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.

is at just the right volume for you to enjoy, and yet still be able to maintain a conversation with each other, adding yet another dimension to this fabulous eatery.
Santa Claus in Callao

Al Paradise, the group of boutiques exclusive to Tenerife, have opened a new store in Puerto de la Cruz. Situated exactly where it used to be, in the popular shopping centre C.C. Martiánez, Al Paradise specialises in timeless fashion for today’s stylish lady in a wide range of sizes: S, M, L and XL, or 10 to 24. Why not treat yourself, pop in to C.C. Martiánez and see their stunning Autumn/Wiunter collection. Al Paradise also has stores in Parque Santiago III and IV in Playa de las Américas, C.C. La Niña in Torviscas, C.C. Fañabé Plaza and Calle La Hoya in Puerto de la Cruz.
Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga was delighted to confirm to The Magazine that this year residents in Callao Salvaje have a reason to believe in Santa Claus.
He, along with tourism councillor Miguel Ángel Santos were genuinely delighted to be able, at last, to lay the foundations for the new beach at the resort village, and the presence of the Spanish government’s senior representative in the Canaries, Carolina Darias, underlined the importance they place on boosting the local economy along this stretch of Adeje coast line. Residents, tourists, restaurant and business owners were all present on the day to witness the inauguration of something that had been promised for so long but many had begun to believe would never happen. Iceland
Simply the best At Iceland, there’s one thing that unites all the shoppers, something they are all agreed upon. The thing that makes Iceland really special is the staff. So, on behalf of all the happy customers, we would like to say thanks to the staff at Iceland and wish them all a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.

New Year message from the President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The coming of the New Year marks the start of a journey filled with hope, which we will all take in search of a better future, leaving behind memories, both good and bad, of what is now in the past. We set off on this road together, with high hopes and with the intention of improving in the New Year and contributing towards making our society progress firmly towards the future with the courage that we all need. We shall achieve our common goal if we join together and unite our efforts and for this we should participate both individually and collectively. At this difficult time, it is very important to keep our spirits up. For this reason, I want to give you a sincere message full of hope and also assure you we will carry on working every day to make the future for Tenerife and the Canary Islands better. Happy New Year.
Reyes (The Three Kings) January 5th
January 5th is a big day in the festive calendar for children, as it is the day when traditionally, gifts are given. It is also a day with an extremely busy schedule for the Three Kings. On the evening of January 5th, the Three Kings in all their finery, and their camels arrive, to the delight of the eager children, in some cases by helicopter and some by ferry or other means (they are so determined to reach everyone). The procession fascinates the young audience, and afterwards while the children are still being entertained, Balthazar, Gaspar and Melchior
the magazine
secretly visit each of their homes to deliver their presents (provided, of course, they have behaved themselves during 2010). In Santa Cruz, on January 5th at 5pm, the Three Kings arrive at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium. A procession begins at 7pm with the Kings riding their camels through the city, finishing in the Plaza de La Candelaria. In Adeje, the Kings will arrive at 5pm by helicopter at the town’s football ground and the procession will finish in Calle Grande. In Los Cristianos, the Kings arrive by ferry at 7.15pm and the procession
begins at the port, going through Avenida de Suecia and finishing at the Cultural Centre. This event is also celebrated in San Crístobal de La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz. Check in your area for more information.

27th Canary Islands Music Festival The Canary Islands Music Festival was founded in 1985 and celebrates its 27th edition this year. It was originally designed to enrich the cultural programme of a region with a long tradition in classical music. Every year this festival brings the best orchestras, musicians and soloists to the islands, and unites hundreds of classical music fans. A numerous cast of top artists have taken part, including Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Daniel Baremboim, Sir Colin Davis, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Sir Simon Rattle, and soloists like Mstislav Rostropovich, Krystian Zimmermann, Ivo Pogorelich, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Isaac Stern amongst others. Events in Tenerife will be taking place at the Auditorium and Teatro Guimerá in Santa Cruz, and the Teatro Leal, La Laguna. More information at www.festivaldecanarias.com

