Canary Islands Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, just off Morocco in North Africa. Formed by volcanic eruptions and shaped by hot desert winds, they are comprised of 7 main islands.
When powerful seismic forces lifted these islands out of the ocean millions of years ago, they sculpted landscapes of unimaginable beauty. So spectacular are the Canary Islands that for centuries, it was believed that this archipelago formed the peaks of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
Today, the Canary Islands are a magnet for sun seekers, beachcombers and adventurers from all over the world.
With, 160 miles of coastline, 150 beaches and a climate that feels like it is always spring, the island of Fuerteventura is a perfect place to slow down and relax.
A short ferry ride to the west of Fuerteventura is Gran Canaria - a place of ever changing climates and vistas.
This island abounds with otherworldly landscapes that have been inspiring visitors for centuries. Take a hike to Pilancones Natural Park. The spectacular plateaus and cool ravines in this area are around 12 million years old.
Tenerife, is the largest and busiest of the Canary Islands, receiving around 5 million visitors a year.
Or, choose to visit Lanzarote is the Canaries’ easternmost island and is sometimes called the “Island of 100 Volcanoes.”
Be humbled by Mother Nature’s destructive power on a tour of Timanfaya National Park. This region suffered a series of devastating eruptions in the 1700s and has remained largely unchanged ever since.
No matter which of these magnificent islands you choose, as the sun’s molten rays merge the ocean with the earth, you’ll realise this is a place where Mother Nature and history collide.
The mythical city of Atlantis may be a story, lost in the mists of time, but the Canary Islands are only a plane ride away. Whether you are searching for dramatic adventures or a sun-soaked vacation, this archipelago is alive with a powerful magic all its own.

Our visit Venice travel guide covers some of the top attractions including a food guide to local Italian food, top sightseeing tourist attractions and the city by day and by night including visiting cathedrals, canals, ruins and islands. We cover activities you won't find in a typical Venice tourism brochure, Venice itinerary or Venice, Italy city tour also known as Venezia Italia.
20 Things to do in Venice, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (VENEZIA ITALIA):
We’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Venice in winter visiting the famed Floating City. Join us as we show you the best things to see, do and eat in Venice.
The Vaporetto is Venice’s water bus service. The standard ticket is 7.50 Euros and valid for 60 minutes, the 1 day pass is 20 Euros and valid for 24 hours.
The most visited attraction in Venice: Piazza San Marco where there is quite a bit to see and do around the square beginning with St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Campanile, a tall brick bell tower was once used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home where you get great views of the city.
Then you have the Doge’s Palace, which was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the former Republic of Venice built in the Venetian Gothic style.
Don't forget the Bridge of SIghs, whose name refers to the sighs of prisoners who would get their last glimpse of Venice as they were led from Doge's Palace to their cells.
Across to the other side of the Grand Canal, you have the Basilica of Saint Mary of Health and the Galleria dell’Accademia in case you’re in the mood for art.
A restaurant we really enjoyed La Zucca - a place where all the dishes are made with pumpkin! The Rialto Market specializes in produce and fresh seafood for self-catering.
Let’s talk about island hopping in Venice:
Founded in the 5th century, Torcello is even older than Venice and was the original settlement in the Venetian Lagoon with lots of walking paths, nature and Byzantine mosaics.
Burano is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to browse.
Mazzorbo island sits next to Burano and is connected by a bridge while being known for its vineyards and orchards.
Murano is renowned for its glass production dating back to 1291 when the glassmakers in Venice were forced to relocate by the Venetian government.
Lido is an 11-kilometre sandbar island that shelters the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea with beaches, lots of seaside homes, and this is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place.
A restaurant we liked in Venice is Osteria Mocenigo specializing in local cuisine. Try the “Sarde in saor” - a typical Venetian dish made with sardines.
While your vaporetto pass is valid ride the canals at night and watch the Floating City come to life.
We hope you enjoyed this Venice travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas for your own trip.

St. Lucia Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K 60fps)
Floating like an emerald teardrop between the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is the island nation of St Lucia.
For centuries the original Arawak and Carib made their homes around the islands northern bays. In the 1550s, the notorious buccaneer, Peg Leg Le Clerc, became the first European to settle here.
After the pirates came the plantations, and the bittersweet years of sugar and slavery. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, St Lucia was pulled back and forth between the French and British, before finally gaining her independence in 1979.
Right in the heart of the capital, Castries, the main square pays tribute to two of the island’s Nobel Prize winning sons. Just across from the park, visit the basilica, filled with murals that blend the colours and traditions of Africa, the Caribbean and the West.
At the Central Market, taste the fruits of this island’s volcanic soil, enjoy real St Lucian home cooking, and browse crafts made by local hands. The creation story continues at Eudovik’s Art Studio, where master carvers transform tree roots into sensual works of art.
The sleepy French colonial town, Soufriere, is cradled by some of the island’s greatest natural treasures. Just a short boat ride away is one island’s finest resort beaches, Anse Chastanet. While nestled between the two volcanic spires of Gros and Petit Piton, is one of the west coast’s most secluded hideaways, Sugar Beach.

