Winter in Québec is incomplete without the Carnaval, which typically runs from late January to early February over a span of 17 days. Over the course of Carnaval, guests can experience the historic city of Québec through the lens of celebration. Carnaval is the largest winter festival in the world, attracting over a million tourists and citizens annually. For children in Québec, Carnaval is comparable to Christmas. Many of the symbols of Carnaval are among the most important to Québecois children, specifically Bonhomme Carnaval. This festival is a crucial part of Canada’s economic prosperity as well, having been re-developed in the 1950s to specifically facilitate the economy following The Great Depression. Québec is one of the few walled cities left on the continent, and considered a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the years, Carnaval has adapted to attract more people and immerse attendants in a full Canadian experience, but its French roots are always a central focus.

The roots of this all-out winter festival stem back to the colonial period of New France in this region. Originally, the Carnaval was an event to celebrate the end of winter and feast before Lent. Mardi Gras, a French cultural tradition in modern-day Louisiana, has similar origins as a festival of feasting before Lent (Mardi Gras is the topic of next week’s blog, so make sure to check back for all the details). Carnvaval is an annual event that first began in 1894. However, it was interrupted by both World Wars. After that, the Great Depression halted all excessive rituals which would have been too expensive for the government, which was already dealing with a diminishing economy. In 1954, the Carnaval made a massive re-entrance into the field of festivals. The initial desire was to increase the economy following the Great Depression. Eventually, though, the Carnaval became a way to bring tourists to Québec and give them an immersive and memorable experience.

Ice Palace of Bonhomme

Fundraising is an important part of planning for the Carnaval, which is why the government encourages entrepreneurs to introduce ideas through the Duchess Competition. Originally, this competition was used to elect the 7 most beautiful women in Québec (one from each district). The 7 women were then put into the final round of competition and the winner was elected Queen of the Québec Carnaval. Now, 7 female entrepreneurs are selected (one from each district) and asked to present their fundraising proposals to the city. The entrepreneur with the best proposal then wins the honor to oversee fundraising for the overall event.

2005 Effigy

One of the most crucial components of Carnaval is the large snowman mascot, named Bonhomme (short for Bonhomme de neige, or snowman) Carnaval. According to some sources, Bonhomme is just as adored with Québecois children as Santa Claus. Bonhomme, pictured below, traditionally wears a red hat, black buttons, and a traditional French Canadian ceinture fléchée (or arrowed sash). Allegedly, Bonhomme is given the key to the city and exerts total control over Québec for the 17 days of the festival. The 7-foot-tall snowman was declared as the mascot of Carnaval in 1955. Since then, an effigy has been recreated every year as both a souvenir and the admission key. Effigies are small ornament-like souvenirs that depict Bonhomme in some way (see the 2005 effigy below)and act as tickets into any Carnaval event. Each year a new effigy is developed. The effigies are purchased on opening night, which also has other festivities including live French music and a fireworks display. Models of Bonhomme’s arrow sash are also a hot commodity with guests of the Carnaval.

Bonhomme dancing on his Float

Once the Carnaval is underway, the schedule is packed full of engaging activities for visitors. Snow sculptures are one of the most iconic attractions of the Carnaval, and professional sculptors can be seen creating these sculptures along the streets and in open fields. Although a winter-long activity, ice skating at Place d’Youville is a must-do activity. Children and adults skate on the frozen pond in front of the historical building. The pond remains open from mid-November until mid-March. Bonhomme’s Ice Palace, his official place of residence, is a large ice-sculpture castle that is open for tours during the day. At night, it becomes a night-club and houses some of the largest parties of the festival. The fairgrounds, which cover the Plains of Abraham, contain popular fair rides like the Ferris wheel, slides, and bouncy houses. As always, a Québec winter twist is added to the attraction with activities such as snow rafting and interactive games. One of the most popular interactive games is human foosball.

Parades throughout the historic city of Québec occur both during the day and the evening. The streets of Québec are covered with decorations, including lights and flags from both Canada and Québec, which line the path for parades of floats and people. Various dance parties occur throughout the city as well, the most popular being in Bonhomme’s Ice Palace. A Masquerade Ball is held annually at the Château Frontenac. The Plains of Abraham, a historic site of Québec, is home to an annual sleigh ride and dog sled race. Lumberjack and Viking Competitions also occur in the city, celebrating traditional winter activities. One of the most insane challenges at the Carnaval is the Snow Bath Challenge, which sees visitors in bathing suits covering themselves in snow to see “who can bear the harsh cold of Québec.”

Queues de Castor – Beaver Tails

Food is an important part of the Carnaval, where local vendors sell popular winter treats. Among these are Queues de Castor (or Beaver Tails), which are long donut-like treats covered in frosting and candy toppings. These are comparable to fried dough at US fairs. Maple taffy is often presented as a make-it-yourself event, in which visitors can pour maple syrup into blocks of ice. Poutine is also a famous Canadian dish available at the Carnaval. These French fries, which have been smothered in gravy and topped with cheese curds, are even popular in the Northeastern United States. Tourtière, a French-Canadien meat pie (commonly known as pork pie in New England) popular during the winter months, is also a Carnaval treat sold by many vendors. Caribou is a traditional Carnaval drink. Caribou is composed of 3 parts wine, 1 part liquor (usually a spirit) and shots of maple sugar and syrup and often served in glass made from ice. Throughout the Carnaval, many vendors set up to sell other foods as well, both Canadian traditional foods and international cuisine. Obviously, the Carnaval of 2021 will be different, but the history of Carnaval is still rich with brilliant cultural traditions and gems.

5 Cool Facts About the Quebec Winter Carnival

It’s the world’s oldest Winter Carnival, the largest Winter Carnival in the Western hemisphere, and it attracts one million visitors annually!

Le Carnaval de Québec is one of our top student group travel destinations and events! Hosted in one of Canada’s most charming cities and UNESCO World Heritage Sites nonetheless, Québec City is the perfect fairy-tale location for anyone studying French or wanting to get out of their comfort zone on a winter student trip. And if you’re thinking about how cold it’ll be, think again! You’ll be moving around and layering up so much, you’ll never even be feeling the cold at Carnival.

Here’s a taste of what makes the annual Québec City Winter Carnival so cool (pun intended)!

The tradition of having a mid-winter celebration in Québec can be traced back to the history of colonial New France (1534-1763), when family and friends would gather in January to mid-February to break the boredom and deep freeze of winter. In classic French-Canadian tradition, the settlers of New-France would celebrate with a massive feast, live music, foot tapping and gigues (traditional French-Canadian dances). This annual celebration in the deepest and darkest of the winter months would eventually lead to Québec’s first large-scale snow festival in 1894.

Interrupted through the years by both World Wars and the Great Depression, the festivities resurfaced sporadically until 1954, when a group of businessmen from Québec decided to revive and modernize the Québec Winter Carnival to attract visitors and help promote the economic development of the region. The rest, as we say, is history!

1. The Mascot: Bonhomme Carnaval

It was during the first ‘’modern’’ edition of the Carnival in 1955, that Bonhomme Carnaval, the official mascot and ambassador of the festivities, was first introduced to the public.

Bonhomme, short for bonhomme de neige (snowman) is quite hard to miss! Dressed of only a red tuque (beanie), black buttons and a ceinture fléchée (arrowhead sash), if it’s not his impressive size that catches your eye (seven-foot-tall and four-hundred-pounds, to be exact), it’s his incredible personality that incarnates ‘’la joie de vie’’ (love of life), a motto that is near and dear to Quebecers. He is such a celebrity, that every mayor of Québec City since 1955 has handed him a key to the city during the opening ceremonies of the Carnival.

Making regular appearances all through Carnival, your best chances to see him are on the final float of the Saturday evening parades, or in his house, the Ice Palace. If you’re lucky, you might even stumble upon him practicing his signature high kicks move or singing his signature song ‘’Salut Bonhomme’’!

2. L’Effigie: The Official Carnival Passport

For full access to the Carnival sites, you will need to purchase the official effigie du Carnaval (effigy), a pendant that you attach to your coat or backpack, that goes for about $15 CAD. The effigy, just like the Ice Palace, changes its design annually but one thing remains, Bonhomme Carnaval’s lovely white face and red tuque appear on every single model since its first edition in 1955.

Fun fact, famous Québécois wood carver, Alphonse Paré, whose artwork is featured at the Vatican Museum, created all 15 first editions of the Carnival effigies. These effigies, which are now considered collectibles, and every other version since 1955, are displayed at the Atelier Paré Woodcarving Museum in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. You can go visit the museum located in Alphonse Paré’s former workshop, just 5 minutes away from the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica on Québec’s magnificent Beaupré Coast.

3. Memorabilia: The Arrowhead Sash and Trumpet

No memorabilia, other than the effigies, are quite as popular as the arrow sash and the Carnival trumpet. You’ll see and hear them all through the Old Walled City, before, during, and after Carnival.

The arrowhead sashes were traditionally used by the coureurs des bois (translates to the “runners of the woods”), independent entrepreneurial French-Canadian traders who would travel solo through North America to trade European items for animal furs with First Nations. The arrow sash was attached around the waist to hold furs, food, and other items inside the traders’ coats, while preventing the cold from penetrating inside. It was also used as a tumpline, an emergency rope, a key holder, and as a mark of distinction and origin. Historic fur trade companies, such as the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company were known to have branded their sashes respectively red and blue, while the Métis were the first to mix the colours together to make their own distinctive sashes.

It is largely because of the Carnaval de Québec and the Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg, which celebrates the history of fur trade, Métis culture and the French language, that the arrowhead sash can still be seen in French-Canadian and Métis culture today.

As for the hard-to-miss trumpets, they are long, they are red or blue, and they can produce up to 114 decibels! You’ll hear them along rue Saint-Jean, Grande-Allée, during the parades… and basically at any celebration Quebec has other than the Carnival. They’re just great at getting a crowd going, what can we say!

4. Keeping Traditions Alive: The Ice Canoe Race

If you’re looking for an authentic Carnival experience that’s a little more fast paced and intense, then look no further! The annual ice canoe race is everything you should expect from an extreme winter sport. It’s epic and you won’t want to miss it!

The race holds its origins from First Nations and settlers of New-France who would make canoes out of birch bark to transport living essentials, like food and medicine, across the river during the winter months. Although the St-Lawrence River freezes at the tip of Quebec City and can create a natural ice bridge (Québec’s name originates from the Algonquin word Kébec, meaning ‘’where the river narrows’’), most areas along the mighty St-Lawrence River are unattainable without a canoe. Nowadays, with modern technology for transportation and communication between shores, all that remains is a highly entertaining sport for Carnaval goers to attend!

The race consists of forty teams battling it out in three categories: competition – men, competition – women, and general participation, where teams use large dimension canoes to cross from Québec City to Lévis (approximately 3.2 km). Because the event takes place in the middle of the St-Lawrence river, conditions can vary a lot! On perfect condition days, races can last as little as 23 minutes. On windy and snowy days, where wild icebergs start rolling in, it can take much longer with participants having to pull their canoes on the icebergs and avoiding being carried away by the current.

Presented every year since 1955, the Ice Canoe Race is the activity that attracts the biggest crowds throughout Carnival. The location of the race, right at the bottom of Cap Diamant, the highest point of the city, allows for spectators to watch from every angle. Visitors usually check the race out from atop Terrasse Dufferin, from the windows of their hotel room at the Château Frontenac, or from the riverside right next to Le Petit Champlain and Place Royale. The race typically falls on every second Saturday of the Carnival, so check the schedule if you plan on catching the race during your student trip!

5. The Classics: Ice Palace, Parades, and Ice Slides!

Other classic Carnival activities include visiting Bonhomme Carnaval’s home, the Ice Palace! Located across the street from the Québec Parliament Building, it is where the opening ceremonies are held. Built out of 2000 blocks of ice that weigh around 300 pounds, the design of the castle changes every edition. In past years, the Palace has included a spa area, Bonhomme’s office, a reception room, a museum room with artifacts from previous editions, a children’s playroom, a gym…. And all of that, in the shape of a snowflake. Talk about craftsmanship!

The Winter Carnival stretches out over 17 days and features a night parade every Saturday night. The parade itself passes by in about 30 minutes, featuring an array of floats with singers, jugglers, and marching bands, before closing out with Bonhomme himself. The floats usually highlight Québec wildlife, music, and culture. It’s a must for any Carnival itinerary, so bundle up, find a good spot, and get ready to dance the winter cold away!

Your effigy also includes access to all other Carnival sites spread across Old Québec, the Plains of Abraham and along Grande-Allée, where you can participate in lumberjack games, try out some ice slides, view snow sculpture artists at work, and so on.

The 69th edition of Carnaval de Québec will take place in January to February. The official dates for 2023 have yet to be confirmed, but you can still get started and begin planning today!

Guadeloupe Carnival is a major cultural event in the island and is celebrated over three months each year, starting in early winter and officially ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday which is the official start of Lent.

What is the date of the Guadeloupe Carnival? The 2022 Guadeloupe Carnival dates officially begins on Sunday the 6th January which is the epiphany and ends on Shrove Tuesday, March 1, 2022. The main carnival events are the one that occur in the few days prior to Shrove Tuesday.

Where is Guadeloupe?

Guadeloupe is a gorgeous Caribbean island with year-round sun, pristine beaches and where a laid-back vibe fuses with French suaveness. Guadeloupe is a French island in the Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean.

It comprises of five main islands located in the Caribbean Sea in between Antigua and Dominica. The capital is Basse Terre where most of the carnival activities occur.

What is Guadeloupe Carnival?

Guadeloupe Carnival is an incredibly rich carnival celebration that embraces centuries worth of tradition and heritage. Guadeloupe Carnival is a crazy season of celebrating that is filled with music, dance, costumes, decorations, food, drink, parades, parties and sharing beignets a delicious French donut.

The Guadeloupe Carnival is one of the most important festivals on the island. This event is not just popular with locals but also attracts lots of tourists to this gorgeous Caribbean island to celebrate carnival.

History of Guadeloupe Carnival?

The origins of Guadeloupean carnival began back when the early European settlers introduced carnival to the island back in the 17th century. The original carnival celebrations were private parties and masquerade balls that were held before the onset of Lent.

These early carnival celebrations did not allow for slaves and in fact the slaves were not even allowed to assemble together, a law that was in place in 1685 by the French King.

When slavery was abolished in 1848 the freed people seized this celebration and began to organise their own carnival celebrations called Negro Balls or bals Nègres, these carnival celebrations grew so large and eventually spilled onto the streets becoming public carnival celebrations.

The carnival evolved and began to embrace more Caribbean culture and become uniquely Guadeloupean with some minor European traditions.

How is Guadeloupean Carnival celebrated?

Today Guadeloupean carnival is celebrated through many different events. There are song and dance contests, costumed parades, street parties, the popular crowning of the queen, live music performances and lots of feasting and drinking!

However, it is the three parades that occur between Shrove Sunday and Ash Wednesday which are the peak of Guadeloupean Carnival and occur on the three biggest days of celebration and jubilation.

Groupes à peau

Guadeloupean Carnival officially begins on the 1st January with a parade called “groupes à peau,” which is all about the participants bringing offerings to the sea. This is a tradition that is about leaving the past year and all its issues behind you and attempting for better luck in the new year.

Guadeloupean carnival groups

The Guadeloupean carnival groups spend months of hard work planning for the Guadeloupean Carnival parades. The planning that goes into selecting a carnival theme and then creating intricate dance routines, elaborate floats and beautiful colourful carnival costumes is intense.

The Guadeloupean carnival groups compete in the Guadeloupe Carnival Parades for prestige and cash prizes. The groups are judged on who has the best music, the best float, best costumes, best décor and the main prize on who is the overall best Guadeloupean Carnival Group.

