their bitterness Charco del Viento is a popular spot during sunny summer days Known for its unique beauty and clear waters it's a favoured location among locals for a seaside swim Set in the historic centre of San Juan de la Rambla Charco de La Laja is perfect for a peaceful swim in clear waters and visiting during weekdays is recommended for a more serene experience Garachico is home to several

tonight in response to the arrival of Storm Olivier which is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds across the island The alert follows warnings from the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) predicting intense showers of 15–30 mm per hour all recreational and camping areas managed by the Cabildo will be closed and access to forest tracks and hiking trails especially those affected by the 2023 wildfire access to key trails within Teide National Park has been suspended and all canyoning activities across the island are temporarily banned The Canary Islands Government’s Directorate General for Emergencies has issued several weather alerts under the Canary Islands Emergency Plan for Adverse Meteorological Phenomena (PEFMA) The emergency declaration was agreed upon during a meeting today (Tuesday) involving the Island Councillor for the Environment alongside government technicians and representatives of Tenerife’s 31 municipalities The Cabildo has coordinated with local authorities to ensure preparedness in flood-prone areas and to communicate necessary restrictions has called on the public to remain cautious the following measures have been put in place: The Cabildo emphasises that these measures are essential for ensuring public safety during the adverse weather conditions expected over the coming days A DANA (Isolated High-Level Depression) in the Canary Islands will leave heavy rains this weekend throughout the archipelago the north of Tenerife suffered ‘substantial’ rainfall yesterday (Friday) and even some hail in the municipality of San Juan de la Rambla as can be seen in a video posted on Twitter the Operational Coordination Center of the Santa Cruz City Council (CECOPAL) reported a large landslide in Casas de la Cumbre in Anaga Several trees also fell over and affected power lines are only expected to be affected in the north but storms are forecast today in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura where rain will be more intense AEMET says that it will ease off later this afternoon and clear up tomorrow (Sunday) with just some light showers expected as even with this atmospheric phenomenon highs are forecast to rise slightly this weekend into the high 20s the current level of Tenerife's reservoirs is 20% lower than in 2023 which was already critical for agricultural water supply during the summer season Last week’s rain barely raised the levels stood at 46.7% compared to 40.5% the previous month the serious part is that it represents 20% less than the same period in 2023 who manage the reservoirs in Tenerife are preparing for a difficult summer ahead "We have recovered some storage volume but the situation remains concerning," acknowledges its manager Not all of the reserves are in the same situation as some are at a more severe level than others The ones in the most alarming state are those located in the middle of the La Orotava Valley namely the Aguamansa and La Cruz Santa reservoirs in Los Realejos the demand for irrigation water has greatly increased due to the lack of rain and the type of crops in the area "Each system has different contributions and demands and we can even differentiate between the north and south slopes but all are considered to be at critical levels," she said The exceptions are the Taco Mountain reservoirs in Buenavista according to Balten's records for the last month it was practically empty until mid-last year and it was necessary to resort to desalinated water as a measure to cope with the summer but water quality is low due to its high salinity index The climatic situation does not seem to be favourable in the near future to achieve adequate storage levels to guarantee problem-free supply Balten is analysing urgent actions to incorporate new resources into the different systems "This involves recovering reclaimed water in places where there is production trying to reuse water that is treated on a regional scale," explains Sánchez "efforts are being made to improve the quality of reclaimed water transferred from the Santa Cruz wastewater treatment plant and to implement actions to put into operation the new treatment plants This year about 20 bonfires will be lit in Barcelona for Sant Joan night and dozens of street parties are organized Although the tradition has been maintained hundreds of bonfires burned Barcelona during the Revetlla de Sant Joan compared to the twenty that are authorized this 2024 of burning the old and celebrating the