Fodor's Expert Review Artenerife

Traditional crafts sold at this kiosk near the tourist office are made by local artisans and guaranteed by the island's government as productos artesanos. The selection includes calado—exquisitely embroidered linen tablecloths and place mats—and clay pottery made using the same methods as those used by the island's aboriginal settlers. (The Guanches didn't use potter's wheels; rather, they rolled the clay into churros, or cylindrical strips, and hand-kneaded these into bowls. Pebbles, branches, and shells were used to buff the results.)
