Gran Canaria, fairy-tale island | Hello Canary Islands

Also known as the ‘miniature continent’, Gran Canaria is renowned for its marked contrasts. On a single day, we can enjoy marvellous beaches surrounded by dunes and climb peaks covered in Canary Island pine forests, with their greenery standing out starkly against the dark volcanic earth.

Contenido

Along the way, we’ll encounter steep ravines, valleys, imposing rocks and volcanic calderas, amazing cliffs… Incredible places we can see from hiking trails, stopping every now and then to look at all the beautiful scenery. Or we can also see the island by car or public transport, as Gran Canaria has an extensive network of well-kept roads.

Just like the other Canary Islands, it is blessed with an enviable climate, an eternal springtime that invites you to experience its rich natural and scenic diversity intensely, its lovely fishing and inland villages, its traditions, culture and history. And also the modernity of the tourist resorts and urban hubs, like Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The lively, cosmopolitan city is home to one of the most precious gems the island has to offer and that also surprises visitors. Would you like to see it for yourself?

Gran Canaria adds to its incredible offer with a variety of cultural, recreational and sporting activities, as well as a wide array of accommodation, restaurants, shops and well-being centres.

What beach are we going to today?

Without a doubt, the beaches are first on the list of attractions Gran Canaria has to offer. There are enough to suit every taste: large, lively, quiet, coves, with golden or dark sand, or volcanic rock, and… Surprise! The island is home to one of the best urban beaches in Europe.

The biggest beaches are in the south with calm waters and mostly with golden sand. Being near the main tourist areas, they are close to all kinds of services, as well as being easy to access.

The ones in the north are quite different: small coves with dark sand or volcanic rock, more waves, and some that are difficult to reach, although there’s also the option of cooling down in one of the lovely natural pools. These are beautiful, wild beaches, capable of getting us to connect with nature in its purest form.

At the natural heart of the island

Gran Canaria is more than sun and beaches. It’s also nature and beautiful agricultural landscapes, like the one that spreads across the heart of the island, presided by the Roque Nublo, a striking volcanic monolith that can be reached via a trail that is apt for almost everyone. From this natural vantage point, the views are incredible.

The crowning jewel of the grandiose cliffs in the northwest of the island, a landscape known as the ‘dragon’s tail’,  is the Tamadaba Natural Park, one of the best preserved primitive Canary Island pine forests in the Canary Islands, along with the one in the Inagua Reserve, which is home to the Gran Canaria blue chaffinch, a small bird that lives exclusively on this island.

Contenido

These and many other attractions of great scenic value are to be found in the biosphere reserve, a large territory that occupies a significant part of the island’s surface area. The nature, the traditional work done in these areas, the accommodation and the rural tourist activities all coexist under a respectful, sustainable strategy that aims to guarantee their conservation.

Natural and rural spaces, that can be visited thanks to the extensive network of trails crossing the endemic pine forests and ravines alongside large freshwater reservoirs or lava flows… Surroundings in which we also find charming villages and hamlets where we can stop and recover our strength with some of the local cuisine or simply have a chat with friendly, hospitable locals.

Discover delightful villages and hamlets

Far from the lively urban hubs and tourist resorts of the coast, inland Gran Canaria has quiet villages and hamlets where nothing is hurried or rushed. Peaceful and blissful, where the concept of ‘time’ takes on a different meaning, one which lets us connect to a simple life, still rooted in tradition.  

One of these places with that special charm is Tejada, the Gran Canaria municipality that is one of the Prettiest Towns in Spain. And there’s a reason for that. Here you’ll find the Cruz de Tejeda National Parador, a modern hotel that is perfectly integrated into the environment and from which we can see one of the prettiest landscapes on the island. Very near Tejeda is Artenara, the highest town in Gran Canaria, right at the entrance to the lush pine forest of Tamadaba.

