Postcards from Tenerife

Playa las Teresitas: artificial golden sand beach made in the 1970s with sand imported from Sahara.

To keep sand in place a giant wave breaker was built. The beach is only 7km away from port and is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.

Postcard from Teguise

On the streets of former capital of Lanzarote

Postcard from Lanzarote: dunes on Playa Famara

Playa Famara on the North Coast of Lanzarote is only 100km off the African coast so all the sand blown from Sahara desert lands here. It forms these desert-like sandy dunes. Yet one can still tell we are on Lanzarote because of the windmill in the background.

Postcard from Lanzarote: Playa Famara

Surrounded by high cliffs, Playa Famara is a true surfer’s paradise. Seems the winds never stop blowing here. Being only 100km off the African coast this beach receives all the sand blown from Sahara desert. This sand seems to be coming from every fold on your clothing days after the visit to Famara…

Postcard from Lanzarote. Donkey in Teguise.

They say life still goes old way in this former capital... Well, here is the living proof: apparently donkeys are still considered motorized vehicles here and cannot advance past the "No entry" sign
