Playa de los Pocillos holidays

Spanish cuisine is known to be rich in flavour and food on the Canary Islands is no exception. Fish is particularly favoured, coming in plentiful amounts and served with potatoes or on its own with a garlic sauce. Parrotfish and sea bream are commonly served, as well as grilled octopus, which is all incredibly delicious. One of the most popular dishes in the Canary Islands is papas arrugadas with mojo. This potato dish may not look special but they’re boiled in salted water until they are remarkably soft in the centre. Served alongside mojo, a sauce filled with peppers, oil, herbs and spices, it is the perfect accompaniment to pretty much every meal.
