We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Benidorm is essentially constant during January, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on August 6, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 83% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Benidorm.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Benidorm according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Benidorm is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Benidorm and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

Alicante Airport (LEAL, 68%, 29 mi, southwest, 43 ft elevation change)
Valencia Airport (LEVC, 19%, 68 mi, north, 125 ft elevation change)
Ibiza Airport (LEIB, 14%, 84 mi, east, -79 ft elevation change)

5 reasons to visit Tenerife this fall

The Canary Islands are called “paradise” and not only for their incredible nature, blue ocean and sun. It is believed that bohemians come here to take a break from the bustle of the world and, of course, share their “simple human happiness” on Instagram. The Traveling.by editors debunk myths and talk about the advantages of traveling to Tenerife this fall.

Reduced prices for tours

The first and main reason is the availability of the trip. In the Canary Islands you can relax at any time of the year, but most people prefer to take a vacation in the summer. Therefore, after September, there are slightly fewer tourists, and travel companies reduce prices for tours. Why not take the opportunity to relax cheaper? Moreover, in autumn we miss the warm sun so much.

Comfortable weather

The weather in the Canary Islands is almost always good, so there is no such thing as a “velvet season” in Tenerife, or it lasts all year round. The average air temperature in October-November is +25 degrees. It rains a little more often than in summer, but this is not significant. The swimming season on the island never ends. Even in winter, the minimum water temperature does not fall below + 18°C. But autumn is the best time for excursions, walks and sightseeing. And also, if all the stars converge, in the literal sense, you can see a beautiful starfall or look at the night sky through a telescope. The spectacle is unforgettable.

Fruit season

If you are already looking forward to tangerines, persimmons, pomegranates and other “winter” fruits, then in their homeland they are much tastier than in local supermarkets, where they are most often found unripe. In autumn, two seasons meet on the island: when there are still grapes, melons, watermelons, figs, pears and there are already grapefruits. Why not a fruit paradise?

Holidays and festivals

The Spaniards love to celebrate the holidays brightly and sincerely, and nature here helps to make every day a holiday. It is easy to get acquainted with the local folklore: go to one of the Romerias (in our language – City Day).

Lovely 2 hours trip, saw many pilot whales! Ion and Angela are really experienced and friendly.

Very friendly and passionate people. Would recommend!

Very easy booking. Very friendly guide. Clear recommendation!

Hatten einen super Ausflug mit John und Anna. Beide sind mit viel Begeisterung bei der Sache und konnten uns, mit viel Respekt vor den Tieren, Delphine, Wale und Meeresschildkröten zeigen. Nebenbei gab es viele interessante Informationen über die Tiere und falls man selbst im falschen Moment den Auslöser betätigt hat oder lieber genießen als fotografieren wollte, gab es Fotos aller gesichteten Tiere von Anna schon am Abend per Email. Toller Augenblick, als wir mit abgestellten Motor die Wale in einiger Entfernung beobachteten und sie sich dann selbst dem Boot genähert haben und direkt unter uns vorbeischwammen. Vielen Dank hierfür, Ihr macht einen tollen Job!

Increible experiencia. Hemos podido ver delfines, muchisimos calderones, tortuga, pez volador, y un atún saltarín!!
Muy respetuosos con el medio (han recogido toda la basura del mar que hemos encontrado) y los animales, explicaciones muy completas y muy buen rollo!
No lo olvidaremos, mil gracias❤❤❤❤

Really cool experience!

I’m really amazed by the tour, thanks to Angela and John we spent great 2 hours crossing through the waters of the ocean, watching beautiful sea creatures and listening about it. It was an incredible lesson in little group with full respect for the animals. Also, during the tour our guides were collecting the garbage found drifting in the water, that was really impressive how passionate and dedicated they are. I’m really happy we choose this tour, not the commercial ones. I will definitely recommend it!!

Whales and dolphins in Tenerife

The main feature of boat trips in Tenerife is the opportunity to see whales and dolphins up close in their natural habitat. Did you know that Tenerife is the third highest volcanic island on Earth? The Teide volcano rises from the seabed to a height of almost 7 km, and the depth difference between Tenerife and the neighboring island of La Gomera is up to 3 km. Thanks to this, the strait between Tenerife and La Gomera is a rich ecosystem that attracts these marine animals here.

Up to 17 different species of whales and dolphins can be found in the waters of Tenerife. Some species of whales and dolphins permanently live in the waters of South Tenerife: pilot whales or pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins (known from the movie Flipper), white dolphins. During the migration through the waters of Tenerife from March to May, you can see Bryde’s minke whales, fin whales, blue whales and sperm whales, toothed, striped and spotted dolphins. Pilot whales or pilot whales can most often be seen not far from Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes.

Tenerife has strict rules that yachts must follow when approaching whales. It is allowed to approach the whales no closer than 50 meters. However, often the whales themselves come very close to the yacht, which in this case must stand still. Loud music, bathing and feeding animals are prohibited. Whale and dolphin watching in close proximity is only possible from blue flag boats that are licensed for whale and dolphin watching excursions in Tenerife. Therefore, when booking an excursion with whale and dolphin watching, it is necessary to clarify whether the yacht has a “blue” flag.

The yachts operating the Tenerife Whales and Dolphins tours are located in Tenerife’s three main yacht marinas: Marina del Sur in Las Gaietas, Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje and Los Gigantes Marina. Many yachts offer group excursions at individual prices, but it is possible to book the entire yacht.

Today my girlfriend and I had a jetski sea safari. We are both absolutely delighted. They took two jet skis and rushed off to conquer the ocean waves. We managed to see flying fish. Our escort (boat driver) took great pictures (photos cost 20€). Plus, he followed the safari participants very well. He let us know when we had any questions. Thank you very much)

Spain weather December

What’s the weather like in Spain in December?

Spain is a beautiful country to visit, no matter what time of the year it is. Spain weather in December is quite cold at times with even colder nights. However, there’s a good chance you’ll get to enjoy some warmer days during your stay with temperatures reaching up to 14°C.

Geographical influences

Spain’s location in Europe and proximity to the Mediterranean Sea means that most of the region experiences a beautiful climate for most of the year. However, winter can get quite chilly, so it’s probably not a good time if you’re planning a classic beach holiday. If you’re more interested in seeing the sights and soaking up some traditional Spanish culture, it’s the perfect time to visit.

Averages

December is one of the coldest months of the year with an average temperature high of 11°C with lows of 6°C at night. It has one less hour of sunlight than November, but you’ll still get nine hours of beautiful sunshine per day. The amount of rain you see depends on where you visit. For example, Barcelona usually experiences 32mm of rain spread over eight days. However, the overall average rainfall in Spain is around 51mm. Wind speeds can reach up to 5 mph with 73% humidity.

Spain heatwave: Country experiences 40C heat

—

Parts of Spain have experienced a record heatwave for the month of May as temperatures reached 40.3 degrees Celsius (104.5 degrees Fahrenheit) in one city, according to the country’s national weather agency AEMET.

On Sunday afternoon, the weather agency had warnings of high temperatures in place across 17 Spanish regions.

According to Reuters, people in the south of the country “waved fans, glugged water and splashed themselves at fountains” on Saturday as the heatwave descended on the region.

On Friday, the city of Jaén in Andalucía, southern Spain, recorded a temperature of 40.3 degrees Celsius.

In a tweet, the Spanish weather agency said that, in the case of Jaén, temperatures were up to 16 degrees Celsius (28.8 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the average for the time of year.

In the rest of the peninsula temperatures were at least 7 degrees Celsius (12. 6 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the normal average, the agency added.

An AEMET spokesperson, Ruben del Campo, said: “This episode is very unusual for mid-May and could be one of the most intense episodes in the last 20 years.”

Climate change is making record-breaking heatwaves in India and Pakistan 100 times more likely

The early hours of Saturday morning were “extraordinarily warm” for the time of year across much of the center and south of Spain, according to AEMET.

cms.cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_B0EF3F89-CE29-81AB-FD69-EC10A03720BE@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>
In many places, temperatures in the early morning did not drop below 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) – something the weather agency said “is practically unheard of in the peninsula in May.”

AEMET also said that the city of Segovia had experienced its first ever “tropical night” in May, defined as a night where temperatures do not fall below 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Several countries around the world have been experiencing major heatwaves recently, including India and Pakistan, and parts of the United States – such as the drought-stricken plains and Texas, as temperatures hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit this month.

Correction: This story has been updated to correct a conversion from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit of the difference between the average temperature in Spain this month and the normal average for the time of the year.

Typical weather in Spain during the year.

Home – Europe – Spain

What kind of weather can you expect – Spain

Spain’s climate is temperate. You can expect clear and hot summers in the interior, but more moderate and cloudy summers along the coast. Winters are quite often cloudy and cold in the interior, but cloudy and cool along the coast. The northern part of the country has an oceanic climate and snow can be expected in winter. In the southeastern part of the country, the climate is semi-dry. The climate is Mediterranean. In the mountains, you can expect colder weather.

Since Spain has a really huge area, the information below applies mainly to the area around the capital of this country. To see information about other locations, please select one of these areas: Andalusia, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Central Spain, Eastern Spain, Green Spain, Northern Spain, Spanish North Africa.

Let’s see what kind of weather you can expect in the area around the capital and in many other cities. The warmest month here is August, with an average high temperature of 32.1 ℃ (89.78℉). The average minimum temperature this month is 19.2 ℃ (66.56 ℉). The coldest month here is December, with an average high temperature of 10.1 ℃ (50.18 ℉). The average minimum temperature this month is 3.8 ℃ (38.84 ℉). The rainiest month here is May, with an average of 10.4 rainy days. The weakest month here is July, the average number of rainy days is 2.6.

When you travel to certain places in Spain, always consider the height of the place. The highest point here is Pico de Teide (Tenerife) on Canary Islands (3718 m) and the lowest point is Atlantic Ocean (0 m). Thus, in this country there are huge differences in altitude, and therefore they have very different weather. Keep in mind that the temperature is usually reduced by 1.2 – 1.9℃ (2.2 – 3.5 ℉) at 200 m (656 ft), depending on other conditions. (And we should add that in a special state called a thermal inversion, even the temperature can be higher at higher altitudes.)

Monthly weather in Spain | Spain

Spain is an amazing country where it is convenient to relax both in summer and in winter.

Comfortable weather in Spain in 2018 will allow you not to miss a single season.

Tourists love to come to Spain to the seaside and ski resorts, visit exhibitions and festivals, like to go to bullfights and see the sights of such a multifaceted country.

In order to get the most out of visiting Spain, you need to know what time is best to go here, and also to clarify what the weather in Spain will be like in the current year.

Excursion Spain

Spain is so multifaceted that when choosing a tour around the country, you can get very confused. Here, almost every city is unique and has many attractions.

Even complex tours do not solve the problem too much, since a week-long tour of the country is not enough to see all the most interesting things. Therefore, if you do not have clear preferences, you can choose the most popular destinations.

Madrid

Madrid is magnificent at any time, there are almost never sub-zero temperatures here, and even in winter you can stroll slowly along the quiet and calm streets.

But it is better to come here in April-May or October, when the weather is very calm and windless, and the temperature is 19-22 degrees. In the summer months there is a strong heat and gets acquainted with the history and culture of Spain better in other cities.

Ávila

Ávila is a historic center not far from the capital of Spain. It is here that the summer temperature is most convenient for excursions, especially since there is something to be surprised at in this place.

Ávila has many churches and monasteries, as well as palaces where the local rulers lived in ancient times.

This city is beautiful and unusual, it has a rich history, people here honor their culture and traditions. Going to Ávila in June, it is worth taking an umbrella with you, as there is a lot of rain at this time. But already in July, the rains will be very few, and the summer weather in Spain in 2018 will not bring unpleasant surprises.

Seville

Seville is waiting for its guests at any time of the year and tourists come here with pleasure all year round. Regardless of the fluctuations of the weather in Spain from month to month, it is always comfortable in Seville, the average temperature in winter is 11 degrees, and in summer it rarely exceeds 25.

Between October and April, rainfall is common in Seville, but it cannot significantly affect the holiday, as this city has not only magnificent architecture, but also many museums, exhibitions and other cultural treasures that you can admire during rain.

Resorts of Spain

Many tourists know Spain only as a place to relax by the sea.

Among the most popular resorts are:

Valencia

Costa Brava

Alicante

Costa Dorada

Cala Villas

But the most popular place for a beach holiday is Mallorca. There are excellent conditions for recreation here. The largest of the Spanish islands is open to both the royal family and ordinary tourists. Along with high-class villas and expensive hotels, it is very easy to rent a 3-star room here.

Mallorca is a holiday destination all year round, which is why almost every hotel has heated pools that are comfortable to swim in in winter.

There are many interesting places in Mallorca that everyone should visit. It is both a shoe museum and a contemporary art center. There are monasteries and clubs here, tourists are offered to ride horses or take a walk on the sea on a yacht.

There will always be something for tourists on the island, and the weather in Spain in 2018 took care of this. Throughout the year in Mallorca there will be very good conditions for relaxing by the sea.

Ski resorts

Monthly weather in Spain is interesting for those who wish to go to ski resorts. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts are looking forward to the start of the season. In 2016, the first snow is expected at the end of November, at which time the main trails will be open.

Spanish ski resorts have a well-developed infrastructure and excellent conditions for outdoor activities. There are many places for winter entertainment in Spain, one of the most popular is the Sierra Nevada.

Not only experienced skiers come here, but also beginners. There are also slopes for children.

Favorable conditions are expected for the upcoming ski season: early precipitation and stable snow cover. Good winter weather in Spain in 2018 in the resorts will be a great start for a long period of active holidays in the mountains, which our company Tez Tour will help organize.

From relaxing to dancing, Puerto del Carmen vacation rentals put you near a great mix of activities. Spend a day in the sun and sea on 1 of the dazzling beaches. Then don your dancing shoes and hit the nightclubs and disco bars on Puerto’s main strip, Avenida de las Playas. You’ll work up an appetite with all that dancing, so replenish with some hearty roasted papas (potatoes) grown in the rich volcanic soil, or fresh-off-the-boat sea bass from the Old Town fishing harbor. Wash that down with some Canarian wine from 1 of the surrounding vineyards.

Weather

You won’t see much rain in this sunny island of Spain

If you like it hot, Puerto’s your place. This subtropical climate boasts an average temperature of 75 degrees and lots of sun. Summer’s peak season for temperatures and travelers. The hottest months of August and September hop up to the mid 80s, while the coldest month of January sits in the mid 60s. The ocean is quite comfortable for swimming in the summer. It may rain in December or January but you’re talking sprinkles and showers rather than thunderous downpours. If you’re there in the spring, expect to see some daily cloud cover, and maybe even a dust storm.

Natural features

There’s lots to lava in this volcanic landscape

If you do a little exploring, you’ll see why Lanzarote is nicknamed the Island of 1,000 volcanoes. Lunar-like lava fields of cones, craters, and rock formations create cool volcanic geography. Don’t worry, these volcanoes haven’t been active for ages. The center of the island’s got some hills and volcanoes that level out into sandy beaches, some of which will be near your Puerto del Carmen vacation rental. The Canaries are a hot spot for migrating birds, and if you visit the lava tubes, you’re sure to see some of the tiny blind crabs that live here exclusively.

If you’re heading to Lanzarote for the first time then you’ve probably seen a range of accommodation options in two of the most popular regions on the island; Playa Blanca and Puerto Del Carmen and wondering which area is right for you.

If you’re wanting a self-catering holiday then you’ll find a better range of accommodation and restaurants in Puerto Del Carmen. However, if you’re looking to stay in a hotel resort, or go half-board or all-inclusive then you’ll find the prices and availability are better in Playa Blanca.

Since both Puerto Del Carmen and Playa Blanca are within 35 minute’s drive of each other it’s easy to get either a bus or a taxi between the two once you have arrived – Just in case you want to see what the other looks like / feels like should you return to Lanzarote again.

What’s The Difference Between Puerto Del Carmen & Playa Blanca?

Puerto Del Carmen

Puerto Del Carmen is the most popular region in Lanzarote for tourists with 60% of the one million annual visitors to the island staying here.

This region is also somewhere I (Cora) used to go on holiday with my family multiple times a year between the ages of 0 – 15 and as such somewhere, I have incredibly fond memories.

Location

Puerto Del Carmen is located just 5km from Lanzarote Airport which means you can be off the plane and in your apartment in under an hour.

The strip along the front of Puerto Del Carmen boasts several beaches running from the airport all the way along to the start of the Old Town and Marina.

Running adjacent to the beach you’ll find a range of hotels, apartments, restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

There are plenty of things to do in Puerto Del Carmen and given the high volume of tourists and the length of the strip, the fight for your custom is fierce.

This often results in incredibly low prices for holiday essentials such as a pint of beer and a full English breakfast.

Accommodation

The majority of accommodation in Puerto Del Carmen is either apartments or hotels serving only bed & breakfast.

As such the focus of the strip is restaurants and bars, with supermarkets scattered along the backstreets allowing you to pick up essentials for cooking at your apartment.

While there are some all-inclusive resort options here in Puerto Del Carmen you’ll find that they are located on the outskirts of the region in a significantly quieter area up near the airport.

As a result, you’ll find that apartments are cheaper to rent in Puerto Del Carmen than they are in Playa Blanca whereas all-inclusive resorts are more expensive.

Puerto Del Carmen is also incredibly large, and staying in the wrong area can leave you somewhat outside of the action.

In our case, we opt to stay in the heart of it all in apartments around Playa Grande beach. This is one of the largest beaches in Lanzarote, and it’s still just a 15-minute walk into the old town.

Some of our favourite accommodation in this area includes;

Atlantis Las Lomas

Just a couple of minutes’ walk from Puerto Del Carmen’s main strip and the incredibly popular Playa Grande beach you’ll find Atlantis Las Lomas.

This apartment complex offers a range of affordable 1 and 2 bedroom apartments with prices starting from as little as £40 per night.

While this complex is only two-star the facilities here still include six swimming pools and a children’s playground.

However, Atlantis Las Lomas is also situated up a large hill (aptly named Cardiac Hill) and as such may not be suitable for people with mobility issues.

Book Atlantis Las Lomas

Club Oceano

Club Oceano is a relatively small complex of 40 apartments set back off the strip in a quiet location around a 10-minute walk from Playa Grande beach.

The three-star apartments here have recently been modernised and come in one and two-bedroom formats with interconnecting rooms available.

Despite being a small complex there are still two swimming pools (the main pool and a children’s pool) as well as a jacuzzi and pool bar serving a range of drinks and snacks.

Prices here start from £65 per night, however, this place books up quickly given its size and favorability with people who visit Lanzarote regularly so if you decide that Club Oceano is best for your family holiday try to book as far in advance as possible.

Book Club Oceano

Kontiki Beach Resort

The three-star Kontiki Beach Resort is just set back from the main strip & most popular beach in Puerto Del Carmen, Playa Grande.

This complex is made up of modern one-bedroom apartments that start from £100 per night.

While there is no kids club at this resort, you will find the large pool to be incredible (one of the best in Puerto Del Carmen) & the lounge deck to have incredible views out to sea. d

Of course, those incredible views are a result of Kontiki Beaches’ location which is at the top of one of the largest hills in Lanzarote, aptly named cardiac hill.

Book Kontiki Beach Resort

Amenities

Given that Puerto Del Carmen has a higher number of self-catering tourists the amenities in the region to cater to those tourists are significantly higher.

In most cases, you’ll find a major supermarket such as a Spar or HyperDino on every corner, and a range of bars and restaurants for all budgets.

Meanwhile, in the old town, you have the Biosfera Plaza Shopping Centre. This indoor/outdoor complex includes a wide range of well-known brands including Levis and Zara alongside some fantastic family-friendly entertainment such as mini-golf.

Further down into the old town you’ll find the marina and a large open playground for kids. We don’t opt to stay down here given that it’s so far from the beach, however, it makes for the perfect early evening stroll and has some of the best sunset views on the island.

If you’re looking to go snorkelling or scuba diving during your trip to Lanzarote then the majority of people head to Playa China Beach.

This incredibly small beach is nestled between the hustle and bustle of the main Puerto Del Carmen strip and the tranquillity of the old town.

While if you’re looking to go plane spotting the airport is just a 5km stroll along the front.

The pathway is wide and well-paved all along, including a cycle lane which makes it perfect for hiring bikes or renting an electric scooter.

If you’re looking to go on a day trip around the island during your trip to Lanzarote then you’ll find several tourist booths selling tickets, while the nearby attraction of Rancho Texas is popular with those looking for a day out seeing some animals including parrots and dolphins.

Playa Blanca

If you’re looking for a more relaxing atmosphere during your Lanzarote break, then consider staying in the town of Playa Blanca.

Since the region is predominantly made up of large all-inclusive resort complexes, it’s not an area of Lanzarote we experienced until our trip just recently.

Location

Playa Blanca is situated on the southern tip of Lanzarote, roughly a 50-minute drive from the airport.

This town runs all the way from the picturesque Marina Rubicon along the front to the h20 Rubicón Palace roughly 5km away.

The most popular area within Playa Blanca for tourists is around Playa Flamenco beach between Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park and h20 Timanfaya Palace where you’ll find a small number of restaurants and supermarkets.

Accommodation

Unlike Puerto Del Carmen, the majority of accommodation in Playa Blanca is incredible large hotel complexes.

The majority of these hotel complexes offer all-inclusive food and drink options, alongside all the entertainment and amenities you could ever need.

This, in turn, means there are significantly fewer restaurants, bars and shops when compared to Puerto Del Carmen.

Therefore given your reliance on the accommodation for everything from your hotel room, to food, drink and entertainment when staying in Playa Blanca picking the right option is essential.

Some of our favourites in this area include;

h20 Rubicón Palace

h20 Rubicon Palace is a five-star hotel complex located roughly 1km from the nearest beach.

However, don’t let its location put you off since this hotel has everything you could ever need (and more) from a luxury holiday, whether you’re travelling as a family or as a couple.

Book h20 Rubicon Palace

Tui Blue Flamingo Beach

If you’ve decided that location to the beach is key to your Playa Blanca holiday consider staying at the Tui Blue Flamingo beach.

Set back from the most popular beach in Playa Blanca, this resort is ideal for those looking to combine a luxury holiday with a family feel thanks to the range of kid-friendly activities and entertainment available seven days a week.

Book TUI BLUE Flamingo Beach Resort

Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort

Located just outside the marina is the popular Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort.

This large five-star complex offers a range of high-end facilities and amenities for it’s guests including six outdoor swimming pools, a large fitness centre and a spa.

Book Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort

Amenities

The Marina Rubicon is one of the most popular attractions in the region. Located in the north, just past the Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort you’ll find several mainstream stores alongside independent boutiques in an incredibly tranquil setting.

If you’re visiting on Wednesdays or Sundays be sure to check out the market that’s held in the Marina. While it isn’t as good, or as popular as the market in Costa Teguise, it’s still well worth a visit if you’re in the town.

There are also two waterparks in Playa Blanca;

Dino Water Park – Ideal for kids and young families.
Aqualava Water Park – Perfect for families with older kids and teens.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking to explore more of the canaries then Playa Blanca is the perfect jumping-off point with ferries running multiple times a day to the nearby island of Fuerteventura.

The ferries start as early as 8am and run until 8pm and with the journey taking just over 30 minutes, this leaves you with more than enough time to explore the island or even just the town of Corralejo.

What’s The Difference Between Puerto Del Carmen & Playa Blanca?

While Playa Blanca is roughly 20 minutes further away from Lanzarote Airport when compared to Puerto Del Carmen, this isn’t the major factor you’d want to consider when choosing between the two towns.

