Zara Tenerife stores and my best Zara store.

Zara Tenerife has several stores on the island. Most are in or near the capital. But, Las Americas and La Orotava with la Villa mall have their branch as well.

Yes, you can see me here by the Zara back-door in Santa Cruz.

I’ve been there many times since 2008. You get there from inside the shop or walking around the corner by the modern
sky rise of Banco de Santander.

You are bound to read Banco Santander
in red from far when coming into Plaza Candelaria from the sea-side.

Head towards it and you will find
Zara on Plaza Candelaria Santa Cruz
on your right behind a slender, white marble monument called Obelisc de Triunfo de Candelaria.

It’s next to Banco de Santander on
opposite corner of a side street.
Photo of this view will follow below.

Zara shops on the biggest of all Canary Islands seem to sell clothes for women, teenagers and children, only.

The
picture shows some of the inside of the Zara shop
on Plaza de Candelaria in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
 
First time,  I saw one of Zara shops was when an insider resident introduced me to Zara’s collections.

She took me to this branch in Santa Cruz Tenerife on
Plaza de Candelaria, 8 – Tel: + 34 922 245020

On that day my lady friend and I went to Santa Cruz by car.

That’s what insiders like to do.

Of
course, you can go to Zara Santa Cruz using
Tenerife transport by bus or other means.

Parking Santa Cruz by the Zara shop

She used the underground parking Santa Cruz at Plaza de España. Find public parking by looking out for one of the many blue parking indicators around town.
 

Zara at Plaza Canderlaria of Santa Cruz

Admire the beautiful panoramic photo above where you see a car driving into this parking lot. Take notice of the blue board indicating this parking facility.

Also, make out the Ferry in the picture. So much is there to discover by one of most innovative world town squares.
 
 

There is an exit/entrance for pedestrians from the underground parking.

It leads to the shop Zara at Plaza Candelaria where a fenced in fountain (Pilar de Candelaria) is in front.

The spot is so easy to reach because,  the town squares Plaza de España and Plaza de Candelaria are connected. Almost one square, you know.

I was absolutely taken with Zara at Plaza Candelaria.

What’s so great about this Zara store?

It displays its stocks on several floors. You can take stairs or an elevator to get there.
 
Perhaps, we were particularly lucky with the outstanding variety it had. Prices were very reasonable,  too.

Shopping with natural day light

May
be,  it was also a question of the light on the upper levels. It could
have been the morning light which indirectly entered the store through
the many windows. You can see them in the photo with the fountain above. The right, 
natural light can even render a store like Zara which has best
advantages,  already,  more magic.

Also, colors are always true with natural illumination.

Music at Zara doesn’t come into my mind but,  wouldn’t be that important.

The artificial Tenerife lake of Plaza de Espana is a must see with the Anaga Mountains
behind on the horizon.

Its bar is also the ideal stop over for a refreshment
on any Santa Cruz capital Zara trip.

And by the way of course, you
can still buy clothes there when the stars are up by the spectacular
lake next door to Zara Santa Cruz.

The shop closes at 10 p.m. However, make sure to arrive before 9.p.m.

Zara Fashion for any age?

The red Zara Denims seen in the photo were bought at Christmas 2014.

The quality is still excellent after washing them many times.

By the way, you would never believe the age of the lady depicted.

This shows you that Zara fashion isn’t only for the young.

Zara Tenerife Las Americas

In 2009, I had Swedish girls visiting who absolutely had to go see Zara Tenerife in the south of the island.
Zara Arona by Las Americas is in a real glamorous area.

But, now, look at Plaza de España by Zara Santa Cruz at night.

Not a bad neighborhood, either…Right?

To be honest I was disappointed comparing Zara Tenerife Las Americas with my preferred Santa Cruz shop.

We never got to Santa Cruz, by the way.

We picked Playa de las Americas where we arrived with a rented car and got quite lost in town where one really should have a detailed road map with shops and other attractions pointed out.

We started searching for Zara and eventually got to it.
Later, I discovered that it’s supposed to be right opposite Mare Nostrum which you can see at Tenerife photos Arona
where Zara is also very close to the musical fountain and shop Cartier. However, I took no picture of the Zara shop, there.

Retrospect 2010 summer Fashion design Zara

Admire a glimpse of summer Fashion 2010 by Zara Santa Cruz Tenerife…

Note that tight Denim jeans are still the rage. Shirts accentuate the waste and the feminine figure.

Pastel cotton with dainty flower motives give the romantic Zara touch.

Shoes are sling strap and well visible, while trouzers stop short above the ancles.

Zara and 7 more brands of Inditex Spain

Learn more about Spanish fashion which has amazing importance for Spain’s economy, while Zara and Stradivarius of the mighty fashion group Inditex of northern Spain are unfortunately not found near the 5 star Hotel Mirador del Duque on Costa Adeje.

Spain fashion designer Zara 2010

Mind that the Spain fashion designer Zara Tenerife is still celebrating youth above all else.

Mini skirts go all year round.

Short skirts are popular in Spain as well as on Tenerife, the island of gentle spring. Tight tops round off the summerly look of 2010.

Zara of La Orotava

La Villa Alcampo shopping mall
Only one shopping floor Zara on ground level.
You find it at the end of the mall.

Important international gift delivery at any Zara outlet.

My daughter bought me a Zara Tenerife bag online in the UK. I had to collect this gift at the shop of Zara La Orotava. Why there? Because that’s closest to where I live. So this gift service is international. No shipment needed, as long as the item is available at a Zara outlet near the residence of the person that receives the gift.

Mind that most probably she even physically inspected the bag in the UK.

I must have seen Zara in the Commercial Center in La Laguna next to Al Campo and Ikea .

Anyway, it left no lasting impression on me.

No Zara Tenerife shop is as nice as the one by the ocean in the Capital Santa Cruz.

By the way, I don’t think that any of the Zara shops are open on Sundays.

Zara stores in Tenerife with their
addresses and
phone numbers where you also have a catalogue, impressions and
even job offers for all over the world.

Where shop for other things besides for clothes at Zara Tenerife?

Queen Letizia in Zara Midi Dress to visit Grand Canary Islands

by RegalFille

CasaReal

Today, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain visited the Grand Canary Islands. The visit is part of couple’s Nationwide tour in which Felipe and Letizia are visiting all the public facilities reopening after the COVID19 lockdown to support the recovery of social, economic and citizen activities in the country after the pandemic.

CasaReal

Gran Canaria also Grand Canary Island, is second-most populous of the Canary Islands in Spain – an archipelago off the Atlantic coast of Northwest Africa. Tourism plays a big role in the Spanish Economy and COVID19 has affected the tourism all-over the world very badly.

CasaReal

During the visit, Felipe and Letizia toured the Pérez Galdós House-Museum at the Gran Canarian Palms on its first day of reopening like the rest of the Canarian museums. Spain has ordered its borders for tourists last Sunday but the summer season is only tentatively resuming while Government monitors the situation.

CasaReal

Felipe and Letizia during the visit to the Pérez Galdós House-Museum on the occasion of the 100 year anniversary of the renowned Spanish novelist Benito Perez Galdos’s death.

CasaReal

King Felipe and Queen Letizia unveiled a plaque commemorating the visit that ended with the signing of the book of honour.  Their tour of the Grand Canaria Island area coincides with the usual commemoration from June 23 to 24 of the origins of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – with the city celebrating its 1478 founding every summer.

A video of the visit to the House Museum.

CasaReal

In the Islands’ capital, Gran Canaria, locals greeted the royal couple with applause and shouts of “Viva”, as Felipe bumped elbows with people to avoid shaking hands. The couple launched “Spain for Sure” last week and this tour will take them to every Spanish region in the coming days.

CasaReal

Felipe and Letizia went to the Santa Catalina Royal Hideaway Hotel, for its reopening, and were received by their employees and discovered a commemorative plaque that reflects this moment. During the tour, The King and Queen had meetings with the business, union and professional representatives from the Tourism and Hospitality sector during their visit.

CasaReal

Then Felipe and Letizia moved to Playa de las Canteras and toured its promenade. From CNA’s report,

Since Spain’s state of emergency ended on Sunday and European borders reopened, some 600-700 flights have taken place daily in all directions, state-owned airport operator Aena said, an increase on the 570 daily average in May.

There is, however, little chance of stopping Spain registering its worst economic performance on record in 2020, with the central bank forecasting a contraction between 9 per cent and 11.6 per cent.

CasaReal

At this time to keep the public gathering minimum and following Governmental and Medical guidelines the exact schedule of the Nation-wide tour is under the wrap and we will find on a daily basis where King Felipe and Queen Letizia are visiting.

CasaReal

Spanish King and Queen received a warm welcome from the public enjoying a day out in the sun.

Some beautiful pictures from the visit.

Last Friday on the 6th anniversary of their Coronation, Felipe and Letizia took their daughters Leonor, Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia to Teatros del Canal in Madrid.

A video of the Royal Couple walking around the Island.

CasaReal

After the tour of Grand Canaria Island, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain headed towards Tenerife. After arriving at the “Tenerife South Airport” in Tenerife, they toured their facilities to observe the health security systems implemented at the airport, then they moved to Finca El Confital to learn first-hand the situation of the primary sector after the COVID-19 crisis.

CasaReal

There Felipe and Letizia made a tour of the banana area.

CasaReal

They saw various facilities of the BONNYSA company “Las Moradas” and had a meeting with representatives of the Primary Sector from all over the archipelago, which included representatives of agriculture, livestock, fishing and rural development.

A video of the visit.

 

CasaReal

For the visit, Queen Letizia of Spain chose a chic summer style. She debuted a pale green Zara Combined Structured Midi Dress from Summer collection. Thanks to Nuria Tiburcio and Las Ardillas for the id.

Zara Combined Structured Midi Dress

The vee-neck midi dress has wide sleeves and a slit at the skirt with a cinched waistline. It features a white and pale green floral embroidery and currently available €25.99 offline.

Macarena Alba50 Cotton Crudo Wedges

Queen paired the dress with a new pair of taupe wedges. Letizia was wearing Macarena Alba50 Cotton Crudo Wedges. The €60 Espadrille with natural jute wedge features a straps tie closure at the ankle and are handmade in Spain. They are currently available online in all sizes. Queen recently wore another pair of Macarena wedges.

Queen Letizia teamed up her look with gold bamboo earrings

and her Karen Hallam ring.

I believe we will be seeing Felipe and Letizia a lot in the upcoming days.

Since the restrictions are starting to lift in Spain, Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI have been participating in royal engagements again.

It’s no secret that Queen Letizia is a fan of wearing affordable clothing

Just a few weeks ago, on June 8, the royal wore a white Carolina Herrera suit and a $30 brown polka dot cami from Mango for an appearance in Madrid. 

Queen Letizia wore a $30 Mango top earlier this month.

safe Belarus, ZARA in Minsk and Vin Diesel in Cuba

The most important, interesting or just funny travel news for the past 7 days – from 23 to 29 April 2016.

IN BELARUS


Belarus has simplified the visa regime for UAE citizens

On April 27, the Head of State signed Decree No. 156, which establishes a visa-free entry and exit procedure for citizens of the United Arab Emirates. Based on the document, now tourists from the UAE can stay in Belarus for 30 days without a visa or transit if they have a valid passport or a document replacing it. Recall that Belarusians still need a visa to visit the UAE.

ZARA, Bershka, Pull&Bear and others come to Belarus

Attention shopaholics! There was information that stores of 11 popular European brands will open in Minsk. Among them are Pull&Bear, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka. The brands will appear in the Dana Mall and GreenCity shopping centers in Minsk. But it’s too early to dance a jig, because negotiations between Inditex and Belarus have been going on for about three years, and up to this point there is no unambiguous information about the decisions made. Before the opening, you can still go shopping several times in Bialystok, Warsaw, or – what’s there! – to Milan.

In the autumn a charter flight will fly from Minsk to Tenerife again

This spring a significant event took place in Belarusian tourism – for the first time a direct charter flight flew from Minsk to the Canary Islands, more precisely, to one of the most beautiful islands of the archipelago – Tenerife. Last minute tours for the first flights for 300 EUR scattered at the speed of light. For the remaining flights in May, prices are slightly higher, but tourists still have the opportunity to plan a vacation in Tenerife, only in the fall – the first autumn flight from Minsk to Tenerife is scheduled for October 3. Moreover, you can even celebrate the New Year under a volcano! Departures are also planned for the New Year holidays. Ask in the agencies of your city!

  • Current tours to the Canary Islands

Billboards with Minsk will appear in Cannes

And billboards with Cannes will appear in Minsk, respectively. Mutual exchange of outdoor advertising is only the beginning of mutual cooperation between the Belarusian and French cities. During the visit of the delegation from Cannes to Minsk, the French agreed with their Belarusian colleagues on cooperation in the field of tourism, the possibility of internships for Belarusian students in France, and not only about this. But you can not wait for mercy from officials, but go to Cannes right now.

The first Belarusian tourists returned from Turkey

They returned satisfied, tanned and happy – they flew cheaply (some operators now sell tours to Turkey at bargain prices), there are no Russians, the service is on top. What they told the correspondents of Interfax.by.
Belarus is recognized as one of the safest countries in the world. When compiling the rating, the companies were guided by the crime index in each country. The safest country, according to the rating, is South Korea, the most dangerous is Venezuela. We are on a par with Malta and Finland in terms of security.

IN THE WORLD


Poland introduces border controls at the borders with the EU from July 4 to August 2 . In this regard, for the period from July 4 to August 2, Poland introduces border controls on the borders with Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.

Actual tours to Poland

Free tours will be held around the world in early May

The entire world community has decided to support the Belarusian Tour Guide Fest-2016, which took place in Minsk and other cities of Belarus last weekend. Free tours will be held from 6 to 8 May around the world. No, we, of course, are joking about supporting Belarus, but free tours will indeed take place in many cities of the world as part of the Jane’s Walk international project. For example, on May 4, you can go to St. Petersburg – pick up the excursion at 14.00 near the exit from the Lomonosovskaya metro station.

Tunisia is building a modern metropolis following the example of the UAE

A large-scale investment project worth 50 billion USD is being implemented in Tunisia – it is called Tunisia Economic City. According to the plan, on 90 square kilometers along the 18 km of the Tunisian coast near Hammamet, a huge metropolis will appear, consisting of 14 districts – with medical and shopping centers, business centers, an Olympic village, modern hotels, universities, residential buildings and even a Formula 1 track. There will also be a port with a duty-free zone and a ski center. The project involves 50 investors from 30 countries. The deadline for putting the project into operation is not known, but it is expected that in 2030 the Economic City of Tunisia will be able to attract 7 billion USD and 2 million visitors a year.

Current tours in Tunisia

Fast & Furious 8 is currently filming in Cuba

Would you like to have a glass of rum with Vin Diesel in the bar of Old Havana, on the Malecon? Filming of the eighth part of the film “Fast and the Furious” is currently taking place in Cuba. Filming is scheduled to end on May 5, so there is still time to get to the set – Belarusians do not need a visa to Cuba.

Actual tours to Cuba

Shopping in Alicante – Rest in Spain (Alicante). Accommodation, excursions, transfers, information.

Where?

  • As elsewhere, in large shopping centers, for example. In Alicante it is:
  1. Plaza del Mar 2. Avenida de Denia, S/N (no number),
  2. Gran Via. Calle de José García Selles, 2,
  3. Puerta de Alicante, Avenida del Alcalde Lorenzo Carbonell, S/N (no number)
  4. El Corte Inglés (2 malls on the same street: one for household goods and electronics, the other for clothes and shoes). How to get an additional 10% discount on shopping in the stores of this network.
  5. Carrefour San Juan – not really a shopping center, rather, a hypermarket, it is convenient for purchasing food and household goods, and clothes and shoes are very simple there.
  • Lots of interesting shops in the old part of the city, under the hill with Santa Barbara castle.
  • Main shopping streets of the city – av.de Maisonnave, av. de Alfonso X El Sabio. There are many clothing stores – Zara, Mango, Bershka, Stradivarius, H&M and others .
  • Shoe shops are mostly located in the old part of the city, between the sea, the hill with the castle, the streets av. de Alfonso X Sabio and av. de Federico Solo.
  • The outlet stores is an outlet center, which in fact is already located in the neighboring city of San Vicente, but still often referred to as Alicante. On May 5, 2018, it opened its doors to visitors after a large-scale expansion – the center’s area increased by 3,500 sq. meters, i.e. almost double! The new areas housed 8 new brands: Dunkin’ Donuts Café, with over 50 varieties of breakfast and snacks; Geox, and its range of breathable shoes; Guess – fashion store; Home & Cook, – household items and small appliances; Hunkemöller – underwear and swimwear; Lamford, – clothing for men in casual style; Skechers – fashionable sports shoes and Sunglass Hut – an optics store. And the OhGar and Tramas+ stores already present in the mall moved to more spacious premises. Also now the complex includes stores such as Nike Clearance Store, El Corte Ingles Outlet, Desigual, Puma, Levi’s, Asics, Quicksilver, Camper and Mango; restaurants TGB, Lizarrán, 100 montaditos, La Tagliatella and Foster’s Hollywood; cinema multiplex Megarama, etc. A complete list of the presented brands and their location scheme is here.
    • It is very convenient to get here both by car (there is a large free parking lot, see the point on the map) and by tram (Santa Isabel stop on the L2 line is located right in front of the shopping center).
    • Open from 10 am to 10 pm from Monday to Saturday. Sunday – closed.
    • Carretera de Alicante, 94 03690 San Vicente del Raspieg, Spain
    • 965 664 498
  • Markets – it’s inexpensive and you can find something interesting, but this, of course, is an easier level. As one of the options, there are Second Hand-type stores, where most of the things are new, often even with tags, for ridiculous prices from 2 euros. An option for the squeamish and economical! 🙂 Follow the link to find the schedule of markets in different areas of Alicante and neighboring cities.
  • Alicante Central Market – products: fruits, vegetables, fish and seafood, meat, cheeses. Avenida de Alfonso X El Sabio, no number. It works every day, except Sunday, from 8 to 14 (officially the schedule is slightly wider, but better be guided by this).
  • For leather shoes, it is better to go to Elche, the shoe capital of Spain. However, it is recommended to look at the stores’ websites in advance: not everyone likes the local style, it seems rustic to some.
  • Adolfo Dominguez – a chain of fine designer clothes in Spain, several stores in Alicante and beyond. The addresses of all stores and the online store can be found on their website.
  • local products online: vegetables, fruits, dairy products, hams, cheeses, alcohol, oysters, olive oil, etc.
  • A great article about what you can bring from Alicante as a souvenir or gift.
  • An article about the opening hours of stores on holidays and Sundays: how to find out if a particular store is open.

How?

Of course, the question of understanding arises. As a rule, they do not speak English here. Of course, sign language, a calculator and a desire to negotiate will always help.

Let’s add a few most necessary words to this:

¿Cuánto es? Quanto es? ¿Cuánto vale? Quanto ball? – “how much does it cost?

Talla (taya) – clothing size

Número (numero) – shoe size, gloves

If you want to learn numerals – you will find them in any phrase book, textbook, language learning site.

How much?

As practice shows, prices here are somewhat lower than Russian ones for the same brands, especially the same leather shoes (there was a case, enthusiastic Petersburgers took home 2 suitcases more than they brought, and there were only shoes :))

When?

A special time is from mid-January to early March and July-August, this is the time of discounts everywhere and on everything, 50-70% – easily! How to find out what discounts are here? Look for the word REBAJAS (reAhas), this is it – “discounts. “0003

What about with children?

Most shopping centers have feeding rooms (here you will find our client’s review of such rooms), changing rooms at the toilets, there are children’s entertainment:

  • in the Carrefour San Juan shopping center, the children’s room is always open;
  • in the Gran Via shopping center, the trampoline and carousel are usually open on weekends and holidays;
  • if you are shopping in the center of Alicante (for example, in El Corte Inglés), then you can leave the child in the children’s room of the Mandarina Garden cafe (more about it here).

Below is a map with marked shopping areas in Alicante. Click on the label and information will be displayed about what it is and how it works (nothing works on Sundays except for convenience stores. The exception is a few Sundays before and during the New Year holidays and the first Sunday of the discount season in summer and winter).


1. Shoe shopping in Elda , 12 outlets of various Spanish shoe factories (mainly women’s) and accessories, overall style is elegant.

    • GPS: 38.261628,-0.734438
    • site

    Style – less elegant, simpler, cheaper, bias – in comfort and convenience. Not all, but that’s the trend.

    3. Outlet shoe route near the town of Torellano and Alicante airport.

    You can also check every month where and what discounts are in one or another store of this tour.

    • Habaneras shopping center in Torrevieja
    • Boulevard Shopping Center in La Zenia
    • La Marina shopping center in Benidorm
    • Portal de la marina shopping center in Dénia
    • L´Aljub shopping center in Elche
    • If you have a car and an extra day, you can go to the outlet village “Las Rozas” near Madrid, it’s 4 – 4. 5 hours one way on a good road.

    How and where in Spain in general and in Alicante in particular is tax free issued, that is, tax refunds for your purchases?

    Tax free is issued for purchases worth more than 90.15 euros (the figure is inherited from the time when it was in pesetas, because such a strange value) in almost any (non-grocery) store – you have to ask at the checkout. Almost certainly – in large shopping centers like El Corte Inglés, in branded clothing and footwear stores. Sometimes (but not always) there is a taxfree sticker somewhere at the entrance to the store. It is important to remember that it is not necessary to have this amount in one check – it can be several checks for different purchases in the same store . Accordingly, from how many stores you want to get tax free – from as many checks are needed for a total amount of 90.15 euros and more.

    It is not necessary to do it right away – checks for registration of tax free are valid 3 months .

    For registration you will need a Russian passport or a passport of a non-EU citizen.

    Reimbursable tax – approximately 15% .

    It should be mentioned that in Spain there are also territories with a special tax regime, such as the Canary Islands (where VAT is 5%), Ceuta or Melilla, and that certain goods, such as glasses and lenses, are subject to reduced VAT , for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands it is 8 percent instead of 21.

    The tax refund process usually proceeds as follows : You will immediately receive a special receipt upon purchase, in which you enter your passport details and address. The store takes the check, in return gives an envelope, which then needs to be given to the customs officer at the airport (see below about Alicante airport), he puts a stamp on the documents (sometimes he also asks him to show the goods described in the check, so go through this procedure BEFORE how to check in your luggage), then everything is put back in an envelope, sealed and dropped into a mailbox at the airport and sent to the address of the seller. Taxes are then transferred back to the card – if the purchase was paid by card. If in cash, then, depending on the store, you will either be immediately refunded the amount spent, or then sent by check to your home address.

    at Alicante Airport the customs officer is located on the arrivals floor (aka floor 0), opposite the “waiting room” seats. This is a closed office with a sign, to get inside, you need to ring the bell at the door.

    Spain and Madrid

    General information:
    Area: 504,750 sq. km.
    Population: 46.951.532
    Religion: 99% Catholic
    Capital: Madrid
    Form of government: constitutional monarchy
    Head of State: King Juan Carlos I
    Currency: euro

    Spain owes its name to the Phoenicians, who were the first of the non-Iberian tribes to land on the coast of the Iberian Peninsula and founded the city of Gadir, the current Cadiz – the oldest city in Western Europe, from where they conducted their trade. The Phoenicians defined the new territory as i-spn-ya, this name was interpreted by the Romans as “land abounding with rabbits”, Phoenician prefixi- “shore”, “land”, ya-region, spn- “rabbit”. Gradually, with a change in the language system, the name evolved, and is now pronounced as “Espana” in modern Spanish.