Fiestas de San Sebastián, La Enramada, Adeje 12 noon, January 20
The start of the new year brings this annual celebration to Costa Adeje, in which the local countryfolk and farmers show their devotion to their patron saint. They do this in a very special manner by bringing their farm animals down to the coast of Adeje for a ritual dip in the sea at La Enramada. The animals, a mixed bunch but mostly horses, are ridden into the water, an act which is credited with numerous miracles and cures. Thousands of pilgrims of all ages and from all parts of the island
attend this celebration with the hope of achieving a rapid recovery to good health or to request or fulfil a promise. There are usually numerous offerings left at the
nearby chapel of San Sebastián where several religious services will be held and the day finishes with live music played by local bands and a fireworks display.
Fiestas de San Antonio Abad and Romería, Arona and Buenavista del Norte January 17
These colourful fiestas which include the first romería of the year are celebrated in the
the magazine
traditional old town of Arona and Buenavista del Norte on the Sunday following the festival on
the 17th and the last Sunday of the month respectively. These fiestas are also celebrated in Güímar, La Orotava, Los Silos and La Laguna. This is one of the most important fiestas of the year for Arona, and one which the town’s residents enjoy to the full. The Romería is the second oldest in the municipality and stands out because during the procession, many animals are blessed by San Antonio Abad, the town’s patron.

Clarifying doubts about the replacement of lost teeth My upper molars are in very bad condition. What can I do about this? The main function of molars is to chew or grind food and the absence of one or two molars can have a negative effect on your complete mouth, including the muscles and articulations of the jaw. This absence can also cause chronic headaches and, aesthetically, changes to the facial frame and even the appearance of wrinkles. The loss of molars, however, can be dealt with by your dental clinic where an analysis should be made following each extraction to obtain information which will help to avoid further problems.

What are the advantages of implants in this case? In the first place they conserve the healthy nature of neighbouring teeth, and secondly, the bone will remain in its proper place. Your
If I need to have any molars extracted and have to make a decision, what would you advise? There are two possibilities. The first is that a bridge can be created by using neighbouring teeth, and the second option is a dental implant. With a bridge, it will be necessary to reduce 12

the implant. This is called bone integration and involves implanting bone without any bacteria. An infection is the result of an invasion of toxic bacteria. To fit an implant in the case of an infection, first the tooth has to be extracted and the area cured.
How long will it take to cure the infection? The worse the infection, the longer it will take to cure, and so the longer you will have to 13

How long will I have to wait for my permanent replacement tooth?
wait before an implant can be fitted. Usually the health of the soft tissue remaining after the extraction will provide us with important information as to how long this will take.
After the infection has been cured, will there be sufficient bone left for an implant to be fitted? Generally, an infection destroys bone. Depending on the level of bone loss, there are various possibilities for us to regenerate the area which has deteriorated.
What are the possibilities of creating new bone? In the case of a limited bone loss, the creation of new bone will be done when the implant is fitted. A medium level bone loss requires high precision techniques and special materials. For a serious bone loss, we will undertake the following in different parts of the mouth: regeneration of the 14
Of course you want it fitted as soon as possible! The answer lies in the bone integration, and the speed of this process whereby the implant will become totally fixed and solid, depends on the bone, the implant and your specialist. The stronger the bone, the faster this will be. Generally we are talking about a period between immediately and up to six months. If the bone is in good condition, you may be able to have your final tooth fitted at the same time as the implant. Nowadays, with scientific improvements and the latest generation models, implants are an extremely efficient method which should definitely be considered for tooth replacement. Of course, you need to consult a specialist.
How long will my implants last? With the exception of tooth decay, implants suffer from more or less the same periodontal diseases as natural teeth, for example inflamed gums, bone loss, etc. A regular six-monthly check-up is recommended. The diseases are classified and the treatments specific.