arrival of summer According to anthropologist Manuel Delgado it was the kids who for weeks collected the wood and junk to make them The gangs would go through the streets and hide the material they found from the firefighters and the Guardia Urbana so they could burn it during the Revetlla Although there is less and less of that spontaneous Barcelona with groups of grandmothers sitting in chairs in the middle of the street gossiping about salseos neighborhood because there are scheduled about 50 Revetlles de Sant Joan around the city not counting the bonfires and the gresca i xerinola that is organized around it in order not to lose the tradition and continue claiming the popular festivals and public space as a community meeting point we tell you where you can still enjoy this party that celebrates with fire the shortest day of the year what will the weather be like during the night of Sant Joan On Friday and Saturday the maximum temperatures will be around 27º it will rain and temperatures will drop to 24º Barcelona’s public transport will have some special services so that moving anywhere in the city will not be a problem Metro services will open throughout the night without interruption and streetcars will do the same at intervals of between 15 and 30 minutes will reinforce some NitBus lines in order to accommodate a greater number of passengers such as Ferrocarrils and Renfe Cercanías will maintain their usual schedules As explained by the Barcelona City Council, in 1955 Francesc Pujades, a resident of North Catalonia (France), inspired by the poem Canigó had the idea of lighting the fires of San Juan at the top of the mountain and spread the flame everywhere the Flama del Canigó leaves the Castellet of Perpignan climbs to the top of Canigó and lights a bonfire that serves to light a bonfire with which volunteers will light lanterns that will spread the flame throughout the Catalan territory on horseback… the Flame travels in a thousand different ways to arrive on time to the squares of the different Catalan towns and light the bonfires of San Juan thus mixing two traditions to celebrate the solstice and the union of the Catalan people Remember as the saying goes: qui encén foc per Sant Joan So whether you believe in these ancient superstitions or not we bring you all the bonfires that will burn in Barcelona 2024: Beyond the verbenas and neighborhood bonfires, one of the most common traditions is to celebrate Sant Joan on the beach. This year will be no different, but a rule that was initiated during the pandemic will be maintained: the chiringuitos will not be allowed to set up their own parties, so any celebration of the Sant Joan verbena on the beach will have to take place outside of them. In addition, to ensure safety and cleanliness, the beaches of Barcelona will be vacated at 6:30 am. View this post on Instagram Yes with high auditory sensitivity or simply who do not like loud noise This is not to say that they don’t want to celebrate this holiday but that the roar of some firecrackers is the element that limits their fun which last year inaugurated the first silent and low noise firecracker stand in Barcelona La Traca defends that although its pyrotechnics are silent and luminous is no less fun than traditional firecrackers Their booths are located on Avenida Meridiana with Calle Zamora and Via Favencia 441 and their firecrackers are either silent Tenerife's

Also visit the Anaga National Park and these 2 beaches Roques De La Bodega and Benijio." (Image: Getty Images)Tucked away in Tenerife's northern region are hidden gems such as Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the areas of La Laguna, Puerto de la Cruz, Icod de Los Vinos, Los Reyes, Garachico, and San Juan de la Rambla. Less frequented by tourists than their southern counterparts, these locations offer a genuine peek into the lives of the island’s residents. Families looking for an authentic experience praised these spots on Trip Advisor. One traveller praised Playa de la Las Terisitas as the premier beach in the north, noting: "It is a very large beach with African Saharan sand, but we choose to sit at the sunset on the volcanic black warm rocks. "You find here restroom facilities, few changing rooms, sunbeds from 2.5 (late autumn) to 6 euros. "Wonderful views from cliffs in the background, lots of trees, palm trees here and there for shade if you so desire, we found the beach itself was very clean and the water clear. To swim there is very nice and not dangerous, which is very pleasant and safe, especially for kids. "The view is great on one side like in advertising pictures, with the Anaga mountains surrounding the beach." Another person recommended visiting Valle de la Orotava. The poster said: "It hosts beautiful gardens, great viewpoints and spectacular buildings and in particular balconies. El Balcones is a must to visit."