    The official language of the state, enshrined in the Constitution, is the Castilian language, which in common terminology is called Spanish.

    Castilian is the mother tongue of 89% of the Spanish population. Along with it, in some autonomous regions of the country, three more languages ​​\u200b\u200bare also considered official:

    – Catalan, which is spoken by 9% of the country’s population, is the official language in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, it is spoken by part of the inhabitants of Aragon in the border area with Catalonia, as well as in Valencia, but there it is called the Valencian language.

    – Galician (5% of the population) is spoken in the north-west of Spain in Galicia, it is also spoken in some parts of Asturias, Leon and Zamora, but it is not official there.

    – Euskera (1% of the population) – the language of the Basque Country and the northern part of Navarre, which has nothing in common with the Romance roots of the rest of the languages ​​​​of Spain, otherwise called the Basque language.

    Spain, or as it is also called, the Kingdom of Spain, is an independent democratic constitutional state and is a member of the European Union. Spain’s form of government is a parliamentary monarchy. The head of state is the king, whose throne is hereditary.

    Legislative power is represented by a bicameral parliament – the Cortes Generales: the lower house is the Congress of Deputies and the upper house is the Senate.

    Executive power is exercised by the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.

    In terms of area, Spain is the fourth country among the largest states in Europe after Russia, Ukraine and France, and in terms of the number of mountains, it is the most mountainous on the continent. In the northeast, Spain borders on France and the Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees, in the west – on Portugal, and on the British territory of Gibraltar in the south, and also has a maritime border with Morocco.

    The territory of Spain, with its capital in Madrid, occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula and includes two archipelagos: the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, as well as two autonomous cities: Ceuta and Melilla. Spain is called the State of Autonomies, and it is considered the most decentralized country in Europe, since all 17 autonomous regions are self-governing: each autonomy has its own health and education system, in some areas, such as Catalonia, there is a local police corps that replaces the National Police, performing it functions.

    In terms of population, the largest city in Spain is Madrid. The capitals of four more autonomous regions are also cities with a million inhabitants, namely: in Barcelona and the surrounding area, in the so-called “metropolitan area” 3.150.380 people live, in the Valencia metropolitan area – 1.810.663, and in Seville and the surrounding area – 1.438 .451 inhabitants. Other major cities in descending order: Malaga with a population of 965.371, Bilbao – 949.939, Asturias – 857.495, Alicante-Elche district 725.395 and Zaragoza – 688.643. In terms of inhabitants on the islands, the largest are Tenerife (Canary Islands) – 886.033 inhabitants, Mallorca (Balearic Islands) – 846. 210 and Gran Canaria – 829.597 inhabitants.

    The climate in Spain is very diverse. On the coast, it is mostly Mediterranean with mild temperatures, occasional rainfall throughout the year, and occasional summers. As you move inland, the climate becomes Mediterranean continental with low temperatures in winter and high summers, irregular rainfall, which is practically absent during the hot period. In the northwestern part of Spain, in Galicia and Cantabria, an oceanic climate prevails, characterized by an abundance of precipitation throughout the year, especially in winter, and average annual cool temperatures. In the mountains of the Pyrenees, Cantabria and the Canary Islands, temperatures drop below freezing in winter with an abundance of snow on the peaks. In the Canary Islands, the climate is subtropical with hot temperatures throughout the year and little rainfall, similar to the Andalusian coast in Malaga, Almeria, Granada province, but with milder temperatures. Hot and dry are the territories of Almeria (the famous desert of Tabernas), Granada (Guadix), Murcia and the Ebro valley.

    Madrid – the capital of Spain was founded as a fortress city in the Muslim era. Later, in 1083. after the conquest by the Christians, it became the main city of the province, and Madrid acquired the status of the capital in 1561, when King Philip II moved his residence there. This place was chosen because the kings loved to hunt in the dense forests of Madrid, in which bears and wild boars abounded, which is why the emblem of the city depicts a bear leaning on a tree, surrounded by seven stars from the constellation Ursa Major.

    At present, it is the largest and most densely populated city in the country, with 3,213,271 inhabitants, and if the suburbs are taken into account, this figure will increase to 6,043,031 inhabitants. Madrid is the third most populous city in the European Union after Berlin and London.

    The climate in Madrid is Mediterranean continental, which means cold winters, sometimes with snow, when the thermometer can drop to 4-5°C above zero, and hot summers with an average temperature of 24°C, and maximums in July and August reaching 40°C. C. The average annual temperature is 12 °C.

    On hot days, it’s nice to walk through the Retiro Park, located in the heart of the city, not far from the Puerta de Alcala arch, and then go to the Bullfighting Square – Plaza de Toros (1929), which is an example of neo-Mudejar style, with elements of Arabic architecture; or stroll through the botanical garden next to the Prado Museum. Shoppers can go shopping around the central square, the main attraction of Madrid – Puerta del Sol, which houses the monument “The Bear and the Strawberry Tree” – the symbol of the city. In this zone there are shops of world famous brands: Armani, Chanel, Gucci, Spanish brands Zara, Loewe, Cortefiel. Be sure to visit the famous Rastro street market, which opens on Sundays and public holidays in the Ribera de Curtidores street area. From Puerta del Sol, it is a stone’s throw to Cibeles Square, where the Cibeles Fountain, the buildings of the Bank of Spain and the Palacio de Comunicaciones are located – a beautiful architectural structure built in 1918, which now houses the City Hall of Madrid. Plaza Mayor is the old central square of Madrid, where each building has its own face and color. And, finally, after walking up, you can look into one of the classic literary cafes: Café Gijón (Paseo de Recoletos, 21) or Café Comercial (Glorieta de Bilbao, 7). A walk around Madrid will give all guests many unforgettable experiences, and you will want to come back here again and again.

    Walk along the Gràcia Avenue – Barcelona10

    The Gracia district is different from all of Barcelona, ​​it was a place of resistance even in Franco’s time and has retained its uniqueness and independence to this day. Residents of the area do not say “we are from Barcelona”, they always say “we are from Gracia”. This area is a place where young people and bohemian people gather, which is manifested in everything: small shops of local designers, art workshops, music concerts and much more. Artists, artists and just creative people from all over the city gather here.

    Gracia Avenue or Paseo de Gracia is one of the most important streets in Barcelona and almost the most contrasting. Here the desire to buy and interest in art, the most expensive brands and affordable goods collide. Walking in Gràcia is an essential part of a holiday in Barcelona. This is the very center of the city, it is convenient to get here both by taxi and by metro (Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal stations). And what you will find on this street, now we will tell.

    Gracia Avenue Stores

    Boutiques

    If you’re walking along Avenida Gracia from Plaza Catalunya, the right-hand side is more chic. The first store you come across will be Emporio Armani. Here you can buy a watch at a price of 200 euros, a sweater for about 1000 euros, trousers for 1500 euros, a coat will cost a little more than 3000 euros.

    The last of the luxury stores on the right hand side will be Prada. Glasses here cost 300-350 euros, sneakers are about 1000, trousers are the same, and a sweater can be found for 600 euros.

    Between these two stores there are their price segments: Trussardi, Swarovski, Burberry, Chanel, Gucci, Bvlgari, Dior, Boss, Rolex, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Versace. Some of them, however, chose the left side, but they are a minority and they are mostly located closer to Diagonal Street, the end of Gracia Avenue.

    Perhaps nowhere else in Barcelona you can find such a cluster of luxury brands. If you can afford a luxury vacation, then shopping is only on Gracia.

    Mid-range clothing

    Cheaper brands can also afford to rent buildings on Gracia Avenue. They charge by the number of items they sell, not by their cost. Mostly they are concentrated on the left side. Here you can find MANGO, Desingual, H&M, Oysho, Zara and Stradivarius. By the way, the Inditex company, which owns the last two, successfully proves that you can make a fortune on not very expensive clothes. Its creator and main shareholder, Amancio Ortega, has recently periodically overtaken Bill Gates on the Forbes list of billionaires. Although trousers in these stores can be bought on average for 30-40 euros, a sweater for the same price, and a coat from 60 to 100 euros.

    Sports shops

    On the left side you can also find Puma and Nike sports shops. In the latter, for fans of the Barcelona football club, there is equipment in which the players actually play matches. Store administrators say that they themselves sometimes come here to buy something.

    For the simplest sneakers here you will have to pay at least 200-250 euros. And for a T-shirt with the famous red and blue stripes – 140 euros. It should be understood that such prices are only for original branded fan products, and in street shops you can buy the same models only fakes or know-name 10 times cheaper.

    Books

    If during your visit to Barcelona you get tired of eating food and all sorts of goods and you suddenly want to read in Spanish, in the middle of Gracia Avenue on the right side you can find the largest bookstore Casa de Llibre. This name is in Catalan. There are books in Spanish, Catalan, English, French, German and other European languages.

    Attractions of the Gracia Avenue

    Another part of the cultural activities on this street are the buildings of Antoni Gaudí.

    La Pedrera or Casa Mila is at the very end, near Diagonal Avenue on the right hand side. A visit there costs 24 euros for adults, 18.5 euros for students and pensioners, 12 euros for children from 7 to 12 years old. For those younger, it’s free.

    To skip the line, order tickets through the site, the price includes an audio guide in Russian, so you can save on the guide. By the way, there is a special night ticket to Mila’s house.

    The building is open to visitors from 09:00 to 20:30 and from 21:00 to 23:00 seven days a week.

    It got its name, La Pedrera, from its unusual shape. Direct translation – quarry. During the period when it was built, the townspeople believed that it spoils the view of Barcelona (the analogy with the Eiffel Tower, which spoiled the views of Paris, immediately comes to mind), but now there are queues of tourists to Mila’s house. By the way, there is one interesting engineering nuance in architecture – in summer, in the heat, the building keeps cool without air conditioning, which is rare for Barcelona.

    Casa Batlló is on the left side of the street in the middle. The cost of an adult ticket is 25 euros, reduced for pensioners, students, children 22 euros. Entry is free for preschoolers. Visiting hours from 9:00 to 21:00 hours.

    You can save money and buy a complex entrance ticket to 3 buildings of Gaudí – Batlló, Mila and Vincença at once, it will cost 63 euros. You can order here.

    This building is a landmark in the work of Gaudí. It was on this building that he decided to move away from the classical canons of architecture.

    Restaurants in Gracia

    To take a break from cultural impressions and kilometers of shopping areas, you can go somewhere to eat, since there are enough good restaurants in Gracia. For example, in a cozy cafe Pomarada with an average check per person of 30-40 euros. The establishment offers Mediterranean cuisine, especially praised by the fisherman’s paella and apple sangria. This place is only 3-4 minutes walk from Casa Mila, a little off the tourist trail. The restaurant has a pleasant terrace on the second floor.

    Locals would recommend Bo De Gracia is a restaurant with a special mini-market format where you can sit at the bar and buy groceries. Atmospheric place, very tasty food and wine, and most importantly, fast service. Address Carrer de la Diputacio, 269.

    Tapas bar Bruc33Tapas , you guessed it, specializes in tapas and other lunches according to original recipes. per person a small lunch will cost 15-25 euros.

    They are adjacent to McDonalds and Pans&Company , where the average check may not exceed 10 euros. In the latter, by the way, you can try bocadillos, a traditional Spanish dish when a variety of fillings are placed in a baguette. But do not forget that this is fast food, and you should try real bocadillos in small family restaurants and bars in the old town.

Canary Islands Volcano: Mapping La Palma Lava Flow & Damage

  • Use Cases
  • 2 mins read
  • Share

On Sunday the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands started erupting causing the destruction of 300 homes and forcing the evacuation of more than 6,000 residents. Thankfully no casualties have been reported so far but there are fears the lava could trigger a powerful chemical reaction and the release of toxic gases when it reaches the sea less than 2km away.

The lava flow has advanced more than 14 hectares in the past 36 hours and continues to destroy everything in its path. Our team has been mapping the flow, both actual and modeled, in order to estimate its inexorable advance to the sea and the potential damage to property based on a number of data sources as described below.

Mapping Actual Lava Flow & Damage

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) from Europe provides great data almost daily on the situation on the ground. Using that data we can overlay the current extent of the lava.

By using data from the, just released, Open Buildings dataset from Google we can see where buildings are:

If you want to explore this full dataset in fact we have created a simple app for that using our BigQuery Tiler.

And by intersecting them together we can see which buildings have been destroyed:

And finally by using a lava flow model, developed by the Universidad de La Laguna and published by the Cabildo de La Palma we can make different scenarios on what other buildings are at risk:

Putting these data layers together, we can visualize in a brief video:

Modeling Future Lava Flow & Property Damage

Spatial data and analysis can be used in this way within catastrophe modeling to estimate the economic impact of extreme events and set the early response.

In this other map we look at the same data but aggregate it by the number of buildings. The higher the column, the more buildings that are in the path of the lava flow. Additionally the colors represent the distance from the lava flow model.

Here at CARTO we would like to express our solidarity with the people of La Palma, and we will be offering our help and support during the difficult period that lies ahead.

La Palma Island, Spain: reviews, weather, map

La Palma is the westernmost island of the Canary archipelago, also known as Isla Verde and Isla Bonita, which means Green and Beautiful, respectively. Indeed, in comparison with the amazing, but not endowed with luxurious vegetative “hair”, Tenerife La Palma instantly conquers with wonderful green landscapes. The nature of the island is unique: it has been given the status of a biosphere reserve.

La Palma is not entangled in a dense network of a huge number of hotels, cafes and entertainment centers, although all of the above is available: the island cannot be called boring or uncomfortable. The most interesting and memorable is walking along specially laid routes in the stunningly beautiful natural parks of the island.

A trip to La Palma is an opportunity to be surprised and admire the unique landscape design that nature has been creating for many thousands of years. And, of course, sunbathing on the “stylish” beaches covered with black sand, swimming in the transparent sea and viewing the creations of human hands, erected centuries ago in Santa Cruz de la Palma, the capital of the island.

History of La Palma

Like all the Canary Islands, La Palma arose after a volcanic eruption that occurred about 2 million years ago. According to historians, the mysterious Benajoares once lived on the island – they are credited with creating petroglyphs found on rocks in different parts of the island.

It is known that before the Spanish colonization at the beginning of the ⅩⅤⅼ century, La Palma was inhabited by the Guanches – the inhabitants of the Canary Islands, who lived for 2000 years in almost complete isolation from other civilizations. The fate of the natives is deplorable: some died from diseases introduced by the Spaniards, some were sold into slavery. The colonialists “allocated” the island to a Christian patron saint, after whom it was named: San Miguel de la Palma.

La Palma attractions and tourism

As mentioned above, tourism does not dominate the island, and this can only be rejoiced at. Although the beaches of La Palma are good, they are few due to the peculiarities of the coast, which is an almost continuous line of rocks. In addition to the “classic” ones, offering an ordinary beach holiday, there are specialized ones: Playa Nueva suitable for surfing and nudist Las Monjas.

Popular resorts of La Palma: quiet Los Cancajos on the east coast and cheerful Puerto Naos on the west. Of course, there are well-equipped beaches in the capital: one of them stretches all the way to the port.

  1. Santa Cruz de la Palma. The main man-made attraction of the island is its capital. Here, the ancient coastal streets, built up with magnificent buildings, mainly in the Renaissance style, are perfectly preserved.
  1. Caldera de Taburiente National Park. Natural attraction No. 1, which is a giant basin (caldera) on the site of a once-existing volcano. Now it is a flourishing fertile valley. For connoisseurs of comfort, special areas for rest and snacks are organized, even with barbecue facilities.
  1. Barranco de las Angustias. The most picturesque gorge, overgrown with lush vegetation.
  2. Caves formed during volcanic activity.
  3. Tenegua and San Antonio volcanoes.

Number of inhabitants of La Palma

The population of the island is approximately 87,000 people.

Climate, nature and ecology of La Palma

The landscape of the south of the island is decorated with a mountain range, more precisely, a ridge of volcanic cones, ending in the south with the dormant volcano Tenegua. In the north is the highest mountain of La Palma – Roque de Los Muchachos (2426 m), as well as the world’s largest caldera Taburiente with a diameter of more than 10 km (a vast basin formed after an eruption at the site of the crater). At the top of the mountain there is an observatory with the largest telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. True, it is closed to the public.

More than a third of the island is occupied by pine forests and laurel groves. La Palma is the only island in the archipelago where there are, albeit small, rivers. The soils of the island are fertile, so agriculture is developed here.

La Palma is located in a subtropical arid climate zone, with no significant changes in weather conditions throughout the year. Daytime temperatures in winter are +18⁰ … +21⁰, in summer: +25⁰ … +28⁰. The sea warms up to a comfortable +22⁰ in early June and begins to cool down only in early November. The water temperature never drops below +18⁰, but not everyone likes a refreshing swim. The amount of precipitation is low and is about 300 mm per year. Rains are more common in late autumn and early spring.

The easiest way to get to the Beautiful Green Island is by plane: not far from the capital there is an airport that even accepts international flights. There is also a ferry service to neighboring islands.

La Palma – description, attractions and nature of the city

Canary Islands

Description La Palma.

La Palma is a small island with an area of ​​728 sq. km, located in the northwestern part of the Canary Islands. More than 87 thousand people live on the island. The island is of volcanic origin and is over two million years old. The original culture, the beautiful unspoiled nature of the island, shaped like a pear, are ideal for those who love a relaxing holiday.

Nature of La Palma.

All year round La Palma is dressed in green. The flora of the island is rich and diverse, some of the plants are endemic. Pine forests, lava fields with dry vegetation, banana and almond trees, cactus, laurel forests and a dragon tree grow here. True, there are no large wild animals on the island, the largest of them is the rabbit. Despite the abundant vegetation, the island is inhabited by a small number of birds. Beautiful birds during the flight sometimes stop here.
The coast of the island is mostly rocky, so there are few beaches compared to other islands in the archipelago and they are less crowded.
There are many mountains on the island. The highest point is the top of Roque de los Muchachos (2426 m). In the northern part of the island, at an altitude of 500 to 1500 m, there are forests of cherry laurel, the last representatives of such forests that once covered the entire south of Europe. The ravines of Galga and Los Tilos Kubo are recognized natural biosphere reserves and timber repositories. There are special routes for tourists here.

Towns and sights La Palma.

Santa Cruz, the capital of the island, attracts the attention of tourists with ancient buildings with beautiful wooden balconies and narrow streets. No less attractive is the small triangular Plaza de España with an interesting stone fountain. There is also the Church of the Redeemer with a bell tower, the Town Hall. There is also a fortress and the Maritime Museum in the capital in the form of Columbus’ ship Santa Maria.

The largest and busiest city on the western side of La Palma is Los Llanos de Aridane. The old city center and the streets around it have retained their original character. In areas remote from the center, there are modern buildings. Since 2001, many huge buildings have been erected in the city, including the Babel Brueghel tower.

Other places of interest La Palma.

Nature lovers can visit the Palmitos Butterfly Sanctuary with 230 species of exotic birds, Caldera de Taburiente National Park, opened in 1954. The park is a huge crater formed as a result of a volcanic eruption, the diameter of which reaches 8 km, the depth is 2 km.

The International Astrophysical Observatory has a telescope that is considered the largest in Europe.

There are black sand beaches, yacht clubs, fishing clubs.

On the island, in the area of ​​La Sarza, cave dwellings were discovered where the first inhabitants of La Palma lived, with petroglyphs and paved paths through the mountains.

    Useful information

    What you need to know


    • What awaits you here

      Visiting the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, you can discover this mountainous area with picturesque landscapes, hills, sinkholes, caves, precipices and much more. The park’s cave complex includes Sima Honda, Cueva de la Tinaja, Sima del Aire and Sima Presta. They are interconnected and attract speleologists from all over the world. This zone is also known for its reservoirs and springs (there is a resort with healing mineral waters in Tolox) and for the fact that there is the world’s largest outcrop of peridotites – rocks of igneous origin, which are distinguished bright colors and are among the rarest in the earth’s crust. One of the most interesting representatives of the local flora is Spanish fir, a Mediterranean variety of pine, which is a real botanical relic. It grows only in the mountainous areas of the provinces of Cadiz and Malaga, and its most striking example is the natural monument of Las Esscaleretas in Parauta. However, here you can also see holm oak and cork oak groves, mountain streams and coastal forests. The most famous of the local fauna is the Iberian tur. The park is a real paradise for bird watchers: about 150 species live here, including birds of prey such as golden eagle, peregrine falcon and eagle owl. Other native species of fauna include the blenny, the indigenous crayfish and several groups of bats.

    • Routes in the park

      One of the most famous hiking trails in this area is the so-called “Great Malaga Trail” (GR 249). This route, 650 kilometers long, consists of 35 stages and passes through the entire region. There are also various trails in the park: Charco de la Virgen (in Tolox, 5 km long), Quejigales – Torrecilla (7 km), Puerto Saucillo – Puerto Bellina (4.2 km) and Burgo – La Fuensanta (5.1 km). In Tolox, you can also follow the interesting route of Las Cascades (10.1 km) to admire beautiful waterfalls, for example , Barranco de la Regia, where water falls vertically from a height of 51 meters.

    • Watch out in this region…

      When traveling to the Sierra de las Nieves, you should definitely visit the picturesque villages with whitewashed houses and admire the beauty of their winding narrow streets, decorated with bougainvilleas and roses. Visit famous towns such as Ronda, where Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles visited, and take pictures of the picturesque New Bridge. These white villages are surrounded by mountains and were once inhabited by representatives of different civilizations, thanks to which churches, castles, traditional rural Cortijo houses, necropolises, as well as the remains of a Roman road in Monde. Ancient customs form the basis of local gastronomy, as you can see by visiting the museums of wine and olive oil in Ojén or tasting a typical goat stew. Among the local holidays, the Flour Carnival in Alosain and the Ash Festival in Tolox are of particular interest. The Moorish Moon Festival in Guaro deserves a special mention. Don’t leave here without visiting the various scenic spots, such as the many viewpoints, the banks of the Verde River, or the natural areas of El Juanar, La Fuensanta and Los Sauces. And in autumn, head to the forest of Bosque de Cobre in Juncker. On the territory of the park or in its surroundings, you can engage in various types of outdoor activities offered by various companies. Excursions by off-road jeep (some of them include information about flora and fauna, visiting a white village, swimming in a river and lunch in a typical restaurant), guided cycling routes, horseback riding, canyoning, caving, hiking, rock climbing and much more other.

Adeje | Tenerife



​​

Although Adeje started out as a small village near the mountains, the tourism boom during the second half of the last century turned its coast into one of Europe’s most important holiday destinations. Adeje combines its charm as a little country enclave, full of trails and fascinating natural landscapes, with a range of top notch 4 and 5 star hotels. Theme parks, beaches and leisure options such as whale and dolphin watching make it an all-encompassing holiday resort.











