In other parts of the world, you pay fortunes for one of these delicacies. In Tenerife there are so many fig trees growing wild that they honestly don't know what to do with them, though local dried figs can be bought in large bags. These are often served with local goat's cheese - as a starter - and are very popular.
The Problem with Tenerife is that there’s a Lack of TQM.
"when you pay a lot of money to produce a high quality book aimed at visitors to your island, it would only have cost a fraction of the budget to pay someone who speaks English as a first language to translate the English text into something more digestible.

Social crisis in Tenerife as crimewaves soar
"Local Police chiefs throughout the island say they are overwhelmed by the numbers of denuncias for thefts that they have to deal with, not just of empty premises, but now very often of premises where the owners were at home and asleep. The capital is the area most affected by the crimewaves, but this is no longer a phenomenon that can be said to be restricted to any particular area of Tenerife."
The hot weather warning in Tenerife has been extended through today, Sunday and Monday, whilst it’s been upgraded to orange level as temperatures are expected to top 38C. The authorities have decreed a fire ban in the hills. More info …

Tenerife style at the restaurant La Cabaña in Buenavista del Norte. Grilled cherne (grouper), mojo verde (corriader sauce), chips and salad. Normally I would order traditional papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), but I fancied chips for a change. This looks simple, but it was just so succulent, so delicious, I was close to licking the plate! They bring bread and Alioli (garlic mayo) to start. I had just water to drink and a small coffee after. Total cost, 10 Euros (about £6.75, 2006 prices.)
Orange Alert – Heat Warning & Barbecue Ban
"Tenerife Cabildo (government) has issued a new heat alert from 26th August for the next few days until officially cancelled. Temperatures are expected to hit 34 degrees plus and you are BBQs and fires are banned in the hills and mountains. "
Double glazing in the Canary Islands is close to the rareness of hen's teeth or rocking horse poo. And it just isn't considered necessary. On this house, modern aluminium windows have been fitted on the outside of the existing, traditional wooden, shuttered windows that had been warped by age and weather and no longer adequately or securely closed. Mind you, in winter here in the north and, especially against the sometimes battering north winds, I would beg to differ with the usual opinion and was immensely glad of it. And they certainly still have their uses year round, as the best way to keep cool in summer is to keep the shutters closed to keep the cool in. This photo, obviously, was taken one evening, when the setting sun reflected the tops of the Teno mountains on the glass.
Can You Trust Tenerife Hotel Reviews on TripAdvisor?
"TripAdvisor is an extremely valuable source of information, but its greatest strength, first hand views and opinions from real people, can also be its weakness.

Neither is it a fault if a hotel isn’t full of people of the same nationality as the reviewer."

Going Native in Tenerife: Summer Carnaval in Playa de las Américas
"although it’s not the real thing, at least it was a taster of an authentic carnaval parade. Credit to all those involved, they did it in the right spirit and the result was thoroughly enjoyable. Many visitors to the south are never going to make the trip to Santa Cruz or even Puerto de la Cruz, to see a full blown version; so at least the ‘summer carnaval’ will have given them some idea of the flamboyance and fun of carnaval in Tenerife.
"
It's a fact that whenever there is a fiesta, a whole army of beer stalls, food stalls, sweet vendors, market traders and more descend upon the town or village hosting it. Oh, never mind if you prefer Coke, I think they were only selling beer. :) That's what this guy bought, anyway - without even dismounting from his horse. At the point I took the photo, the stall holder was just handing him his change, after which he just casually rejoined the fiesta procession, swigging from the bottle.

When I watch the tourists who drive through the El Palmar valley, a few stop their cars at the side of the main road and take photos at a distance, of La Montañeta. But whenever I've gone for a stroll through the back roads or the village, I never, in over 9 years, ever come across any "strangers" veering off the beaten track. Do they realize what they're missing? You have to poke your nose into side alleys, let alone side roads - something that's true of anywhere - to see the best bits. From the main road in El Palmar, you wouldn't even see this alley. Even close, you see only modern frontages, but lurking behind are more lovely old houses.

