'Flattened' Rhythm
Life in the Canary Islands has a slower and more relaxed pace. Enjoy it and don't stress if things go slower.
The Sun Deceives
Thanks to the trade winds, the heat is not usually stifling, but the sun is very strong. Always wear sunscreen, even if it's cloudy.

Tap water comes from desalination plants. It is drinkable, but most people (locals and tourists) prefer to consume bottled water for its flavor.