The municipality of Adeje is located in the south-west of the Island and covers a surface area of 105.94 km2 (40.9 sq miles), making it Tenerife’s sixth largest municipality. It is here that some of the Island’s most ancient geological materials have been found, and the erosive force of the wind has carved such impressive sculptures as the Roque del Conde rock formation or the summit of Pico de Abinque. Also worthy of mention is the Barranco del Infierno (Hell’s Ravine), which has been designated a Special Nature Reserve, as well as the phreatomagmatic crater of Caldera del Rey. More than 45% of the municipality’s land is covered by protected nature areas.

Moreover, the town of Villa de Adeje is steeped in history, dating back to before the Spanish conquest. As proof of the historic legacy it has built up over the years, its historic quarter is home to significant architectural monuments such as Casa Fuerte and the Church of Santa Úrsula.

In recent years, the municipality’s coastal area has undergone considerable development. Known as Costa Adeje, it boasts a top quality hotel industry and plenty of leisure, nature, relaxation and sports options (with special mention to be made of its golf course).

Adeje also has 14 beaches made of different colour sand where visitors can swim all year round thanks to an average annual temperature of 24 ºC (75 ºF), with roughly 300 days of sunshine a year.

Another great asset is its wealth of sea life, housing one of the world’s most important colonies of cetaceans: pilot whales, dolphins and other species of sea mammals can be seen swimming placidly in its waters. This makes for a great natural show that you can watch from one of the boats that head out specially.

The beauty of Adeje’s ocean floors, inhabited by over 500 species, makes this municipality a favourite destination for divers. Adeje has a great network of diving centres that give lessons, organise diving trips and sell or rent out diving equipment. Adeje also has the Tenerife Top Training centre for the keenest and more proficient divers, equipped with some of the most modern facilities in Europe, attracting divers from all over the world to the municipality. The centre has an Olympic swimming pool, a warm-up pool and the only hydrodynamic flow channel in Spain.

Adeje’s beautiful and jolly traditional celebrations are very much enjoyed by visitors. The festivities in honour of the Patron Saint, for instance, gather hundreds of people wishing to pay homage to San Sebastián, Santa Úrsula and La Virgen de la Encarnación, with adorned wagons, street dancers and pageants.

Walking-hiking routes

One of the great pleasures you will find in Adeje is the chance to go out hiking. All it takes is a pair of walking boots and the energy to set out on one of its many trails that lead to stunning and hidden places. The south-west of Tenerife comprises seven protected nature areas that will welcome you to roam through its unique landscapes. One of the trails sets off from Boca del Paso and leads hikers to the old hamlet of La Quinta, which dates back to the 16th century and reveals what is left of the area’s vital agricultural tradition.

The trail of Roque del Conde is a little more demanding, but rewards hikers with breathtaking views over the south of Tenerife from atop the rock formation that the trail is named after, which stands 1,000 m (3,280 ft) above sea level. The more traditional trail of Ifonche combines stretches of pine forest with some of Adeje’s traditional farmland on its way through three Protected Nature Areas, covering a distance of 6.4 km (4 miles).

For those in search of a challenge, the trail of Teresme takes just over six hours to walk and climbs 1,951 m (6,400 ft) in altitude from the bottom to the top. The trail starts at the gateway to the house of Casa Fuerte and passes along the path that allowed the movement of people and goods from the coast up into the hills in times gone by.

The trail of La Encarnación or La Virgen traces the journey that the people of Adeje would historically take as they transported the figure of the Virgin from La Enramada to the chapel of Santa Úrsula de la Villa. The reason was to protect this religious figure from pirates in the 16th century, but today the sculpture is symbolically transported to the chapel as a tribute to this tradition. From there, the trail heads down to the coast, near the area of Tosca Colorada, where hikers will see etched into the ground the ruts left by old carts and wagons. The path passes a place known as El Humilladero, which is where the figure of La Virgen de la Encarnación was first worshipped, and it ends by the old chapel of San Sebastián.

Horse-riding routes

There are several companies that organise outings on horse back for amateurs and accomplished riders, with a variety of trails along the coast or through the hills in Adeje. With options to suit all age groups, they also offer horse riding and jumping lessons.

Mountain Biking routes

Whether you come equipped with your own bike or decide to hire one here, Adeje has a range of roads and country tracks for all levels, making for a lot of fun and exercise in the countryside.

The town of Adeje in Tenerife

General presentation
The historic heart of Adeje, rich colors, is typical Canarian style with volcanic stones. The municipality is doing everything to develop it.

With significant population growth in the region, new residential areas develop in Adeje. Indeed, many people working in the southern hotels choose to reside there.

The town of Adeje is a town located in the southwest of the island of Tenerife. It is located on a mountainside, just a few kilometers from the tourist coastal area of “Costa Adeje”.

The city is crossed by several small ravines called “barrancos” in Spanish. Accessible by South highway, this town manages its neighbor Arona, tourist centers of Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Playa de Los Christianos.

The Church of St. Ursula (Iglesia de Santa Úrsula)
The church St. Ursula is one of the oldest churches in the island of Tenerife, and dates from the early sixteenth century; it houses the image of the patron saint of Adeje, Our Lady of the Incarnation (Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación), sixteenth century, baroque altarpiece and a. To also note the Mudéjar ceiling of the main chapel, the French tapestries of the seventeenth century purchased at the Manufacture Royale des Gobelins in Paris. The image of the Virgin of the German school of the seventeenth century.
The Strong House (Casa Fuerte)
La Casa Fuerte was built in 1556 by Pedro de Ponte to defend his properties. He was Marquis of Adeje and Count of La Gomera.
The village of Costa Adeje
After Playa de Las Américas begins Costa Adeje, with well known urbanisations as: Playa del Duque, Fañabé, Torviscas and San Eugenio, very well equipped. From the Marina Colón are organized fishing trips and promenades. One can also visit the Tropical Garden of Las Rocas.
The village of Playa de Las Américas
The Ravine of Hell (Barranco del Infierno)
The Barranco del Infierno (the “gorge of hell”) is a ravine to the point of which flows into the largest waterfall Valley Tenerife, which feeds water from the source of El Roque Abinque.

The short hike begins in the town of Adeje. The hiking trail, well appointed, starts at about 200 m from the ravine and goes to the side of the mountain on the southwest side. The path is not difficult, because it has a width of about 1 m; in the steep passages is secured by wooden stakes.

Spectacular waterfall, the dragon clinging to the cliffs or the hygrophilous vegetation are all of interest to this hike.

Crater King (Caldera del Rey)
The natural monument of the Caldera del Rey, close to tourist urbanisations of Las Américas, could not escape their destructive effects. However, it is a protected area formed by a maar (type of volcanic edifice produced by phreato-magmatic activity) even where there was a specific microclimate.
Other Interests
Other protected areas of Adeje are the cliffs (Alcantilados de Adeje), or the ravine Barranco de Erques and Alcantilados Costeros and part of the forest crown.

Beach more, worry less—give in to leisure island living

Set on the Canary Island of Tenerife, just off the northwestern coast of Africa, Costa Adeje is a tiny seaside village surrounded by a gaggle of other laid-back beach communities. No matter what time of year you book a Costa Adeje vacation rental, you’ll enjoy outdoor adventures in a region known for its massive water parks. If you prefer to cool off in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean, make your way to the town’s sandy beaches. Based an hour northeast of town, the snow-covered peaks of Mount Teide offer a dramatic contrast to the beaches of Costa Adeje.

Things to do

Wet and wild adventures—slipping and sliding into fun

Your Costa Adeje vacation rental places you near a host of family-friendly attractions. Kids and adults of all ages will have loads of fun at Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje, 2 area water parks with a wide array of waterslides and swimming pools. Jungle Park, a popular wild animal park, gives you the chance to come face to face with nature through exhibits and live animal shows. If you’re looking for a playground for grown-ups, you’re in luck! Casino Playa de las Americas is a bustling waterfront casino that features gaming tables, slot machines, and numerous restaurants.

Activities

Splish splash! Make the ocean your home away from home

The sandy beaches of Costa Adeje invite you to enjoy a leisurely afternoon of sunbathing and picnicking. Those looking to expend some energy can try their hand at jet skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, or snorkeling. Area companies also offer popular whale- and dolphin-watching excursions. If you want to slow down for a minute, grab a drink from a beachfront bar or spend the day shopping at Siam Mall, a 2-story complex with more than 70 stores and restaurants. Just 12 minutes away by car, Barranco del Infierno, a gorge filled with hiking trails and magnificent waterfalls, caters to nature buffs.

Weather

Live in the sunshine and soak up the rays

Natural features

From the tallest mountains to the deepest waters

The scenery in Costa Adeje looks like something out of a postcard as clear blue waves crash onto sandy shores, and rocky coastlines are dotted with swaying palm trees. The modest peaks of Chayofita Mountain and Guaza Mountain serve as the town’s backdrop and hiking trails to both summits offer panoramic views of the watery landscape. And if that isn’t majestic enough, make the hour drive to Mount Teide National Park, home to a 12,000-foot volcano, the highest point in Spain. A cable car takes you to the top of the mountain where you can peek inside the crater.

Guayarmina Princess, 4-star adults only resort in Tenerife

  • 4-Star resort
  • Costa Adeje, South Tenerife
  • Adults only (16+)
  • Renovated in 2018
  • On the beachfront
  • B&B, half board, full board and all-inclusive
  • Premium gastronomy
  • Spa Aqua Princess
  • Our hotel with spa in Costa Adeje has three wonderful outdoor pools on different levels where you can rest and sunbathe while enjoying the very best services, one of which is the exclusive Platinum area.
  • Latest generation gym

Our adults only hotel Guayarmina Princess is on the beachfront in Costa Adeje, in southern Tenerife, only 150 metres from Fañabé Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, with grey volcanic sand, calm waters and a Blue Flag certification for the outstanding quality of its water and services and its significant natural value.

This impressive 4-star hotel in Costa Adeje is on the beachfront and offers all board types, even all inclusive. Furthermore, it was renovated in 2018 and its impressive Greco-Roman architecture and sophisticated interior design make a visit well worth it.

With an unbeatable location, our 4-star resort in south Tenerife is named after a noble aboriginal Canary princess. It is in one of the most touristic parts of the island, which makes its promenade, which can be reached directly from the hotel, a lively location with a wide range of services: gastronomy (bars and restaurants all along the promenade), shopping centre and shops and even a tourist information office.

Thanks to its location on the beachfront, most of the 505 rooms have wonderful sea views over the Atlantic Ocean, or the vibrant and touristic Costa Adeje, where the leisure options are endless.

Inside the hotel, the new spa is a magnificent wellness space fully dedicated to our guests’ health and wellbeing.

It has an indoor freshwater pool at 26-27ºC (48 m2) with massage jets, Turkish bath, sauna, Bali beds and massage cabins (a double cabin in the interior for couples’ massages).

It also has a chill-out area with sunbeds decorated with natural materials and an eco-chic style that perfectly matches this space designed to allow our clients maximum wellness and relaxation.

The spa also offers cosmetic and beauty services: hairdressing, manicure and pedicure.

Our hotel with spa in Costa Adeje has three wonderful outdoor pools on different levels where you can rest and sunbathe while enjoying the very best services, one of which is the exclusive Platinum area.

Gastronomy is synonymous with excellence in our hotel. Buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at our Food Market, the main restaurant with its live cooking stations.

Another option for dinner is available at the restaurant “The Roast”, where you can delight your taste buds with meat specialties.

What is more, guests who want an extra dash of exclusivity and have booked one of the Platinum rooms can enjoy the new Platinum area with exclusive services and facilities. Among them are the Platinum Lounge, with its very own restaurant, and the Platinum Sun Terrace, which includes an infinity pool with a chill-out bar, the very best sea views and Bali beds.

Platinum guests can also have dinner in the à la carte restaurant Platinum Club. The entire hotel has three restaurants where you can enjoy a wide variety of choice dishes.

Guayarmina Princess offers many diverse bars, as many as 6 with distinct personalities, one of which is in the Platinum area. You can calmly sit with a book while the sea breeze surrounds you, spend a romantic evening with your significant other and enjoy the sea views or while away a fun evening with friends.

Fañabé Beach

Located next to Torviscas Beach, it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife. What makes it even more enticing is that it is usually emptier than other beaches in the area, like El Duque Beach.

But lots of people still come throughout the year, on account of its being in a lively area where one can come for a pleasant holiday at any time of the year, even in winter.

On days with high visibility, the views from this beach are wonderful and one can see as far as La Gomera Island. Contemplating the sunset on this beach is one of the loveliest pleasures you can enjoy in this unique part of Tenerife.

Just as beautiful as any of the other most popular beaches on the island, Fañabé Beach is known for its accessibility (reserved parking, access ramps and walkways) and its safety, as its waters are very calm due to the lack of winds (this is because it is on the least windy part of the island, the south-west, and is sheltered by a breakwater), which means that safe swimming for the whole family is a bonus worth taking into account.

But the fun on Tenerife is not limited to its beaches! Our hotel in Costa Adeje Guayarmina Princess is very close to other places of interest where families can enjoy themselves, such as the popular water parks Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje (23 and 16 minutes away respectively), among others, or the unique Camel Park and Monkey Park (both 10 minutes away). These are only a few examples of all the fun and adventure that await on the island!

And if you have some cultural and/or active tourism in mind, below is a list of interesting outdoor activities. Check them out!

Sightseeing: what to see in Costa Adeje

Guayarmina Princess is also close to several places of interest such as the famous Barranco del Infierno in the protected Barranco del Infierno Special Natural Reserve. The route, which begins 350 metres above sea level, is an essential activity, as it takes you by charming waterfalls, ancient canals and spectacular vantage points. The panoramic views over the landscape are breath-taking.

A lesser known trail is the one that leads up the Mount Chayofita, very near our hotel, where you will not only be able to enjoy a pleasant walk through Tenerife’s gorgeous landscapes but also discover an exceptionally quiet site from which to contemplate the sunset far from the madding crowd.

Also near our hotel you will find the Roque del Conde or Roque de Hío, a tabletop mountain that, at its highest point, is 1,001 metres above sea level (the largest on the Canary Islands), making it an ideal trekking destination (along the Roque del Conde trail). Then there is also La Quinta – Boca del Paso (Taucho), an ancient mansion (and chapel) dating back to the late 16th century. Here you will explore the remains of the activities carried out at this site.

Lastly, we cannot forget to mention all these famous must-sees: the Teide Natural Park, the cliffs of Los Gigantes, Martiánez Lake, the Pyramids of Guímar, Drago Milenario, Orotava Valley… The list is endless on the island of Tenerife. Come find out for yourself!

        SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY

        For Be Live Hotels, it is very important to provide a safe and friendly environment to our employees, customers and suppliers in each of our hotels.
        For this reason, we have the tools that provide us a preventive control in the following health and safety areas:

        1. Fire protection
        We have fire emergency procedures. All our hotels have an endorsed and updated self-protection Plan. Fire-fighting equipments are reviewed periodically. We provide training to our staff annually.

        2. Food hygiene
        Our staff handling food has the corresponding license. By means of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), control measures are applied in the potential dangers and risks in terms of food hygiene. In addition, every year pest controls are performed.

        3. Pools, Spa and Hydromassage bathtub
        We have placed warning panels informing about the safety standards on the use of the pool and relax areas. There are emergency procedures and guidelines that are strictly followed to keep vessels clean and disinfected.

        4. General safety
        Technical Building Codes are met in order to reduce the possibility of injuries caused by slips, trips and falls.

        5. Fossil fuels, heating, air conditioning and electrical systems installations
        Our maintenance staff receives continuous training to reduce the possibilities of a poor performance in an emergency event due to lack of knowledge of the procedure. Gas appliances, air conditioners, heating and electrical systems are installed, checked and maintained by qualified persons. We have procedures for refrigerant gas leak detection.

        6. Security in the handling of chemicals and hazardous substances
        All the staff handling chemicals receives training. Work Instructions and Best Practices are available and explained by the Environment Manager of the hotel, and they are also placed near the product.

        7. Water management
        We take daily, weekly, monthly and annual measures in order to prevent pollution of the water for human consumption, both hot and cold. In addition, all hotels have authorization for the connection to public sewer systems and analytical testing is carried out regularly.

        8. Occupational Risk Prevention
        The occupational risk prevention team visits our establishments every year to ensure the safety of our employees.

      • Be Responsive We commit to undertaking initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility.

        ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

        The Senior Management of BE LIVE HOTELS tourist accommodation is committed to protecting the environment and strives to reduce the operational impact of our establishments.
        We continuously look for opportunities to minimize waste generation through recycling, reduction and reuse of waste.
        We assess our activities, products and services and monitor their impact on the environment, both present and future, in order to prevent pollution from the outset.

        We effectively and efficiently manage hazardous substances, by training the staff and authorized managers.
        We involve all our stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors and local community) in the management of environmental processes with the aim to promote their support and recognition.
        We appreciate the natural surroundings in which our establishments are located, from the local flora and fauna to the local community, in such a way that we actively collaborate in their preservation and economic growth.
        We establish criteria in the selection of suppliers on the basis of their commitment to the environment, through the prevention and control of carbon emissions generated by the transport of goods.

        We fit out specific areas such as recycling bins in communal areas that enable everyone to recycle waste, as well as recycling points for the management of hazardous and special waste.
        We give recognition to our hotel staff by publishing in Be News their efforts, a magazine that is distributed to agencies, tour operators and end customers during trade fairs.
        We work in compliance with international, national and regional legislation.
        We set targets and goals in order to efficiently manage, and also to not waste, water and energy.
        We involve our staff and younger kids with the aim of raising awareness about the future of our planet.
        We hold and maintain up-to-date this policy, which is available to everyone through all channels (website, Channel TV, tablets and information panels).

      • Be CO2 Less We work to reduce and recycle waste.

        We work to reduce and recycle waste.

      • Be Children We do not hire minors in support of the eradication of child labour.

        POLICY AGAINST CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

        For Be Live Hotels, tourism is an important source of revenues for countries, areas and places and brings undoubted benefits such as economic development, cultural exchange and international promotion of a particular place, among others.

        Tourism is increasingly more accessible for everyone and a growing number of people have the opportunity to visit more places. However, in the same proportion that tourism has increased, undesirable situations have arisen, such as sex trafficking of children and adolescents.

        The tourist infrastructure that serves to facilitate the accommodation of customers and helps them to enjoy a good vacation can be also, unconsciously, a space to promote and engage in sexual activities with minors.

        In this sense, the tourism sector has a great social responsibility to avoid these harmful situations in the communities and, therefore, we must act together to prevent child abuse.

        Be Live Hotels rejects this type of tourism and therefore:

        1. We maintain a policy of opposition to child sexual exploitation

        2. We do not allow the commercialization of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in our facilities

        3. We raise awareness among our employees about the problem, and we also inform them about the existing laws and the risk of not reporting it

        4. We train all the staff in order to identify and report suspicious activities

        5. We work in compliance with the applicable laws and cooperate with governmental and non-governmental organizations prosecuting these offences

        Procedure:

        If an employee suspects that a child is suffering from abuse of any kind, he/she must notify immediately his/her manager and provide detailed information about what he/she has heard or seen or, failing that, he/she must inform the competent authorities handling gender-based violence or child sexual abuse, by calling 062.

        As humans, we are committed to protecting our children and adolescents against exploitation of all kinds, both professionally and personally.

      • Be Eco Be Live Hotels is committed to adopting measures to reduce the environmental impact.

        Be Live Hotels is committed to adopting measures to reduce the environmental impact.

      • Be Community We commit to buying raw materials from local producers, in order to guarantee sustainable development and thus contribute to the reduction of emissions.

        SOCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY

        The senior management of Be Live Hotels hotel chain aims to ensure good relations among the establishment, the local community and its businesses.
        Be Live Hotels ensures that its social and economic impacts are beneficial to the local community, where possible. In this way, the establishment strives to minimize and eliminate any possible negative impact.
        The objectives of the Management Policy with the community are as follows:

        – Certification. In order to meet the criteria of sustainability, including socio-economic impacts and well-being of the staff, the establishment is putting all its efforts to obtain the Travelife Gold certification during this year.

        – Promotion of responsible tourism in the area. Be Live Hotels undertakes to maintain a close relationship with the local community, ensuring the respect of the area where our hotels are located, warning our customers about the importance of caring for and protecting the flora and fauna of the place, and also to not participate in the sale of zoo tickets or any place in which animals are the main attraction.
        Our hotel chain is committed to local trade of each hotel, and therefore, local theme dinners are organized weekly in our restaurants and buffets in order to promote and make known the local food.

        – Purchasing policy. Be Live Hotels buys and promotes products that are produced locally, ensuring that they meet the preventive measures of health and safety, in addition to the quality required by our customers. This fact helps to reduce CO2 emissions resulting from the transport of products produced outside the location of our hotels.

        – Employment. The establishment recognizes the importance of employing local staff as a preference, in order to collaborate with the local economy. The policy preserves the place of destination, which is the basis for future customers and for those who repeat destination.

        – Donations and social contributions. Our hotel chain donates articles such as furniture or bed linen, which are not used anymore in the business, to local organizations that can take advantage of them (Cáritas, schools, hospitals, other NGOs…)

        Be Live Hotels collaborates with Make a Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with serious and terminal illnesses.
        Be Live Hotels collaborates actively in local festivals informing customers and organizing local theme dinners at the hotel. Likewise, the hotel facilities are offered for the use and enjoyment of the local community.

      • Be health and safety We continually take steps to ensure the health and safety of our customers and employees.

Warmest part of spain in winter: Winter in Spain – 5 Warmest Places to Visit in Spain

Where To Go In Spain For Winter Sun

Contrary to popular belief, some places in Spain are actually pretty chilly in the winter. However, there are destinations where the sun still shines every day and temperatures are warm enough that you can spend the day at the beach, without the summer crowds. Here is our selection of the best places to go in Spain for winter sun.

The Canary Islands

Winter in the Canary Islands is extremely mild. During the coldest months, temperatures rarely go below 20℃. Atlantic depressions can bring increased rainfall and the occasional storm across the archipelago, but in general, the weather is pleasantly warm. 

The heat and tropical weather have created the perfect habitat for exotic plants such as dragon trees and animals such as lizards to flourish. All of the Canary Islands offer a general year-round tropical climate, however, there is slightly less chance of rainfall in the southern islands.

 

Stay in Tenerife’s most southern part for the hottest and driest climate in the winter months. Temperatures barely fall below 18℃ during the day, making Tenerife one of the most attractive beach holiday destinations in Europe all-year-round. For some of the best beaches in Tenerife to soak up some winter sun, head to resorts such as Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas and the Costa Adeje. 

For wind and kitesurfers, take a trip to El Médano beach in southern Tenerife. The section furthest from the town is the best place for watersports. In the winter months, you can enjoy the long stretch of golden sand with virtually no one around. This beach experiences almost 300 days of trade winds. For this reason, The World Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Championships has been held here many times over the years.

Stay in southern Gran Canaria for a winter holiday. Gran Canaria is commonly known as ‘The island of eternal Spring,’ and with good reason as temperatures in winter rarely dip below 16℃. The island experiences warm sunny days, nice enough for you to head to one of Gran Canaria’s best beaches. A must-visit is Playa de Maspalomas, probably the island’s most iconic beaches backed by sand dunes stretching over 1.5 miles. 

