Air Europa to begin flights from Miami to Spain and Tenerife

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:09:00 +0000

Spanish carrier Air Europa has announced it will begin nonstop service from Madrid to Miami International on March 19th, 2010, and also will renew nonstop service to Tenerife, Canary Islands, starting on June 19th, 2010.

The Canary Islands have a comprehensive inter island flight service between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma and these new flights will be a great boost to the Canarian population requiring international connections.

Air Europa will operate four weekly flights to Madrid and one weekly flight to Tenerife using Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The airline first began operating at Miami International on June 20th, 2009, with just a seasonal service to Tenerife.

Residents and property owners on the islands are now benefitting from a host of new flights that have begun to serve the islands in recent months. This will also help the American tourism to the islands

New European Cruise Routes Announced Including Canary Islands

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:00:00 +0000

The Canary Islands and Norway are to benefit from new routes announced by Fred Olsen Cruises for 2010. The new cruises will take passengers to the Cosmopolitan cities of Europe across diverse sea and landscapes in relaxed style. Gran Canaria, is included in the ‘Canaries Collection’ starting from the 5th of October 2010, leaving from Dover to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Las Palmas Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Portugal, and returning to Dover. As an autumn adventure the cruise takes advantage of the sub-tropical temperatures the Canary Islands are famous for this time of year. If last October is anything to go by passengers should be in for a real treat as temperatures then were more akin to the summer months. In fact many of the islands visitors and second home property owners prefer to spend the winter months in Gran Canaria. The ship called ‘Braemar’ has been refitted and lengthened and was voted ‘The Best Refurbished Ship’ in Cruise Critic’s Editor Pick Awards 2009.

Further cruises travel to Norway and the Iberian Peninsular during the summer months taking advantage of the more traditional summer weather in Northern Europe. The ‘Norweigen Celebration’ starts on 15th of May, ‘Secrets of Spain’ begins 30th of July and the ‘Viking Voyager’ cruise starts 8th of August.

It is anticipated the additional exposure to the Canaries will bring new awarenes to Gran Canaria and boost its tourism industry which has recently also been aided by new flights.

Norweigen interest in Gran Canaria growing

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:06:00 +0000

Norweigen interest in Gran Canaria is always highest during the 'winter season'when the tropical valleys of the South of the island offer warm protected santuary against the Scandinavian cold. Traditionally the better known areas of Arguinguin, Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico are first for visitors as property and accommodation availability are more widespread. As visitors become better aquainted with the island and venture further South or inland they discover smaller, more private places to stay such as Playa de Mogan, home to Goldacre Estates situated in the lawned gardens of the Cordial Hotel. Alongside other Northern European visitors, the Norweigen market has also started to settle in with visitors now converting to property owners, taking advantage of the high rental yields available in such exclusive areas. For those looking to be in the centre of Mogan within the Marina area known locally as 'Little Venice'this one bedroom ground floor apartment is a stones throw from the Marina with its varied bars, restaurants and shops. Regular ferry boats run from the Marina to Puerto Rico and Arguinguin along with the local airconditioned buses so even having a car is not essential.

Irish Interest on the rise in Gran Canaria

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:29:00 +0000

An increase in Irish online searches for winter sun holidays in Gran Canaria has been reported for the first 2 weeks of January 2010 compared to 2009. According to some hotel booking sites Gran Canaria saw a 50% rise ahead of Egypt 46%, Bali 30% and Phuket 27%. Unsurprisingly the weather seams to be the main motivator as Ireland and the UK have experienced extreme cold and snow while the Canaries have been enjoying a winter heat wave. Gran Canaria is well known as a winter sun destination especially amongst Scandinavian visitors, however new flights from the Uk and Ireland are raising the awareness of new markets to Gran Canarias warm winters. Visitors to the South of the Island know the beaches are more sheltered there facing away from any Northerly winds. Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas enjoy huge sand dunes for their beaches while Puerto Rico has a year round marina and further South is the tropical valley of Mogan, an exclusive marina front village with its own beach is particularly sheltered and always a few degrees warmer. Another reason for the interest from Ireland is currency convenience. Being in the Euro means there are no exchange fees to have to pay and holiday costs can be easily calculated without any loss through the exchange rate.

