When the kids were young we were spending the day on a quieter beach, and next to us (have got the plum spot,right next to the rock face and erected their "tents" of old sheets and such) was a local family. They were snorkelling, as we were, and showed us how to open them and shared their "catch". They were absolutely yummy, prefered them to oysters, for instance. It was a magical day, but never tried them since. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for something different to perk up their taste buds.islandmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469519107758112851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669713822431221844.post-41026836523752775872010-07-20T14:04:12.244+01:002010-07-20T14:04:12.244+01:00It is a busy time culturally for sure...one of the...It is a busy time culturally for sure...one of the reasons why posts on here have been scarce of late.

Went up to Teatro Guimerá to see "Hamlet" and stumbled across it as we walked up to the theater. Then during the performance, we could hear the "canon" thundering, but didn't realize, until we came out what it was we heard. We though it was sound effects! This weekend, as that, there is so much else going on, too much, too much. The Moscow ballet is here in the south on the 23rd, 24th is triathalon in El Médano, Mumes concert in Auditorio and also photowalk in Los Cristianos.....agh the agonies of making choices!
