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.substack.com/p/secrets-of-r…

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. #walking #hiking #signposts #Spain #Andalucia #SierradeAracena

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. #Tenerife #LaPalma

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-Brea…

A very brief taster of #Seville yet long enough to convince us we'll have to return to spend more time in the city.

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. #CaminodeSantiago #walking #slowtravel

Here’s a dish you don’t often see mentioned much in articles about Portuguese food, pica-pau (woodpecker). It’s actually beef or pork with pickled vegetables and olives. It’s called pica-pau because you eat it with toothpicks. #Portugal #food #dishes

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-v… #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. #CanaryIslands

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. #CanaryIslands #food buzztrips.co.uk/posts/pass-the…

Exploring Trani in Puglia. Despite its good looks and obvious charm, this historic coastal town on the Adriatic remains below the radar of many foreign visitors. buzztrips.co.uk/posts/explorin… #trani #puglia #italy

I suspect articles like these wouldn't have been published a decade ago. No attempt at all at accuracy. A sad state of affairs #travelwriting #travel #Tenerife

This week, I read two travel articles in UK national newspapers that slid down the slippery slope from ‘creative’ travel writing and right into the out and out fiction zone. jackmontgomery.co.uk/2024/01/25/whe… #travelwriting #travel #Tenerife
