OK, it has been open again since just before Christmas but I would just like to remind people on here for those that are not aware of this restaurant.
This is our 'goto' place when we want a nice meal, which is nearly every week at the moment.
Not the biggest menu choice, but usually go for the fillet steak anyway as it is fabulous.
They do excellent pasta as well.

Question about customs tax |

I am still trying to understand the Canary ways, and I must admit—it is harder than I expected.
One thing: I am buying from Amazon Prime - EU vendors etc.
I am often asked for the paperwork, and my parcels stay for a month in Gran Canary.
Sometimes, they ask for custom tax (again, for EU products coming from the EU), and I usually pay a bit more than 25% of their value.
Is this legal? I understand there is a small VAT here (7%); it makes no sense why I need to pay so much tax.
Why is this happening, are the residents here happy with this?
Where is this Money going? (25% tax for most products consumed on the island is a huge, huge amount)

Electricity price increase |

I have received the following email from my Electricity provider, what appears odd about it to me is despite it being a substantial increase, I have heard nothing about it previously, and I would have thought it would have been mentioned on social media before now, has anyone else received a similar communication?
"We would like to inform you about some important changes implemented by the government that will increase your electricity bill in 2025.
Please see below the government measures:
VAT increase: VAT on electricity to rise from 10% to 21% (More information here)
System charges: The government has proposed to increase bill charges by 33%. (More information here)
Energy Tolls: For some periods they have decreased but for others they have increased (more information here).
It is important to underline that Evergreen Eléctrica has no influence on these costs, which correspond only to the new charges imposed by the government"

Ferries and rental cars - a few questions |

Hi all,
We are hoping to fly to Tenerife in March but visit La Gomera and El Hierro. The easiest way to get around (and the cheapest as residents) is to hire a rental car for the 5-6 days.
3 questions:
1. Do CICAR/others allow you to take the car to different islands (I suspect yes?)
2. Are all ferry companies happy to take hire cars? (I suspect yes, again)
3. How can you book a ferry in advance if you don't have the registration/exact make of hire car in advance?
Thanks folks.
Bill
