Fuerteventura windsurfing championship: Windsurfing: World Championship of Sotavento. Pájara
The PWA event in Fuerteventura cancelled – Windsurf Journal
07/07/2022
“Sadly we have to inform you that the Fuerteventura World Cup will not take place as planned for 2022.
Despite the best efforts of the PWA, Ayuntamiento de Pajara, the Rene Egli Centre and Melia Group, over months of hard work and planning, and despite the funding for the event being confirmed by the primary sponsors, some of the necessary permits required locally for the event to take place were still not available 3 weeks before the planned start of the event, preventing the final event contracts from being signed in good time. Due to the limited time remaining to make the final preparations for the event, the Ayuntamiento de Pajara took the unilateral decision to cancel the event for this year.
Although this is a frustrating decision for the PWA and for the Rene Egli Centre, and that there were still further possibilities to explore to safeguard the event from our point of view, we understand the decision of the Ayuntamiento and the practical reasons why they felt they had to take it.
The Fuerteventura World Cup is an iconic event that has spanned over 30 years and seen some of the best racing, speed and freestyle competition in the history of the sport. That longevity and pedigree is largely thanks to our partners at the Rene Egli Centre, who’s experience and expertise play an irreplaceable role in making the event run smoothly, efficiently and successfully year on year.
The event would also not be possible without the support of the local community and the Ayuntamiento de Pajara, who welcome us to their beaches, and provide the financial and logistic support to allow us to bring the highest level of competition to Fuerteventura, and we look forward to continuing these successful and prosperous relationships for many years to come.
We want to thank our colleagues at the Rene Egli Centre, Melia Group and the Ayuntamiento de Pajara, for their time, consideration and dedication to trying to make the event happen for this year and we are reassured to know that much of that work will be transferrable to the 2023 event, for which preparations are already firmly underway.
Although 2022 has not progressed as smoothly as we had hoped, there is still much more to come and we are looking forward to the Gran Canaria World Cup which will be the most explosive, highest jumping, most extreme event to happen since 2019. Gran Canaria starts on the 9th July.”

Windsurf in Fuerteventura
There are two places in Spain that come up to everybody´s mind in Spain when the word windsurfing is mentioned: Tarifa in Cadíz (Andalucía) and Fuerteventura. As a matter of fact, windsurfing and kitesurfing are Fuerteventura´s two top attractions.
One good thing about Fuerteventura is that you will be able to enjoy windsurfing no matter what your level is. Pros traditionally go to Jandia (Playa de Sotavento, which name already gives an idea of what you will find there!) whilst Caleta de Fuste is a good place for beginners. Since there are so many kilometers of sandy beaches on the island, you will also be able to find less crowded spots to enjoy windsurfing or kitesurfing in El Cotillo, Corralejo, and Pozo Negro. Kitesurf in Spain has become increasingly popular and the original windsurf world championship of Fuerteventura today also hosts the kitesurf championship.
Wind and kitesurfing in Fuerteventura guide – Contents
Best places to enjoy windsurfing and kitesurfing in Fuerteventura
Caleta del Fuste
The sea is very calm in Caleta del Fuste and this makes it a perfect place for beginners. A day excursion to Caleta del Fuste is a good option since you will be able to combine a taster windsurfing course and a visit to the San Ventura castle (an impressive castle built to repel pirate attacks.
Playa de Sotavento
There is 100% probability you will encounter wind in this 22 kilometers sandy beach located in Jandia. Playa de Sotavento is the island´s number one windsurfing spot, and one of the top places in the world to enjoy this activity. The world championship (part of the world circuit cup) is organized every month of July in Playa de Sotavento in Fuerteventura.
You will also be able to enjoy kitesurfing and find courses for both wind and kite in Playa de Sotavento. This may not be however the best spot on some windy days for total beginners, but the lagoon on the same beach is perfect for both beginners and intermediate levels.
Corralejo
Although this area is not as popular as Jandia for windsurfing, Corralejo offers great windsurfing opportunities and a few companies offer lessons and material hire. The beach is suitable for both intermediate and advanced surfers, but there is a lagoon some 20 minutes drive where beginners will also be able to enjoy windsurfing in Corralejo.
El Cotillo
A rather les known area, El Cotillo is an interesting small town that boasts a golden sand beach which offers excellent windsurfing opportunities for advanced windsurfers. Not a place for beginners. Pleased also note that there are few services on the beach.
Best courses to learn windsurfing in Fuerteventura
On the beach close to Tarifa there is a sufficient amount of space for the different schools to establish their own cordoned-off area, necessary to avoid getting in the way of other swimmers. Courses in small groups (4 people max) including liability insurance ranges from 80 euros, for a basic course, to 350 euros for one week.
The walled area with its medieval castle gives a special charm to the city, where you can relax after a day of wind or kitesurfing and enjoy tapas in a unique setting with restaurants and small shops in the little streets of the old town.
Best courses to learn kitesurfing in Fuerteventura
Around Tarifa, you can participate in other outdoor activities to enjoy the scenery such as mountain biking a
The world windsurfing and kitesurfing championships in Fuerteventura
The world windsurfing championship has taken place in Fuerteventura since 1985. It has always been organised in the Sotavento beach, in the Playa Barca, a part of Sotavento where the tidal lagoon is located.
The championship is organised in such way that ensures it can be enjoyed as a tourist attraction not just for windsurfer fans, but also for thew whole family. Training is offered around those days and equipment can be rented too.
The atmosphere around the days of the championship is fantastic, with many tourists arriving to watch the top professionals at work.
Playa de Sotavento has a lagoon with optimal conditions for practicing for both beginners and intermediate levels. The lagoon extends for over 4 kilometers and it is 200 meters wide, a huge space that provides ample opportunities to enjoy, practice and learn this sport.
Most international windsurfing and kitesurfing stars meet at Fuerteventura to participate in the championship every year.

Costa Calma’s Windsurfing and Kiteboarding World Cup.
In our opinion at Shuttle Direct, Fuerteventura is a brilliant holiday destination. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Africa, this Canary Island has warm breezes and water temperatures all year round as well as endless fine sand beaches which are surrounded by an infinite turquoise ocean.
All these features might make you think that this is the place to be if you’re looking for an agreeable beach holiday (which it is!), but the previously mentioned natural features and weather conditions make Fuerteventura, and especially its Costa Calma, very attractive to a different kind of demographic as well: that of the avid (and professional) surfer.
30 Years of Windsurfing and Kiteboarding World Cup
2015 will be the 30th year that the World Championships for windsurfing and kiteboarding will bring the world’s best board sportsmen together at the Costa Calma to ride the waves and battle for the prize of being the best in their field across a range of four disciplines.
During the event Fuerteventura’s Costa Calma becomes a place full of excitement, where holidaymakers can see the elite of windsurfers and kiteboarders do their jaw dropping stunts in the water. While enjoying the local cuisine in the marquee or having a cocktail on the beach, the quality of entertainment will be world class – and you’ll be guaranteed to come home with some very unique holiday pictures!
In the evenings the fun really breaks out, with live music and a colourful programme of supporting events for all family members preceding legendary World Cup parties that go on until the early hours. You won’t be bored in Fuerteventura during the annual Championships!
[mapsmarker marker=”89″]
What’s On at the 2015 World Cup?
This year, the much anticipated event (both by locals, participants and tourists) kicks off on 24 July with the spectacular PWA Windsurfing Freestyle World Cup, which lasts 4 days until the 28th. After that it’s on to the PWA Windsurfing Slalom World Cup, where windsurfers will compete while racing a winding path, avoiding obstacles along the way. This part of the event lasts from 29 July to the 2 August. The third and fourth disciplines are being battled for between the 3 August and 8 August, when the VKWC Kiteboarding Freestyle & Big Air World Championships take place.
Head to Playa Sotavento to see the breathtaking action from close by.
How to Get to Costa Calma

Windsurfing and kitesurfing on the island of Fuerteventura
The name of the island speaks for itself: in Spanish, “el viento” means wind, and “fuerte” means strong. Ferteventura is located in such a way that the wind blows it from all sides. It is one of the windiest places in the world and the most popular place in Europe for windsurfing and kitesurfing! No wonder the Windsurfing World Cup is regularly held here.
Fuerteventura is the second largest (after Tenerife) and at the same time the least developed island of the Canary archipelago. It is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the capital is Puerto del Rosario (Puerto del Rosario), the monetary unit is the euro.
The population density here is low, the central part of the island is almost uninhabited, and tourism is still a relatively new direction for it. But, despite this, there are excellent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
Climate and conditions
Due to its close location to Africa, only a hundred kilometers away, the season on the island is year-round. The weather is always warm here: the average summer temperature is about +27 degrees, in winter it is not lower than +20 degrees. The water temperature in the ocean, even in the coldest months, does not fall below +20 degrees.
The best conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing in Fuerteventura are from March/April to October/November. The strongest wind blows on the island in summer, in winter – good waves are formed.
Furteventura, along with excellent conditions for active water sports, is the ideal place for a relaxing beach holiday. Snow-white beaches stretching for many kilometers are the hallmark of the island. But there is also something to see here, although you should not count on a large number of attractions. Nevertheless, most of the people come here for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
The best spots on Fuerteventura
Ferteventura has several spots with different conditions and for different levels, which, depending on the time of year, will satisfy the needs of absolutely every windsurfer and kitesurfer.
The most popular places for windsurfing and kitesurfing are: in the south – spot Sotavento (Sotavento) and in the north – spot Flag Beach (Flag Beach) in the resort of Corralejo (Corralejo).

in general the Canarian archipelago. Good wind statistics, a huge sandy beach turning into sand dunes, safe conditions for wheelchairs – these are not all positive aspects that make the spot very popular with kiters. Windsurfers are also allowed to ride here and there are all conditions for this.

Who the spot is for: [ beginners ] [ advanced ]
Ride options: [ flat ] [ chop ]
The Costa Calma spot is not as popular as other spots on the island of Fuerteventura. There is only one station and there is not much equipment on it. The location contributes to slightly less wind and waves. Good conditions for learning. Only windsurfers are allowed to ride. A positive point is the close proximity to the hotels.

History of windsurfing
The prototypes of windsurfing appeared several thousand years ago in Polynesia, Egypt and among other peoples, when people moved through the water in an upright position on a small watercraft with a vertical sail.
According to one version, the history of windsurfing began with the activities of surfers from Hawaii and California in the late 1960s. It all started with big Californian surfboards. In John Milius’ film Big Wednesday, you can see that the surfboards of the 60s were much longer and wider than modern versions. This was due to the desire to ride even the smallest waves. And when there were no waves at all, then someone had the idea to fix the sail on such a board in order to enjoy sliding on the water and make it easier to get to the coast.
Modern Prototype
The boards that we see now were invented in America more than 60 years ago. Until now, there are disputes about who first invented windsurfing and who owns the first patent.
Some believe that it was 12-year-old Briton Peter Chilvers (1958), but officially the American Newman Darby is considered the first inventor of windsurfing. The design of his sailboard (sailboard) was published in the American magazine “Popular Science” 1965 years – it was a diamond-shaped sail, a straight boom on one side of the sail, and the mast was attached to the board with a rope. Together with his brother, they founded the company “Darby Industries” for the production and sale of sailboards. They focused on youth and accessibility. One set was sold for $ 50 and it did not bring success in the end.
Then the Canadians seized the initiative – aeronautical engineer Jim Drake, his former work boss Fred Payne and their friend – American surfer Hoyle Schweitzer (1960). Jim was designing sails and boards, and Fred inspired him with his desire to travel on the river near the house. Jim pitched the sailboard idea to Hoyle, who soon became involved in popularizing the idea.
The first name was “Skate”, then “Baja Boards” and had 6 different designs, one of which was called “Big Red”. They registered a patent and began to produce the first serial sailboards, but under a different name, familiar to us, “Windsurfer” (1967).
In 1967, Jim Drake and Hoyle Schweitzer began producing the first mass-produced Windsurfer sailboards.
These were triangular rag sails with a newly invented boom, improved pivot, fin, centerboard, and a board whose shape was adopted from the Malibu surfboard.
In 1969, Playboy sponsored The America’s Tea Cup regatta on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, where Hoyle and his 14-year-old son Matt demonstrated their Windsurfer.
This caught the attention of the Dutch company Ten Cate. They brought several Schweitzer boards to Europe with the intention of both selling them and using them as an advertising medium.
In 1973, Hoyle fully bought the rights to the patent from Jim and began to develop the business on his own, founding Windsurfing International with his wife Diana.
Hoyle improved and cheapened the design of boards by switching from fiberglass to polyethylene. After initial sales success, Ten Cate became the official European importer of Windsurfer.
In 1977, Ten Cate began manufacturing boards in Europe under license from Schweitzer. In 1979 they began selling their own designs, the TC 35 and TC 39, which they sold with their new board, the Windsurfer Rocket.
The early history of British windsurfing began when Ten Cate brought the Windsurfer to the UK for demonstration at a regatta organized in 1972 by Yachting World magazine. There, Ten Cate used “Windsurfer” to advertise their yachting clothing. One of the first enthusiasts was Clive Colenso, who at 1973 began importing windsurfers to the UK, showing them at shows and organizing races. Initially, windsurfing in Britain was slow, unlike in France and Germany.
The island of Sylt, Germany, hosted the first European Championships in 1976, while there were only a couple of hundred windsurfers in Britain. That same year, a company in Poole, England, bought 100 Surfsailers from a Spanish supplier and sold them very quickly, only to withdraw them when they faced a lawsuit from Windsurfing International for selling unlicensed boards.
Growing popularity of windsurfing.
In the late 1970s, the popularity of windsurfing brought companies from Britain, France and Germany into the industry. But not everyone wanted to pay interest on Windsurfing International’s patent.
Firstly, there was the high cost of the license, amounting to as much as 15% of the price, and secondly, the article describing the work
to Newman Darby, propagated the view that Schweitzer’s work did not represent an original concept, as required by patent law. However, Schweitzer received his patent at 1967, renewed it in 1982, and also received Dutch, UK, Australian and Japanese patents in addition to his original US patent. Any company that violated license agreements either agreed to pay a license fee or had to settle this issue in court.
One alternative was to develop new sails or other designs that could not be considered compatible with the original design. Thus, the Sea Panther company had a kind of “four-tier” boom, while the French Skail, the rider had to keep the sail in the air without a mast. As a rule, these and other alternatives had poor performance.
In 1982, there was an oversupply in the UK and Europe, and the German company Wind Glider, founded by Fred Osterman, was taken over by Defour, owned by Baron Marcel Bick, founder of Bic, the world leader in disposable ballpoint pens. Schweitzer terminated the agreement between him and Osterman and began legal action against Defour. However, Defour decided to file a counterclaim. The basis of the defense was that windsurfing was invented in 1958 by Peter Chilvers.
Peter’s mother testified that in 1958 Chilvers made a sailboard and tested it on the water. The court ruled that Schweitzer’s patent was not valid in the UK. Schweitzer filed an appeal, but the judges again upheld “Defour”. Since that time, British companies no longer had to pay royalties for the production of sailboards.
First Windsurfing World Championship.
An epochal event took place in the Windsurfer class at 1973 in San Diego, USA, where the American Bruce Matlock became the winner.
The following year, in Hawaii, Pat Love and Ken Clyde developed the first trapeze to reduce the strain on the arms. It was a vest-like nylon jacket with a hook attached to it.
In Europe, the first Windsurfer World Championship was held in France in 1975, where Matt Schweitzer, Hoyle’s son, became the winner.
And in 1976, the World Championship was held in the Bahamas, where 13-year-old American Robbie Naish became the world champion for the first time in his career. He also took the world title in the next 1977 in Italy and in 1978 in Mexico.
During this time, Hoyle Schweitzer continued the patent wars, and in 1983 he sued for infringement with the Swiss company Mistral, which won a lawsuit referring to Newman Darby’s drawings.
Patent disputes also concerned the name “Windsurfer” and competitors had to use the word sailboard or surfsail, but soon the model called “Windsurfer” was discontinued and gradually the term windsurfing became a household name.
Windsurfing becomes an Olympic sport.
The popularity of windsurfing in the late 70s and early 80s began to gain huge momentum, especially in Europe, where every third family had a set of sailboards.
Windsurfing made the transition from fashionable to a full-fledged type of sailing and in 1984 was approved as an Olympic sport.
For the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the choice of board was between Hoyle Schweitzer’s “Windsurfer One” and the “Windglider” designed by German Fred Osterman. In the end, the Windglider was chosen because it was a single, strong construction, while the Windsurfer was made of polyethylene and its rocker could be easily changed using heat or weight pressure.
The board “Windglider” was 3.9 m long and weighed about 16 kg, and the sail was 6.5 m2 in size. The use of the trapezoid was forbidden.
The centerboard weighed about 4 kilograms, and, during the course downwind, was on the athlete’s shoulder.
The Olympic distance was 9 nautical miles (~17 km), races were held only among men, and the Dutchman Stefan van den Berg won the gold medal.
First trapezoid.
At 19In 1974 in Keilua, Hawaii, the first windsurfer trapezoid was developed by Pat Love and Ken Kleid. It was a vest to which a hook was attached. Such a trapezoid was used in 1975 by 12-year-old Robbie Naish, but it severely squeezed his ribs. Then Mike Horgan and Larry Stanley developed a modern hook with a curved base to reduce the load.
In 1976, Pat, Ken and Larry patented the first trapezoid and began to produce it under the Windsurfing Hawaii brand, which also owns the first sails with transparent windows, battens, retractable centerboard, length-adjustable boom, pads, leg loops, etc.
At the same time, DaKine designer Barry Holopiter developed the first seated trapeze by simply flipping it over and slipping it over the legs.
Mike Waltz, the era of short boards.
For a long time, windsurfing was very cumbersome, clumsy and slow. Until 1979, when Hoyle Schweitzer’s student, American Mike Waltz, made a real breakthrough by making a short board and riding the waves of Ho’okipa for the first time, Fr. Maui. And already in 1981 he held the first wave and slalom competitions there.
From 1970 to 1981, Waltz was annually among the top three winners of all national and international windsurfing events in the Windsurfer One Design class. And with the advent of freestyle and slalom, Mike became the first owner of three cups, winning in all disciplines at competitions in Okinawa.
Short boards changed the world of windsurfing forever. Mike fundamentally destroyed the concept that the board should be big, heavy and slow. He made a revolution, demonstrating that on a small board you can not only just ride, but also plane very quickly, as well as jump and do tricks. With the advent of the short board, a real boom began in windsurfing: a sharp increase in the number of new windsurfers, an increase in the demand for equipment and the number of manufacturers, and also a new and most spectacular discipline appeared – wave!
Aloha Classic competition. WAVE discipline.
In 1984, the famous Aloha Classic competition was held for the first time on the north coast of Maui at Ho’okipa Beach in the disciplines of wave and slalom. The winners in the overall standings were the Americans Alex Aguera and Dana Daves.
Speed records.
While in the 80’s Hawaii was doing short wave boarding, Europe was developing the concept of boards for speed.
Since 1972, Weymouth, UK, has hosted the world’s first sailing competition, RYA Speed Week. That year the Crossbow I catamaran set a world record of 26.3 knots, and in 1976 its improved Crossbow II set a 36 knot record.
In 1977, Weymouth Speed Week saw the first windsurfers to compete, and Dutchman Derk Theis set the first world record of 17. 1 knots in a Windglider without a trapeze or leg loops.
In 1980, at Speed Trials on about. Maui Dutchman Jaap van der Rest on the board “Ten Cate Special” set a record of 24.45 knots.
Also in 1980, the German Jürgen Hohnscheid and the Australian John Hall developed a sinker that gained more speed but sank under the rider without movement. In 1981, Honscheid took part in the Weymouth Speed Trials, where he set a record of 24.75 knots on a sinker.
In 1982, in France, at Brest Speed Week, the German Philip Pudenz set a record of 26.5 knots on a special board. In the same year at RYA Speed Week, Frenchman Pascal Maka on a custom “Jimmy Lewis” board reached 27.8 knots.
As the boards became more sophisticated, there were problems with the sails, which were made of dacron and had a triangular shape.
In 1983, sails began to use Mylar polystyrene film, which is lighter than dacron and does not absorb water. In the same year, the American Jeff Magnum invented the camber, which provides a rigid sail shape and stability in light and strong winds. For the first time, the camber appeared on the Gaastra sails.
In 1983, at the Weymouth Speed Trials, American Fred Heywood on a custom NeilPryde sail and one of the first seated trapezes in the world broke the 30 knot barrier, setting a record of 30.82 knots. And in 1985, the German Michael Pucher on a serial Cobra 260 board accelerated to 32.35 knots.
July 21, 1986 on about. Fuerteventura windsurfing becomes the fastest sailing sport in the world! Pascal Maka, with a speed of 38.86 knots on a Jimmy Lewis board and a Gaastra sail, broke the 10-year record of the Crossbow II catamaran.
Cheeseroll (Cesare roll).
In 1986, 17-year-old Italian Cesare Cantagalli was the first in the world to perform a forward spin in a jump at the Maui Aloha Classic. This trick was called the Cheeseroll (Cesare roll) and played a huge role in defining the future of windsurfing.
Before that, there were only high and long jumps, as well as Table top and Back loop. And in 1988 at the World Championships in Barbados, Cesare won the final heat with his first double Cheeseroll, which stunned the public and blew the news around the world.
In 1988, at the Seoul Olympics, windsurfing competitions were held on Lechner boards from the Austrian shaper George Lechner.
The final version of the board was available less than a year before the Olympics, the “Lechner Division II” with a 6.5 m2 sail, which was a round bottom board designed for going upwind in light to moderate winds.
Bruce Kendall from New Zealand won the gold medal.
In 1988, Bjorn Dunkerbeck begins his reign as the most successful windsurfer in the world. He has over 100 PWA World Cup wins and 42 world titles across all disciplines in sports.
The peak of popularity in the 90s.
In the 90s, windsurfing becomes a very popular sport and its presence in the world media becomes bigger than surfing.
This popularity attracted significant sponsorship deals that further developed the sport through extensive paid advertising, and many of the world’s best riders such as Robbie Neisch and Bjorn Dunkerbeck became very rich and famous athletes.
In 1990, the F2 Sputnik 270 board was released, on which the Englishman Dave White immediately set a new speed record on a serial board – 39.10 knots.
Indoor: indoor windsurfing.
In the same year, a new discipline Indoor (indoor windsurfing) appeared, which was held at the Palace Omnisport de Paris-Bercy stadium, France. Englishman Nick Baker excelled in this discipline and over the next decade became world champion six times. Three times the Indoor World Champion was the multiple French champion Robert Teritihau, who was the first to do the back loop from the ramp.
At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, the Olympic class was the Lechner A-390, a modified version of the Devision II 390 cm long, with the center of the board shifted back and a mast shoulder strap. The sails were from Neil Pryde, 7.3 m2. Also from this Olympics, races for women began to be held for the first time, and Barbara Kendall from New Zealand won the gold medal. In men, the first place was taken by the Frenchman Frank David.
From 92 to 93, custom board brands like “Strapper” and “Copello” go mainstream and change the future of board manufacturing. Their vacuum sandwich construction was previously only a prerogative in the market.
In 1993, the shape of the boards changed dramatically from “fish sticks” with straight rails, which made it difficult to turn, to “egg” shaped boards. The best PWA riders began to use new prototypes of rounded flatter boards, with foot loops and a mast shoulder set back. The whole world watched with interest what would happen next.
In 1989 shaper Ernstfried Praid first released the “Mistral One Design” racing board, which was lighter and stiffer than its competitors. The board was 235 liters, 372 cm long and weighed 15 kg, and the sail was 7.4 m2 in size. More than 30,000 sets have been produced. She was selected by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) for use in the Atlanta Olympics on 1996 (winners Nikolaos Kaklamanakis (Greece) and Li Lai Shang (China)), Sydney 2000 (winners Christoph Sieber (Austria) and Alessandra Sensini (Italy)) and Athens 2004 (winners Gal Friedman (Israel) and Fustin Mourre (France)) .
Trans-Atlantic Windsurf Race.
In 1998, Bjorn Dunkerbeck wins the freestyle world title for the first time!
That same year, four international teams (Liberty, Greece, Europe and America) race across the Atlantic from Canada to England in the Trans-Atlantic Windsurf Race.
While the team members are in the race, the rest of the participants are left with the more difficult task of staying aboard the Russian icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov, and seasickness was the main problem. These races are also remembered for Robert Teriitehau’s jump into the sea from the top of this ship.
Fragmentation of the windsurf community and disciplines.
By the end of the 90s, the popularity of windsurfing is on the decline. This was due to problems in the sport, including competition licensing and overly specialized equipment for professional athletes that required a lot of experience, which led to the fragmentation of windsurfing around the world into groups of different niches. In addition to internal problems, there was a drop in support from major sponsors caused by the imposition of international bans on cigarette advertising, whose industry was the main source of sponsorship at the time.
In the late 90s, Formula boards were developed and in 1999 the first Formula World Championship was held in Belgium, won by Pole Wojtek Brozowski. After much development and discussion, the Formula rules eventually limit the maximum width of the board to 1 meter, the fin to 70 cm and the sail to 12.5 m2.
Since 1998, at one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, Maui Aloha Classic, slalom and voyage have ceased to be held, Australian Jason Polyakov has won in wave discipline. Next 19In 99, at these competitions, Englishman Nick Baker defeats longtime idol and friend Robbie Naish. American Jennifer Henderson wins in girls.
In the same year, at the PWA stage in Sylt, Germany, the Frenchman Robert Teriitehau tries to do double front somersaults for the first time in competition and in the end is badly injured when falling.
In 1999 and 2000 the freestyle world champion is American Josh Stone, who revolutionized the world of trick windsurfing with his surf style and new tricks of Vulcan and Spock.
windguru.
In 2000, Vaclav Hornik launched Windguru, which forever changed the way windsurfers view the weather. His site began to collect more than 15,000,000 views per month.
In 2000, the Argentinean Francisco Goya became the wave world champion, who won the PWA stages in Ireland and Hawaii, and also became the first in the world to consistently perform double front flips in his races.

Freestyle.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, windsurfing experienced a powerful leap in the development of freestyle. Each year, several new tricks were invented that came from each other, combined together or borrowed from the wave discipline.
Freestyle World Champion 1999 and 2000 American Josh Stone invented and was the first to make the Spock, Spock 540 and Clew1st Spock.
Josh also helped young riders, coached and motivated them, and went on demo tours with them in Europe.
At the same time, the American Kevin Ponchera borrowed the Goiter trick from the wave discipline and performed it on smooth water, calling it Ponch.

- Close proximity to Africa (Sahara desert), because of which the shergi (sirocco) wind blows here in waves, which brings heat and sand. The eastern islands are more arid;
- Persistent trade winds blowing from the northeast. They carry moisture and soften the influence of Africa;
- The influence of the Atlantic Ocean, the cold Canary current, the presence of a permanent anticyclone over the Azores softens the climate. It should be noted that due to the current, there is less precipitation on the islands, but it is not hot on the coastal beaches;
- These islands are mountainous, so the climate and weather are also affected by altitude and topography. This is especially noticeable in Tenerife, La Palma, Gran Canaria – the highest islands in the archipelago. They are said to be “continents in miniature”: the climate varies dramatically from sea level to the coast, where the temperature even in winter rarely deviates from 20 ° C, up to 2000 m in height, climbing to which you can see snow, sometimes even in summer;
- The entire archipelago is characterized by a significant difference in climate and weather between north and south – the northern islands are greener, wetter, the southern ones are dry.

We represent the eight Canary Islands: Gran Canaria is called a continent in miniature. Tenerife has twice been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lanzarote is an unusual island with black and reddish volcanic rocks creating surreal landscapes. Fuerteventura is beach and sea, long stretches of sand and heaven for windsurf . Palm Island is often referred to as the “beautiful island” because it is the greenest of all the islands. On La Gomera, you will see places shrouded in mysticism, which is why it is called the “magic island.” Hierro is a 100% environmentally friendly island, self-sufficient with renewable energy sources. Graciosa is a small, almost virgin island.

Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote
Nature and freedom
This is one of the distinctive features of the Canary Islands, and not by chance. After all, their volcanic origin, combination of arid landscapes with lush forests and spacious beaches, rich biodiversity and consistently good weather make them an ideal place to relax. The nature of the Canary Islands is mesmerizing. To see this, visit four national parks (Teide on the island of Tenerife; Caldera de Taburiente on the island of Palma; Garajonay on the island of Gomera or Timanfaya on the island of Lanzarote) or just any island, because most of their territory is recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve.

Corralejo beach in Fuerteventura
Leisure beaches
And here you are in the Canary Islands! You enjoy the sun and comfortable temperature. Now you just have to choose a beach and enjoy walking barefoot on the sand, basking in the sun for hours or swimming in the ocean. Here you will find spacious beaches with light sand – for example, in the Natural Park of Corralejo (Fuerteventura) or Maspalomas (Gran Canaria). But there are also beaches with dark sand of volcanic origin, such as Charco Verde (La Palma) or Playa del Inglés (La Gomera). There are beaches where you can swim in calm water, because these are natural pools surrounded by rocks on all sides – such as Charco Azul (Hierro) or Charco de la Laja (Tenerife). Some of them are urban beaches and are especially suitable for families: for example, Las Canteras (Gran Canaria) and Las Teresitas (Tenerife). Others stand aside and remain almost untouched, such as Cofete (Fuerteventura) or Famara (Lanzarote). More information can be found on the Canary Islands tourism website.

Cultural events
The islands are full of pleasant surprises. For example, did you know that Tenerife has a city declared a World Heritage Site? This is San Cristobal de la Laguna: stroll along its quiet streets to feel the measured rhythm of life in the Canary Islands. Its architecture is a striking example of the colonial style so characteristic of the Canary Islands. On the island of Gran Canaria, we invite you to go on an archaeological tour of the northern part of the island (between Galdar, Guia and Agaete) to learn about the peoples who once inhabited this territory. The hallmark of Lanzarote is the fusion of architecture and nature in Manrique’s work, represented by spaces such as the Cactus Garden, the Mirador del Río viewpoint or the caves of Jameos del Agua. On the island of Fuerteventura, Manrique’s work is represented by the viewpoint Mirador de la Peña, which offers spectacular views. On the other hand, on the island of La Gomera, you can hear a unique whistle language used to this day. This is the so-called “silbo-gomero”, declared by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of mankind.

Turismo de Canarias
Taste of happiness
It’s always a pleasure to sit down at the table, and especially in the Canary Islands. First, because often it happens outdoors, in the sun and at a comfortable temperature. Secondly, because the islands are rich, light and exotic cuisine. For example, you will find a huge variety of tropical fruits, such as the unique Canarian banana, papaya, mango and many other fruits, from which delicious fresh juices are made here. In addition, there are such simple potato dishes as “papas-arrugadas” , which are usually eaten with traditional mojo sauce. Try popular dishes such as baked parrotfish, clams with mojo sauce or roast goat. Each meal is complemented by local cheeses and wines and culminates in gofio (roasted grain flour) dessert. We are sure that after that you will be happier!

City of San Cristobal de la Laguna

- Investigate if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
- Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
- Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
- One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you’ll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
- Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
- Separate any food you’re carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
- Begin your Canary Islands escape in the bustling city of La Oliva. There’s lots to keep you on the move here, from fascinating attractions like Corralejo Beach to wonderful food, shopping, nightlife and more.
- La Oliva features a desert climate. But before you depart, take a look at what the weather conditions will be like when you’re there. Dry, rainy, hot or cold, it always pays to come prepared!
- Make Las Palmas de Gran Canaria the next place you go to. It’s around 100 mi (160 km) to the west of La Oliva and home to Poema del Mar Aquarium, one of this city’s best attractions.

- February is Carnival time on the island. The Tenerife Carnival takes place mainly in Santa Cruz and is held in the weeks leading up to Lent, rivalling Rio in terms of size and spectacle. The party culminates in a parade through town when the ritual of the Burial of the Sardine takes place. For this tradition, a huge model sardine is carried through the streets followed by weeping mourners, and is eventually burned, marking the end of the festivities.
- Tenerife’s capital city of Santa Cruz boasts a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and visitors are spoiled when it comes to the variety of activities at their disposal. This is one of Spain’s largest ports, with plenty of leafy parks, tax-free shopping, historical theatres, and both white and black sand beaches. The Mercado de Nuestra Señora de Africa is definitely worth a visit. This Artistic Historical Monument features merchant galleries of all varieties surrounding a central courtyard and clock tower.
- Catch the cable car up to the top of El Teide, one of the world’s largest volcanoes and the highest point in the Atlantic Ocean. The peak of the volcano offers spectacular views over Tenerife and the rest of the archipelago. And the high altitude dictates the volcano is snow-capped for much of the winter; a stark contrast to the warm, sunny beaches below.

- Tenerife is the largest and most populous island in the center of the archipelago, with an area of more than 2,000 km2
- Gran Canaria – the third largest island with the largest city of the Canaries – the capital of the island of Las Palmas
- Lanzarote – the northeast island, which the Canarians call “the other island”, and everyone else – the island of fire-breathing mountains
- La Palma – the fifth largest island located in the West, the greenest island of the archipelago
- La Gomera – an island near Tenerife in the southwest, popular due to its large neighbor
- El Hierro – less than 300 km2 in the southwest of the archipelago with a population of about 10 thousand people.
- La Graciosa is a satellite island of Lanzarote in the northeast of the archipelago, the northernmost, but not the coldest island of the Canaries

- The duration of the flight cannot be compared with a flight to countries where a comfortable beach holiday is possible in winter. A flight from Europe delivers 4 to 5 hours depending on the city of departure and the island where you are going. For example, it takes 4.5 hours to fly from Berlin to Lanzarote, and 5 hours from Berlin to Gran Canaria. This fact explains the huge number of Europeans who annually vacation in the Canary Islands
- Comfortable and not too hot air temperature, with low relative humidity (within 50%). If we compare the humidity index with the popular Russian resort of Sochi, then in the last summer it can reach 95% and even 100%. Therefore, if acclimatization almost never happens in the Canary Islands, then when you arrive in Sochi and another resort with high air humidity, you can get really sick or just not feel very good during your vacation. In winter (January, February) in the resorts of the Canary Islands, the temperature is about 20-25 degrees. Why I wrote “on the resorts” and not “on the islands” you will find out when you read the article to the end and understand how the weather can differ even within the same island.
- No poisonous snakes or other dangerous animals. Even in the sand dunes in the south of the island of Gran Canaria, you can safely swim in the sand and are not afraid that you will meet something there that threatens health and life.
- No sharks dangerous to humans. Since the ocean is quite cold, for example, compared to the Indian Ocean, heat-loving marine predators do not like to swim in its waters. Several species of sharks are found off the coast of the Canary Islands, but they are not dangerous to humans and no attacks have been recorded.
- Recreation of European level among people with similar culture and outlook. When visiting Asia, there are a huge number of precautions associated with different religions, customs and mores that are unclear to a Russian tourist, in addition, in the Canaries, unlike Asia, there is quite traditional cuisine and there is no unsanitary conditions.
- Canarians are very friendly and welcoming people. If you want to feel like at a dinner with your family in a restaurant, see open and cheerful people everywhere and enjoy the extraordinary beauty, then you are in the Canary Islands!

