El Castillo Await Your Pleasure For Sunbathing, Playing, Drinking, Eating, And Simply Having A Wonderful Vacation

Posted By admin

Date: January 31st, 2009

My days in Costa Caleta or Caleta de Fuste & El Castillo as it’s also known; is a village I have called home for more than 3 years now. And its a wonderful place to me I love the pace of life here, the costs of living, and the standard of living.

It has rained for more than twenty-four hours, which hasn’t happened in over a year, and it was at least a year before that when it happened last.

It doesn’t really bother me, but I have to say when I hear ex pats, who moan about missing English weather, whats to miss?

The snow, the sleet, the rain, the cold, and yes, the brief sunny spell. Which seem to me (as I have UK TV), to be in short supply indeed.

But enough of all that moaning; you should visit Fuerteventura and Costa Caleta in particular. Its a quiet place, and one where you can have plenty of fun one day, and a quiet chill out day, the next.

There are loads of bars and cafes, sightseeing opportunities, trips and excursions, and interseting cycle and hiking routes.

The look of Fuerteventura is a little different, but someone once said to me, “it’s strangely beautiful”, and I have stolen that for my own ever since. I would love to give this phrase a home, but I dunno where I got it. Some describe it as the moon, but it has mountains, areas of natural beauty, indigenous wildlife, and a great culture.

The main areas of Fuerteventura are Caleta de Fuste, Corralejo, Jandia, and Puerto Del Rosairo, as its the Islands capital. It’s mainly the business capital as it is not really a tourism destination, but its a good place for shopping, and there are a good few restaurants and bars, where you can practice your Spanish.

Jandia is at the extreme south, and is mainly German tourists, and its a great place for shops and such, and has some great shops and beaches.

Corralejo is at the extreme north, and is considered by lost of people to be the tourism capital with caleta de fuste coming a close 2nd, at least for the Brits and Irish.

Come and visit us in costa caleta, and wherever you stay (or whatever its called), you’ll have a great time.

Poisonous Snakes

Posted By admin

Date: January 30th, 2009

Category: Pets

Poisonous snakes can surely cause fear and some of the most negative feelings towards some this crawling part of the animal world. The venom of poisonous snakes has such a lethal impact that it can kill one in no more than thirty minutes, not to mention the risk of getting blind if any of the toxins are sprayed into the eyes. Although the risk of bites remains high when you accidentally come across them, poisonous snakes are creatures like all others but rely on their venom to survive: snakes only envenomate to hunt or defend themselves . The rest of the negative impression on snakes results from a faulty perception powered by ancient myths.

Poisonous snakes

The venom structure complexity is amazing: the paralysis and eventual death of the prey are caused by a smart combination of proteins and toxins. The toxin attacks the muscles, the lungs and the heart, and starting from this way of action scientists have identified poisonous snakes into species that destroy blood vessels and start an unstoppable hemorrhage, venomous species that paralyze the heart and, last but not least, others that inflict terrible muscle pain. Corals and cobras would thus occupy the first positions in a top of the most poisonous snakes.

The intricacies of snake venom still make the subject of comprehensive scientific studies. The only cure for poisonous snakes bites consists of the emergency antivenin administration. Certain elements do influence the victim’s chances of survival: thus, an identification of the snake is necessary as well as the proper location of the bite. If there is too much time between the moment of the bite and the administration of the antivenin, serious health damage or even death could occur. Furthermore, there have been cases of patients who developed instant allergies to poisonous snake bites or to antidotes and died.

Poisonous snakes

Rattlesnakes are the most common poisonous snakes in America, and they are the ones to cause most of the bites, yet lethal outcomes of such incidents have become a rarity these days since medical assistance is usually very readily available. The water moccasin, the copperhead and the cottonmouth belong to the same poisonous family as the rattlesnake; they are highly poisonous snakes which you should avoid by all means possible. Snake phobia could thus be developed because of a dangerous encounter with some poisonous snakes or this excessive fear can be the result of sociological ancestral traditions that are present even with people who have never felt threatened by a snake.