Instead, it comes down to the type of holiday you’re looking for.

If you’re looking to go out and explore the island if you’re looking to dine at different restaurants each evening and if you’re looking for entertainment and nightlife then Puerto Del Carmen has you covered.

Here you’ll find a range of self-catering apartments alongside a handful of small hotel complexes, and an incredibly long front strip with a range of bars and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes.

However, if you’re happy staying inside your resort and maybe only going for a stroll along the front every day or two then Playa Blanca has you covered.

Here you’ll find a range of luxury resorts offering half-board and all-inclusive packages, kids clubs and evening entertainment. However, the atmosphere outside of the hotel can seem significantly more sleepy.

Abstract

Since the 16th century, at least 13 volcanic eruptions have occurred in the Canary Islands that formed monogenetic cinder cones and lava flow fields: 2 on Lanzarote, 4 on Tenerife, 6 on La Palma, and 1 on the submarine flank of El Hierro. Here we present a comprehensive new dataset of tephra composition for all 13 eruptions, comprising major and trace element data for bulk rocks and matrix glasses, as well as vesicularity and crystallinity measurements. In addition, we compile available volcanological and petrological information for specific eruptions, including estimates of lava flow area and volume. All lapilli samples show a vesicularity of 40-50 vol% and a vesicle-free crystallinity (crystals ≥ 250 µm) of 5-15 vol%. Modal mineralogy varies significantly between samples, typically consisting of olivine ± clinopyroxene ± Fe-Ti oxide ± plagioclase ± amphibole in different proportions. All but 2 tephras have basanite-tephrite bulk rock compositions. Lapilli from vents of the AD 1730-1736 Timanfaya eruption, Lanzarote, largely are basaltic, whereas the AD 1798 Chahorra eruption, Tenerife, produced phonotephrite tephra. These results are in agreement with published bulk lava flow data. Unsurprisingly, glass compositions are more evolved than bulk rocks and MgOglass is weakly positively correlated to MgObulk (MgOglass = 0. 30*MgObulk + 2.11, R2 = 0.54). Both bulk rocks and glasses show strikingly similar multi-element diagram patterns, with strong enrichment relative to the bulk-silicate Earth and marked positive Nb and Ta and negative Pb anomalies — typical for ocean island basalts. Glass/bulk rock elemental ratios reveal systematic differences between samples that relate to their mineralogy; for example, Lanzarote tephras that lack significant clinopyroxene and Fe-Ti oxide crystals have higher Scglass/Scbulk and Vglass/Vbulk than Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro samples that typically contain these minerals. Among all elements, K and P display the greatest average glass/bulk rock enrichment factors (1.41 ± 0.18 and 1.47 ± 0.17, respectively). This work provides an internally consistent framework for the comparison of historical Canary Island eruptions and offers novel insights into the relationships between trace element signatures and the crystal cargo of basaltic magmas.

What should I take on vacation to Tenerife? / Holidays 2022

Once we have accommodation, meals and, above all, a flight booked, the only thing that may wonder us is the question of what to take to Tenerife? It is called the island of eternal spring, so it should not surprise us with its weather aura.

However, before you go, you should know what is best to pack in a travel suitcase.

What to pack for Tenerife

What to bring on a vacation to Tenerife?

What you take with you to Tenerife depends on several factors. First, the contents of the suitcase will vary depending on how you plan to spend your vacation. For example, people who spend their holidays in an active way, should necessarily put in their travel suitcase appropriate sports clothes and shoes.

For trekking or climbing the mountains, a thicker sweatshirt or a light jacket and shoes with hard soles will be useful.

On the other hand, in the higher mountain parts and when traveling to the highest peak of Spain – Pico del Teide (3718 m a. s.l.), ankle boots and warmer clothing will definitely be useful. The more so because of winter snowy conditions.

On the other hand, people arriving to Tenerife for recreation should take swimsuits, light clothing, sandals or flip-flops and sunblock. By the way, see what to pack for the holidays.

That’s enough to spend a holiday in Tenerife in a blissful mood.

The suitcases of party people should not lack club-output clothes and matching, elegant shoes. Instead of packing trekking shoes, water sports enthusiasts can take a tube, fins and a snorkeling mask.

In turn, parents with children can pack a few favorite delicacies for the youngest.

It is known that there are also shops in Tenerife and very well equipped for this, however, toddlers are sometimes used to certain foods, which will be difficult to find exactly the same on the island. Then the presence in the luggage of these few jars for children is most justified.

The second aspect is the place, as well as the date when we go to Tenerife.

It is not surprising that the island is clearly divided into two weather zones – warmer south and slightly colder and wetter north. Depending on which resort we are heading to, we should pack such clothes. For example, if we bought holidays in one of the hotels in Costa Adeje, you probably don’t need to take too many warmer clothes.

In the winter months, just one thin sweater is enough for cooler evenings.

In summer, nothing like that, you don’t have to take it there.

However, when traveling to a town in the north of Tenerife, it rains often even in summer. You can then pack a lightweight rain jacket or don’t bother with this rain at all. Warmer clothes, such as long pants and a long-sleeved sweatshirt will be useful in the colder months. Boots, hats and winter jackets are unlikely to be needed, after all, the average temperature even in the north in winter does not fall below 20 degrees during the day. Only in the evenings it is cooler and then some extra clothing will be useful.

And what it looks like broken down by season …

What to take to Tenerife

What to take to Tenerife in winter (December, January, February)?

Contrary to appearances, winter in Tenerife is very mild, there is no reason to take winter down jackets and boots with you.

All you need is a set of warmer clothing – pants and sweatshirt, or a light jacket.

However, if you plan to climb Pico del Teide, then winter clothing can be useful, because the summit is below freezing temperatures. The truth is also that usually on clear days, whether in December, January or February, you can safely go to the beach to warm up (at least in the south of the island). Since we are already on the topic of beaches, we invite you to familiarize yourself with our guide to the beaches of Tenerife.

Some also try sea bathing, hence it is worth finding a place for a swimsuit in luggage. It is also worth knowing that in the north of Tenerife it can be a bit worse with sunbathing, because it rains more often and strong wind blows. However, you can always go south to look for the sun.

When it comes to footwear, it is worth taking a pair of lightweight shoes and one pair covered, e.g. sneakers. For hiking the latter will certainly work better than e.g. flip-flops. Flip-flops, however, will be useful on the beach, but also in the shower or at the pool.

Despite the winter season, we should also pack a cream with a UV filter in the suitcase. So here even in the winter the sun shines strongly. So going outside in Tenerife you can quickly catch a sunburn. The same applies to the headgear, which is to protect against rays and sunglasses – it is better to take them.

For this you need to pack such obvious things as all necessary documents (ID card or passport), hygiene items, especially a toothbrush and used cosmetics. It is also worth taking at least a minimal set of emergency medications (patches, hydrogen peroxide in gel, analgesics and antipyretics, something for stomach sensations and a sore throat). In addition, we also pack money and payment cards, a camera to capture pleasant moments and a telephone that sometimes serves as an interpreter and sometimes as a navigation tool. Lovers of traditional measures will probably take at least one of the editions of the Tenerife guide, while parents with small children need a comfortable pram (umbrella strollers are the best).

What to take to Tenerife in spring (March, April, May)?

Tenerife spring welcomes you with much better weather. Around the turn of March and April, air temperatures begin to rise. For this reason, we mainly pack comfortable, breathable clothes into the luggage. T-shirts, shorts and thin pajamas. Sandals will be useful, but it is also worth taking full footwear, especially if you plan hiking in the surrounding hills.

If you intend to visit elegant restaurants, you should not miss the right clothes in your luggage – a dress or a shirt with a jacket. In Tenerife, at least one longer thing with a sleeve will be useful, because evenings and nights can be cold. However, during the day, temperatures in April or May will allow you to enjoy the beach and swimming in the ocean. So let’s remember about your swimsuit.

We also pack creams with a UV filter in the suitcase, because the sun in Tenerife in the spring can warm up nicely. A headgear will be useful, especially if you spend half a day outdoors and good sunglasses with UV filters.

Useful documents to travel (ID card or passport) and driving license if you intend to rent a car and explore Tenerife on your own. You can’t forget about money, whether in the form of cash (euros) or payment cards. Similarly with electronic equipment that always retains our travel memories. Cosmetics, medicines and all the things you forget about can be bought in Tenerife, but you should always put something in your luggage. Unless, you obviously need to tighten your seat belt to fit into the hand baggage allowance. Don’t forget about chargers for your phone, laptops or cameras.

What to take to Tenerife in summer (June, July, August)?

Summer is the warmest time in Tenerife. June, and above all July and August is the time when temperatures reach over 28 degrees during the day. It’s really warm, but usually not hot. The surrounding Atlantic island effectively reduces very high temperatures.

In summer, we only pack thin and light clothes into Tenerife luggage: t-shirts, sleeveless shirts, shorts, summer dresses and skirts. It is important that things are not thick. When it comes to footwear, it’s best to bet on flip flops and sandals. Full shoes will only be useful during trekking and climbing Pico del Teide.

A large beach bag will also be useful if you intend to enjoy the local charms. It is obligatory to pack tanning creams or oils, with quite a high UV filter (20, 30 or preferably 50SPF in the first days).

The water in the ocean is heated to the highest value, that’s why swimsuits are most in place then. If you intend to spend time mainly on the beach, then you should even think about two or three sets of swimwear. Plus absolutely a hat, a scarf or a cap on your head. They protect us from sunstroke.

Lovers of admiring the underwater world will also need the right equipment (snorkel, fins and mask), while families with children may think of a set to play in the sand or inflatable accessories. Unless you buy these types of toys on the spot. Pack in a suitcase beach scarves or pareos, which you can wear when going down from the beach. In addition, entertainment such as crosswords, books, inflatable balls and other games can be useful.

In addition, of course, money, documents and a telephone will be useful. You can take a basic set of travel medications (for various popular ailments) and cosmetics that we use every day. The camera will also be a nice addition to our trip. If you plan to travel around the island, a map, whether traditional paper or online, will also be useful.

What to take to Tenerife

What to take to Tenerife in the fall (September, October, November)?

The autumn in Tenerife is quite nice, warm and pleasant. Especially September and October are months in which temperatures are only a degree-two lower than during the holidays, and the ocean is practically just as warm, so you can safely enjoy the beach and bathing.

If you are going to Tenerife this autumn, similarly to the summer period, you need to bring mainly light and airy clothes. T-shirts and shorts will be useful. Evenings and nights are not very cool yet, but we recommend packing real suitcases at least one thin sweater. Especially when the trip is around November.

We pack shoes depending on what we intend to do in Tenerife. While you can explore the island in sandals, hiking trekking on the Masca gorge will be more comfortable with trekking shoes. Flip flops, in turn, will be perfect for the beach and hotel pool.

As with any other time, we also pack creams with a UV filter for luggage. In Tenerife, there is a lot of sunshine throughout the year, even if the sun hides behind the clouds, or kalima comes. It is similar with a head cover to prevent overheating. In autumn, especially in the north of Tenerife, the chance for rainfall increases. That’s why it’s a good idea to pack a lightweight rain jacket in your suitcase.

We also pack documents, money and equipment for capturing holiday moments in the suitcase. Cosmetics and a mini first aid kit will be useful, which is always worth having with you, despite the fact that pharmacies in Tenerife are at every turn. At least in the most popular resorts.

My Complete Packing List – Never Ending Footsteps

I’ve spent more time in Spain than any other country in the world.

I began visiting at a young age, taking regular family holidays across Spain and checking out Mallorca, Tenerife, Valencia, and Barcelona. Once I started travelling, I spent time living in Granda (three months) and Madrid (six weeks), while visiting dozens of other spots, like Girona and Ronda. I’m even going to walk the Camino de Santiago across Spain next month!

In short, I’ve taken probably a dozen trips across Spain and I’ve learned a hell of a lot about how to pack for the country in the process.

Let’s get stuck in.

My Luggage Recommendations for Spain

When it comes to travel in Spain, the amount you’ll bring with you will depend a hell of a lot on the time of year you’ll be visiting, as well as the activities you’ll be doing while you’re there.

In general, you’ll want to bring plenty of warm weather gear with you, as Spain can be bright and sunny even in the depths of winter. If you’re going to be planning in the height of summer, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of clothing to keep you cool, and buckets of sunscreen. Planning on doing a lot of walking? Make sure you have proper walking shoes, a decent backpack, and clothes for every weather condition.

Yes, in case you haven’t realised, the weather in Spain can be hot, hot, hot! And when it’s not hot, it’s still kind of warm.

I’m a huge fan of travelling with a carry-on-sized backpack, as I appreciate the lack of back pain, the added ease of moving through the crowds, and not having to worry about lost luggage. For Spain, I recommend the Osprey Farpoint 40l backpack, and take it on all of my adventures, whether I’m spending two weeks in Japan or six months in the South Pacific. It’s super-comfortable to wear, easy to pack, and has plenty of compartments to help keep your belongings organised. Osprey also offers a lifetime guarantee for all of their backpacks, which makes opting for one a no-brainer.

If you’re not a fan of backpacks, a possible alternative could be the Osprey Sojourn, a combined backpack and suitcase in one. You’ll be able to comfortably wheel your suitcase around the country, then wear it as a backpack when you come across a series of steps or an unpaved street.

What about a day pack?

You’re not going to want to take your main backpack/suitcase out with you while you’re exploring the streets of Madrid or the beaches of Barcelona, so that’s why I recommend bringing a daypack with you on your trip.

Enter this teeny-tiny backpack that packs up to the size of an apple.

Despite its tiny size, this daypack still surprisingly strong, holding a two-litre bottle of water, two SLR cameras, two phones, and a guidebook when I was exploring all over Oceania last year. And it doesn’t look cheap and crinkly, either, as so many packable bags often do. I take this bag on all of my adventures and find it to be the perfect daypack that doesn’t add much weight to my luggage.

Dramatic Ronda, in Andalusia!

Clothing

When it comes to spending time in Spain, you’re probably going to be aiming for an equal amount of cities and beaches. And you’re probably going to be visiting in the warmer months, so you’re going to want to pack light.

Note: I always, always overpack when it comes to tops. I’m 5’1” and tiny, so most of my strap tops ball up to the size of a sock. I always take advantage of this and bring a few options!

What to wear in Spain in summer

Summer in Spain (June – August) is scorching, with maximum temperatures hitting as high as 40 degrees across the country. You’re therefore going to want to pack lots of lightweight, cotton outfits that’ll keep you cool in the heat.

Two strap tops: Spain is hot as hell, so you’re going to want to wear lightweight, thin tops to stay as cool as possible. I pack a couple of spaghetti strap tops for those days where I can’t bear the thought of wearing anything larger.

Three tank tops: For much the same reasons as why I bring strap tops, I pack a handful of tank tops to give me some variety with my clothes.

Three t-shirts: T-shirts are also good for cloudy days or if you feel uncomfortable showing any more skin.

Two dressy tops: Bring a couple of nice tops for your evenings out.

One dress: I like to wear a dress to keep cool in the summer months.

Two bikinis: If you plan on hitting up the Spanish beaches or islands, you’ll want to bring some swimwear with you!

One pair of denim shorts and a pair of bike shorts: I give myself two options, bringing some denim shorts and a pair of longer bike shorts.

One outfit to keep you warm: If you’re going to be visiting over winter or spending time by the sea, pack a warm outfit for any chilly nights. I usually bring a pair of jeans, fleece, and light jacket for any late-night wandering.

Enough underwear for the length of the trip: For me, this is two bras, five pairs of socks, and seven pairs of underwear. If I’m travelling for longer than a week, I’ll either pay to get laundry done or use my travel laundry bar and stain remover to wash my clothes in the sink.

Shoes

Here’s what I took with me on my recent trip to Spain:

Flip-flops: I travel with these tropical-themed Havianas and love how comfortable they are. I use flip-flops for short wanders through the local towns in the evenings and hanging out on beaches.

Walking shoes: I’m absolutely in love with my Merrell Accentor walking shoes and think they’re the best I’ve ever owned. I’ve used these shoes to hike the 120 mile South Downs Way in the U.K. and plan on taking them on the Camino de Santiago with me later this month.

Something for dressing up: I really like taking tennis shoes, like these low-top Converse sneakers in pastel shades to wear for dressing up, especially as they’ll give me a little more grip on the streets than strappy sandals. If you plan on hitting up high-end restaurants and dressing up while you’re in Spain, take something you know you’ll be happy wearing.

Accessories

Sunglasses: Obviously, this is just a summer essential, but I always seem to end up packing sunglasses with me on every trip I take. In Spain, there’s a hell of a lot of sunny days each year, so you’re probably going to be wearing sunglasses, no matter which time of year you visit.

Quick-dry travel towel: This is one of my travel essentials! My Sea to Summit towel in extra large size has been the perfect travel companion for the past eight years. It’s the size of a satsuma, weighs next to nothing, dries within minutes, and lasts for years. I’ve been travelling with the same one for five years now, and I promise it isn’t as gross at it sounds — it looks as good as new!

Dry bag: If you’re going to be hanging out on the beaches, I highly recommend packing a dry bag to take with you. A dry bag has saved me while travelling on so many occasions:

On a kayaking trip from Koh Yao Noi to Koh Nok, a freak wave splashed over me, as well as my camera and phone. Had I not had them in a dry bag, the water damage would have likely destroyed them.

On a ferry ride in Thailand, the boat sprung a leak and began to sink. I was able to put my laptop, camera, hard drive, passport, and money in my dry bag, seal it up, and know that they’d stay safe and dry if the worst were to happen.

I chartered a yacht in Greece and relied heavily on my dry bag while I was there. When mooring in tiny bays, I was able to fill my dry bag with my camera, towel, and sunscreen, jump in the sea, and swim to the nearest empty beach without worrying about keeping my belongings dry.

I also think dry bags are fantastic for solo travellers on beach days. It’s tough going to the beach when you’re travelling alone because you’ll need to bring nothing with you, risk getting robbed while you’re in the ocean, or stay on the sand at all times. If you have a dry bag, you can fill it up with your valuables and take it for a swim with you, rather than leaving them on your towel and hoping nobody will grab them.

I love all things Sea to Summit, and after trying several of their dry bags out, my champion is the Ultra-Sil 8L — it’s durable, thin, lightweight, and has never let me down.

Granada from above on a frosty January morning — yes, it’s still warm and wonderful in winter!

Medications to Pack for Spain

You’ll be able to get most medications in Spain that you can at home, so there’s no real reason to pack a huge first aid kit with you. Still, there are a handful of medicines I find useful to have on hand at all times. This is what my travel first aid kit contains:

Dramamine: I suffer from motion sickness, so always make sure to have some motion-sickness tablets on hand, especially if I’m going to be exploring a country by bus.

Painkillers: There’s nothing worse than having to venture out in an unfamiliar country in search of a pharmacy when you’re dealing with an agonising headache. That’s why I always travel with a dozen painkillers when I travel, usually half a dozen acetaminophen tablets and half a dozen ibuprofen.

Imodium: Unfortunately, travel isn’t always incredible for our stomachs, and travellers’ diarrhoea can sometimes threaten to ruin your vacation, even in a country like Spain. I always keep Imodium on hand for any times when the local food doesn’t agree with me. It’s been a life-saver on days when I’ve needed to get on a train and wouldn’t have otherwise been able to leave the bathroom. I also recommend packing some DripDrop rehydration sachets in case you get felled by food poisoning or sun stroke.

Anti-histamines: I’m a very reactive person, so anti-histamines are a must for me! I always bring half a dozen tablets with me in case I break out in hives or start sneezing all over the country.

Band-aids: You don’t want to get an infection while travelling in Spain, so you’ll want to bring a couple of bandaids and a small tube of antiseptic cream for any cuts or grazes you may get. The last thing you want is for a cut or blister to get infected while travelling.

Essential Travel Technology for Spain

When it comes to travel technology, what you decide to pack will depend on the type of traveller you are. I work as a blogger, so I tend to carry a little more tech than those of you that don’t work on the road. Here’s what’s in the technology section of my backpack:

A smartphone: I travel with an iPhone XS, but there’s no real need to upgrade your phone for your trip to Spain — just take whatever you normally use at home. Ensure your phone is unlocked and pick up a local SIM card once you arrive. If you’re an EU resident, you’ll be able to use your phone as normal.

A camera: My main camera these days is the Sony A7ii with a 28-70mm lens, along with a couple of 32 GB SanDisk SD cards. I’m incredibly happy with the quality of the camera and lens, though, and would highly recommend it if you have the cash and are looking to invest in a mirrorless system. If you’re not into photography, just bring whatever camera you usually use on holiday, or use your smartphone to take photos.

A Kindle Paperwhite: Now this is something I won’t consider travelling without. I’m a read so much when I travel, and a Kindle allows me to power through a travel memoir a day without adding weight to my luggage. I’d also recommend grabbing a Kindle copy of Rick Steve’s Spain — it’s the best-reviewed Spain guidebook, was published in 2019, and is one of only a few you can read digitally. As an added bonus, guidebooks look fantastic on bookshelves — I always buy one for every destination I visit!

A laptop/tablet: Most of you won’t need to bring your laptop with you. If you don’t think you’ll have a use for it, save on weight and space and leave it at home. You’ll probably be fine just using your phone.

Various chargers/adapters: Make sure you bring a travel adapter with you! I’ve tried out so many travel adapters over the years, but the one from Saunorch is easily my favourite. It looks great, works perfectly, and doesn’t fall out of power sockets, like so many others do. You can use it for travel in Spain, no matter which country you hail from. You’ll also want to make sure you pack enough chargers for all of your devices.

Toiletries for a Trip to Spain

There’s nothing out of the ordinary that you’ll need to pack for Spain when it comes to toiletries. If you’ll be rocking the carry-on life, you’ll want to make sure that your liquids are under 100ml, or resolve to buy them when you arrive.

Bamboo toothbrush and toothpaste: I invested in a bamboo toothbrush recently to cut down on my plastic consumption, and I’m obsessed with the offerings from B-Earthly. Their toothbrushes are biodegradable, comfortable to use, great for sensitive teeth, come with a travel case, and have a built-in tongue-cleaner. I combine mine with Crush&Brush toothpaste tablets, which come in zero-waste packaging, and biodegradable dental floss.

A razor: I usually pack one reusable razor for each trip.

Deodorant: I’m a big fan of the Organic Island solid deodorant bar. It’s plastic-free, biodegradable, and works just as well as traditional deodorants. The fact that it’s not a liquid will please all of my fellow carry-on travellers out there!

Sunscreen: If you’ll be visiting Spain during the summer, there’s a definite risk of sunburn — in fact, I got sunburnt in Spain in January! If you’re travelling carry-on, you’ll be best buying some when you arrive — if you’re checking your bag, grab a huge bottle before you leave. Trust me: you’ll get through it.

Solid shampoo and conditioner: I love LUSH’s solid shampoo bars — they leave my hair feeling soft and shiny, are super-lightweight and small, and last me over six months when using them continuously! Because they’re so small, I’d definitely recommend picking up some solid conditioner, too. The cork pots that are sold by LUSH are perfect for storing your bars as you travel.

A small bar of soap: I usually grab a bar of soap from LUSH before a trip, too. I love their products and the fact that they’re packaging-free. A bar of soap will last me for an entire trip and also means I don’t add to my liquid limit with shower gels.

Tangle Teezer: I’ve been traveling with a Tangle Teezer since I first started traveling, and it’s the only hairbrush I’ve found that can get rid of all of all of the knots in my crazy, curly hair.

