Surfer DudeHi Dudes,

Welcome to the What’s Up Dude Blog. You’ll simply have to excuse my sense of humour as quite frankly I’ve been told it sucks on more than one occasion but I just couldn’t resist the temptation of bringing blogging and surfing together in an eclectic sort of way : ).

Well you’ve got to have a bit of fun sometimes and surfing has certainly been my muse over the years.

The What’s Up Dude blog is simply a random collection of articles that you can simply browse whilst relaxing and if you surf the links of the world wide web and ride the wave who knows what interesting website or blog you’ll stumble upon along the way. Some may be serious, some fun and some downright boring,. But thats life so you’ll simply have to roll with the swell (so whats new) and see what comes your way.

Also check out our article directory which is also jammed packed as solid as a tin of sardines with articles about almost anything from tips and advice about getting your ex back, to how to build that shack on the beach (or more likely garden shed).

Happy Surfing Dudes

There are a number of other local specialities that are well worth trying.

Many meals are accompanied by Papas Arrugadas, or wrinkled potatoes, which are cooked in heavily salted water and which are fantastic with fish.  These are often served with traditional sauces or mojos.  There are usually two main types served in local restaurants, the green or verde which is made using a base of coriander and the fierier roja or red sauce which features a lick of chilli.

Goats cheese is also very popular and the islands are renowned for their quality of their product.  These cheeses come in a number of different varieties, such as fresco, which is ultra fresh and very creamy but lacking a bit of bite and taste.  And then there´s Semi, which has been allowed to mature a little longer and which is often rolled in paprika or other spices, so producing a much fuller flavour.  These are often served as an appetizer with some establishments deep frying the cheese just to up the calorie count.

There´s a whole world of new taste experiences awaiting you on Lanzarote, but don’t fill your belly too much and then go surfing  as the waves at La Santa are a lot harder than they look.
