Juan Martín is a journalist at Teneriffa News. He grew up in the Canary Islands and has therefore known the archipelago since childhood. Much of his research begins where others go on holiday.

Juan's excellent command of German and his background in journalism stem from many years spent in Germany. Whilst studying there, Juan worked in the print editorial departments of various local newspapers, long before the online boom transformed the media landscape. The working methods he learnt there - thorough, linguistically clear and well-researched - continue to shape his style to this day.

Anyone who meets Juan Martín in the Canary Islands will find a calm, curious observer who enjoys listening, researching and, above all, being out and about: on hiking trails, in coastal towns or chatting to people who have a story to tell. Real-life contact is more important to him than virtual interaction online. He maintains a small Instagram profile, but that's about it.

At Teneriffa News, Juan mainly reports on weather-related topics, as well as cultural issues and fiestas. Alongside this, he works as a freelance editor in the field of tourism and regional communications. In this way, Juan Martín supports local projects with articles, research and background knowledge on the Canary Islands.
