The cuisine of Puerto del Carmen is a synthesis of the Spanish culinary traditions that the colonists brought here, and the dishes of the guachas – the indigenous inhabitants of the island. Guachas lived a wealthy life, tilled the soil, fished, and ate without any frills. However, their food was quite satisfying. The Spaniards, who liked to eat a lot and a variety of food, brought to the island a lot of vegetables and fruits, cows and rabbits. Something peculiar, not similar to either Spanish or African cuisine appeared as a result of this mix. For example, the tapas culture is not widespread at all here. There are tapas bars everywhere in the cities of continental Spain. A multi-plate tapas dinner is absolutely normal there. But you can only find this type of snack in places designed for tourists in Puerto del Carmen.
