Dinosaurs are amazing creatures. Thanks to paleontologists, we know what they looked like, what they ate, and where they lived. nine0003
Dinosaurs, a new encyclopedia from Dorling Kindersley, takes readers into a prehistoric world that was home to mighty dinosaurs, magnificent saber-toothed cats, and fearsome marine reptiles. The book has realistic 3D illustrations – giant lizards look just like living ones on them.
Dinosaurs
Let’s get to know some of them right now.
Eoraptor
This is one of the earliest dinosaurs, a small, agile animal no larger than a fox and possibly a similar lifestyle. At that time, almost all dinosaurs resembled Eoraptor. An impressive variety of forms arose later. nine0003
Probable weight of Eoraptor is 10 kg. A one-year-old child weighs about this much, and giant dinosaurs weighed much more!
Its bones were found in 1991 in the Triassic rocks of Argentina and were quickly identified as the bones of a predator. He obviously had sharp teeth and claws. Since most of the late dinosaurs with such features were theropods, scientists decided that Eoraptor was also a theropod – the ancestor of giant predators like Tyrannosaurus rex.
But in the time of Eoraptor, dinosaurs differed little from each other, and a careful study of his teeth and bones suggests another thought. Despite its appearance, Eoraptor is now thought to have been the ancestor of colossal, long-necked, herbivorous sauropods. nine0003
Illustration here and below from the book “Dinosaurs”
Isanosaurus
One of the most famous and certainly the largest dinosaurs are colossal long-necked sauropods. Their massive body rested on four legs. Among the first was the Isanosaurus – much smaller than the giants that replaced it, but with a similar body structure.
The first sauropodomorphs, such as Eoraptor, were small, brisk animals. By the end of the Triassic, they were replaced by true sauropods such as Isanosaurus. They were quadrupedal but could still stand up on their hind legs to reach for food. nine0003
Isanosaurus almost certainly walked on four legs, but to reach the upper leaves, it stood up on its hind limbs. Its front paws were thinner than its hind legs and had more mobile fingers – they could easily grab onto branches for support. Many other sauropods that appeared later also ate this way.
Diplodocus
Despite its incredible length, the diplodocus was still not the largest sauropod. Several species were even larger. But Diplodocus skeletons are the most complete of the giant sauropod remains found. Long-necked sauropods appeared in the Jurassic and were giant herbivores that ate leaves from the tops of trees. nine0003
Hard and fibrous, like pine needles, the leaves were not easy to digest. But the gigantic bodies of sauropods contained a huge digestive system, in which foliage was processed for a long time. The system was so well-oiled that the diplodocus did not need to spend time chewing, and he could eat even more.
Despite its enormous weight, diplodocus could stand up on its hind legs and reach the highest branches.
The body was supported by four thick columnar legs, similar to elephants. nine0003
Stegosaurus
Famous for its wide bony plates on its back. He was well armed, so he was not easy prey. Like the slightly smaller Kentrosaurus, Stegosaurus sported an impressive array of plates and spines.
Most likely, the spikes served for protection, and the plates for beauty and increased the status of the animal in the fight against other stegosaurs for females and territory. With a sharp beak, he tore off the leaves of ferns and other low-growing plants, but, perhaps, he could also stand up on his hind legs to reach the branches of trees or look around. nine0003
The Stegosaurus was the size of an elephant and had a brain no larger than that of a dog. It is unlikely that he was quick-witted. He led a measured life, ate plants, so he did not need to make difficult decisions.
Giraffatitan
The name suits this giant very well, because he looked like a colossal giraffe. Thanks to its amazingly long neck, it could gnaw at the tops of trees without taking its feet off the ground. Giraffatitan belongs to sauropods, like diplodocus, but it is arranged differently. nine0003
To reach the tops of the trees, he did not need to stand on his hind legs – his front part of his body was higher than his back, so it was enough for him to stretch his neck, leaning on his elongated front legs.
Giraffatitan is one of the tallest dinosaurs of all time. It was an African relative of the American Brachiosaurus.
Unlike Brachiosaurus, Giraffatitan has a skull, so we know what its teeth were like and how it could eat. nine0003
The neck was extremely long, but rather light due to the system of air cavities in the bones. This is how all long-necked sauropods were arranged. In addition, it was easier to maintain balance.
Giraffatitan’s long neck was half its size.
This giant towered as much as 15 meters above the ground and easily plucked young tender foliage. It would take a fire escape to look him in the eye. The huge brachiosaurus-like Sauroposeidon might have been even taller, but there are too few bones left to say for sure. nine0003
Based on the book “Dinosaurs”. Article cover: illustration from the book.
in Moscow chose the largest vegetable
For the third year in a row in Moscow choose the largest pumpkin. Giant fruits are brought from different regions of the country, but so far vegetable growers near Moscow remain among the favorites. MIR 24 correspondent Maria Bezhina learned how and why half a ton of pumpkins are grown.
“I was looking for the most difficult option that can be grown, because the more difficult it is, the more interesting,” says Alexander Chusov, winner of the contest. nine0003
For Alexander, growing pumpkins is more of a hobby, sport, passion. By the way, he does not like dishes from this vegetable at all. There are four of his pumpkins in the Apothecary Garden at once, Ruben weighs 547 kilograms, and he brought the pumpkin grower second place in the competition.
“April 25, I planted a pumpkin in the ground. In order to plant a pumpkin so early in our lane, you need to build a greenhouse, bury a heating cable, because if the ground is cold, the pumpkin will not grow, and also infrared heaters from above, ”said Alexander. nine0002 A vegetable requires constant care, so Alexander spends several hours a day with pumpkins five months a year. Treat for diseases, spray with amino acids, water – 500 liters require only one fruit.
“One such pumpkin is located on 100 square meters, that is, 100 square meters are filled with its leaves. Leaves need to be formed, roots are added dropwise. The leaf is covered with earth, it gives additional roots, and this must be done constantly, because the pumpkin grows every day, you have to bury a thousand leaves every day, ”said the vegetable grower. nine0003
Alexander grew the first giant pumpkin in Russia in 2017. He described the whole process and posted it on the network. The technology was collected bit by bit on foreign forums. Now he knows absolutely everything about this vegetable.
“When pumpkins are transported, they are often injured. It happens that the pumpkin starts to rot, if this is not prevented, then the whole fruit will rot in a matter of days,” warns Alexander.
All pumpkins of the competition are of the same variety – “Atlantic Giant”, it was bred in North America. The main thing is that the size is achieved not by exposure to chemicals, but by good genetics. nine0003
“They always check for nitrates or overdose of something. As a rule, the fertilizers that are used are very balanced, so these are ordinary vegetables,” explained Artem Parshin, landscape architect of the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University Apothecary Garden.
Just like last year, Andrey Gusev won the competition.
…A STATISTICAL PREVIEW OF DENVER`S JANUARY WEATHER…
DENVER’S MONTHLY MEAN TEMPERATURE FOR JANUARY IS 30.7 DEGREES (1981-2010 AVERAGES) AND IS DENVER’S 2ND COLDEST MONTH OF THE YEAR BEHIND DECEMBER’S MONTHLY MEAN TEMPERATURE OF 30.0 (1981-2010 AVERAGES).
JANUARY’S DAILY NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES HOLD VERY CONSTANT THROUGH THE MONTH STARTING WITH A NORMAL HIGH OF 43 DEGREES AND ENDING WITH A HIGH OF 44 DEGREES. FOR LOW TEMPERATURES, THE MONTH BEGINS WITH A NORMAL LOW OF 17 DEGREES AND FINISHES WITH A LOW OF 17 DEGREES.
THE WARMEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY, SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1872, WAS 76 DEGREES ON THE 28TH DAY OF THE MONTH, 1888. JANUARY’S COLDEST TEMPERATURE EVER IN DENVER WAS -29 DEGREES ON 9TH OF 1875. THIS IS ALSO THE COLDEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED IN DENVER’S 144 YEARS OF WEATHER RECORDS.

…THE OUTLOOK FOR JANUARY 2016…
AFTER WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR FIRST 2 WEEKS OF DECEMBER 2015, THE FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES FAVORED A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF COLD AND MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS PATTERN PROVIDED DENVER AND THE FRONT RANGE WITH ITS FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOW OF THE MONTH WHILE KEEPING TEMPERATURES COLDER THAN NORMAL THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR HOLIDAY.
PEERING INTO THE FIRST 10 DAYS OF JANUARY 2016, THE SHORT TO MID-RANGE MODELS INDICATE A RATHER DISORGANIZED AND STAGNANT FLOW PATTERN OVER
COLORADO WITH A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES AND LOW MOISTURE. FOR THE FINAL TWO THIRDS OF JANUARY, A MORE PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT PATTERN IS EXPECTED WITH A SERIES OF TROUGHS OF LOW PRESSURE AND BRIEF RIDGES OF HIGH PRESSURE. THE OUTLOOK FROM THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER FOR THIS PERIOD INDICATES EQUAL CHANCES FOR NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

