Fines of up to 1,000 euros can be handed out for electric scooter offences in Spain

The Directorate-General for Traffic has reminded riders that standard traffic rules, and applicable penalties, apply to the personal mobility vehicles
With the boom in the use of electric scooters Spain’s traffic authority has issued a reminder on social media about the rules that apply to users.
It comes as a survey of scooter users conducted by insurance company RACC revealed that most of those surveyed claimed to be unaware of these basic rules. The most serious aspect, according to the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) is that 43 per cent of those surveyed admitted to riding on the pavement, and 12 per cent had suffered an accident involving personal injury.
The traffic authority reminds electric scooter users that it is forbidden to ride on pavements, pedestrian areas, crossings, motorways, dual carriageways, interurban roads or tunnels in urban areas. Speed must be between six and 25 km/h and it is compulsory to have a braking system, a bell, lights and reflective devices at the front and rear.

In addition, the DGT noted that the authorised routes must be set out in law by the relevant urban authority and, if there is no such law, it is permitted to circulate on any urban road.
In the case of Malaga city, the town hall’s mobility law states that “those using skateboards, scooters or similar devices, which are not considered to be vehicles, whether or not motorised, may not circulate on the road, except in areas, roads or parts of these that are specially designated for them. They may only circulate, adapting their speed to that of pedestrians, without ever exceeding 10 km/h, on pavements, residential streets or streets with pedestrian priority, duly signposted. Scooter users may also ride on cycle paths under the aforementioned conditions”.
Tough penalties
The toughest penalties are those related to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The new Traffic Law stipulates that electric scooter users can be subject to a breathalyser test, just like other drivers. A zero blood alcohol limit has been introduced for underage drivers.
Riding an electric scooter with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air carries a fine of 500 euros, and if the level of 0.50 mg/l is exceeded, the fine rises to 1,000 euros. In the case of drugs, the fine is 1,000 euros.
Using a mobile phone or any other communication device while driving a scooter carries a fine of 200 euros; the same amount as if driving with headphones, driving at night without lighting or reflective clothing or not wearing a helmet (if the relevant municipal law makes this measure compulsory).

The use of scooters is one of the things that people are finding most annoying and frustrating when coming on holiday, whether they are being ridden by residents or tourists, as most users seem to be blatantly ignoring rules for wearing helmets, not riding on pavements or pedestrian areas, and just dumping them wherever they want when they’ve finished with them.
With this in mind, the DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic) have issued a reminder on social media about the rules that apply to scooter users, after a survey conducted by insurance company RACC revealed that most of those surveyed claimed to be unaware of the basic rules.
The most serious aspect, according to the DGT is that 43% of those surveyed admitted to riding on the pavement, and 12% had suffered an accident involving personal injury.
In their reminder, they remind electric scooter users that it is forbidden to ride on pavements, pedestrian areas, zebra crossings, motorways, dual carriageways, interurban roads, or tunnels in urban areas, speed must be between 6 and 25km/h, and it is compulsory to have a braking system, a bell or horn, lights and reflective devices at the front and rear.
In many parts of Spain, and the Canary Islands, there are networks of cycle lanes which are the authorised routes that scooters must abide by, however, if these don’t exist, which is the case in many tourist areas, they are only permitted to circulate on urban roads.
Penalties and fines for misuse:
The toughest penalties related to scooter use, are for riding them under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The new Traffic Law stipulates that electric scooter users can be subject to a breathalyser test, just like other drivers. A zero blood alcohol limit has been introduced for riders under the legal age to drive.
Riding an electric scooter with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air carries a fine of 500 euros, and if the level of 0.50 mg/l is exceeded, the fine rises to 1,000 euros. In the case of drugs, the fine is 1,000 euros.
Using a mobile phone or any other communication device while driving a scooter carries a fine of 200 euros; the same amount as if driving wearing headphones, driving at night without lights or reflective clothing, or not wearing a helmet. All we need now is for the police to start implementing them as the feedback we are getting from you, is that they seem to be turning a blind eye.

New legal The base, which takes effect this Monday, March 21, is also making it mandatory for scooters to wear a helmet and permanently removing them from sidewalks next to bicycles.
In Spain, a new traffic law comes into force on March 21st.
This Monday, March 21, the reform of the Road Traffic Law comes into force, which entails a number of amendments aimed at improving road safety and reducing accidents, among which there is more rigidity in the form of more retention for those who drive using with their mobile phone and those who do not use a seat belt, child restraint system or helmet.
In addition, another important change is that the 20 km/h margin that was made available for overtaking on normal roads is being eliminated, and a number of measures are in place for bicycles and scooters to improve their own safety. drivers and pedestrians, since, among other things, new government regulation permanently forces personal vehicles off the sidewalks. These are the main changes that will take effect.
Safety and driving
The main innovation in terms of driving is that the possibility, which until now was for drivers of cars and motorcycles exceeding the maximum speed limit on ordinary roads by 20 km/h, to overtake other vehicles has been eliminated.
Similarly, in order to overtake a bicycle or moped, the driver must completely occupy the adjacent lane on roads with two or more lanes. On single-lane roads, a minimum side distance of 1.5 meters must be observed. Failure to comply is penalized by the loss of 6 points.
In an attempt to reduce driving distractions, which are a major cause of accidents involving injuries, the new rules further penalize phone-in-hand driving by deducting 6 points instead of 3.
Failure to use seat belts, child restraint systems, and other protection elements will result in the loss of 4 four points, compared with the current 3.
Throwing objects on or near the road that could start a fire or cause an accident will be penalized with 6 points instead of 4, in addition to the corresponding fine of €500 for a very serious offence.
The safety of pedestrians is enhanced by the fact that they always have priority over vehicles at crosswalks, sidewalks and pedestrian areas. This measure is aimed directly at personal vehicles such as bicycles and scooters.
Similarly, stopping or parking in a bike lane is considered a serious offense (€200 fine), which makes this sanction equivalent to other similar sanction such as doing it in bus lanes or parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities.
Tampering with the monitoring and control system
It will always be forbidden to have radar blockers in vehicles, whether they are connected or not, as they can interfere with the correct operation of speedometers installed on the road network. This means a loss of 3 points and a fine of 200 euros.
Motorcycles and mopeds
Motorcycle and moped riders are permitted to wear certified or homologated wireless communication or navigation devices on their helmets. What is prohibited is the wearing of a mobile phone fixed between the helmet and the head.
Not wearing a helmet or wearing it incorrectly will result in a loss of 4 points instead of 3 sets so far.
Bicycles and scooters
New state regulations unify the criteria for personal vehicles, permanently removing them from sidewalks and other pedestrian spaces in an attempt to improve pedestrian protection. Therefore, they must travel on cycle paths or, otherwise, on the road, but not on motorways or highways.
The use of a helmet will become mandatory when riding a scooter or any other personal vehicle. With regard to bicycles, the requirement for their transportation on intercity roads remains, and in cities this is mandatory only for children under 16 years old.
Taking into account the spread of the use of electric bicycles and scooters among minors, for them, as drivers of any vehicles, a zero alcohol norm is set. If, as a general rule, the limit is 0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood or 0.25 milligrams per liter of exhaled air), then for minors it is 0.0.
Driver’s license and points balance
The card points recovery system does not change, but the terms change. Regardless of the violations committed, the period for restoring the original balance of 12 points is unified in two years, provided that no new violations are committed that lead to a decrease in points.
In administrative matters, it is no longer necessary to carry a driver’s license and can be accredited through the “miDGT” application.

about rules for scooters and blood alcohol level • Slutsk • Newspaper “Іnfa-Kur’er”
On August 1, an addition to the Law of the Republic of Belarus “On Road Traffic”, regulating the movement of mopeds and scooters, came into force. And on August 12, another tightening awaits all drivers: the permissible level of alcohol in the blood is reduced to 0.3 ppm.
STAY INFORMED. The Slutsk State traffic inspectorate warns: from August 12, the permissible level of alcohol in the blood is 0.3 ppm.
Clarifications on these issues were provided to “Kur’er” by Valery Usovich, head of the Slutsk traffic police department.
A scooter is a full-fledged participant in road traffic
“From August 1, drivers of mopeds and scooters when driving on roads are required to carry and hand over to the traffic police for verification the following documents: responsibility of vehicle owners. A moped (scooter) must be registered and registered with the traffic police department and have a state registration number, Valery Usovich said. – Thus, drivers of mopeds when driving on the roads bear the same responsibility as the owners of other vehicles.
Advertising
This also applies to drunk driving. There are scooters who believe that you can’t drive a car while drunk, but you can ride a moped. This is not true! The driver of a moped (scooter) who has exceeded the permissible level of alcohol content in the blood is automatically deprived of the right to drive all types of vehicles, including a tractor.
As noted by the interlocutor, drivers are also required to know that during daylight hours, both on motorcycles and on mopeds (scooters), the dipped headlights must be turned on. “This is a prerequisite for moving on the roads,” he said. – For failure to comply with this requirement, a fine of up to 2 basic units is imposed on the driver of a moped (scooter). I would like to remind scooters a number of other points. First: in the back seat of motorcycles and mopeds, the carriage of passengers under the age of 12 is prohibited. And the second: movement on a moped should be carried out along the side of the road or the carriageway no further than one meter from the right edge (driving further than 1 m is allowed only to avoid obstacles, turn left or turn around).
It went off scale – forget about the rights for three years
The debate that it is time to change the legal blood alcohol level in Belarus from 0.5 ppm to 0.3 has been going on for several years, and now it has happened. “The fact is that it is impossible to fine every fourth driver out of all those detained by the traffic police while drunk: they have a blood alcohol content of up to 0.5 ppm,” said Valery Usovich. – In total, since the beginning of the year, 300 drunk drivers have been identified on Slutsk roads, in which the alcohol test showed the presence of alcohol in the blood of 0.5 ppm and above. This year, a Slutsk resident became the record holder for this indicator, whose alcohol test determined 4.28 ppm. In my practice, there was a case when the blood alcohol content of a driver from Soligorsk reached 6 ppm. From the car he was taken immediately to the intensive care unit. According to the interlocutor, since the beginning of the year, 240 Slutsk residents have lost their driver’s licenses due to drunk driving.
The largest number of drunk drivers – 60-70% of the total – is detected on weekends, weekends and holidays. “In connection with the innovation, the Slutsk Department of the State Traffic Inspectorate asks all road users to take this information into account, draw the appropriate conclusions and be ready for changes,” said Valery Usovich. “Driving any vehicle (car, motorcycle, moped, scooter) while intoxicated entails a 100% suspension of your driver’s license for three years and a fine.” According to the interlocutor, a mobile drug treatment center will help identify drunk drivers, which will go weekly to areas with heavy traffic. Right on the road, a narcologist will test drivers for the content of alcohol in the blood.
BTW. As Olga Tarasova, a narcologist at the Slutsk Central District Hospital, told an IK correspondent, another innovation awaits drivers from August 12: traffic police inspectors, having stopped the car, will be able to examine its driver on the spot.
Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, sparkles with a stunning coastline, staggering limestone bluffs, and Mediterannean charm. Crowned by the capital Palma de Mallorca, a walled city, the island nurtures secluded coves, impressive natural landscapes, and beaches surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Visitors can orient themselves on a hop-on hop-off bus tour of Palma to admire gothic Bellver Castle, Palma Arab Baths, and Palma La Seu Cathedral, which is illuminated at night. If your cruise ship docks in Mallorca for the day, opt for a guided tour that covers the stone city of Valldemossa and La Granja village; the stunning Soller Valley; and the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site where thrill seekers can try cliff jumping. Bike and Segway tours take you through the winding streets of Palma’s Old Town and Gothic quarter; stop by family-friendly Palma Aquarium and the mysterious Caves of Drach, shrouded in stalactites and mysterious rock formations. Culinary tours invite foodies and friends to taste their way across the region: Spend the evening sampling tapas or sipping sangria in Palma, catch a Son Amar dinner and flamenco show, take a wine-tasting tour of Mallorca’s vineyards and wine cellars, or master Spanish dishes like gazpacho, paella, and Catalan cream during a cooking class.

