Data source and citation

Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Lanzarote comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.

The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.

Where to stay in Lanzarote

There are many places you could choose to stay on the island but here are some of our top picks for the perfect holiday!

Punta Mujeres

Punta Mujeres is a coastal village on the northeast coast of the island, full of small, traditional white buildings.

Historically a fishing village, the small streets and alleyways all seem to lead you to the sea. Mere minutes away from popular attractions like Jameos Del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes – Punta Mujeres is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a mix of nearby things to do and relaxing isolation.

Puerto Del Carmen

Somewhere not so isolated is Puerto Del Carmen – maybe the best known resort town on the island. Just 10 minutes from the airport, it’s a great base to explore the island from.

It has everything you’d expect from a resort town including restaurants, bars, clubs and beaches. There’s also a small fishing port called El Varadero where you’ll see lots of leisure boats moored up.

Puerto del Carmen stretches for 6km along the coastline, so be sure to check exactly where you’re planning on staying to get the most out of your location. But wherever you stay, you’re going to have everything you need just a stone’s throw away.

Like many resort towns, Puerto Del Carmen is full of energy – restaurants, bars, nightlife, you name it. But in exchange, you do lose a little of the authenticity you’ll find in smaller towns.

La Villa de Teguise

La Villa de Teguise is slightly inland, but still very close to lots of attractions and coastal areas, making it a perfect base if you’ve hired a car, and want to see as much of the island as possible.

There are few hotels, and not many organised tours stop there which makes for hushed streets and squares. But don’t mistake the quiet for isolation – the town hosts the island’s biggest street market every Sunday.

Costa Teguise

Just a 15-minute drive towards the sea away from the peaks surrounding Teguise is Lanzarote’s third largest resort – Costa Teguise.

It’s a resort town in every sense of the word – you’re never more than a 10-minute walk away from anything you could need. Costa Teguise is a purpose-built resort town, taking shape in the 1970s as an ‘upmarket alternative’ to Puerto Del Carmen, which became very popular with German and Scandinavian holidaymakers during the 1980s.

Many excursions depart from Costa Teguise, and it’s home to the only water park on the island. The seafront promenade will walk you past all five of the main beaches, and the sunset views here are just as fantastic as Puerto Del Carmen.

Where to eat in Lanzarote

Food in Lanzarote has been shaped by a range of cultural influences including Spanish and South American cuisine. From papas arrugadas (Canarian potatoes) to Sancocho (fish stew) there’s plenty to delight your tastebuds. Here is a small selection of our favourite places.

Jameos Del Agua

Who’d have guessed that one of the best places to eat in Lanzarote was underground? Jameos del Agua is a museum, gallery, restaurant and landmark all rolled into one.

The Jameos Del Agua are a collection of caves created by lava, and renovated by artist and architect César Manrique. When you first head into the caves, you’ll find the Jameos Del Agua restaurant. With a delicious menu full of traditional Spanish and Canarian cuisine, as well as crowd pleasing dishes like burgers and soups, you’ll find something for everyone.

Get your tastebuds excited with local favourites smoked Canarian grilled cheese served with tomato marmalade or ‘papas arrugadas de Lanzarote con mojo’ – salted wrinkly potatoes served with a Canarian spicy sauce – a perfect alternative to chips!

El Sibarita

There’s definitely a joy to be found in a warm, local restaurants like El Sibarita, in Caleta De Famara. The town is a watersport paradise attracting surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers alike.

El Sibarita is proudly a small business that sources delicious local ingredients for their home-cooked food. They specialise in vegan, vegetarian and asian dishes, but chicken and/or prawns can be added to any dish. Big, mouth-watering rice bowls and delicious veggie burgers await.

Mirador del Río

Ok, so this one isn’t really about the food. You’ll get a good lunch at Mirador del Río but the main reason you should eat here is for the view. Mirador del Rio is a lookout point set on the northernmost point of the island, and it’s 400m high.

Two enormous glass windows give you incredible views out of the sea and the nearby island of La Graciosa, home to only around 700 people.

El Diablo

Lanzarote has a couple of truly unique places to eat, and one of these is El Diablo in Timanfaya National Park. A uniquely shaped building on a peak in the middle of the Fire Mountains, El Diablo has panoramic floor to ceiling windows, giving you 360 degree views of the landscape around you. The park is famous for looking eerily like you’re on another planet.

Not only that but the restaurant cooks using volcanic heat from below the ground. As the theatrical displays for visitors outside will show you, there’s intense volcanic heat just below ground level. Using a huge grilling shelf placed on top of a deep shaft into the ground below, they channel that volcanic heat to flame grill the food for the restaurant.

Canarian flavours star in the menu from beginning to end. To start you can enjoy local cheeses, Iberian ham or garlic prawns. Meat dishes are El Diablo’s speciality – there’s a choice of chicken, beef or lamb.

Make sure you leave enough space for dessert where you can choose between the ‘Explosive Lanzarote volcano over brownie soil’ or the torched creme brulee.

Blooming Cactus

In the big and bustling resort town of Puerto del Carmen, you’ll find all manner of lively Irish bars and crowd-pleasing restaurants. A walk around the dock, El Varadero, is a perfect way to spend the evening.

But look for the smaller, rustic places and you’ll find Blooming Cactus – an independent vegetarian restaurant a little off the beaten track. With a fantastic greek mezze themed menu it might not sound very traditional to Lanzarote, you can’t have tapas all week! If you want to try something a little different while you’re away then Blooming Cactus is the ideal place.

The Cactus Garden

Another spot that makes for a fantastic place to grab something to eat is the Jardin de Cactus, or the Cactus Garden

The cafe sits on one of the higher levels overlooking the garden and is shaped like a giant succulent bowl. The shape protects you from the wind, and they serve a pretty unique dish – a cactus burger! This vegetarian burger is made of a blend of different ingredients, including cactus, and has a fantastic looking colour.

The cafe also offers a selection of tapas and light snacks. Local cheeses, cold meats and Canarian potatoes are on offer alongside a wide selection of drinks to compliment your food, including a Canarian cactus liquor.

Things to do in Lanzarote

With so many things to do on Lanzarote it’s hard to pick just a few, so here are some of our favourite places to help you plan your trip!

Timanfaya National Park

Arguably the most famous of all places to visit on Lanzarote is Timanfaya National Park. It’s a huge protected reserve set in a volcanic mountain range, made up entirely of volcanic soil.

Nearly 300 years ago the volcanoes in this region began a 6-year eruption making the surrounding landscape completely unrecognisable. What was once green and fertile was transformed into an almost lifeless region of craters, boulders and lava fields, all with a startling red tinge and the occasional bellow of steam.

The volcanic activity continues today just beneath your feet – in fact, you’ll be shown that when you visit. Water is poured into holes in the ground that go just 13 meters below where it’s hot enough to make the water boil instantly, resulting in very loud steam geysers!

They also use this natural volcanic heat to grill the food in the restaurant, El Diablo. Where else can you say you’ve had lunch cooked by a volcano!

If you’d rather get off the coach you can also book a guided hike through some of its more rugged terrain, including up to the grumbling peak of the volcano. Keep your eyes peeled for the statue of “El Diablo” by local artist César Manrique while you’re there too.

Just make sure you book any tours in advance, as access to the park is regulated to protect the delicate flora and wildlife.

El Golfo

El Golfo is a small seaside village on the outskirts of Timanfaya national park, but the two main reasons people visit are found just outside the village.

Looking down from the cliffside pathway, you’ll pass a beautiful black sand beach lined with volcanic rocks. The rocks act as a breakwater, and the tall white waves crashing against them really are a sight to behold.

Keep following the path round and you’ll find a great view of the famous El Lago Verde – The Green Lake. It’s teeming with volcanic minerals and micro-organisms which give it its vivid green colour.

Jameos Del Agua

Jameos Del Agua was the first tourist destination created by Lanzarote’s famous César Manrique. It’s a real cross section of art, design and nature with an auditorium, gardens and a fantastic restaurant.

A staircase follows the slope of the lava tunnel down to a pool home of the fascinating blind lobster – an endemic local species.

César Manrique wanted to give visitors somewhere to contemplate a natural attraction, formed almost entirely without human intervention. The gardens in the open-air section of the caves were designed with this in mind too.

La Villa de Teguise

If you’re looking for something authentic look no further than La Villa de Teguise – a historic village in the eastern part of the island. Dating back to 1402, it’s the oldest Spanish settlement in the whole of the Canaries, and was the capital of the island for 450 years until Arrecife took the title in 1852.

The main town of Teguise is known as La Villa. It’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy some peace and get a feel for the real Lanzarote. There are few hotels, and not many organised tours stop here which makes for hushed streets and squares that perfectly preserve the past.

Expect cobbled streets, small white buildings and fruit trees – the perfect example of a Spanish village.

Santa Bárbara Castle

The Fortress of Santa Bárbara is the island’s oldest castle, and watches over the village of Teguise below. As one of the tallest peaks in the area, the castle watches over most of the eastern side of the island. The view is incredible, and the crater of the extinct volcano, Mount Guanapay, will remind you how volatile this island’s geography once was.

Inside the castle it’s been given new life as a pirate museum. The position of the Canary Islands made them a popular supply stop for ships heading to and from the Americas, which in turn made it an attractive hunting ground for pirates for a few hundred years.

The museum leads you onto the roof of the castle, where you’ll see why it made such a great lookout for the village below. Because it’s so high up it can get a little windy so hold on tight!

Mirador del Río

Designed by César Manrique, Mirador del Río is the island’s most famous viewpoint. Camouflaged with a coating of volcanic rock, this iconic landmark almost vanishes into the cliff face.

Two glass windows on the front of the building are nicknamed the eyes of the Mirador and the view from the top is stunning. The two panoramic windows make up an entire side of the lookout, which is built in the remains of an ancient military base. César Manrique’s style is everywhere, and the interior looks more like a lava bubble than a military bunker.

Grab a light lunch in the café and head up to the rooftop terrace. The view is even better that the balcony below and you can look out in all directions, and really soak up the sea air while you enjoy the views.

Punta Mujeres

The gorgeous village of Punta Mujeres is often overlooked by tourists as they pass it on their way to bigger attractions like Jameos del Agua, just a few minutes away.

A traditional fishing village, Punta Mujeres translates as ‘Women’s Point’, and is so called because of the women who would wait there for their husbands to return from fishing voyages.

The buildings have pretty terraces and balconies looking out to sea to make the most of the beautiful views. But Punta Mujeres’ biggest draw is the natural bathing pools.

Filled with seawater and protected by huge breakwaters of naturally occurring rocks, swim in these pools at the right time of day and you’ll get to experience the waves smashing against these rocks making huge plumes of spray.

Jardín de Cactus

Jardín de Cactus or the Cactus Garden, is just ten minutes drive away from Punta Mujeres – five minutes along the coast, and into the mountains.

A large, traditional windmill is the highest point in the garden, and it’s visible from the road. The entrance of the garden is obscured, and although the landscape surrounding it is pretty dry, passing through the entrance is like passing into another world.

The garden has cacti of all kinds of incredible shapes and sizes. Some cacti are trees, some are bushes, some have branches and some are balls. The shape of the garden does an incredible job of hiding the beauty until you pass right through the entrance.

The Cactus Garden was Lanzarote’s last gift from César Manrique. He died in 1992, at 72 years old, just a year after the Cactus Garden was completed.

César Manrique Foundation

César Manrique’s name is everywhere. The contributions that he made to both art and tourism are inescapable when you’re exploring the island. Shortly after Manrique died in 1992, his home was opened to the public under the name Fundacion César Manrique, or the César Manrique foundation. Visitors are able to experience where he lived, learn about the man and how he shaped the history of the island.

Manrique’s activism criticised the tourism boom of the 70’s and 80’s, challenging the get-rich-quick attitude of hotel developers building as quickly as possible to grab their share of this new business. He’s a big reason why you won’t see many high rise hotels on the island. His vocal protests helped elevate him as a hero for Lanzarote, and his influence forced the tourism industry to think more sustainably.

LGBTQ+ Travellers

Although Gran Canaria is the more famous Canary Island among the LGBTQ+ community, Lanzarote is equally friendly and laid back in their attitudes. If a venue isn’t exclusively for LGBTQ+ people you’ll still find yourself welcome wherever you choose to party!

could beaming sunlight back to Earth meet our energy needs? – Physics World

The notion of capturing sunlight in space and beaming it to Earth has long been the stuff of science fiction. But as Jon Cartwright discovers, governments around the world are now taking “space-based solar power” seriously as a potential solution to our energy needs

(Courtesy: Mark Garlick / Science Photo Library)

The theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson once imagined an alien civilization that was so advanced that it had surrounded its parent star with a giant, artificial shell. The inner surface of this “Dyson sphere” would capture solar radiation and transfer it towards collection points, where it would be converted into usable energy. Such a notion remains science fiction, but could a similar principle be used at a much smaller scale to harness the power of our own Sun?

After all, beyond the clouds, in the nightless blaze of near-Earth space, there is more uninterrupted solar power than humanity could realistically require for centuries to come. That’s why a group of scientists and engineers has, for more than 50 years, been dreaming up techniques to capture this energy in space and beam it back to ground.

“Space-based solar power”, as it’s known, has two huge benefits over traditional methods for tapping into the Sun and the wind. First, putting a sunlight-capturing satellite in space means we wouldn’t need to cover vast swathes of land on Earth with solar panels and wind farms. Second, we’d have an ample supply of energy even when, despite local weather conditions, it’s overcast or the wind has petered out.

And that’s the trouble with solar energy and wind power here on Earth: they can never meet our energy demands on a consistent basis, even if greatly expanded. Researchers at the University of Nottingham estimated last year that, if the UK were to rely totally on these renewable sources, the country would need to store more than 65 terawatt-hours of energy. That would cost over £170bn, more than twice that of the country’s forthcoming high-speed rail network (Energies 14 8524).

Most efforts to realize space-based solar power have, unfortunately, hit seemingly intractable technical and economic problems. But times are changing. Innovative satellite designs, as well as much lower launch costs, are suddenly making space-based solar power seem like a realistic solution. Japan has written it into law as a national goal, while the European Space Agency has put out a call for ideas. China and the US are both building test facilities.

Meanwhile, a consultation published by the UK government in 2021 concluded that space-based solar power is technically and economically feasible. Tantalizingly, it reckoned that this technological solution could be put into practice 10 years before the 2050 “net zero” goal of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So is space-based solar power the answer to our climate’s woes? And if so, what’s preventing it from becoming a reality?

Space dreams

The original concept of solar power from space was dreamt up in 1968 by Peter Glaser, a US engineer at the consultancy Arthur D Little. He envisaged placing a huge disc-shaped satellite in geostationary orbit some 36,000 km above the Earth (Science 162 857). The satellite, roughly 6 km in diameter, would be made of photovoltaic panels to collect sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. This energy would then be turned into microwaves using a tube amplifier and beamed to Earth via a 2 km-diameter transmitter.

It’s the only form of green, renewable energy with the potential to provide continuous, baseline electrical power.

The beauty of microwaves is they don’t get absorbed by clouds here on Earth and so would pass largely (though not totally) unhindered through our atmosphere. Glaser envisaged them being collected by a fixed antenna 3 km in diameter, where they would be converted into electricity for the grid. “Although the use of satellites for conversion of solar energy may be several decades away,” he wrote, “it is possible to explore several aspects of the required technology as a guide to future developments.”

The initial reaction was positive in at least some quarters, with NASA awarding Glaser’s company, Arthur D Little, a contract for further study. Over the years, however, the conclusions of subsequent studies into space-based solar power have ranged from cautiously positive to outwardly negative.

This concept for space-based solar power builds on the original 1968 proposals devised by the US engineer Peter Glaser. Known as the Multi-Rotary Joints Solar Power Satellite (MR-SPS), it was invented in 2015 by Hou Xinbin and others at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing. The 10,000-tonne satellite, which is about 12 km wide, would move in a geostationary orbit roughly 36,000 km above the Earth, with sunlight collected by solar panels and converted into microwaves that are beamed to Earth by a central transmitter. To allow power to be transmitted continually to us, the photovoltaic panels can turn to face the Sun relative to the central transmitter, which always faces Earth. The solar panels and transmitter are connected by a singular rectangular scaffold. Unlike rival designs, the MR-SPS concept does not rely on mirrors.

In 2015, for example, the technology received no more than a lukewarm verdict in a report from the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the US Army War College, which cited “no compelling evidence” that space solar power could be economically competitive with terrestrial power generation. The SSI particularly criticized the “questionable assumptions” made by its proponents regarding getting such a huge orbiting structure into space. Simply put, the report stated that there aren’t enough launch vehicles, and those that are available are too expensive.

But the SSI’s less-than-glowing verdict came before private companies – especially SpaceX – began to transform the space industry. By combining reusable rocket systems with a trial-and-error attitude to research and development, the US firm has, over the last decade, slashed the cost of launch into near-Earth orbit by more than a factor of 10 (per kilo of payload), with plans to reduce it by an order of magnitude further. What the SSI considered a major limitation about launch costs is, in fact, no longer an issue.

Not that the cost of getting a satellite into space has been the only sticking point. Glaser’s original concept was deceptively simple, with many hidden challenges. For starters, as a satellite orbits the Earth, the angle between the Sun, the craft and the point on Earth to which the energy is sent is constantly changing. For example, if a geostationary satellite is trained on Earth, its photovoltaics will be facing the Sun at noon but have their backs to the Sun at midnight. In other words, the satellite would not generate electricity all the time.

The original solution to this problem was to continually rotate the photovoltaic panels relative to the microwave transmitters, which would stay fixed. The photovoltaic panels would then always point towards the Sun, while the transmitters would always face Earth. First put forward in 1979 by NASA as a development of Glaser’s ideas, the solution was extended further in a 2015 proposal by engineers at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing, who dubbed it Multi-Rotary Joints Solar Power Satellite, or MR-SPS (figure 1).

Meanwhile, John Mankins, a former NASA engineer, invented a rival solution in 2012. Dubbed SPS Alpha, his idea was to keep the solar panels and transmitter fixed, but install numerous mirrors surrounding the panels (figure 2). Known as heliostats, these mirrors would be able to rotate, continuously redirecting sunlight onto the solar panels and thereby allowing the satellite to supply power to the Earth without a break.

In the SPS-Alpha concept, invented by former NASA engineer John Mankins in the US, the main body of the satellite – the solar panels and transmitter – is fixed and always faces Earth. Stationed in a geostationary orbit, the 8000-tonne satellite consists of a disc-shaped array of modules that convert sunlight to electricity via photovoltaics, and then transmit that energy as microwaves. Connected to this 1700 m diameter array is a separate, larger, dome-shaped array of mirrors, which independently turn to reflect sunlight to the array, depending on where the Sun is positioned relative to Earth in the geostationary orbit.

Neither MR-SPS nor SPS Alpha, however, is satisfactory, according to Ian Cash, director and chief engineer at International Electric Company Limited in Oxfordshire, UK. A former designer of electronic systems in the automotive, aerospace and energy sectors, Cash turned his mind a decade ago to the private development of clean, large-scale sources of energy. Initially lured by the potential of nuclear fusion, he was put off by its “really difficult” problems and quickly alighted on space-based solar power as the most practical option.

For Cash, the problem with both MR-SPS and SPS Alpha is that they have to rotate some parts of the satellite relative to others. Every part would therefore have to be physically connected to another and need an articulated joint that moves. Trouble is, when used on satellites like the International Space Station, such joints can fail due to wear and tear. Omitting articulated joints would make a solar-power satellite more reliable, Cash concluded. “I wanted to find out what it would take to have a solid-state solution that always sees the Sun and Earth,” he says.

By 2017 Cash had figured it out, or so he claims. His CASSIOPeiA concept is a satellite that essentially looks like a spiral staircase, with the photovoltaic panels being the “treads” and the microwave transmitters – rod-shaped dipoles – being the “risers”. Its clever helical geometry means that CASSIOPeiA can receive and transmit solar energy 24 hours a day, with no moving parts (figure 3).

Cash, who intends to profit from CASSIOPeiA by licensing the related intellectual property, claims many other benefits to his concept. His proposed satellite can be built of hundreds (and possibly thousands) of smaller modules linked together, with each module capturing solar energy, converting it electronically to microwaves and then transmitting them to Earth. The beauty of this approach is that if any one module were struck by cosmic rays or space debris, its failure wouldn’t knock out the entire system.

Another advantage of CASSIOPeiA is that the non-photovoltaic components are permanently in shadow, which minimizes heat dissipation – something that’s a problem in the convectionless vacuum of space. Finally, as the satellite is always oriented towards the Sun it can occupy more types of orbit, including those that are highly elliptical. It then would be, at times, closer to Earth than if it were geostationary, which makes it cheaper as you don’t need to scale the design on the basis of such a huge transmitter.

3 CASSIOPeiA

a The CASSIOPeiA proposal for space-based solar power, developed by Ian Cash at International Electric Company Limited in the UK, envisages a satellite with a mass up to 2000 tonnes sitting in a geosynchronous or elliptical orbit around Earth. b Sunlight strikes two huge elliptical mirrors (yellow discs), each up to 1700 m in diameter, that lie at 45° to a helical array of as many as 60,000 solar panels (grey). These panels collect the sunlight and turn it into microwaves at a specific frequency, which are then transmitted to a ground station on Earth roughly 5 km in diameter. This station converts the microwaves into electricity for the grid. The advantage of the helical geometry is that the microwaves can be constantly directed towards Earth without needing articulated joints, which often fail in space environments. c The microwaves are instead steered via adjustments to the relative phase of solid-state dipoles.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cash’s competitors do not agree with his assessment. Mankins, who is now based at Artemis Innovation Management Solutions in California, US, disputes that the articulated heliostats in his SPS-Alpha concept are a problem. Instead, he claims they are “a simple extension of [a] very mature technology” that is already used to concentrate sunlight to heat fluids and drive turbines in “solar towers” here on Earth. He also believes that the dual mirrors required by CASSIOPeiA could be a problem as they must be very precisely built.

“I have high regard for Ian and his work; his more recent CASSIOPeiA concept is one of several that are very similar in character, including SPS-Alpha,” says Mankins. “However, I don’t agree with his expectation that CASSIOPeiA will prove to be superior to SPS-Alpha.” For Mankins, the best approach to space-based solar power will ultimately depend on the results of development projects, with the actual cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity here on Earth being the crucial factor.

Scalable and striking

Interest in space solar power has received an added boost in the wake of the UK government’s 2021 report into the technology, which could scarcely have been more positive about the concept. It was drawn up by engineers at the UK-based consultancy Frazer-Nash, who corresponded with a number of space-engineering and energy experts – including the inventors of SPS Alpha, MR-SPS and CASSIOPeiA.

The report concluded that a 1.7 km-wide CASSIOPeiA satellite in geostationary orbit transmitting solar radiation to a 100 km²array of microwave receivers (or “rectenna”) located here on Earth would generate 2 GW of continuous power. That’s equivalent to the output from a large conventional power station. It’s also far better than, say, the existing London Array wind farm in the Thames estuary, which is about 25% larger but generates an average power of barely 190 MW.

More striking, however, was the report’s economic analysis. Based on an estimate that a full-sized system would cost £16.3bn to develop and launch, and allowing for a minimum rate of return on investment of 20% year-on-year, it concluded that a space-based solar-power system could, over its roughly 100-year lifetime, generate energy at £50 per MWh.

Frazer-Nash says that’s 14–52% more expensive than current terrestrial wind and solar energy. But, critically, it’s 39–49% cheaper than biomass, nuclear or the most efficient gas energy sources, which are the only ones currently able to offer uninterrupted “base load” power. The report’s authors also said that their conservative estimate for costings “would be expected to reduce as development proceeds”.

“It’s incredibly scalable,” says Martin Soltau of Frazer-Nash, one of the authors. And with the level of sunlight in the space around Earth being far brighter than down below, he reckons every solar module would collect 10 times as much as it would if installed on the ground. The report reckons that the UK would need a total of 15 satellites – each with its own rectenna – to provide a quarter of the country’s energy needs by 2050. Each rectenna could be located alongside or even within an existing wind farm.

If the scheme were scaled up further, it could in principle deliver over 150% of all global electricity demand (although a resilient energy supply would usually dictate a broad mix of sources). Space-based solar power, Soltau adds, would also have a much lower impact on the environment than Earth-based renewable energy sources. The carbon footprint would be small, there would be few demands on rare-earth minerals, and there would, unlike wind turbines, be no noise or tall visible structures.

If that all sounds too good to be true, it might well be. The Frazer-Nash report admits to several “development issues”, notably finding ways to make wireless energy transfer more efficient. Chris Rodenbeck, an electrical engineer from the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC, says that large-scale demonstrations of the technology are hard to achieve. They require sustained investments and targeted advances in electronic components, such as high-power rectifier diodes, which are not readily available.

Fortunately, wireless energy transmission has been advancing for decades. In 2021 Rodenbeck’s team sent 1.6 kW of electrical power over a distance of 1 km, with a microwave-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 73%. On the face of it, that’s less impressive than the most powerful demonstration of wireless energy to date, which took place in 1975 when staff at NASA’s Goldstone lab in California converted 10 GHz microwaves to electricity at an efficiency of above 80%. Crucially, however, Rodenbeck used lower-frequency 2.4 GHz microwaves, which would suffer much less atmospheric loss in space.

To counteract the higher diffraction (beam spreading) that naturally occurs at lower frequencies, the researchers exploited the surrounding terrain to “bounce” the microwaves towards the receiver array, thereby improving power density by 70% (IEEE J. Microw. 2 28). “We did [the test] fairly quickly and cheaply during the global pandemic,” says Rodenbeck. “We could have achieved more.”

Initial construction will require a 24/7 factory in space, with an assembly line like a car factory on Earth.

Yang Gao, University of Surrey

Rodenbeck is optimistic about the prospects of space-based solar power. Whereas nuclear fusion is, he claims, “running up against basic problems of physics”, space-based solar power – and wireless power transfer – is merely “running up against dollars”. “[It’s] the only form of green, renewable energy with the potential to provide continuous, baseline electrical power,” Rodenbeck claims. “Barring a technical breakthrough [in] controlled nuclear fusion, it seems highly likely that humanity will harness space solar power for future energy needs.”

A note of caution, though, comes from Yang Gao, a space engineer at the University of Surrey in the UK, who admits that “the sheer scale” of the proposed space system “is quite mind-blowing”. She believes the initial construction might well require “a 24/7 factory in space, with an assembly line like a car factory on Earth”, probably using autonomous robots. As for maintaining the facility, once built, Gao says that would be “demanding”.

For Cash, what’s crucial is the orbit that a space-power satellite would occupy. A geostationary solar-power satellite would be so far from Earth that it would require huge and expensive transmitters and rectennas to transmit energy efficiently. But by taking advantage of multiple satellites on shorter, highly elliptical orbits, says Cash, investors could realize smaller working systems on the CASSIOPeiA concept with a fraction of the capital. SPS Alpha and MR-SPS, in contrast, would have to be full sized from day one.

Is there enough will?

And yet the biggest challenge for space-based solar power may not be economic or technical, but political. In a world where substantial numbers of people believe in conspiracy theories surrounding 5G mobile technology, beaming gigawatts of microwave power from space to Earth could prove a tough sell – despite the maximum beam intensity being barely 250 W/m², less than a quarter of the maximum solar intensity at the equator.

In fact, the UK report admits that its proponents need to test the public appetite, and to “curate a conversation” around the key ideas. But there are real technical and societal considerations, too. Where will the rectennas be sited? How will the satellites be decommissioned at their end of life without adding to space junk? Will there be space in the microwave spectrum left for anything else? And will the system be vulnerable to attack?

In the wake of its report, the UK government unveiled a £3m fund to help industries develop some of the key technologies, with former business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng saying that space-based solar power “could provide an affordable, clean and reliable source of energy for the whole world”. That pot of cash is unlikely to go far towards an undertaking of this scale, which is why Soltau has helped to set up a business called Space Solar, which hopes to raise an initial £200m from private investors.

Meanwhile, what he calls a “collaboration of the willing”, the Space Energy Initiative, has gathered scientists, engineers and civil servants from over 50 academic institutions, companies and government bodies, who are working pro bono to help bring a working system to fruition. SpaceX is not yet on the list, but Soltau claims to have caught the US company’s attention. “They’re very interested,” he says.

Cash does not doubt that investment will be found. Terrestrial renewables can’t deliver uninterrupted, base-load power without enormously costly battery infrastructure, while nuclear always faces stiff opposition. Space-based solar power, Cash believes, is a vital part of the mix if we’re to hit net-zero, and simply asking people to use less energy is a “dangerous idea”. Most wars have been fought over a perceived lack of resources,” he says. “If we don’t look at how to keep civilization moving forward, the alternative is very scary.”

Beautiful, good hotel on an unusual, original small island – Review of Barcelo Lanzarote Active Resort, Costa Teguise, Spain

Rest 15-22 November. Weather … and sunny, and cloudy, and rainy. The information that rains are rare is not entirely true. But at the same time, the air temperature during the day is stable, approximately +22.
*. Description.
The hotel is located in the resort town of Costa Teguise, not far from Arrecife (the capital of Lanzarote), where there is an airport and where all tourists (holidays) arrive. Aircraft, despite the proximity, are not seen, not heard.
The hotel is designed in such a way that almost all rooms (if not the 1st floor) can see the pool, the ocean, beautiful landscaping in the form of bushes, trees, palm trees and cacti.
The ocean is close to the hotel – across the road, on which you rarely see a passing car.
And there is an underground passage, for the convenience of vacationers. But! The coast is covered with black large stones!
And between the stones there is sand, but it is so small that only 6-8 people can find a place where to sunbathe on a bedspread (towel). It is necessary to go into the water because of the stones very carefully and only when there are no waves.
Where there are stones, there are also fish, so lovers of snorkeling will be interested in seeing the underwater world (there are fish that are found in the Red Sea). I didn’t see sea urchins, although someone wrote in the reviews that they met.
Due to the availability of such a not very convenient beach, a comfortable bus runs free of charge from the hotel to the sandy large beach of Las Cucheras. Travel time 10 minutes.
With the hotel, across the road, there are souvenir shops nearby, a small Spar grocery store, car rental, bicycle rental.
*Number.
The room was considered on the 2nd level, which is actually the 3rd (4th) floor, because there is a 0-very high floor, and there is – (minus) 1 floor …. Rest on November 15-22. Weather … and sunny, and cloudy, and rainy. The information that rains are rare is not entirely true. But at the same time, the air temperature during the day is stable, approximately +22.

The staff at the reception is pleasant, friendly, always ready to solve any issue – even if you do not speak English well. They know French, German, and a few words of Russian.
The room is very large, spacious, clean. In the room, but only upon arrival, a bottle of mineral water was offered.
There was an electric kettle, tea bags, coffee bags, sugar, tea mugs with saucers, spoons, glasses on the tray. The refrigerator is small built under the table. TV on the wall – 80 programs are configured, but not in Russian.
The bed is comfortable, wide, the bed linen is perfectly clean, and + 3 types of pillows.
The loggia is very spacious, large, with a high side railing, so you can’t see or hear your neighbors. On the loggia – 2 deck chairs, 2 chairs. Pull-out dryer for swimwear.
WC is also not cramped, clean. White towels for face, shower and 1 for feet. And of course, there is shower gel, soap, shampoo in small bottles, lotion cream.
The safe is hidden in the closet, but it costs 3.0E per day. When you check in and pay for the use, you will be given an additional chip. If you don’t pay for the service, you won’t be able to use the safe.
Towels for sunbeds, which are located by the pool, you can take at the reception, giving a cash deposit.
*. Meals
We took breakfast and dinner. Breakfasts like breakfasts, in the morning freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, milkshakes, porridge, yogurts, milk, even champagne (at no extra charge), coffee from the machine – which one you choose (latte, espresso, with milk, etc.), tea bags .
Dinners are very good, varied, not repetitive. There were sushi, and mussels, and shrimps. There are always several types of pizza, soups, several types of potatoes, vegetables for vegetarians, fish, meat dishes, delicious sweet melons, watermelons, oranges, bananas and kiwis, ice cream. Do not list everything.
But! At dinner, all drinks – water, wine, beer, champagne – for an additional fee! – at the entrance to the restaurant, they give out a paper-check with the room number, where the waiters enter the bill for you, which will have to be paid upon exit.
*. Animation
Animation in the hotel is. And not bad. On the interactive stand you can find the schedule of classes, games, concerts (in the evening). True, sometimes the evening loud music in the hall interferes with the peace of vacationers – you can hear it in the rooms, but after 23.00 silence sets in.
Yoga classes, aqua aerobics are held during the day. There are outdoor tennis courts on site. For children there is a special room where special staff are engaged with children.
*.Excursions.
Impressive, unusual excursion to the volcanoes, to the Timanfaya park. Can be recommended to everyone! There is an excursion, but rarely, with a Russian-speaking guide – Julija. You will not regret!
You can rent a car – it’s very common here. Everyone drives calmly, carefully, without sound signals, without exceeding speed; the roads are good. So be bold! The cost of a car depends on the brand, on the size and comfort of the car, on the number of rented days (at least a day). Immediately, when drawing up the contract, they will give out a good map of the island, mark the places that you need / can visit. And there are a lot of them on a small island (20 km x 60 km), and all of them are unusual, beautiful.
Recommended: Cactus Park, Cueva de los Verdes Cave, Rancho Texas Zoo, Green Lake and El Golfo Lagoon.
Lanzarote is a very unusual, original, seaside resort for beach and outdoor activities.

How Big Is Spain Compared To The US?

This page may contain compensated links. For more information read our disclaimer here

Spain is the fourth largest country in Europe, according to the total dimensions of its area, so it’s not exactly small.

And not only that, the area within Spain encompasses a multitude of different microclimates, regions, cultures, ecosystems, and more.

There is plenty of variety within Spain, as the country has a lot to offer!

That being said, being big within Europe doesn’t exactly do much when it comes to comparisons with the rest of the world. Europe is made out of small countries, so being one of the biggest doesn’t make you “big.”

In fact, let’s take a leap over to the American continent…how big is Spain compared to the United States? (Spoiler, not very big at all!)

You know how we said that Spain is the fourth largest country in Europe?

Yeah, well, the United States is the fourth largest country in the world as a whole. (In the worldwide list, Spain comes at number 52, a fair bit further down).

So it’s safe to say that the United States is way bigger than Spain and, in comparison, Spain is…pretty small.

But exactly how much smaller is Spain compared to the US? How do the dimensions of both countries compare and contrast?

Let’s get right into it!

Size Comparison: Spain Vs. US
It’s more than safe to say that Spain is a lot smaller than the United States, but let’s find out exactly by how much.

If we’re being exact, Spain is around 19 times smaller than the US. This means that you could fit 19 Spains inside of the United States, before running out of space.

So imagine the size of Spain, now multiply that by 19, and you roughly get the size of the US. It’s a pretty big difference, isn’t it?

Spain is 505 square kilometers big (194.9 square miles) give or take. The United States, on the other hand, is around 9,833.5 square kilometers (3796. 7 square miles) big. And that kind of says it all.

The population also reflects this massive difference in size. Spain has approximately just over 47 million people, while the United States has 329.5 million people.

But let’s look at some other ways of measuring size in a country. Specifically, we will go over the area (again), as well as the coastal length, and the land per capita.

Area
The overall area, measured in square kilometers (or squared miles), is the main way of quantifying the total size of a country, as it encompasses all of its lands and, therefore, the space it takes up within the world.

(And yes, this usually also contains any land from islands that belong to the country. It’s essentially any and all land belonging to the country in question.)

As we already mentioned, Spain has an overall area of approximately 194.9 square miles, while the United States has an overall area of approximately 3796.7 square miles.

Coastal Length
The coastal length of a country is essentially the length of all coastal territory if it was to be straightened out into a line.

So, it is the total length of the parts of the country’s perimeter that are in direct contact with oceans or seas. Basically, it measures up the coastal territory.

Usually, Spain has a decent shot at being amongst the biggest, when it comes to coastal length at all, and that is because most of its perimeter is by ocean or sea.

After all, Spain makes up the majority of Iberian peninsula (along with Portugal), so it is completely surrounded by water, except for in the north, where it is adjoined to France.

However…the United States takes up most of the North American continent and ranges from one side to the other, so it also has a fair bit of coastal territory.

To be exact, Spain has 3,084 miles of coastline, ranking at number 26 within the world. The United States, on the other hand, has 95,471 miles of coastline, ranking at number 8 within the world.

So the United States has almost 30 times as much coastline as Spain does. Again, the difference is huge!

Land Per Capita
Per capita is a term that comes from Latin and translates into “by head”. So it is usually used, within official and scientific statistics, to describe the amount of something per head, which essentially means per person.

So land per capita is basically just the amount of land there is per person, taking into account both the area of land belonging to the country and the average population.

This is always an interesting measure to take into account within a country, as there’s a big difference between a country feeling crowded, or empty.

If a country is small but there aren’t many people, then it will feel bigger because you will have more space between things and to yourself.

Meanwhile, even if a country is huge, if the population is equally massive, everything might feel crowded, giving the impression that there isn’t much space at all!

So, how does the land per capita compare between Spain and the US?

Spain has around 12.34 square kilometers for every 1000 people (miles). Meanwhile, the United States has around 30.16 square kilometers for every 1000 people (miles).

Final Thoughts
Okay, so let’s sum this up. How big is Spain compared to the US? The answer is not very big at all.

In fact, Spain is 19 times smaller than the United States, meaning that you could fit 19 Spains inside the United States, more or less. (Remember that all the measurements we go through are approximations!)

The US has a bigger overall area, a larger coastal length, and far more land per capita. So not only is it bigger, but it also feels bigger because there is more space per person!

The overwhelming conclusion is that, in comparison, Spain is small next to the sheer size of the US. Although within Europe, Spain is actually the fourth biggest country!

Geography

Spain (formally known as the Kingdom of Spain/Reino de España) is the largest country in southern Europe. With a total area of 505,990 square kilometers (195,260 square miles), Spain is the second largest country in western Europe, and the fourth largest on the European continent.

The country of Spain shares its borders with a number of other nations, including Portugal to the west, France to the north, and Andorra to the northeast. It also shares a border with Morocco, thanks to its North African exclaves of Melilla, Cueta, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera.

Spain is officially divided up into fifteen autonomous communities (comunidad autónoma) as well as two autonomous cities (Melilla and Ceuta). Each of these communities has its own culture and is governed by its own constitution known as the Statutes of Autonomy.

Since there are so many autonomous communities throughout the country, Spain can be broken down into five major regions; water boundaries, inner plateau, eastern mountains, lowlands and the island communities.

Sierra Nevada National Park

Water boundaries

The water boundaries of Spain, as the name suggests, are located in the northern and southern sections of the country near the water. This Bay of Biscay marks the northern coast of the country while the Mediterranean Sea and Alboran Sea mark the southeastern coast of the country.

In the north, the water boundary includes the autonomous communities of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, and the Basque Country. This region of Spain is known for its lush rolling hills and forests due to the high amount of rainfall it receives each year.

The Cantabrian Mountains (Cordillera Cantábrica) separate this northern region from the dry central plateau of the country. These communities together are known as Green Spain, with moderate seasons compared to other regions of Spain.

The southern water boundary consists of the autonomous communities of Andalusia, Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia. Much of this southern region, especially the community of Andalusia, is known for its hot and dry summers. While the coastal regions are known for being hot and dry, southern Spain is also home to the tallest peaks in the Iberian peninsula, located within the Sierra Nevada.

Lowland Regions

The most prominent lowland region in Spain is the Andalusian Plain that lies in the southwest of the country. However, the Lowland Regions of Spain can also include the separate Ebro Basin in the northeast of the country. Though these basins form distinct landscapes, there are a sub-region of the larger regions listed above.

The Andalusian Plain is a wide river basin that the Rio Guadalquivir flows through. The basin narrows where the Sierra Morena and Sistema Penibetico meet. The Ebro basin lies within the Rio Ebro valley. The valley is surrounded by the Sistema Ibérico and the Pyrenees.

Guadalquivir river

Island region

The final region of Spain consists of the Balearic Islands (Islas Baleares/Illes Balears) and the Canary Islands (Islas Canarias).

The Balearic Islands lie just 80 km (50 miles) off the coast of eastern Spain and cover 5,000 square kilometers (1,930 square miles) of land. The mountains on these islands are an extension of the Sistema Penibetico. The tallest peak on the Balearic Islands is Puig Major (1,436 m/ 4,711 ft).

Meanwhile, the Canary Islands are located 90 km (56 miles) off the west coast of Morocco in Africa. The dormant volcano of Teide lies on the islands and is considered the highest peak in non-mainland Spain.

Geology

Within Spain, there are several major mountain ranges. The Sierra Nevada range (not to be confused with the Sierra Nevada of California in the US) is home to the tallest peak in the Iberian Peninsula, Pico de Mulhacen (3,427 m/ 11,424 ft), and is located in the southern region of the country.

The Pyrenees Mountains form what is known as a natural border between Spain and France. This range spans 430 km (267 miles) from the Basque Country down to Catalonia. In the northern region of the country lie the Cantabrian Mountains.

Together these ranges, and various others in Spain, are part of the larger Alpide belt. Also known as the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, this range extends 15,000 kilometers (9,300 miles) across the southern region of Eurasia, including ranges such as the Alps and the Himalaya.

The various peaks and ranges were formed by the collision of the African, Arabian, and Indian Plates with the Eurasian Plate. The peaks in Spain were formed around 350 million years ago.

Ranges throughout Spain showcase characteristics of Paleozoic folds, while the eastern peaks are more likely to showcase Mesozoic folds.

Village Guadalest, Alicante, Spain

The ranges throughout Spain are primarily of limestone, granite, gneiss, and marl. Many of the range’s limestone composition has left behind rugged peaks and karst formations.

Spain is a very mineral and resource-rich country with large deposits of lead, mercury, uranium, tungsten, magnesite, gypsum, iron, nickel, crude oil, and natural gas. It also has some steel, coal, cold, and copper deposits. The country is also the fifth largest producer of both gypsum and fluorite.

Major peaks in Spain include Pico del Teide, Pico de Mulhacén, Pico de Aneto, Pico del Veleta, Torre Cerredo, Pico de Posets, and Torrecilla.

Ecology

As one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe, Spain is abundant with various species of flora and fauna. The country’s numerous climatic regions allow for a broad range of biodiversity to thrive.

A large majority of Spain is classified as a continental mediterranean climate. Meanwhile, a mountain climate covers the main regions of the country. The northern coast is home to both coastal oceanic climate and continental oceanic climate while the southern coast is home to both coastal mediterranean climate and semiarid steppe climate.

Asturias, near Somiedo

The forests throughout Spain are primarily home to cork oak, holm oak, wild olive and carob trees. Sandy soils, often along the coastlines allow for stone pine, Aleppo pine, Kermes oak, and juniper trees to thrive. Chestnut, lime, maple, and elm trees can also be found along the coastlines.

Including both the islands and the mainland, Spain is thought to be home to over sixty thousand different species of animals. Common terrestrial mammals found in Spain include hedgehogs, moles, European rabbit, marmot, wild boar, roe deer, Iberian ibex, and the Pyrenean chamois.

Spain is also home to a wide range of terrestrial carnivores. Often found in the many rugged mountain ranges of the country, these mammals include the brown bear, red fox, Italian wolf, Iberian wolf, European badger, Iberian lynx and the European pine marten, amongst others.

The skies of Spain are home to over 640 species of bird, including seven endemic species which reside on the offshore islands. On the mainland, griffon vultures, black and white storks, and short-toed snake eagles can be found primarily in the upload plateaus.

