Love this beech its amazing to watch the people walking along with no cares at all, lots of vending places to get refreshments too. Lovely vibe too the waves are huge too so be careful if you like to swim in the sea as its a very strong current too. All in all its beautiful and you have dunes too but we never got that far but looked amazing too. Nice walk along the prom too and plenty of shops along the way.

Amazing sand dunes location, like a mini Sahara 🏜️🏝️ Great for hiking and walks along the sea front which can be very breezy! Close to shops, hotels and restaurants for the perfect holiday 😎

A gorgeous place to spend a day out. A quite challenging walk throughout the warm sandy hills. Worth walking along the beach which can be much easier and approx 3miles stretch towards the Dunas. However, be aware of a nudist section which is right in the middle of the beach. If prefer to avoid, have to walk back of the section which is over sandy hills, can be very challenging. During a windy time sand is everywhere and big waves 🌊 in presence. Incredibly good sound from the Athletic ocean.

The beach has everything you need: showers, and the option to rent umbrellas and sun loungers. Just be aware that the waves can get pretty strong, and on windy days the sand from the dunes can blow around quite a bit. Other than that, it’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the ocean.

Nice beach! If its too windy you will be covered in sand... We had dinner on the boulevard nearby most nights and there is a lovely atmosphere all around.

Very beautiful n clean beach . Lot of parking n shops

The beach is very pleasant, large, and sandy. Toilets, coffee, and drinks are nearby. I honestly do not recommend using the paid sunbeds, which are available for a fee. The people who manage them and collect the payment are extremely unfriendly. In particular, one overweight man with a beard gives the impression that he is working there as a punishment. Gran Canaria lives mainly from tourism, so I believe even more strongly that people who spend their money here should be treated with respect.

One of the most unique spots on the island. Suitable for all age groups. Breathtaking sunset views from the dune ridges. Sunset (in October) was between 6 and 7 Highly recommend taking a stroll down the beach to the light house. The sun sets right behind it with spectacular views

Amazing place... Other wolrly dunes , behind a long beach.. . There's a mix of naturist and clothed visitors, but nobody seems to care and it works well.. you could wonder for hours either clothed or not.. .. the dunes themselves are quite difficult to walk through, especially when it's hot, so make sure you take plenty of water...

I would never have thought that such a natural refuge could exist right in the middle of a tourist hotspot. And even if it did, I wouldn’t have expected it to be so pleasantly uncrowded (well, except for the beach). But the dune area is large enough that even when others are walking there, it never feels crowded. In some parts you don’t see anyone at all. Thankfully, most people respect the rule not to leave the official paths, helping to preserve the nature. You can easily spend two or three hours exploring the area.

Incredibly beautiful but beware if you go w a tour. We were given just 10-15 min and that's not even enough to go to the toilet as there is only one female cubicle for the public loo. There are no souvenir shops and many ppl are illegally running around the dunes, which is irritating. Go when its overcast otherwise this is too hot and only one cafe to sit down. No parking. There is literally nothing to buy or enjoy here other than to walk the three designated routes.

A challenging walk throughout the warm sandy hills. Worth walking along the beach which can be much easier and approx 3miles stretch. However, be aware as will come across a nudist section which is right in the middle of the beach. During a windy time sand is everywhere and big waves 🌊 in presence.

A small desert on an island — such an amazing place! There are several beaches nearby and plenty of spots to eat or grab a quick snack, something for every taste. The sunsets and sunrises are absolutely beautiful. If you go on a sunny day, especially when the sun is high, make sure to wear something on your feet so the sand doesn’t burn, cover your head, and take some water with you!

an incredible work of nature! the place where it seems the desert meets the ocean and forms the immense beach. Attention, it is a place open to all categories of people, especially those with a certain sexual orientation. It is a place for non-conformist people. I do NOT recommend it for children!

Visited the shopping centre during day as didn't feel appropriate to take kids in the evening reading some of the previous reviews, probably the right call! So this review solely based on going during the day and not seeing some of the 'magic' that others have mentioned! The shopping centre is like a maze of different shops with many cafes, bars and restaurants. No idea if we managed to walk round all parts of it as we was up and down different stairs. Seemed like a good place if you want to get some souvenirs or a cheap football shirt - we certainly found the place a bit different...! Wasn't particularly busy when we went either (mid afternoon).

Stay upstairs if your shopping. Go downstairs and see a fantastically different bit of culture. We didn't stay late. The usual load of tut shops are waiting upstairs and around the perimeter for the whole family. Get the shutters up on the closed premises, the fountain working again and this place will be extra lit Gran Can.

We visited the Yumbo 7 times mainly to eat. Saw some drag artists which was good. We went on Fetish week which we didn't realise it was that week until we got there. It was extremely busy and boy it was very different from our normal holiday. There's lots of stalls and shops so if you like shopping it's good for that. We also played mini golf.

Great place to have fun in an afternoon You have a lot of stuffs to do there We were on a bar named Eden and the waiter there told us about an offert with 2 Coctails pro person only 20€ We found it good so we took it , we had 4 Sex on the beach with NO ALCOOHOL at all So we order 2 shots to take the alcoohol we didnt have :...

great night out, lots of gay people, everyone is amazing, you feel really safe as a girl, many drag queens, good prices for cocktails just a tip: pls dont sleep at the beach after a night out there

Really loved this place. Was here years ago in the winter pride month and was a lot less hectic in September. Best burger king on the land there too 🤣🤣🤣

The Yumbo Centre Gran Canaria. This centre is great for Gay and straight night life. Plenty of friendly bars and restaurants open until very late in the morning. Hours. All types catered for including, many gay bars, night clubs, cruising bars, dance clubs and for those who want to have a drink watching people pass by you can try Peacocks - a very pleasant bar with as many cocktails as you can imagine. Of your hungry I’d head straight for the Chinese buffet. At just £12 for all you can eat it’s a real bargain if you want good food and there is plenty of seafood here too all inc in the price. Daytime shopping is not that good apart from two really good up-market shops having good prices too. Night wise you can spend all week here dancing and cruising in a different bar every night.

This charming square is beautifully located at the heart of Las Palmas and offers a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding architecture. The iconic Catedral de Santa Ana is just steps away, adding to the historic charm of the area. The plaza has a peaceful yet lively atmosphere, with lovely cafes and a pleasant place to sit and people-watch. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, and the stunning surroundings make it an ideal spot to soak up the local culture. A true gem in the city!

✅This Christmas the decoration was wonderful, and marvelous. I hope to see unless the same next year. Congratulations to the mayor of the city. 👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ❌ The only draw back was where to park. Better take the bus, or taxi.

Plaza de Santa Ana is the historic heart of Vegueta in Las Palmas. Surrounded by key buildings like the cathedral, Casas Consistoriales, and the bishop’s palace, it’s a great starting point for exploring the old town. The plaza is wide, clean, and well kept, with palm trees, benches, and the famous bronze dog statues. It’s a calm space where locals and tourists gather, often with street performers or quiet cafés nearby. Good spot to sit, take photos, and soak in the historic atmosphere before heading into the cathedral or nearby museums.

Good value only 6 euros and could go to the top of the tower for the most amazing views of thebcity

It was really cheap to get in, and they do concessions, too. Really great views at the top. The museum is really interesting that is attached to the garden. Plus, audio tour through QR code, so bring your headphones.

Very beautiful to walk around. You can see the architecture of the cathedral (kinda scary tbh and gives horror movie vibes) while also sitting at the cafe. You can enjoy the spanish architecture of the surrounding buildings and later on go shopping in the avenida. Definitely a nice place for tourists to go. North isn't too hot so the weather is enjoyable.

Beautiful historic square in a colonial style buildings around. Recommend to go up the cathedral. The view there is gorgeous. Tickets very cheap and there is an elevator.

Beautiful beach with golden sand, calm clear water, and a lively promenade full of cafes and shops. Perfect spot to swim, relax, or watch the sunset. Loved it!

Super nice beach. Quiet places. Many sport activities. Toilets and showers. Directly on boulevard, terraces, etc. In the evening nice atmosphere. Clean boulevard (dogs, step, bicycle not allowed)

The beach has nice lovely sand. The sun bed is 3 euros for all day. Umbrella is also 3 euros ( visited in Sept 2025). The beach has toilets, stairs that take you to the toilets and indoor showers. It also has outdoor showers. Both were clean. The shore is not abrupt and there are no stones. However, there were some algae. All in all worth the price and the visit, but there is no bar on the actual beach. Only bars, cafes, restaurants above the beach overlooking the ocean. The water is not transparent like in Greece. All in all nice ocean view, but not amazing.

