Calpe (Alicante)

Calpe, often known as Calp, is considered one of the most popular resorts on the Costa Blanca in Spain. The fairly mild winters make the town a popular holiday destination for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and climbing, and the warm summers guarantee a perfect beach holiday. Calpe is most famous for the so-called Peñón de Ifach, an imposing rock in the sea that gives the resort its distinctive appearance.

Souvenir from Spain♥

Roque Bentayga, Gran Canaroa, Spain

Roque Bentayga is a rock formation on the island of Gran Canaria. Roque Bentayga is considered an archaeological monument because it contains an "almogarén" (a sanctuary built by the indigenous Guanche people).

Souvenir from Gran Canaria ♥

Masca, Tenerife, Spain 

Masca is a small mountain village on the island of Tenerife. It was originally a Guanche settlement before the Spanish conquest in 1496. The village is now home to around 90 inhabitants. The village lies at an altitude of 650 m in the Macizo de Teno mountains, which extend up to the northwesternmost point of Tenerife.

Sunday Church

Church of Our Lady of the Rock of France (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia), Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

The church was built at the end of the 17th century. It is worth paying attention to its decorative interior. There is a small museum next to the church. The temple is surrounded by gardens and is just a short walk from the sea.