Because it is difficult to reach, crowds are nearly nonexistent and you may even have the beach to yourself.Opening out into a wide sea inlet, the soft and sandy beach is surrounded by tall, rocky cliffs and Mediterranean forest. It is hard to imagine clearer or more vibrantly colored waters. The stunning beach is most popular with those who love the outdoors and don’t mind some hiking — as it is only accessible by boat or foot. Those who go will undoubtedly agree that the trek is worth it. Boat operators often lead tours from town. It’s quietest in the morning and evening.More

Tombs and chapels line its walls, leading to its stunning medieval cloister filled with citrus and palm trees.The statue outside the church is of Franciscan monk Junipero Serra.

A local’s pocket guide to Mallorca
The first thing you should do in Mallorca is…
walk around Palma city, visit the cathedral, and immerse yourself in the Mediterranean spirit.
A perfect Saturday in Mallorca. ..
involves visiting monuments such as the cathedral or the Royal Palace of the Almudaina in Palma, enjoying barbecued octopus for lunch, and driving to Es Trenc beach to relax.
One touristy thing that lives up to the hype is…
Cuevas del Drach. It’s a very popular attraction on the island but it’s worth going to admire the incredible rock formations and to catch a classic concert.
To discover the “real” Mallorca…
head to the East coast and visit Alcudia, Formentor, and Pollensa. It’s one of the most beautiful and least busy areas of Mallorca.
For the best view of the city…
you need to go to Cape Formentor to see one of the most amazing sunsets in Spain.
One thing people get wrong…
is only going to Magaluf without visiting other, more beautiful parts of the island.

20 Best Things To Do in Majorca, Spain (2021 Update)
Majorca (also “Mallorca”) is a popular island destination off the eastern coast of Spain. One of the Balearic Islands, it’s often called the jewel of the Mediterranean for its azure seas, white-sand beaches, and charming towns. Majorca is the largest Balearic island, and its largest town of Palma de Mallorca is the archipelago’s capital.
Little is known of Majorca’s early history, although there’s evidence of habitation in the Neolithic period (6000 – 4000 BCE). Remains of some of the talaiots, or stone towers, can be seen across the island.
Later inhabitants, during the Phoenician and Roman eras, established towns and colonies on Majorca. Arab Moorish invaders from North Africa conquered the island in the early 10th century. Until the mid-13th century, when the Spanish re-conquered the Balearic Islands, Majorca was under Moorish rule.
The islands prospered under the Spanish, although Majorca suffered during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. Following the Second World War, the island grew as a tourism hot spot. Palma in particular thrived and today is the largest town on the island.

Palma has long been a port town and is popular with tourists who spend time here before heading on to Ibiza or Menorca. The original town centre is home to several small churches, the Gothic Cathedral of Majorca, the Alcazar (fortified Royal Palace), and narrow, winding streets worth exploring.
With the growth in tourism, Palma has a plethora of things to do with kids and a number of luxury hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops.

Port de Soller, a small town at the western edge of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, on the far side of the island, was up until recently a hidden gem. The town was very hard to access, but with the opening of the new tunnel in the 1990s, it has opened up tourism to the beach town.
It’s a traditional fishing village with plenty of seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and local tavernas. There is a tram line that runs to Soller, an inland heritage town.
6. Palacio Real de La Almudaina
Palacio Real de La Almudaina
The Palacio Real de La Almudaina is also known as the Alcazar, the Moorish fortified palace. It was built by the Muslim caliphates following the Arab conquest in the 11th century but was rebuilt in 1309 by James II of Majorca.
It was the royal palace of the Kingdom of Majorca until it passed to the Crown of Aragon under Peter IV in 1349. The palace, although converted to the Gothic by James II, retains Islamic elements and a very well-laid out courtyard (14th century) and garden (which was rebuilt in the 1960s).
7. Fundació Pilar I Joan Miró in Majorca
The Fundació Pilar I Joan Miró in Majorca is a museum dedicated to the work of Spanish artist Joan Miro. Miro’s wife, Pilar, and his mother were from Majorca, and the couple created the foundation in 1981.

8. Castell de Bellver
Colonnade of Bellver castle
This huge 1300s castle on the edge of Palma, Majorca is one of the highlights of the island. It was once used as a royal residence before serving as a military prison in the 18th Century.
The fortification is well kept and is now used as a history museum. The castle is interesting thanks to its circular design, one of just a handful of castles like this in Europe. This is definitely a must for all travellers to Majorca!
9. Cap de Formentor
.Cap de Formentor
The Cap de Formentor (also known as the Formentor Lighthouse) is a stunning spot on the north of the island that is famed for its wonderful views across the surrounding bays.

10. Santuari de Lluc
Santuari de Lluc
The Santuari de Lluc monastery in the north-west of the island is another work of architectural beauty and is a famous site of pilgrimage.
While the outside of the building is relatively rustic, the gold-plated alter and intricate frescoes of the interior are a sight to behold! If you’re lucky you may catch a performance by the world-renowned Santuari choir, Els Blauets. You can even stay in one of the former monks’ cells for a unique overnight experience.

11. Castle of Capdepera
Castle of Capdepera
Another site of importance on the island of Majorca is the Castle of Capdepera. This fortress has had a fairly tumultuous past with the Romans, Moors, and Christians all taking control at various points in history.
The castle also played an essential role in the surrender of Menorca, when King James I of Aragon ordered large fires to be set in the castle grounds (which could be seen on Menorca) in order to convince the Saracen Menorcans that an army had invaded and was set to encroach on Menorca too!
12. Valldemossa Charterhouse
Valldemossa Charterhouse
The Valldemossa Charterhouse (also known as The Royal Carthusian Monastery or the Royal Charterhouse of Jesus of Nazareth) is another former royal residence and monastery that is well worth a visit. Not only is the building beautiful but the surrounding vistas of the Serra de Tramuntana are epic too!
The Charterhouse has a history of art and culture, with Chopin having spent a winter creating music here and a fine art museum on-site with works by the likes of Picasso and Miro.
13. Caló des Moro
Caló des Moro
This secluded cove on the southeast of the island is surrounded by rocky verdant cliffs that protect the bay from prevailing winds. This makes the sea and shores a tranquil space to while away a few hours during your trip.
The waters here are a stunning shade of turquoise that lure in even the most reluctant swimmers for a dip. The beach itself is quite small and require a bit of clambering down rocks to reach it, but the views and crystalline waters make it worth a visit.

14. Cala Figuera
Cala Figuera
This quaint fishing village retains its small-town charm while still offering travellers a great range of restaurants and cafés from which to watch the world go by. Fishermen return regularly with the daily catch so you know you can expect the freshest seafood on every menu.
While Cala Figuera doesn’t actually have a beach of its own, the port waters may draw you in or you can head to Cala Santanyi just a short drive away.
15. Mondragó Natural Park
Mondragó Natural Park
The coastal reserve of Mondragó Natural Park offers travellers one of the best days out on the island with wetlands, beaches, trails, and cliffs to explore. Despite being a popular spot, Mondragó Natural Park is still peaceful and allows you to fully appreciate Majorca’s natural beauty.
Mondragó Natural Park is ideal for walking in spring when the temperate climate allows you to walk the trails of varying distances and degrees of difficulty. The colours here are simply stunning with the lush green trees and the natural cliffs contrasting with the splendid azure waters!
16. Platja de Muro
Muro Beach
Another spectacular beach to visit during any trip to Majorca is Platja de Muro, this time in the north of Majorca. This sandy strip stretches around 6km, with patches of popular parasols and other quieter sections so you can find a spot to suit you.
The Es Comu section is particularly striking, with rolling dunes and aromatic pine trees creating a beautiful backdrop. The majority of Platja de Muro is of Blue Flag standard so you know it will be clean and well-kept.
17. Palma Aquarium
Palma Aquarium
Palma Aquarium is the perfect place for a fun family day out away from the sun. The aquarium is filled with an array of underwater creatures, from sea horses and starfish to rays, eels, and octopuses.
There are plenty of activities for both kids and adults to enjoy such as a touch pool, shark vision boat, and extensive outdoor playground. The aquarium is open every day so you’re sure to squeeze in a visit during your holiday.
18. Western Water Park
Another fun spot in Majorca is the Western Water Park located near Magaluf. This aquatic park offers exciting rides and slides to get your heart racing as well as a relaxing lazy river that you can float along when it all gets too much.
The Beast is the highest park in the park (and 11th highest in the world!) and is a must for slide lovers! Queues can be long in high season but visits in May or September allow you to go round and round on the slides all day with very little waiting time.
19. Puig de Massanella
Puig de Massanella
While Puig de Massanella is not the highest peak on the island, it is the most accessible and arguably the most breath-taking! The mountain lies in the Serra de Tramuntana range on Majorca and is popular among hikers seeking a new route on the island.
The peak is 1,364m high so it is a fairly decent trek but the views across the island and out to sea are definitely worth it. The mountain is best hiked in spring or autumn so as to avoid the searing temperatures of summer!
20. Sa Dragonera
Sa Dragonera
The islet of Sa Dragonera is an uninhabited natural park on the coast of Majorca that travellers can enjoy by boat, kayak or on foot.
There are two arguments as to why the three small islands are called Dragonera, firstly that the spiky shape of the peaks on the islands look dragonesque, and secondly the there are numerous lagarto or lizards that roam around the islands. Whichever you prefer you’re still sure to enjoy a day trip exploring this stunning spot.
When is the Best Time to Visit Majorca
Cala Figuera, the old fishing harbor
Majorca is a fantastic year-round destination that offers something a little different in every season. Firstly, you’ll need to decide what you hope to experience during your Majorca holiday and what temperature you can handle, and then you can choose when to visit.
Majorca in Spring
Spring in Majorca is a stunning season, with a temperate climate, lush landscapes, and fewer crowds so you can enjoy the top spots in peace. This is the best time for hiking as you can witness the wildflowers covering the landscape and be able to choose longer walking trails without the worry of melting in the heat!
Majorca in Summer
Summer, of course, is the most popular time of year in Majorca and is the best for beach relaxation. Temperatures sit between the mid-twenties and early thirties, and with around 12 hours of sunshine per day you can while away hours basking on the beach.
Summer does mean that the longer treks are off-limits (unless you can really handle the heat) and the tourist attractions are busy, but if you have a family then Majorca is ideal for a summer holiday.
Majorca in Autumn
For slightly cooler temperatures (but still early-twenties), you should visit Majorca in Autumn. The crowds begin to dwindle throughout September and October but the sea remains warm and welcoming!
The Nit de l’Art event every September is a must for culture lovers, during which the museums and galleries of Palma open their doors for free.
Majorca in Winter
While Majorca isn’t a major winter sun destination in terms of balmy temperatures, is it still relatively warm and bright compared to much of Europe and North America.
Temperatures sit in the mid-teens so it is a lovely time for a city break. Wander around the towns and cities, enjoy the café culture and take in the sights and attractions in relative peace and quiet.
How to get Around Majorca
How to get Around Majorca depends on how much of the island you want to visit and how many of you are travelling together. If you’re going to be spending most of your time sitting on the same beach, you can probably just get away with just getting a bus or taxi to and from the airport.
If you want to explore further however, you might want to think about renting a car or scooter or researching the bus service around the island.
The roads in Majorca are in fairly good condition and you can easily rent a car for a few days or your whole trip from the airport or any resort town.
Scooters are also great for shorter journeys (like beach hopping) but may be a tougher to ride on the longer mountain roads.
Finally, buses and trains are great forms of public transport in Majorca as the systems serve almost all the towns and villages across the island. More information about the buses can be found here and rail schedules can be found here.

