Restaurante Molino Blanco
Speaking of the high-life in Tenerife, Leslie from Scribbles from Tenerife mentioned the Restaurante Molino Blanco, where he took the wife for a Valentines dinner on Tuesday.
Leslie says the restaurant is one of the better known ones. Well, I, for one, wasn't aware that there is an old style windmill and a building that recreates an old country house with a "Patio", slap bang in touristy Las Americas!
There's plenty of them here in the north and they are real.
But you should see the clientele they draw:
Famous personalities such as legend Jose Feliciano, international singer Luis Miguel, American singer Mariah Carey, Mexican band Maná, Mexican singer Paulina Rubio, among others …
Including a singing Tenerife Scribbler. Well, at least they've survived something worse than Mariah Carey then! :)
(Hey, before you crucify me over that last comment, I happen to think she has an amazing voice, but something Greg Edwards said on Soul Spectrum last week, highlighted the reality. She has released masses of records, but can you actually remember one of them? Quite. If it was quality, you would have.)
All joking aside, it is good to see that the south is providing some "typical Canarian" flavour amongst it's recent efforts at an image clean up, even if it is recreated. This, sadly, was rarer than rocking horse poo last time I set foot in the resort. :)

After the night I had a Russian squaddie singing along to a karaoke disk of Russian marching tunes, beleive me, I am prepared for ANYTHING!
If you're not careful Ms Heywood, I shall podcast the Scribbler's version of 'My Way'. Even your experience as a karaoke compere will not have prepared you for this... Sid Vicious was positively melodic.
But despite all that, it's still a helluva lot better than Mariah Carey.
