I editor‘s letter
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the Canary Islands are, for most of the time, a pretty good place to live.If you have spent more than a few years here and set up home, are working and raising a family, you tend to forget the pluses concentrating, as you do, on the day to day stuff, mortgages, keeping the fridge full, school runs...So now and then it makes sense to stop and smell the Canarian roses.There are very few places in the world that have the enviable climate we can pretty much rely upon here in the Canary Islands. Apart from the odd wet (ok, in recent times very wet!) day, most of the islands experience delightful climates, with a trip to the beach an all-year-around choice. The other thing that maybe we take for granted, or perhaps don’t allow ourselves to experience, is the richness of the diverse cultures around us. We live in a real salad bowl of nationalities, identities and backgrounds. Taking your child to school the likelihood is that there are parents from Spain, South America, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, England, Ireland, Belgium, Croatia, all chatting away in their differing levels of Spanish, exchanging news about their kids, who are and represent the next generation of Canarians. With just a smattering of Spanish we can delve into the rich cultural mix that we have here, and making friends with people we might never meet living our ‘old’ or other lives. It’s a huge plus, one we might not make the most of, but there to be exploited.If someone is asking about coming to live in the Canary Islands it’s hard to know what to advise – if you live here and made the move you often know instinctively who is going to make it and who won’t. But those who are almost guaranteed to get the most out of their time here are those who see the full picture and are willing to take the plunge and find out what the real Canaries, beyond the sea and sun, are all about.

I editor‘s letter
As we go to press news has come in that for the � rst time in 18 months the number of tourists to Spain increased, and that increase is also re� ected in tourists visiting the Canary Islands.While it’s far far too early to breathe anything but a whisper of relief, it’s no bad thing to let people know that corners just might be about to be turned. So much of the brunt of this global economic crisis has fallen on small shoulders, those of individuals struggling to keep heads above water – not easy with a � nancial burden of these dimensions bearing down upon you. And given that most of our readers depend either directly or indirectly upon tourism the effects have been felt heavily. In time of belt tightening luxuries such as foreign holidays are among the � rst things to go, and they went...No-one wants to be over optimistic, nor start looking to spend, spend spend. And across the board it is forecast that even when the crisis is well and truly over and there is more disposable income around again, people will continue to look for value for money in a way they didn’t do before the � nancial bubble burst. That’s good news for quality destinations and tourist businesses though, and is the right kind of spur to those looking to emerge from these doldrums. Quality, and a good price:value ratio will win out in the end.

This exhibition forms part of the ample contemporary art collection Los Bragales, one of the most important private collections in Spain, and one which has taken the collector 20 years to amass.Organised and produced by TEA, it contains 50 works created between 1998 and 2009, the majority of which are photographs. This is the first time that the public have had the opportunity to view the result of this collector’s efforts, and contemplate a different perspective of that which is universal.The exhibition is presented in three sections, beginning with Estancias which contains 21 pieces depicting for example, grand libraries containing nothing and no-one, empty corridors leading to
mysterious places which you never see, or rooms in which only one chair can speak to anyone who contemplates its history. Emptiness within an area created by man.The second section, Residencias, takes you to streets and plazas, making them look as though they have just stepped out of the rural countryside, or complex urban scenes, and like Estancias, man is present without actually being there. In the third section, Presencias, the difference is that the centre of attention is man: we see faces, bodies, contemplative looks, hands, legs and gestures.This exhibition offers a private look at the Universe, each exhibit telling its own story and providing much food for thought.

I island scene
Slava’s Snowshow is unlike anything you have ever seen before – a world of wonder combining hilarity and poignancy with stun-ning spectacle and breathtaking images; an unmistakably unique comedy masterpiece.
The ensemble cast of clowns use water, cobwebs, bubbles and dry ice to dazzling effect; a world of wonder in which a bed becomes a boat, a cotton spider’s web envelops the audience and one tiny piece of paper begins a blinding, heart-stopping snowstorm that engulfs an awestruck audience in a blizzard of sparkling snowflakes.