Spain Day 3: An island of Volcanic Ash?
Post published:February 18, 2019
Waking up at 5 am after getting NO sleep is pretty tough, but heading to the airport to fly to Tenerife is not. Even people from Spain were surprised we were heading to the Canary Islands. I was a little bit still myself, but again, know how necessary it is to make things happen. It may seem a bit out of the way, and it for sure was, but the unique layout of the region, the up and coming wines (in the eyes of Sommeliers and others throughout the world) and the potential for this region were so important we knew we needed to go. The grapes they focus on are mostly indigenous to the islands, producing wines that are more unique than anything I have ever seen or tasted.Check out the map below and see where it is located in regards to Spain
It is 829 miles off the coast of Spain, close to the Moroccan border. This place is OUT THERE. It was a nice little 2 and a half hour flight. Once we landed we were WOKE. For the young kids, does that work there? Woke? I mean, we were awake and excited that’s for sure. We didn’t exactly get to leave the plane and head straight to the beach though. Of course, we had work to do. We had a feeling that if things went well, then God would for sure leave us enough time to see what the Canary Islands had to offer from a beauty standpoint. We just didn’t know we would get to see it the whole time we worked as well… After a few hours in the priority pass VIP lounge (yes you read that right) we boarded the plan to head to Lanzarote. First, while we were in the lounge we did another Bible study that Blair lead, and it was as good as we have had. We hope to one day have Bible studies in public all over the world where we can invite locals to join in as well and are looking forward to the day this starts happening. Soon after, we boarded this, Como se dice – puddle jumper? (Translation: How do you say, puddle jumper?) of a plane to fly from Tenerife to Lanzarote. It’s only a 45 minute flight so it was a lot easier than driving around like we had been. Plus, we couldn’t necessarily drive from island to island. It would have been fun to take the ferry, but not efficient. We landed in the Lanzarote airport and headed on to find someone from the Bodegas Rubicon winery who was picking us up from the airport. One problem: We didn’t get this persons information before. I usually am very thorough, but in the 25 emails of correspondence from the owners daughter and me, we didn’t once remember to get our info to them for pick up. Lucky enough for us, we look like tourists and were wearing our company shirts, so Jose from the winery knew who we were pretty quickly. He didn’t speak English, so Adam translated for us and we were on our way. Noticing the amazing landscape was pretty obvious even in the “city”, but as we got further away from the edge of the island and closer to the center, the views really started happening.To understand the island you have to understand it’s history. Come back later for a post specifically over the island of Lanzarote, but for now this shall do. In the 1730’s, the main Volcano on the island erupted. It didn’t just erupt for a minute…it erupted for 6. Years. Straight! This caused most of the island to be lost, and now the land is still black volcanic ash. Yes, that is right. The pictures here really show you the color….it’s surreal.
The winery we visited, Bodegas Rubicon, survived the eruption (the winery itself) and planted the grapes it needed in the volcanic ash. A lot of the vines are 200 years old or older, some are 300 years old! This is VERY old. To put it in perspective, the entire region of Napa wasn’t really started to be planted until the 1860’s and a lot of the grapes they have now were replanted in the early 90’s or later. This place was…SPECIAL. They dig holes for the grapes, 3 meters deep or more, to get to the good soil under the ash. They plant 1 plant in each hole and then build rocks around the front to keep the wind from harming the grapes. It was windy as all get out, so this made sense. We walked through the vineyards and couldn’t believe we were there.After spending much of the time freaking out about actually being where we were, we went into the winery and toured that as well. We tasted 3 of the wines they make straight from the tank and then went to the tasting room and tried their whole lineup together with Steffi and Jose.
The whites made from Listan Blanco or Malvasia were all great. The complexity brought forth for these wines from the terroir (all things that man can’t control about the grapes… the climate, soil, all natural surroundings…a sense of place if you will) is something that cannot be duplicated. One of the reasons why most wine professionals love wine is this exact phenomenon, and I swear the island of Lanzarote is the DEFINITION of this. The rose was of course on point and the red, made from Listan Negro, was complex, earthy, ashy, mineral but still had enough fruit to keep it going. To say the least, these wines need to be drank to really understand them. They invited to their restaurant for dinner after, which of course we accepted. A meal of chickpea and rabbit stew, octopus, goat and tuna surely hit the spot and the pairings of the wines with the meal was exactly what you would expect: Perfecto!
After thanking them a thousand times over, the drove us back to the airport. We had about an hour left until our flight to Tenerife took off. I noticed a beach about two minutes away, so we go in a taxi and went down there. We got down to our boxers and swam in the ocean off the Lanzarote shore an hour before our flight left. We HAD to see it and it was totally worth taking that chance.We were able to walk in and through security and walk right on to the plane.
An amazing day was recapped in our hour long car ride from the Tenerife aiport to our hotel on the south part of the island. We sat up for a bit on the balcony and listened to the waves crash against the shore while recapping the day and taking notes. It was pitch black outside so we didn’t really know how beautiful Tenerife would be until the next morning. We did know we had a great day in Lanzarote though. Until next time Cheers Keith

EL MEDANO – where not only the wind will blow you away
Since after almost an entire week in Tenerife, I hadn’t been to the beach, I urgently needed to add some lazy hours of sweet nothing. After having explored the island’s northern hinterland, I really didn’t feel like letting the tourist ghettos on the south coast put an ugly stain on the positive’n’pure impression Tenerife had made. Fortunately, the wind blew me to a small surfer town on the east coast, and although I’m not a surfer, El Medano with its beautiful coastline, laid-back atmosphere, and great fish restaurants actually did blow my mind.
Not only windsurfers enjoy El Médano’s wild waters.