Jardín de Cactus is situated on the edge of the village of Guatiza while also looking beyond its limits to the many cultivated quarries and craters embodying the fertile equilibrium between nature and culture existing on the island. Surrounded by a patchwork of prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) plantations, the garden, which was inaugurated on 17th March 1990, is situated in a disused picón quarry formerly providing local farmers with volcanic ash to scatter on their fields that was later turned into a rubbish tip. Inside, a concentric system of terraces and settings nestles in the walls of the quarry, which other geographic and cultural environments, and with the American continent in particular. Taking on unexpected fantastical forms, the project continues the process of transformation of the folds and hollows of the surface of the island, using the age-old techniques: raising terraces, spreading volcanic ash on the soil, and inventing forms of windbreak. In the 20th century, César Manrique explored this seemingly sterile material and taught people to recognize its beauty, creating real projects revealing new ways of living and strategies to defend the island from overdevelopment caused by tourism. The contribution of this militant artist who fought against the exploitation of the island for tourism from the 1960s onwards by proposing an alternative model brings us face to face with a series of unresolved issues in the relationship between conservation and transformation in landscape.
Here Manrique´s aesthetic awareness emerges above all in the teamwork, collective transmission of knowledge, and the use and promotion of practices and manual skills motivated less by ideological or nostalgic yearnings for traditional landscapes than by the wish to leave a mark typical of this time, including a love of games and an amused gaze on the world. The cactus garden concentrates into its small space all the features of a history (that of Lanzarote´s landscape culture), extending an invitation to continue and renew its key aspects and characteristics. This reason, result in dedicate the 28th edition of the International Carlo Scarpa Prize for Gardens to the Jardín the Cactus on Lanzarote due to is a place embodying the values of a cultivated landscape and representing a significant moment in the history of an island that has , on numerous occasions, come back from reversals and situations of fragility, discovering the economic means and cultural instruments required to construct innovative forms of settlement, outstanding agronomic practices, and aesthetic concepts linked to far-sighted policies, and developing them starting with its own soil.
Jardín de Cactus de Lanzarote Av. Garafía, 35544 Guatiza, Las Palmas
The Jardín de Cactus, Manrique’s final work on Lanzarote
César Manrique’s final work in Lanzarote could be described as a genuine cactus museum, as it houses a huge variety of cactus family specimens. Only a creative genius such as that of the Lanzarote artist could come up with the idea of establishing a green oasis in this relatively poor environment, which until then had functioned as a rofera, a local term used to denote quarries from which aggregates were extracted.
An attraction frozen in time
The task of creating the Jardín de Cactus was an extremely difficult one—although the idea began to be discussed in the 1960s, the project was not actually completed until 1990. In fact, the 1960s marked a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ in the island’s heritage, as it was in 1966, on his return from a sojourn in New York, that Manrique decided to exploit the uniqueness of Lanzarote’s natural treasures, promoting them through art. His decision would subsequently lead to an opportunity to exploit Lanzarote’s heritage for the development of a tourist industry, and from that moment onwards, ideas began to take shape for iconic works on the island, such as the Jameos del Agua, the El Diablo restaurant, the Monumento al Campesino [Monument to the Farm Worker] and the Mirador del Río Viewing Point.
During those years, César Manrique encouraged the Cabildo de Lanzarote [Island Council] to buy the land that would one day be home to the Jardín de Cactus—located in Guatiza in the municipality of Teguise—to build a wall around it and, finally, to restore the windmill that now dominates the setting. Nevertheless, the work dragged on until enthusiasm was rekindled in the 1980s and the work completed in 1990.
The Jardín de Cactus, a complete work
Manrique’s last artistic installation on the island is now one of Lanzarote’s most popular attractions. The garden houses a collection of around 4,500 specimens of cactus, made up of a total of 450 different species grouped into 13 families. However, the collection is still increasing, as new plants are gradually added from across all the five continents. These include specimens originating from Madagascar, Peru and Tanzania, as well as cactus plants native to the Canary Islands themselves. The remarkable diversity of the collection and, of course, César Manrique’s accomplished design have resulted in the attraction becoming an Asset of Cultural Interest, in the Historic Gardens category. This means that the heritage value and the cultural and natural assets of the site are now fully protected.
As is the case with all his creations, the multifaceted Lanzarote artist undertook in the Jardín de Cactus a holistic work of art, combining very different disciplines such as landscaping, architecture, painting and sculpture, resulting in the creation of a work of unsurpassed beauty. In fact, present-day visitors to the garden find themselves in a place of remarkable beauty and tranquillity, the perfect way to enjoy the power of Nature in Lanzarote.
The outstanding visual features are the green and yellow shades of the cactus plants, and the enormous variety of their shapes and heights, from the tallest, usually swaying slightly in the wind, to the smallest, showing scarcely a few centimetres above the ground. Among them stand several powerful monoliths of volcanic ash, vestiges of the site’s original function. An important element of the scene is the blue sky, which is reflected in the water of the lagoons—home to a number of fish as well as the water lilies which adorn the surface.
The Jardín de Cactus was designed for dramatic effect, as it sets out to deliberately surprise the visitor. This is why entry to the site is via a bend around a central sculpture, placed there with the obvious intention of preventing us from glimpsing the whole scene until the last possible moment. Having negotiated this bend, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the garden, and then make their way down the steps to see the vast cactus collection.
The garden is set out like an amphitheatre, with the plants grouped on different terraces connected by small flights of steps. Similarly, there are miniature bridges that allow visitors to cross the lagoons and continue along the paved paths.
Among the most memorable highlights are an impressive 8-metre-tall cactus, the representational sculpture that functions as a fountain, and the entrance, whose doors are decorated on a cactus theme, a motif which appears throughout the entire installation. A humorous note is also struck by the cactus called “mother-in-law’s seat”.
The Jardín de Cactus’s complementary attractions
On the horizon beyond the Jardín de Cactus there looms the silhouette of a millet mill (maize is known as millet throughout the Canary Islands)—one of the last remaining buildings of this type to be conserved on the island. The windmill dates from the early years of the nineteenth century, and was used in the production of gofio [toasted maize flour], a staple ingredient in the region’s cooking. The windmill provides one of the finest panoramas to be seen from the entire site.
Within the amphitheatre, two domed structures command the attention: these house the cafeteria and the Arts, Culture and Tourism Centre shop. In the cafeteria, visitors can try some of the area’s traditional dishes, such as papas arrugadas [‘wrinkled potatoes’], Canary Island octopus or a cactus burger. Rather than dismissing the cafeteria as just an ancillary space and therefore disregarding its décor, it is also worth lingering over some of its features, which are unmistakeably linked to the plant theme. The same can be said of the garden shop where (inevitably) visitors can buy cactus plants, as well as pieces created by local craftsmen and natural cosmetic products.

How to plant a cactus garden and how to take care of it
An amazing thing – among the variety of forms of indoor plants, luxuriously flowering, fragrant, captivating with colorful leaves, there is a group of prickly “freak” plants (let cactus collectors not be offended), which has a huge number fans, almost more than other plants.
Putting together a collection: a garden in a bowl
Cacti – large and small, prickly and not so, in the form of flat cakes and ribbed balls, ideal shapes and monstrous – they invariably enjoy the love and interest of amateur and professional flower growers. In view of the compactness of many species, numerous collections of cacti are collected around the world. Given the slow growth, variety of shapes and colors, Spartan hardiness, cacti can create very beautiful displays.
In homes and offices, such a decorative form as a garden in a bowl would be appropriate. To create a mini-garden of funny thorns, it is advisable to purchase a fairly wide and low (5-6 centimeters) bowl.
You can place the plant in any bowl or even in a plastic box (the main thing is that there are holes for water flow and good drainage). But still, in a beautiful ceramic or plastic planter with a pattern for Mexican or African motifs, the plants will look festive and more respectable.
Planting cacti
So, we have an interesting bowl with holes in the bottom. How can we plant a cactus in it? On the bottom of the bowl we put a layer of drainage to choose from: clay shards, pebbles, broken bricks, expanded clay plus a few pieces or tablets of charcoal. Then we fill in the soil. The soil for cacti needs to be heterogeneous, but in the form of a mixture of leafy, soddy and coarse-grained washed sand, taken in equal parts with the addition of crushed charcoal (10th part of the entire soil).
Of course, some types of cacti have their own “soil addictions and whims”, such as the addition of a part of weathered clay or lime (old plaster), granulated superphosphate, these wishes of prickly friends should be taken into account when interested in agricultural cultivation of one kind or another. It must be remembered that the soil in the places of growth of cacti (except for forest epiphytes) is rich in minerals, coarse, porous, easily passing life-giving moisture and air to the roots. Do not allow organic residues to enter the soil. The process of decay can destroy the roots, and nitrogen will increase growth and, as a result, swelling of the trunk and cracking of the skin.
Cacti require slightly acidic soil (pH5.5 – 6.5), in alkaline (pH20) soil they get sick and die. When the soil swims, mold appears in the pots, the soil should be replaced immediately.
The best time for planting, transplanting is in March-April. Planting cacti should not be deep – the green part of the stem should rise above the soil so that the plant does not rot. When planting imported specimens, armed with a thin wooden stick, gently shake the earthen ball, freeing, if possible, the roots from the peat transport soil. We plant each cactus on a cone-shaped mound of soil, direct the roots down and to the sides, fall asleep, keeping the plant at the same level.
Good advice: if you don’t want to devote the rest of the day to getting needles out of your fingers and palms, roll a ribbon of paper into several layers and boldly use it as a grip: both hands are protected, and the thorns will not cling to the paper and are not injured. It is useful to pour sand or small gravel on the surface of the soil with a layer of one centimeter. There is a wide selection of decorative pebbles and glass pieces on sale now. This filling is decorative, and protects the stems of cacti from decay, does not allow the soil to erode during watering.
To create a mini-garden with cactus plantations, it is preferable to choose plants that retain their miniaturization for a long time, diversity in shape, the presence of thorns or pubescence, bloom well, as well as grafted forms of cacti with multi-colored parts. They behave well in bowls and troughs: Mammillaria (Mammillaria), their main difference is small papillae that completely cover the surface of the stem. Mammillaria is a beautiful flowering plant. The flowers are arranged in a wreath shape and appear continuously during the summer, the following spring, greenish oblong berries appear, which change their color to coral red. Easy to care for.
Globular cacti for a garden in a bowl
Among the globular cacti, a special group is made up of “naked” cacti, the stems of which are smooth, have almost or no thorns.
Astrophytum (Astrophytum) – with a single stem, bearing from 5 to 8 massive ribs. Highly decorative, with dark and light spots and small villi. Flowers yellow “chamomile-asterochki” appear in the summer, several or singly at the top. Astrophytums grow slowly, in five years up to 5-7 centimeters in diameter. In care, they are quite whimsical.
Parodies and Notocactus are interesting – spherical, ribbed, the ribs are divided into tubercles with protruding woolly areoles. The flowers are funnel-shaped yellow and red shades, the duration of flowering and the size of the flowers differ in different species.
Columnar cacti for a garden in a bowl
Cereus are very interesting in compositions, the stems of most of them are columnar, sometimes strongly branched. The cerius aetiops has a bluish stem, small blue stalks, white-felt areoles that change color to black with age. It grows slowly, and is worthy of decorating any collection of cacti, both beginner and venerable.
Ribbed cacti for a garden in a bowl
Gymnocalyciums (Gymnocalycium) look very curious, ribbed, the ribs are divided into tubercles, within one species they vary greatly in the shape of the stem, spines, and size. But more interesting is Mikhanovich’s hymnocalycium, a variety of Friedrich (friedrichiae). These cacti are devoid of chlorophyll, they can only grow grafted onto another slowly growing thin cactus, receiving the necessary substances from it.
There are very colorful forms of this cactus – yellow, orange, pink. In Holland, they are grafted onto green myrtillocactus. In our country, they received such a popular name as “little red riding hood” “yellow riding hood”. These cacti are not whimsical, they grow well in rooms.
We have seen only a small part of the vast world of “prickly and not quite” that is so attractive for children and adults. And we hope that the amazing inhabitants of the hot deserts of Africa and Mexico, the semi-deserts of California and Texas will make wonderful compositions, and your cactus gardens will remind us of warm summers and distant lands throughout the gloomy autumn and long winter.
Watering the cacti
Watering the cacti is perhaps the most crucial moment. In summer, during a period of increased growth, cacti in a common bowl are watered every other day, in the morning. If the day is cloudy or rainy, watering is not needed. By autumn, watering is reduced to two times a week, and with the onset of cool days – up to once a week.
In winter, a very important time, in the presence of heat and moisture, the growth of cacti continues, but since there is not enough sunlight, they stretch out, the spines become softer, therefore, in order to maintain the natural shape of cacti, an attractive appearance and annual flowering, it is necessary to artificially create peace – reduce watering to a minimum, keep cacti on a bright windowsill and maintain the desired temperature. It is very important to ensure that water does not get on the cactus trunk. Water for irrigation must be defended for at least a day, it should have a temperature of 3-4 ° C above room temperature.
Place for cacti
Keep desert cacti on very light windowsills and glazed balconies at t=8-16?C. Partial shade is desirable for forests, direct sun is only a short period of time per day.
Pests of cacti
Although many cacti have an intimidating appearance, this is not a hindrance to pests. Terrible, suddenly appearing and quickly creating entire colonies, the spider mite affects many types of cacti. When it is detected, the plant and soil surface should be treated with acaricides. The treatment is carried out at an elevated temperature, approximately 20-22? C, three times, with an interval of 6-7 days.
During the summer, cacti are damaged by a mobile insect – thrips. Control measures are the same as with a tick. Sometimes aphids attack cacti (more often during flowering). Preparations from the group of insecticides quickly and effectively cope with it. The scale insect and the mealybug are very dangerous sucking pests; Aktara is used against them. It spills the soil and sprays all parts of the plant.
One of the causes of various diseases and parasites is dry air in the apartment. You can moisten it by spraying the air around the cacti with the smallest spray several times a day. From cold water, and if you add content on a cold windowsill with drafts, the roots rot and get sick. The use of a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content causes the cacti to overgrow and also cause cactus disease.
Do-it-yourself mini garden in a pot – compositions of cacti and succulents
Friends, in this article we will talk about a garden in a pot. Sometimes it happens that a person would be happy to have indoor flowers, but by the nature of his activity he often leaves and is afraid that without him they will dry out. Often there are very busy people who, when asked why they will not grow indoor flowers, answer – and who will take care of them?
As if specifically for these people, there is a kind of indoor plants that are not very demanding for care, transplanting or watering – this is cacti and succulents . It is about such a mini garden in a pot that I want to talk about, and it doesn’t matter that it looks small enough – you can talk about it for a long time.
Potted Garden – Cactus Arrangement
Beautiful arrangements of cacti and succulents can form the basis of your mini potted garden, they will not dry out during your long absence and will delight you when you return alive and healthy.
Garden in a pot without watering
The word “succulent” means “juice” in Latin. They are called so because in their leaves and stems they accumulate moisture in the form of juice, and it is this property that allows them to survive in dry desert conditions.
DIY potted cactus garden
Some people think that growing cacti and succulents is boring, there is even an opinion that these are “ugly plants”. I would like to dispel this opinion by imagining how you can decorate your interior with them.
The sight of a lone cactus in a nondescript pot can really make anyone feel sad. But what if you try to create a composition from them?
A composition of these plants in a wide bowl or any other container, including an aquarium, can become what is called the “highlight” of the interior.
Using decorative pebbles, dusting powder, colored sand, aquarium glass decorations can beautify your live plant arrangement and fill it with color and attraction.
Mini garden in a pot – which plants to choose
Mini garden in a bowl will greatly decorate your home flower ensemble. The composition in a bowl has its own canons. So that all plants are harmoniously combined, let’s look at the main points.
Potted Garden – Foreground
First, let’s choose a tall plant that sets the tone for the whole composition. It’s the easiest to choose. Palms, ficuses, cordilinas, philodendrons and monstera can be used.
Medium shot
Now let’s choose a medium shot plant. Bright, colorful plants are suitable here. They are also called ornamental. This is both yellow scindapsus, and variegated ivy, variegated codiaum, begonia, coleus.
Creepers will also be a recommended element of the mini garden in a pot, they can be chosen from dwarf ficuses or zebras, and ivy can also be used as a creeper.
Miniature garden needs very little space! But it will fit both an impromptu pond and a mini-landscape with elves.
And now let’s pay a little attention to succulents
Miniature succulent gardens are the most common. This is understandable. After all, they require much less care compared to leafy mini gardens in bowls. Succulents in relation to watering are generally not extremely demanding, they are recommended to be watered no more than twice a month.
Tree-like succulents, such as pachyphytum and crassula , are placed either in the background or in the center of the future composition. For this, haworthia, echeveria, stonecrop, faucaria are suitable. You can also include cacti in the composition. For lovers of these prickly creatures, you can generally create mini cactus gardens in a bowl.
How to transplant a cactus or succulent?
Transplanting should be kept clean – wash pots, drains and pebbles should also be washed and scalded with boiling water. Sand preferably calcined.
It is very important to know – when transplanting, you should not accidentally cover the root neck of a succulent or cactus with soil, this can slow down its development.
Before planting, the cactus must be removed from the pot , cleaned of damaged roots and dried its root system for 3-4 days. Carefully inspect the root system for pests – in case of any suspicion, the roots should be treated with an insecticidal agent.
Preparing the substrate for cacti
The composition is as follows: requires leaf humus (about half of the total volume), the same amount of sand and a little expanded clay and charcoal (about 10%). If you decide to buy a substrate in the store, then it is still worth improving it by adding some coarse sand and charcoal.
Which pots are suitable for cacti
The most important rule is what size of roots you need. This rule applies to both the diameter of the pot and its depth.
Clay is by far the best material. It partially absorbs moisture and then gives it away gradually, just what you need for unpretentious succulents.
Plastic pots can also be used for young cacti, but they are not recommended for long-term use.
The shape of the cactus pot is desirable spherical, but classic bucket-type pots are quite acceptable. Be sure to have a hole in the bottom of the pot for drainage. Water should not stagnate at the bottom. The earth must be poured already on a layer of expanded clay in order to guarantee the separation of water from the roots. It is better for cacti to drink less than to drink too much.
Sequence of actions during planting
We put drainage on the bottom of the pot – expanded clay, coarse sand, no more than 25% of the volume of the bowl.
When planting in an aquarium or a transparent container, a decorative layer of small pebbles, colored sand, etc. can be made next.
After that, we pour dry substrate and plant plants in it (without watering), carefully distributing the root system and not covering the root collar with soil (this is important!).
At the end, you can sprinkle decorative powder and decorate the garden with large stones, shells, miniature figures.
The first 3-4 days this garden should not be watered , after this time it can be watered from the tray.
Garden in a pot of cacti and succulents
Garden in a pot – Laws of style
When creating a composition of cacti, you need to follow the laws of harmony, it is better to combine plants of different sizes and textures in one bowl . When adding pebbles, sand, shells to the composition, one must not forget that living plants should become the center of the composition. And the rest should serve as a background for them.
You can add some nice detail to the composition – ceramic figurine or wooden netsuke – it depends only on your individuality and imagination.
A beautiful idea for decorating a room with living plants is to plant a composition of succulents in a small vase. They are unpretentious, undemanding to watering, but they love direct sunlight.
Ideas for DIY potted garden compositions
To get inspired, here is a selection of photos of small compositions and entire “gardens” of cacti.
A somewhat ambiguous composition, the cactus grower turned out to be a joker!
A real work of art – a garden in a ceramic pot.
By the way, you can put bowls in the pot rack and thus decorate the room with succulents.

