ATTASAT
José Farrujia
ATTASAT
Me llamo Attasat. Nací y me crié en Chinamada, en este extremo de la isla de Tenerife. Ahora vivo en Aguere, la que luego fue capital de la isla bajo el nombre de San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
Aguere, en la lengua de mis ancestros, significa precisamente "lago" o "laguna"... de ahí la suplantación.
Hoy he recorrido, de nuevo, el camino que desde niño hacía con mis abuelos y con mis padres para ayudarles a bajar, desde la cumbre, papas y leche de cabra a La Punta del Hidalgo para cambiarlas por pescado y plátanos.
También bajábamos a la costa con las cabras, al charco de las ovejas, para el baño de cada año por estas fechas.
Hoy ellos ya no están, ya no tenemos cabras, ya solo cultivamos papas, pero para el consumo familiar.
Llegó la "aldea global", como le dicen, y poco después murieron no sólo mis abuelos y mis padres, sino también buena parte de nuestras tradiciones.
Ya no me cruzo en el camino de la cumbre con los vecinos de Chinamada, sino con turistas que atraviesan Anaga para bajar a la costa y luego dejar algunos euros en los restaurantes a cambio del pescado local.
Consumo de "Kilómetro cero", le dicen... Pero para nuestra gente siempre ha sido "faenar para subsistir".
A pesar de tantos cambios y pérdidas, cada año, por estas fechas, cuando llego a este punto del camino con mi perro Mocán, sigo saludando al sol, como hacían mis abuelos y mis padres cuando bajábamos y nos parábamos, justo aquí, en la estación de cazoletas guanches, el día en que empezaba el invierno.
Sigo acordándome de ellos y de todo lo que aprendí aquí, lejos de la ciudad.
Y sigo bañándome en el agua helada del mar, en La Punta, en diciembre, en el charco de las ovejas, con Mocán y mi familia.
Nuestra sombra y la de nuestra gente simboliza que cerca está la luz que nos ilumina.
No olvidemos el significado con el que seguimos haciendo aquellas cosas que nos dicen quiénes somos de verdad.

Unsere Wanderung von Cruz del Carmen nach Punta del Hidalgo hat uns an unsere Grenzen gebracht – aber es war jede Anstrengung wert! Die Route, die an der Ermita Nuestra Señora del Carmen beginnt, führt durch dichten Lorbeerwald, der uns zunächst in Sicherheit wiegt, bevor es richtig zur Sache geht.
Der Abschnitt nach Chinamada war traumhaft, aber dann wurde es ernst: Der Abstieg nach El Abogado verlangte uns wirklich alles ab. Es ging steil bergab, und wir mussten uns oft gut konzentrieren, um sicher auf dem Weg zu bleiben. Die Pfade waren schmal, die Felsen schroff, und die Höhenmeter machten sich deutlich bemerkbar.
Doch trotz der körperlichen Herausforderung wurden wir mit spektakulären Ausblicken auf die Küste und den tiefblauen Atlantik belohnt. Die Landschaft ist einfach unvergleichlich, und genau in diesen Momenten vergisst man die Erschöpfung für einen Augenblick.
Nach etwa 4 Stunden Wanderzeit erreicht man schließlich den Ort Punta del Hidalgo, ein idealer Platz, um die Tour bei Erfrischungsgetränke am Meer ausklingen zu lassen.
Ein paar Zahlen zur Tour: 15 Km und knapp 1.300 Höhenmeter.
Highlights: Lorbeerwald, Chinamada, Felsklippen, atemberaubende Ausblicke
Start: Cruz del Carmen (Ermita Nuestra Señora del Carmen)
Ende: Punta del Hidalgo
Schwierigkeit: Sehr anspruchsvoll
Für alle, die die wilde Natur Teneriffas in ihrer ganzen Pracht erleben wollen, ist diese Wanderung ein absolutes Muss! 💚