This was the most beautiful beach we saw here,with a long promenade and a sandy beach. It was clean, with showers and a stunning view. The beach was full of life even around 7–8 p.m. There were big waves, which looked amazing. The promenade was lined with restaurants.

Beach and sea are clean and beautiful. Two sunbeds with umbrella cost about €9, but prices for Swiss visitors often jump by 50%. Unfortunately, little is invested in the facilities – compared to the Bagni on the Adriatic, clearly weaker.

Great beach and chilling is the best place at Pepes longchairs!! Very prompt to help and his stuff is in great condition. Hut number 7 (lucky 7)

Maybe one of the most iconic beaches on Gran Canaria! But definitely worth visiting! A few km long but very clean, sand is perfect, plenty of space to place your own beach towel, or you can rent a sunbed and umbrella! Amazing promenade, you could walk for hours and discover all amazing restaurants along the beach! Amazing views of the Ocean as well!

Probably the most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura, maybe even in the whole Canary Islands. The drive there is long (about an hour on a dirt and gravel road), but totally worth it for the breathtaking scenery. Huge waves, endless golden sand, and a wild, untouched atmosphere. No facilities, so bring food, water, and sun protection. A must-visit if you like nature and don’t mind a bit of adventure. There is also old graveyard which you can enter. Stunning Villa Winter is looking at this majestic beach from above

I arrived here on a trip from an agency. The road is quite difficult but it's worth it when you get to see the landscape. A very large, wild beach, I understand that it's dangerous to swim there. The view takes your breath away. It's absolutely wonderful. I recommend it!

Incredible place to visit. You definitely need a car to go there. The road is a bit rough but totally worth it.

A breathtaking beach stretching for kilometres, surrounded by majestic mountains that look as if they’re flowing downwards. There are places where no photo can truly capture how incredible it is, and this is one of those places — you simply have to be there.

Beautiful place and the road is not as bad as described! As long as you drive 20-30km per hour you should have no problems. There is only one part for approx. 1km that’s a bit more narrow but nothing to be afraid of, just go slowly and you’ll be fine 😉 any car will manage.

The most beautiful beach in Feurteventura! The beach is hard to access and you have to drive along a very bumpy and skinny dirt road but it’s so worth it. There aren’t many amenities once you arrive so pack a lunch and enjoy an incredible time in paradise!

Any Balkan road, even highways, is far worse than this one 😂 you may reach it with small fiat 500 if you want to just don't push it when it becomes (occasionally) bumpy. The scenery is astonishing even though there are no swimming conditions, you may see dead corals on the beach, washed up skeletons and so. Besides the towel or beach chair please bring any trash bag and pick up just any piece of plastic that is washed ashore, just as little as you can, to thank the beach.

British Zoos and Wildlife Parks could learn a lot from this place. It was as expensive as Chester Zoo but a million times better. We managed to spend from 9.30am until 3pm without once having a child that says they want to go home. The park is massive and has lots of shaded sections making it easier to get around. It was not packed either, probabbly due to the size and layout. It was 25 degrees when we went, one 1.5l bottle of water wasn't enough and it is €1.6 for a small bottle of water. Some of the enclosures didn't look the best but the animals seemed happy and healthy. I don't think there was one animal we didn't see, unlike Yorkshire Wildlife park where you're lucky to see more than 4 or 5. The sea lion live was brilliant. We didn't see any of the other live shows but I am sure they would have been just as good. Getting to see nile crocodiles was amazing, been to a lot of zoos worldwide and never seen them. Seeing them from underneath in the reptile cave was good also. Splash part for kids is a brilliant idea, helping them cool down. Big park with all sorts going on also. Restaurants were expensive and the food quality was poor. The salad was fresh, nice, but the chicken was dry and chewy. Given the size of the park it would have been nice to see maybe an insect area, showing native insects maybe.

Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura was one of the absolute highlights of our trip — what an amazing day out! I highly recommend a visit; it’s a magical place that all ages will enjoy. They offer mobility scooters if needed and adorable little karts for young kids whose legs might get tired (both available at an extra cost). It’s wonderful to see the animals living in such a natural and spacious environment. The zebras are stunning, and the ostriches are much bigger than I ever imagined! There’s a fantastic viewing point where you can feed the giraffes — they’re cheeky characters! One even tried to sneak up on me and nearly stole my sunglasses 😅. The walkways are beautifully kept, with wooden bridges that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a jungle. I’ve never seen so many alligators basking in the sun, and we were lucky enough to catch the sea lion show — absolutely captivating! From monkeys to flamingos and everything in between, the variety of animals is incredible. Definitely plan to arrive early because you’ll want the entire day to explore this amazing park. An unforgettable experience that’s well worth every minute!

My husband and I really enjoyed our day out here. There was plenty to see, added experiences of being able to feed the camels and giraffes. The seal lion show was amazing, the animals are well looked after and this shows in how they react with their handlers. Definitely worth the price, we spent over 5 hours exploring the zoo. Would definitely recommend. Was definitely our best part of visiting the island.

A beautiful park with a wide variety of animals and stunning plant life. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the zoo is seamlessly integrated into the natural environment. It's a wonderful combination of botanical diversity and wildlife. While animal parks can always be subject to criticism, this one clearly makes a strong effort to provide habitats that resemble the animals' natural surroundings. The park is quite large, and although the entrance fee may seem very high at first, I found it to be well worth it – there's so much to see and explore. There's also the option to enjoy good-quality food within the park, but just centrally located restaurant. The small shops in the park do mostly have just sweet snacks.

Fantastic day out for the family. The animals are really well kept with large enclosures. Unlike zoos in the UK the experience is far more up close and personal, you are able to touch the giraffes, feed the camels and get up close to the elephants. The sea-lion show is a must. We ate in the park and again unlike UK parks the prices were reasonable. We paid under €25 for paella, chips and chicken nuggets and 3 drinks. We hired a cart to pull our young child but don’t bother it’s harder work pulling them up the steep paths than carrying them. Great day out thoroughly enjoyable.

Great day out, for a 38 year old and two in there 60's there was plenty to keep us there all day. If you have kids there's even more to do. Friendly staff, plenty of places to eat at reasonable prices and lots of toilets dotted about. Animals were all in good condition and lots to see. It's spread over a big area so expect to walk some. We went to both the sealion and bird shows which were great and put out in Spanish, English and German which is a great plus for the varied visitors. In all a great day out (7 hours for us) so good value too. Well worth a visit if you are on the island.

We booked the safari park through TUI and were given details for booking tickets for the Oasis bus service which made this much easier for us. The park was good, although we felt a few enclosures were a little small for the animals. The botanic garden was very interesting and we enjoyed feeding the Lamas, Giraffes and Camels!

Very nice beach, nice snorkeling. Very calm water, perfect for families with kids. I also liked the type of sand, which is a little bit different than on beaches on the east side of the island

Lovely beach with sandy shore and crystal clear lagoons. It is about 15 mins walking from the bus stop. There are toilets and showers near the life guard. We prepared drink and food for the day because restaurans and shops are not near. Naturists and bikini sunbathers next to each other with no problem.

Beautiful beach , close to the town also some good places to eat in the area. Good for families with children because of the rocks that are bloking the waves ! Nice in the sunset!

Been a few times to this beach and it lovely and clean. Our 3 yr old grandson loved playing on the sand and in the water. It is a nudist beach as well 😎 we also went in the evening to watch sunset which I'd stunning highly recommend this. El Cotillo is a beautiful place to visit.

Love El Cotillo, there are turquoise, clear lagoons protected from the big waves on one side of town. The big, wild beach at the other side of town is good fun for waves. The town itself has gorgeous little shops and restaurants. Being on the west coast of the island too means that it’s a great spot for sunsets.

Amazing beach. White sands which makes also the water look turquoise, small lagunas with calm waters and then big waves further if you wish to have some fun. Not busy usually, restaurants few hundred metres away, car park close by. This place is great for relaxing and enjoying the view.