If you’ve read any other posts on Never Ending Footsteps, you’ll know that I’m a great believer in travelling with travel insurance. I’ve seen far too many Go Fund Me campaigns from destitute backpackers that are unexpectedly stranded in a foreign country after a scooter accident/being attacked/breaking a leg, with no way of getting home or paying for their healthcare. In short, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.

Travel insurance will cover you if your flight is delayed and you miss your connection, if your luggage gets lost and you have to buy replacements, if you unexpectedly get struck down by appendicitis and have to be hospitalised, if your phone gets stolen and you need to get it replaced, or if you discover a family member has died while you’re overseas and now you need to get home immediately. If you fall seriously ill, your insurance will cover the costs to fly you home to receive medical treatment. You can’t afford not to travel with it.

I recommend using World Nomads in Spain. I’ve used them as my travel insurance provider since 2012 and have had nothing but good experiences with them.

What

Not to Pack for a Trip to the Spain
A money belt: There’s no travel item I despise more than a money belt, and I very much recommend leaving yours at home. Why? Because they don’t work! Thieves know what money belts are and they know to look for them. When a friend was mugged while travelling, the first thing the attacker did was lift up her shirt and check for a money belt.

So not are they uncomfortable and weird and make it look like you store your valuables in your underwear, but they don’t even protect you from being robbed.

Instead of travelling with a money belt, I recommend splitting up your money and credit cards before you travel. Keep an emergency €20 in your shoe, put some of your money in your wallet, keep a card in your daypack, and some extra cash in a pocket. You’ll be a lot safer by doing this.

And that’s about it for my Spain packing list! I hope you found this guide useful and have a fantastic trip to the country! 🙂

8 Reasons Why Tenerife Is A World-Class Holiday Destination

Tenerife is a just a hop, skip and a jump away from the less sunny isles of the United Kingdom, or rather a convenient four-and-a-half-hour flight from any UK airport. Alongside its pleasant travel times this delightful destination also possesses a wealth of luxury hotels, a host of incredible experiences and a high standard of natural beauty… and it’s calling out for you come and enjoy! To help convince you, we’ve compiled eight fantastic reasons why you should consider Tenerife as your next European holiday. Spoiler alert, we bet by the time you get to reason three you’ll already be calling our personal travel managers on 0203 816 0985!

1. Boasting an eternal spring climate

Imagine a world where you need not unpack a woolly hat or dust off a winter coat every year for the winter season – Tenerife is just that. This unassuming Spanish isle which sits just off the northwest coast of Africa, on a similar latitude as Florida, actually features one of the best climates in the world.

This is because the island provides mild but consistent weather across all seasons, with temperatures ranging from average lows of 17°C in January to average highs of 24°C in August. Residents here are also thoroughly blessed with a huge 3,000 hours of sunlight per year. A trip to this warm and welcoming isle presents visitors with the opportunity to enjoy spring sunshine at any time of the year. It is not surprising then that Tenerife is wildly accepted as one of the best locations for us Brits to catch some winter sun, without having to head off on a long-haul flight.

2. Offering world-class cuisine

Great food often goes hand in hand with travel, after all, it is one of the main reasons why we delve into new destinations, right? And we’re pleased to share that our favourite Canary island will not let you down, as Tenerife offers visitors a huge range of quality restaurants ready to be sampled. The island showcases a broad spectrum of international foods with modern twists from well-respected and internationally renowned chefs. In fact, this beautiful isle is actually the surprising home to a total of five Michelin-starred restaurants with six Michelin-stars between them, the largest number in all the Canaries. Assessed yearly on the quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavour and the excellence of cooking techniques, a meal at any of these five restaurants is assured to be world-class, so be sure to look them up: Kazan, Nub, El Rincon de Juan Carlos, Kabuki and M.B.

What better way to complement excellent dining other than whetting your whistle with a delicious selection of fine wines? Tenerife’s abundant wine making tradition is thriving and is now home to five designations of origin that have certified quality. The many varieties of wine grown here are currently enjoying great success in several esteemed international competitions, so be sure to sample some home-grown goodness while on your travels.

3. Featuring one of the best waterparks in the world

‘The best waterpark in the world’, feels like an extraordinary title for this small island to hold. This statement is no self-proclaimed accolade either as Siam Park in Tenerife is verified by Trip Advisor as the number one waterpark in the world. Scoring ahead of world-recognised waterpark royalty including the many thrill-seeking splash zones of Florida and the wet n’ wild parks of Dubai, it is clear that this is quite an extraordinary accomplishment. If you haven’t already experienced the slip sliding fun at Siam Park, where have you been? The park has held this title now for seven years consecutively.

The Thai themed park is not to be overlooked as a bit of fun that’s ‘just for kids’ either; here there is something to float everyone’s lilo. The Champagne Club provides a dream like scene where guests can recline on Balinese beds and enjoy some time out while sampling a premium bottle of bubbles. For the more adrenaline hungry amongst you, head towards the Mekong Rapids, The Vulcano or the Tower of Power, where you can slide from heights of 28 metres and reach speeds of up to 80km/h. If you have the kids in tow, they will be thrilled to take on the Sawasdee or splash around on Coco Beach.

4. …And the tallest peak in Spain

A destination’s natural surroundings adds significantly to the personality of a region. On this matter Tenerife is certainly not shy, by showcasing an array of spectacular landscapes including Mount Teide. Standing at 3,718 metres high, this dormant volcano is the tallest peak throughout the whole of Spain and across all the Atlantic Isles. Situated in the midst of Teide National Park, visitors are able to adventure into the mountainous shadow to witness the dramatic terrain with craters and lava formations or take the cable car to the top to experience spectacular views from the summit. Given the ‘otherworldly-ness’ of this region it is no surprise that this National Park is protected as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Tenerife also boasts another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the former capital of the island, San Cristóbal de La Laguna. This is a fantastic place from which to discover more about the history of the island and its fascinating connection with South America. The city is very well conserved and demonstrates the typical colonial-style architecture that was exported to Latin America. Don’t forget also, The Macizo de Anaga UNESCO Biosphere Reserve which is brimming with a diverse array of flora and fauna, located in the north of the island.

5. Here you can walk on Saharan sand

Offering more than 40 miles of beautiful beaches in total, Tenerife boasts lots of popular long bays that are perfect for sandy shoreline walks. While some have been elevated by soft yellow grains of Sahara Desert sand, others maintain their natural dark and ashy appearance created from the island’s volcanic history.

But beaches are just the beginning of the spectacular topography on offer. Tenerife proudly displays everything from ancient forests and jaw-dropping ravines to astonishing volcanic terrain and inspiring coastal cliffs. The isle welcomes adventurers warmly and invites plenty of exploration across its varied and dynamic landscape. On Tenerife you have the chance to walk off the beaten track and see a whole other side to this exhilarating isle – beyond its picturesque shores. With options for all levels of hiking ability, it’s time to dust off those walking shoes, breathe in the fresh air and observe various delightful vistas on either a coastal, volcanic or forestry trail.

6. A popular cetacean spotting destination

Like many far afield or exotic destinations around the world, Tenerife is famed for being a popular whale, dolphin and porpoise spotting area. The all-year warm weather isn’t just a pull to the human race in this part of the world, it is also a beacon to a wealth of sea life creatures, from the smallest beings to the largest mammals. If you have watched any of Attenborough’s The Blue Planet, you will know that where there is plankton, there is diverse and exciting marine life under the waves.

The waters about three miles off the south of the island are particularly recognised as a fantastic habitat for around 21 species of cetacean including a stable colony of approximately 500 pilot whales and 250 bottle nose dolphins. This area of water has also been declared a Hope Spot by the ocean conservation organisation Mission Blue, in order to highlight its value and protect its marine life. Here the opportunity for cetacean spotting presents itself 365 days a year. With the odds in your favour, it is easy to understand why many travellers visit this region purely for the thrill of cruising around the coastline to spot a fin splash out of the water.

7. One of the best stargazing spots in the world

Tenerife continuously surprises left right and centre, but this one really hits the ball out of the court. This beautiful Canary isle is believed to be home to one of the best locations on earth from which to observe the night sky. Teide National Park was declared a Starlight Tourist Destination and Starlight Reserve in 2013, which means a special law is now in place to protect the pristine conditions.

The combined height of the volcano’s peaks, the lack of urban lighting brightening up the night’s sky and the fantastic location of the island’s coordinates on earth, allow observers the chance to witness 83 of the 88 officially recognised constellations. As long as the weather stays as blissful as usual and your view is unobstructed by clouds, you are almost guaranteed fantastic conditions from which to look out for a shooting star – how romantic!

Top 10 Reasons to Visit Tenerife

The Canary Islands are the perfect winter holiday destination to enjoy some quality time with your family, take part in adrenaline-filled activities or relax with a cocktail in hand while soaking up the rays.

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and with its grandeur comes a sizable list of excursions, activities and sights to get your teeth stuck into! No matter what you’re interested in, there’s plenty to keep you busy during your holiday.

But with so much to see and do, what are the best things about this exciting island that you just have to experience?

Golf Courses

Tenerife is home to several golf courses which have been designed by some of the best professionals in the world. These world-class courses aren’t short of facilities either and have the perfect mix of amenities to support players of all levels.

Despite the fantastic courses, one of the biggest pulls to Tenerife’s holes has to be the jaw-dropping views surrounding the luscious greens. Picture yourself perfecting your swing with the mighty Mount Teide in the background.

Though Tenerife has beautiful weather all year round, spring, autumn and winter tend to be the favoured seasons for golf lovers to take advantage of the perfect, ambient temperatures. Some of the favourite courses across the island include Golf Las Americas, Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf and Country Club.

Golf Las Americas is in the heart of Tenerife’s tourist hotspot, Playa de las Américas. The course is nestled amongst majestic woodland and stunning mountains which creates a beautiful setting for a spot of golf.

Golf del Sur is just minutes away from Tenerife airport, and the club boasts three sets of nine holes all of which are unique, making exciting rounds of golf!

Amarilla Golf and Country Club dons a clifftop location with outstanding views of Mount Teide. The course was designed by Donald Steel, who is a former golfer himself and has designed many courses in his time.

Beach Days

If all the excitement of world-class golf courses has you yearning for relaxation, Tenerife isn’t short of beaches to relax on and put your feet up. Thanks to the island’s volcanic origin, many of Tenerife’s beaches have black sands which are a beautiful contrast to many other beaches you see on a sunny holiday.

Playa La Arena is one of the best and most popular black sand beaches in the south of Tenerife. Here you can lounge on the black sandy beach all day with the sound of the waves lapping in the background. Sometimes it’s not deemed safe to paddle in the sea, so make sure to check the life guard’s flags before giving it a go.

Playa La Arena is lined by palm trees and has a fantastic view of La Gomera, and thanks to its popularity, there are many amenities close by such as bars, restaurants and cafes.

Dolphin and Whale Spotting

Tenerife’s waters are just as enticing as land, so take to the waves on a boat or catamaran to get the chance to spot some beautiful sea creatures like whales and dolphins. Dolphins live in the waters close to the southwest coast of Tenerife, and the area is also visited by blue whales and orcas.

This sanctuary is very precious, therefore it is super important that everyone does what they can to protect it. For this reason, boats must be authorised and comply strictly with regulations that guarantee that these stunning animals and their habitat are treated with respect.

According to the Canary Islands Biodiversity Data Bank (BIOTA), there are a total of 32 species of marine mammals living around the Canary Islands. Some of the most common species you will spot during your visit are bottlenose dolphins, sperm whales and pilot whales.

Climbing Mount Teide

One of the most iconic views of Tenerife has to be Mount Teide. Teide is a volcano in Tenerife, and its summit is the highest point in Spain. It is also the highest point above sea level in the Atlantic.

Teide is an active volcano, however its last eruption was in 1909 and seismologists don’t expect it to erupt any time soon. You will definitely need to have your walking shoes at the ready to explore the volcano’s magnitude.

There are plenty of trails which allow tourists to explore the volcano safely, but if climbing isn’t your style, then you can still enjoy the volcano from its base. Make sure you take lots of snaps on your way up, Mount Teide is the world’s third largest volcano so your friends and family will definitely need proof of your trek!

Natural Wonders

Mount Teide is found in Teide National Park, which is in the centre of Tenerife. It is the largest and oldest of the four national parks in the Canary Islands, and is around 18,990 acres.

Teide National Park has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for good reason. The site is a fabulous display of a volcanic system and is a significant site of history. Along with the infamous volcano, there are plenty of things to do in Teide National Park that will truly open your eyes to the natural wonders of Tenerife.

To take in the area in all its glory, we recommend taking a ride in the Teide Cable Cars. From your car you will have a panoramic view of Teide National Park as well as views of the nearby islands of La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma and Gran Canaria on clear days.

Corona Forestal Natural Park is another fantastic outdoor, natural attraction, perfect for those who enjoy hiking and biking amid mountains, valleys and ravines with native wildlife. The nature reserve extends over an area of 46,613 hectares and is mostly a forest area with plenty of pines and vegetation.

The area offers endless opportunities for wildlife spotting and there are plenty of species native to the area, so keep your eyes peeled! Some of the islands’ native and unique species include the Teide blue finch and the Canarian warbler.

Historic Towns

Though the tourist resorts in Tenerife are beautiful and grand, the quaint and historic smaller towns are spectacular in their own right. It is said that some of Tenerife’s best restaurants are hidden in the outskirts of smaller towns, the so-called ‘Guachinches’, so it’s definitely worth the trip.

Candelaria is located on the eastern coast of Tenerife and enjoys very good weather all year round. We recommend you take a walk by the promenade and end by the beautiful Basilica of Candelaria. In the same square, you will find nine big statues of the aboriginal Guanche kings which ruled the different pre-Hispanic kingdoms of Tenerife.

You can drive to the town of Garachico from the northern part of Tenerife or from the Los Gigantes area through a curvy small road that crosses the Teno Massif. There is no main road leading to this town, which makes it less accessible and, therefore, more quiet and special.

Though more bustling than some of the smaller villages, the island’s capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, boasts its fair share of history. Busy city life is paired with a historic quarter bordered by a triangle of streets and squares, lined with fascinating buildings including the Old Civilian Hospital.

Siam Park

Siam Park is made for kids, and we don’t just mean youngsters. This exciting water park has something for all ages – even the big kids who haven’t grown up yet, you know who you are! Siam Park is easily accessible from most of Tenerife’s main resort centres, some even providing public transport to get you there.

In 2020, Siam Park was voted ‘Best Waterpark in the World’ by Tripadvisor reviewers for the sixth year running, how’s that for an accolade?! That title should definitely fill you with hope for a fantastic trip filled with laughter, fun and adrenaline rushes!

The park is Thai-themed throughout and has plenty of rides and attractions whether you’re looking for a hair-raising adventure or relaxing dip.

For true adrenaline junkies, you will love the Tower of Power – a 28m high waterslide that you can reach speeds up to 80km/h. The ride finishes by passing through a huge aquarium full of sharks and rays, how exciting!

Mai Thai is Siam Park’s lazy river, perfect for those who want to kick back, take a break and enjoy the exotic views of the park. The Mai Thai River is a tropical river running through the park with slow and fast sections, and a relaxation area to complete the experience.

Starlight Reserves

The peaks of Tenerife are one of three Starlight Reserves in the Canary Islands so you can imagine how stunning the view is when night falls. For one of the most breathtaking views, head to Narices del Teide viewing point and as the night draws in, the true show begins.

From Teide you can see 83 of the 88 recognised constellations, so there are plenty of organised stargazing tours that congregate here, meaning you can find plenty of experts to help you make the most of your trip.

The Teide Cable Car runs past daylight hours, so for a real spectacle, hop into one of the gondolas and enjoy the beauty of the night sky while suspended above the ground. Tenerife is also home to the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics which has a fantastic learning centre and an eye-opening observatory.

Tour operators also offer special trips which provide a super romantic setting for you and your other half – picture a candle-lit dinner under the night sky with beautiful constellations twinkling above you. If you plan an evening here, you’re sure to win some brownie points!

Cuisine

The Canary Island cuisine is not to be ignored and Tenerife has countless restaurants to enjoy the delights of the island. From small, family run establishments to luxury Michelin star bites, Tenerife has something even the harshest of food critics will love.

When visiting Tenerife, you can enjoy many local delights including mojo, which is a traditional Canarian sauce that comes in two types – red or green. Green mojo often accompanies fish thanks to its blend of parsley and coriander. Mojo rojo (red) uses paprika and is the perfect pairing for meat dishes.

As you would expect, in the many seaside towns of Tenerife, freshly caught fish is a speciality. A typical snack in the Canary Islands is lapas grelhadas – otherwise known as grilled limpets. They are often flavoured with lemon to give them a juicy kick, and have just the right amount of ocean flavour to them.

Loro Parque

Loro Parque is a 13. 5-hectare zoo on the outskirts of Puerto de la Cruz and is home to an extensive list of animal and plant species. The park has lots of activities and entertainment for the whole family, including dolphin shows, a penguin enclosure and even sharks.

The park is famous for its many parrots which you can view and enjoy as you move around Loro Parque. It is also a sanctuary for a wide selection of endangered species from around the world.

The park covers 135,000m2 and there are some great places to eat and drink throughout to keep tummies full and faces smiling. Some of the favourite pit stops are Restaurant Casa Pepe, serving traditional Canarian cuisine, Grill and Bar Patio de Loro, for freshly cooked chicken, steak and kebabs, and Bar Thai, serving sandwiches, donuts and drinks in the ambiance of Thailand.

Tickets to the park are available to purchase online or at the gate, and the park is super easy to find – there’s signs all throughout Puerto de la Cruz!

How to choose hiking shoes

There are only two main requirements for hiking shoes. It should be comfortable and suitable for the conditions of the trip. The best boots are not the most expensive in the store and not the ones that your friend is delighted with, but those that sit comfortably on your foot and allow you to comfortably go through a particular hike. We will choose according to these principles.

By the way, we have prepared an excellent video on choosing shoes from Ekaterina Khrishchataya (guide of the PIK Tour Club)

General rules for choosing shoes

Choose for hiking conditions

First, shoes must be designed for hiking. City boots, running shoes, military boots are a bad option. Hiking shoes are designed to provide comfort and safety on specific terrain that is not found in the city: to protect the foot from tucking, hitting rocks, getting wet, and so on.

Secondly, the shoes must match the conditions of a particular hike. In the summer in the Crimea and in the autumn in the Elbrus region, you need different shoes. For trekking around Mont Blanc and hiking in the Khibiny, you need different shoes. Therefore, the first thing to do before choosing shoes is to find out the conditions of the trip.

Beginners should take shoes “with a margin” – not by size, but by characteristics. Due to lack of experience and poor muscle preparation for mountainous terrain, the legs require better protection. That is, where sneakers are enough for an experienced tourist, it is better for a beginner to take boots. Where light boots are enough for the experienced, the beginner should go for stiffer ones. In addition, if you are going to continue hiking, you should think in advance that these same boots will serve you on further trips. But extremes must also be avoided. Beginners often choose the heaviest mountain boots for their first hike. And if this is not a hike of the fourth category of complexity, where such shoes are really needed, it will be hard and uncomfortable in it.

Trying on different shoes

Take the time to try everything that is offered in the store according to your hiking conditions. Shoes come with a wide and narrow last, for high and low instep – each manufacturer has its own characteristics, and this needs to be understood even in the store. Walk around the store in boots – shoes should not “press a little” and be “a little uncomfortable” – on a hike this will result in complete tin. Do not count on the fact that the shoes are broken – modern shoes either sit on the leg immediately, or do not sit at all.

Take an extra pair of shoes when hiking

These can be light sneakers or sandals, and even rubber slippers. Spare shoes are needed primarily for the camp – to come, take off your shoes and give your feet a rest. You can cross fords in it so as not to wet your main boots, or after a hike, take a walk around the city. Spare shoes are also needed in case something happens to the boots – for example, you accidentally burn them at the stake when you dry them, this also happens. In sneakers or sandals, at least you can walk somewhere.

The author of this article somehow cut her leg on a hike, and the bandaged foot did not fit into the boot, but it fit perfectly into the rubber slippers. In them it was quite possible to walk along the path to the pass, albeit slowly.

When there are spare shoes, the legs in the camp will rest from heavy boots. Source – adventure-journal.com

Boots or sneakers

Beginners often have a question: what is better, boots or sneakers? If you are going on your first trip, be sure to take a list of equipment from the leader. It will say what shoes are needed for a particular hike – and the leader should be trusted, because he has already walked this route and knows what to expect from the trails and weather. But you yourself should understand which hikes are more suitable for boots, and for which sneakers. Let’s figure it out.

When boots are needed

First hikes for beginners with poor fitness, even weekend hikes;

Multi-day hikes with a heavy backpack on bad trails or no trails at all,

Hikes of any length in the off-season or in winter.

Hiking with a heavy pack on your back is a risk of twisting your leg. This risk is especially high for beginners with minimal physical training – muscles and ligaments are not yet prepared for this type of load. That’s what boots are for. They fix the lower leg, the leg is more stable on stones and scree – on such a relief, it is easiest to tuck the ankle. If the terrain is difficult, and you are a beginner, it is worth going with boots even on hikes without a backpack – just take lighter boots. The same is true for hiking in spring and autumn – boots protect against dirt better than sneakers, so they are justified even in one-day outings without backpacks.

Running shoes when enough

Day trips light on easy terrain

Light backpack hikes on prepared trails

Advanced hikers with a light pack

Sneakers suitable for beginner hikers on easy terrain only. For example, one-day walks in the Crimea, the Caucasus or Altai, trekking in the Alps with overnight stays in shelters. Experienced hikers with trained ligaments and muscles can walk in sneakers and longer routes with a backpack, but on good trails. The main principle is that the better the preparation (and the legs, and the tourist himself), the more situations where you can walk in sneakers instead of boots.

Each shoe has its own hiking conditions.

How to choose trekking boots

Trekking boots are divided into three categories:

boots for light trekking (or hiking), will be needed in Georgia and the Elrus region.

boots for medium trekking (classic), for example, needed for the mountainous Crimea and Khibiny.

boots for heavy trekking take Elbrus, Tien Shan and Altai to Belukha.

Light, medium and heavy – this is not only about the weight of the backpack, although there is certainly a connection. The lighter the boot, the lighter the backpack and the terrain should be, and vice versa, the heavier the backpack and the more difficult the terrain, the heavier the boots should be chosen to ensure the safe passage of the route.

Light trekking boots

An example of a lightweight trekking boot. The low-cut collar and flexible outsole provide comfort, while at the same time, the ankle is better protected than in sneakers.

What it is

Light trekking boots can be loosely referred to as “sneakers with ankle support”. These boots usually have a flexible sole, and the upper is made of soft leather or textile. They are soft enough that the foot feels like slippers, but at the same time fixes the ankle – not as hard as in more serious boots, but enough for a simple relief. These boots have many advantages: they are light, they do not need to be broken in – if the block fits, the feet are immediately comfortable. Minus – low wear resistance, especially for models with a large number of parts and seams.

Why

Their purpose is weekend hikes, simple routes on good trails and all hikes that are considered to be non-categorical, with a backpack weight of no more than 15 kg. For example, trekking in Nepal or the Alps, simple hikes in Arkhyz, Crimea, Altai, Svaneti, routes along European hiking trails.

Beginners with poor physical fitness or tourists with a lot of weight need these boots for simpler routes, for example, hiking without a backpack on simple terrain. Experienced hikers choose these boots for longer and more difficult routes – their feet are prepared for mountainous terrain, so excessive stiffness from the shoes is not required.

Medium trekking boots

Medium trekking boots are stiffer, better ankle support and suitable for hiking with a heavy pack.