Leaving Paradise
Yes, Tenerife is definitely a microcontinent and this is clearly reflected in the different climate zones. The north is much cooler, there are more rains which makes the land rich, fertile, and beautiful. Tenerife’s north is a spectacular garden of Eden. However, as a visitor, you have to pay the price of chilly temperatures and occasional showers if not heavy rains. Also, the waters on the northern shores can get really rough so that even the natural pools where normally bathers are sheltered from the forces of the sea have to close down.
Last day in Puerto de la Cruz: No lifeguard on duty – swim at your own risk? There’s no way I’m risking my life in these waves!
I enjoyed my stay in Tenerife’s north a lot. However, now that my trip to the Canary Islands got to an end, I realized that I hadn’t spent one single day on the beach. Obviously, I still had a couple of days left, but for over the past few days, the sea had gotten really rough. Not only was it dangerous to take a dip, the waves also washed over the beaches so it wasn’t even possible to lay on a sunbed. I checked the weather online. Tenerife’s south coast looked much better. Also, my flight would be from the Reina Sofia airport.
I had to go south.
Surfin’
Since the bus driver left me at the curb of a supermarket and my hotel was on the opposite side of town, I had to drag my suitcase down the promenade alongside the beach. As I pulled the bag over the bumpy wooden planks, I got a first impression of the town.
Getting ready for the fun.
And this impression was good. Very laid back. Touristy, but a totally different clientele than at the larger resorts in Puerto de la Cruz where I just came from. Here, half of the tourists were wearing wetsuits instead of sensible capri pants. They carried surfboards or fought with tangled ropes of their kiteboards. There was a strong wind blowing and the waves were also pretty high. There was a vibe of fun and power and the freedom of an endless summer. I’m not surfing and I’m definitely not kiteboarding, but I would find my jam, I was sure.
While the sea gets really rough, El Médano’s visitors remain pretty chilled.
Compared to the tourist machineries of Los Cristianos and Las Américas on Tenerife’s south coast, El Médano is rather serene. Nevertheless, there is a great tourist infrastructure especially when it comes to water sports. But you can also go hiking, biking, or just relax on the beach.
El Médano
El Médano is Spanish for The Sand Dune – and also the name of a pleasant little town just a few kilometers east of Tenerife South Airport. Although the town is located in a small bay, it’s not really sheltered against the strong winds which makes it a popular holiday destination for windsurfers.
El Médano’s greatest joy.
At the former fishing village, water sportsmen and women find year-round pleasant temperatures and most importantly a constant breeze, hence, the perfect conditions for surfin’n’kitin and whatnot.
There are surf rentals and surf shops and surf schools. Hence, you can learn or train or fine-tune. All the accommodations have space for surfing equipment.
Yap, this sign is definitely right.
If you want to see professionals surfing, you have to come back for the World Cups. Regularly, professional surfers come to El Médano to put those tourists to shame.
Somewhere beyond the sea… This dog is relaxing next to Guillermo Batista’s wooden sculpture called Encuentros.
However, El Médano is also a good place for snorkelers and divers although you cannot explore the underwater world right from the shore, obviously. But there are diving schools that will take you to calmer spots where you can enjoy the underwater world without colliding with a surfer.
Beaches
Although the town beach is mostly frequented by surfers, there are small bays where sunbathers spread out their towels.
Cozy small bays of the town beach Playa del Médano.
On the northern tip of the town beach is even a reserved area where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas. But I won’t lie to you: While this is okay, it’s not really great. To relax on a great beach, you have to walk for a bit.
…and then comes the one big wave…
While the beaches north of the town are beautiful, they are not sheltered at all. Therefore, there is a strong wind blowing which makes them ideal for – yes, you probably guessed so: surfing. If you lay down, you’ll be sandblasted within minutes – especially since there is hardly any infrastructure. However, the northern part of town is very nice for a long walk.
What you will notice is that the beaches in the area are neither of the black color so common for Tenerife nor golden yellow. El Médano’s beaches have a peculiar silvery shimmer. But why is that? Well, the constant wind blows the sand all the way from the Sahara to Tenerife’s coast. Here, it then gradually mixes with the local fine black sand to a new shade of silver grey.
Move Every Mountain
Now, to make El Médano the perfect beach place for everyone, God built a mountain, namely the Montaña Roja with a surrounding nature reserve. West of town, the beach stretches for three kilometers towards the red cone.
Circumnavigating the Montaña Roja.
Obviously, you can climb the 171 meters to the summit for a fantastic panoramic view of the sea. However, you can also walk around it to the adjacent Playa La Tejita.
There’s still some space on Playa de la Tejita.
Now, this beach is perfect for a relaxing day of sea’n’sand. Sheltered by the elevation, there might still be a light breeze but nothing compared to the winds on the other side of the mountain. Also, the waters are much calmer in this bay and just perfect for swimming.
I think I saw my name on one of these chairs.
On the beach are sunbeds and umbrellas – however, that’s it. You have to bring everything you need, for instance, snacks and drinks, with you. Or you have to walk for another twenty minutes west to the Playa del Confital. There you’ll find a small makeshift bar called Chiringuito Pirata where they serve drinks and a small choice of local snacks.
Piscinas Naturales Los Abrigos
I’ve introduced this wonderful natural phenomenon in some of my posts on Gran Canaria where I experienced a refreshing bath in what’s called Charcones in Spanish for the first time. And luckily, also Tenerife has a number of natural pools and puddles.
While you are swimming in salt water from the sea, the lava pools are protecting you against the powerful waves of the Atlantic – like here in Puerto de las Nieves in Gran Canaria.
Thousands of years ago, volcanic lava set into a solid state and thusly, created pools. The natural pools of Los Abrigos are within walking distance from El Médano. However, you can also take bus #470 which takes you there in less than 15 minutes.
First, cross the natural reserve to the Playa La Tejita and from there, you just walk on the unmarked dirt road alongside the shore. You’ll pass Playa del Confital, Playa El Horno, and Playa Las Maretas before you finally spot the rocky surroundings of Charco de Los Abrigos.
Practical Information
How to Get There
By Plane
The fact that I was looking for a place where I could spend a couple of days on the beach was actually only one reason why I had chosen El Médano for the beach part of my trip. The other reason was its location merely five kilometers from Tenerife’s southern airport Reina Sofia, also known as Tenerife Sur.
Far more international tourists proceed through the island’s southern airport Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia which was opened only in 1978. In charter traffic, mainly Spanish, German, British, and Scandinavian destinations are served.
Leaving Tenerife.
In scheduled services, there are also quite a few low-cost airlines such as Eurowings, Iberia Express, and Ryanair serving European destinations as well as the Spanish hubs Madrid and Barcelona.
El Médano is just about five kilometers south of Tenerife Sur. Although you could go there by public bus, in relation to the short distance, it’s far too complicated. Hence, you should opt for a cab which will cost only a couple of €uros.
By Ferry
There are regular ferry services to Tenerife from the other Canaries as well as from Huelva and Cádiz on the Spanish mainland throughout the year. Whereby trips from Huelva are usually faster than those from Cádiz. Nevertheless, the trip takes between 30 and 40 hours – mind you, Spain is very far away, not only geographically speaking.
From Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s port, Olsen Express and Naviera Armas grant regular ferry services to Puerto de las Nieves in Gran Canaria, Morro Jable in Fuerteventura, and Arrecife on Lanzarote. To get to the island of La Gomera, you need to get on board in Los Cristianos.
Taking the ferry is not necessarily cheaper than going by plane. Yet, it is a more eco-friendly way of travelling. Also, it is the only option if you have to take your car across the sea.
However, my trip from Gran Canaria to Morro Jable in the south of Fuerteventura took about 2. 5 hours, and I paid over 50 €uros, which is by no means a bargain.
If you’re on a flexible schedule, you should check thoroughly the prices at different times of the day as well as between the individual companies as they can differ a lot. Also, just like the airlines, the ferry companies grant residents of the Canary Islands a considerable discount.
Land Transport
If you haven’t booked a package where the travel company arranges the shuttle from the airport or jetty to your hotel, you have different options for how to get to your final destination. The most comfortable option is taking a cab, obviously.
However, you save lots of money by taking one of the public buses.
From Tenerife Norte, bus #30 shuttles travellers to and from Santa Cruz de Tenerife as well as San Cristobal de la Laguna. #20 goes to and from Puerto de la Cruz, and #343 goes south to Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje but also connects the two airports.
If your flight is to or from Tenerife Sur, you can take bus #40 to Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, #111 or #711 to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. #343 goes north to Puerto de la Cruz as well as to Tenerife Norte.
Public bus #342 is cruising the Teide National Park.
As there are many more connections to the different towns around the island, you better check out the website of TITSA, Tenerife’s local bus company.
By the way, just like on the other islands, locals call buses la guagua.
I’m not driving, but if you want to rent a car, you can do so right at the arrival hall. There are different car rental companies to choose from.
Getting Around the Easy Way
So yes, exploring the island by public bus is highly recommended. You spare yourself the terrifying narrow roads in the mountainous hinterland. You don’t need to look for a parking spot in cities like Santa Cruz. It’s comfortable, it’s reliable, it’s cheap – what’s not to like?
Even though bus stops don’t always look like Grand Central Station, Tenerife’s system of public transportation is utterly excellent. This stop is on the western outskirts of El Médano.
To take the bus, you can always obtain a ticket from the driver. Prices depend on the distance, obviously, and you can pay cash or by a bank card that’s equipped with NFC. You save 10 percent of the single ticket price if you buy a round-trip for the same day.
TITSA, the local bus company, has a great website where you’ll find all the connections and prices, and everything you need for an easy trip. There is even a section that’s especially catering to tourists.
However, in my general post on Tenerife, I’m supplying you with some good tips on how to travel by public bus even cheaper and more smoothly.
Where to Stay
Tenerife has been a popular tourist destination for decades. Although El Médano is not as overrun by visitors as the beaches on the south coast, it still is a touristy place so you’ll find a wide choice of hotels and self-catered apartments there, too.
I stayed at the Hotel Playa Sur Tenerife* on the southern tip of town. And while it was not bad, you might find a nicer lodging option on this map*:
Booking. com
Where to Eat
Since El Médano is a small yet pretty touristy place, things are a bit different when it comes to gastronomy. Not only is there a wider choice of international cuisines due to ex-pats who opened eateries and bars in the town. Contrary to genuine Spanish eateries, you’ll be able to obtain food throughout the day and don’t need to stick to those terribly late Hispanic meal times.
While you’ll find rather mediocre snack bars alongside the main promenade Paseo Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes de Roja, things are getting much better on Paseo Amalia and Paseo Marcial Garcia east of the town center.
Pulpo a la Gallega with Papas Arrugadas at the Varadero Viejo.
Looking for a good breakfast at a reasonable price? Crepería La Bohême will certainly satisfy your cravings with their wide choice of sweet’n’savory crêpes and excellent coffee.
Salud – here’s to a great meal in a beautiful setting!
When it comes to lunch or dinner, there is an entire row of restaurants facing the Atlantic – and serving the best the sea has to offer at reasonable prices. My favorite restaurant is actually a place run by Cubans called Varadero Viejo. Their fish and seafood platters are just delicious, the views are amazing, and the service is attentive and very friendly. They are open every day from 10.30 a. m. to 10 p. m.
If you are renting an apartment and want to do your own cooking, you’ll find everything you need at the SuperDino supermarket. It might come to your surprise that this is also a great place if you are looking for unique souvenirs. Make sure to check out their spice mixtures for mojos, roasts, and salads, and take some rays of Spanish sunshine home with you.
Cash and Cards
Until now, 20 European countries replaced their former local currency with the €uro starting in 2002. Obviously, Spain is one of them. The exchange rate is 1 US$ = 0.94 EUR as of January 2023. However, you can check today’s conversion rate on this page.
Cash’n’Cards
Especially due to the Covid pandemic, even small businesses prefer that you pay by credit card, and preferably contactless.
Language
Before the Spanish conquest, each Canary Island spoke its own type of the Guanche language. Due to the systematic pushback of the local culture by the Catholic conquerors, only fragments of the language exist to this date. You mostly find those traces in the names of places.
Today, the official language is Spanish, obviously. If you want to learn some basic Spanish or just brush up on your knowledge, there are various apps and online tools. I personally like to practice with babbel. However, due to international tourism, most people working in tourism and gastronomy speak at least some rudimentary English and very often also German.
Nevertheless, here are some ground rules for Spanish pronunciation since saying for instance city names wrong can cause some problems. If people don’t understand where you want to go, they won’t be able to give you directions.
Say It Right
The good news is, that in general, you read Spanish the way it’s written. Although, the letter C is a bit tricky for foreigners. Placed before an A, O, or U, it’s hard and pronounced as K. Followed by E or I, it is pronounced like an English the. Now, if you want that th-sound in combination with A, O, or U, the letter Z comes into the picture. So you have to pronounce Canaria Kanaria, and Plaza Platha.
On the other hand, if you want C to sound hard in combination with E or I, you make it a QU – but you don’t hear the U. Fine example: Tequila, that you pronounce like Tekkila.
This applies also to the letter G. If it’s followed by A, O, U, or a consonant, it’s pronounced like the G in guitar or Gran. To make a G sound hard before an E or an I, they squeeze in a mute U – like in guilt. If G stands before an E or an I, it is rather breathed than pronounced – a bit like the H in house.
The same applies to the letter J. You always pronounce it like the H in house. Hence, Playa de la Tejida is Playa de la Tehida and by no means Teshida or Tedgida. Also, Montaña Roja is Montaña Roha, not Rosha or Rodja. Actually, for Germans, Dutch, and others: It’s Rocha, but English speakers have it difficult to pronounce this CH, hence H is the next best way to say it.
The last trap is double L which is not pronounced like an L but like a Y in yellow. So it’s not Malorca, but Mayorca. When a word is written with just one L like Tequila, it’s a simple and innocent L.
Connection and Communication
Since June 2017, no roaming charges apply within the EU with a European mobile phone contract. This applies in all 28 countries of the European Union as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. It pertains to all contracts.
When roaming is not available, you can connect to the internet at basically every museum, eatery, and, of course, hotel.
No matter which company you choose: Using a fairphone is only…fair.
If you insist on being online 24/7, you can get a SIM card. The cheapest one would be Lycamobile while Orange Tu Mundo has the widest coverage.
In Spain, they use plug types C and F. Their voltage is 230 V and the frequency 50 Hz. Whereby, as nowadays all these chargers have integrated adapters, in general, the voltage and frequency don’t really matter.
By the way, you’ll find comprehensive travel info in my post World’s Most Complete Travel Information – an indispensable globetrotter-classic.

Hotels and businesses located on El Medano beach are getting ready to put on a show on the most popular Los Cabos beach to ring in the new year. A drone light show is set to take place in the final minutes of December 31st, 2022. The show aims to become a Cabo tradition that could rival other popular traditions across the world on New Year’s Eve as a multitude of drones will light up the Cabo sky in the final minutes of 2022.
The drones are flown together to create different shapes and pictures in the night sky. This year the tradition is set to continue. The local businesses that are set to put on the show promise that there will be even more drones flying to end 2022 than there were at El Medano beach in 2021. The drones are going to be accompanied by fireworks to create what local businesses hope will be a cohesive show that will be appealing to tourists.
The Show Will Be Visible From Multiple Locations
The idea is to make the show visible from multiple locations. In adding more drones to this year’s spectacle, the hope is that people on different parts of El Medano beach will get a good view of the show. People with rooms in some of the hotels that overlook El Medano beach may very well have the best view of all, particularly if the room is located on one of the higher floors in the facility.
Top 5 Travel Insurance Plans For 2023 Starting At $10 Per Week
There are still rooms available at some of these hotels. Admittedly though, booking a last-minute Cabo trip for New Year’s may lead to tourists having to pay the most expensive fees of the year at Cabo hotels.
Restaurants on the beach are also going to be popular spots to catch a glimpse of the show. Restaurant owners are actually part of the business conglomerate that is putting on the show in the first place. Their hope is that the drone show will drive up restaurant attendance, which is actually quite high regardless during the last day of the year. It would be a good idea to make reservations in advance at El Medano beach restaurants if you want to watch the show from there.
Watching the show directly from the beach is also going to be an option. However, finding a spot on the beach to be able to watch the show may also prove difficult. People are known to reserve spots on the beach well in advance to ensure that they are able to enjoy the show from the front row.
New Year’s Eve Plans In Los Cabos – What Else Is There To Do?
The drone show at El Medano beach is virtually the most popular activity in the region for New Year’s. If you can’t find a spot on El Medano beach, and you still want to enjoy the show, you could look into renting a catamaran or a yacht to take you out into the Cabo bay so that you can enjoy the show from there. Technically the best view of the show is meant to be from the beach out towards the city, not the sea.
The whole boating experience, though, could be an intriguing one for many tourists. Multiple resorts and restaurants in the region have special New Year’s dinners set up. Guests will be able to enjoy live music and unique dining experiences. Virtually all of the popular spots that offer live music will do so Saturday, December 31st. There are live jazz, rock, and even salsa concerts that are going to be taking place at popular Cabo venues.