Caroli Health Club A healthy lifestyle starting with breakfast‌ Make the most of your day by giving it a good start. A healthy breakfast is the beginning of a great day, with you feeling awake, energetic and vital. A healthy breakfast should contain some carbohydrates for energy (preferably of low glycemic index), some good proteins (not only necessary as building blocks in the body, but they also keep us feeling full for longer), and fibre (helps prevent certain diseases, and is beneficial to the digestive system, helping to maintain/achieve a healthy body weight). Healthy sources of carbohydrates include oats and fibrous breakfast cereals, wholegrain bread,
and fruits. These food products are also high in fibres. Vegetables can, with great advantage, also be added to a healthy breakfast as they, at any meal, are of added benefit. They contain plenty of fibre, vitamins and minerals, and most of them are very low in calories. Healthy sources of protein at your breakfast table can include a boiled egg, lean meats (turkey, ham, etc.), beans, and lean dairy products (milk, yoghurt, cheese). Nuts and seeds provide plenty of protein, and also minerals and healthy fats. It is never recommendable to skip breakfast. It is the meal that will help get your metabolism started in the morning and it provides you with the essential energy needed for the day’s challenges. Skipping breakfast has also been proven to make us more prone to unhealthy choices at lunch. If you find you are not hungry in the morning it is usually an indicator that you have eaten too much during the previous evening. You should try to reduce your nightly dietary intake in favour of having a good and healthy breakfast. For the rest of the day try to eat foods with a low glycemic index (GI). These are foods which do not create steep curves in your blood sugar levels, and thus help to maintain the feeling of

being full for longer, and limit the cravings for sweet foods. You can readily choose to consume carbohydrate rich food early on in the day (breakfast and lunch). Preferably choose those carbohydrate rich foods which have a lower glycemic index. After 5pm and with your evening meal, try to limit the amount of carbohydrates in your food to allow for most of the glucose reserves in the body (blood, liver, and muscles) to be used up and/or lowered, and so force the body to switch

to using your fat reserves while you are sleeping. However, avoid any long-term diets completely excluding carbohydrates, as they are still of highest importance because they contain a lot of vitamins and minerals that the body needs, and are also the best nutrients for the body for when performing exercise (especially high-intensity). Carbohydrate rich foods include: bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, couscous, cereal, oats, etc. Choose those with a lower glycemic index. Try to eat 25 to 30 per cent of your calories 19

for breakfast, and 35 to 40 per cent for your lunch. You can have the remainder for your evening meal and as two light snacks during the day (fruit, yoghurt, etc). Remember to only have a light snack in the evening with a low glycemic index, preferably not containing a lot of carbohydrates. Remember to have five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. They not only contain a lot of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy but also contain a lot of dietary fibre which will help to bulk up in your stomach making you unconsciously eat less of the higher energy foods. Vegetables are especially good for this purpose as most of them are very low on calories (exceptions include avocado, sweet corn, and peas which although are still healthy, should be consumed in smaller quantities. To lead a healthy lifestyle you also have to remember that physical exercise is vital at all ages. The type and length of time practiced can vary according to our age and our capability but is, nevertheless, of great importance to our well being. A minimum of one hour of moderate activity three times a week will help maintain our heart and circulatory system in shape, help
keep cholesterol levels down, keep bone density up, keep muscles strong, and help us gain and maintain flexibility. Exercise has also been demonstrated to have a range of other health benefits such as helping to control existing, or lower the risk for, type 2 diabetes, lowering the risk of certain cancers, and helping to prevent other problems such as sciatica, arthritis, and depression, among others. For weight control and weight loss, exercise is also a key factor. Not only does exercising help you burn a lot of calories, but working out also helps us to increase our muscle mass. This in turn will result in a higher basal metabolic rate (how many calories the body burns at rest). Thus keeping our bodies physically trained with a good muscle mass percentage even helps us keep weight off while we sleep!!! Caroli Health Club Hotel Sheraton La Caleta 10am – 8pm