Contenido

Other places you have to see are the gorgeous historic quarters of Santa Lucía de Tirajana and Agüimes; or Fataga, with its lush palm grove and whitewashed houses that have preserved the rural architecture of Gran Canaria. Further north, we reach Teror and discover its basilica and beautiful, typical balconies on the houses around the square; and Arucas, whose centre has been declared a site of artistic and historic interest and which houses a magnificent architectural work, the Parish Church of San Juan Bautista, with stonework and wonderful stained-glass windows.

The list of towns and hamlets spread across the island would be never-ending. Exploring them is, without a doubt, the best way to discover the identity and idiosyncrasy of Gran Canaria.

On a cultural tour of museums

It’s almost impossible to find a town on the island that doesn’t have at least one museum, although the capital city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, offers the widest variety. While walking through the heart of the magnificent historic quarter, you must visit El Museo Canario, which takes us through different aspects of the life of the first settlers, with curious pieces such as a collection of skulls and one of mummies; Casa de Colón (Columbus’s House), a unique building which, as well as bearing testimony to Columbus’s stay in the Canary Islands, shows the history of the islands and their relationship with America; and the CAAM-Atlantic Centre of Modern Art, with exhibitions by European, American and African artists linked to contemporary culture. For fans of technology and science, the Elder Museum is a must-see.

On the rest of the island, we can find astonishing places such as the Casas Cuevas Ethnographic Museum in Artenara, located inside an ancient dwelling that was most likely inhabited by the first settlers. The museum contains furniture and household utensils that are so simple that they bring us back to the modest lifestyle of the past. Other ethnographic establishments are the Museum of History and Traditions in Tejeda which, among other unique items, has a recreation of an old food and general goods shop; and the La Rama Museum in Agaete, which is dedicated to one of the most renowned and popular festivities in the Canary Islands, of the same name, which receives thousands of visitors every summer.

A route that’s the perfect excuse for exploring Gran Canaria and discovering its history and culture.

Discover fascinating archaeological sites

The island has preserved a significant part of its historic and archaeological heritage, allowing us to better understand the culture and way of life of the past inhabitants of Gran Canaria.

A good example would be the cultural landscape of Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria, which have been declared a World Heritage Site, which should give you an idea of how precious these spaces are. It is a large mountainous area in the centre of the island that is home to the traces of a unique cultural process that evolved over the course of 1,500 years with minimal outside influence, from its Berber roots in Northern Africa to the Castilian conquest.

In the north of Gran Canaria, we find an archaeological treasure: the Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park in Gáldar, a town with more than fifty houses and artificial caves that formed part of a pre-Hispanic settlement. One of the caves contains an exceptional example of wall painting by the original inhabitants. In this area, you can also find the Maipés de Agaete Archaeological Park, a spectacular, enormous field of volcanic rock surrounded by the beauty of the valley that the natives used as a funeral area.

Contenido

Guayadeque, one of the largest and most beautiful cliffs on the south-east of the island, is of great archaeological value. It has numerous caves that were used by the ancient settlers of Gran Canaria. Another interesting archaeological area is La Fortaleza, which has a visitors’ centre where we can discover things about the daily life of the island’s first settlers, as well as the cave-houses where they lived, a housing model that is still used.

And these are just some of the places that have borne witness to the past and have luckily lasted up to our times, allowing us to learn about, value and respect them.

Pamper yourself on the island of well-being

Gran Canaria is known across Europe as a place that’s good for your health. Since around the 19th century, travellers have come to the island from the continent to recover from all sorts of ailments thanks to its soothing climate. With the passage of time, the concept of rest and recovery has evolved, but revitalisation and the resulting physical and mental well-being are still something the island guarantees.

Sand, sun, sea, fresh air, volcanic rocks, modern treatments and facilities, qualified professionals… Gran Canaria has all you need to pamper yourself, spend some time getting your energy back and return home as good as new, be it at any of the numerous wellness centres that the island has to offer or taking a relaxing evening walk breathing in the sea breeze or the fresh forest air.

Do your favourite sport

There is no sport that can’t be enjoyed in this place surrounded by the sea with its year-round spring weather. And with all sorts of facilities and services, there’s no excuse not to spend some time exercising our bodies.

