Even donkeys need beach days! Grand Turk is known for its beautiful beaches and its rich history, but my favorite memory of this lovely island is the presence of wild donkeys...everywhere! Donkeys at the beach. Donkeys in the street. Donkeys in yards. Donkeys even tried getting on our tour van! So what's up with the donkeys? Way back in the 1700s, much of Grand Turk was used to harvest sea salt. The salt was raked from evaporation ponds and loaded into carts. Donkeys were brought in to haul the carts from pond to pier. When salt production ended on the island around the 1960s, the donkeys were left to their own means. While the donkeys are friendly and have no fear of people, remember that any animal can be unpredictable, so take care when you're around them. Don't leave food unattended as they WILL gobble it up! Have you seen the Grand Turk donkeys? . . . . . #grandturk #grandturkdonkeys #turksandcaicos #caribbean #westerncaribbean #cruiseports #caribbeantravel #cswdumplings #caribbeanhistory #grandturkhistory #worldtravel #cruisedestinations #travelblogger #travelbloggersofinstagram (at Grand Turk, Turks And Caicos Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLho_2v4-q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌍Mirador del Rio

Lanzarote's most famous viewpoint is situated on Famara Cliff. The stone structure's semi-circular shape and large domed roof offer breathtaking views over the northern coastline, and the island's oldest salt plains.

🌍Bodega Translated as "wine cellar," a bodega is a warm and welcoming wine shop, tasting room or marketplace where visitors can sample or purchase wine.
