Canary Islands Gastronomy – Get Up. Get Out. Get Lost.
Get Up. Get Out. Get Lost.
Come along with me as I continue to get lost – and find myself – all around the world.
La Noche de Finaos is a tradition in the Canary Islands, linked to All Saint´s Day and held on October 31 annually (the same day as Halloween). Like All Saint´s Day, Finaos in the Canaries celebrates, honors and remembers friends and family who have passed on. Families get together to share a meal, play music and remember stories of deceased loved ones.
Perched above deep volcanic valleys and ravines sits the sleepy, whitewashed town of Moya, where time has seemingly stood still. Children play in the small plazas and old women guard the town from their intricately carved wooden balconies. Church bells ring and old men stop to chat about the weather or yesterday's match. There's something timeless about an afternoon in Moya, as if this is what's always been and what always will be.
Eating my way through the Canary Islands has been and continues to be one of my favorite parts of living in this little corner of the world.
