The most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura

By Loren in Fuerteventura

#Fuerteventura is known worldwide for being one of the Islands with the most beautiful beaches in the world. Long areas of very fine, white, golden sand full of light and with the Atlantic surrounding its shores and cliffs. All without exception are havens of peace and relaxation where anyone would like to get lost at least once a year, but there is one of all of them that stands out in indisputable way: #Cofete beach.

Located in the Natural Park of Jandía, in the municipality of Pájara, this pristine beach is surrounded by high mountains and breaches the sea, as if it were a result of an architecture designed with detail. Pure nature which only can be accessed by sea or through a path that crosses the hills of this southern part of Fuerteventura towards the Atlantic.

Its difficult access is what makes it one of the most isolated and quiet beaches to rest during a #holiday in Fuerteventura. It is especially suitable for travellers who love sport, adventures, relaxation as a couple and all those seeking to discover always new places.

Playa Jandia, Fuerteventura

Swimming is not easy in this beach, hence it is not of the most recommended to go with children, since when the tide is high, it leaves a part of the beach isolated and, in addition, the winds in the area form strong eddies that create a swell that makes it difficult to enjoy a quiet dip unless you are a good swimmer.

To visit the area of Cofete beach, the most recommended is to book accommodation in Costa Calma, or opt for a hotel in Playa de Jandia. There are several 4-star hotels in Jandia that combine services for adults and children, also hotels for couples next to the Matorral beach, one of the most famous in this area.

Four Bogotá neighbourhoods that you can’t miss

By Loren in Colombia

Bogotá is the Colombian most important city for many reasons, it is the capital of the country, and it is richness in many ways, like cultural, gastronomic and touristic and the preservation of its colonial tradition. Located in the centre of the country, the city has about 1600 neighbourhoods, a place where you can easily get lost and from we would like to take four neighbourhoods that stand out and are a must if you’re in Bogotá.

The first and probably the most important and representative one in the city is La Candelaria, located in the west centre of the city, is this historical district of Bogotá, which is a delight due its cobblestone streets, its colonial ground-floor buildings with metal grilled windows and the clay tails.

Cathedral of Bogotá, La Candelaria neighbourhood

In La Candelaria Neighbourhood you can find some of the most emblematic and important buildings of the city, like the cathedral, the congress hall, The Casa de Nariño, The Colon theatre, the mint house or Bolivar square. You can’t forget to visit two of the most important museums here: the Botero Museum and the Gold Museum.

Moving on to a different neighbourhood, we suggest you the Usaquén neighbourhood located in the northern area of the city near the majestic oriental hills. Here we also will found the cobblestones streets with colonial buildings, which harmonize with the modern buildings recently built, creating and interesting contrast to the view.

In the Usaquén neighbourhood you can find several restaurants where you can drop by to get something to eat. Among these you can find all type of international dishes, as well, of course, as the Colombian traditional cuisine. On Sundays you can’t miss the jumble sale a local tradition for more than 20 years, where artists and craftsmen from across the country participate in one of the most emblematic cultural events of the city.

Another place you shouldn’t miss while you’re in Bogotá is the Macarena neighbourhood, one of the most bohemian areas of the capital, crowded with design shops, art galleries, as well as bars and restaurants. In this neighbourhood we can also find the National museum, the oldest one in Colombia and where you can see a wide collection of historical objects of the country.

As a coda we bring you a neighbourhood where you can enjoy exquisiteness from all the restaurants in there. We’re talking about Zona G in the city, where you can find the best restaurants in Bogotá and be seduced by its gastronomy.