Combine a sunny beach-filled holiday in Gran Canaria with a cultural city break and rent an apartment in Las Palmas. The island’s capital is known for having the best climate for a city in the world. Ideal for a winter escape to Spain, Las Palmas is great for sightseeing, indulging on local cuisine and a spot of shopping. 

Lanzarote is an ideal location for a sunny winter holiday to Spain. For nature lovers, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the plethora of hiking and cycling routes the island has to offer. Temperatures are more pleasant to explore Timanfaya National park – a volcanic area of 51.07 km2 with smooth tarmac roads for road cyclists and steep downhill parts for mountain bikers and adrenaline junkies.

Lanzarote is also a great place for outdoor activities during the winter months. It is often called the Hawaii of Europe, not only because of the volcanic landscape but also due to the local waves. The consistent swell makes it one of the best surf spots in Europe. What’s more, is you may well be the only person on the beaches in the winter. You will have the freedom to ride the waves all day long. Playa de Famara is a truly spectacular beach. 5 kilometres of golden sand backed by dramatic cliffs, it is the longest beach on the island. For this reason, it is the most popular place to surf and kitesurf.

Almería

Almería is a province famed for its lack of rainfall and warm winter weather. Not many people have heard about the Costa Almería but this coastline is probably the most underrated in Spain, yet it harbours some of the most beautiful natural beaches. Many of these stunning bays can be found in the nature reserve of Cabo de Gata. This area has over 60 kilometres of coastline characterised by majestic cliffs and sparkling turquoise waters. 

If you are renting a holiday home in Almería, spend the day at the beach such as Playa de Los Muertos. This natural bay is breathtakingly beautiful. Nestled beneath an impressive cliff, the water here is unbelievably clear. 

Similarly, Playa de Mónsul is also located in Cabo de Gata. Divided into two small coves this picture-perfect beach sits at the foot of a large sand dune. The clarity of the water here has made it a popular spot for snorkelling enthusiasts.

Agua Amarga is a beautiful town of Cabo de Gata Natural Park. This quiet little destination is much warmer than some neighbouring provinces. It’s the perfect place to escape to in Spain during the depths of winter. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this seaside resort and discover the spectacular Natural Park that surrounds it. 

Murcia

Murcia is often a region in Spain that is overlooked as a holiday destination. In the winter, average temperatures on the coast are significantly warmer than in other regions. And Murcia city itself is also a warm vibrant location with lots of things to discover.  

The Costa Cálida is the coastline that stretches along the province. In the winter, the weather is still fairly warm, although it may not quite reach temperatures high enough to brave the sea, you can still enjoy a pleasant day at the beach. If you rent a property in Puerto de Mazarron or the quaint town of Aguilas, both resorts are warm and welcoming and in the low-season, you may be lucky enough to have the beach to yourself. Aquilas provides picture-perfect opportunities. Wandering around this little town, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of winter and it’s a great place for regional tapas.

Wandering around Murcia city in the summer can get a little uncomfortable as temperatures reach scorching heights. Staying in Murcia in the winter could be a better option. Be sure to visit the Catedral de Santa María. This Cathedral took over 300 years to build therefore it is a unique mix of different architectural styles. Wander around the pretty plazas and gardens and take a stroll across the Puente de Los Peligros – The bridge of the hazards – named after the wooden statue of “our lady of the hazards” by Murcian sculptor Francisco Sánchez Araciel. She can be seen on the south side of the bridge.

The Costa Tropical

Stretching from La Herradura to the small city of Motril, the subtropical climate on the Costa Tropical in the winter makes exploring the area more pleasant than in the hot summer months. This area of Spain is home to an underrated coastline, with pristine beaches, diving opportunities and picturesque seaside towns.

The white-washed village of Salobreña has been built on a large rock that sits in the middle of a sugar cane plantation. Historically this was the favourite place on the coastline amongst dynasties that ruled. Many come here to enjoy the calm, pristine waters and to visit the Moorish castle dating back to the 10th century that overlooks the Mediterranean. The old town of Salobreña is itself a great place to wander around. The most picturesque neighbourhoods are La Loma, La Fuente, El Brocal and El Albaycín.

In the small fishing town of La Herradura, you will find stunning natural coves. Playa Berengueles is one of the top scuba destinations in Spain. Due to the calm waters and unique subtropical microclimate, there is rich underwater flora to be explored by divers. Playa Cantarriján is a naturist beach nestled within a protected natural reserve and coastal cliffs to the west. Finally, Playa Calaiza, a picturesque little beach that can be only accessed by kayak or hiking through the Cerro Gordo pine forest.

Almuñecar was also once a small fishing village, and this culture is still very much apparent. Many people come here for the gastronomic offering. The chiringuitos along the seafront serve fresh fish accompanied by tropical fruits such as mangoes, avocados and chirimoyas which are grown nearby. The rocky stretches of coastline are great for snorkelling, but if it’s a little bit chilly for that, head to the promenades off of Playa Costa Tropical for an alternative beach-bar scene. More relaxed than those of its neighbouring towns. 

Málaga

Málaga has a unique microclimate as a result of the mountain range which surrounds it, making the winters extremely mild. The province is blessed with stunning beaches and unspoilt nature. The temperature in the winter months is ideal for exploring places such as the Caminito del Rey, and El Torcal as well as various hiking routes around Rio Verde and the Chillar River. Furthermore, these locations will have far fewer people than in the high-season so you can enjoy nature at its best.

Everyone needs a top-up of vitamin D during the long, cold winter months. Spain is the perfect place to get it. From the Canary Islands to the Costa Tropical, enjoy uncrowded beaches, discover nature at its finest and explore vibrant cities this winter.

The Best Places in Spain to Visit in Winter

Most people think of Spain and picture fine sandy beaches, sweltering cities, ice cold glasses of sangria and plates of paella by the coast. Yes, Spain is great in summer, but it’s also a fantastic country to visit in winter, with world-class museums and art galleries, top ski resorts and magnificent mountain peaks.

There’s nothing quite like sipping a hot cup of coffee, sitting in an atmospheric plaza, while admiring the snow-draped peaks above the Alhambra Palace. Granada can get very cold in winter, surrounded as it is by some of Spain’s highest mountains, but it’s also very beautiful. One big plus is that the sky is often clear and the sun is often shining, so even on the coldest of days you can find a spot to sit outside and warm up under the sun’s rays. Besides the obvious city attractions, such as the Alhambra Palace, the cathedral, the Moorish Albaicín district and the flamenco caves, Granada is just an hour’s drive from the Sierra Nevada, home to one of the best ski resorts in the country.

Winter is an ideal time to visit Madrid and experience its many cultural attractions, without the unbearable heat or overwhelming crowds. And since some of its most important sights are indoors, you won’t get too cold. Don’t miss the Golden Triangle – the famous art museums of the Reina Sofia, El Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza – or the opulent Royal Palace. The city also looks spectacular covered in Christmas lights and puts on an amazing fiesta at the Puerto del Sol on New Year’s Eve. And if it does get too chilly, just step inside one of the best churrerías in the city to warm yourself up with crunchy, doughy churros dipped in hot chocolate.

In the mountains just south of Madrid lies the historic Unesco World Heritage town of Toledo, recognised for its history as a City of Three Cultures with strong Islamic, Christian and Jewish tradition. With a dusting of snow on the surrounding mountains, the monuments look even more spectacular. Among the best are its imposing gothic cathedral, the Alcázar palace-fortress, the Synagogue of El Tránsito with its Museo Sefardí (Jewish Cultural Museum) and the museum of the artist El Greco, who lived and died in the city. Warm up at one of the cafes or bakeries and sample some of the marzipan figurines the town is famous for.

Barcelona is a perfect city all year round, with plenty to do when the chill of winter sets in. Packed with museums and art galleries, quirky shops, flamboyant architecture, flashy cocktail bars and innovative restaurants, this is one place you’ll never get bored. It will be cold, but sunny, so you’ll find plenty of things to do both indoors and out. Check out its amazing Modernista masterpieces by the likes of Gaudí and Domènech i Montaner, visit the art museums of Picasso and Miró and get lost among the streets of the Barrio Gótico. Don’t miss the amazing New Year’s spectacle at the Plaça d’Espanya or the magical Three Kings parade on the night of 5 January. In addition to city sights, you’ll also find a few good ski resorts within a two-hour drive from the centre, including La Molina and La Masella.

If you’re after a bit of winter sun, you’ll find that the Canary Islands are definitely the warmest place in Spain during the winter season, with temperatures averaging around 17C (63F). Lying off the coast of Africa, they have a subtropical climate. Some days it may even be warm enough to swim in the outdoor pools or go to the beach, but if not, you’ll find plenty of interesting cities such as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and national parks such as Teide National Park in Tenerife, to explore. The island of Gran Canaria is also known for its excellent spa hotels.

What is Portugal in Winter Really Like? Does it Snow?

A little less daylight, a little more rain, and everyone is digging their warm clothes out of storage. This is Portugal in winter. No one would call it beach weather, but winter in Portugal is pretty pleasant compared to the frigid climates many of us come here to escape.

Read on to see what Portugal in winter is really like, and find out about some activities that are even better when the weather turns colder.

What is Portugal in winter really like?

First of all, it does snow in Portugal, but typically only in the Serra da Estrela range in northern Portugal. Otherwise, it rarely gets below freezing anywhere in the country – and the idea of lakes or rivers freezing over is basically unheard of.

You won’t see snowfalls in Lisbon or the Algarve, but the depth of winter in Portugal can be chilling, especially during December and January. The depth of winter in Portugal can be unpleasantly cold. Temperatures at night can get down to 2 degrees C (36 degrees F). Making up for this, though, are mild daytime temperatures that can climb as high as 20 degrees C (68 degrees F).

Probably the most inconvenient part about winter in Portugal is the rain. When it rains in Portugal, it pours. Unlike the endless drizzle that you would experience in London, you will often see a month’s worth of rain in a couple of hours.

Now you won’t see snowfalls in Lisbon or lakes in the Algarve ice over in winter, but the depth of winter in Portugal can be extreme, especially during December and January. This is mainly due to the extreme variation in temperatures that each day has. Temperatures at night are the coldest, sometimes reaching 2°C (36°F) while day time temperatures can be as high as 20°C (68°F).

Probably the most inconvenient part about winter in Portugal is the rain, which often causes cities to come to a halt. When it rains in Portugal, it pours. Unlike the endless drizzle that you would experience in London, you will often see a month of rain in a couple of hours.

Winter in Portugal is still winter. When there are clear skies overhead, that is usually a sign that a warm winter day will be a cold winter night once the sun sets.

Winter in Portugal is always nicer in the Algarve

Located in the southern region of Portugal in the Algarve, is Faro, one of the warmest cities in Portugal, and even in Europe. If you’re used to snowy skies and freezing wind, there is no “real” winter in Faro. It’s more like a long, pleasant spring, with more than 10 hours of sunshine on most day. This doesn’t mean that weather conditions are always suitable for the beach, but you can usually count on fair weather that doesn’t require more than a long-sleeved shirt to be comfortable.

That being said, the nights can still get cold because of the wind, so we suggest you bring a jacket and at least one pair of pants – rather than shorts – if you head to the Algarve over the winter.

The coldest area of Portugal is around Porto, in the north. Porto sees a lot of rain in the winter. We mean really a lot. The winter months here are also not so friendly, temperature-wise, but the city takes on an atmospheric, mysterious beauty. And of course, you can still enjoy the city’s scenic beauty and famous Port wine.

Where to find snow and skiing in Portugal

Yes, it does snow in Portugal! But only in a few places. Most people are surprised to discover that not only does it snow in Portugal, but you can even ski here.

From Porto, you can take a day trip to Portugal’s mountains and go on a guided tour of Serra da Estrela. If you’re with a group of four or more, there is a beautiful full-day nature tour you can take that includes a visit to the Lagoa Comprida lagoon.

Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range on the Portuguese mainland and it receives snow every winter. In fact, it gets enough snow that there’s a ski resort near the Spanish border. Serra da Estrela also boasts the country’s highest mainland altitude, at 1,967 metres (6,453 feet).

The single ski area definitely isn’t challenging. The slopes are ideal for beginners as it has high safety ratings and helpful instructors. There are some intermediate and advanced runs, but they don’t compare to the slopes in countries like Norway or Switzerland.

If you don’t want to ski, Serra da Estrela’s resort area is also a nice place for winter walks and, of course, admiring the beautiful mountain views from a cabin or cozy hotel. The city of Guarda, just northeast of the mountain, also has a beautiful 12th-century cathedral to explore.

In Portugal for the winter? Here’s what you can do

Explore the outdoors

While lying on the beach may have to wait, winter is a great time for surfing, rafting, and other activities. Portugal’s waves and rivers are higher and faster moving in winter, and the sun is less intense.

The west coast of Nazaré also gets the biggest surfing waves during the colder months and many surfing competitions are held here. Exploring the landscape can also be much more beautiful during the winter. And if you’re interested in a more urban vacation, the cities and popular tourist attractions are less crowded.

Warm up with a traditional Portuguese dish

No other traditional Portuguese dish is better for winter than caldo verde (“green soup”). Hearty and warming, it’s still sometimes cooked in a traditional clay pot. The soup is normally served with slices of linguiça (pork sausage) and, often, cornbread. The Portuguese also love chouriço, and add it to stews or serve it still flaming on a hot plate.

A walk through the city in winter will often smell like castanhas (roasted chestnuts). Street vendors sell this and other Portuguese traditional snacks in the autumn and winter months. Want to really feel like a local? On Nov. 11, Saint Martin’s Day, the Portuguese celebrate by eating warm roasted chestnuts and drinking jeropiga, a traditional liqueur. This celebration kicks off the countdown to Christmas.

Other national holidays over the winter are, of course Christmas in Portugal, New Year’s Eve, and Carnival, which is held in February.

Keep warm inside

Often when it’s cold outside, we want to stay indoors. In Portugal however, houses can feel chilly and damp, especially in older properties. That’s because most buildings are designed to keep out the summer heat rather than stay warm in the winter.

Central heating is very rare and reverse-cycle air conditioning is not ideal for warming an entire home. Sometimes the best option is to invest in a dehumidifier, some fluffy blankets, and fuzzy sweater. Alternatively, space heaters can be a lifesaver in bedrooms or smaller apartments.

Portugal in winter is thankfully short

Winter may mean more time to catch up on your favorite Netflix series, but “real” winter in Portugal is short. Summer’s warmer temperatures generally start around the beginning of May and last well into September. In the meantime, keep warm!

FAQ

What is Portugal like in the winter?

Portugal in winter is often on the cloudy, rainy side. While it’s not beach weather, it also doesn’t get bitterly cold. The Algarve, in southern Portugal, is warmer than the rest of the country, and it gets cooler (and rainier) and you head north. Porto, for instance, can be gloomy and damp in winter.

Is it cold in Portugal in December?

Yes, December in Portugal is cold – but this is compared to the rest of the year. You’ll still have sunny days, especially from Lisbon south. The nights will get particularly chilly, and if you’re visiting in December you’ll want a warm coat and maybe a hat to keep the cold at bay.

Is December a good time to visit Portugal?

December is a fantastic time to visit Portugal. It’s a delightful place to celebrate Christmas, with different traditions and festivities throughout the country. There are lower crowds than in the most popular months of the year (July and August), but still tons of things to do and see.

How cold does Portugal get in winter?

Portugal doesn’t get particularly cold in winter, at least in most of the country. Not counting the Serra da Estrela mountain range, the winter temperatures hover between 2 degrees C (36 degrees F) in the coldest nights and up to 20 degrees C (68 degrees F) on the mildest winter days.

Spain is a country in southwestern Europe. It borders Portugal, Morocco, France and Andorra. In the north and west it is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, in the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea.

Every year more and more foreign students from all over the world come to Spain to study . And this is not surprising, because Spanish is the second most popular language in the world after English . Moreover, students have the opportunity to study two languages ​​at the same time – Spanish and English, and in Catalonia also Catalan. If we talk about secondary education, then in Spain private schools with the British or American education system are popular. Teachers in such schools are native English speakers. In such programs, it is mandatory to study Spanish as a foreign language, and upon graduation, students have not only an international certificate, with which it is easy to enter English-speaking higher education institutions, but also excellent command of Spanish. Do not forget that the cost of education in such schools is much lower than in private schools in England and North America. If we talk about studying at public universities in Spain, it is worth mentioning that studying at such educational institutions is inexpensive – from 1,000 to 2,000 euros per year, and the cost of studying at private universities and colleges is an average of 6,000 – 8,000 euros per year.

Spain provides students with the opportunity not only to get a good quality education, but also to get acquainted with the history and culture of this country at the same time, traveling to different regions and cities. Here you can sunbathe on the sunny beaches of Valencia, swim in the Atlantic Ocean on the island of Tenerife, get acquainted with the architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona, ​​go to a Real Madrid football match, learn to dance flamenco and visit a real Spanish bullfight. And this is the least of what you can do in your free time in Spain.

Madrid is the capital and largest city of Spain. The city is the cultural center of the country, home to many world-famous museums, including the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Art Center and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. It is also worth visiting the main square of the city, Plaza Mayor, where 136 baroque buildings with balconies are located, from which in the past royal ceremonies, jousting tournaments and bullfights were watched. Now there are cafes and restaurants, from the windows of which you can also observe the life of the city.

Castile

Castile is the largest region in Spain. In addition to cities with ancient churches, cathedrals and monasteries, the region has many natural parks, forests, plains and majestic mountains. During the winter season, dozens of modern ski resorts are open to visitors and lovers of active sports. Culinary routes are popular in summer and spring. The local gastronomy is famous for its excellent meat and the best legumes in Spain. Cities such as Segovia and Salamanca are located in this region.

Segovia is a small town 90 km from Madrid. The atmosphere of the past has been preserved in the city. Here is an aqueduct preserved from Roman times, which founded this city in 80 BC

Salamanca looks like a city of the Renaissance due to the architecture of the buildings, made in the Gothic style. The historic center of the city was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is famous for the fact that it was here that one of the first universities in Europe was opened and still operates.

Catalonia

The region Catalonia is located between the Mediterranean coast and the Pyrenees. Due to its geographical location, it has a mild Mediterranean climate, so the wonderful weather and long beaches make Catalonia a popular holiday destination. It is in Catalonia that the most famous among Russian-speaking tourists are the resorts of Spain – the Costa Dorada and the Costa Brava. It is impossible to ignore the capital of the region – Barcelona . The city is home to many famous sights, including the Gothic Quarter in the heart of the city and the work of the famous architect Gaudí.

Andalusia

Andalusia is the southernmost region of the country. It attracts tourists with its sunny weather, warm sea and a huge number of beaches. Andalusia is considered the birthplace of flamenco, bullfighting and the famous gazpacho soup. But Andalusia is not only the sea and the sun, but also a region in which many ancient monuments of culture and history have been preserved – medieval fortresses and cathedrals. The region is home to cities such as Seville, Granada and Malaga, as well as the famous resort of Marbella , on the coast of which there are elite hotels and luxurious private villas belonging to members of royal families, Arab sheikhs and world celebrities.

Seville – the capital of Andalusia. The city occupies an area on both sides of the Guadalquivir River. The city has preserved fragments of the ancient city wall with 66 towers. According to legend, the city was founded by the Greek god Hercules.

Granada – located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east of Andalusia. Granada is famous for its architectural monuments, inherited from the Moorish era, as well as the Gothic period and the Renaissance. The city is known for its workshops and workshops of guitar builders.

Malaga is a popular seaside resort on the Mediterranean coast. The city is considered the cultural center of Andalusia with rich traditions. Painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso and film actor Antonio Banderas were born here.

Valencia

Valencia is a province in the southeast of the country. It is famous for its magnificent sea beaches, the famous resort of Costa Blanca and cities with modern infrastructure. The province includes cities such as Valencia and Alicante.

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. In the city, you can not only relax on the sea, but also visit the famous sights of the city, including the Museum of Fine Arts and the largest aquarium in Europe.

Alicante is a famous tourist center of the Costa Blanca, a city whose architecture combines elements of Greek, Romanesque, Moorish, Gothic styles, as well as Baroque and Art Nouveau.

Basque Country

Basque Country is located in northern Spain and attracts tourists with beautiful beaches along the ocean, attractions and, of course, delicious cuisine. The Basque Country is an ideal place for lovers of all mountain sports. The region includes the cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian.

Bilbao – one of the first ports in Spain, is the industrial center of the north of Spain. The main attraction of the city is the Museum of Modern Art of the Guggenheim Foundation, dedicated to avant-garde.

San Sebastian is a popular seaside resort on the Atlantic coast. The city is known for hosting one of the leading European film festivals every year, the San Sebastien Film Festival.

Canary Islands

Canary Islands is an archipelago of seven volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. Many tourists are attracted by the beautiful weather all year round, beautiful beaches, rainforests and the opportunity to do any kind of water sports. Tenerife is the largest and one of the most popular islands in the Canary archipelago. This is truly a heavenly place to relax at any time of the year.

Despite the fact that the Iberian Peninsula is surrounded on almost all sides by the sea, in its central part the influence of water masses on climatic conditions is waning. Mountain ranges stretching along almost the entire coastline protect the interior of the peninsula from external influences. Almost throughout Spain (with the exception of mountainous areas), the average monthly temperature is positive. The coldest period is from December to February, the warmest is from June to September.

In general, the country is dominated by a subtropical climate of the Mediterranean type, although in its pure form it can only be stated on the southeastern coast of Spain (Andalusia and Extremadura). Throughout the Mediterranean coast, mild and short winters and dry and hot summers. On the eastern coast of the country, from December to February, the average minimum air temperature is +5: +8, the average maximum is +12: +17. In the period from June to September, the average minimum temperature is +16:+21, the average maximum is +25:+30. The rainiest months are September, October and November. In Catalonia at this time, the monthly rainfall is 75-80 mm, in Valencia 60-70 mm.

The least precipitation falls in July and August (in Catalonia about 45 mm, in Valencia even less – only 12-14 mm). It is warmer on the southern and southeastern coasts (Andalusia and Extremadura). In winter, the average minimum air temperature is +8:+10, the average maximum is +16:+17, in the period from June to September the average minimum temperature is +18:+22, the average maximum is +27:+30.

In precipitation, two seasons are clearly distinguished here: from October to March, up to 100 mm of precipitation falls per month, from April to September less than 30 mm, and in July and August it rains extremely rarely. The swimming season on the Mediterranean coast begins in June, when the water temperature reaches 19-21 degrees and lasts until October. At this time, the sea is still warm (20-23 degrees). The maximum heating is reached in August, at this time the water temperature is about 25 degrees.

As you move away from the coast, the influence of the sea decreases. On the central plateau, the climate is sharply continental, with cold winters and hot summers. Interdiurnal temperature fluctuations are most pronounced here. In winter, the average minimum temperature is slightly positive (+1:+3), the average maximum temperature is +8:+11. In summer, the nights are cooler than on the coast (+14:+18), during the day the heat reaches +30 degrees. The amount of precipitation during the year is low (40-50 mm), and in July and August it decreases to 11-12 mm.