Beaches and Sun

Easily our customer’s favourite Canary Island, Lanzarote never disappoints. Lanzarote has year-round sunshine, guaranteed good weather, breathtaking scenery and some of the most sandy, salubrious beaches. But where should you stay during your time in Lanzarote? Here we talk through the main four areas on this beautiful island…
Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is the most popular destination in Lanzarote. It’s only a short 15min transfer from the airport so you can start your holiday as soon as you land! It’s busy, it’s filled with things to do, see and eat and, most importantly, it has a gorgeous beach. Its promenade stretches all the way from lively Puerto del Carmen to laid-back Los Pocillos and ending in the relaxing Matagorda. It’s perfect for stretching your legs in the evening and enjoying a leisurely stroll as the sun begins to set. There is an amazing range of accommodation in Puerto del Carmen from beachfront resorts to quiet apartments and 5* luxury to more budget-friendly options.
Costa Teguise
On the other side of the airport is the charming town of Costa Teguise. With an air of relaxation, Costa Teguise is slightly more upmarket than neighbouring Puerto del Carmen. Whitewashed buildings and palm trees line its beachfront, making it a postcard-pretty spot to soak up the sun. So much so that the King of Spain has a summer residence here! For families (or big kids!), you can spend a splashy day at the Costa Teguise Aquapark with plenty of slides, pools and playgrounds. Visit Cucharas beach, a soft sandy stretch where you can try some watersports. Or the horseshoe-shaped beach of Playa Jablillo with calm waters for the most relaxing beach day.
Playa Blanca
Our most southerly destination in Lanzarote is Playa Blanca. Like many of our favourite sun destinations, it had humble beginnings as a fishing village but has expanded over the years. Now, it’s a lovely port town with an impressive marina filled with expensive yachts. You can stroll from one side of Playa Blanca to the other along its promenade and enjoy the sights of the town. Or, you can explore its stunning white beaches like Papagayo beach, Playa Flamingo and Playa Dorada. Its beaches, marina and weekend markets make it a tranquil sun holiday destination.
Puerto Calero
Puerto Calero is an upmarket, luxurious port town – its harbour is even called Millionaire’s Harbour! Millionaire’s Harbour is a huge marina where you can see the luxury yachts and plan how you’d spend your fictional Lotto winnings. Behind the marina, you’ll find a wide promenade with plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. Although there’s no beach in Puerto Calero, Puerto del Carmen is only a short distance away so you can easily enjoy its long sandy stretches or stay in Puerto Calero and relax poolside. Puerto Calero is the perfect spot to depart on a catamaran tour of the coast and enjoy a day on the sea.

Things to do in Lanzarote
One of the most amazing sights to experience on a Lanzarote holiday is the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya (Timanfaya National Park) – which boasts an intriguing landscape of volcanic rock that is reminiscent of a Martian or prehistoric landscape. Just a few metres below the ground here, temperatures can reach up to 600 degrees Celsius, and there’s even a restaurant – El Diablo – that cooks its food over a hole in the ground using geothermal heat! Another volcanic feature to visit is the Cueva de los Verdes – the longest lava tube in the world – that leads visitors into a weird and wonderful underground world. For a spot of shopping, the best place to visit is the huge Sunday market in the wonderful ancient Villa de Teguise. Of course, Lanzarote has a plethora of gorgeous beaches, but for something really different, pay a visit to the Playa Quemada or “burnt beach” near Puerto Calero. It is so named because of its unique black sand. Finally, if you just want to let go and dance the night away, both Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen boast some of the very best bars and restaurants on the island.
Weather in Lanzarote
Weather in Lanzarote: The island sits on the end of the archipelago that is closest to Africa and, as a result, it is the hottest of the canaries. Very little rain falls throughout the year, but, depending on what is called the Canary Current, caused by a cooling North-easterly trade wind, Lanzarote’s temperature is rarely unbearably hot. The best time for holidays to Lanzarote is in late Spring, when temperatures are balmier.
Beach Holidays in Lanzarote
The magical island of Lanzarote is blessed with a myriad of magnificent beaches which will help to make your holiday in the sun an unforgettable experience.
From long sandy beaches offering a feast of fun for all the family to charming sandy inlets and coves which provide secluded privacy and relaxation, this sun-kissed Canarian getaway has it all.
Lanzarote is a volcanic island but is has many golden sandy beaches, rather than those only comprising black volcanic ash, as is the case in some of the other Canary Islands.
Arrecife has its own expanses of sand which are key to the success of any beach holiday in the island’s capital. El Reducto Beach is the main one and a huge range of water sports and other activites make it ideal for families. The beach is nestled in a gorgeous bay and there are plenty of restaurants and bars on the promenade for wining and dining. Other popular Arrecife beaches are El Cable and La Concha.
Playa Grande is a huge sandy beach in the heart of Puerto del Carmen, a bustling resort which is packed with shops, bars and restaurants. This vibrant town offers a wealth of entertainment day and night, with exciting beach parties, live shows and thrilling water sports among the attractions.
Stretching for a mere 100 metres, Playa Chica beach near Puerto del Carmen is a mini marvel which is admired for its beauty.
The fabulous resort of Costa Teguise has several superb beaches including Playa Cucharas which is a long and inviting sandy expanse. Other options are Los Charcos, Playa Jablillo and Playa Bastian.
Playa de Papagayo – a beautiful beach near the resort of Playa Blanca – is renowned for its powdery golden sands and clear waters which are ideal for snorkelling enthusiasts.
Surfing enthusiasts are drawn to Playa de Famara, a long and impressive beach on the north west coast of the island which is notable for its strong winds and huge waves.
Playa Flamingo is a very popular sandy beach which is sheltered by two breakwaters, making the calm waters perfect for children to swim and paddle in safely. The nearby promenade has several bars, restaurants and souvenir shops.
Events and Festivals in Lanzarote
Lanzarote has an abundance of festivals, fiestas and major events throughout the year to entertain visitors to this wonderful Canarian island.
Carnaval de Lanzarote
This takes place on many parts of the island in February and March but the main carnival action can be found in Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen. A host of decorated floats, amazing costumes, dancing and music brings everywhere alive as the crowds take to the streets.
Corpus Christi
This religious celebration is the island’s most colourful event and takes place in Mid-June. Among the attractions are the decorating of the streets of Arrecife and Haría with carpets of coloured salt.
Fiesta de San Gines
This magnificent fiesta takes place in August in honour of Arrecife’s patron saint San Gines and culminates with a massive fireworks display on the main beach promenade.
Dia de la Cruz (Day of the Cross)
This takes place in May and features colourful decorated crosses which are covered in beautiful flowers (Cruces de Mayo). A packed programme of events is held in public plazas across the island Events and include traditional dancing in authentic Canarian costumes.
Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Los Dolores
This impressive spectacle is held in honour of the island’s patron saint and attracts huge crowds in Canarian dress. A key location in this fiesta is just outside the village of Mancha Blanca where the flow from a volcanic eruption came to a halt in 1824.
What to eat in Lanzarote
There’s so much more wonderful food to sample during your holiday in Lanzarote, beyond the traditional favourites of tapas, paella and Canarian potatoes.
The islanders really love fish and you will find many dishes prepared using a range of methods including boiling, baking, grilling, salting and frying.
Puchero is a classic stew containing various cuts of meat, potatoes, carrots, opnions, lentils and chick peas.
Gambas al ajillo is found in many eating places and features large prawns cooked to perfection in olive oil, brandy chilli and garlic.
A speciality on the island is escaldon de gofio de caldo de pescado, a delicious rich fish stew which includes gofio – a Canarian flour made from roasted grains – and a hearty selection of fresh vegetables.
Popular desserts in Lanzarote include frangollo, a corn-based milk pudding flavoured with cinnamon, honey and brandy, and torrijas which are sweet maize flour fritters with honey and cinnamon.
There are many marvellous resturants in Lanzarote to keep every palate happy including Castillo De San Jose in Arracife, El Diablo inTimanfaya National Park, Lomo Alto in Puerto del Carmen and Mirador de las Salinas in Yaiza.

