Fresh fish, seafood, and aromatic herbs: the traditional cuisine of Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Palma, and El Hierro is a true revelation for food lovers. Among the culinary treasures, you'll find the famous papas arrugadas, small wrinkled potatoes paired with flavorful mojo sauce. Each island boasts its own specialties, reflecting the history and culture of the region. The Canary Islands are also home to a rich wine tradition, featuring over 40 unique grape varieties and numerous wineries across the islands. Wine tastings, available year-round, are a particular highlight. Lanzarote’s viticulture is especially fascinating, with vines thriving in its stark volcanic landscape. Here, you can sample the renowned Malvasia wine, cultivated in the fertile black lava soils.
