Ice Cold Dorada
I’m more of a vino tinto than a beer kinda girl, unless it’s light beer and when I’m amongst tropical vibes. Call me an occasional beer drinker.
Arriving in Tenerife, Spain the whole airport was screaming: Welcome to the island of Dorada! Like the beer was a monument. So, to help boosting the Spanish economy and ofcourse not to offend the Canarian, I ordered Dorada on hot sunny moments instead of ordering a Coca Cola, Corona, Heineken or Carlsberg. Ordering non-Spanish beer in my honest opinion is just plain rude haha
When at the Canary Islands nothing can beat an ice cold glass of Dorada with olives, Boquerones (anchovies marinated in vinegar, served with olive oil and garlic) or fresh seafood like squid or tuna in vinaigrette available at the local tavernas, bars and cafe’s. Yes, the ones with over branded sunshades, plastic or metalic garden chairs on the terrace with light boxes on the facade with fonts graphic designers will loath or think it’s adorable. That’s Tenerife!
Don’t let the appearance fool you. When tapas are made with love and good ingredients, it’s made with just that no matter how the joint looks like. Order Dorada on the side and enjoy!
Looking for a more idyllic scenery? One with Spanish tiles and pictures of ladies dancing in their dotted dresses. You’d probably find more in mainland of Spain haha