Filmagens e Temas:
Ronda - Reconhecida por seu desfiladeiro profundo, a pitoresca vila caiada de Ronda preservou seu encanto como uma vila rural da Andaluzia. O rio Guadalevín divide o centro da cidade e é atravessado por uma impressionante ponte alta, com vista para o vasto campo. Esta localização pitoresca no topo da falésia impediu uma expansão significativa e manteve as coisas tranquilas. A tradição é muito profunda aqui, pois Ronda foi o berço das touradas modernas e abriga uma das praças mais importantes do país. Continuação...Pesquisar no site: (Fonte de Pesquisa) Mais Informações:
Zahara - Zahara de la Sierra, que fica na província de Cadiz, pode-se descrever em poucas palavras como um lugar de tirar o fôlego. É certamente um dos lugares mais pitorescos de todo o conjunto dos Pueblos Blancos (as típicas aldeias brancas) da Sierra de Grazalema, se não mesmo da Andaluzia inteira. A apenas a 45 minutos de Ronda, e a quase duas horas de Málaga, esta é uma das mais remotas aldeias da famosa rota dos Pueblos Blancos. Visite Zahara como último destino do seu roteiro turístico e tenha um fim de viagem absolutamente espectacular e inesquecível. Continuação...Pesquisar no site: (Fonte de Pesquisa)
Córdoba - É o local perfeito para quem adora combinar história, cultural e uma boa gastronomia. A cidade fica ao sul da Espanha, na região da Andaluzia a pouco menos de duas horas de Madrid, para quem está viajando via trem. É difícil achar outra região espanhola com uma história cultural tão rica e uma geografia tão diversa quanto a Andaluzia. Os romanos, árabes e os Reis Cristãos já passaram pela região.

Espejo - Município localizado a sudeste da província, no campo, em terra de olivais, cereais e vinhas. A cidade, fundada no início do século XIV, é referenciado e origem do castelo, criado em uma colina alongada, com vista para toda a população estende-se a seus pés em um labirinto de ruas íngremes e arrumado com casas caiadas de tipo popular . Perto do castelo fica a Igreja de San Bartolomé. De acordo com Menendez Pidal e outros pesquisadores, a população atual corresponde ao Ucubi dos ibéricos, que mais tarde latinizada seu nome em Attubi e que, como recompensa por sua atitude na guerra civil, César fez colônia imunológico . Continuação...Pesquisar no site: (Fonte de Pesquisa)
Montefrío - O poder visual da paisagem e arquitetura de Montefrío são impressionantes. A imponente estrutura monumental que forma a fortaleza árabe e a Iglesia de la Villa, localizada no topo de uma rocha, são impressionantes. Além disso, Montefrío está situado em um local de diversidade natural. Da estrada que liga Montefrío a Íllora, você pode acessar a Peña de los Gitanos , uma rocha natural que faz fronteira ao sul com a Serra de Parapanda. Continuação...Pesquisar no site: (Fonte de Pesquisa)
Granada - É sem dúvida uma das cidades mais importantes da Espanha. Além de ter uma excelente Universidade fundada no século XVI, é importante destino turístico devido às inúmeras atrações da cidade, principalmente a deslumbrante Alhambra. A cidade, que foi o último refúgio dos mouros antes de serem expulsos no século XV, foi alvo de constantes ataque de Napoleão em 1812, e quase foi destruída. Hoje em dia, viajar para Granada é essencial para conhecer mais sobre a história da Europa e as guerras contras os povos vindos da África.

Dubai Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Come to Dubai, the ancient City of Gold, for your next vacation.
Modernity and antiquity collide in this vibrant city. Shop at the same spice market locals have been visiting for generations, then visit the stores in the Gold Souk, a jewelry-centered traditional marketplace. For a more modern shopping experience, go to the Dubai Mall, home to over 1200 stores, an underwater zoo, and KidZania®, a “city” where children can roleplay various careers.
To soak up some of the legendary Dubai sunshine, simply step outside. Take in the view of the city from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Continue your Dubai tour by wandering through the exotic buildings and resorts, or visit some of the public beaches. If you’d like to try something a little different and don’t mind paying a small fee, you can also attend local hotel beaches even if you aren’t staying there.
You can’t finish your Dubai sightseeing without a trip into the desert itself. Ride a camel, go sandboarding, or just stand out on the dunes and marvel at the beauty of it all.
