Canarian people are known for their friendliness and kindness, aspects that can be seen reflected when they celebrate festivities or parties. One of these parties are the Carnivals, which are considered the second best carnivals in the world after Rio de Janeiro´s Carnivals. During the festivity people enjoy being together for a few days on the streets and the city is completely crowded with people dressed in amazing costumes.
But if you really want to enjoy the most characteristic atmosphere of the islands, you cannot miss the popular festivities that take place between March and September and are known as “Romerías” (pilgrimages). In these people dress in the typical costumes of the different islands and enjoy the most traditional festivals.
And, of course, we cannot overlook the great nightlife we find in cities such as La Laguna, Santa Cruz or Playa de Las Americas.
In the Canary Islands we can enjoy typical very simple dishes as well as delicacies. Some of these dishes are “papas arrugadas” (wrinkled potatoes), fish, different cheeses (among which are many with international awards), mojo (Canarian sauce), barraquito (Canarian coffee with cinnamon, condensed milk and lemon) ... dishes that make Canarian gastronomy well considered by all those who visit the Island.
From the first moment that you arrive in the Canary Islands you will begin to enjoy the landscapes and characteristics of the place. In Tenerife a walk around in El Teide National Park, El Monte de Las Mercedes, El de La Esperanza, Los de Anaga, by Masca ... will make you fall in love with the island immediately because of its beauty and contrasts.
