Cape Verde or the Canary Islands as a holiday destination?

Cape Verde or the Canary Islands? Which archipelago is most suitable for your vacation? Both archipelagos are beautiful and are at about 2 hour flight (1,500 kilometers) from each other. They are located off the coast of Europe and Africa. There is much to see and experience on these beautiful island groups. Given the geographical location, there are many similarities, but also some important differences. We have listed a number of important differences (and similarities) in this article for you. This will makes it easier for you to make a choice for your holiday destination if you want to go for the first time to one of the two destinations.

Location and islands

Cape Verde and the Canary Islands (part of Spain) are part of Maracronesia, a collection of four archipelagos formed by sea mountains on the ocean bottom with peaks above the ocean surface. The islands are of volcanic origin and have a unique biosphere.

The Canary Islands consist of 7 inhabited islands, including Cran Ganaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote. This Spanish archipelago belongs to Europe and is located at around 1,100 kilometers from the mainland of Spain. The island of Lanzarote is approximately 100 kilometers off the coast of Morocco. The islands are very diverse and attract both beach and nature lovers. The large islands are very popular with tourists and are by now less unspoilt.

Cape Verde – the old colony of Portugal – consists of 9 inhabited islands including Santiago, Sao Vicente, Sal and Boavista. In addition to being located further south than the Canary Islands, Cape Verde is also further from the coast of Africa. Cape Verde is 664 kilometers from the mainland (Senegal). The islands differ greatly from each other, which makes it so unique. Each island has its qualities and is suitable for certain activities such as surfing, hiking or enjoying beautiful beaches.

Similar climate

Sun in abundance on both archipelagos. The weather on Cape Verde and the Canary Islands is fairly similar. Temperatures are nice all year round. Ofcourse in summer it is warmer than in winter. In Cape Verde temperatures – partly due to the closer location near the equator – are slightly higher than on the Canary Islands. The weather varies depending on the height and the location of the various islands. On the flat islands (Sal, Boavista, Maio or Fuerteventura, Lanzarote) it is generally warmer. Both archipelagos are a good winter sun destination and for surfing enthusiasts the conditions are perfect as well.

Beautiful beaches on both archipelagos

The beaches are an important reason for many travelers to go to Cape Verde or the Canary Islands. Both Cape Verde and the Canary Islands have beautiful beaches. Even so beautiful that they are often mentioned in the list of the top beaches in the world. You have both white and black volcanic sandy beaches on both archipelagos. On Cape Verde, especially the sandy beaches on Sal, Boavista and Maio are well known. On the Canary Islands, these are the sandy beaches on the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Cape Verde is cheaper

In addition to the average prices in Cape Verde being a lot lower than in the Europe, the price level in Cape Verde is also a lot lower compared to the Canary Islands. To illustrate, what do you pay for a comfortable hotel room, 2-course dinner, drinks and a taxi / museum visit? On Cape Verde between 40 and 90 euros. On the Canary Islands, these expenses are between 60 and 150 euros. Note: prices can vary greatly per island and location. Prices are much lower on the smaller islands.

Lots of tourism on the Canary Island

After the landing of the first charter plane (1956) on the Canary Islands, tourism exploded. Almost every year the record of tourists arriving at the Canary Islands is broken. In 2017, 4.6 million tourists visited the Canary Islands. Most tourists visit the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

The number of tourists in Cape Verde is in stark contrast to that of the Canary Islands. In 2017 there were more than 700 thousand tourists in Cape Verde. Mainly on the islands of Sal, Boavista and Santiago. Tourism in Cape Verde is developing rapidly. The advantage for the government of Cape Verde is that they can watch and learn from other countries how they want to shape tourism or not. Cape Verde is increasingly trying to focus on sustainable tourism instead of only mass tourism

Nightlife

When the sun goes down nightlife starts. In every archipelago and on every island in its own way. On the tourist islands of the Canary Islands, nightlife is highly developed. Well-known areas are the Playa de las America on Tenerife and Playa del Ingles on Gran Canaria. You have an abundance of restaurants, bars and clubs here. Nightlife on Cape Verde is at a smaller scale and you can mainly find it on the islands of Sal, Santiago (Praia) and Sao Vicente (Mindelo).

In summary

Cape Verde and the Canary Islands are difficult to compare. Both archipelagos have their own atmosphere and culture. Quite similar are the climate and the beautiful beaches. Cape Verde is approximately 700 kilometers more to the south than the Canary Islands and is closer to the equator. Partly because of this, the temperature is slightly higher in Cape Verde. Travelers who love a lot of bars, shops and commerce will like it best on the Canary Islands. For nature lovers, no mass tourism and relaxed culture, Cape Verde is a must. Both on Cape Verde and the Canary Islands there are major differences between the islands themselves. This means that there is something for everyone.

British-based banks planning for EU ‘no’ stymied by lack of European office space

By Sinead Cruise, Anjuli Davies

LONDON (Reuters) – A shortage of prime office space in rival European financial centres may torpedo plans by some of London’s banks to quit the UK capital if Britain opts out of European Union membership.

Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU and then hold a vote by the end of 2017 on whether to stay in the bloc or leave.

Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE, the euro zone’s second largest bank by assets, confirmed this week it was considering cutting its UK operations if the country pulled out, and other big global banks are expected to rethink the scale of their UK operations under such an eventuality.

But decamping from their expansive London homes to Frankfurt, Paris or Dublin would be no simple task.

“None of the major European cities could cater for that kind of demand at the click of fingers or even with six months notice,” said Mat Oakley, head of commercial research at global real estate consultancy Savills SVS.L.

“The markets across Europe are pretty tight in terms of vacancy rates and lenders are so risk averse in terms of speculative office development that a bank would have to do a pre-let (commit to rent a property before it has been built), or buy a site,” he said.

Both of those options would incur large unnecessary costs if the UK stays in the EU.

“The potential referendum on EU membership bothers many of our clients immensely,” said Miles Gibson, Head of UK Research at real estate advisor CBRE CBG.N.

“Even though we think the PM would campaign for an ‘in’ vote and would ultimately win, the sooner he can resolve this issue, the better.”

London’s status as a global financial centre dates back to the 16th century, when it became a hotbed of merchant banking, international trade and commerce strategically placed between the ‘Old World’ Europe and the ‘New World’ Americas.

Fortune-seekers have flocked to the capital in every century since and a large financial services industry now thrives in two main financial districts – the historic City and the modern estate of Canary Wharf, built in the late 1980s to accommodate banks keen to cash in on an era of light-touch regulation.

London was home to 143,500 banking professionals at the end of 2014, according to lobby group TheCityUK.

Office occupiers in the UK capital typically allow 11.3 square metres per workstation, according to the British Council for Offices.

London based banks tend to occupy this size of space in large buildings where trading and lending teams can work in close contact. So if they wanted to move 100,000 of staff out of London, they would need to find 1.13 million square metres of equivalent prime space elsewhere.

But there is just 1.46 million square metres of vacant prime and non-prime quality office space in Frankfurt, 941,000 square metres in Paris and 451,111 square metres in Dublin, data from real estate firm CBRE shows.

Some banks have already shifted back-office and support functions to countries like Ireland.

But Dublin is not an easy option for any substantial future move either, having seen the largest annual increase in prime office space occupancy costs – a proxy for demand – worldwide, recording a 34.9 percent rise year-on-year in 2014, CBRE said.

Just 1. 8 percent of the city’s total Grade A office space – prime real estate in its two best postal districts of Dublin 2 and Dublin 4 – was available to rent at the end of the first quarter 2015, further data from the real estate advisor showed.

As a result, says Savills’ Oakley, many of his financial services clients have suggested they are likely to leave the bulk of their operations in place whatever the referendum outcome.

“…The practicalities of hiring or moving 1,000-5,000 staff to comparatively small markets in Ireland, France or Germany were so spectacularly difficult, they couldn’t envisage moving lock, stock and barrel,” he said.

“NOT ALL OR NOTHING”

While other banks may be concerned about the impact of Britain leaving Europe, many of them are pressing ahead with building projects in London that would appear to secure the city’s position as Europe’s top financial centre.

Goldman Sachs, which employs around 5,500 people in Britain, is building a new 111,500 square metre European headquarters in London’s Farringdon business hub.

Separately, construction is underway to create a new 65,000 square metre City base for Swiss bank UBS UBSG.VX.

And even Deutsche Bank, despite its worst-case scenario contingency plans – is looking to rent additional space in Canary Wharf to house people from several London offices, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Deutsche employs around 9,000 people in the UK in 16 locations, the bulk of which reside in its Moorgate headquarters.

“It’s not as binary as just simply moving out of the UK altogether,” said one investment banking source speaking on condition of anonymity.

“There are many reasons why banks are in the UK. Their clients are here, it has the biggest stock exchange in Europe. It’s not all or nothing.”

France’s Societe Generale SOGN.PA has also signed up to a 25-year lease on 26,000 square metres of offices currently under construction in Canary Wharf. The bank is due to move in 2019.

JPMorgan meanwhile, which employs around 19,000 people in the UK including 11,000 in London, says it has no special task force in place to consider what an exit from the EU would mean for its British business.

Perhaps some remember a previous move away from London made by several major hedge funds in 2009. They included Brevan Howard, which moved its main office to Geneva as tax rate hikes and tighter EU regulations loomed.

Three years later, however it was on the hunt again for properties in London. Hedge fund industry sources said the plan suggested some traders were missing the city’s buzzing night life.

“We could move our HQ wherever we want,” said one senior investment banker who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“We would never do this as London is a market that allows you to attract talent. If you want to be close to the action, you have to be in London.”

Jane: To plant, or not to plant, that is the question. That’s a terrible question! The answer is obviously to plant but there is a small theatrical angle on this week’s show as I head to London to discover a hidden horticultural gem.

[music]

Jane: My name’s Jane Perrone, host of this podcast On The Ledge, the aural destination for all things houseplant related. In this episode I visit the Barbican Conservatory in the great capital city of London to find out about the incredible plant collection there and I answer a question about a Kentia Palm.

I do hope you’ve had a fabulous week. I’ve been doing my annual spring clean of the shed, it took so long and it’s still not finished but it’s very satisfying to clear up the disaster area that was a lot of spilled potting mix and all kinds of mess. The shed is also home to my hardier, not hardy, but hardier cacti and succulents, so they’ve had their first watering. I need to go and check on them and make sure the whole thing hasn’t collapsed into a pile of mush, so fingers crossed.

The Plant Ledger is out, if you’ve subscribed, you should have received a copy in your inbox, if you haven’t subscribed, remember it’s only going out to people who have actually signed up specifically to The Plant Ledger, you can sign up at JanePerrone.com there’s a big link that says The Plant Ledger. I’ll also put a link in the show notes to this episode. It’s my roundup of the UK houseplant scene, you don’t have to be from the UK to subscribe but lots of the stuff in there is relevant to you if you are.

On the Patreon front, Irina became a Ledge-end and Lauren became a Crazy Plant Person. This coming Sunday, 10th April, 2022. I’m hosting two Zoom sessions for Patreons at the Ledge-end and Superfan level, one for each of those tiers. You will have a message in your inbox from me with that Zoom link if you are a Patreon subscriber at those levels. It’s a chance to just chat, no set agenda, just a chance to have a chat with me, so please do come and join me. If you’re not a Patreon subscriber and you want the chance to join these kind of things then check out the show notes for details on how to do that. Thanks also to LozzaP in the UK for leaving a lovely review for the show.

I’ve heard from several people saying thank goodness you got rid of that water noise and, if that’s you, I’m really glad that you’re happy about it but it emphasises my point, said before and I’ll repeat it again, if there’s something you don’t like in the show, if I’ve made a mistake, even if it’s just a typo in the show notes, please do let me know. Don’t assume that somebody else is telling me this stuff because it’s hearing back from you that enables me to make the show better, so any errors, mistakes, constructive criticisms I would love to hear them and you can drop that to [email protected] I read everything and try to get back to as many people as I can.

Jane: I can’t believe I’ve been travelling to London for visits all my life and yet I’d never been to the conservatory at the Barbican. The Barbican is a really famous part of London, you may recognise it from its brutalist architecture, basically it’s a massive lump of concrete and its very fine theatre. The last play I saw there was Mr Benedict Cumberbatch in Hamlet, yes I was in the front row, yes I enjoyed every minute of it. But, you may not know that The Barbican is also home to the second largest glass house in London. I met head gardener Marta Lowcewicz to find out more.

Jane: Well, thank you very much on this snowy day, well, it’s not actually snowy in London but I can tell you there were heavy flurries on my way from Bedfordshire, so it felt rather strange as I was coming into this rather less snowy environment of The Barbican Conservatory. We’re stood here and there’s a lovely… is that a robin singing in the background?

Marta: It is. Actually, we’ve got two robins and they are starting to build their nest in here.

Jane: Oh, that’s so nice. Well I’m glad there’s some wildlife enjoying the trees because you have got some really big trees in here. A high ceiling set around this central concrete tower, the classic Barbican architecture. Lots of people don’t know about this place, tell us a bit about how it came to be here.

Marta: As you probably know, or may not know, we’re based in the city of London in the heart of London, basically. This part of the city of London was heavily bombed during the Second World War simply because of the proximity to St Paul’s Cathedral and after the war, obviously, lots of buildings were in ruin. So the City of London Corporation came up with the idea that they’re going to build a new space that gives people somewhere to live and enjoy themselves. That’s how they came up with the idea of building the Barbican estate and, obviously, the Barbican centre. So the project was designed by three architects, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon. In the process of designing it, and we’re talking about 50s and 60s so that modernist, brutalist architecture, during the process of designing they have to design the theatre and in the old-fashioned theatre, I was told by the architect, they have to build what is called the Fly Tower. So the tower that holds all the flyers, the backgrounds for the theatre. As you can see it’s in front of you, this massive concrete monstrosity, it was a little bit ugly looking, so they tried to disguise it by building a conservatory around it. On the original architect drawings you can see that there was always an idea to build a glasshouse in here. The original ones were actually designed as a pyramid in the Louvre. So that was that triangle shape but, obviously, with the time it evolved into this place. So the Fly Tower actually divides the conservatory into two spaces, the west-facing space and the east-facing space, simply how we are orientated around the world.

Jane: This shows the power of plants really to take, as you say, this brutalist architecture and soften it with lovely plants. So we’ve got some hanging plants, I can see Monstera deliciosa up there, I can see Dracaena trees, there’s lots of lovely plants in here. What climate is this kept to?

Marta: We are London’s second largest glass house after the Temperate glasshouse in Kew Gardens. We have a separate similar temperate regime, so we are a temperate glass house. The temperatures in here will be as low as 11 degrees (Celcius) in the winter and, obviously, as high as possible in the summer. We have a section for our Aroid or succulent plants, where the temperature will fall as low as 8 degrees (Celcius) in the winter. It’s all heated but, as I said, the heating is kept to minimal for the plants to survive and live.

