Experiences of a Tinerfeño in England
We could collect many stories of English folk living in Tenerife, but less often come across the experiences of a move in the opposite direction. It's hard to imagine anyone coming from Tenerife putting up with the British weather to start with.
However, this is exactly what Antonio Salgado did and lived in England for three decades. Now he has written a book, called "Bye, bye! Vivencias de un tinerfeño en Inglaterra (1974-2004)" (Bye, bye! Experiences of a Tinerfeño in England.)
The book brings together Salgado's personal recollections, as well as looking at the relations between the culture of adoption and the many young Canarians who travelled to the United Kingdom to study and learn English during that period. In a pleasant and affectionate manner, says the report, the writer exposes customs of the British families that he observed over time and, it says, which gives an idea of the social evolution of the hosts in the last few decades.
