Yay! Having updated our Real Tenerife Town & City Guides last month, this month we’ve finally completed the update of our #hiking guides. Now it’s only the guidebook to finish formatting, and an overhaul of the website and our #Tenerife projects will be up to date #CanaryIslands
Midsummer magic in the Canaries. This is for those who want to discover a different side to the Canary Islands. Based on strange stories picked up on each island. #books #CanaryIslands #folklore #magic #horror jackmont.substack.com/p/once…
The many reasons why Fodor's shouldn't have advised reader to reconsider visiting the Canary Islands in 2026 #CanaryIslands #Tenerife #travelwriting

The picturesque town in the picture dominated our view for four months. Visits to other nearby towns involved lots of little surprises about the country. #Portugal #Alentejo curioustravellertales.substa…
In May, we ended our collaboration with Slow Travel specialists #Inntravel. Giving notice prompted memories of incredible experiences over 13 years of helping create unique #SlowTravel holidays across Europe. jackmontgomery.co.uk/2025/05…

I like signposts with personality. This colourful one was from Sierra de Aracena earlier in the year. Eye-catching and Vibrant, but not particularly useful.

I just read an article in a Spanish newspaper debating what was the steepest street in the #CanaryIslands. Reading it, one in particular (out of many potentials) popped into my head. On the paper’s Facebook page, it was also the one most Canarios suggested.

It is almost the most magical night of the year in the #CanaryIslands yet you’ll rarely read about it in travel articles. By the Time Dawn Breaks is fiction, but it also includes lots of information that few outside the islands know about. #novel #travel amazon.co.uk/Time-Dawn-Break…
It’s quite weird actually hearing people using notes we’ve written, and immensely satisfying when they feel the same about the journey as we did. What a fabulous podcast.

Massive thanks to @Inntravel - this episode’s podcast partners & @JuliaSpence for helping make it happen. Also to my Camino leader @cerys6music for the laughs and memories and producer @danieljneilson for helping me with such a quick turnaround 🙏🙏🙏🙌

A different take on the problems with tourism on #Tenerife and why both protestors and the UK media are guilty of putting the perception of Tenerife back 20 years. buzztrips.co.uk/posts/a-diff… #canaryislands

The Canary Islands from a different perspective. Do you think you could you spot the difference between a human writer and a robot? buzztrips.co.uk/posts/the-ai… #AI #travelwriting #CanaryIslands
A similar headline has popped up on numerous UK news publications about the #CanaryIslands issuing a 'dire warning to British holidaymakers.' Read beyond the headlines. There is no 'dire warning' to tourists. It's clickbait and sensationalist spin. #travel
Last week I read three articles about the Canary Island of La Palma in the UK tabloids, all pushing #LaPalma as an alternative to Tenerife. None reflected what makes La Palma such a great island to visit. You don’t go to La Palma just for a fun in the sun holiday.

Most visitors to the Canary Islands will be familiar with, and probably have tasted, mojo rojo or mojo verde. But not so many will have tried these other popular sauces.