There are infinite options: playing golf on modern courses while enjoying the ocean breeze, getting on a board and battling the waves and wind, riding a mountain bike along the routes especially for them, running along the seashore, swimming in the crystalline waters, climbing mountains that are apt for all levels… It doesn’t matter what shape we’re in. In Gran Canaria, there’s a sport for everyone.

And let’s not forget the nightlife!

The fun and entertainment continue when daylight fades over the island. If you still have a bit of energy, the tourist resorts and capital city have lots to do. There are restaurants, terraces, recreational areas, trendy establishments, cinemas, shows… Lots of ways to also experience the island’s exciting nightlife.

In summer, it’s easy to find a lively local festival in the island’s towns, both on the coast and inland. Although if you’re looking for something quieter, in Gran Canaria, which is a Starlight Tourist Destination, there are astrotourism activities and you can go on a stargazing excursion with a specialist guide.

Don’t leave without trying…

Flor de Guía cheese is a delicacy that is only made in three towns in the north of Gran Canaria. What’s peculiar about it is that it is made from vegetal rennet, which is obtained from the flowers of certain types of thistles. It is one of the Canary Islands cheeses with a protected designation of origin.

Gran Canaria Tourist Information & Travel Guide

Gran Canaria is one of the Spanish Canary Islands lying just 210 km off the coast of Africa and 1250 km away from mainland Spain. The volcanic terrain of the island isn’t particularly attractive yet the mild year round climate and excellent infrastructure has enabled a large scale tourism industry to thrive. The island’s most popular resorts are located along the south coast where there’s an enormous amount of accommodation built into the mountainsides with access to a number of golden, sandy beaches which use imported sand.

When to Visit Gran Canaria

The climate in Gran Canaria is what makes it one of Europe’s great all year round holiday destinations. Summer temperatures will generally be in the high 20’s but the sea breeze stops it being too oppresive and these months are very dry with little or no rainfall.

Its winters are very mild with temperatures seldom falling below 15ºC although you will find that from around November until April or May you’ll need some warm clothes for wearing in the evenings. The winter months are the wettest but bear in mind that it is all relative and in fact there are very few days of rainfall at any time of the year.

Map of Gran Canaria

Distances: To give you some idea of distances please note that from the airport on the east coast to the popular resort of Playa del Ingles is only 30km.

Gran Canaria Airport

Gran Canaria Airport lies on the east coast of the island of Gran Canaria some 25km from the main tourist resorts in the south of the island and 18km from the island’s capital of Las Palmas. It is often referred to as Las Palmas Airport and is the busiest of all the airports in the Canary Islands with over 10 million annual passengers.

With year round sun there are plenty budget airlines from northern Europe offering all year round flights to Gran Canaria as well as domestic flights operated by Spanish carriers. It is a modern airport with excellent facilities including ready access to numerous modes of transport to the capital and to the island’s main resorts.

Beware of Tour Operator Transfers

When you book a holiday package to Gran Canaria with one of the big tour companies they may well include airport transfers to your resort. This gives you the peace of mind that there’s a coach and travel representative waiting for you as you walk outside the airport which is a good feeling on arrival. The downside is that your resort might be one of the last stops. This was our experience last time we visited Gran Canaria as we were on a week’s package staying at Cordial Mogan Valle Apartments in Puerto Mogan. The 60km journey takes no more than 45 minutes by car but on the tour bus it took over 1½ hours because it made several stops first at a number of hotels in and around Puerto Rico. The return transfer was even worse as we were the first group to be collected at 8.30am and didn’t get to the airport until 11am as we sat waiting for passengers at far too many hotels en route to the airport. For future reference we’ll be either hiring a car at the airport or pre-booking a transfer to our resort.

Costa Rica Airport Transfers

Private Transfers: If you’re keen to just get to your destination and aren’t particularly interested in taking a look around the island then your best option is to pre-book an airport transfer with a specialist transfer company. Rates tend to be a little cheaper than taxis and payment is made in advance.

