Food & Drink
Nearby, you’ll find a number of local cafés offering Canarian favourites like papas arrugadas con salsa mojo (Canarian hassleback potatoes served with spicy sauce), potaje (watercress soup), and carajacas (livers marinated in a spicy sauce). Popular tipples include locally produced wines and beers to enjoy alongside your meals.