Jane: You’re in a heat island, the City of London, and this is your own little heat island but it’s not that hot, as you say, it doesn’t feel a sauna-like environment, it just feels comfortable, doesn’t it?

Marta: So when people think about it and see it on the photos they think it’s a tropical jungle. We mimic that but it’s not a tropical jungle feel. So if you were lucky to travel to a tropical jungle you can imagine that heat and mist. Sometimes in the summer, if we get more hot summers in London, especially due to the climate change, it will get hot in here but people say: “Why don’t you spray more water?” If I spray more water in here it would be like a sauna as you said, too hot, you couldn’t breathe. It happens sometimes, if we water on a really hot summer day, we try to water in the morning, so when the water evaporates, obviously, the heat… it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity of it that we’re not used to.

Jane: Yes, that can get pretty unpleasant. I can imagine there are some challenges to gardening in this kind of environment, not least handling some of these very, very tall trees and climbers coming off these balconies. Do you have to get out the climbing rope sometimes? How do you keep it looking good?

Marta: Yes, so basically when The Barbican was designed as a building back in the 50s and 60s, health and safety was not in their agenda. So although it looks lovely we sometimes have to put a lot of climbing gear, safety gear on to go into and do some plants. We came up with some weird and wonderful ideas, we use lots of long pole saws to cut some plants that we can’t access. If there’s something which we can’t do, we try to call in every year the arborist, so they will reduce the crown of our trees because they will grow and eventually we cannot move the roof, so we will try to reduce the crown for the trees to fit within the conservatory. By doing that we allow more light for the lower growing plants to thrive in the spring and summer and the winter months, especially.

Jane: I can see a real diversity of plants in here, tell me about some of the stars of the show.

Marta: So we’ve got 1,500 species in here, 300 of them are succulents and the cacti. The stars, it’s tricky to say because we’ve got so many individual plants that’s really, really difficult to pinpoint. We’ve got some rare endangered species. We’ve got an Obetia ficifolia, it’s a nettle family tree and it’s actually endangered in their native habitat. By the way we didn’t go there and poach them; they were donated to us and happened to be there. Especially in the cacti section, we’ve got lots of cacti from Mexico like Lophophora williamsii, Peyote, that is endangered in the wild native habitats. Wherever you look, probably each plant during the whole growing year here is a star for different reasons because we’ve got a collection of Pelargoniums, they will be stars during the summer months. In the late summer, early autumn, they probably would be overtaken by chillis with all the weird and wonderful shapes and things like that. In the winter, we’ve got orchids, cold glass house orchids. We’ve got some Cymbidiums now that are flowering, so it’s ever-changing. We’ve got Birds of Paradise and what is wonderful in this place, when people come in here and because London is so diverse, each plant brings back the memories for them of their home, of their parents, of their travel. So for the people who visit us, different plants are different stars basically, so that’s how I try to measure the success of the place or the stardom of the plants, if that makes sense?

Jane: That does make sense and you’re right, somebody can have a plant that sparks off a particular memory of home or relatives. I guess the one that possibly is iconic is the Monstera deliciosa and you really are showing how this plant, even though it’s growing up concrete, you’re showing how this plant grows as opposed to how we have it in a little tiny pot in the house because it’s romping away up this wall here. Is that one that people particularly want to photograph and look at?

Marta: If you go through Instagram feeds, that’s probably one of your popular platforms now to go through, you will see that one of the most photographed plants in here will be Monstera deliciosas and we do have the variegated versions in here that are quite old and they show the lovely variegation of them, but you’re right, that’s how they grow in their natural habitats in Mexico. They sort of semi-climbing, trailing just create a massive abundance of leaves. When we think about them in our average houseplants, we buy them as a little, little cutting. Sometimes they don’t even have the fenestration, we wait for the fenestration, but people don’t realise generally how big they will grow. I’ve got it with my own sister, she’s like: “Oh, I’d love to have them,” I said: “Do you realise your flat is not big enough to sustain that plant?” If you look on the majority of those plants, you probably can recognise them from your houseplants because they are your houseplants just grown to the size of the space, basically, that’s what happened with them here, we let them loose a little bit.

Jane: Is that an Araucaria, Norfolk Island Pine there that I’m seeing?

Marta: Yes, that’s an Araucaria heterophylla.

Jane: Again, another plant that people grow as a houseplant but here you’re seeing its potential to get very large and very beautiful, but yes I think lots of people struggle with that but it’s a really beautiful tree. What are these trees on the other side here, you’ve got four really tall trees here which I can’t immediately recognise but I’m thinking Ficus?

Marta: Yes, you’re thinking right. If you think about 70s and 80s, that is your staple for every household, so it’s Ficus benjamina.

Jane: Oh it is! Okay, you look at that and go: “Oh yes, that’s why that plant hits your ceiling and gets too big,” because they’re enormous.

Marta: Exactly, they are absolutely enormous and as I said before, every year they get pruned and the crown gets reduced by two-thirds actually.

Jane: Yeah, wow.

Marta: So you can imagine how quickly and how big they can grow in the right conditions.

Jane: Yes, that’s amazing and you don’t have the problem that people have in their homes of moving them about and then all the leaves falling off because these are presumably planted into the ground, how is the soil set up here?

Marta: So the funny fact is that we’re based on the third floor, so underneath are offices, theatre and all the things that make Barbican working. Our beds are not super deep, on the deepest points they are 1.3 metres deep, some of them are shallower and the Ficuses were planted as little babies. If I showed you the archive photos they were just the size of your average houseplant and, over the 40 years they’ve been here, they’ve just grown to the size that you see, so those two/three floors almost.

Jane: It’s really interesting to see what their bark actually looks like because we’re not really used to seeing that, they’ve got lovely smooth, very pale grey bark, which is actually rather lovely.

Marta: Yes, if I look on them in the right mornings or when you catch the light, it’s almost like it’s glistening, some whiteness to it.

Jane: Yes, it’s beautiful. There you go, that’s another example of how we underestimate the potential of houseplants to get huge. Is there anything here that perhaps wouldn’t be well known as a houseplant but could work in a home setting, things that you might be able to try at home that people don’t grow?

Marta: So there is one particular plant that is my favourite and I always recommend it for the dark corners in the houses that people mostly struggle with. It’s a well-known plant but it’s a little bit forgotten at the moment, it’s an Aspidistra…

Jane: Elatior?

Marta: Elatior!

Jane: One of my favourites as well. Although, yes, it’s funny isn’t it, because I think it’s coming back now? People are starting to grow it again.

Marta: It is, yes. There is a smaller version which is Aspidistra crispa and it has white dots on them and there’s even rarer version which has a variegation on it, so you can have the leaf variegated with with white because variegation is not necessarily white, it can be yellow as well just to clarify.

Jane: Yes, well that is a good choice and one of my favourites. Although, I have a variegated one but I found that the variegation indoors just didn’t come very well and I put it outside and the variegation seemed to flourish, so I don’t know whether that’s just probably light.

Marta: It is, all the variegations are related to the light. So the more light they get the variegated plants they will come up with better variegation but, equally, I’ll go back to the variegated Monstera, you see it on the photos of beautiful leaves with hardly any variegation, they’re almost white, if not white. If they were planted on their own they would not survive because they don’t have enough chlorophyll in them to sustain them and keep them growing. So, yes, the variegation is nice but you don’t want to encourage too much of it and you’ll probably notice as well the variegated plant will grow slower because they will need more chlorified green to keep them going.

Jane: Yes, it’s a trade off, isn’t it? This place is open to members of the public part of the time, so if people are coming to London they can look on The Barbican website, do you have a book in advance still? How is it working now?

Marta: At the moment you have to check for the dates because we share the space between lots of different types of events but all the dates are released roughly two weeks in advance. So it’s best to check on the website, pre-book the ticket and all the dates and tickets will be released in half-an-hour slots still, I think, but the tickets are free of charge, so you can get in here and we won’t charge you anything and you can spend as much time as you want inside of here. As I said you have to just pre-book it in advance, it’s super popular unfortunately if you want to get a ticket.

Jane: I bet.

Marta: I will give you a good tip, sometimes on the day there are some extra tickets released, so if you’re not lucky you can try to do it on the day.

Jane: That’s a good tip. Do you have any problems with people who don’t realise that it’s not okay to take cuttings of plants from your space?

Marta: I think, yes, I think like most of the spaces like Kew, Chelsea garden and any space that you can imagine that have got a collection of plants, and especially houseplants, that have been so popular and even during the pandemic. If you have a collection of rare plants, yes, people think it’s okay to take a cutting or they will ask us and we say we’re really sorry but we don’t donate or give away cuttings or even sell them. Because simply if I had 100 people within a week to ask for a cutting there will be no plants left, basically. Some of them are very, very, very difficult to obtain, to propagate, to grow but, yes, there are some people… we have some information to try to discourage people from stealing them or taking cuttings but, unfortunately, it happens.

Jane: Yes, and you’re right, it’s a problem across all gardens that are open to the public. I’m noticing a couple of other plants that I just wanted to mention. I’m loving that, I can never remember what the current Latin name is, the purple Tradescantia up there, coming down, trailing down off the balcony there.

Marta: The old Latin name Tradescantia ‘Purpurea’.

Jane: Has it changed again, I can’t remember now?

Marta: With the botany and the names, it changes constantly and you have to be really quick to keep up with it.

Jane: I think it’s commonly called Purple Heart or something like that but that looks so stunning the way you’ve got it pouring down off that balcony. Is trimming that a challenge?

Marta: Yes, it is a challenge on its own, you can see some of the window boxes have been trimmed, so we try to do it at the same time as the arborist comes, so we get a good clear out in the conservatory and then everything is ready to grow. We don’t trim them every year, we try to keep them trimmed every few years but, yes, it is a challenge, it’s surprisingly a lot of plants. It doesn’t look from the bottom like that but it’s a lot of plants.

Jane: Yes, I’m sure and I’m sure when you lift up that and look at the back of it, I always find with big trailing plants like that, the back is another challenge all together and remove dead leaves.

Marta: It is and sometimes if I go there I think: “How on earth are they growing?” because there’s not a lot of soil that they have in that window box and how on earth are they holding together because you touch them and sometimes they’re quite brittle. I think for that abundance of that they just create that fantastic thing.

Jane: It’s not a green wall, it’s a purple wall, but it’s very lovely. We’ve already heard the robin, do you have other wildlife coming in here?

Marta: We have a black bird as well and they try to sometimes nest in here. We had, on one occasion, a duck, a mallard from the lake below coming in here and happily swimming in our lake but we thought it’s a bit too much and we encouraged them to go their own way. We sometimes get a cheeky squirrel but then again we try to encourage the squirrels to get out because, unfortunately, they will nibble on our plants and they will destroy some of our plants.

Jane: I can imagine. Tell me about this plant, Dioon spinulosum,

Marta: Dioon spinulosum is one of the oldest living plants in the earth, it comes from the dinosaur era.

Jane: It’s so cool.

Marta: This one doesn’t come from… but the family…

Jane: No, obviously, yes, it’s a really ancient plant and it’s got these amazing serrated pinnate leaves on these fronds.

Marta: They are very sharp.

Jane: I bet.

Marta: They are very sharp, they’re very difficult to prune because you have to have long sleeves and things like that. Over the pandemic it flowered.

Jane: Oh wow.

Marta: Males and females are separate flowers, so we found out that he’s a male.

Jane: Okay, you don’t have a female?

Marta: No, we don’t have a female but we have another one but we suspect it’s a male as well, so we do not produce the seeds as such.

Jane: That’s amazing.

Jane: We’ll return to my Barbican visit shortly but now it’s time for Question of the Week which comes from Katja and concerns a trio of Kentia Palms. These quintessential Victorian Palms are quite something and lucky old Katja to have three of them. Katja is considering using Lechuza Pon in the substrate of her Kentia Palms, mixing that in with the regular substrate. Will it work? Well, I very much suspect it will Katja, Howea forsteriana, is a species of Palm that only comes from the tiny speck between Australia and New Zealand that is Lord Howe Island. I dedicated a whole chapter of my forthcoming book Legends of the Leaf to this plant. The speck? Well, basically, the island is made up of an ancient eroded volcano, so you can imagine the soil there is pretty volcanic and free draining. So, I think that adding the Lechuza Pon which, as we know, is a mix that includes lava and pumice would be a really good choice for these Palms.

If you remember back to my Lechuza episode, I’ll stick a link to it in the show notes, there are different ways of using Pon and you don’t have to use pure Pon, you can add it to your mix either using the 25% rule where it’s a drainage level separated from the soil with a drainage barrier. The 50% rule where you’ve got the root ball covered with soil and then you’ve got Pon around that. I think there’s also probably a third option which is you mix in handfuls of Pon with your substrate, when you’re repotting, and it’s spread throughout the mix, I think that would work equally well.

The great thing about this particular Palm is that it’s tough, that’s why it was really popular in the Victorian era and much beloved by Queen Victoria and it can cope with all kinds of abuse, but certainly adding some Pon to the mixture I would imagine is only going to make the plant happier. The reason why it’s happy in our homes is because they’re quite similar to the weather on Lord Howe Island, which I think it’s defined as cool or warm subtropical. So temperatures are 20 to 25 centigrade in the summer and then down to about a minimum of 14 centigrade in the winter, that’s about 57 fahrenheit. So they live in similar conditions in their natural habitat and then, of course, in our homes we can offer them something pretty similar without too much effort. Because of where they live, often quite close to the sea in coastal parts of the island, because basically the whole island is coastal, they’ve evolved to deal with things like drought stress and shading from bigger trees and also salty air as well.

They’re really fascinating plants, Kentias, and should be more widely grown. I can’t wait to bring you loads more fascinating stuff about Kentia Palms in that chapter in the book which features everything from the Tree Lobster of Lord Howe Island to sympatric speciation, which is basically the enigma of the fact that two very similar Palm species had evolved on one very small island. In fact, the reason for that can be explained by the soil. More of that in the book but given that Kentias sit right on a volcanic island, I think a bit of Pon will do them no harm.

Thanks for your question Katja. If you’ve got a question for On The Ledge, please do drop me a line [email protected] and now I’m back in The Barbican Conservatory and we’re heading to the special area reserved for cacti and succulents.

Jane: Where are we Marta?

Marta: So we are, what we call, an Arid house, where we keep all our cacti and succulents. So every cactus is a succulent but not every succulent is a cactus.

Jane: Yes and you’ve also got some orchids in here which are looking very fine and in flower right now. There are so many things in here that I absolutely love. Your Lepismium there is flowering, mine is also flowering, it’s not quite as big as that but you’ve got lots of plants which cactus and succulent lovers will recognise but maybe haven’t seen quite this large, because there are some really big specimens in here. This must be one of the favourite areas for people to visit because they’re just so charismatic these plants, aren’t they?

Marta: Yes, it is, talking to the public lots of people say the arid house is their favourite, unfortunately we had to keep it closed simply due to the restrictions that we just recently had because it’s a quite enclosed and small space. Also, as I said before, there’s lots of precious plants in here, all rare and endangered. They are quite an easy target for people but we try to grow them as much as we can for display hopefully in the future.