What it is

A classic hiking boot with a stiffer sole and a higher shaft for good ankle support. The top is usually made of leather or a combination of leather / textile, around the perimeter of a strong rubber edging that protects against cuts on scree.

Why

Hiking with a heavy backpack (up to 20 kg) on unprepared trails, simple hikes in the northern regions with a harsh climate (Kola Peninsula, Scandinavian countries, Kamchatka, Chukotka), sports mountain hikes of initial categories (up to 2-3 grades) . Beginners with initial physical training and overweight hikers should choose these boots for simple hikes with a light backpack.

Heavy trekking boots

Heavy trekking boots are sewn from a single piece of leather. They are stiff and heavy, but the feet are safe on difficult terrain and under a backpack. Photo source – wildernessmastery.com

What it is

Very durable boots with a stiff, rigid sole and rigid ankle support. Usually they are made of a single piece of leather, thanks to which they do not get wet and are very “tenacious”. The disadvantage is a lot of weight, it is unusual and difficult for beginners to walk in such boots. It makes sense to buy such boots in advance and break them in – not only so that they “sit down” on the leg, but also so that the legs get used to heavy shoes. You need to choose such shoes especially carefully – all the inconveniences in them are much worse than in the lungs.

Why

Routes with difficult terrain, harsh conditions and a heavy backpack (25 kg or more). These are categorical mountain hikes, hikes in the off-season and on difficult terrain: snow, ice, scree, kurumnik. The rigid sole allows these boots to be used with soft climbing crampons, and some models have a rear welt for attaching semi-automatic crampons.

These boots are sometimes recommended for beginner hikers for their first sports trips, but this is wrong. It’s already hard for a person in unusual conditions, and also on his feet a load of a kilogram. The exception is overweight tourists, they will not interfere with additional leg protection. For the rest, light or medium boots are enough for simple hikes, and heavy ones are needed for really harsh conditions.

How to choose trekking shoes

Trekking shoes are very different from asphalt running shoes. Even on prepared trails, you can meet stones, tree roots, slippery areas, and so on. All technologies in trekking shoes are designed to protect the foot on terrain. This is not the case in running models, because such dangers simply will not occur on asphalt. So it’s possible to use running shoes for a hike, but it’s not safe.

Trekking shoes are lighter and more comfortable than boots. But they are only suitable for hiking without a backpack or for trained tourists.

This is what a proper trekking shoe should have:

A grippy outsole. Soft rubber and deep tread keeps on wet ground, grass, muddy paths, scree. Asphalt shoes have a smooth and slippery sole.

Toe protection. Hitting your foot on a stone in the mountains is easy. If the toe is soft, like in asphalt sneakers, the pain will be hellish. Special protective pads on the toe soften such blows and keep the fingers intact

Rigid shoe. Protects the foot from twisting when walking on uneven surfaces. Of course, it doesn’t provide the same ankle protection as boots, but it’s still better than a soft asphalt shoe.

Durable materials. Trekking sneakers are not made of mesh, thin fabrics and other materials that will tear on the first snag. Durable textiles, leather, suede – these are the right materials for hiking shoes that will last for many years.

Two categories of shoes are suitable for hiking – for trail running and for trekking. They differ slightly in appearance and functionality.

Trail running shoes

Designed for mountain or off-road running, and therefore suitable for hiking. These are lightweight and flexible shoes that hold well on terrain, protect the foot and allow you to quickly and comfortably move along the route. Naturally, without a backpack or with a light backpack. The downside of these sneakers is the fragility – because of the lightweight materials, they fail faster.

Examples of trail shoes that can be used for hiking

Trekking trainers

Heavier but more durable trainers with fairly stiff soles and durable upper materials. In such sneakers, experienced hikers can walk long routes with a relatively light backpack, and beginners can go on day trips and walk without a backpack.

Examples of trekking shoes

Frequently asked questions when choosing hiking shoes

Will they not slip?

The best grip on slippery surfaces is a soft rubber sole. One of the most famous is the Cotnagrip sole, which Salomon uses in its shoes. Boots and sneakers with such a sole hold perfectly on almost all types of terrain where tenacity is required: on stones, logs, wet ground. They do not hold on snow and ice, but not a single sole is capable of such miracles. The disadvantage of this sole is a consequence of tenacity – soft rubber is quickly erased on the stones. Of course, it will not be erased in one campaign, but it is better not to count on decades of service.

But the famous Vibram itself does not guarantee tenacity. This outsole is known for its durability, but the rubber composition varies from shoe to boot. The same rule applies here: the softer the rubber, the better it holds on wet terrain. Therefore, soft and light shoes will slip less than hard and heavy ones. But in any case, the Vibram sole should be trusted more than unknown manufacturers.

Do they not get wet?

Many people think that if boots have a membrane, they don’t get wet at all. In fact, the membrane does not give a 100% guarantee against getting wet, especially if you are caught in a week of heavy rains. Sooner or later, any shoes that have seams get wet. The fewer seams, the less risk of getting wet.

Solid leather boots will definitely not get wet – only if the water pours through the top. True, if this happens, it will be difficult to dry them on a hike. Shoes made of pieces of textile do not get wet at first, while the membrane is working, and then they get wet anyway. But they dry quickly – a couple of hours under the sun is enough for them to dry completely. It is useful to treat shoes with water-repellent impregnation from time to time – it also reduces the risk of getting wet.

If you cross a river deeper than your lower leg, any shoes will get wet

How to choose shoes in a store

Never buy shoes online. Even if you already have shoes from this company, the new model can be very different in last or size range. Shoes must be measured!

Come to the store in the evening – the foot swells a little in the evening, this will happen regularly during the hike, so it’s better to be ready for it right away.

Try on as many shoes as you can – everyone has a different last and there is sure to be one that will sit exactly on your foot.

Try on shoes with two pairs of socks – your feet should not be cramped if you get cold during the hike and put on another pair of socks.

Check that the toes do not rest on the edge of the toe. There should be about 0.5-1 cm of free space, otherwise you will knock your fingers on the descents.

When in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one – it’s better to put on an extra insole or put on more socks than to suffer in a tight boot.

Don’t make a decision right away. If you like some model, walk around the store, if possible up and down the stairs, to understand how it will be in the mountains.

We recommend paying attention to partner stores. Participants of hikes from Tourklubok PIK have the right to use discounts in these stores.

Unforgettable holidays in Spain with children: useful tips and tricks. Spain in Russian

When planning a vacation with a child, it is very important to approach the choice of a vacation destination responsibly, to find the hotel and beach that suits you the most, to think carefully about everything – from the contents of your suitcase to the entertainment program. In this article we give practical information about holidays in Spain with children.

The first thing to start with is the choice of the coast and a specific recreation area. Much depends on the season of travel and the age of your child.

The most popular resorts are located on the coast of Andalusia, Murcia, Valencia, Catalonia and the Canary Islands. If you are planning a holiday outside of July, August and September, but want to swim in comfort, then the Canary Islands are the best choice. The warmest water is there: in Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma.

For a holiday in the hot season, we recommend the north of Spain, because. in the south, the air temperature is very high during the day, while in Catalonia it is about 30-33 degrees. The beaches of the Costa Brava and Costa Maresme are great for families with children. The sea here warms up from mid-June to mid-September, most of the beaches are sandy with a gentle entrance to the sea. Many of them have children’s clubs and libraries.

All beaches in Spain are municipal, equipped with ramps for descending to the water, showers and toilets. Almost every city beach has a place for bathing wheelchair users. When choosing a vacation spot, read the information about the beach: you can often find nudist and beaches for people with dogs – of course, these are not the best places to relax with children.

When traveling with a child, be sure to take out an insurance policy. The new climate, food, flight can affect the child’s body in different ways. Usually the policy is issued for obtaining a tourist visa.

After you have decided on the coast, go to the choice of a hotel or apartment. What is important in this matter?

If it is a hot season, then you should pay attention to the location of the hotel, its proximity to the sea, as well as the following options:

– pools;

– a playground on the territory of the hotel or not far from it;

– air conditioning (or heating, if it’s not a hot season).

In any season, it is important to have a baby cot in the room, a children’s animator in the hotel, a children’s menu and high chairs.

Packing the suitcase

If you plan to walk a lot (for example, walk around Barcelona), then, of course, it is worth taking a baby stroller. You can buy it on the spot in children’s stores or on the used goods site (“wallapop”). The most common new stroller from the Spanish brand Chicco will cost about 60–70 euros. We also advise you to buy an umbrella for the stroller so that the baby is comfortable in the heat.

Clothing and footwear. We take everything most convenient, from shoes it is necessary to take beach flip-flops or “crocs”, which can be dried quickly if they get wet. For a child, it is better to take pool shoes with anti-slip coating (in Spain you can buy such shoes, for example, in Decathlon stores).

If you are traveling at the beginning or end of the summer season, be sure to pack a set of warm clothes in your suitcase, it can be chilly and windy in the evening.

Take your child a few favorite toys, a small book to keep him busy on the road. It is better to buy toys for beach activities and for swimming on the spot: there are usually many pavilions with beach accessories near the beach, and in almost every city there is a Drim children’s goods store. A set to play in the sand will cost about 6 euros.

Documents. Check the availability of all documents: passports with a visa, birth certificates, medical insurance. If you are not flying with a full family, then you must have a notarized permission to export a child from the second parent. It is better to check the full list of documents with each airline in advance.

First aid kit and medicines

In Spain, there are almost no 24-hour pharmacies, and they can also be closed for siesta and on Sunday. But, as a rule, one of the pharmacies of the city is on duty and is open on the day off. In any case, we recommend that you collect a first aid kit for all occasions. We list the main groups of drugs that are better to take on vacation with a child: antipyretic, antiseptic, anti-burn, for colds (drops in the nose, spray in the throat, drops in the ears, eye drops from conjunctivitis), motion sickness and indigestion, antispasmodics, anti-allergic, skin care products, and a thermometer. The skin of a child requires special attention: when exposed to the sun, sea water, pool water, contact with sand on the beach, various reactions and irritations often occur. Most drugs in Spanish pharmacies are sold by prescription, so if you have proven drugs, it is better to take them with you.

Important points when buying plane tickets

A child under 2 years old can fly free of charge without a separate seat, in the arms of a parent. A free ticket for a child also needs to be registered.

One parent can only take one child in their arms. If one adult is flying with two or more children, then for the rest you need to buy tickets with separate seats.

If you have an infant who needs a bassinet, please inform the airline in advance. The cradle is usually attached in the front rows, so most likely you will be given seats there.

In the cabin, take a change of clothes for the baby, a bib, cookies or something else for a snack, a toy, dry and wet wipes, diapers (calculate their number according to flight hours), a pacifier and a bottle, if necessary, water and juice. The total weight of luggage per child must not exceed 10 kg.

After arrival in Spain, the child may have acclimatization, each transfers it in his own way. Someone sleeps a lot, someone, on the contrary, is awake, the main thing these days is to pay more attention to the health of the baby and not rush to bathe him or go to the beach in the heat.

What you need to take when heading to the beach with a child in Spain

Drinking water and snacks. Not all beaches in Spain have cafes or shops, and not everywhere you can find vendors offering food on the beach.

Wet and dry wipes.

Headdress for yourself and your child.

Sunscreen. Even if you applied it at the hotel, be sure to take it to the beach, in Spain during the summer months the sun is very active. For children, it is best to use protection 50+.

Sun umbrella. You can buy in the store or rent at every city beach. The approximate price, for example, on the Costa Brava is 6 euros per day.

Towels or a blanket to sit comfortably on the sand. You can rent a sunbed. The approximate price is also about 6 euros per day.

Collapsible potty for small children. If your child is still small, but no longer wears a diaper, it is better to buy a collapsible potty with replaceable bags in a children’s store – this is very convenient for the beach. Such pots are available in Spanish Drim stores. Often the toilet is far enough away, and the baby wants to do everything urgently. If you put a child just on the sand, this can cause indignation on the part of people resting nearby (especially those without children). In order to avoid discomfort and conflict situations – a folding potty is a great solution!

The best time for sunbathing with children in Spain is from 8 am to 11 am and then after 4 pm. In the siesta, it is better not to come to the beach, it threatens to get heat stroke and sunburn. At this time, you can arrange a “sleep hour”, draw, play in the room or on the terrace, visit development centers or game rooms.

Children’s goods in stores in Spain

You have to put up with the fact that most shops close for siesta and are closed on Sunday, so it’s best to buy everything you need in advance. The range of children’s goods for the smallest, presented in Spanish stores, is small. As a rule, these are 3-4 brands of diapers and baby food. Cereals, milk formula and purees can also be found in pharmacies. Consider the main brands of children’s products presented in supermarkets, and approximate prices for them.

Vegetable and fruit purees. Please note that the composition and taste of mashed potatoes in Spain is different from what we are used to. Here it is easy to find mashed potatoes with jamon or lasagna for a child from 9months. The composition of fruit purees often includes citrus fruits, because here the orange is the first to be introduced into complementary foods. If you doubt that the child is ready for innovation, then it may be worth taking the usual purees with you. The main types of vegetable baby food that can be found on supermarket shelves are: chicken with vegetables (pollo con verduras), turkey with vegetables (pavo con verduras), fish with vegetables (pescado con verduras a la crema), stewed carrots with rice (zanahorias con arroz), lentils with vegetables (lentejas con verduras), beef with vegetables (ternero con verduras), peas and jamon (guisantes con jamon). Main brands: Hero, Nestle. The price for a jar weighing 235 g is about 1 euro. Fruit purees also cost about 1 euro for 235 g. There are packages with two jars of 190 g – 1.95 euros. Fruit puree and yogurt can be bought in a convenient camping package and taken to the beach with you. The cost of one puree weighing 130 g is about 0.80 euros.

Kashi. Here you will not find buckwheat porridge, and if your baby loves it, then it is better to take it with you. The stores offer a selection of wheat, rice, multi-cereal porridges with the addition of milk, fruits, honey, and biscuits. Main brands: Hero, Nestle. Cost 3.50 – 4.50 per 600g box

Milk formula. The mixture is produced in three types in accordance with the age of the baby: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12 and older. Main brands: Hero, Nestle, Puleva, Blemil, Nutricia. Puleva and Nestle also offer special milk for children in a “tetrapack”, priced at around 1.50 euros per litre. Milk formula brand Nestle costs 10.35 euros, Hero – 8.95.

Pampers. Unfortunately, there are no good Japanese diapers in supermarkets, only local brands are presented. Perhaps the best can be considered Dodot, as well as wet wipes from the same company. There are eco-friendly diapers from Bio Baby. Every major supermarket chain in Spain has its own brand of baby products and cosmetics. Mercadona – Deliplus, Caprabo – Eroski, Lidl – Toujours, Dia – Babysmile. Each brand has its own diapers. If you are unsure whether they will fit your baby, you can buy a small trial pack, for example, at Mercadona, for the price of 1 euro (3 diapers). The cost of diapers depends on the brand, own brands are usually cheaper, Dodot and Huggies are more expensive. For example, Babysmile brand diapers in sizes 3 (4-9kg) in the amount of 72 pieces cost 10 euros; Dodot size 3 (5-10 kg) in the amount of 70 pieces cost 15 euros; Bio Baby size 5 (31 pieces) – 12 euros.

If you plan to swim with your baby in the pool, it is better to buy special diapers for swimming. They usually come in the form of panties and need to be changed after every swim. A package of such diapers, for example, from the Huggies brand, in the amount of 20 pieces in size 3 costs 11 euros.

Special attention should be paid to nutrition for older children, those who already eat themselves. In Europe, the children’s menu in hotels is quite unusual for us; here they will not offer porridge or cottage cheese casserole for breakfast. The entire menu is aimed at Europeans, in many restaurants the children’s menu includes a hamburger, french fries, chips, soda or juice, nuggets, scrambled eggs, beans, sausages, toast with jam. Seafood is present in many dishes, you need to be careful with them, because. this food is potentially allergenic. If you are not sure that your child does not have a seafood allergy, then it is better to exclude them or try a little. We recommend choosing something from the adult menu, let it be pasta, fideos, gazpacho or vegetable salad.

If you buy cow’s milk for a baby in a supermarket, it is better to take it not in a “tetrapack”, but from the refrigerator – it is called “leche fresco de vaca”, “fresh cow’s milk”. This milk is more similar in composition to what we are used to. Cottage cheese is not available in Spanish supermarkets, but there is something similar to curd mass without sugar, called “mato” or “requeson”.

You must always remember about safety on the water and in crowded places, especially if you are vacationing in big cities. Do not leave your child unattended, in crowded places hold the baby by the hand. When swimming in the sea, stay nearby, and if there are strong waves on the sea, it is better to postpone water procedures until more favorable circumstances occur.

received from the silver Holy Cross of the conquistadors (Spanish: Holy Cross – Santa
Cruz), which Alonso Fernandez de Lugo hoisted after landing on the coast
Agnaso at 1494 year. Colloquially, the city is called Santa Cruz, despite the fact that

Auditorio de Tenerife

This futuristic dome is one of the most impressive buildings in the Spanish
architecture. A work of architecture made of concrete and metal is even depicted on
national postage stamps. The opening of the Auditorio was attended by the heir
royal throne of Spain. Inside there are two halls – a symphony and
chamber. The main hall impresses with its size: the stage is 17 meters high,
depth of the orchestra pit – 14. Music lovers will appreciate the effect of “sound around”. small hall
practically copies the “big brother” and differs only in scale. Recently

coast of Tenerife. In fact, they belong to the Teno mountain range, which
itself is the western slope of the Teide volcano. Sheer stone walls in 10
kilometers long and up to 600 meters in height – a truly amazing sight!

hell” and believed that the world ends here. Like many things in Tenerife,
the cliffs of Los Gigantes are the highest in all of Spain.

The southern part became a popular holiday destination much later, in the 80s of the 20th century.

Tenerife got its name from the dormant volcano Teide, which the Guanches called “snow mountain”. Surrounded by extraordinary volcanic landscapes, Tenerife is full of contrasts: prehistoric forests, bays with black sand beaches, picturesque Spanish villages, fertile valleys with tropical crops growing in them, mountain ranges with steep slopes, Canarian cuisine rich in variety and local characteristics, attractions included in List of cultural heritage.

4. “Martian” landscapes of the Teide volcano

The rocks are separated by gorges that descend directly to the ocean. In some of these gorges you can find completely wild beaches and harbors.

The largest in a scattering of seven Canary Islands, the highest in the ocean and popular with tourists, in the heart of the archipelago, it occupies 2057 square meters. km and awaits guests off the coast of Africa, between sister resorts – eastern Gran Canaria and southwestern Gomera.

Volcanic eruptions gave life to the island 12 million years ago, the blond Guanches tribe called it the “snow mountain”, and the two-faced nature (wet blooming north and sun-kissed south) gained fame in ancient Greek myths – the resort is famous as the garden of the Hesperides inhabited by nymphs. Here you will see everything that remains of the legendary Atlantis: the Martian landscape of the black desert at the foot of the highest point in Spain – the Teide volcano, blocks of solidified lava hanging over the ocean, tropical forests and banana valleys.

The most populated and lively island in Spain (904,713
people), for two decades Tenerife has been meeting millions of travelers. The mild climate does not require getting used to, and the speech of expressive residents is a translation, their gestures are so understandable. But everything you need, up to the menu in restaurants, is available in Russian, you will not have a language barrier.

Tenerife is the largest and most famous island of the Canary archipelago: more than 10 million tourists visit it every year. The island, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, has at its center a large mountain with the peak of Teide. The height of the peak is 3718 m, this is the highest point in Spain, you can climb it by funicular. Mount Teide is a dormant volcano that last erupted in 1909. Today, around the crater of the volcano (diameter 48 m), on the slopes of the mountain and at its foot, the Teide National Park is formed.

The climate of Tenerife is humid, rich in vegetation in the north, and dry and sunny, with a stable average daily temperature, in the south, which makes the island a year-round resort.

Districts

Of the seven Canary Islands, most holidaymakers prefer Tenerife – here are the largest tourist centers, the highest level of service and developed infrastructure.

Playa de las Americas

The largest among the southern resorts and the main place of attraction for tourists – Playa de las Americas – the focus of the best hotels and beaches, where guests are caressed by the ocean and the sun warms all year round. Almost all hotels here are new and equipped with the latest technology, and the richest choice of entertainment diversifies your leisure day and night. The resort coast with a length of 6 kilometers is divided into 2 areas – the western Costa Adeje and the eastern Playa de las Americas.

The mountain range protects this area from the northeast winds, thanks to which the southern town is not familiar with the vagaries of nature. Only tens of kilometers separate the south and north, but the climate is different, as if in different countries. The calm ocean and the stability of the beautiful weather delight the heat-loving guests of Las Americas, here is the most interesting choice of excursions in Russian, there are many Russian-speaking staff, and even those who do not speak foreign languages are not in danger of being misunderstood.

Once upon a time, only fishing villages huddled in the overgrown south of milkweed, but in 20 years a tourist city abounding in hotels, restaurants and entertainment was rebuilt from scratch. America’s Beach is named after Columbus’ accomplishments, and the monument at the port of Puerto Colon points towards the United States.

The western part of the city is calm and respectable, the lively center – near the Sol Tenerife hotel – thunders with the basses of discos and clubs, beckoning the resting youth. The crowded east of the resort is full of shops and restaurants, falling asleep closer to midnight, when establishments close and tourists disperse into rooms. There are countless supermarkets on the streets, proudly called supermarkets and offering everything you need for beach activities. However, there are shops with a wide selection at reasonable prices, including a network of outlets under the Mercadona logo.

A pioneer among Las Americas hotels, the four-star Gran Tinerfe was built in 1971; Literally on every corner in the city there are bars and restaurants with international cuisine. True Canarian dishes from freshly caught fish or rabbit are unlikely to be offered here, but we recommend trying juicy ribs with honey opposite the Conquistador Hotel, and good author’s cuisine awaits you in the restaurant of the Jardin Tropical Hotel. In the evenings, clones of Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury sing in pubs and restaurants, shows are held in hotels. However, while away the evenings in the hotel is the lot of pensioners from Germany, as long as flamenco burns with passion, and the temperament of the Spanish soul is revealed on the stage of the Pyramid of Arona.

The main charm of the resort is eight well-equipped sandy beaches, where you will find everything from sun loungers and umbrellas to water rides and cafes. At your service are boat trips and deep sea fishing, catamarans, jet skis, yachts and 2 water parks, as well as spa centers, jousting tournaments, karting, Spanish ballet, acquaintance with exotic nature and much more – the city will not let you get bored. A pedestrian promenade stretches along the entire coast of Las Americas – it is pleasant to walk along it in the evenings, remembering the amazing Tenerife sunsets. The panoramas of Las Americas are wonderfully good.

Los Cristianos

An inexperienced tourist will not notice where the Beach of America ends and the calmer tourist center of the south, Los Cristianos, begins. The resorts have merged into one, and the miniature mountain Chaiofita is a silent landmark of their separation. Located at the foot of the dormant volcano Montaña de Guas, the resort is inferior to its brother in terms of area and range of hotels and entertainment. Only bright fishing boats remind of the past of the once picturesque village, giving the resort a special flavor. The name of the city is historical, with an emphasis on the religion of the inhabitants.

The foundation for tourism in Los Cristianos was laid by reporter Don Benito. Suffering from multiple sclerosis, he moved here in the hope of curbing the disease, and his health began to improve. As an employee of a television company, he opened a village on the ocean coast for Sweden, where nature itself heals from ailments. And soon the Swedish speech sounded in these metas, and the small village was reborn into a climatic resort.