A beautiful tranquil beach with turquoise waters and white sand on the north west of the island. It is clearly a trendy area, normally frequented by cool surfer types, I say normally because like all areas at the moment due to the Covid restrictions are very quiet. But anyway if you are staying nearby or perhaps drive up to the North to visit the volcano then this is a great stop over. We spent a couple of hours chilling on the beach in the hot sun, yes it was a bit breezy but thanks to the stone built wind breakers, once you lie down on your towel, you hardly notice the wind at all. There was free parking directly on the beach and a lot of little restaurants and shops nearby. Highly recommended when you visit Fuerteventura

A stunning, expansive beach with almost white, powdery sand. The water is icy cold but crystal clear. The surrounding dunes add a unique and beautiful touch to the scenery. There’s plenty of roadside parking since the beach stretches out over a large area. For me, it’s the most beautiful beach on the island – an absolute must-visit while in Fuerteventura.

Interesting and fun. Kite flying and surfers. Sand dunes deceptively difficult to climb

Beautiful beach and sand dunes

Huge beach, fantastic dunes, something beautiful. Similar to the dunes in the Polish Słowiński National Park, but much larger. And the water is much cleaner and nicer.

Beautifully white and soft sandy beach, worth a trip. We stopped off of the dune buggy tour, would have loved to have stayed longer.

Beautiful walk, crystal clear water, white sands

It’s absolutely stunning here, you will not regret your visit! Climbing the huge dunes to see the crystal clear ocean on the other side and Lobos Island was incredible. Not overly busy as the beach is massive so you won’t feel crowded. We saw a rainbow cloud whilst there which was magnificent, I didn’t even know these existed until I saw it. 100% recommend the visit.

Wandered down the promenade soon after we arrived in the resort and came across the small shopping centre next to the Rubicon Marina. The area, leading, to and around the Marina is lovely. Plenty to see and do. We stopped at Lani's Snack Bar for something to eat. Service and food were excellent. Plan to revisit the area on Wednesday or Saturday to see the Market.

Lovely place with good shops and beautiful restaurants

Stunning little marina and boutique shopping area. A short 20min walk from.our hotel along the coastal path (Castillo Tagoro) just before sunset, you get an amazing view of the harbour and town (see photo).Some lovely places to eat out or drink or just walk around admiring the view and design of this lovely town. There are a few boutique stores for clothing and souvenirs.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Centro Commercial Rubicon, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of cleanliness and order that truly enhanced my shopping experience. First and foremost, I was impressed by the impeccable cleanliness throughout the entire mall. The floors were spotless, the restrooms were well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was inviting. It was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, which made me feel comfortable and at ease during my visit. Another aspect that stood out to me was the wide range of options available when it came to food and clothing. The food court offered an array of choices, catering to various tastes and preferences. From local cuisine to international delicacies, there was something to satisfy every craving. Likewise, the clothing stores featured an impressive selection of fashionable clothing brands, ensuring that shoppers had plenty of options to choose from. However, it is worth mentioning that some items in the mall were on the expensive side. While the quality and variety were commendable, it's important to be mindful of your budget when shopping at Centro Commercial Rubicon. Nevertheless, I found that the overall experience justified the prices to some extent, as the mall provided a comfortable and enjoyable environment for shopping and dining. In addition to the cleanliness and variety, the mall's layout was well-designed, making navigation a breeze. Signage was clear and informative, making it easy to find the stores and amenities I was looking for. The staff members I encountered were friendly and helpful, ready to assist with any inquiries or directions needed. Overall, my experience at Centro Commercial Rubicon was a positive one. The cleanliness, extensive choice of food and clothing, and the overall pleasant ambiance left me impressed. While the prices may be a tad high, the quality and convenience offered made it worthwhile. Whether you're looking for a place to shop, dine, or simply enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend paying a visit to Centro Commercial Rubicon.

More like not shop and run. I don't like making negative reviews but in this case I have too. OK we visited this place about 4pm on Monday so not the best time. I would say about half the shops are not occupied. There was only a supermarket, perfume shop, somewhere for your nails and a few clothes shops. The small bowling alley was shut. We hoped to stay an hour or more but 10 minutes were enough. Disappointing 😞.

What a lovely Marina, great shops and lovely restaurants. Went end of April/May 2022 and there was a swimming pool there but due to covid / early in the season the pool area was still closed. Such a lovely atmosphere at the Marina and we went on market day which gave it even more charm. Well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go back again,loved it there.

Ok for a visit out of hotel few good shops, supermarket and chemist, right by the harbour with great views and nice places to grab a bite to eat. Also great little pools of fish to watch as you cross over the wooden bridges.

I had an unforgettable experience at Timanfaya National Park—it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The bus tour through the volcanic landscapes was both thrilling and a little bit scary, making it all the more exciting. Driving through the craggy lava fields, it felt like stepping into another world—black volcanic rock stretching as far as the eye can see, smoke gently rising from the earth, and the contrast of the bright blue sky above. As the day shifted and shadows grew, the landscape took on a mysterious, almost otherworldly beauty. After the tour, we planned to try the restaurant famous for cooking food using volcanic heat. Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived. However, the staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to help us. They checked the kitchen and graciously prepared two plates of food just for us. I am especially grateful to the gentleman who made this wonderful experience possible. Everywhere you look in Timanfaya National Park, the scenery is breathtaking—the interplay of lava, sky, and sunlight makes you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet. The combination of thrilling tours, incredible natural beauty, and warm, helpful people makes visiting Timanfaya an experience you will never forget. If you have the chance, you absolutely should go—you’ll be amazed.

Timanfaya National Park Perfect place for all the family. Take the bus around the volcano and the larger volcanic fields. GeasersI recently visited Timanfaya National Park 🌋 and it was an amazing experience for everyone! Taking a bus tour around the volcano and vast volcanic fields gave me a real appreciation for the unique landscape. I was fascinated by the raw power of nature, which is on display everywhere in the park. It's a fantastic place for the whole family, with something to amaze all ages. I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful place. #TimanfayaNationalPark #VolcanoAdventure #FamilyTrip

My daughter and I arrived on a scooter and that is definitely the way to do it - the queue for cars was long but we zipped past. The coach trip was fascinating and a really unique experience but take note - if you suffer from travel sickness, it's 40 minutes of the windiest twistiest roads you've ever been on. The restaurant with food cooked over the volcano was really nice and not pricey (which we had feared) and not too busy. For 5 stars then something would need to be done about the queuing and the entry price could be more reasonable.

Amazing! Regarding queues: Friday end of November, we came at 09:00, no waiting time at all. We left closer to 12:00 and .... also almost no cars in the queue (~15-20 mins is nothing but observing a great views).. seems no needs to wake up too early in a low season. We haven't booked online as there were no slots left and seems it's not needed at all. Important: if you come early in the morning to avoid queues, be aware you won't try a lava cooked chicken (it's opens at 12). Overall time to visit the park ~ 1-1.5 hour. Absolutely must see place. Even staying in a queue this is must see in Lanzerote.

Went on a Jet2 trip. Picked up by coach collected others enroute and guide on the bus provided a wealth of information about the park. Provided with access to a limited area where you could walk and take pictures. Three course meal provided in the restaurant as the sun setting.

We visited the Islet of Hilario area of Timanfaya National Park using an organized bus tour, which we booked through an online marketplace for tour guides. This option worked perfectly - there are parts of the park between the volcanoes that are not accessible privately and can only be visited on certified tour buses. The landscape is absolutely amazing, truly otherworldly. Wr’ve never seen anything like it. The remains of the volcanic eruptions that took place just 300 years ago are still breathtakingly vivid. An absolute must-see when visiting Lanzarote.

Great experience, well organized, it was not dificult to buy the tickets in the entrance, just same time as if we had already tickets as there is a queue of cars for all in the entrance (at least in the day we were there). Tip: during the bus road sit in the opposite side of the driver, you will have the best view of the vulcanos.

This place is absolutely stunning, we just kept saying wow wow wow when we visited. Such a special and interesting piece of architecture, would really recommend to visit. The gardens are also magnificent. Plan to spend about 1 hour. Easy free parking. They also have a small coffee shop with some snacks. We bought the combined ticket, you can visit the other house within 15 days of your visit here. The 10 eur tickets is definitely worth the price (17 eur for the combined ticket).

