There Canarian traditions that should be left not really. One of them is:
fiestas celebrate as they come. This also applies to the German-Canary Society in Berlin. However, an ordinary summer appointment is necessary. And that was for Sunday, 6 July 2008 found. They met in the beautiful garden of a villa-Grunewald. Hostess Cristina Díaz-Guerra, president of Canarias en Berlín, was pleased with their good-humored people. The "Landeseinrahmung" of the Canary Sommerfiesta in Berlin was well chosen: On 6 and 7 July saw the rest of the world anyway fiestabegeisterte to Pamplona (San Fermin) and recalled Ernest Hemingway. The other part is embraced by the "Fiestas del Carmen", which are on different Canary Islands, also always held in early July. "We are just right," was the opinion of all.
songs about country and people
members and friends of the society, including children and grandchildren came, even to the past eventful first Half of the Canarian culture work in Berlin to celebrate and complete. In the background was a video of the 8th again to the Canary culture days remembered: "Son Gomero" the garden atmosphere freshened to Canary ... But the focus is brought to "life music" into play when Fernando Guerra canary sang folk songs accompanied by guitar. Text and a secure grip, they went over seas, the mountains, into the canyons and out to the beautiful, sometimes sad, often serious, but always hopeful life of the islanders. And a lot of "amor" could not be missing here ...
Canary cuisine. And paella?
revel in music and taste the first appetizer, such as queso de cabra asado con mojo verde, queso de cabra fresco, pan con chorizo, sausages parrilleros could not stop to fix the cuisine main course of the afternoon, the "cook" Fernando Guerra (more precisely in La Palma, and now in Berlin) in accordance with the freshest ingredients conjured: A Canarian paella. What? Have we expect a "tourist accommodation"? So bad it's not. Of course, the brilliance of the success of the English national team at the World Championships also shows the growing sympathy for the paella. The well-known traditional Canarian cuisine is not too short, if it, especially at larger parties, the "practical" means "ocean fresh" (see seafood) Paella still exist. Just the giant pan catches the eye of its own! Including contents therein and cooking before - even more.
Before, yes before paella was really a foreign concept among the Locals. But today we are in the Canaries a matter of course, paella. Not only because of the tourists, but also because the locals have come after several refinements of the paella. Because of "poor man's food"! As it goes more to the way the paella is created: the judge seafood, which exactly made of saffron, the sexiest shrimps or prawns, and even the "shots" of the white wine of a certain canary vine, etc., etc. Anyway, it was Fresh imported ingredients from La Palma and the freshly imported Fernando, who did not paella are unique! The people of Valencia would turn green with envy guaranteed. Paella is not just paella!

Then when the inevitable papas arrugadas that berenjenas was rebozadas and even
another half tourist Refrences to the peninsula, tortilla española made the rounds and tickled the palate, it finally and after time for dessert, of course, café con leche, flan con miel de palma, bien me sabe con helado de vainilla, hhmmmm!
calls and songs woven together, finally to a Canary Island wall of sound, seasoned with ingredients English and German seasonings. The evening ended with a good program ideas for the next half year, best wishes for the busy summer holidays.
Na then, happy holidays at home in the Canary Islands or at home in Germany or anywhere in the world. Goodbye to September!