The compact low-rise center is densely built up with modest apartments, narrow streets separate shops, bars, offices. The main hotels lined up in the eastern part of the city, fishing today is more of a form of recreation than fishing, but good fish restaurants are open in the port area. Several bunkers from the times of World War II, created in case of a possible landing of the British – perhaps all the cultural buildings of the city. However, the English “landing” descended on the island, but decades later – with air mattresses and sunburn creams. There are two sandy beaches at the guests’ disposal: Playa de las Vistas and Playa de los Cristianos, a favorite among holidaymakers. The promenade along the pedestrian promenade from the port to the center of Las Americas will take you just over an hour.

With the onset of darkness, far from the noise of nightlife, the resort falls asleep. The younger generation stays here infrequently, while older Europeans have a great time, Los Cristianos will also be comfortable for people with disabilities.

El Medano

In the eastern bay, at the foot of an extinct volcano, there is a resort for windsurfers and lovers of uncrowded beaches. It is always windy in El Medano, and therefore people from all over Europe come here who want to curb the elements. True to its name, the Red Mountain of Montaña Roja turns purple in the rays of the sunset, there is little entertainment and no noise – when the city is shrouded in twilight, life glimmers in a few bars and restaurants. The small neighboring town of Los Abrigos is famous for fish restaurants.

The natural sandy beach attracts fans of a measured rest away from the hustle and bustle and mass tourism. Playa El Medano stretches on the west coast, the winds brought its light sand from African lands. Opposite Montaña Roja stretches the Playa La Tejita beach, beloved by nudists and the local population.

El Cabezo bay has a rocky coast, the wind is more even and the waves are not as steep as in the sandy bay of El Medano, the natural conditions of which are suitable for speed skiing.

According to windsurfers, a bad day in El Medano is comparable to a great day in Hurghada, it is no coincidence that the resort was chosen as the venue for international competitions. Sailing equipment and paraphernalia can be rented, surf centers are located in the vicinity of the Playa Sur and Atlantic Playa hotels. Even if you do not consider yourself an experienced athlete, but are ready to take the first steps, the Russian-speaking instructors of the windsurfing school will help you get trained.

The choice of hotels in the resort is not rich: apartments and simple suites. Reasonable value for money can be found right on the coast at the three-star Medano, although you can also stay in Las Americas: it takes only 10 minutes by car.

Playa Paraiso

Fans of the all inclusive system will enjoy Playa Paraiso – a secluded “Paradise Beach” located west of the tourist center next to the town of Callao Salvaje. Despite the beautiful name, the rocky shore leaves no chance to splash in the ocean, except to sunbathe in a sun lounger by the pool. However, the beaches of Las Americas are about 12 km away, which is only half an hour by bus or 10 minutes by car.

Downtown Playa Paraiso – four economical three-star hotels with ocean views, designed for a low-key audience. You will find more respectable hotels on the periphery – the five-star Roca Nivaria and the 4-star Bahia Principe give guests comfort and silence. “All inclusive” in Paraiso Floral and Bahia Principe, some hotels take guests to the beach and back for free. Restaurants and shops are lined along the highway, clubs and discos are open in the city.

Novice divers can get training, and sightseeing enthusiasts can rent a car and get to the most interesting places of the island south in minutes.

Ten Bel

In the southernmost part of Tenerife, an oasis of peace is hidden – the resort village of Ten Bel on the rocky coast of Costa del Silencio, whose name in translation sounds like “Coast of Silence”.

The harmony of the silence of this place is conducive to secluded relaxation, as if the tourist boom has not touched the atmosphere of the unhurried life of the fishing villages. Located on the east coast near the town of Las Galletas, for half a century now Ten Bel has been attracting connoisseurs of tranquility, tired of the hustle and bustle of tourist centers.

Cafes and small shops and impressive panoramas – perhaps everything you need for a family vacation. The village does not have a beach and luxurious rooms, but it can offer an all inclusive system in inexpensive comfortable hotels, as well as one of the largest seawater pools in Europe and a sandy descent into the ocean.

The most comfortable among the hotels are Parque Don Jose and Maravilla – the aparthotel is built on a ledge near the ocean, and its windows offer amazing landscapes.

Don’t let the isolation of Ten Bel scare you, renting a car will allow you to visit the most interesting corners of the island.

Puerto de la Cruz

The climate of Tenerife determined the southern location of almost all resorts, with the exception of the very first, the founder of island tourism – Puerto de la Cruz.

Conan Doyle’s contemporaries rested in the coolness of the subtropical flora of the northern coast. Unlike the others, this city is not built specifically for tourists, Puerto de la Cruz – the keeper of centuries of history and the place of residence of the islanders, does not resemble the tourist centers of the south either in climate or atmosphere. If the landscapes of the sultry south evoke thoughts of the desert, then the humid north breathes freshness after the rain and is fragrant with the aromas of flowers.

Resort life began here at the end of the 19th century – in obedience to fashion trends, the English aristocracy sailed on beautiful steamers to spend the winter in Tenerife, solemnly made promenades under umbrellas and enjoyed the island, which was pleasant in all respects. After World War II, strings of simpler tourists stretched, Puerto was the leader among the Canary resorts until the 80s, until the delights of the south finally took the palm. The British are adherents of traditions, and to this day they love this place, Russian holidaymakers prefer the south, and yet it’s worth visiting the town at least once.

The choice of hotels is wide – from luxurious five-star hotels to budget ones. The neat streets of the Old Town keep their charm, the violin cries in cozy restaurants. Cuban palm trees adorn the noisy Plaza del Charco, where lovers meet, ladies discuss the latest gossip, and gray-haired seniors play dominoes. It seems that the residents do not care about the numerous holiday-makers, and this is the secret of the city’s modest charm.

In Puerto de la Cruz, you can choose between two beaches – the eastern one Playa Martianez and on the opposite side – the more convenient for swimming Playa Jardin. The coast pleasantly surprises not only with black sand, but also with a marvelous garden of exotic trees. However, the ocean is unkind from the north coast, in the winter months it attacks the island with strong high waves. This minus more than pays for the pretty Lago Martianez – a whole complex of islands made of lava and pools with sea water. Take a walk along the embankment in the evening – music flows here in the light of lanterns, and artists paint portraits, then turn onto Calle Quintana – it will lead you to the historical center. The main treasure of Puerto is Loro Park, beloved by young tourists, with penguins and tame killer whales. No less noteworthy is the botanical garden, laid out in the 17th century at the behest of the Spanish king.

What to see

The village of Maska is lost among the rocks in the thickets of the northwest
, whose picturesque landscapes are the value of mountain settlements. Rural houses can be seen under a cliff of breathtaking height, and an unforgettable panorama of the gorge of the same name opens up. Fifty years ago, only narrow rocky paths connected the Mask with the outside world. And even today, those who want to touch the past of the island overcome the pass along the serpentine of mountains.

The fabulous atmosphere of the Thai kingdom gives guests Siam Park
– it is one of the largest European water parks and is located in Las Americas. In pursuit of a dream, Christoph Kissling traveled to a lot of interesting corners of the world – Thailand, Cambodia, amusement parks in different parts of the world, collecting the best ideas and latest technology for his creation. Outstanding engineers, the architect Rutai, the famous Italian artist Paolo Bonanno took part in the embodiment of a comfortable miracle – together they managed to recreate the unique atmosphere of ancient Siam, a stylish and relaxed atmosphere for relaxation and pleasure.

Siam Park is not the only water park in Playa de las Americas, Aqualand invites kids and thrill seekers
”, in the past “Octopus”. Here you will find both children’s slides and attractions for real kamikazes, and what is nice is the absence of queues on them during the show in the dolphinarium. In Aqualand, you can visit the Dolphin Museum, take a photo against the backdrop of the main symbol – a water tap beating as if out of nowhere, and, enjoying peace, peacefully swim down the Congo River.

For the mysticism of lost civilizations, go to the Pyramids of Güimar
“- an ethnographic park where the ancient tribes of the Guanches erected ceremonial buildings. When and why they appeared is a mystery, it is only known that the mysterious stepped structures are built of volcanic lava stones and are very similar to the pyramids of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Peru.

Romantics, inspired by the legends of King Arthur, fearless knights and valiant tournaments, opened the gates of San Miguel
. The atmosphere of the Middle Ages and battles in the best traditions of the genre, the outcome of which is largely decided by you, open up in the south of Tenerife. With the onset of dusk, passions boil here – 6 desperate knights compete in the art of shooting and riding, and the audience awards the victory in the duel. The architecture of the castle of San Miguel exactly repeats the medieval buildings. It was built specifically for theatrical show and is designed to return guests to a bygone era of valor and nobility.

If your vacation falls in February, do not miss the opportunity to get to the brightest holiday of the island – Tenerife Carnival
. It will surprise you with the scale and colors of the processions. Every corner of the island blooms this month, but traditionally the epicenter of the action is the capital of Santa Cruz. The Roman Empire presented the carnival with a scenario with a change of roles, when nobles and servants, men and women changed clothes and, hiding behind masks, were freed from the rules and foundations.

To create an architectural image and a natural picture of Tenerife, take a walk in the miniature park “Pueblo
Chico
“. A small town in the vicinity of La Orotava contains replicas of the most iconic buildings and landscapes. Thematic zones are recreated with precision to the smallest detail: the modern era and the Guanche era, rural architecture and historical buildings, the lunar landscape and the city of La Laguna, exotic flora and endemic plants. Seeing the best from a distance will make you want to compare the miniatures to reality.

At the dawn of colonization and until the beginning of the 18th century, the northern coast was glorified by the town of Garachico
– the main port of Tenerife, seeing off ships with full holds of wine and meeting galleons with overseas goods. Alas, the Montaña Negra volcano put an end to the prosperity of a wealthy city – lava flows swallowed up the port and most of the island.

The Orotava Valley spreads like an emerald carpet on the northern slopes of the Teide near Puerto de la Cruz
, and in its very heart, among banana plantations, a picturesque town of conquistadors has grown. The best time to be here is June, the Octava del Corpus holiday
when the lanes are strewn with flowers and carpeted with petals, and the central square amazes with fantasy paintings made of colored volcanic sand.

The capital of ancient times, the cultural and spiritual core of the Canary archipelago – San Cristobal de la Laguna
. The palaces, monasteries and churches of these places seemed to have descended from the canvases of a brilliant artist. Museums make a significant contribution to the treasury of the city’s merits: the Museum of the History of Tenerife, the Museum of Science and Space, the Museum of Anthropology. Another of the museums is very interesting Museum of Nature and Man in Santa Cruz. If you are going to visit museums, do not forget to take the Bono Bus magnetic card with you – save half the cost of visits.

In the east of Tenerife, in the vicinity of the capital, the coastal city of Candelaria blooms. He gathers parishioners and carefully preserves the Black Madonna
– a statue of the patroness of the Virgin of Kandelarskaya, revered by the archipelago. Legend has it that at the end of the 14th century, the waves of the ocean washed a sculpture of a woman ashore. She was found by the Guanches, and worshiped in the cave of the king for half a century, and the settlement was called Candelaria, which in translation sounds like a meeting with God.

The burning passion and temperament of the Spanish soul will be opened to you by the ballet Carmen Mota in the concert hall “Pyramid of Arona
“. If earlier a ticket to a ballet brought only boredom, this bright emotional performance will radically change your attitude.

Do you want to know what once glorified Cuba? Come have fun in Los Olivos

Rare places can compete with the richest flora of Tenerife – due to the mild climate, there are excellent conditions for more than a thousand species of flowers, trees and shrubs.

Spectacular flora and the dormant volcano Teide form the landscape of Las Cañadas del Teide National Park

Beaches in Tenerife

Beach lovers can choose from a wide range of sandy and pebbly beaches in various parts of Tenerife, as well as a string of comfortable and equipped beaches on the coast of the southern resort of Playa de las Americas. Many of them have been awarded the European quality mark – the blue flag as a symbol of safety, high level of service and environmental friendliness. Guests of the island can swim and sunbathe in any of the places they like, including on the territory of the most star hotels. Only the service is paid for: straw umbrellas, mattresses and sunbed rental, entrance to showers and toilets, as well as water rides, catamarans and jet skis. The embankments are strewn with all sorts of cafes and restaurants.

The island’s volcanic nature has defined several natural black sand beaches, and the development of tourism has contributed to the appearance of bulk beaches with sand from Africa and from the ocean floor. Artificial beaches give out light sand, and only the winds from the Sahara Desert brought it to the shores of El Medano. Connoisseurs of secluded relaxation will love the wild pebble beaches in the eastern part of Las Americas as an alternative to well-equipped, but crowded sandy shores.

The leading tourist center of the south – Las Americas – was built in the image and likeness of Miami: kilometers of comfortable sandy beaches, protected by stone dams, stretched on a rocky coastline. The calmness of the ocean waters allows you to relax here all year round. A promenade has been created along the coast and lined up with a long chain of hotels, bars, restaurants and shops – in this area every guest will find a place to his liking.

Corte
ingles
» for clothes and shoes – the range of world-famous brands on the island is not rich, but it is easy to find interesting Spanish brands. In addition, the store will delight you with jewelry, perfumes and leather handbags.

The highlight of shopping in Tenerife is high-quality alcohol, cheaper – only for free, even at the airport in Duty Free the price tag is higher than on the island. Buying perfumes and expensive watches here is also much more profitable than in Russia. Near the hotels, there are a lot of outlets with obsessive Indians and seductive prices for electronics, but do not rush here for shopping – the origin of the equipment is dubious, and the guarantee is not valid in Russia. For gadgets, it is better to go to the capital’s stores.

Food and drink

Canarian cuisine is a fusion of Spanish and Mediterranean traditions with the best recipes from Africa and Latin America. The basis is freshness, simplicity and quality of fish, seafood, pork, young lamb and marinated goat meat flavored with juicy vegetables, olives and tropical fruits.

Breakfast in Tenerife starts with coffee and the traditional gofio, fried corn or barley flour mixed with milk. Multifaceted gofio is added to desserts, soups, roasts, ice cream, sauces, porridge is made from it and bread is baked. This product is very rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, it formed the basis of the diet of the ancient Guanches, helped the population survive in the difficult post-war years, and is still included in the daily menu of the Canarians.

The highlight of the local cuisine is Papas Arrugadas “wrinkled potatoes”. Small young potatoes are boiled in their skins until the water has completely evaporated so that the salt settles on the peel. Often served with chicken, mojo sauce, a mixture of spicy and green sauces based on olive oils, gives a unique taste to the side dish. Complements the island menu “old clothes” Ropa Vieja – a combination of beef, chickpeas, potatoes, chicken fillet and roast potaje. Many varieties of Canarian stews, including Puchero Canario, are made from several types of meat, and Vieja, freshly caught boiled wrasse in olive oil, is recognized as a favorite among traditional dishes. Among the spices, saffron is the leader – a frequent guest in the recipes of local dishes.

The simplicity of the Canarian menu pleasantly surprises with bizarre food combinations. The first courses abound with a variety of vegetable soups made from zucchini and watercress, the rich Potaje de berros on pork ribs with beans, corn, caraway and watercress is popular.

At the head of the table – tender boiled fish of various varieties with mojo sauce or flavored with oil, vinegar and pepper. In addition to the exquisite purple-yellow vieja, be sure to try bocanegro, perch, several types of tuna and chicharro. Sea bream, swordfish and sardines are very popular, as are typical island dishes: salted fish in Caldereta mojo sauce, boiled sama with sweet potatoes Sancocho Canario and fried fish with garlic, coriander and Frita con mojo verde vinegar. Sea delicacies will please gourmets with the freshest oysters, mussels, clams, squids, snails, shrimps, knife-fish, cuttlefish and boquerones anchovies.

In the humid tropics, meat dishes are a special treat: grilled pork with Carne De Fiesta marinated peppers and the famous Chuletones bone-in chops. The natives respect goat meat and young lamb, appetizing stew with tomatoes and rabbit meat Conejo al salmorejo, as well as Pucero stew with saffron, beans and chorizo sausage. Vegetarians will appreciate the Potaje Berros and vegetable rice mix with corn, tomatoes and Arros con verduras peppers.

Sauces deserve special attention: green mojo verde with coriander and spicy mojo rojo with pepper. Local sauces are 100% natural, do not contain chemicals and preservatives, the best souvenir for a gourmet is a set of bottles with different types of sauces. It is impossible to get an idea of the cuisine of Tenerife without tasting the rabbit in the Salmorejo marinade.

The Canary Islands are famous for their original Tapas, served before dinner with fine wine or beer in the form of canapés or pinchos with a stick. The range of snacks is the widest: cheeses, cold meats, seafood, hot vegetables.

The wine list is opened by sweet and strong amber malvasia, 33 types of Canary wines come from the volcanic area of Lanzarote – there are no such wine-growing areas in the world anymore, natural disasters have not touched the local vineyards throughout the entire history of the production, which has a beneficial effect on the quality of white and red varieties.

The production of white and dark rum flourishes in the Canary Islands – carefully guarded sugarcane plantations endow the drink not only with excellent taste, but also with medicinal properties. Evaluate the local Daiquiri, Cuba Libre and branded honey Ron Miel – the cost of alcohol in Tenerife shops is more affordable than in Duty Free.

And for dessert, a medley of fresh tropical fruits: papaya, mango, pineapple, avocado, guava, melon and pow pow. Palm honey and juice, delicious flan egg pudding and amazing quesillo cheese, as well as the famous bienmesabe – honey and egg cream with rum, almonds, cinnamon and cream.

You can get acquainted with the original cuisine of Tenerife in family village restaurants that have opened their doors away from the resort routes. In addition to the traditional island menu, you can easily find multinational cuisine in numerous establishments. It has everything from a British pub and fast food chains like Little Italy and McDonald’s to upmarket restaurants. Canarian tipico serves wonderful soups and fish dishes, and the unexpected combinations of Platos combinados are delicious. Establishment levels are graded according to forks: from one to five forks assigned to the best restaurants for the luxury of the interior and assortment. However, many restaurants with the best cuisine can boast only 4 forks, the most accurate indicator of the quality of dishes is the presence of local residents in the hall. The staff is fluent in English, and often in Russian. Tips are usually included in the bill, although you can add 10% for a good time if you feel like it.

You will be treated to delicious meat dishes in restaurants: Juan Pedro’s in Los Menores, Romania at Adeje, which is not far from Las Americas, in Los Arcos, discovered north of Los Cristianos, and also behind the Puerto de la Cruz resort in town of La Montaneta. Once there was an ancient monastery here, and today “El Monasterio” is the best complex of restaurants in Tenerife, where the variety of menus is amazing, they bake real black bread and serve monastery beer. After a hearty lunch, it’s nice to take a walk in a wonderful park and feed the animals. And for Brazilian grilled meat, go to Rodeo, which is not far from Las Americas. We recommend trying seafood in the fishing villages of Los Abrigos and La Caleta, as well as in the Los Cristianos restaurant – “El Cine”, the chicken is well cooked in the provincial restaurants of Adeje – “Oasis” and “Damaray”.

Pleasant service, atmosphere and sophistication of Spanish cuisine will meet you in the family “Meson Castellano” – suckling pig, fresh fish, Spanish wines … The original design of meat dishes according to Canarian recipes invites “Molino Blanco” in Adeje, everything is thought out to the smallest detail in a spirit that has preserved Castilla “El Torito”, and “El Duende” is famous for its wine cellar and snails in green pepper. To enjoy a meal in the walls of a beautiful house, open to guests in the historic site of Puerto de la Cruz, to taste delicious international dishes: swordfish straight from the fire, spicy peppers, king prawns and the best Canarian wines, invites “Casa Regulo”. And delicious pies, seafood and any of two hundred wines will be served on the terrace overlooking the ocean at Casa Pancho.

It is not necessary to leave a tip, but it is a sign of good manners, but too large an equivalent of gratitude is mauvais ton. To encourage the waiter for service, it is enough to add 10% to the bill amount, while the money is distributed to the entire staff of the establishment.

Communication

On the streets of every city you can easily find Telefonica blue-green payphones, the cost of a five-minute call to Russia is about 1 euro. International communication services are provided by any Internet cafe at a rate of 12 – 25 cents per minute, payment by meter is made at the box office. It is possible to call from a hotel room by paying the bills on the day of departure at the reception, but this is the most expensive type of communication. It is cheaper to purchase a SIM card from a Tenerife mobile operator – from 25 euros, taking into account the balance of 15 euros, tariffs – about 1.5 euros per minute of conversation with a Russian subscriber. The SIM card is replenished at the offices of the mobile operator, at gas stations, at the post office, in electronics stores and through ATMs.

Calls to Russia to fixed numbers
:

007 or +7 (this is the code of Russia) + city code + landline subscriber number

Calls to Russia to mobile numbers:

007 or +7 + subscriber’s mobile number without the eight.

Computers with Internet connection are installed in almost all hotels, the cost of services is 6-8 euros per hour. Several times cheaper access to the World Wide Web will cost in slot machine halls. You will find Wi-Fi in the reception area of almost any hotel, free – in H10 hotels and McDonald’s.

Safety

Peace and prosperity reign in Tenerife, the standard of living of friendly Spaniards is quite high, and there are simply no places and quarters dangerous for tourists on the island. Travel at your pleasure by car or bus, walk safely under the moon, but do not neglect simple precautions.

Keep valuables, bags, wallets, equipment with you, do not leave them unattended on a sun lounger or in a car. Do not be too lazy to hide the bags in the trunk – if the thieves break the glass, the insurance is powerless. Passports, money, jewelry, tickets and other documents and valuables should be kept in a safe and not carried to the beach with you – it is unlikely that on the island you will be asked for a passport for verification, and a driver’s license is enough to pay for purchases with a plastic card. Wallets and large bills have no place in the back pockets of your trousers.

We strongly advise against paying with bank cards in retail outlets opened by Indians, and these are almost all electronics stores in Las Americas. And don’t rush to buy goods from them for cash: most likely, it will be of poor quality and of dubious origin.

Avoid obsessive distributors of free lotteries.

Try not to burn yourself and beware of sunstroke, the best time for a beach holiday is before 13.00 and after 16.00. Hats, protective creams, glasses and umbrellas to help you – start with cosmetics with a high degree of protection, reducing to SPF 15 as you tan. Tanning oil is suitable for dark skin.

It is safer to keep a distance from living creatures in the water, catching crabs on slippery cobblestones is not a good idea. Sea urchins live on the bottom of the ocean and rocks, if you are still unlucky to step on one of them, treat the wound with fresh lemon juice. The fruit is found in any coastal bar, will soften the pain, and the needles will come out less painfully. The remains of the needles are removed with tweezers, the doctor will prescribe a special ointment from the pharmacy.

If you have any difficulties, except for car rental, please contact the host.

For medical assistance, call the numbers listed on your health insurance policy. You are obliged to consult, if necessary, send a specialist to you or arrange hospitalization. The cost of calls, treatment and transportation is reimbursed by the insurance company. However, if serious treatment is not required, you pay for the doctor’s services yourself, and after returning home, you present an invoice from the pharmacy and for the services of the doctor of the insurance company. The presence of a medical policy is not a whim of the embassy, but a guarantee of receiving expensive medical care in Spain.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of the capitals of the Canary archipelago, the main port city of the province of the same name. Until the 16th century, the town was known to history as a small harbor village of La Laguna. The favorable geographical location has made the city an important port of the Canary Islands.

In 1723, Santa Cruz receives the status of the administrative center of Tenerife, a hundred years later it becomes the main city of the archipelago.
Economic development reached a peak after the establishment of the Spaniards here, the construction of trade routes through the island. Foreign countries encroached on the wealth of Tenerife, victories over whose troops are honored by the locals.

