Chito is a popular game that involves throwing a metal disc against a cylinder (or similar piece of wood carved call chito or thong) at a distance of 22 meters, above the chito a coin is placed. The chito, under different names, is a game known and practiced in Spain, including the Canary Islands, but has many variations from one area to another.
