A walk from Corralejo to Popcorn Beach – (approx 4.5km each way)
This walk took us just over an hour each way and then we spent around half an hour sitting on the beach, taking photos etc, so you should allow for a half day activity unless you plan to spend longer on the beach. We were staying at the Northern point of Corralejo this time so Read more

The Roaches and Lud’s Church – 8.3 mile circular walk

A day trip from Krakow to Energylandia
Our seven day trip to Krakow was originally built around the idea of wanting to visit Energylandia.

A day out at St Fagan’s Museum, South Wales
