Like all the Islands El Hierro celebrates Carnival time with three distinct weekends of Carnival in each of three municipalities.
As is the tradition in many countries around the world, the Canarians love to celebrate Carnivals.
June is a wonderful month in Lanzarote: beautiful weather, late spring colour, fresh produce and quieter beaches.
Like many of the Canary Islands, El Hierro celebrates its own unique festival every four years: “La Bajada de La Virgin de Los Reyes”.
The Canarian cuisine varies from Island to Island with each having its own distinct foods.
As the alarm wakes me at 6am on a Saturday morning I am beginning to wonder if I made the right decision to participate in “Mi Isla Fototrek”, the opening event in Fototrek 2016.
Fiesta de la Cruz celebrates the Holy Cross or True Cross
Even if I didn't know what month it was I could tell when carnival on Tenerife is nearly upon us. In my house, about 3km outside Puerto de la Cruz, I can hear the rhythmic beat of drums floating up the valley from comparsas (carnival groups) practicing in the town.