Makes for an interesting visit, getting a chance to look at how the artist lived here before he moved to his new mansion in Haría. The house is very spacious and looks very relaxing. However, with 10€ entrance charge (for non-residents) it's a little overpriced.

The ticket is 10€/person. You see one of the iconic person on the island. You kinda see his house, and what he did (from arhitecture to paintings). Good place to have a look if you are interested in that kind of things.

Had a lovely walk into the Cesar Manrique Foundation this morning, his first house. Very interesting site where you can learn the history of Cesar and how he contributed to the island!

This is a very interesting place to learn about César Manrique, his life and what he did to protect Lanzarote. We visited as part of a larger tour around César Manriques life, which is very interesting.

This place is an absolute must see, full of history and a delight to walk around, just WOW!!

Fantastic place to visit, a 70s throwback house in lava bubbles! Some amazing artwork too.

If you need to pick between James de Agua y Cueva de los verdes, don't hesitate and go to Cueva de los Verdes! Amazing caves derivates from old lava tunnels. The tour is guided and you learn things along the way. The entrance must be booked online for a specific day and time.

This is a very interesting location to visit, beautifully lit. However, 4 stars instead of 5 because the experience is subpar, which is a pity given how much the site has to offer: - huge group (50 people) for a fairly space-constrained site - guide must run through his program with zero flexibility, meaning you feel like cattle - and no time for questions either - we were very early and could have joined an earlier group that had lots of free spots, but, no, they wouldn't show any flexibility and forced us to wait for our turn, which was a more crowded group... - very little contextualisation as to why these tubes appear We visited similar tubes in Tenerife. The tubes themselves were less impressive, but the experience was night and day: smaller group, the guide gave us lots of explanations about why, had time for questions, made us feel like he was a pro but wasn't doing this for the 1000th time.

A 50 minutes guided tour through the lava tunnels. Very impressive and a must see. We had a friendly guide explaining a lot about the volcanic activity on the island. You must book in advance and choose a time slot. Be there on time.

A guided tour through the lava tunnels. Very impressive and a must see. We had a very friendly guide. You must have a booking which can be done online. Some places are narrow / low so may not be suitable for people that have claustrophobia etc

We spent most of our time learning about the volcanic cave itself, which was really interesting and informative. However, there wasn’t much time to enjoy or explore the underground lake, which I would have loved to see in more detail. Still a unique and memorable part of the excursion!

Had a lovely time in Cueva de los Verdes! The tour needs to be pre booked & it lasts around 50min! It's well worth the money! Thanks Ivan for your guided tour today, we did learn a lot & had a great time!

Guided tour of caves created by lava. Our tour guide was excellent. We have been able to learn cool stuff about caves and see personally what we heard and read in Casa del Volcanes museum.

Lovely view from the top of the tower, the bells are in working order so be aware that they are loud if you’re quietly enjoying the scenery. There’s a display of historic clothing, which is interesting. The shrine of bones is small and missing all the skulls. The inside of the cathedral is quite impressive.

The Cathedral in Faro is a charming historic building with a lot of character. The real highlight is climbing the tower, where you get fantastic views over the old town and the surrounding area. That said, parts of the cathedral and museum feel a bit run down, and the €5 entrance fee seems a little steep for what’s on offer. It’s best to see the fee more as a small contribution to preserving the place rather than paying for a polished attraction.

It’s absolutely worth a visit! The Cathedral is beautifully decorated and even has a charming little garden. Your ticket includes access not only to the Cathedral itself, but also to the museum, the fascinating bone chapel, and the tower. I especially appreciated the multilingual information provided for each piece of art, which makes it easy to understand the history behind them. Climbing the tower is definitely rewarding — it offers a wonderful panoramic view of the city. A very complete and enriching experience!

Gorgeous cathedral in the historic centre built in the Gothic style in 1249 which replaced a Muslim mosque, itself built on a Roman temple ! Some notable vestiges of its origins remain, such as the tower and the large ogival portal. The two side chapels of the transept, surmounted by ribbed vaults, also in the Gothic style, date from the 15th century. Plundered and burned down in 1596, it was remodeled many times. Worth seeing are the late 17th-century azulejos that adorn the Capela de Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the tomb of the knight Rui Valente.

Very touristy, but it's a tourist area so you can expect nothing less. Still quite busy considering it's off peak. Doesn't seem to be to expensive. Getting around using the Bolt app.

It is beautiful, with great art from the Barroc. It is 5 euros. It is worth it. You can go up the tower with beautiful views.

Also known as Sé de Faro, is a decently looking and historically rich landmark located in the heart of the Old Town. It sits proudly in Largo da Sé, surrounded by cobbled streets and peaceful orange trees, offering a tranquil contrast to the more modern parts of the city. The cathedral combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements, reflecting the many changes it has undergone since it was first built in the 13th century. While not as imposing as some cathedrals in larger cities, its charm lies in the details like the intricately carved wooden choir stalls, decorative tiles, and peaceful inner courtyard. One of the highlights is the bell tower, which you can climb for panoramic views over Faro’s historic center and the nearby Ria Formosa lagoon. It’s a short but slightly narrow and steep ascent, so be prepared, but the view at the top is well worth the effort. The entry fee is modest and includes access to the cathedral interior, the tower, and a small religious art museum. It’s a quiet and contemplative stop that doesn’t take too long to explore but leaves a lasting impression thanks to its peaceful atmosphere and historical significance. The Cathedral i definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re already exploring the Old Town. It offers a calm and beautiful experience with a glimpse into the city’s religious and architectural heritage.

The island is approx. 1.5km circular walk. Lovely white sands and clear waters although there were quite a few jelly fish. All your expected beach amenities are there - restaurants, bars sundowners areas for those not wanting the loungers. Relatively quiet in the morning. Got busier in the afternoon.

One of the Algarve’s most inviting and laid-back beach destinations, perfect for a relaxed day trip or a longer seaside escape. Accessible by ferry from Tavira, the island offers a long stretch of soft golden sand, calm turquoise waters, and a peaceful, undeveloped vibe that contrasts nicely with some of the busier resort beaches in the region. The beach is wide and clean, with plenty of space even during high season if you walk a bit away from the main drop-off point. The water is generally calm and great for swimming, and the surrounding nature is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, adding to the sense of tranquility and beauty. Near the ferry landing area, you’ll find a few casual restaurants, snack bars, and small shops where you can grab food, drinks, or rent umbrellas and loungers. The facilities are basic but sufficient—don’t expect luxury, but you’ll have what you need for a comfortable beach day. If you’re willing to walk farther down the island, you’ll find quieter spots and even some clothing-optional areas. It’s a great place to escape the crowds and enjoy a more natural beach experience. Keep in mind that there are no ATMs on the island and not every vendor accepts cards, so bringing some cash is a good idea. Also, shade is limited unless you rent an umbrella or bring your own. Overall, Ilha de Tavira is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend a day by the sea. It combines natural charm with just enough convenience and remains one of the hidden gems of the eastern Algarve.

We liked the way you get there. By ferry from Tavira, 20min or so. The island is very green, has place for picnic, restaurants and small shops. The beach is huge, very busy in summer!

Great place and atmosphere. One of the best beaches in the Algarve. The island as all the services you need to spend fantastic a day or even a week.

Flat, wide beach reached by short ferry or tourist train. Even in busy months you can walk a bit and find space. Facilities are simple but reliable. Breezy conditions are common; a windbreak helps. Family-friendly and low-stress, with enough length for a proper beach walk.

Enjoyed our time on Tavira island,Boat trip was only £2.20 return,with restaurants nearby, comfortable sunlounger ,They even had fish plastic bottle banks

Ilha de Tavira is a gem waiting to be discovered! This vibrant island is has restaurants, small shops, and jewelry vendors that offer a treasure trove of goodies. The beach is pristine and buzzing with energy, filled with people of all ages soaking up the sun and enjoying the lively atmosphere. You’ll love the convenient outdoor showers, perfect for rinsing off the sand before you head back home. Plus, getting to and from the island is a short ride on the inexpensive double-decker ferry. This island is a total must-visit when you're visiting in Portugal—it's an adventure you won't want to miss!