Of course, for many, a beach holiday is a very calm, peaceful and sometimes even lazy pastime on sun loungers under an umbrella, with an indispensable cocktail in hand and half asleep. What, however, can not be reproached for those who are very tired after a long year. But the sea and sand are not only a calm sea and a leisurely swim. These are also powerful severe waves that extreme lovers are trying to ride with the help of their “boards”. Tenerife has plenty of opportunities for windsurfing and kitesurfing, which are loved by many. One of the most famous and successful places to practice these wonderful sports, which for obvious reasons are not very common in our latitudes, is the beaches in the vicinity of the city of El Medano. nine0023
“Surfer’s Paradise” – this is exactly the kind of nickname that this beach has earned from people in the know. There are all conditions for athletes here, and, most importantly, strong trade winds, and, of course, where without the “signature” beautiful landscapes of this Spanish island.
By the way, the beaches of El Medano have one more feature – it is rich bright orange sand, which is found nowhere else on the island. Its origin can be explained by the fact that the wind for many thousands of years carried it directly from neighboring Africa. So, we can say that whoever stepped on the beaches of El Medano walked on the sands of the Sahara. nine0023
In fact, there are three different beaches in the vicinity of El Medano. This is, firstly, El Medano itself, as well as Playa de Leocadio Machada and Playa de la Tejita. The first of them is probably the calmest beach, which is suitable for beginners, as well as vacationers who are far from extreme views. There are quiet winds, inexpensive rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, free toilets and showers, and even a playground for the smallest holidaymakers.
Leocadio Machada
Leocadio Machada beach, which continues the central beach, is the most popular spot on the island for surfers and kiters. Here, less and less often you can meet calmly sunbathing. This, of course, is no coincidence: the trade winds in Machada practically do not subside, and the equipment necessary to overcome the wave can be rented at numerous rental points.

Inspector Grace besetzung
Belarus. Pavel Miskevich: “I was remembering my father and decided to continue my career…”
— And then you decided to go the other way?
– I had two more years of contract. I could stay, train, sit on the bench. Home, family, salary. But I decided otherwise. And now I understand that I made the right choice. To develop, one must go abroad at a young age.
— Next in your track record are only foreign clubs…
— My first foreign team was the Slovak Shalya. Unfortunately, there were problems with the documents, and six months later I returned to Minsk. He kept in shape with SKA, and soon an offer came from Russia. nine0005
I liked everything in Dynamo Astrakhan. Even with the director of the club there was a good relationship. Leaders are different. But I was lucky to have directors. Pavel Vladimirovich Galkin and Andrey Viktorovich Krainov in SKA, Andrey Valeryevich Demchenkov in Astrakhan – all wonderful people and true professionals.
I spent a year and a half at Dynamo, and then the Spanish period of my career began.
– Between these two events there was another year out of the game, wasn’t it?
– The 2020/21 season has really fallen out. Covid raged, it was hard for everyone, the financial situation of the clubs sank. Nobody knew what would happen tomorrow.
My Belarusian passport added to the difficulties. Employers need to complete more paperwork. All clubs undertake it, but not all bring it to the end. It is easier for them to invite a handball player from the European Union. Therefore, I waited out the troubled times at home and kept in shape in the SKA structure.
– Have you ever thought about ending your career and doing something else? nine0004
— If I were in my thirties, maybe I would think of something like that. And at the age of twenty-three I wanted to play, and then everything turned out quite successfully. When you work painstakingly, you should be lucky, you should be rewarded for diligence.
— The contract with the Spanish “Alicante” looked very promising for further development …
— After a year of inactivity, I did not expect such agility from myself. So far this is the best season of my career. The team has been good. Great coach Oscar Gutierrez. Now at the World Cup he assists Roberto Garcia Parrondo in the Egyptian national team. We still keep in touch with him to this day. nine0005
True, during the season we got a little stuck. The coach was fired, entrusting the team to the mentor of the second team. I also played a lot with him. Alicante were close to being promoted to the ASOBAL League.
Alas, in the play-offs we lost to Sinfin in a dramatic fight. They lost at home with a difference of 5, they led 6 away, but in the end they did not hold the advantage.
My new contract was being signed, but something went wrong at the last moment.
Pavel Miskevich: “The goal is to get into the national team. I hope Shevtsov and Papruga will follow my game in Spain. And I will try to give my best”
– And you ended up in the third division …
– The head coach of “Alicante” decided to bet on other goalkeepers. No offense. That’s just me told about it at the last moment. And the search for new options was narrow.
After a successful season, representatives of the ASOBAL League were interested in me. These are Sinfin, Cisne and Guadalajara. But things didn’t go beyond talk.
At the same time I was talking to the head coach of “San Jose” Inaki Malumbers. I was bribed that this is a former goalkeeper who played for famous Spanish clubs, the North Macedonian “Vardar”. I decided that it would be useful for me to work with him and accepted the invitation of a team from the third division. nine0005
— Until recently, the Belarusian goalkeeper diaspora in Spain consisted of three people. In addition to you, Alexander Markelov from Logroño and Dmitry Pototsky from Nava. Did you communicate with each other?
— Of course, we called each other. When Alicante were preparing for the play-offs with Sinfin, I wanted to get to know the future opponents better. I turned to Markelov for help, and he sent me a full breakdown of their shooting capabilities.
– The first part of the championship “San Jose” was successful. The team is confidently leading in its group and claims a ticket to the second division. Why did you decide to change in the middle of the season? nine0004
– The championship has just started and I’m in grief. Dad died in September. She and her mother are my main fans, I owe them everything. After each game, my father called me, we discussed something, shared our emotions. For me, family always comes first. I think this is typical for most people.
I returned to Minsk for a week. And when I was flying back, I decided on the plane that I had to finish skating, I couldn’t leave my mother alone. I shared my intentions with the club management. They understood me. We decided that I would finish the game until December and then I would return home. nine0005
— But in the end, instead of Minsk, you ended up in Iceland…
— In December, an agent contacted me and voiced a variant in Iceland. I replied that it was interesting, but now I have other intentions. I returned to Minsk, I thought a lot. I remembered my dad. It would probably have been unpleasant for him that I had interrupted what our family had devoted so many years to.
When one door closes, another opens. So I contacted the agent and gave the go-ahead to go. And when in early January he flew to Iceland, doubts about the correctness of the act finally disappeared. nine0005
— Did your mother approve of your choice?
– She is the most expensive, beautiful and sunny person on earth. Mom was two hands in favor. I looked into her eyes: there was not a drop of doubt. Only pride and joy for the son.
– Your new team “Vestmannaeyjar” is based on a tiny island just south of big Iceland. Were you shocked by what you saw?
— Only positive emotions. I don’t know how it turns out that I’m winding around natural beauties. From the warm Canary Islands to cold Iceland. The scenery and views here are simply incredible. nine0005
The island is really small, a city with a population of about 4 thousand. There are no high-rise buildings familiar to our eyes, only small houses. But the infrastructure is absolutely complete for both life and handball.
— Do the team players live on the island?
– There is a regular ferry service to the large island. The trip takes several tens of minutes. But I repeat: everything you need for life is here. Therefore, everyone is based in Vestmannaeyjar.
– How is your life organized?
— Everything in the club is professional down to the smallest detail. I rented a small house, two rooms. There are no questions.
— After the Canary Islands, how do you like the local weather? Don’t you die?
– I will not compare with Spain. And so – the temperature is close to Belarusian. For example, now zero degrees. Only windy and a little colder because of it.
– Is your current team professional? Or are the players still working somewhere? nine0004
— Again, everything at Vestmannaeyjar is extremely professional. This attitude is very motivating, I want to work more. All players are engaged only in handball. We have a very tight training schedule.
Now there are two classes from Monday to Friday and one more on Saturday. In the morning, this is usually a barbell, a gym or individual lessons with goalkeepers and field players. And in the evenings game training. I’m a little out of the habit of this schedule. But thanks to Minsk SKA. That harsh army school helps a lot. nine0005
— What is the handball infrastructure of Vestmannaeyjar like?
— A large sports complex is at the disposal of the team. One hall is for training, one is for games with retractable stands with a capacity for a thousand seats. When there are no games, it transforms into two training grounds. Three gyms. At the same time, there is a barbell and a neck in our locker room.
More swimming pool, sauna, outdoor thermal baths. Everything is modern and meets the highest requirements. nine0005
— Westmannaeyjar head coach Erlingur Richardsson is known for his successful work with the German Berlin, the men’s national teams of Iceland and the Netherlands. What are your first impressions of cooperation?
— He reminds me of the coach of the Belarusian national team Yury Shevtsov. Not very emotional. But from the calm, intelligible words of these mentors, it is fiery hot!
— Since you already remembered Yury Anatolyevich… A few years ago you said that you hoped to get into the national team of Belarus. Is this goal still relevant? nine0004
– I’ve been called to the training camp several times before. But it was a long time ago. Now the team has very good goalkeepers. The headquarters has a wide choice: Moroz, Soldatenko, Matskevich, Kishov, Chernikov… The youth from the championship of Belarus is progressing. In the clip will be the one who will work harder.
I’m ready to plow. And the level of the championship in which you play should also play a role. I hope they remember me, and I will still come in handy for the Belarusian national team.
– The Icelandic club has experienced Bosnian goalkeeper Petar Jokanovic and several young Icelandic goalkeepers. What role is assigned to you in the clip? nine0004
– The coaching staff wants two goalkeepers of equal value on the team. There is a game at the main – excellent. It didn’t work – the second one comes out. Plus competition. Not rivalry, not envy. We help each other, share experience. At the same time, everyone wants to prove their worth. As a result, both goalkeepers grow.
— How were you received in the team? Is there a problem with communication?
– There were many common acquaintances. Right welterweight Runar Karason played with Pavel Atman in Hannover. Dimensional linear Kari Kristjansson played for the Icelandic team, which intersected with the Belarusian one. Jokanovic played for the Romanian “Odorhei” with Maxim Baranov. By the way, my new partner helps me more than others to get comfortable in a new place. nine0005
All communication in the team is in English. Here they understand that the local language is very difficult. Therefore, absolutely everyone knows English and communicates in it. I have no problems with English, so I feel comfortable.
— Is there anyone on the streets of Vestmannaeyjar during the World Handball Championship matches?
Everyone is watching handball. TVs are on everywhere, people are watching screens everywhere… Iceland is a small country. And what successes in handball! And in football lately, too. nine0005
Human resources are low. But here they strive to develop everyone who has a desire. And many have it. They tinker with them, work reverently, even if at first it doesn’t work out. And in the end it brings results.
– The Icelandic Championship will resume at the end of January.
Guía de Isora, located in the south-west of Tenerife, is one of the island’s five largest municipalities, covering an area of 143.43 km2 and boasting more than 15 km of coastline. It is rectangular in shape, stretching from the sea up to the mountain, with its eastern border extending to the base of Pico Viejo (Teide National Park) some 2,700 metres above sea level, before it gives way to the municipality of La Orotava. To the north of Guía de Isora are the conurbations of Santiago del Teide and Adeje, while to the south there is a wide variety of natural as well as cultural features: the mountain, the lowlands, the coast, the traditional hamlets and new urban centres all combine to produce an inherent character that can be observed in every corner and in every resident of this municipality. The climate of Guía de Isora is particularly special, as it is sheltered from the trade winds and therefore enjoys beautiful clear skies throughout most of the year, as well as low levels of rainfall and mild, stable temperatures. However, altitude remains the key variable that determines the differences in temperature and humidity levels within the municipality. The coastal areas (Playa de San Juan, Alcalá and Varadero) are less than 200 metres above sea level and enjoy a dry climate, where there is little rainfall and high temperatures (the annual average is 24°C). In the lowlands (Guía de Isora, Chío, Tejina de Guía, Aripe, Chirche), situated between 600 and 800 metres above sea level, the weather conditions vary and temperatures fall to an average of 18°C. On the mountain, at around 1,000 metres above sea level, the climate changes from warm to cool, with an annual average of around 10°C.
Accommodation
Guía de Isora offers a varied range of high-quality accommodation. Tourists can choose between newly built luxury hotels or country houses that are perfectly integrated into their rural setting.
Gastronomy
Guía de Isora offers a wide range of cuisine, characterised by locally produced vegetables, meat and fish. This local provenance provides a cultural insight into the relationship between the flavourful dishes, their place of origin and the role they play in the municipality’s traditional habits of consumption. We invite you to sample our delicious, varied local dishes, where traditional cooking and creativity come together in an eclectic selection of superb restaurants. Of particular note are two of the restaurants at the Hotel Ritz-Carlton Abama, which were awarded Michelin stars (two and one, respectively) in 2015. Last but not least, our traditional desserts and pastries encompass a wide range of sweets, handmade dishes and traditional local products, an example of which are the famous Guía rosquetes (a type of doughnut), which have been made in the area since 1905.
Coast and beaches
Guía de Isora’s coastline offers a multitude of ways to enjoy a dip in the sea. Beach-lovers are spoilt for choice, with sandy beaches such as Playa de Abama and the fishing village of Playa San Juan, wild beaches, and small, enclosed coves of black lava sand such as that found in Alcalá. Also of note are the area’s rock pools, where seawater continuously flows in and out and creates a kind of natural swimming pool.
Water-based activities
Guía de Isora boasts exceptional natural richness throughout its 15 km of coastline, in the form of an extraordinary succession of both surface landscapes (cliffs, sandy beaches or callaos, rock pools and sandbanks, among other features) and underwater ones (such as rocky slopes covered in multicoloured plant life and underwater caves that are home to countless numbers of animals). It is a place where you can enjoy an immense variety of landscapes and sensations and practise all kinds of activities almost all year round, thanks to the excellent climatic conditions that prevail in Guía de Isora.