- Tenerife is the largest and most populous island on which the highest point of the archipelago is located Teide volcano . Tenerife is the capital of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the most visited island of the archipelago among Russian tourists. You can come to Tenerife and not visit the volcano only if the weather conditions did not allow it, otherwise it is simply not permissible.
- Lanzarote is an island with 300 active volcanoes, that is, a third of all volcanoes on our Earth. The landscapes of the island are not real and it seems that you found yourself on another planet. Those who have visited Lanzarote believe that Teide is just a mountain peak and nothing more, although Lanzarote does not have such high and large craters as Teide, so you should definitely visit Teide in Tenerife and Lanzarote volcanoes before drawing conclusions …

- Tenerife is the largest Canary Island and the most popular among tourists. The area of the island is about 2034 sq. km., about 900 thousand inhabitants live on it. The capital of the island is Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The island is home to the Teide Volcano, the highest point in Spain, the six mysterious pyramids of Guimar, the origin of which scientists still disagree on, and the Basilica of Candelaria, the place of worship of the Black Madonna. Some of the objects of Tenerife are under the protection of UNESCO. Read more…
- Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the archipelago. Its area is 1560 sq. km. The capital of the island is the city of Las Palmas. Gran Canaria is the second most popular tourist island after Tenerife. The island is characterized by natural contrast: covered rocky shores are adjacent to sandy beaches, and high mountains and gorges are adjacent to banana plantations. For this feature, Gran Canaria is called “the continent in miniature”. Read more
- La Palma is an island with an area of 708 sq. km. Most of the area of the island is occupied by chains of high volcanoes, between which there are laurel and pine forests. It is the greenest island in the Canary archipelago. The locals lovingly call La Palma a beautiful island. There are few beaches due to the rocky terrain.
- La Gomera is the nearest neighbor of Tenerife with an area of 370 sq. km. The capital of the island is the city of San Sebastian. Most tourists visit Homera as part of a day trip from Tenerife (you can get to the island by ferry in just an hour). The main attraction of the island is the Garajonay National Park, a relict forest with centuries-old laurels and heathers. Inside the natural park, there is an amazing feeling of something unreal, as if you were in the time of the existence of dinosaurs. On Homer, the Homeric whistle has been preserved to this day, which is always shown to tourists. Once it was the whistle that the locals used to talk to each other. On rough terrain, it was heard at a considerable distance. More
- Fuertoventura is considered the oldest Canarian island. Its area is 1659 sq. km. The relief of the island is characterized by low mountains (up to 1000 meters) and a large number of beaches. This island is chosen by tourists who prefer a quiet secluded vacation.
- Lanzarote is the easternmost island of the archipelago. Its area is 845 sq. km. It is called the “island of fire-breathing mountains” because there are more than 300 volcanoes on its territory. But volcanoes do not frighten tourists who want to admire the unearthly landscapes of the islands.
- Hierro is the smallest of the inhabited islands of the Canary archipelago. Its area is about 268 sq. km. A distinctive feature of Hierro are rocky coasts and contrasting landscapes. A gentle and comfortable descent leads only to the bay of El Golfo. Until the 20th century, the island served as a zero meridian, a reference point for determining geographic longitude. As a holiday, Hierro is suitable for nature lovers.

Cost of living in Tenerife, Spain revealed

A one-room apartment in Tenerife (Canary Islands) or a house in the mountains with an area of 50 square meters costs about 400 euros per month, about the same as a meal for two. This was told to journalists by Russian woman Tatyana Kuznetsova, who has been living on the island for seven years.
“Meat, fish, fruit, vegetables will be normal,” a woman from the Canaries describes the situation. “You can shrink and eat for 200 euros, but it’s very monotonous.”
As a rule, people – not only Russians, but also many who want to move closer to the sea to a warm climate from big cities – come to Tenerife in couples and families. According to Tatyana Kuznetsova, a residence permit (the Canary Islands belong to Spain) can be obtained even by illegal immigrants – those who managed to live here for three years without attracting attention and fully financing their expenses.
On the island, the Russian woman emphasized, a car is needed – the distances have to be covered quite long, a moped is indispensable. A cheap option costs around 500 euros – however, gasoline has almost doubled in recent years due to difficulties in the energy market.

Fuerteventura (Fuerteventura – “strong wind”) – the least known island in the Canary archipelago. However, more than half of its shores are lined with magnificent beaches of white or golden sand, including the famous Playa de Corralejo (in the north) and Jandia (in the south).
Most of the tourist infrastructure in the south of the island is concentrated in Jandia. This natural space is separated from the rest of the territory and is almost completely surrounded by white sandy beaches.
To the west are windward beaches, which are somewhat dangerous for swimming and therefore quite deserted. In the east, sandy beaches stretch for 20 km, and their width in some places exceeds 1 km. There are two tourist centers here: Costa Calma near the lee beach and Morro Jable built by the harbor from where hydrofoils leave for Gran Canaria.
It is interesting to visit the capital and main port of the island – Puerto del Rosario , windmills near Antigua, picturesque villages La Oliva, Pajara and Betancuria , “terrero” arena in Tarajalejo on the sand.
Every year in July-August, the World Windsurfing Championship takes place here, and the strait between the volcanic island of Lobos and Fuerteventura is considered the best place for diving and sea fishing on the islands.
The island has an interactive Cheese Museum – Museo del Queso . It is located in the building of an old mill in the village of Antigua (El complejo del molino de Antigua). The museum, covering an area of 515 square meters, introduces the production of the famous Canarian goat cheese, as well as the centuries-old history of local cattle breeding. The exposition also includes several educational computer attractions. In particular, with the help of a special simulator, tourists will be able to virtually milk a goat, learn how to cook local dishes and make homemade cheese. The Museo del Queso is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00.
Fuerteventura – island of the winds
Let’s start with Fuerteventura. This is one of the most popular places in the world for kite and windsurfing. The very name of the island is translated from Spanish as “strong wind”. Read more →

Fuerteventura
This is one of the easiest and simplest forms to find tours.
The main thing is that you choose the dates yourself, quickly and easily compare prices for different destinations and dates.
“Search for tours from…” – you choose the city from where you are looking for tour options.
For Kazakhstan there is a choice: Almaty, Astana, Aktau, Aktobe, Atyrau, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Uralsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shymkent, Moscow, St. Petersburg
But you can also choose another country, for example Russia, Ukraine or Belarus.
“Where” – choose the country you want to visit.
The most popular destinations are Turkey, Vietnam, Greece, Egypt, India, Spain, UAE, Thailand. Also, if you know a specific place, then in the “Resort” section you can mark the place you need.
Here you can immediately mark both the resort and the hotel (the number of hotels is limited to 10 hotels).
“Departure period” – choose the period of time in which you would like to fly for your vacation.
We recommend setting 5-10 days from the planned date of departure, as the price for neighboring dates can be very different. This is suitable for those who do not have a very rigid schedule of holidays and recreation. Our system will offer the most advantageous option for you. If you have a rigid planned departure date, then set the date 10/21/2016 by double-clicking on your date.
“Nights” – here you choose the number of nights of the tour. It is nights – NOT days.
Again, we recommend making a range of 5 nights (e.g. 8-13), as sometimes charters have a clear schedule, and sometimes the price for a longer time, for example 13 nights on a charter flight, will be lower than 10 nights on a “scheduled flight” .
You can now click “Search” and we will start an online search for tours according to your advanced parameters.
But you can also use the convenient advanced options, with which you will get a selection of exactly the tours you want.
“Tourists” – here we select the number of adults and children on your tour.
Be sure to indicate the age of children, because different airlines have their own discount systems for children. In addition, if a company of 6 adults and 2 children is traveling to you, then make a request: “3 adults and 1 child” – and then multiply the price of the tour by 2. Because the system gives the price for exactly one room (including airfare-accommodation-transfer- food).
“Food” – What kind of food do you want? Just breakfast or all inclusive? You can select multiple items. The default is “any”.
“Category” – what level of hotel or apartment or villa do you want? Choose 2-3-4-5***** stars, villas, apartments, boarding houses, sanatoriums.
The default is “any” category. You can choose several (for example, only 4 and 5 * hotels).
“Price” – if you know the exact amount that you want / can spend on the tour – enter “from” and “to” in a currency convenient for you (the default is tenge or dollar). Then our system will show you tours in the range you need, which will undoubtedly facilitate your choice.
Beach Line – on the beach? Or does it matter what?
“Tickets available” – checked box, tours will be displayed where there are still plane tickets.
“Flight included” – and this box will show tours with air travel. By default, the flight is on, because you are interested in a full tour package. If you only need a hotel (ground service), uncheck the box. But then the transfer will also disappear from the package. All that’s left is hotel accommodation.
“Find” – our system searches for all tours that match your requirements. As a result, a list of hotels and tours comes out, with hotel names, hotel category, hotel reviews, hotel location maps, hotel ratings, departure dates and all parameters (room category, meals) and, most importantly, price. This is the current price. Book now.

Vídeo ‘Alemana-Erraldoiak’ de Ene Kantak
No es el último vídeo de cualquier de ‘regetoneros’ de éxito, es el del grupo Ene Kantak con los gigantes de la Txantrea y se ha convertido en uno de los más visto en Youtube. Con más de 4,3 millones de reproducciones, ‘Alemana hipnotiza a los más pequeños de la casa y las madres y padres lo saben. Convertida casi en un himno infantil, esta canción suma descargas cada día, animadas también por la aparición en el vídeo de los capitanes de Osasuna Roberto Torres y Oier Sanjurjo.
Ene Kantak es un proyecto musical creado por Nerea Urbizu y Urko Oskoz, en 2011, madre y padre, además de profesores del modelo D, interesados en crear material en euskara “para poder educar a nuestro alumnado y txikis en nuestra lengua y vivir y disfrutar en euskara”. Con esta finalidad optaron por crear canciones, para lo que sumaron a mitad de su primer proyecto a Jesús Irujo. “Para trabajar la coordinación y pasarlo bien, decidimos que cada canción tendría una coreografía sencilla destinada al público infantil”, explican en su web, enekantak.org, convencidos de que existía una demanda importante de este tipo de música, “no vinculada a ninguna religión, que aborda temas como la naturaleza, lo que disfrutamos alrededor de la mesa en las reuniones familiares de esta época, etcétera”.
Los componentes de Ene Kantak decidieron destinar parte de los beneficios obtenidos por sus discos y espectáculos a colectivos que trabajen por el euskera “y que les pueda venir bien nuestra ayuda, por pequeña que sea”.

Best Things to do in Los Gigantes 2022 – Night Life – Excursions
Los Gigantes is a popular holiday destination on the west coast of Tenerife. The name Los Gigantes means: the giants. It owes its name to the gigantic cliffs that surround it, in the time of the Guanches the cliffs of Los Gigantes were also referred to as the wall of hell. Los Gigantes is only a 30-40 minute car drive from Tenerife’s south airport. In addition to admiring these magnificent cliffs that rise up to an altitude of 800 metres, there are many more things to do nowadays in Los Gigantes. More information on the subject can be found below.
The best beaches of Los Gigantes
In Los Gigantes you will find 2 beautiful beaches, one of which is right next to the harbour of Los Gigantes and its name is Playa de Los Gigantes. Although the black sand beach of Playa de Los Gigantes is not very spacious you will have a great view as you are very close to the magnificent cliffs of Los Gigantes! The other beach is named Playa de la Arena and is considered to be one of the most stunning black sand beaches in Tenerife. Near this popular beach in Los Gigantes you’ll find many restaurants, apartments and walking paths. A great walking idea in Los Gigantes is to walk from Playa de la Arena to Tenerife’s most mysterious natural swimming pool known as Charco del Tancón.
6 Fun things to do
There are plenty of things to do when staying in Los Gigantes. But it is also possible to visit Los Gigantes on an excursion that starts from Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos. This is available through a Tenerife whales and dolphins trips, quad tour or even via a spectacular Tenerife helicopter tour starting from Costa Adeje all the way to the cliffs of Los Gigantes.
Excursions starting from Los Gigantes
The Club Canary office and website offer a wide selection of excursions departing from Los Gigantes. Below you will find the top 3 most booked activities of tourists who stayed in Los Gigantes.
1: Siam Park is Tenerife’s most popular water park and cannot be ignored. You can reserve your Siam park tickets directly from the Club Canary website with a transfer service from Los Gigantes included! The bus that picks you up in Los Gigantes only leaves on Wednesdays and takes you to the entrance of Siam Park, which is located in Costa Adeje. After a wonderful day enjoying the many slides of Siam Park the bus will also take you back to Los Gigantes.
2: Most people say that you cannot leave Tenerife without having seen the volcano El Teide. This is because the national park of El Teide is astonishing. But did you also know how wonderful El Teide can be at night? Therefore on the number 2 position is the excursion: stargazing in Tenerife. This popular excursion will introduce you to El Teide in night under the guidance of an expert who will guide you in observing the stars and other planets using lasers and telescopes. Teide by night excursion also includes pick-up points in the Los Gigantes area.
3: Going on a jet ski in Tenerife is extremely popular especially in the Costa Adeje area. However, there is also a jet ski rental in Los Gigantes. Naturally, this is a great adventure as you cruise along the cliffs of Los Gigantes. The nice thing is when you book on time you can be picked up for free! More information about this Los Gigantes jet ski safari can be found here.
Boat excursions to Los Gigantes
Whale and dolphin watching is one of the best things to do in Tenerife. Because these wonderful animals can be admired all year round in the ocean areas close to the Canary Islands. If you want to hire a boat in Tenerife or go on a shared whale watching excursion, the most popular choice is to depart from the harbor of Costa Adeje. In case you want to go on a boat from Costa Adeje to Los Gigantes you will need at least 2 hours to get there, and then 2 hours to return back to Costa Adeje. A very popular whale watching trip to Los Gigantes is with the Freebird Catamaran. The Freebird offers a beautiful cruise on their catamaran where you will pass Los Gigantes and afterwards arrive in the magnificent bay of Masca for a break. But when you are looking for more privacy and luxury than the White Heaven boat departing from Puerto Colon is a great option to travel with towards Los Gigantes.
Nice walks in Los Gigantes area
Los Gigantes has a pleasant boulevard along the ocean with spectacular views where you can enjoy a lovely walk. While walking along this promenade of Los Gigantes you will find many shops, restaurants and cafes. A good idea is to plan your walk in Los Gigantes in such a way that you can end with a beautiful sunset. Club Canary has prepared a special report in which you can find the sunset times of Tenerife. When you want to take a long hike from Los Gigantes you can follow the Barranco del Santiago which leads you into a high located volcanic landscape. You can also find more challenging walking routes of Tenerife from here.
How is the nightlife in Los Gigantes
In Los Gigantes you will find Highland Paddy where you can regularly find live music, or where you can attend a karaoke night. However, if you want to experience the ultimate nightlife of Tenerife it’s wiser to come to Playa de Las Americas, because here you will find all sorts of different clubs to choose from. More information can be found on our blog which has been dedicated to the party scene of southern Tenerife. When you are looking to meet new people in Los Gigantes during the day, then the trendy Oasis swimming pool is definitely a good place for you to visit!

La censura de YouTube es una amenaza para la izquierda – Rebelion
El régimen de censura de YouTube pretendía erradicar la desinformación y evitar el aumento del extremismo. En cambio, ha supuesto un ataque a los medios de comunicación independientes y de izquierdas.
ay algo raro que ocurre con los
números en ciertos temas». Rania Khalek se acuerda de todas las veces en
que YouTube pareció fastidiarla. Hubo una ocasión en la que Khalek,
presentadora de Dispatches from the Underclass
en Breakthrough News, una organización de medios de comunicación online
de izquierda, contó con el historiador Vijay Prashad para discutir cómo
la guerra en Ucrania estaba remodelando el orden global. La
retransmisión en directo fue un éxito para el canal de noticias
políticas sin ánimo de lucro —«Creo que fue la más vista que hemos
tenido nunca en una retransmisión en directo», dice Khalek—, pero al día
siguiente los miles de visitas por hora que había recibido se redujeron
drásticamente.
No fue la única vez. Tras observar
que toda la cobertura del canal sobre la guerra en Etiopía funcionaba
especialmente bien, Breakthrough viajó allí para producir una serie de
reportajes, visitando las zonas de guerra y hablando con la población
local. «El primer par de reportajes funcionó bien, pero de repente hubo
un gran bajón», recuerda. «O toda nuestra audiencia etíope desapareció
por completo, o algo raro está ocurriendo». Una historia similar, dice,
con su trabajo sobre temas relacionados con Palestina.
Las cosas no eran así normalmente en
la plataforma. «Cuando un vídeo obtiene un cierto número de visitas en
la primera hora, te haces una idea de lo bien que le va a ir durante la
semana», dice. «Pero a veces, un vídeo tiene un rendimiento increíble en
la primera o segunda hora, y luego baja».
Khalek es sólo una de las muchas
figuras mediáticas de izquierdas que se han visto afectadas
negativamente por las políticas de moderación de contenidos de la
plataforma. Supresión, desmonetización, eliminación directa de
contenidos: a medida que ha crecido el impulso de la censura
tecnológica, aparentemente para apuntar a la «desinformación» y al
extremismo en línea, los medios de comunicación independientes de
izquierda han sufrido todo esto y más, atrapados en la red expansiva que
los censores de YouTube, demasiado entusiastas, con exceso de trabajo o
automatizados, han lanzado sobre el contenido de sus plataformas.
Postes en la máquina
Jordan Chariton conoce las políticas
de «moderación de contenidos» de YouTube. El fundador y presentador del
outlet independiente Status Coup ha visto cómo sus vídeos han sido
eliminados y suprimidos en serie por la plataforma desde que lanzó el
outlet en 2018, un patrón que, según él, se está intensificando.
«Creo que la supresión ha empeorado y la censura ha empeorado, específicamente después del 6 de enero y de COVID», dice.
Incluso antes de los disturbios en el
Capitolio, dice Chariton, YouTube había retirado siete u ocho vídeos de
él mismo o de su camarógrafo entrevistando a los partidarios de Trump y
rebatiendo sus delirios de «Stop the Steal». Entonces, el 6 de enero,
el videógrafo Jon Farina fue a DC para filmar una transmisión en vivo de
la protesta del día para Status Coup, que resultó ser un gran triunfo.
El número de espectadores en directo alcanzó los treinta mil, un récord
para el medio, y, habiendo capturado lo que se convertiría en un clip
icónico de un oficial de policía del Capitolio siendo atascado contra
una puerta por los manifestantes, Status Coup licenció sus imágenes a un
conjunto de medios de comunicación nacionales y extranjeros, incluyendo
ABC, CNN y NBC, que, como Chariton le dijo a Matt Taibbi, utilizaron
las imágenes y los recuerdos de Farina como base para su propia
cobertura. Menos de un mes después, desapareció.
El material violaba la «política de
spam, prácticas engañosas y estafas» de YouTube, según informó la
plataforma a Chariton, recordándole que «no se permite el contenido que
avance afirmaciones falsas de que el fraude generalizado, los errores o
los fallos cambiaron el resultado de las elecciones presidenciales de
EE.UU. en 2020».
«Para colmo de males, los puntos de
venta a los que concedimos la licencia pudieron colgarlo en YouTube sin
problemas», dice Chariton. En abril de 2021, calculó que YouTube había
retirado hasta diez vídeos de Status Coup de entrevistadores rebatiendo
las afirmaciones de los partidarios de Trump sobre las elecciones, y les
advirtió de que una nueva infracción les llevaría a una prohibición de
una semana. «Sinceramente, no sé cuánto tiempo más podrá sobrevivir
Status Coup», tuiteó entonces, con las vistas y el crecimiento de
suscriptores cayendo en picado.
«Parece que se trata de un algoritmo robotizado que no sabe distinguir entre desmentir mentiras y avanzar en ellas», afirma.
Status Coup fue víctima de un cambio
tardío en la política de la plataforma tecnológica, propiedad de Google,
después de que YouTube recibiera fuertes críticas por no seguir el
ejemplo de Twitter y Facebook a la hora de limitar el alcance de los
contenidos que cuestionan el resultado de las elecciones. Ryan Grim, de
The Intercept, se enfrentó al mismo problema cuando era el copresentador
progresista designado de Rising, el programa matutino de política de
The Hill, que fue suspendido en la plataforma por reproducir clips de
dos discursos de Trump sin que los presentadores identificaran
explícitamente que contenían afirmaciones falsas sobre las elecciones,
incluso cuando se referían a Trump como un «loco».
«El propio algoritmo de YouTube ha
creado todo un movimiento que cree en falsas teorías de la conspiración,
pero si entrevistas a las personas reales que han envenenado, te opones
y publicas las entrevistas, te quitan el canal», tuiteó más tarde Grim.
No es ni mucho menos una práctica nueva de YouTube, que una vez retiró
un vídeo que criticaba el revisionismo del Holocausto porque confundió
el escrutinio del concepto con la promoción. Peor aún, ni siquiera fue
eficaz: la creencia de que las elecciones de 2020 fueron robadas en
realidad creció y se extendió a medida que YouTube y otras plataformas
intensificaron sus esfuerzos de censura, probablemente porque, como
concluyó el Centro Berkman Klein para Internet y la Sociedad, la campaña
de desinformación sobre las elecciones de 2020 fue «dirigida en gran
medida por las élites políticas y los medios de comunicación».
Pero la desinformación electoral no es el único tema al que parece dirigirse YouTube.
«Cuando hago algo con Amazon en el
titular en un livestream, generalmente no supera los doscientos
espectadores en directo, mientras que otros temas están entre los
doscientos cincuenta y los cuatrocientos», dice Chariton. Cuando los
espectadores se suscriben a un canal, se supone que reciben una
notificación hasta tres veces al día cada vez que hay un nuevo vídeo o
livestream, algo que los administradores del canal pueden ver en su
extremo. Así es como Chariton sabe que YouTube ha tomado la costumbre de
no enviar notificaciones sobre los vídeos de Amazon, Flint y el
fundador de WikiLeaks, Julian Assange.
The Serfs, un podcast de comedia que
cubre las noticias políticas desde una perspectiva de izquierdas, vio
cómo sus dos canales de YouTube eran eliminados sumariamente sin una
huelga o advertencia, la primera vez sobre esa misma base de estafas y
malas prácticas, y más tarde, por acusaciones de «acoso, amenazas y
ciberacoso». En otro incidente, cuando el podcast hizo un sketch sobre
Mark Randazza, un abogado defensor de la libertad de expresión que
representa a supremacistas blancos y otras figuras de extrema derecha,
miles de usuarios lo marcaron al instante como discurso de odio.
«Las dos veces [que se retiraron los
canales] fueron por lo que sospecho que fueron campañas de marcaje
masivo», dice Lance, el presentador de The Serfs, y YouTube señala los
vídeos de Serfs que apuntan a Joe Rogan, al YouTuber PewDiePie y al ex
alumno de Infowars Paul Joseph Watson. «Por lo demás, es la muy habitual
desmonetización que supone discutir cualquier cosa relacionada con
LGBTQIA+».
Voces autorizadas
Al igual que con todas las
plataformas tecnológicas, el régimen de censura de YouTube —o
«moderación de contenidos», como lo llaman eufemísticamente sus
defensores— se intensificó realmente en 2016 y después. A medida que los
políticos y los medios de comunicación liberales recurrían cada vez más
a la desinformación en línea para explicar las elecciones de 2016 y
otras conmociones políticas, una serie de escándalos sobre contenidos
infantiles extremistas e inapropiados produjeron una serie de revueltas
de anunciantes denominadas «Adpocalypse». En respuesta, YouTube emitió
una amplia orden de desmonetización contra todo el contenido «no apto
para anunciantes», una categoría que incluía «temas controvertidos» y
«eventos sensibles». Los canales de noticias y de política sufrieron un
golpe inmediato.
«Pasé de ganar un dinero decente a
ganar cero dólares y cero centavos de la noche a la mañana», ha
declarado Kyle Kulinski, presentador del programa de entrevistas
políticas de izquierdas Secular Talk.
Siguieron más escándalos sobre el
discurso de odio y el extremismo, y YouTube intensificó su programa de
censura en respuesta. En 2019, lanzó una política de promoción de lo que
llamó «voces autorizadas» en la plataforma, que el jefe de producto
Neal Mohan definió como «fuentes de noticias que tienen un historial de
credibilidad y relevancia», una publicación en el blog de YouTube que
señala a CNN y Fox como ejemplos. La consejera delegada Susan Wojcicki
señaló igualmente «cualquier cosa que vaya en contra de las
recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud» como ejemplo de
lo que se eliminaría, una categoría que, en varias ocasiones, habría
incluido otras voces autorizadas, como los Centros de Control y
Prevención de Enfermedades.
El resultado es un sistema de censura
de dos niveles, confuso y opaco, en el que los medios pequeños e
independientes tienen pocos recursos cuando se producen errores, lo que,
como ha reconocido el propio YouTube, ocurre con regularidad.
Al haber pasado del programa Hill’s
Rising al programa Breaking Points, financiado por los oyentes, Krystal
Ball vio de primera mano cómo funciona esta dinámica. Ball agradece que
ella y el copresentador Saagar Enjeti hayan podido «jugar en el cajón de
arena del Capitolio” y aprender qué temas se desmonetizan y cuáles no,
dice, lo que informó su decisión de optar por un modelo de negocio
basado en los suscriptores. Pero la diferencia de trato desde que se
independizó es palpable.
«Saagar y yo hacemos lo mismo que la
Colina, en general nuestras opiniones son más o menos las mismas o
incluso más altas, pero ya no recibimos los segmentos súper virales que
antes», dice. «Si eres un periodista independiente y no tienes esa
credencial de ‘fuente confiable’, te golpean. Lo negarán, pero hemos
visto con nuestra propia experiencia la forma en que el contenido va en
una dirección frente a cuando estás bajo el paraguas corporativo».
Los moderadores «te dan una
explicación vaga o general» de por qué se ha censurado un vídeo, dice,
mientras que el funcionamiento del algoritmo sólo se puede discernir con
la experiencia. Ocasionalmente, obtendrán más información de un
contacto directo que tengan en YouTube. Pero incluso eso es más que la
mayoría de los canales independientes de la plataforma.
«Los controles y equilibrios para los
canales más pequeños son abismales», dice Lance, de The Serfs. «Los
canales con millones de suscriptores tienen representantes reales con
los que pueden contactar. Pero si eres un pequeño izquierdista con
quinientos suscriptores, lo más probable es que tu canal sea retirado
simplemente si recibe unos cientos de informes porque alguien publicó un
enlace en 4chan».
«Se limitan a citar la huelga y a
decir que es desinformación electoral», dice Chariton. «No te dicen
dónde estaba en el vídeo, qué se decía. Eso es casi censura en la
sombra».
Cuando hablamos, Chariton había
recurrido recientemente con éxito un «strike” dictado por los
moderadores. Pero a los creadores de contenidos sólo se les concede una
apelación. E incluso ese, sospecha, sólo ganó porque levantó un
escándalo en Twitter, respaldado por otros nombres de la izquierda como
Ball y Grim.
Los Serfs no tuvieron tanta suerte.
Cuando publicaron un vídeo cómico en la manifestación de camioneros en
Vancouver a principios de este año, donde Lance dice que «gritaron un
montón de tonterías”, «cosas como: ‘Justin Trudeau está poniendo su
semen en el suministro de agua. No te bebas su semen’», dice. El
programa fue eliminado definitivamente de su canal por ser información
médica errónea, y su apelación fue rechazada. Y aunque los grandes
canales que tuvieron la oportunidad de construir su audiencia y
establecerse antes de los cambios de YouTube después de 2016 podrían ser
capaces de capear estos problemas, todo tiene un efecto escalofriante
en los puntos de venta más pequeños y nuevos.
«A veces tengo que detenerme en
historias que antes no habría detenido», dice Chariton. «Ni siquiera
sabes qué es lo que puedes decir o hacer que puede violar los términos
de YouTube». Debido a que el algoritmo parece enterrar la información
real sobre el terreno —lo que Status Coup se enorgullece de hacer—
Chariton dice que se ha encontrado con que tiene que «hacer cosas más
tópicas y llamativas para que la gente entre por la puerta».
«Es mucho más difícil para las nuevas
voces independientes”, dice Ball. «Hay un montón de voces maravillosas e
inteligentes que pueden ofrecer un nuevo desafío al sistema y que
simplemente nunca serán escuchadas».
Es hora de preocuparse
Hoy en día, la izquierda tiende a
despreciar el tema de la censura tecnológica. Sacar a relucir este tipo
de preocupaciones es muy probable que provoque apatía, si no un apoyo
total a la política. Después de todo, la respuesta típica es que los
centros de poder van a censurar inevitablemente a la izquierda pase lo
que pase; así que, ¿por qué no seguir la corriente y al menos eliminar
algunas voces nocivas de la extrema derecha en el proceso?
Pero la gente con la que hablé veía
las cosas de otra manera. «Lo que acaba ocurriendo es que, aunque los
gigantes de la tecnología supriman a la extrema derecha, la izquierda no
tiene dinero detrás, y la derecha sí. Pueden crear su propia
plataforma», dice Khalek. «Entiendo la inclinación, pero no vivimos en
un país donde la izquierda manda. Vivimos en un país donde todo en
Internet es propiedad de multimillonarios».
Chariton cambió de opinión sobre este
mismo tema después de experimentar de primera mano los peligros de los
esfuerzos de censura de las empresas. Después de pedir que los medios de
comunicación que promovieran la campaña «Stop the Steal» de Trump
fueran retirados del aire a raíz del 6 de enero, Chariton renunció al
tuit un mes después, tras sus propias peleas con los censores de YouTube
por sus imágenes del evento. Las corporaciones que controlan la prensa
estadounidense, escribió, estaban ahora trabajando con Silicon Valley
para purgar los pocos medios independientes de izquierda que existían.
«Una de las grandes razones por las
que me he mantenido en la crisis de Flint durante años es porque los
medios de comunicación dominantes han impulsado la mentira de que ya se
ha acabado. He estado allí más de veinte veces y no es cierto», dice.
«Una de las razones por las que los medios de comunicación dominantes
son capaces de declarar narrativas es porque los medios independientes
no tienen micrófono. Y cuando los medios independientes son censurados,
sólo tienes un montón de ovejas».
«Es peligroso creer en una política
que desafía al poder», dice Ball. «La izquierda será golpeada más
consistentemente porque desafía más consistentemente al poder».
De hecho, los creadores de contenidos
de derechas siguen prosperando en YouTube y otras plataformas
tecnológicas, e incluso son favorecidos por ellas, y han recurrido a
dinero de capital riesgo para poner en marcha sus propias plataformas
libres de censura, como la competidora de YouTube, Rumble. Fuera de
Internet, la derecha tiene ahora el mayor propietario de emisoras de
televisión locales del país, y al menos tres redes de cable distintas,
incluyendo, a través de Fox, varios de los programas de mayor audiencia
en las noticias por cable.
También es imposible no notar que, a
pesar de un régimen de censura en línea que ha aumentado radicalmente
desde 2016, los problemas de desinformación y extremismo político
parecen haber empeorado. Tampoco ha disminuido la creencia del público
estadounidense en una variedad de falsedades. La censura tecnológica, al
parecer, ha demostrado ser una solución inadecuada para los mismos
problemas que justifican su existencia. Y para la izquierda, puede
reflejar o incluso estar contribuyendo a un desorden posterior a 2020
que ha ayudado a alimentar una desilusión con la labor de persuasión y
construcción de coaliciones.
«Creo que tenemos que creer en la democracia y tener confianza en que podemos participar, en que podemos debatir y en que nuestros argumentos son lo suficientemente fuertes como para ganar el día», dice Ball. «En el momento en que se va por el camino de pensar que el problema son las personas individuales que necesitan ser silenciadas en lugar de los grandes sistemas que necesitan ser reformados, se hace imposible la solidaridad y la acción colectiva». «Es una forma de antipolítica», concluye.

Alcorisa presenta sus fiestas a lo grande con los Gigantes y Cabezudos como pregoneros
Noche «muy esperada» e ilusionante para Alcorisa, que presentó este sábado sus fiestas mayores y a los Representantes de la Juventud y la Infancia 2022, protagonistas de la noche. Lo hizo a lo grande, ante más de mil personas y con la Comparsa de Gigantes y Cabezudos como pregoneros. Su participación activa en el municipio durante tantos años, su fomento de los gigantes y cabezudos, su constante ampliación de bailes e incorporación de nuevos miembros que continúen la tradición la ha convertido en una de las asociaciones más involucradas en el mundo cultural y festivo del pueblo.
«Los gigantes son sinónimo de fiesta y ser los pregoneros es muy gratificante. Es un reconocimiento al trabajo que hemos venido desarrollando en nuestros 20 años de historia», destacó su actual presidente, Daniel Martín. Aunque la comparsa se fundó oficialmente como asociación en el 2003, algunos gigantes como los reyes datan de 1940 y existen referencias a ellos desde la década de los años 30. Por aquel entonces eran las peñas del municipio quienes se encargaban de sacarlos en fiestas y días patronales.
En la actualidad, con sus trece gigantes y sus seis cabezudos y en torno a 50 integrantes, la comparsa se encarga de amenizar fiestas allá donde se le solicita con sus bailes, música y coloridos trajes. Es la más numerosa de Aragón, y precisamente por su afán de continuar mejorando, en los últimos años han renovado la vestimenta de tres parejas de gigantes y de todos los cabezudos.
Fueron queridos personajes como el Rey Jesús, la Reina Alejandra, Don Quijote o Dulcinea, entre otros, quienes se encargaron de tomar las riendas del acto del pregón y hacer un pequeño recorrido por la historia de la comparsa, además de realizar sus característicos bailes para el disfrute del público. «En una especie de obra de teatro han sido ellos los que han contado las diferentes vivencias, un pequeño resumen, porque tenemos para escribir un libro. Hemos disfrutado mucho actuando pero también preparándolo», destacó Daniel Martín.
A parte de la actuación los tres presidentes de la historia de la comparsa, –Manuel López, Alejandro Añón y Daniel Martín-, subieron al escenario agradeciendo y compartiendo con el público las vivencias de la comparsa. «Aprovechamos la ocasión con nuestros gigantes como testigos de honor para daros las gracias a todos los que nos acompañáis en cada momento en el que salimos a recorrer las calles. Sin vosotros esta comparsa no tendría sentido», declararon desde el atril. Como no podía ser de otra manera contaron con el acompañamiento de Los Dulzaineros. No faltó el agradecimiento a Manuel Cirujeda por su labor «incansable» en el cuidado de los gigantes.
Momentos antes del pregón y el espectáculo ofrecido por los protagonistas, se llevó a cabo el acto de proclamación y presentación de los Representantes de la Juventud y la Infancia, quienes también tuvieron unas palabras para el público. «Esperamos que estas fiestas sean inolvidables, que nuestras calles y plazas se llenen de alegría, buen ambiente y color», destacaron. Este 2022 Lorena Lozano y Lucía Peralta representan a la Juventud alcorisana. Por su parte Rocío Espallargas, Laura Gracia y Óscar Aznar, representan a la Peña Taurina. En cuanto los representantes infantiles subieron al escenario Edurne Lecina, Paula Torres, Martina Pueyo, Martina Félez, Jorge Aznar e Iker Ferrer.
Por su parte, el alcalde de Alcorisa, Miguel Iranzo, recalcó en su intervención que espera que estas sean unas fiestas «muy especiales» gracias a la buena respuesta del público. «Hemos estado más de 1.000 personas, demostrando la constancia y el compromiso de la gente con su pueblo», recalcó. Durante su emotivo discurso destacó el «honor» de representar a Alcorisa y no se olvidó de la labor «incansable» de todos los colectivos esenciales durante la pandemia del covid, así como de los que ya no están.
Por su parte, el concejal de Fiestas, José Luis Guillén, quiso poner en valor la gran cantidad de actos programados para todos los públicos, así como el trabajo de la concejalía junto con la Comisión de Fiestas para hacerlos posibles. «Tenemos que volver a salir a las calles y representar a nuestro pueblo de la mejor manera posible en estos 7 días de fiestas con la alegría que siempre se desprende en Alcorisa», reivindicó.
El acto, presentado por la periodista de la Cadena SER Teruel Concha Hernández, contó con la participación especial de Marisol Aznar. Los fuegos artificiales, que iluminaron el Calvario, pusieron el colofón final a un acto que no se vivía desde 2019. Además, cabe destacar que también la banda de música amenizó la velada.

Beaches of Los Gigantes
Playa de la Arena is considered the best beach in the resort. It is covered with black volcanic sand and has a fairly rapid depth gain, which makes it not the best place for families with children. Like most beaches in Tenerife, there are almost always waves here, but tourists swim. The beach has a shower, toilet and sunbeds, cafes and restaurants.
Playa Chica is located next to the small port town of Puerto de Santiago. Its infrastructure is poorly developed and it is not popular with tourists.
Playa de los Guios is located right next to the main local attraction – the majestic cliffs of Los Gigantes. Of the amenities on the beach there are only sunbeds. There are usually few tourists.
Hotels Los Gigantes
There is only 1 hotel in Los Gigantes itself – book Stil Los Gigantes. Look for tours to this hotel. In total, there are more than 20 hotels and apartments in the district, which are rented out for a period of several days.
Attractions and activities
The cliffs of Los Gigantes are the highest in Spain. This is the main attraction of the resort. They are so popular that people come to see them from all the resorts of the island, despite the fact that they have to overcome quite significant distances. However, believe me, the spectacle is worth it.
Those wishing to see something else besides the famous rocks can be offered a mandatory visit Siam Water Park . He has long managed to fall in love with tourists for the variety of entertainment associated with water attractions.
In addition, there is also Loro Park , one of the most visited places on the island. In it you can see a huge number of parrots of a wide variety of colors, colors and species. Surprisingly, there is also a penguinarium, which is considered the largest in the world, as well as the best European-level dolphinarium! Is this not enough? Then welcome to the glass aquarium, which is more like a huge tunnel in size, in which giant sharks swim, and, thanks to the special location of the aquarium, all this happens right above your head.
Yacht port . Here you can rent a boat or yacht and go fishing, diving or walking around the Canary Islands.
There is no nightlife like in the southern resorts of Costa Adeje and Las Americas, so young people will be bored in this resort.
How to get to Los Gigantes
There are no direct flights from the south and north airports, you can only get there with a transfer to Las Americas on routes 473 or 477. Most tourists prefer to order a taxi from Tenerife airport to Los Gigantes even before departure, or rent a car . The journey will take 1-2 hours.

