The five-star hotel has 284 rooms decorated with designer furniture and high technology (more information at www.tivolihotels.com).
With this getaway to the Canary Islands we start this battery of proposals for the next vacation.
With Easter just around the corner, it's time to get ready to decide your next destination.
starry SPAIN
Leaving aside the noise, pollution and city lights can be a vacation in itself.
It is the proposal of the Starlight foundation, which identifies the places in Spain where the stars are best seen.
Among the inland destinations with
Starlight Destination Certification
, we find the Hoces de Segovia, a natural paradise that captivates all the senses and whose Easter festivities have been declared of National Tourist Interest.
Also the Roncal Valley, in Navarra, made up of seven magnificent villages where you can enjoy the purity of its natural landscapes, surrounded by serenity and freshness.
Finally, the Serranía de Cuenca, an earthly treasure that hides magical corners, where you must stop to connect with its history and essence.

Mallorca with style
The artists' town of
Deià
, between the Mallorcan Sierra de Tramuntana and the Mediterranean, hides one of the most emblematic hotels in our geography, La Residencia.
Famous for cultivating a
bohemian spirit,
the Belmond chain hotel turns 40 full of projects, from the exhibition and creation of works by different artists to a new tasting menu, the work of chef Pablo Armando Aranda at the El Olivo restaurant;
and even a new design of the pool by the local studio More Design.

'glamping' in guadarrama
It is Madrid's Lozoya Valley, one hour from Madrid, the dense blanket of oaks reveals some cabins that seem to have been taken from an African national park.
They are the

bungalows
and
ecolodges,
which are small Nordic-style houses with large windows to see the landscape.

exclusive bilbao
Built in 1912 on the cliff of Bilbao's Bahía del Abra, the old
Arriluce Palace
has just opened its doors as a luxury hotel with many attractions to attract a sybaritic public... We are in
Getxo
, after all.
In addition to choosing one of its 49 rooms, travelers can also enjoy its croquet field, its outdoor infinity pool and a high-level spa: the Neguri Spa & Wellness.
In terms of gastronomy, chef Beñat Ormaetxea leads the Delaunay restaurant's proposal with three different tasting menus.
The offer is completed with two adjoining gastronomic spaces, the English-style cocktail bar Kupka, and the La Ría pool bar with views of the Cantabrian Sea.

The most natural Córdoba
With enormous expanses of ancient olive trees, Cordoba's Subbética, the green heart of Andalusia, is well known as the cradle of the best EVOO in the world.
But for those who flee from the masses, this region is a paradise full of botanical paths, charming towns,
green routes to explore by bicycle
, starry skies and many people who love their land and want to share it.

The best breakfast
The long catalog of awards won by Finca Cortesín, one of the best resorts in our country, was missing the award for the
best breakfast in Spain
, which was just awarded by the airline Binter in the latest edition of Madrid Fusión.
Or maybe that one had it too.
It does not matter.
The truth is that the Malaga hotel with typically Andalusian architecture, impressive gardens, beach club, golf course and much more serves a spectacular breakfast every morning in the Jardín de Lutz, a relaxed terrace with sea views and a well-kept garden of ancient olive trees.
The culprit of everything is chef Lutz Bösing.
We will have to go to Casares, between Marbella and Sotogrande where this exclusive independent hotel is hidden and as such, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