Family holidays in Spain – places and resorts in Spain for holidays with children 2019 – tripmydream
We’ll show you the best directions!
You can go on vacation to Spain with children, including small ones. The main thing, if you are going to the beach, is to clarify in advance the depth of the sea or ocean, the presence of currents. Spain has many wonderful beaches with sand and clear water, which is quite shallow. nine0011
Wherever you see the prefix “Costa”, you will find well-equipped and free beaches with good lifeguards. The best holiday with children in Spain, according to many guests, is on the Costa Dorada. These are the resorts of La Pineda, Salou, Cap Salou and others. It is here that the entrance to the sea is rather shallow, the depth begins 30-50 meters from the coast.
The beaches in Spain are urban, the hotel can fence off the territory, but everyone has access to the sea, and there are almost no deserted beaches here. Even if the hotel is sparsely populated (which is unlikely), the places on the beach will be occupied by locals who have arrived by car. Use sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 30, hats, do not be in the siesta (approximately from 12:30 to 16:00) on the street. Each hotel has its own swimming pools. nine0017
In case the children get lost, everyone should have a note in their pocket with the name of the child, your phone number, the hotel where you are staying and the reward that awaits the person who returns the child to you. Lost children are not uncommon, and in Barcelona, for example, in the crowd admiring the evening fountain show, any self-respecting child will be lost.
Holidays with children in Spain also involve a lot of entertainment. Barcelona has many theme parks for children and adults. Numerous “living statues” on the main pedestrian street of the city will appeal to both children and parents, Park Güell and Mount Montjuic will allow you to enjoy the beauties of the nature of these places. nine0011
Prices for holidays with children in Spain are not too different from holidays for two. Many hotels offer numerous discounts for families. The main thing is to follow the possibilities. Look into the sections of the site dedicated to specific resorts and find out where there are the best hotels for families with children in Spain.
The island of Tenerife is considered an ideal resort for families. Visit Loro Park, where there is a zoo, a dolphinarium, a parrot park, a large aquarium, a botanical garden and a circus. nine0011
The famous amusement park “Port Aventura” in Barcelona can be considered the hallmark of the country. This is a whole city of entertainment, where the water park “Caribe Aquatic” (Salou), the theme park “Port Aventura” is located. The recreation area is divided into five themes – Mediterranean, Wild West, Mexico, China and Polynesia. A one-day ticket to the park costs 73 EUR per adult and 60 EUR per child, to the water park – 21.50 EUR per adult and 17.50 EUR per child (prices may vary depending on the season, discounts for children from 4 to 10 years old). The ticket entitles you to unlimited access to all attractions and performances. nine0011
Park “Catalonia in miniature” is located 12 km from Barcelona, in the town of Torrelles de Llobregat (Torrelles de Llobregat). It is the largest park of its kind in the world. Here, in accordance with the original, masterpieces of Spanish (Catalan) architecture are reproduced on a scale of 1 to 25.
One of the attractions of the city of Valencia is the architectural complex “City of Arts and Sciences” built on the drained bottom of the Turia River. There are 5 independent objects here:
– Planetarium and ultra-modern cinema “Polusfera”; nine0011
– Prince Felipe Science Museum;
– L’Umbracle Park Gallery;
– The Opera House and the stage of the Reina Sofia Palace of Arts;
– L’Oceanografic Oceanographic Park in the open air. The complex is surrounded by parks, streams and pools, there are many restaurants, cafes, bars, observation decks and sports facilities. Ticket prices are flexible and change according to the schedule.
The Terra Natura theme park in the vicinity of Benidorm (province of Alicante) is considered a new generation park. Animals are in their natural habitat, without barriers, nets and bars. nine0011
Warner Bros Amusement Park (Parque Warner Madrid) is located near Madrid, in the suburb of San Martin de la Vega. The park is divided into five themed areas where you can visit Hollywood Boulevard, Cartoon Village, Old West Territory and DC Super Heroes World.
The modern paleontological park in the world “Dinopolis” is located in the center of the city of Teruel (Aragon). There is an extensive entertainment area with many themed areas, such as Jurassic Park, Dinosaur Territory, Time Machine Travel. In addition to the main park, there are four more paleontological centers nearby – Legendpark in Galva, Inhuspitak in Pecarroya de Tastavins, Regiun Ambarina in Rubeylos de Mora and Bosque Petreo in Castellot. nine0011
Mini Hollywood Amusement Park is located in Tabernas (Almeria), on the coast of the most popular beach area of the Costa del Sol.
Such a large list of entertainment is still by no means complete. Each city has its own attractions, water parks, zoos and interesting museums for visitors. So any guest will find something interesting for themselves.

Petrels, Cory’s and Little Shearwaters, and Band-rumped Storm Petrel, but
there are few landbirds except Island Canary and a race of Eurasian Bullfinch
(in the laurel forests of the mountains in east Sao Miguel). The islands
also attract North American vagrants, especially shorebirds, in mid-September.

report: Canary Islands – this detailed trip report, by Henning
Fedders & Frank Rheindt,
clearly describes (with pictures) why this is a great place to visit. As
they say: “The Canary Islands are well-known amongst ornithologists for
their handful of endemic landbirds that are more or less confined to this
archipelago, complemented by a few so-called Macaronesian endemics which
can otherwise only be found on the Azores and on Madeira to the north of
the Canaries. In addition, these islands boast scores of seabird colonies,
and they even constitute one of the main breeding grounds of one pelagic
restricted-range species that can hardly ever be seen outside the Macaronesian
region: the Madeiran Storm-Petrel, which otherwise occurs only on Madeira
and a couple of other islands in the general vicinity. Furthermore, the
Canaries attract dozens of North American stragglers every year, especially
the more humid western islands, while the dry eastern islands hold a few
North African desert specialties and can be good for western Palearctic
migration. “