¿ES LA PLATANERA UN ÁRBOL?
Inicio / Curiosidades / ¿ES LA PLATANERA UN ÁRBOL?
Tumblr media
CURIOSIDADES, JARDINES CHINAMADA
¿ES LA PLATANERA UN ÁRBOL?
Es habitual utilizar como planta ornamental alguna de las especies de Musáceas, familia a la que pertenecen las diferentes variedades de plataneras, ya sea por petición del cliente o por consideración nuestra.
Muchas veces la hemos usado en nuestros diseños como elemento principal de una composición, que además cambia de ciclo en ciclo, dando a ese lugar en concreto del jardín un punto visual que continuamente cambia de aspecto, ya que con cada floración y fructitificación, la planta se elimina, dando paso a uno o varios ejemplares nuevos. Y además, tenemos la posibilidad de conseguir, si la planta está bien situada y adecuadamente nutrida, algo de fruta, que siempre es de agradecer.
Es por ello que muchas veces los clientes nos hablan de esta especie como si de un árbol se tratase, lo que no es de extrañar, y es que la lógica funciona así. Si los árboles dan fruta y el plátano es una fruta, entonces afirmamos que éstos nacen y crecen en un árbol, pero con tal afirmación nos estaríamos equivocando.
Recuerdo a un profesor de la universidad diciendo «…la platanera es una hierba grande…«.
Tumblr media
Al igual que la mayoría de las hojas, éstas están compuestas del limbo foliar2 (la lámina verde de cualquier hoja) y un peciolo3 (ese rabito que une la hoja con el tallo o tronco de una planta), solo que en este caso los peciolos son extremadamente grandes y con mucho grosor y se les llama vainas foliares3, creando lo que se conoce como pseudotallo o falso tronco3, sin estructura lignificada, es decir, no genera madera ni nada que se le parezca.
La mejor forma de captar la diferencia es cortando un «tronco» de platanera, lo puedes hacer con un cuchillo mínimamente afilado, algo que si lo intentas con cualquier otro tronco (esta vez sin comillas) lo mínimo que tienes que usar es un serrucho bien aserrado.
En definitiva, NO, no es un árbol, es una hierba «winstrolada».

3 jours.
À 7h20, alors que je m'élance vers le bus qui me conduira à Puerto, où je changerai pour la Laguna, où je changerai pour Anaga, je vois que les fidèles du bar "la tasquita" - bar sombre et masculin annoncé par un imposant tonneau, sont déjà en place.
Évidemment, le bus est en retard, nous sommes bloqués par des travaux, le signal "parada solicitada" ("arrêt souhaité") clignote rouge à chaque arrêt, un petit grand-père descend devant moi avec beaucoup de peine, le bus 102 pour la Laguna démarre sous mes yeux. Un autre part 30 minutes plus tard. Le temps d'un café con leche - café au lait (de soja.) Au premier "parada solicitada", 5 minutes après le départ, je décide de m'en remettre entre les mains du destin. Adoptons la philosophie insulaire : jamais pressés, jamais stressés. Tant pis si je n'ai le temps de randonner que 300 mètres, car je dois travailler à 17h, et le retour prendra au moins 2h30.
Et finalement, ça marche assez bien, puisque j'arrive vers 10h au Mirador Cruz del Carmen, d'où partent les randonnées dans l'Anaga.
Je veux descendre jusqu'à Punta del Hidalgo, 10 kilomètres de descente dans les montagnes jusqu'à la mer. "Tu as emmené assez d'eau, hein" me dit-on, "cette randonnée est vraiment longue". Mais les guides classent cette marche comme "facile".
J'aimerais toucher deux mots à celui qui a écrit ça !
La première moitié (5,9 km) se fait dans la forêt, avec les gazouillis des oiseaux, et les salutations des papillons. Un groupe de jeunes Espagnols marchent devant moi à vive allure, calculant leur vitesse avec leurs téléphones. Une fois arrivés à Chinamada, charmant village connu pour ses maisons creusées dans la montagne, le parcours devient très différent.
Les cinq kilomètres jusqu'à Punta del Hidalgo consistent en un sentier étroit et glissant, au bord du ravin. Les cailloux roulent sous mes pieds et je m'accroche aux rochers. Cela dure une heure et demie, sous le soleil brûlant de midi. J'ai néanmoins le temps de savourer la sublime nature qui m'entoure.
Une fois arrivée (enfin !), après 4h20 de marche, Pas le temps de chômer, il faut que je prenne le bus. Transpirante, épuisée mais heureuse, je m'assois donc dans un coin à part, et souris en retour à un couple de marcheurs - nous nous reconnaissons entre nous.