Jane: I’m just staring at this massive Crassula with these beefy, beefy stems and trunk. Is it Gollum?

Marta: It is, it’s a Gollum version, so we’ve got three or four different Crassulas, so we’ve got your standard Money Trees here, Crassula ovata that just finished flowering. We’ve got the variegated version, the Hummel’s Sunset version, which is like a yellowy red variegation and also we’ve got the Miner, so a much better for your standard home of that version.

Jane: Yes, because they do get very large. That is, I don’t know, 4 ft or 5 ft tall and it’s just chunky, that is a chunk of a plant, I’m loving it.

Marta: It is, I’m 5’ 6”, so this is bigger than I am, so you can imagine.

Jane: Yes, it is and it’s good to see what these plants turn into, I think that’s one of the things that you’re really getting from that. You’ve got lots of hanging baskets with beautiful Epiphyllums, Rhipsalis, a very impressive Sedum Burro’s Tail. Is it difficult to water these hanging baskets? Have you got special equipment, please tell me you’ve got something?

Marta: You can see there’s a pipe going on top and it’s an irrigation system, so we can just water the hanging baskets, it’s much easier. Everything else in the conservatory is watered by hand with the hoses, so we don’t run around with little watering cans, as people imagine, in dungarees and a watering can.

Jane: Thank goodness!

Marta: We’ve got hoses and we water everything by hand because it’s such a mixed and varied collection, the best computer is our brain, so we can adjust the watering to suit the needs of a day or temperatures and, obviously, to the plant itself.

Jane: How on earth do you avoid getting prickled to death when you’re doing work on some of these really large columnar cacti? Is it a side effect of the job that you end up…?

Marta: It is, you get used to doing it, I think. Very often we try to put on long sleeves but you can imagine in the heights of summer it can be difficult. You sometimes get funny looks on the train or buses from people when you stick a hand out and they’re all scratched, but I think it’s the side effect of the job.

Jane: Apart from in the very hottest days, it must be a delightful place to work? I’m just getting distracted by that huge Pereskia, that’s amazing! I always think of it as the leafy cactus, or Rose Cactus is its common name apparently, but that is just… it looks like something out of a children’s imagination of a cactus. It’s got these huge areoles with these enormous spikes on this quite skinny stem and then the leaves on the top, it’s just an incredible plant. Are there any particular favourites in here of yours, cacti that you particularly love? The non-spiky ones maybe?

Marta: Non-spikey ones. Probably the tiny Peyote, simply because it grows one centimetre a year in a good condition, so you can imagine how endangered they are if they grow so slow. Other than that, they are so lovely and they have so many shapes and forms and it’s so difficult to pinpoint every single one. You look on the massive Echinocactus grusonii, Mother-in-law’s chair, you can imagine why they called that.

Jane: I think mother-in-laws get a really bad rap from plants, don’t they?

Marta: They do and I don’t understand that but lots of plants have some strange connotations to mother-in-laws. To all mother-in-laws, I don’t believe it’s true.

Jane: I guess the other name is Golden Barrel Cactus, they do look like barrels, yours are just enormous. I’ve got a tiny one of those and you do have to remember that’s what it’s going to turn into eventually, they are enormous.

Marta: It does, lots of those cacti were donated to us by cactus collectors over the years, simply because their collections were too big and they couldn’t care for them. So they wanted for them to grow somewhere they would be looked after and, hopefully, we do them justice.

Jane: Yes, it’s a lovely space to have filled with cacti and I’m sure it’s glass everywhere, so the cacti are happy, they’ve got plenty of light in here. We didn’t really talk about whether you have enough of plants at work or whether you have plants at home, do you?

Marta: I do have plants at home.

Jane: You’re a glutton for punishment!

Marta: Yes, I do have lots of houseplants, I live in a flat. I don’t have a balcony or a garden and so I do have a lot of houseplants at home. The only thing is with my houseplant is once you water this or you do all the jobs in here, you tend to choose your houseplants wisely, the ones that don’t need a lot of attention or they are relatively easy going. You can forget about watering from time to time and they will still be lush and beautiful.

Jane: So what are your choices then, let us into your secrets?

Marta: So they will be orchids, basically, I’m a little bit of a person who buys the saddest plant on the shelf, the discarded ones: “Oh, I will rescue you,” and all that stuff. Your Pileas, Peperomias, your standard houseplants, even your Ficus elastica will do without any watering. So if you’re worried about your houseplants going on holidays, I can guarantee you if you water them properly, once a week after a week’s holiday they will be absolutely fine. I’ve got some of the Caudex plants, so quite a few of them. My son started to collect some cacti and I’m dreading that for the passion to explode. I’ve got… I counted around 60 of them at home.

Jane: Okay, well it’s obviously not enough time spent with plants. It’s great, you’re obviously passionate doing it at home and at work, so that must be a big tick. Well, it’s absolutely glorious in here. I could just spend all day just staring at the plants in here and enjoying them because there are some wonderful things. I just keep thinking of the logistics for you of dealing with some of these huge Epiphyllums and Rhipsalis and I just salute you because it must be a real battle sometimes, repotting some of these hanging baskets.

Marta: Yes, we are actually bracing ourselves for the repotting season. You can see some of the Epiphyllums already have some flowers on them, so we let them flower this year and usually they flower around May time. So every single Epiphyllum is covered by these fantastic massive flowers, I’m talking the palm of your hand. Lots of vivid colours and once they start to fade we will repot them because we have some cuttings that we’ve propagated.

Jane: I’m just seeing some buds up on that one, this one right above us there’s some buds coming.

Marta: They won’t be thrown away though, we’ve moved probably to one of our levels in the good spots but they will need to be refreshed because some of them will get woody and tired over the years.

Jane: It’s an interesting thing coming in here when you see these much more mature plants. We’re used to seeing a teeny little tiny cactus or whatever and then when it starts to get some corking or some woodiness people panic and you have to say: “Well that’s actually completely normal, this is what happens as they get bigger,” they don’t stay pure green and this is a perfect example of how they change as they age.

Marta: Yes, so the corkiness as you said, or woodiness, it’s two factors, sometimes due to the conditions that they grow in, so if it’s too moist they will protect themselves by producing those colours or corkiness. Over the years the stem, as you said, gets more woody and woody and that’s how they will be in your natural habitats, you will travel to Canary Islands, Mexico, South Africa, you see them and they will be like that. Only the tops will be nice and fresh and green. I get asked sometimes: “Oh there’s some dead leaves, the plants have not all their leaves removed and it’s not perfectly manicured,” yes, because they are living objects, living plants, they’re not like that in nature. We get used to seeing them in more artificial environments, where the Palms don’t have their scales of dead leaves, they’re just all manicured in the hotels or rows of streets but nature is completely different.

Jane: Yes, exactly and I think if the plant gets to a good age then it’s got a few marks to show it.

Marta: Yes, they age just like we age, we show our marks, plants show their marks that shows how they basically go through their life.

Jane: Well, thank you so much for showing me this lovely space and I’m just going to be in here taking some deep breaths and taking some photos now. Thank you so much.

Marta: You’re welcome.

Where to go to the sea in April and May – Republic of Tatarstan

We tell you where to bring a beautiful sea tan and photos of sunsets in the spring

March 28, 2019

7 minutes to read

Not everyone manages to get a vacation in the summer. But if you have a couple of weeks off work in April or May, this chance should be used! At this time, in many resorts it is already possible to swim. In Russia, of course, even on the Black Sea coast, the water warms up only by the end of May. But abroad there are many countries where in April you can have a great time on the beach.

April and May are still a relatively low tourist season: at this time you can find cheaper accommodation and fewer people on the coast. By May, prices begin to rise, the flow of tourists increases, but the beaches are still not crowded. We’ll show you where to go.

Israel

In Israel, the beach season opens in April, and it is better to pay attention to the Red Sea resorts, especially Eilat. In April, the water temperature here reaches +23 °C, while in the Mediterranean Israeli resorts it rarely rises above +18 °C. By May, the Mediterranean coast becomes warmer.

Eilat is famous for its coral reefs, which attract divers from all over the world. Not far from the city is the Timna Valley. A huge park has been created in it, in which historical sights coexist with natural ones.

A direct flight from Moscow to Eilat takes approximately 4 hours.

Thailand

Thailand is perfect for an April vacation. The water is warm, up to +29 °C, and the hot and humid rainy season has not yet begun – it will come in May. The most famous resorts of this country are Pattaya, Koh Samui and Phuket. Beach holidays are well developed here – you can swim and sunbathe, scuba dive or rent a boat for a boat trip.

You can also find activities outside the beach. Someone will be interested in the vibrant nightlife of Bangkok, someone will prefer shopping in modern shopping centers and exotic oriental bazaars, and someone will be attracted by excursions to ancient temples and palaces or to natural parks.

A direct flight from Moscow to Phuket lasts approximately 9 hours.

The “Unlimited Internet Abroad” service from Tele2 will help you stay in touch in instant messengers and social networks at your favorite seaside resorts.

Connect for free – pay only when you use the Internet while traveling.

Canary Islands

In the Canary Islands in April the water warms up to +18-19 °C. In principle, you can already swim. But in May it gets warmer, and most tourists try to visit Tenerife, Gran Canaria and other islands of the archipelago this month.

This is a great place for swimming, windsurfing, diving and sea fishing. However, it should be borne in mind that the island of the island of strife. For example, the most popular – Tenerife – is famous for its beaches, there are many tourists here. Puerto de la Cruz is quieter and calmer, but the coast is rocky, and it is better to swim in the pool next to the hotel. If you wish, you can organize a rich leisure program for yourself – from bars and discos to climbing to the top of the Teide volcano.

It takes about 7 hours to get from Moscow to Tenerife by plane.

Hainan Island (China)

Hainan is perhaps the most popular Chinese resort. It is located south of mainland China and has a subequatorial climate. There are more than 300 sunny days a year, and the water warms up to +28 °C by the beginning of April. In May, the water can be even warmer, but the air temperature also rises, and not everyone can tolerate the heat well.

The main resorts on the island are Sanya and Haikou. Here you can just swim, or you can go diving or sea fishing. On the island of Hainan there is a huge Nanshan Buddhist culture park, Bethel-Nat ethnic park, where tourists get acquainted with the culture of the local Li and Miao peoples, as well as many other attractions.

From Moscow to Hainan Island can only be reached with a transfer: the flight will take from 14 to 28 hours.

Cuba

Due to the peculiarities of the Cuban climate, there is neither autumn nor spring on the island – only winter and summer. April is the last month before the onset of the hot, humid season, and many tourists prefer to come to Cuba in April. The water on the coast near Havana, Varadero and Santiago de Cuba warms up at this time to + 25-27 ° C.

The wind intensifies closer to the onset of May, which cannot but please fans of surfing and paragliding. Beach holidays can be interspersed with acquaintance with numerous architectural sights and visits to national parks, for example, the famous Sierra Maestra Park.

From Moscow to Cuba you can fly without transfers in about 12-13 hours.

Morocco

Morocco is a country located in northwestern Africa. The beach season here begins in June, but if you are interested not so much in swimming as kiting, windsurfing and other similar activities, pay attention to Dakhla. The city is located on a narrow peninsula, forming a long narrow bay, well protected from ocean waves.

The water temperature in the bay in April-May usually does not rise above +19°C, but there is a good even wind here, which attracts those who are fond of water sports. The main attractions of Dakhla are the fortress and the cathedral, built by the Spanish colonists who founded this city in the 16th century.

A direct flight from Moscow to Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, takes approximately 6.5 hours.

A cool vacation by the sea can be organized not only in summer. Discover new vacation destinations and start sharing your impressions on social networks before others – “Unlimited Internet Abroad” will help you.

Tours to Spain from Almaty

It is impossible not to fall passionately in love with this country, because it is the motherland and cradle of passion. Almost everything is saturated with this feeling here: from the center, where the sun heats the air and earth so much that it seems that passion itself burns the heart of the country, to the outskirts and coasts, where the passion for life overshadows all other feelings. She awakened a craving for painting in Dali and Picasso … A country where passion lives in every word spoken, written or sung in the language of Cervantes. The personification of this passion are such people as Montserrat Caballe, Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias, Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem, Iker Casillas, Rafael Nadal … And this is not a complete list! Here it is no longer necessary to reveal the secrets of the Madrid court in order to guess that we are talking about Spain.

GEOGRAPHY:

Spain is a state in southwestern Europe. It occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula and is a bridge between two continents, Europe and Africa, and a barrier separating the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. By land, the country has borders with France, Portugal, Andorra and the English colony of Gibraltar.

Spain occupies 85% of the area of ​​the Iberian Peninsula. Having a large extent, the territory of Spain is divided into several climatic zones: the mild temperate north, subject to the warm influence of the Atlantic; southeast with a pronounced Mediterranean rather dry climate; sharply continental central plateau part; uniquely smooth warm and comfortable in the Canary Islands. Spain is the warmest country on the European continent, with the maximum number of sunny days per year. This is largely due to the mountainous terrain of the peninsula: the central plateau of the Mesete is bounded on all sides by the mountain ranges of the Pyrenees, Cantabrians, and Iberians. The only low-lying valley in the south of the country is the Andalusian.

Capital: Madrid

Climate: Due to the length of Spain from north to south and the extensive mountain system, the climate differs quite noticeably in different parts of the country. The climate is Mediterranean, dry and quite hot. When is the best time to go on holiday to Spain? Statistics show that the period from April to October is a priority for travelers. The hottest months are July and August, and the most capricious and rainy are September and October.

Visa: A visa is required for citizens of Kazakhstan to enter Spain. Spain is part of the Schengen area. Documents are submitted to the embassy no earlier than 3 months before departure.

Cities and resorts:

Barcelona – the capital of Catalonia has been attracting both tourists and residents of other countries for many years, eager to move to the second largest city in Spain.

The atmosphere of Barcelona is one of slowness, relaxation, hedonism and openness. That is why, once in the city, you can finally take a break from the eternal stress and rush and learn to truly enjoy every day.

Madrid is the sparkling, brilliant and hot capital of the Kingdom.

Costa Brava – the coast of the province of Girona. Many stone masses protrude into the sea, like giants guarding their possessions. Cliffs and pine trees on the rocks are combined with calm bays and long sandy beaches. Many examples of Romanesque and medieval art have been preserved here. The Costa Brava is a real “paradise on earth”

Islands

Holidays on the Spanish islands are always associated with prosperity, and the names spoken aloud (Canaries, Mallorca or Ibiza) make a good half of the population of our country a little jealous. All these names refer to two Spanish archipelagos – the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands

Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands, and in particular Mallorca and Ibiza, are known to the whole world.

Ibiza — Surprisingly, Spain has perhaps the only club district in the world. This is the well-known Balearic Island – Ibiza. An island that lives around the clock according to its own special rules, the main of which is no rules. Fifty beaches are mixed with a variety of clubs, among which the most famous is Pacha.

