The Canarian Pantry
Six Dishes You
Must Try
Papas Arrugadas
Wrinkled potatoes boiled in heavily salted water, served with mojo verde or mojo rojo. The definitive Canarian dish.
Sancocho Canario
Salt-cured fish (cherne or corvina) with papas, sweet potato, and mojo. A Sunday tradition across all seven islands.
Gofio
Toasted grain flour — the ancient Guanche staple. Used in soups, desserts, and as a bread substitute. Utterly unique.
Malvasía Wine
The volcanic white wine of Lanzarote — grown in lava craters. Honeyed, mineral, and unlike any other wine in Europe.
Bienmesabe
Almond cream dessert from Gran Canaria — "it tastes good to me." Served with ice cream or as a sauce over fresh fruit.
Queso Majorero
PDO goat cheese from Fuerteventura — Spain's most awarded artisan cheese. Available fresh, semi-cured, or aged with paprika.

Tours
Guachinche Tavern Trail
Full day · Groups of 2–8
Guachinches are Tenerife's secret — unlicensed family taverns that open only when the harvest wine is ready. We take you to three of the best in the Orotava Valley, where you'll eat papas arrugadas, mojo, and grilled meats alongside local farmers.
La Geria Wine & Volcano
Full day · Groups of 2–6
Lanzarote's La Geria wine region is unlike any other on earth — vines grow in individual volcanic craters (hoyos) dug into black lapilli to capture moisture. Visit three family bodegas producing the island's prized Malvasía, paired with local goat cheese.
Las Palmas Market & Cooking
Half day · Groups of 2–10
Start at Las Palmas's spectacular Mercado del Puerto, where local fishermen bring the morning catch. Then move to a professional kitchen to learn three classic Canarian recipes — sancocho, papas arrugadas, and bienmesabe dessert.
Fuerteventura Goat Farm & Cheese
Half day · Groups of 2–8
Fuerteventura's Majorero goat cheese is the only Canarian cheese with PDO status. Visit a working farm in the island's interior, watch the cheese-making process, and taste five varieties from fresh to aged alongside local honey and fig jam.
La Palma Rum & Cigar Trail
Full day · Groups of 2–6
La Palma is the Canaries' most artisan island — home to the archipelago's finest rum distillery and the last hand-rolled cigar makers. This full-day tour visits Ron Aldea's historic distillery, a working cigar workshop, and a banana plantation for the island's famous platanos.