Lanzarote
Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination among tourists. Here you will find all the information about Lanzarote: photos, weather, places of interest and facts.
This is the easternmost among the Canary Islands and the fourth “in height” (or rather, in size) among them. A distinctive feature of Lanzarote is the abundance of volcanoes, of which there are almost three hundred. Part of the island is considered a protected area, and the local “lunar landscapes” are recognized as one of the most unusual sights in the world.
Because of the fire-breathing settlers, a third of the island is covered with ash and basalt, the fact is that 30 and 300 volcanoes at once decided somehow to erupt in chorus within six years! Almost 3 centuries have passed since then, and the consequences are right under your feet. The wildest thing is that there are plants here, they grow calmly in the middle of the “desert”.
As for the reserve, there is a restriction – you can’t walk on the frozen lava. And to admire the Martian beauty is welcome. Not a single living soul, unusual colors – if your imagination allows, you can play life on another planet. The colorful lava meadows of Lanzarote have repeatedly flashed in fantastic cinematography.
The climatic conditions of on the island are: dry, hot (but this is the coolest place in the archipelago!). Vegetation is present but sparse. You can swim all year long, if the winter temperature of +20°C does not seem like a “brr” temperature.
The cleanest water and the whitest sand in Lanzarote are sheltered in the area of Papagayo Bay (this is the south coast). The beauty of this place, without exaggeration, is pristine, and for good reason – it is difficult to get to the bay.
The southeast of Lanzarote was divided by local old-timer resorts: Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen . This coast has been chosen by the winds, which typical tourists do not like, but windsurfers are the very thing.
Playa Blanca is a young resort with beautiful beaches and excellent service. This corner of Lanzarote is ideal for holidays with our smaller tourists.
‘s mix of cuisines on the island allows everyone to find a dish to their liking. Do you like rolls, paella, chili con carne, fried bananas and Madeira? You are at the right place!
The western part of the island is occupied by Timanfaya National Park (the same volcanic reserve) with lava fields. By the way, running on them is not recommended, not only because there is nothing to tickle your bare heels, but because you can run with your heels, and return without them and without everything else. The temperature a few centimeters from the surface reaches 350 degrees Celsius! The heat emanating from the ground will be felt even in the bus.
The northeast of Lanzarote is represented by La Corona with the volcanic chimneys of Jameos del Agua and a cave of volcanic origin called Cueva de los Verdes (it is the largest of its kind in the whole world). One of the halls of this cave was equipped for a concert. Among the local attractions worth mentioning is the green El Golfo crater, located off the coast of Los Hervideros, here the lava literally merges with the sea and it is very beautiful. This is not a complete list of the island’s attractions, you definitely won’t be bored here.
In general, Lanzarote is a place where you can run on black sand, softer than silk; look into the cactus garden, stare at the vineyards in the middle of the wasteland, conquer a couple of waves and “visit” Mars. Not bad, right?

Without your own car you are very limited to the hotel complex or you can only use the shuttle to the beach, on foot it is a long way! The cleanliness in the room and in the restaurant could be improved, but overall a good price-performance ratio!

Thanks to its privileged environment, discover Tenerife flora and fauna, which has become an international reference for scuba-diving.
Our dive crew is a team of experienced and enthusiast professionals, who will share with you their passion for the seabed, in a safe and nice environment where you will feel like a deep-sea explorer.
Playa de las Vistas in Los Cristianos (diving difficulty: easy, from the beach with a maximum depth of 6-8 meters).
This is the perfect place for your first dive or night diving. With a direct access from the beach of Las Vistas in Los Cristianos, this is an easy dive that offers a great diversity of marine life.
El Caracol (diving difficulty: easy, from a boat with a maximum depth of 15-25 meters).
El Caracol offers an underwater immersion in which you will get to discover a lot of things in a short time. The wreck of a small boat would be the drop point. There is a large amount of fauna there so you will easily see an abundance of underwater life.
El Condesito (diving difficulty: medium, from a boat with a maximum depth of 15-25 meters).
Immerse yourselves and discover the 30-meter El Condesito boat that wrecked near the Southern tip of Tenerife island in 1971. The wreck, broken into several pieces, lies at a depth of more than 20 meters. The place is located at 3.7 nautical miles from Los Cristianos harbor and it has some currents that can make the immersion more difficult. You will find a large array of underwater life such as octopuses, cuttlefishes, and viejas. This is the perfect dive to discover a wreck as it is shallow and offers good visibility.
Montaña Amarilla (diving difficulty: medium, from a boat or the beach with a maximum depth of 15-20 meters).
The Yellow Mountain is a beautiful coastal hill that has been formed by volcanic yellow ash and sculpted by erosion. Its beauty continues under the surface of the surrounding sea, with a lunar volcanic underwater landscape of rocky reefs and a large ledge with arches and caves. Located in Southern Tenerife, near the marina of Las Galletas, this dive spot is accessible from the beach or the boat. In the darkness provided by the caves, you can see moray eels, catalufas, garden eels and cherubs.
Cueva de las morenas (diving difficulty: hard, from a boat with a maximum depth of 25-38 meters).
This is one of the most popular dives in the island! This dive is also known as Cueva de Juanito or Cueva de los Camarones. The drop point is a rocky platform which is about 18 meters deep. From there, a wall goes vertically down to 30 meters to end up as a sandy bottom, home to a large amount of garden eels and moray ells (black, duckbill and brown). Advanced level divers can visit the statues of the Virgin Mary and the Dolphin, respectively laid at 35 and 38 meters by the Association of Silence in memory of Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
El meridian (diving difficulty: hard, from a boat with a maximum depth of 30 meters).
This wreck, which is still in excellent condition, is located in a sandbank near Palm-Mar. The sunken boat is 42 meters long. It is a perfect dive spot for underwater photographers, with its backlit environment; you can also get easily inside all the cabins and interior areas of the boat.

Below is a description of each of the dive sites, including minimum certification level for each.
Star Fish Bay Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore dive: Boat. Star Fish Bay is only a few minutes away from the marina where our dive RIB is located. The dive site gets its name form the mass of different types and colours of Star Fish that can be found here. There is also a mass of rock formations that hide a wealth of aquatic life at this site and we can also find Bogue’s, Blue-fin Damsel’s, Atlantic Damsel’s, Bastard Grunt’s, Streaked Gunard’s amongst others. A great easy dive with plenty to see.
El Delfin Suitable for: Advanced Diver. Boat or Shore dive: Boat. El Delfin is a huge rock formation with loads of holes and crevices that are perfect hiding places for Octopus and Morays. It has depths from 16 to 40 meters, so depending on your level of comfort, we can stay on top of the rocks or descent down to the sides of it. Near the deeper side of the rock, we find a statue of a dolphin. El Delfin is an amazing dive site where all the aquatic life seems to be much bigger than usual. We come across Canarian Lobsters, Rays, Moray Eels, Octopus, Barracuda’s, Anenome and much more. We have even seen Dolphins on this dive site.
Montana Amarilla Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Can be made by Boat or Shore, but easier as a boat dive. Montaña Amarilla, also know as Yellow Mountain, in Tenerife, is so called because of the golden coloured stone mountain, located next to the dive site. This dive is best as a boat dive to avoid a long precarious walk with kit. Underwater there are fantastic rock formations one of which forms a horizontal swim through which leads out to the seabed where you can see a huge variety of sea life. Such Rays, Roncadores, Octopus, Moray Eel’s and Angel Sharks( At the right time of year). This dive is one of the most scenic dive sites in Tenerife and a very rewarding dive and was the first classified marine reserve in Tenerife.
Yellow Mountain Point Suitable for: Open Water Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. A continuation of the infamous Yellow Mountain dive, but this time we go further out to even more stunning rock formations. As we cross over rock formations interspersed with sandy stretches , the aquatic life changes to large Atlantic Bonito, Barracuda and an abundance of Roncadores. A dramatic wall is where we can find Octopus and Moray Eel’s as well as Blacktail Comber and Cardinal fish. A dive for the slightly more adventurous diver.
Nelsons Point Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Another short journey from the marina finds us at Nelsons Point. Once again we are spoilt by rock formations that have formed over thousands of years. In the formations small holes can be viewed from both sides “framing” the aquatic life as it goes by. A dream for the patient underwater photographer. Aquatic life found here includes trumpet fish, Blacktail Comber, 2 Banded Bream , Zebra Bream, Atlantic Damsel’s, Lizard fish, and Cardinal fish. Another easy boat dive.
Crocodile Rock Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Crocodile Rock has quickly become a firm favourite with the team at Dive and Sea Tenerife. At its deepest edge it is only 16m and the shallowest part of the top of the “reef” is just 5m. Anemones, Wrasse and Damsel’s all jostle for space, whilst in its crevices can be found Black and Brown Moray Eel’s and on occasions Fangtooth Moray’s. Cuttle fish, Common Ray’s and Eagle Rays have also been spotted searching for food in the immediate area. A very easy dive that is a must for all divers visiting Tenerife.
Alien Rock Suitable for: Open Water Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Alien Rock is an old favourite in Tenerife. It can be found in the same bay as Yellow Mountain but offers a totally different dive. With its huge rocks that almost touch at their points you are spoilt for fish species to look at. The Red Back Cleaner Shrimp can always be found ready to help the fish with a “wash and brush up” and Barracuda are everywhere. Look a little closer and you will see some of the largest Anemones in Tenerife as well as the resident Brown Moray Eel (Big Ben), who will always pop his head out to see who’s coming and he just keeps getting bigger and bigger! The whole area is surrounded by a large field of Garden Eel’s and the odd Eagle Ray, Common Ray and Sting Ray cruise by on a regular basis. A truly fantastic dive for all.
Los Archos Suitable for: Open Water diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. At the Los Archos dive site in Tenerife, there are 3 amazing natural coral arches. There are some fantastic photographic opportunities at this site. An abundance of Tenerife’s sea life can be seen amongst which you can see Damsel fish, Amberjack Eels, Moray Eels and perhaps even a Canarian Lobster or 2.
Estorne Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. The Estorne dive site is suitable for all levels of divers from open water onwards. The wreck of the small yacht sits on the edge of the reef just outside of the Las Galletas harbour. The sunken yacht lies upright at 18M. There is a great deal of life to see, Stingrays, Bream, Roncadores and many Moray Eel’s hide in the tiny vessel it’s self.
Los Chuchos Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Los Chuchos dive site in Tenerife so called due to the Spanish name for Stingrays is one of the more popular dive sites. This is a boat dive, and by the time you have reached the bottom Stingrays are starting to appear there are several species of Ray to be seen including the enormous Atlantic Rays. Other life can also be seen such as Octopus and Barracuda. A fantastic opportunity to see Stings rays up close.
Punta Rasca Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. This is a must for all Advanced open water divers, cascading rock formations, “swim through’s”, small caves, black coral and loads of aquatic life to watch. Leaving the dive boat into 10m of water then working our way down to around 24m- 30m we find the whitest sand in Tenerife and aquatic life that has not seen a diver before. This is one of the exclusive dive sites for us and therefore is totally unspoilt.
El Condesito Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. El Condesito dive site in Tenerife is a wreck dive and is only accessible from a boat. The wreck was a large boat which crashed in 1972. The wreck lies between 10 and 15 meters which allows plenty of time to explore the wreck. The wreck is home to a vast array of different sea life such as Trumpet fish, Octopus and Starfish. Whilst the wreck is slowly decaying it’s hull and deck can still be made out.
El Meridian Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. The Meridian in is a wreck dive, accessible only by boat. The Meridian was deliberately sunk in 2005 as an artificial reef, and is now near Palm Mar. The Meridian lies at 30M and provides some excellent opportunities to explore the still intact wreck. The nearby reef is full of life and during the winter months you can see Angel Sharks.
Palm Mar Cave / Cueva de Palm Mar Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Palm Mar Cave, Tenerife is an advanced dive, as the entrance to the cave is at 30 m. Before you reach the cave you can see large rock formations sloping away into the distance, you have the opportunity to see lots of sea life including , Moray Eels and Leopard spotted Morays, you can also see Sea Bream, Zebra fish and Wrasse. The cave itself is still a mystery as no one has yet explored the cave in its entirety.
Palm Mar Wall Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Palm Mar Wall is another great boat dive, in Tenerife. Located near to the local fish farms is a great dive to see Roncadores and Bream. It is also possible to occasionally see Dolphins. A great place to use as a drift dive.
Palm Mar Roncadores Suitable for: Open Water Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Another popular dive site in Tenerife is Roncadores Palm Mar, time after time as there is a vast array of sea life. This is a boat dive and you enter in approximately 8m of water. There is a horseshoe shaped reef to explore and rock formations. There is a large shoal of Roncadores and circling above the Barracuda awaiting their prey. There is a good chance that you will see Sting Rays and during the winter months Angel Shark can be found. Also Dolphins frequent the site, so it is not unusual to get dazzling displays from these beautiful creatures from the boat.
El Puertito Suitable for: All levels of Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. El Puertito has to be amongst everyone’s favourite dive site in Tenerife. A very easy entrance and a short swim takes you into just 8-10m of water as you then glide along its not long before your met by one of the family of Turtles that live in this bay. Whilst most of the site is quite baron there are small pockets of rock formations where you can find Atlantic Damsel’s, Blue-fin Damsel’s, Cuttle fish and the occasional Octopus or Angel Shark. However the stars of the show has to be the Turtles who happily interact with our divers. This dive site has to be on your list when coming to Tenerife.
Playa Parasio Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. A well known dive site with lots of aquatic life to see, however the entrance and exit to the dive is hard. From where we park to the beach is a long walk down steps. Once at the beach it is just a short swim to drop down into around 6-8m, there we are greeted by 1-Banded Bream, White Bream and an array of Anemones and Star fish. After a short while we find huge rock formations and a number of different Rays, including Eagle Ray, Common Ray and the huge Atlantic Sting Ray’s. A good dive, but spoilt by the entry / exit, however when combined with other dives we can make a day trip on the boat which makes each much better.
Marazul Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. A dive site offering some stunning rock formations and loads of life. Many Octopus are to be found here along with Cuttle fish and many other species including, Atlantic Damsel’s, Blue-fin Damsel’s, Bream’s and Trumpet fish. Also on our dives here we have found the rare Unicorn File fish and a number of Angel Sharks.
Alcala Suitable for: All levels of Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. A very easy shore dive. We get into the water by a giant stride and have a short surface swim and then descend down into 4-6m of water. here we have a choice of routes that include sandy bottoms with lots of Lizard fish, Wide Eyed Flounders and Common Rays and the occasional visit from the resident Turtles or Small rocky areas that hide the smaller fish like Cardinal fish, Damsel’s and Roncadores. A lovely dive site that is worth a visit whilst in Tenerife.