Bus Transfers: Bus transport from the airport and all around the island is provided by Global. The two main services used by arrivals at the airport are as follows:

• Route 60: Airport – Las Palmas City
• Route 66: Airport – Faro de Maspalomas

For a full list of routes, times and fares check the Global Bus Website.

Taxi Services: Of course there are many taxis waiting at the official rank outside the arrivals area. Fares vary slightly according to pick-up time and precise location of your accommodation but to the main resorts you can expect to pay approximately:

• Puerto de Mogan – €90
• Puerto Rico – €70
• Playa del Ingles – €45

Airport Car Hire: Driving down to the resorts of the south coast is very straightforward and doing so gives you the flexibility of having your own transport during your stay and a ready made transfer back to the airport on the day you’re leaving. So if you plan to take a look around the island whilst you’re in Gran Canaria then it’s well worth looking into car hire from Las Palmas Airport.

Where to Stay in Gran Canaria

It is estimated that approximately 30% of all visitors to the Canary Islands find their way to the tourist resorts on the south coast of Gran Canaria. Sandy beaches run along this stretch of coastline with the best-known being the most well known being the dunes at Maspalomas which are part of the Gran Canaria Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which covers 43% of the land area of the central and south-western part of Gran Canaria.

Playa del Inglés

This is Europe’s 2nd largest holiday resort after Benidorm and certainly the best known destination in Gran Canaria.

Puerto Rico

Continuing west we arrive at Puerto Rico which is Gran Canaria’s 2nd largest resort. With a good selection of accommodation, large beaches and easy access to the Angry Birds Activity Park it is a popular choice for family holidays.

Meloneras

Standing between Playa de Inglés and Puerto Rico is Meloneras which is home to some lovely accommodation and is considered the region’s upmarket resort

Puerto Mogan

Heading still further west we come to the laid back town of Puerto Mogan which is a far cry from the island’s major resorts . Its old town is Pueblo Mogan lies 5km inland and is well worth a visit.

A personal favourite of mine for winter holidays is the charming resort of Puerto Mogan where a week in the sun proves to be a great way to recharge the batteries after enduring the northern European winter.

Accommodation in Gran Canaria

Whilst package holiday hotels remain the main accommodation of choice for visitors to Gran Canaria there are plenty self-catering villas and apartments available in the islands main resorts as well as in quieter inland destinations.

Gran Canaria Excursions

Holidaymakers who are interested in seeing more of the island than their resort should rent a car at the airport and set aside some time for some half-day and full-day excursions around Gran Canaria.

Visit the Interior

The centre of the island has an alpine climate and stunning peaks of up to 6400 feet with fabulous picnic and viewing points from where Mount Teide in Tenerife is often visible on a clear day. Scattered around the mountains are small villages where local crafts are sold on street market stalls and restaurants offering all sorts of mouthwatering delights made from fish caught in the lakes and fruit and vegetables grown locally.

Visit the North Coast

The north and north western coast is very green with a series of mountainous cliffs breaking up only for small villages such as Arucas, well known for its honey rum factory, which is well worth a visit. On a more “sober” note, the neighbouring village of Firgas provides Gran Canaria and the other Canary Islands with their bottled water supplies. A little further along the coastline is the historic town of Galdar with its pre-historic painted caves, open for viewing to the public. In the far north west is the port of Agaete, famous for its fish restaurants and harbour from where you can catch the fast ferry over to Tenerife in only 50 minutes.

Visit the Capital

The city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is home to more than 380,000 people which represents half the population of Gran Canaria. It’s a busy cosmopolitan port, the seventh largest city in Spain, and the governing capital for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

Las Palmas has several shopping areas such as Triana for boutiques and smaller shops, and Avenida Mesa y Lopez where you can lose yourself within some of the island’s and the UK’s leading department stores. There are numerous street cafes where you can relax with a drink and sample a varied selection of tapas dishes. For the sun worshippers there are four main beach areas, the largest being Las Canteras with its long sweeping promenade.