The staff were friendly and nice. Location was ok – in the centre of medina. Room description: dark, ugly, with a smelly bathroom which looks like a prison. The bed was too soft, I had a back pain after sleeping on it. If you don’t care about this and your main purpose is to save some money on accommodation – book it. Maybe you can handle 1-2 nights. Small breakfast in the terrace with a view included.

The hotel was a traditional Hotel. The rooms was ok , clean and warm. The only problem was the outside toilet. Difficult through the night or for shower.. The hotel was in the centre of the old town Medina. For me too much traffic and noise but i didn't know about the life rhythms in the old town. The breakfast was basic but the choices of bread really good ! The staff was really very kind and helpful ! Was a nice stay in a good price.

Good location, kind and attentive staff, good and plentiful breakfast on the terrace. Rooms are okay - clean and affordable. Only issue really was we were in the room adjacent to the lobby and the first floor above the Medina alley, so it was quite noisy.

The rooms are just average. If you are a light sleeper. The doors are thin. Could hear everything outside the room. I did not sleep properly. The staff is amazing. Kindest people.

Perfectly located , nice and clean rooms. Kind and always helpful service. Good breakfast with fresh bakeries.

Nice, big room. Clean and well appointed. Fantastic rooftop terrace. Would stay again.

If you want an authentic, spotlessly clean hotel in a prime location 👌 the Tanger Medina is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. They are so special and kind. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace. It will take your breath away. Soothing background music and delicious fresh food and spectacular views of the Casbah and to the harbour. We are hoping to return one day 🙏 Right in the heart of the medina and the atmosphere is pure Tangiers.

The beach is really nice, there is some places to enjoy a drink or explore local food but the most interesting is the white sand and the blue water, I really enjoyed my time there and I will come back.

By far the best beach we visited near Cádiz! The sea was a bit wavy but so much fun to swim in. The water temperature was just perfect – not too cold, not too warm. The coastline is long and peaceful, with a really relaxing vibe

Amazing, smooth sand, sea temperature in October was better than expected, several nice chirinquitos around. Free parking in october and accessibility

Amazing beach, very clean with excellent facilities. ( Great for sunsets too 😉 )

The most wonderful beach, especially for children as it slopes so gently. It is quite windy so lots of waves but i seriously suggest long hair is tied back or it will be stuck to your sun lotioned face and lip balm. Glorious sunsets here too. We went in October, the sea was warm and the beach almost deserted. Perfect. Excellent free parking and small play areas dotted about.

me encata

One of the best beaches I’ve been to

Nice cathedral in colonial style. The entry ticket costs 10€, a bit expensive but I recommend to visit inside. Outside there are many restaurants, i consider them more touristic places and I suggest to just walk few meters and you can find more choices and less touristic.

Very recommended. Do not miss it:) Beautiful cathedral with interesting architecture and history. It has a large grotto ( including a mummy of a maiden in incredibly good condition!). The entry includes headphones tour guide, entry to the church tower where you can take a panoramic look at the city from above, the tower is relatively easy to climb as it hardly has any stairs! The ticket price also covers the museum (a bit away from the cathedral but closes at 16:00!) On the square before the cathedral there are a couple of coffee-bars and an ice cream shop which are open daytime (unlike the restaurants which open mostly later than 20:00) and a rooftop bar which opens only in the evening. The drinks and food prices are normal and very convenient for a main square shop - unlike most European cities:) I got my entry ticket on the spot but it can also be purchased online in advance.

Cádiz Cathedral is a very impressive and monumental building, uniquely placed so close to the sea and is beautiful both inside and out. The views of the city from the bell tower are spectacular and the crypt is not to be missed. The first time we were there the Christmas Crib was still in place and it was stunning. My favourite part are the two angles on both sides. Lots of good artwork and the silver on display is amazing.

While on RCCL Explorer OTS Transatlantic West 2025 we stopped at Cadiz. It was an easy and fun port for sightseeing and walking. It you like old architecture and history the Cathedral is a must visit. There is also a Jesuit church nearby that is 0 KM of the El Camino de Santiago route from the southwest of Spain. Lots of history to explore. We enjoyed the musicians that performed in front of the cathedral.

We stopped in Cadiz while on a long cruise from Lisbon. We spent the day walking around the old city center just exploring. Lots to see here. Today was marathon day in Cadiz so every place we went was very crowded. The cathedral is beautiful on the outside. Unfortunately we were unable to enter the church due to the marathon and crowds. We sat at a cafe in front of the cathedral and just enjoyed all the happenings.

So beautiful! We climbed the bell tower and got the best views! The square was so pretty and not too crowded, had a sangria at a café outdoors in the square. So enjoyable!

Magnificant view at top of clock Tower, but you need to climb about 7 storey of spiral slope. Worth the effort. Beware of deafening sound from the tower bells!

This place is like no other. Almost every wall is colored blue but it doesn't come across overpowering at all. The Medina is a old city quarter painted in different shades of blue, filled with street vendors of different kinds, and pathways paved with cobblestones. There is a courtyard filled with restaurants and their various other shops. Beautiful, breathtaking, and a must-visit in a life time.

This city is pretty, the bright blue colors everywhere and the boutiques are pretty colourful and the shop keeps are friendly. Many little allies and cute squares, a nice little walk towards the panoramic lookout points for the sunset and over looking the whole medina. Good place to visit, strongly recommended

This is a city that you can wonder around and find something new around every corner. It is so beautiful with all the different variations of blue and other vibrant colors. I would plan at least three nights here as we only did two and felt like we didn’t get to see enough.

This was a GREAT city and I’m so glad that I prioritized coming here during my trip. I flew from Marrakesh to Tanger (also because I needed to fly out of Tanger). From there, I booked a day trip. You can squeeze it into a day if you want but could easily split it into two so that you can really walk through everything and actually go up and see the river views etc.

Chefchaouen — The Blue Pearl of North Africa Visiting Chefchaouen was like stepping into another world. The moment we arrived, everything slowed down — the noise, the rush, the stress — and we found ourselves wandering through calm, blue-painted streets that looked straight out of a dream. Every corner of this town feels like a piece of art: deep shades of blue blending with white walls, colorful doors, and smiling locals passing by with a quiet dignity that’s rare to find. What struck us most was the atmosphere. Chefchaouen has this strange mix of peace and mystery. You can spend hours just walking with no particular plan, discovering tiny shops, hidden cafés, and rooftops with views over the Rif Mountains. Even though it’s small, it has layers — a rhythm that pulls you in and makes you forget time. The locals were incredibly kind. Several times people stopped just to give directions, suggest a good spot to eat, or share a story about the town. That warmth made the whole experience even richer. If you’re traveling through Morocco, Chefchaouen is absolutely a must-visit. It’s not just about the famous blue walls — it’s about how they make you feel. Peaceful, curious, and strangely connected to something timeless. We stayed two nights, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave.

The place is characterized by breathtaking beauty and unparalleled charm, but the visiting experience is marred by uncomfortable practices by some tour guides, especially children who are no more than ten years old. These guides insistently pester tourists, trying to force them to use their services, which causes great annoyance and resentment. I hope that the responsible authorities will intervene to reduce this phenomenon, so that visitors can enjoy the beauty of the place without harassment.

Beautiful part of the medina, highly recommend visiting just for a day as it’s quite small and quite sufficient to do within a few hours. I will say that you may be hassled a lot like a few busy places in Morocco by local merchants. I was fortunate to visit at low tourist season so it was nice to see a lot of the area, but the impact of little tourists will find that you may get hassled more. Overall stunning views of an integral part of Morocco’s history. So I wouldn’t avoid this. Be wary some spots for iconic shorts are required a small fee from merchants. So look out for that I would say

Great tour around the premies of Bodega Tio Pepe and the González Byass Sherry house. Started with a train ride around the park and buildings and then a guided tour in a lot of the historical buildings of the wine yard. We ended with a Sherry tasting with some small tapas. I recommend the large package to experience it all, it was so interesting. In the end you passing thru the gift shops with the full sherry assortment and more. I would definitely come back if I’m visiting Jerez again.