representing the last days in the life of Jesus throughout the streets of each town carrying enormous “tronos” bearing sculptural representations adorned with flowers to the beat of drums as the parades pass through the crowds Semana Santa in Alhama is a relatively intimate event with over 50 impressive “pasos” (the figures and tableaux paraded through the streets) belonging to 5 Cofradías (brotherhoods) and the streets are the perfect width to create an intimate and spiritual atmosphere comfortably accommodating the passing tronos without crushing the onlookers Alhama possesses some truly beautiful sculptures and great care is taken of them so that they are among the best-dressed in the Region The floral decorations are spectacular and throughout the week the atmosphere is warm and welcoming The flowers are especially prominent on Easter Sunday joy and scent at the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ Although the atmosphere of each day is slightly different

have spectacularly assaulted the island range from being not as bad as expected to being described as Delta 2 Instead of our usual week’s round up of the news in Tenerife Tenerife Magazine reports on the terrifying and destructive sequence of events over the last couple of days As Sunday progressed with no real sign of any extreme weather conditions it began to seem as though the island had escaped the worst ““ it turned out to be an almost clichéd calm before the storm Despite the storm arriving from a south easterly direction the southern coast escaped the full force of the wind as did many other parts of the island; instead it focused its malevolent power on northern slopes especially around Puerto de la Cruz and Los Realejos where winds raged throughout the night reaching terrifying speeds of 145kmh in Puerto de la Cruz (Delta’s winds reached 147kmh at the coast) and 190kmh at Izaña on Tenerife’s cumbre Injuries have thankfully on the whole been minor At present there is only one report of a serious injury caused by an iron door falling on a man in Los Realejos By 3pm on Monday afternoon the red alert was reduced to orange Although this meant that winds could reach 90kmh nature’s assault on Tenerife hasn’t officially been allocated a name recognising that this was a storm of Delta’s magnitude Thankfully Andresito has had enough of Tenerife and has moved on elsewhere Let’s hope he doesn’t return for a long Co-author of 'Real Tenerife Island Drives' & 'Going Native in Tenerife' Input your search keywords and press Enter Rings of Powers’ filming locations bring Middle-earth’s battles and diverse cultures to life in the rather gorgeous-looking Prime Video TV series With Rings of Power Season 2 arriving to immerse us once more in Lord of the Rings‘ world

scenes you might recognize from those locales Rings of Power Season 1 was filmed in New Zealand Season 1 took note from the original Peter Jackson trilogy Recognizable for The Shire as well as the lush mountainous environments seen throughout the Lord of the Rings movies Much interior production took place at Auckland Film Studios Its website explains that it’s part of the “thriving entertainment industry on the doorstep of diverse urban settings and breath-taking natural landscapes.” Interior scenes in Season 1 were shot there on soundstages (the scenes with Galadriel and Halbrand at sea were done in a massive water tank) while natural New Zealand countryside complimented sequences that took place outdoors “Two actors started crying when they got to the top — they were so overwhelmed.” Season 2 packed up and headed for the UK instead This was reportedly due to logistical problems present by the country’s strict COVID-19 policies Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 5

They were used in place of in place of Rhûn‘s desert landscapes The town of San Juan de la Rambla hosted the crew for five weeks in Rings of Power used North Island’s Denize Bluffs in Mangaotaki Valley It’s private land but has large rock formations and caves that fit what location scouts were looking for This location was also the Trollshaw Forest in The Hobbit movies The exteriors of the dwarven realm Khazad-dûm were shot at Earnslaw Burn This is another spot used by The Hobbit trilogy and is one of the locations you can visit on tours The Ostirith tower was placed onto Fiordland National Park’s Lake Quill The VFX department used CGI to place the tower on its rolling hills The forest fire that started today at 10:19 a.m so the Government of the Canary Islands has assumed the management of the situation eight helicopters have been involved in trying to contain the fire: three helicopters