12 must-see places in Tenerife
The question often arises of what to see on your own and what sights of Tenerife you can visit during a week in the Canary Islands, we have made for you a selection of the main interesting places and activities that are worth doing during a tour in Tenerife. You can get to Tenerife by a direct charter flight from Kyiv.
Whale and Dolphin Tour
From the port of Los Gigantes there are two-hour excursions on a small boat for 15 euros or four-hour excursions on a large ship for 33 euros. From a pirate ship, they are allowed to bungee jump into the ocean to see dolphins (if there are no big waves). I would like to note that it doesn’t happen every time and only every second (according to our statistics) is lucky to meet whales. But for 15 euros, we definitely recommend you try it.
You can buy an excursion on the spot or at any tourist kiosk in the city of Los Gigantes.
This will take 2 to 4 hours without travel time.
Mount Teide and its surroundings
Mount Teide is the highest point in the Atlantic Ocean and is best reached by car, but can also be reached by bus from Puerto de la Cruz or Las Americas. You can read more about buses here. To climb to the top of the volcano, you don’t need to walk at all, since you can get to the cable car by car, and the cable car takes you almost to the very top. It is best to buy tickets for the cable car at the hotel, hotels have a general system for buying tickets, so this is not a problem for them.
At the top of the volcano, the temperature sometimes drops to minus ten degrees during the day and there is a strong wind, so be sure to take warm clothes. In addition to climbing to the top, you can also visit the crater of the volcano, for this you need to obtain permission from the local authorities, this can be done online.
This will take from 3 hours, including travel time.
Shopping
Tenerife and other Canary Islands is a free economic zone, on the islands taxes are 4.5 times less than in other Spain. Therefore, low prices for equipment and clothing. The best shopping in Santa Cruz and its surroundings.
Diving or snorkeling with big turtles in Playa del Puertito
GPS coordinates of the metsa where they swim: 28°06’48. 0″N 16°46’04.3″W or 28.113329, -16.76786 8 hours without travel time.
Visit Maska Gorge and return by boat
Maska Gorge is one of the most beautiful places on the island. The traditional way to visit it is to come to the gorge by car or bus. Leave the car in the parking lot and go from its beginning to the ocean on foot (about 1.5-2 hours walk), and then on the boat, which are constantly standing there and waiting for tourists, sail to Los Gigantes for 12 euros. From Los Gigantes in the gorge behind the car, you can return by taxi or bus with one change.
This will take from 3 hours without travel time.
The best water park in the world – Siam Park
The zoo has a performance with trained killer whales three times a day, fur seal show (5 times a day), dolphin show (4 times a day), parrot show (6 times in a day). It is better to look at the performance time on the zoo website or find out at the entrance. There is a free shuttle bus from Las Americas to the zoo. You can spend from two hours to the whole day at the zoo. Please note that the zoo has been seen in cruel behavior with animals, there are many articles about this at the link.
This will take 2 to 6 hours without travel time.
Surfing in Las Americas
In Las Americas there is a “surfer quarter” (located near Burger King) where there are many surf schools. Renting ammunition for half a day costs 15 euros, a two-hour lesson with a trainer 25-35 euros per person. Skating takes place on the beach opposite McDonald’s. In our opinion, there are very good schools and waves for beginner surfers. You should not be afraid of stones, as the lineup is located at a depth and the whole process takes place at such a depth that the stones do not interfere. Professionals surf on the northern coast, as the waves are higher and stronger there.
It will take from 2 to 8 hours without travel time
Walk through the parks and promenade of Puerto de la Cruz
Puerto de la Cruz is the first resort in Tenerife, it does not have such number of hotels as in the south of the island. But there are many parks and a pretty promenade. Also this city has a Spanish flavor.

In interesting times interesting discoveries are made.
On the evening of May 31st the White Hole will be opened.
Black holes (in which time and space collapse and rays, plans, relations, ideas disappear) have been discovered for a long time. White holes (which, on the contrary, are a source of radiation of energy, light, novelty, meanings) have so far been considered hypothetical objects.
The first White Hole was discovered by the Dolphin Embassy in February 2020. Since then, it has been localized about ten times in various cities of the world and, according to experts, this time it will happen in St. Petersburg.
The theme of the evening is “Exit Babylon”.
How to get out of it when it is everywhere, and most importantly – inside us? The last day of spring will smoothly flow into summer, and we, if possible, through the Black Hole – into the White. .

Circumstances of force majeure – the one that begins to act through us, changing us.
When we go so far as to forget not only her name, but the very fact of her existence, she brings us back to herself so that we can be born while we are alive.
You find yourself locked in your own house alone with a person living inside your skin, from whom even with an electronic code you cannot escape.
In this space of yours no one is interested in who you are for the outside world: the only question is who is inside you.
At the species level, conditions have been created for the completion of the past. If you take advantage of this, “the new man will be in place of the old.” Hatched from this cocoon, what do we want to be born again?

December 5, Yaroslavl, Tedxstrelka Park
Miracle – this is an extremely low probability event, in which from the point of view of a materialistic picture the world is absent or a causal relationship cannot be determined. The reasons for such events are beyond the scope accessible to modern means of objective measurement and analysis. A miracle is the realization of the best of the existing possibilities, which, it would seem, violates the accepted laws. Therefore, such events are most often referred to as unknown “accidents”.
Man is the greatest miracle of the universe, because by its nature, it is the bearer and conductor of the miraculous, capable of embodying these possibilities – to work miracles. And at the same time, Man is the greatest paradox, in most cases he does not want to know anything about his true capabilities, does not believe in them and chooses a completely different way of life and interaction with the world.

It is said that once a student came to the master for answers, and he asked him what was the main problem of human life. “In the fact that a person does not find answers to the main questions?” the student asked. “No. It’s that he doesn’t find questions worth looking for answers to.”

SANCTUARY

audio-visual performance
In a world where we are all inextricably linked, there is no more time: there is nothing to consume but ourselves. In a world where we are all inextricably linked, there are no more distances: shooting here, you inevitably hit yourself. In a world where we are all inextricably linked, there is no more approximation: here you get exactly what you give.
Within the former ways of thinking and acting based on consumer “conquest of the world”, there are no longer solutions for the present.
Mankind is a creative organ of the universe, and the moment we realize this, a grandiose leap will be made in the development of the world.
Dolphins and whales are the most ancient consciousness on the planet. They live in this house 50 times longer than we do.
A change in attitude towards them is our true initiation, the transition from barbarism to maturity. If we learn at least not to kill or consume them, maybe we will finally stop killing ourselves.

7 reasons why you need to visit Spain’s Canary Islands this summer
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
Madrid, Barcelona, Ibiza and Seville are all Spanish destinations you may have visited, or at least heard of. But many U. S.-based travelers aren’t quite as familiar with Spain’s Canary Islands, thanks to their far-flung location that’s actually closer to Africa than Spain.

This exotic seven-island archipelago — Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma — features volcanic black sand beaches, Spain’s highest peak, Teide, at 12,188 feet, and its own unique Canarian traditions, culture and gastronomy.
And with a brand-new, nonstop flight option from the U.S. to these Spanish islands, it’s time to add the Canaries to your travel bucket list. Here’s why.
They’re easier than ever to reach
United is launching the only nonstop flight between the U.S. and the Canary Islands from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Tenerife South Airport (TFS). Flights begin operating June 9, 2022, on United’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft three times a week, making it easier than ever for U.S. travelers to visit the islands this summer and beyond.

Once in Tenerife, you can fly to the other islands or access them via ferry. It’s also possible to fly from the U.S. nonstop to a number of other European hubs, then hop over to the Canary Islands.
The Canaries, especially Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, are popular among European travelers, meaning there are frequent flights from destinations like London, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Dublin and many other spots. Fly with full-fare carriers or take advantage of cheaper prices and fly with low-cost carriers like Ryanair, WizzAir, EasyJet and Jet2.
The Canary Islands are extremely affordable
Despite the rise in summer travel prices, the Canary Islands remain a surprisingly affordable travel destination for American visitors, even more so now that the euro and the dollar are almost equal. The islands offer all types of accommodation, dining, drinking and tourist experiences from budget to luxe, but even the most luxurious options tend to be on the less expensive side.

For example, one of the most coveted hotels on Tenerife, the Ritz-Carlton Abama, has rates starting at 338 euros (about $356) per night in August. For comparison, the Ritz-Carlton Waikiki Beach in Hawaii starts at $755 per night on the same dates.
Families can opt for affordable vacation rentals with amenities such as sea views and shared pool access for around 100 euros a night — and less for couples traveling without children. Wine prices hover around 3-4 euros per glass, and meals can cost as low as 10 euros per person at traditional Canarian restaurants. Even all-inclusive resorts are reasonably priced, with the average rates starting around 200 euros per night in August for a family of three.
Car rentals are also shockingly affordable, sometimes as low as 15-20 euros per day if you use local car rental companies like Plus Car or Orlando. Compare that to the United States, where car rental costs are higher than ever, currently more than $80 a day.
And, the further off the tourist track you go, the more affordable the prices become, especially when it comes to dining and drinking.
Travel to the Canaries year-round
The Canary Islands are lands of eternal spring. With sunshine and pleasant temperatures all year long, this archipelago is one of the few spots travelers can count on for beach weather in Europe during all seasons. While winter evenings may be a bit chilly and Atlantic water temperatures might be rather cold, visitors can usually count on daytime highs close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and 85 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, with spring and fall somewhere in between. It rarely rains on the Canaries.

The reason it’s so warm is that the islands are closer to Africa than Europe. However, it can get very windy, thanks to warm winds blowing across the Sahara, so expect a light to heavy breeze, depending on the island and time of year you’re visiting.
Also note that on islands like Tenerife and Gran Canaria, the north is usually cloudier and slightly cooler, whereas the south is sunnier and warmer. Factor this into your travel and accommodation plans if sunny beach days are important to you.
Discover every kind of beach imaginable
The Canary Islands have beaches for every traveler, with plenty of sand and sun to go around.
There are many white sand coves with shallow waters perfect for families, such as Amadores on Gran Canaria or Las Vistas in Tenerife. Surfers will love the high winds and white sands at Flag Beach on Fuerteventura or Médano in Tenerife. Windsurfers should head to Sotavento, a lagoon-style beach on Fuerteventura where even small children can learn to windsurf.

Volcanic black sand beaches can be found on all the islands — top spots are El Benijo in north Tenerife, and the savage waves of Nogales in La Palma. For wilder white sands, consider Papagayos in Lanzarote, part of Los Ajaches National Park, or Playa de Cofete in Jandia Natural Park, Fuerteventura — to reach this immense stretch of empty golden sand backed by reddish volcanos, you’ll have to drive off-road.

And the windy, 1,000-acres nature reserve of blustery sand hills in Gran Canaria which overlook the sea — the Maspalomas sand dunes — actually feel Saharan. One of the most unique beaches is Popcorn Beach on Fuerteventura, where the white algae fossils that line the shore actually look like popcorn.
Travelers wanting to experience truly far-flung beaches should consider visiting the smaller islands like La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Ringed with primarily black sand, these islands have fewer tourists and therefore quieter, more pristine beaches.

Active travelers can hike, surf, dive and more
The Canary Islands offer lots to do beyond just beautiful beaches. Hikers will find hundreds of trails throughout all seven islands in a variety of landscapes. Top hiking spots include the Anaga Forest in Tenerife, a damp, wooded microclimate that feels almost like Costa Rica, or the UNESCO-designated Garajonay National Park on La Gomera, which preserves an ancient, subtropical laurisilva (laurel) forest.

Visitors also can enjoy various volcanic experiences on the Canaries. There are tours through Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park (it covers almost a fourth of the island), cable car rides to Spain’s highest peak (Tenerife’s Teide volcano) and ATV rides through Fuerteventura’s arid, crater-pocked hills.

The waters of Gran Canaria and Lanzarote draw experienced divers to famous sites such as the labyrinth-like La Burrera in Lanzarote or La Catedral and the Aringa Marine Reserve in Gran Canaria. Divers can wiggle through lava caves, float among parrotfish, damselfish, barracuda and turtles, and explore wrecks and steep cliff walls. Both snorkelers and divers will love El Hierro’s Restinga Marine Reserve, home to a large population of manta rays and grouper not too far from the shore or Fuerteventura’s tiny Lobos island, where the shoreline is teeming with marine life.

Daredevils can also parasail, rock climb or rappel at many sites throughout the islands.
The Canary Islands cater to families, couples and beyond
Travelers that want to relax with their significant other or spend time together as a family will find plenty to do. Families can enjoy nature activities, like the aforementioned hiking or volcano tours. There’s also the Siam Water Park in Tenerife, which is one of the largest in Europe. Each island has a capital city and small villages, many of which offer chances to visit museums, squares, harbors, botanical gardens and more.

Couples also have plenty of adults-only hotels to choose from for a honeymoon or romantic vacation. The largest and most populated islands like Tenerife and Gran Canaria have the biggest selection of options when it comes to dining and nightlife, especially within their respective capital cities of Santa Cruz and Las Palmas. Maspalomas in Gran Canaria is known for being especially LGBTQ-friendly.
Each of the islands produces wine and there are 10 different official Designations of Origin (DOP). Visitors can tour many of the unique volcanic wineries that dot each island and taste the different varieties.

Each island has its unique attributes

While you shouldn’t miss experiencing Spanish destinations like Madrid, Seville or Barcelona, the Canary Islands are also worth a visit — especially if you’re looking for an affordable summer vacation or a winter dose of sunshine. Each Canary Island is full of its own natural wonders and hidden gems, so consider adding one (or several) of the Canaries to your next European trip.

When to visit the Canarian Islands
CANARY ISLANDS WEATHER
Thanks to the Canarian Islands’ location off the coast of Africa, this holiday destination is a year-round attraction, offering sunny skies and warm weather from the middle of Summer to during the Christmas holidays.
As a family-friendly location, school holidays and summer are the busier times to visit any of the many islands, driving prices up higher but with more attractions and seasonal entertainment available to match the influx of tourists. For those looking for a quieter holiday, choose off-peak seasons such as Spring or Autumn for the best experience.
How to get there?
The ideal way to get the Canarian Islands is by a straightforward flight to one of the destinations’ five airports, on Tenerife, Lanzarote, Las Palmas, Fuerteventura or Santa Cruz de la Palma. Often, excellent deals can be found on flights, and the islands are also a favourite destination of cruises and boat tours.
As a Spanish-owned territory, a passport is needed to travel to the islands if you are travelling from outside the area. The average flight time from the UK to the islands is around 3-4 hours, depending on where in the UK you’re flying from and which airport you’re landing at.
Which hotel to choose?
The Zenith
For those who enjoy travel and accommodation with that extra touch of luxury, touring the Canary Islands on this beautiful cruise ship is the perfect way to soak in the local culture and sunny weather. Featuring travel to Gran Canaria, Tenerife and the beautiful Moroccan coast, this luxury liner will get you where you need to go.

The culture at the Canarian Islands
The Spanish culture is known for its vibrant festivals, fun fiestas and colourful events, and the Canarian Islands are no exception.
For those who enjoy the party lifestyle, the annual La Palma Danza del Diablo festival isn’t one to miss, with a massive dance party and copious fireworks to finish the evening off.
Santa Crus, Tenerife, takes Spanish culture one step further with a local carnival that’s full of glitz, glamour and amazing costumes that are ideal for the whole family, and not one to miss.
Finally, for those looking for a bit of European tradition, the Canarian Islands go for Christmas in a big way, complete with lights, Christmas meals available across the islands and special festive events ideal for children to enjoy.

Our practical advice for the Canarian Islands
Thanks to the Canarian Islands’ location just off the coast of Africa, the climate is often hotter than expected for those visiting the islands for the first time – while at night, the temperature can drop to minus figures. Ensure you pack appropriately with items both for the daytime heat and evening cool, as well as applying copious sun cream to prevent burning.
For those with small children, ensure you stay out of the heat when the sun is highest – and don’t forget an umbrella or something waterproof in case you’re met with one of the islands’ brief but dramatic rainstorms.
What to bring back from the Canarian Islands
With so much to explore and do in and around the Canarian islands, knowing what souvenirs to choose can be a difficult task. In larger towns, a wide array of different tourism and gift shops exist selling everything from personalised name drawings to shell-based items and traditional Spanish fare.
Visitors have also been known to bring back their own bottle of black volcanic sand to commemorate their visit to the volcanic islands within the Canaries, which is also available from a variety of shops and tourist entertainment locations.
What currency to use?
As a territory belonging to Spain, the currency of the Canarian Islands is the Euro, and the usual rules apply when it comes to the withdrawing of money and use of credit cards throughout Europe, with some charges potentially applying on conversion.
What time difference
The Canary Islands sit within the WET, or Western European Time Zone, and as such, there is no time difference between here in the UK and there, making the islands the perfect location to avoid a case of jet lag that could otherwise dampen the holiday mood.
What language is spoken at the Canarian Islands
The primary language of the Canarian Islands is Spanish, though the majority of locals, especially in tourist towns, speak fluent English which allows for easy communication at entertainment venues and in restaurants across the islands.
How to get to the Canarian Islands
To visit the Canarian Islands from abroad, flights are recommended to one of the islands’ five airports – but once you’ve flown in, there is a range of different ways to travel on and around the various islands.
Boats are generally available for transport between islands as well as around the many coastlines of the Canary Islands, as well as easy access to rental cars and shuttle buses to and from accommodation to some of the most popular venues and entertainment locations.
What to pack for your holiday at the Canarian Islands
As with any stay in a warmer climate, it’s important to be prepared for the hotter weather with your wardrobe, as well as ensuring you have plenty of warmer options for the colder night time.
Ensure you’ve packed plenty of sun cream, too, especially for younger holidaymakers, though the majority of items will be available in the many tourist shops and stands throughout the local towns and villages.
How long to stay
As a relatively compact and easy to access location, for many families of holidaymakers a week in the Canarian Islands is plenty of time to discover a lot of what the islands have to offer. Though in peak season a couple of weeks allows for a more leisurely visit to soak in the local culture and enjoy more of the seasonal activities on offer.
Restaurants on site
The Canary Islands offers a wide variety of different restaurants and cuisine choices to suit just about any palette, from traditional Spanish dining to Italian or English-style menus. Of course, there are plenty of ice cream stands and shops to pick from too during the day, and plenty of locations selling local snacks and treats also.
Family activities, for teenagers, children, babies
The Canarian Islands are the ideal place for a family holiday, with hundreds of child and teenager-friendly entertainment options to enjoy, from safari parks to zoos, water parks to beaches. Many hotels also feature smaller, safer pools and activities for toddlers and smaller children to help them enjoy their holiday too.
With many resorts and hotels relatively well-contained and self-sufficient, offering a little independence to older children is easy too, especially when it comes to enjoying the pool and on-site shops.
The Canarian Islands: What budget to plan?
The Canary Islands can be a relatively low-budget holiday, depending on exactly how much you want to get done in your visit, with some activities potentially adding hefty price tags onto your vacation time, especially for families where entertainment is a must.
But for those on a lower-end budget, the Canaries offer lots of free and cheap options, from beautiful beaches to excellent hiking and walking routes that are ideal for a more laid-back holiday. On the other end of the spectrum, hind-end cruises and luxury restaurants are always available.
No matter what your budget limitations, the Canarian Islands have something for you.
Environment
As a collection of volcanic islands, the native flora and fauna of the Canarian Islands are entirely unique, with a fascinating landscape, black-sand beaches and some interesting wildlife to discover. For those who prefer the great outdoors on their holidays, they’re sure to not be disappointed when met with the unique and beautiful landscape of Tenerife, Lanzarote or Gran Canaria.
Safaris and national parks further help to preserve the local landscape and allow visitors to understand the local ecosystem and population of the island by countless native species and plants.

everything you need to know about it ? Marca Canaria
Canarian rum is as closely linked to the character and culture of the archipelago as its beaches, volcanic landscapes and mild, eternally spring-like climate.
Few images are as idyllic as that of enjoying this Canarian drink while watching the sunset on any of its islands.
The classic brands of Canarian rum
The history of rum is closely related to the history of the Canary Islands. It was from the Fortunate Islands that the first sugar canes, the raw material for rum, were sown in America.
The person in charge of transporting them was Christopher Columbus himself, during his second trip to the New World, in the year 1493. A year later, the first plants had already flourished.
Since then, the Canary Islands have never ceased to occupy a very prominent place in the world’s rum industry, with hundreds of prestigious brands such as Arehucas, Guajiro, Cocal and Artemi, among others.
Arehucas Rum
Belonging to the century-old Arehucas Distilleries, an industry that produces numerous liquors, its rum is the most outstanding and one of the best in Spain.
Among its variants, Arehucas honey rum, Carta Blanca and Carta Oro stand out, the best selling ones in the archipelago for more than half a century.
The distilleries are located in the municipality of Arucas (hence the name), on the island of Gran Canaria. They were founded in 1885, and their success was such that already in 1892 they obtained the title of Official Supplier of the Royal House, a privilege that was granted by the then Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Austria.
Arehucas rum began to become popular in the 1940s.
Rum Cocal
The Cocal Distilleries belong to the San Bartolomé de Tejina Distillery, founded in 1948. The brand is recognized worldwide for its liquors and rums of artisanal production and high quality.
Following the tradition of the Canary Islands, the honey rum of this family distillery mixes the most exquisite aged rums with honey, sugars and cane and molasses spirits. The result is a highly successful Canary Island honey rum, both in the archipelago and abroad, with exports of more than 40,000 litres a year.
Cocal rum has an intense aroma of orange peel and cane, with attractive floral notes. Its color is amber with orange edges, with a sweet and unctuous flavor with some soft acid shades.
Ron Guajiro
Canary Island rum that also belongs to the San Bartolomé de Tejina Distillery, and is one of the most awarded Spanish rums in the world.
Guajiro rum reaches exceptional standards, with a unique production process and natural ingredients.
Ron Artemi
Canary Island rum produced in the Artemi Liqueur Factory in Telde, Las Palmas, which is distinguished by its natural aromatic extracts and the addition of honey. It is a very sweet and tasty rum in the mouth, ideal for drinking cold alone or in combination.
Peculiarities and curiosities of the Canary Islands rum
Canarian rum has, in general, a bright, golden and translucent tone that becomes more intense the older the rum is.
Its unmistakable aroma and taste make it ideal to enjoy on ice, in a refreshing mojito or in the traditional cubalibre.
In the town of Arucas, home of the Arehucas Distilleries, the monks have been distilling the beverage from sugar cane in the monasteries since at least the eighteenth century.
Although the beginnings of rum in the Canary Islands were on the island of Gran Canaria, at present the island of Tenerife also has a very strong presence on the market.
Typical of the archipelago is the Canary Islands honey rum, which even has a specific geographical designation: Ronmiel de Canarias. It is made from molasses or eau-de-vie, with a quantity of honey that reaches 2% of its total volume.
Different ways to drink canary rum
As we have said, canary rum can be taken in different forms, either alone or in the form of a mojito or cubalibre. However, there are different combinations with this typical Canarian drink that will surprise you.
Honey rum with cream
To prepare this exquisite cocktail you will need canary honey rum, cinnamon and whipped cream.
You will only have to fill two thirds of a glass with the honey rum and complete the rest with whipped cream, sprinkling it with the cinnamon. A “dessert” of scandal.
Mai Tai
For this cocktail you need the following ingredients: 60 ml of golden Guajiro rum, 60 ml of white rum of the same brand, 30 ml of lemon juice, 30 ml of grenadine, 30 ml of dry Triple, 30 ml of soda and 4 ice cubes.
It is prepared by placing the 4 ice cubes inside a long glass or a cup and pouring the Guajiro rums, the grenadine and the lemon juice. Add the soda until the glass is full.
To present it, decorate it with a slice of lemon and a cherry.
Blue Hawaii
The ingredients of this cocktail are: 60 ml of white canary rum, 30 ml of blue Curaçao, 30 ml of orange juice, 30 ml of pineapple juice and 4 ice cubes.
Put all the components of the Blue Hawaii into a shaker and shake it well for a few seconds. Pour the mixture into a glass and decorate it with a triangular slice of pineapple. Both the taste and the look are simply sensational.
Strawberry Daiquiri
Its ingredients are: 30 ml of Arehucas white rum, 30 ml of Triple Seco, 30 ml of lemon juice, half a spoonful of sugar, 5 strawberries and 5 ice cubes.
Put all the ingredients, except the sugar, in a blender and process until you get a velvety texture. Serve Strawberry Daiquiri in a frosted sugar glass.
Tasting a Canarian rum in any of the many ways it can be served – and we assure you that we have left many of them in the inkwell – is one of the best ways to enjoy the Canary Islands, one of the most wonderful paradises in the world.

The Canary Island Connection | Cigar Aficionado
The magazine advertisement shows a space shuttle view of the Canary Islands, a small group of atolls located off the northwest coast of Morocco. The perspective gives you the impression that the islands, a province of Spain, are in the middle of nowhere, cut off from the rest of the world.
The image of isolation may sound slightly melodramatic, but it’s not far from the truth when it comes to cigars. Although cigarmakers in the Canary Islands produce eight to nine million premium cigars a year and have made some recent inroads into the U.S. market, they remain virtually unknown outside of Europe, and not without reason. With some exceptions, Canary Island cigars sold in the United States have been inconsistent in quality and slightly overpriced.
That hasn’t always been the case. The Canary Islands have a long-standing cigarmaking tradition dating back to the eighteenth century, and many of the key cigar factories in Havana were established by former Canary Islanders. Canary Island cigars had a strong U.S. following through the 1960s and ’70s, mainly due to the Menendez and Garcia families, who earlier had established the reputation of Cuba’s H. Upmann factory. They had left Havana for the Canaries after the Cuban Revolution, setting up a factory on Gran Canaria island. Their key brand, Montecruz, was top quality, the leading premium cigar brand sold in the United States in the 1960s.
Today, times are different in the Canaries. A quick trip last autumn to the islands’ major cigar manufacturers, primarily on the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma, underlined the problems facing cigar producers there. Name almost any impediment to producing a good premium cigar, and the small band of island cigar companies are facing it–from a lack of tobacco and poor processing techniques to old equipment and disinterested workers.
This said, however, one of the best cigars I have ever had outside of Havana was a Churchill-sized cigar I picked up from a roller’s bench in a Tenerife factory run by CITA (Centro Industrial de Tabaqueros Associados), the dominant force in the Canarian cigar and cigarette business. It was rich and satisfying, with a gorgeously caressing draw and all the aroma and flavor of a great cup of espresso. I didn’t want to put it out even when it burned down to my fingertips. Unfortunately, another cigar of the same size and brand that I tried a few weeks later was unsmokable, underlining the ongoing problem with inconsistent quality.
The chief factor that differentiates Canary Island cigars from most others is the strong tradition of using Cuban tobacco in their blends. Cigar, cigarillo and cigarette producers on the islands have always used tobacco from two of Cuba’s prominent growing areas, the Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. The former is the same area that produces great Havanas (or “Habanos,” as the Cubans like to call their hand-rolled smokes), while the latter region traditionally produces a strong, dark tobacco for cigarettes.
Since the early 1990s, however, Canary Island cigar manufacturers have not been getting the quantities of Cuban tobacco they need due to Cuba’s production problems. Moreover, the recent dramatic increase in cigar production in Cuba has exacerbated the shortage. “It gets more and more difficult obtaining tobacco from the Cubans,” says one Canary Islands tobacco man. “Not only do they need the tobacco themselves, the crops have not been as successful as they say.”
Nonetheless, the advantage of using Cuban tobacco in a cigar blend is worth the hassle. Cuban leaf adds strength and spice to a blend that other tobaccos cannot replicate. Canary Island cigar producers certainly are convinced that it works. “Cuban tobacco in Canary Island cigars is a longtime tradition,” says Imeldo Rodriguez, the key tobacco buyer for CITA, the largest cigar manufacturer on the island, which makes close to six million premium smokes a year with such brands as Penamil, Condal and Goya. “We always use a bit in the filler, and for many years we used Cuban binder, although it’s more difficult now and we use more Dominican tobacco. The Cuban tobacco gives you much better aromas and flavors to your cigars. “
But not for smokers in the United States. Canary Islandcigars sold in the States cannot have Cuban tobacco in their blends because of the American embargo against Cuba. “Our cigars for the U.S. market are admittedly lighter than our normal ones produced here,” says Fernando Wanguemert, the general manager of CITA’s cigar division. “We changed over the Cuban tobacco for other tobaccos. We had to.”
So, Canarian cigars that Americans have the opportunity to smoke have very little to do with the top-quality ones available on the islands. Many are bland, look-alike smokes with few distinguishing characteristics other than where they were rolled. The blends are typically dominated by tobacco from the Dominican Republic as well as some from Brazil and Nicaragua. Binders come mostly from the Dominican Republic and Indonesia, while wrappers originate mostly in Connecticut and Indonesia.
Some are better than others. The best Canarian cigars that this magazine has reviewed so far are all made and/or distributed by one company, Marcos Miguel Tobacco Corp. Some of their La Regenta, Cara Mia, Monte Canario, Casa Martin and Don Xavier brands have garnered ratings as high as 86s and 87s.
Some Canary Island cigar manufacturers claim that they also use homegrown tobacco in their blends, mostly from the tiny island of La Palma. However, top global tobacco brokers contacted for this story dispute that claim, saying that very little, if any, quality tobacco is still grown in the Canaries. One tobacco broker started laughing when he heard the Canarian manufacturers’ claim.
The criticism doesn’t stop some local cigar producers fromstaunchly defending their tobacco heritage. “The best cigar blend in the world is La Palma and Cuban tobacco,” claims Enrique Vargas, who makes cigars on La Palma under his family name and says he uses healthy amounts of La Palma leaf. “It is a marriage made in heaven. The La Palma tobacco is more expensive, but it is better quality than the Dominican Republic or any other tobacco. “
Judging from the homegrown tobacco in the factories and fields, what is purported to be La Palma tobacco is certainly not the quintessential leaf. Most of the Canary Island tobacco I saw being used in cigar production had not been cured or fermented properly, showing green and gray rot spots and other imperfections. This rotten character has come through in many of the magazine’s tastings of Canarian cigars. The tobacco leaves in the few acres of fields I visited were as thick as shoe leather and extremely small; not what you look for in premium tobacco for hand-rolling large-size cigars.
One farmer I visited on La Palma had an ingenious but not very legitimate method for curing his tobacco–the leaves were hung on wooden poles about two feet above the earth and covered with plastic sheeting. It might be a good way to grow hothouse tomatoes, but not to dry tobacco.
“We don’t use Canary tobacco,” says Juan Baretto, the general manager and owner of La Regenta, which makes its namesake smoke and other cigars on the island of Gran Canaria. “The quality just isn’t good enough in general, though it certainly grows well. The real problem is the curing. It isn’t done properly. So it’s basically raw tobacco.”
Every cigar manufacturer spoken to here acknowledges the difficulty of getting quality tobacco from any source. The Canaries are simply not a priority for growers of quality tobacco in Latin America and the Caribbean, especially with the demand from manufacturers in their own regions. “It’s a shame,” says Baretto, “because we can make such amazing blends with tobaccos from all over the world. In addition, we have very talented rollers. Why do you think people came to the Canary Islands after they left Cuba? We had great rollers. We had the best rollers in the world. They didn’t go to the Dominican Republic.”
Canarian cigar manufacturers often reminisce about the good old days, when they had all the tobacco, workers and sales that they needed. In the 1970s, Canary Island cigars had a strong following in the United States, mostly with such brands as Don Diego, Flamenco, Montecruz, Casa Buena and Don Alvaro (short filler). Montecruz sold nearly seven million cigars a year, mostly in the U.S. market, which annually consumed close to 20 million cigars from the islands at the time. That was in a total premium cigar market of 50 million to 55 million. The popularity of Canary Island cigars continued until the early 1980s, when prices substantially increased because of changes in duties as well as labor cost increases after Spain entered the Common Market, in 1985. The price increases literally priced Canary Island cigars out of the market.
“It was an impossible situation,” says Jose Seijas, now the manager of Consolidated Cigar Corp.’s massive factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, who at the time helped run the company’s operations in the Canary Islands until they were shut down in the early 1980s. “Labor costs simply became too much. We had to move our operations to the Dominican Republic.” Consolidated bought out the Menendez and Garcia factory, Insular Tabacalera SA (INTASA) in the early 1970s and averaged about 15 million cigars a year, but then moved the operations to La Romana.
Some Canarian cigar manufacturers say that the islands are still recovering from Consolidated’s exodus, since the company had employed almost 800 people. Today, most Canary Island cigar rollers still work from home. They had no place to go after they lost their jobs with Consolidated. These independent rollers, or chincalleros, make cigars for various manufacturers, many of whom supply them with the tobacco and specifications for cigars. By using a freelance workforce, companies don’t have to pay the high local wages (about four times the rate for rollers in the Dominican Republic) and high social security fees.
However, the main manufacturers, such as CITA,Vargas and Baretto, have been moving more and more rollers into factories. “You have to do this to assure quality,” Barreto says. “Otherwise, you really can’t control what the rollers are doing.”
Another way some producers have controlled quality is to use machines. CITA uses a number of machines to produce some premium cigars and partially produce some other premiums, particularly Penamil. “We are sure the quality of the bunch is very good this way,” says Rodriguez. “I am sure that most people could not tell the difference between a handmade and machine-made bunch for a cigar.”
Nonetheless, the machine-bunched Penamil has yet to be a successful brand outside of Europe. U.S. sales of all Canary Island cigars reached almost 5.2 million last year, but this was after the regional government invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising and marketing (including in this magazine), promotional dollars, a continuing investment that the government will slowly phase out over the next few years. “We may be swimming against the tide,” admits one government representative when asked about the future of Canary Island cigars without advertising. “If the dollars are gone, we might be smoking the cigars ourselves.”
The most powerful cigar manufacturer in the Canary Islands, CITA, was not included in the U.S. promotions, but even it is finding the American market a tough place to get established. The cigarmaker has slowly built a beachhead in Miami, opening an office as well as a cigar bar and shop. “Of course, it is not easy,” says Enrique Hernandis Moreno, the chairman and chief executive officer of CITA, which also now runs a joint-venture cigar factory in the Dominican Republic with Swisher and MATASA. “But we believe in the future of the U.S. market, and we believe in the future of Canary Island cigars. It all takes time.”

