Today, I wanted to visit the town of Gáldar. As the Cueva Pintada, a museum about the pre-hispanic Indigenous inhabitants of the island, only opened at 11 a.m., I also had time for a bit of exploration of the wild West coast to the North of Puerto de las Nieves.

A (work) week in Las Palmas
I spent the last five days teleworking from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. However, I also enjoyed my free time in the (late) afternoons. Continue reading A (work) week in Las Palmas
Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Kick-off to a Workation on the Canary Islands
I am trying something new: I am combining work with vacation. So, I am spending the next six weeks on the Canary Islands – a bit over half of that on vacation, and the remainder working remotely. Continue reading Kick-off to a Workation on the Canary Islands

So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!
Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
As today was supposed to be another rather rainy day, I opted for city sightseeing instead of hiking: I went to Bozen (as it was least likely to rain there). Continue reading Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
More tourists in Merano
Originally, I wanted to visit Merano today on my way from one accommodation to the next. However, as the weather forecast promised rain, I decided to go a day early. So, I could enjoy Meran in sunshine – even though the weather today did not turn out to be that bad. Continue reading More tourists in Merano
Exploring Val Venosta
It is finally time to travel again! I am still limiting myself to (Central) Europe, though: I will be spending my time in South Tyrol and Slovenia. I started my trip with a few days in Val Venosta, in the West of South Tyrol. Continue reading Exploring Val Venosta
