These are the Sand Dunes 🏝️ in the Special Nature Reserve of Maspalomas, on the island of Gran Canaria (Spain). It looks like the Sahara itself, but it isn´t! The Maspalomas Dunes are made up of millions and millions of tiny particles of coral, shells and the limestone rock of the region, coming from the ocean as well as the interior of the Gran Canaria, which have been crushed and dragged onto the island over various millennia to form this amazing beach over just over 6km long.

Among Portugal’s impressive array of cultural heritage is a unique musical expression called Cante Alentejano. 🎵 Recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the Cante Alentejano is a choral performance sung by men and women with no musical accompaniment. It traditionally is sung in the fields by the workers, and is also a popular element during local holidays.

Violet candies🍬(Los caramelos de violeta) are one of the symbols of #Madrid. The ‘La Pajarita’ @bombonerialapajarita sweets shop has been making them since the 1850s using the same recipe. They use the same techniques and machines they always have in order to create these delights. 🤤 It is also the oldest sweet shop in Madrid.

“Castells” (human “castles”) are a 200-year old tradition in Spain. It’s normal to see “castells” during local celebrations and city fairs throughout Valencia and Catalonia. The highest “castell” ever was over 20 meters (over 65 feet) high!! It is amazing to see the coordination and cooperation of dozens of people who work together to create something so impressive! It is a perfect exemple of how working together makes us capable of achieving great things.
Have you ever seen a “castell” in person?
