Local gastronomy

…is a further example of Tenerife’s authenticity and certainly the most delicious. Dishes made from local produce creating a marvelous fusion between traditional and avant-garde.“Papas arrugadas” (“wrinkled potatoes”) with red and green “mojos” (paprika and green coriander sauces),  ’gofio’(toasted corn meal), cheese, fish, honey…the islanders love of excellent food has led its local cuisine to be included in the prestigious club known as Saborea España (Tasting Spain), which encompasses the finest gastronomic destinations in Spain.

Red and white wines of five denominations of origin

Tenerife wines are unique in the world, original flavour and the sacrifice needed to make them in steep hand-cultivated vineyards often in narrow, remote areas. These elements, coupled to a nutrient-rich volcanic soil, give characteristics that, from the sixteenth century onwards, were recognized in Europe.

A good tip is to have lunch or dinner at local restaurants on the island and ask for wines from Tenerife. As well as being the perfect accompaniment to traditional dishes, local wines will make your experience even more delightful.
