Our food in La Gomera 2

In Valle Gran Ray, our little apartment had a kitchen. Very basic accommodation, but not as basic as Costas(in Greece). It had lovely view from our balcony. Almost every night we had our dinner outside. Some evenings were little chilly, we ate inside. Very cozy and I noticed, the land lady seemed to like IKEA. Lots of IKEA things in the apartment. Our apartment was on top of floor. The landlady, Maria and her family lived downstairs. Top 2floors were apartment. 5 rooms in total to let. First two nites we had back room, after our next door, dutch couple left, we had their room. 'cuz, they had the best view from the balcony. They were very pleasant and eazy to talked to. They offered us some wine. Bless. We only drunk water. (and some smoothies and fresh juice) Anyway, both apartment had nice big fridges to keep our vegetables in. Price of veggies weren't cheap. Lots of products were transported from Teneriff. Bananas were reasonable though and very tasty. Smaller in sizes compare to Jamaicans or South Americans. Also, slightly pinky and rough surface. Taste? Sweet. I am now big fan of Canary Bananas. We went there last year, since then, I was dreaming about eating those bananas. I didn't want any waste and didn't wanna buy too many vegetables either. Last year, we spend lots on foods. Couldn't help myself, it was my first visit, as usual, I wanted to try all different things and lovely products. I really enjoyed it anyway. Anyway, I ended up using same vegetables almost all the way to our holiday. But I tried to cook different dishes. First night, we were really tired from travelling, so I cooked quick meal. And had them our little balcony!

Quinoa with smoked tofu and tomato salsa. All food I cooked there in La Gomera were very similar. Two nights we stayed in place called Hemigua. It was situated between vallies and about 1hour from Valle Gran Ray. Very peaceful town. (Please see my other blog for more info) There, we stayed very nice apartment hotel. Breakfast was provided and when requested veggie option, they gave us nice avocado and salad. Bless. They had their restaurant in their main building, 14euro for set meal. I'm sure there were yummy. We still had some vegetables left. and we found a communal cupboard where people left their dry foods, toiletries and anything they didn't want carry for on their way back. We thought it was very good idea to do that. Recycling! So I had some left over lentils from the cupboard and cooked rice and lentil salad with vegetables. We found local green grocers on the bottom of the road(about 5mins by car), this granny had little shop with fresh vegetables in front of the shop. When we got there, 3 other granny were there and all of them were chatting away. It reminded me of long time ago in my days in Fukushima summer holiday. Very peaceful and country!!!!☺☺☺☺