Dimanche Gras – Fat Sunday

Dimanche Gras is a parade is held on Shrove Sunday in Guadeloupe’s largest city Pointe-à-Pitre. The Dimanche Gras features a large procession with over fifty different carnival groups from all over the island performing in the parade.

More than 100,000 people come out to witness this parade. It is a majestic parade with incredibly colourful costumes and perfectly orchestrated dance routines and music. The parade starts in the afternoon and runs till late evening.

The streets are full of excited revellers who don masks and costumes themselves and roam around with lots of festive spirit. This parade is when the Carnival Queen and Vaval makes an appearance.

Lundi Gras – Fat Monday

On Fat Monday first thing in the morning is a pyjama parade that is held across Guadeloupe in the early morning that unlike the previous parade is a spontaneous procession. Anyone who wants can participate they are just required to wear their pyjamas, dance and have fun!

Rose Monday also sees two amazing evening parades in Guadeloupe’s capital city Basse-Terre and Saint-François. These are two incredible evening parades that are light parades. Every costume and float has been created to light up the night.

Lundi Gras is also the day of burlesque weddings. Today is when you will see many couples cross dress in each other’s clothing. So, don’t be surprised to see men walking around in dresses.

Mardi Gras – Fat Tuesday

Mardi Gras which is held on Fat Tuesday also known as Shrove Tuesday is the biggest day of partying and celebrations. The biggest parade is held in Guadeloupe’s capital city Basse-Terre. It is also when the famous Red Devils accompany the floats.

What is vaval?

Vaval is the Guadeloupean Carnival King he is actually a satirical mannequin that generally represents a public figure. He is featured in all the parades. The Carnival Queen is a real woman who is selected from various villages and is always seated beside Vaval in the parades.

Burning the Carnival King

What makes Guadeloupe carnival super unique is the Ash Wednesday celebrations. On Ash Wednesday the revellers are all dressed up in black and white clothing as a sign of mourning. This is a stark contrast to the previous Guadeloupean Carnival Celebrations which saw an explosion of colour.

All the Guadeloupe Carnival celebrations end on Ash Wednesday after the funeral for Vaval the Guadeloupean Carnival King. Vaval is burnt at the end of the funeral while everybody sings in Creole “Vaval ka kité nou” which translates to “Vaval leaves us”, some of the audience pretend to cry and carnival is officially over.

Mid-Lent Thursday

After the Guadeloupean Carnival everything on the island gets pretty calm and quiet until Easter with one exception. There is one day in between called Mid-Lent Thursday which falls halfway between Ash Wednesday and Easter (20 days after the beginning of Lent).

Mid-Lent Thursday is a public holiday in Guadeloupe and allows all the people who have been ‘good for Lent’ to revive the Guadeloupean Carnival Spirit but only for one day and there is little twist as revellers must depict themselves as devils and dress up in red and black costumes.

How to get to Guadeloupe?

Flying is the best way to reach Guadeloupe. Pointe-a-Pitre International Airport is serviced by many major airlines. It is also possible to reach Guadeloupe by boat from some of the other close by Caribbean islands.

Once you’re on the island there are many ways to get around boat, bus, car, and even domestic flights to the other islands.

Where to stay in Guadeloupe?

Most accommodation are small hotels and guest houses that are locally owned and operated. Whether you want a stunning beach front location nestled amid the palm trees, or a private villa or some eco-tourism there are plenty of places to suit all accommodation requirements.

Nice Carnival 2022 / Insider Guide to the Carnaval de Nice, by ICONIC RIVIERA

The Nice Carnival alone justifies a stay in Nice. Every February, the city of Nice celebrates with this glitzy event. Nice’s carnival is world-famous and attracts nearly one million visitors of all nationalities every year. It’s the largest winter event on the Riviera and a must-see.

The Carnival draws its inspiration from traditional themes as well as and political and social events, with a healthy dose of satire — everything is exaggerated. Each year is a different theme.

The streets are full day and night with stalls selling gifts: Provencal items, lavender, brightly colored fabrics, and food.

Nice Carnival’s History

The earliest record of the Nice Carnival goes back to the Middle Ages. The year 1294, to be exact, where the Count of Provence created the “joyous days of carnival,” making the Nice Carnival the very-first carnival celebration.

Originally a pagan festival, “Carne levare, levamen” (“remove the flesh”) – the most common definition of Carnival – takes place before the Lent period, during the fat days (Mardi-gras). It is the last party before a period of abstinence and lean cooking, which therefore justifies all the excesses.

A committee was created in 1873, and in 1876 the first flower parade took place on Promenade des Anglais. Alphonse Karr came up with the concept for the first battle of flowers in 1876. This French writer of German origin, passionate about flowers and living in Nice, wanted a show where people could throw scent bouquets on their faces.

In 1876, Alphonse Karr and Andriot Saëtone created the first battle of flowers on the Promenade des Anglais. The masquerades, satire floats, and competitions followed.

It was during the Belle-Epoque that the Nice Carnival reached its peak: it was then the biggest carnival in the world.

Nice Carnival 2022 Program

There are four main events. All the parades take place in the same small loop (there’s a map at the bottom of this page) around the ‘Jardin Albert 1er’ gardens. Here’s the map: The floats start from Place Masséna . On the square, visual entertainment will be relayed on giant screens.

2022 theme: “King of Animals” (And yes, it’s super-sexist that they always have a male-focused theme starting with “King of…”. We hope this changes in the future.)

The Big Carnival Parade: ‘Parada Nissarda’

This is the big daytime parade. Roughly 20 floats, 50 giant puppets (with a new theme each year) and many musical bands from all around the world, parade down Nice’s streets, in a colorful and festive atmosphere. Floats and (frankly, inappropriate) burlesques parade, are accompanied by elements of animation, street art, and international musical groups.

2022 Schedule:
- Sunday, February 20 at 2:30pm

The Carnival’s Battle-of-Flowers Parades

A carnival queen (elected by the festival committee) and her runners-up open each flower battle on her chariot. French and foreign musical groups join the parade and create the musical atmosphere.

Models, lavishly made up and dressed in gleaming costumes of feathers, sequins and rhinestones, throw bouquets of flowers (around 100,000 flowers, to be exact) to the public. The float decorations are made by hand, using petals of thousands of flowers, glued one by one, in the night and the morning before each “battle”. Beautiful, but like the burlesque show, it’s slightly sexist (all the models are female) and cut flowers come with a high environmental cost.

The battles (Bataille de Fleurs) began in 1856, specifically aimed to entertain the foreign visitors who were beginning to flock to the south of France. The parade gives tribute to the local flower producers. It highlights the diversity of flowers in the French Riviera as over 80% of the flowers are locally produced, but they’re grown in glass houses out-of-season, using pesticides, so it’s not exactly eco-friendly.

2022 Schedules:
- Saturday, February 12 at 2:30pm
- Wednesday, February 16 at 2:30pm
- Saturday, February 19 at 2:30pm
- Wednesday, February 23 at 2:30pm
- Saturday, February 26 at 2:30pm

The Carnival’s Lights Parade

The Nice Carnival Parade of Lights event is an unparalleled visual display. In the evening, come and watch the carnival floats light up and cast incredible moving lights the heart of Nice to the rhythm of musical bands and visual entertainment.

2022 Schedules:
- Saturday, February 12 at 9pm
- Tuesday, February 15 at 9pm
- Saturday, February 19 at 9pm
- Tuesday, February 22 at 9pm
- Saturday, February 26 at 9pm (‘Incineration of the King’ / grand finale, with visual animations broadcast on large screens)

Finale: Incineration of the King & Fireworks

As people who care about the environment, we want to say upfront that we think this event is outdated and should no longer be a part of the Carnival. The fire contributes to climate change and is very polluting, the confetti and silly string poisons and chokes sea life and birds, and the fireworks are extremely damaging to wildlife and the environment. We urge you to also speak out about these issues.

Since 1882, a giant ‘King’ has stood upon the royal float to signal the beginning of the festivities, an important moment during the Nice Carnival. Throughout the Carnival, the King remains in the Place Masséna, where all of the parades begin, overseeing the events. On the final night of the carnival, a burning effigy of the King is put on a little boat in the Bay of Angels and pushed out to sea as fireworks explode above him.

Tens of thousands of revelers gather in Place Massena to escort the Carnival King to the sea. Loud music plays and there is dancing in the streets. Silly String and confetti fly everywhere.

The giant King Carnival puppet is then set on fire, followed by an impressive fireworks display set to music over the Baie des Anges . Legend has it that by burning the King, he will then rise again next year from the ashes to reign once again during the Carnival.

2022 Schedule:
- Saturday, February 26 at 9pm (‘Incineration of the King’ / grand finale, with visual animations broadcast on large screens)

About Fireworks: As much as we want everyone to have fun at the Nice Carnival, we do not think that the noise from fireworks are a good thing, because fireworks are harmful to human health and very destructive to birds and wildlife. In Italy, they have made their fireworks silent and have set them to classical music. We hope that everywhere else will soon follow suit.

Carnival | it’s… What is Carnival?

This term has other meanings, see Carnival (meanings).

Carnival in Dunkirk. France, 2008

Jan Mil. Carnival in Rome , 1653. Prado

Carnival (etymology unknown) is a holiday associated with dressing up, masquerades and colorful processions, celebrated before Lent. It is similar to the Slavic Maslenitsa or Myasopust among the Catholic Slavs (see Fat Tuesday). It is distributed mainly in Catholic countries and goes back to the pagan customs of the Roman Empire. It is accompanied by mass folk festivals with street processions and theatrical performances.

Carnival appeared in the 9th-10th centuries. The earliest references to periodic city festivals in various cities of Western Europe date back to this time. The first carnivals appeared in Italy – the Venice Carnival, where large independent cities appeared first of all. Then carnivals appeared in France, and later in Germany: Mainz, Düsseldorf and Cologne.

Etymology

The origin of the word “carnival” is not clear, it is supposed to be connected either with the Italian word “carne” (meat) or with “carrus” (wagon). The first theory assumes a Christian origin, and the second a pagan one.

Derivatives from “carne” point to variants of this word in Italian dialects ^[en] , claiming that the source is the words carne levare “remove meat”, forbidden in Post ^[1] .

There is a version of the origin from the Roman name of the festival Navigium Isidis ^[en] – “carrus navalis” ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] .

Folk etymology – origin of the word from carne vale (farewell to meat) ^[1] .

Celebration

Folk festive forms usually constituted the second, unofficial half of the holiday, while the first was associated with the performance of certain church rituals. Only in the 18th and 19th centuries they separated, and the carnival began to exist as one of the types of mass entertainment.

The main part of any carnival is the procession along the main streets of the city. Its leading motif is abundance, which comes from the ancient harvest festivals. It can be expressed in huge piles of agricultural products, flowers, foods that are fed to everyone. Everything that happens during the procession is emphatically playful. The main figure at the carnival is the jester. He sets the tone for both the procession and the performance, which then unfolds in the central square of the city.

In each city, the carnival developed according to a certain scenario that had developed over many years. The carnival was usually led by city merchant corporations. For example, the organizer of the butter carnival in Nuremberg has traditionally been a corporation of butchers, and in France – winemakers.

The most famous Carnival in the world is held in Rio de Janeiro. Tourists from all over the world come to Brazil for this large-scale holiday, which is carefully prepared throughout the year and includes an assessment of the performances of special large teams through a competitive system.

In the Rhine cities of Germany, such as Cologne and Düsseldorf, carnival is associated with many rituals. Carnival there is the end of the “fifth season”, which begins on November 11 at 11:11 am (11.11. 11:11). Then a carnival committee is created, which selects a prince, a peasant and a girl (Prinz, Bauer und Jungfrau). All three are always played by men. The pinnacle of the carnival is the carnival procession on the first Monday of Lent – Rosenmontag.

Peter’s and Catherine’s Russian court carnivals are known. In modern Russia, in the manner of Western European carnivals, they are held in some cities during processions as part of the celebration of the City Day, separate civil mass carnivals are held in St. , Samara (Samara carnival), Gelendzhik (carnival “Gelendzhik the sun smiles”).

European cities (including some Russian ones) that hold traditional carnivals are united by the Association of European Carnival Cities (FECC).

A brilliant description of the carnival is found in the novel by Francois Rabelais “Gargantua and Pantagruel” .

What is a carnival and why is it called that? | Culture

I’m sure you remember the lines from “Eugene Onegin”:

He knew enough Latin –
To parse epigrams,
Talk about Juvenal,
Put “vale” at the end of the letter. ..

9002 Footnote page that “vale” (lat.) means “goodbye.”

Before the Easter fast in the cities of medieval Catholic Italy, huge holidays were held. Long post ahead. It will be impossible to eat meat, and often fish, it will be impossible to have fun and dance. And all the fun, all the joyful emotions, people were in a hurry to throw out in the last pre-Easter holiday, which was called … translated into Russian will be “Farewell, meat”, and in Latin: “Carne vale”. This “Carne Vale” in Russian has turned into a carnival.

And after the carnival for many weeks, until Easter itself, believers had to lead a righteous life, they should have thought about the soul, prayed, fasted and remembered the exploits of Christian saints, occasionally and slowly remembering what a great time at the carnival.

The general celebration on the eve of Lent took root in Europe, and then, during the colonization of the Americas, it jumped across the Atlantic. True, at first – mainly to Central and South America, they were colonized by Catholic Spain and Portugal.

Protestants colonized North America. English and French. WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) until very recently were considered the basis, the core, it was they who created the United States of America. It was with them that the migration to North America of masses of people who were humiliated in the Old World and who wanted to live in the free world began. And Protestantism and various carnivals there are incompatible.

But there are exceptional territories in the USA too, Florida was originally a French colony, and it was the French who founded New Orleans, and the influence of Catholicism there was very strong.

Time has passed. Today in Europe the most famous carnival takes place in Venice (Carnevale di Venezia). It has a huge history, for the first time to celebrate and dance in Piazza San Marco, the inhabitants of the city gathered in 1094 year. This is a traditional, “real” carnival, with a history of almost a thousand years.

By tradition, it always begins with the descent of an angel into Piazza San Marco (an acrobat descends on a tightrope from the bell tower of the cathedral). All participants of the carnival wear carnival clothes and masks, and mostly traditional costumes of the heroes of the “commedia dell’arte” (Pantalone, Brighello, Truffaldino, Harlequin, Colombina …). At the end of the carnival, which always takes place on Fat Tuesday, the eve of the beginning of Lent, an effigy is traditionally burned and people dance in the square. And then, after the dancing, the carnival ends and Lent begins.

Latin America carnivals have reached a huge scale and have become the hallmark of a number of countries. For example, the famous Brazilian carnival in Rio de Janeiro attracts tourists from all over the world. Moreover, there are special teams of professionals who prepare new masks, costumes, and work out changes in dances all year round. Some locals spend all the money they earn and get into debt just to buy some special carnival costume and, together with all the participants, walk in the column of one of the samba schools.

In Brazil carnivals began only in the 17th century. And the characters of the “commedia dell’arte” here today and does not smell. After the first samba was written in 1917, samba carnivals began here. Several teams representing different samba schools are fighting for the victory, the audience rejoices over all of them, and a special jury of the carnival chooses the winning team.

Teams of samba schools demonstrate their skills on a 700-meter long street specially built for this purpose, which is called the sambadrome. The competition lasts two nights, so, in addition to the ability to dance samba in the style of this school, it is necessary not only to be able to dance well, but also to be very physically resilient.

