The biddies continue the volcanic wine passport tour with the Canary Islands. A cool spot that was once an important stopping point for ships in the Atlantic wine trade, these islands were once well known for their sweet wine, and are now known as an up and coming wine spot making crisp, saline whites. Grab a glass and join us.

Imagine looking up at a blanket of stars, the sound of the ocean lapping, and the smell of sea air mixed with sweet pine. Then picture another scene - crowds squealing with excitement, bulls rushing by, and a cup of sangria refreshing your soul. 

Today we’re discussing the country of Spain - a place so diverse it may as well be a hundred different destinations in one! Whether you’re here to focus on world class gastronomy, experience local festivals, or just relax in the sun, this dynamic country has it all. 

Our guest today is Elena Florez, our partner and Spanish luxury travel expert. Elena explains for us how Spain became such a melting pot of cultures, how that’s affected the country today, and describes some fabulous destinations and experiences. 

Make up a plate of jamon and manchego, and enjoy this fun chat with Elena Florez.

Today I’m delighted to be joined by the charming Marc Clement who is the General Manager of the Iberostar Grand El Mirador hotel in Adeje in Southern Tenerife.

This podcast was recorded earlier this year when we visited Tenerife during the low season month of May when much of Europe and indeed the world was in lockdown.  The El Mirador was welcoming guests who were taking the opportunity to escape the stresses of daily life and who were visiting the El Mirador to re-charge their batteries after a long hard winter.

The El Mirador, like most of the Select Properties in Adeje, had robust procedures in place to protect their clients from Covid and I must say it was all very reassuring to see this done in such a way that the client experience remained a highly positive one.  Without doubt, these procedures will have been even more finely honed since last May and therefore you should have every confidence in booking you escape to the El Mirador this winter.

Finally, Iberostar, as a group, have some incredible initiatives in place to ensure that they are at the forefront of Sustainable and Responsible Tourism practices.  You can learn more here: https://waveofchange.com/
