For travelers wishing to experience the incredibly diverse cuisine of the Canary Islands, Corralejo will delight with an ocean of flavors wafting from local restaurants and cafes. Here you can taste different variations of seafood and fish dishes, as well as meat (beef, pork, goat meat), which on the island is stewed according to a special recipe.
A local specialty is a mixture of fried wheat oat and corn flakes called Gofio. The flakes are mixed in various proportions along with almonds and figs. Also used in island cuisine are sauces based on coriander, basil and red chili peppers.
One of the popular dishes is specially prepared Papas Arrugadas potatoes. Of the first courses, islanders make watercress puree soup, chicken soup and broth with thick noodles, meat and potatoes. Gazpacho soup costs about 8 EUR.
Prices for Asturian stew, rabbit, lamb, seafood, as well as various steaks and pizzas range from 5-12 EUR. Also, restaurants offer tasting dishes from different types of meat and fish at a price of about 15-20 EUR.
In addition, on the volcanic soil between the sea and the mountain range, vineyards grow, from which unique white and red wine is produced. The local red wine Malvasia can be purchased at a price of 710 EUR. The largest selection of wine at humane prices in Corralejo is in the supermarket near the port behind the church.
Also, we recommend trying the local cakes, pastries and other pastries available in the coffee shops on the main street of Corralejo.
Not to be forgotten are the delicious locally produced goat cheeses.