Waterways and wetlands in Spain are also home to a variety of freshwater fish. They are also home to the European pond turtle and the Caspian turtle, among other reptiles.

Human History

The area that is now the country of Spain has been home to humans for tens of thousands of years. Cro-Magnon populations are known to have lived in the region around 35,000 years ago. One of the most iconic signs of prehistoric human settlement in what is now Spain are the paintings in the Altamira cave, which date back to 15,000 BCE.

Nomadic shepherds, known as the Yamna people, are thought to have lived in the region around 2500 BCE. Prior to the Roman conquest, around 200 BCE, the land that is now Spain was inhabited by a number of peoples, including the Iberians, Celts, Lusitanians, and the Tartessians.

After the fall of the Roman empire in the fifth century CE, the region of Spain was ruled by the Visigoths. However in 711, Muslims from northern Africa invaded the Iberian Peninsula and their presence lasted for over seven more centuries. Christian kingdoms then began to conquer the land, pushing the Moors further south.

The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are known as the Golden Age in Spain. This time period was full of Columbus’s voyages to the Americas while arts and literature flourished back home. During this time period, Spain was also an active player in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade due to the country’s large presence in North and South America.

The first Republic of Spain was founded in 1873, but political upheaval resulted in the formation of the Second Republic in 1931. Just five years later, the Spanish Civil War began, culminating in 1939 with Francisco Franco ascension as the dictator of Spain.

After Franco’s death in 1975, Spain transitioned into a democracy. Spain’s current constitution marks it as a constitutional monarchy, home to 17 autonomous communities, including two autonomous cities.

Published

7 January 2020

Spain’s location at the crossroads of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa, has made it a key political and cultural bridge across five continents.

Through exploration and conquest, Spain became a world power in the 16th century, and maintained a vast overseas empire until the 19th century.

Its modern history was marked by the bitter civil war of 1936-39, and the ensuing decades-long dictatorship of Francisco Franco.

Since General Franco’s death in 1975, Spain has made the transition to democracy, and built a modern economy.

The country’s 17 regions have their own directly-elected authorities, but separatism remains a live issue in wealthy Catalonia in the north-east.

King Felipe is the second monarch to reign since the restoration of democracy

King Felipe succeeded to the throne on the abdication of his father Juan Carlos in June 2014.

Born in 1968 when his father was heir-apparent to the vacant throne during the Franco dictatorship, Prince Felipe was educated for his future royal role and undertook official engagements on behalf of the king from 1995.

Despite retaining considerable constitutional power as chief executive and commander-in-chief, King Felipe has pledged to continue his father’s legacy of supporting the primacy of parliament.

Prime Minister: Pedro Sánchez

Mr Sánchez has struggled with a lack of parliamentary support

Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez took over as prime minister in June 2018, after his conservative predecessor Mariano Rajoy lost a parliamentary vote of confidence.

This was triggered by a long-running corruption trial involving members of Mr Rajoy’s Popular Party.

Snap elections in April and November 2019 boosted the Socialists, but they fell short of a majority, while Vox became first far-right party to win seats since the death of Francisco Franco in 1975.

In January 2020, Mr Sánchez formed a minority coalition government with the left-wing Podemos party after winning a narrow parliamentary vote of confidence.

The Vettones occupied the territories of the current Spanish provinces of Salamanca and Avila, as well as parts of Cáceres, Toledo and Zamora. They were pre-Roman people of Celtic culture. Their numerous archaeological sites exist throughout the province, and several place names are of Wettone origin, some of which are quite important. This is the case of Salamanca ( Salmantica ), Ledesma ( Bletisama ) and Ciudad Rodrigo ( Augustobriga ). Wettone villages were often created on the banks of rivers or in the mountains. Examples include Salamanca and Ledesma built along Tormes ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] Bermellar, El Castillo (Saldeana), Moncalvo (Hinojosa de Duero), Picon de la Mora (Picones) and Castro de Yecla la Vieja ( Yecla de Yeltes) next to Huebra, Ciudad Rodrigo, Iruenha (Fuenteginaldo) and Lerilla (Zamarra) on the banks of the Agueda and Castro de las Mercanas (Loins), in the Camaces loop. The area between La Armunha and Salamanca marked the border between the Vettones and the Vaccaei, another pre-Roman people of the province. They were located in the northeastern part of the province.

Geography

The province of Salamanca is located in the west of Spain, in the western part of Castile and León. It has an average elevation of 823 meters, but there is great variation throughout the province, with 2,428 meters (7,966 ft) being the highest point at the peak. Seya Kanchal in the Sierra de Bejar classify, ^[7] and 116 meters (381 ft) is the lowest point in the Salto de Sacelle valley. Also of note is the Sierra de Francia mountain range. The hydrographic network of Salamanca is mainly formed by the Duero Basin. The most important rivers are the Duero, Tormes, Agueda, Huebra, and Yeltes rivers. ^[8]

The region is well irrigated with a number of dams and reservoirs, and with a volume of over 3400 million cubic meters, it is the province with the third largest reservoir in Spain, behind only the Province of Badajoz and the Province of Cáceres. Of particular note is the Almendra Dam, five kilometers from the village of Almendra. Built between 1964 and 1970, the dam is part of a hydroelectric system known as drops Duero , along with Castro, Ricobayo, Soselle and Villalcampo. It is one of the largest reservoirs in Spain with 86.5 square kilometers (33.4 sq mi) and 2.5 billion cubic meters of water. ^[9] ^[10] The dam itself is over half a kilometer wide and at 202 meters (663 feet) is one of Spain’s tallest structures.

Attractions

There are Roman Catholic cathedrals in Salamanca and Ciudad Rodrigo. The Old Cathedral of Salamanca was founded by Bishop Hieronymus Perigord, built in the 12th century and completed in the Romanesque/Gothic style in the 14th century. It is dedicated to Santa Maria de la Sede (Saint Mary of the See). The New Cathedral of Salamanca was built between the 16th and 18th centuries in late Gothic and Baroque styles. Construction began in 1513 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1733. Ferdinand V of Castile of Spain. It was declared a national monument by royal decree in 1887. 9 Garcia Vincente, José (2002). “Cathedral Nueva” (in Spanish). Archived from the original on 2008-08-21. Retrieved 2014-09-18.

everything points to sabotage – DW – 09/29/2022

“Gas spot” at the site of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline breakthrough off the coast of Denmark, September 27, 2022 Photo: Danish Defense Command via REUTERS

ConflictsEurope

Vitaly Kropman

4h. four threads of both Nord Streams was a sabotage. But who can be behind her?

https://www.dw.com/ru/avaria-na-severnyh-potokah-vse-ukazyvaet-na-diversiu/a-63269235

Advertising from the damaged Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reported on Thursday 29September. “Two of the four leaks are in Sweden’s exclusive economic zone,” a coast guard spokesman told the newspaper. Two more breakthrough sites are located in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark.

The new location of the leak, which was discovered at Nord Stream 2, was not known from the very beginning. “The cloud of gas bubbles was not visible on radar because it is smaller than other leaks. The Coast Guard saw it when they were surveying the area by ship and aircraft,” a spokeswoman for the Swedish Maritime Administration said. Thus, it seems that all four lines of both pipelines built to export gas from Russia to Germany are out of order.

In the European Union and the Russian Federation, they tend to believe that what happened is an act of sabotage. To whom is it beneficial and who could commit it?

What we already know

“Climate policy catastrophe” was called the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline breakthrough by an energy security expert from the University of Bonn, Dr. Frank Umbach. While gas continues to flow from damaged pipes under the Baltic Sea, the Danish Maritime Authority has established a 5 nautical mile exclusion zone (more than 9km. – Ed. ) for ships and 1 km for aircraft.

According to the director of the Danish Energy Agency, Christoffer Bötzau, three leaks were first discovered – one 24 km southeast of the island of Bornholm and two northeast of it. Bubbling spots of gas are observed on the surface of the water: according to the Danish Ministry of Defense, the area of the largest is 1 square kilometer, the smallest is 200 square meters.

Recall that on Monday, September 26, a sudden sharp drop in gas pressure was recorded on three of the four lines of both Nord Streams. This could be indicative of leaks caused by burst pipelines.

On September 27, it became known that seismological stations in Sweden and Denmark recorded underwater explosions in the area where the leaks occurred. The first was recorded on the night of September 26, the second – in the evening of the same day. One of them had a magnitude of 2.3, like a perceptible earthquake. “You can clearly see how the waves bounce from the bottom to the surface. There is no doubt that these were explosions,” Professor Bjorn Lund from the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) told reporters.

In turn, Nord Stream stated that the accident occurred on all three lines at the same time.

Accident or act of sabotage?

World history still does not know cases of explosions on underwater gas pipelines that occurred for technological reasons. And, according to the design requirements, the pipes laid on the bottom of the Baltic Sea and their joints must withstand a direct blow, for example, from the ship’s anchor and not be torn in the event of hooking and dragging.

Frank Umbach is convinced that the only possible explanation for the accident is an act of sabotage. “The fact that the leaks occurred almost simultaneously in places located at a distance of up to 50 km from each other makes it impossible for a technical accident. This clearly indicates that this was indeed an act of sabotage,” – said the expert in the Heute Journal program on the air of the German TV channel ZDF.

A similar position is shared by the Danish and Swedish authorities. “Based on Swedish and Danish information, we have come to the conclusion that this was probably a deliberate act. So, most likely, we are talking about sabotage,” Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said at a special press conference on the evening of 27 September. “The clear opinion of the authorities is that it was not an accident,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen agreed with her.

Reaction in Germany, Russia and EU

The German authorities have not yet officially commented on the situation. “We do not participate in speculation,” a spokesman for the federal economics ministry explained. At the same time, the Tagesspiegel publication cites the words of a person familiar with the position of Berlin. “Our imagination no longer allows for a scenario in which this would not be a targeted attack,” he said. Moreover, according to Der Spiegel, the US CIA warned its German colleagues a few weeks ago about possible attacks on gas pipelines.

They do not completely reject the possibility of sabotage on gas pipelines and in the Kremlin. “Now it is impossible to exclude a single option. It is obvious that there is some kind of destruction of the pipe. And what was the reason – here, before the results of the study appear, it is impossible to exclude at least some option,” Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry told reporters Peskov.

Confidence that what happened was an act of sabotage was also expressed in the European Union. “All available information indicates that these leaks are the result of deliberate actions,” said EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell. Any deliberate attack on Europe’s energy infrastructure will be “met with a strong and cooperative response,” he added.

Look for who benefits

The Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen at her press conference refused to name the possible perpetrators of the incident. However, it is clear that this kind of sabotage can hardly be a private initiative: it requires, at a minimum, the use of a submarine or a team of experienced divers, as well as a large amount of explosives.

As noted in the publication of the RIA Novosti agency, based on the recorded magnitude of the underwater shock of 2.3, it can be assumed that charges of at least 100 kg of TNT were used to blow up the gas pipeline.

But who can be behind the sabotage?* MEP from Poland, former Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs of the country Radosław Sikorski thanked the United States for the destruction of the pipelines. On his Twitter account, Sikorsky posted a photo of a gas slick on the surface of the sea on September 27, writing: “Thank you, USA. ” Sikorsky’s tweet was reposted over 25,000 times.

Radosław Sikorski Photo: PAP/picture alliance

Five hours later, as the post’s controversy was already heating up, Sikorski wrote another tweet. “Ukraine and all the Baltic states have opposed the construction of the Nord Stream for 20 years. Now $20 billion of scrap metal lies at the bottom of the sea – another payment for Russia for its criminal decision to invade Ukraine,” the politician said. And he ended the post with this phrase: “Someone, @MFA_Russia (Russian Foreign Ministry. – Rev. ), conducted a special maintenance operation.” And on the afternoon of September 29, the first scandalous tweet was deleted from Sikorsky’s account.

The Polish government actually directly accused Moscow of provocation. “Unfortunately, our eastern neighbor is constantly pursuing an aggressive policy,” said the Deputy Minister Foreign Affairs of Poland Marcin Przydacz. “If he is capable of an aggressive military policy in Ukraine, then it is obvious that no provocations can be ruled out, even in those areas that are in Western Europe. ”

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spoke somewhat more covertly. “We do not know all the details of what happened, but we clearly see that this is an act of sabotage associated with the next step in the escalation of the situation in Ukraine,” he said at the opening ceremony of the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline, through which gas from Norway through Denmark will be supplied to Poland. Frank Umbach shares this version, noting that the Baltic Pipe will allow Poland to finally become independent from the Russian Federation and in this respect is of great importance both for Poland and for the EU: “And it is like a thorn in the eye of Russia”

The destruction of gas pipelines, first of all, harms Russia

Another German expert, a former high-ranking military officer of the Bundeswehr and NATO, retired colonel Ralph Thiele, disagrees with the accusations against Russia. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk, he pointed out that Russia is mentioned in the context that “there are indeed Russian special forces within reach” who are ready for such actions. “But I can also say that there are German special forces who are ready for this. And this also applies to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, America, of course, and the British. So there are many people who can do it,” – stressed the retired colonel.

to play on the fear of Europeans before a cold winter, again and again offered to buy their own gas, and in Germany there are politicians who are ready to do it again. But with “the blowing up of both pipelines, this game is finally over.” At the same time, Thiele continues, what happened could be a typical example of a so-called “false flag” operation. The retired colonel warned that further attacks on Norwegian, Polish, British pipelines and floating platforms could follow, and gas supplies to Europe would suddenly be in doubt during the winter.

“Russia (in a similar scenario – Ed.) might object that it couldn’t be us because our pipelines were damaged first. And you see that yours are also under attack, we are in the same boat. That would be a classic case of a covert operation,” Thiele added. According to him, if in the foreseeable future something happens to other critical gas infrastructure facilities, then he would believe that Russia is behind the sabotage at Nord Stream. “But if everything is limited to Nord Stream, then I would think in the direction of Ukraine or those who sympathize with it,” Ralph Thiele specified.0013

Biden’s promise and American LNG

Russia has predictably called the USA the beneficiaries of what happened. First, recalling that on February 7, US President Joe Biden, at a press conference following a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, said: “In the event of a Russian invasion, if its tanks cross the border of Ukraine again, then ” Nord Stream – 2 “will cease to exist.

And secondly, because the failure of the Nord Stream makes Europe even more dependent on US LNG supplies. Not without accusations against Ukraine, since the pipeline running through its territory remains at the moment essentially the only means of delivering Russian gas to Western Europe.

And one more detail. Against the backdrop of reports of an accident at Nord Stream, gas prices began to rise again. However, according to Umbach, this trend has a short-term perspective.

4 How to get to?

Plaza de España in Rome is located in the central part of the Italian capital. The architectural ensemble was formed in the 17th century and has a complex geometric shape. The attraction is named after the building of the Spanish representation. The northern part of the complex is occupied by the original fountain, the Spanish Steps and the church. The southern block houses the Palace of Spain and sculptural compositions. Streets with shops of popular clothing brands originate from the square.

History of creation

The architectural landmark is located in the center of the Italian capital in the area of Campo Marzio. According to historical tradition, the area was allocated for the accommodation of foreign immigrants and guests of the capital. On the hill from which the square originates, immigrants from France settled. In the first half of the 16th century, the Cathedral of Trenita dei Monti was erected on the territory. Church ceremonies in the temple are carried out in French.

Later, the territory of the square was occupied by English settlers. The historical tradition is associated with the presence of many hotels and hotel complexes in the location, which attracted citizens of foreign countries.

Spanish settlers began to occupy the territory at the beginning of the 17th century. By this period, the state of Spain bought a castle with rich decoration (Monaldeschi) for representation. Over time, for the Romans and guests of the city, the name of the Spanish Square was assigned to the place.

Evidence of belonging to immigrants from Spain and a staircase with baroque elements. The structure has 138 steps and leads from the square to the temple of Trinita dei Monti. The area is located at the base of the stairs, the slabs have different configurations, lined with travertine.

According to historical tradition, events are held on the site, fashion shows are organized, feature films are shot. In spring, flower exhibitions are held on the stairs, presenting varieties of azaleas, roses, tulips, etc. In the New Year’s Eve weeks, colorful Christmas performances are organized in the architectural ensemble.

Attractions

The architectural composition of the square has an unusual configuration, because unites 2 spaces (trapezoidal and unequal triangle). The design of the elements is predominantly baroque. The main historical complexes are represented by the Barcaccia fountain, a long staircase and the temple of Trinita dei Monti.

The square is surrounded by exquisite houses with original architectural solutions, preserved from the 18th century. Next to the fountain structure is the Palace of Di Propaganda Fide, which is owned by the Roman church. In front of the entrance to the castle there is an 11 m high column with an elegant figure of the Virgin Mary on a pedestal and a sculptural composition of biblical saints at the base.

Spanish Steps

The Spanish Steps in Rome are among the symbols of the Italian capital. The baroque landmark consists of more than 130 steps leading from the central part of the square to the picturesque hill and Pincio gardens. The complex offers panoramic views of Rome. The steps of the attraction have a concave configuration.

The construction project was proposed for the arrangement of the passage to the temple, which was under the auspices of the kings of France. The construction was carried out with funds left by the French citizen E. Geffier, who had been a diplomat for many years.

The competition for the implementation of the project was organized in 1717, by the decision of the commission, the construction of the object was entrusted to the well-known sculptors A. Specchi and F. de Sanctis. Construction began in 1723 and ended in 1726. The composition became a symbol of the political reconciliation of the French and Spanish states.

The steps are decorated with emblems of the Bourbon family (lilies) and signs of papal authority (tiara, eagle). The raw material for the steps is stone (travertine). The width of the slabs varies along the stairs from narrow to wide, and the dimensions of the spans also vary. Work on the restoration of the historical landmark was carried out at the end of the 20th century (1997).

Barcaccia Fountain

The Barcaccia Fountain is located at the base of the Spanish Steps. The architectural project was implemented by P. Bernini in the first half of the 17th century at the request of the Roman authorities. The landmark in the Baroque style direction is made in the form of a half-submerged ship. The original design decision bears the name Barcaccia (translated from Italian as “boat launch”), which was assigned to the project as evidence of what happened at the end of the 16th century (1598 year) floods. Water enters the structure from the Aqua Virgo canal.

The architectural solution provided for the solution of the technical difficulties of supplying water to the hill section. Berini solved the problem by creating a semi-submerged container into which he inscribed the sunken ship. The bottom of the fountain is deepened, the stern and bow have the same dimensions and proportions, because raised above the side edges. In the central part of the composition, the balustrade supports an oblong bath, from which jets of water flow and enter the lower part of the composition.

Water streams also follow from 6 other openings directed to a tank in the center of the vessel. The composition is decorated with emblems of the Roman church (tiara, bees) on the outer sides of the ship.

The composition of the fountain is notable for the author’s implementation as a sculptural work and differs from classical water structures of geometric configurations.

Church of Trinita dei Monti

The temple of Trinita dei Monti was built on a hill, which completes the Spanish Steps. In front of the church there is an obelisk of Sallust 14 m high. On the left side of the church stretches the alley of the same name, famous for the castle of the Medici family located on the territory. The building was built in the 16th century, a few decades later it passed into the hands of the French state and transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts.

Rome Fashion Center

What was the highlight of Hotel THe Valle Taurito & Aquapark

Hotel Valle de Taurito

Lovely hotel with nice pool area & access to waterpark (sea water) just across the road. Good choice of food that changes daily. Good size rooms with daily cleaning. Beautiful beach a few minutes walk away. Peaceful resort.

The road to Mogan has closed, so taxis to take you out of Taurito are quite pricey – €30 one way to Playa del Ingles. This is a quiet family resort so not a good option if you want late night bars, etc.

What was the highlight of Hotel THe Valle Taurito & Aquapark

Good for a short stay

The food was ok but very much tailored to the majority of British guests. The rooms are spacious and suitable for a family of 4. The staff was very friendly. The animation at night was quite good.

The rooms are dated and the sofa was creaking horribly. Although advocated as family friendly a common playground for the kids is missing apart from the play den for money. Pool chairs are reserved early in the morning and sometimes stay empty for hours which is a real nuisance.

VALLE TAURITO Hotel

Location and facilities were amazing. Access to the beach and aqua park was great too as we had 2 children under 4 with us and therefore we had everything at our doorstep, no need for long walks or taxi rides . The heated swimming pool outside the hotel was great, too.

The food as part of all inclusive deal was poor, no variation really, the dessert options the same day in and day out. Dinner options not exciting, meat overheated, chewy or tough. Would have expected more

Maspalomas Aqualand

a popular destination for families with children in Gran Canaria! Many tourists are amazed by the size of this water park, and some of the slides can scare even the most daring visitors. Maspalomas water park is a must visit in Gran Canaria!

The attractions in Maspalomas Water Park are divided into 4 categories, each of which is designed for certain age groups and preferences.

Adrenalin Fun

This category of entertainment belongs to the most extreme. Here you will find large slides with steep and winding slopes, which are popular with adult tourists and young people. They are not suitable for small children.

Water Labyrinth and Racer Twin Turbolance

The first slide is a water labyrinth. It is made in bright orange colors, it is impossible not to notice it at once, because it is huge and designed for 8 people at the same time. Another slide in blue and greenish tones was made for those who love speed and sharp turns.

Speed Boats and Aquamania

Speedboat Slides can be ridden in pairs on special thick circles. Most often, such a hill is filled with young people. Aquamania is three small slides, but very steep. The slides are located on a large tower, so it seems as if you are flying down.

Crazy Race

Not a very scary but big slide called “crazy race”. It consists of nine tracks, you can compete who will come down the fastest.

Mamut and Rapids

Mamut and Rapid are two winding slides that are ridden on an inflatable ring.

Adrenalina and Kamikaze

Adrenaline is a very fast slide, one of the most popular among young people. “Kamikaze” is another slide, it is very long, which allows you to develop high speed.

Tornado

Every good water park should have a Tornado slide! This slide first circles a person along a funnel, and then takes it further at great speed through a pipe.

Boomerang and The Spiral

“Boomerang” is a very thick and steep slide that takes a person on a circle from one side to the other. “Spiral” is a curved closed slide that will give you a lot of bright emotions.

Kidsworld

This category of water activities is dedicated to children. Here you can find small slides, a real children’s town with pools, palm trees and attractions. This is a real paradise for the youngest guests of the water park.

Childrens Paradise and Polynesia

Children’s town is presented in two pools. The first large pool includes several small indoor slides, a playground and climbing frames. And the country “Polynesia” is in the second basin. There are swings, palm trees, and climbing frames. These two pools are separated by a small bridge. During your vacation, you can leave your child in the children’s town. It will be looked after by the staff of the water park.

Family Fun and Chill Out

The third and fourth parts of the water park are designed for joint recreation of children and their parents.

Discovery Beach and Jacuzzi

Entertainment for children and their parents is, first of all, a huge wave pool and jacuzzi. Fur seals live in another pool, which you can not only watch, but also swim with them.

Pirate’s River

Entertainment for young people, adults and children is presented in the attraction called “Pirate’s River”. This attraction will help you plunge into a relaxing atmosphere. You will swim along the river on a circle, enjoying the views of an artificial waterfall, palm trees and beautiful architectural buildings.

Where to eat?

After a long day of play, you need a snack. There are several cafes, restaurants and even hotels not far from the Maspalomas water park. Just 3 kilometers from the water park are quite well-known restaurants in Maspalomas: Silos, Romeo, The British Buldog, Pastagramma.

How to get to the water park Maspalomas Gran Canaria?

You can drive to the water park on your own using the GC-503 road. There are also buses on lines 45 and 70.

Maspalomas Water Park is open from September to July from 10:00 to 17:00 daily, and from late July to early September from 10:00 to 18:00. It is worth noting that the attractions close 30 minutes before the end of the working day.

Are Tenerife Property Prices, in 2021 / 2022, going down at the moment? –

Are property prices in Tenerife going down in 2021 / 2022? How has the market been affected by Coronavirus? How has Brexit affected prices in Tenerife? (Updated July 1st 2022)

Here are my thoughts on what is happening with the property market and prices here, taking into account Coronavirus and the pandemic, travel restrictions and Brexit and the 90 day rule for British buyers:
2020 sales – Lockdowns, travel restrictions, doom and gloom in general, however…:

The pandemic, lockdowns and severe travel restrictions started in March 2020. For three months the market was pretty much frozen. And yet, we did pretty much the same number of sales in 2020 as we did in 2019 – quite remarkable really, given all of the travel disruptions. I think without the Coronavirus issues, we would have easily had a record year. Property enquiries were up 24% in 2020, year on year.

2021 sales – two steps forward, one step back in terms of travel etc, but overall, a record year for us with sales:

In 2021 our sales volume increased dramatically. The busiest months of the year are always from January to April and whilst there was a lot of travel disruption in 2021, our sales volume was again very high over those first 4 months, and continuing into May. I averaged 4 sales a month for the first 3 months closed another 3 sales in April and 3 more in May. The Summer slowdown did arrive, as expected but there was definitely more activity that Summer than we usually see, probably because people who have been waiting to come over were finally able to do so. By the end of the year, with an extremely strong 4th quarter, we totalled close to 40 sales totalling over 10 million Euros. Contrary to what many had been predicting, 2021 was easily the best year for sales I have ever had in terms of transactions and overall volume in Euros.

2022:
January – sale, sale, sale, sale, sale, sale…. You get the picture!
Demand has not fallen, if anything it has continued to increase. By March, agents were selling out of apartments and as I write this at the beginning of July, we have sold more in this first 6 months than our entire sales volume for 2021 – and 2021 was our best year up until that point! It has been extremely busy across the South of the island and at every level from studio apartments to villas.

The biggest issue in the marketplace now is a lack of properties. Enquiry levels have been very high although they are now slowing as we move into Summer but sales are still ongoing. Travel restrictions are pretty much over so remote video sales are not like they were last year as most people prefer to travel and physically see properties before buying.

Who has been buying?

I work in all markets across Europe. I sell to lots of Brits and lots of non-Brits. From the huge number of sales we have had in 2021 and so far in 2022, the nationalities (of which there were 15) were very mixed. 43% of our sales were to British, 12% to Spanish, 7% to each of Belgian, German and Irish and 24% were across the rest which were Czech, Italian, Ukrainian, Dutch, Russian, Lithuanian, Swedish, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian

So the British market is still our largest but has fallen as an overall percentage of our sales:

38% of our sales in 2021 were at full asking price. That isn´t normal but they were all well priced, good properties in popular areas. So far in 2022, we have sold at full asking price in 22% of all sales.

Somewhat more surprising was that in 2021, is that 34% of our sales were without a physical viewing – these were based on remote viewings, photos and video tours – which says a lot about demand that year. Many buyers were not waiting for travel restrictions to ease and were making offers before they had even seen the property.

What kind of offers are people making and accepting for property in Tenerife?

In 2021, the average asking price was 268,000€ and the average accepted offer was 262,000€. This is an average accepted offer of 97% of asking price over all of our sales.

In 2022 so far, the average asking price has been more or less 276,500€ and the average accepted offer was 268,000€. This gives an identical figure of 97% of asking price being accepted on average.

It is more important than ever to be targeting buyers from the rest of Europe, as well as the UK. Countries like Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Poland are very active, as are the Baltic states. I massively increased our marketing budget in 2020 as the Covid restrictions kicked in and that paid off for me and for my clients who wanted to sell. Especially when many agencies pulled back and reduced their marketing spend (some to zero. )

Brexit effect, how has Brexit affected property prices in Tenerife?:

The 90/180 rule does not appear to be affecting demand – owners can still spend up to 6 months a year here. Looking at buyers from the UK, most of them tend to be of working age and generally looking to spend 2 or 3 weeks at a time here so aren´t really affected.

This is the same for all of the other buyers we have from outside the EU, from Russia and the US for example. Plenty of Brits have bought in Florida and manage perfectly well there without unlimited access.

One effect Brexit will have is that Brits now have to choose when to take their holidays here as many were used to arriving in October / November and staying right the way through until Easter. This is no longer possible and many will now forgo October / November and December and opt to arrive in January for 3 months which may result in a quieter 4th quarter for 1 bed sales in resorts but a much busier first quarter as this Winter crowd do account for a large volume of sales around the 170,000€ to 250,000€ price range for 1 bed apartments and make up a large proportion of our sellers which I will cover in more detail in the next section.

Brexit may also increase the volume of sales in excess of 500,000€ as many buyers who have the funds, will purchase and apply for Golden Visas – giving them more access year round to the Schengen Zone. We have already had sales this year driven very much by this 500,000€ threshold.

Sellers expectations on prices:

So far as sellers, since 2008 ish, 95% of my sales have been to cash buyers so most sellers I deal with now, don´t have mortgages – many have been paid off and those buying since 2008 didn´t take one.

This is very different to how it was pre-financial crisis when most bought with Spanish mortgages at high LTV (80% – 100% of price.)

A lot of the sellers I deal with are well into their 70´s. They are retired, own outright, have pension income and are under little to no pressure to sell other than they think it’s about the right time for them. So expecting them to suddenly drop their prices by 20% or more is not realistic. And we won’t insult owners whose properties are correctly and realistically priced by putting such offers to them – it just annoys people and does us no favours.

There may be people of working age who need to sell (cash flow issues with business back home etc) but I haven´t seen and am not seeing much of this at all.

One effect that has been noticeable is a lack of what we typically sell – for example, 1 bedroom apartments in Los Cristianos in the 170,000€ to 200,000€ are in short supply. A typical owner of this type of apartment would normally arrive around November for the Winter months and list their property for sale. But Winter 2020, almost none of them made the journey. And there was a noticeable absences during Winter 2021 so many may wait until next Winter (2022) before putting their properties on the market.

Are prices falling in Tenerife?

Well, they haven’t been increasing but the market is very buoyant and the lack of properties for sale combined with enormous demand from buyers may push prices up this year – as might inflation across Europe.

Prices rose a lot between 2012 and 2019 and in these scenarios, asking prices and sellers expectations can get too far apart causing a slow down. I blame agents partly for this as they shouldn´t list properties they know are way overpriced – I don´t, why would I? I am only making money if I can sell the thing so I just don´t see the point in putting all that effort into marketing a property that is way overpriced and unlikely to sell.

We are seeing less of that now though, which is good. And most of what is coming on the market is priced more realistically.

Will we see huge price drops on properties in Tenerife?

I really don´t think so. I just don´t see much of anything driving prices down. Hopefully, we´ll see a lot less of the daft pricing though. Because a lot of sellers look online at properties like theirs, see two or three ridiculous prices and convince themselves that must be what theirs is worth – they can then often waste a year or longer trying to achieve it, which is no use to anyone. Given the demand at the moment, anything priced sensibly will attract interest and very likely sell, so the impetus to drop prices further is simply not there. We are now over 2 years into Covid, lockdowns, travel restrictions etc and prices have not fallen, demand is higher than ever and sales are booming! It really does look like those sitting on the side-lines waiting for a huge crash have been left behind.

Advice for buyers:

If you want to buy a well-priced property, find one that is for sale at a good price and make a sensible offer on it. Or use an agent to find one for you – we have huge networks of agents that we send requests out to when someone is looking for something specific, that’s pretty much the quickest way of finding something.

I had some buyers recently who we narrowed down to 2 or 3 complexes, they knew that was where they would buy and I ended up showing them every single property for sale on there. After all of those viewings, they knew those complexes inside out, understand prices, what things were going for, what they should be paying etc.

We found the best one on there (by far…) and they bought it. The owner had priced it really well and it was immaculate. He didn´t want to negotiate at all and had turned down several offers already. The buyers paid the full asking price – it was worth every Euro and they are very happy with their purchase. Had they messed around trying to get 4% or 5% off “just because”, they could have lost it and spent the next 12 months trying to find something as nice and as well priced, which might never have happened.

Whilst I wouldn’t usually advise people to just offer the full price, in the right circumstances, it can be justified and in this case, it definitely was.

Another just this week – perfect villa for the owners, well priced, exactly what they were looking for in the half-million Euro range – owners offered 10,000€ off the price and met the owner in the middle of that offer and asking price. Very smart – why lose the ideal property for the sake of 5 or 10 grand?

Low ball offers:

We have all heard stories of how a friend’s brother´s mate got such and such for a bargain price after putting in a “cheeky offer” – blah, blah, blah…

As such, there are many would-be buyers who believe they must start really low – insultingly low “just in case…” I receive offers like this via email on a regular basis and in most cases I either just delete them or send them a link to this information about prices. There is simply no justification or reason to email a daft offer to me on a property that they haven’t even visited – and I won´t take it seriously, or bother the owner with it.

Keep in mind, if you see a property that looks a decent price at say 250,000€ – don´t waste yours and the seller’s time offering 190,000€. If they were going to be happy with 190,000€ and they were “desperate to sell” for some reason, it is very unlikely it would be listed at 250,000€…! It can really annoy the owner and if you are genuinely interested, its a really bad way to open negotiations.

If you still want that 250,000€ property for 190,000€ – the only way you may possibly get it is by waiting several years for prices to fall that low (which is very unlikely) or be in the right place at the right time when there is a desperate seller looking for a quick sale – but most of the time these will be snapped up by people who live here / are involved in property or who have very good relationships with the agents here who get them – it doesn’t happen often.

Take-away from all of this:

I wrote this paragraph almost two years ago after flights had restarted and sales really ramped up again and it has turned out to be very accurate:

If you have a good budget and know what you want and it comes up for sale – buy it. Because if you don´t, someone else will, especially if it is in a popular area and well priced.

That’s how I see the market, that’s what I have seen last year and so far, this year.

If you are selling a property in Tenerife and want clear advice on the best strategy, drop me an email or fill in the form below. What I am doing right now is very effective, it works and it is getting excellent results. I have a very different approach to most other agencies here – not going to go into details on how we have become so effective at selling as obviously, other agents read this website but if you would like a chat about how I can help you market and sell your property in Tenerife, contact me now and I will show you what we do.

Long Term Rentals & Lets Spain (2022): Find Your DREAM Rental

Renting a house, villa or apartment on a long let or long term rental is a great decision if you are moving to Spain. So many people take a quick trip to Spain in order to buy a house and it is only later that they find out many truths about the area and location which causes them to regret making such a hasty decision.

Buying property in Spain is such a huge commitment that renting first on a long term let or long term rental to try before you buy is so obvious, yet not enough people do it.

When buying in Spain you have to pay 10% of the purchase price to the government so that is a lot of money down the drain if you want to move later on.

A long term let or long term rental in Spain enables you to really feel what an area is like in different seasons.

The Costa Blanca is a good choice because some areas in Spain are too hot in summer (Costa del Sol in the south and Costa de Almeria) and some areas are much wetter than people think (Barcelona area, Costa Brava and Costa Dorada) and some areas are much colder in winter than people realise.

A long term let or long term rental can even help you decide whether a move to Spain is really for you, especially if you are thinking of retiring to Spain. One of the most important factors in moving to Spain is working and making a living and many people struggle and have to go back to their home country to make ends meet. You may find it hard to sell your house or apartment and may sell at a loss because you are desperate to move.

Renting a property on a long term let basis in Spain enables you to really get to know an area by talking to locals. In my area of Javea on the Costa Blanca I have found that some areas I thought were good are in fact crime hot spots and subject to ‘land grab’.

Other areas don’t get the sun until midday and it’s these little details that are crucial.

Schools are another good example that are very hard to research thoroughly until you are actually here.

Now you are hopefully convinced, let’s talk about the details of long term lets and long term rentals of houses, villas, apartments and townhouses in Spain.

Long term lets or long term rental contracts in Spain are often referred to as Vivienda contracts.

These should be much cheaper than short term lets because they are typically for a period of 11 months.

You won’t be able to move out within incurring a penalty. After the first year you will usually be able to get out with only a months notice.

Long term rentals in Spain usually involve putting down a deposit of a month or two in the case of furnished properties.

Finding houses to rent in Spain long term is not easy because in many areas people can charge such massive prices for summer holiday rentals so they don’t want a long term rental tenant in during these periods.

Table of Contents

Where To Find Long-Term Lets

If you are searching for the best places to find cheap long term rentals in Spain or long lets in Spain is through the local estate agents. You won’t generally find them advertised much, so phone or go inside and ask. This is because estate agents make so much money through selling property instead. Most long term rental properties will be apartments not villas (houses).

The most popular places in Spain for long term rentals are the big cities in Spain such as Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia as well as the tourist resorts of the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca.

Where Is the Cheapest Place for Long Term Rental in Spain?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions concerning long-term lets and rents.

This question is properly best answered by reversing the question – by asking where the most expensive places in Spain are for long-term lets and rentals.

You definitely want to avoid areas that are very popular for tourism, so this pretty much eliminates the entire Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and to a lesser degree, the Costa Brava.

We can also safely include any major cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia as being expensive.

The problem with finding the cheapest places for long-term rentals, is that they tend to be very remote and lacking in facilities and amenities. Naturally going inland, prices for long-term lets become considerably cheaper, but would you rather want to live there?!

A good compromise would be areas that are not as popular with tourists from other countries and which retain a degree of traditional Spain. For example northern Spain such as Galicia. This region is extremely pretty, has some beautiful beaches and towns as well as the Costa de la Luz which is also much less undiscovered and where long-term rentals are generally cheap.

Long Term Rentals on the Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca region of Spain is situated on the east coast and is primarily a tourist and holiday destination due to the many wonderful sandy beaches in towns such as Alicante and Benidorm.

We can highly recommend this area if you are considering moving here. It is not so developed as the Costa del Sol and the beaches are much nicer.

This is a lovely area of Spain in which to live and work. There are lots of villas and apartments in the Costa Blanca available on long term rentals or long term lets.

For long term winter rentals the Costa Blanca is quite a poor choice with a relatively mild climate, however certainly not as warm as the Costa del Sol or the Spanish islands, especially the Canary Islands.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities in the Costa Blanca in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Albir, Alcossebre, Alcoy, Alfaz del Pi, Algorfa/La Finca, Alicante, Almoradi, Altea, Beniarbeig, Benidoleig, Benidorm, Benijófar, Benimar, Benissa, Benitachell, Bolulla, Busot, Cabo Roig, Calpe, Campoamor, Castalla, Catral, Caudete, Ciudad Quesada, Cumbre Del Sol, Denia, Dolores, El Campello, Elche/Elx, Els Poblets, Gandia, Gata de Gorgos, Gran Alacant, Guardamar, Hondon de la Nieves, Hondón Valley, Jalón Valley, Javea, La Drova/Barx, La Empedrola, La Fustera, La Marina, La Mata, La Nucia, La Zenia, Las Ramblas, Los Altos, Los Montesinos, Mar Menor, Mazarrón, Mil Palmeras, Monovar, Monserrat, Moraira, Oliva, Orba, Orcheta, Orihuela, Pedreguer, Pego, Pilar de la Horadada, Pinar de Campoverde, Pinoso, Playa Flamenca, Polop, Punta Prima, Rafol de Almunia, Relleu, Rojales, San Miguel de Salinas, Sanet Y Negrals, Santa Pola, Santiago de la Ribera, Sax, Teulada, Tibi, Torrevieja, Totana, Vall de Laguar, Villajoyosa, Villamartin, Villena, Villotel.

Long-Term Rentals and Lets on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol is located on the south coast of Spain and is the most popular area of Spain for tourism as well as the most popular area for expats to live. This makes it a good area if you are looking for jobs. We personally prefer the Costa Blanca region of Spain but the Costa del Sol does have the best climate and opportunities.

There are lots of villas and apartments in the Costa del Sol available on long term rentals or long term lets. If you are looking for long term rentals in winter then the Costa del Sol is probably the best choice apart from the Spanish islands which are even warmer due to their close proximity to Africa.

Costa Brava

The Costa Brava region of Spain is situated in North East Spain and this area borders France. Not the best area to look for jobs because although there are some popular tourist resorts, there are much fewer expatriates living in these areas so the opportunities are much less than the more popular Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol areas.

There are however plenty of villas and apartments in the Costa Brava available on long term rentals or long term lets. If you are looking at long term rentals over the winter period then it would be much better looking at the Costa del Sol because the Costa Brava does get very cold and wet in winter.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities on the Costa Brava in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Lloret de Mar, Malgrat, Cap Salou, Tossa de Mar, Blanes, Girona, Cambrils, La Pineda, Portaventura, Salou and Sitges.

Tenerife Long Term Lets

Tenerife is largest of the Canary Islands and very much an all year round tourist destination so it is a good location if you need to find work and also a great location in terms of weather, even in winter, due to its close proximity to Africa.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities on Tenerife in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Santa Cruz de Tenerife the capital, Amarilla Golf, Costa Adeje, El Medano, Garachico, Guia De Isora, Los Cristianos, Los Gigantes, Playa De La Arena, Playa De Las Americas, Playa Paraiso, Puerto De La Cruz, Puerto De Santiago and San Miguel De Abona.

Ibiza Long Term Rentals

Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands. Ibiza is one of the most popular places in Spain for jobs because of the huge popularity of the island for dance music and clubbing in the famous nightclubs such as Space, Eden and Pacha.

Ibiza is a great island with which to look for long term rentals although do note that if you are looking for long term rentals for the winter, you would be better off looking at the Spanish islands further south such as the Canary Islands. This is because the weather and climate is much better.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities on Ibiza in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Cala Llonga, Es Cana, Figueretas, Formentera, Ibiza Town, Playa D’en Bossa, Portinatx, Puerto San Miguel, S’argamassa, Sa Caleta, Ibiza, San Antonio, San Antonio Bay, San Jose, Santa Eulalia and Talamanca.

Mallorca/Majorca Rentals (Long-Term)

Mallorca (also known as Majorca) is largest of the Balearic Islands and hugely popular as a holiday island so there are plenty of long term rentals and long term lets at all times of the year. If you’re looking for winter sun then you may be better off considering the other Spanish islands such as Tenerife and Lanzarote which have a much better climate.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities on Mallorca/Majorca in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Alaro, Alcudia, Ca’n Picafort, Caimari, Cala Bona, Cala D’or, Cala Millor, Cala San Vicente, Calas De Mallorca, Camp De Mar, Costa De Los Pinos, Deya, Illetas, jobs in Magaluf, Paguera, jobs in Palma, Palma Nova, Playa De Muro, Pollensa, Puerto De Soller, Puerto Pollensa, Pula Golf, Son Severa, Randa, Sa Coma, Sa Pobla, Santa Margalida, Santa Ponsa and Santanyi.

Long Term Rentals in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the easternmost and the fourth largest of the Canary Islands. It is situated in the Atlantic Ocean about 80 miles (125km) off the coast of Africa so it would make an ideal choice if you’re looking for long term rentals in winter.

Below is a list of potential towns and cities on Lanzarote in which you could search for long term rentals or long term lets: Arrecife the capital, Costa Teguise, Matagorda, Playa Blanca, Playa De Los Pocillos, Puerto Calero and Puerto Del Carmen.

Gran Canaria – Long Term Lets & Rentals

The Spanish Canary Island (often referred to as the Canaries) of Gran Canaria has a number of popular holiday resorts which are good for looking for long term rentals or long term lets especially in the winter. These resorts include Amadores, Bahia Feliz, Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Meloneras, Playa Del Ingles, Playa Taurito, Puerto Mogan, Puerto Rico and San Agustin.

Cities – Madrid & Barcelona

The capital of Spain and second-largest city, has many long term rentals or long term lets but prices are high.

Murcia

The Costa Almeria/Murcia region of Spain is the driest area of Spain and it has some popular towns and cities which include Garrucha, Mojacar, Vera, El Ejido, Los Gallardos, Turre, Cartagena, Santiago de la Ribera, San Pedro del Pinatar, Los Alcázares, Cabo de Palos, Águilas, Las Negras, San Jose, Aguadulce, Almeria, Roquetas de Mar, Viator, Adra, Benahadux, Albox, Almerimar, Carboneras, Aguilas and Cuevas del Almanzora.

