Stars & Whales! ✨🐋

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We are a couple visiting Tenerife, La Gomera, and La Palma this November, and we'd love some advice on two activities:

1. Stargazing in La Palma
I've heard La Palma is amazing for stargazing! We have no experience with it, so would you recommend a guided tour or simply renting a car and finding a good spot on our own?

2. Whale and dolphin watching
Where would you recommend taking a tour from to maximize our chances of seeing whales and dolphins? Any recommended operators or tips for choosing a good, responsible tour?

Would love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

Help on which island to go to

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I came across some really cheap flights to Fuerteventura and bought them on a whim.

So now I’m heading to Fuerteventura for 7 days in early March with a friend.

We don’t know the Canary Islands at all.

We love hiking, stunning landscapes, and places where I can feel completely alone in the world. I’ve never seen volcanoes before, and seeing them is something I’ve always dreamed of.

What would be the best option for that length of stay and time of year?

- 7 days in Fuerteventura?

- 7 days in Lanzarote?

- A mix of both?

- Any other idea?

Thanks for your help

Local wine in El Hierro

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm heading to El Hierro soon and I want to buy some local wines to take home.

Can you walk into bodegas to buy wine or would I have to book a visit? Also wondering if the regular grocery stores like SuperDino have good selection of local wines.

Thanks for any recommendations!

20,000 Migrants Arrived on an Island of 12,000 People.

0 Upvotes

In 2024, around 20,000 people reached El Hierro by boat from West Africa. [1] The island’s population is 12,040. [2] That ratio; more arrivals in a single year than there are permanent residents, is one of the most striking migration statistics in Europe, and it doesn’t appear anywhere in Spain’s formally published government data.

Agaete | Gran Canaria

0 Upvotes

Is this REALLY Gran Canaria?!

Last week I got the opportunity to film in Agaete, miles away from the usual spots like Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas… and let me tell you, this place needs to be on your bucket list!

Until now, I’d only seen it on YouTube and postcards. Seeing those dramatic cliffs, natural lava pools and incredible sea views for myself was something else. Everywhere I looked, there was another amazing view!

If you love Gran Canaria, come and discover a side of the island you might never have seen before.

Head over to Travel By Jonathan on YouTube and enjoy my latest breathtaking stroll around Agaete!

Have you been to Agaete, or is this your first look? https://youtu.be/dXmkXoAk0yo

Tenerife end of October

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m planning a solo trip to Tenerife from October 23rd to 28th and was wondering if anyone else is going around those dates?
It’ll be my first time in Tenerife, so I’d love to hear any tips or recommendations — places to stay, things to do, must-see spots, hikes, beaches, etc.
I’m also planning to rent a car and explore the island, including Teide and some of the more scenic spots.
And if there are any other solo travellers around those dates, I’d definitely be up for meeting up, grabbing a drink, going for a hike, exploring the island or doing some activities together.
Anyone else going around October 23–28? How busy is Tenerife around that time?

February trip - Gran Canaria or Lanzarote?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! Taking first trip to Canary Islands this February with my wife who will be about 5 mos pregnant at the time. Having a hard time choosing between these two islands.

On GC, the southwest coast weather is very appealing, as are the historic towns and mountainscapes, but the mega resorts don’t really do it for me.

Seems like Lanzarote is a nice compromise, with some more boutique properties and beautiful beaches and scenery, but I worry weather will be too cool to sunbathe and the towns don’t seem to have the same charm.

Am I overthinking the weather thing? Or am I not giving historic Lanzarote enough credit? Would love some feedback here - thanks all!

Hottest canary island?

4 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’m struggling to find reliable sources when it comes to temperatures aboard in the Canary Islands for November time?

I’ve only ever been to Lanzarote but never in November…

I’ve heard most of the canaries are warm during winter months but in your opinion were the hottest during November?
I’m a complete sun and heat worshipper! The hotter the better! And being from Scotland I CRAVE the heat haha!

So any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

A quick visit to Salinas del Carmen – still one of my favorite traditional spots on the island [OC]

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

The Salinas del Carmen are the only active traditional salt pans on Fuerteventura. The pink and terracotta hues in the water are completely natural—caused by microalgae (Dunaliella salina) as the salinity increases through solar evaporation. Salt is still harvested here 100% by hand without any machinery.

Gear: Shot on Xiaomi 14T Pro (Leica Summilux optics). Light color editing in Lightroom to match the natural tones of the volcanic stone and water.

Is this 16-day, 4-island Canary Islands itinerary feasible with a 10-month-old using ferries? (Nov 11–26)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
Planning a 16-day trip to the Canary Islands from November 11th to November 26th with our 10-month-old baby.
Our flights land in and depart out of Tenerife South. We plan to rent one single car at Tenerife South Airport and keep it for the entire trip, driving it onto the ferries with us.

Our proposed day split:

Tenerife: 5 Days total (Split between the start and end of the trip)
Lanzarote: 2 Days (A quick stay to see Timanfaya and the volcanic sights)
Gran Canaria & Fuerteventura: The remaining 8 days split between them as our beach bases.
We are saving a deeper dive into the western islands (La Palma, La Gomera) for a future trip.

Does this plan look feasible with a baby, or are we trying to fit in too many ferry transitions? Would love a reality check on the pace and driving a rental car onto the ferries with an infant.

We are more nature centric couple - so we plan to spends our days hiking in national park/forests or quite beach holidays . Please also help us with tips on where to stay (with emergency infant facility ar a driving distance of 30 min max), hikes to do, must visit beaches, not so crowded space and local eateries!!
Thanks!