Your new Marks & Spencer SIMPLY FOOD will be as fresh as the bread baked there.
The loss of a tooth, for whatever reason, be it acci-
dental, from a lack of general dental care or tooth
decay is not such a dramatic event as it used to be.
The advantages of implantology give us the chance
to smile once again.
When to have an implantThe loss of a natural tooth has always been a problem
whether for the function it performs or from the
aesthetic point of view. Replacement only used to be
possible by using a prosthesis which would be fixed
to the teeth next to the missing one – a complicated
operation to prevent chafing, and house the crown to
replace the missing tooth.
When the number and quality of the teeth was not
sufficient for the construction of a fixed prosthesis,
we had to make a moveable total or partial prosthesis.
Thanks to implantology, this type of prosthesis is on the
way to disappearing completely.
What is implantology?Dental implantology consists of inserting posts into
the mandibular or maxilar bone and once the post has

integrated with the bone, it can support an artificial tooth.Most posts are cylindrical and they come in various widths and lengths, so that they can be used in situations with different bone conditions. They are made of titanium, a metal which is often used in surgery for its biological neutrality, meaning that they are easy for the human body to accept., with minimum risk of rejection. After insertion of the post into the bone, we have to wait no more than four months before we mount the artificial tooth on the post. This tooth can be made of ceramic metal, resin or composite, and all these materials are of optimum aesthetic value.
Implant techniquesWith the traditional method, we have to make an incision in the gum and pull it away from the bone, and for this reason we have to use a large amount of anaesthetic.The good news is that the insertion of an implant using the latest techniques is done very quickly and is painless. The new ‘transmucosa’ or ‘flapless’ method is the least invasive. We insert the implants by creating a small opening with a calibrated dentist’s drill, without the use of a scalpel. This method has the following benefits:
n The patient needs less drugs prior to surgeryn A smaller dose of anaesthetic can be administeredn Scalpels are not usedn No stitching is requiredn There is less bleedingn The surgery takes less timen The operation is simpler and poses less risksn It is easy to take a plaster cast
n It is easier to create provisional teethn The surgery costs lessn There is no bruisingn There is no swellingn Post-operative discomfort or pain is reduced by 90 per
centn The patient needs less drugs following the operationn The risk of post-surgery infection is lown The return to normal life is rapid
Conscious sedationThe latest service offered is conscious sedation with maximum safety levels for the patient. This type of sedation consists of provoking a level of slightly depressed consciousness where the patient retains the ability to breathe independently and continually, and to respond to physical stimuli and verbal instructions. Throughout this process, the patient is checked and monitored by a specialist. This type of sedation can be used for adults and children, during implant operations or any other speciality treatment.

To get to Isla Baja from the south, take the TF-82 through Santiago del Teide, and from the north, the TF-5 through Icod, and you will see some beautiful villages which are not frequently visited by the majority of tourists.
Isla Baja, situated in the north-west of Tenerife, has many viewpoints (miradors) where you can park your car off the road, admire the stunning views and take photos. Take a look at the panoramic views which can be seen from La Atalaya or from the Lomo Molino viewpoints.It is a very relaxed and laid-back way of life in Isla Baja, or at least that is the way it seems to the visitor. Of the four municipalities making up the area, Garachico was originally the most important. It was the commercial capital of the island until its busy port and much of the town was buried under lava during the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706. The lava flows which reached the sea can be seen now in the form of numerous natural rock swimming pools. These are a must for visitors as you can walk along the many paths and spend hours watching tropical fish in their natural habitat.The olde worlde town centre still contains reminders of times gone by with its important historical buildings and cobbled streets.