In the north and northwest of Spain (from Galicia to Catalonia) the climate is maritime. It is formed by the Atlantic. This area is characterized by mild wet winters and moderately warm summers. The average minimum temperature in the period from December to February is +6:+8, the average maximum is +12:+14. During this period, the maximum amount of precipitation falls (120-140 mm per month). In summer (from June to August) the average minimum temperature is +12:+15, the average maximum is +20:+24 degrees. The amount of precipitation in summer decreases to 50 mm, and in the central month of the season it is about 30 mm.

SIGHTS IN SPAIN


The mosque-cathedral in Cordoba (VIII-X centuries) is the largest mosque in the world after the famous Kaaba in Mecca. Its 19 naves with 32 arches occupy a significant area (175×140 m). A double monument – a mosque and a cathedral – testifies to the attempt of the Christian state to get rid of even a hint of Muslim influence. In 1236, after the capture of the city by Christians and the flight of Muslims to North Africa, King Ferdinand III ordered to turn it into a Christian temple. Were closed 19doors facing the courtyard, chapels were built along the inner walls of the building, the minaret was turned into a bell tower.

The Alhambra (in Arabic “red”), a palace-fortress of the XIII century, is a miracle of Muslim architecture and an interesting sight of Spain. Depending on the lighting, its walls and towers change color during the day. Particularly beautiful is the courtyard of Lviv, surrounded by columns of white marble. In the middle of the courtyard is a fountain. Its huge marble bowl rests on 12 lions. There are several magnificent halls in the palace: the Hall of Ambassadors with a huge dome made of cedar wood, the Royal Hall with golden lace arches in the form of stalactites, the Hall of Secrets with amazing acoustic effects.

La Giralda is the former minaret of the mosque, built by the Arabs in the 12th century. The mosque was not preserved, and the minaret was turned into the bell tower of the cathedral. This is the most famous monument in Seville. Its silhouette is amazingly graceful. If you climb the bell tower, to a height of 97 m, then a beautiful view of the city opens from there.

Numerous medieval castles – paradors – have been preserved in Spain. Usually they are located in picturesque, quiet and cozy corners and provide excellent opportunities for both leisure and work. Now it is a whole complex of buildings and structures that combine strict architectural lines with modern interior rooms. Rooms are equipped with heating and air conditioning, TV, telephone and minibar. For lovers of outdoor activities in such buildings, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and gyms are necessarily provided.

Spain is considered the largest “hunting” country in Europe. The largest hunting reserve – Sakha (177 thousand hectares) occupies almost the entire eastern half of the province of Santander in the Cantabrian mountains (north of the country). In the beech and oak forests of this reserve, bear, wild boar, roe deer, wolf, chamois are hunted, and among birds – partridge and snipe.

One of the most beautiful and richest in flora and fauna hunting reserves in Spain – Somiedo (88 thousand hectares) – is located in the mountains of the northern province of Oviedo. Its forests consist of a wide variety of broad-leaved species. Bear, wolf, fox, wild boar, roe deer, chamois, polecat, marten, hare are found here, among birds – capercaillie, partridge, snipe, wild pigeon, quail.

In Spain, the Sierra de Cazorla, crossed by the Guadalquivir River, is considered a real miracle of nature in terms of the richness of species and the beauty of landscapes. On its right bank, in the lower reaches, there is the Koto-Donyana nature reserve. The landscape of marisma is protected here – brackish-water coastal swamps of the southern type (reminiscent of the lower reaches of the Volga) with exceptionally rich flora and fauna. Colonies of waterfowl are especially numerous: ducks, geese, flamingos, white storks. A huge colony of herons lives here. The semi-desert southeastern regions of Spain are considered one of the most convenient places to study the life of scorpions and tarantulas. Chameleons live in the south of the country.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SPAIN


Drawings of ancient people in caves are not necessarily primitive and rude. For example, in the Spanish cave of Altamira, polychrome drawings of the Upper Paleolithic era (more than 10 thousand years ago) were found. On the walls of the caves, mainly animals are depicted – bison, horses, wild boars, and not in one, but in several colors at once. Moreover, the natural contours of the wall were used by ancient artists to create a three-dimensional effect.

The first European to see the Pacific Ocean was the Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa. True, he did not suspect that there was a whole ocean in front of him, and he called it the South Sea. The familiar name to us was given by Magellan, who sailed along it during his round-the-world trip and did not encounter a single storm. In fact, the Pacific Ocean is often the source of tropical storms and tsunamis that destroy cities and claim lives.

The Mitsubishi Pajero car was introduced to the Spanish market as the Mitsubishi Montero, as the local slang word ‘pajero’ (read “pajero”) means “masturbator”.

In the small Spanish town of Rosas is the El Bulli restaurant. It has been voted the world’s best restaurant five times over the past decade by Restaurant Magazine. The service season is only half a year, and it is very difficult to get here: immediately after closing, all places are booked in one day for the entire next season (and the “competition for a place” is approximately 250 people). Despite the average cost of a dish of 250 euros, the restaurant itself is unprofitable. The owners receive profit from the sale of books dedicated to him and lectures by chef Ferran Adria.

On May 17, 2010, an unusual charity football match took place in Spain – the Athletic Bilbao club played against 200 children at the same time. The children chose the tactics 66-80-51 with three goalkeepers, but still lost with a score of 3:5.

The influenza epidemic, which was called the “Spanish flu”, began in the United States. As for the number of sick and dead, Spain was also not the leader in this indicator. It’s just that Spain was a neutral side in the First World War, and there was no wartime censorship. Newspapers openly wrote about the spread of the epidemic, and the inhabitants of other countries had the impression that it was Spain that was most affected by this flu.

It is a mistake to assume that the Canary Islands got their name from the large number of canaries living there. In fact, the opposite is true – it was the birds that were named after the islands. And the name Canarian goes back to the Latin word canis – dog. So the Romans called the island when they encountered its inhabitants, who deified dogs. And today it is dogs that support the shield on the coat of arms of the Canary Islands.

Montserrat Caballe sometimes resorted to the following joke at her concerts. If any of the spectators recorded the concert on a tape recorder, and at some point he had to turn the tape over, Caballe stopped singing. After a few seconds of silence, she said: “Nod to me when you can continue.

The Spanish royal family and nobility prided themselves on the fact that, unlike the common people, they traced their ancestry to the West Goths and never mixed with the Moors who entered Spain from Africa. Unlike the dark-skinned commoners, blue veins stood out on the pale skin of the upper class, and therefore they called themselves sangre azul, which means “blue blood”. Hence, this expression for the designation of the aristocracy penetrated into many European languages, including Russian.

On the island of Gomera from the Canary Islands group, locals speak a dialect of Spanish, but not only in a normal voice, but also with the help of a whistle. The language owes its origin to the rocky terrain of the island and a small number of roads (therefore, instead of reaching from one village to another, people preferred to whistle a message, and the transmission range was 5-6 km). “Speakers” in this language press the tip of the tongue to their teeth and begin to whistle, at the same time pronouncing the words approximately as it is done during a normal conversation.

NATIONAL CUISINE OF SPAIN


One of the greatest attractions of Spain is, without a doubt, its cuisine – one of the best in the world in terms of quality and variety of products. It is impossible to seriously talk about the existence of a national cuisine, rather we are talking about numerous regional cuisines, each of which was influenced by climatic conditions and its own way of life. Galician cuisine is generally not like other “Spanish” cuisines. And Basque is more like Georgian (more precisely, Abkhazian) … In general, one can only say about Spanish cuisine that it often uses such techniques as stewing in wine (red in the south and west of the country and white in the east), baking with sheep cheese and grilling. Specific to all Spanish cuisines is the extensive use of sage greens and grated walnuts.

SPAIN time


The difference with Moscow time is 2 hours: when in Moscow 12:00 – in Spain 10:00, in the Canary Islands – a difference of 3 hours.

Holidays SPAIN


January 1 – New Year. New Year (Ano Nuevo) in Spain is the middle of the holy period or, as the Spaniards call it, the sacred twelve days (Duodenario mistico), beginning on December 25 with Christmas and ending on January 6 with the Day of the Magi. Spaniards celebrate New Year’s Eve (Noche vieja) not at home, but, most often, on streets filled with celebrating, in bars and restaurants, at discos and festivities.

January 6 – Catholic Epiphany. This holiday has another (international) name – epiphany. This is the Greek name for the feast of the Baptism of the Lord (the Western Church calls it Epiphany), dedicated to the baptism by John the Baptist of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.

February 2 – Day of Our Lady of Candelaria. The story of Our Lady of the Candelaria begins on the island of Tenerife. Even before the conquest of the Canary Islands by the Spaniards, the Guanches found a statue of a beautiful woman on the ocean. She became their sanctuary. The Spanish conquistadors, having broken the resistance of the Guanches, decided that the statue of Our Lady, although black, was the shrine of the Guanches.

March 15 – Fallas. Fallas (Las Fallas) is the name of the Valencian spring festival. Of course, the end of winter is celebrated not only in the Valencian community, but throughout Spain, however, in Fallas there is something that significantly distinguishes it from other similar holidays. Something that attracts to the city, from March 15 to March 20, numerous tourists (in 2004 there were about 2 million people, with Valencia’s own population of 800 thousand).

March 19 – Saint Jose’s Day – Father’s Day in Spain. At 19In 72, the celebration of Father’s Day was officially established in Spain.

March-May – Catholic Good Friday (Good Friday). The date of the holiday is unique for each year.

May 1 – Labor Day (Labor Day). Spain, along with many other countries, celebrates International Workers’ Day (El Dia internacional de los Trabajadores) or International Labor Day (Dia internacional del trabajo) or simply the First of May

Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. The date of the holiday is unique for each year. This holiday stands on the border of the Easter cycle and the summer holidays, is celebrated in June, on the fortieth day after Easter, on Thursday. The main idea of ​​Corpus Christi (this is how the name of the holiday sounds in Spanish) is a reminder of the essence of the Catholic dogma of the sacrament – the Eucharist (Eucaristia). Thus, this holiday is not associated with any pagan pre-Christian traditions, it is religious in content, and urban in social organization.

July 6 – Saint-Fermin Festival in Pamplona. From July 6 to July 14, Pamplona hosts festive events dedicated to Saint Fermin (Fiesta of San Fermin), a bishop who lived in the 13th century and who once saved Pamplona from the plague.

August 15 – Ascension of the Mother of God. In accordance with the tradition and theology of the Catholic Church, the body and soul of the Virgin Mary was taken to heaven after She finished her days on earth.

August 25 – Tomatina. The Feast of Tomatina is celebrated on the last Wednesday of August. Another name for the holiday is the Battle of the Tomatoes (La Batalle del Tomate). In the very last week of August in the city of Bunol, in eastern Spain, the annual “Tomato Festival” begins, dedicated to the outgoing summer.

October 12 – Day of Hispanidad, Feast of the Holy Virgin Pilar. October 12 is a double holiday in Spain: the Feast of the Holy Virgin of Pilar and the National holiday of Spain – Hispanidad Day (Dia de la Hispanidad / Hispanic Day).

November 1 – All Saints’ Day. All Saints’ Day (El Dia de Todos Los Santos) is a Christian holiday in honor of all saints, known and unknown. It was declared by Pope Urbano IV to make up for any gaps in the veneration of saints during the year.

December 6 is Constitution Day in Spain. Compared to other European countries, in Spain the new Constitution was adopted relatively recently. The victory of democratic values ​​after almost forty years of dictatorship (1939-1975) made it possible to open a new page in Spanish history.

In the previous post we suggested several reasons to visit the island at Christmas. Today as LastMinute Transfer, we will tell you about what to do in Lanzarote at Christmas.

Organizing Christmas celebrations seems to be a ritual. Whit whom hava dinner at Christmas Eve? Where do you go for Christmas dinner? What do you do on New Year’s Eve? The solution is simple: come to Lanzarote for the holidays!

Enjoying Christmas decorations

The good weather does not prove that it is Christmas, Lanzarote is transformed to welcome the holidays.

Many villages install the Christmas lights and decorate the streets. Besides the typical garlands, many palm trees are decorated with lights to enhance their beauty.

There are some Christmas trees, like the one inaugurated a few days ago in the Cabildo of Lanzarote in Arrecife. The impressive multicoloured structure is 15 metres high and has more than 35,000 LED lights.

In Arrecife it is possible to visit a magnificent nativity scene with beautiful models of historical buildings in the city.

Other towns like Tinajo, have introduced this year, new decorations, such as the Santa Claus wheel, installed in the roundabout at the entrance of the town, which welcomes the visitors.

Nativity scenes in Lanzarote

A good alternative to visit Lanzarote at Christmas is to realize a route to see the several nativity scenes of the island.

There are static nativity scenes all over the island because every village create its own, with pride.

On the other side, different points of the island prepare their living nativity scenes, so that the ihnabitans attend the Christmas tradition. Among them, we should mention the Tinajo’s ones, that count with small animals of the area.

The list of nativity scenes that worth to visit is very very long. In addition to the Tinajo’s ones we can mention also the one of Haría, by the Thousands Palmtrees valley. A traditional nativity scene full of details in an incredible environment that you can’t miss!

Another special nativity scene is the Yaiza nativity scene. With more than 23 meters long, this nativity scene allows to reproduce a tour of some of the most emblematic points of the island.

Christmas activities in each village

Every village of Lanzarote want to show to its neighbours a big program for the holidays. Therefore, from the largest cities to the smallest villages offer various activities at Christmas.

Visiting every corner of Lanzarote at Christmas is a gift for the senses. It is a different way to discover the island and its traditions.

There are Christmas concerts, horse riding, children’s workshops, traditional workshops, parades, popular races, theatre… You can plan  and enjoy the Christmas spirit.

Deliver the letter to the Magi and Santa Claus

In Lanzarote you will have the opportunity to see both the Magi and Santa Claus. According to Christian tradition, the Three Kings arrived at the portal on a camel. If you’re on the island the best place to give them the letter is by el Echadero de camellos of Timanfaya National Park. Enjoy your camel ride and take advantage to deliver your letter.

If you prefer to discover Santa Claus house, you can do it by the  Shopping Center Biosfera Plaza.

The third floor of this shopping center in Puerto del Carmen has been welcoming Santa Claus every Saturday afternoon since November 16th. He will also be present on the 24th in the morning.

It’s the best way to guarantee that your letter won’t get lost along the way!

Create your Sandman

Among the different things to do in Lanzarote at Christmas there is also the option of making a Sandman.

Since there is no snow the best alternative is sand, which is indispensable to create a Christmasman. Do not forget to put in your luggage the swimsuit and a Christmas hat to put it to your creation.

It’s no weird if you see snowmen on the beach instead of sand castles. It’s Christmas!

Take a good memory of Lanzarote

If you are lucky enough to be able to enjoy a few days rest on Lanzarote during these holidays, you will like to take a souvenir of the island with you.

Enjoy the different Christmas markets  around the island. You will be able to find typical candies and Christmas details. Why not take a Christmas ornament for your tree at home?

Christmas in Lanzarote

Many people will find the thought of jetting off to a sunny beach and luxury villa for Christmas and New Year’s Eve almost unthinkable, particularly if you have small children in the family. However, just because you are not in the wintry UK does certainly not mean you will miss out on Christmas and New Year celebrations. 

In Lanzarote, the average temperature is a sunny 19°C, that and a sea temperature of 20°C, six hours of sunshine and only four collective days of rain over the entire month of December makes it a very attractive destination for winter. Meanwhile, back in the UK, the average temperature is a chilly 7°C, a mere 3 hours of sunshine and 17 rainfall days. Still need persuading?

Spending Christmas and New Year in another country can be a culturally rewarding experience for your family, and will certainly create some amazing and unique memories. Luckily, Lanzarote has lots to offer in terms of Christmas and New Year spirit. 

Navidad, meaning Christmas in Spanish, is celebrated in much the same way as in the UK – feasts consisting of fine food and drink with family. Due to Spain being predominantly Catholic, one difference you may notice is large numbers of locals attending midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and an abundance of religious imagery, something not seen often in large Protestant countries like the UK. What makes the holidays in Lanzarote really exciting though is its unique traditions after Christmas.

 

The 28th of December is the day of the Santos Inocentes (‘Innocent Saints’), which is the Spanish equivalent of April Fools’ Day, and New Year’s Eve is celebrated even more than Christmas Day itself. Locals drink cava and eat a grape for every stroke of the clock at midnight, amounting to 12 gulps of Cava and grapes to bring you luck in the proceeding 12 months.

A major winter event is ‘Día de Reyes’ (King’s Day) on the 6th January every year. This festival marks the end of the Christmas celebrations. In several towns, bonfires are lit in memory of those who, according to the legend, set Bethlehem on fire to hide the North Star from the King Herod. It is traditionally on this day that Christmas gifts are given.

If you are around during the first week of January, it is worth heading to Arrecife the day before King’s Day. There is the impressive Cabalgata de Reyes (Procession of the Three Wise Men) parade through the capital. 

Late December and early January can be the perfect time for a winter break. You probably already have most of the time off work, and the kids are off school too.

One thing to remember is that the winter season is a surprisingly busy time of year for tourism in the Canary Islands, due to the warm climate and ease for Northern Europeans to get there, so it is best to book those flights and accommodation early.

To take a look at the luxury properties we have available in Lanzarote.

Canary Islands: Thousands of Britons face Christmas isolation

  • Published

  • Coronavirus pandemic

Britons holidaying on Spain’s Canary Islands say their Christmas plans have been thrown into jeopardy after quarantine rules were imposed.

Travellers returning to the UK will have to self-isolate from Saturday due to rising infection rates, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said.

Travel giant Tui said 800 people were due to depart for the islands on Friday morning, with 5,000 there already.

The quarantine period will be shortened from 14 to 10 days from Monday.

A statement from the four UK chief medical officers said the change came after a review of evidence and that self-isolation for those with coronavirus symptoms remained important.

  • Where can you get winter sun without quarantining?
  • Will I get my money back if I can’t go on holiday?

Meanwhile, the Foreign Office has yet to change its travel advice for the Canary Islands, meaning many holidaymakers may be unable to seek refunds or claim on their travel insurance policies.

The new quarantine restrictions will be in place from 04:00 GMT on 12 December.

Travellers to mainland Spain already have to isolate, but an exemption for the islands in October encouraged many to book a break in almost-guaranteed winter sun, travel expert Simon Calder told BBC Breakfast.

The Department for Transport (DfT) said there had been a “sharp increase” in the number of positive coronavirus tests on the islands.

It comes as an upcoming “test-to-release” policy will allow travellers to leave quarantine after five days – if they pay for a private coronavirus test and receive a negative result.

Christmas uncertainty

Even a reduced 10-day quarantine period would mean some of those due to return later next week would still need to isolate over Christmas.

Steve Hay, from Bournemouth, arrived in Lanzarote on Thursday evening for a seven-day break with his family.

They now face cutting it short to avoid a quarantine period that could potentially run until 27 December – effectively cancelling their Christmas plans in the UK.

“How will we do our Christmas shopping?” Mr Hay said. “I think it’s shocking and doesn’t appear much thought has gone into it.

“Why is it being implemented so quick, this only gives us tomorrow to get back.

“I think it’s crazy and the Canaries cannot be looked at as a whole, each island should be rated.”

Ivor Langford says he faces Christmas alone without his wife after she returned home sooner than planned

Ivor Langford from Worcestershire, who is currently at his holiday home in Lanzarote, told the BBC the rule change meant he now faced spending Christmas Day alone in the UK.

His wife recently returned to the UK after her father caught Covid-19 in hospital, he said.

“I have been given less than a day to fly home before Saturday 04:00,” he said. “I’m due to fly back on 16 December but now will have to have Christmas without my wife.”

  • HOLIDAYS: Where can I go away in the UK?
  • LOOK-UP TOOL: How many cases in your area?
  • SOCIAL LIFE: The rules when I go to the pub?
  • YOUR QUESTIONS: We answer your queries

More than 800 people are waiting to find out whether their Tui holidays to Tenerife departing on Saturday morning will be cancelled, because the Foreign Office has not yet decided whether to also advise against travel to the islands.

If the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to the Canary Islands, Tui will cancel all holidays immediately as this change invalidates travel insurance.

It also expects to cancel its entire Christmas holiday schedule, a further blow to the operator which recorded losses of €3bn (£2. 74bn) on Thursday.

Tui said it would allow those booked between Friday and 17 December “the opportunity to amend free of charge to another date or destination”.

Airline Easyjet said customers wishing to transfer their flights without a fee must do so within a week.

Test-to-release

The new test-to-release programme begins on 15 December, allowing travellers arriving in England to reduce their quarantine by more than half if they pay for a Covid test after five days.

They will have to opt in to the scheme on a passenger locator form, according to the government website.

The DfT said families could decide which members opted in to suit their circumstances but that only those who took a test after five days and received a negative result could be released early.

The tests, from private firms, will cost between £65 and £120. A list of approved providers has yet to be published.

England has also introduced a quarantine exemption for certain categories of travellers, including people making high-value business trips, sports stars and performing arts professionals.

The islands of Tenerife and Fuerteventura, the main flagships of the Canary archipelago, delight tourists all year round with warm sea and warm sandy beaches. As for mainland Spain, you should pay attention to the famous resorts of Costa Blanca, Costa Dorada and Costa Dorada – white, golden and sunny coast. Resorts include a vast territory, which includes several cities, there are dozens of hotels of various levels, from luxury to modest boarding houses.

Week 1 trek program:

Day 1. Gran Canaria.
The third largest island in the Canary archipelago in terms of size and the second largest in terms of population. Here is one of the two capitals of the Canary Islands – Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and it is from here that we will begin our New Year’s journey. The climate of Gran Canaria, after lengthy research, has been recognized as one of the most favorable in the whole world. Seasonal temperature fluctuations are not particularly noticeable here, it is almost never too hot, and in December the average daily temperature reaches +24C. By the way, there are 18 climatic zones on the island, and we will feel the influence of some of them during our trip.

On the first day, we all meet on the yacht, settle into cabins, listen to safety briefings, then buy groceries for the week, have dinner and get to know each other.

Day 2. Fuerteventura, Morro Jable city.
In the morning, immediately after breakfast, the captain will conduct the first basic training and we will set off on our first crossing. We have to overcome 60 miles – in the evening we will find ourselves on the island of Feerteventura.

photos of the organizers

Fuerteventura is the most “African” island of the archipelago: less than 100 km separates it from Morocco. A specific feature of the island’s climate is the wind that blows over the entire island. Not very strong, but persistent. The height of the mountain ranges does not exceed 1000 m, so they are not able to hold back clouds. There are no distinct climatic zones on the island, and rain is a very, very rare phenomenon. Landscapes in the interior of the island are notable for their harsh beauty, but along the coast stretch the best beaches in the Canary Islands for many kilometers with light fine sand – the hallmark and main attraction of this island. And there are a lot of goats here, much more than local residents)

Day 3. Transfer to Puerto del Rosario marina, Fuerteventura.
After breakfast we set out to sea again. During the passage, the captain will conduct training, in the late afternoon we will moor in the marina of Puerto del Rosario and it is there that we will celebrate the New Year – with tangerines and sparkling Spanish cava!

Day 4. Crossing to Lanzarote island, Puerto del Carmen marina.
After the New Year’s festivities, we will have a short trip to the island of Lanzarote, and this is one of the pearls of our trip!

