Its ok to cook and prepare food with, but to drink, and for coffee and tea, I recommend you buy bottled drinking water. It's available everywhere, in 5 and 1 litre plastic bottles. Keep your water intake high while staying in a hot country especially if you intake of alcohol is higher than usual. Canarian Recipes FOOD Supermarkets carry all of the normal essential European and Spanish foods.
Imported foods are more expensive than local produce.
Spanish food is very simple and extremely tasty, meats and fish tend to be cooked over open grills and served with chips and salads. Casseroles made with fresh produce are common. Pastas and pulses and garlic are widely used in Spanish cooking. Fresh herbs are also carefully used a great deal, giving the simply cooked recipes wonderful flavours. The commonest Canarian meals tend to be a fresh salad starter, served with small sausages, or beans, fresh bread and sauces.
