Isn’t it just typical? On the day I get a last minute call to head over to the other side of the island and interview the dishy 1987 Wimbledon Singles Champion Pat Cash, I’ve got a spot on my chin and my roots need doing. This is the work of the little vanity imp who [...]
When you grow up in hotels like Grosvenor House and the Waldorf because your father worked there, then your standards are bound to be high.
But Adrian Padina didn’t just walk into his job as Hotel Manager at the 5 star, deluxe Abama Hotel, he started from the bottom, collecting glasses in a holiday camp on [...]
On Friday 28th March, Chuck Berry played the Palacio Municipal de Deportes in Santa Cruz to a full house which included our Art & Production Director, Jurgen Koch.
Jurgen declared that, despite a few “dodgy guitar moments” it was a good concert and well worth going along, especially to hear the original guitar anthem “Johnny B [...]
In one of Casino Royale’s heart-stopping moments, 007 reaches under the dashboard of his Aston Martin DBS for the defibrillator that can save his life after he’s been poisoned by a digitalis-spiked cocktail.
Unfortunately, neither the defibrillator nor, even more unfortunately Daniel Craig, come as standard on Aston Martin’s latest release, but the V12 engine, carbon-ceramic [...]
This month’s special feature has been a stroll in the park…literally.
With watches poised to move to British Summer Time, I’ve been checking out nature’s offerings in what some believe to be the site of the Greek mythological Garden of Hesperides – this beautiful island of Tenerife.
I have, at various times over the past two weeks, [...]
Jack’s been investigating Canarian cheeses and, as part of his research, invested in a whole goat’s cheese – not cheese made from a whole goat, just a whole circular block of goat’s cheese from Arico.
My initial mild concerns that this investment may prove to be wasteful were laid to rest when, after the first day’s [...]
Congratulations to Jurgen Koch, our Production & Art Director who, it seems, has been doing a little extra production work on the side which has resulted in the birth of his first child, Laura.
Jurgen and his partner Lucía, joked about the possibility of Laura arriving on the 29th February and as a result of all [...]
You’d think that after 4½ years of traversing this island from coast to peak that I’d have pretty much seen it all by now. After all, it’s hardly Australia size. And in terms of driving around the island, that’s probably true.
But when it comes to exploring on foot, there are still multitudinous places I have [...]
When it comes to religious festivals, it’s easy nowadays to lose sight of what they’re supposed to be about.
in the UK, Christmas has become a time for economists to benchmark the strength of consumer spending as shops look forward to their busiest season of the year and Easter is the pinnacle of sales for confectionary [...]
Now that the last Rumba sleeve has disappeared over the carnival horizon for another year, I’ve been investigating the strong ties between Tenerife and the Americas, or more specifically, Cuba.
When the lure of the New World beckoned poverty stricken farmers from these shores to venture beyond World’s End, it began a relationship that was to [...]
