Molina Blanco Restaurant

A special and highly recommended restaurant in Tenerife.

The Molina Blanco Restaurant is situated in San Eugenio Alto close to Aqualand. The word in Spanish means “white windmill”, which is just what you will find at the entrance to the restaurant.

For hundreds of years the staple food in the Canary Islands was gofio which is a flour which would have been milled in windmills such as the one at the Molino Blanco restaurant. Today few of these windmills survive.

It was relevant for Don Felipo, who founded the restaurant in the 1990s, as the windmill represents tradition in the Canaries.

The restaurant is consists of an indoor dining room and a garden terrace. But this is not just a restaurant, as it also offers a side order of entertainment, featuring live music in a romantic ambiance.

The top quality menu is made up of  a mixture of traditional Canarian and international dishes. The chef uses fresh seasonal produce including fish, meat, vegetables and fruit. The cuisine is traditional done really well, rather than being a challenging alternative to what our palates expect.

It isn’t too expensive either, with main courses averaging at 20 euros and starters for 12 euros. You can pay less than 100 euros for 3 courses and a bottle of wine for 2 people.

Pyramids of Guimar

rectangular terrace pyramid structures made from lava stone with no mortar

The Pyramids of Guimar are situated in the Chacona area of the town of Guimar, which is 40km south of Santa Cruz. They are terrace structures made from lava stones which are placed together with no mortar. They are clever constructions as the single thing which holds the structure together is the perfect and neat way the stones of different shapes and sizes have been placed together, closely knit with no gaps, making the structure strong.

There is a great deal of controversy over the reason for their existence. Some say that after the Spanish conquest, Spaniards were clearing the land for agriculture and piled the stones they found to make these structures. Others say that they are copied from the Egyptian pyramids. But for me a more likely reason is that they were built by the ancient Guanches. There is a cave under one of the pyramids which is known to have been used by the Guanches. It is 8 metres long and remains have been found there including beads from a necklace, earthenware fragments and fish and goat bones. The Guanches inhabited the island between 680-1020AD. It is also interesting that the town of Guimar, before the Spanish conquest, was home to one of the Kings of Tenerife, thereby making Guimar the capital. One would suppose that the pyramids were used by the Guanches in worship, which would include dancing, singing, wrestling and other sports.

Excursion to La Gomera

Canary Islands

La Gomera is the 2nd smallest island on the Canary Islands. It has a population of 24,000 people. The capital on the island is San Sebastian de La Gomera. It is also known as the Columbian island, because the explorer Christopher Columbus one stopped here for supplies.

Like Tenerife the Southern part of the island is known for it’s warmer weather. It reaches an average temperature of 22 degrees C all year round.

Since 1445 La Gomera was governed by Hernan Peraza I. His son Hernan Peraza the Younger was very cruel to the islanders, the Aborigines of La Gomera. Because of this there was a revolt, resulting in the violent death of Hernan Peraza the Younger. His wife Beatriz de Bobadilla, with the help of Pedro de Vera (Conquerer of Gran Canaria), put an end to the revolt, but she was also very cruel. She was married later to another important personality in the conquest of the Canaries, Alonso Fernández de Lugo. She also received Christopher Columbus on some of his visits to the island. She died in the court of Madrid in 1504.

In the 16th century, the island was attached by Dutch and British pirates. The worst of these raids was that of the Berbers which swept across the island.
