Still no plans? Are you waiting until the last minute to decide where you're going to take your getaway? where you are going to make your getaway? I make you a proposal, stay in national territory but not in the peninsula: go to the Spanish islands.
And which one, because there are many different ones. Well, that's it, depending on what you feel like. The good thing is that there is variety of landscapes, climates, activities and gastronomy. So you have a lot to choose from.
However, I am going to give you a hand by telling you what I like most about each archipelago. what I like most about each archipelago (of all the things there are, which is a lot!). (of all there is, which is a lot!) Will you join me?
Atlantic or Mediterranean? Surround yourself with water by traveling to the Spanish islands.
The biggest advantage of traveling to the islands this year is that, fortunately, we have no travel restrictions, we have no travel restrictions national territory.
So taking a flight to spend a few spend a few days in the Canary Islands or the Balearic Islands is a great option to get out of your environment and still be "at home".
Both destinations are so versatile that you'll be able to do a lot of things in addition to show off that new bikini you've bought (with one strap, of course (with only one strap, of course, you know that this summer you have to go for the the asymmetrical look).
Canary Islands, if you are looking for contrasts
When I reserve a few days thinking about going to the Canary Islands, it is because I need a little variety. I need a little variety.
It is true that my good ration of beach is never missing. Because I love it and because I need it to disconnect. And all of them in any of the 7 Canary Islands (8, counting La Graciosa) are good to escape in a spectacular environment. escape in a spectacular environment.
If you want a tip: choose the Canary Islands when the peninsular thermometers are very high.
There, although good weather is pretty much guaranteed (it also depends a little bit on the area) temperatures are usually milder and more stable. and stable. Warm enough to be warm enough to be very comfortable, but not so hot that the heat is overwhelming.
But the big question is: which island are you going to visit?
The truth is that they all have different personalities, so it depends on what your body wants. depends on what your body is asking for.
Tenerife is perhaps the most visited. And rightly so. It is the perfect mix of beach and mountain, tropical forests and charming villages. The excursion to Teide, if you haven't done it yet, is a must.
To go out at night and find a good find a good atmosphere, Gran Canaria is undoubtedly the best.
You have to go to Lanzarote with the idea of making many excursions to be amazed by the volcanic the volcanic landscapes, although it is very touristic and so small that you can find many people doing the same as you.
What do you want tranquility and little hustle and bustle? La Palma is your island. Landscape and rest, without complications. Like El Hierro, very small and full of charm, ideal if you take your walking shoes to take a few good walks. Or La Gomera, easy to see in two or three days of two or three days of getaway.
I've told you before that sometimes I love to do something a little different to make plans that are a little bit different: do you know that you can exchange your house and live other experiences? Maybe it is an option for your trip to the islands.
Balearic elegance
What I like the most about visiting the Balearic Islands is that I already know that in my suitcase goes, yes or yes, one of my Ibiza dresses. Although it is a classic style that you can always carry with you, if there is the perfect a perfect occasion to wear it, it's that one.
I especially love embroidery and crochet dresses as always. But the ones with a spot of color are also a dream, especially if you wear them with the right accessories. with the right accessories.
Mallorca is a must-see. But not only because Palma is the capital, it is also a beautiful city to visit. is also a beautiful city to visit. In addition to the beaches, you should also reserve a day to visit the Drach Caves visit the Drach Caves, they will leave you with your mouth open.
If you want to know some of those spectacular spectacular coves that have given international fame to the islands, go to Menorca. to the islands, go to Menorca; or to Ibiza, which between party and party, also boasts some of the best beaches in Europe.
One thing that can not miss on my trips to the Balearic Islands is a visit to a flea market. a visit to a flea market. If you want to get unique pieces with that unmistakable hippie style, this is the right place.
There are several in the islands, but especially recommendable is the flea market of Las Dalias, in Sant Carles, Ibiza. The most crowded is the one on Saturdays, but you can try to escape the crowds by choosing another day or even by going to the night market.
Clothing, costume jewelry, handmade footwear... All kinds of handicrafts with that unmistakable with that unmistakable air of the island. An enjoyment.
I know that I leave a thousand places unmentioned, because all the Spanish islands have a lot to see, incredible beaches, charming villages, spectacular landscapes, typical dishes that you can't miss...
