Ghent is a Belgian Treasure of History and Modern Charm. Explore it with us.
We are Hennie and Joseph. We enjoy traveling and are fascinated by places with seas, beaches and rivers.
This is my favorite city in Belgium. Brussels and Bruges are nice, but Ghent has much more to offer. Nestled at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Leie, Ghent (or Gent in Dutch) is the most captivating city in Belgium.

      482 / 5,000 Thank you for your response. I think Sweden is a beautiful country. I worked there for six months, but that was a long time ago. It is also a large country, larger than Germany, for example. And in such a large country there are of course differences between the regions. What struck me about Malmö, which I had never been to before, is that the city is still in transition from an industrialized period to a more modern city. And they are really working hard on it! And it is certainly a city to visit.

    Gran Canaria in Spanish and it is also well written in English Grand Canary / Gran Canary and also in French Grande Canarie or Portuguese Gran Canária. It is the island that gives its name to the Canary Islands archipelago. Being the Third Island in Height and Extension of the Archipelago, the Adjective "Grand" is not for being Large as if Grand Cayman or Grand Bahama use it. Not the Great is because of its large canids. During the conquest, the island was only called "Canary Island" and the archipelago "Islas de Canaria" that happened to be the island of Canaria that had the largest and most terrifying canids, in addition to the aborigines of This island had an evil being called Tibicena, which were terrifying dogs that even the Canarians of the time feared them. From here the island became "Isla de la Gran Canaria" and the Archipelago began to adopt the plural of "Islands". Canary Islands" but Gran Canaria would have the Gran and only the Gran for its Canes. That is why our Gran Canaria Basketball team, which represents us at the top of Spanish basketball and almost at the top of Europe, has Granky as the mascot and it is a Presa Canario Dog, the native animal of the island and which appears holding the shield of the Canary Islands on the Flag of the archipelago. Today Gran Canaria is divided into 2 geological halves: the South zone, which is the oldest, and the North Zone, which is the newest. The island is divided in two because two macro volcanoes rose in its center, the extinct Roque Nublo Volcano, whose caldera is what we have left and which is the town of Tejeda inside, hence why it is renamed "Caldera de Tejeda". "and the other Volcano was that of Las Tirajanas, which covered what is today "The Depression of Las Tirajanas" and curiously, the two municipalities that have the "de Tirajana" is because this volcanic depression passes through their municipalities. Surely on a map you will see that the island seems to have been bitten. Well, that bite fell into the ocean due to erosion and the former Roque Nublo Volcano. They say that Gran Canaria is flat but it also has mountains. This is because Gran Canaria is between two erosion processes, which is why it is the only island in the archipelago that has high mountains of up to almost 2,000 and plains at sea level. And if you want to see the primitive Gran Canaria, the original one, so to speak, go to the South since it is the first area that was formed, although the Original Volcano today "Can't be seen." It's a lie if you see what it was in the municipality of Mogán we have the natural monument of Los Azulejos since that mountain is part of the original primitive Volcano.
