Everywhere you look in Tenerife you will see banana plantations – or you won’t see them - but they are there, hidden behind that tatty looking grey net that festoons the island.
Now, for the very first time, Tenerife is hosting a banana festival complete with all sorts of wacky competitions and events – banana sculpting for example.
There will be prizes for the best banana inspired dish and plenty of banana booze as well as non-alcoholic banana drinks for the kids. It sounds like a lot of fun and I am promised more bananas than I can carry if I go along with the weans so I guess I’ll see you there. I’ll be the one checking out the banana rum…

A great idea! This sounds like fun. Who is organising it?