Report: Canary Islands, March 26 – April 6, 1999, by Ady Gancz.
Traveling
with non-birding members of my family, this was not strictly a birding
holiday, nevertheless I did manage to see all of the endemic species and
some, but not all of the endemic subspecies. I also managed to find a few
interesting non-endemic species (e.g. Barbary Partridge). I have not seen
many seabirds with respect to what was mentioned in other reports. I suspect
this may be due to the time of the year………
Birdlife in the Canary Islands – Yacht Mollymawk
Which bird would you reckon is the most common in the Canary Islands? Go on, have a guess.
The blackbird? No; there are lots of these – they are even more common than in Britain, I would think – but they are not the most abundant bird in the archipelago. Some kind of seagull? No; there are surprisingly few seagulls here. The Canary…? No… The answer is the Cory’s shearwater (Pardela cenicienta in Spanish; Calonectris diomedia in Latin).
Despite the fact that they are so common here I would guess that many Canary Islanders never see a single “cory”, because these birds live on the ocean. They come ashore only to attend to their nests, and, even then, they only come during the deep darkness of the night.
Cory’s Shearwaters
Cory’s shearwaters are found in the Mediterranean, in parts of the South Atlantic Ocean, and throughout much of the North Atlantic, including the area west of southern Britain. They are about the size of a herring gull or a yellow-legged gull, and like other shearwaters they spend their days gliding around just above the waves, searching for small fish or squid. As we cruise around the Canaries these birds are our constant companions. We are accustomed, as we cross the ocean, to having a shearwater or two skimming around in the vicinity, but here we find that there are almost always a dozen in sight.
Funnily enough, although we always watch them closely we have never actually seen a shearwater find anything to eat. I suspect that this is because they do most of their eating at night when the squid come up to the surface. Nevertheless, the birds tend to keep on flying tirelessly all throughout the day. On first acquaintance this seems to make no sense; indeed, it seems almost impossible. How can a bird afford to spend its energy flying around if it is not constantly refuelling itself? The answer is that the shearwater does not use its own energy to fly.
Energy Saving
The shearwater’s means of travel is not at all like that of their land-lubbing brethren, nor even like that of their remote cousins, the herring gulls. Land birds (with the exception of the larger birds of prey) flap their way through the air. Even the bigger seagulls – those masters of aerobatic flight – are apt to spend a lot of energy travelling from A to B. Shearwaters, like other oceanic birds, travel by means of the wind. In effect, they sail along, tacking from A to B in a pattern of swooping, gliding zig-zags. To the casual observer their flight appears haphazard, but in reality the birds are riding the air currents which the rolling waves create. Thus their energy requirements and their food requirements are much smaller than those of a “flapping” bird of similar size.
The “cories” have increased in number since our arrival in the Canary Islands, and this is because they have returned for their annual nesting season. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they have finished their holiday season. The business of raising a new chick seems to dominate the entire existence of the mature, breeding “cory” couple; they spend three quarters of the year in preparing their nest, hatching their one egg, and feeding and fattening junior until he is fit to join them on the ocean.
Home, Tweet Home
Cory’s shearwaters make their abode in holes and clefts in the cliffs, creating huge colonies – the avian equivalent of apartment blocks. The Canary Islands, with their tall, inaccessible, pocked cliff faces, present an ideal environment for this activity, and the surrounding waters, with their abundant sealife, seem to provide plenty of wholesome food for the young. Indeed, one wonders why the birds even bother to wander off across the ocean to Cape Town or the Straits of Magellan. Perhaps, like man, they reckon a change is as good as a rest. Or perhaps (being more realistic) they want to get their offspring away from the nesting territory and take them to pastures new. The young will spend five years growing to adulthood, and perhaps it is just as well if, during this time, they feed from some other larder.
Having spent most of the day on the wing, in the evening the nesting shearwaters sit on the water in big “rafts” of several hundred birds. They are waiting for the sun to set and darkness to fall, for until the night is as black as pitch they won’t make a move towards the cliffs. Despite the fact that their nests are fantastically inaccessible, secrecy is paramount; the birds do not want to betray themselves and their offspring to any predator. However, when, finally, the time comes the birds give themselves away by making the most amazing sound.
Vivaldi is to the Blackbird as Buddy Guy is to the Cory
One struggles to find a way of describing this weird noise. It is neither a mewing nor a cawing; it isn’t a song, and it isn’t a bit like any of the varied cries of a seagull. I suppose the best way to describe it would be as a kind of buzzing tune; a repetitive little two note melody which hardly sounds like a bird noise at all; it sounds like a cross between a cat’s miaow, an insect’s buzz, and the plucking of a tightly stretched wire. If that particular melange seems somewhat discordant… well, all I can say is that pretty much everyone who hears the noise finds it fascinating. Somehow, one cannot hear the shearwaters without smiling!
When we anchor below a roost we hear this sound for hours on end as the birds fly to and fro over the boat, yet it never becomes boring or irritating, and this is because every bird has a different voice. All hum roughly the same brief stanza, over and over again, but some sing high and some sing low, and some even sing to a slightly different rhythm. After a while, one can imagine that one recognises the different individuals as they fly over.
After they have laid their single egg a pair of shearwaters takes it in turns to sit in the burrow, one incubating by day and the other taking over during the night. Hence, the coming and going (and the calling) during the hours of darkness. The eggs hatch at the end of July, we are told, and then the parents spend the night bringing in food for their youngster. When the young are fledged (October / November, according to the book) the tribe will set off for South America.
Chubby Chicks
Unlike most birds following a migratory path, the shearwaters are able to feed as they travel – indeed, they are at home wherever they go across the ocean – but it will take the young birds some time to acquire the skill of foraging, and so before they are fledged their parents devote a great deal of their own energy to providing their youngster with a fat reserve. It is primarily for this reason that they can only manage to raise one bird each year.
We adore the shearwaters – but it would seem that the ancient inhabitants of these islands had a rather different attitude towards them. Less fascinated with nature – or much more closely involved with it, and living much closer to the thin line between survival and starvation – they used to risk their necks in climbing the cliffs in order to take the shearwater’s eggs. And not only the eggs but also the nearly-fledged birds. These were greatly valued for that precious, oily fat reserve.
Nowadays the shearwaters have no predator – and hence their super abundance. There are said to be 30,000 pairs breeding in the Canary Islands. Their numbers are limited only by the availability of nest holes and by the availability of food. With man continually plundering the seas, this second factor is almost certainly the one which sets the limit on their population size. Our liking for sardines has already brought about the virtual extinction of the South African penguin, which feeds almost exclusively on that fish, and our activities in the North Sea are endangering puffins and other seabirds. Eventually, as the situation worsens, a reduction in available food is bound to bring about a reduction in the population of shearwaters, too… but for the time being they are safe.
Questions, Questions, Questions
The more I study these birds, the more I find myself wondering about their lives. I look up at the cliffs, where I know that the birds are hiding, and I can’t see their nest holes. No excrement betrays the location; so what, I wonder, do they do with that?
And then I begin to think about that odd little song. We have only once heard it while we were sailing – at our approach, a group of birds began calling as they took off from their raft. Certainly, the birds do not generally call or sing while they are flying, so why do they do it near the nest site? Is it a collision avoidance signal which helps them to locate one another in the pitch darkness? Or is it simply a means of identifying themselves to their nearest and dearest in the burrow? “Here I come. Here I come. Never fear, it’s only me.”
More than anything I want to know when do they sleep, for heaven’s sake? They spend pretty much all day on the wing, and then they seem to spend all night flying to and from the nest and feeding their chick.
Come to that, when does any seabird sleep? They don’t seem to sit on the water at night. They only sit on the water when it is too calm to fly. Can they sleep on the wing? Imagine that: imagine being able to stroll around, side-stepping the wave tops, and riding the up-draughts, without even being conscious that you are out there…..! But would newly- fledged birds really be capable of that?
Ospreys
By way of contrast, there are only 15 pairs of ospreys in the Canary Island archipelago. We have met one of this number – indeed, we have watched him hunt, and we know where he nests – but although we feel privileged to have seen this rare and beautiful bird, still he does not excite in us the same fascination as the common “cory”.
Jonathon Livingstone Shearwater
Yesterday, as we sailed along amongst the shearwaters, one of them began flying to and fro immediately ahead of the boat. Seabirds always find our boat confusing; it is an island that moves – which no real island ever does – and so they are apt to misjudge the way they pass and come closer than they might have intended. Sometimes they almost touch the rig. But this bird had not only realised this fact, he had also discovered something else: he had found an up-draught caused by the wind flowing under the foot of our headsail and then rushing up behind it. He kept swishing to and fro in U-shaped passes. He did it twenty times in succession – and just for the kick, I am sure. The rest of the flock were shearing around in the usual (semi-conscious?) way, but he was wide awake and playing; he reminded me of the dolphins who ride at our bow wave.
And then he got it wrong and nearly touched us, and I could swear that his expressionless face showed surprise!
These birds are so intelligent. And their lives are so utterly remote from ours. We see them, and we take them for granted – we tick them off in the book – but their way of life is so different that we cannot even begin to really know them.
Ornithologists have reconstructed the history of Macaronesian finches and divided them into five species
Ornithologists have found out how finches colonized the islands of the Atlantic Ocean. According to the results of genetic analysis, about eight hundred thousand years ago, finches from Europe entered the Azores, after which they began to move south, first settling Madeira, and from there, the Canary Islands. Since the representatives of different populations differ from each other in appearance and have accumulated a number of genetic differences, the authors of the study propose to divide the finches into five separate species: European, North African, Azorean, Madeiran and Canarian. The results of the study were published in an article for the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution .
Finch ( Fringilla coelebs ) is one of the most numerous passerine birds in Europe. It is found in a vast territory from North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula to Siberia and often settles next to a person, for example, in city courtyards and parks. And the song of the finch was heard many times even by those who are not fond of ornithology.
In most of their vast range, finches look about the same. However, the birds that live on the islands of the Atlantic Ocean (Canaries, Azores and Madeira; they are part of the Macaronesia region) differ markedly from their relatives in color and structural details. In particular, island finches are larger, their wings are shorter, their legs are longer, and their coloration is less reddish and more bluish-gray. In addition, their song is simpler than that of finches from continental Europe. At present, populations of finches from various islands of Macaronesia have the status of six subspecies, although some experts believe that they deserve to be separated into separate species (finches from North Africa, which also differ from European ones in color, also have the status of two subspecies).
In addition to the common finches ( Fringilla coelebs ), two distinct species of the same genus live in the Canary Islands: the blue finch ( Fringilla teydea ) and the Gran Canary finch ( Fringilla polatzeki ). These birds were not included in this study, since their ancestors inhabited the islands of the Atlantic Ocean independently of common finches and much earlier, no later than one million years ago.
To understand the relationship between finches, ornithologists need to know exactly how these birds inhabited the islands of the Atlantic Ocean. However, there is still no clarity on this issue. Initially, it was assumed that the colonization of the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands by finches proceeded independently of each other – and the source of populations from different island groups were populations from the nearest regions of Europe or North Africa. According to a more recent study based on genetic data, finches settled Macaronesia in the course of a single wave of colonization: first birds from Europe reached the Azores, then from there they got to Madeira, and from there they settled in the Canary Islands. Unfortunately, this work was based on a small sample, so its conclusions remain preliminary.
A team of ornithologists led by María Recuerda from the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid decided to clarify this issue. The researchers took blood samples from wild finches from continental Spain (subspecies coelebs ), North African Ceuta (subspecies africana ), as well as from Terceira (Azores) (subspecies moreletti ), Madeira (subspecies maderensis ) and five islands of the Canary archipelago (subspecies canariensis , palmae , ombriosa and bakeri ). A total of eighty-one individuals were included in the sample.
Analysis of neutral single nucleotide polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA showed that finches from different islands of the Atlantic Ocean are closer relatives to each other than relatives from Europe and North Africa. This supports the idea that finches settled Macaronesia in one wave of colonization.
Referring to three mitochondrial genes ( atp8 , atp6 and nad2 ), the authors found that the evolutionary lineage that includes island populations diverged from the branch that includes birds from Europe and North Africa, 0.83 million years ago. The Azores finches diverged from the rest of the island birds 0.77 million years ago, while the Madeiran and Canarian finches diverged about 0.7 million years ago (single nucleotide polymorphism dating gives similar numbers, but according to it, the separation of the Madeiran and Canarian populations occurred 0.39million years ago). Such dating confirms that birds from the European population first colonized the Azores, and then reached the Canary archipelago via Madeira.
This scenario is also supported by the gradual decline in genetic diversity in island finches: in the Azores population, its level is the same as in the European one, and an order of magnitude higher than in the Canarian and Madeiran. It is likely that the Azores were inhabited by a sufficiently large group of birds at one time, which made it possible to avoid the founder effect – and populations from other archipelagos descend from a small number of individuals (in addition, in the Azores, compared to Madeira and Canaries, the area of \u200b\u200bmoist forests is higher, where they prefer to live Macaronesian finches, which may also have contributed to the conservation of their genetic diversity).
The different archipelagos of Macaronesia are located at a considerable distance from each other, so that the finches inhabiting them were isolated from relatives from other populations. As a result, birds from the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands have accumulated significant genetic differences from each other and from mainland relatives. Moreover, finches from different islands of the Canary archipelago also formed four isolated populations that practically do not exchange genes with each other. Since different populations of island finches differ from each other mainly in coloration and to a much lesser extent in morphology, the authors believe that the main factors that contributed to the emergence of these differences were sexual selection and genetic drift, rather than adaptation to environmental conditions.
Recuerda and her co-authors believe that enough genetic and phenotypic differences have accumulated between different evolutionary lines of finches to divide a single species into five separate ones. According to this interpretation, all European finches belong to the species F. coelebs (with many subspecies), and African finches belong to the species F. spodiogenys (with three subspecies). The Azores are inhabited by the species F. moreletti , Madeira – F. maderensis and the Canary Islands – F. canariensis , consisting of four distinct subspecies. If this idea is supported by other ornithologists, it will have important implications for the conservation of island finches, which have limited ranges and low genetic diversity, so that they are especially vulnerable to environmental changes.
The Macaronesian Islands are home to a number of endemic bird species that descend from European or African ancestors. For example, the islands of Cape Verde are inhabited by the rare Razuan lark ( Alauda razae ). Until recently, its entire range was limited to the tiny island of Razu – but recently ornithologists have created a reserve population of the species on the larger island of Santa Luzia.

Island birds choose fading – The Batrachospermum Magazine
03/18/2016
Island life changes living beings. Ask the Asian pygmy elephant in Borneo or the arborescent plantain in the Canary Islands. In island isolation, not only size changes, but also color – remember the bright birds of paradise of New Guinea and Hawaiian flower girls. However, these two groups are rather an exception to the general rule for birds. French biologists undertook an extensive study of 116 species of island birds and their 116 closest mainland relatives from 13 orders and 66 families to make sure that birds on the islands for the most part lose their brightness.
The pink-capped spotted pigeon (Ptilinopus regina) is found in Australia, and its cousin the grey-green spotted dove (Ptilinopus purpuratus) is found in Tahiti. So which one is brighter? Photo: Geoff Whalan, RyanStudiesBirds.
Not that it was a big scientific revelation. Several earlier studies note the insular fading of birds, but their conclusions are based on a small number of taxa and islands studied, and the assessment of the brightness of plumage in them is subjective human, and sometimes taken from textbooks or illustrations. The French acted like an adult: the British and American museums personally came out, measuring the color of stuffed males and females with a spectrometer. They then ran the data through a bird vision simulator to see how the same plumage is seen by birds themselves, which have four types of photoreceptors, unlike trichromatic humans. The number of “color spots” was also counted – single-color plumage areas, the diversity of which is associated with the complexity of visual signaling.
This is how it turned out that, on average, island birds have a less bright plumage, with less saturated colors and fewer color spots, both males and females. Scientists emphasize that this is not true for all pairs of species, but for the majority. And there are explanations for this arrangement. First, on the islands, birds most often do not have to share space with related species, and therefore do not need to declare their identity in any special way. Secondly, genetic diversity is reduced in small island populations, and it makes no sense for males to signal any special advantages of their genes with bright plumage, and females need not be picky. The result is relatively little selection pressure… and less colorful postcards.

