Vincci la Plantacion Hotel "Remembers Flavours"

Vincci la Plantacion Hotel in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, together with the Adeje council, arranged a gastronomic event "Remembered Flavours" at their hotel - the 2nd to be held following the success of last year's event.

The idea behind it is to get young chefs together with some senior citizens in order that the chefs can learn about the traditional recipes in order to bring back Canarian cooking traditions. The event centred around a competition whereby the young chefs had to use ingredients from Tenerife and prizes were awarded in various categories with the winners awarded a weekend at the Vincci la Plantacion Hotel - a 5 star luxury exclusive hotel with views over the Atlantic and over to the island of La Gomera, and only 500m from El Duque beach.

Hotel Botanico - Tenerife luxury Hotel for the famous

Botanico & The Oriental Spa Garden - or more widely known as just Hotel Botanico - is located in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Puerto de la Cruz is the largest of the resorts in the north of the island and is the oldest. A former fishing village is was unexpectedly promoted to principal port when a volcanic eruption destroyed the town of Garachico in 1706.

Hotel Botanico is a 5 star luxury, prestigious hotel located in the quiet district of La Paz close to the botanical gardens. The centre of Puerto de la Cruz is, however, only 1.5km from the hotel.

Owned by the same family who owns the Loro Parque, it recently played host to the King Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife, Sofia, when they come to officially open the new giant telescope on the nearby island of La Palma.

Other famous visitors include the late Michael Jackson who is known to have stayed there on several occasions and also Bill Clinton [in fact there is a Bill Clinton Suite].

Giant Wheel for Las Palmas

Las Palmas in Gran Canaria is hoping to install a giant wheel in its centre - similar to the London Eye, which will hopefully attract more visitors to the capital. It transpires that Gran Canaria's tourist board has been in discussions with the city council and is looking for a suitable site in Las Palmas.

However, there is opposition to the idea and although several sites have been proposed, none of them currently fulfil the accessibility and safety requirements. It is feared that if the wheel is placed too close to the city's main roads driver will automatically stop/slow down to look up at it which could lead to accidents.

The favourite location for the wheel is the plaza at the Santa Catalina bus station.
