I have been living in Spain for several years and know firsthand all the intricacies of renting housing in this country. I will share with you my experience and life hacks on how to rent an apartment in Spain quickly and hassle-free.
I will tell you about apartment rental agreements in Spain. Can the landlord raise the rent whenever they want? And in general, how does it all work? Let's break it down step by step.
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.
I'll tell you where you can travel from Tenerife if you're on vacation and want to explore other islands.
This is not our first time visiting the island, so I will share some less touristy spots. For example, a wild beach, a short trek, and I'll tell you about a good hotel with a beach. Plan to spend 3-5 days on the island.
Over my 5 years of living here, I've come to appreciate the local culture and lifestyle. Here's my personal top reasons why I like Spain, why we live here, and why we're raising our daughter here.
Finally got the Canarian 75% discount on flights and ferries from the Canary Islands. Let me tell you the conditions and what the discount applies to.
I'm sharing the best places to rent a car in Barcelona. I've gathered several services for comparing car rental prices and a large list of rental companies. Check the prices with at least a few of them before booking.
I rarely wash my car in Tenerife, about once every few months. There's just no need, it's already clean. As everywhere else, we have several types of car washes: self-service washes (€1 for 1-2 minutes), automatic washes (€4-8), hand washes (€20-40), and dry washes.
The main festival in Tenerife - the carnival - takes place in February. I have prepared a detailed manual with a schedule of events for you. Something interesting happens every day, but there are specific days when the carnival itself takes place. I wrote about this below.
We were sitting and thinking about which route to take through Anaga Park this time. There are dozens of them there. We decided to drive to the most romantic Benijo beach and walk along 2 routes and also explore some unofficial trails.
A hike through the atypical and less crowded part of Anaga Park in the north of Tenerife. In the middle of the hike, we'll take a dip at a secluded beach. In the mountains, we'll spot some goats and walk among the clouds.
Here's the translation into American English:
I'm sharing my favorite all-day volcano trail. The track goes through the Chinyero crater, then across a lava river, we climb up Montaña Negra, and reach the picnic area. On the way back, we had an unpleasant adventure, but I'll tell you all about it in order.
I'll tell you how we went to Loro Park on the island of Tenerife, watched the killer whale, sea lion, and parrot shows, walked along the bottom of the "ocean" next to sharks, and went to the "South Pole" to see the king penguins. I'll also tell you about the best black sand beach in Tenerife.