Pros & Cons of Long Term Rentals in Spain

There is one major downside to a long term rental lets in Spain. After the year the tenant has the right to renew for up to five years and the landlord can only increase the rent by the annual rate of inflation. So what’s the problem!

Well because the tenants have so many rights, after a year you will find many landlords will want you out and will get different tenants in. It means you have to move over and over again but the upside is you experience living in different types of houses in different areas of Spain.

In any case, after a year’s long term property rental or long term let you probably have a better idea of where in Spain you would really like to live now – almost certainly it will be in a different area to the one you would have chosen before you moved to Spain.

Whether you are looking for a long term let on the Costa Blanca or a long term rental elsewhere in Spain we hope this information has been of help.

Long-term Winter Lets in Spain

If you are looking to escape the cold winter weather and temperatures in northern Europe then finding and locating a long-term winter rental in Spain is a great idea as the weather in wintertime is often mild and sunny.

Also at this time of year many villas and apartments will be empty so you can find cheap bargain prices for winter lets in Spain. The Costa del Sol is a good choice for a long term winter rental because it has one of the best climates in Spain.

Better still try the Canary Islands which are closer to Africa than Spain. Most popular islands include Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.

What is permanent residence and how is it different from residence permit?

To begin with, let’s clarify one point: permanent residence (permanent residence permit) is not a legal, but a generally accepted term, which is called long-term residence in the country after emigration. In different countries, permanent residence has different names, but the meaning remains the same: a particular state grants you the right to permanent or long-term residence. Unlike a residence permit, permanent residence also provides some additional features (for example, the right to vote), and when renewing, it is no longer necessary to confirm solvency (as is the case with a residence permit). In Spain, permanent residence means tarjeta de residence de larga duracion .

Before obtaining a permanent residence in Spain, it is necessary to obtain and extend several times a temporary residence permit. Typically, the scheme looks like this: renewal one year after receipt, two years after receipt, 7 years after receipt, and 10 years later. After 10 years, if all the conditions for extending the residence permit are met, you can apply for tarjeta de Residencia de larga duración or a long-term residence permit.

A residence permit can be either with or without the right to work. In both cases, this document gives the holder the right to legally live in Spain and move freely within the territory of the Schengen countries.

A citizen who has a residence permit in Spain must stay in the country for most of the year, that is, at least 183 days a year (there are some exceptions, for example, for the Golden Investor Visa). Otherwise, the Migration Service reserves the right to refuse to renew the documents allowing to be a resident.

Convenient renewal scheme – residence permit for 2 years, then renewal after 2 years and 5 years

Legal basis – Law 14/2013, which allows you to move to Spain for permanent residence through the acquisition of housing, came into force on January 1, 2014. A prerequisite for obtaining residence documents is the purchase of residential property in the amount of €500,000 (or investment in the Spanish economy from €1,000,000).

Leave a request and get advice on the Investor Visa today!

The initial documents for the purchase of a property in Spain will be issued for up to two years and will be referred to as “investor’s residence”. After two years, the homeowner can apply for an extension. If a positive decision is made, public services extend the possibility of staying for another two years.

An integral advantage of this residence permit is the absence of the need to permanently reside in Spain, it is enough for you to visit the country and your home at least once a year. You can profitably invest in real estate and get the opportunity to move to Spain for permanent residence in the future.

No criminal record and valid health insurance are also required.

According to the portal Investment Migration Insider , citizens of Russia and China receive the most active “Investor Golden Visas” through the purchase of housing. According to statistics, at least one hundred Russians issue Golden Visa every six months, and since the launch of the program, more than a thousand of our compatriots have managed to acquire a document.

It is worth noting that every fifth client of the agency Estate Spain buys a property in the amount of €500,000 and applies for a “Golden Visa”. We help our clients prepare the necessary package of documents, and also send them to law firms that specialize in obtaining a residence permit for investment. Also, in the process of issuing a document, clients have several frequently asked questions:

— Are taxes included in the required €500,000?
— No, not included. To obtain a Golden Visa, an applicant is required to invest at least half a million euros in local real estate. After that, you need to pay VAT (about 10% of the purchase amount).

— Is it possible to buy real estate with a mortgage and get a Golden Visa?
– Not allowed. Purchase on credit is not allowed.

— Is it possible to buy several properties for €500,000 and draw up a document?
– Yes it is possible. The main thing is that the total amount of purchases exceeds € 500 000. In this case, only real estate purchased after the start of the Golden Investor Visa program is considered. Thus, objects before 2013 do not count.

– Is co-ownership eligible under this program?
– Allowed if we are talking about relatives. Most often it is a husband and wife. In this case, both spouses will be able to obtain an investor residence permit.

Residence permit for financially independent persons or Visado de Residencia no Lucrativa also has its own characteristics:

6 months, then a regular multi-visa with a stay of 90 days in half a year is enough).

The renewal scheme looks like this: obtaining a residence permit, renewal after 1 year, then after 2 years, then after 5 years. Next – the possibility of obtaining citizenship.

It is obligatory to confirm the availability of funds at the rate of € 28 000 per applicant (according to 2020 data) each time the residence permit is extended.

Applicant must have no criminal record.

You cannot officially get a job (this residence permit assumes that it is obtained by financially independent persons who already have a source of income).

You can do business in Spain (be a founder, investor).

You can get a residence permit for family members (income for each – plus € 7000 per year).

On average, the period for obtaining such a residence permit is from 4 to 6 months.

This is the most popular legalization option among home buyers in Spain, as it does not require large investments in real estate. Suitable for people with passive income outside of Spain. As well as pensioners who do not need a work permit for obvious reasons.

2.2. Family ties

Family ties allow you to obtain a residence permit, and later citizenship and the right to permanent residence in Spain in the following cases:

If one of your parents or grandparents was of Spanish origin

If you currently have close relatives who are citizens of the Kingdom of Spain

If you now have close relatives who have already received a residence permit and work in Spain

Also, children born in Spain are eligible for accelerated citizenship during the year

2. 3. Education in Spain

Foreign citizens can obtain a student residence permit in Spain. The basis for obtaining such documents is the acquisition of a specialty in a paid educational institution. At the same time, the educational institution must have a certificate from the Spanish Ministry of Education and have the right to issue invitations to study for foreigners.

The direction you choose can be any:

comprehensive school for your child

language academy

business school

cooking and other courses

Student residence permit is renewed and extended every year together with the next academic year. With this residence permit, you have the right to work, but not more than 20 hours a week and without prejudice to your education.

After three years of residence on a residence permit, students have the opportunity to apply for a residence permit with the right to work. After obtaining a residence permit with the right to work and after five years, you will be able to apply for a permanent residence.

If you are interested in Spanish education, we recommend that you pay attention to the following articles:

Types of Spanish schools: public, private and Catholic. How to arrange a child
Spanish schools: academic year, school day, schedule, holidays, meals
Spanish schools: stages and profiles. How to study without knowing the language?

2.4. Marriage to a Spanish citizen

Marriage with a Spanish citizen is the basis for applying for a residence permit, and allows you to obtain citizenship and permanent residence in the shortest possible time. One year after the official registration of marriage, you can apply for Spanish citizenship.

If you decide to register a marriage in Spain, you need to contact the registry office at the place of residence of your future spouse. Depending on the municipality, the list of documents required for marriage registration may vary.

After receiving a document confirming your new social status, you apply to the police station at your place of residence, to the department for foreigners. In this department, you receive a resident card and a year later you apply for Spanish citizenship.

To get married in Russia, you submit an application to the registry office on the territory of the Russian Federation. Documents of a citizen of Spain, provided for registration of marriage, must be translated from Spanish into Russian and notarized. After that, you also apply at the Spanish police station and submit documents to open a resident card, and subsequently a citizen. Important to remember! Legislatively, your marriage will be regulated by the laws of the state in whose territory it was concluded.

You can find marriage stories in Spain in the emigrant section of our website.

2.5. Refugee status

Obtaining permanent residence in Spain after gaining refugee status and political asylum is possible both upon arrival in the country and at the country’s embassy in the territory of another state.

An immigration officer interviews and submits the asylum applicant. As a rule, such an interview is more like a psychological test or an exam, according to the results of which, if the result is successful, you can safely move and stay in the country.

This status is based on the 1951 Geneva Conventions and the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees. Refugee status allows you to enjoy all the rights of a native Spaniard, without the opportunity to take part in elections. The process of obtaining the status can take from several months to two or three years.

But one application and an interview is not enough. First of all, you need to have a good reason for applying for this status (you can read the criteria for refugee status in this document).

It is necessary to provide documents confirming the need for asylum, confirming the presence of political persecution and harassment in the homeland

It is also necessary to have all identity documents, be a law-abiding citizen and be aware of the state orders and peculiarities of the country from which refugee status is requested

For more information, please visit the following resources:

– in the Facebook group – Spanish Refugee Association.

We also recommend reading the real story of a refugee from Ukraine.

2.6. Work

The next way to get a long-term work visa, and subsequently a residence permit with the right to work – is to conclude a work contract with a Spanish company.

Highly qualified specialists also have a chance to receive the so-called European Blue Card (EU Blue Card), issued according to a simplified scheme, if the applicant meets certain requirements. The main among them is the presence of higher education in a specialty that is in demand in Spain.

To go to Spain as an invited specialist, you must have a contract with an employer that is registered and approved by the Spanish Ministry of Labor. If the vacancy has not been occupied by a Spanish employee for a long time, then only a foreign specialist can be invited.

At the moment, highly qualified specialists in certain areas are in demand in the state. If you are in demand in one of these areas, your chances of getting an invitation and the opportunity to move to Spain for work increase significantly.

The following areas remain the most in demand:

IT-sphere

Science

Chemical industry

A number of engineering industries

To fill such vacancies, citizens of Russia need to:

Confirm their qualifications

Perfect knowledge of Spanish

More about the Blue Card program

2.7. Residence permit for investment and / or opening a company in Spain

This option is almost identical to paragraph 1 and is a subspecies of Golden Visa . Only in this case we are not talking about investing in real estate, but about investing in the Spanish economy.

Spanish legislation provides for the granting of a residence permit to those foreign entrepreneurs who are willing to invest significant amounts of money. “Significant investment” means:

1. Securities (government bonds) in the amount of €2,000,000 or investment participation in companies and enterprises in Spain from €1,000,000. It can also be a bank deposit in the amount of €1,000,000.

2. Participation of a Russian citizen as an investor in a business project that is of economic and national interest to Spain and meets the following conditions:

creates new jobs

attracts investments and contributes to the development of the region in which the project is being implemented

provides financial support for innovative technologies and/or scientific research

The process of obtaining a residence permit with the right of permanent residence through the opening of a company – is long and difficult. It is not enough to simply be the founder of a company registered in Spain. It is obligatory to fulfill the following set of conditions:

job creation

taxes paid on time

active economic activity with increasing turnover and profit at the end of each reporting period

All tax and accounting documentation must be checked by the Spanish Ministry of Labor, which evaluates the activities of a legal entity.

A foreign investor and entrepreneur who wants to independently manage his company in Spain can change the original residence permit without the right to work for a residence permit with the right to work for himself.

According to the laws of Spain, the manager of any company undergoes mandatory registration and reports to the Social Security Fund and the tax office as an individual entrepreneur.

Other requirements and features of the Golden Investor Visa will be the same as when buying a home from €500,000 – this is an opportunity to stay in Spain from 1 to 365 days a year, a simplified renewal procedure ( 2 years – 2 years – 5 years ) and the possibility of obtaining a residence permit for family members.

2.8. Settlement move

And, finally, the last, the eighth legal way – a residence permit by settlement. Previously, almost every person who came to the territory of Spain and stayed there for a period of more than three years had the opportunity to apply for citizenship by residence.

Unfortunately, since 2018, for many foreign citizens, the method of confirming settled residence for three years is no longer valid. For some foreign citizens from the Schengen area, some concessions remain, but they do not apply to residents of Russia and other countries of the post-Soviet space. In order to be able to acquire permanent residence by settling down, a Russian citizen will have to live within Spain for more than ten years. However, if you are not afraid of such terms, this option may also be suitable.

Also, do not forget that Spain does not recognize the presence of another citizenship. Therefore, if you apply for residency documents, you will have to renounce Russian citizenship. Only former residents of Latin America have the right to two citizenships (of their country and Spain).

2.9. Spanish start-up visa or residence permit for innovative entrepreneurs

And finally, the last, ninth legal way is a start-up visa or residence permit for innovative entrepreneurs.

Since 2013, a program has been in place in Spain to attract smart businesses to the country. Similar programs exist in many other European countries. Their main goal is to develop innovative areas, most often they relate to the field of information technology. The main difference from the investor visa is that the applicant has not so much capital for the implementation of the project, but rather “disruptive innovation” ( Disruptive innovation ), which will significantly change the attitude of values in the market. An important factor will be the presence of specialized experience in the conduct of such a business. The program is implemented with the support of the Spanish Ministry of Economy.

What is required of the applicant

Having a “disruptive” innovative idea at the heart of the project that will be valuable for the development of the Spanish economy (justification required)

Business plan including investment plan

Documents, including copies of passports, marriage and birth certificates of children (if any), police clearance certificates, medical insurance for a residence permit.

Prove your financial solvency – confirm the availability of funds (20,000 euros for the applicant, and 11,000 for family members). The advantage will be the presence of real estate in any country.

Providing information on the budget for the project in Spain (at least 30,000 euros per year). The money can be kept both on the applicant’s account and on the accounts of co-investors or business angels supporting this project.

Documents can be submitted immediately for 2 years, but the first time it is better to submit documents for 1 year with a subsequent extension.

Advantages of a “start-up residence permit”

– the opportunity to obtain a residence permit immediately for all family members, including the applicant’s parents
– there is no need to be in Spain 183 in the first year of stay
– the opportunity to receive financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy for development project
– the ability to submit documents for one business project for several founders at once (optimally – three)
— the opportunity to join as a co-founder an existing project whose founders have already received start-up visas

Who will suit

This option is perfect for specialized IT entrepreneurs with similar business experience in their country. It is important that the project be both innovative and useful for the Spanish economy. Most likely, this option will not suit classic entrepreneurs (if the project does not contain a “breakthrough” component).

The cost of the support service for obtaining a start-up residence permit (including assistance in preparing a business plan and defending an idea) – from 2500 Euro.

Useful information

Finally, we talk about what to do after obtaining a residence permit, how to turn it into a full-fledged citizenship and how to receive a Spanish pension. We also answer other popular questions and provide useful links.

Pension for Russian citizens in Spain

Russia and Spain signed an agreement on the so-called proportionality. Based on this agreement, pension contributions will be governed by the laws of the state in which the person currently works. Accordingly, both countries share all pension expenses among themselves in relation to seniority.

If you have worked most of your life under an employment contract in Spain, then you can collect documents and receive a pension in the kingdom. Part of the pension, for the first years of work experience, you will receive from Russia, and the other part will be paid to you by the Spanish government. If you decide to return and meet old age at home, then vice versa.

Spanish domicile and citizenship

All the methods described above allow you to legally move to Spain for permanent residence from Russia or another country.

A prerequisite for obtaining permanent residence in Spain for Russians (and citizens of the CIS) will be residence in Spain with any residence permit for more than 10 years. After these 10 years, you will be able to apply for citizenship. Within 10 years, you renew the necessary documents (any of the residence permits), the required number of times.

Obtaining Spanish citizenship and the right to permanent residence on the basis of a residence permit is the most common way. Documents are considered in court. Often the applicant is called in for an interview, sometimes more than once. In the case of a marriage with a Spanish citizen, not only the applicant himself, but also his spouse is called for a conversation with the judge. The court decision with a positive or negative answer is sent to the applicant by mail.

Since 2014, foreigners have been required to take a Spanish proficiency test, which is designed to show the degree of integration of the applicant into Spanish society.

Frequently asked questions on a residence permit and permanent residence in Spain

No, Spain only has dual citizenship agreements with some countries, eg Latin America (+Andorra and Portugal). In all other cases, after obtaining a Spanish passport, you will have to give up the passport of your first country.

No, according to the rules of the refugee program, refugees cannot have real estate in the territory of the country in which asylum is requested.

If you have become a Spanish citizen (have obtained a passport) and have reached retirement age, then you can claim a pension in Spain (minimum if you did not work there, or based on the length of service in this country).

According to this residence permit, there is a half-year rule – that is, in Spain you need to spend at least 183 days a year. When extending a residence permit, this must be checked by stamps in the passport. If you entered Spain through another Schengen country, you must attach proof of entry into Spain with dates (for example, a boarding pass on an airplane or a bus ticket). Or, in advance of entering Spain, go to the police station with a request to give you the appropriate certificate.

Yes, once the total amount reaches €500,000, you can apply (all payments must be confirmed). The property must be purchased after 2013.

Temporary protection and procedure for obtaining refugee status for citizens of Ukraine in Spain

Temporary protection and procedure for obtaining refugee status for citizens of Ukraine in Spain

Temporary protection and procedure for obtaining refugee status for citizens of Ukraine in Spain

Members of the Council of the European Union activated the Directive on the temporary protection of citizens and residents of Ukraine for the rapid acceptance of refugees in a simplified manner. However, temporary protection does not mean automatic refugee status.

Protection status will be activated for one year, renewable for a maximum of three years. If the situation does not improve, it will automatically continue for another six months. You can only extend the term twice.

Temporary protection of Ukrainians provides for the right to reside, access to the labor market, medical services and social assistance in the EU countries.

Ukrainians receive the status of temporary protection after crossing the border automatically. Ukrainians with “temporary protection” can get a job, while hiring preference will still be given to residents of the EU.

“Persons under temporary protection are allowed to engage in employment or self-employment (entrepreneurial) employment, depending on vocational education and practical work experience. For reasons of labor market policy, EU Member States may give priority to EU citizens,” the directive states.

Member States shall ensure that beneficiaries of temporary protection have access to suitable housing or, where necessary, receive funds to obtain housing.

Temporary protection also means welfare and livelihood assistance and medical care. Children and adults must be granted access to the education system “under the same conditions as nationals of the host Member State”.

Temporary protection extends primarily to the following categories of persons:

Citizens of Ukraine who lived on its territory as of February 24 and after this date and who were forced to leave the country.

Persons residing in Ukraine who were in Spain at the start of the conflict
and were unable to return to their country.

In both cases, we are talking about Ukrainian citizens living in Ukraine and third-country nationals or stateless persons who have been living in Ukraine for a long time with their families.

All applicants need to apply as soon as possible ( within a maximum of three months ) to apply for international protection or temporary protection and provide the relevant documents (document confirming the willingness to apply for international protection, the document of the applicant for international protection or the document of the recipient of temporary protection).

To apply for international protection in Spain, you must be in Spain or on one of its borders:

At the Spanish border (at the airport, port or land border): inform of the National Police or of the Civil Guard that you want to apply for international protection.

In Spain : contact the authorized immigration authorities (Oficina de Asilo y Refugio) or the police stations in person.

Immediately at the moment of crossing the border, or within three days from the moment of crossing the border, it is necessary to fill out and submit to the police station an application form for entry into the territory of Spain.

The request for provisional international protection is submitted directly to the authorized immigration authorities (Oficina de Asilo y Refugio).

For social assistance and assistance in finding temporary housing, contact the Commission for Assistance to Refugees (CEAR).

Depending on where in which region of Spain the arrived citizens of Ukraine are located, they can also apply to the following organizations:

CEAP (Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado): Madrid, Andalusia (Malaga, Seville, Cadiz), Basque Country, Canary Islands (Gran Canaria and Tenerife).

ACCEM: Andalusia (Cordoba), Castile La Mancha, Castile and León, Murcia, Asturias, Extremadura, Aragon, Galicia and Extremadura.

Red Cross (Cruz Roja) : Andalusia (Almeria, Granada and Huelva), Balearic Islands, Cantabria, Catalonia, La Rioja, Madrid, Navarre and Valencia.

Temporary protection does not mean automatic refugee status under the Geneva Convention (which gives rights similar to a residence permit). However, people who have received temporary protection can also apply for refugee status .

The Directive will allow Member States to simplify border control at the borders with Ukraine, which in turn will speed up the procedure for accepting refugees.

At the moment, the Spanish Government has not yet approved a detailed regulation on obtaining temporary protection. It is expected that the relevant document will be developed and published next week.

The biggest plane crash of the 20th century | AviaPort.

Digest
It is extremely rare that major air crashes are caused by any one reason. In most cases, incidents of this kind are due to a whole complex of errors and coincidences. However, even with this in mind, the tragedy that occurred in the Canary Islands in the early evening of March 27, 1977 years old, looks like an incredible combination of a wide variety of circumstances. A collision on the runway of Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife at once two Boeing 747, the largest and most modern passenger aircraft of the time, led to the death of 583 people, adults and children, flying on a well-deserved vacation under the hot Canarian sun.

Let’s take a look at the biggest plane crash of the 20th century, which changed all the perceptions of safety in the aviation industry.

Spring 1977. A new tourist season begins in the Canary Islands, a tropical archipelago off the coast of Morocco. From all over the world, airliners with holidaymakers flock to the Spanish health resort. Almost all of them land at the largest airport on the island of Gran Canaria. But not March 27, 1977. At 1:15 p.m., a flower shop located in its passenger terminal building exploded, the first link in a long chain of events that led to the worst aviation disaster of the century.

The attack, in which one person was injured, was organized by Canarian separatists who fought (unsuccessfully) for the independence of the archipelago from Spain. Shortly after the first explosion, the police received a telephone call – an unknown person warned of a second bomb planted in the terminal building. Passengers and personnel who were in it were immediately evacuated, and the airport itself stopped accepting new flights. They were diverted to the neighboring island of Tenerife, where the Los Rodeos airport was located – the only alternative in the Canaries capable of serving long-haul aircraft.

Among the flights to Los Rodeos were two overcrowded charters from Los Angeles and Amsterdam. Both were operated by the recently commissioned and then largest Boeing 747 liners. On board the B747 of the Dutch airline KLM, there were 14 crew members and 235 passengers, including 52 children.

A similar aircraft of the famous American company Pan American was filled even tighter. In total, there were 396 people on board, including 380 passengers, mostly retirees, for whom the Canary Islands were to be just the starting point for a future long cruise. This Boeing, proudly called the Clipper Victor, was not quite ordinary. It was he who, seven years earlier, completed the first commercial flight among all 747s, finally opening the way to the sky for the glorious and most charismatic family of aircraft. Its the same eight months later in the same 19The 70th managed to steal to Cuba, where the previously unseen Clipper met Fidel Castro in person.

These two giants were far from the only liners forced to land in Tenerife. A relatively small airport, in those years designed to serve only regional flights, was clogged with international flights. All the planes that ended up here against their will, of course, did not climb onto the small platform of Los Rodeos. They also occupied almost the entire (only!) main taxiway, located parallel to the runway. This was the second factor that caused the main tragedy in world aviation of the 20th century that occurred a few hours later.

The third and largely determining factor was the personality of the captain of the Dutch Boeing. Jacob van Zanten was, at first glance, an ideal pilot. Rich experience and attractive appearance made him the face of the airline. A large portrait of him, next to a photograph of the flagship of the fleet, adorned the spreads of the in-flight magazines. In addition, he also led the training program for new pilots for the KLM 747s. But this outwardly impeccable facade hid problems that were unpleasant for the captain himself and his employer.

Prior to his last flight, van Zanten did not fly for about six months, educating his own colleagues in the training center. Already in Tenerife, he made a series of decisions one after another that became the catalyst for the coming disaster, starting with the requirement to fully refuel his Boeing in Los Rodeos.

Judging by his behavior, van Zanten was in a desperate hurry. An unplanned landing in Los Rodeos resulted in a long four-hour wait, after which the plane still had to be in the air again, fly to a neighboring island, disembark passengers there, take on new ones and return to Amsterdam. The length of the working day for the pilots was strictly regulated, KLM did not have a spare crew in the Canary Islands, and if the Dutch Boeing did not fly home before seven in the evening, the flight would have to be postponed to the next day.

Naturally, van Zanten, who himself became part of the company’s top management by his position as the company’s lead instructor pilot, was not happy with such a potential development. He decided to take advantage of the wait in Los Rodeos to save time on refueling, but in the end only prolonged his stay in Tenerife. As soon as the refueling of the Dutch began, the Gran Canaria airport reopened and was ready to receive aircraft transferred to its neighbors. However, the huge B747 KLM blocked the runway exit for the rest of the aircraft, including its twin from Pan Am, which was standing at the back of the taxiway. The American Boeing was completely ready for an immediate takeoff, but had to wait for the end of the refueling of the liner from the Netherlands, which dragged on for 35 minutes.

During that extra half hour, the weather in Los Rodeos turned bad. Her unpredictable nature was another feature of this airport. It is located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level and under certain conditions quite often turns out to be above the cloud line. So it happened on March 27, 1977. Closer to five o’clock in the evening, a fully refueled Dutch 747 finally entered the runway. The weather was still good, but clouds followed the huge plane from the sea. There was a specific, but quite typical situation for Los Rodeos: a passenger liner was driving to the other end of the runway in sunlight, but clouds quickly set in behind it, in fact, it was a thick fog.

Since the main taxiway was still littered with aircraft, the Boeing that appeared on the runway for takeoff was forced to drive the entire length of the runway and make a 180-degree turn at the opposite end – a task in itself for a giant 747, not an easy one, but quite doable . The crew, led by van Zanten, coped with it perfectly, but this was their last successful action.

Immediately after the Dutchman, the American Clipper Victor appeared on the same lane. He was already moving in the fog (visibility was less than 100 meters), he had to drive only to the third exit from the runway, leave the runway through it and move onto a parallel taxiway, which was already clear of aircraft in this section. As conceived by the controllers, the American could continue to go parallel to the runway, along which the KLM aircraft could also take off at the same time.

To understand what happened next, you need to look at the map of the airport. Even a person who is not versed in aviation will notice that that same third convention was directed against the move of Clipper Victor. To comply with the requirements of dispatchers, the American would need to make a 148-degree turn, and then another, exactly the same, in front of the main taxiway. The Pan Am crew decided that this was physically impossible, given the dimensions of their plane, especially since the next, fourth exit was much more convenient: there they were waiting for two turns of only 35 degrees. Having concluded that the controllers had made a mistake, the American Boeing passed the third exit and continued to the fourth. He didn’t get that far.

At the same time, an impatient Jacob van Zanten was rushing into the air. He had only two hours left to fly to Gran Canaria, drop off and land passengers with luggage and go to Amsterdam. There was a wall of fog in front of the plane, somewhere in the depths of which its twin was moving. Van Zanten was only waiting for the dispatcher’s command. The dispatcher, who spoke English with a monstrous accent and because of the clouds and the absence of a ground radar at the airport, did not see what was happening on the airfield.

The final link in the chain of tragic coincidences was a radio exchange between the control tower and two Boeings. Turning around at the end of the runway, the Dutch crew requested permission to take off. Instead, the controller radioed a climb instruction to the KLM, which van Zanten and his colleagues erroneously interpreted as the clearance they needed.

However, the controller understood the ambiguity of the exchange by adding the phrase “OK, get ready to take off, I’ll call you” after the instruction. Exactly at the same moment, the American crew got in touch, continuing their movement along the runway from the third to the fourth exit and puzzled by what was happening. The Pan Am pilots told the controller, “We’re still on the runway, Clipper 1736.” However, both phrases were broadcast at the same time, resulting in an effect called heterodyne. Jacob van Zanten and his crew heard neither the dispatcher’s call to them (“Be ready to take off, I’ll call you”), nor the Americans’ message that they were still following the runway. All van Zanten heard was the word “OK” and the local oscillator, the high-pitched squeal that two overlapping phrases had turned into. The Dutch were finally convinced that the ATC “OK” referred to their takeoff clearance. The engines went into takeoff mode, 14 seconds remained before the monstrous disaster.

The Americans saw the lights of the Dutch Boeing 6 seconds later, when it was only 700 meters away. Their captain had time to exclaim, “He’s coming… Look! Damn, that son of a bitch is coming!” – after which he tried to turn sharply to the left onto the lawn near the runway. It took the Dutch 3 seconds more to realize what was happening. At 17:06:40, the KLM aircraft, finding the Clipper Victor in front of it, attempted to pull away from the runway. And who knows, perhaps the airliners would have missed each other if the Dutch B747 had not refueled before takeoff. The extra 40 tons of fuel really became superfluous.

Two giants collided at 17:06:50. The KLM jet caught the Clipper Victor with its engines, lower fuselage and undercarriage, effectively ripping it open like a tin can. By inertia, he continued to fly, dousing everything around with kerosene, for about 150 meters, after which he fell, slid 300 meters along the runway and exploded. No one had a chance to survive on board. 14 crew members and 234 passengers burned alive.

The American Clipper Victor also caught fire, but its crew and passengers were a bit more fortunate. 61 people, including the captain, co-pilot and flight engineer, managed to escape. All survivors were at the front of the aircraft and escaped through holes in the fuselage.

The number of victims was appalling. In total, 583 people died as a result of the collision of the two largest aircraft of the century. In conditions of dense fog, rescue services did not immediately notice that two Boeings had crashed at once. At first, they extinguished only the Dutch plane, not suspecting that American passengers continued to die fifty meters away.

Ironically, upon learning of the tragedy, the KLM management first appointed its chief specialist on the 747, Jacob van Zanten himself, to the urgently assembled team of experts, who gave the command to take off, without making sure that the runway in front of him was free.

It was the mistake of the Dutch captain that was named as the main cause of the disaster. The Commission of Inquiry found that it was caused by the pilot’s haste due to the desire to leave Tenerife as soon as possible and meet the regulatory deadlines for the flight. The thick fog, interference of radio communications, the use of non-standard phrases during them and poor knowledge of foreign languages also played their tragic role. Secondary factors were the refusal of the American Boeing to leave the runway at the third exit (as it was originally told), the delay in refueling and the terrorist attack at the Gran Canaria airport, which started it all.

What happened in Tenerife had a strong impact on air transportation, completely invisible to passengers, but fundamentally important for their direct executors. All radio communications between pilots and controllers have been standardized to prevent misinterpretation of controller commands. In addition, airlines began to focus exclusively on what was later called Crew Resource Management (crew capability management). For carriers, it became clear that it was not enough to simply train the crew in the technical process of aircraft control.

It became obvious that in order to minimize the “human factor” in possible severe accidents, it is necessary to take into account the relationships within the crew, among the members of the aircraft crew. The tragedy in Tenerife has become a textbook example of the viciousness of unquestioned leadership in the cockpit. During that very final radio exchange, a young Dutch flight engineer expressed doubt that the Boeing Pan Am had left the runway, but Captain van Zanten and his co-pilot ignored the flight engineer’s remark, relying on their experience. At the same time, the flight engineer, crushed by the authority of the KLM star, did not have the courage to insist on his point of view. From late 19In the 70s, the crews of all airlines in the world began to be required that all important decisions be made by mutual agreement of all those in the cockpit.

Almost 40 years have passed since the tragedy in the Canary Islands, but it is still amazing how seemingly incredible coincidences did happen.

Ruta 0-4-0: ¿Algún voluntario para récord?

Recupero este súper Manual básico de aspirantes a la tinerfeña 0-4-0, elaborado magistralmente por Miguel Caselles en 2012. / Foto: Manuel Merillas en acción / Copy: Diego de la Iglesia

Tras el reciente récord absoluto de Pau Capell (6h23′) y la plusmarca nacional por parte de Belén Rodríguez (8h32′), la 0-4-0 está de moda. Por esta razón, que menos que recuperar este artículo de postín que hace 8 años confeccionó mi buen amigo Miguel Caselles (uno de los padres del Maratón Alpino Madrileño y Cross Alpino -Alpujarreño -Trevélez-Mulhacen-Trevélez). Un gran documento para orientar y guiar a los candidatos a tocar el top de esta súper ruta tinerfeña.

Hablamos de las rutas más duras e impresionantes de nuestro país, con sus aproximadamente 3.750 metros de desnivel positivo (en 27km aprox), desde el mar hasta el pico más alto del país, el Teide, a 3718 metros, más la consiguiente bajada. Todo un gran desafío para corremontañeros o caminantes. Eso sí, antes de proceder, entrena unas cuantas horas, átate bien las zapas y ten tus cuádriceps muy preparados. Sólo por rebañar un buen plato de papas ‘arrugás con mojo picón’ merece la pena poner rumbo en zapatillas a la siempre hospitalaria isla de Tenerife. Si además pretendemos afrontar a pie el mayor muro terrestre de la geografía española, el desafío está servido. ¡Buen provecho!

Asalto ‘express’ a la cima Atlántica

Desde que la actividad de correr en montaña irrumpió en los ambientes atléticos y montañeros, varios recorridos de las cordilleras españolas han logrado notoria popularidad. Cada temporada un nuevo record es instaurado por corredores “voladores” y así sucesivamente en una carrera no competitiva que parece no tener fin. Se trata de completar trayectos o ascensiones a cumbre (esa es la esencia del montañismo) en el menor tiempo posible. Al fin y al cabo, no es necesario que nos organicen una competición para disfrutar de las montañas pujando contra el crono y las dificultades.

De las diferentes alternativas montañeras que tenemos en España para testar nuestro sistema locomotriz, por desnivel y elevación, el mayor desafío se encuentra en el tinerfeño volcán Teide. Desde la misma orilla del mar es el más grande escalón orográfico que de una atacada se puede afrontar tanto al subir como al bajar. La “directísima” suma desde la playa hasta el vértice superior 3.718 m verticales… y otros tantos de regreso, en un trayecto aproximado de 54-55km. Es el desafío integral del Teide, la Ruta 0-4-0. Todo un reto “low cost” para senderistas y corremontañeros, bien conocido por los correcaminos canarios y que fuera de sus fronteras ya va teniendo su tirón.

Teide Total

Cuando el invierno cubre a Europa de lluvia, frío y nieve, el Archipiélago Canario sigue disfrutando de una benévola climatología que muchos aprovechan para tostarse al sol… o para seguir entrenando sin temor a que el termómetro baje de cero. En un aéreo abrir y cerrar de ojos el verano se hace posible en plena tembladera peninsular… y la Ruta 0-4-0 es toda una tentación.

Pero antes de embarcar conviene estudiar bien el mapa y, si se dispone de tiempo, familiarizarse con el trazado y la altitud. Si vamos a la carrera y no queremos lastrarnos mucho, habrá que valorar la posibilidad de dejar un depósito con avituallamiento previamente escondido a mitad de recorrido… o que algún compañero se brinde a subir lo necesario a la zona alta de la ruta.

Desde luego el asedio a ‘pinrrel’ vulcano-atlético hipotenusa arriba e hipotenusa abajo pasando por la punta del triángulo es un buen palizón. Andando ligero en las cuestas y trotando cuando el desnivel es favorable, se emplean unas 6h40′ en subir y alrededor de 4h en bajar. En total, unas 10h40′. Un skyrunner bien entrenado rondará las 7h40′ (poco menos de cinco en ascender y algo más de dos y media en descender). Por supuesto, para quienes prefieran disfrutar pausadamente de las vistas que ofrecen las faldas de la isla-volcán, la opción es hacer noche en el refugio Altavista, 3. 270 mts, al subir, y descender al día siguiente a la playa.

Progresando en la 0-4-0 / Copy: Victoria Sánchez

A cuestas con la cuesta

Puestos en línea de salida, el cronómetro ha de accionarse pisando la misma orilla de la Playa del Socorro, en el municipio de Los Realejos. Hay quien prefiere ascender durante la noche y pisar cumbre de madrugada (si llegas antes de las 9:00h no necesitas permiso de ascensión a cima), mientras que otros arrancan de madrugada para disponer de luz durante el recorrido. En cualquier caso la elección de la hora de salida dependerá de nuestras estimaciones cronométricas.
Una vez fuera de la playa, los primeros kilómetros discurren por un corto tramo de autovía en dirección a Icod de los Vinos y luego por pista de tierra, hasta cruzar las calles de los pintorescos barrios realejeros de Tigaiga e Icod el Alto. Mas adelante, tras bordear campos de plataneras, se alcanza el mirador de La Corona, 760 m, con vistas sobre el amplio valle de La Orotava. Se sigue progresando por el característico espinazo sembrado de antenas y poco a poco nos internamos en una tupida y húmeda “jungla” de pinos, laurisilva y helechos. Si en los días previos ha llovido las polvorientas pistas de tierra se convierten en resbaladizos barrizales.

Superados los primeros mil metros de vertical se llega a El Asomadero, 1.075 mts, otro aéreo mirador utilizado como despegue por parapentistas. Las pistas siguen ganando altura con porcentajes elevados y los cruces de caminos se suceden. Ante la duda, siempre la opción de mayor pendiente. Nos toparemos con el merendero de la Choza de la Piedra de los Pastores que encamina la alternativa más directa. Aún son visibles las huellas de pasados incendios que ha sufrido este escudo boscoso. Hay días que los vientos alisios tupen de nieblas el bosque con un ambiente fantasmagórico, sin embargo más arriba suele estar despejado.
Al fondo… “La Bestia”

Pronto se alcanza la Ermita de la Cruz de Fregel, uno de los puntos más significativos. La zona más imprecisa de la ruta ha quedado atrás. Al llegar a la ermita sumamos el segundo kilómetro vertical, 2.085 mts. Éste es un buen lugar para haber dejado un depósito de “fuel”, que nos servirá de avituallamiento tanto de subida como de bajada, dividiendo así la ruta en tres partes.
Aunque aún queda bastante terreno por recorrer, al fondo ya se ve nítidamente el descomunal cono volcánico. Después de tanta subida toca descender el único tramo de apreciable declive por la Degollada (collado) del Cedro, que nos adentrará en la Cañada de los Guancheros y el Llano de las Brujas. Se masca el vacío en este páramo arenoso salpicado de pequeños rulos de obsidiana y pómez, lanzados como metralla por el volcán. Los aficionados a observar el firmamento aseguran que es lugar privilegiado donde colocar el telescopio… o para el avistamiento de OVNIs. El acantilado rojizo de los Riscos de La Fortaleza cierra el costado derecho de este “valle del silencio”.

En el cráter cimero / Copy: Victoria Sánchez

Los caminos utilizados hasta aquí son reminiscencia de los utilizados por los guanches, originarios pobladores de la Isla, para alcanzar las Cañadas del Teide, en su búsqueda trashumante de pasto y vainas de retama para los rebaños de cabras u ovejas. Y que continuaron utilizando pastores, carboneros, colmeneros, leñadores, recolectores de cisco de retama, hieleros o los azufreos que se aventuraban hasta la propia boca del volcán. Los frondosos pinares quedaron abajo.

Aunque estamos en un tramo “corrible” el terreno no deja de sumar metros a la vertical. Cruzamos frente a los inconfundibles Huevos del Teide, que son enormes piroclastos, bombas volcánicas, expulsados por la montaña sagrada de los guanches, de la que decían era “el lugar que sustenta el cielo”. Montaña Blanca se ve cerca y al rato se transita por la ruta que parte del cercano parking para vehículos La Pizarra.

A pleno pulmón

El camino ahora se deja engullir por las coladas de lava que chorrearon ladera abajo hasta solidificarse en formas escultóricas. Unos bastones ayudan lo suyo en este ‘cuestódromo’ natural que suma ya su tercer kilómetro vertical. El sendero serpentea izándose sobremanera a lo largo de Lomo Tieso hasta llegar al refugio Altavista, 3.270 mts. Fue construido en 1892 a instancia de un naturalista inglés y remodelado hace pocos años. Para senderistas es el lugar ideal donde hacer noche, ver la puesta de sol, y rematar la ascensión viendo amanecer desde el punto más alto de los archipiélagos atlánticos. Presenciar la kilométrica proyección triangular de la sombra del Teide sobre el Océano bien lo merece. De necesitarse se puede comprar algo de comida y/o agua.

Avanzando entre el ‘malpaís’ de negra lava procedente del último reventón del volcán, 1798, se cruza próximo a la característica Cueva de Hielo, de la que antaño se retiraban bloques de hielo que eran transportados en mulas al Puerto de la Cruz para, entre otros usos, elaborar sorbetes y granizados. Los metros se ganan ágilmente al paso por el Mirador de la Fortaleza, que suele estar repleto de turistas procedentes del teleférico.

Nada más superar la estación superior del teleférico, La Rambleta, 3.555 mts, hay que sortear el “checkpoint” de acceso al sendero Telesforo Bravo. Guardas del Parque Nacional verifican que lleves en regla la autorización. Llama la atención que para salvaguardar el frágil cráter cimero de los numerosos turistas que alcanzan este punto en teleférico, se condicione, de igual modo, el paso a los pocos que se han ganado a pulso toda la ascensión de la montaña. De cualquier modo, a pie o a bordo de la jaula mecánica, sin el permiso expedido por el Parque Nacional del Teide no pasas, a no ser que lo hagas cuando el teleférico no funciona (entre las cinco de la tarde y las nueve de la mañana).

Minutos después se conquista el “Premio de la Montaña”. Se acabó la cuesta. Del cráter cumbrero resoplan volátiles fumarolas dejando un fuerte olor a azufre. Quizá por ello los guanches lo llamaban Echeyde, una especie de infierno donde moraban los poderes del mal al que había que temer y ofrendar. La panorámica a 360 grados es de impresión, más aún si bajo los pies se estancan tupidos mares de nubes.

¡Agua a la vista!

Ahora toca encarar la segunda parte de la ruta: el descenso… y son casi 4 kilómetros verticales a favor de la gravedad que acaban con las bisagras de cualquiera.

Se trata de volver sobre nuestros pasos. En los primeros compases el sendero es técnico y los bastones son un incordio. A partir de Montaña Blanca se les saca más partido. De nuevo por el Llano de las Brujas y la Cañada de los Guancheros. Salvamos el talud en subida de la Degollada del Cedro hasta la Ermita del Cristo de Fregel y, ahora sí, ya todo es cuesta abajo, muy cuesta abajo. Las rodillas chirrían lo suyo. Volvemos a adentrarnos en el pinar y hay que estar atentos a las bifurcaciones.

En el top del Teide, techo de España con sus 3.718 mts. Queda bajar.. / Copy: Victoria Sánchez

Cruzados los barrios altos de Los Realejos, vuelve a saludarnos la estatua gigante del Mencey Bentor en Icod el Alto. Ya no hay posibilidad de perdida. Medio kilómetro de vertical más abajo se enfila por la avenida marítima hasta la escalera que baja a la arena de la Playa del Socorro. Tan sólo queda mojarse las zapatillas como si cruzásemos bajo un arco de Meta. Parado el cronómetro, merece la pena un chapuzón y una ronda de cervezas en el chiringuito de la playa. Independientemente del tiempo realizado, no se me ocurre mejor modo de recuperación y celebración.

Equipo Recomendado

• Mochila • Ropa (de abrigo en invierno) y calzado deportivo • Cortavientos • Bastones (bien utilizados ahorran toneladas de presión a espalda y articulaciones) • Gafas de sol • Gorra/Buff • Frontal • Mapa/Croquis/GPS (si no se conoce el trazado) • Agua (alrededor de medio litro por cada hora de ejercicio intenso y mantenido en un día caluroso y húmedo) • Alimento energético (siempre algo de más por si el día se complica) • Teléfono (en caso de emergencia hay tramos sin cobertura) • Permiso ascensión al Teide • DNI (se debe presentar junto al permiso) • Euros (por si ‘petamos’ y hay que bajar en teleférico o para comprar agua y/o comida en el refugio Altavista o en la estación superior del teleférico)

Depósito de Avituallamiento
Si no disponemos de “equipo de apoyo” es recomendable dejar el día anterior un depósito de agua discretamente escondido en la zona de la Ermita de la Cruz de Fregel (2. 085 m). Su situación es ideal para repostar tanto a la subida como a la bajada pues divide a la ruta por altitud y distancia en tres partes equidistantes. La forma más fácil de llegar es caminando unos cuatro kilómetros desde el aparcamiento del Centro de Visitantes El Portillo del Parque Nacional del Teide (carretera TF-21). Si se incluyen alimentos es conveniente dejar el depósito herméticamente cerrado en bolsas que lo protejan de animales o eventual lluvia. Por supuesto ningún resto de basura será abandonado.