Mallorca — is a truly heavenly place where you can enjoy the picturesque scenery, clean beaches and forget about all everyday problems. The capital is Palma de Mallorca. It is here that all the main attractions of the island are concentrated

Canary Islands – beach holidays

• Tenerife should be chosen by lovers of a comfortable and fairly active holiday;
• Gran Canaria – for more privacy and tranquility;
• Fuerteventura is a surfer’s paradise;
• La Gomera – National Park with relict vegetation;
• Lanzarote – biosphere reserve of volcanic activity.

Great stay in Tenerife

We are extremely pleased with the rest! But the hotel is about 3.5 points out of 5)

One of the minuses is a little poor food. For 11 days, the chicken for dinner was only 3 (!) Times) For the first time I see this in principle. Were in a three-ruble note in Spain (Salou), and there the food was better at times.

Ordinary hotel

The most ordinary hotel. The rooms are small but clean. Lucky with a view of the pool and the sea. If you rest only on the territory of the hotel, then of course it is rustic. We are outdoor enthusiasts, so basically we only spent the night, or jumped into the pool after the beach and changed clothes. So we had enough of everything. The food is ordinary, ate mostly in cafes.

For an acceptable price

We had a family vacation in October this year. We were settled pretty quickly, given the fact that they have a check-in time from 14-00. We checked in an hour earlier, because our room was apparently ready and cleaned. According to the room no complaints, spacious. Large balcony. There is no air conditioning in the room, I thought it would be hot. But since we were in the room for a day very little, after breakfast we immediately left and…

Mediocre rubbish.

Rested with her husband at the hotel in September. The hotel was disappointing, according to the reviews we expected more … We were lucky with the size of the room, we got a 2-room apartment, we ordered the usual standard and that’s probably all that pleased us. You need to come to the restaurant at the opening, then, although there is not a big choice, there is food, 40 minutes after the opening you will see empty trays, you will sit and wait for something to be taken out or eat …

Good hotel

Liked the hotel. The area is not big with a small pool. The staff is friendly and always willing to help with questions. Of the minuses, we can say that there is no air conditioning in the room, but a chandelier with a fan dangles and there is no sense from it at all. There is practically no parking. In a small check-in, there were 10 cars, so it was problematic to park a car.

I am writing a review to cover the previous one, in which the hotel is called modest with poor soundproofing. I do not agree. Wonderful hotel, I don’t care 3 * or 4 *. Yes, we arrived at 10 am, placed after 2 pm, there are certain rules. The room was on the 4th floor, though a corner one, but it was even for the best, there was no direct sun.

Lovely quiet hotel with nice staff. Almost all rooms have ocean views. Tenerife won my heart!
Half of the vacation explored the island by renting a car. Rental prices are very affordable, gasoline is affordable by European standards.
Of the shortcomings, except that the food is tasteless. Everything else is great.
If you are confused by the abundance of pensioners and peace, then you should not consider this hotel.

Small hotel for a modest stay

The rooms are small, the audibility is strong: the neighbors fart – you can hear it.
An unpleasant situation with water: coolers are only in the bar and restaurant (the opening hours of which are limited), a crossed-out bottle is drawn on the coolers – you can’t draw water, but with glasses, sorry, you can’t bring as much as you need. I had to buy two-liter bottles in the store, but I had food according to the system …

I do not advise!!! Less than 3!

after reading positive reviews about this hotel, we went and thought we were going to a great hotel. What was my disappointment when we arrived at the place! It all started with the fact that they settled us within 7 hours, and this is all after an 8-hour flight. Such a delay was due to the fact that people leave the rooms and clean them! But!! But!!but!!

I had a rest in April 2016 for 10 days. The hotel is European 3-ka, I liked everything.
As for everyday life: in 10 days the linen was changed only once, but this is not a problem for me. Tipping is actually not taken, which was surprising. They have common tip boxes in public places. Tenerife and the ocean are just fantastic.
If someone is interested, there was no hair dryer in the room, they used their own, but after 2-3 …

Second time in Tenerife, before that (two years ago) we stayed at the Stil Los Gigantes 4* hotel (now called Sensimar Los Gigantes). I did not think that there could be such an abyss between the 3rd and 4th.
ACCOMMODATION. To begin with, the hotel cannot pre-book a room with a sea view, everything is on an equal footing. Therefore, there is a chance that you will get a room on the first floor by the pool, past . ..

We rested with two children: 10 years old and 2 years old, there were 10 days (breakfast, dinner). We were given a room on the second floor of the hotel. The view was of the pool and the ocean, which was very good for us. The room is large, two rooms, an entrance hall, a toilet, a bath, a large balcony (there are dryers on the balconies).

The hotel is just awful.

If you want to have a good rest – choose another hotel. Problems in the hotel begin from the moment you check in. You need to ask for anything at the reception at least 2 times. I understand that this is three stars, but the lack of air conditioning and refrigerators in the rooms is something. The restaurant is also not pleased with the abundance of the menu. In general, this hotel does not pull on its top three.

A hotel suitable for relaxation

We rested at the hotel in April 2016 (arrival on April 1). We arrived early in the morning, but we were not settled until 15:00. We walked around the town and had lunch. The room got a good one, a corner room overlooking the ocean and, perhaps, the largest balcony in the building. On the balcony there are 2 sun loungers and a table with chairs. There is a clothes dryer, but due to the strong wind I recommend stocking up on clothespins.

Where is hot in April 2023 – and cheap

 By Mark Hodson, Sunday Times Travel Writer

---

Q.  Where is hot in April?

---

A. 
April is the start of the tourist season in the Mediterranean (22-24ºC) and a wonderful time to visit as resorts begin to open up. It’s a great month to be in the Arabian Gulf (33ºC) before the summer heat becomes oppressive. After Easter, you’ll find good value in the Caribbean (30ºC).

---

April is a cheap time of year to travel to get away for some spring sunshine. Conditions in the Mediterranean are wonderful, with warm temperatures and bright sunshine. Further afield, the weather in the Caribbean enjoys temperatures around 30°C and 8 or 9 hours of average daily sunshine.

* Did you know you can save up to 40% on holiday prices? See our latest travel deals and enter your email address below to get updates every fortnight.

If you’re travelling solo, see our pick of the best singles holidays in April.

Cyprus

Average temperature in April: 24ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 9
Flying time from UK: 4 hours 30 minutes

You can find warm weather in April across the Mediterranean although nights tend to be a little chilly, and the sea will be cool for swimming. For the hottest weather, your best bet is to head to the more southerly Mediterranean destinations such as Cyprus which has great hotels and plenty of flights from across the UK. To escape the busy resorts and enjoy the beauty of the countryside, rent one of these villas in Cyprus.

Also consider: the Greek island of Crete which is also very southerly and is warm in April. See the latest offers on boutique accommodation from i-escape.

Malta and Gozo

Average temperature in April: 22ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 8
Flying time from UK: 3 hours

If you want somewhere sunny, warm and packed with historical sites, try Malta. It has a great climate in April along with its sister island, Gozo. To reach Gozo you take a short ferry ride from Malta – there’s no airport and that’s part of the island’s charm as it’s much quieter and slower-paced. See the latest special offers.

Also consider: the Greek island of Paxos. It also doesn’t have an airport – most visitors fly into neighbouring Corfu and transfer by ferry. Our researchers found these are the best villas.

Sardinia

Average temperature in April: 21ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 7
Flying time from UK: 2 hours 40 minutes

For a quiet sunny destination in April, head to the (surprisingly large) Italian island of Sardinia. As the Italians all take their holidays at the same time in August, it’s almost deserted at this time of year, but the weather is gorgeous. Stay at the fabulous Forte Village Resort which has a superb beach, spa, choice of hotels and restaurants and amazing sports facilities. Rent a car because this is a great island to explore. Find where’s hot in Italy in April.

Also consider: the three hotels of the MarBella Collection in mainland Greece and on the island of Corfu. See more about hottest islands in Greece in April.

Seville

Average temperature in April: 25ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 8
Flying time from UK: 2 hours 45 minutes

Close to the Costa de la Luz, Seville is Spain’s hottest city (it’s pretty much unbearable in August but wonderful in April) and it’s a fantastic place for a quick getaway. The home of tapas and flamenco, it’s packed with historical sites, authentic bars and restaurants and charming squares lined with orange trees. If you go in Semana Santa, the week leading up to Easter, you’ll witness dramatic street celebrations. See where’s hot in Spain in April.

Also consider: Dubrovnik in Croatia, Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast of Italy and Palma, the stylish capital of Mallorca. The Easter celebrations in Florence are particularly atmospheric.

Marrakech

Average temperature in April: 25ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 9
Flying time from UK: 3 hours

Getting to Morocco is easy and cheap with lots of flights to Marrakech where you can laze in the sun, explore the narrow winding streets of the souk, drink fresh orange juice on rooftop bars and dine in fabulous French and Moroccan restaurants. Try to stay in one of the stunning converted riads in the medina.

Also consider: the Algarve where it’s 20ºC with 8 hours of daily sun. Perfect weather for a fly-drive. You can explore the beautiful coast and countryside away from the resorts and stay in some of these historic pousadas which won top marks from our research team.

If you want something more adventurous, Jordan is perfect in April: 23ºC and 10 hours of daily sunshine, and only five hours flying time. This 8-day Splendours of Jordan tour includes the rock-carved city of Petra, the Dead Sea, ancient Jerash and the deserts and dunes of Wadi Rum.

• • Sri Lanka

• Average temperature in April: 32ºC
  Hours of daily sunshine: 8
  Flying time from UK: 10 hours 30 minutes
• Sri Lanka is great to explore at this time of year. It’s an amazing, friendly country with pristine beaches, so it makes sense to spend a week or so exploring – get a private car and driver, which is not expensive – and then kick back on the beach. These unique holiday experiences include spotting Blue Whales and staying at remote eco resorts.
  

  Dubai

Average temperature in April: 33ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 10
Flying time from UK: 7 hours

If you want somewhere a bit warmer, the Arabian Gulf will be around 33°C in April with 10 hours of sunshine – a little too warm for vigorous sightseeing but perfect if you’re staying in a luxurious hotel. Dubai is the best known destination but you can combine it with the beautiful Sultanate of Oman for a taste of old Arabia. See the latest offers.

Also consider: neighbouring Abu Dhabi which is rapidly becoming a rival to Dubai, but with a tad more culture, and Qatar which combines world-class luxury hotels with thrilling activities from dune bashing to sky diving.

The Gambia

Average temperature in April: 33ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 10
Flying time from UK: 6 hours

It’s six hours flying time to The Gambia on the West Coast of Africa where you’ll find friendly English-speaking people, a coastline of sandy beaches, wildlife and interesting excursions. Weather is superb: 10 hours of daily sun and temperatures of 33ºC. The resorts are cheap: food, drink, travel are all inexpensive. See deals in April.

Also consider: the Cape Verde islands which lie midway between Africa and Brazil – both geographically and culturally. Also a six-hour direct flight from the UK.

Barbados

Average temperature in April: 33ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 9
Flying time from UK: 9 hours

The Caribbean is perfect for April holidays: great weather is pretty much guaranteed. Easter is popular with families – and prices reflect that – but if you avoid the school holidays you are in low season, and you should find some great deals. Barbados has a superb choice of hotels and lots of direct flights. We particularly recommend Sandals Resorts which has two superb all-inclusive resorts on a pristine beach. See more details on Caribbean weather in April and find the hottest Caribbean islands.

Also consider: the Cayman Islands which have great hotels and superb snorkeling and diving.

Maldives

Average temperature in April: 32ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 8
Flying time from UK: 10 hours

The paradise islands of the Maldives are at their best in April with temperatures of 32°C and lots of guaranteed sunshine. Each beachfront hotel is on its own private island, so you’ll instantly feel pampered and secluded.

Also consider: the Seychelles for a purely desert island experience. Mauritius usually gets a little rain in April but temperatures still hold around 28°C. It’s a popular choice for a honeymoon.

Ko Samui

Average temperature in April: 32ºC
Hours of daily sunshine: 8
Flying time from UK: 14 hours via Bangkok

In Thailand, both Koh Samui (32°C; 8 hours of sunshine) and Phuket (33°C; 8 hours of sunshine) are great in April. If you want to do more than just lie on a beach in Thailand, I recommend Experience Travel Group which can put together thrilling private tours of jungle, temples and Thai food. .

Also consider: Vietnam, where the beach resort of Nha Trang enjoys temperatures of 32°C.

Wondering where is hot in April? From New Orleans to St Barth’s, these are the best places to soak up the rays in spring

By Laura Chubb

4 October 2019

Spring is in full bloom, but so too are April showers, dampening Easter plans and keeping UK temperatures cool. Elsewhere in Europe, though, the mercury is steadily rising, making it a pleasantly off-peak time to take a classic city break, or explore a chic Mediterranean island without the crowds. Prefer buzz to solitude? Hit up street-shaking carnivals everywhere from South America to the Deep South. Now’s a fine time to find bargains on castaway islands, or maybe take that big trip Down Under, where warm autumn temperatures are forgiving enough for beach breaks, urban exploring and adventures in the wild.

  ROME, ITALY

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 19℃

  You’ve done Rome, so now for the greater luxury: doing it as the Romans do. Temperate April is a fine time to explore the city as the locals see it, rather than as it’s visited: no dashing from sight to sight, madly ticking boxes, but rather making the most of the walking weather to wander, wonder and get gloriously lost. Around six miles from the Eternal City’s centre, Centocelle is a happening suburb steeped in contemporary Italian cool. Natural wine bar Menabó is a tough reservation to snag, but worth it for roasted octopus and grassy Grechetto. Even in Rome’s more crowded corners, there are delicious secrets hiding in plain sight. On Piazza di Spagna, find metaphysical painter Giorgio De Chirico’s apartment just as he left it in the late 1970s, with cluttered studio and a brilliant arrangement of his canvases and sketches. Our new favourite home base: close to Palazzo Borghese is Hotel Vilòn, a mansion-turned-boutique-hotel on a blink-and-miss-it cobblestoned street.

  CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 31℃

  Easter in Colombia is the year’s biggest, most essential celebration, and it swells Cartagena’s streets with feasts and parades. Holy Week – leading up to Easter Sunday – is not the time to visit if you’re crowd-phobic, but to see this sultry city at its most festive, it can’t be beat. Temperatures here are steamy year-round, and the old town has long lost its best-kept-secret tag, so you might as well lean into the heat and the hordes. Plus, it’s still very romantic, with its corn-yellow colonial mansions, flower-filled balconies, clip-clopping horse-drawn carriages and palm-dotted squares. Stir in generous measures of rum cocktails and salsa music, and you’ve got yourself a hell of a holiday, even if it’s not exactly subdued. Stay at Casa San Agustin, the best boutique hotel within the old city walls, so you can take restorative breaks on its sun-drenched rooftop and in its L-shaped pool.

