°F)

Average low temperature: 14.5°C (58.1°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3.2

Average daily sunshine hours: 6.7

How hot are the Canary Islands in winter? Can you sunbathe?

Yes, you can definitely sunbathe and even swim in the Canaries even in winter.

When the sun is out the “real feel” temperature will be higher than what you would expect by looking at the thermometer. This is because of the UV index, so you should still use a high SPF sun cream even in winter.

The Canary Islands are a good destination for a warm winter holiday in Spain but don’t expect tropical weather with overly high temperatures or high humidity, because the climate in the Canaries is sub-tropical, which means that the weather is just right all year round.

Planning a winter holiday to Spain and you’re thinking to visit one of the Canary Islands?

Best Places To Visit In Spain In December

If you are feeling the effects of winter and seek some sun, or maybe you want to take your family on an unforgettable skiing holiday, one of the most special times to holiday in Spain is December. With the festive period in full swing, find out which cities have the best Christmas markets and festive celebrations as well as where to ski and beach resorts for some winter sun.

Fuerteventura

If you are lacking some serious vitamin D, Fuerteventura has some of the warmest weather in Europe during winter, where temperatures rarely dip below 20 degrees. Fuerteventura is one of the lesser-known islands in the Canaries but has some of the most stunning beaches in Spain. It is fast becoming a cool destination due to its surfing, windsurfing and kiteboarding culture. Rent a beach villa in Fuerteventura in December to relax, enjoy the tranquillity that winter brings to the island and explore its rugged nature.

Tarragona

This ancient city is located in the north of the Catalonia region with many ruins from its time as a Roman colony, including the impressive Theatre of Tarraco. Stay in Tarragona in the winter and see its impressive attractions, avoiding the hordes of summer crowds. For couples, wander around the historic centre with architecture dating back over 2000 years, get lost in the charming streets and narrow alleys and dine under the vaults of the Roman circus.

Throughout December the city is awash with deep-rooted cultural traditions and lots of festive entertainment for children such as el Tió – a log that gives presents – and the theatre show Els Pastorets – The Little Shepherds. If you are around for new years eve, the Catalan tradition of a jumping jack – L’Home dels Nassos, meaning the man with many noses parades the streets giving sweets to children.

Madrid

Rent an apartment in Madrid in December to feel the romanticism and Christmas spirit throughout the city. Whilst the weather is crisp and cold, the city hosts many Christmassy events throughout the month, take the ‘navibus’ (a Christmas bus) tour of the city’s sparkling light displays. Get your skates on and visit one of the ice rinks in the city, afterwards warm up in a cosy cafe serving churros with hot chocolate, head to the centre of San Ginés where they serve this delicacy 24/7.

There are an abundance of Christmas markets that pop up in neighbourhoods all around the city. Some of the bigger ones are in Plaza Mayor, Plaza de España, Plaza Opera and Plaza Jacinto Benavente where you can shop for Christmas gifts, everything from handmade items to traditional food.

If you fancy hitting the slopes, Madrid is close to the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range and the ski resort of Puerta de Navacerrada. It can easily be accessed for a day trip from Madrid using public transport that will take you to the slopes within a couple of hours.

Granada

Granada is a magical destination for a holiday in December. Not only do you have the palpable Christmas spirit of the city, but you have the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains beautifully set in the backdrop. These mountains are home to Europe’s most southerly ski resort that offers one of Europes longest ski seasons as well as the sunniest. As one of the lesser known resorts, skiing in the Sierra Nevada is perfect for a family holiday to Spain in December and nothing is more festive than Christmas in the snow.

Adding to the special atmosphere of Granada in December is the Christmas market in Plaza Bib-Rambla with a variety of different stalls selling handcrafted toys to traditional festive food. The best time to browse these stalls is in the evening along with the locals. The square comes alive, under the hue of tasteful Christmas lights and the cafes are full of people dipping churros in hot chocolate. A big tradition in Spain at Christmas are the ‘Belens’ – beautifully crafted nativity scenes with movement and lights that appear all around the town and the majority are free to enter.

Lanzarote

Escape to the sunny beaches of Lanzarote in December, where the temperatures still reach a pleasant 21 degrees. One of the most beautiful resorts on the island is Playa Dorada, perfect for couples looking for a romantic winter holiday to Spain. Take a day trip to Teguise – a small quaint village and wander around the cobbled streets and white-washed houses.

Composed of golden sandy beaches, an unspoilt shoreline and the Atlantic still holding onto some of the warmth from the summer sun, Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination for a family holiday in December. Throughout the month there is various festive entertainment for children as well as Christmas markets in towns such as Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen.

Zaragoza

As Spain’s fifth largest city and the capital of the beautiful region of Aragón, its surprising that Zaragoza is not more popular. Located south of the Pyrenees you will find famous ski resorts such as Formigal and Baqueira-Beret where you can easily take a day trip to from the city.

Stroll through the picturesque streets in the old town and admire the various architectural structures left by the Roman and Moorish occupancy of the city. A must visit is the Aljafería Palace – one of the most important Islamic palaces in Spain which nowadays is used as Aragóns regional parliament. One structure you will not fail to spot is the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the striking domes and colourful tuffets resemble those of a Disney palace. Take a romantic stroll along the river at night to see its true beauty. This region is famous for its hearty cuisine and no one visits Zaragoza without dining at Casa Lac, one of the oldest restaurants in the whole of Spain.

Bilbao

Visit Bilbao for a city break in December full of art and culture. Located in the Basque Country, it is known for its lush green scenery and culinary expertise. This cosmopolitan city is at the heart of modern art in Spain, particularly due to Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum an impressive structure that can be seen from many parts of the city displaying contemporary pieces from the likes of Andy Warhol.

Explore the colourful architecture and narrow streets in the Old Town, dipping in and out of cosy pintxo bars serving traditional Basque-style tapas like those in Plaza Nueva. Cross the river and head to the ‘hip’ neighbourhood – Bilbao la Vieja – Bilbao’s answer to Soho, and find urban art, independent boutiques and fashionable bars and restaurants.

Málaga

Most people consider a holiday to Málaga for sun, sea and sand, but in December it is just as special. The Christmas spirit can be felt all around town and contributing to this are the blanket of Christmas lights over Calle Larios. Every evening from 06:00 pm people flock to Calle Larios to secure their position for the ‘light show,’ where the canopy of lights ‘dance’ to traditional Christmas music.

Wander around the Christmas markets in Málaga for inspiration and to get you in the festive mood. One of the best is ‘Garage,’ a pop-up market held over the long weekend in December. Taking place in car park in the cool neighbourhood of Soho, find beautifully handcrafted products, antiques, fashion, vintage items amongst other unique gifts. The handicraft fair ‘Parque de Málaga’ takes place on the Paseo de Parque. Throughout the Christmas period, the market is open daily until 10.00 pm where you can peruse everything from books to traditional Christmas sweets.

Barcelona

Barcelona has a special atmosphere in December, with Christmas lights strung far as the eye can see, adorning some of the most iconic buildings such as Gaudí’s Casa Batlló. For Christmas gifts and inspiration it doesn’t get much better than Barcelona. One of Europe’s most traditional and biggest Christmas markets can be found in the gothic quarter – La Fira de Santa Llúcia, spend a couple of hours browsing the stools surrounded by a stunning array of lights. Up and down famous shopping streets like Passeig de Gràcia and in Rambla de Catalunya, admire the shop window displays where shop owners go all out for the festive period. Look out for the ‘caganer’ – the ‘crapper,’ who you will spot squatting in every nativity scene ensuring good luck for the coming year.

Stay in Barcelona for new years and join the locals in their celebrations. The best locations to ring in the new year for free are Plaça Catalunya, Montjuic’s magic fountain and Plaça d’Espanya with electric atmospheres, firework displays and the tradition of attempting to eat a grape at each chime of the clock on the 12-second to midnight.

December Weather

Expect colder weather in Spain in December as winter officially starts. There’s no question of the cold breeze, but the intensity depends on the region to visit.

Chilly mornings and nights can be experienced in the capital city Madrid, with temperatures dipping to 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Everywhere near Madrid is gloomy, however, the sun still shows itself in mid-day.

To squeeze in some warmth and more sun, travelers can head to the Mediterranean coast. Barcelona, Almeria, Malaga, and Cadiz have an average temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit daily.

This temperature increases as travelers go further south until Andalucia. While the weather’s quite milder, the mountainous areas in Andalucia are mostly covered in snow, particularly in the Sierra Nevada.

In northern Spain, cities near the Atlantic coast are surprisingly warmer at around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The mountainous areas in this region are covered in snow, but precipitation is rather common.

Expect more habitual rain during the day, occasional fog, and thunderstorm. In addition, the sun sets earlier at five in the afternoon, and the temperature drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Overall, Spain in December weather is quite gloomy and the temperature drops in the early morning and late at night. To be comfortable while exploring the cities, simply wear the right clothing and bring an umbrella when going out.

Winter Holiday Destinations

Everywhere’s a good destination in December but some cities go all out for the Christmas celebration and events. Travelers can also take advantage of the snow in Sierra Nevada and Pyrenees, where the ski season officially kicks off in December.

Costa del Sol

The fabulous terrains and snowy peaks provide pleasant views for travelers visiting Costa del Sol. Famous for its long stretch of fine beaches, this coastal region comprises lovely cities like Malaga, Marbella, and Nerja. December is a lovely time to visit for the icy plunge and the quiet afternoons.

Malaga transforms into a huge light show with the biggest illuminating displays in plazas and Calle Larios. Every night, the city features lumiere shows that look magical under the dark, dreamy sky.

More than the shows, visitors can also visit the night and pop-up markets and find a number of interesting items and souvenirs.

There’s also a number of events to witness, including the flamenco dancing by troupes from across Spain. Locals gather around streets to join in the fun and experience the Christmas fiesta.

Food is also another reason to visit Malaga for the deep friend breadcrumbs called Migas and other traditional sweets.

Madrid

Probably the best winter holiday destination minus the ski, Madrid is a massive playground in December. A lot of residents are going out of the city, which means travelers can have the city all to themselves. Snow is uncommon, but it’s pretty cold during the day and especially at night.

Before Christmas, locals can be seen in malls and markets rather than the tourist attractions. It’s the perfect time to visit museums, parks, and a couple of famous landmarks and restaurants.

As December 25 goes near, the capital city becomes festive and more colorful. There are also events like the Solstice bonfires, which marks the Festival of Light parade.

Tourists can also take the Navibus or Christmas bus tour and see the city’s magnificent light displays. If visiting the ski resorts isn’t possible, the city also has ice rinks for ice skating activity. Before heading back into the hotel, warm up in churros and hot chocolate.

December in Spain is special because of the abundance of the markets in almost all neighborhoods. In Madrid, the Plaza Mayor turns into a huge flea market for a number of shops selling handmade items, traditional foods, and others.

Sierra Nevada

The premier ski destination in Spain is in Sierra Nevada, featuring 65 miles of ski runs. This is where the crowd flocks for the rest of the winter holiday. It’s known territory for snowboarding and skiing, with visitors peaking to a million.

As early as the first week of December, the accommodation and hotels in the Sierra Nevada start to fill up. When Sierra Nevada Ski Station is fully booked, most people head to nearby cities like Granada, to get a room or cabin. December in this part of Spain is terribly busy, welcoming a plunge of tourists daily.

Granada also offers the best views with snow-capped mountains and lush trees. Aside from this, tourists can also explore the city’s treasured attractions including the Moorish buildings, hiking trails, and the holy grail tapas.

Barcelona

Gaudí’s territory, Barcelona, provides an intimate and warm ambiance in December. The temperature is a bit higher compared to other cities, therefore, people can enjoy lighter clothing. The coastal city holds special events that make winter colorful, exciting, and a lot fun.

Everywhere one looks, an explosion of lights can be seen; plazas are glittering with lights and narrow streets are decorated in Christmas-themed items.

The Gothic Quarter also holds the biggest night markets surrounded by stunning lights and decors. Never forget to drop by Montjuic’s magic fountain and the firework displays at the Plaça d’Espanya.

December is also the best time to drop by popular landmarks and attractions including Gaudí-designed buildings, art museums, and shopping districts.

For food, holiday treats are common in street markets. Grab a handful of turrón or thick tablet of nougat and almonds, neules cylindrical wafer, and King’s cake with marzipan and crema Catalana.

Famous Events in December

There’s obviously a lot going on in Spain in December because of Christmas traditions, festivals, and other events. These festivals are one of the reasons for the flock of tourists during winter.

Christmas Day

Like the rest of the world, Christmas Day is a huge affair for Spain. However, the night before December 25 or what locals call nochebuena is more special as families go to a midnight mass and enjoy a feast at home.

Locals cook a traditional Christmas dinner called Pavo Trufado de Navidad, which consists of stuffed turkey and truffles or roasted young hen. In other parts of Spain, such as Galicia, the menu is all seafood—lobster, shellfish, mollusks, and crabs.

Following the midnight service, some towns carry out a parade with people holding torches and playing guitars, tambourines, and drums.

Devil’s Day

In celebration of the Día de los Santos Inocentes on December 28, the town of Castilla La Mancha holds a Devil’s Day festival that involves a man dressed as the devil. This man wanders around town, followed by young children trying to pull its tail.

While young men knock on houses asking for people to contribute food for the village feast, the devil convinces people not to. Basically, the festival is for young people coming of age that year, more fun with dances, auctions, and a mass.

Tourists can join in the fun, participating in food fights, feasts, and other events. Just remember that Día de los Santos Inocentes is like April Fools, when people pull pranks to each other.

Migas Festival Torrox

The Sunday before Christmas marks the Torrox Migas Festival dedicated to the delicacy migas or the deep-fried breadcrumbs. It’s easily become one of the most important gastronomic festivals in Spain, when locals prepare and distribute the main dish Migas.

There are a number of performances and street dancing on this day. Streets are also filled with vendors selling wine, olive oil, raisins, fritters, and other traditional Christmas treats.

Dance of the Seises

Spain in December is a celebration of a traditional dance carried out by young boys who form the choir in Seville. This group of children performs a lively dance in front of the cathedral accompanied by a cappella. Dressed in traditional medieval clothing, the sight is one-of-a-kind and the performance is truly unique.

Who doesn’t love endless blue skies, sunshine, turquoise water and the feeling of soft warm sand beneath your feet?

Cala de Algaiarens, Menorca

Cala de Algaiarens is on private property and there is a €4 admission fee. If you’re staying in a holiday villa in Ciutadella, to reach the beach, you’ll nee to head for Cala Morell on the Ronda Norte.

El Palmar Beach, Cádiz

It may not be located in a quiet cove like most of the secluded beaches on this list, but El Palmar is as deserted as they come.

When you want a break from riding the waves there are a few small bars that serve wine and snacks. It’s a great place for the kids to build sandcastles, but bring an umbrella, because there is no shade in sight. The beach is located near Vejer de la Frontera on route A-48, between Tarifa and Cádiz.

Where to go on holiday in Spain in winter? Weather, prices, reviews, tips.

Holidays spent in Spain, even in winter, can give a lot of vivid sensations and great memories. Fans of active pastime – for example, downhill skiing – are waiting for the Pyrenees, and those who like to relax on the warm seashore – beach resorts in the south of the mainland and in the Canaries. And, of course, everyone can have a good time visiting the many attractions and museums.

Weather

The weather in Spain in winter is not very cold and quite sunny. In the central and northern parts of the country, the air warms up on average +10°C, while in the south it reaches +17°C. In the mountains, the thermometer drops to -10°C. In the north, precipitation is quite common.

It often rains and snows in Madrid, accompanied by strong winds. Quite sharp temperature changes occur here – in January 2021 there were days with both temperatures of +5 – 7°C and +15 – 18°C.

Snow in Madrid is a rare occurrence, it happens once every few years.

Where is it warm in Spain in winter? The highest temperatures are recorded in the Canary Islands, where even in the first months of the year you can enjoy relaxing on the beach. In December and January it can be up to +22°C, and in February it gets a couple of degrees colder. The water temperature is about +20°C, which makes it quite comfortable for swimming. It is somewhat cooler in the Balearic archipelago – around + 15 ° C during the day.

Where to rest?

Spa Resorts

The most famous of them are Panticosa, located in the province of Huesca, and La Garrigue, located near Barcelona. Various hotels in Valencia, Andalusia and Catalonia offer spa services, balneotherapy and thalassotherapy. Some spas offer wine baths and body wraps.

Beaches

This season of the year in the most famous Spanish resorts of Costa Brava and Costa Dorada, although it is sunny, it is too cold to relax on the beach. Those wishing to spend time at sea can go to the Costa del Sol resort area. However, the water only warms up to +16°C, which makes it more pleasant to swim in the pool. But prices for accommodation and services provided to tourists are reduced by one and a half to two times.

Costa Brava in winter

Those who still want to soak up the sunny coast go to the Canary archipelago, where you can swim and lie on the beach all year round. The most popular among vacationers is Tenerife with its stunning views of volcanoes and exotic landscapes. Thanks to the duty-free zone, there are also good conditions for shopping.

Ski resorts

For skiing you need to go north to the Pyrenees. The season here runs from November to early May. In the Catalan Pyrenees, Baqueira Beret, La Molina and Macella are considered the best resorts, famous for their high-class service and the quality of the slopes.

Ski resort Baqueira-Beret

Near the French border is the largest ski center in the country – Formigal. It has about a hundred tracks of various difficulty levels, which makes it suitable for both beginner skiers and professionals. In the vicinity of Granada, there is the Sierra Nevada resort, known as a favorite vacation spot for members of the royal family. The king himself spends several weeks here every year.

What to see?

No matter where you go to Spain in winter, there are plenty of old masterpieces of architecture everywhere, including a couple dozen UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These include both individual buildings – fortresses, monasteries and royal palaces – and the historical centers of cities – for example, such as Santiago de Compostela, Cáceres, Salamanca. You can look at the hanging houses of Cuenca and the buildings created by the architect A. Gaudí, the buildings of the Roman Empire in Cordoba, the fortresses of the Alcazar and the Alhambra. Unusual impressions will be given by walking along the streets of Madrid, Seville, Toledo. Art lovers will certainly be happy to visit one of the many museums – for example, the Prado, the Reina Sofia Art Center, the Malaga Museum.

Prado Museum in Madrid

The country is rich in natural attractions – there are several hundred reserves and natural parks. The most visited is Teide, located in Tenerife. It is arranged right on the dormant volcano with the same name. They climb it with the help of a cable car, which operates throughout the year. Visitors are also given the opportunity to spend the night in a house on top of the volcano and watch the sunrise there, for which they need to pay an amount of 20 euros.

Tourists who spend winter holidays in Spain with their children can visit Loro Parque – a zoo in the Canary Islands, offering a look at a collection of parrots, a show of marine life and a family of penguins. In the Canary Islands, it will also be interesting for children to go to the monkey park and water parks – Siam Park for the older ones, and Aqualand for the very young. In the city of Salou, an hour’s drive from Barcelona, there is Port Aventura, an entertainment center with many unusual attractions.

Events of interest

At this time of the year there are fun festivals everywhere. For example, in February, a carnival is organized in Santa Cruz de Tenerife with processions, performances by musicians, the choice of a queen and fireworks – it is considered that in its scope it is second only to the carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

On the 6th of January, the Canary Islands celebrate the feast of the three kings, during which all children receive gifts and treats. Closer to February, on other islands – the Balearic Islands – the day of St. Sebastian, the patron saint of the archipelago, is celebrated. The holiday is accompanied by all kinds of performances, concerts and light shows. And at the beginning of the first month of the year, numerous almond orchards bloom there – in terms of beauty, this spectacle is comparable to the flowering of Japanese sakura.

If you go on vacation in December, you can witness the celebration of Catholic Christmas. On the beautifully decorated streets of the cities, fairs are held where original Christmas decorations, Christmas souvenirs and various delicacies are sold. Soon after it, the New Year is celebrated – festive festivities and performances are organized on the squares, which end with colorful fireworks. And when the December holidays end, the time of sales begins, lasting until the beginning of March, which pleases lovers of bargains.

Reviews of tourists say that you can relax in Spain in winter even better than in summer – there is no sweltering heat that prevents you from seeing all the sights of interest, and there are not so many travelers. The only reason for spoiled impressions can only be a sharp cold snap and precipitation, but this usually happens only in the central part of the country.

Spain every year attracts more and more tourists with its architecture, art, and of course, cuisine. Therefore, when planning a trip to the city of Gaudi, it is extremely important to know: where exactly in Barcelona you can eat inexpensively, and most importantly, deliciously. More …

Those same Canary Islands, which they like to cite as an example, mentioning a great vacation, are made up of seven magnificent atolls, the largest of which is Tenerife – and the most beautiful. But this beauty is fundamentally different from the standard tropical …

Holidays in the city of Alicante – Holidays in Spain (Alicante). Accommodation, excursions, transfers, information.

The holiday in Spanish is called “fiesta” (not to be confused with “siesta”, the afternoon rest time).

They are loved, appreciated and celebrated in Spain in general and in Alicante in particular. Even the smallest and most unimportant holiday will be held on a grand scale, mood, beautifully and colorfully – what can we say about the main and long-awaited ones (see the list below).

Any fiesta is an event with the participation of a large number of people, with obligatory processions in national costumes, with orchestras, drummers, sweets and food from the stalls, often with firecrackers and fireworks. Attention to motorists: blocking a couple of the central streets of the city and driving to parking lots is one of the favorite holiday fun!

For tourists, this is a special flavor and exotic. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the holiday, if you have the chance. Especially unusual and especially “Spanish”, without a touch of gloss “for tourists”, there are village celebrations. By the way, it is there that you can try the real, most delicious and, as usual, incredibly harmful version of Spanish food – paella from frying pans for 50 people, ribs, sausages, huge sandwiches or small tapas. ..

For more information about all kinds of upcoming holidays, their exact program, visit the tourist office (the list of such offices in Alicante is here).

Siam Park was amazing. Went on a Monday so didn’t have many people so no long qeues. Was tempted to buy a fast pass due to reviews but as it didn’t qualify for the big rides and you could only use it once on others, decided not to bother. So glad we did as went on the rides we loved numerous times with hardly any waiting time. Did the whole park and was done by 2pm so time left in the day to do others things. Well worth a visit.
Loro Parque – if you’re a Zoo person it was great. If you’re not, then its not so great! Only went because it was a ‘must do’ if you’re in Tenerife and ignorantly thought that being such a big Zoo, animals in captivity wouldn’t have the same impact on me. So this is a personal choice to experience. Good food. Fair prices. Clean environment.

You should know a few things while you are in. When you arrive at morning (into both parks) they will take pictures of you on prepared spots. You can buy those pictures when you are leaving the park (before closing time). A picture costs 6,- euro. When you are in Siam Park go right away to the river attraction and go left on crosswords (there is only one and a lifeguard will be there). It is a secret passage where they take another pictures. Btw, there is no way buying the pictures next day or online. You have only that change when leaving.
One important thing for Siam Park. I recommend taking fast pass. Everyone in the park will explain you how it works. Btw, THEY SELL ONLY LIMITED AMOUNT OF fast passes. Don’t hesitate (us i did) but it is possible to enjoy it without it. Mainly before the closing hours the attractions are less bussy.

The zoo enclosures are spacious for most animals. However, some animal shelters could really use an upgrade. The orcas are really a big minus. It’s good that they are working on making the world a better place. But that starts with ceasing to keep orcas. Siam Park is a really cool water park. Where even I: someone with a fear of water slides, had a good time. Would definitely come back here again. Loro Parque is very money oriented, buy this, support that, donate here. That is really a big minus.

Tenerife. Los gigantes and Loro Parque: nika2201 — LiveJournal

Sleepy and tired, we got to the hotel only at 3 am. Our hotel was the last of those where we stopped by, leaving part of the vacationers. We zigzag around the island for about an hour. By the way, this is our hotel. Simple, but cozy, and we only had breakfast, dinner and spent the night there, ~~, unlike most tourists with all inclusive~~ . We lived on the third floor, the edge of our landing is visible on the left).

A very emotional receptionist in English-Spanish-sign explained to us how to get to our room. As a result, we made a big circle around the hotel and found the right sign just almost where we went in the other direction). Immediately fell asleep. And in the morning I woke up from the fact that under a thin sheet I was cold. Waking up, she looked out the window, and there was snow! I call my husband and ask: “Are we definitely in Africa?” The ocean was like a snowy desert. It turned out that it is cold on the island at night, in the morning it quickly and sharply brightens and gets hotter, and in the evening it also gets dark and cold. This is the view from our window. ~~In fact, right out of the window there is a view of the wasteland, but if you stretch out to the left…)~~ In the fog you can see the island La Gomera – the smallest of the inhabited Canary Islands.

We immediately got acquainted with the local fauna. Did you find a lizard?)

We had breakfast and went to the beach. The roads on the island are paved with slippery tiles, which periodically dripped something from the palm trees, from which they also became sticky. I slipped a couple of times, and on the last day, when I was trying to keep my balance, I tore my arm against the wall quite well. But what palm trees!)

A 5-minute walk from the hotel was one of the few beaches with rare black volcanic sand, ~~but most of the tourists with all inclusive are unlikely to go further than the pool and bar with free cocktails~~ . Only this beautiful beach I do not have a single photo without us in the photo. Therefore, I apologize for the nogul.)

15 minutes walk from there is another similar beach, but very tiny.

Such beautiful ships float in the ocean (near the port). On the first, by the way, a few days later we rode.

I love ice cream! This is with coconut flakes and in half a coconut … By the way, what does a coconut have? Peel? In Tenerife, almost all ice cream is sold in packs of 4-8-12 pieces, few, like ours, have been seen.

The island is volcanic, so the terrain is impossibly uneven, the roads constantly twist up-down-right-left (I regretted this the very next day), there are many mountains and hills, cliffs, cliffs and other geographical irregularities.

One of the attractions is Los gigantes rocks . True, we did not immediately understand what they were). After 3 days we were there again on excursions and were convinced.

And on the way back we noticed such an unusual museum (but we are not amateurs, so we did not go) and advertising either scuba divers or excursions.

The next day we decided to go to Loro Parque (Parrot Park) – the most famous, largest and most luxurious animal park on the islands (http://www.loroparque.com/index.php/en/). The park is in the north, and we lived in the west. Here is a photo with a distance (33 km in a straight line) for clarity.

We got to the park by bus for about 2 hours. The road was impossible. Very steep, winding, twisting, we’d have Danger Turn signs all the way. I, of course, left the prudently taken anti-sickness pills in the hotel (who would have thought that I would get motion sickness on the bus? haha) and sat all green.

Speaking of buses. The bus network of Titsa is developed, the drivers have a beautiful white and green uniform, the buses run frequently and are almost empty. Seats on the bus are only seated, two on each side. To exit, you need to press the button on the ceiling, and if you are standing at a bus stop, wave your hand, otherwise the bus will not stop.

When we arrived, I immediately sent my husband to the pharmacy for medicine. The Spaniards there, fortunately, mostly speak English, are friendly and helpful.

Having wandered a little, we got to the park. We still expected to look into the botanical garden and the Miniature Park 10 km away (Naive! We left Loro Park in such a way as to get on the last bus). It’s a pity that we didn’t visit the Miniature Park (now I google photos of the park), I love this, but I didn’t agree to the rollercoaster on the roads anymore.

This is the entrance to Loro Park. Apparently, they were going to expand the territory. The owners of the park are Germans (although the park and their own water park are made in an oriental theme), and German correctness and pedantry are felt everywhere there.

Entrance to the park 2 years ago cost 34 euros for an adult. If you are also going to visit the water park (and we were not going to at that time) – take a twin ticket, save 10 euros. At the entrance there is such a bell with an inscription like “Call if you did a good deed today.”

Everything is wonderful in the park. Well-fed well-groomed animals live in clean large enclosures. There are not very many animal species, but the park itself is huge. Shows of killer whales, dolphins, fur seals and parrots are held 4-7 times a day, a cool large aquarium and “penguinarium” are also open, where penguins are kept in a natural darkened environment (since they had a polar night at that time). At the entrance you will be given a detailed and convenient map of the park. True, I don’t advise buying souvenirs there – the prices are inflated by 3 times. Buy better in local shops, you will find the same thing there.
Everything that I saw before was not even close to Loro Park, and it is unlikely that many parks that I will see in the future will be able to compare with it. Even if you don’t like zoos, you will definitely appreciate this park. And especially the kids will love it. And now I will chat less, and you enjoy). I will try to add only the most interesting, and already a huge post.

Blurred due to the rotating platform on which visitors ride so as not to interfere with each other and animals.

Cages with birds stand unobtrusively on the side, as if hinting that the parrot park).

Huge, beautiful killer whales. All the first rows were filled with water, it’s good that we were sitting at the top). The best show in the park.

Dolphin show. Also cool.

Aquarium. Mostly, the photos are blurry due to glass and lighting.

Tl;dr. Tenerife is not a place where people come to lie on the beach, or even by the pool in a hotel. There is a stormy ocean in which you can’t even swim with a child. But there are many attractions, parks – you won’t get bored for sure. It is better to live in the south, where most of the entertainment is, or in the west, if you want a black beach.

If you plan to travel a lot, buy a Bono card. This is something like a travel card, but gives a discount. There are 10, 25 (like) euros.

Loro park – must visit for children and adults. Photos cannot convey all its beauty. You won’t regret it).

Visit Loro Parque with friends – 8th day of vacation

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Loro Park is another place in Tenerife that you should definitely visit! This park was conceived as a park of parrots, initially there were only 150 species, but at the moment it is unique. The park includes a zoo, a botanical garden and a circus. According to its advertisement: number 1 in Europe and number 2 in the world!

Loro Parque – a unique zoo in Tenerife

Loro Parque is now home to the largest collection of parrots in the world – about 4 thousand species. Loro Park, as well as Siam Park water park, are built in Thai style.

It is better to plan a visit to Loro Parque in the first half of the day and we got up early, had breakfast, and then hit the road. It was not possible to arrive at the opening, we missed the denouement several times, then chatting, then confused. We did not stray for a long time and nevertheless got to point “B”. The car was parked in the park, it costs 3-4 euros for the whole day.

Also at the entrance there is a similar system in both parks: you are photographed with beautiful parrots (pictured above) and if you like the photo at the exit, you can buy it for 6 euros, if not, no one forces you.

Shows and performances in Loro Parque

We already had the map, let’s go! First of all, we admired the indifferent gorillas. Next is the penguinarium. It is worth mentioning separately – this is the largest penguinarium in the world. In it, the living conditions of penguins are thought out to the smallest detail and are as close to natural as possible. Birds are sprinkled with their favorite snow from a cannon. During the polar night, the lights are dimmed in the penguinaria.

Fur seal show

Next we visited the fur seal show. This show is held several times a day at certain times, so we had everything planned in advance. Cats have brought us a lot of pleasure.

Killer whale show

8 90 the last killer whale show scheduled for the day let us down. It was just closed for maintenance. We have seen him more than once, but the guys were upset. And it was because of what – this is a great show!

Tip from the authors

Killer whales are trained to beat their tails on occasion – this is an element of the show, so it’s better not to sit on the first three rows without a “raincoat”

What else Loro Parque offers

All other enclosures located in the park are available to visitors at any time of the day. We had most of it left and we leisurely strolled through the park. In my opinion, each aviary deserves special attention. You can talk about it for hours. What are only two white tigers, a panther, a jaguar, all kinds of parrots.

Katandra Treetops and parrot show

There is even a parrot show, but in my opinion it will be interesting only for small children. There is also a place in the park called Katandra Treetops. This is a huge aviary with a net stretched over the top, which you can enter. Inside, among tropical plants, a small staircase complex was built. It will allow you to climb to the tops of the trees, where parrots fly freely. Feeders are placed throughout the aviary and you can even feed the birds from your hands.

Loro Park and Siam water park, weather and flights

It’s no secret that everyone associates holidays in the Canary Islands with luxury, something chic and inaccessible to ordinary people. However, my husband and I, like most avid tourists, dreamed of going there, swimming in the ocean and lying under the warm sun on a black beach. And the dream came true in October 2014. A ticket to Tenerife, better known to everyone as the island of eternal spring, we received as a wedding gift from our parents.

As it turned out, the high cost of holidays in the Canary Islands is a myth that is still supported by travel agencies. Most of the Europeans we met on the island talked about the budget of holidays here, in particular, here you can see many students and hippies from Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden and other countries.

The gift voucher did not include flights, so this was the first question we dealt with immediately after the wedding.
You can get to Tenerife by plane, direct flight or transfers. I was surprised by the fact that a round-trip flight with transfers is almost twice cheaper than a direct flight. Therefore, we decided to save money and used the services of the Spanish company Iberia by buying tickets to Tenerife, with a flight through Madrid. The transfer took only 1.5 hours, which passed unnoticed.

Housing.

They settled us in Villas Fañabé & Bahía Suites. This is a very convenient apart-hotel almost on the ocean (7-9 minutes walk and you are already on the beach), where guests are greeted by polite staff who are already used to bad English from Russian-speaking tourists.
We had a swimming pool on the territory of the hotel, although it was open only until six in the evening, and the water in it was always cold. The rooms are spacious and clean, though rarely cleaned, but we tried to keep cleanliness on our own. One of the biggest drawbacks was the low speed of wifi, and in order to contact the parents, it was necessary to “catch” it in unusual places.

Weather.

For all the time on vacation in Tenerife in October, we came across only 3 cloudy days. There were some rains, but they fell only at night, and in the morning the weather was simply amazing. In total, the heat in Tenerife is so comfortable that both children and the elderly will feel great here. It is believed that the climate on the islands is generally unique, so most tourists come here to improve their physical and mental health. In a word, we really liked the weather in Tenerife!

Tours and entertainment.

As soon as we had enough rest on the beach and dived with fish in the ocean, we immediately decided to go on a sightseeing trip and get to know the island better.

Perhaps the next place we went to is a must in the tourist list of any vacationer. So, the Teide volcano.
I have been to many places in my life and thought that I was not enough anymore, which will surprise me, but I was wrong. What you see is simply breathtaking! It seemed that you were on the set of some kind of disaster movie, the size of the volcano was so striking.
Regarding getting to Teide: there are several options – renting a car in Tenerife, an excursion program for 40 euros, a taxi, or, as we did, by bus number 342 to the funicular itself (stop Telesferico Del Teide). The bus ran once a day, the trip lasted 2 hours, but the scenery outside the window brightened up our road.

The cost of climbing 3,550 meters is 25 euros, in order to climb higher on the crater, you need to issue a special written permit. We did not know this, so we had to walk around the observation deck. On a trip to the volcano, it is worth taking sunglasses, a bottle of water, a warm jacket and comfortable shoes, as the hike will be tiring.
It is safe to say that the Teide volcano, which rises above the island of Tenerife, strikes with its grandeur and inspires awe. At the foot you can see an interesting lunar picture, which is formed by craters, volcanic flows frozen decades ago, rocks of unusual shapes.
We also saw the legendary Los Roques de Garcia – rocks that have an interesting greenish tint due to the large amount of copper in the stones.

Noteworthy is Icod de Los Vynos. It is here that the world-famous Dragon Tree grows and there is a museum of various butterflies. I am a romantic by nature, so it was a sin not to visit such a picturesque place.

On the recommendations of our travel agent, my husband and I visited Loro Park and Siam Park water park. The fact that this is one of the most visited places on the island of Tenerife, I can personally confirm. The flow of people here is simply endless.
Loro Park is the perfect place for a family holiday, especially if you have children. Interesting shows of parrots, dolphins, sea lions and a beautiful aquarium with jellyfish.

There will be plenty to do here for the whole day.

Siam Park Water Park is suitable for lovers of outdoor activities. I am not a supporter of rides on slides and attractions, so I calmly swam in the pools and rested on sunbeds, since the infrastructure of the water park allows guests to find something for every taste, but my husband had a good rest, he, like a child, either went down or climbed the slides and shouted from pleasure. True, there is a big minus here – the queues in which a person stands from 20 to 60 minutes.

In addition to visiting interesting places, I also had time to shop in shops. Tenerife is not Milan or Barcelona, the choice of clothes and shoes here is not significant, but I was able to buy a few nice things. In particular, prices for branded items from Zara, Mango are lower here than here.
As for the Canarian dishes, we didn’t ignore the seafood, because visiting a seaside resort and not trying fish or shrimp is simply a crime. And it is worth noting that they are especially tasty here. My husband constantly ordered paella and local potatoes (soaked and boiled in sea water). Delicious rum and sangria, especially with fruit and ice – just what you need on hot evenings.
Well, a wedding holiday in Tenerife brought us not only a lot of emotions, it impressed us with its uniqueness and simplicity at the same time, such an once inaccessible island became very close and dear to us in 10 days.

25 of the Best European Christmas Destinations!

Sharing is caring!

Anyone else out there planning an uber-chic, Christmas in Europe itinerary and have exactly no idea where to go and where to find some of the best European Christmas destinations out there?

I mean, I’ve been to Europe countless times and have enjoyed many a Christmas vacation in Europe, especially the Christmas markets in Romania. And yet, I still have a hard time deciding where some of the best Christmas destinations in Europe are and how to savor the Christmas season.

However, this eternal plight of mine makes a lot more sense once you realize that I have a beyond difficult time deciding what to eat for dinner or what to watch on Netflix, let alone where to spend my very European Christmas vacation.

Which is why I, and a few of my expert travel blogger friends, have created this handy dandy list of the best European Christmas destinations on planet Earth.

You know, uber-fab, super snazzy, swelerific (Yes, I really do sound like I’m straight out of a 1950s era sitcom) places that will leave you thinking incredibly cliched things like, “Please sir, I want some more.”

So, Oliver Twist, eat your heart out! Because we’re about to swan dive into the pool of pure, travel awesomeness that is this post about all of the best European destinations for Christmas.

Dear wonderful, beautiful, and oh-so-amazing reader (Yup, I lay it on thick for my dozens of fans). Since I am incapable of making it rain money, there’s a high probability (like 99.999%) that this post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more information.

If you’re booking a trip right now then I IMPLORE you to get travel insurance – even if it’s not from me.

After all, this past year has been a wild ride and I don’t want you to lose money because government regulations have changed.

