Enjoy the real taste of exquisite Canarian cooking, in which tradition and modernity go hand in hand to create delicious dishes. Characterised by its simplicity and the freshness and quality of the produce of land and sea, the cuisine of the islands could surprise the palate with its imaginative specialities: fish such as the vieja or cherne; seafood such as limpets, winkles and shrimps; rabbit meat, which is especially tasty when prepared in salmorejo sauce, carne fiesta and lamb and goat’s kid casseroles are only a few mouth-watering examples.

Superb cheeses, a rich variety of different kinds of honey and traditional cake and dessert-making will astound you together with the quality of excellent wines from grapes grown in the rich volcanic soil and with a centuries-old tradition.
