Pleasures of the Canary Islands: Wine, Food, Beauty, Mystery

Pleasures of the Canary Islands explores the hidden heart of the islands of eternal spring, the islands the Greeks believed might be the remnants of lost Atlantis. Writers Ann and Larry Walker offer unexpected, off-beat glimpses of these little known treasures, exploring them from the picture-perfect white sand beaches to the snow-capped volcanic heights, with plenty of time along the way to sample the delicious food and wines. This highly personal guide will tell you how to find the perfect tapas bar on bustling Tenerife or lead you to traditional bodegas on the tranquil island of Hierro, where wine is still made as ir was in the time of Shakespeare. AUTHORS: Ann and Larry Walker are based in Stintson Beach, California. Ann is a caterer and food and wine writer. Her restaurant, Cafe Tango, was the first tapas restaurant on the West Coast. Larry is a wine, food and travel writer. He is a wine columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and the U.S. editor for the London publications, Wine magazine and Wine & Spirit International.
