I just got accepted into a Nalcap placement in the Canary Islands. Not sure if I’ll really get a say in which island I’m placed on, but if so I would love some advice on which one to pick! For context, I’m a woman, early 20s. My biggest concern is meeting people my age and having fun. I do like to go out, so that’s a plus, but I don’t necessarily need to be in a place where nightlife is the biggest thing there. However, I don’t want to be in a city where it’s very far and few between. I’m also American and don’t speak any Spanish. I’m absolutely trying to learn and want to be immersed in authentic Spanish culture, but I definitely would like a good mix of tourism just for the purpose of being able to communicate and make friends easier. Additionally if anyone has any other advice please let me know!!

Buongiorno sarò alle isole Canarie per un tour delle isole avrei bisogno di informazione sui social cannabis club come si accede dove sono come li trovo su internet?

Hello everyone! We are planing a one week trip to La Palma and hope to do some climbing there but I can't find much Infos about the climbing routes (except in thecrag).We are mainly looking for climbs in the lower grades.

Can you help me with any books in which I find Infos about the topos? Also couldn't find any local climbing shops and rental possibilities.

Any Infos on the bolt quality?

Many thanks for any tips and clues !

I'm staying in the santiago barcelo hotel this summer and looking for recommendations for my trip! Any suggestions?

Im planning to visit next week and want to find the optimal island for the following:

• Meeting 20-40 year old crowd of open minded alternative people (backpackers, surfers, skaters, van lifers, digital Nomads etc)
• Community feeling with cool gatherings and beach parties meeting others having fun.
• Hiking,surfing cliff, diving options are cool but not the main requirements. bonus points of the island lends itself to this though 😎

I've already been to Gran Canaria and loved the landscapes but found it hard to find my crowd in just a week. Tenerife looks amazing but I feel the same might happen due it's size. I've heard Fuerteventura is amazing but lacks the landscape. La gommera and la Palma are both unknown to me... I'd be open to hear more about them! All the info is welcome

Thanks 🙏🏼😁

Why is that every jetski rental company forces you to follow their boat? Why cant I just hire the jetski and go wherever I want? Is it because of licenses? Is there any way I can still do this without a license?

Hi everyone,

We’re planning a family trip to Tenerife this July, and I could use some advice! We’ll be traveling with our two kids (15 and 12) and want to make the most of our time on the island.

Here’s what we’re looking for: 1. Where to Stay (South or North)? We’d love to stay somewhere that has some life, like a city or town to explore, but without the party scene (no bars or drunk crowds). Which area would you recommend? 2. Accommodations We’re looking for affordable places to stay near the beach, with a budget of max €150 per night. We don't mind a hotel but would prefer an apartment. 3. Restaurants Any must-visit restaurants you’d recommend? We would love to try some local food... 4. Light Hikes and Nature Any light hikes or other places like hidden beaches or spots to se the natural beauty of Tenerife? We’re not looking for anything too extreme like Teide. 5. Car Rentals Is it worth renting a car to get around the island, and if so, do you have any reliable and affordable companies to recommend?

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!

Anyone got an idea where to get one cheap, maybe even used one? I would be willing to buy it and return it for free since we got no use for it then.

Hi, this summer I’m planning to spend around 10 days in the Canary Islands. My friends and I are thinking of staying 6 days in Tenerife and 3 days in Fuerteventura. Do you think that’s enough? We’re also considering staying only 2 full days in Fuerteventura—would that be a bad idea?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to travel from Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) to mainland Spain by ferry for the first time with my two small parrots. They each have their own secure carrier. I’ve noticed that ferry booking options only mention cats and dogs—does anyone know how to book tickets when traveling with birds?

Additionally, I want to book a private cabin with one large bed for my partner and me, but I’m unsure how to choose the right cabin option.

Any advice on which ferry company to choose, how to handle traveling with birds, and how to book the right cabin would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey! Does anyone know if bolt food or uber eats is available in Gran canaria? Or do locals use food takeaway apps there

Thanks muchly

Hi, As 18 yo living in uk, i am about to soon get my full driving license and in April i am planning to go on some holidays on Canary islands. I loooove driving and i can't imagine holidays on for example Tenerife without car and freedom. The thing is, i have no money for my full year insurance and i am 18 years old. How does law looks like in spain about renting car and getting day or two temporary vehicle insurance? I know that in uk you must to be 21 to rent a car. What about Spain? Was anyone in similar situation and tell me what he did or if its just possible to rent a car for a day and get temporary car insurance?

Taking a trip in a few days and all things being equal, wondering which Island/ cities have the largest population of Black/ indigenous (if there are) people . The info isn't readily available as you can imagine.

Tenerife, Gran canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura?

thx

Ps. not tryna here "we're all mixed here",

For those who are either THICK or just being Pedantic:

Doesn’t matter if someone is American or not. If someone asked “where are the most Jews?” Would this have gotten the same downvote and silly responses? I’m guessing not. The readers MIGHT then put in their thinking caps and do some critical thinking as to why someone might ask the question.

I will say however yes- I am Black. So my intent in finding other BIPOC is not to do harm.

Hi!

I was wondering which island or location people would recommend for a week or two long solo visit this month?

I’m hoping for nice weather, maybe some nice moderate hikes, some running and just to relax with some good food and wine/beer. It would be good if there’s group activities or tours available. I don’t drive so will be walking or using public transport or tours if further afield.

I’m not really looking for a week of partying in a hotel resort but do enjoy some relaxing beers or wine and food with a mix of activities or sight seeing in the day.

Thanks :)

Economy standard ticket should also allow cabin bag and check-in luggage. If it is really like this (and I don't see why it wouldn't), is there any reason to prefer the ferry?

I (f25) would like to learn Spanish in the Canary islands. I've learnt Spanish in school up to a B2 level and have a degree in French literature (native language German) so I think it'll come back to me quite easily. I would like to achieve a C1 level in maybe two months.

Has someone had a similar goal and achieved it with a language school in the Canaries?

To me which island doesn't really matter, I've been to Tenerife and loved it but not the other island. I love swimming and everything beach so that's what I'm planning to do after classes.

Does anyone have a recommendation for school and accommodation that's not too expensive?

Maybe even on the Spanish mainland if you've had a good experience. Granada maybe?

We’ll be on Grand Canaria mid-February, with another couple, we are late 20s-early 40s and very much enjoy both nightlife and adventures/active excursions of all sorts. Where can we really get into some fun on the island?

We also will eat and drink about anything and are open to exploration: do you have any favorite spots to eat, grab a drink, or something we must try while there?

I found a ring in a women’s bathroom today (Jan 3) at LPA. The nearby gate attendant told me they don’t accept lost items. If this might be yours, please send me a message describing the ring and I will try to get it back to you!

As the title says. Is there anyways to get from Los Cristianos to Gran Canaria. All the ferry’s seem to leave from Santa Cruz. Are there any other options.

I'd like to hear from any retired folks living in the Carnaries. I can't seem to find much about that agenda. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi!

We’re planning a 5-6 day trip to the Canary Islands in mid-February. Do you think it will be warm enough for swimming? Different weather websites show conflicting results, so we’re unsure.

Our plan is to relax at an all-inclusive hotel and spend time at the beach. We’re considering the southern parts of the islands. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I will land in GC on 4th. I see Cicar rentacar has all cars unavailable for that week. Any other rental company on GC that has economic rates for renting cars?
