We’re lucky to have a great sociedad close by, the Centro Socio La Tegala is situated in the main plaza of Haría and the cultural centre for the pueblo.
Recently we set out one evening to eat at another one of our local restaurants, unfortunately the Puerta Verde was closed although Stuart did let us in for a drink or two whilst he was preparing to open the following day. We wandered around the corner into the plaza to the sociedad, the four of us really fancied eating fresh fish so ordered pescado frito with a portion of gambas al ajillo and croquetas de pescado to share as a starter.
We had only just walked from read more » |

"Finca Ecológica Tres Peñas" is situated in Tías. It’s land was bought by Manuel Peláez in 1999 when it was bare and disused. He has since brought it back to life and in 2001 the plot obtained the Regional Certificate of Ecologic Agriculture (CRAE - Certificato Regional de Agricultura Ecológica).
You might have seen their stall at the Tías or Arrecife markets on Saturdays and the Teguise one on Sundays. Also amongst their clients they count the Hotel Princesa Yaiza, Lilium Gastropub, Canarian Restaurant La Tegala and the Centro de Terapia Antroposófica - El Mundito Verde.

13th May 2012 The Rojillos finished the season in style sweeping aside sixth placed side Estrella but this was not enough to claim the final playoff spot. The match began in soaring temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius and was somehow played at a fast pace with the Rojillos intent on doing the business and hoping C.D. Vera would slip up against Las Palmas B. The Rojillos had to win and as long as C.D. Vera didn’t win then Lanzarote would grab fourth position claiming the final playoff spot.

The Rojillos dominated possession and were rewarded seconds before half time. Echedey beat his right back and centred in a great cross; Toñito timed his run with perfection and glanced his header into the bottom right hand corner sending his side 1-0 up. As the Rojillos went for a cold shower during the half time break with a 1-0 lead they would have also heard that C.D. Vera also were winning by the same score. The Gran Canarian side who held read more » |