Getting back in shape by Fabian Fitzner
Fact: A kilo of body fat has 7,000 kcal. Therefore if you want to lose one kilo of body fat per week, you need to burn 1,000 kcal more on a daily basis. That’s a LOT of work to do, but it IS possible! So it is time to…
Get fit for summer! No, that is not a mistake. You are reading January’s issue and like every year in January, a lot of people would like to lose some weight to get in shape and keep their New Year’s resolutions. My advice is that if you want to get in shape for summer you need to start right now. You did not gain your extra weight in the three weeks over Christmas, so equally you are not going to get rid of it in a short time either. An average body transformation lasts 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual.

If you want to follow me over the coming months, I have created a training plan for reaching the goal of losing weight and shaping up. Before you start any workout, I recommend that you to talk to your physician. Even though our sports model Lilliane makes it look easy, the guys should have a go just as much as the girls, to find out how their balance and posture stands up to the test. This is not a typical ’housewives’ workout’ normally found in magazines at this time of year, this is the real deal. If you ever wondered why so many gym visitors give up, it is generally because they never achieve the body that they want, and this is because they are exercising and not training. This is a training plan and not an exercise programme. ‘Exercise’ is defined as physical activity with no morphologic effect. In layman’s terms your body

will not physically change to adapt to an exercise or situation. Examples include Pilates, aerobics, easy cardio training or an easy machine workout. Note: Exercise can help you lose weight as part of an overall workout programme. ‘Training’ is a physical activity with a morphological change. In other words, your body does transform as it has to adapt to a new stimuli. Examples include body building, intense cardio and intense machine workouts, in fact any workout where you are able to force your body to a limit and beyond to result in a change or morph. The following workout plan is divided into two different levels of difficulty. If you are a beginner, try exercises marked with an A. Intermediates and experienced people can try B. Imagine a scale of intensity which goes from 1 to 10. 1 is very easy and 10 is very hard. Try to achieve a 7 if you are a beginner. If you have some experience, go for an 8 or 9. That helps you find the right weights for your workouts.

Bfit’s circuit of sin If weight loss is your goal or the exercises are not hard enough, try the following: do the whole as a circuit without breaks. That means you do one set of 1b, then switch to 2b and so on. In between the exercises you have no break. When you have finished the 7th exercise, take a two minute break then repeat the circuit twice. This is called the ‘Bfit’s circuit of sin’. Have fun! Now nutrition plays just as big a part in achieving your goals as exercise, and if you can’t wait until the next issue for advice, please refer to my articles in www.islandconnections.eu for weight loss and muscle growth or contact me directly. Until next time enjoy exercising and push yourself a little further to achieve your goals. For more information call 922 789 000 or 676 243 102 or go to www.bfit.es

Infiniti M Line Infiniti, Europe’s newest luxury vehicle brand, created by Nissan, presents M Line – a powerful, finely crafted, passionately designed alternative to traditional luxury performance cars.
Petrol or diesel powered, with a hybrid to follow, this latest example of inspired performance takes the brand’s unswerving commitment to soulstirring looks and driving ability up a level, while offering technology unavailable in rivals. The third-generation M Line has been designed and engineered with European levels of ride and handling and high performance engines. These include a 3.0-litre diesel V6 for the M30d, boasting exceptional refinement with 550Nm of torque to rival the class best. The M Line will also be available, in 2011, with an innovative hybrid drivetrain. The four-door body, 4,945mm long, brings a sense of intrigue to Infiniti design, with its characteristically seductive lines and a sophisticated new take on familiar design cues, many of which are inspired by traditional Japanese arts and crafts. The M Line design combines vibrancy with presence. It is also extremely aerodynamically efficient, with low drag (Cd: 0.27) and zero lift at high speeds, partially due to the distinctive ‘ducktail’ design of the boot lid. It is among the most spacious five-seaters in its class, and possibly the most alluring on the inside 30
Driver focus is stronger than ever in the M Line
thanks to an even higher standard of interior design and finish. This is Infiniti’s best-ever cabin. Exploring the inside of the new M Line is a very tactile experience – as one touch of every panel and surface, and inside every nook and cranny, will confirm. The choice of leather includes a sensual semi-aniline. It is capped by new White Ash wood trim with silver-powder finish. The resultant real wood grains are more akin to january 2011

