I am loving the sunshine now it has fully arrived, and hopefully, it is here to stay. We have booked a holiday to France next month, and it will be the first time we have been abroad with Lucas since we went to Fuerteventura which was before he turned one! D and I did have a city break last year in Hamburg, but I’m really looking forward to a relaxing break for all three of us; we have hired a gite with a private pool surrounded by the beautiful Dordogne countryside.
I have had a sneaky peek at whether we could manage a bit of winter sun too and that always leaves me searching the Canary Islands. I have managed to find some fab places to stay in Gran Canaria and cheap holidays to Gran Canaria so I have been researching what there is to keep us occupied once there, other than being complete beach bums for a week, although that doesn’t sound bad haha.
Amy suggested visiting the natural salt waterfall. It sounds like a beautiful hike that takes you through villages of white houses and fruit trees including mango, papaya, banana and orange. Charco Azul is at least 5m deep in the middle. You can dive and swim or climb around the back and sit on the shelf of the pool. If you visit after rain, you will be surrounded by waterfalls.
Helena suggested a trip to the Wild West! Sioux City will show you cowboys driving cattle through the streets, bandits robbing a bank with dynamite and you can share a saloon table with the sheriff. A place designed to ignite the whole families imagination.
Tejeda looks like a stunning place to visit. It is famous for its traditional deserts with almonds. The town is surrounded by valleys and is a tranquil rural retreat where you can rid your body of stress amongst the natural beauty of the mountains, traditional white houses and plants.
I love walking around gardens and would really like to explore Huerto de las Flores which is a tropical Botanic garden home to over 100 species of exotic plants
