Carnival in Tenerife 2025
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.
Playa de Almáciga
Playa de Almáciga – my favorite in Anaga park. It's a beach with character and a distinctive wild nature. Be very careful with it. It'll greet you with relaxed and serene hippies in vans, running surfers, and tanned Canarian youth sunbathing. The beach has pleasant warm black sand. But I wouldn't recommend swimming beyond waist-deep, especially if there are waves, as there can be riptides. After sunbathing, let's go to the next beach to watch the sunset.
Pico del Inglés Viewpoint
This observation deck is considered by many tourists to be the best in the Anaga Rural Park.
Beautiful trail to the lighthouse along Anaga
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.
Beniho Beach
The most sensual beach on the island is Playa de Benijo. Time your visit during low tide, otherwise you won't see the beach. It's a nudist and free-spirited people's beach. Feel at one with nature. Make sure to visit a few hours before sunset as the sun disappears behind the mountains earlier. Your photos will be mind-blowing!
The route to Antequera Beach in Anaga
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.
Lookout Point La Cruz del Carmen
One of the best viewpoints overlooking the La Laguna valley and the starting point for exploring the Anaga Rural Park.
Beaches of Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is often called a beach paradise. It enjoys a pleasant temperature of around 23-25°C all year round, and the sky is rarely cloudy. Among the Canary Islands, it has no rivals when it comes to the number of well-equipped beaches.
Painted Cave Archaeological Park and Museum
The most famous, vibrant, and unique attraction on the island of Gran Canaria is the archaeological park in Gáldar: a museum and "painted cave" called Cueva Pintada.
Gran Canaria Airport
Another international airport in the Canary Islands is located on the eastern side of Gran Canaria island. The airport has one terminal that handles both domestic and international flights.
Cathedral of the Canary Islands
The Cathedral of Santa Ana is the most significant architectural monument of Gran Canaria. It is located in the island's capital, in the historic district of Vegueta.
Crocodile Park
Located 25 km from the Maspalomas resort, you can visit the Crocodile Park, which is home not only to the toothy predators but also pythons, parrots, monkeys, Siberian tigers, and other animals. The park hosts various shows, and you have the opportunity to personally feed raw meat to the resident caimans and alligators. Additionally, Cocodrilo Park is notable for its picturesque landscapes and impressive variety of vegetation.
Maspalomas National Park
Famous Maspalomas Dunes are both a nature reserve and a luxurious sandy beach. We'll venture into a real mini desert, dying of thirst while conquering the dunes, and at the end emerge to the cool ocean and enjoy the golden sandy beach.
Caldera de Bandama
Caldera de Bandama is the crater of an ancient volcano. It's the largest on the island of Gran Canaria. You can descend into the crater, with several hiking trails available. During a walk, you can see caves (former grain stores), wine presses for the grapes grown right in the crater, and a few old, partially ruined houses.
