  Tenerife is served by two airports, Tenerife North Airport and Tenerife South Airport. Tenerife is the economic capital of the Canary Islands.
  The capital of the island, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is also the seat of the island council. The city is the capital of the autonomous community of Canary Islands, sharing governmental institutions such as presidency and ministries. Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927, Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands.
context_section_description: The fish dishes along with the meats are often accompanied by wrinkly potatoes (papas arrugadas). This is a typical Canarian dish which simply refers to the way the cooked potatoes look. They are boiled in their skins, in water with lots of salt, and the water is allowed to evaporate, leaving a salty crust.
