A group of 50 expats from the south of the Island had a great day out in Arico Nuevo at Tasca Zurrapa, where there was an exhibition including demonstrations of how the Guanches lived, Guanches being the original inhabitants of the Islands.
A good time was had by all, even having a typical four course meal:-
Grilled Goats Cheese
Papas Arrugadas with Mojo Sauces
Meat,Potatoes and corn
Quesillo
Plus lots of local wine.
Displays of the Guanche way of life was enacted by Paco and Maria who dressed in the typical clothes made of goat skin, there was a video explaining how the Guanches lived, farmed and fished to survive.
The visitors really got involved when they where shown how the Guanches made fire with sticks, some having a go themselves.
A large display of Guanche pots, tools and adornments were on display.