Our visit to Bodega Tio Pepe was an unforgettable experience! As soon as we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the rich aromas of aging wine and the sight of countless barrels lined up, each telling its own story. The sheer scale of the bodega was impressive, and it was fascinating to learn about the traditional process of sherry production. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the history of Tio Pepe and the unique characteristics of their wines. Walking through the barrel room felt like stepping back in time, and we loved hearing about the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. The highlight of the tour was definitely the tasting session. Sampling the different sherries was a treat, and we appreciated how the guide explained the nuances of each variety. The pairing with local tapas was a delightful touch, enhancing the flavors and creating a perfect pairing experience. Overall, our time at Bodega Tio Pepe was both educational and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax and soak in the experience. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who enjoys wine or wants to learn more about sherry in a beautiful setting!

I don't understand why some people have given such negative reviews. I suspect they are just grumpy folk with a short fuse. Our couple of hours were great. Started off with a little train ride (actually bus pulling mini wagons, but still cute) around the grounds (a huge plot they own in the centre of town next to the cathedral) (I have given 4* instead of 5* as I would have preferred to stroll around the wonderfully ornate gardens on my own, at my own pace, but this isn't an option thus remove 1*). Then a little walking tour through the old factory and storage rooms. Our guide was gentle and informative. Ending up with the tasting of 4 different sherries. I would recommend the max tasting package. For the extra €5 you get two extra glasses of sherry, well worth it IMHO. All in all, a great way to get gently pickled and taste some great drinks.

Didn't try any other Bodega Tours but maybe should have done a bit more research. Maybe it was our guide but didn't feel as though we learnt much about the why or how of Sherry production. Also thought the 'tapas' represented very poor value in a city of great Tapas. €100 for a family of 4 (obviously no Sherry for the kids) seemed a lot

A very interesting tour in a very impressive bodega steeped in history. We bought a tour and a tasting (with 4 wines, but no food package). Firstly, the good stuff: lots of history, lovely environment, very interesting tour guide who was clearly passionate about the history of Tio Pepe/GB. Now the not so good: As many reviews have pointed out, the tour groups are simply too big. You feel like cattle being shunted around. Whilst the bodega has lots of ambience, the tasting area feels like a laboratory! It's bright, even stark. Plain white tables and chairs. Everyone (and there is a mass of people) is pushed together. It feels very impersonal, more like a production line. If you don't order the food package, you get absolutely nothing with your sherry tasting. Not even a tiny packet of bread snacks. I thought that was pretty poor. Many people did order food, and from what I could see, it didn't look that great. There seemed to be quite a bit left on the serving plates as we left. Afterwards, we went to a nearby bar, full of ambience and locals, and had great tapas. So, all in all, a nice tour, but it could have been so much better. We are going to another tour tomorrow at a much smaller, less commercial bodega. My hopes are high and my fingers crossed...

First off, we bought a tour that included sherry tasting and tapas. The tour was interesting and informative but Tio Pepe are capitalising on the tourist market and there were FAR too many people booked on the tours going on in parallel in different languages. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is probably close to the truth. As many have said here, and I should have listened to them, the tapas option isn't worth bothering with. Better to have a meal in a good tapas place once you've finished the tour. In summary: informative & interesting, too many people booked in, sherry tasting - yep - gives you a different perspective on sherry, tapas - don't bother. Might want to try another bodegas that is less busy?

The tours are excellent, friendly helpful guides. Suggest buying the 4 wine tasting as it's worth the money. Our guide was amazing, however to be 5 stars they could reduce tour sizes (30 per group) so they could attend to the tasting better and be a bit less rushed.

Our tour took us to the breathtaking Saint Michael's Cave, and what an experience it was! The cave itself was stunning, filled with mood lighting and enchanting music that truly showcased nature's beauty. While I had anticipated a more extensive cave system, the atmosphere was still captivating.

The caves are not easy to get to and usually require a bus trip to get to. I must say the effort is worth it. Though the area accessible to the public is not large, it is really beautiful. The lights and music set off these limestone formations wonderfully. The stalactites and stalagmites have formed amazing shapes over thousands of years. Of the all the formations the St Michael image is the most sticking and best seen when the lighting reveals the image. The amphitheater is great and I believe there are concerts held in the caves. A great place to visit.

Really amazing cave in some places I would argue the lighting takes away from the natural beauty. The light show is great but don't expect any info on the cave at this point. Definitely worth a visit, stunning natural structures.

So beautiful! Its cool inside, not too hot or cold - just perfect. Every so often there are colourful lights flashing onto the walls of the cave making them look beautiful, as well as showing the area that is meant to look like Saint Michael better. (Included image). There is an area with a bunch of chairs where you can watch a little show of lights on the cave walls every seven minutes. There is a few stairs so wouldn't recommended someone with limited mobility to go however there is a wheelchair lift available to the show area.

It was a really nice experience. The light installations are pretty and effective. There is a small area with chairs for concerts. The acoustic must be amazing. Sadly we had no time for a concert there. 😊

Amazing cave full of impressive stalactites and stalagmites, with spectacular lighting that makes the visit even more magical. The auditorium inside is unique and adds a special touch. A must-see if you visit the Rock of Gibraltar.

We’re visiting from Romania. Absolutely stunning! The cave is magical with its lights and atmosphere, a true must-see in Gibraltar. They even host concerts here, which makes it even more special. Unique experience, highly recommend!

Great experience! We saw the monkeys, enjoyed the stunning views, and it was totally worth it. We booked tickets in advance, it's a must, otherwise you waste hours in line in a hot weather. Beautiful place, definitely recommend! 🐒🌍

Offers great views all the way to Africa. Cable car takes you to the top in only 6-7 minutes. Up there you can see wild monkeys.

Visiting the Rock of Gibraltar was such a memorable experience. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — unfortunately it was a bit foggy on the day we were visiting the Rock. The famous monkeys are definitely the stars of the show. They’re playful, curious, and not afraid to get close (so hold on to your snacks!). The hike to the top is amazing — you pass so many interesting spots along the way and the scenery just keeps getting better the higher you go. It’s a perfect mix of nature, history, and adventure.

Best Way to Enjoy It (SAVE MONEY! AVOID CABLE CAR!) This is the best and cheapest way to do it! First things first — avoid the cable car! It’s expensive and you’ll miss out on the full adventure. Instead, start your journey from the Union Jack Steps / Straits and walk up. The route is scenic and full of incredible viewpoints. When you reach the first main point called Devil’s Gap, you’ll find the Nature Reserve entrance. Here you only need to buy one ticket for around £30 & THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE TO PAY! Don’t waste extra money elsewhere! That single ticket includes access to all the top attractions: • The Suspension Bridge • The St. Michael’s Cave (absolutely breathtaking — don’t miss it!) • The Skywalk • And several other amazing viewpoints along the way You can walk in a circular route around the Rock, which takes about 3–4 hours, or take a shorter 1–2 hour route straight to the top, there are multiple paths, so you can choose based on your time and energy. And yes, you’ll definitely see the famous MONKEYS! 🐒 They’re fun to watch but don’t feed them and keep your distance, they can get curious and might try to grab your stuff! If you can, stay until sunset, the view is unforgettable. You can even see Africa across the sea on a clear day! 🌅 Honestly, this hike is worth every step, don’t waste your money on the cable car. Get the real experience by climbing the Rock yourself! the views, the nature, and the sense of achievement are unbeatable!

What a beautiful place to visit, stunning views and the monkeys are so lovely. Nice cafe at the top, and plenty to see. We walked down and went in the tunnels as well. My issue is the amount of taxis piled up waiting. At one point there were at least 30!! You end up spending your time avoiding being run over as they don’t care and act like they own the place. One beeped his horn at me and I was nowhere near in his way. I think that amount of taxis ruins the experience.

We loved Gibraltar :) There is a lot to visit here - for example, viewpoints with monkeys, caves, military tunnels, a castle and much more. The trip is for the whole day. I recommend visiting! :)

We recently spent the day at the Rock of Gibraltar and it did not disappoint! We travelled up the rock using the cable car and walked back down. The ride up took around 4 minutes and offered fantastic views. The walking descent allowed us explore the nature reserve and its attractions at our own pace and had some brilliant sights along the way too (but beware of the aching legs the next day!). A Nature Reserve ticket is a must and gave us access to key attractions like St. Michael's Cave and the historic Great Siege Tunnels. You can buy this ticket online or in person at the Cable Car ticket office; the price was the same either way. Throughout our walk, we also found various cafes, gift shops, and plenty of toilet facilities. This allowed us to comfortably spend the entire day on the rock. The views were incredible, stretching out over the sea and into Africa. Be mindful of the Barbary macaques but we found that left alone (and away from food), they were no trouble.