Lanzarote is known as the “Island of Fire Breathing Mountains” because it has over 300 volcanoes! And yet, the island is famous for its lunar landscapes: in the period from 1730 to 1736, many volcanoes erupted here, as a result of which a third of the island became covered with lifeless basalt and ash. There are many interesting places in Lanzarote: the unique Cueva de los Verdes volcanic cave, the Timanfaya National Park, located on hot lava, the cactus garden, El Golfo Lake, and they also produce wine from grapes grown in the craters of the volcano. We will definitely get to know this amazing island better!

Day 5. Return to Fuerteventura, Grand Tarajal marina.
Back at sea and again continuing our training in yachting. By the fifth day, the new knowledge will have subsided a bit, so during the passage we will train to keep the yacht on course and learn how to tack and gybe.

In the evening we return to the third largest city of Fuerteventura, Gran Tarajal. One of the peculiarities of this place is that many houses here are decorated with very unusual and bright patterns. In the evening we will walk and enjoy the beauty.

Day 6. Transfer to Morro Jable marina in Fuerteventura.
We have already been here, but since we need to return to Gran Canaria, we will make one more stop. We won’t be bored: we’ll explore the city in more detail, and since by this time all the crew members will have already become real sailors, we’ll go to the local sea bar and, like experienced sea wolves, we’ll talk about distant seas and countries.

Our journey ends with a special farewell dinner from the captain – let’s share our impressions of the past week and exchange contacts.

Day 2. Transfer to the south of Tenerife, Las Gaietas marina.
In the morning, immediately after breakfast, the captain conducts basic training, and we go to sea and go to the island of Tenerife.

Tenerife is the most famous island of the Canary archipelago. We will stop at the small fishing village of Las Gaietas. The marina was built in the Moroccan style, the town itself is small, but there is one very interesting Peruvian restaurant here. We will definitely have dinner there!

Day 4. Exploring the island of El Hierro by car.
El Hierro is a completely mystical place. Previously, the island was called Ferro and until the 20th century it was believed that the zero meridian passes through it. This island was the beginning of the countdown and the end of the Earth, beyond the boundless Atlantic Ocean. 50 thousand years ago, a huge piece of the island broke off, collapsed to the bottom of the ocean, and the height of the tsunami raised by this block crossed the Atlantic and covered the coasts of Brazil and Argentina.

By the way, since 2004, millions of euros have been spent on the construction of the Goronda del viento wind-hydraulic power plant, and now the island is a completely closed energy system.
The highest point of the island is Malpaso Peak – the higher you go, the more surreal the landscapes become. We will definitely devote the whole day to this mystical island, drive a car and explore all the most interesting places.

Day 5. Trek to La Gomera, San Sebastian Marina.
La Gomera is a separate island located near Tenerife. There are more than 20 climatic zones with incredibly beautiful and diverse nature. We will rent a car and drive around the island all day long. We will see the beaches with black volcanic sand, visit the Garajonay National Park, we will have lunch and drink red wine on the red earth, we will look at the unique Monteverde laurel forests, we will look into the botanical garden and find out how the ancient local Guanches lived, we will go to the Valley of the Great Kings for dinner , there we will admire the sunset, and on the way back we will see the absolutely incredible neighboring island of Tenerife, lying under the light of the moon and stars. All our travelers fall in love with La Gomera. We are sure you will not remain indifferent either!

Day 6. Let’s go back to Tenerife, Las Gaietas.
Let’s visit Tenerife again for a while, and this time we will visit a local sea bar, where we will try real sea drinks!

The journey ends. We are waiting for a signature farewell dinner from the captain, during which we will share our impressions of the past week and exchange contacts.

Hiking conditions:

IMPORTANT!!!
In order for your expedition to be successful and bring only positive emotions, you need to pay attention to several points:

Yacht trip is a sea (in rare cases, river, our trip also includes passage through the canals) trip to see new places, meet new people, participate in the management of a yacht or flat-bottomed sailboats. During the whole yacht trip we live in 2-bed cabins and cook our own meals. There are anchorages both in equipped marinas and at small berths (for example, next to restaurants), there are also wild anchorages. This is a great way to rediscover long-explored countries or yet unknown places. Nobody will remain indifferent for sure.

Captain (skipper) of the team – responsible for the management of the yacht, if the team wishes, he can share his experience and teach basic things; route, daily routine and team safety are also in his introduction. It is necessary to obey the captain unquestioningly and fulfill all his commands, since yachting is a holiday of a hanged risk, and in order for it to be remembered only by positive moments, this rule must not be neglected. In our trips, the yacht is managed by a certified captain-instructor with 35 years of yachting experience and extensive teaching practice.

Team will consist of the same cool adventurers as you – your future friends with whom in the future, you may make more than one trip. If you are alone, it’s okay, during the expedition we will unite into a friendly team, taking a smile and respect with us on the road.

Participants: 7 people team + licensed skipper (team captain).

Age of participants: from 14 to 60 years old

Fitness level: Medium. Like any sport, sailing a yacht requires a certain amount of physical fitness, but on modern cruise ships, most operations are automated and brute strength is practically not required. However, it must be taken into account that physical activity will be present, although not sports. The most important thing that is required of you is the desire to master the sea business and spend your vacation actively.

Accommodation: our sailings take place on our own yacht, which has covered more than one thousand miles. Proven design and reliable safety equipment make sailing safe. The boat has everything you need for a comfortable life: cabins with comfortable beds and wardrobes, a toilet with a shower and hot water, a spacious saloon with a kitchen.

Specifications and description of the yacht:
Yacht Bavaria 51 Cruiser. Length 14.99 m / Beam 4.49 m / Cabins: 5 / Latrine: 3.

Meals:
1) buying food in supermarkets, self-cooking on board;
2) cafes, restaurants on the shore, where we will moor daily.
The choice is always up to the team, usually the participants alternate both ways, for example, breakfast and a light lunch on board, dinner in a restaurant on the shore. Such a schedule allows you to save money and at the same time not to deny yourself anything.

Vaccinations: not required

Attention! The route may be changed by the decision of the organizing committee due to the deterioration of climatic conditions, or other unforeseen or extreme situations that may endanger the health and life of the participants of the trip.

School Vacations:

Each fourth resident of Estonia travels alone for Christmas. Where, why, and most importantly – why?

News

24. 12.2018, 10:00


PHOTO: Foto: Caro / Sorge, Caro / Sorge / Scanpix

the situation is changing – only every fourth inhabitant of Estonia plans to relax in another country without relatives and friends. What vacation options do solo travelers who decide to leave their native expanses at the last minute have?

Thousands of people travel to other countries during the holidays. Mostly couples, whole families and groups of friends. “Christmas and New Year’s still prefer to spend in the circle of family and friends. This principle also applies to the winter travel period,” says Airi Ilisson-Cruz, marketing director of the travel company Estravel.

Every year about 39% of Estravel’s customers travel alone, but during Christmas and New Year’s this percentage is lower – only 27% of customers travel alone. The fact that during the winter holidays most of the tourists go on vacation with someone else is confirmed by Novatours, one of the leading travel agencies in Estonia.

Estonians choose both warm countries and exotic destinations

“The most popular holiday destinations are still the resorts of Egypt – Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, as well as the Canary Islands – Tenerife and Lanzarote. But the number of trips to the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and India is increasing significantly,” says Olev Riisberg, head of public relations and advertising at Novatours.

On average, for a weekly all-inclusive package tour during the holiday period, Novatours customers spend about 800 euros per adult and 500-650 euros per child. “In December, for the holidays, tourists choose to stay from 4 to 14 nights. The cost of trips to long-distance destinations is higher, but the duration of the trip is also longer,” explains Riisberg.

During this period, solo tourists most often combine leisure with work, studies, hobbies or some kind of project. In addition, they often fly to the very country where some friends or acquaintances live, that is, again, they combine business with pleasure. But there are also clients who simply leave Estonia to rest somewhere all alone. “Travellers who decide to go on their own are the ones who ask us the most for cruise ship and plane tickets, as well as hotel stays,” says Airy Ilisson-Cruz, director of marketing for travel firm Estravel.

Holiday package tours are very rarely bought per person, 95% of all tours sold were for clients traveling with someone. According to statistics, at the end of the year, most often single travelers go to Helsinki, Hurghada and Moscow. Throughout the year, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Spain and Russia are considered the most popular destinations among single tourists.

So-called emotional tours are gaining more and more popularity

According to Svetlana Vertyanova, Head of Marketing and Sales at TEZ Tour, travel offers for the Christmas and New Year period offer to enjoy the sun, get positive emotions and make new acquaintances. “Today, the so-called emotional tours and all kinds of thematic camps are considered very popular – for example, surfing resorts, yoga, ski centers,” says Svetlana Vertyanova.

She notes that completely different people go to such places, but all of them are united by a common interest in some business or occupation. “This is how friendships arise, and who knows, maybe next year you won’t have to go on vacation alone. At least there will be a clear plan for what to do next holidays,” said the head of the marketing and sales department of TEZ Tour.

Since all TEZ Tour packages are already sold out for Christmas, free places can be found in the resorts of the Canary Islands, for example, in Tenerife or Lanzarote. “I would advise nature lovers to choose this destination, who could rent a car and go explore the island on their own, could visit various national parks or go on an excursion, as well as catch the sun on excellent beaches,” said Svetlana Vertyanova.

There are also free places in Egyptian Sharm el-Sheikh. “The hotels in Egypt always organize New Year’s parties, gala dinners and festive entertainment. This holiday is more suitable for people who appreciate the cheerful and noisy atmosphere of the holiday and want to enjoy the water world of the Red Sea,” advised the head of the marketing and sales department of TEZ Tour.

You can find a “last minute” offer, but it’s worth considering other options

Since there are only a few days left before the New Year, representatives of Estravel ja Novatours travel companies confirm that you can still count on “last minute” offers, but then you need to will adjust its plans to the number of proposed days of rest, as well as to the direction of future travel. “A short but impressive vacation can also be spent in Estonia or neighboring countries,” says Airi Ilisson-Kruz, director of marketing at the travel company Estravel. Or, as an option, you can choose organized flights to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada with departures on January 1, 4 and 5.

A few tips for those who find it difficult to find a travel companion, but do not want to spend Christmas alone: ​​

* View last minute offers from various travel agencies
* Company and new friends can appear if you buy a ticket for New Year’s Eve in some hotel and sanatorium in Estonia
* A cruise or a package tour where a large company gathers. For example, during the week of a cruise in the Caribbean, there will definitely be many new acquaintances

Christmas and New Year traditions of the Spanish regions Noticia

Madrid . Grapes in the Puerta del Sol

In Madrid, there is no more traditional and typical New Year’s custom than eating 12 grapes on the night of January 1 in the Puerta del Sol. They are supposed to be eaten to the sound of chimes decorating the former government building, which now houses the Royal Post Office. This watch was presented to Madrid in 1866 by the London-based watchmaker José Rodriguez Lozada. The tradition associated with grapes, according to historians, originated in the 19th century – its first mentions are found in the Madrid press in 1894 year. According to one version, that year in Alicante and Murcia they gathered an unprecedented harvest of grapes, the surplus of which was distributed to the townspeople. And the inhabitants of Madrid and other regions simply adopted this tradition. Now thousands of Madrid and foreigners are going to Puerta del Sol not only on December 31, but also on December 30.

Castile-La Mancha . Pigs, carnival and festive processions

In Almagro (Ciudad Real), Christmas celebrations begin with the “baptism” of a pig – an animal that will be played on the day of St. Anthony the Great on January 17 among the inhabitants of the city, is given a name (this year the pig was named Gresca) . After that, they begin to fatten her up and treat her extremely respectfully.

Meanwhile, in the town of Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real), a carnival is held during the Christmas holidays. Unlike other regions of the country, it is celebrated not in February, but on December 28, on the Day of the Holy Innocent Infants of Bethlehem.

In other towns, such as Villanueva de los Infantes or Herencia, youth festivities on Christmas Eve start around 21:00 – 22:00. Boys and girls gather around fires and roast meat. Visitors to these cities are often amazed by the fact that young people and adults spend the night before Christmas separately.

In the south of Ciudad Real, in Puertollano, on the eve of Christmas, locals walk the streets playing sambombs (a type of drum) and singing carols.

Local gastronomy plays an important role in the New Year celebrations. Castile-La Mancha is best known for holiday sweets, but pork dishes can also be found on most tables.

A significant place in the culture of the region is also occupied by the tradition of creating nativity scenes. Dozens of associations create their own scenes of the birth of Jesus. In some cities, there are even themed routes for similar compositions.

Balearic Islands . A mix of Spanish traditions

Over the years, local customs for celebrating Christmas have changed significantly. So, in the mid-50s of the last century, a festive dinner on December 24 was a rarity: as a rule, on this day, local residents set up a nativity scene, after which they went to the Christmas service, and at the end of the evening they were treated to traditional holiday sweets. Large family gatherings were held on December 25 and 26 – dinners began at noon, which dragged on for many hours.

Since the 1960s, people from different parts of mainland Spain began to come to the islands, which significantly changed the holiday habits of the islanders. Each time, more and more families held dinners on December 24 – however, the tradition of feasts on the following days also exists now.

Navarra . Olentzeros, carnival costumes and sorcerers

In Navarre, Christmas is inextricably linked with various religious rituals. In many cities, Christmas Eve begins with the arrival of Olentzero, a drunken fat collier. According to legend, he descends from the mountains to announce the birth of the baby Jesus, after which he passes through the streets of cities, accompanied by a cheerful retinue and rural animals, and at night distributes gifts to children.

New Year’s Eve is also celebrated here in a big way. One of the most unusual rituals has survived to this day in the town of Urdiain. It is associated with water: when the clock strikes midnight, young people run through the streets of the city, singing songs, begging for gifts and offering a jug of spring water to the locals. In Pamplona, ​​for several decades, the old year has been seen off with a carnival.

Another important date in the festive calendar of Navarre is the arrival of the Magi Kings, which is accompanied by many processions. So, in Sanguez on January 6, the dramatic allegory “The Mystery of the Kings” takes place, and in Pamplona, ​​the Magi are worshiped in the covered gallery of the local cathedral.

Basque Country : Olentzero and Inchaursalsa

The protagonist of the festivals in Navarre and the Basque Country is the aforementioned Olentzero. According to legend, all year round he works on the mountain, where he mines coal for the people, and on Christmas night he delivers gifts to everyone. Like Papa Noel (Santa Claus in the Spanish tradition), they write letters to him with requests for certain presents. Usually on December 24, processions are held in his honor through the streets of cities.

Paradoxically, there are almost no special Christmas dishes in Basque cuisine. One of the few festive treats is inchaursalsa, a dessert made from ground nuts, milk, sugar and cinnamon, served cold. Also a fairly typical dish is fruit compote. In many Basque houses, snails in sauce, cabbage fried with garlic in butter, as well as meat and fish dishes are popular.

Galicia : Apalpador and the myths of the mountains of the province of Lugo

Apalpador is a mythical character that some old people from Lugo still remember. In some ways, he is similar to the Basque Olentzero: he is a tall and fat collier who smokes a pipe, wears a beret and eats berries and the meat of dead wild boars.

On Christmas night, Apalpador comes to the children, touches their bellies to check if they are well fed, and leaves them a handful of chestnuts, wishing them a prosperous year.

In recent years, some nationalist groups have tried to propagate the myth of Apalpadora and turn it into a symbol of Christmas in Galicia. In addition, in recent years, the female image of this character has become increasingly common.

Castile and León

There are many Christmas events in this region designed to bring adults and children together. One of the most famous is the Carrera del Pavo, or “Turkey Race”, which takes place in Segovia on the morning of December 25th. Its participants control bicycles without the help of pedals. For more than three hours, they try to set the vehicle in motion using only their bodies.

A masquerade is held in Sansoles (Zamora) during the winter holidays. The locals dress up as devils, demons, and other similar characters and stalk other townspeople looking for gifts. This event is also held in other cities of the region on December 26th.

In the town of Riofrio de Aliste (Zamora), the locals dress up as terrifying creatures – “karochos”. In such robes, they celebrate the New Year by launching firecrackers.

Valencia

Valencia has many different folk Christmas traditions. This is especially true of the province of Alicante – the history of some of the local rituals goes back hundreds of years. A vivid example of this is the town of Alcoy, where Christmas begins with the installation of one of the most unusual nativity scenes in the world, Belen de Tirisiti, which is a unique puppet show.

In addition, the local tradition of the procession of the Magi Kings is one of the oldest in Spain. They pass through the streets of Alcoy on their camels, accompanied by dancers, shepherds and many others. Thousands of people take part in the procession.

Another essential part of Christmas is typical local sweets. The town of Gijón is the birthplace of turrón, a traditional Spanish variety of nougat. It is made from a mixture of roasted almonds with egg white and honey. 75% of the turron produced per year is sold during the winter holidays.

An obligatory stop on the Valencia Christmas route is also the town of Ibi, where on December 28 the power over the city is taken by the “sprinkled with flour” (els enfarinats) – the locals throw eggs, set off firecrackers and throw flour.

Canaries . “Ranchos de Pasqua”

“Ranchos de Pasqua” is one of the oldest Christmas rituals in the archipelago. It originates in the 16th century. His main task is to “save” souls from purgatory. During the holiday, musical groups pass through the streets of cities, collecting money for a service for the repose of the souls of departed citizens. This tradition is most common in the eastern islands – Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

Andalusia . Flamenco folklore

Andalusian Christmas is inextricably linked with flamenco culture. Processions with sambomb drums have become an obligatory item in the Christmas program of Jerez. Initially, local families gathered at the door of their homes to talk, sing songs and dance on the occasion of the holiday, but over time this tradition has become one of the most important tourist attractions in the city.

In rural areas of Andalusia, there is another custom – heralds pass through the villages, singing carols to the sound of bells, triangles and other musical instruments. At a certain point in time, this tradition practically disappeared, but now it has received a rebirth.

Nativity scenes also play an important role in Andalusia’s festive program. In recent years, figures for Holy Week processions have been reused to create the above-mentioned compositions in churches.

As for the festive menu, the Andalusian town of Estepa has become famous not only in Spain, but also abroad thanks to the shortbread polvorones and its variety of mantecado, which includes Iberian pig fat.

Pyramids of Guimar – Guimar on the map

The Pyramids of Güímar refer to six rectangular pyramid-shaped, terraced structures built from lava stone without the use of mortar. They are located in the district of Chacona, part of the town of Güímar on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain. The structures have been dated to the 19th century and they may originally have been a byproduct of contemporary agricultural techniques.

Other pyramids employing the same methods and materials of construction can be found in various sites on Tenerife. In Güímar itself there were nine pyramids, only six of which survive.

Research history

Thor Heyerdahl’s hypothesis

In 1990, adventurer and publisher, Thor Heyerdahl, became aware of the “Canarian Pyramids” by reading an article written by Francisco Padrón in the Tenerife newspaper “Diario de Avisos” detailing “real pyramids on the Canaries”. As Heyerdahl had hypothesized a transatlantic link between Egypt and Central America, he became intrigued by the Güímar pyramids and relocated to Tenerife. There Heyerdahl researched possible parallels between the Canarian terrace structures and pyramid structures in Egypt and Central America in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonial areas.

Heyerdahl hypothesised that the Canarian pyramids formed a temporal and geographic stopping point on voyages between ancient Egypt and the Maya civilization, initiating a controversy in which historians, esoterics, archaeologists, astronomers, and those with a general interest in history took part.

Astronomical research and Freemasonry

In 1991, research by Juan Antonio Belmonte Avilés, Antonio Aparicio Juan and César Esteban López, researchers of the Canary Institute of Astrophysics, shown that the long sides of some of the terrace structures at Güímar marked the direction of both solstices. The main limiting wall points to the sunset in the Summer solstice and the pyramids have stairs on their western side which face the direction of the rising sun on the Winter solstice. Also, standing on the platform of the largest pyramid on the day of the Summer solstice it is possible to experience a double sunset, as first the sun sets behind a mountain top, then it emerges again from behind the mountain and sets a second time behind a neighbouring peak. However, considering the room for interpretation, it is impossible based solely on these observations to conclude what was the intention of the builders or the building date.

In 2005, a book was published in Spanish by Aparicio and Esteban titled The Pyramids of Güímar: Myth and Reality. Aparicio and Esteban suggest that the solstitial orientations of the pyramids were potentially motivated by the Freemasons symbolism. These authors argue that solstices are very important in the symbolism of Freemasonry and that the owner of the land in the epoch in which the pyramids were built was himself a freemason. This motivation would be only an aesthetic one and would not modify in any rate the fundamental motivation (agriculture) and date of construction.

Archaeological excavations

Between 1991 and 1998, with the agreement of Thor Heyerdahl, multiple excavations of the site by archaeologists of the University of La Laguna (Departamento de Prehistoria, Antropología e Historia Antigua) took place. In 1996 the results of the 1991 excavation were presented at a colloquium (published in 1998), providing evidence for the dating of the pyramids. According to the preceding geophysical Georadar-Survey eight locations adjacent to the pyramids, each with an area of 25 m², were investigated in layers down to the solid lava-floor. In doing so it was possible to establish three specific sediment layers. Starting from the top these were:

  1. A layer of thickness averaging 20 cm, consisting of humus-rich earth with many plant remains and roots; tracks from ploughing were clearly identifiable as were a broad spectrum of readily datable finds from the second half of the 20th century.
  2. A layer of thickness averaging 25 cm, similar in composition to the first layer, however containing less humus and a larger amount of small stones; a large variety of finds which could be dated to the 19th and 20th century were found, of which an official seal from 1848 deserves particular mention.
  3. A layer of thickness between 25 and 150 cm, composed out of small volcanic rocks, most likely put in place in one movement, which levelled the uneven stone underneath; the stones contained only very few finds, mostly a small number of pottery shards, of which some was local and some imported, both kinds were roughly estimated as belonging to the 19th century; the pyramids stand strategraphically directly on top of this bottom layer, therefore allowing only for an earliest date of construction of the pyramids within the 19th century.

Furthermore, under the border edge of one of the pyramids, a natural lava cave was discovered. It had been walled up and yielded artefacts from the time of the Guanches. Since the pyramids lie stratigraphically above the cave, the Guanche finds from between 600 and 1000 AD can only support conclusions on the date of human use of the cave. The above survey indicates that the pyramids themselves cannot be older than the 19th century.

Conclusions

Pyramids of Güímar

The archaeologists involved maintain that the creation of the terrace structures followed from the practices of the 19th century rural population, who created these structures while clearing cultivatable land of stones, as they piled the stones into these terrace shapes. The excavations and subsequent research support a date for the construction of the structures no earlier than the 19th century.

Heyerdahl suggested that the structures were not haphazardly piled-up stones. Heyerdahl maintained a belief in the hypothesis that the pyramids were connected with Guanches until his death. The association of the Guanches and the pyramids continues to be elaborated upon both in “Pyramid park” and on its official website.

Aparicio and Esteban’s theory connects the facts that the pyramids were built in the 19th century with the acknowledgement that they are not simply piles of stones.