La meteo
En el Teide e inmediaciones, pueden darse bruscos cambios de temperatura con respecto a la playa, fuertes vientos y nevadas. Como en cualquier otra montaña es preciso conocer el contexto climatológico, predicción meteorológica y horas de luz. Consultad en Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias y AEMET.

Señalización de la 0-4-0

Según Raquel Ceca (Turismo Tenerife): «La señalización correcta de la 0-4-0 se completó en diciembre de 2019 ya que se tenía que consensuar con el ayuntamiento y con una serie de propietarios por los que pasa el trazado. Se tuvo que realizar una labor bastante importante, uniendo los tres palos: Cabildo, Ayuntamiento y privado. A partir de entonces, la señalización está debidamente colocada hasta lo que es la entrada del Parque Nacional del Teide».

Parece obvio que la coherente señalización de la Ruta 0-4-0 ha facilitado el tránsito responsable de deportistas, incluidas las zonas protegidas del Parque Nacional (ya señalizadas), y potencia a la isla de Tenerife aún más como destino de turismo-deportivo. La apuesta que Canarias está haciendo por la adecuación de su red de senderos y la organización de numerosas carreras por montaña y ultratrails está dando sus frutos y consolidando a Tenerife y a su archipiélago, a ser uno de los destinos favoritos para este turismo activo.

Abstract

Background Colonic epithelial cells form a frontline intestinal barrier and maintain its function which deteriorates early in ulcerative colitis (UC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in regulation of intestinal epithelial integrity and barrier permeability. However, there is a lack of understanding about cell type-specific expression of miRNAs in UC.

Methods Two independent cohorts composed of active and quiescent UC patients (n=74), and healthy controls (HC; n=50) were studied. Crypt-bottom (CD44⁺) and crypt-top (CD66a⁺) colonic epithelial cell populations were enriched using FACS. Small RNA-sequencing was performed on colon biopsy and colonic epithelial cell population samples. Data processing encompassed differential expression, gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and clinical correlation analysis.

Results We describe differentially expressed miRNAs among active and quiescent UC compared to HC colon tissue and propose their involvement in intestinal barrier integrity regulation. We further focus on crypt-bottom and crypt-top colonic epithelial cells and characterise common and cell population-specific miRNA expression in response to UC-caused inflammation. We suggest that differentially expressed miRNAs are commonly involved in inflammation- and intestinal barrier integrity-related processes (such as signalling of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13), while differences between cell populations might reflect their function, i.e., crypt-bottom cell miRNA target genes are enriched in regulation of cell differentiation. Moreover, we show cell population-specific miRNA expression correlations with endoscopic disease activity, i.e., let-7b-5p and let-7e-5p negatively correlates with activity score only in the crypt-bottom cells, while miR-24-3p and miR-27a-3p positively correlates only in the crypt-top cells.

Conclusions Changes in miRNA expression during UC are epithelial cell type- and UC activity-specific (including correlations with endoscopic Mayo score). Further, irrespective of the UC stage and colonic cell population, deregulated miRNAs are potentially involved in signalling pathways responsible for regulation of intestinal barrier integrity and permeability.

What is already known?Colonic epithelium plays an important role in pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), while microRNAs (miRNA) have been implicated in modulation of intestinal homeostasis.

What is new here?Cell type-specific miRNA expression of colonic epithelial cells during UC was unknown. Here, we show cell population-specific miRNA expression in response to UC-caused inflammation in crypt-top and crypt-bottom colonic cells.

How can this study help patient care?The identified cell type-specific correlations of miRNA expression and endoscopic Mayo score might be further evaluated in UC monitoring and diagnostics as well as selected as targets for further therapeutics development.

Summary We present microRNA transcriptome analysis on different levels – colon tissue and epithelial cell population – in ulcerative colitis. Results indicate cell type- and disease stage-dependent microRNA deregulation, unveil associations with disease activity, and putative biological role of deregulated microRNAs.

When and Where to Shop at Playa del Carmen Markets

Playa del Carmen boasts a thriving community filled with artists, artisans and health-conscious cuisine, all reflected in the small city’s extensive local markets. Riviera Maya clothing designers, artists, organic companies and small businesses flock to these regular events to sell their homemade and handmade products to the local community, making them a great spot for expats to meet like-minded people and discover new Playa products.

Below is BuyPlaya Real Estate’s list of Playa del Carmen’s most well-known markets, each with a wide range of organic and handmade items to purchase. Most of these local markets are hosted on “Mexican Time”, usually with no regular dates, so we have included some links to their Facebook pages so you can follow along with their upcoming calendars and events.

What people are saying

By Ana M

“Cool hangout spot”

Oct 2019

There is a lot of parking which is rare for Playa, it is great for big groups everyone can choose what they want to eat and there is also a water park for children. It isn’t a typical market it’s more like an outdoor food court, but there is a great variety!

“Dissapointing except for the sushi”

Aug 2019

I thought this would be like a typical mexican public market so we really went out of our way to find it but no, its just a semblance of a mall with a catchy name and logo, nice architectural features, yet very few vendors or restaurants at this time.
The saving grace to this locale is a Japanese restaurant … excellent sushi.. yet a long trip for it. Otherwise a real disapointment.

The best things to do in Playa del Carmen

With a walkable city center, vibrant nightlife and easy access to beaches and reefs, ruins and jungles, it’s no wonder Playa del Carmen is one of the fastest-growing cities in Quintana Roo.

From its humble beginnings as a fishing village, Playa has evolved into a multicultural beach town brimming with remarkable restaurants and cafes, yoga studios and chic apartments. But it hasn’t forgotten its roots, either: taquerias still line the side streets, Mexican music blasts from public speakers and lively night markets take over the squares as night falls.

It’s a pleasure to get to know this multi-faceted city in the middle of the Riviera Maya. Here are the top things to do in Playa del Carmen.

Seek out the Xaman-Há ruins

Few casual tourists know this, but Playa del Carmen is home to a set of Maya ruins that date back to the 13th century. Xaman-Há was established here as a launchpad for pilgrimages from the mainland to Cozumel. Mayans from all over the region would pass through Playa del Carmen en route to worship Ix Chel, the goddess of fertility.

Today, the Xaman-Há ruins lie inconspicuously under thick foliage, among creeping vines and hanging roots, in the Playacar gated community. You’ll most probably spot more iguanas than visitors here – and that’s the subtle charm of the site. To visit, walk along the Playacar beach or enter through the Playacar Fase II gates and let the guards know you’re visiting the ruins. Although they’re located within the private residential area, accessing the ruins is free.

Swim in a water-filled cavern

To cool off from the blazing sun and thumping beach clubs, intrepid travelers can dive into the secret underworld of turquoise pools and caverns. Called cenotes, these natural swimming holes were considered by the ancient Mayans to be portals for communicating with the gods. These days, they are the crown jewels of the Riviera Maya, drawing in outdoorsy travelers and adventurous families.

The nearest cenotes to Playa del Carmen are just a 20-minute drive or easy colectivo bus ride away. The trio – Cenotes Azul, Cristalino and Eden – are all right next to another, making it easy to visit all three in one day. With crystal-clear water and skin-nibbling fish swimming around, these open-air cenotes provide bundles of fun for travelers of all ages. Grown-ups are free to jump off the cliff edges into the water; teenagers can put on snorkeling masks and swim between the boulders; while tiny tots will enjoy splashing in the shallow pools.

Take a day trip to Cozumel

You can see Isla Cozumel looming on the horizon from any point along Playa del Carmen’s waterfront. With a low-key atmosphere and miles of empty beaches, the island is an excellent escape from the hubbub of Playa. It’s an easy 1-hour boat ride away, with high-speed ferries departing hourly every day from the main pier downtown.

Don’t underestimate the size of Cozumel: as Mexico’s biggest Caribbean island, it measures 30 miles (48km) long and merits at least a few days to see it all. Even if you’re here for the day, we suggest hiring a buggy or jeep to navigate the island’s lush tropical forests and nature reserves.

Punta Sur Ecological Park is a highlight for many: spot crocodiles on a lagoon boat ride, visit the Maya ruin El Caracol and climb the Celarain Lighthouse for a panoramic view. To top it off, book yourself on a snorkeling tour of El Cielo and get the chance to swim off the world’s second-biggest reef.

Hit the beach

What Playa del Carmen’s beaches lack in Cancún and Tulum’s scope, they make up for in remarkable accessibility. The planners of this beach town laid out its plan to create easy public access to most parts of its 20-mile(32km)-long coastline.

The busiest beach in Playa del Carmen stretches from the buzzing main square, Parque Fundadores, to 16th Street. But the best strands are in the northern and southern ends of town. Punta Esmeralda is a local’s favorite up north, with a unique cenote right on the beach. Playacar down south is a sparkling quiet stretch that’s part of a private residential community yet open to the public. If you’re feeling intrepid, keep walking south from Playacar and clamber over rock formations to reach the wild and often empty Playa del Pecado.

Watch the sun rise from a SUP

The best time to see Playa del Carmen in its full glory is undoubtedly at sunrise when the calm water is tinted a golden hue, and the beach is clear of sun beds and peddlers. Rise early and go on a sunrise stand-up paddle board session with Aloha Paddle Club on Sixth Street. As you take in views of the town from the water, you’ll see why Playa del Carmen is at its most appealing at the golden hour.

Say “om” on the sand

Playenses, as locals are affectionately known, are very much into fitness and wellness, which is easy to see from the hodgepodge of yoga studios and meditation centers dotted around town. A well-loved joint is Playa Yoga Tribe, a studio housed in a palapa (an open hut with a thatched roof). On offer is a range of yoga sessions, from hatha to meditation, all donation-based.

But nothing beats yoga on the beach: Sunrise Yoga Playa holds sessions on CTM beach at 7am every day. No reservations are needed, but a minimum donation of MX$100 ($4.80) is recommended. Just bring a mat, stretch out and find your center.

Pedal everywhere

Active travelers looking to burn some calories will be thrilled to learn about the citywide bike-sharing system in Playa del Carmen. BiciPlaya has bike stands all around town, with new ones popping up every other week. Anyone, including tourists, can use the system: just download the app on your phone, key in your details and unlock a bike for just MX$98 ($4.80) per day.

Our favorite bike path stretches along Tenth Avenue, along which you can pedal parallel to the beach all the way from Parque Fundadores to Avenida CTM. Just keep an eye out for pedestrians and speedy drivers as they aren’t yet accustomed to the growing numbers of cyclists.

Indulge in Maya chocolate

After all that exercise, it’s fair to say you deserve a treat. Pop into any of Ah Cacao’s locations for a cup of Mexican hot chocolate – along with a deep dive into Mexico’s Maya cacao tradition. Ah Cacao is Playa’s homegrown chocolate cafe chain, specializing in all types of cacao products. The artisans here make their products by hand and only source cacao from responsible farms in Mexico. Plus, the social enterprise has committed to supporting organizations like Plant-for-the-Planet and Conservation International to help farmers grow cacao using sustainable practices.

Admire street art on every corner

With a thriving art scene, Playa del Carmen is a magnet for creative types. In recent years, the beach town has seen an explosion of graffiti art, evident in the mashup of vibrant murals found all over the city. In particular, the northern district of Colosio has become street-art central. Start from 10th St and make your way to 30th St, where massive murals inspired by Frida Kahlo and other Mexican emblems blanket the walls.

Hang out at artsy Le Lotus Rouge

Part art house, part restaurant and part theater, Le Lotus Rouge is Playa’s most unique and creative hangout. This quirky space promises an immersive art experience: every corner is saturated with works designed to stimulate your imagination. Resembling a Parisian cabaret, the stage hosts live performances ranging from aerial acrobatics to traditional Mexican shows on weekends. Free guided visits and shows are offered on Fridays and Saturdays from 7–11pm; donations are appreciated.

Go on an underground adventure

If cenotes are your jam, you’ll rejoice at the chance to unleash your inner Indiana Jones in Río Secreto. You’ll start by biking off-road through a lush jungle while spotting wild iguanas and coatis (a relative of the raccoon), followed by a hike along a 0.6-mile (1km) cavern with a helmet and headlamp in hand while admiring the bats and stalactites that hang from the ceiling. Next, you’ll rappel into the fresh, turquoise water and swim through the grotto – all with a knowledgable guide in the lead. And on a blazing hot or rainy day, Río Secreto makes for a great escape as you’ll spend all day underground.

Dine under jungle trees on 38th St

For dinner, head to the most beautiful street in Playa, Calle 38. Giant banyan trees and hanging roots flank the road close to the water’s edge, creating a rare pocket of greenery in a bustling corner of town. Here, you’ll find several charming restaurants, complete with luscious gardens, running streams, koi ponds and trickling waterfalls.

The most popular of these is La Cueva del Chango, which has earned a loyal following thanks to its quality food and such regional dishes as chicken in poblano mole sauce. Meaning “Monkey’s Cave,” La Cueva del Chango has an impressively lush jungly terrace on which you can dine under the shade of palm trees, next to red bromeliad flowers and flowing streams.

Across the road, Amate 38 charms with even more nature. A small waterfall cascades down to a koi pond surrounded by tall tropical trees. Whether you sit out on the outdoor wooden deck or inside the open-concept dining space, you’ll hearing the sound of cascading water and chirping birds.

Both restaurants are particularly busy on Sunday mornings, as Playa del Carmen is big on breakfast culture.

Take dinner in a cave

Those in search of a unique meal out will be impressed by Alux, a cave restaurant that reinvents the meaning of fine dining, serving up gourmet cuisine in a natural cavern. Its contemporary menu surprises with dishes like pork terrine with pineapple curry and roasted bone marrow glazed in chili. While some parts of the space veer toward artificial (think kitschy neon lights), the overall ambiance offers an unparalleled dining experience.

All guests are led into a tiny air-conditioned wine cellar stocked with expensive bottles from Europe – be sure to ask the price before ordering and don’t feel obliged to take a bottle if it doesn’t fit in your budget. A meal here is pricey, so take your time after your meal to savor the food and wander deep into the thousand-year-old grotto.

People-watch along Fifth Avenue

All roads in Playa del Carmen lead to Fifth Avenue, a boisterous pedestrianized boulevard that doubles as the city’s main drag. Just a block away from the beach, the avenue is flanked by buzzing restaurants, tequila bars and knickknack stores.

Loud, over-the-top and bulging at the seams during high season, this isn’t a place we’d usually recommend travelers to seek out. But once in Playa, you’ll inevitably find yourself meandering along the walkway – and you may as well embrace the tableau. While hassling is common here, street vendors are usually not pushy and will move on when you smile and say no.

If it’s a lively and convivial atmosphere you’re looking for, you’ll find it along Fifth Avenue. It can be entertaining to watch street performers break into dance moves or put up fire-swallowing acts in the evenings. Keep strolling to the end of Fifth Avenue toward Ave CTM and you’ll find thinner crowds, less noise and better-quality restaurants.

Watch traditional dances at Parque Fundadores

Evening time is when Parque Fundadores, the city’s main square, truly comes alive. Expats and tourists convene at the beachfront square as the sun sets and the temperature cools off, snacking on elote (grilled corn smeared with spicy and creamy chili) and sipping fresh coconuts while watching traditional dance shows.

The setting itself is sublime: a 52ft-(15.8m)-high sculpture, aptly named Portal Maya, stands on the beach, setting the scene for a night of live action. Every afternoon starting from 4pm, a dance troupe in elaborate headdresses reenacts ancient Maya dance rituals, complete with chants and conch-shell blowing.

At the same time, the Voladores de Papantla will start swinging off a tall pole and spinning all the way to the ground. Originally from Veracruz, this acrobatic dance was part of a ritual to appease the gods during drought; today, their tradition is a Unesco-designated Intangible Cultural Heritage. These shows are free, but we advise bringing some notes to tip the dancers.

Browse the night market at the Palacio Municipal

A few blocks from the beach stands the Palacio Municipal, a square that looks less attractive than Parque Fundadores but promises a less tourist-oriented experience. In contrast to its beachfront sibling, this park appeals more to playenses, particularly families with little ones and senior citizens who congregate here for a game of dominoes or two.

On weekend evenings, a buzzing market takes over the park’s green patches and concrete paths with artisan products, handicrafts, traditional clothing and unique jewelry made in Playa. If you’re not stuffed, this is the best place in town to sample authentic Mexican street food, especially Yucatán’s pride and joy, tacos de cochinita pibil, spiced pork slow roasted in an underground oven. Flush that down with a passion-fruit frappé and indulge in the locals’ favorite, marquesita (a crunchy crepe filled with condensed milk, chocolate or Edam cheese).

10 Free Things to Do in Playa del Carmen Mexico

Playa del Carmen is known as one of Mexico’s most expensive destinations, but it is possible to have a great time in Playa on a budget.

Admittedly, we did have to dig pretty deep in the four months we spent in Playa to find free activities. That said, our list of free things to do in Playa del Carmen should keep you busy, even if you don’t have much cash to spend.

Looking for a coupon code for your Playa Airbnb? Follow our link to get a $35 credit! (And we get a credit, too).

Go to the beach

In Playa del Carmen (and all of Mexico), all beaches are public and free. If you can get access to the beach, anywhere, you’re allowed to enjoy it. There are as many flavors and stretches of beach in Playa del Carmen as there are types of people who visit. The beautiful people tend to congregate outside Mamitas and Kool beach clubs. No need to pay for a beach chair, just grab your towel and lay down on the beach, and you’re there for free. As you walk north of Mamitas, the beach is just as beautiful, but crowds thin and you’ll see more locals.

Playing on Mamitas Beach

Tip: If you go to Mamita’s beach, you can grab cheap drinks and snacks at the Oxxo convenience store on Calle 28 Norte as you walk toward the beach.

People watch on Quinta Avenida

Quinta, sometimes called 5th Avenue, is the place to see and be seen in Playa. It has the feel of a touristy beach resort during the day, changing to a pretty thriving night scene as the day wears on. The far South end by the pier is a gauntlet of touts and tourist shops that turns to a quieter buzz of restaurants and trinket shops as you head North. Walk far enough North, past Avenida Constituyentes, and you’ll find little Italy, where it’s a bit quieter and prices are a bit lower.

Tip: Food and entertainment are pretty expensive on Quinta Avenida, but you’ll find the cheapest ice cream at McDonalds (70 pesos or about 50 US cents for a cone) and the cheapest eats at Pizza Pazza (between calles 14 and 16) where you can grab a slice starting at 15 pesos (about 1.25 USD). Head west on 10th Avenida or along any of the streets (calles, in Spanish) leading west of Quinta and you’ll find much cheaper eats than on the main drag itself.

Art on Quinta Avenida

Check out Parque Fundadores

Newly renovated, Parque Fundadores is a great starting point for checking out the busiest parts of Playa. Start by looking at the impressive new sculpture overlooking the beach and right next to the pier to Cozumel (Avenida Juarez and 5th Avenida). Be sure not to miss the lovely white stucco church at the corner of the park (Nuestra Senora del Carmen Catholic Church), with windows that look out over the dazzling Caribbean sea. At night peruse the stalls that line the area. Be entertained by the many activities that regularly take over the park and the surrounding streets.

Walk through Playacar

Located at the far South end of Playa, Playacar is a green, tree-lined community that’s as close to an idyllic suburb as you’ll find in the Yucatan. Sidewalks are wide and there’s a lot of ground to cover, making Playacar perfect for a long walk, bicycle ride or a run. Bring water and a snack as convenience stores can be fairly scarce in Playacar. Playacar is also a gated community, but if you look reputable and are prepared to offer a reason why you’re going in, and you shouldn’t have any problem. The easiest entrance for most is on Avenida 10 Sur and Calle 1 Sur, though there are several entrances, including one on the highway (50 Avenida Sur and Paseo Coba).

Get some local flavor on Avenida Juarez

Juarez is busy, vibrant and chock full of cheap places to eat and shop any time of day. Most tourists don’t venture West of 10th avenue and it’s a shame. The touristy Playa del Carmen rapidly fades to a real Mexican town the further West you go. Just use the same common sense precautions you would use walking around any strange city in North America or Europe and you’ll be fine. We’ve walked Juarez all the way from Quinta Avenida to about Avenida 80 with our little kids many times, both during the day and early evening.

Hang out in the park

You’ll find some fun free entertainment in the attractive Parque 28 de Julio (15 Avenida Norte and Calle 10 Norte) most evenings, where local families go to relax after work. Right across from the Palacio Municipal (City Hall) it’s also the location of a giant Christmas tree in winter and hosts a lot of festivals throughout the year. During the day, Parque la Ceiba (on Calle 1a Sur and Diagonal Avenida 60) is worth a visit, with its playgrounds for the kids and quiet (if short) walking trail. There’s even yoga in the mornings, and lots of kids and community activities taking place all the time.

Parque la Ceiba Playa del Carmen

Go to the flea market

Check out the flea market on Sundays on Calle 54 between Avenida 10 and 30. You likely won’t find any priceless treasures here, but it’s busy and fun, and a great way to see the real Playa del Carmen.

Are you an animal lover?

Check out the Playa Animal Rescue’s Spa and Play days every Saturday at 9:00 am. You’ll give the rescued puppies some much needed love and TLC, and help out a good cause. Meet them in the Mega parking lot for transportation to and from the shelter. A cash or donation of dog food is much appreciated.

Feeling athletic?

Check out the Sports Center (Unidad Deportiva) on 10 Avenida and Calle 34. It has tennis courts, basketball courts and a running track. Tennis court fees are around 3 USD an hour, but everything else is free.

Too rainy for the beach?

It won’t you cost a penny to take a walk through two of Playa’s largest malls, Maya Centro (on the highway/50th Avenida and about Calle 28 Sur) and Plaza las Americas (located at Avenida 115 Norte and Calle 75 Norte). The malls are air conditioned, indoor and modern and the food courts abound for cheap food options. If you have kids and 15 pesos (about $1.25 USD) to spend, there’s a miniature train ride in both malls. If you can tease a little cash out of your wallet, both malls also have arcades, modern movie theaters (some movies are in English) and Maya Centro has a bowling alley right beside it.

Got wheels?

If you can manage transportation, there are quite a few fun free day trips out of the city.

Walking onto Tulum Beach

Swim with the sea turtles in Akumal Bay. The beach is free, you can bring your own food and drink. Bring a snorkel to get the most out of swimming with these beauties. With any luck, you’ll also see barracuda and rays. Check out the informative CEA or Centro Ecological Akumal for some great info on sea turtles.

Check out Puerto Morales. This is worth the drive just for the view of the fishing boats and spectacular aquamarine ocean off the pier. There’s a nice central square if you want to relax a bit, and be sure to check out the Alma Libre bookstore for the best selection of English books in the area. Walk North of the pier to access a long, natural beach. As with all beaches in Mexico, it’s a public beach, so just set down your towel and enjoy.

Tip: Don’t be put off by the sea grass. The sea grass is a sign of healthy marine life. Unlike Playa, the beach isn’t manicured in most places, so there might be a little floating sea grass along the waters edge. If so, you might need to take a little hop over the first couple of feet of sea grass and you’ll be in virtually crystal clear water. Bring your snorkel, as we’re seen hawks bill sea turtles offshore and tons of fish, but be careful as there’s sometimes a bit of a current.

Relax on Tulum’s quiet beaches. Tulum is best known for its Mayan ruins, but it also boasts what I think are the nicest beaches in the area, with fine white sand and crystal clear water. For now at least, the best thing about Tulum’s beaches is that they’re relatively quiet, but word’s getting out fast. The best place to access the beach is just off the beach access road close to El Paraiso Beach Club, though you should be able just to walk on through any of the beach resorts. Bring your own drinks and snacks as the next beach clubs be a bit of a hike down the beach.

Looking for a cheap place to stay in Playa? As a family of four, we’ve had the best luck getting good deals on apartment stays through Airbnb.

All You Need To Know About Grocery Shopping In Playa del Carmen

I remember the good ol’ days, when we first arrived in Playa del Carmen. On a cultural mission to test out the waters, (literally: those glistening, turquoise waters… ahhhhh) our family wished to understand and partake in Mexican traditions, to live the beach life for a year or so, and to learn Spanish. I imagined that by immersing myself into the community, I would be completely fluent in a couple of months. Four glorious years have come and gone. Yet, there are still times when my brain feels as though it’s being squeezed in a vice when attempting to converse or remember the Spanish word for kale.

Grocery shopping in those initial months was particularly excruciating! I bought the necessities and prayed that the cashier would say nothing more than ‘Buenos Dias’. The greeting I could handle, but beyond that, he could have spoken Martian and I would have understood as much. Embarrassingly for me, more questions similar to “Tiene usted una tarjeta de puntos?’ (Do you have a points/rewards card?) or ‘Le gustaría donar?’ (Would you like to make a donation?) would leave me with a blank stare and flushed cheeks.

Eventually, after spending a few consecutive months or years here, expats such as myself, are able to commune with the locals just fine, albeit in a rough Spanglish dialect. However, for visitors who are new to the area and to the language, a simple trip to a Mexican supermarket can result in utter frustration. For this reason, we have compiled some helpful suggestions and tools intended to alleviate some of the stress that may occur when navigating through a grocery store in Playa del Carmen.

Where To Find Food Products In Playa del Carmen

The gorgeous variety of vibrant, exotic fruit is as abundant as the ‘fruterias’ (produce markets) in Playa del Carmen. These corner stores often have fresh cut, multi-colored fruit salads for your convenience or delicious blends of freshly squeezed concoctions, such as carrot and orange, beet or vitamin-packed green juices.

Dac on 30 Avenue, between Constituyentes and Calle 20 offers quality fruits, vegetables and an assortment of international grocery products. If you are willing to venture out of the way somewhat, Pasca Deli on Constituyentes between 70 and 75 Avenue in the Ejidal is an excellent source of hard to find international items, baking supplies and quality food products.

Mega – Comercial Mexicana

For more selection, there are several superstores around the city including Walmart, (30 Avenue and Calle 10) Comercial Mexicana (also known as Mega), (30 Avenue and Constituyentes), Chedraui (45 Avenue and Calle 2 Sur) and Soriana (in the Centro Maya Mall on the South end of town or on 30 Avenue, between Calle 38 and 40). Sam’s Club and City Club, also on the South end of town along the Carretera Federal, provide a wide variety of bulk goods, but a membership card (usually $300 – $400 pesos annually) is required.

An Introduction To Mexican Products Worth Trying

Visiting a foreign country presents a terrific opportunity to introduce your taste buds to new flavors. Although supermarkets around the world are beginning to supply consumers with more choices in exotic and imported goods, there are many mysterious Mexican products worth getting acquainted with.

Nopal

This thick, flat, oval shaped pad from a cactus plant is packed with fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. Consuming nopales has shown to boost immune systems, optimize metabolic functions, regulate the digestive system and protect the skin from certain cancers. These firm, green paddles can be diced and added raw to salads or juiced, fried or roasted and added to tacos, scrambled eggs and stews.

Chayote

The Chayote is from the gourd family and provides an adequate source of vitamins including C, riboflavin and thiamin as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc and manganese. Incorporating this low calorie, high fiber veggie can help to control cholesterol and aid in weight management. Julienne this pear-shaped vine vegetable and add it raw to salads and slaws or dice it in stir-fries, soups or casseroles.

Tomatillos

These green tomatoes are roughly the size of apricots and are packed with vitamins and minerals known to reduce the risk of diabetes, increase digestive health, boost the immune system, improve vision health and increase energy levels. The sweeter, citrusy flavor goes well with slow cooked pork and is a staple in tangy, green Mexican salsas.

Jamaica

These dried red leaves from the hibiscus flower are found packaged in clear plastic bags or in bulk bins near the dried chile section of the market. Consuming agua de Jamaica or hibiscus tea has been proven to regulate blood pressure, as well as increase HDL or good cholesterol, which in turn lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Chaya

Known as the Mayan green super food, Chaya has incredible health benefits including aiding with diabetes, acne, digestion, obesity and kidney stones. Studies have shown that chaya contains more protein and calcium than kale, while possessing twice the amount of iron and fiber than spinach. This nutrient-rich leafy vegetable can help to improve memory, vision and also prevent coughs. Simply chop it and add it to scrambled eggs or blend with whole limes, a natural sweetener and water for a refreshing beverage.

Piloncillo

This natural sweetener is derived from the sugar cane and is an unrefined sugar. Since it has not undergone a heavy processing stage, vitamins such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and potassium remain intact. This unprocessed, raw sugar can be shaved and substituted for brown sugar in baking or used as a sweetener in coffee and tea.

Farm Markets, Organic and Vegan Products

Every week, vendors gather to sell local, organic and homemade goods at farmers markets around Playa del Carmen. Organic produce, fresh, homemade baked breads, empanadas, French tarts and pastries, jams, nut butters, bar soaps, lotions, and honey are just some of the products offered at these popular community markets.

On Tuesdays from 11a.m. – 1p.m, Kava Kasa (Calle 22 between 5th and 10th Avenue) hosts the first weekly market. El Papalote (25th Avenue between Calle 30 and 32) is the chosen location on Wednesday afternoons from 1-3p.m. Fridays, the market moves to Coco Beach (pool area of Condo Les Alizes on CTM and Flamingos) from 9-11a.m. Finally, every third Saturday of the month, Parque La Ceiba (Calle 1 Sur and 60th Avenue) opens its door and invites vendors to present their wares from 12-6p.m.

For organic and health food stores, Bio-Natural (10th Avenue between Calle 16 and Constituyentes), Bio Organicos (Calle 26 between 5th and 10th Avenue), Dac (30th Avenue between Constituyentes and Calle 20), Organik Boutique (Plaza Paseo Playacar in Playacar Fase 2) or Frutalesa in Paseo Tulum in Playacar Fase 2 across from the Centro Maya Mall offer the best selection in town.

Ideal Edenic offers delivery service of organic produce to Playa del Carmen. Each week they post a list of available products on their Facebook page and website. For more info or to place an order, call (998) 225-2342.

Grocery Shopping Tips

The supermarkets here offer a high US dollar exchange rate, so save your dollars for groceries!

The bigger chain stores are open from 7:00a.m. – 11:00p.m. Dac and the smaller markets close earlier.

Taxis are readily available outside every main supermarket.

It is customary to tip the people who bag your items. A rule of thumb to follow is $1 peso per bag.

The sale of alcohol products is prohibited after certain hours but the time varies from store to store. Typically between 9a.m. and 5p.m, you can buy alcohol anywhere, except for on Sundays, many places stop selling alcohol at 2:00p.m.

Wednesdays are commonly a much busier day than usual in Playa del Carmen supermarkets due to the specials on produce. If you are not keen to waiting in long lines, you will save yourself some time by choosing to shop on an alternative day.

For fresh herbs such as dill (eneldo) or basil (albahaca), ask the clerks at Dac to retrieve some for you. They almost always carry herbs but they are kept in the cooler in the back of the store.

If you find an imported product that is not easy to find in Playa del Carmen, stock up! Chances are, you will not see the rare item again for months, if ever!

Bargain shopping in Playa del Carmen, the best places to buy designer clothes and local delicacies from Mexico – shops, galleries, boutiques and outlets. You can also find out where the entire streets of shops in Playa del Carmen are located and plan the right routes for shopping and looking for souvenirs from Playa del Carmen.

Playa del Carmen – Shopping

When it comes to Mexico’s 90,087 90,088 resorts on the Caribbean coast, which place comes to mind first? I think Cancun with its chic hotels, relentless nightlife and beautiful beaches. Undoubtedly, Cancun is the leader in this direction, but it is far from being the only resort city ready to welcome tourists into its warm embrace. The second most popular is the provincial coastal town Playa del Carmen (Playa del Carmen) .

The town of Playa del Carmen is located right in the middle of the Riviera Maya or the Mayan Coast. I foresee your question: what kind of animal is this?

Playa del Carmen is a very small coastal town with a sort of almost rural feel. I don’t want to say that it’s quite a village, but a province of pure water – for sure.

Not far from the pier, Main Square (Plaza Mayor) was attached. On it, you can just sit in the shade, relax and watch the performance of the voladores presenting their ritual dance to the attention of curious tourists. With its help, they once tried to appease the god of fertility, but now it is just an attraction for tourists. We saw this performance for the first time in Chochul. The most amazing thing is that the performers do not have any insurance. Despite this, they are not at all afraid to climb a tall pole, and even jump there, performing their mysterious dance. It is said that the Voladores are representatives (or descendants of representatives) of a special tribe of Indians who have absolutely no fear of heights. Well, it looks like it is!

Outside the tourist artery, there are rather boring and unremarkable streets of a small town. Peace and quiet reign on them, in some places it seems that the city has completely died out.

Well, you definitely won’t leave this resort town without souvenirs, because you can hardly walk past the huge souvenir shops, which are full along Fifth Avenue. Everything is there: dishes, jewelry, hats, clothes, magnets, postcards, all kinds of figurines, toys, local alcohol and much more. Mexican shopping is generally a separate topic for conversation.

It is not surprising that ATMs are at every step, there are many temptations))

In the evenings, you can spend hours walking along the avenue from bar to bar, from restaurant to restaurant, or find a cozy place on the Caribbean coast and watch a fire show. Many people say that the nightlife in Playa del Carmen is even cooler than in Cancun. Who will check on personal experience, write if this is so))

By the way, drinking alcohol on the streets is prohibited. However, if you are tipsy, but in complete control of yourself, the police will not bother you. But if you go with a bottle of beer (or even tequila) in your hands and behave inappropriately, you can be arrested. After all, the police not only protect, but sometimes punish. So take it easy 🙂

Playa del Carmen city map

Personally, it seemed to me that the prices in Playa are not too different from the prices in Cancun. Of course, I do not take into account the Hotelier Zone and five-star hotels, since we are budget travelers and evaluate the price level from our bell tower. You can live cheaply both there and there. Below you will see that in both cities you can find budget accommodation. Entertainment, food, shopping cost about the same. Although, it seemed that in Cancun City it was much easier to find, for example, a bullfighting comida.

A ceramic multi-colored shard, for example, will be yours for $15, a traditional small rug or bedspread for $5, a simple hat of not the best quality for $20, a local national doll for $5-15 and more, alcoholic beverages (I suspect not the most first-class) – for 20-30 dollars and more.

Away from the center you can find tacos (one taco costs about 10 pesos). There are many pizzerias in the city, where a slice of pizza will be given to you for 25-35 pesos. The Subway Cola and Cookie Sandwich is yours for 40 pesos. A burrito, despite the fact that it is difficult to call it food, costs about 60-70 pesos.

Prices for food, hygiene products and other small things in supermarkets (Chedraui, Mega) in Playa del Carmen are completely identical to those in Cancun. The situation is the same with stores like OXXO. Extra and others. I painstakingly wrote down all the figures in a note about prices in Cancun.

If you want to relax, for $18, you will be happy to get an hour-long massage session. It is offered almost everywhere in Playa, especially on the coast.

This time we didn’t walk around the city to find out about specific budget accommodation options, as we did in Cancun, having compiled a whole list of cheap hotel options.

First: cheap hotels and hostels around the bus station or in the interior of the city (along Fifth Avenue, I think you can also find sane options). Rooms can be found on the spot, leaving luggage in the luggage room at the bus station, or booked through Booking.com, or on HotelLook (by the way, HotelLook also searches for Booking).

Third: luxury hotels along and around Fifth Avenue.

all Airbnb properties across Mexico →

For example: we saw an ad about renting an apartment for 8,000 pesos per month (see the current peso exchange rate here). Judging by the photo, it was a chic option, which means it is logical to assume that something simpler will cost less. Prices are rarely indicated in ads, so you have to call them.

Map with hotels in Playa del Carmen

We rented the Casa Naranja – Happiness Apartment in advance on the already mentioned Airbnb website. They paid 255 pesos per day for a compact apartment. I’ll make a reservation right away that we were in Playa out of season (in summer), so there were a lot of free housing, and prices didn’t bite. In winter, the situation is completely different (it is better to book accommodation in advance, and for a couple of months, or even earlier).

Location: in a straight line from our house to Fifth Avenue about 500 meters, to the nearest beach 800 meters. There is a MEGA supermarket four hundred meters away, there are small shops and cafes nearby. In one block there is a laundry. The bus station is about 1.5 km if you take the shortest route. It is not dangerous to walk in the evenings, they say that Playa is generally a very safe town.

Address: Calle 28, between 20th and 25th avenues, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

See section 9 for the best time to visit PLAYA DEL CARMEN0087 Riviera Mayan weather.

The town of PLAYA DEL CARMEN also owes its popularity among tourists to 5 Avenue (5 Avenida). What could be more pleasant than a walk on a warm evening along the well-groomed pedestrian 5th Avenue , for example, along Heart Street (pictured below).

At 5 Avenue in PLAYA DEL CARMEN, excellent shopping in numerous shops, shops and small galleries with the work of local artists and jewelers, as well as an amazing selection of restaurants for every taste with good European and Mexican cuisine, where live music from different times is played in the evenings and styles. Of course, mariachis, wandering musicians, bring national color to the atmosphere of PLAYA DEL CARMEN.

The shops at 5 Ave. PLAYA DEL CARMEN have a large selection of silver and gold items with precious and semi-precious stones, Mexican textiles with traditional Indian embroidery; interior items in ethnic style, paintings by local artists, discs with Latin American music of all kinds.

In PLAYA DEL CARMEN there are many small family workshops where silver jewelry is created.

Within the city on 30Avenida there are 2 hypermarkets Mega, Wallmart, from 5th Avenue you can walk there in 10 minutes at a leisurely pace. The rest of the hypermarkets are located on the other side of the Carretera Federal highway, and for the trip you will have to take a taxi (from the center of PLAYA DEL CARMEN 50 – 70 pesos, which translates into rubles 130-180 rubles).

See map PLAYA DEL CARMEN

Casa del Agua (5 Avenida y Calle 2) The owners of this restaurant are of Mexican-German origin, and therefore Chef Johanness Schute’s dishes combine European traditions with Caribbean ones.

At Blue Lobster, on a beautiful outdoor terrace, you can enjoy grilled lobster, which is sold by weight, as well as shrimp and steak dishes.

The Mosqito Blue restaurant is located in the hotel of the same name, this restaurant is easily recognizable by the exceptionally light colors in the design that stand out from the general background. A whole team of Italian chefs work here, who prepare Mediterranean cuisine well, using ingredients that are traditional for Mexican Caribbean cuisine. There is a good selection of wines and cocktails.

Any resort town offers vacationers a whole range of entertainment. Most often it is very standard: beaches, shopping, restaurants, clubs, bars, street performances, excursions. Playa del Carmen is no exception.

We have already talked about shopping and walking around the city. There were also on the beaches of Playa. Let’s look behind the curtain and see the nightlife of a provincial town. Andriusiks and I are not fans of all these noisy events, so we limited ourselves only to a look from the side))

In the evenings, Playa del Carmen has a second wind! The city lights up millions of lights, starts making hundreds of sounds and becomes completely different.

So, we wait for darkness, put on the most elegant shorts and go to the epicenter of events.

“Quinta Avenida” is the most favorite street for tourists not only during the day but also at night. Perhaps most of the vacationers just idly wander along the avenue with the aim of seeing people and showing themselves.

Cafes and restaurants

Here you will find European cuisine, Mexican, and Chinese – any whim for your money.

Blue Lobster – you will be offered grilled seafood, steak and all this accompanied by live music.

Da Gabi Ristorante – Italian cuisine, which means pizza, fettuccine, salads and other tasty treats, as well as coffee and desserts.

Don Emilione’s – Mexican and Italian cuisine, vegetarian menu, seafood, and even jazz music is included.

Java Joe’s – you should go here for good coffee, although food is also on the menu.

Karen’s Grill & Pizzeria – everything on the grill (meat, seafood), as well as great pizza and live music. Mmm, something to eat)))

Limones – French cuisine and all kinds of international food. Romantic place with live music.

Las Mananitas is a small traditional Mexican restaurant.

Sports bars

There are a couple of similar establishments on Fifth Avenue:

Clubs, bars, discos

Here is a small list of clubs where you can dance from the heart:

And that’s not all, either! Find the rest yourself!

Tired? Walked up? Eating, drinking, dancing? You will be carefully taken to your hotel, apartment, condo or wherever you are staying. You won’t have to look for a taxi for a long time, it will find you by itself!

Bored in Playa del Carmen? Go to Cancun. Suddenly you will like it there so much that you will even move to the Hotelier Zone or Cancun City. And the beaches of Cancun are no worse, I would even say several times better!

Since we are talking about all kinds of entertainment, I will say a few words about excursions and one-day tours.

For those who want to see, for example, the pyramids of Chichen Itza, Koba, Ek-Balam, Tulum, but do not want to overpay agencies, I recommend visiting these places on your own. In fact, we always do this. There is no difficulty in this: buses depart daily in all these directions from the Central Bus Station in Playa del Carmen, there are collective (minibuses) that go to Tulum and Cancun, which can be found at the intersection of Av.20 and Calle2. I am sure that many vacationers in Playa will want to see the magnificent beaches of Cancun or Tulum, or magnificent cenotes. If so, then the procedure is the same – we take the bus or collectively and go.

Have fun in Playa del Carmen, dear readers!