Truth be told though, I’ve never traveled without travel insurance and don’t think you should either – especially since I think we’ve all had plans drastically change because of the pandemic.

Therefore, find an insurance agency that covers travel changes related to COVID-19, like my two all-time faves World Nomads and Safety Wing. You can also read more about which policy is right for you in my full review here.

Best European Christmas Destinations: Switzerland

1. Montreux on Lake Geneva, Switzerland

By: Maureen of So Many Places So Little Time

Some of the beautiful, lake-side Christmas decorations you’ll see in Monteux, Switzerland. Image sourced from Carolien Coenen on Flickr.com.

As far as Christmas ambiance goes, Montreux has it all! It’s a picture-perfect town that is nestled at the foot of the Alps and that is situated along the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

And during the Christmas season, the entire town is transformed into a fairytale wonderland that is home to Switzerland’s largest Christmas market. In total, this market features 170 exquisitely decorated stalls that sit along the lake promenade and sell a variety of different Christmas goodies that you’ll love.

So, if you’re looking for things to do in Montreux, stop by any evening you like and marvel at Santa Claus soaring above the lake on his flying sleigh. Or, head into the Loggers Village for some delicious mulled wine and freshly baked pizza. You can even take a ride on the Big Wheel which offers visitors magnificent views of Montreux and the surrounding Christmas lights.

Next, visit the nearby Elves’ Square, which features an interactive light display that illuminates a variety of fir trees that surrounded several giant reindeer – lights that are all powered by nearby bicycles. So, the more you pedal, the more impressive the light display becomes.

And if you have a bit of extra time, you can also stop by Chillon Castle, which is decked out in pine cones and holds an annual medieval festival, or take a ride on the scenic Santa Train, which winds its way up the nearby mountains to Les Rochers de Naye and concludes with a visit to Santa in his grotto on top of the mountain.

Yes, Christmas truly is a special time in Montreux, making this one of the best European Christmas destinations out there.

2. Zurich, Switzerland

By: Lauren of Pack and Paint

3. Comrie, Scotland

By: Katy of The Balkans and Beyond

The beautiful Flambeaux procession through Comrie, Scotland for Hogmanay,

Every year on December 31st, the small Scottish village of Comrie comes alive with lights and joyous celebrations for Hogmanay. And one of these amazing events is The Flambeaux, an ancient tradition that is thought to date all the way back to the Pagan times.

Initially, The Flambeaux was a Pagan fire cleansing ritual that was used to rid the town of bad spirits and bring in good luck for the upcoming year. That’s why, during this ritual, you’ll see ten birch poles that are topped with rags that are covered in tar. At the stroke of Midnight, these poles are then lit up with fire and paraded through the town, followed by a local pipe band and citizens in fancy attire.

Once the march is complete, the town is officially cleansed and the poles are cast out over the Dalginross Bridge and into the River Earn. Locals and visitors alike then return to enjoy some outdoor ceilidh (Scottish dancing) in the village Square.

So, if you would like to be part of these beautifully unique celebrations, then be sure to book a room at the Royal Hotel since the outdoor ceilidh is held here and the torches are lit just outside the hotel. It is also a lovely boutique hotel that serves up a delicious, hearty highland breakfast as well as a fantastic, traditional steak pie for lunch.

Other amazing accommodations in the area include Comrie Croft, a quaint little farm that sits just outside the village, or the rather grand Crieff Hydro Hotel in the neighboring town of Crieff.

However, to truly make the most of your evening:

Arrive early since Comrie is a small village and Hogmanay is popular in Scotland.

Wear warm, waterproof clothing since everything is outdoors and temperatures can get as low as -10C (14F).

Sample some local spirits but don’t drive if you’re planning to drink. Scottish laws with regards to drinking and driving laws are very strict.

The city of York in northern England is a perfect destination for a festive winter break since York at Christmas is truly magical.

This historic city hosts a six week long St Nicholas Fair, the highlight of which is an award-winning Christmas market.

York’s grand Victorian and Georgian buildings are also beautifully decorated and illuminated throughout this time of year, with many local, historic homes showcasing themed festive displays. The delectable window display at the 100-year-old, Betty’s Tea Rooms is also one of my favorites and should not be missed.

Additionally, you can attend a carol concert at York Minster, a stunning gothic cathedral that is home to the largest expanse of stained glass in the world.

And for impressive views of this festive city, you can stop by the medieval city walls (the longest city walls in England) or ascend Clifford’s Tower (It’s located in the city center and has features the remains of a Norman keep). You can also attend a raucous Christmas pantomime at one of the city’s three theatres.

Now, for a stunning hotel with a view, Dean’s Court Hotel is a perfect choice since it sits just opposite York Minster. Food lovers will also love sitting at a wooden pew at the medieval alehouse, The House of Trembling Madness.

Best European Christmas Destinations: Germany

9. Frankfurt, Germany

By: Daniel and Ilona of Top Travel Sights

The vibrant Christmas market in the center of Frankfurt, Germany.

Frankfurt, Germany is absolutely one of the best European Christmas destinations. Because in the weeks leading up to Christmas, you can visit one of Germany’s oldest Christmas markets – a bustling holiday wonderland that was first mentioned in writing in 1393.

Today, the Christmas market now extends throughout the entire city center, with many Frankfurt suburbs now having their own, smaller, weekend Christmas markets throughout December.

However, the real highlight of this stunning market is the enormous Christmas tree that you’ll find sitting out in front of Frankfurt City Hall. You’ll also enjoy an on-site merry-go-round, as well as a stage for choral performances.

Frankfurt is also the perfect place for trying regional Christmas specialties like mulled wine (or Glühwein in German), hot apple wine infused with spices, and local cookies made with almonds and marzipan (Bethmännchen in German).

And if you want to bring a Christmas souvenir from Frankfurt home with you, then you should look for Quetschemännchen. Back in the day, young men would make these iconic figurines out of dried plums and nuts and then send them to a girl they liked. If the girl didn’t return the gift, then they knew that they had a chance with her.

10. Stuttgart, Germany

Germany is popular for the Christmas festivities that are hosted across the country. No part of the country however can compare to the festivities that are celebrated in the Black Forest region.

Stuttgart in particular is home to one of the biggest Christmas markets in Germany. With hundreds of little cabins the area is filled with all things Christmas related. Think of food, decorations, hot chocolate and even Christmas themed goods.

Plus it also has loads of activities for the children which includes a large Ferris wheel. Mind you, it does get chilly so wrap up well before you take your ride.

One of the reasons why Stuttgart is one of the best European Christmas destinations is because you can head to other towns with Christmas markets which are very very close by. I’m talking about a 20 minute drive kind of close. Ludwigsburg with its Baroque Christmas market is a popular favorite.

Plus if you are interested, there are a couple of short train journeys that can help you explore the surrounding areas. The entire area is magical and definitely worth the trip which is why it is one of the best European Christmas destinations out there!

11. Bremen, Germany

By: Anca of Dream, Book, and Travel

Christmas in the charming German town of Bremen.

A weekend in Bremen, the fairytale city in Northern Germany, is always a good idea, especially since you could easily take a quick day trip to other, amazing, German cities like Hamburg, Hannover, and Goettingen.

This is also particularly true during Christmas when Bremen comes alive with a festive, fairy tale atmosphere that is reminiscent of the famous Brother’s Grimm stories the originated here.One of Europe’s most magical Christmas Markets is also held here every December in the main square (a second Christmas market can also be found near the river Wesser). A beautiful place where you can say hello to the State Musicians statue, admire the stunning, gothic-style Town Hall (The Ratskeller in the basement of the town hall is also an excellent gourmet food venue that is home to the world’s most extensive collection of German wines) and marvel at the lovely Roland Statue (it represents free trade and has become a symbol of the city).

In fact, these two famous local landmarks are also designated, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and are surrounded by enchanting, medieval merchant houses as well as a local Cathedral.

Once you’re finished exploring the main square, take a walk through the old town and uncover other local, architectural treasures like Böttcherstraße (a medieval street that was restored in the 1900s to its former, expressionist style) and the Schnoor (a medieval neighborhood filled with narrow streets and unique charm). Along the way, you can also stop at some of Bremen’s fantastic, interactive museums, like the Übersee Museum and the Universum Science Center. If you want, you can even attend a concert in the Glocke, a venue with outstanding acoustics and lovely performances throughout the holiday season.

And since Bremen was a city of merchants and manufacturers, you’ll also find fantastic shopping opportunities here. So, whether you’re in search of chocolate, coffee, or beer, you’ll be able to find all this and more at local establishments like Beck’s Brewery, Lloyd Coffee, and Hachez Chocolate.

12. Nuremberg, Germany

By: Maria and Greg of Europe Up Close

The charming, holiday vives you get from the Nuremberg Christmas Market.

Nuremberg is one of the best places to spend Christmas in Europe. It is the second-largest city in Bavaria and is full of history and charm. And one of the biggest highlights of any visit here is the iconic Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt, one of the most famous Christmas Markets in Germany.

it comes with a long history and was first mentioned in 1628, Therefore, it is a great place to observe some immortal, German Christmas traditions like the Nürnberger Christkind – A Christmas Angel with Golden hair that brings children presents on Christmas Eve. Yes, that’s right. German children don’t wait for Santa Claus on Christmas morning but instead, get their presents from Christkind the night before.

Now, aside from the main Christmas Market, you should also check out the Handwerkermarkt along the old city walls. There are several tiny, medieval huts where you can stop and buy local handicrafts – items that would make perfect souvenirs.

If you have time, you can also enjoy lovely panoramic views of the city from a local castle or visit the old NAZI Rally Grounds and associated museum. Once here, you’ll get insight into how the NAZI Party rose to power before the outbreak of WWII through a collection of intriguing, permanent exhibits like, “Fascination and Terror”.

And if you get hungry after all this exploring, be sure to order delicious, local foods like 3 im Weckla (3 small Bratwurst sausages with a crunchy bread roll and mustard) and Nürnberger Lebkuchen, a large soft Gingerbread cookie with nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, and spices.

13. Fussen, Germany

By: Rachel of Celt and Kiwi

Neuschwanstein Castle surrounded by snow near Fussen, Germany.

Füssen is a quaint little town that sits tucked away at the end of Bavaria’s Romantic Road. It looks like something that has sprung up out of the pages of a storybook — a feeling that is only enhanced by the fact that Germany’s iconic, fairytale castle, Neuschwanstein, is a short, 5-minute drive away.

Visiting Füssen during the winter also allows you to experience one of the most iconic castles in Europe, but without the intense, summer crowds.

Yet, in spite of the area’s overwhelming popularity, you definitely won’t find any big, brand name stores here. Instead, you’ll discover a wealth of locally-owned stores that are beautifully stocked with regional goods.

Throughout the holiday season, Füssen also has its very own little Christmas Market in the monastery of St Mang courtyard. But, if you’ve already visited Munich and eaten your weight in käsespätzle (German cheesy pasta that is to die for), then we recommend grabbing some burgers at M34 Burger Bar.

However, this sleepy town does close up at around 6 pm nightly. So, if you can, try and stay in an enchanting alpine lodge with an expansive fireplace that you can curl up next to. And If you’re lucky, you’ll wake up to a blanket of snow on the ground, just like our one-year-old daughter did during her first visit to Neuschwanstein Castle.

And for the most magical views in the area, take a ride on the Tegelberg cablecar. Once at the top, you’ll find a small ski resort in Tegelbergto where you can hit the slopes or relax in the nearby Kristall Therme thermal baths in Schwangau. If you can, time your visit for sunset so that you can at marvel at Neuschwanstein Castle with the sun setting in the background.

The beautiful Christmas tree and expansive Christmas Market you’ll find in Innsbruck, Austria.

If you’re planning on spending Christmas in Europe, and Austria is on your list, then Innsbruck is a true must-see. See, while doing TEFL in Spain, I visited several of the best Christmas destinations in Europe. And this picturesque Austrian city took me by surprise with all that it had to offer.

You can start with the Swarovski crystal-adorned Christmas tree near the Golden Roof in the historic old town. Next, discover the wealth of colorful, medieval facades that proliferate throughout the area. And while you’re here, you also can’t miss the Old Town Christmas Market, where you can stop and try a mug of Glühwein (mulled wine) to help keep you warm.

Because believe it or not, Innsbruck actually has six different Christmas markets that begin popping up around mid-November. However, no trip to Innsbruck would be complete without a visit to the Panorama Christmas Market. Just take the Hungerburgbahn funicular railway up to Hungerburg Hill and enjoy breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains, as well as some delicious alpine treats.

Plus, this vintage tram is also decorated for the season and operates on Fridays and Saturdays between 3:30 pm and 7:00 pm from December 1 to December 23.

In addition to the tram, you can also explore some of the area’s most beautiful buildings, including Ambras Castle. St. James’ Cathedral, the Hofkirche, and the imperial palace. You can also go for a stroll along Maria-Theresien Strasse, and have a drink at one of the rooftop bars in the area.

Plus, if you love the great outdoors, you could hop across the border to Germany (it only about an hour’s drive away) and try visiting Zugspitze, the tallest mountain in Germany.

And if you’re looking for a place to stay, try the Marmota Hostel. I personally stayed here and would totally recommend it.

15. Salzburg, Austria

By: Alysa of Voyaging Herbivore

The historic city of Salzburg, Austria under a beautiful blanket of snow. You can easily see why it is one of the best European Christmas destinations.

Known as the birthplace of the iconic Christmas song “Silent Night”, it’s not hard to embrace the spirit of the holiday season in the fairy tale city of Salzburg.

Sure, you’ll find markets galore throughout the summer. However, your options only expand exponentially during the winter, since the 2020 Christmas Market in Salzburg features 90 different events that include everything from mangers to parades to brass concerts – musical extravaganzas that would leave no less than Mozart himself in total awe.

Salzburg is also an incredibly walkable city that is quite accessible to the rest of Europe via train and plane. That’s why, to truly make the most of your trip, be sure to download these must-have apps for traveling so that you are fully prepared for the busy Christmas season in Europe.

Trust me, having everything organized and in one place will be worth its weight in gold. Because as beautiful as the holiday season is, it can be challenging to try to use your cold fingers and your phone to navigate your way through Salzburg and back to your hotel. Especially after a few drinks in a brand new city.

There are many great places to spend Christmas in Europe. However, for those who prefer warm weather, Spain should be your number one destination since there is no better way to celebrate the holidays than with Christmas in Lanzarote!

See, the Canary Islands are home to one of the best climates in the world and make for a unique holiday destination at any time of year. All of the islands are also extremely different from one another and make for the perfect, weekend getaway.

17. Seville, Spain

By: Linn of Brainy Backpackers

Illuminated holiday decorations along San Francisco square in Seville, Spain.

Seville in southern Spain is one of the best places to spend Christmas in Europe. Day time temperatures are pleasant, though you should bring a jacket and a scarf. There are also a lot of cute Christmas markets just waiting to be explored both in and around the city center near the cathedral and Plaza Nueva. Many small stands here sell warm, grilled chestnuts, which make the perfect snack while you walk around the city.

Although, there are a lot of other activities that you can add to your Seville itinerary, besides Christmas markets. Because this enchanting city is home to some of the most significant structures in Andalusia, like the Alcazar, Giralda, and Seville Cathedral. Magnificent structures that sit within the heart of the city and that are just a short walk away from the Christmas Market. If you want, you can also visit the largest park in the city, which sits right by Plaza de España, one of the most famous landmarks in Seville.

However, if you want to celebrate Christmas like the Spanish traditionally do, then you’ll have to wait until January 6th. That’s when they celebrate Reyes or the day when the three kings brought gifts to the newborn baby Jesus. This is also the day when Spanish children receive their Christmas presents from the three kings and not Santa Claus.

This is also a day when the streets fill up with fun parades where the three kings throw sweets to children eagerly watching the festivities. That’s why this is a truly unique experience that you should definitely make space for if you plan to spend Christmas in Seville.

More of the Best European Christmas Destinations

18. Brussels, Belgium

By: Eden of Rock a Little Travel

The beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas lights you’ll find in the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium.

One of my favorite European Christmas destinations is Brussels, Belgium. Each year, the city hosts an annual Winter Wonders celebration that features an enchanting Christmas Market where visitors can eat, drink, and shop their way around the city

The event is held annually from late November through early January and includes carnival rides, a light/music show at the historic Grand Place, and an outdoor ice skating rink. The event also features over 200 chalets selling unique Christmas gifts, mulled wine, Belgian beer, and some of the best waffles in Brussels.

Besides the Christmas Market and Winter Wonders celebration, a festive mood spreads throughout the city that includes vibrant lights, exquisite decorations, and charming holiday music. Even the city’s famous Mannekin Pis statue is dressed up for the occasion and sports a Santa Claus costume complete with a white beard and red cap.

And if you’re a first time visitor to the city, then I highly recommend a stop at Delirium Cafe to sample some of Belgium’s most loved export, Belgian beer. They offer an impressive selection of over 2,000 draft and bottled beers from around the world. Therefore, finding something you like should not be a problem. Because even if you’re not a beer enthusiast, they also have a wide array of spirits and ciders on offer here as well.

Also, if you’re looking for a place to stay near all of the action, I highly recommend the Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place. It’s a moderately priced, upscale hotel that is just a stone’s throw away from all of the city’s major Christmas festivities and the Grand Place itself.

19. High Tatras, Slovakia

By: Jiayi of The Dairy of a Nomad

The beautiful, snow-covered, mountain landscape of the High Tatras in Slovakia.

One of the best European Christmas destinations are the High Tatras in Slovakia. This mountain range is situated at the border of southern Poland and northern Slovakia. It is also part of the longest mountain range in Europe, the Carpathian Mountains, and is the perfect place to enjoy stunning natural landscapes and charming, winter wonderland vibes.

One of the many reasons why the High Tatras is an incredibly dreamy destination is that very few people actually visit this place for Christmas, allowing you to savor this amazing mountain region in relative peace and quiet. In fact, almost all of the visitors to the High Tatras are from Slovakia, Poland, or Hungary. They come here to partake in a wealth of exciting activities like skiing, hiking, and relaxing in indoor, spa hotels.

In fact, some of the best hiking trails in the region are Kôprová Valley, Kriváň Peak, Mylnická-Furkotská Valleys, and Rysy Peak. However, there are also plenty of beautiful lakes in the area, including Štrbské Pleso and Popradské Pleso. Once here, you can marvel at gorgeous views of the nearby mountains, which sit behind the lake and make a truly unforgettable sight!

You can also stay at one of the many lovely Airbnbs in the towns of either Tatranska Lomnica or Stary Smokovec. And for slightly more upscale accommodations, consider a stay at the Grand Hotel Kempinski for incredible mountain views and luxury spa treatments!

20. Dublin, Ireland

By: Krystianna of Volumes and Voyages

The beautiful assortment of Christmas decorations that you’ll find outside of Dublin’s Temple Bar.

There is no better place to spend Christmas in Europe than Dublin! There are just so many fun holiday festivals held here, including a local Christmas market that is referred to as the Dublin Flea Market. There are also other, fantastic Christmas experiences in the area like the Dun Laoghaire Christmas Festival, the Christmas Market at Smithfield, and the Inreda Christmas Fair. Talk about options!

Ice skating is also a popular past time in Dublin during Christmas. That’s why there is no shortage of ice skating rinks that pop up throughout the city, like the popular Dundrum’s ice skating rink, as well as the rinks at Blanchardstown and Swords.

Still not convinced? Well, then you can also visit the Guinness Storehouse during Christmastime (feel free to get your skip-the-line tickets right now)! The best views of Dublin are from the Gravity Bar on the top floor.

And every December, the Dublin Zoo also hosts a Christmas event that is fun for all ages. A new and exciting theme is chosen every year and provides you with the perfect opportunity to hear stories and eat amazing food.

You can also grab some delicious food to help warm yourself up at either The Old Mill or Quay’s. Both restaurants are affordable and are conveniently located in the center of the city. Bison Bar & BBQ is also another great place to grab some dinner, while Queen of Tarts is probably the single best breakfast place in Dublin.

21. Abisko, Sweden

By: Andrea of Our Beautahful World

Andrea standing in front of the Northern Lights in Abisko, Sweden.

For a Christmas to remember, consider spending your holiday in the small town of Abisko, Sweden. Although this may be a place you’ve never heard of, it is actually one of the best places in the world for viewing the Northern Lights. This is because of the unique microclimate found within the town of Abisko and the fact that it is shielded from weather by the mountains in neighboring Norway.

Some other cold-weather activities that you can enjoy while in Abisko include viewing the Northern Lights, dogsledding, learning more about the local reindeer population, and skiing.

However, because this a small Swedish town, the hotel choices here are a bit limited. However, the neighboring town of Kiruna is home to the world-famous ICEHOTEL which would provide an incredibly unique (and incredibly cold!) hotel experience.

Now, if you plan to see the Northern Lights while you’re here, I would suggest spending several nights in Abisko so that you have plenty of opportunities to see them.

Additionally, consider joining a tour group, like Lights Over Lapland, to help you scout out the best Northern Lights viewing locations. Group leaders will also be on hand to give detailed instructions on how to best capture the beauty of the Northern Lights with your camera. Appropriate cold-weather gear is a must though since you are in the Arctic Circle and will be standing outside rather than actively hiking or skiing.

Yes, Abisko, Sweden is easily one of the best European Christmas destinations out there and you will never forget your special holiday spent under the aurora (You can also use this handy Norway travel guide to visit Sweden’s nearby neighbor).

Nestled atop a hill that is surrounded by vineyards, Riquewihr has a charming Old Town that is filled with cobblestone streets and stunning, rainbow-hued homes. That’s why this charming town is easily one of the most beautiful villages in France! So much so that Disney actually used Riquewihr as inspiration when designing the fairytale village featured in, “Beauty and the Beast”.

So, if you decide to visit Riquewihr for the holiday season, then you can enjoy a lovely little Christmas market that is located in place Fernand Reyer and that sits alone Esplanade des Remparts. You can also check out La Guinguette de Noël, a private Christmas market that is situated on a historic, winemaker’s property in the heart of Riquewihr.

Additionally, the main street of this French town will be brimming over with Christmas spirit since all of the homes in the area will be well-decorated, Christmas music will be playing in the background, and you’ll be able to sample traditional Alsatian food around every corner!

Some of my favorite places to stay in Riquewihr include:
• Best Western Hotel & SPA Le Schoenenbourg (2A Rue de la Piscine in Riquewihr).
• Le Chemin du Meunier (5 Chemin de la Daensch, Riquewihr, Riquewihr)
• Logis Hotel Le Parc & Spa (6 Rue Du Parc, Saint-Hippolyte, Ribeauville)

Some delicious restaurants you might want to try are:
• Au Relais de Riquewihr: a traditional Alsatian restaurant serving local food (6 Rue du Général de Gaulle in Riquewihr).
• La Grappe d’Or: great traditional Alsatian food in a charming restaurant (1 rue des Ecuries in Riquewihr).
• La Table du Gourmet – Restaurant Jean Luc BRENDEL: a gastronomic restaurant with one Michelin Star ( 5 Rue de la 1ère Armée in Riquewihr).

24. Strasbourg France

Situated at the side of the Rhine river, Strasbourg is scenic to say the least. It is the kind of city that you would expect on a Christmas card or postcard. Think of half timbered houses with Christmas decorations strategically placed. Plus it usually has a white Christmas if you are into that kind of thing which quite frankly most of us love!

Strasbourg is also famous for its Notre Dame Cathedral. A Gothic structure that is the landmark for locating the yearly Christmas markets.

Here you are bound to find all kinds of local delicacies and Christmas sweets. Plus like all Christmas markets in Europe, you will see stalls selling handicrafts and ornaments.

To add to the festivities, you will hear carolers singing and can even catch the nativity play should you be there at the right time. The kids love it! The adults have loads to occupy their time. It is a win-win situation all round and a perfect family friendly destination.

25. Rotterdam, The Netherlands

By: Zoe of Together in Transit

Snow falling on a windmill in beautiful Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Christmas in Europe is always a fun experience, which I recommend spending the festive holiday season in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Rotterdam has a large city center that is filled with every type of shop you can imagine, perfect for Christmas shopping or treating yourself to something extra special.

There are also a ton of special events that take place here, as well as in neighboring cities like Delft and Dordrecht (which is home to the largest Christmas market in the Netherlands). Special things to do in Rotterdam include shopping for antiques, doing a food tour of the Markthal, watching live theatre shows, and seeing the holiday lights get turned on in the city!

Although, my favorite place to go is Euromast Park, where a wintery ice rink is set up every year. It always has this cozy Christmas vibe about it since there is gluhwein, festive live music, and plenty of chairs with blankets for you to sit in.

If you can, try and stay at a modern high rise hotel, like Nhow Rotterdam, so that you can experience some of the many hidden gems in Rotterdam and enjoy beautiful skyline views of the city. This hotel is also well located, so you can easily visit every type of restaurant imaginable. However, as a delicious suggestion, try Diego’s for the best burger bar in the city!

And for a fabulous, fancy, 5 course Christmas dinner, book a table at the Euromast observation tower. Or, head to the Oude Haven for delicious drinks next to a roaring fire. Just be sure to make reservations well in advance so that you don’t miss out on all of this glorious, holiday cheer.

Alright, cool kids. That just about wraps up this wicked long post on 25 of the best European Christmas destinations out there!

So, tell me, how many of these next-level awesome places have you visited? And where do you think you might actually spend Christmas this year?

Is Europe worth visiting in winter?

Absolutely, yes!

Winter is one of my favorite times in Europe since it’s so magical!

Between the snow-capped mountains, the elegant cityscapes, and tons of adorable Christmas markets, winters in Europe have a special place in my heart.

And besides all that, there are usually less tourists during the winter months which means cheaper airfare, cheaper hotels, and less crowds overall!

Now, on a side note – any of these destinations will be amazing at any time of the year, but if you’re like me, and you’re looking for a magical winter wonderland type of vacation, then you have to read the rest of this list!

How do I travel light in winter?

Traveling light is so important to me and I wasn’t just going to give that up during winter time!

The most important things to keep in mind for winter travel are these:

Wear your heaviest items on board to prevent weighing down your carry on

Color coordinate everything so you can pack less – minimalist capsule wardrobe, anyone?

Take only a few high-quality, warm clothing items and really think before you pack something you don’t need

You deserve to travel more!

Travel planning is hard. But it doesn’t have to be. Get access to our free travel resource library to start crossing things off your bucket list!

IT ONLY TAKES 5 SECONDS!

The 13 Best Winter European Vacations

1) Prague, Czech Republic

Topping off the list for 2019 is Prague – a small city that more than holds it’s weight amongst other European capitals.

And for the perfect winter wonderland, Prague seems to have it all.

Not only are the hotels, food, and transportation cheaper than in other major cities, but the multiple Christmas markets and snow-capped architecture will leave you wondering why you didn’t visit Prague sooner!

Some of my favorite things to do in Prague include wondering around Prague castle drinking mulled-wine and climbing to the top of the old town bridge tower for sunset.

This year we’ll be visiting the Christmas markets in December for the first time and can’t wait to ~~stuff our faces with Christmas cookies~~ buy tons of little souvenirs 😛

2) Vienna, Austria

Vienna has to be on this list because of the elegant buildings, traditional Austrian Christmas markets, and the ability to see the opera while you’re there!

And while Vienna itself is reason enough to visit Austria, Hallstatt is only a short train ride away, making Austria a fairy-tale winter destination that you can’t ignore!

So bring out your best faux-fur coat, book a pair of opera tickets, and don’t forget to try the famous Viennese sachertorte during your trip!

3) PARIS, FRANCE

J’adore Paris!

Paris will always make the list if I’m in charge 😉

And while I really do adore autumn in the city of lights, the newly fallen snow transforms the streets of Paris into a sight of sheer beauty.

Imaging cuddling up in your hotel room staring out at the Champs-Élysées or the Arc de Triomphe while the snow is falling.

Pair that with a box of croissants and a few pieces of Christmas marzipan and it sounds like heaven to me!

4) Budapest, hungary

What could be more relaxing than soaking in Budapest’s famous Szechenyi Baths while it’s snowing out?

Pair that with less tourists during the winter months, cheaper rates overall, and some amazing Hungarian food, and it sounds like a great time!

And of course, there’s plenty of nightlife to keep you entertained.

Or if that’s not your style, you can always rent a pair of skates and go ice-skating on the frozen Városligeti Tó which converts to an ice rink during the winter months!

5) Bergen, Norway

Bergen will always have a special place in my heart.

We visited during winter a few years ago and didn’t know what to expect – but needless to say we were pleasantly surprised!

Bergen is a little warmer than the rest of Norway since it’s on the water, which makes it perfect for walking around and seeing the sights.

Since Norway is so high up in latitude, the days are quite short, but there is no shortage of restaurants in Bergen and plenty of things to do at night!

During the day you can take the funicular railway to the top of Mount Fløyen and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa while looking out over the city.

Or spend the afternoon eating your way through the fish market until it’s time to have dinner 😛

6) Zermatt, Switzerland

You’ve probably never heard of Zermatt, but I can promise you that this picturesque little town deserves a place on this list!

Not only is there no traffic here – since it’s a car-free zone, but skiers and snowboarders will love hitting the slopes here, as the town itself is located in the middle of the Alps.

Make Zermatt part of your winter bucketlist, or come back during any other time of year for amazing skiiing year-round!

7) venice, italy

Venice is such a great stop on any Italy trip, but the winter months in Italy make it particularly magical!

During this time of year you can take advantage of the better (cheaper) prices, since it’s the off season and there will be way less people flocking to the city.

And not only are there less crowds, but the wintertime brings a crisp feeling to the air and Italians are no strangers to Christmas-time celebrations!

Plus, Italy as a whole has a Mediterranean climate, which means that winters stay at around 40° F – perfect for walking around and drinking Italian wine!

8) sevilla, spain

I bet you didn’t know that Sevilla also has Christmas markets!

But they do, plus a bunch of rooftop bars to choose from, stunning architecture, and winters that stay at around 45-60° F on average!

So if snow isn’t really your thing, than Sevilla is the perfect place for you.

Pack a light jacket and leave some room in your luggage to take back some amazing Spanish wine, because Sevilla is a great place for your winter travel!

9) London, england

London in winter?

Maybe it doesn’t seem like the best spot for a winter vacation.

But imagine this – snow falling outside while you sit inside a cozy pub eating fish & chips, and a fireplace in the corner.

Doesn’t that sounds amazing?

Plus London has a vibrant nightlife, perfect for spending New Years’s Even in the city!

Iceland has gained popularity in the last few year and for good reason!

There are so many things to do in Reykjavik including seeing the beautiful Aurora Borealis, visiting some of the amazing thermal pools, or attending a few of the countless winter festivals!

Reykjavik also makes an excellent starting point for any Iceland road trip along the popular Ring Road!

11) lapland, finland

If you’re looking for a true winter wonderland, complete with igloos, log cabins, and even reindeer, than Lapland is where you need to be!

Book a trip around the area to explore the beautiful snowy trails through the forest – and choose from dog sledding, snowmobiling, or even a reindeer-drawn sleigh!

Plus when you get back to your cabin you can enjoy a relaxing sauna and a cozy fireplace to end the night!

Borovet is another winter playground that’s perfect – even on a budget!

Plus there are plenty of things to do besides winter sports like spa days, local thermal baths, and horseback riding!

13) Copenhagen, denmark

Copenhagen is one of our favorite cities because it’s completely walkable (or bike-able) and there are so many things to do!

One of which is the Tivoli Gardens – the second oldest amusement park in the world – originally built in 1843!

Just imagine walking around colorful Nyhavn with a cup of mulled wine, visiting the local Christmas markets, and the letting all your cares melt away in a relaxing sauna – sounds like a great way to spend the season!

Willing to experience a different Christmas Eve? Fairy lights, Christmas decorations, typical food and much more… Keep on reading and find out our Top 6 Christmas destinations in Europe to spend a magical Christmas Eve!

1.

United Kingdom
Christmas in London. Palace of Westminster

London’s Christmas season is just warming up. There are so many things to do in London at Christmas. Frosty park walks, hot toddies at festive markets, ice-skating with friends, fireside pub lunches, concerts, impressive light displays and spectacular West End shows. One of the biggest attractions at this time is Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. It is a spectacular creation of ice and snow with more than 500 sculptures, where, in addition, is the largest outdoor ice rink in the United Kingdom, a giant ferris wheel and different shows and Christmas markets.

But if shopping is your thing, London is also a perfect city. All the shops in the city are decorated for the occasion and open their doors so you can find gifts and ornaments, who would not like to visit Harrods or Covent Garden at this time with its special decoration?

The London people are the most Christmas, and therefore, two days after Halloween, they light the festive lighting of the city, and take the opportunity to welcome this time of year, with a great ceremony full of musical performances.

2. Spain

Christmas in Spain. Larios street (Málaga)

Christmas in Spain is quite a treat. Bright Christmas lights elaborate nativity scenes, lovely almond sweets, and time-honored traditions – all wrapped in a festive atmosphere. This is how they celebrate Christmas in Spain, a time full of family gatherings, joy, and peculiar local customs – most of them utterly enchanting, others pretty unusual, but all memorable and deeply rooted in the Spanish culture.

3. Hungary

Christmas in Hungary. Stephen’s Basilica of Budapest

Although it is a fantastic city to visit in spring and summer, the freezing winter and the numerous flea markets that come up before Christmas eve, Christmas decorations, projections on its cathedral, typical food, winter clothes and many more… make Budapest a perfect destination for these dates. On a walk for its streets full of Christmas lights, you can also discover impressive places, such as the Heroes’ Square, Fisherman’s Bastion, Buda Castle and the Central Market, ideal to feel like a Hungarian.

Last, but very important: spend a relax time enjoying thermal baths. Budapest is known as the city of spas, since it has 118 springs (natural or artificial) so an outdoor bath in hot water with the city hovering around 0º is a unique experience that you should not miss. The Széchenyi Spa is one of the best known and also offers the possibility of giving you a relaxing massage. A perfect experience for a relaxing day that can culminate, at night, in a romantic cruise on the Danube.

4.Czech Republic

Christmas in Prague. Old Town Square (Prague)

If you decide to spend your Christmas holidays in Prague, rest assured you’ll be awe-struck by the sheer beauty of the Czech capital. Some of local traditions and things locals actually do in Prague are:
Visit Christmas markets, see the animals at the Prague Zoo, get warm in cozy cafés, go skiing nearby, explore some of the great museums and galleries, just stroll around and admire the beauty.

5.France

Christmas in France. Arc de Triumphe (Paris)

Paris is a very complete city to visit at Christmas. It has everything: shows, flea markets, shops … But one of its hallmarks are the lights that are found in the key points of the city, and that are lit on November 18. Among these you can not miss those located in the avenue of the Champs Elysees, in the Place de Vendôme.

Another of the most common activities at this time is ice skating. In Paris there are many options to practice this sport, from the skating rink of the Champs Elysees to the track of the Plaza de Hotel-de-Ville (town hall). To go shopping, in addition to walking through the mythical avenues of Paris, we find many Christmas markets: in Montparnasse, in Saint Germain des Prés, in La Défense or in the omnipresent Elísesos Fields.

And, of course, if you travel as a family, it is an ideal occasion to go to Disneyland Paris and so that the little ones also enjoy unforgettable Christmas. In addition, during the months of November and especially December, Paris is filled with children’s activities as merry-go-rounds in which the youngest of the house can enjoy. It is the ideal city to spend these dates as a family.

6. Italy

Christmas in Italy. Piazza della rotonda (Rome)

Italy celebrates Christmas and the winter holidays with special events and festivals. Italy’s winter holiday season generally starts with the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, a national holiday, and runs through Epiphany, the 12th day of Christmas, on January 6.

In Rome at Christmas there is a fantastic lighting. you can be delighted with a luminous display that makes the city look completely different. At the da Vinci Airport or at the Termini station you can see an impressive decoration, but it is even better in the historical center, where some of the mythical spaces of the city such as the Plaza del Popolo, or the Plaza de España, or Even the Coliseum, they also welcome Christmas in this way.

And for art lovers, two recommendations. The first, visit the Roman churches, especially the Piazza di Spagna, as they are filled with nativity scenes with great detail. And, the second, enjoy the concert of classical music outdoors that occurs on Christmas Eve in the Plazza del Quirinale.

Resorts in the South of Russia: top of the best resorts

Resorts in the South of Russia vary greatly not only in terms of tourist destinations, but also in terms of infrastructure, together with prices. There are quite expensive resorts, for example, Sochi, and there are quite inexpensive options. At the same time, the selection of a resort is very important, because it is not always worth overpaying. To save money, you can choose a resort on the Azov coast. But it should be borne in mind that this resort area has a family direction. For recreational trips, it is better to choose the vicinity of Sochi or the Crimea.

Among the resorts of the south of Russia there are not only beach centers, but also ski centers. At the same time, some resorts have mixed tourist opportunities, as well as all-season. One of the main features of the resorts is the presence of sanatorium-treatment zones almost everywhere, which work during the peak season and after it. This applies to the Krasnodar resorts, and to the Crimean ones.

A big plus is the good climate, which allows you to travel even in late autumn. What else should be noted is that in most resort areas the infrastructure works even in the off-season. This is due to the fact that tourists and vacationers come here even after the end of the summer season. Most resorts are developing more and more every year, which leads to a constant flow of tourists.

Where to fly for New Year and Christmas? Best travel destinations for winter holidays

New Year always comes unexpectedly. You remember about it all the time, suddenly hesitated for a month … and now it’s mid-December, and the issue becomes acute.

We always advise you to book tours for the New Year and Christmas holidays (both Catholic and Orthodox) in advance. As soon as everyone starts worrying about where to celebrate, demand will rise, tour prices will start to rise, and there will be fewer places in good hotels. You can’t really count on last-minute tours for the New Year holidays, a very popular product is travel for the New Year and Christmas.

Where can I celebrate New Year and Christmas and how much will it cost? We are considering package tours with air (or bus transfer), transfers, insurance and services.

Egypt
Not a single Ukrainian New Year is complete without tours to Egypt. December is not the coldest month, but already with winds and cool nights. Therefore, it is best to choose hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh in calm bays. If you buy a tour to Hurghada in December, swimming is in question, the weather is cooler here. But in any case, you will bring a beautiful tan and rest from the winter.