The successful conduct of military operations, the development of trade, the enrichment of the port town filled the city with sights that attract tourists and delight the population of the island.

The limited time spent on the island forces vacationers to reduce the list of places to visit to the most basic ones. For comfort when exploring Santa Cruz, it is important to plan ahead for getting around the city.

Tourists will be interested in visiting the following locations of the capital:

Architectural objects and monuments of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Plaza de España is called the property and center of the city’s historical monuments. Its size is 5.026 square meters. It was built on the territory of the former castle of San Cristobal. In history, the building served as a bastion, a fortress to protect against attacks by sea pirates. The remains of the castle are stored in an underground gallery. The area is equipped according to the project of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.

The architects were the initiators of moving the fortress underground, greening the space with three hundred species of plants. On the Plaza de España there is a monument to the victims of the Civil War of 1936-1939. Escames Garcia is considered the author of the idea of erecting the monument. The structure is a high tower in the form of a cross.

An elevator is built inside, and those who wish are lifted up to look at the square from a bird’s eye view. Three sculptures are installed near the monument: a mother with a murdered son, an angel and a naked knight. The inscription on the monument reads: “Tenerife in honor of those who gave their lives for Spain.” At the base of the monument is the entrance to the chapel underground.

There is an imposing fountain in the middle of the square. The jets are illuminated by garlands with light bulbs-drops.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife has the most famous attraction – Plaza de España.

In memory of the indigenous population of the island, the Spaniards erected a series of monuments along the Candelaria embankment. Monuments to the Guanches are eight sculptures of tall, majestic warriors on pedestals in the form of stone fragments. Once the strongest people was defeated, exterminated, partially driven into slavery by the conquerors of the Canary archipelago.

It is believed that today there are no descendants of the Guanches left in the world. In 1936, the opening of the monument to the Spanish sculptor Juan de Avalos took place. The Fallen Angel monument depicts a man piercing the back of a flying angel with a cross-shaped sword.

The sculpture is dedicated to the victory of Franco’s army in the Civil War, the establishment of the dictatorship of the general. The city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the attraction stands, became the starting point of the military rebellion.

The exterior of the building is decorated in the Moorish style, the interior decoration corresponds to the classical canons of the Catholic Church.

In 1902, the first Masonic Temple was erected on the island of Tenerife by order of the Añas Masonic Lodge.

The architect Manuel de Camar built the building in the style of Egyptian buildings. The mysterious appearance of the church is created by symbols, eagles, sphinxes. Under the roof of the temple, the Radiant Delta is visible – an eye with rays emanating from it. In the center of the façade are two tall columns. Two doors symmetrical to each other lead inside: the first opens the lobby, the second – the meeting room.

Districts

Of the seven Canary Islands, most holidaymakers prefer Tenerife – here are the largest tourist centers, the highest level of service and developed infrastructure.

Playa de las Americas

The largest among the southern resorts and the main place of attraction for tourists – Playa de las Americas – the focus of the best hotels and beaches, where guests are caressed by the ocean and warmed by the sun all year round. Almost all hotels here are new and equipped with the latest technology, and the richest choice of entertainment diversifies your leisure day and night. The resort coast with a length of 6 kilometers is divided into 2 areas – the western Costa Adeje and the eastern Playa de las Americas.

The mountain range protects this area from the northeast winds, thanks to which the southern town is not familiar with the vagaries of nature. Only tens of kilometers separate the south and north, but the climate is different, as if in different countries. The calm ocean and the stability of the beautiful weather delight the heat-loving guests of Las Americas, here is the most interesting choice of excursions in Russian, there are many Russian-speaking staff, and even those who do not speak foreign languages are not in danger of being misunderstood.

Once upon a time, only fishermen’s settlements huddled in the overgrown south of milkweed, but in 20 years a tourist city abounding with hotels, restaurants and entertainment has been rebuilt from scratch. America’s Beach is named after Columbus’ accomplishments, and the monument at the port of Puerto Colon points towards the United States.

The western part of the city is calm and respectable, the lively center – near the Sol Tenerife hotel – thunders with the basses of discos and clubs, beckoning the resting youth. The crowded east of the resort is full of shops and restaurants, falling asleep closer to midnight, when establishments close and tourists disperse into rooms. There are countless supermarkets on the streets, proudly called supermarkets and offering everything you need for beach activities. However, there are shops with a wide selection at reasonable prices, including a network of outlets under the Mercadona logo.

A pioneer among hotels in Las Americas, the four-star Gran Tinerfe was built in 1971; Literally on every corner in the city there are bars and restaurants with international cuisine. True Canarian dishes from freshly caught fish or rabbit are unlikely to be offered here, but we recommend trying juicy ribs with honey opposite the Conquistador Hotel, and good author’s cuisine awaits you in the restaurant of the Jardin Tropical Hotel. In the evenings, clones of Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury sing in pubs and restaurants, shows are held in hotels. However, while away the evenings in the hotel is the lot of pensioners from Germany, as long as flamenco burns with passion, and the temperament of the Spanish soul is revealed on the stage of the Pyramid of Arona.

The main charm of the resort is eight well-equipped sandy beaches, where you will find everything from sun loungers and umbrellas to water rides and cafes. At your service are boat trips and deep sea fishing, catamarans, jet skis, yachts and 2 water parks, as well as spa centers, jousting tournaments, karting, Spanish ballet, acquaintance with exotic nature and much more – the city will not let you get bored. A pedestrian promenade stretches along the entire coast of Las Americas – it is pleasant to walk along it in the evenings, remembering the amazing Tenerife sunsets. The panoramas of Las Americas are wonderfully good.

Los Cristianos

The inexperienced tourist will not notice where America Beach ends and the calmer tourist center of the south, Los Cristianos, begins. The resorts have merged into one, and the miniature mountain Chaiofita is a silent landmark of their separation. Located at the foot of the dormant volcano Montaña de Guas, the resort is inferior to its brother in terms of area and range of hotels and entertainment. Only bright fishing boats remind of the past of the once picturesque village, giving the resort a special flavor. The name of the city is historical, with an emphasis on the religion of the inhabitants.

The foundation for tourism in Los Cristianos was laid by reporter Don Benito. Suffering from multiple sclerosis, he moved here in the hope of curbing the disease, and his health began to improve. As an employee of a television company, he opened a village on the ocean coast for Sweden, where nature itself heals from ailments. And soon the Swedish speech sounded in these metas, and the small village was reborn into a climatic resort.

Compact low-rise center densely built up with modest apartments, narrow streets separate shops, bars, offices. The main hotels lined up in the eastern part of the city, fishing today is more of a form of recreation than fishing, but good fish restaurants are open in the port area. Several bunkers from the times of World War II, created in case of a possible landing of the British – perhaps all the cultural buildings of the city. However, the English “landing” descended on the island, but decades later – with air mattresses and sunburn creams. There are two sandy beaches at the guests’ disposal: Playa de las Vistas and Playa de los Cristianos, a favorite among holidaymakers. The promenade along the pedestrian promenade from the port to the center of Las Americas will take you just over an hour.

At nightfall, the resort, far from the noise of nightlife, falls asleep. The younger generation stays here infrequently, while older Europeans have a great time, Los Cristianos will also be comfortable for people with disabilities.

El Medano

In the eastern bay, at the foot of an extinct volcano, there is a resort for windsurfers and lovers of uncrowded beaches. It is always windy in El Medano, and therefore people from all over Europe come here who want to curb the elements. True to its name, the Red Mountain of Montaña Roja turns purple in the rays of the sunset, there is little entertainment and no noise – when the city is shrouded in twilight, life glimmers in a few bars and restaurants. The small neighboring town of Los Abrigos is famous for fish restaurants.

The natural sandy beach attracts fans of a measured rest away from the hustle and bustle and mass tourism. Playa El Medano stretches on the west coast, the winds brought its light sand from African lands. Opposite Montaña Roja stretches the Playa La Tejita beach, beloved by nudists and the local population.

El Cabezo bay has a rocky coast, the wind is more even and the waves are not as steep as in the sandy bay of El Medano, the natural conditions of which are suitable for speed skiing.

According to windsurfers, a bad day in El Medano is comparable to a great day in Hurghada, it is no coincidence that the resort was chosen as the venue for international competitions. Sailing equipment and paraphernalia can be rented, surf centers are located in the vicinity of the Playa Sur and Atlantic Playa hotels. Even if you do not consider yourself an experienced athlete, but are ready to take the first steps, the Russian-speaking instructors of the windsurfing school will help you get trained.

The choice of hotels in the resort is not rich: apartments and simple suites. Reasonable value for money can be found right on the coast at the three-star Medano, although you can also stay in Las Americas: it takes only 10 minutes by car.

Playa Paraiso

Fans of the all inclusive system will love Playa Paraiso, a secluded “Paradise Beach” located west of the tourist center next to the town of Callao Salvaje. Despite the beautiful name, the rocky shore leaves no chance to splash in the ocean, except to sunbathe in a sun lounger by the pool. However, the beaches of Las Americas are about 12 km away, which is only half an hour by bus or 10 minutes by car.

Downtown Playa Paraiso – four economical three-star hotels with ocean views, designed for a low-key audience. You will find more respectable hotels on the periphery – the five-star Roca Nivaria and the 4-star Bahia Principe give guests comfort and silence. “All inclusive” in Paraiso Floral and Bahia Principe, some hotels take guests to the beach and back for free. Restaurants and shops are lined along the highway, clubs and discos are open in the city.

Beginner divers can get training, and sightseeing enthusiasts can rent a car and get to the most interesting places in the south of the island in minutes.

Ten Bel

In the southernmost part of Tenerife, an oasis of peace is hidden – the resort village of Ten Bel on the rocky coast of Costa del Silencio, whose name in translation sounds like “Coast of Silence”.

The harmony of the silence of this place is conducive to secluded relaxation, as if the tourist boom has not touched the atmosphere of the unhurried life of fishing villages. Located on the east coast near the town of Las Galletas, for half a century now Ten Bel has been attracting connoisseurs of tranquility, tired of the hustle and bustle of tourist centers.

Cafes and small shops and impressive panoramas – perhaps everything you need for a family vacation. The village does not have a beach and luxurious rooms, but it can offer an all inclusive system in inexpensive comfortable hotels, as well as one of the largest seawater pools in Europe and a sandy descent into the ocean.

The most comfortable among the hotels are Parque Don Jose and Maravilla – the aparthotel is built on a ledge near the ocean, and its windows offer amazing landscapes.

Don’t be put off by Ten Bel’s isolation, renting a car will allow you to visit the most interesting corners of the island.

Puerto de la Cruz

The climate of Tenerife determined the southern location of almost all resorts, with the exception of the very first, the founder of island tourism – Puerto de la Cruz.

Conan Doyle’s contemporaries used to rest in the coolness of the subtropical flora of the northern coast. Unlike the others, this city is not built specifically for tourists, Puerto de la Cruz – the keeper of centuries of history and the place of residence of the islanders, does not resemble the tourist centers of the south either in climate or atmosphere. If the landscapes of the sultry south evoke thoughts of the desert, then the humid north breathes freshness after the rain and is fragrant with the aromas of flowers.

Resort life began here at the end of the 19th century – following the fashion trends, the English aristocracy sailed on beautiful steamships to spend the winter in Tenerife, solemnly made promenades under umbrellas and enjoyed the island, which was pleasant in all respects. After World War II, strings of simpler tourists stretched, Puerto was the leader among the Canary resorts until the 80s, until the delights of the south finally took the palm. The British are adherents of traditions, and to this day they love this place, Russian holidaymakers prefer the south, and yet it’s worth visiting the town at least once.

The choice of hotels is wide – from luxurious five-star hotels to budget ones. The neat streets of the Old Town keep their charm, the violin cries in cozy restaurants. Cuban palm trees adorn the noisy Plaza del Charco, where lovers meet, ladies discuss the latest gossip, and gray-haired seniors play dominoes. It seems that the residents do not care about the numerous holiday-makers, and this is the secret of the city’s modest charm.

Puerto de la Cruz has two beaches for you to choose from – Playa Martianez on the east and Playa Jardin on the opposite side. The coast pleasantly surprises not only with black sand, but also with a marvelous garden of exotic trees. However, the ocean is unkind from the north coast, in the winter months it attacks the island with strong high waves. This minus more than pays for the pretty Lago Martianez – a whole complex of islands made of lava and pools with sea water. Take a walk along the embankment in the evening – music flows here in the light of lanterns, and artists paint portraits, then turn onto Calle Quintana – it will lead you to the historical center. The main treasure of Puerto is Loro Park, beloved by young tourists, with penguins and tame killer whales. No less noteworthy is the botanical garden, laid out in the 17th century at the behest of the Spanish king.

What to see

The village of Maska is lost among the rocks in the thickets of the northwest
, whose picturesque landscapes are the value of mountain settlements. Rural houses can be seen under a cliff of breathtaking height, and an unforgettable panorama of the gorge of the same name opens up. Fifty years ago, only narrow rocky paths connected the Mask with the outside world. And even today, those who want to touch the past of the island overcome the pass along the serpentine of mountains.

Siam Park gives guests a fabulous atmosphere of the Thai kingdom
– it is one of the largest European water parks and is located in Las Americas. In pursuit of a dream, Christoph Kissling traveled to a lot of interesting corners of the world – Thailand, Cambodia, amusement parks in different parts of the world, collecting the best ideas and latest technology for his creation. Outstanding engineers, the architect Rutai, the famous Italian artist Paolo Bonanno took part in the embodiment of a comfortable miracle – together they managed to recreate the unique atmosphere of ancient Siam, a stylish and relaxed atmosphere for relaxation and pleasure.

Siam Park is not the only water park in Playa de las Americas, Aqualand invites kids and thrill seekers
”, in the past “Octopus”. Here you will find both children’s slides and attractions for real kamikazes, and what is nice is the absence of queues on them during the show in the dolphinarium. In Aqualand, you can visit the Dolphin Museum, take a photo against the backdrop of the main symbol – a water tap beating as if out of nowhere, and, enjoying peace, peacefully swim down the Congo River.

For the mysticism of lost civilizations, go to the Pyramids of Guimar
“- an ethnographic park where the ancient tribes of the Guanches erected ceremonial buildings. When and why they appeared is a mystery, it is only known that the mysterious stepped structures are built of volcanic lava stones and are very similar to the pyramids of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Peru.

San Miguel opens its gates to romantics inspired by the legends of King Arthur, fearless knights and valiant tournaments
. The atmosphere of the Middle Ages and battles in the best traditions of the genre, the outcome of which is largely decided by you, open up in the south of Tenerife. With the onset of dusk, passions boil here – 6 desperate knights compete in the art of shooting and riding, and the audience awards the victory in the duel. The architecture of the castle of San Miguel exactly repeats the medieval buildings. It was built specifically for theatrical show and is designed to return guests to a bygone era of valor and nobility.

If your holiday falls in February, do not miss the opportunity to get to the brightest holiday of the island – Tenerife Carnival
. It will surprise you with the scale and colors of the processions. Every corner of the island blooms this month, but traditionally the epicenter of the action is the capital of Santa Cruz. The Roman Empire presented the carnival with a scenario with a change of roles, when nobles and servants, men and women changed clothes and, hiding behind masks, were freed from the rules and foundations.

To create an architectural image and a natural picture of Tenerife, take a walk in the miniature park “Pueblo
Chico
“. A small town in the vicinity of La Orotava contains replicas of the most iconic buildings and landscapes. Thematic zones are recreated with precision to the smallest detail: the modern era and the Guanche era, rural architecture and historical buildings, the lunar landscape and the city of La Laguna, exotic flora and endemic plants. Seeing the best from a distance will make you want to compare the miniatures to reality.

At the dawn of colonization and until the beginning of the 18th century, the northern coast was glorified by the town of Garachico
– the main port of Tenerife, seeing off ships with full holds of wine and meeting galleons with overseas goods. Alas, the Montaña Negra volcano put an end to the prosperity of a wealthy city – lava flows swallowed up the port and most of the island.

Orotava valley spreads like an emerald carpet on the northern slopes of the Teide near Puerto de la Cruz
, and in its very heart, among banana plantations, a picturesque town of conquistadors has grown. The best time to be here is June, the Octava del Corpus holiday
when the lanes are strewn with flowers and carpeted with petals, and the central square amazes with fantasy paintings made of colored volcanic sand.

The capital of ancient times, the cultural and spiritual core of the Canary archipelago – San Cristobal de la Laguna
. The palaces, monasteries and churches of these places seemed to have descended from the canvases of a brilliant artist. Museums make a significant contribution to the treasury of the city’s merits: the Museum of the History of Tenerife, the Museum of Science and Space, the Museum of Anthropology. Another of the museums is very interesting Museum of Nature and Man in Santa Cruz. If you are going to visit museums, do not forget to take the Bono Bus magnetic card with you – save half the cost of visits.

In the east of Tenerife, near the capital, the coastal city of Candelaria blooms. He gathers parishioners and carefully preserves the Black Madonna
– a statue of the patroness of the Virgin of Kandelarskaya, revered by the archipelago. Legend has it that at the end of the 14th century, the waves of the ocean washed a sculpture of a woman ashore. She was found by the Guanches, and worshiped in the cave of the king for half a century, and the settlement was called Candelaria, which in translation sounds like a meeting with God.

The burning passion and temperament of the Spanish soul will be revealed to you by the ballet Carmen Mota in the concert hall “Pyramid of Arona
“. If earlier a ticket to a ballet brought only boredom, this bright emotional performance will radically change your attitude.

Beaches in Tenerife

Beach lovers have a wide choice of sandy and pebble beaches in different parts of Tenerife, as well as a string of comfortable and equipped beaches on the coast of the southern resort of Playa de las Americas. Many of them have been awarded the European quality mark – the blue flag as a symbol of safety, high level of service and environmental friendliness. Guests of the island can swim and sunbathe in any of the places they like, including on the territory of the most star hotels. Only the service is paid for: straw umbrellas, mattresses and sunbed rental, entrance to showers and toilets, as well as water rides, catamarans and jet skis. The embankments are strewn with all sorts of cafes and restaurants.

The volcanic nature of the island has defined several natural black sand beaches, and the development of tourism has contributed to the appearance of bulk beaches with sand from Africa and from the ocean floor. Artificial beaches give out light sand, and only the winds from the Sahara Desert brought it to the shores of El Medano. Connoisseurs of secluded relaxation will love the wild pebble beaches in the eastern part of Las Americas as an alternative to well-equipped, but crowded sandy shores.

The leading tourist center of the south – Las Americas – was built in the image and likeness of Miami: kilometers of comfortable sandy beaches, protected by stone dams, stretched on a rocky coastline. The calmness of the ocean waters allows you to relax here all year round. A promenade has been created along the coast and lined up with a long chain of hotels, bars, restaurants and shops – in this area every guest will find a place to his liking.

, imprinted on the pages of each guide. Three hundred tons of sand from the Sahara desert covers a two-kilometer-long, palm-lined coast with gold. The ocean is tamed by a stone breakwater, thanks to the dam the water here is always at a pleasant temperature, but the tops of the mountain range often gather clouds – in order not to get caught in the rain, ask about the weather forecast before the trip. It has everything for a wonderful holiday, and the home restaurants of the surrounding villages beckon with the aromas of fish dishes according to Canarian recipes. Las Teresitas is chosen not only by tourists, but also by islanders; on weekends, the beach is especially crowded.

For new beaches, check out Playa Torviscas
, imperceptibly merged with the coast of Playa Fanabe, where the five-star hotels Gran Anthelia and Jardines de Nivaria go. Gray bulk sand, boulders of four breakwaters, playgrounds and an endless series of shops, cozy chiringuito bars with cold cocktails, an abundance of restaurant dishes make it possible to spend the whole day here perfectly. At your service everything for outdoor activities: catamarans, jet skis, paragliding.

Los Cristianos delights tourists with two popular beaches. Golden and calm Playa de los Cristianos
huddled in the port, closed from the ocean by piers and offers a wide range of excursions, water activities and children’s playgrounds. Completely refurbished in 2008, it invites guests to play beach volleyball and enjoy fresh fish at the beachside restaurants. In the bay behind the port there is one of the longest beaches – Playa
de
las
Vistas
, in its very center a fountain gurgles, and along the coast there are many bars and restaurants. A lot of festivals and concerts take place on the beach, the coast has fun until the morning, entertaining guests with nightly disco bars.

The southeast of Tenerife awaits connoisseurs of solitude and water sports in the area of the miniature resort of El Medano, offering two spacious natural beaches with natural orange-gold sand, rare for the island, brought by winds from Africa. Partially covering the territory of the city, El Medano beach
located near the airport and rests against the Montana Roja rock – velvet dunes stretch at the foot of red rocks, and constant trade winds attract European kiters and windsurfers, as well as those who prefer the coziness of a sparsely populated coast to noisy centers. Athletes are invited to buy equipment from branded stores, and for beginners, the doors of the surf and kite school are open.

Windswept beach La Tejita stretches out from the back of the volcano
. It will impress lovers of wild recreation, a nice place under the Montana Roja rock was chosen by naturists. Perhaps this is the only well-maintained beach for nudists – there are sun loungers, umbrellas, a food kiosk. However, adherents of nudity rest behind a stone wall, without embarrassing people of traditional views. Behind the breakwater is the rocky shore of La Cabeza beach
– the even wind and waves of this place gather participants and fans of the windsurfing championship every August.

The north of Tenerife is not so kind to those who like to swim in the ocean – high waves are quite dangerous, but the artificial lakes of Lago Martianez
compensate for the harsh nature of nature. Islands of volcanic lava, fountains and an impressive artificial lake, spread over 15,000 square meters. meters and bordered by smaller pools, await visitors to the complex. As well as on well-maintained beaches, a range of recreational services is presented to your attention – cafes, restaurants, sunbed rental, cabins.

On the territory of the largest northern resort – Puerto de la Cruz, two beaches with therapeutic volcanic sand are open: the eastern Playa Martianez and the more comfortable Playa Jardin
with parking, rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, restaurants, showers and a first-aid post.

You can experience the healing power of black sand in the southwestern resort of Los Gigantes in the vicinity of Puerto de Santiago – on the most beautiful natural beach with volcanic sand Playa de la Arena
. Surrounded by apartments, he hid in a rocky bay and is protected from steep waves and strong winds. It is worth coming here early in the morning, before the coast is flooded with tourists from neighboring resorts, and admire the contrasts of milky white foam, azure waters and dark sand. For twenty years in a row, Playa de la Arena has been awarded a blue ribbon for its beautiful views and cleanliness. The warmth of the sun and the minerals of the volcanic sand will relieve you of osteochondrosis, sprains, sciatica and arthritis, and a scattering of restaurants and shops will diversify the promenade along the quiet uncrowded coast.

Activities and excursions in Tenerife

The climate and winds of Tenerife are perfect for kiting both on the waves and in the lagoons. Everything here is like in Spain, although the island makes you overestimate the level of training. The most popular beach among kiters, equipped with a full service for water sports, is the sandy El Medano .
Wave catchers will love the northern shores, but reefs and sea urchins require special shoes.

There are a lot of golf clubs on the island, including international class – a great opportunity to get trained and join such a prestigious and aristocratic sport. Most of the clubs are located in the southern part of the island, where it rarely rains.