In Europe, two more countries have their own carnivals – Switzerland and Germany . However, the Swiss carnival is already held during Lent – in its first week. But in Germany they came up with a completely exotic time to start the carnival. The number 11 in Germany is considered the fool’s number. So the festival starts on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11:11 sharp. Both Cologne and Düsseldorf consider themselves the main cities of the German carnival. They compete with each other to make their festival more interesting this year.

So the holiday, once closely associated with religious settings, turned into just a folk festival, costumed marches, fireworks and entertainment. And they have been organizing this for many years, not so much to entertain residents of those cities where carnivals are held, but to attract tourists from all over the world. Business and here tries to take precedence over entertainment.

The tradition of carnivals is rooted in the pagan past of mankind. Historians trace the traditions of celebrating carnivals back to time immemorial and believe that the ancient agricultural rituals of welcoming spring and the beginning of sowing laid the foundation for these popular festivities today. In all archaic cultures, celebrations in honor of the gods of fertility were the central event of the year.
Pre-Christian ideas about the unity of man and nature are preserved in folk holidays. They brightened up the hard life of people, gave them a respite, an opportunity to temporarily escape from the harsh reality of a cruel world with its exhausting work, devastating epidemics and wars, and the constant expectation of punishment from heaven for any sins. An invariable attribute of festivities of this kind was the ritual of returning to the natural state, when a person, intoxicated with wine, music and collective enthusiasm, removed the prohibitions of traditional morality. Such festivities were accompanied by frenzy and were necessary as the most important element of psychological “detente”. Dressing in someone else’s costume, a person violated a certain taboo norm and went beyond the border of the ordinary, everyday world into the sphere of violation of prohibitions, parody, or even entered into relationships with otherworldly forces.

The origin of the word “carnival” is not clear, it is supposed to be related either to the Italian word “carne” (meat) or “carrus” (wagon). Proponents of the derivation from “carne” point to variants of this word in Italian dialects, arguing that the source is the words carne levare “remove meat”, forbidden in Lent. According to another version, the name of this event comes from the name of special platforms in the form of ships – lat. “carrum navalis” (“sea cart”, “ship of festive processions”), on which the participants of saturnalia moved around Ancient Rome.

In the first centuries of our era, ancient paganism in Europe was replaced everywhere by Christianity, with its strict dichotomy of good and evil: the world appeared as an arena for the mortal struggle between God and the Devil, moral principles changed and man was forced to recognize many of his natural needs as sin. Carnivals, despite their frank orgasm, or perhaps precisely because of it, did not disappear and became almost the only bridge connecting the medieval man, who was too concerned about saving the soul, with his earthly nature.

One of the most famous, colorful and crowded carnivals in the world is, of course, the Venetian.

Venice Carnival is a holiday with almost a thousand years of history. He survived his heyday, decline, death and rebirth. During the rise of the Republic of Venice, which lasted for more than a thousand years, from the end of the 7th century to the end of the 18th century, costumed festivities lasted six weeks a year. And at the end of the existence of the republic, masks were worn from October 5 to December 16 and from December 26 to Shrovetide (that is, in the cold season, the masquerade was interrupted only during the Christmas fast). Once in 179In the year 7, the city surrendered without resistance to the army of Napoleon, the carnival was canceled by decree of Emperor Bonaparte. Dictator Benito Mussolini did not like the idea of a masquerade either – in the 1930s a special document was issued prohibiting carnival masks and outfits.

MASKS
Moretta (from the Italian la moretta or servetta muta – a black oval mask made of velvet that hides the face of a woman. The ancient moretta was fastened with a small pin that the woman clamped in her teeth – silence only added to the beauties of mystery.

Bauta (from the Italian bautta – scarecrow) – a male mask made of white satin with black silk, complemented by a black cape and a black hat.

Mask of a cat – cats, according to an old legend, Chinese merchants brought to Venice, who thereby saved the Italian city from the dominance of mice.

Volto – neutral mask covering the entire face. It is attached to the face with ribbons or held by the hand by the elegant handle.

Doctor Plague – a frightening mask with a long beak. Although it is now part of the carnival costume, this mask was once the hallmark of doctors during plague epidemics. The rest of the townspeople wore masks during epidemics to deceive death “wandering” around Venice.

Columbine – half mask, often decorated with gold, silver, crystal and feathers. The mask was part of the image of the actress of the same name in the commedia dell’arte. According to legend, the actress was so beautiful that she did not want to hide her face, and a mask was created especially for her, covering only part of her face.

Other carnival entertainment – classical music concerts, theatrical performances and thematic tours of Venice, dedicated to the most interesting pages of the city’s history and famous Venetians. You can attend a dance workshop, but don’t expect to be shown fashionable moves – rather, they will teach you the basics of cotillion step by step. And, of course, any events – from gondola excursions to breakfasts with hot chocolate – require compliance with the dress code: you must come to them in carnival costumes.

Carnival of Venice is the most famous
carnival in the Old World, but by no means the only one. Carnivals of a smaller scale,
but no less attractive and original, are held in
in other Italian cities.

Carnival in the Tuscan city Viareggio ( Viareggio ) is no less famous in Italy than the Venetian. It has been celebrated since 1873, when the urban aristocracy decided to arrange a parade of carnival carts in the city center, and ordinary residents took advantage of the opportunity to dress up in carnival costumes and ridicule local politicians. Since then, the Carnival in Viareggio has been famous as the most daring and accusatory in all of Italy, and politicians and public figures of our days are unambiguously guessed in the figures on the carnival carts. Huge papier-mache structures, some of which weigh up to 40 tons, are carried along the boulevard, which stretches along the seashore. Each of them is a work of art and is created within a year by the best artists of the city. The height of each wagon reaches 25 meters, i.e. height of an 8-storey building.

One of the most beautiful carnivals in Sicily takes place in the city of Acireale ( Acireale ) in the province of Catania. You will find a parade with a sea of marvelous characters, processions with carts and platforms decorated with flowers, as well as funny games and contests. Don’t miss the sack jumping and the local fun called “albero della cuccagna”, which means “fat tree”. The task of the participants of the competition is to climb a tree, the trunk of which is smeared with fat. The Sicilians create wagons and decorations for them for a whole year, they carefully prepare for the carnival, which is why it turns out so beautiful and bright, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.

The most famous carnival in Sicily is the carnival in the old, medieval town of Sciacca in the province of Agrigento . Carnival King Peppe Nappa opens the festival with symbolic keys on a clean Thursday, and at the end of the carnival he will suffer the same fate as all the kings of Italian carnivals – he will be burned in the square. Along the medieval streets of the old city from 2 pm to 5 am the next day, strings of allegorical carts built according to the strict laws of carnival, groups of dancers of various dance schools, rhythmic, carnival music are continuously playing.

Carnival in Mamoiada (Mamoiada ) in Sardinia is one of the oldest folk festivals celebrated on the island. The inhabitants of this town gather in the central square to dance for several hours in a row to traditional music and admire the festive procession of Mamuthones Issohadores – traditional Sardinian masks. The mask “Juvanne Martis Sero” symbolizes the end of the carnival. On Tuesday, this doll is carried on a small cart through the streets of the town. The cart is driven by men who mourn the death of Juvanne Martis Sero and sing heartbreaking pitiful chants. At the end of the ritual, in the square and on the streets of the town, all participants are treated to wines and typical local dishes of pork and beans. More and more people come to witness this action.

Carnival in Putignano (Putignano ) in Puglia is primarily known for being one of the oldest and longest in Europe – all entertainment events last for a total of about one and a half months, starting immediately after Christmas . The main symbol of the carnival is the harlequin Farinella in a traditional white and green costume. One of the most colorful events of the carnival is the parade of moving allegorical platforms, on which huge funny and sometimes ironic compositions are installed, often dedicated to some vital national manifestations of life, or simply cheerful bright scenes. Every day of the carnival is something remarkable. The “analogue” of American Groundhog Day is celebrated – Bear Day, which is credited with unusual abilities, for example, to predict the weather! If the weather does not spoil the inhabitants on this day, then the bear is made in the form of a haystack, so that in the future weather troubles would pass by. But even today, according to tradition, the carnival ends with a comic theatrical funeral procession mourning Mr. Carnival. The faces of the “mourners” are hidden by mournful masks, they loudly “groan and sob.” The “mourners” are followed by the widow of Carnival, accompanied by harlequins who howl and play along with her. On the main square of Putignano, the widow receives condolences from the highest officials of the City Council, after which the symbolic doll, Mr. Carnival, is burned.

A few kilometers from the city of Arezzo (Arezzo) , on an ancient Roman road, lost among vineyards and olive groves, stands the ancient Tuscan city Castiglione Fibocchi . In the last days before Lent, figures dressed in bright mythical outfits, hiding their faces under mysterious masks, appear on its streets. Carnival dei Fili di Bokko (Children of Bokko) is famous for its traditional night festivities, carnival processions by moonlight, magic shows and tricks in the squares, baroque costumes and masks, and delicious treats in honor of the King of Bokko.

Twin carnival in Rio de Janeiro, carnival in Cento ( Cento) in the province of Ferrara) is one of the most spectacular and fun carnivals in Europe. For a whole year, carnival associations have been preparing allegorical carts that compete for the main prize in a difficult festive contest. True works of art, “papier-mâché monuments” can reach 6 meters in length and width and be up to 20 meters high, compete to win the 1st Carnival Prize. The symbol of the carnival is the TASI MASK. According to legend, this Tasi was a great lover of good wine, and when it came to choosing between his wife and a glass of Lambrusco, he chose the second option. Tasi opens the parade on the first day, and on the last day of the carnival, the traditional rite of “burning Tasi” and a big fireworks display take place.

Carnival in Ivrea (Ivrea) in Piedmont has a history of more than 200 years. The townspeople, as in past centuries, dress up in historical costumes, march through the city to the sound of drums and bagpipes in a colorful procession with flags. Carnevale d’Ivrea lasts a week, ending with the famous Battle of the Oranges, and including parades, music, and a giant bonfire. But it’s the pelting of oranges at each other that gets the most attention.

LA GOMERA ISLAND (Canary Islands)

Prettiest village of Spain officially is in La Gomera

Seen from the ‘Mirador de Abrante’ viewpoint: Spain’s most beautiful village is1000 feet below, and

the Atlantic ocean is a further 500 feet below La Gomera’s historic and stunningly beautiful small town

I’ve always said it and several publications did same over many years: the prettiest village, or town as the locals would call it, in the Canary Islands and even all of Spain perches on La Gomera’s north coast and is named Agulo. The village with its twin ‘centres’ sits close to and high above the rugged Atlantic coastline and offers spectacular views of neighbouring island Tenerife.

The town and its municipal rural area is home to just over 1.000 residents and sits below sheer vertical cliffs with Garajonay national park above in the mountains. Agulo is best viewed first from the breathtaking viewpoint with a restaurant and glass-floored skywalk hanging onto the clifftop. However the serene town itself with its historic buildings and maze of narrow lanes is a must-explore and worth paying an extended visit.

British daily ‘The Times’ earlier this year promoted the fact that Agulo has been officially selected as the prettiest village in all of Spain. They described the source of their article thus:

”…In a land of such bounty it’s not easy to pick Spain’s prettiest villages. There are 7,582 municipios with a population of 15,000 or fewer, and you could argue until las vacas come home over which has the most dramatic castle or most charming plaza, or conjures the best magic with flowers, water, sunshine and shade.

Alternatively you could ask the experts. Founded in 2011 Los Pueblos Mas Bonitos de España is a highly selective association of villages deemed the nation’s prettiest. To be considered the community must have a population of 15,000 or fewer and have “an architectural or natural heritage” — in other words, it has to be pretty. It is then judged by the association according to 29 criteria, including “the harmony of windows, doors etc”, “the aesthetic treatment of overhead lines” and — crucially in the 21st century — “the existence of artisans”.

Those (villages, Ed.) that pass selection become part of a highly selective club that comprises just 105 members — or the top 1.4 per cent of all Spanish villages. …”

Agulo won the Spanish title in 2022 and it’s easy to see why. I nearly moved there when I first came to La Gomera, such were the charms of this town. There’s little tourism and most visitors are day-trippers from Tenerife that you’ll only see passing through around lunchtime. Most other times you’ll have the beauty of the village almost to yourself.

By the way, Fyffes, the global fruit and fresh produce company headquartered in Ireland, once owned land and premises in and around Agulo from the late 1890’s for many years. They grew bananas there and later tomatoes as well for export directly to Europe via packing facilities and a crane at a small beach and rocks just below Agulo town.

Anyway, ‘The Times’ described Agulo as follows:

”1. Agulo, La Gomera

Eleven hairpins from a black rock beach and hidden in banana plantations amid an Escher-like confusion of terraces lies the village of Agulo. Such is the might of the surrounding topography, and the colonial beauty of its cobbled lower town, that you can feel at times that you’re in Peru. Come for the hiking on marked trails that offer views of Tenerife and El Teide, or through the rainforests of the Garajonay National Park. Choose carefully: some are Andean in scale. Stay dead centre in the historic Casa de la Oje. It’s basic, with sea views, but charming nonetheless.”

Storm Hermine: Heavy rain in Canaries – WARNING

Archive image

A tropical storm named Hermine has formed north of the Cabo Verde Islands and is moving slowly north towards the Canary Islands. The associated heavy rainfall is imminent in the Canaries and warnings have been issued by the Spanish authorities for today, Sept. 24th 2022, tomorrow, and Monday. The American National Hurricane Centre has also issued a public advisory in its latest bulletin:

BULLETIN
Tropical Storm Hermine Advisory Number   4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL102022
800 AM CVT Sat Sep 24 2022
...HEAVY RAINS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND FOR THE CANARY
ISLANDS...
...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS...

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Hermine is expected to produce 3 to 6 (75
to 150 mm) inches of rainfall with localized higher amounts up to 10
inches (250 mm) across the Canary Islands through this weekend. This
rainfall may cause some flash flooding in areas of higher terrain.

These rainfall amounts are especially hazardous after years of drought in the Canaries. Rockfalls and landslides can be expected. Do not walk or drive in the mountains. The Canarian government has issued the a ”maximum alert” and recommends to avoid all travel and all outdoor activities. Traffic disruption is to be expected. All events have been cancelled. Flooding in valleys and all lower regions is also possible. Thunderstorms have been predicted which can deposit extreme amounts of precipitation in a short space of time. The western Canary Islands are most at risk and for these level orange warnings have been issued for La Gomera (even red for parts of La Palma island and same for all of El Hierro island), as well as numerous public advisories by local authorities. Rainfall may accumulate up to 30mm in just one hour in La Gomera

One bit of good news is that winds won’t be extreme, but still an added hazard with warnings in place of peak gusts of around 70 km/h, but possibly higher in exposed mountain areas.

Below is a summary of the warnings issued for tomorrow, Sunday 25th of Sept. 2022:

Body discovered in Tuesday’s fire outbreak

A fire broke out in Valle Gran Rey on Tuesday afternoon around 4pm. The small area of scrubland affected is close to the minor road between La Playa and Playa del Ingles, near art gallery Oasis. The local voluntary fire brigade arrived quickly on the scene and the fire was subsequently brought under control. However, when the area was checked more thoroughly a male body was discovered. Rumour has it that the fatality is a Swiss citizen and that a small gas container had exploded. Another person is said to have narrowly escaped the flames uninjured. The Guardia Civil police continue to investigate the incident.

Tuna fair in Playa de Santiago tomorrow

Tomorrow, Saturday July 9th 2022, Playa de Santiago in La Gomera’s south will host a ‘Tuna Fair’ from 10am with cookery demostrations, fish and wine pairings, free tapas, children’s events, market stalls, live music and surprises. All is themed around fresh tuna, as Playa de Santiago’s port is where most of La Gomera’s tuna catch is landed and all along the south coast you can still see the ruins of several tuna canneries.