In hotels in Egypt, the New Year for tourists is organized on a grand scale, with New Year’s dinners and a festive program (sometimes they are necessarily included in the tour price, sometimes they are paid upon request when booking). Starting prices for tours to Egypt for the New Year at the time of publication – from $ 250 1 / dbl for “all inclusive” in a 4 * hotel for 8 days of rest.
In recommended 4* and 5* hotels (which received high ratings and reviews from tourists) – from 303 $ 1/dbl.

Emirates
New Year in the Emirates will be completely snowless and very bright, in Dubai it is celebrated on a grand scale, with the famous fireworks at the Burj Khalifa and one of the best visual shows in the world. The weather in the Emirates in December and January is very comfortable for relaxing. Making a New Year’s wish with a cocktail in your hand while sitting in a restaurant near the beach is not an idea for a celebration!

Most often New Year in the UAE is celebrated in clubs, restaurants or on the territory of the hotel. Please note that alcohol in the Emirates can not be consumed everywhere, and you should definitely not abuse the attention of representatives of the law in public places.

As for snow in the Emirates, you can still find it, for example, in the indoor ski resort of Dubai, Ski Dubai, located in the Mall of the Emirates. They are always happy to offer guests a portion of snowy adrenaline, there are high-quality slopes for skiing, and for the New Year, Ski Dubai will certainly prepare themed events.

The cost of a New Year’s holiday in a city hotel in Dubai for 8 days on a tour – from $ 589 1/dbl with breakfast. A package tour to a UAE hotel with a private beach on the 1st line – from $ 686 1 / dbl for breakfast.

Excursion Europe
Shining with the lights of Christmas decorations, luring with colorful noisy fairs, nativity scenes and delicious cupcakes – stollen and panettone. When choosing a sightseeing tour to Europe for the New Year, pay attention – these are bus tours or air tours to European countries. The former will be cheaper, the latter will allow you to get to your dream country faster and more comfortably. On a sightseeing tour with an air flight, you can also see several countries – upon arrival, tourists transfer to comfortable buses with a guide, and an exciting journey along the route begins with accommodation in hotels for the night.

The cost of bus tours to Europe – from 178 euros per week on a tour for one tourist, during this time you can see 4 countries!

The price of New Year or Christmas air tours to Turkey (Istanbul), France, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Latvia, the Czech Republic or Germany ranges from 375 to 945 euros for one tourist, depending on the country and quantity days. The duration of such tours can be 5, 7, 10-12 days, flights, accommodation, meals “breakfasts”, basic excursions, transfers and guide accompaniment along the route are included.

European City Hotel Packages
If you trust yourself more than tour guides and are ready to explore new cities on your own, there are many options to consider!
New Year’s Prague, Budapest, Paris, Vienna or Istanbul. Each of these cities has a unique flavor and will leave vivid impressions. Whether there will be fireworks on your photos over the Charles Bridge or a panorama of the Bosphorus and the Galata Tower, according to what recipe will coffee be prepared for you in a cozy coffee shop – in Viennese or Turkish, and what will be served for dessert – marzipan, croissant, pretzel or baklava – it’s up to you!

Cost of European tours
– Prague for New Year and Christmas:
rest in a city hotel 3 * for Catholic Christmas – from 343 euros per 1 guest, for New Year – 406 euros for 1 guest, for Orthodox Christmas – from 380 euro 1/dbl (for all tours breakfast at the hotel is included).
– Budapest: Catholic Christmas – from 252 euros 1 / dbl for a week of rest, New Year – – 374 euros 1 / dbl, Orthodox Christmas – 310 euros 1 / dbl (for all tours breakfast at the hotel is included).
– Istanbul: New Year – 287 euros 1/dbl, Orthodox Christmas – 248 euros 1/dbl for a week of rest in a city hotel with the breakfast type of food.
– Vienna: Catholic Christmas – 3* hotel from 538 euro 1/dbl, New Year – 695 euro 1/dbl (4* hotel with breakfast), Orthodox Christmas – 557 euro 1/dbl.
– Christmas Paris – from 447 euros 1 / dbl, Paris for the New Year – from 463 euros 1 / dbl for accommodation with breakfast in a city hotel near the famous Galeries Lafayette.

Non-standard idea: instead of Paris for Catholic Christmas or New Year, you can visit Strasbourg. Not everyone knows, but it is the city of Strasbourg that bears the title of capital of Christmas. Fairs and skating rinks are already open, there are a lot of tourists for the winter holidays, and there is something to see here from the end of November. There are no direct flights to Strasbourg from Kyiv yet, you can get there by domestic flights from Paris or Frankfurt, or by train.

An excursion tour from Kyiv to Strasbourg for the New Year costs 699 euros per person for 8 days. The group arrives in Milan and then moves to Strasbourg by bus.

An important detail about winter holidays in Europe, which does not spoil the holiday, but must be taken into account. On holidays in Europe, shops, shopping centers and services often do not work. It can be difficult to buy ordinary, non-fair items or products, fix something, or order, keep this in mind just in case.

Finland
Visiting Santa Claus (aka Santa or Joulupukki) for the New Year – it’s hard to come up with something more classic. Therefore, not the capital of Finland, Helsinki, but the region of Rovaniemi (Lapland) is especially popular for the winter holidays. The most famous cities in Lapland to visit are the resort of Levi, Saariselkä and Porvoo. New Year and Christmas in Finland is admiring the northern nature (in Lapland you can see the northern lights!), cozy evenings in a cottage, SPA-rest, sledding, snowmobiling and skiing, visiting deer farms and fulfilling a cherished dream for children – a visit to the residence of Joulupukki.
Sightseeing air tour in Levi (Lapland) – from 899-995 euros per person for 6-8 days.
Package tours to Levi hotels on New Year’s dates – from 1103 euros 1 / dbl for a week of rest in a 4 * hotel, Rovaniemi hotels – from 1555 euros 1 / dbl.
The same tours to Lapland, but a little later, in the first ten days of January, can be purchased at a better price – from 790 euros per person.

Cyprus
New Year in Cyprus can be described in three words – soulful, sunny and orange. Holidays are celebrated here in a big way. There is no Father Frost or St. Nicholas in Cyprus, instead, St. Basil congratulates the Cypriots, they begin to prepare for the holidays in November.
In December, the temperature in Cyprus stays at +17+18 during the day, +13+15 at night. Not enough for swimming, and the water is invigorating, but still the trip will not disappoint. If you know how to drive a car, renting a car in Cyprus will reveal to you all its secrets and secluded corners, the island attracts with its wild rocky beauty. National parks, vineyards, antiquities, villages with crafts, heady air, excellent cuisine and wines – even wine tours are organized in Cyprus, the traditions of growing grapes and making wine are rich here. The atmosphere of a holiday in Cyprus can be compared with Georgian, if you understand what we mean. He captivates with his sincerity and sincerity, here you rest your soul. The hotel for the New Year will be fun, delicious, with European service, and you can swim in the indoor heated pool.
The cost of a New Year’s holiday in hotels in Cyprus (price start):
City hotel in Larnaca, the city of your arrival – from 299 euros 1/dbl.
Hotel in the center of the resort of Ayia Napa – from 325 euros 1 / dbl for 8 days on the tour.

Asia, exotic resorts and islands:
Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Goa, Zanzibar, Maldives

In December, the beaches of most countries in Europe and North Africa are not ready to receive tourists. But the resorts of Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean are ready to do this.

But if at the beginning of the month you can visit many of them relatively cheaply, then towards the end of December the cost of tours is growing rapidly due to the approaching holidays: Catholic Christmas and New Year. Plus, in many directions in late November and early December, the season is just beginning, and therefore the demand for vouchers is not so great.

Below you will find several destinations where to go to relax in December at the sea.

1. Egypt

The beginning of winter is not the best time for a beach holiday in Egypt. The temperature of air and water in December in Dahab, Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada rarely reaches +23°C, in Alexandria – no more than +20°C. Getting out of the water while swimming is not very comfortable. Strong winds are possible throughout the country.

But Egypt has its advantages in December:

at this time it is not hot here;

you can relax inexpensively, as the cost of tours is reduced to a minimum;

is the closest destination to European countries, where it is relatively warm and you can swim in the middle of winter.

Another important plus of a trip to Egypt at the beginning of winter is the opportunity to get acquainted with the local culture, history, way of life and see the sights without languishing from the heat. Pyramids, mosques, temples, desert, ancient cities – there are plenty of iconic places for educational excursions.

2. United Arab Emirates

But the United Arab Emirates will be an excellent destination where you can relax on the sea in December under quite favorable weather conditions. The temperature of air and water reaches +24°C. The most suitable resorts for a beach holiday are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah.

Among the must-see sights, we highlight the Burj Khalifa skyscraper and mosques. Also, if you wish, you can go to the local ski resort Ski Dubai.

In December, the UAE celebrates the National Day of the country. And if you visit the country towards the end of the month, you can catch the celebration of the New Year, which takes place here on a special scale. Also during this period, grandiose sales are held in shopping centers, which will especially please shoppers.

3. Thailand

The southern part of Thailand, as well as the islands of Phuket and Koh Samui are the best places for a beach holiday in December. There is no rain, air and water temperatures reach a comfortable +29°C. People come here for the stunning nature, pearly white beaches and the azure sea.

You can diversify your time on the beach with excursions to Buddhist shrines and temples, trips to national parks.

In early December, Thailand celebrates Constitution Day. In honor of this, festivities are organized in the country: parades, processions, fireworks.

4. Mexico

When choosing a place to go to the sea in December, consider buying a tour to Mexico. This country is perfect for a beach holiday. You can swim almost everywhere, with the exception of resorts located near the US border, as it is much colder there than in other regions of Mexico.

Air and water temperatures average +26°C, rainfall is minimal. The most popular resorts in the country in December are Acapulco, Velacruz, Cancun, Riviera Maya.

While in Mexico, you should not only enjoy the magnificent natural landscapes, sandy beaches and the azure sea, but also get to know the culture and history of the country. Ancient cities and monuments of extinct Mayan and Aztec civilizations, temples, an underwater museum, natural canyons, blue lagoons – this is not a complete list of local attractions.

5. Maldives

The Maldives is generally a good destination for a December vacation. But at the beginning of winter, the weather here is changeable. You can swim and sunbathe, as the air and water temperature is kept at +30°C. However, in December, precipitation is very likely in the Maldives, which can somewhat spoil the impressions of a beach holiday.

You can stop at any atoll or island in the country. And if you get tired of admiring the stunning nature, sunbathing on snow-white sandy beaches and swimming in the crystal clear sea, you can go on a tour of Muslim shrines.

6. Dominican Republic

If you can’t decide where it is better to relax in December on the sea, choose the Dominican Republic. During the month, the weather here is warm without precipitation: air and water warm up to +28°C. You can stay at most resorts in the country, including Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, San Cristobal, La Romana and others.

The Dominican Republic will delight you with stunning natural landscapes, white sandy beaches, azure sea, and an abundance of beach activities. You can diversify your vacation with excursions to the statue of Christ, the Columbus lighthouse, the Cathedral of Santo Domingo, as well as a trip through the canyon “Devil’s Throat”.

Toward the end of the month in the Dominican Republic, festivities in honor of the New Year holidays begin.

7. Sri Lanka

A real heavenly vacation awaits tourists in Sri Lanka. As in most tropical resorts, the rains end here, warm and pleasant weather sets in. The air temperature in the daytime reaches +30°C, the waters of the Indian Ocean are warmed up to +28°C.

You can diversify your beach holiday by surfing, diving, fishing, yoga. Extreme lovers can go rafting on the river or go on a safari. Tourists can also make an excursion to tea plantations and national parks.

Excursion tourism

At the end of December, Europe celebrates Catholic Christmas. Preparation for this holiday begins at the end of November. Houses, offices, streets, hotels, various establishments – all this is richly decorated with New Year’s lights. A festive Christmas tree is set up on the squares and souvenirs are being sold. Also during this period, grandiose Christmas sales begin.

8. Turkey

In December, swimming in Turkish resorts will no longer be possible (with the exception of indoor heated pools in hotels), as even in the southern regions of the country it becomes quite cool. But tourists have the opportunity to enjoy sightseeing and skiing holidays.

Must visit Istanbul with its mosques, ancient temples, fortresses and other attractions. Daytime air temperature in the country’s largest city is between +10°C and +15°C.

And Turkey is one of those destinations where residents of many post-Soviet countries can go on vacation in December without a visa.

9. Hungary

In Hungary, in December, the spirit of European Christmas is already felt with its festive fairs and sales. The capital of the country, Budapest, is also interesting from a tourist point of view: the Parliament building, impressive temples and cathedrals, coffee houses and pastry shops – this is not the whole list of places worth visiting. The air temperature here ranges from 0°C to +10°C, precipitation is possible.

Budapest is also famous for its thermal springs. Tourists can go on a medical tour to the Szechenyi baths, which is not far from the capital. There are several indoor pools with water of different temperatures up to +80°C.

10. Belgium

Traveling around Belgium on Christmas Eve will let you plunge into a real fairy tale. During this period, large-scale fairs and celebrations take place on the streets of cities. In addition, the country is rich in sights and, despite its relatively modest size, has a large number of cities with beautiful architecture. Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent – this is just a small part of the must-see places.

In December, the temperature is mostly above zero, but precipitation occurs regularly. An umbrella and waterproof shoes will not be superfluous in your suitcase.

11. France

France also prepares for Christmas in December. Despite this, there are few tourists here in the first half of the month. This means that you can see the sights of Paris and other cities of the country in a relaxed atmosphere. The daily air temperature in the capital during this period is around +7°C.

During the first week of December, the French city of Lyon celebrates the Festival of Lights, also known as the Festival of Lights. All townspeople light candles and put them on the windows, and light shows take place on the streets.

The Louvre also hosts the Dolce Vita chocolate festival, which is attended by manufacturers from all over the world.

12.

Austria

When choosing a suitable place to go on holiday abroad in December, we recommend that you pay attention to Austria. This month, the Christmas atmosphere reigns: the streets of most cities are decorated on the eve of the holiday.

Despite not the most comfortable weather for sightseeing, the country will captivate tourists with its ancient cities with beautiful architecture and paved streets. Don’t forget to visit Vienna on New Year’s Eve: traditional Christmas markets are held on the Town Hall Square, attracting travelers from different countries year after year.

Austria is also suitable for lovers of ski holidays. In December, at the foot of the Alps, the best resorts of the country operate – Sölden, Innsbruck, Obertauen, Saalbach-Hinterglemm and others.

13. Czech Republic

Prague is another European capital that is preparing to celebrate Christmas in December. Tourists expect a festive atmosphere and Christmas markets. Locals often complain that they have to celebrate the New Year holidays without snow. But this is good for tourists, since the dry pavement and plus air temperature up to + 8 ° C are excellent for walking.

The Czech capital is rich in sights. Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square, Old Town Hall, clock tower, various museums – this is not a complete list.

Ski resorts

December is high season in most European ski resorts. Therefore, finding a suitable place to relax is not difficult. Austria, France, the countries of Scandinavia, Bulgaria, Turkey – these are just a small part of the places where you can go abroad in December to go skiing and snowboarding. Let’s add a few more to this list.

14. Andorra

Tiny Andorra does not even have its own international airport. But this does not prevent her from being one of the most popular destinations among tourists who want to find a suitable place where to go on vacation in December to ski resorts.

The reason for the large influx of skiers and skaters is quite understandable: the cost of recreation here is lower than in other European resorts. At the same time, the infrastructure and quality of service are comparable.

Among the most popular ski resorts in Andorra, let’s single out Pas de la Casa, Arisal, Soldeu, Encamp, Andorra la Vella.

15. Norway

Luxurious Norway is not a cheap destination, especially if you go there on the eve of the Catholic Christmas and New Year. At the same time, the country remains one of the most favorite destinations for skiers, where many of them aspire to go on vacation in December.

Voss and Geilo are the most popular skiing destinations. You can enjoy snowboarding in Hemsedall.

In December, numerous festivals and fairs take place in Norway, which dilute extreme ski activities. You definitely won’t be bored!

16. Switzerland

At the start of winter, skiers and snowboarders are ready to welcome Switzerland. You won’t be able to relax here cheaply, but tourists have the opportunity to enjoy the descent along the reference snow slopes of the Alps and stunning nature. The most popular ski resorts in the country are Zermatt, Davos, Verbier, as well as resorts located in the vicinity of Bern.

17. Georgia

The beauty of Georgia is that it is one of the countries where residents of many post-Soviet regions can have a holiday in December without a visa. The second advantage of the direction is the excellent value for money. Here you will be able to relax inexpensively, enjoying quite good trails, developed infrastructure and a high level of service.

Starting from the second half of the month, well-known ski resorts Gudauri, Bakuriani, Goderdzi are ready to receive tourists. Most of the tracks in these resorts are intended for amateurs. But professionals will not be bored here either.

Where to go on vacation in December with children

From the end of December to mid-January, schoolchildren have holidays, it is important for children to recuperate after a productive study. For tourists with preschool children, the first month of winter will be a good time for a vacation, as preparations for the Catholic Christmas and New Year begin in many countries at this time.

Turkey, Egypt, UAE, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic, Austria and other European countries where Christmas events take place are among the family holiday destinations mentioned above. We will supplement this list with a couple more places where it is better to relax in December abroad with a child.

18. Vietnam

A trip to Vietnam should be planned only if the children are ready for a long flight. In general, the country is ready to welcome tourists, including the smallest ones. The air temperature reaches +33°C, the sea warms up to +27°C.

In December it is better to relax in the southern part of Vietnam: Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Phan Thiet, Vung Tau are perfect for this purpose. Amusements and play areas are provided for children, adults, in addition to relaxing on the beach, can go snorkeling and diving.

Vietnam has a rich excursion program. Tourists can explore temples, ancient fortresses and see other sights of the region.

19. Germany

In Germany, like nowhere else in December, you can feel the Christmas atmosphere: streets, houses, shops are decorated with lights, fairs are held, all on the eve of the holiday. But children will most of all remember a trip to Europa-park, the largest amusement park in the country.

By the beginning of winter, a special program appears here: a Christmas market opens with gingerbread, souvenirs, chants. A skating rink, a children’s ski school, an abundance of attractions – thanks to all this, a trip to Europa-park will be remembered by a child for a long time.

Please note that the amusement park is closed on Christmas Day, 24 and 25 December. Also, water attractions are not available throughout the month.

20. Finland

Beyond the Arctic Circle in cold Lapland are the domains of Santa Claus.

Family vacations to Lanzarote – Family Traveller (USA)

Family vacations to Lanzarote – Family Traveller (USA)

Lanzarote’s just 125km off the southwest coast of Africa and the most surprising Canary Islands.

For a start it’s a UNESCO protected biosphere and, outside the capital Arrecife, mostly just big beaches, wild volcanic landscape, little towns, eco-resorts, organic faming and viticulture. Sounds a little too sedate for a family holiday?

Not at all. The easternmost Canary’s a world surfing capital, cycling legend, home to stunning art and architecture and one of the most spectacular natural playgrounds in Europe.

Why go on holiday to Lanzarote

Direct flights

Cheap, direct flights from the UK to Lanzarote year round take just over four hours.

Endless spring temperatures

Known as the ‘island of endless spring’, temperatures range between 24˚C in January to 35˚C in July and August.

Beaches

The island has both golden sand and black lava beaches.

Volcanos

Lanzarote’s Montañas del Fuego volcanos are dramatic but, unlike Tenerife’s Mount Teide, they don’t create afternoon cloud cover.

Timanfaya National Park

The vast lunar landscape of Timanfaya National Park is almost entirely unchanged since the last volcano erupted here in the early 19^th

Rich history

Lanzarote was home to Spanish architect and artist César Manrique whose conservation efforts in the 1970s and 80s contributed to the island’s current standing as a protected UNESCO biosphere.

Surfing

The island’s west coast is fantastic for year round surfing and has some of Europe’s best kids’ surf camps and schools.

Where to go and stay in Lanzarote

Arrecife

Arrecife has the distinction of being the only place in Lanzarote where buildings are taller than palm trees – it was built before César Manrique’s successful, late 20^th century campaign for vernacular, low-rise architecture. But it’s still a charming island capital with a long, elegant seafront, interesting restaurants, designer shops and several historic monuments and museums.

Home to the island’s main airport and a busy cruise port, Arrecife’s good for nightlife and water sports on big, golden Playa del Reducto.

Visit for: Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo, La Recova Market, Playa del Reducto and del Cable and Charco de San Ginés lagoon.

Puerto del Carmen

This is the Lanzarote resort that could make you doubt the island’s biosphere credentials. It’s relentlessly touristy, very busy in summer and the first choice for party loving teens and twenty somethings. That said, the beaches are fantastic and the town’s packed with lively, fun activities for older kids. It’s also the area for good value package holidays, all-inclusive family hotels and larger holiday villages.

Six kilometres of golden, sandy beaches are the main attraction in Puerto del Carmen. Playa Grand’s great for younger kids and Playa Chica’s the best on Lanzarote for water sports.

The resort’s busy bars, clubs and tourist restaurants are mainly in and around Las Playas Avenue and Varadero. The historic town harbour’s charming for seafood restaurants and tapas bars.

Playa Blanca

The southernmost tip of Lanzarote was once only the preserve of more adventurous visitors heading to famous Papagaya or for the ferry to Fuertaventura. Today it’s one of the prettiest resorts on the island and perfect if you want gorgeous beaches, good restaurants and easy access to the dramatic west coast and charming mountain towns and villages.

Four and five star beachfront resort hotels and a several holiday developments with family self catering villas and apartments.

The main resort beach Playa Blanca is blue flag.

Stunning, isolated and paradise Papagaya Beach is a short drive from Playa Blanca.

Costa Teguise

Lanzarote’s third largest resort was purpose built in the 1970s under the guidance of Cèsar Manrique. It’s lively and family orientated with the island’s only waterpark and five beaches.

Wide choice of places to stay from budget apartments to large holiday villas and three, four and five star resort hotels.

The resort’s main beach, Playa Cucharas, has the best windsurfing conditions on Lanzarote.

Secluded Playa Ancia and Playa Jabillo are good for swimming and Playa Bastian is famous for year-round, sheltered sunbathing.

Teguise, the ancient capital of Lanzarote, is 15 minutes drive from the resort. This lovely, historic town with its elegant architecture and cobbled streets is well known for its huge Sunday morning market.

Costa Teguise is 15 minutes drive north of Arrecife and the least sheltered of the island’s resorts: refreshing in summer but not the best choice for winter sun holidays.

Haria

Said to be the island’s loveliest village, Haria is 30 minutes drive inland south east of Arrecife. Sitting in the Valley of 1000 Palms against the backdrop of Lanzarote’s highest mountain range, Risco de Famara, it’s famous for lush green gardens, traditional architecture and breathtaking walking and cycling routes.

Dino Water Park Lanzarote | InfoVacay

Lanzarote is one of the most popular islands of the Canaries in terms of tourism and tourist attractions. However, the best thing about Lanzarote is the variety of water parks you can find everywhere.

These parks make this destination a family-friendly place. So, if you are thinking of visiting the Canaries with your family, you have made just the right decision. And today, we are going to review a very famous park in the region known as Dino Water Park Lanzarote.

Dino Water park in Lanzarote is located in the Paradise Island Hotel. The entrance is free for those staying at the hotel; however, the park is open to all. If you are thinking of visiting this park on your vacation, you have come to the right place.

In this article, I will talk about Dino Water Park Lanzarote, the ticket prices to reach there, and opening and closing times. We will also find out during which months it is open and the different attractions there.
So, let us get started with this guide without wasting any further time.

Dino Water Park

Without a doubt, one of the most fun-filled and adventurous attractions on the Island of Lanzarote is the Dino Water Park. It is beautiful, incredibly fun, visually bright and vibrant, and has all the makings of a perfect family-oriented water park.

The Dino Water Park is filled with many amazing rides and cool slides that you will want to ride along with massive pools of excellent water that will be perfect for all the family to play in.

It is located in Playa Blanca within the bounds of the Paradise Island Hotel and is owned by them as well. As residents of the hotel, you can go there without requiring a pass and have a great time with your family.

The Dino Water Park is very popular among the tourists and the locals, and if you are in Lanzarote, you should think of visiting and having a splash with your loved ones.

Dino Water Park Ticket Prices

Dino Water Park is a part of the facilities of Paradise Island Hotel, which is why residents who are staying at the hotels owned by the company are allowed free access to the park where they can have a fantastic time.
But many people think that this water park is not open to the public. That is not the case. Dino Water Park is open to the public all year without a doubt, but there is a cost to the ticket.

The price for an adult’s admission in the Dino Water Park is €20, whereas, for a child under the age of around 12 years, the entrance is just a mere €14. There are refreshments available within the premises of the park. Unfortunately, you cannot bring food in from the outside.

If you compare the prices to the overall entertainment and fun factor along with the rides available in other water parks in Lanzarote, Dino Water Park is right up there with the best of the best. So, ideally, you are going to want to go there.

Dino Water Park Lanzarote Opening and Closing Times

One of the best things about Dino Water Park is that it is not closed any time of the year. Compared to Dino Water Park, other parks like Aquapark get closed down in the wintertime.

Read about the aquapark here: Aquapark Costa Teguise, Lanzarote

That does not mean that winter is still the ideal time to visit the park. The water is quite cold in the winters, but if you are not affected by super cold water, you can go and have a great time in Lanzarote.

The ideal time to visit the Dino Water Park Lanzarote is summer because of the warm climate and the perfect temperature of the water. The whole Island vibe also feels fantastic.

Must read: Which Canary Island Is the Hottest?

In the summer months, the Dino Water Park is open from 10 am to 6 pm every single day. Therefore, the span of the Dino Water Park Lanzarote is actually more prominent than in winter.

The Dino Water Park is open for a lesser period every day in the wintertime. The water park is available between 11 am and 5 pm, so make sure you visit in due time. Whenever you visit, you will have a great time, that is one thing I am confident about.

Dino Water Park Lanzarote Attractions

So, what does Dino Water Park offer to Lanzarote locals and tourists having a great vacation in the Canaries? What unique attractions, rides, slides, and places does the Dino Water Park have? Let us look at some of the major ones and see how well they will suit you and your loved ones.

Attractions for Adults

Adults seem to have a different taste for theme parks and water parks than children. However, you can explore a few cool places for entertainment and excitement. Let us check out some of the better ones in Dino Water Park.

Food and Refreshment Stalls

The food and refreshment stalls in the Dino Water Park Lanzarote are pretty great and have a lot of variety in the food, and the taste is fantastic. So, you are going to enjoy eating and drinking there.

Did you know this: Can You Drink Tap Water in the Canary Islands?

Twisting Waterslides

The twisting waterslides are among the best epic slides in water parks around the Canary Islands. The twisting slides are designed to offer maximum pace while sliding and allow multiple people to slide down into the water simultaneously. You will have a great time sliding around with your friends to see who hits the water first.

Kamikaze Toboggan

As fierce as the name sounds, the Kamikaze Toboggan is pretty incredible of a slide. It is strictly for adults and has a very tall height and a great pace. If you end up going on it, make sure you take the proper posture while sliding to gain maximum speed and make a big splash when you fall into the water. You are going to have a blast.

Rides for Children

Children are going to have a fantastic time in Dino Water Park. It has a lot to offer for children of younger ages not to feel left out. One of the main things is the Dino theme, and the best-suited area for them is the Splash area, where there are a couple of really cool rides and slides to check out. Let us take a look at them.

Mini slides

The mini slides made especially for children are great. They are safe, pack a punch, and look cool as well. So if you have got children with you, they will not feel left out if you take them to the mini slides because they will have a great time.

Splash Bucket

The Splash area is mainly known for the splash water bucket zone. This is a unique place in the water park because most children love to get splashed by the water inside the bucket.

So, ultimately, a lot in the park will make your children happy and enjoy themselves.

If you are traveling with children, check out these safety (and training) swimming equipment for children: Swimming Training Equipment

What do People have to say about Dino Water Park Lanzarote?

To give you a bit of insight on how tourists and locals have liked Dino Water Park, I have taken a few mixed reviews about what visitors found good and bad about the place. So, let us check out some of the reviews regarding Dino Water Park and talk about them in detail.

One of the visitors went to the park with their family and had a pretty decent experience. According to them, the food was good, and the prices of the tickets were pretty great as well, considering there are complimentary unlimited soft drinks with them.

Another visitor said that the staff was not very lenient about the minimum height requirements for the more giant slides, which could not be considered a con since it is basic protocol, but that is not what the visitor has to say about the park.

The majority of visitors claim that they have never seen a better water park in the Canary Islands and the whole vibe and aesthetic of the Dino Water Park Lanzarote is cool and island-styled. So, the mass experience is tremendous, and judging by that, you should think of having a great time with your loved ones and friends.

Conclusion

Dino Water Park is one of the best tourist locations and fun theme parks in the Canary Islands. If you are visiting Lanzarote or anywhere near Playa Blanca, you should take a day out of your schedule and have a fun time in the water park.

I hope you learned a lot from this guide and that you will have a fantastic time in the Canary Islands. So, start packing your bags and get your family, friends, and loved ones ready because it is going to be a wild, adventurous, and full-filled vacation that you are going to love!

What to do on holiday in Lanzarote?

Fans of active pastime on vacation will undoubtedly enjoy a huge selection of all kinds of entertainment on the island of Lanzarote. There are several diving schools, hippodromes, golf clubs and even a hang gliding center.

All the most possible types of entertainment are available for vacationers here, from traditional diving and hiking through picturesque natural places, to parachuting and trips to some uninhabited islands.

Those tourists who come to rest with children should definitely visit the town of Puerto Calero, because there is the largest amusement park on this island called “Texas Ranch”.

Covering an area of over 50,000 square meters, there are rides for thrill-seekers as well as playgrounds with carousels for the youngest visitors.

The island also has the largest lava cave in the world, Cueva de los Verdes. A trip to this unique cave, which is a natural attraction, is sure to please the whole family.

The beaches of Lanzarote are distinguished by the fact that they are of volcanic origin and are covered with sand of various shades. If in the southern part of the island there are mainly beaches with white sand, then in other parts of the coast the color of the sand can be red and sometimes even black.

Undoubtedly, a very exciting adventure, and for the whole family there will be a trip to some local winery. The fact is that the grapes on this island are grown in volcanic sands, so it has a truly unique taste. These juicy berries, grown in unusual conditions, then fully convey their taste and aroma to the drink.

Therefore, if you buy some local wine, it will be a wonderful gift for your relatives and friends. Also, when you walk around the local markets and souvenir shops, you will be able to see a lot of interesting lava crafts, which are considered popular souvenirs on the island.

If you want to gamble at the casino, head to Puerto del Carmen and try your luck at the Gran Casino de Lanzarote. This is an incredibly chic establishment where all visitors sit at tables, play roulette or try their luck on gaming slots. It also hosts very remarkable and vibrant performances for all guests.

But you just need to remember that in order to enter the casino, you must have a passport with you. A fan of interesting shows will undoubtedly appreciate them in another institution, which is called the Music Hall Tavern and is located in the same place on the territory of the Puerto del Carmen resort.

If you wish, you can also visit the Starlight Openair Cinema, the distinctive feature of which is that it is located on the roof of the building. But it certainly gives the movie a kind of charm and gives you an unforgettable experience.

Bowling enthusiasts will certainly be interested in visiting Cesars Bowling, while karting fans should head to Gran Karting for a thrilling experience.

In the capital of the island of Lanzarote – the city of Arrecife, you should visit the entertainment center “Parque Tematico”, where both adults and children can spend their free time.

Timanfaya National Park Lanzarote

El Timanfaya National Park It is located on the island of Lanzarote. This natural park stands out for its volcanic origin, so it is a sparsely populated area, which, nevertheless, has become a place of great biological value, home to species that have adapted to this environment.

Today this park is one of the most touristic and visited areas of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Without a doubt, its volcanic landscape is unique and you can enjoy outdoor activities in the park. We will get to know its origin and features, as well as how to enjoy this national park.

Index

1 Origin of the volcanic zone

2 How Timanfaya National Park was created

3 Practical information

4 Fire Mountains – Ilario Island

5 Volcano Route

6 Camel Ditch

Origin of Volcanic Zone

El On September 1, 1730 eruptions began. volcanic, which could give rise to this geological zone of great interest. From that year to 1736, a series of eruptions took place, which led to the appearance of geomorphological structures of great interest for the study of volcanoes. There are more than 25 volcanoes in this large area, spanning over 50 kilometers, although the last activity that took place in the area was in 1824.

How the Timanfaya National Park was created

El the great geological and natural value of the area In accordance with the decree of 1974, it was declared a national park. The regional administration has started a protectionist policy towards this area to prevent its exploitation and control access to its territories so that it becomes a place for the study and conservation of the environment. To this end, the Natural Spaces Act of the Canary Islands was drafted, which provides a legal framework for the protection of these areas. Lanzarote was also declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993 year.

Practical information

Space is open every day from 9:00 to 17:45. hours, last visit at 17:00. In summer, an hour more, until 18:45. The tariff must be consulted as there may be changes in prices. The important thing is that you cannot pay by card normally, so it is better to have cash with you.

As a piece of advice, we should say that it is better to go to the park in the morning first thing in the morning, because from ten o’clock it starts to get very hot, and this can be harmful for children or the elderly. It is always better to choose the first or last hours.

There is no accommodation in this national park, so if we want to spend more than one day, we must look for it in nearby towns such as Yaiza. The park has a restaurant, El Diablo, which is worth a visit, although there are no designated picnic areas. East restaurant is located on Islot Ilario and it is a very interesting place. It is a circular space with large windows so that visitors can enjoy incredible panoramic views of the park from different angles.

When visiting the park, you also need to know some rules, although they are quite logical. You cannot move to places that are not marked. Vehicles must be parked in permitted areas. Animals may not be disturbed they may not be taken out of the park, and other species of animals or plants may not be introduced. You cannot make model aircraft or fly kites in the area. Also, you can not hunt, make fire or engage in street trading. We know that in any natural space, we must respect everything we find so that it is kept in the best conditions.

It is also not recommended to walk alone in the park. There are several conditional routes so that tourists can walk. But you should always wear suitable clothing and shoes, and bring a hat and water to hydrate, as there is nowhere to hide.

Fire Mountains – Ilario Island

The most interesting phenomena can be seen in the Cultural and Tourist Center of the Fire Mountains. Inland is the island of Ilota de Hilario, where you can see 9 geysers0218, geothermal anomalies that cause the earth to eject boiling water under high pressure. Without a doubt, this is one of the best attractions for tourists.

Volcano Route

It is at Islote de Hilario that the route leading to the Volcano Route by bus starts, which is called the bus there. They are 14 km conditioned through the main area from where the eruptions originated. This walk around the neighborhood lasts half an hour.

Camel ditch

If you go to the park be sure you will want to try this mode of transport so unusual. It has become one of the most typical sights of the island. You need to go early, as there are many tourists who want to walk through the volcanic environment on such an exotic animal. Thanks to all these features, this park is one of the most visited in all of Spain.

Iberostar Lanzarote Park Hotel (Lanzarote, Canary Islands (Spain))

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

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

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

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

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

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

Arrecife

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

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

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

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

Fire Mountains, Timanfaya

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

Jameos del Agua

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

Cactus garden

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

Weather in Greece by months and climate in Greece

Greece is located in South-Eastern Europe. This country has many islands in the Ionian and Aegean seas. The result of this mix can be considered a variety of local climate patterns and factors that determine the weather in general.

Climate in Greece

There are three most common climates in Greece: Mediterranean, Central European and Alpine. The Mediterranean climate in Greece has spread to Crete, Athens and the Kikland Islands. Thanks to him, winters are mild and wet, and summers are dry and hot. Alpine climate is typical for Western and Central Greece, Peloponnese and Western Macedonia. The Central European climate prevails in Thrace, Eastern and Central Macedonia.

Winter weather in Greece

Winter weather in Greece is relatively cool. During this period, it rains and thunders thunder. In general, in winter in the northern part of the country, the temperature at night drops to +1º C., during the day the thermometer does not rise above +8-10º C. In the south of the country at this time +6º C at night, maximum 12-14º C in the daytime. In general, the weather in Greece in winter is not able to scare our tourists, it rather resembles our spring weather without strong winds. The mildest winter is on the islands of the Aegean Sea and Crete.

Weather in Greece in spring

In March, the weather is characterized by an increase in temperature. On average, the thermometer is close to + 20-22º C., but the water still continues to warm up – its temperature is only + 17º C. Rains in March are rare and end very quickly. The weather in Greece in the spring begins to improve in April, and therefore everyone begins to prepare for a beach holiday. During this period, the average air temperature is +25º C., and the water warms up to +19º C .. Toward the middle of the month, temperatures increase markedly, which is why many tourists tend to Greek resorts by the third week of April. In May, the air warms up to + 28º C, and the water – to the optimum + 20º C. The weather in May is excellent, occasionally it can rain for a short time.

Weather in Greece in summer

In June, Greece is really warm and good. Although June is not the hottest month of the year, the average air temperature very rarely drops below +30º C. The close location of the sea softens the hot climate, and therefore the weather in Greece in summer is quite acceptable for relaxation. The water warms up to + 25-27º C. In July and August, Greece can already be called a hot country.

Spain nudism: Page not found – Naked Wanderings

☝ Nudity Laws in Spain

Let’s start by answering the question: no, nudity is not legal in Barcelona. You cannot, legally, go walking naked around the city without getting a fine of between 300 and 500 euros.

It is also considered punishable going shirtless around the city in certain areas with fines between 120 and 300 euros.

However, there are a variety of local beaches where you can go nude and enjoy the sun. In this article of ShBarcelona we will walk you through nudity in Barcelona.

Table of Contents

Where can you go naked on the beach?

Depending on the beaches you have gone to, you might have been caught completely off guard by seeing a person arrive, place their towel on the sand, start stripping and not stopping until there wasn’t any piece of clothing left on their body.

If you have come across this, it means you were at a beach where nudity is legal. It is very common to see women go topless in any of the beaches in the city but full nudity is reserved for a certain number of beaches.