Gran Canaria Hotel, Tourism and Holiday Destination Travel Guide

Gran Canaria is certainly one of the last remaining European paradise isles located in the Atlantic Ocean, 130 miles from the African coast. It’s the third largest of the Canary Islands and has Fuerteventura and Tenerife as its neighbours. Las Palmas, located in the northeast part of the island, is its capital.

Gran Canaria is an island of contrasts. As the most dynamic capital city in the Canaries, it has a great mix of people and keeps local traditions alive, but always catering for the holidaymaker. Crammed with culture, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches with a sunny climate, Gran Canaria is a great destination all year round. So whenever you want to escape for a break, the delights of Canary Islands are waiting for you! And it’s all just a mouse-click away. .. virtually!

From the cooler north to the sunnier south, this perfect holiday island has everything the most discerning traveller could wish for: the great diversity of climate, lush forests, exotic flora and fauna, volcanic craters, the odd flurry of snow on the highest peaks – all this has led to this island being dubbed “The Miniature Continent”. Where else can you find acres of sand dunes against a backdrop of verdant mountains within easy reach of some of the best hotels, apartments, resorts, clubs, bars and cafés in Europe?

The beautiful island of Gran Canaria has a lot to offer the tourist and a wealth of places to visit. From the north to the south, east to west, it’s all here for you to discover. Whether you are with your loved one, in a group of friends or on a family holiday, you are sure to find what you’re looking for to make your holiday experience memorable and exciting, not to mention relaxing.

The south is the most popular part of the island, containing such delights as Puerto Mogán (a picturesque village also known as Little Venice), Puerto Rico, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustín and the famous Playa del Inglés. But with such spectacular views and landscapes, make sure you don’t miss the rugged north and west coasts, as well as the island’s interior.

Meloneras really has the Wow factor. The whole area has been renovated with such style and sophistication, that it became a very classy place. You can walk along the promenade, shop until you drop in high-end designer stores like Lacoste and Ralph Lauren before sampling cuisine from a whole host of restaurants, including Italian, traditional Spanish tapas, sushi and seafood.

Dip a toe in the warm waters at Playa del Inglés and top up your tan on the beach there. It’s full of great places to eat and drink, giving you a perfect place to rest and recharge your batteries. By night, Playa del Inglés really comes alive. If you like music and dancing, this is the place to go!

The sand dunes of Maspalomas are a sight to behold, stretching out along the south coast and looking like giant waves of sand covering around 4 square kilometres.

Picturesque Puerto de Mogán is a very popular destination and it’s easy to understand why – with its canal-like channels and quaint bridges, it is also known as Little Venice.

And of course the vibrant capital, Las Palmas is crammed with culture and history. This is a truly cosmopolitan city located on the northeastern part of the island with so much to do and see – museums, art collections, fantastic architecture, beautiful parks, great shops, cafés and also the famous Las Canteras Beach, perfect for a cooling dip or as a spot of sunbathing.

Las Palmas mit guten Tourismusdaten

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria verzeichnet bezüglich der Tourismusdaten einen guten Start in den Sommer …

Im Juli 2022 verzeichnete die Stadt mehr als 106. 000 Übernachtungen in Hotels und Wohnungen und empfing 33.600 Touristen, mehr als 66 Prozent aus dem nationalen Markt.

Die Zahlen für die Beherbergung und die Übernachtungen in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in den ersten sieben Monaten des Jahres (Januar bis Juli 2022) bestätigen die Erholung des Sektors in der Stadt. Die kumulierten Zahlen für das Jahr bestätigen einen Wachstumstrend, der an jeden Monat und jede Jahreszeit angepasst ist, eine Situation, die der von 2019, einem Jahr vor der Pandemie, sehr ähnlich ist.

Das Intelligenzsystem für nachhaltigen Tourismus von Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, das sich auf Daten des ISTAC stützt, zeigt Zahlen, die zu Optimismus einladen, auch in der Sommersaison, der traditionellen touristischen Nebensaison.

