Santiago del Teide takes in the sheer cliffs of Los Gigantes on the coast as well as the quiet town inland. Away from the boat trips, its guachinches are one of the best ways to try real Canarian food in Tenerife: traditional home cooking with local home-made wine.

The dishes are the classics, from conejo en salmorejo and gofio escaldado to papas arrugadas with a pot of mojo, along with a few local specialities. Prices are very reasonable as well.

Some of the best guachinches in Tenerife are here. If you like simple food in a relaxed, family setting, you'll be happy.