from the Emergency and Rescue Group of the Government of the Canary Islands (GES) a Kamov helicopter and an Air tractor (cargo plane on the ground) from the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO) in addition to a Civil Guard helicopter in aerial coordination functions firefighting personnel from the Cabildo de Tenerife the Firefighters Consortium and the EIRIF teams of the Government of the Canary Islands based in La Gomera and BRIF from MITECO participate; security resources of both the Local Police the State Security Forces and bodies and the General Corps of the Canarian Police and Civil Protection the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) and the Red Cross The territorial area affected by this emergency includes the municipalities of Los Realejos and San Juan de La Rambla as well as the El Lagar and La Tahona recreational areas have been evacuated With the declaration of Level 2 of the fire the Military Emergency Unit (UME) is incorporated into the extinction tasks with the first contingent that deploys a platoon made up of 20 soldiers three fire trucks and an operations manager During the night troops from Gran Canaria will also join the operation Cabildo de Tenerife has announced that a new fire broke out in the municipality of El Tanque in the area of  San José de los Llanos The fire outbreak in El Tanque is now contained and has affected around 6 hectares of land Firefighters are in the area trying to contain the new fire while the work also continues in the area of the first fire which is now affecting around 500 hectares of forest in Tenerife and has a perimeter of 11 kilometers and is spread between the municipalities of Los Realejos Around 170 ground troops are part of the fire-extinguishing operation which also gets support personnel from other departments like security forces the helicopters are also on the scene working on trying to contain the fire.  Weather conditions are forecast to improve tonight with lower temperatures and higher relative humidity Tenerife is without a doubt a unique place to visit in the world but if you want to see something really special you should visit one of these natural pools which can be found in different parts of the island Natural pools can offer a unique experience different from swimming in a hotel's pool or in the open ocean the local authorities have also intervened to make them safer for visitors.  Although these places are beautiful and attractive and people can't wait to jump in when they see one they can also be very dangerous and many people have lost their lives by going in when it wasn't safe to do so When there are big waves and the meteorological conditions make the ocean agitated you should not risk going into one of these pools.  you should avoid going over the edge of the pools as a big wave could sweep you into the ocean which is how most of the accidents around natural pools happen Known locally as El Caleton these are the most popular natural pools in Tenerife They are extremely busy during the summer months especially during the weekends when many local families come here to enjoy this part of Tenerife's coastline The pools can be closed during the winter months The natural pools in Garachico were formed as a result of the volcanic eruption in 1706 and nowadays they are one of the top attractions in Garachico Bajamar is a town located in the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. We absolutely recommend a visit to Bajamar to see some of the impressive waves you'll ever see in your life. At this natural pool there are lifeguards on site and you also have access to public toilets The natural pool in Bajamar is also included on the list of Blue Flag beaches in Tenerife Punta del Hidalgo is also located in the San Crisobal de La Laguna municipality just a few minutes away by car from Bajamar This natural pool in Punta del Hidalgo can also be used safely during the winter months (on most days) and the water is of great quality and you also have easy access to restaurants and bars nearby.   Charco de Isla Cangrejo is located in Los Gigantes and it can be accessed through Calle Magnolia.  Even the sight of this place is impressive but if you plan to go swimming here you need to be very careful as there have been several accidents here over the years and some people have lost their lives The natural pool Charco del Viento is located in La Guancha, in the Santa Catalina neighborhood and even if you don't swim here, it is a nice place to visit in the evening, since it's a good place to watch the sunset in Tenerife. Charco La Laja is located in San Juan de La Rambla relatively in the same area of Tenerife as Charco del Viento but please be careful before going in for a swim.  