Grocery Prices Rise 8% in the Canary Islands

Thinking of going self-catering on holiday in Tenerife? Considering moving to the Canary Islands? Then you'll want to know what things cost and how much they're going up, so you can budget your living expenses.
If farmers react to food price rises in the UK, they are doing so here too, with a blog, published from the island of El Hierro, covering the worldwide Crisis Ganadera (Farming Crisis), where they reiterate the 8% rise in food prices and highlight the discrepancy between this and the average rise in salaries, of between 4 to 4.5%. (Average salaries in the Canary Islands are already the second lowest in Spain at 1470.61 euros (about 1142 quid), per month.)
