A Grand Night Out in Tenerife For Five Euros
Tonight's party for the Fiestas de Mayo in Santa Cruz promises to be both a spectacular event and a spectacular bargain to boot. It will be a night filled with typical Canarian folk music and dancing, plus a dinner, which starts at 21:00, for 6,000 people seated around 600 tables set up in the streets around the old part of Tenerife's capital city.
For just five euros per head (about £3.50), party goers will get all the entertainment thrown in, plus a four course dinner menu with starters of cured goat's cheese with spicy mojo (recipe) sauce, dried figs with almonds and almogrote (recipe) tarts.
This is followed by Rancho Canario and for main course, Cod (Bacalao encebollado) and Papas Arrugadas (Wrinkled Potatoes). For desert, quesillo with palm honey and nuts.
Thirty raffle prizes include; a holiday to Mallorca, trips to see the whales and dolphins, weekends in rural hotels in Vilaflor and even a 45 day old suckling pig or goat kid!
Personally, I conclude that we go to all the wrong parties! :)
The Flowers, Plants and Crafts Fair is open from 11:00 today and various things such as street theatre, puppets and music will be going on in the streets from 17:30 onwards.
