Carnival Celebrations in the Canary Islands

When I told people I was headed to the Canary Islands, most folks responded with some form of a “W” word. Where? What? . . . and the ominous Why?


Some had heard of the islands, but couldn’t quite place them. Most had not.


Even as I finalized this trip from many possible choices, I wasn’t quite sure myself where or what these islands were. Or if canaries would become a dominant theme in some strange Hitchcock-like way.


I flew into North Tenerife; and, for the first time in many years, I entered a new land alone—one where I did not speak the language and one where I had few preconceptions.


Sometimes, that’s the best way to go. Travel adventures of the memorable kind.
