Gastronomy

You'll find palmero mojo and papas arrugadas in guachinches and restaurants across the island, especially in towns like Los Llanos de Aridane, Santa Cruz de La Palma and El Paso. On our outings with local palmero guides we point you to the trusted spots where islanders themselves eat.

The grape harvest runs from July to September and is the liveliest time in the wineries, but visits and tastings of malvasía, listán and negramoll wines are available year-round. Spring and autumn offer an ideal climate to combine food and nature.

Yes. Palmero cheese with Protected Designation of Origin, smoked with almond shell, pine or fig wood, keeps well and makes an excellent edible souvenir. It is sold at cheese shops and local markets; cured varieties travel better than fresh ones.