those of luxury furniture or a quality musical instrument than a car. Driver focus in the new Infiniti M is stronger than ever, with ergonomic excellence the hallmark of an imposing new dashboard. The new M Line even introduces a new generation of switchgear, perfectly matched in weight and feel, and a new version of Infiniti’s signature analogue clock. This car has been developed by drivers for drivers. In particular, the M’s intuitive steering feel is largely based on feedback from test drivers. Always responsive and unfailingly comfortable – thanks in part to the unusual use of doublepiston shock absorbers – the new Infiniti M also delivers greatly enhanced stability. The M37 S is the most driver-focused of all variants and comes equipped with Infiniti’s proven handling technology with the acclaimed four-wheel active steering (4WAS) system at its

heart. All M Line models are based on the FM (Front-Midship) platform which positions the engine low down and far back in the chassis – and thus all Infiniti M versions have a natural balance when it comes to negotiating twisting roads. All Infiniti M models for Europe are powered by V6 engines, with 320 PS (235 KW) from the 3.7litre petrol unit, and 238 PS (175 KW) from the new piezo-injection 3.0-litre diesel engine. The M30d has been designed specially for European markets. It is Infiniti’s first diesel and comes with a clear emphasis on sporting performance and luxury car refinement, and its power - torque of 550 Nm (406 lb ft) - is class leading. The M37 is powered by Infiniti’s charismatic 3.7 V6 with efficiency guaranteed by its VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) cylinder heads. To go with its potent 320 PS is a pulling power of 360 Nm (266 lb ft). Both petrol and diesel M Line 31

Europe‘s newest luxury vehicle

cars come as standard with Infiniti’s 7-speed Adaptive Shift Control automatic transmission, with manual shift paddles on the S version behind the steering wheel for when the sporting urge strikes. Being an Infiniti, light weight is central. The M’s doors, bonnet and boot lid are all made of aluminium, as is the all-alloy petrol V6. Infiniti’s Dynamic Safety Shield technology, which aims to provide a 360-degree protection ‘bubble’ around the car, takes a step forward with Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI). BSI doesn’t just warn of cars in adjacent lanes but actively prevents the car being steered into their path. The DSS package also includes Intelligent Cruise Control with Low Speed Following, Blind Spot Warning in addition to Intervention, Distance Control Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention systems, and if all that isn’t enough, it offers Intelligent Brake Assist, too. Active Noise Control (ANC) ensures the Infiniti M’s cabin, already extensively soundproofed, remains free of unwanted low frequency engine noises. The interior environment is also notably cool and calming in versions fitted with what Infiniti believes to be one of the most sophisticated climate control systems ever developed. It is called Forest Air™, after the invigorating, pollution-free atmosphere it seeks to replicate. All-new is an aroma diffuser which subtly scents incoming ventilation air with forest-fresh fragrances, chosen for their specific drive-enhancing qualities. The scents alternate and are used intermittently.
Other Infiniti innovations for the M Line include ESP with Dynamic Cornering Enhancement and Infiniti Drive, a system of four driver-selectable modes which tailor the car to give its best in Eco, Sport, Snow and Standard conditions. Eco mode activates the Eco Pedal which exerts a gentle resistance when the pedal is being pushed needlessly hard, wasting fuel. No other car in production has this effective, nonintrusive device to assist the driver in achieving the lowest possible fuel consumption. If the driver prefers not to use it, the Eco Pedal can be switched off. All models in the M Line range will come with features, often unavailable in rival models at any price, which have already proven highly valued by European Infiniti owners. Every M Line owner in Europe will benefit from Connectiviti multimedia, self-repairing Scratchshield paintwork and Infiniti’s Total Ownership Experience. Would you like to know more?