What is the Canary Islands? Canary Islands (Spanish: Las Islas Canarias , literally “dog islands”) is an archipelago of seven islands of volcanic origin in the Atlantic Ocean, off the northwestern coast of Africa (Morocco and Western Sahara). The islands belong to Spain and are one of the autonomous communities of this country. There are two capitals, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, but up to 19For 27 years, Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the only capital. Homeland of canaries.
EtymologyThere is a widespread version that the islands were named after canaries. However, on the contrary, the bird was named after the place of its birth, so this version is incorrect. The name Canary Islands (Spanish Las Islas Canarias ) comes from the Latin. Canariae Insulae , meaning literally “Isles of Dogs”. The ancient Roman scholar Pliny the Elder believes that the name of the island was given because of the large number of large dogs on the islands. At the same time, he refers to the descriptions of the Moorish king Juba II, who undertook a journey to the archipelago in 40 BC. e .. Two dogs were taken by Yuba to his homeland (the territory of modern Morocco), and then got on the coat of arms of the Canary Islands. According to another version, “dogs” were called sea dogs (lat. canis marinus ) or sea lions, which previously had large colonies on the islands. It is also possible that the indigenous population of the archipelago, the Guanches, regarded dogs as sacred animals. It is possible that the Egyptian cult of the deity Anubis with the head of a dog and the Canarian worship of dogs are not excluded. In ancient Roman sources, there is also a version of the name of the islands according to the Berber tribes living in Morocco. GeographyMap of the Canary Islands The archipelago consists of seven large inhabited islands and several small ones. In the center is the largest island – Tenerife (2057 km²), Tenerife is the largest and most populous island. To the west are the islands of La Gomera (378 km²), Hierro (277 km²) and La Palma (708 km²). Gran Canaria is located to the east of Tenerife. This is the third largest island of the archipelago (1532 km²). Further east are Fuerteventura (1659km²) and Lanzarote (795 km²). Of the six small islands, only Graciosa (27 km²) is inhabited. To the east are the islands of Alegranza (10 km²), Montaña Clara (1 km²), Lobos (6 km²), Roque del Oeste ( Roque del Oeste ) and Roque del Este ( Roque del Este ). There are 13 islands in total. Geographically they belong to the group of volcanic islands together with the Azores, Cape Verde and Madeira. ClimateThe climate of the Canary Islands is tropical trade wind, moderately hot and dry, defined by:0004 In general, the islands are characterized by an extremely uniform temperature distribution. Most days are warm sunny dry weather, the water temperature is constant throughout the year, does not fall below 20°C, on the coast the air temperature rarely drops below 10°C and rarely rises above 25°C in winter, while in summer the temperature rarely drops below 20°C but often exceeds 30°C HistoryPyramids of Guimar – Tenerife Before the Europeans came to the islands, they were inhabited by Guanches. Their development was at the level of the Stone Age, they were engaged in cattle breeding and primitive agriculture. Animal skins were used as clothing. They knew how to mummify their leaders. They left behind the pyramids of Guimar – an amazing monument of megalithic architecture. Arab sailors were the first to reach the Canary Islands in the 12th century. French navigators visited the Canaries in 1334. In 1344, Pope Clement VI grants the islands of Castile. In 1402, the Frenchmen Jean de Betancourt and Gadifer de La Salle, on behalf of the crown of Castile and Leon, begin to seize the islands. The tribes from Gran Canaria welcomed the Europeans (King Guarnardafra advocated an alliance), while the tribes that inhabited Tenerife tried to resist, fighting with stone-tipped arrows and slings. In 1404, King Henry III of Castile proclaims Jean de Bethencourt king of the Canaries. Portugal, which also claimed the Canary Islands, recognized them as Spanish possession under an agreement dated 1479of the year. The last battles on the island of Tenerife took place at the end of the 15th century. In May 1494, the Guanches defended their island, but in December 1495, after the plague had weakened the Guanches, the Spaniards completely took over the archipelago. On July 24, 1496, Prince Imenenchia surrendered and he was later killed. On September 29, the victor Alonso de Lugo announced the complete subjugation of the Canary Islands. Spanish conquest of the Guanches (1402-96) – Tenerife During his first journey in search of a route to India, Christopher Columbus makes a stop on the island of Gomera. After the discovery of America, the Canary Islands become the most important point on the way from Europe to the new world. Due to this geographical position, the islands become the target of other states, and just pirates. In 1586 and 159For 6 years, Moroccan troops captured Lanzarote. In 1595 Sir Francis Drake attacked Las Palmas. In 1599, the Dutch fleet destroyed Las Palmas. In 1657, the British fleet under the command of Admiral Robert Blake defeated the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Tenerife. In 1797, already Admiral Nelson tried to capture Santa Cruz de Tenerife. But he was defeated and lost his arm in battle. Despite everything, the Canary Islands remain under the control of Spain. In 1821 they become a province of Spain with Santa Cruz de Tenerife as its capital. This causes dissatisfaction on the part of Las Palmas, and for some time in the 1840s the islands are divided into two provinces. In 1982 the Canary Islands become an autonomous region of Spain and in 1986 join the European Union under special conditions. PopulationIslanders:
The problem of illegal immigrationIn recent decades, the Canary Islands have gradually become a transit point for immigrants from West African countries (Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Gambia, Senegal, etc.) who are trying to move from their countries to Spain or other European Union countries. Many die at sea before reaching land in their makeshift boats or rafts. The islands have special refugee camps, including specialized institutions for children, whose number among illegal immigrants is constantly increasing due to the fact that Spanish laws prohibit the deportation of persons under 18 years of age.

While its small bays and deserted beaches constitute great retreats, the harsh and appealing volcanic and desert landscape displays incomparable natural beauty. Geography – A harsh, rugged landscapeFuerteventura is located in the east of the Canary Islands, about 120 kilometres away from Africa. This strip of land in the Atlantic is about 100 kilometres long and 31 kilometres wide at its widest point. A long time ago, volcanoes shaped the island and created a harsh, rugged landscape with mountains of up to 800 metres of height. Fuerteventura is characterised by warm, mild climate throughout the year with average temperatures between 19 and 27 °C. Nature – Discovering vast sand dunes and green oasesVast, mighty sand dunes dominate the island’s north-east. They mostly consist of small pieces of mussels and snail shells from the sea. The island’s mountains with their reddish brown soils are equally barren. The areas covered in bright limestone, which used to be the seabed, and black volcanic soil create a natural play of colours. Palm oases constitute occasional green spots. Grasses, shrubs and date palms flourish in this harsh environment. The island’s heartland is covered in fields, on which the medicinal plant aloe vera is grown. Many of the animals which live in Fuerteventura now originally come from Africa, for example the lively Barbary ground squirrel. Birds of prey, cockatiels as well as donkeys and camels, which are used as working animals, are also typical of the island. Natural sights – From the Corralejo Natural Park to Jandía Peninsula
Travellers can experience the bizarrely beautiful landscape of the desert in the Corralejo Natural Park. The shifting dunes El Jable take up about 20 km². Their yellowish, reddish or white sand creates a strange but appealing landscape, which is populated by birds and reptiles for the most part. In addition, Corralejo has wonderful beaches. The island Los Lobos is part of the natural park and equally suited for bathing or surfing. In the north of Fuerteventura you find the lava cave Cueva del Llano. On a hike through this lava tunnel of about 700 metres of length you can hardly imagine the forces which created this natural wonder. Many fossilised plants and animals have been found in this cave. A popular holiday destination at the southern end of Fuerteventura is Jandía Peninsula with its magical beaches such as the Playa de Sotavento. The mountain Pico de Jandía stands out with regard to landscape. For entertainment you should visit the Oasis Park in La Lajita. This beautifully designed zoo hosts various shows with sea lions, parrots, birds of prey and reptiles. Culture – Traditional music, wrestling matches and art handicraft characterise the islandFor a long time the Guanches lived on Fuerteventura. They are native inhabitants of unknown origin. In the 15th century, the Spanish came to Fuerteventura and made the island part of their colonial empire. The population of Fuerteventura loves traditional music and wears elaborate costumes while dancing to it. A respectable sport is Spanish wrestling at which two opponents fight against each other. Art handicraft has a long tradition on the island. Fuerteventura is especially known for pottery, basketry and the production of lace, which is used for decorating traditional costumes, for example. Cultural sights – The open air museum Tefia, windmills and salt gardensMany visitors reach Fuerteventura via the capital Puerto del Rosario. If you take time to experience the town and walk its streets, you get a feel for the real life on the island. The town’s harbour and its beaches are worth seeing. A visit to the restored farming village Ecomuseo La Alcogida in Tefia provides interesting insights into the native island culture. Performers in costumes, residential houses, a bakery, a stonemason and a pottery give holidaymakers an understanding of the traditional life on the island. This is also apparent from the El Morino windmill in Antigua, which is 200 years old and the most famous among Fuerteventura’s many windmills. The small town La Oliva is full of historical charm, created by its church tower, which is made from black lava rock. The Salinas del Carmen with their square salt gardens show in what a technologically sophisticated way salt has been won from the sea water for centuries. You find testimonies of events which occurred even further in the past at the holy mountain Montaña de Tindaya. The Guanches once built their sacrificial altars there. One of the most popular destinations on Fuerteventura is the villa of the German engineer Gustav Winter. It is said that the Nazis had a secret submarine base there. The building’s true appeal, however, lies in its stylish, ancient-looking construction and the wonderful view of the sea. Experience – Enjoying celebrations, visiting aloe vera plantations and exploring the ocean floor
Fuerteventura is not just quiet. There are many discos, clubs and bars in the tourist centres which offer evening entertainment. It is this time at which the inhabitant show how much delight they take in celebrating, from traditional local fiestas to the international blues festival (March). The Windsurfing World Cup in summer and the International Kite Festival in November also attract numerous travellers. A special experience is a trip to an aloe vera factory. This plant is grown on the island and is a very popular souvenir (next to embroidery, art handicraft or table cloths). You learn more about the people’s culture on the island’s many markets such as the African market in Costa Calma. A trip to the ocean bed in a glass-bottom boat, as it is offered in Corralejo, is another wonderful experience. The most important ingredient of Fuerteventura’s local cuisine comes from the sea: fish, prepared in a number of different ways. Other popular delicacies are jacket potatoes, which wrinkle because they are cooked in strongly salted water and which are eaten unpeeled, as well as spicy mojo sauces. Activities – Ideally suited for surfingFuerteventura is windy at almost any time. This wind makes the island the ideal destination for holidaymakers who want to go surfong, sailing and kitesurfing. In addition, the beautiful beaches and bays are ideally suited for relaxing, sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling. You will discover many treasures, especially on diving tours – be it the colourful underwater world, which is rich in fish, the bizarre seascape or mysterious, decomposing wrecks. Travellers who want to explore the island’s heartland can do this on foot, on the back of a horse or camel, by motorcycle or by quad bike. InformationFuerteventura’s only international airport is located in Puerto del Rosario (FUE). From Europe you can also reach the island by ship. Fuerteventura has a well-developed bus network but you may need to rent a car to reach more remote places and beaches. The official language on the island is Spanish. Fuerteventura is the perfect destination for holidaymakers who want to relax at the seaside in wonderful weather. It is especially suited for recreation in a quiet environment – be it at the beach, by doing sports or in the harsh landscape with its deserts, mountains and oases. Which Canary Island Is Right for You?The Canary Islands – home to award-winning wines, lush landscapes, towering volcanoes and miles of Sahara like dunes. And that’s just a morsel of the island’s delights. Although, we wouldn’t have blamed you for thinking otherwise.

The house is now a foundation dedicated to his life and work and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Talking of musts, you also have to visit the Timanfaya National Park. This part of the island is a real treat thanks to its martian landscape and rare plant species.

The restaurant serves typical Canarian food which is cooked on a grill using heat from inside the volcano. Pretty neat eh?

And that’s before we’ve even touched on the islands Carnival (which is second only to Rio by the way). The open-air bonanza takes place every February in Santa Cruz and promises to be epic. For 15 days, the streets come alive with colour, beauty and freedom. And of course, we can’t talk about Tenerife without mentioning the Pico del Teide, Spain’s tallest mountain – the peak reaches 3,718-metres! You’ll find this beauty in the Teide National Park which is also home to some of the best hikes in all of the Canaries.
The lowdown on Gran Canaria…View of the colourful houses at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria Gran Canaria is the island that feels most like its very own little continent, thanks to its wide and dramatic variation of terrain. It’s spot on for adrenaline junkies and sporty travellers – so if you fit the bill then you mustn’t leave the island without attempting hiking or at least mountain biking. But rest assured, that’s not all Gran Canaria has to offer. In the cosmopolitan capital of Las Palmas, you can be at one with the culture-vultures. The city is loved for its duty-free shopping, lively nightlife and sandy beaches.
Speaking of beaches, you should check out Playa de Las Canteras which is one of Europe’s most famous city beaches. Great for snorkelling and long walks, it’s a beach that will satisfy every craving. And best of all, the waters are warm all year round.
The lowdown on Fuerteventura…Kitesurfing at Flag Beach, Fuerteventura At first, you might mistake Fuerteventura for a gigantic meteor crater, but we promise that if you give it a chance, you’ll absolutely adore this island. Especially great for beach buffs and aquaphiles, you can spend days baking under the sun or mastering the waves with locals, surfers and windsurfers! If you’re serious about perfecting your surf, we recommend the Wave Rider Surf School – where the team will help you achieve your goals in no time. It may be the oldest Canary Island but it has so much to offer. In fact, what makes Fuerteventura so special is that the island isn’t overly populated. It’s a terrific choice for families with young children, and couples looking for the right balance of zen and adventure. There are volcanoes to climb, pretty whitewashed villages to visit and delicious Majorero cheese to devour. Believe us when we say that it tastes as good as it looks.
The lowdown on La Gomera…La Gomera, Canary Islands La Gomera is the island that mass tourism thankfully left behind. Just arrive and you can feel the uniqueness of the island in the air. For starters, you can drive for miles without facing a single traffic light! And you’d be totally bonkers not to take full advantage and enjoy a little road trip through the sleepy mountain villages, palm-filled valleys and deep ravines. If you are looking forward to do road trip, see here this blog post about Extending Influence. To put it into perspective, there are people who travel half the world to see landscapes as beautiful as these. And once you get through the 4-hour flight, it’s yours for the taking. If that wasn’t already enough, La Gomera is also the only island where you can see a cathedral organ cut into a cliff, and yes we’re fully serious. It’s a sight for sore eyes, at 200 metres wide and 80 metres high, Los Organos Natural is only accessible by sea. When you see it you’ll be totally in awe – mother nature really delivered the goods here.
The lowdown on El Hierro…Charco Azul in El Hierro El Hierro is the smallest and the hardest Canary Island to get to, but it’s certainly well set up for tourists. The island is undeniably very quiet but that all adds to its charm. There are no pubs, clubs or gimmicks which is one of the main reasons travellers return time and time again. Instead of knocking back a pint or two, pay a visit to Charco Azul, a natural seawater pool in El Golfo valley. It’s without a doubt the best bathing spot in all the Canaries. And in case you didn’t already know, El Hierro is said to be where Columbus said adios to Europe before setting sail in 1492! And since Columbus already had his time to explore this semi-mythical island, now it’s your turn. From the twisting roads to the rugged hills, you can play in natures playground and indulge in some much needed ‘you time’.
The lowdown on La Palma…Los Tilos waterfall in La Palma Often referred to as the Beautiful Island, La Palma is ram-packed with enchanting forests, imposing volcanoes, crazy coloured waterfalls and star-lit skies. And don’t just take our word for it – the island won a Starlight award after minimalising light pollution! Though the island is open to all, it’s romanticism lends itself perfectly to couples in pursuit of some winter sun. In the morning you can take a dip in the cobalt-hued ocean and in the afternoons you can visit some of La Palma’s best sights. You might decide to visit the island’s capital Santa Cruz de la Palma, or even more impressive the Caldera de Taburiente National Park where you’ll find the most spectacular views of the island. Photos really don’t do it justice. But come prepared with walking boots and a bathing suit – because there’s nothing better than bathing under a waterfall! And…breathe! We know that was a lot of information to take in. But hopefully you’re one step further to knowing which Canary Island is the one for you. If you need a lending hand, our concierge team are always an email away. Liked that? Follow, like or share: The Quieter Canaries | FredHotelJardinTecinaHome / Blogs / The Quieter Canaries 18th September 2014 The Quieter Canaries Islands such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are well known to us in England, but what about the less popular Canary Islands? The Canary Islands are the perfect place for a holiday, regardless of who you are travelling with. The excellent beaches are great for families with children, the scenery is fantastic for romantic couples or those who like to explore their surroundings on foot, and the weather provides a year-round climate that will put a smile on anyone’s face. However, whilst many people will be very familiar with islands such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, these are not the only destinations within this beautiful archipelago. There are in fact eight inhabited islands in this group and so let’s take a look at some of the quieter Canaries that are slightly less chirpy than their neighbours. El HierroIn the days when everybody thought that the world was flat, the tiny island of El Hierro was assumed to be the most western point of land on the planet. Nowadays we are fully aware that this isn’t the case but that doesn’t mean that it has lost any of its charm. El Hierro has the smallest area out of the main Canary Islands but manages to cram so much for tourists to see and do into this limited space. People flock here from all over the world to experience the crystal clear waters that are said to be just perfect for diving. Away from the coastline, the landscape is made up of striking volcanos, deep valleys and lush forests. The whole island was designated a Biosphere Reserve in 2000 and it is home to many rare species of animals and plants, including the extremely vulnerable El Hierro giant lizard. The quiet and laid back nature of this relaxing holiday destination gives visitors the feeling that they are truly cut off from the rest of the world. Perfect for the kind of break where you want to fully escape the rituals of everyday life. FuerteventuraAside from the main three, Fuerteventura is probably the most well-known of the remaining islands. Its name can be literally translated as ‘strong winds’ but it is also possible that it is down to a joining of the two French words ‘forte’ and ‘aventure’ which mean ‘great adventure’. This relatively popular holiday hot spot has some of the best beaches in Europe and, due to its close proximity to Africa, has the most amount of sunshine per year across all of the Canaries. Water sports are very popular here, whilst other people come to see the beautiful sand dunes and rugged natural landscape. The fact that Fuerteventura is quite large but nowhere near as built-up as Tenerife or Gran Canaria makes it a paradise for those looking for excellent weather, marvellous scenery and a bit of peace and quiet. La GomeraThe relatively untouched island of La Gomera is home to Fred.\’s Hotel Jardin Tecina and possibly has the most dramatic natural landscape of all the Canary Islands. The land is covered in valleys, ravines, sheer cliffs and areas of dense forest and thus the locals even use their own whistling language to communicate between these vast areas. Hotel Tecina and its breath-taking golf course are not the only draws of a place which, due to the fact that the great Christopher Columbus stopped here for supplies during his first voyage in 1492, is known locally as Columbian Island. The stunning Garajonay National Park covers a large percentage of La Gomera and is a key reason why there is so much beauty and serenity to be found here. This is something Columbus would have surely been struck by too. Every year tourists visit this small island for some much needed rest and relaxation; something that the Hotel Jardin Tecina can offer in abundance. La PalmaLa Palma is an island that is incomparable to the bustling beaches and tourist areas of the more famous Canary Islands. It has been shaped, in large parts, by volcanic activity and the most recent eruption (which occurred in 1971) has left its black yet fertile mark on part of the land. This has done nothing to alter the beauty of this amazing place though, as the landscape, scenery and views across to the other Canaries are magnificent. Whereas holidaymakers may visit La Gomera or El Hierro to relax and do nothing at all, people generally take a trip to La Palma to be a bit more active. For example, there are banana plantations to explore, cliffs to dive off and perfect conditions for paragliding. It is two other things that attract the most tourists to this location though, namely stargazing and hiking. Whilst the volcanic landscape and network of intricate footpaths offer excellent adventure opportunities for keen walkers; the clear, pollution-free skies provide the ultimate astrological experience. So much so that, in 2013, La Palma was given the title of the first Starlight Reserve in the world and is home to the biggest optical telescope on Earth. Our planet will be the last thing on your mind though as you gaze up and enjoy unrivalled views of the Milky Way. All of these fantastic islands can be enjoyed by using La Gomera as your base. Fast ferries and connecting flights make it relatively easy to island hop and there is even a service operated by Fred Olsen so you can travel with a name that you trust. Why not speak to the team at Fred.\ and start your Canary Island adventures at the Hotel Jardin Tecina.

The Canary Islands make for a great vacation destination if you want to escape from the cold winter weather back home. It is almost impossible to pick the best beaches here as there are so many, but here are some of my favorites.

Most of these beaches can only be reached by foot or by boat, so it’s worth hiring a car to explore this beautiful island! Puerto de Naos y Charco Verde Beach is a small, secluded bay with stunning turquoise waters. It’s also one of La Palma’s best-kept secrets.

Every year, millions of tourists flock to the Canary Islands for their winning combination of sea, sand and all-year-round sun. But which is the best Canary Island to visit? We’ve combined our knowledge of these popular winter sun holiday spots to bring you the ultimate guide to choosing your ideal Canary island – whether you’re looking for a family break, walking trip, activity holiday, star-gazing spectacular or bar-hopping bonanza. Best for Beaches: FuerteventuraFuerteventura is a fine destination for beach-lovers, as its coastline is blessed with white sand that suits surfers and sun-worshippers alike. The resorts of Corralejo and Caleta De Fuste offer easy access to some of the best beaches, while the entire Southwestern region of the island is taken up by Jandia Playa – a designated nature reserve and beautiful beach in its own right. Fuerteventura is also the closest Canary island to North Africa, so mild to hot weather is more or less guaranteed whenever you choose to visit: temperatures here have rarely been known to fall below 16 degrees even in winter. The only potential snag in the island’s record as a great beach destination is its reputation for strong winds (from which the island takes its name). But if you’re a watersports fan hoping to catch some waves, this aspect will cause no concern. Check out our great value Fuerteventura Airport transfers for unmissable deals on top-rated shuttle buses and resort taxis. Most Unspoilt: Lanzarote and the Smaller IslandsLike much of mainland Spain, the Canary Islands have, to some extent, suffered from the harsher excesses of mass tourism, which has led to overdevelopment in some areas. Fortunately, measures have been put in place to curb the sprawl of high-rise hotels and preserve the islands’ natural beauty, and this has been particularly effective in Lanzarote, which was declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1993. Visitors to Lanzarote can get up close and personal with the island’s impressive volcanoes, and a popular attraction is the Timanfaya National Park, where one restaurant cooks meals from the heat of an active volcano. While Lanzarote is perhaps the most successful of the bigger islands in stemming the high-rise tide, the smaller destinations of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro have also largely managed to avoid becoming overdeveloped. All of these islands therefore offer stunning views of the dramatic volcanic scenery that first attracted tourists to the Canaries without the dreaded eyesores that have since turned many away. Check out our Lanzarote teaser video above, and head over to our HEHA! YouTube Channel for more Canary Island inspiration. Best for Eco-Travellers: La PalmaLa Palma is one of the smallest of the archipelago, and is probably the best Canary Island for those who want to experience the impeccable natural beauty of the islands without the hustle and bustle of the larger resorts. In stark contrast with the barren terrain of Lanzarote and the desert sands of Gran Canaria, La Palma is a very green island, covered in lush vegetation. There is a thriving eco-tourism scene here, with a wealth of wildlife walks to help you enjoy the breathtaking fauna in all its glory. This is also a popular choice for hikers, many of whom attempt to tackle the lofty El Roque de los Muchachos trail every year. Best for Adventurers: Gran CanariaA trip to Europe’s most Southerly point offers all kinds of enticing prospects, from camel rides across the dunes of Maspalomas to quad-biking adventure trails and stargazing missions from the island’s fully operational observatory. With a thriving club and bar scene alongside its stunning natural heritage Gran Canaria is a place of huge contrasts, making it ideal for those seeking a voyage of discovery. Party animals should head to the Playa de Ingles for non-stop nightlife, while those seeking a quieter holiday on this extraordinary island will love Puerto de Mogan and San Agustin. Prepare to get active, and leave the car behind to experience what the island has to offer first-hand: many visitors choose to explore Gran Canaria by bike. Insider Tip: End your holiday to Gran Canaria on a high-note by booking a Gran Canaria airport lounge. Kiss that post-holiday airport stress goodbye. Best for Families: TenerifeTenerife is the most popular Canary Island among British travellers, and is particularly well-loved as a family destination. It has a reputation for being a little on the ‘touristy’ side, but this means it’s geared up for welcoming families with children in tow, who will appreciate the ease with which it’s possible to enjoy all that Tenerife has to offer: great beaches, water parks and fascinating historic sites, such as the Pyramids of Güímar: a mysterious group of ancient structures built from the island’s native lava stone. Check out the Hidden Gems of Tenerife for amazing itinerary ideas on your next Tenerife holiday! Best for Watersports: El HierroEl Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands, but many of its visitors are far more interested in the clear blue sea that surrounds the island than the land itself. The island is a diver’s paradise, with several world-class facilities dotted around the coastline, accessible to experts and beginners alike. The underwater scenery looks out of this world, with volcanic peaks, lush vegetation and a dazzling variety of fish. Take a look at this video for a preview of the under-the-sea experience you can expect to have in El Hierro. The Overall Winner: LanzaroteYour individual holiday wishlist will help you to decide on which is the best Canary Island for you, but if we had to name one island as being the best all-rounder, Lanzarote is hard to beat. Lanzarote’s size and popularity have made it particularly well-equipped for holidaymakers, yet it has shunned the high-rise architecture of its similar-sized neighbours. Lanzarote provides superb opportunities for discovering the moon-like volcanic landscape that make the Canary Islands unique as a European destination, and it suits travellers of all types: you can have a wonderful family holiday, spa break, eco tour, watersports adventure or beach break in Lanzarote, all just four hours away from the UK. It’s also a great island for a scenic drive, and car hire in Lanzarote

The best beaches in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are known as “las afortunadas”, meaning “the lucky ones” in Spanish, and it’s easy to see why. Boasting thousands of kilometres of coastline and year-round good weather, the archipelago is home to hundreds of incredible beaches that attract tourists from all corners of the world. Playa de El Golfo, Lanzarote Located on the south-west coast of Lanzarote, Playa de El Golfo is known for its intense green lagoon, Lago Verde, starkly contrasting the beach’s black lava pebbles. The cliffs behind the lagoon are equally dramatic, having been wind eroded into fantastic shapes over the centuries. This unique natural feature of Lanzarote is a photographer’s delight and belongs to a protected area. Playas en las Dunas de Corralejo, Fuerteventura Visiting Fuerteventura?

Playa del Inglés, Valle del Gran Rey, La Gomera Since the 1970’s, Playa del Inglés in La Gomera has been a legendary ‘hippy’ and alternative destination. Unlike other more remote and naturist beaches in the archipelago, Playa del Inglés is close to restaurants, bars, entertainment and is just a short walk to the volcanic sand beach, the perfect place to relax and take in the views of the mountains and the endless ocean. Cala de Tacorón, El Hierro El Hierro is a quiet paradise that captivates visitors with its exquisite landscapes, pristine waters of its marine reserve and the calm lifestyle of its almost 11,000 inhabitants. Despite its small size, the cove of Tacorón in the south of the island is a real gem and welcomes visitors year-round to enjoy the most peaceful Atlantic waters in the entire region. This unspoilt destination with soft, multi-coloured sands that is perfect for a relaxing swim. Playa de Nogales, La Palma Nogales Beach is one of the best beaches in La Palma and illustrates perfectly what this beautiful island has to offer: mountains, trails, lava, ocean and lush green landscapes. Located in the northern town of Puntallana, the black volcanic sand, with shades of blue and grey, its spectacular cliffs and the mighty Atlantic have put Nogales Beach on the map, not only for surfers and naturists but also for lovers of privacy, beautiful views and nature trails. Playa de Papagayo, Lanzarote Papagayo, located in the south of Lanzarote, is one of the most popular beaches on the island. This small cove of white sand is famous for its crystal clear, emerald green water which remains still all day long just like in a swimming pool. Papagayo is the perfect location to enjoy snorkelling, swimming or to simply take in the natural beauty of the area. Playa de el Médano, Tenerife The south of Tenerife is home to one of the local residents’ favourite beaches: El Médano. This beach of golden sand, shallow waters and moderate waves and all the necessary services an urban beach requires. Over time the centre of El Médano has become an important second home base for many islanders and is a hugely popular spot for wind and kitesurfing due to constant winds, giving the town a great buzz in the evening after a day spent on the beach. Playa de las Conchas, La Graciosa La Graciosa, next to Lanzarote, is the least populated of the Canary Islands, waiting to be discovered! Located on the north west of La Graciosa lies a real treasure, Las Conchas. This pale sandy beach is home to an ever-changing blue ocean – you won’t be disappointed. Playa de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria Maspalomas Beach, South Gran Canaria, is bordered by the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve and Maspalomas resort. With calm seas and three kilometres of golden sand, a wide range of hotels and apartments available nearby, Maspalomas is an ideal family holiday destination and the perfect place to spend days in the sunshine. For a romantic experience head to the dunes in the evening and watch the sun set behind Maspalomas lighthouse. Playa de Benijo, Tenerife The solitude and serenity of Benijo Beach and its location in an area of great beauty makes it the perfect alternative beach experience in Tenerife. Located in Anaga Rural Park in the north-east of the island, Benijo is found at the end of a road that winds through a laurisilva forest and boasts spectacular views over the Atlantic, like gold at the end of a rainbow. Holidays in the Canary Islands: what to see, how to organizeThe word “Canaries” usually means Tenerife, less often – Gran Canaria. Victoria Zorina has been to each island twice Author profile The Canary archipelago also includes other islands: Lanzarote, Palma and Hierro. They are no less interesting than Tenerife. They have the same wonderful climate – eternal spring. The air temperature in winter and summer is +24…27 °C, water temperature is +20…24 °C. You can swim there all year round. Each island has its own landscape and unique views. Lanzarote is dominated by rocks and cacti, Palma has a lot of greenery, and Hierro has volcanoes. After traveling around the islands, it seems that I have been on vacation at least twice. The islands are close to Tenerife: Palma is 86 km away, Hierro is 120 km away, Lanzarote is 272 km away. I’ve been to each twice. In this article I will tell you what to see on the islands, how to travel between them on ferries and how to fry sausages right on the volcano. What we’ll tell you aboutLanzaroteIt has more than 300 volcanoes and little greenery, but there are many stunning desert places with red-yellow volcanic sand. They are like another planet. The main resorts of the island are Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen. The beaches in these cities are marked with the international Blue Flag sign for the purity of the water and coast. There are hotels near them. All the beaches of the island have fine volcanic sand of different shades of yellow and gray. People move around the island in a rented car, taxi, sightseeing or regular bus. Tickets can be bought directly on the bus, depending on the route, they cost from 0.8 € (73 R) to 2.8 € (258 R). Timanfaya National Park is the main attraction of the island. In many guidebooks, it is listed first in the “What to see in Lanzarote” list. This is a beautiful park, where there is not a single tree, but the volcanic history of the Canaries is in full view. Timanfaya Park Site Extinct volcanoes are punctuated by valleys into which hot lava once flowed. The ground here is covered with volcanic rocks. They are grey, black and red because of the iron in the soil. Such a relief was formed after the eruptions of 1730-1736. Since the middle of the 20th century, scientists have been working in the park to observe the gradual change in the volcanic landscape. There is one active volcano in the territory – Timanfaya. The park has one entrance. A ticket for adults costs 12 € (1107 R), for children 7-12 years old – 6 € (553 R), up to 7 years old – free of charge. There is a car park near the entrance. Park opening hours: In the interests of science, the landscape of the park is left untouched, so only buses move around it. They depart from the volcano, which is located near the entrance, and return there in half an hour. The trip is included in the price of the entrance ticket. Buses run on designated narrow lanes. They have recorded audio guides in different languages, but Russian is not among them. It is not allowed to stop and get off the buses. Photos and videos are taken from the window. In rare cases, guides with groups of tourists manage to agree on moving on their own bus. But every year there are less and less of such concessions. I enjoyed the informal minibus tour. I booked it online a month before the trip with a private guide. I was impressed by her interesting and emotional story: she talked about the park in such a way that I wanted to listen to her very carefully. The tour cost 75 € (6918 R) and lasted 9 hours. It included a tour of not only this park, but also other attractions. Now this guide is engaged in other business. I did not find information about such tours. They try to preserve the landscape in the park, so they are not allowed to walk on it. But sometimes the rules change: in 2009, Pedro Almodóvar’s film “Broken Embraces” was filmed there. As a rule, tourists move around the park only on sightseeing buses. In a small specially designated area, you can ride camels. It costs from 20 € The park is interesting not only for excursions. They cook food right on the volcano: the temperature at a depth of 10 meters underground reaches 600 °C. They dig a hole in the ground, put a grate on it, and sausages on top. You need to bring them with you: in any supermarket a small pack costs 2—3 € (184—276 R). Sausages are fried thanks to the heat of the volcano. Islote de Hilario hill is located not far from the park. On its top, Timanfaya employees put on a volcanic show. First, they give a hot stone to hold, which is taken out of a hole in the ground. The stone is held without gloves and thrown from palm to palm like a hot potato. Then they throw dry grass into this pit, and it immediately flares up. A bucket of water is poured into another hole. A few seconds later, a geyser 10-15 meters high shoots out from there. /faq-tenerife/ What you need to know before traveling to Tenerife The El Diablo restaurant is located in Islot de Hilario. Some dishes are also cooked in volcanic heat. The restaurant has a special brazier – a hole dug in the ground and covered with a grate, a cauldron or a frying pan is placed on it. Chicken, pork, beef, veal are fried in this way. A serving costs €13—21 (1199—1936.8462 R). The taste of food almost does not differ from that prepared in the usual way. But in any case, trying meat fried on a real volcano is an interesting experience. Cactus garden. A huge cactus garden was founded in the 19th century. There you can see almost 5,000 plants and 400 species of cacti. In the garden, they grow quickly and bloom regularly. Entrance costs 6.5 € (599 R) for adults, 3.25 € (299 R) for children 7-12 years old, up to 7 years old is free. Cactus garden website I really love this garden for its peaceful atmosphere: it is always quiet there and you can wander past perennial cacti. Some of them are taller than human height. I came there twice with a difference of 7 years. I noticed that some of my tall favorites grew even more, and new young plants appeared next to them. There is a small area in the garden just above ground level where a non-working mill and a cafe are located. It serves Canarian cuisine and cactus burgers. They are prepared as follows: a cutlet is made from a cactus, grinding it into gruel. The taste is unusual – something between an avocado and hummus, but you hardly want more. A portion will cost 6 € (553 R). In Lanzarote, cacti grow three times the size of a human. Round Plants – Barrel Size Jameos del Agua is a volcanic cave in the north of the island. It has beautiful underground landscapes of stalactites and stalagmites. There are comfortable paths, but a wheelchair cannot pass through them. Entrance for adults will cost 10 € (922 R), for children 7-12 years old – 5 € (461 R), up to 7 years old – free of charge. Jameos del Agua has special acoustics: the sound can be heard equally well from any point. Inside the cave there is a concert hall “Auditorium”. On Fridays and Saturdays from 19:00 to 01:00, it hosts musical events called Nights in Jameos. First, a DJ performs as a warm-up, and at 22:30 a classical music concert begins. Ticket price — 55—65 € (5073—5995.3636 R), it can be bought on the official website. The price includes a concert and dinner at a local restaurant. /spain-tram/ How to get around Spain by tram There is a small lake in the cave where unusual white blind crabs live. They are found only in Lanzarote. Their safety is carefully monitored: touching crabs and throwing coins into their pond is prohibited. It is better to buy tickets for the concert in the cave in advance: they are usually sold out on the day of the event Charco de los Clicos is a natural lake 10 meters deep. It is unique in that it is located in the crater of a collapsed volcano on the very shore of the ocean and is fed by underground sources. Small algae – sea ruppia – give the water an amazing green color. You can drive to the lake for free at any time. Pieces of chrysolite, a green semi-precious stone, are sometimes found on the shore of the lake. It glows beautifully in the rays of the setting sun, and for this it is called the evening emerald. Swimming in the lake is strictly prohibited: it is a natural reserve. There is no beach nearby. There is a road leading to Charco de los Clicos – no need to climb the mountains. If you stand with your back to the lake, you will see the ocean 50 meters ahead PalmaPalma is the greenest island of the Canary archipelago. In 2002, UNESCO declared it a world biosphere reserve, so high-rise buildings cannot be built here. It is also the quietest island: one of the largest observatories in the Northern Hemisphere is located here, so night shows and fireworks are prohibited. The main resort areas are Playa de Charco Verde, Playa de los Cancajos, Playa de Nogales. Local beaches have fine sand and clear water. There are few people here: beach holidays on the island are not developed. In 2005-2010, the government of the Canaries planned to create new tourist areas on Palma. For this, a large airport was built here, but water parks and nightclubs cannot be opened due to the noise ban. Tourists prefer other islands where there is both beautiful nature and entertainment. There are few regular buses on the island. Basically, they move between cities and do not reach the sights. Tickets cost 1.5-2.6 € (138-239 R), they can be bought from the driver. It is better to travel by rented car, taxi or with a tour. The Caldera de Taburiente National Park is located on the Taburiente mountain in the north of the island. It contains several hundred plants, including endemic ones that grow only in the Canary Islands: for example, the Canarian pine or some types of juniper. The entrance is free. Site of the park The highest mountain of the island, Roque de los Muchachos, is located in the park. Its height is 2426 meters. There are many hiking trails on the mountain. Climbing them takes from 3 to 20 hours, depending on the starting point and the preparedness of the tourists. During the hike, you can see how the vegetation changes: deciduous trees give way to junipers and Canarian pines. Most tourists prefer to go up the mountains by car to enjoy the views of the island from a point above the clouds. The park’s most famous viewpoint is the Mirador de la Cumbrecita. A picturesque road leads to it, which is covered with vegetation on both sides. There are parking pockets for those wishing to get out of the vehicle and enjoy the views of the ocean and the island of Tenerife. Canarian pines are famous for their fire resistance: only small branches and needles are usually burned in a forest fire. The trunks remain and the needles grow back Such dense vegetation in the Canary Islands can only be seen on Palma Roque de los Muchachos is one of the largest observatories in the world. It is located in the Caldera de Taburiente park at an altitude of 2396 meters. In 1979, Newton’s telescope, one of the most powerful in the world, was brought here from England. It didn’t belong to the scientist, it’s just the name of the apparatus. Entrance costs 9 € (830 R). Excursions to the observatory are rare and only in summer. You need to sign up on the site, but getting on them is a great success. I didn’t manage to do that. Children under 6 years old are not allowed into the observatory. Tours are not available in 2020 due to the pandemic. During the tour, the guide-scientist tells about the history of the observatory and allows you to look through the telescopes. But you won’t be able to look into Newton’s telescope: its time is scheduled by the minute for scientists from different countries. Taking pictures in the observatory is prohibited. A good alternative is an evening open-air tour with a story about the stars and observation through simpler telescopes. It costs from 30 € (2767 R). Such excursions do not include a visit to the observatory. They are conducted not by scientists, but by guides from local travel companies. Artificial lighting should not interfere with stargazing, so mass entertainment is prohibited on the island. UNESCO has declared it a biosphere reserve. They let you in for free. They move around the territory of the forest by car or on foot routes. At the entrance to the park, the caretaker gives booklets with maps. The main route called “Cubo de la Galga” stretches for 12.4 kilometers. It is ring-shaped – it leads from the town of Puntallana into the depths of the forest and back. The route takes about 8 hours. The views in the forest are worth it: many trees are over a hundred years old. They entangle with their roots not only neighboring plants, but also footpaths. Maps of hiking trails On the territory of the reserve there is a large beautiful Los Tilos waterfall and many streams that feed the lush vegetation Convenient hiking trails are laid in the forest Cumbre Vieja Park is located in the center of the island around the ridge of Cumbre Vieja volcanoes. The entrance is free. The “Road of Volcanoes” – “Ruta de los Volcanes” – runs through the territory of the park – 24 kilometers long. It can be completed in 6-8 hours. It starts in the El Pilar recreation area and ends in Fuencaliente at the lighthouse. The card is given at the tourist center. Most of the route passes through open country. There you can see extinct volcanoes and rare low vegetation that has appeared among stones and lava. This park seems to be a copy of the island of Tenerife in the region of the Teide volcano, but there are much fewer people here. Some people find it boring to look at volcanoes, but I like them. Once they helped form the current relief of the Canary Islands. Now these volcanoes are considered extinct, but any of them can wake up and manifest themselves. In Cumbre Vieja, you can see a rare combination of volcanic landscape and greenery. View of the urban area and the ocean from one of the highest points of the park. The palm justifies the title of the greenest island of the archipelago here too: slopes over 2000 meters high are covered with lush vegetation HierroHierro is the westernmost and smallest island of the archipelago with an area of only 268 km 2 . There are 700 volcanoes on it, which is more than on any other island of the Canaries. Near Hierro there are several underwater volcanoes. Once every 5-7 years they erupt. In December 2013, due to an underwater eruption, local residents even had to be evacuated. Thanks to those tremors, Hierro rose almost 6 cm above sea level, but this did not affect the life of the island. Hierro is not very suitable for a beach holiday – people usually come here to enjoy nature. There are several beaches here, but for the most part they are flat stone surfaces: for example, Playa de Tacoron and Playa Brava, which are located in the east of the island. There you can ski down into the water. More familiar are Playa de Timihiraque in the northeast and Playa de Verodal in the west: they are narrow strips of gray volcanic sand. Hierro is home to one of the smallest hotels in the world, the Punta Grande. It has only four rooms. At 19In 84, it was entered into the Guinness Book of Records. In 2008, his record was broken by the Eh’hausl Hotel, which is located in the German city of Amberg. A small hotel on the edge of the earth used to be a customs post Punta Grande has an official certificate confirming that it was once the smallest hotel in the world Hierro also has a difficult transport situation. There are few buses here. Tickets for all routes cost 1. 16 € (107 R), they can be bought from the driver. Things are no better with taxis: if you do not immediately find a car in the port in the parking lot at the exit, you may not be lucky again. It is best to rent a car or go with an organized group. A convenient option is a day trip from Tenerife by ferry and minibus. Cost — from 100 € (9225 R) including ferry tickets and excursion services. Such a trip can be booked on the website or at tour agencies in Tenerife. Excursions to Hierro from Tenerife: Mirador de la Peña is the most famous viewpoint in the northwest of the island. It is convenient to drive up to it by car or bus from the town of Guarasoca along the HI10 highway. There are signs on the road. There are stunning views of the ocean from here: as far as the eye can see, there is no land. They seem to prove that you are at the end of the world. The nearest land, the coast of the United States, is 5,000 kilometers away. There is also a small garden with dozens of cacti and flowers. In my opinion, the definition of “ennobled mountainside” is more suitable for him. /catalonia/ How to travel around Catalonia on your own I liked the Mirador de Isora viewpoint. It is located in the east, not far from the village of Isora and the seaport, where ships from other islands arrive. When you look at the ocean from there, it seems as if the water was specially tinted. This color is created by the shadows of the clouds that fall on it. From the 700-meter height of the Mirador de la Peña, everything seems tiny Cloudy weather on Hierro is quite common – it is almost impossible to photograph the terrain without a shadow Such rich colors on this island all year round: Hierro has more rainfall than in the south of Tenerife Beautiful the landscapes of the island can be seen in the 2019 Spanish TV series Hierro La Maceta are volcanic pools the size of a small pool with a rocky bottom. They were formed on the ocean coast hundreds of years ago as a result of volcanic eruptions. Water fills the pools at high tide. Their depth is up to 1.5 meters. I took a bath in one of them. The pool has warm water: it has time to warm up under the sun. The waves don’t interfere. Swimming in the usual sense in these “bathtubs” is inconvenient: there are stones at the bottom that you can hit. Nearby there is a stone beach where everyone sunbathes. The pools are reached by a stone staircase carved into the wall. The passage is not limited, but I did not notice the rescuers. Pools with natural ocean water renewal are an interesting alternative for those who are tired of the usual ones. Here you need to swim carefully and not dive: due to the shallow depth, you can hit your head on the stones at the bottom What you need to know about transportFerries. Travel between the islands on the ferries of two shipping companies – Naviera Armas and Fred Olsen. Naviera Armas ships to the islands from Tenerife or Gran Canaria. The journey from Tenerife to Hierro takes 2.5-3.5 hours, to Palma – 4.5 hours, to Lanzarote – 10-15 hours. A round-trip ticket to Hierro and Palma costs from 98 € (9040 R), to Lanzarote – from 200 € (18 450 R). The journey from Gran Canaria to Lanzarote takes 6-7 hours, the ticket costs from 150 € (13 837 R). The ferry runs daily. He goes to Palma only 1-2 times a week. The path takes 8-9hours, a round-trip ticket costs from 220 € (20,295 R). They get from Gran Canaria to Hierro with a change in Tenerife, there are no direct ferries. The journey takes at least 5 hours, the minimum trip price is from 188 € (17,343 R). Fred Olsen ferries get from Tenerife to Palma in 2.5 hours. A round-trip ticket costs from 100 € (9225 R). You can get from Gran Canaria to Palma only through Tenerife, the journey with a transfer takes from 4.5 hours. A round-trip ticket costs from 150 € (13,837 R). Hierro is not on the list of Fred Olsen routes. /faq-spain/ Spain: what you need to know before your trip It takes 4.5 hours from Gran Canaria to Lanzarote. On the way, you will have to make a transfer on the island of Fuerteventura: it takes from 30 minutes to several hours. Travel from Tenerife to Lanzarote takes 6 hours with a change in Gran Canaria. Round-trip ticket prices start from €136 (R12,546) from Gran Canaria and from €220 (R20,295) from Tenerife. Fred Olsen ferries are smaller than Naviera Armas and get more seasick. Therefore, they are not suitable for all passengers. Carriers offer residents of the Canary Islands discounts of up to 75% on tickets. Do not try to cheat the system: even if you buy such a ticket, you will not be allowed on a plane or ferry without a supporting document. How much does it cost to travel by ferry between the islands

