Spain Holidays 10

When people visit the beautiful Canary Islands, they often forget La Palma, the greenest of the Canaries and also the most underrated. La Palma is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, which will clearly suggest to you what you can expect there: unspoiled nature, lush rainforest canopies, volcanic craters. You get the picture. There are no comparable golden beaches in La Palma like many of the other Canary Islands, but if you love adventure and breathtaking natural, unspoiled landscapes, then you won't regret visiting La Palma.


If you enjoy walking tours, there are many lovely marked trails that criss-cross the island. You can start at the sleepy hamlet of Las Tricias and walk through fields, gardens and orchards to old grain windmills and visit caves of ancient cave dwellers. Or you could walk to the waterfalls of Marcos y Cordero, which provide much of the island's water. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, take the seven-hour long volcano route beginning at Refugio El Pilar, past seven volcanoes down to Los Canarios in the south. There are individual tours or group tours you could join, to explore on your own or with a guide. There is always the option to watch spectacular sunsets anywhere on the island's western coast.


La Palma is also home to picturesque towns and villages waiting for you to discover. Enjoy the quiet of Puntagorda with its steep coastal cliffs, old churchyard and quiet farms. It's considered one of the most beautiful parts of the islands. Also enjoy the Mercadillo de Puntagorda market every weekend. For more bustle, visit the busy town of Santa Cruz with its cafes and shops and cobbled shopping streets. Or you could enjoy magnificent views over the island, the erosion crater of Calderdade Taburiente and other (granturalcanarias.com/en/) from the highest point of La Palma, Roques de los Muchachos.


And while you're at La Palma, don't forget to try the local potato specialty papas arudagas with spicy mojo sauce, spicy orange spreading sausages and delicious local bananas that the Palmeroos love, washed down with the local firewater called Aguardiente.

If you need a destination to rest, the island of Palma offers a unique environment, with a good temperature, accurate scenery and good food.
Book your holiday to this destination in the Canary Islands and sure you will not regret it.

If you are planning a trip in the great city of Barcelona with your family, your friends or just for yourself, you might be looking for a place to stay. In this city, the options are countless: hotels, apartments, campsites... But maybe, the best one and one that is increasing the most its popularity among tourists is renting an apartment.


Renting Apartments in Barcelona has many advantages. These advantages are not only privacy, peace and self-service, but also lower prices than some hotels, more availability even in high season (from May to September) when most hotels are full, and the fact that you can find them in almost every interesting area in the city, since it is quite difficult to find a hotel room by the beach in summer, for example.

When it comes to choose the right apartment we must keep some things in mind. Barcelona apartments are very varied and placed in many different areas, so the first thing we must do is try to choose what the perfect place is for each one of us. For example, if you want to be in the core of the Catalan capital and the city noise does not bother you, you may want to stay in an apartment placed in the Barri Gotic or in Las Ramblas. Or maybe, you come to the city in the summer, so you prefer an apartment by the beach, as we have said, the options are almost unlimited.


However, wherever your apartment is, you will be sure that you have found one that is suitable for your needs. That means, if you stay in a hotel, you will try to find one with available rooms, maybe cheep and sometimes the cheaper ones and with a wider availability are in the suburbs or in less interesting areas. Therefore, choosing an apartment means that you will be right in the place you want to be, be it the core of the city, with its bustling streets, near the beach, or in quiet, beautiful neighbourhoods, the choice is all yours.