"Tenerife’s been a victim of one-dimensional media coverage for years. In the past it painted an image of an island which was almost a British colony where lager louts ran wild and cordon bleu cookery meant the banger in your all-day breakfast had some herbs and spices in it."
One of the best ways to see some of the more unusual bits of Tenerife is to poke your nose into side alleys that often, at first, look entirely uninspiring. The best view of this alley is in the opposite direction, as it opens out onto Buenavista's central Plaza de los Remedios, but as we walk in this direction, the town’s oldest house is on our left and La Venta, shop and tourist office is on our right. Further down on the left, where the building is painted red, is the back of the Pasteleria Aderno (bakery) and, if you turn right there, you'll immediately arrive at the restaurant, La Cabaña, where I can confirm, they do a really good fish dinner.

The Replay On A Rising Musical Tide In Tenerife
"Some typical Tenerife non advertising meant that The Replay from Cumbernauld, Scotland arrived on the Plaza del Pescadora stage with no fanfare but after a great set of mod inspired indie rock they left with some new converts to their fledgling career."
There are prettier alleyways, of course, but this one, which leads directly off the tiny square next to the church in the village of El Palmar, does have it's very own kind of charm. The quaint little parked pivi - essentially a motorized box on wheels capable of high speeds up to about 10 miles an hour - that is still a very common mode of transport around here. Also, what I usually find is that behind these very plain facades, usually lurk - albeit humble - little palaces.

Fresh Drinking Water on Tenerife
"... it’s good to know if a particular route has fresh water springs on it so that you can safely carry less and re-fill en route. That’s why we always point out water fountains on our Island Walks."
"So go ahead, eat, drink, and be merry, for it makes no difference to God!"
[Ecclesiastes 9:7.] If ever there were any debate (and there is much opinion on the subject) about whether it’s a sin or social offense for Christians to drink wine or strong drinks, I think we can see the local opinion here in this "still life" that was arranged on a temporary altar set up outside the church of La Consolación in El Palmar, during the Corpus Christi celebrations. The church was closed for renovations and you could buy Christmas lottery tickets already in aid of the restoration, so I guess gambling is not considered sinful either.
The communion wine in the decanter could, of course, be anything, even just coloured water, but I doubt it here: real wine is probably cheaper. In the basket there seems to be bread, a bottle of local wine and a bottle of champagne!
Indeed, Ecclesiastes seems to have perfectly understood the spirit of Canarian festivals: "Well, one thing at least is good: it is for a man to eat well, drink a good glass of wine, accept his position in life, and enjoy his work, whatever his job may be, for however long the Lord may let him live" [Ecclesiastes 5:8.]

We take another flying visit across to the nearest neighbouring island of La Gomera today to the very stuff of myth and legends: the Chorros del Epina.
These seven “magical” fountains are intrinsically wrapped up in Gomera's very own Romeo and Juliet legend, involving Gara, a princess of Agulo on La Gomera and Jonay, the son of the mencey or king of Adeje on Tenerife.
According to the legend, "During the festival of Beñesmén, it was the custom of unmarried girls of Agulo to gaze at their reflections in the waters of the Chorros del Epina. If the water was clear, they would find a husband; if muddy, some misfortune would befall them. When Gara looked at the water, she saw her reflection clearly. However, she gazed too long and the sun's reflection blinded her temporarily. A wise man named Gerián told her that this meant that she needed to avoid all fire or it would consume her."
To cut a long story short, Jonay came to Gomera, they met, fell head over heels in love, then Teide began to erupt as if in disapproval of their union. So the parents called off the engagement and, as is customary in all these kinds of stories, rather than be separated, the pair took their own lives.
Not entirely in vein, since Gomera's Garajonay National Park is named after them.
Now I can't tell you when the the festival of Beñesmén is/was held, but I can tell you that festivals in honour of the patron saint of farmers - San Isidro - are held at the Chorros de Epina on May 15th each year. Source: GomeraLive.
Tradition also has it that if you want to find love, you have to drink from these fountains from left to right; men have to drink the odd numbered streams and women the even numbered ones. If you drink from all seven, you will marry within the year, but women who wish to become witches should drink from the men's (the odd) streams. I've read other stories that promise all kinds of luck, money, etc. Sadly for the romantics and other wishful thinkers in the audience, I'm going to advise you not to put any great store in them, but the chorros are a must visit while in La Gomera and, well, you never know your luck, do you? :)