a museum, is the starting point of a highly recommended walking tour.To reach El Tanque from Garachico, drive uphill towards San Pedro de Daute along the TF-421. El Tanque is a small country town which has benefitted from emigration in the past, with the money the emigrants sent back forming a large part of the local economy. It is situated within an agricultural district, surrounded by potato and cereal crops, grapevines and fodder for cattle which have formed the income of the local population for centuries. It is the only place in Tenerife where you can find vegetable patches for threshing.Alternatively, to get to Los Silos, take the TF-42. Los Silos is a picturesque little town whose initial commercial success was in the production of grain, cereals and sugar, hence its name. Surrounded by rolling green countryside suitable for trekking enthusiasts, it contains attractive plazas, traditional Canarian architecture and cobbled streets. Its church, the 16th century Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de La Luz forms the main attraction and is well worth a visit.
Further along the coast, we arrive at Buenavista del Norte, a small town with numerous attractions, now the home of a magnificent golf course, located next to the rugged and rocky natural coastline which houses enticing coves and which has a good footpath. This is an outstanding area for natural landscapes which has seen a growth in coastal and rural tourism in recent years. Despite this, it remains loyal to its traditions and has some beautiful settlements such as the valley of Palmar, Teno Alto, Masca and Los Carrizales.Along the coast you will find many places ideal for a swim and most importantly, an array of restaurants where you can stop and enjoy fresh fish with Canarian potatoes and mojo sauce at more than reasonable prices.The Teno Rural Park is a protected natural space where traditional architecture fits naturally into the beautiful landscape. It is a true paradise for nature enthusiasts, especially bird lovers, and belongs to the districts of Buenavista del Norte, Los Silos, El Tanque and Santiago del Teide.

SLS AMG
A fascinating supercar
the magazine 27
driving I
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a fascinating supercar which features a distinctively pure design, superior dynamics and levels of safety and everyday practicality which are the hallmarks of Mercedes-Benz.
The ideal weight distribution (47:53 percent between front and rear axles) and low centre of gravity underline the uncompromising nature of its sports car concept. With its unique gullwing doors, the SLS AMG is a true icon of automotive design with striking looks. The exciting interplay between concave and convex surfaces, combined with understated features such as retractable rear spoiler, create an unforgettable visual impact while classic sports car proportions, the long bonnet, wide track and short overhangs, heighten the car’s dynamism and power. The characteristic curved design of the opened gullwing doors extends to other parts of the car, the side mirrors, tail lights, the 3-spoke steering wheel, and the flow of the contrasting top-stitching from the centre console to the instrument panel. The interior offers the same level of sports styling as the exterior, with design elements from the worlds of aviation and motorsport apparent throughout.The SLS AMG is the first vehicle launched
by Mercedes-Benz and AMG to feature an aluminium chassis and body, generating a significant weight saving compared with traditional steel construction. The new bodyshell comprises an aluminium spaceframe weighing a mere 241 kg. By

using cast aluminium, components can be tailored for thickness depending on their load requirements, so maximum strength can be achieved at high stress points such as the roof side member which supports the gullwing doors. Where less strength is required components can be significantly thinner, offering major weight savings. This exclusive design offers outstanding rigidity, gives extremely dynamic handling and the aluminium spaceframe meets all passive safety requirements specified for a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The advanced AMG 6.3 litre V8 engine produces a peak output of 571 hp (420 kW) at 6,800 rpm, making this one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment. Accelerating from 0-62mph takes just 3.8
seconds. The 8-cylinder engine reacts with agility to the accelerator and demonstrates greater responsiveness across the entire engine speed range. Dry sump lubrication allows a significantly lower engine mounting position, with the resulting lower centre of gravity enabling high lateral acceleration and scintillating vehicle dynamics.The interior delivers authentic motorsport functionality, legendary Mercedes safety standards and outstanding ergonomic qualities. A range of fine materials, including nappa leather and real metal trim (real carbon trim available as an option), emphasise the hand-finished character of the SLS interior and reveal meticulous attention to detail. Electrically adjustable sports seats with integrated head restraints provide optimum lateral support and excellent comfort for long journeys. The AMG Performance leather steering wheel in 3-spoke design with flat lower section and 365mm rim, gearshift paddles, and real metal highlights emphasise the vehicle’s authentic hand-finished character, as does the attractive instrument cluster. Standard features include hand-stitched Designo leather with contrasting top-stitching on the instrument panel, sports seats, door interior trim and armrests. The Media Interface and DVD changer also feature as standard. Comfort can be enhanced with an attractive range of optional extras, including the new Bang & Olufsen sound system and the interior carbon package. The latest news is that there are plans for the SLS AMG to be produced with electric drive, meaning zero emissions. This would transform the vision of powerful emission-free super sports cars into reality thanks to an innovative drive system: powerful forward thrust is provided by four electric motors with a combined peak output of 392 kW and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. The four electric motors are positioned near the wheels, substantially reducing the unsprung