Germany European Parliament – UP Foundation

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) (Christlich Demokratische Union, CDU) – one of the three “people’s parties” in Germany – was founded in 1945. In the same year, its Bavarian partner, the Christian Social Union (CSU) (Christlich Soziale Union, CSU), was created. The two parties have divided spheres of influence: the CSU deals exclusively with Bavaria and does not compete with the CDU in other federal states. Acting as a single bloc, both unions are nevertheless independent and organizationally completely independent.
Initially, the CDU/CSU bloc proclaimed itself a “Christian people’s party”, and then announced its transformation into a supra-confessional and inter-confessional party. The CDU/CSU became a bloc of moderate conservative parties. Their programs have been repeatedly transformed. The main program principles are the observance of the ethical foundations of Christianity in politics, the idea of ​​a “social market economy”, the solid integration of the FRG into Western structures and adherence to the Western system of values.
A large role in the CDU / CSU is assigned to the strengthening of transatlantic relations. Particular attention in the foreign policy concept is given to the fact that Germany should play a leading role in the process of European unification, while maintaining its identity.
In January 2018, the CDU had 425,910 members, the CSU 141,000. The CDU has 200 seats in the Bundestag and the CSU 46.
In October 2018, Merkel announced that she would step down as CDU leader in December 2018, but plans to remain Chancellor until 2021. On December 7, 2018, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer was elected as the new leader of the CDU in the election for the leadership of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany.
Chairman of the CSU – Horst Seehofer, General Secretary Markus Blume.

In 1979, the Green Party was founded in Germany. On November 24, 1989, Union 90 was founded in the GDR as a result of the unification of three non-communist political groups. The ideological future of the Green Party remained uncertain for a long time. Having arisen as a reaction to the defeat of the New Left movement, the Greens initially existed as an “anti-party”, rejecting bourgeois politics with its authoritarian hierarchy and uniting new social movements, most of which acquired in 1970s environmental focus (in particular, the fight against nuclear energy and environmental pollution). The Green Party included diverse groups: left-wing radicals and anarchists, post-Marxists, left-wing liberals, Christian pacifists, but also representatives of the right-wing political spectrum. In 1982, the conservative wing of the party broke away to form the Ecological Democratic Party. Those who remained in the Green Party generally supported a center-left economic course, with a significant emphasis on the fight against environmentally hazardous projects (nuclear power plants, Frankfurt Airport), pacifism (providing for the requirement to leave NATO), internationalism, the abolition of restrictions on immigration, libertarian pedagogy, the legalization of marijuana, the right to abortion and same-sex marriage. The party has gained a protest reputation through participation in civil disobedience and frequent clashes with the police. At 1998-2005 the party was the junior partner of the Social Democrats in the German coalition government. Joschka Fischer received the posts of Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs. By this time, the Green Party had finally departed from its original fundamental principles of an anti-capitalist and pacifist nature, having begun to actively support, respectively, the neoliberal “Third Way” and the NATO wars in Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. In the 2004 European Parliament elections, the list of German “greens” was headed by a former radical of the student revolution 1968 years in France Daniel Cohn-Bendit, expelled from the ranks of the French Greens for opportunism and non-payment of membership dues. Since 2005, the party has been in opposition again. In the elections to the Bundestag in 2013, the party received 63 mandates, in the elections to the European Parliament in 2014 – 11 mandates. The party leaders are Robert Habeck (born in 1969) and Annalena Baerbock (born in 1980).