Huge temples and complex architecture, as well as their achievements, indicate that it was a great and advanced civilization. The period of civilization here can be divided into three main parts: the civilization of the Mayan tribe, the conquest of land by Spain and the modern history of the development of the city as part of the municipality of Solidaridada in the state of Quintana Roo.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Interesting historical facts: <ul> <li> until the second half of the 80s the village was inhabited mainly by fishermen and artists; </li> <li> its population in those years did not exceed one and a half thousand; </li> <li> in the twentieth century, agriculture and the processing of rubber wood were actively developed; </li> <li> at the end of the 20th century, active interaction began with the island due to the connection with other islands and the mainland by ferry; </li> <li> ferry service opened a new page in the history of Playa del Carmen – the active development of tourism. </li> </ul> <h4> Playa del Carmen and the island of Cozumel </h4> Playa del Carmen is located very close to the island of Cozumel. And this island is the largest and most attractive pearl of the Yucatan Peninsula. Ancient Shaman-Ha, when looking at the map of the area, looks like a previous stop in front of marvelous Cozumel, considered a holy island for the Mayan tribe. It was on it that the first ships of the Spanish invaders moored.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Before the Spanish conquistadors arrived in these parts, this island had a different name, which was given to it by the ancient inhabitants of the Mayan tribe. At the dawn of mankind, the island was called Shaman-Kha. Today its name is translated as “Island of Swallows”. The local nature is so unique and beyond human imagination, it becomes immediately clear why the inhabitants of the island had such a peculiar idea of life. The quirkiness of rocks, the bright colors of sunsets and sunrises over the turquoise expanse of the sea, majestic animals and plants, deep natural wells that go deep into the bowels of a long cave system – awed the locals. They imagined equally powerful and unusual gods, realizing that all this could not have arisen as a result of chance. Cenotes Playa del Carmen The Mayan tribe deeply feared their deities and exalted them. Mountains, caves and an underwater river evoked a feeling of awe, which is why some of the rituals of the tribe arose to this day, huge statues of idols remind them of them.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h4> Eagle and tails in Playa del Carmen </h4> All those who love to travel and get to know the world better, want to learn more about different countries, cities or cultures. Before going on vacation, tourists think over and choose a route for travel and, of course, get acquainted with it thanks to the pioneers who told all the features and charms of a particular place to stay. One of those who are ready to acquaint tourists with the fabulous Playa del Carmen was the program “Eagle and Tails”. From the experience of TV presenters, you can learn a lot of useful information about how to get to the island, how to spend time on a limited budget, and if you live in a big way, what entertainment lovers of active, extreme recreation or recreation with children can choose for themselves. <h3> Attractions Playa del Carmen </h3> The main attractions of the island are its flora, fauna, unique natural landscapes and the underwater world. In order not to lose sight of the main thing, you should familiarize yourself with the TOP-10 must-see places: <ul> <li> Shkaret Park; </li> <li> shark dives; </li> <li> archeological tours; </li> <li> sightseeing tours; </li> <li> Tequila Academy; </li> <li> boat tours; </li> <li> SPA centers; </li> <li> dives and excursions in cenotes, grottoes and caves; </li> <li> surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing; </li> <li> ziplines and rope towns.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </li> </ul> <h3> Diving in Playa </h3> Diving with turtles Diving in Playa del Carmen is striking in its diversity. Both experienced divers and beginners can take part here. Since it is here that a large reef passes, connecting Mexico and America, the variety of underwater inhabitants is breathtaking. On the beaches, you can dive with your own equipment or with rented equipment to meet a whole family of sea turtles. They peacefully “graze” in grassy meadows of succulent seaweed. You don’t have to know how to scuba dive to enjoy this, you can just use a mask and snorkel. Cenote diving is a separate type of diving. These are cave wells or dips in the soil, they are numerous gates to the realm of one of the longest underground rivers. The cave system of the Yucatan Peninsula is 350 km, and is the second largest. The river has the name Sak-Aktun, during the life of the Mayan tribe, its waters were considered sacred, and the wells themselves were the gates to the kingdom of the dead.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> That is why here, sacrifices were massively made, and lifeless bodies were thrown into the water. Today, this legendary place, although it has lost the meaning that the ancient peoples put into their beliefs, still inspires awe, and in some cases even fear. Only holders of scuba diving certificates can travel through the underwater labyrinth, accompanied by experienced instructors who speak Mexican, English and Russian. Some corridors in the caves are not explored and diving into them can be dangerous, as warning signs warn about. But, despite all their danger and mystery, cenotes leave the most impressive impact on tourists who come to visit the peninsula. Mineral formations – stalactites, stalagmites and impressive columns create a unique underwater museum with a prehistoric story of the history of these places. The unique cenote Zakaton is located deep in the jungle, its bottom has not been explored, since the scuba divers who plunged to 282 meters did not reach it. For all those who do not have a sufficient level of training, there is a wonderful opportunity to touch the underwater secrets by visiting Dos Ojos cenote.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The name of this cenote is translated as “two eyes” and consists of two entrances, respectively. The first cenote is a huge pool of crystal clear water and a variety of natural mineral formations, which can be perfectly seen due to the incoming daylight. Snorkelling dives will help you explore the bottom of the cave for a long time. The second eye is called Bat Cave. The bat cave consists of several interconnected corridors, some of which are filled with water, while others are not, so the bats settled in one of them, which became the owners of this dungeon. <h3> Parks </h3> Xcaret Park is an eco-themed park, which is a unique garden with amazing natural landscape, entertainment and many rare birds and bizarre jungle inhabitants. The following activities are available to tourists: <ul> <li> beach and bay for a comfortable pastime; </li> <li> diving in cenotes and with dolphins; </li> <li> restaurants and cafes; </li> <li> seabed walks; </li> <li> raft tours; </li> <li> 80-meter Scenics tower, allowing you to view the surroundings from a bird’s eye view; </li> <li> Macaw reserve; </li> <li> ancient Mayan cemetery.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </li> </ul> This list reflects only the main and most popular attractions of the eco-park, the rest of its features can be revealed only by the most daring and inquisitive travelers. <h3> The beaches of Playa del Carmen </h3> The beaches of Playa del Carmen In Playa del Carmen, the beaches cover the entire coast. The main beach is the easiest to get to, since it is here that ferries arrive and depart for Cozumel, its name is Principal. The rest of the beaches are located behind it, and stretch along the northern part of the island. Their names are similar to the names of restaurants and comfortable hotels: <ul> <li> Toucan; </li> <li> Mamitas; </li> <li> Shangri-La; </li> <li> Subul; </li> <li> Coco Beach. </li> </ul> The beaches offer a variety of entertainment and sports activities. For example, you can use the services of a massage, ride a jet ski or wakeboard – surfboards with a motor. If vacationers want to go snorkeling, then for this it is better to go on a yacht or boat to the open sea, dive into cenotes or take a ferry to the neighboring islands, since the underwater world of Playadel Carmen will give less impressive emotions than the underwater world of neighboring islands.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h3> Shopping in Playa del Carmen </h3> Evening shopping in Playa del Carmen Despite its small size, Playa del Carmen has two large shopping centers with cinemas and many boutiques with branded goods from world famous manufacturers. In addition to large shops, here you can find food markets, souvenir shops and small shops where you can buy basic necessities and other goods.

Everyone here will receive and will definitely take with them a piece of a beautiful sunny and so similar to a paradise place. <h2> Important questions and answers about real estate in Mexico </h2> <h5> What are the features of the Mexican real estate market compared to European countries more familiar to residents of the CIS? </h5> There is no main, pronounced feature on the market. There are nuances, as in every country. For example, foreigners are prohibited from owning real estate in the 50 km border zone and on the sea coast, but there is a loophole in the law that allows you to acquire real estate through the formation of a company or banking trust (fideicomiso).<img loading='lazy' src='' /> That is, in order to purchase land, a house or an apartment, a foreigner must either establish a Mexican company that will own this property or contact one of the banks offering a trust service. Here is a brief description of how the registration takes place – https://bit.ly/2MAwJIm Another feature is the low cost of registration – 5-7% and low taxes – about 0.01-0.5% per year <h5> Geography of Mexico and real estate – what are the patterns, what are the popular locations, what affects the cost of housing? </h5> There are many popular places and it all depends on the purpose of the purchase. Since the Riviera Maya is the most visited region of the country, here most often they buy profitable real estate, which they give to management or rent out themselves. (More than sixteen million tourists in 2017) Very popular capital and Pacific coast, but more for locals and citizens of Canada and the US. <h5> What is the situation with the primary and secondary market, what is the range of prices? In favor of which options do you recommend to pay attention? </h5> The primary market is booming.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> A lot of housing is being built – from very budgetary – 25-90 thousand dollars for an apartment or house, to premium – in the region of 1.5-3 million dollars for a villa, apartment or penthouse on the first line. The area of such housing will be in the region of five hundred square meters with large terraces, it will be fully furnished. The bulk of foreigners are oriented towards buying middle-class housing – 120-350 thousand dollars. Usually these are small condominiums within walking distance to the sea, or even with a sea view. Such objects are in demand among tourists who for some reason prefer individual houses or apartments to hotels. A big disadvantage of primary housing is some delay in the commissioning and obtaining of escritura – a certificate of ownership. There are condominiums that do not issue certificates to the owners for quite a long time. However, this does not prevent the owners from living on their own or renting this property to tourists. All communications are connected in these condominiums, the infrastructure is organized and they are no different from those put into operation.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The secondary market is in a rather disorganized state. There is no single database of objects, as, for example, in the USA, there is no responsibility for activities without a license for realtors (but they are already starting to tighten a little). But this market is interesting in that offers often appear with a discount of ten to forty percent. But, if when buying a primary property, you can get by with a notary and a company lawyer who will prepare and execute all the documents and you can do everything yourself, then when buying a secondary property, you need a realtor who can ensure the security of the transaction, check the object for encumbrance, ownership, collateral, etc. Of course, there are also fraudulent schemes, but this is a topic for a separate post and you should always consult a lawyer. In any case, it’s best not to try it yourself. The difference in the cost of primary and secondary housing tends to be in favor of primary housing when it comes to apartments, since at the construction or design stage the price will be 20-30 percent lower than after the house is put into operation.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> The situation with houses is somewhat similar, but the majority of houses on the secondary market are cheaper than new ones. There is no clear answer for which client Mexico. There are areas where real estate is expensive and infrastructure is very developed: golf courses, yacht clubs, clinics, schools, supermarkets. But in the same areas there is real estate of an average price level, but already a little further from the sea (five to ten minutes on foot). <h5> For H1 2018, where the price increase in Mexico was 9.9%. How noticeable is the growth of the cent in reality, is it there? </h5> Yes, it exists and is noticeable. There is a building boom in the country. Annual population growth – more than 1.6 million people + tourism growth and the flow of immigrants from richer countries (USA, Canada, Europe) <h5> There is an established opinion that living and relaxing in Latin America is dangerous. </h5> <h5> How true is this and what aspects are important to control when buying real estate by foreigners? </h5> Of course, there are dangerous places where it is better not to go.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> There are robberies, thefts and murders, but all this is not as massive as the media writes. By following the basic safety rules, you can absolutely not be afraid of anything. This is especially true for tourist areas. When buying real estate, a good lawyer and realtor is important, who will defend the interests of not only the seller, since the seller pays a commission, but also the buyer. <h5> When did foreign buyers flood into Mexico? What was it due to? </h5> Foreigners have always been interested in Mexico. There are a lot of citizens of the USA, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and many other countries here. There are foreigners living here for more than twenty years. The Russians “discovered” Mexico for themselves 5-7 years ago. Of course, they were here before, but they started to travel en masse for the last five years. Now there are too many of them. Which potential buyer would make sense to choose Mexico? Based on experience, we see three categories of buyers: <ol> <li> There is a lot of money and a person wants to save or diversify it.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> These are people who buy premium housing. </li> <li> People who have free small funds and are looking for stable markets for investments. This category is looking at housing worth 120-250 thousand dollars with a yield of 6-12% per annum. </li> <li> People who move to Mexico to live with little money, buying something up to a hundred thousand dollars. They are trying to build a business or earn some passive income from their home country or have their own business or job online </li> </ol> <h5> What are real estate prices in Mexico right now? What options are most often offered to buyers? What is the best choice? </h5> Prices for new real estate in the middle price segment – 1500-2500 dollars per square meter. The premium segment has a ceiling, but it is difficult to clearly identify it. A villa on the beach of 700-800 square meters can cost 3-8 million dollars, and if the first line, but not the beach, but a rocky coast or a marina for yachts and a smaller house, then you can fit in a million and a half.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In the budget segment, prices start at $600-800 per meter. First of all, you need to understand what is the purpose of the purchase, what are the expectations, budget, quality of construction, house or apartment. This is the first thing we ask the client. When buying a primary home, there will be costs for the purchase of furniture and other necessary things, since when buying a secondary housing, everything can almost certainly be included in the price, up to linen and dishes. New ones are rented only with a kitchen, plumbing and carpentry. A small percentage of apartments are turnkey. If the task is to buy and immediately receive income, then the secondary housing. If the task is to buy cheaper, then the primary property is at the construction stage, but you have to wait. You can, of course, buy cheaper on the secondary market, but then you need to have a trusted realtor to monitor discount options, and then make a decision very quickly. <h2> Mexican robbery – Mir – Kommersant </h2> Next week, the list of countries with which Russia has resumed direct flights will be replenished with several directions at once.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> For tourists, Mexico is of the greatest interest: it is expected that aircraft from the Russian Federation will fly three times a week to the resort of Cancun located on the Caribbean coast. Some tourists will stay there, others will be distributed between the nearby cities of Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The latter is especially popular among affluent travelers – the number of luxury hotels and expensive restaurants in the city, long favored by show business stars and Instagram influencers, is off the charts. Kommersant correspondent who visited Tulum Pavel Tarasenko made sure by personal example that paradise also has a downside. Tourists walking on the beach in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo Photo: Emilio Espejel / AP Tourists walking on the beach in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo Photo: Emilio Espejel / AP Tulum Central Street lively, stylish and seemingly completely safe.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Mid-day, that is, the time when many tourists either cool off in the sea or wait out the heat in trendy cafes and restaurants with organic, gluten-free and vegetarian food. Passing exactly in this place and at this time, the Kommersant correspondent suddenly heard screams and saw people jumping up from outdoor tables in a nearby cafe. Then the eye fell on the pistols in the hands of two young men of inconspicuous appearance: they pointed weapons at the tourists, clearly demanding to give everything they had with them. The instinct of self-preservation overcame the desire to find out how the case ended: it was decided to turn around and run around the corner where the pizzeria was located. The Italian Francesco, the owner of the establishment, began to get nervous when he heard about what had happened a few dozen meters away: he urgently closed all the doors and moved away from them. But he didn’t look surprised. “This is the third such case in two weeks. And everything is on that street,” he stated.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> <h3> Eco-chic </h3> Mexico’s Caribbean coast is truly a paradise. For the most part, it is. The most popular resort among Russians, where liners were actively flying from the Russian Federation before the start of the pandemic (and now again, as expected, they will fly three times a week) is Cancun. Wide white beaches with neon-blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, high-rise hotels, endless parties in nightclubs – this is Cancun. Playa del Carmen is 70 km away: more family, more “Mexican” and no less attractive resort. And finally, another 60 km away is the pearl of the coast, the city of Tulum. This place was chosen by the ancient Maya. The city, whose ruins are located not far from the modern one, was of strategic importance: it was there that the sea and land trade routes from Central Mexico and Central America converged. It began to develop in the XIII century, and three centuries later – after the first contacts of the Maya with the Spaniards – it began to decline. Tulum began to experience a second life as an important international attraction in the 1970s, when the Mexican authorities decided to develop a jungle-covered area near the sea – about 4 km from the modern city.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> A clear division into three parts is still preserved: Tulum is a ruin, a modern city and a resort area on the coast separated from it by mangroves.

Tulum has become a center of attraction for lovers of spiritual practices, meditation, yoga and light drugs, who were looking not for comfort, but for unity with nature. The ideal weather, the abundance of cheap fruit, and the atmosphere of brotherhood that reigned in Tulum made it possible not to think too much about lack of money and other material issues. But gradually Tulum changed, as did those who once identified themselves as hippies. Some settled in the city, opening cafes and shops imbued with the same spirit of the 1960s and 1970s. Others – and most of them – have forgotten about their past and now, if they come to Tulum, it is not to live in tents on the seashore.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Today, this city – the epitome of glamor and style – only flirts with its past. For example, one of the most famous hotels in the city, and throughout Mexico – Azulik – has built its popularity on the concept of sustainability and connection with nature. The rooms do not have light, internet, air conditioning and showers (instead of it there are bathrooms with warm water from a cenote cave). Mimicking tree houses, the hotel is considered one of the most impressive examples of eco-architecture in the world. The cost of a room in it starts from about $680 per night and goes up to $10.4 thousand. And there are plenty of hotels of this price range (as well as restaurants that rival those of the best establishments in New York or London) on the coast of Tulum. So it is not surprising that the stars fell in love with this city: among others, Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Richard Gere, Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, Sting, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Russian “celebrities” are not far behind: for example, during the May holidays, Ksenia Sobchak lived in Casa Malca, the former Tulum mansion of the drug lord Pablo Escobar, and now a luxury hotel. And, it seems, she was completely satisfied, writing on Instagram: “Tulum conquered me – a winter and much more vigorous alternative to the Maldives has been found.” Many people like it so much that they think about buying real estate. Sellers of apartments and villas in the eco-chic style, promising a “harmonious combination of virgin nature with comfort and luxury,” lure with slogans about buying a “piece of paradise.” There are still many such pieces: work is going on somewhere, but many buildings located along the dusty deserted roads (especially along the new highway between the city and the hotel zone) seem uninhabited and long abandoned. But realtors reassure: the Tulum real estate market is still in its infancy, and now is the time to join the millionaires who have chosen Tulum.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Moreover, in 2023, the city will have to open its own airport, and getting there will become much more convenient: the need for an intermediate stop in Cancun will disappear. <h3> Reports from the front </h3> Meanwhile, there is something that realtors prefer not to talk about. But the abundance of security forces in full gear, who constantly patrol the streets of Tulum, clearly speaks for itself. Usually it is a jeep with an open body, in which sit up to six police officers armed with machine guns, dressed in bulletproof vests, helmets and black masks. Often, a National Guard car rides in conjunction with a police jeep. Visible on the streets and the military. Rafael Barajas Valenzuela, a human rights activist, is not afraid to talk about the situation in the city. He founded and directs the Tulum Civic Observatory, which counters “abuse of power by the police and officials” and also records various kinds of human rights violations. “We have a long-standing fear of the authorities.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> When people see a police patrol, they hide. Because we are talking about a repressive state that maintains order due to the fact that people are afraid and silent,” he admits. Everything ended well – the police were proven guilty in court. But it was then that Rafael Barajas Valenzuela fully realized that “this can happen to anyone: both locals and tourists.” And I decided to fight. In October 2020, he organized a march to the police headquarters and presented a letter to the local leadership with suggestions for improving the work of the police. For example, it was proposed to give civil society the right to vote in the appointment of police officers, as well as to begin the widespread use of video cameras by law enforcement officers, which would record everything that happens. “There is still no answer. Our letter was simply thrown into the wastebasket,” the human rights activist said. And he continued: “That is why cases like the murder of Victoria Salazar continue to occur in Tulum.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> ” Rosibel Emerita Arrias speaks to the press. In March, her daughter Victoria Salazar was killed by police during her arrest. In March, her daughter Victoria Salazar was killed by police during her arrest. On March 28 this year, a patrol detained a 36-year-old migrant from El Salvador, Victoria Esperanza Salazar. The policemen threw her to the pavement and applied a choke hold. A few minutes later the woman died. The police officers – three men and one woman – were suspended from service, and a criminal case was opened against them. But the Mexicans considered such a reaction insufficient. The case of Victoria Salazar was immediately compared with the no less resonant murder in the United States of African American George Floyd in 2020: then the policeman also used a chokehold, after which the detainee died. As in the United States, demonstrations took place in Mexico, the participants of which demanded that the police stop violence, as well as get rid of “misogyny and xenophobia.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> ” Until now, there are graffiti in Tulum demanding justice in the name of Victoria Salazar and other victims of violence.

There were only nine homicides in 2015, so there was a 544% increase over that period. Other statistics are deteriorating as well. Thus, the number of recorded drug crimes for the year increased by 783% – from 6 in 2019year to 53 in 2020. You can follow the chronicle of the crime epidemic in expat groups on social networks. Two of the most popular topics in groups about Tulum are announcements of parties and performances by world-famous DJs, as well as reports of shootings. “Shots are heard at a supermarket in the La Veleta area, a woman is injured, be careful,” reads, for example, in a post dated May 17. Users write in the comments that such “reports from the front” are received daily from Tulum, and the threat of a repeat of the fate of Acapulco looms over the city. In the middle of the last century, the fashionable resort was popular among millionaires and American stars (for example, Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra loved to relax there), but then it was captured by gangs and cartels, so now it is considered a money laundering center and is consistently ranked among the most criminogenic cities peace.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Here are a few more episodes that were actively discussed on Facebook by foreigners who work remotely from Tulum and tourists. On May 14, the topic was shooting next to the very famous Azulik Hotel: two people in a white Mercedes were shot dead by unknown people. “They worked in the bar of another hotel, Be Tulum, and, according to our information, were not involved in the drug trade in any way. It seems that they were confused with someone, ”Rafael Barajas Valenzuela assured the Kommersant correspondent. Two days before, in front of numerous tourists, also in the hotel area, a man on a motorcycle was shot by unknown persons, whose identity was not disclosed in the media. Initially, he was wounded, but a few minutes later the attackers returned and fired control shots. And on the night of 9May, a Uruguayan citizen was shot dead in Aldea Zama, a protected area where hotels and private villas are located.

We have permanently closed the doors of our bars and restaurants in Tulum and have decided to go out of business as working conditions have unfortunately become extremely inconvenient due to lack of public safety,” they said in a joint statement. Prior to this, the local Hoteliers Association called for emergency measures, calling the security situation a key problem in Tulum. 2021 looks set to break all records of 2020. Tulum has moved into second place on the list of the country’s most crime-prone tourist destinations, according to Mexican authorities’ estimates released last Sunday. For the period from April 2020 to March 2021, there were 133.7 murders per 100,000 people. Even in Acapulco, the figure was 44.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> 5. The situation is worse than in Tulum only in the city of Tecate (Baja California State), located right on the border with the United States: there were 159 people per 100,000 people during the reporting period..6 kills. Tulum Mayor Victor Mas Tah, who hopes to be re-elected on June 6, admitted on May 18 that insecurity is “the cancer that has struck Mexico.” At the same time, he claims that the authorities are “taking decisive action to combat” this disease, and also promises to “continue to work in the name of peace and harmony” in Tulum. <h3> Fear despite </h3> Workers preparing construction work near Punta Piedra 9 beach0171 Photo: Israel Leal / Reuters Workers prepare construction work near Punta Piedra Beach Photo: Israel Leal / Reuters According to Rafael Barajas Valenzuela, the first reason for everything that happens in Tulum is the corruption of officials: “They give jobs, including in the police, to the right people, although they do not have the proper qualifications.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Or, for example, they give permission to build or open restaurants to those who are not going to comply with environmental regulations and only develop “toxic tourism” that does not pay attention to problems like water pollution, the destruction of mangroves and coral reefs. Now in the city 9thousand hotel rooms, and by the end of the year another 1 thousand rooms should be added. In addition, activists are particularly concerned about the construction of roads, designed to increase the transport accessibility of the resort area: they are sure that the project will destroy the unique ecosystem. The second cited reason for the worsening situation in Tulum is the authorities’ alleged ties to organized crime. “It is no coincidence that for many years there have been no arrests of important people from the cartels, the police avoid confrontation with them. They take only small sellers of drugs,” admits Mr. Barajas Valenzuela. Earlier, Reporte Indigo, citing anonymous sources in Tulum, wrote that both the mayor Victor Mas Tah and his rival in the upcoming elections, the former head of the city, Marciano Dzul Caamal, are connected with two rival criminal gangs involved in drug trafficking.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> According to authorities in the state of Quintana Roo, where Tulum is located, six criminal groups operate in the city, including the powerful Jalisco New Generation, Old School Zetas and Sinaloa cartels. Recently, the struggle between them for control of Tulum, where a significant part of the beach parties and jungle raves are interested in drugs, has become especially fierce. Finally, the third reason for everything that is happening, according to Rafael Barajas Valenzuela, is the unwillingness of the authorities to listen to civil society. “Usually, the role of the fifth power is played by the media. But in our country, their history is the history of 100 years of betrayal and disinformation,” he says. And he adds: “It is vital for Mexico to create new independent structures that would record offenses and monitor the observance of human rights.” Kommersant’s interlocutor is optimistic, assuring that sooner or later a dialogue with the authorities will be established, and his initiative will receive federal support.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> In the meantime, Mr. Barajas Valenzuela continues to fight, although he answers yes to the question of whether he is afraid. “Yes, I’m afraid. But we are faced with a choice: to be afraid and to remain silent, or to help others, ”said the interlocutor of Kommersant. According to various international organizations, between 19 and 24 human rights activists were killed in Mexico last year. “Violence against them (as well as against journalists) is rarely investigated or prosecuted,” Human Rights Watch notes, in particular, calling Mexico “one of the most dangerous countries for human rights defenders in the world.” Some, however, fall into a different category: according to Amnesty International’s annual report, almost 7,000 people were reported missing in Mexico in 2020, up from 64,000 in a decade. <h4> Photo gallery </h4> Previous photo Joaquin Guzman was born into a poor farming family in 1957.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Studying at school did not work out for the boy, so Guzman traded oranges and helped his father produce and sell marijuana.

If you disappeared or you were killed, people will know about it.” He is sure that “new martyrs are the last thing the corrupt authorities of Tulum need”: “It is not profitable for them, because these are just unnecessary problems.” After meeting with the human rights activist, we leave the restaurant and see how a tow truck, accompanied by a police jeep with flashing lights on, is carrying the remains of the car – its burnt skeleton. The fact that the fire was accidental is now hard to believe. <h2> Not Found (#404) </h2> Not Found (#404) <h3> Whoops…something went wrong! </h3> Sorry, we did not find the page you are looking for Tours Hotels Railway Tickets Cities Yachting Expeditions Dog sled tours Snowmobile tours Quad tours Walking tours Alloys Bike Tours Climbing Ski tours Diving and snorkeling Jeep tours Surfing and SUP tours Combined tours Horse tours Cruises Excursion tours Ski trips Helicopter tours Fishing tours Fitness and yoga tours Canyoning Railway tours <h3> Are you looking for one of the sections below? </h3> <h4> Tours </h4> <h4> Hotels </h4> <h4> Railway Tickets </h4> <h4> Routes </h4> <h4> Attractions </h4> We have made a selection of interesting articles for you! <h3> Leave a review </h3> 12345 <h3> Thank you very much 🙂 </h3> Your feedback is very important to us and will be posted on the service as soon as possible.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-2812" class="post-2812 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miscellaneous"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/miscellaneous/canary-island-wines-seven-wines-you-need-to-try-from-the-canary-islands.html">Canary island wines: Seven Wines You Need to Try From the Canary Islands</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: October 12, 2022 в 10:00 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/miscellaneous" rel="category tag">Miscellaneous</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>Spain – Canary islands | wein.plus Wine Regions</h2> In this section you will find currently 155,639 Wines and 24,337 Producers, including 2,520 classified producers.

We were surprised to learn about Canary Islands wine as we were planning our trip to Gran Canaria Spain. During our Canary Islands tour, we learned a lot about Gran Canaria wine which was surprising.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ka-ap.ru/wp-content/uploads/4/8/8/488e64c6cc4f906e023ba41fcd613583.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ka-ap.ru/wp-content/uploads/4/8/8/488e64c6cc4f906e023ba41fcd613583.jpeg' /></noscript> Particularly when compared to the wine from other Spanish destinations. *This post contains compensated links.

We will offer recommendations on a few Canary Islands wine bodegas to visit. While wine travelers will recognize many common aspects of winemaking at Gran Canarian wineries, wineries in Canary Islands are just different. And, we recommend other places to try some of the best wine on the island. If you are looking for lesser-known and off-the-beaten-path wine destinations, this is the one for you. Traveling to Gran Canaria? Check out our Gran Canaria Food Guide, with tips on where and what to eat in Gran Canaria. Or see our guide to Tenerife Wine. Gran Canaria Wine Guide – Tasting Canary Islands Wine <h3>The Canary Islands Spain and Wine</h3> The Canary Islands are a group of islands owned by Spain, which are actually closer to Africa than to the Spanish mainland.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/46893525_q_TRr6op_Vcgcqt20SrC4dLjTjWA1Be4Po_wLOM5OiU.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/46893525_q_TRr6op_Vcgcqt20SrC4dLjTjWA1Be4Po_wLOM5OiU.jpg' /></noscript> For the past 600 years, the Canary Islands have belonged to Spain. The islands have adapted many traits commonly found on the Iberian peninsula, including the cultivation of wine. Morocco is the closest point. There are seven islands that form the Canarias, including Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria Spain, among others. Tenerife and Lanzarote are very popular Spain destinations for northern Europeans, particularly for Brit and Irish travelers. We visited Gran Canaria, though, to taste great Canarian food and to learn about wine. <h4>The Terrain And Terroir Of Gran Canaria</h4> When it comes to wine-making regions in Europe, the Canary Islands have to be one of the most extreme regions. It sits at 28-degree latitude, just about the same level as Miami. Imagine decent wine being grown in South Florida? Combine this latitude with very rugged and mountainous terrain, volcanoes, winds, and lack of water, and one would be surprised to know that decent (and in fact good) Spanish wines are produced here.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/dream-beaches-andreas-wonisch.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/dream-beaches-andreas-wonisch.jpg' /></noscript> One of the reasons why it offers so much for wine tourists is that few people really know about the wines of the region. <h4>Looking for More Information on Travel to The Canary Islands?</h4> Check out this list of the Top Canary Islands Wineries on Gran Canaria Or, check out our Ultimate Gran Canaria Food Guide – What to Eat in Gran Canaria <h3>Canary Islands Vineyards</h3> When thinking about the Canary Islands and wine, many wine travelers tend to think first and foremost about Lanzarote wine, then Tenerife wine, and perhaps then Gran Canaria wine. While Tenerife produces more wine than any other island, Lanzarote wine is the most popular. For sure, the Gran Canaria wine production is small, and very few wineries export out of the Canary Islands. There are, however, a few similarities that link all of these wine-producing areas to each other. All of the wine regions are well known for being volcanic vineyards. That means rough soil and little water. The Lanzarote vineyards are perhaps some of the most famous because of the unique way they plant the vines and irrigate them, leaving a large cauldron of soil around the base of the vines to help capture what little water there is.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/4a/e5/37/4ae5374adfe93cfa8805ddef68c9700b--canary-islands-picture-that.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/4a/e5/37/4ae5374adfe93cfa8805ddef68c9700b--canary-islands-picture-that.jpg' /></noscript> The Gran Canaria vineyards are unique in their own right. One thing I noticed when learning about Gran Canaria is how arid the land is. The soil is extremely dry and volcanic. Not only with wine, but even with other products, like avocados, mangos, and bananas. Part of me wondered how anything grows on Gran Canaria at all. Much to my surprise, not only do the vineyards grow in this gravely, volcanic soil but the wine has such a unique character due to this Gran Canaria microclimate. <h3>Where to Stay in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria</h3> Many people flock to the all-inclusive resorts in Gran Canaria, and once they get there, they kind of stay there. We had a different goal in mind. We wanted to learn all about Gran Canaria food, so we stayed in Las Palmas and took day trips to explore the island. We recommend the AC Hotel Iberia by Marriott. They have a rooftop pool with a view of the water and are only a five-minute walk to the tapas restaurants and bars in Triana. They also have parking, making them a great option to explore the city.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/da/b5/c9/dab5c9aa88a585e8fc8e6e19a62c8662--cacti-garden-cesar.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/da/b5/c9/dab5c9aa88a585e8fc8e6e19a62c8662--cacti-garden-cesar.jpg' /></noscript> If you don’t rent a car, they offer a shuttle from the airport too. We’ve been staying at AC Hotel properties all over Spain, and find they are a great mix of contemporary design and value. Check the best rates at the AC Hotel Iberia Gran Canaria here. <h3>Canary Islands Wine Varietals</h3> Some of the most common grape varieties grown on Gran Canaria include Malvasia, Listan Negro, and Listan Blanco. We are familiar with Malvasia. It is a common Emilia Romagna grape grown predominantly around Parma. The version grown in Gran Canaria is different, though. It is less sweet than in Parma, and a lot more crisp, due in part to the effect of the volcanic soil. Listan Blanco is more commonly known as Palomino elsewhere in Spain. It is the grape used to make sherry in Andalusia, in Jerez, Spain. The Listan Negro is the dark-skinned version of the same Palomino grape. <h4>History Of Wine On The Island</h4> One other interesting note for people who love wine history.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/8c/17/ef8c175ae9dc04891e54a8864d0d61b3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/8c/17/ef8c175ae9dc04891e54a8864d0d61b3.jpg' /></noscript> There is a history of wine production in the Canary Islands since the 16th century. Because of its island location, the Gran Canary wine regions were never touched by Phylloxera, the awful insect that destroyed the European wine industry in the 1860s. We know this quite well because of the devastating effect phylloxera had on the Emporda wine region in the Costa Brava, close to where we live in Girona. This is why the Canary Islands wine regions host some of the oldest vineyards in Europe. But what does all of this mean for the wine traveler? Most of the vineyards on Gran Canaria are old. Until the last decade or two most winemakers produced only for family consumption. The increase in wine production and wine tourism can be attributed to the younger generation, who see a future in Canary Island wines. This means there are small, boutique wineries to visit, and unique wines to drink. Do you often purchase wine when traveling and then stress about how to bring it home? Check out our guide on How to Travel With Wine – The Best Wine Travel Bags <h3>Gran Canaria Wine Bodegas</h3> We visited a few Gran Canaria wine bodegas during our stay on the island.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/falconaprivatejets.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMAGE-GRAN-CANARIA-1024x683.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/falconaprivatejets.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMAGE-GRAN-CANARIA-1024x683.jpg' /></noscript> You can visit most of the vineyards in Gran Canaria but it’s advisable to call in advance. It was great to meet the winemakers and to taste some truly unique wines. We also visited a few restaurants or wine bars where we were able to taste other Canary Islands wines from bodegas we were not able to visit. Overall, I was expecting the wines in Gran Canaria to be heavy and minerally. Instead, I found both the white and red wines were crisp and refreshing. <h4>Bodega Los Lirios</h4> Several of the wineries on Gran Canaria surround the area known as the Caldera de Bandama. The Bandama Caldera is a large cauldron-like hollow reservoir that forms after a volcanic eruption. Many of the typical Gran Canaria tours will visit the caldera and its visitor center. But, the area is also known for wine. Some of the vines are well over 100 years old at Bodega Los Lirios. Their bodega is one of the oldest on the island. Los Lirious only produces about 6,000 bottles a year, which for Gran Canaria is one of the larger wineries.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/content.r9cdn.net/rimg/dimg/5b/b8/790ed738-city-311219-16838af5a44.jpg?width=1200&height=630&crop=true" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/content.r9cdn.net/rimg/dimg/5b/b8/790ed738-city-311219-16838af5a44.jpg?width=1200&height=630&crop=true' /></noscript> For many typical wine regions, this is tiny in comparison. They offer a lovely wine tasting, outdoors, with local Canarian cheese. Bodega Los Lirios in Bandama is open Monday through Friday for tours and tastings, which generally take around two hours. The winery is only about 15 minutes by car from Las Palmas. <h4>Bodega San Juan – Wine Museum and Winery Gran Canaria</h4> If you are looking for a wine tour in Gran Canaria, certainly consider Bogega San Juan. If nothing else the history of this winery is incredible. Cristina’s great-grandfather started Bodega San Juan in 1912. Recently, Cristina and her husband started to breathe new life into the family farm. They opened their family’s historic wine museum to the public and have started to use a unique process for producing organic Gran Canaria wines. In 2017, they only produced 800 bottles, meaning if you want to learn the history of a small wine producer, this is the place to visit. Bodega San Juan at Finca del Mocanal offers tastings and tours of the winery and the small wine museum with prior arrangements.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/c7/5f/b0/c75fb0cd3dc4d8cb82b552a58ab41937.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/c7/5f/b0/c75fb0cd3dc4d8cb82b552a58ab41937.jpg' /></noscript> The winery is located about 15 minutes drive from Las Palmas. <h4>Bodega Los Berrazales – Winery and Coffee Plantation Gran Canaria</h4> Gran Canaria is one of the few areas within Europe that has coffee production. Coffee beans need warm and dry weather year-round. That’s exactly what a coffee plantation in Gran Canaria offers. Families started producing Agaete coffee generations ago. A handful of families continue to own and operate Gran Canaria coffee plantations, most of them continuing to harvest by hand. One also produces wine. Finca la Laja in Valle de Agaete is in the Northwest corner of the island, away from the Caldera Bandama Gran Canaria on the east. This Agaete coffee plantation is a working tropical fruit farm and Gran Canaria winery as well. Finca La Laja is a 5th generation coffee-producing family. You can tour the plantation, farm, and winery, and enjoy a little light lunch at their restaurant, which features Gran Canaria cheese, meat, produce, and of course their own Bodega Los Berrazales winery.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/obshe.net/upload/000/u11/f4/06/e0c57a29.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/obshe.net/upload/000/u11/f4/06/e0c57a29.jpg' /></noscript> Unlike the wineries on the east side of the island, they grow their grapes in the traditional way, under canopies to protect the grapes from the sun. <h4>Other Wineries And Bodegas</h4> There are about 50 or 60 wineries on the island. Other wineries to visit include Bodega Las Tirajanas Gran Canaria, Fronton de Oro, Bodega Hoyos de Bandama, Bodegas Mondalon. Of these wineries, Fronton de Oro is the one you would be most likely to find at wine shops in the US. <h4>Other Places to Taste Canary Islands Wine</h4> If visiting a Gran Canaria bodega is not in the cards, there are a few other places to check out that specialize in local Gran Canaria wines, as well as wines from Lanzarote and Tenerife. First, La Tienda de Paco in Tejeda is in the center of the island, in a cute little village. They carry a selection of Gran Canaria cheeses and wines all served in their tiny bar or on their terrace. I’m also a big fan of restaurants that are worth a drive. La Trastienda de Chago in Galdar certainly falls within that category.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/1479453_4DhXnF-qlldUhFawK4WD6e78VgvCXz_BiPKjommTlnc.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/1479453_4DhXnF-qlldUhFawK4WD6e78VgvCXz_BiPKjommTlnc.jpg' /></noscript> Galdar is an adorable little down about 30 minutes drive from Las Palmas. Las Trastienda is the brainchild of Carmelo and Nereida. They took a local bar and transformed it into a restaurant with a one-track mind – fresh, local ingredients. This also includes one of the best selections of Gran Canaria and Canary Island wines we saw on the island. A definite must-visit wine destination. <h3>FAQs – Gran Canaria Trips</h3> Is Gran Canaria in Spain? Yes! Despite how close it is to Africa, the Canary Islands are part of Spain. The Canary Islands have been owned by Spain since the last 1400s. All the rules and regulations that apply to residents in Iberian Spain, apply to residents living in the Canary Islands. What is the Gran Canaria Currency? Because it is part of Spain, and therefore part of the EU, they use the Euro as the currency in the Canary Islands. What is the best Canary Island? We’ve only been to Gran Canaria and Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/canarytripbooking.com/wp-content/uploads/tenerife-Mirador-de-Cherfe-a.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/canarytripbooking.com/wp-content/uploads/tenerife-Mirador-de-Cherfe-a.jpg' /></noscript> I have to say for someone interested in food and wine, who is looking to go off the beaten path and avoid the all-inclusive resorts, Gran Canaria would make a great destination. When is the best time to visit the Canary Islands? Like many places that are popular with sun-seekers, the Canary Island is very crowded in the Winter. Summers are very warm, making the Spring and Fall the best times of the year to visit. *We were supported by the Gran Canary Tourism Board, but all views are our own. <h2>Adventure #16: Canarian Wine | Quest Travel Adventures</h2> What a difference a few centuries make! Wine production on the Canary Islands is a perfect example of that. Dating back more than 500 years, Canarian wine production flourished after the archipelago’s 15th-century conquest by Spain. Because of the islands’ position as the last port of call before the vast Atlantic crossing, local wine was in big demand here: the explorers needed to stock up and fortify themselves for the voyage! By the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Canarian wines were among the most coveted wines in the world.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/26/3d/73/263d737618cd872cf3a740647059d773.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/26/3d/73/263d737618cd872cf3a740647059d773.jpg' /></noscript> William Shakespeare is among the many writers of the era to have mentioned Canary Islands wine (most notably in Twelfth Night, when Sir Toby Belch asks, “Oh knight, thou lackest a cup of canary: when did I see thee so put down?”), and the Bard himself is said to have been paid in part with a barrel of Malmsey from the islands. In fact, so popular were the wines of Tenerife among the British that winemakers in Garachico staged a Wine Rebellion in 1666, pouring their treasured vintages down the city streets rather than yield to the British monopoly. As in fashion, however, tastes in wine change over time. By the 18th century, European aristocracy had embraced the wines of France and Portugal, and the wines of the Canary Islands slipped into obscurity. Today, wines from the island group are practically unknown in the U.S. Thanks to support from Spain and the European Union, however, the wines of the Canaries are undergoing a renaissance: with more modern winemaking technology, improved quality, and sophisticated marketing, they are making a comeback and have even begun winning prestigious international wine awards.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfdae2e2slu17uf123m1l6f1g_1000x700.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfdae2e2slu17uf123m1l6f1g_1000x700.jpg' /></noscript> Among the factors that make Canarian wines so distinctive are grape-growing conditions that are unique in Europe. Here, you’ll find the most tropical of Europe’s wine regions, as well as the highest vineyard slopes. Additionally, because these islands are isolated from the mainland, they were spared an infestation of the deadly aphid phylloxera that devastated vineyards throughout Europe during the late 19th century. European vines were regenerated by grafting them onto phylloxera-resistant rootsocks. But because they were never grafted onto other rootstocks, Canarian vines are ancient, producing rich wines that are distinctive in their flavors and aromas. Another unique feature is the grapes themselves. You won’t find much Chardonnay, Cabernet, or Syrah grown here. The most common red grape cultivated on the islands is Listán Negro, which produces a fresh, peppery wine. Negramoll, Baboso Negro, and Tintilla are among the other popular red varieties. White-wine varieties produced here include Listán Blanco, Moscatel, and Verdello.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/e5/55/f8e555c3461a593b9b70ca8e2911d4c3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/e5/55/f8e555c3461a593b9b70ca8e2911d4c3.jpg' /></noscript> And while the sweet, heavy Malmsey wine so prized by the Elizabethans fell out of favor long ago, the Malvasia grape on which it is based continues to thrive — particularly in the volcanic soils of the island of Lanzarote, which earned a DO designation (denominación de origen, signifying that high standards of regional production have been met) late last century. Today, each of the Canary Islands of La Palma, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, and La Gomera has also earned its own DO. It is Tenerife, however, whose wines earned the Canary Islands’ first DO, and the island remains the archipelago’s primary wine producer. There are now five DOs on Tenerife alone, populated by more than 70 bodegas and many smaller producers. The largest — and first — of Tenerife’s DOs is Tacoronte-Acentejo, whose lush vineyards carpet the slopes of the Anaga Peninsula on the island’s northerly coast. Red wines rule the region, known for its cooling Atlantic breezes and high altitudes. High altitudes also abound on the island’s west coast — the Ycoden-Daute-Isora appellation, where dry white wines are made from Malvasia and Listán Blanco grapes grown on the slopes of Mount Teide.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tenerifenews.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/i.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tenerifenews.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/i.jpg' /></noscript> The Valle de La Orotava DO is located on the island’s north coast, between these two powerhouse regions. With vineyards dating to the Spanish conquest of the 15th century, it is Tenerife’s oldest wine region. Although it does produce the Pedro Ximenez grape favored in Spanish sherries, this appellation is best known for its red wines crafted from the Listán Negro, Negramoll, and Tintilla grapes. Abona and Valle de Güimar are the DOs of Tenerife’s southern coast. Abona is home to the highest vineyard slopes in the European Union, with altitudes as high as 5,250 feet. Known primarily for its white wines, Abona produces some of the finest wines on the island. Vineyards on Valle de Güimar sometimes reach nearly as high (up to 4,920 feet), producing dry, semi-dry, and fruity whites — primarily from the Listán Blanco grape— as well as Malvasias in dry and traditional sweet styles. Wine lovers know that regional cuisine is best when paired with a wine that is also from the local area.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tenerifecarhire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/tenerife-beach-las-teresitas-1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tenerifecarhire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/tenerife-beach-las-teresitas-1.jpg' /></noscript> When you visit Tenerife, be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy your meal with delicious local wines that are virtually unavailable in the U.S.! <h2>Canary Islands DOs (Part I)</h2> The Canary Islands are an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa. The islands are (from largest to smallest): Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and the smaller islands La Graciosa, Alegranza, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste and Isla de Lobos. The origin of the Canaries is volcanic, and Tenerife houses the third largest volcano in the world, Mount Teide, which has been dormant since 1909. This, together with the subtropical climate which is characteristic of the islands, the magnificent beaches of dark volcanic sand, and their excellent Canary wines make it a popular tourist destination. The volcanic origin of the Canary soils result in a very special grape.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f7/fe/9c/f7fe9c3fd4247d4745258950c35311fc--la-palma-canary-islands-the-canaries.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f7/fe/9c/f7fe9c3fd4247d4745258950c35311fc--la-palma-canary-islands-the-canaries.jpg' /></noscript> Almost 970 million sq. feet are used for vine plantations, specially for the Malvasía, Moscatel, Gual and Sabro varieties. The production of Canary wine is quite low, in fact it doesn’t even account for half of the consumption of the region. <h4>DO Abona</h4> Established in 1995, it is Tenerife’s most recent designation of origin and it’s still in its expansion period. The DO Abona is found in the southern part of Tenerife, and enjoys a warm and dry Mediterranean climate. Most of the wines produced by the DO Abona are white Canary wines, so the most popular grape variety used is the Listan Blanco (which occupies almost 80% of the whole plantation for this designation of origin), but Bastardo Blanco, Bermejuela, Forastera blanca, Gual, Malvasía, Moscatel, Pedro Ximenez, Sobro, Torrentes, Verdello and Vijariego are also allowed. In the case of red wines, Listan Negro, Bastardo negro, Malvasía rosada, Moscatel negro, Negramoll, Tintilla and Vijariego negra are the varieties used.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/latteluxurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jardin-Persa-Lateral-1K.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/latteluxurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jardin-Persa-Lateral-1K.jpg' /></noscript> The DO Abona produces white, rosé and red wine, in that order of preference. They also produce a “classic sweet” wine through over ripening the grapes (of the Moscatel or Malvasía variety) to up the sugar levels. Their alcohol content is as follows: <ul> <li>White wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 10.5%</li> <li>Rosé wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11%</li> <li>Red wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11.5%</li> <li>Classic sweet wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 15%</li> </ul> <h4>DO El Hierro</h4> El Hierro is the most western and southern of all the Canary Islands, and also the smallest. The DO El Hierro was established in 1994, and there are three main production areas: El Golfo, El Pinar and Echedo. It’s believed that the first vines in El Hierro were planted by the Englishman John Hill, who wanted to produce hard liquor. El Hierro wasn’t invaded by the phylloxera plague that swept the rest of the islands, so it’s one of the few places were it’s still possible to find older varieties of grape that in other regions were thought to be extinct.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f8/19/cd/f819cd9b340efe408f8cc6a916033625--canary-islands-spain.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/f8/19/cd/f819cd9b340efe408f8cc6a916033625--canary-islands-spain.jpg' /></noscript> As in most of the islands in the Canaries, white grapes are predominant over red grapes. The most used varieties are Verijadiego, Albillo, Bastarda, Bermejuela, Breval, Burrablanca, Gual, Forastera, Listan, Malvasía, Moscatel, Pedro Ximénez, Torrontés and Verdello in white wines, and Vijariego negro, Listán negro, Negramoll and Torrontés in red wines. The alcohol level in the Canary wines of this DO are as follows: <ul> <li>Red wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 12%</li> <li>White wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11%</li> <li>Rosé wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11.5%</li> <li>Sparkling wine, with a minimum alcohol content between 10.5% and 13%</li> </ul> <h4>DO Gran Canaria</h4> Gran Canaria is the second most populated island in the Canary archipelago. The trade winds have set astounding landscape differences between the wayward and leeward areas of the island so, despite its size, Gran Canaria has many climatic varieties between regions, and it has been dubbed “The Miniature Continent”.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cypruswinesonline.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/YIASKOURIS_SHIRA_5f85a8684e084.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cypruswinesonline.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/YIASKOURIS_SHIRA_5f85a8684e084.jpg' /></noscript> A study from the Syracuse University in New York has shown that Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the insular capital, has the best climate in the world. Gran Canaria used to have two different designations of origin: DO Monte Lentiscal and DO Gran Canaria, each with their own production area, but in 2006 they where unified under the common name DO Gran Canaria. Nevertheless, Monte Lentiscal is still considered a separate area, and the Canary wines from this region have special characteristics. DO Gran Canaria produces more red wine than white, and the grape varieties used are Listán negro, Negramoll, Tintilla and Malvasía rosada for the reds; Malvasía, Gual, Marmajuelo o Bermejuela, Vijariego, Albillo and Moscatel de Alejandría for the whites. The alcohol levels in the wines of DO Gran Canaria are as follows: <ul> <li>Red wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11%</li> <li>White wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 10%</li> <li>Rosé wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 11%</li> </ul> The alcohol levels in the wines of Monte Lentiscal are as follows: <ul> <li>Red wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 14%</li> <li>White wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 14%</li> <li>Rosé wine, with a minimum alcohol content of 13%</li> </ul> There are another six other designations of origin that produce Canary wines: DO Lanzarote, DO La Palma, DO Tacoronte – Acentejo, DO Valle de Güimar, DO Valle de la Orotava and DO Ycoden Daute Isora <h2>Why the Canary Islands Remain the Perfect Storm of Wine Cool</h2> <h3>Welcome to “Crib Sheet,” your monthly shortcut to what’s hot in wine </h3> right now, in four bottles, courtesy of Jon Bonné.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/02/99/e6/0299e66d1e7f3012e763aa43e9c2835d--lanzarote-vans.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/02/99/e6/0299e66d1e7f3012e763aa43e9c2835d--lanzarote-vans.jpg' /></noscript> This month: the Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago off Africa that is home to a grab bag of volcanic wines. </h3> <time datetime="2016-05-17 08:27:52" pubdate="">May 17, 2016</time> story: Jon Bonné photo: Lizzie Munro <ul> <li>Share story:</li> <li> Share </li> <li>Tweet </li> <li> </li> <li>Email </li> </ul> To Email Address From Name From Email Address Subject Message Hi,  I thought you might like this article – [url].  Enjoy! If you were to put a pushpin on a map to mark today’s epicenter for coolhunting in Spanish wine, here’s what you wouldn’t do: You wouldn’t move south, past Andalusia, past Gibraltar, all the way to Morocco’s southern border.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/silvijatraveltips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/El-Hierro-Sendero-El-Cres-1024x685.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/silvijatraveltips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/El-Hierro-Sendero-El-Cres-1024x685.jpg' /></noscript> For sure, you wouldn’t then move due west, out into the ocean, and place it there. Except the Canary Islands, a remote Spanish archipelago off the coast of Africa, is arguably one of the brightest spots in Spanish wine—one of those colonial European leftovers that dot the Atlantic Ocean; it’s essentially Spain’s Hawaii. And that isolation has, for the most part, helped to make the Canaries unique in a way that’s finally being appreciated today. Of course, the Canaries have had past fans—Shakespeare, most famously, whose characters went on about “Canary wine,” which was likely not far off from a lighter style of Madeira. Like Madeira and the wines of Jerez, “Canary wine” resonated with prominent American colonialists for a sensible reason: It was eminently shippable on the high seas. Today’s Canary wines are, safe to assume, nothing like that. In which case, just what are they like? For all the current popularity, it’s hard to find an exact thread through the many varieties and growing areas.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ptithotel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/petit-hotel-wine-tour-and-tasting-cinque-terre-6-1030x687.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ptithotel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/petit-hotel-wine-tour-and-tasting-cinque-terre-6-1030x687.jpg' /></noscript> But the one quality that’s unmistakable is a dense streak of stony or salty minerality in nearly every good Canary wine (think sherry or Chablis). Beyond that, most are produced by small wineries rather than big; there’s relatively little chemical farming and a general interest in less intervention in the winery; and the wines consist of a panoply of unusual grapes not found many other places. When those grapes are found elsewhere, they end up in other fashionable wines: Listán blanco in the Canaries happens to be the palomino fino grape that makes up most sherry; its major red, listán negro, has at least some similarity to the mission grape, which is planted throughout the Americas and is now getting renewed attention in California and Chile. There’s also verdelho, albillo, gual and tintilla, the last of which is known as trousseau in Jura, along with many others. Even if you recognize the grapes, the islands’ unique diversity of climate evokes a different side in each (verdelho here comes off as more distinctly savory than fruity, while listán blanco avoids the blah neutrality of palomino fino).<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn2.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/05/51/canary-islands-black-white-map-with-major-cities-vector-950551.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn2.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/05/51/canary-islands-black-white-map-with-major-cities-vector-950551.jpg' /></noscript> This is because the Canaries are not one place, but many. There are at least seven main islands in the archipelago, and many smaller ones, each comprising a range of microclimates and soils. Five of the seven islands have their own appellations (denominations, or DOs)—El Hierro, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, Lanzarote and La Palma—and Tenerife, the largest island, has five of its own, leading to mouthfuls like “Tenerife Ycoden Daute Isora,” which basically translates to western Tenerife. I don’t want to oversimplify and say that these aren’t helpful, but they’re perhaps one step past our current understanding. Even the biggest Canary devotee would probably be challenged to pinpoint the difference in the glass between, say, La Palma, at the archipelago’s northwestern edge, and the easternmost island of Lanzarote. The one unifying trait, however, is volcanism, which arguably contributes to the wines’ mineral character. Many good vineyards are planted in ash fields and often whipped by an unrelenting wind—a combination that makes grape-growing on the Canaries a particular challenge.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/wiwR4_niZrI/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/wiwR4_niZrI/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> Tenerife, for instance, is home to Mount Teide, an active volcano that plays host to some of Europe’s highest-elevation vineyards. The typical photo of Canary Islands vineyards reveals vines planted in a moonscape of pure black sand—an even weirder sight than the vineyards of Sicily’s Mount Etna. They’re often planted close to the ground and frequently in the midst of a small moat, or hoyo. This leaves the vine partly sunken, thus helping to stave off the often brutal winds. But these challenges mean that yields are never high and farming requires intense manual labor. Hence, there’s never much wine to go around. So even with the popularity, the wines appear itinerantly, which might be why it has been hard to fully get our heads around the Canaries. But a few have emerged as standard-bearers. First among them, undoubtedly, is Los Bermejos, located on Lanzarote and one of the pioneers of the island’s modern wine culture; the winery produces everything from Champagne-style brut to a carbonic listán negro that drinks like a southern homage to Beaujolais.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sbq5xwEjs6A/WPcmMIfj5VI/AAAAAAAAdIs/AyLbQ26QojUP9XCJV9-RxvOE2Dj83Zd3gCLcB/s1600/satell.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sbq5xwEjs6A/WPcmMIfj5VI/AAAAAAAAdIs/AyLbQ26QojUP9XCJV9-RxvOE2Dj83Zd3gCLcB/s1600/satell.jpg' /></noscript> And today, a new handful of names is beginning to appear. People like Victoria Torres of Matías i Torres, whose work is some of the first to bring attention to the tiny and dramatically beautiful outlying island of La Palma, and Borja Pérez of Ignios, who is practicing some of the lowest-intervention winemaking on the islands. The net result is that the Canaries, in their slightly endangered state, have become a microcosm of all the tendencies that today’s wine industry holds dear. We love the romance of determined people doing things against the odds. And few places embody that more than the Canary Islands. <h4>The Classic</h4> 2014 Los Bermejos Lanzarote Listán Rosado | $22 If the Canaries have a breakthrough success, it would be Ignacio Valdera and his Bermejos winery. The urn-shaped bottles (and their helpful notched rims!) are immediately recognizable, and many of the photos of the island vineyards come from the black sands of easternmost Lanzarote, where the winery is located.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/img.youtube.com/vi/u6XnUOkay9Q/0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/img.youtube.com/vi/u6XnUOkay9Q/0.jpg' /></noscript> Bermejos makes pretty much everything, including a very good Champagne-style wine and one of the few examples of the diego grape. It makes an austere, savory wine—like albariño if it was giving up fruit for Lent. The winery’s rosé is a particular pleasure every year, showing a substantial side to listán negro. The grape’s low-acid tendencies are clearly not a problem here. But it’s also meaty and substantial, showing a mix of iodine and dried nectarines.