Nudists who don’t want to have to leave the city to bare it all can simply go to the Marbella beach, located in the neighborhood of Poblenou. This beach is located next to the Bogatell beach, which is not for nudists.

Find a monthly rental in Barcelona

There is no large separation between the two beaches, which doesn’t seem to make the nudists shy. Plenty of people who are not nudists also choose the Marbella beach for their day in the sun, including families, which just serves to show how natural nudity is in Barcelona.

You can also head to Playa San Sebastian at the end southern end of Barceloneta near Hotel W. Although it´s not officially a ¨nudist beach¨, it has a nudist area where going bare is completely fine. The area has great food and drink options nearby and is a popular spot for surfers.

Nudist beaches in Costa Brava

If you feel like strutting around the beach in your birthday suit but don’t feel too comfortable doing so in the city, afraid to run into someone you know, we suggest that you head on to Costa Brava.

Not only do some of their beaches allow nudity but they are also some of the most beautiful in Catalonia. Examples of nudist beaches in Costa Brava are Platja del Castell, Cala Nanas, Cala Estreta, and Platja Illa Roja.

Why nudity laws in Spain are necessary

When nudism was legal in Barcelona, some people would go as far as walking their dogs in the middle of the Gothic neighborhood without wearing a single item of clothing. And while some might consider this normal, others felt offended, which they also had the right to be.

It is understandable that the city wanted to appease the situation, particularly due to the fact that Barcelona is a very touristic city, visited by many people who don’t come from such liberal locations.

Photo via Pixabay

There is also the question of public health, as naked people were free to go to any establishment and use public transportation, where many people use the same chairs or seats.

In what regards the prohibition of people walking around without a t-shirt or in see-through clothes, the law served as a way to help people develop a sense of decorum, especially those who used to go into restaurants and stores showing way too much skin.

There were also those who practiced this in public transportation, forcing others to have to get uncomfortably close to other people’s naked and often sweaty skin while commuting to work.

Related article: Nudist Beaches in Costa Brava

The nudists’ point of view

The people who practice nudism defend that the fact that people can be fined by walking around naked is very serious and it is a violation of people’s right to freely express their bodies.

They believe the nudism is a natural way to exist in communion with our surroundings and our own bodies.

Websites for nudists – going topless in Barcelona

There are several websites that offer comprehensive information on all sorts of activities and places to practice nudism comfortably.

They practice sports such as jogging, horseback riding, speed biking, volleyball, they do cultural activities (exhibitions, theater play, screenings, workshops, conferences), and, of course, social activities, such as gatherings, trips, going on vacation together, kayaking, demonstrations, etc. , all within a framework of defending the nudity in our society and, in particular, Catalonia.

Some of the examples of websites for nudists are Club Català de Naturisme, Naturismo.org, and El Fonoll.

Despite the law on nudism in public spaces, which is opposed by some, Barcelona remains a very open-minded city, very liberal and welcoming to people of all races, beliefs, sexual orientations and any other personal preferences.

The popular tourist city of Cadiz in Spain will now allow nudism on all its beaches. The City Council is aiming to allow nudism across the city’s coastline.

Ismael Rodrigo, president of the Spanish Naturist Federation, welcomed the announcement from Cadiz.

The organisation had campaigned for the change and said banning nudism was illegal in Spain.

They said that nudism is recognised as freedom of expression by the European Court of Human Rights.

However, not all the residents in Cadiz were as happy about the change in beach etiquette.

Ester Canero, president of the Cadiz Association of Large Families, said: “Of course, we live in a free country.

“Very free, as we can see. But there are things I do not support and cannot agree with.”

Some people believe that nudism is not respectable in areas where children are around such as beaches.

Other residents complained that the Council was too focused on issues like nudist rather than other problems such as a lack of parking.

Alicante is the most popular region in Spain for British expats

Topless sunbathing is pretty common in Spain although nudists are advised to stick to designated areas.

Some beaches have areas reserved for nudists and these will usually be clearly signposted.

The Balearic Islands and Canary Islands both have naturist beaches and there are several in the Costa del Sol.

However, tourists should care not to break any rules about public nudity once they are off the beach.

Spain’s top tourist destinations (Image: Express)

It’s frowned upon for men to walk around shirtless in many areas of Spain and tourists can even be fined for doing so away from the beach.

Topless Britons in public areas away from beaches, promenades and swimming pools in Alicante can be fined £627.

Tourists can also face fines for being topless in areas away from the beach on the island of Majorca.

British tourists are advised to check the local rules and restrictions in their Spanish holiday destination.

Best Nudist Beaches in Menorca

Where are the best nudist beaches found in Menorca?

Menorca Nudist beaches are not designated but these beaches are popular with naturists; Cala Pilar, Cala Calderer, Cala Presili or Capifort, Cala Rambles or Sa Torreta, Es Grau and Cala Mesquida.

The beautiful island of Menorca, located in the Balearics and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, is the ideal place for a holiday with your partner or friends.

It is also popular with naturist bathing even though there are no designated beaches to nudist/naturist on the island.

Having said that, enjoying the wonderful climate and spectacular nature is made easier by beaches that can be found on the island, where naturists do go.

Nudism is becoming a habit in Spain because of people loving the spiritual connection that gives us the environment.

The complete guide to nudism and naturists

If you are new or just a little inquisitive about naturism, check out ‘The Complete Guide To Nudism’

All explain for an absolute beginner and the do’s and don’ts and what to expect. This is a general guide that can be used for many locations worldwide where nudism and naturism are allowed.

Popular Menorca beaches for Naturist bathing and swimming

On Menorca, you will find several nude beaches where you can relax and completely unwind during your holiday. These beaches, usually somewhat away from those where you find more mass tourism, give you the opportunity to relax away from all the crowds where you don’t have to worry about anything.

Here are some of the favoured nudist beaches in Menorca:

Cala Pilar

Cala Pilar On the north shore of the island of Menorca, you find this bay, northeast of the old capital of Ciutadella. It has a very quiet beach which makes it great for relaxing.

However, it is not recommended to visit this beach with children or older people due to their inaccessibility to them. Cala Pilar is a small beach, perfect for naturists who want to miss the weird looks.

What you have to take into account is that no facilities are offered on this beach. So do not forget to bring your own food, drinks and possibly a parasol.

Nevertheless, this is the perfect place to enjoy the wonderful waters. Cala Pilar is a protected area making it a wonderful place for snorkelling and diving.

Cala Calderer

Cala Calderer, is just like Cala Pilar, you will not find many people here who visit this bay, which ensures total peace. This is mainly due to the difficult access to this beach and around a 5.2 km walk.

The Cala Calderer beach is located directly north of Ferreries and is considered a quiet area due to its proximity to the rocks and flora. The clear water and fine sand form a landscape worth visiting when visiting Menorca.

On this beach, you can relax in the sun and forget everything around you.

Cala Mesquida

Just 4 km north of Mahon, we find Cala Mesquida, a wide sandy beach with fine grains of sand rinsed clean by the waters of Menorca.

This bay is easy to reach due to the good access road. This landscape is perfect for escaping from the daily routine by being carried away in the tranquillity of nature.

On this beach, you will find various facilities such as the rental of hammocks, umbrellas and there is first aid available. For these reasons, this beach is increasingly visited, but it remains a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery.

Cala Presili or Capifort

The Cala Presili beach does not look like the other beaches in the north of Menorca, because it has white and fine sand while in the northern part of the island the bays have reddish tones.

The area where you will find this bay is a nature reserve, so people who visit this bay are very environmentally friendly and have respect for the landscape.

To get here you need to head for the Favàritx lighthouse on the PM-715 road. Just before you get to the lighthouse, there is a small parking area and gate to the Nature Reserve. Park up and follow the path.

If you go in the summer, don’t forget to bring your own water and possibly a parasol. Nevertheless, this area is definitely worth a visit because you can snorkel beautifully and relax and rest in the sun.

Cala Rambles or Sa Torreta

The Cala Rambles beach is located above Mahón in Parc Natural de s’Albufera des Grau, an area of great beauty. Cala Rambles is an untouched and protected beach where you will find the peace you are looking for if you want to enjoy a well-deserved holiday.

Due to the difficult accessibility, it is not a much-visited beach, even in August. If you want to visit this beach, you do not have to worry about large crowds that disturb the peace.

Since this beach is quite secluded, it does not have any facilities, so don’t forget to bring your own stuff to use during your visit to this bay surrounded by nature and wildlife. You can enjoy both the surrounding mountains and the sea here.

This area is located in the Albufera d’es Grau nature reserve.

The best nudist beaches in Malaga

Reading time: 7 minutes

Although nudism in Spain in general is not yet as popular as in many other Nordic countries, nevertheless, we already have 8 fantastic nudist beaches in the province of Malaga, which we are going to present to you below.

We have also included a beach that technically belongs to our neighbouring province Granada, but due to its proximity to Nerja, we would also like to mention it.

Enjoy with us this stroll along the best nudist beaches in Malaga!

Table of Contents

Nudist Beaches on the Eastern Costa del Sol

There are a few nudist beaches on the Eastern Costa del Sol, let’s get to know them:

Cala del Pino and Las Alberquillas, Nerja

These two beaches situated next to each other are unspoilt beaches located on the easternmost tip of the province of Malaga. The surroundings of Nerja are characterised by cliffs and small coves with a special charm. Some of these coves still conserve their unaltered natural beauty because they are more difficult to access, as is the case with these two beaches.

Access is on foot via a fairly steep descent, something to bear in mind if you want to go with children or if you are heavily laden. We also recommend good footwear. Las Alberquillas is the longer beach, while Cala del Pino is a more intimate cove. In both we can enjoy crystal clear waters due to the rock formations that make them ideal for snorkelling. The two beaches are separated by detached rocks and you can easily pass from one to the other.

There is no lifeguard service or showers on these beaches.

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/nS2MerwUnGS7HBLm6

Cantarriján, Granada

Just 5 kilometres from Cala del Pino is the beach of Cantarriján, located within the Maro Cerro Gordo Natural Park. The surroundings are spectacular due to the fact that the foothills of the Sierra Almijara and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges reach down to the sea.

There is abundant pine vegetation in a protected environment. Due to this, and the great popularity of this beach, during the peak months it is not possible to access the beach directly by car. You have to park on the road and from there a free shuttle leaves every half hour to the beach, which is 1. 5 kilometres away. You can also walk down to the beach, bearing in mind that it is a steep path that you then have to climb back up.

The beach itself is typically Granadian, i.e. there is no more sand but stones. Although this may seem to be a great disadvantage for comfort, this characteristic nevertheless provides us with wonderful clear waters and a rich marine fauna, ideal for snorkelling.

Cantarriján is divided into a textile beach and a nudist beach, which is more hidden at the end and, in fact, there is even an area without stones and the occasional tree.
The textile part of the beach is also home to a very popular and very charming Chiringuito (beach bar) where you can have a drink or a meal.

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/GCKaVs9KHSx6qwCA7

Almayate, Vélez-Málaga

Continuing our walk along the naturist beaches on the east coast of Malaga, we come to Almayate, where we can still get an idea of what the coast of Malaga was like before the massive construction.

This beach is already sandy, although dark, has no promenade and few services and therefore remains a quiet and isolated beach surrounded by nature. Nevertheless, it is very popular with naturists and there is even a naturist campsite in the area, Almanat.

Nudist Beaches on the Western Costa del Sol

Find nudist beaches on the Western Costa del Sol:

Guadalmar Beach, Malaga

Guadalmar beach belongs to the metropolitan area of Malaga. Its proximity to Malaga airport does not make it stand out for being a quiet beach, as planes fly over it at a short distance.

On this beach we can already appreciate very well what was the natural environment of Malaga before the massive construction. It is a long and wide sandy beach situated next to the mouth of the Guadalhorce river and the golf course.

The beach is mixed, there is a part where nudism is practised and another part is textile. As the coastal path passes close by, it is not exactly a secluded and quiet beach for nudists, I personally cannot recommend it, but of course we include it!

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/ULb2CPYUwGnnodxP6

Benalnatura, Benalmádena

Unique beach for many reasons that I list below and my favourite naturist beach in Malaga. It is a beautiful small cove more typical of Nerja than of Malaga, as it is surrounded and protected by cliffs and rock formations. The beach is a blend of stone pebbles and sand.

The beach is very well looked after by a nudist association, there are showers and a beach bar. This beach was one of the first nudist areas on the Spanish coast and I have the honour of being the friend of an octogenarian man who goes there every day of the year to bathe and who was the precursor of nudism in the area in the seventies, when the Civil Guard still came when he was taking his trousers down.

Due to this family atmosphere, the beautiful natural environment and many details that remind us a bit of an Ibizan beach bar, this nudist beach is very popular all year round. Access is by stairs.

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/9gHLJQ6hdg6YZFZG8

Playa de Playamarina, Mijas

This naturist beach in Mijas is of fairly recent existence. It is situated next to the N-340 road and a bus stop, so it has no visual protection whatsoever. There is a beach bar on the beach (which can be seen from the bus stop) and due to its easy access, the beach is also frequented by other elements who do not exactly come to practice nudism.

The beach itself is rocky and access to the water is almost impossible without shoes, as there are also many sea urchins. Ideal for snorkelling.

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/BDm5dgr5ogvXQKJGA

Playa de Cabopino, Marbella

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful naturist beaches in Malaga, it is located in the protected natural area of the Artola dunes, one of the few remaining dunes in the province of Malaga. Due to its spectacular beauty and proximity to Marbella, it is very popular in summer.

This long beach of golden sand has a textile part and a naturist part which is not so clearly respected by textile bathers. Due to its length and the services available, it is not a quiet beach and you may have to put up with a few stares from people who do not share nudism. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to get to know this beautiful beach, the natural surroundings or the nearby Puerto de Cabopino for a drink afterwards.

How to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/yFi3Tm25zyasuWKw8

Playa de Costa Natura, Estepona

The last official nudist beach in the province of Malaga is located in Estepona, next to the naturist resort Costa Natura, which was the first official naturist resort in Spain.

The nudist beach itself is a narrow strip of stone and dark sand about 400 metres long, with no toilets or showers. It is not one of the most beautiful beaches, but it is quiet and secluded, with a high number of foreign visitors.

Nudasis from Model.

Main idea:

Unity of man with nature;

Improvement of the body.

Naturism is a way of life, it promotes the culture of the naked body. Naked people are engaged in dancing, outdoor sports. At the beginning of the century, the progressive part of the youth of Europe joined the nudists.

Soon the modern trend gained numerous fans in Europe, USA, Canada, Germany, Spain. National associations have been created in each country. A person who adopts a naturist philosophy is in the permitted places in the nude, but his goal is not to attract the attention of people.

Spain is one of the most popular European countries for nudist holidays.

Rested on the Els Muntanyans nude beach in Spain. Its length is 4100 m. The fertile corner is located in Catalonia. Nature is unique, tiny houses nestled near the sea. I will come back here next year.

Have you ever wanted to play tennis or football completely naked? Or take a walk in the woods in what the mother gave birth?

Many Germans adore naturism, believing that it helps to live in harmony with nature. In any large park in Berlin, you run the risk of running into the bodies of nude sunbathers. Where did this longing to let the breeze blow freely around your naked body come from?

After living in Berlin for four years, I was imbued with the German spirit and adopted the local approach to nudity as something ordinary.

This was not the case in the US Midwest, where I grew up. For the American, nudity is primarily sexual in nature. But in Germany it is quite common to strip naked in everyday life – at least in some situations.

I started to get used to saunas, where by default everyone completely gets rid of clothes, I no longer bother when everyone swims naked in the pool. And I once surprised a local massage therapist when I unhesitatingly stripped naked before a session (to which he remarked that Americans usually have to be begged to take off all their clothes).

How the Germans came up with a word that conveys longing for travel

But, as they say, you will never forget the moment when I first encountered nudity in public. It happened to me while jogging in Hasenheide Park, in the Neukölln district of Berlin, when I suddenly saw a cluster of naked bodies on the grass under the bright midday sun.

Later, from conversations with friends and googling the history of the issue, I discovered that for Berlin what I encountered was quite a common occurrence, which for me, meanwhile, became a kind of rite of passage.

The End of the Story Podcast

What I saw had nothing to do with any specific Berliner hedonism, but was just an example of Freikörperkultur , a German movement whose name can be translated as “free body culture” or “nudity culture”.

Freikörperkultur, or FKK, promotes naturism as a philosophy and way of life, through which people get closer to nature – through healthy eating, exercise and… refraining from clothing.

Although FKK is often associated with life in the socialist GDR, naturism in Germany as a social phenomenon became widespread at the end of the 19th century and has nothing to do with sexuality.

Naturism, nudism is not just taking off the upper part of a bathing suit somewhere on a beach in Spain, it is a broad movement aimed at understanding nature and one’s own naked body, which at different times became both a challenge to society and a kind of liberation.

“Nudism has a long tradition in Germany,” says Arnd Bauerkemper, assistant professor of modern history at the Free University of Berlin. At the end of XIX – beginning of XX century. philosophy came into fashion Lebensreform (“life reform”), which spawned a social movement that promoted a return to nature, natural food, alternative medicine, vegetarianism, a raw food diet, and sexual liberation.

Nudism has a long tradition in Germany

“Nudism was part of this broader movement against the industrial society of the late 19th century,” says Bauerkemper .

According to Hanno Hochmuth, a historian at the Center for Contemporary History Studies in Potsdam, the reform movement was especially popular in large cities, including Berlin, despite its romanticization of rural life.

During the period of the Weimar Republic (1918-1929), the beaches of the FKK, which used to be visited by a “very small minority” of citizens who wanted to sunbathe, grew and spread throughout the country.

As Bauerkemper says, behind this was “a sense of new freedom gained after the departure of an authoritarian society and the rejection of the suffocating conservative values of imperial Germany.”

Childhood in Nazi Germany. What the Germans say about it

To promote outdoor naturist exercise for both sexes, in 1926 Alfred Koch founded the Berlin School of Nudism, which emphasized harmony with nature and health benefits.

And although the Nazis, having come to power, initially banned the FKK, seeing something immoral in it, by 19In 1942, Hochmuth explains, the Third Reich relaxed its bans on public nudity.

Signs announcing naturism zones in Germany can be found on many beaches, parks and campsites color – especially in the East, and public exposure was no longer a bourgeois occupation.

For Germans living in the socialist GDR, where travel abroad and other personal freedoms were severely restricted, where there was a shortage of consumer goods, FKK became a kind of outlet, a “safety valve”, in Bauerkemper’s words, a way to relieve the stress that comes from life in a totalitarian society where many things are forbidden. In general, a sip of freedom.

Hochmuth, who grew up in East Germany and visited nude beaches with his parents as a child, says it was a kind of escapism.

“East Germans have always had to obey the demands of the Communist Party – go to party meetings, work for free on subbotniks.” And at first, the rebels had to sunbathe in the nude, with an eye on the police – is the patrol approaching?

But in 1971, with the coming to power of Erich Honecker, FKK was officially allowed. As Bauerkemper says, under Honecker, the GDR began to gradually make changes in domestic and foreign policy – primarily in order to look more attractive in the eyes of the West.

The GDR authorities could now say: look, we even encourage nudism, we are a free society.

In 2019, the German Association for Free Body Culture had just over 30,000 registered members, many of whom are in their 50s or 60s

After After East Germany united with West Germany in 1990, and the restrictions and prohibitions of communist society sunk into oblivion, the FKK movement began to gradually decline.

Why did Germans stop loving nudism?

Whereas in the 1970s and 80s hundreds of thousands of nudists filled beaches, campsites and parks, in 2019 the German Association for Free Body Culture had just over 30,000 registered members, many of whom are in their 50s or even 60s.

Nevertheless, the FKK continues to influence German culture today, especially in the former GDR. From time to time, his adherents make headlines, like that naked man in a Berlin park who was forced to chase a wild boar that stole his laptop bag.

But seriously, the FKK culture and the long German tradition of nudism have helped to create a tolerant attitude in the country towards the desire of some people to get naked in nature for the purpose of recovery.

As I discovered in my time, FKK zones are quite easy to find, and they are often associated with health activities. The classifieds site Nacktbaden. de has a long list of beaches and parks throughout Germany where you can sunbathe naked, saunas and naturist spas, not to mention special naturist trails in the Harz mountains, the Bavarian Alps or the forests of Saxony-Anhalt.

And if you’re looking for a more formal FKK experience, head to Berlin’s Adolf Koch Sports Club FSV for nudist yoga, nudist volleyball, badminton and table tennis.

A healthy attitude towards one’s own body has grown out of the German tradition of nudism these days

The FKK heritage is one of the values that unites many East Germans. For Silva Sternkopf, who grew up in the GDR and frequented FKK beaches, the nudity culture both reflected and instilled certain values that Silva tries to pass on to her children. This is, first of all, the ability to accept your body as it is, without being embarrassed by it.

From Sternkopf’s point of view, when we perceive naked bodies without sexual overtones, it helps us to see each other’s individuality, not obsessing over appearance.

“When you’re used to the sight of naked people, you care less about making a good impression with your appearance,” she points out. “I think this is more common in East Germany: we try to judge a person not by how he looks, but by what he has inside.

A global map of countries where you can sunbathe naked or topless has been compiled – Visicom API

An interesting map for tourists has been compiled by experts from Pour Moi swimwear brand – they presented a map where tourists can do without their products on the beach.

The map is designed to help nudists find countries with nudist beaches, or at least beaches where you can sunbathe topless.

This is reported by Visicom Cartography News, citing a source.

Information is not provided for all countries, but most of the popular resort countries are included in the list. Countries are divided into three categories – “red”, where topless sunbathing is strictly not recommended, up to the risk of going to jail; “orange”, where it is generally not accepted, but if you wish, you can find places, and “green”, where nudist beaches are a normal occurrence.

As the brand experts found out, 38 countries were in the “red” zone – these are countries where public nudity of any kind, even non-offensive topless public sunbathing, is completely unacceptable or illegal. Interestingly, Russia, as well as Belarus, were included in this list. At the same time, official and not very nudist beaches on the territory of our country are quite common. Although topless sunbathing on a public beach will obviously not cause understanding. Also, much of Asia is “painted” red, which means public nudity is illegal. Only in Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, you can hardly find nudist beaches.

There are 39 Green countries in

, they are, according to the definition of experts, “quite relaxed” and have a number of places that sunbathe “without anything”, in another 29 “orange” countries the laws are “ambiguous or contradictory”. Most of Europe is covered in greenery, with many official and unofficial nude beaches, including Spain, Greece and France, as well as the UK, the study notes. And the best nudist beach in the world was found in Europe – this is Playa de Bolonia in Spain.

Here are some examples of popular countries and what categories they received:

Egypt – “orange” zone. Many tourists claim that topless sunbathing on the beach is normal in the resorts, but in general the country is Muslim and this is not considered the norm.

Morocco – “red zone”. Topless or nude sunbathing is not allowed.

Seychelles – “orange” zone. In general, being naked is illegal, but on the beaches of private hotels, sunbathing in what the mother gave birth to is allowed in some cases.

Tunisia – “orange” zone, you can sunbathe topless in some private hotels

Cuba – “orange” zone, in theory public nudity is prohibited, but topless sunbathing is generally allowed for tourists.

India – “red zone”, it is forbidden to sunbathe topless or naked. However, in some resorts, in the same Goa, morals are clearly freer.

Israel is a “Green Zone”, although it is not very common, but topless sunbathing is not prohibited, and there are nude beaches.

The Maldives is theoretically a “red zone”: nude and topless sunbathing is prohibited. However, in most private hotels, no one will control how tourists sunbathe.

Sri Lanka – “red zone”: it is forbidden to go topless or naked on all public beaches, including hotel ones.

Thailand – “green zone”: there are official nude beaches, but topless sunbathing is allowed only in specially designated areas.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) – “red”: topless sunbathing is prohibited, and nudity in public places can land you in jail.

Austria – “green zone” – skinny tanning “a legal and very common form of tanning”.

Bulgaria – “green zone” and a good selection of nude beaches.

Croatia – “green zone” – sunbathing “natural” is allowed and practiced almost everywhere.

France – “green zone” nudism is common and acceptable for sunbathing, a large selection of nudist beaches.

Greece – “green zone”, topless sunbathing is allowed and common.

Montenegro is a “green zone”, there are numerous areas for sunbathing both naked and topless.

Spain – “green zone” it is allowed to sunbathe naked or topless, and this is quite common.

Turkey – “orange zone”: technically illegal, but you can often see tourists sunbathing topless. There are no official nude beaches.

The experts also calculated which countries tourists are most interested in nudist sunbathing. To do this, it was analyzed for the number of Google searches performed by the population of countries over the past 12 months to search for nude beaches, and then the number of Google searches was compared with the size of the population of each country.

The top 5 countries with in-kind sunbathers are:

Learn some interesting facts about Spain. Who is the largest producer of 🚗 olive oil, what is the most honorable profession in Spain, is nudism legal in this sunny country.

Sunny Spain and 15 interesting facts about it

OkTAM has prepared for you some of the most interesting facts about Spain:

The most popular sport in Spain is football . The year 2010 was marked for Spain by obtaining the status of the world champion in football. The famous cry “ole-ole” appeared in Spain. True, it was born not at football matches, but at bullfighting and flamenco. And the Spanish Real Madrid is the richest football club in the world.

On the territory of modern Spanish Andalusia is the oldest European city – Cadiz . The Phoenicians founded it in the 11th century BC. Cadiz is located on a narrow peninsula-spit, stretching for 9 km.

Spain ranks third in the world in terms of wine production . The previous positions are occupied by France and Italy. The Spaniards are very fond of their wines, and even not all wineries export their products due to the high demand among the local population.

Spain is the largest producer of olive oil. The country owns more than 45% of the world oil production. A large amount of the product is exported, however, a decent share of all exports is oil of good, but not the highest quality. Only 20% of the total volume of olive oil pressed in Spain is of the premium category. And also Spain exports more than 260 varieties of olives.

Spain is the home country of many famous artists. Here were born, lived and worked Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Francisco Goya, Antonio Gaudi. Spanish creators are mostly extraordinary personalities who were not afraid to once present their strange ideas and ideas to the public and received recognition.

On the coasts of sunny Spain there are more than 2,000 magnificent beaches . And there is not a single private beach in this country; even the most luxurious hotels do not have such wealth. The fact is that the coast of Spain is recognized as a public domain, to which it is forbidden to restrict access to anyone.

In Spain the cultivation of cannabis is allowed , but only for personal use. The sale of hemp seeds is legalized, and a drug is made from the resulting crop. Growing cannabis is a rather complicated process that requires certain knowledge, efforts and costs. At the same time, a mini-plantation in a Spanish apartment or in the backyard of a house is a common occurrence.

Madrid is the capital of Spain. However, the constant leader in tourist attendance among all cities in the country is Barcelona. And if usually tourists prefer to get acquainted with the country from visiting its capital, then in Spain it all starts with Barcelona. Often this city is mistakenly called the capital. Barcelona is a kind of color. It’s impossible not to fall in love with him.

Matador (bullfighter) is the most honorable profession in Spain. It is believed that you need to be born a matador, and then learn this profession. The best matadors are very rich people. In terms of wealth, they can be compared with the famous Spanish footballers. The most famous and beloved by the public matadors receive up to 400,000 euros per performance.

Barcelona Aquarium has the longest glass tunnel in the world. Walking through the 80-meter underwater tunnel allows you to experience incredible sensations and enjoy the beauty of the deep sea. The Aquarium is the world’s most important center for the study and conservation of the fauna of the Mediterranean Sea.

The anthem of Spain is one of the oldest in the world. The exact date of writing and the composer are unknown. Interestingly, only the composition is recognized as the anthem of the country. There was no official text before, and there is none now. At certain periods since 1770, different unofficial texts were in effect. The author of the modern version is Paulino Cubero.

and the Spanish tomato festival or the feast of Tomatina is recognized as the most fun and original in the world. Tomatina is a real bloody tomato war, which entails the death of 100 thousand tons of ripe tomatoes. The task of the participants in the war is to smear themselves, a friend, an acquaintance and a stranger with tomato juice with pulp as much as possible. The streets of the small town of Bunol are filled with a bright tomato mess. It is here that the festival takes place in the last week of August. This madness stretches for almost a whole week.

The famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was originally a Real Madrid football player. However, he had to end his football career at the age of 20 due to serious injuries sustained in a car accident.

Nudism is legal in Spain . For those who like to relax naked on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, there are more than 400 beaches. On each such beach there are signs prohibiting photography and video filming.

MOSCOW, June 3 – RIA Novosti. “Get ready to get naked outside and dress up indoors,” nude tour companies warn. There are separate beaches for nudists and even entire resorts with all the infrastructure in many countries. But still, “a way of life in harmony with nature” – naturism (from the Latin natura – nature) or nudism (nudus – naked) – is far from acceptable everywhere. In some states, for example, in the UAE, it is banned altogether.

A way to relax

The International Naturism Federation writes that this is a great way to relax and return to your roots. Without clothes, people accept each other as they are, and do not focus on who wears what.

There are even special complexes where you cannot appear in clothes.

“Some resorts have an all-nudist approach, others have a dawn to dusk policy, asking guests to dress up in the evening or dress only for breakfast and dinner at the restaurant,” explains Vyacheslav Konyshev, director of a travel company offering trips to nudist resorts.

Valalta, Croatia

This resort is consistently included in various ratings of the best nude beaches in the world, and also one of the most popular among Russians. It was opened back in the 60s near the city of Rovinj. The big advantage of the naturist complex is its long coastline (4.2 kilometers) with several pebbly coves, a clean sandy beach and a 150 meters pool.

By the way, the beach has a blue flag.

Also there is everything for sports, children’s recreation, many restaurants with national and international cuisine. The resort of Valalta is traditionally called a paradise for nudists.

First is located in the city of Agde, on the Gulf of Lion in the Mediterranean Sea. This is one of the most famous resorts among naturists, the largest naturist center in Europe. In its “naked” zone, there is no need to dress up when going to a restaurant, a bank, and even a police station, not to mention, of course, the beaches. Photo and video filming is prohibited.

Of the 14 kilometers of coast, about two are nudist, where everything is concentrated: more than fifty cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and souvenir shops, opportunities for beach and water sports.

According to the experts of the tourist market, there is one drawback – sometimes cold currents come. The water temperature can be 24 degrees today, and minus 18 tomorrow. But this does not stop vacationers.

The famous beach from the DiCaprio movie is closed for four months in Thailand

The small southern town of Montalivier is located not far from Bordeaux, where back in 1953 a conference of nudists was held. Now the local resort is called the world center of naturism. Here in the pine forest there are numerous campsites, bungalows, shops, sports and children’s centers and much more. Tides are not uncommon in the sea, so surfers ride boards and catch a wave.

True, you still have to dress up here. “In the pool area you can be naked during the day, in the hotel after 20:00 and the restaurant you can always be only in clothes,” travel agencies warn.

One of the most famous nude beaches in Spain is Playa des Cavallet in Ibiza. It is called a paradise for hedonists. Lush tropical vegetation, youth from all over the world. It is also a popular meeting place and recreation for European gays.

At the same time, the beach is located in the protected area for migratory birds and the Ses Salines nature reserve.

White, clean sand, bright blue sea, average air temperature of 29 degrees – all this, together with magnificent nature, allows the resort to regularly take places in the top 10 beaches for nudists.

It has a full range of services – restaurants with French and local cuisine, water sports (from sailing to diving), tennis, spa services. It is not necessary to dress up. “No shirt, it’s not a problem,” tourists are quoted as saying in restaurants.

Other countries

One of the northernmost nude beaches in the world is located in Denmark, 15 minutes from the center of Copenhagen. But he is “stepping on his heels”. So, in May, it became known that the country’s first official nudist beach was opening in Ireland on the coast of Dublin Bay.

True, the locals are surprised at the “courage” of those who will be ready to sunbathe naked. In summer, the air temperature barely rises to 19 degrees Celsius, and in Dublin Bay, the water temperature ranges from seven to 14 degrees.

In Russia, naturist beaches have been known for a long time, although they do not have official status. In Moscow, for example, lovers of nude recreation in nature swim and sunbathe in Serebryany Bor. The most famous nudist beaches of the Black Sea coast are located in the Crimea (in Fox Bay, Koktebel, Ordzhonikidze), in the Krasnodar Territory (in Adler, Gelendzhik, Divnomorsky, Abrau-Dyurso and other places).

Lanzarote volcano restaurant: Eat at Lanzarote’s volcano restaurant, the most unique dining experience in Spain — idealista

Is It Worth Eating At El Diablo

Is it worth eating at El Diablo Restaurant – Lanzarote’s volcano restaurant? From the menu and service, to volcano views, this review tells you all.

Timanfaya National Park is one place you absolutely have to visit if you’re holidaying in Lanzarote. The landscapes are immense, with volcanoes, craters, undulating lava fields and black basalt rock all around. It’s such a special place and was a highlight of our recent trip to the island.

I had a great day exploring Timanfaya National Park

While you can explore some of the national park without paying an entrance fee, this doesn’t give you the full experience! Once you pay for a ticket you’ll get to explore the Montańas del Fuego (fire mountains) on a 25-minute coach tour along the Ruta de los Volcanoes as well as witness the power of nature first-hand, as bubbling geysers spurt water high into the air. How amazing does that sound?

This experience is one of many reasons to visit Lanzarote, but wait… there’s more!

Did you know there’s a restaurant where they cook food in the heat of the volcano? El Diablo Restaurant is a unique dining experience right in the heart of Timanfaya National Park.

Forget your average garden BBQ, at this grill restaurant, temperatures soar to around 450 degrees Celsius! Don’t worry, this is a dormant volcano with the last eruption being in 1824. The only activity you’re likely to feel is the geothermal heat used to cook your lunch.

Time to share a bit more about my experience at the restaurant, and whether I think it’s worth visiting.

Geysers in Timanfaya National Park

The architecture of El Diablo Lanzarote

If you’ve read my huge guide to the best things to do in Lanzarote, you’ll have heard lots about legendary Lanzarote-born architect César Manrique. The majority of major landmarks and attractions on the island were created by him. He had a way of seamlessly blending nature and architecture, allowing them to work in harmony together.

It was no surprise to learn that he was responsible for the main buildings within the national park, including El Diablo restaurant.

With its short cylindrical shape, enormous windows showcasing out to the vast panoramic landscape and a tree growing through the centre, it’s a unique restaurant experience from the moment you enter the building.

I loved the views from El Diablo – so incredible!

When you’re on the coach tour around the park, keep an eye out for the building. From afar it looks like some kind of airbase or launchpad!

Manrique also designed the iconic devil (diablo) logo which you’ll see on all the signs for Timanfaya National Park, the napkins in the restaurant and dotted around the island.

The famous El Diablo logo was designed by Cesar Manrique

On the tour, you’ll be shown where the chef’s cook some of the food using the heat of the volcano! It was great to see this process in action, then to be able to order it in the restaurant shortly after!

What are the options at El Diablo Lanzarote?

We visited El Diablo for a coffee as soon as we arrived at Timanfaya National Park, then returned for a small lunch afterwards.

There are two options at this restaurant, depending on how hungry you are.

You can queue up for drinks, ice creams and light snacks such as a slice of cake and take a seat in the middle of the restaurant area.

Or you can take a seat next to the panoramic windows and enjoy waiter service from an a la carte menu.

How do they cook the food at El Diablo Restaurant, Lanzarote?

Many of the dishes on the a la carte menu are cooked in the heat of the volcano. Hot vapour rises up from the volcanic through the basalt-clad grill chamber.

This geothermal heat gradually cooks and browns the food resting on the cast iron grill. There’s a chef in charge of cooking the skewers and meats using this technique. Now that must be a hot job!

What’s on the menu at El Diablo Restaurant, Lanzarote?

The unique method of cooking attracts a lot of tourists to dine at El Diablo. I’ll say right now that this won’t be the best meal you eat in Lanzarote, but it will be one of the most unique. This isn’t just because the meats are grilled over the hot volcano, but because of the mesmerising views across the lava fields.

So, what’s on the menu at El Diablo Lanzarote? Here’s a selection of items that were listed when I visited, along with their prices in 2022:

Half chicken cooked in the heat of the volcano – €14,00
Grilled chorizo sausage served with fried peppers – €10,00
Pork and chicken skewer cooked in the heat of the volcano – €16,00
Sirloin steak cooked in the heat of the volcano – €18,50
Grilled fish with salad and arrugada potatoes – €18,00
Platter of roasted vegetables – €10,00
Canarian-style arrugada potatoes served with mojo sauces – €4,50
Chicken croquettes – €7,00
Lanzarote cheese board – €11,50

There were also a few children’s meals including breaded chicken and spaghetti Bolognese.

We didn’t have dessert but I spotted brownies, ice cream and mousse on the menu too.

The main courses (including food cooked in the geothermal heat) came with a choice of seasonal vegetables, potatoes or grilled sweet potato.

El Diablo is a unique restaurant in Lanzarote

Our experience at El Diablo Restaurant, Lanzarote

We started off with a coffee in the bar area before our tour. The prices were reasonable and the coffee was decent. The service was friendly too. It was ideal for a quick pick-me-up.

Coffee at El Diablo Lanzarote

After our tour we re-entered the restaurant, this time joining a short queue for a table for lunch. There were lots of circular tables topped with red gingham table cloths, set for lunch with napkins and cutlery.

Look at the Manrique devil logo on the napkins!

The waiter told us we could sit anywhere! How exciting we said… and picked a table in the middle with, what we thought, was the best view in the house. It turns out most tables have good views here… something César Manrique had obviously considered in his design!

Our table at El Diablo had an amazing view… as do most of the tables here!

The only table with a substandard view? The one with a window cleaner facing the couple dining! Well, with a view this spectacular, you’ve got to keep the glass nice and clean!

We weren’t starving so we decided against ordering two main courses. Instead we ordered half a chicken cooked in the heat of the volcano and the grilled chorizo sausage served with fried peppers. We also had some bread and butter.

Our lunch at El Diablo Restaurant, Lanzarote

The chicken was a highlight. It had a tasty charred flavour from being cooked over the volcano. It was served with half a jacket potato topped with mojo sauce, some cabbage and a light gravy. It was enjoyable enough but didn’t wow us.

