Sundays is always market with a lot of cheap things, they have a lot of people from north Africa here. Morocco is very close, From the Island Fuerteventura on a clear day you can see the coast of Africa.
The Market is at the Puerto where the big Cruisers come in, so there are are always lots of tourists. All you can hear is the stall sellers calling out (todo dos euro euro) all just two euro. I have learnt a few things along the way. For example: 1.you cant translate sayings from English to Spanish. 2 You cant take the country with you when you relocate. 3 Literally translating does not work. 4 Don't always say in Australia we do bla bla bla. 5 When people talk loud with hand and feet it does not mean they are angry. 6 Banks close at 2 pm. 7. Its harder to make friends here. 8 It is pretty safe to walk at nights on the streets. 9 Food is one of the most important things 10 Give your stomach time to adjust to all the different dishes. ( i was sick a lot at the beginning).
11.Toast bread comes without crust.The fashion is completely different here.
It only rains very seldom, and the streets are always full of people. Life gets busy to a late hour of the night. Every bar, restaurant no matter how tiny has at least 2 tables on the street. Bars and little restaurants are plenty. The people are friendly and helpful.
I hope i have given you some more insight of my life here in Canary Island