Dive from the deck into the azure waters of the bay and get acquainted with whales, dolphins and sperm whales in a natural environment with boat excursions
. A huge number of breeds and species live in the plankton-rich coastal waters of Tenerife: sharks, mackerels, blue marlin, barracudas, two dozen whales. The guides joke that the inhabitants of the ocean are on their salary, and therefore communication with them is a guaranteed item in the walking program. However, only the most successful travelers manage to meet a sea turtle or a sperm whale. The best choice of pleasure yachts, pirate sailboats, boats and catamarans with a transparent bottom is offered by the port of Puerto Colon, you can also go to meet the sea from Los Gigantes or Los Cristianos.

Named after Columbus, who visited the island, the port of Puerto Colon is recognizable by the statue of the great navigator – the pointing finger of the monument is raised in the direction of the way across the Atlantic. The largest company in the field of water attractions operates in the port – Water Sports & Charters
, offering the entire range of kayaks and bicycles, motorcycles, boats and yachts, skiing, “bananas”, parachuting, sea voyage, fishing and diving. Don’t miss the opportunity to ride the B.O. B. Diving

The widest variety of fish species in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic will delight fans of sport fishing
in the open ocean – special boats, equipped with all the gear up to the echo sounder, promise a big catch of trophies and vivid impressions. Fishing connoisseurs can try out tackle to taste, and beginners will quickly learn the fishing craft. Who will be seduced by the bait – tuna, swordfish or the dream of sophisticated fishermen – blue marlin, is impossible to predict, and this is the special excitement of deep-sea fishing. If you decide to fish on your own, set off from the port of Los Gigantes.

Diving in Tenerife allows you to see bizarre volcanic landscapes underwater and feed huge stingrays
. Look for the most delicious places for diving in the south – Las Galletas, southwest and southeast. In The Rays, dozens of stingrays pose for tourists and treat themselves right from the hands, a few minutes drive from Los Gigantes hides the picturesque Octopus Cove – sea anemones, corals and a reef overgrown with sponges will appeal to lovers of colorful photos. Like the ruins of an ancient city, the mysterious Atlantis is hidden under the water column, Mask Bay is edged with black corals, the Palm-Mar caves, Las Cuevitas and the sunken ship “Condesito Shipwreck” keep their secrets.

Those wishing to ride on the ships of the desert are met by Camel Park
, located in the vicinity of Los Cristianos between the villages of La Camella and Chayofa. Many hours of camel safaris await guests at the La Casa del Camello farm near the Las Americas resort. Quad Park invites you to arrange ATV races on potholes of volcanic off-road
, open a stone’s throw from La Camella and the village of Arona. You can try one of the best European tracks in two karting clubs
, the best of which is Karting Club Tenerife, located near Los Cristianos. At your disposal are six models of karts and two tracks for all ages and skill levels.

However, fans of extreme sports will get the most powerful adrenaline rush in the sports park ”
Agua

»
— if at heart you are a true Gagarin or a desperate skydiver, the merger of water and sky in Las Americas will give you a storm of thrills. These breathtaking attractions have gained wild popularity in the world: where else will you have the opportunity to rush down from a 20-story high-rise and accelerate to hundreds of kilometers on a “rocket” in a second, freely fall from a bird’s eye view and jump from a springboard, reaching an eight-meter height. While adults behave like children, kids will also have something to do on attractions for the youngest tourists.

SPA in Tenerife

Relax after an active holiday in the SPA-center – what could be more pleasant? The healing power of thermal baths has been known since the time of Ancient Rome, even then, water from mineral springs was used to treat ailments and restore health. Therapeutic mud and herbs for SPA procedures give the skin youth, elasticity and beauty, activate the metabolism and rid the body of toxins, saturating it with energy, restoring vigor and well-being.

For those wishing to join the thermal pleasures in the south of Tenerife, the Aqua Club Termal complex near the Villa Tagoro has opened its doors. The SPA centers of five-star hotels in Playa de las Americas are waiting for all guests of the island, and in Puerto de la Cruz a new chic Oriental SPA Garden club has opened on the territory of the Botanico hotel.

Shopping

The Canary archipelago is a free economic zone that is not burdened with high import duties, which makes the cost of goods in Tenerife significantly lower than in Europe. The best shopping awaits you in the shopping centers of the capital Santa Cruz on Calle del Castillo.

Take a look at the largest shopping center “El
Corte
ingles
» for clothes and shoes – the range of world-famous brands on the island is not rich, but it is easy to find interesting Spanish brands. In addition, the store will delight you with jewelry, perfumes and leather handbags.

Nearby you will find a small clothing store with a great balance of price and quality – Wehbe
. A mall equipped with a cinema and restaurants invites you to combine business with pleasure – Hipermercado Carrefour
, and it is better to buy electronics and household appliances without fear of Indian fakes in the Saturn center
.

In Las Americas, a shopping gallery has opened near the Parque Santiago hotel, and the largest Spanish pearl center, Tenerife Pearl, has been opened in the southern corner of Armenime Island
. The assortment of the store will pleasantly surprise even the most demanding fans of pearl jewelry, and in the workshop you can see firsthand how mother-of-pearl beauty is born from the showroom. Enter the “Catch the Pearl” lottery by pointing out the shellfish you like in the aquarium – the treasure of the shell will be yours, along with an expert assessment of the catch and a certificate.

The sales season – rebajas – starts twice a year: at Christmas and in the middle of summer, when shops are flooded with crowds of shopaholics. Discounts – from 20% to 90% on the most stale goods.

The highlight of shopping in Tenerife is high-quality alcohol, it’s cheaper – only for free, even at the airport in Duty Free the price tag is higher than on the island. Buying perfumes and expensive watches here is also much more profitable than in Russia. Near the hotels, there are a lot of outlets with obsessive Indians and seductive prices for electronics, but do not rush here for shopping – the origin of the equipment is dubious, and the guarantee is not valid in Russia. For gadgets, it is better to go to the capital’s stores.

For those who find special charm in the world of flea markets, eagerly looking for something unique among nesting dolls and ritual African masks, Tenerife offers several flea markets: in Los Cristianos – at the Hotel Gran Arona, in Las Americas – Mercadillo de Torviscas, as well as in Plaza de Llano, Los Abrigos and Playa San Juan.

Food and drink

Canarian cuisine is a fusion of Spanish and Mediterranean traditions with the best recipes from Africa and Latin America. The basis is freshness, simplicity and quality of fish, seafood, pork, young lamb and marinated goat meat flavored with juicy vegetables, olives and tropical fruits.

Breakfast in Tenerife starts with coffee and the traditional gofio, fried corn or barley flour mixed with milk. Multifaceted gofio is added to desserts, soups, roasts, ice cream, sauces, porridge is made from it and bread is baked. This product is very rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, it formed the basis of the diet of the ancient Guanches, helped the population survive in the difficult post-war years, and is still included in the daily menu of the Canarians.

The highlight of the local cuisine is Papas Arrugadas “wrinkled potatoes”. Small young potatoes are boiled in their skins until the water has completely evaporated so that the salt settles on the peel. Often served with chicken, mojo sauce, a mixture of spicy and green sauces based on olive oils, gives a unique taste to the side dish. Complements the island menu “old clothes” Ropa Vieja – a combination of beef, chickpeas, potatoes, chicken fillet and roast potaje. Many varieties of Canarian stews, including Puchero Canario, are made from several types of meat, and Vieja, freshly caught boiled wrasse in olive oil, is recognized as a favorite among traditional dishes. Among the spices, saffron is the leader – a frequent guest in the recipes of local dishes.

The simplicity of the Canarian menu pleasantly surprises with whimsical food combinations. The first courses abound with a variety of vegetable soups made from zucchini and watercress, the rich Potaje de berros on pork ribs with beans, corn, caraway and watercress is popular.

At the head of the table – tender boiled fish of various varieties with mojo sauce or flavored with oil, vinegar and pepper. In addition to the exquisite purple-yellow vieja, be sure to try bocanegro, perch, several types of tuna and chicharro. Sea bream, swordfish and sardines are very popular, as are typical island dishes: salted fish in Caldereta mojo sauce, boiled sama with sweet potatoes Sancocho Canario and fried fish with garlic, coriander and Frita con mojo verde vinegar. Sea delicacies will please gourmets with the freshest oysters, mussels, clams, squids, snails, shrimps, knife-fish, cuttlefish and boquerones anchovies.

In the humid tropics, meat dishes are a special treat: grilled pork with Carne De Fiesta marinated peppers and the famous Chuletones bone-in chops. The natives respect goat meat and young lamb, appetizing stew with tomatoes and rabbit meat Conejo al salmorejo, as well as Pucero stew with saffron, beans and chorizo sausage. Vegetarians will appreciate the Potaje Berros and vegetable rice mix with corn, tomatoes and Arros con verduras peppers.

Sauces deserve special attention: green mojo verde with coriander and spicy mojo rojo with pepper. Local sauces are 100% natural, do not contain chemicals and preservatives, the best souvenir for a gourmet is a set of bottles with different types of sauces. It is impossible to get an idea of the cuisine of Tenerife without tasting the rabbit in the Salmorejo marinade.

The Canary Islands are famous for their original Tapas, served before dinner with fine wine or beer in the form of canapés or pinchos with a stick. The range of snacks is the widest: cheeses, cold meats, seafood, hot vegetables.

The wine list is opened by sweet and strong amber malvasia, 33 types of Canarian wines come from the volcanic area of Lanzarote – there are no such wine-growing areas in the world anymore, natural disasters have not affected the entire history of local vineyard production, which has a beneficial effect on the quality of white and red varieties .

The production of white and dark rum flourishes in the Canary Islands – carefully guarded sugarcane plantations endow the drink not only with excellent taste, but also with medicinal properties. Evaluate the local Daiquiri, Cuba Libre and branded honey Ron Miel – the cost of alcohol in Tenerife shops is more affordable than in Duty Free.

And for dessert, a medley of fresh tropical fruits: papaya, mango, pineapple, avocado, guava, melon and pow pow. Palm honey and juice, delicious flan egg pudding and amazing quesillo cheese, as well as the famous bienmesabe – honey and egg cream with rum, almonds, cinnamon and cream.

You can get acquainted with the original cuisine of Tenerife in family village restaurants that have opened their doors away from the resort routes. In addition to the traditional island menu, you can easily find multinational cuisine in numerous establishments. It has everything from a British pub and fast food chains like Little Italy and McDonald’s to upmarket restaurants. Canarian tipico serves wonderful soups and fish dishes, and the unexpected combinations of Platos combinados are delicious. Establishment levels are graded according to forks: from one to five forks assigned to the best restaurants for the luxury of the interior and assortment. However, many restaurants with the best cuisine can boast only 4 forks, the most accurate indicator of the quality of dishes is the presence of local residents in the hall. The staff is fluent in English, and often in Russian. Tips are usually included in the bill, although you can add 10% for a good time if you feel like it.

You will be treated to delicious meat dishes in restaurants: Juan Pedro’s in Los Menores, Romania at Adeje, which is not far from Las Americas, in Los Arcos, discovered north of Los Cristianos, as well as behind the resort of Puerto de la Cruz in the town of La Montaneta. Once there was an ancient monastery here, and today “El Monasterio” is the best complex of restaurants in Tenerife, where the variety of menus is amazing, they bake real black bread and serve monastery beer. After a hearty lunch, it’s nice to take a walk in a wonderful park and feed the animals. And for Brazilian grilled meat, go to Rodeo, which is not far from Las Americas. We recommend trying seafood in the fishing villages of Los Abrigos and La Caleta, as well as in the Los Cristianos restaurant – “El Cine”, the chicken is well cooked in the provincial restaurants of Adeje – “Oasis” and “Damaray”.

Pleasant service, atmosphere and sophistication of Spanish cuisine will meet you in the family “Meson Castellano” – suckling pig, fresh fish, Spanish wines … The original design of meat dishes according to Canarian recipes invites “Molino Blanco” in Adeje, the spirit of Castile “El Torito”, and “El Duende” is famous for its wine cellar and snails in green pepper. To enjoy a meal in the walls of a beautiful house, open to guests in the historic site of Puerto de la Cruz, to taste delicious international dishes: swordfish straight from the fire, spicy peppers, king prawns and the best Canarian wines, invites “Casa Regulo”. And delicious pies, seafood and any of two hundred wines will be served on the terrace overlooking the ocean at Casa Pancho.

Tipping is optional, but a sign of good manners, but too large an equivalent of gratitude is mauvais ton. To encourage the waiter for service, it is enough to add 10% to the bill amount, while the money is distributed to the entire staff of the establishment.

Communication

On the streets of every city you can easily find the blue-green payphones “Telefonica”, the cost of a five-minute call to Russia is about 1 euro. International communication services are provided by any Internet cafe at a rate of 12 – 25 cents per minute, payment by meter is made at the box office. It is possible to call from a hotel room by paying the bills on the day of departure at the reception, but this is the most expensive type of communication. It is cheaper to purchase a SIM card from a Tenerife mobile operator – from 25 euros, taking into account the balance of 15 euros, tariffs – about 1.5 euros per minute of conversation with a Russian subscriber. The SIM card is replenished at the offices of the mobile operator, at gas stations, at the post office, in electronics stores and through ATMs.

Calls to Russia to fixed numbers
:

007 or +7 (this is the Russian code) + area code + landline subscriber number

Calls to Russia to mobile numbers:

007 or +7 + subscriber’s mobile number without the eight.

Computers with Internet connection are installed in almost all hotels, the cost of services is 6-8 euros per hour. Several times cheaper access to the World Wide Web will cost in slot machine halls. You will find Wi-Fi in the reception area of almost any hotel, free – in H10 hotels and McDonald’s.

Security

Peace and prosperity reign in Tenerife, the standard of living of benevolent Spaniards is quite high, and there are simply no places and quarters dangerous for tourists on the island. Travel at your pleasure by car or bus, walk safely under the moon, but do not neglect simple precautions.

Keep valuables, bags, wallets, equipment with you, do not leave them unattended on a sun lounger or in a car. Do not be too lazy to hide the bags in the trunk – if the thieves break the glass, the insurance is powerless. Passports, money, jewelry, tickets and other documents and valuables should be kept in a safe and not carried to the beach with you – it is unlikely that on the island you will be asked for a passport for verification, and a driver’s license is enough to pay for purchases with a plastic card. Wallets and large bills have no place in the back pockets of your trousers.

We strongly advise against paying with bank cards in outlets opened by Indians, and these are almost all electronics stores in Las Americas. And don’t rush to buy goods from them for cash: most likely, it will be of poor quality and of dubious origin.

Avoid obsessive distributors of free lotteries.

Try not to burn yourself and beware of sunstroke, the best time for a beach holiday is before 13.00 and after 16.00. Hats, protective creams, glasses and umbrellas to help you – start with cosmetics with a high degree of protection, reducing to SPF 15 as you tan. Tanning oil is suitable for dark skin.

It is safer to keep a distance from living creatures in the water, catching crabs on slippery cobblestones is not a good idea. Sea urchins live on the bottom of the ocean and rocks, if you are still unlucky to step on one of them, treat the wound with fresh lemon juice. The fruit is found in any coastal bar, will soften the pain, and the needles will come out less painfully. The remains of the needles are removed with tweezers, the doctor will prescribe a special ointment from the pharmacy.

If you have any difficulties, except for car rental, please contact the host.

For medical assistance, call the numbers listed on your health insurance policy. You are obliged to consult, if necessary, send a specialist to you or arrange hospitalization. The cost of calls, treatment and transportation is reimbursed by the insurance company. However, if serious treatment is not required, you pay for the doctor’s services yourself, and after returning home, you present an invoice from the pharmacy and for the services of the doctor of the insurance company. The presence of a medical policy is not a whim of the embassy, but a guarantee of receiving expensive medical care in Spain.

We were in Tenerife before the cruise, so we didn’t consider visiting the Teide volcano. This time I was torn between a visit to the Barranco del Infierno gorge near the city of Masca and a trip to Parque Natural de Anaga in the north of the island. As a result, we chose a trip to the mountains of Anaga. We love mountain landscapes very much, and the first day you could still torment your husband with a trip along mountain serpentines

Booked on the site cicar.com Opel Astra for 60.28€.
could have taken
Opel Corsa for 55, but they were afraid that if they didn’t upgrade and give a car of the same class, then it would be difficult to drive it on mountain roads.
After last year’s trip to France, my husband already knew that you can’t take a car of the lowest class for mountain roads.
As a result, we got
Seat Lion with automatic gearbox. She did an excellent job with her task.

Our itinerary: port – El Bailadero – Chamorga – Taganana – Bajo el Roque – Almáciga – Benijo – El Draguillo – Barranco De Afur, Tamadite – Roque Negro – Mirador Pico Del Inglés – Mirador Cruz Del Carmen – Mirador De Jardina – port. You can look it up on google.

There was also the village of Taborno on the route, but we didn’t stop because time was running out.

I liked the trip, we saw something that is rarely shown to tourists on the island.

In general, in Tenerife you want to come back and come back. Despite its rather small size, the island has some kind of inexplicable aura of attraction.

If you are interested, there are a lot of photos in my album on Yandex.Fotki.

The author will be pleased!

Excellent island of eternal spring

Los Rodeos North Airport is about 15-20 kilometers from the capital Santa Cruz. Every half an hour there is a scheduled green bus to the central city bus station. But this option did not suit us with our luggage. At the exit from the arrivals hall, a separate door with a control desk leads to the taxi. We did not have time to approach, as the manager quickly showed a taxi on the street, ready to serve us. We arrived at the Taburiente Hotel in about twenty minutes. The counter in a taxi at the landing starts counting immediately from 3 euros 20 cents. Upon arrival in the city center, 18 euros with kopecks came up.

There are no quadruple rooms in the hotel, I had to take two double rooms for 56.5 euros per day (without breakfast). Only 113 euros for two double rooms. The hotel is normal, there is a swimming pool on the roof, though the water was cool. We had a good night’s sleep, left our things in the storage room and went for a walk around Santa Cruz.

García Sanabria Park is a favorite place to relax in the city center. There are many flowerbeds, fountains, monuments, alleys, like a botanical garden. Walking around the city, we realized that we simply want to eat. We booked the hotel without breakfast… We spontaneously decide to go to the port for registration, eat on board and continue exploring the city. Taxi to the port cost 9euros, registration went through quickly.

Having tasted delicacies on the first boarding day at the hospitable AIDAsol,
again decided to go on an independent tour of the city
Santa Cruz.
It was in the afternoon, around 3pm. All aboard at eight o’clock.
There is not much free time – about five hours. We went along the blue line through the ferry waiting room to the city, to the central square of Spain in search of a tourist bass – our main lifesaver. The price of an adult ticket is 16 euros, a child ticket is 8.5 euros.

Russian audio guide available.
The literary text is normal, the voice of the announcer without an accent.
The interval frequency is 30 minutes.
The total duration of the trip is 1 hour.

What a different city it turned out to be
Holy Cross on the island
Tenerife.
House-palaces in the colonial style in the city center.

Glass new building on the former wastelands-outskirts with its twin towers.
Narrow streets, tunnels, parks.
Unpretentious box houses crawling along the slopes of the mountains.

While exploring the city from the height of the second floor of the tourist bass
we were overtaken by the tramway Tramvia, which connects

port with town
La Laguna (San Cristobal de La Laguna),
the former capital of the island. The idea was born to ride today and in La Laguna.
The light rail terminus is next to the Auditorio.
There is a large transport hub with a bus station
intercambiador,
from where buses go to all sides of the island.

We boarded the tram at the Fundacion stop closest to Plaza de España.
It is the second in a row from the Intercambiador bus station.
Tickets (1 euro 35 cents)
sold at vending machines.

B
La Laguna from La Trinidad terminus to the historic center
two hundred or three hundred meters along the pedestrian zone.

Near the terminus of the tram in La Laguna “La Trinidad”
many small shops with good discounts.
Here we are fully stocked!
Shoe sizes matched.
6 (six) euros for a pair of boots
Well, where did you see this…
Any shopaholic can get a nervous breakdown at these prices.

Historic center of the former capital of the island – La Laguna (San Cristobal de La Laguna)
gives the impression of peace and tranquility.
Here life flows slowly as usual, even tourists here are not always in a hurry (like us),
and relaxed, enjoying the evening gatherings to the chords of the guitar. I did not want to leave La Laguna, but it was time to return to the port.

Upon returning a week later in Santa Cruz, we booked the Silken Atlantida 4 * hotel for 2 nights – 52 euros (without breakfast) for a standard room. The hotel is really worth it! I recommend it before a cruise.

Taxi at the port was rented for the whole day until 20.00 pm according to the following program: unloading the suitcases at the hotel, trip to the Teide National Park to the cable car. There, the wait is two hours until we get to the crater. Then a trip to the water park “Siam” on the other most southern end of the island of Tenerife. There again waiting – a couple of hours before the closing of the water park. And return to the port capital of Santa Cruz to our hotel. According to the speedometer, this circle around the island is about 200 kilometers, for about as many euros they bargained with the driver.

The trip through the Teide National Park, up to an altitude of more than 2000 meters to the foot of the volcano, took place in the struggle with sleep, as at the beginning we were driving through a wooded part where eucalyptus grew. This special healing-intoxicating smell of equilipt lulls you better than any lullaby. It’s good that the observation decks here are so frequent that they stopped at all the miradors about a dozen times, dispersing sleep. We climbed above the clouds along the western part of the island and saw the towns of Orotrava and Puerto de La Cruz from above. The weather was clear and our eyes opened two neighboring islands – La Gomera and La Palma.

The central and main point of the serpentine road through the Teide National Park is the bottom station of the cable car to the Teide crater. The slope of the volcano is so steep that there is no road to the crater (no serpentines will help),
and besides, the volcano has been declared a natural monument by UNESCO, where any construction is prohibited.

This is a site at about 2500 meters above sea level. The cable car TELEFERICO DEL TEIDE lifts tourists up another kilometer to 3555 meters. The rest is a little less than two hundred meters to the finish 3718 meters on foot along the beaten path.

The ticket price for the cable car to the Teide crater (round-trip) is insane, robbery in broad daylight. 25 euros per adult and 12.5 euros per child. More expensive only for the Sicilian Etna – there is generally skinning – 60 euros from the nose.

The ascent and descent by cable car is also a tourist attraction. There are stunning views. At the top there are many signs and information stands of the highest miradors in the Canary Islands. There are three observation decks near the crater, on different sides of the island. Volcanic landscapes are quite Martian.

To get to the crater, you need to show the caretaker at the upper station of the cable car “avizo” – a free permit to visit the Teide peak. We didn’t have it, but under the guise of a photo shoot, we “freely” passed the Rubicon.

The weather was so clear that from the other side of the Teide Peak we managed to photograph another island – Gran Canaria!

Having made almost a record number of photographs of all the visited volcanoes on Teide, we hurried down to the lower station of the cable car. There we were given a “Certificate of Visiting the Teide Volcano”. The photo shows that in vain they neglected the advice to smear sunscreen in the mountains. Tan to the face stuck instantly! Well, everything suits the scoundrel …

And here we are at our next destination – SIAM PARK. The ticket price is 33 euros, but it is more profitable to buy a double ticket for two parks:
SIAM + LORO for 56 euros.

The only bummer – the schedule on our day was shortened to 17.00. And we hoped that until 19.00 (as in the high season). On the clock – half past four. For the sake of an hour and a half to give such an expensive price … The toad choked for about five minutes, but I really wanted to. We went and not in vain. There were practically no queues and we managed to ride on all the rides several times.

Mood after extreme water procedures in the water park was 120 points on a hundred-point scale.

The stereotype about the Canary Islands as a warm paradise place, where in the winter-spring time Europeans warm their bones and get relaxation – the purest TRUTH!

