Today we went to explore Cueva de Las Huesas, a place that carries an aura unlike anywhere else on Gran Canaria. Hidden just above the neighborhood that shares its name, this cave complex in Telde has long been known as a site of mystery, memory, and silence. The walk to reach it was easy — just a short path of soft, dry earth winding across volcanic stone. With every step, the modern city below seemed to fade, replaced by the raw presence of rock, sky, and something older that lingered in the air. Before entering, we first walked around the outside of the cave. From here, you can see how it was carefully carved into the toba stone: a broad rectangular chamber with four wide openings facing south, almost mirroring the famous Cuatro Puertas site on the opposite side of the valley. Around it, smaller hollows and niches punctuate the rock, as if the entire hillside was once alive with sacred purpose. The ambience was… strange. Not unpleasant, but heavy in a way, as though the ...

Today was a very special day for us, because we finally got to try something we have wanted for a long time: our very own drone! Adding this extra dimension to our videos has always been a dream. But as anyone who has looked into drones knows, there are many restrictions, rules, and confusing regulations—especially when it comes to weight and where you can fly. That is why the DJI Neo, weighing under 250 grams, felt like the perfect choice. It’s lightweight, simple to use, and thanks to its small size, it also carries fewer risks of breaking if something goes wrong. We decided to go for the Fly More Combo, because when it comes to batteries and accessories, more is always better when you are out in the field. For the first flight we drove into the beautiful Barranco de Fataga, a canyon full of dramatic cliffs and natural beauty. Our chosen spot was at Cuevas de Ventanas, a fascinating place where the old cave openings look like windows cut into the rocks. It felt like the p...

Puerto de Mogán, often called the “Little Venice of Gran Canaria,” has its own rhythm that seems to flow slower than the rest of the island. For Auke and Miranda, this small fishing village blended with a marina and sandy beach is not just a postcard scene – it’s a place to walk, explore, and breathe in the essence of Gran Canaria. The evening began with a gentle stroll along the beach promenade. The sound of waves brushing against the golden sand gave a calm background melody as. Auke pointed out how the promenade itself seemed alive – lined with small cafés, ice cream shops, and boutiques selling summer dresses, handmade jewelry, and souvenirs that spark the memory of a holiday well spent. Miranda enjoyed stopping here and there to peek into little shops, while Auke preferred to watch the horizon. From the promenade, they naturally drifted into the harbour of Puerto de Mogán. Here, the atmosphere shifted. The fishing village charm met the luxury of sailing yachts, with th...
