Adeje Garlic Chicken

We went by taxi tonight, together with Mick and Frances, up to a small village called Adeje. It's about 15 km from Los Cristianos.
There is a nice restaurant called La Rambla where you can have a delicious dinner with a lot of different dishes at the same meal. That's what brings us there.

It was tonight the third time we were there with Mick and Frances! And we have been there with some other friends as well. I would like to recommend everybody who likes hot garlic tasting food to go there. It's really lovely!
And don't forget to walk around the corner at the street and look at the majesty mountains and the deep valley below and the old town city hall.
This is in the old town of Adeje and it gives a little bit of a picturesque feeling to be there and you will like it. It's old houses with typical Canarian balconies at narrow streets.
The restaurant is closed Mondays and during June.

First we had a crispy salad and bread with homemade Mojo sauces which is a specialty here on the Canary Islands. There are two different sauces and one is red and the other one is green.

Then we had a plate of some different barbecued sausages. Blue flames were burning on the plate when they carried it in. One of the sausages is black and has got a sweet taste and that is my favorite.

After that we had Adeje Garlic Chicken. A course that is famous here on the island.
It's really special and I don't know how they make it. People has for many years been going up to Adeje because of the chicken and there is even a restaurant, in the old town, that don't have any other meals than the garlic chicken on the menu.
We also had Ribs with a spicy sauce and we had the small special herb tasting potatoes that only this restaurant serve and which are very nice.
Guess if we were full! And on top of this Mick and I had sweet deserts!
I think we will have a good night sleep after all this. But what about the weight?!
The prices are humane so don't hesitate to order a little bit of everything when you go there.

We decided to go to La Gomera (the neighbor island) by boat Monday when we have our day off and I have checked the timetables already on the internet. We will rent a car and drive around the island which is very green and beautiful. (Maybe with the exception of the small areas where it was wild fires a couple of weeks ago).
Clas and I have been there before but Mick and Frances haven't seen the island yet.
I think they're gonna like it! Nice weather and it will be really lovely!