Fuerteventura is the most occidental island of the Canary Islands, and the closest one to the African coast. This incredible island emerged to the surface from the sea twenty million years ago, as an effect of the volcanic activity that created the Canarias islands. This island is famous for its huge beaches of white sand, its turquoise waters and a fabulous average temperature of 22º C (71,6ºF) all year long due to its tropical position. Fuerteventura is in fact a paradise for windsurfers and kytesurfers thanks to the Sirocco winds that sweep the island smoothly from the Sahara desert. This is a quiet paradise, not as frequented by tourists as other islands like Gran Canaria or Tenerife. The tropical temperature average through the whole year offers a very pleasant escape for Europeans just a couple hours by plane from most European capitals. Any time of the year is a good for a holiday in Fuerteventura. The first hotel of the island was built during 1960’s and short after the international airport opened in the capital city Puerto del Rosario. Currently there are direct flights to Fuerteventura from London, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam, Milan, Dublin and many other European cities. Thanks to its special conditions and clear waters, Fuerteventura is considered by sailors, scuba divers and fishermen as natural paradise where whales, dolphins and turtles are common sights. The most important tourist resorts in the island can be found at Corralejo in the north and Morro Jable in the South. The interior of the island is worth a visit as well, formed by large plains, lava landscapes and volcanic mountains that can be visited. A good way to visit the island is by car, you can hire cars in Fuerteventura airport, car rentals are usually cheap and petrol is also quite cheap in the islands as there are fewer taxes. The main industry of the island is tourism, although there is also some fishing, agriculture and business.

Fuerteventura Island On a Budget
Fuerteventura Island, Canary Islands, Spain
Fuerteventura is a volcanic island, and the second largest of Spain’s Canary Islands located off the northern coast of Africa. Roughly translating as “Strong Winds” or “Strong Venture,” the island is best known for activities like wind surfing and kite surfing.
Sights
Some popular sights of Fuerteventura include Corralejo and El Jable to the north, which are made up of sand dunes while the south is filled with long beaches and remote bays. The constant winds blowing onto the beaches provide the ideal destination for all kinds of surfing. Windsurfing is common around Corralejo and Playas de Sotavento, wave sailing (windsurfing on the waves) on the coast along the northern half of the island, and regular surfing on the west and north coast where there are large waves. El Cotillo is a small fishing village in the north-west of the Island with very long beach to the south of the village and a few calm beaches to the north. These northern beaches are popular with snorkelers and sunbathers.
The island also has a few museums which include The Antigua Windmill Craft Centre, The Salt Museum, and The Atalayita Archeological Interpretation Centre as well as a sculpture park in the capital, Puerto del Rosario. It is an open-air park consisting of around 100 sculptures crafted by local artists.
Isla de los Lobos, or Lobos Island, is another interesting sight-a nature reserve that has been without permanent human population since 1982. It is accessible to tourists via ferry from Corralejo Harbor, and features an old lighthouse, wildlife, walking trails, and beautiful views. The ferry ride is very short and it only takes about 2-3 hours to walk the island.
Neighborhoods
Corralejo is a beach-town on the northern tip of Fuerteventura known for its vacation resorts, beaches, and strong winds (as with the rest of the island). This town has access to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, including the award winning Sand Dunes National Park which has a long stretch of pristine white sand and turquoise waters. The town itself has four beaches, some of which have easy access to cafes and restaurants. Downtown Corralejo is host to a number of souvenir shops, as well as a small market area with grocery stores, pharmacies, and other amenities catering to visitors. The big shopping center, El Campanero, has plenty to offer as well including a Canarian market every Sunday. Puerto del Rosario is the capital of Fuerteventura, located in the eastern part of the island, while a number of smaller towns and villages make up the rest of the island.
Activities
The Canary Islands, Fuerteventura included, are sometimes considered to be the “Hawaii of the Atlantic.” The constant winds make for great surf for watersports of all kinds. Surfing of course is popular as is wind and kite surfing. Rental stands are scattered throughout the island, most of which will provide private or group lessons.
Snorkeling and scuba diving are common in the calmer waters of the area. A number of companies offer trips out to local dive sites, like the clear waters of Lobos Island mentioned above.
The spectacular scenery of beaches and volcanoes also makes a great backdrop for yoga.
Food and Dining
Like the rest of the Canary Islands, the cuisine of Fuerteventura is fairly basic due to the customs and climate conditions. With the water close at hand, fresh fish and seafood is very common along with whatever is able to be grown on land. Dishes can be prepared in a variety of ways and are usually accompanied by a hot pepper sauce called mojo made mainly of oil, garlic, vinegar, salt, red pepper, thyme, oregano, coriander, and several other spices. There are two varieties of mojo: rojo (or red, often served with meat) and verde (or green, often served with fish). Beef and pork make up some other dishes, though goat is probably the more common meat. Goat’s milk is also used to make a kind of local cheese called majorero.
Transportation
Fuerteventura Airport, also known as El Matorral Airport, is the main airport serving the island, located about 5 kilometers southwest of the capital city Puerto del Rosario. Flights are available to and from international destinations, though mainly Spain, Europe, and the neighboring islands.
Once arrived at the airport, there are bus lines from Puerto del Rosalio (via airport) to Correlejo, Caleta de Fuste, Morro del Jable, and Cotillo that are all cheap and reliable. Visitors also have the option to hire or rent cars.
There are also several ferries that run from Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Puerto del Rosario, and Lanzarote.

Even people from Spain were surprised we were heading to the Canary Islands. I was a little bit still myself, but again, know how necessary it is to make things happen.
We had a feeling that if things went well, then God would for sure leave us enough time to see what the Canary Islands had to offer from a beauty standpoint. We just didn’t know we would get to see it the whole time we worked as well…
Years. Straight! This caused most of the island to be lost, and now the land is still black volcanic ash. Yes, that is right. The pictures here really show you the color….it’s surreal.
We tasted 3 of the wines they make straight from the tank and then went to the tasting room and tried their whole lineup together with Steffi and Jose.
We had about an hour left until our flight to Tenerife took off. I noticed a beach about two minutes away, so we go in a taxi and went down there. We got down to our boxers and swam in the ocean off the Lanzarote shore an hour before our flight left. We HAD to see it and it was totally worth taking that chance.We were able to walk in and through security and walk right on to the plane.
This half-day program allows you to experience the wonder Lanzarote’s underwater volcanic landscapes.After learning basic dive theory and safety procedures from professional PADI divers in the morning, you’ll don your wetsuit and enter a shallow bay. A perfect place for you or your kids to make your first dive. Even though you won’t be going deep, you can still expect to see many species of marine life – it’s not uncommon to see rays and angel sharks in these waters.Once you’ve completed your try dive, you’ll be awarded your SSI Try Scuba Diving Card. With this card, you can make further supervised dives with an instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters. A great hands-on holiday activity. 
Tenerife’s south coast looked much better. Also, my flight would be from the Reina Sofia airport.
All the accommodations have space for surfing equipment. 
But I won’t lie to you: While this is okay, it’s not really great. To relax on a great beach, you have to walk for a bit.
West of town, the beach stretches for three kilometers towards the red cone. 
Hence, you should opt for a cab which will cost only a couple of €uros.

My favorite restaurant is actually a place run by Cubans called Varadero Viejo. Their fish and seafood platters are just delicious, the views are amazing, and the service is attentive and very friendly. They are open every day from 10.30 a. m. to 10 p. m.
Although, the letter C is a bit tricky for foreigners. Placed before an A, O, or U, it’s hard and pronounced as K. Followed by E or I, it is pronounced like an English the. Now, if you want that th-sound in combination with A, O, or U, the letter Z comes into the picture. So you have to pronounce Canaria Kanaria, and Plaza Platha.
The show aims to become a Cabo tradition that could rival other popular traditions across the world on New Year’s Eve as a multitude of drones will light up the Cabo sky in the final minutes of 2022. 
Virtually all of the popular spots that offer live music will do so Saturday, December 31st. There are live jazz, rock, and even salsa concerts that are going to be taking place at popular Cabo venues.

What, however, can not be reproached for those who are very tired after a long year. But the sea and sand are not only a calm sea and a leisurely swim. These are also powerful severe waves that extreme lovers are trying to ride with the help of their “boards”. Tenerife has plenty of opportunities for windsurfing and kitesurfing, which are loved by many. One of the most famous and successful places to practice these wonderful sports, which for obvious reasons are not very common in our latitudes, is the beaches in the vicinity of the city of El Medano. nine0023 
Its origin can be explained by the fact that the wind for many thousands of years carried it directly from neighboring Africa. So, we can say that whoever stepped on the beaches of El Medano walked on the sands of the Sahara. nine0023

In effect, they sail along, tacking from A to B in a pattern of swooping, gliding zig-zags. To the casual observer their flight appears haphazard, but in reality the birds are riding the air currents which the rolling waves create. Thus their energy requirements and their food requirements are much smaller than those of a “flapping” bird of similar size.
The Canary Islands, with their tall, inaccessible, pocked cliff faces, present an ideal environment for this activity, and the surrounding waters, with their abundant sealife, seem to provide plenty of wholesome food for the young. Indeed, one wonders why the birds even bother to wander off across the ocean to Cape Town or the Straits of Magellan. Perhaps, like man, they reckon a change is as good as a rest. Or perhaps (being more realistic) they want to get their offspring away from the nesting territory and take them to pastures new. The young will spend five years growing to adulthood, and perhaps it is just as well if, during this time, they feed from some other larder.
However, when, finally, the time comes the birds give themselves away by making the most amazing sound.
All hum roughly the same brief stanza, over and over again, but some sing high and some sing low, and some even sing to a slightly different rhythm. After a while, one can imagine that one recognises the different individuals as they fly over.
It is primarily for this reason that they can only manage to raise one bird each year.
Eventually, as the situation worsens, a reduction in available food is bound to bring about a reduction in the population of shearwaters, too… but for the time being they are safe.
Here I come. Never fear, it’s only me.”
And their lives are so utterly remote from ours. We see them, and we take them for granted – we tick them off in the book – but their way of life is so different that we cannot even begin to really know them.
Unfortunately, this work was based on a small sample, so its conclusions remain preliminary. 
It is likely that the Azores were inhabited by a sufficiently large group of birds at one time, which made it possible to avoid the founder effect – and populations from other archipelagos descend from a small number of individuals (in addition, in the Azores, compared to Madeira and Canaries, the area of \u200b\u200bmoist forests is higher, where they prefer to live Macaronesian finches, which may also have contributed to the conservation of their genetic diversity). 
Until recently, its entire range was limited to the tiny island of Razu – but recently ornithologists have created a reserve population of the species on the larger island of Santa Luzia. 
The main industry of the island is tourism, although there is also some fishing, agriculture and business.
