Under an island employment plan, the Island Council are organizing courses on bread and cake making at the Agricultural Market - part of the Rural Park's management office complex - here in the El Palmar valley, near Buenavista del Norte.
On Monday and Tuesday mornings, between February 20 and April 18, participants, principally from around the area of the Parque Rural de Teno, will be able to learn artisan methods of making bread and about traditional cake and pastry making.
Pupils will learn about the traditional breads, cakes, pastries and deserts of the area including; the different types of bread, creams and fillings, pastry, cakes, rolls, etc.
Thankfully, I don't need a course to eat them! :)

NB: A Farmers Market is held approximately every other Sunday (every first and third Sunday, I believe) in El Palmar.
You'll find some wonderful local produce: fruit and veg grown in mostly organic conditions, plus homemade cakes and sweets, as well as local arts and crafts. Take the turning off the main road through El Palmar (TF-436), opposite La Montañeta, towards Teno Alto and the market is just there on the right.