Costs at the Farmer's Market are most likely to be a bit a lot more costly, however the plants will likely be great sized specimens that are well cared for by people who grow the plants themselves. The smaller sized plants are the way to go if your strategy is to develop a succulent yard.
MCG is among the most preferred places to buy succulents on-line-- it's frequently advised as well as referred by delighted clients.
Usually talking, plants shouldn't spend more than five days boxed up, sans sun," Marino says.

I use Bonsai Jack for my indoor delicious soil, and have actually never ever been dissatisfied.

If you are sending plants through mail that are potted, use bubble wrap to protect the pot and the roots. A collar of cardboard over the soil and around the base of the plant, followed by a plastic bag closed around the base of the plant will help keep the soil in the container.
What is the difference between a cactus and a succulent?
Once repotted, give the plant plenty of bright light and barely water, and it will root itself in its new planter in about four weeks. Rosette-shaped succulents can also be propagated with stem cuttings when they begin to grow a long stem from maturity or lack of sunlight.

Colder temperatures can additionally draw out shades in succulents. A lot of plants usually have slow growth in the chillier periods as well as alter color and also form to adapt to the decrease in temperature level. Darker shades attract warm, which helps plants make it through in cooler temperatures. This is why leaves adjustment shade in the fall and also why some succulents change color in cold temperature levels. You may see that your tinted delicious reverts back to a deep environment-friendly color after offering it proper care.
Others, such as hens and also chicks (Sempervivum tectorum), flower only occasionally as well as are valued mainly for their leaves.
Winter is additionally a time when those new to growing succulents have issues because freezing temperatures can damage or kill them.
Personally, I make use of terracotta pots for my succulents given that these pots are really breathable.

This blog has come about because I have had a rough few weeks. I lost my implant that held several teeth (fortunately this is not too noticeable being at the back of my mouth).  I’ve also been suffering from Achilles tendonitis so have stayed home whenever possible, however, there are times when you get stir crazy and need to get out.
Most visitors to Tenerife never venture far from the resorts. Those that do usually like to get into the Rural Parks and stretch those muscles. As for the rest of us, we rarely make it much further than the car, because we are no longer too good on our pins, or feel we will be a hindrance to those who want to step out and see the beautiful scenery that the island has to offer.
However, that needn’t be the case, you can still get to the remote hamlet of Chinamada, a rambler’s delight, perched high in Tenerife’s magnificent Anaga Mountains by taking normal roads. Once there you may not wish to follow the hiking trails but the journey alone is worthwhile. Simply take the TF-13 from La Laguna then the TF-12 both good roads. After Las Carboneras follow the twists and turns until you reach Chinamada. The journey on this serpentine section of road is spectacular. In every direction there are views of mountains and deep gorges – you really are surrounded by the full power of nature. I have never been, but the rolling hills and terraces make me think of that famous picture of Machu Picchu.
For those who have not been to this area, there is no way to prepare for what you will see, it is a different world. Chinamada is a hamlet with around a hundred inhabitants where time has stood still. The residents still live in caves as did those before them. The fairy-tale homes have been carved into the sides of the mountains and these days some have had extensions added.
As well as the cave houses there is a church built by the villagers. Up until the 1990s, there was neither electricity nor a road so all the materials had to be brought up by donkeys. So cave houses, a church, that is it, except for a restaurant.
The name of the Restaurant is appropriately La Cueva. It is part cave, rustic and simple in its decor and there is also a terrace completely surrounded by spectacular ravines, rocks, cliffs and the majestic Teide in the distance. For such a remote area the restaurant gets busy with groups of walker coming and going and of course, it is the only restaurant in the area. The menu is traditionally Canarian but due to the number of customers that visit it isn’t as cheap as you would expect.
For those who want to find the real Tenerife, this is a must-visit area, a magical place, wild and untamed, where the inhabitants have become one with nature and those who visit,  find it so easy to disconnect.