Police station moved to the harbour of Valle Gran Rey

Valle Gran Rey’s Guardia Civil police station has recently moved from its previous location in La Playa to the harbour of Valle Gran Rey. The refurbished building on the pier in front of the fishermen’s co-op once housed the office of the ‘Garajonay Express’ direct ferry, but had been vacant for years since the termination of said ferry connection. Now the Guardia Civil police have relocated to what is meant to be their permanent station in Valle Gran Rey, and NOT to ‘Casa Maria’ as I reported as an April fool’s joke last year. .., but who knows if the Policia Canaria or some other Spanish police force is not eyeing that vacant building to cover the western side of Valle Gran Rey ?

Ferry ‘Benchi Express’ to run soon again

The ‘Benchi Express’ passenger ferry entering the harbour of Playa de Santiago a few years ago

The reopening if the so-called interior ferry line between the ports of Valle Gran Rey, Playa de Santiago and San Sebastian de La Gomera will soon become reality when the purpose built ferry owned and run by the Fred. Olsen ferry company will re-establish the service. The ‘Benchi Express’, a catamaran type passenger ferry, suspended all services with the beginning of the pandemic in March 2019 and the vessel was first mothballed and later serviced the connection between Playa Blanca in Lanzarote and Corralejo in Fuerteventura, where post-pandemic tourism recovered first. It has a capacity of 250 passengers and boasts a cafeteria and kennels for pets, but again it will not sail to Tenerife. However its sailings will be timed to connect with the large Fred. Olsen car ferry to Los Cristianos in Tenerife with three voyages in both directions per day . Tickets will be again be sold online and through special vending machines in Valle Gran Rey and Playa de Santiago. These will also give up to date information on sea and weather conditions and real-time arrival and departure times. It was announced by the Fred Olsen ferry company and the Canarian minister for transpot that the vessel will come back into service uniting the three La Gomera ports on the 1st of July this year.

La Gomera’s stone circle to be moved

One of La Gomera’s main visitor attractions is mythical La Laguna Grande in the centre of Garajonay National Park, and indeed in the centre of the island, high up in the mountains surrounded by ancient forests.

La Laguna Grande offers a small interpretative centre that explains the flora and fauna of the national park, a restaurant which is rented and run by the Fred. Olsen ferry company, public toilets, a playground, and barbecues and ovens which are popular with locals often bringing their extended families for day-long celebrations and parties. The area is also included in nearly all coach tours, bringing day trippers from Tenerife and cruise ship excursions. The popular spot is also often chock-a-block with rental cars, bikers and hikers.

Now a major re-development of La Laguna Grande has been announced which will see the small car park between the open green area and the restaurant extended, providing three times more space. As it is now this car park always quickly fills, resulting in too many cars being parked along the dangerous main road above the area, where the coaches also must park because they cannot turn below. Trees there beside the GM-2 cannot be felled to create more parking along this main east-west artery because all flora and fauna is protected in the national park.

Further to this recently approved development it has been announced that the stone circle (see image above) will be moved to the beautiful park around another of the island’s main attractions, the Torre del Conde in the island’s capital San Sebastian de La Gomera. It had previously been suggested by the Spanish minister for culture to move the monument to a museum in mainland Spain ”to give it more protection from the elements and human interference”, but thankfully La Gomera’s president Casimiro Curbelo intervened and he stated that La Gomera will not tolerate these stones leaving the island. There were also well-attended protests held in San Sebastian de La Gomera and during one of those the crowd formed a large ‘human stone circle’ (cadena humana de piedra) around the Torre del Conde, demanding the monuments be re-erected in front of the tower:

The ‘human stone circle’ protest in San Sebastian de La Gomera recently (This image: gomeranoticias.com)

The compromise solution now is to move the lot to the island’s capital where it can be better monitored and protected, as well as making it more accessible to locals and visitors. The associated cup-marked standing stone/boulder (image below) will also be moved there. The whole operation will be supervised by a team of archaeologists and historians, to make sure the exact same alignment will be observed and that no damage is done.

The existing small playground in the green of Laguna Grande will be augmented with a new themed amusements park with various additional rides and pleasure gardens which ”will reflect the many myths and legends associated with La Laguna Grande”. Work on the project is to begin after Easter when low season begins. It is hoped that both the newly-developed attractions and the relocated stone alignment will be open to the public again on April 1st 2023, according to Cabildo de La Gomera, the island’s government. Funding has been made available with part-funding coming from the EU who praised the project as eco-friendly and a ”show-piece sustainable development which also will reduce traffic and emissions in Garajonay National Park”.

La Gomera to generate 70% of its energy from wind

Parts for the new wind turbines arriving in the port of San Sebastian de La Gomera last month (Image: gomeranoticias. com)

Finally the planned construction of wind tubines in La Gomera is going ahead and the arrival last month of the first large parts for the wind turbines heralds the end for the ageing and very smelly diesel generator driven power station in the island’s capital San Sebastian de La Gomera.

The new large windmills will be constructed in three wind parks in the mountains above the capital, one of them near ‘El Camello’. This desolate spot once had indeed camel stables, then it housed a discotheque and nightclub, and after that had closed down refugees from Africa were housed there in container homes.

The three wind parks, once completed, will generate up to seven megawatts of electricity and should cover 70% of the island’s 10MW average demand.

The plan to generate all of La Gomera’s electricity from renewable sources was drawn up in 2019 and the arrival of the first segments of the windmills was hailed as a historic moment by the authorities.

The aim is to become 100% self sufficient in electricity generation and the next step in the island government’s plan is the construction of solar photovoltaic parks to augment wind energy and to provide stability of the grid. Some of the diesel generators will probably remain on stand-by.

The new windmills will hopefully be a lot more reliable and sturdy than the only two previous turbines near Epina that never worked very well. One of them even got blown down in a storm a few years ago (more here…).

New 2€ coin to feature La Gomera island

Since the end of January the Spanish national mint has begun producing commemorative two Euro coins which will not show the portrait of the king of Spain on the reverse side. Instead these new 2 Euros (above) will show La Gomera’s emblematic and iconic Roque Agando (more here…) together with examples of the fauna in the island’s 1.8 million years old laurisilva forest. Both can be found in Garajonay national park, the stunningly beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site which covers about 11% of the entire island, and to which the new coins are dedicated.

The Spanish king probably won’t mind, as he has visited La Gomera and admired its national park on several occasions.

The new coinage will come into circulation ”in the first quarter of 2022” according to the official decree issued two months ago, so keep your eyes on any 2 Euro pieces in your change from now on. This should also be of interest to numismatologists as the 2022 commemorative issue dedicated to La Gomera will be strictly limited in numbers by the national mint.

La Gomera’s oldest citizen

La Gomera’s oldest citizen is Antonio Navarro from the harbour village of Vueltas in Valle Gran Rey. Born the 29th of December 1914, he just celebrated his 107th birthday and he still clearly remembers all the events and experiences during his long life. Congratulations !

Antonio once imported clothes and shoes to Valle Gran Rey and he also built apartments to rent out to tourists. This accommodation is still officially listed as ‘Apartamentos Navarro’ today and available to book.

Popular Stories

90,000 success, problems and overcoming them. Capital
Airbnb’s founders turned the travel industry upside down with the idea of living in locally owned accommodation while traveling. The popular service turns 10 years old.

It all started with air mattresses and the fact that in 2007 in San Francisco all the hotels were full due to a conference that was just taking place in the city. And then three local students came up with the idea to offer city guests a roof over their heads and air beds. The initiative was called AirBed & Breakfast (translated from English – “inflatable bed and breakfast”).

This offer found its customers, and thus a business idea was born: why not rent out a room or the entire accommodation to people who want to stay somewhere for a few days? All that remained to be done was to bring the guests and the owners of the premises together. And then three students – Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk – created a website and presented their idea to the world. This happened on August 11, 2008. On that day, users were offered only 16 housing options.

In 2009, the portal received a name that is now familiar to almost every traveler around the world: Airbnb. About 300 million users have already booked accommodation through the online platform, and in general it offers about five million apartments in two hundred countries around the world. In 2017, the market value of the company was estimated at $31 billion.

The numbers speak for themselves: travelers love Airbnb. On the site, they can choose accommodation for every taste and budget. In addition, such accommodation offers guests a local flavor that hotels are not able to offer. Airbnb is now booking more travelers than the top five hotel chains. And hoteliers are very unhappy with this state of affairs – the online platform takes away their customers, makes significant profits, and at the same time bypasses the tax requirements applied to the hotel business. But the real problem for Airbnb is something else.

Success brings problems

Criticism is loudest in the cities where Airbnb has had the most success—Paris, London, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Berlin, and Amsterdam. All these cities are objects of mass tourism. And they all share the opinion that Airbnb only complicates the already difficult situation in the rental market. After all, the transformation of living space into premises rented to tourists raises the cost of rent in these cities. Therefore, in Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, local residents have already gone out to protest.

Homeowners can make more money by renting to tourists rather than to local residents on a long-term basis. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for local residents to find housing for themselves, so they are forced to leave the cities. Critics argue that Airbnb is consistently destroying the special charm of the area where it offers accommodation. The portal itself is of a different opinion – according to Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk, 75 percent of the accommodation offered by the site is located outside the areas where hotels are located. And this has a positive effect on the local economy. “Guests in these areas go to restaurants and cafes that are located nearby and buy things in local stores,” says a board member of the company.

These positive effects exist, however, they do not improve the situation with rented housing. Therefore, local communities are forced to take action.

Airbnb under pressure

Barcelona, one of the most visited cities in Europe, has taken decisive action. In 2016, the city authorities threatened to fine Airbnb in the amount of 600 thousand euros for allowing the service to advertise apartments to those owners who do not have the appropriate permission to rent out housing. The court war continued for a year and in 2017 a compromise was reached. Airbnb managed to avoid the fine. In return, the company assured that all apartments whose owners do not have the appropriate permits will be removed from its website.

Other cities, like Barcelona, are also trying to keep Airbnb and similar platforms out of the housing market. In Palma de Mallorca, from July 1 this year, short-term apartment rentals have been banned throughout the city. Over the past five years, the cost of rent here has increased by 50 percent. In other cities, owners who rent through Airbnb have also faced restrictions. For example, in Paris, residents of the central districts have the right to rent out housing only for 120 days a year. In Amsterdam, the premises can be rented out to tourists for a maximum of 30 days per year.

As of August 1, Berlin has also tightened the regulation of so-called diversion of residential premises. It is now necessary to inform the city administration in advance about the short-term rental of apartments and obtain the appropriate permission for this. After that, homeowners are given a registration number, which they must indicate in their advertisements. This makes it easier to control. For tourists, this also has one advantage – in this way they can quickly find out whether housing is legally rented.

The EU tightens the screws

Airbnb has also come to the attention of the EU. In July 2018, he demanded that the portal provide information about who owns the housing – private or legal entities specializing in renting housing. This is because for each of these categories, different consumer protection standards apply. In addition, European consumer protection authorities require Airbnb to harmonize the terms of use of its services with EU consumer law, in particular, in terms of the right to claim compensation.

“Popularity does not justify non-compliance with EU consumer protection rules. Consumers should be able to easily understand what services they have to pay for and how much, as well as have fair conditions, such as owner cancellation policies. I expect Airbnb to find the right solutions quickly,” said European Commissioner for Justice, Consumer Protection and Gender Equality Vera Yurova. Airbnb has until the end of August to submit their offers.

Airbnb is doing well

Practice shows that Airbnb is ready to negotiate. In cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and Vancouver, interaction has been established between the company and city administrations. In some places, an online platform blocks homeowners who do not have the necessary permits. This was done, for example, recently in Japan. Or the company cooperates with local authorities and automatically collects a tourist tax – as is the case in Vienna or Dortmund. Not all Airbnb owners declare their rental income, which is why local authorities complain that the service is depriving them of their tax revenue. In Berlin and other federal states of Germany, the fiscal authorities intend to check whether homeowners regularly declare rental income.

Meanwhile, Airbnb is calmly accepting all the difficulties and continues to expand its empire. Chris Lehane, the company’s Global Policy and External Affairs Officer, noted that Airbnb’s goal is to hit the one billion bookings mark by 2028. He said that the company plans to launch a universal application for tourists, which will provide information about absolutely all travel destinations.

In 2017, Airbnb Experiences was launched, allowing interested users to book experiences at the places they travel, from sailing and street food tours to concerts and graffiti courses.

Dracaena: home care, photo, reproduction and diseases

Dracaena is a popular indoor plant that can be found in almost every home. Each of its species refers to exotics that originally appeared on the African continent, and the name of the flower itself translates as “female dragon”. It comes from the fact that some strains produce a deep red, oily juice that scientists thought looked like dragon’s blood. In this article we will talk about the intricacies of caring for dracaena at home with photos and detailed descriptions of the varieties.

Many mistakenly classify decorative varieties of dracaena as palm trees because of the similar branched trunk, but in fact it is a “false” palm tree, or a succulent deciduous shrub.

There are several varieties of this plant available in flower shops for home breeding, and they all look different. One thing unites them: since this is a succulent subspecies, it is quite unpretentious and suitable for beginner growers. Here are some of the easiest to care for and popular varieties of dracaena with photos and names.

Godsefa

Few people know that godsefa is a dracaena, it is so different from the false palms familiar to everyone. It has thin, ascending stems with round, dark green foliage that has light blotches. This variety is best kept a short distance from direct sunlight – like all variegated flowers, godsefa prefers diffused light. Also make sure that children and pets do not have access to the plant, as it is toxic. Water the soil as it dries out and do not overdo it with spraying – they are needed only in very dry air.

Bordered

This species has a straight trunk and a magnificent cap of thin dark green leaves. The plant loves bright lighting and reacts very poorly to waterlogging. In winter, it should be watered no more than once a month, in summer – as the earth dries completely. If you notice that the leaves have begun to curl, make it a habit to spray them daily with a spray bottle.

Social networks of the blogger two.plant.mamas

Fragrant

It looks like a miniature palm tree without branches with wide long dark green leaves. It grows very slowly, but with good lighting and suitable conditions, it can stretch up to two meters in 10-15 years. The variety got its name for blooming with fluffy light yellow flowers that exude a sweet honey smell. In care, it is a little more complicated than fellows with narrow leaves: you will have to keep the pot away from drafts and central heating radiators. Avoid watering and spraying – if the water stagnates, then rotting will begin, and it will not be possible to save the plant.

Deremskaya

Differs in a thick trunk from which oblong, but wide leaves stretch upwards. In a flower shop, you can usually find pots in which two or three plants grow at once. The part of the trunk above the ground may be partially bare or completely covered with greenery. Put the flower closer to the window and boldly take it out to the balcony in the summer (just make sure that burn spots do not appear on the leaves on the hottest days). The plant also loves daily spraying and warm showers.

Bent

Differs in the shape of the leaves: they are wide and curved down, often with light veins. Greenery completely covers the trunk, so from the side the flower looks like a neat rounded bush. The plant loves sunlight, so put it in the most lit place in the house and get ready to water and spray regularly. With proper care, there are no problems with growing, as this variety is resistant to diseases and pests.

Sander

Sander is often confused with bamboo because of its appearance. It is an undemanding, hardy variety often sold as an ornamental arrangement with intertwined stems. Grows in soil or water containers. If you choose the second option, periodically add fertilizers designed specifically for this plant.

Watering and sunlight

Despite the differences between species, they are united by the fact that they belong to succulent shrubs. Therefore, it is important to remember that the answer to the question of how to care for dracaena at home lies in a simple rule: it tolerates a short drying of the soil much better than waterlogging. When the soil is oversaturated with moisture, the stem quickly gains too much water, becomes soft, the greens fall off, and the roots rot. If you do not react quickly and do not dry the soil, the plant dies.

