Of course the effect does not has to be necessarily bad but there are many factors that we should consern us. 1. Cost of energy 2. Water wasted in producing luxury products for example exotic fruit3. Other ecological issues like over harvesting 4. logistical expences - money wasted - energy wasted - pollution 5. treating of animals 6. Chemicals used to grow fruit and vegetables 6. Treating of workers 7. Over production of food items 8. Waste produced in serving food in restaurants - you have no idea how much carbage we carry out every night after closing! Where does is it exactly go?

La Clave!
Great place in Puerto de la Cruz - serving catalanian and basque influenced pintxos and very good vine. During my two weeks visit I went there for a bite at least six times. Defineatly stands out from other places in that area. There are some other attempts to refresh the restaurant scene in puerto - like Kafka ana las Tulipas which are also worth of money with intresting decor and atmosphere.