The chorizo dish was exactly as it looks in the photos. It was very salty with a subtle spice and heat to it. The fried padron peppers were one of the best things we ate at the restaurant. If I returned I’d ask for a dish of them on their own!

What would I rate the experience? Well I’d give the food 5/10, but the view 10/10… so let’s call it 7.5! I think the view from this restaurant is one of the best in Lanzarote, and definitely one of the most unique in Spain. Yes, it’s touristy, but it deserves to be.

How do you book a table at El Diablo Restaurant, Lanzarote?

If you’ve read my review of El Diablo Restaurant and think you’d like to follow in my footsteps, then perhaps you’re thinking you should book a table. Unfortunately, this restaurant doesn’t accept bookings. However, we didn’t queue for long, and as people are constantly coming and going on coach tours, I don’t think you’d ever wait for long.

404 – PAGE NOT FOUND

Why am I seeing this page?

404 means the file is not found. If you have already uploaded the file then the name may be misspelled or it is in a different folder.

Other Possible Causes
You may get a 404 error for images because you have Hot Link Protection turned on and the domain is not on the list of authorized domains.

If you go to your temporary url (http://ip/~username/) and get this error, there maybe a problem with the rule set stored in an .htaccess file. You can try renaming that file to .htaccess-backup and refreshing the site to see if that resolves the issue.

It is also possible that you have inadvertently deleted your document root or the your account may need to be recreated. Either way, please contact your web host immediately.

Are you using WordPress? See the Section on 404 errors after clicking a link in WordPress.

How to find the correct spelling and folder

Missing or Broken Files
When you get a 404 error be sure to check the URL that you are attempting to use in your browser.This tells the server what resource it should attempt to request.

http://example.com/example/Example/help.html

In this example the file must be in public_html/example/Example/

Notice that the CaSe is important in this example. On platforms that enforce case-sensitivity example and Example are not the same locations.

For addon domains, the file must be in public_html/addondomain.com/example/Example/ and the names are case-sensitive.

Broken Image
When you have a missing image on your site you may see a box on your page with with a red X where the image is missing. Right click on the X and choose Properties. The properties will tell you the path and file name that cannot be found.

This varies by browser, if you do not see a box on your page with a red X try right clicking on the page, then select View Page Info, and goto the Media Tab.

http://example.com/cgi-sys/images/banner.PNG

In this example the image file must be in public_html/cgi-sys/images/

Notice that the CaSe is important in this example. On platforms that enforce case-sensitivity PNG and png are not the same locations.

404 Errors After Clicking WordPress Links

When working with WordPress, 404 Page Not Found errors can often occur when a new theme has been activated or when the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file have been altered.

When you encounter a 404 error in WordPress, you have two options for correcting it.

Option 1: Correct the Permalinks

Log in to WordPress. index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# End WordPress

If your blog is showing the wrong domain name in links, redirecting to another site, or is missing images and style, these are all usually related to the same problem: you have the wrong domain name configured in your WordPress blog.

How to modify your .htaccess file

The .htaccess file contains directives (instructions) that tell the server how to behave in certain scenarios and directly affect how your website functions.

Redirects and rewriting URLs are two very common directives found in a .htaccess file, and many scripts such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Magento add directives to the .htaccess so those scripts can function.

It is possible that you may need to edit the .htaccess file at some point, for various reasons.This section covers how to edit the file in cPanel, but not what may need to be changed. (You may need to consult other articles and resources for that information.)

There are Many Ways to Edit a .htaccess File

Edit the file on your computer and upload it to the server via FTP

Use an FTP program’s Edit Mode

Use SSH and a text editor

Use the File Manager in cPanel

The easiest way to edit a .htaccess file for most people is through the File Manager in cPanel.

How to Edit .htaccess files in cPanel’s File Manager
Before you do anything, it is suggested that you backup your website so that you can revert back to a previous version if something goes wrong.

Open the File Manager

Log into cPanel.

In the Files section, click on the File Manager icon.

Check the box for Document Root for and select the domain name you wish to access from the drop-down menu.

Make sure Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)” is checked.

Click Go. The File Manager will open in a new tab or window.

Look for the .htaccess file in the list of files. You may need to scroll to find it.

To Edit the .htaccess File

Right click on the .htaccess file and click Code Edit from the menu. Alternatively, you can click on the icon for the .htaccess file and then click on the Code Editor icon at the top of the page.

A dialogue box may appear asking you about encoding. Just click Edit to continue. The editor will open in a new window.

Edit the file as needed.

Click Save Changes in the upper right hand corner when done. The changes will be saved.

Test your website to make sure your changes were successfully saved. If not, correct the error or revert back to the previous version until your site works again.

Once complete, you can click Close to close the File Manager window.

Timanfaya National Park & El Diablo restaurant in Lanzarote!

The spectacular volcanic landscape of Timanfaya National Park is really worth visiting – one of the top attractions in Lanzarote!

Timanfaya National Park location:
You will find Timanfaya National Park located on the gorgeous island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. It’s in the southwest, more specifically within Las Palmas. The park itself is made entirely from volcanic soil, giving it a unique appearance that makes for some incredible photographs. The park itself is full of wildlife, such as camels, rabbits, shrews, lizards, and stunning flora and fauna. It really is one of the best natural wonders in Europe!

In order to protect the natural beauty of the area, there is strict access regulation for the public; make sure you stick the paths, read signs, and listen to any instructions you are given. It is a delicate area, especially for plant life, and so needs to be handled with care.

What time does Timanfaya National Park open?
The park is open seven days a week from 09:00 until 17:45. It is the most visited park in Spain, with around a million people exploring its natural beauty every year.

There are some incredible trails, and the last volcano tour starts at 17:00, so make sure you book in advance to avoid any potential disappointment. There is a small entry fee, and it is very affordable. There is also plenty of public access via foot, camel, and public transport.

What’s the best time to visit the Timanfaya National Park?
Many visitors would agree that the mornings in Timanfaya National Park are the most exceptional. However, if you visit during the autumn and winter months, you may also get to experience the sunset. There is nothing quite like the arrays of reds, pinks, and oranges that stretch across the expanse of the sky in the evenings.

The recommended visiting hours from the park are between 09:30 and 10:00 as well as between 15:00 and 17:45. These are the quietest times and will give you a better chance of really soaking in the surrounding area. You can visit during the peak times, of course, but you should be prepared for long queues as well as traffic.

How much time do you need at Timanfaya National Park?
Three hours is usually a good average, especially if you want to follow the walking trails. There is a lot to see, and you should take as much time as you can to explore it all. If you do decide to go hiking, make sure you are adequately prepared for your trip.

Bring a backpack with lots of water, sunscreen, and trail snacks that will keep your energy up. The three-hour ranger walk needs to be booked in advance and lasts three hours; it’s highly recommended if you want to see everything.

Is Timanfaya still active?
Yes, it is still active although currently considered
dormant. The thing that makes Timanfaya so interesting is that it consists of a
string of small volcanoes together. This is why there is so much rich volcanic
soil in the park, as well as extensive lava fields that need to be seen in
person to be truly appreciated. As you walk through the park, you will notice
that the ground is quite warm, and this heat comes from the lava systems under
the ground.

The last time that Timanfaya erupted was in 1824, and this
was considered to be a small one. Before this, there is a record of six years
of eruptions on varying scales between 1730 and 1736. Of course, there were
plenty more eruptions before these dates, but the records are not as clear for
these. Due to the time that has passed since the last eruption, it has
currently been labelled dormant but has the potential to erupt again in the
future.

How to get to Timanfaya by car?
Getting to the park by car is quite easy, and there is
parking relatively close to the entrance. You can even drive yourself up to the
volcanoes after paying the entry fee if you would rather use your own transport
than the provided coaches. However, if you do decide to do this, it is best to
visit during the quiet periods so that you can avoid traffic jams and extensive
queuing.

Here are some of the travel times to Timanfaya National Park from popular locations nearby:

Puerto del Carmen: 30 minutes

Playa Blanca: 20 minutes

Costa Teguise: 45 minutes

As Timanfaya is on an island, nothing is ever too far away;
which is nice when you are on holiday. Even if you decide to use public
transport to get there, it doesn’t add too much to the overall journey time.
Just make sure you leave adequate time for any traffic during busy summer
months or rush hour.

How far is Timanfaya from Playa Blanca?
On a good day with no traffic, the park is a mere 20 minutes away from Playa Blanca by car. You could even cycle between the two in less than two hours if you fancy a little exercise. Playa Blanca is the most southern town on the island and is home to white-sand beaches that stretch along the coastline.

Additionally, it is also home to the newest resort on the
island, which sports luxurious swimming pools, spas, and delicious foods. Of
course, the town itself is home to some incredible local dishes that are sure
to tantalise your taste buds. It’s the perfect place to visit for a night of good
cuisine and adventure.

Timanfaya National Park tour by coach
If you want to take the tour via coach, you will have to
start in one of the following major towns nearby:

Playa Blanca

Puerto del Carmen

Costa Teguise

The cruise terminal

There are two options for your tour; either a half-day or a full excursion. The day trip takes you through Timanfaya, but also to some of the most interesting spots in Lanzarote for good food, shopping, and soaking in the culture. The tours tend to be reasonably priced, and they must be booked in advance as you can’t just hop on the coach on the day.

When you get to the National Park, the coach will take you through the volcanoes and teach you more about the history of the area as well as the science behind it all. It’s a great way to learn more about nature and wildlife in the park, as well as an opportunity for some exceptional photos that will help you to make lasting memories.

El Diablo restaurant
This is the restaurant you simply need to visit. There is nothing quite like El Diablo, and the food is exceptional for more reasons than just the taste. The way they cook the food is what makes them so unique, because they use the heat from the active volcanoes. In fact, the lava is only six feet below the pit, which adds an adrenaline-pumping level of danger to your trip (although in reality, the restaurant is very safe).

Guests are welcome to come and take a look at the pit over
which the food is cooked, and it is an exciting part of your meal there. On top
of that, the restaurant also offers a stunning panoramic view of the park where
you can watch it stretch for endless miles from the comfort of your table.

What films were filmed in the Timanfaya national park?
There have been a lot of films that used the Canary Islands for their wide range of landscapes and natural wonders; Lanzarote is not an exception to this rule. Here’s a list of films that used Timanfaya National Park as at least one of their locations:

A Million Years Ago (1966)

Wrath of the Titans (2010)

Doctor Who (2014)

Black Mirror (2017)

The National Park is home to such a unique landscape with
colours that you just don’t find elsewhere in nature. Therefore, it is a popular
place to film for those who want a terrain that gives off a lot of atmosphere
and emotion.

Is it worth visiting Timanfaya National Park?
The short answer is yes, it absolutely is worth visiting. Aside from the natural wonders, you have the visitor centre at the entrance that is also home a museum. Within this, you can learn about the history of the park as well as the science behind its volcanic soil and intricate lava passages.

The bonus comes with the fact that entry is very affordable, and there are various guided tours that will take you to explore the area. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t exist in multiple places, and if you want to experience Timanfaya, you really have to visit. If you think it looks incredible in the photographs, just wait until you see it with your own eyes.

Lanzarote things to do – Top 9 best attractions of the volcanic island

A breathtaking lunar landscape. Wines that enchant the palate. Beaches are full of black, volcanic sand. Undoubtedly, Lanzarote is one of the most intriguing Canary Islands. Is it worth spending a vacation on the “island of volcanoes”?

El Golfo, Spain

The desert climate of the island makes it possible to go there at any time of the year. For example, the warmest month is August with an average temperature of 24 °C. In turn, the coldest month is January. However, wind mainly affects the weather, which can be annoying.

Timanfaya National Park, Spain

This is an unspoiled island where you will not find advertising billboards and such large hotel areas as in Gran Canaria or Tenerife. Moreover, miles of the volcanic landscape and small white houses will make you feel like you are in total wildness. Architecture that harmonizes with the surroundings is without a doubt the merit of the work of an outstanding Spanish artist.

Haria, Spain

César Manrique Cabrera loved Lanzarote. He wanted to keep the raw character of the island. In addition, he was an opponent of mass tourism, which unfortunately developed quickly after his death in Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise. Despite this, there are plenty of unspoiled places on this beautiful island.

Lanzarote things to do

1. Timanfaya National Park

The most beautiful place on the island we have seen so far. Unique views of all shades of brown, red, and black. Huge lava fields through which lead the tourist route “Ruta de Los Volcanes”. However, visiting the park on your own is impossible. You can admire the lunar landscape only through the bus window.

Timanfaya National Park, Spain

Timanfaya National Park is also called “Mountains of Fire”. The earth’s temperature at a depth of 10 meters reaches even 600 °C. The tourist center of Islote de Hilario is located in the hottest spot of Timanfaya Park. You can find out by yourself when you pick up a few stones from a hot surface of the earth.

Timanfaya National Park, Spain

Employees of the park organize geothermal shows there. The hay inserted between the rocks immediately begins to burn and the water poured into the hole explodes. Indeed, the geyser eruption in Lanzarote is not as exciting as in Iceland. Even though it is forced by a man, it makes us aware that the earth in this place is still active.

Timanfaya National Park, Spain

2. El diablo restaurant

The amazing creativity of the architect →César Manrique is visible in Timanfaya Park. There is a restaurant built on the volcano crater. It blends in perfectly with the surrounding landscape. The glass construction allows you to enjoy the view of the otherworldly volcanic island.

El Diablo restaurant, Spain

The kitchen chefs use the natural heat generated by the Earth to prepare meals. You can see a huge grill with your own eyes, and tasting the “hellish” dish will be an unforgettable experience. Restaurants El diablo is undoubtedly one of the most unique restaurants in the world.

3. El Golfo

Imagine that part of the volcano was washed away by the ocean, and a lake was formed inside the crater. Green lake, which owes its unusual color to algae. Unfortunately, the water evaporates all the time and the surface of the lake decreases. In turn, the salinity is constantly increasing and currently is greater than in the Black Sea.

El Golfo, Spain

The views at El Golfo are spectacular. The blue color of the Atlantic Ocean contrasting with the black volcanic rocks is breathtaking. In addition, the green lake El Golfo provides us with a unique view. To sum up, this place is under protection and swimming in the lake is prohibited.

El Golfo, Spain

4. Jameos del Agua

Jameos del Agua has been called “the eighth wonder of the world” by the American actress Rita Hayworth. In turn, architect César Manrique described his project as “the most beautiful nightclub in the world”. Without a doubt, this is the best work of this artist which you must see while your stay in the Canary Islands.

Jameos del Agua, Spain

The pool at Jameos del Agua is one of the most beautiful pools in the world. Crystal clear turquoise water and pristine white contrasting with black rocks will make you fall in love with this spot. You will not be able to stop admiring it. All the details are perfect, and this place shows the true talent of César Manrique.

Jameos del Agua, Spain

In Jameos del Agua there is an underground salt lagoon where you can spot blind albino crabs. Furthermore, you can see them only on Lanzarote. A staircase surrounded by beautiful plants leads to the Jameo Chico cave. It is worth staying there for longer because there are not many places in the world where nature and the art of the human form are such a masterpiece.

Jameo Chico, Spain

5. Bodegas Barreto Vinos El Campesino – Traditional winery of Lanzarote

The cultivation of grapes on this island is without a doubt the most unusual cultivation in the whole world. It would seem that barren land is not suitable for cultivation. However, residents of the island found out that volcanic ash is a great isolator. Water, which is very valuable on the island does not evaporate, so the plant has enough nutrients all the time.

Vineyards in Lanzarote, Spain

The wind is a big problem on the island. For this reason, residents decided to create stone walls to protect grapes. Huge grape fields in volcanic areas look impressive. I think it’s worth visiting one of the traditional wineries in the Canary Islands.

Vineyards in Lanzarote, Spain

The Bodegas Barreto winery began operating in 1950. It has been awarded many times for amazing alcohol. It is also worth going there for dinner because they serve excellent food. The place itself is very cozy. Beautiful giant cactuses grow in front of the winery.

Bodegas Barreto, Spain

6. Bar Restaurante Los Helechos

A restaurant with a beautiful view can be found not only in Timanfaya Park. The white building with large glazing allows you to enjoy the view of the volcanic island. Bar Restaurante Los Helechos can be a great stop before visiting the next attractions.

Bar Restaurante Los Helechos, Spain

7. Playa Blanca

The island is not only full of black beaches but also white soft sand, which can be found, among others, on the beach Playa Blanca. It is located in the southern part of the island, making it a great connection to the neighboring island of Fuerteventura. If you are a fan of sandy beaches make sure to check out →the Top 10 most beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura

Awarded many times as the most beautiful village in Spain. A sleepy place where there are not many attractions. However, it is worth going there to feel the spirit of this place. Imagine that the lava flows in your direction and suddenly splits into two parts. The inhabitants of Yaiza experienced this personally. Lava bypassed their village and flowed towards Uga and Playa Blanca.

Yaiza, Spain

9. Salina De Janubio

Geometric patterns of various colors can be admired in the southern part of the island. It is the largest salt production site on all Canary Islands. In spring and autumn, many migratory birds visit Salina De Janubio. I think this is an interesting attraction to the volcanic island of Lanzarote.

What is worth buying in Lanzarote?

Magnet
I can’t imagine returning from a vacation without a magnet. It is a symbolic souvenir that can fit in any suitcase. The most common magnets on Lanzarote are the characteristic devil of Timanfaya Park and the black volcanic rocks.

Wine
This island is my number one among all wines! Volcanic wine, grown uniquely, tastes amazing. This is a must-buy souvenir from Lanzarote.

Aloe cosmetics
Aloe grows on all Canary Islands, but you can find the largest amount of it in Lanzarote. This plant moisturizes and helps relieve sunburn. It is worth buying aloe cream while your stay on this sunny island.

Let me know what kind of souvenirs do you bring from your travels!

Who doesn’t love a barbecue? Everyone does, where food is slow cooked over low indirect heat, giving it the smoky flavor in the process. Did you ever see food being cooked over a volcano? If not then it is time you head to Timanfaya National Park.

Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park is already famous for being surrounded by more than 100 volcanic mountains or more popularly known as “The Fire Mountains”. There is another unique feature which you must not miss, at the El Diablo (translated as devil) Restaurant, situated on a dormant volcano, bursting with heat or hot vapor, with the Timanfaya National Park as a backdrop, food is cooked using geothermal heat coming out from a hole in the ground.

The food is cooked on cast iron grill at temperatures reaching 400 centigrade and more, making it delicious and a memorable lunch in Lanzarote, surrounded by the unique martian landscape. When the restaurant was being made, the owner of the El Diablo Restaurant, consulted scientists and volcanologists who checked on the safety of the unusual method to cook food.

Things To Do In Lanzarote

stunning and frightening beauty part 2

Have you ever been to Mars? The answer is not difficult to predict, of course not. Each of us imagines what Mars should look like, since it is not difficult to find photos on the Internet and read descriptions of this amazing planet. You say, and where does Mars?! Let’s talk today on the topic: Lanzarote where is it and how is this place connected to Mars …

Lanzarote where it is:

The thing is that there is a place on our Earth where you can fly by plane and at the same time see the Martian landscapes. I mean the beautiful island of the Canary archipelago – Lanzarote.

This article is written by me about the southern and central parts of the island, where dozens of volcanoes continuously erupted for six years and turned a third of the island into an incredible deserted lava desert.

I want to note that in 2017 in December we returned to the island and I wrote a new article , even more informative, besides, we shot a lot of videos!

Do not forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel Aviamania , so as not to miss a single series about the island of Lanzarote!

In the article I will give a detailed description of all the attractions of the southern part of Lanzarote, I will publish many photos, videos and reviews about visiting the beautiful mysterious island in the Atlantic Ocean. And article North of Lanzarote describes the perfect plan for a day trip, which includes visiting all the important sights!

Lanzarote on the map

Compare for yourself…

In order not to be unfounded, I suggest you look at the photo and compare a distant planet with an island, which is only a few hours away. Wonderful photos! But which of them depicts Mars, and which Lanzarote is far from being guessed by everyone, since the similarity is obvious. For those who are curious, I will answer that the first photo is the Canary Island of Lanzarote, and the second photo is the Martian landscape.

Lanzarote Canary Islands: The Other Island

“The Other Island” is what the inhabitants of the Canary Islands call Lanzarote. 300 volcanoes of the island breathe and fascinate, and this is a third of all volcanoes on our planet. Such a small island, less than 20 km from north to south and about 60 from west to east, and so rich in craters and wonders.

So, on 01/04/2014, we, accompanied by a wonderful Guide, went on an individual tour, which involves visiting all the significant sights of the southern and central part of Lanzarote. The route, as on the first day of the tour, was supposed to be intense in terms of a limited amount of time to many places worthy of attention. Well, I’ll start my story.

Start of the tour

We left early so that at the beginning of ten in the morning we were already at the entrance to the main and most visited part of the island – Timanfaya Park.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Vessels often come to Lanzarote, I mean cruise liners, which disembark crowds of vacationers for several hours and large buses pick them up right from the deck and take them. Where do you think?

They are taken to the Timanfaya Park, and the rest of the sights of Lanzarote are visited by tourists in the time remaining before the departure of the ship, if it allows. But to come to Lanzarote and immediately rush to Timanfaya means to immediately see the shocking landscape of the island, the appearance of which has not changed since the last eruption and bears little resemblance to the Earth. An experienced guide first of all shows the Northern part of the island, where thousands of years have passed since the last eruption and nature has restored vegetation and the appearance of a beautiful and amazing place. We did just that, so we saw a different Lanzarote.

Let me remind you, for those who have not yet read the article about the North of Lanzarote on the AVIAMANIA website, that initially the route of individual excursions for 2 days was planned as follows:

On the first day we visited: Aria

Mirador Del Rio

Orzola White Beaches

Cueva de los Verdes

Jameos del Agua

Cactus Botanical Garden

Famara Surfer Beach

House Museum of Caesar Manrika

Route on 01.01.15 We turned out as follows:

Cams on camels near the Timanfayu Park

National volcanic park Timanfai

9005 )
Lunch in a fishing village near El Golfo

Teguise, the ancient capital of the island

Wine road trip

Salinas Salinas Del Janubio

Los Hervideros

Black sand beach with olivines

The guide picked us up at 8. 30 and we set off on a scenic route to Timanfaya Park.

The color of the soil changed from bright red to black, the mountains gave way to plains, and the ocean raged on the horizon.

Photos of Lanzarote Island

A couple of times we stopped at panoramic sites to capture landscapes typical of Lanzarote: white low houses located in the lowlands and endless mountains on the horizon. Before us is a young and very popular resort of the island of Playa Blanca:

Photographs are endless in Lanzarote, as every hill and every piece of land is unique in its own way.

Canary Islands Lanzarote:

Before plunging into the beauty of the national park, we stopped for a camel ride. This place is located on the left side of the road and is visible to the naked eye, as a whole caravan is resting in an open area at the foot of the mountain.

No to billboards and traffic lights

Camel caravan video and story :

Despite the fact that in the list of places that we visited on 01/04/15 I put the village of Yaysa in third place, during this day we passed it at least three times. The first time it was on the way to the Fire Mountains park.

In a place called Ugu there is a camel farm, from where camels go to work twice a day to take tourists around the edge of Timanfaya. Camels have everything like people: they have work experience (up to 25 years), work schedule (five days) and, of course, a siesta, thanks to which you can observe the arrival and departure of the caravan to the farm not twice a day, but four.

The whimsical emblem of Timanfaya Park met us at the entrance to the parking lot for those wishing to ride a camel. The place where the action takes place is called the Camel Station (Echadero de Camellos).

Looking to the left or right at the landscapes around you just can’t believe that you see it with your own eyes, it’s unreal!!!!

Landscape photo of Lanzarote:

Camel ride

Camel caravan calmly resting before a hard day’s work, and we enter the parking lot:

And here are our beauties:

Something was wrong)

In all this story with skating, one thing was embarrassing – the smell. Despite the fact that we were told how well the animals are taken care of, we could not help but feel some stench, which was associated with uncleaned animal excrement right at the place of their deployment. In no case do I want to dissuade you from walking, just don’t think that after it you will smell like French perfume))) But it’s not scary, because in 20 minutes the smell will quickly disappear, because a serious wind dominates Lanzarote.

Camel and me

Since we arrived early, we were the first and only visitors so far. Camels are bound by seven individuals, and each camel is seated by 2 riders on the king of the desert. Thus, two camels would have been enough for four of us, but they don’t go by two, and we mounted a whole bunch. We were not forced to pay for a walk for all the animals, as it turned out, the two camels on which we rode were grated rolls with great experience, and the rest were young, just learning to walk correctly and carry people. So to speak, the training of a group of camels under our strict guidance)

Camel riding price:

You may or may not like the process of riding, but it is very unlikely that it will leave you indifferent. I suggest you watch a short video that very well conveys the storm of emotions caused by the fact that for the first time they put me on a camel.

Video of camel riding:

It is not at all necessary that when you arrive at the Camel Station you will have the opportunity to take pictures with everyone and then ride them on the route, as usually in the morning they start bringing here large buses with tourists, of which a large some are not averse to riding a camel, especially when it comes to children. But even if all the bunches of camels are occupied by tourists, then keep in mind the following: the walk lasts no more than half an hour with all the seating and preparations, and the race itself takes about twenty minutes, so if you decide to ride, wait, as it will not take much time.

Advice:

it is better to choose camel riding before visiting the national park, as in this case the impressions will go on increasing, beautiful landscapes in a small circle. But if you first visit an excursion to Timanfaya, and then go for a ride, then you are unlikely to be impressed by the landscapes seen on the camel route.

What to do on a camel

While the caravan is moving, you can take pictures and make videos, but keep in mind that the camel shakes slightly, and sometimes quite strongly, in addition, a very strong wind blows, so you have to hold on to the seat and not always want to let him go. Camels are different; If, along the way, someone put his head on your shoulder, then do not be alarmed, this is probably the camel following you.

Here is our trail, more precisely, one segment of the path at the beginning of the route:

Certainly, an experienced driver was at the head of the caravan, who also took pictures of us at our request:

The camels slowly climbed the hill along a circular route. On the second leg of the journey, very picturesque landscapes began to open up:

Pay attention to how small and even superfluous the car is among the lava rocks and craters in the photo:

Unreal landscapes

We have finished our walk and are watching the next caravan taking tourists to the route.

After the camels, I wanted to quickly get rid of the unpleasant smell and warm up. The photo above shows part of the building (on the right), where the toilets and the cafeteria are located, so we had the opportunity to do this, but there was no time, we were in a hurry to meet new experiences in the Timanfaya National Park.

Timanfaya Park Lanzarote (

Timanfaya National Park)
1.09. In 1730, a volcano began to erupt on the island of Lanzarote, this happened in the central part of the island. Not far from the park is the settlement of Yaiza, in which there was then and to this day a parish, the rector of which Don Andrés Lorenzo Curbelo firmly decided not to leave the island and record for posterity all the changes taking place on it. So on the day the eruptions began, Andres Lorenzo Curbelo recorded in his notes that in the evening after 9 o’clock the Earth opened up, and a new mountain appeared directly from the depths of the Earth, and lava flowed, and it was like this for almost 20 days . ..

The story continues

The eruption of one volcano did not end, but only began….For six years, more and more cones appeared and began to spew lava. Dozens of settlements were wiped off the face of the earth. In their place was frozen lifeless lava. Andres Lorenzo Curbelo did not leave his parish and continued to record changes that became the property of posterity. The priest himself was able to survive during the eruptions, since the settlement of Yaisa was not affected: the lava stopped its movement less than half a kilometer from it. People living on the island suffered little, since these eruptions are not sudden, their beginning can be predicted by a number of characteristic signs, therefore, even before the start of the disaster, local residents left their homes and went to neighboring islands and some to the mainland. True, there were also false alarms when people left, but as a result, nothing happened and they returned to their homes.

Crater

The photo below shows this huge crater, from which a series of eruptions began, thanks to which in Lanzarote in 1974 the Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional Timanfaya) was opened to tourists. This park has become a unique attractive place, about which there are twofold impressions. This is a stunning and at the same time frightening beauty, in front of which no one is able to remain indifferent!

Montañas del Fuego

Montañas del Fuego, as the park is also called, is on the right side of the road. Its area exceeds half a hundred square kilometers.

After a six-year eruption, there were more eruptions here, so the last lava ejection was in 1824, but this does not frighten the inhabitants of the island and they sincerely love their island and convey emotions to everyone who comes to see its wonders.

Checkpoint

There is something like a checkpoint at the entrance to the park. Since it is forbidden to walk around the park and everyone comes by transport, it is more convenient to buy tickets without leaving your seat. Entrance tickets are purchased through the driver’s window for the number of passengers, including the driver. Often a queue accumulates at the entrance to the park, tourists complain that sometimes they spend from half an hour to an hour to enter. We were lucky and we, having arrived at the beginning of the tenth morning, did not find a single car at the entrance, and even more so a sightseeing bus.

Tickets

Tickets for Timanfaya were bought from us the day before when visiting Mirador Del Rio, from which our journey began. Timanfaya was the fourth attraction on the island paid for with a single ticket.

Parking lot

After driving a short distance, we will find ourselves on a mountainside, where paved parking is provided for visitors to the park. There were few cars in the parking lot.

The principle of excursions in Timanfaya is as follows:

you arrive, park, then there are large sightseeing buses on the top of the mountain. As soon as the number of people is enough to fill the bus, he goes to the route. The route lasts 45 minutes, and its length is a little less than 15 km, and includes several stops at the most beautiful and unusual places. Getting off the bus is prohibited, you can only take pictures through the bus window. Despite this, the narrow winding one-way road is very picturesque and arranged in such a way as to view as closely as possible all the power and beauty of this place!

Caesar Manrique

Like everything great and beautiful, and the creation of Timanfaya Park is no exception, the great artist and outstanding person Caesar Manrique had a hand in it. So, according to his project, on the top of Islote de Hilario, from which the bus tour starts, there is a restaurant. This is perhaps the most famous and visited restaurant on the island. The name of the restaurant is no less shocking than its location: El Diablo, which translates as The Devil. What is special about this restaurant?

Restaurant El Diablo

There is no obvious volcanic activity in Lanzarote now, but in Islote de Hilario it is… At a depth of about 10 cm, the temperature reaches almost one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius, and already about 7 meters down and it will be about four hundred degrees. First, I will tell a little about the restaurant itself, and then I will reveal the main secret of cooking, although many have probably already guessed ….

Going to a restaurant

The top of the mountain of unusual red color is both a restaurant and a panoramic platform at the same time. While dining, you can admire the craters and the endless lava desert. The restaurant was built in 1970 around a fig tree (fig tree) that grows in volcanic ash in the center of the building behind glass partitions. Next to the tree is the skeleton of a camel.

Legend

According to legend, a man named Ilario, a resident of Lanzarote, returned from the Philippines after the Spanish-American War and lived on the top of this volcano for several decades, accompanied by a faithful friend – a camel. His fig tree did not bear fruit, for the flame would not feed the flower. Now it is no longer the same tree, it has not been preserved, like the bones of a camel. In addition, the artist’s vision is slightly different from reality, since the current skeleton has two skulls.

And here is the restaurant, photographed from the bus window during a tour of the Timanfaya Park:

Could not see)? On the left, almost in the center, a barely noticeable gray stripe is El Diablo.

El Diablo

The restaurant resembles a spaceship as envisioned by the architect who managed to bring this idea to life.

Pay attention to the view from the windows of the restaurant, isn’t it a fairy tale? This is a round recess lined with stones, into which, in addition to the natural heat coming from below, pipes are also connected from different sides. Thus, it is a natural hearth, which is used as a grill for cooking.

Cooking process

Chicken, fish, pork, beef, all this is cooked on the grill, and anyone can admire the process, as the action takes place in a round room open to tourists, in which ordered dishes.

The restaurant also has a kitchen

Everything except animal food is grilled in the usual way. The portions here are large, but about whether you should eat here or not, think for yourself. You will not see anything supernatural, like volcanic ash flying from a piece of meat or a burning chicken wing, you may only feel a slightly specific smell from the dish. Some say that the chicken is incomparably tender and tasty, others believe that they have wasted their money. Regardless of whether you decide to dine here or not, a visit to this place is a must!!!

Miracles of Timanfaya

Dry camel thorns are placed with a long stick in a specially equipped pit near the entrance to the restaurant. The pit is lined with stones, which are always in a heated state, as I already wrote that the temperature is almost 150 degrees at a depth of 10 cm. First, steam starts to come out of the pit, but after 45 seconds a real fire flares up and everyone moves back, as heat comes from the hole in the ground. Frankly, in our case, the miracle happened in 2 minutes, and not at all in 45 seconds. The reason for this is either slightly damp camel thorns (it was early morning), or winter …

Fire on Timanfaya video

Second miracle

The second miracle, which can be seen both before and after the tour by bus, is no less impressive. A person with a bucket of water comes to a small hole in which a steel pipe (about 12 cm in diameter) is fixed, and pours some water into it. Immediately, a column of steam about a meter high appears above the hole. Further more interesting: a bucket of water pours completely into the pipe and after a few seconds a ten-meter column of hot steam bursts upwards with a characteristic sound.

Heat from the Lanzarote volcano video:

The bus is filled with tourists and everyone is excited to go on a trip … The bus has an audio guide that periodically talks about Timanfaya in three languages: Spanish, English, German. It mostly happens at stops.

Very narrow roads, a large clumsy bus, but not only to immerse in a state of fear and horror in front of the open bowels of the earth in the bus they include the music “Also spraht Zoratustra (2001)” by R. Strauss …. Horror …

You begin to wonder and not believe your eyes from the very beginning. A very serious and very recent cataclysm in Lanzarote by the standards of volcanic eruptions opened up amazing places to the world:

No matter how paradoxical it may seem, life is in full swing in Timanfaya))) Three hundred varieties of living organisms live here. It cannot be said that it is visible to the naked eye, but in some places one can observe overgrown lichen and other small plants. An endangered species of Egyptian vulture settled in the craters of volcanoes.

Timanfaya is a place of utmost scrutiny, as it is the only place on Earth where the resurgence of life after recent eruptions can be observed on such a large scale. Scientists work here and research is constantly conducted in geology, volcanology, botany and zoology.

Timanfaya is also unique in that there are all types of lava that only exist in nature. Six-year eruptions spread over the surface of the island lava of different composition, consistency, speed, and temperature. They froze each in their own way and always in different ways: huge blocks thrown out of the vent and small fragile pebbles. Basalt and siliceous deposits or red fractures of craters, indicating a high content of iron oxide, no matter what composition and size the lava has, it strikes and destroys all stereotypes about beauty!

But is lava always dangerous and is man powerless over it?!

Having visited Lanzarote, you understand that it is not… After a while, pieces of lava with bizarre shapes are a fragile remnant of the past that can be destroyed with just one step… Lava is fragile and defenseless, like a crust of ice on a freshly frozen lake. It changes shades in the sun and fascinates against the backdrop of mountains with brown tides.

The migration of the local population due to the eruptions in Lanzarote has reduced its inhabitants, now on the island you can count about five hundred locals who have chosen the northern part of the island.

Timanfaya walking tour:

As you may have guessed, it is forbidden to walk around the park to anyone and anywhere. But this does not mean that Timanfaya can only be seen from the bus window. Therefore, in addition to the story about the bus tour, I will tell you about the walking tour.

The first thing to do is go to the Ministerio de Agricultura website.

Register: https://www.reservasparquesnacionales.es/real/ParquesNac/usu/html/listado-actividades-oapn.aspx?cen=6

Download the Permit for free access to the Park as part of an organized tour

Meet a quarter of an hour before the appointed time at the center for the provision of translation services: Centro de Visitantes de Mancha Blanca35560 Tinajo Palmas (Las)ESPAÑA

Bring: passport and Permit (in advance received on the site, downloaded and printed)

Formalities: you need to sign a document that all responsibility remains with the tourist no matter what happens, in addition, a signature is put for instructions on safety precautions and rules of conduct during the excursion

Requirements: closed shoes without heels, sneakers are best. Without it, despite the Permission, they can simply not be allowed on the route! You need a hat, water and protective cream.

There is always a chance that the tour will not take place, because in case of any threat and inappropriate weather conditions, the tour is canceled.

Length of the route: three kilometers

At the same time, two groups of eight people go to the route, to the start of which they are delivered by a minibus. Back to the Translation Center will also be delivered with a breeze.

One group with a Spanish-speaking guide, the other with an English-speaking guide, move towards each other, meet in the middle of the path and continue to move each in its own direction.

Duration: three hours

The unreal landscapes around give you strength, and even an unprepared person will be able to go through this path thanks to an incredible charge and even, I would say, euphoria.

You need to be careful and careful in your actions and listen to everything that the guide says, since the appearance of the lava is deceptive and under a seemingly thick layer there may be nothing but fragments of another lava that flowed at a lower level . ..

Both the bus and walking tours are great, but the experience is completely different. If you want to get maximum adrenaline and pleasure, then go to both)

Canarian village of Yaiza

I have repeatedly mentioned the name Yaiza in the article, as this is a very remarkable place on the islands. Firstly, of course, it gained its popularity due to the fact that during the six-year eruption the above-mentioned priest of the local parish not only survived all the cataclysms of those years, but also managed to record, preserve and bring to posterity a complete description of the phenomena occurring on the island after the start of the first eruption . Yaysa, as I have already told you, did not suffer in those years.

In addition to the fact that this place has an important historical value, it is also the main city of the province of the same name on the island, and an important transport hub. By hub in this case I mean that if in Europe all roads lead to Rome, here they lead through Yaiza. For example, during our visit to Timanfaya, El Golfo, Lago Verde and Los Ervideres, we passed through Yaiza 3 times.

In Spain there was a competition for the best green Spanish village and which village won in your opinion? Yes, that’s right, Yaisa. Why? Well, there may be many reasons here and we are not given to know about all of them, but we probably know that this is a very typical place for Lanzarote: white houses are not higher than the Canary palm tree, there is a lot of green vegetation for this part of the island and at the same time everything is very nice and well-groomed. Probably, Lanzarote still made an indulgence, because this is far from the greenest place, but you must admit that it is much more difficult to plant trees and flowers on a lava desert under the scorching sun without precipitation, and besides, it is much more difficult to support their life than in a climate adapted for this in Spain with fertile soil for cultivation of various kinds of vegetation.

