Step into the fascinating world of cacti at Jardín de Cactus in Lanzarote, where more than a thousand different types of succulents from various desert and arid regions are on display. Situated in the village of Guatiza, the garden was the last project of renowned artist César Manrique, and his works can be seen throughout the garden. The garden is designed as a large amphitheatre, with terraced arrangements of plants that provide a stunning visual experience. A restored windmill, once used for producing gofio (a sort of Canarian flour), stands at the highest point, further adding to the charm of the place.

From the 13th to the 15th century, Bruges was the most important trading centre in North-West Europe. Spanish merchants settled along the Spaanse Loskaai (Spanish Quay) and in the Spanjaardstraat. The Germans or Easterners — ‘oosterlingen’ in Dutch — took up residence in the Oosterlingenplein. In this old Hansa Quarter you can admire the mansions of the wealthy international merchants and the great trading nations of the day. You can almost still smell the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