  SANTORINI, GREECE

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 19℃

  Santorini isn’t the A-lister’s Greek island because of its beaches, many of which are imperfect black-sand or pebble numbers. Nor is it for privacy, given that 15,000 locals share their home with around two million visitors each year. No, Santorini is the darling of fashion photographers, romantics, influencers and bon vivants because it is, quite simply, the Med’s most stunning sight. An inhabited caldera, its chalk-white villages and sea-view suites teeter on steep lava cliffs, skirting an interior of bewitching Aegean blue. The sunsets are so pinch-me perfect, advancing dusk sees Santorini’s hairpin roads clogged with buses, all agitating to catch that peerless shot. Behold the revelation, then, that is April: restaurants and bars newly flung open after a stormy winter, hotel rates pleasingly discounted. It might not be quite sunbathing weather yet, but it is vineyard weather and slurping oysters-in-your-seaside-cabana weather and cocktails-on-your-roof-terrace weather.

  CAPRI, ITALY

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 20℃

  April is when Capri springs to life again, with enough sunny days to warrant packing a beach bag (though only hardened wild swimmers would dare a dip in the sea). Mid-month, beach clubs start opening up for the season, but there’s plenty to do before the party people dock. Take the chair lift to Monte Solaro for a heart-swelling panorama over the Gulf of Naples; hire a gozzo fishing boat and explore Capri’s hidden coves and grottoes; go window-shopping for chic villas spilling bougainvillaea; wander the island’s decidedly upmarket, curving streets. And for every see-and-be-seen restaurant and seaside bar, there’s a genuine gem. Da Paolino, with tables set between rows of fragrant trees in a lemon grove, is a favourite with designer Nicky Zimmermann – find more A-list Capri tips here.

  BAZARUTO ARCHIPELAGO, MOZAMBIQUE

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 25℃

  In the 1950s the Bazaruto archipelago, a string of six, immaculate islands off the sleepy shores of mainland Mozambique’s Vilankulo, had a certain reputation. Particularly the Santa Carolina hotel, on one of the smaller islands, where a colourful mix of the rich, renegade and rock ’n’ roll would land on its private airstrip, primed for clandestine revelry (it’s said Bob Dylan composed his song ‘Mozambique’ on the hotel’s baby grand). Decades of civil war spoiled the party, but today Bazaruto is quietly making a comeback, thanks to the splendour of its wild, dune-backed beaches, left for the longest time to themselves. Santa Carolina now lies in ruins, but on the island of Benguerra AndBeyond has a bush camp-style hideaway with private plunge pools and cocktails served from a traditional sea-going dhow. On Bazaruto, the largest island, Anantara has a scattering of thatched beach villas and its signature spa. And authentic island life isn’t just for visitors. Bazaruto, in particular, offers a rich, living tapestry of vibrant villages, waving schoolchildren, freshwater lakes, savannah grassland and mangrove swamps.

  MAURITIUS

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 27℃

  One of the great pleasures of Mauritius is the culture: a real world of hot curries, temples and tea plantations outside the hotels. And now, one white-sand beach retreat aims to bring these disparate spheres together. SALT of Palmar – an east-coast eco hotel complete with organic food, e-bikes and hip rooftop bar – encourages guests to take part in its Skill Swap programme, matching them to islanders with similar passions so they might bond over regionally nuanced takes on shared skills. Artists might meet local painters and craft cocktail-makers could match with Mauritian mixologists – such as Denis Aristide, a taro farmer who also steers the hotel bar and favours ingredients including ylang ylang essence sourced from a local boutique estate. With cyclone season ending in March and May ushering in winter, April might just be the best time to get to know Mauritius.

  NEW ORLEANS, USA

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 26℃

  New Orleans is so much more than the French Quarter, but it’d be daft to come here in April and miss the Easter parades. As flamboyant as Mardi Gras, if somewhat less raucous, several separate processions march their floats and Sunday-best bonnets through the famous neighbourhood, including a truly fabulous Gay Easter Parade. Meanwhile, more contemporary offerings are leaping from strength to strength here: most recently, one of our new favourite hotels in the world, Peter & Paul . A converted Catholic church and convent in Marigny – the French Quarter’s equally jazz-club-packed, but more boho-artsy, neighbour – it’s a masterclass in design, and the service is trѐs bien. The weather might suit sunny wanders among Garden District antebellum mansions, but save some time for hipster Bywater: Bacchanal’s fairy-lit wine patio is a must.

  PERTH, AUSTRALIA

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 25℃

  Long out on a limb – Perth is bunched into the corner of Western Australia, separated from the rest of the country by vast swathes of punishing outback terrain – the riverside state capital is now, for the first time, reachable by direct flight. Qantas must’ve clocked the new cultural cachet that’s lately made Australia’s most isolated city a proper rival to capital-in-all-but-name Sydney and cool-kid Melbourne, launching a non-stop from Heathrow in 2019. But you don’t travel 17 hours just for a sunny city break – though Perth is certainly that (it’s palpably pulsing with new energy: slick restaurants showing off Swan River views; blockbuster galleries and street murals; the spanking-new Ritz-Carlton Perth). Wider WA, though, possesses a wilder allure. Ningaloo Reef is just as jaw-to-the-floor ravishing as the Great Barrier, and with far fewer visitors; the Kimberley’s immense gorges and bizarre natural rock sculptures (see: the Bungle Bungles) [https://www. cntraveller.com/gallery/kimberley-australia] are about as humbling as landscapes get. Oh, and the beaches. Everything about WA is hot.

  SRI LANKA

  Sri Lanka’s ‘it destination’ status stuttered abruptly in April 2019, when a series of terror attacks on Easter Sunday plunged the nation into mourning and forced travel warnings advising tourists to steer clear. The impact has been catastrophic for an island that had increasingly come to depend on tourism: so much so, the government quickly announced cuts to fees it charges airlines, hoping cheaper flights would bring people back. The good news: travel warnings have since been downgraded, and visiting will genuinely help out a country that’s struggling to recover. Plus, it’s a great time to visit major sights, such as Kandy’s Temple of the Tooth and Sigiriya Rock. Without crowds prices are favourable, and April is one of Sri Lanka’s best months with beaches basking in sunshine and little rainfall inland. Better still, there are more gloriously barefoot-hip places to stay than ever – find our favourites here.

  ST BARTH’S, CARIBBEAN

  AVERAGE APRIL TEMP: 29℃

  The Caribbean’s chicest island is back in business, after twin hurricanes Irma and Maria wreaked havoc in the region in 2017. And April is the sweet spot for lapping up its revamped boutique suites and beach clubs, with the winter crowds gone and storm season safely some time away (typically kicking in around July). Two of our favourites, secluded Hotel Le Toiny and Villa Marie Saint-Barth (sister to the glamorous Villa Marie Saint-Tropez), were hit hard by the hurricanes, but have come back better than ever. The former, hidden away on St Barth’s rugged south-east side, has relaunched its beach club, with seafront pool, sunbeds and no end of chilled rosé; the hotel, all whites and creams and petrified wood, has also added eight new rooms, with pools and ocean-view terraces. At the island’s opposite end, Villa Marie – whitewashed, shuttered, with dangling bamboo egg chairs – has been fully restored and now offers two brand-new villas.

9 Wonderfully Warm Places To Visit In April

The first few months of the year can be brutal. You’ve made it through the holidays, you’ve filed your taxes, and you’re planning out the rest of your year — it’s a stressful time, and sometimes you need a vacation to get your bearings.

You’ll want to go someplace warm, and you’ll want plenty of activities to add to your itinerary. You’ve got a pretty good idea of what you want from a vacation, but no particular destination in mind. If that sounds familiar, we’ve got a few suggestions.

Here are some ideal spots for an April vacation, along with insider tips for making the most of your visit.

1. Palm Springs, California

Palm Springs isn’t the first town most people consider when planning a Californian vacation, but that’s part of the allure. This mid-century modern town is hip, chic, and consistently sunny with clear skies and minimal rain (hey, it’s in a desert). When visiting in April, you’ll get plenty of sun without the full-force summer temperatures.

The city center is active, with plenty of boutique shops and restaurants to explore. Check out the Indian Wells Arts Festival, which typically takes place in the first week of April, or stroll the Artwalk at the Backstreet Art District on the first Wednesday of the month. If you love the great outdoors, Indian Canyons offers wonderful trails, some of which are accessible on horseback.

The downside? April is the peak season for desert tourism, for obvious reasons. Still, Palm Springs isn’t a beach town, so tourist traffic shouldn’t be a huge issue (we’ll note here that Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach are only a few hours away if you’re up for a day trip). If you’re able to book early, you’ll have your choice of boutique hotels or vacation homes to rent as accommodations.

2. Tokyo, Japan

The weather in Tokyo is typically moderate in April, with averages in the 60- to 70-degree range. Granted, you might encounter some rain, but you’ll still be able to stay comfortable while exploring the streets of Japan’s capital.

Here’s the real reason why Tokyo makes this list: In April, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Take a stroll through Yoyogi Park or a moonlit boat ride down the Sumida River to see why the fragile sakura blossoms are the national flower of Japan. Cherry blossom trees are common throughout the city, but when you’re surrounded by dozens of them, it’s difficult not to feel a sense of awe and reverence.

Travel to Tokyo in April, and you can go to a baseball game (as we’ve covered, it’s a completely different experience from an American game), explore the open-air fish markets, and dine at some of the world’s finest restaurants. Tokyo is home to more Michelin-starred establishments than any other city, so if you’re a foodie, you’ll be in Heaven.

3. Washington, D.C.

If you’re looking for a cultural trip with plenty of historical relevance, you can’t do much better than Washington, D.C. Our nation’s capital is delightful in April, as thousands of cherry trees come into full bloom; the city even holds a celebratory festival, which is delightful for tourists and a great way to enjoy the cherry blossoms if you’re not quite ready for a trip to Japan.

You’ve probably got a decent idea of the capital’s many landmarks, so we won’t go into them here — but if you think that the only way to see the city is to stand in line at the museums, think again. Why not take a guided night tour, a ghost tour, or a Segway tour, or take in a meal at upscale eatery Elle (the pastrami is unbelievable, but there are plenty of vegetarian options on the menu)?

4. Honolulu, Hawaii

When choosing your springtime tropical getaway, don’t forget about the island of Oahu. With the winter rainy season long past, April means sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. Spring months are also considered the off-season for Hawaiian tourism, which means fewer people on the beaches and cheaper rates for accommodations in Honolulu.

April water temperatures are a warm 76 degrees on average, so snorkeling, swimming, and other water-related activities will be perfectly pleasant. You’d be forgiven for spending all of your time on the beach, but for a more active vacation, hike to Diamond Head State Monument or Maunawili Falls. The Honolulu Museum of Art is a great respite from the outdoors when you’ve had enough of Oahu’s perfect weather (if that ever happens).

5. Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston is a beach town full of Southern charm, but it’s painfully hot during the summer months. Beat the sweltering temperatures by planning a visit for April, when the high temperatures range from 71 to 77 degrees.

Milder temperatures aren’t the city’s only springtime draw. The magnolia trees begin blooming in mid-March, creating an exuberant display through April. The city celebrates this horticultural marvel with a monthlong home and garden event; purchase a ticket, and you can walk through some of the area’s most beautiful historic houses and private gardens, then partake in concerts and other events that showcase Southern traditions.

Charleston offers a significant number of museums and historic sites, along with beautiful parks, fantastic restaurants, and convenient access to the Atlantic Ocean. The city tends to draw tourists in the spring, so to ensure a stress-free trip, book accommodations as far in advance as possible.

Texas Hotel & Lodging Association

6. Marfa, Texas

One of the least well-known names on this list, Marfa is a tiny art haven located about an hour and a half from Texas’s Big Bend National Park. Yes, it’s in the middle of nowhere, but that’s part of the draw — and if you love traveling for cultural experiences, Marfa is certainly worth your time.

So, how’d Marfa become a hidden jewel of the Lone Star State? Artist Donald Judd started purchasing property in the town to showcase his personal art installations in 1973. Since then, Marfa has become a center for artists and tourists alike, with permanent and seasonal art installations, gallery shows, and annual music festivals.

The town’s also popular with paranormal investigators thanks to a strange phenomenon known as the Marfa Lights; occasionally, glowing orbs mysteriously appear in the sky. Even if you’re not fortunate enough to catch the Marfa Lights, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the Texas sky, and Big Bend is close enough for a day trip.

7. Seville, Spain

With an average April temperature of around 64 degrees, Seville is cool enough to make walking tours pleasant and enjoyable. The summer months can make the Andalusian capital difficult to navigate, but you’ll avoid sweltering temperatures by visiting in the springtime. Dive into Spanish culture by exploring the city’s stunning Catholic churches and dining at one of the city’s many tapas bars, or walk the gardens of Casa de Pilatos with your camera in hand.

When arranging your visit, remember that Seville takes the siesta tradition seriously, so don’t plan on visiting any smaller shops in the afternoon (siesta generally runs from about 2 to 4 p.m.). With that said, you’ll have no trouble visiting museums, hailing taxis, or finding eateries during these hours, provided that you check hours of operation when planning your itinerary.

8. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Springtime is enchanting in Amsterdam, though the season can be unpredictable. The Dutch have a saying that sums this up: April doet wat hij wil, or “April does what it wants.” Make sure your plans are flexible in case you run into rain or temporary drops in temperature (the lows generally hover around 40 degrees).

With that said, Amsterdam makes our list for several reasons. First, April isn’t a peak tourist season, so you won’t be battling huge crowds in town. Second — and most importantly — there’s no better time to see the tulips.

Dutch tulip fields are a sight to behold, and the city’s Tulip Festival is a great way to celebrate the flowers’ arrival while exploring one of the world’s most intriguing cities. The King’s Day celebration also occurs in April, an all-out party featuring music and food. If the festivals leave you slightly exhausted, take an afternoon canal cruise or a leisurely bike ride through town.

9. Lima, Peru

Lima, Peru, has average high temperatures of 74 to 78 degrees in April. It’s a growing tourist destination, and for good reason — Lima offers an incredible variety of experiences. If you love the ocean, you can find affordable accommodations near the City Beach, but if you’re not the type of person who wants to spend an entire trip lounging at a resort, you’ll find plenty to keep you occupied.

Take a ride out to Islas Palomino, where you can swim with sea lions (or, if you’re like us, admire them from a safe distance). Considered Peru’s Galápagos, Islas Palomino has incredible biodiversity and is a must-see for any nature lover.

To gain a greater appreciation of the city’s historical landmarks, take a free walking tour, or jump on one of the city’s double-decker buses to see the capital city from a different perspective.

Oh, and we can’t write about Lima without mentioning Kennedy Park, a serene public park that’s home to more than 100 friendly cats. Picture yourself relaxing in one of South America’s greatest cities on a warm April day with a cup of coffee and about a dozen cats by your side — we’re not sure vacations get much better than that.