Ethnographic park

Following the completion of the excavations in 1998, the 65,000 m² area surrounding the pyramids was made accessible to the public. Heyerdahl received financial support from his friend the Canarian businessman Fred Olsen, who owns the largest transport company in the Canaries and whose family came to the islands from Norway in the 20th century. An information centre provides visitors with information about Heyerdahl’s research trips and his previous ideas regarding the pyramids. Two pavilions contain exhibits relating to Heyerdahl along with models of his boats; a replica of the Ra II in its original size, amongst others. In spite of the conclusions regarding the age of the pyramids outlined above, Heyerdahl continued to maintain a belief “in a possible relationship between the existence of the pyramids and the pre Hispanic civilisation on Tenerife”. The objects found in the Guanche cave are shown in the “museum” in heavily enlarged photos, whilst the imported ceramics from the 19th century are mentioned only briefly on an information board – without illustration. The official website states that the museum includes “the results of the excavation campaigns undertaken at the Park”. But the results dating the pyramids to the 19th century are not mentioned.

timetables, ticket prices and how to get there

The pyramids of Guimar are one of the most amazing attractions on the island of Tenerife. Very often when one thinks of the pyramids, places such as Egypt and Mexico are associated, but even in Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands, you can admire these wonderful buildings from the ancient era.

Story

The discovery of the pyramids of Guimar starts in 1991, when the famous explorer Thor Heyerdahl, who had shown that primitive boats could cross the Atlantic Ocean, spoke of the existence of pyramids in the Canary Islands.

He had come to these places while he was trying to find further evidence of transoceanic contacts that occurred before those of Christopher Columbus.

The pyramids

This important complex originally housed nine pyramids, but today only six remain. They are located in the city of Guimar on the east coast of Tenerife, in an ethnological park open to the public, about 40 kilometers south of the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The pyramids, characterized by five levels of rectangular shape, reach a ‘maximum height of twelve meters and are part of a larger complex, which includes platforms and various containers, the latter apparently used for animals that were offered in sacrifice.

Although much has been discovered about these pyramids, there is a lot of controversy over the actual date and who built these wonderful structures. Studies have revealed that the pyramids have been aligned with the winter and summer sun solstices, again emphasizing that many, if not all pyramids have a astronomical component.

Every 21st June in the Ethnographic Park it is possible to observe, weather permitting, the double sunset phenomenon, when the sun disappears behind the mountains of Anaga, only to appear again and finally set a second time in a small niche, which in fact appears to have been specially carved into the mountain for this purpose.

Casa Chacona Museum

In addition to the pyramids, the park also includes the Casa Chacona museum in which there is aexhibition of pyramids from around the world. The museum aims to highlight the common features of various objects and sculptures to demonstrate the theory of cultural parallelism.

Auditorium

There is also an auditorium where they are screened documentaries on transoceanic expeditions in six different languages ​​and with an adjoining room where four of the boats with which Thor Heyerdahl crossed the main oceans of the planet are presented.

Exhibition on the colonization of Polynesia

Inside the park there is an exhibition on the colonization of Polynesia and Easter Island which aims to make known one of the most beautiful and exciting stories in the world. The exhibition tells the life of Polynesian societies, which for more than a millennium has developed a spectacular culture on the distant and small Easter Island.

gardens

In a garden surrounding area of ​​20.000 square meters, the main products of the island’s exports or the most particular and unique specimens of flora, which live only in the Canary Islands or in a few other islands, are presented.

Il Secret Garden, in its 1500 square meters, it hosts over 70 species of poisonous plants from all over the world. A unique exhibition of its kind, which contains some of the most dangerous plants in the world. The Secret Garden was conceived to promote the knowledge and conservation of this botanical collection.

The park also offers the opportunity to rest in the relaxation and picnic areas, and organize the presentation of events with cocktails, gala dinners and themed dinners.

Opening Hours

The facility is open every day from 9:30 in the morning until 18:00 in the afternoon. The park is closed on 25 December and 1 January.

Ticket prices

Adult ticket cost (from 13 years upwards) – 18 €

Reduced ticket cost for children (from 7 to 12 years) – € 6,50

Reduced ticket cost for students (up to 30 years) – € 13,50

The ticket includes unlimited access to all exhibitions: the pyramids, visit the museum, the auditorium, the outdoor paths, the sustainable garden, the poison garden and the exhibition on the colonization of Polynesia.

There are also cheaper tickets, but they only include some of the exhibits and exhibits.

How to reach us

The easiest way to get to the Guimar Pyramids Ethnological Park is by renting a car and along the TF-1 highway that connects the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife with the south of the island.

Pyramids of Guimar Ethnographic Park –

Thor Heyerdahl and Pyramides of Guimar

Posted on March 30, 2021 by Red Queen’s Musings

Those who have already visited the pyramids of Güímar certainly know Thor Heyerdahl. For those who don´t, he was an anthropologist who claimed that travel between the continents occurred even before Marco Polo or Columbus. He also made comparisons between the lines of the pyramid and the summer solstice.

Thor Heyerdahl born on 6 October 1914 in Norway (which each year is celebrated in Tenerife) and studied biology and geography at the University of Oslo, where he specialised in the anthropology of Polynesia and he studied the migration routes of the Marquesas and of the Indians of British Columbia in the 1930s.

During the Second World War, he joined the Norwegian Para Unit of the Allied Forces. In 1947, he travelled from Peru to Polynesia for 101 days on the Kon-Tiki, a reed raft, a replica of which is in the Pirámides de Güímar museum. His book about the expedition was turned into a film that won an Oscar. From 1950, he lectured to a wide range of audiences on Aboriginal migration routes in the Eastern Pacific, Southeast Asia and South America.

In the 1960s, Heyerdahl experimented with building a boat from Egyptian papyrus reeds, which he named after the Egyptian sun god Ra. He constructed the boat the way the ancient Egyptians would as he wanted to prove that it was possible for the ancient Egyptians to cross an ocean at that time. On his trip, he saw the amount of pollution in the Atlantic Ocean and he started a campaign for the protection of the environment.

In 1990, he started a project in the Canary Islands, to protect the pyramids of Güímar. Heyerdahl noted that the large rock heaps were not just stones, but pyramids. Furthermore, he discovered the pyramids were placed in special astronomical positions and on 21 June, the day of the summer solstice, a double sunset can be seen from the largest pyramid.

Despite his research, Heyerdahl was never able to find out the age of the pyramids or answer who built them. The Güímar pyramids were opened to the public as an ethnological park and anyone who wants to read more about it can read about my personal visit HERE.

  • What makes the Red Queen’s Tenerife blog different?

    For starters, what you read is not written by a professional travel writer. I do it because I remember what it was like to have the dream. To want to live somewhere with beautiful beaches, wild seas, sun filled days, glorious sunsets and whilst most of the time it is idyllic nowhere is Nirvana. So I tell you if it is good and I tell you if it is bad. The difference is I don´t do it because someone is paying me to say nice things about Tenerife.

Pyramids of Guimar | it’s… What is the Pyramids of Guimar?

Coordinates: 28°19′19″ N sh. 16°24′47″ W / 28.321944° N. sh. 16.413056° W d. (G) (O) 28.321944, -16.413056

Guimar Pyramids (Spanish Pirámides de Güímar ) – six stepped pyramids on the southeastern coast of the island of Tenife-Güífemar, located on the southeast coast of the island of the incoming city of Tenifemar Canary Islands. According to scientists, these structures were piled up by local farmers, who, when plowing the land, have a habit of stacking the found stones at the borders of the fields. This was a common practice in the Canary Islands, especially in the second half of the 19th century. According to locals and according to old images, such pyramids existed in many places on the island, but were demolished due to their perceived uselessness and were used as a source of cheap building material. There were nine pyramids directly in Guimar, of which only six have survived.

Heyerdahl’s Theory

In 1991, the controversial traveler Thor Heyerdahl studied the pyramids and declared that they could not be just mountains of cobblestones. For example, distinct traces of stone processing were found at the corners of the pyramids, and also that the ground was leveled before the construction of the pyramids. The material is not round boulders from local fields, but pieces of lava. Heyerdahl also gave an opinion on the astronomical orientation of the pyramids. On the day of the summer solstice, from the platform at the top of the largest pyramid, you can observe a double sunset: the sun disappears behind the mountain peak, then reappears, sets behind the neighboring peak a second time. All pyramids on the western side have stairs that lead exactly to the rising sun on the morning of the winter solstice.

Heyerdahl was never able to find out the age of the pyramids or answer the question of who built them. However, it is firmly known that Guanches lived in a cave under one of the pyramids – the natives of the Canaries. Guimar, until the Spanish conquest of the Canary Islands at the end of the 15th century, was the residence of one of the 10 mensei (kings) of Tenerife. It is noteworthy that, according to Pliny the Elder, the Canary Islands were uninhabited at the time of Hanno the Navigator (approximately 600 BC), but, however, the ruins of large structures were located on them. The origin of the Guanches is not entirely clear. Crossing to the Canary Islands from the nearest coast in southern Morocco is difficult due to sea currents, while at the same time it is much easier from Europe and the Mediterranean.

Heyerdahl put forward a theory according to which the Canary Islands in ancient times were a staging post on the route between America and the Mediterranean. The fastest route between these two parts of the world really passes through the Canary Islands – this was used, for example, by Christopher Columbus. As early as 1970, Heyerdahl showed that navigation between North Africa and the Caribbean was possible by ancient methods – he sailed from Morocco to Barbados on a papyrus boat Ra II [1] [2] [3] .

Tourism

In 1998, with the financial support of Thor Heyerdahl and his friend, the Norwegian shipowner Fred Olsen, the 65,000 m² Pyramid Ethnological Park of Guimar was opened. The information center introduces visitors to Heyerdahl’s expeditions and his theories of the origin of the pyramids. Two pavilions contain exhibitions dedicated to Heyerdahl and models of his boats, among other exhibits a life-size model of Ra II.

Tenerife Travel Guide: Hotels, Best Beaches, Towns, Resorts, Attractions and Accommodations

Towns And Resorts

Tenerife is a volcanic paradise that is known due to versatile services and a variety of interesting attractions. Thus, it is the reason why this island is the most popular region of the Canary Islands.

Los Cristianos

Located near the South Tenerife airport, this resort town is considered one of the main epicenters of nightlife on the island. If you aim to spend time at local bars or nightclubs, be sure to visit the Hard Rock Café and the Papagayo Beach Club. At the same time, if you are an admirer of water sports, you can also come here. For instance, Playa de las Vistas and Playa de Los Cristianos are the main beaches with well-developed infrastructure where you can either spend time with children or improve your skills in surfing.

Costa Adeje

This town is famous for its tourist shops, international restaurants, and huge clubs, such as the Monkey Beach Club and Bahia Beach. If you want to make unforgettable moments, you can book a table at Le Club, buy a strawberry mojito, and enjoy a magnificent sunset. Furthermore, a huge number of people tend to come here in order to relax on attractive, sophisticated sandy beaches.

Alcalá

As a former fishermen town, this tourist destination is tremendously popular thanks to its luxury accommodations and the highest quality services. For example, numerous couples in love prefer going to this part of Tenerife, as it is here that they have the opportunity to escape the noise of nightclubs and enjoy relaxing vacation. Simultaneously, this town has several sailing schools where people can get private lessons.

Puerto de Santiago

Taking into consideration that this town is situated a bit far away from the South Tenerife Airport, it is less busy than other regions. As a result, it can be described as a remote destination where tourists can enjoy natural attractions and local traditions. Subsequently, if you would like to associate your vacation with narrow streets, cafeterias with local Canarian

Best Beaches

Whether you prefer quiet beaches or the ones with well-developed infrastructure, you can always find an interesting place for your vacation here.

Abama Beach

As a tranquil sandy beach located at the southern part of the island, Abama Beach is one of the best spots for people who are fond of relaxing vacation. In addition, this beach offers great views of the sunset, as the beach is surrounded by big rocks thrown into the sea. Therefore, the lack of noisy clubs and calm water make this beach a perfect place of vacation for tourists with children.

Fañabé Beach

In turn, this beach is one of the main spots for people who are looking for fun and well-developed infrastructure. Taking into account that the beach is surrounded by clubs playing music, your vacation will not be boring. For example, you have the opportunity to swim in the water, sunbathe with a cocktail in your hand, and spend the night dancing to the recent music hits. Nowadays, this beach is awarded the blue flag, which is proof of its perfect conditions for swimming.

Los Guios – Gigantes Beach

If you are looking for a beach where you can find spectacular views, this beach is your best option. It is recommended to come here with children, as the water is tremendously clear and calm. However, this beach is close to the harbor, which is why there are numerous motor ships that can be noticed nearby. At the same time, its black sand, stunning views, and close location to various restaurants and shops make the beach a great tourist destination for a vacation.

La Tejita

This beach is covered in red volcanic rock, which makes this place unique. It is here that you can enjoy snorkeling and surfing, as there are perfect conditions for these water sports. Moreover, it is hidden in the mountains, which encourages nudists to come here as well. Nevertheless, it is one of the most beautiful spots in Tenerife where you can enjoy unique natural features.

Attractions And Activities

In addition to the beach vacation, Tenerife offers a variety of options to its guests. Accordingly, this island can satisfy the expectations of all tourists regardless of their gender, age, and personal preferences.

Visit Mount Teide National Park

As a part of a World Heritage List, this attraction is worth the attention of all tourists. In fact, it is a volcano and the highest mountain peak in Spain. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the volcanoes, craters, vents, and magnificent views, you should head to this place. Once you arrive here, you can hike or take a cable car.

Explore Siam Park

This attraction is widely known as a Thai-themed water park that covers an area of approximately 48 acres. It is here that you can find the largest collection of Thai buildings in Europe. It is advised to come here in the company friends or families, as you will get a vast amount of incredible emotions that you would like to share with your loved ones.

Go To The Museum of Science and the Cosmos

If you make the decision to visit this place, you will undoubtedly increase the level of awareness of the world of science and astronomy.

Today, it combines the best contemporary presentation techniques and a plethora of interactive displays. Hence, you can visit this attraction with children who will also get a huge amount of positive impressions.

Attend Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnevale

Nowadays, the Canary Islands are compared to Brazil in terms of various festivals and interesting events. Therefore, in order to have a lot of fun, you should definitely attend some local festivals, such as Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnevale. It is the event that is usually associated with rhythm, color, flamboyance, and luxury. The festival usually lasts for nearly 2 weeks when people have the opportunity to dance and enjoy spectacular shows.

Guide to Tenerife

Of all the Canary Island’s tropical offspring, Tenerife is undoubtedly its most famously suntanned celebrity; its western sisters of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, stars in their own right. With year-round average temperatures of 23C/73F, the climate is the envy of Europe. But this is only one reason why the Canary Islands attract millions of visitors every year. Some seek nothing more than to leave with a healthy glow and postcard memories of snoozing on golden sand. Others are keen to explore the mysteries that lie huddled within mountainous folds and deep valleys.

Whatever the reasons, at only four hours flying time from the UK, the province of Tenerife is a sub-tropical paradise that beckons you to return time and time again. There are 217 miles of shoreline around Tenerife, varying from the plunging cliffs of Los Gigantes on the west coast to the sandy crescent of Las Teresitas in the northeast. The most popular beaches are those in the south around the resorts of Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, whereas further east, El Medano provides one of the world’s finest windsurfing locations.

What to see

Since its inception as Tenerife’s capital in 1822, Santa Cruz has remained one of the busiest ports in Spain and is a regular stopping-off point for cruise liners. Notable points of interest include; the Museum of Nature and Man, a multimedia natural history museum; and the Ameyda Military Museum, housing the cannon which blew off Admiral Nelson’s arm when he attacked the city in 1793. More recently, the new Auditorium has provided the capital with a world famous landmark, reminiscent of Sydney’s Opera House.

Five miles inland, the old capital of La Laguna is one of the prettiest locations in Tenerife. Old mansions line narrow streets; their wooden balconies and wide-shuttered windows typify Canarian architecture. The Tenerife History Museum reveals all there is to know about the island’s occasionally tumultuous past. For a more hands-on experience the Museum of Science and the Universe is a button-pushers delight. La Orotava is perhaps La Laguna’s closest rival for the most attractive town award. Nestled on the fertile slopes of the north coast, La Orotava is a perfect place to stroll. Shaded plazas and cool patios provide respite from the searing sun working its wonders on the surrounding banana plantations.

Back down to the coast and you’ll find Puerto de la Cruz, a holiday resort that has beckoned visitors for over a hundred years. This is a town of two halves. To the west of Plaza del Charco, whitewashed houses and cobbled lanes reflect the serenity of years gone by. Whilst to the east, the excited chatter of holidaymakers reverberates around the labyrinth of cafés and restaurants.

Further west along the coast, Garachico is the Unlucky Alf of the Canary Islands. Freak storms, fires, epidemics and volcanic eruptions have repeatedly decimated this affable fishing port. However, all this misfortune hasn’t stopped it becoming one of Tenerife’s most popular short break destinations. Nature has always been the island’s most prolific architect, landscape gardener and outdoor decorator. There must be very few places on earth where such natural drama unfolds in such a small area. At 3,718 metres (12,198ft) Pico del Teide is Spain’s highest peak. The dormant volcano dominates the interior of the island and is Tenerife’s star attraction. A cable car carries 35 passengers at a time to within 200 metres from the lip of the crater. The journey to Mount Teide takes in a multitude of scenery. Passing through elegant pine forests you emerge into a bizarre lunar landscape of towering rocks and twisted lava flows leading to Las Cañadas, the interior crater of what used to be a mammoth volcano. Stretching for 10 miles it’s easy to see why films such as One Million Years BC and the original Planet of the Apes were shot here.

What to do

The internationally acclaimed Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is a must-see for all island visitors. The park not only houses the largest collection of parrots in the world but also has the largest penguinarium plus an outstanding aquarium. Over one-third of the world’s dolphin and whale species pass through Canarian waters so it’s no wonder that a whole sub-industry has evolved around whale watching excursions. Pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen performing for wide-eyed observers. In the south, trips can be booked from Los Cristianos and Puerto Colon.

From Jack Nicklaus to Jacques Cousteau, Tenerife provides a top quality arena whatever your sporting prowess. The island is fast becoming a golfer’s paradise with seven courses catering for all standards, from those with single digit handicaps to those with triple digit scorecards.
The island is equally renowned for superb diving. Luminous fish flash through shipwrecks and the underwater landscape teems with subtropical marine life. There are several sub aqua schools offering both introductory and advanced dives. For those who prefer keeping the water below them, deep-sea fishing trips for tuna, swordfish and marlin are available, and the trade winds maintain near-perfect conditions for yachtsmen and windsurfers.

Whatever your reasons for visiting the island, like the region’s famous Mojo sauce, it can come as somewhat of a surprise to the uninitiated – but once experienced it’s never forgotten.

Tenerife sits majestically in the shimmering Atlantic Ocean – bigger, bolder and more imposing than the rest of the Canary Islands. Travellers around the world are drawn here for the beaches and the sunny climate, but there is more to Tenerife than this: on your luxury escape with Elegant Resorts, you will discover a truly civilised island offering an amazing menu of things to see and do: museums, art galleries, couture shops, colonial towns, medieval castles, botanical gardens, world-class golf, surfing, whale-watching, tropical forest walks, jeep tours, helicopter flights – these are just a few highlights. This huge array of activities, alongside iconic natural landmarks like Mount Teide, makes it clear why visitors return to charming Tenerife year after year.

Highlights+

Mount Teide National Park

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true “must-see” in Tenerife. The third tallest volcano in the world and the highest peak in Spain, Mount Teide’s peak measures a staggering 3718m. The National Park is a geological gem and gateway to incredible hiking terrain, boasting miles of trails with extraordinary rocky boulders and unique flora. For a real challenge (and breathtaking views), take the five-hour climb to the top of Mount Teide, or, for a less strenuous route, take the scenic cable car ride. The park is stunning whatever the time of year but especially so in early spring, when the lower slopes blossom with colourful plant-life and the summit is draped in snow.


Puerto de la Cruz

The star of northern Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz offers beaches, boardwalks, restaurants and bakeries laden with German-style goodies. Mooch around the Old Town’s cobbled streets, before bagging a table by the harbour for a fresh fish lunch and exquisite wine. Watch animal antics at Loro Parque, cool off at the Lago Martianez open-air swimming pool or admire exotic flowers at Jardin Botanico. Just on Puerto de la Cruz’s doorstep, explore the fruit plantations of the lush Oratava Valley and the aristocratic town of La Oratava, where beautiful churches, renaissance mansions, pretty gardens and exclusive shops await.


Beaches & Watersports

In Costa Adeje, the golden-sand beaches take centre stage during the day, washed by warm, clear waters and scattered with plush sun-loungers for your comfort. As you might expect, water activities prove popular and there is a huge variety to choose from – windsurfing, jet-skiing and whale-watching boat trips are just a few aquatic highlights. Meanwhile, located on the west of the island, the secluded enclave of Guia de Isora offers a stunning unspoilt coastline. Due to the rougher waters around this area, surfing and kite-surfing are particularly good here. Home to an underwater kingdom of colourful marine life, explore beneath the ocean’s surface with snorkelling or scuba-diving.


Family

The perfect destination for your next family getaway, Tenerife has plenty to keep its younger guests entertained. Costa Adeje is home to two fabulous waterparks: Siam Park boasts a lush Thai theme throughout, offering thrilling slides and rushing rapids. Part of the park, “The Lost City”, houses multiple towers, bridges, nets, cascades and tamer water slides, perfect for even the smallest visitors. Aqualand, the area’s second park, is home to twisting slides, tube rides and the fun-filled “Kidzworld”. Meanwhile, Loro Park in Puerto de la Cruz is a glorious zoo and theme-park, home to an array of animals (including Killer Whales and Pandas) alongside fascinating exhibitions.

Guide to Tenerife – CLC World Resorts & Hotels

Destination guides


May 04, 2021

The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife has long been a popular holiday destination due to its warm tropical climate. Known as the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’, it is dominated by its volcano, Mount Teide.

But Tenerife is more than beaches and nightclubs; with a mix of colonial towns, museums, forest walks, designer shops and a Carnival that is second only to Rio, there’s so much to see and do you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Places to Visit

Los Cristianos & Playa de las Americas

In the south-western tip of the island this resort mecca has large sandy beaches, all-inclusive resorts and a nightlife that will leave you sleepy by the pool for a day or two.

Los Cristianos old town still has hints of the fishing village it used to be, while Playa de las Americas is vying to be the Las Vegas of Spain with fake pyramids, dazzling shopping centres and high-rise hotels.

There is lots to do from the world’s number 1 water park, Siam Park to the best zoo in Europe, Loro Parque.

La Orotava

Quite possibly the most attractive area of Tenerife, the town of La Orotava has street after street of beautiful traditional houses leading the town centre to be declared a Historic-Artistic Site. Formerly home to the island’s aristocrats, the architectural treasures include churches, monasteries and convents and the highlight – Casa de los Balcones.

There is much to explore here, with stylish restaurants offering excellent opportunities to recharge your batteries. If you visit during the Feast of Corpus Christi, the streets are covered in a carpet of flowers, a beautiful sight to behold – and very Instagram friendly.

La Gomera

A beautiful island off the coast of Tenerife, La Gomera is green, fertile and popular with nature lovers. The wooded areas have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for those who love to hike, there are a number of paths crossing the slopes.

The last place that Christopher Columbus stopped at before heading off in search of the new world in 1492, La Gomera is a fabulous day trip from Tenerife.