Also consider the love of the flower for sunlight – the reason for this lies in its African origin. Varieties with a light pattern can be placed at a distance of 2-3 meters from the south window. All the rest – on the windowsill or other surfaces standing close to the light. Depending on the species, spray the leaves, wipe them with a damp cloth, or take a warm shower – but always make sure that at the end of the procedure the water does not stagnate in places where the foliage grows.

Trimming

Trimming is optional. It is carried out to decoratively correct the crown, give it a neater shape or slow down growth if the flower has grown too large. Here’s how you can trim the dracaena without harming it:

The procedure is carried out from May to June.

With a sharp, sterile knife, cut off the trunk at a point above the foliage growth. The cut should be at least 10-15 cm from the ground, so young miniature seedlings are not cut.

Cover the section with plastic wrap to avoid moisture loss. When it heals, new shoots will begin to appear around the edges.

Periodically rotate the pot around its axis so that the shoots stretch towards the sun and grow evenly.

Transplanting

When buying, please specify in what soil the flower is sold. If this is a special soil for dracaena, the pot does not seem too cramped, and roots do not grow from the holes in the bottom, then a transplant is not needed. It can be carried out for a young seedling in a year, and for an adult and large one, which is no longer growing so fast, in a couple of years.

It is best to buy ready-made soil: it will have the right acidity and fertilizer ratio. If you collect the soil yourself, make sure that it is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5-7), not too dense and heavy, without large clods. Fertilizers are needed mainly mineral, nitrogen.

If repotting is necessary, purchase soil and a suitable plastic or ceramic pot with drainage holes. You will also need medium-sized expanded clay to lay it on the bottom of the pots. The thickness of the drainage layer should be at least 1/5 of the height of the pot.

The easiest way to transplant a dracaena and get it out of an old pot is transshipment. Wait for the soil to dry, carefully lay the flower on its side and gently squeeze the plastic pot. Pull the container to the side, it should move freely. Then put a layer of expanded clay and some earth in a new planter, place the root system in the center and start to sprinkle around the perimeter.

7 Transplant Mistakes That Can Kill Them

Cuttings

The easiest way to propagate dracaena at home is cuttings. From May to June, prune and cut off a small part of the trunk with a sharp knife. Put it in water and wait a couple of weeks. The cutting will form roots, and then it can be transplanted into the ground. If after 4-5 days the roots have not started to hatch, you can add a little growth stimulant to the water, but this is usually not required. Wait until the roots are 5-7 cm long before transplanting into the ground.

Lateral shoots

Maybe another way to propagate dracaena at home is suitable for you – side shoots that are cut right at the base. Examine the part where the offshoot separates from the main stem. If you see small bumps, cut under them. Roots will then emerge from them. Fragrant and bent dracaena reproduce best in this way. The cut off shoot is placed in water and waiting for the roots to appear. You can add some growth stimulants to speed up this process. When transplanting into the soil, use a wooden stick as a prop so that the shoot does not fall or lean.

By seed

Flowering varieties can be propagated by seed. To do this, you need to create conditions suitable for the appearance of flowers: good lighting, regular watering and a sufficient amount of fertilizer. At the end of flowering, a fruit will be formed, in which there will be from one to several seeds, depending on the variety. The seeds are soaked in water with a growth stimulator for a couple of days, laid out on the ground and pressed into it by about 1 cm. Next, the soil is sprayed with a spray bottle and the pot is covered with cling film. It is important that the pot is warm and the condensate does not stagnate. To do this, every day you need to open the film, ventilate and spray the ground again. After 2-3 weeks, sprouts will appear, which can be planted when they grow to at least 5 cm.

Leaves turn yellow, dry and fall off

If once every few months the leaves of dracaena turn yellow and fall off and it is not clear what to do, you should not immediately begin to worry. Most often, this is a natural process: the plant simply renews itself and gets rid of accumulated toxins. But if for some reason the leaves of the dracaena turn yellow along the entire length of the stem, then the problem lies in the care. The reason may be:

Too frequent watering. An important symptom (in addition to falling leaves) is that the trunk has become soft, the bark is wrinkling. A common mistake is to water the flower a little, so as not to flood, but often. This plant originated in Africa, so it is used to rare but plentiful watering. Let the soil dry out completely, and then put the pot in a basin of water for 20 minutes so that the soil is saturated with moisture, or arrange a warm shower. After that, drain the excess water so that it does not stagnate in the planter or pan. Repeat the process only when the soil is dry.

Dry air. If there are no problems with watering, try more frequent spraying. This problem often occurs in winter: the batteries started working, and the leaves of the dracaena began to dry out.

Draft. Another winter problem is cold air. Make sure there is no draft in the room and the pot is not in the way of the cold air flow during ventilation.

Lack of light. Perhaps the plant is too dark if it is in the back of the room. Even the place in which he was comfortable in the summer may become insufficiently lit in the winter, when daylight hours become shorter.

Lack of nutrients. If the leaves of the dracaena fall and it is not clear what to do, because there are no problems with watering and light, you may not have fed the flower for a long time. Apply nitrogen fertilizers to the soil.

5 Signs Your Plants Are Feeling Bad (Time to Take Action!)

Only the tips dry

It may not be clear why dracaena dries at the tips of the leaves. Dry ends are an aesthetic problem that is especially common in the fringed species. Most likely, the air in the room was too dry. It will not work to return the leaves to their previous state, but if you introduce regular spraying with warm water, the new greenery will not dry out at the edges, and the old one will not fall off. If desired, you can carefully cut off the dry tips, but it is important not to touch the living tissue, otherwise the plant may begin to shed them. This procedure is recommended only if the dry part reaches at least 5-10 mm in length.

Unsplash

Dropping leaves

If the plant is unusually drooping, watering is probably the problem. Analyze how you spent it in the last month. If the flower was watered too often and the lower part of the trunk became soft, the roots were damaged. Dracaena will have to be taken out of the ground, cut off its rotten roots and treated with an antifungal agent. If, on the contrary, they forgot about watering, it is enough to arrange a warm shower, and the flower will come to life.

In the event that none of these scenarios seem appropriate, think about the last time you fertilized the soil. If it was more than six months or a year ago, apply a little nitrogen top dressing.

Pexels

Diseases

If yellow or brown spots begin to appear on the flower and there are no other symptoms, this is most likely a fungal disease. It appears due to too high humidity and temperature or in contact with other diseased plants. To get rid of the fungus, first cut off the infected areas. If there are too many, remove those sheets that have suffered the most. Then treat with fungicides. All non-viable dracaena leaves will eventually be shed by itself, growing new ones to replace it.

History

Playa del Ingles is a typical town that arose from Western prosperity development. In the 1960s it consisted of little more than a few dozen houses.

Playa del Inglés on Wikipedia

Playa del Ingles (Spanish: Playa del Ingles – Englishman’s beach) is a seaside resort on the south coast of Gran Canaria. The tourist area, part of Maspalomas, is located in the municipality of San Bartolome de Tirajana. There are several versions of the origin of the name. According to one of the most probable versions, at the beginning of the 20th century, French bohemians began to regularly rest on this still undeveloped area, but the local population called them Englishmen. Playa del Inglés is an elongated beach with high sand dunes, bordering San Agustín on one side and the center of Maspalomas on the other. The territory of the current resort is up to 19In the 60s, it seemed deserted until large-scale construction of a tourist zone began. Recently, it has undergone reconstruction, as, built of large concrete blocks, it contrasted sharply with the surrounding area. Playa del Inglés has a sufficient number of shopping centers. The population of Playa del Inglés was 17,158 in 2002 and continues to grow.

Why You’ll Love Kitesurfing In Fuerteventura (corralejo)!

Home to the only true 5* luxury hotel on the island

The best spot from June to September, calmer and less gusty than the south

Great value 3 bedroom villas a short drive from the beach

Kitesurf Holidays Corralejo

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands, although one of the least developed. The Island has some stunning topography including vast sand dunes, huge golden beaches and breathtaking volcanic scenery in the interior. Broadly speaking most of the best beaches are along the East coast, the rugged West coast is more rocky and open to the swell of the Atlantic (great for surfing). The North is where you will find the main tourist resort of Corralejo, in the South East you will find some quieter beach resorts (including the windsurf resorts of Costa Calma and Sotavento). Corralejo, being the main tourist hub of the island, has a lot of amenities in the way of restaurants, bars and shopping. In some areas in central Corralejo it can be a little ’18-30′, but these areas are easily avoided.

You arrive at the airport in Puerto Rosario and head North to Corralejo (25 minutes), by pre arranged private transfer, or car hire. Generally it is a good idea to have car hire although this is not necessary. Fuerteventura and the Canaries are are great year around kitesurf holiday destination within easy reach of the UK (around 3. 5 hours flight), and a lot of other European departure points. This is one of the most wind reliable short-haul windsurf holiday destinations from March to September, but it can also be great in the winter months, just not quite as ‘guaranteed’ wind.

A kitesurf holiday to Corralejo in Fuerteventura is suitable for all levels and holiday types, including families, singles and couples, of all kitesurf abilities. Kitesurf beginners are taught by boat in flat water with plenty of space. For the improver or independent kitesurfer there is a very long and stunning kitesurf beach, plus some small and easy waves if you want it. This really is a great kitesurf holiday location to satisfy a wide range of abilities.

As with all of our location we are meticulous about which accommodation we work with, and will only suggest properties that we have personally inspected and know to be good. In Corralejo we have a superb collection of properties to include a stunning deluxe beach resort, spacious families villas and a ‘cool’ boutique hotel in the centre of town. A Planet kitesurf holiday expert can guide you to the best property for your budget and specific requirements should you decide to contact us.

The Spot

Fuerteventura offers a variety of conditions depending on the time of year and destination; from super flat shallow lagoons to full on wave sailing spots. We know this zone extremely well so please call for a personal account and advice on suitability.

Corralejo – Flag Beach

In front of Lanzarote, Corralejo was once a small fishing village, now it is a thriving holiday town. The town is on one side of the large bay with accommodations spreading round to the other. Flag Beach is about 4km from town, looking out towards Isla de Lobos. This area has hardly developed and the windsurfing centre is across the dunes right in the middle of this long sandy beach.

The Wind In Corralejo

The windiest season in Fuerteventura is in the summer, between April and September, when a big high pressure stays over the Atlantic and a low over the Sahara. However, there is generally wind all year around with it just being less reliable outside of this main wind season. For the winter months it is better to head South, to Costa Calma or Sotavento, where the wind is accelerated and can be very strong even in the winter.

The wind in the North of the island, at Corralejo, tends to be lighter (around 20-30 knots) and much more consistent than in the South of the island, where summer wind conditions can get up to 40 knots + regularly. The wind in the South is also cross-off shore and can be quite gusty at times.

Activities In Corralejo

Fuerteventura offers a wide types for the non-windsurfer; don’t forget this is a premier holiday destination for many holidaymakers. The key activities are surfing, diving, horse riding, trekking and cycling. Excursions in and around Fuerteventura are popular, especially round Lobos island, mountain biking and surfing the world class breaks. You can also visit Lanzarote, which is only 45 minutes ferry ride away, travel to Lobos.

Nightlife

In the evenings in Corralejo there are many restaurants to choose from offering Spanish and international cuisine, catering for everyone’s budget. It is well worth making the effort to get to Cotillo to sample fresh fish. Of the many bars in the town, Corky’s, as well as others, have surf videos running all night and then with the possibility of Waikiki taking your entertainment through to the small hours.

With an average temperature of 20 degrees and more than 20 kiteable days per month, it makes it a great winter escape.
Matas Bay itself is an amazing flat water spot that doesn’t depend on the tide, meaning you can kite all day long! There are also numerous wave spots dotted around the island, making it an exciting destination for more advanced wave riders and kiters.
The Canary Islands are blessed with plenty of natural beauty, spectacular landscapes and a thrilling range of activities. Fuerteventura has many spectacular places to visit including its natural pools or the Jurrasic period caves at Ajuy. Hike one of Fuerte’s many coastal trails or volcanic paths to stunning viewpoints, or surf some of the best waves in Europe.

Kitespot & Kiteschool

The spot at Matas Bay is unique for Fuerteventura as the surrounding waters are flatter and the wind is more consistent. The spot itself is not dependent on the tide and you can take advantage of every minute of wind. There’s a shallow area for a few metres as you enter, and then the water gets deep. The wind direction is cross offshore making the water butter flat or smooth as glass! If you need to be brought back to your starting point, then we have an excellent boat service for free riders as well as for those taking lessons.
In winter and summer, Fuerteventura has a light to moderate northeast trade wind. The local thermals reinforce the jet of wind they bring making the island a unique kiting spot. In winter, Fuerteventura offers an average monthly temperature of over 20°C and just as many windy days, making it an ideal destination for Europeans who like to spend the winter in warmth!
Leave your thick wetsuits at home as in the summer only boardshorts or a bikini is needed. In winter, you’ll likely need a 3/2mm wetsuit, but we recommend neoprene shoes as depending on the time of the year, there can be a lot of small stones at the beach or in the water.
On a rare windless day, we’ve included a couple of no-wind activities in your kite package. Try your balance on a SUP board, grab a kayak, or go for a snorkel-excursion in the azure blue waters.

COURSES Kitesurfing Fuerteventura

The Matas Bay Kite Centre is VDWS / IKO licensed and the instructors will train you in small groups. A maximum of 2 people per instructor ensures you’ll make progress as fast as possible.

NOT INCLUDED IN PACKAGE PRICE

PLAYA DE JANDIA

Playa de Jandia is one of the most beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura, and many say it is the most beautiful of all. The wide beach stretches for several kilometres and consists of fine, light-coloured sand and never gets busy.

MORRO JABLE

Morro Jable was once a sleepy fishing village and is the perfect place to enjoy some sea-view tapas and relax. Hotel bunkers have now been built on the outskirts of the village, but the village centre still retains its charm.

FARO DE PUNTA JANDIA

The Faro de Punta Jandía lighthouse stands at the southern tip of the island and is powered entirely by solar energy. Since 1850 it has been helping to guide ships away from dangerous reef areas, and when visibility is good, you can see all the way to Gran Canaria.
When you reach the lighthouse, you are officially at the end of Fuerteventura and the extreme south-western tip of the island. From here you can head back towards Morro Jable.

SHOPPING & PARTYING IN COSTA CALMA

Costa Calma is the best place for shopping and partying. You can walk here or jump in a taxi costing just €3-4. For night owls we can recommend the Night Lounge, a stylish club with an open-air lounge.

OLD ISLAND CAPITAL CITY BETANCURIA

One of the best sights on the island is the old island capital city Betancuria. It was Spain’s first colonial town and has retained its nostalgic feel.

Fuerteventura Kitesurf Guide (Spain) – The Salt Sirens

This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, The Salt Sirens earns from qualifying purchases.

Fuereventura and its lunar landscape almost seems as though it was built for kitesurfers and windsurfers. The name itself means, “strong winds” in Spanish which alone should tell that it’s a great place to inflate your kite. Ready to visit for yourself? In this guide, we’ll cover the best Fuerteventura kitesurf spots as well as where to rent gear and where to stay.

The best time to kiteboard in Fuerteventura is between March and late October, though you might get lucky and score wind all year long. If one spot isn’t working, it’s worth driving along the coastline and checking the other. One spot’s offshore is another’s onshore! As a plus, Fuerteventura is a top destination to surf as well.

Water temperature: Fall/Winter: 19°C/66°F; Summer: 22°C/71°F. You might not need a wetsuit during summer (perhaps a vest or a spring suit will do), but you will want one for winter.

