Out at Tenerife's north-west tip, where the Teno mountains meet the sea, the guachinches in Buenavista del Norte make a good end to a trip to Masca. Come for the home cooking and the home-made wine.

This is one of the most popular corners of the island for guachinches, the simple Canarian eateries that pour their own Canarian wines and charge very reasonable prices.

Menus lean on traditional dishes: carne fiesta, gofio escaldado and papas arrugadas turn up at most of the popular ones.

Come during the grape harvest and you'll see where the wine comes from: it's made the traditional way in the guachinches' own wineries.

For Canarian cuisine at its most down-to-earth, Buenavista del Norte is hard to beat.