A beautiful place to enjoy the view of the castle.

(Translated by Google) Quiet square before the access street to the Grotto of Wonders. Its sculptures, the old laundry sinks, and the banks with their peculiar tiles stand out. Area with numerous restaurants with terraces. (Original) Tranquila plaza antes de la calle del acceso a la Gruta de las Maravillas. Destacan sus esculturas, los antiguos lavaderos de ropa, los bancos con sus peculiares azulejos. Zona con numerosos restaurantes con terraza.

(Translated by Google) In this square you can see the benches decorated with the things you can see in the Grotto of Wonders (Original) En esta plaza puedes ver los bancos decorados con las cosas que puedes ver en la gruta de las maravillas

(Translated by Google) What's most striking about this place are the benches, which have various motifs related to the Grotto of Wonders. There's also an old public laundry. The place is well preserved and has bars nearby where you can eat. It's definitely a place I recommend visiting. (Original) De este lugar lo que más llama la atención son los bancos que tienen diferentes motivos relacionados con la gruta de las maravillas. También existe una antigua lavandería pública.

(Translated by Google) The Gruta de las Maravillas is, without a doubt, one of Spain's most impressive underground treasures. It doesn't stand out for its size, but it does for the incredible variety of geological formations it houses: stalactites, stalagmites, underground lakes... it has it all! Each room seems like something out of a fairy tale. It's an experience that must be experienced in person, because no photo could capture the beauty hidden underground. And that's part of the dilemma: they don't allow photos or videos during the visit, which can disappoint those who want to share the experience. Upon entering, they take your photo in front of a chroma key that they then try to sell for €10, which feels somewhat forced. Even so, the visit is totally worth it. It's a must-see in Huelva, and a natural gem that will leave you speechless. Ideal for lovers of geology, nature, and unique places. (Original) Las Gruta de las Maravillas es, sin duda, uno de los tesoros subterráneos más impresionantes de España. No destaca por su tamaño, pero sí por la increíble variedad de formaciones geológicas que alberga: estalactitas, estalagmitas, lagos subterráneos… ¡lo tiene todo! Cada sala parece sacada de un cuento fantástico. Es una experiencia que hay que vivir en persona, porque ninguna foto podría capturar la belleza que se esconde bajo tierra. Y eso es parte del dilema: no permiten hacer fotos ni vídeos durante la visita, lo cual puede decepcionar a quienes quieren compartir la experiencia. Al entrar, te hacen una foto frente a un croma que luego intentan vender por 10 €, lo cual se siente algo forzado. Aun así, la visita merece totalmente la pena. Es una parada obligatoria en Huelva, y una joya natural que te deja con la boca abierta. Ideal para amantes de la geología, la naturaleza y los lugares únicos.

The amounts spent on these construction projects are just mind-blowing. And when you remember how many people lost their health or even died there, it gets uncomfortable. 1. Tourists today admire the marble, the gold, the columns—but for someone, all this cost a life. Nobody remembers the names of the workers, though nothing would exist without them. 2. Sometimes I look at these buildings and think: was all this beauty really worth those sacrifices? For some, it’s a symbol of the nation, but for others, it’s years and strength lost. Honestly, I’m always a bit envious of the architects of that time—to plan something on this scale takes real talent. But at the same time, I feel for those who paid for this “eternity” with their health. I can’t feel just one way about it. The architecture is impressive, but the price was enormous. Sometimes you look at a cathedral and realize there’s a heavy shadow behind all that beauty. What about you? Can you just admire places like these, or do you also think about the price?

Sept 2025. Wow! Time was lost as soon as we arrived. Spent a good part of the day just cruising around this gorgeous place and beautiful parks surrounding it. Was easy to walk around, not hoards of tourists (even though i was one haha). The water and bright green flora just popped colour against the majestic architectural marvel that commands its prescence in a humongous semicircle. There are 52 mosaics with tiles representing each province (i didnt count them to check ok). The beautiful Vicente Traver Fountain is in the centre with bridges crossing the canal, good photo opportunities!! It was also a back drop for Star Wars II. Cool. Rent a boat and bob around the small canals for something a bit different, you may spot some fish swimming happily underneath and ducks nurturing their babies, cute as. Part of the building is used by government institutions too. There were some VERY talented musicians playing underneath/amongst the super grand stairways leading up to some great viewpoints. And when you're done with all the beauty of this place, you can check out a couple of stalls out the front, then walk and embark on another adventure, the grand parks and grounds surrounding this place emersed with its own history and beauty. Great place for fitness and many people running, cycling, walking and chilling. My advice, don't skip this place, its a feast for the soul ;)

Oh my goodness. This is an absolute must to see. Worth coming to Seville just to see this. It's absolutely stunning and photos cannot do it justice. As you walk around it, you get to see yet another photo you just have to take. Can't recommend this more. Also, next to it resides a stunning park with lots of interesting structures or features interspersed within it. I recommend doing a zigzag walk through it to find them all. Made for a very satesfying day

Visited Plaza de España in Seville early in the morning in October 2025 to beat the crowds. Built in the 1920s, it features stunning semi-circular architecture blending Spanish Renaissance and Moorish styles, with colorful tiles, fountains, canals, and ornate bridges—truly a photogenic and iconic landmark. When we visited, the canal was dry, but when filled, visitors can row boats along the curved canal for a unique view of the bridges and colonnades. Horse-drawn carriage rides around the plaza and nearby Parque de María Luisa offer a classic, leisurely way to explore the area. We also saw a couple of locals selling souvenirs on the ground. A must-see when visiting Seville!

Loved this Planet Naboo scenery in Seville (Star Wars fan here). It is breathtakingly beautiful and one rarely gets to see something of this scale in real-life. It is simply majestic to visit.

The Plaza de España is one of the most beautiful squares I have ever seen. The majestic central palace blends seamlessly with the serene water canal, creating a truly breathtaking scene. In front of the square, there is a charming garden that adds even more to the beauty of the place. You can also admire the detailed mosaics, each one depicting the history of a different Spanish city—a wonderful way to explore the country’s heritage in one spot. Best of all, the entrance is free, and I highly recommend visiting if you come to Seville.

Magnificent! A simply amazing place to visit. Nobody wouldn't like the beautiful architectures and the smart designs. It really deserves the name of "Plaza de España", it truly shows how grand an empire was and how brilliant the people were. Visited twice, both in the morning and the evening, and both breathtakingly beautiful. I really like the fountain, not a big fan of the horse carts though. In general really a landmark and nice place you wouldn't want to miss when in Seville.

The Cathedral of Seville is an architectural wonder that perfectly captures the layered history of the city. Built on the site of an old Almohad mosque, it still preserves traces of its Islamic past, especially in the Patio de los Naranjos, where orange trees line the courtyard once used for ablution before prayer. The blending of Gothic grandeur with remnants of Moorish design gives the cathedral a unique identity that reflects centuries of cultural transformation. Inside, the scale and beauty are breathtaking. The golden main altar is one of the most impressive in the world, covered in intricate carvings that seem to glow under the light. The Giralda Tower, originally a minaret, remains a stunning symbol of Islamic architectural genius, and climbing it rewards you with panoramic views over Seville. The tomb of Christopher Columbus adds a fascinating historical dimension, connecting Seville to the broader story of exploration and empire. This visit was smooth and enjoyable. I bought my ticket online, and it was very affordable. I even entered before my designated time slot without any issue. The atmosphere at the entrance was more relaxed compared to other major landmarks. My friend who lives in Seville was able to enter for free at any time without a designated time slot.

We visited the Cathedral of Virgin Mary, popularly known as the Cathedral de Sevilla as a part of a small group guided tour. The guide Martha was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. The cathedral itself has much signs of Islamic influence when compared to its counterpart in Cordoba. But its a stunning structure nonetheless & covers a huge area. The golden altar, the magnificent choir, the tomb of Christopher Columbus, his son and the famed Bell Tower, Giralda were some of the highlights. I would highly recommend this attraction to visitors to this beautiful city.