Le Bistrot d’Alain This charming and intimate restaurant takes its name from its owner and chef, Alain Mills who came to Tenerife 23 years ago. Le Bistrot d’Alain has been open for the last 21 years and established itself early on as a firm favourite of those seeking a really special meal. Prior to coming to the island, Alain studied at a catering school and then went on to own his own restaurant in Paris, at Thonos les Bains for eight years. He always works alone in his relatively compact but well equipped kitchen. It is hard to believe that this one man can produce such exquisite and beautifully presented food to satisfy a restaurant with all tables occupied, without any of the diners suffering a long wait between each mouthwatering course. The timing always
seems to be just right. He is without doubt a maestro who goes about his work in a steady manner, never appearing to be stressed by the two waiting staff who eagerly wait to serve their customers. The main menu includes, as you would expect in a French restaurant, such specialities as Frogs’ Legs á la Provencale, as well as Salmon and Sea Bream Carpaccio, Fish Soup and Rouille Sauce, Warm Salmon Salad with Herbs, patés and much more, and that’s just for starters. For main course there are several fish dishes including Fillets of Bream with Endive Fondue, Fillets of Sole Bistrot, Prawn and Salmon Stew with Small Vegetables and Escalopes of Salmon in Beurre Nantais. For meat lovers, choose from Veal Sweetbreads and Morels, Escalope of Veal with Tarragon, Quails with Grapes and much more. But there is much more to be discovered at Le Bistrot d’Alain. There is a specials board which is not only revised regularly but also contains as many dishes as the main menu, all made from fresh market produce, so there is always something new to try. The helpful staff will be only too pleased to explain them to you in detail if you are in doubt. At Le Bistrot d’Alain, diners are always served an aperitif, we were treated to a delightful pink champagne. Our meal was chosen entirely

from the specials board, and we began with Revuelta de Salmon with Sopito de Verduras and followed this with Aguacate con Gambas which was prepared in a similar way to guacamole and topped with cress. We continued with a delicious hot melt-in-the-mouth Foie Gras served with an apple and honey sauce. Our next course, which had the most wonderful aroma, was King Prawns in American Sauce. For main course we had Solomillo de Buey with Mushrooms, served with fresh broccoli,
cauliflower and gratinated potatoes which were seasoned with nutmeg. The desserts menu is also in the form of a board, and we chose what must be a chocoholic’s delight – Fondant de Chocolate (a chocolate sponge which contains a thick chocolate sauce) with fresh strawberries and Crema Inglésa which is like a real homemade custard. Of course, there is a wide selection of wines to accompany your meal. There are insufficient words to describe the food at this delightful French eaterie where the service is excellent. Mouthwatering, melt in the mouth, flavoursome, delicate, a sensual culinary experience – these are the expressions which come to mind. Suffice to say that every course is to be savoured, to the very last crumb, in terms of appearance, aroma and taste. This is the restaurant to choose if you are seeking a gourmet experience. Le Bistrot d’Alain has been recommended in the Michelin Guide for 10 years, and it is easy to see why. Visit once, and you will definitely put this at the top of your list of favourite restaurants. Located in Calle Menéndez, Los Cristianos with parking facilities nearby, Le Bistrot d’Alain is open Tuesday to Sunday from 7pm. Due to its popularity, we recommend that you reserve your table by calling 922 752 336.

Walk for Life A pink tide of around 1,500 people walked and swam around four kilometres in the south of the island to help raise funds and spread a message of hope for breast cancer victims and their families. The walk brought in over â‚Ź13,600 on the day, a record for the event so far, and more funds were expected to arrive over the following few weeks. Katy Kennedy and Carlos did a superb job of keeping the ball rolling and presenting the acts as joint compĂŠres and a huge group of volunteers gave their time to ensure the occasion was a success. Congratulations and many thanks to all those who donated, helped and walked or swam.