Surprisingly, after passing through the village of Yaiza three times, we never took a single photo to publish it in the article. On the way back from Timanfaya Park, we even stopped and went to the parish where the records of six years of eruptions were kept. Inside this catalytic parish, in addition to Christmas installations, there was something that cannot be found anywhere else – icons painted on lava!

El Golfo crater on Lanzarote

Our compatriots know so little about the beautiful Lanzarote and distort so much information that, unfortunately, many tales remain in people’s memory. Thanks to the fact that we enjoyed the tour, accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable guide Elena, we learned more than you can find on the Internet and the information is as reliable as possible. The place we arrived at after visiting Timanfaya Park is especially rich in all sorts of false stories, which, among other things, are composed by guides !! Yes, yes, imagine, arriving or sailing for one day, say from Tenerife, with a group of tourists, the guide monotonously broadcasts something that contradicts both the laws of nature and common sense. Of course, I do not claim that this happens often, but sometimes people come across who do not even bother to check the accuracy of the information they present.

So, the first noteworthy place is the El Golfo crater. This unique landmark is located in the province of Yaiza, not far from Timanfaya.

During the period of six years of eruptions, one happened here, but the place is not remarkable for this. We have already chosen craters on the surface of the Earth and have seen enough of them, but we have not yet been lucky enough to see a crater in the ocean. That’s what we came here for…

El Golfo is half of the crater of an underwater volcano that has survived today for many hundreds of years that have passed since the eruption. The ocean rages in these places and changes the shape and shape of the coast, not sparing the volcanic cones.

Yes, yes, this is not a beach, this semicircle was a dangerous epicenter of volcanic lava accumulation.

The outlines are very distinct, however, most tourists unknowingly do not even pay attention to this amazing place.

This happens for the following reasons: from the crater along the mountains there is a fenced path to …

… to the Green Lagoon of Lago Verde (Lago Verde):

Lago Verde (Lago Verde)

The outlines in the Laguna area are very similar to a semicircle and also give the impression that these are blurred edges of a crater.

It is possible to go down and find yourself between the raging ocean and the lake of unreal color, although there are signs warning about the prohibition of movement on the slope of the mountain leading down. The slope is striking, the colors of which change like a palette from almost black to scarlet.

The Green Lagoon (Lago Verde) is not a fresh lake, but a lagoon connected to the ocean by underwater springs up to 10 meters deep. The combination of the blue ocean, black volcanic sand, shades of rocks from red to gray and green color of the water betray this place not only unearthly view, you can’t believe your own eyes that you can even see this. Revisit the film “Million years before our era”, does not it remind you of anything ??))

You know, even the phrase “This makes life worth living!” comes to mind!

Canarians affectionately call their pride Charco los Ciclos (Green Lagoon).

So why is it green?

Most often, the color of the water is associated with a large amount of semi-precious stone olivine (chrysolite), which is located at the bottom. But this is how many green stones there must be in order for the water to have such a rich color ???

Dear readers, in nature, there are varieties of planktonic organisms that can color the water yellow or red, and in the case of Lago Verde, the same thing happened, only a reservoir overloaded with nutrients is painted green by planktonic algae. And as for whether there is olivine at the bottom of the Laguna or not, one can only guess …

Well, we left this amazing place with a feeling of admiration and pride that we were lucky enough to see this beauty.

Lunch in a fishing village

After Timanfaya Park, El Golfo and Lago Verde, we were pretty hungry. Since Lanzarote is located on the ocean, you want to dine exclusively by eating seafood. Just in the village of El Golfo there are several fish restaurants for the locals, so to speak, “from the ocean to the table.”

On Sundays, friendly and sociable Canarians gather with the whole family or a large group and go to dinner at one of the El Golfo restaurants, having previously booked a table, so on weekends you may not be able to eat delicious fresh seafood.

Tip: Since the restaurants of El Golfo are close to Lago Verde, it would be ideal to dine here, as at sunset Lago Verde looks even more breathtaking and shimmers with different shades. This place is soothing.

In addition to a pleasant meal, we also wanted to enjoy the view of the raging elements, so we chose a restaurant with a terrace.

The wind, like everywhere else in Lanzarote, does not allow us to take off our outerwear, but we have already begun to get used to it . .. seafood without white wine. We chose the fine wine Malvasia made in Lanzarote.

The service was quite fast, soon they brought us octopuses and we started to eat.

The ancient capital of the island of Lanzarote — Teguise (Teguise)

Even before the trip to the island, in correspondence with the guide, we agreed that we would visit the traditional Sunday fair for Lanzarote in the ancient capital of the island of Teguise. Usually at lunchtime, the fair on the streets of the city is in full swing: the roads in the center are blocked, tents with things are set up on the streets, and in a certain place even with food, music plays in the square and local artists perform. We expected to see just such a Spanish wound, having arrived here at about two o’clock in the afternoon …

Come on Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm and you will find everything!

We have already been to similar markets, for example, on the Spanish island of Mallorca in the ancient city of Alcudia , so we understood the atmosphere of such events, but here in Lanzarote we were disappointed. By the time we arrived, the merchants had already begun to fold, and some did not trade at all that day. First, I’ll tell you a little about what I saw here and what is remarkable about the city of Teguise, and then I’ll tell you why we were unlucky with the market that day.

Teguise on the map

So, there are few stalls, literally along a dozen small streets.

The goods are not unusual as I expected to see, mostly fakes and handmade :

In addition to the market, there is something to pay attention to in the city.

Teguise (Teguise) the ancient capital of Lanzarote, ten kilometers from the current capital of Arrecife. The Normans founded a city here in 1418. But Teguise did not always have such a name. Initially, it was Akatife, but in honor of the daughter of the last king of the Guanches, he was named Teguise. The Guanches are considered local tribes that have inhabited the islands of the Canary archipelago since ancient times. Teguise has two main cultural attractions: the Church of Saint Guadeloupe (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe) and the Spinola Palace (Palacio Spínola). The church is located on Constitution Square, where festivities take place during Sunday fairs.

Santa Barbara (Castillo de Guanapay), built on top of a volcano, defended the city from enemy attacks.

Capital of the island of Lanzarote

In 1852, the capital was moved to the city of Arrecife, where it remains to this day. This is the largest port of the island , the city in which about sixty thousand people live . The capital and the island were protected from pirate attacks by two forts built in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries: Castillo de San Jose and Castillo de San Gabriel

Back to Teguise and its Sunday fair:

We did not find anything unusual and remarkable at the fair, so we went to the shop from the Aloe factory located here on Constitution Square . ..

Aloe 3 there are a lot of places where you can buy natural cosmetics made from aloe and even juice on Lansarte. Below are the addresses to make it easier for you to choose the one closest to you. Unless, of course, you decide to go to the Aloe plantation and visit the museum, where you will be told in Spanish or English about the production technology and features of the properties of aloe.

We knew in advance what was happening, so we just went to the store. As always in Spain, the store is not just a door and a sign, it is a whole installation on the theme:

Inside, the same aloe grows along the wall:

to buy for yourself and as a gift.

So we bought face creams, gel for external use and aloe juice for internal use.

Prices can be easily seen in the photo below.

Tip: aloe juice, like any natural juice, is not recommended to drink without diluting, otherwise the mucous membranes can be damaged. It is very beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to proceed as follows: a tablespoon of aloe juice in half a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach half an hour before meals. An open jar should be stored in the refrigerator and shaken before use.

As I promised, I’m telling you why on Sunday all the merchants closed their stalls.

Spain’s Three Kings

Spain, and Lanzarote is no exception, celebrates the Three Kings on January 5th. This is a big event, accompanied by a procession along the main streets of cities. The procession is led by three kings on horseback or on foot, who scatter sweets and sweets around. To pick up a candy is to pick up luck, it is considered so in Spain, so everyone rushes after them. In fact, all this is very reminiscent of the Biblical story, and the three kings are the three wise men who brought gifts to Jesus on his birthday.

The market quickly closed as people dispersed to prepare for the holiday. In Lanzarote, it is not customary to announce shortened trading days, all these things are obvious to the Canarians. Still a holiday!

By the way, not only the Three Kings Festival in Lanzarote attracts local residents. There are far more traditional celebrations that the people of Lanzarote can boast of.

Feast of Corpus Christi (Corpus Cristi)
Both in mainland Spain and in the Canary Islands, a holiday with religious overtones is popular, a characteristic feature of which are carpet-pictures of fresh flowers.

Lanzarote may not boast of lush vegetation, but the island has found a way to participate in the holiday.

The island of Tenerife makes sand carpets, and on the eve of the feast of Corpus Christi, tourists can admire this spectacle. But in Lanzarote, the paintings are laid out from colored salt mined at the salt works on the island, which will be discussed in our article. Paintings on a religious theme were laid out on sidewalks and even roads, blocking the movement of cars.

Since we did not wander around the market for a long time, we soon set off on a journey towards new experiences

Lanzarote wine road

It would seem like it would be possible to grow grapes on desert land without the proper amount of moisture. But on the island they learned not only to grow grapes, but also to do it in such a way that if you try amazing wine from the island of Lanzarote, you are unlikely to ever forget its taste.

Wine Malvasia is a wonderful wine that is found even in the works of W. Shakespeare, although it appears there as Canary. Many well-known personality stories appreciated and consumed this fine wine at dinner.

But Lanzarote was changing, long-term eruptions turned the island into a lifeless lava desert and there were less and less places where grapes could be grown. People have adapted to the volcanic soil (picon) and found huge advantages in it. A special technology of planting in special round recesses at a certain distance, fenced with a stony semicircular stone fence. The wind brings moisture, the gaps between the stones allow it to settle on the lava soil and, thanks to its porous structure, the moisture reaches the vine.

La Geria is a wine road from Uga to San Bartolome. Here, on both sides, there are endless vineyards stretching along the plains and mountain slopes. There are bodegas (wineries) along the road, among which there are the oldest and most modern, rich and modest, but everyone deserves attention. You can stop near any and go to a shop located there to buy a bottle of good wine that is not exported to the mainland.

In addition to the usual dry wine, they have also learned how to make semi-sweet wines without any added sugar. Therefore, the wine of Lanzarote will find its admirers in any case.

Stone fences are always made by hand in a semicircle and always on the side from which the winds in this area are most frequent. During their construction, neither mortar nor other sweeps are used, the stones hold on to each other due to their different shapes and sharp edges.

We drove quickly along the wine road, because there were still very interesting places ahead of us, and the time had long passed past noon.

Los Hervideros (

Los Hervideros)
What is Los Hervideros?

The translation of this beautiful phrase is alarming: bubbling cauldrons. Everyone can absolutely free to see the place where the powerful and recalcitrant ocean meets volcanic rocks.

The entire coast here is lava, which erupted for six years and then solidified, forming whole tens of kilometers of a new coast, frightening with its unusual beauty. The porous structure of lava rocks allows ocean water to wash away underground grottoes and tunnels in them, and curious tourists from multi-level viewing platforms watch the riot of waves in lava crevices. Water seems to boil in holes and caves. Here you can walk for a long time along special paths through the lava jungle and find more and more picturesque panoramic sites.

Olivine stones, already familiar to you, which are widely used for the production of silver jewelry, can be bought here for 2 euros. But we began to do this, since very soon they will be with us for free. Don’t believe? Read on the article!

I used to be amazed by the raging ocean, but when I saw how it rages on the lava coast created by nature, I realized that this island is just a storehouse for unique wonders created by nature. A few centuries ago, there was only water and wind here, and now we stand and watch how the tides change ebb and the water either rises hiding low observation platforms under the bursts of waves, or recedes, allowing you to see all the nooks and crannies of the volcanic caves of these places. Log Ervideros is worth seeing!

Los Ervideros video:

Salinas del Janubio (

Salinas del Janubio)
Salinas del Janubio ( Salinas del Janubio) as well as all the important places in our article today located in the southwest of Lanzarote. The village of Yaysa, which we have already fallen in love with, can become a reference point. This is the largest saltworks in the Canary Islands.

You can admire the views of these places at any time of the day, but this place is especially beautiful at sunset.

Salinas del Janubio has not always attracted tourists, but the production of salt here used to be much higher than today’s figures. In the Canarian archipelago, there were a quarter of a hundred places of extraction and production of salt, while now this figure has decreased several times. In Lanzarote, demand fell largely due to the fact that the fish processing plant, which was the consumer of the salt produced, was closed. Now Salinas Saltworks, one of the three remaining, and its activities are not so much industrial as cultural and historical significance, as it demonstrates the ancient method of extracting salt naturally.

Salt production in Lanzarote:

Salt has been mined since the last century and little has changed since then, except for some modern improvements. Water from the ocean through narrow specially arranged channels and with the help of wooden levers regulating the flow in the right amount and in the right direction enters special ponds. The water then naturally evaporates and the salt remains. The smaller one is used for industrial purposes, and the good large one in crystals is used for food. Lanzarote itself is able to provide the need for salt for residents and guests of the island.

Moving on..

Black beach with olivines

I have already mentioned the semi-precious stone – olivine, which may be at the bottom of the green lagoon of Lago Verde. Finally, we arrived at a black sand beach, where you can not only enjoy fantastic views of the ocean, but also collect olivines on the coast.

Yes, yes, right in the sand and stones here you can collect a handful of stones absolutely free of charge. This is not only an exciting process and hunting for green stones, but also such a kind of anti-stress. Walk along the ocean shore, sinking your feet in the sand and collect pebbles for jewelry in a jar. Can you imagine what an unusual and incredible experience!?

Olivine is everywhere, even part of the big boulders. But we did not pick them out, because without such measures you can simply find pebbles in the sand.

And here is the olivine:

In a couple of minutes the catch was in hand:

will wait for new olive trees brought by the waves.

And here is what we collected in 15 minutes on the beach:

Since we also planned to visit the crater of the volcano, that is, to climb directly to it on foot, we did not linger on the beach.

Olivine beach video:

Ravens Volkano volcano crater

We arrived in Tias Municipality to climb the volcano after five hours ..

Despite the great desire to go, there were a number of reasons Against this. The first factor is my shoes. She just wasn’t good enough. Of course, I bought sneakers, but the next day I didn’t have time to get to the volcano. The second reason is time. It was already getting dark and the sun was setting. On this day, it was not very warm anyway, and a walk of several kilometers in the shade and wind was not included in the plans of my relatives. The third reason is that there is no strength left at all … If you scroll up the article, you will understand how many interesting places we have already visited that day and no matter how much we would like to, there is no strength left for that trip.

Tip: Shoes for visiting the crater must be closed, comfortable and without heels! This is important, since volcanic rocks are brittle and sharp, you can fall through, cut yourself and even pierce your leg. In addition, in places where you will need to walk on volcanic sand, it is important not to pile sand into shoes.

The path to the crater will be closer if you go around it from the right side, you can also go to the left, but the walk will take longer.

It will take from 40 minutes to an hour and a half to visit the La Azomada Volcano Crater, depending on the pace at which you walk and how long you spend getting to the coveted crater.

And here is the crater to which you can and should go:

By and large, in the two days of our tour, we, though rather superficially, saw almost all the significant places of the island. Our guide Elena did an incredible two day tour and introduced us to beautiful Lanzarote.

Lanzarote will remain in memory forever, it strikes on the spot with its unusual and frightening beauty!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not the end of my story about the Other Island and I will definitely devote another article to it. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, I suggest you read Article Lanzarote: an unreal journey to Mars .

The unique atmosphere of Lanzarote is fundamentally different from the tropical paradise that reigns on other islands of the Canary archipelago. Its volcanic landscapes evoke strong associations of being on another planet or in a fantasy world inhabited by unknown inhabitants. And most of the attractions of Lanzarote
only reinforce the initial impressions.
The most famous place on the island is Timanfaya – a national park that amazes tourists with lunar-Martian landscapes and an incredible number of volcanoes located in a small area. Few people will be left indifferent by a lunch in a restaurant above the mouth of a volcano and a fire show arranged for visitors. The legacy of ancient eruptions are the inimitable galleries of the underground caves of Los Verdes and Jameos, whose bizarre forms frighten and fascinate. The skill of the legendary architect Cesar Manrique turned one of them into a unique natural and architectural complex with an artificial lagoon and an underground concert hall. No less interesting are other creations of the master: the Mirador del Rio observation deck, a luxurious cactus garden and the former architect’s house, harmoniously integrated into the volcanic landscape.

The Canary Islands have long been rightfully considered a place of elite recreation. The islands are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and consist of 7 large and several small islands.

Island of Volcanoes

The fourth largest island in the Canary archipelago Lanzarote is called the “island of volcanoes”
. It is complex, like a bizarre mosaic, of unique multi-tiered caves, beaches, plantations of vineyards, cacti and, of course, the sun. Scientists suggest that the age of the island is approximately 15 million years. This is the easternmost island of the Canarian archipelago, located about 125 km from the coast of Africa and 1000 km from the Iberian Peninsula.

The island got its name from the name of the Genoese merchant Lancelotto Malocello, who arrived on the island in the 14th century. The coastline of the island stretches for 213 km, of which 10 km are covered with sand, and the rest is a rocky coast. The beach is located at 16.5 km. Extravagant mountain ranges were formed after numerous eruptions and lava flows that spread along the slopes, giving them bizarre shapes.

The demon is the emblem of the island
. This is explained by the fact that the first inhabitants of the island perceived the volcanic eruptions as the work of the devil. The largest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736.

During 2.053 days of eruptions, lava covered ¼ of the surface of the entire island, including the most fertile soil, and buried 11 villages under it. The island was actually deprived of forest cover and only succulents and lichens managed to take root in Lanzarote. The drought that affected the island in 1768 and the lack of rain during the winter led to the emigration of the population to America and Cuba.

The next volcanic eruption occurred in 1824, but in terms of its strength it was less destructive than the main one. But it also led to the exodus of the indigenous population. Today, the island has about 140,000 inhabitants, 73.9% of which are Spaniards.

How to get to Lanzarote

There is no direct flight connection to this fabulous island from Moscow or Kyiv. You can fly to the airport of the largest island of the Canary archipelago – Tenerife, and then, having made a transfer, fly to the island of Lanzarote.

There are also excellent transport links to other resort areas.

The cost of a flight between the Canary Islands, which will last 50 minutes, will cost approximately 80€.

Towns and resorts of Lanzarote

Since 1927, Lanzarote, along with another Canary Island – Fuerteventura, became part of the Las Palmas region and was territorially divided into seven municipalities:

Arrecife,

San Bartolome,

Haria,

Tias,

Yaisa,

Tinaho,

Teguise, which includes Isla de la Graciosa and four small islets, to which Taiche also belongs.

Tenerife – a detailed guide to the Spanish island of eternal spring and not all parents want to bore their little ones.A good alternative is a holiday in mainland Spain, our review tells.

The capital of the island Arrecife owes its name to a mountain reef
, which is why Aressife is translated from Spanish as “reef”. The streets of the city reflect the unique maritime character and literally breathe history.

The first mention of Arrecife dates back to the 15th century, when this city was still a small fishing village. Black volcanic reefs, behind which boats hid, protected fishermen from sudden pirate attacks. In the XVI century. the settlement began to grow actively, and the first church dedicated to the first bishop of San Gines was erected on its territory.

Puerto del Carmen beaches

Playa Grande or Playa Blanca

Ideal for families with children
, as it is covered with golden sand, there are no winds, the waters of the ocean are calm and the shore canopy. Its length is 900m, maximum width – 100m. On the beach there is a rental of umbrellas and sun loungers, a shower and a wide range of water activities.

Playa de los Pocillos

The golden sandy beach is just above sea level, so the tides leave small “lakes”. Previously, sea salt was mined here by the old method of evaporation in the sun.

This is the longest and widest beach in the resort. Its length is 1.600m, the maximum width is 170m (at low tide it can reach 200m). Because of the winds, it is not so attractive for families with children. On its territory there is a rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, a shower, but there are no water activities here.

Playa Matagorda

The golden sandy beach gently starts from Playa de los Pocillos and ends at the Beatriz Playa hotel. It is also windy, its length is 1.000m, the maximum width is 60m. Umbrellas with sun loungers and showers are provided for vacationers. There are no water activities.

The resort has no history of turning a fishing village into a beautiful city. It was created artificially on an uninhabited stretch of coast about 40 years ago. The coast is always windy, so Costa Teguise has become a favorite destination for windsurfers and kiters.

Beaches Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise has 5 beaches:

Las Cucharas

Translated from Spanish, the name translates as “spoons”. The length of the beach, covered with fine light sand, is 700m, the width is 60m. On the beach, guests can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, showers.

There are no water activities, so for the impressions of walking on the ocean and catching exotic fish, you will have to go to the nearby Puerto del Carmen or its suburb – Puerto Calero. The beach was chosen by windsurfers, as a moderate wind does not stop blowing even for a minute.

But near the Melia Salinas, the wind is calmer, so the waves are calmer, and beach lovers are already basking in the sun on a wider beach.

Playa de los Charcos

Windy beach with fine light sand. Entry into the waters of the ocean is hampered by stones. But the beach, with a length of 310m and a width of 30m, is protected from the waves. There are water activities, umbrellas with sun loungers and showers.

El Jabillo

The length of the rocky beach in some places is 180m, the width is 20m. The waves are low here. Near the beach is the Grand Teguise Playa Hotel. There is no entertainment and soul, only the rental of sun loungers and umbrellas works.

Playa Bastian

Differs from the rest in darker sand. There are few vacationers here, since entry into the ocean is difficult due to the rocky descent. The length of the western beach is 300m, its maximum width is 35m.

Playa Ancla

A small nice and cozy beach with a length of 120m and a width of 30m, visited mainly by guests of nearby hotels. There are no water activities, a shower, and even rental of umbrellas with sun loungers. Nearby is the residence of the King of Spain.

Attractions and activities Costa Teguise

The center of Costa Teguise is centered around Pueblo Marinero, an ornamental fishing village designed by Cesar Manrique. Also, according to the project of Manrique, ordered by King Hussein of Jordan, one of the four residences of the King of Spain, La Mareta, was built. She was presented by Hussein to the Spanish king Juan Carlos as a wedding present.

La Mareta is a rather modest building, on the territory of which there is a helipad. The residence is carefully guarded, and curious tourists are not allowed to enter here.

Costa Teguise has numerous bars and restaurants
, and once a week on Fridays there is a market where they sell clothes, cheap jewelry and souvenirs. Those who wish can go with specially organized flights from Costa Teguise to a huge market in the city of Teguise, which takes place on Sundays.

The market offers original handmade souvenirs
craftsmen. After shopping in the administrative capital of the coast, you can stroll around the city – the old capital of the island with a long history.

The settlement was named Teguise after the daughter of the last native king who lived in the 15th century. One of the streets of the city is called “Bloody” in memory of the events when most of the inhabitants were brutally killed in one of the numerous raids of pirates.

Also, the fortress on Mount Castillo de Santa Barbara is named after its owner, who was canonized for the fact that she was martyred without giving the pirates a place of refuge for her servants. She is the patroness of the city, and Spanish Catholics always commemorate her day in churches.

Among the objects of interest is Spinoza’s palace, which was originally the residence of the governor-general, and then passed to later owners – merchants from Genoa.

The palace is now a museum and its richly decorated interior impresses visitors. It is also worth visiting one of the oldest churches in the Canary Islands, the Nuestra Señora de Guadelupe church, and then strolling along the stone-paved streets with numerous sights.

Dinner in a cave or a table under water: a guide to the most unusual restaurants in Spain

Spain is famous throughout the world for its rich national cuisine.

But even more than the food itself, tourists from all over the world are surprised by some establishments in this country. The Spaniards love to impress with originality, and the national cuisine is no exception. To make sure of this, UNIAN.Tourism has prepared a selection of the most unusual restaurants in Spain. As soon as the opportunity arises, be sure to visit one of them.

A restaurant in an ancient cave0011 Restaurant La Cueva del Lobo . It is proud not only of its delicious Spanish cuisine, but also of the fact that it is located in a labyrinth of prehistoric caves. Most of these caves have been producing wine for about 250 years, and since 1992 a gourmet restaurant has also appeared here.

The interior of the restaurant harmoniously combines the natural environment and the cozy atmosphere of an elite establishment. Optionally, visitors can choose a VIP room – La Cueva del Lobo offers to relax and dine in spacious or small caves, where no one will disturb you.

In this cozy and not quite familiar atmosphere, you can taste simple but delicious dishes that are in harmony with the surroundings of the restaurant. Prices in the institution, as for Spain, are average: a grilled steak costs 19.50 euros; lamb chops – 17 euros; salads – from 7 to 12 euros. There is also a huge wine cellar (about 30 thousand bottles), including wines produced in the local distillery caves. For a bottle you will have to pay from 12 to 30 euros.

Dessert restaurant
Restaurant Espai Sucre (meaning “sweet place” in Catalan) was opened in Barcelona in February 2000. It is still the only dessert restaurant in the world. The technique and experience of local confectioners are ready to please the most whimsical sweet tooth, and these are not just words.

The menu of the restaurant includes the most incredible desserts from goat cheesecake to lemon soup. Moreover, in order to surprise visitors, the confectioners of the establishment boldly experiment with tastes. For example, they combine sweet with salty, spicy or spicy. How about black olive ice cream or strawberry radish pudding? Unusual. But, they say, our brain really likes such combinations and contributes to the release of serotonin, the “good mood” hormone. The price of each dessert is an average of 10-12 euros.

For those who want to try their hand at creating a delicious dessert, Espai Sucre also offers a variety of courses that teach skills in everything from restaurant-style pastry making to chocolate application.

Restaurant in the mouth of a volcano
Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands and is famous for its countless geysers and volcanoes. One of its main attractions is the Hilario volcano, which last erupted in 1824.

Tourists used to come to the island for thrills, to admire the local landscapes and active volcanoes, setting up tents on the island and drinking wine with sardines. But in 1970 everything changed. It was on the Ilario volcano that the famous Spanish architect and designer Cesar Manrique designed the restaurant El Diablo . And since then, crowds of people come to the island to dine in such an unusual and extreme place.

It is worth saying that the construction of the El Diablo building was a real miracle. It is very difficult to lay a foundation in a place where the temperature of the rock reaches + 400-500 degrees. But, on the other hand, this heat is the hallmark of the place. After all, it is he who allows the restaurant to work autonomously, without using gas or electricity for cooking.

During construction, a hole was left inside the restaurant, which was lined with stones, put a grate on it, and is now used as a grill. Appetizing steaks, chicken and fish are fried right above the mouth of the volcano in a matter of minutes. If you wish, you can watch the magical preparation of your dinner on the “hellish” fire. Such is the unity with nature and sitting on a powder keg at the same time.

El Diablo’s menu is very simple. If you are a fan of rack of lamb or fricassee, then you may not like it here. The food of a restaurant on a volcano can be compared to the one you cook on a mayovka: grilled vegetables, fried chicken, sausages, mushrooms, steaks. The only difference is the background. After all, your dish is cooked on a volcano, and you can even feel this specific smoke. Regarding prices, judge for yourself how justified they are. Half a fried chicken at the mouth of a volcano costs 13 euros. This price includes meat served with fresh vegetables, grilled potatoes and garlic sauce.

Dinner in the dark
Forget about the classic candlelit dinner – Dans Le Noir offers dinner in absolute darkness. The first restaurant of this format was opened in Barcelona, later the network expanded to London, New York and Paris.

Unlike other restaurants, Dans le Noir is completely free of fuss and calls for a sensory experience that awakens the inner sense of smells and atmosphere. After all, it’s not a secret for anyone that in complete darkness, when vision is turned off, the perception of tastes and smells is exacerbated. Even the most familiar dishes seem new.

By the way, in Dans le Noir restaurants, guests are accompanied and served by blind or visually impaired waiters, which is a unique practice in the world.

At the entrance, guests are introduced to the concept of the establishment and offered a choice of one of the “surprise menus”, each of which includes three dishes. Menus are divided into several main groups: meat, fish, vegetarian and mixed. Before accepting an order, you will be given a price limit – from 35 to 60 euros per person, excluding drinks. The idea of the surprise menu is that the guest does not know for sure what dishes he will be served, only general categories. This ancient concept is called “blind tasting”.

The use of telephones and lighters is prohibited throughout the dinner, which lasts about two hours. At the end of the meal, the lights are turned on and the secret of what they ate is revealed to the guests. Only 10% of visitors guess which dish was on the plates and which wine was in the glasses.

Many visitors to Dans le Noir note that the restaurant has very good food, because the chef does not cook for show, but focuses on quality and excellent taste. Also, restaurant guests claim that portions in Dans le Noir are quite small, tasting, so after a “blind” meal, you can leave with a slight feeling of hunger.

Restaurant in the underwater world
Valencia has a unique underwater restaurant Submarino . It is located inside Europe’s largest water oceanographic complex.

The futuristic design of the restaurant imitates the shape of giant waves, while its lighting and decorations immerse in the atmosphere of the underwater kingdom. All the walls of the institution are completely glass, thanks to which a stunning spectacle opens up. Just imagine: you are having lunch surrounded by many silvery fish and unusual stingrays swimming past your table. Vivid impressions are guaranteed!

Submarino is a gourmet restaurant. Specializing mainly in fish dishes, the institution offers visitors traditional modern Valencian dishes made by an eminent French chef.

It is worth mentioning that it is not possible to order individual dishes at lunchtime. The menu is represented by several sets (from 34 to 45 euros). This price includes 2 starters: cold/hot appetizers, dessert and main hot course. Many advise trying Spanish cold soup – gazpacho in this restaurant. They say you will not find the best in the whole of Valencia. Often it is served as a compliment from the establishment. Also popular at Submarino is avocado tartare with fresh scallop and plankton, while gourmets will love foie gras in chocolate.

However, please note that due to the popularity of the establishment, a table reservation is required in advance. This can be done on the official website of the restaurant.

The oldest restaurant in the world

Founded in 1725, Casa Botin in Madrid is the oldest restaurant in the world, as confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records. According to Spanish laws, in those days it was strictly forbidden to sell wine, meat and many other products in such establishments, as this could interfere with the work of sellers. Therefore, in the restaurant, the chefs prepared only what each visitor brought.

Casa Botin is also famous for the fact that in 1765 the future famous artist Francisco Goya worked here. He took a job as a dishwasher while he waited for the decision of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts about his acceptance. And during the First World War, the restaurant was converted into a canteen for soldiers.

An institution with a rich history is located on one of the central squares of the capital of Spain – Plaza Mayor. Casa Botin offers the most classic Spanish cuisine. Here you can try suckling pig or lamb roasted over a firewood in the same way as it was cooked on the opening day of Casa Botin.

As for prices, they are quite affordable for an institution of this level – from 7 to 30 euros per dish. This is a good feature of many restaurants in Madrid. Of course, if you order eel fry, which are cooked in Casa Botin, you will have to fork out: the delicacy costs 102 euros per serving. If you have a more modest budget, but want to try something like that, take a melon with ham for 22 euros or cuttlefish in your own ink baked with rice for 19.85. Desserts here are also affordable – about 6 euros each. You can also order a branded menu – the so-called “offer of the season”. For example, it can be gazpacho, roasted pig, ice cream, bread, wine, beer or mineral water to choose from. This set costs 44.15 euros. The portions are big enough for two people to eat.

For dinner at Casa Botin, it is best to book a table in advance, because there are always a lot of people here. However, during lunch hours you can get without a reservation. Also a feature of the restaurant is its opening hours. It is open for lunch from 13:00 to 16:00 and for dinner from 20:00 to 24:00.

Dinner in the sky over Barcelona

When visiting Barcelona, don’t miss the opportunity to dine in the air. This is not a figurative expression, but the pure truth – the meal really takes place at a height of 50 meters in the very center of the city, above the Plaza de España.

The “flying” restaurant Dinner In The Sky , which can be found in many other tourist cities around the world, has been operating in Barcelona for about 10 years.

The platform is raised on a special installation with 22 guests on board. During lunch, a waiter, a chef, an artist and a security officer work in the air restaurant.

Enjoying foie gras, washing it down with expensive Dom Perignon champagne and watching what is happening below from a bird’s eye view is not the cheapest pleasure (meals cost 250-350 euros, an aperitif – 170 euros). And if this is not enough for you and you want complete romance, you can order musicians on the second platform who will play classical music very close by, creating an incredibly relaxing atmosphere.

The session lasts up to an hour and a half (except for direct lunch or dinner) and may include entertainment, DJs or even dancers. All this, combined with panoramic views of Barcelona and an overview of the “singing fountains” show at the foot of Montjuic, leaves an indelible impression for a lifetime.

If classic restaurants are already boring for you, you should pay attention to one of these establishments during your next trip to Spain. Even if it is not on the path of your tourist route, do not be too lazy to adjust your plans to get to one of these restaurants. After all, this is not just a dinner with wine in a pleasant environment. This is a whole performance – sometimes extreme, sometimes intriguing – which, no doubt, will be remembered for a lifetime and will be worth all the money spent.

Barbecue grill on the volcano: an unusual Spanish restaurant El Diablo

Receive one of the most read articles in the mail once a day. Join us on Facebook and VKontakte.

A unique restaurant located on the island of Lanzarote. There are always a lot of visitors here, because today the volcano does not pose any danger. Rather, it resembles a hole in the earth through which volcanic heat escapes from the depths of the Earth.

Tourists used to make do with sardines and wine until the resourceful César Manric decided in 1970 to use the volcano as a huge natural grill. The construction of the restaurant was not easy, as high temperatures made it impossible to lay the foundation at the right depth. It was decided to use nine layers of basalt stone as the base.

The menu of the restaurant will pleasantly surprise true gourmets with an abundance of meat and fish dishes! However, delicious food is not the only reason to visit this place. The picturesque landscape attracts many tourists who want to dine at sunset (by the way, a transfer from the hotel and dinner in a restaurant will cost about 50 euros)! And for those who prefer water expanses to mountain peaks, the world’s first underwater restaurant in the Maldives is quite suitable! It is located at a depth of just over five meters and is surrounded by coral reefs, which allows you to watch the fish swimming by while the most exquisite seafood is cooked.

And most importantly, everything is environmentally friendly. After all, gas and electricity are not wasted for cooking. The idea is just great. I would also like to visit this restaurant.

Fry meat on the volcano, cook borscht on the reactor. Somewhat shallow, down to earth. and it’s a shame for the volcano :))

Of course, an interesting place, but I would not want to go there, it’s not for nothing that the saying is “like on a volcano.”

The main thing is that in this way it is possible to divert the excess energy of the volcano to a useful and tasty event!

This is exotic!
And about the fact that it’s scary, they don’t roast meat on Vesuvius. I would love to visit there. Where else can you get that!

I would call this extreme cuisine. Well, by God, you won’t give another definition. I myself would not go to such a place to eat, but for the idea, my plus.

As appetizingly described, I immediately wanted to go to Spain, or at least to a Spanish restaurant, although with a strong desire, a Spanish dish can be made at home, for example, Angelica Kashirina offers an original recipe for Spanish paella, under the original name “Spaniard’s Heart”: it will require: package of sea cocktail, 200 g of rice, 2 carrots, 2 onions, 200 ml of cream, spices. Fry finely chopped onions and grated carrots in a pan, add seafood, spices and simmer until tender. Mix the boiled rice with seafood, pour in the cream and simmer for another 10 minutes. Garnish with herbs if desired and serve hot. The birthplace of paella is Valencia. According to legend, the dish was invented by a poor fisherman. He was preparing dinner for his beloved: to fish and shrimp, which he caught in the sea, he added products that were found in the house – rice, saffron and garlic. The fisherman called his creation “For her” (in Spanish – para ella). Paella is a pleasure to cook outdoors, so it is a pleasure to eat it at picnics and weddings. The cooking ritual is accompanied by jokes and fun. Paella is somewhat reminiscent of Uzbek pilaf, only meat is added there, and seafood here. Enjoy your meal!

Yes, the restaurant is just for fans of extreme sports, and the name of the restaurant really matches it! And the panorama of the mountains opening up to the eyes is really magnificent!

Cooking stuffed zucchini and eggplant has long taken root in Russia, but meanwhile stuffed eggplant is a national Spanish dish. Here’s how to cook it in the Spanish spirit: In Spain they love eggplant and eggplant-based dishes. Stuffed eggplants with Bechamel sauce are no exception.
Ingredients of the dish: eggplant – 2 pieces, meat (beef or pork) – 200 g, tomatoes – 2 pieces, carrots – 1 piece, onion – 2 pieces, vegetable oil, greens (parsley, cilantro), black pepper ground, Bechamel sauce – 200-250 g, salt. Cooking recipe: In order to cook stuffed eggplant, it is not necessary to stand at the stove all day. Cooking will take a minimum of time. Rinse eggplant, cut lengthwise. On the pulp of the eggplant, make notches with a knife in the form of a lattice, salt, sprinkle with oil and put in the oven. Bake eggplant at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Finely chop the onion and lightly fry in vegetable oil. Rinse the meat, cut into small pieces and add to the onion. Grate the carrots, cut the tomatoes into cubes and add everything to the onion and meat. Season with salt and simmer over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked. Extract the pulp from the baked eggplant and combine with stew and vegetables, chop everything in a blender. Stuff the eggplant halves with prepared minced meat and vegetables and place on a baking sheet. Top the eggplants with bechamel sauce and place in the oven. Bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Of course it’s interesting, the menu of dishes not of their own culture. Different products, different cooking, of course we have our everyday menu, the same salads vareniki and borscht, we know them by heart. I would visit each country and try one dish.

“El Diablo” restaurant, which warmed up on the volcano

It is next to this restaurant in Spain that all tourists are shown shows with artificial geysers. It’s worth looking at. The temperature inside the crater ranges from 400 to 500 °C. Such an exotic restaurant is located in the most unusual place, namely in the mouth of a volcano. It is amazing that the chef prepares dishes on a natural grill. There is simply no other place like it on the planet. Tourists are brought to the restaurant on specialized buses, not everyone can get here, since the price tag for a vacation in the Canary Islands has the status of “200 +”. Thus one can only dream of visiting Timanfaya National Park.