Los Champinones Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. The Champinones (Mushrooms) dive site Tenerife is a boat dive, and as the name suggests on the bottom of the sea bed there is a large rock which looks like a mushroom. The sea life at this dive site is amazing amongst others things you can see Trumpet fishes, Octopus, Moray Eels and occasionally Angel Sharks.
Neptune’s Cave Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Neptune’s Cave dive site Tenerife is a boat dive down to a cave. The cave is safe to enter and you can see an abundance of Tenerife’s sea life inside as well as some great rock formations.

The cave is full of soft coral and shrimps make sure you have a torch to get a better look. Angel shark and large Groupers have been seen at the entrance to the cave. Great photographic opportunities.
Poco Naufragio Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Another of our undisturbed sites. The only people we share this with is the local submarine !! Here we drop into approximately 16 meters and with a short swim drop down to 30 meters and the home of the local family of Stingrays. A group of 5 Rays live in the area and can be hand fed, This is a truly humbling experience when these huge animals glide across you and gently take food from your hand. You will also be overwhelmed by Weavers, Sardines, and Roncadores. All of this is centred around a small wooden wreck .
Pequeno Valle Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. This has to be the newest dive site in Tenerife. It is virtually undisturbed and always brings surprises the more we explode the area. After dropping in off our boat we descend to approximately 16 metres and then swim along to a small wall and this is where the Moray Eel’s can be found. Unlike most dive sites in Tenerife the aquatic life here is not tamed to divers so treat us with suspicion! Huge schools of Sardines and Roncadores nestle in between the two rock formations and we have regularly seen huge Rough tail Stingrays. A great adventure dive down to around 22 metres.
Bahia Nautica Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. Another exclusive dive site for us at Dive and Sea Tenerife. This one is very shallow and offers great rock formations with local aquatic life everywhere. With depths at a maximum of 12m this one is ideal for divers having completed the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, as well as the more experienced diver. Octopus, Cuttle fish, Zebra Bream and Garden Eel’s can be found within just a short distance of the boat.
Morena Cueva Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat. A fantastic dive site that offers a look into the world of the Moray Eel.

A wide variety are present from Large Brown Moray’s, medium sized sleek Black Moray’s and the ever watchful and intimidating looking Fangtooth Moray Eel. Easy dive from our dive RIB with lots to see other than Moray’s including Atlantic Damsel’s, Blue-fin Damsel’s, Bream’s and the occasional Octopus.
Cala Pedregoso Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. This is one of our newest dive site additions. It really has to be the easiest shore dive ever! After kiting up it is just a 10m walk into the ocean and then put on your fins and a 5m swim see’s us descend into 6m of water. Her we cruise along small rock formations on one side and sandy bottom on the other. In the sand can be found Cuttle fish, Common Ray’s, Star fish and Lizard Fish. In the rocks Damsel fish dart around with Wrasse, File fish, Blacktail Combers and Fireworms. Everywhere are a huge variety of Urchins, not the bad kind but the most stunning colours and shapes that are rarely seen on dive sites! When talking to some “locals” they said no-one had ever dived around there before so we truly are lucky to find an untouched site and will be keeping it that way.
Moon Pools Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. The Moon Pools can be reached by shore and starting by a giant stride, however when using the RIB a simple back roll and a few minutes swim, saves you struggling down a precarious path. Once into the “Moon Pool” aquatic life consists of Scorpion fish, Huge Arrowcrabs, Moray Eel’s and Lizard fish. The truly stunning part of the dive is when the sun streams down into the pools giving some of the best photographic opportunities in Tenerife. A absolute must when diving in Tenerife.
Black Cove Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. Black Cove used to be a hot favourite amongst divers several years ago but quickly became “over-dived”. Now the site is returning to a quality site again. Octopus have returned along with Cuttlefish, Lizardfish, and a variety of Anemones and soft coral. Sometimes it is possible to come across a Sting Ray or two as well as Sardines and Roncadores.
Playa Negra Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore. A sandy beach takes us straight into the dive site, so although this can be done with a dive RIB, there is no need. Huge rocks are placed amongst the expansive sandy bottom offering plenty of opportunity to discover the local aquatic life. As another exclusive dive site to us, the area is totally untouched and so much plant life can be found giving the whole area a red tinge as the sun shines down into just 6m of water. A really relaxing dive that now is a must for all of friends.
Abades Mountain Suitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. Abades Mountain shore dive site in Tenerife is an easy dive dependent on current. This dive site is in the same area as “Playa Abades”. You can see Trumpet fish and Stingray as well as sponges and Sea Urchins which cover the rock formations. The site has just become the latest Marine reserve in Tenerife and is well worth of the award. There are also small caves to explore below 5 meters.
Playa Abades Suitable for: All level’s of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. Playa Abades or Abades Beach is a shore dive. To the entry point is around a 500m walk, so you may need assistance to gain entry due to the distance over sand. One in the water the walk is really worthwhile. The rock formations are stunning and the site never fails to disappoint with its abundance of aquatic life. For novice divers the site is great as a first experience underwater, there is a large amount of life to see, including Barracuda, Moray Eels, Cuttlefish, Trigger fish and Octopus. A really great dive for all experience levels in Tenerife.
Las Eras Suitable for: Open Water Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. A fantastic shore dive at Las Eras we head off to the left hand side of the bay, and enter from the beach swimming out along the wall before descending into approximately 9 meters of water. This dive site is suitable for all levels of diver as there are three levels the most shallow being only 6 meters, going down levels to approximately 25 meters. There is an abundance of life to see no matter what shelf you are exploring, On every level you see Trumpet Fish, Arrow Crabs, Dentrix, Damsels and Wrasse. On the deeper levels you are likely to come across Stingray, Octopus, as well as the Religious Nativity Scene which always comes as a surprise.
Las Eras ~ The Pipeline Suitable for: Open Water Diver and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. This Shore dive site is a recent discovery and a very interesting dive. You enter from the shore and then swim out to the right hand side of the bay, before descending into 6 metres of water. Close to this point is a pipe that tracks from shore out into deep waters, which is encased in pre-cast concrete blocks. As with everything that has been in the ocean for some time, the blocks have become homes for plenty of aquatic life, with the gaps in the blocks providing excellent hiding places for species such as Scorpion Fish, Octopus, Rays and Canarian Lobsters. Following along the pipe into 14 metres of water gives you ample opportunity to peek into the gaps in and around the blocks, finding beautiful underwater beings such as Nudibranch, Starfish and Sea Hares. With a clear path along the pipe and shallower depths, this site is perfect for divers of all experience levels. Underwater photographers will have great colourful opportunities and all divers who appreciate great dive sites are sure to enjoy it.
Punta Prieta Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. Punta Prieta is an advanced dive. There is an abundance of life available to see Moray Eel, Stingray, Seahorses, Trigger fish and Sea Urchins. From 30 meters there is coral, and small caves to explore.
Tabaiba Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. Tabaiba wreck dive on the northeast coast of Tenerife was the former tugboat, El Ratón, It’s a stunning wreck which is still intact and you can enter the engine room and bridge, with the appropriate training . The wreck is a 100m swim from entry, but there is plenty of interesting life to see en route. Although this is a recently sunk boat it has started to attract a large amount of life such as Barracuda, Garden Eels and Stingray. Fantastic wreck speciality opportunity as well as having the chance to ride a bike underwater! The bicycle can be found anywhere from 18m-30m and divers always love to have a go!
Radazul Suitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore. Another shore dive located in the north of Tenerife offers some great opportunities for something different. With its recently refurbished beach and entry points we glide by the marina wall and have a number of options. First we can go to see the monument or we can go to a small rock formation that few know about that hides its own family of Sea Horses. there are also small caves to view before returning to the surface and a simple walk out up the new steps.
Garachico Suitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore or Boat. This dive site is located over the other side of the island of Tenerife, so becomes a full day out. We combine this dive with a couple of others as it takes some 1 1/2 hours to drive there. Once there the entry point is very easy and after a short swim we come across a large wall teaming with life and then on to a massive stunning arch. In amongst the crevices are Anemones, Octopus and Cuttle fish. This dive is well worth a day out.