You can rent a car on all islands. There are international rental offices in the Canary Islands, such as Sixt and Avis. Often in local Spanish companies, such as Cicar, cars are cheaper. A car in Lanzarote and Palma is booked via the Internet, in Hierro – during a personal visit or by phone. Renting the cheapest car from Cicar in Lanzarote costs €33 (R3096) per day. If you take at once for several days, they will give a discount. On Palma, Sixt has the best price — 18 € (1690 R) per day. Private car and scooter rentals are available in resort areas. Car rental prices are almost the same as in large companies. A scooter can be rented for €10-15 (R922-1383) per day. Renting a car in Lanzarote costs from €33.57 per day when booking on the Cicar website On Palma, a better option in Sixt is €18.32 Tour buses. The cost of group excursions on the islands is from 20 € (1845 R) per person, depending on the route and duration. Please note that the tour purchased on the island will be in English, Spanish or German. Russian-speaking guides gather small groups of 7-15 people via the Internet. Excursions in Russian: Taxi. Local taxi services operate in all Canary Islands. The car must be ordered in advance via the Internet. A tip in the amount of 10% of the bill and a landing price – from 1 € (92 R) in the city up to 3.5 € (322 R) at the airport. Order a taxi:
Travel to Fuerteventura – the quietest island of the CanariesThe Canary Islands are not only a place for a noisy holiday and entertainment of the island of Tenerife. Fuertoventura, the least developed by tourists, attracts vacationers with a calm beach holiday and incredible scenery. What comes to mind when you hear about the Canary Islands? Islands of “eternal spring”? A resting place for the “new Russians”? Those lucky ones who have already been there will surely remember the majestic Teide volcano, Loro Parque, the diversity of nature and much more. But this is just the island of Tenerife, one of the islands of the Canary archipelago. We decided to follow unexplored paths, and went to the most African (100 kilometers to Africa) and the island of Fuerteventura, little developed by tourists. Looking ahead, we note that this is an island with the most beautiful, African-style wide and long beaches, with endless expanses of the turquoise ocean, where time stops when you hear its breath. Our way to the Canaries passed through the whole of Europe. Departure point – the city of Minsk. Isles of Eternal Spring | Interfax-TourismThe Canary Islands – a place where you can live in complete harmony with nature for at least a short time The Canary archipelago is a super popular place among tourists from many countries, including Russia. At first, we had a stormy surge of interest in the Canary Islands, then a decline, and now it’s just love, which is not afraid of fashion and time. This is not surprising: the Canary Islands seem to have been specially created by the Creator as a kind of prototype of paradise, where people, animals and plants are equally comfortable. Where harmony and eternal spring reign. The songbird that inhabits some of the islands is said to have given its name to the entire Canarian archipelago. In fact, on the contrary, Canary got its name from the name of a group of seven main and a number of small islands that have been territorially owned by Spain since the 15th century. Before the Spaniards, the islands were inhabited by Guanches – a local people engaged in hunting, fishing and agriculture. Scientists say that the Guanches were tall, blue-eyed and with blond hair. And it was they who, in their opinion, were the descendants of the famous Atlantis. The Spaniards conquered the Guanches, some of whom converted to Catholicism, while the other part preferred death to captivity. From the freedom-loving people, only some local names have survived, and individual words in the local Canarian dialect of Spanish. And yet, they say that the great Homer wrote in the “Odyssey” that beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar) there are paradise islands, meaning the Canaries. Another, no less famous writer, Shakespeare, praised Canarian wines very much. Columbus stopped here on his way from Spain to America. And many other prominent figures. According to the Canarians, summer reigns on their islands all year round. A controversial statement, given the fact that when there is an African heat on the southern coast of the islands, snow lies on the top of Mount Teide, the highest point in the country, until June. Rather, the Canary Islands are constantly eternal spring, judging by the riot of colors. Officially, it is believed that the archipelago has a moderately hot climate, moderated by the trade winds blowing from the north, and the cold current of the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe that’s why the temperature in winter in the Canaries rarely drops below +10 degrees Celsius and rises above +25. Well, in summer, the air temperature on various islands ranges from +20 to 40. It is clear that due to such a natural factor, hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists from many countries flock to the islands every year. Especially in winter, when it is cold and dreary in Europe, but you really want to go to the sea and the sun. Three islands are the most popular among tourists: Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. In pursuit of the blue bird It turns out that the blue bird of happiness exists. And nowhere else, namely in the Canary Islands. More precisely, on the island of Tenerife, the largest in area of all the islands of the archipelago. This is the pinson azul, the blue finch. Local endemic, small and very cute bird. And there is also a paloma turke – a blue dove. And many other curious representatives of flora and fauna. Take, for example, the same tahinaste – a plant – a symbol of the island. Or the local cordon cactus, from the juice of which the Guanches prepared sleeping pills to help them catch fish. Or local Canarian dogs used by local farmers for traditional hare hunting. It is curious that in Tenerife the dogs are brown, on the island of volcanoes of Lanzarote – black, and in Gran Canaria – brindle, the color of the local sand. However, in Tenerife, not only tourist areas and hotels, built in the traditions of local architecture, surprise. Is it not a miracle to see a pod of dolphins and small whales from a cruise ship very close by. Or admire the Canary balconies in the town of Orotava, where every year at the beginning of June the streets are literally covered with flowers, and the central square of Ayuntamiento is covered with a multi-colored carpet of the Teide volcanic earth! The stepped pyramids found in the town of Guimar, the same age as similar structures in Egypt, Mexico and Peru, are also surprising. But of course, the biggest shock for tourists, object N1 on the island is the Teide volcano. This is the symbol of the entire archipelago. Scientists say that the “white mountain”, which is how Teide is translated from the Guanche language, is about 600 thousand years old. And although the last eruption of Teide occurred at the end of the 18th century, traces of its activity can still be observed periodically: sulfur emissions and the remains of black lava, which is used by local farmers as fertilizer for growing Canary potatoes – small, shriveled, but very tasty. A tour of the Teide National Park, when you rise from the coast to sky-high heights, is impressive. Along the way, you admire the beauties, Canarian pine, cacti. And on the spot you freeze with admiration at the sight of Roques de Garcia, rocks of bizarre shapes that were depicted on old Spanish money. Dozens of layers of lava of different age, composition and color, incredible stone sculptures, craters and rocks. All this can be seen and photographed in the mountain basin of Las Cañadas. And you can look at all the natural splendor almost from the top, where the funicular delivers tourists. If you’re lucky, you might see Teide violets, a plant that can survive at an altitude of 3,500 meters. And other rare plants, prehistoric, are still found in the Laurisilva rainforest, which is located in the north of the island in the Anagi region. And in the northwest, the precipitous cliffs of Los Gigantes – “Giants” – arouse admiration. In the town of Icod de los Vinos, a thousand-year-old dragon tree is admired. Once it was worth its weight in gold for its ability to cure many diseases. The famous German naturalist Alexander Humboldt burst into tears when he climbed the Teide, he was so overwhelmed by what he saw. The island of miracles and “surprises” Humboldt would have been utterly delighted with the island of Lancerot, which is only 50 minutes from Tenerife. A landscape of unique beauty, the most characteristic sign of Lanzarote, often called the “Island of the Moonscape”. There is little greenery here, unlike Tenerife, the climate is drier. But the amazingly beautiful mountains and volcanoes, thanks to which UNESCO declared the entire island a biosphere reserve. The most striking place and popular with tourists is the Timanfaya National Park. It is also called Fire Mountains. A visit to the park begins with various “tricks” that cause genuine delight among tourists: an eruption of hot steam, hot sand on cool ground. There is a restaurant next door where meat and fish are cooked in volcanic heat. The tour itself is carried out by bus on a specially laid road. Walking on Timanfaya is strictly prohibited. Through the bus windows, amazingly beautiful multi-colored mountains and sands, black lava, forming bizarre shapes, open up. The feeling that you are virtually traveling on some other planet in a science fiction movie. Timanfaya is not the only wonder of Lanzarote. In the northeast of the island there is a 7-kilometer cave Cueva de los Verdes, and there is a concert hall in it. And in another cave, Jameos del Agua, the only white blind crab in the world, tiny and very cute, lives in crystal clear water. Pride of the island A cactus garden designed by César Manrique, a wonderful local artist, sculptor and designer. This, the latest work of the master, is a crater of a volcano, in which visitors can admire almost 2,000 cacti from different countries. What is there just not here: tiny fluffy with scarlet flowers and round, similar to ottomans, vertical, taller than human height and orchilla, from which purple paint was made. The island has remained so beautiful thanks to Cesar Manrique, whose house-museum is also a must-visit for all tourists. This is where the fantasy of the “Canarian Dali” unfolded. Strange rotating modules, which Manrique called “wind toys” (these are found in many places on the island) harmoniously fit into the architecture of the estate of bright white color, elongated sofas and tables of unusual shapes, avant-garde paintings on the walls – all this Cesar Manrique. And this extraordinary person also designed the garden and the 5 * hotel Gran Melia Salinas, the most luxurious on the island. It is located on the Costa Teguise, calm and quiet. The main tourist destination is located on the southeast coast of Punto del Carmen. Here are located low hotels, the darkness of restaurants and bars, discos, inexpensive boarding houses. And life is in full swing around the clock. In the bay of El Golfo you can see a lake of bright green water next to the sea. And in the town of Teguise, enjoy a leisurely walk along the quiet medieval streets among bright white houses with green windows and doors. In Mancha Blanca, in a small monastery, there is an image of Our Lady, the patroness of the island. According to legend, it was thanks to her that the hot lava flows stopped in front of the monastery. And many more wonders can be found in Lanzarote, where you can ride camels and listen to classical music in a cave, feast on the sweetest local grapes growing on the slopes of volcanoes and buy exotic cacti, swim in the purest turquoise waters and sunbathe on a black sand beach. “A continent in miniature” This is how the island of Gran Canaria is often called in guidebooks, because of the abundance and diversity of natural landscapes and various attractions. The latter with good reason include the crater of the Bandama volcano, to the bottom of which, to a depth of 220 meters, tourists descend along a narrow path. And what a magnificent panorama of the entire island opens from the top of the crater! Or the famous Maspalomas beach, which is a whole 8 km of sand dunes. Interestingly, the temperature of the water washing this place ranges from +20 to +24 degrees all year round. Las Palomas is the oldest resort area of the island. Mostly Scandinavians rest here. Well, the most famous resort area famous for its nightlife is Playa del Engles. And in the extreme south, there is a very calm beach called Playa de las Meloneras. The peculiarity of the island, the third largest after Tenerife and Fuerteventura, is long and deep ravines. They start in the center and end at the sea, where there are many natural sandy beaches. In one of the ravines is Palmitos Park, a botanical garden and a zoo where you can see Canarian parrots, butterflies and even a monitor lizard from Komodo Island. And nearby is a luxurious hotel for fans of tennis. It is worth visiting the island’s capital – the largest Spanish seaport of Las Palmas. And in it: the house-museum of Christopher Columbus, the Cathedral, the Canary Museum, Caam (the Atlantic center of contemporary art). In addition, prehistoric paintings can be seen in the Barranco de Balos gorge. And in the town of Guayadeque – houses of local residents in the caves, a cave church and even a restaurant. By the way, it turns out that living in a cave is quite comfortable: it is not cold in winter, and not hot in summer. At least that’s what the locals say. Gran Canaria is famous for its unusual holidays. First of all, a grandiose carnival taking place at the end of January. In the town of Santa Brigita, a foam festival is held: here everyone is poured with water. In the town of Guia, a cheese festival is held. And in Marsagan there is a festival of water. In another place, there is a puddle festival, when locals and tourists dive into a large pond and catch small fish with their hands. And in the small village of Agaete there is a festival of branches: when crowds of people beat the ocean with tree branches, punishing evil spirits for drought. “A storm frozen in stone” is about the mountains in the town of Tejede, from where the most beautiful view of the island opens up, which you want to return to again and again. As well as on the archipelago of paradise in general, which is only a stone’s throw away – only 7 hours of summer… Travel Safe

RoutesHolidays in the Canary Islands NatureRoutes to the most beautiful viewpoints of the Canary Islands Additional information Canary Islands – PapaYachtingThe Canary Islands, or the Canaries, is an archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. In total it consists of thirteen islands, but only seven of them are inhabited: Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote. It is warm here all year round, the average daily temperature in winter on the coast is +18C + 25C. Crystal clear waters, magnificent swimming coves, unusual black sand beaches, fantastic views – from tropical forests to lifeless Martian landscapes – all this attracts travelers from all over the world to the Canary Islands. What is the best way to explore the islands? Of course on a yacht! Features of yachting in the Canary Islands Yachting in the Canary Islands is especially popular with Russians in November-February. There are several reasons for this. First of all, during this period there are not many options for budget flights to warm countries. And the Canaries are very convenient in this sense: there is a direct Aeroflot flight from Moscow, as well as many affordable options with transfers, for example, via Madrid or Barcelona. Secondly, the prices on these islands are quite democratic for everything: for food in supermarkets, for fuel, for parking in marinas. And the trip as a whole is not so hard on the pocket. Thirdly, in winter the Canary Islands have a large selection of boats, as many yachts from the Balearic Islands and other parts of the Mediterranean migrate here for the winter. But in the summer it is more difficult to rent a yacht in the Canary Islands, there is less choice. Winds and complexity of the region for yachtsmen Winds are predominantly north-easterly, quite strong, 15-30 knots. Calm is rare. Under the cover of the island, you can go by motor, but between the islands it will most likely blow out. Gusts can reach 30-40 knots. The waves here are long, oceanic. They can reach up to 3-4 meters. The islands are separated from each other by a considerable distance, the transitions are quite long, do not forget about this when planning your route. Sometimes it is worth starting from the harbor early in the morning in order to have time to reach the neighboring island during daylight hours. Another feature of yachting in this region is the presence of tides. Keep this in mind when mooring your boat. There are almost always free places in marinas, except for the days before the start of the transatlantic races. Therefore, just in case, we recommend booking in advance. After all, there are very few places for anchorage in the Canary Islands. In general, sailing in the Canary Islands is recommended for experienced sailors. If you are still an inexperienced skipper, we can help you rent a yacht with a captain and you can practice sailing in this difficult region under the guidance of an experienced mentor. Yacht charter in the Canary Islands Charter boat bases are located on three islands: Tenerife (marinas Santa Cruz, San Miguel, Las Galletas, Radazul), Lanzarote (Marina Rubicon, Lansarote) and Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) . If you need to start from another place, you can organize a transfer to the desired point. Basically, yachts are rented from Saturday for a period that is a multiple of a week. Other options are available upon request. The yachts are in good condition, perfectly equipped. In the Canary Islands, not only sailing, but also motor yachts are available for rent. You can make your own itinerary or use one of the options on our website. And to make it easier for you to decide which islands you would like to visit, read our recommendations below. What to see Tenerife – the main and largest island of the archipelago. Beautiful beaches, plenty of activities, interesting excursions, a large charter fleet – the perfect place to start your cruise. There are many harbors on the island, which allows you to approach many beautiful places from the sea. But to visit the most famous sights, we recommend, nevertheless, to devote a full day, or maybe two, to trips around the island and rent a car. So, you should definitely visit the volcano Teide is the highest point in Spain. Altitude 3718 meters above sea level. To get to the top, you need to drive along a mountain serpentine to a mark just above 2000 meters. And then take the funicular up. The views outside the car window are simply mesmerizing. First, deciduous forests, then coniferous, and then you rise above the clouds and lifeless lunar landscapes begin around, formed by frozen lava. There are many viewing platforms along the way, where you can stop and take beautiful photos. Do not forget to take warm sweaters or jackets with you, it is quite cold at the top +1C +6C. Another place with great views is Mask Gorge . It is also easier to get here by car. After the tour, you can have a great lunch at a local family restaurant. The restaurant looks simple, but the food is delicious. A local feature is cactus food. For example, ice cream and digestif. If you are traveling with children, they will be interested in visiting Loro Parque . This is a natural park where different animals live. Here are collected 500 species of birds, dolphins, turtles, sea lions and even penguins. Another place where you can have a great time with the whole family – water park Siam Park . The water paradise, spread over a large open-air area, consists of 25 water attractions. La Gomera Island – the passage from Tenerife to La Gomera is quite short, only 25 miles. It is notable for the fact that often in these places you can meet dolphins and even whales! So keep your eyes peeled and keep your cameras ready. The main stop on the island is in the marina of the city of San Sebastian. Here you can rent a car and explore the area. The island is very beautiful and green. On La Gomera you will see extraordinary relict forests, similar to the scenery of some fairy tales. We advise you to climb to the top to the restaurant Mirador de Abrante. From this point, in clear weather, a stunning view of the ocean and the Teide volcano, located on the neighboring island of Tenerife, opens up. And also the restaurant has a special glass cabin, where you can go for free and feel like a daredevil, standing over the abyss on a transparent glass floor.
La Palma – is another green island in the Canary archipelago. The locals call it Isla Verde. If possible, stay here for a day and explore the island by car. It takes a long time to get to the top, but it’s worth it. Having passed the most beautiful pine and laurel forests, you will find yourself above the clouds. The view from the top is simply mesmerizing. Absolute silence, floating clouds, the ocean, and the whole island from a bird’s eye view. And below you is the crater of the Caldera de Taburiente volcano. To be able to linger and take pictures, do not forget to bring warm sweaters, the temperature at the top is invigorating, just above zero. And at the very top, another surprise awaits you: an astrophysical observatory. It consists of several structures and huge telescopes. Santa Cruz de la Palma – the capital of the island, a very pleasant town for walking. Colored houses, whose facades are made in colonial style, attract the eye. It is also very pleasant to dine in local restaurants and drink Canary wine or Sangria. El Hierro Island is the smallest of the seven islands. From the board of the yacht, the island seems absolutely impregnable – solid rocks and cliffs. But don’t despair, in the south of the island there is a marina, La Restinga, in the northwest marina La Estaca, and in the northeast you can anchor next to Punta de Caleta. Surprisingly, most of the volcanoes of the Canary archipelago are located right here, on this tiny piece of land. There are craters both above and below ground. Fear not, the last eruption here was over 200 years ago. Underwater volcanoes are just a paradise for divers. Dive equipment can be rented from the diving center in La Restinga. Gran Canaria – Many yachtsmen know the name of the island even if they have never been there. After all, this is the starting point of the famous race across the Atlantic, ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers). In October-December, before the start of the race, it is noisy and crowded. It is better to find out the availability of places in marinas in advance. If you dream of participating in such a landmark event as the Transatlantic Regatta, PapaYachting will help you with the organization. If you are alone, then we will find you a place in a Russian-speaking or English-speaking crew. Do you have a whole team? Then contact us to rent a yacht specially equipped for such a transition. Gran Canaria is a very lively island. In Las Palmas, it is worth taking a walk through the historic center of the city, where there are many interesting buildings and museums. And there are many shops, restaurants and clubs. We also recommend visiting the towns of Telde and Puerto Rico. It is interesting that the beaches here, unlike, for example, from Tenerife and La Palma, are not with black volcanic, but with golden and even white sand. It’s just imported sand. One of these chic beaches, El Hornillo, is located next to the large yacht port in Pasito Blanco. But one of the most picturesque towns of Gran Canaria is Puerto Mogan. White houses, colored shutters, everything is immersed in colorful bougainvillea. This place is also called the “Canarian Venice”, because the city is indented with canals. An interesting natural attraction located in the southern part of the island of Gran Canaria is the dunes of Maspalomas. It is both a beach and a natural monument. The dunes are like a miniature desert. You can walk along the dunes both on foot and on a rented camel. Nearby is an old operating lighthouse, climbing which you can see the surroundings in all its glory. Yacht moorings in the Gran Canaria region are possible only in marinas, which are plentiful on this island: Puerto de Las Palmas, Anfi del Mar, Pasito Blanco, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan, Puerto de las Nieves, Arguineguin. Fuerteventura – the best beaches in the Canaries can be found here. The beaches are large, with light fine sand. There is also a stable wind zone, so this island is popular with windsurfers and kiteboarders. For these sports, we recommend stopping at the port of Puerto de Cooralejo. Nearby is an 8-kilometer beach with golden dunes. If, on the contrary, you are looking for a quiet place, protected from the winds, then anchor in the area of the beaches of Playa de Guinijimar or Lajita. Fuerteventura has no lush vegetation, and the landscape is calm in gray-brown tones. But the island has a rich fauna: many goats, donkeys, egrets, vultures, chipmunks, lizards. But there are no snakes and poisonous insects at all. Lanzarote Island is an island of extinct volcanoes. Hundreds of craters create a truly fantastic landscape. This island should definitely be included in your yachting itinerary. We recommend mooring in Puerto Calero Marinalocated in the southeast of the island. The marina is designed for 446 boats, there is water and electricity, repair shops, shops, restaurants, and the airport is 15 minutes away. It is good to make a stop in the vicinity of the town of Puerto del Carmen. It is a lively tourist destination with over a hundred restaurants, shopping malls, bars and discos, and a lively nightlife. Want to see something unusual? Ready to dive underwater? Then you are in the Marina Rubicon. About 300 meters away is the modern underwater museum Museo Atlántico Lanzarote. 300 human-sized sculptures, installed at the bottom of the ocean, delight someone, and inspire fear in someone. Inspection of the exposition is carried out accompanied by an experienced diver. Whatever you are looking for in a sailing holiday – good sailing practice or measured sailing with stops at beaches and resort towns, excellent sea fishing or contemplation of dolphins and whales in their natural environment, exploring natural parks or excursions – the Canary Islands will definitely meet your expectations . Tours to the Canary Islands from Ekaterinburg — 2021You can describe for a long time what a good vacation in the south is, talk about a pleasant climate, light wind, hot sun, ocean waves, sunny palm trees and warm sand. And you can just say one word and everything will immediately become clear. And this word is Canaries! Spain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. In the last nine months of 2017, the number was 45.8 million, Tourism Minister Miguel Sebastian said at a press conference. And this is not surprising, because Spain is so famous for its even, mild and healthy climate, especially in the Canary Islands. Holidays in the Canary Islands will give you the opportunity to spend time on the beach and swim almost all year round, as there is no sweltering heat in summer, and thanks to the golf stream in winter, you can comfortably swim in the ocean. The Canary Islands is an autonomous region within Spain. The archipelago includes seven large islands and several small ones. Due to the geographical location and special climate, you can relax on the islands almost all year round. The “Islands of Eternal Spring”, as they are often called, is one of the most popular tourist destinations. HistoryIn ancient times, before the conquest of the islands by Europeans, the islands of the archipelago were inhabited by Guanches. Their level of development was quite low. They did not know how to process metal, they used only stone tools and weapons. They were mainly engaged in primitive agriculture and cattle breeding. The conquest of the Canary Islands by the Spanish conquistadors began at the beginning of the 15th century and lasted about 100 years. The natives were exterminated, sold into slavery or assimilated with settlers from Europe. After a while, almost nothing remained of the local culture. When expanding to the American continent, the Canary Islands were the most important transit point on the way to the New World. For several centuries, they were subjected to regular raids by pirates, from which the cities and population suffered greatly. The development of the tourism industry began at the end of the 19th century, and by the middle of the 20th century, tourism had become one of the leading sectors of the economy. Getting thereAlmost every island in the Canary archipelago has an international airport with direct flights from major European cities. The air harbors of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, La Palma, Lanzarote receive daily flights from the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. Direct flights from Russia are carried out only to the airport of the island of Tenerife. Aeroflot Airlines operates regular flights from Sheremetyevo to Tenerife-South several times a week. The cost of a round-trip ticket is 300-350 euros. A more economical option would be connecting flights. Tickets through Madrid or Eindhoven can cost a tourist 260-300 euros round trip. In addition, connecting flights will allow you to get to other resorts in the archipelago. Canary IslandsThe archipelago consists of seven islands of volcanic origin: Palma, Gran Canaria, Gomera, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Hierro. With the exception of Gomera and Hierro, the rest of the islands are chosen by beach tourists. Gran CanariaGran Canaria is the third largest island in the archipelago, in no way inferior to neighboring Tenerife in terms of tourist infrastructure and beaches. More than three million tourists visit it every year. The presence on the island of nature reserves, colorful landscapes and amazing landscapes makes it an attractive sightseeing holiday. Gran Canaria is included in the list of biosphere reserves under the protection of UNESCO. Some parts of the island are forbidden to visit, they are included in the zone of the so-called “protected territories” (there are about 32). The highest point in Gran Canaria is Pico de las Nieves (height 1949 meters above sea level) divides the island into two climatic zones. The south of the island is noticeably drier and hotter, while the northern part is characterized by cooler and more humid weather. The main resorts of Gran Canaria are located in the southern part of the island, including the famous Maspalomas, whose coast is included in the list of the 100 best beaches in the world. The northern part presents excellent opportunities for outdoor activities. The capital of the island, Las Palmas, located in the north, offers tourists a lot of entertainment and an active nightlife. TenerifeTenerife is the largest and most popular island of the Canary archipelago. The Spaniards know a lot about holidays and have a good idea of how to organize it. This fully applies to Tenerife. A string of resorts, long beaches, water parks, cultural, natural and historical attractions will not let you get bored even for a second. The island’s beaches cater to all tastes, from secluded coves hidden in mountain gorges to wide, long coastlines of black volcanic sand and white-sand beaches where seagulls lazily fly in search of prey. Traditionally, the south of the island is a favorite place for beach tourists, where it is always warm and the sun is hot. Due to the climatic features of Tenerife, a beach holiday in the south is possible all year round. But tourists are not satisfied with the beach alone. The island is a nature reserve with more than 1200 species of plants found nowhere else. The Teide volcano is, perhaps, the main attraction of Tenerife. For ships passing by, the 3718-meter-high mountain serves as the main reference point. Teide is the third highest volcano in the world after Hawaii’s Mauna Kei and Mauna Loa. FuerteventuraFuerteventura is the ideal place for a quiet and relaxing holiday on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the fact that the island is the second largest, second only to Tenerife, the small density of resorts and long beaches make it unlike the popular islands of the Canary archipelago. Fuerteventura cannot boast of colorful natural landscapes and lush vegetation. The coastline of the island is 340 km, most of which are white sand beaches. Therefore, Fuerteventura is called the most “African” island of the archipelago. The beaches are a real treasure of the island, for which tourists come here and windsurfers from all over the world have chosen to come here. From the vegetation here are date palms, cacti and other types of succulents, agave. As with all the Canary Islands, the climate in Fuerteventura allows for year-round beach holidays. The air temperature in winter rarely drops below 22 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature is stable at around 20 degrees Celsius. An important feature of the island is the absence of pronounced climatic zones and precipitation, which are often found in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. La PalmaLa Palma (or San Miguel de la Palma to be correct) is the fifth largest island in the Canary archipelago and the third largest in terms of population. Very often the island is confused with Palma de Mallorca and the capital of Gran Canaria, Las Palmas. By the standards of the Canary Islands, tourism in La Palma is underdeveloped. The resorts of the island are significantly inferior in opportunities to neighboring Tenerife, Gran Canaria and even Lanzarote. There are few hotels, the island is able to receive and accommodate no more than 7000 tourists at the same time. There are small sandy beaches, consisting mainly of black volcanic sand. Due to the presence of mountain ranges, La Palma is a gathering place for lovers of active sports. Every year a large number of paragliding, mountain biking and trekking fans fly here. At the beginning of the 21st century, it was included in the list of world biosphere reserves by UNESCO. On the territory of the island there are a large number of natural parks, pine and laurel forests, which cover more than a third of the land. The main attraction of La Palma is the crater of the Caldera volcano, with a diameter of more than 9 km. At this point, the National Park Caldera de Taburiente was formed. La Palma has a rich historical heritage. Along with Antwerp and Seville, the port of Santa Cruz de la Palma (the capital of the island) was the third most important port in the Spanish kingdom during the Middle Ages, when Spain reigned supreme at sea. LanzaroteLanzarote is the easternmost and most picturesque island of the archipelago. For its “lunar” landscapes and the presence of more than 300 craters on the territory, it was called the “island of fire-breathing mountains” (Isla del Fuego). The unusual name of the island was given in honor of the navigator from Genoa Lancelotto Malocello, who discovered this piece of land in 1312. The fertile soil of the island is hidden under a large layer of lava ash, which greatly complicates farming. Therefore, on the island you can find fields consisting of unusual rings, in the middle of which plants grow (vineyards in lava). At the end of the 20th century, Lanzarote was included in the UNESCO list of world biosphere reserves. Lanzarote has many beaches for every taste: black with volcanic sand, snow-white and orange. The best beaches are located in the south of the island in the resort of Puerto del Carmen, which is the main tourist area of the coast. There are a large number of hotels, entertainment for tourists, active nightlife. The attraction of the resort is the promenade Avenida de las Playas (Avenida de las Playas), which daily gathers thousands of tourists on its streets. The main attraction of the island is the Timanfaya National Park, whose Martian landscapes of orange mountains and valleys delight travelers indescribably. The El Diablo restaurant should become an obligatory item in the program of visiting the park, where a dish is prepared on a volcanic grill in the presence of a visitor. GomeraLa Gomera – a small island with a population of just over 20 thousand inhabitants is unofficially called the “greenest” island of the archipelago. La Gomera is located 30 km. west of Tenerife and is an unexplored corner surrounded by picturesque landscapes and lush vegetation. The best way to explore the island is on foot, travelers are provided with a variety of hiking trails that pass through the most amazing places on the island. Gomera’s main attraction is the Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The highest point of the island is located in the park – the peak of the same name with a height of 1487 meters above sea level. In the south of the island, you can visit the crater of the long-extinct volcano La Caldera and the famous “Valley of the Kings” Valle Gran Rey, a colorful bohemian village far from tourist routes and civilization. Gomera is usually visited as a day trip from Tenerife. During this time, you can have time to see all the main attractions and get a complete picture of the island. HierroEl Hierro is the smallest island in the Canary family. The area is 268 sq. km. and a population of just over 10 thousand inhabitants. Despite the small number of sandy beaches and the lack of a developed tourist infrastructure, Hierro annually attracts travelers from the world. Beautiful nature, picturesque bays and opportunities to explore the underwater world of the Canary Islands are a definite plus of this place. Hierro is the best place for diving. The chic underwater flora and fauna of the coast of the island, crystal clear water seem to beckon to study. For active tourists, there are walking routes around the island, during which you can visit the village of Guinea, which is considered the ancient settlement of the indigenous inhabitants of the island – the Bimbaches tribe. Hierro also offers active sports such as paragliding and paragliding.