Lanzarote is famous for its geysers and moonscapes. The valley of volcanoes has a total of 880 pieces. Even 30 years ago, when volcanoes were active, the path to the island was closed for tourists. Everything beautiful that can be seen on the island was created by the hand of the great master – Caesar Manrique. By and large, the creation of Timanfaya Park is his idea and merit. Not every person would be able to think of creating a resort area on volcanoes that show minimal activity, and the Ed Diablo restaurant, which was created according to his sketches, is a real work of art. For the safety of guests, shows with artificial geysers can be watched while in the restaurant. The restaurant has become the main decoration of Mount Hilarius. It is from the restaurant that the bus tour of the park of volcanoes on the island of Lanzarote starts.

The size of the restaurant is enormous. I am amazed by the imagination of the great master of our time, Caesar Manrique, who was not afraid to open it in a place where, at a depth of only 10 cm, the soil temperature is +100 °C. The main feature of the restaurant is bricks, which are made of lava. Interesting building material , isn’t it? The place for the construction of the restaurant was not chosen by chance. Firstly, the hottest crater is located here, and secondly, on the top of Mount Hilarius, it was possible to equip an observation deck.

All windows in the restaurant are panoramic. This was done so that guests could enjoy the valley of geysers and the lava desert. The restaurant was opened in 1980. The curiosity of the restaurant is the tree around which it was built. The remnants of the fig tree are still crackling in a protective flask, right in the middle of the restaurant. Since guests of the Canary Islands often compare the island of Lanzarote with Mars or the Moon, according to the author of the project, the restaurant was supposed to have the shape of a spaceship and, in my opinion, he succeeded in recreating the idea.

European Seasonal Weather Forecast January 2022 – EuroTempest

EuroTempest has issued its final assessment of seasonal weather forecasts and climate signals for the winter period, broken down by the main regions across Europe where differences can be detected. The summary assessment covers the next three months: January, February and March (JFM). This assessment includes results from an analysis of climate drivers from previous years. The analysis has looked at periods, termed analogue years, when climate signals have shown a similar pattern to those exhibited currently.

The possibility of a significant windstorm within the coming months remains though there are few indications of a sustained period of windstorm activity during Jan to Mar 2022. More unsettled (wetter than average) conditions are more likely further to the north, particularly across Scandinavia. The chance of a spell of very cold weather across northern Europe within the first few months of the year remains but is diminishing.

Storms: There are few indications that a sustained period of frequent and active low-pressure systems across northern Europe and Scandinavia is likely. However, for northern Europe especially, models and signals are providing no dominant signal or have opposing influences. The possibility of an impactful windstorm within the next few months remains although relatively settled conditions are likely for at least the next few weeks.

Precipitation: Climate models generally suggest an increased likelihood of above average seasonal precipitation totals across Scandinavia and below average totals across southern Europe. Some (but not all) models also suggest an increased likelihood of drier than average conditions across northern Europe. Climate signals generally have neutral or opposing influences though there are some indications of a wetter than average season further to the north.

Temperature: Seasonal forecast models are consistent in suggesting that the next three months are likely to be warmer than average across the whole of Europe. Climate signals indicate that the chance of a spell of very cold weather across northern Europe within the first few months of the year remains but is diminishing.

Analogue Years: Years in the historical record in which climate signals were in a similar pattern to that currently prevailing produced some notable windstorms in the few first few months of the year.

Largely settled conditions are most likely across northern Europe and Scandinavia over the next few weeks but occurrences of wetter and more unsettled conditions are likely to continue across southern Europe. There are currently no strong signals indicating the likely development of particularly unsettled or impactful weather during the end of January and into the start of February. However, wet and windy conditions typical for the time of the year are possible at times, particularly further to the north.

Floods, Record Warmth, High Winds: It’s the Winter of 2018, European Edition

When it comes to extreme weather, Europe—typically more placid than North America—has been giving its western counterpart a run for its money. Much like North America, Eurasia is getting record warmth on its west side and periods of brutal cold on its east side, along with some notable storminess and hydrologic extremes (trending toward the wet, though, as opposed to the expanding drought now gripping America).

The culprits for these dual patterns are strong, recurrent upper-level ridges over the far North Pacific and North Atlantic. These have been pushing warm air into western North America and Europe and guiding cold fronts into eastern North America and eastern Asia. They’re also feeding into a lively scientific debate on how warming across the Arctic is affecting midlatitude winters, a topic we explored in depth in a 2017 post. We’ll revisit this discussion in a forthcoming post. In the meantime, here’s a quick tour of some recent wild-weather highlights from Europe and Asia.

Floodwaters invade Paris
The Seine River in Paris reached a level of 5.71 meters (18.7 feet) at noon Saturday and is expected to crest just below the 6.07 meters (19.9 feet) produced by the destructive floods of June 2016. Both floods have topped anything else observed in the last 36 years.

Figure 1. The bar Les Nautes (right) is submerged on a flooded bank of the Seine River in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral on January 26, 2018. In its relentless rise, the Seine flooded quays with muddy water and put museums on an emergency footing as record rainfall pushed rivers over their banks across northeastern France.

This winter’s floods have been fed by enormous January rains around and upstream from Paris, with heavy snows across the French Alps. As reported by Pam Wright at weather. com, Paris racked up 183 mm (7.20”) of rain for the period Dec. 1–Jan. 21, twice the long-term average for the period and second only to the 213 mm (8.36”) recorded in 1935-36. Further up the Seine watershed, Langres had already broken its all-time January rainfall record as of Jan. 21 with 199 mm (7.83″), beating 184.8 mm (7.28″) from 1984.

This week’s flooding closed streets along the Seine and forced some 400 residents downstream from the city to evacuate. The Louvre museum—which scrambled to relocate 35,000 pieces of art in just 24 hours during the 2016 flood—closed one of its lower levels on Thursday as a precaution. Flash floods in July 2017 damaged several of the Louvre’s paintings.

Flooding in Paris inevitably brings comparisons to the city’s 1910 disaster, when the Seine rose to 8.62 meters and some 22,000 buildings were flooded. A 2014 review by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) noted that a repeat of the 1910 Paris flood could affect up to 5 million people and cause up to 30 billion Euros (about $37 billion US) in damage. OECD released an update on Tuesday: “Action to prevent the risk of major flooding in Paris and the Ile de France region has improved in recent years – particularly after the Seine burst its banks in May and June 2016 – but urban and territorial planning needs to be better adapted, governance strengthened and long-term funding clarified.”

A January “warm wave”
Wednesday was the mildest January day on record across parts of northern Europe. This includes the coastal German town of Cuxhaven, which reached 13.8°C (56.8°F). At Sønderborg, Denmark, a nationwide January heat record was set with 12.9°C (55.2°F), topping the nation’s old monthly record of 12. 4°C (54.2°F) from 2005.

Parts of western Europe now have a good shot at ending up with their warmest January on record. Geneva, Switzerland, has been running more than 1°C (1.8°F) above its previous record for the month as a whole, and France is likely to eclipse its monthly record set in 1936, 1988, and 2014 by as much as 0.3°C (0.5°F). Cannes, France, set a new monthly high on Jan. 4 with 22.9°C (73.2°F). With help from warm downslope winds, Jan. 22 saw the warmest daily lows ever recorded in January over parts of southern France, including 14.5°C (58.1°F) at Montpelier. All-time January highs were set on Monday in the Spanish cities of Valencia (26.6°C/79.9°F) and Barcelona (23.8°C/74.8°F).

At the same time that parts of the central and eastern U.S. suffered through their coldest holiday week on record, western Europe was smashing heat records. Both France and Germany had their warmest New Year’s Eve on record. An analysis by Michael Theusner (Klimahaus) showed that 183 of Germany’s 224 stations with at least 50 years of record had their warmest Dec. 31 on record. Leipzig-Holzhausen, where records began in 1863, beat its previous record-mild New Year’s Eve (1901) by 1.3°C with a high of 13.7°C (56.7°F).

Figure 3. Departures from average surface temperature (degrees C) across Europe for the period Jan. 1-25, 2018. The month was running more than 5°C (9°F) above average over parts of western Russia, with much of central and western Europe 2-4°C (3-6°F) above average.

Two destructive windstorms in one month
Winter Storm David/Friederike, which plowed across Europe last week, caused around $1 billion Euros (about $1.25 billion US) in damage across Germany, reported the nation’s federation of private insurers on Thursday. Friederike has been blamed for at least 11 deaths across Europe. The storm produced the strongest winds measured in 26 years on northern Germany’s highest mountain, the Brocken, with a top speed of 203 km/hr (126 mph).

Winter Storm Eleanor, which struck on Jan. 2-3, may also end up being ranked as a billion-dollar storm, according to Steve Bowen (Aon Benfield). Eleanor knocked out power to more than 200,000 homes in northern France.

Davos: Digging out from snow as world leaders pour in
Massive amounts of snow fell on Davos, Switzerland, in the days leading up to the start of the 46th annual World Economic Forum. As the meeting began Tuesday morning, there was 157 cm (61.8”) of dense, compacted snow on the ground, according to the Switzerland Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (which happens to be located in Davos). The snow depth was well short of the January record of 216 cm (85”), but it’s the first time such a snow dump has coincided with the high-profile Davos forum.

“In perhaps the most harrowing indignity for the plutocrats who have made the World Economic Forum their favorite winter meeting ground, even the town’s helicopter pad was closed because of the snowstorm,” reported The New York Times. “By early afternoon, a quarter-mile trip in one of the ubiquitous black luxury minivans with plush leather seats that shuttle participants around the town took nearly an hour.”

The blue line in the illustration below shows the snow depth at the Davos Stilli station, calculated every half hour by an automated measuring system. During very heavy snow, there can be so much compaction that the amount of snow on the ground holds steady or even decreases even as more snow falls. WU weather historian Christopher Burt discussed the challenges of measuring extreme snowfall in a December post.

A month with just six minutes of sunshine
December 2017 was the least sunny month since weather records have been kept in Moscow, Russia. The city managed to eke out a mere six minutes of sunshine for the entire month, beating the previous monthly scant-sun record of three hours, set in 2000. If skies are clear, Moscow can get up to seven hours a day of sunlight even in December, but last month was incredibly stingy: the city saw just 0. 0005% of its potential sunshine for the month!

If it’s any comfort to Muscovites, London had an even gloomier time of it in December 1890. During that whole month, the city recorded no sunshine at all. (The Victorian era’s rampant pollution no doubt contributed to the dankness.)

Coldest air in decades for parts of East Asia
Strong surface high pressure and very cold air pushed into Mongolia, northern China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan this week, leading to some uncommonly low temperatures even for places accustomed to frigid winter conditions. Readings fell as low as –53.2°C (–63.8°F) at Tsetsen-Uul, a peak in western Mongolia. Parts of extreme northeast China saw their coldest weather since 2001, including Tiluhe, which plummeted to –47.8°C (–54.0°F) on Thursday.

As the bitter-cold air spread across the relatively mild Sea of Japan this week, it produced some spectacular “sea effect” cloud patterns (see satellite loop in embedded tweet below).

Tokyo dipped to –4°C (25°F) on Thursday, its coldest reading in 48 years. The last time Tokyo got that cold was on Jan. 17, 1970. Several other Japanese cities had their lowest temperatures on record, albeit for datasets extending only back to the 1970s, including Otaki (–24.9°C on Thursday), Saitama (–9.8°C on Friday), and Ome (–9.3°C on Saturday 1/27).

The Winter Olympic Games were beset by unusually mild conditions in 2010 in Vancouver, Canada, and in 2014 in Sochi, Russia, where temperatures hit 68°F. South Korea is in a more appropriate weather mode for the 2018 games, which will take place in February at Pyeongchang, about 60 miles east of Seoul. On Friday, temperatures dropped to –17.8°C (0°F) at Seoul, more than 20°F below average. Seoul’s all-time low is –23.1°C (–9.6°F) on Dec. 31, 1927.

The period from late December into January has been one of the coldest on record for parts of South Korea, reported the Korea Herald.

Special thanks go to Maximiliano Herrera, Etienne Kapikian, Jérôme Reynaud, and Michael Theusner for providing many of the statistics in this post.

rest and weather in Budapest (Hungary)

Love the Christmas atmosphere, but hate the crowds? Do you appreciate beautiful architecture and rich history? Welcome winter but don’t want to freeze? Do you dream of going to Europe and seeing something special at the same time?

Try Budapest in January. You will surely enjoy the coziness and tranquility of its streets at the beginning of the year, and you will remember the magical taste of Hungarian food even when you return home. Kidpassage tried to find out everything related to the rest in the Hungarian capital during the most fabulous period of the year.

Holidays in Budapest in January: atmosphere and mystery

At first glance, Budapest in January may not seem like a good idea to travel. But it’s not! Reviews of holidays in Budapest in January suggest that such a trip has a number of advantages.

The main and most obvious plus is the absence of numerous tourists. Calm quiet streets, no crowds, no queues – just you and Budapest, together, alone.

Cloudy cool January is the perfect time to visit museums. In the summer it can be a shame to spend a warm sunny day indoors, but the middle of winter is a completely different matter.

Thermal springs. In the warm season, their charms are not so obvious, but the winter contrast of cold air and hot water is exactly what it is worth coming to Budapest in January for. Recall, no crowds and queues at the beginning of the year.

For those who care about the paraphernalia and atmosphere of the winter holidays – yes, in January they are still in the air of the Hungarian capital.

Holidays in Budapest in January have their downsides.

The main one, of course, is damp and rainy weather. Rain and unpleasant wind from the Danube can spoil any spiritual walk around the city.

A limited number of attractions available to you for viewing in the weather conditions described.

Prices that are quite high in January, especially in the first decade of the month.

If you are a fan of noisy events and mass celebrations, in January in Budapest you may find it too calm.

Weather in Budapest in January

The weather in early January is cool, from three to seven degrees above zero. The temperature in Budapest in mid-January can drop slightly below zero, but in general, it remains quite comfortable.

If we look at the weather in Budapest at the end of January, we won’t see anything new either – it’s still the same small plus, conducive to walking. Such stability is characteristic of a typical European winter. The weather in January-February is more like autumn, warm and humid.

Air temperature

Hungarian temperate continental climate will not please you with frosts and snowfalls. The temperature in Budapest in January is around the zero mark of the thermometer.

Air temperature in Budapest in January

The average air temperature during the day is +1. 7℃, at night – -1.3℃. If in previous years in Budapest there were significant temperature drops in January, then in the last year the minimum temperature was only -2℃. The maximum temperature recorded during the day is +10.5℃.

Precipitation

Precipitation gradually increases as the end of winter approaches. The number of rainy days in January is two days (for comparison, in December – one day, in February – three days). The amount of precipitation is 32.4 mm, and it is predominantly rain, not snow.

Sunny, cloudy and overcast days

The weather in Budapest in January is more gloomy than in the previous month. The number of cloudy days in the first month of the year is 42% (in December – 29%), the number of sunny days is only eight (in December – thirteen). Daylight hours range from 8.5 to 9.5 hours.

Sightseeing holidays

Budapest is one of the hundred most beautiful cities in the world and is part of the cultural heritage of UNESCO. City tours are what the vast majority of tourists come to Budapest for.

How to start sightseeing? It is difficult to answer this question, let’s just try to list the key ones.

Note that January may not be the most pleasant month for outdoor sightseeing, especially if you are traveling with children.

St. Stephen’s Basilica, the main Catholic cathedral in Budapest. The most beautiful temple, inside which the relics of King Stephen revered by the people are kept.

The bell of the basilica is the largest in the country, and the building itself is the tallest in the city. Under the dome there is an observation deck with a magnificent panoramic view of the capital.

Fisherman’s Bastion . A visiting card of the city, a building from which a magnificent view of Pest opens in early January.

Buda Castle , on the territory of which there is a magnificent church of St. Matthias with a unique tilework, as well as one of the most beautiful Plague Columns in Europe.

If you are cold and wet while walking around the city in the middle or end of January, you can continue your walk in one of the rooms.

Parliament House . One of the most beautiful administrative buildings, which is still used for its intended purpose. The crown of St. Stephen is kept in the parliament building.

Ethnographic Museum opposite the parliament building. A beautiful architectural structure, built according to one of the unrealized projects of its neighbor.

Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Contemporary Art , located next to Heroes’ Square.

It is quite obvious that you need to come to the capital of Hungary not for one or two days, but for at least a week.

Best Family Fun

Active holidays

For those who are not tired of long walks around the city in mid-January (which is an active holiday in itself), we recommend going to the skating rink.

The city’s main skating rink is located at the foot of the Vajdahunyad castle. It is here that locals prefer to ride, looking at the unique architectural structure and warming themselves with mulled wine.

Those who couldn’t warm up with warm wine can try the second type of outdoor activity offered by the Hungarian capital. We are talking, of course, about thermal springs.

The water temperature in the outdoor pools of the Széchenyi baths is +20-+40 degrees Celsius. At the beginning or end of January, you will get an unforgettable pleasure, enjoying the contrast of frosty air and hot water. Just for the sake of this feeling, it is already worth visiting Budapest in the middle of winter.

Shopping

A major European capital is always a good place for shopping. Although the main holidays are over in January, New Year’s discounts and promotions in stores are still valid, and in early January you can use them to buy gifts at nice prices.

Shoppers should visit Vaci Street, a pedestrian area over a kilometer long, home to major global chain stores, antique shops, art galleries, design studios, bookstores and pastry shops.

What to bring from Hungary as a gift

If we talk about souvenirs and various things “for memory”, then you can buy them in Budapest all year round, including in the middle and at the end of January.

Ceramic dishes, wood and metal products, traditional embroidery and much more are at your disposal. You should definitely bring marzipans from your trip, from which craftsmen create souvenirs of incredible beauty, and real Tokay wine.

Holidays, events and festivals

Compared to the turbulent December, the holidays in Budapest in January are minimal (at least public ones) – only the New Year and, possibly, the first days after it. This, however, has its own charm.

New Year in Hungary is sometimes called Sylvester , after the saint of the same name, the patron saint of December 31st. As in other European countries, this holiday is inferior in scope to the Catholic Christmas.

It is calm and chamber, celebrated at home, in the family circle. People gather at the table to see and congratulate their relatives on the beginning of the year.

Young girls traditionally wait for New Year’s Eve to tell fortunes about their betrothed. For fortune-telling, special buns are baked, inside of which they hide pieces of paper with male names. According to legend, what name will fall out to the girl will be the name of her future husband.

If we mention the festivals in Budapest in January, then there are three main ones.

Verdi Festival dedicated to the work of the great composer.

The Circus Arts Festival, held every two years, attracts artists and acrobats from all over the world. During the week you can watch the performances of the most advanced circus troupes in the tent of the capital’s circus.

Farsang , also known as the Hungarian Carnival, starts on January 6th and lasts until mid-February. Bright colors, traditional masks, music and dances are all attributes of the festival beloved by Hungarians.

The Budapest Opera House and the Palace of Arts host festive concerts at the beginning of the month, where you can listen to classical music.

Vacation prices

January is the month of holidays and Christmas holidays. The high demand for tourist services is the reason why prices in Budapest in January are quite high.

Flight

Prices for plane tickets to Budapest in January reach their annual maximum. We recommend planning your vacation in advance and paying for the flight as early as possible – this will save you money.

Also keep in mind that the highest prices are in the first week of the year, after Orthodox Christmas they are reduced by 25-40%.

Tours

The situation with organized tours exactly repeats the situation with carrier prices. We see two ways out – either to buy a ticket long before the hype, or to catch a last-minute tour with a departure “for today”. The second option, of course, is associated with greater risk.

Accommodation

Prices for hotel accommodation in January are generally lower than in December. The average cost of a hotel in January is $105. If you want to make your holiday cheaper, go to Budapest in the second or third decade of the month, the prices will be lower. The minimum cost of the cheapest room in January is 19.67$.

Budapest hotels for families with children

Food

As in any trip, the most budgetary way of eating is self-catering. If this is not your option and you want to relax and unwind as much as possible on vacation, keep in mind that a simple lunch for two will cost you $ 8-9, and dinner with a glass of wine – $ 23-24.

Street food is also popular in Budapest: kürtoshkalach, turosh tashko, gorosh, langosh, pogacha, palachinta and much more. So, for example, langosh, whose name translates as “fiery”, costs only 1.3 euros.

This is a voluminous flatbread fried in oil, covered with a sauce of sour cream and garlic with the addition of grated cheese and the same paprika. Langos are very popular with locals and tourists.

What to bring and what to wear

The weather in Budapest in January is not very sunny. Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers at times. Umbrellas or raincoats will come in handy, as well as warm clothes for long walks.

“Tourist package” in January includes a jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, comfortable pants and shoes. A thermos with a warming drink will also come in handy.

Recommendations for families with children

When traveling to Budapest with children, be sure to bring a set of clothes according to the season. Despite the relatively high air temperature, January can be cloudy, windy and humid.

You will need hats, scarves and mittens, warm shoes and windproof jackets or overalls.

School-age children will enjoy guided tours of Budapest museums and labyrinth on the territory of the Buda Castle. Climbing up under the dome of the St. Stephen’s Basilica, you can admire the view of the city, in the cafe you can enjoy fresh marzipans, and warm all those chilled in the wind at the end of the day in the thermal waters of the Széchenyi baths.

Budapest for children: an author’s review Kidpassage

Pre-school children would be better off visiting Budapest during the warmer months.

Visiting Budapest in January, you will be able to fully enjoy the unique atmosphere of the winter European capital, while avoiding the mass invasion of tourists. If you still have questions about organizing holidays with children in Budapest, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with other materials on the Kidpassage portal.

Climatic features of Tomsk are determined by its geographical location in the extreme southeast of the West Siberian Plain, which is bounded by mountain uplifts in the east and west, affecting the movement of air masses in the latitudinal direction.

The slope to the north and the flatness of the territory favor the invasion of the deep south of the cold arctic air masses. Rounding the Ural Mountains, moderate air masses carrying moisture penetrate into Western Siberia from the west. The weather in Tomsk is influenced primarily by the western transport of air masses prevailing in the temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere, as well as the peripheral parts of cyclones and anticyclones. Sharp weather changes in Tomsk, as a rule, occur during the movement of cyclones with a meridional component.

Most often, cyclones come from the Barents and Kara Seas. They cause sharp drops in air temperature, wind intensification up to 15 m/sec or more, increase in cloudiness, and precipitation. Most of the southern and southwestern cyclones come in summer and off-season. They are associated with an increase in cloudiness up to 100%, precipitation with thunderstorms. After the passage of a warm front, hot weather sets in with temperatures rising to 36°C.

In winter, when southern cyclones come out, clear frosty weather can change into cloudy with heavy snowfall and snowstorms. In winter, the influence of a spur of the Asian anticyclone is traced. Anticyclone conditions are intensifying due to the intrusion of Arctic air in the rear of the series of cyclones passing through the north of the region. This sets the weather with low temperatures and significant wind speeds. This enhances the severity of winter in Tomsk. Severe frosts are sometimes kept in the city area for 10-15 days in a row.

In summer, high pressure arises under the influence of the Azores anticyclone, which forms partly cloudy and hot weather. Summer processes are slower than winter ones. Cyclones are less deep in summer and anticyclones are less powerful, so the winds are not as strong as in winter. With cyclones and anticyclones in Tomsk and its environs.

An advice for any traveler who is going to visit Tomsk is to take warm clothes with you. Even if you eat in the summer, as it is cool at night and rainy days in summer, the phenomenon is quite frequent. Also, if you eat in spring, summer or autumn, be sure to take an umbrella. If you happened to go to Tomsk in winter, you should definitely have in your wardrobe: a hat, mittens or winter gloves, as well as a winter down jacket or fur coat.

Best Black Sand Beaches in Tenerife ⋆ Expert World Travel

If beach getaways are among your favorite travel destinations, you’ve likely lounged by the sea on beaches with white sand, golden sand, and even a pink sand beach. What about a black sand beach?

You’ll find beaches with black sand in several locations around the world including Hawaii, Greece, and Indonesia, and there’s even one in California. But for the best chance to find a black sand beach, you’ll love, visit Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands.

Located off West Africa, Tenerife has 40 miles of sandy beaches scattered along its 250-mile coastline. Tenerife’s golden sand beaches feature imported sand from the Sahara, but the island’s natural beaches have black sand that is the result of the erosion of lava fragments and materials from volcanos, including Mt. Teide, Spain’s tallest peak.

Update your Instagram pages and tick off an exotic black sand beach on your travel list with a visit to one of the best black sand beaches in Tenerife.

Playa El Bollullo

Situated in the northern part of the island, Playa El Bollullo is a black sand beach in Tenerife near Puerto de la Cruz and La Orotava. It’s a remote beach mostly visited by the locals looking for an escape from the city and remains a hidden gem for tourists.

Getting to Bollulo Beach involves driving down a narrow road and then descending a set of stairs. Dramatic cliffs that add to the scenery make it even more worthy of a visit. Get there by parking at one of the two restaurants on the beach, or take a 45-minute walk through the banana plantations on a coastal path from Puerto de la Cruz.

As with most beaches on the island’s north end, the waves and tides are quite strong and the water isn’t really suitable for swimming. Sun loungers are available for hire.

Playa Jardin

Playa Jardin, or “Garden Beach” is another exotic black sand beach in northern Tenerife near the city of Puerto de la Cruz. It’s actually composed of three smaller beaches – Playa Chica, Playa Maria Jimenez, and Playa del Castillo.

Playa Jardin gets its name from its delightful tropical gardens with stone walls and a manmade waterfall designed by César Manrique, a famous Spanish artist, and architect who had the vision to make the island’s coastline magical. Verdant flowering plants creep close to the beach’s ebony shore.

The often snow-capped peak of the active volcano Mount Teide in the distance and a row of colorful houses behind Maria Jimenez Beach make Play Jardin incredibly photogenic. You’ll find plenty of amenities on the beach including a children’s playground and on-duty lifeguards.

Playa de los Gigantes

Playa de Los Gigantes is a small black sand beach near the town of Los Gigantes, one of the most popular spots on Tenerife and home to one of Spain’s most impressive natural wonders. Massive cliffs towering up to 800 meters high earn it the name Acantilados de Los Gigantes which means “Cliffs of the Giants.” Other than by boat, the beach offers the best view of the gigantic towering cliffs.

It’s located on the island’s sunny west coast about 45 minutes by car from Reina Sofia, Tenerife’s southern airport. The holiday areas of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas are only 30 kilometers away. Over time, the town has merged with the resorts of Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. The three areas are close enough to be walkable.

The water surrounding the ebony sand is crystal clear and the waves are light. Los Gigantes is a relatively quiet resort town with restaurants, shops, cafes, and family-friendly bars.

Playa de Las Gaviotas

Located close to the popular Playa de Las Teresitas, the black sand beach at Las Gaviotas Beach is reachable by car. On the way, be sure to stop by the lookout point Mirador Gaviotas for stunning views. One of the best viewpoints on the island, the iconic tower was created in 1986 as a failed attempt to build a flower clock.

From the Mirador Gaviotas, you’ll see breathtaking panoramic views that include the black sand beach of Las Gaviotas and the golden sand beach, Las Teresitas.

Before visiting Playa de Las Gaviotas, you should be aware that nudism is acceptable, and there are no facilities. However, it’s a beautiful spot to relax in the sun on the warm, black sand and connect with nature.

Playa San Juan

Playa San Juan is black sand, pebbly beach in western Tenerife in the small fishing village of Guia de Isora. Water quality, services, and amenities have earned it the coveted Blue Flag Beach status since 2012. The beach’s position next to the breakwater and fishing port shelters the water from wind and waves making it popular for families and swimming.

Tourists and locals alike enjoy Playa San Juan. There are more apartments than hotels, giving it a less-touristy feel. Restaurants and cafes serving excellent seafood cuisine line the seafront promenade. Beachgoers can hire lounge chairs and umbrellas for the day, and there is parking, showers, and toilets that are wheelchair accessible.

Playa de Fanabe

Situated in southern Tenerife, Playa de Fanabe is a black sand beach popular for incredible sunsets and an abundance of activities. Also distinguished by Blue Flag status the beach is about 600 meters long and perfect for a sunset stroll. The CLC World’s Tenerife resorts are a short eight-minute drive away.

Beachgoers come to Playa de Fanabe for a variety of watersports including jet-skiing, paddle boarding, banana boating, and parasailing. Visitors can also take a glass-bottom boat tour to observe the colorful underwater life of Tenerif.

You’ll find plenty of great restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby, and the promenade is lined with luxurious hotels and boutiques overlooking the water.

After leaving Playa de Fanabe, stop by the nearby Playa del Duque, a beach with golden sand and calm water perfect for swimming.

Playa de Benijo

Image courtesy of Wikimedia

Located in the northern part of Tenerife close to the Anaga Rural Park area, Playa de Benijo is a black sand beach that’s a favorite for locals and a hidden gem for tourists. The beach is mostly secluded and surrounded by dramatic rocks and cliffs. The sunsets are spectacular and perfect for those Instagram shots.

Playa de Benijo has no facilities, so take water and snacks with you. However, you will find a few seafood restaurants not far away. Since it’s located on Tenerife’s northern shore, this beach is more about the scenery than playing in the rough waves. It’s best to visit when the tide is low.

Playa la Arena

Playa la Arena is a stunning black sand beach in Puerto de Santiago in the southwest of Tenerife. It’s a small beach, but together with the must-see rock formations and natural pools of Charco el Diablo, it’s one of the Canary Island’s most popular destinations. Los Gigantes is not far away.

The water and services have earned Playa la Arena the prestigious status of Blue Flag Beach. The area has lots of things to do with children and some of the best hotels for families.

The promenade is lined with several shops and restaurants, and scuba diving classes are offered at the nearby diving clubs. There’s a path for taking coastal walks to take in the views of the Los Gigantes cliffs. While you’re in the area, visit nearby La Gomera at sunset for incredible views.

Playa Amarilla

One of Tenerife’s natural wonders, Playa Amarilla is a black sand pebbly beach nestled in the craggy cliffs of Coasta del Silencio on the south side of Tenerife. It’s a small beach, only about 50 meters long, and you have to look closely or you may even miss it. The unique curved rocks make natural chairs to lay your towel across.

The water is rough but crystal clear at Playa Amarilla. The rocky cove is popular for both swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Two ladders lead down into the water. The waves at high tide are powerful, so beware. Wearing water shoes is advised since the bottom is quite rocky.

There are no facilities such as restrooms, but there’s a little beach bar on the far side for drinks and snacks. You can park your car and walk to this tiny beach.

Playa del Socorro

Situated in Los Realejos, Playa del Socorro is one of North Tenerife’s best black sand beaches. It earned the title of Blue Flag Beach because of accessibility, enjoyment, and amenities for comfort such as showers, reserved parking, and walkways and ramps for guests with reduced mobility.

With 200 meters of parking, this beach even has Wi-Fi hotspots and an entertainment center with games and a snack bar. Beach bars for drinks and snacks are nearby.

The off-shore wave breaks are popular for surfing and swimming. Visitors also enjoy the spectacular views from this part of the island.

The most beautiful beaches in Tenerife

Tenerife is a paradise of black sand beaches, amazing weather the whole year round, gorgeous nature and absolutely stunning beaches. Honestly, you will not believe that the Canary Islands could be so beautiful and have such a variety of landscapes. All while being only three hours away by plane from the Spanish mainland. And the beaches come in all different colours and shapes as well. As you might already know, Tenerife is famous for its beautiful black sand beaches that have their colour due to the volcanic rocks all around the island. But did you know that not all beaches in Tenerife have that typical black sand? There is one really famous beach, in particular, that has white sand. I will tell you in the blog post below which beach I am talking about 🙂 So, let’s jump right into it. Here are the six most beautiful beaches in Tenerife:

The best places to stay in Tenerife, a guide for all budgets

1. Playa de las Teresitas

Let’s start with this beautiful beach on the Northern part of the island of Tenerife. Playa de las Teresitas is right next to Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, and definitely belongs to one of the most beautiful beaches of Tenerife. Like I said before, it is one of the few beaches of Tenerife that has white sand.

How come? More than a hundred years ago, Playa de las Teresitas also had black sand and tiny rocks. But in the 1950s several beaches in Tenerife kept disappearing as locals would use the sand for construction work. So the city of Santa Cruz decided to build an artificial beach instead. Since black sand was too expensive due to its scarcity on the island the Spanish government bought Sand from Western Sahara. White sand also has the advantage that it’s more appealing to tourists who were not used to the typical black sand in Tenerife.

Playa de las Teresitas in Tenerife

Why do I think that you should visit Playa de las Teresitas in Tenerife? First of all, it is very family-friendly. The beaches in Tenerife are usually very wild and the current is strong. And most of the time it will be quite a struggle to get there as climbing rocks is involved. But Playa de las Teresitas is just outside of Santa Cruz and it is easy to reach it by public transport, too. Just take bus (guagua) 910 from Intercambiador Laguna to Las Teresitas.

By the way, if you plan on taking the bus in Tenerife (quite reliable and affordable) you can find timetables here.Advertisements

2. Check out the “Piscinas Naturales” in Tenerife

Piscinas Naturales are “Natural Pools” and are very common all over the Canary Islands. Locals refer call areas at the beach “Natural Pools” that are protected by rocks or any other kind of barrier from the open ocean, but the water is still able to reach this separate area. So they are kind of pools in the ocean. The water you are swimming in is still ocean water. The special thing is that you will be able to swim there without being scared of waves, currents or wind. That is the reason why these pools are very family-friendly.

You can usually find them all over the island, typically closer to a village or city. They are definitely worth a visit.

3. Playa del Benijo Advertisements

In my opinion, Playa del Benijo is probably the most beautiful beach in Tenerife. I had this beach on my ‘Tenerife Bucket List’ for ages, and I was so happy when I finally got to visit it! Playa del Benijo is a beach in the very north of the island. But here comes the downside: Getting there is SO annoying! If you are going by car, it will take you at least one hour from Santa Cruz and you will probably get carsick. The roads are so curvy it’s crazy! You can also reach Playa del Benijo by public transport. Even though I would really recommend going by car. You just have to take bus 946 from Intercambiador Santa Cruz. It will take you to the closest town of Almáciga. Then you just have to walk around 15 minutes to the beach.

My favourite beach: Playa del Benijo

Be aware! Playa del Benijo is a little bit hard to reach as you have to go down many stairs in order to reach the beach. And the closest supermarkets/restaurants are in Benijo (There are some restaurants next to the entrance of the beach, but they were ALL closed when I was there). So do not forget to bring water and snacks when you go there. But believe me, it is worth the hassle. Playa del Benijo is a beach that has pitch black sand, rock formations in the water and an absolutely stunning view of the ocean! Advertisements

4. Playa de Castro & Playa de Gordejuela

Playa de Castro and Playa de Gordejuela are the perfect destinations for a one day trip from Puerto de la Cruz. We decided to go to Playa del Castro, which has a small waterfall running down the cliffs to the beach. The water is falling from the cliffs to a rock at the beach and it is absolutely beautiful to look at. So, if you want to see a waterfall in Tenerife, then this is the beach to go!

Playa del Castro

I may not have mentioned it before, but the public transport in Tenerife is great. So you can reach these beaches easily by public transport. If you decide to go by bus, you can get there by taking bus 363 to Puerto Franco. And then ladies and gentlemen, you have to hike quite a bit. Please, make sure to take water with you. It gets very hot during the day and the hike is a mixture of uphill and downhill sections. But during the hike, we were already able to see absolutely beautiful viewpoints, so it looked very promising.

To be honest, we did not expect a lot when we decided to go there. But now I have to say that this was one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife I got to see. I loved how private this beach was, the water was absolutely clear and the view was just breathtaking. Make sure to put this place on your ‘Tenerife Bucket List’ and if you end up going there, let me know if you liked it. Advertisementsreport this ad

5. Playa Bollullo

If you are not able to rent a car during your stay, don’t worry. That is why I included this beach on my list as well. Playa Bollullo is a very beautiful beach in Tenerife, not too far from Puerto de la Cruz. It has beautiful banana plantations surrounding it and is the perfect destination if you want to escape the city for a while. And the best part: You can go there simply by walking from the city centre.

AdvertisementsPlaya Bollullo

The first thing you should know is that you need to take proper shoes if you want to go there. The last part on your way to the beach is going to be a little hike, so come prepared. Buuuut, the great thing about Playa Bollullo is that there are beach bars around it where you can buy water and snacks. So you do not need to bring huge amounts of water when going there.

Pssst… I’ve heard that this is THE beach to go-to for the best sunsets in Tenerife.

6. Playa de los Gigantes

Playa de los Gigantes is such a breathtaking place. While I was going my research I found many sources stating that this is the most beautiful beach in Tenerife. I mean, imagine sunbathing at a beach that is surrounding cliffs and mountains that are more than 700m high. Sounds incredible, right? Well, then Playa de los Gigantes is your place to go. Advertisements

Advertisements

Playa de los Gigantes is a black sand beach in the South of Tenerife. And it is famous for its unique scenery and locations. “Los Gigantes” are the huge cliffs and mountains you will be able to see from this beach, which is how this beach got its name. I wasn’t able to go during my stay in Tenerife, but if I ever go back, this beach is on my bucket list.

Pssst… you can book a whale-watching tour that starts at Playa Los Gigantes here. One of the best experiences in Tenerife you will have.

Advertisements

And that’s it! I hope I was able to give you some ideas of where the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife are. Of course, there are many more. If you ever end up going let me know if you like the ones I mention here. And if you went to a beach in Tenerife you liked a lot, make sure to tell me in the comments 🙂

6 Best Beaches In TENERIFE To Visit In Autumn 2022

0
shares

Being the largest island in the Canaries, Tenerife showcases some of the best stretches of sand and exotic natural scenery. Tenerife has invested a lot of hard work and resources to ensure its rocky coastline is a heaven for tourists.

This has been achieved by importing refined sand from the Sahara desert and constructing award-winning hotels and resorts where both local and international tourists can enjoy the beautiful views.