Experience level: There are plenty of beginner-friendly spots to kitesurf in Fuerteventura, while more experienced kiters will have fun in the waves and harder to launch/land flatwater spots.

The best Fuerteventura kitesurf spots

Map of Fuerteventura kitesurf spots

Click map above to be taken to Google Map of exact spots

El Cotillo

Best for: Intermediate/experienced kitesurfers
Wind direction: NE, N

El Cotillo is one of the most popular kitesurf spots on Fuerteventua, so expect some crowds. A fun beach break welcomes kiters who want to swap their twintip for a surfboard, though there’s plenty of space outside the beach break as well. You might find kitesurfers slightly north (El Faro) and south (El Toston) of the main kitesurfing area, where crowds tend to thin out.

El Cotillo has an array of shops and restaurants around, making it a great place to spend the day once it’s time to land.

Majanicho

Best for: Intermediate/experienced kitesurfers
Wind direction: E, NE

Majanicho is a popular point break with waves that are on par with its wind. Launching and landing can be a bit hectic here, thanks to the unforgiving rocky shoreline (booties are a must).

Freestyle kitesurfers will have plenty of fun near the shoreline, where the outer reef creates a prime flatwater spot. Head further out to enjoy top tier surfing.

Flag Beach

Best for: All experience levels
Wind direction: N, NE

Flag Beach is the best Fuerteventura kitesurf spot for beginners looking to body drag without worry or kitesurf first-timers. The wide, sandy beach leads into calm water with a rocky shoreline (it’s best to head out at mid- to high-tide). Because of its friendly reputation, kitesurfers from all over Europe tend to flock here and as a result it can get quite crowded. No matter, the kitesurf scene overall is friendly and you’re bound to have a fun session at Flag Beach. After all, it’s a rite of passage!

It is possible to rent kitesurf and windsurf gear from Flag Beach.

Puerto Lajas

Best for: Intermediate/experienced kitesurfers
Wind direction: E, NE

The closest kitesurf spot to Fuerteventura airport, kitesurfers can have fun at the reef break found at Puerto Lajas. Because of its remote location, you it’s a decent place to escape the crowds during high season–but may not be worth a trip in itself if you’re already on Fuertaventura’s northern end.

Costa Calma

Best for: All experience levels
Wind direction: NW, N, NE

Costa Calma–as its name might suggest–is a calm flatwater spot found on Fuerteventua’s southern end. Costa Calma is an idyllic spot for kitesurfers who want to nail down new moves without worrying about waves or deep water. Plus, you’ll be escaping many of the crowds typically found at Flag Beach.

Sotavento de Jardin Beach

Best for: Intermediate/experienced kitesurfers
Wind direction: NW, N, NE

Sotavento is predominantly a flatwater spot protected by an outer reef that can get a decent size swell rolling through every now and then. However, the flatwater area is very shallow and tide-dependent–you won’t want to be body dragging here at low tide. However, it’s great when there’s enough water. Because of high winds, frequent gusts, and waves, it’s a spot best left to those who are already quite capable at kitesurfing, especially outside of the flatwater lagoon.

How to get to and around Fuerteventura

Flights link Europe and Morocco to Fuerteventura, which has its own international airport.

You’ll need a car to get around Fuerteventura, which can be rented from the airport. You might see some kitesurfers hitchhiking from spot to spot, but being picked up is not guaranteed–and drivers might not be as keen to get you if you’re carrying a sopping wet wetsuit and tons of gear.

Travel must-knows

Currency: Euro

Power: 220v; Type C and F plug

Travel insurance: Travel insurance is a must during a kitesurf trip to Fuerteventura. We recommend World Nomads, which covers kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing. If you also want to take advantage of all Fuerteventura terrain, it covers mountain biking as well.

Extreme and active holidays on the island of Tenerife

Tenerife – for sure you have heard only positive reviews about this Canary Island – and about its wonderful climate – not too hot, not too cold, and about volcanic black beaches and unearthly panoramas of the Teide volcano. However, few people know how many opportunities for active and extreme recreation are in Tenerife. As a permanent resident of Tenerife, I want to tell you about extreme sports and other activities on my favorite island.

The Atlantic Ocean, which washes the island, brings with it clear water and even waves. On the one side of the island – on the east coast – the winds always blow, on the other – southwest, in the tourist areas of Los Cristianos and Las Americas there are almost no winds, so it’s great to engage in various extreme water sports – from pure surfing to kitesurfing, windsurfing and yachting.

Mecca of kitesurfing and windsurfing – El Medano!

In the south-east is one of the most windy spots in Europe, the mecca of kitesurfing and windsurfing – El Médano. The Mecca of El Medano and La Tejita are not only because the wind blows here more than 300 days a year, but also because they have the longest natural sand beaches in Tenerife. In summer, the wind here is without interruption, blowing up to 12-15 m/s, in winter the wind is weaker, blowing 8-10 m/s.

Windsurfing and kitesurfing are as comparable as skiing and snowboarding. Although the windsurf and the kite are ridden in the same places, they ride with different equipment, approach and philosophy. Windsurfing has been around for a long time, Tenerife has a lot of windsurfers with 20 or more years of experience. It’s easy to get on a windsurfer and start planing, but the further you want to progress in it, the more difficult it will be! Kitesurfing is a fairly young type of water extreme, but it has been developing very dynamically in recent years. A kite – a kite – allows a person to very quickly learn not only to plan, but also to jump up 2-3 meters or more. The time of learning and progress here is many times faster than in windsurfing. Pro riders – about kiters – perform spectacular and beautiful tricks and freestyle contests always become a good show. To learn how to jump simple elements in kitesurfing, a month of practice is enough, provided there are good instructors at the initial stage.

Paragliding in Tenerife

Now let’s move from the water spots of Tenerife to the mountains. Tenerife is unique in that this island has an amazing variety of climatic zones – pine forests begin at 1000 meters above sea level, and at 2 thousand meters you find yourself on a volcano. By the way, the famous science fiction blockbuster Star Wars was filmed in Teide National Park. Here, high in the mountains, thousands of meters above the ocean, eagles, vultures, and also… paragliders soar!

Just think, soar like a bird, surveying the entire island from a bird’s eye view! Didn’t you have dreams as a child that you were flying? With the help of a paraglider, you can fly in reality! You climb a mountainside, spread out your canopy, take five to eight steps and. .. how to describe that amazing feeling of free-floating? Flying in the south of the island, we view the beaches of Las Americas and Adeje, Mount Conde, the deep gorge of the Devil.

Well, in the north of Tenerife, next to the observatory at the foot of the Teide volcano, there is the highest start of the island for paragliding – Izaña. Taking off from a height of 2300 meters, you cross the entire Orotava valley and land on the beach in Puerto de La Cruz.

And do not think that in order to enjoy paragliding, you can only take a paragliding course! No, thanks to a tandem paraglider, you can fly with an experienced instructor who will control the wing, and you – with bated breath – look down on the stunning landscapes of Tenerife!

Trekking in Tenerife

And of course, if there are mountains, then there is also trekking! The most interesting from the point of view of hiking in Tenerife are 3 mountain (by the way, they are all volcanic) massifs: Teide National Park and Teno Natural Parks (northwest of the island) and Anaga (northeast).

Teno is known to trekkers all over the world for its breathtaking gorges and cliffs almost 600 meters high. The most famous gorge of Tenerife – Barranco de Masca is also located here. Walking here is very interesting and filled with impressions. You descend along a narrow, steep path into a deep canyon, crossing a stormy mountain stream more than once, until you reach a cozy and beautiful bay, perfect for picnicking, swimming and sunbathing. Boats run from the bay to the village of Los Gigantes, and therefore you can do without the exhausting climb back.

The Anaga Natural Park is the oldest geological zone in Tenerife – the thousandth local mountains are interesting for their sheer cliffs, ridges-knives and deep gorges. The mountain highway Carretera Alta de Anaga winds along the main ridge, from which roads go down to lost mountain villages.

And, of course, the most impressive and action-packed mountain range of Tenerife is the Teide National Park. Here you will see the alpine flora and fauna of the Canary Islands, numerous volcanic eruptions of lava of different colors, interspersed with pumice and obsidian crystals. Teide is the highest volcano in Spain – and the panaroma here looks more like a Martian than an earthly landscape. At the top it smells of sulfur, these are evaporations – fumaroles. Around the sky stretches smoke, warning that, perhaps, the volcano is not quite yet, or not at all … has not fallen asleep …

In general, Tenerife will surprise you with its variety of nature, spots, beaches, active entertainment and extreme sports.

Kitesurfing in Spain

Kitesurfing – a brief history of the sport

Among other water sports, kitesurfing is perhaps the most popular in Spain. It is also called kiting and kiteboarding. Kitesurfing is based on the use of a kite – a kite connected by lines to a control stick. By manipulating this handle, the athlete standing on a special board controls the movement of the kite and the sliding of the board through the water.

Despite the fact that as far back as the 12th century in China and Indonesia, kites (kites) were used to move boats, and in the 19th and 20th centuries propulsion systems using the kite of light craft were patented, kitesurfing appeared only in the 80s of the past centuries. In 1977 the Dutch inventor Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise patented the kite and board system used today. It is he who is considered the father of this popular sport today.

Kitesurfing in Spain

In Spain, kitesurfing became extremely popular in the early 2000s after Spaniard Gisela Pulido won the 2004 KPWT World Championship. The most amazing thing is that at that time she was only 10 years old and she competed with adult athletes. As of 2020, at the age of 26, she holds more than 10 of the most prestigious freestyle titles, as well as the title of the best kitesefer in the history of the sport. Also world champions in this sport were the Spanish athletes Abel Lago in 2007 and Alex Pastor in 2013.

The best kitesurf spots in Spain

Of the top 10 recognized kitesurfing spots in the world, at least 3 are in Spain.

1. Tarifa

Tarifa is the hallmark of kitesurfing in Spain. Surfers from all over the world come to its beaches stretching for 20 km every year, choosing one or another place depending on the west or east wind. Wide sandy coast, almost constant presence of wind, beaches with or without waves – all this is Tarifa. Agree that there are not many places in the world with such diversity.

Popular beaches in Tarifa

The most popular beaches for kitesurfers in Tarifa are:

Playa Chica;

Balneario;

Los Lances Pueblo;

Los Lances II;

Los Carriles;

Hurricane;

Torre de la Peña;

Valdevaqueros;

Benavides;

Boloniason

2.

La Manga del Mar Menor
La Manga del Mar Menor is located between Cartagena and Torrevieja and is also considered one of the best kitesurfing spots in Spain. The beaches of La Manga are considered the best in Europe for those who are just starting to kiteboard.

Popular beaches La Manga del Mar Menor

Beaches of Los Narejos and Lebeche, where the breeze constantly blows and there are low but frequent waves;

The beaches of Los Nietos are ideal for freestyle and freeride;

The beaches of Calblanque are considered the best in La Manga for athletes who prefer to ride the waves. Moreover, the wave here goes both with east and west winds;

El Cavanna is a very popular hotel for beginner kitesurfers.

3. Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is another popular kitesurfing spot in Spain. It is located in the Canary Islands and is famous for its excellent climate and the presence of wind. The north of the coast is ideal for those who love the waves, while the south is more popular with freeriders.

Popular Fuerteventura beaches

Fuerteventura’s most popular kitesurfer beaches are:

Corralejo;

El Cotillo o Jandía, which hosts the PKRA World Kitesurfing Championship.

Kitesurf schools

Andalusia’s long, diverse coastline makes it the ideal place to learn to kitesurf. There are kite schools along almost the entire coastline, especially in Tarifa.

There are quite a few certified schools; we do not advertise the schools mentioned below and do not distinguish them from others. We just want to show where you can learn kitesurfing and how much it costs.

90,000 pros and cons. Should you go to Fuerteventura?
Fuerteventura is one of the islands of the Canary archipelago, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa.

Recently, the Canary Islands have attracted more and more tourists from all over the world, you can really have a good rest there, but holidays in the Canaries in general and Fuerteventura in particular have their own characteristics.

I would like to start at pluses of rest on this island .

So, the first advantage of Fuerteventura is its long sandy beaches , as well as the beach season, which continues there all year round . The beaches are very clean and the water is clear. In principle, you can really swim on the island in December and January, however, it should be noted that the water temperature in the Atlantic is significantly lower than in Europe – it is about 19 – 22 degrees and practically does not change throughout the year. Fans of warm water in Fuerteventura are unlikely to like it – the water in the ocean is frankly cool, of course, you can swim there, but in order not to freeze, you have to constantly move, and you can hardly spend two hours in such water. In summer, the air temperature is slightly higher – the thermometer rises to 30 degrees, and in winter the average temperature is about 25. It should also be noted that Fuerteventura is constantly blown by winds, so there are waves on most beaches all year round – somewhere they are a little more, somewhere – then a little less.

The second plus of a holiday in Fuerteventura is very beautiful and almost untouched nature . There are very few inhabitants on the island, the population density is the smallest among the islands of the Canary archipelago, and tourism began to develop relatively recently – which is why you can admire magnificent unspoiled landscapes in Fuerteventura. This is especially true for the central part of the island – it is practically uninhabited, so those who prefer to enjoy nature in solitude can take a walk there. This makes it particularly advantageous from Tenerife and Gran Canaria, where tourism has been developing for quite a long time. Fuerteventura is not yet hackneyed and not traveled by crowds of tourists (unlike the more popular Canary resorts).

Another advantage of Fuerteventura is that this island is the best place for surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers. The island is constantly blown by strong winds, which creates just perfect conditions for boarding. That is why Fuerteventura is considered one of the best resorts for lovers of water sports . It is also worth noting that recently a fairly large number of surf schools have appeared on the island, which, among other things, are engaged in training from scratch. There are also Russian-speaking schools among them, the instructors there are Russians who left to live on this island. One of the best beaches for boarding is Corralejo.

Another advantage of staying on the island is the friendliness of the locals — they are quite friendly, they treat tourists very warmly. At the same time, they are not too intrusive, so they will in no way interfere with your acquaintance with the island.

Thus, Fuerteventura is the best place for those who are not afraid of the cool ocean, for those who practice or would like to try water sports, as well as for lovers of nature, tranquility and silence.

And now a little about cons of holidays in Fuerteventura .

The first and rather significant minus is the remoteness of the Canary Islands from Russia and the absence of direct regular flights both from Moscow and from other cities of Russia. A flight to the Canary Islands from the European part of Russia takes at least 6-7 hours, so those who are used to short flights to the Mediterranean may not like it. In addition, there are no direct flights, so you will have to fly with one or even several transfers. The positive points here, I can only include the presence of a flight of the Irish discount airline Ryanair, which departs from Dusseldorf (Dusseldorf-Vice Airport, which is located in the suburbs). Dusseldorf, in turn, can be reached from Finland on the same Ryanaire. It is possible that in this way you can significantly save on a ticket, but, of course, this will not be the most convenient route.

The second minus of Fuerteventura is the scorching sun (for the most part this, of course, refers to summer). The distance to Africa is only 100 kilometers, the island is much closer to the equator than European countries, so the sun is very evil here – you will need to use sunscreen with a high protection factor and stay out of the scorching sun for a long time.

Another disadvantage is directly related to the underdevelopment of the tourism industry — in Fuerteventura you will not find a lot of entertainment, souvenir shops, shows for tourists, a lot of bars and discos . At most resorts on the island, life stops after dark, so lovers of a vibrant nightlife are unlikely to like such a vacation.

Also note that there are no special attractions in Fuerteventura .