Gran Canaria Eagle Eye

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:41:00 +0000

Gran Canaria is hoping to take a leaf out of London’s book and install a giant wheel in the centre of Las Palmas. Local paper Canarias Ahora says the island’s tourist board has been in talks with the city council to look for a suitable site for the ‘Eye’, which it says will help sell the capital to visitors.
It appears, however, that not everyone in Las Palmas is keen on the idea and a squabble has already broken out about where best to place it. Although several potential sites have been looked at, none fulfils the established accessibility and safety requirements. Critics say if it is placed too near the city’s main roads drivers will stop to look up at it and could trigger crashes. The spot currently favoured is the plaza at the Santa Catalina Bus Station.
It would seem that it is early days yet as far planning but who knows…..

Spain Announces Airport Tax Freeze For 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:14:00 +0000

Airport taxes will be frozen from 2010 the Spanish Government has announced. Spain's minister for public works José Blanco has said the move was devised to help stimulate the economy.

In a further initiative, the minister said discounts, which currently apply to travellers to the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and Melilla, will be increased to 30 per cent. Francisco Alaya opposition member of the People's Party insisted that the government's initiative was too late and should have been introduced this year. Mr Alaya also noted it is discriminatory to apply the taxes just to selected islands.

The Canary Islands are a favorite destination for expatriates and holidaymakers alike and this will greatly help the tourist industry. The news comes after several airlines annouced increased flights to the Canaries.

Seaplanes in the Canary Islands

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:44:00 +0000

A Canadian company, Harbour Air Seaplanes have approached the Canarian port authorities in Los Llanos on the island of La Palma and Santa Catalina in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to seek approval to begin flights. Harbour Air are the largest all-seaplane airline in the world, they want to expand and offer their services connecting the Canary Islands from 2010.

The company has already had a successful meeting with the local authorities and are currently in the process of confirming how the operation would work for the security and procedures. Very little work would be required at either of these ports to establish the first seaplane connection between the capitals of these islands. Each seaplane would be able to carry up to 19 passengers per flight, they could be run as often as every 40 minutes and the journey time would be half an hour with a cost of around 40 Euros per person. Once the first connection is in place, Harbour Air would be interested in opening other routes to connect more of the Canary Islands.

The 21st World Cheese Awards Will Be Held In Gran Canaria.

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:58:00 +0000

After winning last year the 21st world cheese cwards will be held in Gran Canaria.

Between September 30 and October 3rd, 140 expert tasters and 3,000 products from all over the world will come together in an international exhibition with more than 300 participants.

Organised by the Guild of Fine Foods, for the first time in its history the World Cheese Awards will be held outside of the U.K. in the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Last year in Dublin, the Canary Islands won the best Cheese of the World award with a cured goats cheese bathed in paprika made by the Dairy Cooperative of Arico in Tenerife, followed by another fifteen awards in different categories to different cooperatives throughout the archipelago.

The councillor of Agriculture, Stockbreeding, Fishing and Diet indicated that is very important for Canaries and therefore Spain, to be the headquarters of a contest that each year attracts the attention of specialists from all over the world, who present such prestigious awards to those working within the food and agriculture industry.

In the words of the Guild of Fine Foods, "The World Cheese Awards are the cheese Olympics, the single event that unites the cheese world. It offers producers the opportunity to compete on a global stage where the prestige of winning Gold, Silver or Bronze can impact on sales enormously. In October 2009, at the invitation of the Canary Islands Government, the world’s largest international cheese competition takes place in Gran Canaria as part of a major global dairy event."3000 cheeses will be consolidated in their countries of origin and air freighted to Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, Las Palmas in readiness for the judging. Over 140 international experts from around the globe will also be flown in for the judging on 1st October before awarding Gold, Silver and Bronze to the best cheeses in the world. The judging will be filmed for broadcast around the world and on the Awards website."After the judges have completed their work, hundreds of buyers and retailers attending World Cheese 2009 will have their opportunity to taste competition cheeses and check if they agree with the experts’ verdicts."

