children toys

May 8th, 2008

Again Vecindario and Avenida de Canarias. Through all this street, and not only in this town - as it turned out, are the little “playgrounds” for children. Some kind of seesaws. The swinging flowers, elephants, cars and others. Very nice idea.

Hotel bodyguard

May 7th, 2008

Hotel in Vecindario. At Avenida de Canarias - the main street in town and the longest on the island.
And inside the hotel of course permanent redecoration. And a big cactus, as you can see - blocking an entrance to hotel :) The cactus-bodyguard hehe

where is the market?

May 6th, 2008

Somewhere in Telde, in a San Francisco district. Among the buildings and streets a little nook. And here, far away from shops - two market-carriages :)

Actually it’s not first time I see market-carriages far from markets. Here you can see them everywhere: inside houses, in garages, on a parking places, in a ditches, etc. Everywhere […]

very beautiful flower

May 4th, 2008

Were today in Telde, walking through very nice, narrow, old streets in San Francisco district. Really nice place, really worth to see. Of course we had to also look in every place we passed, and in one of them we found an very old building and the rock flowerpot, with sth inside. I think one […]

bucket-fish

April 27th, 2008

The iron fishermen sitting on the dock of the bay in Playa de Arinaga. Next to him a bucket full of iron fishes. Nice :) From far away he looks like he was alive, real fisherman doing his fishing..

Canary emblem

April 24th, 2008

This is an emblem of Canary Islands. As you can see: two dogs - characteristic for canarias, and in the middle part an image of all seven islands. One of them you can find in Las Palmas, on the government building.

La Ranita

April 23rd, 2008

City of Aguimes, the old town, very pleasant and quiet place. Old houses, sculptures. Very nice place. In one of the narrow street little shop, closed of course, La Ranita. Means “frog” in english. For me it’s little comic, but, I believe, not everybody see it funny :)

Windmill

April 22nd, 2008

We’re on a way from Vecindario to Carrizal, travelling by old local road. On our right we’re passing a building looking like a church. When we look closer we’ll see it’s a art-center. Of course it’s closed. Behind the wall we can see huge windmill. Seems to be very old. As I said - museum […]

A bit of canary culture

April 21st, 2008

This is one of the sculpture on Las Canteras promenade. In Las Palmas of course. It shows the swimming people as you can surely see ;) In my opinion - author had a good idea to make it this way: looks maybe strange, but interesting.

Need some air?

April 19th, 2008

As I wrote before, on a Canary Islands is rather hot. The temperatures are high, most of the year it’s approximate 25-30 degrees. So mejority of people buy to their houses air condition. Of course most of shops, restaurants, etc. have also air condition to encourage people to come in.

And, as you can see above […]