This intelligent all-wheel-drive system allows dynamically optimised power transmission without any losses by means of Torque Vectoring – in other words the specifically targeted acceleration of individual wheels. In its first pilot phase, the SLS AMG with electric drive incorporates a liquid-cooled high-voltage lithium-ion battery of modular design with an energy content of 48 kWh and a capacity of 40 Ah. The 400-volt
battery is charged by means of targeted recuperation during braking whilst the car is being driven.The electrically driven SLS AMG delivers an unequivocal statement: the swing-wing model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in around four seconds, putting it on the same high level as the SLS AMG with a 6.3-litre V8 engine.

you could have a kitchen equipped to a level which almost takes it into the space age. The top brands, including Balay, Siemens, Miéle and many others are all available at reputable suppliers. Don’t forget to ask your dealer about the government subsidy scheme which applies when you change an old high-energy consuming appliance for a new low consumption model.Tenerife has many excellent kitchen design and fitting companies, some of which are quite exclusive and chic. Ask for a free estimate and your kitchen will be measured by an expert, and a computer generated plan of the suggested new design will be created.If you are tired of cold tiled floors, then why not consider creating a warmer look and feel with wooden parquet flooring. At some more professional outlets, floors can be individually designed to suit your room, or your complete home.Light grey is actually this season’s must-have decorating colour. For textiles such as cushions, flower motifs are the
current trend, especially if they are in lilac or light mauve tones which contrast beautifully with a neutral background such as beige or light grey walls and lounge suite. Play around with pastels, see how light affects them and you will find that just a little colour will go a long way.Finally, if you have a big garden then you could equip it with the latest in quality teak garden furniture, freely available on the island, and maybe a hot tub for the ultimate in luxury.

Step inside and see the splendour of times gone by complemented by all the comforts of a modern hotel with top class service, but offering a more intimate and relaxing atmosphere. Las Quintas often have a gourmet restaurant located within the original building. To stay in a Quinta is to enjoy the essence of Madeira, sleep surrounded by gardens, chill out and enjoy special moments, gourmet dinners, English-style afternoon tea and a personal service.Madeira is relatively small, belonging to Portugal, and for its size it has much to offer. There are historical monuments, squares and streets in the capital, Funchal, plus picturesque villages, delightful gardens, stunning landscapes, volcanic caves, natural rugged coasts, natural beaches and much more to discover and enjoy.Visit one of many museums or the Madeira Story Centre, an interactive museum which teaches you about the island’s history. There are also several churches to visit, or just wander around the centre of Funchal where many buildings have survived from the sugar producing days of the 15th and 16th centuries.You will find new shopping centres all over the island, but the real cultural treat is to visit one of the island’s traditional markets. Originally created for the sale of flowers, nowadays they sell all kinds of agricultural products and local food specialities which you can eat there or take away, plus other
items.Funchal has a coastal promenade and lido area lined by palm trees and bordered by splendid gardens as well as several swimming pools and restaurants from where you can admire amazing sunsets.Madeira’s coastline is known for its crystal clear water and natural swimming pools, but most beaches are pebbled. Imported golden sand can be found in Calheta and Machico, but the most beautiful beaches are to be found in Porto Santo. You could take a ferry or a short flight to this nearby paradise island, known as the golden island. No lush green vegetation there, but miles of golden sand beaches.Madeira lives up to its name, the island of flowers, with its wide variety of colourful gardens and parks which are carefully maintained, displaying a vast array of flowers, plants and trees. Parks and protected areas occupy two-thirds of the island including a laurisilver forest (try the famous levada walks) and several nature reserves. The best time to take a short break and see Madeira’s impressive scenery is during April, May and June when this enormous floating garden is in its moment of splendour.Canariasviaja.com together with Canarian airline BinterCanarias specialise in short inter-island breaks, and Madeira and Marrakesh are ideal for a weekend break to discover what another nearby country has to offer.