Cost Of New Housing Falls In Spain But The Canary Islands Is Less Affected

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:23:00 +0000

Canary Islands Real Estate, Fuerteventura Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria property better than mainland Spain.

The cost of new housing fell 2% in the first quarter of the year compared with the same period in 2008, the first annual decrease since the property market bubble started to deflate in mid-2007.

According to data published today by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), the price of housing as a whole fell by 7.6% between January and March, the biggest decrease since prices started to fall in the second quarter of 2008. The main reason for the fall is still the slump in prices in the second-hand-property market, brought on by owners selling just to clear bank mortgage commitments, but it is the first time that new housing in Spain has also seen a decrease.

House prices fell in all the autonomous communities in the first quarter, with the biggest drops being registered in Catalunya (13.7%), Comunidad de Madrid (11.2%), Basque Country(10.8%), Navarra (10.1%), Aragón (9.7%), Balearic Islands (8.1%) and La Rioja (8%).Below national average drops were registered in Cantabria (7.2%), Comunidad Valenciana (5.2%), Canary Islands (4.3%), Andalucía (3.9%), Castilla and León (3.3%), Castilla-La Mancha (2.5%), Extremadura (2.2%), Asturias (1.8%), Murcia (1.6%) and Galicia (0.5%).

Maiden Voyage Of Cunards Queen Elizabeth to include the Canary Islands

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:39:00 +0000

Like the regal Queen Elizabeth I, Cunard has begun construction on what promises to be the premier cruising vessel on the high seas. She is scheduled for her maiden voyage in October of 2010, joining the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria as the most famous ocean liners in the world.
Queen Elizabeth will feature the unique Cunard traditions, together with all the modern day luxuries Cunard’s guests have come to expect. In addition, some exciting new features will give the vessel her own sense of style and personality.
Named after the first Queen Elizabeth, one of Cunard’s greatest ships, the new Queen Elizabeth will reflect her predecessor in interior grandeur, décor and style. Art Deco features will pay homage to the original Queen Elizabeth and will allow the new ship to reflect an elegant era of travel. The extraordinary new vessel features 12 decks and carries more than 2,000 passengers.
In addition to the extensive Cunard onboard entertainment program, Queen Elizabeth will offer some unique strands such as country house parties at sea, evening piano sing-alongs and period dancing, from traditional ballroom to the jitterbug and the jive, all within the setting of this 21st-century ship. The ship will also reflect this great liner through artwork, memorabilia and its very own “Yacht Club.”

Queen Elizabeth will depart on her Maiden Voyage on 12 October 2010—a voyage which sold out in a record-breaking 29 minutes in April 2009. This 13-night celebration will leave from Cunard’s home port of Southampton and will call at Vigo (for Santiago de Compostela), Lisbon, Seville (Cadiz), Gran Canaria (Las Palmas), Tenerife (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, an overnight call), La Palma (Santa Cruz de La Palma) and Madeira (Funchal).
Her Maiden Season will run from October 2010 to January 2011 and include voyages to the Western and Central Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Fares start from just $1,195 per person for the five-night 26 November 2010 Gallic Debut voyage with ports of call at Amsterdam, Zeebrugge and Le Havre; while the 13-night Iberian Discovery voyage departing 1 December 2010 features fares from $2,395 per person, with ports of call at Vigo, Lisbon, Seville, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma and Madeira.

Entries have now closed for this year's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:02:00 +0000

Entries have now closed for this year's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), the 24th edition of the annual transatlantic rally. The Rally organisers, World Cruising Club, have now opened a waiting list after accepting 225 entries for the 2010 rally.