Abstract

Concentrations of natural radionuclides (226)Ra, (232)Th, (40)K and man-made (137)Cs in most important tourist Gran Canaria beaches have been determined using a high-purity Germanium detector to analyse their radiological hazard. Average values of the activity concentrations of (226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K were 17.6±1.4, 21.3±1.8 and 480±22 Bq kg(-1), respectively. Observed activity concentration values of (137)Cs were practically negligible from a radiological protection point of view. The results of this paper were compared with others published in the bibliography for beaches and coastal sediments of different countries. The mean external air absorbed dose rate was 43.9±2.8 nGyh(-1), which resulted in an outdoor annual effective dose below the world average. Also, the radium equivalent and the external hazard index were calculated. Results from Gran Canaria beaches showed the low levels of radioactivity, indicating no significant radiological risk related to human activities in the area.

Como la experiencia es un grado, hoy te voy a dar un montón de consejos sobre cómo moverse entre las Islas Canarias. Ventajas y desventajas de cada medio de transporte y todo lo que necesitas saber para organizar tu viaje rápido y sencillo.

Traslado en ferry entre islas en Canarias.

Obviamente, las posibilidades de movimiento entre las islas de un archipiélago como el canario están acotadas al barco y el avión. Aún así, contamos con tantas posibilidades, frecuencias y buenos precios que organizar un viaje que incluya varias Islas Canarias es verdaderamente sencillo. ¿Empezamos?

Cómo viajar entre Islas Canarias en ferry

No han sido pocos los trayectos que he realizado en barco entre diversas islas. Por comodidad, mejores precios, mayor oferta de horarios y posibilidad de embarcar el coche de alquiler, moverse entre Islas Canarias en ferry es una de las opciones más elegidas y, bajo mi punto de vista, recomendable.

Dentro del archipiélago canario tenemos dos compañías fuertes que operan la mayoría de las rutas ofertadas: Fred Olsen y Naviera Armas. Además, cabe destacar la compañía Trasmediterránea, Líneas Romero y Biosfera Express que, aunque en menor medida, también operan algunos trayectos importantes entre islas.

Barcos en el Puerto de Fuerteventura.

Aunque hay una serie de itinerarios muy populares y solicitados entre los viajeros como Tenerife-Gran Canaria, Tenerife-La Gomera, Lanzarote-Fuerteventura, y, Lanzarote-La Graciosa, principalmente, las posibilidades son inmensas y conviene conocerlas en su totalidad.

EL MEJOR BUSCADOR DE FERRYS

Mi recomendación a la hora de consultar horarios, precios y hacer las reservas es utilizar un buscador que reúna la información de todas las compañías en una sola web. En este sentido, te recomiendo de primera mano el buscador de Ferryhopper.

Es una web muy sencilla de usar y permite hacer las reservas directamente desde su web. Ya lo he utilizado para comprar billetes en Baleares y Canarias y todo perfecto.

Para facilitarte la tarea organizativa, te dejo a continuación una lista con las principales rutas entre islas que operan en la actualidad y la duración de las mismas. He decidido incluir sólo conexiones directas por ser las más cómodas y rápidas. Por supuesto, estos itinerarios pueden sufrir cambios y/o cancelaciones a lo largo del año.

Rutas en ferry desde Tenerife

La isla de Tenerife cuenta con dos puertos de salida, uno situado en el norte, el Puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, y otro en el sur, el Puerto de Los Cristianos.

Barco de Tenerife a Gran Canaria (entre 1 hora y media y 2 horas desde el Puerto de Santa Cruz)

Gran Canaria es la tercera isla más grande y la segunda más poblada de Canarias. Al igual que Tenerife cuenta con dos puertos activos: el Puerto de Las Palmas y el Puerto de Agaete, ambos en el norte.

Rutas en ferry desde Fuerteventura

Nos vamos al sector oriental del archipiélago para conocer las conexiones directas desde Fuerteventura. La particularidad de esta isla, la segunda en extensión, es que cuenta con tres puertos: Puerto de Corralejo en el norte, Puerto del Rosario en el centro y Puerto de Morro Jable en el sur.

Rutas en ferry desde La Gomera

Hasta el momento, no hay conexión aérea directa a La Gomera desde la península, por lo que la opción del barco cobra más importancia que nunca. A pesar de su pequeño tamaño, La Gomera también cuenta con tres puertos operativos: el Puerto de San Sebastián en la capital, el Puerto de Valle Gran Rey en el oeste y el de Playa Santiago en el sur.

COCHE DE ALQUILER SI VAS A MONTAR EN FERRY

Cuando se trata de hacer una reserva de coche de alquiler siempre recomiendo buscar las mejores opciones en Rentalcars y Autoeurope. Ambos buscadores ofrecen coches de las mejores compañías y, en muchos casos, a mejores precios que en las webs oficiales de las propias compañías.

Sin embargo, si tienes pensado embarcar el coche en un ferry, las opciones se reducen mucho. La mayoría de compañías no lo permiten. En este caso, te recomiendo reservar directamente en la web de Cabrera Medina (o Cicar que son los mismos) puesto que con ellos sí puedes montar en ferry y cambiar de isla.

Rutas en ferry desde La Palma

Vamos con la isla bonita. Está claro que, tras la erupción del volcán Cumbre Vieja, La Palma está destinada a atraer más turismo que nunca. Y, por supuesto, una de las mejores opciones es llegar en ferry al puerto de Santa Cruz de la Palma, su capital.

Barco de La Palma a Tenerife (entre 3 y 4 horas desde Santa Cruz de la Palma)

Barco de La Palma a Gran Canaria (7 horas y media desde Santa Cruz de la Palma)

Barco de La Palma a La Gomera (entre 3 y 5 horas desde Santa Cruz de La Palma)

Rutas en ferry desde El Hierro

Seguramente, la isla más desconocida y, a la vez, más fascinante de las Islas Canarias. Tampoco cuenta con vuelos directos desde la península, así que te aconsejo consultar las rutas hasta y desde su único puerto, el de Valverde.

Barco de El Hierro a Tenerife (unas 2 horas y media desde Valverde)

Rutas en ferry desde La Graciosa

La más chiquitita de todas, la octava isla. La única forma de acceder a ella es en barco y sólo cuenta con conexiones directas desde el Puerto de Órzola de Lanzarote. Una travesía marítima de media hora que cuenta con muchas frecuencias diarias. Si quieres saber más sobre ello, puedes consultar el post sobre cómo ir a La Graciosa desde Lanzarote.

Barco de La Graciosa a Lanzarote (media hora desde el puerto de Caleta de Sebo)

Recuerda que todas las rutas que he señalado son directas de isla a isla, es decir las más habituales. También hay conexiones indirectas con paradas en puertos intermedios o enlazando dos barcos diferentes.

Para tenerlo aún más claro, te aconsejo consultar el mapa de conexiones marítimas de Ferryhopper. Es súper útil y gráfico verlo todo reflejado en un mapa.

Cómo moverse por Canarias en avión

Si valoras la rapidez por encima de todo, moverte en avión entre las Islas Canarias será tu mejor opción. Al igual que en el caso del ferry, también cuentas con muchísimas rutas, frecuencias y, si reservas con cierta antelación, puedes pillar buenos precios.

Exceptuando la isla de La Graciosa a la que sólo se puede acceder por vía marítima, el resto de islas cuentan con su propio aeropuerto o dos en el caso de Tenerife. 8 aeropuertos en total que conectan las islas a través de rutas de una duración siempre inferior a una hora.

Aeropuerto de El Hierro.

En cuanto a compañías, en este caso, las únicas que por el momento operan este tipo de vuelos insulares son las locales Binter Canarias y Canaryfly. He volado con ambas y sólo puedo decir cosas buenas de ellas.

Rutas aéreas directas en Canarias

No te voy a contar nada que no sepas si te digo que las rutas aéreas están sujetas a infinidad de cambios en los últimos tiempos. Aún así, te voy a dejar una pequeña lista con los trayectos aéreos en avión más estables.

Desde el aeropuerto de Tenerife Norte hay vuelos directos a: Gran Canaria, La Palma, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Gomera y el Hierro.

Desde el aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur hay vuelos directos a: Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura y La Palma.

Desde el aeropuerto de Gran Canaria hay vuelos directos a: Tenerife Norte, Tenerife Sur, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera y El Hierro.

EL MEJOR BUSCADOR DE VUELOS

No es ningún secreto que soy fan absoluta del buscador de Skyscanner desde hace mucho años para consultar horarios, precios y opciones de vuelos en una determinada ruta. Eso sí, una vez que tengas claras las posibilidades y cuál es la que más te interesa, en este caso, te aconsejo reservarla desde la web de la propia aerolinea. La página de Skyscanner te va a dar esta posibilidad.

Si me permites darte un último consejo, te recomiendo viajar a Canarias protegido con un seguro de viaje privado. El Covid-19 lo ha puesto todo patas arriba y contar con una seguridad extra que te permita anular el viaje ante contagio, cuarentena y contacto estrecho, o te pague los gastos si tienes que alargar la estancia por el mismo motivo, entre otras coberturas, no tiene precio.

Un buen seguro de viaje de una semana para Canarias de Iati Seguros (mi compañía de confianza) te cuesta menos de 6 euros (sí, es una miseria) y, además, tengo un 5% de descuento adicional por contratar el seguro desde este link.

En definitiva y a modo de resumen, para billetes más económicos, comodidad y posibilidad de trasladar el coche de alquiler entre islas, el barco será tu mayor aliado en Canarias. En cambio, si prefieres rapidez y no te importa pagar más, el avión es la mejor opción.

Y con esto y un bizcocho, hemos terminado este completísimo repaso por los medios de transporte para moverse entre las Islas Canarias. Espero que te sea de la mayor utilidad. Pero no te despegues porque, a continuación, te dejo un montón de guías super completas de las 8 Islas Canarias y, como siempre, la sección de comentarios abierta para resolver dudas o recibir sugerencias.

20 Best Gran Canaria Excursions

Many see Gran Canaria as a place where tourists go for the sole purpose of getting drunk in an all-inclusive atmosphere. I found they couldn’t be more wrong.

There are some fantastic things to do in Gran Canaria – from fantastic watersports to dolphin watching to jeep safaris to brilliant food in areas like Maspalomas to the Gran Canaria markets to gorgeous old towns.

There is a multitude of Gran Canaria excursions and day trips on offer. No wonder this island is marketed as a “miniature continent” with the breadth of variety on offer.

How to get to Gran Canaria & Get Around

When to visit Gran Canaria

Gran Canara Boutique Hotels

Who Paid for What with this Post

Gran Canaria is known as a miniature continent with good reason. There is a massive range of day tours and guided tours to take across the island.

As Gran Canaria is not that big no matter where you are based you should be able to experience any and all of the following Gran Canaria tours.

The cute blue door on the harbour in Las Palmas, the capital city of the Canary Islands

1. Experience the Dunes

Maspalomas is in the south of Gran Canaria and the home of the sand dunes. There were other areas of sand dunes in Gran Canaria (Las Palmas for one) before development. Maspalomas Gran Canaria is now the only one left and is a heritage site.

The stunning dunes of Maspalomas

The dunes literally start from the beach. They are across 1000 acres and as it is rather hot on them some kind of tour is a great idea to give a feel for the dunes.

It is not easy to find your way around the dunes. There are some paths but I never feel safe wandering somewhere so dry and hot solo.

The best way to experience the Dunes is to take a Camel Ride. This tour takes about 40 minutes (which is all you need in the heat!), protects your feet and gives you a great feel for the dunes. All of that at a very low cost.

Water on the dunes of Maspalomas

2. Sightseeing and Culture Tours in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has some great and interesting cities to explore. The capital Las Palmas has an atmospheric old quarter called Vegeuta. The buildings of this area have been standing for nearly five centuries.

I loved hearing about how the streets of Las Palmas literally snake in shape due to the fact that locals wanted to confuse potential attackers.

The streets of Las Palmas

Then on to the lovely harbour area of Las Palmas Gran Canaria which to my mind gives the Bondi to Coogee Walk a run for its money.

If you are tight on time and want to get a feel for the island this Explore the cities of Gran Canaria tour is a great option. This is sort of a Gran Canaria Highlights tour and covers some of the key towns as well normally includes a stop at a rum distillery.

All entrance fees and pick up and drop off at your hotel are included in the price which makes it great value.

Palm trees in Las Palmas!

If you’re more interested in the North of the island this Full Day tour of North Gran Canaria is perfect. The day covers the gorgeous mountain town of Teror (my favourite), a climb to Roque Nublo if you are up for it (another Gran Canaria highlight), volcanic playa stop with a swim, a coffee plantation and some almond tasting.

This really covers the highlights of Gran Canaria in one easy pickup and drop off at your hotel tour.

⇒ Love Italy? Me too! You might enjoy reading about the Most Beautiful Cities in Italy, Most Famous Landmarks in Italy, Top Rome Monuments, Top Venice Landmarks, Bridges in Rome, Fountains in Rome, Venetian Palaces, How to Skip the Line at the Colosseum, Best Ski Resorts in Italy, Best Wineries in Montepulciano, Things to do in Rimini, Places to Visit in Puglia and Things to do in Sicily.

3. Gran Canaria Boat Trips

As you would expect there are loads of boat trips on offer all over Gran Canaria. If you are staying in the south of the island have a look at this 4 hour boat trip from Mogan.

What I liked about this tour is it is only 4 hours vs an entire day (can get too hot with a whole day) and is in a rather luxurious vessel.

Lunch is included (along with wine) and you are able to swim and snorkel from the boat. And this boat tour runs Monday through Friday so it is nice and flexible.

The beach in Las Palmas

For checking out the local wildlife there is no better option than this Dolphin and Whale Watching from Mogan tour. Again, this tour is based in the south of the island and sets off from Arguineguín pier (hotel pick up and drop off is also included).

The tour only lasts 2 1/2 hours – again for me that is enough time to be out on the often very hot open sea scouting for wildlife.

The tour runs at either 1115 or 215. This way you can either have a leisurely morning or afternoon at your hotel, do an activity and still be fresh for drinks.

⇒ Book your Water Adventure on Gran Canaria

4. Learn some Water Activities

There is a huge range of water activities on offer in Gran Canaria. The consistent weather means it is a great place to try some activities you may not have before.

If you are looking to try Scuba for the first time this Introduction to Scuba Diving is the perfect tour. This scuba diving course is a full day and includes getting into the open water so you really get a feel for whether or not scuba is for you.

So many scuba courses require you to commit several days which can be tough if you’re not sure if it’s for you.

⇒ Read all about Paxos Greece as well as the best Paxos restaurants and Paxos beaches. Or find out how to get from Santorini to Ios, the best things to do in Ios and a complete guide to Mylopotas Beach. And don’t miss 11 Famous Greek Landmarks, 13 Best Halkidiki Beaches, 27 Fantastic Things to do in Thessaloniki, 37 Fascinating Facts About Greece, 13 Most Beautiful Islands in Greece and my 10 Days in Greece Itinerary.

Walking along the waterfront in Las Palmas

The same goes for surfing. This introduction to surfing course lasts 4 hours – long enough for a beginner to have quite a few tries and see if it is for you or not. The lesson is great value and if you like it there is an option to move on to a 3-day course.

If standing up on the board is a bit more than you want to try out why not see if you like Body Boarding? This lesson also runs for 4 hours and gives you a good chance to figure out if bodyboarding is for you or not.

Stand up paddle boarding seems to be everywhere at the moment – this 2-hour Paddle Surf lesson is a great way to test it out.

Or try a different type of padding with Paddle Yoga and Pilates. You’ll have a certified instructor to guide you through this one hour lesson. Make sure to check the weather though as it only runs at low tide.

