On 27 October, at 22:30, Televisión Canaria will air a new episode of 'Noveleros'. The programme delves into several homes across the Canary Islands, revealing the hard work and creativity of their residents in transforming their houses into personal and meaningful spaces.
Through four distinct stories, 'Noveleros' explores the emotional value of properties, restoration efforts, and family life in various locations throughout the archipelago.
Stories from the islands
The first segment of the evening takes viewers to the Villa de Ingenio in Gran Canaria, where Sergio, a florist of cochinero origin, has successfully acquired a traditional Canarian house after years of hard work. The segment highlights the historical significance of the building, characterised by a central courtyard filled with greenery and a carefully curated collection of antique pieces, reflecting the owner's deep connection to local traditions.
In Lanzarote, the programme visits the home of Patricia and Lester, who have recently completed a comprehensive renovation of an old building to create their family residence. This segment showcases how they have adapted their home to the island's volcanic landscape, their care for animals, and their integration into the local community.
Additionally, 'Noveleros' shares the story of Noelany, a creator from Santa Cruz who specialises in restoring furniture found at flea markets. She has modified her home to create an independent space for her mother, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, successfully tailoring the environment to meet both their needs.
The episode concludes with the story of José, a craftsman who has built various structures in the garden of his property with his own hands. After becoming a widower, he has devoted his time to handicrafts, basket weaving, and clay modelling, creating a small-scale traditional architectural ensemble that includes a miniature recreation for his grandchildren.
As every Tuesday, 'Noveleros' continues its journey across the Canary Islands, bringing viewers the stories of its people and showcasing the diverse ways of living, working, and understanding life in the archipelago.