Where’s warm? Hot countries for an April holiday

Some like it hot! It might be April showers at home but there are plenty of hot destinations in April around the world. Depending on just how warm you want the weather to be you might not have to travel too far either!

For comfortable temperatures in Europe, head to Italy, Greece, Portugal or Spain. The sea might not have warmed up enough to swim in yet, but for a city break in Barcelona or a weekend trip to Rome, the weather is perfect.

If it’s sun, sea and beaches you want, you’ll have to head a little further away. Head to Asia, where destinations like Thailand sometimes have their hottest month in April. Alternatively, why not sail away to South America for an adventure in Mexico or an eco-friendly trip to Costa Rica?

1.

Morocco

Summer temperatures can be too much in Morocco so head there in April when the weather is a much more comfortable 25°C.

3. Egypt

Temperatures can reach 28°C in Cairo and with little cloud cover the days are long and sunny.

5. Bali

April is the start of the sunny season in Bali while the crowds of the high season haven’t yet arrived.

Which holiday destinations are cheap in April?

If price is more important to you than the sun then consider one of these affordable options. A weekend break in a European city makes sense as you’ll beat the crowds and flights and accommodation should be cheaper. With Spring arriving many cities look stunning in April. If you get lucky and avoid rain then you could be treated to some fantastic weather too!

But April is also a great time to head to some peak-season favourites. Prices will generally be lower but could be expensive over the Easter weekend. While it won’t be as warm, you could do much more exploring and activities than in the heat of summer.

1. Dubai

Flights from Europe to Dubai are pretty cheap and it makes a great alternative long weekend break. There’s great nightlife, everything is modern and public transport works well and is well-priced. Go shopping in style at the Dubai mall and eat at fantastic restaurants. Dubai has a luxury feel despite being an affordable break. Summers are too hot for most and April is a great time for a visit before summer kicks in. You can even hit the beach and swim in the ocean! Temperatures are between 22⁰C and 34⁰C while water temperature is a comfortable 25⁰C.

2. Algarve

The Algarve offers so much more than just sun and beaches. April is an ideal time to visit with the crowds not yet arrived and temperatures an average of 16°C, although it can reach the mid 20s during the day. The days are long and there’s usually little rain. Walk the coastal paths, take a horse ride along the beach, check out the museums like the National Maritime Museum in Faro and feast on the delicious seafood. There’s endless things to do for the whole family and prices for flights and accommodation are much lower before peak season.

3. Madrid

Those fancying a weekend break in a European city in Spring should definitely consider Madrid. The Spanish capital is a popular destination year round. In April, the days are usually sunny, there’s little rain and the average temperature is 19°C – perfect for discovering the sites! Check out the stunning Royal Palace, visit one of the huge parks like the Casa de Campo and taste the local delicacies. The city is usually buzzing, especially in the cool neighbourhoods like Embajadores, which has loads of bars and a lively nightlife.

4. Sicily

Sicily is perhaps Italy’s most beautiful island. Many come in summer to enjoy the crystal clear water, charming villages and hidden beaches. But savvy travellers come outside of summer to explore the diverse nature of the island. The Zingaro nature trail is a 7km stretch along the coast which takes in some of Sicily’s local wildlife. The flight takes around 3 hours from the UK and the average temperature is 18°C. Rent a car and drive along the coast, taking in the incredible towns like Marsala and visit Mount Etna near Catania on the east side of the island.

5. Mallorca

One of the summer’s most popular destinations is also a great choice for spring! There’s very little rain and the average temperature is about 18°C. Head to Palma and enjoy the Easter festival that takes place there. The island is also a dream for cyclists and hiking enthusiasts in April. There are endless walking routes but our favourite is Puig de Maria which gives incredible panoramic views. If you’re going hiking then check out our essential packing list for a hiking trip to ensure you don’t forget anything.

The top 4 destinations for April

April showers bring May flowers, but this month isn’t all about drizzly days. It’s the start of spring, and whether you are embracing the rain at the mirrored salt flats of Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia or escaping to drier areas like the plains of Zambia, April is an excellent time to travel. It’s also the start of the cherry blossom season in destinations across the world—most famously in Japan, but also in Korea, Canada, and across the U.S.. Keep it close to home with one of our domestic options, or take advantage of lower flight prices between spring break and summer to explore somewhere further afield.

1. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world, is an impressive sight any time of the year. Thousands of miles of super-flat salt crust expand in every direction to the surrounding mountains, which gives one the feeling of looking across an unusually still lake.

April is the best time to go if you’re looking to catch the neat visual trick caused by the rainfall—as the flats are covered in water, they turn into a mirror, giving the impression that you are walking on water. If you’ve already stopped over in the salt flat, head south to the Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon), a martian-looking salt lake of pinkish-reds and pure whites where groups of flamingos roam freely.

2. Melbourne, Australia

With its warm-but-not-hot weather and its mix of laid-back beachside vibes and big city cool, Melbourne, Australia is the ideal place for an April vacation. Take a dip at the St. Kilda Sea Baths, check out the graffiti on Hosier Lane, and walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens, commonly referred to as “The Tan.” Those who want a break from the city can book a day tour to the vineyards of the Yarra Valley to sample a variety of wines from this cooler climate.

Coffee lovers take note: if you’re looking for the best place to grab your morning cappuccino, you’ll have your work cut out for you—Melbourne has been at the forefront of the third wave coffee movement, focusing on high quality beans and exquisite presentation.

3. Washington, D.C.

You don’t have to fly all the way to Japan to see beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom. The U.S. capital comes to life between March 20th – April 13th this year, when the National Cherry Blossom Festival is underway, the delicate pale-pink flowers start coming in, and the streets are blanketed in petals like a springtime snow.

The flowers aren’t the only reason to come to D.C. this time of year—April is peak travel for a reason. The days are cool and sunny, making it easy to hit hotspots like the National Mall and the Lincoln Memorial or spend a few hours walking down the iconic U Street. The best part? If you catch some April showers, there is a wealth of top-tier museums to choose from.

4. Zambia, Africa

If you’ve always dreamed of experiencing the flora and fauna of Africa up close, head to Zambia this April. Falling between the rainy season, when safari camps are generally closed, and the summer season, when prices are high and there is an influx of tourists, April has great deals, perfect weather, and allows you to see Zambia in full bloom. We recommend heading to the South Luangwa National Park, where knowledgeable guides can teach you about the more than 450 bird and animal species that populate the area. While in Zambia, be sure to take a stop at the breathtaking Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world.

Holidays in april: where to go according to your preferences?

In April, everything seems possible! Whether you want to travel in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere, there is a wide choice of destinations for a weekend with your family or lovers, or for your spring break. And if you still don’t know where to go in April, discover our selection of countries and cities that enjoy an ideal or favorable climate.

Where to go to enjoy the sun and rest at the beach in April?

A relaxing stay has every chance of being held in the best conditions in a sunny destination. And in April, it is a bit like the high season in European seaside resorts after several months spent in the cold. While it is still cool in most northern European countries, you have to go south to enjoy the sunshine and the water that is starting to warm up slowly. One thinks in particular of Spain, which is very close to France and which is bathed in a particularly generous climate from the beginning of spring. You will certainly enjoy your idleness sessions on the Costa del Sol, in Andalusia, where you can combine sightseeing with beach relaxation.

It is also starting to get hot in the Greek islands: Corfu, Mykonos, Samos, Lesbos, etc. In France, Biarritz and Nice have a decent climate, but to really enjoy sunbathing, it is better to head for Corsica. With more than 8 hours flight time from France, the Caribbean also remains faithful to their postcard shot in April. Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Bayahibe and Boca Chica invite you to live a real tropical dream on the shores of a turquoise sea. A fishing village atmosphere, fine sand shaded by coconut trees and crystal clear waters as far as the eye can see is also available in Guadeloupe, Martinique and other Caribbean islands.

A small exotic paradise, French Polynesia offers a pleasant climate for those who want to go far away to clear their minds while enjoying the beach. Head for Rikitea or Tubuaï to enjoy an unforgettable holiday! In Senegal, it is more of a human adventure that we are seeking, with a real change of scenery and memorable moments of relaxation on the beaches of Cap Skirring.

Sightseeing and culture in April: where to go?

In April, where to go in Europe? It is the beginning of spring and an excellent season to discover the thousand and one treasures of Spain. Stroll through the streets of Barcelona and stop in the Gothic Quarter, visit its art museums, not to mention the Sagrada Familia. Or leave your luggage in Seville, Malaga or Madrid. Between history, culture and architecture, your stay promises to be rich in discoveries. The April holidays are also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the medieval setting of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its old town is discovered as you leaf through the pages of a history book. In Greece, the climate is ideal for exploring the ancient wonders of Athens, from the Acropolis to the Agora, not to mention visiting the city’s many museums. Italy, Hungary, Portugal and Montenegro also have some incredible surprises in store for you at this time of year.

In France, it is neither too hot nor too cold to appreciate the charm of Annecy, Avignon, Lyon, Agen or Toulouse. But for those for whom holidays must go hand in hand with a new culture and experience, Israel represents a kind of cave of wonders, with the cultural bubbling of Tel Aviv, the theaters and museums of Jerusalem. The same surprise in Jordan where the remains of Petra, the city of Amman and the ancient site of Jerash are not to be missed. Asia also offers you an emotional journey to China, Japan, Pakistan and Taiwan. However, avoid the city of Guymri in Armenia, Calcutta and Madras in India, and northern Vietnam, which have a very unfavorable climate for tourist visits.

Most countries in South and Central America are preparing to welcome the winter season, and in April, the climate is mild everywhere. You can go to Peru and visit Machu Picchu, or stay in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the most dynamic and pleasant South American capitals to discover.

Outdoor and hiking holidays in April

To relieve stress, rejuvenate and commune with nature, a few pearls stand out. This is the case in Costa Rica where the paths that run through the jungle can lead you to a heavenly beach. Another favorite place for hikers, Guadeloupe offers trekking routes for all levels in Basse-Terre, Les Saintes and La Désirade, between sea and nature. In the Indian Ocean, Madagascar is the focus of attention, with its incredibly rich national parks where various species of lemurs and lizards live. Also on the African continent, South Africa and Senegal also have a favorable climate for hiking and safaris.

It is not always thought of, but Israel also offers hiking and trekking with more than 200 national parks and reserves. But it is the Negev desert that offers the best route for adventurers. In Jordan, nature lovers will find their happiness in the Mujib wadi or Azraq reserves. In the Philippines, you will also enjoy excellent weather conditions for hiking on the island of Luzon and climbing Mount Mayon or Mount Pulog, with a splendid panorama and breathtaking landscapes between waterfalls and forests.

In Europe, forget Santiago de Compostela where the climate is very unfavorable, and instead privilege the Spanish islands where the beautiful days are consecutive in the month of April. In the Balearic Islands, the island of Mallorca is a hiker’s paradise, between its paths overlooking the sea and its wild landscapes. In the Canary Islands, this activity is also very popular and is practiced on foot, horse, and bicycle or even on camel. In Portugal, it is on Madeira Island that nature reveals its most beautiful colors. France is not to be outdone, with a clear preference for Corsica in April. In group, with family, friends or as a couple, you will enjoy exploring the mythical GR20.

The best sporting destinations to go to in April

In April, snow still persists in some European countries such as Austria and Germany, making them essential destinations for a final ski holiday before spring returns. But where to go in April to move in a sunny place, far from the cold mid-winter blues? Again, the choice is very wide. Cyprus, for example, offers a wide range of outdoor activities: diving, water sports, mountain biking and hiking. In Turkey, horse and bicycle rides are also possible in Cappadocia.

If for you, a sporting holiday rhymes with scuba diving, you will find your happiness in regions where the sea is both warm and calm. This is particularly the case in Jordan, which has many diving centers, Israel and Egypt which are open on the Red Sea, one of the most famous diving destinations in the world. On the other side of the Atlantic, Mexico will undeniably satisfy your desire to escape, especially on the Riviera Maya where you can come from afar to dive into the cenotes of the Yucatan.

Guadeloupe, which is nicknamed the island of beautiful waters, is also famous for its many diving and snorkeling spots in Les Saintes, Malendure and in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin Natural Park. Other activities are offered on site to vary the pleasures, such as sport fishing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and body-boarding, as many sports and leisure activities that can also be found in Martinique. Another multi-purpose destination, Madagascar offers many opportunities for adventure, sports and discovery. Diving, fishing, surfing, climbing, canyoning, rafting, paragliding, speleology, golf… everything is possible on the island! A few kilometers away, Mauritius offers about the same weather conditions as in April and is suitable for scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, cruising and various water sports.

Family holidays in April

A successful family holiday in April is a combination of adults’ desire to relax and children’s need to have fun. To do this, prefer regions that offer both beautiful beaches conducive to idleness and water parks or amusement parks. This is the case, for example, in Spain, the Dominican Republic and Mauritius. You can also let yourself be tempted by a family adventure in the heart of nature, to meet an endearing and exotic fauna in South Africa, Madagascar or Guatemala.

A change of scenery in Japan where young and old will be projected into another universe, both futuristic and attached to traditions. Tokyo, the capital, is not to be missed for shopping and discovering its districts entirely dedicated to video games and new technologies. Sensations and emotions will also punctuate a trip to China where Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing have some good surprises in store for families, not to mention the largest Hello Kitty amusement park.

But if you are looking for the perfect destination, the one that will make you feel like in a small paradise, book a stay in the Bahamas. Preferential rates for children in hotels, the huge Atlantis entertainment complex and its open-air aquarium promise a dream getaway. Closer by, the Canary Islands offer everything you could hope for a memorable holiday with your children: sublime beaches, interesting museums, diving courses for all ages, farms and zoos, theme parks and water parks. There is something for everyone!

  ☀ Spring is a great time to fly somewhere to relax. Winter in most regions of Russia actually lasts for six months. By the beginning of spring, the body, exhausted by the cold, asks for the sun and the sea. Fortunately, in the spring months there are a lot of places where you can relax in comfortable conditions:

  • in tropical countries – the end of the high season;
  • high season in countries where summers are usually unbearably hot;
  • at the end of spring – the beginning of the season in countries where the high season is in the summer.

  Where to relax abroad in the spring of 2022 – without a visa

  Interestingly, most of the countries open to Russians do not require a visa, or they issue it simply upon arrival. This list includes many popular destinations among compatriots, where they usually fly for a beach holiday.

Fuerteventura ~ April 2022 – Lovegrove Adventures

What you can expect from me – your tutor

I devised this Fuerteventura workshop in 2010 because I was in love with the textures and light. The relaxed nature of the islands inhabitants adds to the fun in the sun atmosphere. Clients have come on this workshop from many countries and I’ve ensured that it has lived up to their expectations. Your learning experience is of utmost importance to me. I have an honest approach to sharing my knowledge and skills gleaned over 35 years of shooting professionally full time. Be prepared to soak up invaluable tips and information because these skills will give you the confidence you need to take your photography to the next level.

