En busca de productos canarios en Berlín

Para ver el partido de fútbol de esta noche (Arsenal - Barcelona) con unos amigos alemanes (Ümit, Magda y tres amigos de ellos), se nos ha ocurrido hacer una pequeña degustación improvisada de productos canarios.



Para ello, hemos realizado una busqueda exhaustiva por todo Berlín desde el famoso mercadillo del barrio turco (Kreuzberg), pasando por varias cadenas de supermecados alemanas, hasta llegar al prestigioso centro comercial KaDeWe.



Solo hemos podido encontrar productos como el Mojo Picón o los mismisimos platanos canarios, así que tendremos que improvisar los platos para esta pequeña degustación.

Entrevista a una canaria residente en Berlín

En nuestra travesía por Berlín, nos hemos encotrado con Ylenia, una chica canaria que reside actualmente en la ciudad. Nos ha confesado que a pesar de estar viviendo una gran experiencia en Berlín, en la distancia valora su tierra mucho más que antes y se considera afortunada de ser canaria y de representar a sus islas fuera de ellas.

No os perdaís la entrevista. ¡Merece la pena!

Alfredo Kraus and Las Canteras Beach (Gran Canaria)

The tour of the Las Canteras is situated few meters from the beach. Its length is about 3 kilometers making it ideal for me to maintain physical fitness by the practice of 'jogging' at the same time to enjoy a unique atmosphere, filled with bars and restaurants, live music, artists performing their work, male statue, etc and also the freshness of the sea.



At one end of the walk you can find the Alfredo Kraus auditorium where I could enjoy the concert of Pedro Guerra, and make my fringe of the institute and, in turn repeat scenario for the fringe of the university. This is a beautiful place because of its large size and in addition to the large window through which you can see the sea.

Castillo del Romeral (Gran Canaria)

The "Castle Romeral" is a small fishing village located in the southwest of the island of Gran Canaria.

Upon arrival, we find the small fishing port, where small boats highlight colors and fishing nets in the sea. Facing the marina can eat at the famous fishermen's guild, where fresh fish is the specialty, besides being very tasty food.


On the other hand, you're resting, you can walk a few minutes around 2 swimming pools with sea water, which are near the sea. The image of the pools is very pretty, and is a safe place to stop to take pictures and swim with the fish that are within the pools.

In addition, we find many fishermen with their fishing poles along the coast. An ideal image to photograph.

Surf in Las Canteras (Gran Canaria)

My first experience was this summer surfing at the beach in the Las Canteras, to be exact in the area known as the Ciser. It is a good place to learn and that brings good waves and in turn is a site considered dangerous if you are careful. On a personal level was a big challenge because I never imagined being able to get up on a table and balance, and to be my first time I did anything wrong.

However, that of falling so many times in the attempt and made quite frustrated when they had just given back to the full body hurt. But in short I had with it is something that repeated again, plus once you have made something that had long been wanting to do.

Arinaga Beach (Gran Canaria)

The Arinaga is located in the southwest of the island of Gran Canaria.

From the lighthouse Arinaga to the port, we can find several beaches where you can enjoy diving, sunbathing, fishing or hiking.





I had the fortune of passing my childhood at the beach of Arinaga. It's a nice and relax beach, where I could learn how to fish, throw stones to the water, how to swim, and dive. Here you can observe one of the best sundowns of the island. One of the best memories I have here is the afternoon i first fell in love and gave my first kiss.

Arinaga Lighthouse and Cabron beach (Gran Canaria)

In the southwest of the island of Gran Canaria you can find two wonderful places.

The first is the Arinaga Lighthouse, where you can feel the wind in your face, and admire the stunning views seen from the beach of "Cabron" and Arinaga beach.
Today the lighthouse is under construction, but we can approach him and take pictures of the lighthouse and the landscape.



On the other hand we find the beach of "Cabron" A spectacular place inhabited by very few houses along the beach, but under the water lies a great treasure.
Cabron is a marine reserve, ideal for scuba diving activities due to its rich flora and fauna.

Honestly, if you're a fan of diving, I recommend without hesitation, come to this place.
