Lanzarote – Video
We compiled a video out of our pictures from our Lanzarote trips. Enjoy the Lanzarote video!
Wine-growing on Lanzarote – La Geria
There are vineyards on Lanzarote? It might be hard to imagine, but there are wine-growing areas even on Lanzarote. Driving through this area by car is well worth a go.
Mirador del Rio
After we only paid Mirador del Rio a short visit during our last stay, we came back and this time also visited the old fortress.
Arrecife – visiting the capital of Lanzarote
Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote. The majority of visitors do not take the time to get to know the biggest town on the island even though it is the most important centre of trade and administration and plays a huge role in the life of the island.

Playa Blanca – along the promenade
Playa Blanca is on the south coast of Lanzarote. In this aridest region of the island it’s sunny almost every day of the year and so the little fishing village Playa Blanca developed into a hot spot for tourism.
Hotel SBH Royal Monica in Playa Blanca – Lanzarote
We like Lanzarote at every season. This time, we chose March to flee the cold in Germany and instead enjoy 24 degrees Celsius, sunshine and the Hotel SBH Roxal Monica in Playa Blanca.

Parque Nacional de Timanfaya – the fiery mountains of Lanzarote
What a sight! A sea of black lava, mountains with crumbling peaks, ragged magma boulders and sandy plains as far as the eye can see. We are in the Timanfaya National Park and are about to discover the fiery mountains of Lanzarote.

Puerto Calero – a trip to the port
Our hotel was in the small town of Puerto Calero, west of Puerto de la Carmen. A trip to the port was a welcomed change from laying at the pool.
Mirador del Rio and Castillo Santa Bárbara – on tour with a rental car
A rental car is definitely worth the money on a trip to Lanzarote. It gives you the flexibility to explore places in your own time and seek out spots that are less busy.

Los Hervideros und El Golfo
Continuing down the road from the Salinas de Janubio on Lanzarote, one reaches the cliffs of Los Hervideros and finally the little fishing village El Golfo.
Salinas de Janubio
A little ways from the fishing village El Golfo, on the south coast of Lanzarote, is the salt mine Salinas de Janubio.
Jameos des Agua
The Jameos des Agua are in the lava field of the Volcan de la Corona. They are part of an accessible system of lava tunnels on Lanzarote.
Hotel Costa Calero – Lanzarote
The Hotel Costa Calero is close to the Puerto Calero marina, west of Puerto del Carmen. The neighbouring islands Lobos and Fuerteventura are visible from here.
La Seu – the Cathedral of Palma
Our cruise with the AIDAperla began and ended at the port of Palma on Majorca. We took the time on our departure day to get the shuttle into the city to visit the Cathedral of Palma.
Cuevas del Drach
An absolute magnet for tourists on Majorca is the Cuevas del Drach, the dragon cave. It is located in Porto Cristo and we liked it a lot.
Palma – a short visit
Majorca is too pretty to only go there for a simple beach holiday. We took a hire car and ventured to Palma to get to see a little more of the island.
A walk through Cala Ratjada
The town Cala Ratjada on Majorca has only about 6200 inhabitants. But during the main season this number skyrockets. It feels like there are tourists everywhere.
Majorca: Hotel Bella Playa & SPA in Cala Ratjada
A package holiday to Majorca brought us to Cala Ratjada where we stayed at the Hotel Bella Playa & SPA. We passed on our requirements for the holiday to our tried and tested travel agency and they found something that sounded like it could match what we were looking for.

Teide National Park
Every morning from our breakfast table at the hotel we had a magnificent view of the Pico del Teide.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife – a flying visit
Santa Cruz de Tenerife was only one of many places along the road from the southern part of the island back to the north for us. Until we decided to stop off and inhale some city aroma.

A trip to La Orotava on a rainy day
La Orotava is located in the Orotava valley in the North of the island of Tenerife. On a rainy day, we took our hire car to Orotava.
Parque Taoro in Puerto de la Cruz
One of the most beautiful gardens of Tenerife, the Parque Taoro, is located in Puerto de la Cruz. Take the time to stroll through the garden.
Do we, or don’t we? Drive to the Faro de Teno Lighthouse
That is the big question. The Faro de Teno Lighthouse lets some visitors feel the sting of remorse. That is because actually, driving through to the lighthouse is not permitted.

Jardín Botánico de la Orotava
Especially on very hot days, a trip to the Jardín Botánico de la Orotava is highly recommended. In the shadow under the trees, visitors can find some clam in the city.
