The south is sunnier and drier than the north, and it's easy to spend a whole holiday on the coast. Drive a little way uphill, though, and the guachinches make a fine introduction to Canarian cuisine.
Guachinches are traditional Canarian eateries serving small plates, grilled meat and local wine.
In the south they're spread out across the countryside, from the vineyards on the upper slopes down to the coast.
Several have wide sea views, enough to earn them a place on your list of things to see in Tenerife.
Set aside an afternoon away from the beach for some real Canarian cooking.
