Typical for the Canary Islands are the small wrinkled potatoes - Papas Arugadas with Mojo. They are served and eaten with the skin and are a popular side dish for all fish and meat dishes. Chickpeas are processed here into a delicious soup, which is cooked with Chorizo. If you like the mild meat of rabbit, you should try Conejo Salmorejo. For this dish, the rabbit is marinated in a mixture of wine, vinegar, and oil and seasoned with fine herbs. The Canary wines are characterized by a fine aroma and high quality. Many hours of sunshine, fertile soil, and little rain ensure sweet, fruity products such as La Orotava, Güimar, Arica, and Tacoronte-Acentejo. If your villa has a balcony or terrace, you can enjoy a glass of these delicious drops in peace and quiet in the evening.