Among other things, they have made it their project to discover some of the islands’ many obscure (and endangered) grape varieties, at least some of which make it into their bottles.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/oleghalimov.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/013_033a_lanzarote_article.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/oleghalimov.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/013_033a_lanzarote_article.jpg' /></noscript> Their Ensamblaje Tinto, for instance, mixes baboso, vijariego negro and tintilla (and then puts on a good bit of oak, which seems to negate the point). The Ancestrale goes elsewhere, though. Made entirely from the gual grape (bual in Madeira), it’s skin-fermented like a red and wonderfully aromatic (think almond blossoms and ginger). It’s also both salty with a mineral sense and creamy, an orange wine that outshines many examples of the form. Put this up against wines from Umbria’s Paolo Bea, for instance, and the Spaniards have the advantage.

And it’s rare to find single-vineyard bottlings from the islands. Here, then, is a chance to experience both. Victoria Torres is taking over her family’s holdings in Fuencaliente, including this parcel of 100-year-old listán blanco (n.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/funart.pro/uploads/posts/2021-03/thumbs/1617198565_45-p-oboi-kanarskie-ostrova-55.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/funart.pro/uploads/posts/2021-03/thumbs/1617198565_45-p-oboi-kanarskie-ostrova-55.jpg' /></noscript> b., good luck finding vines that old in Jerez). At the same time, she has continued some unrelentingly old-fashioned traditions: using old wooden presses and native yeasts that hearken to the 19th century. Think of the Machuqueras as fino sherry before it’s fortified—that intensely tangy, salty aspect in spades, all olive brine and tar and charred lemons. It’s rich but not overly so, the saline side keeping the wine in check.

Launching his winery in 2011, he wanted to work with almost no sulfur dioxide and a minimum of intrusion in the cellar. His Origenes wines are from his own parcels, but Artifice comes from purchased fruit. This red, made from listán negro, vijariego negro and baboso, is approachable and rugged, the sort of wine that would attract a lot of new attention to the Canaries.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/000/143/840/wysiwyg/golden_kaan_dailynews_4-25(1).jpg?1486459346" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travelask.ru/system/images/files/000/143/840/wysiwyg/golden_kaan_dailynews_4-25(1).jpg?1486459346' /></noscript> It’s defined by a distinct bloodiness—in a good way—and a surprising amount of tannic grip for what’s supposed to be a friendly, carefree red. It also is reminiscent of syrah, with leathery fruit and a black-pepper spice, but the whack of acidity is all Canaries.

The terrain was like nothing I’d seen before, the entire landscape a uniform gunmetal gray—hard and shiny like onyx in some places, fragmented and ashy in others. The buildings were equally invariable. Small, geometric, and painted stark white, they clustered together into townships as if huddling for warmth. Viewed in full sun, the contrast they struck against the ebony earth seared my eyes. For hours after leaving the island, I could still see their cubic forms projected on the inside of my closed lids. Lanzarote’s almost total lack of vegetation was startling. As was the wind. Thick palm trees bent like cooked noodles in what I was sure were hurricane force winds, but were mere breezes to the residents. Later, an attempt to play miniature golf proved laughable. Might as well have tried in zero gravity. I quickly came to curse my attire. While a sundress seemed fitting for the temperature, it left too much exposed. My pale New England skin, which refuses to brown even after eight years in California, was soon buffed and scratched to a painful pink hue.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/thetravelaisle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/View-of-tenerife-1030x687.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/thetravelaisle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/View-of-tenerife-1030x687.jpg' /></noscript> Sunscreen was not the issue; what I needed was an exoskeleton. It turns out that the ash on Lanzarote is nothing like the lacy campfire snowflakes of my youth. Each particle, which whips about on the wind, more closely resembles a tiny meteorite, with craters and jagged, tooth-like edges. The landscape in Lanzarote (Photo credit: Kelli White) <h3>The Reign in Spain</h3> Lanzarote and the rest of the Canary Islands legally belong to Spain, and are therefore European. Yet the volcanic archipelago is far closer to Africa, situated only 100 kilometers (62 miles) off the Moroccan coast, one-tenth of its distance from Spain. This remote allegiance is a relic from the days of Colonial expansion, when the various powers of Europe were frantically planting flags across the far reaches of the globe. The Spanish crown first laid claim to the Canary Islands in 1402, though Portugal regularly challenged their dominion. As a result, today’s Canary Island culture is very much a mix of Spanish and Portuguese influence, with the latter reflected in a good proportion of the population’s surnames as well as many of the grape varieties, which were brought from the island of Madeira.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/hikinghighlights.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/graciosa-beach.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/hikinghighlights.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/graciosa-beach.jpg' /></noscript> Credit: Food & Wines From Spain Like Madeira, the Canary Islands are critically positioned and served as a useful stopping place for European ships bound for Asia, South America, or the West Coast of the United States. Early European settlers were quick to plant vines, and the resulting wines enjoyed significant international acclaim. The most popular of the early wines included a Sherry-style “sack,” a sweet fortified Malvasía, and vidueño, which is believed to have been produced from a combination of white and red varieties, most likely Listán Blanco, Listán Negro, and Listán Prieto. Ships bound for the Spanish colonies in the New World would commonly stock up on both wine and vine cuttings in the Canaries. In this way, Listán Prieto came to dominate the Americas, where it became known as Criolla in Argentina, País in Chile, and Mission in California. <h3>The Islands Today</h3> The Canary Islands are located along the 28th parallel, closer to the equator than most fine wine regions.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/strawberryfarms.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/wine-1024x768.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/strawberryfarms.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/wine-1024x768.jpg' /></noscript> The climate is classified as subtropical, and conditions are fairly temperate year round. The balmy weather and striking beauty of the islands make them a huge draw for tourists, and more than 14 million visit each year (signage on Tenerife’s northern airport is written in both Spanish and German). Luxury development is rampant, raising the value of real estate across all the islands, even in locations far from the coast. This is a source of frustration for producers like Envínate, whose desire to expand their vineyard holdings is regularly thwarted by growers holding out for “hotel money.” Data from Food & Wines From Spain The current wine culture of the Canary Islands is a bit schizophrenic. On the one hand, producers are turning out a flood of cheap and inoffensive resort wines, engineered to sate but not challenge the tourists. On the other, a small group of quality-minded winemakers are crafting some of the most exciting, individualistic, and buzzworthy wines of the day.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/7b/64/54/7b6454cf24942576cced711162e1b969.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/7b/64/54/7b6454cf24942576cced711162e1b969.jpg' /></noscript> This upward trajectory is a relatively recent phenomenon, and momentum is growing. According to Anthony Weytjens of Finca Vegas, “As early as 10 years ago, the majority of producers were focused only on quantity. This new generation of winemakers has formal training, international experience, and a passion for quality.” Such producers have worked hard to have their wines recognized. To do so, they not only had to educate buyers and consumers that were, for the most part, uninformed about Canary Island wines, but also had to set themselves apart from a local culture that does not necessarily embrace fine wine. While touring the Canary Islands, I was first bemused, then amused, at the repeated warnings I was issued against changing wines mid-meal. Multiple residents assured me that I would get a headache unless I drank only one type of wine with dinner. This mentality is part of the reason that top producers are focusing almost exclusively on exporting, rather than on cultivating their local market.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/5415911_eVf0UM198lDgWEi1uIxlKYBeegD3rjRddH-cJWWAkcc.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/5415911_eVf0UM198lDgWEi1uIxlKYBeegD3rjRddH-cJWWAkcc.jpg' /></noscript> Even at the highest end, Canary Island wines are seriously inexpensive, which is either a good or bad thing depending on which side of the consumer line you stand. More than once I thought I was ordering a glass of something, only to discover the listed price was for a bottle. Roberto Santana of Envínate believes that the best wines can and should command more money, which will help build their international reputations. “We need to start making more expensive wines in the Canary Islands. Even charging 14 or 15 euros would help. We see wines for 3 euros on the shelf, and that is bad for us.” He is not the only frustrated producer. While the recent jumps in quality (and the resulting international recognition) have been encouraging, many feel that Canary Island wines still have a long way to go. Agustín García Farráis of Bodegas Tajinaste is in that camp, but sees limitless potential. “In the 16th and 17th centuries, Canary Islands wines were famous worldwide. We need to reclaim that reputation!” <h3>Grapes & Vineyards</h3> Producers may complain that the wine culture of the Canary Islands seems to have stalled after such a propitious start, but it can be argued that this has been a good thing for the vineyards.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/masse-dzr.ru/wp-content/uploads/3navarra.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/masse-dzr.ru/wp-content/uploads/3navarra.jpg' /></noscript> Partly because of their remote location, and partly because of the often sandy, volcanic nature of the soil, phylloxera has never appeared in the Canaries. As such, the islands are home to many varieties, such as Listán Prieto, that were once prevalent in mainland Europe but have since disappeared. Ancient methods of trellising have also been preserved. One of the most distinct is the trenzado system, wherein vines are trained along the ground in braids that extend for 10 meters or more. Following fruit set, these long cordons are propped up on sticks to keep the clusters off the ground. After harvest, the arms were historically swung to the side so that potatoes, corn, and other crops could be cultivated during dormancy. Many vineyards feature vines that are a century (or two!) in age.

When produced on its own, the wine tends to be muscular, tannic, peppery, and smoky, with relatively high acidity. <h4>Listán Blanco</h4> Listán Blanco is the main variety of the Canary Islands. This is the same grape as Sherry’s Palomino Fino, and it was introduced to the islands in the late 15th century specifically for sack production. While it is generally considered to yield wines of middling quality, the ancient vines and volcanic terrain of the Canaries allow for the production of some dazzling wines. In general, varietal Listán Blanco wines tend to be low toned and semi-aromatic, with moderate alcohol and a nose evocative of white Burgundy. <h4>Listán Negro</h4> Unlike Listán Blanco and Listán Prieto, which were imported from Spain, Listán Negro is indigenous to the Canary Islands—the result of a cross between Listán Blanco and Negramoll.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/2.bp.blogspot.com/-EMO-Q-n2_sw/UK6UjdzKH-I/AAAAAAAABCQ/QYvGbo1v_bE/s640/Upper+Valle+Gran+Rey+early+November.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/2.bp.blogspot.com/-EMO-Q-n2_sw/UK6UjdzKH-I/AAAAAAAABCQ/QYvGbo1v_bE/s640/Upper+Valle+Gran+Rey+early+November.jpg' /></noscript> This is the most important and widely planted red grape on the islands, and its best examples tend to come from the northern end of Tenerife. It is made using a range of methods, from carbonic maceration to more extractive practices, and generally produces elegant, soft, peppery, and perfumed wines. <h4>Listán Prieto</h4> Listán Prieto, which is known internationally as País, Mission, and Criolla, is not the most highly regarded of the Canary Islands’ red grapes. Though vigorous and drought tolerant, the wines tend to be low in both color and alcohol, with high, almost shrill acidity. Careful attention in the vineyard and cellar can result in some attractive, if simple, wines, and more and more quality producers are playing around with the variety. <h4>Malvasía</h4> There are two distinct grapes cultivated on the Canary Islands that go by the name Malvasía. The main variety is identical to Italy’s Malvasia di Lipari (though locally it is referred to simply as Malvasía), which is the same grape that informs Madeira’s Malmsey.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/en.topvoyager.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/canary-islands-6-2-1068x712.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/en.topvoyager.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/canary-islands-6-2-1068x712.jpg' /></noscript> This is a very floral and relatively high alcohol variety. Occasionally, a red-tinted strain can be found, which is known as Malvasía Rosada. Over on Lanzarote, what is called Malvasía Volcánica is a distinct variety, produced locally from a cross of Malvasia di Lipari and Marmajuelo. It is far less floral and blousy, and tends to produce earth-flecked, chalky whites. <h4>Negramoll</h4> As with Malvasía, Negramoll is an import from Portugal, where it is known as Tinta Negra Mole on the island of Madeira. It generally functions as a blending grape, but some producers bottle varietal versions. They tend to be soft, light-bodied, and lightly herbal—a kind of Canary Island Pinot Noir. <h4>Other Grapes</h4> Though the grapes listed above dominate the plantings, there are many other local and imported varieties that play important roles in Canary Island wines. Diego is an interesting white on Lanzarote that makes for light and flinty wines; its red-skinned cousin Vijariego Negro yields dark, chalky, and tactile wines on the other islands.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/f1/11/cdf1117e67c162d757c47d74331d81b8.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/f1/11/cdf1117e67c162d757c47d74331d81b8.jpg' /></noscript> Albillo is another aromatic white, typically added to blends for its floral character, just as Verdello (same as Madeira’s Verdelho) is added for its herbaceous tone. Marmajuelo makes for broad, creamy whites and Muscat/Moscatel occasionally appears in dessert wines. Tintilla, Forastera Blanca, Gual (Madeira’s Bual), and Bastardo are also found. There are minimal plantings of international varieties in the Canaries, but what does exist tends to be clustered in the southern end of Tenerife. <h3>Lanzarote</h3> The black lava and ash that coats Lanzarote like lacquer wasn’t always there. As recently as the first half of the 18th century, this island was as fertile as the rest of the Canaries, with thriving agriculture and livestock industries. But the volcano that originally formed Lanzarote woke up in 1730, initiating an eruption that lasted six years. By the time it finished, the island had been blacked out, all life redacted. The eruption of 1730 effectively marked the beginning of Lanzarote’s viticultural history.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/umra/8672859/474352/474352_900.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/umra/8672859/474352/474352_900.jpg' /></noscript> While some trees such as figs and palms can be cultivated in select places, hardy weed-like vines were soon identified as best suited to survive the harsh conditions. But for the vines to take root, a pit must first be dug through the ash to reach the underlying subsoil. The resulting troughs, called hoyos, can be as large as 5 meters deep by 10 meters wide, and often contain only a single vine. Needless to say, this makes for some of the lowest density vineyards in the world, and even with Lanzarote’s typical high fruit load per vine, yields are extremely low. The ash, though lifeless and somewhat of an obstacle, is beneficial in that it absorbs and retains the little rain that falls and acts as a thermal insulator, regulating the temperature of the soil. A hoyo in Lanzarote (Photo credit: Kelli White) While this system of viticulture appears impractically elaborate, hoyos are efficient in that they also serve as wind shields. Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canary archipelago, and while it is not the hottest, it is by far the driest and windiest.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/10/c1/8c/d9/photo5jpg.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/10/c1/8c/d9/photo5jpg.jpg' /></noscript> These ferocious winds are known as vientos alisios and typically hail from the northeast. Occasionally, a hot Saharan wind will blow from Africa, which can burn the fruit and leaves. Shielding the vines from these gusts is paramount to their survival—so long as that protection is incomplete. According to Ignacio Valdera of Los Bermejos, “The wind is a problem but also an advantage, as it is the best natural fungicide available.” To control the influx of air, permeable rock cairns (abrigos, meaning “coats”) are constructed around the windward side of the hoyo. In more modern vineyards, these rock walls line long, straight trenches (zanjas), with the vines crouching in their lee. This method of cultivation results in a slightly higher vine density, but is only possible where the ash layer is shallow. It is rare for wineries on Lanzarote to own vast tracts of vines. More commonly, vintners will purchase fruit from a range of small growers. Ignacio Valdera claims to work with over 250 different farmers, whose “vineyards” are often no larger than their backyard.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/alcoexpert.ru/uploads/posts/2017-11/1511284608_1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/alcoexpert.ru/uploads/posts/2017-11/1511284608_1.jpg' /></noscript> As very few people can earn an income from farming, most growers have other jobs, typically in the tourism sector, Lanzarote’s main industry. Across the island, Malvasía Volcánica (an earthier, less floral Malvasía) is the dominant variety, with Listán Blanco, Diego, Moscatel, Pedro Ximénez, Listán Negro, and Negramoll found in lesser amounts. As phylloxera has never established itself in the Canary Islands, many of these vines are ancient, with root systems up to 300 years old. Sweet fortified wines are the traditional product of Lanzarote, but dry and sparkling Malvasía wines are among the most promising contemporary creations. Notable Bodegas: Los Bermejos, Rubicón <h3>Tenerife</h3> Though its landscape is not quite as alien as Lanzarote’s, Tenerife is still profoundly exotic. Jungles, deserts, rocky coastline, and an at-times snowcapped mountain all coexist on a relatively small land mass. This diversity of terrain is reflected in the wines, which vary wildly in terms of both composition and style.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/emptykingdom/71667436/701170/701170_original.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ic.pics.livejournal.com/emptykingdom/71667436/701170/701170_original.jpg' /></noscript> And while viticulture is present on almost all the Canary Islands, it is especially prevalent on Tenerife. Tenerife also contains the highest concentration of producers, and many of the islands’ most profound and exciting wines hail from here. Tenerife’s skyline is dominated by the noble Mount Teide, which at 3,718 meters is the tallest peak in Spain. This mountain and the smaller ones that surround it are what make the production of fine wine possible on Tenerife. Most of the island’s vines are planted on slopes, with the sweet spot seemingly between 400 and 900 meters. While vineyards do stretch as high as 1,600 meters (the highest in Europe!), ripening can be difficult at such altitudes. The cooler temperatures at these heights help keep the wines fresh. This is a good part of the reason why the top Canary Island wines tend to be light bodied and understated, despite the tropical conditions. Mount Teide is large enough to impact weather patterns, and its presence effectively divides the island into two distinct subregions.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/ab/5b/47/ab5b4742fb8fa4de8cb8ab16946a54b0--lanzarote-tenerife.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/ab/5b/47/ab5b4742fb8fa4de8cb8ab16946a54b0--lanzarote-tenerife.jpg' /></noscript> Winds typically blow from north to south, and the clouds and precipitation get trapped by Teide. This makes the northern appellations cooler, more humid, and occasionally overcast, while the southern areas are far hotter, more arid, and still. The entire island is covered in rich fertile soil, but volcanic material is concentrated in the north and at higher elevations. Most of the vineyards are quite small—a holdover from the past, when families would cultivate a small plot of vines for home winemaking. These tiny parcels are known as suertes, and many are being abandoned, as the younger generations would rather grab a six-pack of beer than make their own wine. Many of Tenerife’s top producers cobble their production together from dozens, even hundreds, of suertes, buying the land when they can, and leasing or simply farming the vineyards when the owners won’t sell. Because of the small average parcel size and the often-steep slopes, yields are uniformly low and mechanization of any kind is virtually impossible.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ochen-delovie-ludi.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Cune4.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ochen-delovie-ludi.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Cune4.jpg' /></noscript> Indeed, for Envínate’s famous Táganan bottling, the remote vineyard can only be accessed via horse, which is used to carry small loads of fruit to a van, which navigates the narrow streets to a truck, which continues to the winery. Small suertes, both bush vine and trenzado (Photo credit: Kelli White) Viticulture on Tenerife began in the north, where there was an especially strong Portuguese presence. This side of the island is planted to a range of varieties, while white grapes dominate in the south. According to Weytjens, “By the time the south started [planting] grapes, the white wines of Tenerife were the most famous and easier to sell, so the growers went for Malvasía and Listán Blanco.” That said, a small amount of international varieties was planted in the south during the 1990s, but these vines are being slowly phased out in favor of local grapes. All of the other wine-producing islands possess a single DO that encompasses their entire production.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/legacy.travelnoire.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/radek-zLWGDlOXCKs-unsplash-970x642.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/legacy.travelnoire.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/radek-zLWGDlOXCKs-unsplash-970x642.jpg' /></noscript> Tenerife has no such appellation; instead, it has been broken down into five distinct subregions. Though meaningful to producers, these areas and their complicated names don’t yet register with consumers. I personally found more differentiation between the northern and southern halves of the island, rather than between the individual DOs. In the north, Tenerife is carved into three pieces—Tacoronte-Acentejo, Valle de la Orotava, and Ycoden-Daute-Isora—while the south contains Abona and Valle de Güímar. Starting in the northeast corner with Tacoronte-Acentejo, we will move counterclockwise around the island and consider each DO. <h4>DO Tacoronte-Acentejo</h4> If Tenerife is shaped like a goose, Tacoronte-Acentejo is the neck and head. This is the largest DO of the island, and the first to be granted, in 1992. It is a striking appellation, with dramatic valleys and ravines, and steeply terraced hillsides that overlook the Atlantic. It has always been fairly well developed and today possesses the highest number of bodegas.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/d17oknutsq9rw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/30045415/Gran-Canaria-800x533.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/d17oknutsq9rw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/30045415/Gran-Canaria-800x533.jpg' /></noscript> Tacoronte-Acentejo was historically considered the best location for red wines in Tenerife, and toward that end, over 90% of its vineyards are dedicated to red varieties. Here the primary grapes are Negramoll and Listán Negro, but Tintilla, Moscatel Negro, Malvasía Rosada, and Listán Prieto are also found. Most vineyards are planted between 100 and 1,000 meters in rich loam over volcanic bedrock, which becomes far more meager at higher elevations. Notable Bodega: Monje Notable Vineyard: Táganan <h4>DO Valle de la Orotava</h4> Situated to the west of Tacoronte-Acentejo is the lush and verdant Valle de la Orotava. This is one of the first areas to be planted following the Spanish occupation of the early 1400s. Most vineyards are planted along the terraced foothills of Mount Teide, from roughly 200 to 800 meters in elevation, in a north-facing valley. Here the traditional trenzado cultivation is especially prevalent.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/b6/f8/5d/b6f85da7c7055f62887689cff902d916.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/b6/f8/5d/b6f85da7c7055f62887689cff902d916.jpg' /></noscript> Of all the appellations, this one possesses the highest concentration of clay (along with sand and black volcanic basalt), which tends to result in richer, more fruit-forward wines. While many varieties are cultivated, Listán Blanco and Listán Negro account for roughly 90% of the vineyards. Other varieties include Gual, Malvasía, Verdello, Vijariego, Malvasía Rosada, and Negramoll. Quality is high in both white and red wines. Notable Bodegas: Suertes del Marqués, Tajinaste <h4>DO Ycoden-Daute-Isora</h4> Ycoden-Daute-Isora, named for the ancient tribes of the indigenous Guanches people that once occupied the islands, covers the northwest corner of Tenerife. This is one of the more humid parts of the island, and the soils are sandy clay over volcanic bedrock. Vineyards range from more beach-like, coastal areas to volcanic slopes at over 1,000 meters in elevation. The dominant grape is Listán Blanco, which covers roughly 70% of the vineyard land and is highly regarded for its quality.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/84/c4/a4/84c4a43be75a99556ff9608e63f55b37--wine-o-wine-country.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/84/c4/a4/84c4a43be75a99556ff9608e63f55b37--wine-o-wine-country.jpg' /></noscript> Listán Negro and Negramoll are the next most important varieties, and there are a handful of others as well. Several ancient vineyards exist on the mountain slopes, some of them accessible only by horse, donkey, or foot. Notable Bodegas: Envínate, Ignios, Viñátigo <h4>DO Abona</h4> Abona is a large DO that covers much of the south of the island. This appellation is especially influenced by Mount Teide, and its vineyards are the highest on Tenerife, stretching upwards of 1,600 meters. At such an elevation, the growing conditions are quite cool and snow is not uncommon. This is an extremely dry area, and the soils tend to feature sand, fractured rock, chalk, and clay. Here, 70% of production is dedicated to white wine, primarily Listán Blanco and the Malvasías, although Albillo and Verdello also perform well. For red grapes, the area is planted to Bastardo Negro, Listán Negro, Malvasía Rosada, and Tintilla. Though many vineyards are quite old, there have been some extensive recent cultivations, though these vines are still a few years away from producing fruit.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ep00.epimg.net/elpais/imagenes/2019/08/18/album/1566137939_282517_1566199877_album_normal.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ep00.epimg.net/elpais/imagenes/2019/08/18/album/1566137939_282517_1566199877_album_normal.jpg' /></noscript> Notable Bodegas: Altos de Trevejos, Finca Vegas <h4>DO Valle de Güímar</h4> The Valle de Güímar is, true to its name, a valley that stretches high up on the mountain slopes, and runs down almost to the coast. This is a small appellation for wine but an important region for agriculture, specifically bananas. As it is one of the hottest and driest parts of Tenerife, elevation is key for fine wine, and the best sites are located between 800 and 1,400 meters. Soils are largely volcanic in origin, with more sand on the lower slopes and clay up high. Both wineries and vineyards tend to be quite small, and white wines make up 65% of production. The main grapes of the appellation are Listán Blanco, Malvasía, Moscatel, Gual, Vijariego, Listán Negro, Negramoll, and Tintilla. <h3>The Other Islands</h3> Though Tenerife and Lanzarote are the most significant in terms of production, a handful of the other islands boast interesting historical traditions, old vine vineyards, and—perhaps most importantly—a largely untapped but serious potential for quality.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/euro-place.ru/upload/nedvizimost-kanarskie_ostrova.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/euro-place.ru/upload/nedvizimost-kanarskie_ostrova.jpg' /></noscript> <h4>La Palma</h4> La Palma lies in the northwest corner of the Canary archipelago. Due to its higher-than-average rainfall and bevy of natural springs, it is by far the most lush and green of the islands. Banana plantations and jungle groves intersect with sharply rising mountains and broad beaches, earning La Palma the nickname la isla bonita, or “the beautiful island.” Vines can be found up to 1,100 meters in elevation, challenging Tenerife’s claim of highest vineyards in Europe. Like much of the Canaries, the soils are volcanic in origin, with black ash concentrated in the south. La Palma is mostly known for its traditional Vinos de Tea, a rancio-style wine aged in pine barrels, which tastes like a cross between Retsina and Oloroso Sherry. This wine cannot be labeled as DO, and most is consumed locally. Malvasía is also important, and is produced in both dry and sweet, fortified styles. According to Spanish wine importer José Pastor, La Palma has great potential that few are exploiting.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/betterlatethannever.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Lanzarote-vinyard.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/betterlatethannever.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Lanzarote-vinyard.jpg' /></noscript> “A handful of people are making interesting wines, but they tend to be too small in scale to be commercially viable. Mostly by farmers. In general, you see a lot of abandoned vineyards on La Palma, as the younger generations don’t want to do the farming.” Notable Bodegas: Matias í Torres <h4>Gran Canaria</h4> Gran Canaria is one of the newest Canary Island DOs, established in 2000. It is an island-wide appellation that includes and replaces the former sub-appellation of Monte Lentiscal, which was granted in 1997. Gran Canaria is a sizable island with the second highest population after Tenerife. It is mostly known as a tourist destination, and the few interesting wines that are produced tend to be consumed locally. The landscape is dominated by a central, volcanic mountain which, like Teide on Tenerife, splits the island roughly in half. The southern end is quite warm and few quality wines are produced. The cooler north is more suited to fine wine, especially in the higher elevations, where vines are found up to 1,300 meters.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/LicGMhyrSe0/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/LicGMhyrSe0/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> The soils are a combination of volcanic material and chalk, with more sand along the lower slopes and more clay at altitude. The island is most famous for its classic sweet wines made from Moscatel and Malvasía, but the dry wines are more interesting. Though rarely exported, it is sometimes possible to find the wines of Frontón de Oro, which produces a range of bouncy, fresh, and lightly oaked reds—both a varietal Listán Negro and a charming blend of Listán Prieto, Negro, and Tintilla. Listán Blanco is the most important white variety on the island, along with Marmajuelo and Malvasía. Notable Bodega: Frontón de Oro <h4>La Gomera</h4> La Gomera is not particularly viticulturally significant. It is a steeply mountainous and windy island that is difficult to cultivate. Because of the challenging conditions, many of the vineyards that exist have been abandoned, as on La Palma. The most important variety is La Forastera, a white grape rarely seen on the other islands.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/lagoonca.vladland.com/0104summer2012/60.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/lagoonca.vladland.com/0104summer2012/60.jpg' /></noscript> Tajinaste makes a bright and melon-toned wine from this variety, which it brings by boat to the winery on Tenerife. Beyond this, La Gomera’s production is dominated by the local co-op, which tends to vinify late-harvested red and white grapes together to produce a high alcohol dry wine. Albillo, Listán Negro, and both Malvasías are also planted. <h4>El Hierro</h4> As with La Palma and La Gomera, El Hierro’s wine production declines slightly each year, as young people turn away from farming or island life all together. This is a shame, as José Pastor sees a good deal of potential in El Hierro. “El Hierro was historically known for dessert wine. A small group of vintners is working to save the vineyards, and some interesting wines are being produced, but on a small scale. So far, the local cooperative dominates production.” El Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands and the least mountainous. Its gentle slopes (up to 700 meters) are terraced and tend to feature volcanic, rocky, sometimes sandy soil.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev_pc8MXEAI8v3O.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev_pc8MXEAI8v3O.jpg' /></noscript> Over half of the island’s production is white—typically Vijariego or Listán Blanco—and a small amount of dessert wines are produced from Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel. The reds and rosés tend to be fresh and fruity and rely mostly on Baboso Negro, Listán Negro, and Negramoll. The wines are rarely seen off island. <h3>Recommended Producers</h3> The following are brief descriptions of the producers I visited in June 2017. It is not a complete listing of quality bodegas. Envínate (Tenerife) is one of the most outstanding producers in all of Spain, not just the Canary Islands. This unusual operation is run in tandem by four winemakers (Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez) who make wine from various corners of Spain: Extremadura, Galicia, and Tenerife. They hunt out singular, individualistic vineyards and create characterful wines that tend to be low in extraction but rich in personality and energy. Roberto Santana mans the helm at the Canary outpost; until 2015 he served double-duty as winemaker for the equally excellent Suertes del Marqués.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfu7hej3010jcmgh1bvbdmm1b_1000x700.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/albamargroup.com/media/images/news/thumbnails/o_1f7cfu7hej3010jcmgh1bvbdmm1b_1000x700.jpg' /></noscript> Envínate produces a range of wines, all vinified using native yeast and minimal sulfur, in concrete or neutral oak. The brand’s Canary production averages just under 6,000 cases a year—roughly half of their total, multi-regional output. The flagship wines are those in the Táganan series. These hail from an extremely remote vineyard in the DO Tacoronte-Acentejo that features vines well over 100 years old. They craft four bottlings from this parcel: a Blanco, a Tinto, and two block-specific wines, Parcela Amogoje and Parcela Margalagua (both white). The basic Blanco is a field blend of Albillo Criollo, Marmajuelo, Gual, and Malvasía that is kept on its skins for 12 days before pressing. The resulting wine is typically waxy, salty, and lemony with a bright chalky texture and long, tangy finish. The Tinto (Listán Negro, Listán Gaucho, Malvasía Negra, etc.) tends to be bright and fresh, with a spicy, peppery nose and a mouth full of raspberries. Because the vineyard is in a separate DO than the winery, Envínate labels the Táganans as “Vinos Atlánticos,” bypassing the catch-all Canary Islands DO.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev_pcvgXIAIWmH-.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev_pcvgXIAIWmH-.jpg' /></noscript> They also produce a Blanco and Tinto Benje from DO Ycoden-Daute-Isora. The red (95% Listán Prieto with 5% Tintilla) is focused and deep, with lifted, pure red fruit, a floral nose, and a chiseled finish. The white (Listán Blanco) is harvested from an isolated plot and subject to a 14-day skin contact. Sulfur is kept to a minimum, and the wine tends to be rich and exuberant, with creamy, slightly oxidized fruit, bright acid, and a saline, slightly tannic finish. A new product for them is the Vidueño de Santiago del Teide, which also hails from DO Ycoden-Daute-Isora. This is a light red produced by harvested and co-fermenting a field blend of Listán Prieto, Blanco and a little Tintilla. Both the wine’s process and its name is a nod to the historic blends of the Canary Islands’ early days in wine. The 2016 looked like a dark and hazy rosé, with a sweaty berry nose, moderate alcohol, and a light, bright body. Suertes del Marqués (Tenerife) started out as a grower, and the Lima family has been slowly amassing vineyards for the past 30 years.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/16/20/be/1620be7c9f2b7396f6cc2128dea6faf7--wine-label-art-bottle-labels.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/16/20/be/1620be7c9f2b7396f6cc2128dea6faf7--wine-label-art-bottle-labels.jpg' /></noscript> For decades, they sold all their fruit, but they made the jump to production in 2006. Since that time, they have established themselves as one of the top producers in the Canary Islands, if not all of Spain. Their main estate is in the heart of the DO Valle de la Orotava, a deathly steep and striking property planted in the ancient trenzado system. The winery makes just over 8,000 cases a year, the production of which is just as fragmented as their vineyard sources. The very name Suertes is a reference to the historically tiny backyard vineyards of Tenerife; and while the winery has managed to buy or lease 11 hectares of these minute vineyards, they purchase fruit from another 17 hectares of suertes. The view from Suertes del Marqués (Photo credit: Kelli White) It was their 2011 Vidonia that first turned me onto Canary Island wines. Several years ago, a small group of wine professionals were blinded on this wine. We were all very, very sure that it was a high quality white Burgundy.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1c/63/5d/1c635d37bda77113f87d001c3da276f3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1c/63/5d/1c635d37bda77113f87d001c3da276f3.jpg' /></noscript> Imagine our surprise upon discovering it was a Canary Island wine made from over 100-year-old, own-rooted Listán Blanco vines! The 2016 I tried at the estate was just as compelling—rocky and rich with a piercing acidity and a slightly flinty nose of oyster shells and yellow apples. Their Trenzado is a field blend of 95% Listán Blanco with Marmajuelo, Gual, Vijariego Blanco (aka Diego), Verdello, Pero Ximénez, and Baboso Blanco. The wine is fermented in a variety of vessels, with some skin contact, and a good amount of time on the lees. The result is a rich and yeasty, if slightly reduced, wine with a complex savory nose and mouth-watering acidity. Most of Suertes’ production, however, is dedicated to red wine. One of their priorities is to showcase the unique terroir of different vineyards in the Valle de la Orotava, and to that end they bottle five varietal Listán Negros: Candio, El Chibirique, Medianías, Ciruelo, and La Solana. For the 2016 vintage at least, the Medianías was medium-bodied and pale ruby in hue.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/dronestagr.am/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2015-12-Canary-Islands-Aerial-Fuerteventura-64-Pano-1024x576.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/dronestagr.am/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2015-12-Canary-Islands-Aerial-Fuerteventura-64-Pano-1024x576.jpg' /></noscript> The nose was bright and berry-laden, tinged with sweat and leather. The Candio was both spicy and elegant, with a leaner build and a nose of black pepper, strawberries, and mint. The Ciruelo was extremely aromatic, with aromas of bramble fruit, underbrush, strawberries, oolong, and oyster mushrooms. On the palate, it was high in both acid and tannin, with contained fruit and a chalky finish. El Chibirique, by contrast, was the most fruit forward, juicy, and herb flecked, though it also boasted noticeable tannins. Beyond Listán Negro, Suertes makes several red blends. El Esquilón is made from 70% whole-cluster Listán Negro with 30% destemmed Tintilla. The two vintages I tried (2015, 2016) were similar in that they were quite tannic, with the stems apparent on the nose. Los Pasitos is a varietal bottling of Baboso Negro, also made using whole cluster. The 2015 was gorgeous—an elegant, lifted wine that offered a mouth of crunchy red fruit and an herb-kissed floral nose. The 2016 was harvested quite a bit earlier and seemed a touch underripe, with a vegetal nose and a tart, tannic palate that recalled pomegranates.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/winetraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unusual-special-wineries-winetraveler.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/winetraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unusual-special-wineries-winetraveler.jpg' /></noscript> The 7 Fuentes, meaning “seven places,” is mostly Listán Negro with 10% Tintilla. The wine is a lovely but brooding thing, very dusty and tactile with a sweaty, red-berried nose and a touch of blood. Finally, their El Lance 7 Fuentes is a field blend of Vijariego Negro, Tintilla, Listán Negro, Baboso Negro, and Malvasía Rosada. The wine was pungent, meaty, with a dense wild strawberry core, significant tannin, and a moderate but perfectly balanced amount of acid. Altos de Trevejos (Tenerife) is a venerable Canary Islands establishment. From high up in the Abona DO, the Alfonso family made wine (often employing camels) from the 1880s until 1970. In 1970, they returned to simply selling grapes, but in 2013, Enrique Alfonso García resuscitated the winery. In a very short time, this brand has emerged as a quality leader on Tenerife. Their vineyards are located at around 1,300 meters in elevation, one of the coolest spots on the island. They work with several hectares of 120- to 150-year-old vines but have also begun aggressively expanding their holdings, converting former cereal fields to vineyards, complete with modern trellising.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/eventoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/miltiadis-fragkidis-kHQFMObkRSs-unsplash-e1574249343759-990x660.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/eventoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/miltiadis-fragkidis-kHQFMObkRSs-unsplash-e1574249343759-990x660.jpg' /></noscript> As they are the closest wine region to Mount Teide’s peak, they are in the process of developing a hospitality center and tasting room. Their hope is to capture some of the tourists on their way up or down from the peak. While this is hardly a radical idea, it is very forward-looking for the Canary Islands, where wine tourism has been slow to develop. The high altitude vines of Altos de Trevejos (Photo credit: Kelli White) So far, their production remains small, but they plan to grow. As of 2017 they make around 5,000 cases divided between seven wines: two sparkling wines, two whites, two reds, and a dessert wine. Their blanc Brut Nature is made via the traditional method using Listán Blanco. This wine spends one year on its lees, and the result is floral, crisp, and lightly autolytic. The rosé, which is made from Listán Prieto (also via the traditional method), is pale pink and slightly rustic. Its nose offers a combination of wild strawberries and sweat, and the palate is fruity but bone dry.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/younggunofwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Small-Island-Wines-James-Broinowski-1024x695.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/younggunofwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Small-Island-Wines-James-Broinowski-1024x695.jpg' /></noscript> Their Cepas Viejas Mountain White is an unoaked blend of 75% Listán Blanco with Malvasía. This is a lightly floral and zippy wine with notes of golden apple and cashews. The Altos de Trevejos Blanco is a thrilling 50/50 blend of Albillo and Verdello. This was an especially aromatic creation, more tropical and exotic than overtly floral. On the palate, it was broad and fleshy, but with great energy. The Trevejos Baboso Negro was one of the more modern and extracted reds I tried on the Canaries, though it still retained some freshness and character. Dark and concentrated, the wine offered significant tannins and a nose of cassis, licorice, white pepper, and tar. The Vijariego Negro was dark, smooth, and modern, with an exotic nose of brown spices and red flowers, and a soft dusting of tannin. The dessert wine, called Aromas, comes in what looks like a perfume bottle. This wine was produced by freezing and therefore concentrating Malvasía must, which was then fermented naturally to around 16% alcohol with 100 grams of residual sugar.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/icdn.lenta.ru/images/2017/05/26/13/20170526130045965/preview_5d95685c040543b7658ae0801b972ae5.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/icdn.lenta.ru/images/2017/05/26/13/20170526130045965/preview_5d95685c040543b7658ae0801b972ae5.jpg' /></noscript> While unctuous and floral, it was clean rather than cloying, with a nose of dried apricots and a cleansing acidity. Tajinaste (Tenerife) is run by winemaker Agustín García Farráis, a third-generation Canary Island vintner. Unlike most Tenerife winemakers, Farráis trained in Bordeaux. Perhaps because of this, his bodega and its wines are more international in feel, with a rather modern tasting room and wine shop, rows of stainless steel tanks, and clean, precise wines. They are also one of the larger wineries on the island, producing over 16,000 cases per year. Among their many wines, a few stand out. The Blanco is a delightful mixture of 90% Listán Blanco with Albillo Criollo. Following a 45-hour skin contact, the wine is fermented in steel but kept on its lees to build texture. The result is lemon-fresh and easy to drink, with a nose redolent of chamomile. The Paisaje de las Islas Malvasía Aromática y Marmajuelo is sourced from a vineyard in the Abona DO. Half of the Malvasía was fermented and aged in large, two- to three-year-old barrels, while the Marmajuelo saw only steel.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/FKM776aXsAUIRng.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/FKM776aXsAUIRng.jpg' /></noscript> The nose is rather floral and the wine is rich, with a medium acidity. The oak sticks out a bit at the moment, but that may resolve with more bottle age. Their most interesting white was the La Forastera Blanca, shipped over from La Gomera. This wine was broad and creamy, with an exotic nose of golden kiwi, marzipan, banana, and passionfruit. The Tajinaste Traditional red is made of Listán Negro from the Valle de la Orotava. A portion of this wine was aged in French and American oak for three months, and the result is dense and fruit-forward. The Vendimia Seleccionada also comes from the Valle de la Orotava. The grapes for this wine are harvested in several passes, with only the ripest fruit selected. This is one of their most modern wines, fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak for seven months. The wine is rich in body but with a tart acidity and a nose of white pepper, sandalwood, and strawberry jam. Their CAN, a 50/50 blend of Listán Negro and Vijariego Negro was similarly modern in feel, with a concentrated, tannic palate and a nose of ripe blackberries.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn.braze.eu/appboy/communication/assets/image_assets/images/614c98e3ac77c92ea676de56/original.jpg?1632409827" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn.braze.eu/appboy/communication/assets/image_assets/images/614c98e3ac77c92ea676de56/original.jpg?1632409827' /></noscript> As Tajinaste sources fruit from many appellations, most of their wines are bottled under the Canary Islands DO. Ignios Orígenes (Tenerife) and its sister brand Artífice were established in 2011 and 2014, respectively. They are the dominion of Borja Perez, who is a fourth-generation Canary Island winemaker. Ignios is produced from estate fruit, while Artífice is made from a combination of estate and purchased fruit. The total annual production is around 2,500 cases. Perez utilizes a natural approach to winemaking, with his only addition being a small amount of sulfur at bottling. I barrel-sampled the 2016s. The Listán Blanco, which was fermented in concrete after six days on its skin, was a wild, expressive wine with a nose of green tomatoes, golden apples, and cider. The palate was vibrant and tangy, with a creamy mid-palate and long salty finish. His two complex white blends were in an odd place at the time of tasting, but the varietal Marmajuelo was very nice.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/10/c1/8c/dc/photo8jpg.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/10/c1/8c/dc/photo8jpg.jpg' /></noscript> It offered a nose of white flowers, clove, and banana, with a light and fruity body. The reds were far more consistent. The Artífice Listán Negro was charming and light on its feet, with a floral, spicy nose of quince, red apples, and iron. The Baboso was playful and tart, a mouthful of fleshy cherry hard candy. Monje (Tenerife) is an important brand to the people of Tenerife. It is one of the oldest wineries (in operation since 1750), a fairly large producer, and one of the few to place considerable emphasis on attracting tourists and engaging the local community. Toward this end, current proprietor Felipe Monje has launched several eyebrow-raising initiatives such as “Wine & Sex,” a risqué but ultimately harmless party wherein aphrodisiacs are paired to their wines. The cellar looks its age, full of old foudres, blackened with time, and ancient stone walls. Monje produces a wide range of wines and while quality is a bit uneven and rustic, there were a few highlights.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/finca-bergmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/natur1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/finca-bergmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/natur1.jpg' /></noscript> My three favorites were all reds: the Tradicional, a peppery, punchy blend of Listán Negro and Negramoll; the Tintilla, a somewhat funky wine with midweight black fruit and chewy tannins; and a well-cellared 2008 Vijariego Negro, which was soft and fruity with a prune-like nose and a savory finish. Finca Vegas (Tenerife) was started by winemaker Anthony Weytjens in 2016. Weytjens, who grew up on the Canary Islands, recently returned home after years of working in Bordeaux (Petrus) and Napa Valley (Dominus, Hyde de Villaine, Atlas, Rudd, Tramuntana). His family owns a small bodega at around 600 meters in elevation in the Abona DO that is planted to Baboso Negro, Tintilla, and Syrah. Weytjens started small in 2016 with a rosé of Syrah and Tintilla. This was produced very much in the Provençal style: pale salmon in hue with delicate strawberry fruit and mouth-watering acidity. In 2017, he added barrel-aged Malvasía Volcánica, a Baboso Blanco (an extremely rare indigenous variety), and a Baboso Negro, which he handles gently à la Pinot Noir.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/d3i71xaburhd42.cloudfront.net/d3f173d24d750eb02b26dc173e4246e85fa6cc47/2-Figure1-1.png" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/d3i71xaburhd42.cloudfront.net/d3f173d24d750eb02b26dc173e4246e85fa6cc47/2-Figure1-1.png' /></noscript> Weytjens plans to grow both the rosé and Malvasía programs, and to continue seeking out unusual and exciting varieties and vineyards for his small lot series. Undoubtedly, his extensive international training and enthusiasm for the native varieties of his youth will yield some exciting wines. Los Bermejos (Lanzarote) is the largest producer on the island of Lanzarote (37,500 cases per year), and makes a range of high quality wines, 80% of which are white. The winery was founded by Ignacio Valdera roughly 25 years ago and has grown to become an impressively modern operation, which contrasts the island’s archaic farming practices. They craft an average of 13 different wines per year, but most of their production is dedicated to Malvasía. The Malvasía Seco is their largest volume wine, and they make both a “regular” and an organic version. The 2016s were creamy but not heavy, with vibrant acidity, and citric, floral noses (the organic Malvasía was a touch reduced, less aromatic, and longer).<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/allspain.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/kanary-apartamety-min.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/allspain.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/kanary-apartamety-min.jpg' /></noscript> The sparkling Malvasía was made via the traditional method and kept on its lees for three years. The result was a charming and irresistible wine, with a yeasty, floral nose, fine bead, and bone dry but fruity palate. I personally didn’t love the oak-aged Malvasía as the wood imprint was to strong, but the dessert wine, Malvasía Naturalmente, was terrific. Deep gold in hue, this late harvest wine was aged in a solera and was tropical (peach, pineapple), salty, and rich. In the white wine category, Los Bermejos also produces two Diegos, which are fermented and aged for four months in oak. The 2015 was more overtly oaky, but the 2016 was gorgeous. It was broad in the mouth but also chalky, with a nose of yeast, kiwi, and green apple. The rosé program is a real strength of the house, and they produce a traditional method sparkling and a still, both from Listán Negro. The still rosé is especially fine. It is made from dedicated clusters of early-harvested fruit, is very pale pink in hue, and offers a subtle combination of fruit, flowers, and earth.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/highonthoseheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_8686-1024x683.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/highonthoseheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_8686-1024x683.jpg' /></noscript> Their second dessert wine, the multi-vintage Moscatel Naturalmente Dulce, is produced from late-harvested fruit and manages to convey richness without feeling heavy. The color wine’s color was vibrant gold, and the nose evoked dried roses, honey, and champagne mango. Los Bermejos’ red wines are all composed of Listán Negro. One standout was fermented via carbonic maceration, and the result was redolent of a fruity Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage matched a pop of bright red fruit with an herbal, spicy, floral nose, a lean body, and chalky tannins. The more conventionally produced 2015 spent four months in barrel. It too was a touch green on the nose and concluded with an aggressive, tannic finish that was like biting into an underripe pear. Rubicón (Lanzarote) is a fascinating estate. This is one of the oldest wineries on Lanzarote, established in 1770, shortly after the eruption. The current owner, Don Germán López Figueras, purchased Rubicón in 1979.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1f/8f/fb/1f8ffbb122082b138582b4f568a2315c--wine-design-bottle-design.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/1f/8f/fb/1f8ffbb122082b138582b4f568a2315c--wine-design-bottle-design.jpg' /></noscript> He is in his 90s, but shuffled from hoyo to hoyo as if a teenager. In total, the winery produces nearly 17,000 cases, divided across eight bottlings. Of the wines, the Malvasía Seco was a standout. Lemon-scented, clean, and bright, it represents most of their production. The sweet Moscatel was also lovely, if a bit simple. As with Trevejos on Lanzarote, Rubicón freezes and concentrates the must prior to fermenting. They typically reserve this wine, adding drops here and there to enhance their dry wines, but in 2016 decided to bottle it on its own. Don Germán López Figueras holding “the other Rubicon” (Photo credit: Kelli White) 0026 Trying Suertes del Marques Trenzado Valle de la Orotava DO 2015. Trenzado – Braided. This is an assemblage of the varieties Listan Blanco and Vidueno, from vines of different sites, aged from 60 to 150 years. Fermentation and aging for 9 months in large barrels. Partial malolactic. The color is distinguished by a deep yellow-gold hue, with tints and shine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/thewrongwayhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/5406205680_a874db2306_b.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/thewrongwayhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/5406205680_a874db2306_b.jpg' /></noscript> The bouquet is a specific palette of herbaceous aromas, primarily various garrigues and aromatic herbs (anise, fennel, licorice, flowering shrubs). Some stone fruits: peach, apricot. The nutty motif is revealed in the background and complements the notes of aromatic resins and citrus fruits. On the palate, pleasant minerality and restrained acidity. Light oily texture gives the impression of softness. Alcohol – 13%. The body is average. Silicon shade, with a share of stones in the taste of dried aromatic herbs. In the aftertaste, a pleasant aftertaste of citrus and herbs. Long, durable, soft. A very specific but interesting wine, with good balance. Well conveys the volcanic character of the area, local terroirs and climate. Wine without heaviness, aggression, and density. The style tends to be light and gastronomic. The potential could reach 2028. Serve at 10°C with local (Spanish) cuisine, seafood paella, shellfish and fish dishes. Score – 16.5 / points.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/4.404content.com/resize/730x-/1/A3/BD/2111701331808880015/fullsize.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/4.404content.com/resize/730x-/1/A3/BD/2111701331808880015/fullsize.jpg' /></noscript> Tags: 16.5, 2015, White, Vidueno, Spain, Canary Islands, Listan Blanco, Tenerife world “purple wine” Reign (assemblage of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc), with… </li> <li> <h5> English Nouveau, as a result of the revival of English winemaking. </h5> In the past, the British rushed to bring Beaujolais Nouveau to the UK as quickly as possible.