All about diving
Comments
Diving is a sport that requires certain training and knowledge. There are courses and specializations at various levels that help divers learn the various skills required for scuba diving: how to be safe while diving, how to properly store and maintain equipment, and how to respond to various underwater problems. Below is a list of the most important rules that beginners should master in the first place. nine0020
1. The most important rule of diving: never hold your breath. Breathe underwater continuously, evenly and deeply. It is necessary to get used to breathing through the mouth, as the air enters through the regulator. Calm breathing ensures calm thinking, so it is important to breathe regularly. In addition, uninterrupted breathing avoids many lung injuries. When we exhale, we release expanding air and lower the internal pressure in the lungs. This is how we blow out our lungs. It must be remembered that even in a situation (which happens very rarely to divers) when you lose the regulator from your mouth, you need to constantly release air from your mouth. During the courses, many exercises are organized so that students practice proper breathing underwater. nine0020
2. Always ventilate while diving. At the surface, atmospheric pressure has no effect on our body, as this is our natural environment. When we dive into water, we are subjected to pressure. The lower we go, the higher the pressure we feel in the air cavities of our body, namely the ears, sinuses and lungs. As we have said, the pressure in the lungs is compensated during breathing. And we must blow our ears and sinuses on our own. To do this, you can use the valsalva maneuver: you need to close your nose and exhale through it. We do it gently, not too hard. We repeat several times during the dive, in advance, without waiting for discomfort in the ears. During the ascent, the pressure in the ears and sinuses equalizes on its own, so there is no need to blow out when you go up. nine0020
3. Another important rule of diving is not to ascend too fast, no matter how deep. With a slow ascent, the partial pressure of our body gases has enough time to compare with the surrounding pressure. In addition, the expanding air in the lungs and ears has time to escape. This helps to avoid decompression sickness. We must not climb faster than 18 meters per minute, or whatever the computer gives us. During deep dives, it is recommended to make a safety stop of 3 minutes at 5 meters of depth. nine0020
4. And finally, the last rule: always dive with a buddy. It is much better and safer to prepare a dive plan, check and prepare equipment in a group with other divers than alone. Under water, there can be various minor difficulties that a partner can easily solve, but which would become a serious problem if you dive alone. The Naprannik can also call for additional help and call an ambulance if necessary. And besides, diving in the company of other divers is much more fun, as you can get unforgettable emotions together and then share your impressions. You will find many friends who will share your passion for the sea. nine0020
Follow these 4 essential rules of diving and enjoy this wonderful sport in complete safety!

Last Updated on 2nd October 2021 by Sophie Nadeau
With each season comes new weather patterns, varying temperatures and a whole host of interesting things to see, do, and eat. Travelling to Europe is just as diverse as the continent is large; that is to say, there are plenty of options on offer! But when is the best time to travel to Europe? When should you personally go? Here’s your complete guide on when to visit the European continent, and where to go.

When is the best time to travel to Europe (by season)?
While any fellow fan of the continent would agree that Europe is always worth a visit, when you should plan your visit depends much on what you like, your favourite weather types and if you like to travel with fewer crowds around. After all, fewer tourists equal shorter queues…
And if you’re looking for even more Europe inspiration? Be sure to check out our guide to the very best of Europe bucket list. Otherwise, for more expert tips about what to pack, customs to know about, and other things to know before you go, check out our guide to the best Europe travel tips.
When to visit Europe by Season
Europe in the Spring (shoulder season)
The smell of sweet spring blossom fills the air and the promise of longer days is on the horizon. Visiting Europe in the spring is always a happy time to visit as cafés spill out onto the pavements and birdsong fills the air once more.
Top spring break destinations in Europe for spotting cherry blossom and eating great food include Paris (think plenty of spring blossom), Seville (the spring is a better time to visit this Spanish city if too much hot weather isn’t really your thing), Amsterdam (fewer crowds and all of the tulips), and Ljubljana (this Slovenian city offers plenty of parks and open-air cafés).
Why visit Europe in the spring?
Cheaper airfares before peak season, fewer tourists, hotel discounts and the accommodation of your choice is almost certainly on offer, museums that are not overly crowded.
Read more: Best Spring Destinations in Europe.
Europe in the Summer (high season)
Hot summer heat and throngs of tourists flock to the European continent. Europe in the summer is the perfect opportunity to get off the beaten track a little and search for those hidden gems while everyone else is queuing up for any given iconic tourist attraction in a place. If you love sunny and warm weather, then you’re almost guaranteed to find it if you travel through most of Europe in the summer months.
Top summer destinations include Provence (this French region is filled with mountains, secret beaches, and vineyards to visit), Greek islands (perfect for soaking up summer sun and history simultaneously), and road trips- check out our best road trip tips- through the UK (summer is quite literally the only time of the year where the UK gets great weather and it’s not raining!)
Why visit Europe in the summer?
Some of the best reasons to head to Europe during the warmest months of the year include beaches, long sunny days, amazing weather, if you don’t mind queuing to see some of the more iconic European attractions, open-air cafés, and a summer vibe.
Read more: Best summer destinations in Europe!
Europe in the Fall (shoulder season)
Crisp mornings and plenty of fall foliage, there is perhaps no better time to visit Europe than in the fall. Fewer tourists, cheaper prices and finding that everything is still open are just a couple of reasons many people opt to see Europe during the autumnal months.
Visiting most countries in the fall (with the exception of parts of France and Italy) will also ensure that you’re seeing the continent during the shoulder season, meaning fewer crowds and lower prices. In my personal opinion, the best time to travel to Europe is easily the fall!
Top fall destinations in Europe include Gdansk (in Northern Poland), Luxembourg (this gem of a country is filled with friendly locals, great food and oodles of castles), and Switzerland (travelling through one of the most expensive countries in Europe during the shoulder season will ensure you snap up some of the cheapest fares possible).
Why visit Europe in the Autumn?
Fall foliage, fewer tourists, cheaper airfare and hotel prices- ie making your wallet happy in general, wine drinking (much of the previous season’s vines have been harvested and processed), and the Northern Lights if you head to countries like Sweden and Iceland.
Read more: Best Fall Destinations in Europe.
Europe in the Winter (low season)
The promise of snow, cosy fires and plenty of mulled wine makes Europe the perfect winter destination for those wishing to experience Christmas markets, sparkling lights and all of the rich delicious food that’s available across the continent.
If you’ve not already tried it, I also highly recommend sampling some mulled wine (also known as vin chaud or Glühwein). This spicy hot drink is the perfect winter warmer and a real speciality of the continent. If you’re looking for the best time to travel to Europe and you fancy a little magic along the way, then a little European chill may well be for you!
If you’re planning on enjoying some of the best Christmas markets in Europe, then you should note that, as the majority of European countries celebrate Christmas day on the 24th December, most Christmas markets end by this date.
Top winter destinations in Europe include the French Alps (perfect for all manner of snow sports and cheaper than the Swiss Alps), the German Christmas markets (the Bavarian style chalets are now famous throughout the world and find their origins in Germany), and Finland (original ‘home’ of Father Christmas and the actual home to plenty of reindeer!).
Why visit Europe in the Winter?
Visit Europe in the winter (low season) if you like skiing, cold weather, other snow sports, snow-capped mountains, Christmas markets, and so so so much more! If you’re planning to visit Europe in the winter months, then you can expect to have many places to yourself as there are fewer crowds in the winter months than at any other time of the year…
Why the European Shoulder Season is the best time to travel Europe
What is the European shoulder season?
Hands down, my personal favourite time to visit Europe is during the shoulder seasons (i. e. during the spring and summer months of the year). April through to Mid June and September through to October form the bulk of the shoulder seasons; a time when it’s not quite peak season, nor is it off-season.
Reasons to visit Europe during the shoulder seasons
There are fewer Tourists
Let’s just get this one out the way first: During the shoulder seasons in Europe, you’ll often find fewer tourists than at many other times of the year (including Christmas time)! That in itself is a very good reason to visit the continent.
After all, fewer tourists mean less waiting times in queues, which in turn means that you’ll be able to pack plenty more activities into your European itinerary. Just bear in mind that shoulder season doesn’t always translate to fewer tourists- particularly in major cities like Rome and Paris- so make sure you do your research first!
You’ll see the changing of the Seasons
There is one good word to describe the changing of the seasons in Europe. And that is: beautiful. There are perhaps few times where Europe is prettier than in the shoulder seasons.
Think hues of pink in the spring months, and golden tones in the Autumn. In mid-April, you’ll find tulip season in the Netherlands, while you’ll find spring blossom pretty much everywhere around March time!
You’ll find cheaper flights (and other methods of transportation)
The shoulder seasons are often cheaper in terms of travel as airlines and train companies attempt to shift tickets to an ever-dwindling number of passengers. While you may find that not as many attractions are open as in the summer months, the fact that travel is often cheaper easily makes up for the fact!
You’ll find cheaper accommodation
Much like the transport situation in Europe during the shoulder seasons, accommodation is often cheaper too. (However, this is not always the case so make sure to do your research first!) Head to smaller towns, cities and villages to find the best deals.
The weather is (often) still good!
Throughout much of September, right through to early November, many places throughout Europe still enjoy the warm weather. The air is not as sticky or as hot as in the summer months, and the weather is still pleasant.
Though the weather can be unpredictable at times, in both the spring and the autumn, you’ll likely need a light jacket at most. Good weather also means that many outdoor attractions still look pretty, in either spring blooms or autumnal leaves.