Around the world on a cruise shipby Gerald ruben
We are now going to leave New Zealand and after a day at sea will be putting into Nuku Alofe, which is situated in the centre of the Northern shore of the island of Tongatapu, which with Eua forms one of the three groups of Friendly Islands.
There are about 170 islands although only 36 are inhabited, straddling the Tropic of Capricorn, almost on the International Date Line. Tonga claims to be the first place in the world to see the sun.Their dry land area is about 270 square miles, roughly one-sixth the size of Kent. Tongatapu is the largest, 17 miles long by nine miles wide, about the size of Malta. The population is around 100,000 with almost 99.9 per cent pure Tongans. The word Tonga means South, and the ancient Tongans migrated many centuries ago to their present home, probably from Samoa about 500 miles to the north.The Tongans are a very peace loving and hospitable people who enjoy life to the full. Cannibalism was never a way of life. They have always treated their women with great consideration and descent through high born females was more valued than through male chieftain ancestors. The Tongans are very religious and Sunday is a day for church with

work and noise out of the question. The island is run by Taufaahau Tupou the fifth, the son of Queen Salote who won the hearts of the British people at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. The king has considerable powers and appoints cabinet ministers who hold office until they retire. There is a Prime Minister but there are no political parties. What a wonderful way to live! The dry winter season runs from May to July and December to March is a period of high humidity and heavy rain, and when it rains it rains, but it soon clears up.The major occupations of the female population are Tapa-making and mat weaving with the men involved in agriculture and tourism. Dancing plays a big part in the lives of the people, but men and women will not dance together in Western style. The solo dance is usually performed by a girl who has to be skilled and pretty which in Tonga means soft, supple and shapely. The group dances can involve anything from 20 to 900 performers. Costumes are eye-catching and made from leaves and seeds, flax, flowers and shells, time consuming to make but spectacular to see.The Royal Tombs are just west of the town on the road to Kolovai. The terraced tombs at Mu’a, 12 miles east, are memorials to the ancient Tongan chiefs, Bat Wood 11 miles west is the curious colony of flying foxes, regarded as sacred to the Tongans. These can only be hunted by the Royal family. At
Houma, nine miles south west, are the mighty blow holes, sending water spouts up to 50 feet in the air. One place you must not miss is thecultural centre where you will see everything Tongan as well as one of the most fantastic dance routines that is performed on drifting canoes. Food is top of the list for Tongans, and they have a wonderful selection including roast suckling pig, chicken, crayfish, octopus, pork and vegetables, all steamed in an ‘umu’ an underground oven, as well as a great variety of tropical fruit. The local non alcoholic drink is kava, be careful however, it can produce a state of euphoria if you imbibe too freely. Shopping is mainly for local arts and crafts with coral and pearl jewellery a firm favourite.There are beaches all around the island so swimming, diving and general water sports are everywhere. The official currency is the Paanga but as you will find on most of these islands, the US Dollar, Pound and Euro are accepted in most restaurants and large stores. If you are shopping in local markets or want to take a taxi it would be wise to have some local currency with you.Some useful telephone numbers: Police 922, Hospital 933, British High Commission 24395.One other thing, due to their religious beliefs and so as not to upset the local population revealing dress is unsuitable anywhere. Our next port of call will be Apia, see you there.

A tropical paradise with a natural beauty unique in the world. This is the perfect setting which surrounds the golfer in Tenerife. What really makes Tenerife a privileged destination in the golfing market is its mild and moderate climate all year round, with tempera-tures ranging between 20 and 25 degrees C creating perfect conditions for pla-ying golf whether it be in the winter or the summer, when many other destina-tions in the south of Europe experience extremely high temperatures which spoil the golfer’s enjoyment of a good game played on a good course.
Tenerife provides a stage which is ideal for golf, with more than 200 different species of native plants, waterfalls, lakes and unrepeatable views of the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Teide. The island’s golf courses have been created amongst these wonderful stage sets by prestigious designers such as
Seve Ballesteros, Dave Thomas, Donald Steel, John Jacobs and Pepe Gancedo.The range of hotels for the golfer is impressive, with more than 20 four to five star establishments and other touristic accommodation offering specialist golfing services. Records indicate that annually, an average of 52,000 golfers visit Tenerife, and that each one plays at five golf courses during his or her stay. Most courses in the province cater for all levels of difficulty and offer an enjoyable route with views over the Atlantic.Tenerife also complements all this with an attractive range of activities related to health and fitness such as luxurious and exotic spas with professional health experts who will pamper golfers following a game.
Summer golfing: Circuit Tenerife La GomeraThis, the most important amateur golf circuit in the Canaries to take place in the summer months in the province