AttractionsThe islands of the archipelago are home to a large number of attractions, both historical and natural. Many of them are unique. Teide VolcanoThe most famous place in Tenerife, the Teide volcano, rises to 3718 meters. This is the highest mountain, both in the entire archipelago and in Spain. The slope of the volcano and the surrounding area is the territory of the national park. Located in the central part of the island. The road ends at an altitude of 2356 meters. Further, the way up continues on the funicular, which delivers tourists to the observation deck. Access to the summit and a hike to the crater is possible only with special permits, which must be issued in advance. The elevation difference when climbing Teide is significant, and the air at the top is thinner than at the bottom. This should be kept in mind for people with health problems. In case of bad weather, the funicular does not operate. From the top of Teide, an impressive picture of the whole of Tenerife opens up. In good weather most of the neighboring islands are visible. For prepared tourists, a route has been laid for self-climbing the mountain. Timanfaya ParkTimanfaya Park covers a vast area in the west of Lanzarote. Most of the national park is an area of volcanic activity. There are special travel rules here. Visitors on foot can only travel along special routes accompanied by a guide, by car or bus along a specific route. Leaving the vehicle is prohibited. The territory is covered with bizarre pieces of solidified lava and volcanic sand, there are craters and faults in the ground, from which steam or smoke escapes. The famous restaurant El Diablo is located in the park. All dishes here are prepared in the heat rising from the bowels of the earth. Just 15 meters from the surface is a layer of magma with a temperature of 600 °C. One of the most popular shows for tourists is the setting fire to a bundle of straw in a crevice of earth and the formation of a geyser of steam after pouring water into an earthen pit. This attraction looks very impressive. Maspalomas DunesIn the south of Gran Canaria there is a unique natural park called Maspalomas Dunes. Here, on a large territory, there is a huge mass of sand, forming real dunes, which are constantly changing their shape and moving. The spectacle is very interesting and educational. Numerous tourists come to see this miracle of nature. The dunes are protected as over time the wind blows the sand into the ocean. It is curious that this natural phenomenon was formed not so long ago. In 1755, after an earthquake, a tsunami brought a huge mass of sand deep into the island, which then formed this unique landscape. At the same time, its own ecosystem was formed, consisting of certain plants and animals. Inside the kingdom of sand is Lake La Charca, where birds stop on long-distance migrations. On the territory of Riu Palace Maspalomas, a large hotel complex, there is an observation deck Mirador del Dunas, from where you can admire the panoramas of endless sands that resemble the landscapes of the Sahara. GarajonayHomer, one of the smallest islands in the archipelago, has an interesting Garajonay park. Unique laurel forests have been preserved here, the age of which exceeds 2 million years. Such places remained only in some of the Azores and Madeira. On Homer, unlike the rest of the Canary Islands, there are no traces of volcanic activity. This made it possible to preserve a number of endemic plants and animals. The rocks covered with vegetation look especially picturesque and unusual. The forest of laurel trees itself is quite gloomy. He looks very mysterious and mysterious. It is interesting that dead branches remain at the bottom of the laurels, which block the green crowns of trees that are closer to the light from the view of a person. The laurels themselves are quite high, often they grow up to 40 meters. Other attractionsThe world of the Canary Islands is bizarre and varied. Man-made amusement parks are very popular in Tenerife. “Siam Park”, which is a large water park, decorated in Thai style, is visited by many tourists. The abundance of water attractions, a well-designed children’s area are interesting for both children and their parents. “Loro Park” is also one of the favorite places for holidaymakers in Tenerife. Numerous rare animals, birds and reptiles are kept on its territory. Shows with dolphins, killer whales and sea lions are regularly held. Gorillas, various parrots, penguins, sharks – this is not a complete list of animals that can be seen here. Lanzarote hosts numerous works by César Manrique, an architect and designer who organically combined man-made elements with natural landscapes. The César Manrique House Museum and his other creations are unique works of art. In the center of Gran Canaria, a real miracle was created by the forces of nature – a 60-meter rock of Roque Nublo of a very unusual shape. Most of all, this formation resembles a human finger that points to the sky. A tourist route leads to the rock with impressive views of the surroundings. On the island of Palma, the most famous place is the Caldera de Taburiente. This is a huge crater of a former volcano. Its diameter is about 8 km. There are numerous hiking trails here. The small protected island of Lobos is a huge reserve where birds nest. On many islands of the archipelago, small towns have survived, which have practically not changed their historical appearance. In Tenerife, these are La Orotava, Candelaria, La Laguna. Visiting these places will help you get to know the history and culture of the Canaries better. Rest in the Canary Islands is an elixir of youthThe temperamental character of the sultry Spaniards is expressed in everything. Take even an extreme vacation. On the island of Tenerife, you can go up with a paraglider to get a bird’s eye view of its southern landscapes. By the way, quite recently a record of the oldest Canary paraglider pilots was set there. Modesta is 85 years old, and Ureliana is 82 years old! And despite their age, they both spent 25 minutes in a state of free soaring over the Canary coast. They started in tandem from Mount Isania, which is located in the south of the island, and landed on the beach near their home. When asked what the secret of their activity is, they said that a warm climate, ocean water and a good mood are the key to a long and happy life. The second most popular Canarian resort after Tenerife is Gran Canaria. Despite its small size, it can be called a whole mini-continent. It has everything for a measured beach holiday, and for lovers of excursions, and for outdoor activities. It was in Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, one of the two capitals of the autonomous community of the Canary Islands, that Christopher Columbus made a stop before his first voyage to America. He stopped here on his way back. Now a museum in the Vegeta quarter is named after him. Gran Canaria is suitable for those who prefer a more relaxing holiday, as well as connoisseurs of good music. On January 10, Las Palmas will host the opening of the XXVIII Festival of the Canary Islands Music (XXVIII Festival de Musica de Canarias). The best classical music performers and symphony orchestras from all over the world will perform at the international festival. Carnival in the Canary IslandsWinter holidays are an excellent occasion to visit Tenerife, the largest in terms of area and population of the Canary Islands. You can leave your native northern city and instantly find yourself in a colorful and sunny carnival in the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto de la Cruz. “Winter Fiesta” – this is another name for the carnival, in which all residents and guests of the island participate. Carnival in the Canary Islands is one of the largest in Europe and second only to the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro in the world. The main activities of the carnival in Tenerife in 2019year will be held from 08 to 22 February. Participants of the procession dress up in colorful outfits and put on masks. All the streets of the cities of the island do not stop for two weeks, during the holiday dances and various events are organized. RestaurantsWhy invent electricity if everything has already been invented before us? This is exactly what the chef of the El Diablo restaurant thinks. He does not need pans, or a hot stove, or gas, and even more so – matches. Modern technologies only alienate tourists from the true culture, even food. The world’s only volcanic grill is located in the courtyard of the restaurant. The volcano has not erupted since 1824, since then it has not caused inconvenience to residents, but what a pleasure! It is on it that they prepare their signature dish in El Diablo. It looks quite natural and convenient: an iron grate is installed above the basalt well, on which meat is placed. High temperature vapors constantly come out of the well. Inside the volcano, the air temperature can reach from 400 to 600 degrees Celsius. Reaching the grate, the air cools and becomes suitable for cooking. In this lava oven, chefs cook lamb, chicken and fish, using them for traditional Canarian dishes. For health, this method of processing food is absolutely harmless and even vice versa. The only negative is that the geothermal kitchen is open only in the first half of the day. The Volcanic Furnace was built by local architect Cesar Manrique almost half a century ago. It was a kind of tribute to the owners of the land of Fire Island, Lanzarote, on which he wanted to build his restaurant. Lanzarote is the easternmost island of the Canary archipelago. The restaurant is part of the Timanfaya Volcanoes National Park. It was not easy to build on the island of Fire, because the heat that the earth is saturated with is too great. The builders needed a solid foundation, and they laid nine layers of basalt rock, some of which remained unused – and the geothermal furnace was born. By the way, every tourist can test the reliability of an ancient, but smoothly operating invention, it is enough to take at least a couple of sausages with you. The restaurant offers panoramic views of the volcanic park, craters and dried lava.

For a two-bedroom flat in such areas, you might pay $500 (approx. €499, £433, $655 CAD, $738 AUD) a month or a little bit more. These cheaper options also have basic amenities available and you might be lucky enough to get accommodation that comes with an incredible view. Tenerife Weather and Climate – Tenerife TouristCurrent Weather Conditions (Tenerife South Airport)
Snow-capped Mount Teide, Tenerife The Canary Islands lie at around 28° North and enjoy a pleasant sub-tropical climate with average daily maximums of over 20°C throughout the year. Cooled by the Canary Current and the prevalent north-easterly Trade Winds, temperatures are slightly cooler than would normally be expected at this latitude (the same as Orlando in Florida and less than 300km from the Western Sahara). This north-easterly breeze is at its most consistent during the summer months and helps to keep temperatures in the high twenties rather then the mid thirties. Micro-ClimatesThe Rain Shadow effect caused by the mountainous interior keeps the South-west very arid. Conversely, most of the island’s rainfall is received on the northern slopes between 600 and 1800 meters above sea level. An interesting phenomenon that can often be observed on Tenerife is known as the Sea of Clouds. This happens when the moist trade winds (sea level) condense as they rise over the steep northerly slope of the Island and then meet a temperature inversion layer (drier and warmer air at a higher altitude) at around 1700m. These factors combined with the island’s diverse topography mean that there are a number of micro-climates on this relatively small island. The south, lying in rain shadow, is the driest and warmest part of the Island, however temperatures and rainfall aren’t as radically different to Santa Cruz in the north as one might expect. The most dramatic differences in climate are often between areas that are actually adjacent to one another; Santa Cruz receives an average of 214mm of rain per year and has an average temperature of 21.2°C, travel just a few kilometres to the Airport near La Laguna (at an altitude of 617m) and the average temperature is just 16.5°C and it receives a whopping 557mm of rain per year. Looking for the sunniest spot on the Island? Head inland and drive above the clouds – the observatory at Izaña records an average of 3433 hours of sunshine per year. High AltitudeTenerife has Spain’s highest mountain – Teide (3718m) – which is often be covered in snow during the winter months. It is not uncommon for Northern European tourists to bask in sunshine in Puerto de la Cruz with the snowy peak of Teide in full view. CalimaOccasionally, when the wind comes from the east or south-east off the Sahara Desert, the temperatures soar and the air becomes thick with fine red dust. While Tenerife is not as badly affected by this phenomenon as the Eastern Canary Islands, temperatures can become unpleasant and the fog-like dust-laden air can cause problems for people with respiratory conditions.

Holiday on Tenerife: The Biggest of the Canary Islands
Anytime Guests Although the island of Tenerife is part of Spain, it is situated west of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean and many kilometres from the capital Madrid. The Canary Islands, which consist of the main islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and, of course, Tenerife, are located approximately on the latitude where Morocco borders the territory of the Western Sahara. The latter is the largest and most populous island in the world and has great differences between north and south. This can be an advantage for visitors as well as anyone who is planning to spend a holiday in Tenerife because different activities are possible all year round. Many of these are presented in more detail in this article. If you are still looking for a suitable holiday accommodation, take a look at this selection of apartments. It is most usual for visitors to travel to Tenerife by plane because the island has two international airports, one in the north and one in the south. Tenerife South Airport is the largest of them. However, it is also possible to arrive by ferry. Although, from the Spanish mainland, the crossing takes almost two days. Weather in TenerifeIn Tenerife, there is a pleasant and warm climate all year round due to the trade winds and the Canary Stream. In fact, nowhere in the world is the difference so small between summer and winter temperatures, which is an average of 24 and 15 degrees, respectively. This is why Tenerife is often referred to as the island of eternal spring. It is also subdivided into two distinct climatic zones by the mountain Pico del Teide, the highest elevation in Spain at 3,718 metres. The warmest is usually in the south and west, while the east and north are somewhat windier. Weather: Tenerife South The south is more sunny, dryer and warmer than the north, which is why most holidaymakers opt for this part of the island. However, rainfall can also occur there, as the microclimate is still very different in the south. Weather: Tenerife North In contrast to the partially desert-based south, the north of the island is generally greener and more often cloudy. In addition to the more frequent rainfall, especially the strong winds are characteristic for the north. Tenerife Beach Holidays The island has numerous idyllic beaches with various types of sand, most of which is dark and volcanic in origin. On the beautiful beaches you can surf, dive, whale and dolphin watch and much more. The warm and calm water is, of course, also ideal for swimming. Most of the beaches are close to the tourist resorts and are characterised by the cleanliness and good supply of toilets, showers, sun beds and umbrellas. Tenerife South On the south coast of Tenerife are the two most famous resorts: Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. A lot of bathing enthusiasts choose their beaches, which is why there is an extremely wide range of leisure activities. Playa de las Américas leads to the town of Arona. Here, there is a white sandy beach, which is one of the safest on the island and is, therefore, ideal for children. In addition, there is, of course, a wide selection of dining options. Tenerife North It is not just the south which boasts fantastic beaches, as the north also has a lot to offer. One of the most popular is Playa de las Teresitas in the region around the capital Santa Cruz. The El Bollullo beach in La Orotava is considered one of the most peaceful on the island. The dark sand stretches far in the protected bay of Playa San Marcos in Icod de Los Vinos. In the holiday centre of Puerto de la Cruz is the beach Playa Jardín, surrounded by colourful gardens, palm trees and a great water park. East Coast To the east is the beautiful beach area of El Médano, where the world championship in kitesurfing took place. The fantastic waves, which are ideal for daring jumps and tricks, attract many other water sports enthusiasts from all over the world. The beach of the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife was rebuilt in 1973 to make it safer. Originally, the sand was actually black, but today it is almost completely white. If it gets too hot in the sun, you can make yourself comfortable in the shade of a palm tree. Although the wind in Santa Cruz is often very strong, the beach is one of the most visited on the island. The water usually remains calm and is, therefore, suitable for swimming. West Coast The pristine beaches of Costa Adeje are among the best on the island and contribute to their reputation as an impressive holiday destination. Playa de Fanabe offers a fine sandy beach stretching 700 metres. There is a 2-level beach promenade, which invites you to relax within numerous bars and restaurants. At the foot of the Teno Mountains, in the north-west of Tenerife, lies the picturesque village of Masca, surrounded by a beautiful landscape dominated by the Masca Gorge. At the northern end of this canyon is Buenavista del Norte, with a 400-metre long and 15-metre wide hidden beach with black sand and calm water. The beach can only be reached after a 4-kilometre hike or by boat. To the south of Masca lie the towns of Acantilado de Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena, famous for their steep coastlines and their excellent sandy beach. Connection to the other Canary Islands Los Cristianos, a lively place with beautiful beaches and a busy port, can be reached from the south of the island of Tenerife, where you can take trips and various excursions. There is also a ferry which takes you to the neighbouring island of La Gomera. The ferry is located in the main port of San Sebastián de La Gomera. Alternatively, you can take a longer crossing to the smallest of the seven large Canary Islands, El Hierro, and after about two and a half to three hours to Puerto de la Estaca. In the north-west of the Canary Islands is La Palma, the most wooded of the islands. Of the almost 90,000 inhabitants, about 17,000 live in the capital Santa Cruz de La Palma. From there, you can travel to Gran Canaria. The probably most famous of the Canary Islands impresses visitors with an incredibly diverse landscape, which is often described as a continent in the miniature format. On the island, tourists will find everything from vibrant nightlife in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to tropical forests to fascinating beaches. In the north-west of the island is the village of Agaete, which impresses with its many white houses, which are a strong contrast to the dark sand. Located in the north-east of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote can be reached via the international airport south of the capital Arrecife or by ferry from Cádiz or from the other islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. The latter offers a fascinating combination of the volcanic and desert landscape. In addition, especially the north around Puerto del Rosario is a true paradise for surfers.

Peak season:
There are two busy seasons in Tenerife: December through February when many older tourists descend on the island, and May through October when families and young people come looking for a good time. Travelers should try to make sure their flights to the Canary Islands are secured a few months before you intend to travel, or even earlier to save more! February can be very expensive to fly into Tenerife as it sees the Carnival, the second biggest carnival in the world. Other months also see various events such as the Fiesta de San Marcos at the end of April in Tenerife, Corpus Christi in Lanzarote, which is a fantastic colorful event around the middle of June (although the dates change every year so keep an eye out for that) and the Fiesta de San Gines in Gran Canaria around the middle of August. There are loads of other events too; some more religious spectacles that are usually followed with amazing firework displays, and some with dancing into the night. May to September is the hottest period of the year, and you’ll need to be prepared for the Calima, a dusty wind from Africa which makes the islands incredibly hot and humid. March to May is a pleasant time, with temperatures not exceeding the mid-twenties (with the exception of a Calima) and you can find cheap flights to the Canary Islands relatively easily too.
Off season:
March, April and November are considered to be the off-season in Tenerife, and these are probably the best times to find a travel bargain. In November there is extremely heavy rain which usually results in road floods, as the islands aren’t all that compatible with the severe and sudden downpour they receive. If you don’t mind the rain though then you can find the cheapest flights to the Canary Islands around this time.
When is the best time to book a flight to Canary Islands?
You’ll want to book your flights to the Canary Islands at least three months before you fly, and if you want to find the best prices then aim to secure your flight tickets for March through to early May. The festivals do drive up the price of some flights, especially the Carnival in February, so make sure to take this into consideration if you are planning to visit then.

Canary Islands Travel Guide
The Canary Islands off the coast of Spain are a delight for sun-worshippers, outdoors enthusiasts, and shoppers alike.
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. Sun-kissed beaches and exciting resorts promise good times for party-lovers and families alike. But away from the usual tourist haunts is an island of infinitely natural beauty.
The snow-capped summit of Mount Teide – Spain’s highest mountain at almost 13,100 feet above sea-level – rises from the center of Tenerife, providing an unforgettable backdrop. In Teide National Park (the most visited national park in Spain), the Corona Forestal Nature Park and the Anaga and Teno Rural Parks show off Tenerife’s remarkable diversity. More than 600 types of flora and fauna are unique to this part of the world.
A wide variety of wildlife and terrain calls Tenerife home; from rugged rocky coves and lush greenery in the north, to warm, dry beach resort areas in the south. Visitors will also find a cosmopolitan experience in the thriving capital city of Santa Cruz, a haven for bargain shoppers looking for tax-free merchandise.
Home of the Canary Islands’ capital city, Santa Cruz, Tenerife is a great place to visit as a family, with your partner, or on your own. There’s a wide range of resorts offering a variety of accommodations and entrainment options, as well as a number of natural attractions such as Mount Teide, the highest Spanish peak, and the surrounding National Park.
The island is a gastronome’s delight with plenty of locally sourced fresh fish, a wine trade dating back to the 16th century, and a healthy cheese export industry. There are also ample opportunities for shopping, visiting museums, checking out ancient churches, taking a day trip to one of the wildlife or aqua parks, or simply relaxing and soaking up the sun.
The laws of Tenerife state that drinking, driving and smoking are only permitted by those who are 18 years or older, and drivers must obey the same laws that are enforced in Spain. There is also a law preventing private property rental to tourists, so any visitor is advised to seek accommodations from commercial sources.
What’s the weather like in the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are known as the islands of eternal springtime and Tenerife is no exception. There is little difference among seasons here in terms of temperature. It’s rarely lower than 59 degrees in December through February and hovers around 80 June through August. But if you venture inland to Teide National Park, the high altitude provides an average annual temperature of only 48 degrees.
How long is the flight to the Canary Islands?
Flight lengths into the Canary Islands depend on your starting location, and the total time may vary slightly if you have to take a transfer plane from the Madrid Barajas International Airport to the Islands. In general, flights from Los Angeles, California are approximately 12 hours including transfer time, and flights from New York are around 7 hours with transfer time. Flights from Florida run around 8 hours, while flights from Washington are approximately 11 hours. If you’re flying into the Canary Islands from London, plan to be in the air for just under 5 hours.
Which airlines fly to the Canary Islands?
Each of the Canary Islands has its own airport, and each airport serves a variety of international carriers. If you’re flying from North America, you must first fly to the Madrid International Airport and take a connecting flight to the islands. Madrid Barajas International Airport serves multiple U. S. and International carriers, so you should have no problem booking your flight. Airlines served by Madrid Barajas International Airport include American Airlines, Delta, United Airlines, British Airways, Air France and Turkish Airlines. The airport also serves several charter airlines for transfers to the Canary Islands.
The main airports on the Canary Islands are Tenerife Norte and Tenerife Sur. Tenerife Norte handles all of the inter-island flights and flights to Spain, while Tenerife Sur serves the international carriers, including Air France, British Airways, Air Europa and Brussels Airlines.
What should you pack for a flight to the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands reside in a tropical climate, with perfect temperatures around 75 degrees Fahrenheit throughout spring and summer. Temperatures dip down to around 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter months. While it doesn’t snow in the Canary Islands, rain is common, with the wettest month being December.
If you’re traveling to the Canary Islands for spring break or a summer holiday, pack cool, light, summer clothes to wear during the day, and include a few sweaters or a light jacket for when the temperatures drop at night. For winter trips, pack a rain parka, an umbrella, long pants and a few light jackets. The sun is at its hottest during late morning and early afternoon, so make sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a sun hat if you plan to spend a lot of time on the beach.
Additional items you may wish to pack include a swimsuit, a fanny pack to hold your phone, money and other essentials, travel-sized toiletries and a travel-sized first aid kit. It’s also a good idea to pack some snacks and reading materials in your carry-on bag, especially if you have to transfer planes in Madrid.
Getting to and around the Canary Islands
Tenerife (South):
Tenerife has two airports, one in the north of the island and one in the south. Generally, most people fly into the south to visit Los Cristianos, Las Americas and Costa Adeje, among other tourist hot spots. You’ll also find cheap flight tickets easier to come by for the southern airport. That said, you can find your way to Santa Cruz, the capital of the island, quite easily. Bus routes 111 and 343 both operate directly from the airport and go to the major tourist stops in the south before venturing off into the north of the island. Once your flights to the Canary Islands land you can decide which route would be better suited for you, depending on your destination. You could also look into adding on hotel transfers, which can help reduce any hassle once you land. Lastly you can jump into a taxi, although these will set you back a bit more money than the bus they are also convenient and an effective way to travel.
Lanzarote:
The airport is only 3.5 miles away from the capital city of Arrecife and the easiest way to get there is to hail a taxi from outside of arrivals. You’re best to try and book these online during the peak months of the year though as there can be long lines of people waiting for a taxi. Another option is to secure a transfer with your hotel once you have booked your flights to the Canary Islands and then just wait to be picked up upon arrival. You can find public buses outside of Terminal 2 which will take you to Arrecife in around 15 minutes. If you need to go to Costa Teguise or anywhere else on the island, you’ll need to travel to the bus station in Arrecife first and then find your next bus from there.
Gran Canaria:
Your transportation options are slightly more limited with the airport in Gran Canaria, although your best bet is to try and pre-arrange transport with your hotel before you leave. Once you’ve secured your flights to Gran Canaria you can look into which hotel offers the service and go from there. If that seems too pricey then you can hail a taxi from outside of the airport. Finally, you could take a bus; thought these aren’t overly frequent and you may find yourself waiting awhile.
What are some things to do in the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are a unique vacation spot, as each island has something to offer. The Inter-Island ferry makes it easy to island hop and take in all the sights and sounds of the entire archipelago, so you won’t miss a thing.
For a fun day on one of the archipelago’s most popular beaches, take the ferry over to Playa de Mas Palomas on Gran Canaria Island. Explore the amazing natural sand dunes and visit the historic lighthouse that dates back to 1890. When you’re done sightseeing, slip on your bathing suit and head to the beautiful ocean shore. Soak up the sun, then cool off in the crystal blue water.
If you’re hoping to go home with some amazing souvenirs or some island fashions, spend the day in Las Palmas on Gran Canaria Island. This quaint little town offers beautiful architecture and tree-lined streets with shops and cafes at every corner. Peruse the boutiques on Calle Triana Street, then stop by one of the many cafes for a sweet treat or some authentic Spanish cuisine. When you’ve finished shopping and dining, stop by Las Palmas’ oldest cathedral, the Catedral de Santa Ana. Built in the 1500s, the architecture of this structure is a must-see.
For an invigorating hike combined with beautiful scenery in one of Spain’s most popular natural attractions, visit Caldera de Taburiente National Park on La Palma Island. The scenery in Caldera de Taburiente National Park is so absolutely breathtaking, that some people say photos can’t do it justice, it is something that must be physically experienced. Pack a lunch and plenty of water, and explore the hiking trails that sit surrounded by volcanic peaks and pine groves. Before you venture off on your own, stop by the El Paso Visitor’s Center at the park entrance for a map and information on the trails. If you’re not in the mood for a hike, you can also drive up to some of the peaks and marvel at the views.

Book cheap flights with Ryanair and discover the Canary Islands!
Overview:
The Canary islands are one of Europe’s top holiday destinations, and it’s easy to see why. Obviously, a semi-tropical climate might be one of their biggest draws – their location in the Atlantic, just 90 miles or so from off the coast of north Africa, means the archipelago basks in almost year-round sun, with temperatures rarely dipping below 18 in winter.
Beyond the sunshine, each island in this archipelago of seven has its own unique draw. The diversity of these islands is really remarkable – from black sand beaches and moon-like volcanic landscapes to wide golden strands and lush, dense green forest, the Canary Islands have something to offer any kind of holidaymaker.
If all you want to do is book your flights to the Canary Islands, stretch out on a lounger and bask in the sun, sipping on cocktails and slapping on sunscreen, then you have your pick of resorts to choose from on any of the four main tourist islands – Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Each one has famously beautiful beaches and superb resorts in which you can lounge to your lazy little heart’s content.
For active holidaymakers, well, each of the Canary Islands has plenty of activities for you to choose from, so it really just depends what you want to do. Fuerteventura is well known as the surfing island, and there are plenty of great schools offering lessons, surf camps, or even just board rental for anyone who wants to hit the waves. For cyclists and athletes, Lanzarote is the dream destination with a burgeoning cycling scene and Lycra-clad athletes everywhere – it even hosts its own iron man competition. Hikers will absolutely love the walking trains in Gran Canaria, and Tenerife is a superb place to go kayaking and snorkelling.
If you’re booking flights to the Canaries because you want to party, you won’t find it difficult to locate the fun, no matter which of the islands you fly to. Fueteventura is probably the most quiet of the islands but even that has a cool after-surf party scene in Corralejo. For wilder nights, try Gran Canaria’s famous Playa del Inglés, Playa de las Américas in Tenerife, or Lanzarote’s Puerto del Carmen.
Getting Around:
Lots of people like to combine their cheap flights to the Canaries with some low cost car hire, as driving offers holidaymakers the freedom to explore an island at their own pace. Each of the islands has its own intercity bus service, and if you’re just trying to get from the airport to your resort this may work well for you – just make sure you check your timetables and plan your route before you go. If you want to do a little island-hopping while you’re there you can take ferries between the islands, though prices and timetables vary depending on the season.
Cuisine:
The Canary Islands have a cuisine that’s an interesting mixture of some native Guanche cuisine with plenty of Spanish, African, and Latin American flavours, and there are a few local treats that visitors should definitely try. Most famously, the islands love their mojo sauces – red and green – which are the perfect accompaniment to the islands’ famously fresh seafood and ‘wrinkled potatoes’ (papas arrugadas).
Available Ryanair flights to The Canaries:
We fly to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and both the South and North airports in Tenerife.
When to book cheap flights to the Canaries:
The canaries are a year-round destination with mild, dry winters giving way to beautiful sunny summers. Cheap flights to the Canary Islands are easiest to find in the winter months and off-season, and are generally at their most expensive during the summer months when schools are on holiday.
The Canaries Must-Sees
Each island has its own major attractions, whether that’s stunning beaches and landscapes or fascinating culture, art and architecture. On Tenerife, Mount Teide and its observatory are hugely popular with visitors, as is the Museum of Nature and Man and Siam water park. If you go to Lanzarote you should visit some of the famous sites built by César Manrique, and don’t miss the fascinating and beautiful Timanfaya National Park. Gran Canaria is renowned for some truly beautiful natural scenery that you’d be crazy not to visit, as is Fuerteventura.
Airport Amenities
Ryanair provides flights from the following airports, Fuerteventura Airport (FUE), Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), Lanzarote Airport (ACE), Tenerife-North Airport (TFN) and Tenerife-South Airport (TFS).
Canary Islands Airports:
we fly to a paradise vacation on a budget
Probably everyone dreams of relaxing in the Canary Islands. But for several reasons (one of which is not the best financial situation), most Ukrainians do not even think about relaxing in this heavenly place. We will try to dispel all the myths by showing an example of how is the cheapest way to fly to the Canary Islands.
Due to the fact that the cost of air tickets directly depends on the period of travel and when they are booked, the price of air tickets a month before departure for 7 days is considered below.
Air tickets for connecting flights from Kyiv to the Canary Islands
To find out how much you can save, consider the prices of air tickets for flights of several airlines. The most popular island is Tenerife, which has two airports and hundreds of flights daily from different parts of the world. The cheapest air ticket from Ukraine costs from $490 (KLM airline).
All flights are connecting and in most cases tourists will fly with two transfers via Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris or Barcelona. A Hahn Air flight ticket can be booked for a minimum of $656. In this case, Prague also joins the above connecting airports (which is the only connection point, that is, the passenger will fly along the Kyiv-Prague-Tenerife route).
Another popular tourist airport is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Airport, the international hub of Gran Canaria. The cheapest airline ticket to Las Palmas is also offered by KLM, which can be booked for at least $459. Such a flight is carried out with two connections through the points already listed. Austrian Airlines offers flights with one change in Vienna. The cost of such a flight is from 619 dollars.
You can book a flight to the Spanish island of Fuentevertura for a British Airways flight for at least $732 (changes in Madrid and London). UIA airline offers flights to Fuentevertura at a price of 856 dollars.
You can fly to Lanzarote for at least $564 (Hahn Air). Air tickets of the Czech carrier Czech Airlines will cost travelers a minimum of 580 dollars.
Many people know that cheap flights can be bought on low-cost airlines , but not many people know how much European low-cost airlines will save when flying to the Canary Islands.
For example, from Kyiv you can fly cheaply to one of the European countries using the Wizz Air low-cost airline. For example, a round-trip air ticket from Kyiv to Memmingen will cost 66 USD, a ticket to Cologne – 78 USD, and to Budapest – 42 USD.
Next, we book a low-cost airline ticket from a European city to the Canary Islands. The Irish airline Ryanair is considered the largest low-cost carrier in Europe. It has the most extensive route network, so it will be the easiest way to get to one of the islands of the Canary archipelago with its help.
So, from the cities of Germany you can fly to any of the airports in Tenerife and Las Palmas (Gran Canaria). For example, book a round trip ticket from Memmingen to Tenerife for only $142, from Cologne such a ticket will cost $155. But the cheapest round trip ticket from Cologne-Bonn Airport to Gran Canaria can be booked for less than $121.
The round-trip airfare from Budapest to Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) is about $185.
London Luton Airport is also open to Ryanair aircraft. From London you can fly to almost any island of the Canaries. For example, the cost of a round-trip air ticket to Fuentevertura is about $246. For an air ticket to Lanzarote, you will need to pay about $199, to Gran Canaria and Tenerife, $250 and $280, respectively.
Thus, having independently compiled a budget route (Wizz Air + Ryanair), you can save up to 50% of the cost of air tickets from Kyiv to one of the Canary Islands:

Jet Sharing to the Canary Islands
We organize private flights on business jets to the Canary Islands, using the Jet Sharing system. Customers have the opportunity to rent chairs or a sofa, if it is provided by the aircraft model. Flights are made 3-4 times a month – the actual dates can be clarified with our air consultants. We always try to be flexible and go to meet customers, so flights are formed taking into account the wishes of customers. In most cases, flights are carried out on Bombardier Challenger 850, Hawker 800XP or Embraer Legacy 600 business jets. Exact information on the aircraft model will be known when choosing a specific date.
The cost of Jet Sharing to the Canary Islands starts from 12,500 euros, one way. The exact amount depends on the aircraft model and the number of passengers. You can check it by phone +7 (495) 127-7-495 or via e-mail [email protected]
By purchasing the Jet Sharing service, you get a full range of business aviation services and a guaranteed high level of service. Departures to Spain from Moscow at 90% of cases are made from the VIP terminal of Vnukovo 3 airport. In the Canary Islands, a business jet also arrives at a separate VIP terminal. Clients have access to quick check-in for a flight (30 minutes before departure), comfortable customs and passport control, the ability to transport animals in the cabin (upon agreement with other flight participants), flexible baggage allowance, the ability to use the Internet for full-fledged work during the flight . Before and after the flight, a personal manager will be in touch with you – who will answer all questions and promptly resolve emerging situations.
How to book a seat
Clients of our company can book a seat in a business jet directly on the site. Just fill out the online form below or contact the operator by phone 8 (495) 127-7-495. Based on your route, dates and wishes for the aircraft, we will select the best option for you. Either an already planned flight or we will offer to leave a request to search for fellow travelers for your dates.

And at the end of each flight, the business jet is fully processed and disinfected. Also, an important point is a small passenger flow in VIP terminals – as a rule, flights are separated from each other, so contacts with other passengers are minimized. Also, we are always open to dialogue and, if necessary, we will organize individual protection measures for you (for example, a personal transfer to the aircraft).