Europe (without the euro) | Europe holidays
Bulgaria
In addition to boasting some of Europe’s last deserted beaches, Bulgaria’s mountain ranges are a delight in summer. For a scenic, culture-rich trail, drive and walk through the heart of the Balkan ranges; take in the medieval tsars’ capital Veliko Tarnovo, with its hilltop fortress and breath-taking Preobrajenski monastery; or breathe in the Rose Valley, where most of Europe’s rose oil is produced. On the way to Sofia, stop in the quiet 19th-century village of Koprivshtitsa, where every house is a masterpiece. The Rodopi mountains in the south are more beguiling yet: explore pine-forests, caves, national revival villages such as Shiroka Laka, and Bulgaria’s Ottoman heritage – Muslim villages frozen in time. This region, home of the Mystery of Bulgarian Voices choir, is the birthplace of Orpheus; visit the scary Devil’s Throat cave, where Orpheus reputedly entered the underworld.
Value for money The pound used to be worth three Bulgarian levs, but has dropped by a third recently. Still, if you avoid the overpriced seaside resorts, Bulgaria is still astonishingly good value for money. Boutique hotels outside the big tourist spots are startlingly affordable.
Best beaches Some of Europe’s last deserted beaches survive along the Bulgarian coast. Most white-sand gems are in the south, part of a secretive and under-visited region, the forested Strandja national park. Ropotamo, south of the ancient town of Sozopol, is set in a lush, protected lagoon, while Sinemorets, a few miles from the Turkish border, has several dreamy beaches. And up near the Romanian border, the natural reserve of Durankulak has some very private wild spots for diving, bird-watching and romantic getaways.
If resorts are your thing, try Sveti Konstantin, a boutique complex with a classy beach near Varna, or the grand-sounding Riviera holiday club, set in a private park for an exclusive feel. Albena, with its 4km strip of beautiful sand and clear waters, boasts good water sports.
Family favourites The excellent-value Hotel Kaliakra (albena.bg) in Albena is ideal for families – right on the beach with a kids’ swimming pool, playgrounds and kindergarten (at an extra charge). If you don’t need a beach, the five-star hideaway spa-hotel Park Hotel Pirin at the foot of the Pirin mountains offers family suites with two or three bedrooms that work out quite reasonably. The speciality here is decadent beauty and spa treatments, but little ones can enjoy the children’s pool and playroom, and in the evening the open-air garden restaurant is great for families.
Cultural highlights The capital, Sofia, boasts the Balkans’ most extravagant cathedral, Alexander Nevski, the funky ethnographic and archaeological museums, and attractive art galleries, all within a 10-minute trot across the emblematic Communist-time yellow tiles. Loiter with intent in hilly Plovdiv, a gorgeous ancient town bristling with cobbled streets and impressive Roman remains. Varna on the coast is the kind of stately, pedestrianised belle-epoque town you didn’t expect here. Hear some top talent in the turn-of-the-century opera house, wander around the Roman thermae, and gawk at the world’s oldest gold treasure in the beautifully appointed archeological museum.
Summer climate Summer in Bulgaria runs from June to early September and it is reliably warm, dry and sunny. The seaside enjoys a breeze that cools it down at night. The mountain regions can get hot and sticky, but nights are always fresh. You can expect 25C to 30C this summer and rain is highly unusual, but take the usual precautions against sunburn.
Culinary treats Food is a fusion of Balkan, Middle Eastern and central European cuisines; head for the traditional tavernas called mehana and don’t miss the traditional pastry banitsa and delicious chunky dips lsuch peppery lyutenitsa and aubergine-based kyopolu. Must-try regional dishes slow-cooked in earthenware dishes are Bansko’s kapama, kavarma, and mussaka. Bulgarian red wines are outstanding, too.
How to get there Direct return flights for under £200 from London to Sofia take three hours (Wizz Air, Bulgaria Air, EasyJet, British Airways). All these plus Thomson Airways also fly to Varna and Burgas on the coast. Kapka Kassabova
Turkey
A halfway house between the cultural sophistication of Italy and the exoticism of Arabia, and half-priced at that, Turkey is the place for endlessly stuffing on unimproved ancient ruins and delicious Byzantine cuisine; it also does a nice line in beaches, bars and even banana boats. This vast country’s time-out corner is the mountain-backed shoreline of the south-west, with everything from mega-disco Halikarnas at bustling Bodrum to low-key paradises such as Patara where 20km of pristine powder sand front the first-century ruins of the birthplace of St Nicholas (Santa Claus). Oh, and people so nice that we in the EU should be begging them to join us.
Value for money Turkey is roughly 10% more expensive this year than last, but prices (in Turkish lira) outside the tourist hot spots are still very reasonable. Splurge on good-value items such as public transport, shopping and tours; prepare yourself to wince when it comes to car hire, petrol and wine.
Best beaches Whether it’s the Mediterranean or the Aegean, Turkey does coastline in spades, though its endless bays and coves can often be stony and plagued by sea urchins. For the best sand of all, take the 30-minute boat service downriver from Dalyan to Iztuzu, famed for its nesting turtle populations. For families with young children, Oludeniz has a shallow lagoon beach, facilities and shade. And for total escape, there’s nothing to beat the Beyaz Yunus Faralya (exclusiveescapes.co.uk), a collection of decked cabins set in a forest clearing at the foot of a sheer track where mountains meet sea.
Family favourites Ocakkoy (anatoliansky.co.uk) is a restored hillside village near Fethiye, with simple accommodation in 30 stone cottages set in spacious grounds, with swimming pools, a play area, family-friendly restaurant, and regular shuttle service to nearby Oludeniz beach. Black Tree Cottages offer individual mountain hideaways with stunning views over the Lycian coast. They are set in a rustic haven crawling with farm animals, and excellently served with a pool and walking trails.
Cultural highlights Conveniently, the ruins are often right by the beach, as typified by tree-choked Olimpos near the simple holiday cabins and oleander-filled gardens at Cirali (cirali. org). Not that you shouldn’t gird yourself for a foray into the mountains, perhaps to take in a major site such as Aphrodisias, with its exceptional reliefs and carvings. For something more recent, there’s the haunting ghost town of Kaya, inspiration for Louis De Bernières’ novel Birds Without Wings.
Summer climate With temperatures that can often feel more Egyptian than Greek – 45C is common – it won’t be the rain that drives you indoors. If the heat gets oppressive, join the locals and migrate to the mountains where you’ll find charming traditional village accommodation at Bezirgan, and icy canyon waters and riverside restaurants at Saklikent. Alternatively, savour the offshore breezes by hiring a floating villa: the gulet, Turkey’s delightful small-group cruising schooner, is the perfect way to enjoy this concertina coastline (petersommer.com; anatoliansky.co.uk).
Culinary treats Fish being expensive and unimaginatively served, you could do worse than make the starter your main by majoring on mezes – all manner of yoghurt and vegetable dips, cheese-filled borek (pastries) and salads, often with more unusual inclusion, such as deniz borulcesi (samphire).
How to get there A flight of roughly four hours, from some 20 airports across the UK, will get you to Dalaman, the region’s main airport, or to Bodrum, Antalya or Izmir. A £10 visa fee is payable on arrival. Jeremy Seal

Lithuania
Twice the size of Belgium and generally half as expensive, Lithuania possesses more history than the reading room at the British Library, plus 60 miles of white sandy beaches and a wealth of cultural distractions. Away from the pricey capital, Vilnius (one of this year’s European capitals of culture), splash out in Lithuania’s premier spa town, Druskininkai, a former playground of illustrious Soviet bigwigs with an enormous water park. The country’s fifth city, Siauliai, is often wrongly overlooked as a destination. Playing second fiddle to the extraordinary nearby Hill of Crosses, Siauliai features some of the country’s best examples of 20s and 30s national-style architecture, plus 14 quirky museums and some of the friendliest bars in country. A splendid option for car drivers is to base yourself in the Aukstaitija national park, which is bursting with wildlife and extremely cheap pension-style accommodation. You splash about in its many lakes and use it as a springboard for day trips to nearby attractions.
Value for money Lithuania remains excellent value despite rising prices (the currency is the litas). Plenty of package deals are available, but even doing the whole thing yourself won’t break the bank. As a guide, the Sonata hotel in the tiny health resort of Birstonas, in a wooded park next to the mighty Nemunas river, offers a relaxing upmarket stay with doubles for less than £40 a night.
Best beaches Lithuania’s handsome coastline features the magnificent sand dunes and white beaches of the Curonian Spit, whose foremost laid-back resort Nida prompted novelist Thomas Mann to buy real estate there. For action, you should head north to Palanga, Lithuania’s answer to Margate complete with hedonistic non-stop weekend parties, all-night bars on the beach and a thoroughly kiss-me-quick ambience.
Family favourites For families with young children, Palanga’s excellent value and decidedly swanky Pajurio guest house (sveciunamai.lt) offers a choice of rooms, apartments and even a three-bedroom cottage close to the children’s zoo and two minutes from the sea. Extras include free bicycles and a babysitting service. Just 20 miles west of Vilnius, the Trasalis (trasalis.lt) in the former medieval capital of Trakai has several family-friendly apartments and its own indoor water entertainment centre, tenpin bowling and spa centre. The town’s superb lakes are hugely popular with local families who come to swim, canoe and swim during the high season.
Cultural highlights This year’s capital of culture events in Vilnius promise a unique opportunity to enjoy all manner of special exhibitions and live music. You have to land in Kaunas anyway, so visit the MK Ciurlionis state art museum, dedicated to the work of the nation’s great painter and composer.
Summer climate With long evenings of extended daylight and occasional Mediterranean-like weather, average summer temperatures are known to push the mercury above 30C but are generally similar to those in the UK. July is usually the wettest month of summer.
Culinary treats Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes – from pancakes with lashings of sour cream to the national dish, the blimp-like beast cepelinai.
How to get there Flights take about two-and-a-half hours. Ryanair is the only way to get there direct, with 18 flights a week to Kaunas from Birmingham, Liverpool, Luton and Stansted. Richard Schofield
Poland
There’s more to Poland than Krakow (though try telling that to the stag parties that arrive each Friday for their Sky Sports with vodka). The capital, Warsaw, has moved fast with the times, and nowadays leftover Soviet showpieces mix with glittering glass towers and world-class bars. Rent a car to explore the Baltic coastline, maybe using the Hanseatic city of Gdansk as your base, or head to the opposite end of the country to hike the Tatra mountains.
Value for money While Poland is no longer the bargain bucket of yesteryear, it’s still possible to make your zlotys go a long way. In Warsaw expect to be paying around £8 for a main course in a high-end restaurant and £2 for a lager, but these prices decline dramatically outside the capital.
Best beaches Once hailed the Monaco of the north, Sopot is where the rich and idle once came to gamble their fortunes during the inter-war years. Today it’s Poland’s most popular resort, and features the longest pier in the Baltics and a beach that positively swarms with inflatable crocodiles and hot dog stands. For something a little less Balearic head to the Slowinski national park, home to the tallest sand dunes in Europe. Rommel was so impressed he trained his Afrika Korps here. For water, though not necessarily sand, take a sailing holiday around the Mazurian lakes, where stop-offs include Hitler’s former headquarters, abandoned castles and ancient forests that bristle with bison.
Family favourites The newly opened Sopot Sheraton features upmarket rooms that stare directly on to the beach below. Pirate ships depart from the pier each day to circle the Bay of Gdansk, while more outdoorsy fun can be had following the cycle trails, visiting Oliwa Zoo or climbing around the reconstructed 10th-century fort. If it’s a rainy day then seek solace in the Sheraton Brunch, an epic Sunday buffet featuring supervised kids activities. The timber-logged Hotel Sabala is typical of the high-end hotels found in the Polish mountains, and nearby attractions include the Zakopane Aquapark, cable car rides up the Tatra Mountains and the nerve jangling Trollandia High Ropes Park.
Cultural highlights For the full Scooby Doo experience, stay in haunted Reszel Castle (zamek-reszel.com), a creepy gothic masterpiece which sits on a craggy rock overlooking the medieval town of Reszel. Rooms have been designed by local sculptor Boleslaw Marschall, with the apartments occupying brick turrets dating from the 15th century. Warsaw’s Old Town isn’t actually old, but if you’re visiting Poland then don’t dare miss it. Flattened by the Germans in 1944, the historic centre has since been meticulously rebuilt, and its inclusion on the Unesco world heritage list speaks volumes for the restoration. Further afield, Majdanek death camp in Lublin is, like the more-visited Auschwitz, an unsettling testament to those murdered in the Holocaust.
Summer climate While average temperatures are 18C in July and August, it’s not uncommon to find the thermometer going beyond 30C. Summer storms are rare but brutal, so bring a brolly – this is especially true in June, traditionally the wettest month of the Polski year.
Culinary treatsPierogi are ravioli-style dumplings filled with anything from strawberries to cabbage, though usually cheese or meat. Braver diners should order bigos, a vile-smelling mash of meat, onion, cabbage and sauerkraut; keep some vodka at hand to wash it down.
How to get there The recent increase in airport taxes has seen numerous budget carriers rethink their strategy and can their flights. Wizz, EasyJet and Ryanair still land at a wide selection of Polish airports (flights take upwards of two hours). National carrier LOT flies to Warsaw and Krakow from Aberdeen, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Heathrow and Manchester. Alex Webber
Croatia
The land of 1,000 islands, Croatia is a popular summer destination with its beautiful coastline, tranquil mountains and national parks. Ecologically one of Europe’s best-preserved countries, exploring it takes you on a thousand-year journey through history, which has been turbulent, exciting and glorious. Lie on golden sandy beaches and swim in romantic coves that are but a stone’s throw from ancient Roman monuments and streets as old as the emperor Diocletian himself.
Value for money The Croatian kuna still represents good value in comparison to Euro-based Mediterranean beach destinations. Half-board ranges from £37-74 per person/per day, while pints of beer are about £2. Look out for special packages that are constantly available via tourist agencies.
Best beaches Croatia’s shores are the hidden garden of the Mediterranean. Zlatni Rat in Bol (on the island of Brac) is the country’s most beautiful beach — more shingle than sand, while on the Peljesac peninsula, the small town of Zuljana boasts one of the most perfect pebbled beaches on the Adriatic. The Kornati National Park’s 150 islands can provide an unforgettable sailing experience as you anchor at any of the hidden beaches, sandy inlets and tiny ports. One other top watery tip: Hotel Maestral (hotelmaestral.com), on the island of Prvic, is a refurbished 19th-century stone house right on the seafront. As part of its restaurant, guests can admire the sea views from a 12-metre floating pontoon.
This article was amended on Monday 20 April 2009. The original referred to Zlatni Rat as a sand beach. This has been corrected.
Family favourites In May, Hotel Vespera on the island of Losinj will reopen as a 400-room, state-of-the-art hotel complex. It is 50 metres from the beach and outdoor pools will cascade towards the sea. Children should enjoy the huge water slides, tobogganing, wave pools and waterfalls. The huge Hotel Funimation complex in Zadar is another geared towards family entertainment, with swimming courses for kids, fun sports, children’s olympics, children’s cinema, mini discos and much more.
Cultural highlights Trogir, known as the “museum city” because of its high concentration of palaces, churches, and towers, is a Unesco world heritage site. The town of Rovinj, famous for the church of St Euphemia, irresistibly draws artists inspired by its vistas, preserved old town houses and picturesque streets. Sibenik is over 1,000 years old and will expose you to some of the most precious works of art in Dalmatia.
Summer climate Centrally positioned along the Adriatic, Croatia has a typical Mediterranean climate, with southern coastal cities always a few degrees hotter then the north (don’t be surprised if temperatures reach the mid-30s during peak season). The average sea temperature is 25C to 27C, perfect for a dip or snorkel.
Culinary treats Fishy delicacies include octopus cooked in an ispod peke (a traditional Dalmatian cast-iron bell heaped with glowing ash) and brudet, a delicious stew of sea eel, red fish and other sea fish. For a quick snack, try salted sardines served with olive oil, bread and salted capers. The town of Ston is known for its cultivation of oysters: a gastronomic delight.
How to get there Split, at the heartland of Dalmatia, has two-hour flights from London with Croatia Airlines, British Airways and EasyJet (which also flies to Liverpool). All three airlines also fly from London to Dubrovnik’s Cilipi airport. Pula Airport in Istria has flights from Edinburgh (Ryanair) and London (Croatia Airlines). Frank Jelincic
where to relax if the vacation fell in the spring / Blog Chip.Travel
Spring is a transitional season, when it is still cold in some countries, while it starts to rain in others. Therefore, it seems that in the spring there is nowhere to go, and you will either have to freeze abroad or spend your holidays at home. Actually it is not.
We have compiled a list of countries where it is warm and cozy in spring. Choose one of them – and finally take a break from the protracted Russian winter.
Israel
Average air temperature +21…28 °С, water +21…24 °С
Summer in Israel is hot and humid, and cold in winter. Therefore, spring is the ideal time of the year to travel.
In March and April it is still cool on the Red Sea, but you can swim in the Dead Sea, combining a beach holiday with a wellness one. Well, in May it becomes warm enough for swimming anywhere.
If you are interested in religious sites, then spring is the best time to visit Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem and Akko. Tours can be chilly in winter and too hot in summer.
Easter is also celebrated in Israel in spring. Pilgrims from all over the world come to the Holy Land, and even tourists can take part in religious processions and attend services.

