It's situated on a back street in Corralejo by the name of Calle General Prim.
Heard of this cove, Prim? I thought not.
Avenida is one of the most popular restaurants in town, particularly with inhabitants.
I was greeted cordially and sat at my usual table, a sturdy, simple, heavy, square, wooden affair.
The chairs are equally robust.
This is an unpretentious place.
Patrons return for good, authentic grub; and it's terrific value, too.
The waiter brought me a little basket of fresh bread and some of their delicious, strong alioli.
Real alioli is almost pungently strong, in my book.
I ordered a soft drink and the grilled salmon.
A word of advice: unless you're the build of Bertie Wooster's acquaintance, the Right Honourable A B Filmer, order a half-portion.
Heaven knows what size the full portion would be.
My salmon duly arrived, with those small Canarian potatoes and salad.
The fish seemed to be cut like a steak, and was served with a considerable number of bones and skin.
However, I have to say that it was a good flavour and succulent.
At the conclusion of my dinner they offered me a local liqueur called Ron Miel, served in a tiny "shot" glass, topped with whipped cream.
The entire bill came to €8.
