This is also Día de Canarias (Day of the Canary Islands), which celebrates the islands being given their autonomous status and the first sitting of the Canarian Parliament on this day in 1983. When I was younger I spent a lot of time here and the locals celebrate this day as a bank holiday with dancing, arts and crafts and other wonderful things that show the true beauty of Canarian Culture. I'm lucky enough to be here this year so will be celebrating with the locals and some Ron Miel. ¡Salud!

Fantastic. First Mint Julep today. I’ve already enjoyed an Old Fashioned (especially on the sweeter side) and these are magnificent. I’ve even been watching re-runs of Secretariat winning the Kentucky Derby in 73 with one in hand... thanks for the intro to a great, simple drink