Bioclimatic homes in Granadilla The project ‘25 Bioclimatic Homes for the Island of Tenerife’, the only one of its type in the world, began with an international contest organised by the Cabildo of Tenerife and ITER (the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables), endorsed by the International Architects Union. Its objective was to create a ‘laboratory’ of familysize detached homes developed under the criteria of bioclimatic architecture and adapted to environmental conditions. Some 400 projects were submitted by architects from 38 countries, and the winning house called La Geria, a project by César Ruiz-Larrea, was inspired by a type of agricultural construction used in Lanzarote to protect crops. 38
This bioclimatic development, the first with zero carbon dioxide emissions, is located on land owned by ITER in Granadilla in the south of Tenerife, near the coast and alongside a dry barranco. The houses are constructed with the planet in mind, taking advantage of the local climate and using natural, recycled and recyclable materials, blending in with the landscape. Reducing the use of energy and water, and using renewable energy and treatment plants to supply the home’s needs, is extremely important for an island such as Tenerife where many areas are isolated. Self-sufficient from the energy point of view, using photovoltaic panels to generate power and heat water, the homes are constantly monitored. They are studied in terms of the january 2011

bioclimatic techniques used, and to determine which are the most efficient. The project also aims to raise awareness of these techniques and the integration of renewable energy through architecture, amongst specialists and the general public. The results obtained in this ‘laboratory’ of homes allow design models to be created for hot climates, in turn facilitating the replication of the techniques used. This means that future sustainable construction projects could use a proven tool which is easy to use and suitable for export to areas with a similar climate to Tenerife. The construction area was chosen for its climatic conditions: almost constant north-east winds, isolation, scarcity of rainfall and hence its aridity. It is also close to the sea, hence the possibility of sea water desalination using renewable energy. To the visitor, at first sight the development resembles any low level residential development, set in beautiful natural surroundings with mountain and sea views. On closer inspection, the visitor would notice
40
the ingenious external designs. We visited the house called La Geria, the winning project. Much wood and natural stone has been used in its construction, it is spacious, with a comfortable temperature, light, bright and airy with modern furniture and equipment. It contains everything you would need to stay there and can sleep six people. But most of all, it exudes an immediate feeling of utter tranquillity. Reducing heat and making the most of solar energy is the main objective of these houses, and this is achieved by their varying configurations. Some have large south facing areas, some have walls and ceilings which are used for storage, some use areas not even connected to the house for the storage of heat, and others use all three methods. Inside the houses, the electrical equipment all complies with the European Union’s most energy efficient classification. Considerable savings are made on lighting in all the houses, each of which are positioned to take maximum advantage of natural light, and by the use of low consumption

bulbs and lights which switch off automatically when not necessary. Water saving taps and cisterns are used throughout, together with other innovative water saving devices. Each house has photovoltaic systems for the generation of energy, and all these installations are connected to a common network, thus avoiding the limitations of total independence. The houses also contain sensors and probes which measure the same common parameters (interior temperature, humidity, air flow, carbon dioxide and particles suspended in the air), the results of which are processed and compared, as well as other specific parameters relating to the individual characteristics and the position of each one. These sensors complement the data supplied by meteorological stations, as well as meters which record energy consumption and production, and discriminate between the various sources. All this information is processed and sent to a central computer which compiles the global situation of all of the houses. The true aim is to evaluate the functioning of each house, and to do this, it must be lived in. With the objective of making this experience accessible to scientists, technicians or any other interested group, the houses are available to rent. This practice allows data to be collected which refers to real use, as well as the collection of comments and observations of the guests. As a complementary activity, open days are often organised, with guided tours through the development. The surrounding area is particularly attractive to those who enjoy hiking. The Visitors Centre, constructed by the winner of the contest, CĂŠsar RuĂz Larrea, contains information about the project, the laboratory results obtained, and other areas belonging to ITER. This is a major contribution by Tenerife towards research and development into the implementation of renewable energy into domestic homes, and creating awareness of these techniques.