How much to fly to the Canary Islands from Moscow.
The Canary Islands attract tourists all year round. Great opportunities for recreation, a diverse natural landscape and a mild climate will appeal to many. The duration of the flight is an important factor that plays a role in choosing a direction. Let’s find out how much to fly to the Canary Islands from Moscow.
If you buy a ticket from the operator, you will go to the Canary Islands on a direct charter flight. Charter flights are booked by travel agencies with airlines. Such flights are not specified in the schedule of carriers, and the time of departure and flight conditions (for example, type of meals) depend on the requirements of the customer. When buying a tour package, you get a ready-made set of services. In this case, you lose the opportunity to choose an airline, or save money by buying a ticket for a flight with transfers. Travel time by direct charter flight from Moscow to the Canary Islands will be just over seven hours.
Features of a flight with transfers
If you plan to buy tickets on your own, without using the services of travel agencies, please note that there are several international airports in the Canary Islands. Depending on the destination, the itinerary may be different.
The best way to select a ticket is through search engines (skyscanner, momondo, etc.), they give answers for many airlines. There is no need to study the websites of each carrier separately.
Transfer routes have a feature. You can buy a single ticket for several connecting flights. And you can buy several tickets and connect flights yourself. In the first case, you check in and check in your luggage once at the point of departure (in Moscow). You receive luggage when you arrive in the Canary Islands, regardless of whether you had transfers or not. This is due to the fact that the carriers are among themselves in associations. Airlines are connecting flights and moving luggage without your participation. If the first flight is delayed, carriers are responsible for your flight. If you miss your connecting flight due to the fault of the airline, you will be transferred on the next closest flight. In this case, it is good if the transplants are short-lived. Since all you need to do is go from one terminal to another to board the next flight.
In the second case, if there are several tickets in one direction, you yourself select the flights that need to be connected. For example, you have one Moscow-Madrid ticket and a second Madrid-Tenerife ticket. In this case, the carriers do not connect your flights with each other, and the entire responsibility for the flight lies with you. Upon arrival in Madrid, you will need to go through all the procedures and collect your luggage. Then, check in again for the next flight to Tenerife and check in your luggage. You need to select tickets in such a way as to have the necessary margin of time. It is worth considering that the first flight may be delayed or even canceled, or there will be problems with baggage claim. If there is little time for a transfer, you may not catch the next flight.

How long is the flight to Tenerife from Moscow and St. Petersburg? Time in Tenerife
Air travel is practically the only way to get to the island of Tenerife (a Spanish island located in the Canary archipelago) both from Moscow and St. Petersburg
There are several flight options : direct charter flights, connecting flights with 1 or 2 transfers in any European city. Regular direct flights between Russian cities and Tenerife have not yet been launched. And charter direct messages are extremely rare, they are all tied to certain days of the week, which makes it extremely difficult to plan a trip.
Specific air travel times may vary depending on a combination of various factors (final destination, specific airline, type of flight chosen).
Travel time to Tenerife
As mentioned above, the flight time can vary significantly between different carrier companies.
The fastest direct flight St. Petersburg-Tenerife is 7 hours. You will spend about the same amount flying to the island directly from Moscow.
If you are flying with a transfer, then the total flight time will largely depend on the waiting time for the next flight at the connecting airport.
For example, a Moscow-Madrid flight takes an average of 5 hours. From Madrid to Tenerife is about 3 more hours.
You will spend a total of 8 hours in the sky. But waiting at the airport can be from one to 20 hours.
Thus, using a flight with intermediate transfers, at best you will fly in 9 hours, at worst, you will have to spend a whole day to get to the final point of your stay.
Don’t be afraid to buy tickets with very short connecting times. If the first flight is delayed for any reason and does not arrive at the airport on time, the next passenger transportation is the responsibility of the airline.
For tourists, Madrid’s metro map – and you won’t get lost!
And here is an overview of the sights of the island of Tenerife.
Are you going to Mallorca? In our article, we compare weather conditions at different times of the year.
Tenerife time
Do not forget that Tenerife has a different time zone. The difference with the time of St. Petersburg and Moscow is -4 hours.
The distance between Tenerife and Saint Petersburg is 4966 kilometres. The route Moscow – Tenerife is somewhat longer and is 5500 kilometers.
Cost and search for air tickets
Flights with transfers are much cheaper than direct charter flights, however, the flight time increases significantly. In addition, the faster the connection, the more expensive the cost of air tickets.
Seasonality also affects the price, Tenerife has high and low seasons.
Trains to the resort, for example, in August, during the peak of the high season, will cost you much more than in another month.
The price of air tickets for a direct flight in the low season starts from 400 euros . A non-stop flight in the high season will cost you an average of 1000 euros per person .
Where is the best place to look for flights to Tenerife, if you do not buy a ready-made tour from a travel agency? The fact is that places on direct flights are almost completely redeemed by tour operators, so if you are interested in a non-stop flight, you need to contact tour operators.
If the availability of transfers is not critical for you, then when searching for tickets, pay attention to the website of our partner, who will select the flight for you at the cheapest prices in RuNet.

What kind of breakfast and dinner can you expect during this flight and what unusual places can you see from the window? Also from the video you can find out not only the flight time, but also what awaits you at the airport upon arrival, the most beautiful places at the airport.
Tenerife airports
If you plan your trip on your own, you should definitely take care of the airport-hotel transfer. Keep in mind that there are two airports in Tenerife. One is located in the north of the island – TFN Tenerife Norte (Tenerife Norte) (another name is TFN Los Rodeos, Los Rodeos), the other in the south – TFS Tenerife Sur (Tenerife Sur) (until recently, the airport had a different name – Reina Sofia, Rein Sofia) . Most often international flights, in particular aircraft from Russia, arriving at Tenerife Norte .
I would like to pay special attention to the passage of passport control in Spain. The fact is that, according to the law of this country, every incoming traveler is required to provide with financial proof of his trip .
If the employees of the Spanish airport apply to you with such a request, you will need to prove your financial solvency based on the following calculations:
7 days of stay in Spain should account for about 580 euros, a 10-day trip is confirmed by the amount of 645 euro per person.
In addition, you will need to fill out registration card , the spine of which will need to be handed over to the Spanish border officer. Keep the lower part of the map with you and keep it until the end of your trip.
Remember that the document must be filled out in Latin letters.
By the way, experienced travelers who plan to return to Tenerife next time take registration cards in reserve at the airport. And the next time you fly to the resort, they fill out the card calmly and in advance so as not to waste your time and nerves on this procedure at the airport.
If you bought a ready-made tour, then all the formal issues regarding the registration of the arrival of the tourist group are decided by a special employee of the company from the host side.
And one more nuance: the Spanish authorities oblige you to fill out a customs declaration if you decide to bring cash with you into the country for an amount exceeding 10 thousand euros.

Zika Travel Recommendations by Traveler Type and Country Category
Know before you go! Zika continues to be a problem in many parts of the world. There is no vaccine to prevent infection. Zika is spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus). Zika can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects.
Your decision to delay or cancel travel is personal and complex. In making this decision, consider your travel destination and your ability to protect yourself from mosquito bites. CDC recommends that pregnant women and couples planning a pregnancy within the next 3 months consult with a health care provider in making this decision.

Ocean Islands: The Canary Islands – Andrea Felice: Igneous World Tour
Here I will discuss Ocean Islands Systems. However, I will be analyzing the volcanic system called the Canary Islands.
The Canary Islands are located on the African Plate just off of the coast of Morocco. These Islands formed on the oceanic part of the African plate in the Atlantic Ocean. The motion of the plate is eastward and then to the north. This is seen by the trail of sea mounts. Volcanism in this area is most likely due to the Increased heat at this one point on the African Plate.
There are five islands above the surface. They are : Isla de Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas de Grand Canary, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote. The only recently active volcano is located on Isla de Palma. The islands that are found in these locations are Strato volcanoes. The motion of the plate is eastward and then to the north. This is seen by the trail of sea mounts.
This image illustrates the whole of the Canary Island chain. I have important features noted on the map itself. The plate motion is eastward and northward. This is indicated by the seamounts trailing off to the north.
One notable Volano in the canary islands is La Palma. This volcano has been relatively quiet in recent history as the last volcanic eruption was from October 26 to November 18th in 1071. According to the Global Volcanism Program there have been 13 recorded eruptions in the Holocene. However, none of these eruptions are considered to be historic.
An interesting volcanic landform is the Cumbre Vieja. It is the most active area of the island and had the eruption in 1971. It contains many active and inactive craters and fissures. It is wildly unstable as seen in the image below part of the ridge collapsed.
This is an image of the Cumbre Vieja. The valley to the right of the image is where part of the ridge collapsed. This imaage is from the Volcano Program’s website.Here is a Google Earth image of the Santa Cruz de la Palma. As you can see, La Palma volcano makes up the majority of the northern part of the island.
Here I am going to discuss the specific geochemistry of the Canary Islands.
Harker Diagrams
This plot indicates the amount of magnesium in the magma. It highlights its compatibility as you can see the decrease in the amount of magnesium in the magma as the amount of silica increases. This is due to the size of the magnesium cation and its high charge.
This plot indicates the compatibility of iron as the magma evolves.
This indicates the compatibility of the calcium due to its small size and charge. It acts similarly to that of Iron.
The magnesium number represents the decrease of magnesium in regards to the decrease of iron. It highlight the decrease of both of these elements and how little there was to begin with.
This indicates the incompatibility of the alkalies the alkalies. As more magma begins to crystalize. The higher presence of these larger elements highlights their incompatibility.
REE/Chondrite
This REE/Chondrite illustrates the highlights the trend of these minerals at an Ocean Island. In oceanic basalt, there tends to be a higher amount of the Light Rare Earth Elements (LREES) in comparison to the Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREES). The LREEs are more common in source rock that has not been as depleted. As the source rock is heated, the LREEs leave the source rock because they are less comparable than the HREEs. This accounts for the spike in LEEs and the low amount of HREEs in the REE diagram. I chose data from the 5th, 25th and 50th percentiles to illustrate this curve.
TSA Plot
This image illustrates the types of rocks that can be achieved by solidifying the magma present at the Canary Islands. There is a broader range of possibilities due to the type of magma generated. However, this could be indicative of the volcanic system bringing to move on to form a new island as it looks as if there is an increase in the amount of rhyolitic magma.
AFM Plot
This image represents the variation of the volcanics at the ocean island system. There is a large variation in this magma. It ranges from tholeiitic and calc-alkaline. This illustrates the life cycle of the volcanoes in this region. There is a trend towards the calc-alkaline variety as the volcano goes though its life cycle. Calc- Alkaline magma is higher in Sodium and Potassium.
The magma at the Canary Islands appears to range from calc-alkaline and tholeiitic. This illustrates the life cycle of the volcanic island and could indicate that the hot spot is moving and a new volcanic island might be forming,

‘No one can stop them’: African migrants aim for Spain’s Canary Islands

GRAN CANARIA, Aug 11 (Reuters) – Standing in a cemetery of abandoned boats, Mohamed Fane picks a West African franc off the floor and shudders at the traumatic memory of his voyage from Senegal to the Canary Islands.
After an arduous overland trip and months waiting, smugglers shepherded the 33-year-old carpenter into a flimsy wooden vessel with two dozen others to sail from the Moroccan town of Dakhla – but it ran out of fuel far from the Spanish archipelago.
One famished and thirsty man died on board, while a Spanish rescue boat saved the rest. Fane, who barely ate in three days at sea and used his water bottle to bail out the leaking boat, wept like never before when he reached Gran Canaria.

“It is the hardest thing that ever happened to me, I would never repeat it,” he said.
Such horrendous experiences are commonplace on one of the busiest and most perilous routes into Europe for Africans fleeing poverty, conflict and hunger accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the knock-on effect of the Ukraine war.
Two thirds of African migrants entering Spain now go via the Canaries, according to government data. Some 9,589 have made it there so far in 2022 – a 27% rise on the same period last year.
On a map, the seven islands are just pinpricks in the vast Atlantic off West Africa. Fishermen guide the precarious boats with often inadequate motors. Many get lost or sink.
At least 1,000 people have died in those waters so far this year, according to the Walking Borders charity, with the tens of thousands of European tourists flocking to the Canaries largely unaware of the tragedies unfolding so near their holidays.
“There is panic among people in Africa after the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the inflation, because they are very dependent on food from outside,” said Sukeina Ndiaye, a leader of a migrant support network on Tenerife island.
“I fear many more are going to take the risk.”
Another who did just that is fisherman Elhadji Diouf: he took a boat with 67 others from south Senegal that wound up on a Tenerife beach six days later. He said he was honouring his father’s wish for the family to escape poverty caused by their ever-scarcer catch due to industrial-scale fishing.
Sometimes, he said, migrants lose their mind after exhausting journeys from inland Africa then blazing hot days on the open sea. “Some people can’t stand it and jump into the sea. The boat cannot turn, or stop, to avoid capsizing, so it is impossible to rescue them.”
Dehydration, sea sickness and hypothermia are common.
Yet with the short route across the Strait of Gibraltar and other ways into southern Europe across the Mediterranean better policed, the Canary Islands are an increasingly popular choice for desperate migrants despite the dangers.
Morocco has stemmed its flow in a deal with Spain, but many still come from Mali, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Nigeria, activists say.
In a report this week on the burgeoning Canary Islands migration route, the United Nations said 150 boat drivers were arrested last year but the crime gangs behind them on the African coast were rarely targeted.
Many deaths go unnoticed, it added, noting how boats often take circuitous route to avoid search-and-rescue zones and mobile phone networks, but can then get caught in strong currents taking them out towards the Caribbean.
Numbers may pick up with calmer waters from September.
“Noone can stop them,” mused Fane on Gran Canaria island where colourful, abandoned migrant boats contain tatty shoes, sardine tins, plastic bottles and a life vest.
“I lose hope in my continent, Africa. What is happening forces you to go (…) I heard some people say that arriving here nearly dead is better than staying in Africa.”
On the same day, Spanish rescue services were hunting a boat lost at sea off Mauritania with 100 people reported on board. Days later, another boat was rescued with 61 people near the island: a 19-year-old boy was found dead on board.

Where are the Canary Islands on the world map (season 2022)
Although not everyone knows where the Canary Islands are, everyone knows about this wonderful place, which for many has become synonymous with luxury holidays. Many even consider them to be part of ancient Atlantis, which sank thousands of years ago.
Contents:
Show on the map where the Canary Islands are, and even not everyone who has visited them can quickly find them. But, despite this, everyone has heard about them and dream of getting there. In recent years, the popularity of holidays in the Canary Islands is only growing. At the same time, millions of people can rest on the islands. The number of tourists every year exceeds the number of residents several times!
Climatic conditions
The Canary Islands consist of seven large islands and six small ones, each of which is considered a continent in miniature. The climate of each island is unique, but they are united by the fact that all year round you can sunbathe under the warm sun and swim in the ocean . Therefore, the islands are recommended for those whose vacation falls precisely in the winter months: here you can relax “in summer”.
back to contents ↑
Origin of name
Many mistakenly believe that the islands are named after canaries. However, studies show that it was quite the opposite – it was the birds that were named after the islands. The name Canary comes from the Latin word for “dogs”. That is, the islands can be called Dog Islands. Even on the coat of arms of the Canary Islands there is an image of two dogs. According to the second version, the name comes from sea lions, which were previously called “sea dogs”. A connection is also possible with Ancient Egypt, where one of the gods had the head of a dog (Anubis). The local population considered dogs sacred animals.
For those who do not know where the Canary Islands are located on the map, it will be useful to know about their location. Although the Canaries themselves are considered the territory of Spain, there are at least a thousand kilometers to the coast of Spain. Much closer to the African continent. Therefore, before deciding to visit Tunisia or Egypt, you should think about a vacation not in the Canary Islands.
The mistake of many is that they still believe that holidays in the Canary Islands are available only to people with very high earnings or those who save for such a vacation for several years. But you can relax, and not spending much. Firstly, you can stay in a hotel with a lower number of stars, and secondly, you can always bargain in such hotels.
Despite the number of stars, each hotel offers a high level of service. In general, going to the Canary Islands, you can be sure that you will definitely find a hotel that can afford it. For example, in a hotel with an average price policy, rest will cost about 50-100 euros per day. It is important to note that this cost may even include car rental. But you can easily find a hotel for 40 euros per day, although you will have to eat in inexpensive establishments, and you will have to stay in the same inexpensive hotel. Meanwhile, if we analyze the costs of the Canary Islands, it turns out that a similar vacation in neighboring Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt will not become much cheaper. Of course, at low cost, you will have to move around the island (or between the islands) by public transport.

Transport in the Canary Islands
You can also travel on foot within the same island. Hikers will especially like it. Bus routes also run between cities within the same island, the cost of which is affordable for everyone.
However, we should not forget that the Canary Islands are an archipelago of several islands, and without visiting at least a few of them, one cannot consider a vacation complete. Of course, some tourists may not leave the hotel, but most vacationers visit neighboring islands.
If you rent a car, you can use it not only to move around one island, but also to get acquainted with the sights of neighboring islands by taking a ferry across. Of course, you will have to pay for the crossing, but it’s worth it. For renting a car for a week, you will have to pay about twenty euros. Of course, it all depends on the class of car.
Many vacationers buy tickets for hydrofoils, which allow them to travel between islands much faster and enjoy the beauty of each island from a distance. Often, tourists want to quickly move from one extreme island of the archipelago to another, which is about a thousand kilometers. There are many flights for this.
Every city has its own taxi service. For a kilometer of movement around the city you will have to pay about 1 euro. When leaving the city, you will have to pay 1.5-2 euros already. The fare also increases when traveling at night.

Attractions and entertainment in the Canary Islands
Tourists from Russia Tenerife is the most popular of the islands. It is at the airport of this island that a direct flight from Moscow lands, so when going to Tenerife, you need to be prepared to hear your native language on the beach, in a restaurant or hotel. It is precisely because Russian tourists do not always like to travel between the islands that they stop here.
Throughout February, Tenerife hosts a grandiose festival that can easily compete with the world-famous festival in Rio de Janeiro.
The second most popular island among tourists from Russia is Gran Canaria. There is everything that interests a vacationer:
This is the largest island in terms of population, and a large number of tourists is due to the unique climatic conditions, which are considered the best among all the islands. The climatic situation on the island contributes to beach holidays throughout the year.
Those who want to relax alone with nature are simply obliged to go to the island of Gomera. The absence of industrial enterprises has a beneficial effect on the nature of the island of Hierro. Night walks under the moon along the promenade on the island of Lanzarote are fascinating. Fuertenventura is a favorite island for those who like to sunbathe on the beach or go surfing. It is here that international competitions in surfing, windsurfing, kiting and other sea sports are held in the middle of summer. In general, each of the islands is able to provide its guests with the richest program with the widest choice of entertainment.

Cuisine
Although not everyone knows where the Canary Islands are located on the world map, many have heard about the unsurpassed cuisine of the islands from their friends who have been here. For example, in Tenerife, you can taste the Canarian jacket potato. At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing special about this dish, but the added sauces fill it with an unusual taste. The potato itself is grown in the highlands and grows at an altitude of at least 900 meters! Do not forget about fish dishes, seafood. Many restaurants have large aquariums in which every tourist can choose a “victim” for cooking.
back to contents ↑
Holidays with children
Many vacationers come to the Canary Islands with children. To choose a place of rest, you need to worry about the absence of noisy discos, cafes, markets near the hotel. The best option for families with children is the island of Fuerteventura, where there are no noisy establishments.
Canaries and security
Of course, any inattentive tourist can suffer from petty scammers. Basically, these are illegal migrants who arrived here from the neighboring African continent. To avoid theft, you should not carry cash with you, but pay with electronic cards or traveller’s checks. Some tourists even recommend keeping their savings on several plastic cards. But to pay for goods in the markets or to pay a taxi driver, you should still have some cash with you. In general, petty theft and hooliganism are quite rare.
back to contents ↑
Gifts and souvenirs
It is rare that a tourist goes to the Canary Islands to buy various goods. In any city, there are dozens of shops where you can buy everything you need, but the bulk of vacationers come here just for a beach holiday.
Of course, you should think about buying gifts for yourself and your loved ones. These can be small souvenirs, reminiscent of visiting the Canary Islands. The main thing is not to rush to buy them on the very first day of the stores closest to the hotel, since on the island you can find similar things at a price that will be much lower.
The Canary Islands are an ideal destination for tourists of all ages. Anyone who can afford a vacation in Egypt, Tunisia or Turkey can just as well go to the Canary Islands. Only a holiday in the Canary Islands will be much more interesting than a trip to the “bored” resorts.

Tenerife – Canary Islands on the world map – a paradise or an unattractive place?
In the Atlantic Ocean there is an archipelago of volcanic origin called the Canary Islands, which belongs to the Kingdom of Spain and consists of seven large inhabited islands and many small ones. Where is Tenerife located on the world map?
Tenerife is the largest and most populous island in the Canary Islands in the heart of the Canary Islands. Tenerife on the world map can be recognized by the unusual shape of the contour, resembling a ham. The area of the island is about 2000 km2, the population is 900 thousand people. The capital of the island is the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Map of Tenerife.
Interesting to know! Tenerife is called a miniature continent, since it has more than one climatic zone, hence the incredible differences in climate, flora and fauna, and relief. The island is divided in the middle by a mountain range that divides it into northern and southern parts.
North Tenerife is colder, strong winds blow here and the air temperature is always lower than in the south. However, this is just a paradise for vegetation – the flora here is diverse and unique. This part of the island is provided more for tourist routes, sightseeing and excursions. There are many ancient towns with amazing colorful streets and a huge number of attractions – both natural and man-made.
Tenerife North.
The southern part is characterized by warm and dry weather, wonderful well-equipped beaches with black volcanic sand washed by the Atlantic, and well-developed infrastructure.
Which part of Tenerife to choose for recreation – South or North
One of the largest and most famous resorts in the south of Tenerife is Las Americas. It was created specifically for tourists and is considered one of the largest and most popular resorts. There are well-equipped beaches, a pedestrian promenade with many clubs, discos and restaurants. Having bought a tour and arrived here, tourists will surely hear not only Spanish, but also Russian, since many Russians rest here.
Near Las Americas there is another resort – Los Cristianos – the old town. Here it will be pleasant to walk along the picturesque Spanish narrow streets with pastry and fruit shops, drink coffee in an open cafe and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. However, this place is best considered for walking, it is not worth staying here for a large number of days, since only one hotel has been built here, and the beaches are located near the port and far enough away to swim there every day.
A little north of Las Americas and Los Cristianos Tenerife is the town of Arona, it is a little less popular, but, nevertheless, has a well-developed infrastructure and beaches with all amenities. The most popular resorts of Arona are Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas. They are known for their scuba diving and water sports.
Please note! Here is a natural park with many exotic plants and a huge collection of tropical palm trees.
Next to Arona in Tenerife is the picturesque site of San Miguel de Abona, which has been granted the status of cultural heritage. There are various attractions here – the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, the El Capitan Museum, the house in which Juan Betancourt was born.
If you wish, you can visit the San Blas Ecological Reserve, which has great natural value, and the Yellow Mountain natural monument, which are very popular among tourists. This resort will not leave golf lovers indifferent, as there are two wonderful courses here – Golf de Sur and Amarilla Golf. Just like in Arona, this resort offers water and underwater sports in the sports port of La Marina San Miguel.
Moving strictly north from this resort, you can get to the highest village in Tenerife – Vilaflor. There is no access to the sea, but despite this, a huge number of tourists arrive here every day. Since this place has the purest mountain air and the appropriate climate, most tourists come here for health improvement, especially many visitors visit this place with a disease of the respiratory system. Vilaflora also has healing springs with mineral water.
This place is also interesting due to its natural and cultural heritage. There are many tourist routes here.
The routes created for visitors follow the paths that were previously used by the Guanche tribes – the inhabitants of the island – to drive their cattle through a narrow, steep valley to pasture.
On the territory of Vilaflor there are several natural reserves, rich in historical heritage.
If you want to combine business with pleasure and go shopping in the Canary Islands, you should visit the town of San Isidro, located on the west coast. Here is the largest number of shops on the island.
A small resort in the south of Tenerife, Playa Paraiso, which means “Paradise Beach” in Russian, will allow you to enjoy solitude. There are only four high-rise hotels in the center on the coast, a couple of shops and several night discos. However, if you can enjoy the silence here, then the oceans are unlikely, despite the name of the resort, since the coast here is rocky and entry into the ocean is not very convenient.
In the southeastern part of the island is the fishing town of Las Galletas with a black beach of volcanic sand, it is remote from the main tourist areas – this is a place for a more relaxing holiday. Heading to the north of Tenerife, you first find yourself in Candelaria – a city of pilgrims, where the main attraction is the Candelaria Basilica – a Catholic church, and then in the very capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Port in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Traveling around the island, one cannot fail to look into the medieval village of Santiago del Teide, founded in the 16th century, which is interesting for its history and traditions. The baroque church of San Fernando, which was built in the 17th century, is a must-see. The church attracts tourists with its mysterious architecture and beautiful paintings inside.
This place is also famous for the fact that it is from here that the narrow-gauge serpentine begins to the village of Masca, which is located in the upper part of the famous Masca Gorge in Tenerife at an altitude of about 600 meters. It is one of the deepest in Tenerife, and the route visited daily by tourists from different countries from the top to the ocean is approximately 9kilometers – this is a whole trail of obstacles, here you have to jump over rivers and climb stones. Therefore, the day before, have a good rest, and before the gorge, take courage and patience.
If you want to enjoy a relaxing holiday and improve your body, then you should visit the city of Bahamar. Bajamar is a small fishing village located in the northern part of Tenerife. This is a coastal secluded place with mountainous areas, with unique natural pools and picturesque massifs of the Anaga Park.

Where are the Canary Islands located on the world map: which island to choose and why?!
When we talk about the Canary Islands, first of all we are talking about the island of Tenerife, although in fact it is a beautiful, but not at all the best island of the archipelago. There are thirteen Canary Islands, of which seven are large and six are small. Rumor has it that there is another island …. We will also talk about this in our article. In addition, myths and realities about the Canaries await you, revealing the secrets of the climate and showing significant differences not only between the islands of the archipelago, but within them. To begin with, let’s list the islands, as they are closely interconnected, and then we’ll talk about the classification from different angles, which will help you decide on the choice of a vacation spot exactly to your taste and wishes.
Inhabited Canary Islands:
There are eight inhabited islands, of which seven are large and one small (La Graciosa)
9009 Fuerteventura is located in the east of the archipelago, is the second largest and the first most popular among surfers
Uninhabited islands of the Canary archipelago:
These small but proud islands can be admired from the observation decks of the larger Canary neighbors and through the window of an airplane, making a flight between the islands of the archipelago.

Why Canar Islands are so popular for recreation in the winter?
There are many reasons, for example:
Borondon Island:
Since we have sorted the islands into inhabited and not inhabited, we should divide them into real and fictional, more precisely not fictional, but not proven to exist. In fact, there is only one such unconfirmed and uncharted island in the Canary archipelago – San Borondon.
Lost or not found island is a pride of the Canarians and a mystery for the guests of the archipelago. History has a lot of evidence that different people at different times confidently told that they not only saw San Borondon from the shores of La Palma and El Hierro, but also landed on its shores during the shipwreck. From time to time, strange plants and even fruits of fruit trees that do not grow in the Canaries archipelago are brought to the shores of the western islands, which in itself is an indirect confirmation of the existence of this place. This unique island is located in the west of the archipelago, southwest of the island of La Palma and north of El Hierro. It appears suddenly in both cloudy and clear weather, and disappears in fog or behind a rain stream.
According to eyewitnesses, the outlines of the island are unchanged, which made it possible to make a description of the “mirage”: an oblong shape, the island is elongated from north to south, the relief is a plain between two mountains of different heights.
The island got its name from the monk Brendan, who first spoke about the existence of the mysterious lost Holy Land.
It is believed that this is a floating island, formed as a result of the descent of a layer of volcanic rocks from one of the mountain peaks of the archipelago. The volcanic rock is porous, so it can freely float on the surface of the water, and in the event of a storm go under water, which confirms the fact of a sudden appearance and disappearance. This theory has its adherents and opponents, but be that as it may, it will not be possible to go to the island yet.
On all the islands of the archipelago there will definitely be an institution called San Borondon, and more than one, because you want to believe in beautiful legends.
Islands of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife:
The province includes islands located in the west of the archipelago
Islands of the province of Las Palmas:
The province includes islands located in the east of the Archipelago
9000 9000 9000
Active volcanoes in the Atlantic Ocean:
I will not separate other volcanoes of the archipelago, although they deserve attention, nevertheless, the largest and highest crater is mentioned above, as well as the island with the largest number of craters and the consequences of the eruption.
Beaches of the Canary Islands
Fuerteventura confidently leads the ranking, as the number of beaches on this island exceeds 150 and stretches for more than 70 km. Most of the beaches boast white sand, but there is also black volcanic sand. In fact, this island is an exclusively beach holiday, as it has a minimum of infrastructure for other entertainment. Not many restaurants or shops and endless beaches with constant wind and waves. This is a favorite place for surfers. The name of the island speaks for itself: “fuerte” means “strong” and “el viento” means wind.
I consider it necessary to note the second unusually Maspalomas beach on the island of Gran Canaria :
The uniqueness lies in the fact that the coastline of the beach is sand dunes, with an area of about 400 hectares, which are a protected area on which it is forbidden to move on any means of transport. The peculiarity of Maspalomas beach is the ever-present wind that redistributes the sand along the coast. This is the southernmost point of the island, to which the sand was brought by the wind from the Sahara desert.
The sand is distributed in different ways and every day you can see a hill in a place where yesterday it was not even in sight. This place is unusual, but in my opinion, its choice depends on the season, since in winter, with a sufficiently low air and water temperature, the presence of wind makes a beach holiday here not comfortable, while Amadores beach , located in the southwest, is an ideal place . Amadores an enclosed artificial bay of white sand, protected by mountains from the wind and breakwaters from the waves, will offer a calm warm ocean at a comfortable temperature without wind. In my opinion, this is the perfect place for a beach holiday in the Canary Islands in winter.
Talking about Tenerife, one cannot fail to mention the beaches of the island, as our compatriots love and know this particular island and want to know more about it. It is believed that is the best beach on the island of El Duc , which is located in the resort of Adeje.
I have been, I have seen, there is something to compare with on the island and not only, therefore I will mark it as worthy, but I do not consider it the best. In my opinion, the highlight are Tenerife black sand beaches .
On the island of Lanzarote there are famous beaches Puntade Papagayo (Punta de Papagayo ). Separated by volcanic rocks, bays with yellow and white sand and turquoise water are the highlight of the island. There is a separate bay for nudists and 5 more beaches stretching for kilometers where you can enjoy the beauty of virgin nature.
There are other beaches of other Canary Islands, which are distinguished by the rare color of the water, the landscape, the legends created around them or other significant facts, but we will not be able to discuss everything within one article, so I suggest moving on to the next question.
Canary Islands ocean what and when:
Among the large islands, on two of the large islands, the temperature of the water in the ocean is much colder almost all year round than on the others. These are the two eastern islands of the archipelago: Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. This is due to the cold currents off the coast of these marvelous islands. Therefore, you should not assume that you can choose any island at any time of the year for a beach holiday, you may be disappointed. Of course, in summer, when the air temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the cool ocean invigorates and saves you from overheating, but in windy and cool winters, most of the beaches are empty. Unless surfers cut through the waves at any time of the year, and it is on these islands that they are the vast majority.
The cold waters of the ocean do not attract dangerous predators, so shark attacks do not happen here, just as there is not a wide variety of dangerous rays or sea urchins.
But just because the ocean temperature in Lanzarote is cold, it doesn’t mean that you can’t take a dip in the ocean. Residents of Lanzarote already in February go on a regular boat to the neighboring small island of La Graciosa and swim with great pleasure, as the water temperature is higher there.
On other islands of the archipelago, the water temperature in the ocean is higher, but also strongly depends on the season and the resort. For example, in Tenerife, in the northern part of the island, in the oldest resort of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the water temperature barely reaches 19 degrees in winter, and in the south of the island at the same time, many swim in the salty ocean at a temperature of about 23 degrees. The situation is similar in Gran Knaria, where in the north the ocean is cold, not criminal and cold,
and in the south in Puerto Rico and on Amadores beach, the water is full of people who want to swim at the same 23 degrees.
Which Canary Islands are the warmest:
The warmest eternal rivals, the provincial capital islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. But the concept of warm is very specific to the Canary Islands. Let me explain why with a specific example.
Mountain peaks correspond to areas of the island where it is colder and rainier, clouds cling to high mountains and settle there. This is more true for islands where the elevation changes are greater, for example, on the aforementioned Tenerife and Gran Canaria. On more gently sloping islands without high peaks, the temperature is more or less uniform.
A large friendly family that has long dreamed of visiting the Canary Islands took a long time to decide to do this and chose the sunny island of Gran Canaria for their two-week vacation. Well, it’s a great choice. But the rest was not entirely successful … And the thing is that the family, in order to save money, decided to rent a country house in a place called Moya in the northern part of the island in the mountains. It is a pity that they did not take into account the peculiarity of the island, due to the fact that in the mountainous regions the air temperature is much lower than on the coast and the possibility of precipitation is much higher here. And so it happened, instead of the temperature of 23 degrees promised in numerous stories about the resorts of the island, they had to be content with 12 degrees. As a result, the economy cost, as they say, sideways. I had to rent a large minivan for the whole family and make daily two-hour trips back and forth to Amadores beach, which is comfortable at this time of the year. In order not to spoil your vacation and not be disappointed, you should carefully consider not only the choice of the island, but also the choice of the resort on it!
The greenest island of the Canary archipelago
The greenest island with the most vegetation, La Palma, is the westernmost in terms of its geographical location.
The most deserted island of the archipelago is Lanzarote. Vegetation on it in the form of green bushy plantings appears after short rains and disappears after a week, leaving lava fields and lifeless plains.
The most popular island of the archipelago among the inhabitants of the Scandinavian countries is Gran Canaria. The tourist business of Gran Canaria, represented by guides and hotels, dreams of tourists from Russia, while the island of Tenerife, the most popular among Russians, dreams of tourists from Scandinavia and Europe. Therefore, if you want to be surrounded by compatriots and most services are provided, including in Russian, then you better go to Tenerife, and if communicating in English and German is not a problem for you, then why not go to Gran Canaria.
If you can’t decide which of the islands to choose, then don’t. I suggest that you do not stop at one, but if time permits, visit two islands during your vacation, or maybe choose new islands each time. I did just that and in the period from 12/30/2014 to 01/09/2015 I managed to visit Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. How to get between the islands is described in detail by me, and more than one article will be written about the extraordinary beauty of the islands.

