Flamenco in Seville’s back streets, the Alhambra glowing above Granada and volcanic landscapes in the Canaries. Spain runs from Moorish palaces to Atlantic islands, with dinners that start when the rest of Europe goes to bed.
A vegetarian meal in Málaga can mean couscous at Cañadú on Plaza de la Merced, egg-free Spanish tapas at La Vegana or a substantial burger at Meet Vegano in Soho. Choose by the kind of meal you want, not the restaurant’s name alone: this selection includes entirely plant-based kitchens and mixed menus with vegetarian choices. […]
For a shared meal in central Málaga, choose the dish and setting first. La Tranca suits empanadas and vermouth while standing at the bar, Cortijo de Pepe builds a more substantial meal around its charcoal grill, and El Tapeo de Cervantes offers creative tapas in a small seated dining room. These are alternatives for one […]
Málaga’s tapas include chilled almond soup, fresh anchovies, meatballs in almond sauce and fried aubergines with cane syrup. Choose small plates for a counter stop or larger portions to share. The dishes below give you a regional shortlist, followed by old-town bars chosen for a particular dish or style of service. In this guide Ordering […]
Seville’s museums offer quite different ways into the city’s culture: religious painting, Roman mosaic floors, tile-making, contemporary exhibitions and flamenco dance. If you choose just one, make it the Museum of Fine Arts for Sevillian painting. The other four reward a more specific interest, rather than completing a checklist. In this guide Which museum should […]
A bathing visit in Seville can be a substantial outing in its own right or a short pause between sights. AIRE Ancient Baths, Las Termas de Híspalis and M SPA all offer standalone bathing, so you can choose pools and steam without committing to a massage or a hotel stay. The two hotel-based circuits admit […]
Christmas in Granada brings together illuminated squares, markets selling crafts and decorations, and nativity scenes that you can visit around the centre. Combine seasonal browsing with the city’s holiday traditions, from Christmas Eve worship to the New Year countdown and the Three Kings parade. You can enjoy the lights and street celebrations without committing to […]
The Alhambra’s Court of the Lions, the Darro’s riverside streets and the Albaicín’s views make a full day of close-looking and hillside walking, ending with tapas around San Miguel Bajo. One day is enough for the principal palace visits and a walk through the old quarters, provided you are already in Granada at opening and […]
Granada’s defining sights are the Alhambra’s Nasrid palaces and the Albaicín’s hillside lanes, but they offer very different visits: one centres on a ticketed complex, the other on a neighbourhood and its views. Beyond them, royal tombs, historic baths and Sacromonte’s cave heritage give the city more depth than a succession of viewpoints. These nine […]
A seated pasta or pizza meal offers a change of pace from tapas in Seville’s historic centre. Choose L’Oca Giuliva for pasta in a compact dining room, Maccheroni for pasta and Neapolitan pizza, or Ricca for a pizza-led meal with a separate chef-led tasting option. These three restaurants run from the cathedral area into El […]
Seville’s dance venues offer distinct reasons to stay out late: Cosmos centres on electronic nights, Fun Club brings an alternative concert-room setting, Sala X rewards choosing a particular DJ session, and Kafka shares Malandar’s venue for electronic club culture. Choose by the music and the admission conditions, rather than treating every ticket as an all-night […]
For a city-only journey, choose Renfe’s direct Avant train if its departure suits you, or choose an ALSA coach for a wider departure choice. Driving makes more sense with a car you already have or an onward road trip, while a taxi or private transfer can simplify travelling with a group and bulky luggage. The […]
Atarazanas Market’s Nasrid gateway, the Alcazaba’s palace courtyards and Picasso’s changing art lead into Málaga’s garden paths and harbour promenade: this is a day of history and art on foot, ending with the beach and dinner in La Malagueta. One full day is enough for these visits, but not for every major interior. Keep the […]
Tenerife can be affordable for food and drink if you choose ordinary cafés and restaurants rather than beachfront terraces. In Puerto de la Cruz, neighbourhood lunches and supermarket shopping offer ways to keep costs down, while Costa Adeje’s seafront restaurants and hotels generally call for a larger allowance. Paid attractions can change a day’s total […]
Choose ordinary January weeks after Epiphany for a winter-sun holiday with less festive demand pressure. Tenerife suits coastal sightseeing and outdoor afternoons better than a trip that needs dependable beach heat every day. Costa Adeje is a sensible sunshine-first base, while swimming and outings into Teide’s high mountains need flexibility. In this guide Is January […]
Choose Costa Adeje for a beach-focused resort stay, Playa de las Américas for nightlife, Los Cristianos for a harbour-side beach base or Puerto de la Cruz for northern town life. For a first visit, the best choice depends on what you want to walk out to each day, not a single island-wide ranking. Your airport […]
Tenerife is known for Listán Negro reds, Listán Blanco whites and sweet Malvasía. Start with the red or white for a meal, then consider a small sweet wine afterwards. Dorada is the island’s familiar beer, while honey rum belongs to the wider Canary Islands drinking tradition. The grape name helps you choose a flavour; the […]
A relaxed meal in Costa Adeje can revolve around a pan of paella at El Tejado, salt-baked fish beside Playa del Duque or croquettes by the sand at La Enramada. Choose by what you want to eat and where you want to sit, rather than treating the resort coast as one restaurant district. These six […]
Choose ordinary January weeks after Epiphany for mild coastal days and sightseeing in Tenerife. You trade the festive accommodation rush for continuing winter-sun demand, not an empty or reliably cheap island. Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos suit a sunshine-first stay, while Puerto de la Cruz offers a north-coast town base. December to February works better […]
A morning at Las Vistas can end as soon as sand play loses its appeal, while Siam Park asks for a much bigger share of the day. Choose your Tenerife outings around what your children enjoy and how long they want to stay, rather than trying to fit the island’s largest attractions into every visit. […]
A beer order in Tenerife can mean a quick drink at a café counter or something to choose alongside dinner. Start with the names on offer: Dorada Pilsen, Dorada Especial Original, Agüita La Picona and Ranilla Summer. The two Dorada variants differ in strength, while the craft choices give you other recipes to explore. Glass […]
Tipping in Tenerife is voluntary, and leaving nothing is not rude. A tip is a thank-you for good service, not an extra payment you owe whenever you eat out, take a taxi or ask hotel staff for help. Choose according to the service you received and what you are comfortable giving. Restaurant and taxi customs […]
El Cedro’s mist-catching laurel forest, Hermigua’s valley and the carved church portal in San Sebastián give you three distinct reasons to cross from Tenerife to La Gomera. An optional stop adds the volcanic pinnacle of Roque de Agando. This is a full-day excursion from Los Cristianos ferry terminal and back, with travel from your accommodation […]
TITSA buses connect Tenerife’s main towns, resorts, beaches and both airports. The tram serves the urban corridor between Santa Cruz and La Laguna. Match the line number with the destination display before boarding, especially at airport stops and on late returns, when departures may use a different stop or finish short of the usual terminus. […]
Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival brings together parades, music and fancy dress, with spectators lining procession routes and costumed visitors joining the dancing in the squares. Choose the street celebrations if you want to take part rather than sit through a stage show. Their usual span runs from the opening Friday before Lent to the […]