I am kind, sharing and patient. I take care to communicate in a way that reaches every level. I won’t leave you struggling if you are lost in camera menus and I won’t ignore you if you are quietly getting great photographs. What I’ll do is to show you how to build rapport and communicate with our model to make structured poses look quite relaxed and natural. Nothing is left to chance. Everything has a purpose and I’ll share with you how I style each shot. I have an understanding of light that I’m well known for and I’ll teach you how I see the light. Once you know what to look for everything becomes easier. If we are using the flash we will be creating striking fashion inspired looks. This attention to detail will ensure you capture portfolio grade images and feel empowered to capture fabulous photographs on your own after the workshop too.

My workshops are not just about learning, they are fun, creative adventures.  You will leave this workshop a more confident photographer with images to be proud of and memories to last a lifetime.

Other useful information

The h20 Ocean Dunas hotel in Corralejo is the suggested tour hotel and the place we will meet on each of the three mornings of the workshop. There is accommodation in Corralejo to suit all budgets and the town is quite compact with easy walking to all areas.

We will have an early start on the second workshop day so that we can shoot at a popular location before it opens to the public.

We will get around the island in one 9 seater hire car. There will not be much driving to be done on the workshop days as our locations are all in the north of the island.

And another thing…

I took the picture of Carla Monaco in the banner at the top of the page on my last workshop in Fuerteventura. It was the middle of the day with the sun high behind her. I could have darkened the background and sky to make the shot more dramatic but I chose to keep the shot bright and light. I lit Carla with an off-camera flash head rigged just above the camera. We will be visiting the same sand dunes this time around for sure.

After looking into his work to create magical classic Hollywood looks straight out of the camera without much editing using continuous lights, I was very much in love with his photography techniques and lighting skills.
During our 1:1 Training, Damien explained his lighting techniques which are sometimes very subtle yet very essential and effective to produce high quality images straight out of the camera.
After having a session with him, I am now capable of reproducing the same Classic Hollywood look.
I loved the 1:1 training with him and would love to join his adventures in the near future to learn more from him as he is the master of lighting.
Highly recommended for other photographers. read less

What you will take away from this trip to Fuerteventura

  Hallo! Ich wäre sehr dankbar über paar Tipps die Kanaren, speziell Fuerteventura (Auch Lanzarote)betreffend.

  – Wie ist das Wetter üblicherweise April/Mai dort? Ist das Wasser sehr kalt? Wir sind mit 3-jährigem Kind (ich werde im 7 Monat schwanger sein) und würden gern richtigen Badeurlaub machen.

  – Welche Orte wären zu empfehlen? Caleta des Fustes oder Corralejo? Wo ist es windgeschützter?

  – Wo kann man sonst noch um die Zeit Badeurlaub machen? Können halt nicht so weit fliegen und möchten nicht unbedingt Nordafrika oder Türkei.

  Vielen Dank vorab!!!

  Kann dir da den Süden von Gran Canaria empfehlen. Am besten Puerto de Mogan. Der Ort liegt sehr windgeschützt und hat einen fast neuen superfeinen Sandstrand. Die Wassertemperaturen liegen hier April/Mai bei runden 20 bis 21 Grad. Die Lufttemperatur ist etwas höher als in PdI so bei runden 24 bis 25 Grad.

  Solltet euch das Wasser zu “kalt” sein, kann man auf die einzelnen Pools der Hotels zurückgreifen. Die sind meist um ein bis zwei Grad wärmer.

  Hallo …

  ich würde auf keinen Fall Caleta des Fustes wählen,weil Du dort fast jeden Flieger mitbekommst.Liegt sozusagen in der An-und Abflugsschneiße vom Flughafen.Sehr laut.Und Corralejo liegt im Norden,Wetter dort nicht so beständig wie im Sünden.

  Ich bin immer in Jandia,ganz unten im Süden gelegen.War vor 2 Jahren Ende Mai im Faro.Hat mir und meinem Mann super gefallen.Besonders der Innenhof ist sehr windgeschützt.Du mußt nämlich wissen,auf Fuerteventura bläßt fast immer der Wind.Für kleine Kinder nicht sehr angenehm.Welches Hotel hattet Ihr denn in Auge gefaßt?

  Dicker Gruß

  Hi !

  waren mal im Robinson-Club Esquinzo auf Fuerte. Ist aber schon etliche Jahre her!

  Schöne Anlage mit den bekannten Eigenheiten der Robinson-Club-Atmosphäre.

  Am Strand allerdings recht viel Wind, deshalb auch Steinburgenbau angesagt (heute auch noch ??).

  Mit kleinen Kind würde ich auch Gran Canaria wählen, wir waren dort im Princess im Playa Taurito, sehr windgeschützt.

  Wenn Ihr natürlich etwas länger fliegen könntet, empfehle ich immer wieder einen Individual-Urlaub in Florida !!

  Und sowas muss nicht teuer sein – gibt tolle Orte dort !!

  Unser Stammort ander Golfküste ist Naples, allerdings nicht die billigste Gegend !

  Zu dieser Zeit absolut wind arm, keine Hurrikans mehr.

  mit Gruss

  Wir sind immer Mitte Mai auf Fuerteventura und hatten sehr guten Wetter – das Wasser ist zwar schon etwas kälter – da der Atlantik durch die Wintermonate nicht “aufgeheizt” wurde, aber bei der Außentemperatur gute Abkühlung – oft sehen wir, dass Eltern ihren Kleinen nach dem Baden einen Bademantel anziehen, damit es nicht allzu kalt wird . .. Aber “richtiger” Badeurlaub ist auf jeden Fall drin! Ihr müßt wissen, dass IMMER auf Fuerte Wind gehen und ihr somit am Strand (egal wo) nicht windgeschützt seit, es sei denn, ihr nehmt euch einen Windschutz (Aldi, Lidl) dorthin mit, dass machen auch sehr viele! Norden würde ich aber nicht empfehlen, da kann es immer mal einige Grade kälter sein oder schon mal Regnen, dann lieber ab Costa Calma – Richtung Süden bis Jandia runter …

  Guter Tip. Tatsächlich eine *windarme* Ecke. Gut kommt diesbezüglich auch Playa Ingles mit den grossen Sanddünen bei Maspalomas. Playa Ingles natürlich absoluter *Touri* Ort, da brummt der Bär. Aber direkt hinter dem grössten Strand der Insel bei Maspalomas kommt eine (relativ) neue Hotelzone. Hier allerdings nur Felsenstrand. Aber vom echt tollen Hotel Costa Meloneras nur ca. 5-10 min Fussmarsch und man ist mitten in den Sanddünen und am Strand von Playa Ingles.

  Schöner grosser Strand natürlich auch in Jandia/Fuerte. Auch hier die windarme Zone. War mal in beiden Robinsons. Einer in Jandia, einer in Esquinzo. Unterschied windmässig wie Tag und Nacht. Und auch der Strand ist nicht zu vergleichen. RIESIG in Jandia, mickrig in Esquinzo. Wassertemperaturen im April noch recht *frisch*, nicht vergessen, ist Atlantik. Mai ist schon besser.

  Hi, Cat!

  kenne leider nur den Robinson in Esquinzo, auch schon länger her.

  Jetzt mal unabhängig von Strand und Wind – wie fandest Du denn die beiden Clubs ansonsten untereinander.

  Der in Jandia müsste der Ältere sein?

  Jedenfalls erschien mir damals (Mitte90ziger) der in Esquinzo sehr neu.

  Hallo Holzmichel,

  der Robinson in Jandia ist der älteste Robinson überhaupt. Mit entpsrechend veralteter Architektur. Blick von der Strasse auf den Club grausam. Ist man erst mal drinnen, geht es besser. Natürlich keine Pool *Landschaften*, sondern nur Pool. Dafür aber beste Strandlage. War ja auch eins der ersten Hotels vor Ort. Die haben immer die beste Lage. Club wurde mittlerweile auch 2 x renoviert, die Zimmer haben mittlerweile sogar TV 😀

  Am besten die Wassersportanlage, der Riesenstrand, die Tennisplätze.

  Der Club Esquinzo ist wesentlich jünger. Aber auch schon an die 12-14 Jahre alt. Noch nie renoviert. Wird gerade gemacht, deswegen ist der Club bis Mitte nächstes Jahr geschlossen. Hat durch die erhöhte Lage herrlichen Meerblick. Aber der Strand ist im Vergleich zu Jandia Möwenschiet. Ist auch ein AI Club, bei Robinson sind das immer die schlechtesten. Wassersport und Tennis trotzdem erste Sahne. Obwohl, ist hier eine windige Ecke. Gerne schon mal über 6 bft. Dann kein segeln mehr möglich. Und die Filzbälle fliegen auch schon mal gerne krumm 😀

  Nach der Renovierung sicher wieder empfehlenswert, ansonsten würde ich den in Jandia vorziehen.

  Eigentlich würde ich aber in keinen mehr gehen. War auch schon im Aldiana dort, ist auch das gleiche. Alles Uralt. Nicht zu vergleichen mit einem neuen Club (z.B. in Portugal oder Zypern) oder einem neuen 5* Hotel mit moderner Architektur.

  Bin auch der Meinung, Puerto de Mogan auf Gran Canaria ist super. Der neu angelegte Strand ist sehr gepflegt, das Wasser nicht tief und somit schon deutlich wärmer. Die Luft kann auch schon bis zu 28 Grad warm werden. Für eine werdende Mama bestens geeignet.

  Das Hotel Cordial Mogan kann ich nur bestens empfehlen, auch wenn es genug Meckerer gibt. Wir waren im Juni da, kannst Dir ja mal meine Bewertung ansehen.

  Auch der Ort ist sehr, sehr schön. Für mich immer wieder. 😀

Austin’s Birding Blog: Fuerteventura April 2018

Fuerteventura

Damian Young, Gary Edwards, Patrick Earith and I, all North West birders, planned a trip to Fuerteventura to tick off some of its special birds, personally I was hoping to see the dwarf bittern that had been there since December, but alas, and typically just a few weeks before we arrived it had done one!

We stayed in the very quiet village of Caleta de Fuste just south of the airport on the east coast of the island. I’d read on another trip report of someone comparing the place to Mos Eisley on the planet of Tattoine which is pretty apt, for any Star Wars fans reading this.

The most common and widespread speciality of the Canaries was the endemic Berthelot’s Pipit. It was brilliantly illustrated at Fuerteventura airport car park from we where we collected the hire car.  Fuerteventura also offers the best places to see the Houbara bustard cream-coloured courser and its very own endemic Fuerteventura stonechat, all of which were on our hit list.

When we arrived at the airport and collected our Hyundai Tucson higher car we headed straight over to the dwarf bittern area, Barranco de Rio Cabras, this was about 10-15 mins from the airport. We knew bittern had gone from this site but we also knew it was good place to start birding as it held some decent species. We explored both sides of the valley, searched the area near the cheese factory and the area near the old refuse site, here we had decent views of our first African blue tit and our only European bee-eater. We also stumbled across a small pool which was being visited by several trumpeter finch and linnet which we watched for a while.

Day1


On our first morning we headed to explore the plains of Fuerteventura, which we knew was good for most of our big target species. We headed towards a little village called La Oliva, here we found a small vegetated area close to the track which took us up on the more barren plains, so we stopped to have a look.

Berthelot’s Pipit:  This small patch held some interesting birds. One of the most notable was this very common resident little bird. The species is named after the French naturalist Sabin Berthelot, one-time resident of the Canary Islands, by Carl Bolle.

Little brown job pretty much describes these birds as they are an undistinguished looking species on the ground, mainly grey above and whitish below, with some breast streaking. It has a whitish supercilium and eye ring, with dark eye and moustachial stripes.   Males and females look alike, but juveniles are browner than adults.

Corn Bunting: This was the only area where we came across corn bunting, we could hear the distinctive call of the corn bunting ringing out across this small area. 

This small vegetated area was gold as we also saw a common redstart here too.

Spectacled Warbler: Once we headed out over the plains we stumbled across another dried riverbed and a small vegetated area, which was good for the chat and the speccy warbler.

It was here we got our best views of the stonechat.

Fuerteventura Chat (male): Or locally known as the Canary Islands stonechat was discovered in 1888 by E. G. Meade-Waldo, the bird favours hilly area and can be found in the steep valleys and dry or nearly dry ditches which are locally known as barrancos. This is an endemic bird restricted to Fuerteventura and a bird most birders want to tick.

Typically the birds have distinct round-heads with a blackish mantle, white throat and supercilium and rusty-orange on breast.

Perhaps what is most notable about this endemic species is its behaviour. Unlike the stone chat I am familiar with here in the UK these island birds tend to be quite secretive and quiet, especially on windy days, they produced call and where particularly flighty little birds.

Cream-coloured Courser: As the name suggests, the body is largely pale cream or sandy in colour, with a white lower belly and sharply contrasting black wing tips and black under wings, which are visible in flight. Perfectly camouflaged against the Fuerteventura plains.

This wonderful bird is a famously slender bird with a relatively long, pointed, down-curved beak, a short tail, distinctly long legs and a characteristic upright stance.

The bird also has strikingly marked haed with a black stripe from the eye to the back of the neck, bordered above by a white stripe, and has a bluish-grey crown

After covering almost the whole site, and driving across some terrible roads in 2nd gear, we worked hard to find this bird, taking almost five hours to find one.

We were thrilled as we watched the bird getting chased around by two short-toed larks.

Houbara Bustard: After finding the courser and not much else in the time we spent driving over the plains we decided to get some food and regroup.

We headed in to Tindaya village itself and had some food. It was here Patrick found a possible better area for the bustards.

In the superb Dave Gosney book it says that the bustards can be found near a small patch of fig trees off the track on Tindaya Plain.

We were sceptical as we were feeling a bit fatigued after an exhausting search, but Gosneys directions came up top trumps, pure gold.

Almost as soon as we scanned across the area I spotted our first Houbara bustard……..we were made up!!

The bird was hidden behind a small shrub right next to the road and didn’t seem to be bothered by our presence, I think it felt safe hidden behind the shrub.

Tyndaya plain seemed to be the better place to see these birds, we had another 4 coursers and struck really lucky with this bustard.

There were also bigger numbers of larks and pipits, great area.

Eventually the bird got up and casually walked away from our hire car, crossing the road and heading out of view.

Another one of Fuerteventura’s top birds ticked off.

Day2


On our second day we decided to start our day off at Vega de Rio Palmas, this is a beautiful oasis which consists of a steep valley and a dried river bed surrounded by vegetation and dense trees. There is a view point at the very end overlooking a dam and a impressive cliff face.

Turtle Dove: Almost as soon as we got out of the car we cold hear the marvolous sound of the turtle dove purring. This was by far the best place to see turtle dove.

Sardinian Warbler: Again the Gosney was pure gold as it states that this area is great for Sardinian warbler too, as well as turtle dove.

The Sardinian warbler is a common and widespread typical warbler from the Mediterranean region, but on Fuerteventura its range is restricted to a few small areas.