Tenerife Island is of volcanic origin, meaning most of the beaches contain black sand. However, this does not prevent you from having a good swim in the warm sun as you tour the restaurants and bars, not forgetting the endless fun activities to engage in.

Suggested: Best beacehs in Fuerteventura

Each beach in Tenerife has a unique appeal style that makes it stand out from the other beaches. Some of the Tenerife beaches are exclusively built for tourism, but other rugged options exist for individuals searching for a secluded experience. The following are the six best beaches found in Tenerife:

1. Playa de las Teresitas

One thing that qualifies Teresitas Beach as one of the best ones is the amazing background views of the volcanic mountain peaks. In addition, this beach has golden sands and is estimated to have a length of 2km, adorned with palm trees and lounge chairs for relaxing in the soft sand.

Those who enjoy snorkeling can take advantage of this beach and showcase their aquatic skills. Swimming on this beach is also a good idea because of the concrete barriers located offshore, which act as a protective bay.

The powdered soft sands found on this beach were imported from the Sahara desert and had to be subjected to rigorous cleaning to remove the scorpions and red ants that had infested it.

Due to its clean nature, this beach is kid friendly and offers a variety of activities for them to engage in. Also, it is in close proximity to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is a short drive from CLC World Tenerife resorts.

This man-made beach gets crowded with locals during summer because of the endless fishing restaurants, among others, too.

2. Playa de los Gigantes

This black-sand beach is towered over by cliffs soaring as high as 800 meters and is commonly referred to as the Giants Beach by the locals. The rocky cliffs provide an inspiring view for those visiting, and Los Gigantes is dramatic, especially for sunbathing.

Locals prefer this beach due to its west location that provides protection against the infamous easterly winds of Tenerife. Enjoy plenty of shade in the morning and extraordinary sunset views that will leave you gaping for more.

What is even better, the water is a diving heaven full of caverns, lobsters, moray eels, octopuses, and stingrays, among other aquatic animals.

Gazing out at the placid bays as you work on your tan would be a fantastic way of spending time at Playa de Los Gigantes with a mimosa to accompany the day.

Steep stone mountains slope into the sea border; this beach is located a short drive from Tenerife resorts. Moreover, the beach is a perfect hang-out joint for families because it is dominated by calm waters, with the black sand immensely contributing to its beauty.

3. Playa de Las Vistas

Playa de Las Vistas is well manicured and is an ideal place for families because of its easy access and safe swimming conditions. If you are in search of a spacious 850-meter space dominated by golden sand, Playa de Las Vistas is the ideal place to be in.

The refreshing blue-green sea is a favorite for beachgoers, with the promenade offering a variety of ice cream kiosks to help cool down in the sun and see to it that everyone has a good time while on the beach.

Despite being large, this beach tends to get crowded sometimes. Still, tourists give it a run for their money because it serves to be multipurpose with many fun activities to engage in. If you have been planning to visit Tenerife, this beach should be included on your bucket list.

4. Playa Jardín

Apart from being a beautiful beach, Playa Jardín is also blessed to have many art installations that elevate the beach experience to the next level.

This black-sand beach is located in the northern town of Puerto de la Cruz and is full of delightful elements that please all the tourists visiting.

Its most outstanding feature is a man-made waterfall brought into existence by architect Cesar Manrique and famed Spanish artists, not forgetting its tropical gardens and footpath networks that serve to bring more life and authenticity to the beach.

The man-made project was an innovative project aimed at transforming the island’s coastline into a magical one. The beach was selected to be a perfect place to have the manicured gardens because it offers a perfect view of Mount Teide.

Playa Jardin is an answered prayer to those who have always dreamt of spending some quality time in a tropical paradise. The vibrant flower and plant profusions almost creep onto the beach’s black sands, and one can never get enough of the amazing view.

Apart from the interesting cafes, the tropical gardens also contain playgrounds perfect for families with children seeking a good time at the beach. In addition, there are small coved designed on the beach ideal for towel hanging, parasols, and sun-loungers for hire for maximum enjoyment.

Fearless people looking to create adventurous memories are usually attracted to the beach’s high tides and big waves, with the beach promising nothing short of a bohemian feeling.

5. Playa de Fanabe

Playa de Fanabe is a good idea for those looking for constant beach activities like water sports that make for a perfect beach holiday. The beach’s vicinity contains several rental companies where fun lovers can hire banana boats, jet skis, and paddleboats that contribute to creating fun at the beach.

Moreover, there are also glass-bottom boat rides and parasailing available at the beach at affordable prices. These are some of the outstanding elements of fun that everyone has to try while visiting Playa de Fanabe. The beach is located 1.6km north of Costa Adeje and is also known as one of the party beaches in Tenerife.

It is classified among the most popular beaches in Tenerife and has the blue flag because of services such as showers, loungers, and toilets, and guarantees perfect water conditions. The sand on this beach is pale yellow, excluding it from being as burning as some volcanic sand beaches.

The glass bottom rides give one a glimpse of the universe under the sea, which is an experience not easily forgotten and one that will leave you looking forward to the next trip to Tenerife.

6. Playa del Duque

Playa del Duque offers nothing short of high life and is situated near Costa Adeje as well. Lined with thatched straw parasols and elegant striped huts, this white-sand beach serves as a mecca for individuals who like being the center of attraction because of how calculative it looks.

Playa del Duque is not only adjacent to classy restaurants and boutiques but also promises endless sun-soaked swimming moments while watching the satiny sands.

The beach is adorned with turquoise waters, golden sand, and straw umbrellas which all contribute to it drawing the luxury crowd.

There are sun beds for higher, and one can spend time under lovely shade at one of the beautiful restaurants on the promenade. The beach would serve as a nice get-a-way joint for families or individuals looking for some peace and quiet away from the busy and noisy towns.

Why Visit Tenerife?

Tenerife is recognized as one of the world’s most significant tourist destinations. Whether in such for mountains and beaches, vibrant nightlife, hikes, or tasty dishes, Tenerife has got you covered.

Being the largest and the most visited among the Canary Islands, this island has a tone of value and good vibes to offer. It flaunts volcanic mountains, black-sandy beaches, golden beaches, and white-sand beaches, not forgetting the beautiful man-made gardens and waterfalls.

The temperate sea around Tenerife is home to around 30 species of dolphins and whales, and their view can be obtained from aboard boats. Also, its low light pollution levels and proximity to the equator qualify it to be a perfect destination for dazzling stars’ capes.

Islands like Tenerife need multiple traveling stories because of how exquisite they are. It is impossible to dodge this island’s beauty because it is physically attractive and therapeutic to the mind and soul.

The ocean life is not only amazing but also has great gastronomy and is jam-packed with satisfactory activities that any traveler would not want to miss out on.

Tenerife is a versatile destination for all groups of people, adventure seekers, nature lovers, and holidaymakers from all walks of life.

Sandy beaches are beautiful and dreamy. They’re extra special, though, when the clear blue water of the sea meets black sand instead of white. Here are some black sand beaches to take your breath away.

Pure white beaches and turquoise waters are to many people the perfect image of a seaside paradise. But did you know that there are beaches with black sand too? Black beaches, colored by volcanic minerals and lava fragments, can be found in many places around the world. These are the destinations to head to if you want to experience something new or take your vacation photos to a whole new level.

Reynisfjara, Iceland

Just over 2.5 hours’ drive from Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, Reynisfjara Beach is famous for its dramatic black color. Big black rocks rise up out of the sea at the beach and according to Icelandic folklore these were trolls who used to pull boats out to sea at night, but were then turned into stone. There’s almost no land mass between Antarctica and Iceland, which means the waves here can be strong and suddenly sweep in over the land. So don’t turn your back on the sea while visiting this beach.

Miho-no-Matsubara, Shizuoka, Japan

Miho-no-Matsubara beach in Japan used to be white but after the railroad was built nearby, the beach was turned black by the volcanic rock brought from Mount Fuji. The mountain, with its distinctive white peak, can be seen from the beach. In 2013, this 7km-long beach was included on “The World Heritage List”, which lists sites of cultural, historical or scientific importance to the country.

Muriwai, New Zealand

Half an hour from Auckland, on New Zealand’s North Island, is Muriwai Beach. This 50km-long beach is as black as night and is worth a visit even if sun and sea aren’t your top priority. You can enjoy a nice stroll along the water’s edge or rent a bicycle. Or you can learn to surf, as the waves that roll in here are perfect for surfing. The sunrises and sunsets at Muriwai are a landscape photographer’s dream and bird-watchers won’t be disappointed either. You’ll find 1,200 pairs of gannets breeding here from August to March.

Black Sands Beach, California, USA

If you’re looking for California’s swaying palm trees and pure white sand, then Black Sands Beach at Shelter Cove is not for you. Here you’ll find instead the finest black sand in the continental United States. Visitors to the beach should have respect for the ocean, as the tides and currents here make surfing or swimming treacherous. That doesn’t stop you from walking along the beach and taking in the dramatic and beautiful landscape though.

Punalu’u Beach, Hawaii

Punalu’u Beach attracts visitors for two reasons: its black color and its sea turtles. There are often green sea turtles basking on the beach and if you’re lucky you may see the much rarer hawksbill turtle swimming in the water. It’s perfectly possible to go swimming in the sea at Punalu’u Beach, but take care as the currents can be strong. There’s an underwater spring of freshwater that runs into the sea right at the beach. As the density of the freshwater is lower than salt water, the water from the spring sits on top of the sea water. So it can feel like you’re bathing in a sea of two different temperatures.

Perissa Beach, Greece

At the bottom of Mesa Vouno, a hill on the south-east coast of Santorini, lies Perissa Beach. Easy to reach by car or bus, this black lava beach is one of the most famous beaches in Santorini. Visitors here can lie back on the sun loungers and soak up the Greek heat under a parasol. Those looking for something a little more active can try windsurfing, jet skiing, canoeing or speeding behind a motorboat. The clear blue waters also attract many snorkeling enthusiasts and there are two diving centers here.

Playa de San Marcos, Tenerife, Spain

The beautiful Spanish island of Tenerife is home to several black beaches. Playa del Socorro, Playa Jardín and Playa de la Arena are just some of these, but the most spectacular and family-friendly is the volcanic beach of Playa de San Marcos. This black beach is relatively undeveloped and offers a pleasant atmosphere and the opportunity to cool off in the water if you’re feeling too hot. There are parasols and sun loungers for rent if you haven’t brought a towel with you. You can take a picnic to enjoy on the black sand or walk a few steps to the cafés and bars specializing in Canarian food. There are also some shops to browse around.

Jardin Beach (Jardin) in Tenerife

Black volcanic beaches are a feature of the Canary Islands. Residents of Europe, accustomed to the golden shores of the Mediterranean, will be surprised to see at least one black sand beach in Tenerife. But there are several such unusual places on the island of eternal spring. They can be found in the west and north of Tenerife. Playa Jardin is considered a popular attraction in the northern town of Puerto de la Cruz and the largest natural black beach. The features of this place, its infrastructure and interesting places nearby will be discussed in this article. At the end you will find a short video about the beach taken at the end of May 2018.

Playa Jardin in Puerto de la Cruz

Playa Jardin (Spanish for Jardin) was once an ordinary shore of the Atlantic Ocean, wild and deserted. It was unsuitable for swimming, because stones and fragments of rocks lay in the water and partly on land. But people liked this place, and they began to come here to look at the menacing waves and take a sunbath. Hardin’s popularity was furthered by his proximity to Puerto de la Cruz. In the early 90s of the 20th century, local authorities decided to equip a decent city beach here. They invited the famous Canarian sculptor and artist Cesar Manrique to Puerto to design a future vacation spot. Lanzarote designer did his best. And already at 19In 93, the townspeople, and then visitors, were drawn to the beach. The place was called Playa Jardin (beach-garden) because coconut trees were planted along it, and in the western part they planted a garden with banana trees and lush palm trees. The beautiful beach, framed by green trees from the side of the city, has become a favorite vacation spot for Puerto residents who spend weekends here.

Today residents of different countries of the world know about Jardin Beach (Tenerife). Many of them come here from their hotels on foot, because the place is located within the city, not far from its historical part. Others come to the beach by car, which they can leave in a parking lot with 100 spaces. If you plan to visit Playa Jardin and stay in Puerto de la Cruz for a few days or weeks, then public transport or a taxi from Tenerife North Airport is at your service. There are signs everywhere in the city with information about the distance to the beach and with arrows showing the way to it.

Fort San Felipe next to Playa Jardin

It is better to come here in the morning to get the best place, because in the high season there are many tourists. But, thanks to the size of the beach (240 m long and 40 wide), you can find a free patch of black sand for yourself and your friends even in July and August. The first thing you notice when approaching the beach is a small square stone building. It will be useful for history buffs to know that this is the fortress of St. Felipe, which was built in the Spanish colonial style in the 17th century to protect the city from pirate raids. It got its name in honor of the founder of Puerto, King Felipe VI. In front of the fortress there is a compact square with a cannon preserved from those times. Today the fortress is intended for peaceful purposes. Exhibitions of paintings are placed within its walls, and concerts are held on the square.

Entrance to Jardin beach from pier

Near San Felipe you can see an iron installation, a piece of contemporary art. Behind it begins the pier, from which a long breakwater goes into the sea. During the construction of the latter, 230 cubic meters of volcanic stones were used, which were raised from the ocean floor. Now tourists like to walk along it and build pyramids from smaller smooth stones. A powerful concrete pier is built from 4000 blocks. It offers a beautiful view of the Jardin beach located just below.

By 11 o’clock there are more tourists on the Jardin beach.

The territory of the beach is divided into several parts. The one that adjoins the pier is designed not only for sunbathing, but also for swimming. Cesar Manrique built a fountain in the middle of Playa Jardin, but now there is no water in it. The second part of the beach is more restless, because. there are more stone ledges and stronger waves. Surfers like to spend time here. Then begins the territory of Punta Brava beach, and next to it is a garden with exotic trees. A convenient promenade is laid along the beaches, where you can take a morning jog or just take a walk, enjoying the greenery of plants and the view of the ocean. From the promenade there are several additional entrances to Playa Jardin.

Behind the rocky promontory of Playa Jardin, the surf area begins

From the pier you can see not only the ocean and the beach. On a clear day, Mount Teide rises above the city. But more often it is hidden from view by a lush strip of clouds. On the territory of Playa Jardin you will find sun loungers and umbrellas, changing rooms, toilets, showers. People with disabilities can also come here. After a pleasant stay on the beach, you can have a bite to eat in a cafe located nearby. And if you want to live near Hardin, you can use the Hotellook service and book an apartment or a hotel. It is also convenient to search for accommodation on the side bar of my site. Good deals for you would be Hotel Diamante Suites, RF San Borondon, Trianflor. Those looking for a cheaper accommodation will love the Noarth Coast apartments and studio apartments.

View of the Atlantic Ocean from Jardin Beach

Jardin Beach has a very relaxing atmosphere. Black grains of sand first stick to a wet body, but then easily fall off it. The magnificent surrounding landscapes will not let you get bored. If you want to swim, keep in mind that large pebbles appear closer to the water. The entrance to the ocean will not be easy for you because of the stones lying at the bottom and the stormy surf that falls on every daredevil who wants to conquer the waters of the beach. Although the waves will drive you back, leaving lacy foam on your tanned bodies, boldly go forward. Taking a dip will give you an unforgettable experience. Swimming here is easy, and closer to the pier, the waves are a little quieter. Don’t swim far into the ocean, you have yet to fight the waves at the exit. Personally, I like the raging ocean, but it’s better to stay close to the shore. In the western part of the beach there is a section for children, where there is a convenient entrance to the ocean. When you get tired of swimming, sunbathing and conquering the wave on the board, you can have a good time in Loro Parque. It is located across the road from the beach. Here you can not only see bright parrots, but also watch a killer whale show. Children will especially enjoy the park.

Playa Jardin is an amazing corner of Puerto de la Cruz and the north of Tenerife. Come here, and then for a long time you will remember the beautiful landscapes of this place, pleasant sunbathing on its black sand, playing with the surf and swimming in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Pink, green, black – where to see the unusual beaches of the world?

Nature is the best artist and magician. And the proof of this is real-life beaches, the colors of which correspond to almost all the colors of the rainbow. Why almost? Because of the seven shades of the rainbow, colored sand at the water’s edge represents all but two – blue and light blue. But they can be compensated with black and pink colors – yes, such beaches also exist! Let’s find out where they are and why they are green, pink, purple, red and other unusual shades.

Red Beaches

Red Beaches are not the biggest rarity in the whole line. They are obtained due to iron oxide present in coastal rocks, or due to the content of red limestone in the sand. The most famous are four beaches – Panzun in China, the beach in Kaihalulu Bay on the island of Maui (Hawaii), Kokkini Paralia on the Greek island of Santorini and Thunder Bay on Prince Edward Island in Canada.

Orange beaches

The reddest beaches in the world can be found in Malta – San Blas on the island itself and Ramla il Hamra on the Maltese island of Gozo. In addition to them, one can recall the Moroccan Legzira beach, whose rich yellow sands, thanks to orange rocks, also seem orange.

Yellow beaches

Someone calls them yellow, someone calls them golden. But this does not change the essence – this is probably the warmest and most cheerful shade in the entire beach palette. And the most familiar. Waimanalo Beach in Hawaii is one of the golden beaches in the world. Not inferior to him and Porto Ferro in Sardinia.

Green beaches

A green beach is even more rare than a red one. The most famous green sand beach is located near Ka Lae in Hawaii. The beach is called Papakolea and has a green color due to olivine, a green mineral from the local mountains. There is also a green beach on Talofofo Beach on Guam.

Purple Beaches

One of a kind purple Pfeiffer Beach located in California, USA. Thanks to the mineral spessartine from the garnet group with inclusions of manganese and aluminum washed out of the rocks, the sand acquires a purple hue. Depending on the time of day, it washes to acquire a pink or purple hue.

Pink beaches

Small corals and sea mollusks – that’s what paints the beaches pink. The most beautiful of them are located in Bermuda and on the Bahamas Harbor Island. The beauty of the Greek pink beaches of the island of Elafonisi, which can be reached with an excursion from Western Crete, is not inferior to them. In addition, there are pink beaches in Costa Rica, Barbados and the Philippines.

Black beaches

Black beaches are actually not that rare. They are formed from frozen volcanic lava crushed by waves. Many people attribute healing properties to such sand. For example, people go to the Tenerife resort of Los Gigantes largely for the sake of this particular sand on the beach. Black beaches are generously located throughout the island, in the center of which is the active volcano Teide. Of the famous black beaches, one can recall Punaluu in Hawaii. There are similar beaches in New Zealand, Jamaica and Fogo.

Gray beaches

Gray beaches are obtained by mixing volcanic black and ordinary beach sands. There are such beaches on the south coast of Iceland – for example, Vik. And also in North Goa and in the resorts of Ketevel and Candidasa in Bali.

White beaches

Yes, we were not mistaken – white as snow beaches can be seen in various parts of the world. The most exotic of them is perhaps Boulders Beach in Cape Town (South Africa). White sand is set off by almost black blocks of granite, between which … African penguins walk! There are white sand beaches in Australia and on the coast of Florida. A little closer and more accessible are the white beaches of Zakynthos in Greece and Phuket in Thailand. In addition, there are white beaches in Tenerife – the sand was specially brought for them from the Sahara.

Blue beaches

Did we say there is no blue sand? That’s right, he doesn’t exist. But the unique glow of blue beaches can be observed in the Maldives. It is the glowing plankton that swims at night to the very coast of the islands. A truly amazing sight and one of the reasons why tourists choose to holiday in the Maldives. A similar phenomenon can be observed along the coasts of India, Sri Lanka until February, Thailand – until March inclusive.

TOP 15 places where you can find the most beautiful black beaches

The beach is a place where three elements converge: water, earth and air, and it is difficult to find a better place to relax. Golden-white sand surrounded by green hills or sheer cliffs, blue waters of the ocean, all this caresses the eye and perfectly restores physical and mental strength. But today we will go to unusual places, and our photo tour includes incredibly beautiful black sand beaches.

1

Playa Jardin. Tenerife

The Canary Islands have long been considered heaven on earth, and Tenerife has one of the most beautiful beaches.

The black sand of the ocean coast blended into the local landscape. The ocean coast is immersed in lush green gardens, and beautiful multi-colored houses are built nearby, and waterfalls fall from coastal cliffs.

The beach complex in Puerto de la Cruz was designed by Cesar Manrique, and tourists who have been here compare this place with the paintings of famous impressionists.

By the way, Tenerife annually hosts one of the most beautiful carnivals in the world.

2

Vic. Iceland

In the country of volcanoes, and there are 130 of them on the island, there are many beautiful places and natural attractions.

One of these natural beauties is located near the village of Vik on the southern tip of Iceland. Volcanoes have caused the formation of a black sandy beach. In 1991, one of the magazines included it among the most beautiful beaches in the world, and in 2014 it entered the top 10 unusual places on our amazing planet.

Complementing the surreal picture are basalt columns facing the coast in the ocean.

On our site most-beauty.ru there is a very entertaining article about supervolcanoes, which can “explode” at any moment.

3

Maui. Hawaii

Pebble beach stretches for one and a half kilometers, and is part of the Wayanapanapa National Park complex.

Volcanic eruptions created unusual caves here, bizarre lava formations, and the coast was decorated in black.

The local tribes considered this place sacred, and therefore here, in addition to natural beauties, there are temples and ancient burial grounds.

4

Mihonomatsubara. Japan

On the Miho Peninsula, a pine grove stretches for 7. 5 km along the sea coast, which is separated from the water by a thin strip of black beach.

Biologists have calculated that more than 30,000 relic pines grow here. Mount Fuji completes the picturesque landscape, towering over this beauty.

Poets and artists rush here to draw inspiration and capture natural beauties in poetry and paintings. And pilgrims visiting the sacred mountain also go to the black sands.

5

Papenu. Tahiti

Among the white beaches of the charming island of Tahiti, the black beach in the Papenu Valley stands out sharply.

The place is surrounded by green jungle, waterfalls and rocky volcanic formations. An ideal place to retire from the busy world and think about eternal values.

Surfers from all over the world have long chosen this place to hold competitions on fast and high ocean waves.

6

Jokulsarlon. Iceland

Another coastal attraction in Iceland, where ice blocks contrast sharply with black volcanic deposits.

An ice lagoon was formed in the southeast of the island as a result of the retreat of the glacier from the Atlantic coast. The ghostly place of sparkling icebergs can be seen from the ring road, and the lagoon itself is located between two national parks.

The quiet and peaceful place has become a nesting place for many species of birds, and seals come to the shore to hunt for small fish.

On most-beauty.ru you can also enjoy the most pictures of the most beautiful places in Iceland.

7

Murivay. New Zealand

The New Zealand beach, like many of the presented photo gallery, is included in the list of the most beautiful places on the planet.

It is easily accessible by car and is located on the west coast of the North Island, 40 km from the city of Auckland. Quite large, since its length is more than 60 km.

Surfers come here, and hang gliding enthusiasts also arrange their shows. There is a surf school for beginners. Tourists note that fishing is excellent here.

8

Anse Ceron. Martinique

When you get tired of basking on the white sands of the numerous beaches of Martinique, you can retire among the black sands of an unusual beach.

It is located near the Mont Pele volcano, which at one time painted the coast black. As a result of the last eruption in 19In 32, the bottom sank, creating a convenient place for scuba diving.

Large turtles can be seen on the amazing charcoal beach, and historical sights can be visited in the surroundings.

9

Lovina. Bali

Literally the name of the amazing beach and the whole resort in Indonesia is translated as “Loving Mother Earth”. But interestingly, the first part is taken from the English language, and the second “ina” from the Balinese dialect.

The solidified lava disintegrated, and eventually a black coast formed. The beach is surrounded by fishing villages.

Tourists come here not only to admire the beautiful scenery, but also to watch the dolphins. In addition, local merchants constantly offer to buy souvenirs or seafood.

10

Black Sands Beach. California

The Pacific Ocean Beach is one of the ten most beautiful coastal areas with black sands.

Comfortable hotels with ocean views were built around it. Surfers come here all year round to ride the high waves.

In addition to the wave surfer show, tourists can watch majestic gray whales. These mammals come here in autumn and spring.

11

Lafayette. Tahiti

This part of the Tahiti coastline is very shallow and the ocean is always calm. People come here to admire the beauty of nature and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of harmony.

The coast is strewn with volcanic boulders, creating a cosmic landscape. 10 minutes from the beach is Cape Venus, or, as it is called in astronomy, Venus Point.

In the diaries of James Cook it is written that here he observed the rising of Venus. Astronomers have calculated that such a phenomenon can be observed at this point every 120 years.

12

Stoknes. Iceland

Being here, one gets the impression that he was in a sci-fi movie. And there is a black beach 20 km from the town of Hofn.

The majestic Mount Vestrachon rises above the black dunes. Photographers come here to capture sunrise or sunset. Due to the unusual refraction of the sun’s rays, the landscape changes every time.

Not far from Stokksnes Beach is the famous Vatnajökull glacier.

13

Playa Negra. Puerto Rico

A small, hidden from prying eyes, beach is located on the southwestern coast of the island of Vieques. It is hidden by high cliffs, and not even all the locals will accurately indicate its location.

Tourists will be surprised by the unusual properties of the minerals that make up the sand. It has magnetic properties, so it easily attracts metal objects.

Puerto Rican Playa Negra can only be reached on foot, but locals also offer boat routes.

14

Perissa. Greece

In Greece, as they say, everything is there. There are also black sands, stretching near Mount Vuno on the coast of Santorini.

These are not tropical wild beaches, but a civilized European holiday destination with developed infrastructure. There are restaurants right by the sea, free rental of sun loungers and umbrellas.

Despite the convenience, it is always not crowded, and romantics gather in the evening to see off the sun setting into the waves.

15

Careker. New Zealand

The surreal view of this beach can be seen in the movie The Piano. The bay is great for surfing.

Kareker is part of the National Natural Park, and is separated from the rest of the coast by the Waitakere mountain range. Nearby is a large waterfall. Hills rise all around, covered with bushy plants characteristic of this part of the planet.

Nearby there is a small settlement where you can stay while visiting a New Zealand attraction.

In conclusion

Black sand beaches are quite a rare occurrence on the planet, and therefore so fascinating and delightful. For millions of years, the volcanic rocks that sheltered the coast broke up into small particles to create such a miracle of nature.

12 most beautiful black sand beaches

In the mind of the layman, an idyllic beach is certainly associated with white sand. In pursuit of a dream, travel lovers, despite exhausting hours of flights, tend to visit the Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia and other exotic places. It’s time to get away from the platitudes. Black sand beaches are no less colorful in every sense of the word. They offer an exciting vacation and a lot of new experiences. Here are the most beautiful and popular.

Tenerife Coast

1. Shelter Cove, California, USA

Shelter Cove Beach in Humboldt County is not easy to get to. It is located on the so-called Lost Coast. This is an unexplored and sparsely populated region of northern California, famous for its impenetrable forests, deep ravines, wildlife and rocky coasts. The black sand beach is part of a state nature reserve. It can be reached by boat or by trail through the mountain range. Those who are not afraid to go on an exhausting journey will be rewarded with picturesque sea reefs and almost 5 kilometers of black sand, which is a mixture of gravuacca (sedimentary rock), dark sandstone and shale. This miracle of nature arose many thousands of years ago as a result of tectonic activity. Shelter Cove attracts lovers of secluded relaxation and unusual landscapes.

2. Samyang Beach, Jeju Island, South Korea

Jeju Island lies in the Korea Strait. It is a major tourist center and one of the few places where gambling is allowed. More than 4 million tourists come here every year. In addition to cultural attractions and a variety of entertainment for every taste, this area is famous for its natural beauty. The landscape of the island is largely defined by Mount Halla and 360 small dormant volcanoes on its slopes, which form a natural park, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Halla and volcanic activity formed black sand many millions of years ago. Night-colored dunes and crystal-clear waters make Samyang one of the island’s most visited beaches. The local sand is very soft. It is believed to have healing properties.

3. Anse Chastanet, St. Lucia

Most people think of the Caribbean islands as long, white sandy coastlines. Saint Lucia is a tropical paradise that lives up to expectations, but with a little extra. The idyllic picture is complemented by a black sand beach surrounded by lush southern vegetation. The coastal aquamarine waters are clear and perfect for scuba diving. Like other Lesser Antilles, St. Lucia is of volcanic origin, but unlike neighboring Martinique, St. Vincent and Barbados, the terrain here is mountainous, which allows you to enjoy magnificent scenery from almost anywhere on the island.

4. Point Venus, Tahiti

The famous black dunes form the island’s reputation in many ways. One of the largest Windward Islands in French Polynesia, Tahiti was formed as a result of volcanic activity, which is reflected in its geography. This tropical pearl is covered with mountains, whose slopes are covered with a carpet of emerald vegetation. Bright coral reefs are hidden under the water column, which have become home to hundreds of species of marine life. This fact makes the island an ideal place for diving and snorkeling. Since most of the coastline is covered with amazing black sand, vacationers looking for the most striking manifestations of the exotic love to visit here. The picture is complemented by a park and a lighthouse located nearby.

5. Cahuita Beach, Costa Rica

Cahuita is a small resort town next to Playa Negra, whose name translates as “black”. From December to March, surfers love to visit there, who are in the eternal search for a big wave. All year round, regardless of the season, you can admire the birds that live in the Cahuita National Park.

The park includes not only the terrestrial area with tropical forests, but also part of the sea. Here is one of the most picturesque reefs in Costa Rica. As evening falls, the city reveals itself in all the splendor of Afro-Caribbean culture. In street cafes, you can try a variety of dishes – from grilled chicken in various variations to sweet pancakes, which are Cahuita’s hallmark.

Playa Martianez, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

6. Anse Siron, Martinique

In the heart of the Caribbean lies the tiny volcanic island of Martinique, boasting not one, but four black sand beaches.

In the north lies the most famous Anse Siron, framed by a dense coconut grove and washed by the purest water. It is rightly called the “black pearl” of Martinique.

Anse Soler, surrounded by high cliffs, creates an atmosphere of mystery. It seems that it is in such a place that a pirate treasure should be buried.

Anse Noir is the only black beach on the southern tip of the island.

Playa de Saint-Pierre with ebony sand is another reminder of the island’s volcanic origin.

Whatever your choice, all beaches are ideal for water activities.

7. Lovina Beach, Bali

Bali is an amazing island rich in culture, history and natural beauty. While most travelers look for a place on the sugar-white beaches of the southern part of the resort, sophisticated aesthetes prefer black Lovina, located exactly on the opposite side.

The beach, formed by the lava flow from Mount Agung, is quiet and calm, as are the waves washing over it. That is why this piece of land has become a favorite vacation spot for lovers of long swims and calm waters.

Nearby is a fishing village and hot volcanic springs. You should come to Lovina Beach early in the morning to see the dolphins.

Playa Martianez, Puerto de la Cruz

8. El Boyuyo, Tenerife, Canary Islands

The Canary Islands, located just off the northwest coast of Africa, are of volcanic origin and consist mainly of basalt. Tenerife is not only the largest in the archipelago, but also boasts a magnificent beach with the unpronounceable name of El Boyuyo. It is located near the municipality of La Orotava. There is no good road to the beach, but this is by no means a disadvantage: the black sand coastal strip is not very crowded.

Banana groves on the way to El Boyuyo

To go down to the water, you need to follow the path through the banana grove.

9. Murivai, New Zealand

Murivai is a popular beach in the Auckland area on New Zealand’s North Island. It is famous for its black sand left over from the activity of ancient volcanoes, in particular Kaipara, which was active 16,000,000 years ago. The geodesy of the region is such that the sand, mixed with silt, is constantly drifting. The beach is popular with surfers and paragliders. There are numerous paths for walking and cycling. Many come here for the amazing fishing.

10. Vik, Iceland

The beach is located near the village of Vik, on the southernmost tip of Iceland, 180 km from Reykjavik. The harsh North Atlantic, strong winds and inhospitable climate have formed a colorful landscape.

Black sand owes its appearance to the ancient Katla volcano. It erupted for thousands of years, lava flowed into the ocean, and violent waves ground it into the finest sand and threw it ashore. The last time Katla came to life was in 1918, so it can be assumed that the process of forming the coastline has not yet been completed.

Another local attraction is the Mirdalsjokull glacier. It is constantly melting, causing soil erosion.

Basalt columns lined up along the 5 km long beach. This is the result of the work of wind and waves.

11. Agios Georgios, Santorini, Greece

Due to its unique geology, Santorini has beaches of all colors.

The island appeared as a result of a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC. The consequences of a natural disaster were so deplorable that they practically wiped out the Minoan civilization.

The beach is not very popular, and therefore lovers of a quiet and secluded holiday will like it. The black sand perfectly absorbs the sun’s heat, so the water here is warmer than in other Santorini resorts.

12. Punaluu, Hawaii, USA

Punaluu Beach, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, is famous for its black sand. The waves pulverized the volcanic lava to a safe and pleasant state.

Only extreme sportsmen will be able to swim in the local waters. The water is quite cool due to underground fresh springs flowing directly into the ocean, but here you can get up close and personal with unique animals belonging to endangered species, such as green sea turtles. They are under the vigilant protection of the state. Humpback whales and dolphins regularly come to the shores of Punaluu.

Hello. For me the best beaches are between Rethymno and Chania. They are almost wild and often nudist. But this is quite a distance. Need a wheelbarrow or a quad.

The beaches in N. Svete are pebbly. Because the village is located in a bay, then all the beaches of the village can be bypassed in 5-7 minutes. People also walk around the outskirts of the village, there are wild beaches, but they mainly consist of stones and fragments of rocks, there are also stones at the entrance to the sea, so it’s quite dangerous. Good places for swimming in the direction of the Golitsyn trail – coves, the water is clean; It is better to travel by boat than by land. More…

12 most beautiful black sand beaches magnetic sand and other amazing black beaches

Vik Beach, Iceland

The five-kilometer Vik Beach is completely covered in pitch-black sand. This is due to the nearby volcano Katla, which has erupted 14 times since the 10th century, most recently in 1918. Hundreds of years after the eruptions, volcanic lava flowed into the ocean and solidified, sea water broke it and threw particles onto the shore – this is how Vik Beach, one of the most amazing places in Iceland, was born.

Although the Icelandic climate is not conducive to long-term swimming, the local scenery is worth seeing with your own eyes: from the black beach of the beach you can clearly see basalt boulders growing out of the water and black columns “Reynisdrangar” (Reynisdrangar) or “Troll Fingers”.

Playa Jardin, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

On the island of Tenerife at the foot of the Teide volcano (this is the highest point in Spain), there is the famous Playa Jardin – an artificial black beach. It appeared on the northern coast of the island in 1993 thanks to an ingenious plan by the architect Cesar Manrique. 230,000 cubic meters of volcanic sand were raised from the sea day to the shore and protected the new black beach from the waves with a dam weighing 20 tons. Now the islanders call this place the pearl of the Puerto de la Cruz resort.

The free beach is equipped for swimming: there are sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, changing rooms, several restaurants. The blue flag of UNESCO reports that the black sand of Playa Jardin has healing properties.

Black Sand Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Waianapanapa is not the only black sand beach on the island of Maui, but unlike others, it was formed gradually. For centuries, sea waves eroded the coastal rocks of volcanic origin, their fragments turned into black sand, which settled on the coast.

In winter, there are very strong waves, so swimming is best in summer. Travelers will also be interested in seeing the black caves and stone bridges of natural origin.

Black Sand Beach, Alaska

You won’t want to take a dip in the crystal-clear water that runs up the black coast in Prince William Sound. But while kayaking, you can meet killer whales, sea otters, fur seals and seals that lie on ice floes among the mountain slopes.

Piha Beach, New Zealand

The New Zealand Islands are called the Valley of Volcanoes, and Piha Beach, like many other black beaches in New Zealand, is of volcanic origin. Piha Beach, located 50 minutes from Auckland, is a popular surf spot. Swimming here is dangerous due to strong waves, but surfers come here from all over the world to catch waves on boards.

Jökulsárlón Beach, Iceland

Black volcanic sand and blocks of ice that have broken away from Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, and landed on the shore form a very unusual Jökulsárlón beach. In the glacial lagoon of Jekulsarlon, scenes of the James Bond films A View to a Kill and Dia Another Day, episodes of Batman Begins were filmed.

Miho no Matsubara, Shizuoka, Japan

Formerly 6.5 kilometers long, snow-white beach with pine trees, Miho no Matsubara, stretching along the coast of Shizuoka city, was considered one of the most beautiful in Japan. Today, centuries-old pine trees, which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, still stand here, the same view of Mount Fuji opens from the shore, and the sand on the beach is natural black. Once upon a time, white sand on Miho no Matsubara was transported from the Abe River, but over time, the waves washed it away, and the beach turned black again due to the volcanic rock that forms the Miho Peninsula.

Punalu’u Beach, Big Island, Hawaii

The Big Island Volcano National Park (Big Island is indeed the largest of the Hawaiian Islands) is home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea. The black sand of Punaluu Beach is made up of its lava. Here live green sea turtles of a rare species, which are under the protection of the law. It is forbidden to touch them, as well as to take the black sand from the beach with you as a keepsake.

Anse Céron, Martinique

This charcoal-colored sand beach is a bright spot against the lush green of Martinique’s tropical jungle. Anse Céron is one of the few secluded beaches on the island, which is chosen by local divers. Along the rocky coast there are several shops with diving equipment.

Playa Negra, Vieques, Puerto Rico

Playa Negra is called the “black pearl” of the island of Vieques – all because the sand on this beach contains the volcanic mineral magnetite, which colors it dark. Volcanic soil rich in magnetite falls on Playa Negra along with rain flows from the slopes of Monte Pirata. Beach sand is magnetic, sticks to metal parts, changes compass readings, and turns towels black.

Models in swimsuits were photographed for Victoria’s Secret in 2015 against the backdrop of azure waves crashing on a black sandy beach.

Karekare Beach, New Zealand

New Zealand’s Karekare Beach (40 minutes drive from Auckland) became famous after the 1992 movie The Piano was released on the big screen. Fog, storm clouds and rocks hanging over a deserted beach with volcanic sand in the frame attracted the attention of travelers from all over the world to Karekare Beach.
