Destination Fly4free: Gran Canaria and Tenerife
Masca Valley and Los Gigantes, Tenerife
This green and flourishing valley in the western part of Tenerife is situated at around 600 meters above the sea level. This spectacular area is named after an impressively isolated and picturesque Masca village. You can hike the Masca Barranco, a 4.5 km descent through incredible, narrow Masca Gorge, from the village to black sand beach (Playa de Masca) and then take a boat to Los Gigantes.
Despite requiring the use of hands for support in a couple of places and often being steep, the trail easy enough for relatively experienced hikers (it takes about 3 h one way). The landscape is volcanic with fantastic rock formations and vertical cliffs hundreds of meters high. During the boat trip to Los Gigantes you might see dolphins or whales.

Unique viniculture of La Geria, Lanzarote
Lanzarote produces excellent wines, of which 75% are made from the Malvasia grape, already praised by Shakespeare hundreds of years ago. After the vineyards were buried in lava in the 1730s, farmers had to drastically rethink their methods of cultivation to continue growing vines in the new conditions. They proved that lush valleys and verdant rolling hills aren't the only places for grapes. The local viniculture is completely different from any other wine area on Earth.
lf you take the road from Uga to Masdache, you come through the strange volcanic vineyards of La Geria valley, at the border of the Timanfaya National Park. You’ll see the rows of dimples dug in the nutrient-rich volcanic soil. The granules of volcanic rock can absorb moisture from the air, retain the night humidity and prevent evaporation. The 10,000 hollows, surrounded by semi-circular walls, were built by hand for each individual vine to provide protection from the wind.
