Round four of the 14 race calendar is the Rally Islas Canarias from 24-27 April.

Islas Canarias, named after the Canary Islands, where Mr. Andrade’s great-grandparents are from, was opened by his grandparents in 1977.

“It’s good to have healthy competition,” Mr. Andrade of Islas Canarias said.

“Something as little as croquetas is such a cultural movement,” said Jonathan Andrade, who is in charge of making croquetas for the restaurant Islas Canarias and its brand Croqueta County, often considered by fans to be the “gold standard” of the food’s classic varieties.

A los 102 años, Gerena Rivera, cuyos ancestros venían de Islas Canarias, viajó con Jiménez a Puerto Rico, su isla natal, para visitar a su hermana menor María Gerena Rivera de Avilés, quien estaba enferma en un hogar de ancianos.
