Tenerife is one of the most visited islands where tourists flock in anticipation of a wonderful vacation. The island attracts visitors year-round with its clear blue skies, comfortable temperatures, and sunny beaches. There are many beaches in Tenerife, and everyone can choose according to their taste. I have prepared a selection of my favorite beaches for you.
Which part of Tenerife is suitable for a beach holiday? It's definitely the southern part because the north has limited beach options. There are beaches with big waves and dangerous currents in the north. And besides, the water temperature is 1-2 degrees colder.
I sent Lena to Madrid to learn Spanish. I'll tell you how it went, how to organize it, and how much it costs. I ordered a 2-week course online with accommodation in a host family, including 3 meals per day.
I'll tell you how I learn Spanish. I study very lazily, and it's clearly not enough. But mainly I use Duolingo and Busuu apps. With these apps, you won't learn Spanish completely, but you will significantly expand your vocabulary and improve your learning discipline.
Do you think Spain only has sea and sun? Let me suggest a few places where you can snowboard and ski in winter. Besides, it's much cheaper than in France, Austria, or Switzerland. Check out my selection of winter resorts.

Opening a bank account in Spain for foreign citizens may seem like a challenging task. In fact, the process is not that complicated if you follow several important steps. Here is a detailed guide on how to open an account in a Spanish bank for non-residents and foreigners.
We decided to rent a car in Fuerteventura because driving there in our own car would be too far. Taking two ferries one way would take a whole day, so instead we flew for 40 minutes and rented a car at the airport for three days. I checked different rental companies and chose Pluscar because it's a cheap rental company.
