Tenerife's weather stays warm and sunny through most of the year, with June to September bringing the hottest and busiest conditions. Canarian cooking leans on fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas served with mojo sauce, and gofio features in many of these dishes. Aeroplanes link the Canaries with mainland Spain, and boats plus brief flights tie the individual islands together. Spanish is the everyday language, so a few words go a long way with shopkeepers.
