In matriarchal societies men are very happy. This is what the interview headline says: Anna Boyé published by the Catalan newspaper Ara a few days ago. Anna has been studying and analysing this type of society around the world for some time and speaks from experience.
It is time to announce the 10 finalists chosen by the jury of the competition #MadagascarConTuareg has selected. First, though, all the participants deserve credit for sharing animal images, the task in the first of our challenges. The competition hashtag on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram has suddenly filled with dogs, horses, lemurs, butterflies, flamingos, gorillas and all kinds of creatures.
Entries closed on Monday, 22 February. Since the competition was announced, more than 30 people, many of them travel bloggers, have signed up to take part. We thank them all for giving us their time and talent on social media.
Recently we presented a selection of travel photographs made among all those received in our contest. Now comes the turn of the videos, and we want to present the three finalist pieces of the Viajes Tuareg Photography and Video Competition.
The videos cover three exciting trips to three beautiful countries: Thailand, Russia and Tanzania. Watch the three shortlisted entries, tell us what you think, vote and take part. Your opinion can help us decide who will win the prize of 1,500 euros!
Our photo contest Our travels continue, and we are ready to announce an initial selection of images going through to the next round: 100 great photographs taken in every corner of the planet.
We have to thank all participants. We've received over 800 photos! So we were not exaggerating when we said this initial selection was very difficult, both because of the number of entries and their quality.
We have an extensive list of fantastic Trips planned for Easter. Follow the link to explore our suggestions. You will find routes with a clear emphasis on active, trips rich in culture, history, outdoor activities or unspoilt nature.
We are travelling to Madagascar and looking for someone to share the day-to-day journey on social media. Would you like to be our travelling reporter?
We invite you to participate in #MadagascarConTuareg, a competition organised by Viajes Tuareg and Turkish Airlines in which the winner will travel to Africa's great Red Island for 13 days to discover the country's wonders first-hand and share their experiences.
Madagascar is a huge island separated from Africa by the Mozambique Channel. Its highlights include its wildlife and landscapes, the famous baobabs and an endless list of species found nowhere else. It is a dream destination for any traveller who loves nature and adventure.
The Madagascar trip the winner will enjoy lasts 13 days. On 29 April, we will fly with the airline Turkish Airlines from Barcelona to the capital Antananarivo.
The impossibility of covering Madagascar in a single trip leads us to focus on the following highlights of the destination:
Greenland is the northernmost country in the world, located on the American continent between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, facing the Canadian coast on one side and the north-west of Europe on the other. Kalaallit Nunaat (the country's native name) is the largest island in the world, excluding the island continent of Australia, with a total area of 2,415,100 km². Just over 83% of Greenland is covered in ice, making it the world's second-largest ice reserve after Antarctica.
Greenland is one of the last remaining unspoilt and remote destinations on the planet.
Next week you will be able to find us in FITUR , the International Tourism Fair held in Madrid every year. Half the team heads to Madrid together to meet suppliers, customers, professional contacts and any friends who would like to stop by and say hello.
