Between Icod de los Vinos and San Juan de la Rambla, La Guancha climbs from the coast towards the pine forests below Teide. It's a quiet, green municipality, and its guachinches cook with fresh local produce and serve home-made wine.

A few of them are among the most traditional on the island. Expect meat dishes, fresh fish and home-made desserts, served in a relaxed setting that suits a meal with friends or family.

If you're touring the north, stop for lunch and try the home cooking at the guachinches in La Guancha.
