if i'm speaking Spanish I say la peninsula, if i'm speaking English I say mainland Spain ... anyhoo, I never say Spain when I refer to my home here, ... if someone asks me "where do you live?" i reply "The Canary Islands"
Ok then.
Thank you for your clarification Oberon. I made a mistake in my previous post, where I wrote "mainland" I wanted to write peninsula. Anyway, Oberon is right.

when i come to tenerife on holidays i speak the castillian dialect and have no trouble being understood because dont forget there are a lot of mainland spanish folk working in the canaries especially in the holiday resorts because of the work opportunity there but i dont know about places like the orotava valley not been there yet..