There are 28 countries represented in this year's event that starts on 22nd November in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. 200 yachts from all over the world, will cross the Atlantic to Saint Lucia, one of the most beautiful in the Lesser Antilles. The 2,700 nautical mile passage on the NE tradewind route takes typically takes between 14 and 21 days and the fleet reaches its destination and the finish line in Rodney Bay.

Whilst fundamentally a fun rally for cruising yachts, the ARC does have a more serious Racing Division, run under the auspices of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC). Yachts in the Racing Divisions are not permitted to use their engines for propulsion (unlike the cruisers), although use of autopilots is allowed.

Are you ready to POUNCE?!

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:07:00 +0000

Having offices in GC and FUE often gives us interesting insights into the differences between the Canary Islands and the reaction of the property markets in each. As a more mature market GC has tended to ‘hold’ rather than reduce prices as it knows the true values will return and appreciate over the long term having experienced slump periods in the past. Developers realise there is less opportunity to acquire new land for development in the future and to sell out now would damage future earning potentials.

While many of the Fuerteventura developers would argue the same point and have echoed GC by not reducing prices at all, there have been one or two short term reductions on selected products giving investors and those individuals ready to buy a unique opportunity to pounce and secure a ‘never to be repeated deal’. The Fuerteventura office has seen an increase in sales as a result of this during the 1st and now 2nd quarter of 2009 in both the resale and new property sectors.

Gran Canaria has made few changes in contrast, however there has been a growth in recent activity where individual vendors have made exceptions to the rule due to their personal circumstances. In the area of Mogan and the exclusive beach and marina of Mogan valley itself there have been some snap buys as the occasional price has been reduced for a quick sale. High rental potential in the area means that any reductions bolster the capital return to buyers of holiday homes and investors alike.

This week a very special property in Playa de Mogan should do well, now priced below €200,000 with a position behind the Hotel Cordial with its lovely gardens and just 150m from the beach itself. For those actively searching for properties to buy now this 2 bedroom apartment offers some lucky purchaser a real deal. Likewise our property of the week in Maspalomas is just €87,000 for a position close to the golf course and famous sand dunes, plus it has its own communal swimming pool and would be an ideal holiday property at a fraction of the cost. The question is are you ready to pounce?!

Danish and Rumanian Routes to Gran Canaria

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Tue, 12 May 2009 07:19:00 +0000

18,000 new seats will be available from Cimber Sterling this August flying from Copenhagen and Billund in Denmark to Las Palmas Gran Canaria. The new route will serve the Danish interest in the island as well as offer an alternative departure point for the more established Southern Swedish market close by. The Tourism Minister Roberto Moreno along with the Tourism Department has been building relations with International Tourism sectors to boost the industry and widen access to the Islands from abroad. A further new route from Bucharest was also announced earlier this year broadening the islands client base. The Tourism Minister commented ‘the good news here is double, now that Cimber Sterling (company) not only have began to connect Gran Canaria from the Danish capital and another second Danish airport…but also they are beginning in August, when usually routes begin in October’.

Is Real Estate and the Economic climate starting to see a turn for the better…….

noreply@blogger.com (Goldacre Estates) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:10:00 +0000

Real Estate across the world is starting to see an upturn in the news being reported, Canary Islands and Spanish employment is being affected by Tourism numbers , United States consumer confidence is seeing a rise can this be the Obama effect….

US consumer confidence jumped the most in more than three years in April as the recent stock market rally dispelled gloom about the economy, but house prices in the largest US cities tumbled further in February. The 18.6 per cent drop in house prices followed a 19 per cent year-on-year decline in January. However, for the first time in 16 months the rate of decline eased from the prior month, offering some hope that the property market could be beginning to bottom out. Combined, the results add to the case that the US economy could be digging itself out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Australian new home sales rose by 4.2% year on year in March following a significant upward revision to the February annual rate of increase to 7.8% from 3.9%, according to the HIA