Very lovely cathedral with lots to read about ! You do need to be modest to enter, no exposed shoulders or knees. They do give out blue shawls you can buy before entering so you are not denied entry. You can go to the top of the bell tower which is about 40 or more flights up, but it is a ramp not stairs. Very worth it though ! There’s pockets of balconies you can sit along the way up too. It is in the city in a lovely part of of town, so you can visit other places as well.

Greatly enjoyed Seville and booked our tour through Get your Guide(small group, English speaking)our guide was very user friendly, knowledgeable and professional. There were many tours going on, but we never stalled out waiting to get in or waiting to get into a specific room, she knew her stuff and timed our coming and going appropriately. Worth every penny!

An absolutely magnificent cathedral — truly breathtaking in size, detail, and history. The interior is stunning, with beautiful altars, artwork, and impressive architecture throughout. Climbing the Giralda Tower is a must — the views over Seville are incredible and worth every step. Everything was well organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A masterpiece of Gothic design and one of the most memorable landmarks in Spain. Highly recommend visiting!

Seville Cathedral is breathtaking — its sheer size and intricate details leave you in awe. The views from La Giralda tower make the climb completely worth it. Tickets are reasonably priced, but it’s best to book online in advance to skip the long queues. The combo ticket with La Giralda tower access is definitely worth it for the full experience.

Seville Cathedral left me absolutely awestruck. It’s vast, luminous, and genuinely majestic—every corner feels steeped in history and craftsmanship. The soaring Gothic vaults make you lose your sense of scale, and the details—from the carved choir to the side chapels—are mesmerizing. Do not skip La Giralda. It’s a must to buy tickets that include the tower so you can see Seville from a true bird’s-eye view—the panorama is unforgettable and worth every step. Visitor flow is well organized, signage is clear, and even with crowds it feels calm inside. If you have time, grab the audio guide; it brings the art and architecture to life with great context. Bottom line: an absolute must-visit in Seville. Powerful, moving, and unforgettable. I highly recommend it.##HistoryShorts

Legendary building in Sevilla This is a beautiful tower in Andalusia. Part of the BIG 3 you have to do, with the Mezquita, the Giralda and obviously l'Alhambra. The Giralda is a beautiful tower sitting right in the town centre or the old town. It is a fabulous building and looks really grand. It can obviously be visited but you really need to book for this like most impressive sites in Spain. Highly recommended we really enjoyed it!

We visited on a weekday afternoon and had to line up several times — first to get in, then again for audio guides, and finally to enter La Giralda. The tower is well laid out, with around 35 ramps and rest stops along the way for those who need them. Most people should be able to make the climb without too much trouble. However, it was extremely crowded. The path is narrow, so you go up and down in a single file, often shoulder to shoulder with others. Once at the top, you line up again just to get a view out of each window, and there are fences that make it hard to get a clear look. There didn’t seem to be any real crowd control at the top, which really took away from the experience. If you’re claustrophobic, I’d skip this part. There are plenty of other great spots in Seville to see panoramic views of the city. The cathedral itself was much more enjoyable — there were clear signs and pamphlets explaining the art and architecture. That said, unless you get the audio guide, there’s not much context provided about the tower itself.

La Giralda is a former Muslim minaret transformed into a church bell tower, symbolizing the fascinating transition from one culture to another. The construction itself is magnificent, a true masterpiece of architecture. Be prepared for a bit of a workout—the climb to the top can be challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it. The panoramic views of Seville from above are breathtaking. I highly recommend this unforgettable experience.

The area encompassing the open area next to the Seville Cathedral and surroundings. The history is amazing. There is a large sistern below the outdoor open area enclosed by the walls of the Giralda. This was essential for providing clean cool water to the town in antiquity. The Guadalquivir River was likely not the best place to get drinking water due to the number of upstream towns and villages likely dumping sewer into the river.

The tour is about 35 ramps with only steps at the end so easier to manage for old and young. Originally it was so guards on horseback could ride to the top. It was totally busy at 4 pm on a Monday in October. Tickets in advance are necessary unless it’s really off season. Shoulders must be covered and anyone showing up in a tank top could buy a wrap for 3€. They said legs should be covered to the knees but there were plenty of shorts that they didn’t make an issue of.

Giralda is the tower of the Sevilla Cathedral. It has no steps, just a continuous ramp up to the top, which makes it very easy to climb. The space is wide for a bell tower. The views from the top are amazing. I bought the tickets online, so there was no waiting for us.

The interior of this cathedral was very ornate with beautiful gold sculptures. I bought a ticket for a smaller Church nearby which included a ticket to the cathedral. This allowed me to bypass the very long line to buy tickets at the cathedral. The other church was nice too.

Make sure you book at least one to two weeks in advance — it fills up fast, and with good reason. The Alcázar is absolutely breathtaking. The detail in the architecture is something else — arches, tiles, carvings, gardens… it’s a living masterpiece. The Mudejar style (that blend of Islamic and Christian design) gives it such a layered, soulful feel. You can really feel the history here — not just see it. We decided to book the 8:30am VIP tour with GetYourGuide, and it was one of the best decisions of our trip. No queues, no chaos — we were inside before the heat and the crowds. Anna, our guide, was phenomenal. So passionate, informed, and completely in love with the place — her energy brought it all to life. Worth every single cent. Go early, go with a guide, and take it all in slowly.

The Royal Alcazar of Seville is a beautiful palace & garden in the centre of the historic old town centre of Seville. Architecture & art from the 11th century are on display - from the Andalusian era, Gothic from the time of Alfonso X, & Mudejar from the time of Pedro I. The carved plaster & stone wall friezes, colourful geometric wall tiles, & Mudejar painted & copper covered mahogany wooden ceilings are exquisite. The formal gardens are extensive & offer glimpses of water pools & fountains, amongst trees & sculptured hedges. Booking in advance is essential, & allow up to 3 hours for the visit. There is a really nice cafe in the garden, serving drinks, cakes, & light snacks, & this is reasonably priced. This is a world heritage site for good reason - this is truly a world class historic attraction. 10/10.

We spent an entire afternoon visiting this his historic royal palace. We enjoyed meandering through the rooms and admiring the art and architecture. The gardens outside were so beautiful and offered additional views of the exterior architecture. We walked, sat, and admired the beauty all around us.

Honestly, the place is pure magic. I’ve seen countless pictures, but nothing prepared me for how breathtaking it is in person. The sheer amount of detail in the architecture is incredible, and you can see so much history in the different styles. The gardens are a whole other level—they're huge and so beautiful, with hidden corners and fountains everywhere. It’s the perfect escape from the city heat. I could have happily spent the entire day just wandering through them. My biggest recommendation, especially if you're visiting in the summer, is to pre-book your tickets online. Seriously, don't even think about showing up to buy them on the day. The lines can be absolutely brutal, and you'll spend a ton of time waiting in the heat. Booking online gets you a specific time slot and lets you skip the main queue, so you can head straight to security and start exploring right away. It's the best way to make sure you get in and make the most of your visit without any stress.

Amazing palace and gardens. Don't just go there during the day. The light show Naturaleza Encendida in the evenings (Oct till March, I think) is well worth the separate ticket too (dress well, it's much more chilly inside the gardens than outside in the streets).

Nice building. Beautiful architecture and gardens. Everything is beautiful, but I wasn't blown away by it. I'm not sure why, and think it's either personal preference or my mood that day. I wish more places included arrows or maps because we nearly missed a lot of what there is to see.

Interesting to see a castle transition from Muslim to Christian nobility. Very few people venture far into the gardens, so peaceful. While the tickets are timed, you can show up to 30 minutes after the selected time. If after your selected time, you can just walk in without the line. The free audio guide is good, although you have to skip through advertising for the paid version.

This a beautiful town, superbly maintained and kept to what seems its traditional heritage. The different coloured flowers on each street add to its charm and the number of pavement cafes and restaurants make it a place to easily linger. A walk along the promenade to the port will take you past beachside eateries and bars to a spot where on the right day there’s a lively market, on the hill above which is the bull ring. Very well worth a visit.

Charming town. Very nice place to wander about for an afternoon.

A really nice cozy place to be in all year long mostly. There’s a lot of restaurants and bars to choose from. Plus you can walk to the beach boulevard and have a very nice walk by the beach.

Very nice for a walk. I am pretty sure is very crowded during season, but the houses are nice

Very nice town

Nice place to walk with family Try to be here before 8 to find parking easier

You should visit this place