Every other bush, tree and shrub seemed to emmit the loud churring often accompanied by a short, sharp rattled tacking noise. The call was very distinct, especially compared to the speccy warbler.

The Sardinian warbler on Fuerteventura is a subspecies (S.m. leucogastra) and is smaller, with more rounded wings. It has less white on outer rectrices. The race is also paler on E Islands, but darker on those of Palma and Tenerife.

Barbary Partridge: A particularly difficult bird to see well as they not only blend in well with the terrain but are easily spooked and like to either run off or take flight. We got lucky as we drove around a road overlooking valley near Vega de Rio Palmas and came across this individual accompanied by two little chicks.

Eurasian Eagle Owl: One of the birds we were really hoping to see.

(Eagle Owl pictures courtesy of Damian young)

The notible birds we had here at Vega de Rio Palmas included African blue tit, Barbary partridge, Egytian vulture, Eurasian eagle owl, goldfinch , linnet, laughing dove, Sardinian warbler, spectacled warbler, Southern grey shrike and turtle dove.

Hoopoe: Ater leaving Vega de Rio Palmas we headed to Los Molinos which is a huge reservoir and is the largest fresh water accumulation on the island. This attracts many types of birds to live in the area, so it has become one of the best birding areas around the island.This reservoir is located on the road from Tefia to the small coastal town of Los Molinos.

This area is good for marbled teal and a range of swift.

On the walk over to the hide overlooking the lake Gary spotted a hoopoe close in behind the stone wall. This gave me a great chance to get up close and personal with a bird we’ve seen all over the island but often at a distance or only in flight.

Berthelot’s Pipit: The large open plain on the other side of the stone wall also held good numbers of pipit and larks.

I was keen to get some crippling shots of the pipit, so as the guys searched the lake from the hide I spent sometime up on the ridge, behind the wall stalking these little guys.

Typically they are not very shy and several were happily feeding only a yard or so away from me.

We watched from the hide and counted the coots, mallard and shelduck and watched the common swift and palid swift circling overhead. We also had our first peregrine and a small flock of spoonbill here along with a single common sandpiper and greenshank, overall a nice place to visit.

Cattle Egret: After having our fill of Los Molinos we sat in the higher car and thought about where we could go, we decided to throw all caution out of the window and head to the coast and do a spot of sea watching, with the hope of seeing the red-billed tropic birds.

On our way out we spotted this cattle egret standing in the middle of the road and not flying off, seemed odd, maybe hit by a car and stunned. We observed it for a short while until it flew up, landed then ran off. It was fine….

Houbara Bustard: We stumbled across several more bustard: one near the road again and another three flew in a little further up the road.

Although we got lucky on day one with the views of the bustard.  I was still surprised how close these birds come to the car.

Great looking birds with their unique vermiculited pattering on their backs, we never got tired of watching them as they roamed over the Fuerteventura plains.

And across the roads…..

Red-billed Tropic bird: We made it to what we thought was the tropic bird site and spent about 30-40 minutes doing a sea watch.

This was difficult as between the four of us we only had two scopes, and we were getting distracted by the huge volume of Cory’s shearwater that were flying over the sea.

Eventually we gave up, we had no sightings, no possible sightings, not a sniff of a tropic bird. The wind was strong and unrelenting and it looked like it may even rain, we looked at each other and said stuff it lets keep looking.

We moved around the cliff edge, scanning as we went. And there, right there I spotted two very distant birds flying in to the cliff tops.

Punching the air and full of excitement we moved closer to where we saw the birds and counted not two, not three, not even four but eight birds.

I was simply blown away, not only did we get the chance to see these superbly stunning birds, we managed to see eight and at an unbelievably close  range.

Red-billed tropicbird is fairly large and predominantly white, with greatly elongated central tail feathers. It’s bill is large and powerful, slightly decurved and is as long as the head. Head is rather large, neck is short and thick. Legs are very short. Toes are rather small and connected by webs.

Plumage is soft, rather compact on back and wings. Red-billed tropicbird has long, acute wings. Tail has twelve feathers, wedge-shaped, with the two middle feathers extremely elongated, narrow and tapering.

Bill is orange red, iris is brown. Tarsi and base of toes are yellow, webs and claws are black. General colour of plumage is pale pink, with the two median tail feathers redder. It has curved spot before the eye, and a black stripe behind it. A black band extends across the wing from the flexure to the extremities of scapulars.

There is a black spot on some of primary coverts.  Female resembles the male, but is less tinged with red. Bill is yellow. Tail feathers are also less elongated.

Juvenile resembles adult, but has yellowish bill, blacker on nape, black subterminal spots on tail and feathers, and lacks elongated central tail feathers.

Proper stunning birds and definitely the best bird of the trip!!

Tropic birds only land to breed and this may possibly be the only breeding colony in Europe and an extremely sensitive bird. We have been sworn to secrecy not to say where they can be found on the island.

****I hope that readers of my blog can respect this and have the understanding that in the world of birding and twitching there are times when people ask for information on sensitive bird sites to be withheld****

Spectacled Warbler: The heavens did eventually open and we got rained on, this left a beautifully complete rainbow, a good omen after such a brilliant show.

Southern Grey Shrike: While driving back we had this shrike that was feeding a juvenile bird and chasing the warblers and larks.

Day 3

Our third and final day we were very keen to get some decent views of the sand grouse, having only seen a couple in flight at La Oliva and at some distance. So we consulted the Dave Gosney book which gave us directions for Bahia La Pared. Here there is a large valley parallel to a road and its here large numbers of sand grouse come together to drink along the small stream at the bottom of the valley. 

Raven: We arrived on the road opposite the valley in order to check it over, we were a little early and there were no sand grouse in this area yet.

So instead I got very distracted photographing one of Fuerteventura Ravens, a subspecies (corax tingitanus).

The Dave Gosney book specifically states that the birds come to brink at 10am on the dot and as we arrived early we decided to drive over the tracks north of La Pared off Pueblo del Mar.

These bumpy tracks had plenty of sand grouse on them but again they were all flying over in the direction of the valley.

Cream-coloured Courser: As we drove over the bumpy tracks we spotted several coursers, one had a lovely little chick in tow.

Lesser Short-toed Lark: This area also had good numbers of larks and pipits, but that wasn’t a surprise as these little birds were almost everywhere.

Black-bellied Sand Grouse: When we got back to the road beside Bahia La Pared we didn’t have to wait long before the sand grouse came in.

Like clockwork they flew on to the side of the opposite cliff face and gathered together in good numbers before walking down the hill towards the stream.

The black-bellied sand grouse has an extremely large range, and a very large global population, however the population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and hunting pressure.

In Europe declines have been very rapid and Fuerteventura offers the best place to see these shy, easily spooked birds.

Interestingly these birds legs are covered by feathers up to the toes, but the toes are not feathered.

Striking birds in flight, black-bellied sand grouse have obviously a blackish belly region, their central tail feathers are short giving a wedge-shaped and their wings are long and pointed. The under wings are whitish and they have a thin blackish band around the lower breast.

The upper parts are brown and have dark markings the males also have a chestnut throat patch and the female is pale brown with fine dark markings on upper parts, head and breast.

 Egyptian Vulture: unfortunately the birds didn’t get a chance to drink as the large adult vulture came soaring past them, spooking them to take flight.

Collard Dove: From here we headed south in the hope we could find some of our own migrant birds at Costa Calma.

Barbury Ground Squirrel: We parked up at Hotel Melia Gorriones on the coast and as soon as we got our of the car we spotted a red-vented bulbul and a barn swallow.

We scoped the coast line from the hill and added Kentish plover to the list before setting off on to the beach itself. This areas was particularly warm, which was a bit of a treat as all we had experienced over the last few days was strong winds and overcast weather.

We walked around the palms looking and listening before heading over to a small group of torists who were feeding the local Barbury ground squirrels.

These charming little things were not shy and came right up to them taking food directly out of their hands.

Next to goats they are probably the most common animals of Fuerteventura, perhaps even more common. They live in colonies and family groups in burrows.

The squirrels are found pretty much all over the island, their correct name is the Barbary ground squirrel which are endemic to Western Sahara, Algeria and Morocco. They were introduced into Fuerteventura in 1965 and have thrived ever since. Many people refer to them as chipmunks or Fuerteventura chipmunks, which they do resemble.

I loved them, they were great to photograph.

Spanish Sparrow: Amongst the squirrels and the tourists there were also collard doves and Spanish sparrows feeding.

This gave me a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these birds that i have encounted all over the island but nothing like as close as this.

Very distinctive little birds compared to our home grown house sparrows, males have a brown-reddish cap, a white stripe over the eye, and black throat and breast gradually extending into patterned belly and flanks.

Its cheeks are white as well as its undersides with some white stripes on its rufous-brown back. Females are lighter and more uniformly grey-brown, with a striped flank, darker wings and a beige supercilium stripe.

Collard Dove: We checked all around the hotel and scrub alongside the beach but the wind picked up and we didn’t find anything, we also checked the site where there had been recent sightings of olive-backed pipi and little bunting without any luck.

Berthelot’s Pipit: So that was it, time to go home, we headed back to the airport.

But not before stopping off one last time first at Rosa del Toro pool, a small water body surrounded by reeds.

Muscovy Duck: We found one of these scabby looking things around the pond, a very tame individual, very much an escaped bird.

Pintail: We were however surprised to see a Northern pintail at the same pond. Our first thought was that it might have been a rarity, but after consulting the Tony Clark, Helm book we could see it was a usual visitor.

Trumpeter Finch: We also had one last look at the small pool at Barranco de Rio Cabras.

Smaller than the house sparrow in comparison these Little chaps can be found in dri semi-dessert habitats. They have a distinct round, stocky shape with a large head and stout bill.
It is easy to overlook them as they are well camouflaged. The trumpeter finch, however, betrays its presence by its long drawn-out nasal trumpeting call.

Common Buzzard: We also had a common buzzard in this area along with several vultures in this area.

These are such great little birds, they were very reliable here and we watched as several came to the pool for a quick drink.

Linnet: Several linnet also dropped in for a drink.

Trumpeter Finch: The unreasonable joy gleaned from the observation of birds going about their bright, oblivious business. Loved it. 

This was one of my best birding trips, with views like those of the tropic birds it has to be a real birding memory – one of those birding moments I will never forget. But brilliant birds aside, I had a brilliant time with three brilliant blokes. OK there might have been too much back seat driving from a certain un-named individual, and I may have got a little too grumpy after the donkey chased me and I fell over busting my knee open and nearly smashing my brand new camera and don’t mention ‘cheese gate’ this Fuerteventura trip was excellent.

Thanks guys for a cracking time. 

We ended on 52 species for the trip and I ended up with 12 new lifers.

Lanzarote Island vs Fuerteventura Island – Videos

Before I write point by point on various criteria to compare and help you decide where to go: Lanzarote or Fuerteventura – below are 2 videos to give you a snapshot of both islands.

Let’s start with an introduction of all you could see in Lanzarote:

And now an introduction of what it looks like visiting Fuerteventura:

Beaches – Lanzarote vs Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura definitively has a lot more sand than Lanzarote, so there is a larger choice of beaches for you to choose from.

Resort Beaches of Lanzarote or Resort beaches of Fuerteventura?

• Lanzarote has 3 main resort towns: Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. They all have beaches mostly small coves.
• Fuerteventura’s resorts are mostly in the South of the island with Morro Jable and Costa Calma. Both have long beaches with lots of space. And for the North area, huge beach areas are not far away from Corralejo.

Fuerteventura offers larger beaches and more space to set up near all the facilities of town. 

Wild Beaches – Fuerteventura or Lanzarote?

If you are looking for more scenic beaches, wilder options, both islands have lots to offer.

Lanzarote

In Lanzarote, choices are more limited, but you have some very scenic options.
The most famous are the Papagayo beaches in the South of the island. The landscape is bare and the last beach is a beautiful cove with emerald waters.
Whereas in the North, you can find the Caletones with the contrast of the dark volcanic rock on the white sand. It also has a lagoon if you want to relax is quiet waters
You can learn more on my article about the best beaches in Lanzarote.

Fuerteventura

In Fuerteventura, you have the Corralejo sand dunes to the North that just sand and turquoise water for kilometers. It is impressive and magnificent.

And in the South you have the Jandia Lagoon where you won’t feel like you are cluttered and getting to know too much your towel neighbours. It also have wilder beaches with huge waves on the South West Coast such as Cofete or La Pared.

You can easily find the right beach for your mood.

Winner

Both have interesting choices. But I would pick Fuerteventura because you get a lot more space and can more easily get away from the crowds if you want.

Landscapes – Fuerteventura or Lanzarote

Landscapes of Lanzarote

Lanzarote has a great variety of scenery. You can find:

• Many many volcanoes including the National park of Timanfaya. Some are black, others are red and there is even one large white one. 
• So you also have a lot of fascinating volcanic features such as: lava fields (smooth or rock), lava tubes (where Cesar Manrique has fun reinventing the space), lava cliffs at Los Hervideros or the green lagoon of El Golfo
• You can also find high cliffs to the North West at Famara
• And Vineyards at the foot of Volcanoes
• And of course the beaches we mentioned in the previous section

Landscapes of Fuerteventura

In Fuerteventura, the landscape is a lot less volcanic, you can admire:

• Fascinating bare mountains with shades of orange, pink and brown
• White Sand dunes in the Corralejo natural park
• Impressive cliffs in the South west at the famous Cofete (only accessible by bumpy track)
• Ancient cliffs and caves at Ajuy
• Fascinating sandy Lagoon at Jandia in the South East

Winner

Because of all the volcanoes, the winner is Lanzarote.
But I must admit that I was pleasently surprised by Fuerteventura. It was much more interesting than I expected from the pictures.

The best option if you have 2 weeks would be 10 days in Lanzarote and 4 days in Fuerteventura or something like that.

Because of the common Canarian history and similar weather conditions, you can find similar food on both islands.
Local cuisine is primary seafood with traditional Spanish recipes and Latin American influences.
Not much grows on the islands, so fruits vegetables are imported and not heavily present in the menus.

One special thing though about Lanzarote, are the vineyards where trees grows thanks to the Picon volcanic rocks. Sweet tasting wine and great visits to be done and discover the unique agriculture technique.

Driving in Lanzarote vs Getting around in Fuerteventura

Driving on both islands is not very difficult.
Roads are in fairly good conditions. Driving in on the right.
Because of its size and lesser volcanic soil, Fuerteventura has some bigger road that allow you to drive quickly from North to South on the East coast.

  We base comfort level on dew point, as it determines whether sweat will evaporate from the skin, cooling the body. A lower dew point makes you feel more dry, while a higher dew point makes you feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between day and night, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while temperatures may drop at night, a wet day usually gives way to a wet night.

  The probability that a given day will be raw in Fuerteventura basically does not change throughout April, staying at about 1% all the time.

  For reference: on August 31, , on the wettest day of , dampness is felt 71% of of the time, and on January 13, , on the least wet day of , damp on 1% of of the time.