The party traditionally derives its political genealogy from the All-German Workers’ Union founded in 1863 by Ferdinand Lassalle and the Social Democratic Labor Party of Wilhelm Liebknecht and August Bebel (1869). One of the two largest political forces in modern Germany. In October 1998, the SPD, headed by Gerhard Schröder, under the slogans of reducing unemployment, modernizing the economy, supporting entrepreneurship and preserving the social security system, won the parliamentary elections for the first time since 1982, gaining 40.9% of the vote. A coalition government was formed with the participation of the Green Party. In March 1999, due to disagreement with the government’s course, Oscar La Fontaine, who was elected in November 19, resigned from state and party posts.95, chairman of the SPD and joined the Schröder government as Minister of Economics and Finance. The party was led by Schroeder himself. In 2004, a large number of left-wing party members left the SPD, including O. La Fontaine. In 2007, together with the former communists of the GDR, they created the Left Party. In 2004, Schröder resigned as head of the SPD and was succeeded by Franz Müntefering. The elections to the European Parliament in 2004 brought disastrously low results for the SPD, the lowest since the Second World War (21. 5% of the vote). On September 22, 2013, in the elections to the Bundestag, the SPD won 25.7% of the vote, improving its result four years ago by 2.7%. After the elections, preliminary, and then the main negotiations on the creation of a “grand coalition” between the CDU / CSU and the SPD took place. The coalition agreement, prior to its signing, was submitted to an intra-party referendum, in which each member of the SPD could vote in support or against the coalition agreement with the Christian Democrats. In the coalition government, Sigmar Gabriel took the post of Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economy and Energy, Frank-Walter Steinmeier became Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the 2014 European Parliament elections, the SPD received 27.3% of the vote and 27 seats. The party is a member of the Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists. Party leaders – Malu Dryer (19born 61), Manuela Schwesig (born 1974) and Torsten Schäfer-Gumbel (born 1969).

Conservative and Eurosceptic party in Germany. Founded February 6, 2013. In September 2012, the political group “Alternative Choice 2013” was founded within the ranks of the CDU with the aim of countering the German government’s policy towards the eurozone crisis. The group has criticized the eurozone as an area unsuitable for a Monetary Union. The group also said that the Eurogroup governance crisis is lowering the incomes of ordinary people in the south of the eurozone and undermining the basic principles of democratic governance. The group decided in February 2013 to found a new party to run in the 2013 federal election. The main goal of the Eurosceptic party is to change the policy of saving the euro and strictly implement the Maastricht criteria, primarily the revision of the German policy of guarantees for debt obligations in connection with the rescue of the financial systems of some lagging countries of the Eurozone, provided for by the European stabilization mechanism. As an extreme measure of influence, the introduction of the national German currency is advertised: the German mark. The AfD exploits the dissatisfaction with the European Union that exists both in Germany and in other EU countries. Unlike other protest movements, the AfD positions itself as “the brainchild of Germany’s intellectual elite.” The party leadership unites leading German economists, lawyers, businessmen and publicists. In the 2013 elections, the party failed to get its deputies into the Bundestag. In 2014, two AfD deputies were elected to the European Parliament. According to sociologists, at the turn of 2015-2016, the party’s ratings began to grow rapidly against the backdrop of general dissatisfaction with the authorities’ migration policy. The party congress on May 2, 2016 adopted an anti-Islamic program and directed party members to fight against the Islamization of Germany. Today it is the most dynamically growing German political party. Party leaders – Jörg Meuten (1961 years of birth) and Alexander Gauland (1941).

In general, as noted in the “Theses”, the party is focused on the overthrow of private property and power relations, in which, referring to the well-known aphorism of Karl Marx, “man is a humiliated, enslaved, helpless, despicable creature.” With regard to foreign policy, the “Left” welcomes the process of European integration, opposes all forms of the rise of militarism and for the strengthening of the role of the United Nations in international politics. The party advocates the democratization of EU institutions and the rejection of the market and neo-liberal-oriented policies of the European Union.

The FDP formed the government – already in coalition with the CDU / CSU.

International chestnut bouts, October 12, Ashton

A large chestnut is taken, a hole is drilled through which a cord about 25 cm long is threaded, a knot is tied at each end of the cord. To make the chestnut stronger, the competitors go to a variety of tricks, for example, cover it with varnish and even dry it in the oven. After the props are ready, you can join the duel. The goal is to split the “shell” of the enemy with your chestnut. Each participant has five minutes for each attempt. If during this time not a single chestnut is split, the players are assigned extra time. This year the championship will be attended by representatives of 20 countries. In order to become a participant in the competition, you need to fill out the registration form on the website and pay an entry fee of 10 pounds. Entry fee for spectators is £4.