I dreamed about this for half of my Scandinavian trip and the subsequent business trip to Belarus, watching how the damp haze hides Stockholm, Turku, Moscow and Minsk from me. Over the years, I became less able to endure the winter, and somewhere in November it became a necessity to get out into the sun. Well, that is, then I thought that the Canary Islands were about the sea and the sun, but it turned out that they were not, they were about volcanoes and mountain deserts.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/howtobuyinspain.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Canary-Islands-1024x640.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/howtobuyinspain.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Canary-Islands-1024x640.jpg' /></noscript> So, a short layover in Rome, a flight and now we are on our way to Tenerife, the largest and most developed island of the Canary archipelago (there are more than 7 islands in total). The first destination, set just to see something along the way, and not stupidly go to the hotel, was the wine museum in Tacoronte, a small settlement on the northern coast of the island. Despite the small size of Tenerife, there are four DOC wine areas, three on the north side of Tenerife, one on the south. All the Canary Islands are of volcanic origin, many where volcanoes were active until recently, and the soil there is quite specific. Actually, this is interesting in the application to wine. The saturation of the soil with minerals gives a very noticeable mineral flavor to the wine, which makes it unique among Spanish wines. Throughout the trip, we tried to drink only Canarian wines, although the price tag for them even in the supermarket started at 6 euros, delicious – about 10 (whereas more or less edible wine in Spain can be bought for 3).<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/img.youtube.com/vi/wOsI1ebnkuM/0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/img.youtube.com/vi/wOsI1ebnkuM/0.jpg' /></noscript> Well, in the wine museum they talked about this and not only, and, most importantly, they gave vouchers for a discount in a store where you could buy what was told about. In principle, local wine is sold everywhere there – from supermarkets to souvenir shops, but not everywhere there is a wide choice. When planning our stay in the Canary Islands, we initially wanted to live near the beach for a few days in Tenerife and spend time in the mountains in Gran Canaria. But what came as a surprise was that “next to the beach”, judging by the map and the opinion of Booking.com in Tenerife, is a relative concept. Well, that is, the distances there are the same as in the rest of the world (plus up / down, the concept of “flat surface” does not apply to the Canary Islands), but a narrow strip of black sand and huge boulders that the surf throws at you can be called a beach. In addition to this, it turned out that it becomes more or less warm by 11 in the morning, when we were already leaving, and in the morning, overcoming ourselves, despite the cold and do not want to go down at all, and in splendid isolation, risking our lives and dodging stones, climb into the icy water.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/lerablog.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/FRWFQRFQ-1024x503.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/lerablog.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/FRWFQRFQ-1024x503.jpg' /></noscript> Nothing can be done, the resort is a resort. The beaches turned out to be not Tenerife’s strong point at all (however, we didn’t drive all of it, maybe I’m wrong) – sand, in our understanding, is there only in selected places, where it was brought from Western Sahara, while the normal coast is steep cliffs, rocks and lava fields descending to the sea. No matter how these places are marked on the Google map. Therefore, by the way, in many cities on the sea there are pools with sea water, but we already understood this in the end. Nevertheless, feeling that the sea is splashing somewhere down there and sleeping to the sound of the surf is something that is so lacking in Moscow, and this was received to the fullest in inexpensive apartments in Icod de los Vinos.

I understand that this is a normal phenomenon – moist air masses rise from the ocean and fall as precipitation in the foothills of El Teide.

Large islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Palma, Gomera, Jerry. All the islands are divided into two provinces, they differ in terms of landscape and climate: the western province (the capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and the eastern province (the capital is Las Palmas). The highest point is the summit of the Teide volcano (3718 m), located on the island of Tenerife. Climate. In the Canary Islands, it is always evenly warm throughout the year – the average air temperature varies between 18-24 degrees. Such a mild and warm climate determines the proximity to the African continent, the warm Gulf Stream and the wind that blows across the ocean from the Sahara desert.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/images.robertharding.com/preview/RF/RH_M_RF/HORIZONTAL/396-7133.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/images.robertharding.com/preview/RF/RH_M_RF/HORIZONTAL/396-7133.jpg' /></noscript> Population.

It was usually not treated very well here, harvested late, tanned and sold in bulk, but in recent years it has been getting better, since the cooperatives were able to keep the old vines on the right terroirs. Of the oddities, it is worth highlighting DO Carinena, named after the Carignan born here, who lost the championship to the garnache, DO Campo de Borja, where the Borgia family came from, and DO Somontano higher in the mountains, where for some reason they relied on the Gewürztraminer variety. 982 year.

Previously, only reds and a little rosé were made here, but now white wines from the Albillo Major variety are also allowed. Worth a try: Emilio Moro Malleolus Emilio Moro Malleolus Toro is Ribera on steroids, with an even harsher climate and even more concentrated wines.

Of the flagship whites, it is worth remembering the sparkling trinity – sharello, macabeo (aka viura in Rioja), parellada; in reds, garnacha, cariñena and monastrell reign in the Mediterranean. costs Try : Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat in Monsante Slates, but there are almost there, and there are some kinds of graters, and in the estrics much thinner and more refined than in the Priory.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a future. Bobal, which was previously considered appropriate only for blends and bulk, in capable hands shows acidity, austerity, combined with a black berry character. Monastrell, which in France is called mourvèdre, here rarely rolls into animality, but gives tones of black berries, jam, chocolate and spices. No rusticity, just pure pleasure. And that’s not all: on the coast, one should not forget about malvasia and moscatel of Alexandria, from which they make both unexpectedly strict, dry wines, and luxurious sweet ones.

What is good about local garnacha? Extreme floweriness, fullness of the sun and light, and all this without undue heaviness. 9° is not possible. Here is a real reserve of Spanish and Portuguese varieties, because the phylloxera never made its way to the volcanic soils of the islands. Each of them has its own microclimate and character.

Another thing is Tenerife, where the Teide volcano, the highest point in Spain, is located. There are as many as 5 DOs on a small island, the most interesting ones are concentrated in the north. The palette of varieties includes more than a dozen, but the main ones are listan blanco (aka palomino) and listan tinto, a local autochthon born on the island. What can you compare Canary wines to? With nothing, even Etna is unlike these extremely volcanic and reductive, but flower-berry and very fresh wines. The main thing is not to rush, the first minutes, and sometimes hours, they smell exclusively of sulfur and a volcano.

Here, almost in its original form, all elements of rural Canarian life have been preserved: you will walk through the vineyard, observe the village animals and admire the ripe avocados, oranges and tamarillos in the lush orchard. Winemaking in Tenerife: discover and taste At the vineyard you will be met by a native Canarian, whose great-grandfather founded the Finca and planted the first grapes here. Who better can tell about the technology of local winemaking, which has not changed in the last hundred years? After a short digression into the wine history of Tenerife, you will taste aromatic Canarian wine, penetrate into the intricacies of its production and storage.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/be/a4/2e/bea42e1d4b7f0e9cb271cf255a662501--dessert-wine-the-canaries.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/be/a4/2e/bea42e1d4b7f0e9cb271cf255a662501--dessert-wine-the-canaries.jpg' /></noscript> Canarian Dinner!

I recommend to everyone! more It was a great walk around the island. While getting to the place of dinner, we looked at the island itself, then got to the tasting of delicious Canarian wines. In the company of our charming, cheerful, very sociable and friendly guide Olga, the time passed quite unnoticed. Olga showed everything, told, despite the fact that time was limited, we managed to run into the Church along the way and look at the Dragon Tree. The dinner itself was held in an incredibly pleasant atmosphere, everything was delicious, authentic and generally just wonderful. The Canarian rabbit from the owner of the farm – Patricio was just perfect. We got acquainted with the life of the Tenerife peasants, saw what a real, not popular (as is often the case on such excursions for tourists) farm looks like. Thanks to Olga for a wonderful walk.

This is my first post to the community. In it, I tried to summarize my impressions (these are just impressions, by no means tasting notes) about the Canary wines I drank during three visits to Tenerife.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/fd/5e/34/fd5e34956c87defca4027175f2c73ace--saveur-lanzarote.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/fd/5e/34/fd5e34956c87defca4027175f2c73ace--saveur-lanzarote.jpg' /></noscript> I don’t like sweet wines and don’t understand anything about them – that’s why there is no malvasia so beloved by many in my impressions (only one dry sample). Who cares – welcome under cat: [ Actually, cat ] First, some information. Several wine regions are comfortably located on the territory of the Canary Islands, while five islands – Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera – are separate wine regions with the same name to the islands (DO Lanzarote, DO Gran Canaria, DO La Palma, DO El Hierro and DO La Gomera), one island – Fuenteventura – did without a wine region at all, and on Tenerife there were already five of them – DO Abona, DO Ycoden Daute Isora, DO Valle De La Orotava, DO Tacoronte Acentejo and DO Valle De Guimar . The main red grape variety cultivated on the islands is Listan Negro. Of the whites, of course, the most famous malvasia. For some reason, manufacturers do not always print the varietal composition of wine on the label and back label.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/vashnarkolog.com/wp-content/uploads/a/4/5/a45afa1cdf2aea62cbf274155307b4e5.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/vashnarkolog.com/wp-content/uploads/a/4/5/a45afa1cdf2aea62cbf274155307b4e5.jpg' /></noscript> But in the case of red wine with a price in the region of 10 Euros (plus or minus), if the composition of the wine is not indicated, it can be considered with almost 100% certainty that the Negro could not do without listan. So 1. Los Guines , Cosecha 2011, DO Valle de la Orotava, grape variety not specified. It seemed a little watery, although the taste balance is generally not bad, and the aroma with a predominance of floral tones is quite good. 3.9 out of 5. At the same time, the harvest of 2010 is quite close to 4.1 2. Montijo blanko , Cosecha 2006, DO Valle de la Orotava, grape variety not specified. Quite a nice white, but since white is not my profile, I can’t say what I liked. 3.5 3. Tagaro , Cosecha 2008, DO Ycoden Daute Isora, grape variety – leaf negro. Tannins with a rough finish, slightly tannic, the wine is a little too assertive. But the taste is very pronounced, and the aftertaste is persistent.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/87/46/9e8746d602ffc009af6fb567b9027610.png" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/87/46/9e8746d602ffc009af6fb567b9027610.png' /></noscript> 4.1 4. Alba Sur , Cosecha 2009, DO Abona, grape variety not specified. Powerful taste, dominated by tones of strawberries and grapes proper. Very well. 4.3 5. Pico ChoMarcial , Cosecha 2011, DO Valle de Guimar, grape variety not specified. I didn’t remember anything. Totally average, unremarkable wine. 3.7 6. Sansofe , Cosecha 2011, DO Tacoronte Acentejo, grape variety – listan negro and negromol. The taste is something transparent and vegetable, as if they had added a cucumber. On the tongue – a slight tingling, as from gas. Very easy, pleasant and funny, just wine for every day. 4.0 7. Rubicon , Cosecha 2011, DO Lanzarote, grape variety – malvasia. I don’t know, I think I chose authentic Malvasia, Lanzarote. But either she really plays only in a sweet form, or the copy is not very successful, or everything is completely bad with whites for me.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/packageinspiration.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/005_LlanosNegros_DailosPerez.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/packageinspiration.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/005_LlanosNegros_DailosPerez.jpg' /></noscript> 3.5 8. Flor de Chasna Tinto Barrica , Cosecha 2011, DO Abona, grape variety not specified. You can repeat what he wrote about Tagaro. And the score is the same: 4.1 9. Arautava , Cosecha 2011, DO Valle de la Orotava, grape variety not specified. The price is average, the design is unassuming. And at the same time – definitely the best Tenerife wine that I have tried in three visits to the island. I had to buy a second time to understand if I was wrong. No, I’m not mistaken. Single vin, 4.6 10. Vina Arese , Cosecha 2011, DO Abona, grape variety not specified. A wine with character, but over-acidity and out-of-the-bottle balance. Decanting at least about 1 hour is required to make it at least acceptable. Grade 3.7 before decantation, and 4.0 after. 11. Calius , Cosecha 2007, DO Valle de Guimar, Listan Negro, Negramol. Strange wine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/media.winefolly.com/canary-islands-wine-regions-map-winefolly2-768x576.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/media.winefolly.com/canary-islands-wine-regions-map-winefolly2-768x576.jpg' /></noscript> Doesn’t look like 2007 at all. Light, transparent, cheerful – and at the same time the impression of being too young. I didn’t understand in general. 4.0 – and in this case, the assessment is honest from the bulldozer. 12. CAN , Cosecha 2011, DO Valle de la Orotava, Listan Negro grape variety, vihariego negro. Not worth 23 Euro. And that’s it. A small-scale wine published with pathos – and, probably, really very good. But damn, 23 Euros? 4.3 13. Fronton de Oro , Cosecha 2011, DO Gran Canaria, Listan negro grape variety, tintilla. For some reason I don’t remember him. If nothing is remembered – neither good nor bad – then the average. So – 4.0 14. Gran Mogaren Tinto Barrica , Cosecha 2008, DO Gran Canaria, Negro leaf grape variety. Overall, an excellent mature wine. Solid #2 after Arautava. 4.5 15. Monje Hollera , Cosecha 2012, DO Tacoronte Acentejo, Listan Negro grape variety.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/11/c3/73/11c373d9d2518f32dcc0688e58290bbd.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/11/c3/73/11c373d9d2518f32dcc0688e58290bbd.jpg' /></noscript> A clear outsider in this list. The concept of “balance” here, probably, does not exist at all. In addition, it is noticeably bitter. And besides bitterness, there are no other dominants in taste. 3.4 max. 16. Los Pelados tinto , Cosecha 2012, DO Valle de Guimar, grape variety not specified. A very poor looking bottle, you immediately expect a catch. However, inside it is a good wine. It is clear that it is very young, and “not bad” – only by Canarian standards, but … The taste is pronounced, the acidity is not raised, there do not seem to be any serious imbalances. Maybe even 4.1 pulls. 17. Presas Ocampo , Cosecha 2011, DO Tacoronte Acentejo, Listan Negro, Negramol, Castellana. A very common wine in Tenerife, and one of the cheapest local ones. Looks good, but nothing special. Some liquid. Well, at least it is not bitter, and the acidity is not lifted. Therefore, at the very least, but 4.0 can be delivered.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/gidtenerife.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Vina-Norte.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/gidtenerife.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Vina-Norte.jpg' /></noscript> 18. Vina Norte Tinto Barrica , Cosecha 2011, DO Tacoronte Acentejo, Listan Negro grape variety, Negramol. Pleasant, very well balanced wine. The assertiveness that betrays his youth does not spoil the impression. It is worth noting the very pleasant design of the bottle. The only tangible downside is that it’s expensive. 4.3 19. Vina Tamaide tinto , Cosecha 2012, DO Abona, Listan negro grape variety. The label promises some kind of “ecological fermentation”, on the back label it is deciphered what is meant: they say that the grapes for this wine are grown on sulfur-rich volcanic soils on the slopes of the Teide, and the production is adjusted in such a way as to emphasize the sulphurous-volcanic origin. Indeed, in the aroma of wine, light tones of sulfur are immediately guessed in the middle of a rather banal fruity base. The taste is simple, medium concentration (not too assertive), pleasant. In general, it is very original, and this is not the case when you have to put up with originality.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cinellicolombini.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/isole-canarie-vinicola-spagna-migliori-vini-portale-ricerca-cantine-vino-enoteche-exclusive-wine-1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cinellicolombini.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/isole-canarie-vinicola-spagna-migliori-vini-portale-ricerca-cantine-vino-enoteche-exclusive-wine-1.jpg' /></noscript> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-3914" class="post-3914 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miscellaneous"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/miscellaneous/alegranza-island-best-travel-tips-to-alegranza-canary-islands-for-your-first-trip.html">Alegranza island: Best Travel Tips to Alegranza, Canary Islands (For Your First Trip)</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: October 12, 2022 в 7:56 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/miscellaneous" rel="category tag">Miscellaneous</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>Alegranza island kingdom of spain canary islands Vector Image</h2> Alegranza island kingdom of spain canary islands Vector Image <ol itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList"> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> Royalty Free Vectors </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> Island Vectors </li> </ol> <h6>LicenseLearn More</h6> Standard You can use the vector for personal and commercial purposes.

The biggest surprises appear in the lesser known places. These 5 tiny islands, located north of Lanzarote, do not show all the magnificence that they hide at first. In order to find out, you will have to come and explore. The only way to get there is by embarking on a ferry from the Órzola port, a little village in the north of Lanzarote. The boat will take you to La Graciosa in just 15 minutes. This is the only inhabited island of the archipelago. Over 90% of its territory is still immaculate. If you want to go over the island barefoot, you can do so on its streets covered in sand. There aren’t any paved roads on the island. La Graciosa Island From there, it is easy to see the rest of the archipelago. The biggest Marine Reserve of Europe is settled around this area. There are more than 70,000 hectares of crystal-clear waters to enjoy the fauna.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/traland.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ostrov-krepost-spinalonga.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/traland.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ostrov-krepost-spinalonga.jpg' /></noscript> Nattule recommends 3 dive spots you should not miss in Chinijo, plus 2 alternatives out of the water. Here are the 5: 1. Montaña Amarilla The Montaña Amarilla Volcano rises up by la Cocina Beach, a tiny cove of turquoise waters, located southwest of La Graciosa. From Caleta de Sebo, one of the two villages of the island (the only one with accomodations available), there are several different paths leading to this area where you can walk or bike along. The easiest way to get there is by boat, specially if you are carrying your diving equipment. La Cocina Beach © César García Next to the beach, we find a cape called Punta del Pobre. Close to it, there is a small reef running perpendicular from the coastline. In some areas, it goes down to about 20 meters deep. Between the rock chips that form this vertical wall, you will see a wide variety of fishes.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/static.tildacdn.com/tild3662-3131-4165-b465-333231636332/1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/static.tildacdn.com/tild3662-3131-4165-b465-333231636332/1.jpg' /></noscript> Among others, you will find red mullets, barred hogfish and slipper lobsters. If you are an expert diver and get to the base of the small reef, you may be able to see how the water filtrations affect the sand in the deep waters. Another gift from mother nature in La Graciosa. Bottom of the sea in La Graciosa © Jairo Díaz 2. Alegranza Alegranza is the second largest island of the archipelago and is the most northern point of the whole area. The island is uninhabited, so it is a paradise for birds. In order to dive in its waters, you need an authorization issued by the Canarian Government, and you need to dock your boat at a certain distance. If you want to walk on its beaches, you will need authorization from the island owner, and you must not cross its boundaries. When approaching by boat, the first thing you will notice will be the magnitude of the Caldera Volcano, whose 1.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/ka-ap.ru/wp-content/uploads/7/3/c/73c98f4ae561e56c001da8cb1a3d326d.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/ka-ap.ru/wp-content/uploads/7/3/c/73c98f4ae561e56c001da8cb1a3d326d.jpeg' /></noscript> 3 kilometer crater occupies a large area of the island. Alegranza Island from Lanzarote If you go scuba-diving there, you can consider yourself privileged. Since fishing is forbbiden in the area, fishes reproduce easily. You will find a large number of them and a wide variety. The shallow areas are a beehive of life, where seaweed formations harbor lots of fish species, sea urchins and starfishes. Wrasses like the ornate wrasse and barred hogfish, as well as a type of parrot fish with attractive colors, are quite abundant here. Near the sandy depths you will also find red mullets looking for food with its tactil barbels. Alegranza is a unique shelter for many seabirds, like the Bulwer’s petrel and different species of storm petrels. Along with Cory’s shearwater, they form numerous colonies taking advantage of the cavities and rocky formations to nest there during summer months. Seabirds in Chinijo Archipelago © Ulises Viera Some lesser known raptors may be seen, like the owl and the kestrel, some of which have endemic subspecies living on the Canary Islands.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/motellook.ru/wp-content/uploads/f/4/1/f4185bba203a43f1d93bdb86d552b314.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/motellook.ru/wp-content/uploads/f/4/1/f4185bba203a43f1d93bdb86d552b314.jpeg' /></noscript> 3. El Canal Twenty five meters deep, between the island of Alegranza and the Roque del Oeste Islet, we find a continental platform that goes 40 meters deep. Its cavities harbor a large number of animals. If you dive there you will see groupers, island groupers and greater amberjacks. In the depths surrounding the islet, we also find ballan wrasses, which are very difficult to see in other areas of the archipelago. Red, white and yellow gorgonians add color to this amazing marine landscape. Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste and Alegranza © Jesús Salcines 4. Montaña Clara Canarian waters are known for harboring a great number of cetacean, that you will be able to see during a pleasant boat ride. Boat tours depart from the Órzola port. The tours are very complete, and cover almost the whole archipelago. The boats head first to Alegranza, to then turn towards the little island of Montaña Clara.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/motellook.ru/wp-content/uploads/2/0/7/2079d2f21828c283ec00703f73a8cdbd.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/motellook.ru/wp-content/uploads/2/0/7/2079d2f21828c283ec00703f73a8cdbd.jpeg' /></noscript> This islet of volcanic origin is known for its yellowish color, given by the tuffs that compose it. Montaña Clara from La Graciosa © Alessandro Bovo Like in Alegranza, the island is a private property and you will need authorization to visit it. Along the journey, you will sail among pilot whales and different dolphin species, like the bottlenose dolphin, the common dolphin or the striped dolphin. Pygmy sperm whales are common but difficult to see. Even killer whales have been seen here. 5. Haría In addition to the paths in La Graciosa Island, there are many other routes to walk or bike in the north of Lanzarote. They are mainly in the Haría and Famara area, one of the bushy territories of the island. You can walk around the quaint villages of Guinate and Máguez, or go visit the mirador del Río, a natural balcony with amazing views. From there, you can spot a multitude of birds, many of which are protected species.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/exoticluxurycat.ru/wp-content/uploads/d/2/c/d2c4ae687efa70b9b665fc1da3e713bd.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/exoticluxurycat.ru/wp-content/uploads/d/2/c/d2c4ae687efa70b9b665fc1da3e713bd.jpeg' /></noscript> Just like in Alegranza, some of those birds have found here one of the few only places that they will nest in the whole world. Paragliding in the mountain range of Famara You’ll be able to observe Cory’s shearwater and the amazing osprey, known locally as guincho. Another interesting bird to watch is the Egyptian vulture, known locally as guirre. Just like in Alegranza, this spot is one of the last ones where you can find barbary falcons, Eleonora’s falcon and the scant Canarian raven. In addition to birds, you may also see reptiles like the Atlantic lizard and the East Canary gecko.

He explained that “Light Mountain, which is part of a nature reserve spread over several islands and on which no construction is allowed, is for sale by its owners, descendants of Mariano Lopez Socas, former mayor of the village of Aria on the island Lanzarote, who acquired the island 50 years ago.” At the same time, he stressed that “most likely, the Spanish state will want to acquire the island, although no applications have been received from it yet.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/19/24/43_big.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/19/24/43_big.jpg' /></noscript> ” He added that “the operation to sell the island could take from ten months to a year, since such a transaction is not typical in Spain, where there are practically no islands in private ownership.” The Canaries archipelago consists of seven large islands (Hierro, Gomera, Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuenteventura and Lanzarote) and six small islands (Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montagna Clara, Roque del Este y Roque del Oeste). The main occupation of the population of the archipelago is serving vacationers and tourists from mainland Spain and Western Europe. <ul> <li> real estate </li> <li> Islands </li> </ul> Found a typo?