These fantastic natural pools in Alcala are truly fantastic and a great place to swim when the tide is high and they get filled up with water The pools are located close to Playa La Jaquita and there's also a playground for kids nearby which is why it's a popular spot for families.  Cueva El Tancon is a kind of natural pool located inside a cave that gets filled with water in Spanish it's known as a "bufadero" and when it gets filled with water there's no room to breathe a result of the island's volcanic eruptions and unfortunately it attracts a lot of curious people who are probably unaware of how dangerous this place really is.  So please keep in mind that is a very dangerous place which is why access to Cueva El Tancon is FORBIDDEN so we hope that you value your life enough as to stay out and enjoy the other beaches and places in Tenerife where it is safe to swim Too many deaths and tragedies have happened here as well as at the natural pool in Los Gigantes where people get swept into the ocean by the high and powerful waves so please don't risk your life unnecessarily.  Wararka Safarka » Magaalooyinka Spain iyo shineemooyinka waxay noqdeen xayeysiinta ugu wanaagsan ee dalxiis ee magaalooyin iyo waddamo badan Tobaneeyo sano kahor taxane sida Taariikhdii dadka o Xagaaga buluugga ah Waxay u suurta geliyeen magaalooyin sida Nerja ama Puebla Nueva del Rey Sancho inay soo dhoweeyaan dalxiisayaal badan oo badan oo soo jiitay muuqaalka naqshadaha ama gastronomy ee goobahan intay ku arkeen shaashadda yar shabakadaha bulshada iyo suuqgeynta ay goobaha filim duubista u rogeen marmarsiiyo daawadayaasha safarka iyo fursad dhaqaale oo loogu talagalay magaalooyinka martigaliya duubista taxanaha ama filimada. Isbaanishka waxaan ka xusi karnaa kiisas yar oo arrintan la xiriira noocyada kala duwan ee muuqaalka iyo dhaxalka taariikhiga ah ee taariikhiga ah ee Isbaanishka ayaa soo jiitay duubista wax soo saar badan oo caalami ah caan ka dhigay qaar ka mid ah muuqaaladii filimaantaas jasiiradaha Canary waxay noqdeen meelaha loogu jecel yahay filimada ajaanibta ah Saxaraha Tabernas ee ku yaal Almería wuxuu caan ku yahay in lagu qabto duubista filim 'badan' reer galbeed ahKuwa ugu caansan waa kuwa sameeya sicirka doolarka agaasimaha Talyaaniga Sergio Leone Tani waa muhiimadeeda inaad xitaa sameyn karto waddo raaceysa raadadka astaamaha ugu waaweyn ee 'Kuwa wanaagsan Xudunta xudunta wadadani waxay ku taal Tabernas Oasys Desert Theme Park mid ka mid ah magaalooyinka galbeedka ee laga dhisay aaggan oo hadda bixisa bandhigyo kala duwan oo laga soo duubay muuqaallo ka soo jeeda noocyada noocyada ayaa dib loogu abuuray taageerayaasha waxsoosaar caalami ah oo noocyo kale ah ayaa lagu duubay lamadegaanka Tabernas 'Conan the barbarian' (1982) ama 'Indiana Jones iyo Crusade-kii Ugu Dambeeyay' (1989) dhammaantoodna waxay ku jiraan dhul-biyoodka oomaneedka iyo dhagaxa leh Seville waxay xiiseeysay filim sameeyeyaal badan Mid ka mid ah filimada magaalada siiyay sumcadda adduunka ugu caansan ayaa ahayd 'Lawrence of Arabia' (1962) oo uu agaasime ka ahaa David Lean iyo jilayaal caan ah sida Anthony Quinn Plaza de España waa mid ka mid ah meelaha astaanta u ah caasimadda Seville iyo sidoo kale mid ka mid ah kuwa ugu dabaqa weyn Muuqaalkani wuxuu ka muuqanayaa 'Lawrence of Arabia' laakiin wuxuu kasbaday xitaa sumcad ka badan muuqaalkeedii 'Star Wars Real Alcázar ee Seville sidoo kale wuxuu u taagan yahay goob loogu jecel yahay taas oo ka soo muuqatay filimo ay ka mid yihiin '1492 qabsashadii janno' (1992) ama 'Boqortooyada jannada' (2004) iyo waliba taxanaha caanka ah ee 'Game carshiyo ' Bilbao waxay soo martay geedi socod dib u cusboonaysiin ah taasoo ka dhigtay magaalada inay noqoto meel caan ku ah dalxiiska dal iyo dibadba shineemo tan iyo markii filimkii ugu dambeeyay ee laga duubay Bilbao uu ahaa 'Jupiter's Destiny' (2015) oo ah filim khiyaali saynis ah oo ay sameeyeen walaalaha Wachowski kaas oo lagu soo bandhigayo Bilbao mustaqbal leh halkaas oo astaamaha magaalada qaarkood lagu qaddariyo Waxaa laga yaabaa in xusuusta ugu badani ay tahay tan 'Dunidu marna kuma filna' (1999) mid ka mid ah qaybaha James Bond ee uu jilayo Pierce Brosnan oo ay hordhacdiisu ka muuqato matxafka Guggenheim shaqada caanka ah ee 'Puppy' ee hoggaamisa dhismaha iyo Buundada Salve Beeraha loo baahan yahay waxaa lagu calaamadeeyay la * comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a79612c3f99e97925ecf54b6ccd206bc" );document.getElementById("d224ccd735").setAttribute( "id" emaylkayga iyo degel-shabakadeena bog-furaha marka xigta ee aan faallo ka bixin doono.
