Simposio, Puerto del Carmen

Simposio is a restaurant overlooking the harbour in the old part of Puerto del Carmen (Calle Teide).

Run by a German couple, it has 4 tables on the balcony and more inside, where there is also a bar.

The food is a mixture of canarian sea-food and German cuisine. Two noteworthy dishes are the fish platter (three pieces of freshly cooked fish) or the meat pan (chicken breast, pork medallions and a steak).

You are advised to book well in advance as on some nights all the tables have been reserved for several days! The telephone number to book is 928 515112.

The restaurant opens at 6pm and is closed on Mondays.

Landing at Arrecife

I found this video on YouTube – it was made on board an aeroplane landing at Arrecife. The airport is situated on the coast and the plane is coming in from over the sea. Out of the window you can see the typical white buildungs next to the airport, in the far left of the picture maybe even of the end of Puerto del Carmen.
