Festival Guayota 2008 in Garachico

Whilst we've already published a list of some of the highlights for this week and weekend, another couple of events popped up on our radar that simply could not be ignored ...

First item on the agenda is the Festival Guayota 2008, that's being held on the esplanade at the port in Garachico.

From 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 19th, there will be various activities going on including inflatable, bouncy castles and archery. That's what caught our eye really. How advisable is it to have those two activities side by side?

Let's hope they have some rubber repair kits handy. :)

Then from 9 p.m. there will be a rock concert with singer-songwriter, Agustín Ramos, Autodate Folk Band and the local band from Garachico, who, for some reason, go by the very (un)typical Garachico name of The Warners.

Mind you the word Autodate is a Canarian mispronunciation of an English term "out of date". So the story goes, some seed potatoes imported from England had a label announcing that they were "out of date". The labourers didn't understand this and took it to be the type of potato, hence there is now a type of potatoes grown on the island of Tenerife, called Autodate!