Garachio

Nature has a way of levelling the playing field and 300 years ago, with the eruption of Montaña Negra, the island’s main port Garachio went from a town of riches to one where lava ran through the streets.

The destruction of the port and subsequent outbreaks of disease, fire, flooding and plagues of locusts did not bring the town to its knees though. The lava created wonderful rock pools to swim in and, despite the tourists that rush to swim in those pools, the town itself is unspoiled with a picturesque plaza and enchanting quiet streets to explore.

The town’s motto, Glorious in Adversity, is most fitting.

Things to Do

Water Sports

Tenerife’s climate makes it the perfect choice for those who love water sports. From deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, kitesurfing and jet-skiing, the only reason to set foot on dry land is to eat and sleep!

Mount Teide National Park

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Teide National Park contains Spain’s highest mountain and is home to hundreds of different species of flowers, insects and birds. While the peak and crater are restricted access, you can reach 2,200 metres up by cable car.

The park’s location off the coast of Africa and with the vast expanse of the Atlantic on the other side, there is little light pollution which makes it an excellent place for stargazing. In fact, Tenerife has been designated a Starlight Destination and one of the world’s leading observatories is situated on the island.

Just a couple of reasons to make your way into the park’s interior.

Siam Park

Voted the best water park in the world for 5 years running, Siam Park has something for everyone with a choice of rides for family, adrenalin junkies or as a way to relax. There’s also a sandy beach, bars, restaurants and a baby zone.

Located only 1km from CLC Monterey, there’s no reason not to visit!

Loro Parque

Voted number 1 Zoo in Europe by TripAdvisor, Loro Parque was originally conceived as a parrot paradise – hence the name. It has since developed to become a top Tenerife attraction.

Golf

Tenerife offers a range of courses for players of all levels and just a short drive from CLC Sunningdale Village is Golf del Sur for those who have radar-like precision on their shots.

Food & Drink

Canarian cuisine is an important part of the islands’ culture with its mix of seafood and meat dishes. The Canarian appetisers or tapas are known as enyesques. The cheeses of the Canaries, and particularly Tenerife, have been voted some of the world’s best over the years.

A selection of local food and drink includes:

Bienmesabe

‘Tastes good to me’ is a very sweet dessert of almond paste, honey and sugar often served with ice cream.

Brumas de Ayosa

Tenerife’s very own wine, it is available as white, rose, red and sparkling. There is also a sweet dessert wine. Something for all palates.

Gofio

A sweetcorn flour, gofio is added to many foods as well as being made into a dough-like food, pella, that is eaten alongside meals.

Mojo

This sauce is served with many dishes and consists mainly of oil, garlic, pepper, thyme, cumin, coriander and other spices. There are two kinds – rojo (red) served with meat and verde (green)
served with fish. The red mojo can also be spiced up and is known as mojo picón.

Papas arrugadas

Literally translated as wrinkly potatoes, small potatoes are cooked in salt water and served with mojo sauce.

Puchero Canario

A soup-cum-stew, this is rich in meat with chicken, pork and beef combined with chickpeas, sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

Ron Miel

Honey rum is sweet and intense ranging in colour from old gold to dark mahogany. You could find it served with cream and cinnamon on top.

Ropavieja

The translated name does not sound very appetising (old clothes!) but is a tasty dish of chicken and beef mixed with potatoes and chickpeas.

Teisol

A range of award-winning goat cheeses fall under the Teisol company umbrella. Great as an ingredient or on its own with some juicy grapes.

Our Pocket Guide To Tenerife – Your World

The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain. It may only be two hours from the UK, but this balmy holiday spot serves up tropical year-round weather, beautiful beaches, lunar-worthy landscapes and rich countryside all rolled into one – who needs the Caribbean?!

Browse our pocket guide to discover why Tenerife should be on your holiday hit list…   

Where To Stay In Tenerife?

Candelaria Town, Santa Cruz

This subtropical island is peppered with purpose-built resorts in order to accommodate the almost six million tourists that flock here each year. We’ve rounded-up five of the best to help you decide where to drop your beach bag, whether you’re seeking slow-paced sands or superb nightlife.

Playa de las Americas – The largest of Tenerife’s tourist resorts, this coastal spot was purpose built in the 1960s and remains as popular today as it was back then. The resort is best known for its big hotels, lively nightlife and five beautiful beaches – all of which offer a buzzing atmosphere.

Costa Adeje – This sun-kissed resort sits on the south of the island and is one of the best for family holidays. Costa Adeje serves up all-round entertainment, with some of the island’s best beaches, two famous water parks (Siam Park and Aqualand) plus a selection of fantastic restaurants, bars and shops that are easily reached in the resort town centre.

Los Cristianos – Not too far from Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos is a laid-back resort with pleasant beaches and a sophisticated nightlife – better suited to couples holidays and mature tourists. Spend time wandering the picturesque harbour or hop on a ferry to neighbouring La Gomera – a beautiful islet with a verdant hillside village.

Playa de la Arena – For those after a low-key holiday, this small resort situated on the west coast offers visitors a quaint stay on the island. Calm Playa de la Arena is where to head if you want to discover Tenerife’s gorgeous blank sand beaches, hike coastal trails or relax at one of the few hotels that reside here.

Los Gigantes – Another quiet contender is the hilly seaside town of Los Gigantes. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, this compact tourist resort has a selection of family-friendly hotels, a lovely marina, the dark-sand beach of Playa del Duque and a selection of market stalls and boutiques to browse. Its close proximity to livelier neighbour Playa de las Americas means you can speed up the pace of your holiday, as and when you wish.

City Or Beach?

Las Teresitas Beach, Santa Cruz

Tenerife has its fair share of beaches thanks to the island’s expansive coastline, with a mixture of black, shingle and fine golden sands to sink your toes into. Whether you visit the popular resort town beaches, rugged coves or rural national park stretches – there’s a corner of the coast to suit everyone here.

Playa del Duque in Costa Adeje, Troya Beach in Playa de las Americas, Playa Jardin in Puerto de la Cruz and Playa de la Teresitas in Santa Cruz are some of the most popular stretches on the island; while the smaller pockets of Alcala in the town of the same name, El Bullollo in Puerto de la Cruz, and Almáciga Beach in the village of Taganana are lesser-known coves offering serene sands off the beaten track.

If you’d rather swap the sand for a lively city atmosphere, Santa Cruz is the resort to head to first. This popular port city is the capital of the island and houses a mixture of cosmopolitan and colonial buildings, a bustling harbour, interesting museums, an excellent shopping scene and a couple of beaches – what more could you want?

Additionally, there is Playa de Las Americas. A metropolitan hub in the south of Tenerife best known for its high-rise hotels and atmospheric streets brimming with famous clubs, bars and beach parties. This resort attracts a different type of crowd than the island’s sleepier coastal areas, so if you head here expect a faster pace.

Can’t decide between the beach and the bars; have the best of both worlds! 

When To Visit Tenerife

Thanks to its year-round climate, Tenerife boasts beautiful sunshine whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or looking to banish those winter blues. The peak season months between June – September are when temperatures are highest, often soaring into the early 30s. While spring, autumn and winter offer slightly milder climates of around 20°C that are equally pleasant. Travelling in these cooler seasons should be considered if you want to admire the island’s natural beauty on tours and excursions, this would ensure you avoid, well, overheating!

Tenerife Weather

Not only is Tenerife the largest, it’s also the warmest of the Canary Islands – along with its sister isle of Gran Canaria – making it the perfect choice if you want a holiday that’s guaranteed to bring the heat. Like anywhere, the weather will vary slightly based on which part of the island you travel to, for instance the south is warmer and has less clouds than in the north – which is likely to receive most of the very few days of rain Tenerife experiences.

It seems bizarre to imagine that snow can fall on an island situated off the coast of West Africa, however, if you climb to the peak of the famous Mount Teide (situated in Mount Teide National Park), the significant rise in altitude means at certain points throughout the year this area will experience snowfall. Even more peculiar is that you’ll most likely be sunbathing on the beach as it happens!

A guide to the holiday resorts of Tenerife

From lively beach resorts and historic towns to hilltop hideaways and quaint fishing villages, there’s a place to suit everyone on their holidays to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. For a small island there is a huge amount of diversity between the resorts and towns as well as the landscape of mountains, national parks, and coast. 

The resorts of south Tenerife 

The south is where many of the larger and popular beach resorts can be found, yet there are quieter areas squeezed between the more established places. Don’t expect peaceful fishing villages or historic old towns, but think more along the lines of Playa de la Arena, a relatively quiet yet modern resort that’s growing in popularity. A highlight is Pancho Restaurant located next to the resort’s grey-sand beach where you can feast on freshly grilled fish served with spicy mojo sauce. If, however, you like your holidays lively and packed with activities then there are a couple of resorts on the south coast that might appeal more.

Playa de las Americas

The purpose-built resort of Playa de las Americas is undoubtedly the largest and liveliest on the island. If you’re after a beach holiday in Tenerife then this loud and brash resort has some of the best beaches in the south, and there are plenty of water sports available too. It boasts the best hotel, Bahia del Duque, and the most vibrant nightlife going with an infamous strip of bars and clubs as well as heaps of shops and restaurants. 

Los Cristianos

Once a fishing village, Los Cristianos is now a busy seaside town with a bustling harbor and town center packed with shops and restaurants with menus featuring everything from local Canarian cuisine to the obligatory burger and chips. Los Cristianos has managed to retain its charm and is a good all-round resort to rival its Playa de las Americas neighbor. Holiday apartments cover the surrounding hills and its two sandy beaches offer relaxation as well as a whole host of water sports. 

Costa Adeje

Just along the coast you’ll come across the ever-increasing resort of Costa Adeje. Made up of many sub-areas, but referred to as one, it’s the new place in the south to be seen. Find a wealth of swanky restaurants and bars, along with lots of places to spend your money; the area is home to some great shops to grab souvenirs and boutique type items. Costa Adeje is home to some of the newest and finest hotels on the island and it’s where you’ll find the most 5* resorts, such as the popular Costa Adeje Gran Hotel.

Santa Cruz and inland Tenerife

The capital of Tenerife is the bustling harbor town of Santa Cruz, a lively town filled with restaurants, bars, clubs, art galleries, and great shopping at the Plaza de España. Santa Cruz has arguably the best beach on the island, the unspoiled Playa de las Teresitas, a golden sand beach dotted with palm trees.  

For colonial Spanish architecture travel inland to the beautiful Aguero Valley and the town of La Laguna with its traditional houses and stunning religious buildings, while Guimar and Candelaria in the southeast of Tenerife are worth a visit too. 

The scenery of the Mount Teide National Park is sensational and it’s not hard to see why it’s the most visited national park in the whole of Spain. Or get completely off the beaten track and go hiking in the remote and beautiful Anaga Mountains, northeast of Santa Cruz.

North Tenerife holidays 

Less touristy than the south, north Tenerife holidays promise stunning architecture, beautiful scenery, charming towns and villages as well as beaches to rival the best on the island. 

Puerto de la Cruz

The oldest resort on the north coast has in recent years been reinvigorated with cars being banned from a section of Puerto de la Cruz leaving a wide pedestrian promenade. The 17th-century church of Nuestra Senora de la Pena de Francia and other old buildings give the town charm and individuality, while nearby volcanic Mount Teide ensures Puerto de la Cruz has spectacular views. The town is also home to the hugely popular Loro Parque wildlife center.

Garachico

The attractive coastal town of Garachico features volcanic rock pools of differing depths that were formed in 1706 by lava that swamped the town. An open-air saltwater swimming pool can be found next to the rock pools, while the seafront features a museum and some charming restaurants. 

Los Gigantes

A smart coastal resort on the northwest coast, Los Gigantes was named after the Acantilados de la Gigantes, the towering cliffs that overshadow the town. Seafood restaurants and cafés line the town’s marina and boat trips to see whales and dolphins can be taken from the harbor. There’s also a black sand beach and the Los Gigantes Lido, a series of saltwater pools with sun terraces perfect for an afternoon of relaxation.  

La Orotava 

With a beautiful historic center, cobbled streets, unique architecture, and a traditional Canarian atmosphere, La Orotava on Tenerife’s north coast is a hidden gem. There are three volcanic beaches, a botanical garden, and hiking to be had in the Orotava Mountains.

Description

Tenerife is one of those wonderful places that nature generously gave to man. Most of the attractions of the island are of a natural nature, during your vacation you will never have problems with where to go and what to see.

The best sights of Tenerife

One of the most interesting places and the real “heart” of the island is the Teide National Park, which surrounds the volcano of the same name from all sides. This former fire-breathing mountain is the highest in the entire Atlantic Ocean. The highest point is at 3700 meters, so climbing the Teide could be compared to a real ascent. But you don’t have to beat your feet: reliable roads are laid along the slopes, and a comfortable funicular can take you to the very top. Travelers can climb to the very crater of the dormant volcano to be speechless at the magnificent view that opens before them. You can take a lot of photos of both the crater itself and the archipelago surrounding Tenerife.
The whole island is a continuous sea of ​​greenery, which frames landscapes of incredible beauty. There is something futuristic in these landscapes; it is not for nothing that episodes of science fiction films are often filmed here. Among the best places on the island, it is worth highlighting:

  • Cape Teno
  • Benijo beach
  • Masca gorge
  • laurel forest

Today, it is not known for certain who and for what reason built these structures, but you should definitely not miss such an interesting place. We know for sure that each of the pyramids is under a thousand years old. But whether they were a place of worship for the gods of the natives or an ancient observatory – who knows …
Among the modern sights of Tenerife, it is worth highlighting the Auditorio de Tenerife concert hall in the capital of the island, Santa Cruz. The building not only attracts with its modern design and size, but under its arches the local organ, recognized as one of the best in the world, sounds amazing.
Fans of Canarian architecture will enjoy an excursion to the city of Orotava, where a specific holiday is held at the beginning of summer – Carpet Day. At this time, the streets of the city are literally covered with man-made canvases of stones, sand and flowers.
For those who want to get acquainted with the largest inhabitants of the ocean – whales, sea excursions to the “hell walls” of Los Gigantes are of great interest. Incredibly large cliffs hanging over the water stagger the imagination with their size.
Tenerife also has a live attraction – the local carnival, which is not inferior to the Brazilian in scope and fun.

Tenerife for children

Vacationing in Tenerife with children is not only possible, but also necessary. In addition to sunbathing, sea air and the warm sea, kids will be able to get a lot of positive emotions by visiting their own, children’s attractions.
Among the interesting places to visit with children, we recommend to highlight:

  • Loro Parque – an incredible collection of exotic birds, as well as excellent shows with parrots, dolphins, sea lions and killer whales. More penguinarium and shark tunnel
  • Siam Park is the largest water park where both children and adults can ride cool slides and compete with a three-meter wave in the pool

If you have not figured out where to go next, then go Orlov Park, also called Jungle Park. Among the artificial jungle, there are not only eagles, but also curious raccoons and monkeys. There are also predators, but they are strictly controlled by the administration.
For a snack, show your child the Monkey Park, where cheerful inhabitants give an unforgettable performance every day.

Additional Information

Annotation to the book “Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Guide. 2nd Edition” Inman N., Murphy P.:
The guide will introduce you to the blessed Canary Islands, which have been called paradise since time immemorial. They rose from the waves and sea foam during volcanic eruptions, which determined their unique climate and nature, not similar to either European or African. There are always two seasons here: spring and summer. There is always a clear sky, but there is no excessive heat. Here you will find exotic plants and rare animals, landscapes of exceptional beauty, ancient castles that have not lost their former grandeur, and … the most modern and comfortable resorts.

      The capital of Catalonia is the second most populous city in the country after Madrid, and is highly sought after by travelers. Here you can combine beach holidays and standard excursions. There is something to see: the Gothic quarter with Plaza Catalunya and the Cathedral, the Sagrada Familia built according to the Gaudi project, the Picasso Museum, the quarter of street artists and musicians Rambala. 4 km of sandy beaches equipped and municipal.

      Valencia

      The Moors called the city “blessed land”, and that’s what it looks like surrounded by flowering gardens. In the historical center there is the fountain of the Water Tribunal, the Gothic Cathedral, which houses the Holy Grail, the bell tower of Mikalet, from which you can view the city from a bird’s eye view, the Basilica of the Holy Virgin Mary with a miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary – the patroness of Valencia. The Royal Gardens showcases unique specimens of flora, while the fauna is worth heading to the Oceanographic Park.

      Malaga

      Another city that travelers come to who want to combine beach and sightseeing holidays. The beaches here, as in all of Spain, are equipped and municipal. And the Alcazaba Palace, where the ruling Muslim dynasties of Malaga lived, and the Gibralfar fortress, which served to defend the Alcazaba, are offered for inspection. A single architectural ensemble will take a whole day of travel. Malaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, so here you can get acquainted with the works of the artist from different periods of creativity.

      Seville

      This southern city was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Phoenicians, but at different times belonged to the Romans, Arabs and, finally, the Spaniards. This multiculturalism has left its mark. The sights of Seville are the Catholic Cathedral with a bell tower and the Alcazar fortress in the Moorish style with palaces and arches. The historic quarter of Seville is the most extensive in Europe – 3 km by 2 km.

      Madrid

      The capital of Spain is considered one of the most dynamically developing in Europe. Initially, it arose as a Muslim settlement, but then it was captured by Christians. The Royal Palace appeared on the site of the Majirit fortress. The city organically coexists with ancient buildings with signs of megalomania of past eras – monumental buildings, huge cathedrals, giant squares and modern business centers and boutiques. During the day, travelers are waiting for museums, in the evening – restaurants and nightclubs.

      Zaragoza

      The city has been influenced by Roman, Christian, Arab and Jewish cultures. Almost every building in Zaragoza is a monument to a certain era. The city was founded by the Romans in 24 BC, until 380 AD. had the status of a colony. The hallmark of the city is the breathtaking Moorish castle of Aljaferia.

      The most popular seaside resorts in Spain – Barcelona10

      Barcelona is beautiful — the city combines European comfort and the active life of a metropolis, rich infrastructure and cultural magnificence. However, it is impossible not to admit that the crowded central city beach of Barceloneta is objectively not the most suitable place for a family vacation. If the main purpose of your trip is the sea, sun and fresh air, it is better to choose another option. Fortunately, there are several famous Spanish seaside resorts near Barcelona, ​​which experts annually include in the tops of the best beaches in the world. Some of them are within an hour’s reach from the capital of Catalonia, some will have to be reached by plane or ferry, but they are worth it.

      So, where to go from Barcelona to the sea?

      Garraf

      Garraf: choose your hotel

      The popularity of the beach in the small village of Garraf south of Barcelona is due to several factors. Firstly, Costa Garraf is an ideal place for families with children. For many meters, the sea barely reaches the knees of an adult, so even the smallest children can safely indulge in games with the waves (for the same reason, many parents take their children to nearby Castelldefels). Secondly, there are picturesque Güell wine cellars (Cat. Celler Güell), built by the great Gaudi.

      Another point of interest is the huge natural park of Garraf and the Buddhist monastery, which is visited by thousands of monks every year.

      It is important to note that there is not a single store in Garraf, which is successfully used by the owners of coastal cafes. The most popular commodity of the summer is drinking water, and here it is sold at an exorbitant price. Therefore, in order to save money, it is recommended to stock up on provisions in advance or rent a car.

      Garraf is part of the T2 zone, so if you bought a transport pass for the first zone, which covers the whole of Barcelona, ​​then it will not work.

      Sitges

      Choose a hotel in Sitges

      Probably the most frequently asked question “Where to go from Barcelona to the sea?” the locals answer: “Of course, to Sitges.” But this place has one peculiarity. The small town of Sitges, half an hour from Barcelona, ​​is the officially recognized capital of gay tourism in Catalonia. This ambiguous fact does not in the least prevent it from being one of the most attractive beach resorts in the Mediterranean. Those who come here will instantly understand why people of non-traditional preferences with their increased aesthetic sensitivity chose this place. Exquisite architecture, green streets and rich museum collections should be seen by everyone at least once in a lifetime.

      The city beach is divided into zones, many of which are marked with rainbow flags, and there is also a nudist beach. Every year an LGBT parade paints the streets, and in the fall, Sitges hosts an international fantasy film festival that includes a truly terrifying zombie parade.

      How to get there: trains from Sants Station run every 20 minutes. Zone 3 ticket required.

      Salou

      Choose a hotel in Salou

      Salou is one of the most popular seaside resorts near Barcelona, ​​especially popular with Russian families. This has a significant plus: most of the service workers speak Russian. Cafes, restaurants, clubs and shops are open almost around the clock, no siesta.

      In addition to sea and gastronomic delights, one of the main reasons for the pilgrimage of tourists to the local area has always been the giant amusement park Port Aventura (Port Aventura). One of the most visited entertainment centers in Europe celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. More than 40 attractions on 117 hectares of land each season give tons of thrills to children and adults. Tickets with transfers can be purchased here.

      The easiest way to get to Salou is by train from Barcelona’s main train station, Sants.

      Costa Brava

      Lloret de Mar: choose your hotel

      The Costa Brava, 75 kilometers from Barcelona, ​​is equipped with the richest infrastructure. It is curious that this place was one of the first chosen by Russian vacationers. To this day, the prices of tours to the Costa Brava remain among the most affordable compared to other Spanish cities. In the tourist capital of Lloret de Mar, public holidays are held annually, the most unusual of which is the festival of twins. In addition, the city can boast of having a nightclub where guests literally dance on the water: live fish splash under the glass dance floor filled with water. What else to do on the Costa Brava, read in our material.

      The Costa Brava is a mecca for active tourism. From Barcelona you can get here in a group on kayaks. An exciting adventure! Well, if you are not such a sports tourist, then we recommend renting a car to ride around all the coastal towns.

      You can take the standard train from Estació Sants to Blanes and from there take the bus. Or you can immediately take a bus in Barcelona at the Nord bus station: this will allow you to reach almost any city on the Costa Brava without transfers. There is also a tour to the Costa Brava: they will bring, take away, show the best places and even take a boat ride on the sea. As an option for a quick inspection, why not?

      Ibiza, also known as Ibiza

      Choose a hotel in Ibiza

      Ibiza Island or, as is more familiar to the Russian ear, Ibiza is a world-famous Mecca for party-goers. It is convenient to get here from Barcelona by plane, sometimes there are [aviasales: link label: very cheap tickets]. Or by ferry, which on good days will cost only 20 euros.

      It is in Ibiza that the largest club in the world, included in the Guinness Book of Records, is located – the Privilege establishment can accommodate 10,000 people at a time. Holidays on the island are ideal for lovers, newlyweds, cheerful friendly companies. Coming to Ibiza with small children is not the best idea. During the season, which lasts from May to October, the main life on the island takes place at night. In addition to attending noisy parties, it is customary to meet sunsets, admire flowering almond groves and ride horses.

      You may have never even heard of the coast of Galicia, washed by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Bay of Biscay to the north. It is rarely spoken about in conjunction with Barcelona, ​​since it is located on the opposite side of the mainland. But believe me, Galicia strikes with its bright colors and exotic flora. For many years, Galician beaches have consistently ranked among the top ten in the world. Here are the most romantic bays and wild backwaters. Picturesque nature has repeatedly attracted film industry workers — Spanish filmmakers have long chosen local beauty as a location for filming their masterpieces.