of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, has been celebrated three times. The circuit is played to the Stableford method of individual handicaps, with three categories for gentlemen and two for ladies, as well as the senior classification and the much valued scratch prize. This year the circuit consists of seven tests which will be played at six of the province’s golf courses: Abama, Buenavista Golf, Golf Costa Adeje, Golf Las Américas and Tecina Golf, including a grand final which will take place at Golf del Sur in which the best classified golfers of general ranking will play.Eager to make each year better than the last, the IV Circuit Tenerife La Gomera will bring new ideas. For the first time the circuit will be open to foreign players who do not have a
Spanish federation licence by creating a special mixed category with the condition that there must be a minimum number of entries.The summer golfing season in Tenerife ends in October with the Canarian Champions Tournament which is also a first, an idea of the Federación Canaria de Golf. This tournament will bring together the three highest classified players of each category in the Circuit Tenerife La Gomera, and of the circuit of the province of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Three years after unveiling Burner 07, the most successful driver in TaylorMade history, the No. 1 driver company in golf is unveiling the next generation of this phenomenal franchise, named simply Burner SuperFast. Weighing just 284 grams (an astounding 14 grams less than the Burner 07 and Burner 09 drivers), Burner SuperFast is a speed demon, designed to deliver increased clubhead speed and superior distance.
Largest clubface of any TaylorMade driverThe Burner SuperFast driver’s improved performance starts with a new 460cc clubhead shape that’s sleeker and more aerodynamic than past Burner drivers. This new head also boasts high MOI for tremendous forgiveness, and incorporates the largest clubface of any TaylorMade driver. Measuring an expansive 4,500 square millimetres, the new clubface is 14 per cent larger than Burner 09’s clubface. The larger face is important in light of the fact that the longer club-length of Burner drivers, like Burner SuperFast, makes it more challenging for the average player to make square contact consistently and the larger face gives them more area to strike the ball with. The Burner SuperFast face also features a new bulge and roll design that’s optimised to work with the higher MOI head to maximise forgiveness on off-centre hits. Finally, the clubface incorporates TaylorMade’s renowned Inverted Cone Technology, which promotes faster ball speed on off-centre hits. The Burner SuperFast driver also incorporates TaylorMade’s proven Dual-Crown technology, which both lowers and pulls back the centre of gravity to promote a higher launch angle and increased spin. Introduced in the TaylorMade Tour Burner driver two years ago, and also used in the Burner 09, Dual Crown technology is tremendously valuable.
Longer, Lighter Shaft Promotes Higher LaunchAlso critical to the Burner SuperFast driver’s performance is its Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 shaft, which is both ultra-light and tip-soft, helping the golfer generate more ball speed, a higher launch angle and more spin to promote more distance. And at 46.5 inches in length, Burner SuperFast automatically promotes a wide and fast swing arc.
Burner SuperFast: Our Lightest Driver EverAnother vital upgrade to the Burner SuperFast is the new Winn Lite grip that weighs just 30 grams, which is a full 14 grams lighter than the Burner 09’s grip, yet it sacrifices nothing in terms of feel and traction. It’s a critical component to the overall quest to make this club, at 284 grams, the lightest driver ever produced. Put every element of their newest version of SuperFast technology together and you’ve got a driver that screams through the hitting zone to promote more pop at impact for more clubhead speed and distance than any Burner driver ever has and that’s saying something. The best news is that all players can take advantage of Burner SuperFast’s speed and distance benefits, as the driver will also be available in a ladies’ version in its own colour palette. The Burner SuperFast driver is available in three lofts (9.5, 10.5, HT) and five shaft flexes (L, M, R, S, X). Available now at the Tenerife Golf Shop for €279. Say you read this article in The Magazine and get yours for €179, a saving of €100.
