La Palma's first beer, Garimba

Garimba beer, made on La Palma

La Palma now has its own brewery, in Los Llanos, brewing Garimba beer.

Garimba is Palmeran slang for a beer. It's a very mild tasting beer, flavoured with lupins rather than hops, and I really liked it.

Los Cancajos gets another blue flag

Los Cancajos beach has passed the Blue Flag standard for the tenth year running. I checked with Wikipedia. “Compliance with Blue Flag criteria requires adherence to strict water quality standards, safety standards, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria, set by the Foundation for Environmental Education.”

I’ve got used to having a lovely, clean beach on the doorstep. This is a reminder that I shouldn’t take it so much for granted.
