Small Canarian potatoes boiled in salted water until wrinkled, served with mojo sauce—red (spicy pepper-based) and green (coriander/garlic-based). The green version is mild and kid-friendly.
Vieja (parrotfish) is the local favourite, typically grilled simply with olive oil and garlic (a la espalda). Cherne (grouper) and sama (sea bream) are also common. Served with wrinkled potatoes and salad.
Toasted grain flour—a Canarian staple used in soups, stews, desserts, or as a side. Nutty flavour, highly nutritious. Often mixed into broth or used in gofio escaldado.
Liver marinated in spices and vinegar, then fried. A traditional Canarian tapa with bold flavours—definitely for adventurous adult palates, not for kids.
Traditional Canarian almond dessert—sweet, creamy almond paste served with ice cream or sponge cake. A must-try for those with a sweet tooth.
Unique wines grown on volcanic soil. Try whites from Listán Blanco grape or reds from Tacoronte-Acentejo D.O. Crater Wine is a popular local label with a light spicy liquorice note.
💡 For a family-friendly wine experience, order a bottle to share at dinner rather than visiting a tasting room with young children. Some bodegas may not allow young kids.