Canary Islands on the world map, their features and differences
Canary Islands – one of the most famous resorts in the world, which is an archipelago of thirteen islands. They are located in the Atlantic Ocean. This place is famous for its volcanic beaches, breathtaking landscape and pleasant climate that allows you to swim in warm water all year round.
The Canary Islands are not so easy to find on the world map due to their small size and not obvious location. In their search, it can also be confusing that the Canaries are a province of Spain that once gained autonomy, but they are located not far from Africa. They are a thousand kilometers away from Spain, and only one hundred and fifteen from the African mainland.
Due to this location, the local atmosphere is far from European. The Canary Islands are more like Latin America than Europe. Juicy fruits, volcanoes, golden and black sand, tropical plants and warmth all year round attract tourists from all over the world.
Canary Islands on the map are not too crowded. If you look closely, you can see that only some of them are signed: Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife and La Palma. However, El Hierro and La Gomera are not deprived. They are the largest, most populated and visited. However, next to them you can find a few more patches of land, and these islands on the map are also Canary. They are called Roque del Oste and Roque del Este, Alegranza, Lobos, La Graciosa and Montaña Clara.
The capital of the Canarian Autonomy moves from city to city every four years. The first one is Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the second one is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

A bit of history
Most people may think that the name of the Canary Islands comes from the fact that canaries live here, but in reality the situation is the opposite: the birds were named after the islands. The Canaries got their name due to the fact that once upon a time there lived special dogs resembling mastiffs, and the name of this breed gave the name to the islands. These dogs are now emblazoned on the coat of arms of the islands.
The first settlers to these islands came from Africa about five thousand years ago. Europeans got here relatively recently – about two thousand years ago. At a time when it was believed that the Earth was flat, they seriously believed that the edge of the world is located precisely on the Canary Islands. At that time, the same dogs that gave the name to the Canaries lived here.
For some time the islands resisted the Spanish conquest, but by the end of the fifteenth century the entire archipelago fell into the hands of Spain, and already at the beginning of the sixteenth century slaves and cane plantations appeared here. Shortly after this, the islands are in crisis, people are served as pirates, and grapes are grown instead of reeds. Several times the islands became poorer, then richer, and Queen Isabella II made the Canaries a free trade zone. The islands served as the starting point for all sorts of unrest and rebellions, which stopped only after Spain gave the islands autonomy. In the middle of the last century, the first plane landed here, it was from that moment that the tourism business flourished on the islands, which got even stronger when the islands joined the European Union nine years after Spain.
Who lives in the Canaries?
Now the population of the Canary Islands looks like it consists entirely of Spaniards. However, as can be seen from the history of the islands, the Canary people are a mixture of many different nationalities and even races, because the Canaries were once a bridge between Africa, Europe and Latin America. And the people resulting from all historical events speak Spanish, the culture also develops mainly Spanish, but its representatives call themselves Canarians.
Oddly enough, there are even more Canarians in the Canaries than tourists. It turns out this is due to the fact that visitors most often go to large cities, while the outskirts remain with the indigenous population.
Climatic and natural conditions
The Canary Islands are located in the Tropic of Cancer, not far from them the Gulf Stream flows in the ocean, and hot winds often blow here from Africa, so the climate of the islands is consistently warm. There is no clear division into seasons, all year round the weather pleases with moderately high air temperatures, due to which the climate of the Canary Islands is considered one of the ideal on the entire planet. In winter, the average temperature here is kept at nineteen degrees, and in summer – twenty-six.
Despite the fact that the territory of the Canaries in the aggregate is not that big, the weather on one island at the same time can be very different from the weather on another. This is due to the mountainous landscape of several islands and their position relative to each other. The eastern islands are characterized by higher air temperature, drier here than in the western part of the archipelago, where it rains more often. The north side of the islands is somewhat cooler than the south. The southern shores are better warmed by the sun. It can be much colder at the top of the Canary Mountains than at the bottom, and this difference is very surprising to most tourists.
If you take a detailed map of the Canary Islands, you will notice that there are no rivers on the islands, however, you can find a huge number of plants here. This is due to frequent rains and, of course, ocean moisture, from which we can conclude that the sun is still often hidden by clouds, but warm rain pours from them. The only “setup” from the weather that can be expected here is the sirocco wind. It is very dry and suffocating, occasionally flies here from the deserts of Africa.
Each island boasts its own climatic features that distinguish it from others. For example, Fuerteventura is like a miniature Sahara – it’s a real desert. Its center is deserted and quiet, while on the banks, thanks to the abundance of sand, there are the best beaches of the entire archipelago. Lanzarote is a natural reserve of volcanoes, and La Palma is famous for its ancient forest.
Due to such a variety of weather conditions and the separation of the islands from the mainland, many rare representatives of the plant and animal kingdom have been preserved here. Scientists and conservationists have organized several reserves in the Canary Islands, they make up about a third of the total territory of the archipelago.
Where is the best place to stay?
Due to the variety of landscapes and climatic features, each island of the archipelago has its own set of resorts and entertainment for tourists.
Tenerife is the largest of all the Canary Islands. Here you can find interesting ways to spend time, both lovers of noisy parties and supporters of a quiet holiday. For those who prefer to drink and have fun, the cities of Los Cristianos and Las Americas are suitable. They do not stop discos, and Western Europeans are regulars for these cities.
The city of Puerto de la Cruz has the opposite tourist orientation, it is one of the most peaceful places on the island. The Canarian cliffs are presented here in all their glory, which is why, however, it will not be possible to swim among them, if only in the pools near the hotels.
The most versatile of all the islands of the Canarian resorts is Gran Canaria. For visitors, there are a lot of various shops and various establishments. There are many hotels and entertainment for lovers of a fun holiday. Athletes can visit windsurfing and fishing centers, and yacht lovers can easily find any boat here for rent or excursions. In addition, this island allows you to skydive or feel like a desert dweller on Dune Beach.
The best sands are found on the island of Fuerteventura, here are the largest beaches, where no one will be crowded, and the center of the island will help you relax in the silence of the sand dunes. Water sports centers thrive along the coasts.
Lanzarote will appeal to everyone who loves volcanoes and nature. There are no amenities of civilization here, but the landscape of this island in places is similar to the lunar surface. In addition, here you can meet tourists and scientists who care about the preservation of nature, for sure you can hear a lot of interesting things from them.
The other large islands of the Canary region are not so rich in hotels and entertainment centers, but their nature is an attraction in itself, where you can do agritourism and enjoy the beauty of landscapes.
The remaining small islands of the archipelago will please everyone with cliffs, mountain landscapes and small hidden beaches that will appeal to everyone who loves solitude.
Modes of transportation
You can get to the Canary archipelago by sea and air. People also come here by ship, but the most common transport is still air. You can also fly from one island to another by plane. Canarian airlines help you fly from the southern edge of the archipelago to the northern one in just a matter of minutes. Thanks to this, you can save a lot of time, which takes the crossing from island to island by means of boats or yachts. However, most people still prefer sea transport to travel around the islands of the Canary archipelago, because with the help of a sea vessel you can leisurely survey all the beauties of each island, listen to the fascinating stories of guides, enjoy the warm wind and salty water spray.
There are several modes of transport in the Canary Islands themselves. Tourists can use relatively inexpensive taxis or even more affordable buses. Bus drivers and taxi drivers speak the most popular European languages, so it will not be difficult to communicate with them. The cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and San Cristobal de la Laguna are connected to each other by a tramway, many tourists even consider this a special feature of the Canaries.
For those who like to move around on their own, hotels offer to rent a car, and often the cost of this service is included in the price of hotel accommodation. There are many roads in the Canary Islands, so travel can bring a lot of pleasure from exploring the sights.
Attractions
In addition to beaches and unique natural sites, the Canary Islands are famous for their interesting places to visit. Many people first go to the city of Galdar, which is located in the northwestern part of Gran Canaria.
It is famous for containing the remains of the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands. There is a Cueva Pintada cave, the walls of which are dotted with drawings of the Guanches tribe. Scientists suggest that these bright ornaments could serve as a calendar for ancient people. If you want to get acquainted not with prehistoric remains, but with the living people of the Canaries, then you can go to the village of Pueblo Canario. There are many colorful houses built in the traditional Canarian style.
You can get in touch with history and art by visiting the island of Lanzarote. Ancient fortresses still stand here. One of them, San Gabriel, built in the sixteenth century, was taken over as an archaeological museum, and the other, Castillo de San José, was turned into a museum of modern art.
The island of Tenerife is famous for the Guimar desert. In addition to amazing sands, here you can find ancient pyramids. Scientists believe that they were built by the first inhabitants of the Canaries to help in agriculture. Archaeologists have found caves under the pyramids in which the natives lived. Now these places have been turned into an ethnographic park and everyone can visit the local museum or buy souvenirs that are sold here.
Of particular interest to any self-respecting collector of attractions is the house of Christopher Columbus. It is located in Las Palmas. Now this place is a museum, where every visitor is told about the amazing wanderings of the great navigator.
The Canary Islands have an active volcano Caldera de Taburiente, which is one of the pearls of the Canary Islands. It is located on the island of La Palma, where, due to its activity, the picturesque cliffs of Los Gigantes and the amazing gorge of Hell were formed.
Canary Islands Events
The Canary Islands will be interesting not only for adults, but also for children. Young tourists can be shown the active volcano Teide. Teenagers can even climb it. Las Americas will please animal lovers with an eagle park, in which not only the eagles themselves live, but also fur seals, crocodiles, as well as various representatives of the cat and monkey families. Park workers often hold shows with trained birds. In addition, the Canaries have a parrot park, which allows you not only to admire the bright birds, but also swim with dolphins, and a monkey park where you can pet a lemur. After talking with animals, children can go to Siam Park, which will teach them how to ride a slider and help them have a great time in water attractions.
Adults in the Canary Islands will find plenty of cultural activities for themselves. In mid-February, the carnival begins in the Canary Islands, which lasts ten days. Latin American music sounds, the streets are filled with a lot of people dressed in costumes of all ages – both a resident of the Canaries and any visitor can take part in a costume show. The fun goes on two islands at once: Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
At the end of May, the feast of Corpus Christi begins in the Canary Islands; it ends only in mid-June. These days, amazing pictures are created from flower petals, colorful sand and salt right on the squares. They depict religious subjects or copy the works of great artists. On this holiday, various processions are held and songs are sung.
The Canary Islands are famous for excellent diving, because the rocky shores are amazingly beautiful both underwater and for the local sport – Canarian wrestling. This is a team game in which two groups of a dozen players participate. The rules are simple: you need to knock the enemy to the ground. The team with the most members left wins.
The Canary Islands are therefore an ideal tourist destination in almost every respect. In the Canaries, you can relax both alone and with the whole family. Here are very affordable prices, you can choose any type of holiday. The Canary Islands conquer everyone who once got to them.
Canary Islands on the world map where are
colorful pictures of heavenly rest pop up. The way it is. The Canaries are so far from Russia that few tourists dare to visit them. In this article I will tell you where the Canary Islands are located on the world map and which island you should go to.
What animal are the Canary Islands named after? However, it is not. The name Canary Islands (in Spanish, Las Islas Canarias) comes from the Latin Canarias Insulae, which means “islands of dogs”.
In the works of the ancient Roman scientist Pliny the Elder, one can find a mention of a large number of dogs on the island. Two of them were taken by the Moorish king Yuba II during his journey. Later, dogs appeared on the coat of arms of the Canary Islands.
According to another version, dogs were called sea dogs or sea lions, which formed large colonies on the islands.
According to the third version, the natives of the island of Guanches considered dogs to be sacred animals. There may be a relationship between the dog-headed Egyptian deity Anubis and the Canarian worship of this animal.
Where are the Canary Islands on the world map
Many tourists doubt which country the Canary Islands belong to. The answer is simple: the Canary Islands belong to Spain, but are 1000 km away. from its coast in the Atlantic Ocean. At a distance of 115 km from them is Africa. Morocco is closest to the Canary Islands. The Canaries consist of 7 large and 6 small islands. The Canary archipelago is an autonomous region of Spain and has two capitals: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Despite the fact that the Canary Islands are part of Spain, there is a different climate and a completely different atmosphere. The Canary Islands offer year-round recreation, however, the ocean water can be chilly in winter. By the way, this is the only place in Europe where you can swim in winter. But most importantly, the Canaries are rich in sights, beautiful landscapes and preserved traditions. It is for the exotic that tourists come here.
By the way, when planning a holiday in the Canary Islands, do not forget to apply for a visa to Spain. A Schengen visa is required to visit the Canary Islands.
Canary Islands of volcanic origin. One can really say about the inhabitants of many islands that they live like on a volcano. Most volcanoes are dormant, and only on the island of Hierro did the volcano show signs of life not so long ago. But there have been no real dangerous volcanic eruptions in the Canary Islands for a hundred years.
Since the arrival of the Spaniards, Catholicism began to spread on the island. The main Cathedral is located in the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna.

When we talk about the Canary Islands, first of all we are talking about the island of Tenerife, although in fact it is a beautiful, but not at all the best island in the archipelago. There are thirteen Canary Islands, of which seven are large and six are small. Rumor has it that there is another island …. We will also talk about this in our article. In addition, myths and realities about the Canaries await you, revealing the secrets of the climate and showing significant differences not only between the islands of the archipelago, but within them. To begin with, let’s list the islands, as they are closely interconnected, and then we’ll talk about the classification from different angles, which will help you decide on the choice of a vacation spot exactly to your taste and wishes.
Inhabited Canary Islands:
Fuerteventura confidently leads the ranking, as the number of beaches on this island exceeds 150 and stretches for more than 70 km. Most of the beaches boast white sand, but there is also black volcanic sand. In fact, this island is an exclusively beach holiday, as it has a minimum of infrastructure for other entertainment. Not many restaurants or shops and endless beaches with constant wind and waves. This is a favorite place for surfers. The name of the island speaks for itself: “fuerte” means “strong” and “el viento” means wind.
I consider it necessary to note the second unusually Maspalomas beach on the island of Gran Canaria :
The uniqueness lies in the fact that the coastline of the beach is sand dunes, with an area of about 400 hectares, which are a protected area on which it is forbidden to move on any means of transport. The peculiarity of Maspalomas beach is the ever-present wind that redistributes the sand along the coast. This is the southernmost point of the island, to which the sand was brought by the wind from the Sahara desert.
The sand is distributed in different ways and every day you can see a hill in a place where yesterday it was not even in sight. This place is unusual, but in my opinion, its choice depends on the season, because in winter, with a sufficiently low air and water temperature, the presence of wind makes a beach holiday here not comfortable, while Amadores beach , located in the southwest, is an ideal place . Amadores an enclosed artificial bay of white sand, protected by mountains from the wind and breakwaters from the waves, will offer a calm warm ocean at a comfortable temperature without wind. In my opinion, this is the perfect place for a beach holiday in the Canary Islands in winter.
Talking about Tenerife, one cannot fail to mention the beaches of the island, as our compatriots love and know this particular island and want to know more about it. It is believed that is the best beach on the island of El Duc , which is located in the resort of Adeje.
I have been, I have seen, there is something to compare with on the island and not only, therefore I will mark it as worthy, but I do not consider it the best. In my opinion, the highlight are Tenerife black sand beaches .
On the island of Lanzarote there are famous beaches Puntade Papagayo (Punta de Papagayo ). Separated by volcanic rocks, bays with yellow and white sand and turquoise water are the highlight of the island. There is a separate bay for nudists and 5 more beaches stretching for kilometers where you can enjoy the beauty of virgin nature.
There are other beaches of other Canary Islands, which are distinguished by the rare color of the water, the landscape, the legends created around them or other significant facts, but we will not be able to discuss everything within one article, so I suggest moving on to the next question.
Canary Islands ocean what and when:
Among the large islands, on two of the large islands, the temperature of the water in the ocean is much colder almost all year round than on the others. These are the two eastern islands of the archipelago: Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. This is due to the cold currents off the coast of these marvelous islands. Therefore, you should not assume that you can choose any island at any time of the year for a beach holiday, you may be disappointed. Of course, in summer, when the air temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the cool ocean invigorates and saves you from overheating, but in windy and cool winters, most of the beaches are empty. Unless surfers cut through the waves at any time of the year, and it is on these islands that they are the vast majority.
The cold waters of the ocean do not attract dangerous predators, so shark attacks do not happen here, just as there is not a wide variety of dangerous rays or sea urchins.
But just because the ocean temperature in Lanzarote is cold, it doesn’t mean that you can’t take a dip in the ocean. Residents of Lanzarote already in February go on a regular boat to the neighboring small island of La Graciosa and swim with great pleasure, as the water temperature is higher there.
On other islands of the archipelago, the water temperature in the ocean is higher, but also strongly depends on the season and the resort. For example, in Tenerife, in the northern part of the island, in the oldest resort of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the water temperature barely reaches 19 degrees in winter, and in the south of the island at the same time, many swim in the salty ocean at a temperature of about 23 degrees. The situation is similar in Gran Knaria, where in the north the ocean is cold, not criminal and cold,
and in the south in Puerto Rico and on Amadores beach, the water is full of people who want to swim at the same 23 degrees.
Which Canary Islands are the warmest:
The warmest eternal rivals, the provincial capital islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. But the concept of warm is very specific to the Canary Islands. Let me explain why with a specific example.
Mountain peaks correspond to areas of the island where it is colder and rainier, clouds cling to high mountains and settle there. This is more true for islands where the elevation changes are greater, for example, on the aforementioned Tenerife and Gran Canaria. On more gently sloping islands without high peaks, the temperature is more or less uniform.
A large friendly family that has long dreamed of visiting the Canary Islands took a long time to decide to do this and chose the sunny island of Gran Canaria for their two-week vacation. Well, it’s a great choice. But the rest was not entirely successful … And the thing is that the family, in order to save money, decided to rent a country house in a place called Moya in the northern part of the island in the mountains. It is a pity that they did not take into account the peculiarity of the island, due to the fact that in the mountainous regions the air temperature is much lower than on the coast and the possibility of precipitation is much higher here. And so it happened, instead of the temperature of 23 degrees promised in numerous stories about the resorts of the island, they had to be content with 12 degrees. As a result, the economy cost, as they say, sideways. I had to rent a large minivan for the whole family and make daily two-hour trips back and forth to Amadores beach, which is comfortable at this time of the year. In order not to spoil your vacation and not be disappointed, you should carefully consider not only the choice of the island, but also the choice of the resort on it!
The greenest island of the Canary archipelago
The greenest island with the most vegetation, La Palma, is the westernmost in terms of its geographical location.
The most deserted island of the archipelago is Lanzarote. Vegetation on it in the form of green bushy plantings appears after short rains and disappears after a week, leaving lava fields and lifeless plains.
The most popular island of the archipelago among the inhabitants of the Scandinavian countries is Gran Canaria. The tourist business of Gran Canaria, represented by guides and hotels, dreams of tourists from Russia, while the island of Tenerife, the most popular among Russians, dreams of tourists from Scandinavia and Europe. Therefore, if you want to be surrounded by compatriots and most services are provided, including in Russian, then you better go to Tenerife, and if communicating in English and German is not a problem for you, then why not go to Gran Canaria.
If you can’t decide which of the islands to choose, then don’t. I suggest that you do not stop at one, but if time permits, visit two islands during your vacation, or maybe choose new islands each time. I did just that and in the period from 12/30/2014 to 01/09/2015 I managed to visit Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. How to get between the islands is described in detail by me, and more than one article will be written about the extraordinary beauty of the islands.
AVIAMANIA wishes you an exciting journey and bright emotions!!!

Canary Islands on the map
Author Cartographer Reading 2 min. Published
The Canary Islands are located in the Atlantic Ocean. In total, some 100-150 km to the northwest is the African continent. The Canary Islands belong to Spain, from which they are separated by 1500 km from the north-eastern part.
The climate in the Canary Islands is predominantly tropical trade wind. The islands are moderately hot and dry. If we consider the island as a whole, then we can say that the temperature is evenly distributed. It is warm here all year round, and the water temperature is rarely below 20 °C.
Canary Islands on the world map
The Canary Islands attract tourists all year round. They are famous for many attractions, one of which is the pyramids of Guimar. They are 6 stepped truncated basalt pyramids, and are located on the island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands. Here you can also visit the Anthropological and Historical Museums, as well as the large zoo and oceanarium Loro Park. In addition to numerous museums in the Canary Islands, there are also botanical gardens, which are located in Puerto de la Cruz. In addition to the sights, tourists are attracted by a wonderful beach holiday, as well as spectacular events that take place everywhere on the territory of the islands. First of all, this is the carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which takes place in February. About a million people take part in this carnival, most of which are tourists. In addition, there are other, smaller scale festivals, carnivals and similar events.
Map of the Canary Islands in Russian
There are also national parks on the territory of the Canary Islands. There are four in total. The largest of them is the Teide National Park. It attracts tourists with its beauties and, first of all, with the Teide and Pico Viejo volcanoes located on it. The second park is Garajonay (Homer). It is dominated by laurel forests and is home to various birds and bats. On the island of Palma there is a national park called Caldera de Taburiente, and on the island of Lanzarote there is the Timanfaya park, which is dominated by volcanic landscapes.
The whole archipelago of the Canary Islands is divided into seven large and inhabited islands. It also includes several smaller ones. Administratively, the Canary Islands are divided into two provinces, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas. In total, the archipelago has 13 islands. The central of them, Tenerife, is the largest and, naturally, the most populated of all.
Canary Islands on the world map, their features and differences
Canary Islands – one of the most famous resorts in the world, which is an archipelago of thirteen islands. They are located in the Atlantic Ocean. This place is famous for its volcanic beaches, breathtaking landscape and pleasant climate that allows you to swim in warm water all year round.
The Canary Islands are not so easy to find on the world map because of their small size and not obvious location. In their search, it can also be confusing that the Canaries are a province of Spain that once gained autonomy, but they are located not far from Africa. They are a thousand kilometers away from Spain, and only one hundred and fifteen from the African mainland.
Due to this location, the local atmosphere is far from European. The Canary Islands are more like Latin America than Europe. Juicy fruits, volcanoes, golden and black sand, tropical plants and warmth all year round attract tourists from all over the world.
The Canary Islands on the map are not too crowded. If you look closely, you can see that only some of them are signed: Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife and La Palma. However, El Hierro and La Gomera are not deprived. They are the largest, most populated and visited. However, next to them you can find a few more patches of land, and these islands on the map are also Canary. They are called Roque del Oste and Roque del Este, Alegranza, Lobos, La Graciosa and Montaña Clara.
The capital of the Canarian Autonomy moves from city to city every four years. The first one is Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the second one is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
A bit of history
Most people might think that the name of the Canary Islands comes from the fact that canaries live here, but in reality the situation is the opposite: the birds were named after the islands. The Canaries got their name due to the fact that once upon a time there lived special dogs resembling mastiffs, and the name of this breed gave the name to the islands. These dogs are now emblazoned on the coat of arms of the islands.
The first settlers to these islands came from Africa about five thousand years ago. Europeans got here relatively recently – about two thousand years ago. At a time when it was believed that the Earth was flat, they seriously believed that the edge of the world is located precisely on the Canary Islands. At that time, the same dogs that gave the name to the Canaries lived here.
For a time, the islands resisted the Spanish conquest, but by the end of the fifteenth century the entire archipelago fell into the hands of Spain, and already at the beginning of the sixteenth century slaves and cane plantations appeared here. Shortly after this, the islands are in crisis, people are served as pirates, and grapes are grown instead of reeds. Several times the islands became poorer, then richer, and Queen Isabella II made the Canaries a free trade zone. The islands served as the starting point for all sorts of unrest and rebellions, which stopped only after Spain gave the islands autonomy. In the middle of the last century, the first plane landed here, it was from that moment that the tourism business flourished on the islands, which got even stronger when the islands joined the European Union nine years after Spain.
Who lives in the Canaries?
Now the population of the Canary Islands looks like it consists entirely of Spaniards. However, as can be seen from the history of the islands, the Canary people are a mixture of many different nationalities and even races, because the Canaries were once a bridge between Africa, Europe and Latin America. And the people resulting from all historical events speak Spanish, the culture also develops mainly Spanish, but its representatives call themselves Canarians.
Oddly enough, there are even more Canarians in the Canary Islands than tourists. It turns out this is due to the fact that visitors most often go to large cities, while the outskirts remain with the indigenous population.
Climatic and natural conditions
The Canary Islands are located in the Tropic of Cancer, not far from them the Gulf Stream flows in the ocean, and hot winds often blow here from Africa, so the climate of the islands is consistently warm. There is no clear division into seasons, all year round the weather pleases with moderately high air temperatures, due to which the climate of the Canary Islands is considered one of the ideal on the entire planet. In winter, the average temperature here is kept at nineteen degrees, and in summer – twenty-six.
Despite the fact that the territory of the Canaries in the aggregate is not that big, the weather on one island at the same time can be very different from the weather on another. This is due to the mountainous landscape of several islands and their position relative to each other. The eastern islands are characterized by higher air temperature, drier here than in the western part of the archipelago, where it rains more often. The north side of the islands is somewhat cooler than the south. The southern shores are better warmed by the sun. It can be much colder at the top of the Canary Mountains than at the bottom, and this difference is very surprising to most tourists.
If you take a detailed map of the Canary Islands, you will notice that there are no rivers on the islands, however, you can find a huge number of plants here. This is due to frequent rains and, of course, ocean moisture, from which we can conclude that the sun is still often hidden by clouds, but warm rain pours from them. The only “setup” from the weather that can be expected here is the sirocco wind. It is very dry and suffocating, occasionally flies here from the deserts of Africa.
Each island boasts its own climatic features that distinguish it from others. For example, Fuerteventura is like a miniature Sahara – it’s a real desert. Its center is deserted and quiet, while on the banks, thanks to the abundance of sand, there are the best beaches of the entire archipelago. Lanzarote is a natural reserve of volcanoes, and La Palma is famous for its ancient forest.
Due to such a variety of weather conditions and the separation of the islands from the mainland, many rare representatives of the plant and animal kingdom have been preserved here. Scientists and conservationists have organized several reserves in the Canary Islands, they make up about a third of the total territory of the archipelago.
Where is the best place to stay?
Due to the variety of landscapes and climatic features, each island of the archipelago has its own set of resorts and attractions for tourists.
Tenerife is the largest of all the Canary Islands. Here you can find interesting ways to spend time, both lovers of noisy parties and supporters of a quiet holiday. For those who prefer to drink and have fun, the cities of Los Cristianos and Las Americas are suitable. They do not stop discos, and Western Europeans are regulars for these cities.
Puerto de la Cruz has the opposite tourist orientation, it is one of the most peaceful places on the island. The Canarian cliffs are presented here in all their glory, which is why, however, it will not be possible to swim among them, if only in the pools near the hotels.
The most versatile of all the islands of the Canary resorts is Gran Canaria. For visitors, there are a lot of various shops and various establishments. There are many hotels and entertainment for lovers of a fun holiday. Athletes can visit windsurfing and fishing centers, and yacht lovers can easily find any boat here for rent or excursions. In addition, this island allows you to skydive or feel like a desert dweller on Dune Beach.
The best sands are found on the island of Fuerteventura, here are the largest beaches, where no one will be crowded, and the center of the island will help you relax in the silence of the sand dunes. Water sports centers thrive along the coasts.
Lanzarote will appeal to everyone who loves volcanoes and nature. There are no amenities of civilization here, but the landscape of this island in places is similar to the lunar surface. In addition, here you can meet tourists and scientists who care about the preservation of nature, for sure you can hear a lot of interesting things from them.
The other large islands of the Canary area are not so rich in hotels and entertainment centers, but their nature is an attraction in itself, where you can do agritourism and enjoy the beauty of landscapes.
The remaining small islands of the archipelago will delight everyone with cliffs, mountain landscapes and small hidden beaches that will appeal to everyone who loves solitude.
Ways of transportation
You can get to the Canary archipelago by sea and air. People also come here by ship, but the most common transport is still air. You can also fly from one island to another by plane. Canarian airlines help you fly from the southern edge of the archipelago to the northern one in just a matter of minutes. Thanks to this, you can save a lot of time, which takes the crossing from island to island by means of boats or yachts. However, most people still prefer sea transport to travel around the islands of the Canary archipelago, because with the help of a sea vessel you can leisurely survey all the beauties of each island, listen to the fascinating stories of guides, enjoy the warm wind and salty water spray.
There are several modes of transport in the Canary Islands themselves. Tourists can use relatively inexpensive taxis or even more affordable buses. Bus drivers and taxi drivers speak the most popular European languages, so it will not be difficult to communicate with them. The cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and San Cristobal de la Laguna are connected to each other by a tramway, many tourists even consider this a special feature of the Canaries.
For those who like to move around on their own, hotels offer to rent a car, and often the cost of this service is included in the price of hotel accommodation. There are many roads in the Canary Islands, so travel can bring a lot of pleasure from exploring the sights.
Attractions
In addition to beaches and unique natural sites, the Canary Islands are famous for their interesting places to visit. Many people first go to the city of Galdar, which is located in the northwestern part of Gran Canaria.
It is famous for containing the remains of the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands. There is a Cueva Pintada cave, the walls of which are dotted with drawings of the Guanches tribe. Scientists suggest that these bright ornaments could serve as a calendar for ancient people. If you want to get acquainted not with prehistoric remains, but with the living people of the Canaries, then you can go to the village of Pueblo Canario. There are many colorful houses built in the traditional Canarian style.
You can get in touch with history and art by visiting the island of Lanzarote. Ancient fortresses still stand here. One of them, San Gabriel, built in the sixteenth century, was taken over as an archaeological museum, and the other, Castillo de San José, was turned into a museum of modern art.
Tenerife is famous for the Guimar desert. In addition to amazing sands, here you can find ancient pyramids. Scientists believe that they were built by the first inhabitants of the Canaries to help in agriculture. Archaeologists have found caves under the pyramids in which the natives lived. Now these places have been turned into an ethnographic park and everyone can visit the local museum or buy souvenirs that are sold here.
Of particular interest to any self-respecting collector of attractions is the house of Christopher Columbus. It is located in Las Palmas. Now this place is a museum, where every visitor is told about the amazing wanderings of the great navigator.
The Canary Islands have an active volcano Caldera de Taburiente, which is one of the pearls of the Canary Islands. It is located on the island of La Palma, where, due to its activity, the picturesque cliffs of Los Gigantes and the amazing gorge of Hell were formed.
Events in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands will be interesting not only for adults, but also for children. Young tourists can be shown the active volcano Teide. Teenagers can even climb it. Las Americas will please animal lovers with an eagle park, in which not only the eagles themselves live, but also fur seals, crocodiles, as well as various representatives of the cat and monkey families. Park workers often hold shows with trained birds. In addition, the Canaries have a parrot park, which allows you not only to admire the bright birds, but also swim with dolphins, and a monkey park where you can pet a lemur. After talking with animals, children can go to Siam Park, which will teach them how to ride a slider and help them have a great time in water attractions.
And adults in the Canary Islands will find plenty of cultural activities for themselves. In mid-February, the carnival begins in the Canary Islands, which lasts ten days. Latin American music sounds, the streets are filled with a lot of people dressed in costumes of all ages – both a resident of the Canaries and any visitor can take part in a costume show. The fun goes on two islands at once: Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
At the end of May, the feast of Corpus Christi begins in the Canary Islands; it ends only in mid-June. These days, amazing pictures are created from flower petals, colorful sand and salt right on the squares. They depict religious subjects or copy the works of great artists. On this holiday, various processions are held and songs are sung.
The Canary Islands are famous for excellent diving, because the rocky shores are amazingly beautiful both under water and the local sport – Canarian wrestling. This is a team game in which two groups of a dozen players participate. The rules are simple: you need to knock the enemy to the ground. The team with the most members left wins.

Map of the Canary Islands / Geography of the Canary Islands / Map of the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands, once known to the ancient Romans as the “Happy Islands”, were named after the large dogs (Canes) that inhabit the islands.
Originally home to an indigenous population known as Guanches , Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Greeks have visited the Canary Islands over the years.
King Juba is credited with opening the islands to the Western world in the 1st century AD.
At the beginning of the 15th century, the expedition of French explorers Jean de Bethencourt and Gadifer de la Salle, nobles of Henry III of Castile, marked the beginning of the Castilian conquest of the islands. natives. Despite opposition from both sides, Pope Nicholas V declared the Canary Islands under Portuguese control, which eventually led the initial crisis to escalate into an uprising.
The indigenous inhabitants of the Canary Islands resisted the Castilian invaders for almost a century, until the Treaty of Alcaco was signed in 1479, which settled disputes, including the transfer of control of the Canary Islands to Castile.
Complete peace between the natives and the Castiles was not achieved until 1495, and the Canary Islands were incorporated into the Kingdom of Castile after a reconciliation.
Under the rule of Castile, a new economic model was imposed on the islands, based on the cultivation of certain crops, including sugar cane, and then wine. Santa Cruz and Las Palmas became important stopping points for the Spanish conquerors, traders and missionaries on their way to the New Light, and this trade route brought great prosperity to the islands.
The islands soon became an attractive stopping point for merchants and adventurers from all over Europe, as well as pirates and privateers. Both Las Palmas and Santa Cruz were attacked throughout the 17th century.
In the 18th century, the Canary Islands were in recession due to fierce competition from Spain’s American colonies, and the islanders were looking for a new cash crop known as cochineal , in an attempt to salvage the unstable economy. By the end of the 18th century, many Canary Islanders emigrated to various Spanish American territories.
At the beginning of the 20th century, rivalries broke out between the cities of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz, in which both competed for the status of the capital, and in 1927 the islands were divided into two provinces. The rivalry continues to this day.
Francisco Franco was appointed commandant general of the Canary Islands in 1936 and quickly joined the military uprising that eventually escalated into the Spanish Civil War. A few years later, opposition to the Franco regime began to form, and the inhabitants of the islands created various nationalist, left-wing parties.
After Franco’s death in 1975, an independence movement took shape and a democratic constitutional monarchy was established in Spain, giving the Canary Islands autonomy.
Located off the northwest coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, especially among Europeans.
The archipelago includes seven large islands, all remnants of very steep extinct volcanoes, and the weather conditions here are considered ideal, with some of the best beaches on the planet.
Popular attractions include Maspalomas in Gran Canaria and the Teide National Park, home to the third highest volcano in the world, Mount Teide.

Where are the Canaries?
How do a few days on a tropical island paradise sound? Pretty good, right? Nothing but the rays of the sun warming your body and the soothing sounds of the sea that sing to you as you nap on the beach… yes please!
If that sounds good to you, where should you go? If you need a recommendation, we have one for you. How about a trip to the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are an archipelago of eight islands off the northwest coast of Africa. Although closer to Africa than to Europe, the Canary Islands are part of Spain. Over 2 million inhabitants call the Canary Islands home!
The Canaries have an interesting and unique claim to fame. They have not one, but two capitals: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Remember this fact. Someday this might come in handy during trivia competitions! In one of the capitals – Santa Cruz de Tenerife – the second most popular carnival in the world is held annually in February, attracting more than a million visitors annually.
The Canary Islands were formed as a result of volcanic activity. The largest island, Tenerife, has Mount Teide, which is the third largest volcano in the world. It attracts over 12 million visitors annually.
Tourism is important for the economy of the Canary Islands. The beautiful beaches dotted around the islands are popular destinations for visitors, especially as the islands are close to the equator and enjoy a subtropical climate throughout the year.
But there are many other attractions, such as four national parks and plenty of interesting wildlife. For example, if you go diving off the coast of the Canary Islands, you might see the rare, endangered loggerhead tortoise.
You may be wondering how the Canary Islands got their name. While it may seem logical, they are not actually named after a small yellow bird commonly known as a canary. Instead, the islands got their name from the Latin word – Insula Canaria , meaning “Isle of Dogs”.
The ancient Romans, who first visited the islands, gave them this name. Some historians believe that this name comes from the fact that the indigenous people of the islands worshiped dogs. Others believe that the dogs in question were actually monk seals, translated in Latin as “sea wolves”.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria experiences significant seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.
The muggier period of the year lasts for 5.1 months, from June 13 to November 17, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 12% of the time. The month with the most muggy days in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is September, with 13.5 days that are muggy or worse.
The month with the fewest muggy days in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is January, with 0. 3 days that are muggy or worse.

Methodology
For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.
Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.
Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0. 04 inches of precipitation or more.
Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.
Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.
Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).
Temperatures in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

Temperature and Dew Point
There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and a given station.
The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

Other Data
All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.
All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.
Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

*** Forecast – Our forecast for the water temperature
Actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees from the indicated values. This is noticeable after heavy rain or after prolonged periods of strong winds. Some downstream winds cause cold, deep waters to replace surface waters that have been warmed by the sun.
To develop a forecast, we use our own mathematical model, which takes into account the current change in water temperature, historical data and the main weather trends, wind strength and direction, air temperature in each specific region. We also take into account data for other resorts in Spain.

Monthly weather in Gran CanariaJanuary February March April May June July 9000 Weather in Gran CanariaGran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canary archipelago and a popular holiday destination among European tourists. The climate of the island is suitable for a visit even in winter, because it is never too cold here, but it is even less often very hot. Gran Canaria can hardly be called a heavenly exotic island lost in the middle of the ocean. There is no incredible amount of ancient or unique sights here either. It is easier to say that the Spaniards were able to use the natural resources given to them to the maximum, and now Gran Canaria is a well-known, well-maintained resort that attracts thousands of tourists all year round. The nature of Gran Canaria is amazing – perhaps the island can compete with Tenerife in this respect. The center of the island is covered with high picturesque mountains and hills, lush forests grow on the northern side, and the south of the island is represented by desert lands with cacti and sand dunes: a sort of piece of Sahara in the endless waters of the ocean. Gran Canaria cannot be boring: in addition to a beach holiday, you can take walks in national parks, taste delicious national cuisine, wander through the cozy streets of the town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, relax in the midday heat in a cozy botanical park, have fun in the water park or the zoo, have fun in the Holiday World Maspalomas amusement park or just immerse yourself in the amazing atmosphere of quiet fishing villages. The best way to explore all the sights of the island is to rent a car. The island is not so big – you can drive around it along the coast in about a couple of hours. However, the road along the western coast of Gran Canaria is a mountainous serpentine with very sharp turns, where you should be careful. The island’s nightlife is excellent, and Maspalomas, a resort in the south of Gran Canaria, is especially fun. Bars and clubs of the island offer a pleasant stay for every taste and budget – there are jazz bars, and wine bars, and night discos, and even gay clubs. Finally, a big plus of the island is that the prices here are quite reasonable – both for food in cafes and restaurants, as well as for accommodation and souvenirs. Air temperature in Gran Canaria