The very south of Tenerife, where the tourist enclaves of Las Americas and Los Cristianos are located – only here you can find “bounty – heavenly delight”. Local territorial miracle! In the port of Santa Cruz it can rain and strong winds can blow, in the Teide mountains there is snow, and in Las Americas there is warm water and hot sand.

There are breakwaters that dampen the ocean waves, and the ocean water on the shallow shore quickly warms up to comfortable temperatures.

The most popular beach here among the party youth is MONKEY BEACH. Here, from evening to morning, non-stop, there is an open-air disco for many hours with hit DJs and go-go performances with freaks.

Oh, it’s a pity – I didn’t immediately think of taking a post-cruise hotel not in the cold-windy port of Santa Cruz, but in the party-warm Las Americas. After the water park, we could have stayed here on the beach to relax, and so we just did another photo shoot “Me and a palm tree” on MONKEY BEACH – the warmest beach in the Canaries.

So, those who want to stay for a couple of days in Tenerife after the cruise, choose hotels in the south of the island, near MONKEY BEACH in Las Americas. Of course, it is far from the northern port – 60 kilometers, but the “heavenly pleasure” costs extra money for the transfer. But the water park is nearby. By the way, the continuation of the banquet in the water park on the second day costs – 10 euros, upon presentation of yesterday’s ticket. That is, a two-day entrance to the water park costs 43 euros.

P.S. In fact, the beach is called PLAYA DE TROYA (a triple beach consisting of three small coves separated by breakwaters), and MONKEY BEACH CLUB is the name of the club that hosts discos of the same name. But it is precisely the name MONKEY BEACH that has taken root and now everyone knows where it is.

The next evening after disembarking at 19.30, we bought AirEurope tickets from Tenerife North (Los Rodeos) to Barcelona. I specially took such tickets so that I could devote another whole day of light to rest (excursions) on the island. The plans included visiting the bird zoo with the LORO PARQUE dolphinarium, which is located in the town of Puerto de la Cruz on the west coast of Tenerife, 30 kilometers from the capital.

Buses No. 102 and No. 103 depart from Santa Cruz Central Bus Station every half an hour according to the schedule. Ticket price – 5 euros.

Our hotel was well located – just one block from the bus station, 5 minutes walk. The largest network shopping center El Corte Inglas was built near the bus station. The day before, we bought a lot of cuts, sauces, etc. in the grocery supermarket. For dinner, for breakfast, and even left what to take with you to Loro Parque for a lunch snack.

Arrived in 40 minutes. From the final stop of the intercity bus to Loro Park, a twenty-minute walk along the promenade.
Pointers will not let you get lost. For those who do not like hiking, a tourist train runs along the embankment.

The air temperature at noon warmed up to 29 degrees Celsius. Local beaches are gradually filled with vacationers. There is an ocean wave and some water compared to Las Americas is cooler.

For very inquisitive tourists who prefer to hear additional information from the lips of guides and guides in Loro Park, there is a paid option “Discovery Tour”, lasting 1 hour 45 minutes and costing 10 euros. And if it weren’t for Aleksey, the host of the discovery tour in Loro Park, our impressions would have been only contemplative, but they also turned out to be meaningful. Thanks to him, we learned a lot of interesting things about the backstage of Loro Parque.

In addition, having heard that we want to leave the Discovery Tour earlier, as we need to return to Santa Cruz to the hotel for luggage, and then to the northern airport for check-in, he offered to stay until the end of the Discovery Tour. tour” and then use his transfer. So lucky, so lucky! Another transport problem solved itself. We even arrived at the airport check-in much earlier.

Loro Park on the island of Tenerife

This island is unique for its natural beauties and most of the cruisers go towards the Teide volcano. But we decided to dedicate this day to our twelve-year-old son. It was decided – we are going to Loro Park for the whole day. To do this, we need to get to the town of PUERTO DE LA CRUZ on the west coast of Tenerife, 30 kilometers from the capital.

There are two options for bringing the body to the park. The first is a taxi. And the second is a shuttle bus. Buses No. 102 and No. 103 depart from the Santa Cruz Central Bus Station every half an hour. Ticket price – 5 euros. In order to spend more time in the park, we decided to go there by taxi, and back, no longer in a hurry, by bus.

It’s quite a long drive… We cross the whole island. The road is wide and fast. Somewhere in the middle of the way, the taxi driver offers to stop at the mirador – to take a picture. From here you have a beautiful view of the Teide volcano.

LORO PARK is open daily from 8:30 to 18:45. Entrance fee to the park: adult – 33 euros, children (under 11 years old) – 22 euros. Park website: http://www. loroparque.com/default.aspx

At the entrance we buy a branded yellow baseball cap for 1 euro. Taking pictures with two cockatoos. Photos can be picked up at the exit from the park. Price – 8 euros.

As soon as you cross the threshold of the park, you immediately find yourself in a green, blooming paradise.

Four types of performances take place every day in different parts of Loro Parque: fur seals, dolphins, killer whales and parrots. Each – several times.

Fur seal show 09:30 | 12:30 | 14:15 | 15:30 | 17:00
Dolphin show 11:00 | 13:00 | 14:45 | 16:00 | 17:30
Killer whale show 11:45 | 13:45 | 15:15 | 16:30
Parrot show 10:30 | 11:30 | 12:30 | 14:00 | 15:00 | 16:00 | 17:00
All performances are approximately 30 minutes long.

In general, the word “most” will always accompany you during your visit to Loro Parque. The penguinarium “Penguin Planet” is no exception – the largest in the world. 180 birds gathered under its roof, for which a special cannon fires 12 tons of snow every day.

Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. To prevent people from crowding, a moving tape was made. You stand on it … and at low speed you go around the entire penguinarium in a circle.

It is very good that you can watch penguins both on the ice floe and underwater. I would never have thought they were so smart. They float like torpedoes.

At 11 o’clock we watched the dolphin show.

And at 12:00 killer whale show. It deserves attention just because not every zoo can afford them. These animals moved to permanent residence in Loro Park from the USA relatively recently – in 2006. And immediately took pride of place on its logo in the form of a large tail drawn between a dolphin and a parrot.

By the arrival of the most human-friendly predators, a new arena has been built, adequate to their size. The pool has a diameter of 120 m and holds 22.5 million liters of sea water!

If you want to watch killer whales from the front rows, take care of a cape in advance (3 €, sold here). Otherwise, you will have to walk around the park wet for the rest of the time. “Dangerous” places are marked with appropriate stickers. By the way, there are no two identical shows even during the day: killer whales are capricious, so trainers adjust to their mood.

Do not miss the aquarium building: it is located near the exit. There, in addition to the many sea and river inhabitants, you will be pleased with the glass tunnel with sharks swimming right over your head. The aquarium in Loro Park is worthy.

Tigers, chimpanzees, jaguars, a pair of sloths, a flock of flamingos, a family of adorable meerkats, crocodiles and huge turtles live in the imposing territory of Loro Park, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.

Meerkats, it seemed to me, are the most favorite among the children. Watching them is a pleasure. Funny animals. Danila was barely dragged away from them.

Somehow the time passed imperceptibly and it’s time for us to leave. A taxi driver was already waiting for us at the exit. We reached Santa Cruz without incident.

It can be seen that this is a large and modern city. Apparently, we will have to come here at least once in any way, since apart from Loro Parque we have not seen anything.

We still had a couple of hours to spare, walked a little around the city in the port area.

A successful day in Tenerife!

In Tenerife, I really wanted to go to Loro Parque. The friend didn’t mind. I knew before the cruise that you can take a regular bus, for a long time. We found a married couple from Yaroslavl on the ship, who were knocked out for a taxi ride. The price at the berth is fixed – 50 EUR. For four it is quite normal, because. the bus costs 5.

We arrived in 50 minutes, we also made a couple of stops for photos with beautiful views. Uncle the driver was hospitable. He immediately offered to take us back, but we did not know how long it would take us, incl. refused. Then he offered to call him on his cell, like – Walk as much as you want, I’ll drive up at the right time. Deal.

The park is amazing! This is amazing! Handsome, very well maintained. It is immediately evident that it is kept with love. We managed to do all the shows, though running and running. First, the dolphin show at 11:00, they ran from it to the killer whale show at 11:45, then the fur seal show at 12:30. Parrot show at 14:00. They walked around the entire park. I really liked the penguinarium. And you don’t need to go to Antarctica!

So imperceptibly 4 hours flew by in the park. Called the driver, arrived in 15 minutes. Apparently somewhere here taxied.

Approaching the city, they asked us to drop us off at the Auditorio de Tenerife building. In half an hour we just reached the port along the embankment through the beautiful Plaza de Espana.

A successful day in Tenerife! And the weather was wonderful, a little cloudy, 20 degrees. It is a pity that we did not have time to go to the town of La Laguna, everyone likes it.

Cruise date – February 2010

Liner:

beautiful volcanic island

Traveled around the island in a rented car. IMHO, the best option! In the northwest of Tenerife, there are the remains of an old volcano, which centuries of erosion has turned into a very picturesque mountain range.

In the center of it is the village of Masca, to which a serpentine road leads. Let me tell you right now – not for the faint of heart! But beautiful!

In the center of the island one of the most massive island volcanoes in the world rises proudly – Teide Peak, the last eruption of which was only a couple of hundred years ago, that is, just about by geological standards! The peak itself is quite good, even a cable car leads to its top, up to a height of 3600 meters.

The Teide offers sweeping views of a barren world of rust-red craters and black lava flows framed by fluffy ocean clouds. The cold at the top in winter is terrible there, it often snows and the wind just knocks you down!

Molten lava flows, cooling down and shrinking, formed bizarre patterns of cracks. Over time, erosion exposes the basalt and local tourism departments are happy to “unwind” new attractions. Let’s say this miracle of nature is positioned as a “stone rose”…

An undoubted and somewhat unexpected plus for us in Tenerife turned out to be that the slopes of the volcanoes are overgrown with a gorgeous pine forest, which is very nice to walk through! There are also steep climbing trails to choose from, as well as gentle foresters’ roads traversing the slopes.

In general, the Canaries, by Spanish standards, do not shine with the delights of architecture, and the coast is often ugly, functional and overpopulated. But there are also quite nice places in the old colonial style. In Tenerife, I can recommend La Orotava.

Hello friends! We are starting to tell you about the cities of the island of Tenerife and the first will be its capital – Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Let’s find out the history of the city, how to get to it, get an idea of the most interesting places worth visiting and develop a plan for visiting the capital for a tourist. Let’s get started!

A bit of history

In order to get acquainted with the city in general terms, we will describe its history, known and written a thousand times on many sites. We will not deviate from traditions, the capital is the capital. The history of Santa Cruz (Spanish for Holy Cross), as such, begins as a small fishing village, which during the 16th century became an important port due to its location in the closed harbor of La Laguna. In the next century, the city becomes the administrative center, and in the following – the capital of the entire archipelago.

It should be noted that since 1927 the city of Santa Cruz (Spanish: Santa Cruz de Tenerife) has not been the only capital of the Canary archipelago. Once every four years, the autonomous parliament changes its place of work and moves to the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spanish: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) on the island.

In 1494, Alonso Fernandez de Lugo landed on the coast of Añaso and hoisted the silver Holy Cross of the conquistadors (conquerors of the territories of the New World, usually impoverished Spanish or Portuguese knights). The province was named after this cross, and the cross itself is still kept in the temple “Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción”

After the arrival of the Spaniards on the island, its development is given a new impetus and trade routes are laid through the archipelago. Due to its location, the Canary Islands were of interest not only to the Spaniards, which led to numerous attacks and attempts to conquer the islands. Until today, the Spaniards honor the most significant victories over the invaders. The three lion heads on the coat of arms of Tenerife represent three major victories: over Admiral Robert Blake in 1657, Admiral John Jennings in 1706 and Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson in 1797.

What to see for a tourist in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The capital is not a tourist resort at all and cannot boast of an abundance of hotels with beautiful pools, because most tourists prefer the southern part of the island with a milder climate for recreation. But for Santa Cruz, you can allocate a day for excursions, shopping and just walking. In the article about the sights of Tenerife, we already wrote about interesting places in the capital that are worth seeing.

Here you will not find a large number of historical monuments as in La Laguna, but there is something to see, the capital after all.

For those interested in churches and temples

Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Spanish: Iglesia de la Concepción) – this is where the Holy Cross of the Conquistadors, which we talked about at the beginning of the article, is kept. Emphasizing the historical significance of the church in the spread of Catholicism, it bears the title “Iglesia Matriz” (Mother Church), and is popularly called the “Cathedral of Santa Cruz”, although it is not a cathedral.

Initially, a small chapel was built on the site of today’s church, later, in its place, the first church in Tenerife was erected and the first parish on the island was formed. The temple until 1638 was called the Church of the Holy Cross (Spanish: Santa Cruz), hence the name of the city. From the square where the temple is located, the construction of today’s capital began.

Church of St. Francis of Assisi

Second in importance, after the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi (Spanish: Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís). It is located near the Museum of Fine Arts (Spanish: Museo Municipal De Bellas Artes).

Masonic Temple

Masonic Temple (Spanish: Templo Masónico de Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is a national architectural monument. The building has been closed for about 26 years, at the moment it is undergoing historical restoration and it will not be possible to get inside. The facade of the building is decorated with sphinxes, and under the roof of the building there is a bas-relief of the Masonic symbol “The All-Seeing Eye”.

Attractions

The symbol of the city and the most recognizable building with unusual architecture is the Auditorio de Tenerife Concert Hall (Spanish: Auditorio de Tenerife), which includes chamber and symphony halls. It was depicted on one of the postage stamps, and the acoustics of the hall is considered one of the best in the world.

Very close to the Auditorio de Tenerife is the old fort Castillo Negro (Spanish: Castillo Negro) or Castillo de San Juan (Spanish: Castillo de San Juan) – the castle of St. John the Baptist, which is of historical importance for cities.

Museums

Fans and those interested in science and history can visit the museums. Especially for them, I would not go, but passing by you can look.

Archaeological Museum of Nature and Man
(Spanish: Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre).
For those who love archeology, geology, fossils and artifacts.

(Spanish: Museo Militar Regional de Canarias).
It is here that the El Tigre cannon is exhibited, the shot of which Nelson lost his right hand (at least, it is commonly believed so).

(Spanish: Tenerife Espacio de las Artes).
Several halls for different types of art (cinema, photography, painting, etc.), as well as a library.

(Spanish: Museo Municipal De Bellas Artes).
Several galleries with a wide variety of exhibits. There are also various exhibitions.

Squares and parks

Plaza de España, Plaza de España

Plaza de España (Spanish: Plaza de España) is the main and largest square in the Canary Islands. It was built on the site of the castle of San Cristobal, the walls of which have survived to this day and can be admired in the underground gallery.

The central element of the Plaza de España is a monument – a tower (Spanish: Monumento de los Caidos) in the form of a cross with a viewing platform at the top, dedicated to those who died during the civil war. Under the monument is an empty underground chapel, and next to it is a group of sculptures and a huge lake with sea water and a fountain.

The consecration of the entire area is made in the form of garlands with lamps that look like falling drops of water. An integral part of the square is the Avenue of the Duke of St. Helena (Spanish: Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena), planted with trees.

Plaza de la Candelaria

Plaza de la Candelaria (Spanish: Plaza de la Candelaria) is the second square located near Plaza de España. There is a monument to the patroness of the Canary archipelago – the Holy Virgin of Candelaria, dating from the 18th century. Initially, the statue consisted of nine figures – four statues of the Guanches (indigenous local residents of the island) guarding the Virgin Mary, four small angels riding dolphins and the Virgin Mary herself with a baby in her arms. During restoration at 1928, the angels were removed from the composition due to severe damage inflicted by English soldiers in 1825.

Garcia Sanabria Park, Parque Garcia Sanabria

Garcia Sanabria Park (Spanish: Parque Garcia Sanabria) is the largest city park, botanical garden and favorite meeting place for residents of the capital. There is also a flowerbed with the “Flower Clock” and alleys with sculptures of the last century, and in the central square with a fountain there are sculptures of the mayor Garcia Sanabria and Dr. Gigo, thanks to whom this park was created.

La Granja Park, Parque de La Granja

La Granja Park (Spanish: Parque de La Granja) is an excellent park with a playground, several sculptures, attractions and sports equipment.

Park Palmetum, Palmetum

Park Botanical Garden Palmetum (Spanish: Palmetum), built on a former city dump, today is a great place for walking and relaxing. About 400 species of palm trees from all over the world are grown in the park, many of which are on the verge of extinction. On the official website you can visit the park in 3-D mode
.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday

11:00 to 14:00 (last entry at 13:15)

16:00 to 18:00 (last entry at 17:15)

Ticket price:

EUR 4 for adults

EUR 2. 80 for children under 12

Shops and shopping

We already had a site where we mentioned the main shopping centers of the capital.

Santa Cruz Huge Shopping Center

El Corte Inglés Trading House

Meridiano (Centro Comersial Meridiano) – a classic shopping center with a cinema

Calle de Castillo is not far from Plaza Espanya and Candelaria. This is a pedestrian street with many shops, among which you can find branded things. When planning walks in the capital and this street in particular, do not forget about the siesta, most shops and government offices are closed during the daytime from about 13:00 to 16:30 – 17:00.

Entertainment in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Most of the bars and restaurants in the capital are focused on local residents, not tourists. This is reflected both in the hours of operation and in the proposed menu of establishments, so here you will not find a vibrant nightlife.

However, every year, for two weeks in February, the Canarians forget about work and a measured lifestyle and plunge into the festive atmosphere of the carnival. A large number of tourists come to the capital, the streets are flooded with crowds of people, divided into two categories. The first is the official participants of the carnival: musicians, costumed dance and vocal groups, up to fifty groups and more than a hundred associations. The second group is ordinary spectators, city dwellers and tourists.

Preparations begin immediately after the end of the previous carnival, various choreographic festivals, competitions are held throughout the year, and the theme of the upcoming holiday is being developed.

The celebrations themselves are divided into several stages:

The choice of the Carnival Queen (Spanish: Gala de Eleccion de la Reina) is a grandiose performance broadcast throughout the country.

The first procession is an open event called the heralding cavalcade (Spanish: Cabalgata Anunciadora), which announces the arrival of carnival in the city. Tickets for this procession are not needed, people will walk the streets of the city like a multi-colored snake and rejoice at the beginning of the holidays.

– the key event of the holiday, which is not to be missed. It will last more than four hours, end with fireworks and festivities until the morning.

Burial of the sardine (Spanish: Entierro de la Sardina) symbolizes the end of the carnival – an ironic procession with a huge cardboard stuffed sardine, which is burned on the square, in general, the Spanish “Pancake Week”.

City beach of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Most of the coast of Santa Cruz is occupied by the port and there is absolutely nowhere to swim. Therefore, it is considered urban (Spanish: Playa de las Teresitas), located a few kilometers from the capital in the town of San Andres. A barrier pier has been built along the beach, so there are practically no waves there and the water warms up faster.

Playa de las Teresitas is the only beach on the island with golden sand brought from the Sahara in the 70s. The beach is wide, well-equipped and has a length of about 1200 meters. The only thing I don’t like there is the constant wind and fine sand in the face (perhaps we were so lucky with the weather).

You can get from the city to it by car or public transport.

Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is considered to be the largest port in Tenerife and the second largest port in Spain. It leads in terms of passenger traffic, is the largest fishing port in the Canary Islands, and thanks to it, communication is maintained not only with the rest of the islands of the Canary archipelago, but also with mainland Spain.

How to get to the capital

Of course, Santa Cruz can be reached by car via the TF-1 highway from the south of the island and TF-5 from the north. From the south, from the Las Americas bus station, there are also regular buses 110 (express) and 111, which will take you to the capital in just an hour and a half.

In the video you can see the main sights and see Santa Cruz de Tenerife from a bird’s eye view.

Of course, this is not all that is in Santa Cruz, but only the most basic. In the future, we will talk about other interesting places, so do not miss the updates of our blog. And finally, you can download
the official tourist map of the city.

As for the capital status of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Canarians have not been able to resolve this issue for centuries. The dispute is between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, the two largest islands in the archipelago. Santa Cruz de Tenerife was founded in 1494, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria a little earlier, in 1478. As a result of the dispute, the two cities are the capitals of their islands, and the capital of the entire archipelago is transferred every two years from one to another, can you imagine? In 2016, Santa Cruz rules the ball, and in the next – already La Palma.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife will be a pleasant place for residents of big cities who are accustomed to comfortable apartments, traffic noise, boulevards and sidewalks. The population of the city is about 220 thousand people, by Russian standards it is not a very large city, but here it is the largest. In Tenerife, it is easy to get tired of the provinciality of numerous villages, so if you are looking for a holiday in a mild climate, but with a familiar urban landscape, the presence of museums and shopping centers, cinemas and a large selection of cafes and restaurants, stay in Santa Cruz. Tenerife is famous for its natural attractions, such as the active volcano Teide, creepy but beautiful Masca and Inferno gorges, it is easy to get there from the capital. Today we will tell you more about how to fill your vacation without leaving Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

History of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Landing in Tenerife, you find yourself on one of the oldest islands in the world and immediately feel: this place is special. It is believed that the Canary Islands “grew” from the depths of the ocean during the sinking of Atlantis. When this happened and whether Atlantis really existed, no one knows for sure, but it is known for certain that 2000 years ago, the Guanches, the legendary pioneers of these lands, settled on the site of Santa Cruz. The Silver Holy Cross (Santa Cruz) was erected here by the Spanish conquistadors in 1494, which is considered the year of foundation of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This cross can now be seen in the Museum of Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción. The capital of the island was originally the port city of Garachico in the northwest, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Teide in 1706. No residents of Garachico were hurt, but the administrative center had to be moved to Santa Cruz, and this changed the pace of development on the eastern tip of the island.

After the Spanish colonization, Tenerife was repeatedly attacked by the British, Danes and other Europeans. Many battles took place in Santa Cruz, but the city was never taken by the enemy.

Peaceful today Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a city of military glory, on the coat of arms of which you will see three leopards, meaning three victories over the British invaders in the local port – in 1657, 1706 and 1797.

is a sight of all Spain. It is the second largest in the world after the famous carnival in Rio. This tradition was brought here by the Spaniards from the continent, or rather, from Cadiz. Annual festivities take place all over the island, but it is in the capital that the costume show is organized at the highest level. All events that take place in the first week of February are completely free. Election of the queen of the carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife from local beauties, the first procession of the queen, the main procession along the promenade (Gran Coso Apoteosis) and the comic “burial of the sardine” in the final – the main theme of the carnival. All residents and tourists take to the streets, in costumes and without, walk and dance until the morning, watch competitions of street musicians and dancers, orchestra performances, concerts and performances throughout the city.

As part of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there is always a children’s costume procession, a parade of vintage cars, and a temporary amusement park is set up on the waterfront. At this time, cafes and restaurants have a special menu at very attractive prices.

Shops in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

What to do in Santa Cruz for the rest of the year, except for Easter week? There are two more important dates to know! The periods of seasonal sales, when discounts reach 70% on everything, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife are the same as on the continent: from January 6 to February 30 and from July 1 to August 30, prices will pleasantly surprise you. Not far from the city center is a large commercial center El Corte Ingles. This Spanish chain of stores is distinguished by a high-quality selection of goods and manufacturers. There is convenient parking, bars and restaurants, a grocery store, souvenirs and 7 floors of clothing and footwear stores, perfumes, sportswear and equipment, in general, shopping for every taste.

Going shopping in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Court Inglés, you will find Spanish clothing brands of excellent quality, but not too expensive: Adolfo Domingues, Carolina Hererra, Roberto Verino, Purficacion Garcia.