⇒ Learn a new hobby whilst on Gran Canaria

5. Explore the Outdoors

There is much more on offer than just water activities for those seeking some adventure and activity. One of my favourite Gran Canaria experiences was the walk up to the base of Roque Nublo (1813m).

Roque Nublo is the highest point on the island and it is a stunning walk (about 1.5km each way).

Roque Nublo

What I really like about the Full day Gran Canaria Peaks tour from Las Palmas is that it combines some exercise with some eating. You will climb up to Roque Nublo as well as Pico de las Nieves, the highest point of the island.

The tour also includes visits to the cute mountain towns of San Mateo and Vallesco where you can taste some of the local cheese, almond and wine delicacies – and do some shopping.

Views on the walk up to Roque Nublo

Gran Canaria is a great place to figure out if rock climbing is for you. This four-hour Climbing lesson is designed for those with no experience (or with some) and has trained instructors providing a perfect taster.

Or if climbing isn’t for you why not try this introduction to Canyoning tour.

Wildflowers on Gran Canaria

The stable weather on Gran Canaria also makes it an ideal place to try paragliding. This Paragliding Tandem Flight can run for either 20 minutes or 45 minutes and takes off and lands around Las Palmas.

⇒ Save Time & Stress – Book Your Outdoor Activity Now

6. Food and Wine Options

I was blown away by the quality of the food and wine in Gran Canaria. The temperature and location mean much of what you eat will have been grown nearby and you can taste it. The quality of the fruit and vegetables is fantastic and the seafood amazing.

If you are based in or near Las Palmas (or have a car) this Small Group 3 ½ hour Tapas tour in Las Palmas is the perfect way to explore the old town of Las Palmas and try the local cuisine.

The tour kicks off at 5 pm so it covers you for dinner (there are 5 tasting stops) and is a perfect way to spend the evening if you’re travelling solo.

A friendly vendor in the market in Las Palmas

Sunday is the market day on Gran Canaria. Some of the best markets are held in the small towns of the mountains.

However, without a car, they are very difficult to get to. Even with a car, the roads are very windy and parking is difficult.

So a great solution is to take the Explore the markets of Gran Canaria tour. This tour covers the 3 key market towns – including the wonderful Teror – and gives you all the insider tips.

⇒ Click here to read my Complete Guide to Gran Canaria Markets

Fruit market stall

For coffee lovers, this Finca Coffee Tour will take you to a Finca where you will see how coffee is grown and harvested – and of course, taste some. The tour runs at 930 every morning and only takes 90 minutes so you’ll be back by the pool before you know it.

Serious foodies will love the Full-Day Culinary Tour of Gran Canaria This 8-hour tour takes you across the entire island, allowing you to sample so much of what Gran Canaria has to offer.

Spices on sale in the Las Palmas market

⇒ Another fantastic island in the Canaries is Lanzarote. Read about the 14 Things to do on Lanzarote you must not miss and the Best Place to Stay in Lanzarote – and don’t miss my post on 12 Beautiful Spain Famous Landmarks.

I was also surprised to discover Gran Canaria wine – and that there are quite a few wineries. Winery product on the island is still very small with many steps done by hand.

This means that there are not adequate quantities to ship the wine overseas – so all of the wine stays on Gran Canaria. As the local wage on Gran Canaria is not particularly high even great bottles have quite low prices.

The quality of the wines and the processes used to produce them are there – both whites and reds. I found the whites so drinkable – scarily quaffable.

⇒ Planning a trip to Turkey? Read my Istanbul 3 Day Itinerary, Gallipoli tours from Istanbul, 7 Day Turkey Itinerary and 3 Day Cappadocia Itinerary.

Mercado del Puerto Las Palmas

Most hotels and restaurants serve local wines on Gran Canaria so they are quite easy to try out. If you have a car you can easily plot a route to visit a few wineries over a day.

However, it is so much easier to take a guided tour – and it means you can taste properly. This  Full-Day Wine Tour will have you visiting several wineries and even potentially meeting some winemakers.

If a full day sounds like more than you can handle why not try a Wine Tasting Morning instead?

Enjoying a Gran Canaria red!

If you have a car and are keen to explore on your own that check out Bodega Los Lirios, a winery near Las Palmas that runs private tours and sells direct.

Bodega Los Lirios has a strong focus on quality and produces only a superior and a table wine some years. Their superior wine is delicious and amazing value for money.

I had a lovely tasting at Bodega Los Lirios (they also have a very strong sweet wine) which included some amazing local cheese and “hard bread”.

Mountain top towns in Gran Canaria

Bodega Las Tirajanas is a winery that is nearly in the middle of the island. It was highly recommended to me by my hotel but I didn’t get a chance to visit – so if you do please write to me and I will update this post with your views.

The winery is open Mon-Fri 10 am-1600 and sat-sun 10 am-1400.

It is possible to book a guided tour of Bodega Las Tirajanas and a tasting with cheeses and olives from the area.

And finally, a great local company which I used and runs a mix of the above is Trip Gran Canaria. Ask for Selene – she is brilliant.

How to get to Gran Canaria & Get Around

Gran Canaria is a 4-hour flight from London. Considering how far it is flights are very reasonably priced. However, the key carriers are Easy Jet, Ryan Air, Tui etc which means Stansted and Luton.

A pain for me but might work for you. Easy Jet does do flights from Gatwick but their return flight gets you in quite late eg after midnight.

⇒ Flights to Gran Canaria

Once you arrive definitely the best option is to hire a car. It is super easy to drive around the island – it is essentially one big round road.

Do watch out when heading into the interior. What can seem a short distance on the map can take some time due to windy roads and mountains.

The beach in Las Palmas

When to visit Gran Canaria

Due to its location, Gran Canaria has quite consistently spring-like weather all year round. Peak season is generally seen as May through November where temperatures vary between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius from August to October.

December till April temperatures hover around 22 degrees Celsius – so basically a great temperature all year round. Seasonality tends to be more driven by the prices of airfares rather than the temperature.

Cute bar at the market in Las Palmas

Gran Canara Boutique Hotels

The two key areas for hotels in Gran Canaria are Las Palmas and around and then down in the south in the Maspalomas and Meloneras areas.

These are where the majority of Gran Canaria hotels are located and usually ensure that you are not too far from the action for dinner or drinks.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Salobre Resort. Salobre is near Maspalomas but is about a 15-minute drive into the interior of the island – mainly due to the fact that it is based around a golf course.

For quite a large hotel Salobre has a fantastic boutique feel. The design and the details are all very stylish. As the hotel covers quite a big area physically it never feels busy.

Cava at lovely Salobre Resort

Importantly the hotel has seven pools. Yes, seven. My favourite was the adults-only Sunset pool which is located on the top floor of the resort. The pool has its own bar and a very large area for deck chairs and beds.

Who Paid for What with this Post

Gran Canaria Tourism was kind enough to cover the costs of my hotel, hire car, most meals and activities during my visit. I paid for my airfare. But as always my opinions are my own.

This post on Gran Canaria excursions contains affiliate links. What that means is that if you click through on them and make a purchase I will generally receive a small commission. I just wanted to make sure that you knew.

Windsurfers Secret – Gran Canaria Official Tourism Site

Windsurfer’s Secret

Ten reasons to come back

What makes Gran Canaria the European capital of windsurfing?

The best windsurfers in Europe have always understood this. All of them allocate a significant part of the year to spend it on the island. On Gran Canaria they have everything you need: wind, beaches in a good climate. Because when it comes to wind, there are few places in the world that offer conditions like Pozo Izquierdo or Vargas. This is a real Mecca for windsurfers, meeting point for the best of them.

You don’t have to be a professional though. If you want to start one of the most exciting sports and are looking for beaches where you can do it, without any doubt, Gran Canaria is the perfect place. Whatever your level, you will always find a corner with suitable conditions. Both those who try it for the first time, and the most advanced.

But if you have already been infected with windsurfing, if you have already felt, at least once, the speed of the board on the wave, if you understand what you are losing by not being on the water right now with your board, then you should come to the island. All windsurfers know that their must-see destination is Gran Canaria.

And if you don’t believe me, ask the best of them. For example, the greatest champion on the board, Bjorn Dunkerberk. Or the sisters Daidu and Ibayu Ruano, who live on the island for most of the year. They have no doubt: to train every day you have to be in Gran Canaria. This is the secret that made these three athletes the best of the best. Only by riding here, you will understand it.

Whatever time of year you come to windsurf, the Pozo Izquierdo area is a must. This is the highest point for a windsurfer. The trade winds and sea currents in this area of Gran Canaria have turned the beach into the center of the annual world championships. Here is the Pozo Izquierdo International Windsurfing Center (el Centro Internacional de Windsurfing de Pozo Izquierdo), which provides the opportunity to learn and practice this sport at any level. It is also a meeting place for the best athletes on competition days.

But it’s not just wind and beaches. Do not forget that the wonderful climate of the island encourages you not to stay at home.

Loading a board and sail into a car and driving around the island in search of wind is a strange hobby practiced here every weekend. Because in Gran Canaria it is not difficult to find a place where you can develop speed on the water. It is also not a problem to meet somewhere waves from one to three meters high. No need to limit yourself to Pozo Izquierdo, you can get directions along the beaches of Ojos de Garza, Tarajalillo, Bahía Feliz, Playa del Águila, San Agustin (San Agustín), Playa del Inglés, Tauro or Puerto Rico. Depends on your level and how much adrenaline you would like to get.

I’m sure the question you’re asking now is when can I get into the water?

Hvad betyder Watt, Kilowatt og Kilowatt-time?

Watt er elbranchens primære måleenhed og er et udtryk for strømmens effekt eller kraft. Når du f.eks. ønsker at blive klogere på, hvor effektiv og stærk din varmepump, dit køleskab eller din mikroovn er, så skal du kigge på elementets Watttal. Kilowatt, også forkortet kW, er én ud af flere mængdeangivelser med Watt. 1 kW svarer til 1000 Watt, imens f.eks. Megawatt er 1000 kW osv.

Kilowatt-timer, også forkortet kWh, angiver mængden af strøm du bruger pr. time.

Kontakt os nu

Hvad betyder SEER-værdi i forbindelse med varmepumper?

SEER-værdi står for ”Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio” og angiver forholdet mellem den strøm du bruger og den mængde køling du får ud af din luft-til-luft varmepumpe med klimakøl. Jo højere SEER-værdi, des mere effektiv er klimakølen i din varmepumpe.

SEER-værdien er, modsat EER-værdien, baseret på flere prøvninger og beregninger over et helt år, så den udsættes for langt flere forhold som højere og lavere temperaturer, mere og mindre vind osv. SEER-værdien kan derfor give dig et mere præcist billede af, hvordan din luft-til-luft varmepumpe med klimakøl præsterer året rundt.

Eksempel: En luft-til-luft varmepumpe med klimakøl kan have en SEER-værdi på 4, hvilket betyder at varmepumpen i gennemsnit leverer 4 gange så meget energi end den elektriske energi den bruger.

Kontakt os nu

Hvad betyder EER-værdi i relation til varmpeumper?

EER-værdi står for ”Energy Efficient Ratio” og angiver forholdet mellem den strøm du bruger og den mængde køling du får ud af din luft-til-luft varmepumpe med klimakøl. Jo højere EER-værdi, des mere effektiv er klimakølen i din varmepumpe.

EER-værdi giver et øjebliksbillede af, hvor effektiv varmepumpen er, fordi den er baseret på en enkelt prøvning ved en bestemt temperatur. For en mere præcis information om din luft-til-luft varmepumpe, kan man se på anlæggets SEER-værdi, der tager højde for effektiviteten over et helt år og for de mange forskellige temperatur-, vind- og vejrforskelle vi har i Danmark.

Eksempel: En luft-til-vand varmepumpe kan have en EER-værdi på 4 når temperaturen udenfor er 4°C. Men skifter temperaturen, så kan EER-værdien ændre sig.

Kontakt os nu

Hvad betyder SCOP-værdi når det kommer til varmepumper?

SCOP-værdi står for ”Seasonal Coefficient Of Performance” og angiver, ligesom COP-værdien, forholdet mellem den strøm du bruger og den varme du får. Forskellen ligger dog i, at SCOP-værdien giver en langt bedre indikation af varmepumpens effektivitet fordi den

Er baseret på flere prøvninger fordelt over hele året

Er baseret på langt flere beregninger

Tager højde for temperaturskift og generelle forandringer i vind, vejr og årstider For SCOP-værdien gælder også at jo højere tal varmepumpen har, des mere effektiv er den.

Eksempel: En luft-til-luft varmepumpe kan have en SCOP-værdi på 4, hvilket betyder at varmepumpen i gennemsnit leverer 4 gange så meget energi end den elektriske energi den bruger.

Kontakt os nu

Hvad betyder COP i relation til en varmepumpe?

COP står for ”Coefficient Of Performance” og angiver forholdet mellem den strøm du bruger og den varme du får. Jo højere COP-værdi, des mere effektiv er varmepumpen.

COP-værdien er en god guide til at få en idé om varmepumpens effektivitet, men er samtidig også afhængig af at temperaturen er den samme. Den tager med andre ord ikke højde for, at temperaturerne og årstiderne skifter. Her er SCOP-værdien en nyere og mere præcis effektivitetsmåling.

Selvom både COP og SCOP har samme fundament, så viser SCOP årsmiddelberegninger, alt imens COP kun giver et øjebliksbillede.

Eksempel:En luft-til-vand varmepumpe kan have en COP-værdi på 4 når temperaturen udenfor er 4°C og vandet har en fremløbstemperatur på 36°C. Men skifter temperaturen, så kan COP-værdien ændre sig.

Kontakt os nu

Hjælper I med at bortskaffe det gamle fyr?

Ja, vi hjælper dig gerne med at bortskaffe det gamle fyr. Vi tager et minimum for at tage det med, og du sparer dermed en masse tid og energi på selv at skulle komme af med det.

Kontakt os nu

Kan jeg selv montere en varmepumpe?

Nej. Det er desværre ikke muligt at montere din varmepumpe selv, da det er et lovkrav at varmepumper skal installeres af KMO-certificerede montører. Vi kan dog trøste dig med, at vi både kan fjerne din gamle varmekilde, montere din nye varmepumpe OG yde dig en fantastisk service med smil på læben og højt humør. Du får dermed lidt mere for pengene, og sparer samtidig din egen tid og energi.

Kontakt os nu

Hvor lang tid tager en installation af varmepumpen?

En luft-til-luft varmepumpe kan typisk installeres på nogle timer, alt efter forholdene. En luft-til-vand varmepumpe kræver lidt mere, da vores montører skal grave rør ned til brugsvandet. Her tager installationen oftest kun 1-2 dage.

Vi går aldrig ned på kvaliteten og den gode service, men vi bestræber os altid på at udføre vores arbejde så hurtigt som muligt – selvom vi gerne ville blive lidt længere

Kontakt os nu

Hvorfor skal jeg vælge en varmepumpe til mit sommerhus?

Vi sælger mange varmepumper til sommerhus- og kolonihaveejere, fordi varmepumper er en billig og effektiv måde at holde dit fritidshjem varmt og/eller koldt når du er der. Samtidig kan du med 8/10 grader funktionen indstille varmepumpen til at varme op til enten 8 eller 10 grader og dermed holde huset tilpas varmt så du slipper for dårlig lugt, frosne rør osv. når huset står tomt.

Kontakt os nu

Kan varmepumpen alene opvarme huset om vinteren?

Ja. Vores varmepumper kan godt alene stå for opvarmningen af huset op om vinteren. Det vigtigste er at monteringen af varmepumpen er lavet korrekt – og det sørger vi naturligvis for at den er.