Living the difference
Francisco Javier Zamorano Sáenz, president, CIO Group The Sáenz family business has been running for more than 100 years, and began with tobacco. It was agreed in 2006 to sell the tobacco companies , CITA Tabacos de Canarias SL and its associates, Tabacos Canary Islands SA (Tacisa) and Tabacos La Nubia SL, to the multinational group Gallaher. This sale was provoked by the complicated international feelings about tobacco and the consequent fiscal pressures, jointly promising an uncertain future for the Group and its employees. The Zamorano Group invested the proceeds in the expansion of the holding company, both in and outside of Tenerife, and Compañia de Las Islas Occidentales was created, concentrating on the service sector: tourism, security, cleaning, laundry, restaurant services on the island, as well as interests in the property sector. The company also has the water company Fuente Alta which now includes Norwegian brand Isklar. The Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque project began during an economic crisis and was inaugurated in 1993. It was seen by many as the beginning of a higher level of tourism in Tenerife. Francisco Javier told us that, “at that time there was a gap in the market for a different, luxury product. We thought of more affluent clients, 42

not traditional hotel business”. He told us that the brilliant architect and family friend, Spanish born Andrés Piñeiro, spent two years working on this unrepeatable project. The hotel consists of several buildings whose designs are all based on international architecture of various ages. Many celebrities stay there. Francisco Javier says they include, “TV personalities, top European league footballers, tennis greats such as Nadal and Federer, entrepreneurs, industrialists and politicians, but we don’t divulge who is staying there. Some of them barely leave the hotel january 2011

during their stay. They come here to relax”. He described the most recent additions to the Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque group which include luxury villas, each with their own pool and services. Francisco Javier commented, “in times of crisis, the luxury market continues to grow”. Also, open for just over two years is the Spa. The hotel is partnered in this venture by international spa industry leader ESPA whose chief executive officer and founder Susan Harmsworth was recently awarded an MBE. This exclusive installation occupies 5,000 square metres, much of which is open-air offering various treatments including talasoterapía, as well as a gymnasium, pilates room and much more. The spa is now open to the public and has a direct access. There, the staff aim to make each experience a personal journey from the moment you step in until the time, feeling transformed, you step back into the outside world. The latest addition is the Asia-Kan restaurant whose menu fuses Japanese, Chinese and Thai
cuisine. Open for two years now, the Moët Gastro Tapas bar was created as a new concept for fresh air, food, designer tapas and drinks accompanied by chillout music in beautiful gardens with a lake. Las Aguas, the superb á la carte restaurant within Las Villas resort, is open to the public too. The group plans to construct a new luxury hotel and golf course designed jointly by the legendary Gary Player and Sir Norman Foster in the Guia de Isora district. Francisco Javier told us, “It is a big project over which we need to think long and hard to get every detail 100 per cent right. It will be near the Abama resort and will be a hotel and residential development designed to a premium level to blend in with the surroundings, and the beach will be as stunning as Abama’s”. Of the crisis, he commented on the flexibility of workers from the north of the island and their ability to travel to work in the south. “Maybe the ring road and the train will help this”. He feels that Costa Adeje and the island as a whole 43

have improved a lot recently, with a great seafront promenade and less PRs on the streets. “It’s getting better, but we need to improve our surroundings and existing businesses”, he commented. Francisco Javier works on business ethics which have been passed down through the family, and has been especially inspired by his mentor, his father. He says, “we don’t live at the expense of the business. We invest, work hard and grow. We don’t put all our eggs in one basket”. In order to be successful in most endeavours, he believes that we need to work in a different way, look for a speciality, a niche in the market, and at the same time respect the environment and culture. Enthusiasm and good treatment of clients is essential, ensuring their satisfaction. Live the Difference is not only the group slogan, but their philosophy too.