The distances between the islands are greater than in Croatia, so the ideal option is to rent a boat for at least 14 days. The Balearic Islands will delight you with its untouched nature, beautiful harbors and deserted beaches. Young people will appreciate the nightlife in Ibiza. A separate chapter of sailing in Spanish waters is Canary Islands where you will experience truly challenging ocean travel. Spanish mainland will be of particular interest to those who want to combine a holiday on a yacht with the study of Spanish culture and mood. <h3> Balearic Islands </h3> Balearic Islands is a wonderful sailing region with beautiful nature, beaches and marvelous harbors full of history.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/foreignpolicyi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Catalina-Island-870x576.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/foreignpolicyi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Catalina-Island-870x576.jpg' /></noscript> It consists of the Balearic Islands proper (the islands of Mallorca, Menorca and several smaller islands and islets such as Cabrera) and the Pitius Islands (the islands of Ibiza, Formentera and a few other islands). Each of the three main islands – Mallorca , Menorca and Ibiza – is a separate area for sailing. The weather here is stable, and this is the place with the longest sailing season in the entire Mediterranean (similar to Sicily or the southern coast of Turkey). The yachting season in the Balearic Islands lasts from April to the end of October. There is a relatively large distance between the islands, so if you sail here, you are unlikely to move from one island to another. This is not a place for beginners, because when the champagne wind blows in Balearic , it’s really worth it. The weather can be extremely challenging and the sea waves can be very nasty.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> This can be an advantage – with strong winds, you can circle all three islands in a week. But in summer the weather in the Balearic Islands is relatively stable. <h3> Mallorca </h3> Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and is where you will find the most charter companies and boats. Mallorca combines everything we love about sea travel: beautiful nature, rich history, coves, beaches, small harbors and neighboring islands. Palma de Mallorca is a magnificent medieval city and harbor that has been important since the days of Ancient Greece. Nature Reserve Cabrera and National Park are definitely recommended. It is located in the south of Mallorca, the entrance there is by permission and is paid, but it’s worth it. This is an ideal place for snorkeling and diving with equipment. <h3> Menorca </h3> Menorca – a harsh island with endless virgin bays and heavenly beaches, more than Mallorca and Ibiza combined.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/obshe.net/upload/000/u10/40/3a/84659180.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/obshe.net/upload/000/u10/40/3a/84659180.jpg' /></noscript> Most of these beaches are unspoiled and only accessible from the sea. For yachtsmen, this is truly an ideal island for swimming and bathing. In the north of the island, beaches tend to be golden red, while the south coast is dotted with white sand beaches. The natural diversity of the island allows you to admire endemic species. In addition to beaches and impressive nature, Menorca has cities that tell many stories about its interesting past. The cities Ciutadella and Mahon are worth visiting. Island Ibiza is an entertainment and nightlife center ideal for young people. Renting a boat can also be seen as a form of relatively cheap accommodation compared to Ibiza hotel prices. <h3> Formentera </h3> Neighboring Formenterais is the exact opposite of Ibiza.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It is untouched, beautiful and only accessible by boat. It is famous for its white sandy beaches, azure Caribbean-like sea and amazing tranquility. It is rightly called the last Mediterranean paradise. <h3> Canary Islands </h3> Canary Islands is a very demanding and affordable year round sailing destination. They offer unique experiences and challenges, but only truly experienced sailors or crews led by an experienced skipper will be able to take part in the competition. Sailing around the islands of La Palma, El Hierro or La Gomera is already a truly challenging ocean sailing experience. Each of the islands of eternal spring enchants us with completely different natural landscapes. Fuerteventura strewn with long sandy beaches, the island of red volcanic rock Lanzarote turns green only in February and March, jagged and steep Tenerife shows snow-capped peaks. Gran Canaria is literally a miniature continent.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Here you can find everything from dry desert landscapes to tropical forests. Three other small islands – La Palma, Gomera and Hierro – with their secluded beaches and protected nature are already absorbed by the wild Atlantic. You can sail from Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria or Tenerife. The most interesting cruise promises to be the route from Gran Canaria or Tenerife towards the islands of Gomera, Hiero and La Palma. Islands that lie far from tourism, islands with beautiful and wild nature, washed by the ocean. This is a challenge that is impossible to resist. <h3> Spanish Mediterranean coast </h3> <h3> </h3> </h3> The Mediterranean coast of Spain also offers many interesting places, but it cannot compete with the Balearic and Canary Islands. The most interesting, of course, is the coast Costa del Sol between Malaga and Cadiz.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> It is believed that the sun shines here three hundred days a year, and the sea is the color of an emerald. And from the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar, you can go to the Atlantic and get into another world of sailing. A world of strong tides, currents, big waves and strong winds. And to wild beauty Atlantic coast of Spain. Sailing south around Costa del Azajar (orange blossom coast) and Costa Blanca (from Valencia to Alicante) is more interesting than the Costa Brava. We enjoy sandy and pebbly beaches and a varied coastline. The flat and calm coastline is punctuated by steep cliffs, large bays and tiny secluded coves. The watchtowers are reminiscent of the pirate raids of the past, and the picturesque fishing harbors invite you to relax. The Catalan coast from Barcelona north to France, known as Costa Brava (The Wild Coast), is replete with beaches and hotel resorts, but not as attractive to yachtsmen.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> However, Barcelona yacht charter will give you a unique opportunity to discover a city full of modern architecture, monuments and bustling city life with street music and famous tapas bars. You can sail along the Catalan coast enjoying the sun and tranquility on board a sailboat with family or friends. Barcelona’s location also makes it a good base for sailing to the Balearic Islands. <h3> Weather and climate in Spain </h3> The climate of Spain is very diverse. The east and south of the country are very warm, sunny, with minimal rainfall. Winters are mild here. The north coast is quite cold and there is a lot of rainfall. Average air temperature is about 25 °C in summer and 15 °C in winter. <ul> <li/> The Spanish islands are very different from the rest of Spain.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cf1-static.cybo.com/wikiphotos_2016_05_10_13_16_21/0b/19/0b19cf4e46225d63677ecc532f2447b195f2afcd/19389874_Casas_de_Pedro_Barba_2592_1944.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cf1-static.cybo.com/wikiphotos_2016_05_10_13_16_21/0b/19/0b19cf4e46225d63677ecc532f2447b195f2afcd/19389874_Casas_de_Pedro_Barba_2592_1944.jpeg' /></noscript> The <li> Canary Islands have a subtropical climate with </li> very high summer temperatures and minimal rainfall.

Menorca: channel 68.

Sailing can be made very difficult by the mistral, strong or gale-force cold winds. Such winds are most frequent and strong in winter and can reach Grotto, unlike, for example, the Croatian Jugha, does not come gradually, but very sudden and may last for several days . Therefore, boaters should closely follow the weather forecasts in this area . Trade winds regularly blow in the Canary Islands . However, seemingly ideal conditions for navigation are complicated by the presence of acceleration zones . They are created by very high mountains on the islands. There are many calm places in the sea around the islands (the so-called wind shadow), as well as places where the wind is stronger than in the surrounding area (the so-called acceleration zones).<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/dOuJQQbiujyqE6AWp3J7WJvi3c0=/900x608/media/img/photo/2020/05/wisconsin-photos/a10_1644590629/original.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/dOuJQQbiujyqE6AWp3J7WJvi3c0=/900x608/media/img/photo/2020/05/wisconsin-photos/a10_1644590629/original.jpg' /></noscript> Moreover, the wind strength in the acceleration zones changes very quickly – a sharp increase from 5 BF to 8 BF is not something that will please a sailor. <h3> Gastronomy in Spain and specialties of Spanish cuisine </h3> Spanish cuisine is colorful, aromatic and very diverse, with different styles and combinations of ingredients varying from region to region. Fish and salads predominate on the coast, meat dishes and thick soups predominate in the hinterland. Mostly fresh ingredients are used, and the frequent use of olive oil and garlic is common throughout. The main ingredients include fish, seafood, meat, fresh vegetables (potatoes and tomatoes are popular), fruits, herbs, saffron, hot peppers, rice and olives. Spaniards also love stews, grilled meats, cured sausages and hams. Paella – delicious saffron risotto in a special huge pan in which it is prepared and served, very often this preparation can be seen right on the streets.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/anapa-resort.ru/wp-content/uploads/e/2/7/e2730f1bf457d37883248902efcb5a8f.jpeg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/anapa-resort.ru/wp-content/uploads/e/2/7/e2730f1bf457d37883248902efcb5a8f.jpeg' /></noscript> There are many variations – you can add meat, vegetables or seafood. Arros negre is a black seafood paella dyed with cuttlefish ink for a unique flavor. Gazpacho – refreshing cold soup made from mixed tomatoes, garlic and other vegetablesTapas – any small treat. A plate of tapas can include delicious olives, mouth-watering cheeses, fried cuttlefish, sausage, pickled or fried vegetables, anchovies, meatballs, seafood, and other goodies. Tortilla de patatas – special thick omelette cooked in butter with eggs, potatoes and onions. Cozido (or also puchero, olla podrida, caldereta, frite, cocido, caldo, marmitako) – one pot dish. Each region has its own special recipe. Canarian gofio is a porridge made from roasted wheat or corn flour. Moho is a sauce made from oil, vinegar, salt, garlic, and various herbs and spices.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/materiki.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/%D0%9F%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BA%D1%8D%D1%80%D0%BD.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/materiki.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/%D0%9F%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BA%D1%8D%D1%80%D0%BD.jpg' /></noscript> Pork in various forms dominates the cuisine of the Balearic Islands. National dish – lehona, grilled pig. Try the traditional sobrasada, a spicy sausage that can be spread on bread. <h3> Important Sailing InformationSpain </h3> has decent sailing infrastructure , reasonable prices and a very long sailing season. We recommend book marinas in advance , especially in high season. During the high season, the marina you need may be fully booked or available for an inadequate fee. It is also recommended to rent a current pilot book for your cruise. Beware of bad parking, in particular Ibiza is notorious for its fines. In the Balearic Islands, the public marinas Ports IB are generally much cheaper than other commercial marinas. Parking Ports Ib can book and pay online.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/imgs-akamai.mnstatic.com/f5/45/f5459bdead257b8a828c368b3feb7392.jpg?quality=75&format=pjpg&fit=bounds&width=980&height=880" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/imgs-akamai.mnstatic.com/f5/45/f5459bdead257b8a828c368b3feb7392.jpg?quality=75&format=pjpg&fit=bounds&width=980&height=880' /></noscript> You can also use the CBBA marine buoy system. <h3> Diving in SpainCanary Islands </h3> will conquer the heart of every diver. Visibility here usually exceeds 30 meters, and the water temperature, even in winter, never drops below 20 °C. You can enjoy spectacular diving among rocks and reefs of volcanic origin. Compared to the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic is much more diverse : colorful fish, giant porpoises, tunas, barracudas, eels, octopuses and turtles can be found here. There are also frequent pods of dolphins , and occasionally whales or manta rays can be seen. An unforgettable experience diving in the natural and marine reserve of Lanzarote, which consists of part of the northwest coast and the islands La Graciosa , Montaña Clara and Alegranza .<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/EAGeEy6XsAAgb4I.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/pbs.twimg.com/media/EAGeEy6XsAAgb4I.jpg' /></noscript> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-4830" class="post-4830 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miscellaneous"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/miscellaneous/quinta-roja-hotel-la-quinta-roja-una-forma-natural-de-vivir.html">Quinta roja: Hotel La Quinta Roja | Una forma natural de vivir</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: October 12, 2022 в 7:02 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/miscellaneous" rel="category tag">Miscellaneous</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>Hotel La Quinta Roja THe Senses Collection, Garachico – Updated 2022 Prices</h2> Skip to main content <ul> <li>Info & prices</li> <li>Facilities</li> <li>House rules</li> <li>Guest reviews (327)</li> </ul> Located in Garachico, this restored 16th-century mansion is the historic home of the Marquis of Quinta Roja it is just 50 m from natural swimming pools on the coast of Tenerife.

What la Quinta del Buitre and their teammates are doing now0001 </h2> You may find it funny, but long ago the Real Madrid academy was the envy of the world and was known as La Fabrica. It was the 80s, a time darkened by the politics of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, but blissful thanks to the films of Steven Spielberg.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/firstclassspirits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/granrojogarnacha-fcs.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/firstclassspirits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/granrojogarnacha-fcs.jpg' /></noscript> And it was this time that became one of the most successful in the history of the club for the “creamy” due to a record series of victories in the home championship. In total, Madrid have won five La Liga titles in a row, a Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups. As in all fairy tales, the great heroes were nicknamed: la Quinta del Buitre – “The Vulture’s Five”. At the time, Julio Cesar Iglesias, a journalist from the Spanish newspaper El País, wrote an article about a young and talented team that would lead Real Madrid’s second team, Castilla, to new titles. Star striker Emilio Butragueño, long and lean, he scored goals relentlessly, like a vulture tearing a piece of flesh from his victim. “Butra” sounds like the Spanish word “Buitre”, hence the striker’s nickname. By bolstering the offense with the grace of Emilio Butragaño and the intensity of Hugo Sanchez, Real Madrid didn’t just win every match: they ran through the teams like an unstoppable locomotive that didn’t require a driver.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/28298007_1eu4j7KEvZd2c4knKJfHNRZZwZh5Py1SRGbQ6hMx2Xk.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/28298007_1eu4j7KEvZd2c4knKJfHNRZZwZh5Py1SRGbQ6hMx2Xk.jpg' /></noscript> Play with a defensive midfielder? To nothing. However, despite winning two UEFA Cups, the Champions League crown was not given to Madrid. A quick game without defense in La Liga can’t compare to two dramatic exits from the knockout round of the Champions League. Some Madrid fans are saddened that la Quinta never lifted the European Cup, but those who saw them will never forget the irresistible energy and aggression of its players. At any moment in any match, a tsunami of goals could appear. All you had to do was hold your breath and wait. Emilio Butragueno In his debut match for Real Madrid, the Vulture scored a double against Cadiz and did not stop there. In the first European game, Emilio scored three goals against Anderlecht. Butragueño was a classic striker whose performance was not very high. However, he combined lightning-fast acceleration with daring dribbling and unfathomable cunning. He was a Spanish mix of Romario and Ronaldo.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/8112888_cuSq_aZ8-_cukv4e1xeApYvEenfRmGsFnjWhVNmptsE.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/8112888_cuSq_aZ8-_cukv4e1xeApYvEenfRmGsFnjWhVNmptsE.jpg' /></noscript> And Emilio could always take the time to slow down, find his inner balance and use his right foot to make a neat shot into the far corner. In 1988, a video game was even released named after Butragueño – “Emilio Butragueño ¡Fútbol!”. After the Vulture ended his playing career, he stayed at Madrid but switched from his boots to a suit and tie. His roles at the club have alternated, and now Butragueño is one of the directors at Real Madrid and his duties include public relations, which he handles with tact and grace. Hence his second nickname “El Caballero Blanco” – the White Knight. Hugo Sánchez Hugo Sánchez arrived in Spain when he was signed by the Royal Club’s neighbor Atlético Madrid. The Mexican striker scored so many goals that Real Madrid couldn’t help but buy him. If Emilio found his victim alone, then Hugo Sanchez was the classic touch hitter. He won over the fans thanks to the incessant movement across the field.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/60824293_G7VW4igIyt1Xpzo8f-9XqdiV3TzW7-byk-IJkJvFmkw.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/60824293_G7VW4igIyt1Xpzo8f-9XqdiV3TzW7-byk-IJkJvFmkw.jpg' /></noscript> Hugo was a great, curly-haired Mexican player who starred in a toothpaste commercial and celebrated goals with flips. Sanchez has won the Pichichi award five times, one Golden Boot and 164 nets in 207 La Liga games. Hanging up his boots, Hugo Sanchez returned to Mexico and eventually became the coach of his hometown club UNAM Pumas. Together they won two Mexican championship titles in a row, and then he was appointed head coach of his national team. However, things went horribly for the Tricolors. Like most Mexican managers, Hugo Sanchez was sacked early in his career with the national team, but regained his managerial reputation by taking charge of Almería and helping the small Spanish club avoid relegation to the Segunda. Hugo Sanchez is currently a commentator for ESPN. In addition, the Mexican is a rather versatile person: before becoming a footballer, Hugo graduated from the university and was close to becoming a dentist. Martin Vazquez Simply put, Vazquez was the worst nightmare for an opposing goalkeeper.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/190572__AzlynBSLjxKSpL7WOGRAfX5SiguGWrlyUrlraOG5o4.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/190572__AzlynBSLjxKSpL7WOGRAfX5SiguGWrlyUrlraOG5o4.jpg' /></noscript> He was very fond of using his right foot during dribbling and shooting. Martin has always been very cunning, easily deceiving defenders and carving out space for a strike. Vazquez always lowered his bearded face to the field, took aim and shot, as if he was firing a rifle shot, which always slipped into the bottom corner from the goalkeeper. His strength and accuracy were amazing. Vasquez left Madrid and enjoyed the end of his playing career in France and Italy. He then returned home to Madrid and coached the youth teams of the Royal Club. Until now, Martin can demonstrate what he is capable of during the games of the veterans. Michel You can judge the talent of a football player by the length of his nickname: the fewer syllables, the better. As for Michel, he was everything you want in a classic winger: he ran as fast as he could back and forth across the playing field, his passes were flawless and he was a physically perfect player.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/60824293_IVOHrRlNBTiv-BKCGOMsmu1YAOI2oplC_q9IpkTAb7A.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/60824293_IVOHrRlNBTiv-BKCGOMsmu1YAOI2oplC_q9IpkTAb7A.jpg' /></noscript> Moreover, Michel was once punished for grabbing Carlos Valderrama by the genitals. After leaving the field, Michel wrote a column for Marca, appeared on television for RTVE and finally tried his hand as a coach, but stumbled with Castilla and the team was relegated from the Segunda. But Michel kept moving on: he even headed Sevilla for one year, then won the Greek championship at the helm of Olympiacos, and recently, in April of this year, he was fired from the post of head coach of Marseille, but it is expected that that in the near future he will find a job again. Miguel Pardesa Miguel (pictured second from left) was a member of Quinta del Buitre, but most likely was only a minor component in this nickname. Yes, he came from the Madrid academy and played for Castilla with Emilio and company, but Pardesa did not play many games for the Madrid first team. After playing in 28 matches in three years, he moved to Real Zaragoza.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/371283282_viqulotLXj00EzAck1_L4Mof3Coq3Lfhl_AjbqM6PTM.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/371283282_viqulotLXj00EzAck1_L4Mof3Coq3Lfhl_AjbqM6PTM.jpg' /></noscript> Having retired as a footballer, Pardesa became sporting director of Zaragoza before being brought back to Madrid by Florentino Pérez during his second term as president. In 2014, Miguel Pardesa was sacked, and in order to pacify Jose Mourinho, the position of sporting director became vacant again after the restructuring of the club. Manuel “Manolo” Sanchis and Miguel Porlan “Chendo” Yes, la Quinta played well in many matches without a defensive midfielder, but, contrary to belief, had a few good defenders. Like many teams in the 80s, Real Madrid eschewed a defensive balance and favored a free-back/libero formation: Manuel Sanchis played in this position, in 18 years he appeared in 523 La Liga games. Sanchis played only for Madrid and was the captain of the “creamy” for 13 years. He now appears frequently on RTVE as an expert and also lasts for Marca. Of course, he has been criticized for being biased against the Royal Club, but after over 500 games, you would be biased as well.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/20272077_alveYqxoUqIKGKqxZOtbTq4CCIYooqqVcJjgUIHZvmg.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/20272077_alveYqxoUqIKGKqxZOtbTq4CCIYooqqVcJjgUIHZvmg.jpg' /></noscript> Same? like Manolo, that team’s right-back Miguel Porlan “Chendo” also spent his entire career at Real Madrid. For 16 years he has played in 363 La Liga meetings. His forays did not bring many goals, but he always went forward to support the attack and cluttered the right flank. Perhaps the highlight of his career was the Real Madrid-Napoli match, when Chendo prevented Maradona from playing his football. Having finished his playing career, he worked and continues to do so as a match delegate for Madrid. Francisco (Paco) Buyo Madrid fans often forget about Paco because of the abilities of Iker Casillas that were revealed later. But, nevertheless, Buyo was a pretty good goalkeeper. If San Iker relied on incredible reflexes and lane play, then Buyo was distinguished by positioning, patience and tenacious fingers. With the exception of some too hard shots, Paco often took the ball in his hands instead of hitting it, thus preventing rebounds and rebound goals.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/U8XYYUPppdeghyCHxpcFnuNNdckSH_71OQjJL5V1Lfc.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/U8XYYUPppdeghyCHxpcFnuNNdckSH_71OQjJL5V1Lfc.jpg' /></noscript> He played 11 seasons at Madrid, winning 6 La Liga titles. After his playing career, Paco became something of a renaissance man. He occasionally appears on the Al Jazeera channel, had his own personal blog on El Pais, played for the Madrid veterans’ team and is said to have his own artificial turf business. Bernd Schuster Just when the Barcelona fans thought things couldn’t get any worse, Madrid stole German playmaker Bernd Schuster from them. Of course, there was a lot of animosity between Schuster and Barcelona: the club was caught signing players on double contracts at low wages to avoid paying taxes. Schuster publicly announced this case, calling for other blue garnet players to follow his protest. After this scandal, Madrid happily signed Schuster, and the German instantly helped the team’s already strong attack. Bernd’s high-speed runs from midfield were paired with a cannonball kick from the right foot, usually playing free kicks with Hugo Sanchis.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/12466478_Q5s8m1KeX3E25uGrmad6lI4oTioMkDwK9jgd-IWpWP0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/12466478_Q5s8m1KeX3E25uGrmad6lI4oTioMkDwK9jgd-IWpWP0.jpg' /></noscript> Ten years later, Schuster became the coach of the Royal Club and led them to win the La Liga title. The icing on the cake was el pasillo at the Bernabeu in 2008. Interestingly, in 1988, Schuster participated in a similar corridor at the Nou Camp, as a blue garnet player, when Barca congratulated Madrid on winning the championship. Schuster was sacked the following fall after a dismal start to the season. At a press conference before the Clasico, he noted that Barça had probably already won La Liga. After that, the German coached Besiktas in Turkey and returned to Spain, where he headed Malaga, but at the moment Bernd is unemployed. However, his name always comes up when a team from the Premier League or La Liga is looking for a new head coach. José Antonio Camacho Camacho played over 500 games in 15 years at Real Madrid, but he was not a shooting guard like Roberto Carlos or Marcelo. Camacho was, for the most part, a defensive back, with a combination of great vision and a bit of a dirty play that José Mourinho would have liked.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/221147130_AR6pFUg8QzfRUC8jk-Gn-DASXk2vryRrhnenHaXrgIA.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/221147130_AR6pFUg8QzfRUC8jk-Gn-DASXk2vryRrhnenHaXrgIA.jpg' /></noscript> He was almost 173 cm tall, but he had dexterous legs, which made him impossible to get around. In Spanish, the phrase “sudar la camiseta” literally means “sweat all over your jersey”, which clearly conveys the unwavering effort of the player. Camacho was known for his very sweaty armpits (not even a white tank top helped), so no one could doubt his hard work. After his playing career, he embarked on a long career as a coach. Camacho worked with several clubs in Spain, including Sevilla and Madrid, before being appointed head coach of the national team. During his time at the helm of the Spanish national team, La Roja qualified for Euro 2000, where they lost in the quarter-finals to France against current coach Zinedine Zidane. Spain also made it to the 2002 World Cup, but again lost in the quarterfinals to host country South Korea. Camacho then coached Benfica for two years before taking over the Royal Club again, but his stay in the Spanish capital was short and bitter.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/28676520_rPFHCFdp_AtHeAo8fM1qeOHqcTDXVfPlTmZuqv2UONk.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/28676520_rPFHCFdp_AtHeAo8fM1qeOHqcTDXVfPlTmZuqv2UONk.jpg' /></noscript> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-2996" class="post-2996 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-december"> <h2><a href="https://yeowardschool.org/december/weather-in-los-cristianos-tenerife-in-december-los-cristianos-spain-december-weather.html">Weather in los cristianos tenerife in december: Los Cristianos, Spain – December Weather</a></h2> <div class="meta"> Опубликовано: October 12, 2022 в 6:19 am Автор: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/author/alexxlab" title="Posts by alexxlab" rel="author">alexxlab</a> Категории: <a href="https://yeowardschool.org/category/december" rel="category tag">December</a> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>Los Cristianos, Spain – December Weather</h2> <h4></h4> What’s the weather like in Los Cristianos in December</h4> December in Los Cristianos is cooling off considerably compared to the hot summer months, however it still enjoys a subtropical climate. Temperature The average high temperature is still somewhere around 73°F (23°C), while the nighttime lows still cannot be considered cold at 62°F (16°C). Average Sea Temperature The sea temperature at this time of year is still very pleasant at a positively warm 20°C. Which makes it the perfect climate to take part in water sports such as diving or windsurfing and of course swimming. Outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, or mountain biking are extremely popular at this time due to the cooler climate. Furthermore, the cold season in Los Cristianos and the rest of Tenerife usually lasts from December 13th until March 11th, with average daily high temperatures around 22°C, so it is hardly cold compared to most of Europe.<img loading='lazy' src='' /> Rain The area sees very little rainfall, making it easy to plan activities without the threat of the weather ruining them. There is an average of 75mm of precipitation during this month. This precipitation often comes in the form of light rain or even drizzle on just 4 days out of the month. Even though there are very few rainy days, December is actually the wettest month of the year in Los Cristianos and for most of Tenerife. The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is only 16%, with little variation. As already mentioned, rainfall is usually very low at this time of year, however, in December 2013 flash floods hit Los Cristianos and other parts of Tenerife. Many of the main roads were completely flooded which disrupted people from getting to work or school. Reports suggest the floods were caused by two and half hours of torrential rainfall, which blocked up the local drain systems and caused serious flooding.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/95000/95965-Los-Cristianos.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/95000/95965-Los-Cristianos.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh' /></noscript> In other areas of Tenerife the flooding cut off electricity and severely affected Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where almost 224 litres of rain fell on the city. It was estimated that some 400 people were unable to reach their homes and had to spend the night in a convention centre. Daylight Hours Over the course of December the length of day stays essentially constant. There is an average of 10 ½ hours of daylight even this late in the year. The shortest day of the month is December 18th with 10:22 hours of daylight, whilst the longest day is December 1st with 10:30 hours of daylight. Average Sunshine Hours December also receives on average six hours of sunshine per day, which is the same as November. It is estimated that the Canary Islands as a whole receive more than 3000 hours of sunshine per year, making it one of the sunniest places on earth. Cloud Cover The cloud cover at this time of year is generally low, hovering around a partly cloudy 40%.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/estaticos-cdn.prensaiberica.es/clip/8d1b35df-6d44-49bf-ad16-2e8579ad3273_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/estaticos-cdn.prensaiberica.es/clip/8d1b35df-6d44-49bf-ad16-2e8579ad3273_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg' /></noscript> Humidity The humidity is also reasonably comfortable during December as the relative humidity typically fluctuates between a mildly humid 50% and a humid 80%, rarely dropping below 33% or reaching as high as 93%. On average, the air is driest around December 4th, at which time the relative humidity drops below a mildly humid 59% three days out of four. On the other hand, the air is most humid around December 18th, where humidity levels are expected to rise above a humid 74% three days out of four. Wind During December the typical wind speeds are relatively low and vary from 4 mph to 21 mph, which is considered as a light to fresh breeze. It is rather unlikely that the wind speeds will exceed 28 mph at this time of year. On average, the highest average wind speed of 12 mph, usually occurs around December 15th, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is a fresh 21 mph. At this time of year the wind is most often coming from the east, followed by the northeast.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/blog.ovdenko.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DSC_7161.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/blog.ovdenko.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DSC_7161.jpg' /></noscript> <h4></h4> Los Cristianos Hotels in December</h4> The Boutique Hotel h20 Big Sur is a stunning four-star adults only hotel located right on the seafront in Los Cristianos. This exclusive hotel offers bright and airy rooms with private bathrooms, satellite TVs and fans. Minibars and safes are also available on request. There are a number of facilities at this hotel including a swimming pool, poolside bar, buffet restaurant and relaxing spa offering massage treatments and a hair salon. However, if you are here with the kids you may be interested in staying at the three-star Sol Princesa Dacil which is a Flintstones-themed hotel located just 200m away from Los Cristianos Beach. The hotel offers a buffet restaurant, two outdoor swimming pools for adults and children and a wide variety of children’s entertainment. On the other hand, the four-star Hotel Paradise Park boasts stunning panoramic views over Los Cristianos Bay and Teide National Park from its rooftop terrace.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/JmDCm9WlcI8/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/JmDCm9WlcI8/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> This luxurious hotel offers air-conditioned rooms, that feature either a private balcony or terrace, as well as a satellite TV and minibar. Another great place to take the little ones is the three-star Aguamar; this affordable holiday complex features self-catering apartments that include living areas, fully-equipped kitchenettes, and of course a TV and safe. Other facilities include table tennis, mini-golf, a children’s play area and an outdoor swimming pool which can be used throughout the year, due to Tenerife’s unbeatable year-round weather. <h4></h4> Los Cristianos Beach for December</h4> Playa de las Americas is a purpose-built holiday resort located next to Los Cristianos. The resort offers a family-friendly sandy beach that is lined by a vast array of bars, cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. The beach also offers a variety of amenities including sun beds, parasols and toilets during the summer months. Even during December the south of Tenerife is still warm enough to go swimming in and maybe even sunbathe.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/2370133_-Wkfw-Cj7JFTZP1axpW10ohQoXkVRAHE_2KSK-nuY0I.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/2370133_-Wkfw-Cj7JFTZP1axpW10ohQoXkVRAHE_2KSK-nuY0I.jpg' /></noscript> Whilst staying in Los Cristianos you should definitely visit the resort’s beach. This beautiful golden sand beach is one of the most popular beaches on the whole island and also offers a number of restaurants, cafes and bars to choose from, as well as a promenade that lines the beach. This is the perfect place to come to to watch the sunset. <h4></h4> Bars and Restaurants</h4> Why not celebrate the festive season during December in one of the many bars and clubs in the area. If you are planning on eating out on Christmas day it is advised to book beforehand, as they can get booked up very quickly, especially in the local hotels and restaurants. The Original Bistro serves up a fantastic roast dinner on Christmas day and throughout the year they offer a great range of classic dishes for all tastes and pockets. They also offer an outdoor seated area, which is perfect on a sunny day. Even during December you can still sit outside in Los Cristianos as the temperatures can still reach the early to mid 20s.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/spain-dream.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Arona1.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/spain-dream.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Arona1.jpg' /></noscript> Whilst staying in Tenerife you should definitely try some of the local cuisine. The Willows located in Los Cristianos is a delightful little eatery that serves a variety of different tapas dishes including Spanish tortilla, king prawns, garlic mushrooms, grilled pepper and much more. During December it is highly recommended to book early as this place can get very busy. O’Neill’s is located down the famous Veronicas strip in the heart of Playa de las Americas. This highly popular nightclub and bar offers an air-conditioned dance floor, cage dancers, dance poles and of course a resident DJ pumping out the latest tunes. This place is the perfect spot for a girls or lads night out! However, if you’re looking for somewhere a lit bit quieter you should go to the Market Tavern in Los Cristianos. This place is a particular favourite with British holidaymakers and expats. The best of the islands’ cabaret artists also appear throughout the week at this bar. They also provide a karaoke machine that features over 25,000 songs to choose from, where you can sing your heart out to some of the best Christmas hits.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/14/23/69/142369f7e14e32f9010e159106037059.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/14/23/69/142369f7e14e32f9010e159106037059.jpg' /></noscript> <h4></h4> Things to do in Los Cristianos in December</h4> As Tenerife is a relatively small island you can travel to most major attractions within an hour by car or coach. When visiting Tenerife you should definitely visit Mount Teide and the Teide National Park on a clear day. This spectacular dormant volcano is Spain’s highest peak measuring at approximately 3718 metres above sea level. You can reach the summit via foot but it is recommended to take the cable car to save time and energy. The terrain of the National Park is truly breathtaking as it is made up of lava formations and interesting flora and fauna. Another stunning natural attraction to go to is the Masca Valley, located next to the Teno Mountains in Tenerife.

For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in December (e.g., December 1, December 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

Such reports are used by pilots, air traffic controllers, meteorologists, climatologists, and other researchers. They are published via radio transmission and on the internet. We have been collecting and archiving published METAR reports since 2011, and have found third-party sources for archived reports from years prior to that. <h4>ISD Reports</h4> The Integrated Surface Database (ISD), maintained and published by NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information , consists of hourly and synoptic weather reports from a variety of sources. We use ISD data to complement and backfill for our METAR archive. <h4>Other Data</h4> The sources for the averages shown in the daily temperature chart are discussed in greater detail on this station’s Averages Report.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/mediasole.ru/data/images/367/367690/015_0_20b211_4fe21fc3_XXXL.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/mediasole.ru/data/images/367/367690/015_0_20b211_4fe21fc3_XXXL.jpg' /></noscript> All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.

And so, singing “We have in Spain…”, we buy tours or book a hotel or apartment on our own, buy plane tickets, and here it is – spring December in the Canary Islands. flickr.com/respenda The weather in Tenerife in December favors travelers, both outdoor enthusiasts and beach sybarites – warm, sunny and relatively calm. At the end of December, the cost of tours in Tenerife is growing : during the Christmas and New Year holidays, millions of people go for a miracle – to another city or to another country. <h3> How to get there and where to stay </h3> Direct charters fly to Tenerife : they are good for everything except the price.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/travelidea.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/17-10.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/travelidea.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/17-10.jpg' /></noscript> The best option is to find a suitable transplant. If a large company is going to the island, it is more convenient and cheaper to rent an apartment, if it is a family or romantic trip, it is better to choose a hotel. Local hotels do not have their own beaches, but most of them have swimming pools. It’s calm in Tenerife in December: European pensioners prefer this season, so the society is peaceful and respectable. Tenerife is also called the Island with two faces. One face is the hot south, the second is the green north. They are separated by a mountain range, so their climate is slightly different. flickr.com/aniamendrek Island has two airports, north and south , in each of them you can rent a car and go on your own personal journey. There is one caveat: when concluding a contract, it is recommended to inspect the car and take pictures of all scratches and dents. It is difficult to do without damage here – the streets in the cities are narrow, it is not always possible to find a parking place the first time, and the mountain roads are clearly not designed for novice drivers.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/07/63/12/07631259a30bdf57b3d7ad13a620daf7.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/originals/07/63/12/07631259a30bdf57b3d7ad13a620daf7.jpg' /></noscript> A Russian-language navigator will also come in handy – you can rent it.

For the warm sea, it is better to go to the Emirates, and we arranged a motor rally along the coast. Serpentines are breathtaking, but what kind of photos are obtained if you shoot from the side of the road! <h3> Excursions </h3> The impressions of the trip will be incomplete without excursions. And tourists are increasingly booking excursions via the Internet. This is more convenient for several reasons. You can: <ul> <li> slowly read the description and reviews and choose what you like; </li> <li> do not fuss and do not spend precious time on the island searching and buying excursions; </li> <li> buy in advance from home, and pay by card; </li> <li> there is more choice online than in any agency, and prices are 15-20% lower, because no agency fee.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/tourestate.ru/images/lots/01541653/13.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/tourestate.ru/images/lots/01541653/13.jpg' /></noscript> </li> </ul> The most popular excursions in Tenerife in 2019: <ul> <li> – 6 hours, € 132 for 1-3 persons or €42 per person if you are more than </li> <li> – 7 hours, € 144 for 1-2 people or € 54 per person if there are more of you; </li> <li> – 8 hours, € 180 for 1-3 people or €60 per person if there are more of you; </li> <li> – 6 hours, € 120 for 1-2 people or €60 per person if there are more of you; </li> <li> – 9 hours, 106 €. </li> </ul> <h3> Museums, man-made and not made by hands </h3> There are no museums in Tenerife designed for lovers of Raphael, but there are unique natural monuments and several interesting expositions. Travelers will find a lot of interesting things in the Thor Heyerdahl Museum , which displays the boat he used to cross the Atlantic in 1970. And in the town of Icod de Los Vinos, in addition to the thousand-year-old relic dracaena, for which it is famous, there is a nice museum of malvasia. flickr.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/resorts/cristi12.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/aronatour.ru/spain_resorts/canary/tenerife/resorts/cristi12.jpg' /></noscript> com/respenda From a review by A.M., Moscow: “The dragon tree is amazing. You cannot approach it, you can only look from above, but it is impressive even from a distance. It seems very tired. A thousand years is no joke.” History buffs are waiting for Pyramids of Guimar – below them is a cave city. A visitor to the Canary Islands for the first time will be surprised by the abundance of cacti – they are everywhere. Flora lovers will appreciate the Anaga Reserve, where blue laurel trees and relict ferns grow, as well as Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz . Puerto also has a beach complex, consisting of pools of various sizes filled with sea water, beaches, gardens, restaurants and other resort amenities. But just as all European roads lead to Rome, so all Tenerife guides lead to Teido. Teido is a volcano , its Martian crater with hardened red lava flows, is amazing, and the foggy slopes can make climbing a real adventure.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/cdn.skylinewebcams.com/social382.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/cdn.skylinewebcams.com/social382.jpg' /></noscript> flickr.com/azuaje Everyone who is going to storm Teido needs to warm up: in December the temperature at the summit reaches -10º with strong winds. Well, a good chance to remember the real winter and dress accordingly: in a warm jacket, winter boots and a hat. It is forbidden to pick up volcanic stones as a souvenir. <h3> For children of all ages </h3> After conquering the harsh peak, numerous parks with animals and birds scattered around the island are perceived differently. When visiting them advantageous to buy double tickets – one for two parks . You can also book a boat trip and watch dolphins and whales frolicking in the wild, or visit small ostrich and camel farms. For children and their parents in Tenerife – expanse. From Linda’s review, 30 years old, Petersburg: “There are special cats in Tenerife. It is easy for me to talk to dogs, but local cats pronounce their meow so importantly that it is impossible not to address them as You.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/webtenerife.ru/travel/other/gigantescarn.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/webtenerife.ru/travel/other/gigantescarn.jpg' /></noscript> Not cats, but Carmencitas.” <h3> What to eat on the spot and what to take with you </h3> Canarian cuisine is a variant of traditional Spanish cuisine, but with small local delights, like mojo sauce and highland potatoes boiled “in their skins” in ocean water. In the small towns of the north, fish and seafood are prepared, the portions are solid, the prices are pleasant. There are a lot of local dry wines, they are of good quality and inexpensive, but the most famous variety is malvasia, which is bought as a Tenerife souvenir. flickr.com/morlock December is also the time of Christmas markets and fairs . They open long before the holiday, so even if the trip is scheduled for the beginning of the month, you can buy gifts: ceramics, embroidery, leather, glass, wines, cheeses, palm honey and much more.

December – sale time , it is better to shop in large cities by Tenerife standards – Las Americas, Los Cristianos and in the capital of the island of Santa Cruz, where there are many shops and shopping malls.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i0.wp.com/iestafeta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/terrecana.jpg?fit=1024%2C631&ssl=1" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i0.wp.com/iestafeta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/terrecana.jpg?fit=1024%2C631&ssl=1' /></noscript> flickr.com/freakyman And where else to say goodbye to 2019 and welcome the New Year, 2020, if not on the Island of Eternal Spring?

As, however, and any other month in this fabulous archipelago. Although there is still something from winter here: the snowy peaks of magnificent mountains. Few can argue with the fact that they are just an unforgettable sight. The temperature limits in the Canary Islands in the last month of the year are much closer to those of summer than to winter. In fairness, they can be attributed to the velvet season. It’s only cool here at night. And it’s rather cool in autumn, but certainly not in winter. This is the Canarian weather in December. Of course, for a clearer picture of the weather in the Canary Islands in December, you need to focus on specific numbers. During the day, the air temperature on the islands averages around +22 degrees, while at night it drops to +14 degrees. The temperature of the water in the ocean is approximately +19degrees. The peculiarity of the weather in the Canary Islands is sunshine.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/exotictenerife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/los-cristianos-tenerife-3.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/exotictenerife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/los-cristianos-tenerife-3.jpg' /></noscript> The Canarian sun always attracts its admirers to the islands of the archipelago. However, the beginning of winter coincides with the beginning of the rainy season, which can spoil the rest a little. But you can also hide from the rain on some islands. For example, in Lanzarote there are only four rainy days for the whole of December, which is half as much as, say, on La Palma.

The flight from Warsaw, lasting 5.5 hours, was a little tired and after a bitter frost, I want to breathe warm air on the island of eternal spring Children swim in the so-called natural pool, a limited area of coast with natural sea water, where full protection from possible waves is provided Experienced surfers catch a 4-meter wave. Surfing on the islands can be practiced all year round, and it is better to rent a board and a wetsuit on the beach for 20-30 euros per day Apartments overlooking the Teide By sunset, the beaches are empty and everyone moves inside the city to have dinner and relax further The sun sets very quickly, almost vertically, and immediately becomes dark, in December at about 6 pm Embankment Old people play golf We are going to explore the island. Rocks that are called Los Gigantos Also here you can watch whales, dolphins and fur seals in their natural habitat, as indicated by this sign Boat trips are organized along the rocks, and hiking can be done directly in the mountains Locality Acantilados de Los Gigantes Rocks are being cut to build apartments with stunning views Entrance to the courtyard of a private house Ready for Christmas and New Year! You can walk along the shore and study the lava formations.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/LhYKn2mDiRs/hqdefault.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.ytimg.com/vi/LhYKn2mDiRs/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> It is dangerous to swim here But there are natural pools We return home along the motorway, where you can comfortably move between cities at a speed limit of 120 km/h. Ring traffic is organized almost everywhere In the morning we leave for the highway to get to the Teresitas beach with imported Sahara sand. We pass through the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife along the coast. There are already traffic lights here The beach and the fishing village of San Andres on a hillside just 10 kilometers from the capital Low tide In winter, you need to carefully monitor the weather to enjoy this place. And then you can come and it will rain and +14. Lucky 9 today0934 An oil rig is visible not far from the coast. Recently, oil deposits were found here, but the locals are afraid of a leakage of raw materials, as was the case in the Gulf of Mexico, and against such a neighborhood I still don’t understand whether they are extracting something there or just developing it In order not to return along the same road back , we make a detour through the mountains and climb higher along the serpentine At an altitude of 900 meters the temperature dropped from 22 to 9 degrees.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/spaindream.ru/uploads/apartments/2881/pictures/8896.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/spaindream.ru/uploads/apartments/2881/pictures/8896.jpg' /></noscript> At the top, a riot of vegetation and a view of Teide There are only a few houses in the village. Here the hostess dries the cobs of corn Shed with goats. And by the water, Santa Cruz and its port Viewpoint La Cruz del Carmen. Here you can see panoramas of the laurel forests of the Anaga Nature Reserve, as well as the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna and its surroundings, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List Paths through the jungle lead to no less interesting places We go down to the capital, on the right is the port Auditorio Opera House is located almost on the outskirts Beautiful in the center. There are even trams from public transport Park area Clean, tidy, in a metropolitan way. Cleaners sweep with brooms made of palm leaves Pedestrian street decorated with New Year’s lights The next day, we start climbing to Teide along the two-lane winding road TF-21.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/blog.ovdenko.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/map.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/blog.ovdenko.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/map.jpg' /></noscript> Having passed the village of Vilaflor, at an altitude of more than 1.5 kilometers, we drive into clouds We continue our way through coniferous forests There are no roadsides on such roads, so for rest and admiring the views you have to stop only at observation platforms. Red volcanic soil And if you look towards the ocean, you will see the slopes of the mountains planted with vineyards In the background, near the coast, you can see greenhouses, which at the beginning were photographed from an airplane On the territory of the Teide National Park. The landscape changed to almost deserted Due to the unique natural conditions, many directors shoot their fantasy films here, including Star Wars. Now a German film crew has settled here. There is very little left. You can already see the lift legs A cable car in both directions costs 26 euros. But this is not yet the Teide peak To climb to a height of 3718 meters, you need to overcome 160 meters on foot.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/byvali.ru/sites/default/files/pictures/spain/kanarskie-ostrova/tenerife/plyazhi/los-cristianos/los-cristianos.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/byvali.ru/sites/default/files/pictures/spain/kanarskie-ostrova/tenerife/plyazhi/los-cristianos/los-cristianos.jpg' /></noscript> Moreover, permission to climb must be issued in advance and presented at the top along with a passport Volcano crater. You can see equipment that probably registers activity Warm and smelly jets of gas sometimes burst out from under your feet It’s quite windy at the top and +8. But a 360-degree panorama opens up, the entire island is visible. And it could be snow. On the right you can see the road we were on. As always, the photo does not capture the full scale Northern part of the island On the way back, we accidentally stop by the alleys of Vilaflor. No fences! A tangerine tree grows near the entrance to the house (very tasty, by the way), and there are vineyards around Punta Brava, a village in the north of Tenerife Here you can endlessly stand on the shore and watch the waves break on the rocks View to the left Outskirts of Puerto de la Cruz near Loro Parque.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/57/81/0d/57810d05faa405d435406ac26c02e512.jpg" /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/i.pinimg.com/736x/57/81/0d/57810d05faa405d435406ac26c02e512.jpg' /></noscript> It was hard not to come here, because this park is advertised all over the island and on every trash can. I even thought that it was state-owned But I googled it, no – private. And it was founded many years ago by a visiting German who fell in love with this island. Loro is Spanish for parrot. It used to be a parrot park that has grown into a virtual zoo with many animals. Main entrance King penguins. We slowly drive along the moving path and look at everything inside. One dived below Fur seal show. The whole park blends in harmoniously with the environment Everything is very well organized and after one show, you immediately unobtrusively get into another. Dolphins ride a girl from the audience A pool with killer whales. Nothing special was shown, but in itself it is amazing how a person could tame such huge predators. Where there are white stickers on the seats – this is a splash zone, where it is better not to meddle without a raincoat At some point, you get to a 15-meter high wooden staircase where birds fly almost in their natural habitat.<img loading='lazy' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E"