Passover celebration in Israel
Average air temperature +18…23 °С, water +20…22 °С . Tourists can improve their health at the Dead Sea or visit religious sites: the churches of Amman, ancient Petra, Mount Nebo and the Jordan River.

China, Hainan
Average air temperature +27…32 °С, water +26…29 °С
On the tropical island of Hainan, the beach season opens in March. In the evenings it is still cool, but it does not interfere with swimming. In April it becomes quite warm and sunny, and in May the rainy season is slowly approaching. Here are some things to consider when choosing a vacation time in Hainan:
It is worth going in March if you are relaxing with children, do not like the sweltering heat and are ready to put up with a light evening coolness.
In April – if you like good hot sunny weather.
In May – if you tolerate the stuffiness well and are ready to put up with the rains in order to save on a ticket.
As early as in May, surfers enjoy the expanse – huge waves rise, which are ideal for surfing.
Before it gets too hot, you can go sightseeing. Architectural – in Santo Domingo, which is included in the UNESCO list. Natural – in the national parks: “Armando Bermudez”, “Los Aitises”, “Jaragua” and “El Choco”.

Dominican Republic
The average air temperature is +30…32 °С, water +26…28 °С
At the end of May it starts to rain in the Dominican Republic, but the rest of the time the weather is perfect: not too hot, not stuffy and a lot of sun.
In the spring, you can go diving in the Dominican Republic – dive into the caves of Chicho and Padre Nuestro, go down to the wreck of the Patricia or visit the ship graveyard in Monte Cristi.
Surfing is also a good time: the waves and wind are good. For experienced surfers, the waves will not seem too high, but if you have not stood on the board before, the conditions for learning are almost hothouse.

UAE
Average air temperature +27…30 °С, water +23…27 °С
Spring is the season in the UAE – the winter coolness is leaving, but the exhausting summer heat has not yet begun. You can swim in the Emirates along the entire coast, but the resorts have their own characteristics:
Dubai is luxurious and comfortable, but expensive, and almost all beaches are paid.
Abu Dhabi is calm and the most inexpensive, it is good to relax there with children.
Sharjah is suitable for outdoor activities, but this is an emirate with strict Arab laws – you can not undress on the beaches.
Ajman, on the contrary, gives tourists relief – there is no strict dry law.
Fujairah is a great place for diving.
It is also worth going to the UAE for a luxurious shopping experience. In the spring there are no special discounts and sales, but you can buy branded items from new collections, and it’s still cheaper than in Russia.

Tunisia
Average air temperature +18…20 °С, water +15…16 °С
The beach season in Tunisia begins only at the end of May, and with it the exhausting heat comes to this country. If you prefer moderate heat, it is better to come to Tunisia in the spring. Swimming in the sea will not work, but you can fully enjoy thalassotherapy – treatment with sea water.
All resorts in Tunisia have medical centers where they treat skin diseases, relieve arthritis and rheumatism, help to lose weight. And if nothing hurts you, spa treatments will simply help you relax and relieve stress. Look for the best treatment centers in Sousse, Djerba and Monastir.
Spring coolness is the best companion for visiting Tunisian sights. Most of the antiquities you will find in the capital of the country, the city of Tunisia. You should definitely visit the ruins of the legendary Carthage and Djerba with its beautiful nature.

Vietnam
Average air temperature +30…32 °С, water +28…30 °С.
Officially, the rainy season begins in May in Vietnam, but in fact the weather deteriorates slightly already in March-April. But in fact, tropical rains are not as terrible as they are portrayed. Usually they last no more than half an hour, go at night and practically do not interfere with rest.
Many even come to Vietnam specifically in the spring, because prices start to drop and there are fewer tourists.
Of course, it cannot be said that everything is perfect in Vietnam in the spring. Sometimes you will have to swim under an overcast sky, and the humidity of the air rises, so it becomes a little more difficult to breathe. There is a risk that a sudden downpour will ruin the tour. But for a beach holiday and diving, spring is quite suitable.

Europe
Average air temperature in the south +15…18 °С, in the center and in the north +10…+15 °С
It is impossible to lie on the beach in Europe in the spring, except that at the end of May the swimming season opens in Greece, Spain and Cyprus. But Europe is still more about sights, and spring is the perfect time for a sightseeing holiday. The winter cold is over, the summer heat has not yet begun, there are no autumn rains – in general, the weather is ideal for a visit to the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Spain or Greece.

Where to go in April – beach, sightseeing and event tourism
April is an “intermediate” off-season month, when winter resorts are already losing their relevance, and most beach resorts are just getting ready to receive tourists in the high summer season.
April is good because you can relax after the winter, but even before the onset of summer, and besides, it is very inexpensive. Another plus for a holiday in April is the absence of an excessive influx of tourists on popular destinations. But it should be borne in mind that at the end of April, the tourist rush before the May holidays is growing, many are eager to spend the treasured weekend in distant countries, which means that with demand, prices will also increase for this period.
Beach holidays in April
Egypt is traditionally popular for holidays in April due to the low price, short flight, comfortable service and the opportunity to swim in the sea. The weather during this period in Egypt is ideal – the period of February winds has long passed, and the summer sweltering heat is still far away.
You can have a great rest in April on the beaches of the Red or Dead Seas by going to resorts in Israel or Jordan . In addition, here you can combine relaxation with a treatment program or go to biblical places.
In Turkey in April it is still not too hot and it is unlikely that you will be able to swim in the sea. However, very attractive prices, along with the all-inclusive concept and heated pools, attract those who want to relax in peace and comfort. In April, it is good to combine such a vacation with sightseeing trips – fortunately, Turkey has enough interesting ancient and modern sights.
A full beach holiday in April is guaranteed by the waters of the Persian Gulf, tours at UAE fully satisfy the demands of tourists demanding weather conditions and service.
Traveling in April to Thailand is worth it only for those who tolerate the heat well: April is the hottest month in Thailand. In April, Thais celebrate the Thai New Year Songkran. The holiday is accompanied by general dousing and splashing with water, as well as fragrant talc, so it is better to postpone evening dresses for a while and wear something simpler.
Prices for tours to Thailand in April are also very attractive, and expenses in the country itself will generally seem symbolic. It remains only to choose a resort suitable for your holiday: noisy Pattaya with an active nightlife, prestigious Phuket with picturesque landscapes, cozy Koh Samui or numerous islands Krabi – there are a lot of options for holidays in Thailand.
Thailand
Youth companies and couples in love are perfect for a vacation in April the island of Cyprus – “island of love”. The tourist season in Cyprus is just beginning to “wake up” in April, it is not as noisy and fun here as in summer, however, you can have a very good time on the island and bask in the abundant sunshine on sandy beaches, such as Ayia Napa.
At the Indian resort Goa , the season just ends in April. At this time, the weather begins to change here – the temperature and humidity of the air rise, it becomes stuffy and not very comfortable. Therefore, if you still decide to go to Goa in the spring, it is better to choose March for this.
Popular island Tenerife awaits tourists with open arms in April. Canary Islands (this is the territory of Spain) is the best place to relax in April, the tourist season starts here just this month.
Holidays in the Canary Islands in April
Do not forget about the archipelago Madeira , which also lies in the Atlantic Ocean, but is an autonomous territory of Portugal. The climate on the island is extremely mild, and the rest on the island is comfortable all year round, but in the evening it is worth taking warm clothes.
Tourists can take advantage of a great opportunity to relax on the Atlantic coast by going to Agadir – a beach resort Morocco . The country is amazing, it attracts tourists with its African and Arab culture and exoticism.
In Sri Lanka , the inter-monsoon period begins in April, it can rain and storm a little, but days with good weather will still be enough for a comfortable stay.
Visa-free countries

For those who are late to submit documents or simply do not want to deal with visas, the list of countries for visa-free or facilitated entry will help.
From visa-free* countries for a beach holiday in April, you can choose: Morocco, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Thailand, Sri Lanka.
